        All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed

Item 9. Undertakings

        A.      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts
or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Registrant's 1997
Stock Incentive Plan.


                                      II-3.
<PAGE>   5
        B.      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

        C.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

        Re:   Registration Statement for Offering of
              1,648,475 Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We refer to your Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 1,648,475 shares of
the Common Stock of Odwalla, Inc. (the "Company") under the Company's 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan. We advise you that, in our opinion, when such shares have been
issued and sold pursuant to the applicable provisions of the 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan and in accordance with the Registration Statement, such shares
will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of
the Company's Common Stock.

        We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    /s/  Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP

                     1997 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN

                                  ARTICLE ONE

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

       I.        PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

                 This 1997 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to
promote the interests of Odwalla, Inc., a California corporation, by providing
eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or
otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an
incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation.  This Plan
shall serve as the successor equity incentive program to the Corporation's 1993
Stock Option Plan and the Corporation's 1994 Non-Employee Directors' Stock
Option Plan.

                 Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the attached Appendix.

     II.         STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

                 A.       The Plan shall be divided into three separate equity
programs:

                          -       the Discretionary Option Grant Program under
which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be
granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock,

                          -       the Stock Issuance Program under which
eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued
shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such
shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary), and

                          -       the Automatic Option Grant Program under
which eligible non-employee Board members shall automatically receive option
grants at periodic intervals to purchase shares of Common Stock.

                 B.       The provisions of Articles One and Five shall apply
to all equity programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all
persons under the Plan.
<PAGE>   2
     III.        ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

                 A.       The Primary Committee shall have sole and exclusive
authority to administer the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance
Programs with respect to Section 16 Insiders.

                 B.       Administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and
Stock Issuance Programs with respect to all other persons eligible to
participate in those programs may, at the Board's discretion, be vested in the
Primary Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain the power
to administer those programs with respect to all such persons.  The members of
the Secondary Committee may be Board members who are Employees eligible to
receive discretionary option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan or
any other stock option, stock appreciation, stock bonus or other stock plan of
the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

                 C.       Members of the Primary Committee or any Secondary
Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and
may be removed by the Board at any time.  The Board may also at any time
terminate the functions of any Secondary Committee and reassume all powers and
authority previously delegated to such committee.

                 D.       Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of
its administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and authority
(subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations
as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Discretionary
Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs and to make such determinations under,
and issue such interpretations of, the provisions of such programs and any
outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or
advisable.  Decisions of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its
administrative functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all
parties who have an interest in the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock
Issuance Programs under its jurisdiction or any option or stock issuance
thereunder.

                 E.       Service on the Primary Committee or the Secondary
Committee shall constitute service as a Board member, and members of each such
committee shall accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and
reimbursement as Board members for their service on such committee.  No member
of the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall be liable for any act
or omission made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option grants or
stock issuances under the Plan.

                 F.       Administration of the Automatic Option Grant Program
shall be self-executing in accordance with the terms of that program, and no
Plan Administrator shall exercise any discretionary functions with respect to
any option grants or stock issuances made under such program.

     IV.         ELIGIBILITY
<PAGE>   3
                 A.       The persons eligible to participate in the
Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs are as follows:

                               (i)         Employees,

                              (ii)         non-employee members of the Board or
the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and

                             (iii)         consultants and other independent
         advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or
         Subsidiary).

                 B.       Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of
its administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full authority to
determine, (i) with respect to the option grants under the Discretionary Option
Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive option grants, the time or
times when such option grants are to be made, the number of shares to be
covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an
Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option
is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the
option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain
outstanding and (ii) with respect to stock issuances under the Stock Issuance
Program, which eligible persons are to receive stock issuances, the time or
times when such issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to
each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares
and the consideration for such shares.

                 C.       The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute
discretion either to grant options in accordance with the Discretionary Option
Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock
Issuance Program.

                 D.       The individuals who shall be eligible to participate
in the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be limited to (i) those individuals
who first become non-employee Board members on or after the Plan Effective
Date, whether through appointment by the Board or election by the Corporation's
stockholders and (ii) those individuals who continue to serve as non-employee
Board members at one or more Annual Stockholders Meetings held after the Plan
Effective Date.  A non-employee Board member who has previously been in the
employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) shall not be eligible
to receive an option grant under the Automatic Option Grant Program at the time
he or she first becomes a non-employee Board member, but shall be eligible to
receive periodic option grants under the Automatic Option Grant Program while
he or she continues to serve as a non-employee Board member.
<PAGE>   4
       V.        STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

                 A.       The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of
authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares
repurchased by the Corporation on the open market.  The maximum number of
shares of Common Stock initially reserved for issuance over the term of the
Plan shall not exceed 1,648,475 shares.  Such authorized share reserve is
comprised of (i) the number of shares which remain available for issuance, as
of the Plan Effective Date, under the Predecessor Plans as last approved by the
Corporation's stockholders, including the shares subject to the outstanding
options to be incorporated into the Plan and the additional shares which would
otherwise be available for future grant, plus (ii) an additional increase of
450,000 shares authorized by the Board subject to stockholder approval at the
1997 Annual Stockholders Meeting.

                 B.       No one person participating in the Plan may receive
options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock
issuances for more than 300,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per the
Company's fiscal year, beginning with the 1997 fiscal year.

                 C.       Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options
(including options incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plans)
shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent those
options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full.  Unvested
shares issued under the Plan and subsequently cancelled or repurchased by the
Corporation, at the original exercise or issue price paid per share, pursuant
to the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to
the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and
shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent
option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan.  However, should the
exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common Stock
or should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be withheld
by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in
connection with the exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance
under the Plan, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for
issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for
which the option is exercised or which vest under the stock issuance, and not
by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of such option
or stock issuance.

                 D.       If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason
of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares,
exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a
class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities
issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities for which
any one person may be granted stock options, separately exercisable stock
appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under this Plan per calendar
year, (iii) the number and/or class of securities for which grants are
subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and
continuing non-employee Board members, (iv) the number and/or class of
securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding
option under the Plan and (v) the number and/or class of securities and price
per share in effect under each outstanding option incorporated
<PAGE>   5
into this Plan from the Predecessor Plans.  Such adjustments to the outstanding
options are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or
dilution of rights and benefits under such options. The adjustments determined
by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.

                                  ARTICLE TWO

                       DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

       I.        OPTION TERMS

                 Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the
form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such
document shall comply with the terms specified below.  Each document evidencing
an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the
Plan applicable to such options.

                 A.       EXERCISE PRICE.

                          1.      The exercise price per share shall be fixed
by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%)
of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

                          2.      The exercise price shall become immediately
due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section
I of Article Five and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or
more of the forms specified below:

                               (i)         cash or check made payable to the
         Corporation,

                              (ii)         shares of Common Stock held for the
         requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's
         earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market
         Value on the Exercise Date, or

                             (iii)         to the extent the option is
         exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance
         procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide
         irrevocable written instructions to (a) a Corporation-designated
         brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares
         and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on
         the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise
         price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal,
         state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by
         the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) the Corporation to
         deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such
         brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.

                 Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is
utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made
on the Exercise Date.

                 B.       EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS.  Each option shall be
exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of
shares as shall be determined by the Plan 
<PAGE>   7
Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option.  However, no
option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option
grant date.

                 C.       EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

                          1.      The following provisions shall govern the
exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of
Service or death:

                               (i)         Any option outstanding at the time
         of the Optionee's cessation of Service for any reason shall remain
         exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined
         by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing
         the option, but no such option shall be exercisable after the
         expiration of the option term.

                              (ii)         Any option exercisable in whole or
         in part by the Optionee at the time of death may be subsequently
         exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or
         by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to
         the Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and
         distribution.

                             (iii)         Should the Optionee's Service be
         terminated for Misconduct, then all outstanding options held by the
         Optionee shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

                              (iv)         During the applicable post-Service
         exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for
         more than the number of vested shares for which the option is
         exercisable on the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service.  Upon
         the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon
         the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and
         cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has
         not been exercised.  However, the option shall, immediately upon the
         Optionee's cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding
         to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for
         vested shares.

                          2.      The Plan Administrator shall have complete
discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time
while the option remains outstanding, to:

                                (i)        extend the period of time for which
         the option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee's cessation
         of Service from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for
         that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator
         shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the
         option term, and/or

<PAGE>   8
                               (ii)        permit the option to be exercised,
         during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with
         respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such
         option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of
         Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments
         in which the Optionee would have vested had the Optionee continued in
         Service.

                 D.       STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.  The holder of an option shall
have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option
until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and
become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

                 E.       REPURCHASE RIGHTS.  The Plan Administrator shall have
the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of
Common Stock.  Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested
shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise
price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares.  The terms upon
which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and
procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased
shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the
document evidencing such repurchase right.

                 F.       LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  During the
lifetime of the Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the
Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution following the Optionee's death.  However,
a Non-Statutory Option may, in connection with the Optionee's estate plan, be
assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime to one or more
members of the Optionee's immediate family or to a trust established
exclusively for one or more such family members.  The assigned portion may only
be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the
option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion
shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such
assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as
the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.

     II.         INCENTIVE OPTIONS

                 The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive
Options.  Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the
provisions of Articles One, Two and Five shall be applicable to Incentive
Options.  Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options
when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section
II.

                 A.       ELIGIBILITY.  Incentive Options may only be granted
to Employees.

                 B.       DOLLAR LIMITATION.  The aggregate Fair Market Value
of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of
grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any
<PAGE>   9
Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive
Options during any one calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more
such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar
year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as
Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such
options are granted.

                 C.       10% STOCKHOLDER.  If any Employee to whom an
Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per
share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term
shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date.

     III.        CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

                 A.       In the event of any Corporate Transaction, each
outstanding option shall automatically accelerate so that each such option
shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction,
become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of shares of Common
Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of
those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  However, an outstanding
option shall not so accelerate if and to the extent:  (i) such option is, in
connection with the Corporate Transaction, to be assumed by the successor
corporation (or parent thereof), (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash
incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread
existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction
and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule
applicable to those option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is
subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of
the option grant.

                 B.       All outstanding repurchase rights shall also
terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those
terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate
Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be
assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with
such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by
other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase
right is issued.

                 C.       Immediately following the consummation of the
Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or
parent thereof).

                 D.       Each option which is assumed in connection with a
Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such
Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction.  Appropriate adjustments to reflect such Corporate Transaction
shall also be made to (i) the exercise price payable per share under each
outstanding option, provided the aggregate
<PAGE>   10
exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same, (ii) the
maximum number and/or class of securities available for issuance over the
remaining term of the Plan and (iii) the maximum number and/or class of
securities for which any one person may be granted stock options, separately
exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the Plan
per calendar year.

                 E.       The Plan Administrator shall have full power and
authority to grant one or more options under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program which will automatically accelerate in the event the Optionee's Service
subsequently terminates by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a
designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective
date of any Corporate Transaction in which those options are assumed or
replaced and do not otherwise accelerate.  Any options so accelerated shall
remain exercisable for fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the option term or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period
measured from the effective date of the Involuntary Termination.  In addition,
the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the Corporation's
outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at
the time of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate, and the
shares subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in
full.

                 F.       The Plan Administrator shall have full power and
authority to grant one or more options under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program which will automatically accelerate in the event the Optionee's Service
subsequently terminates by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a
designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective
date of any Change in Control.  Each option so accelerated shall remain
exercisable for fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of
the option term or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period measured from
the effective date of the Involuntary Termination.  In addition, the Plan
Administrator may provide that one or more of the Corporation's outstanding
repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of
such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate, and the shares
subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full.

                 G.       The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in
connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall remain
exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One
Hundred Thousand Dollar limitation is not exceeded.  To the extent such dollar
limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be
exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws.

                 H.       The outstanding options shall in no way affect the
right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change
its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate
or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

     IV.         CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS
<PAGE>   11
                 The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at
any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option
holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the
Discretionary Option Grant Program (including outstanding options incorporated
from the Predecessor Plans) and to grant in substitution new options covering
the same or different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise
price per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the
new grant date.

       V.        STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

                 A.       The Plan Administrator shall have full power and
authority to grant to selected Optionees tandem stock appreciation rights
and/or limited stock appreciation rights.

                 B.       The following terms shall govern the grant and
exercise of tandem stock appreciation rights:

                               (i)         One or more Optionees may be granted
         the right, exercisable upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may
         establish, to elect between the exercise of the underlying option for
         shares of Common Stock and the surrender of that option in exchange
         for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the
         excess of (a) the Fair Market Value (on the option surrender date) of
         the number of shares in which the Optionee is at the time vested under
         the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (b) the
         aggregate exercise price payable for such shares.

                              (ii)         No such option surrender shall be
         effective unless it is approved by the Plan Administrator, either at
         the time of the actual option surrender or at any earlier time.  If
         the surrender is so approved, then the distribution to which the
         Optionee shall be entitled may be made in shares of Common Stock
         valued at Fair Market Value on the option surrender date, in cash, or
         partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Plan Administrator shall
         in its sole discretion deem appropriate.

                             (iii)         If the surrender of an option is not
         approved by the Plan Administrator, then the Optionee shall retain
         whatever rights the Optionee had under the surrendered option (or
         surrendered portion thereof) on the option surrender date and may
         exercise such rights at any time prior to the later of (a) five (5)
         business days after the receipt of the rejection notice or (b) the
         last day on which the option is otherwise exercisable in accordance
         with the terms of the documents evidencing such option, but in no
         event may such rights be exercised more than ten (10) years after the
         option grant date.

                 C.       The following terms shall govern the grant and
exercise of limited stock appreciation rights:
<PAGE>   12
                               (i)         One or more Section 16 Insiders may
         be granted limited stock appreciation rights with respect to their
         outstanding options.

                              (ii)         Upon the occurrence of a Hostile
         Take-Over, each individual holding one or more options with such a
         limited stock appreciation right shall have the unconditional right
         (exercisable for a thirty (30)-day period following such Hostile
         Take-Over) to surrender each such option to the Corporation, to the
         extent the option is at the time exercisable for vested shares of
         Common Stock.  In return for the surrendered option, the Optionee
         shall receive a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount
         equal to the excess of (A) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common
         Stock which are at the time vested under each surrendered option (or
         surrendered portion thereof) over (B) the aggregate exercise price
         payable for such shares.  Such cash distribution shall be paid within
         five (5) days following the option surrender date.

                             (iii)         The Plan Administrator shall
         pre-approve, at the time the limited right is granted, the subsequent
         exercise of that right in accordance with the terms of the grant and
         the provisions of this Section V.  No additional approval of the Plan
         Administrator or the Board shall be required at the time of the actual
         option surrender and cash distribution.

                              (iv)         The balance of the option (if any)
         shall remain outstanding and exercisable in accordance with the
         documents evidencing such option.

                             STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

       I.        STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

                 Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance
Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening option
grants.  Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance
Agreement which complies with the terms specified below.

                 A.       PURCHASE PRICE.

                          1.      The purchase price per share shall be fixed
by the Plan Administrator, but shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%)
of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issuance date.

                          2.      Subject to the provisions of Section I of
Article Five, shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance
Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan
Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance:

                               (i)         cash or check made payable to the
Corporation, or

                              (ii)         past services rendered to the
Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

                 B.       VESTING PROVISIONS.

                          1.      Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock
Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and
immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over
the Participant's period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance
objectives.  The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested
shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program, namely:

                               (i)         the Service period to be completed
         by the Participant or the performance objectives to be attained,

                              (ii)         the number of installments in which
         the shares are to vest,

                             (iii)         the interval or intervals (if any)
         which are to lapse between installments, and

                              (iv)         the effect which death, Permanent
         Disability or other event designated by the Plan Administrator is to
         have upon the vesting schedule,
<PAGE>   14

         shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the
         Stock Issuance Agreement.

                          2.      Any new, substituted or additional securities
or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend)
which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the
Participant's unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend,
stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or
other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation's receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same
vesting requirements applicable to the Participant's unvested shares of Common
Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem
appropriate.

                          3.      The Participant shall have full stockholder
rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant
under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant's interest in
those shares is vested.  Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to
vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares.

                          4.      Should the Participant cease to remain in
Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under
the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained
with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those
shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation,
and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to
those shares.  To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to
the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including
the Participant's purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to
the Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and
shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase- money
note of the Participant attributable to the surrendered shares.

                          5.      The Plan Administrator may in its discretion
waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common
Stock which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant's
Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those
shares.  Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant's
interest in the shares as to which the waiver applies.  Such waiver may be
effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant's cessation of
Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance
objectives.

         II.     CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

                 A.       All of the Corporation's outstanding
repurchase/cancellation rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate
automatically, and all the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated
rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate
Transaction, except to the extent (i) those repurchase/cancellation rights are
to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection
with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded
by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance Agreement.
<PAGE>   15
                 B.       The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary
authority, exercisable either at the time the unvested shares are issued or any
time while the Corporation's repurchase/cancellation rights with respect to
such shares remain outstanding under the Stock Issuance Program, to provide
that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part, and the
shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately
vest, in the event the Participant's Service should subsequently terminate by
reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed
eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction
in which those repurchase/cancellation rights are assigned to the successor
corporation (or parent thereof).

                 C.       The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary
authority, exercisable either at the time the unvested shares are issued or any
time while the Corporation's repurchase/cancellation rights with respect to
such shares remain outstanding under the Stock Issuance Program, to provide
that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part, and the
shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately
vest, in the event the Participant's Service should subsequently terminate by
reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed
eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control.

         III.    SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

                 Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion,
be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant's interest in such
shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive
legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                         AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

       I.        OPTION TERMS

                 A.       GRANT DATES.  Option grants shall be made on the
dates specified below:

                          1.      Each individual who is first elected or
appointed as a non-employee Board member at any time on or after the Plan
Effective Date shall automatically be granted, on the date of such initial
election or appointment, a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 5,000 shares of
Common Stock, provided that individual has not previously been in the employ of
the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary.

                          2.      On the date of each Annual Stockholders
Meeting beginning on the Plan Effective Date, each individual who is to
continue to serve as an Eligible Director, whether or not that individual is
standing for re-election to the Board at that particular Annual Meeting, shall
automatically be granted a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 3,000 shares of
Common Stock, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board
member for at least six (6) months.  There shall be no limit on the number of
such 3,000-share option grants any one Eligible Director may receive over his
or her period of Board service, and non-employee Board members who have
previously been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary)
or who have otherwise received a stock option grant from the Corporation prior
to the Plan Effective Date shall be eligible to receive one or more such annual
option grants over their period of continued Board service.

                 B.       EXERCISE PRICE.

                          1.      The exercise price per share shall be equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock on the option grant date.

                          2.      The exercise price shall be payable in one or
more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program.  Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified
thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares
must be made on the Exercise Date.

                 C.       OPTION TERM.  Each option shall have a term of ten
(10) years measured from the option grant date.

                 D.       EXERCISE AND VESTING OF OPTIONS.  Each option shall
be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares.  However, any
shares purchased under the option shall be subject to repurchase by the
Corporation, at the exercise price paid per share, upon the Optionee's
cessation of Board service prior to vesting in those shares.  Each initial
5,000-share grant
<PAGE>   17
shall vest, and the Corporation's repurchase right shall lapse, in a series of
four (4) successive equal annual installments upon the Optionee's completion of
each year of Board service over the four (4)-year period measured from the
option grant date. Each annual 3,000-share grant shall vest, and the
Corporation's repurchase right shall lapse, upon the Optionee's completion of
one (1) year of Board service measured from the automatic grant date.

                 E.       TERMINATION OF BOARD SERVICE.  The following
provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the
time the Optionee ceases to serve as a Board member:

                               (i)         The Optionee (or, in the event of
         Optionee's death, the personal representative of the Optionee's estate
         or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to
         the Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and
         distribution) shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date
         of such cessation of Board service in which to exercise each such
         option.

                              (ii)         During the twelve (12)-month
         exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for
         more than the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which the
         option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Board
         service.

                             (iii)         Should the Optionee cease to serve
         as a Board member by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all
         shares at the time subject to the option shall immediately vest so
         that such option may, during the twelve (12)-month exercise period
         following such cessation of Board service, be exercised for all or any
         portion of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.

                              (iv)         In no event shall the option remain
         exercisable after the expiration of the option term.  Upon the
         expiration of the twelve (12)-month exercise period or (if earlier)
         upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and
         cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has
         not been exercised.  However, the option shall, immediately upon the
         Optionee's cessation of Board service for any reason other than death
         or Permanent Disability, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the
         extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested
         shares.

     II.         CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

                 A.       In the event of any Corporate Transaction, the shares
of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option but not
otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option
shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction,
<PAGE>   18
become fully exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time
subject to such option and may be exercised for all or any portion of those
shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  In addition, all outstanding
repurchase rights shall also terminate automatically, and the shares of Common
Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full in the
event of any Corporate Transaction.  Immediately following the consummation of
the Corporate Transaction, each automatic option grant shall terminate and
cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor
corporation (or parent thereof).

                 B.       In connection with any Change in Control, the shares
of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option but not
otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option
shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become
fully exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to
such option and may be exercised for all or any portion of those shares as
fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  In addition, all outstanding repurchase
rights shall also terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock
subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full in connection
with any Change in Control.  Each automatic option grant so accelerated shall
remain exercisable for such fully-vested option shares until the expiration or
sooner termination of the option term or the surrender of the option in
connection with a Hostile Take-Over.

                 C.       Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the
Optionee shall have a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the
Corporation each of his or her outstanding automatic option grants.  The
Optionee shall in return be entitled to a cash distribution from the
Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the
shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each surrendered option (whether
or not the Optionee is otherwise at the time vested in those shares) over (ii)
the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares.  Such cash distribution
shall be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the option to the
Corporation.  Stockholder approval of the Plan shall constitute pre-approval of
the exercise of such right in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Section II.C.  No additional approval or consent of the Board or any Plan
Administrator shall be required in connection with such option surrender and
cash distribution.

                 D.       Each option which is assumed in connection with a
Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such
Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction.  Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price
payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate
exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same.

                 E.       The grant of options under the Automatic Option Grant
Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust,
reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or
to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part
of its business or assets.
<PAGE>   19
     III.        REMAINING TERMS

                 The remaining terms of each option granted under the Automatic
Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants
made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.
<PAGE>   20
                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

       I.        FINANCING

                 The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant
to pay the option exercise price under the Discretionary Option Grant Program
or the purchase price of shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by
delivering a full-recourse, interest bearing promissory note payable in one or
more installments.  The terms of any such promissory note (including the
interest rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan
Administrator in its sole discretion.  In no event may the maximum credit
available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate
option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares plus
(ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax liability incurred
by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or
share purchase.

     II.         TAX WITHHOLDING

                 A.       The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of options or the issuance or vesting of such
shares under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable
Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements.

                 B.       The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion,
provide any or all holders of Non-Statutory Options or unvested shares of
Common Stock under the Plan (other than the options granted or the shares
issued under the Automatic Option Grant Program) with the right to use shares
of Common Stock in satisfaction of all or part of the Taxes incurred by such
holders in connection with the exercise of their options or the vesting of
their shares.  Such right may be provided to any such holder in either or both
of the following formats:

                          Stock Withholding:  The election to have the
Corporation withhold, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon
the exercise of such Non-Statutory Option or the vesting of such shares, a
portion of those shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
percentage of the Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated
by the holder.

                          Stock Delivery:  The election to deliver to the
Corporation, at the time the Non-Statutory Option is exercised or the shares
vest, one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder
(other than in connection with the option exercise or share vesting triggering
the Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the
Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder.

     III.        EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN
<PAGE>   21
                 A.       The Plan and each of the equity incentive programs
thereunder shall become effective immediately upon the approval of the
Corporation's shareholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting.  Options may be granted
under the Plan at any time on or after the date of such shareholder approval.
If such shareholder approval is not obtained, then this Plan shall not become
effective, and no options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under
the Plan.

                 B.       The Plan shall serve as the successor to the
Predecessor Plans, and no further option grants or direct stock issuances shall
be made under the Predecessor Plans after the Plan Effective Date.   All
options outstanding under the Predecessor Plans on the Plan Effective Date
shall be incorporated into the Plan at that time and shall be treated as
outstanding options under the Plan.  However, each outstanding option so
incorporated shall continue to be governed solely by the terms of the documents
evidencing such option, and no provision of the Plan shall be deemed to affect
or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of the holders of such
incorporated options with respect to their acquisition of shares of Common
Stock.

                 C.       One or more provisions of the Plan, including
(without limitation) the option/vesting acceleration provisions of Article Two
relating to Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control, may, in the Plan
Administrator's discretion, be extended to one or more options incorporated
from the Predecessor Plans which do not otherwise contain such provisions.

                 D.       The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i)
March 4, 2007, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under
the Plan shall have been issued as fully-vested shares or (iii) the termination
of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction.  Upon
such plan termination, all outstanding option grants and unvested stock
issuances shall thereafter continue to have force and effect in accordance with
the provisions of the documents evidencing such grants or issuances.

     IV.         AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

                 A.       The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and
authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects.  However, no such
amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations
with respect to stock options or unvested stock issuances at the time
outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to
such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require
stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws or regulations.

                 B.       Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be
granted under the Discretionary Option Grant Program and shares of Common Stock
may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program that are in each instance in
excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan,
provided any excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held
in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment
sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for
issuance under the Plan.  If such stockholder approval is not obtained within
twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess issuances are
<PAGE>   22
made, then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess
shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation
shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or
purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in
escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for
the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be
automatically cancelled and cease to be outstanding.

       V.        USE OF PROCEEDS

                 Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of
shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate
purposes.

     VI.         REGULATORY APPROVALS

                 A.       The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any
stock option under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock (i)
upon the exercise of any granted option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance
Program shall be subject to the Corporation's procurement of all approvals and
permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan,
the stock options granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to it.

                 B.       No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be
issued or delivered under the Plan unless and until there shall have been
compliance with all applicable requirements of Federal and state securities
laws, including the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration
statement for the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, and all
applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National
Market, if applicable) on which Common Stock is then listed for trading.

     VII.        NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS

                 Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the
Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific
duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the
Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or
of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved
by each, to terminate such person's Service at any time for any reason, with or

      A.    The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the
services of selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board or of the
board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and other
independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary).

      B.    Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a
Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is
intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the
Corporation's grant of an option to Optionee.

      C.    All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

            NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

            1.    GRANT OF OPTION. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as
of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares
specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time
to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

            2.    OPTION TERM. This option shall have a maximum term of ten (10)
years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5 or 6.

            3.    LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. This option shall be neither
transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution following Optionee's death and may be exercised, during
Optionee's lifetime, only by Optionee. However, if this option is designated a
Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may, in connection
with the Optionee's estate plan, be assigned in whole or in part during
Optionee's lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's immediate family or
to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of one or more such family
members. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons
who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment.
The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in
effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set
forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may
deem appropriate.


<PAGE>   2
            4.    DATES OF EXERCISE. This option shall become exercisable for
the Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice.
As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments

installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term
under Paragraph 5 or 6.

            5.    CESSATION OF SERVICE. The option term specified in Paragraph 2
shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the
Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

                        (i)   Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any
      reason (other than death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct) while this
      option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of three (3)
      months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during
      which to exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be
      exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

                        (ii)  If Optionee dies while this option is outstanding,
      then the personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or
      persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or
      in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall have the
      right to exercise this option. Such right shall lapse, and this option
      shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of
      the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee's death
      or (B) the Expiration Date.

                        (iii) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of
      Permanent Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall
      have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such
      cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event
      shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

                        (iv)  During the limited period of post-Service
      exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more
      than the number of vested Option Shares for which the option is
      exercisable at the time of Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the
      expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the
      Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding
      for any vested Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised.
      However, this option shall, immediately upon Optionee's cessation of
      Service for any reason, terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect
      to any Option Shares in which Optionee is not otherwise at that time
      vested or for which this option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

                        (v)   Should Optionee's Service be terminated for
      Misconduct, then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to
      remain outstanding.

            6.    SPECIAL ACCELERATION OF OPTION.

                  (a)   This option, to the extent outstanding at the time of a
Corporate Transaction but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically
accelerate so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of
the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all of the Option Shares at
the time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or all of those
Option Shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. No such acceleration of
this option, however, shall occur if and to the extent: (i) this option is, in
connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or to be replaced with a comparable option to
purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of
the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested
Option Shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction (the excess of the Fair
Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable
for such shares) and provides for subsequent pay-out in accordance with the same
option exercise/vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. The
determination of option comparability under clause (i) shall be made by the Plan
Administrator, and such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

                  (b)   Immediately following the Corporate Transaction, this
option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed
by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the
Corporate Transaction.

                  (c)   If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after
such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise
Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

                  (d)   This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of
the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

            7.    ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. Should any change be made to the
Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be


                                       3.
<PAGE>   4
made to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option
and (ii) the Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude
a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

            8.    STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have
any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

            9.    MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

                  (a)   In order to exercise this option with respect to all or
any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable,
Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the
following actions:

                        (i)   Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of
      Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

                        (ii)  Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased
      shares in one or more of the following forms:

                              (A)   cash or check made payable to the
            Corporation;

                              (B)   a promissory note payable to the
            Corporation, but only to the extent authorized by the Plan
            Administrator in accordance with Paragraph 13;

                              (C)   shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or
            any other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite
            period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for
            financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the
            Exercise Date; or

                              (D)   to the extent the option is exercised for
            vested Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance
            procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons
            exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable
            written instructions (I) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm
            to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to
            the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the
            settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise
            Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal,
            state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld
            by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (II) to the
            Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
            shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale
            transaction.

                  Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is
            utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the
            Exercise Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise delivered to
            the Corporation in connection with the option exercise.

                        (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate
      documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other
      than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

                        (iv)  Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation
      (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the
      satisfaction of all Federal, state and local income and employment tax
      withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise.

                  (b)   As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the
Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or
persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares,
with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

                  (c)   In no event may this option be exercised for any
fractional shares.

            10.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

                  (a)   The exercise of this option and the issuance of the
Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the
Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating
thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq
National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for
trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

                  (b)   The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from
any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary
to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option
shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance
or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been
obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all
such approvals.

            11.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise
provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and
assigns and Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs
and legatees of Optionee's estate.

            12.   NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on the Grant Notice. All
notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

            13.   FINANCING. The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute
discretion and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the
Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a full-recourse
promissory note payable to the Corporation. The terms of any such promissory
note (including the interest rate, the requirements for collateral and the terms
of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion.

            14.   CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby
are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and
subject to the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with
respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

            15.   GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance and enforcement
of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California
without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

            16.   EXCESS SHARES. If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement
exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may
without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be
void with respect to those excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an
amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

            17.   ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO AN INCENTIVE OPTION. In the
event this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the
following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:

                        (i)   This option shall cease to qualify for favorable
      tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is
      exercised for one or more Option Shares: (A) more than three (3) months
      after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than
      death or Permanent Disability or (B) more than twelve (12) months after
      the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent
      Disability.


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
                        (ii)  No installment under this option shall qualify for
      favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) the
      aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common
      Stock for which such installment first becomes exercisable hereunder
      would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective
      date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which
      this option or any other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to
      the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the
      Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during
      the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in
      the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000)
      limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall
      nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar
      year as a Non-Statutory Option.

                        (iii) Should the exercisability of this option be
      accelerated upon a Corporate Transaction, then this option shall qualify
      for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option only to the extent the
      aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common
      Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in the calendar year
      in which the Corporate Transaction occurs does not, when added to the
      aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant)
      of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or one or
      more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date
      (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any
      Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar
      year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate.
      Should the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be
      exceeded in the calendar year of such Corporate Transaction, the option
      may nevertheless be exercised for the excess shares in such calendar year
      as a Non-Statutory Option.

                        (iv)  Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option,
      one or more other options to purchase Common Stock which become
      exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year as this option,
      then the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as
      Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such
      options are granted.

            18.   LEAVE OF ABSENCE. The following provisions shall apply upon
the Optionee's commencement of an authorized leave of absence:

                        (i)   The exercise schedule in effect under the Grant
      Notice shall be frozen as of the first day of the authorized leave, and
      this option shall not become exercisable for any additional installments
      of the


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
      Option Shares during the period Optionee remains on such leave.

                        (ii)  Should Optionee resume active Employee status
      within sixty (60) days after the start date of the authorized leave,
      Optionee shall, for purposes of the exercise schedule set forth in the
      Grant Notice, receive Service credit for the entire period of such leave.
      If Optionee does not resume active Employee status within such sixty
      (60)-day period, then no Service credit shall be given for the period of
      such leave.

                        (iii) If the option is designated as an Incentive Option
      in the Grant Notice, then the following additional provision shall apply:

                              (A)   If the leave of absence continues for more
            than three (3) months, then this option shall automatically convert
            to a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws at the end of
            such three (3)-month period, unless the Optionee's reemployment
            rights are guaranteed by statute or by written agreement. Following
            any such conversion of the option, all subsequent exercises of such
            option, whether effected before or after Optionee's return to active
            Employee status, shall result in an immediate taxable event, and the
            Corporation shall be required to collect from Optionee the Federal,
            state and local income and employment withholding taxes applicable
            to such exercise.

                        (iv)  In no event shall this option become exercisable
      for any additional Option Shares or otherwise remain outstanding if
      Optionee does not resume Employee status prior to the Expiration Date of
      the option term.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


        The following provisions are hereby incorporated into, and are hereby

Agreement") by and between Odwalla, Inc. (the "Corporation") and ("Optionee")
evidencing the stock option (the "Option") granted on to Optionee under the
terms of the Corporation's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, and such provisions shall
be effective immediately. All capitalized terms in this Addendum, to the extent
not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Option Agreement.

                        LIMITED STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT

        1. Optionee is hereby granted a limited stock appreciation right
exercisable upon the following terms and conditions:

                (i) Optionee shall have the unconditional right (exercisable at
        any time during the thirty (30)-day period immediately following a
        Hostile Take-Over) to surrender the Option to the Corporation, to the
        extent the Option is at the time exercisable for vested shares of Common
        Stock. In return for the surrendered Option, Optionee shall receive a
        cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess
        of (A) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock which are at
        the time vested under the surrendered Option (or surrendered portion)
        over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares.

                (ii) To exercise this limited stock appreciation right, Optionee
        must, during the applicable thirty (30)-day exercise period, provide the
        Corporation with written notice of the option surrender in which there
        is specified the number of Option Shares as to which the Option is being
        surrendered. Such notice must be accompanied by the return of Optionee's
        copy of the Option Agreement, together with any written amendments to
        such Agreement. The cash distribution shall be paid to Optionee within
        five (5) business days following such delivery date. The exercise of the
        limited stock appreciation right in accordance with the terms of this
        Addendum is hereby approved by the Plan Administrator in advance of such
        exercise. No further approval of the Plan Administrator shall be
        required at the time of the actual option surrender and cash
        distribution. Upon receipt of such cash distribution, the Option shall
        be cancelled with respect to the Option Shares for which the Option has
        been surrendered, and Optionee shall cease to have any further right to
        acquire those Option Shares under the Option Agreement.


<PAGE>   2
        The Option shall, however, remain outstanding and exercisable for the
        balance of the Option Shares (if any) in accordance with the terms of
        the Option Agreement, and the Corporation shall issue a new stock option
        agreement (substantially in the same form of the surrendered Option
        Agreement) for those remaining Option Shares.

                (iii) In no event may this limited stock appreciation right be
        exercised when there is not a positive spread between the Fair Market
        Value of the Option Shares and the aggregate Exercise Price payable for
        such shares. This limited stock appreciation right shall in all events
        terminate upon the expiration or sooner termination of the option term
        and may not be assigned or transferred by Optionee.

        2. For purposes of this Addendum, the following definitions shall be in
effect:

                (i) A HOSTILE TAKE-OVER shall be deemed to occur in the event
        any person or related group of persons (other than the Corporation or a
        person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is
        under common control with, the Corporation) directly or indirectly
        acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the
        Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities possessing
        more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
        Corporation's outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange
        offer made directly to the Corporation's stockholders which the Board
        does not recommend such stockholders to accept.

                (ii) The TAKE-OVER PRICE per share shall be deemed to be equal
        to the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value per Option Share on the
        option surrender date or (B) the highest reported price per share of
        Common Stock paid by the tender offeror in effecting the Hostile
        Take-Over. However, if the surrendered Option is designated as an
        Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, then the Take-Over Price shall not
        exceed the clause (A) price per share.

However, immediately upon an Involuntary Termination of Optionee's Service
within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control, the Option, to the
extent outstanding at the time but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall

Corporation) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities possessing more than
fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Corporation's
outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made directly to
the Corporation's stockholders which the Board does not recommend such
stockholders to accept, or

                (ii) a change in the composition of the Board over a period of
thirty-six (36) consecutive months or less such that a majority of the Board
members ceases, by reason of one or more contested elections for Board
membership, to be comprised of individuals who either (A) have been Board
members continuously since the

beginning of such period or (B) have been elected or nominated for election as
Board members during such period by at least a majority of the Board members
described in clause (A) who were still in office at the time such election or
nomination was approved by the Board.

        3. For purposes of this Addendum, an INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION shall mean
the termination of Optionee's Service by reason of:

                (i) Optionee's involuntary dismissal or discharge by the
Corporation for reasons other than Misconduct, or

                (ii) Optionee's voluntary resignation following (A) a change in
Optionee's position with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing
Optionee) which materially reduces Optionee's level of responsibility, (B) a
reduction in Optionee's level of compensation (including base salary, fringe
benefits and participation in any corporate-performance based bonus or incentive
programs) by more than fifteen percent (15%) or (C) a relocation of Optionee's
place of employment by more than fifty (50) miles, provided and only if such
change, reduction or relocation is effected by the Corporation without
Optionee's consent.

        4. The provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Addendum shall govern the
period for which the Option is to remain exercisable following the Involuntary
Termination of Optionee's Service within eighteen (18) months after the Change
in Control and shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in Paragraph 5 of
the Option Agreement.

executed by its duly-authorized officer, and Optionee has executed this
Addendum, all as of the Effective Date specified below.

                                  ODWALLA, INC.

                            STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT


            AGREEMENT made this _____ day of ___________________ 19____, by and
between Odwalla, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and
__________________________________________________, a Participant in the
Corporation's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.

            All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in this Agreement or in the attached Appendix.

      A.    PURCHASE OF SHARES

            1.    PURCHASE. Participant hereby purchases shares of Common Stock
(the "Purchased Shares") pursuant to the provisions of the Stock Issuance
Program at the purchase price of $______ per share (the "Purchase Price").

            2.    PAYMENT. Concurrently with the delivery of this Agreement to
the Corporation, Participant shall pay the Purchase Price for the Purchased
Shares in cash or check payable to the Corporation and shall deliver a
duly-executed blank Assignment Separate from Certificate (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit I) with respect to the Purchased Shares.

            3.    STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Until such time as the Corporation
exercises the Repurchase Right, Participant (or any successor in interest) shall
have all the rights of a stockholder (including voting, dividend and liquidation
rights) with respect to the Purchased Shares, subject, however, to the transfer
restrictions of this Agreement.

            4.    ESCROW. The Corporation shall have the right to hold the
Purchased Shares in escrow until those shares have vested in accordance with the
Vesting Schedule.

            5.    COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Under no circumstances shall shares of
Common Stock or other assets be issued or delivered to Participant pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement unless, in the opinion of counsel for the
Corporation or its successors, there shall have been compliance with all
applicable requirements of Federal and state securities laws, all applicable
listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable) on which the Common Stock is at the time listed for trading and all
other requirements of law or of any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over
such issuance and delivery.


<PAGE>   2
      B.    TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

            1.    RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Except for any Permitted Transfer,
Participant shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of
the Purchased Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right.

            2.    RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. The stock certificate for the Purchased
Shares shall be endorsed with the following restrictive legend:

                  "The shares represented by this certificate are unvested and
      subject to certain repurchase rights granted to the Corporation and
      accordingly may not be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, or in any
      manner disposed of except in conformity with the terms of a written
      agreement dated , 199 between the Corporation and the registered holder of
      the shares (or the predecessor in interest to the shares). A copy of such
      agreement is maintained at the Corporation's principal corporate offices."

            3.    TRANSFEREE OBLIGATIONS. Each person (other than the
Corporation) to whom the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of a
Permitted Transfer must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such
transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Corporation that such person is bound by
the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred shares are subject to
the Repurchase Right to the same extent such shares would be so subject if
retained by Participant.

      C.    REPURCHASE RIGHT

            1.    GRANT. The Corporation is hereby granted the right (the
"Repurchase Right"), exercisable at any time during the ninety (90)-day period
following the date Participant ceases for any reason to remain in Service, to
repurchase at the Purchase Price all or any portion of the Purchased Shares in
which Participant is not, at the time of his or her cessation of Service, vested
in accordance with the Vesting Schedule (such shares to be hereinafter referred
to as the "Unvested Shares").

            2.    EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Repurchase Right shall
be exercisable by written notice delivered to each Owner of the Unvested Shares
prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day exercise period. The notice shall
indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased and the date on which
the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days
after the date of such notice. The certificates representing the Unvested Shares
to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Corporation prior to the close of
business on the date specified for the repurchase. Concurrently with the receipt
of such stock certificates, the Corporation shall pay to Owner, in cash or cash
equivalent (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness), an
amount equal to the Purchase Price previously paid for the Unvested Shares to be
repurchased from Owner.

<PAGE>   3
            3.    TERMINATION OF THE REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Repurchase Right
shall terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not timely
exercised under Paragraph C.2. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate
and cease to be exercisable with respect to any and all Purchased Shares in
which Participant vests in accordance with the following Vesting Schedule:

                        (i)   Upon Participant's completion of one (1) year of
      Service measured from ______________, 199__, Participant shall acquire a
      vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to,
      twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchased Shares.

                        (ii)  Participant shall acquire a vested interest in,
      and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to, the remaining
      Purchased Shares in a series of thirty six (36) successive equal monthly
      installments upon Participant's completion of each additional month of
      Service over the thirty-six (36)-month period measured from the initial
      vesting date under subparagraph (i) above.

            4.    RECAPITALIZATION. Any new, substituted or additional
securities or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash
dividend) which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to
the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but
only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right.
Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution shall be made to the number
and/or class of securities subject to this Agreement and to the price per share
to be paid upon the exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the
effect of any such Recapitalization upon the Corporation's capital structure;
provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

            5.    CORPORATE TRANSACTION.

                  (a)   Immediately prior to the consummation of any Corporate
Transaction, the Repurchase Right shall automatically lapse in its entirety and
the Purchased Shares shall vest in full, except to the extent the Repurchase
Right is to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in
connection with the Corporate Transaction.

                  (b)   To the extent the Repurchase Right remains in effect
following a Corporate Transaction, such right shall apply to the new capital
stock or other property (including any cash payments) received in exchange for
the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, but only to
the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right.
Appropriate adjustments shall be made to the price per share payable upon
exercise of the Repurchase Right to reflect the effect of the Corporate
Transaction upon the Corporation's capital structure; provided, however, that
the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. The new securities or other
property


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
(including cash payments) issued or distributed with respect to the Purchased
Shares in consummation of the Corporate Transaction shall immediately be
deposited in escrow with the Corporation (or the successor entity) and shall not
be released from escrow until Participant vests in such securities or other
property in accordance with the same Vesting Schedule in effect for the
Purchased Shares.

                  (c)   The Repurchase Right may also be subject to termination
in whole or in part on an accelerated basis, and the Purchased Shares subject to
immediate vesting, in accordance with the terms of any special Addendum attached
to this Agreement.

      D.    SPECIAL TAX ELECTION

            1.    SECTION 83(B) ELECTION. Under Code Section 83, the excess of
the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date any forfeiture
restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the Purchase Price paid for
such shares will be reportable as ordinary income on the lapse date. For this
purpose, the term "forfeiture restrictions" includes the right of the
Corporation to repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right.
Participant may elect under Code Section 83(b) to be taxed at the time the
Purchased Shares are acquired, rather than when and as such Purchased Shares
cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions. Such election must be filed
with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of this
Agreement. Even if the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date of
this Agreement equals the Purchase Price paid (and thus no tax is payable), the
election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in the future. THE FORM
FOR MAKING THIS ELECTION IS ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT II HERETO. PARTICIPANT
UNDERSTANDS THAT FAILURE TO MAKE THIS FILING WITHIN THE APPLICABLE THIRTY
(30)-DAY PERIOD WILL RESULT IN THE RECOGNITION OF ORDINARY INCOME AS THE
FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS LAPSE.

            2.    FILING RESPONSIBILITY. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS
PARTICIPANT'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE CORPORATION'S, TO FILE A TIMELY
ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE CORPORATION
OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.

      E.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

            1.    ASSIGNMENT. The Corporation may assign the Repurchase Right to
any person or entity selected by the Board, including (without limitation) one
or more stockholders of the Corporation.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
            2.    NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE CONTRACT. Nothing in this Agreement
or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in Service
for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in
any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or
retaining Participant) or of Participant, which rights are hereby expressly
reserved by each, to terminate Participant's Service at any time for any reason,
with or without cause.

            3.    NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon
deposit in the U.S. mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid and properly
addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the address indicated below
such party's signature line on this Agreement or at such other address as such
party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice under this paragraph
to all other parties to this Agreement.

            4.    NO WAIVER. The failure of the Corporation in any instance to
exercise the Repurchase Right shall not constitute a waiver of any other
repurchase rights that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this
Agreement or any other agreement between the Corporation and Participant. No
waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or
different nature.

            5.    CANCELLATION OF SHARES. If the Corporation shall make
available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this
Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time,
the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any
rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of
such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such shares shall be
deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the
Corporation shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not
the certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

            6.    PARTICIPANT UNDERTAKING. Participant hereby agrees to take
whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the
Corporation may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one
or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Participant or the
Purchased Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

            7.    AGREEMENT IS ENTIRE CONTRACT. This Agreement constitutes the
entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement is made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and shall
in all respects be construed in conformity with the terms of the Plan.

            8.    GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without resort
to that State's conflict-


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
of-laws rules.

            9.    COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,

                        AUTOMATIC STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


RECITALS

      A.    Odwalla, Inc. has implemented an automatic option grant program
under the Corporation's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to which eligible
non-employee members of the Corporation's Board will automatically receive
special option grants at designated intervals over their period of Board service
in order to provide such individuals with a meaningful incentive to continue to
serve as a member of the Board.

      B.    Optionee is an eligible non-employee Board member, and this
Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of,
the Plan in connection with the automatic grant of a stock option to purchase
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock under the Plan.

      C.    The granted option is intended to be a non-statutory option which
does not meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

      D.    All capitalized terms in this Agreement, to the extent not otherwise
defined in the Agreement, shall have the meaning assigned to them in the
attached Appendix.

               NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

            1.    GRANT OF OPTION. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as
of the Grant Date, a Non-Statutory Option to purchase up to the number of Option
Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable
from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the
Exercise Price.

            2.    OPTION TERM. This option shall have a maximum term of ten (10)
years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5, 6 or 7.

            3.    LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. This option may, in connection with
the Optionee's estate plan, be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee's
lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's immediate family or to a trust
established for the exclusive benefit of one or more such family members. The
assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire
a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms
applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this
option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such
documents issued to the assignee as the Corporation may deem appropriate. Should
the Optionee die while holding this option, then this option shall be
transferred in accordance with Optionee's will or the laws of descent and
distribution.


<PAGE>   2
            4.    EXERCISABILITY/VESTING.

                  (a)   This option shall be immediately exercisable for any or
all of the Option Shares, whether or not the Option Shares are vested in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, and shall
remain so exercisable until the Expiration Date or the sooner termination of the
option term under Paragraph 5, 6 or 7.

                  (b)   Optionee shall, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule
set forth in the Grant Notice, vest in the Option Shares in a series of
installments over his or her period of Board service. Vesting in the Option
Shares may be accelerated pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5, 6 or 7. In
no event, however, shall any additional Option Shares vest following Optionee's
cessation of service as a Board member.

            5.    CESSATION OF BOARD SERVICE. Should Optionee's service as a
Board member cease while this option remains outstanding, then the option term
specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be
outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the following
provisions:

                        (i)   Should Optionee cease to serve as a Board member
      for any reason (other than death or Permanent Disability) while holding
      this option, then the period for exercising this option shall be reduced
      to a twelve (12)-month period commencing with the date of such cessation
      of Board service, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any
      time after the Expiration Date. During such limited period of
      exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more
      than the number of Option Shares (if any) in which Optionee is vested on
      the date of his or her cessation of Board service. Upon the earlier of (i)
      the expiration of such twelve (12)-month period or (ii) the specified
      Expiration Date, the option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable
      with respect to any vested Option Shares for which the option has not been
      exercised.

                        (ii)  Should Optionee die during the twelve (12)-month
      period following his or her cessation of Board service, then the personal
      representative of Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom the
      option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or in accordance with
      the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise this
      option for any or all of the Option Shares in which Optionee is vested at
      the time of Optionee's cessation of Board service (less any Option Shares
      purchased by Optionee after such cessation of Board service but prior to
      death). Such right of exercise shall terminate, and this option shall
      accordingly cease to be exercisable for those vested Option Shares, upon
      the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured
      from the date of Optionee's cessation of Board service or (ii) the
      specified Expiration Date of the option term.

<PAGE>   3
                        (iii) Should Optionee cease service as a Board member by
      reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all Option Shares at the
      time subject to this option but not otherwise vested shall immediately
      vest in full so that Optionee (or the personal representative of
      Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom the option is
      transferred upon Optionee's death) shall have the right to exercise this
      option for any or all of the Option Shares as fully-vested shares of
      Common Stock at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
      twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee's cessation of
      Board service or (ii) the specified Expiration Date.

                        (iv)  Upon Optionee's cessation of Board service for any
      reason other than death or Permanent Disability, this option shall
      immediately terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any and
      all Option Shares in which Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested
      in accordance with the normal Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant
      Notice or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6 or 7
      below.

            6.    CORPORATE TRANSACTION.

                  (a)   In the event of a Corporate Transaction, all Option
Shares at the time subject to this option but not otherwise vested shall
automatically vest so that this option shall, immediately prior to the specified
effective date for the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for all
of the Option Shares at the time subject to this option and may be exercised for
all or any portion of such shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.
Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, this option
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the
successor corporation or its parent company.

                  (b)   If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after
such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise
Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

            7.    CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER.

                  (a)   All Option Shares subject to this option at the time of
a Change in Control but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest so that
this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in
Control, become fully exercisable for all of the Option Shares at the time
subject to this option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such
shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. This option shall remain
exercisable for such fully-vested Option Shares until the earliest to occur of
(i) the


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
specified Expiration Date, (ii) the sooner termination of this option in
accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6 or (iii) the surrender of this option under
Paragraph 7(b).

                  (b)   Optionee shall have an unconditional right (exercisable
during the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the consummation of a
Hostile Take-Over) to surrender this option to the Corporation in exchange for a
cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i)
the Take-Over Price of the Option Shares at the time subject to the surrendered
option (whether or not those Option Shares are otherwise at the time vested)
over (ii) the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares. This Paragraph
7(b) limited stock appreciation right shall in all events terminate upon the
expiration or sooner termination of the option term and may not be assigned or
transferred by Optionee.

                  (c)   To exercise the Paragraph 7(b) limited stock
appreciation right, Optionee must, during the applicable thirty (30)-day
exercise period, provide the Corporation with written notice of the option
surrender in which there is specified the number of Option Shares as to which
the option is being surrendered. Such notice must be accompanied by the return
of Optionee's copy of this Agreement, together with any written amendments to
such Agreement. The cash distribution shall be paid to Optionee within five (5)
business days following such delivery date, and neither the approval of the Plan
Administrator nor the consent of the Board shall be required in connection with
such option surrender and cash distribution. Upon receipt of such cash
distribution, this option shall be cancelled with respect to the shares subject
to the surrendered option (or the surrendered portion), and Optionee shall cease
to have any further right to acquire those Option Shares under this Agreement.
The option shall, however, remain outstanding for the balance of the Option
Shares (if any) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement,
and the Corporation shall accordingly issue a new stock option agreement
(substantially in the same form as this Agreement) for those remaining Option
Shares.

            8.    ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. Should any change be made to the
Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the number and/or
class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in order
to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of
benefits hereunder; provided, however, that the aggregate Exercise Price shall
remain the same.

            9.    STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have
any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

            10.   MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

                  (a)   In order to exercise this option for all or any part of
the Option Shares for which the option is at the time exercisable, Optionee or,
in the case of exercise after Optionee's death, Optionee's executor,
administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be, must take the following
actions:

                        (i)   To the extent the option is exercised for vested
      Option Shares, the Secretary of the Corporation shall be provided with
      written notice of the option exercise (the "Exercise Notice") in
      substantially the form of Exhibit I attached hereto, in which there is
      specified the number of vested Option Shares to be purchased under the
      exercised option. To the extent that the option is exercised for one or
      more unvested Option Shares, Optionee (or other person exercising the
      option) shall deliver to the Secretary of the Corporation a Purchase
      Agreement for those unvested Option Shares.

                        (ii)  The Exercise Price for the purchased shares shall
      be paid in one or more of the following alternative forms:

                        -     cash or check made payable to the Corporation's
            order; or

                        -     shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any
            other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite
            period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for
            financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the
            Exercise Date; or

                        -     to the extent the option is exercised for vested
            Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure
            pursuant to which Optionee shall provide irrevocable written
            instructions (A) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to
            effect the immediate sale of the vested shares purchased under the
            option and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds
            available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the
            aggregate Exercise Price payable for those shares plus the
            applicable Federal, state and local income taxes required to be
            withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (B) to
            the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares
            directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.

                        (iii) Appropriate documentation evidencing the right to
      exercise this option shall be furnished the Corporation if the person or
      persons exercising the option is other than Optionee.


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
                        (iv)  Appropriate arrangement must be made with the
      Corporation for the satisfaction of all Federal, state and local income
      tax withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise.

                  (b)   Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure
specified above is utilized in connection with the exercise of the option for
vested Option Shares, payment of the Exercise Price for the purchased shares
must accompany the Exercise Notice or Purchase Agreement delivered to the
Corporation in connection with the option exercise.

                  (c)   As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the
Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or
persons exercising this option) a certificate or certificates representing the
purchased Option Shares. To the extent any such Option Shares are unvested, the
certificates for those Option Shares shall be endorsed with an appropriate
legend evidencing the Corporation's repurchase rights and may be held in escrow
with the Corporation until such shares vest.

                  (d)   In no event may this option be exercised for fractional
shares.

            11.   NO IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS. This Agreement shall not in any way
affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or
otherwise make changes in its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets. Nor shall this Agreement in any way be construed or
interpreted so as to affect adversely or otherwise impair the right of the
Corporation or the stockholders to remove Optionee from the Board at any time in
accordance with the provisions of applicable law.

            12.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

                  (a)   The exercise of this option and the issuance of the
Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the
Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating
thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq
National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for
trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

                  (b)   The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from
any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary
to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option
shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance
or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been
obtained. However, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to obtain all such
applicable approvals.

            13.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise
provided in Paragraph 3 or 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and
assigns and Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs
and legatees of Optionee's estate.

            14.   CONSTRUCTION/GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the option
evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the automatic option grant
program in effect under the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject
to the express terms and provisions of that program. The interpretation,
performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

            15.   NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
