                               MAPINFO CORPORATION
                                 One Global View
                                 Troy, NY 12180

                                 PROXY STATEMENT

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of MapInfo Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual
Meeting") to be held on Tuesday, March 7, 2000 and at any adjournments of the
Annual Meeting. All proxies will be voted in accordance with the stockholders'
instructions, and if no choice is specified, the proxies will be voted in favor
of the matters set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Any proxy may be
revoked by a stockholder at any time before its exercise by delivery of written
revocation or a subsequently dated proxy to the Secretary of the Company or by
voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

     At the close of business on January 10, 2000, the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the
"Record Date"), there were outstanding and entitled to vote an aggregate of
8,723,341 shares of common stock, $0.002 par value per share, of the Company
(the "Common Stock"). Stockholders are entitled to one vote per share.

     All share information contained in this proxy statement has been adjusted
to reflect the three-for-two stock split in the form of a stock dividend
effected by the Company on January 10, 2000.

     The Company's Annual Report to Stockholders and Form 10-K for fiscal 1999
were mailed to stockholders, along with these proxy materials, on or about
January 25, 2000.


VOTES REQUIRED

     The holders of a majority of the number of shares of Common Stock issued,
outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum
at the Annual Meeting. Shares of Common Stock present in person or represented
by proxy (including shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or
more of the matters presented for stockholder approval) will be counted for
purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

     Director nominees must receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual
Meeting, which means that a vote withheld from a particular nominee or nominees
will not affect the outcome of the election. The approval of the amendments to
the Company's 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and
1993 Director Stock Option Plan and the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
as the Company's independent accountants for the current fiscal year must be
approved by a majority of the votes cast on the matter.

     Shares that abstain from voting as to a particular matter will not be
counted as votes in favor of such matter, but will be counted as shares voting
on such matter. Accordingly, an abstention from voting on a matter has the same
effect as a vote against the matter. Shares held in street name by brokers or
nominees who indicate on their proxy that they do not have discretionary
authority to vote such shares as to a particular matter (a "broker non-vote")
will not be counted as votes in favor of such matter and will also not be
counted as shares voting on such matter. Accordingly, a broker non-vote on a
matter that requires the affirmative vote of a certain percentage of the shares
present and voting on the matter, such as the election of directors, the
approval of the amendments to the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1993 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan and the 1993 Director Stock Option Plan and the ratification
of independent accountants, has no effect on the voting on such matter.

                                      1

<PAGE>
     Stockholders may vote by any one of the following means:

     o    by mail
     o    by telephone (toll-free)
     o    over the Internet
     o    in person at the meeting

     To vote by mail, sign, date and complete the enclosed proxy card and return
it in the enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope. No postage is necessary if
mailed in the United States. Instructions for voting by using a toll-free
telephone number or over the Internet can be found on your proxy card. If you
hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, they will give you
separate instructions on voting your shares.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS

     The Company has a standing Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which
reviews the Company's internal accounting control policies and procedures,
considers and recommends the selection of the Company's independent accountants,
reviews and approves any major accounting policy changes affecting the Company's
operating results and provides the opportunity for direct contact between the
Company's independent accountants and the Board. The Audit Committee met two
times during fiscal 1999. The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Burton
and McNamee.

     The Company has a standing Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, which has the authority to provide recommendations to the Board
regarding compensation programs of the Company, administer the executive
compensation programs and grant stock options under the Company's 1993 Stock
Incentive Plan to all officers of the Company who are persons required to file
reports ("Reporting Persons") pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Compensation
Committee held one meeting during fiscal 1999, and acted by written consent one
time. The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Marvin, McNamee and
Perakis. Mr. Marvin does not vote on matters involving his own compensation. On
January 31, 1997, the Compensation Committee authorized a subcommittee which has
the authority to approve stock option grants to all members of the Company's
executive team (consisting of 13 individuals who are executive officers and
non-executive officers). The subcommittee of the Compensation Committee acted by
written consent two times. The members of this subcommittee are Messrs. McNamee
and Perakis.

     The Company does not have a nominating committee or committee serving a
similar function. Nominations are made by and through the full Board of
Directors.

     The Board of Directors met seven times during fiscal 1999 and acted by
written consent four times. Each current director attended at least 75% of the
aggregate of the total number of Board meetings and the total number of meetings
held by all committees of the Board on which he then served.


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Under the Company's 1993 Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Option
Plan"), each director who is not also an employee of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company receives on the date of each annual meeting of
stockholders a nonstatutory option to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock at
an exercise price which is equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant. Pursuant to the Director Option Plan, in fiscal 1999, Messrs.
Burton, McNamee and Perakis each received an option to purchase 7,500 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.208 per share. In addition, each
director who is not also an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     In September 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Marvin (the "Marvin Agreement"). Under the Marvin Agreement, as amended, Mr.
Marvin is employed by the Company as Chairman. The Marvin Agreement shall remain
in effect until Mr. Cavalier and the Board of Directors determine that Mr.
Marvin's services are no longer required, and the Company may terminate Mr.
Marvin's employment for "cause" (as defined in the Marvin Agreement) or in the
event of his disability. Under the Agreement, Mr. Marvin's annual salary is set
at $250,000, and he was granted an option to purchase 37,500 shares of Common
Stock. Effective February 1, 1998, Mr. Marvin unilaterally reduced his annual
salary to $125,000.

     In November 1998, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr.
Cavalier (the "Cavalier Agreement"). Under the Cavalier Agreement, Mr. Cavalier
is employed by the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer for a term
commencing November 1, 1998 and ending on November 1, 2001. Mr. Cavalier's base
salary is set at $275,000 and he is eligible to receive a bonus equal to
one-half of this annual base salary upon the achievement of certain Company and
individual objectives and an additional bonus upon the achievement of certain
additional objectives. Mr. Cavalier's base salary may be increased from time to
time, but if so increased may not be decreased without his consent, and his
bonus targets may be increased from time to time but shall not thereafter be
decreased below the initial incentive compensation plan of the new Agreement
except by written mutual agreement of the parties. In addition, under the
Cavalier Agreement, (i) Mr. Cavalier was granted an option to purchase 150,000
shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the Company has agreed to purchase such
additional medical, disability, life insurance and/or any other fringe benefit
programs of Mr. Cavalier's choosing, up to a maximum amount of $35,000 per year.
Mr. Cavalier's employment may be terminated prior to November 1, 2001 by the
Company in the event of Mr. Cavalier's death or disability or for "cause" (as
defined in the Cavalier Agreement) or by Mr. Cavalier upon (i) an uncured
material breach of the Cavalier Agreement by the Company, or (ii) a change in
control of the Company. In the event that, prior to November 1, 2001, Mr.
Cavalier's employment is terminated by the Company without cause (not including
by reason of death or disability), or in the event that Mr. Cavalier terminates
his employment with the Company upon an uncured breach of the Cavalier Agreement
by the Company, Mr. Cavalier would be entitled to one additional year of health
and dental benefits following the date of his termination and a lump sum payment
by the Company (the "Severance Payment") equal to the greater of (x) the sum of
all salary payments due to Mr. Cavalier through October 31, 2001 measured at Mr.
Cavalier's most recent base salary level, and (y) Mr. Cavalier's most recent
annual salary. Upon a change in control of the Company in which Mr. Cavalier is
not offered employment in a position equivalent to his present position, then
Mr. Cavalier would be entitled to the Severance Payment plus an additional lump
sum payment equal to the average monthly incentive compensation paid by the
Company to Mr. Cavalier during the most recent two years multiplied by the
number of months remaining in the contract term.

     In accordance with Mr. Cavalier's previous employment agreement, the
Company loaned to Mr. Cavalier $152,578, without interest, to assist with his
relocation. Such loan is to be forgiven in two equal installments, on each of
the first and second anniversaries of his permanent relocation, and,
accordingly, one-half of the loan was forgiven on July 1, 1998 and the second
half was forgiven on July 1, 1999.

     In June 1997, the Company loaned $100,000 to Mr. Cavalier pursuant to the
terms of an Unsecured Promissory Note (the "Note"). The loan bears interest at
71/8% per annum and is payable upon the earliest of (i) the termination of Mr.
Cavalier's employment either voluntarily, or by the Company for cause or because
of his death or disability, (ii) the sale of his residence or (iii) June 2,
2003. Amounts outstanding under the Note are offset by 25% of each bonus awarded
to Mr. Cavalier by the Company and the net proceeds resulting from the sale of
shares of Common Stock by Mr. Cavalier. The principal and interest payable under
the Note as of October 31, 1999 was $15,597.79.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     In April 1997, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
Gersuk (the "Gersuk Agreement"). Under the Gersuk Agreement, Mr. Gersuk is
employed by the Company as Chief Financial Officer for a term commencing on
April 1, 1997 and ending on March 31, 2000. Mr. Gersuk's base salary is set at
$209,000 and he is eligible to receive bonuses equal to 45% of his base salary,
upon the achievement of certain Company and individual objectives. Mr. Gersuk's
compensation is to be reviewed annually. In addition, Mr. Gersuk was granted an
option to purchase 36,000 shares of Common Stock under the Gersuk Agreement. Mr.
Gersuk's employment may be terminated by the Company prior to March 31, 2000,
for "cause," as defined in the Gersuk Agreement. In the event of a disability
which prohibits Mr. Gersuk from performing his duties for a continuous period of
three months, the Company may terminate the Gersuk Agreement, provided, however,
that Mr. Gersuk will continue to receive his salary, reduced by any amounts paid
under the Company's disability insurance policies. In the event that Mr.
Gersuk's employment is terminated for a reason other than cause, or of a change
in control of the Company pursuant to which Mr. Gersuk's responsibilities and/or
location are changed in a manner which he finds unacceptable (a "Termination
Event"), all of his then unvested options granted pursuant to the Gersuk
Agreement will vest, all health insurance benefits shall continue for one year
or until Mr. Gersuk procures health insurance through other employment and Mr.
Gersuk will receive (i) his salary due for the remainder of the term of the
Gersuk Agreement, if the Termination Event occurs within the first two years of
the term, or (ii) the greater of $200,000 or the remainder of his salary due
under the Gersuk Agreement, if the Termination Event occurs during the third
year of the Agreement.

     In October 1996, the Company loaned $200,000 to Mr. Gersuk in connection
with the purchase of a home in the Capital District of New York (the "Loan").
The Loan bears interest at 5% per annum. Under the terms of the Loan, $50,000
was repaid upon the sale of Mr. Gersuk's previous residence and the remainder is
due upon the earliest of (i) 90 days after termination of Mr. Gersuk's
employment, for any reason, (ii) October 21, 2002 and (iii) the sale of certain
property by Mr. Gersuk. Amounts outstanding under the Loan are offset by the net
proceeds resulting from the sale of shares of Common Stock by Mr. Gersuk.
Principal and interest payable under the Loan as of October 31, 1999 was
$176,384.

     Mr. Cattini's annual salary is $146,000, and he is eligible to receive
incentive compensation of up to $211,000 upon the achievement of certain company
objectives and up to an additional $21,600 based upon the achievement of certain
individual objectives. Additionally, in November 1998 Mr. Cattini was granted a
stock option for 15,000 shares.

     Mr. Moon's  annual  salary is $125,000,  and he is eligible to receive
bonuses of up to $55,100 upon the  achievement  of certain company and
individual objectives. Additionally, in November 1998 Mr. Moon was granted a
stock option for 7,500 shares.


SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Based solely on its review of copies of reports filed by Reporting Persons
of the Company pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or written
representations from certain Reporting Persons that no Form 5 filing was
required for such persons, the Company believes that during fiscal 1999 all
filings required to be made by its Reporting Persons were timely made in
accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     Messrs.  Marvin,  McNamee and Perakis each served as a member of the
Compensation  Committee during fiscal 1999. Mr. Marvin serves as the Chairman of
the Board of the Company and  previously  served at various  times as the Chief
Executive  Officer and President of the Company. See "Election of Directors."

<PAGE>
           REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Company's executive compensation program is administered by the
Compensation Committee. The Company's executive compensation program, consisting
of base salaries, bonus awards and stock option grants, is designed to attract,
retain and reward executives who are responsible for leading the Company in
achieving its business objectives. The Compensation Committee establishes the
compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. All decisions regarding the
compensation of other executive officers were reviewed with the Compensation
Committee and then by the full board.


   Compensation Philosophy

     The Company's executive compensation philosophy is based on the belief that
competitive compensation is essential to attract, motivate and retain highly
qualified employees. The Company's policy is to provide total compensation that
is competitive for comparable work and comparable corporate performance. The
compensation program includes both motivational and retention-related
compensation components. Bonuses are included to encourage effective performance
relative to current plans and objectives. Stock options are included to help
retain productive people and to more closely align their interests with those of
stockholders.

     In executing its compensation policy, the Company seeks to relate
compensation with the Company's financial performance and business objectives,
reward high levels of individual performance and tie a significant portion of
total executive compensation to the performance of the Company. While
compensation survey data are useful guides for comparative purposes, the Company
believes that a successful compensation program also requires the application of
judgment and subjective determinations of individual performance, and the
Compensation Committee applies judgment in reconciling the program's objectives
with the realities of retaining valued employees.


   Executive Compensation Program

     Annual compensation for the Company's executives consists of three
principal elements--base salary, cash bonus awards and stock options.


BASE SALARY

     In setting the annual cash compensation for Company executives, the
Compensation Committee reviews compensation for comparable positions in a group
of software companies selected by the Committee for comparison purposes.
Software industry compensation surveys and outside compensation consulting firms
are used as well. The Company also regularly compares its pay practices with
other software companies through review of survey and proxy data.

     Increases in annual base salary are based on a review and evaluation of the
performance of the operation or activity for which the executive has
responsibility, the impact of that operation or activity on the Company and the
skills and experience required for the job, coupled with a comparison of these
elements with similar elements for other executives both within and outside the
Company.


CASH BONUS AWARDS

     The cash bonus awards for each executive are tied to financial and other
performance objectives and targets, fixed by the Board of Directors for the
Chief Executive Officer, and by the Chief Executive Officer for the other

                                       10
<PAGE>
executive officers. During fiscal 1999, bonus awards were based principally on
the Company's achievement of its goals relating to earnings per share. In
addition, the Chief Executive Officer set personal objectives for the other
executive officers, except for the Chairman of the Board, and made a subjective
determination of the extent to which such personal objectives were achieved by
each executive during fiscal 1999.


EQUITY OWNERSHIP

     Total compensation at the executive level also includes long-term
incentives afforded by stock options. The purpose of the Company's stock option
program is to (i) reinforce the mutuality of long-term interests between
employees and the stockholders and (ii) assist in the attraction and retention
of executives, key managers and individual contributors who are essential to the
Company's success.

     The Company's stock option program includes multi-year vesting periods to
optimize the retention value of these options and to orient the Company's
executives and managers to longer-term success. Generally, all stock options
granted prior to July 1996 vest over a five-year period following the date of
grant. In July 1996, the Board of Directors approved a change in the vesting
period for all options granted under the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan subsequent to
that date, from five years to equal vesting over a four-year period following
the date of grant. If employees leave the Company before the options vest, they
forfeit the unvested portions of these awards. The size of the stock option
awards is generally intended to reflect the significance of the recipient's then
current and anticipated contributions to the Company. Since the Company's
initial public offering in February 1994, the exercise price of options granted
by the Company has been 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of
grant. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan, which is available
to all of its full-time employees, including executives but exclusive of any
employee who owns, or would own after purchase under this plan, 5% or more of
the total combined voting power or value of the stock of the Company or of any
subsidiary. Such plan generally permits employees to purchase shares at a
discount of 15% from the lesser of the fair market value at the beginning or end
of an offering period.

     In fiscal 1999, pursuant to the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, Mr. Cavalier,
the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, received an option to
purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.33 per share;
Mr. Cattini, the Company's Vice President, Sales--Americas/Europe, received an
option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.33
per share; and Mr. Moon, the Company's Vice President of Engineering, received
an option to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$10.00 per share.


CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER FISCAL 1999 CASH COMPENSATION

     Mr. Cavalier served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company during fiscal
1999. The Compensation Committee set Mr. Cavalier's base salary for fiscal 1999
at $275,000, which was considered to be a salary level competitive with that of
comparable companies. Mr. Cavalier was also awarded a bonus of $275,002 for
fiscal 1999 based upon the achievement of certain objectives. These objectives
generally related to the Company achieving its targeted revenue and profit goals
for the year, as well as meeting investors' expectations regarding earnings per
share.


   Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code") generally
disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million
paid to its chief executive officer and its four other most highly compensated

                                       11

executive officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation will not be
subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Company may
structure its stock options granted to executive officers in a manner that
complies with the performance-based requirements of the statute and does not
intend to exceed the annual limit for deductibility under Section 162(m) with
respect to any executive.

      PROPOSAL NO. 2 -- APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 1993 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

     The Board of Directors believes that the continued growth and profitability
of the Company depends, in large part, upon the ability of the Company to
maintain a competitive position in attracting and retaining key personnel. As of
October 31, 1999, 42,583 shares were available for future Awards (as defined
below) under the Company's 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan").
Accordingly, on November 23, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to
shareholder approval, an amendment to the 1993 Plan that increased from
2,437,500 to 2,887,500 the number of shares of Common Stock available for
issuance under the 1993 Plan (subject to a proportionate adjustment for certain
changes in the Company's capitalization, such as a stock split).

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT TO THE 1993 PLAN.

     The following is a brief summary of the provisions of the 1993 Plan.

     The 1993 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options,
nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and
awards of restricted stock and unrestricted stock ("Awards"). Currently, an
aggregate of 2,437,500 shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to the 1993
Plan. The 1993 Plan provides that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
with respect to which options may be granted to any employee may not exceed
300,000 during any calendar year. No Award may be made under the 1993 Plan after
November 23, 2003, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.
The 1993 Plan contains provisions relating to the disposition of Awards in the
event of certain mergers, acquisitions and other extraordinary corporate
transactions involving the Company.

     The 1993 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company and
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board has the
authority to adopt, amend and repeal the administrative rules, guidelines and
practices relating to the 1993 Plan, to interpret the provisions of the 1993
Plan and to terminate the 1993 Plan. The Board also has the authority to grant
Awards under the 1993 Plan and to accelerate, waive or amend certain provisions
of outstanding Awards. Pursuant to the terms of the 1993 Plan, the Board has
appointed the Compensation Committee to administer certain aspects of the 1993
Plan, and the Compensation Committee has appointed a subcommittee to authorize
the grant of options to Reporting Persons and other members of the executive
team. No amendment to the 1993 Plan may be made without shareholder approval if
such approval is necessary to comply with any applicable tax or regulatory
requirement, including any requirements for compliance with Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act ("Rule 16b-3").


   Description of Awards under the 1993 Plan

     Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Options. Optionees receive the
right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock at an option
price and subject to such terms and conditions as are specified at the time of
the grant. Incentive stock options and options that the Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee intend to qualify as performance-based compensation under
Section 162(m) of the Code may not be granted at an exercise price less than the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (or less than 110% of
the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to
optionees holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company). All other
options may be granted at an exercise price that may be less than, equal to or
greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

                                       14
<PAGE>

     Stock Appreciation Rights and Performance Shares. A stock appreciation
right is the right to receive any excess in value of shares of Common Stock over
the exercise price awarded to a participant. A performance share award entitles
the recipient to acquire shares of Common Stock upon the attainment of specified
performance goals.

     Restricted and Unrestricted Stock. Restricted stock awards entitle
recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock, subject to the right of the
Company to repurchase all or part of such shares at their purchase price from
the recipient in the event that the conditions specified in the applicable stock
award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period
established for such award. The Company may also grant (or sell at a purchase
price not less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of such sale) to
participants shares of Common Stock free of any restrictions under the 1993
Plan.

     All of the employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the
Company and its subsidiaries who are expected to contribute to the Company's
future growth and success, other than persons who have irrevocably elected not
to be eligible, are eligible to participate in the 1993 Plan. Incentive stock
options, however, may only be granted to persons eligible to receive incentive
stock options under the Code. As of October 31, 1999, approximately 482
employees, including officers of the Company were eligible to receive Awards
under the 1993 Plan. As of January 10, 2000, the market value of the Company's
Common Stock was $25.92 per share.

     The granting of Awards under the 1993 Plan is discretionary, and the
Company cannot now determine the number or type of Awards to be granted in the
future to any particular person or group. Since the adoption of the 1993 Stock
Incentive Plan, the following persons and groups received options to purchase
the number of shares listed: Mr. Cavalier, the Company's President and Chief
Executive Officer -- 450,000 shares; Mr. Gersuk, the Company's Executive Vice
President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer -- 150,000 shares; Mr. Cattini,
the Company's Vice President, Sales -- North America/Europe - 108,750 shares;
Mr. Moon, the Company's Vice President, Engineering -- 75,000 shares; Mr. James
Perakis, a Director of the Company -- 2,449 shares; Mr. Michael Marvin, the
Company's Chairman -- 37,500 shares; all current executive officers as a group
- -- 821,250 shares. Mr. Haller has declined to receive stock options from the
1993 Stock Incentive Plan. No other nominee for director, and no associate of
any of such directors, executive officers or nominees, has received any options
under the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. No person other than Mr. Cavalier and Mr.
Gersuk has received options to purchase greater than 5% of the shares issued
under this plan. Current employees of the Company, including executive officers,
have received options to purchase an aggregate of 2,184,146 shares under this
plan.


   Federal Income Tax Consequences

     Incentive Stock Options. In general, a participant will not recognize
taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. Instead,
a participant will recognize taxable income with respect to an incentive stock
option only upon the sale of Common Stock acquired through the exercise of the
option ("ISO Stock"). The exercise of an incentive stock option, however, may
subject the participant to the alternative minimum tax.

     Generally, the tax consequences of selling ISO Stock will vary with the
length of time that the participant has owned the ISO Stock at the time it is
sold. If the participant sells ISO Stock after having owned it for at least two
years from the date the option was granted (the "Grant Date") and one year from
the date the option was exercised (the "Exercise Date"), then the participant
will recognize long-term capital gain in an amount equal to the excess of the
sale price of the ISO Stock over the exercise price.

                                       15
<PAGE>

     If the participant sells ISO Stock for more than the exercise price prior
to having owned it for at least two years from the Grant Date and one year from
the Exercise Date (a "Disqualifying Disposition"), then all or a portion of the
gain recognized by the participant will be ordinary compensation income and the
remaining gain, if any, will be a capital gain. This capital gain will be a
long-term capital gain if the participant has held the ISO Stock for more than
one year prior to the date of sale.

     If a participant sells ISO Stock for less than the exercise price, then the
participant will recognize capital loss equal to the excess of the exercise
price over the sale price of the ISO Stock. This capital loss will be a
long-term capital loss if the participant has held the ISO Stock for more than
one year prior to the date of sale.

     Nonstatutory Stock Options. As in the case of an incentive stock option, a
participant will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of a nonstatutory
stock option. Unlike the case of an incentive stock option, however, a
participant who exercises a nonstatutory stock option generally will recognize
ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market
value of the Common Stock acquired through the exercise of the option ("NSO
Stock") on the Exercise Date over the exercise price.

     With respect to any NSO Stock, a participant will have a tax basis equal to
the exercise price plus any income recognized upon the exercise of the option.
Upon selling NSO Stock, a participant generally will recognize capital gain or
loss in an amount equal to the excess of the sale price of the NSO Stock over
the participant's tax basis in the NSO Stock. This capital gain or loss will be
a long-term gain or loss if the participant has held the NSO Stock for more than
one year prior to the date of the sale.

     Stock Appreciation Rights. A participant will not recognize taxable income
upon the grant of a stock appreciation right under the 1993 Plan. Instead, a
participant generally will recognize as ordinary compensation income any cash
delivered and the fair market value of any Common Stock delivered in payment of
an amount due under a stock appreciation right.

     Upon selling any Common Stock received by a participant in payment of an
amount due under a stock appreciation right, the participant generally will
recognize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between
the sale price of the Common Stock and the participant's tax basis in the Common
Stock. This capital gain or loss will be a long-term gain or loss if the
participant has held the Common Stock for more than one year prior to the date
of the sale.

     Performance Shares. A participant will not recognize taxable income upon
the grant of a performance share Award under the 1993 Plan. Instead, a
participant generally will recognize as ordinary compensation income the fair
market value of any Common Stock delivered in accordance with the terms of the
performance share Award.

     Upon selling any Common Stock received by a participant under the terms of
a performance share Award, the participant generally will recognize a capital
gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the sale price of the
Common Stock and the participant's tax basis in the Common Stock. This capital
gain or loss will be a long-term gain or loss if the participant has held the
Common Stock for more than one year prior to the date of the sale.

     Restricted Stock. A participant will not recognize taxable income upon the
grant of a restricted stock Award, unless the participant makes an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code (a "Section 83(b) Election"). If the participant
makes a Section 83(b) Election within 30 days of the date of the grant, then the

                                       16
<PAGE>
participant will recognize ordinary compensation income, for the year in which
the Award is granted, in an amount equal to the difference between the fair
market value of the Common Stock at the time the Award is granted and the
purchase price paid for the Common Stock. If a Section 83(b) Election is not
made, then the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income, at the
time that the forfeiture provisions or restrictions on transfer lapse, in an
amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock
at the time of such lapse and the original purchase price paid for the Common
Stock. The participant will have a tax basis in the Common Stock acquired equal
to the sum of the price paid and the amount of ordinary compensation income
recognized.

     Upon the disposition of the Common Stock acquired pursuant to a restricted
stock Award, the participant will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the
difference between the sale price of the Common Stock and the participant's tax
basis in the Common Stock. The gain or loss will be a long-term gain or loss if
the shares are held for more than one year. For this purpose, the holding period
shall begin just after the date on which the forfeiture provisions or
restrictions lapse if a Section 83(b) Election is not made, or just after the
Award is granted if a Section 83(b) Election is made.

     Tax Consequences to the Company. The grant of an Award under the 1993 Plan
will have no tax consequences to the Company. Moreover, in general, neither the
exercise of an incentive stock option nor the sale of any Common Stock acquired
under the 1993 Plan will have any tax consequences to the Company. The Company
generally will be entitled to a business-expense deduction, however, with
respect to any ordinary compensation income recognized by a participant under
the 1993 Plan, including as a result of the exercise of a nonstatutory stock
option, a Disqualifying Disposition, or a Section 83(b) Election. Any such
deduction will be subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.


                 PROPOSAL NO. 3 -- APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 1993
                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

     The Board of Directors believes that the continued growth and profitability
of the Company depends, in large part, upon the ability of the Company to
maintain a competitive position in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
As of October 31, 1999, 162,827 shares were available for future purchases under
the Company's 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1993 Stock Purchase
Plan"). Accordingly, on November 23, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted,
subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan
that increased from 600,000 to 675,000 the number of shares of Common Stock
available for purchase by employees under the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT TO THE 1993 STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.

     The following is a brief summary of the provisions of the 1993 Stock
Purchase Plan.

     The 1993 Stock Purchase Plan provides eligible employees of the Company
with opportunities to purchase shares of Common Stock at a discounted price. The
1993 Stock Purchase Plan is implemented through offerings, each approximately
six months in length. The Board may specify a shorter period, or a longer period
of less than twelve months.

     Each employee of the Company and its eligible subsidiaries, including an
officer or director who is also an employee, is eligible to participate in the
1993 Stock Purchase Plan, provided he or she (i) is employed by the Company or
any eligible subsidiary on the applicable offering commencement date, (ii) is

                                       17
<PAGE>
regularly employed by the Company or any eligible subsidiary for 20 or more
hours per week and for more than five months in a calendar year and (iii) has
been employed by the Company or any eligible subsidiary for at least three
months (or such period as may be determined by the Board or the Compensation
Committee) prior to enrolling in the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan. An employee may
elect to have a whole number percentage from 1% to up to 10% withheld from his
or her base pay for purposes of purchasing shares under the 1993 Stock Purchase
Plan, subject to certain limitations on the maximum number of shares that may be
purchased. The price at which shares may be purchased during each offering will
be the lower of (i) 85% of the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on
the Nasdaq National Market on the date that the offering commences or (ii) 85%
of the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market on the date that the offering terminates.

     The 1993 Stock Purchase Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of
the Company and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board
and the Compensation Committee have the authority to make rules and regulations
for the administration of the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan. The Board may at any
time terminate or amend the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan, provided that no such
amendment may be made without prior approval of the stockholders of the Company
if such approval is required by Rule 16b-3 or Section 423 of the Code, and in no
event may any amendment be made which would cause the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan
to fail to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder or Section 423 of the Code. The 1993 Stock Purchase Plan contains
provisions relating to the disposition of options in the event of certain
mergers, acquisitions and other extraordinary corporate transactions involving
the Company.

     As of October 31, 1999, approximately 459 employees were eligible to
participate in the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan.

     The purchase of shares under the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan is discretionary,
and the Company cannot now determine the number of shares to be purchased in the
future by any particular person or group. Since the adoption of the 1993 Stock
Purchase Plan, the following persons and groups have purchased the number of
shares listed: Mr. Cavalier, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
- -- 0 shares; Mr. Gersuk, the Company's Executive Vice President, Treasurer and
Chief Financial Officer -- 15,404 shares; Mr. Cattini, the Company's Vice
President, Sales -- North America/Europe -- 11,075 shares; Mr. Moon, the
Company's Vice President, Engineering -- 189 shares; Mr. Haller -- 0 shares; Mr.
Marvin, the Company's Chairman -- 12,801 shares; all current executive officers
as a group -- 39,468 shares. No other nominee for director, and no associate of
any of such directors, executive officers or nominees, has purchased any shares
under the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan. No person has purchased greater than 5% of
the shares issued under this plan. Current employees of the Company have
purchased an aggregate of 397,706 shares under this plan.


   Federal Income Tax Consequences

     Tax Consequences to Participants. In general, a participant will not
recognize taxable income upon enrolling in the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan or upon
purchasing shares of Common Stock at the end of an offering. Instead, if a
participant sells Common Stock acquired under the 1993 Stock Purchase Plan at a
sale price that exceeds the price at which the participant purchased the Common
Stock, then the participant will recognize taxable income in an amount equal to
the excess of the sale price of the Common Stock over the price at which the
participant purchased the Common Stock. A portion of that taxable income will be
ordinary income, and a portion may be capital gain.

     If the participant sells the Common Stock more than two years after the
date on which the offering commenced (the "Grant Date"), then the participant
will be taxed as follows. If the sale price of the Common Stock is higher than

                                       18
<PAGE>
the price at which the participant purchased the Common Stock, then the
participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to
the lesser of:

     (i)  the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the Grant
          Date over the price at which the participant purchased the Common
          Stock; and

     (ii) the excess of the sale price of the Common Stock over the price at
          which the participant purchased the Common Stock.

     Any further income will be long-term capital gain. If the sale price of the
Common Stock is less than the price at which the participant purchased the
Common Stock, then the participant will recognize long-term capital loss in an
amount equal to the excess of the price at which the participant purchased the
Common Stock over the sale price of the Common Stock.

     If the participant sells the Common Stock within one year after acquiring
it or within two years after the Grant Date (a "Disqualifying Disposition"),
then the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount
equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
that it was purchased over the price at which the participant purchased the
Common Stock. The participant will also recognize capital gain in an amount
equal to the excess of the sale price of the Common Stock over the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date that it was purchased, or capital loss in
an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date that it was purchased over the sale price of the Common Stock. This
capital gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the participant
has held the Common Stock for more than one year prior to the date of the sale
and will be a short-term capital gain or loss if the participant has held the
Common Stock for a shorter period.

     Tax Consequences to the Company. The offering of Common Stock under the
1993 Stock Purchase Plan will have no tax consequences to the Company. Moreover,
in general, neither the purchase nor the sale of Common Stock acquired under the
1993 Stock Purchase Plan will have any tax consequences to the Company except
that the Company will be entitled to a business-expense deduction with respect
to any ordinary compensation income recognized by a participant upon making a
Disqualifying Disposition. Any such deduction will be subject to the limitations
of Section 162(m) of the Code.


   PROPOSAL NO. 4 -- APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 1993 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Board of Directors believes that the continued growth and profitability
of the Company depends upon the ability of the Company to attract and retain
highly qualified non-employee directors. The Company's 1993 Director Stock
Option Plan (the "Director Option Plan") authorizes an annual option grant to
purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock at an option exercise price equal to the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. On November 23,
1999, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an
amendment to the Director Option Plan that increased from 120,000 to 165,000 the
number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Director
Option Plan (subject to proportionate adjustment for certain changes in the
Company's capitalization, such as a stock split).

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT TO THE DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN.

                                       19
<PAGE>

     The following is a brief summary of the provisions of the Director Option
Plan.

     Each director who is not also an employee of the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company receives on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders a
nonstatutory option to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Each option vests nine years and nine months after the date of grant, provided,
however, that such option becomes exercisable one year after the date of grant
if the director has during that year attended at least 75% of the aggregate of
the number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the number of meetings held
by all committees on which the director then served. The amendment to the
Director Option Plan submitted to the stockholders for approval will increase
the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Director Option Plan from
120,000 to 165,000 shares of Common Stock. As of October 31, 1999, options to
purchase 88,527 shares of the Company's Common Stock were outstanding under the
Director Option Plan, options to purchase 2,727 shares had been exercised and
28,746 shares were available for grant under the Plan.

     In the event an optionee ceases to serve as a director, each option granted
under the Director Option Plan may be exercised by the optionee at any time
within 12 months after the date of cessation of service to the extent such
option was exercisable at the time of such cessation of service. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no option is exercisable after the expiration of ten years from
the date of grant. Unless otherwise provided in the option agreement, an option
granted under the Director Option Plan is nontransferable otherwise than by the
laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
optionee only by such optionee. The Director Option Plan contains provisions
relating to the disposition of options in the event of certain mergers,
acquisitions and other extraordinary corporate transactions involving the
Company.

     The Director Option Plan is administered by the Company's Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors may, at any time, modify, terminate, or amend
the Plan in any respect, except that if at any time the approval of the
stockholders of the Company is required as to such modification or amendment
under any applicable tax or regulatory requirement, such approval must be
obtained.

   Federal Income Tax Consequences

     Nonstatutory Stock Options. A participant will not recognize taxable income
upon the grant of a nonstatutory stock option. However, a participant who
exercises a nonstatutory stock option generally will recognize ordinary
compensation income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of
the Common Stock acquired through the exercise of the option ("NSO Stock") on
the Exercise Date over the exercise price.

     With respect to any NSO Stock, a participant will have a tax basis equal to
the exercise price plus any income recognized upon the exercise of the option.
Upon selling NSO Stock, a participant generally will recognize capital gain or
loss in an amount equal to the excess of the sale price of the NSO Stock over
the participant's tax basis in the NSO Stock. This capital gain or loss will be
a long-term gain or loss if the participant has held the NSO Stock for more than
one year prior to the date of the sale, and will be a short-term capital gain or
loss if the participant has held the NSO Stock for a shorter period.

     Tax Consequences to the Company. The grant of an option under the Director
Option Plan will have no tax consequences to the Company. The Company generally
will be entitled to a business-expense deduction with respect to any ordinary
compensation income recognized by a participant upon the exercise of an option
under the Director Option Plan.


     PROPOSAL NO. 5 -- RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

     The Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has
selected the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent
accountants for the current fiscal year. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (previously
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.) has served as the Company's independent accountants
since inception. Although stockholder approval of the Board of Directors'
selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not required by law, the Board of
Directors believes that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to
ratify this selection. If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting,
the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at
the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they
desire to do so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions
from stockholders.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE
APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT
ACCOUNTANTS.


                              STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

     Proposals of stockholders made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 of the
Exchange Act and intended to be presented at the 2001 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders must be received by the Company at its principal office in Troy,
New York no later than September 27, 2000 for inclusion in the proxy statement
for that meeting. In addition, the Company's By-laws require that the Company be
given advance notice of stockholder nominations for election to the Company's
Board of Directors and of other matters which stockholders wish to present for
action at an annual meeting of stockholders (other than matters included in the
Company's proxy statement in accordance with Rule 14a-8). The required notice
must be made in writing, include the information required by the By-Laws, be
delivered or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
Secretary of the Company at the principal offices of the Company, and be
received not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the 2000 Annual
Meeting; provided, however, that if less than 70 days notice or prior public
disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders, such nomination
or other proposal shall have been mailed or delivered to the Secretary not later
than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which the
notice of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure made, whichever
occurs first. While the Company has not yet set the date of the 2001 Annual
Meeting, assuming it was held on March 7, 2001 (the same day as this year's
meeting), notice of a stockholder proposal or director nomination would need to
be made no earlier than December 7, 2000 and no later than January 6, 2001. Any
stockholder proposal must also comply with the other applicable provisions of
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and the Exchange Act. No
stockholder proposal is required to be considered unless it is presented in
accordance with the foregoing requirements.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

     The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters which may come
before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented
to the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the
accompanying proxy to vote, or otherwise act, in accordance with their judgment
on such matters. All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the
Company. In addition to solicitations by mail, the Company's directors, officers
and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by
telephone, email, telecopy and personal interviews, and the Company reserves the
right to retain outside agencies for the purpose of soliciting proxies. Brokers,
custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy soliciting
material to the owners of stock held in their names, and, as required by law,
the Company will reimburse them for their out-of-pocket expenses in this regard.

                                             By Order of the Board of Directors,

                                               /S/ MIRIAM N. NETTER

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HOPES THAT STOCKHOLDERS WILL ATTEND THE MEETING.

RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY IN THE ACCOMPANYING ENVELOPE. ALTERNATIVELY, PLEASE
VOTE OVER THE INTERNET OR BY TELEPHONE BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE
ENCLOSED PROXY CARD. PROMPT RESPONSE WILL GREATLY FACILITATE ARRANGEMENTS FOR
THE ANNUAL MEETING AND YOUR COOPERATION WILL BE APPRECIATED. STOCKHOLDERS WHO
ATTEND THE MEETING MAY VOTE THEIR STOCK PERSONALLY EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE SENT IN
THEIR PROXIES.

Section 5.  Stock Available for Awards

         (a) Subject to adjustment under subsection (b) below, Awards may be
made under the Plan for up to 400,000 shares of Common Stock. If any Award in
respect of shares of Common Stock expires or is terminated unexercised or is
forfeited for any reason or settled in a manner that results in fewer shares
outstanding than were initially awarded, the shares subject to such Award or so
surrendered, as the case may be, to the extent of such expiration, termination,
forfeiture or decrease, shall again be available for award under the Plan,
subject, however, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, to any limitation
required under the Code. Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in
part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or other
similar transaction affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required

available under the Plan, then the Board, subject, in the case of Incentive
Stock Options, to any limitation required under the Code, shall equitably adjust
any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares in respect of which Awards may
be made under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares subject to

and stock based awards held by employees of another corporation who concurrently
become employees of the Company as a result of a merger or consolidation of the
employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by the
Company or a subsidiary of property or stock of the employing corporation. The
substitute Awards shall be granted on such terms and conditions as the Board
considers appropriate in the circumstances. The shares which may be delivered
under such substitute Awards shall be in addition to the maximum number of
shares provided for in Section 5(a) only to the extent that the substitute
Awards are both (i) granted to persons whose relationship to the Company does
not make (and is not expected to make) them Reporting Persons; and (ii) granted
in substitution for awards issued under a plan approved, to the extent then
required under Rule 16b-3, by the stockholders of the entity which issued such
predecessor awards.

Section 6.  Stock Options

         (a)      General.

                  (i) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board may award
Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options, and determine the number
of shares to be covered by each Option, the option price therefor and the
conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option. The terms
and conditions of Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to and comply with
Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision, and any regulations
thereunder.

                  (ii) The Board shall establish the exercise price at the time
each Option is awarded. In the case of Incentive Stock Options, such price shall
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date
of award.

                  (iii) Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and
subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable
Award or thereafter. The Board may impose such conditions with respect to the
exercise of Options, including conditions relating to applicable federal or
state securities laws, as it considers necessary or advisable.

                  (iv) Options granted under the Plan may provide for the
payment of the exercise price by delivery of cash or check in an amount equal to
the exercise price of such Options or, to the extent permitted by the Board at
or after the award of the Option, by (A) delivery of shares of Common Stock of
the Company owned by the optionee for at least six months (or such shorter
period as is approved by the Board), valued at their Fair Market Value, (B)
delivery of a promissory note of the optionee to the Company on terms determined
by the Board, (C) delivery of an irrevocable undertaking by a broker to deliver
promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price or delivery
of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash
or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price, (D) payment of such other
lawful consideration as the Board may determine, or (E) any combination of the
foregoing.

                  (v) The Board may provide for the automatic award of an Option
upon the delivery of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price of
an Option for up to the number of shares so delivered.

                  (vi) The Board may at any time accelerate the time at which
all or any part of an Option may be exercised.

         (b)      Incentive Stock Options.

                  Options granted under the Plan which are intended to be
Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following additional terms and
conditions:

                  (i) All Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall,
at the time of grant, be specifically designated as such in the option agreement
covering such Incentive Stock Options. The Option exercise period shall not
exceed ten years from the date of grant.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                 (ii) If any employee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is to be
granted under the Plan is, at the time of the grant of such option, the owner of
stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company (after taking into account the attribution of stock
ownership rule of Section 424(b) and of the Code), then the following special
provisions shall be applicable to the Incentive Stock Option granted to such
individual:

                            (x) the purchase price per share of the common stock
          subject to such incentive stock option shall not be less than 110% of
          the fair market value of one share of common stock at the time of
          grant; and

                            (y) the option exercise period shall not exceed five
          years from the date of grant.

                 (iii) For so long as the Code shall so provide, options granted
to any employee under the Plan (and any other incentive stock option plans of
the Company) which are intended to constitute Incentive Stock Options shall not
constitute Incentive Stock Options to the extent that such options, in the
aggregate, become exercisable for the first time in any one calendar year for
shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
respective date or dates of grant) of more than $100,000.

                 (iv) No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised unless, at the
time of such exercise, the Participant is, and has been continuously since the
date of grant of his or her Option, employed by the Company, except that:

                           (x) an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised within
          the period of three months after the date the Participant ceases to be
          an employee of the Company (or within such lesser period as may be
          specified in the applicable option agreement), provided, that the
          agreement with respect to such Option may designate a longer exercise
          period and that the exercise after such three-month period shall be
          treated as the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option under the Plan;

                           (y) if the Participant dies while in the employ of
          the Company, or within three months after the Participant ceases to be
          such an employee, the Incentive Stock Option may be exercised by the
          Participant's Designated Beneficiary within the period of one year
          after the date of death (or within such lesser period as may be
          specified in the applicable Option agreement); and

                           (z) if the Participant becomes disabled (within the
          meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or any successor provision
          thereto) while in the employ of the Company, the Incentive Stock
          Option may be exercised within the period of one year after the date
          of disability (or within such lesser period as may be specified in the
          Option agreement).

For all purposes of the Plan and any Option granted hereunder, "employment"
shall be defined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.421-7(h) of the
Income Tax Regulations (or any successor regulations). Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after its
expiration date.

Section 7.  Stock Appreciation Rights

          (a) The Board may grant Stock Appreciation Rights entitling recipients
on exercise of the SAR to receive an amount, in cash or Stock or a combination
thereof (such form to be determined by the Board), determined in whole or in
part by reference to appreciation in the Fair Market Value of the Stock between
the date of the Award and the exercise of the Award. A Stock Appreciation Right
shall entitle the Participant to receive, with respect to each share of Stock as
to which the SAR is exercised, the excess of the share's Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise over its Fair Market Value on the date the SAR was granted.
The Board may also grant Stock Appreciation Rights that provide that, following
a change in control of the Company (as defined by the Board at the time of the
Award), the holder of such SAR will be entitled to receive, with respect to each
share of Stock subject to the SAR, an amount equal to the excess of a specified
value (which may include an average of values) for a share of Stock during a
period preceding such change in control over the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the date the SAR was granted.

          (b) Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with, or
independently of, Options granted under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right
granted in tandem with an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option may be
granted either at or after the time the Option is granted. A Stock Appreciation
Right granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only at
the time the Option is granted.

          (c) When Stock Appreciation Rights are granted in tandem with Options,
the following provisions will apply:

                  (i) The Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable only at
such time or times, and to the extent, that the related Option is exercisable
and will be exercisable in accordance with the procedure required for exercise
of the related Option.

                  (ii) The Stock Appreciation Right will terminate and no longer
be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, except
that a Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to less than the full
number of shares covered by an Option will not be reduced until the number of
shares as to which the related Option has been exercised or has terminated
exceeds the number of shares not covered by the Stock Appreciation Right.

                  (iii) The Option will terminate and no longer be exercisable
upon the exercise of the related Stock Appreciation Right.

                  (iv) The Stock Appreciation Right will be transferable only
with the related Option.

                  (v) A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an
Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only when the market price of the Stock
subject to the Option exceeds the exercise price of such option.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         (d) A Stock Appreciation Right not granted in tandem with an Option
will become exercisable at such time or times, and on such conditions, as the
Board may specify.

         (e) The Board may at any time accelerate the time at which all or any
part of the SAR may be exercised.

Section 8.  Performance Shares

         (a) The Board may make Performance Share Awards entitling recipients to
acquire shares of Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals. The
Board may make Performance Share Awards independent of or in connection with the
granting of any other Award under the Plan. The Board in its sole discretion
shall determine the performance goals applicable under each such Award, the
periods during which performance is to be measured, and all other limitations
and conditions applicable to the awarded Performance Shares; provided, however,
that the Board may rely on the performance goals and other standards applicable
to other performance plans of the Company in setting the standards for
Performance Share Awards under the Plan.

         (b) Performance Share Awards and all rights with respect to such Awards
may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered.

         (c) A Participant receiving a Performance Share Award shall have the
rights of a stockholder only as to shares actually received by the Participant
under the Plan and not with respect to shares subject to an Award but not
actually received by the Participant. A Participant shall be entitled to receive
a stock certificate evidencing the acquisition of shares of Stock under a
Performance Share Award only upon satisfaction of all conditions specified in
the agreement evidencing the Performance Share Award.

         (d) The Board may at any time accelerate or waive any or all of the
goals, restrictions or conditions imposed under any Performance Share Award.

Section 9.  Restricted and Unrestricted Stock

         (a) The Board may grant Restricted Stock Awards entitling recipients to
acquire shares of Stock, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all
or part of such shares at their purchase price (or to require forfeiture of such
shares if purchased at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions
specified by the Board in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the
end of the applicable Restricted Period or Restricted Periods established by the
Board for such Award. Conditions for repurchase (or forfeiture) may be based on
continuing employment or service or achievement of pre-established performance
or other goals and objectives.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         (b) Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise encumbered, except as permitted by the Board, during the
applicable Restricted Period. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in
such manner as the Board may determine. Any certificates issued in respect of
shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant
and, unless otherwise determined by the Board, deposited by the Participant,
together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its
designee). At the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Company (or such
designee) shall deliver such certificates to the Participant or if the
Participant has died, to the Participant's Designated Beneficiary.

         (c) The Board may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at a purchase
price determined by the Board, which shall not be lower than 85% of Fair Market
Value on the date of sale) to Participants shares of Stock free of any
restrictions under the Plan ("Unrestricted Stock").

         (d) The purchase price for each share of Restricted Stock and
Unrestricted Stock shall be determined by the Board of Directors and may not be
less than the par value of the Common Stock. Such purchase price may be paid in
the form of past services or such other lawful consideration as is determined by
the Board.

         (e) The Board may at any time accelerate the expiration of the
Restricted Period applicable to all, or any particular, outstanding shares of
Restricted Stock.

Section 10.  General Provisions Applicable to Awards

         (a) Applicability of Rule 16b-3. Those provisions of the Plan which
make an express reference to Rule 16b-3 shall apply to the Company only at such
time as the Company's Common Stock is registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, or any successor provision, and then only to Reporting Persons.

         (b) Reporting Person Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan, to the extent required to qualify for the exemption provided by
Rule 16b-3, (i) any Option, SAR, Performance Share Award or other similar right
related to an equity security issued under the Plan to a Reporting Person shall
not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution
or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), or the rules
thereunder, and shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by
the Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative, and (ii)
the selection of a Reporting Person as a Participant and the terms of his or her
Award shall be determined only in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Rule 16b-3.

         (c) Documentation. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an
instrument delivered to the Participant specifying the terms and conditions
thereof and containing such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan as the Board considers necessary or advisable. Such
instruments may be in the form of agreements to be executed by both the Company
and the Participant, or certificates, letters or similar documents, acceptance
of which will evidence agreement to the terms thereof and of this Plan.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         (d) Board Discretion. Each type of Award may be made alone, in addition
to or in relation to any other type of Award. The terms of each type of Award
need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly.
Except as otherwise provided by the Plan or a particular Award, any
determination with respect to an Award may be made by the Board at the time of
award or at any time thereafter.

         (e) Termination of Status. Subject to the provisions of Section
6(b)(iv), the Committee shall determine the effect on an Award of the
disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or other termination
of employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to which, and the
period during which, the Participant's legal representative, guardian or
Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under such Award.

         (f) Mergers, Etc. In the event of a consolidation, merger or other
reorganization in which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are
exchanged for securities, cash or other property of any other corporation or
business entity (as "Acquisition") or in the event of a liquidation of the
Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, or the board of directors of any
corporation assuming the obligations of the Company, may, in its discretion,
take any one or more of the following actions as to outstanding Awards: (i)
provide that such Awards shall be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards
shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an
affiliate thereof) on such terms as the Board determines to be appropriate, (ii)
upon written notice to Participants, provide that all unexercised Options or
SARs will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction
unless exercised by the Participant within a specified period following the date
of such notice, (iii) in the event of an Acquisition under the terms of which
holders of the Common Stock of the Company will receive upon consummation
thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the Acquisition (the
"Acquisition Price"), make or provide for a cash payment to Participants equal
to the amount by which (A) the Acquisition Price times the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to outstanding Options or SARs (to the extent such Options
or SARs are then exercisable or would become exercisable on the date 18 months
after the effective date of such Acquisition) exceeds (B) the aggregate exercise
price of all such outstanding Options or SARs, in exchange for the termination
of such Options and SARs, and (iv) provide that all or any outstanding Awards
shall become exercisable or realizable in full prior to the effective date of
such Acquisition.

         (g) Withholding. The Participant shall pay to the Company, or make
provision satisfactory to the Board for payment of, any taxes required by law to
be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the
event creating the tax liability. In the Board's discretion, and subject to such
conditions as the Board may establish, such tax obligations may be paid in whole
or in part in shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award
creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value. The Company may,
to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment
of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

         (h) Foreign Nationals. Awards may be made to Participants who are
foreign nationals or employed outside the United States on such terms and
conditions different from those specified in the Plan as the Board considers
necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or comply with
applicable laws.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         (i) Amendment of Award. The Board may amend, modify or terminate any
outstanding Award, including substituting therefor another Award of the same or
a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization and converting an
Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, provided that the
Participant's consent to such action shall be required unless the Board
determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not
materially and adversely affect the Participant.

         (j) Cancellation and New Grant of Options. The Board of Directors shall
have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the
consent of the affected optionees, (i) the cancellation of any or all
outstanding Options under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefor of new
Options under the Plan covering the same or different numbers of shares of
Common Stock and having an option exercise price per share which may be lower or
higher than the exercise price per share of the cancelled Options or (ii) the
amendment of the terms of any and all outstanding Options under the Plan to
provide an option exercise price per share which is higher or lower than the
then current exercise price per share of such outstanding Options.

         (k) Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated
to deliver any shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions
from shares previously delivered under the Plan (i) until all conditions of the
Award have been satisfied or removed, (ii) until, in the opinion of the
Company's counsel, all applicable federal and state laws and regulations have
been complied with, (iii) if the outstanding Stock is at the time listed on any
stock exchange, until the shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized
to be listed on such exchange upon official notice of notice of issuance, and
(iv) until all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery
of such shares have been approved by the Company's counsel. If the sale of Stock
has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Company may require, as a condition to exercise of the Award, such
representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to avoid
violation of such Act and may require that the certificates evidencing such
Stock bear an appropriate legend restricting transfer.

Section 11.  Miscellaneous

         (a) No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any
claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be
construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or service
for the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss
a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as
expressly provided in the applicable Award.

         (b) No Rights As Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of the
applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights
as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed
under the Plan until he or she becomes the record holder thereof.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         (c) Exclusion from Benefit Computations. No amounts payable upon
exercise of Awards granted under the Plan shall be considered salary, wages or
compensation to Participants for purposes of determining the amount or nature of
benefits that Participants are entitled to under any insurance, retirement or
other benefit plans or programs of the Company.

         (d) Effective Date and Term. Subject to the approval of the
stockholders of the Company, the Plan shall be effective on November 23, 1993.
Prior to such approval, Awards may be made under the Plan expressly subject to
such approval. No Award may be made under the Plan after November 23, 2003, but
Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.

         (e) Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the
Plan or any portion thereof at any time, provided that no amendment shall be
made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with
any applicable tax or regulatory requirement, including any requirements for
compliance with Rule 16b-3. Prior to any such approval, Awards may be made under
the Plan expressly subject to such approval.

         (f) Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

                              Adopted by the Board of Directors on November 23,
                              1993

                                                                      ----------


                               MapInfo Corporation
                        1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
                        ---------------------------------

         The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible employees of MapInfo
Corporation (the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries with opportunities
to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, $.002 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"). 100,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate have been
approved for this purpose.

         1. Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Company's Board
of Directors (the "Board") or by a Committee appointed by the Board (the
"Committee"). The Board or the Committee has authority to make rules and
regulations for the administration of the Plan and its interpretation and
decisions with regard thereto shall be final and conclusive.

         2. Eligibility. Participation in the Plan will neither be permitted nor
denied contrary to the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and regulations promulgated thereunder. All
employees of the Company, including Directors who are employees, and all
employees of any subsidiary of the Company (as defined in Section 424(f) of the
Code) designated by the Board or the Committee from time to time (a "Designated
Subsidiary"), are eligible to participate in any one or more of the offerings of
Options (as defined in Section 9) to purchase Common Stock under the Plan
provided that:

                  (a) they are regularly employed by the Company or a Designated
         Subsidiary for more than 20 hours a week and for more than five months
         in a calendar year; and

                  (b) they have been employed by the Company or a Designated
         Subsidiary for at least three months (or such number of days as may be
         determined by the Board of Directors or Committee) prior to enrolling
         in the Plan; and

                  (c) they are employees of the Company or a Designated
         Subsidiary on the first day of the applicable Plan Period (as defined
         below).

         No employee may be granted an option hereunder if such employee,
immediately after the option is granted, owns 5% or more of the total combined
voting power or value of the stock of the Company or any subsidiary. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of
the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of an employee, and all
stock which the employee has a contractual right to purchase shall be treated as
stock owned by the employee.
                                       1
<PAGE>

         3. Offerings. The Company will make one or more offerings ("Offerings")
to employees to purchase stock under this Plan. Offerings will begin on such
dates as may be determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee (the
"Offering Commencement Dates"). Each Offering Commencement Date will begin an
approximately six-month period (a "Plan Period") during which payroll deductions
will be made and held for the purchase of Common Stock at the end of the Plan
Period. The Board or the Committee may, at its discretion, choose different Plan
Periods of twelve (12) months or less for Offerings.

         4. Participation. An employee eligible on the Offering Commencement
Date of any Offering may participate in such Offering by completing and
forwarding a payroll deduction authorization form to the employee's appropriate
payroll office at least seven days prior to the applicable Offering Commencement
Date. The form will authorize a regular payroll deduction from the Compensation
received by the employee during the Plan Period. Unless an employee files a new
form or withdraws from the Plan, his deductions and purchases will continue at
the same rate for future Offerings under the Plan as long as the Plan remains in
effect. The term "Compensation" means the amount of money reportable on the
employee's Federal Income Tax Withholding Statement, excluding, to the extent
determined by the Board or the Committee, overtime, shift premium, incentive or
bonus awards, allowances and reimbursements for expenses such as relocation
allowances for travel expenses, income or gains on the exercise of Company stock
options or stock appreciation rights, and similar items, whether or not shown on
the employee's Federal Income Tax Withholding Statement, and including, in the
case of salespersons, sales commissions to the extent determined by the Board or
the Committee.

         5. Deductions. The Company will maintain payroll deduction accounts for
all participating employees. With respect to any Offering made under this Plan,
an employee may authorize a payroll deduction up to a maximum of 10% of the
Compensation he or she receives during the Plan Period or such shorter period
during which deductions from payroll are made, subject to such lesser maximum
rate as may be determined by the Board of Directors or Committee prior to the
applicable Offering Commencement Date. Subject to the foregoing, payroll
deductions may be at the rate of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% or 10% of
Compensation.

         No employee may be granted an Option (as defined in Section 9) which
permits his rights to purchase Common Stock under this Plan and any other stock
purchase plan of the Company and its subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate which
exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such Common Stock (determined at the
Offering Commencement Date of the Plan Period) for each calendar year in which
the Option is outstanding at any time.

         6. Deduction Changes. An employee may decrease or discontinue his
payroll deduction once during any Plan Period, by filing a new payroll deduction
authorization form. However, an employee may not increase his payroll deduction
during a Plan Period. If an employee elects to discontinue his payroll
deductions during a Plan Period, but does not elect to withdraw his funds
pursuant to Section 8 hereof, funds deducted prior to his election to
discontinue will be applied to the purchase of Common Stock on the Exercise Date
(as defined below).

         7. Interest. Interest will not be paid on any employee accounts, except
to the extent that the Board or its Committee, in its sole discretion, elects to
credit employee accounts with interest at such per annum rate as it may from
time to time determine.

         8. Withdrawal of Funds. An employee may at any time prior to the close
of business on the last business day in a Plan Period and for any reason
permanently draw out the balance accumulated in the employee's account and
thereby withdraw from participation in an Offering. Partial withdrawals are not
permitted. The employee may not begin participation again during the remainder
of the Plan Period. The employee may participate in any subsequent Offering in
accordance with terms and conditions established by the Board or the Committee,
except that employees who are also directors or officers of the Company within
the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") and the rules promulgated there under may not participate again for a
period of at least six months as provided in Rule 16b-3(d)(2)(i) or any
successor provision.

         9. Purchase of Shares. On the Offering Commencement Date of each Plan
Period, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a
participant in the Plan an option ("Option") to purchase on the last business
day of such Plan Period (the "Exercise Date"), at the Option Price hereinafter
provided for, such number of whole shares of Common Stock of the Company
reserved for the purposes of the Plan as does not exceed the number of shares
determined by dividing 15% of such employee's annualized Compensation for the
immediately prior six-month period by the price determined in accordance with
the formula set forth in the following paragraph but using the closing price on
the Offering Commencement Date of such Plan Period.

         The purchase price for each share purchased will be 85% of the closing
price of the Common Stock on (i) the first business day of such Plan Period or
(ii) the Exercise Date, whichever closing price shall be less. Such closing
price shall be (a) the closing price on any national securities exchange on
which the Common Stock is listed, or (b) the closing price of the Common Stock
on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
("NASDAQ") or (c) the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the
over-the-counter-market, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall
Street Journal. If no sales of Common Stock were made on such a day, the price
of the Common Stock for purposes of clauses (a) and (b) above shall be the
reported price for the next preceding day on which sales were made.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         Each employee who continues to be a participant in the Plan on the
Exercise Date shall be deemed to have exercised his Option at the Option Price
on such date and shall be deemed to have purchased from the Company the number
of full shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan that his
accumulated payroll deductions on such date will pay for pursuant to the formula
set forth above (but not in excess of the maximum number determined in the
manner set forth above).

         Any balance remaining in an employee's payroll deduction account at the
end of a Plan Period will be automatically refunded to the employee, except that
any balance which is less than the purchase price of one share of Common Stock
will be carried forward into the employee's payroll deduction account for the
following Offering, unless the employee elects not to participate in the
following Offering under the Plan, in which case the balance in the employee's
account shall be refunded.

         10. Issuance of Certificates. Certificates representing shares of
Common Stock purchased under the Plan may be issued only in the name of the
employee, or in the name of the employee and another person of legal age as
joint tenants with rights of survivorship.

         11. Rights on Retirement, Death, or Termination of Employment. In the
event of a participating employee's termination of employment prior to the last
business day of a Plan Period, no payroll deduction shall be taken from any pay
due and owing to an employee and the balance in the employee's account shall be
paid to the employee or, in the event of the employee's death, (a) to a
beneficiary previously designated in a revocable notice signed by the employee
(with any spousal consent required under state law) or (b) in the absence of
such a designated beneficiary, to the executor or administrator of the
employee's estate or (c) if no such executor or administrator has been appointed
to the knowledge of the Company, to such other person(s) as the Company may, in
its discretion, designate. If, prior to the last business day of the Plan
Period, the Designated Subsidiary by which an employee is employed shall cease
to be a subsidiary of the Company, or if the employee is transferred to a
subsidiary of the Company that is not a Designated Subsidiary, the employee
shall be deemed to have terminated employment for the purposes of this Plan.

         12. Optionees Not Stockholders. Neither the granting of an Option to an
employee nor the deductions from his pay shall constitute such employee a
stockholder of the shares of Common Stock covered by an Option under this Plan
until such shares have been purchased by and issued to him.

                                       4
<PAGE>

         13. Rights Not Transferable. Rights under this Plan are not
transferable by a participating employee other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the employee's lifetime
only by the employee.

         14. Application of Funds. All funds received or held by the Company
under this Plan may be combined with other corporate funds and may be used for
any corporate purpose.

         15. Adjustment in Case of Changes Affecting Common Stock. In the event
of a subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or the payment of a
dividend in Common Stock, the number of shares approved for this Plan, and the
share limitation set forth in Section 9, shall be increased proportionately, and
such other adjustment shall be made as may be deemed equitable by the Board or
the Committee. In the event of any other change affecting the Common Stock, such
adjustment shall be made as may be deemed equitable by the Board or the
Committee to give proper effect to such event.

         16. Merger. If the Company shall at any time merge or consolidate with
another corporation and the holders of the capital stock of the Company
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 80%
by voting power of the capital stock of the surviving corporation ("Continuity
of Control"), the holder of each Option then outstanding will thereafter be
entitled to receive at the next Exercise Date upon the exercise of such Option
for each share as to which such Option shall be exercised the securities or
property which a holder of one share of the Common Stock was entitled to upon
and at the time of such merger, and the Committee shall take such steps in
connection with such merger as the Committee shall deem necessary to assure that
the provisions of Paragraph 15 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as
reasonably may be, in relation to the said securities or property as to which
such holder of such Option might thereafter be entitled to receive thereunder.

         In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation which does not involve Continuity of Control, or of a sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company while unexercised
Options remain outstanding under the Plan, (a) subject to the provisions of
clauses (b) and (c), after the effective date of such transaction, each holder
of an outstanding Option shall be entitled, upon exercise of such Option, to
receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock, shares of such stock or other
securities as the holders of shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the
terms of such transaction; or (b) all outstanding Options may be cancelled by
the Board or the Committee as of a date prior to the effective date of any such
transaction and all payroll deductions shall be paid out to the participating
employees; or (c) all outstanding Options may be cancelled by the Board or the
Committee as of the effective date of any such transaction, provided that notice
of such cancellation shall be given to each holder of an Option, and each holder
of an Option shall have the right to exercise such Option in full based on
payroll deductions then credited to his account as of a date determined by the
Board or the Committee, which date shall not be less than ten (10) days
preceding the effective date of such transaction.

                                       5

         17. Amendment of the Plan. The Board may at any time, and from time to
time, amend this Plan in any respect, except that (a) if the approval of any
such amendment by the shareholders of the Company is required by Section 423 of
the Code or by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, such amendment shall not be
effected without such approval, and (b) in no event may any amendment be made
which would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act
and the rules promulgated thereunder, as in effect from time to time, or Section
423 of the Code.

         18. Insufficient Shares. In the event that the total number of shares
of Common Stock specified in elections to be purchased under any Offering plus
the number of shares purchased under previous Offerings under this Plan exceeds
the maximum number of shares issuable under this Plan, the Board or the
Committee will allot, in such manner as it may determine, the shares then
available.

         19. Termination of the Plan. This Plan may be terminated at any time by
the Board. Upon termination of this Plan all amounts in the accounts of
participating employees shall be promptly refunded.

         20. Governmental Regulations. The Company's obligation to sell and
deliver Common Stock under this Plan is subject to listing on a national stock
exchange or quotation on the NASDAQ and the approval of all governmental
authorities required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of
such stock.

         The Plan shall be governed by New York law except to the extent that
such law is preempted by federal law.

         The Plan is intended to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any provision
inconsistent with such Rule shall to that extent be inoperative and shall not
affect the validity of the Plan.

         21. Issuance of Shares. Shares may be issued upon exercise of an Option
from authorized but unissued Common Stock, from shares held in the treasury of
the Company, or from any other proper source.

         22. Notification upon Sale of Shares. Each employee agrees, by entering
the Plan, to promptly give the Company notice of any disposition of shares
purchased under the Plan where such disposition occurs within two years after
the date of grant of the Option pursuant to which such shares were purchased.

         23. Effective Date and Approval of Shareholders. The Plan shall take
effect upon the closing of the initial public offering of Common Stock of the
Company, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company as required by
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and by Section 423 of the Code, which approval
must occur within twelve months of the adoption of the Plan by the Board.

                         1993 Director Stock Option Plan
                         -------------------------------


         1.       Purpose

                  The purpose of this 1993 Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") of MapInfo Corporation (the "Company") is to encourage ownership in the
Company by outside directors of the Company whose continued services are
considered essential to the Company's future progress and to provide them with a
further incentive to remain as directors of the Company.

         2.       Administration

                  The Board of Directors shall supervise and administer the
Plan. Grants of stock options under the Plan and the amount and nature of the
awards to be granted shall be automatic in accordance with Section 5. However,
all questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any options issued under it
shall be determined by the Board of Directors and such determination shall be
final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan.

         3.       Participation in the Plan

                  Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

         4.       Stock Subject to the Plan

                  (a) The maximum number of shares which may be issued under the
Plan shall be 20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.002 per
share ("Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 of the
Plan.

                  (b) If any outstanding option under the Plan for any reason
expires or is terminated without having been exercised in full, the shares
allocable to the unexercised portion of such option shall again become available
for grant pursuant to the Plan.

                  (c) All options granted under the Plan shall be non-statutory
options not entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to date and as it may be amended from time to
time (the "Code").

                                       1
<PAGE>

         5.       Terms, Conditions and Form of Options

                  Each option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
written agreement in such form as the Board of Directors shall from time to time
approve, which agreements shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

                  (a) Option Grants. On the date of each annual meeting of
stockholders of the Company, the Company shall grant to each eligible director
an option for such number of shares of Common Stock equal to $20,000 divided by
the option exercise price per share for each such option (the "Annual Option").

                  (b) Option Exercise Price. The option exercise price per share
for each option granted under the Plan shall equal (i) the last reported sales
price per share of the Company's Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market
System (or, if the Company is traded on a nationally recognized securities
exchange on the date of grant, the reported closing sales price per share of the
Company's Common Stock by such exchange) on the date of grant (or if no such
price is reported on such date such price as reported on the nearest preceding
day) or (ii) if the Common Stock is not traded on NASDAQ or an exchange, the
fair market value per share on the date of grant as most recently determined by
the Board of Directors.

                  (c) Options Non-Transferable. Each option granted under the
Plan by its terms shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by
will, or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercised during
the lifetime of the optionee only by him. No option or interest therein may be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the optionee during his
lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to
execution, attachment or similar process.

                  (d) Exercise Period. Each Annual Option shall become
exercisable at the end of nine years and nine months after the date of grant,
provided that such option shall become exercisable one year after the date of
grant if the director has attended during such year at least 75% of the
aggregate of the number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the number of
meetings held by all committees on which he then served. In the event an
optionee ceases to serve as a director, each such option may be exercised by the
optionee (or, in the event of his death, by his administrator, executor or
heirs), at any time within 12 months after the optionee ceases to serve as a
director, to the extent such option was exercisable at the time of such
cessation of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  (e) Exercise Procedure. Options may be exercised only by
written notice to the Company at its principal office accompanied by (i) payment
in cash of the full consideration for the shares as to which they are exercised
or (ii) an irrevocable undertaking by a broker to deliver promptly to the
Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price or delivery of irrevocable
instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check
sufficient to pay the exercise price.

         6.       Assignments

                  The rights and benefits of participants under the Plan may not
be assigned, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, except as provided in
Section 5(d).

         7.       Effective Date

                  The Plan shall become effective immediately upon its adoption
by the Board of Directors, but all grants of options shall be conditional upon
the approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months
after adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors.

         8.       Limitation of Rights

                  (a) No Right to Continue as a Director. Neither the Plan, nor
the granting of an option nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall
constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied,
that the Company will retain a director for any period of time.

                  (b) No Stockholders' Rights for Options. An optionee shall
have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by his
options until the date of the issuance to him of a stock certificate therefor,
and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights (except as provided
in Section 9) for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is
issued.

         9.       Changes in Common Stock

                  (a) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased,
decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other
securities, or if additional shares or new or different shares or other
securities are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other
securities, through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other distribution with
respect to such shares of Common Stock, or other securities, an appropriate and
proportionate adjustment will be made in (i) the maximum number and kind of
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares
or other securities subject to then outstanding options under the Plan and (iii)
the price for each share subject to any then outstanding options under the Plan,
without changing the aggregate purchase price as to which such options remain
exercisable. No fractional shares will be issued under the Plan on account of
any such adjustments.

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (b) In the event that the Company is merged or consolidated
into or with another corporation (in which consolidation or merger the
stockholders of the Company receive distributions of cash or securities of
another issuer as a result thereof), or in the event that all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company are acquired by any other person or entity, or
in the event of a reorganization or liquidation of the Company, the Board of
Directors of the Company, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming
the obligations of the Company, shall, as to outstanding options, either (i)
provide that such options shall be assumed, or equivalent options shall be
substituted, by the acquiring or successor corporation (or an affiliate
thereof), or (ii) upon written notice to the optionees, provide that all
unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization or liquidations unless
exercised by the optionee within a specified number of days following the date
of such notice.

    10.  Amendment of the Plan

                  The Board of Directors may suspend or discontinue the Plan or
review or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that without
