forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The enclosed
proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company and is
subject to revocation at any time prior to the voting of the proxy by notice in
writing to the Secretary of the Company or the secretary of the meeting or by

indicated, all duly executed proxies received by the Company will be voted (i)
for the election of the nominees for director, (ii) for approval of the
amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the
Company's name, (iii) for approval of the Company's 1993 Non-Employee Directors'
Stock Option Plan, (iv) for approval of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase

and (vi) against the stockholder proposal. Proxies, ballots and voting
tabulations that identify stockholders will be kept confidential, except in a
contested proxy solicitation, where necessary to meet applicable legal
requirements, pursuant to requests by any gaming regulatory agency with
jurisdiction over the Company or at the express request of the stockholder.
Chemical Bank has been appointed as the independent inspector of election for
the meeting. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the enclosed
proxy card are first being sent to stockholders is March 30, 1994.
 
                               VOTING SECURITIES
 
     The total outstanding voting stock of the Company as of March 24, 1994
consisted of 46,864,519 shares of common stock, par value 66 2/3c ("Common
Stock"). Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. The
record of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting

                  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND SECURITY OWNERSHIP
 
     At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, three directors of Class II are to
be elected for a three-year term expiring in 1997 or until their successors have
been duly elected and qualified. Set forth below are the names of, and certain
information with respect to, the persons nominated by the Board of Directors for
election as directors of Class II. It is intended that all duly executed proxies
in the accompanying form will be voted for the election of such nominees (or
such substitute nominees as provided below), unless such authorization has been
withheld.
 
     Authority granted to the persons named in the proxy to vote for nominees is
limited to the three nominees proposed by the Board of Directors and named
below, and proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the
number of nominees named. The Board of Directors is not aware that any of the
nominees will be unavailable for service at the date of the meeting. If, for any
reason, any of the nominees shall become unavailable for election, an event
which is not presently anticipated, discretionary authority may be exercised by
the persons named in the proxy to vote for substitute nominees proposed by the
Board of Directors.
 
     The directors of Class I were elected at the 1993 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders for a three-year term expiring in 1996. The directors of Class III
were elected at the 1992 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for a three-year term
expiring in 1995. Information regarding the nominees for election and the
continuing directors as well as information regarding security ownership of
certain named executive officers, furnished in part by each such person, appears

timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a required report
relating to ownership and changes in ownership of the Company's equity

1993 all such filing requirements were complied with by its directors and
officers except for the failure to include outstanding options on a Form 4 for
Robert Conover, and the incorrect number of shares being reported on Forms 3 and
4 for Michael Lucci. These inaccuracies have been corrected.
 
                 INFORMATION RELATING TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                      AND CERTAIN COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
 
     The Board of Directors held 10 meetings during 1993. Each incumbent
director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board
of Directors and all committees on which he served during 1993.
 
     The Board of Directors has an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee, a
Nominating Committee and a Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The general
functions of such committees, the identity of each committee member and the
number of committee meetings held by each committee during the last fiscal year
are set forth below.
 
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
 
     The current members of the Executive Committee are Mr. Goldberg, Chairman,
and Messrs. Marano and Aronoff. The Executive Committee may exercise all of the
powers of the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by law. The Executive
Committee did not hold any meetings during 1993.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
     The current members of the Audit Committee are Mr. O'Malley, Chairman, and
Messrs. Halkyard and Looloian. The general functions of the Audit Committee
include selecting the independent auditors (or recommending such action to the
Board of Directors), evaluating the performance of the independent auditors and
their fees for services, reviewing the scope of the annual audit with the
independent auditors and the results of the audit with management and the
independent auditors, consulting with management, internal auditors and the
independent auditors as to the systems of internal accounting controls, and
reviewing the nonaudit services performed by the independent auditors and
considering the effect, if any, on their independence. The Audit Committee held
three meetings during 1993.

<PAGE>   8
 
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
 
     The current members of the Nominating Committee are Mr. Marano, Chairman,
and Messrs. Goldberg, Rochford and Brunet. The general functions of the
Nominating Committee include recommending to the Board of Directors nominees for
election as directors, consideration of the performance of incumbent directors
in determining whether to nominate them for reelection and making
recommendations with respect to the organization and size of the Board of
Directors and its committees. The Nominating Committee did not hold any meetings
during 1993.
 
     The Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by
stockholders. Such a recommendation will be considered if submitted in writing
addressed to the Company c/o "Chairman, Nominating Committee," accompanied by a
description of the proposed nominee's qualifications and other relevant
biographical information, and a written indication of the consent of the
proposed nominee. Candidates for nomination as director are considered on the
basis of their broad business, financial and public service experience, and
should not represent any particular constituency, but rather the stockholders
generally. The nominees should be highly regarded for capability and integrity
within their fields or professions. In addition, the activities or associations
of the nominees should not constitute conflicts of interest or legal impediments
that might preclude service as a Company director. Moreover, nominees must be
able, and must have expressed a willingness, to devote the time required to
serve effectively as a director and as a member of one or more committees of the
Board of Directors.
 
COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE
 
     The current members of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the
"Compensation Committee") are Mr. Halkyard, Chairman, and Messrs. O'Malley and
Marano. The general functions of the Compensation Committee include approval (or
recommendation to the Board of Directors) of the compensation arrangements for
senior management, directors and other key employees, review of benefit plans in
which officers and directors are eligible to participate, periodic review of the
equity compensation plans of the Company and the grants under such plans, and
oversight of management development to insure continuity of senior management.
The Compensation Committee held five meetings during 1993.
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
     Members of the Board of Directors who are also employees of the Company do
not receive any additional compensation for service on the Board of Directors or
any committees of the Board of Directors. In 1993, the members of the Board of
Directors who were not employees received an annual retainer of $35,000 plus a
$2,000 stipend for each meeting attended. Non-employee directors received
additional stipends for service on committees of the Board of Directors of $500
per year for committee members and $2,500 per year for committee chairmen,
except the Chairmen of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, each
of whom received annual stipends of $5,000.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
MR. GOLDBERG
 
     The Company and Mr. Goldberg entered into an employment agreement (the
"Goldberg Employment Agreement") dated as of November 1, 1990 for a three-year
term at an annual base salary of $700,000, plus bonuses, payable at the
discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Goldberg Employment Agreement is
guaranteed by Bally's Park Place, Inc. The Goldberg Employment Agreement was
amended, effective November 1, 1991, to, among other things, extend the term for
an additional year and to increase the base salary to $2,200,000. The Goldberg
Employment Agreement was further amended September 29, 1993, to, among other
things, extend the term of the Goldberg Employment Agreement through October 31,
1997, with automatic annual extensions for additional one-year periods unless
either party gives written notice to the other prior to October 1 of any year
fixing the remainder of the term at three years without automatic extension. In
addition, the Goldberg Employment Agreement calls for the Company to contribute,
each year during the term of Mr. Goldberg's employment, amounts to provide Mr.
Goldberg with annual retirement benefits, if he is employed by the Company until
age 62, equal to the excess, if any, of (i) 50% of the average of his cash
compensation for any of the three highest years preceding the year in which he
attains age 62, over (ii) the sum of $258,189 and the retirement benefit payable
to Mr. Goldberg under the Company's other retirement or similar benefit programs
in which Mr. Goldberg participates, except the Company's 401(k) program ("the
Supplemental Retirement Benefit Arrangement"). The contributions under the
Supplemental Retirement Benefit Arrangement are to be paid (i) directly to Mr.
Goldberg, (ii) to the appropriate governmental taxing authority on Mr.
Goldberg's behalf, or (iii) to a supplemental retirement benefit trust,
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   11
 
together with a tax gross-up payment so that the net benefit received by Mr.
Goldberg, after payment of all taxes, is equal to the required contribution by
the Company. In 1993, the cost to the Company of the contributions and the tax
gross-up was approximately $597,463 and $487,509, respectively. Upon termination
of Mr. Goldberg's employment without cause, in addition to other payments, the
Company is required to make an additional contribution, which would equal three
times the contribution most recently made prior thereto, provided that all
retirement benefits from the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Arrangement would
not exceed the benefits described in the third preceding sentence. Furthermore,
in the event there is a change in control of the Company (as defined in the
Goldberg Employment Agreement) and within two years thereafter Mr. Goldberg's
employment is terminated by the Company or by him voluntarily following a
constructive termination without cause, Mr. Goldberg will be entitled to a lump
sum payment equal to the greater of (i) the sum of his base salary for the
remainder of his employment term, plus the average of the semi-annual bonuses
awarded to him prior to his termination multiplied by two times the number of
half-years remaining in his employment term, or (ii) three times his base
salary. In such event, he shall also be entitled to any bonuses awarded but not
yet paid, the value of his continued participation in certain employee benefit
plans of the Company (or continued participation in such plans until the end of
the employment term or the time Mr. Goldberg receives equivalent coverage from a
subsequent employer), certain retirement trust contributions and payment by the
Company of premiums on the split-dollar life insurance as if Mr. Goldberg had
been employed by the Company until age 62. Mr. Goldberg would also be entitled
to a tax gross-up payment with respect to any payment made after a change of
control subject to the excise tax. If a change of control of Bally occurred on
the date of this Proxy Statement, Mr. Goldberg would be entitled to a payment of
approximately $26,200,000 under the Goldberg Employment Agreement.
 
MR. HILLMAN
 
     The Company, Bally's Health & Tennis Corporation ("BHTC") and Mr. Hillman
entered into an employment agreement effective as of November 12, 1991 for a
term expiring April 14, 1994. The employment agreement was amended, effective
December 8, 1993, to, among other things, extend the term of the employment
agreement through April 14, 1997, with automatic annual extensions for
additional one-year periods unless either party gives written notice to the
other on or prior to March 1 of any year fixing the remainder of the term at
three years without automatic extension. The agreement provides for an annual
base salary of $275,000, a fixed annual bonus of $75,000, and a bonus payable at
the discretion of the Compensation Committee. In the event of a change of
control of the Company or BHTC, as a result of which Mr. Hillman is asked to
leave the employ of either company, Mr. Hillman is entitled to receive a lump
sum payment of the full amount of his base salary and annual bonus due to him
for the remainder of the term of his agreement. If a change of control of the
Company or BHTC occurred as of the date of this Proxy Statement and Mr. Hillman
was asked to leave the employ of either company, Mr. Hillman would be entitled
to a payment of $1,065,000 under his employment agreement.
 
MR. BARR
 
     The Company and Mr. Barr entered into an employment agreement effective as
of January 1, 1993 for a term expiring December 31, 1995. The agreement provides
for an annual base salary of $700,000. Mr. Barr also received options to
purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to vesting. In the
event of an initial public offering of the common stock of either Bally's Park
Place, Inc. or GNAC, CORP. during the term of the employment agreement, Mr. Barr
will receive stock options and/or stock awards in amounts consistent with the
highest grants of these types to other employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries, other than the Chairman of the Board or President of the Company.
Upon execution of the employment agreement, Mr. Barr became fully vested in the
Park Place Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "Park Place SERP"). In
the event the employment agreement is terminated prior to its expiration, except
for cause, or the Park Place SERP is modified to limit the credits Mr. Barr
would have received for additional years of service, Mr. Barr will be deemed to
have an additional three years of service and credit for compensation actually
received or the base salary under the employment agreement, whichever is
greater. In the event of a change in control of the Company, Mr. Barr may
terminate the agreement and receive a lump sum payment equal to six months of
his base salary. In the event of a change in control of the Company, a

result of which Mr. Barr is asked to leave the employ of the Company, Mr. Barr
is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to either 24 months base salary
or an amount equal to his base salary for the balance of the term of his
employment agreement, whichever amount is greater. If a change of control of the
Company occurred as of the date of this Proxy Statement, and Mr. Barr was asked
to leave the employ of the Company, Mr. Barr would be entitled to a payment of
$1,400,000 under his employment agreement.
 
MR. LUCCI
 
     BHTC and Mr. Lucci entered into an employment agreement effective as of
January 1, 1992 for a term expiring December 31, 1994. The employment agreement
provides for an annual base salary of $380,000. The employment agreement
provides for a performance bonus based on certain criteria, not to exceed
$600,000 for any year under the agreement. In addition, Mr. Lucci may receive a
discretionary bonus payment from BHTC if, in the opinion of the Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, his performance warrants such
a payment. Mr. Lucci's agreement also provides for participation in BHTC's other
executive benefit plans. In the event of a change in control of the Company, as
a result of which Mr. Lucci is asked to leave the employ of the Company, Mr.
Lucci is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to either 18 months base
salary and bonus payments or an amount equal to his base salary and bonus
payments for the balance of the term of his employment agreement, whichever
amount is greater. If a change of control of the Company occurred as of the date
of this Proxy Statement, and Mr. Lucci was asked to leave the employ of the
Company, Mr. Lucci would be entitled to a payment of $570,000 under his
employment agreement.
 
MR. CONOVER
 
     The Company and Mr. Conover entered into an employment agreement effective
as of July 1, 1992 for a term expiring on December 31, 1994. The agreement
provides for an annual base salary of $285,000. Pursuant to an agreement between
the Company and BGII, BGII reimburses the Company for approximately one-third
( 1/3) of Mr. Conover's annual salary and employee benefit costs. There is no
reimbursement by BGII for any bonuses received by Mr. Conover from the Company.
Upon termination of Mr. Conover's employment without cause, he will become fully
vested in the Park Place SERP regardless of his age. In the event of a change in
control of the Company, Mr. Conover may terminate the agreement and receive a
lump sum payment equal to six months of his base salary. In the event of a
change in control of the Company, as a result of which Mr. Conover is asked to
leave the employ of the Company, Mr. Conover is entitled to receive a lump sum
payment equal to 15 months of his base salary or an amount equal to his base
salary for the remainder of the term of his agreement, whichever is greater. If
a change of control of the Company occurred as of the date of this Proxy
Statement and Mr. Conover was asked to leave the employ of the Company, Mr.
Conover would be entitled to a payment of $356,250 under his employment
agreement.
 
PARK PLACE SERP
 
     Bally's Park Place, Inc. ("Park Place") has established the Park Place SERP
which fixes a minimum level for retirement benefits based upon a participant's
years of service with Park Place (or the Company and its subsidiaries) and
compensation during the three years falling within the last 10 years of the
participant's employment (or total employment if less than 10 years) in which
compensation is highest ("Average Compensation"). Participants who are vested
under the Park Place SERP are entitled to receive an annual benefit equal to
3.33% of Average Compensation for each year of service (subject to a maximum of
15 years of service to be credited to any participant), but not more than 50% of
the participant's Average Compensation. A participant becomes vested under the
Park Place SERP only if such participant has at least seven years of service and
has either retired after attaining age 60, or both attained age 50 and
participated in the Park Place SERP for at least three years. Solely for
purposes of determining vesting, a participant who is disabled (as determined
under the Park Place SERP) and terminates employment after attaining age 50 is
credited with years of service and participation until the participant's death.
The Park Place SERP annual benefit is payable for the life of a vested
participant and normally commences after the participant has both terminated
employment and attained age 60. A reduced benefit is payable to a vested
participant who is eligible for early retirement (after attainment of at least
age 55) or who is disabled and begins to receive benefit payments at an
 
                                       10

earlier date. Upon the death of a vested participant, a death benefit is payable
to either the participant's surviving spouse or the participant's beneficiaries.
Depending on circumstances described in the Park Place SERP, death benefits are
to be paid in the form of either a monthly payment equal to a percentage of the
benefit payable to the participant (either 50% to the surviving spouse for life
or 100% to the surviving spouse or the beneficiaries for a period not exceeding
10 years) or a lump-sum cash payment equal to two times the participant's
compensation in such participant's last full calendar year of employment.
Participation in the Park Place SERP is limited to certain key executives
designated by the Park Place Board of Directors. Benefits payable under the Park
Place SERP may generally be cancelled in the event a participant is discharged
for cause or enters into competition with the gaming business of Park Place
other than The Grand in Atlantic City. The Park Place SERP is unfunded and is
not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. Mr. Conover has credit for 14
years of service under the Park Place SERP. Mr. Barr is fully vested pursuant to
the terms of his employment agreement.
 
     An example of the benefits provided under the Park Place SERP (assuming
retirement at age 60) is set forth in the following table:

(2) The potential realizable values represent future opportunity and have not
    been reduced to present value in 1993 dollars. The dollar amounts included
    in these columns are the result of calculations at assumed rates set by the
    Securities and Exchange Commission for illustration purposes, and these
    rates are not intended to be a forecast of the Common Stock price and are
    not necessarily indicative of the values that may be realized by the named
    executive officer. The potential realizable values are based on arbitrarily
    assumed annualized rates of stock price appreciation of five percent and 10
    percent over the full 10-year term of the options. For example, in order for
    the individuals named above who received options with an exercise price of
    $9.625 per share to realize the potential values set forth in the five
    percent and 10 percent columns in the table above, the price per share of
    the Company's Common Stock would have to be approximately $15.68 and $24.97,
    respectively.
 
(3) One-third of the options granted may be exercised on the first anniversary
    of the date of grant, two-thirds after two years from the date of grant and

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") is
composed of three non-employee directors. The Committee is responsible for
approval (or recommendation to the Board of Directors) of the compensation
arrangements for senior management, directors and other key employees; review of
benefit plans in which officers and directors are eligible to participate;
periodic review of the equity compensation plans of the Company and grants under
such plans; and oversight of management development to insure continuity of
senior management.
 
     In October 1990, the Board of Directors commenced a significant
restructuring effort relating to the Company's financial condition and
operations. As part of the restructuring, the Committee sought to establish
executive compensation programs intended to attract and retain executives
capable of enhancing stockholder value through the restructuring and the
operation of the Company's core businesses. Because of the uncertainty then
surrounding the Company's future and the necessity of having dynamic and
long-term leadership to guide the Company through the restructuring and beyond,
the Committee determined that in order to attract and retain executives with
these qualities, it was necessary to offer executive officers significant base
salaries, multi-year contracts and, to provide further incentive for increasing
stockholder value, significant stock option awards. Further, given the complex
and ongoing nature of the restructuring, the Committee concluded that creation
of compensation arrangements linked to specific operating results or more
traditional criteria was inappropriate.
 
     It was the Board of Director's view in October 1990, and it remains the
view of the Committee today, that the use of stock option awards aligns the
interests of the Company's executive officers with the long-term interests of
the Company's stockholders. The object of these awards is to provide incentive
to management to reinforce and advance the long-term interests of the Company
and its stockholders. Stock option awards provide rewards to executives for the
creation of incremental stockholder value and have the potential of providing
significant benefit to the executives without requiring the Company to make
significant cash payments. Stock options only produce value to executives as the
price of the Company's stock appreciates, thereby directly linking the interests
of executives with those of the stockholders.
 
     During 1993, the Committee took several actions designed to retain the
Company's current executive officers and to reward them for their leadership
through the completion of the restructuring, the successful strides made in the
development of new gaming business opportunities, the refinancing of much of the
Company's debt and the strategic improvements made in the Company's ongoing
business operations. The Committee awarded bonuses to each of the Company's
named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. Although the
Committee was prepared to award a bonus to the Chief Executive Officer, he
refused such award. In addition, the Committee granted stock option awards to
the Chief Executive Officer and each of the Company's other named executive
officers to increase management's incentive to improve the Company's
performance. In determining the size of stock option awards, the Committee
considered, among other things, previous awards made to executive officers. In
order to ensure the continuity of the Company's senior management, the Committee
amended the employment agreements of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer to provide for automatic annual extensions for additional
one-year periods after the agreements' scheduled expiration dates unless either
the executive or the Company gives written notice to the other party fixing the
remainder of the term at three years without automatic extension. Neither of the
amendments provided for increases in base salary. In fiscal year 1993, the
Committee did not apply any specific quantitative formula in making compensation
decisions, including bonuses and the grants of stock options. However, the
Committee did appreciate the importance of achievements that may have been
difficult to quantify, especially in the context of carrying forward the gains
from the restructuring, and accordingly recognized qualitative factors such as,
in order of significance, contributions of executive officers to the achievement
of the Company's strategic goals in a volatile business environment, the
implementation of policies and measures that will benefit the Company's
long-term performance and thus ultimately benefit the Company's stockholders,
and the managerial vision, decision-making responsibilities, effectiveness and
teamwork of individual executive officers. The Company's strategic goals for
1993 included the strengthening of the capital structure of the Company,
positioning the Company to enter into new gaming markets and improving existing
operations of all of the Company's business segments. The Compensation Committee
 
                                       13

believes that the Company achieved its goals with regard to the restructure of
the capital structure and the Company's entrance into new gaming markets and
made significant strides with respect to improving its existing operations.
 
     The compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer has been designed
to reward him for his efforts in connection with the restructuring and enhancing
the long-term performance of the Company and ultimately increasing stockholder
value. The Chief Executive Officer's total compensation package, comprised of
his original base compensation and recent stock option grants, has been approved
by the Committee in order to compensate him in his continuing efforts to improve
the Company's performance and to provide further incentive to increase the
short-and long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company's
performance, both short-and long-term, and ultimately the short-and long-term
interests of the Company and its stockholders, are tied to the Company's
earnings, earnings potential, cash flows and stock values.
 
     In accordance with the confirmation of the plan of reorganization of
Bally's Grand, Bally's Grand established the Bally's Grand, Inc. 1993 Incentive
Stock Plan (the "1993 Incentive Plan"), pursuant to which 600,000 shares of the
common stock of Bally's Grand were made available for award to its officers and
directors actively involved in its management or operations. A subsidiary of the
Company (the "Manager") provides management services to Bally's Grand pursuant
to a management agreement. The Manager receives an annual fee for providing the
management services to Bally's Grand. In addition, the Manager is responsible
for the administration of the 1993 Incentive Plan including the determination of
which individuals will participate in the 1993 Incentive Plan. The board of
directors of the Manager decided to grant stock awards to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and various other individuals who are
officers and/or directors of Bally's Grand. The Committee affirmed the grants
made by the Manager. The Committee authorized the grants to the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer in recognition of their combined efforts in
managing Bally's Grand and establishing the Company's investment in Bally's
Grand as a significant asset of the Company. In addition, by authorizing the
grants of the common stock of Bally's Grand, the Committee was able to provide
benefits to the executives without incurring any cash cost for the Company.
 
     The Committee has commenced a review of the Company's compensation program
for its executive officers. It is the Committee's belief that as the Company's
restructuring has been completed, executive officer compensation may be linked
to performance-based criteria. The Committee is also considering the use of
performance-based compensation plans in order to comply with the recently
enacted Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 which generally disallows a tax
deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million paid to the
corporation's Chief Executive Officer and the four other most highly compensated
executive officers in any taxable year. This provision will generally be
effective for the Company's tax year beginning January 1, 1994. Qualifying
performance-based compensation will not be subject to the deduction limit if
certain requirements are met. One such requirement is that the performance-based
compensation plans adopted by a company be submitted to its stockholders for
approval. The Company currently intends to structure the performance-based
portion of the compensation of its executive officers in a manner that complies
with the new statute. It is expected that the stockholders will be presented
with proposals relating to performance-based compensation plans at the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 1995.

     The Committee believes that the cumulative total return to the Company's
stockholders of 183% since the date that the Company's present Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer became a member of the Board of Directors
demonstrates that the Company's compensation approach has been appropriate. The
cumulative total return to the Company's stockholders since October 12, 1990 is
set forth in the graph below.

               PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF
                   INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY'S NAME
 
     The Board of Directors has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an
amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the
name of Bally Manufacturing Corporation to Bally Entertainment Corporation. The
name change is being made so that the Company's name will more accurately
describe its ongoing business activities (which do not include any manufacturing
operations) through the use of the broader descriptive term "entertainment."
 
     The Board of Directors has approved this proposed amendment to the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and is submitting the following
resolution for adoption by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting:
 
          RESOLVED, that Article First of the Company's Restated Certificate of
     Incorporation shall be amended by striking out Article First in its
     entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
 
          "FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Bally Entertainment
     Corporation."
 
     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's
outstanding shares of Common Stock is required for adoption of this proposed
amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation. If the
proposed amendment is adopted by the Company's stockholders, such amendment will
become effective on the date a certificate of amendment is filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Company's state of
incorporation.
 
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE
COMPANY'S RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY'S NAME
FROM BALLY MANUFACTURING CORPORATION TO BALLY ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION.

                  APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S 1993 NON-EMPLOYEE
                          DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     On October 13, 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1993
Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan"), subject to
approval by the stockholders of the Company.
 
     The Directors' Plan is intended to encourage non-employee directors of the
Company to acquire or increase their ownership of Common Stock on reasonable
terms, and to foster a strong incentive to put forth maximum effort for the
continued success and growth of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Directors'
Plan provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options to purchase an
aggregate of 120,000 shares of the Common Stock to current and future
non-employee directors of the Company. As of October 13, 1993, the non-employee
directors eligible to receive stock options under the Directors' Plan were
George N. Aronoff, Barrie K. Brunet, Edwin M. Halkyard, J. Kenneth Looloian,
Rocco J. Marano, Patrick L. O'Malley, James M. Rochford and a former director
who is now deceased.
 
     The complete text of the Directors' Plan is attached as Exhibit A to this
Proxy Statement. The following summary of the Directors' Plan does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit A.
 
     Each of the directors identified above as being eligible to receive stock
options under the Directors' Plan was granted an option on October 13, 1993,
subject to stockholder approval of the Directors' Plan, to purchase 5,000 shares
of Common Stock. On October 13, 1995, each such director who is still a director
on that date will be granted an option to purchase an additional 5,000 shares of
Common Stock. Each director who joins the Board of Directors after the
Directors' Plan was originally adopted will be granted on the first business day
following the first day of his term, an option to purchase 5,000 shares of
Common Stock. On the second anniversary of that date, such director, if he is
still a director on that date, will be granted an Option to purchase an
additional 5,000 shares of Common Stock. If the number of shares available to
grant under the Directors' Plan on a scheduled date of grant is insufficient to
make all the grants, then each eligible director will receive an option to
purchase a pro rata number of the available shares.
 
     The option price per share for options granted on October 13, 1993 was
$9.50 (the fair market value of the Common Stock on such date) and the option
price per share for later grants will be the fair market value of the shares of
Common Stock on the date of grant. Under the Directors' Plan, fair market value
is generally the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on the last business day prior to the date on which the value is to be
determined.
 
     The options granted under the Directors' Plan will be exercisable for a
term of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination, and may
be exercised as follows: one-third after one year from the date of grant,
two-thirds after two years from the date of grant and 100% after three years
from the date of grant.
 
     In the event that a director ceases to be a member of the Board of
Directors (other than by reason of death or disability), an option may be
exercised by the director (to the extent the director was entitled to do so at
the time he ceased to be a member of the Board of Directors) at any time within
the later of (i) three months after he ceases to be a member of the Board of
Directors and (ii) nine months after the most recent grant of an option to such
director under the Directors' Plan, but not beyond the term of the option. If
the director dies or becomes disabled while he is a member of the Board of
Directors, an option may be exercised in full by a legatee of the director under
his will, or by him or his personal representative or distributees, as the case
may be, at any time within 12 months after his death or disability, but not
beyond the term of the option; provided, that in the event of disability, an
option may not be exercised prior to the six-month anniversary of the date the
option was granted. If a director, following the termination of his
directorship, dies within the later of (i) three months after he ceases to be a
member of the Board of Directors and (ii) nine months after the most recent
grant of an option to such director under the Directors' Plan, an option may be
exercised (to the extent the director was entitled to do so at the time he
ceased to be a member of the Board of Directors) by a legatee of the director
under his will, or by his personal representative or distributees, as the case
may be, at any time within 12 months after his death, but not beyond the term of
the option.
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   20
 
     Options granted under the Directors' Plan will be subject to adjustment
upon a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization,
liquidation, extraordinary dividend, or other similar event affecting the Common
Stock. Options will not be transferable other than by will or pursuant to the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order, and will be exercisable during the lifetime of an option holder only by
such holder or his personal representative in the event of disability.
 
     Upon a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in the Directors'
Plan), each option granted under the Directors' Plan will terminate on the later
of (i) 90 days after the occurrence of the "change in control" and (ii) seven
months following the date of grant of each option, and an option holder will
have the right, commencing at least five days prior to the "change in control"
and subject to any other limitation on the exercise of the option in effect on
the date of exercise, to immediately exercise any options in full, to the extent
they previously have not been exercised.
 
     The Directors' Plan will terminate on October 13, 1998 and options may not
be granted under the Directors' Plan after that date although the terms of any
option may be amended in accordance with the Directors' Plan at any date prior
to the end of the term of that option. Any options outstanding at the time of
termination of the Directors' Plan will continue in full force and effect
according to the terms and conditions of the option and the Directors' Plan.
 
     The Directors' Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors, provided that
stockholder approval will be necessary if required under Rule 16b-3 ("Rule
16b-3") of the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and no amendment may impair any of the
rights of any holder of an option previously granted under the Directors' Plan
without the holder's consent, and provided that certain provisions of the
Directors' Plan may not be amended more than once every six months.
 
     The Directors' Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. The
principal terms of the option grants are fixed in the Directors' Plan.
Therefore, the Compensation Committee will have no discretion to select which
directors receive options, the number of shares of Common Stock included in any
grant, or the exercise price of options.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
     The issuance of a non-qualified stock option under the Directors' Plan will
not result in any taxable income to the recipient director or a tax deduction to
the Company at the time it is granted. Generally, a director to whom a
non-qualified stock option has been granted will recognize ordinary income on
the first date following the date the director exercises the option on which the
shares of Common Stock first become transferable and are no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture. On that date, the director will recognize income
in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of
Common Stock on the date the shares of Common Stock first become transferable or
are no longer subject to forfeiture over the option price. For tax purposes, the
Common Stock is considered to be non-transferable and subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture as long as the sale of the shares could subject the director
to suit under the "short swing profit" rules pursuant to Section 16 ("Section
16") of the Exchange Act.
 
     Alternatively, if the director so elects, he will recognize ordinary income
on the date of exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market
value of the shares of Common Stock (without taking into account any lapse
restrictions) on the date of exercise over the option price.
 
     The Company is entitled to a tax deduction corresponding to the amount of
income recognized by the director as a result of the exercise of an option for
the year in which the director recognizes such income for federal income tax
purposes.
 
     Under the Section 16 regulations, a director may generally exercise an
option and sell the underlying stock immediately without subjecting himself to
suit under the "short swing profit" provisions as long as he has held the option
and/or the underlying Common Stock for an aggregate of six months. If the
director exercises a stock option within the first six months following the date
of grant, then (except in certain cases involving death or incompetence),
taxation will be deferred and the amount of income will be measured six
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   21
 
months following the date of grant (unless the director elects to be taxed on
the date of exercise) because the sale of the underlying Common Stock before
this date could subject the director to suit under the "short swing profit"
provisions.
 
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
 
     The table below sets forth the benefits that will be received by the
non-employee directors if the Directors' Plan is approved by the stockholders.
Only non-employee directors will receive stock options under the Directors'
Plan.

    price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. As of
    March 1, 1994, the closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on
    the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Tape was $8.625.

 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTORS' PLAN.
 
                       APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S EMPLOYEE
                              STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
 
     On December 8, 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject
to the approval of stockholders, the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Stock Purchase Plan").
 
     The Stock Purchase Plan is intended to encourage ownership of Common Stock
by eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, to encourage their
continued employment with the Company and to provide them with additional
incentives to promote the success of the Company. Except as discussed below,
eligible employees are employees who have been employed by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries for at least 12 consecutive months as of the commencement date
of an offering under the Stock Purchase Plan and who customarily work more than
20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year.
 
     The complete text of the Stock Purchase Plan, which is intended to qualify
as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), is attached as Exhibit B to this Proxy
Statement. The following summary of the Stock Purchase Plan does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit B.
 
     The Stock Purchase Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant
options to purchase Common Stock to eligible employees pursuant to one or more
offerings to be made under the Stock Purchase Plan. The Compensation Committee
administers the Stock Purchase Plan and, subject to the provisions of the Stock
Purchase Plan, has sole discretion to determine when offerings will be made
under the Stock Purchase Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock to be made
available in any offering, and the terms and conditions of any offering. Unless
the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, the Stock Purchase Plan will be
implemented by up to 20 consecutive six-month offerings. The first offering
under the Stock Purchase Plan will commence on July 1, 1994 and terminate on
December 31, 1994. Thereafter, offerings shall commence on each subsequent
January 1 or July 1 and terminate on the following June 30 and December 31,
respectively, of such year until the Plan is terminated or no additional shares
of Common Stock are available for purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan.
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   22
 
     The Compensation Committee may exclude the employees of any specific
subsidiary from any offering made under the Stock Purchase Plan and may
determine not to include certain highly compensated employees from any
particular offering. In addition, no option may be granted to an employee who,
immediately after the option is granted, owns five percent or more of the value
or voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent, if any, or
subsidiary corporations, after taking into account certain attribution rules.
Subject to these provisions, all eligible employees must be given the right to
participate in any offering made under the Stock Purchase Plan. There are
200,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Stock Purchase
Plan.
 
     Prior to any offering made under the Stock Purchase Plan, the Company will
grant to each eligible employee the right to become a participant in the Stock
Purchase Plan. Each person electing to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan
must execute and deliver to the Company a subscription agreement which indicates
the amount to be deducted from the participant's paycheck for each payroll
period during the period during which installment payments for shares pursuant
to options granted pursuant to an offering made under the Stock Purchase Plan
shall be made (the "Purchase Period"). An employee shall thereafter be deemed to
be a participant in the Stock Purchase Plan for each subsequent offering until
the employee withdraws from the Stock Purchase Plan. Employees may elect to
subscribe for options to purchase shares of Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase price up to 10 percent of their eligible compensation during the
Purchase Period applicable to a particular offering. No employee will be
entitled to subscribe or receive options to purchase shares of Common Stock with
an aggregate fair market value of more than $25,000 in any one calendar year
(determined on the date the options are granted).
 
     On the date on which a particular offering begins, eligible employees who
have previously elected to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan will
automatically be granted, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Stock
Purchase Plan, an option to purchase the number of full shares of Common Stock
which his accumulated payroll deductions will purchase as of the date such
offering terminates. Unless the Compensation Committee determines to set a
higher price, the option price will equal the lesser of 85% of the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date on which a particular offering begins or
85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date on which such
offering terminates. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, fair market value is
generally the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
on the last business day prior to the date the value is to be determined.
Payment of the exercise price of any option granted pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Plan shall be made in installments, through payroll deductions, with no
right of prepayment. These options, to the extent they remain outstanding, will
be automatically exercised as of the date on which a particular offering
terminates.
 
     Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Stock Purchase Plan, an
employee is permitted, at any time prior to the end of the Purchase Period
applicable to such offering, to terminate or reduce his payroll deductions, to
reduce his options to purchase or to withdraw all or part of the amount in his
account, without interest. Upon the termination of the employee's employment
with the Company prior to the last day of the Purchase Period for any reason
other than death or retirement, the employee's only right will be to receive the
amount of cash then in his account, without interest.
 
     The Stock Purchase Plan also contains provisions governing the rights and
privileges of employees or their representatives in the event of retirement,
lay-off, disability, death or other occurrences.
 
     Options granted under the Stock Purchase Plan will be subject to adjustment
upon a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization,
liquidation, extraordinary dividend or other similar event affecting the Common
Stock. Options will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or, if permitted pursuant to the Code and the
regulations thereunder without affecting the option's qualification under Code
Section 423, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and an option may
be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of the option, only by him, or
his personal representative in the event of disability.
 
     Upon a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in the Stock Purchase
Plan), the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine to
terminate the Purchase Period of any offering made under the Stock Purchase Plan
as of the last day of the month during which such "change in control" occurs.

     The Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on June 30, 2004, and an option
shall not be granted under the plan after such date. Any options outstanding at
the time of termination of the Stock Purchase Plan will continue in full force
and effect according to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Plan.
 
     The Stock Purchase Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by
the Board of Directors, but no amendment without the approval of the
stockholders of the Company shall be made if stockholder approval under Section
423 of the Code or Rule 16b-3 would be required.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
     Under Section 423(a) of the Code, the transfer of a share of stock to an
employee pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan will be entitled to the benefits of
Section 421(a) of the Code. Under that Section, an employee will not be required
to recognize income at the time the option is granted or at the time the option
is exercised. If, as currently contemplated by the Stock Purchase Plan, the
option price applicable to any offering made under the Stock Purchase Plan is
less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, then,
provided the holding periods described below are met, upon the disposition of
the shares of Common Stock by the employee (or in the event of the death of the
employee while owning such Common Stock whether or not the holding period
requirements are met), the employee will recognize compensation income (taxed as
ordinary income) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair
market value of the Common Stock at the time of such disposition or death over
the amount paid for the Common Stock (i.e., the option price); or (ii) the
excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is
granted over the option price (determined as of the date the option is granted).
The amount recognized as ordinary compensation income will increase the
employee's basis in such shares. Any additional gain or any loss resulting from
the disposition will be taxed as long-term capital gain or loss. The Company
will not be entitled to any deduction with respect to the Stock Purchase Plan,
except in connection with a disqualifying disposition as discussed below.
 
     In order for an employee to receive the favorable tax treatment provided in
Section 421(a) of the Code, Section 423(a) requires that the employee make no
disposition of the Common Stock within two years from the date the option was
granted nor within one year from the date the option was exercised and the
Common Stock transferred to him. If an employee disposes of Common Stock
acquired pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan before the expiration of these
holding period requirements, the employee will recognize, at the time of the
disposition, ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess of
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the Common Stock was
purchased (i.e., the date the option was exercised) over the option price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the employee is subject to Section 16 at the
time of the disqualifying disposition, the acquisition date of the shares and
the time of recognition of income will be postponed, unless the employee elects
to be taxed immediately. In addition, the amount of income recognized will be
the difference between the option price and the fair market value of such shares
at the end of the postponement period (rather than at the date of exercise).
(See "Approval of the Company's 1993 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option
Plan -- Federal Income Tax Consequences" above for a discussion of when the sale
of stock received pursuant to the exercise of a stock option could subject an
insider to suit for "short swing profit.") The amount recognized as ordinary
compensation income will increase the employee's tax basis in such shares. Any
gain or loss resulting from the disposition (i.e., the difference between the
amount received by the employee and the employee's basis in the transferred
shares) will be taxed as capital gain or loss. At the time of the disposition,
the Company would be allowed a deduction equal to the amount included in the
employee's income as ordinary compensation income.
 
     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to
vote and present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders is
required for approval of the Stock Purchase Plan.
 
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE STOCK PURCHASE
PLAN.

                      PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S
                              1989 INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     The Board of Directors has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an
amendment to the 1989 Incentive Plan of Bally Manufacturing Corporation (the
"Incentive Plan") to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for
use upon the exercise of awards to be granted from time to time under the
Incentive Plan to an aggregate of 6,022,000 shares. The current number of shares
of Common Stock reserved in connection with the Incentive Plan is 4,000,000.
 
     The Board of Directors has also adopted, subject to stockholder approval,
an additional amendment which would limit the number of options, stock
appreciation rights ("SARs") or options in tandem with SARs that may be granted
during any one calendar year to the Company's chief executive officer and
certain other highly compensated executives of the Company. The amendment states
that no such executive officer may be granted options, SARs or options in tandem
with SARs to acquire more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock during any one
calendar year.
 
     The amendment relating to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved is
proposed and was adopted by the Board of Directors in the belief that the
Incentive Plan is accomplishing its goal of providing additional incentive to
persons who can contribute significantly to the success of the business of the
Company and that the Company should be in a position to continue to make grants.
During 1993, the Company granted stock options pursuant to the Incentive Plan,
subject to stockholder approval of the amendment, as follows: Mr. Goldberg,
options to purchase 450,000 shares; Mr. Hillman, options to purchase 100,000
shares; Mr. Barr, options to purchase 50,000 shares; Mr. Lucci, options to
purchase 75,000 shares; Mr. Conover, options to purchase 10,000 shares; all
current executive officers as a group, options to purchase 711,500 shares; and
all employees, including current officers who are not executive officers, as a
group, options to purchase 441,000 shares. The Company anticipates making
additional stock option grants or other awards in the future, thus making it
necessary to amend the Incentive Plan by increasing the number of shares
available under the Incentive Plan. The options granted under the Incentive Plan
subject to stockholder approval have not vested. As of March 1, 1994, the
closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Transactions Tape was $8.625.
 
     For fiscal years of the Company commencing on or after January 1, 1994,
Section 162(m) of the Code will generally limit the Company's deduction for
compensation paid to each of its five highest paid executive officers to $1
million per year, except to the extent that the compensation is
"performance-based compensation." Recently proposed Treasury regulations under
Section 162(m) provide that stock options issued pursuant to a plan may not be
treated as performance based compensation unless the plan is subject to
stockholder approval and contains, among other things, a limitation on the
number of shares that may be issued thereunder to a particular employee during a
specified period. Accordingly, the Plan has been amended, subject to stockholder
approval, to provide that neither the chief executive officer of the Company nor
any other employee whose total compensation for a particular calendar year is
required to be reported to the Company's stockholders pursuant to the Exchange
Act by reason of such employee being the chief executive officer or being among
the other four most highly compensated officers for such calendar year may be
issued options, SARs or options in tandem with SARs to acquire more than
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock under the Incentive Plan in any one calendar
year.
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     On March 9, 1989, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
Incentive Plan subject to approval by the Company's stockholders. The
stockholders of the Company approved the Incentive Plan on May 4, 1989 and
approved an amendment to the Incentive Plan on June 16, 1992.
 
     The Incentive Plan is intended to encourage ownership of the Company's
Common Stock by officers and other key employees of the Company, to encourage
their continued employment with the Company and to provide them with additional
incentives to promote the success of the Company.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   25
 
     The complete text of the Incentive Plan is attached as Exhibit C to this
Proxy Statement. The following summary of the Incentive Plan does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit C.
 
     The Incentive Plan authorizes the grant to officers and key employees of
awards ("Awards") consisting of "incentive stock options," as that term is
defined under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock
options, SARs, stock depreciation rights ("SDRs") and restricted stock awards.
There are presently 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock available for granting
awards under the Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee administers the
Incentive Plan and has sole discretion to determine those employees to whom
Awards will be granted, the number of Awards granted, the provisions applicable
to each Award and the time periods during which Awards may be exercisable.
 
     The Compensation Committee may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified
stock options, or a combination of the two. The exercise price of each incentive
stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at
the date of grant. Under the Incentive Plan, fair market value is generally the
closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last
business day prior to the date on which the value is to be determined. Unless
the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, the option price per share of
any non-qualified stock option shall be the fair market value of the shares of
Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of each
incentive stock option granted to any stockholder possessing more than 10% of
the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company, or, if
applicable, a parent or subsidiary of the Company, on the date of grant must not
be less than 110% of the fair market value on that date, and no such option may
be exercisable more than five years after the date of grant.
 
     Options granted will be exercisable for a term of not more than 10 years
from the date of grant and no option granted in tandem with an SAR will
generally be exercisable during the first six months following the date of
grant. In addition, no employee may be granted an incentive stock option to the
extent the aggregate fair market value, as of the date of grant, of the stock
with respect to which incentive stock options are first exercisable by such
employee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000.
 
     An SAR is a right granted to an employee to receive shares of Common Stock
or cash, or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the SAR is exercised
over (b) the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the SAR
was granted or, if granted in tandem with an option, at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee, the option price of the shares subject to the option.
SARs may be granted in tandem with an option or on a stand alone basis.
 
     Each SAR granted in tandem with an option is exercisable only to the extent
the related option is exercisable. SARs granted on a stand alone basis are
exercisable for a term determined by the Compensation Committee. Those SARs
which are granted in tandem with incentive stock options are not exercisable
unless the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of
exercise exceeds the option price and in no event may the amounts paid pursuant
to the SAR exceed the difference between the fair market value of the shares on
the date of exercise and the option price.
 
     Under the terms of the Incentive Plan, an SDR is a right granted to an
employee in conjunction with an option to receive a payment of shares of Common
Stock or cash, or a combination thereof, equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the
option price of a share of Common Stock acquired on exercise of the related
option, over (b) the greater of (i) the fair market value, as of the date six
months and one day after the option was exercised (or such other date as the
Compensation Committee, in its discretion, shall determine), of the share of
Common Stock acquired on such exercise, or (ii) if such share was sold prior to
such date, the gross sales proceeds from the sale of such share of Common Stock.
The Compensation Committee has discretion to determine the terms of an SDR,
including, but not limited to, the determination of whether payment of the SDR
will be made in cash, Common Stock, or a combination thereof. To date, the
Compensation Committee has granted no SDRs pursuant to the Incentive Plan and
has no present intention of making any such grants in the future.
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   26
 
     Restricted stock awards are rights granted by the Compensation Committee to
receive shares of Common Stock subject to forfeiture and other restrictions
determined by the Compensation Committee. Until the restrictions with respect to
any restricted stock award lapse, the shares will be held by the Company and may
not be sold or otherwise transferred by the employee. Except as otherwise
determined by the Compensation Committee, until the restrictions lapse, the
shares will be forfeited if the employee's employment is terminated for any
reason. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, one-fifth of the
shares subject to a restricted stock award shall vest on the first anniversary
of the date of grant, an additional one-fifth of the shares subject to the
restricted stock award shall vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant
and the balance of the shares subject to the restricted stock award shall vest
on the third anniversary of the date of grant.
 
     The Company will make cash payments to an employee who receives an Award of
restricted stock in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of federal, state
and local income taxes which such employee would be required to pay as a result
of the receipt or vesting of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Award of
restricted stock.
 
     Awards granted under the Incentive Plan will be subject to adjustment upon
a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization,
liquidation, extraordinary dividend, or other similar event affecting the Common
Stock. An Award will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution and an Award may be exercised, during the lifetime of
the holder of the Award, only by the holder.
 
     In the case of a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in the
Incentive Plan), each Award granted under the Incentive Plan will terminate 90
days after the occurrence of such "change in control," but, in the event of any
such termination (i) an option, SAR or SDR holder will generally have the right,
commencing at least five days prior to the "change in control" and subject to
any other limitation on the exercise of the option, SAR or SDR in effect on the
date of exercise, to immediately exercise any options, SARs or SDRs in full to
the extent they previously have not been exercised, and (ii) restricted stock
awards will vest and any required cash payment will be made.
 
     The Incentive Plan will terminate on March 9, 1999, and Awards shall not be
granted under the Incentive Plan after that date although the terms of any Award
may be amended in accordance with the Incentive Plan at any date prior to the
end of the term of such Award. Any Awards outstanding at the time of termination
of the Incentive Plan will continue in full force and effect according to the
terms and conditions of the Award and the Incentive Plan.
 
     The Incentive Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors, provided that
stockholder approval will be necessary as required under Section 422 of the Code
or Rule 16b-3, and provided, further, that no amendment may impair any rights of
any holder of an Award previously granted under the Incentive Plan without the
holder's consent.
 
     For fiscal years of the Company commencing on or after January 1, 1994,
Section 162(m) of the Code will generally limit to $1 million the Company's
federal income tax deduction for compensation paid in any year to its chief
executive officer and its four highest paid executive officers, to the extent
that such compensation is not "performance-based". Under recently proposed
Treasury regulations, and subject to certain transition rules, a stock option
will, in general, qualify as "performance based" compensation if (i) it has an
exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on
the date of grant, (ii) it is granted under a plan that limits the number of
shares for which options may be granted to a participant, which plan is approved
by a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and (iii) it is
granted by a compensation committee consisting solely of at least two
independent directors. Awards of restricted stock, however, will not generally
qualify as "performance based" compensation unless the vesting or purchase of
the restricted stock is contingent upon satisfying a separate performance goal.
If a stock option grant or restricted stock award to an executive referred to
above is not "performance based," the amount that would otherwise be deductible
by the Company in respect of such option grant or award will be disallowed to
the extent that the executive's aggregate non-performance based compensation
paid in the relevant year exceeds $1 million.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS
 
     The issuance of a non-qualified stock option under the Incentive Plan will
not result in any taxable income to the recipient employee or a tax deduction to
the Company at the time of grant. Generally, an employee to whom a non-qualified
stock option has been granted will recognize ordinary income at the time the
employee exercises the option and receives shares of Common Stock in an amount
equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares on the date of
exercise over the option price.
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock
option by a person subject to Section 16, the acquisition date of the shares of
Common Stock for federal income tax purposes and the time of recognition of
income will be postponed as long as the sale of the shares of Common Stock could
subject the person to suit under the "short swing profit" provisions of Section
16, unless such person elects to be taxed on the date of exercise. Furthermore,
the amount of income recognized by the recipient employee will be the excess of
the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock at the end of the
postponement period (rather than at the date of exercise) over the option price.
(See "Approval of the Company's 1993 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option
Plan -- Federal Income Tax Consequences" for a discussion of options and Section
16).
 
     The Company is entitled to a tax deduction corresponding to the amount of
income recognized by the employee as a result of the exercise of a non-qualified
stock option for the year in which the employee recognizes such income for
federal income tax purposes.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS
 
     Neither the receipt nor exercise of an incentive stock option is a taxable
event to the employee, and if the recipient employee does not dispose of the
shares of Common Stock acquired under an incentive stock option prior to the
expiration of the requisite holding periods described below, any gain resulting
from the sale of such shares will be long-term capital gain. In such case, the
Company would not be entitled to any tax deduction with respect to the grant or
exercise of the option. The difference between the fair market value of the
shares of the Common Stock on the date of exercise and the option price is a tax
preference item which may cause the employee to incur an alternative minimum tax
in the year of exercise. The minimum statutory holding periods are two years
from the date the option is granted and one year from the date the employee
receives his shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the incentive
stock option. The statutory holding period for incentive stock options is waived
in the event of the employee's death.
 
     If the shares of Common Stock are disposed of before the end of either of
such statutory holding periods (a "disqualifying disposition"), the lesser of
(i) the difference between the option price and the fair market value of such
shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the total amount of gain realized on the
sale must be reported by the employee as ordinary income and the Company would
be entitled to a tax deduction in that amount. The remaining gain, if any, would
be taxed to the employee as capital gain.
 
     The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 increased both (i) the rate
differential between ordinary income and capital gains for certain high income
taxpayers and (ii) the alternative minimum tax rate for individuals.
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the employee is subject to Section 16 at
the time of a disqualifying disposition, the acquisition date of the shares and
the time of recognition of income will be postponed as long as the sale of
shares could subject the employee to suit for "short swing profit," unless he
elects to be taxed immediately. In addition, the amount of income recognized
will be the lesser of (i) the difference between the option price and the fair
market value of such shares at the end of the postponement period (rather than
at the date of exercise), or (ii) the total amount of gain realized on the sale.
(See "Approval of the Company's 1993 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option
Plan -- Federal Income Tax Consequences" for a discussion of options and Section
16.)
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
 
     Generally, an employee to whom a restricted stock award is made will
recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to
the excess of the fair market value of the shares of
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   28
 
Common Stock received at the time the shares first become transferable or are no
longer subject to forfeiture over the purchase price, if any, paid by the
employee for such Common Stock, and such amount will then be deductible for
federal income tax purposes by the Company. For tax purposes, in addition to
other restrictions, the Common Stock is considered to be subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture as long as the sale of the shares could subject
the employee to suit under the "short swing profit" provisions of Section 16.
Alternatively, if the recipient of a restricted stock or stock bonus award so
elects, the recipient will recognize ordinary income on the date of grant in an
amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Common
Stock (without taking into account any lapse restrictions) on such date, over
the purchase price, if any, paid by the employee for such Common Stock, and such
amount will then be deductible by the Company. In the event of the forfeiture of
the Common Stock included in a restricted stock award, the employee will not be
entitled to any deduction except to the extent the employee paid for such Common
Stock. Upon a sale of the Common Stock included in the restricted stock award,
the employee will recognize capital gain or loss, as the case may be, equal to
the difference between the amount realized from such sale and the employee's tax
basis for such shares of Common Stock.
 
     Under Section 16, the grant of restricted stock award pursuant to the
Incentive Plan will generally be exempt from the "short swing profit" provisions
only if the Common Stock is held at least six months prior to its sale.
Therefore, the taxation of a restricted stock award to a Section 16 person will
generally be deferred for such six-month period unless the Section 16 person
elects to be taxed immediately. The vesting of restricted stock is exempt for
Section 16 purposes.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- SARS AND SDRS
 
     A recipient employee will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of an
SAR or SDR, as the case may be. The employee will generally recognize ordinary
income for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the amount of cash
and/or the then fair market value of the shares of Common Stock received upon
exercise of the SAR or SDR, in the tax year in which payment is made in respect
of an SAR or SDR, and the Company will normally be entitled to a tax deduction
for an equivalent amount for the same year. However, if a Section 16 person
receives shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an SAR or SDR, the
acquisition date of the shares of Common Stock for federal income tax purposes,
and the time and measurement of recognition of income, will be postponed as long
as a sale of the shares of Common Stock could subject the employee to suit under
the "short swing profit" provisions of Section 16, unless the employee elects to
be taxed on the date he receives the shares of Common Stock. Generally, under
the Section 16 regulations, the sale of shares of Common Stock within six months
following exercise of an SAR or SDR paid in shares of Common Stock will
generally not subject the Section 16 person to a suit under the "short swing
profit" provisions of Section 16 assuming the aggregate holding period of the
SAR or SDR and any underlying shares of Common Stock is at least six months. In
the event taxation is postponed, the amount of income recognized by the employee
will be the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock at the end of the
postponement period.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- CASH GROSS-UP PAYMENTS
 
     Any cash payment received in conjunction with an Award of restricted stock
under the Incentive Plan will be taxed to the employee as ordinary income at the
time he receives it, and the Company will be entitled, subject to the
limitations of Section 280G of the Code, to a corresponding tax deduction at
such time.

(a) All options granted under the Incentive Plan, and subject to stockholder
    approval, have been granted at the exercise price of $9.625 per share (the
    fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant). The
    actual value, if any, that a person may realize will depend on the excess of
    the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised.
    As of March 1, 1994, the closing price of a share of Common Stock as
    reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Tape was
    $8.625.

           STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING THE LONG-TERM COMPENSATION
            AWARDS PORTION OF THE COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
     An individual stockholder has notified the Company of his intention to
introduce the proposal set forth below for consideration and action by the
stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The name and address of the proponent and
the number of shares of Common Stock he holds will be furnished by the Company
to any person, orally or in writing as requested, promptly upon the receipt of
any oral or written request to Carol Stone DePaul, Secretary, Bally
Manufacturing Corporation, 8700 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60631,
telephone (312) 399-1300. The proposed resolution and statement of reasons were
provided by the proponent. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the votes entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders is required for approval of the proposal.

          "RESOLVED, that the shareholders recommend that the Board take
     the necessary steps to revise the Long-Term Compensation Awards
     portion of the Compensation of Executive Officers to provide that such
     Long-Term Compensation may not exceed one-half of one percent of the
     Company's net income for the year, and that it be eliminated in any
     year in which the Company reduces or omits a dividend on its Common
     Stock."
 
     The statement made in support of this proposal is as follows:
 
          "The summary compensation table of the annual report indicates
     that members of senior management have up to five different categories
     of compensation: salary, bonus, other annual compensation, long-term
     compensation awards, and all other compensation. At a time when
     shareholders have suffered under a substantial subpar 5 year
     performance level of the total cumulative return on investment, senior
     management continues to receive extraordinarily high levels of
     compensation relative to shareholder return. During the current period
     of financial sacrifice where the shareholders are no longer receiving
     the small dividend paid for many years, the Executive Officers should
     share in the financial sacrifices necessary to rebuild the financial
     strength of the Company."
 
          "The resolution proposed is a part of at least one other large
     corporation's Long-Term Incentive Plan (i.e., Con Edison)."
 
          "If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution."
 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE TO STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
 
     Based upon its review of the foregoing proposal and statement of support,
it is the Company's belief that the proponent asserts that cash payments to
executive officers should be limited when the Company is not paying dividends.
The Company believes that the proposal, if adopted by the stockholders, would
not accomplish the proponent's intended purpose. While the proposal states that
executive officers receive five different categories of compensation, the
Company notes that the number and specific categories of compensation set forth
in the proxy statement are dictated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not necessarily reflect the Company's view. THE LONG-TERM
COMPENSATION CATEGORY FROM THE PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS HELD ON MAY 5, 1993 UPON WHICH THE PROPONENT FOCUSES, AS WELL AS
THE LONG-TERM COMPENSATION CATEGORY INCLUDED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, ARE
COMPRISED ENTIRELY OF GRANTS OF OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND
DO NOT INCLUDE ANY CASH PAYMENTS. It is the view of the Compensation Committee
that one of the best incentives executive officers can be given to increase
stockholder value is the award of stock options. This is consistent with the
Company's philosophy regarding compensation which is set forth in the
Compensation Committee's report which appears earlier in this Proxy Statement.
Such awards have the added benefit to the Company of not requiring any cash
payments. With respect to management's performance, refer to the graph on page
15 which summarizes the Company's performance from October 12, 1990, through
December 31, 1993 (i.e., a 183% cumulative return to stockholders).
 
     For the reasons set forth above, the Board of Directors opposes the
foregoing stockholder proposal.
 
        THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL.
 
                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     Several purported derivative actions against the Company and certain of its
current and former directors, originally filed in December 1990 and January
1991, have been consolidated under the caption In re: BALLY MANUFACTURING
CORPORATION SHAREHOLDERS LITIGATION in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware, New Castle County. The consolidated complaint alleges, among other
things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate mismanagement, and waste of
corporate assets in connection with certain actions including, among other
things, payment of compensation, certain acquisitions by the Company, the
dissemination of allegedly materially false and misleading information, the
proposed restructuring of the Company's debt, and a subsidiary's allegedly
discriminatory practices. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, (i)
injunctions against
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   31
 
payment of certain termination compensation benefits and implementation of the
proposed restructuring plan, (ii) rescission of consummated transactions and a
declaration that the complained of transactions are null and void, (iii) an
accounting by individual defendants of damages to the Company and benefits
received by such defendants, (iv) the appointment of a representative to
negotiate on behalf of the stockholders in connection with any proposed
restructuring, and (v) costs and disbursements, including a reasonable allowance
for the fees and expenses of plaintiffs' attorneys, accountants and experts.
 
                          TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT
 
ARRANGEMENTS WITH MR. GILLMAN
 
     The Company, Park Place and Mr. Richard Gillman, the former President and
Chief Operating Officer of the Company, entered into an employment agreement
(the "Gillman Employment Agreement") effective as of July l, 1991 for a
three-year term at an annual base salary of $2,200,000, plus bonuses, payable at
the discretion of the Compensation Committee. A previous employment agreement
among Mr. Gillman, Bally's Park Place, Inc. and Bally's Grand -- Atlantic City
established Mr. Gillman's participation in a supplemental executive retirement
plan with terms similar to the Park Place SERP (the "Gillman SERP"). Mr. Gillman
was entitled to receive an annual benefit under the Gillman SERP equal to 3.33%
of Average Compensation for each year of service up to 17 years of service,
reduced by benefits payable after retirement from the Park Place profit sharing
plan (not including amounts attributable to contributions made by Mr. Gillman or
on his behalf through salary reduction), Social Security and other retirement or
contractual compensation arrangements with the Company or its affiliates.
Benefits under the Gillman SERP were payable to Mr. Gillman on retirement
commencing at any time after age 55. Mr. Gillman would have been eligible to
receive those benefits if he had retired upon expiration of his prior employment
agreement on December 31, 1990. Instead, he agreed to enter into the Gillman
Employment Agreement and release all of his rights and those of his estate under
the Gillman SERP in exchange for Park Place agreeing to pay Mr. Gillman a
discounted value of the Gillman SERP benefits over a five-year period. In
accordance with that agreement, Mr. Gillman received a payment of $2 million in
1991 and payments totalling $7 million in 1992, leaving approximately $18.6
million unpaid.
 
     On January 8, 1993, the Company, Park Place and Mr. Gillman entered into a
Retirement and Separation Agreement (the "Retirement Agreement"). Pursuant to
the terms of the Retirement Agreement, Mr. Gillman agreed to retire and resign
from all of his positions of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries
including Park Place, to the termination of the Gillman Employment Agreement and
to a covenant not-to-compete. The Company and Park Place agreed to pay $1
million in exchange for all other benefits and payments (including salary and
bonus) otherwise provided to Mr. Gillman under the Gillman Employment Agreement
and $13.5 million in lieu of the remaining aforementioned $18.6 million due to
Mr. Gillman under the Gillman Employment Agreement. The Company also agreed to
the immediate vesting of stock options to purchase 666,666 shares of Common
Stock previously granted to Mr. Gillman. The Company also gave Mr. Gillman title
to an automobile provided by the Company and used by Mr. Gillman during his
employment. In addition, the Company agreed to provide Mr. Gillman with 12
months of medical and health insurance benefits in lieu of "COBRA" entitlements.
In connection with the Retirement Agreement, the Company, Park Place and Mr.
Gillman also executed general releases from liability in respect of each other.
 
ARRANGEMENTS WITH MR. WILDMAN
 
     Pursuant to the agreements by which all of the outstanding capital stock of
Health & Tennis Corporation of America ("HTCA") was acquired by BHTC, an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in April 1983, Mr. Wildman
entered into employment contracts with HTCA expiring December 31, 1987 (which
term was originally extended for three years through 1990 and later extended
through 1993). As of January 1, 1990, the employment agreement of Mr. Wildman
provided for him to receive an annual base salary of $500,000 for the years 1990
through 1993. Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Wildman was to also receive
incentive compensation for each year equal to (i) $24,000 for each 1% over 50%
of the annual goal for pre-tax profit achieved by BHTC and (ii) an additional
$16,000 for each 1% over 50% of the annual goal for cash flow achieved by BHTC.
The annual goal for pre-tax profit (as defined in the employment agreement)
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   32
 
achieved was $120.2 million and $132.3 million, and the annual goal for cash
flow (as defined in the employment agreement) achieved was $111.3 million and
$122.4 million for 1992 and 1993, respectively. Mr. Wildman's agreement also
provided for participation in BHTC's other executive benefit plans. Previously,
Mr. Wildman agreed to receive a bonus at the discretion of the Board of
Directors of BHTC in lieu of his formula incentive compensation for 1991.
 
     As of September 30, 1993, BHTC and Mr. Wildman entered into a Consulting
Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting
Agreement, Mr. Wildman and BHTC agreed that the Employment Agreement dated April
6, 1983, as extended and amended, by and between HTCA and Mr. Wildman had, as of
October 1, 1993, been terminated with neither party having any further
obligations pursuant thereto. Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement,
Mr. Wildman resigned from his employment with BHTC and all of its subsidiaries
as of September 30, 1993 and agreed to a covenant not-to-compete. BHTC agreed to
engage Mr. Wildman as a consultant for a period of one year, ending on September
30, 1994; however, the term may be extended for additional one-year periods,
upon the same terms and conditions, by the written agreement of Mr. Wildman and
BHTC. For Mr. Wildman's services pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, BHTC
agreed to pay Mr. Wildman the sum of $250,000 per year and agreed to continue to
make the monthly lease payments through February 1994 on the automobile
previously provided by BHTC to Mr. Wildman. Consulting fees paid to Mr. Wildman
in 1993 totalled $68,269.
 
OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT
 
     Mr. Wildman and Mr. Lucci have interests in real estate, or entities owning
real estate, that are leased to HTCA for fitness centers. Mr. Wildman's
interests range from approximately 17% to 50% in eight locations, while Mr.
Lucci has interests which range from approximately 17% to 25% in four of the
eight locations. Mr. Wildman's interests are held by Mr. Wildman individually or
by the Wildman Family Trust, of which Mr. Wildman is sole trustee and in which
he has a two-thirds beneficial interest. These arrangements were created prior
to the Company's acquisition of HTCA. The Company believes that the terms of
these leases are at least as favorable to the Company as those which could be
obtained from unrelated parties. In 1993, payments by HTCA under these leases
totalled approximately $1,616,000, of which $1,079,000 was made under leases in
which Mr. Lucci had an ownership interest.
 
     In 1981, prior to the Company's acquisition of HTCA, Mr. Wildman acquired
12.5% of the outstanding stock of H.I. Holding Corp. ("Holding") which, through
subsidiaries, presently owns or controls fitness centers in various locations in
the United States. Certain HTCA subsidiaries operate, as of December 31, 1993,
14 of these fitness centers under agreements with various subsidiaries of
Holding and pay fees and building rentals to these Holding subsidiaries while
retaining all revenue generated by these centers. The aggregate amount of such
rentals and fees paid by HTCA subsidiaries was approximately $919,000 in 1993.
The Company believes that the terms of these agreements are at least as
favorable to the Company as those which could be obtained from unrelated
parties.
 
     In 1993, the Company reimbursed Di Giorgio Corporation approximately
$224,000 for certain indirect administrative expenses. The amount of the
reimbursement is intended to replace the portion of such expenses directly
benefiting the Company. Mr. Goldberg is the beneficial owner of approximately
50% of the voting securities of Di Giorgio Corporation. A partnership in which
Messrs. Goldberg, Lucci and Wildman are each 20% limited partners purchased a
facility in Texas from the Federal Deposit Insurance Company. BHTC leases this
facility for one of its fitness centers. The rent paid by BHTC did not change as
a result of this transfer and, until August 1993, was approximately $58,000 per
month. Pursuant to the lease for this facility, in August 1993 the rent was
increased to approximately $67,000 per month and is subject to additional 15%
increases at five and ten year intervals. During 1993, BHTC paid approximately
$2,700,000 for goods and services from two companies which employed a relative
of Mr. Hillman. Based on BHTC's receipt of competitive bids for similar items,
BHTC believes that the terms of these arrangements are at least as favorable to
BHTC as those which could be obtained from unrelated parties. During 1993, the
law firm of Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff rendered legal services to
the Company and its subsidiaries. Mr. Aronoff, a director of the Company, is a
partner in this law firm. The Company plans to retain this firm during the
current year.

the use of the mail, proxy solicitation may be made by telephone, telegraph and
personal interviews by regular employees of the Company. The Company has

plus out-of-pocket expenses for such services. The Company will also reimburse

          6.3 TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP.  In the event a Director ceases to be
     a member of the Board (other than by reason of death or disability), then:
 
             (a) an Option may be exercised by the Director (to the extent that
        the Director was entitled to do so at the termination of his
        directorship) at any time within the later of (i) three (3) months after
        he ceases to be a member of the Board, and (ii) nine (9) months after
        the most recent grant of an Option to the Director pursuant to the Plan,
        but not beyond the Term of the Option, and

     payment in full of the purchase price of any Shares to be purchased, which
     payment shall be made in cash or by certificates of Shares held for more
     than six (6) months, duly endorsed in blank, equal in value to the purchase
     price of the Shares to be purchased based on their Fair Market Value at the
     time of exercise or a combination thereof. No Shares shall be issued upon
     exercise of an Option until full payment has been made therefor. All
     notices or requests provided for herein shall be delivered to the Treasurer
     of the Company. No fractional Shares shall be issued.
 
          7.2 CASHLESS EXERCISE PROCEDURES.  The Company, in its sole

     requirements of Regulation T, federal income tax laws, and other federal,
     state and local tax and securities laws, can exercise an Option or a
     portion thereof without making a direct payment of the option price to the
     Company. If the Company elects to establish a cashless exercise program, a
     Director may utilize such program but only in accordance with such
     administrative procedures and policies as the Company deems appropriate and
     such procedures and policies shall be binding on any Director wishing to
     utilize the cashless exercise program.

the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to purchase or

and the payment in full of the purchase price therefor.

disability, the holder's personal representative, or (b) pursuant to a qualified
domestic relation order, as defined in the Code or ERISA or the rules
thereunder.

all of the outstanding Shares by reason of stock dividends, stock splits,
reclassifications, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, or
exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations, or similar
events, or in the

available under the Plan in the aggregate, the number and class of Shares
subject to Options theretofore granted, applicable purchase prices and all other
applicable provisions, shall, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be
equitably adjusted by the Committee (which adjustment may, but need not, include
payment to the holder of an Option, in cash or in shares, in an amount equal to
the difference between the price at which such Option may be exercised and the
then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Option as equitably
determined by the Committee). The foregoing adjustment and the manner of
application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined by the Committee, in
its sole discretion. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any
fractional share which might otherwise become subject to an Option.

in any Option Agreement, in the case of a Change in Control of the Company, each
Option granted under the Plan shall terminate on the later of (i) ninety (90)
days after the occurrence of such Change in Control, and (ii) seven (7) months
following the date of grant of each such Option, and an Option holder shall have
the right, commencing at least five (5) days prior to such Change in Control and
subject to any other limitation on exercise of an Option in effect on the date
of exercise, to immediately exercise any Option in full, without regard to any
vesting limitations, to the extent it shall not have been previously exercised.
 
     12. FORMS OF OPTIONS.  An Option shall be granted hereunder on the date or
dates specified in the Plan. Whenever the Plan provides for the receipt of an
Option by a Director, the Secretary or the President of the Company, or such
other person as the Committee shall appoint, shall forthwith send notice thereof
to the Director, in such form as the Committee shall approve, stating the number
of Shares subject to the Option, its Term, and the other terms and conditions
thereof. The notice shall be accompanied by a written Option Agreement, in such
form as may from time to time hereafter be approved by the Committee, which
shall have been duly executed by or on behalf of the Company. Execution by the
Director to whom such Option is granted of said Option Agreement in accordance
with the provisions set forth in this Plan shall be a condition precedent to the
exercise of any Option.
 
     13. TAXES.  The Company shall have the right to require a person entitled
to receive Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option under the Plan to pay
the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company is or will be required to

Shares is delivered pursuant to the Option.
 
     14. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall terminate five (5) years from
the Effective Date, and an Option shall not be granted under the Plan after that
date although the terms of any Option may be amended at any date prior to the

amended more than once every six (6) months to change the Plan provisions listed
in section (c)(2)(ii)(A) of Rule 16b-3 of the General Rules and Regulations of
the Exchange Act, other than to comport with changes in the Code, ERISA or Rule
16b-3. Notwithstanding any discretionary authority granted to the Committee in
Section 4 of the Plan, no amendment of the Plan or any Option granted under the
Plan shall impair any of the rights of any holder, without the holder's consent,
under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.
 
     16. DELIVERY OF SHARES ON EXERCISE.  Delivery of certificates for Shares
pursuant to an Option exercise may be postponed by the Company for such period
as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with any
applicable requirements of any federal, state or local law or regulation or any
administrative or quasi-administrative requirement applicable to the sale,
issuance, distribution or delivery of such Shares. The Committee may, in its
sole discretion, require a Director to furnish the Company with appropriate
representations and a written investment letter prior to the exercise of an
Option or the delivery of any Shares pursuant thereto.

to participate. After completing, signing and filing a Subscription Agreement
and any other necessary papers in accordance with the preceding sentence, an
Employee shall be deemed to have
 
                                       B-3
<PAGE>   43
 
become a participant in the Plan for each subsequent offering until the Employee
withdraws from the Plan in accordance with Section 14 hereof, is deemed to have
withdrawn from the Plan in accordance with Section 19 hereof, or otherwise gives
written notice of his intent to withdraw to such person as the Committee may
designate. Except as otherwise provided in Section 14, if an Employee desires to
change the percentage of his Eligible Compensation to be withheld and applied to
the purchase of Shares, or if an Employee who withdraws from the Plan desires to
re-enter the Plan, he must file a new Subscription Agreement in accordance with
this Section 7 at least ten (10) days prior to the Offering Commencement Date of
the particular offering to which such change or re-entry is intended to apply.
An Employee's re-entry into the Plan cannot become effective before the
beginning of the next offering following his withdrawal; provided, however, if
an Employee is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, his re-entry into
the Plan must comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 for all transactions
under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Participation in one offering under the Plan shall neither limit nor require
participation in any other offering.
 
     8. GRANT OF OPTIONS.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6
and 9 of the Plan, on the Offering Commencement Date of each offering made under
the Plan, each Employee who has previously elected to participate in the Plan
shall automatically be granted an Option for as many full Shares as he will be
able to purchase with the payroll deductions credited to his Account during the
Purchase Period of that offering. In the event the total maximum number of
Shares resulting from all elections to purchase under any offering of Shares
made under the Plan exceeds the number of Shares offered, the Company reserves
the right to reduce the maximum number of Shares which Employees may purchase
pursuant to their elections to purchase, to allot the Shares available in such
manner as it shall determine (subject to the requirements of Section 423 of the
Code), but generally pro rata to subscriptions received, and to grant Options to
purchase only for such reduced number of Shares. Notice of any such reduction
shall be given to each participating Employee. In the event an Employee's
election to purchase Shares pursuant to an offering made under the Plan is
cancelled, in whole or in part, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, a
proportionate portion of the Option granted to such Employee shall automatically
terminate.
 
     9. LIMITATIONS OF NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH MAY BE PURCHASED.  The following
limitations shall apply with respect to the number of Shares which may be
purchased by each Employee who elects to participate in an offering made under
the Plan:
 
          (a) No Employee may purchase, or elect to purchase, Shares during any
     one offering pursuant to the Plan for an aggregate purchase price in excess
     of ten percent (10%) of his Eligible Compensation during the Purchase
     Period applicable to such offering.
 
          (b) No Employee shall be granted an Option to purchase Shares under
     the Plan if such Employee immediately after such Option is granted, owns
     stock (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, and including
     stock subject to purchase under any outstanding options) possessing five
     percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all
     classes of stock of the Company or, if applicable, any Subsidiary or, if
     applicable, a Parent.
 
          (c) No Employee shall be granted an Option to purchase Shares which
     permits his right to purchase stock under the Plan and all other employee
     stock purchase plans of the Company and, if applicable, a Subsidiary, and,
     if applicable, a Parent, to accrue (as determined under Section 423(b)(8)
     of the Code) at a rate which exceeds ($25,000) of fair market value of such
     stock (determined on the date the Option to purchase is granted) for each
     calendar year in which such Option is outstanding at any time.
 
     10. EXERCISE PRICE.  Unless the Committee, in its discretion, determines to
set a higher per Share exercise price, the per Share exercise price for Shares
subject to purchase under Options granted pursuant to an offering made under the
Plan shall be an amount equal to the lesser of (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of
the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Offering Commencement Date, and (b)
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Offering
Termination Date.
 
     11. METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Payment of the exercise price of any Option granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be made in installments through payroll deductions,
with no right of prepayment. Each Employee electing to
 
                                       B-4
<PAGE>   44
 
participate in an offering of Shares made under the Plan shall authorize the
Company pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan to withhold a designated amount from
his regular weekly, bi-weekly, semimonthly or monthly pay for each payroll
period during the Purchase Period, which amount, expressed as a percentage, may
not exceed ten percent (10%) of his Eligible Compensation. All such payroll
deductions made for an Employee shall be credited to his Account. An Employee
may not make any separate cash payments into his Account, nor may payment for
Shares be made other than by payroll deduction. No interest shall accrue on the
amounts credited to an Employee's Account pursuant to this Section 11.
 
     12. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  As of the close of business on the Offering
Termination Date of any offering of Shares made under the Plan, each outstanding
Option shall automatically be exercised. Subject to the limitations in Sections
6, 8 and 9 of the Plan, upon the exercise of an Option, the aggregate amount of
the payroll deductions credited to the Account of each Employee as of that date
will automatically be applied to the exercise price for the purchase of that
number of Shares, rounded to the nearest whole share, equal to the Account
balance divided by the exercise price. A certificate representing the Shares so
purchased shall be delivered to the Employee or the Employee's Successor, or, in
the Committee's discretion, to a brokerage account established for the benefit
of the Employee or the Employee's Successor (which contains such terms and
conditions as the Committee may designate), as soon as reasonably practicable
after the exercise of the Option. Unless an Employee notifies the Company in
writing not to carry over the balance of his Account to the next offering, the
Company shall carry over the balance of his Account to the next offering. Upon
termination of the Plan, the balance of each Employee's Account shall be
returned to him.
 
     13. RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.  An Employee will become a stockholder of the
Company with respect to Shares for which payment has been received at the close
of business on the Offering Termination Date. An Employee will have no rights as
a stockholder with respect to Shares under an election to purchase Shares until
he has become a stockholder as provided above.
 
     14. CANCELLATION OF ELECTION TO PURCHASE.  An Employee who has elected to
purchase Shares pursuant to any offering made under the Plan may cancel his
election in its entirety or may partially cancel his election (as set forth in
his Subscription Agreement) by reducing the percentage amount which he has
authorized the Company to withhold from his Eligible Compensation for each
payroll period during the Purchase Period. Any such full or partial cancellation
shall be effective upon the delivery by the Employee of written notice of
cancellation to such person as the Committee may designate. Such notice of
cancellation must be so delivered before the close of business on the third to
last business day of the Purchase Period. If an Employee partially cancels his
original election by reducing the amount authorized to be withheld from his pay,
he shall continue to make installment payments at the reduced rate for the
remainder of the Purchase Period, and for any subsequent offering in which he
participates unless he files a new Subscription Agreement in accordance with
Section 7 hereof.
 
     An Employee's rights upon the full or partial cancellation of his election
to purchase Shares shall be limited to the following:
 
          (a) He may receive in cash, as soon as practicable after delivery of
     the notice of cancellation, the amount then credited to his Account, except
     that, in the case of a partial cancellation, he must retain in his Account
     an amount equal to the amount of his new payroll deduction times the number
     of payroll periods in the Purchase Period through the date of cancellation,
     or
 
          (b) He may have the amount credited to his Account at the time the
     cancellation becomes effective applied to the purchase of the number of
     Shares such amount will then purchase. The purchase of Shares will become
     effective at the close of business on the Offering Termination Date.
 
     In the case of a full cancellation, the Employee shall be deemed to have
withdrawn from the Plan. To re-enter the Plan, the Employee must file a new
Subscription Agreement in accordance with Section 7.
 
     15. LEAVE OF ABSENCE OR LAYOFF.  An Employee purchasing Shares under the
Plan who is granted a leave of absence (including a military leave) or is laid
off during the Purchase Period may at that time elect to suspend payments during
the leave of absence, or, in the case of a layoff, he may suspend payments for
not
 
                                       B-5
<PAGE>   45
 
more than ninety (90) days, but, in either case, not beyond the last day of the
Purchase Period. Any such suspension shall be treated as a partial cancellation
of his election to purchase Shares.
 
     If the Employee does not return to active service upon the expiration of
his leave of absence or within ninety (90) days from the date of his layoff, his
election to purchase shall be deemed to have been canceled at that time, and the
Employee's only right will be to receive in cash the amount credited to his
Account.
 
     16. EFFECT OF FAILURE TO MAKE PAYMENTS WHEN DUE.  If in any payroll period
an Employee who has filed an election to purchase Shares under the Plan has no
pay or his pay is insufficient (after other authorized deductions) in any
payroll period to permit deduction of his installment payment, the amount of
such deficiency shall be treated as a partial cancellation of his election to
purchase Shares.
 
     17. RETIREMENT.  If an Employee who retires in a manner entitling him to
early, normal or late retirement benefits under the provisions of any retirement
plan of the Company or a Subsidiary in which the Employee participates (or if no
such plan then exists, at or after age sixty-five (65)) has an election to
purchase Shares in effect at the time of his retirement, he may, within three
(3) months after the date of his retirement (but in no event later than the
close of business on the third to last business day of the Purchase Period), by
delivering written notice to such person as the Committee may designate, elect
to:
 
          (a) Receive in cash, as soon as practicable after delivery of such
     notice, the amount then credited in his Account, or
 
          (b) Have the amount credited to his Account at the time of the
     termination of his employment by reason of retirement applied to the
     purchase of the number of Shares such Account will then purchase, such
     purchase to be effective as of the Offering Termination Date.
 
     If no such notice is given within such period, the election will be deemed
canceled as of the date of retirement and the only right of the Employee will be
to receive in cash the amount credited to his Account.
 
     18. DEATH.  If an Employee, including a retired Employee, dies and has an
election to purchase Shares in effect at the time of his death, the Employee's
Successor may, within three (3) months from the date of death (but in no event
later than the close of business on the third to last business day of the
Purchase Period), by delivering written notice to such person as the Committee
may designate, elect to:
 
          (a) Receive in cash, as soon as practicable after delivery of such
     notice, the amount then credited in the Employee's Account, or
 
          (b) Have the amount credited to the Employee's Account at the time of
     the Employee's death applied to the purchase of the number of Shares such
     Account will then purchase, such purchase to be effective as of the
     Offering Termination Date.
 
     If no such notice is given within such period, the election will be deemed
canceled as of the date of death, and the only right of such Successor will be
to receive in cash the amount credited to the Employee's Account.
 
     19. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OTHER THAN FOR RETIREMENT OR DEATH.  If an
Employee's employment is terminated for any reason other than retirement or
death prior to the end of the Purchase Period of any offering, the Employee's
rights under the Plan will terminate at such time. A notice to withdraw from the
Plan will be considered as having been received from the Employee on the day his
employment ceases, and the only right of the Employee will be to receive the
cash then credited to his Account.
 
     20. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  An Option, or an Employee's right to
any amounts held for his Account under the Plan, shall not be transferable,
other than (a) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and an Option
may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of the Option, only by the
holder or in the event of death, the holder's Successor or (b) if permitted
pursuant to the Code and the Regulations thereunder without affecting the
Option's qualification under Section 423 of the Code, pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order.
 
     21. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.  In the event of changes in
all of the outstanding Shares by reason of stock dividends, stock splits,
recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, or
 
                                       B-6
<PAGE>   46
 
exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations, or similar
events, or in the event of extraordinary cash or non-cash dividends being
declared with respect to the Shares, or similar transactions or events, the
number and class of Shares available under the Plan in the aggregate, the number
and class of Shares subject to Options theretofore granted, applicable purchase
prices and all other applicable provisions, shall, subject to the provisions of
the Plan, be equitably adjusted by the Committee. The foregoing adjustment and
the manner of application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion. Any such adjustment may provide for the
elimination of any fractional Share which might otherwise become subject to an
Option.
 
     22. CHANGE IN CONTROL.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in
the case of a Change in Control of the Company, the Board may, in its sole
discretion, elect to terminate the Purchase Period of any offering then in
effect as of the last day of the month during which the Change in Control
occurs, with the effect that such day will be the Offering Termination Date of
such offering.
 
     23. TAXES.  The Employee, or his Successor, shall promptly notify the
Company of any disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an
Option under the Plan and the Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes
required by law to be withheld as a result of such disposition from any amounts
otherwise payable then or at any time thereafter to the Employee. The Company
shall also have the right to require a person entitled to receive Shares
pursuant to the exercise of an Option to pay the Company the amount of any taxes
which the Company is or will be required to withhold with respect to the Shares
before the certificate for such Shares is delivered pursuant to the Option.
 
     24. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from
the date the Plan becomes effective, and an Option shall not be granted under
the Plan after that date although the terms of any Options may be amended at any
date prior to the end of its term in accordance with the Plan. Any Options
outstanding at the time of termination of the Plan shall continue in full force
and effect according to the terms and conditions of the Option and this Plan.
 
     25. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.  The Plan may be amended at any time and from
time to time by the Board, but no amendment without the approval of the
stockholders of the Company shall be made if stockholder approval under Section
423 of the Code or Rule 16b-3 would be required. Notwithstanding the
discretionary authority granted to the Committee in Section 4 of the Plan, no
amendment of the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan shall impair any of
the rights of any holder, without the holder's consent, under any Option
theretofore granted under the Plan.
 
     26. DELIVERY OF SHARES ON EXERCISE.  Delivery of certificates for Shares to
or for the benefit of an Employee pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be
postponed by the Company such period as may be required for it with reasonable
diligence to comply with any applicable requirements of any federal, state or
local law or regulation or any administrative or quasi-administrative
requirement applicable to the sale, issuance, distribution or delivery of such
Shares. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, require an Employee to
furnish the Company with appropriate representations and a written investment
letter prior to the exercise of an Option or the delivery of any Shares pursuant
to the exercise of an Option.
 
     27. FEES AND COSTS.  The Company shall pay all original issue taxes on the
exercise of any Option granted under the Plan and all other fees and expenses
necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
 
     28. NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT.  Neither the adoption of this Plan nor the
grant of any Option shall be deemed to obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to
continue the employment of any Employee.
 
     29. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall become effective on July 1,
1994. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Plan is approved by the
Company's stockholders either (i) at a meeting duly held in accordance with
Delaware law within twelve (12) months after being adopted by the Board, or (ii)
by a written consent in accordance with Delaware law within twelve (12) months
after being adopted by the Board, the Plan and all Options made under it shall
be void and of no force and effect.

                                       C-3
<PAGE>   51
 
issuance upon exercise of an Option or SAR, or payment of an SDR, but which are

for issuance in satisfaction of Awards. Similarly, any Shares issued pursuant to
a Restricted Stock Award which are subsequently forfeited pursuant to the terms
of the related Restricted Stock Agreement shall once again be available for

     4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.  The Board shall appoint the Committee,
which shall consist of not less than three (3) disinterested members of the
Board as defined in Rule 16b-3. No member of the Board shall be eligible to
serve or continue to serve on the Committee if, at the time, or at any time
during the twelve months preceding commencement of his service, he is or was
eligible to receive an Award under the Plan or any award under any other
employee benefits plan of the Company or its Affiliates entitling him to acquire
stock, stock options, stock depreciation rights or stock appreciation rights of
the Company or any of its Affiliates (other than under the Bally Manufacturing
Corporation 1987 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan or the 1989
Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan of Bally Manufacturing Corporation).
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full authority,
in its discretion, to determine the Employees to whom Awards shall be granted,
the number of Shares, SDRs or SARs to be covered by each of the Awards, and the
terms (including restrictions) of any such Award; to amend or cancel Awards
(subject to Section 22 of the Plan); to accelerate the vesting of Awards; to
require the cancellation or surrender of any options, stock depreciation rights,
stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards (to the extent the
restrictions have not yet lapsed) previously granted under this Plan or any
other plans of the Company as a condition to the granting of an Award; to
interpret the Plan; and to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations
relating to it, and generally to interpret and determine any and all matters
whatsoever relating to the administration of the Plan and the granting of Awards
hereunder. The Board may, from time to time, appoint members to the Committee in
substitution for or in addition to members previously appointed and may fill
vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. The Committee shall select one of
its members as its Chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places
as it shall deem advisable. A majority of its members shall constitute a quorum.
Any action of the Committee may be taken by a written instrument signed by all
of the members, and any action so taken shall be fully as effective as if it had
been taken by a vote of a majority of the members at a meeting duly called and
held. The Committee shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its
business as it shall deem advisable and shall appoint a secretary who shall keep
minutes of its meetings and records of all action taken in writing without a
meeting. No member of the Committee shall be liable, in the absence of bad
faith, for any act or omission with respect to his service on the Committee.
 
     5. EMPLOYEES TO WHOM AWARDS MAY BE GRANTED.  Awards may be granted in each
calendar year or portion thereof while the Plan is in effect to such of the
Employees as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. In determining
the Employees to whom Awards shall be granted, the number of Shares to be
granted or subject to purchase under such Awards and the number of SARs or SDRs
to be granted, the Committee shall take into account the duties of the
respective Employees, their present and potential contributions to the success
of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Committee
shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.
No Award shall be granted to any member of the Committee so long as his
membership on the Committee continues or to any member of the Board who is not
also an Employee.
 
     6. STOCK OPTIONS.
 
          6.1 TYPES OF OPTIONS.  Options granted under this Plan may be (i)
     Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options, or (iii) a
     combination of the foregoing. The Award Agreement shall designate whether
     an Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Any
     Option which is designated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be
     treated by the Company or the Employee to whom the Option is granted as an
     Incentive Stock Option for federal income tax purposes.
 
          6.2 OPTION PRICE.
 
             (a) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION.  The option price per share of any
        Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall not be less than the
        Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by the Incentive Stock Option on
        the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. Notwithstanding anything
        herein to
 
                                       C-4
<PAGE>   52
 
        the contrary, in the event an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an
        Employee who, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns
        as defined in Section 425 of the Code, stock possessing more than ten
        percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all class of stock
        of:
 
                 (i) the Company; or
 
                 (ii) if applicable, a Subsidiary; or
 
                (iii) if applicable, the Parent,
 
        then the option price per Share of such Incentive Stock Option shall not
        be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of
        the Shares covered by the Incentive Stock Option on the date the
        Incentive Stock Option is granted.
 
             (b) NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS.  Unless otherwise determined by
        the Committee, in its sole discretion, the option price per Share of any
        Non-Qualified Stock Option granted under this Plan shall not be less
        than the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by the Non-Qualified
        Stock Option on the date the Non-Qualified Stock Option is granted.
 
          6.3 TERM OF OPTIONS.  Options granted hereunder shall be exercisable
     for a Term of not more than ten (10) years from the date of grant, but
     shall be subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided. Each Award
     Agreement issued hereunder shall specify the Term of the Option, which Term
     shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with its discretionary
     authority hereunder. No Option in tandem with either an SAR or an SDR shall
     be exercisable during the first six (6) months following the date of grant
     of the SAR or SDR, whichever is applicable, except that this limitation
     shall not apply in the event the death or disability of the Employee occurs
     prior to the expiration of the six (6) month period.
 
          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event an
     Incentive Stock Option is granted to an Employee who, at the time such
     Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns, as defined in Section 425 of the
     Code, stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
     voting power of all classes of stock of:
 
              (i) the Company; or
 
              (ii) if applicable, a Subsidiary; or
 
             (iii) if applicable, the Parent,
 
     then such Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable more than five
     (5) years from the date of grant, but shall be subject to earlier
     termination as hereinafter provided.
 
     7. LIMIT ON FAIR MARKET VALUE OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.  In any calendar
year, no Employee may be granted an Incentive Stock Option hereunder to the
extent that the aggregate fair market value (such fair market value being
determined as of the date of grant of the option in question) of the stock with
respect to which incentive stock options first become exercisable by the
Employee during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Employee's
employer corporation, its Parent, if any, and its Subsidiaries, if any) exceeds
the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). For purposes of the
preceding sentence, options shall be taken into account in the order in which
they were granted. Any Option granted under the Plan which is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option, but which exceeds the limitation set forth in this
Section 7, shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
 
     8. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
 
          8.1 GRANT OF SAR.  The Committee, in its discretion, may grant an
     Employee an SAR in tandem with an Option or may grant an Employee an SAR on
     a stand alone basis. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant an SAR in
     tandem with an Option either at the time the Option is granted or at any
     time after the Option is granted, but no later than six (6) months and one
     (1) day prior to the end of the Term of the Option, so long as the grant of
     the SAR is made during the period in which grants of SARs
 
                                       C-5
<PAGE>   53
 
     may be made under the Plan. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant an
     SAR in tandem with an Option, which is exercisable either in lieu of, or in
     addition to, exercise of the related Option.
 
          8.2 LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE.  Each SAR granted in tandem with an
     Option shall be exercisable to the extent, and only to the extent, the
     related Option is exercisable and shall be for such Term as the Committee
     may determine (which Term, which is not to exceed ten (10) years, may
     expire prior to the Term of the related Option). Each SAR granted on a
     stand alone basis shall be exercisable to the extent, and for such Term, as
     the Committee may determine. No SAR or any related Option shall be
     exercisable during the first six (6) months following the date of grant of
     the SAR, except that this limitation shall not apply in the event the death
     or disability of the Employee occurs prior to the expiration of the six (6)
     month period. If, and to the extent, an Employee who is subject to Section
     16(b) of the Exchange Act is to receive cash in exchange for an SAR, the
     SAR and any related Option are exercisable only during a Window Period. The
     SARs shall be subject to such other terms and conditions, as the Committee,
     in its discretion, shall determine, which are not otherwise inconsistent
     with the Plan. The terms and conditions may include Committee approval of
     the exercise of the SAR, limitations on the time within which and the
     extent to which such SAR shall be exercisable, limitations, if any, on the
     amount of appreciation in value which may be recognized with regard to such
     SAR, and specifications of what portion, if any, of the amount payable to
     the Employee upon exercise of an SAR shall be payable in cash and what
     portion, if any, shall be payable in Shares. If, and to the extent that,
     Shares are issued in satisfaction of amounts payable on exercise of an SAR,
     the Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of
     exercise.
 
          8.3 SARs IN TANDEM WITH INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.  With respect to SARs
     granted in tandem with Incentive Stock Options, the following shall apply:
 
             (a) No SAR shall be exercisable unless the Fair Market Value of the
        Shares on the date of exercise exceeds the option price of the related
        Incentive Stock Option.
 
             (b) In no event shall any amounts paid pursuant to the SAR exceed
        the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
        of exercise and the option price of the related Incentive Stock Option.
 
          8.4 SURRENDER OF OPTION OR SAR GRANTED IN TANDEM.  If the Award
     Agreement related to the grant of an SAR in tandem with an Option provides
     that the SAR can only be exercised in lieu of the related Option, then,
     upon exercise of such SAR, the related Option or portion thereof with
     respect to which such SAR is exercised shall be deemed surrendered and
     shall not thereafter be exercisable and, similarly, upon exercise of the
     Option, the related SAR or portion thereof with respect to which such
     Option is exercised shall be deemed surrendered and shall not thereafter be
     exercisable. If the Award Agreement related to the grant of an SAR in
     tandem with an Option provides that the SAR can be exercised in addition to
     the related Option, then, upon exercise of such SAR, the related Option or
     portion thereof with respect to which such SAR is exercised shall not be
     deemed surrendered and shall continue to be exercisable and, similarly,
     upon exercise of the Option, the related SAR or portion thereof with
     respect to which such Option is exercised shall not be deemed surrendered
     and shall continue to be exercisable.
 
     9. STOCK DEPRECIATION RIGHTS.
 
          9.1 GRANT OF SDR.  The Committee, in its discretion, may grant an
     Employee who is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act an SDR in
     tandem with an Option. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant an SDR
     in tandem with an Option either at the time the Option is granted or at any
     time after the Option is granted, but no later than six (6) months and one
     (1) day before the SDR Payment Determination Date, so long as the grant of
     the SDR is made during the period in which grants of SDRs may be made under
     the Plan.
 
          9.2 LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE.  Each SDR granted in tandem with an
     Option shall be for such Term as the Committee may determine (which Term
     may expire prior to the Term of the related Option). If, and to the extent,
     an Employee who is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act is to
     receive cash in exchange for an SDR, either (i) the related Option must be
     exercised during a Window Period, or
 
                                       C-6
<PAGE>   54
 
     (ii) the SDR Payment Determination Date must be within a Window Period
     falling six (6) months after the date the related Option was exercised or
     such other date at which the Employee is not prohibited from selling shares
     under the federal securities laws. No Option granted in tandem with an SDR
     shall be exercisable during the first six (6) months following the date of
     grant of the SDR, except that this limitation shall not apply in the event
     the death or disability of the Employee occurs prior to the expiration of
     the six (6) month period. No payment shall be made with respect to an SDR
     if the related Option is exercised after the Employee ceases to be subject
     to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or is otherwise not prohibited from
     selling Shares under the federal securities laws. The SDRs shall be subject
     to such other terms and conditions, as the Committee, in its discretion,
     shall determine, which are not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan. The
     terms and conditions may include Committee approval of the payment of the
     SDR, limitations on the time within which and the extent to which the
     Option granted in tandem with such SDR shall be exercisable, additional
     limitations on the amount of depreciation in value which may be recognized
     with regard to such SDR, and specification of the time at which the SDR
     payment is made, and what portion, if any, of the amount payable to the
     Employee with respect to an SDR shall be payable in cash and what portion,
     if any, shall be payable in Shares. If and to the extent that Shares are
     issued in satisfaction of amounts payable with respect to an SDR, the
     Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the amount of
     the SDR payment is determined.
 
     10. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS UNDER OPTION, SAR OR SDR AWARDS.
 
          10.1 NOTICE OF EXERCISE.  An Employee entitled to exercise an Option,
     SAR or SDR may do so by delivery of a written notice to that effect
     specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Option, SAR or
     SDR is being exercised and any other information the Committee may
     prescribe. Except as provided in Section 10.2 below, the notice shall be
     accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price of any Shares to be
     purchased, which payment may be made in cash or, with the Committee's
     approval (and subject to the requirements of Rule 16b-3), in Shares (which
     Shares shall be owned by the Employee for more than six (6) months at the
     time they are delivered) valued at Fair Market Value at the time of
     exercise or, with the Committee's approval, a combination thereof. No
     Shares shall be issued upon exercise of an Option until full payment has
     been made therefor. The notice of exercise of an Option, SAR or SDR shall
     be accompanied by the Employee's copy of the Award Agreement evidencing the
     grant of the Option, SAR or SDR. An Employee exercising an SAR or an Option
     granted in tandem with either an SAR or SDR may, if the terms and
     conditions of the Award so provide, state in the notice of exercise what
     percentage of the SAR or SDR the Employee desires to be paid in Shares, in
     which event the Committee may honor the request so made or satisfy the SAR
     or SDR in cash or Shares or some combination of each, as the Committee may
     determine in its sole discretion. All notices or requests provided for
     herein shall be delivered to the Treasurer of the Company.
 
          10.2 CASHLESS EXERCISE PROCEDURES.  The Company, in its sole
     discretion, may establish procedures whereby an Employee, subject to the
     requirements of Rule 16b-3, Regulation T, federal income tax laws, and
     other federal, state and local tax and securities laws, can exercise an
     Option or a portion thereof without making a direct payment of the option
     price to the Company. If the Company so elects to establish a cashless
     exercise program, the Company shall determine, in its sole discretion, and
     from time to time, such administrative procedures and policies as it deems
     appropriate and such procedures and policies shall be binding on any
     Employee wishing to utilize the cashless exercise program.
 
     11. RIGHTS OF OPTION, SAR AND SDR HOLDERS.  The holder of an Option, SAR or
SDR shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares
subject to purchase or issuance under such Award, except to the extent that one
or more certificates for such Shares shall be delivered to the holder upon due
exercise of the Option, SAR or SDR.
 
     12. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS, SARS AND SDRS.  An Option, SAR or SDR
shall not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and an Option, SAR or SDR may be exercised, during the lifetime of
the holder of the Option, SAR or SDR, only by such holder.
 
     13. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.  Restricted Stock Awards granted under the
Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its
discretion, determine. Restricted Stock Awards issued
 
                                       C-7
<PAGE>   55
 
under the Plan shall be evidenced by Restricted Stock Agreements in such form as
the Committee may from time to time determine.
 
          13.1 RECEIPT OF SHARES.  Each Restricted Stock Agreement shall set
     forth the number of Shares issuable under the Restricted Stock Award
     evidenced thereby. Subject to the restrictions of Section 13.4 of the Plan
     and as set forth in the related Restricted Stock Agreement, the number of
     Shares granted under a Restricted Stock Award shall be issued to the
     recipient Employee thereof on the date of grant of such Restricted Stock
     Award or as soon as may be practicable thereafter.
 
          13.2 RECEIPT OF CASH PAYMENTS.  Within ten (10) business days of each
     lapse of restrictions on Shares issued under a Restricted Stock Award as
     provided in Section 13.5 of the Plan and in the Restricted Stock Agreement,
     the Company shall make a cash payment to the Employee covered thereby equal
     to the aggregate of the amount of federal, state and local taxes which such
     Employee would be required to pay to each such taxing authority
     attributable to the realization of taxable income, if any, as a result of
     receipt of Shares pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that the
     Committee may, in its discretion, make such payment within ten (10)
     business days of the date of grant if the Employee makes an election to be
     taxed immediately under Section 83(b) of the Code. In computing the amount
     of such payment, it shall be assumed that every Employee granted a
     Restricted Stock Award under the Plan is subject to tax by each taxing
     authority at the highest marginal tax rate in the respective taxing
     jurisdiction of such Employee (provided that the highest marginal tax rate
     for federal income tax purposes shall be determined without reference to
     Section 1(g) of the Code), taking into account the city and state in which
     such Employee resides, but giving effect to the tax benefit, if any, which
     such Employee may enjoy to the extent that any such tax is deductible in
     determining the tax liability of any other taxing jurisdiction. In addition
     to the foregoing, each cash payment due to an Employee hereunder shall be
     increased by the aggregate of the federal, state and local taxes for which
     such Employee may be liable (computed on the same basis) on account of the
     cash payment to be made hereunder, it being the intention of the Company
     that each Employee who receives a grant of Shares under this Plan shall
     receive such Shares net of all taxes imposed on such Employee on account of
     the receipt of Shares under this Plan.
 
          13.3 RIGHTS OF RECIPIENT EMPLOYEES.  Shares received pursuant to
     Restricted Stock Awards shall be duly issued or transferred to the
     Employee, and a certificate or certificates for such Shares shall be issued
     in the Employee's name. Subject to the restrictions in Section 13.4 of the
     Plan and as set forth in the related Restricted Stock Agreement, the
     Employee shall thereupon be a stockholder with respect to all the Shares
     represented by such certificate or certificates and shall have all the
     rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to
     vote such Shares and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with
     respect to such Shares. In aid of such restrictions, certificates for
     Shares awarded hereunder, together with a suitably executed stock power
     signed by each recipient Employee, shall be held by the Company in its
     control for the account of such Employee (i) until the restrictions
     determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and as set forth in the
     related Restricted Stock Agreement, lapse pursuant to the Plan or the
     Restricted Stock Agreement, at which time a certificate for the appropriate
     number of Shares (free of all restrictions imposed by the Plan or the
     Restricted Stock Agreement) shall be delivered to the Employee, or (ii)
     until such Shares are forfeited to the Company and cancelled as provided by
     the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement.
 
          13.4 RESTRICTIONS.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
     in its sole discretion, each Share issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock
     Agreement shall be subject, in addition to any other restrictions set forth
     in the related Restricted Stock Agreement, to the following restrictions
     until such restrictions have lapsed pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Plan:
 
             (a) DISPOSITION.  The Shares awarded to an Employee and held by the
        Company pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Plan, and the right to vote such
        Shares or receive dividends on such Shares, may not be sold, exchanged,
        transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; provided,
        however, that such Shares may be transferred upon the death of the
        Employee to such of his legal representatives, heirs and legatees as may
        be entitled thereto by will or the laws of intestacy.

             (b) FORFEITURE.  The Shares awarded to an Employee shall be
        forfeited to the Company without notice and without consideration
        therefor immediately upon the termination of Employee's employment with
        the Company, and all Subsidiaries of the Company, for any reason.
 
          13.5 LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS.  Except as otherwise determined by the
     Committee in its sole discretion, the restrictions set forth in Section
     13.4 of the Plan on Shares issued under a Restricted Stock Award shall
     lapse, and certificates for the Shares held for the account of the Employee
     in accordance with Section 13.3 of the Plan hereof shall be appropriately
     distributed to Employee as follows:
 
             (a) After one (1) year from the date of grant, the restrictions
        shall lapse as to not more than twenty percent (20%) of the Shares
        originally awarded.
 
             (b) After two (2) years from the date of grant, the restrictions
        shall lapse as to an aggregate of not more than forty percent (40%) of
        the Shares originally awarded.
 
             (c) After three (3) years from the date of grant, the restrictions
        shall lapse as to all the Shares originally awarded.
 
     14. AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS.  Each Award Agreement setting forth an
Award shall contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent herewith as
shall be approved by the Board or by the Committee. The Committee shall from
time to time adopt policies and procedures applicable to Awards that will govern
the lapse or non-lapse of restrictions and the rights of grantees and
beneficiaries in the event of death, disability, or retirement of grantees or
upon the occurrence of any other event determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, to be appropriate. The Committee shall have authority to define
disability and retirement and other terms, and the Committee's policies and
procedures may differ with respect to Awards granted at different times. A
grantee's rights in the event of death, disability, or retirement or such other
events shall be set forth in the Award Agreement that evidences an Award to the
grantee.
 
     15. DATE OF GRANT.  The date of grant of an Award granted hereunder shall
be the date on which the Committee acts in granting the Award.
 
     16. VESTING OF AWARD.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant
Awards which vest over time or based upon satisfaction of performance targets
established by the Committee.
 
     17. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.  In the event of changes in
all of the outstanding Shares by reason of stock dividends, stock splits,
recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, or exchanges of
shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations or similar events or in the
event of extraordinary cash or non-cash dividends being declared with respect to
outstanding Shares or other similar transactions, the number and class of Shares
available under the Plan in the aggregate, the number and class of Shares
subject to Awards theretofore granted, the number of SDRs or SARs therefore
granted, applicable purchase prices and all other applicable provisions, shall,
subject to the provisions of the Plan, be equitably adjusted by the Committee,
which adjustment may, but need not, include payment to the holder of an Option
or SAR, in cash or in Shares, in an amount equal to the difference between the
then current Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Award, as equitably
determined by the Committee, and the option price or SAR Base Price of such
Option or SAR, as the case may be. The foregoing adjustment and the manner of
application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined by the Committee in
its sole discretion. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any
fractional Share which might otherwise become subject to an Award.
 
     18. TERMINATION OF AWARDS UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, in the case of a Change in Control, each Award granted under
the Plan shall terminate ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Change in
Control, but, in the event of any such termination:
 
          (a) the Award holder shall have the right, commencing at least five
     (5) days prior to such Change in Control and subject to any other
     limitation on the exercise of such Award in effect on the date of exercise,
     (i) to immediately exercise any Options not in tandem with SARs or SDRs in
     full, without regard to any vesting limitations, to the extent they shall
     not have been theretofore exercised, and (ii) to exercise, at any time
     after the sixth month anniversary of the date of grant of the respective
     SAR or SDR
 
                                       C-9
<PAGE>   57
 
     (but subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e)(3)(iii) of Rule 16b-3)
     any SARs or Options in tandem with SARs or SDRs in full, without regard to
     any vesting limitations, to the extent they shall not have been theretofore
     exercised, provided, however, that no SAR or Option in tandem with an SAR
     or SDR shall terminate prior to the end of the first Window Period
     following the occurrence of such Change in Control; and
 
          (b) all restrictions on Restricted Stock Awards shall immediately
     lapse and certificates for the affected Shares and the cash payment
     required by Section 13.2 of the Plan (if any payment is due) shall be
     appropriately distributed.
 
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 18, each Option,
SAR and Option granted in tandem with an SAR or SDR outstanding at the date of
the Change of Control, shall terminate, in all events, no later than one hundred
eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such Change in Control. Further,
nothing in this Section 18 shall prevent the holder of an Option granted in
tandem with an SDR from receiving payment of the SDR, so long as the related
Option is exercised within the time period permitted for such exercise in this
Section 18. The foregoing adjustment and the manner of application of the
foregoing provisions shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion.
 
     19. FORM OF AWARDS.  Nothing contained in the Plan nor any resolution
adopted or to be adopted by the Board or the stockholders of the Company shall
constitute the granting of any Award. An Award shall be granted hereunder at
such date or dates as the Committee may determine, subject to the Plan. Whenever
the Committee determines to grant an Award, the Secretary or the President of
the Company, or such other person as the Committee appoints, shall forthwith
send notice thereof to the Employee, in such form as the Committee approves,
stating the number of Shares, SDRs and SARs subject to Award, its Term, and the
other provisions (including restrictions) and conditions thereof provided by the
terms of the Plan. The notice shall be accompanied by a written Award Agreement
(and, in the case of a Restricted Stock Award, by a blank stock power for
execution by the Employee as provided in Section 13.3 of the Plan) which shall
have been duly executed by or on behalf of the Company. If the surrender of
previously issued Awards is made a condition of the grant, the notice shall set
forth the pertinent details of such condition. Execution of an Award Agreement
by the recipient Employee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall be
a condition precedent to the exercise of any Award.
 
     20. WITHHOLDING FOR TAXES.
 
          20.1 COMPANY'S RIGHT TO PAYMENT FOR TAXES REQUIRED TO BE
     WITHHELD.  The Company shall have the right to require an Employee entitled
     to receive Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Award under the Plan to
     pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company is or will be
     required to withhold with respect to such Shares before the certificate for
     such Shares is delivered pursuant to the Award. The Company may elect to
     deduct such taxes from any other amounts payable then or any time
     thereafter in cash or Shares or otherwise to the Employee. If the Employee
     disposes of Shares acquired pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option in any
     transaction considered to be a disqualifying transaction under Sections 421
     and 422A of the Code, the Employee must give the Company written notice of
     such transfer and the Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes
     required by law to be withheld from any amounts otherwise payable to the
     Employee.
 
          20.2 EMPLOYEE ELECTION TO WITHHOLD SHARES.  An Employee who is subject
     to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act may satisfy his tax liability with
     respect to the exercise of an Option or SAR, or payment of an SDR, by
     having the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the
     Option or SAR, or upon payment of the SDR, if such Employee makes an
     irrevocable election, by way of a written statement in a form acceptable to
     the Committee, at least six (6) months before the date the Employee
     recognizes federal taxable income with respect to the receipt of such
     Shares or during any Window Period.
 
     21. TERMINATION OF PLAN.  The Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the
date hereof, and an Award shall not be granted under the Plan after that date
although the terms of any Awards may be amended at any date prior to the end of
its Term in accordance with the Plan. Any Awards outstanding at the time of
 
                                      C-10
<PAGE>   58
 
termination of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect according to the
terms and conditions of the Award and this Plan.
 
     22. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.  The Plan may be amended at any time and from
time to time by the Board, but no amendment without the approval of the
stockholders of the Company shall be made if stockholder approval under Section
422A of the Code or Rule 16b-3 would be required. Notwithstanding the
discretionary authority granted to the Committee in Section 4 of the Plan, no
amendment of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall impair any of
the rights of any holder, without his consent, under any Award theretofore
granted under the Plan.
 
     23. DELIVERY OF SHARES ON EXERCISE.  Delivery of certificates for Shares
pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Award may be postponed by the Company
for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply
with any applicable requirements of any federal, state or local law or
regulation or any administrative or quasi-administrative requirement (including
stock exchange requirements) applicable to the sale, issuance, distribution or
delivery of such Shares. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, require an
Employee to furnish the Company with appropriate representations and a written
investment letter prior to the exercise of an Award or the delivery of any
Shares pursuant to an Award.
 
     24. FEES AND COSTS.  The Company shall pay all original issue taxes on the
exercise of any Award granted under the Plan and all other fees and expenses
necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
 
     25. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall become effective when
approved by the Board. The Plan shall thereafter be submitted to the Company's
stockholders for approval and unless the Plan is approved by the affirmative
votes of the holders of shares having a majority of the voting power of all
shares represented at a meeting duly held in accordance with Delaware law within
twelve (12) months after being approved by the Board, the Plan and all Awards
made under it shall be void and of no force and effect.
 
     26. OTHER PROVISIONS.  As used in the Plan, and in Awards and other
documents prepared in implementation of the Plan, references to the masculine
pronoun shall be deemed to refer to the feminine or neuter, and references in
the singular or the plural shall refer to the plural or the singular, as the
identity of the person or persons or entity or entities being referred to may
require. The captions used in the Plan and in such Awards and other documents
prepared in implementation of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not
affect the meaning of any provision hereof or thereof.
