               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 

NOTE 1 - INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  In the 
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, 
results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods 
presented have been included.  The interim financial information herein is 
not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.  The interim 
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the 
fiscal year ended May 31, 1996 included in the Company's Form 10-K. 

NOTE 2 - COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of 
shares of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the 
period.  Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of options and warrants 
(using the treasury stock method for all periods presented).  The number of 
shares used in the per share calculation have been adjusted retroactively to 
give effect to a three-for-two stock split which was effective on January 31, 
1997.

ITEM 2.

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


     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached 
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the audited 
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the 
fiscal year ended May 31, 1996 included in the Company's Form 10-K. 

OVERVIEW

     Unison Software, Inc. develops, markets, and supports networked systems 
management software for distributed, heterogeneous computing environments.  
The Company's workload management, storage management, and output management 
tools support the deployment of business critical applications in 
client/server environments.  Unison was incorporated in California in 1980 
and reincorporated in Delaware in July 1995.  

     The Company's revenues are derived from license fees for software 
products and fees for a range of services complementing such products, 
including software maintenance and support, training and system 
implementation consulting. Software licenses typically are granted on a 
perpetual, per-CPU basis, although the Company may grant site or 
enterprise-wide licenses for larger installations. License fee revenues are 
recognized upon product shipment if no significant vendor obligations remain 
and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable.  Allowances 
are established for potential product returns and credit losses, which have 
not been substantial to date.  Fees for services are charged separately from 
fees for software licenses.  Service revenues from customer maintenance 
services, which include on-going product support and periodic product 
updates, are recognized ratably over the term of each contract, which is 
typically twelve months.  Payments for customer maintenance fees are 
generally made in advance and are non-refundable.  Service revenues from 
training and consulting services are recognized when the services are 
performed.

     License fee revenues have been derived principally from direct sales of 
software products to end users through the Company's direct field sales and 
telesales force and national account sales group.  Although the Company 
believes that such direct sales will continue to account for a significant 
portion of license fee revenues, the Company expects  that revenues from 
sales through OEMs, VARs, ISVs and other indirect channels will increase as a 
percentage of license fee revenues.  The Company's expansion of its field 
sales force has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, sales and 
marketing expenses to increase.  The Company is also increasingly attempting 
to direct customers to larger, enterprise-wide implementations of the 
Company's products, which may increase the complexity and length of the sales 
cycle.  In connection with such larger sales, the Company may choose to grant 
greater pricing and other concessions than for single department or local 
network sales.

     The Company's operating results have fluctuated, and may continue to 
fluctuate, on an annual and quarterly basis as a result of a number of 
factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control.  These factors 
include the timing of significant orders, the length of sales cycles, the 
ability of the Company to recruit and deploy effective field sales personnel, 
customer budget changes, the timing of new product introductions, changes in 
pricing policies by the Company or its competitors, product mix, the market 
acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the Company's products, and 
conditions and events in the computer industry and the general economy.  The 
Company does not maintain a significant backlog, and therefore revenues for 
each quarter depend to a large extent on orders booked and shipped in that 
quarter.  Additionally, the Company typically realizes a significant portion 
of license fee revenues in the last month of a quarter, frequently in the 
last weeks or even days of a quarter.  As a result, license fee revenues for 
any quarter can be subject to significant variation.  The Company establishes 
its expenditure levels for sales, marketing, product development and other 
operating expenses based, in large part, on its expected future revenues.  If 
revenues fall below expectations in a particular quarter, operating results 
and net income are likely to be 


                                        7

materially adversely affected.  A significant portion of the Company's 
operating expenses are fixed, and planned expenditures are based primarily on 
sales forecasts.  Any inability of the Company to adjust spending quickly 
enough to compensate for any failure to meet sales forecasts or to receive 
anticipated revenues, or any unexpected increase in product returns or other 
costs, could magnify the adverse impact of such events on the Company's 
operating results.  Further, the purchase of the Company's products may 
involve a significant commitment of capital by the customer, with the 
attendant delays frequently associated with large capital expenditures and 
acceptance procedures within an organization.  For these and other reasons, 
the sales cycle associated with the purchase of client/server networked 
systems management software is typically lengthy and subject to a number of 
significant risks over which the Company has little or no control, including 
customers' budgetary constraints and internal acceptance reviews. 
Furthermore, the Company's business has experienced and is expected to 
continue to experience significant seasonality, due, among other things, to 
customer capital spending patterns, the general summer slowdown in the 
computer industry and the fact that the Company's first fiscal quarter 
coincides with such summer slowdown.  Based upon the foregoing and other 
factors, the Company believes that its quarterly revenues, expenses and 
operating results could vary significantly in the future, that 
period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily 
meaningful, and that, in any event, such comparisons should not be relied 
upon as indications of future performance.

     NET REVENUES

     Net revenues increased 17.7% from $8.2 million for the three months 
ended February 29, 1996 to $9.6 million for the three months ended February 
28, 1997. Net revenues increased 37.1% from $20.1 million for the nine months 
ended February 29, 1996 to $27.6 million for the nine months ended February 
28, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of growth in open systems 
license fees attributable to increased market acceptance of the Company's 
UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT products, and increased revenues from indirect 
channels, offset by a decline in revenues from HP3000 products.  License fee 
revenue for the quarter increased 12.2% for the quarter compared to the same 
quarter last year and 35.8% for the nine month period.  The rate of
expected increase in license fee revenue for the quarter ended February 28, 
1997 resulted from lower than expected international revenues, delays in 
concluding several large domestic transactions, and difficulties in 
recruiting adequate numbers of qualified sales personnel.  Service revenues 
increased 31.0% for the quarter and 39.8% for the nine month period, 
reflecting the increase in the installed base of the Company's products and 
additional revenue generated as a result of the expansion of the Company's 
consulting services group.

     License fees accounted for 70.8% and 67.9% of net revenues for the three 
and nine months ended February 29, 1996, respectively, compared to 67.5% and 
67.3% of net revenues for the three and nine months ended February 28, 1997, 
respectively.  Conversely, service revenues accounted for 29.2% and 32.1% of 
net revenues for the three and nine months ended February 29, 1996, 
respectively, compared to 32.5% and 32.7% of net revenues for the three and 
nine months ended February 28, 1997, respectively.

<PAGE>


     UNIX and Windows NT license fees accounted for 65.9% and 60.7% of total 
license fees for the three and nine months ended February 29, 1996, 
respectively, compared to 77.8% and 72.9% of total license fees for the three 
and nine months ended February 28, 1997, respectively.  The increases in UNIX 
and Windows NT license fee revenues both in absolute dollars and as a 
percentage of total license fees resulted from the expansion of the Company's 
product offerings and its increased efforts to address the open distributed 
systems market.  The Company's future growth, if any, will depend on 
continued growth in UNIX and Windows NT license fees.  License fees from 
HP3000 products have been, and are expected to continue to be, a significant 
though declining portion of the Company's net revenues.  However, there can 
be no assurance as to how long the HP3000 will continue to be a viable 
product or be used in ways which benefit from use of the Company's networked 
systems management tools.  The Company anticipates that HP3000 license fees 
may decline in the future, as the Company continues to focus on the open 
distributed systems market.

     Sales to customers outside of the United States, including sales 
generated by the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary, represented 27.1% and 
25.2% of net revenues for the three and nine months ended February 29, 1996, 
respectively, as compared to 19.6% and 21.5% of net revenues for the three 
and nine months ended February 28, 1997, respectively.  For the quarter ended 
February 28, 1997, sales to customers outside the United States declined in 
absolute dollars due to a general weakness in the European market, and 
turnover in the Company's international sales management. Such factors may 
continue to affect the Company's operating results through the remainder of 
fiscal 1997 and into fiscal 1998.

     COST OF LICENSE FEES 
     
     Cost of license fees consists primarily of product packaging, shipping, 
delivery media, documentation and third-party royalties payable in connection 
with sales of certain of the Company's products.  Cost of license fees 
increased from $159,000, or 2.7% of license fees, in the three months ended 
February 29, 1996 to $265,000, or 4.1% of license fees, in the three months 
ended February 28, 1997.  Cost of license fees increased from $467,000, or 
3.4% of license fees, in the nine months ended February 29, 1996 to $789,000, 
or 4.3% of license fees, in the nine months ended February 28, 1997.  The 
increase in cost of license fees in both absolute dollars and as a percentage 
of license fees was primarily a result of increased revenues from the 
Company's products that are subject to royalty obligations.

     COST OF SERVICES

     Cost of services consists primarily of the direct and indirect costs of 
providing software maintenance and support, training and consulting services 
to the Company's customers.  Cost of services increased from $600,000, or 
25.1% of service revenues, in the three months ended February 29, 1996 to 
$843,000, or 27.0% of service revenues, in the three months ended February 
28, 1997.  Cost of services increased from $1.3 million, or 20.2% of service 
revenues, in the nine months ended February 29, 1996 to $2.4 million, or 
26.6% of service revenues, in the nine months ended February 28, 1997.  The 
increases were due to increases in support personnel in anticipation of 
increased demand for customer support services relating to the Company's UNIX 
and Windows NT products and additional training and consulting personnel to 
assist customers in deploying these products.

     SALES AND MARKETING

     Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of salaries, commissions,
travel and advertising and promotion costs.  Sales and marketing expenses
increased from $3.5 million, or 42.3% of net revenues, in the three months ended
February 29, 1996 to $4.3 million, or 44.5% of net revenues, in the three months
ended February 28, 1997.  Sales and marketing expenses increased from $9.4
million, or 46.9% of net revenues, in the nine months ended February 29, 1996 to
$12.5 million, or 45.5% of net revenues, in the nine months ended February 28,
1997. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily the result of the expansion
of the Company's field sales organization and increased sales compensation
resulting from increased revenues.  Such expenses 


                                        10

<PAGE>


increased as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter in part as a result 
of lower than expected license fee revenue for the quarter.  The Company 
anticipates that as it continues to expand its sales and marketing efforts in 
the open systems market, such expenses will continue to increase in absolute 
dollars during fiscal 1997.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel related 
costs.  Research and development expenses increased from $1.1 million, or 
13.0% of net revenues, in the three months ended February 29, 1996 to $1.4 
million, or 14.1% of net revenues, in the three months ended February 28, 
1997. Research and development expenses increased from $2.8 million, or 14.0% 
of net revenues, in the nine months ended February 29, 1996 to $3.7 million, 
or 13.4% of net revenues, in the nine months ended February 28, 1997. 
Research and development expenses increased in absolute dollars over these 
periods, and are expected to continue to increase, as a result of the 
Company's efforts to enhance and expand its product offerings.
     
     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     General and administrative expenses increased from $636,000, or 7.8% of 
net revenues, in the three months ended February 29, 1996 to $1.1 million, or 
11.6% of net revenues, in the three months ended February 28, 1997.  General 
and administrative expenses increased from $1.9 million, or 9.5% of net 
revenues, in the nine months ended February 29, 1996 to $3.1 million, or 
11.3% of net revenues, in the nine months ended February 28, 1997. Such 
expenses increased as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter in part as 
a result of lower than expected license fee revenue for the quarter.  The 
Company expects that its general and administrative expenses will continue to 
increase in absolute dollars in the future as the Company expands its 
staffing to support expanded operations.

     INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

     Interest and other income (expense), net is comprised primarily of 
interest and dividend income, gains on foreign currency translations and 
gains on sales of assets, net of interest expense and any losses on the 
foregoing.  Interest income is comprised primarily of interest on proceeds 
from the Company's initial public offering completed in July 1995.  Interest 
expense has historically been comprised primarily of interest on debt 
incurred in connection with a past acquisition and the Company's guarantee of 
certain indebtedness of its Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  During the 
quarter ended November 30, 1995, the ESOP retired its indebtedness with a 
portion of the proceeds from the ESOP's sale of shares in the initial public 
offering. 

     PROVISIONS FOR INCOME TAXES

     The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the 
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the 
financial statements or tax returns.  The Company's effective tax rates were 
38.0% and 38.5% for the nine months ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 
1997, respectively.  Such rates approximately represented the combined 
federal and state statutory rate and certain taxes due in the United Kingdom.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has historically funded its operations and capital 
expenditures primarily with cash flow from operations.  Net cash provided by 
operating activities in the nine months ended February 28, 1997 was $6.2 
million, resulting primarily from net income, decreases in accounts 
receivable, increases in deferred revenue and slightly offset by a decrease 
in prepaid expenses and a decrease in accounts payable.   This compares to 
net cash provided by operating activities of $1.9 million for the same period 
of fiscal 1996.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $13.2 million and $5.4 million 
in the nine months ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1997, 
respectively. The latter amount consisted primarily of purchases of 

                                        11

<PAGE>

marketable securities and equipment, offset in part by sales of marketable 
securities.

     Financing activities provided net cash of $12.9 million in the nine 
months ended February 29, 1996, principally as a result of the Company's 
initial public offering completed in July 1995.  The Company sold 1.7 million 
shares of Common Stock at a price to the public of $9.00 per share, resulting 
in net proceeds to the Company (after deducting underwriting discounts and 
commissions and offering expenses) of approximately $13.4 million. Cash used 
in financing activities was $122,000 in the nine months ended February 28, 
1997, primarily as a result of repayment of capital lease obligations and 
notes payable, offset in part by issuance of common stock.

                           PROMISSORY NOTE


$135,000                                               Santa Clara, California
                                                              February 7, 1997


     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Dominic Gattuso, Jr. ("Executive") promises to pay to
Unison Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), or order, the
principal sum of One Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($135,000) together
with interest on the unpaid principal hereof, from the date hereof at the rate
set forth in paragraph 1 below.  Proceeds delivered pursuant to this Note shall
be referred to herein as the "Loan."

     1.   PAYMENTS

          (a)  LOAN TERM; INTEREST RATE.  The term of the Loan (the "Loan 
Term") will commence on the date hereof and end February 6, 2001 (the 
"Repayment Date").  Except as set forth herein, interest on the unpaid 
principal balance of the Loan (the "Outstanding Balance") will accrue at a 
rate per annum, compounded quarterly, equal to the Prime Rate (as defined 
below) as in effect on the date of this Note and as adjusted March 1, June 1, 
September 1 and December 1, to the Prime Rate in effect on each such date.  
"Prime Rate" shall mean the "Prime Rate" published in the WALL STREET JOURNAL 
on the date in question or, if such date is not a business day, the next 
business day thereafter.  The Outstanding Balance and any unpaid and 
unforgiven accrued interest shall be repaid in full on the Repayment Date.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Outstanding Balance and all unpaid and 
unforgiven accrued interest thereon shall become due and payable 180 days 
following the termination of Executive's employment with the Company.

          (b)  PAYMENT OF INTEREST.  The interest accrued on the Outstanding 
Balance during a particular fiscal quarter of the Company shall be forgiven, 
and the Executive shall have no further obligation to repay that interest, if 
the Company's operating profit for such fiscal quarter equals or exceeds 100% 
of the budgeted operating profit for such fiscal quarter contained in the 
Company's Budget (as defined below).  If the Company's operating profit for 
such fiscal quarter does not meet the foregoing test, the Company shall 
provide written notice to the Executive, and the Executive shall pay all 
interest accrued for such fiscal quarter within fifteen (15) days of such 
notice.

          (c)  "BUDGET" DEFINED.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term 
"Budget" shall mean (A) for fiscal 1997, the Company's budget for fiscal 1997 
dated as of May 21, 1996, or (B) for subsequent fiscal years, the Company's 
budget for that particular fiscal year as determined in good faith by the 
Company's Board of Directors in consultation with the Executive. If the 
Company does not have a Budget in place during any given fiscal quarter, then 
the interest accrued on the Outstanding Balance during such fiscal quarter 
shall be forgiven during such quarter until such time as the Company prepares 
a budget for the applicable fiscal year.

          (d)  TAX CONSEQUENCES OF FORGIVEN INTEREST.  The Executive 
acknowledges that the amount of any interest forgiven under Section 2(b) will 
be compensation income to the Executive.

<PAGE>


          (e)  ACCELERATION OF REPAYMENT UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.  Upon the 
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), the Company shall have 
the right at any time thereafter to accelerate repayment of the Outstanding 
Balance and all unpaid and unforgiven accrued interest.  In such event, the 
Outstanding Balance and all unpaid and unforgiven interest accrued thereon 
shall be due and payable immediately.  After an Event of Default, the Company 
shall have no obligation to forgive any interest pursuant to Section 1(b) or 
Section 1(c) not already forgiven except for interest to be forgiven with 
respect to a fiscal quarter that ended prior to the occurrence of the Event 
of Default pursuant to such Sections, whether such interest accrued prior or 
subsequent to such Event of Default or acceleration.

          (f)  "EVENT OF DEFAULT" DEFINED.  For purposes of this Agreement, 
the term "Event of Default" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following 
events: (i)  the Executive's failure to repay the Outstanding Balance and any 
unpaid and unforgiven interest on the Repayment Date; (ii) the institution of 
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings by or against the Executive, the 
appointment of a receiver for the property of the Executive, or the making of 
an assignment by the Executive for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) the 
Executive's material breach of any other covenants hereunder or under the 
Security Agreement (as defined below) for a period of ten days after written 
notice thereof from the Company.

     2.   SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Note is secured by a pledge of the shares 
of the Company's Common Stock purchased with the proceeds of the Loan under 
the terms of a Security Agreement dated February 7, 1997 (the "Security 
Agreement"), and is subject to all the provisions thereof.  Executive agrees 
to deliver certificates representing such shares to the Company within ten 
(10) days after purchase.  If there is a Event by Default, the holder of this 
Note shall have full recourse against the undersigned, and shall not be 
required to proceed against the collateral securing this Note.

     3.   INSIDE INFORMATION AND COMPANY BLACKOUT PERIODS.  The Executive 
acknowledges that all purchases or sales of the Company's Common Stock in the 
open market are subject to applicable law and the Company's standard insider 
trading policies.  The Executive further acknowledges that adherence to these 
policies, including observance of any Company blackout periods, may affect 
the Executive's ability to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Stock 
during a particular time period.

     4.   RIGHT TO ADVICE OF COUNSEL.  The Executive acknowledges that he has 
had the opportunity to consult with counsel and is fully aware of his rights 
and obligations hereunder and under the Security Agreement.

     5.   WAIVER.  Failure or delay on the part of either party hereto to 
enforce any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall not be deemed to 
constitute a waiver thereof.  Additionally, a waiver by either party or a 
breach of any promise hereof by the other party shall not operate as or be 
construed to constitute a waiver of any subsequent waiver by such other party.

     6.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in 
accordance with the laws of the State of California.


                                     -2-

     7.   PREPAYMENT.  The undersigned may at any time prepay all or any 
portion of the principal or interest owing hereunder without penalty.

     8.   COSTS.  Should any action be instituted for the collection of this 
Note, the reasonable costs and attorneys' fees therein of the holder shall be 
paid by the undersigned.

                                 EXHIBIT A
                                    
                            SECURITY AGREEMENT
                                  


     This Security Agreement is made as of February 7, 1997 by and among 
Unison Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Secured Party"), Dominic 
Gattuso, Jr. ("Debtor"), and Michael Casteel, in his capacity as Secretary of 
Secured Party ("Pledgeholder").

     Secured Party has agreed to loan Debtor one hundred thirty-five thousand 
dollars ($135,000) (the "Loan") pursuant to a Promissory Note dated February 
7, 1997 (the "Note").

     Debtor has granted a security interest in the purchased shares as 
security for the Loan.

     The parties agree as follows:

     1.   DEFINITIONS.  As used in this Security Agreement, the following 
terms shall have the following meanings:

          "SHARES" means 5,000 shares of Secured Party's Common Stock 
purchased by Debtor on December 23 and 24, 1996, having a value as of the 
time of such purchase of $135,000, and all distributions related to and all 
proceeds of such shares, including Stock Adjustments.

          "STOCK ADJUSTMENTS" means all substitutions and exchanges for and 
all distributions with respect to the Shares and rights related to the 
Shares, including but not limited to dividends (other than dividends paid in 
cash out of current profits of Secured Party), stock splits, adjustments, 
reclassifications, options and warrants.

     All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as 
in the Note.

     2.   CREATION AND DESCRIPTION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

          (a)  GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.  In consideration of the Secured 
Party's delivery of the Loan, Debtor hereby grants the Secured Party a 
security interest in the Shares (herein sometimes referred to as the 
"Collateral") to secure Debtor's obligations under the Note, which Collateral 
shall be held by the Pledgeholder for the benefit of Secured Party.

          (b)  TRANSFER OF THE COLLATERAL TO PLEDGEHOLDER.  Concurrently with 
the execution hereof, Debtor shall deliver the certificates representing the 
Shares, duly endorsed in blank or with executed stock powers, to the 
Pledgeholder, who shall hold such certificates subject to the terms and 
conditions of this Security Agreement.  The Shares shall be held by the 
Pledgeholder for the benefit of Secured Party as security for the repayment 
of the Note, and any extensions or renewals thereof, and the Pledgeholder 
shall not encumber or dispose of such Shares except in accordance with the 
provisions of this Security Agreement or as instructed by Secured Party.



<PAGE>

     3.   DEBTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS.  To induce Secured Party to 
enter into this Security Agreement, Debtor represents and covenants to 
Secured Party, its successors and assigns, as follows:

          (a)  PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS.  Debtor will pay the principal sum of 
the Note, together with interest thereon (to the extent not forgiven), at the 
time and in the manner provided in the Note.

          (b)  ENCUMBRANCES.  The Shares purchased will be free of all other 
encumbrances, defenses and liens, and Debtor will not further encumber the 
Shares without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

          (c)  MARGIN REGULATIONS.  In the event that Secured Party's Common 
Stock is now or later becomes margin-listed by the Federal Reserve Board and 
Secured Party is classified as a "lender" within the meaning of the 
regulations under Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
("Regulation G"), Debtor agrees to cooperate with Secured Party in making any 
amendments to the Note or providing any additional collateral or other 
documentation as may be necessary to comply with such regulations.

     4.   VOTING RIGHTS.  During the term of this pledge and so long as all 
payments of principal and interest are made as they become due under the 
terms of the Note, Debtor shall have the right to vote all of the Shares 
pledged hereunder.

     5.   STOCK ADJUSTMENTS.  In the event that during the term of the pledge 
any Stock Adjustment occurs, all new, substituted and additional shares or 
other securities issued by reason of such Stock Adjustment shall be 
immediately delivered to and held by the Pledgeholder under the terms of this 
Security Agreement in the same manner as the Shares originally pledged 
hereunder.  In the event of substitution of such securities, Debtor, Secured 
Party and Pledgeholder shall cooperate and execute such documents as are 
reasonable so as to provide for the substitution of such Collateral and, upon 
such substitution, references to "Shares" in this Security Agreement shall 
include the substituted shares of capital stock held by Debtor as a result 
thereof.

     6.   OPTIONS AND RIGHTS.  In the event that, during the term of this 
pledge, subscription options or other rights or options shall be issued in 
connection with the Shares, such rights and options shall be the property of 
Debtor and, if exercised by Debtor, all new stock or other securities so 
acquired by Debtor as it relates to the Shares then held by Pledgeholder 
shall be immediately delivered to Pledgeholder, to be held under the terms of 
this Security Agreement in the same manner as the Shares pledged.

     7.   DEFAULT.  Debtor shall be deemed to be in default of the Note and 
of this Security Agreement if an Event of Default shall occur under the Note. 
In the case of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right to 
accelerate payment of the Note upon notice to Debtor, and 


                                    -2-

<PAGE>

Secured Party shall thereafter be entitled, but not obligated, to pursue its 
remedies with respect to the Collateral under the California Commercial Code.

     8.   WITHDRAWAL OR SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL.  Debtor shall not sell, 
withdraw, pledge, substitute or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the 
Collateral without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

     9.   TERM.  The security interest in the Shares provided for herein 
shall continue until the payment of all indebtedness secured hereby, at which 
time the Shares shall be promptly delivered to Debtor.

     10.  PLEDGEHOLDER LIABILITY.  In the absence of willful misconduct or 
gross negligence, Pledgeholder shall not be liable to any party for any of 
his acts, or omissions to act, as Pledgeholder.

     11.  INVALIDITY OF PARTICULAR PROVISIONS.  Debtor and Secured Party 
agree that the enforceability or invalidity of any provision or provisions of 
this Security Agreement shall not render any other provision or provisions 
herein contained unenforceable or invalid.

     12.  SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS.  Debtor, Secured Party and Pledgeholder 
agree that all of the terms of this Security Agreement shall be binding on 
their respective successors and assigns, and that the term "Debtor" and the 
term "Secured Party" as used herein shall be deemed to include, for all 
purposes, their respective designees, successors, assigns, heirs, executors 
and administrators, and the term "Pledgeholder" shall be deemed to include 
for all purposes each person who subsequently becomes Secretary of Secured 
Party.

     13.  COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.  Debtor will pay all costs and expenses 
of enforcement or collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

     14.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Security Agreement shall be governed by and 
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable 
to agreements made and performed entirely within such state.

     15.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, 
which together will constitute one instrument.
