intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an "Employee Stock
Purchase Plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.  The provisions of the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to
extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of
that section of the Code.

leave of absence approved by the Company.  Where the period of leave exceeds 90
days and the individual's right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by

the Administrator deems reliable, or;

                 (b)      Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to
the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other

option is outstanding at any time.


         4.      Offering Periods.  The Plan shall be implemented by
consecutive, overlapping Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing
on the first Trading Day on or after dates of each year to be determined by the
Board, and continuing thereafter until terminated in accordance with Section 20
hereof. The Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering

         5.      Participation.

                 (a)      An eligible Employee may become a participant in the
Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in
the form of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll
office prior to the applicable Enrollment Date.

                 (b)      Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence
on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last
payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable,
unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

         6.      Payroll Deductions.


                 (a)      At the time a participant files his or her
subscription agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made
on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding fifteen
percent (15%) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day
during the Offering Period.


                 (b)      All payroll deductions made for a participant shall
be credited to his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole
percentages only.  A participant may not make any additional payments into such
account.

                 (c)      A participant may discontinue his or her
participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or
decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period
by completing or filing with the Company a new subscription agreement
authorizing a change in payroll deduction rate.  The Board may, in its
discretion, limit the number of participation rate changes during any Offering
Period.  The change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll
period following five (5) business days after the Company's receipt of the new
subscription agreement unless the Company elects to process a given change in
participation more quickly.  A participant's subscription agreement shall
remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided
in Section 10 hereof.

                 (d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof,
a participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any
time during a Purchase Period.  Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate
provided in such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the
first Purchase Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year,
unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

                 (e)      At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in
part, or at the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the
Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the
Company's federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which
arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock.
At any time, the





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable
withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available
to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early
disposition of Common Stock by the Employee.

         7.      Grant of Option.  On the Enrollment Date of each Offering
Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be
granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period
(at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions
accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's
account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that
in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Purchase
Period more than [30,000] shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to any
adjustment pursuant to Section 19) on the Enrollment Date, and provided further
that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections
3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8
hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof.
The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

         8.      Exercise of Option.  Unless a participant withdraws from the
Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of
shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum
number of full shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant
at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his
or her account.  No fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll
deductions accumulated in a participant's account which are not sufficient to
purchase a full share shall be retained in the participant's account for the
subsequent Purchase Period or Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by
the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.  Any other monies left over
in a participant's account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the
participant.  During a participant's lifetime, a participant's option to
purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

         9.      Delivery.  As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date
on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to
each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares
purchased upon exercise of his or her option.

         10.     Withdrawal.

                 (a)      A participant may withdraw all but not less than all
the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to
exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice
to the Company in the form of Exhibit B to this Plan.  All of the participant's
payroll deductions credited to his or her account shall be paid to such
participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such
participant's option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated,
and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares shall be made for
such Offering Period.  If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period,
payroll deductions shall





                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6
not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the
participant delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

                 (b)      A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period
shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any
similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding
Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period
from which the participant withdraws.

         11.     Termination of Employment.

                 Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee, for any
reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and
the payroll deductions credited to such participant's account during the
Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option shall be returned to
such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons
entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, and such participant's option shall
be automatically terminated.  The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a
participant who receives payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment
shall be treated as continuing to be an Employee for the participant's
customary number of hours per week of employment during the period in which the
participant is subject to such payment in lieu of notice.

         12.     Interest.  No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions
of a participant in the Plan.

         13.     Stock.





                 (a)     Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization
of the Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the
Plan shall be 1,000,000 shares, plus an annual increase to be added on each
anniversary date of the adoption of the Plan equal to the lesser of (i) the
number of shares needed to restore the maximum aggregate number of shares
available for sale under the Plan to 1,000,000, or (ii) a lesser amount
determined by the Board.  If, on a given exercise date, the number of shares
with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares
then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of
the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be
practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.






                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

                 (b)      The participant shall have no interest or voting
right in shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised.



                 (c)      Shares to be delivered to a participant under the
Plan shall be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the
participant and his or her spouse.


         14.     Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the Board
or a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board.  The Board or
its committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to
construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility
and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan.  Every finding,
decision and determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the
full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

         15.     Designation of Beneficiary.

                 (a)      A participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the
participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death
subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to
delivery to such participant of such shares and cash.  In addition, a
participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive
any cash from the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such
participant's death prior to exercise of the option.  If a participant is
married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall
be required for such designation to be effective.

                 (b)      Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice.  In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed
(to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver
such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known
to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

         16.     Transferability.  Neither payroll deductions credited to a
participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option
or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant.  Any such
attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without
effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw
funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

         17.     Use of Funds.  All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose,
and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
         18.     Reports.  Individual accounts shall be maintained for each
participant in the Plan.  Statements of account shall be given to participating
Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of
payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the
remaining cash balance, if any.

         19.     Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution,
                 Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale.

                 (a)      Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required
action by the shareholders of the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of
shares each participant may purchase each Purchase Period (pursuant to Section
7), as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of
any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
"effected without receipt of consideration".  Such adjustment shall be made by
the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

                 (b)      Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in
progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise
Date"), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Board.
The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's proposed
dissolution or liquidation.  The Board shall notify each participant in
writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that
the Exercise Date for the participant's option has been changed to the New
Exercise Date and that the participant's option shall be exercised
automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the
participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10
hereof.

                 (c)      Merger or Asset Sale.  In the event of a proposed
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be
assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the event that the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any
Purchase Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise
Date (the "New Exercise Date") and any Offering Periods then in progress shall
end on the New Exercise Date.  The New Exercise Date shall be before the date
of the Company's proposed sale or merger.  The Board shall notify each
participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New
Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's option





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant's option
shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such
date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in
Section 10 hereof.

         20.     Amendment or Termination.

                 (a)      The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time
and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan.  Except as provided in Section
19 hereof, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided
that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any
Exercise Date if the Board determines that the termination of the Plan is in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.  Except as provided in
Section 19 hereof, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore
granted which adversely affects the rights of any participant.  To the extent
necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or
provision or any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the
Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree
as required.

                 (b)      Without shareholder consent and without regard to
whether any participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely
affected," the Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the
Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount
withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to
amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll
withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to
adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's processing of properly completed
withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods
and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied
toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond
with amounts withheld from the participant's Compensation, and establish such
other limitations or procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in
its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.

         21.     Notices.  All notices or other communications by a participant
to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have
been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the
location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

         22.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be
issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the
issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without
limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed,
and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.

                 As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may
require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time
of any such exercise that the shares are





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell
or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions
of law.

         23.     Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the
earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by
the shareholders of the Company.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten
(10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 20 hereof.

         24.     Automatic Transfer to Low Price Offering Period.  To the
extent permitted by any applicable laws, regulations, or stock exchange rules
if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on any Exercise Date in an
Offering Period is lower than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
Enrollment Date of such Offering Period, then all participants in such Offering
Period shall be automatically withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately
after the exercise of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically
re-enrolled in the immediately following Offering Period as of the first day
thereof.

         purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price
         determined in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  I
         understand that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period, any
         accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise
         my option.

4.       I have received a copy of the complete Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
         I understand that my participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
         is in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan.  I understand
         that my ability to exercise the option under this Subscription
         Agreement is subject to shareholder approval of the Employee Stock
         Purchase Plan.

5.       Shares purchased for me under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan should
         be issued in the name(s) of (Employee or Employee and Spouse only):
         _______________________________________________________________________
         ________________.

6.       I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant
         to the Plan within 2 years after the Enrollment Date (the first day of
         the Offering Period during which I purchased such shares) or one year
         after the Exercise Date, I will be treated for federal income tax
         purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such
         disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value
         of the shares at the time such shares were purchased by me
<PAGE>   12
         over the price which I paid for the shares.  I hereby agree to notify
         the Company in writing within 30 days after the date of any
         disposition of my shares and I will make adequate provision for
         Federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which
         arise upon the disposition of the Common Stock.  The Company may, but
         will not be obligated to, withhold from my compensation the amount
         necessary to meet any applicable withholding obligation including any
         withholding necessary to make available to the Company any tax
         deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
         Common Stock by me. If I dispose of such shares at any time after the
         expiration of the 2-year and 1-year holding periods, I understand that
         I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received
         income only at the time of such disposition, and that such income will
         be taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to
         the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at
         the time of such disposition over the purchase price which I paid for
         the shares, or (2) 15% of the fair market value of the shares on the
         first day of the Offering Period.  The remainder of the gain, if any,
         recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital gain.

7.       I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase
         Plan.  The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent
         upon my eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase
         Plan.

8.       In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my
         beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and shares due me under the
         Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
