                                 ADDENDUM
                                    TO
                          STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


          The following provisions are hereby incorporated into,
and are hereby made a part of, that certain Stock Option
Agreement dated                        , 199    (the "Option
Agreement") by and between Amdahl Corporation (the "Corporation")
and                      ("Optionee") evidencing the stock option
granted on such date to Optionee under the terms of the
Corporation's 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, and such provisions
shall be effective immediately.  All capitalized terms used in
this Addendum, to the extent not otherwise specifically defined
herein, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Option Agreement.

                             HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

          1.   The exercisability of the option shall not
accelerate upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, and the
option shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Option
Agreement, continue to become exercisable for the Option Shares
in one or more installments over Optionee's continued period of
Service with the Corporation.  However, immediately upon the
Involuntary Termination of Optionee's Service within eighteen
(18) months after the Hostile Take-Over, the option shall, to the
extent outstanding at the time but not otherwise fully
exercisable, automatically accelerate so that the option shall
become immediately exercisable for all of the Option Shares at
the time subject to the option and may be exercised for all or
any portion of those shares as fully-vested shares.  The option
as so accelerated shall remain so exercisable until the specified
Expiration Date of the option term or the sooner termination of
the option in accordance with the provisions of the Option
Agreement.

          2.   For purposes of this Addendum, a HOSTILE TAKE-OVER
shall be deemed to occur upon:

          -    the direct or indirect acquisition by any person
or related group of persons of securities possessing more than    
 percent (  %) of the total combined voting power of the
Corporation's outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or
exchange offer made directly to the Corporation's stockholders
which the Board does not recommend such stockholders to accept,
or

          -    a change in the composition of the Board over any
period of thirty-six (36) consecutive months or less such that a
majority of the Board members (rounded up to the next whole
number) ceases, by reason of one or more contested elections for
Board membership, to be comprised of individuals who either (a)
have been Board members continuously since the beginning of such
period or (b) have been elected or nominated for election as
Board members during such period by at least a majority of the
Board members described in clause (a) who were still in office at
the time such election or nomination was approved by the Board.

          3.   For purposes of this Addendum, Optionee will be
deemed to cease Service by reason of an INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION
if such cessation of Service occurs:

               -    involuntarily upon Optionee's dismissal or
discharge by the Corporation for reasons other than Misconduct,
or

               -    voluntarily upon Optionee's resignation
following (A) a change in Optionee's position with the
Corporation which materially reduces Optionee's level of
responsibility, (B) a reduction in Optionee's level of
compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and
participation in any incentive program or bonus plan pursuant to
which awards are made pursuant to objective, non-discretionary
standards) by more than five percent (5%) or (C) a relocation of
Optionee's principal place of employment by more than fifty (50)
miles from Optionee's principal place of employment immediately
prior to the Hostile Take-Over, provided and only if such change,
reduction or relocation is effected without Optionee's consent.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Amdahl Corporation has caused this
Addendum to be executed by its duly-authorized officer, and
Optionee has executed this Addendum, all as of the Effective Date
specified below.
