                         ------------------------

RECITALS
- --------

     A.   The Board of Directors of Amdahl Corporation
("Corporation")  has adopted and approved the Corporation's Stock
Option Plans (1971, 1974, and 1982), as amended (the "Plan" or
the "Plans") for the purpose of attracting and retaining the
services of selected executive and other key employees, and for
the purpose of providing an incentive to encourage and stimulate
increased efforts by them.


     B.   Optionee is a selected executive or other key employee
within the meaning of the Plan, and this Notice of Grant of Stock
Option and Grant Agreement ("Agreement") is executed pursuant to,
and is intended to carry out the purpose of, the Plan in
connection with the granting of a stock option to Optionee by the
Corporation.


     C.   The granted option is intended to be an incentive stock
option ("Incentive Option") within the meaning of Section 422A of
the Internal Revenue Code.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:


     1.   Grant of Option.  Subject to and upon the terms and 
          ---------------
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Corporation hereby
grants to Optionee a stock option, as of the grant date specified
in the accompanying Notice of Grant of Stock Option, and Grant
Agreement, to purchase shares of the Corporation's common stock
(which shares are hereinafter called " option shares") during the
specified term of this option, in such number and at such price,
being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market
value thereof on the grant date, as is specified in the
accompanying Notice of Grant of Stock Option and Grant Agreement.


     2.   Specified Term.  The term of this option shall be the 
          --------------
period commencing on the date of this Agreement which is the date
of the granting of this option, and, subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 7 and 8(c) hereof, ending three (3) months after the
date of termination of Optionee's employment for any cause
whatsoever; provided, however, that in any event, unless sooner
terminated, the specified term of this option shall end upon the
expiration of the ten (10)-year period measured from the grant
date of this option, and this option shall be of no further force
and effect and shall not be exercisable to any extent after the
expiration of such ten (10)-year period.


     3.   Optionee Nontransferable; Exception.  This option shall

          -----------------------------------
not be transferable or assignable by Optionee otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and may be
exercised, during Optionee's lifetime, only be Optionee.


     4.   Time of Exercising Option.  Subject to the provisions
          -------------------------
of Paragraph 8(c), Optionee shall have no right to purchase any of
the option shares except in accordance with the exercisability
schedule specified in the accompanying Notice of Grant of Stock
Option and Grant Agreement.  Within the limitations provided in
said Notice, Optionee may, within the specified term of this
option and pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, purchase
any or all of the option shares in accordance with the above
mentioned schedule.


     5.   Limitation on Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provision
          ----------------------
to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing
a stock option granted to Optionee under the Plan or any other
option plan of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, this option
may under no circumstances be exercised while there remains
outstanding (within the meaning of subsection (c) (7) of Section
422A of the Internal Revenue Code) any other Incentive Option
which was granted at an earlier date to Optionee to purchase
stock in the Corporation or any other corporation which is on the
date of grant of this option either a parent or subsidiary of the
Corporation or a predecessor corporation of any such
corporations.


     6.   Exercise of Option on Termination of Employment.  If
          -----------------------------------------------
for any reason whatsoever, Optionee's employment is terminated within
the specified term of this option, all rights under this option
shall terminate, and this option shall cease to be outstanding,
three (3) months after such termination of employment; provided,
however, that during such three (3) month period, Optionee shall
be entitled to exercise this option only with respect to that
number of option shares (if any) for which this option is in
accordance with the installment provisions of Paragraph 4
exercisable on the date of such termination of employment.


     7.   Exercise of Option After Optionee's Death.  Any
          -----------------------------------------
provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, should
Optionee die while this option is outstanding, the executors or
administrators of Optionee's estate, or Optionee's heirs or
legatees, as the case may be, shall have the right to exercise
this option, but only with respect to that number of option
shares, (if any) for which this option is in accordance with the
installment provisions of paragraph 4 exercisable on the date of
Optionee's death.  Such right shall lapse, and this option shall
terminate, upon the earlier of 

          (i)  the expiration of one (1) year after the date of
Optionee's death; or

          (ii) the expiration of ten (10) years after the grant
date of this option.


     8.   Adjustment in Option Shares.
          ---------------------------
          (a)  In the event of any increase or decrease in the
number of outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock
resulting from a recapitalization, payment of a common stock
dividend, stock split, combination of shares or any other
increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected
without receipt of consideration by the Corporation, the number
of the option shares then subject to this option and the option
price per share shall be proportionately adjusted for such
increase or decrease without any change in the aggregate purchase
for the option shares.

          (b)  If the Corporation shall be the surviving
corporation in any merger or consolidation, this option shall
pertain to and apply the securities to which a holder of the
number of shares of common stock which are subject to this option
would have been entitled, and there shall be substituted with
respect to the option share then subject to this option a new
option upon the same terms as set forth in this Agreement except
for necessary changes in the number, kind or price of such option
shares a may be necessitated by such a merger or consolidation,
with the result that Optionee shall, upon exercise, receive under
such new option the same shares or securities as he would have
received pursuant to such merger or consolidation with respect to
such option shares had he purchased such option shares under this
Agreement immediately prior to such merger or consolidation.

          (c)  A dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or
a merger or consolidation in which Corporation is not the
surviving corporation shall cause this option to terminate upon
the effective date of such dissolution, liquidation, merger or
consolidation; provided, however, that Optionee shall have the
right to purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the option shares
not theretofore purchased by him at any time during the fifteen
(15) day period immediately prior to the effective date of such
dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation in which
Corporation is not the surviving corporation.  This option
agreement shall not in any way affect the right of Corporation to
make changes of its capital structure or to merge or consolidate
or to dissolve, liquidate or sell all or any part of its business
or its assets.

     9.   Privilege of Stock Ownership.  Optionee shall not have 
          ----------------------------
any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the option
shares except to the extent that this option is exercised for
such shares and certificates for the purchased shares are
actually issued and delivered to Optionee pursuant to this
option.


     10.  Manner of Exercising Option.
          --------------------------- 
          (a)  This option may be exercised only as to whole
shares and only by written notice signed by Optionee (or in the
case of exercise after Optionee's death, by Optionee's executor,
administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be), and given to
the Secretary of the Corporation.  Such notice shall: 

          (i)  Specify the number of option shares with respect
to which the option is being exercised;

          (ii) Be accompanied by:

               (A)  full payment in cash or cash equivalent, such
as a certified check payable to the Corporation's order, of the
option price for the option shares being purchased;

               (B)  full payment in shares of common stock of the
Corporation having a Fair Marker Value on the Exercise Date (as
such terms are defined below) equal to the option shares being
purchased; or

               (C)  a combination of shares of common stock of
the Corporation valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date
and cash or cash equivalent, equal in the aggregate to the option
price for the option shares being purchased; and

          (iii)  Include appropriate documentation that the
person or persons exercising the option, if other than Optionee,
have the right to exercise this option.

          (b)  For purposes of Paragraph 10(a) above, the Fair
Market Value of a share of the Corporation's common stock shall
be the mean of the lowest and highest selling prices of one share
of such common stock on the Exercise Date on the principal
exchange on which the common stock is then listed or admitted to
trading, as such prices are officially quoted by the composite
tape of transactions on such exchange.  The Exercise Date shall
be the date on which written notice of the exercise of this
option is delivered to the Corporation.

          (c)  This option shall be deemed to have been exercised
with respect to the option shares specified in the notice of
exercise at such time as such notice shall have been delivered to
the Corporation, together with any representations requested by
the Corporation pursuant to Paragraph 11(b).  Payment of the
option price shall immediately become due and shall accompany the
notice of exercise.  As soon thereafter as practical Corporation
shall mail or deliver to Optionee or to the other person or
persons exercising this option a certificate or certificates
representing the shares so purchased and paid for.


     11.  Compliance with Laws and Regulations.
          ------------------------------------
          (a)  The exercise of this option and the issuance of
option shares upon the exercise of this option shall be subject
to compliance by Corporation and by Optionee with all applicable
requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable
regulations of any stock exchange on which the Corporation's
common stock may be listed at the time of such exercise and
issuance.

          (b)  Prior to exercise of the option hereunder,
Optionee shall execute and deliver to the Corporation such
representations in writing as may be requested by the Corporation
in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of
federal and state securities laws.


     12.  Optionee's Employment.  As used in this Agreement, the 
          ---------------------
term "Optionee's employment" means the employment of Optionee by
Corporation or by any subsidiary corporation (as defined in the
Plan).  Except to the extent the terms of any employment contract
between the Corporation and the Optionee may expressly provide
otherwise, the Corporation (or any subsidiary corporation
employing the Optionee) shall have the right to terminate or
change the terms of employment of Optionee at any time for any
reason whatsoever.


     13.  Notices.  Any notice required to be given to the 
          -------
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing
and addressed to the Corporation in care of its Secretary at its
Corporate Offices at 1250 East Arques Avenue, Sunnyvale,
California 94086.  Any notice to be given to Optionee shall be in

          ----------------------

the option evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the
plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the
express provisions of the plan applicable to incentive options. 
Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall
be submitted by Optionee or by Corporation forthwith to the Board
of Directors of Corporation for resolution.  The resolution of
such dispute by the Board of Directors shall be final and binding
upon all parties having an interest in this option.

     16.  Liability of Corporation. 
          ------------------------
          (a)  If the option shares covered by this Agreement
exceed the number of shares which may without shareholder
approval be issued under the plan as of the date hereof, then
this option shall be void with respect to such excess shares
unless shareholder approval of an Amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares issuable under the Plan is
obtained in accordance with Section IX of the plan.

          (b)  The inability of Corporation to obtain approval
from any regulatory body having authority deemed by Corporation
to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any common
stock hereunder shall relieve Corporation of any liability in
respect of the non-issuance or sale of such common stock as to
which approval shall not have been obtained.
