     The following constitute the provisions of the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan of Adept Technology, Inc.

     1. Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company
and its Designated  Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of
the Company through accumulated  payroll deductions.  It is the 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.

     2. Definitions.

continuing  intact  while  the  individual  is on sick  leave or other  leave of
absence  approved by the Company.  Where the period of leave exceeds 90 days and

contract,  the employment  relationship will be deemed to have terminated on the

National Market of The Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market,  its
Fair Market  Value shall be the closing  sale price for the Common Stock (or the
mean of the closing bid and asked prices, if no sales were reported),  as quoted
on such exchange (or the exchange with the greatest  volume of trading in Common
Stock) or  system on the date of such  determination,  as  reported  in The Wall
Street Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable; or

               (2) If the  Common  Stock is  regularly  quoted  by a  recognized
securities  dealer but selling  prices are not  reported,  its Fair Market Value
shall be the mean of the  closing bid and asked  prices for the Common  Stock on
the date of such  determination,  as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such
other source as the Board deems reliable; or

               (3) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock,
the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

         (k)  "Offering  Period" shall mean the period of  approximately  twelve
(12)  months  during  which  an  option  granted  pursuant  to the  Plan  may be
exercised,  commencing on the first Trading Day on or after May 1 and November 1
of each year and terminating on the last Trading Day in the period ending twelve

     3. Eligibility.

         (a) Any Employee (as defined in Section 2(g)), who shall be employed by
the Company on a given  Enrollment  Date shall be eligible to participate in the
Plan.

         (b) Any  provisions  of the Plan to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  no
Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) if, immediately after the
grant,  such  Employee (or any other person whose stock would be  attributed  to
such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of
the Company and/or hold  outstanding  options to purchase such stock  possessing
five  percent  (5%) or more of the total  combined  voting power or value of all
classes of the capital stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary,  or (ii) which
permits his or her rights to purchase  stock under all employee  stock  purchase
plans of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries  to accrue at a rate which  exceeds
twenty-five  thousand dollars  ($25,000) worth of stock  (determined at the fair
market value of the shares at the time such option is granted) for each calendar
year in which such 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 May 1 and November 1 each year, or on such other date as
the Board  shall  determine,  and  continuing  thereafter  until  terminated  in
accordance with Section 19 hereof.  The Board shall have the power to change the
duration of Offering  Periods  (including the  commencement  dates thereof) with
respect to future  offerings  without  shareholder  approval  if such  change is
announced at least five (5) days prior to the  scheduled  beginning of the first
Offering Period to be affected thereafter.

     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,  and the aggregate of such payroll deductions during the Offering Period
shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the participant's  Compensation during
said Offering Period.

                                       -3-




         (b) All payroll  deductions made for a participant shall be credited to
his or her  account  under the Plan and will 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 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 0% at such time  during any  Purchase
Period which is scheduled to end during the current  calendar year (the "Current
Purchase  Period")  that the  aggregate  of all  payroll  deductions  which were
previously  used to  purchase  stock under the Plan in a prior  Purchase  Period
which ended during that  calendar year plus all payroll  deductions  accumulated
with respect to the Current  Purchase Period equal $21,250.  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
Company may,  but will 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 a
number of Shares  determined  by dividing  $12,500 by the Fair Market Value of a
share of the Company's Common Stock 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, and
shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

                                       -4-




     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 will
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  will  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; Termination of Employment.

         (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 will be paid to such  participant  promptly after
receipt of notice of withdrawal and such  participant's  option for the Offering
Period will be automatically  terminated,  and no further payroll deductions for
the purchase of shares will be made for such Offering  Period.  If a participant
withdraws from an Offering  Period,  payroll  deductions  will not resume at the
beginning of the succeeding  Offering Period unless the participant  delivers to
the Company a new subscription agreement.

         (b) Upon a  participant's  ceasing  to be an  Employee  (as  defined in
Section 2(g) hereof),  for any reason,  he or she will 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 will be returned  to such  participant  or, in the case of his or her
death, to the person or persons  entitled  thereto under Section 14 hereof,  and
such  participant's  option  will 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.

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

     12. Stock.

         (a) The maximum  number of shares of the  Company's  Common Stock which
shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be Eight Hundred  Thousand
(800,000)  shares,  subject to adjustment upon changes in  capitalization of the
Company as provided in Section 18 hereof. If, on

                                       -5-




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.

         (b) The  participant  will 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 will be
registered in the name of the  participant or in the name of the participant and
his or her spouse.

     13.  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.

     14. 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.

     15. 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 14 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.

                                       -6-




     16. 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.

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

     18. 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  as well as the price per share 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  Periods will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action,  unless otherwise
provided by the Board.

         (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 option under the Plan shall be assumed or
an equivalent  option shall be substituted  by such  successor  corporation or a
parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Board determines,
in the  exercise  of its  sole  discretion  and in lieu of  such  assumption  or
substitution,  to shorten the Offering Periods then in progress by setting a new
Exercise  Date (the "New  Exercise  Date").  If the Board  shortens the Offering
Periods then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
merger or sale of assets, 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 his  option  has been  changed  to the New  Exercise  Date and that his
option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to
such date he has  withdrawn  from the Offering  Period as provided in Section 10
hereof.  For purposes of this paragraph,  an option granted under the Plan shall
be deemed to be assumed if,  following the sale of assets or merger,  the option
confers the right to  purchase,  for each share of option  stock  subject to the
option  immediately  prior to the sale of assets or  merger,  the  consideration
(whether stock,  cash or other  securities or property)  received in the sale of
assets or merger by holders of Common Stock for each

                                       -7-




share of Common Stock held on the effective date of the transaction (and if such
holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen
by the  holders  of a  majority  of the  outstanding  shares of  Common  Stock);
provided,  however, that if such consideration received in the sale of assets or
merger was not solely  common stock of the successor  corporation  or its parent
(as defined in Section  424(e) of the Code),  the Board may, with the consent of
the successor  corporation,  provide for the  consideration  to be received upon
exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Common Stock and the sale of assets or merger.

     19. 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 18 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 18
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 or  regulation),  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.

     20. 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.

     21.  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.

                                       -8-




         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 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.

     22. 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 19 hereof.

     23.  Automatic  Transfer  to Low  Price  Offering  Period.  To  the  extent
permitted by any  applicable  laws,  regulations  or stock exchange or quotation
system 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.

                                       -9-

         Offering  Period in accordance  with the Employee  Stock Purchase Plan.
         (Please note that no fractional percentages are permitted.)

3.       I understand that said payroll  deductions shall be accumulated for the
         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  "Adept  Technology,  Inc. 1995
         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 obtaining  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 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:
