Exhibit 10.10

                           SUNGARD DATA SYSTEMS INC.

                             1986 STOCK OPTION PLAN

1.   Purpose of Plan
     ---------------

     The purpose of the 1986 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") contained herein is
to provide additional incentive to key employees of SunGard Data Systems Inc. or
of any other corporation permitted by Section 422A(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code"), including current or future parent or
subsidiary corporations (the "Company") by encouraging those employees to invest
in shares of the Company's stock and thereby acquire a proprietary interest in
the business of the Company and an increased personal interest in their
continued success and progress to the mutual benefit of employees and
shareholders.

2.   Aggregate Number of Shares
     --------------------------

     The aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share, which may be issued under this Plan shall be 300,000 shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any change in the capitalization
of the Company such as by stock dividend, stock split or what the Compensation
Committee, as hereinafter defined, deems in its sole discretion to be similar
circumstances, the aggregate number and kind of shares which may be issued under
this Plan shall be appropriately adjusted in a manner determined in the sole
discretion of the Compensation Committee; provided, however, that such
adjustment shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company if required by
Section 422A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.  Reacquired shares of
the Company's Common Stock as well as unissued shares may be used for the
purpose of this Plan.  Shares of Common Stock subject to options which have
terminated unexercised, either in whole or in part, shall be available for
future options granted under this plan.

3.   Class of Employees Eligible to Receive Options
     ----------------------------------------------

     All officers and key employees of the Company are eligible to receive an
option or options under this Plan.  The officers and key employees who shall, in
fact, receive an option or options shall be selected by the Compensation
Committee, as hereinafter defined, in its sole discretion, except as otherwise
specified in Section 4 hereof.  No director who is not also an employee of the
Company shall be eligible to be granted an option or options under the Plan.

4.   Administration of Plan
     ----------------------

     (a) This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors.  The Committee shall consist
of a minimum of three members of the Board of Directors, each of whom shall be a
"disinterested person" as defined in Rule 16B-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.  The Committee shall, in addition to its other
authority and subject to the provision of this Plan, have authority in its sole
discretion to determine the officers and key employees of the Company and any
current or future parent or subsidiary corporation who are eligible to receive
options under this Plan, the officers and key employees who shall in fact be
granted an option or options, whether the option shall be an incentive stock
option or a non-qualified stock option (as hereinafter defined), the number of
shares to be subject to an option, the time or times at which an option shall be
granted, the rate at which an option shall be exercisable, and, subject to
Section 5 hereof, the price at which an option shall be exercisable and the
duration of the option.

 
     (b) The Committee shall adopt such rules for the conduct of its business
and administration of this Plan as it considers desirable.  A majority of the
members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for all purposes.  The vote
or written consent of a majority of the members of the Committee on a particular
matter shall constitute the act of the Committee on such matter.  The Committee
shall have the exclusive right to construe the Plan and the options issued
pursuant to it, correct defects and omissions and reconcile inconsistencies to
the extent necessary to effectuate the Plan and the options issued pursuant to
it, and such action shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties
concerned.  No member of the Committee or the Board of Directors shall be liable
for any act or omission (whether or not negligent) taken or omitted in good
faith, or for the exercise of an authority or discretion granted in connection
with the Plan to the Committee or the Board of Directors, or for the acts or
omissions of any other members of the Committee or the Board of Directors.
Subject to the numerical limitation on Committee memberships set forth in
Section 4(a) hereof, the Board of Directors may at any time appoint additional
members to the Committee and may at any time remove any member of the Committee
with or without cause.  Vacancies in the Committee, however caused, may be
filled by the Board of Directors, if it so desires.

5.   Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options
     ------------------------------------------------------

     (a) Options issued pursuant to this Plan may be either incentive stock
options granted pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof ("Incentive Stock Options") or
nonqualified stock options granted pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof
("Nonqualified Stock Options"), as determined by the Committee.  An Incentive
Stock Option is an option which satisfies all of the requirements of Section
422A of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and a Nonqualified Stock Option
is an option which does not satisfy certain of those requirements.  The
Committee may grant both an Incentive Stock Option and a Nonqualified Stock
Option to the same person, or more than one of each type of option to the same
person.  The option price for the Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock
Options granted under this Plan shall be equal to at least 100% of the fair
market value, as determined by the Committee in accordance with its
interpretation of the requirements of Section 422A of the Code and the
regulations thereunder, of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the grant
of the option; provided, however, that if an Incentive Stock Plan is granted to
an individual who, at the time the option is granted, owns shares possessing
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or its parent or subsidiary corporation, the option price shall not be
less than 110% of the fair market value, as determined by the Committee in
accordance with its interpretation of the requirements of Section 422A of the
Code and the regulations thereunder, of the Company's Common Stock on the date
of the grant of the option, and such option shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date such option is granted.

     (b) Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to this Plan shall be granted
substantially in the form set forth in Appendix I hereof, which form is hereby
incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and shall contain
substantially the terms and conditions set forth therein.  Notwithstanding any
other provisions hereof, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the
time an Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the stock for which any employee
may be granted Incentive Stock Options in any calendar year (under all Incentive
Stock Option plans of the Company and any parent and subsidiary corporation as
defined in Section 425(e) and (f) of the Code and the regulations thereunder)
shall not exceed $100,000, plus any unused limit carryover to such year.  The
unused limit carryover available in any calendar year to any employee shall be
determined in accordance with Section 422A(c)(4) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder.  Incentive Stock Options shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of ten years from the date such options are granted, unless
terminated earlier under the terms of the option or pursuant to the terms of
Section 5(a) above.  At the time of the grant of an Incentive Stock Option
hereunder the Committee may, in its discretion, modify or amend any of the
option terms contained in Appendix I for any particular optionee, provided that
the option as modified or amended satisfies the requirements of Section 422A of
the Code and the regulations thereunder.  Each of the options granted pursuant
to this Section 5(b) is intended, if possible, to be an Incentive Stock Option
as that term is defined in Section 422A of the Code and the regulations
thereunder.  In

 
the event this Plan or any option granted pursuant to this Section 5(B) is in
any way inconsistent with the applicable legal requirements of the Code or the
regulations thereunder for an incentive stock option, this Plan and such option
shall be deemed automatically amended as of the date hereof to conform to such
legal requirements, if such conformity may be achieved by amendment.

     (c) Nonqualified Stock Options granted pursuant to this Plan shall be
granted substantially in the form set forth in Appendix II hereof, which form is
hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and shall contain
substantially the terms and conditions set forth therein.  Nonqualified Stock
Options shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years and five days
after the date such options are granted, unless terminated earlier under the
option terms.  At the time of the grant of a Nonqualified Stock Option
hereunder, the Committee may, in its discretion, modify and amend any of the
option terms contained in Appendix II for any particular optionee, provided that
the option as modified or amended does not expire more than ten years and five
days from the date of its grant and the option price is not less than 100% of
the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of such grant.

     (d) Neither the Company nor any of its current or future parents,
subsidiaries or affiliates, nor their officers, directors, shareholders, stock
option plan committees, employees or agents shall have any liability to any
optionee in the event (i) an option granted pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof does
not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as that term is used in Section 422A of
the Code and the regulations thereunder, (ii) any optionee does not obtain the
tax benefits of such an Incentive Stock Option, or (iii) any option granted
pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof is determined to be an Incentive Stock Option.

6.   Stock Appreciation Rights
     -------------------------

     The Compensation Committee may grant an optionee a stock appreciation right
at the time of the grant of an option under this Plan, or at any time
thereafter.  Such right shall entitle the optionee to elect to surrender a
Nonqualified Stock Option with respect to unpurchased shares currently
exercisable at any time (subject to such terms and conditions as may be imposed
by the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant) during the life of the
option, and to receive therefor payment in the form of cash, shares of the
Company's Common Stock, or any combination of shares and cash, as determined by
the Compensation Committee in its discretion.  The amount of such payment shall
be equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares with
respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised and the option price
of those shares.  For the purposes of this section, the fair market value of
shares shall be determined by the Committee as of the last trading day prior to
the date the notice of exercise of the stock appreciation right is received by
the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee may establish such
reasonable restrictions and conditions on exercise (including, but not limited
to, waiting periods and exercise dates) of a stock appreciation right granted
under this Plan as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.

7.   Modification, Amendment, Suspension and Termination
     ---------------------------------------------------

     No option shall be granted pursuant to this Plan after the expiration of
ten years from and after the earlier of the date (i) the Plan is adopted, or
(ii) the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company.  The Board of
Directors reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify or
amend this Plan in any way, or to suspend or terminate it, effective as of such
date, which date may be either before or after the taking of such action, as may
be specified by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such action
shall not affect options granted under the Plan prior to the actual date on
which such action occurred.  If a modification or amendment of this Plan is
required by the Code or the regulations thereunder to be approved by the
shareholders of the Company in order to permit the granting of Incentive Stock
Options, as that term is defined in Section 422A of the Code and regulations
thereunder, pursuant to the modified or amended Plan, such modification or
amendment shall also be approved by the shareholder of the Company in such
manner as is prescribed

 
by the Code and the regulations thereunder.  If the Board of Directors
voluntarily submits a proposed modification, amendment, suspension or
termination for shareholder approval, such submission shall not require any
future modifications, amendments (whether or not relating to the same provision
or subject matter), suspensions or terminations to be similarly submitted for
shareholder approval.

8.   Effectiveness of Plan
     ---------------------

     The effective date of the Plan shall be January 31, 1986.  The Plan is
subject to approval by the holders of the Company's Common Stock in the manner
as prescribed in the Code and the regulations thereunder.  Options may be
granted under this plan prior to obtaining shareholder approval, provided such
options shall not be exercisable until shareholder approval is obtained.

9.   General Conditions
     ------------------

     (a) Nothing contained in this Plan or any option granted pursuant to this
Plan shall confer upon any employee the right to continue in the employ of the
Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated corporation, or interfere in any
way with the rights of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated
corporation to terminate his employment in any way.
 
     (b) Corporate action constituting an offer of stock for sale to any
employee under the terms of an option to be granted hereunder shall be deemed
completed as of the date the Committee authorizes the grant of such option to
the employee, regardless of when such option is actually delivered to the
employee or acknowledged or agreed to by him.

     (c) As a condition to the receipt of a grant of an option under this Plan,
an optionee must execute an Incentive Stock Option Agreement and/or a
Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which the optionee agrees, inter
                                                                           -----
alia, to the terms and conditions imposed by the Compensation Committee upon his
----                                                                            
exercise of options granted under this Plan.  Such terms and conditions may
include a requirement that, upon his separation from the service of the Company
prior to attaining a specified period of service, the optionee must resell to
the Company any stock acquired pursuant to this Plan at a price equal to the
original exercise price paid by the optionee for the shares in question.  The
stock option agreement may contain additional terms and conditions as determined
by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

     (d) The terms "parent corporation" and "subsidiary corporation" as used
throughout this Plan shall (except as otherwise provided in the option form)
have the meaning ascribed to those terms in Sections 422A(b), 425(e) and 425(f),
respectively, of the code and the regulations thereunder, and the Company shall
be deemed to be the grantor corporation for  purposes of applying such meaning.

     (e) References in this Plan to the Code shall be deemed to also refer to
the corresponding provisions of any future United States revenue law.

     (f) The use of the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine gender
whenever appropriate.

                                AMENDMENT NO. 1
                                       TO
                             1986 STOCK OPTION PLAN
                             ----------------------

     In accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors at its
meeting on February 4, 1987, the SunGard Data Systems Inc. 1986 Stock Option
Plan ("Plan") is amended as follows:

     1.  Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) any reference in the Plan to
the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or to the Code shall be deemed to
be a reference to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (b) any
reference in the Plan to any section of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended, or of the Code shall be deemed to be a reference to the appropriate
corresponding section of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     2.  Section 5(b) of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

         "(b) Incentive Stock Options issued pursuant to this Plan shall be
         issued substantially in the form set forth in Appendix I hereof, which
         form is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and
         shall contain substantially the terms and conditions set forth therein.
         Incentive Stock Options shall expire ten years after the date they are
         granted, unless terminated earlier under the option terms. With respect
         to Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder before January 1, 1987,
         the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the
         Incentive Stock Options are granted) of the stock for which any
         employee may be granted Incentive Stock Options in any calendar year
         (under all Incentive Stock Option plans of the Company and any parent
         and subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed $100,000 plus any unused
         limit carryover to such year. With respect to Incentive Stock Options
         granted hereunder before January 1, 1987, the unused limit carryover
         available in any calendar year to any employee shall be determined in
         accordance with Section 422A(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of
         1954, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, as such existed
         before the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. With respect to
         Incentive Stock Options granted on and after January 1, 1987, the
         aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the Incentive
         Stock Options are granted) of the stock with respect to which Incentive
         Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during
         any calendar year (under all plans of the optionee's employer
         corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations which permit the
         granting of Incentive Stock Options) shall not exceed $100,000. At the
         time of granting an Incentive Stock Option hereunder, the Committee
         may, in its discretion, modify or amend any of the option terms
         contained in Appendix I for any particular optionee, provided that the
         option as modified or amended continues to be an Incentive Stock
         Option. Each of the options granted pursuant to this Section 5(b) is
         intended, if possible, to be an "Incentive Stock Option" as that term
         is defined in Section 422A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
         In the event this plan or any option granted pursuant to this Section
         5(b) is in any way inconsistent with the applicable legal requirements
         of the Code or the regulations thereunder for an Incentive Stock
         Option, this Plan and such option shall be deemed automatically amended
         as of the date hereof to conform to such legal requirements, if such
         conformity may be achieved by amendment."

     3.  Appendix I to the Plan is amended in its entirety to conform to the
attachment to this Amendment.

 
     4.  This amendment shall be effective as of January 1,1987, and reflects
the manner in which the Plan has operated since December 31, 1986.

annual meeting of stockholders, then, without any further action by the
corporation or its Board of Directors, this Amendment shall be treated as having
never become effective and shall be of no force or effect.

In accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of SunGard
Data Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company"), at its meeting held on
November 8, 1991, the SunGard Data Systems Inc. 1986 Stock Option Plan, as
previously amended ("Plan"), is amended as follows:

NEW SECTION 10.  Effective on the Effective Date (as defined below), new Section
10 is added to the Plan as follows:

     10.  Change in Control Provisions
          ----------------------------

          (a) With respect to each option granted under this Plan, whether
     granted before, on or after the Effective Date, if a Change in Control of
     the Company (as defined in Section 10(b) hereof) occurs, then all unvested
     shares under such option (if any are then unvested) shall automatically
     vest, without further action by the Company or the optionee, six months
     after the Change in Control of the Company occurred or, if sooner, upon a
     termination of the optionee's employment with the Company for any reason
     other than for Cause (as defined in Section 10(c) hereof).  This provision
     shall not prevent the earlier vesting of any shares that otherwise would
     have vested during such period.

          (b) For purposes of this Section 10, a "Change in Control of the
     Company" means:  (i) the occurrence of an event that would, if known to the
     management of SunGard Data Systems Inc. ("SunGard"), be required to be
     reported by SunGard under Item 1(a) of Form 8-K pursuant to the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"); or (ii) the acquisition or receipt,
                                            --                                 
     in any manner, by any person (as defined for purposes of the Exchange Act)
     or any group of persons acting in concert, of direct or indirect beneficial
     ownership (as defined for purposes of the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of
     the combined voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote for the
     election of directors of SunGard; or (iii) a change in the constituency of
                                       --                                      
     the Board of Directors of SunGard ("Board") with the result that
     individuals (the "Incumbent Directors") who are members of the Board on the
     date of this Amendment cease for any reason to constitute at least a
     majority of the Board, provided that any individual who is elected to the
     Board after the date of this Amendment and whose nomination for election
     was unanimously approved by the Incumbent Directors shall be considered an
     Incumbent Director beginning on the date of his or her election to the
     Board; or (iv) the sale, exchange or other disposition of all or a

     significant portion of the Company's business or assets, or the execution
     by the Company of a binding agreement providing for such a transaction.

          (c) For purposes of this Section 10, a termination by the Company of
     an optionee's employment with the Company shall be for "Cause" only if:
     (i) at least two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of the
     optionee's employer-company ("Employer-Board") determined that the optionee
     (x) was guilty of gross negligence or

 
     willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duties for the Company,
     or (y) breached or violated, in a material respect, any agreement between
     the optionee and the Company or any of the Company's policy statements
     regarding conflicts-of-interest, insider trading or confidentiality, or (z)
     committed a material act of dishonesty or breach of trust; and (ii) such
                                                                ---          
     determination was made at a duly convened meeting of the Employer-Board
     with respect to which the optionee received at least 10 days prior written
     notice, had a reasonable opportunity to attend (with counsel of his or her
     choice), and had a reasonable opportunity to make a statement and answer
     the allegations against him or her; and (iii) either (x) the optionee was
                                         ---                                  
     given a reasonable opportunity to take remedial action but failed or
     refused to do so, or (y) at least two-thirds of the members of the
     Employer-Board also determined, at such meeting, that an opportunity to
     take remedial action would not have been meaningful under the
     circumstances.

          (d) For all purposes of this Section 10:  (i) if an optionee is
     employed by a subsidiary of SunGard and such subsidiary ceases to be a
     subsidiary of SunGard, then the optionee's employment with the Company will
     be deemed to have been terminated by the Company without Cause, unless the
     optionee is transferred to SunGard or another subsidiary of SunGard; (ii)
     an optionee's employment with the Company will not be deemed to have been
     terminated if the optionee is transferred from SunGard to a subsidiary of
     SunGard, or vice versa, or from one subsidiary of SunGard to another; and
     (iii) if an optionee terminates his or her employment with the Company
     following a reduction in his or her rate of compensation, then the
     optionee's employment with the Company will be deemed to have been
     terminated by the Company without Cause.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF NEW SECTION 10.  The "Effective Date" of New Section 10 of the
Plan shall be November 8, 1991, unless postponed as follows:

     (1) The addition of New Section 10 to the Plan has been under consideration
by the Board since at least February 1991.  The Company was not during that
period, and the Company is not on the date of this Amendment, planning,
negotiating or consummating any plan of combination (as defined in A.P.B. 16)
that was or is intended to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  The
addition of new Section 10 to the Plan, therefore, has not been adopted in
contemplation of any pooling-of-interests transaction.

     (2) It is the Company's express intention that the addition of new Section
10 to the Plan will not, by itself, prohibit the use of pooling-of-interests
accounting treatment for any plan of combination in which the Company desires to
participate and as to which the parties desire to use pooling-of-interests
accounting treatment.

     (3) If, within two years after the date of this Amendment, any such plan of
combination in which the Company desires to participate is initiated (as defined
in A.P.B. 16), but the independent auditors of the Company or of a party that
intends to acquire control of the Company will not approve pooling-of-interests
accounting treatment for the sole reason that new Section 10 was added to the
                             ----                                            
Plan within the two years preceding the initiation of such plan of combination,
then the Company shall in good faith use its best efforts to secure such
approval of such independent auditors by, for example, seeking an appropriate
no-action letter or other consent from the Securities and Exchange Commission or
taking such other appropriate actions, if any are reasonably possible, that will
secure such approval.

 
     (4) If, despite such efforts, such independent auditors remain unable to
approve the use of pooling-of-interests accounting treatment for such plan of
combination for the sole reason that new Section 10 was added to the Plan within
                    ----                                                        
the two years preceding the initiation of such plan of combination, then the
"Effective Date" of new Section 10 of the Plan shall be postponed until the
earliest date that will permit such independent auditors to approve the use of
pooling-of-interests accounting treatment for such plan of combination, but not
later than November 8, 1993.

  3. Eligibility of Employees
     ------------------------

     The conditions set out in paragraph 3 of the US Plan should be taken to be
     expanded as below for UK purposes.

     a.  All participants must be qualifying employees of the Company or any of
         its affiliates; provided, however, that all participants must also meet
         the requirements for participation under the US Internal Revenue Code.

     b.  Also, in the UK no participant may have, or have had within the
         preceding twelve months, a material interest in a close company within
         the meaning of Chapter I or Part XI of the Income and Corporation Taxes
         Act 1988, which is:

         (i)  A company the shares of which may be acquired pursuant to the
              exercise of rights obtained under the Plan; or

         Schedule 9 Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 may not be granted or
         exercise an option while so precluded.
 
  4. Stock Option
     ------------

     The nature of the Stock Options is covered by paragraph 5 of the US Plan,
     with the following amendments:

     a.  For UK purposes, payment or exercise will only be in cash.

 
     b.  Notwithstanding the conditions of the US Plan regarding the timing of
         the exercising of options, options shall only be exercisable after the
         first anniversary of the grant of the relevant options and prior to the
         tenth anniversary thereof or the earlier expiration thereof. Where an
         individual exercises any option before three years from the date the
         option was granted he shall not receive the UK tax advantages
         prescribed in Section 185 (2) and (3) of the UK Income and Corporation
         Taxes Act 1988.

         Furthermore, if an option is exercised as provided in the US plan and
         such exercise is within three years of the exercise of an option which
         is approved under Section 185, the second option only will not receive
         the UK tax advantages prescribed in Section 185 (2) and (3) of the
         Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

     c.  The provisions of the Appendix I of the US plan relating to the
         Company's repurchase rights do not apply in the UK. For UK purposes
         only vested shares may be acquired upon exercise of options granted
         under the plan.

     d.  Any adjustment to the Option Shares and Option Price as a result of a
         stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other variation in
         share capital will only be made following UK Inland Revenue approval.

  5. Limitation of Rights
     --------------------

     The conditions of paragraph 5 of the US Plan are expanded to contain the
     following:

     a.  Notwithstanding paragraph 5(b), as amended, of the US Plan, stock
         options may not be granted if they exceed the lower of the limits set
         out in (i) paragraph 5(b) of the US Plan or, (ii) the UK limits set out
         below.

     b.  Options may not be granted to the participant in the UK at any time if
         to do so would cause the aggregate of the Option Price for all
         subsisting Options granted to the Participant under the UK Plan or any
         other share option scheme approved by the Board of Inland Revenue under
         the provisions of Schedule 9, established by the Company or by any
         associated company of the company to exceed a sum equal to the greater
         of 100,000 pounds in sterling or four times the Participant's relevant
         emoluments at the exchange rate ruling on the date of the grant.

     c.  No additional conditions restricting exercise will be imposed without
         prior Inland Revenue approval.

  6. Amendments
     ----------

     No amendments shall have effect for the purposes of the UK Plan until
     approved by the UK Inland Revenue.  Conditions imposed under Clause 9(c) of
     the US Plan shall not be effective for

 
     the purposes of the UK Plan prior to UK Inland Revenue approval.

  7. Scheme Shares
     -------------

     a. For the avoidance of doubt, it is confirmed that the scheme shares
        described in Appendix I of the US Plan will satisfy the provisions of
        paragraph 10 to 14 of the Schedule 9.

     b. Shares will be allotted within the thirty (30) days of the date of
        exercise, subject to clause 3 of Appendix I of the US Scheme

  8. Stock Appreciation Rights
     -------------------------

     Clause 6 of the US Plan shall not apply for the purposes of the UK Plan.
