The Board of Directors of the Company held seven meetings during the year
ended December 31, 1996 and acted once by unanimous written consent. The Board
of Directors has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. It does not
have a nominating committee or a committee performing the function of a
nominating committee. From time to time, the Board has created various ad hoc
committees for special purposes. No such committee is currently functioning.

The Audit Committee currently consists of directors Alan C. Crites and
William H. Younger, Jr. The Audit Committee held two meetings during the last
fiscal year. The Audit Committee reviews the internal accounting procedures of
the Company and consults with and reviews the services provided by the Company's
independent auditors.

The Compensation Committee currently consists of directors David Dominik,
Dennis G. Sisco and William H. Younger, Jr. The Compensation Committee held four
meetings during the last fiscal year. The Compensation Committee reviews and
recommends to the Board the compensation and benefits of all executive officers
of the Company, administers the Company's 1996 Stock Plan and 1996 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan with respect to grants made thereunder to executive
officers, and reviews general policies relating to compensation and benefits of
employees of the Company.

Directors and of the committees of the Board on which the director served.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Directors do not currently receive any cash compensation from the Company
for their service as members of the Board of Directors, although they are
reimbursed for certain reasonable expenses in connection with attendance at
Board and Committee meetings. Under the 1996 Director Option Plan (the "Director
Plan"), each director who is not an employee of the Company receives an option
to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock upon joining the Board of Directors.
In addition, on the first day following each annual meeting of stockholders,
each re-elected nonemployee director who has served as a director for at least
six months will receive an option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock. The
exercise price of all options

5
8

granted under the Director Plan equals the fair market value of the Company's
Common Stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the Director Plan vest
monthly over twelve months from the date of grant. Options to purchase an
aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock were granted under the Director Plan
at a weighted average exercise price of $10.30 in 1996. Employee directors do
not receive any compensation, expense reimbursement or stock option grants for
serving as directors or for attending Board or Committee meetings.

In January 1996, the Board of Directors granted an option to purchase
12,500 shares of Common Stock at $2.50 per share to Alan W. Crites in
consideration for working with the Company to implement a method to establish
operational goals and to measure progress against those goals.

Under the terms of indemnification agreements with each of the Company's
directors, the Company is obligated to indemnify each director against certain
claims and expenses for which the director might be held liable in connection
with past or future service on the Board. In addition, the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation provides that, to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Company's Compensation Committee currently consists of directors David
Dominik, Dennis G. Sisco and William H. Younger, Jr. No executive officer of the
Company served on the compensation committee of another entity or on any other
committee of the board of directors of another entity performing similar
functions during the last fiscal year.

VOTE REQUIRED

The nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the
shares of the Company's Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the annual
meeting shall be elected as the directors of the Company. Votes withheld from
any nominee will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence
of a quorum but are not counted as affirmative votes.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" ELECTION
OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2:

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has selected the firm of Price Waterhouse LLP,
independent auditors, to audit the financial statements of the Company for the
year ending December 31, 1997, and recommends that stockholders vote for
ratification of this appointment. In the event of a negative vote, the Board of
Directors will reconsider its selection. Price Waterhouse LLP has audited the
Company's financial statements (and those of the predecessor to the Company)
since 1993. Representatives of Price Waterhouse LLP are expected to be present
at the meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire
to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP AS THE COMPANY'S
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1997.

PROPOSAL NO. 3:

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") provides an
opportunity for employees to invest in the Company's Common Stock at a discount
from the market price through voluntary payroll deductions. Employee
participation in the Purchase Plan has been very broad based. Approximately 85%
of

6
9

the Company's eligible employees participated in the Purchase Plan during the
purchase period ended October 31, 1996 and approximately 74% of the Company's
eligible employees are participating in the current purchase period which will
end on April 30, 1997. The Board believes that the continued opportunity for
employee equity participation under the Purchase Plan will be beneficial to the
Company and its stockholders by promoting the attraction and retention of
employees and by motivating employees to contribute to the Company's success. As
a result of the high levels of participation and the increasing number of
employees of the Company, the Board of Directors has concluded that an increase
in the number of shares available for issuance under the Purchase Plan is
essential to continuation thereof. A summary of the Purchase Plan is set forth
below.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT

The Purchase Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in March 1996 and
approved by the stockholders in April 1996. The Purchase Plan became effective
in May 1996 upon consummation of the Company's initial public offering. In March
1997, the Board amended the Purchase Plan to increase the total number of shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan from its initial
level of 250,000 shares to 600,000 shares. At the Annual Meeting, the
stockholders are being asked to approve this amendment.

PURCHASE PLAN ACTIVITY

As of the Record Date, the Company had issued and sold an aggregate of
45,324 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Plan. The Company
anticipates issuing approximately 75,000 additional shares of Common Stock in
connection with the purchase period ending on April 30, 1997.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding shares
purchased on the October 31, 1996 purchase dates under the Purchase Plan by each
of the Named Executive Officers, all current executive officers as a group and
all other employees as a group:

(1) Market value of the shares on the date of purchase ($9.00 per share). The
purchase price paid by each participant in the Purchase Plan was 15% below
the market value.

Participation in the Purchase Plan is voluntary and is dependent upon each
eligible employee's election to participate and his or her determination as to
the level of payroll deductions. Accordingly, future purchases under the
Purchase Plan are not determinable.

SUMMARY OF THE PURCHASE PLAN

The purpose of the Purchase Plan is to provide employees (including
officers) of the Company and subsidiaries designated by the Board (each a
"Designated Subsidiary") with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the
Company through payroll deductions and to assist the Company in attracting,
retaining and motivating valued employees.

Administration. The Purchase Plan is administered by the Board of Directors
of the Company or a committee appointed by the Board (the "Administrator"). All
questions of interpretation or application of the Purchase Plan are determined
by the Board of Directors or its appointed committee, and its decisions are
final, conclusive and binding upon all participants.

Eligibility. Each employee (including officers) of the Company (or a
Designated Subsidiary), except for employees who are scheduled to work less than
20 hours per week or less than five months per calendar year, is eligible to
participate in an offering under the Purchase Plan, subject to certain
limitations imposed by Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and subject to limitations on stock ownership as set forth
in the Purchase Plan. Eligible employees become participants in the Purchase
Plan by filing with the payroll office of the Company an enrollment form
authorizing payroll deductions prior to the applicable offering date, unless a
later time for filing the enrollment form has been set by the Board. As of
November 1, 1996 (the commencement date for the purchase period November 1, 1996
through April 30, 1997), there were approximately 174 employees eligible to
participate in the Purchase Plan, of whom approximately 129 were participating
in the plan.

Participation in an Offering. Each offering of Common Stock under the
Purchase Plan ("Offering") extends for a period of two years ("Enrollment
Period") and consists of four six-month purchase periods ("Purchase Periods")
within each such Enrollment Period, unless the participant withdraws or
terminates employment earlier. The Administrator may establish shorter
Enrollment Periods and may change the length of Purchase Periods without
stockholder approval. To participate in the Purchase Plan, each eligible
employee must authorize payroll deductions pursuant to the Purchase Plan. Such
payroll deductions must be at least 1%, and may not exceed 15% of a
participant's base straight time gross earnings and commissions, exclusive of
payments for overtime, shift premium, incentive compensation, incentive
payments, bonuses and other compensation. Once an employee becomes a participant
in the Purchase Plan, the employee will automatically participate in each
successive Enrollment Period until such time as the employee withdraws from the
Purchase Plan or the employee's employment terminates. Eligible employees may
participate in only one Offering at a time.

Grant of Option. At the beginning of each Enrollment Period, each
participant is automatically granted an option to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The option expires at the end of the Enrollment Period
or upon termination of employment, whichever is earlier, but is exercised at the
end of each Purchase Period to the extent of the payroll deductions accumulated
during such Purchase Period.

Purchase Price. Shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Purchase
Plan at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock on (i) the first day of the Enrollment Period or (ii) the last day
of the six-month Purchase Period. The Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
any relevant date will be equal to the closing price per share (or closing bid
if no sales were reported) as quoted on any established stock exchange or market
system (including the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market), as
reported by the Wall Street Journal, or, if the stock is not so traded on such
exchange or market system, then the Fair Market Value shall be the mean between
the bid and asked prices for Common Stock on such date, as reported in The Wall
Street Journal.

Shares Purchased. The number of shares of Common Stock a participant
purchases in each Purchase Period is determined by dividing the total amount of
payroll deductions withheld from the participant's compensation during that
Purchase Period by the purchase price determined as described above. Any payroll
deductions not applied to the purchase of shares will generally by applied to
the purchase of shares in subsequent Purchase Periods during the same Offering.
In addition to the limitation on the maximum payroll deduction, the option
granted to the participant may not give a participant the right to purchase
shares under

8
11

the Purchase Plan at a rate per calendar year in excess of $25,000 (based on the
market price on the first day of the Enrollment Period).

Termination of Employment. Termination of a participant's employment for
any reason, including retirement or death, or the failure of the participant to
remain in the continuous scheduled employ of the Company or a Designated
Subsidiary for at least 20 hours per week (or five months per year) during the
applicable Enrollment Period, cancels his or her option and participation in the
Purchase Plan immediately. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the
participant's account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of death,
to the person or persons entitled thereto as provided in the Purchase Plan.

Withdrawal. A participant may withdraw from an Offering at any time without
affecting his or her eligibility to participate in future Enrollment Periods.
However, once a participant withdraws from a particular Offering, that
participant may not participate again in the same Offering.

Capital Changes. In the event any change is made in the Company's
capitalization during an Offering period, such as a stock split or stock
dividend, which results in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding without receipt of consideration by the Company,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the purchase price and in the number of
shares subject to options under the Purchase Plan.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board of Directors may at any
time and for any reason terminate or amend the Purchase Plan. Termination of the
Purchase Plan shall not affect options previously granted, except in the case of
an acquisition of the Company.

UNITED STATES TAX INFORMATION

The Purchase Plan, and the right of participants to make purchases
thereunder, are intended to qualify under the provisions of Section 423 of the
Code. Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until
the shares purchased under the Purchase Plan are sold or otherwise disposed of.
Upon sale or other disposition of the shares, the participant will generally be
subject to tax, and the amount of the tax will depend upon the holding period.
If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of more than two years from the
first day of the Enrollment Period and one year from the date the shares are
purchased, the participant will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser
of (a) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such
sale or disposition over the purchase price, or (b) an amount equal to 15% of
the fair market value of the shares as of the first day of the Enrollment
Period. Any additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If the
shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of these holdings
periods, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as
the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are
purchased over the purchase price. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or
disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on
the holding period. The Company is not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed
as ordinary income or capital gain to a participant except to the extent of
ordinary income recognized by participants upon a sale or disposition of shares
prior to the expiration of the holding period(s) described above.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF THE EFFECT OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME
TAXATION UPON THE PARTICIPANT AND THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE
PLAN DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE, AND REFERENCE SHOULD BE MADE TO THE
APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE CODE. IN ADDITION, THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS
THE PROVISIONS OF THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN
COUNTRY IN WHICH THE PARTICIPANT MAY RESIDE.

REQUIRED VOTE

The approval of the amendment to the Purchase Plan requires the affirmative
vote of a majority of the votes cast on this subject matter at the annual
meeting. An abstention is not an affirmative vote and, therefore, will have the
same effect as a vote against the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL
OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE PURCHASE PLAN.

OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to stock
options granted to each of the Named Officers during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, also shown below is the potential realizable value over the term of
the option (the period from the grant date to the expiration date) based on
assumed rates of stock appreciation of 5% and 10%, compounded annually. These
amounts are based on certain assumed rates of appreciation and do not represent
the Company's estimate of future stock price. Actual gains, if any, on stock
option exercises will be dependent on the future performance of the Common
Stock.

value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

(5) The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option
at its time of grant (ten years). It is calculated assuming that the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant appreciates
at the indicated annual rate compounded annually for the entire term of the
option and that the option is exercised and sold on the last day of its term
for the appreciated stock price.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

The Company has an employment agreement with Jim McCord, its Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement provides that Mr. McCord
shall devote his full business efforts and time to the Company and shall not
actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity
without the prior approval of the Board of Directors. In exchange, Mr. McCord is
entitled to receive a base salary (initially $170,000 per year) and is eligible
to receive cash and option bonuses based on achievement of certain milestones
and performance. The agreement further provides that if Mr. McCord's employment
is terminated for any or no reason, he will be entitled to receive severance pay
at a rate of fifty percent of his then base salary rate for a period of two
years, although such payments immediately cease in the event Mr. McCord engages
in any activity that involves the development or sale of automated transaction
processing systems for health care providers and associated systems integration
activities. The agreement does not provide for any specified term of employment.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

In January 1997, the Company loaned $60,000 to Louis Delzompo, Vice
President of Development. The loan bears interest at prime plus two percent.
Subject to Mr. Delzompo's continued employment with the Company, 1/3 of the
principal and all then accrued interest shall be forgiven on January 14 of each
subsequent year. If Mr. Delzompo voluntarily terminates his employment with the
Company, or if the Company terminates Mr. Delzompo's employment for any reason

interest shall immediately become due and payable. As of March 31, 1997, the

(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 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,

employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its subsidiaries accrues 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

16

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 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 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 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

17
20

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; 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 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 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 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 14 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.

(c) 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. 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 600,000 shares, subject to
adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section
18 hereof. 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.

(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.

18
21

13. ADMINISTRATION.

(a) Administrative Body. 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.

(b) Rule 16b-3 Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection
(a) of this Section 13, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any
successor provision ("Rule 16b-3") provides specific requirements for the
administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall be administered only by
such a body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3. Unless permitted by Rule 16b-3, no discretion
concerning decisions regarding the Plan shall be afforded to any committee or
person that is not "disinterested" as that term is used in Rule 16b-3.

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.

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 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.

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 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,

19
22

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 shall 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, 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 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.

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 Rule 16b-3 or under 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.

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

20
23

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 Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, 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.

Plan.

of % of my Compensation on each payday from 1 to 15% during the 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 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

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 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.

Plan. The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent upon my
eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
