                        1994 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
                         (AS AMENDED ON JANUARY 20, 1997)

        1. Purpose. The McAfee Associates, Inc. 1994 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "PLAN") is established, effective August 1, 1994, to provide eligible
employees of McAfee Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and any successor
corporation thereto (collectively, "MCAFEE ASSOCIATES"), and any current or
future parent corporation or subsidiary corporations of McAfee Associates which
the Board of Directors of McAfee Associates (the "BOARD") determines should be
included in the Plan (collectively referred to as the "COMPANY"), with an
opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company by the purchase of
common stock of McAfee Associates. McAfee Associates and any parent or
subsidiary corporation designated by the Board as a corporation included in the
Plan shall be individually referred to as a "PARTICIPATING COMPANY." The Board
shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine from time to time what
parent corporations and/or subsidiary corporations shall be Participating
Companies. For purposes of the Plan, a parent corporation and a subsidiary
corporation shall be as defined in sections 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE").

        The Company intends that the Plan shall qualify as an "employee stock
purchase plan" under section 423 of the Code (including any amendments or
replacements of such section), and the Plan shall be so construed. Any term not
expressly defined in the Plan but defined for purposes of section 423 of the
Code shall have the same definition herein.

        An employee participating in the Plan (a "PARTICIPANT") may withdraw
such Participant's accumulated payroll deductions (if any) and terminate
participation in the Plan or any Offering (as defined below) therein at any time
during a Purchase Period (as defined below). Accordingly, each Participant is,
in effect, granted an option pursuant to the Plan (a "PURCHASE RIGHT") which may
or may not be exercised at the end of a Purchase Period.

        2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board and/or by
a duly appointed committee of the Board having such powers as shall be specified
by the Board. Any subsequent references to the Board shall also mean the
committee if a committee has been appointed. All questions of interpretation of
the Plan or of any Purchase Right shall be determined by the Board and shall be
final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan and/or any
Purchase Right. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine
all of the relevant terms and conditions of Purchase Rights granted pursuant to
the Plan; provided, however, that all Participants granted Purchase Rights
pursuant to the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges within the
meaning of section 423(b)(5) of the Code. All expenses incurred in connection
with the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

        3. Share Reserve. The maximum number of shares which may be issued under
the Plan shall be one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) shares of McAfee
Associates' authorized but unissued common stock (the "Shares"). In the event
that any Purchase Right for any reason expires or is

<PAGE>   2

canceled or terminated, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such
Purchase Right may again be subjected to a Purchase Right.

        4. Eligibility. Any employee of a Participating Company is eligible to
participate in the Plan except the following:

               (a) employees who are customarily employed by the Company for
twenty (20) hours or less per week;

               (b) employees who have not completed thirty (30) days of
continuous employment with the Company as of the commencement of an Offering
Period;

               (c) employees who own or hold options to purchase or who, as a
result of participation in the Plan, would own or hold options to purchase,
stock of the Company possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company within the meaning
of section 423(b)(3) of the Code.

        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any individual
performing services for a Participating Company solely through a leasing agency
or employment agency shall not be deemed an "EMPLOYEE" of such Participating
Company.

        5.     Offering Dates.

               (a) Offering Periods. Except as otherwise set forth below, the
Plan shall be implemented by offerings (individually, an "OFFERING") of
approximately twelve (12) months duration (an "OFFERING PERIOD"). The first
Offering shall commence on August 1, 1994 and end on July 31, 1995 (the "INITIAL
OFFERING PERIOD"). Subsequent Offerings shall commence on February 1 and August
1 of each year and end on the first January 31 and July 31, respectively,
occurring thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may establish a
different term for one or more Offerings and/or different commencing and/or
ending dates for such Offerings. An employee who becomes eligible to participate
in the Plan after an Offering Period has commenced shall not be eligible to
participate in such Offering but may participate in any subsequent Offering
provided such employee is still eligible to participate in the Plan as of the
commencement of any such subsequent Offering. Eligible employees may not
participate in more than one Offering at a time. The first day of an Offering
Period shall be the "OFFERING DATE" for such Offering Period. In the event the
first and/or last day of an Offering Period is not a business day, McAfee
Associates shall specify the business day that will be deemed the first or last
day, as the case may be, of the Offering Period.

               (b) Purchase Periods. Each Offering Period shall consist of two
(2) consecutive purchase periods of approximately six (6) months duration
(individually, a "PURCHASE PERIOD"). The last day of each Purchase Period shall
be the "Purchase Date" for such Purchase Period. A Purchase Period commencing on
February 1 shall end on the next July 31. A Purchase Period commencing on August
1 shall end on the next January 31. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may
establish a different term for one or more Purchase Periods and/or different
commencing dates and/or Purchase


                                       -2-

<PAGE>   3

Dates for such Purchase Periods. In the event the first and/or last day of a
Purchase Period is not a business day, McAfee Associates shall specify the
business day that will be deemed the first or last day, as the case may be, of
the Purchase Period.

               (c) Governmental Approval, Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Purchase Right granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to (i) obtaining an necessary governmental
approvals and/or qualifications of the sale and/or issuance of the Purchase
Rights and/or the Shares, and (ii) obtaining shareholder approval of the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholder approval shall not be necessary in
order to grant any Purchase Right granted in the Plan's Initial Offering Period;
provided, however, that the exercise of any such Purchase Right shall be subject
to obtaining shareholder approval of the Plan.

        6.     Participation in the Plan.

               (a) Initial Participation. An eligible employee shall become a
Participant on the first Offering Date after satisfying the eligibility
requirements and delivering to the Company's payroll office not later than the
close of business for such payroll office on the last business day before such
Offering Date (the "SUBSCRIPTION DATE") a subscription agreement indicating the
employee's election to participate in the Plan and authorizing payroll
deductions. An eligible employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement
to the Company's payroll office on or before the Subscription Date shall not
participate in the Plan for that Offering Period or for any subsequent Offering
Period unless such employee subsequently enrolls in the Plan by filing a
subscription agreement with the Company by the Subscription Date for such
subsequent Offering Period. McAfee Associates may, from time to time, change the
Subscription Date as deemed advisable by McAfee Associates in its sole
discretion for proper administration of the Plan.

               (b) Continued Participation. A Participant shall automatically
participate in the Offering Period commencing immediately after the final
Purchase Date of each Offering Period in which the Participant participates
until such time as such Participant (i) ceases to be eligible as provided in
paragraph 4, (ii) withdraws from the Plan pursuant to paragraph 11(b) or (iii)
terminates employment as provided in paragraph 12. If a Participant is
automatically withdrawn from an Offering at the end of a Purchase Period of such
Offering pursuant to paragraph 11(d), then the Participant shall automatically
participate in the Offering Period commencing on the next business day. If a
Participant automatically may participate in a subsequent Offering Period
pursuant to this paragraph 6(b), then the Participant is not required to file
any additional subscription agreement for such subsequent Offering Period in
order to continue participation in the Plan. However, a Participant may file a
subscription agreement with respect to a subsequent Offering Period if the
Participant desires to change any of the Participant's elections contained in
the Participant's then effective subscription agreement.

        7. Right to Purchase Shares. Except as set forth below, during an
Offering Period each Participant in such Offering Period shall have a Purchase
Right consisting of the right to purchase that number of whole Shares arrived at
by dividing Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) by the fair market value of a
share of the common stock of McAfee Associates on the Offering Date of such



                                       -3-

<PAGE>   4

Offering Period; provided, however, that such number shall not exceed five
thousand (5,000) Shares. The fair market value of such share shall be determined
in accordance with paragraph 8 below. Shares may only be purchased through a
Participant's payroll withholding pursuant to paragraph 9 below.

        8. Purchase Price. The purchase price at which Shares may be acquired in
a given Purchase Period pursuant to the exercise of all or any portion of a
Purchase Right granted under the Plan (the "Offering Exercise Price") shall be
set by the Board; provided, however, that the Offering Exercise Price shall not
be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of (a) the fair market
value of the Shares on the Offering Date of the Offering Period of which the
Purchase Period is a part, or (b) the fair market value of the Shares on the
Purchase Date for such Purchase Period. Unless otherwise provided by the Board
prior to the commencement of an Offering Period, the Offering Exercise Price for
each Purchase Period in that Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%)
of the lesser of (a) the fair market value of the Shares on the Offering Date of
such Offering Period or (b) the fair market value of the Shares on the given
Purchase Date. The fair market value per share of the common stock of McAfee
Associates on any relevant date shall be the closing price (or the mean of the
closing bid and asked prices if such stock is so quoted instead) of the common
stock of McAfee Associates quoted on the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") System or as reported on such other
national or regional securities exchange or market system constituting the
primary market for such stock, or as determined by the Board ff such stock is
not so reported. If the relevant date does not fall on a day on which the common
stock of McAfee Associates is quoted on NASDAQ or such other national or
regional securities exchange or market system, the date on which the fair market
value per share of such stock shall be established shall be the last day on
which the common stock of McAfee Associates was so quoted prior to such relevant
date.

        9. Payment of Purchase Price. Shares which are acquired pursuant to the
exercise of all or any portion of a Purchase Right may be paid for only by means
of payroll deductions from the Participant's Compensation accumulated during the
Offering Period. For purposes of the Plan, a Participan's "COMPENSATION" with
respect to an Offering shall include all amounts paid in cash and includable as
"wages" subject to tax under section 3101(a) of the Code without applying the
dollar limitation of section 3121(a) of the Code. Accordingly, Compensation
shall include, without limitation, salaries, commissions, bonuses, overtime, and
salary deferrals under section 401(k) of the Code. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Compensation shall not include reimbursements of expenses,
allowances, or any amount deemed received without the actual transfer of cash or
any amounts directly or indirectly paid pursuant to the Plan or any other stock
purchase or stock option plan. Except as set forth below, the amount of
Compensation to be withheld from a Participant's Compensation during each pay
period shall be determined by the Participant's subscription agreement.

               (a) Election to Decrease or Stop Withholding. During an Offering
Period, a Participant may elect to decrease the amount withheld or stop
withholding from his or her Compensation by filing an amended subscription
agreement with the Company on or before the "CHANGE NOTICE DATE." The "CHANGE
NOTICE DATE" shall initially be the seventh (7th) day prior to the end of the
first pay period for which such election is to be effective; however, the
Company may



                                       -4-

<PAGE>   5

change such Change Notice Date from time to time. A Participant may not elect to
increase the amount withheld from the Participant's Compensation during an
Offering Period.

               (b) Limitations on Payroll Withholding. The amount of payroll
withholding with respect to the Plan for any Participant during any pay period
shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Participant's Compensation for
such pay period. Amounts shall be withheld in whole percentages only.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may change the limits on payroll
withholding effective as of a future Offering Date, as determined by the Board.
Amounts withheld shall be reduced by any amounts contributed by the Participant
and applied to the purchase of Company stock pursuant to any other employee
stock purchase plan qualifying under section 423 of the Code.

               (c) Payroll Withholding. Payroll deductions shall commence on the
first payday following the Offering Date and shall continue to the end of the
Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in the Plan.

               (d) Participant Accounts. Individual accounts shall be maintained
for each Participant. All payroll deductions from a Participant's Compensation
shall be credited to such account and shall be deposited with the general funds
of the Company. AR payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be
used by the Company for any corporate purpose.

               (e) No Interest Paid. Interest shall not be paid on sums withheld
from a Participant's Compensation.

               (f) Exercise of Purchase Right. On each Purchase Date of an
Offering Period, each Participant who has not withdrawn from the Offering or
whose participation in the Offering has not terminated on or before such
Purchase Date shall automatically acquire pursuant to the exercise of the
Participant's Purchase Right the number of whole Shares arrived at by dividing
the total amount of the Participant's accumulated payroll deductions for the
Purchase Period by the Offering Exercise Price; provided, however, in no event
shall the number of Shares purchased by the Participant exceed the number of
Shares subject to the Participant's Purchase Right. No Shares shall be purchased
on a Purchase Date on behalf of a Participant whose participation in the
Offering or the Plan has terminated on or before such Purchase Date.

               (g) Return of Cash Balance. Any cash balance remaining in the
Participant's account shall be refunded to the Participant as soon as
practicable after the Purchase Date. In the event the cash to be returned to a
Participant pursuant to the preceding sentence is an amount less than the amount
necessary to purchase a whole Share, the Company may establish procedures
whereby such cash is maintained in the Participant's account and applied toward
the purchase of Shares in the subsequent Purchase Period or Offering Period.

               (h) Tax Withholding. At the time the Purchase Right is exercised,
in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Shares are disposed of,
the Participant shall make adequate provision for the foreign, federal and state
tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise upon exercise of
the Purchase Right and/or upon disposition of Shares, respectively. The



                                       -5-

<PAGE>   6

Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant's
Compensation the amount necessary to meet such withholding obligations.

               (i) Company Established Procedures. The Company may, from time to
time, establish or change (i) a minimum required withholding amount for
participation in an Offering, (ii) limitations on the frequency and/or number of
changes in the amount withheld during an Offering, (iii) an exchange ratio
applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, (iv)
payroll withholding in excess of or less than the amount designated by a
Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's
processing of subscription agreements, (v) the date(s) and manner by which the
fair market value of the Shares is determined for purposes of administration of
the Plan and/or (vi) such other limitations or procedures as deemed advisable by
the Company in the Company's sole discretion which are consistent with the Plan
and in accordance with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

               (j) Expiration of Purchase Right. Any portion of a Participant's
Purchase Right remaining unexercised after the end of the Offering Period to
which such Purchase Right relates shall expire immediately upon the end of such
Offering Period.

        10.    Limitations on Purchase of Shares, Rights as a Stockholder.

               (a) Fair Market Value Limitation. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, no Participant shall be entitled to purchase Shares under
the Plan (or any other employee stock purchase plan which is intended to meet
the requirements of section 423 of the Code sponsored by McAfee Associates or a
parent or subsidiary corporation of McAfee Associates) at a rate which exceeds
$25,000 in fair market value, which fair market value is determined for Shares
purchased during a given Offering Period as of the Offering Date for such
Offering Period (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code), for each
calendar year in which the Participant participates in the Plan (or any other
employee stock purchase plan described in this sentence).

               (b) Pro Rata Allocation. In the event the number of Shares which
might be purchased by all Participants in the Plan exceeds the number of Shares
available in the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the
remaining Shares in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as the
Company shall determine to be equitable.

               (c) Rights as a Shareholder and Employee. A Participant shall
have no rights as a shareholder by virtue of the Participant's participation in
the Plan until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate(s) for the Shares
being purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Participant's Purchase Right. No
adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or distributions or other rights for
which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate(s) are issued.
Nothing herein shall confer upon a Participant any right to continue in the
employ of the Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Company to
terminate the Participant's employment at any time.



                                       -6-

        11.    Withdrawal.

               (a) Withdrawal From an Offering. A Participant may withdraw from
an Offering by signing and delivering to the Company's payroll office a written
notice of withdrawal on a form provided by the Company for such purpose. Such
withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an Offering Period;
provided, however, ff a Participant withdraws after the Purchase Date for a
Purchase Period of an Offering, the withdrawal shall not affect Shares acquired
by the Participant in such Purchase Period. Unless otherwise indicated,
withdrawal from an Offering shall not result in a withdrawal from the Plan or
any succeeding Offering therein. A Participant is prohibited from again
participating in an Offering at any time upon withdrawal from such Offering. The
Company may impose, from time to time, a requirement that the notice of
withdrawal be on file with the Company's payroll office for a reasonable period
prior to the effectiveness of the Participant's withdrawal from an Offering.

               (b) Withdrawal from the Plan. A Participant may withdraw from the
Plan by signing and delivering to the Company's payroll office a written notice
of withdrawal on a form provided by the Company for such purpose. Withdrawals
made after a Purchase Date for a Purchase Period shall not affect Shares
acquired by the Participant on such Purchase Date. In the event a Participant
voluntarily elects to withdraw from the Plan, the Participant may not resume
participation in the Plan during the same Offering Period, but may participate
in any subsequent Offering under the Plan by again satisfying the requirements
of paragraphs 4 and 6(a) above. The Company may impose, from time to time, a
requirement that the notice of withdrawal be on file with the Company's payroll
office for a reasonable period prior to the effectiveness of the Participant's
withdrawal from the Plan.

               (c) Return of Payroll Deductions. Upon withdrawal from an
Offering or the Plan pursuant to paragraphs 11(a) or 11(b), respectively, the
withdrawn Participant's accumulated payroll deductions which have not been
applied toward the purchase of Shares shall be returned as soon as practicable
after the withdrawal, without the payment of any interest, to the Participant,
and the Participant's interest in the Offering and/or the Plan, as applicable,
shall terminate. Such accumulated payroll deductions may not be applied to any
other Offering under the Plan.

               (d) Automatic Withdrawal From an Offering. If the fair market
value of the Shares on a Purchase Date of an Offering (other than the last such
Purchase Date) is less than the fair market value of the Shares on the Offering
Date for such Offering, then every Participant shall automatically (i) be
withdrawn from such Offering at the close of such Purchase Date and after the
acquisition of Shares for such Purchase Period and (ii) be enrolled in the
Offering commencing on the first business day subsequent to such Purchase
Period. A Participant may elect not to be automatically withdrawn from an
Offering Period pursuant to this paragraph 11(d) by delivering to the Company
not later than the close of business on the last day before the Purchase Date a
written notice indicating such election.

               (e) Limitation Following Cessation of Participation by Certain
Employees. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, an employee
shall be prohibited from again



                                       -7-

<PAGE>   8



participating in the Plan for at least six months after the date on which such
employee is deemed to "cease participation" in the Plan (as defined below) if
such employee is:

                      (1) an officer or director of the Company subject to
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE
ACT"); and

                      (2) deemed to have "CEASED PARTICIPATION" in the Plan
within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended
from time to time or any successor rule or regulation ("RULE 16B-3") as a
consequence of such employee's election to (i) withdraw from an Offering
pursuant to paragraph 11(a) above, (ii) withdraw from the Plan pursuant to
paragraph 11(b) above, or (iii) stop or decrease to a nominal level the amount
withheld from such employee's Compensation pursuant to paragraph 9(a) above.

               (f) Waiver of Withdrawal Right. The Company may, from time to
time, establish a procedure pursuant to which a Participant may elect (an
"IRREVOCABLE ELECTION"), at least six (6) months prior to a Purchase Date, to
have all payroll deductions accumulated in such Participant's Plan account as of
such Purchase Date applied to purchase shares under the Plan, and (1) to waive
such Participant's right to withdraw from the Offering or the Plan and (2) to
waive such Participant's right to increase, decrease, or cease payroll
deductions under the Plan from such Participant's Compensation during the
Offering Period ending on such Purchase Date. An Irrevocable Election shall be
made in writing on a form provided by the Company for such purpose and must be
delivered to the Company not later than the close of business on the day
preceding the date which is six (6) months before the Purchase Date for which
such election is to be first effective.

        12. Termination of Employment. Termination of a Participant's employment
with the Company for any reason, including retirement, disability or death or
the failure of a Participant to remain an employee eligible to participate in
the Plan, shall terminate the Participant's participation in the Plan
immediately. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the Participant's
account since the last Purchase Date shall, as soon as practicable, be returned
to the Participant or, in-the case of the Participant's death, to the
Participant's legal representative, and all of the Participant's rights under
the Plan shall terminate. Interest shall not be paid on sums returned to a
Participant pursuant to this paragraph 13. A Participant whose participation has
been so terminated may again become eligible to participate in the Plan by again
satisfying the requirements of paragraphs 4 and 6(a) above.

        13. Transfer of Control. A "TRANSFER OF CONTROL" shall be deemed to have
occurred in the event any of the following occurs with respect to the McAfee
Associates:

               (a) the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the shareholders
of McAfee Associates of all or substantially all of the stock of McAfee
Associates where the shareholders of McAfee Associates before such sale or
exchange do not retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the
beneficial interest in the voting stock of McAfee Associates after such sale or
exchange;



                                       -8-

<PAGE>   9

               (b) a merger or consolidation where the shareholders of McAfee
Associates before such merger or consolidation do not retain, directly or
indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock
of McAfee Associates after such merger;

               (c) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all
of McAfee Associates' assets (other than a sale, exchange, or transfer to one
(1) or more subsidiary corporations (as defined in paragraph 1 above) of McAfee
Associates); or

               (d) a liquidation or dissolution of McAfee Associates.

        In the event of a Transfer of Control, the Board, in its sole
discretion, may arrange with the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be (the "Acquiring Corporation"), for the Acquiring
Corporation to assume the Company's rights and obligations under the Plan. All
Purchase Rights shall terminate effective as of the date of the Transfer of
Control to the extent that the Purchase Right is neither exercised as of the
date of the Transfer of Control nor assumed by the Acquiring Corporation.

        14. Capital Changes. In the event of changes in the common stock of the
Company due to a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or like change in the Company's
capitalization, or in the event of any merger (including a merger effected for
the purpose of changing McAfee Associates' domicile), sale of assets or other
reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Company in the
securities subject to purchase under a Purchase Right the Plan's share reserve,
the number of shares subject to a Purchase Right, and in the purchase price per
share.

        15. Non-Transferable. A Purchase Right may not be transferred in any
manner otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall
be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.
The Company, in its absolute discretion, may impose such restrictions on the
transferability of the Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Purchase Right
as it deems appropriate and any such restriction shall be set forth in the
respective subscription agreement and may be referred to on the certificates
evidencing such Shares.

        16. Reports. Each Participant who exercised all or part of his or her
Purchase Right for a Purchase Period shall receive, as soon as practicable after
the Purchase Date of such Purchase Period, a report of such Participant's
account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of
Shares purchased, the fair market value of such Shares, the date of purchase and
the remaining cash balance to be refunded or retained in the Participant's
account pursuant to paragraph 9(g) above, if any. Each Participant shall be
provided information concerning the Company equivalent to that information
generally made available to the Company's common stockholders. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, at any such time as securities offered or sold pursuant
to the Plan are required to be qualified pursuant to the California Corporations
Code, copies of the Company's balance sheet and income statement for the just
completed fiscal year shall be made available annually to the Participants.



                                       -9-

<PAGE>   10

        17. Plan Term. This Plan shall continue until terminated by the Board or
until all of the Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan have been issued or
until ten (10) years from the date the Plan is adopted, whichever shall first
occur.

        18. Restriction on Issuance of Shares. The issuance of shares under the
Plan shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of foreign,
federal or state law with respect to such securities. A Purchase Right may not
be exercised if the issuance of shares upon such exercise would constitute a
violation of any applicable foreign, federal or state securities laws or other
law or regulations. In addition, no Purchase Right may be exercised unless (i) a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall at
the time of exercise of the Purchase Right be in effect with respect to the
shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Right, or (ii) in the opinion of
legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase
Right may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of said Act. As a condition to the exercise of a
Purchase Right, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with
