          Right Period; or

               (ii) Eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a
          share of Common Stock on the last day of that Purchase Right Period.

          (a) A Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time prior to the
     last day of the Purchase Right Period by submitting written notice to the
     Company.  The Participant's Purchase Right shall terminate upon his or her
     withdrawal from the Plan.

          (b) A Purchase Right shall terminate automatically if the Participant
     holding the Purchase Right:

               (i) Ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason for more
          than ninety (90) days; or

               (ii) Is on a leave of absence in excess of ninety (90) days,
          unless the Participant's rights to reemployment are guaranteed by
          statute or contract.

          (c) Upon the termination of a Purchase Right, all amounts held in the
     Participant's Account shall be refunded to the Participant no later than
     ninety (90) days after the date of termination.

          (d) Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 4.1, in the
     event that a Participant ceases making contributions during a Purchase
     Right Period, the Participant may elect to leave his or her prior
     contributions in the Plan to be used to purchase Common Stock at the end of
     the Purchase Right Period. However, in no event can a Participant:

<PAGE>
 
               (i) Reduce (but not eliminate) his or her contributions during a
          Purchase Right Period; or

               (ii) Suspend his or her contributions and recommence making them
          in the same Purchase Right Period, unless due to a leave of absence.

     4.2  Exercise of Purchase Rights.
          ---------------------------

          (a) Unless previously terminated, Purchase Rights will be exercised
     automatically on the last day of the Purchase Right Period.

          (b) Except as provided in Section 3.2(b) above, payment for shares to
     be purchased at the termination of the Purchase Right Period may only be
     made from funds:

               (i) Deposited at the beginning of a Purchase Right Period; and/or

               (ii) Accumulated through payroll deductions made during the
          Purchase Right Period.

          (c) If the amount in the Participant's Account at the end of the
     Purchase Right Period is insufficient to purchase all the shares covered by
     the Purchase Right granted to the Participant, those funds will be used to
     purchase as many whole shares as possible.

          (d) If the balance of the Participant's Account on the date of
     purchase exceeds the purchase price of the whole number of shares to be
     acquired, the surplus shall be applied to the next Purchase Right Period,
     unless the Participant elects to receive a refund in accordance with rules
     and procedures prescribed by the Committee.

          (e) The Company, at its option may either (i) issue stock certificates
     to each individual purchaser for the whole number of shares of Common Stock
     or (ii) issue one or more global stock certificates for the aggregate
     number of shares of Common Stock, and maintain records of the amount of
     Common Stock owned by each individual purchaser, as soon as practicable
     following the date of the exercise of the Purchase Right.

     4.3  Termination Event.
          -----------------
     The following provisions of this Section 4.3 shall apply, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary.

          (a) A "Termination Event" shall be deemed to occur as a result of (i)
     a transaction in which the Company will cease to be an independent
     publicly-owned corporation or (i) a sale or other disposition of all or
     substantially all the assets of the Company.

          (b) All Purchase Rights shall be automatically exercised immediately
     preceding the Termination Event.  In such an event, the Fair Market Value
     of the 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
     Common Stock on that date for purposes of Section 3.4(a)(ii) above shall be
     deemed to be the consideration paid for the Common Stock in the
     transaction.

     4.4  Non-Transferability of Purchase Rights.
          --------------------------------------

          A Purchase Right may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by a

Participant.

     unissued or may have been reacquired by the Company in the open market (or
     otherwise).


     5.2  Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization.
          -----------------------------------------

          A proportionate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the
number, price, and kind of shares subject to outstanding Purchase Rights if the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased, or exchanged for
different securities, through reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, or other similar transaction (not constituting a Termination
Event under Section 4.3 above).

     6.2  Indemnification.
          ---------------

          (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall
     indemnify each member of the Committee and every other member of the Board,

     satisfaction of a judgment) reasonably incurred by the individual in
     connection with any claims against the individual by reason of the
     performance of the individual's duties under the Plan.  This indemnity

          in the performance of those duties; or

          against any such claim.

          (b) Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall have the right to
     select counsel and to control the prosecution or defense of the suit.
     Furthermore, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any individual
     for any amount incurred through any settlement or compromise of any action
     unless the Company consents in writing to the settlement or compromise.
