<PAGE>

               (ii) Executive shall receive the benefits, if any, under the

     6.   Retirement Benefits.
          -------------------

          (a) In order to be eligible for the "Retirement Benefits" described in
Section 6(b) below, the Executive must meet both of the following criteria:

               (i) At the time of Executive's voluntary termination of
employment with the Company (other than in circumstances in which such
termination constitutes a Termination of Employment), the Executive has (1)
achieved the age of 50 and served the Company for at least 15 years; or (2)
achieved the age of 55 and served the Company for at least 10 years; and

               (ii) At any time during which the Executive is receiving
Retirement Benefits, the Executive shall not (1) be employed or on contract full
                                         ---
time by a third party or (2) engage in Competition. If the Executive engages in
either (1) or (2), then all Retirement Benefits shall terminate immediately.

          (b) If both conditions in Sections 6(a)(i) and 6(a)(ii) above are
satisfied, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following "Retirement
Benefits:"

               (i) The ability to exercise any and all options granted after the
Effective Date of this Agreement (and any options granted prior to the Effective
Date of this Agreement only to the extent that such extension of exercisability
would not require the Company to incur a compensation expense for financial
statement purposes) to the extent such options are vested as of the date of
termination of employment for the earlier of: (i) the term of the option or (ii)
                                  -------
five years; and

               (ii) The Company shall pay the Executive's medical and dental
premiums until the Executive achieves the age of 65 and additionally, if the
Executive's medical and dental coverage on the date of termination included the
Executive's dependents, the premiums of such dependents until the Executive
achieves the age of 65, as follows:

                    (A) COBRA Continuation Coverage. Upon the termination of
Executive's active employment with the Company, Executive shall be entitled to
elect continued medical and dental insurance coverage in accordance with the
applicable provisions of COBRA and the Company shall pay such COBRA premiums.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event Executive becomes eligible to be covered
under another employer's group health plan (other than a plan which imposes a
preexisting condition exclusion unless the preexisting condition exclusion does
not apply) during the period provided for herein, the Company shall cease
payment of the COBRA premiums; and

                    (B) Coverage After COBRA & Prior to Medicare Eligibility. In
the event the Executive is not eligible for Medicare coverage at end of his

                                       6

<PAGE>

individual conversion policy through the insurer providing insurance coverage in
connection with the Company sponsored medical and dental plans available to
active employees (the "Conversion Policy"), and/or a supplemental individual
policy or an individual policy on the open market (the "Individual Policy") to
be effective upon the termination of his COBRA continuation coverage so that,
when the coverages for Executive provided by the Conversion Policy and/or the
Individual Policy are combined, such coverages provide substantially similar
medical and dental benefits in the aggregate as those provided under the medical
and dental plans sponsored by the Company at such time, or at any time after the
termination of Executive's employment, for active employees (the "Comparable
Coverage"). The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any Conversion
Policy premiums and/or Individual Policy premiums for the Comparable Coverage
which payment shall not exceed the cost of premiums for medical and dental
coverage for then active employees. Notwithstanding the above, in the event
Executive becomes eligible to be covered under another employer's group health
plan (other than a plan which imposes a preexisting condition exclusion unless
the preexisting condition exclusion does not apply) during the period provided
for herein, the Company shall cease payment of such premiums; and

                    (C) Coverage After COBRA & Upon Medicare Eligibility. In the
event the Executive is eligible for Medicare coverage at the end of his maximum
applicable COBRA coverage period, the Executive may identify and locate a
Medicare supplemental policy, which may include, to the extent permitted, the
medical and dental plans sponsored by the Company at such time for active
employees, that, when combined with the coverage provided by Medicare (both
Parts A and B), provides Comparable Coverage. The Executive shall be solely
responsible for the payment of any Medicare premiums and/or Medical supplemental
policy premiums for the Comparable Coverage.

                    (D) Taxes. The Executive shall be responsible for any taxes
that may be attributable to or result from the payments made by the Company in
accordance with this Section 6(b)(ii) or receipt of medical and dental benefits
attributable to or result from such payments.

     7.   Termination of Employment due to Death or Permanent Disability.
          --------------------------------------------------------------

          (a) In the event of (i) the Executive's death during his employment
with the Company and the Executive having satisfied the criteria provided at
Section 6(a)(i) as of or prior to the date of his death or (ii) the Executive's
death during the period while Executive was receiving Retirement Benefits as a
result of compliance with the criteria provided at Section 6(a)(i) and 6(a)(ii),
(1) the Executive's legal representative or any person empowered to act on his
behalf under his will or under the then applicable laws of descent and
distribution shall be entitled to the extension of the term of stock option
exercisability pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) and (2) the Executive's dependents,
to the extent applicable, shall be entitled to the medical and dental benefits
pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii)(A)-(D) for that period of time until the Executive
would have achieved the age of 65 if the Executive had lived.

employment with the Company and the Executive having satisfied the criteria
provided at

        ----------------

     9. Parachute Payment. In the event that any of the payments and benefits
        -----------------
provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive in
connection with the Change of Control (collectively, the "Payments") would
result in a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the amount of such
Payments shall be either: (i) the full amount of the Payments, or (ii) a reduced
amount which would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the
excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"),
whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal,
stated and local income tax and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the
Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefit. Unless the
Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required
under this Section 8 shall be made in writing by independent public accountants
appointed by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (the
"Accountants"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Executive and the Company for all purposes. The Company shall bear all costs the
Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with such determination, and the
Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and
documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a
determination under this Section 9.

     10. Exclusive Remedy. The payments and benefits provided for in Section 4
         ----------------
or Section 5 shall constitute the Executive's sole and exclusive remedy for any
alleged injury or other damages arising out of the cessation of the employment
relationship between the Executive and the Company. To the extent Executive is
entitled to severance or other benefits upon termination of employment under
this Agreement and any other agreement, the benefits payable under this
Agreement shall be reduced by the amounts paid to Executive under any other such
agreement.

     11. Proprietary and Confidential Information. The Executive agrees to
         ----------------------------------------
continue to abide by the terms and conditions of any Company's confidentiality
and/or proprietary rights agreement between the Executive and the Company.

         -----------
Agreement, the interpretation, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
the alleged breach thereof shall be submitted by the parties to binding
arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in San Jose, California or
elsewhere by mutual agreement. The selection of the arbitrator and the
arbitration procedure shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association. All costs and expenses of arbitration or
litigation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees and other
costs reasonably incurred by the Executive, shall be paid by the Company.
Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitration in any court having
jurisdiction.

     13. Interpretation. Executive and the Company agree that this Agreement
         --------------
shall be interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
California, without regard to such state's conflict of laws rules.

     14. Conflict in Benefits. This Agreement shall supersede all prior
         --------------------
arrangements, whether written or oral, and understandings regarding the subject
matter of this Agreement. To the extent Executive is entitled to severance or
other benefits upon termination of employment under this Agreement and any other
agreement, including any change in control agreement entered into by the Company
and the Executive, the benefits payable under this Agreement shall supersede and
replace any other such agreement. However, this Agreement is not intended to and
shall not affect, limit or terminate (i) any plans, programs, or arrangements of
the Company that are regularly made available to a significant number of
employees of the Company, (ii) the Company's stock option plans, (iii) any
agreement or arrangement with the Executive that has been reduced to writing and
which does not relate to the subject matter hereof, or (iv) any agreements or
arrangements hereafter entered into by the parties in writing, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein.

     15. Release of Claims. No severance benefits shall be paid to Executive
         -----------------
under this Agreement unless and until the Executive shall, in consideration of
the payment of such severance benefit, execute a release of claims in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
general release shall not be construed to waive any right to indemnification or
contribution otherwise available to Executive under law or rules of corporate
governance with respect to claims by third parties for actions or omissions in
Executive's role as an officer of the Company.

     16. Successors and Assigns.
         ----------------------

          (a) Successors of the Company. The Company will require any successor
              -------------------------
or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had
taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the
effectiveness of any such succession transaction shall be a breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate his or her employment
with the Company within three (3) months thereafter and to receive the benefits
provided under Section 4 of this Agreement in the event of Termination Upon
Change of Control. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company
as defined above and any successor or assign to its business and/or assets as
aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section
15 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this
Agreement by operation of law.

          (b) Heirs of Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
              ------------------
and be enforceable by the Executive's personal and legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees.
