                         INFONET SERVICES CORPORATION

                    SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

                                    ARTICLE

                            Purpose and Background
                            ----------------------

          1.1  Purpose.  The purpose of the Infonet Supplemental Executive
               -------
Retirement Plan (the "ISERP") is to provide pension benefits to designated
officers and designated key executives of the Employer in addition to pension
benefits that may be payable to them under the Infonet Pension Plan and any
other retirement plan or agreement under which benefits may be payable with
respect to such person.  In addition, the ISERP will also provide designated
officers and key executives of the Employer and their spouses and their
dependent children with certain post-employment health and medical insurance
coverage.

          1.2  Effective Date.  The ISERP was originally effective as of January
               --------------
1, 1993, and was subsequently amended and restated as of January 1, 1997, and
January 1, 1999.  This amendment and restatement of the ISERP is effective as of
October 1, 2000.

          1.3  Definitions.  The capitalized terms used herein shall have the
               -----------
meanings set forth in Article XII hereof, unless a different meaning is plainly
required by context.
                                  ARTICLE II

                         Eligibility and Participation
                         -----------------------------

          2.1  Commencement of Participation.  An Eligible Employee may become a
               -----------------------------
Participant in the ISERP on or after the later of the Effective Date and the
date he executes and returns to the President a Participation Form, provided
that at the time such person elects to participate in the ISERP, he is a
participant in the Infonet Pension Plan or, in the case of an
<PAGE>

employee of an Affiliate, such other pension or retirement plans as are
designated by the President in the Participation Form.

          2.2  Cessation of Participation.  Except as may otherwise be required
               --------------------------
pursuant to Article VIIA, a person shall cease to be a Participant in the ISERP
upon the completion of the distribution of the Participant's pension benefits
under the ISERP.  A Participant who ceases to be a participant in the Infonet
Pension Plan, or in the case of an employee of an Affiliate, such other pension
or retirement plans as are designated by the President in the Participation
Form, shall cease pension benefit accruals under the ISERP as of the last day of
the Plan Year in which the Participant ceases to participate in the Infonet
Pension Plan or such other plan or plans.

                                  ARTICLE III

                       Eligibility for Pension Benefits
                       --------------------------------

          A Participant shall become eligible to commence receiving pension
benefits under the ISERP (a) after the Participant's Separation from Service and
(b) after attaining the minimum Deemed Age and the specified sum of Deemed Age
plus Deemed Years of Service in the Participant's Participation Form.  However,
a Participant who has attained the minimum Deemed Age specified in the
Participant's Participation Form on or prior to July 1, 1998 may elect to have
his Lump Sum Value transferred to the IDIP in accordance with the election
provided in Section 5.4(b) hereof.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                               Pension Benefits
                               ---------------

     With the exception of a Participant who makes an election under Section 5.4
hereof while he is accruing pension benefits under the ISERP to have his Lump
Sum Value transferred to the IDIP and subsequently has such amount transferred,
each Participant, provided that such Participant is eligible to receive benefits
under Article III hereof, shall be paid a

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

monthly pension benefit commencing on the first day of the first month following
the date of the Participant's Separation from Service and continuing for the
Participant's lifetime, which benefit shall be equal to any positive difference
between (a) a percentage of the Participant's Qualified Compensation based upon
the sum of such Participant's Deemed Age and Deemed Years of Service as of the
date of the Participant's Separation from Service, all as set forth in the
Participant's Participation Form, and (b) the Participant's vested accrued
monthly benefit under the Infonet Pension Plan, or in the case of an employee of
an Affiliate, such other pension or retirement plans as are designated by the
President in the Participation Form, assuming that such benefit is payable to
the Participant in the form of a single life annuity commencing on the first day
of the first month after the date of the Participant's Separation from Service.
If the election and transfer described in Section 5.4 hereof occurs while the
Participant is an Employee, no further pension benefits shall accrue under the
ISERP for such Participant or be payable after such transfer to such Participant
upon his subsequent Separation from Service. If a Participant ceases to be a
Participant or an Eligible Employee, he shall thereupon cease further accruals
of pension benefits under the ISERP.

                                   ARTICLE V

                           Form of Pension Payments
                           ------------------------

          5.1  Generally.  Subject to Sections 5.2 and 5.4 hereof, pension
               ---------
benefits payable under the ISERP shall be paid to the Participant monthly for
the Participant's life.

          5.2  Joint and Survivor Annuity Option.  At least one year prior to
               ---------------------------------
the commencement of payment of a Participant's pension benefits pursuant to
Section 5.1 hereof, the Participant may, in lieu of receiving pension benefits
in the form described in Section 5.1 hereof, elect to receive benefit payments
under the ISERP in the form of a joint and survivor annuity which provides
reduced monthly benefits for the lifetime of the Participant with a stipulated

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

percentage elected by the Participant of such reduced amount being payable after
the Participant's death to the spouse to whom the Participant is married as of
the date of the Participant's Separation from Service, for the lifetime of such
spouse.  No such election shall become effective if the Participant's Separation
from Service occurs within one year of the date of such election;
notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who marries within the one year
period prior to Separation from Service may elect a joint and survivor annuity
with 60 days following the date of such marriage.  The amount of the monthly
benefit payable under this option shall be determined by reference to factors
such as the Participant's life expectancy, the life expectancy of the
Participant's spouse, prevailing interest rates and the percentage of the
Participant's monthly benefit which is payable after the Participant's death to
the Participant's spouse, all (except for such percentage, which is selected by
the Participant) as determined by the President, such that the value of the
joint and survivor annuity provided under this Section 5.2 is the actuarial
equivalent of the benefits otherwise payable under Section 5.1 hereof.  In
determining the monthly amount payable under the joint and survivor annuity
option provided under this Section 5.2 with respect to any Participant, the
President may rely upon such information as he, in his sole discretion, deems
reliable, including but not limited to, the opinion of an enrolled actuary or
annuity purchase rates quoted by an insurance company licensed to conduct an
insurance business in the State of California.

          5.3  Irrevocability of Joint and Survivor Annuity Option.  A
               ---------------------------------------------------
Participant's election of a joint and survivor annuity provided under Section
5.2 hereof is irrevocable after benefit payments have commenced and the monthly
amount payable during the lifetime of the Participant shall in no event be
adjusted by reason of the death of the Participant's spouse prior to the death
of the Participant, or by reason of the dissolution of the marriage between the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Participant and such spouse, or for any other reason, except that a Participant
whose marriage is dissolved may designate another beneficiary to receive the
pension benefits which would otherwise be payable to the Participant's former
spouse as a joint and survivor annuity provided under Section 5.2 hereof.

          5.4  Lump Sum Option.
               ---------------

               (a)  In lieu of receiving pension benefits in the form described
in either Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, a Participant may elect to have his Lump
Sum Value transferred and credited on the date that such Participant would
otherwise commence receiving benefits under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof to his
account under the IDIP and paid in accordance with his elections under the IDIP.
This election must be made at least one (1) calendar year preceding the date
upon which distribution of amounts under the ISERP would otherwise have been
made for those who have not attained the minimum Deemed Age on or prior to July
1, 1998; provided, that no such election shall become effective if the
Participant's Separation from Service occurs within one year of such election.

               (b)  For those Participants who attained the minimum Deemed Age
on or prior to July 1, 1998, the Participant may elect, at least one calendar
year preceding the date of transfer, to transfer and credit his Lump Sum Value
to his account under the IDIP, provided that no such election shall become
effective if the Participant's Separation from Service occurs within one year of
such election. If a Participant elects to transfer and credit his Lump Sum Value
to his account under the IDIP while still active, (i) the offset described in
Article IV(b) shall be determined and frozen as of the date of transfer; (ii) no
further pension benefits shall accrue or be payable under Article IV hereof from
and after the date of transfer and (c) death benefits under Article VI will be
payable up to the date of transfer but not thereafter.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

               (c)  Any election to transfer the Participant's Lump Sum Value to
the IDIP may be amended not later than one calendar year preceding the original
date of transfer; provided that no such amended election shall become effective
if the Participant's Separation from Service occurs within one year of such
amended election.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                                Death Benefits
                                --------------

     In lieu of the pension benefit provided under Article IV, the named
Beneficiary of a Participant who dies while he is employed by an Employer shall
be entitled to receive a lump sum benefit equal to two hundred fifty percent
(250%) of the Participant's Qualified Compensation, determined as of the date of
such Participant's death.  No death benefit hereunder shall be payable with
respect to any Participant who dies after his Separation from Service, except
that the spouse of a deceased Participant shall continue to receive pension
benefits under the ISERP if the Participant was receiving pension benefits at
the date of his death in the form of a joint and survivor annuity.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                              Disability Benefits
                              -------------------

     No disability benefits shall be payable under the ISERP, except that a
Participant who suffers a Permanent Disability and incurs a Separation from
Service shall be entitled to receive pension benefits under the ISERP upon the
Participant's Separation from Service as set forth in Article IV.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                                 ARTICLE VIIA

                  Post-Employment Health and Medical Coverage
                  -------------------------------------------

          7A.1  Eligibility.  With respect to Separations from Service which
                -----------
occur on and after October 1, 2000, a Participant who satisfies the requirements
of Article III shall be eligible for post-employment health and medical
insurance coverage as described in Section 7A.2.

          7A.2  Benefits.  The Employer shall provide comprehensive health and
                --------
medical insurance coverage hereunder consisting of coverage for a Participant,
and such Participant's spouse and the Participant's dependent children, which
coverage shall be not less favorable to the Participant, the Participant's
spouse and the Participant's dependent children as the health and medical
benefit coverage applicable to such Participant immediately prior to the date on
which the Participant satisfies the requirements of Section 7A.1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if any change made by the Employer in health
and medical benefits coverage for executive Employees occurs subsequent to the
date of the Participant's Separation from Service and (b) if such change results
in superior health and medical insurance coverage for executive Employees than
is then applicable to the Participant, the Participant's spouse and the
Participant's dependents, such superior health and medical benefits coverage, or
the equivalent thereof, shall be substituted for the health and medical benefits
coverage then applicable to the Participant, the Participant's spouse and the
Participant's dependents under the ISERP.  For purposes of this Article VIIA,
"spouse" and "dependent children" shall have the same meaning as defined in the
written instrument governing the operation of the health and medical coverage
applicable to the Participant at the time such Participant satisfies the
requirements of Section 7A.1.

          7A.3  Duration of Coverage.  The health and medical insurance coverage
                --------------------
provided under this Article VIIA shall be in effect with respect to the
Participant from the date such coverage is effective pursuant to Section 7A.1
until the date of the Participant's death.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Upon the death of the Participant, coverage for the Participant's spouse and
dependent children shall continue for the lifetime of such spouse. In the event
the spouse is not living upon the death of the Participant or if the Participant
and the Participant's spouse die in a common accident, continuation of coverage
with respect to the Participant's dependent children subsequent to the death of
the Participant shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the health
and medical insurance coverage applicable to the Participant at the time of the
Participant's death.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                                Administration

          8.1  Authority of the President.  The ISERP shall be administered by
               --------------------------
the President, who shall have all such powers as are necessary for the operation
and administration of the ISERP, or by such other person or persons to whom the
President may delegate all or part of the President's powers or responsibilities
hereunder.  With respect to all matters pertaining to the ISERP, the President
or his designated delegate shall be responsible for the operation and
administration of the ISERP and shall have the power in its good faith
discretion to interpret the ISERP and all documents relating thereto and to make
such other determinations as may be required or appropriate.  Each determination
by the President or his designated delegate as to any matter respecting the
operation and administration of the ISERP and the other provisions of the ISERP
shall be made in a nondiscriminatory manner.

          8.2  Delegation of Powers; Reliance on Third Parties.  The President
               -----------------------------------------------
may delegate his powers as appropriate and may engage counsel and such clerical,
financial, investment, accounting, and other specialized services as he may deem
necessary or desirable for the operation and administration of the ISERP.  The
President shall be entitled to rely upon any opinions, reports or other advice
furnished by counsel or other specialists engaged for such

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

purpose and, in so relying, shall be fully protected in any action,
determination, or mission taken or made in good faith.

          8.3  Indemnification.  The Employers shall defend, indemnify and hold
               ---------------
harmless the President and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
(and each member thereof), and any other person or committee to whom they have
delegated any of their responsibilities hereunder, acting in their capacity as
such and not as Participants herein, from any and all claims, losses, damages,
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities
(collectively "Liability") arising from any action, failure to act, or other
conduct in their official capacity under the ISERP, except with respect to any
Liability which results from an individual's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

          8.4  President's Participation.  The President shall be eligible to
               -------------------------
participate in the ISERP in the same manner as any other employee, provided that
the designation of the President as a Participant and any other action provided
herein with respect to the President's participation in the ISERP shall be taken
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and implemented by the
Secretary.

                                  ARTICLE IX

               Right to Amend, Modify, Suspend or Terminate Plan
               -------------------------------------------------

          9.1  Amendment or Termination.  By action of the Board of Directors,
               ------------------------
Infonet may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the ISERP or the Participants'
Participation Forms without further liability to any Participant, Employee,
former Employee or any other person.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
the ISERP and Participants' Participation Forms may not be amended, modified,
suspended or terminated so as to reduce the amount of the pension benefit or
post-employment health and medical insurance coverage of a Participant
(or such Participant's spouse and dependent children, as applicable), without
the express prior written

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

consent of such Participant or, if deceased, such Participant's spouse. In the
event that both the Participant and the Participant's spouse are deceased, but
post-employment health and medical insurance coverage remains in effect with
respect to a dependent child or children of the Participant pursuant to Article
VIIA hereof, the legal guardian of each such child shall be required to provide
the express prior written consent required herein. Upon termination of the
ISERP, the President in his sole discretion may pay the Participants the Lump
Sum Value of their pension benefits under the ISERP within thirty (30) days

<PAGE>

understood by the claimant with specific references to the pertinent ISERP
provisions on which the decision is based.

                ---------------------------
the full power and authority to resolve any questions and settle all

          10.7  Authority of President.  The President shall determine, subject
                ----------------------
to the concurrence of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors:  (a)

                -----------
ISERP between the Participant and the Participant's Employer shall be submitted

the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Participant and
the Participant's Employer, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court

                                  ARTICLE XI

                           Miscellaneous Provisions
                           ------------------------

          11.1  No Assignment of Benefits.  No pension benefit payable under, or
                -------------------------
interest in, the ISERP shall be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, garnishment, or
charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void.  Any such benefit or interest
shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements, or torts of any Participant or his Beneficiaries.  If
the President determines that any Participant or Beneficiary has become bankrupt
or that any attempt has been made to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer,
assign, pledge, encumber, garnish, or charge any pension benefit payable under,
or interest in, the ISERP, the President shall hold or apply such benefit or
interest or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such Participant or
Beneficiary.

          11.2  Releases.  In connection with any benefit or benefit payment
                --------
under the ISERP, or the designation of any Beneficiary or any election or other
action taken or to be taken under the ISERP by any Participant or any other
person, Infonet, acting through the President or his delegate, may require such
consents or releases as the President or his delegate determines to be
appropriate, and further may require any such designation, election or other
action to be in writing and in a form satisfactory to the President or his
delegate.

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

          11.3  No Waiver.  The failure of an Employer, the President or any
                ---------
other person acting on behalf thereof to demand that a Participant or other
person claiming rights with respect to a Participant perform any act which such
Participant or person is or may be required to perform hereunder shall not
constitute a waiver of such requirement or a waiver of the right to require such
act.  The exercise of or failure to exercise any discretion reserved to an
Employer, the President or his delegate, or to grant or deny any benefit to any
Participant or other person under the ISERP shall in no way require the
Employer, the President or his delegate to similarly exercise or fail to
exercise such discretion with respect to any other Participant or person.

          11.4  No Contract.  The ISERP is strictly a voluntary undertaking on
                -----------
the part of the Employers and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract or
part of a contract between an Employer and any Employee or other person, nor
shall it be deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained for any
specified period of time in the employ of an Employer or to interfere with the
right of an Employer to discharge any Employee at any time, with or without
cause, nor shall the ISERP interfere with the right of an Employer to establish
the terms and conditions of employment of any Employee.

          11.5  Nature of ISERP Benefits.  The ISERP shall not be "funded" for
                ------------------------
tax purposes or within the meaning of ERISA.  It is intended that the ISERP
shall only provide deferred compensation benefits and/or welfare benefits, as
the case may be, for a select group of management or highly compensated
employees and, therefore, that the ISERP shall not be subject to Parts 2 and 3
of Title I of ERISA, and deferred compensation benefits under the ISERP shall
not be subject to Part 4 of Title I of ERISA and welfare benefits under the
ISERP shall be exempt from the reporting and disclosure provisions of Part 1 of
Title I of ERISA, except for the provision of plan documents to the Secretary of
Labor upon request as required by

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

Section 104(a) of ERISA. The Employers shall not, by virtue of any provisions of
the ISERP or by any action of any person, be deemed to be trustees or other
fiduciaries of any property for any Participant or Beneficiaries, and the
liabilities of an Employer to any Participant or his Beneficiary pursuant to the
ISERP shall be those of a debtor pursuant only to such contractual obligations
as are created by the ISERP; no such obligation of an Employer shall be deemed
to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the
Employer. Pension benefits and/or premiums or similar amounts paid for the
purpose of providing post-employment health and medical insurance coverage under
the ISERP shall be payable from the general assets of the Employers or pursuant
to such other means as the Employers deem appropriate, and no Participant or
other person shall be entitled to look to any source for payment of such pension
benefits and/or premiums or similar amounts paid for the purpose of providing
post-employment health and medical insurance coverage other than the general
assets of the Employers. To the extent that any Participant or Beneficiary
acquires a right to receive payment under the ISERP, such right shall be no
greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Employers.

          11.6  Governing Law.  The ISERP shall be construed, administered and
                -------------
governed in all respects under and by applicable federal laws and, where state
law is applicable, the laws of the State of California.

          11.7  Pronouns and Plurality.  The masculine pronoun shall include the
                ----------------------
feminine pronoun, and the singular shall include the plural where the context so
indicates.
          11.8  Titles.  Titles are provided herein for convenience of reference
                ------
only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the
ISERP.

                                     -15-
<PAGE>

          11.9  References.  Unless the context clearly indicates to the
                ----------
contrary, a reference to a statute, regulation or document shall be construed as
referring to any subsequently enacted, adopted or executed statute, regulation
or document.

          11.10  Severable Provisions.  The provisions of the ISERP are
                 --------------------
severable and if any one or more articles, sections, subsections, paragraphs,
clauses or provisions of the ISERP is determined to be illegal, indefinite,
invalid or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining
provisions, and any partially unenforceable provisions to the extent enforceable
in any jurisdiction, shall continue in full force and effect and shall be
binding and enforceable.

          11.11  Inability to Ascertain Amount of Payment or to Locate Payee.
                 -----------------------------------------------------------
If an amount payable under the ISERP cannot be ascertained or the person to whom
it is payable has not been ascertained or located within the stated time limits
under the ISERP and reasonable efforts to do so have been made, then
distribution shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after such amount is
determined or such person is ascertained or located.

          11.12  Minors and Incompetents.  If the President shall determine that
                 -----------------------
any person to whom payment is payable under the ISERP is unable to care for his
affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a
prior claim therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian,
committee or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child,
parent, or brother or sister, or to any person deemed by the President to have
incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment, in such manner
and proportions as the President may determine in his sole discretion.  Any such
payment shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Employers, the
President and the Board of Directors under the ISERP.

                                     -16-
<PAGE>

          11.13  Payment Not Salary.  Any benefits payable under the ISERP shall
                 ------------------
not be deemed salary or other compensation to the Employee for the purposes of
computing benefits to which he may be entitled under any pension plan or other
arrangement of any Employer maintained for the benefit of its employees, unless
such pension plan or arrangement provides for inclusion of such amounts as
salary or other compensation.

          11.14  Withholding.  The Employers shall have the right to make such
                 -----------
provisions as they deem necessary or appropriate to satisfy any obligations they
may have to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by
reason of payments or accruals pursuant to the ISERP.

          11.15  Successors of the Employers.  The ISERP shall be binding upon
                 ---------------------------
and inure to the benefit of the Employers, their successors and assigns and the
Participants and their heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives.  In the event that the Employers sell all or substantially all
of the assets of their business and the acquiror of such assets assumes the
obligations hereunder, the Employers shall be released from any liability
imposed herein and shall have no obligation to provide any benefits payable
hereunder.

          11.16  Other Documents Incorporated by Reference.  Post-employment
                 -----------------------------------------
health and medical insurance coverage pursuant to Article VIIA hereof shall be
provided by such insurance contracts or through such other arrangements as shall
be designated by the President for such purpose, in his sole discretion.  Any
insurance contracts or other arrangements entered into for the purpose of
providing post-employment health and medical insurance coverage pursuant to
Article VIIA hereof shall be incorporated herein by reference.  The rights and
conditions with respect to the benefits payable from such insurance contracts
and other arrangements shall be determined from the contracts and written
instruments governing such other arrangements.

given to such terms in the Infonet Services Corporation 2000 Omnibus Stock Plan
(the "Plan").

                             W I T N E S S E T H :
                             --------------------

     1.   Grant of Option.  Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company
          ---------------
hereby grants to the Optionee, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan
and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the right and
option to purchase from the Company all or any part of an aggregate of the
number of Class B, $.01 par value, shares of the Company (the "Stock") set forth
in the Certificate, at a per share purchase price set forth in the Certificate
(the "Option"), such Option to be exercisable as hereinafter provided.  The
Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

     2.   Terms and Conditions.  It is understood and agreed that the Option
          --------------------
evidenced hereby is subject to the following terms and conditions:

          (a)    Expiration Date. The Option shall expire on the date set forth
                 ---------------
     in the Certificate.

          (b)    Exercise of Option.  (i)  Subject to the other terms of this
                 ------------------
Agreement, the Plan or a separate written employment agreement between the
Company and the Optionee, the Option may be exercised on or after the dates set
forth in the Certificate as to the number of shares of Stock set forth in the
Certificate, plus any shares of Stock as to which the Option could have been
exercised previously, but was not so exercised.

          (ii)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(b)
     upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Option shall immediately
     become exercisable as to the full number of shares covered by the Option.

          (iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(b)
     upon the Termination by reason of Retirement (as defined below) of the
     Optionee as a member of the Company's Board (a "Director") or as an
     Employee of the Company, the Option shall immediately become exercisable as
     to the full number of shares covered by the Option,
<PAGE>

     and may be exercised after such Termination until the stated expiration
     date of the Option.

          (iv)   Any exercise of all or any part of the Option shall be
     accompanied by a Cash Letter of Authorization (available from the AST
     Stockplan website) which is a written notice to the Company specifying the
     number of shares of Stock as to which the Option is being exercised.  Upon
     the valid exercise of all or any part of the Option, the number of shares
     of Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised shall be issued in
     the name of the Optionee, subject to the other terms and conditions of this
     Agreement and the Plan.  Notation of any partial exercise shall be made by
     the Company in its records.

          (c)    Consideration.  At the time of any exercise of the Option, the
                 -------------
purchase price of the shares of Stock as to which the Option shall be exercised
shall be paid to the Company (i) in United States dollars by personal check,
bank draft or money order; (ii) if permitted by applicable law and approved by
the Committee, with Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, already
owned by the Optionee (or by the Optionee and his spouse jointly) for at least
six (6) months prior to the tender thereof and not used for another such
exercise during such six (6) month period, having a total Fair Market Value on
the date of such exercise of the Option, equal to such purchase price of such
shares of Stock; (iii) if permitted by applicable law, in accordance with a
cashless exercise or broker-assisted exercise procedure approved by the
Committee permitting the Optionee to authorize a broker or dealer to sell shares
of Stock (or a sufficient portion of such shares) that may be acquired upon
exercise of the Option and pay to the Company in cash a portion of the sale
proceeds equal to such purchase price of the shares of Stock for which the
Option is so exercised and any taxes required to be paid as a result of such
exercise; or (iv) in a combination of the consideration provided for in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iii).

          (d)    Exercise Upon Death, Disability or Termination of Employment or
                 ---------------------------------------------------------------
Directorship.  Subject to the terms of any separate written employment agreement
------------
between the Optionee and the Company, the Option shall terminate upon the
Termination, for any reason, of the Optionee as a Director or as an Employee of
the Company, and no shares of Stock may thereafter be purchased under the
Option, except as follows:

          (i)    In the event of the death of the Optionee while a Director or
     Employee of the Company, the Option, to the extent exercisable in
     accordance with Section 2(b) hereof at the time of his death, may be
     exercised after the Optionee's death by his designated beneficiary, his
     heir, the legal representative of the Optionee's estate or the legatee of
     the Optionee under his last will until the stated expiration date of the
     Option.

          (ii)   If the Optionee's directorship or employment with the Company
     shall terminate by reason of Disability, the Option, to the extent
     exercisable in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof upon such Termination,
     may be exercised after such Termination until the stated expiration date of
     the Option.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall have the
     definition given such term in the Plan, but nevertheless shall be limited
     to a "permanent and total disability" as set forth in Section 22(e)(3) of
     the Code.

                                       2
<PAGE>

          (iii)  If the Optionee's directorship or employment with the Company
     shall terminate by reason of his Retirement (as defined below), the Option
     may be exercised after such Termination with respect to the full number of
     shares covered by the Option until the stated expiration date of the
     Option.

          (iv)   In the event the Optionee ceases to be a Director or an
     Employee of the Company and the Optionee's Termination is neither by reason
     of Disability nor Retirement (as defined below), nor for Cause, the Option,
     to the extent exercisable in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof upon such
     Termination, may be exercised after such Termination until the earlier to
     occur of the expiration of three (3) months following such Termination and
     the stated expiration date of the Option.

          (v)    If the Optionee dies during the periods following Termination
     specified in paragraphs (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2(d), the
     Option, to the extent the Option would have been exercisable pursuant to
     such applicable paragraph (ii), (iii) or (iv) as of the date of the
     Optionee's death, may be exercised after the Optionee's death by his
     designated beneficiary, his heir, the legal representative of his estate or
     the legatee of the Optionee under his last will until the stated expiration
     date of the Option.

          (vi)   In the event the Optionee ceases to be a Director or an
     Employee of the Company due to Termination for Cause, or Termination under
     any circumstances not otherwise described in paragraph (i), (ii), (iii) or
     (iv) of this Section 2(d), the Option shall automatically, without any
     further action required by the Company, terminate on the date of such
     Termination and shall cease to thereafter be exercisable with respect to
     any shares of Stock.

          (vii)  For purposes of this Agreement, "Retirement" shall mean an
     Optionee's Termination on or after his or her attainment of age 55 and the
     performance of ten (10) years of credited service to the Company.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an Optionee who is a
     Director, "Retirement" shall mean such Optionee's termination of services
     as a Director for any reason.

          (e)    Nontransferability. The Option shall not be transferable,
                 ------------------
except to a Permitted Transferee, otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and is exercisable, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only
by the Optionee and the Optionee's Permitted Transferees; provided that the
Option may be exercised after the Optionee's death by the beneficiary most
recently named by the Optionee in a written designation thereof filed by the
Optionee with the Company, in accordance with the Plan.

          (f)    Withholding Taxes.  At the time of receipt of Stock upon the
                 -----------------
exercise of all or any part of the Option, the Optionee shall be required to pay
to the Company in cash (or make other arrangements, in accordance with Section
11.4 of the Plan, for the satisfaction of) any taxes of any kind required by law
to be withheld with respect to such Stock; provided, however, such tax
withholding obligations may be met, in whole or in part, pursuant to procedures,
if any, approved by the Committee in its discretion and in accordance with
applicable law, by (i) the withholding by the Company of Stock otherwise
deliverable to the Optionee pursuant to the Option with a Fair Market Value on
the date of such exercise equal to

                                       3
<PAGE>

such tax liability (provided, however, that the amount of any Stock so withheld
shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company's required tax
withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for
Federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that
are applicable to supplemental taxable income) and/or (ii) tendering to the
Company Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, owned by the Optionee
(or by the Optionee and his spouse jointly) and acquired more than six (6)
months prior to such tender with a Fair Market Value on the date of such
exercise equal to such tax liability. In no event shall Stock be delivered to
the Optionee until the Optionee has paid to the Company in cash, or made
arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, the amount of
any taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Stock
subject to the Option, and the Company shall have the right to deduct any such
taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee.

          (g)    No Rights as Stockholder.  The Optionee shall not become the
                 ------------------------
beneficial owner of the shares of Stock subject to the Option, nor have any
rights to dividends or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any such
shares, until the Optionee has exercised the Option in accordance with the
provisions hereof and of the Plan.

          (h)    No Right to Continued Employment or Directorship.  The Option
                 ------------------------------------------------
shall not confer upon the Optionee any right to be retained in the service of
the Company, nor restrict in any way the right of the Company, which right is
hereby expressly reserved, to terminate his directorship or employment at any
time with or without cause, except as otherwise provided in any separate
employment contract governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
United States or any State thereof between the Company and the Optionee.

          (i)    Inconsistency with Plan. Notwithstanding any provision herein
                 -----------------------
to the contrary, the Option provides the Optionee with no greater rights or
claims than are specifically provided for under the Plan. If and to the extent
that any provision contained in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan,
the Plan shall govern.

          (j)    Compliance with Laws and Regulations.  The Option and the
                 ------------------------------------
obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares of Stock hereunder shall be
subject in all respects to (i) all applicable Federal and state laws, rules and
regulations and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other
requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the
Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable.
Moreover, the Option may not be exercised if its exercise, or the receipt of
shares of Stock pursuant thereto, would be contrary to applicable law.

     3.  Investment Representation.  If at the time of exercise of all or part
         -------------------------
of the Option the Stock is not registered under the Securities Act and/or there
is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the
Stock, the Optionee shall execute, prior to the issuance of any shares of Stock
to the Optionee by the Company, an agreement (in such form as the Committee may
specify) in which the Optionee, among other things, represents, warrants and
agrees that the Optionee is purchasing or acquiring the shares acquired under
this Agreement for the Optionee's own account, for investment only and not with
a view to the resale or distribution thereof, that the Optionee has knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters, that the Optionee is capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of owning any shares of Stock

                                       4
<PAGE>

purchased or acquired under this Agreement, that the Optionee is a person who is
able to bear the economic risk of such ownership and that any subsequent offer
for sale or distribution of any of such shares shall be made only pursuant to
(i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act,
which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to
the shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, it being understood that to the
extent any such exemption is claimed, the Optionee shall, prior to any offer for
sale or sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Committee, from counsel for or approved by the
Committee, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.

     4.  Optionee Bound by Plan.  The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a
         ----------------------
copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions
thereof, including the terms and provisions adopted after the granting of the
Option but prior to the complete exercise hereof, subject to the last paragraph
of Section 11.2 of the Plan as in effect on the date hereof.

         -------------
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California applicable to contracts executed and to be performed entirely within
such state, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof.

     7.  Modification.  Except as otherwise permitted by the Plan, this
         ------------
Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any provision hereof be
waived, in any way except in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement thereof is sought.
