Agreement and Parent, Merger Sub and the Company mutually desire to amend the
Merger Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4 thereof;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and
agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Section 1.6(c) is deleted in its entirety and the following is
substituted in lieu thereof:
"(c) Company Stock Option Plans and Company ESPP. At the Effective

----------------
ESPP on February 1, 2000 and will end on the date provided for in Section

participants in the current Offering Period, there are no other purchase rights
or options outstanding under the Company ESPP. The terms of the Company ESPP
permit the Company to shorten and terminate Offering Periods without the consent
or approval of participants in the ESPP, shareholders, or otherwise." are
deleted in their entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
"The current "Offering Period" (as defined in the Company ESPP)
---------------
commenced under the Company ESPP on February 1, 2000 and will end on
January 31, 2002, and except for the purchase rights granted on such
commencement date to participants in the current Offering Period, there are
no other purchase rights or options outstanding under the Company ESPP."
3. Section 2.14(j) is hereby deleted in its entirety.
4. Section 5.9(c) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is
substituted in lieu thereof:
"(c) Outstanding options under the Company ESPP shall be assumed by
the Parent and shall be exercised on January 31, 2002, for Parent Common
Stock. For purposes of such exercise, the per share Purchase Price for a
Participant, as such terms are defined in the Company ESPP, is an amount
equal to 85% of (i) the fair market value of a share of Company Common
Stock on the Participant's Enrollment Date, divided by the Exchange Ratio
and rounded up to the nearest whole cent, or (ii) the fair market value of
a share of Parent Common Stock on January 31, 2002, whichever is lower. The
number of whole shares purchased by each Participant will be based on the
total amount of payroll deductions accumulated for each Participant and
retained in each Participant's account divided by the Participant's
Purchase Price, as adjusted above. The Company ESPP shall terminate on
January 31, 2002, immediately following the purchase. Company employees
who meet the eligibility requirements for participation in the Parent
Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be eligible to begin participation in
the Parent Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of the first Semi-Annual Entry
Date, as such term is defined in the Parent Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
after January 31, 2002."
