Grantee (other than a consultant) terminates his or her employment with the
Corporation and/or its subsidiaries because of normal or early retirement (as
such terms are denied in the Corporation's then existing Pension Plan or, in the
absence of any Pension Plan, in a retirement policy plan adopted by the Board
that is applicable to the Grantee), any remaining Period of Restriction
applicable to the restricted shares pursuant to Section 12 hereof shall

still subject to restrictions at the date of such termination shall
automatically be forfeited and returned to the Corporation.

      


      21.
Effect of Change in Control. Except as specified in the Restricted Stock Grant
Agreement, the Period of Restriction shall terminate in any event upon a Change
in Control.

      


      22. No
Employment Rights Created. Nothing in this Plan or in any grant of restricted
shares pursuant to this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries to terminate any eligible
person's or Grantee's employment or consulting relationship at any time, or
confer upon any eligible person or Grantee any right to continue in the employ
of (or as a consultant to) the Corporation and/or any of its
subsidiaries.

      


      23.
Nontransferability of Rights or Restricted Shares. No rights or shares granted
under this Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated, except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution until the termination of the applicable Period of Restriction. All
rights granted to a Grantee under the Plan shall be exercisable during the
Grantee's lifetime only by the Grantee, or by the guardian or legal

representative or beneficiary of the Grantee may exercise the Grantee's rights
under the Plan.

      


      24.
Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, modify, alter, or
terminate this Plan, except that (1) such amendment, modification, alteration,
or termination may not adversely affect the rights of any existing Grantee,
without the consent of such Grantee, and (2) shareholder approval must be
obtained for any amendment which would: (i) materially increase the benefits
accruing to participants under the Plan, (ii) materially increase the number of
securities which may be issued under the Plan; or (iii) materially modify the

with respect to such shares prior to delivery of any certificate or certificates
for such shares.

      


      26.

suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may
be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and
against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of a
judgment in any action, suit or proceeding against him or her, provided that he
or she shall give the Corporation an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle

elect, in a form filed with the Board at the time and in the manner the Board
shall determine, to sell to the Corporation up to one-half of the shares issued
to the Grantee pursuant to this Platt and upon which the restrictions set forth
in Section 12 have lapsed. To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall
purchase such shares. Each sale shall occur within five days after the last day
of the Period of Restriction for the shares in question and shall be for a price
equal to the Fair Market Value determined as of the last day of the Period of
Restriction of the shares to be sold. The purchase price, to the extent
permitted by law, shall be payable in cash or by check in one lump sum payment,
unless provisions relating to payment for such shares in  installments
are agreed to by the Corporation and the Grantee (or the Grantee's beneficiary
or personal representative).

Percentage (as defined below) in effect for the calendar year during which the
grant becomes transferable and (ii) the amount (to the extent deductible by the
Corporation) required to be taken into income by the grantee for federal income
tax purposes by reason of the grant of restricted stock pursuant to this Plan.

and the fees of experts may be assessed against any person found to have acted
in bad faith.
