     *Senior Management Committee lel positions.

          a. Corporate Component. The Corporate Component of an Award is based
             -------------------
upon the overall performance of the Sponsor. In the event the conditions set
forth in Section 1 of Article V are met and the Compensation Committee, in its
discretion, determines an appropriate Corporate Factor, that Corporate Factor
shall be multiplied by the portion of a Participant's Target Award Opportunity
attributable to the Corporate Component in order to determine the percentage of
such Participant's Salary which will comprise the Corporate Component of his or
her Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the second condition set forth in
Section 1 of Article V is not fully met, the Compensation Committee may
nevertheless in its discretion determine an appropriate Corporate Factor and
grant a Corporate Component of an Award to the Participants.

          b. Noncorporate Component. The Noncorporate Component of an Award for
             ----------------------
a Participant is based upon the level of attainment of Company, business
unit/group, departmental and individual Performance Measures. Performance
Measures for each Participant and their relative weight are determined pursuant
to authority granted in Article III hereof.

               (i) Performance Levels. There are three levels of performance
                   ------------------
related to each of a Participant's Performance Measures: outstanding, target,
and threshold. The specific performance criteria for each level of a
Participant's Performance Measures shall be set forth in

                                       7

<PAGE>

writing prior to the beginning of an applicable Year, or within thirty (30) days
after a Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, and shall
be determined pursuant to authority granted in Article III hereof. The payout
percentages to be applied to each Participant's Target Award Opportunity are as
follows:

Performance Level               Payout Percentage
-----------------               -----------------
    Outstanding                       150%
       Target                         100%
     Threshold                         50%

Payout percentages shall be adjusted for performance between the designated
performance levels, provided, however, that performance which falls below the
"Threshold" performance level results in a payout percentage of zero unless the
Chief Executive Officer of Sponsor directs otherwise.

               (ii) Determination of Noncorporate Component. In order to
                    ---------------------------------------
determine a Participant's Noncorporate Component, if any, for a particular Year,
the Chief Executive Officer of Sponsor initially shall determine the appropriate
payout percentage for each of such Participant's Performance Measures.
Thereafter, each payout percentage is multiplied by the percentage weight
assigned to each such Performance Measure and the results added together. That
aggregate amount is multiplied by the Participant's Target Award Opportunity for
the Noncorporate Award Component for the respective Year and the result is
multiplied by the Participant's Salary.

               (iii) Change of Job Status. Participants who change organizations
                     --------------------
during a Year will have their Noncorporate Component prorated based upon the
Performance Measures achieved in each organization and the length of time served
in each organization. In the

                                        8

<PAGE>

discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of Sponsor, employees may become
Participants during a Year based on promotions and may receive an Award prorated
based on the length of time served in the qualifying job and the Performance
Measures achieved while in the qualifying job.

     4. New Participants. Any Award that is earned during the Year of selection
        ----------------
shall be pro rated based on the length of time served in the qualifying job.

     5. Reduction of Award Amount. In the event of documented performance
        -------------------------
deficiencies of a Participant during a Year, the Chief Executive Officer of
Sponsor, in his discretion, may reduce the Award payable to such Participant for
such Year.

     6. Example. Attached as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference is an
        -------
example of the process by which an Award is granted hereunder. Said exhibit is
intended solely as an example and in no way modifies the provisions of this
Article V.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                       DISTRIBUTION AND DEFERRAL OF AWARDS
                       -----------------------------------

     1. Distribution of Awards. Unless a Participant elects to defer an award
        ----------------------
pursuant to the remaining provisions of this Article VI, awards under the Plan
earned during any Year shall be paid in cash in the succeeding Year, normally no
later than March 15 of such succeeding Year.

     2. Deferral Election. A Participant may elect to defer the Plan Award he or
        -----------------
she has earned for any Year by completing and submitting to the Vice President,
Human Resources, a deferral election form by the later of (1) November 30 of the
Year in which the Award is earned or (2) the thirtieth (30th) day after first
becoming eligible to participate in the deferral election provisions of the
Plan. Such election shall apply to the Participant's Award, if any, otherwise to

                                        9

<PAGE>

be paid as soon as practicable after the Year during which it was earned. A
Participant's deferral election may apply to 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% of the Plan
Award; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount deferred be less
than $1,000.

     The election to defer shall be irrevocable as to the Award earned during
the particular Year.

     3. Period of Deferral. At the time of a Participant's deferral election, a
        ------------------
Participant must also select a distribution date. Subject to Section 6, the
distribution date may be: (a) any date that is at least five (5) years
subsequent to the date the Plan Award would otherwise be payable, but not later
than the second anniversary of the Participant's Date of Retirement; or (b) any
date that is within two years following the Participant's Date of Retirement.
Subject to Section 6, a Participant may extend the distribution date for one or
more additional Year(s) by making a new deferral election at least one (1) year
before the previously selected distribution date occurs; provided, however, that
in no event shall the subsequent distribution date be a date that is more than
two years beyond the Participant's Date of Retirement.

     4. Performance Units. All Awards which are deferred under the Plan shall be
        -----------------
recorded in the form of Performance Units. Each Performance Unit is generally
equivalent to a share of the Sponsor's Common Stock. In converting the cash
award to Performance Units, the number of Performance Units granted shall be
determined by dividing the amount of the Award by 85% of the average value of
the opening and closing price of a share of the Sponsor's Common Stock on the
last trading day of the month preceding the date of the Award. The Performance
Units attributable to the 15% discount from the average value of the Sponsor's
Common Stock shall be referred to as the "Incentive Performance Units." The
Incentive Performance Units and any adjustments or earnings attributable to
those Performance Units shall

                                       10

<PAGE>

be forfeited by the Participant if he or she terminates employment either
voluntarily or involuntarily other than for death or retirement prior to five
years from March 15 of the Year in which payment would have been made if the
Award had not been deferred.

     5. Plan Accounts. A Plan Deferral Account will be established on behalf of
        -------------
each Participant, and the number of Performance Units awarded to a Participant
shall be recorded in each Participant's Plan Deferral Account as of the first of
the month coincident with or next following the month in which a deferral
becomes effective. The number of Performance Units recorded in a Participant's
Plan Deferral Account shall be adjusted to reflect any splits or other
adjustments in the Sponsor's Common Stock, the payment of any cash dividends
paid on the Sponsor's Common Stock and the payment of Awards under this Plan to
the Participant. To the extent that any cash dividends have been paid on the
Sponsor's Common Stock, the number of Performance Units shall be adjusted to
reflect the number of Performance Units that would have been acquired if the
same dividend had been paid on the number of Performance Units recorded in the
Participant's Plan Deferral Account on the dividend record date. For purposes of
determining the number of Performance Units acquired with such dividend, the
average of the opening and closing price of the Sponsor's Common Stock on the
payment date of the Sponsor's Common Stock dividend shall be used.

     Each Participant shall receive an annual statement of the balance of his
Plan Deferral Account, which shall include the Incentive Performance Units and
associated earnings and adjustments that are subject to being forfeited as
provided above.

     6. Payment of Deferred Plan Awards. Subject to Section 4 related to
        -------------------------------
forfeiture of Incentive Performance Units, Deferred Plan Awards shall be paid in
cash by each Company beginning no later than the next April 1 following the
distribution date or the deferred

                                       11

<PAGE>

distribution date specified by the Participant in accordance with Section 3. To
convert the Performance Units in a Participant's Plan Deferral Account to a cash
payment amount, Performance Units shall be multiplied by the average of the
opening and closing price of the Sponsor's Common Stock on the last trading day
preceding the payment of the Deferred Plan Award. Except as otherwise provided
below, deferred amounts will be paid either in a single lump-sum payment or in
up to five (5) annual payments.

     In the event that a Participant elects to receive the deferred Plan Award
in equal annual payments, the amount of the Award to be received in each year
shall be determined as follows:

          (a) To determine the amount of the initial annual payment, the number
of Performance Units in the Participant's Plan Deferral Account will be divided
by the total number of annual payments to be received, and the result will be
multiplied by the average of the opening and closing price of the Sponsor's
Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the due date of the initial
payment.

          (b) To determine the amount of each successive annual payment, the
Plan Deferral Account balance will be divided by the number of annual payments
remaining, and the result will be multiplied by the average of the opening and
closing price of the Sponsor's Common Stock on the last trading day preceding
the due date of the annual payment.

     7. Termination of Employment/Effect on Deferral Election. If the employment
        -----------------------------------------------------
of a Participant terminates prior to the last day of a Year for which a Plan
Award is determined, then any deferral election made with respect to such Plan
Award for such Year shall not become effective and any Plan Award to which the
Participant is otherwise entitled shall be paid as soon as practicable after the
end of the Year during which it was earned, in accordance with paragraph 1 of
this Article VI.

                                       12

<PAGE>

     8. Termination of Employment/Acceleration of Deferral. Notwithstanding the
        --------------------------------------------------
foregoing, if a Participant terminates employment by reason other than death or
Retirement, full payment of all amounts due to the Participant shall be
accelerated and paid on the first day of the month following the date of
termination. Incentive Performance Units shall be subject to forfeiture as
provided in Section 4.

     9. Financial Hardship Payments. In the event of a severe financial hardship
        ---------------------------
occasioned by an emergency, including, but not limited to, illness, disability
or personal injury sustained by the Participant or a member of the Participant's
immediate family, a Participant may apply to receive a distribution earlier than
initially elected. The Chief Executive Officer of Sponsor or his designee may,
in his sole discretion, either approve or deny the request. The determination
made by the Chief Executive Officer of Sponsor will be final and binding on all
parties. If the request is granted, the payments will be accelerated only to the
extent reasonably necessary to alleviate the financial hardship. Incentive
Performance Units shall not be subject to early distribution under this Section
9 until five years from March 15 of the Year in which payment would have been
made if the Award had not been deferred.

     10. Death of a Participant. If the death of a Participant occurs before a
         ----------------------
full distribution of the Participant's Plan Deferral Account is made, payment
shall be made to the beneficiary designated by the Participant to receive such
amounts in accordance with the schedule specified in the Participant's Deferral
Election form. Said payment shall be made as soon as practical following
notification that death has occurred. In the absence of any such designation,
payment shall be made to the personal representative, executor or administrator
of the Participant's estate.

     11. Non-Assignability of Interests. The interests herein and the right to
         ------------------------------
receive distributions under this Article VI may not be anticipated, alienated,
sold, transferred, assigned,

                                       13

pledged, encumbered, or subjected to any charge or legal process, and if any
attempt is made to do so, or a Participant becomes bankrupt, the interests of
the Participant under this Article VI may be terminated by the Chief Executive
Officer of Sponsor, which, in his sole discretion, may cause the same to be held
or applied for the benefit of one or more of the dependents of such Participant
or make any other disposition of such interests that he deems appropriate.

     12. Unfunded Deferrals. Nothing in this Plan, including this Article VI,
         ------------------
shall be interpreted or construed to require the Sponsor or any Company in any
manner to fund any obligation to the Participants, terminated Participants or
beneficiaries hereunder. Nothing contained in this Plan nor any action taken
hereunder shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind, or a
fiduciary relationship between the Sponsor or any Company and the Participants,
terminated Participants, beneficiaries, or any other persons. Any funds which
may be accumulated in order to meet any obligation under this Plan shall for all
purposes continue to be a part of the general assets of the Sponsor or Company;
provided, however, that the Sponsor or Company may establish a trust to hold
funds intended to provide benefits hereunder to the extent the assets of such
trust become subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Sponsor or
Company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Sponsor or Company. To
the extent that any Participant, terminated Participant, or beneficiary acquires
a right to receive payments from the Sponsor or Company under this Plan, such
rights shall be no greater than the rights of any unsecured general creditor of
the Sponsor or Company.

                            TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
                            -------------------------

     A Participant must be actively employed by a Company on the next January 1
immediately following the Year for which a Plan Award is earned in order to be
entitled to payment of the full amount of any Award for that Year. In the event
the active employment of a Participant shall terminate or be terminated for any
reason before the next January 1 immediately following the Year for which a Plan
Award is earned, such Participant shall receive his or her Award for the year,
if any, in an amount that the Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor deems
appropriate.

        ------------------------------
shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or any other

participation in the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as
giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Sponsor or any
Company.

     3. Withholding. The Sponsor or Company (as applicable) shall have the right
        -----------
to deduct from all amounts paid in cash any taxes required by law to be withheld
with respect to such cash payments.
