       underlying Restricted Stock as soon as practicable, but
       not later than 30 days after the date as of which the
       restrictions lapse.  For this purpose, the market value
       of the underlying Restricted Stock shall be based on the
       higher of (i) the average of the high and low selling
       prices of the Company Stock on the date the restrictions
       lapse or the last trading day before the day the
       restrictions lapse if such date is not a trading day or
       (ii) the average of the high three monthly Fair Market
       Values of the Company Stock during the twelve calendar
       months preceding the month in which the restrictions
       lapse.  The monthly Fair Market Value of the Company
       Stock is the average of the daily Fair Market Value of
       the Stock for each trading day of the month.  The daily
       Fair Market Value of the Stock shall be deemed equal to
       the average of the high and low selling prices of the
       Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the
       Wall Street Journal.  Amounts deferred pursuant to
       Section 3(d), 3(e), and 3(f) will be credited to the
       Participant's Deferred Compensation Account as soon as
       practicable, but not later than 30 days after the cash
       payment would have been made had it not been deferred.
       Amounts deferred pursuant to other provisions of this
       plan shall be credited as soon as practicable but not
       later than 30 days after the date the Award would
       otherwise be payable.

  (b)  Designation of Investments.  The amount in each
       --------------------------
       Participant's Deferred Compensation Account shall be
       deemed to have been invested and reinvested from time to
       time, in such "eligible securities" as the Participant
       shall designate.  Prior to or in the absence of a
       Participant's designation, the Company shall designate an
       "eligible


                                12

<PAGE>



       security" in which the Participant's Deferred
       Compensation Account shall be deemed to have been
       invested until designation instructions are received from
       the Participant.  Eligible securities are those
       securities designated by the Treasurer of the Company.
       The Treasurer of the Company may include as eligible
       securities, stocks listed on a national securities
       exchange, and bonds, notes, debentures, corporate or
       governmental, either listed on a national securities
       exchange or for which price quotations are published in
       The Wall Street Journal and shares issued by investment
       companies commonly known as "mutual funds".  The
       Participant's Deferred Compensation Account will be
       adjusted to reflect the deemed gains, losses and earnings
       as though the amount deferred was actually invested and
       reinvested in the eligible securities for the
       Participant's Deferred Compensation Account.

       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section
       4(b), in the event the Company actually purchases or
       sells such securities in the quantities and at the times
       the securities are deemed to be purchased or sold for a
       Participant's Deferred Compensation Account, the Account
       shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the price
       actually paid or received by the Company for such
       securities after adjustment for all transaction expenses
       incurred (including without limitation brokerage fees and
       stock transfer taxes).

       In the case of any deemed purchase not actually made by
       the Company, the Deferred Compensation Account shall be
       charged with a dollar amount equal to the quantity and
       kind of securities deemed to have been purchased
       multiplied by the fair market value of such security on
       the date of reference and shall be credited with the
       quantity and kind of securities so deemed to have been
       purchased.  In the case of any deemed sale not actually
       made by the Company, the account shall be charged with
       the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been
       sold, and shall be credited with a dollar amount equal to
       the quantity and kind of securities deemed to have been
       sold multiplied by the fair market value of such security
       on the date of reference.  As used herein "fair market
       value" means in the case of a listed security the closing
       price on


                                13

<PAGE>



       the date of reference, or if there were no sales on such
       date, then the closing price on the nearest preceding day
       on which there were such sales, and in the case of an
       unlisted security the mean between the bid and asked
       prices on the date of reference, or if no such prices are
       available for such date, then the mean between the bid
       and asked prices to the nearest preceding day for which
       such prices are available.

       The Treasurer of the Company may also designate a Fund
       Manager to provide services which may include
       recordkeeping, Participant accounting, Participant
       communication, payment of installments to the
       Participant, tax reporting and any other services
       specified by the Company in agreement with the Fund
       Manager.

  (c)  Payments.  A Participant's Deferred Compensation Account
       --------
       shall be debited with respect to payments made from the
       account pursuant to this Plan as of the date such
       payments are made from the account.  The payment shall be
       made as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days,
       after the installment payment date.

       If any person to whom a payment is due hereunder is under
       legal disability as determined in the sole discretion of
       the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator shall have
       the power to cause the payment due such person to be made
       to such person's guardian or other legal representative
       for the person's benefit, and such payment shall
       constitute a full release and discharge of the Company,
       the Plan Administrator and any fiduciary of the Plan.

  (d)  Statements.  At least one time per year the Company or
       ----------
       the Company's designee will furnish each Participant a
       written statement setting forth the current balance in
       the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account, the
       amounts credited or debited to such account since the
       last statement and the payment schedule of deferred
       Awards and deemed gains, losses and earnings accrued
       thereon as provided by the deferred payment option
       selected by the Participant.

SECTION 5.  Payments from Deferred Compensation Accounts.

  (a)  Election of Method of Payment for an Incentive
       ----------------------------------------------

       Participant submits an indication of preference to defer
       all or any part of an Award under an Incentive
       Compensation Plan as provided in Section 3(a) above, the

       Section, shall apply to the deferred portion of said
       Award adjusted for any deemed gains, losses and earnings
       accrued thereon credited to the Participant's Deferred
       Compensation Account under this Plan.  Subject to
       Paragraphs (e), (g) and (h) of this Section, if the
       Committee or CEO, as appropriate, accepts the Potential
       Participant's indication of preference, the election of
       the method of payment of the amount deferred shall become
       irrevocable.

  (b)  Payment Options.  A Potential Participant may elect to

             specified by the Potential Participant, so long as
             such date is the first day of a calendar quarter,
             is on or after the Settlement Date, is at least one
             year from the date the

             the Potential Participant will attain the
             Participant's Normal Retirement Date under the
             terms of the Retirement Income Plan.

  (c)  Election of Method of Payment of the Value of Restricted
       --------------------------------------------------------
       Stock.  As provided in Section 3(b) above, a deferral of
       -----
       the value of all or part of the Restricted Stock will be
       considered payment option (b)(i) of this Section subject
       to Paragraphs (e) and (g) of this Section.

  (d)  Election of Method of Payment of a Lump Sum Distribution
       --------------------------------------------------------
       from Non-Qualified Retirement Plans.  At the time a
       -----------------------------------
       Potential Participant submits an indication of preference
       to defer all or part of the lump sum distribution as
       provided in Section 3(c) above, the Potential Participant
       shall also elect in a manner prescribed by the Plan
       Administrator which payment option shall apply to the
       deferred lump sum adjusted for any gains, losses and
       earnings to be accrued thereon credited to the
       Participant's Deferred Compensation Account under this
       Plan.  The payment options are annual installments of not
       less than 5 nor more than 10, semi-annual installments of
       not less than 10 nor more than 20, or quarterly
       installments of not less than 20 nor more than 40.  The

       long as such date is the first day of a calendar quarter
       and is at least one year from the date the payout option
       was elected.  Subject to Paragraph (g) of this Section,
       if the Committee or CEO, as appropriate, accepts the
       Potential Participant's indication of preference, the
       election of the method of payment of the amount deferred
       shall become irrevocable.

  (e)  Payment Option Revisions.  If a Section 5(b)(i) payment

       option applies to any part of the balance of a
       Participant's Deferred Compensation Account, the
       Participant may revise such payment option as follows:

             -------------------
             during a period beginning 365 days prior to and
             ending 90 days prior to the date the Participant
             Retires under the terms of the Retirement Income
             Plan, may, with respect to the total of all amounts
             subject to such payment option at the time of the
             Participant's retirement, in the manner prescribed
             by the Plan Administrator, revise such payment
             option and elect one of the payment options
             specified in (e)(iii) of this Section to apply to
             such total amount in place of such payment option.

       (ii)  Upon Layoff.  If a Participant who is eligible to

             Layoff and if there is not at least 120 days
             between the date the Participant is notified of
             Layoff and the Participant's termination date, the
             Participant may, within 30 days of being notified
             of Layoff, in the manner prescribed by the Plan
             Administrator, revise such payment option and elect
             one of the payment options specified in (e)(iii) of
             this Section to apply to such total amount in place
             of the such payment option.

       (iii) Payment Options After Revision.  If a Participant
             ------------------------------
             revises a Section 5(b)(i) payment option as

<PAGE>



       (iv)  Payment Option After Revision Exception.  If a
             ---------------------------------------

             option for amounts deferred prior to January 1,
             1994, the Participant may select payments in one
             lump sum or annual installments of not less than 5
             nor more than 20 in addition to the payment options

             Participant would be permitted under paragraph
             (e)(iii) of this Section.

  (f)  Installment Amount.  The amount of each installment shall
       ------------------
       be determined by dividing the balance in the
       Participant's Deferred Compensation Account as of the
       date the installment is to be paid, by the number of
       installments remaining to be paid (inclusive of the
       current installment).

  (g)  Death of Participant.  Upon the death of a Participant,
       --------------------
       the Participant's beneficiary or beneficiaries designated
       in accordance with Section 6, or in the absence of an
       effective beneficiary designation, the surviving spouse,
       surviving children (natural or adopted) in equal shares,
       or the Estate of the deceased Participant, in that order
       of priority, shall receive payments in accordance with
       the payment options selected by the Participant, whether
       death occurred before or after such payments have
       commenced; provided, however, such payments may be made
       in a different manner if the beneficiary or beneficiaries
       entitled to receive such payments, due to an
       unanticipated emergency caused by an event beyond the
       control of the beneficiary or beneficiaries that results
       in financial hardship to the beneficiary or
       beneficiaries, so requests and the CEO gives written
       consent to the method of payment requested.

  (h)  Termination of Employment.
       -------------------------
       In the event a Participant's employment with the Company
       or a Participating Subsidiary terminates for any reason
       other than death, retirement under the Retirement Income
       Plan, Disability, or by layoff during or after the year
       in which the Participant reaches age 50, the entire
       balance of the Participant's Deferred Compen-


                                18

<PAGE>



       sation Account shall be paid to the Participant in one
       lump sum as soon as practicable after the date the
       Participant terminates employment, provided however, the

       payments in the amounts and on such schedule as it may
       determine.

  (i)  Rehire of Participant

       specified in Section 3, if the Participant agrees to the
       suspension of payments from his/her Deferred Compensation
       Account during the period of reemployment by the Company.
       Upon termination of reemployment, such payments shall
       resume on the same schedule as was in effect at the time
       the Participant previously Retired or was Laid Off.

  Each Participant shall designate a beneficiary or
  beneficiaries to receive the entire balance of the
  Participant's Deferred Compensation Account by giving signed
  written notice of such designation to the Plan Administrator.
  The Participant may from time to time change or cancel any
  previous beneficiary designation in the same manner.  The last
  beneficiary designation received by the Plan Administrator
  shall be controlling over any prior designation and over any
  testamentary or other disposition.  After acceptance by the
  Plan Administrator of such written designation, it shall take
  effect as of the date on which it was signed by the Partici-
  pant, whether the Participant is living at the time of such
  receipt, but without prejudice to the Company or the CEO on
  account of any payment made under this Plan before receipt of
  such designation.


                                19

<PAGE>



SECTION 7.  Nonassignability

  The right of a Participant, or beneficiary, or other person
  who becomes entitled to receive payments under this Plan,
  shall not be assignable or subject to garnishment, attachment
  or any other legal process by the creditors of, or other
  claimants against, the Participant, beneficiary, or other such
  person.

SECTION 8.  Administration.

  The Chief Executive Officer may adopt such rules, regulations
  and forms as deemed desirable for administration of the Plan
  and shall have the discretionary authority to allocate
  responsibilities under the Plan to such other persons as may
  be designated, whether or not employee members of the Board of
  Directors, including the appointment of a person to be the
  Plan Administrator.  The decision of the Chief Executive
  Officer with respect to any questions arising as to the
  interpretation of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and
  binding; provided, however that all such decisions,
  interpretations and actions which affect or have the potential
  to affect the benefits hereunder of any person who is, at the
  time of such decision, interpretation or action, subject to
  the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be
  referred by the CEO to the Committee, which shall in such case
  have sole power to make such decision or interpretation or to
  take or cause to be taken such action.

SECTION 9.  Employment not Affected by Plan.

  Participation or nonparticipation in this Plan shall neither
  adversely affect any person's employment status, or confer any
  special rights on any person other than those expressly stated
  in the Plan. Participation in the Plan by an Employee of the
  Company or of a Participating Subsidiary shall not affect the
  Company's or the Participating Subsidiary's right to terminate

SECTION 10.  Determination of Recipients of Awards.

  The determination of those persons who are entitled to Awards
  under the Incentive Compensation Plan and any other such plans
  shall be governed solely by the terms and provisions of the
  applicable plan, and the selection of an Employee as a
  Potential Participant or the acceptance of an indication of
  preference to defer an Award hereunder shall not in any way
  entitle such Potential Participant to an Award.

SECTION 11.  Method of Providing Payments.

  (a)  Nonsegregation.  Amounts deferred pursuant to this Plan
       --------------
       and the crediting of amounts to a Participant's Deferred
       Compensation Account shall represent the Company's
       unfunded and unsecured promise to pay compensation in the
       future.  With respect to said amounts, the relationship
       of the Company and a Participant shall be that of debtor
       and general unsecured creditor.  While the Company may
       make investments for the purpose of measuring and meeting
       its obligations under this Plan such investments shall
       remain the sole property of the Company subject to claims
       of its creditors generally, and shall not be deemed to
       form or be included in any part of the Deferred
       Compensation Account.

  (b)  Funding.  It is the intention of the Company that this
       -------
       Plan shall be unfunded for federal tax purposes and for
       purposes of Title I of ERISA; provided, however, that the
       Company may establish a grantor trust to satisfy part or
       all of its Plan payment obligations so long as the Plan
       remains unfunded for federal tax purposes and for
       purposes of Title I of ERISA.


                                21

SECTION 12.  Amendment or Termination of Plan.

  The Company reserves the right to amend this Plan from time to
  time or to terminate the Plan entirely, provided, however,
  that no amendment may affect the balance in a Participant's
  account on the effective date of the amendment.  No
  Participant shall participate in a decision to amend or
  terminate this Plan.  In the event of termination of the Plan,
  the Chief Executive Officer, in his sole discretion, may elect
  to pay to the participant in one lump sum as soon as
  practicable after termination of the Plan, the balance then in
  the Participant's account.

SECTION 13.  Miscellaneous Provisions.

  (a)  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan shall be
       binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns,
       including but not limited to any corporation which may
       acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets
       and business or with or into which the Company may be
       consolidated or merged.

  (b)  This Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered
       in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma
       except to the extent that said laws have been preempted
       by the laws of the United States.
