         by the Company's then outstanding voting securities. For purposes of
         this Paragraph (iii), the term "person" shall have the same meaning as

                  if the Participant exceeds the original performance agreed to
                  in the EIBO. The incremental Completion Factor for an EIBO
                  shall be the product of the appropriate EBITDA Factor
                  multiplied by the appropriate Percent Factor, based on the
                  following table:

         (p)      "Performance Year" means a designated fiscal year of the
                  Company during which Company and individual performance will

7.       INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

         (a)      A Participant's Award shall be prorated based upon number of
                  months of service in a given Performance Year or if the

         (c)      No Award will be granted if the Company's overall performance
                  is below Threshold EVA or if a Participant's individual
                  performance is unsatisfactory, as determined by the Committee
                  in its sole discretion, upon the recommendation of the Chief
                  Executive Officer.

8.       FORM AND TIME OF PAYMENT

         (a)      An Award shall be paid to the Participant in cash, less

         (b)      If Banking applies to a Participant as shown on Schedule 1,
                  then 50% of the amount of the Award that is in excess of the
                  Award that would be computed if the EVA multiplier were 1,
                  shall be withheld from payment. Payment of the withheld Award
                  shall be made over the two years immediately subsequent to the
                  Performance Plan Year (50% of the withheld year in the first
                  subsequent year and 50% in the second subsequent year) if the
                  Company reaches the Threshold EVA in the subsequent years. If
                  the Company fails to achieve the Threshold EVA in the
                  subsequent two years, the withheld amounts are forfeited. Any
                  Banked Awards will be paid to a Participant upon the
                  occurrence of (i) the Participant's retirement from the
                  Company after reaching age 60; or (ii) a Change in Control of
                  the Company.
