delivery  of  the  Stock Retainer specifying which one of the following ways the
Stock Retainer is to be delivered (a) on the date which is three years after the
Effective  Date  for  which it was originally payable (the "Third Anniversary"),
(b) on the date upon which the Participant ceases to be a Director or Consultant
for  any  reason (the "Departure Date") or (c) in five equal annual installments
commencing  on  the Departure Date (the "Third Anniversary" and "Departure Date"
each  being  referred  to  herein as a "Delivery Date").  Such Deferral Election
shall  remain  in effect for each Subsequent Year unless changed, provided that,
any  Deferral Election with respect to a particular Year may not be changed less
than six months prior to the beginning of such Year, and provided, further, that
no  more  than  one Deferral Election or change thereof may be made in any Year.


                                        2
<PAGE>
     Any Deferral Election and any change or revocation thereof shall be made by
delivering  written  notice  thereof  to  the Committee no later than six months
prior to the beginning of the Year in which it is to be effected; provided that,
with  respect to the Year beginning on the Effective Date, any Deferral Election
or  revocation  thereof must be delivered no later than the close of business on

     7.     Deferred  Stock  Accounts.  The  Company  shall  maintain a Deferred
            -------------------------
Stock  Account for each Participant who makes a Deferral Election to which shall
be  credited,  as  of  the  applicable Payment Time, the number of shares of the
Common  Stock  payable  pursuant  to  the  Stock  Retainer to which the Deferral
Election  relates.  So  long  as any amounts in such Deferred Stock Account have
not  been  delivered  to the Participant under Paragraph 8 hereof, each Deferred
Stock  Account shall be credited as of the payment date for any dividend paid or
other  distribution  made  with  respect  to  the Common Stock, with a number of
shares of the Common Stock equal to (a) the number of shares of the Common Stock
shown  in  such  Deferred  Stock Account on the record date for such dividend or
distribution  multiplied  by  (b)  the  Dividend Equivalent for such dividend or
distribution.

     8.     Delivery  of  Shares.
            --------------------

     (a)     The  shares  of  the Common Stock in a Participant's Deferred Stock
Account  with  respect  to  any Stock Retainer for which a Deferral Election has
been  made (together with dividends attributable to such shares credited to such
Deferred  Stock  Account) shall be delivered in accordance with this Paragraph 8
as  soon as practicable after the applicable Delivery Date.  Except with respect
to  a  Deferral  Election  pursuant  to  Paragraph  6 hereof, or other agreement
between  the parties, such shares shall be delivered at one time; provided that,
if  the  number  of shares so delivered includes a fractional share, such number
shall  be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares.  If the Participant has
in  effect  a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof, then such shares
shall  be  delivered  in five equal annual installments (together with dividends
attributable  to  such shares credited to such Deferred Stock Account), with the
first  such installment being delivered on the first anniversary of the Delivery
Date;  provided  that,  if  in  order  to equalize such installments, fractional
shares  would  have  to  be  delivered,  such  installments shall be adjusted by
rounding  to  the  nearest  whole share.  If any such shares are to be delivered
after  the  Participant  has  died  or become legally incompetent, they shall be
delivered  to the Participant's estate or legal guardian, as the case may be, in
accordance  with  the  foregoing;  provided that, if the Participant dies with a
Deferral  Election pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof in effect, the Committee shall
deliver  all  remaining  undelivered  shares  to  the  Participant's  estate
immediately.  References  to a Participant in this Plan shall be deemed to refer
to  the  Participant's  estate  or  legal  guardian,  where  appropriate.

     (b)     The  Company  may,  but  shall not be required to, create a grantor
trust  or  utilize an existing grantor trust (in either case, "Trust") to assist
it  in  accumulating  the  shares  of  the  Common  Stock  needed to fulfill its
obligations  under  this  Paragraph  8.  However,  Participants  shall  have  no
beneficial  or  other  interest  in  the Trust and the assets thereof, and their
rights  under this Plan shall be as general creditors of the Company, unaffected
by  the  existence or nonexistence of the Trust, except that deliveries of Stock
Retainers  to  Participants  from  the  Trust  shall,  to the extent thereof, be
treated  as  satisfying  the  Company's  obligations  under  this  Paragraph  8.

     9.     Share  Certificates;  Voting and Other Rights.  The certificates for
            ---------------------------------------------
shares  delivered to a Participant pursuant to Paragraph 8 above shall be issued
in the name of the Participant, and from and after the date of such issuance the
Participant shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder with respect to the
Common Stock for all such shares issued in his name, including the right to vote
the  shares,  and  the  Participant  shall  receive  all  dividends  and  other
distributions  paid  or  made  with  respect  thereto.

     10.     General  Restrictions.
             ---------------------

          (a)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or agreements
made pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate or certificates for shares of the Common Stock under this Plan prior
to  fulfillment  of  all  of  the  following  conditions:

               (i)     Listing  or  approval for listing upon official notice of
issuance  of  such  shares  on  the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or such other

                                        3
<PAGE>
               (ii)     Any  registration  or other qualification of such shares
under  any  state  or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of
any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, upon the
advice  of  counsel,  deem  necessary  or  advisable;  and

               (iii)     Obtaining  any  other consent, approval, or permit from
any  state  or  federal  governmental  agency  which  the Committee shall, after
receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.

          (b)     Nothing  contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company from
adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for the Participants.

     11.     Shares  Available.  Subject  to  Paragraph  12  below,  the maximum
             -----------------
number of shares of the Common Stock which may in the aggregate be paid as Stock
Retainers  pursuant  to  this  Plan  is  20,000,000.  Shares of the Common Stock
issuable  under  this  Plan  may be taken from treasury shares of the Company or
purchased  on the open market.  In the event that any outstanding Stock Retainer
under  this  Plan  for any reason expires or is terminated, the shares of Common
Stock  allocable  to  the  unexercised  portion  of  the Stock Retainer shall be
available  for  issuance  under  the  American Commerce Solutions, Inc. Employee
Stock  Incentive Plan for the Year 2004.  The Compensation Committee may, in its
discretion,  increase  the  number  of  shares available for issuance under this
Plan,  while  correspondingly  decreasing  the  number  of  shares available for
issuance under American Commerce Solutions, Inc.'s Employee Stock Incentive Plan
for  the  Year  2004.

     12.     Adjustments;  Change  of  Control.
             ---------------------------------

purchase  the  Common  Stock  at  a  price  below  its  Fair  Market  Value,
reclassification,  or  recapitalization, or a corporate transaction, such as any
merger,  consolidation,  separation,  including  a  spin-off, stock dividend, or
other  extraordinary  distribution  of  stock  or  property  of the Company, any
reorganization  (whether  or not such reorganization comes within the definition
of  such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation
of  the Company (each of the foregoing a "Transaction"), in each case other than
any  such  Transaction which constitutes a Change of Control (as defined below),
(i)  the  Deferred  Stock Accounts shall be credited with the amount and kind of
shares  or  other  property  which  would  have been received by a holder of the

such  Transaction,  (ii) the number and kind of shares or other property subject
to  this  Plan  shall  likewise  be  appropriately  adjusted  to  reflect  the

modification  by  the  Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all persons.

          (b)     If  the  shares  of  the Common Stock credited to the Deferred
Stock  Accounts  are  converted pursuant to Paragraph 12(a) into another form of
property,  references  in  this  Plan to the Common Stock shall be deemed, where
appropriate,  to  refer  to  such  other  form  of  property,  with  such  other
modifications as may be required for this Plan to operate in accordance with its
purposes.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the  foregoing, references to
delivery of certificates for shares of the Common Stock shall be deemed to refer
to delivery of cash and the incidents of ownership of any other property held in
the  Deferred  Stock  Accounts.

          (c)     In  lieu of the adjustment contemplated by Paragraph 12(a), in
the  event  of a Change of Control, the following shall occur on the date of the
Change  of Control (i) the shares of the Common Stock held in each Participant's
Deferred  Stock  Account  shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the
Change  of Control; (ii) the Company shall forthwith deliver to each Participant
who  has  a  Deferred Stock Account all of the shares of the Common Stock or any
other property held in such Participant's Deferred Stock Account; and (iii) this
Plan  shall  be  terminated.

election  contest  (as  such  terms  are  used  in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A
