          (a) The Plan will be administered by the Board or a Committee, if a

          Subject to Section 10 hereof, on each Anniversary of the Distribution
     during the term of the Plan, each Non-employee Director then serving on the

     Common

                                     Page 2
<PAGE>

     Shares, in consideration of such Non-employee Directors future services as
     a Non-employee Director. In the event that the number of Common Shares
     reserved for issuance pursuant to Section 3 hereof does not permit the full
     automatic grant specified in the preceding sentence to be made, the
     automatic grant to each Non-employee Director shall be proportionately
     reduced. No Non-employee Director shall be required to forfeit or otherwise
     return to the Company any Common Shares issued to him or her pursuant to
     the Plan notwithstanding any change in status of such Non-employee Director
     which renders him or her ineligible to continue as a Participant in the
     Plan.

7.   SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
     ------------------

          Non-employee Directors shall not be deemed for any purpose to be or
     have rights as shareholders of the Company with respect to any Common
     Shares except as and when such shares are issued and then only from the
     date that the Non-employee Director is entered into the register of members
     of the Company as the holder of such shares. Except as provided in Section
     8 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or
     other rights for which the record date precedes the date of such entry.

8.   ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
     ----------------------------------------

          If the Common Shares are sub-divided, consolidated or exchanged for a
     different number or kind of shares or other securities or if additional
     shares or new or different shares or other securities are distributed with
     respect to such Common Shares or other securities, through merger,
     consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the property of the
     Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
     dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, rights
     offering or other change in corporate structure, the maximum number of
     shares and/or the kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan may be
     appropriately adjusted by the Committee. Any determination by the Committee
     as to any such adjustment will be final, binding and conclusive. The
     maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan as a result of any such
     adjustment shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

9.   CONTINUATION OF DIRECTOR OR OTHER STATUS
     ----------------------------------------

          Nothing in the Plan or in any instrument executed pursuant to the Plan
     or any action taken pursuant to the Plan shall be construed as creating or
     constituting evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or
     implied, that the Company will retain a Non-employee Director as a director
     or in any other capacity for any period of time or at a particular retainer
     or other rate of compensation, as conferring upon any Non-employee Director
     any legal or other right to continue as a director or in any other
     capacity, or as limiting, interfering with or otherwise affecting the right
     of the Company to terminate a Non-employee

                                     Page 3

     Director at any time for any reason, with or without cause, and without
     regard to the effect that such termination might have upon him or her as a
     Participant in the Plan.

10.  COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
     --------------------------------------

          The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Shares pursuant
     to the Plan at any time unless and until all applicable requirements
     imposed by any federal and state securities and other foreign or local
     laws, rules and regulations or by any regulatory agencies have been fully
     met. As a condition precedent to any issuance of shares of Common Shares
     and delivery of certificates evidencing such shares pursuant to the Plan,
     the Board or the Committee may require a Participant to take any such
     action and to make any such covenants, agreements and representations as
     the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, in its discretion deems
     necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with such requirements. The
     Company shall in no event be obligated to register the Common Shares issued
     or issuable under the Plan pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as now
     or hereafter amended, or to qualify or register such shares under any
     securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction upon their issuance
     under the Plan or at any time thereafter, or to take any other action in
     order to cause the issuance and delivery of such shares under the Plan or
     any subsequent offer, sale or other transfer of such shares to comply with
     any such law, regulation or requirement. Participants are responsible for
     complying with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws,
     rules and regulations in connection with any offer, sale or other transfer
     of the Common Shares issued under the Plan or any interest therein
     including compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities
     Act of 1933, as amended (unless an exemption therefrom is available) or
     with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated thereunder, if available, or
     any successor provisions.

11.  NONTRANSFERABILITY OF RIGHTS
     ----------------------------

          No Participant shall have the right to assign or otherwise transfer
     the right to receive any Annual Share Retainer or any other right or
     interest under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, or to cause or permit any
     assignment, transfer, encumbrance, pledge or charge of any nature to be
     imposed on any such Annual Share Retainer or any such right or interest and
     any such purported assignment or transfer shall be void and of no force or
     effect.

12.  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
     ---------------------------------

          (a) The Board will have the power in its discretion, to amend, suspend
     or terminate the Plan at any time. No such amendment will, without approval
     of the shareholders of the Company:

          hereof).

          (b) No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan will, without
     the consent of the Participant, alter, terminate, impair or adversely
     affect any right or obligations under any Annual Share Retainer previously
     granted under the Plan to such Participant.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, without further
     action by the shareholders of the Company, amend the Plan or modify Annual
     Share Retainers under the Plan in response to changes in securities or
     other laws, or rules, regulations or regulatory interpretations thereof,
     applicable to the Plan or such Annual Share Retainers.
