5.  Grant of Deferred Stock Units
    -----------------------------

     5.1  Annual Grant.  The Corporation shall establish a bookkeeping
          ------------
account for each Eligible Director.  On the first business day following
the 1996 annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the bookkeeping
account of each Eligible Director shall automatically be credited with 500
Deferred Stock Units.  Thereafter, on the first business day following the
annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation held in each year
subsequent to 1996 and prior to the termination of the Plan, the
bookkeeping account of each Eligible Director shall automatically be
credited with 500 Deferred Stock Units.

    5.2  Terms and Conditions of Deferred Stock Units.
         --------------------------------------------

               (a)  VESTING.  The Deferred Stock Units shall become
nonforfeitable on the earliest to occur of (i) the first anniversary of the
Date of Grant, (ii) the Eligible Director's death, disability or
termination of service as a director upon completion of the last term of
office to which such director was elected, or (iii) the occurrence of a
Change of Control.  If an Eligible Director otherwise terminates service as
a Director, any Deferred Stock Units that are forfeitable shall be
forfeited as of the date of such termination of service.

               (b)  DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.  As of each dividend payment date
declared with respect to the Stock, the Corporation shall credit to each
bookkeeping account a number of additional Deferred Stock Units equal to
(i) the product of (x) the dividend per share of Stock payable on such
dividend payment date and (y) the number of Deferred Stock Units credited
to such account as of the applicable dividend record date divided by (ii)
the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on such dividend payment date.

               (c)  PAYMENT WITH RESPECT TO DEFERRED STOCK UNITS.  On the
February 1st immediately following the termination of service of an
Eligible Director the Eligible Director shall receive a lump sum cash
payment equal to the product of (i) the average of the Fair Market Value of
a share of Stock for the five business days immediately preceding such
February 1st and (ii) the number of nonforfeitable Deferred Stock Units
then credited to such Eligible Director's account.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, an Eligible Director may elect to receive the distribution with
respect to his or her account in a number of annual installments commencing
on the February 1st immediately following the termination of service of
such Eligible Director, the number of such annual installments to be
elected by the Eligible Director, but in no event to exceed four.  In the
event an Eligible Director makes such an election, the amount of each such
installment shall be determined based upon the average of the Fair Market
Value of a share of Stock for the five business days immediately preceding
the date such installment payment is made.  Any election by an Eligible
Director to receive


                                       5


distribution with respect to his or her account in annual installments and
with respect to the number of such installments may be made or changed at
any time without limitation provided, however, that any such election (and
any modification or revocation of any such election) shall not be given
effect unless made at least forty-five days prior to the Eligible
Director's termination of service.  Each Eligible Director whose
termination of service as a director occurs (i) after such Eligible
Director has been a member of the Board for at least five (5) years or (ii)
due to his for her death or disability shall also receive, at the time of
the lump sum payment pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.2(c)
or at the time of each annual installment pursuant to the second sentence
of this Section 5.2(c), an additional amount (the "Tax Liability Payment")
such that the net amount of the Tax Liability Payment retained by the
Eligible Director, after deduction of any federal, state and local income
tax upon the Tax Liability Payment, shall be equal to the total federal,
state and local income tax owed by the Eligible Director in respect of such
lump sum payment or installment, as the case may be.  For purposes of
determining the amount of each Tax Liability Payment, the Eligible Director
shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rate of
federal income taxation in the calendar year in which such Tax Liability
Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest
marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Eligible
Director's residence on the date on which the Tax Liability Payment is
made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be
obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes."

                   (d)  RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO DEFERRED STOCK UNITS.  The
holder of Deferred Stock Units shall have none of the rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation.  The Corporation's obligation hereunder
with respect to Deferred stock Units shall be an unsecured promise to pay
the amount described in Section 5(c) above at the times described therein.

6.  Effective Date; Term of Plan
    ----------------------------
     6.1  The Plan shall be effective as of May 22, 1996.

     6.2  The Plan shall remain in effect until all Deferred Stock Units
have been paid under the terms of the Plan, provided that no Deferred Stock
Units may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of
the Plan.

7.  Amendment; Termination
    ----------------------
     7.1  The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend,
suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that
                                                    --------  -------
 the provisions of Section 5 shall not be amended more than every six
months, other than to comport with

                                      6


changes in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, or the rules thereunder.  The
termination or any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without
the consent of a director, affect his or her rights under a grant of
Deferred Stock Units.

8.  Miscellaneous
    -------------
     8.1  Deferred Stock Units granted hereunder shall not be assignable or
transferable by the director except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.

     8.2  Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as conferring any right
 upon any director to continue as a member of the Board.

     8.3  The Plan and all rights hereunder shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

     8.4  TAX WITHHOLDING.  The Corporation shall have the right to
require, prior to any payment hereunder, payment by the holder of such
award of any federal, state, local or other taxes which may be required to
be withheld or paid in connection with such award.
