hereunder upon the exercise of Options granted hereunder,
and the price at which Options may be exercised, as
appropriate, shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect

5.   GRANT OF OPTIONS
     ----------------
     5.1  ANNUAL GRANT.  On the first business day following
          ------------
the 1996 annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation,
each Eligible Director shall automatically be issued an
Option pursuant to the Plan to purchase 1,500 shares of
Stock.  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, each Eligible Director shall automatically be
issued an Option pursuant to the Plan to purchase 1,500
shares of Stock.  Options shall be granted at an option
price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the
Date of Grant.

     5.2 Terms and Conditions of Options.
         -------------------------------
               (a)  Each Option shall first become
exercisable 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 Options that have not
become exercisable shall be forfeited as of the date of such
termination of service.  Subject to the foregoing and to
Section 5.2(c) below, each Option shall expire on the date
that is ten years following the Date of Grant.

               (b)  Options shall be exercised by written
notice to the Secretary of the Corporation in such form as
is from time to time prescribed by the Committee and by the
payment in full, in cash, of the aggregate option price of
the shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised.
 To the extent that an Option is not exercised by an
optionee when it becomes initially exercisable, it shall not
expire but shall be carried forward and shall be exercisable
until the expiration date.  Partial exercise shall be
permitted from time to time, provided that exercises shall
be in multiples of one hundred shares of Stock.

               (c) If for any reason during the term of an
unexercised and unexpired Option, the Eligible Director
shall cease to be a member of the Board, such Option may be
exercised, to the extent exercisable at the time of such
termination of service, by the Eligible Director (or, in the
event of his death, by his estate) until the second
anniversary of the date that the Eligible Director ceases to
be a member of the Board.

                             5

6.   EFFECTIVE DATE; STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL; TERM OF PLAN
     --------------------------------------------------
     6.1 The Plan is subject to approval by the stockholders
of the Corporation at the 1996 annual meeting and shall be
effective on the date of such approval.

     6.2 The Plan shall remain in effect until all Options
granted under the Plan have been satisfied by the issuance
of shares, or terminated under the terms of the Plan,
provided that no Options 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 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 an Option.

8.   MISCELLANEOUS
     -------------
     8.1 Options granted hereunder shall not be assignable
or transferable by the director except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution.  During the life of the
director, an Option shall be exercisable only by the
director.

     8.2 Each Option shall be subject to the requirement
that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that the
listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject
to such Option upon any securities exchange or under any
state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
government regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or
purchase of shares thereunder, such shares shall not be
delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification,
consent, approval or other action shall have been effected
or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the
Committee.  The Corporation may require that certificates
evidencing shares of Stock delivered pursuant to any award
made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale,
transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is
prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.


                             6


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

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

     8.5 The Corporation shall have the right to require,
prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Stock
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.  The
holder may satisfy any such obligation by any of the
following means:  (A) a cash payment to the Corporation, (B)
delivery to the Corporation of shares of Stock having an
aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date the
obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection
with an award (the "Tax Date"), equal to the amount
necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (C) authorizing
the Corporation to withhold whole shares of Stock which
would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market
Value, determined as of the Tax Date equal to the amount
necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (D) a cash payment
by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Corporation to whom the
optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise, or
(E) any combination of the foregoing.  The Eligible Director
may elect to have shares of Stock delivered or withheld
having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the
minimum amount required to be withheld, but not in excess of
the amount determined by applying the holder's maximum
marginal tax rate.  Any fraction of a share of Stock which
would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be
disregarded and the remaining amount shall be paid in cash
by the holder.
