Equivalent Unit Plan" ("the Plan") for the Chairman and the President of the
Corporation. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interest of the
Corporation and its shareholders by strengthening its ability to retain

the loss of the tax deduction of such stock under Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 as amended from time to time. The Plan shall constitute an
unfunded "top-hat" arrangement under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Effective Date

The Plan was originally effective as of April 18, 1994. It was restated
effective as of April 17, 1995 and further amended on August 15, 1996. This
amended and restated version of the Plan is effective as of August 1, 1998,
unless specifically indicated in provisions throughout the Plan. The Plan shall
be in effect only for the Dividend Equivalent Units granted by the Committee at
its meetings on April 18, 1994 and April 17, 1995. No other Dividend Equivalent
Units shall be granted under this Plan.

rights under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty
by the Company or other entity or person that the assets of the Company will be
sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder.

Section 2.6 - Statement of Accounts

At least once annually, the Company shall furnish each Participant with a
written statement of his account setting forth the net income or loss of the

                                 DISTRIBUTIONS
                                        
Section 3. 1 - Timing of Distributions

In the event a Participant's employment is terminated for any reason, the
Participant will cease to be eligible for Plan participation and the accumulated
account balance will be distributed in a lump sum payment to the Participant as
soon as administratively feasible on or after January 1st coincident with or
next following the later of: (i) the Participant's termination of employment
from the Company or (ii) the date the Participant is no longer a statutory
director, an emeritus director, an advisory board member, or an honorary
director of the Company or a Related Company.

In the event a Participant's employment is terminated for reasons of Death or
Disability, the accumulated balance will be distributed in a lump sum payment to
his designated beneficiary as soon as administratively feasible following the
date of Death or termination of employment due to Disability.

Section 3.2 - Cash Payments: Determination of Amount

All distributions to Participants shall be made in the form of cash, with
exception of those portions of the Participant's account which are invested in
common stock of the Company and which can or must be distributed in kind as
provided in Schedule C. The amount to be distributed shall be determined based
on the fair market value of the balance eligible for distribution credited to
the Participant's account as of the

                                       3

close of business on last day of the calendar month immediately preceding
distribution or such later valuation date immediately preceding the date of
distribution if the accounts are valued more frequently than monthly (i.e.,
daily).

Section 3.5 - Vesting

Each Participant is immediately one hundred percent (100%) vested in all amounts
credited to his account and any earnings thereon.

Section 3.6 - Acceleration of Benefits for Unforeseeable Emergencies

The Company, with the approval of the Committee, may accelerate the payment of
any amounts eligible for distribution held in any Participant's account in the
case of unforeseeable emergencies. An "unforeseeable emergency" is a severe
financial hardship to the Participant or Beneficiary resulting from a sudden and
unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or dependent of the
Participant, loss of Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events
beyond the control of the Participant. The circumstances which will constitute a
"unforeseeable emergency" will depend upon the facts of each case, but in any
case, payment will not be made to the extent that such hardship is or may be
relieved: (a) Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;
(b) By liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of
such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardships; or (c) By
cessation of deferrals under the Plan. "Unforeseeable emergency" will not
include the need to send the Participant's child to college or the desire to
purchase a home. Any early distributions made under this Section 3.6 will only
be permitted to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency needs.

No distribution or payment shall be allowed hereunder unless, in the judgment of
the Company, the Committee or its appointees, such distribution or payment will
not constitute a Discretionary Transaction under Securities and Exchange
Commission Rule 16b-3 which will subject the Participant to potential liability
under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or jeopardize or make less likely the
ability to properly account for a transaction in which the Company is
participating and which the Company wishes to account for as a "pooling of
interests".

Section 3.7 - Withholding and Deductions

All benefit payments made under the Plan to any Participant or Beneficiary shall
be subject to allocable withholding and to such other deductions as shall at the
time of such payment be required under any income tax or other law, whether of
the United States or any other jurisdiction, and delivery to the Company of all
necessary documents. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold any
current taxes at the time of deferral, the deferral amount shall be reduced by
the required taxes. Determinations by the Company as to withholding shall be
binding on the Participant and applicable Beneficiary(ies).

Section 3.8 - Benefit Plans Treatment of Dividend Equivalent Payments as
Compensation.

Amounts paid under this Plan will not be considered compensation for purposes of
other Company qualified benefit plans unless specifically provided for in such
plans. The treatment of these amounts under any Company non-qualified benefit
plans will be determined according to the provisions of such plans.

Section 3.9 - Beneficiary Designation

Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any
benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his death before he receives any
or all of such benefit. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by
the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will
be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with, and
acknowledged by, the Committee during his lifetime. in the absence of any such
designation, or if for any reason such designation is ineffective, in whole or
in part, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to
the Participant's estate.

former spouse or Beneficiary of a Participant or any other person any right to
benefits under this Plan by virtue of Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of the
Internal Revenue Code (relating to qualified pre-retirement survivor annuities)
and qualified joint and survivor annuities) or Sections 401(a)(13)(B) and 414(p)
of the Internal Revenue Code (relating to qualified domestic relations orders)
as amended.

the Plan and for carrying out the provisions thereof. The Committee may, in its
discretion, appoint an employee or employees or an administrative committee in
writing to administer the provisions of this Plan. The decision of the Committee
with respect to any questions arising as to the administration or interpretation
of this Plan, including the discontinuance of any or all of the provisions
thereof, shall be final, conclusive, and binding. If the Plan is administered by
a committee, such committee may act by a majority of its members by vote at a
meeting or in writing without a meeting signed by all the members of the
committee.

Section 4.2 - Expenses

Any cost or expense of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company
and/or participating Related Companies. Notwithstanding the above, the Company
may charge each Participant's account with the amount of reasonable
administrative expenses it determines, in its sole discretion, for the cost of
administering this Plan. Any such charges shall reduce the earnings credited to
the Participant's account and shall be applied in a uniform and
nondiscriminatory manner.

necessary or desirable to effectuate the purposes of the Plan, including without
in any manner limiting the generality of the foregoing, records and information
with respect to deferral elections, Participant accounts, dates of employment
and termination and determinations made hereunder. To the extent that the
Company shall prescribe forms for use by the Participants and their
beneficiaries in communicating with the Company and shall establish periods
during which communications may be received, the Company shall be protected in
disregarding any notice or communication for which a form shall so have

                                       5

<PAGE>
 
been prescribed and which shall not be made in such form and any notice or
communication for the receipt of which a period shall so have been established
and which shall not be received during such period. The Company and the

other communication purporting to be signed by any person and reasonably
believed to be genuine and accurate, including the Participant's current mailing
address.

denied, benefits need not be made or commence until a final decision is reached

special circumstances involved and the time by which it expects to render a
decision.

If the Company determines that any benefits claimed should be denied, it shall
give notice to the claimant setting forth the specific reason or reasons for the
denial and provide a specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the
denial is based. The Company shall also describe any additional information
necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and explain why the information
is necessary. Such claimant shall be entitled to full and fair review by the
Committee of the denial.

Section 4.6 - Appeal and Review Procedure

If a claim has been denied by the Company, the claimant shall have sixty (60)
days after receipt of the denial in which to file a notice of appeal with the
Company. A final determination by the Committee shall be rendered within sixty
(60) days after receipt of the claimant's notice of appeal. Under special
circumstances such determination may be delayed for an additional period not to
exceed sixty (60) days, in which case the claimant shall be notified of the
delay prior to the close of the initial sixty (60) day period. The Committee's
final decision shall set forth the reasons and the references to the Plan
provisions on which it is based.

Section 4.7 - Facility of Payment

Whenever a person entitled under the Plan to receive any payment of a benefit,
or installment thereof, is under a legal disability or incapacity or is in any
way unable to manage his financial affairs, the Company may, in its discretion,
direct payments on behalf of such person to be made to the incapacitated
person's legal representative, custodian, relative, or other such individual(s)
as is (are) known by the Company to be assisting such person. Such decision by
the Company shall be made after consultation with those persons, if any, which
may include legal counsel and/or medical personnel, which the Company in his
sole discretion determines are necessary in order to make such decision. Any
payment of a benefit or installment thereof in

and conduct resulting from willful misconduct or lack of good faith.

behalf of the Company and any other employee, officer or director of the Company
against any claims, loss, damage, expense and liability, by insurance or
otherwise, reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with any action
or failure to act by reason of membership on the Committee or performance of an
authorized duty or responsibility for or on behalf of the Company pursuant to
the Plan unless the same is judicially determined to be the result of the
individual's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such indemnification by the
Company shall be made only to the extent such expense or liability is not
payable to or on behalf of such person under any liability insurance coverage.
The foregoing right to indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights
to which any such person may be entitled as a matter of law.
