                           the Plan; and

                  (vi)     To do such other acts as it deems necessary or
                           appropriate to administer the Plan in accordance 
                           with its terms, or as may be provided for or 
                           required by law.

         (c)      Committee Action. The certificate of a Committee member

                  authorized any action shall be conclusive in favor of any

                  majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a
                  quorum. The Committee shall act by majority approval of the
                  members and shall keep minutes of its meetings. Action of the
                  Committee may be taken without a meeting if unanimous written

                  meetings and of its actions by written consent shall be kept
                  with the corporate records of the Company.

         (d)      Exoneration of Committee Members. No member of the Committee
                  shall be liable for any action or determination made in good
                  faith with respect to the Plan or any Purchase Right granted

                  paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Company)
                  occasioned by any act or omission to act in connection with
                  the Plan, if such act or omission was not due to the gross
                  negligence or willful misconduct of the Committee member.

4.       Eligibility to Participate in Offerings.

         (a)      An Eligible Employee is entitled to participate in Offerings
                  in accordance with sections 5 and 6, beginning with the
                  Offering Date after an Employee first becomes an Eligible
                  Employee, subject to the limitations imposed by section 423 
                  of the Code.

         (b)      Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary:
                  (i) no Employee shall be granted a Purchase Right under the
                  Plan if immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any
                  other person whose stock ownership would be attributed to 
                  such Employee pursuant to section 424(d) of the Code) would 
                  own shares of Common Stock and/or hold outstanding options to
                  purchase shares of Common Stock possessing 5% or more of the
                  total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares
                  of the Company or of any Subsidiary; and (ii) the ability of
                  an Eligible Employee who is an Insider to participate in
                  Offerings under the Plan may be limited by the Committee to
                  the extent necessary to comply with Rule

                                        4
<PAGE>
                  16b-3 of the Exchange Act (17 CFR ss.240.16b-3).

5.       Offerings. Purchase Rights to purchase shares of Common Stock shall be
offered to Participants under the Plan through a continuous series of 
Offerings, each beginning on the first Business Day of a calendar year quarter 
(the "Offering Date"), and each Offering shall terminate on the last Business 
Day of a calendar year quarter corresponding to the Offering Date (the 
"Termination Date"). The Committee may designate that the first Offering under 
the Plan, however, have an Offering Date after the beginning of a calendar year
quarter.  Offerings under the Plan shall continue until either (a) the 
Committee decides, in its sole discretion, that no further Offerings shall be 
made because the Common Stock remaining available under the Plan is 
insufficient to make an Offering to all Eligible Employees, or (b) the Plan is 
terminated in accordance with section 17 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
Offerings will be limited under the Plan so that no Eligible Employee will be 
permitted to purchase shares of Common Stock under all "employee stock purchase
plans" (within the meaning of section 423 of the Code) of the Company and its 
Subsidiaries in excess of $25,000 of the Fair Market Value of such shares of 
Common Stock (determined at the time of an Offering Date) for each calendar 
year in which an Offering is outstanding at any time.

6.       Participation in Offerings.

         (a)      An Eligible Employee may participate in Offerings under the
                  Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing
                  payroll deductions on the form provided by the Company (the
                  "Participation Form") and filing the Participation Form with
                  the Company (pursuant to such standards or procedures as are
                  established by the Committee) at least 15 days before the
                  Offering Date of the first Offering in which such Employee
                  wishes to participate.

         (b)      Except as provided in section 7(a) below, payroll deductions
                  for a Participant shall begin with the first payroll 
                  following the applicable Offering Date, and shall continue 
                  until the Plan is terminated, subject to earlier termination
                  by the Participant as provided in section 11 below or 
                  increases or decreases by the Participant in the amount of 
                  payroll deductions as provided in section 7(c) below.

7.       Payroll Deductions.

         (a)      By completing and filing a Participation Form, an Eligible
                  Employee shall elect to have payroll deductions withheld from
                  his total Compensation on each paydate (including paydates
                  covering regular payroll, commissions and bonuses) during the
                  time he is a Participant in the Plan in such amount as he
                  shall designate on the Participation Form; provided, however,
                  that: (i) payroll deductions must be in such percentages or
                  whole dollar amounts, as determined by rules established by
                  the Committee which may change from time to time to provide
                  for the efficient administration of the Plan; (ii) the
                  Committee may
                                        5
<PAGE>
                  establish rules limiting the amount of an Eligible Employee's
                  Payroll Deductions, except that any percentage or dollar
                  limitation must apply uniformly to all Eligible Employees;
                  (iii) and each Participant's payroll deductions must be equal
                  to at least the minimum percentage or dollar amount
                  established by the Committee from time to time, but no more
                  than $21,250 (U.S.) per calendar year.

         (b)      All payroll deductions authorized by a Participant shall be
                  credited to an account established under the Plan for the
                  Participant. The funds represented by such account shall be
                  held as part of the Company's general assets, usable for any
                  corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to
                  segregate such funds. A Participant may not make any separate
                  cash payment or contribution to such account.

         (c)      No increases or decreases of the amount of payroll deductions
                  for a Participant may be made during an Offering. A
                  Participant may increase or decrease the amount of his payroll
                  deductions under the Plan for subsequent Offerings by
                  completing an amended Participation Form and filing it with
                  the Company (pursuant to such standards and procedures
                  established by the Committee) not less than 15 days prior to
                  the Offering Date as of which such increase or decrease is to
                  be effective.

         (d)      A Participant may discontinue his participation in the Plan 
                  at any time as provided in section 11 below, and subject to 
                  Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

8.       Grant of Purchase Rights. On each Offering Date, each Participant 
         shall be granted (by operation of the Plan) a right to purchase 
         (a "Purchase Right"), at the Purchase Right Price, as many shares of 
         Common Stock as he will be able to purchase with the payroll 
         deductions credited to his account during his participation in the 
         Offering beginning on such Offering Date. The maximum number of shares
         of Common Stock that an Employee may purchase under an Offering may 
         not exceed 500 (as may be adjusted from time to time under section
         13(b)), but subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan.

9.       Exercise of Purchase Rights.

         (a)      Unless a Participant gives written notice to the Company as
                  provided in subsection 9(c) below or withdraws from the Plan
                  pursuant to section 11 below, his Purchase Rights for shares
                  of Common Stock granted under an Offering will be exercised
                  automatically at the Termination Date of such Offering for 
                  the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock that the
                  accumulated payroll deductions in his account on such
                  Termination Date will purchase at the applicable Purchase
                  Right Price.

         (b)      No Participant (or any person claiming through such
                  Participant) shall have any

                                        6
<PAGE>
                  interest in any Common Stock subject to a Purchase Right 
                  under the Plan until such Purchase Right has been exercised, 
                  at which point such interest shall be limited to the interest
                  of a purchaser of the Common Stock purchased upon such 
                  exercise pending the delivery of such Common Stock in 
                  accordance with section 10 below. During his lifetime, a 
                  Participant's Purchase Rights for shares of Common Stock 
                  under the Plan is exercisable only by him.

         (c)      By written notice to the Company prior to the end of the
                  Business Day on a Termination Date corresponding to an
                  Offering, a Participant may elect, effective on such
                  Termination Date, to withdraw all of the accumulated payroll
                  deductions in his account as of the Termination Date (which
                  will also constitute a notice of termination and withdrawal
                  pursuant to section 11(a)). However, the preceding sentence
                  shall not apply to an Insider if the withdrawal would
                  constitute a "Discretionary Transaction" (within the meaning
                  of Rule 16b-3(b)(1)) that is not an exempt transaction under
                  Rule 16b-3(f).

10.      Delivery. As promptly as practicable after the Termination Date of 
         each Offering, the Company will issue or cause to be issued the shares
         of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of a Participant's Purchase 
         Rights granted for such offering, to a brokerage firm (designated by
         the Company) that has rights to execute trades on the New York Stock
         Exchange.

11.      Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.

         (a)      Except as provided in Section 9, a Participant may terminate
                  his participation in the Plan and withdraw all, but not less
                  than all, the payroll deductions credited to his account 
                  under the Plan at any time prior to the end of the Business 
                  Day on a Termination Date corresponding to an Offering, by 
                  giving written notice to the Company. Such notice shall state
                  that the Participant wishes to terminate his involvement in 
                  the Plan, specify a Termination Date and request the 
                  withdrawal of all of the Participant's payroll deductions 
                  held under the Plan. All of the Participant's payroll 
                  deductions credited to his account will be paid to him as 
                  soon as practicable after the Termination Date specified in 
                  the notice of termination and withdrawal (or, if no such date
                  is specified, as soon as practical after receipt of his 
                  notice of termination and withdrawal), and his Purchase 
                  Rights for such Offering will be automatically canceled, 
                  and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of 
                  shares of Common Stock will be made for such Offering or 
                  for any subsequent offering, except in accordance with a 
                  new Participation Form filed pursuant to section 6 above.

         (b)      Upon termination, or notice of termination, of a 
                  Participant's employment for any reason, including retirement
                  or death, any payroll deductions authorized under section 7
                  shall be cancelled immediately. Thereafter, any payroll

                                        7
<PAGE>
                  deductions that were previously accumulated in the
                  Participant's account prior to his termination or notice of
                  termination will be applied in accordance with the provisions
                  of Section 9. However, if a termination of employment
                  precludes an Employee from being classified as an Eligible
                  Employee with respect to an Offering, then the payroll
                  deductions accumulated in his account will be returned to him
                  as soon as practicable after such termination or, in the case
                  of his death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under
                  section 14 below, and his Purchase Rights will be
                  automatically canceled. For purposes of the Plan, the
                  termination date of employment shall be the Participant's 
                  last date of actual employment and shall not include any 
                  period during which such Participant receives any severance 
                  payments.  A transfer of employment between the Company and a
                  Designated Subsidiary or between one Designated Subsidiary 
                  and another Designated Subsidiary, or absence or leave 
                  approved by the Company, shall not be deemed a termination of
                  employment under this subsection 11(b).

         (c)      A Participant's termination and withdrawal pursuant to
                  subsection 11(a) above will not have any effect upon his
                  eligibility to participate in a subsequent Offering by
                  completing and filing a new Participation Form pursuant to
                  section 6 above or in any similar plan that may hereafter be
                  adopted by the Company; provided, however, that, unless
                  otherwise permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion,
                  an Insider may be precluded from reparticipating in the Plan
                  to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3.


12.      Interest. No interest shall accrue on a Participant' s payroll 
deductions under the Plan.

13.      Stock Subject to the Plan.

         (a)      The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be
                  reserved for sale under the Plan shall be 500,000 shares,
                  subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the
                  Company as provided in subsection (b) below. The shares to be
                  sold to Participants under the Plan may be, at the election 
                  of the Company, either treasury shares or shares authorized 
                  but unissued and may be derived from shares of Common Stock
                  purchased by the Company. If the total number of shares of
                  Common Stock that would otherwise be subject to Purchase
                  Rights granted pursuant to section 8 above on any Termination
                  Date exceeds the number of shares then available under the
                  Plan (after deduction of all shares for which Purchase Rights
                  have been exercised or are then outstanding), the Company
                  shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common 
                  Stock remaining available for issuance in as uniform and 
                  equitable a manner as is practicable. In such event, the 
                  Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the 
                  number of shares subject to Purchase Rights to each 
                  Participant affected thereby and shall return any excess 
                  funds accumulated in each

                                        8
<PAGE>
                  Participant's account as soon as practicable after the
                  Termination Date of such Offering.

         (b)      If any Purchase Right under the Plan is exercised after any
                  Common Stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, merger,
                  consolidation, combination or exchange of Common Stock or the
                  like, occurring after the shareholders of the Company approve
                  the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock to which such
                  Purchase Right shall be applicable and the Purchase Right
                  Price for such Common Stock shall be appropriately adjusted 
                  by the Company.

14.      Disposition Upon Death.

         (a)      If a Participant dies, shares of Common Stock and/or cash, if
                  any, attributable to the Participant's account under the Plan
                  (when cash or shares of Common Stock are held for his 
                  account) shall be delivered to the executor or administrator
                  of the estate of the Participant; or, if no such executor or
                  administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the
                  Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such
                  shares of Common Stock and/or cash to the spouse or to any 
                  one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant; or, 
                  if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company,
                  then to such other person as the Company may designate.

15.      Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a 
Participant's account nor any rights relating to the exercise of a Purchase 
Right or to receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, 
transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will,
the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in section 14 above) by 
the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other
disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act
as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with section 11(a) above.

16.      Share Transfer Restrictions.

         (a)      Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued under the Plan
                  unless such issuance is either registered under the 
                  Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or is 
                  exempt from such registrations.

         (b)      Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may not be sold,
                  assigned, transferred, pledged encumbered, or otherwise
                  disposed of (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) except
                  pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and
                  applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to exemptions
                  from such registrations.

         (c)      Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any
                  documents entered into pursuant to the Plan and except as
                  permitted by the Committee in its sole

                                        9
<PAGE>
                  discretion, any shares of Common Stock issued to a 
                  Participant who is an Insider may not be sold, assigned, 
                  transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of for
                  a six-month period until after the Purchase Right Price is 
                  determined on or after the Termination Date corresponding to 
                  the Offering with respect to which they were issued.

17.      Amendment or Termination. The Plan may be amended by the Committee 
from time to time to the extent that the Committee deems necessary or 
appropriate in light of, and consistent with, section 423 of the Code; 
provided, however, that any amendment that either changes the composition, 
function or duties of the Committee or modifies the terms and conditions 
pursuant to which Purchase Rights are granted hereunder must be approved by the
Board. The Board also may terminate the Plan or the granting of Purchase Rights
pursuant to the Plan at any time; provided, however, that the Board shall not
have the right to modify, cancel, or amend any outstanding Purchase Right 
granted pursuant to the Plan before such termination unless each Participant 
consents in writing to such modification, amendment or cancellation. The Plan 
shall terminate automatically if it is not approved by the shareholders of the 
Company, in accordance with Treas. Reg. ss.1.423-2(c), within 12 months of its 
adoption by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment adopted 
by either the Committee or the Board shall be effective, without approval of 
the shareholders of the Company, if shareholder approval of the amendment is 
then required pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor 
rule or section 423 of the Code.

18.      Notices. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the 
Company in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given 
when received by the Secretary of the Company or by any other person designated
by the Company for the receipt of such notices or other communications, in the
form and at the location specified by the Company.

19. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall be effective as of a date determined
by the Committee, but subject to the shareholder approval requirement, no later
than October 1, 1998. The Plan has been adopted by the Board subject to
shareholder approval, and prior to shareholder approval shares of Common Stock
issued under the Plan are subject to such approval.

20.      Miscellaneous.

         (a)      Headings and Gender. The headings to sections in the Plan 
                  have been included for convenience of reference only. The 
                  masculine pronoun shall include the feminine and the singular
                  the plural, whenever appropriate. Except as otherwise 
                  expressly indicated, all references to sections in the Plan 
                  shall be to sections of the Plan.

         (b)      Governing Law. The Plan shall be interpreted and construed in
                  accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware to
                  the extent that such laws are not

                                       10
<PAGE>
                  superseded by the laws of the United States of America.

         (c)      Plan Not A Contract of Employment. The Plan does not
                  constitute a contract of employment and participation in the
                  Plan does not give any Employee or Participant the right to 
                  be retained in the employ of the Company or a Designated
                  Subsidiary, nor give any person a right or claim to any
                  benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has
                  specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.
