Shares Available for Awards; Share Limits.

          Shares Available. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the capital
          stock that may be delivered under this Plan shall be shares of the
          Corporations authorized but unissued Common Stock and any shares of its
          Common Stock held as treasury shares. The shares may be delivered for any lawful
          consideration.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)     
          Share Limits. The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
          may be delivered pursuant to Awards granted
          under this Plan and which are required to be charged or reserved by provisions

          1,000,000 shares, plus in each calendar year, commencing in 2000, occurring
          during the term of this Plan, 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of the
          Corporations Common Stock as of December 31 of the preceding calendar

| | (c)     
          Share Reservation; Replenishment and Reissue of Unvested Awards. No Award
          may be granted under this Plan unless, on the date of grant, the sum of (i) the
          maximum number of shares issuable at any time pursuant to such Award, plus (ii)
          the number of shares that have previously been issued pursuant to Awards granted
          under this Plan, other than reacquired shares available for reissue consistent
          with any applicable legal limitations, plus (iii) the maximum number of shares
          that may be issued at any time after such date of grant pursuant to Awards that
          are outstanding on such date, does not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Limit.

          are not paid or delivered under this Plan, as well as reacquired shares, shall
          again, except to the extent prohibited by law, be available for subsequent
          Awards under the Plan. Except as limited by law, if an Award is or may be
          settled only in cash, such Award need not be counted against any of the limits
          under this Section 1.4.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1.5.
   Grant of Awards.

| | (a)     General. Subject to the express
provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall determine the number of shares of Common
Stock subject to each Award, the price (if any) to be paid for the shares or the Award
and, in the case of Performance Share Awards, in addition to matters addressed in Section
1.2(b), the specific objectives, goals and performance criteria (such as an increase in
sales, market value, earnings or book value over a base period, the years of service
before vesting, the relevant job classification or level of responsibility or other
factors) that further define the terms of the Performance Share Award. Each Award shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement signed on behalf of the Corporation and, if required by
the Committee, by the Participant. The Award Agreement shall set forth the material terms
and conditions of the Award established by the Committee consistent with the specific
provisions of this Plan. The Award Agreement may be executed on behalf of the Corporation
by a duly authorized officer by manual or facsimile signature.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)     Limitation on Grant Authority.
The Committee shall structure all Awards and the selection of Participants so as to
qualify this Plan as a broadly-based plan within the meaning of Section
312.03(a)(2) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1.6.
  Award Period.

Each Award and all
executory rights or obligations under the related Award Agreement shall expire on such
date (if any) as shall be determined by the Committee, but in the case of Options or other
rights to acquire Common Stock not later than ten (10) years after the Award Date.

Section 1.7.
   Limitations on Exercise and Vesting of Awards.

| | (a)     
          Provisions for Exercise. Unless the Committee otherwise expressly
          provides, no Award shall be exercisable or shall vest until at least six months
          after the initial Award Date, and once exercisable an Award shall remain
          exercisable until the expiration or earlier termination of the Award.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)     
          Procedure. Any exercisable Award shall be deemed to be exercised when the
          Secretary of the Corporation or his designee receives written notice of such
          exercise from the Participant, together with any required payment made in
          accordance with Section 2.2(a).
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)     
          Fractional Shares/Minimum Issue. Fractional share interests shall be
          disregarded, but may be accumulated. The Committee, however, may determine in
          the case of Eligible Persons that cash, other securities, or other property will
          be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional share interests. No fewer than
          100 shares may be purchased on exercise of any Award at one time unless the
          number purchased is the total number at the time available for purchase under
          the Award.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1.8.
   No Transferability; Limited Exception to Transfer Restrictions.

| | (a)     
          Limit on Exercise and Transfer. Unless otherwise expressly provided in
          (or pursuant to) this Section 1.8, by applicable law and by the Award Agreement,
          as the same may be amended, (i) all Awards are non-transferable and shall not be
          subject in any manner to sale, transfer, anticipation, alienation, assignment,
          pledge, encumbrance or charge; (ii) Awards shall be exercised only by the
          Participant; and (iii) amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an Award
          shall be delivered only to (or for the account of) the Participant.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)     
          Exceptions. The Committee may permit Awards to be exercised by and paid
          to certain persons or entities related to the Participant pursuant to such
          conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted transfer
          shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence
          satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax
          planning purposes or a gratuitous or donative basis and without consideration
          (other than nominal consideration).
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)     
          Further Exceptions to Limits On Transfer. The exercise and transfer
          restrictions in Section 1.8(a) shall not apply to:
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i)     transfers to the Corporation,
| | -------------------------------------

| | (ii)     
          the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the
          Participants death or, if the Participant has died, transfers to or
          exercise by the Participants beneficiary, or, in the absence of a validly
          designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and
          distribution,
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iii)     transfers pursuant to a QDRO order,
| | ---------------------------------------------

| | (iv)     
          if the Participant has suffered a disability, permitted transfers or exercises
          on behalf of the Participant by his or her legal representative, or
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (v)     
           the authorization by the Committee of cashless exercise procedures
          with third parties who provide financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise
          facilitate) the exercise of Awards consistent with applicable laws and the
          express authorization of the Committee.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Stock Awards shall
be subject to all applicable transfer restrictions under
the Code.

Section 1.9.
   Acceptance of Notes to Finance Exercise.

The Corporation may, with
the Committees approval, accept one or more notes from any Eligible Person in
connection with the exercise or receipt of any outstanding Award; provided that any such
note shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

| | (a)    
          The principal of the note shall not exceed the amount required to be paid to the
          Corporation upon the exercise or receipt of one or more Awards under the Plan
          and the note shall be delivered directly to the Corporation in consideration of
          such exercise or receipt.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)    
          The initial term of the note shall be determined by the Committee;
          provided that the term of the note, including extensions, shall not
          exceed a period of five years.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)    
          The note shall provide for full recourse to the Participant and shall bear
          interest at a rate determined by the Committee but not less than the interest
          rate necessary to avoid the imputation of interest under the Code.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d)    
          If the employment of the Participant terminates, the unpaid principal balance of
          the note shall become due and payable on the 10th business day after such
          termination; provided, however, that if a sale of such shares would cause such
          Participant to incur liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the
          unpaid balance shall become due and payable on the 10th business day after the
          first day on which a sale of such shares could have been made without incurring
          such liability assuming for these purposes that there are no other transactions
          (or deemed transactions in securities of this Corporation) by the Participant
          subsequent to such termination.

Subject to Section 1.4 and
the specific limitations on Awards contained in this Plan, the Committee from time to time
may authorize, generally or in specific cases only, for the benefit of any Eligible Person
any adjustment in the exercise or purchase price, the vesting schedule, the number of
shares subject to, the restrictions upon or the term of, an Award granted under this
Article by cancellation of an outstanding Award and a subsequent regranting of an Award,
by amendment, by substitution of an outstanding Award, by waiver or by other legally valid
means. Such amendment or other action may result among other changes in an exercise or
purchase price which is higher or lower than the exercise or purchase price of the
original Award or prior Award, provide for a greater or lesser number of shares subject to
the Award, or provide for a longer or shorter vesting or exercise period.

Section 2.6.

ARTICLE III.    STOCK
APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

Section 3.1.
   Grants.

In its discretion, the
Committee may grant a Stock Appreciation Right to any Eligible Person either concurrently
with the grant of another Award or in respect of an outstanding Award, in whole or in
part, or independently of any other Award.

Section 3.2.
  Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights.

| | (a)    
          Exercisability. Unless the Award Agreement or the Committee otherwise
          provides, a Stock Appreciation Right related to another Award shall be
          exercisable at such time or times, and to the extent, that the related Award
          shall be exercisable.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)    
          Effect on Available Shares. To the extent that a Stock Appreciation Right
          is exercised, the number of underlying shares of Common Stock theretofore
          subject to a related Award shall be charged against the maximum amount of Common
          Stock that may be delivered pursuant to Awards under this Plan. The number of
          shares subject to the Stock Appreciation Right and the related Option of the
          Participant shall be reduced by the number of underlying shares as to which the
          exercise related, unless the Award Agreement otherwise provides.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)    
          Stand-Alone SARs. A Stock Appreciation Right granted independently of any
          other Award shall be exercisable pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement
          but in no event earlier than six months after the Award Date, except in the case
          of death or Total Disability.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3.3.
   Payment.

| | (a)   
          Amount. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, upon exercise of a Stock
          Appreciation Right and the attendant surrender of an exercisable portion of any
          related Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount
          determined by multiplying
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i)     
          the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of Common
          Stock under the related Award (if applicable) or the initial share value
          specified in the Award from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on
          the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, by
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii)     
          the number of shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall
          have been exercised.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)     
          Form of Payment. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine
          the form in which payment shall be made of the amount determined under Section
          3.3(a) above, either solely in cash, solely in shares of Common Stock (valued at
          Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right), or
          partly in such shares and partly in cash, provided that the Committee shall have
          determined that such exercise and payment are consistent with applicable law. If
          the Committee permits the Participant to elect to receive cash or shares (or a
          combination thereof) on such exercise, any such election shall be subject to
          such conditions as the Committee may impose.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE IV.   
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

Section 4.1.
   Grants.

The Committee may, in its
discretion, grant one or more Restricted Stock Awards to any Eligible Person. Each
Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued to the Participant, the date of such issuance, the consideration for such shares
(but not less than the minimum lawful consideration under applicable state law) by the
Participant, the extent to which the Participant shall be entitled to dividends, voting
and other rights in respect of the shares prior to vesting and the restrictions imposed on
such shares and the conditions of release or lapse of such restrictions. Such restrictions
shall not lapse earlier than six months after the Award Date, except to the extent the
Committee may otherwise provide. Stock certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock
pending the lapse of the restrictions (restricted shares) shall bear a legend
making appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed hereunder and shall be held by
the Corporation or by a third party designated by the Committee until the restrictions on
such shares shall have lapsed and the shares shall have vested in accordance with the
provisions of the Award and Section 1.7. Upon issuance of the Restricted Stock Award, the
Participant may be required to provide such further assurance and documents as the
Committee may require to enforce the restrictions.

Section 4.2.
   Restrictions.

| | (a)    
          Pre-Vesting Restraints. Except as provided in Section 4.1 and 1.8,
          restricted shares comprising any Restricted Stock Award may not be sold,
          assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, either
          voluntarily or involuntarily, until the restrictions on such shares have lapsed
          and the shares have become vested.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)    
          Dividend and Voting Rights. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable
          Award Agreement, a Participant receiving a Restricted Stock Award shall be
          entitled to cash dividend and voting rights for all shares issued even though
          they are not vested, provided that such rights shall terminate immediately as to
          any restricted shares which cease to be eligible for vesting.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)    
          Cash Payments. If the Participant shall have paid or received cash
          (including any dividends) in connection with the Restricted Stock Award, the
          Award Agreement shall specify whether and to what extent such cash shall be
          returned (with or without an earnings factor) as to any restricted shares which
          cease to be eligible for vesting.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 4.3.
  Return to the Corporation.

Unless the Committee
otherwise expressly provides, restricted shares that remain subject to restrictions at the
time of termination of employment or are subject to other conditions to vesting that have
not been satisfied by the time specified in the applicable Award Agreement shall not vest
and shall be returned to the Corporation in such manner and on such terms as the Committee
shall therein provide.

ARTICLE V.   
 PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS AND STOCK BONUSES.

Section 5.1.
   Grants of Performance Share Awards.

The Committee may, in its
discretion, grant Performance Share Awards to Eligible Persons based upon such factors as
the Committee shall deem relevant in light of the specific type and terms of the award. An
Award Agreement shall specify the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (if any)
subject to the Performance Share Award, the consideration (but not less than the minimum
lawful consideration) to be paid for any such shares as may be issuable to the
Participant, the duration of the Award and the conditions upon which delivery of any
shares or cash to the Participant shall be based. The amount of cash or shares or other
property that may be deliverable pursuant to such Award shall be based upon the degree of
attainment over a specified period (a performance cycle) as may be established
by the Committee of such measure(s) of the performance of the Company (or any part
thereof) or the Participant as may be established by the Committee. The Committee may
provide for full or partial credit, prior to completion of such performance cycle or the
attainment of the performance achievement specified in the Award, in the event of the
Participants death, or Total Disability, a Change in Control Event or in such other
circumstances as the Committee consistent with Section 6.10(c)(2), if applicable, may
determine.

Section 5.2.
  Intentionally Deleted.

Section 5.3.
   Grants of Stock Bonuses.

The Committee may grant a
Stock Bonus to any Eligible Person to reward exceptional or special services,
contributions or achievements in the manner and on such terms and conditions (including
any restrictions on such shares) as determined from time to time by the Committee. The
number of shares so awarded shall be determined by the Committee. The Award may be granted
independently or in lieu of a cash bonus.

Section 5.4.
  Deferred Payments.

The Committee may
authorize for the benefit of any Eligible Person the deferral of any payment of cash or
shares that may become due or of cash otherwise payable under this Plan, and provide for
accredited benefits thereon based upon such deferment, at the election or at the request
of such Participant, subject to the other terms of this Plan. Such deferral shall be
subject to such further conditions, restrictions or requirements as the Committee may
impose, subject to any then vested rights of Participants.

ARTICLE VI.  OTHER
PROVISIONS.

Section 6.1.
  Rights of Eligible Persons, Participants and Beneficiaries.

| | (a)    
          Employment Status. Status as an Eligible Person shall not be construed as
          a commitment that any Award will be made under this Plan to an Eligible Person
          or to Eligible Persons generally.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)    
          No Employment Contract. Nothing contained in this Plan (or in any other
          documents related to this Plan or to any Award) shall confer upon any Eligible
          Person or other Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service
          of the Company or constitute any contract or agreement of employment or other
          service, nor shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to change
          such persons compensation or other benefits or to terminate the employment
          of such person, with or without cause, but nothing contained in this Plan or any
          document related hereto shall adversely affect any independent contractual right
          of such person without his or her consent thereto.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)    
          Plan Not Funded. Awards payable under this Plan shall be payable in
          shares or from the general assets of the Corporation, and no special or separate
          reserve, fund or deposit shall be made to assure payment of such Awards. No
          Participant, Beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest
          in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock, except
          as expressly otherwise provided) of the Company by reason of any Award
          hereunder. Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any related documents),
          nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the
          provisions of this Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any
          kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant,
          Beneficiary or other person. To the extent that a Participant, Beneficiary or
          other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to any Award
          hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
          general creditor of the Company.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.2.
  Adjustments; Acceleration.

| | (a)    
          Adjustments. If there shall occur any extraordinary dividend or other
          extraordinary distribution in respect of the Common Stock (whether in the form
          of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), or any
          reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the
          form of a stock dividend), reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
          combination, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of
          Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or there shall occur any
          other like corporate transaction or event in respect of the Common Stock or a
          sale of substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an entirety, then the
          Committee shall, in such manner and to such extent (if any) as it deems
          appropriate and equitable (1) proportionately adjust any or all of (i) the
          number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) which thereafter
          may be made the subject of Awards (including the specific numbers of shares set
          forth elsewhere in this Plan), (ii) the number, amount and type of shares of
          Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any or all outstanding
          Awards, (iii) the grant, purchase, or exercise price of any or all
          outstanding Awards, (iv) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon
          exercise of any outstanding Awards, or (v) the performance standards appropriate
          to any outstanding Awards, or (2) in the case of an extraordinary dividend or
          other distribution, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, reorganization,
          consolidation, combination, sale of assets, split up, exchange, or spin off,
          make provision for a cash payment or for the substitution or exchange of any or
          all outstanding Awards or the cash, securities or property deliverable to the
          holder of any or all outstanding Awards based upon the distribution or
          consideration payable to holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation upon or
          in respect of such event. In any of such events, the Committee may take such
          action sufficiently prior to such event if necessary to permit the Participant
          to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the underlying
          shares in the same manner as is available to stockholders generally.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)    
          Acceleration of Awards Upon Change in Control. As to any Participant,
          unless prior to a Change in Control Event the Committee determines that, upon
          its occurrence, there shall be no acceleration of benefits under Awards or
          determines that only certain or limited benefits under Awards shall be
          accelerated and the extent to which they shall be accelerated, and/or
          establishes a different time in respect of such Change in Control Event for such
          acceleration, then upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event (i) each
          Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall become immediately exercisable, (ii)
          Restricted Stock shall immediately vest free of restrictions, and (iii) each
          Performance Share Award shall become payable to the Participant; provided,
          however, that in no event shall any Award be accelerated as to any Section 16
          Person to a date less than six months after the Award Date of such Award. The
          Committee may override the limitations on acceleration in this Section 6.2(b) by
          express provision in the Award Agreement and may accord any Eligible Person a
          right to refuse any acceleration, whether pursuant to the Award Agreement or
          otherwise, in such circumstances as the Committee may approve. Any acceleration
          of Awards shall comply with applicable regulatory requirements, including
          without limitation Section 422 of the Code.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)    
          Possible Early Termination of Accelerated Awards. If any Option or other
          right to acquire Common Stock under this Plan has been fully accelerated as
          permitted by Section 6.2(b) but is not exercised prior to (i) a dissolution of
          the Corporation, or (ii) an event described in Section 6.2(a) that the
          Corporation does not survive, or (iii) the consummation of an event described in
          Section 6.2(a) that results in a Change in Control Event approved by the Board,
          such Option or right shall thereupon terminate, subject to any provision that
          has been expressly made by the Committee for the survival, substitution,
          exchange or other settlement of such Option or right.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.3.
  Effect of Termination of Employment.

The Committee shall
establish in respect of each Award granted to an Eligible Person the effect of a
termination of employment on the rights and benefits thereunder and in so doing may make
distinctions based upon the cause of termination. In addition, in the event of, or in
anticipation of, a termination of employment with the Company for any reason, other than
discharge for cause, the Committee may, in its discretion, increase the portion of the
Participants Award available to the Participant, or Participants Beneficiary
or Personal Representative, as the case may be, or, subject to the provisions of Section
1.6, extend the exercisability period upon such terms as the Committee shall determine and
expressly set forth in or by amendment to the Award Agreement.

Section 6.4.
  Compliance with Laws.

This Plan, the granting
and vesting of Awards under this Plan and the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of
Common Stock and/or the payment of money under this Plan or under Awards granted hereunder
are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and
regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities law and federal
margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental
authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable
in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such
restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the
Corporation, provide such assurances and representations to the Corporation as the
Corporation may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal
requirements.

Section 6.5.
  Tax Withholding.

Upon any exercise,
vesting, or payment of any Award, the Company shall have the
right at its option to (i) require the Participant (or Personal Representative or
Beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any taxes
which the Company may be required to withhold with respect to such Award event or payment
or (ii) deduct from any amount payable in cash the amount of any taxes which the Company
may be required to withhold with respect to such cash payment. In any case where a tax is
required to be withheld in connection with the delivery of shares of Common Stock under
this Plan, the Committee may in its sole discretion grant (either at the time of the Award
or thereafter) to the Participant the right to elect, pursuant to such rules and subject
to such conditions as the Committee may establish, to have the Corporation reduce the
number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of
shares valued at their then Fair Market Value, to satisfy such withholding obligation.

Section 6.6.
  Plan Amendment, Termination and Suspension.

| | (a)    
          Board Authorization. The Board may, at any time, terminate or, from time
          to time, amend, modify or suspend this Plan, in whole or in part. No Awards may
          be granted during any suspension of this Plan or after termination of this Plan,
          but the Committee shall retain jurisdiction as to Awards then outstanding in
          accordance with the terms of this Plan.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)    
          Stockholder Approval. Any amendment shall be subject to stockholder
          approval only to the extent then required
          by applicable law, or deemed necessary or advisable
          by the Board.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)    
          Amendments to Awards. Without limiting any other express authority of the
          Committee under but subject to the express limits of this Plan, the Committee by
          agreement or resolution may waive conditions of or limitations on Awards to
          Eligible Persons that the Committee in the prior exercise of its discretion has
          imposed, without the consent of a Participant, and may make other changes to the
          terms and conditions of Awards that do not affect in any manner materially
          adverse to the Participant, his or her rights and benefits under an Award.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d)    
          Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards. No amendment, suspension or
          termination of the Plan or change of or affecting any outstanding Award shall,
          without written consent of the Participant, affect in any manner materially
          adverse to the Participant any rights or benefits of the Participant or

Section 6.10.
  Governing Law/Construction/Severability.

| | (a)    
          Choice of Law. This Plan, the Awards, all documents evidencing Awards and
          all other related documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
          with the laws of the state of incorporation of the Corporation.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)    
          Severability. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent
          jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this
          Plan shall continue in effect.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)    
          Plan Construction.
           It is the intent of the Corporation that transactions in and
          affecting Awards in the case of Participants who are or may be subject to
          Section 16 of the Exchange Act satisfy any then applicable requirements of Rule
          16b-3 so that such persons (unless they otherwise agree) will be entitled to the
          benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the Exchange
          Act in respect of these transactions and will not be subjected to avoidable
          liability thereunder. If any provision of this Plan or of any Award would
          otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent expressed above, that provision
          to the extent possible shall be interpreted so as to avoid such conflict. If the
          conflict remains irreconcilable, the Committee may disregard the provision if it
          concludes that to do so furthers the interest of the Corporation and is
          consistent with the purposes of this Plan as to such persons in the
          circumstances.

and any Award hereunder, if an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary a termination of
employment and service shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to each Eligible
Person in respect of such Subsidiary who does not continue as an Eligible Person in
respect of another entity within the Company.

Section 6.13.
  Non-Exclusivity of Plan.

Nothing in this Plan shall
limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the Board or the Committee to grant awards or
authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Common Stock, under any
other plan or authority.
