VALUATION OF STOCK UNITS
------------------------

Fees: The number of units to be awarded to a director who elects to defer all or
part of his or her fees and/or stipends in stock units is determined as follows:

     The cash value of the fees  and/or  stipends  payable to the  director  are
     divided  by 85%  of the  Fair  Market  Value  (the  closing  price)  of the
     Company's  common stock on the last business day of the calendar quarter in
     which the fees or stipends were earned.

Dividends:  As of the date of any payment of a stock  dividend or stock split by
the Company,  a director's  Stock Unit Account will be credited with Stock Units
equal to the  number  of  shares of Common  Stock  (including  fractional  share
entitlements)  which are  payable by the Company  with  respect to the number of
shares (including  fractional share  entitlements)  equal to the number of Stock
Units credited to the director's  Stock Unit Account on the record date for such
stock  dividend  or  stock  split.  As of the  date of any  dividend  in cash or
property  or  other  distribution  payable  to  holders  of  Common  Stock,  the
director's  Stock Unit Account  shall be credited  with  additional  Stock Units
equal to the  number  of  shares of Common  Stock  (including  fractional  share
entitlements) that could have been purchased at the Fair Market Value as of such
payment  date with the amount  which  would have been  received as a dividend or
distribution on the number of shares (including  fractional share  entitlements)
equal to the Stock Units credited to the director's Stock Unit Account as of the
record date.

ELECTION RULES AND PROCEDURES
-----------------------------

Each director must elect by December 31 of the preceding year (or within 30 days
after the  individual  becomes a director,  in which case the election  shall be
effective  only with respect to amounts  that are earned for services  performed
after the date the election is delivered)  whether he or she will receive his or
her meeting  fees,  stipends,  and retainer in cash or stock units,  or an equal
combination  of  the  two  forms  of   compensation.   All  elections  made  are
irrevocable.

DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE
----------------------------------------

Upon termination of service as a director, a director's stock unit account shall
be paid out in the form of cash  (valuing  each  stock  unit at the Fair  Market
Value  (the  closing  price)  of a share of the  Company's  common  stock on the
termination  date) or Company common stock, at the election of the director (one
share of common stock shall be distributed for each stock unit in the director's
stock unit account).  Absent a valid election,  stock units shall be paid out in
common stock.
