may, in its sole discretion, make such amendment or adjustment.

     Section 9.     Amendments and Termination.  The Board of
Directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided,
however, that, except as set forth in Section 8, no such
amendment or termination shall materially and adversely impair
the rights of any Participant hereunder without the written
consent of Participants who, as of the time of such amendment or
termination, hold the right to receive at least 66% of the total
amounts which may then be payable pursuant to all of the
Participant Awards which remain outstanding at such time;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall limit or
restrict the discretionary powers granted to the Board of
Directors in Sections 1 through 8 hereof.

     Section 10.    Miscellaneous.

          (a)  No Right to Awards or Continued Employment.  No
Employee shall have any claim or right to be granted an award
under the Plan.  Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder
shall be construed as giving any Employee any right to be
retained in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate thereof.  Each Employee acknowledges that he or she is
an "at-will" employee of the Company.  Each Employee further
acknowledges that nothing contained herein shall alter such "at-
will" employment status.

          (b)  No Rights of a Stockholder.  The receipt of
Participant Awards by a Participant shall not entitle the
Participant to vote, to receive dividends or distributions, to
audit or review the Company's books and records, or to otherwise
act as a stockholder of the Company.

          (c)  Unfunded Plan.  The Company shall not be required
to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other
segregation of assets to assure the payment of any award under
the Plan.

          (d)  Taxes/Other Deductions.  The Company shall have
the right to deduct from all awards paid under the Plan any
federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld with
respect to such payments.  In addition, the Company shall have
the right to deduct from all awards paid under the Plan to a
Participant any amounts owed by such Participants to the
arbitrator pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(h).

          (e)  Relationship to Other Benefits.  No payment under
the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits
to which a Participant may be entitled under any bonus, pension,
profit sharing, group insurance or other compensation or benefit
plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any of its
affiliations.

          (f)  Nontransferability.  No award made hereunder may
be assigned, pledged or transferred, except, in the event of
death of a Participant, by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and any attempt to assign, pledge or transfer such
rights shall be void.  Any payments required under the Plan
during a Participant's lifetime shall be made only to the
Participant.  In the event any conflicting demands are made upon
the Company with respect to any payments due as a result of this
Plan, provided that the Company shall not have received prior
written notice that said conflicting demands have been finally
settled by court adjudication, arbitration, joint order or
otherwise, the Company may pay to the Participant any and all
amounts it determines to be due hereunder and thereupon the
Company shall be fully relieved and discharged of any further
duties or liabilities under the Plan with respect to such
payment.

          (g)  Governing Law/Jurisdiction.  This Plan shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of Illinois applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State (without regard to any
conflict of law provisions that might indicate the applicability
of any other laws).  SFC, the Company and each Participant who is

further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to
plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.
          (h)  Expenses.  The Company shall bear all expenses
incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan, but
shall not be responsible for taxes or other expenses incurred by
the Participants.

          (i)  Entire Agreement.  This Plan and the Exhibit A
applicable to each Participant set forth the entire agreement and
understanding of  the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof, and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements and
understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter
