related to contingent rents (such as those based on sales)) during the remaining
term of the lease included in such Sale-Leaseback Transaction (including any
period for which such lease has been extended). In the case of any lease which

shall be the lesser of the Attributable Debt determined assuming termination
upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the Attributable
Debt shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent shall be
considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date
upon which it may be so terminated) or the Attributable Debt determined assuming
no such termination.

                  Board of Directors. The Committee shall be comprised of at
                  least five members. Members of the Committee shall serve at
                  the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors
                  may from time to time remove members from, or add members to,
                  the Committee. A majority of the members of the Committee
                  shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and
                  the act of a majority of the members present at any meeting at
                  which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Committee.
                  Any one or more members of the Committee may participate in a
                  meeting by conference telephone or similar means where all
                  persons participating in the meeting can hear and speak to
                  each other, which participation shall constitute presence in
                  person at such meeting. Action approved in writing by a
                  majority of the members of the Committee then serving shall be
                  fully as effective as if the action had been taken by
                  unanimous vote at a meeting duly called and held. The Company
                  shall grant Stock Options under the Plan in accordance with
                  the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors,
                  which terms and conditions shall be set forth in grant
                  agreements and/or other instruments in such forms as the Board
                  of Directors shall approve.

         (b)      COMMITTEE POWERS. The Committee shall have full power and
                  authority to administer the Plan in accordance with its terms.
                  The powers of the Committee include, but are not limited to,

                  to receive Stock Options; (ii) construe and interpret the Plan
                  and all Stock Option grant agreements and make any

                  (iii) promulgate, amend and rescind rules and regulations
                  relating to the implementation, operation and administration
                  of the Plan; (iv) delegate to other persons the responsibility
                  for performing administrative or ministerial acts in
                  furtherance of the Plan; (v) engage the services of persons
                  and firms in furtherance of

         the Plan's activities; and (vi) make all other determinations and take
         all other actions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for
         the administration of the Plan.

         (c)      COMMITTEE'S DECISIONS FINAL. Any determination, decision or
                  action of the Committee in connection with the construction,
                  interpretation, administration or application of the Plan, and
                  of any Stock Option grant agreement, shall be final,
                  conclusive and binding upon all Grantees, and all persons
                  claiming through Grantees, affected thereby.

5.       STOCK OPTIONS.

         All Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be non-qualified options
         under the Code and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and
         conditions of Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 of the Plan and shall contain
         such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express
         provisions of the Plan, as the Committee and/or the Board of Directors
         shall determine.

6.       ELIGIBILITY.

         Any Employee may be granted a Stock Option. The Committee, subject to
         the approval of the Board of Directors, shall determine the Employees
         to whom Stock Options will be granted, the timing of such grants, and
         the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Stock Option
         granted.

7.       TERMS OF THE STOCK OPTIONS.

         (a)      OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The per share exercise price of each
                  Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be 100% of the Fair
                  Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the date of the
                  grant of such Stock Option.

         (b)      OPTION TERM. Each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall
                  have a term of ten years (subject to early termination in
                  accordance with the Plan or the Grant Agreement) and shall
                  expire (unless theretofore exercised or terminated in
                  accordance with the term of the Plan and/or the relevant grant
                  agreement) on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of
                  such Stock Option.

         (c)      EXERCISABILITY. A Stock Option shall be exercisable at such
                  time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as
                  shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the date of
                  grant. No Stock Option may be exercised unless the holder
                  thereof is at the time of such exercise an Employee and has
                  been continuously an Employee from the date such Stock Option
                  was granted through the date of the exercise of such Stock
                  Option, except that the Board of Directors may permit the
                  exercise of any Stock Option for any period following the
                  Grantee's termination of employment not in

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

         excess of the original term of the Stock Option on such terms and
         conditions as it shall deem appropriate and specify in the related
         grant agreement.

8.       METHOD OF EXERCISE. A Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or in
         part, by the Grantee (or his or her legal representative, if permitted
         by the Plan) giving written notice of exercise to the Company (or to an
         agent of the Company designated in writing to the Grantee), specifying
         the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall
         be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, plus any
         required withholding taxes, or by documents necessary to effect the
         simultaneous exercise of the Stock Option and the sale of the shares of
         Common Stock thereby acquired pursuant to a brokerage or similar
         arrangement approved in advance by the Committee and authorizing the
         use of the proceeds from such sale to pay to the Company the exercise
         price and withholding taxes.

9.       NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK OPTIONS. No Stock Option granted, and no
         right or interest therein, shall be (i) assignable, alienable or
         transferable by a Grantee, except by will or the laws of descent and
         distribution, or (ii) subject to any obligation, or the lien or claims
         of any creditor, of a Grantee, or (iii) subject to any lien,
         encumbrance or claim of any party made in respect of or through any
         Grantee, however arising. During the lifetime of a Grantee, the Stock
         Option shall be exercisable only by, and shares of Common Stock issued
         upon the exercise of Stock Options will be issued only to, the Grantee
         or his or her legal representative.

10.      AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board of Directors may at any time and
         from time to time amend the Plan. The Board of Directors may at any
         time terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no termination of the
         Plan shall affect Stock Options outstanding on the date of such
         termination.

11.      MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a)      WITHHOLDING TAXES. All Stock Options granted under the Plan
                  are made subject to any and all applicable withholding for
                  taxes of any kind. The Company shall have the right to deduct
                  from any delivery of shares of Common Stock to be made under
                  the Plan, all federal, state, city, local or foreign taxes of
                  any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such
                  payment and to take such other actions as may be necessary in
                  the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the
                  payment of such taxes. The Company shall have the right to
                  require a Grantee to pay cash to satisfy withholding taxes as
                  a condition to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
                  under the Plan.

         (b)      NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor
                  the grant of any Stock Option shall confer upon any Grantee,
                  any Employee or any other person any right to continued
                  employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company,
                  nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the
                  Company or any subsidiary of

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

                  the Company to terminate the employment of any Grantee, any
                  Employee or any other person at any time, with or without
                  cause.

         (c)      UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan shall be unfunded. Any liability of
                  the Company to any person with respect to any Stock Option
                  granted under the Plan shall be based solely upon any
                  contractual obligations that may be effected pursuant to the
                  Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be
                  secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any
                  property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         (d)      OTHER COMPANY BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. Any benefits
                  received by a Grantee under the Plan shall not be deemed a
                  part of such Grantee's regular, recurring compensation and
                  shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the
                  determination of benefits under any pension or other employee
                  benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company or
                  any of its subsidiaries. Payments and benefits provided to any
                  Employee under any other plan or agreement shall be governed
                  solely by the terms of such other plan or agreement.

         (e)      SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. In no event shall the Company be
                  obligated to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock if
                  such issuance or delivery shall constitute a violation of any
                  provision of any law or regulation of any government, any
                  governmental agency or authority, or any securities exchange.
                  No shares of common Stock shall be issued under the Plan
                  unless counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such
                  issuance will be in compliance with all applicable Federal and
                  state securities laws and regulations and all requirements of
                  any securities exchange on which shares of the Common Stock
                  are listed.

         (f)      GRANT AGREEMENTS. Each person receiving a Stock Option under
                  the Plan shall enter into a grant agreement with the Company
                  in the form specified by the Board of Directors.

         (g)      SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be
                  held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such
                  invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining
                  provisions of the Plan.

         (h)      GOVERNING LAW. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in
                  accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

                                      -6-
