Purpose

Long-term incentives serve to align, motivate and reward executives for their
contributions to the long-term financial success and growth of Itron, Inc.
("Itron" or the "Company"). The objectives for the Long-Term Performance Plan
(or "LTPP") are to:

o    Provide a greater long-term orientation and competitiveness to total
     compensation for Itron executives, by establishing a performance-based
     component, paid out in restricted stock unit awards for shares of Itron
     common stock ("RSUs");

o    Align individual executive rewards with shareholder value over a long-term
     period, based on the achievement of predetermined annual objectives whose
     achievement will be rewarded with RSUs to be vested after a three-year
     waiting period; and

o    Enable Itron to meet competitive total compensation needs in attracting and
     retaining critical executive talent.

Overview

The Long-Term Performance Plan provides performance share awards that are
contingent on the attainment of annual performance goals. The length of each
performance period will be one year, unless the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors provides otherwise. At the beginning of the performance
period, goals are established which are designed to measure the degree of
business success over the timeframe. The Compensation Committee reviews and
approves goals that are recommended by management. At the end of the period,
performance against the goals is assessed and payouts are determined.

Business results for Itron will be measured over the performance period. Payouts
will be in RSUs and, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise in
its sole discretion with respect to an award granted to a particular
participant, awards will vest at the end of a three-year period. This vesting
period will both serve as an executive retention tool and tie executive
performance to shareholder value.

Eligibility

Eligibility for the plan will include senior management and key executives who
impact organization-wide results. Actual participation will be based on
recommendation by the Chief Executive Officer and approval by the Compensation
Committee. Current plan participants are recapped in the attached Appendix I.
Other executives may be eligible for future awards, upon recommendation of the
Chief Executive Officer and approval by the Compensation Committee. The tier
structure set forth on Appendix I and Appendix II may be changed at the
recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and the approval of the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Participation in the Long-Term Performance Plan for a given period will not be
construed to confer a right to participate in the plan in any subsequent period,
or the right to continue in the Company's employment.

Award Opportunities

Award opportunities, denominated in units of Itron common stock, will be
established for each executive at the beginning of the performance period.
Target awards ("LTPP Target Awards") will be calculated as a percentage of base
salary that is in existence at the beginning of the performance period, with the
resulting dollar amount converted to a rounded number of units of Itron common
stock based on the fair market value (closing price) of Itron's common stock on
the first business day of the performance period. In addition, threshold and
maximum award levels will be established as a percent of the LTPP Target Award.
The number of RSUs to be awarded will increase or decrease as performances goes
beyond or falls short of the performance objectives for that performance period.

Annually, Itron establishes a budget for the coming year. Goals, financial and
otherwise, as established in the budget do not necessarily reflect the same
goals that will be used for the LTPP.

Performance Measurement

At the beginning of each performance period, the Chief Executive Officer will
recommend and communicate the specific range of performance objectives for the
Company to the Compensation Committee. The goals and the key performance factors
will be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee.

Performance Measures

Performance objectives will be set on the basis of corporate plans for the
following performance period, condition of the utility industry and competitive
performance in the market place. In the process of determining appropriate LTPP
goals, consideration will be given to proposed acquisitions, financing and other
major issues that could have material impact on the financial performance of the
Company. Typical performance measures may include but are not limited to:
Revenue Growth, Earnings Growth, Cash Flow, Return on Capital Employed, Net
Operating Profit after Tax, Normalized Earnings per Share or a combination of
measures.

Performance Weighting

Corporate performance will determine 100% of the award for some plan
participants. Performance for other organization levels, i.e. business unit,
product group, etc., may also be included.

Performance/Payout Relationship

A range of performance levels -- including threshold, target, and maximum -- and
associated payouts will be established at the beginning of the performance
period. As well, in any performance period performance hurdles could be
established. At the end of each performance period, Itron's actual performance
against the goals established for that performance period will be assessed and
the resulting payouts determined.

Payouts will be linearly interpolated for performance achievement between the
indicated levels. The Compensation Committee may use discretion to set threshold
levels and determine final award payouts.

Non-GAAP Results

In calculating performance attainment, Non-Gaap results will generally be used.
Non-GAAP results, as defined, will be GAAP numbers adjusted for IPR&D,
amortization of intangibles, restructuring charges and other extraordinary
events subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board.
Adjustments to GAAP for the purpose of Non-GAAP results will be discussed with
the Compensation Committee at the time of the event and confirmed by the
Compensation Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Payouts

Final payouts will be announced as soon after the end of the performance period
as practical, and be in the form of RSUs with a three-year cliff vesting period.
An RSU provides the right to receive one share of Itron common stock (at a
specified future date), subject to vesting restrictions. As RSUs vest,
participants receive stock certificates evidencing their ownership of shares.
Additionally, participants may elect to defer receipt of the RSU shares until a
future date (through the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, if available) in
order to defer federal income taxation.

New Participants

An employee hired into an eligible position during a performance period may
begin participation in the subsequent performance period or, at the
recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and approval by the Compensation
Committee, in the ongoing performance period. New participants permitted to join
an ongoing performance period will be eligible to receive a prorated payout
based on the number of full months worked during the performance period (rounded
down to the nearest whole number of RSUs). New participants in the plan will be
nominated by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Compensation
Committee.

Changes in Employment

Participants who terminate employment during a performance period for any reason
including termination for Cause (as defined in the Company's Amended and
Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan), voluntary termination, discharge by the
Company, death, disability, or retirement will forfeit their award payment for
that performance period.

Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise in its sole discretion
with respect to an award granted to a particular participant, participants who,
during a vesting period for RSUs issued in connection with a prior performance
period, terminate employment for any reason, except termination for Cause, will
vest in a pro-rata portion of their RSUs based on the number of full months
worked during the vesting period for the RSUs (rounded to down to the nearest
whole number of RSUs). Participants who are terminated for Cause will forfeit
their entire unvested award payment(s).

<PAGE>

Change-of-Control

All outstanding awards will be accelerated and paid out at maximum levels
immediately prior to a change-of-control of the Company and payout will be in
the form of fully vested shares of Itron common stock. In addition, any
outstanding unvested RSUs issued in connection with a prior performance period
will accelerate in full immediately prior to a change-of-control of the Company.
"Change-of-control" will be consistent with the language in the Company's
standard change of control agreements in effect at the time.

Tax Consequences

Participants will not be deemed to receive income at the time an award is
granted. Likewise, participants will not be deemed to receive income at the time
an award is paid in RSUs. However, participants will generally recognize taxable
ordinary income when unrestricted shares are received upon vesting of the RSUs
(or upon distribution if the RSUs have been deferred), in an amount equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the shares at such time over the amount, if
any, paid for the shares.

The Company will be entitled to a deduction at the same time and in the same
amount as a participant recognizes ordinary income, subject to certain
limitations on deductions for compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

This is only a brief summary of the U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations
that apply to an award under the plan. Participants should not rely on this
summary for a complete statement of such laws and regulations. The tax laws and
regulations are complex and are subject to legislative changes. In addition,
circumstances peculiar to certain individuals may change the usual income tax
results. FOR THESE REASONS, PARTICIPANTS SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR TO
DETERMINE THE INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN AWARD UNDER THE PLAN.

Governance

Senior management and the Compensation Committee will be responsible for the
administration and governance of the plan. The decisions of the Committee shall
be conclusive and binding on all participants.

Amendment, Modification, or Termination of the Plan

Itron, by action of its Board of Directors and/or Compensation Committee,
reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate the plan at any time.

                           (hh) "SAR" or "Stock Appreciation Right" means the
right, granted to a Grantee under Section 6(c), to be paid an amount measured by
the appreciation in the Fair Market Value of Stock from the date of grant to the
date of exercise of the right, with payment to be made in cash, Stock, or
property as specified in the Award or determined by the Committee.

                           (ii) "Subsidiary" means any entity in an unbroken
chain of entities beginning with the Company if, at the time of granting of an
Award, each of the entities (other than the last entity in the unbroken chain)
owns stock or other indicia of ownership possessing 50% or more of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock or other indicia of ownership in
one of the other entities in the chain.

                           (jj) "Unforeseeable Financial Emergency" shall mean a
severe financial hardship to the Grantee resulting from an illness or accident
of the Grantee, the Grantee's spouse, or a dependent (as defined in Section
152(a) of the Code) of the Grantee, loss of the Grantee's property due to
casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising
as a result of events beyond the control of the Grantee. Whether a Grantee has
an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency shall be determined in the sole discretion
of the Committee.

                  3. Administration.

                  The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.. The
Committee shall have the authority in its discretion, subject to and not
inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan (including the preceding
sentence), to administer the Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities
either specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in
the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to
grant Awards; to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which
Awards shall be granted; to determine the type and number of Awards to be
granted, the number of shares of Stock to which an Award may relate and the
terms, conditions, restrictions and performance criteria relating to any Award;
to certify as to the extent to which any performance criteria have been
attained; and to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances
an Award may be settled, canceled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered; to make
adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria and performance
objectives (if any) included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or
non-recurring events affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or the
financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or in
response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles;
to designate Affiliates; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award; to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to
determine the terms and provisions of the Award Agreements (which need not be
identical for each Grantee); and to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

                  The Committee may appoint a chairman and a secretary and may
make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem
advisable, and shall keep minutes of its meetings. All determinations of the
Committee shall be made by a majority of its members either present in person or
participating by conference telephone at a meeting or by written consent. All
decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final
and binding on all persons, including the Company, and any Subsidiary, Affiliate
or Grantee (or any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any
Grantee) and any stockholder. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its
members or to one or more agents such administrative duties as it may deem
advisable, and the Committee or any person to whom it has delegated duties as

                                                                               6
<PAGE>

aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any
responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. The
Committee may, upon such terms and conditions and with such limitations as it
deems appropriate, delegate to the Chief Executive Officer, any Committee of the
Board of Directors or the Executive Committee authority to make Awards (and
determine the terms of such Awards) to persons who are not officers of the
Company (assistant officers not being considered officers for such purpose);
provided that all such Awards shall be reported to the Committee and (except in
the case of such Awards made by a Committee of the Board) shall be revoked
unless ratified by the Committee.

                  No member of the Board or Committee shall be liable for any
action taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any
Award granted hereunder.

                  4. Eligibility.

                  Awards may be granted to selected employees and independent
contractors of the Company and its present or future Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, in the discretion of the Committee. In determining the persons to
whom Awards shall be granted and the type of any Award (including the number of
shares to be covered by such Award), the Committee shall take into account such
factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing
the purposes of the Plan. Awards to Non-Employee Directors shall be solely in
the form of NQSOs and Restricted Stock, which shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 8 and 9 of the Plan, and in Deferred Stock Awards pursuant to Section
6(h)(v) of the Plan.

                  5. Stock Subject to the Plan.

                  The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved for the grant
of Awards under the Plan shall be 14,700,000, subject to adjustment as provided
herein. Originally, 4,300,000 shares of Stock were reserved for the grant of
Awards under the Plan. After the July 1996 three-for-one stock split, this
increased to 12,900,000 and was further increased to 14,700,000 after amendments
to the Plan were approved by the Board on January 21, 2003 and by the
shareholders on April 17, 2003. In order to determine the number of shares of
Stock remaining available under the Plan after said stock split, each of the
following events occurring on or prior to the July 2, 1996 record date of the
stock split (or the July 23, 1996 distribution date in the case of Option
exercises) shall be deemed to involve three times the number of shares of Stock
that were actually involved: (x) grants, exercises and forfeitures of Options;
(y) grants, vesting and forfeitures of Restricted Stock (including performance
stock and Director's Restricted Stock); and (z) grants and forfeitures of
Deferred Stock Awards.

                  The shares reserved for Awards under the Plan may, in whole or
in part, be authorized but unissued shares or shares that shall have been or may
be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or
otherwise. If any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, canceled, exchanged
or surrendered or if an Award otherwise terminates or expires without a
distribution of shares to the Grantee, the shares of stock with respect to such
Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange,
surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the
Plan; provided that, in the case of forfeiture, cancellation, exchange or
surrender of shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units with respect
to which dividends or Dividend Equivalents have been paid or accrued, the number
of shares with respect to such Awards shall not be available for Awards

                                                                               7
<PAGE>

hereunder unless, in the case of shares with respect to which dividends or
Dividend Equivalents were accrued but unpaid, or in the case of shares with
respect to which a stock split in the form of a stock dividend was paid, such
dividends and Dividend Equivalents are also forfeited, canceled, exchanged or
surrendered. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other
Awards or Awards, such related Award or Awards shall be canceled to the extent
of the number of shares of Stock as to which the Award is exercised and,
notwithstanding the foregoing, such number of shares shall no longer be
available for Awards under the Plan.

                  In the event that the Committee shall determine that any
dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Stock, or other
property), recapitalization, Stock split, reverse split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, spinoff, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other
similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock such that an
adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the
rights of Grantees under the Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable
changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of (i)
the number and kind of shares of Stock which may thereafter be issued in
connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock issued or
issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price, grant
price, or purchase price relating to any Award; provided that, with respect to
ISOs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(h) of the
Code and; provided , further, that in the case of Awards under Sections 8 and 9,
equitable changes or adjustments of the types specified in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) above shall be made.

                  6. Specific Terms of Awards.

                           (a) General. The term of each Award shall be for such
period as may be determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan
and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate upon the grant, maturation, or exercise of an Award may
be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or
thereafter, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, or other property, and
may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred
basis. The Committee may make rules relating to installment or deferred payments
with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be credited with
respect to such payments. In addition to the foregoing, the Committee may impose
on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter, such
additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the
Plan, as the Committee shall determine. The authority given to the Committee
under this Section 6 is, however, subject to Section 6A of this Plan in the case
of Awards to Officers as defined in Section 6A.

                           (b) Options. The Committee is authorized to grant
Options to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

                                    (i) Type of Award. The Award Agreement
evidencing the grant of an Option under the Plan shall designate the Option as
an ISO or an NQSO, provided that an ISO may not be granted to independent
contractors or Non-Employee Directors.

                                    (ii) Exercise Price. The exercise price per
share of Stock purchasable under an Option shall be not less than the Fair
Market Value of a share on the date of the grant of such Option; provided that
in no event shall the exercise price for the purchase of shares be less than par

                                                                               8
<PAGE>

value. Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan to the contrary, once the
exercise price of any outstanding Option or in any Option granted in the future
has been determined, it may not be reduced except (i) in connection with
antidilution and other similar equitable adjustments approved by the Committee
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5 or (ii) with the consent of a
majority of a quorum of the stockholders of the Company. The exercise price for
Stock subject to an Option may be paid in cash or (if so permitted by the
Committee or if so provided in the Award Agreement) by an exchange of Stock
previously owned by the Grantee, or a combination of both, in an amount having a
combined value equal to such exercise price. A Grantee may also elect to pay all
or a portion of the aggregate exercise price by having shares of Stock with a
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price
(i) withheld by the Company, if so permitted by the Committee or so provided in
the Award Agreement, or (ii) sold by a broker-dealer under circumstances meeting
the requirements of 12 C.F.R. ss.220 or any successor thereof.

                                    (iii) Term and Exercisability of Options.
The date on which the Committee adopts a resolution expressly granting an Option
shall be considered the day on which such Option is granted, unless the
Committee shall determine that the Option shall be granted effective as of a
specified date in the future, in which case such specified future date shall be
considered the day on which such Option is granted. Options shall be exercisable
over the exercise period (which shall not exceed ten years from the date of
grant), at such times and upon such conditions as the Committee may determine,
as reflected in the Award Agreement; provided that, the Committee shall have the
authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such
time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate. An Option may be exercised to the extent of any or all full shares
of Stock as to which the Option has become exercisable, by giving written notice
of such exercise to the Committee or its designated agent.

                                    (iv) Termination of Employment, etc. An
Option may not be exercised unless the Grantee is then in the employ of, or then
maintains an independent contractor relationship with, the Company or a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate (or a company or a parent or subsidiary company of
such company issuing or assuming the Option in a transaction to which Section
424(a) of the Code applies), and unless the Grantee has remained continuously so
employed, or continuously maintained such relationship, since the date of grant
of the Option (or, in the case of a Grantee who on the date of grant was a
"prospective employee," since the date of first becoming an employee); provided
that, the Award Agreement may contain provisions extending the exercisability of
Options to a date not later than the expiration date of such Option.

                                    (v) Maximum Number of Shares. Options may
not be granted hereunder to any one person in any ten-year period in an amount
greater than fifteen (15%) percent of the total number of shares of Stock
originally available for grant of Awards under this Plan (i.e. not more than 15%
of 12,900,000 after giving effect to the stock split; and for purposes of
calculating this 15% figure, Options granted to any Grantee prior to July 23,
1996 shall be deemed to have been tripled).

                                    (vi) Other Provisions. Options may be
subject to such other conditions including, but not limited to, restrictions on
transferability of the shares acquired upon exercise of such Options, as the
Committee may prescribe in its discretion.

                                    (vii) Limitations on ISOs. No ISOs may be
awarded under this Plan after January 21, 2013. ISOs may be awarded only from

                                                                               9
<PAGE>

1,800,000 shares of Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to this Plan after
shareholder approval of the amendment to the Plan in April 2003.

                           (c) SARs and Limited SARs.  The Committee is
authorized to grant SARs and Limited SARs to Grantees on the following terms and
conditions:

                                    (i) In General. Unless the Committee
determines otherwise, an SAR or a Limited SAR (1) granted in tandem with an NQSO
may be granted at the time of grant of the related NQSO or at any time
thereafter or (2) granted in tandem with an ISO may only be granted at the time
of grant of the related ISO. An SAR or Limited SAR granted in tandem with an
Option shall be exercisable only to the extent the underlying Option is
exercisable.

                                    (ii) SARs. An SAR shall confer on the
Grantee a right to receive with respect to each share subject thereto, upon
exercise thereof, the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock
on the date of exercise over (2) the grant price of the SAR (which in the case
of an SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be equal to the exercise price
of the underlying Option, and which in the case of any other SAR shall be such
price as the Committee may determine, but which may not be less than the fair
market value as of the date of grant).

                                    (iii) Limited SARs. A Limited SAR shall
confer on the Grantee a right to receive with respect to each share subject
thereto, automatically upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, an amount
equal to the excess of (1) the Change in Control Price (or in the case of a
Limited SAR granted in tandem with an ISO, the Fair Market Value of one share on
the date of such Change in Control) over (2) the grant price of the Limited SAR
(which in the case of a Limited SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be
equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option, and which in the case of
any other Limited SAR shall be such price as the Committee determines, but which
may not be less than the fair market value as of the date of grant).

                           (d) Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to
grant Restricted Stock (which may be designated as "performance stock") to
Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

                                    (i) Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted
Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other
restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose at the date of grant or
thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such
times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the
Committee may determine. Except to the extent restricted under the Award
Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock, a Grantee granted Restricted Stock
shall have all of the rights of a stockholder including, without limitation, the
right to vote Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon.

                                    (ii) Forfeiture. Upon termination of
employment or termination of the independent contractor relationship during the
applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock and any accrued but unpaid
dividends or Dividend Equivalents that are at that time subject to restrictions
shall be forfeited; provided that, the Committee may provide, by rule or
regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case,
that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be
waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified
causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the
forfeiture of Restricted Stock.

                                                                              10
<PAGE>

                                    (iii) Certificates for Stock. Restricted
Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee
shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in
the name of the Grantee, such certificates shall bear an appropriate legend
referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such
Restricted Stock, and/or the Company shall retain physical possession of the
certificate.

                                    (iv) Dividends. Dividends paid on Restricted
Stock shall be either paid at the dividend payment date, or deferred for payment
to such date as determined by the Committee, in cash or in shares of
unrestricted Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such
dividends. Stock distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend,
and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions
and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect
to which such Stock or other property has been distributed.

                                    (v) Maximum Issuance. No more than an
aggregate of 250,000 shares of Stock may be awarded under this Plan after
February 1, 2003 under Sections 6(d), 6(e), 6(f) and 6(i) of this Plan.

                           (e) Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is
authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Grantees, subject to the following
terms and conditions:

                                    (i) Award and Restrictions. Delivery of
Stock or cash, as determined by the Committee, will occur upon expiration of the
deferral period specified for Restricted Stock Units by the Committee. In
addition, Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the
Committee may impose, at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may
lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier or later specified
times, separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the
Committee may determine.

                                    (ii) Forfeiture. Upon termination of
employment or termination of the independent contractor relationship during the
applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions
apply, or upon failure to satisfy any other conditions precedent to the delivery
of Stock or cash to which such Restricted Stock Units relate, all Restricted
Stock Units that are then subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited;
provided that, the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award
Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or
forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units will be waived in whole
or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the
Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of
Restricted Stock Units.

                                    (iii) Maximum Issuance. No more than an
aggregate of 250,000 shares of Stock may be awarded under this Plan after
February 1, 2003 under Sections 6(d), 6(e), 6(f) and 6(i) of this Plan.

                           (f) Stock Awards in Lieu of Cash Awards. The
Committee is authorized to grant Stock as a bonus, or to grant other Awards, in
lieu of Company commitments to pay cash under other plans or compensatory
arrangements. Stock or Awards granted hereunder shall have such other terms as
shall be determined by the Committee. No more than an aggregate of 250,000

                                                                              11
<PAGE>

shares of Stock may be awarded under this Plan after February 1, 2003 under
Sections 6(d), 6(e), 6(f) and 6(i) of this Plan.

                           (g) Dividend Equivalents and Interest Equivalents.
The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents and Interest
Equivalents to Grantees.

                                    (i) The Committee may provide, at the date
of grant or thereafter, that Dividend Equivalents and/or Interest Equivalents
shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been
reinvested in additional Stock or deferred cash, as the case may be, or other
investment vehicles as the Committee may specify, provided that Dividend
Equivalents or Interest Equivalents (other than freestanding Dividend
Equivalents or Interest Equivalents) shall be subject to all conditions and
restrictions of the underlying Awards to which they relate.

                                    (ii) Interest Equivalents shall be computed
at a market-based rate which, unless the Committee otherwise determines, shall
be compounded quarterly at an annual rate equal to the annual rate on the last
day of the calendar quarter of 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes plus 1% per annum.

                           (h) Deferred Stock Awards and Deferred Cash Awards.
The Committee is authorized to grant Deferred Stock Awards and Deferred Cash
Awards, including, but not limited to, Deferred Stock Awards in lieu of
directors retainer fees, subject to the following terms and conditions:

                                    (i) The Committee shall establish, in the
name of each Grantee receiving a Deferred Stock Award, a Common Stock Account to
which the Deferred Stock Award, and any Dividend Equivalents thereon (unless
paid currently in the discretion of the Committee), will be credited. The
Company shall not be under any obligation to acquire the Stock to pay a Deferred
Stock Award (or Dividend Equivalent) at any time prior to the date on which such
payment shall be due. The Committee shall establish, in the name of each Grantee
receiving a Deferred Cash Award, a Deferred Cash Account to which the Deferred
Cash Award, and any Interest Equivalents thereon (unless paid currently in the
discretion of the Committee), will be credited.

                                    (ii) The number of equivalent shares of
Stock credited to a Common Stock Account shall accrue Dividend Equivalents on
such shares, as if actual shares of Stock had been issued, from the date the
Deferred Stock is credited to the Common Stock Account to and including the date
on which the amount credited to the Common Stock Account is deemed to have been
paid. Such Dividend Equivalents will be credited to the Common Stock Account as
additional equivalent shares of Stock. In the case of a stock dividend, the
number of shares to be credited shall be the number of shares of stock that
would have been issued on the equivalent number of shares of Stock in the Common
Stock Account. In other cases, the number of equivalent shares (including
fractional shares) to be so credited will be determined by dividing the Dividend
Equivalents by the Fair Market Value of the Stock for the day on which the
related dividend is paid. If any dividend is paid on the Stock of the Company,
other than in cash or Stock, the Committee shall conclusively determine the Fair
Market Value in cash of such dividend.

                                                                              12
<PAGE>

                                    (iii) The amount of Deferred Cash credited
to a Deferred Cash Account shall accrue Interest Equivalents from the date the
Deferred Cash is credited to the Deferred Cash Account to and including the date
on which the amount credited to the Deferred Cash Account is deemed to have been
paid. Such Interest Equivalents will be credited to the Deferred Cash Account as
additional cash which shall, in turn, accrue further Interest Equivalents.
Interest Equivalents will be credited, as of the last day of each calendar
quarter on the average daily balance of deferred cash in said account during
said quarter. If any Deferred Cash is disbursed to a Grantee or a Beneficiary on
a date other than the last day of a calendar quarter, Interest Equivalents
(properly prorated for the partial quarter) shall be credited on the Deferred
Cash so disbursed for the partial calendar quarter, but shall be computed based
on the interest rate in effect on the business day next preceding the date of
disbursement.

                                    (iv) Payments from Common Stock and Deferred
Cash Accounts.

                                            A(1). Except as provided below, for
Awards granted on or before December 31, 2004, payment of the total amount
credited to a Grantee's Common Stock Account or Deferred Cash Account, as the
case may be, shall be made to him, or, in case of his death prior to the
commencement of payments on account of such total amount, to his Beneficiary, at
the Grantee's election made in accordance with the last two sentences of this
paragraph A(l) in sixty (60) quarterly installments or (ii) in five annual
installments or (iii) in a single lump sum, commencing the first day of the
calendar quarter, or as soon thereafter as practicable, following the date on
which he ceases, by reason of death or otherwise, to be an employee or a
director. The amount of each payment shall be the amount credited to such
account multiplied by a factor, the numerator of which is one (1) and the
denominator of which is the number of installments remaining to be paid. If the
aggregate number of shares credited to a Common Stock Account shall not be
divisible into whole shares by the applicable number of installments, each
installment except the last shall consist of the nearest number of whole shares
into which such aggregate number of shares shall be divisible by the applicable
number of installments. The last installment shall consist of the total amount
of whole shares of remaining Deferred Stock credited to such account and any
fractional share shall be paid in cash. The Secretary to the Committee shall
solicit an installment election from each recipient of a Deferred Stock Award or
a Deferred Cash Award who is not yet receiving distributions under this Section
6(h)(iv) by December 1, 2003. Persons who receive their first Deferred Stock or
Deferred Cash Award after that date shall make an installment election within
the thirty day period after they first receive such an Award. Any recipient of
such an Award may change his installment election up until the twelve month
period preceding the date of his termination or retirement as an employee or
director. Changes made during the twelve month period preceding termination or
retirement will be ignored.

                                            A(2). Except as provided below, for
Awards granted on or after January 1, 2005, payment of the total amount credited
to a Grantee's Common Stock Account or Deferred Cash Account, as the case may
be, shall be made to him, or, in case of his death prior to the commencement of
payments on account of such total amount, to his Beneficiary, at the Grantee's
election made in accordance with the terms of this paragraph A(2) in a single
lump sum payment, (ii) in five (5) annual installments, (iii) in ten (10) annual
installments and (iv) in fifteen (15) annual installments, commencing the first
day of the seventh (7th) calendar month, or as soon thereafter as practicable,
following the date on which he ceases, by reason of death or otherwise, to be an
employee or a director. The amount of each payment shall be the amount credited
to such account multiplied by a factor, the numerator of which is one (1) and

                                                                              13

the denominator of which is the number of installments remaining to be paid. If
the aggregate number of shares credited to a Common Stock Account shall not be
divisible into whole shares by the applicable number of installments, each
installment except the last shall consist of the nearest number of whole shares
into which such aggregate number of shares shall be divisible by the applicable
number of installments. The last installment shall consist of the total amount
of whole shares of remaining Deferred Stock credited to such account and any
fractional share shall be paid in cash. Persons who receive their first Deferred
Stock or Deferred Cash Award shall make a one time payment election prior to the
receipt of such Award and this payment election shall apply to all future
Deferred Stock and Cash Awards under the Plan. If the Grantee fails to make a
payment election, the respective Award will be paid in five (5) annual
installments. Any recipient of such an Award may change his payment election up
until the day that is six (6) months before the date of his termination or
retirement as an employee or director, provided however, any change in
installment payment will result in the commencement date of the payments being
delayed for a period of five (5) years. Any changes made during the six (6)
month period preceding termination or retirement will be ignored.

                                            B. In case of the death of an
employee after the commencement of payments to him in respect of his Common
Stock Account or Deferred Cash Account, as the case may be, the then remaining
unpaid portion thereof shall continue to be paid in installments, at such times
and in such manner as if he were living, to his Beneficiary.

                                            C. For Awards granted on or before
December 31, 2004, with respect to the total amount in a Common Stock Account or
Deferred Cash Account, as the case may be, or the then remaining unpaid portion
thereof, which shall be payable to any person who shall no longer be an employee
of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or to the Beneficiary of
any such person, the Committee shall possess absolute discretion to accelerate
the time of payment of such total amount or remaining unpaid portion, in whole
or in part, as the case may be. In addition and for Awards granted on or before
December 31, 2004, the Committee shall possess absolute discretion to accelerate
to any extent such total amount or remaining unpaid portion, even while a person
remains an employee, if there occurs financial hardship or any other event which
the Committee deems, in its absolute discretion, to constitute an extraordinary
circumstance. As it relates to Awards granted on or after January 1, 2005, the
Committee shall possess absolute discretion to accelerate to any extent such
total amount or remaining unpaid portion, even while a person remains an
employee, only if there occurs an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency.

                                    (v) By notice to the Committee at least 15
days in advance of the commencement of any calendar period with respect to which
directors' retainer fees are paid, as long as the Committee approves such
election at its next regularly scheduled meeting, any Non-Employee Director of
the Company may elect to receive Deferred Stock Awards in lieu of retainer fees
for serving on the Board. The amount of each such Deferred Stock Award shall be
determined by dividing the amount of the fee that would have been paid but for
the election by such director to receive a Deferred Stock Award by the Fair
Market Value of a share of Stock on the last day of the period with respect to
which such retainer would have been paid and rounding the result to the nearest
whole share. Any election by a director pursuant to this provision shall remain
in place until the commencement of the annual retainer period after such
director gives notice to the Committee that he or she elects to receive future
retainer fees in cash.

                           (i) Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards. The Committee
is authorized to grant to Grantees Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based

                                                                              14

Awards as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan or in
addition to, or in lieu of, any other Award under the Plan, as deemed by the
Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such Awards may be
granted with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any
other factors designated by the Committee, or valued by reference to the
performance of specified Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, other Cash Based Awards may be granted as annual
bonus, as multi-year performance cash awards, or otherwise. The Committee shall
determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at the date of grant or
thereafter. No more than an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Stock may be awarded
under this Plan after February 1, 2003 under Sections 6(d), 6(e), 6(f) and 6(i)
of this Plan.

                  6A. Special Restrictions on Awards to Officers.

Subject to Sections 6A(h) and 6A(j), this Section 6A applies to all Awards to
"Officers"; provided that this Section 6A applies to Options, SARs and Limited
SARs only to the extent specifically stated in this Section. For purposes of
this Section 6A, an "Officer" is any employee who would be treated at the time
an Award is granted as an officer of the Company pursuant to the executive
compensation disclosure rules under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the provisions of the Plan disregarded under Section 6A(a) below
shall be reinstated and fully applicable to all Awards granted to Officers
pursuant to this Section 6A to the extent that, as of the end of the calendar
year following the year in which the Award is granted, they are not "covered
employees" within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.

                                    (a) Intent. Awards subject to this Section
6A are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
This Section 6A shall be interpreted consistently with such intent and any
provisions of the Plan inconsistent therewith shall not apply to any Awards
subject to this Section 6A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Committee shall have no discretion to increase the value of any Awards
subject to this Section 6A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards granted
hereunder shall be subject to such other provisions of the Plan (as modified by
this Section 6A) as may be determined by the Committee.

                                    (b) Maximum Awards. The maximum Awards
(other than Options, SARs and Limited SARs) that may be granted to any Officer
pursuant to this Section 6A on account of any calendar year shall not exceed the
greater of (i) five hundred percent (500%) of the Officer's base salary for that
year or (ii) $5,000,000. Awards shall be considered to be on account of the
calendar year in which the relevant performance periods terminate. Awards
granted pursuant to Section 6A(h) shall not be taken into account in applying
the foregoing limit. The maximum number of shares of Stock subject to an Option,
SAR or Limited SAR that may be granted hereunder to an Officer during any
ten-year period is set forth in Section 6(b)(v).

                                    (c) Designation of Performance Goals. The
Committee shall establish specific objective targets, schedules, thresholds or
goals ("Performance Goals") for each Award subject to this Section 6A; provided
that, at the time of the grant of any Award, the achievement of the Performance
Goal shall be substantially uncertain. The Performance Goals designated by the
Committee shall be determined based upon one or more of the business criteria
set forth in Exhibit A hereto ("Performance Measures"). To the extent
applicable, the Committee may specify a Performance Measure in relation to total

                                                                              15
<PAGE>

Company performance or in relation to the performance of identifiable business
unit(s) of the Company. A Performance Goal may be expressed in any form as the
Committee may determine including, but not limited to: (1) percentage growth,
(2) absolute growth, (3) cumulative growth, (4) performance in relation to an
index, (5) performance in relation to peer company performance, (6) a designated
absolute amount and (7) per share of Stock outstanding. The Performance Goals so
established may exclude the effects of certain events or categories of events
specifically identified by the Committee. Nothing shall preclude the Committee
from designating different Performance Measures and Performance Goals for Awards
granted to different Officers in the same performance period.

                                    (d) Determination of Awards. The Committee
shall have discretion to structure the types of Awards granted to Officers. Such
Awards may be either Awards having a performance period of one year or less
(such as, for example, an annual bonus plan providing for a cash or a Stock
bonus) or Awards which vest over longer periods (such as, for example, a
Performance Stock Award or Performance Cash Award which might vest after a
period of two or more years). No later than 90 days after the commencement of a
performance period (but, in any event, within the first 25% of such performance
period, if earlier), the Committee shall designate or approve as to the Awards
relating to such period, (i) the Officers who will be Grantees, if any, (ii) the
types of Awards (which will be selected from the types of Awards permitted under
Section 6), (iii) the Performance Measures applicable to each Award, (iv) if
there is more than one Performance Measure applicable to a single Award, the
weighting, or other role, of the Performance Measures in determining the Award,
(v) the Performance Goals and payout matrix or formula for each Performance
Measure, (vi) the performance period or periods, (vii) the target Award or
Awards for each Grantee, (viii) the extent to which, and the circumstances under
which, the Award may pay out at greater than, or less than, target levels, and
(ix) to the extent required under Code Section 162(m), the maximum dollar amount
a Grantee may earn with respect to a performance period.

                                    (e) Payment of Awards. Subject to Section 7
of the Plan ("Change in Control Provisions"), an Award subject to this Section
6A shall vest only to the extent that the applicable Performance Goal or Goals,
if any, have been attained. As a condition to the vesting of any Award, the
Committee shall first certify, by resolution of the Committee, that the
applicable Performance Goal or Goals have been attained and the other applicable
Plan provisions have been satisfied. Following the end of a performance period,
the Committee shall determine the amount of each Award that vests for each
Grantee by:

                                    (1) comparing actual performance for each
                           Performance Measure against the payout matrix
                           approved for such period,

                                    (2) multiplying the payout percentage from
                           the payout matrix for each Performance Measure by the
                           appropriate weighting factor, if applicable, and

                                    (3) summing the applicable weighted payout
                           percentages and multiplying their overall payout
                           percentage by the Grantee's Award

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary (but provided
that the right to do so is specifically retained in the applicable Award
Agreement), the Committee in its sole discretion may reduce any Award to any
Grantee to any amount, including zero, prior to the certification by resolution
of the Committee of the amount of such Award. The amount of an Award that vests

                                                                              16
<PAGE>

for a calendar year or other performance period shall be determined as soon as
practicable after such period and shall be paid no later than 75 days following
the end of such year or other period.

                                    (f) Grants of Options and SARs. The
Committee may grant Options, SARs and Limited SARs the vesting of which is not
contingent upon the attainment of any Performance Goal or Goals. Except as
provided in Section 6A(h), but subject to Section 6(b)(ii), the exercise or
grant price, as applicable, of each share of Stock subject to such Options, SARs
and Limited SARs shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of one share of
Stock on the date of grant.

                                    (g) Deferred Payments. The Committee, in its
discretion, may elect to defer payment of any Award until such date before or
after retirement as a Grantee may request upon such terms and conditions as may
be approved or established by the Committee in its sole judgment. Such terms may
include the payment of Interest or Dividend Equivalents on deferred amounts. For
Awards granted on or after January 1, 2005, the deferral requested by the
Grantee must be made in compliance with the provisions of 409A of the Code.

                                    (h) Non-Performance-Based Compensation.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6A, the Committee may grant
Awards to Officers that are not subject to this Section 6A. All Awards granted
by the Committee shall indicate whether or not they are subject to this Section
6A.

                                    (i) Valuation. Whenever in this Section 6A
there is a reference to a maximum dollar value of a stock-based Award (including
but not limited to a Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, a Deferred Stock
Award or other Stock-Based Award), the dollar value is determined as of the date
of the grant of the Award and not as of the date of vesting. If one type of
Award is substituted for another (such as, for example, a Deferred Stock Award
being substituted for a Restricted Stock Award or for an Award of Restricted
Stock Units, where each Award is based upon the same number of shares of Common
Stock), the value of the substitute Award for this purpose is the same as the
Award for which it is substituted. Whenever in this Section 6A there is a
reference to a maximum dollar value of an Award, Dividend Equivalents and
Interest Equivalents (other than free-standing Dividend Equivalents and Interest
Equivalents) shall not be counted in determining such maximum amount.

                                    (j) Grant-by-Grant Determination. The
Committee may grant Awards a portion of which satisfy the provisions of this
Section 6A and a portion of which do not. In such a case, the Award shall be
deemed to be the grant of two Awards, one subject to this Section 6A and the
other granted pursuant to Section 6A(h).

                                    (k) Substitute Awards. The Committee may
establish procedures under which one Award is substituted for an equivalent
Award of a different type; such as a Deferred Stock Award being substituted for
an Award of an equivalent number of shares of Restricted Stock. Nothing
contained in this Section 6A requires the substitute Award to be subject to
Performance Goals in addition to the Performance Goals of the Award for which it
was substituted.

                  7. Change in Control Provisions. In the event of a Change of
Control:

                                                                              17
<PAGE>

                           (a) any Award carrying a right to exercise that was
not previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested;
and

                           (b) the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment
conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other Award granted
under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested, and any
performance conditions imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be
fully achieved.

                  8. Non-Employee Director Options. Notwithstanding any of the
other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8
shall apply only to grants of Options to Non-Employee Directors. Except as set
forth in this Section 8, the other provisions of the Plan shall apply to grants
of Options to Non-Employee Directors to the extent not inconsistent with this
Section.

                           (a) General. Non-Employee Directors shall receive
NQSOs in accordance with this Section 8 and may not be granted Stock
Appreciation Rights or Incentive Stock Options under this Plan. The purchase
price per share of Stock purchasable under Options granted to Non-Employee
Directors shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. No
Agreement with any Non-Employee Director may alter the provisions of this
Section and no Option granted to a Non-Employee Director may be subject to a
discretionary acceleration of exercisability.

                           (b) Grants to New Non-Employee Directors. Each Non-
Employee Director who is elected to the Board, on or before January 1, 2006, for
the first time will, at the time such director is elected and duly qualified, be
granted automatically, without action by the Committee, an Option to purchase
(i) for Options granted prior to July 23, 1996, 1,500 shares of Stock and (ii)
for Options granted on or after July 23, 1996, 4,500 shares of stock.

                           (c) Grants to Continuing Directors. On the date of
each annual meeting of stockholders (in addition to any grant made under
subsection (b) of this Section on such date) prior to January 1, 2006, each
continuing Non-Employee Director will be granted automatically, without action
by the Committee, an Option to purchase (i) for Options granted prior to July
23, 1996, 1,500 shares of Stock and (ii) for Options granted on or after July
23, 1996, 4,500 shares of stock.

                           (d) Vesting. As it relates to Options granted on or
before January 1, 2006, each Option shall be exercisable as to 33-1/3 percent of
the Stock covered by the Option on the first anniversary of the date the Option
is granted and as to an additional 33-1/3 percent of the Stock covered by the
Option on each of the following two anniversaries of such date of grant;
provided, however, that each Option shall be immediately exercisable in full
upon a Change in Control. To the extent not exercised, installments shall
accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after becoming
exercisable, but not later than the date the Option expires. Section 6(b) hereof
shall not apply to Options granted to Non-Employee Directors.

                           (e) Duration. Subject to the three clauses below,
each Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall be for a term of 10 years.
The Committee may not provide for an extended exercise period beyond the periods
set forth in this Section 8(e).

                                                                              18
<PAGE>

                                    (i) Options granted to any Non-Employee
Director prior to April 11, 2002 shall expire upon the cessation of such
Non-Employee Director's membership on the Board for any reason, except that, as
to any portion of such an Option which shall be exercisable upon the date of
such cessation, such Option may be exercised as to such portion until the
earlier of (i) three years from the date of such cessation of Board membership
or (ii) expiration of the term of such Option.

                                    (ii) Except as set forth in Section
8(e)(iii) below, Options granted to any Non-Employee Director on or after April
11, 2002 and prior to January 1, 2006 shall expire upon the cessation of such
Non-Employee Director's membership on the Board for any reason, except that, as
to any portion of such an Option which shall be exercisable upon the date of
such cessation, such Option may be exercised as to such portion until the
earlier of (i) one year from the date of such cessation of Board membership or
(ii) expiration of the term of such Option.

                                    (iii) Upon the cessation of a Non-Employee
Director's membership on the Board as a result of the Non-Employee Director's
death or disability or if such cessation occurs after the Non-Employee Director
has served on the Board for five years or more, Options granted to such
Non-Employee Director on or after April 11, 2002 and prior to January 1, 2006
and at least eight months prior to such cessation shall be exercisable by such
director (or by any person who acquires the right to exercise such option as a
result of such director's death) until the earlier of (i) five years from the
date of such cessation of Board membership (subject to the installment vesting
provisions of Section 8(d) above) or (ii) expiration of the term of such Option,
to the extent of the total number of shares subject to the grant.

                           (f) Options Granted on or after January 1, 2006. All
Options granted on or after January 1, 2006, to non-Employee Directors shall be
for such amounts and subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Board
or the Committee, to the extent such authority is delegated to the Committee by
the Board.

                  9. Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding any
of the other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the provisions of this
Section 9 shall apply only to grants of Restricted Stock to Non-Employee
Directors ("Director's Restricted Stock"). Except as set forth in this Section
9, the other provisions of the Plan shall apply to grants of Director's
Restricted Stock, to the extent not inconsistent with this Section.

                           (a) General. Non-Employee Directors will receive
Director's Restricted Stock in accordance with this Section. No agreement with
any Non-Employee Director may alter the provisions of this Section and no
Director's Restricted Stock may be subject to a discretionary acceleration of
vesting. Each person who was a Non-Employee Director prior to the 1994 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders was granted 2,500 shares of Director's Restricted Stock
(equivalent to 7,500 shares on or after July 23, 1996).

                           (b) Grants to New Non-Employee Directors. (i) Each
Non-Employee Director who, on or after the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
and prior to January 1, 2006, was elected to the Board for the first time, was,
at the time such Director was duly elected and qualified, granted automatically,
without action by the Committee, a number of shares of Director's Restricted

                                                                              19
<PAGE>

Stock equal to the lesser of (x) 2,500 shares (7,500 shares on or after July 23,
1996) or (y) the nearest number of whole shares determined by multiplying 2,500
(7,500 on or after July 23, 1996) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
initial Fair Market Value of the Stock determined under the formula utilized for
initial grants of NQSQs to Non-Employee Directors in February 1994 (such initial
Fair Market Value being $15.375 per share or, on or after July 23, 1996, $5.125
per share), and the denominator of which is the Fair Market Value of the Stock
on the date on which such Director is duly elected and qualified.

                           (c) Grants to Non-Employee Directors on or after
January 1, 2006. All grants of Restricted Stock after December 31, 2005 to
non-Employee Directors shall be for such amounts and subject to such terms as
shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, to the extent such authority
is delegated to the Committee by the Board.

                           (d) Vesting. (i) For Awards granted on or before
December 31, 2005, each Award of Director's Restricted Stock shall become
non-forfeitable as to twenty percent of the Stock covered by the Award on the
first anniversary date of the Award and as to an additional twenty percent of
the Stock on each of the following four anniversary dates of the Award; provided
that each Award shall be immediately non-forfeitable in full upon a Change in
Control. If a Non-Employee Director's service on the Board terminates prior to
the Award becoming entirely non-forfeitable, any portion of the Award which then
remains forfeitable shall revert to the Company, except that if the Non-Employee
Director's service terminates by reason of death or disability, any 20 percent
installment with respect to which such Non-Employee Director shall have begun
(but not completed) the requisite annual service shall become, as to such
installment, also entirely nonforfeitable. As used in the prior sentence, a
"disability" shall exist if, because of sickness or injury, the ability of the
Non-Employee Director to perform the duties of a member of the Board of
Directors becomes significantly impaired.

                  (ii) A Non-Employee Director may, on or prior to December 31,
1995 (or in the case of a Non-Employee Director who first becomes a Director
after December 31, 1995, within thirty days after becoming a Director), as to
his forfeitable shares of Director's Restricted Stock elect that such shares
shall become nonforfeitable on January 1 following the year in which he attains
his 70th birthday, but not earlier than the date upon which such shares become
nonforfeitable under subparagraph (i) of this paragraph (d) or later than the
date of a Change in Control. During such additional period, if any, that such
shares are forfeitable under this subparagraph (ii), the shares shall be
forfeited if such Non-Employee Director resigns from the Board of Directors or
refuses to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors, unless:

         A. Such resignation or refusal results from the disability (as defined
in subparagraph (i) above) or death of the Non-Employee Director; or

         B. Such Non-Employee Director furnishes to the Board of Directors an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the remaining
members, to the effect that continued membership on the Board will result in
such Non-Employee Director having a conflict of interest or suffering some other
significant legal liability; or

         C. Such resignation or refusal is approved or requested by a majority
of the remaining members of the Board of Directors or by stockholders owning a
majority of the voting stock of the Company.

                                                                              20
<PAGE>

         During such additional period, if any, that such shares are forfeitable
under this subparagraph (ii), if there occurs an event described in clause A.,
B. or C. of this subparagraph, the shares shall become nonforfeitable on the
date that the Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board of
Directors.

         Any such election to defer vesting shall be made in writing addressed
to the Secretary of the Committee, and shall be irrevocable when received.

                           (e) Dividends; Voting. Except as set forth in this
Section 9, a Director granted Director's Restricted Stock shall have all of the
rights of a stockholder including, without limitation, the right to vote
Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon.

                           (f) The Director's Restricted Stock shall be subject
to the following provisions prior to becoming non-forfeitable:

                                    (i) The Stock may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; and neither the
right to receive Stock nor any interest therein under the Plan may be assigned,
and any attempted assignment shall be void.

                                    (ii) The Stock certificates shall, at the
option of the Company, either (x) be held by the Company together with stock
powers endorsed by the Director in blank or (y) bear an appropriate restrictive
legend and be subject to appropriate "stop transfer" orders or (z) both.

                                    (iii) Any additional Stock or other
securities or property (other than cash dividends) that may be issued with
respect to Director's Stock as a result of any stock dividend, stock split,
reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination
of shares or other event, shall be subject to the restrictions and other terms
and conditions of the Plan.

                  10. General Provisions.

                           (a) Compliance with Local and Exchange Requirements.
The Plan, the granting and exercising of Awards, and the other obligations of
the Company under the Plan and any Award Agreement, promissory note or other
agreement shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws,
rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental
agency as may be required. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the
issuance or delivery of Stock under any Award until completion of such stock
exchange listing or registration or qualification of such Stock or other
required action under any state, federal or foreign law, rule or regulation as
the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any Grantee to make such
representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in
connection with the issuance or delivery of Stock in compliance with applicable
laws, rules and regulations.

                           (b) Nontransferability. Except as may be specifically
provided to the contrary in any Award Agreement, Awards shall not be
transferable by a Grantee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution
or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined under the Code or
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or

                                                                              21
<PAGE>

the rules thereunder, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Grantee
only by such Grantee or his guardian or legal representative.

                           (c) No Right to Continued Employment, etc.. Nothing
in the Plan or in any Award granted or any Award Agreement, or other agreement
entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Grantee the right to continue
in the employ of or to continue as an independent contractor, or director of the
Company, any subsidiary or any Affiliate or to be entitled to any remuneration
or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Award Agreement, or other
agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or
any such Subsidiary or Affiliate or the stockholders to terminate such Grantee's
employment, directorship or independent contractor relationship.

                           (d) Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an
Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, or any other
payment to a Grantee, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection
with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other actions as the
Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Grantees to satisfy
obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations
relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or
receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in
satisfaction of a Grantee's tax obligations.

                           (e) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board
may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the
Plan in whole or in part; provided that, without stockholder approval, no
amendment shall be made (i) to change Section 4 of the Plan which defines the
persons eligible to receive Awards, (ii) to increase the number of shares
available for issuance pursuant to the Plan (other than pursuant to the
anti-dilution provisions set forth in Section 5 of the Plan), (iii) to increase
the number of shares issuable under Sections 6(d), 6(e), 6(f) and 6(i) of the
Plan, (iv) to change the provisions limiting repricing of options in Section
6(b)(ii) of the Plan, (v) to extend the 10 year maximum term of Options issued
under the Plan set forth in Section 6(b)(iii) of the Plan, (vi) to create
additional kinds of awards under the Plan not already contemplated by the Plan
or (vii) to change this Section 10(e). Additionally, no amendment shall affect
adversely any of the rights of any Grantee, without such Grantee's consent,
under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan. Nothing in this Section
10(e) shall limit the provisions of Section 10(i) of the Plan.

                           (f) No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. No
Grantee shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there
is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Grantees. Except as provided
specifically herein, a Grantee or a transferee of an Award shall have no rights
as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Award until the date
of the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares.

                           (g) Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended
to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With
respect to any payments not yet made to a Grantee pursuant to an Award, nothing
contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Grantee any rights that
are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

                           (h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of
Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The
Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be

                                                                              22
<PAGE>

issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional
shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

                           (i) Not Exclusive. The Awards granted under this Plan
are not intended to be exclusive and, accordingly, the Board may adopt, or
permit the adoption of, other compensation and/or benefit plans or arrangements
of any type whatsoever, including but not limited to plans or arrangements that
provide for compensation in the same form as, or in form similar or dissimilar
to, types of compensation available under this Plan.

                           (j) Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations
made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles
thereof.

                           (k) Effective Date; Plan Termination. The Plan has
been approved by stockholders. Amendments to the Plan effected at the January
21, 2003 meeting of the Board shall take effect upon their adoption by the Board
(the "Effective Date"), but the amendments to this Plan (and any Awards made on
or after such date and prior to the stockholder approval mentioned herein),
shall be subject to the approval of such amendments by a majority of the votes
cast on the proposal seeking such approval, provided that the total vote cast on
the proposal represents over 50% in interest of all securities entitled to vote
on the proposal, which approval must occur within twelve months of the Effective
Date; provided that Awards which could have been made under the Plan as
previously in effect shall not be affected by the lack of stockholder approval
of the amendments. In the absence of such approval, except as so provided above,
such Awards shall be null and void.

                                                                              23
