Plan, the terms of this Plan shall govern.

purpose, except that the Committee may not delegate any discretionary
authority with respect to substantive decisions or functions regarding
the Plan or Awards including, but not limited to, decisions regarding the
timing, eligibility, pricing, amount or other material terms of such
Awards.  Any such delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

e.     The Company and Subsidiaries shall furnish the Committee with such
data and information as it determines may be required for it to discharge
its duties.  The records of the Company and Subsidiaries as to an
employee's or Participant's employment, termination of employment, leave
of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all
persons unless determined to be incorrect.  Participants and other
persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee
such evidence, data or information, as the Committee considers desirable
to carry out the terms of the Plan.

SECTION 9:  ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS

a.     In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock by
reason of a stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger or

similar corporate changes or an extraordinary dividend payback in cash or
property, the Committee may adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or
potential benefits of the Awards.

necessary to ensure equitable treatment of any holder of an Award as the
result of any other transaction affecting the Plan not described in (a),
or as is required or authorized under the terms of any applicable Award
Agreement.

c.     The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall
not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board of
Directors or the shareholders of the Corporation to make or authorize any
adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other capital structure
of its business, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, any
issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of
or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part
of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

SECTION 10:  CHANGE OF CONTROL

Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion unless otherwise
provided in an Award Agreement, take any of the following actions as a
result, or in anticipation, of any such event:

1.     accelerate time periods for purposes of vesting in, or realizing
gain from, any outstanding Award made pursuant to this Plan;

2.     make adjustments or modifications to outstanding Awards, as the
Committee deems appropriate to maintain and protect the rights and
interests of Participants following such change of control.

Any such action approved by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding
on the Corporation and all Participants.

b.     For purposes of this Section, a change of control shall mean the
following:

<PAGE>

Corporation representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined
voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding voting securities.

holders of the Corporation.

3.     The Corporation transfers substantially all of its assets to
another corporation or entity that is not a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Corporation.

4.     Any person (as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act) other than a person included within the definition
of Rosenberg Shareholder in Section II.6, Stock Not Subject to the
Control Share Act, of the Corporation's Bylaws (or any group controlled
by or consisting of persons included within the definition of Rosenberg
Shareholder) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Corporation representing twenty percent (20%) or
more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding
securities.

5.     As the result of a tender offer, merger, consolidation, sale of

Agreement will require the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, for the
purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets
or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are
made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor will the Corporation or
its Subsidiaries maintain separate bank

accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a
segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such
purposes.

b.     Participants will have no rights under the Plan other than as
unsecured general creditors of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries,
except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of
additional compensation by performance of services, they will have the
same rights as other employees under generally applicable law.

SECTION 12:  LIMITS OF LIABILITY

a.     Any liability of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to any
Participant with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon
contractual obligations created by the Plan and the Award Agreement.

Board of Directors or of the Committee, nor any other person

the interpretation, administration or application of the Plan, shall have
any liability to any party for any action taken or not taken in good
faith under the Plan.

commitment that any Award will be made under this Plan to such eligible
Employee or to eligible Employees generally.

b.     Nothing contained in this Plan or in any Award Agreement (or in
any other documents related to this Plan or to any Award or Award
Agreement) shall confer upon any Employee or Participant any right to
continue in the employ or other service of the Corporation or a
Subsidiary or constitute any contract or limit in any way the right of
the Corporation or a Subsidiary to change such person's compensation or
other benefits or to terminate the employment or other service of such
person with or without cause.
