Company and Executive are referred to collectively herein as the "Parties" and
                                                                  -------
individually as a "Party".
                   -----

good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

              -------------------
shall be Executive Vice President, Manufacturing & Engineering of the Company
and shall render such administrative and other services to the Company and its
Subsidiaries as the Company's board of directors (the "Board") or its Chief
                                                       -----
Operating Officer may from time to time direct.  Executive shall devote his best
efforts and his full business time and attention (except for permitted vacation
periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business
and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Executive shall perform his
duties and responsibilities to the best of his abilities in a diligent,
trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner. Executive's principal place of
employment shall be at the Company's or its Subsidiaries' facility located in
Cincinnati, Ohio.  Executive shall report to the Chief Operating Officer of the
Company and attend the Information Committee meetings and other meetings when
requested by the Chief Operating Officer.  For purposes of this Agreement,
"Subsidiaries" shall mean any corporation of which the securities having a

majority of the voting power in electing directors are, at the time of
determination, owned by the Company, directly or through one or more

          3.  Base Salary, Bonus and Benefits.
              -------------------------------

          (a) During the Employment Period, Executive's base salary shall be
$200,000 per annum or such higher rate as the Board designates from time to time
(the "Base Salary").  The Base Salary shall be payable in regular installments
      -----------
in accordance with the Company's general payroll practices. Following the end of
the fiscal year during the Employment Period, the Board may award the Executive
a bonus for such year based on Executive's performance, the amount of which will
be determined by the Board in its sole judgment.  Executive's "target" under the
Company's Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") shall be thirty-three percent
(33.3%) of Base Salary with a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of Base Salary.
Executive is eligible to receive a special bonus equal to one-hundred percent
(100%) of his Base Salary if the Company's manufacturing performance is
outstanding (as determined solely by the Chairman and approved by the Board)
within the Employment Period.

          (b) In addition to the Base Salary and any bonuses payable to
Executive pursuant to Section 3(a), during the Employment Period Executive shall
be entitled to participate in the Company's 1995 Fourth Amended and Restated
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and all of the Company's other employee
benefit programs for which senior executive employees of the Company are
generally eligible, and Executive shall be entitled to (4) weeks of paid
vacation each year.  Executive shall be recommended, one time, to be granted
15,000 options to purchase the

Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Plan. The option price and vesting period
shall be determined by the Board in accordance with the Plan.

          (c) The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses
incurred by him in the course of performing his duties under this Agreement
which are consistent with the Company's policies in effect from time to time
with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to
the Company's requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such
expenses.  The Company shall furnish Executive with a reasonably priced
apartment in Cincinnati, Ohio mutually agreed upon by both Parties.

          4.  Term.
              ----

          (a) Unless renewed by the mutual agreement of the Company and
Executive, the Employment Period shall end on the first anniversary of the
Employment Date; provided that (i) the Employment Period shall terminate prior
to such date upon Executive's resignation, death or permanent disability or
incapacity (as determined by the Board in its good faith judgment) and (ii) the
Employment Period may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to such
date for Cause (as defined below) or without Cause.

          (b) If the Employment Period is terminated by the Company without
Cause prior to the first anniversary of the Employment Date, subject to the
limitations set forth below, Executive shall be entitled to receive his Base
Salary and health, disability and life insurance benefits until the later of the
first anniversary of the Employment Date or the first anniversary of the date of
such termination, so long as Executive has not breached the provisions of
Sections 5, 6, 7 and 11 hereof. The amounts payable pursuant to this Section
4(b) shall be reduced by the amount of any compensation Executive receives with
respect to any other employment during the period in which the Company is making
such payments to Executive or, in the event the Employment Period is terminated
as a result of Executive's permanent disability or incapacity, by the amount
Executive receives with respect to any disability policy.  Upon request from
time to time, Executive shall furnish the Company with a true and complete
certificate or affidavit specifying any such compensation or payments due to or
received by him.  Executive has no obligation to seek employment during the
period that he is receiving compensation pursuant to this Section 4(b).

          (c) If the Employment Period is terminated by the Company for Cause or
is terminated pursuant to clause 4 (a) (i) above, Executive shall be entitled to
receive his Base Salary through the date of termination.

          (d) All of Executive's rights to fringe benefits and bonuses hereunder
(if any) accruing after the termination of the Employment Period shall cease
upon such termination, except for benefits required by law.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4(c) to the contrary, the
Company shall be deemed to have terminated the Employment Period without Cause
in the event that (i) Executive resigns as a result of a material breach of this
Agreement by the Company which is not cured by the Company within 30 days after
Executive delivers written notice of such breach to the Chief Executive Officer
and General Counsel or (ii) the Company terminates the Employment Period as a
result of the permanent disability or incapacity of Executive pursuant to 4(a)
(i) above.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          (f) "Cause" shall mean (i) a material breach of this Agreement by
               -----
Executive, (ii) the conviction of the Executive by a court of competent
jurisdiction of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, (iii) conduct
which, if known to the general public, would likely bring the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries into substantial public disgrace or disrepute, (iv) material
and repeated failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the Board or
the Chief Executive Officer or (v) gross negligence or willful misconduct with
respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

          5.  Confidential Information.  Executive acknowledges that the
              ------------------------
information, observations and data obtained by him while employed by the Company
concerning the business or affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary
("Confidential Information") are the property of the Company or such Subsidiary.
 --------------------------
Therefore, Executive agrees that he shall not disclose to any unauthorized
person or use for his own account any Confidential Information without the prior
written consent of the Chief Executive Officer, unless and to the extent that
the aforementioned matters become generally known to and available for use by
the public other than as a result of Executive's acts or omissions to act.
Nothing herein shall prevent Executive from making (i) any disclosure that is
required by applicable law or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or
(ii) any disclosure, in good faith, to properly fulfill Executive's duties under
this Agreement.  Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of
the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request, all
memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other
documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential
Information, Work Product or the business of the Company or any Subsidiary which
he may then possess or have under his control.

          6.  Inventions and Patents.  Executive agrees that all inventions,
              ----------------------
innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings,
reports, and all similar or related information which relates to the Company's
or any of its Subsidiaries' actual or anticipated business, research and
development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived,
developed or made by Executive while employed by the Company ("Work Product")
                                                               ------------
belong to the Company or such Subsidiary.  Executive shall promptly disclose
such Work Product to the Chief Operating Officer and perform all actions
reasonably requested by the Chief Operating Officer (whether during or after the
Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without
limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

          7.  Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation.
              -----------------------------

          (a) Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with
the Company he will become familiar with the Company's and it Subsidiaries'
trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company and
the Subsidiaries and that his services will be of special, unique and
extraordinary value to the Company and the Subsidiaries.  Therefore, Executive
agrees that, during the Employment Period and during the period that Executive
is receiving compensation pursuant to Section 4(b) (but in no event for a period
of less than twelve months after the termination of the Employment Period) (the
"Noncompete Period"), he shall not directly or indirectly own, manage, control,
 -----------------
participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in
any business competing with the businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries as
such businesses exist or are in process on the date of the termination of
Executive's employment, within any geographical area in which the Company or its
Subsidiaries engage in such businesses.  Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive
from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any
class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no
active participation in the business of such corporation.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          (b) During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not directly or
indirectly (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any
Subsidiary to leave the employ of the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any
employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company or any
Subsidiary at any time during the Employment Period, or (iii) induce or attempt
to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the
Company or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with the Company or such
Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such
customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company or any
Subsidiary.

          8.  Enforcement.  If, at the time of enforcement of Section 5, 6 or 7,
              -----------
a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under
circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum period, scope or
geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for
the stated period, scope or area.  Because Executive's services are unique and
because Executive has access to Confidential Information and Work Product, the
Parties agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of
this Agreement.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of
this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to
other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other
relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof
(without posting a bond or other security).

          9.  Executive Representations.  Executive hereby represents and
              -------------------------
warrants to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by Executive does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or
cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or
decree to which Executive is a party or by which he is bound, (ii) Executive is
not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or
confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity and (iii) upon the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be
the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with
its terms.

          10.  Indemnification of Executive.  The Company shall indemnify and
               ----------------------------
hold harmless Executive from all losses and claims incurred in connection with
any actions taken by Executive in his capacity as an officer of the Company in
accordance with, and to the fullest extent permitted under, Delaware General
Corporation Law as in effect from time to time.

4.   Shares Available for the Plan.
     -----------------------------

       Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 15, an aggregate of
2,425,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company
(hereinafter the "Shares") may be issued pursuant to the Plan.  Such Shares may
be in whole or in part authorized and unissued, or shares which have been
reacquired by the Company and held as treasury shares.  If any grant under the
Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited as
to any Shares, such unpurchased or forfeited Shares shall thereafter be
available for further grants under the Plan unless, in the case of options
granted under the Plan, related SARs are exercised.

       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4 or the generality of the provisions of Sections 3, 6 or 17 or any
other section of this Plan, the Committee may, at any time or from time to time,
and on such terms and conditions (that are consistent with and not in
contravention of the other provisions of this Plan) as the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, determine, enter into agreements (or take other actions with
respect to the options) for new options containing terms (including exercise
prices) more (or less) favorable than the outstanding options.

5.   Participation.
     -------------

       Participation in the Plan shall be limited to those directors (including
Non-Employee Directors) and officers, employees and consultants of the Company
and its Subsidiaries selected by the Committee.  Nothing in the Plan or in any
grant thereunder shall confer any right on an employee to continue in the employ
of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to
terminate an employee at any time.

       Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options, SARs in tandem
with options, restricted stock awards, performance awards, or any combination
thereof, may be granted to such persons and for such number of Shares as the
Committee shall determine (such individuals to whom grants are made being
sometimes herein called "optionees" or "grantees" as the case may be).  A grant
of any type made hereunder in any one year to an eligible employee shall neither
guarantee nor preclude a further grant of that or any other type to such
employee in that year or subsequent years.

6.   Incentive and Nonqualified Options.
     ----------------------------------

       The Committee may from time to time grant to eligible participants
Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or any combination thereof.
In any one calendar year, the Committee shall not grant to any one participant,
options to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 375,000.
The options granted shall take such form as the Committee shall determine,
subject to the following terms and conditions.

       (a) Price.  The price per Share deliverable upon the exercise of each
           -----
option ("exercise price") shall be established by the Committee, except that in
the case of the grant of any Incentive Stock Option, the exercise price may not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market

                                       4
<PAGE>

Value of the Shares at the close of the market on the day next preceding grant
of the option unless otherwise permitted by Section 422 of the Code. In the case
of the grant of any Incentive Stock Option to an employee who, at the time of
the grant, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, such price per Share, if
required by the Code, shall not be less that 110% of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares at the close of the market on the day next preceding grant of the
option.

       (b) Payment.  Options may be exercised in whole or in part, upon payment
           -------
of the exercise price of the Shares to be acquired. Payment shall be made in
cash (including check, bank draft or money order) or, in the discretion of the
Committee, (i) in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and/or by delivery of the
optionee's promissory note (if in accordance with policies approved by the
Committee), or (ii) by special arrangement through a broker selected by the
Committee.  The fair market value of shares of  Common Stock tendered on
exercise of options shall be the Fair Market Value of such shares as of the
close of the market on the day next preceding exercise of the option.

       (c) Withholding Tax.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a
           ---------------
participant may elect to deliver shares of Common Stock (or have the company
withhold shares acquired upon exercise of the option) to satisfy in whole or in
part, the amount the Company is required to withhold for taxes in connection
with the exercise of an option.  Such election must be made on or before the
date the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.  Once made, the election
shall be irrevocable.  The fair market value of the shares to be withheld or
delivered will be the Fair Market Value as of the close of the market on the day
next preceding the date the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

       (d) Terms of Options.  The term during which each option may be exercised
           ----------------
shall be determined by the Committee, but, except as otherwise provided herein,
in no event shall an option be exercisable in whole or in part in the case of a
Nonqualified Stock Option, more than ten years and one day from the date it is
granted or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, more than ten years from
the date it is granted; and, in the case of the grant of an Incentive Stock
Option to an employee who at the time of the grant owns more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, in no event shall such option be exercisable, if required by the
Code, more than five years from the date of the grant.  All rights to purchase
shares pursuant to an option shall, unless sooner terminated, expire at the date
designated by the Committee.  The Committee shall determine the date on which
each option shall become exercisable and may provide that an option shall become
exercisable in installments.  The shares constituting each installment may be
purchased in whole or in part at any time after such installment becomes
exercisable, subject to such minimum exercise requirements as are designated by
the Committee.  Unless otherwise provided herein or in the terms of the related
grant, an optionee may exercise an option only if he or she is, and has been
continuously since the date the option was granted, a director, officer or
employee of the Company or a Subsidiary.  Prior to the exercise of the option
and delivery of the Shares represented thereby, the optionee shall have no right
to any dividends or be entitled to any voting rights on any Shares covered by
outstanding options.

                                       5
<PAGE>

       (e) Limitations on Grants. If required by the Code, the aggregate Fair
           ---------------------
Market Value (determined as of the grant date) of Shares for which an Incentive
Stock Option is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year may not
exceed $100,000.

       (f) Termination of Employment; Change in Control.
           --------------------------------------------

           (i)    If a participant ceases to be a director, officer or employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary due to death or Disability, all of the
participant's options, and SARs shall become fully vested and exercisable and
shall remain so for a period of one year from the date of termination of
employment, but in no event after the expiration date of the option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Disability giving rise to the termination
of employment is not within the meaning of Section 422(e)(3) of the Code,
Incentive Stock Options not exercised by such participant within 90 days after
the date of termination of employment will cease to qualify as Incentive Stock
Options and will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options under the Plan if
required to be so treated under the Code.

           (ii)   If a participant ceases to be a director, officer or employee
of the Company or a Subsidiary upon the occurrence of his or her Retirement, (A)
each of his or her options and SARs that was exercisable on the date of
Retirement shall remain exercisable for, and shall otherwise terminate at the
end of, a period of up to five years after the date of Retirement, but in no
event after the expiration date of the option; provided that the participant
does not engage in Competition during such five-year period unless he or she
receives written consent to do so from the Board or the Committee, and (B) all
of the participant's options and SARs that were not exercisable on the date of
Retirement shall be forfeited immediately upon such cessation. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Incentive Stock Options not exercised by such participant within
90 days after Retirement will cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options and
will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options under the Plan if required to be
so treated under the Code.

           (iii)  If a participant ceases to be a director, officer or employee
of the Company or a Subsidiary due to Cause, all of his or her options and SARs
shall be forfeited immediately upon such cessation.

           (iv)   Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a participant
ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other
than death, Disability, Retirement or Cause, (A) each of his or her options and
SARs that was exercisable on the date of termination shall remain exercisable
for, and shall otherwise terminate at the end of, a period of 90 days after the
date of termination of employment, but in no event after the expiration date of
the option; provided that participant does not engage in Competition during such
90-day period unless he or she receives written consent to do so from the Board
or the Committee, and (B) all of the participant's options and SARs that were
not exercisable on the date of such termination shall be forfeited.

           (v)    If there is a Change in Control of the Company, all of the
participant's options and SARs shall become fully vested and exercisable.

                                       6

7.   Stock Appreciation Rights.
     -------------------------

       The Committee shall have the authority to grant SARs under this Plan to
any optionee, either at the time of grant of an option or thereafter by
amendment to an option.  The exercise of an option shall result in an immediate
forfeiture of its related SAR to the extent the option is exercised, and the
exercise of a SAR shall cause an immediate forfeiture of its related option to
the extent the SAR is exercised.  SARs shall be subject to such other terms and
conditions as the Committee may specify.  A SAR shall expire at the same time as
the related option expires and shall be transferable only when, and under the
same conditions as, the related option is transferable.

       SARs shall be exercisable only when, to the extent and on the conditions
that the related option is exercisable.  No SAR may be exercised unless the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock of the Company on the date of exercise
exceeds the exercise price of the option to which the SAR corresponds.

       Upon the exercise of a SAR, the optionee shall be entitled to a
distribution in an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value
of a share of Common Stock of the Company on the date of exercise and the
exercise price of the option to which the SAR is related multiplied by the
number of Shares as to which the SAR is exercised.  The Committee shall decide
whether such distribution shall be in cash, in shares, or in a combination
thereof.

       All SARs will be exercised automatically on the last day prior to the
expiration date of the related option, so long as the Fair Market Value of a
share of the Company's Common Stock on that date exceeds the exercise price of
the related option.

8.   Restricted Stock.
     ----------------

       The Committee may at any time and from time to time grant Shares of
restricted stock under the Plan to such participants and in such amounts as it
determines.  Each grant of restricted stock shall specify the applicable
restrictions on such Shares, the duration of such restrictions (which shall be
at least one year), and the time or times at which such restrictions shall lapse
with respect to all or a specified number of Shares that are part of the grant.

       The participant will be required to deposit Shares with the Company
during any period of restriction thereon and to execute a blank stock power
therefor.  Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, during such period of
restriction the participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of Common
Stock, including but not limited to the rights to receive dividends (or amounts
equivalent to dividends) and to vote.

       Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, on a Change in Control or
on termination of a grantee's employment due to death, Disability or Retirement
with the consent of the Company during any period of restriction, all
restrictions on Shares granted to such grantee shall lapse. On termination of a
grantee's employment for any other reason, all restricted stock

                                       7
<PAGE>

granted to such grantee on which the restrictions have not lapsed shall be
forfeited to the Company.

9.   Performance Awards.
     ------------------

       Performance awards may be granted on a contingent basis to participants
at any time and from time to time as determined by the Committee.  The Committee
shall have complete discretion in determining the size and composition of
performance awards so granted to a participant and the appropriate period over
which performance is to be measured ("performance cycle").  Performance awards
may include (i) specific dollar-value target awards (ii) performance units, the
value of each such unit being determined by the Committee at the time of
issuance, and/or (iii) performance Shares, the value of each such Share being
equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company's Common Stock.

       The value of each performance award may be fixed or it may be permitted
to fluctuate based on a performance factor (e.g., return on equity) selected by
the Committee.

       The Committee shall establish performance goals and objectives for each
performance cycle on the basis of such criteria and objectives as the Committee
may select from time to time.  During any performance cycle, the Committee shall
have the authority to adjust the performance goals and objectives for such cycle
for such reasons as it deems equitable.

       The Committee shall determine the portion of each performance award that
is earned by a participant on the basis of the Company's performance over the
performance cycle in relation to the performance goals for such cycle. The
earned portion of a performance award may be paid out in Shares, cash, or a
combination of both, as the Committee may determine.

       A participant must be an employee of the Company at the end of the
performance cycle in order to be entitled to payment of a performance award
issued in respect of such cycle; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
determined by the Committee, if a participant ceases to be an employee of the
Company upon the occurrence of his or her death, Retirement, or Disability prior
to the end of the performance cycle, the participant shall earn a proportionate
portion of the performance award based upon the elapsed portion of the
performance cycle and the Company's performance over that portion of such cycle.

       In the event of a Change in Control, a participant shall earn no less
than the portion of the performance award that the participant would have earned
if the performance cycle(s) had terminated as of the date of the Change in
Control.

                                       8
<PAGE>

10.  Withholding Taxes.
     -----------------

       The Company may require, as a condition to any grant or exercise under
the Plan or to the delivery of certificates for Shares issued hereunder, that
the grantee pay to the Company, in cash, any federal, state or local taxes of
any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any grant or any
delivery of Shares.  The Company, to the extent permitted or required by law,
shall have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind (including salary or
bonus) otherwise due to a grantee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to any grant or to the delivery of
Shares under the Plan, or to retain or sell without notice a sufficient number
of the Shares to be issued to such grantee to cover any such taxes, provided
that the Company shall not sell any such Shares if such sale would be considered
a sale by such grantee for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act that is
not exempt from matching thereunder.

11.  Written Agreement; Vesting.
     --------------------------

       Each employee to whom a grant is made under the Plan shall enter into a
written agreement with the Company that shall contain such provisions, including
without limitation vesting requirements, consistent with the provisions of the
Plan, as may be approved by the Committee.  Unless the Committee determines
otherwise, no grant under this Plan may be exercised within six months of the
date such grant is made.

12.  Transferability.
     ---------------

       Except as set forth in the next sentence of this Section 12, and unless
the agreement pursuant to which a grant is made provides otherwise, an option,
tandem SAR, performance award, or restricted stock granted under the Plan shall
not be transferable by an employee other than by operation of a death
beneficiary designation made by the employee in accordance with rules
established by the Committee, by will or the applicable laws of descent and
distribution, and shall be exercisable during the employee's lifetime only by
him or her or his or her guardian or legal representative if the employee is
legally incompetent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent that it
would cause the Plan to fail to meet the conditions required to be met under
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, the Committee shall have the power and
authority to provide, as a term of any Nonqualified Stock Option granted under
the Plan, that such Nonqualified Stock Option may be transferred without
consideration by the Non-Employee Director or the optionee, as applicable, to a
member or members of his or her immediate family (i.e., a child, children,
grandchild, grandchildren or spouse) and/or to a trust or trusts for the benefit
of an immediate family member or family members.

                                       9
<PAGE>

13.  Listing and Registration.
     ------------------------

       If the Committee determines that the listing, registration or
qualification upon any securities exchange or under any law of Shares subject to
any option, SAR, performance award, or restricted stock grant is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of same or the
issue or purchase of Shares thereunder, no such option or SAR may be exercised
in whole or in part, no such performance award paid out and no Shares issued
unless such listing, registration or qualification is effected free of any
conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

14.  Transfer of Employee.
     --------------------

       Transfer of an employee from the Company to a Subsidiary, from a
Subsidiary to the Company, and from one Subsidiary to another shall not be
considered a termination of employment; nor shall it be considered a termination
of employment if an employee is placed on military or sick leave or such other
leave of absence which is considered by the Committee as continuing intact the
employment relationship.

15.  Adjustments.
     -----------

       In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock
dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, distribution of assets,
or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the
Committee shall make such adjustment as it deems appropriate in the number and
kind of Shares or other property reserved for issuance under the Plan, in the
number and kind of Shares or other property covered by grants made under the
Plan, and in the exercise price of outstanding options.  In the event of any
merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which the Company is not the
surviving or continuing corporation or in which a Change in Control is to occur,
all of the Company's obligations regarding options, SARs performance awards, and
restricted stock that were granted hereunder and that are outstanding on the
date of such event shall, on such terms as may be approved by the Committee
prior to such event, be assumed by the surviving or continuing corporation or
canceled in exchange for property (including cash).

16.  Termination and Modification of the Plan.
     ----------------------------------------

       The Board of Directors, without further approval of the stockholders, may
modify or terminate the Plan, except that no modification shall become effective
without prior approval of the stockholders of the Company if stockholder
approval would be required for continued compliance with the performance-based
compensation exception of Section 162(m) of the Code.

                                       10
<PAGE>

17.  Amendment or Substitution of Awards under the Plan.
     --------------------------------------------------

       The terms of any outstanding award under the Plan may be amended from
time to time by the Committee in its discretion in any manner that it deems
appropriate (including, but not limited to, acceleration of the date of exercise
of any award and/or payments thereunder); provided that no such amendment shall
adversely affect in a material manner any right of a participant under the award
without his written consent, unless the Committee determines in its discretion
that there have occurred or are about to occur significant changes in the
participant's position, duties or responsibilities, or significant changes in
economic, legislative, regulatory, tax, accounting or cost/benefit conditions
which are determined by the Committee in its discretion to have or to be
expected to have a substantial effect on the performance of the Company, or any
subsidiary, affiliate, division or department thereof, on the Plan or on any
award under the Plan.  However, the Committee may not reduce the exercise price
of an outstanding option.  The Committee may, in its discretion, permit holders
of awards under the Plan to surrender outstanding awards in order to exercise or
realize rights under other awards, or in exchange for the grant of new awards,
or require holders of awards to surrender outstanding awards as a condition
precedent to the grant of new awards under the Plan.

       The Committee may amend or modify the grant of any outstanding option,
tandem SAR, performance award, or restricted stock in any manner to the extent
that the Committee would have had the authority to make such grant as so
modified or amended, including without limitation to change the date or dates as
of which (i) an option or SAR becomes exercisable, (ii) a performance award is
to be determined or paid, or (iii) restrictions on Shares are to be removed.  No
modification may be made that would materially adversely affect any grant
previously made under the Plan without the approval of the grantee.  The
Committee shall be authorized to make minor or administrative modifications to
the Plan as well as modifications to the Plan that may be dictated by
requirements of federal or state laws applicable to the Company or that may be
authorized or made desirable by such laws.

18.  Commencement Date; Termination Date.
     -----------------------------------

       The Board and the stockholders initially approved the Plan as of June,
1995.  In August 1996, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the
Plan, which the stockholders approved in February 1997.  In November 1997, the
Board approved a second amendment and restatement of the Plan, which the
stockholders approved in February 1998.  In November 1998, the Board approved a
third amendment and restatement of the Plan, which the stockholders approved in
February 1999.  In December 1999, the Board approved the fourth amendment and
restatement of the Plan.  Unless previously terminated upon the adoption of a
resolution of the Board terminating the Plan, the Plan shall terminate at the
close of business on May 31, 2005.  No termination of the Plan shall materially
and adversely affect any of the rights or obligations of any person, without his
consent, under any grant of options or other incentives theretofore granted
under the Plan.
