<PAGE>

                  weightings may vary from Plan Year to Plan Year and
                  Participant to Participant, and may cover a period greater
                  than a single Plan Year.

         4.2      DETERMINATION OF AWARDS. The actual Award payable to a
                  Participant will be determined by the Company and approved by
                  the Committee based on (i) the Participant's Target Award (ii)
                  the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved,
                  and (iii) the weighting established with respect to the
                  applicable Performance Criteria. The Committee may reduce the
                  amount of an Award in the event there is a substantial
                  distortion in EPS for the Plan Year in respect of which an
                  Award is being paid resulting from an acquisition, a
                  divestiture, or a change in accounting standards.

         4.3      PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Awards will be paid in a single installment

                  5, it is a condition precedent to the payment of any Award
                  that the Participant be employed in active status through the
                  date the Award is made. Subject to such terms and conditions
                  and within such limits as may from time to time be
                  established, one or more Participants may defer the receipt of
                  cash amounts payable under the Plan pursuant to the Company's
                  Executive Deferred Compensation Plan or any successor plan.

                  prorated Award in cash for such year as soon as practicable
                  after such Plan Year.

         5.2      CAUSE. If a Participant's employment with the Company is
                  terminated for Cause, the right to the payment of an Award in
                  respect of a Plan Year and all other rights under this Plan
