Account  shall be credited as of the payment date for any dividend paid or other
distribution  made with respect to the Common Stock,  with a number of shares of

multiplied by (b) the Dividend Equivalent for such dividend or distribution.

         8.  Delivery  of  Shares.  (a) The  shares  of the  Common  Stock  in a

accordance  with this  Paragraph 8 as soon as  practicable  after the applicable
Delivery Date.  Except with respect to a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph
6(c)  hereof,  or other  agreement  between the  parties,  such shares  shall be
delivered  at one time;  provided  that,  if the  number of shares so  delivered
includes a fractional  share,  such number shall be rounded to the nearest whole
number of shares.  If the Participant has in effect a Deferral Election pursuant
to  Paragraph  6(c)  hereof,  then such shares  shall be delivered in five equal
annual  installments  (together  with  dividends  attributable  to  such  shares
credited to such Deferred Stock Account),  with the first such installment being
delivered on the first  anniversary of the Delivery  Date;  provided that, if in
order  to  equalize  such  installments,  fractional  shares  would  have  to be
delivered,  such installments shall be adjusted by rounding to the nearest whole
share.  If any such shares are to be delivered after the Participant has died or
become legally incompetent,  they shall be delivered to the Participant's estate
or legal  guardian,  as the  case  may be,  in  accordance  with the  foregoing;
provided  that, if the  Participant  dies with a Deferral  Election  pursuant to
Paragraph  6(c) hereof in effect,  the  Committee  shall  deliver all  remaining
undelivered  shares to the  Participant's  estate  immediately.  References to a
Participant in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to the Participant's estate or
legal guardian, where appropriate.

         (b) The Company  may,  but shall not be required  to,  create a grantor
trust or utilize an existing  grantor trust (in either case,  "Trust") to assist
it in  accumulating  the  shares  of the  Common  Stock  needed to  fulfill  its
obligations  under  this  Paragraph  8.  However,  Participants  shall  have  no
beneficial  or other  interest  in the Trust and the assets  thereof,  and their
rights under this Plan shall be as general creditors of the Company,  unaffected
by the existence or nonexistence  of the Trust,  except that deliveries of Stock
Retainers  to  Participants  from the Trust  shall,  to the extent  thereof,  be
treated as satisfying the Company's obligations under this Paragraph 8.

         9. Share  Certificates;  Voting and Other Rights.  The certificates for
shares delivered to a Participant  pursuant to Paragraph 8 above shall be issued
in the name of the Participant, and from and after the date of such issuance the
Participant shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder with respect to the
Common Stock for all such shares issued in his name, including the right to vote
the  shares,   and  the  Participant  shall  receive  all  dividends  and  other
distributions paid or made with respect thereto.

         advisable.

of shares,  exchange  of shares,  warrants or rights  offering  to purchase  the
Common  Stock at a price  below  its Fair  Market  Value,  reclassification,  or
recapitalization, or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation,
separation,  including  a  spin-off,  stock  dividend,  or  other  extraordinary
distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or
not such reorganization  comes within the definition of such term in Section 368
of the Code) or any partial or complete  liquidation of the Company (each of the
foregoing a  "Transaction"),  in each case other than any such Transaction which
constitutes  a Change of Control  (as defined  below),  (i) the  Deferred  Stock
Accounts  shall be credited with the amount and kind of shares or other property
which would have been received by a holder of the number of shares of the Common
Stock held in such  Deferred  Stock  Account had such shares of the Common Stock
been  outstanding  as of the  effectiveness  of any such  Transaction,  (ii) the

Accounts  are  converted  pursuant  to  Paragraph  12(a)  into  another  form of
property,  references  in this Plan to the Common  Stock shall be deemed,  where
appropriate,  to  refer  to  such  other  form  of  property,  with  such  other
modifications as may be required for this Plan to operate in accordance with its
purposes.  Without  limiting the  generality  of the  foregoing,  references  to
delivery of certificates for shares of the Common Stock shall be deemed to refer
to delivery of cash and the incidents of ownership of any other property held in
the Deferred Stock Accounts.

         (c) In lieu of the adjustment  contemplated by Paragraph  12(a), in the
event of a Change  of  Control,  the  following  shall  occur on the date of the

Deferred  Stock Account shall be deemed to be issued and  outstanding  as of the
Change of Control;  (ii) the Company shall forthwith deliver to each Participant
who has a Deferred  Stock  Account all of the shares of the Common  Stock or any

         provided, however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute
         a Change of  Control  (A) any  acquisition  directly  from the  Company
         (excluding  an  acquisition  by virtue of the  exercise of a conversion
         privilege  unless the security  being so converted was itself  acquired

         acquisition by any employee  benefit plan (or related trust)  sponsored
         or  maintained  by the  Company or any  corporation  controlled  by the
         Company  or (D)  any  acquisition  by  any  corporation  pursuant  to a
         reorganization,   merger   or   consolidation,   if,   following   such
         reorganization,  merger or consolidation,  the conditions  described in
         clauses (A), (B) and (C) of paragraph (iii) of this Paragraph 12(d) are
         satisfied; or

         the Company (as of the date hereof,  "Incumbent  Board")  cease for any
         reason  to  constitute  at least a  majority  of the  Board;  provided,
         however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date
         hereof whose  election,  or  nomination  for election by the  Company's
         stockholders,  was  approved  by a vote of at least a  majority  of the
         directors then  comprising  the Incumbent  Board shall be considered as
         though  such  individual  were a member  of the  Incumbent  Board,  but
         excluding,   for  this  purpose,  any  such  individual  whose  initial
         assumption  of  office  occurs  as a result  of  either  an  actual  or
         threatened  election  contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of
         Regulation 14A  promulgated  under the Exchange Act) or other actual or
         threatened  solicitation  of proxies or  consents  by or on behalf of a
