may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be
determined by the Board. The Board may grant Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or

in determining the number of SARs granted to each Participant (subject to
Article 4 herein) and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in
determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs. The grant price of
a Freestanding SAR shall equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
grant of the SAR. The grant price of Tandem SARs shall equal the Option Price
of the related Option.

7.2       EXERCISE OF TANDEM SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part
of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to
exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR may be

exercisable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary,
with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO: (i) the Tandem
SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the underlying ISO; (ii) the
value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than one
hundred percent (100%) of the difference between the Option Price of the
underlying ISO and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying
ISO at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (iii) the Tandem SAR may be
exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO
exceeds the Option Price of the ISO.

7.3       EXERCISE OF FREESTANDING SARs. Freestanding SARs may be exercised upon
whatever terms and conditions the Board, in its sole discretion, imposes upon
them.

7.4       SAR AGREEMENT. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement
that shall specify the grant price, the term of the SAR, and such other
provisions as the Board shall determine.

7.5       TERM OF SARs. The term of an SAR granted under the Plan shall be
determined by the Board, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such
term shall not exceed ten (10) years.

7.6       PAYMENT OF SAR AMOUNT.  Upon exercise of an SAR, a Participant  shall
be entitled to receive  payment from the Company in an amount determined by
multiplying:

          (a)  The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
               date of exercise over the grant price; by

          (b) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

At the discretion of the Board, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in
Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. The Board's
determination regarding the form of SAR payout shall be set forth in the Award
Agreement pertaining to the grant of the SAR.

8.3       OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Subject to Article 12 herein, the Board shall
impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares of Restricted
Stock granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without
limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for
each Share of Restricted Stock, restrictions based upon the achievement of
specific performance goals (Company-wide, divisional, and/or individual),
time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the performance
goals, and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.
The Company may retain the certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock
in the Company's possession until such time as all conditions and/or
restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied. Except as otherwise
provided in this Article 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each
Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan shall become freely transferable by
the Participant after the last day of the applicable Period of Restriction.

8.4       VOTING RIGHTS. Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted
hereunder may be granted the right to exercise full voting rights with respect
to those Shares during the Period of Restriction.

8.5       DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. During the Period of Restriction,
Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may be
credited with regular cash dividends paid with respect to the Shares while they
are so held. The Board may apply any restrictions to the dividends that the
Board deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the preceding
sentence, if the grant or vesting of Restricted Shares granted to a Covered
Employee is designed to comply with the requirements of the Performance-Based
Exception, the Board may apply any restrictions it deems appropriate to the
payment of dividends declared with respect to such Restricted Shares, including,

                              PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Unless and until the Board proposes for stockholder vote and stockholders
approve a change in the general performance measures set forth in this Article
12, the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout and/or vesting
with respect to Awards to Covered Employees which are designed to qualify for
the Performance-Based Exception, the performance measure(s) to be used for
purposes of such grants shall be chosen from among:

          (a)  Earnings per share;

          (b)  Net income (before or after taxes);

          (c)  Return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets,
               equity, or sales);

          (d)  Cash flow return on investments which equals net cash flows
               divided by owners equity;

of attainment of the preestablished performance goals; provided, however, that
Awards which are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, and
which are held by Covered Employee, may not be adjusted upward (the Board shall
retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward). In the event that
applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Board discretion to alter
the governing performance measures without obtaining stockholder approval of
such changes, the Board shall have sole discretion to make such changes without
obtaining stockholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Board
determines that it is advisable to grant Awards which shall not qualify for the
Performance-Based Exception, the Board may make such grants without satisfying
the requirements of Code Section 162(m).

beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any
benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or
she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all
prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the

of any requirements or goals with respect to Performance Units/Shares. If any
such deferral election is required or permitted, the Board shall, in its sole
discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals.

162(m) is applicable, all Awards granted under this Plan shall comply with the
requirements of Code Section 162(m); provided, however, that in the event the
Board determines that such compliance is not desired with respect to any Award
or Awards available for grant under the Plan, then compliance with Code Section
162(m) will not be required. In addition, in the event that changes are made to
