ARTICLE 1.  ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE
-------------------------------------

     The Company adopted the Plan effective as of June 20, 1986 and the Plan was

of outstanding ability. To this end, the Plan provides for the issuance of
Rights which may entitle the holder to receive certain cash amounts.

ARTICLE 2.  ADMINISTRATION
--------------------------

     The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which has been authorized
to act on behalf of each Participating Company. The Committee shall determine
the meaning and application of the provisions of the Plan. The act of a majority
of the Committee members present at meetings at which a quorum exists, or acts
reduced to or approved in writing by a majority of all Committee members, shall
be valid acts of the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee
shall have the exclusive authority and absolute discretion to act on the
following matters:

     a.   The selection of the Employees who are to become Participants;

     b.   The determination of the number of Rights to be granted to each
          Participant;

     c.   Any waiver of the Plan's forfeiture conditions;

     d.   The adoption, amendment or rescission of rules, procedures and forms
          relating to the Plan;

     e.   The determination of Performance Unit Value; and

     f.   Any other actions the Committee deems necessary or advisable for the
          administration of the Plan.

     All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Committee shall be
final and binding on all Participants and all persons deriving their rights from
a Participant.  No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action he or
she has taken, or has failed to take, in good faith with respect to the Plan or
any Right.

Company's continued growth, development and long-term financial success.
Participation may be based on the recommendations of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, subject to the Committee's approval.

ARTICLE 4.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RIGHTS
------------------------------------------

      4.1  General.  Each Award of Rights granted Under the Plan shall be
           -------
evidenced by a letter from the Committee to the Participant.  The award shall be
subject to all of the terms of the Plan and such other conditions as the
Committee may deem appropriate in each case.

      4.2  Vesting.  One third of the Rights included in a Participant's award
           -------
shall vest on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Date of
Grant of such award, but only if the Participant's service as an Employee has
been continuous from when the letter described in Section 4.1 is sent to
employee to the date of vesting.  The Committee, at its sole discretion, may
accelerate the vesting of any or all outstanding Rights.

      4.3  Payment.  The amount payable with respect to each vested Right shall
           -------
be equal to the Performance Unit Value.  Payment shall be made to the
Participant in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Rights vest at
the end of the third, fourth and fifth years respectfully.   Interest computed
from the end of the third year of an award will be paid on amounts vesting at
the end of the fourth and fifth year unless the Participant elected to defer
receipt under Article 5 of this Plan.  Interest shall be computed at a monthly
interest rate equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual rate charged for
commercial loans to most credit-worthy customers, as most recently announced by
Bank of America or such other financial institution as determined by the
Committee, effective as of the last day of the calendar month in which such
interest is computed.

      4.4  Death, Disability or Retirement.  In the event that a Participant
           -------------------------------
ceases to be an Employee by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, a payment
shall be made to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant's death,
to his or her beneficiary) for nonvested Rights provided that the participant
has reached the third, anniversary of the Data of Grant.

     Payment shall be made to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) in a
single lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Participant
ceased to be an Employee, unless the Participant has elected a valid deferral
under Article 5 of this Plan.

      4.5  Other Termination of Employment.  Except to the extent that a payment
           -------------------------------
is made under Section 4.4, all nonvested Rights held by a Participant when he or
she ceases to be an Employee shall be forfeited.  In addition, an Employee of a
Participating Company shall cease to be an Employee for purposes of Section 4.5
as of the date his or her employer ceases to be a Participating Company.

      4.6  Leaves of Absence.  For purposes of the Plan, employment shall be
           -----------------
deemed to continue while the Participant is on a Company approved leave of

amounts payable under the Long-Term Performance Plan pursuant to this Article 5.
The minimum amount that may be deferred is the greater of $5,000 or five percent
(5%) of each Right.  A director who is not a common-law employee of the Company

            ------------------------

the initial vesting period for a given grant of units.  All elections are
irrevocable when the final data for deferral elections is past.

       5.3  Effect on Other Plans.  Payment made under this Plan shall not be
            ---------------------
included in "covered compensation" or "Compensation" for crediting benefits or
contributions to any qualified retirement, profit sharing, stock purchase or
employee savings plan.

       5.4  Interest Credit.  Interest shall be computed monthly as of the last
            ---------------
day of each calendar month on the undistributed balance of each Participant's
Deferred Account at the end of such calendar month.  Interest shall be computed
at a monthly interest rate equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual rate
charged for commercial loans to most credit-worthy customers, as most recently
announced by Bank of America or such other financial institution as determined
by the Committee, effective as of the last day or the calendar month in which
such interest is computed.

     Such interest shall be credited to the account of each Participant
on the books of the employing Participating Company as of December 31 of such
calendar year.

       5.5  Payment Of Deferred Compensation.
            --------------------------------

Plan shall be payable as follows:

       a.  Termination for Any Reason Other Than Death or Involuntary Discharge.

          In the event that the Participant's employment shall be terminated by
          reason of disability,

                                       3
<PAGE>

          retirement, voluntary termination, bona fide job elimination or for
          any other reason other than his death or other involuntary discharge,
          the amount of his Deferred Account shall be paid to him over a ten
          (10) year period in one hundred twenty (120) ratable monthly
          installments commencing on the first day of the calendar month
          following the later of the Participant's attainment of age seventy and
          one-half (70-1/2) or the date of the Participation's termination of
          employment. A Participant may, however, at the time he notifies the
          Committee of his election to have a portion of his total compensation
          for a given calendar year payable as a Deferred Account under the
          Plan.

          (i)   Specify a date for a lump sum payment or begin monthly payments
                for a period longer than five (5) year, but not to exceed ten
                (10) years, over which his Deferred Account for such year shall
                be paid; and/or

          (ii)  Specify that such monthly installments commence on other than
                the date of retirement but not later than his attainment of age
                seventy and one-half (70-1/2).

     b.   Termination of Employment by Death.  In the event that the
          ----------------------------------
          Participant's employment is terminated by death, or in the event of a
          Participant's death after termination of employment and payments have
          not commenced, the unpaid balance of his Deferred Account shall be
          paid to his Beneficiary over a ten (10) year period in one hundred and
          twenty (120) ratable monthly installments commencing on the first day
          of the calendar month following the later of (i) the month in which
          the Participant died, or (ii) the month in which the Participant would
          have attained age seventy and one-half (70-1/2); except that at the
          time a Participant notifies the Committee of his election to have a
          portion of the amounts payable with respect to a Right be payable as a
          Deferred Account under the Plan, such Participant may elect that such
          unpaid balance be paid in a lump sum at a designated time within the
          five (5) year period following his death or in ratable monthly
          installments over a five (5) year period or a specified longer period
          not to exceed ten (10) years.

     c.   Termination of Employment by Involuntary Discharge.  In the event that
          --------------------------------------------------
          a Participant's employment is terminated by involuntary termination
          other than death or disability, the amount of his Deferred Account
          shall be paid in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after his
          termination of employment.

     d.   Acceleration of Payments.  A Participant or, in the case of the death
          ------------------------
          of a Participant prior to the commencement of payment of Deferred
          Account for any year, the Participant's Beneficiary, may file a
          petition to accelerate payment of a Deferred Account for which no
          effective election as to time and method of payment has been filed.
          The Committee shall appoint an Outside Director to consider and act
          upon such petitions.  The Outside Director shall have sole discretion
          to approve or disapprove such petitions.  In the petition the
          Participant shall with respect to the Deferred Account specify a date
          for lump sum payment or

                                       4
<PAGE>

          a period to commence not later than the Participant's attainment of
          age seventy and one-half (70-1/2) or actual retirement, whichever is
          later, and not to end later than one hundred and twenty (120) months
          after the Participant would attain age seventy and one-half (70-1/2).

     e.   In-Service Payments.  The participant, in lieu of the provisions for
          -------------------
          payment of the Deferred Account set forth in Subsections 5.5 (a), (b)
          and (d) above, may elect payment to be made as follows: Twenty percent
          (20%) of the Deferred Account to be paid as soon as practical after
          the vesting date and as soon as possible after the amounts have been
          determined by the awarding company; thereafter in ratable annual
          installments in July of each of the following four years.

     f.   Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the President and Chief Executive
          Officer of the Company may determine in his or her sole discretion
          that one or more of the payment options in Subsections 5.5 (a), (b)
          and (d) above shall not be available with respect to any amounts
          payable under the Long-Term Performance Plan by so notifying the
          affected Participant or Participants at least 30 days prior to the
          time for filing the deferral election for which such options shall not
          be available.

     g.   Hardship.  Upon a showing of financial hardship, the Committee, in its
          --------
          sole discretion, may direct the Company or Participating Company to
          pay to a Participant (or, in the event of death, to a Participant's
          Beneficiary) in one lump sum a portion or all of the unpaid balance of
          such Participant's Deferred Account to the extent necessary to
          alleviate the hardship.  A "hardship" is an emergency beyond the
          control of the Participant (or his Beneficiary).

     h.   Minimum Balance.  Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in the event that a
          ---------------
          Participant's employment is terminated for any reason other than
          retirement and his undistributed balance (including accrued interest)
          under the Plan is $50,000 or less, including any balance to which in-
          service payment has been elected, on the last day of the full payroll
          period immediately prior to his termination, the amount of his
          Deferred Account, including any balance to which in-service payment
          has been elected, shall he paid in a lump sum within thirty (30) days
          after his termination of employment.

ARTICLE 6.  BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS
------------------------------------

     Upon commencement of participation, each Participant shall, by filing the
prescribed form with the Committee, name a person or persons as the Beneficiary
who will receive any distribution payable under the Plan in the event of the
Participant's death.  If the Participant has not named a Beneficiary or if none
of the named Beneficiaries is living when any payment is to be made, then (a)
the spouse of the deceased Participant shall be the Beneficiary, or (b) if the
Participant has no spouse living at the time of such payment, the then living
children of the deceased Participant shall be the Beneficiaries in equal shares,
or (c) if the Participant has neither spouse nor children living at the time of
such payment, the estate of the Participant shall be the Beneficiary.  The
Participant may change the designation of a Beneficiary from time to time in

                                       5
<PAGE>

accordance with procedures established by the Committee.  Any designation of a
Beneficiary (or an amendment or revocation thereof) shall be effective only if
it is made in writing on the prescribed form and is received by the Committee
prior to the Participant's death.

ARTICLE 7.  RIGHTS UNSECURED; LOSS OF INTERESTS
-----------------------------------------------

     7.1   A Participant's Interest under the Plan and a Participant's right to
receive payments from his Deferred Account (if any) under the Long-Term
Performance Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the
awarding Participating Company, and no special or separate fund shall be
established or other segregation of assets made to assure such payments;
provided, however, that the Participating Company may establish a bookkeeping
reserve to meet its obligations hereunder.  Nothing contained in the Plan and no
action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall create, or be
construed to create, a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between
the Participating Company or the Committee and any Participant or other person.
To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from a
Participating Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the
right of any unsecured general creditor of the Participating Company.

     7.2   A participant who has committed an act of Material Misconduct while
an employee of a Participating Company, shall lose all of his or her interest,
including any Right, under the Plan and shall not be entitled to receive any
payment with respect to any Right nor any payment from his Deferred Account (if
any) under the Plan.

ARTICLE 8.  NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
--------------------------------

     No provision of the Plan, nor any Right granted under the Plan, shall be
construed to give any person any right to remain an Employee.  The Participating
Companies reserve the right to terminate any person's service at any time, with
or without cause.

ARTICLE 9.  AMENDMENTS OR TERMINATION
-------------------------------------

     The Company may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and for
any reason.  No Rights shall be issued after the termination of the Plan.
Neither an amendment of the Plan or the termination thereof shall affect any
Right which has previously become vested.  The Committee may cancel a Right at
any time before such Right vests under Section 4.2.

          described in Section 4(a) and (b), respectively without regard to any
          dollar limitation on compensation contained in the HOPP.

                    (ii)   The offsets shall be (A) the benefits provided to
          Executive under any qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans
          of the Company (including, if applicable, any cash balance pension
          plan), (B) the benefits owed to Executive under any qualified or non-
          qualified defined benefit plans maintained by any prior employer of
          the Executive, and (C) the projected unreduced Social Security benefit
          of the Executive assuming constant earnings from the date of
          termination to his normal retirement age.

                    (iii)  Except as otherwise provided below, the supplemental
          pension benefit will vest 1/36th for each month of the Executive's
          Service (as defined in the HOPP on the Effective Date) with the
          Company after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
          Executive will forfeit all rights to the
<PAGE>

          supplemental pension benefit if, prior to September 30, 2002, the
          Company terminates the Executive's employment for Cause or if the
          Executive terminates employment with the Company other than for Good
          Reason. In the event the Company terminates the Executive's employment
          or the Executive shall resign for Good Reason within 12 months after a
          Change in Control (defined below), the supplemental pension benefit
          will fully vest and will be determined as set forth in paragraph
          (a)(i) above (A) using the years of Benefit Service and age Executive
          would have attained as of the last day of the Period of Employment
          (determined without regard to termination of employment) and (B)
          taking into account for purposes of determining Final Average
          Compensation, the salary and bonus-based termination benefits payable
          under this Agreement though the last day of the Period of Employment.

                    (iv)  The Executive may elect to receive the supplemental
          pension benefit at any time and in any form available under the HOPP
          or any non-qualified defined benefit plan of the Company as in effect
          on the Effective Date, or as may be available under any qualified or
          non-qualified defined benefit plan of the Company hereafter. For
          commencement of benefits prior to age 65, the supplemental pension
          benefit will be subject to reduction pursuant to the early retirement
          benefit provisions of the HOPP and non-qualified defined benefit plan
          as in effect on the Effective Date and shall be Determined as if the
          Executive is early retirement eligible (regardless of his attained age
          or years of Benefit Service at the time of termination of employment).

                    (v)   If the Executive dies after the Effective Date but
          before the supplemental pension benefit becomes payable, his wife will
          receive a supplemental survivor annuity for her life in an amount
          equal to 50% of the supplemental benefit that would have been payable
          to the Executive hereunder as if (i) he had terminated his employment
          immediately before his death, (ii) he was eligible for early
          retirement (regardless of his attained age or years of Benefit Service
          at the time of death), (iii) he was fully vested in the supplemental
          pension benefit as of such date, and (iv) he elected to receive the
          benefit in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity (as
          defined in the HOPP).

          (B)   REGULAR REIMBURSED BUSINESS EXPENSES.   The Company shall
promptly reimburse the Executive for all expenses and disbursements reasonably
incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder during the
Period of Employment and to the extent consistent with the applicable Company
policies. In addition, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable
expenses incurred to obtain any amounts owed to the Executive under Section
5(a)(ii)(B) above.

          (C)   BENEFIT PLANS.   The Executive and his eligible family members
shall be entitled to participate immediately, on terms no less favorable to the
Executive and his eligible family members than the terms generally offered to
senior executives of the Company, in any employee benefit plan or arrangement or
other fringe benefits of the Company, automobile
<PAGE>

allowance, club memberships and dues, and similar programs (collectively
referred to as the "Benefits"). In the event that any health programs or
insurance policies applicable to the Benefits provided hereunder contain a
preexisting conditions clause, or in the event that the Executive does not
qualify for disability insurance under the appropriate plan, the Company shall
either obtain a waiver from such provision with respect to the Executive and/or
his eligible family members or self-insure the Executive and/or his eligible
family members with respect to such conditions.

     6.   TERMINATION.

          (A)   DEATH OR DISABILITY.   This Agreement and the Period of
Employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive's death. The Company

after receipt by the Executive of notice given any time after a period of 120
consecutive days of Disability or a period of 180 days of Disability within any
12 consecutive months, and, in either case, while such Disability is continuing
("Disability Effective Date"). "Disability" means the Executive's inability to
substantially perform his duties hereunder, with or without reasonable
accommodation, as evidenced by a certificate signed by a physician mutually
acceptable to the Company and the Executive.

          (B)   BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE.  The Company may terminate the
Executive's employment for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, " Cause" shall

convicted of an act which is defined as a felony under federal or state law,
(ii) engaged in conduct that constitutes willful neglect or willful misconduct
with respect to employment duties under this Agreement, resulting, in either
case, in material economic harm to the Company or substantial damage to the
Company's reputation, or (iii) willful disobedience by the Executive of lawful
directions received from or policies established by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company or the Board of Directors, which continues for more
than 30 days after the Company notifies the Executive of its intention to
terminate his employment on account of such disobedience. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board may not terminate the Executive's employment for Cause
unless the Executive is given at least 30 days written notice of the Board
meeting called to make such determination, and the Executive is given the
opportunity to address such meeting, with the assistance of counsel if so
desired.

          (C)   BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON.  During the Period of Employment,
the Executive may terminate his employment within 90 days of any event that
constitutes Good Reason, provided that he has given not less than 30 days
advance notice to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason"
shall mean:

                (i)  the assignment to the Executive of any duties materially
     inconsistent with the Executive's position as President and Chief Executive
     Officer of the Company and that result in a significant diminution of
     responsibility;

               (ii)  any material failure by the Company to comply with the
     provisions of this Agreement;

               (iii) any removal of the Executive from his position as the
     President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, unless in any such

     other than on travel reasonably required to carry out the Executive's
     obligations under this Agreement.

          (D)  OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE OR GOOD REASON. The Company or the Executive
may terminate this Agreement for any reason other than for Cause or Good Reason,
respectively, upon not less than 30 days written notice to the Company or
Executive, as the case may be.

          (E)  NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination by the Company for Cause
or other than for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason or for other than
Good Reason, shall be communicated by notice of termination to the other party
not less than 30 days prior to the termination effective date. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Date of Termination" means the date specified in the Notice of
Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive's employment is terminated
by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of
death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.
