as  alternatives  to or replacement of awards outstanding under the Plan, or any

SAR  is  granted;  except that the Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of

     Option shall be paid at the time of such exercise (except that, in the case
     of  an  exercise  arrangement  approved  by  the Committee and described in
     paragraph  2.4(c),  payment  may  be  made as soon as practicable after the
     exercise).

(b)  The  Exercise  Price  shall  be  payable in cash or by tendering, by either
     actual  delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of Stock acceptable to

     day  of  exercise,  or  in  any  combination  thereof, as determined by the
     Committee.

              ---------------------
exercise  of  an option or SAR shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions
and  contingencies  as  the  Committee  may  establish  in  the applicable Award
Agreement.  Settlement  of  SARs may be made in shares of Stock (valued at their

thereof,  as  determined  in the discretion of the Committee.  The Committee, in
its  discretion, may impose such conditions, restrictions and contingencies with
respect  to shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option or an
SAR  as  the  Committee  determines  to  be  desirable.

a  Subsidiary  assumed  in  business  combinations.

subject  to  the  Award (both before and after the Stock subject to the Award is
earned,  vested,  or  acquired),  which payments may be either made currently or
credited  to an account for the Participant, and may be settled in cash or Stock
as  determined by the Committee. Any such settlements, and any such crediting of
dividends  or  dividend  equivalents  or reinvestment in shares of Stock, may be
subject  to  such  conditions,  restrictions  and contingencies as the Committee

resolved  by  the  Committee.

revocation  thereof, shall be in writing filed with the Committee at such times,

be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its board of
directors,  or  by  action  of  one  or  more  members of the board (including a
committee of the board) who are duly authorized to act for the board, or (except
to  the  extent  prohibited  by  applicable law or applicable rules of any stock
exchange)  by  a  duly  authorized  officer  of  such  company.

     4.12.  Gender  and  Number.  Where  the context admits, words in any gender
            --------------------
shall  include  any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural

     4.13.  Limitation  of  Implied  Rights.
            --------------------------------

(a)  Neither  a  Participant  nor  any  other  person  shall,  by  reason  of
     participation  in  the  Plan,  acquire any right in or title to any assets,
     funds  or  property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including,
     without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which the
     Company  or  any  Subsidiary,  in  their  sole discretion, may set aside in
     anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a
     contractual  right to the Stock or amounts, if any, payable under the Plan,
     unsecured  by  any  assets  of  the  Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing
     contained  in  the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the
     Company  or  any  Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any
     person.

(b)  The  Plan  does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a
     Participant will not give any participating person the right to be retained
     in  the  employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any right or claim to
     any  benefit  under  the  Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically
     accrued  under  the  terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the
     Plan,  no  Award  under  the  Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any
     rights  as  a  shareholder  of  the  Company prior to the date on which the
     individual  fulfills  all  conditions  for  receipt  of  such  rights.

accordance  with  this  Section 5. The Committee shall be selected by the Board,
and  shall  consist  solely  of  one  or  more  members of the Board who are not
employees.  If  the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined

     5.2.  Powers of Committee. The Committee's administration of the Plan shall
           -------------------
be  subject  to  the  following:

(a)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  Plan,  the  Committee  will have the
     authority  and  discretion  to select from among the Eligible Persons those
     persons  who  shall  receive  Awards,  to  determine  the  time or times of
     receipt,  to determine the types of Awards and the number of shares covered
     by  the  Awards,  to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria,
     restrictions,  and  other  provisions  of  such Awards, and (subject to the
     restrictions  imposed  by  Section  6)  to  cancel  or  suspend  Awards.

(b)  To  the  extent that the Committee determines that the restrictions imposed
     by the Plan preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the Awards
     in  jurisdictions  outside  the  United States, the Committee will have the
     authority  and  discretion  to  modify  those restrictions as the Committee
     determines  to  be  necessary  or  appropriate  to  conform  to  applicable
     requirements  or  practices  of jurisdictions outside of the United States.

(c)  The Committee will have the authority and discretion to interpret the Plan,
     to  establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the

     pursuant  to  the  Plan,  and  to make all other determinations that may be
     necessary  or  advisable  for  the  administration  of  the  Plan.

(d)  Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it
     under  the  Plan  is  final  and  binding  on  all  persons.

(e)  In  controlling  and managing the operation and administration of the Plan,
     the  Committee  shall take action in a manner that conforms to the articles
     and  by-laws  of  the  Company,  and  applicable  state  corporate  law.

          -----------------------
law  or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may allocate all

or  any  portion  of  its  responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its
members  and  may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to
any  person  or persons selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be
revoked  by  the  Committee  at  any  time.

     5.4. Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Company and Subsidiaries
          ----------------------------------------
shall  furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines may
be  required  for  it  to  discharge  its duties. The records of the Company and
Subsidiaries  as to a Participant's employment, termination of employment, leave
of  absence,  reemployment  and  compensation shall be conclusive on all persons
unless  determined  to  be incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to
benefits  under  the  Plan  must  furnish  the  Committee such evidence, data or
information  as  the Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the
Plan.

     The  Board  may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, provided that no
amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by
the  affected  Participant  (or,  if  the  Participant  is  not then living, the
affected  beneficiary),  adversely  affect  the  rights  of  any  Participant or
beneficiary  under  any  Award  granted  under  the  Plan prior to the date such
amendment is adopted by the Board; provided that adjustments pursuant to subject
to  subsection  4.2(e) shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations of this
Section  6.

                                    ---------
