intended to constitute, in part, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan.
Pursuant to the authority granted under Section 8.06, the Plan is amended in its

4.   PARTICIPATION

pursuant to this section shall be equal to the average of the closing sales
prices for the Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Tape for each trading day in the period October 1, 1996 through December 31,
1996.

         5.02 Annual Award of Units. On the fifth business day of each Plan
Year, each Participant shall receive an award of 945 Units. Such awarded Units
shall be credited to each Participant's Account as specified in Section 5.04
below. Any Participant who was not a Participant on the fifth business day of
the Plan Year shall receive, on the date such individual becomes a Participant,
a pro-rata share of the annual award of Units determined based on the number of
calendar quarters during the Plan Year that such Participant is expected to
serve as a Director. A Director will be deemed to serve the entire quarter
during which he is a Director at least one day.

         5.03 Dividend Equivalents

            (a) Dividend Equivalent to be Credited. From the date of grant of
each Unit to a Participant until the Participant's Account has been fully
distributed, the Company shall credit to each Participant's Account on each
record date for the payment of a dividend by the Company on its Common Stock, an
amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent associated with the Units in the
Account.

            (b) Conversion to Units. On the last day of each Plan Year, the
amount of the Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant's Account during
that Plan Year shall be converted to a number of Units, based on the Unit Value
on that day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control
or in the event the Participant dies or Separates from Service prior to the last
day of the Plan Year, as soon as practicable following such event and in no
event later than the date on which Units are redeemed in accordance with Section
6, the Company shall convert the amount of the Dividend Equivalents credited to
the Participant's Account as of the date of the Change of Control, death or
Separation from Service (the "Conversion Date") to the number of Units based on
the Unit Value on the Conversion Date.

         5.04 Accounts. The Company shall keep records to reflect the number of
Units and Dividend Equivalents credited to each Participant hereunder; provided,
however, that no Participant or any other person shall under any circumstances
acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company. Fractional
Units shall accumulate in the Participant's Account and shall be added to
fractional Units held in such Account to create whole Units. Nothing contained
in this Plan and no action taken pursuant hereto shall create or be construed to
create a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or any
other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payment
from the Company hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of the Company.

                                       5

6.   EVENTS REQUIRING REDEMPTION OF UNITS

     The Company shall redeem Units credited to a Participant's Account only at
the times and in the manner prescribed by the further terms of this Section 6.
To determine the total amount to be paid, all redemptions shall be made by
providing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units being
redeemed; provided, however, that any fractional Units credited to a
Participant's Account shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the Unit Value
of such fractional Unit.

         6.01 Death. In the event a Participant dies, the Company shall redeem
all of the Units then credited to the Participant's Account. Any such redemption
shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary in the form of Common Stock.

         6.02 Separation from Service. In the event a Participant Separates from
Service, the Company shall redeem all of the Units then credited to the
Participant's Account as soon as practicable following such Separation from
Service. Any such redemption shall be paid in the form of Common Stock. A
Participant may elect to defer receipt of such payment until such Participant
attains a specific age, not to exceed the age of the Participant in January of
the Plan Year following the Participant's attainment of age seventy (70). In
addition, a Participant may elect to receive such payment in (i) a single
distribution or (ii) annual or quarterly installments over a period not to
exceed twenty (20) years. Both such elections made hereunder must be made no
later than December 31st of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year of Separation
from Service. Dividend Equivalents will be credited to such Participant's
Account in accordance with Section 5 until the full amount of the Participant's
Account has been distributed. Each installment payment shall be calculated by
dividing the Participant's total Account balance as of such payment date by the
number of payments remaining in the installment period.

         6.03 Change of Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, in
the event of a Change of Control of the Company, the Company shall redeem all of
the Units then credited to the Participant's Account. Any such redemption shall
be made in the form of cash. The amount paid shall equal the product of the
number of Units being redeemed multiplied by the then Unit Value. A Participant
may elect to defer receipt of such payment until such Participant attains a
specified age, not to exceed the age of the Participant in January of the Plan
Year following the Participant's attainment of age seventy (70). In addition, a
Participant may elect to receive such payment in (i) a single distribution or
(ii) annual or quarterly installments over a period not to exceed twenty (20)
years. Both such elections made hereunder must be made no later than December
31st of the calendar year preceding the year of the Change of Control.

7.   RETAINER AWARDS

         Annual Grants. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations
under applicable law, to grant to any Participant awards of Common Stock in lieu
of a portion of their annual retainer. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, the number of shares of Common Stock to be paid to Directors annually
under this Section 7 will be equal to (i) the amount by

                                       6
<PAGE>

which the annual retainer at the rates then in effect exceeds $18,500 divided by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the first day of the Plan
Year. The shares of Common Stock to be paid pursuant to this section will become
due on the fifth business day of each Plan Year. No fractional shares of Common
Stock will be granted; instead, the amount remaining will be paid to the
Participant in cash. As promptly as practicable, the Company will issue to the
Participant shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Participant
(or, if directed by the Participant, in joint names of the Participant and his
or her spouse). Any Participant who commences service during the Plan Year shall
receive a pro-rata share of the annual retainer, the same proportion of which
will be paid in Common Stock as was paid to a Director serving a full Plan Year,
determined based on the number of calendar quarters during the Plan Year that
the Participant is expected to serve as a Director.

8.   MISCELLANEOUS

         8.01 Transferability. No Unit awarded under this Plan shall be
transferred, assigned, pledged or encumbered by the Participant, and a Unit may
be redeemed during the lifetime of a Participant only from such Participant.

         8.02 No Rights as Shareholder. No Participant shall have any rights as
a shareholder of the Company, including the right to any cash dividends, or the
right to vote, as a result of the grant to the Participant, or the Participant's
holding of, any Units.

         8.03 Adjustment Upon Acquisitions, Dispositions or other Events not in
the Ordinary Course of Business. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if the Company's financial performance is affected by any event that
is of a non-recurring nature including an acquisition or disposition of the
assets or stock of a business, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may make
such adjustments in the number of Units or the Unit Value of each Unit for the
then current Plan Year as it shall determine to be equitable and appropriate in
order to make the value of each Unit, as nearly as may be practicable,
equivalent to the value of the Unit immediately prior to such event.

         8.04 No Rights to Service. Nothing in this Plan, and no action taken
pursuant hereto, shall affect the Participant's term of service as a Director.

         8.05 Notices. Any notice hereunder to be given to the Company shall be
in writing and shall be delivered in person to the Secretary of the Company, or
shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of
the Company at the Company's executive offices, and any notice hereunder to be
given to the Participant shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person to
the Participant, or shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested,
to the Participant at his last address as shown in the employment records of the
Company. Any notice duly mailed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall
be deemed given on the date postmarked.

         8.06 Termination and Amendment of the Plan/Modification of Units. The
Plan may be terminated, modified or amended by the Committee at any time, except
with respect to any

                                       7
<PAGE>

Units then outstanding under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may
accelerate the redemption of any Units then outstanding as if a redemption were
then being made under Section 6.

         8.07 Miscellaneous.

            (a) If the Company shall find that any person to whom any payment is
payable under this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or
accident, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim therefor shall
have been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee or other legal
representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or a brother or
sister, or to any person deemed by the Company to have incurred expense for such
person otherwise entitled to payment, in such manner and proportions as the
Company may determine. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the
liabilities of the Company under this Plan.

            (b) This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Company, its successors and assigns and the Participant and his heirs,
executors, administrators and legal representatives.

by, the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have authority, in its complete
discretion, to determine the Employees to whom, and the time or times at which,
Options will be granted, the number of shares to be subject to each Option, the
Option Price to be paid for the shares upon the exercise of each Option, and the
period within which each Option may be exercised. In making such determinations,
the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by an
Employee, the present and potential contributions of the Employee to the
Company's success and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion
deems relevant. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee
will also have authority to construe and interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend
and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the terms and
provisions of the respective stock option agreements required by Section 7.2 of
the Plan (which need not be identical), and to make all other determinations
(including factual determinations) necessary or advisable for the orderly
administration of the Plan. A Stock option agreement as discussed below shall be
executed by each Participant receiving a grant under the Plan and shall
constitute that Participant's acknowledgement and acceptance of the terms of the
Plan and the Committee's authority and discretion. It is the intent of the
Company that the Plan should comply in all applicable respects with Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act so that transactions relating to any Option and Dividend
Equivalents granted to a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act shall be exempt under Rule 16b-3. Accordingly, if any provision

                                       3
<PAGE>

of the Plan or any agreement relating to an Option does not comply with the
requirements of Rule 16b-3 as then applicable to any such Participant, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to
conform to such requirements with respect to such Participant. Any other
provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the Board may perform any function of the
Committee under the Plan, including without limitation for the purpose of
ensuring that transactions under the Plan by Participants who are subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company are exempt under Rule
16b-3. In any case in which the Board is performing a function of the Committee
under the Plan, each reference to the Committee herein shall be deemed to refer
to the Board (unless the context shall otherwise require).

6.   ELIGIBILITY

     Options may be granted only to Employees (including directors who are also
Employees of the Company) who, in the sole judgment of the Committee, are
designated by the Committee as individuals who are in a position to
significantly participate in the development and implementation of the Company's
strategic plans and thereby contribute materially to the continued growth and
development of the Company and to its future financial success.

7.   OPTIONS

     7.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.11 and 3,
Options may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as may
be determined by the Committee. The Committee will have complete discretion in
determining the number of Options granted to each Participant and the number of
shares of Stock subject to such Options.

     7.2 Option Agreement. As determined by the Committee on the Date of Grant,
each Option will be evidenced by a stock option agreement (substantially in the
form included in Exhibit 2 attached hereto) that shall, among other things,
specify the Date of Grant, the Option Price, the duration of the Option and the
number of shares of Stock to which the Option pertains.

     7.3 Exercise and Vesting.

         (a) Except as otherwise specified by the Committee, an Option shall be
fully and immediately exercisable on the Date of Grant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any such Options are not by their terms immediately
exercisable, the Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any or all
outstanding Options at any time for any reason. No Option shall be exercisable
on or after the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.

         (b) Except as otherwise specified by the Committee, in the event that a
Participant holding an Option ceases to be an Employee, the Option held by such
Participant shall be exercisable only with respect to that number of shares of
Stock with respect to which it is already exercisable on the date such
Participant ceases to be an Employee. However, if a Participant holding an
Option ceases to be an Employee by reason of (i) a retirement under the
Company's retirement plan, (ii) Termination without Cause, (iii) disability, or
(iv) death, the Option held by any such Participant shall thereafter become
immediately exercisable with

                                       4
<PAGE>

respect to the total number of shares of Stock available under such Option and
shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the expiration date of the Option
or the expiration of the thirteen (13) month period following the date of such
cessation of employment.

         (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any merger or
consolidation of any other corporation with or into UGI, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of UGI or an offer to purchase made by a party
other than UGI to all shareholders of UGI for all or any substantial portion of
the outstanding Stock, a participant shall be permitted to exercise all
outstanding Options (to the extent not otherwise exercisable by their terms)
prior to the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale or the
expiration of any such offer to purchase, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such
transaction or the expiration of such offer.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.3 with respect
to the number of shares of Stock subject to an Option with respect to which such
Option is or is to become exercisable, no Option, to the extent that it has not
previously been exercised, shall be exercisable after it has terminated,
including without limitation, after any termination of such Option pursuant to
Sections 11, 12 and 13 hereof.

     7.4 Payment. The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable
to the Company in full (i) in cash or its equivalent, (ii) by tendering shares
of previously acquired Stock already beneficially owned by the Participant for
more than one year and having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal
to the total Option Price, (iii) by applying Dividend Equivalents payable to the
Participant in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan in an amount equal to the
total Option Price, (iv) by payment through a broker in accordance with
procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, (v) by such
other method as the Committee may approve, or (vi) by a combination of (i),
(ii), (iii), (iv) and/or (v). The cash proceeds from such payment will be added
to the general funds of the Company and shall be used for its general corporate
purposes. Any shares of Stock tendered to UGI in payment of the Option Price
will be added by UGI to its Treasury Stock to be used for its general corporate
purposes.

8.   DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

     8.1 Amount of Dividend Equivalents Credited. From the Date of Grant of an
Option to a Participant (or, in the case of an Option granted after the date of
commencement of a Performance Period to a new Participant or to a Participant
with changed responsibilities, in which event, from such date not earlier than
the date of commencement of the Performance Period as is designated by the
Committee) until the earlier of (i) the end of the applicable Performance Period
or (ii) the date of disability, death or termination of employment for any
reason (including retirement), of a participant, the Company shall keep records
for such Participant ("Account") and shall credit on each payment date for the
payment of a dividend made by UGI on its Stock an amount equal to the Dividend
Equivalent associated with such Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Participant may not accrue during any calendar year Dividend Equivalents in
excess of $1,000,000. Except as set forth in Section 8.5 below, no interest
shall be credited to any such Account.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     8.2 Payment of Credited Dividend Equivalents. The Committee will determine
(no later than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Performance
Period) and set forth on Exhibit 1 measurable criteria pursuant to which the
total return realizable by a shareholder of the Company on a share of Stock over
the applicable Performance Period can be compared to that realizable over the
same Performance Period by shareholders of the Comparison Group. The extent to
which a Participant receives payment of the Dividend Equivalents associated with
an Option and recorded in his Account during any particular Performance Period
shall be determined by comparing (through use of the selected measurable
criteria) the aforementioned total return realizable by a shareholder of the
Company to that realizable by shareholders of the Comparison Group. Payments
shall be made after the end of the applicable Performance Period according to
the following table (with results falling between table values being
interpolated):

</TABLE>

     8.3 Timing of Payment of Dividend Equivalents.

         (a) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of
the (i) termination of an Option prior to exercise pursuant to Sections 11, 12
or 13 hereof, or (ii) acceleration of the exercise date of an Option pursuant to
Section 7.3 hereof, in either case prior to the end of the applicable
Performance Period, no payments of Dividend Equivalents associated with any
Option shall be made (A) prior to the end of the applicable Performance Period
and (B) to any Participant whose employment by the Company terminates prior to
the end of the applicable Performance Period for any reason other than
retirement under the Company's retirement plan, death, disability or Termination
without Cause. As soon as practicable after the end of such Performance Period,
the Committee will certify and announce the results for each Performance Period
prior to any payment of Dividend Equivalents and unless a Participant shall have
made an election under Section 8.6 to defer receipt of any portion of such
amount, a Participant shall receive the aggregate amount of Dividend Equivalents
payable to him.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3,
unless a payment of Dividend Equivalents associated with an Option is being made
upon full exercise or termination of such Option, no Dividend Equivalents shall
be paid (either at the end of the applicable Performance Period or on a date
such Dividend Equivalents are scheduled to be paid pursuant to a deferral
election) if the average Fair Market Value of Stock for a period of thirty (30)
consecutive business days immediately preceding the end of the applicable
Performance Period or the date such deferred payment is scheduled to be made (as
the case may be) is less than the exercise price of the Option to which such
Dividend Equivalents were associated, and such payment shall instead be made at
the earlier of (i) such time as the average Fair Market Value of Stock over a
period of ninety (90) consecutive business days thereafter exceeds the exercise
price of such Option, or (ii) the termination or expiration date of such Option.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     8.4 Form of Payment for Dividend Equivalents. The Committee shall have the
sole discretion to determine whether the Company's obligation in respect of
payment of Dividend Equivalents shall be paid solely in credits to be applied
toward payment of the Option Price, solely in cash or partly in such credits and
partly in cash.

     8.5 Interest on Dividend Equivalents. From a date which is thirty (30) days
after the end of the applicable Performance Period until the date that all
Dividend Equivalents associated with such Option and payable to a Participant
are paid to such Participant, the Account maintained by the Company in its books
and records with respect to such Dividend Equivalents shall be credited with
interest at a market rate determined by the Committee.

     8.6 Deferral of Dividend Equivalents. A Participant shall have the right to
defer receipt of any Dividend Equivalent payments associated with an Option if
he shall elect to do so on or prior to December 31 of the year preceding the
beginning of the last full year of the applicable Performance Period (or such
other time as the Committee shall determine is appropriate to make such deferral
effective under the applicable requirements of federal tax laws). The terms and
conditions of any such deferral (including the period of time thereof) shall be
subject to approval by the Committee and all deferrals shall be made on a form
provided a Participant for this purpose.

9.   WRITTEN NOTICE, ISSUANCE OF STOCK, SHAREHOLDER PRIVILEGES AND PARTIAL
     EXERCISE

     9.1 Written Notice. A Participant wishing to exercise an Option must give
irrevocable written notice to the Company in the form and manner prescribed by
the Committee, indicating the date of award, the number of shares as to which
the Option is being exercised, and such other information as may be required by
the Committee. Full payment for the shares pursuant to the Option must be
received by the time specified by the Committee depending on the type of payment
being made, but in all cases, prior to the issuance of the Shares. Except as
provided in Sections 11, 12 and 13, no Option may be exercised at any time
unless the Participant is then an Employee of the Company.

     9.2 Issuance of Stock. As soon as practicable after the receipt of
irrevocable written notice and payment, the Company will, without stock transfer
taxes to the Participant or to any other person entitled to exercise an Option
pursuant to this Plan, deliver to, or credit electronically on behalf of, the
Participant, the Participant's designee or such other person the requisite
number of shares of Stock.

     9.3 Privileges of a Shareholder. A Participant or any other person entitled
to exercise an Option under this Plan will have no rights as a shareholder with
respect to any Stock covered by the Option until the due exercise of the Option
and issuance of such Stock.

     9.4 Partial Exercise. An Option granted under this Plan may be exercised as
to any lesser number of shares than the full amount for which it could be
exercised. Such a partial

                                       7
<PAGE>

exercise of an Option will not affect the right to exercise the Option from time
to time in accordance with this Plan as to the remaining shares subject to the
Option.

10.  NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

     No Option, rights to Dividend Equivalents or other rights granted under the
Plan shall be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and an Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Participant, only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may provide that a Participant may transfer Options to family members
or other persons or entities according to such terms as the Committee may
determine; provided that the Participant receives no consideration for the
transfer of an Option and the transferred Option shall continue to be subject to
the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Option immediately
before the transfer.

11.  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT (OTHER THAN BY REASON OF DEATH OR DISABILITY)

     Each Option, to the extent that it has not previously been exercised, will
terminate when the Participant holding such Option (while living) ceases to be
an Employee of the Company, unless such cessation of employment is (i) on
account of a Termination without Cause, or (ii) a retirement under the Company's
retirement plan, in either of which events the Option shall be fully and
immediately exercisable (to the extent not otherwise exercisable by its terms)
and will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the
expiration of the thirteen (13) month period following the date of such
cessation of employment. The Committee will have authority to determine whether
an authorized leave of absence or absence on military or governmental service
will constitute a termination of employment for the purposes of this Plan. The
Committee shall have sole discretion to determine the effect of any change in
the duties and responsibilities of a Participant while that Participant
continues to be an Employee of the Company on Options granted under this Plan
which are not then exercisable and on Dividend Equivalents not then payable
under Section 8.3 of the Plan.

12.  DISABILITY

     If a Participant is determined to be "disabled" (as defined under the
Company's long-term disability plan), the Option theretofore granted to such
Participant shall be fully and immediately exercisable (to the extent not
otherwise exercisable by its terms) at any time prior to the earlier of the
expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the thirteen (13) month
period following the date of such determination.

13.  DEATH OF PARTICIPANT

     In the event of the death of a Participant while employed by the Company,
the Option theretofore granted to such Participant shall be fully and
immediately exercisable (to the extent not otherwise exercisable by its terms)
at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the
expiration of the thirteen (13) month period following the Participant's death.
Death of a Participant after such Participant has ceased to be employed by the
Company will not

                                       8
<PAGE>

affect the otherwise applicable period for exercise of the Option determined
pursuant to Section 11 or 12. Such Option may be exercised by the estate of the
Participant or by any person to whom the Participant may have bequeathed the
Option or whom the Participant may have designated to exercise the same under
the Participant's last will, or by the Participant's personal representatives if
the Participant has died intestate.

14.  ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER AND PRICE OF SHARES, ETC.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event any
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, exchange of shares or other securities of UGI, stock split or
reverse split, extraordinary dividend, liquidation, dissolution, significant
corporate transaction (whether relating to assets or stock) involving UGI, or
other extraordinary transaction or event affects Stock such that an adjustment
is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of Participants' rights under the Plan, then the Committee may, in a
manner that is equitable, adjust (i) any or all of the number or kind of shares
of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number of shares
of Stock which may be the subject of grants to any one individual in any
calendar year, (iii) the number or kind of shares of Stock to be subject to
Options thereafter granted under the Plan, (iv) the number and kind of shares of
Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options, (v) the Option Price per
share thereof, and/or (vi) the terms and conditions applicable to Dividend
Equivalents, provided that the number of shares subject to any Option will
always be a whole number. Any such determination of adjustments by the Committee
will be conclusive for all purposes of the Plan and of each Option, whether a
stock option agreement with respect to a particular Option has been theretofore
or is thereafter executed.

15.  LIMITATION OF RIGHTS

     Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed to give an Employee any
right to be granted an Option except as may be authorized in the discretion of
the Committee. The granting of an Option under this Plan shall not constitute or
be evidence of any agreement or understanding, expressed or implied, that the
Company will employ a Participant for any specified period of time, in any
specific position or at any particular rate of remuneration.

16.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

     Subject to Board approval, the Committee may at any time, and from time to
time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan without the consent of the
Company's shareholders or Participants, except that any such alteration,
amendment, suspension or termination shall be subject to the approval of the
Company's shareholders within one year after such Committee and Board action if
such shareholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation
or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the
Stock is then listed or quoted, or if the Committee in its discretion determines
that obtaining such shareholder approval is for any reason advisable. No
termination or amendment of this Plan may, without the consent of the
Participant to whom any Option has previously been granted, adversely affect the
rights of such Participant under such Option, including the Dividend Equivalents
associated with such Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may
make minor amendments to

                                       9
<PAGE>
this Plan which do not materially affect the rights of Participants or
significantly increase the cost to the Company.

17.  TAX WITHHOLDING

     Upon exercise of any Option under this Plan, the Company will require the
recipient of the Stock to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy
federal, state and local withholding tax requirements. However, to the extent
authorized by rules and regulations of the Committee, the Company may withhold
or receive Stock and make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a
recipient's tax obligations, including tax obligations in excess of mandatory
withholding requirements.

18.  GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL

     Each Option will be subject to the requirement that if at any time the
listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered thereby upon any
securities exchange, or under any state or federal law, or the consent or
approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a
condition of or in connection with the granting of such Option or the purchase
of shares thereunder, no such Option may be exercised in whole or in part unless
and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has
been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.

19.  EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

     This Plan will become effective as of December 10, 1996, subject to
ratification by the Company's shareholders prior to December 10, 1997.

20.  SUCCESSORS

     This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company,
its successors and assigns and the Participant and his heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives.

21.  GOVERNING LAW

     The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of the Plan and
option agreements issued under the Plan shall be governed exclusively by and
determined in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

3.   COMPARISON CRITERIA

     For purposes of the Plan, "Total Return" is the change in the market value
of one share of common stock of each company in the Comparison Group over the
Performance Period, plus the amount of dividends paid or the value of other
distributions made with respect to such stock, reinvested in the stock, over the
same period.

     The initial market value of each share of common stock to be measured
during the Performance Period (January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1999) will
be the average of the closing prices of each such stock on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Tape for all trading days during the three calendar months
prior to the commencement of the Performance Period.

     The final market value of each share of common stock to be measured will be
the average of the closing prices for such stock on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite Tape for all trading days during the final three months of the
Performance Period.
