superior performance by means of performance-related incentives, encouraging and

4. MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS.

     (a) Maximum Number of Shares.

     The maximum number of Common Shares in respect of which Awards may be made
under the Plan shall be a total of 650,000 Common Shares. The maximum number of
Common Shares in respect of which Awards may be granted to a Participant under
this Plan in any 12-month period shall not exceed 200,000 shares, as each such
number may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(c). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, whenever shares are received by the Company in connection with
the exercise of or payment for any Award granted under the Plan, only the net
number of shares actually issued shall be counted against the foregoing limits
of 650,000 Common Shares and 200,000 Common Shares, respectively, except that
the aggregate number of Common Shares which may be issued upon exercise of
Incentive Stock Options shall in no event exceed 650,000 shares (as such number
may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof).

     (b) Shares Available for Issuance.

     Common Shares may be made available from the authorized but unissued shares
of the Company or from shares held in the Company's treasury and not reserved
for some other purpose. In the event that any Award is payable solely in cash,
no shares shall be deducted from the number of shares available for issuance
under Section 4(a) by reason of such Award. In addition, if any Award under this
Plan in respect of shares is canceled or forfeited for any reason without
delivery of Common Shares, the shares subject to such Award shall thereafter
again be available for award pursuant to this Plan.

     (c) Adjustment for Corporate Transactions.

     In the event that the Committee shall determine that any stock dividend,
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or
rights offering to purchase Common Shares, or other similar event affects the
Common Shares such that an adjustment is required to preserve, or to prevent
enlargement of, the benefits or potential benefits made available under this
Plan, then the Committee may, in such manner as the Committee may deem
equitable, (A) adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares which
thereafter may be awarded or optioned and sold or made the subject of Stock
Appreciation Rights under the Plan, (ii) the number and kinds of shares subject
to outstanding Options and other Awards and (iii) the grant, exercise or
conversion price with respect to any of the foregoing, or (B) with respect to a
person who has an outstanding Option, make provisions for a cash payment of any
extraordinary cash dividend or as an alternative means (in whole or in part) of
affecting any adjustment deemed required by the Committee to preserve, or to
prevent enlargement of, the benefits or potential benefits made available under
this Plan with respect to such Option. However, the number of shares subject to
any Option or other Award shall always be a whole number.


                                       5

5. STOCK OPTIONS.

     (a) Grant.

     Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the
authority to grant Options to an Eligible Employee and to determine (i) the
number of shares to be covered by each Option, (ii) the exercise price therefor
and (iii) the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the
Option. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options
or Nonstatutory Stock Options; provided that Incentive Stock Options may not be
granted to any Participant who is not an employee of the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries at the time of grant. In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the
terms and conditions of such grants shall be subject to and comply with Section
422 of the Code.

     (b) Option Price.

     The Committee shall establish the exercise price at the time each Option is
granted, which price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
Common Shares at the date of grant, except that, for purposes of satisfying the
foregoing requirement with respect to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the Committee
may elect to credit against the exercise price payable by a Participant the
value of any compensation otherwise payable to the Participant under the terms
of the Company's compensation practices and programs which is surrendered,
foregone or exchanged pursuant to such rules or procedures as the Committee
shall establish from time to time.

     (c) Exercise.

     Each Option shall be exercised at such times and subject to such terms and
conditions as the Committee may specify in the applicable Award or thereafter;
provided, however, that if the Committee does not establish a different exercise
schedule at or after the date of grant of an Option, such Option shall become
exercisable in full on the third anniversary of the date the Option is granted.
The Committee may impose such conditions with respect to the exercise of
Options, as it shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, any
conditions relating to the application of federal or state securities laws. No
shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option unless
arrangements satisfactory to the Committee have been made to assure full payment
of the option price therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
payment of the option price may be made in cash or its equivalent or, if and to
the extent permitted by the Committee, by exchanging Common Shares owned by the
optionee (which are not the subject of any pledge or other security interest),
or by a combination of the foregoing, provided that the combined value of all
cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any such Common Shares so
tendered to the Company, valued as of the date of such tender, is at least equal
to such option price. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the method of
payment shall be determined at the time of grant.

     (d) Termination of Employment.

     Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine at or after grant, an Option
shall be exercisable following the termination of a Participant's Employment
only to the extent provided in this Section 5(d). If a Participant's Employment
terminates due to the Participant's (i) death or, (ii) Disability, or (iii)
Normal Retirement, the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant's death
or Disability during Employment or during the period during which an Option is


                                       6
<PAGE>

exercisable under this sentence, the Participant's beneficiary or legal
representative) may exercise any Option held by the Participant at the time of
such termination, regardless of whether then exercisable, (that is, vested and
of value above the grant price) for a period of three years (or such greater or
lesser period as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), but in no
event after the date the Option otherwise expires. If a Participant's Employment
is terminated for Cause (or, if after the Participant's termination of
Employment, the Committee determines that the Participant's Employment could
have been terminated for Cause had the Participant still been employed or has
otherwise engaged in conduct that is detrimental to the interests of the
Company, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), all Options
held by the Participant shall immediately terminate, regardless of whether then
exercisable. In the event of a Participant's termination of Employment for any
reason not described in the preceding two sentences, the Participant (or, in the
event of the Participant's death or Disability during the period during which an
Option is exercisable under this sentence, the Participant's beneficiary, estate
or legal representative) may exercise any Option which was exercisable at the
time of such termination for 90 days (or such greater or lesser period as the
Committee shall specify at or after the grant of such Option) following the date
of such termination, but in no event after the date the Option otherwise
expires. Options not vested at the time of termination for any reason shall be
forfeited, except by action of the Committee.

     (e) Reload Options.

     The Committee may provide that a Participant (or, if applicable, the
Participant's permitted transferee) who delivers Common Shares that have been
owned by such Participant (or permitted transferee) for any minimum period of
time specified by the Committee to exercise an Option or an option granted under
the Predecessor Plans, will automatically (to the extent Common Shares are
available for Awards under the Plan) be granted new Options ("Reload Options")
for a number of Common Shares equal to the number of shares so delivered. Unless
the Committee determines otherwise, such Reload Options will be subject to the
same terms and conditions (including the same expiration date) as the related
Option except (i) that the exercise price shall be equal to the Fair Market
Value of a Common Share on the date such Reload Option is granted and (ii) such
Reload Option shall not be exercisable prior to the six month anniversary of the
date of grant and, thereafter, shall be exercisable in full.

6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

     (a) Grant of SARs.

     The Committee shall have the authority to grant Stock Appreciation Rights
in tandem with an Option, in addition to an Option, or freestanding and
unrelated to an Option. Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem or in
addition to an Option may be granted either at the same time as the Option or at
a later time. Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of ten years from the date of grant and shall have an exercise price
determined in the same manner as, and subject to the same conditions as apply
with respect to, a Nonstatutory Stock Option under Section 5(b).


                                       7
<PAGE>

     (b) Exercise of SARs.

     A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive from
the Company an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Common
Share on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right over the exercise
price thereof. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which or the
event or events (including, without limitation, a Change of Control) upon which
a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part, the method of
exercise and whether such Stock Appreciation Right shall be settled in cash,
Common Shares or a combination of cash and Common Shares; provided, however,
that unless otherwise specified by the Committee at or after grant, a Stock
Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option shall be exercisable only at
the same time or times as the related Option is exercisable.

7. RESTRICTED SHARES.

     (a) Grant of Restricted Shares.

     The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Shares with or without
performance criteria to Eligible Employees at such times and in such amounts,
and subject to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan,
as it shall determine. Each grant of Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by an
Award agreement. Unless the Committee provides otherwise at or after the date of
grant, stock certificates evidencing any Restricted Shares so granted shall be
held in the custody of the Secretary of the Company until the Restricted Period
lapses, and, as a condition to the grant of any Award of Restricted Shares, the
Participant shall have delivered to the Secretary of the Company a certificate,
endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Shares covered by such Award.

     (b) Restricted Period; Vesting.

     The Committee shall determine the Restricted Period applicable to any Award
of Restricted Shares and shall include the Restricted Period in the Award
agreement referenced in Section 7(a), above. Notwithstanding the Restricted
Period set forth in the Award agreement, the Committee may accelerate the
vesting of any Award of Restricted Shares or revise or waive any performance or
other conditions with respect to the vesting of any such Award at any time.

     (c) Delivery of Shares.

     When part or all of an Award of Restricted Shares becomes vested (that is,
when the Restricted Period ends or upon the accelerated date selected by the
Committee) and the performance and other conditions with respect to the Award,
if any, are satisfied (as determined by the Committee) or waived by the
Committee, a stock certificate for the number of vested Common Shares with
respect to the Award shall be delivered, free of all restrictions, except any
that may be imposed by law, to the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary,
estate or legal representative, as the case may be. No payment will be required
to be made by the Participant upon the delivery of such Common Shares and/or
cash, except as otherwise provided in Section 11(a) of the Plan.


                                       8
<PAGE>

     (d) Termination of Employment.

     If a Participant terminates Employment and, at that time, has an Award of
Restricted Shares that are not yet vested, the non-vested portion of the Award
will be forfeited as of the Participant's date of termination. However, if the
Participant terminates employment as a result of his (i) death or (ii)
Disability, that portion (described below) of the non-vested Award will become
vested upon the Participant's termination of Employment. Except as provided in
the next sentence, the portion of the non-vested Award which becomes vested
pursuant to this paragraph equals the number of Restricted Shares subject to
such Award multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days actually worked during the Restricted Period and the denominator of which
is the total number of days during the Restricted Period. If a portion of the
Award became vested before the end of the Restricted Period (i.e., pursuant to
Committee acceleration), the portion of the non-vested Award which becomes
vested pursuant to this paragraph equals the number of non-vested Restricted
Shares subject to such Award multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days actually worked since the most recent acceleration of vesting
during the Restricted Period and the denominator of which is the total number of
days during the Restricted Period after the most recent acceleration of vesting.

     (e) Rights as a Shareholder; Dividends.

     Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the date of grant,
Participants granted Restricted Shares shall be entitled to vote the shares and
to receive, either currently or at a future date, as specified by the Committee,
all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those shares,
provided that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in Common Shares
or other property (other than cash), such shares and other property shall be
subject to the same forfeiture restrictions and restrictions on transferability
as apply to the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. The
Committee will determine whether and to what extent to credit to the account of,
or to pay currently to, each recipient of Restricted Shares, an amount equal to
any dividends paid by the Company during the Restricted Period with respect to
the corresponding number of Common Shares. To the extent provided by the
Committee at or after the date of grant, any dividends with respect to cash
dividends on the Common Shares credited to a Participant's account shall be
deemed to have been invested in Common Shares on the record date established for
the related dividend and, accordingly, a number of additional Restricted Shares
shall be credited to such Participant's account equal to the greatest whole
number which may be obtained by dividing (x) the value of such dividend on the
record date by (y) the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on such date.

8. PERFORMANCE AWARDS.

     (a) Performance Shares and Performance Units.

     Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the
authority to grant Performance Shares and Performance Units to any Eligible
Employee and to determine (i) the number of Performance Shares and the number of
Performance Units to be granted to each Participant and (ii) the other terms and
conditions of such Awards. The Performance Period related to Performance Shares
or Performance Units shall lapse upon the determination by the Committee that
the performance objectives established by the Committee have been attained, in
whole or in part on the date established by the Committee. Such performance
objectives may be related to the performance of (i) the Company, (ii) a
Subsidiary, (iii) a division or unit of the Company or any Subsidiary, (v) the
Participant or (vi) any combination of the foregoing, over a measurement period
or periods established by the Committee. Unless the Committee otherwise
determines at the time of grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units to an
Executive Officer, the performance objectives with respect to such Award shall
include at least one of the following criteria, which may be determined solely
by reference to the performance of the Company or a Subsidiary or based on
comparative performance relative to other companies: (i) total return to
shareholders, (ii) return on equity, (iii) operating income or net income, (iv)
return on capital, (v) economic value added, (vi) earnings per Common Share, or
(vii) market price of the Common Shares. Except to the extent otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Committee may, at any time and from time to time,
change the performance objectives applicable with respect to any Performance
Shares or Performance Units to reflect such factors, including, without
limitation, changes in a Participant's duties or responsibilities or changes in
business objectives (e.g., from corporate to Subsidiary or business unit
performance or vice versa), as the Committee shall deem necessary or
appropriate. Payment for Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be made
by the Company in Common Shares, cash or in any combination thereof, as
determined by the Committee.

     (b) Termination of Employment.

     Unless the Committee otherwise determines at or after grant, the rights of
a Participant with respect to an Award of Performance Shares or Performance
Units outstanding at the time of the Participant's termination of Employment
shall be determined under this Section 8(b). In the event that a Participant's
Employment terminates due to the Participant's (i) death, (ii) Disability, or
(iii) Normal Retirement, any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units
shall become vested and nonforfeitable at the end of the measurement period as
to that number of shares or units which is equal to that percentage, if any, of
such award that would have been earned based on the attainment or partial
attainment of such performance objectives. In all other cases, any portion of
any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units that has not become
nonforfeitable at the date of a Participant's termination of Employment shall be
forfeited as of such date.

     (c) Awards Nontransferable.

     Performance Shares or Performance Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged
or otherwise encumbered, except as herein provided, during the Performance
Period.


                                       10
<PAGE>

     (d) Award of Dividend Equivalents.

     Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the date of grant,
Participants granted Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be entitled
to receive, either currently or at a future date, as specified by the Committee,
all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those shares and
units, provided that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in Common
Shares or other property (other than cash), such shares and units and other
property shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions and restrictions
on transferability as apply to the Performance Shares and Performance Units with
respect to which they were paid. The Committee will determine whether and to
what extent to credit to the account of, or to pay currently to, each recipient
of Performance Shares or Performance Units, an amount equal to any dividends
paid by the Company during the period of deferral with respect to the
corresponding number of Common Shares ("Dividend Equivalents"). To the extent
provided by the Committee at or after the date of grant, any Dividend
Equivalents with respect to cash dividends on the Common Shares credited to a
Participant's account shall be deemed to have been invested in Common Shares on
the record date established for the related dividend and, accordingly, a number
of additional Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be credited to such
Participant's account equal to the greatest whole number which may be obtained
by dividing (x) the value of such Dividend Equivalent on the record date by (y)
the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on such date.

     (e) Interpretation.

     Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Section 8 to the contrary,
if any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units is intended, at the time
of grant, to be other performance based compensation within the meaning of
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, to the extent required to so qualify any Award
hereunder, the Committee shall not be entitled to exercise any discretion
otherwise authorized under this Section 8 with respect to such Award if the
ability to exercise such discretion (as opposed to the exercise of such
discretion) would cause such Award to fail to qualify as other performance based
compensation.

9. STOCK IN LIEU OF CASH.

     The Committee may grant Awards or Common Shares in lieu of all or a portion
of an award otherwise payable in cash to an Executive Officer pursuant to any
bonus or incentive compensation plan of the Company. If shares are issued in
lieu of cash, the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be the greatest
number of whole shares which has an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the
cash would otherwise have been payable pursuant to the terms of such other plan
equal to or less than the amount of such cash.

10. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

     (a) Accelerated Vesting and Payment.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 10(b) below, in the event of a Change
in Control, each Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall promptly be canceled
in exchange for a payment in cash of an amount equal to the excess of the Change
in Control Price over the exercise price for such Option or the exercise price


                                       11

for such Stock Appreciation Right, whichever is applicable, the Restricted
Period applicable to all Restricted Shares, and the Performance Period
applicable to Performance Shares and Performance Units shall expire and all such
shares shall become nonforfeitable and immediately transferable and the Common
Shares with respect thereto shall be immediately payable.

     (b) Alternative Awards.

     Notwithstanding Section 10(a), no cancellation, acceleration of
exercisability, vesting, cash settlement or other payment shall occur with
respect to any Award or any class of Awards if the Committee reasonably
determines in good faith prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control that
such Award or class of Awards shall be honored or assumed, or new rights
substituted therefor (such honored, assumed or substituted award hereinafter
called an "Alternative Award") by a Participant's new employer (or the parent or
a subsidiary of such employer) immediately following the Change in Control,
provided that any such Alternative Award must:

          (i) be based on stock which is traded on an established securities
market, or which will be so traded within 60 days following the Change in
Control;

          (ii) provide such Participant (or each Participant in a class of
Participants) with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better
than the rights and entitlements applicable under any such Award or class of
Awards, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise or
vesting schedule and identical or better timing and methods of payment;

          (iii) have substantially equivalent economic value to such Award or
class of Awards (determined by the Committee as constituted immediately prior to
the Change in Control, in its sole discretion, promptly after the Change in
Control); and

          (iv) have terms and conditions which provide that in the event that
the Participant's Employment is involuntarily terminated or constructively
terminated (other than for Cause) upon or following such Change in Control, any
conditions on a Participant's rights under, or any restrictions on transfer or
exercisability applicable to, each such Alternative Award shall be waived or
shall lapse, as the case may be.

     For this purpose, a constructive termination shall mean a termination by a
Participant following a material reduction in the Participant's compensation, a
material reduction in the Participant's responsibilities or the relocation of
the Participant's principal place of Employment to another location a material
distance farther away from the Participant's home, in each case, without the
Participant's prior written consent.

11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     (a) Withholding.

     The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid to a
Participant in cash (whether under this Plan or otherwise) any taxes required by
law to be withheld in respect of Awards under this Plan. In the case of any
Award satisfied in the form of Common Shares, no Common Shares shall be issued
unless and until arrangements satisfactory to the Committee shall have been made
to satisfy any withholding tax obligations applicable with respect to such
Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to such
terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, the Company shall have the
right to retain, or the Committee may, subject to such terms and conditions as
it may establish from time to time, permit Participants to elect to tender,
Common Shares (including Common Shares issuable in respect of an Award) to
satisfy, in whole or in part, the amount required to be withheld.

     (b) Awards.

     Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced in writing. The written agreement
shall be delivered to the Participant and shall incorporate the terms of the
Plan by reference and specify the terms and conditions thereof and any rules
applicable thereto.

     (c) Nontransferability.

     Unless the Committee shall permit (on such terms and conditions as it shall
establish) an Award to be transferred to a member of the Participant's immediate
family or to a trust or similar vehicle for the benefit of such immediate family
members (collectively, the "Permitted Transferees"), no Award shall be
assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and except to the extent required by law, no right or interest of
any Participant shall be subject to any lien, obligation or liability of the
Participant. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, all rights
with respect to Awards granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be
exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by such Participant or, if
applicable, the Permitted Transferees.

     (d) No Right to Employment.

     No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the
grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to
Employment. Further, the Company and each Subsidiary expressly reserves the
right at any time to terminate the Employment of a Participant free from any
liability or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any
agreement entered into with respect to an Award.

     (e) No Rights to Awards; No Shareholder Rights.

     No Participant or Eligible Employee shall have any claim to be granted any
Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation of uniformity of treatment of
Participants and Eligible Employees. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and
the applicable Award, no person shall have any rights as a shareholder with
respect to any Common Shares to be issued under the Plan prior to the issuance
thereof.

     (f) Construction of the Plan.

     The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of
the Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan,
shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     (g) Legend.

     To the extent any stock certificate is issued to a Participant in respect
of an Award of Restricted Shares under the Plan prior to the expiration of the
applicable Restricted Period, such certificate shall be registered in the name
of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend. Upon the lapse of the
Restricted Period with respect to any such Restricted Shares, the Company


                                       13
<PAGE>

shall issue or have issued new share certificates without a legend in exchange
for those previously issued.

     (h) Effective Date.

     The effective date of this Plan is May 7, 2002. The Plan will become
effective as of that date provided that the Plan receives the approval, within
12 months of its approval by the Board, of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Common Shares entitled to vote. If such approval is not forthcoming,
the Plan and all Awards shall be null and void. No Awards may be granted under
the Plan after May 6, 2012. Subject to shareholder approval of the Plan, if the
Committee so determines and the holder thereof shall consent to any amendment to
any outstanding award that has an adverse affect on such holder's rights
thereunder, the provisions of the Plan shall apply to, and govern, existing
awards under the Predecessor Plans and, such awards shall be amended to provide
such holder with any additional benefits available hereunder.

     (i) Amendment of Plan.

     The Board or the Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any
portion thereof at any time, provided that no amendment shall be made without
shareholder approval if such amendment would: increase the number of Common
Shares subject to the Plan, except pursuant to Section 4(c); change the price at
which Options may be granted; or remove the administration of the Plan from the
Committee. Without the written consent of an affected Participant, no
termination, suspension or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any
right of such Participant under the terms of an Award granted before the date of
such termination, suspension or modification.

     (j) Application of Proceeds.

     The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its shares under the
Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.

     (k) Compliance with Legal and Exchange Requirements.

     The Plan, the granting and exercising of Awards thereunder, and the other
obligations of the Company under the Plan, shall be subject to all applicable
federal and state laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any
regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Company, in its
discretion, may postpone the granting and exercising of Awards, the issuance or
delivery of Common Shares under any Award or any other action permitted under
the Plan to permit the Company, with reasonable diligence, to complete such
stock exchange listing or registration or qualification of such Common Shares or
other required action under any federal or state law, rule, or regulation and
may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such
information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or
delivery of Common Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and
regulations. The Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision of
the Plan to recognize the exercise of any Award or to otherwise sell or issue
Common Shares in violation of any such laws, rules, or regulations; and any
postponement of the exercise or settlement of any


                                       14
<PAGE>

Award under this provision shall not extend the term of such Awards, and neither
the Company nor its directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability
to the Participant with respect to any Award (or Common Shares issuable
thereunder) that shall lapse because of such postponement.

     (l) Deferrals.

     The Committee may postpone the exercising of Awards, the issuance or
delivery of Common Shares under any Award or any action permitted under the Plan
to prevent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from being denied a federal
income tax deduction with respect to any Award other than an Incentive Stock
Option.

     (m) Number.

     Except when otherwise indicated by the context, words in the singular shall
include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.
