3.      EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Plan shall be effective on and after January 1,

4.      CREDITING ACCOUNTS.

4.1     Commencing in the year 1988, each year on the day following the Annual 
Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, the Company shall credit the 
Account of each Non-Employee Director who serves on the Board on that 
day with the 



number of Common Stock Units determined by dividing one-
half of such Director's Retainer by the average closing price of the 
Common Stock in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions 
during the 5 days for which such price is available immediately 
preceding such day of crediting.  No more than 10 such Annual 
Contributions shall be made to each Account and the total number of such 
Annual Contributions to an Account under this Section 4.1 plus the 
number which is multiplied by $10,000 to determine the amount credited 
to the Account under Section 4.2 will not exceed 10.

4.2     On the day following the 1988 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the 
Company, the Company shall credit the Account of each Non-Employee 
Director who is age 61 or older on that date with the number of Common 
Stock Units determined by (1) multiplying $10,000 times his or her 
number of full fiscal years of Service, but such number of full fiscal 
years of Service shall not exceed the number determined by subtracting 
60 from the Non-Employee Director's age on the day immediately following 
the 1988 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and (2) then dividing that 
amount by the average closing price of the Common Stock in the New York 
Stock Exchange Composite Transactions during the 5 days for which such 
price is available immediately preceding such day.

5.      PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS.

5.1     Only Participants or Eligible Spouses will receive benefits under this 
Plan.  Except as set forth in Section 5.4, the Account of a Non-Employee 
Director will be forfeited if he or she does not become a Participant.

5.2     Benefits will be paid in annual installments each year on May 1 (or on 
the next business day if May 1 is not a business day) commencing the 
first May 1 the Participant is eligible to receive benefits; provided, 
however, that the first payment to a Participant shall not be made until 
6 months and 10 days after the Participant ceases to be a Non-Employee 
Director.  The number of annual installments paid to each Participant 
shall be equal to his or her number of full fiscal years of Service, but 
shall not exceed 10 annual installments.  The number of Common Stock 
Units attributable to each installment shall be equal to the whole 
number obtained by dividing the number of Common Stock Units then 
credited to the Participant's Account by the number of unpaid 
installments.  Common Stock Units with respect to which payment has not 
yet occurred shall continue to be credited with Dividend Equivalents.  
As of the date on which the last payment of benefits is made to any 
Participant, the Company shall pay the Participant, in cash, calculated 
in the manner described in Section 5.3, the net amount of any remaining 
fractional Common Stock Unit.



5.3     Benefits shall be paid, in the discretion of the Committee, in the form 
of Common Stock or cash; provided that, benefits paid to any Participant 
who becomes eligible to receive benefits under this Plan on or after 
November 1, 1990, shall be paid only in cash.  If paid in the form of 
cash, the amount of each payment shall be calculated by multiplying the 
number of Common Stock Units attributable to such payment by the average 
closing price of the Common Stock in the New York Stock Exchange 
Composite Transactions for the 5 trading days for which such price is 
available immediately preceding the date of payment.

5.4     If a Non-Employee Director dies prior to retiring, or after retiring 
from the Board but before becoming eligible to receive benefits 
hereunder, he or she shall be deemed to have become a Participant 
eligible to receive benefits hereunder immediately prior to his or her 
death, and such benefits shall be paid to the Participant's Eligible 
Spouse.  If a Participant dies after becoming eligible to receive 
benefits hereunder, but prior to receiving all the benefits due him or 
her hereunder, such remaining benefits shall be paid to the 
Participant's Eligible Spouse.  Unpaid benefits under this Plan will be 
forfeited in the event the Participant's death and Participant's 
Eligible Spouse's death occur prior to the total amount of benefits due 
hereunder having been paid.

6.      CHANGES IN STOCK.  In the event of any change in the outstanding shares 
of the Common Stock, or in the number thereof, by reason of any stock 
dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of 
shares or other similar change, a corresponding change will be made in 
the number of Common Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents, if any, 
credited to each Account, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

7.      ACCELERATION.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate 
the payment of benefits hereunder to any Participant or his or her Eligible 
Spouse for reasons of changes in tax laws or in the event of a Change in 
Control of the Company; provided that no payment of benefits may be 
accelerated hereunder to any Participant or his or her Eligible Spouse 
if such Participant was a director of the Company on or after November 
1, 1990.

8.      CHANGE IN CONTROL.  Upon, or in reasonable anticipation of, a Change in 
Control (as defined above), the Company shall immediately make a payment 
in cash to a trustee on such terms as the Senior Vice President, Human 
Resources and Administration, and the Senior Vice President, Finance, or 
either of them, shall deem appropriate (including such terms as are 
appropriate to cause such payment, if possible, not to be a taxable 
event to Participants) of a sufficient 



amount to insure that Participants receive the payment of all amounts as 
contemplated under the Plan.

9.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.  The entire cost of benefits and administrative 
expenses for this Plan shall be paid by the Company.  This Plan is 
purely voluntary on the part of the Company.  The Company, by action of 
the Board or, except as limited by the Company's bylaws, the Committee, 
may amend, suspend or terminate this Plan in whole or part at any time, 
but no such amendment, suspension or termination shall adversely affect 
the rights of any Non-Employee Director or Eligible Spouse of a deceased 
Non-Employee Director with respect to Common Stock Units and Dividend 
Equivalents credited prior to such amendment, suspension or termination 
or Dividend Equivalents which would otherwise have been credited in the 
future with respect to Common Stock Units credited prior to such 
amendment, suspension or termination.
