            RESOLVED, that Section 7(f) of the 1981 ISO/NQSO Plan

            his or her lifetime, and only by the Optionee's Post-Death
            Representatives after his or her death.  Option Agreements may
            contain any provision approved by the Committee, not
            inconsistent with Sections 7(d), 8, and 9 of the Plan,
            relating to the period for exercise of Options after
            termination of employment, death, or disability.

            RESOLVED, that Section 8 of the 1981 ISO/NQSO Plan (relating
            to the Two-Year Forfeiture Rule) is amended by adding to the
            end thereof the following new sentence:

            The Committee may waive, in whole or part and for any reason
            the Committee deems appropriate, any termination caused by
            this Section 8 of any Option or group of Options.

            RESOLVED, that the appropriate officers are authorized and
            directed to take whatever actions are necessary or appropriate
            to carry out the substance and intent of these resolutions and
            the amendments of the 1981 ISO/NQSO Plan referred to above.
