These awards are not due and payable until April 30, 1997 and may be subject to forfeiture if the executive's employment is terminated, other than for death or disability, prior to such date. <F2> Aggregate long-term incentive payment of $7.67 million was made in 1994 prior to consummation of JSC's initial public offering of Common Stock on May 4, 1994 (the "Equity Offerings") to a number of JSC's and its affiliates' officers, including the Named Executive Officers and officers of JS Group and its affiliates. These amounts represent deferred settlement of the cancellation in 1992 of the Company's 1990 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan. The amount paid to the officers of JS Group and its affiliates (exclusive of Dr. Smurfit) was $1.69 million. <F3> Amounts shown under "All Other Compensation" for 1994 include a $3,500 Company contribution to JSC's Savings Plan for each Named Executive Officer (other than Dr. Smurfit) and JSC-paid split-dollar term life insurance premiums for Dr. Smurfit ($11,922) and Messrs. Terrill ($22,735), Graham ($6,437), Funke ($5,374), Stevens ($4,219) and Malloy (none). Messrs. Malloy and Funke also had reportable (above 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate) earnings equal to $7,688 and $1,905, respectively, credited to their accounts under JSC's Deferred Compensation Capital Enhancement Plan. In addition, Mr. Malloy received $64,859 of unused vacation pay and $291,075 of retirement benefits. <F4> James B. Malloy retired, as of February 1, 1994, as President and Chief Executive Officer, and James E. Terrill succeeded to Mr. Malloy's positions as President and Chief Executive Officer. Previously, Mr. Terrill was Executive Vice President--Operations. </FN> 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN JSC's 1992 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan") became effective on August 26, 1992 and will continue in effect until the later of August 26, 2004 and the expiration of all outstanding options granted thereunder unless terminated sooner by JSC's Board of Directors (the "Board"); no options may be granted under the Plan after August 25, 2004 or such earlier date determined by the Board. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of JSC, its subsidiaries and affiliates and their prospective stockholders by providing certain eligible employees of JSC, its subsidiaries and affiliates with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in JSC. Each salaried employee is eligible to be an optionee, provided he/she is approved by the Board of Directors. In 1994, JSC awarded 640,250 stock options, including 448,000 to all executive officers as a group (12 persons), none to directors (with the exception of Mr. Terrill) and 192,250 to employees other than executive officers, at an exercise or base price of $12.50 with an expiration date of February 14, 2006. As of December 31, 1994, there were 351 participants in the Plan. The Plan provides for the granting of nonstatutory stock options, which are options that do not qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of the Code. The Plan is administered by a committee of the Board (the "Option Plan Committee") consisting solely of two or more directors of JSC who are "disinterested" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 ("Rule 16b-3") promulgated under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Members of the Option Plan Committee do not receive any remuneration from the Plan. Option Plan Committee members serve at the discretion of the Board. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is 8,050,000, subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization. Shares may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. Under the Plan, the Named Executive Officers and certain other eligible employees have been granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock. Options may not be exercised unless they are both "exercisable" and "vested". The vesting schedule varies according to the schedule set forth in each Option Agreement and provides for vesting over a period of time. The options which have been granted to date generally become fully vested four years from the date of grant. Options vest in their entirety upon the death, disability or retirement, as defined in the Plan, of the optionee. Non-vested options are forfeited upon any other termination of employment. The Option Plan Committee, with the consent of the Board, may accelerate the vesting of options at such times and under such circumstances as it deems appropriate. Exercisability is determined in accordance with the following rules. Upon the earliest to occur of (i) MSLEF II's transfer of all its Common Stock or, if MSLEF II distributes its Common Stock to its partners pursuant to its dissolution, the transfer by such partners of at least 50% of the aggregate Common Stock received from MSLEF II pursuant to its dissolution, (ii) the 11th anniversary of the grant date of the options, and (iii) a public offering of Common Stock by MSLEF II (a "MSLEF II Public Offering") (each, a "Trigger Date"), all vested options shall become exercisable and all options which vest subsequently shall become exercisable upon vesting; provided, however, that if a public offering occurs prior to the Threshold Date (defined below) all vested options and all options which vest subsequent to the public offering but prior to the Threshold Date shall be exercisable in an amount (as of periodic determination dates) equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock vested pursuant to the option (whether previously exercised or not) and (b) the Morgan Percentage (as defined below) as of such date; provided further that, in any event, (i) ten percent of stock options granted prior to 1993 became exercisable on January 1, 1995, and (ii) a holder's options shall become exercisable from time to time in an amount equal to the percentage that the number of shares sold or distributed to its partners by MSLEF II represents of its aggregate ownership of shares on May 11, 1994 (with vested options becoming exercisable up to such number before any non-vested options become so exercisable) less the number of options, if any, which became exercisable on January 1, 1995. The Threshold Date is the earlier of (x) the date the members of the MSLEF II Group (as defined in the Option Plan) shall have received collectively $200,000,000 in cash and/or other property as a return of their investment in JSC (as a result of sales of shares of JSC's common equity) and (y) the date that the members of the MSLEF II Group shall have transferred an aggregate of at least 30% of JSC's common equity owned by the MSLEF II Group as of August 26, 1992. The Morgan Percentage as of any date is the percentage determined from the quotient of (a) the number of shares of JSC's common equity held as of August 26, 1992, that were transferred by the MSLEF II Group as of the determination date and (b) the number of shares of JSC's common equity outstanding as of such date. The purchase price of the stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an option is $10 per share for options granted as of August 26, 1992 and $12.50 per share for options granted as of February 15, 1994; and for all other options, such price must be the fair market value of the stock on the day the option is granted. The option price may be adjusted in accordance with the antidilution provisions of the Plan. Upon the exercise of any option, the purchase price must be fully paid in cash or its equivalent or with already owned shares or shares otherwise issuable upon exercise. Certain Federal Income Tax Effects -- The following discussion of certain federal income tax effects applicable to options granted under the Plan is a summary only, and reference is made to the Code, the regulations and rulings issued thereunder and judicial decisions relating thereto for a complete statement of all relevant federal tax provisions. An employee generally will not be taxed upon the grant of an option. Rather, at the time of exercise of such option the employee will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased over the option price. JSC, or its affiliates and subsidiaries, as the case may be, will generally be entitled to a tax deduction at such time and in the same amount that the employee recognizes ordinary income. Different rules may apply in the case of an employee who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. If shares acquired upon exercise of an option are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the sales price and the fair market value of such shares on the date that ordinary income was recognized with respect thereto will generally be taxable as long- term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the employee) depending upon whether the shares have been held for more than one year after such date. According to a published ruling of the Internal Revenue Service, an employee who pays the option price upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, in whole or in part, by delivering shares already owned by him will recognize no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the shares surrendered, but otherwise will be taxed according to the rules described above. With respect to shares acquired upon exercise that are equal in number to the shares surrendered, the basis of such shares will be equal to the basis of the shares surrendered, and the holding period of shares acquired will include the holding period of the shares surrendered. The basis of additional shares received upon exercise will be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date that governs the determination of the employee's ordinary income, and the holding period for such additional shares will commence on such date. Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year -- The following table provides information concerning stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers effective as of February 15, 1994.

For purposes of the Pension Plan, final average earnings equals the average of the highest five consecutive years of the participants' last 10 years of service, including overtime and certain bonuses, but excluding bonus payments under the Management Incentive Plan, deferred or acquisition bonuses, fringe benefits and certain other compensation. For purposes of each SIP, final average earnings equals the participant's average earnings, including bonus payments made under the Management Incentive Plan, for the five consecutive highest-paid calendar years out of the last 10 years of service. SIP I recognizes up to 20 years of credited service and SIP II recognizes 22.5 years of credited service. The pension benefits for the Named Executive Officers can be calculated pursuant to the following table, which shows the total estimated single life annuity payments that would be payable to the Named Executive Officers participating in the Pension Plan and one of the SIP Plans after various years of service at selected compensation levels. Payments under the SIP Plans are an unsecured liability of JSC.

SIP Plan II became effective January 1, 1993, and Messrs. Terrill, Graham, Funke and Stevens participate in such plan and have 23, 36, 18 and 7 years of credited service, respectively. Estimated final average earnings for each of the Named Executive Officers are as follows: Dr. Smurfit ($1,069,000); Mr. Terrill ($516,000); Mr. Graham ($340,000); Mr. Funke ($322,000); and Mr. Stevens ($199,000). Mr. Malloy received approximately $208,000 of SIP Plan I payments in 1994. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION, SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS Mr. Malloy has a deferred compensation agreement with a subsidiary of JSC, pursuant to which he became entitled upon his retirement to lifetime payments of $70,000 annually in addition to his accrued benefits under SIP Plan I. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Prior to the Equity Offerings, JSC did not maintain a formal compensation committee. Dr. Smurfit, Mr. Malloy and Mr. Kilroy, executive officers of JSC at the beginning of 1994, participated in deliberations of the Board of Directors on executive compensation matters for 1994. Dr. Smurfit and Mr. Kilroy are both directors and executive officers of JS Group and JSC, and Mr. Malloy is a director of JS Group and a former director and executive officer of JSC. REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") was established in connection with the Equity Offerings in 1994. The Committee consists of three members of JSC's Board of Directors who are not employees of JSC and who have no interlocking relationships requiring disclosure. The Committee oversees the administration of executive compensation programs and determines the compensation of the executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. The goals of JSC's executive compensation program are as follows: to attract, retain and motivate qualified executives with outstanding abilities; to tie a significant portion of the overall compensation of executive officers to JSC's profitability; and to seek to enhance JSC's profitability by aligning the interests of executive officers with those of JSC's stockholders. In determining base salaries for each of the Named Executive Officers, as well as other executive officers, consideration is given to national and local salary surveys and the results of an informal, internal review of salaries paid to officers with comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at other companies of similar size. As part of the cost reduction initiatives implemented by JSC in 1993, salaries were frozen at 1993 levels for 1994. JSC's executive officers, as well as other key employees of JSC, participate in an annual management incentive plan (the "MIP"), with awards based upon the attainment of pre-established individual goals and profit targets for JSC. Each fiscal year the Committee considers the desirability of granting awards under JSC's 1992 Stock Option Plan to executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. In determining the amount and nature of awards under the Plan to executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, an initial recommendation is made by the Option Plan Committee, taking into account the respective scope of accountability, strategic and operational goals, and anticipated performance requirements and contributions of each executive officer. The stock options awarded to the Chief Executive Officer are established separately and are described below under CEO Compensation. The Committee believes that past grants of stock options have successfully focused JSC's senior management on building profitability and shareholder value. Beginning with 1994, Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section 162(m)") generally limits to $1,000,000 per person a publicly held corporation's federal income tax deduction for compensation paid in any year to its Chief Executive Officer and each of its four other highest paid executive officers to the extent such compensation is not "performance based" within the meaning of Section 162(m). Section 162(m) does not apply to JSC for either of its 1994 or 1995 tax years because JSC is not "publicly held" as defined for this purpose in the Code. JSC has historically set compensation and bonuses based upon performance, and JSC intends to continue this practice. At such time as Section 162(m) becomes applicable to JSC, the Committee will, in general, seek to qualify compensation paid to its executive officers for deductibility under Section 162(m) although the Committee believes it is appropriate to retain the flexibility to authorize payments of compensation that may not qualify for deductibility if, in the Committee's judgment, it is in JSC's best interest to do so. CEO Compensation Mr. Terrill's salary as the new Chief Executive Officer was set by Dr. Smurfit, in consultation with representatives of the major stockholders. Mr. Terrill's salary was based on an informal review of salaries paid to officers with comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at other companies of similar size. Based on this assessment, the Chief Executive Officer was awarded a base salary for 1994 of $700,000, effective February 1, 1994. Pursuant to the terms of the MIP, he received a performance based incentive award of $251,029 for 1994. The Chief Executive Officer was also awarded stock options covering an aggregate of 319,000 shares of JSC's common stock in February 1994 in recognition of his new position. The award was based on the Board's evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer's past and expected contributions toward the achievement of JSC's long-term strategic initiatives, including the positive results realized by JSC from the significant restructuring completed and cost savings measures instituted in 1993. Commencing on the date of the Equity Offerings, the Committee undertook the responsibility for reviewing the salary level and the overall compensation of the Chief Executive Officer based upon a periodic review of peer group companies, the performance of JSC in relation to its peers and the performance of the individual. The evaluation recognizes the major role of the Chief Executive Officer in strategic initiatives to be accomplished by JSC, including cost savings measures instituted under the tenure of the Chief Executive Officer; growth in the market price for JSC's securities; and favorable corporate developments for increased sales volume.
