EXHIBIT 10(d)



     If a Participant retires during the year with respect to which the awards
     are made, the Committee may grant a prorated award, and it shall be based
     on the number of months of active employment. If a Participant dies during
     the year, the Committee may grant a prorated award to the employee's
     estate. The Committee reserves the right to grant, deny, or limit the
     amount of an Award to any Participant. Further, the Board may, from time to
     time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. If it is
     suspended or terminated, the Board may reinstate any or all of the
     provisions of the Plan.

6. PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE AWARDS

     The Committee will pay each participant in the Plan the award in cash as
     soon as practical following the grant of the award. Awards are subject to
     income and payroll tax withholding and are included in "gross pay" for
     purposes of benefit calculations under the Retirement Plan and for purposes
     of Thrift Plan contributions (unless the Award is paid after the
     Participant retires). No award will be paid to a person who terminates or
     is discharged prior to payment of the award.

7. EFFECTIVE DATE

     This Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board.
