(1) The dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at
    0% and at the 5% and 10% rates set by the Securities and Exchange
    Commission. They are therefore not intended to forecast possible future
    appreciation, if any, of the Company's Common Stock price and reflect
    neither the income tax liability of the individual recipients nor the time
    value of money. The Company did not use
 
                                       8


 
    an alternative formula for a grant date valuation as the Company is not
    aware of any formula which will determine with reasonable accuracy a
    present value based on future unknown or volatile factors.
(2) These grants become exercisable as to 25% of the shares underlying the
    options on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant, and are
    generally fully exercisable after the first anniversary in the event of
    retirement, disability or death. A restorative option right as described
    under the section "Proposal to Approve 1996 Stock Incentive Plan" applies
    to these grants so long as the option holder is employed by the Company.
(3) Based on Mr. Nichols' planned retirement on May 3, 1996 and the program's
    current three year exercise period after retirement.

                               RETIREMENT PLANS
 
  The Company's principal non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covers
employees of participating business units. Executive Officers participate in
this plan on the same basis as do approximately 10,000 other eligible
employees. Benefit amounts are based on years of service and average monthly
compensation for the five highest consecutive years out of the last ten years
of employment. The following table illustrates the maximum estimated annual
benefits to be paid upon normal retirement at age 65 to individuals in
specified compensation and years of service classifications. The table does
not reflect the limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 on
benefit accruals under the Pension Plan. Under a plan adopted by the Board of
Directors, supplemental payments in excess of those limitations will be made
to participants designated by the Compensation Committee in order to maintain
benefits upon retirement at the levels provided under the Pension Plan's
formula.
