FINANCIAL STATEMENTS and Subsidiaries
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statement disclosures contained in
the Corporation's 1993 Annual Shareholders' Report throughout pages 21-32. As
explained on page 31 therein, the same accounting policies are followed in
preparing quarterly financial data as are followed in preparing annual data.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a
normal, recurring nature.
Due to the seasonal nature of the retail industry, earnings for periods which
exclude the Christmas season are not indicative of the operating results that
may be expected for the full fiscal year.
MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES
The last-in, first-out (LIFO) provision, included in cost of retail sales, for
the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29, 1994 was a credit of $10
million ($.08 per share) compared to charges of $3 million ($.02 per share)
and $15 million ($.13 per share), respectively, for the same periods in 1993.
The cumulative LIFO provision was $70 million at October 29, 1994, $80 million
at January 29, 1994 and $186 million at October 30, 1993.
LONG-TERM DEBT
Beginning with the first quarter of 1994, commercial paper is classified as
long-term debt because it is supported by the Corporation's revolving credit
agreement of $600 million which expires in 1999. Commercial paper will be
classified as long-term, provided the term of the related credit agreement
exceeds one year and to the extent any unused commitments thereunder equal or
exceed the amount of commercial paper outstanding.
At October 29, 1994, $995 million of commercial paper was outstanding, of
which $600 million was classified as long-term debt.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to the third quarter end, the Corporation announced that it will
consolidate the credit operations of Mervyn's and the Department Store
Division. A pre-tax charge of approximately $10 million, or $.08 per share,
will be recorded in the fourth quarter. The charge primarily represents
severance, benefits and outplacement services for approximately 500 employees.
The consolidation is expected to be completed by Fall 1995.

<PAGE>
PER SHARE DATA
Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings less dividend
requirements on ESOP preferred stock (net of tax benefits related to
unallocated shares) by the average common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings per share assumes
conversion of the ESOP preferred stock (net of tax benefits related to
unallocated shares) into common stock. Additionally, it assumes adjustment of
net earnings for the additional expense required to fund the ESOP debt service
resulting from the assumed replacement of the ESOP preferred dividends with
common stock dividends.
References to earnings per share relate to fully diluted earnings per share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
THIRD QUARTER 1994
ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
Third quarter net earnings increased 54% to $67 million versus $43 million for
the third quarter last year. Fully diluted earnings per share were $.83 for
the third quarter compared with $.53 per share last year. For the nine-month
period net earnings were $155 million, an increase of 59% over last year's net
earnings of $97 million. Fully diluted earnings per share were $1.90 for the
nine-month period compared with $1.15 last year.
The following table illustrates the impact of the major factors contributing
to the changes in earnings per share:
<TABLE>

<S> <C> <C>
1993 Earnings Per Share $ .53 $1.15
Changes in earnings per share:

1994 Earnings Per Share $ .83 $1.90
====================================== ===== =====
(a) 1993 included a one-time after-tax charge as a result of applying the
higher statutory tax rate to deferred tax balances.
</TABLE>
Third quarter earnings were essentially as expected, led by Target's continued
strong performance. Mervyn's continued to improve off last year's low base,
while the Department Store Division's (DSD) results were slightly below
expectations. The revenue increase reflects strong sales volume growth at
Target and higher finance charge revenue associated with lowering of minimum
payment terms on DSD-named credit cards, which are accepted at DSD and Target
stores. The overall gross margin rate was favorable to last year, reflecting
improved markdowns at Mervyn's and Target partially offset by lower markup at
all divisions. The overall operating expense rate was slightly higher than
last year, despite strong sales leverage at Target.
Due to significant growth at Target, our lowest margin division, overall
revenue growth and the operating expense rate were favorably affected, while
the gross margin rate was unfavorably affected. If the revenue mix had
remained constant with the third quarter and nine-month period of 1993, the
gross margin rate variance would have been $.20 and $.70, respectively, and
the operating expense rate variance would have been $(.12) and $(.37),
respectively.

Revenues
--------
For the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29, 1994, total revenues
increased 9% and 11%, respectively. Comparable-store revenues (revenues from
stores open longer than a year) increased 3% and 5%, respectively.
Revenues by business segment were as follows:

Total $14,313 $12,952 11% 5%

</TABLE>
Target's strong third quarter revenue growth reflects solid base business
growth, new store openings and good overall merchandising execution. While
Mervyn's total revenues were up only 1% for the third quarter, we are pleased
with the progress made toward the refinement of pricing and promotion
strategies associated with its commitment to offering customers competitive
prices. DSD's total and comparable-store revenues rose slightly in the third
quarter primarily due to added promotional events, which were somewhat offset
by unseasonably warm weather in the Midwest.
Operating Profit
----------------
Both Target and Mervyn's contributed to the strong increase in operating
profit while DSD's operating profit remained essentially unchanged for the
third quarter compared to the same period last year. (Operating profit is LIFO
earnings from operations before corporate expense, interest and income taxes.)
For the nine-month period, operating profit increased 17% reflecting solid
increases at all three operating companies.
7
<PAGE>
TARGET produced a significant increase in operating profit for the three- and
nine-month periods ended October 29, 1994 compared with the same periods last
year. The increases were primarily due to strong revenue performance. The
gross margin rates improved over last year reflecting lower markdowns
partially offset by lower markup related to the refinement of the value
pricing strategy. The operating expense rates improved slightly primarily due
to sales leverage.
MERVYN'S operating profit, for the third quarter and nine-month period,
increased significantly as expected over last year's weak base. The gross
margin rates improved for both the quarter and year-to-date periods reflecting
a reduction in markdowns, somewhat offset by lower markup associated with the
focus on competitive pricing. Both the markdown and markup changes were not
as significant for the quarter compared with the year-to-date trend, as
Mervyn's competitive pricing strategy is beginning to annualize. The
operating expense rates deteriorated in both periods reflecting higher
advertising expenses and lower sales leverage.
DSD'S operating profit for the third quarter was approximately equal to a year
ago and for the nine-month period showed a solid increase compared with the
same period last year. The gross margin rate for the third quarter was
essentially unchanged versus last year. The operating profit improvement for
the nine-month period was led by an improved gross margin rate due to lower
markdowns while the operating expense rate was higher, reflecting increased
advertising expenses.
Other Performance Factors
-------------------------
The LIFO provision, for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29,
1994 was a credit of $10 million ($.08 per share) compared to charges of $3
million ($.02 per share) and $15 million ($.13 per share), respectively, for
the same periods in 1993. The reduced provision reflects the Company's
expectations that the full year LIFO provision will be a credit resulting from
modest rates of deflation across broad product lines and higher inventory
levels associated with new store growth. Our internally-generated retail
price indices capture the ongoing impact of our value-pricing strategies. In
the fourth quarter of 1993, Mervyn's and DSD adopted the use of the
internally-generated price indices for the LIFO inventory valuation.
Net interest expense for the third quarter declined $4 million from a year ago
($.03 per share) due to a lower average interest rate on our debt portfolio.
For the nine-month period, net interest expense decreased $18 million ($.14
per share) as a result of lower financing requirements and a lower average
interest rate. Looking forward, we expect the trend of lower average interest
rates on our debt portfolio to continue for the balance of 1994 and into 1995.
For the third quarter 1994, the estimated annual effective income tax rate was
39% versus 37.8% in 1993, excluding the 1993 $4 million one-time after-tax
charge associated with applying the higher federal tax rate to deferred tax
balances. The increase in the 1994 rate reflects higher state tax rates and
increased earnings diluting the effect of permanent deductions.

<PAGE>
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our financial condition remains strong. Our ratio of debt (including the
present value of operating leases) to total capitalization was 61% at the end
of third quarter 1994 compared with 63% a year ago and 59% at year-end. The
debt ratio is generally at its highest point at the end of the third quarter
due to the seasonal inventory build-up. We expect the debt ratio to continue
declining toward the mid-point of our financial policy range of 45% to 65%.
At October 29, 1994, working capital was $1,579 million, or 14% higher than a
year ago. Accounts receivable increased 16% compared to a year ago and were
essentially unchanged from the seasonally high year-end balances reflecting
improved sales and the lowering of minimum payment terms on DSD's proprietary
cards. Merchandise inventories and accounts payable increased 10% and 21%,
respectively, compared to third quarter 1993 due primarily to new store
growth. Compared to year-end, merchandise inventories and accounts payable
were 47% and 42% higher, respectively, primarily reflecting the seasonal
build-up of inventories and new store growth.
Capital expenditures for the nine-month period were $796 million, compared
with $724 million for the same period a year ago. Approximately 80% of these
expenditures were made by Target, 12% by Mervyn's and 8% by DSD. For the
total year, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.1
billion.
Capital investment in 1995 is expected to be approximately $1.3 billion for
the construction of new stores, remodeling of existing stores and upgrading of
systems and technology. Target plans to open 60 to 70 new stores primarily in
existing markets, Mervyn's plans to open four new stores and DSD will open one
new Marshall Field's store.
STORE DATA
----------
At October 29, 1994 Target operated 611 stores in 32 states, Mervyn's operated
286 stores in 15 states and DSD operated 63 stores in nine states.

the claims or matter. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive for any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses he incurs as a result of such activities.

Executive the lump sum of $700,000 as compensation to Executive for the release
of his claims for personal injury, pain and suffering, emotional anguish,
distress and anxiety, loss of self esteem, humiliation, and damage to his

taxes, FICA, or any other deduction or reporting. No portion of the lump sum
represents punitive damages.

any reason or purpose whatsoever. In the event of a breach or threatened breach

breach or threatened breach, including but without limitation to the recovery of
damages, together with costs and attorneys' fees, from or on account of
Executive.
16. Detrimental Conduct. Executive agrees that he will not directly or

ARTICLE IV
PERFORMANCE GOALS
4.1 Establishment of Goals. Within a reasonable period of time after the
beginning of each Performance Period, Performance Goals relative to such
Performance Period shall be established by the Plan Committee in its absolute
discretion. Such Performance Goals may include, but shall not necessarily be
limited to, amounts or rates of growth in consolidated profits of the Company
expressed in dollars, earnings per share, return on capital, return on
investment, return on shareholder's equity, or other similar or relevant
measurement which may be absolute in their terms or be measured against or in
relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated.
The Plan Committee, in its sole discretion, may modify the Performance Goals if
it determines that circumstances have changed and modification is required to
reflect the original intent of the Performance Goals. The Plan Committee may in
its discretion classify Participants into as many groups as it determines, and
as to any Participant(s) relate his/her Performance Goals partially, or
entirely, to the measured performance, either absolutely or
5
<PAGE>
relatively, of an identified Subsidiary, operating company or test strategy or
new venture of the Company.
4.2 Levels of Performance Required to Earn Performance Shares. At or
about the same time that Performance Goals are established for a specific
period, the Plan Committee shall in its absolute discretion establish the
percentage (not to exceed 150% thereof) of the Performance Share(s) granted for
such Performance Period which shall be earned by the Participant for various
levels of performance measured in relation to achievement of Performance Goals
for such Performance Period.
4.3 Other Restrictions. The Plan Committee may provide restrictions on
the delivery of common stock of the Company upon the earning of Performance
Shares, including the future forfeiture of all or part of the common stock
earned. The Plan Committee may provide that the shares of the Company's one
dollar par value common stock issued on Performance Shares Earned be held in
escrow and/or legended.
4.4 Notification to Participants. Promptly after the Plan Committee has
established Performance Goals for a specific Performance Period or modified such
goals, each Participant who has received a grant of any Performance Share(s) for
that period shall be provided with written evidence of the Performance Goals so
established or modified.
ARTICLE V
EARNING OF PERFORMANCE SHARES
5.1 Measurement of Performance against Performance Goals. The Plan
Committee shall as soon as practicable after the close of each Performance
Period, make a determination of:
(a) the extent to which the Performance Goals for such Performance Period
have been achieved;
(b) the percentage of the Performance Shares granted for such Performance
Period which are earned for such Performance Period by Participants
who have been from his/her date of hire in the continuous employ of
the Company or Subsidiary or a combination thereof, during the subject
Performance Period; and
(c) the percentage of Performance Shares to be paid in cash, if any. The
percentage paid in cash shall be uniform for all Participants in a
particular Performance Period.
These determinations shall be absolute and final as to the facts and conclusions
therein made and be binding on all parties. Promptly after the Plan Committee
has made the foregoing determination each Participant who has earned Performance
Share(s) based thereon shall be notified, in writing, of the number of
Performance Shares so earned. For all purposes of this
6
<PAGE>
Plan notice shall be deemed to have been given the date action is taken by the
Plan Committee making the determination.
5.2 Treatment of Performance Shares Earned. Upon the determination that a
percentage of the Performance Share(s) has been earned for a Performance Period,
a Participant to whom such earned Performance Share(s) has been granted and who
has been (or was) in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof
continuously from the date of his/her hire during the subject Performance Period
to which the grant relates, subject to the exceptions set forth at Section 5.5
and Section 5.6 hereof, shall be entitled, subject to the other conditions of
this Plan, to receive the shares of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock
for each Performance Share earned (less the shares paid in cash), plus a cash
payment in the amount of the Fair Market Value of the shares of common stock to
be paid in cash as determined in Section 5.1(c) hereof, calculated as of the
close of business on the date of the notice referred to in Section 5.1 hereof.
The provisions of Section 5.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Plan
Committee may provide that the issued shares of common stock be held in escrow
and/or be legended and that the common stock be subject to restrictions,
including the future forfeiture of all or a part of the shares. Performance
Shares shall under no circumstances become earned or have any value whatsoever
for any Participant who is not in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries
continuously during the entire Performance Period for which such Performance
Shares are granted, except as provided at Section 5.5 or Section 5.6 hereof.
5.3 Stock-Cash Distribution. Each distribution determined in accordance
with Section 5.2 above shall be made as soon as practicable after Performance
Shares have been determined to have been earned unless the provisions of Section
5.4(a) hereof are applicable to a Participant.
5.4(a) Deferral of Receipt of Performance Share Earnout. A Participant
who has received a grant of Performance Shares may by compliance with the then
applicable procedures under the Plan irrevocably elect in writing to defer
receipt of all or any part of the stock-cash distribution associated with the
earnout, if any, of the Performance Shares (the combination thereof hereafter
referred to as the "deferred account"). The deferral shall be effective until
the Participant terminates his/her employment with the Company and its
Subsidiaries except as otherwise provided herein.
The terms and conditions of such deferral, including but not limited to,
the period of time for, and form of, election; the manner and method of payout;
the form in which the deferred account shall be held; the interest equivalent or
other payment that shall accrue upon the deferred account pending its payout;
and the use and form of dividend equivalents in respect of stock units included
within any deferred account, shall be as determined from time to time by the
Plan Committee, which Plan Committee may change any and all of the terms and
conditions at any time applicable to deferrals thereafter made.
5.4(b) Amendment of Deferral Arrangements. The Plan Committee may, at any
time and from time to time, but prospectively only except as hereinafter
provided, amend, modify, change, suspend or cancel any and all of the rights,
procedures, mechanics and timing parameters relating
7
<PAGE>
to the deferral of receipt of Performance Share earnout under the Plan as set
forth at Section 5.4(a) hereof. In addition, the Plan Committee may, in its
sole discretion, accelerate the payout of the deferred account, or any portion
thereof, either in a lump sum or in a series of payments, but under the
following conditions only:
(a) the Federal tax statutes, regulations or interpretations are amended,
modified, or otherwise changed or affected in such a manner as to
adversely alter or modify the tax effect of the "deferred account" as
it is comprehended under the tax law and interpretations in effect for
deferred accounts as of the effective date of this Plan, or
(b) the deferred account holder suffers or incurs an event that would
qualify for a "withdrawal" of contributions that have not been
accumulated for two years without adverse consequences on the tax
status of a qualified profit-sharing or stock bonus plan under the
Federal tax laws applicable from time to time to such types of plans.
5.5 Non-Disqualifying Termination of Employment. Except for Section 5.6
hereof, the only exceptions to the requirement of continuous employment during a
Performance Period for Performance Share earnout eligibility are termination of
a Participant's employment by reason of death (in which event the Performance
Shares may be transferable by will or the laws of descent and distribution only
to such Participant's beneficiary designated to receive the Performance Shares
or to the Participant's applicable legal representatives, heirs or legatees),
total and permanent disability, normal or late retirement or early retirement,
with the consent of the Plan Committee, or transfer of an executive in a spin-
off, with the consent of the Plan Committee, occurring during the Performance
Period applicable to the subject Performance share grant. In such instance an
earnout of the Performance Shares shall be made, as of the end of the
Performance Period, and 100% of the total Performance Shares that would have
been earned during the Performance Period shall be earned and paid out;
provided, however, in a spin-off situation the Plan Committee may set additional
conditions, such as, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
continuous employment with the spin-off entity. If a Participant's termination
of employment does not meet the criteria set forth above, but the Participant
had at least 15 years of continuous employment with the Corporation or a
Subsidiary or any combination thereof, provided that if the person is not an
Executive Officer (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as
amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Corporation at time
of termination such 15 years need not be continuous, the Plan Committee may
allow earn-outs of up to 100% of the total Performance Shares for the
Performance Period(s) in which the termination of employment occurred, subject
to any conditions that the Plan Committee shall determine.
5.6 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all
outstanding Performance Shares granted under the Plan shall be proratably
payable ten days after the Change in Control; provided that no Performance Share
shall be payable to a Participant within six months after the Date of Grant.
The amount of Performance Shares payable shall be determined by multiplying
8
<PAGE>
100% of each Performance Share grant by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable Performance Period
and the denominator of which shall be forty-eight.
ARTICLE VI
STOCK OPTIONS
6.1 Non-Qualified Option. Non-Qualified Options granted under the Plan
are not intended to be Incentive Stock Options under the provisions of Section
422 of the Code. The Non-Qualified Options shall be evidenced by Non-Qualified
Option agreements in such form and not inconsistent with the Plan as the Plan
Committee shall in its sole discretion approve from time to time, which
agreements shall specify the number of shares to which they pertain and the
purchase price of such shares and shall, but without limitation, contain in
substance the following terms and conditions:
(a) Option Period. Each option granted shall expire and all rights to
purchase shares thereunder shall cease ten years and one day after the
Date of Grant of the Stock Option or on such date prior thereto as may
be fixed by the Plan Committee, or on such date prior thereto as is
provided by this Plan in the event of termination of employment or
death or reorganization pursuant to Section 11.8(b) hereof. No option
shall permit the purchase of any shares thereunder during the first
year after the Date of Grant of such option, except as provided in
Section 6.3 hereof.
(b) Transferability and Termination of Options. During the lifetime of an
individual to whom an option is granted, the option may be exercised
only by such individual and only while such individual is an employee
of the Company or a Subsidiary and only if the Participant has been
continuously so employed by any one or combination thereof since the
Date of Grant of the option, provided, however, that if the employment
of such Participant by the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation
terminates, the option may additionally be exercised but only as
follows and in no event later than ten years and one day after the
Date of Grant of the Stock Option, except as set forth in (ii) below:
(i) if a Participant's termination of employment occurs by reason of
normal or late retirement under any retirement plan of the
Company or its Subsidiaries or, with the consent of the Plan
Committee, by reason of early retirement under any retirement
plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or, with the consent of
the Plan Committee, the transfer of an executive in a spin-off,
or by reason of total and permanent disability, as determined by
the Plan Committee, without retirement, then within five years
after the date of such termination of employment. During the
five-year period the right to exercise options, if any, accruing
in installments, shall continue; provided, however, in a spin-off
situation the Plan Committee may set
9
<PAGE>
additional conditions, such as, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, continuous employment with the spin-off entity.
(ii) if a Participant's termination of employment occurs by reason of
death, then within five years after the date of death or the life
of the option, whichever is less, but in no event less than one
year after the date of death, during which time installments
shall continue to accrue.
(iii) if a Participant's termination of employment occurs for any
reason other than as specified in Section 6.1(b)(i) or (ii)
hereof, the Participant has been continuously employed by the
Company or a Subsidiary or any combination for more than 15
years, provided that if the person is not an Executive Officer
(as defined under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended,
and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Corporation at
the time of termination such 15 years need not be continuous, and
if the Plan Committee so approves, then within a period of up to
five years after the date of termination of employment. During
the period the right to exercise options, if any, accruing in
installments shall continue; provided, however, the Plan
Committee may set additional conditions.
(iv) if a Participant's termination of employment occurs for any
reason other than as specified in Section 6.1(b)(i) or (ii)
hereof, the Plan Committee has not approved an extension pursuant
to Section 6.1(b)(iii) and Participant's termination of
employment is not occasioned by the commission of a dishonest or
other illegal act, then, but only with respect to installments
that have as of the date of termination already accrued, within
ninety days after the date of such termination of employment
except in the case of Participants who would at the time be
subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, in which instance the period of exercise
shall be two hundred ten days after termination. Those
Participants terminated because of the commission of a dishonest
or other illegal act shall have no additional period after
termination of employment in which to exercise their options.
Absence on a leave of absence approved by the Plan Committee
shall not be deemed a termination or interruption of continuous
employment for the purposes of the Plan.
(v) Rights accruing to a Participant under the aforesaid Subsections
(b)(i), (b)(iii) and (b)(iv) may, upon the death of a Participant
subsequent to his/her termination of employment, be exercised or
perfected by his/her duly designated beneficiary or otherwise by
his/her applicable legal representatives, heirs or legatees to
the extent vested in and unexercised or perfected by the
Participant at the date of his/her death.
10
<PAGE>
No option shall be assignable or transferable by the individual
to whom it is granted, except that it may be transferable by will
or the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan. An option, if so transferable, may be
exercised after the death of the individual to whom it is granted
only by such individual's beneficiary designated to exercise the
option or otherwise by his/her applicable legal representatives,
heirs or legatees, and only within the specific time period set
forth above.
In no event whether by the Participant directly or by his/her
beneficiary or other representative shall any option be
exercisable at any time after its expiration date as stated in
the option agreement. When an option is no longer exercisable it
shall be deemed for all purposes and without further act to have
lapsed and terminated. The Plan Committee may in its sole
discretion, but shall not be required to, determine, solely for
the purposes of the Plan, that a Participant is permanently and
totally disabled and the acts and decisions of the Plan Committee
made in good faith in relation to any such determination shall be
conclusive upon all persons and interests affected thereby.
(c) Exercise of Options. An individual entitled to exercise an option
may, subject to its terms and conditions and the terms and conditions
of the Plan, exercise it in whole at any time, or in part from time to
time, by delivery to the Company at its principal office of written
notice of exercise, specifying the number of whole shares with respect
to which the option is being exercised. Before shares may be issued
payment must be made in full, in legal United States tender, in the
amount of the purchase price of the shares to be purchased at the time
and any amounts for withholding as provided in Section 11.9 hereof;
provided, however, in lieu of paying for the exercise price in cash as
described above, the individual may pay all or part of such exercise
price by delivering owned and unencumbered shares of the Company
common stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the
option equal to or less than the exercise price of the options
exercised, with cash, as set forth above, for the remainder, if any,
of the purchase price. Subject to rules established by the Plan
Committee, the withholdings required by Section 11.9 hereof may be
satisfied by the Company withholding shares of Company common stock
issued on exercise that have a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise of the option equal to or less than the withholding required
by Section 11.9 hereof.
6.2 Incentive Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options granted under the
Plan are intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code
and the Plan shall be administered, except with respect to the right to exercise
options after termination of employment, to qualify Incentive Stock Options
issued hereunder as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code. An
Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to an employee who owns, or is
deemed under Section 424(d) of the Code to own, stock of the Company (or of any
parent or Subsidiary
11
<PAGE>
of the Company) possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock therein. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of
the time the option is granted) of the stock with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any
calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option Plans of the Company or any
parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000. The Incentive
Stock Options shall be evidenced by Incentive Stock Option Agreements in such
form and not inconsistent with the Plan as the Plan Committee shall in its sole
discretion approve from time to time, which agreements shall specify the number
of shares to which they pertain and the purchase price of such shares.
The terms and conditions set forth in Subsections (a) through (c) of
Section 6.1 hereof shall apply to an Incentive Stock Option; provided that the
term of the Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed ten years; and provided,
further, that in the event Section 6.1(b)(i) hereof is applicable, all
installments shall become immediately exercisable.
6.3 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all
outstanding options granted under the Plan shall accelerate and will be
exercisable in full for a period of two hundred ten (210) days after the Change
in Control; provided that no option shall be exercisable by a Participant (i)
within six months after the Date of Grant of the option or (ii) after the
termination date of the option.
ARTICLE VII
RESTRICTED STOCK
7.1 Restriction Period to be Established by the Plan Committee. At the
time a Restricted Stock Award is made, the Plan Committee shall establish a
period of time (the "Restriction Period") applicable to such Award, which shall
be not less than three years. Each Restricted Stock Award may have a different
Restriction Period, at the discretion of the Plan Committee. Except as
permitted or pursuant to Sections 7.4, 7.5 or 11.8 hereof, the Restriction
Period applicable to a particular Restricted Stock Award shall not be changed.
7.2 Other Terms and Conditions. Company common stock awarded pursuant to
a Restricted Stock Award shall be represented by a stock certificate registered
in the name of the Holder of such Restricted Stock Award. The Holder shall have
the right to enjoy all shareholder rights during the Restriction Period with the
exception that:
(i) The Holder shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate
until the Restriction Period shall have expired.
(ii) The Company may either issue shares subject to such restrictive
legends and/or stop-transfer instructions as it deems appropriate or
provide for retention of custody of the Company common stock during
the Restriction Period.
12
<PAGE>
(iii) The Holder may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of the Company common stock during the Restriction
Period.
(iv) A breach of the terms and conditions established by the Plan Committee
pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award shall cause a forfeiture of the
Restricted Stock Award, and any dividends withheld thereon.
(v) Dividends payable in cash or in shares of stock or otherwise may be
either currently paid or withheld by the Company for the Holder's
account. At the discretion of the Plan Committee, interest may be
paid on the amount of cash dividends withheld, including cash
dividends on stock dividends, at a rate and subject to such terms as
determined by the Plan Committee.
Provided, however, and the provisions of Section 7.4 to the contrary
notwithstanding, in lieu of the foregoing, the Plan Committee may provide that
no shares of common stock be issued until the Restriction Period is over and
further provide that the shares of common stock issued after the Restriction
Period has been completed, be issued in escrow and or be legended and that the
common stock be subject to restrictions including the forfeiture of all or a
part of the shares.
7.3 Payment for Restricted Stock. A Holder shall not be required to make
any payment for Company common stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock
Award, unless the Plan Committee requires payment for such stock in the
Restricted Stock Award.
7.4 Forfeiture Provisions. Subject to Section 7.5, in the event a Holder
terminates employment during a Restriction Period, a Restricted Stock Award will
be forfeited; provided, however, when the Plan Committee issues the Restricted
Stock Award, it may provide in the Restricted Stock Award agreement for
proration or full payout in the event of a termination of employment because of
normal or late retirement, early retirement or spin-off with the consent of the
Plan Committee, or death or total and permanent disability, as determined by the
Plan Committee, or termination of employment after 15 years of continuous
employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary or any combination thereof,
provided that if the person is not an Executive Officer (as defined under the
Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder) of the Corporation at the time of termination such 15 years need not
be continuous, subject to any other conditions the Plan Committee may determine.
7.5 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, all
outstanding Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan will be proratably
payable ten days after the Change in Control; provided that no Restricted Stock
Award shall be payable to a Participant within six months after the Date of
Grant. The amount of Company common stock payable shall be determined by
multiplying each Restricted Stock Award granted by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable
Restriction Period and the denominator of which shall be the number of months in
the Restriction Period.

ARTICLE VIII
SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
8.1 The total number of shares that may be available for issuance under
all Performance Shares, Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted
pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 6,200,000 shares of the
Company's $1.00 par value common stock. Shares covered by granted Performance
Shares which are not earned pursuant to any of the provisions of Article V
hereof, or Stock Options or Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Awards which
are forfeited for any reason or are not distributed or are covered by options
that lapse or are canceled before exercise, shall (unless the Plan shall have
been terminated) again be available in the same relative amounts for other
Performance Share, Restricted Stock Award and Stock Option grants under the Plan
(except for shares for which cash equivalent payments are received by
Participants pursuant to the Plan), except that 220,275 shares for Stock
Options, Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Awards that were outstanding on
April 10, 1991 that are not earned or are forfeited for any reason or are not
distributed or lapse or are cancelled before exercise shall be available for
future grants and any additional shares for Stock Options, Performance Shares or
Restricted Stock Awards that were outstanding on April 10, 1991 that are not
earned or are forfeited for any reason or are not distributed or lapse or are
cancelled before exercise shall not be available for future Performance Shares,
Restricted Stock Awards or Stock Option Grants. Such shares may be authorized
and unissued shares, or may be treasury shares held by the Company or may be
shares purchased or held by the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of the
Plan, or any combination thereof.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
9.1 The Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board appointed
from time to time by the Board. Each member of the committee shall be a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined under Rule 16b-3, promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute
or regulation comprehending the same subject matter.
9.2 The Plan Committee shall have and exercise all of the powers and
responsibilities granted expressly or by implication to it by the provisions of
the Plan. Subject to and as limited by such provisions, the Plan Committee may
from time to time enact, amend and rescind such rules, regulations and
procedures with respect to the administration of the Plan as it deems
appropriate or convenient.
9.3 All questions arising under the Plan, any Incentive Stock Option,
Non-Qualified Stock Option, Performance Share or Restricted Stock Award
agreement, or any rule, regulation or procedure adopted by the Plan Committee
shall be determined by the Plan Committee, and its determination thereof shall
be conclusive and binding upon all parties.
9.4 Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Plan Committee
under the Plan shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum of
the members of the Plan
14
<PAGE>
Committee. A majority of all members of the Plan Committee shall constitute a
"quorum" for Plan Committee business. The Plan Committee may act by written
determination instead of by affirmative vote at a meeting, provided that any
written determination shall be signed by all members of the Plan Committee, and
any such written determination shall be as fully effective as a majority vote of
a quorum at a meeting.
ARTICLE X
REDUCTION IN AWARDS
10.1 Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the
provisions of this Article X shall apply to a Participant if Ernst & Young
determines that each of (a) and (b) below are applicable.
(a) Payments or distributions hereunder, determined without application of
this Article X, either alone or together with other payments in the
nature of compensation to the Participant which are contingent on a
change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, or
otherwise (but after any elimination or reduction of such payments
under the terms of the Company's Income Continuance Policy Statement
or SMG Income Continuance Policy Statement), would result in any
portion of the payments hereunder being subject to an excise tax on
excess parachute payments imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.
(b) The excise tax imposed on the Participant under Section 4999 of the
Code on excess parachute payments, from whatever source, would result
in a lesser net aggregate present value of payments and distributions
to the Participant (after subtraction of the excise tax) than if
payments and distributions to the Participant were reduced to the
maximum amount that could be made without incurring the excise tax.
10.2 Under this Article X the payments and distributions under this Plan
shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such payments
and distributions shall equal the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" (which
may be zero) shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the
aggregate present value of payments and distributions under this Plan which can
be made without causing any such payment to be subject to the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code. The determinations and reductions under this
paragraph shall be made after eliminations or reductions, if any, have been made
under the Company's Income Continuance Policy Statement or SMG Income
Continuance Policy Statement.
10.3 If Ernst & Young determines that this Article X is applicable to a
Participant, it shall so advise the Plan Committee. The Plan Committee shall
then promptly give the Participant notice to that effect together with a copy of
the detailed calculation supporting such determination which shall include a
statement of the Reduced Amount. The Participant may then elect, in his/her
sole discretion, which and how much of the Stock Options, Restricted Stock
Awards
15
<PAGE>
and/or Performance Shares otherwise awarded under this Plan shall be eliminated
or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the
remaining Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and/or Performance Shares under
this Plan equals the Reduced Amount), and shall advise the Plan Committee in
writing of his/her election within ten days of his/her receipt of notice. If no
such election is made by the Participant within such ten-day period, the Plan
Committee may elect which and how much of the Stock Options, Restricted Stock
Awards, and/or Performance Shares shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as
after such election their aggregate present value equals the Reduced Amount) and
shall notify the Participant promptly of such election. For purposes of this
Article X, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G of
the Code. All the foregoing determinations made by Ernst & Young under this
Article X shall be made as promptly as practicable after it is determined that
parachute payments will be made to the Participant if an elimination or
reduction is not made. As promptly as practicable following the election
hereunder, the Company shall provide to or for the benefit of the Participant
such amounts and shares as are then due to the Participant under this Plan and
shall promptly provide to or for the benefit of the Participant in the future
such amounts and shares as become due to the Participant under this Plan.
10.4 As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of
the Code at the time of the initial determination by Ernst & Young hereunder, it
is possible that payments or distributions under this Plan will have been made
which should not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional payments or
distributions which will have not been made could have been made
("Underpayment"), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced
Amount hereunder. In the event that Ernst & Young, based upon the assertion of
a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the
Participant which Ernst & Young believes has a high probability of success,
determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall be
treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which the Participant
shall repay together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for
in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be
payable by the Participant if and to the extent such payment would not reduce
the amount which is subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.
In the event that Ernst & Young, based upon controlling precedent, determines
that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid
to or for the benefit of the Participant together with interest at the
applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.
10.5 In making its determination under this Article X, the value of any
non-cash benefit shall be determined by Ernst & Young in accordance with the
principles of Section 280G(d)(3) of the Code.
10.6 All determinations made by Ernst & Young under this Article X shall
be binding upon the Company, the Plan Committee and the Participant.

ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
11.1 Amendment or Termination. The Board may at any time amend, suspend,
discontinue or terminate the Plan (including the making of any necessary
enabling, conforming and procedural amendments to the Plan to authorize and
implement the granting of qualified Stock Options or other income tax preferred
stock options which may be authorized by enactment of the United States
Congress and/or the Internal Revenue Service subsequent to the effective date
of this Plan); provided, however, that no amendment by the Board shall, without
further approval of the shareholders of the Company:
(a) except as provided at Section 2.16 hereof increase the total number of
shares of Company common stock which may be made subject to the Plan;
or
(b) except as provided at Section 2.16 hereof change the purchase price of
Company common stock under the Plan; or
(c) materially modify the class of employees that are eligible to receive
Stock Options and/or Performance Shares and/or Restricted Stock Awards
pursuant to the Plan.
No action taken pursuant to this Section 11.1 of the Plan shall, without the
consent of a Participant, alter or impair any Performance Share(s) or Stock
Option(s) or Restricted Stock Award(s) which have been previously granted to a
Participant.
11.2 Non-Alienation of Rights and Benefits. Except as expressly provided
herein, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation,
alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any attempt to
anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be
void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to
such right or benefit. If any Participant or beneficiary hereunder should
become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge,
encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, then such right or benefit
shall, in the sole discretion of the Plan Committee, cease and in such event the
Company may hold or apply the same or any or no part thereof for the benefit of
the Participant or beneficiary, his/her spouse, children or other dependents or
any of them in any such manner and in such proportion as the Plan Committee in
its sole discretion may deem proper.
11.3 No Rights as Shareholder. The granting of Performance Share(s)
and/or Stock Option(s) and/or Restricted Stock Award(s) under the Plan shall not
entitle a Participant or any other person succeeding to his/her rights, to any
dividend, voting or other right as a shareholder of the Company unless and until
the issuance of a stock certificate to the Participant or such other person
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and then only subsequent to the date of
issuance thereof.
17
<PAGE>
11.4 Limitation of Liability or Obligation of the Company. As
illustrative only of the limitations of liability or obligation of the Company
and not intended to be exhaustive thereof, nothing in the Plan shall be
construed:
(a) to give any employee of the Company any right to be granted any Stock
Option and/or Performance Share and/or Restricted Stock Award other
than at the sole discretion of the Plan Committee,
(b) to give any Participant any rights whatsoever with respect to shares
of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock except as specifically
provided in the Plan,
(c) to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to
terminate, change or modify, with or without cause, the employment of
any Participant at any time, or
(d) to be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied,
that the Company or any Subsidiary will employ any Participant in any
particular position at any particular rate of compensation or for any
particular period of time.
11.5 Government Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Plan seemingly to the contrary, the obligation of the Company with respect to
Performance Shares, Stock Options or Restricted Stock Awards granted under the
Plan shall at all times be subject to any and all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations and such approvals by any government agencies as may be required or
deemed by the Board or Plan Committee as reasonably necessary or appropriate for
the protection of the Company.
In connection with any sale, issuance or transfer hereunder, the
Participant acquiring the shares shall, if requested by the Company give
assurances satisfactory to counsel of the Company that the shares are being
acquired for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof
and assurances in respect of such other matters as the Company may deem
desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
11.6 Non-exclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the
Board nor the submission of the Plan to shareholders of the Company for approval
shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority of the
Board to adopt such other or additional incentive or other compensation
arrangements of whatever nature as the Board may deem necessary or desirable or
preclude or limit the continuation of any other plan, practice or arrangement
for the payment of compensation or fringe benefits to employees generally, or to
any class or group of employees, which the Company or any Subsidiary now has
lawfully put into effect, including, without limitation, any retirement,
pension, savings, profit sharing or stock purchase plan, insurance, death and
disability benefits, and executive short term incentive plans.
18
<PAGE>
11.7 Effective Date. Subject to the approval of this restated Plan by the
holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to
vote at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held May 29, 1991 and
any necessary approval being obtained from any department, board or agency of
the United States or states having jurisdiction, the Plan shall be effective as
of May 29, 1991.
11.8 Reorganization. In case the Company is merged or consolidated with
another corporation, or in case the property or stock of the Company is acquired
by another corporation, or in case of a separation, reorganization or
liquidation of the Company, the Plan Committee or a comparable committee of any
corporation assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder, shall either:
(a) make appropriate provision for the protection of any outstanding
Performance Shares, Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted
thereunder by the substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate
stock of the Company, or of the merged, consolidated or otherwise
reorganized corporation which will be issuable in respect to the
shares of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock. Stock to be
issued pursuant to such Performance Shares shall be limited so that
the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to
the Performance Shares immediately after such substitution over the
purchase price thereof is not more than the excess of the aggregate
fair market value of the shares subject to such Performance Shares
immediately before such substitution over the purchase price thereof;
or
(b) upon written notice to the Participant, provide that all Performance
Shares granted to the Participant are deemed earned, that the
Restriction Period of all Restricted Stock Awards has been eliminated
and that all outstanding Stock Options shall accelerate and become
exercisable in full but that all outstanding Stock Options, whether or
not exercisable prior to such acceleration, must be exercised within
not less than sixty days of the date of such notice or they will be
terminated. In any such case the Plan Committee may, in its
discretion, extend the sixty day-exercise period.
11.9 Withholding Taxes, etc. All distributions under the Plan shall be
subject to any required withholding taxes and other withholdings and, in case of
distributions in Company common stock, the Participant or other recipient may,
as a condition precedent to the delivery of the common stock, be required to pay
to his/her participating employer the excess, if any, of the amount of required
withholding over the withholdings, if any, from any distributions in cash under
the Plan. No distribution under the Plan shall be made in fractional shares of
the Company's common stock, but the proportional market value thereof shall be
paid in cash.
11.10 General Restriction. Each Performance Share, Stock Option and
Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time
the Board shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or
qualification of the shares subject to such option and/or
19
<PAGE>
right upon any securities exchange or under any state or Federal Law, or the
consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or desirable
as a condition of, or in connection with the granting of such Performance Share
or Stock Option or Restricted Stock Award or the issue or purchase of shares
respectively thereunder, such Performance Share or Stock Option or Restricted
Stock Award may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.
11.11 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds derived from the sale of the stock
pursuant to Stock Options or Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan
shall constitute general funds of the Company.
11.12 Headings. The headings of the Articles and their subparts in this
Plan are for convenience of reading only and are not meant to be of substantive
significance and shall not add to or detract from the meaning of such Article or
subpart to which it refers.
