NOTE 4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The excess of shares assumed to be issued under the stock option plans
         over shares that could be purchased with the proceeds based on the
         higher average or period ending market prices, was sufficient to
         cause fully diluted earnings per share to be different from primary
         earnings per share as shown in the consolidated statement of earnings.

NOTE 5.  ACQUISITIONS

         The Company acquired, effective March 15, 1997, the business and
         certain assets of Specialty Window Coverings Corp., an Elkhart, Indiana
         based manufacturer of pleated shades for the recreational vehicle
         market. The purchase price was $2,455,783 in cash plus conditional
         payments, based on earnings, of up to $2 million over the succeeding
         two years. The company

         existing facilities, which are being expanded from 20,000 to 35,000
         square feet and which are leased from the former owners of Specialty.

         connection with the acquisition.

         On March 4, 1997, the Company further expanded its product line to
         include furniture and cushions for the recreational vehicle market
         by having purchased the assets of Action Design Interiors, also based
         in Elkhart, Indiana.

         The Company acquired, effective May 12, 1997, the business and certain
         assets of Southern Interiors, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee based

         Market for $844,313 in cash plus conditional payments, not to exceed

         manufactures window coverings and accessories from fabric supplied
         by its customers, largely hotel design and supply firms.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS  OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's financial condition, as measured by the following ratios, 
continues to be strong at the end of the Second Quarter.

                                        JUNE 28, 1997         DECEMBER 28, 1996
                                        -------------         -----------------
Current Ratio                               2:29                    2:94
Quick Ratio                                 1:64                    2:28
LT Debt to Total Capital                    3.64%                   4.03%
Working Capital                          $8,171,905              $9,003,836

Cash and Short-Term Investments totaled $5,211,147 at June 28, 1997. The 
current cash balances and borrowing capacity keep the company well-positioned 
to take advantage of internal growth or acquisition opportunities that might 
arise.

THIRTEEN WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 28, 1997 (SECOND QUARTER 1997) COMPARED TO 
THIRTEEN WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 (SECOND QUARTER 1996)

Net sales for the Second Quarter were $11,860,367, compared to $10,540,139 
for the same period the previous year, a 12.5% increase. Sales by acquired 
businesses and increased sales by existing divisions to the Recreational 
Vehicle Market were offset somewhat by a decline in sales to the Manufactured 
Housing Market in some geographic regions.

Cost of products sold increased to 75.1% in the Second Quarter compared to 
73.1% a year ago. The increase is the result of higher cost of products sold 
percentages attributable to the acquired businesses and higher labor and 
other start-up costs largely related to the growth of the Recreational 
Vehicle products business.

Selling and administrative expenses were $1,652,735 in the Second Quarter 
1997 versus $1,473,563 in the Second Quarter 1996. This increase is related 
to the acquired businesses.

Net income in the Second Quarter was $879,551 or 29 cents per share 
(primary), compared with $910,548 or 31 cents per share (primary) in the same 
period a year ago. These results were a 3% and 6% decrease, respectively.

TWENTY-SIX WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 28, 1997 (FIRST HALF 1997) COMPARED TO 
TWENTY-SIX WEEK PERIOD ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 (FIRST HALF 1996)

Net sales for the first half of 1997 were $21,246,909 compared to $19,988,882 
for the first half of 1996. Increases from acquisitions and in sales to the 
Recreational Vehicle and Hospitality Markets were offset by a decline in 
sales to the Manufactured Housing Market.

Net income was $1,582,156 in the first six months of 1997 versus $1,533,274 
for the same period of 1996. Overall performance for the respective periods 
was very comparable.

                              DECORATOR INDUSTRIES, INC.
                        STOCK PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
                                EFFECTIVE MAY 16, 1997


    1.   PURPOSE.  The purpose of the Decorator Industries, Inc. Stock Plan for
Non-Employee Directors (the "Plan") is to attract and retain qualified persons
to serve as directors of Decorator Industries, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
(the "Company"), to  enhance the equity interest of directors in the Company,
and to encourage the highest level of director performance by providing them
with a proprietary interest in the Company's performance and progress, by
crediting them with shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.20 per
share ("Common Stock"), in lieu of cash compensation.  

    2.   EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM.  The Plan shall be effective as of May 16,
1997.  The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by action of the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board").

    3.   PARTICIPATION.  All Non-Employee Directors shall participate in the
Plan.  The term "Non-Employee Director" means any individual who was a member of
the Board as of the election of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders
on May 16, 1997, or who becomes a member of the Board thereafter during the term
of the Plan and in each case during such periods as he or she is not a full-time
employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

    4.   ADMINISTRATION; AMENDMENT.  (a) The Plan will be administered by a
committee (the "Committee"), the members of which are appointed from time to
time by the Board, which shall have full power and authority to interpret and
construe the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, and to take all such actions and make all such
determinations in connection with the Plan as it may deem necessary or
desirable.

         (b)  The Board may from time to time make such amendments to the Plan
as it may deem proper and in the best interest of the Company without further
approval of the Company's stockholders, unless and to the extent required to
qualify transactions under the Plan for exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated
under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to
time ("Rule 16b-3").  Further, if and to the extent required for the Plan to
comply with Rule 16b-3, no amendment to the Plan shall be made more than once in
any six-month period that would change the amount, price or timing of the grants
of Common Stock hereunder other than to comport with changes in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time and any successor thereto,
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to
time and any successor thereto, or the regulations thereunder.



                                                      EXHIBIT 10W
<PAGE>
         (c)  Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have authority,
without stockholder approval, to amend the Plan to take into account changes in
law and tax and accounting rules as well as other developments, including
without limitation new rules which  may be promulgated under Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, and to grant
awards which qualify for beneficial treatment under such rules.

    5.   SHARES.  (a) Each Non-Employee Director shall receive annual 
compensation in the form of shares of Common Stock, payable in equal 
quarterly installments on or before March 15, June 15, September 15 and 
December 15 of each year, commencing June 13, 1997.  A Plan Year shall be the 
Company's fiscal year.  The first Plan Year under the Plan shall be the 
fiscal year ending January 3, 1998 (the "First Plan Year").  Annual 
compensation for the First Plan Year shall be that number of whole shares of 
Common Stock which is equal to the quotient of: Seven Thousand Five Hundred 
Dollars ($7,500) divided by the closing price per share of Common Stock on 
the American Stock Exchange on May 12, 1997. Annual compensation for each 
succeeding Plan Year shall be that number of whole shares of Common Stock 
which is equal to the quotient of: Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) divided by 
the closing price per share of Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange on 
the third business day following the date of the public announcement of the 
Company's sales and earnings for its preceding fiscal year. Either authorized 
but unissued or Treasury shares shall be used for this purpose.  Any 
fractional shares will be paid in cash.  Each Non-Employee Director will be 
required to represent that the shares are to be held for investment purposes 
and not with a view to resale or distribution except in compliance with the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the "Securities Act") 
and to give a written undertaking, in form and substance satisfactory to the 
Company, that he or she will not publicly offer or sell or otherwise 
distribute the shares other than (i) in the manner and to the extent 
permitted by Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 
Securities Act, (ii) pursuant to any other exemption from the registration 
provisions of the Securities Act, or (iii) pursuant to an effective 
registration statement.

         (b)  If an individual becomes a Non-Employee Director during a Plan 
Year, he or she shall receive for that Plan Year the number of shares equal 
to the product of (i) the number of shares to which he or she would have been 
entitled under Section 5(a) had he or she been a Non-Employee Director for 
the full Plan Year, and (ii) the fraction obtained by dividing (x) the number 
of calendar months during such Plan Year that such person was a Non-Employee 
Director by (y) 12; provided, that for purposes of the foregoing a partial 
calendar month shall be treated as a whole month.  

    6.   ADJUSTMENTS.  In the event of any change in the Common Stock of the
Company, through the declaration of stock dividends, through recapitalization
resulting in stock split-ups or combinations of shares, or as the result of
similar events, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Committee in the
number and kind of shares to be paid pursuant to the Plan.

    7.   ELECTION TO DEFER SHARES.  (a) Subject to Section 7(b), each 
Non-Employee Director may make an irrevocable election to defer receipt of 
all or part of the shares granted under this Plan (the "Deferral Election").  
In order to make a Deferral Election pursuant to this Section 7(a), a 
Non-Employee Director must deliver to the Secretary of the Company a written 
notice of the Deferral Election setting forth the number of shares to be 
deferred on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee.  The Deferral 
Election may also specify that the Non-Employee Director elects to receive 
distribution of his or her Director's Trust Account (as defined below) in 
accordance with Section 7(d) in a lump sum (a "Lump Sum Delivery Election"), 
or in installments over a period of less than ten years (a "Specific 
Installment Election").  In the case of individuals who are Non-Employee 
Directors on May 16, 1997, this notice must be delivered no later than June 
2, 1997, except as specified in Section 7(b); in the case of individuals who 
become Non-Employee Directors after May 16, 1997, during the term of the 
Plan, this notice must be delivered within thirty (30) days after the date on 
which the Non-Employee Director becomes a Non-Employee Director.

         (b)  It is the intention of this Plan that Non-Employee Directors 
shall have the ability to make a Deferral Election on an annual basis 
provided that such annual Deferral Elections would not cause the Plan to fail 
to comply with Rule 16b-3.  Subject to the preceding limitation, a 
Non-Employee Director may make a Deferral Election on an annual basis on or 
before June 20 of the Plan Year prior to the commencement of the first Plan 
Year to which the Deferral Election relates, or such later date up to and 
including the last business day of such prior Plan Year as may be permitted 
by the Committee and as permitted under Rule 16b-3.  The Deferral Election 
made pursuant to Section 7(a), or any subsequent Deferral Election permitted 
and made pursuant to this Section 7(b), as the case may be, shall remain in 
effect for subsequent Plan Years unless a subsequent different Deferral 
Election is permitted and made in accordance with this Section 7(b).

         (c)  The Committee may establish a trust for the benefit of the 
Non-Employee Directors on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall 
determine (the "Plan Trust"), the assets of which shall be subject to the 
claims of the Company's creditors.  All shares deferred pursuant to this 
Section 7 shall be delivered to the Plan Trust and shall be credited to the 
account of each Non-Employee Director in accordance with his or her Deferral 
Election (the "Director's Trust Account") and held for delivery in accordance 
with the terms of this Plan; and all earnings of a Director's Trust Account 
(including without limitation dividends on the Common Stock) shall be 
accumulated and reinvested by the trustee in the trustee's discretion.

         (d)  All distributions from a Director's Trust Account under the 
Plan Trust shall be made to the Non-Employee Director (or, in the event of an 
eligible Non-Employee Director's death, his or her designated beneficiary) in 
ten (10) annual installments commencing as soon as practicable following the 
cessation of his or 

                                       3
<PAGE>

her services as a Non-Employee Director.  However, if the Non-Employee 
Director has in effect a valid Lump Sum Delivery Election or a valid Specific 
Installment Election pursuant to Section 7(b), such distributions shall be 
made in a lump sum, or in the specified number of installments as the case 
may be, commencing as soon as practicable following the cessation of his or 
her services as a Non-Employee Director.  Distributions will be made in 
shares of Common Stock unless the Committee otherwise determines, in 
accordance with the terms of the Plan Trust.  If such shares are to be 
distributed in installments, such installments shall be equal; provided, that 
if in order to equalize such installments fractional shares would have to be 
delivered, such installments shall be adjusted by rounding to the nearest 
whole share.  If any such shares are to be delivered after the Non-Employee 
Director has died or become legally incompetent, the Committee shall deliver 
promptly all remaining undelivered shares to the Non-Employee Director's 
designated beneficiary or legal guardian, respectively.  References to a 
Non-Employee Director in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to the 
Non-Employee Director's designated beneficiary or legal guardian, where 
appropriate.

         (e)  Nothing in the Plan or the Plan Trust shall confer on any 
individual any right to continue as a director of the Company or interfere in 
any way with the right of the Company to terminate the individual's service 
as a director at any time.

         (f)  A Non-Employee Director shall be entitled to early distribution 
of all or part of his or her Director's Trust Account in the event of an 
"Unforeseeable Emergency," in accordance with this paragraph.  An 
"Unforeseeable Emergency" means severe financial hardship to the Non-Employee 
Director resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the 
Non-Employee Director or a dependent of the Non-Employee Director, loss of 
the Non-Employee Director's property due to casualty, or other similar 
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events 
beyond the control of the Non-Employee Director.  A distribution pursuant to 
this paragraph may only be made to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy 
the emergency need, and may not be made if such hardship is or may be 
relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, 
(ii) by liquidation of the Non-Employee Director's assets to the extent such 
liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (iii) by 
cessation of participation in the Plan prospectively.  The determination of 
whether and to what extent a distribution is permitted pursuant to this 
paragraph shall be made by the Committee.

                               GRANTOR TRUST AGREEMENT
                        STOCK PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
                               EFFECTIVE JUNE 13, 1997


         (a)  This agreement made this 13th day of June, 1997, by and between 
Decorator Industries, Inc. ("Company") and William A. Bassett, as trustee 
(the "Trustee");

         (b)  WHEREAS, Company has adopted the nonqualified deferred 
compensation plan entitled Decorator Industries, Inc. Stock Plan for 
Non-Employee Directors, effective May 16, 1997 (the "Plan"), as set forth in 
Appendix A hereto;

         (c)  WHEREAS, Company has incurred or expects to incur liability 
under the terms of the Plan with respect to the individuals participating in 
the Plan;

         (d)  WHEREAS, Company wishes to establish a trust (hereinafter 
called "Trust") and to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held 
therein, subject to the claims of the Company's creditors in the event of 
Company's Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Plan participants and 
their beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plan;

         (e)  WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust 
shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of 
the Plan as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred 
compensation for a select group of non-employee directors for purposes of 
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended 
("ERISA"); and

         (f)  WHEREAS, it is the intention of Company to make contributions 
to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in meeting 
its liabilities under the Plan;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree 
that the Trust shall be composed, held and disposed of as follows:

SECTION 1.    ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST

         (a)  Company hereby deposits with Trustee in trust 1,076 shares of 
Company Common Stock which shall become the initial principal of the Trust to 
be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this 
Trust Agreement.

         (b)  The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable by the 
Company.

         (c)  The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which Company 
is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, 
chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and 
shall be construed accordingly.

         (d)  The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, shall be 
held separate and apart from other funds of Company and shall be used 
exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan participants and general 
creditors as herein set forth.   Plan participants and their beneficiaries 
shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, 
any 

                                       5
<PAGE>

assets of the Trust.  Any rights created under the Plan and this Trust 
Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan participants and 
their beneficiaries against Company.  Any assets held by the Trust will be 
subject to the claims of Company's general creditors under Federal and state 
law in the event Company is Insolvent, as defined in Section 3(a) herein.

         (e)  Company may at any time or from time to time, make additional 
contributions of property in Trust with Trustee to augment the principal to 
be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust 
Agreement.

SECTION 2.    PAYMENTS TO PLAN PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR BENEFICIARIES

         (a)  Company shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment 
Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect to each Plan 
participant (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other 
instructions acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, 
the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available 
under the Plan), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts.  
Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (c) herein, Trustee shall make 
payments to the Plan participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with 
the Payment Schedule and the Plan.  Trustee shall make provision for the 
reporting and withholding of any Federal, state or local taxes that may be 
required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to 
the terms of the Plan and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate 
authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and 
paid by Company.

         (b)  The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her 
beneficiaries to benefits under the Plan shall be determined by Company or 
such party as shall be designated under the Plan, and any claim for such 
benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the 
Plan.

         (c)  Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan 
participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the 
Plan.  Company shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of 
benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to Plan participants 
or their beneficiaries.

         (d)  If the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are 
not sufficient to make payments of benefits when due in accordance with the 
Payment Schedule and terms of the Plan, Trustee shall notify Company at least 
30 days prior to the date such benefits are due.  Upon notice from Trustee, 
Company shall make the balance of each such benefit payment as it falls due.


SECTION 3.    TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING PAYMENTS TO TRUST
              BENEFICIARIES WHEN COMPANY IS INSOLVENT.

         (a)  Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan participants 
and their beneficiaries if Company is Insolvent.  Company shall be considered 
"Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) Company is unable to 
pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) Company is subject to a pending 
proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

         (b)  At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided 
in Section 1(d) hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be 
subject to claims of general creditors of Company under Federal and state law 
as set forth below.

                                       6
<PAGE>

              (1)  An authorized officer or director of the Company shall have
         the duty, on behalf of Company, to inform Trustee in writing if
         Company is Insolvent.  If a person claiming to be a creditor of
         Company alleges in writing to Trustee that Company has become
         Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Company is Insolvent and,
         pending such determination, Trustee shall discontinue payment of
         benefits to Plan participants or their beneficiaries.

              (2)  Unless Trustee has actual knowledge that Company is
         Insolvent, or has received notice from Company or a person claiming to
         be a creditor alleging that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall have
         no duty to inquire whether Company is Insolvent.  Trustee may in all
         events rely on such evidence concerning Company's solvency as may be
         furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis
         for making a determination concerning Company's solvency.

              (3)  If at any time Trustee has determined that Company is
         Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan participants or
         their beneficiaries, shall provide written notice to Plan participants
         or their beneficiaries as to why payments have ceased and shall hold
         the assets of the Trust for the benefit of Company's general
         creditors.  Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish
         any rights of Plan participants or their beneficiaries to pursue their
         rights as general creditors of Company with respect to benefits due
         under the Plan or otherwise.

              (4)  Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan
         participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of
         this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined that Company is
         not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

         (c)  Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee 
discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) 
hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following 
such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to 
Plan participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan for the 
period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made 
to Plan participants or their beneficiaries by Company in lieu of the 
payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.

SECTION 4.    INVESTMENT AUTHORITY

         (a)  Company Common Stock delivered to Trustee under the provisions 
of the Plan shall be retained in the Trust and, subject to Section 1(d) 
hereof, distributed to Plan participants or their beneficiaries in accordance 
with the provisions of the Plan.  Trustee may invest any cash dividends 
thereon in his discretion, including investments in securities (including 
stock or rights to acquire stock) or obligations issued by Company.  All 
rights associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or 
the person designated by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or 
rest with Plan participants.

         (b)  Company shall have the right, at any time, and from time to 
time in its sole discretion, to substitute assets of equal fair market value 
for any asset held by the Trust.  This right is exercisable by Company in a 
nonfiduciary capacity without the approval or consent of any person in a 
fiduciary capacity.

                                       7
<PAGE>

SECTION 5.    DISPOSITION OF INCOME

         During the term of this Trust, all income received by the Trust, net 
of expenses and taxes, shall be accumulated and reinvested.

SECTION 6.    ACCOUNTING BY TRUSTEE

         Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments, 
receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, 
including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between 
Company and Trustee.  

SECTION 7.    RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTEE

         (a)  Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence 
under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like 
capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of any 
enterprise of like character and with like aims, provided, however, that 
Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action taken pursuant 
to a direction, request or approval given by Company which is contemplated 
by, and in conformity with, the terms of the Plan or this Trust and is given 
in writing by Company.  In the event of a dispute between Company and a 
party, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the 
dispute.

         (b)  If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in 
connection with this Trust, Company agrees to indemnify Trustee against 
Trustee's reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without 
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to 
be primarily liable for such payments.

         (c)  Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on 
trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein, 
provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the 
Trust, Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other 
than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the 
policy to a different form) other than to a successor trustee, or to loan to 
any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy.

         (d)  Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant to this 
Trust Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall not have any power that 
could give this Trust the objective of carrying on a business and dividing 
the gains therefrom, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-2 of the 
Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal 
Revenue Code.

SECTION 8.    COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE

         Company shall pay all administrative and Trustee's fees and 
expenses. If not so paid, the fees and expenses shall be paid from the Trust, 
provided that such fees and expenses shall not exceed the income received by 
the Trust.

                                       8
<PAGE>

SECTION 9.    RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE

         (a)  Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to Company, 
which shall be effective ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice unless 
Company and Trustee agree otherwise.

         (b)  Trustee may be removed by Company on thirty (30) days written 
notice or upon shorter notice accepted by Trustee.

         (c)  Upon resignation or removal of Trustee and appointment of a 
successor trustee, all assets of the Trust shall subsequently be transferred 
to the successor trustee.  The transfer to the successor trustee shall be 
completed within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of resignation or 
removal, unless Company extends the time limit.

         (d)  If Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be 
appointed in accordance with Section 10 hereof, by the effective date of 
resignation or removal under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.  If no 
such appointment has been made, Trustee may apply to a court of competent 
jurisdiction for appointment of a successor or for instructions.  All 
expenses of Trustee in connection with the proceeding shall be allowed as 
administrative expenses of the Trust. 

SECTION 10.   APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR

         (a)  If Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 
9(a) or (b) hereof, Company may appoint any third party, including a bank 
trust department or other party that may be granted corporate trustee powers 
under state law, as a successor to replace Trustee upon resignation or 
removal.  The appointment shall be effective when accepted in writing by the 
new trustee, who shall have all of the rights and powers of the former 
Trustee, including ownership rights in the Trust assets.  The former Trustee 
shall execute any instrument necessary or reasonably requested by Company or 
the successor trustee to evidence the transfer.

         (b)  If Trustee resigns or is removed and, pursuant to the 
provisions of Section 9(d) hereof, a successor trustee is selected, such 
successor trustee may be any third party, including a bank trust department 
or other party that may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law.  
The appointment of a successor trustee shall be effective when accepted in 
writing by the new trustee.  The new trustee shall have all the rights and 
powers of the former Trustee, including ownership rights in Trust assets.  
The former Trustee shall execute any instrument necessary or reasonably 
requested by the successor trustee to evidence the transfer.

         (c)  The successor trustee need not review the records and acts of 
any prior Trustee and may retain or dispose of existing Trust assets, subject 
to Sections 4, 6 and 7 hereof.  The successor trustee shall not be 
responsible for any claim or liability resulting from any action or inaction 
of any prior Trustee or from any other past event, or any condition existing 
at the time it becomes successor trustee.

SECTION 11.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

         (a)  This Trust Agreement may be amended by a written instrument 
executed by Trustee and Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such 
amendment shall conflict with the terms of the Plan or violate this 
Section 11.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         (b)  The Trust shall not terminate until the date on which Plan 
participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits 
pursuant to the terms of the Plan.  Upon termination of the Trust, any assets 
remaining in the Trust shall be returned to Company.

         (c)  No Section of this Trust Agreement may be amended by Company 
for one (1) year following a Change of Control, as defined herein.

SECTION 12.   MISCELLANEOUS

         (a)  Any provision of this Trust Agreement prohibited by law shall be
ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof.

under this Trust Agreement may not be anticipated, assigned (either at law or in
equity), alienated, pledged, encumbered or subjected to attachment, garnishment,
levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.

         (c)  This Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

the following events:

              (1)  Acquisitions in one or more transactions by any person or
group, directly or indirectly, which in the aggregate cumulatively result in
transfer of beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined
voting power of the outstanding voting securities of Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, provided, however, that any acquisition
by Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related
trust) sponsored or maintained by Company or any of its subsidiaries shall not
constitute a Change of Control;

              (2)  A liquidation or dissolution of Company or the sale of all
or substantially all of Company's assets; or

              (3)  The reorganization, merger or consolidation of Company into

consolidation the shareholders of Company having beneficial ownership, directly

securities of Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
