ARTICLE VI

INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENT AND ADJUSTMENT

Section 1.

Participant's Award. The basis for Awards of any Award Year will be achievement of financial performance targets and other objectives as set forth in this Plan and, with respect to the Discretionary Portion, as determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and Committee. If the financial targets and other objectives are met for the Award Year, the Chief Executive Officer will calculate and determine the amount of the Award for each Participant based upon the extent to which the Company's financial performance targets and other objectives (as determined by the Chief Executive Officer) were achieved for the Award Year.

   

Section 2.

Partial Award. In the event an Executive Employee participates in the Plan for only part of an Award Year, the Award may be adjusted pro-rata based on the amount of time for which the Executive Employee was a Participant in the Plan.



ARTICLE VII

PAYMENT OF AWARDS

                    Subject to Article VII, each Award, as finally determined for the Award Year, shall be paid to the Participant in cash as soon as administratively feasible following final determination and approval.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Section 1.

Retirement, Death, Disability, or Other Termination. In the event of a Participant's death, disability, normal retirement, or termination of employment (unless Section 2 of this Article applies) during an Award Year, payment of the Award earned for that year will be pro-rated. In the event of death, payment shall be made to the Participant's designated beneficiary, or if there is no designated beneficiary, payment shall be made to the Participant's estate.

   

Section 2.

Forfeiture. In the event that a Participant is terminated for "cause," the Participant's entitlement to any Award, including any Award for a prior Award Year that has not been paid, shall be forfeited and the Award shall be canceled. For purposes of this Plan, termination shall be considered to be for "cause" if based upon (a) Participant's conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude or embezzlement; (b) Participant's willful activities in competition with the Company or in aid of its competitors; (c) Participant's willful and continued failure to substantially perform Participant's duties with the Company under this Plan (other than any such failure resulting from disability), under any employment agreement with the Company, or otherwise, after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Participant that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes Participant has failed to resume substantial performance of his or her duties on a continuous basis within 14 calendar days of receiving such demand; or (d) Participant willfully engaging in conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of (b), (c) and (d) above, no act, or failure to act, on Participant's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.



ARTICLE IX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 1.

No Right to Participate. Nothing in this Plan will be deemed to give a Participant or a Participant's legal representative or any other person or entity claiming under or through a Participant a contract or right to participate in the benefits of the Plan. The selection of an individual as an Executive Employee and as a Participant, as well as determination of the amount of any Award or any other determination relating to the Plan, shall be final and binding on all parties to this Plan.



-6-


Section 2.

No Employment Right. Participation in this Plan shall not be construed as constituting a commitment, guarantee, agreement, or understanding of any kind that the Company will continue to employ any Executive Employee or Participant, and this Plan shall not be construed as any type of employment contract or obligation between the Company and an Executive Employee or Participant.

   

Section 3.

Nontransferability. Neither a Participant nor any beneficiary of the Participant shall have any right to assign, transfer, attach, or hypothecate any Award, potential Award, or right to future payment of any Award or other benefit under this Plan. Payment of any amount due or to become due under this Plan shall not be subject to the claims of creditors of the Participant or to execution by attachment or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding.

   

Section 4.

Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment made under this Plan all amounts required by federal, state, or local tax laws to be withheld and shall apply to any payment made under this Plan all applicable payroll taxes and assessments.

   

Section 5.

Change in Capitalization. In the event of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or upon the sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, this Plan will terminate on the effective date of such transaction. Participants shall be entitled to prompt payment of pro-rated Awards for the Award Year during which the event occurs unless this Plan continues in whole or in part or a successor plan is substituted.


                    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this instrument is executed as an act of the Company effective as of May 1, 1999.
