3. Acquisitions and Business Realignments
--------------------------------------
Acquisition
In February 2000, the Company acquired Monarch Paint Co. (Monarch), an
architectural coatings producer. The Company has completed a preliminary
purchase price allocation for this acquisition and the operating activity
associated with Monarch has been included in the Company's results of
operations from the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price
allocation is subject to adjustment later in 2000 when finalized.
Business Realignments
In March 2000, the Company refined the restructuring plans for certain
locations related to the integration of the global automotive refinish,
automotive and industrial coatings businesses of Imperial Chemical
Industries PLC (the ICI business). These restructuring plans were
originally developed at the acquisition date (July 1999). The
restructuring plans include severance benefits for 241 employees and
resulted in an increase in goodwill of $12 million and a pretax charge of
$1 million. As of March 31, 2000, $2 million had been paid to 53 employees
and the remaining reserve of $11 million, which covered 188 employees, is
expected to be paid by the end of 2000.
The Company also completed the sale of its equity interest in an Asian
float glass plant and one Asian downstream fabrication facility. In
addition, the Company substantially completed the sale of its equity
interest in another Asian downstream fabrication facility, pending approval
of the transaction by regulatory authorities. The regulatory approval is
expected to be received in the second quarter of 2000.
During 1999, the Company approved restructuring plans associated with the
integration of the packaging coatings acquisitions and cost reduction
activities across all of its businesses that resulted in pre-tax charges of
$47 million. The components of the plans included severance benefits for
519 employees and estimated losses of $17 million on the disposal of a
redundant European facility and the disposition of the assets of a U.S.
coatings facility. As of March 31, 2000, $12 million had been paid under
the plans to 293 employees. In addition, fixed asset write-offs totaling
$1 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2000. At March 31, 2000,
the remaining reserves associated with the 1999 restructuring plans covered
226 employees. PPG anticipates that the remaining severance benefits will
be paid and the asset dispositions will be completed during 2000. In 1999,
the Company also recorded a reversal of $1 million related to reserves
established in 1999 for cost reduction initiatives in its glass and
coatings businesses.
During 1998, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $19 million in
connection with a restructuring plan to reduce costs in its glass and
coatings businesses. The components of the plan included severance
benefits for 283 employees. As of March 31, 2000, approximately $15
million has been paid out under the restructuring plan and $1 million was
reversed in 1999 for amounts that will not be paid under the plan. The
remaining reserves associated with the 1998 restructuring plan are
designated to cover 66 employees.
- 6 -
<PAGE>
At March 31, 2000, the remaining reserves associated with the 1999 and 1998
restructuring plans totaled $19 million and are expected to be paid in
2000.
In 1997, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $102
million related to certain glass businesses that were not meeting strategic
performance objectives. The principal components of this program included
the closure of the Perry, Ga., flat glass plant and the disposition of our
equity interests in two Asian float glass plants. The pre-tax
restructuring charge in 1997 included $61 million of asset write-offs and
$41 million associated with cash outlays primarily for severance costs for
317 employees, a proportionate share of equity investee indebtedness and
demolition and environmental costs, net of proceeds from sale. An
additional $15 million pretax restructuring charge was recorded in 1998
related to a reassessment of the proceeds expected to be realized on the
dispositions and additional asset write-offs. As of March 31, 2000, cash
outlays and asset write-offs associated with both the 1997 restructuring
program and the additional restructuring charge recorded in 1998 related to
this program totaled $108 million. We also reversed $3 million of these
restructuring charges in each of the years 1999 and 1998, respectively. At
March 31, 2000, approximately $3 million of reserves related to the 1997
restructuring program are outstanding and will be paid out during 2000 or
early in 2001.

<PAGE>
8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
--------------------------------------
PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and
potential, including some that it has asserted against others, in which
substantial money damages are sought. These lawsuits and claims relate to
product liability, contract, patent, environmental, antitrust and other
matters arising out of the conduct of PPG's business. The Company has been
named in a number of antitrust lawsuits alleging that PPG acted with
competitors to fix prices and allocate markets for certain glass products.
These antitrust proceedings are in an early stage. For over 30 years, the
Company has been a defendant in lawsuits involving claims alleging personal
injury from exposure to asbestos. Aggregate settlements by PPG to date
have been immaterial. Over the past few years, the number of asbestos-
related claims against the Company, as well as numerous other defendants,
has increased. At March 31, 2000, the Company was one of many defendants
in numerous asbestos-related lawsuits involving approximately 110,000
claims. In many of the cases, the plaintiffs allege that the Company
should be liable for injuries from products manufactured and distributed by
Pittsburgh Corning Corporation ("PC"). The Company and Corning
Incorporated are each 50% shareholders of PC. The Company believes it is
not responsible for any injuries caused by PC products and intends to
defend against such claims. PPG has successfully defended such claims in
the past. In January 2000, for the first time, a trial court found PPG
liable for injuries to five plaintiffs alleged to be caused by PC products.
The Company intends to appeal that verdict. On April 16, 2000, PC filed a
petition for reorganization under the federal bankruptcy code.
Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company
recorded an after-tax charge of $35 million for the write-off of its
investment in PC. The Company and others are also defendants in three
cases involving claims alleging injury from exposure to lead. PPG believes
it has adequate insurance for the personal injury and property damage
claims against the Company described above. PPG's lawsuits and claims
against others include claims against insurers and other third parties with
respect to actual and contingent losses related to environmental, asbestos
and other matters. Management believes that, in the aggregate, the outcome
of all lawsuits and claims involving PPG will not have a material effect on
PPG's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when
it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss
can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental contingencies are
exclusive of claims against third parties and are not discounted. As of
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, PPG had reserves for environmental
contingencies totaling $79 million and $82 million, respectively. Pre-tax
charges against income for environmental remediation costs for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 totaled $1 million and $2 million,
respectively, and are included in "Other charges" in the condensed
statement of income. Cash outlays related to such environmental remediation
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 aggregated $4 million
and $6 million, respectively.
Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental
contingencies, which will occur over an extended period of time, will not
result in future annual charges against income that are significantly
greater than those recorded in recent years. It is possible, however, that
technological, regulatory and enforcement developments, the results of
environmental studies and other factors could alter this expectation. In
management's opinion, the Company operates in an environmentally
- 10 -
<PAGE>
sound manner and the outcome of the Company's environmental contingencies
will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity.
In addition to the amounts currently reserved, the Company may be subject
to loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated to be as
much as $200 million to $400 million, which range is unchanged from
December 31, 1999. Such unreserved losses are reasonably possible but are
not currently considered to be probable of occurrence. Although insurers
and other third parties may cover a portion of these costs, to the extent
they are incurred, any potential recovery is not included in this
unreserved exposure to future loss. The Company's environmental
contingencies are expected to be resolved over an extended period of time.
Although the unreserved exposure to future loss relates to all sites, a
significant portion of such exposure involves three operating plant sites.
Initial remedial actions are occurring at these sites. Studies to determine
the nature of the contamination are reaching completion and the need for
additional remedial actions, if any, is presently being evaluated. The
loss contingencies related to the remaining portion of such unreserved
exposure include significant unresolved issues such as the nature and
extent of contamination, if any, at sites and the methods that may have to
be employed should remediation be required.
With respect to certain waste sites, the financial condition of any other
potentially responsible parties also contributes to the uncertainty of
estimating PPG's final costs. Although contributors of waste to sites
involving other potentially responsible parties may face governmental
agency assertions of joint and several liability, in general, final
allocations of costs are made based on the relative contributions of wastes
to such sites. PPG is generally not a major contributor to such sites.
The impact of evolving programs, such as natural resource damage claims,
industrial site reuse initiatives and state voluntary remediation programs,
also adds to the present uncertainties with regard to the ultimate
resolution of this unreserved exposure to future loss. The Company's
assessment of the potential impact of these environmental contingencies is
subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and
evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such
environmental contingencies.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
Performance Overview
Sales increased 16% in the first quarter of 2000 to $2.09 billion from $1.80
billion in the same quarter of 1999. First quarter 2000 sales increased 10% due
to acquisitions within our coatings segment, 6% from sales volume improvements
across all of our business segments and 2% from higher selling prices within our
chemicals segment. These sales increases were partially offset by a 2% decline
due to foreign currency translation primarily from the weaker euro currency that
principally affected our coatings segment.
The gross profit percentage increased to 39.9% during the first quarter of 2000
from 38.8% in the same quarter of 1999. The increase in the gross profit
percentage is due to higher selling prices for commodity chemicals in our
chemicals segment, improved manufacturing efficiencies in our chemicals and
glass segments, and favorable sales mix changes in our coatings segment. These
favorable factors were partially offset by higher raw material and energy costs
in our chemicals and coatings segments.
Net income and earnings per share, diluted, for the first quarter of 2000
increased to $139 million and $0.79, respectively, compared to $123 million and
$0.70, respectively, in the same quarter of 1999. The increase in net income
and earnings per share for the first quarter of 2000 resulted from the sales
volume improvements previously discussed, the same factors that contributed to
an improvement in the gross profit percentage, the absence of a first quarter
1999 after-tax restructuring charge of $20 million related to the integration of
packaging coatings acquisitions and earnings from acquisitions. These favorable
factors more than offset a first quarter 2000 after-tax charge of $35 million
for the write-off of an equity investment, increased income tax expense from
improved pretax earnings and higher interest expense as a result of acquisition
activity. Excluding the write-off of the equity investment in the first quarter
of 2000 and the restructuring charges in the first quarter of 1999, net income
and earnings per share, diluted, were $174 million and $0.99, respectively,
compared to $143 million and $0.81, respectively.
Performance of Business Segments
Coatings sales increased 24% to $1.13 billion from $911 million in the first
quarter of 1999. Sales increased 20% primarily from the acquisitions of the ICI
businesses and PRC-DeSoto International, Inc. (PRC-DeSoto) in the third quarter
of 1999 and 9% from volume improvements in our worldwide automotive original and
industrial businesses and, to a lesser extent, our automotive refinish and
packaging coatings businesses. These sales increases were offset in part by a
4% decline from foreign currency translation principally from the weaker euro
currency which affected all of our coatings businesses and a 1% decrease in
overall selling prices for our automotive original products in North America and
Europe. Operating income increased to $160 million in the first quarter of 2000
from $101 million in the same quarter of 1999. Operating income in the first
quarter of 2000 improved due to increased sales volumes, as previously
discussed, favorable sales mix changes in certain businesses, a reduction in
pretax restructuring charges as discussed below and earnings from acquisitions.
First quarter 2000 operating income included pretax restructuring charges of $1
million related to the integration of the ICI businesses and operating income
for the first quarter of 1999 included $24 million of restructuring charges for
the integration of packaging coatings acquisitions. The factors which
contributed to the increase in operating income more than offset the effects of
lower selling prices, as previously discussed, and higher raw material and
energy costs in our North American automotive refinish, automotive original and
industrial
- 12 -
<PAGE>
businesses. Excluding the pretax restructuring charges, operating income
increased to $161 million in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to $125
million in the same quarter of 1999.
Glass sales increased 3% to $571 million from $557 million in the first quarter
of 1999. The increase is attributable primarily to sales volume improvements in
our North American automotive original, fiber glass and flat glass businesses.
Operating income increased to $105 million in the first quarter of 2000 from $97
million in the same quarter of 1999. Improved manufacturing efficiencies in our
North American automotive original, fiber glass reinforcement and flat glass
businesses and lower selling and administrative expenses in our North American
automotive replacement and electronic and specialty fiber glass businesses more
than offset the slightly higher raw material and energy costs in our flat and
fiber glass reinforcement businesses.
Chemicals sales increased 16% to $389 million compared to $335 million in the
same quarter of 1999. Substantial increases in selling prices for our chlorine
and other chlor-alkali products contributed 12% to sales growth and volume
improvements of 5% for certain chlor-alkali and specialty chemical products were
offset slightly by a 1% decline from the negative effect of foreign currency
translation principally on our European optical products business. Operating
income increased to $74 million in the first quarter of 2000 from $36 million in
the same quarter of 1999 due to the same factors that contributed to the overall
sales increase and manufacturing efficiencies in our chlor-alkali and optical
products businesses. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher
raw material and energy costs.
Other Factors
The Company recorded a pretax charge of $39 million in the first quarter of
2000, which is included in other unallocated corporate expense, representing the
write-off of an equity investment.
The Company's pretax earnings for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999 included
net periodic pension income of $21 million and $15 million, respectively,
related to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
Interest expense increased during the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the
same quarter in 1999 due to the issuance of $800 million aggregate principal
amount of debt securities in August 1999 to repay a substantial portion of the
short-term debt issued to finance the acquisitions of the ICI businesses and
PRC-DeSoto.
The increase in the overall effective tax rate is due to the impact of the
write-off of the equity investment in the first quarter of 2000.
The increase in receivables-net is due primarily to increased sales in our
coatings and glass segments.
The increase in short-term borrowings is due in part to the issuance of
commercial paper to finance certain acquisitions.

Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". The effective date of this standard has been delayed to
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating
the prospective impact of this standard on its financial position and results of
operations.
Conversion to the Euro
On January 1, 1999, eleven of the member countries of the European Monetary
Union converted from their sovereign currencies to a common currency, the euro.
At that time, fixed conversion rates between the legacy currencies and the euro
were set. The legacy currencies will remain legal tender through July 1, 2002.
Beginning January 1, 2002, euro-denominated currency will be issued. No later
than July 1, 2002, the participating countries will withdraw all bills and coins
so that their legacy currencies will no longer be considered legal tender.
PPG has identified and substantially addressed the significant issues that may
have resulted from the euro conversion. These issues include increased
competitive pressures from greater price transparency, changes to information
systems to accommodate various aspects of the new currency and exposure to
market risk with respect to financial instruments. The impact on PPG's
operating results and financial condition from the conversion to the euro has
not been, and is not expected to be, material.
Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Management's
Discussion and Analysis and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward-
looking statements that reflect the Company's current views with respect to
future events and financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the words "aim,"
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" and other expressions
that indicate future events and trends. Any forward-looking statement speaks
only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes
no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to
consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports to
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, note the following cautionary
statements.
Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's
forward-looking statements. Among these factors are increasing price and
product competition by foreign and domestic competitors, fluctuations in the
cost and availability of raw materials, the ability to maintain favorable
supplier relationships and arrangements, economic and political conditions in
international markets, the ability to penetrate existing, developing and
emerging foreign and domestic markets, which also depends on economic and
political conditions, foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates.
Further, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors.
Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered
representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of
all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant
additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.
The consequences of material differences in the results as compared to those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things,
business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to
third parties and similar risks, any of which
- 14 -
<PAGE>
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
condition, operations or liquidity.
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, including Environmental Matters
PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential,
including some that it has asserted against others, in which substantial money
damages are sought. These lawsuits and claims relate to product liability,
contract, patent, environmental, antitrust and other matters arising out of the
conduct of PPG's business. See Note 8, "Commitments and Contingent
Liabilities," to the condensed financial statements in this Form 10-Q for an
expanded description of certain of these lawsuits. PPG's lawsuits and claims
against others include claims against insurers and other third parties with
respect to actual and contingent losses related to environmental and other
matters. Management believes that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all
lawsuits and claims involving PPG will not have a material effect on PPG's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be
reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental contingencies are exclusive of
claims against third parties and are not discounted. As of March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, PPG had reserves for environmental contingencies totaling $79
million and $82 million, respectively. Pre-tax charges against income for
environmental remediation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 totaled $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and are included in "Other
charges" in the condensed statement of income. Cash outlays related to such
environmental remediation for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
aggregated $4 million and $6 million, respectively.
Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental
contingencies, which will occur over an extended period of time, will not result
in future annual charges against income that are significantly greater than
those recorded in recent years. It is possible, however, that technological,
regulatory and enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies
and other factors could alter this expectation. In management's opinion, the
Company operates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of the
Company's environmental contingencies will not have a material effect on PPG's
financial position or liquidity.
In addition to the amounts currently reserved, the Company may be subject to
loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated to be as much as
$200 million to $400 million, which range is unchanged from December 31, 1999.
Such unreserved losses are reasonably possible but are not currently considered
to be probable of occurrence. Although insurers and other third parties may
cover a portion of these costs, to the extent they are incurred, any potential
recovery is not included in this unreserved exposure to future loss. The
Company's environmental contingencies are expected to be resolved over an
extended period of time.
Although the unreserved exposure to future loss relates to all sites, a
significant portion of such exposure involves three operating plant sites.
Initial remedial actions are occurring at these sites. Studies to determine the
nature of the contamination are reaching completion and the need for additional
remedial actions, if any, is presently being evaluated. The loss contingencies
related to the remaining portion of such unreserved exposure include significant
unresolved issues such as the nature and extent of contamination, if any, at
sites and the methods that may have to be employed should remediation be
required.
- 15 -
<PAGE>
With respect to certain waste sites, the financial condition of any other
potentially responsible parties also contributes to the uncertainty of
estimating PPG's final costs. Although contributors of waste to sites involving
other potentially responsible parties may face governmental agency assertions of
joint and several liability, in general, final allocations of costs are made
based on the relative contributions of wastes to such sites. PPG is generally
not a major contributor to such sites.
The impact of evolving programs, such as natural resource damage claims,
industrial site reuse initiatives and state voluntary remediation programs, also
adds to the present uncertainties with regard to the ultimate resolution of this
unreserved exposure to future loss. The Company's assessment of the potential
impact of these environmental contingencies is subject to considerable
uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation
and remediation, if necessary, of such environmental contingencies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
There were no material changes in the Company's exposure to market risk from
December 31, 1999.
- 16 -
<PAGE>
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- ---------------------------
In the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, it was reported
that the Company has been a defendant in lawsuits involving claims alleging
personal injury from exposure to asbestos. In many of the cases, the plaintiffs
allege that the Company should be liable under various theories for injuries
involving asbestos-containing thermal insulation products manufactured and
distributed by Pittsburgh Corning Corporation (PC). The Company and Corning
Incorporated are each 50% shareholders of PC. On April 16, 2000, PC filed a
petition for reorganization under the federal bankruptcy code. During the three
months ended March 31, 2000, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $35
million for the write-off of its equity investment in PC.
Item 2. Change in Securities and Use of Proceeds
- --------------------------------------------------
Directors who are not also Officers of the Company receive Common Stock
Equivalents pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and the
Directors' Common Stock Plan. Common Stock Equivalents are hypothetical shares
of Common Stock having a value on any given date equal to the value of a share
of Common Stock. Common Stock Equivalents earn dividend equivalents that are
converted into additional Common Stock Equivalents but carry no voting rights or
other rights of a holder of Common Stock. The Common Stock Equivalents credited
to Directors under both plans are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933 as private offerings made only to Directors of the
Company in accordance with the provisions of the plans.
Under the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, each Director must
defer receipt of such compensation as the Board mandates. Currently, the Board
mandates deferral of one-third of each payment of the basic annual retainer of
each Director. Each Director may also elect to defer the receipt of (1) an
additional one-third of each payment of the basic annual retainer, (2) all of
the basic annual retainer, or (3) all compensation. All deferred payments are
held in the form of Common Stock Equivalents. Payments out of the deferred
accounts are made in the form of Common Stock of the Company (and cash as to any
fractional Common Stock Equivalent). In the first quarter of 2000, the
Directors, as a group, were credited with 776 Common Stock Equivalents under
this Plan. The values of the Common Stock Equivalents, when credited, ranged
from $46.69 to $55.06.
Under the Directors' Common Stock Plan, each Director who neither is nor was an
employee of the Company is credited annually with Common Stock Equivalents worth
one-half of the Director's basic annual retainer. Upon termination of service,
the Common Stock Equivalents held in a Director's account are converted to and
paid in Common Stock of the Company (and cash as to any fractional Common Stock
Equivalent). In the first quarter of 2000, the Directors, as a group, received
314 Common Stock Equivalents under this Plan. The value of each Common Stock
Equivalent, when credited, was $46.69.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- -------------------------------------------------------------
At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 20, 2000 (the
Annual Meeting), the shareholders voted on the election of three directors to
serve for the terms indicated in the proxy statement relating to the Annual
Meeting. The vote was as follows:
Nominees Votes For Votes Withheld
-------- --------- --------------
Steven C. Mason 138,786,304 3,100,359
Thomas J. Usher 138,791,974 3,094,689
David R. Whitwam 138,859,974 3,026,689
There were no broker non-votes with respect to this matter. Each of the
nominees was elected to serve as a director for the terms indicated in the proxy
statement relating to the Annual Meeting.

ARTICLE I
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
------------------------
Section 1.1. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the shareholders shall
------------ ----------------
be held each year on such day as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Board of Directors") may designate, or, if not so designated, on the third
Thursday in April if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, then on the
next business day following. Annual meetings shall be held at the registered
office of the Corporation, or at such other places, within or without the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as may be designated by the Board of Directors.
Section 1.2. Business at Annual Meetings. The business at each annual
------------ ----------------------------
meeting of the shareholders shall include: (a) a review of the business of the
preceding year; (b) the election of directors; and (c) such other business as
may properly be brought before the meeting. No business may be transacted at
any annual meeting other than (i) matters referred to in the notice of the
meeting or any supplement thereto, (ii) matters otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (iii)
matters properly brought before the meeting by one or more shareholders, but
only in accordance and upon compliance with the provisions of the proxy rules of
the Securities and Exchange commission and the notice provisions of Sections 1.3
and 1.4 of these bylaws and (iv) matters which are incidental or germane to any
of the foregoing.
Section 1.3. Nominations of Director Candidates. Nominations for the
------------ -----------------------------------
election of directors at a meeting of shareholders may be made only (a) by the
Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors or (b) by
a holder of record of stock entitled to vote in the election of the directors to
be elected; but a nomination (other than a nomination to fill a vacancy
resulting from removal from office by a vote of the shareholders under Article
Sixth of the Restated Articles of Incorporation) may be made
1
<PAGE>
by a shareholder only if written notice of such nomination is given, either by
personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary
and has been received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of
the Corporation not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at
an annual meeting of shareholders held on the third Thursday in April, 90 days
prior to such annual meeting and (ii) with respect to an election to be held
at an annual meeting of shareholders held on a date other than the third
Thursday in April or an election to be held at a special meeting of the
shareholders, the close of business on the tenth day following the date of the
first public disclosure of the date of such meeting. For purposes of this
Section 1.3, the first public disclosure of the date of any special meeting of
shareholders or any annual meeting of shareholders held on a date other than
the third Thursday in April shall be when disclosure of such meeting date is
first made in a filing made by the Corporation with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in any notice given to the New York Stock Exchange, or in
a news release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Reuters, Bloomberg,
Associated Press or comparable national news service. Each notice of
nomination from a shareholder shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the
shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to
be nominated; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record
of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to be
present at the meeting in person or by proxy to nominate the person or persons
specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person
or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or
nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other information
regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be
included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, had the nominee been nominated by the
Board of Directors; and (e) the written consent of each nominee, signed by
such nominee, to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected. The
presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of
any person by a shareholder not made in compliance with the foregoing
procedure.
Section 1.4. Other Matters Brought by Shareholders. For business other
------------ --------------------------------------
than nominations of director candidates properly brought before an annual
meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (c) of Section 1.2 of these bylaws,
the shareholder must give timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and
such business must otherwise be a proper matter for shareholder action. To be
timely, a shareholder's notice shall be given, either by personal delivery or by
United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary and received by the
Secretary at the principal executive officers of the Corporation not later than
90 days prior to such annual meeting, provided that, if such
2
<PAGE>
annual meeting is held on a date other than the third Thursday in April, such
written notice must be given within ten days after the first public disclosure
of the date of such meeting. For purposes of this Section 1.4, the first
public disclosure of the date of any annual meeting of shareholders held on a
date other than the third Thursday in April shall be when disclosure of such
meeting date is first made in a filing by the Corporation with Securities and
Exchange Commission, in any notice given to the New York Stock Exchange, or in
a news release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Reuters, Bloomberg,
Associated Press or comparable national news service. Such shareholder's
notice shall set forth (a) as to each matter a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting
such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of
such shareholder; (b) the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the notice
is given and a specific representation that the shareholder intends to be
present at the meeting in person or by proxy to present and speak as to such
business; and (c) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the notice is given (i) the name and address of
such shareholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such
beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation
which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such
beneficial owner. The presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to permit
any business to be brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder without
compliance with the procedure set forth in this Section 1.4.
Section 1.5. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be
------------ -----------------
called at any time, for the purpose or purposes set forth in the call, by the
Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Special
meetings shall be held at the registered office of the Corporation, or at such
other places, within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as may be
designated by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Section 1.6. Business at Special Meetings. No business may be transacted
------------ -----------------------------
at any special meeting of the shareholders other than matters referred to in the
notice of the meeting or any supplement thereto and matters which are incidental
or germane thereto.
Section 1.7. Notice. Written notice specifying the place, date and time
------------ -------
and the general nature of business to be transacted at each meeting of the
shareholders shall be given by the Secretary to each shareholder of record
entitled to vote at such meeting.
Section 1.8. Quorum. A shareholders' meeting shall not be organized for
------------ -------
the transaction of business unless a quorum is present. At any meeting, the
presence in
3
<PAGE>
person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of
votes required by law to constitute a quorum on a particular matter in the
absence of a bylaw to the contrary, or if no such number is required by law,
at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast
on such matter, shall be necessary and sufficient to organize a meeting for
the purpose of considering such matter. Notwithstanding the withdrawal of
enough shareholders to leave less than the number of votes required by the
preceding sentence, the shareholders who continue to be present at a duly
organized meeting shall constitute a quorum in order to continue to do
business until adjournment. If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum
has not attended, those present in person or by proxy may by majority vote
adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine, and it shall
not be necessary to give notice of such adjourned meeting or the business to
be transacted at such meeting to any shareholder other than by announcement at
the meeting at which such adjournment is taken, unless the Board of Directors
fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
Section 1.9. Voting. The voting at all meetings of the shareholders may be
------------ -------
by voice; but any qualified voter may demand a stock vote, whereupon (i) with
respect to any matter specifically set forth in the notice of meeting, such
stock vote shall be taken by ballot, and (ii) in the case of any other vote,
such stock vote may be taken by ballot, by show of hands, or any other manner
selected by the presiding officer. If the vote is taken by ballot, each ballot
shall state the name of the shareholder voting and the number of shares voted by
him, and if such ballot be cast by proxy, it shall state the name of the proxy
voting and the number of shares voted by him as proxy. Each shareholder shall
be entitled to one vote for each share having voting power registered in his
name on the books of the Corporation as of the record date for the determination
of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, and it may be voted by the
shareholder or his duly authorized proxy. When a stock vote is demanded, all
questions shall be decided by a vote of shareholders present, in person or by
proxy, entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders
present and voting (excluding abstentions) are entitled to cast on the
particular matter, unless otherwise especially provided in these bylaws, in the
Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the "Restated
Articles of Incorporation"), or by law, and except that in the case of
privileged, subsidiary or incidental motions or questions involving the
convenience of the shareholders present, the presiding officer may call for a
per capita vote, either by voice or by show of hands. Where a proxy or proxies
represent the holders of shares entitled to cast in aggregate a sufficient
number of votes to adopt a particular resolution, the vote of such proxy or
proxies may, in the discretion of the presiding officer, constitute action by
the shareholders.

<PAGE>
A complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order with the address of and the number
of shares held by each, shall be prepared by the Secretary and shall be produced
and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the
inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. In lieu of
the making of a list, the Corporation may make the information therein available
at the meeting by any other means.
Section 1.10. Proxies; Appointment and Revocation. Every shareholder
------------- ------------------------------------
entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders or to express consent or
dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another
person or persons, but not more than three, to act for him by proxy. Every
proxy shall be executed in writing (including telegram, cable or radiogram,
telex, TWX, facsimile transmission or similar transmission), by the shareholder
or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact, and filed with the Secretary.
Section 1.11. Meeting Procedure. At all meetings of shareholders, the
------------- ------------------
Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside, but in his absence, the
presiding officer shall be designated by the Board of Directors, or if not so
designated, selected by the shareholders present. The Secretary shall take the
minutes of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, the presiding officer shall designate any person to take the minutes
of the meeting. The presiding officer of any meeting shall determine the order
of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the
conduct of discussion as seems to him in order. The conduct of meetings shall
be governed by accepted corporate practice (not Roberts' Rules), the fundamental
---
rule being that all who are entitled to take part shall be treated with fairness
and good faith.

(b) Directors shall, from and after the annual meeting of shareholders held
in 1987, continue to be classified with respect to the time for which
they shall severally hold office by dividing them into 3 classes, as
nearly equal in number as possible. At such meeting and at each
succeeding annual meeting of shareholders, the class of directors then
being elected shall be elected to hold office for a term of 3 years.
Each director shall hold office for the term for which elected and
until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified;
(c) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock
then outstanding, any director, any class of directors, or the entire

any time, with or without assigning any cause, but only if shareholders
entitled to cast at least 80% of the votes which all shareholders would
be entitled to cast at an annual election of directors or of such class
of directors shall vote in favor of such removal; provided, however,
that no individual director shall be removed (unless the entire Board

cast against such removal would be sufficient, if voted cumulatively
for such director, to elect him or her to the class of directors of
which he or she is a member; and
(d) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock
then outstanding, vacancies in the Board of Directors, including
vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall
be filled only by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in
office, though less than a quorum, except that vacancies resulting from
removal from office by a vote of the shareholders may be filled by the
shareholders at the same meeting at which such removal occurs. All
directors elected to fill vacancies shall hold office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders at which the term of the
class to which they have been elected expires. No decrease in the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten
the term of any incumbent director.

may be adjourned from time to time by a majority vote of those present to such
time and place as they may determine, and it shall not be necessary to give
notice of such adjourned meeting or the business to be transacted thereat other
than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.
Notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough directors to leave less than a
majority, the directors who continue to be present at a duly organized meeting
shall constitute a quorum in order to continue to do business. Unless otherwise
provided in these bylaws, in the Restated Articles of Incorporation or by law,
the acts of a majority of the directors present and voting (excluding
abstentions) at a duly organized meeting shall be the acts of the Board of

Restated Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, during any emergency period
caused by a national catastrophe or local disaster, a majority of the surviving
members (or the sole survivor) of the Board of Directors who have not been
rendered incapable of acting because of incapacity or the difficulty of
communication or transportation to the place of meeting, shall constitute a
quorum for the sole purpose of electing directors to fill such emergency
vacancies or to reduce the size of the full Board of Directors or both; and a
8
<PAGE>
majority of the directors (or the sole survivor) present at such a meeting may
take such action. Directors so elected shall serve until such absent directors
are able to attend meetings or until the shareholders act to elect directors for
such purpose. During such an emergency period, if the Board of Directors and
the Policy and Planning Committee are unable to or fail to meet, any action
appropriate to the circumstances may be taken by such officers of the
Corporation as may be present and able. Questions as to the existence of a
national catastrophe or local disaster and the number of surviving members
capable of acting shall be conclusively determined at the time by the directors
or the officers so acting.
Section 2.10. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent that the laws
------------- ------------------------
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as in effect on January 27, 1987, or as
thereafter amended, permit the elimination or limitation of the liability of
directors, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable for
monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any
action, as a director. This Section 2.10 shall not apply to any actions filed
prior to January 27, 1987, nor to any breach of performance of duty or any
failure of performance of duty by any director occurring prior to January 27,
1987. The provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a contract with
each director of the Corporation who serves as such at any time while such
provisions are in effect, and each such director shall be deemed to be serving
as such in reliance on such provisions. Any amendment to or repeal of this
Section 2.10, or adoption of any other Article or bylaw of the Corporation,
which has the effect of increasing director liability shall require the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in an annual
election of directors, voting together as a single class. Any such amendment or
repeal, other Article or bylaw, shall operate prospectively only and shall not
have effect with respect to any action taken, or any failure to act, by a
director prior thereto.

INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
Section 6.1. Entitlement to Indemnification. The Corporation shall, to the
------------ -------------------------------
extent that a determination of entitlement is made pursuant to, or to the extent
that entitlement to indemnification is otherwise accorded by, this Article,
indemnify every person who was or is a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Indemnitee") who was or is involved
in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness), or is
threatened to be made so involved, in any threatened, pending or completed
investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including without limitation, any
investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the
Corporation) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director,
officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other
representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other entity (such investigation, claim, action, suit
or proceeding
15
<PAGE>
hereinafter being referred to as a "Proceeding"), against any expenses and any
liability actually and in good faith paid or incurred by such person in
connection with such Proceeding; provided, that indemnification may be made
with respect to a Proceeding brought by an Indemnitee against the Corporation
only as provided in the last sentence of this Section 6.1. As used in this
Article, the term "expenses" shall include fees and expenses of counsel and
all other expenses (except any liability) and the term "liability" shall
include amounts of judgments, fines or penalties and amounts paid in
settlement. Indemnification may be made under this Article for expenses
incurred in connection with any Proceeding brought by an Indemnitee against
the Corporation only if (1) the Proceeding is a claim for indemnification
under this Article or otherwise, (2) the Indemnitee is successful in whole or
in part in the Proceeding for which expenses are claimed, or (3) the
indemnification for expenses is included in a settlement of, or is awarded by
a court in, a Proceeding to which the Corporation is a party.
Section 6.2. Advancement of Expenses. All expenses incurred in good faith
------------ ------------------------
by or on behalf of the Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding shall, upon
written request submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation, be advanced to
the Indemnitee by the Corporation prior to final disposition of such Proceeding,
subject to any obligation which may be imposed by law or by provision in the
Articles, bylaws, an agreement or otherwise to repay the Corporation in certain
events.
Section 6.3. Indemnification Procedure.
------------ --------------------------
(a) To obtain indemnification under this Article, an Indemnitee shall
submit to the Secretary of the Corporation a written request, including such
supporting documentation as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to the making of a determination of whether and to what
extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the
Corporation shall promptly thereupon advise the General Counsel in writing of
such request.
(b) The Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall be determined by
a Referee (selected as hereinafter provided) in a written opinion. The Referee
shall find the Indemnitee entitled to indemnification unless the Referee finds
that the Indemnitee's conduct was such that, if so found by a court,
indemnification would be prohibited by Pennsylvania law.
(c) "Referee" means an attorney with substantial expertise in corporate law
who neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to
represent: (i) the
16
<PAGE>
Corporation or the Indemnitee, or an affiliate of either of them, in any
matter material to either such party, except to act as a Referee in similar
proceedings, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim
for indemnification under this Article. The Corporation's General Counsel, if
Disinterested (as hereinafter defined), or if not, the Corporation's senior
officer who is Disinterested, shall propose a Referee. The Secretary of the
Corporation shall notify the Indemnitee of the name of the Referee proposed,
whose appointment shall become final unless the Indemnitee, within 10 days of
such notice, reasonably objects to such Referee as not being qualified,
independent or unbiased. If the Corporation and the Indemnitee cannot agree on
the selection of a Referee, or if the Corporation fails to propose a Referee,
within 45 days of the submission of a written request for indemnification, the
Referee shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The General
Counsel or a senior officer shall be deemed Disinterested if not a party to
the Proceeding and not alleged in the pleadings as to the Proceeding to have
participated in the action, or participated in the failure to act, which is
the basis for the relief sought in the Proceeding.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, to the extent that
there has been a determination by a court as to the conduct of an Indemnitee
such that indemnification would not be prohibited by Pennsylvania law, or if an
Indemnitee would be entitled by Pennsylvania law to indemnification, the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(e) A determination under this Section 6.3 shall be conclusive and binding
on the Company but not on the Indemnitee.
Section 6.4. Partial Indemnification. If an Indemnitee is entitled under
------------ ------------------------
any provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation of a
portion, but not all, of the expenses or liability resulting from a Proceeding,
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion
thereof to which the Indemnitee is entitled.
Section 6.5. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain
------------ ----------
insurance to protect itself and any Indemnitee against expenses and liability
asserted or incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
against such expense or liability by law, under an agreement or under this
Article. The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or
use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure
the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification.
17
<PAGE>
Section 6.6. Agreements. The Corporation may enter into agreements with
------------ -----------
any director, officer or employee of the Corporation, which agreements may grant
rights to the Indemnitee or create obligations of the Corporation in furtherance
of, different from, or in addition to, but not in limitation of, those provided
in this Article, without shareholder approval of any such agreement. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Corporation may obligate itself (1) to maintain
insurance on behalf of the Indemnitee against certain expenses and liabilities
and (2) to contribute to expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indemnitee in
accordance with the application of relevant equitable considerations to the
relative benefits to, and the relative fault of, the Corporation.
Section 6.7. Miscellaneous. The entitlement to indemnification and
------------ --------------
advancement of expenses provided for in this Article (1) shall be a contract
right, (2) shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee may
otherwise be entitled under any Article, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders
or directors or otherwise, (3) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to
be a director, officer or employee and (4) shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs and legal representatives of any person entitled to indemnification or
advancement of expenses under this Article.
Section 6.8. Construction. If any provision of this Article shall be held
------------ -------------
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason (1) such provision shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent of such prohibition and
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Article shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (2) to the
fullest extent possible, the remaining provisions of this Article shall be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
Section 6.9. Effectiveness. This Article shall apply to every Proceeding
------------ --------------
other than a Proceeding filed prior to January 27, 1987, except that it shall
not apply to the extent that Pennsylvania law does not permit its application to
any breach of performance of duty or any failure of performance of duty by an
Indemnitee occurring prior to January 27, 1987.
Section 6.10. Amendment. This Article may be amended or repealed at any
------------- ----------
time in the future by vote of the directors without shareholder approval;
provided, that any amendment or repeal, or adoption of any Article of the
Restated Articles or any other bylaw of the Corporation, which has the effect of
limiting the rights granted to directors under this Article, shall require the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in an
18
<PAGE>
annual election of directors, voting together as a single class. Any amendment
or repeal, or such Article or other bylaw, limiting the rights granted under
this Article shall operate prospectively only, and shall not limit in any way
the indemnification provided for herein with respect to any action taken, or
failure to act, by an Indemnitee prior thereto.
ARTICLE VII

issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if the
officer, transfer agent or registrar had not ceased to be such at the date of
its issue. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of certificates
for fractional shares or, in lieu thereof, scrip or other evidence of ownership,
which may (or may not) as determined by the Board of Directors entitle the

Corporation shall be made on the books of the Corporation only upon surrender to
the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly

or by the agent of one of the foregoing thereunto duly authorized by an
instrument duly executed and filed with the Corporation in accordance with
regular commercial practice.

holder and owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to

<PAGE>
other claim to or interest in any share on the part of any person other than
the registered holder thereof, whether or not it shall have express or other
notice thereof, except as expressly provided by law. The Board of Directors
may fix a record date, within any applicable limits imposed by law or the
Restated Articles of Incorporation, for the determination of shareholders for
any purpose, including meetings, payment of dividends, allotment of rights and
reclassification, conversion or exchange of shares. The Board of Directors may
adopt a procedure whereby a shareholder of the Corporation may certify in
writing to the Corporation that all or a portion of the shares registered in
the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a specified person or
persons. The resolution of the Board of Directors adopting such a procedure
may set forth: (1) the classification of shareholder who may certify; (2) the
purpose or purposes for which the certification may be made; (3) the form of
certification and information to be contained therein; (4) if the
certification is with respect to a record date, the time after the record date
within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and (5)
such other provisions with respect to the procedure as are deemed necessary or
desirable. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a certification complying with

Affidavit of Loss and Bond of Indemnity in such amount and upon such terms as
may be required by the transfer agent to protect the Corporation, the transfer
agent and registrar against all loss, cost or damage arising from the issuance
of such new certificates, provided that a Bond of Indemnity shall not be

--------------
4. CREDITING ACCOUNTS.
------------------
4.1 Each year on the day following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the
Company, the Company shall credit the Account of each Non-Employee Director
who serves on the Board on that day with the number of Common Stock
Equivalents determined by dividing one-half of such Director's Retainer by
the average closing price of the Common Stock in the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Transactions during the 5 days for which such price is
available immediately preceding such day of crediting. The Account of any
person who ceases to be a Director prior to April 16, 1999, shall be
credited with no more than 10 such Annual Contributions and the total
number of such Annual Contributions made to his or her Account under this
Section 4.1 plus the number which is multiplied by $10,000 to determine the
amount credited to the Account under Section 4.2 will not exceed 10. Any
Non-Employee Director who is a Director of the Company on or after April
16, 1999 and whose total number of Annual Contributions was limited to 10
under the Plan in effect prior to April 16, 1999, shall have credited to
his or her Account such additional Annual Contributions and Dividend
Equivalents as are necessary so that such Account is credited with the
number of Common Stock Equivalents it would have had credited if such
limitation had never existed.
4.2 On the day following the 1988 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the
Company, the Company shall credit the Account of each Non-Employee Director
who is age 61 or older on that date with the number of Common Stock
Equivalents determined by (1) multiplying $10,000 times his or her number
of full fiscal years of Service, but such number of full fiscal years of
Service shall not exceed the number determined by subtracting 60 from the
Non-Employee Director's age on the day immediately following the 1988
Annual Meeting of Shareholders and (2) then dividing that amount by the
average closing price of the Common Stock in the New York Stock Exchange
Composite Transactions during the 5 days for which such price is available
immediately preceding such day.

<PAGE>
5. PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS.
--------------------
5.1 Payments from the Account will be made in the form of Common Stock,
provided that payment with respect to any partial shares of Common Stock
shall be made in the form of cash. However, payments from the Account of
any Participant who ceased to be a director of the Company before August
15, 1996 shall continue to be paid in the manner provided by the Plan as
effective on August 15, 1996.
5.2 Subject to Section 5.4 and Section 5.5, a Participant may elect to have the
amount deferred paid in from one to 15 annual installments after he or she
shall cease to be a director of the Company.
Such installment(s) shall commence upon or following
(i) a specified date;
(ii) an event certain;
(iii) the earlier of a specified date or an event certain.
Installments shall continue to be payable as soon as practicable after the
first day of January of each year thereafter.
Subject to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, payment of deferred amounts shall
commence no later than January of the first calendar year which is the
later of:
(i) the year following attainment of age seventy (or such other age
as may supersede the age referred to in Section 403(f)(3) of
Title 42 United States Code); or
(ii) the year following such Participant's retirement.
The number of shares of Common Stock paid in each installment shall be
equal to the whole number obtained by dividing the number of Common Stock
Equivalents then credited to the Participant's Account by the number of
unpaid installments. Common Stock Equivalents with respect to which
payment has not yet occurred shall continue to be
4
<PAGE>
credited with Dividend Equivalents until paid. However, no installment
paid from the Account may be in an amount less than 20 shares of Common
Stock, and, to the extent necessary, installments shall be accelerated to
provide for such minimum installments. As of the date on which the last
payment of benefits is made to a Participant from the Account, the Company
shall pay the Participant, in cash, an amount equal to the value of any
remaining fractional Common Stock Equivalent based on the closing price of
the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions on
the last date such price is available prior to the payment date.
5.3 Death or Disability
-------------------
(i) Subject to Section 7, in the event of the death or disability of
a Participant either while serving as a director of the Company
or prior to the commencement of any payments hereunder, any
amount due under the Plan shall be paid in a lump sum to the
Participant's beneficiary, or in the case of disability, to the
Participant, as soon as practicable after the death or
disability.
(ii) Subject to Section 7, in the event of the death or disability of
a Participant on or after the commencement of installment
payments, in accordance with Section 5.2, payments shall continue
to paid to the Participant's beneficiary, or in the case of
disability, to the Participant, in accordance with the election
made by the Participant in accordance with Section 5.2; provided,
however, that the Secretary of the Committee shall have the power
to accelerate the payment of any installment(s) because of
hardship or other circumstances deemed by him, in his discretion,
to warrant such acceleration.
5
<PAGE>
5.4 Payment Elections
-----------------
Subject to Section 5.6, a Participant may elect the number and the date or
event for the commencement of installment payments in accordance with the
following:
(i) Such elections must be made at least six months and ten days
prior to the first payment date; and
(ii) In all cases, the elections must be made in the calendar year
preceding the first payment date.
5.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the first installment to
a Participant out of the Account shall not be paid until six months and ten
days after the Participant shall cease to be a director of the Company.
5.6 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Participant who,
pursuant to any income tax laws to which he or she is subject, would be
immediately taxed on any amounts credited under the Plan may not elect the
number and the date or event for the commencement of payments under the
Plan. Instead, the payment of all benefits to such Participant (including
any Dividend Equivalents from the Plan) shall occur as a lump sum payment
on the first business day which is 6 months and 10 days after the
Participant's last day as a member of the Board. In the event of such
Participant's death prior to receipt of the benefits, the Participant's
Beneficiary shall be paid the benefits on the first business day which is 6
months and 10 days after the Participant's last day as a member of the
Board.
6. CHANGES IN STOCK. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of
----------------
the Common Stock, or in the number thereof, by reason of any stock dividend
or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares or
other similar change, a corresponding change will be made in the number of
Common Stock Equivalents and Dividend Equivalents, if any, credited to each
Account, unless the Committee determines otherwise.
6
<PAGE>
7. ACCELERATION. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the
------------
payment of benefits hereunder to any Participant or his or her Beneficiary
for reasons of changes in tax laws or in the event of a Change in Control
of the Company; provided that no payment of benefits may be accelerated
hereunder to any Participant or his or her Beneficiary if such Participant
was a director of the Company on or after November 1, 1990.
An exception is provided for any Non-Employee Director if any income tax
laws to which he or she is subject would cause him/her to be immediately
taxed on amounts credited under the Plan. Under this exception, the
requirement that age 70 be attained before a Non-Employee Director becomes
a Participant is automatically waived by the Committee. Additionally,
under this exception, the payment of all benefits under the Plan shall
occur on the first business day which is 6 months and 10 days after the
earlier of a Participant's resignation from the Board or death. In the
event of such Non-Employee Director's death, either while still an active
member of the Board or after resignation from the Board but before receipt
of payment from the Plan, payment shall be made to the Participant's
Beneficiary on the above referenced date.
8. CHANGE IN CONTROL. Upon, or in reasonable anticipation of, a Change in
-----------------
Control (as defined above), the Company shall immediately make a payment in
cash to a trustee on such terms as the Senior Vice President, Human
Resources, and Administration and the Senior Vice President, Finance, or
either of them, shall deem appropriate (including such terms as are
appropriate to cause such payment, if possible, not to be a taxable event
to Participants) of a sufficient amount to insure that Participants receive
the payment of all amounts as contemplated under the Plan.
9. GENERAL PROVISIONS. The entire cost of benefits and administrative
------------------
expenses for this Plan shall be paid by the Company. This Plan is purely
voluntary on the part of the Company. The Company, by action of the Board
or, except as limited by the Company's bylaws, the Committee, may amend,
suspend or terminate this Plan in whole or part at any time, but no such
amendment, suspension or termination shall adversely affect the rights of
any Non-Employee Director or Beneficiary of a deceased Non-Employee
Director with respect to Common Stock
7
<PAGE>
Equivalents and Dividend Equivalents credited prior to such amendment,
suspension or termination or Dividend Equivalents which would otherwise
have been credited in the future with respect to Common Stock Equivalents
credited prior to such amendment, suspension or termination.
No rights under the Plan may be transferred or assigned except that a
Participant may designate, in writing filed with the Secretary of the
Company, his spouse or children, a trustee or his or her executor or
executrix as Beneficiary to receive any unpaid amounts under the Plan after
the death of the Participant. In the absence of any such designation or in
the event that the designated person or entity shall not be in existence at
the time a payment under the Plan comes due, the Beneficiary of the
Participant shall be the Participant's legal representative
