CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General Information

The Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Dated as of December 9, 1994,
as amended March 1, 1995, of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Plan of
Reorganization") and the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company (the "Charter") provide that, upon emerging from Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") on March 17, 1995
(the "Effective Date"), the Board of the Company shall consist of nine
members for a period of three years (until March 17, 1998). Three
Directors initially are James W. Walter, G. Robert Durham and Kenneth J.
Matlock, whose successors will be selected by the remaining Directors from
the senior officers of the Company. Subject to the exceptions discussed
below, one Director must be designated by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
("KKR"), an affiliate of certain principal stockholders of the Company, and
three Directors must be designated by Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman"),
whose affiliate Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. ("Lehman Holdings") is
another principal stockholder of the Company. Two Directors must be
Independent Directors (as defined in the following paragraph).

For the first three years after the Effective Date of the Plan of
Reorganization (the "Initial Three Year Term") the other members of the
Board initially selected are as follows: The initial Director selected by
KKR was Michael T. Tokarz, a general partner of KKR. The initial Directors
selected by Lehman were Howard L. Clark, Jr., Eliot M. Fried and Robert I.
Shapiro, the Vice Chairman and Managing Directors, respectively, of Lehman.
The two Independent Directors initially selected by management of the
Company were James B. Farley and James L. Johnson. Independent Directors
are defined as persons who (i) are not (a) officers, affiliates, employees,
Interested Stockholders, consultants or partners of any Significant
Stockholder or any affiliate of any Significant Stockholder or of any
entity that was dependent upon any Significant Stockholder or any affiliate
of any Significant Stockholder for more than 5% of its revenues or earnings
in its most recent fiscal year, (b) officers, employees, consultants or
partners of the Company or any of its affiliates, or officers, employees,
Interested Stockholders, consultants or partners of any entity that was
dependent upon the Company or any of its affiliates for more than 5% of its
revenues or earnings in its most recent fiscal year or (c) any relative or
spouse of any of the foregoing persons or a relative of a spouse of any of
the foregoing persons and (ii) are selected by management of the Company
from a list of qualified candidates provided by an independent search firm
selected by management and Lehman. For these purposes "Interested
Stockholder" means, with respect to any person, any other person that
together with its affiliates and associates "beneficially owns" (as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (the
"Exchange Act") 5% or more of the equity securities of such person, and
"Significant Stockholder" means an Interested Stockholder of the Company.

If, at any time during the Initial Three Year Term, (i) after six
months following the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization, Lehman
notifies KKR that it has determined to transfer to KKR the right to appoint
one of the three Directors initially appointed by Lehman or (ii) Lehman and
its affiliates fail to have beneficial ownership of 8% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock (without giving effect to shares of Common Stock
held in escrow pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization--see Footnote (4) to
"Security Ownership of Management and Principal Stockholders--Ownership of
Principal Stockholders" herein) (the "Outstanding Common Stock") and KKR
and its affiliates have, at such time, beneficial ownership of 8% or more
of the Outstanding Common Stock, then, in each case, KKR shall have the
right to compel one Director selected by Lehman (from among those
designated by Lehman) to resign as a Director and to appoint a successor.
If, at any time during the Initial Three Year Term, there are two Directors
designated by KKR and if KKR and its affiliates fail to have beneficial
ownership of 8% or more of the Outstanding Common Stock and Lehman and its
affiliates have, at such time, beneficial ownership of 8% or more of the
Outstanding Common Stock, then Lehman shall have the right to compel one
Director selected by KKR (from among those designated by KKR) to resign as
a Director and to appoint a successor. If, at any time during the Initial
Three Year Term, either Lehman and its affiliates or KKR and its affiliates
fail to have beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the Outstanding Common
Stock, then the Directors appointed by Lehman or by KKR, respectively,
shall resign and the remaining Directors of the Company shall appoint their
successor(s) for the remainder of the Initial Three Year Term; provided,
however, that KKR shall be entitled to designate one Director during the
Initial Three Year Term if, and so long as, the number of shares

<PAGE>

of Common Stock beneficially owned by KKR and its affiliates, together
with shares of Common Stock held in escrow pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization that would be distributed to KKR or its affiliates upon
release from escrow, shall together equal 5% or more of the then
outstanding Common Stock of the Company, including, for purposes of this
calculation only, any shares held in escrow pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization.

After the Initial Three Year Term, all the Directors of the Company
shall be elected by the Stockholders of the Company annually for a term of
one year each.

changes in the Company's and its subsidiaries' environmental, health and
safety policies. The Environmental, Health and Safety Committee consists
of three Directors. The current members of the Committee are Michael T.
Tokarz, Chairman, James L. Johnson and Robert I. Shapiro.

The Nominating Committee is responsible for establishing the criteria

<PAGE>

Pursuant to the Charter and By-laws, at all times during the Initial
Three Year Term, each committee of the Board (other than the Tax Oversight
Committee, which shall be constituted as described above) shall include
such number of Directors (but in any event at least one Director)
designated by each of KKR and Lehman so that each of KKR and Lehman has
representation on each such committee proportionate to the representation
it has on the Board. The Charter provides that the foregoing provision of
the By-laws and certain other provisions of the By-laws cannot be amended
by the Board during the Initial Three Year Term unless 67% of the whole
Board votes in favor of the amendment. Thereafter, the affirmative vote of
a majority of Directors will be required to amend those provisions.

Board and Committee Meetings

Since the Effective Date, there have been four meetings of the Board,
two meetings of the Audit Committee, two meetings of the Compensation
Committee, two meetings of the Finance Committee, no meetings of the
Environmental, Health and Safety Committee, which is scheduled to meet on
November 12, 1995, no meetings of the Nominating Committee and no meetings
of the Tax Oversight Committee, which is scheduled to meet on September 11,
1995.

The Company's normal practice is that committee meetings are held
either the day preceding the regular meetings of the Board or in the
mornings immediately prior to the Board meetings.

All of the Directors attended at least 75% of the combined number of
Board meetings and meetings of Committees of which they were members that
were held since the Effective Date.

Directors' Compensation

No Directors' fees are paid to Directors who are full-time employees
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Non-employee Directors of the
Company (Messrs. Clark, Farley, Fried, Johnson, Shapiro and Tokarz) are
paid retainer fees of $25,000 per year. Committee Chairmen receive an
additional retainer fee of $5,000 per year. Each non-employee Director
also receives a fee of $1,500 for each Board or Committee meeting attended.

On April 11, 1995, the Board approved and adopted the Walter
Industries, Inc. Directors' Deferred Fee Plan under which non-employee
Directors may elect to defer all or a portion of their Director's fees.
The deferred fees, at each electing Director's option, are credited to
either an income account or a stock equivalent account or divided between
the two accounts. The income account is credited quarterly with interest at
the prime rate and the stock equivalent account is credited with an amount
equal to the number of equivalent shares of Common Stock which could have
been purchased with the cash dividend, if any, which would have been
payable had the participant been the actual owner of the number of shares
of Common Stock credited to his account. Payments begin, at the
participant's election, upon the later of the termination of his services
as a Director or date of retirement from his principal occupation or
employment in such number of annual installments as shall be determined by
the Company. Payments from the income account are in cash and payments from
the stock equivalent account are in cash at the Common Stock's then current
market value, or, at the Company's option, in shares of Common Stock. Mr.
Farley has elected to have all of his Director's fees credited to a stock
equivalent account.

<PAGE>

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, Booker's sales of building
supplies and materials to such subsidiary totaled $5,433,513.

In March 1995, Lehman acted as an underwriter in connection with the
public issuance by Mid-State Trust IV, an affiliate of the Company, of
$959,450,000 of Mid-State Trust IV asset backed notes, for which Lehman
received underwriting commissions and fees of approximately $5,004,200.

The Company believes that the terms of the transactions between the
Company and each of Booker and Lehman, respectively, are at least as
favorable to the Company as those that could be obtained from unaffiliated
third parties.

On January 2, 1990, after filing for protection under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code, the Company filed a declaratory judgment action in the
Bankruptcy Court. The suit named Celotex, Jim Walter Corporation (the
company by that name that was, in 1990, the parent of Celotex), and certain
asbestos claimants who had filed suits against, inter alia, the Company.
The Company sought a declaration, among other things, that the Company
could not be held liable for asbestos-related liabilities of Celotex under
any theory, including veil-piercing, alter ego, fraudulent conveyance or
otherwise. On April 18, 1994 the Bankruptcy Court entered judgment in
favor of the Company on all counts. The judgment was affirmed by the
District Court for the Middle District of Florida on October 13, 1994.
Thereafter, as part of an overall settlement leading to the Plan of
Reorganization, the Company entered into the Veil Piercing Settlement
Agreement (included as an exhibit to the Plan of Reorganization) with
Celotex, Jim Walter Corporation, a class of asbestos claimants, and various
other parties. As part of the Veil Piercing Settlement Agreement the
Company paid $375 million to the Celotex Settlement Fund Recipient (as that
term is defined in the Veil Piercing Settlement Agreement). That $375
million consisted of Common Stock, cash, and Series B Senior Notes due 2000
issued by the Company. That $375 million will be held and distributed in
accordance with the terms of the Veil Piercing Settlement Agreement. Mr.
Kenneth E. Hyatt, who became the Company's President and Chief Operating
Officer on September 1, 1995 and is anticipated to be elected a Director on
September 12, 1995, was formerly President of Celotex from 1990 until his
recent resignation.

The Company has entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Walter
which will become effective upon his retirement on October 6, 1995. The
term of the agreement is for a period of three years, commencing October 6,
1995, during which time Mr. Walter will render to the Company such services
of an advisory or consulting nature as the Company may reasonably require.
Mr. Walter will be paid an annual consulting fee of $150,000. The
agreement also contains a restrictive covenant providing that, during the
term of the agreement and for a period of three years after its
termination, his employment by any person, firm or corporation which is
engaged in business in competition with the Company or its subsidiaries, or
his engaging in such business on his own account, is prohibited.

sole general partner of each of JWC Associates, L.P., JWC Associates
II, L.P. and KKR Partners II, L.P. (the "KKR Investors") and Channel

(5) As a result of errors by the balloting agent in recording elections to
receive cash and Series B Senior Notes Due 2000 of the Company in lieu
of a portion of the Common Stock to be received under the Plan of
Reorganization by holders of subordinated debt of the Company outstanding
prior to the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization, the number of
shares of Common Stock to be received by Lehman and other holders of such
subordinated debt was determined from a ruling by the Bankruptcy Court as
to which elections were proper. Appeals have been filed to the Bankruptcy
Court's decision, which appeals, if successful, could cause additional
shares of Common Stock to be delivered to Lehman (in lieu of a portion of
the cash and Series B Senior Notes Due 2000 previously delivered to
Lehman) pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. When such appeals have
been finally adjudicated, such number of shares will be finally
determinable.

(1) Disclosure is only provided as to the last two full fiscal years of
the Company because prior thereto it was not a "reporting company"
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(2) For fiscal 1995, the amounts shown in this column include bonuses paid
to the named executive officers pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization
in addition to incentive bonus compensation. At the time of filing by
the Company and virtually all of its subsidiaries under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code, accounting professionals for the official
committees in the Chapter 11 cases recommended that the Company adopt
a retention bonus arrangement, a common method of assuring retention
of key personnel during bankruptcy proceedings. The Company decided
not to adopt such a retention bonus plan, but determined instead to
pay bonuses informally upon completion of the reorganization to key
personnel who continued their employment with the Company and its
subsidiaries during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases (which were
initiated on December 27, 1989 and concluded on March 17, 1995)
despite the unavailability of long-term incentive compensation plans
and the limitations on salaries and incentive compensation imposed by
the Bankruptcy Court during such time. The Company's proposal to make
such informal payments was incorporated in the Plan of Reorganization
and approved by the Bankruptcy

<PAGE>

Court. Such bonuses were paid upon the Effective Date of the Plan of
Reorganization in the amounts of $800,000; $800,000; $600,000;
$400,000 and $175,000 to Messrs Durham, Walter, Matlock, Weldon and
Temple, respectively.

(3) The amounts shown in this column for fiscal 1994 represent the
Company's contributions for the account of each of the named executive
officers to the Walter Industries Profit Sharing Plan (the "Profit
Sharing Plan") and accruals for the related Supplemental Profit
Sharing Plan (the "Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan") which provides
benefits which would have been provided under the tax qualified Profit
Sharing Plan but for restrictions on such benefits imposed by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"). The Profit
Sharing Plan and the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan amounts are for
the plan year ended August 31, 1994. Amounts for the plan year ended
August 31, 1995 are not currently available, but are anticipated not
to be materially different from amounts for the plan year ended August
31, 1994.

In its fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, the Company was not subject to
Section 162(m) of the IRC, which limits the deduction for compensation of
certain officers to one million dollars annually unless certain stated
performance goals are met.

Performance Graph

The Company is unable to provide a line graph at this time which
compares the yearly percentage change in its cumulative total stockholders'
return with various industry indices in order to match compensation
decisions and practices with performance. The Company emerged from its
Chapter 11 reorganization on March 17, 1995 and the Company's Common Stock
has only been traded since that date. The Chapter 11 reorganization
proceedings in which the Company was involved for approximately five and
one-quarter years did not provide a realistic or comparable market. All of
the Company's common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Date was
cancelled, and trading of the new Common Stock since the Effective Date is
not relevant to executive compensation prior to such date. There were no
cash dividends while in reorganization, nor have there been any cash
dividends since the Effective Date.

Annual Benefits Payable Under Pension Plans

The table below sets forth the aggregate estimated annual retirement
benefits payable under the Pension Plan for Salaried Employees of
Subsidiaries, Divisions and/or Affiliates of Walter Industries (the
"Pension Plan") and under the Company's unfunded, non-qualified,
Supplemental Pension Plan (the "Supplemental Pension Plan" and together
with the Pension Plan, the "Pension Plans") for employees retiring at
normal retirement age (65) on June 1, 1995 and is based on social security
covered compensation in effect on June 1, 1995:

600,000 130,806 174,408 218,010 261,612 305,214

Benefit payments under the Pension Plans are based on final average
annual compensation (including overtime pay, incentive compensation and
certain other forms of compensation reportable as wages taxable for Federal
income tax purposes) for the five consecutive years within the final ten
years of employment prior to normal retirement date (65) which produce the
highest average. This is equivalent to the sum of the amounts included
under the Salary and Bonus column headings in the Summary Compensation
Table above. Benefit amounts are shown on a straight-line annuity basis,
payable annually upon retirement at age 65. No offsets are made for the
value of any social security benefits earned. In the case of the
Supplemental Pension Plan, the applicable company may, in its sole
discretion, elect to furnish any and all benefits due by purchasing
annuities, or by other means at its disposal, including payment of the
present value of such benefits.

Only employees of the Company's subsidiaries (except Jim Walter Homes,
Inc., Mid-State Homes, Inc., Best Insurors, Inc., Best Insurors of
Mississippi, Inc., Jim Walter Insurance Services, Inc., Dixie Building
Supplies, Inc. and Coast to Coast Advertising, Inc.) participate in the
Pension Plans. Of the named executive officers, only Messrs. Matlock (due
to his past service with a subsidiary of the Company) and Temple are
participants in the Pension Plans with six and ten years of credited
service, respectively; Messrs. Durham, Walter and Weldon are not
participants in the Pension Plans.

<PAGE>

Employment Agreement

The Company has an employment agreement with G. Robert Durham dated
June 19, 1993 (the "Durham Employment Agreement"), pursuant to which the
Company agreed to employ Mr. Durham as, and Mr. Durham agreed to serve as,
President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of
Directors of the Company until May 31, 1995. The Durham Employment
Agreement was automatically renewed on June 1, 1995 and shall be
automatically renewed from year to year on each June 1 thereafter until
terminated by either Mr. Durham or the Company on 60 days written notice to
the other party. The Durham Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Durham
will receive a base annual salary of $450,000, with additional incentive
compensation to be determined by the Company's Board in accordance with
past practices. Under the Durham Employment Agreement, Mr. Durham is
entitled to be indemnified for his acts as an officer of the Company, and
is entitled to participate in other Company employee benefit plans,
including the Profit Sharing Plan and the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan.

If Mr. Durham's employment is terminated, Mr. Durham shall be entitled
to receive his then current base salary for the balance of the Company's
fiscal year in which employment is terminated plus, if such termination is
without cause, a pro rata amount of incentive compensation for that year.
In the case of Mr. Durham's death during any period of renewal of the
Durham Employment Agreement, his executor, administrator, testamentary
trustee, legatees or beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled
to receive his then current base salary during the nine-month period
following the date of death.

Profit Sharing Plans

Under the Profit Sharing Plan and the Supplemental Profit Sharing
Plan, amounts contributed by the Company for the benefit of the
participants become payable upon termination of employment. In the case of
the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan, accrued amounts are payable, at the
discretion of the Company, in either a lump sum or in sixty equal monthly
installments. While the Profit Sharing Plan provides retirement benefits
for all salaried employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries
not covered by the Pension Plans, the Company makes accruals for the
Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan only for such employees as to which the
full contribution under the Profit Sharing Plan has been limited by the
IRC. For the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan year ended August 31, 1995,
only four employees, Messrs. Walter, Durham, Matlock and Weldon, qualified
for participation in the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan. Amounts for the
plan year ended August 31, 1995 are not currently available but are
anticipated not to be materially different from amounts for the plan year
ended August 31, 1994 which are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table
above.

Compensation Committee Interlocks or Insider Participation in Compensation
Decisions

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, James W. Walter, Chairman
of the Board of the Company, and G. Robert Durham, President and Chief
Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, participated in
deliberations of the Company's Board concerning executive compensation.
However, none of the employee Directors (Messrs. Walter, Durham and
Matlock) voted on executive compensation matters in which they were
directly involved; instead they abstained on such occasions.

<PAGE>

Report of the Compensation Committee

The Board's Compensation Committee approves compensation decisions
relating to the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' executive
officers and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation
of the Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer. The
Committee also approves awards under the Company's 1995 Long-Term Incentive
Stock Plan. The Committee, which was organized on March 20, 1995 following
the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 on March 17, 1995, is made up
exclusively of non-employee directors.

Since the Company only emerged from Chapter 11 on March 17, 1995, less
than three months prior to the May 31, 1995 end of the Company's fiscal
year, the Committee retained the plans for granting salary increases and
incentive compensation which had been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and
had been utilized for the more than five-year period during which the
Company was in Chapter 11. The Committee has engaged an outside consultant
to make recommendations for salary and incentive compensation plans to be
adopted for future use in determining compensation for the Company's and
its subsidiaries' executive officers.

The objectives of the Committee in defining the Company's executive
compensation programs will be to attract, retain and motivate highly
qualified executives responsible for the success of the Company and to
administer such programs in an appropriate manner for the long-term
interests of the Company and its Stockholders.

As previously stated, until a new compensation program relating to
salaries and incentive compensation is recommended by the outside
consultant and adopted by the Committee, incentive compensation will be
determined under the rules established by the Bankruptcy Court. Salary
increases are also being administered under the Bankruptcy Court rules.
Under these rules salary increases, except for those of the Chairman and
the President and Chief Executive Officer, are limited in the aggregate to
5.5% of base salaries in each fiscal year. Salaries of the Chairman and
the President and Chief Executive Officer require the approval of the Board
(and until March 17, 1995, the creditors committees). Under the
compensation plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court, incentive compensation
of the Company's executive officers, except for the Chairman and the
President and Chief Executive Officer, were paid from a pool which was
based on consolidated operating income, as defined, of the Company and its
subsidiaries, as compared to planned operating income (subject, until March
17, 1995, to review by the creditors committees), and was allocated to the
individual officers based on the recommendation of senior management of the
Company and approved by its Board. Incentive compensation for the Chairman
and the President and Chief Executive Officer was approved by the Board
(subject, until March 17, 1995, to approval by the creditors committees).
The incentive compensation paid to the officers for the fiscal year ended
May 31, 1995 was determined in this manner and was then reviewed and
approved by the Committee. The incentive compensation paid to the Chairman
and the President and Chief Executive Officer for the fiscal year ended May
31, 1995 was recommended by the Committee and approved by the Board.

Shortly after the Effective Date of the Company's Plan of
Reorganization, an Effective Date bonus was paid to the Company's and its
subsidiaries' executive officers, including the Chairman and the President
and Chief Executive Officer, as well as to numerous other officers and key
employees. This bonus was part of the Company's Plan of Reorganization as
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The Effective Date bonus was negotiated
with the various creditor constituencies and was agreed to as part of the
Plan of Reorganization since, at the inception of the Chapter 11
proceedings, the Company had declined to adopt an executive and key
employee retention plan of the type customary in Chapter 11 proceedings.

In order to provide long-term incentives to the Company's executive
officers, as well as to numerous other officers and key employees, the
Committee recommended to the Board adoption of the 1995 Long-Term Incentive
Stock Plan for up to three million shares of the Company's Common Stock.
This plan had been designed by the outside consultant engaged by the
Committee. The Board adopted such plan on July 12, 1995, subject to
approval of the Company's Stockholders at the annual meeting of
Stockholders on October 17, 1995.

Under the 1995 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan, the Committee granted,
effective July 12, 1995 but subject

to Stockholder approval of the plan, non-qualified stock options to
purchase a total of 1,347,000 shares of Common Stock to executive officers
and certain other officers and key employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The options were granted at a purchase price equal to 100%
of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on July 12, 1995 as
determined by the average of the closing bid and asked prices furnished by
a professional market maker making a market in the Common Stock. The
options were granted in consideration of services rendered and to be
rendered. The options are intended to provide executive officers and other
officers and key employees with an increased incentive to make
contributions to the long-term performance and growth of the Company, to
join the interests of officers and key employees with the interests of
Stockholders and to attract and retain qualified employees.

MATTERS TO BE PRESENTED TO THE ANNUAL MEETING

1. TO APPROVE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.

Unless the Stockholders shall direct otherwise, Proxies received will
be voted FOR the approval of the proposal of the Board to appoint Price
Waterhouse LLP as independent certified public accountants for the fiscal
year ending May 31, 1996. A representative of Price Waterhouse LLP will be
present at the Meeting. He will have the opportunity to make a
statement if he desires to do so and will be available to respond to
appropriate questions. Price Waterhouse LLP has served as independent
certified public accountants for the Company since its formation in 1987.

The Board recommends voting FOR approval of the appointment of Price
Waterhouse LLP as independent certified public accountants for the Company
for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1996.

2. TO APPROVE THE 1995 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN OF WALTER
INDUSTRIES, INC.

General Information

Based upon the Compensation Committee's recommendations to the Board
to adopt the 1995 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan of Walter Industries, Inc.
(the "Plan"), the Plan was considered, approved and adopted by the Board at
its meeting on July 12, 1995. The purposes of the Plan are: to promote
the interests of the Company and its Stockholders by strengthening the
Company's ability to attract and retain highly competent officers and other
key employees; to permit opportunities for Plan participants to be rewarded
using stock-based incentives; and to provide a means to encourage stock
ownership and proprietary interest in the Company by the recipients of
awards made under the Plan. The summary of the material features of the
Plan that follows is in all respects subject to and qualified by reference
to the actual text of the Plan, which appears in its entirety as Exhibit A
to this Proxy Statement.

The Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board, or such
other committee as the Board may appoint to administer the Plan (in either
case, the "Committee"), to grant eligible employees options to purchase
shares of Common Stock. The options may be either options that qualify for
the special tax treatment accorded to incentive stock options ("ISOs")
under section 422 of the IRC, or options that do not so qualify (so-called
"Non-Qualified Stock Options" or "NQSOs"). The Plan also authorizes the
Committee to grant eligible employees stock appreciation rights ("SARs")
and stock awards. Options, SARs and stock awards may be granted singly, in
combination or in tandem, or in replacement of, as alternatives to or as
the payment form for grants or rights under any other compensation plan of
the Company. The variety of stock incentive awards authorized to be
granted under the Plan, as well as the wide discretion which the Plan
confers upon the Committee to determine the terms and conditions of the
awards, are intended to give the Committee flexibility to adapt the
Company's equity-based compensation practices to the changing business and
regulatory environment in which it operates.

If approved by Stockholders, the Plan will remain in effect until the
tenth anniversary of such approval, or until the Plan is sooner terminated
by the Board. In accordance with applicable provisions of the IRC, no ISOs
may be granted under the Plan after March 20, 2005. If the Plan is not
approved by Stockholders, the Plan will be null, void and of no force or
effect.

A total of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued or
transferred under the Plan, all of which may (but need not) be issued or
transferred in respect of ISOs. The maximum number of such shares with
respect to which stock options or SARs may be granted to any employee
during the period in which the Plan is in effect is 500,000 shares, and the
aggregate number of such shares that may be used in settlement of stock
awards is 1,000,000. Shares used under the Plan may be authorized and
unissued shares or treasury shares or any combination thereof. Shares
subject to an award which is forfeited, expires or is cancelled shall
become available for the granting of other awards. Any shares and awards
issued by the Company as a result of its assumption

<PAGE>

of, or in substitution for, awards previously granted by an acquired entity
shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the
Plan. The Plan provides for the Committee to make such proportionate
adjustments as it deems appropriate in the share limitations set forth
above, outstanding grants, and the exercise price of outstanding stock
options, SARs or similar awards, to reflect recapitalizations, stock
splits, stock dividends, mergers, spin-offs and similar transactions. Any
cash proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of shares pursuant
to the exercise of options or the settlement of other awards under the Plan
shall be available for general corporate purposes.

Any employee of the Company or any entity that is directly or
indirectly controlled by the Company or in which the Company has a
significant equity interest (as determined by the Committee) is eligible to
be selected by the Committee to participate in the Plan, including officers
and members of the Board who are employees of the Company. The number of
persons who are eligible to be selected to participate in the Plan at the
present time is approximately 150 and is subject to change.

The Plan is administered by the Committee which, within the parameters
set forth in the Plan, determines the type of awards to grant, selects
participants from the class of employees eligible to participate,
determines the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to each
award, and determines the terms and conditions of the awards. The
Committee interprets the Plan and is authorized to make all determinations
and decisions thereunder. The Committee is not authorized to cancel
outstanding stock options or SARs for the purpose of replacing them with
stock options or SARs that have lower exercise prices. Under the Plan,
the Committee must consist of two or more members of the Board, each of
whom qualifies as a "disinterested person" under the Securities and
Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") Rule 16b-3 and as an "outside director"
within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the IRC, unless the Company's
Board determines otherwise. (SEC Rule 16b-3 exempts certain transactions
by executive officers and directors under employee benefit plans such as
the Plan from the short-swing trading rules of federal securities
legislation. Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the IRC exempts certain performance-
based compensation from the $1 million limit on the amount of certain
executives' compensation which publicly traded corporations may deduct on
their tax returns, provided, among other matters, the performance goals are
determined by a board committee comprised solely of outside directors).

Unless the Committee determines otherwise, transactions by executive
officers and Directors under the Plan are intended to qualify for the
exemptions available under SEC Rule 16b-3, and awards granted to executive
officers are intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" if
such qualification is necessary to preserve the Company's deduction for
such awards under Section 162(m) of the IRC. The Plan is specifically
intended to give the Committee authority to grant awards that will
qualify as "performance-based compensation" as well as awards that will
not so qualify.

Stock options and other awards granted under the Plan shall be
evidenced by agreements that set forth the terms and conditions of the
award. The Committee need not require the execution of any such agreement
by the recipient, in which case acceptance of the award by the recipient will
constitute the participant's agreement to the terms and conditions of the
award.

Awards granted under the Plan (including stock options) are exercisable,
during the employee's lifetime, only by the employee and are not transferable
by the employee except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or to a
designated beneficiary. However, the Committee may in its discretion
authorize an employee who is granted a NQSO or any other award (other than an
ISO or an award linked to an ISO) to transfer the award during his lifetime to
members of his immediate family or to family trusts or partnerships without
consideration, for estate planning purposes. In the event of such a transfer,
the award would continue to be subject to substantially the same terms and
conditions as applied before the transfer occurred.

The Committee may permit or require any award under the Plan to be
deferred with or without interest, to be paid in cash or shares of Common
Stock or a combination thereof, and to earn amounts equivalent to dividends
("Dividend Equivalents"), which may be paid currently in cash or shares or
may be credited to the participant's account, as the Committee may
determine. If credited to the participant's account, Dividend

<PAGE>

Equivalents may be deemed reinvested in additional shares or units
equivalent to shares, as the Committee may determine. Dividends
Equivalents that are paid in cash in conjunction with awards shall not be
counted against the shares available for issuance under the Plan.

The Plan is not intended to preclude the establishment or continuation
of, or be a substitute for, any other employee compensation plan, practice
or arrangement which the Company now has or may hereafter put into effect,
including, without limitation, any retirement, incentive compensation,
stock purchase, stock option or stock bonus plan.

Options

The price at which a share of Common Stock may be purchased under any
option granted under the Plan will be at least 100% of the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted (or, if
greater, the par value of a share). Under the Plan, "fair market value"
means the mean between the high and low sale prices of a share of Common
Stock in consolidated trading on the date in question as reported in the
Wall Street Journal or, if such prices are not reported in the Wall Street
Journal, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices of a share of
Common Stock on the date in question as furnished by a professional market
maker making a market in the Common Stock.

Options may be granted for such lawful consideration as the Committee
may determine when the options are granted. Such consideration may consist
of money or other property, tangible or intangible, or labor or services
received or to be received by the Company. Property for this purpose
includes an obligation of the Company unless prohibited by applicable law.
Thus, for example, in the discretion of the Committee, options may be
granted in lieu of compensation that would otherwise be paid in cash, or in
consideration of the employee's continuing in the Company's employ for a
period of time after the date the option is granted. Options may become
exercisable in full at the time of grant or at such other time or times and
in such installments as the Committee may determine. The Plan provides
that the Committee may at any time accelerate the date on which an option
becomes exercisable, and no additional consideration need be received by
the Company in exchange for such acceleration. Options may be exercised
during such periods before and after the date on which the optionee ceases
to be an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries as the Committee may
determine. Each option will expire at such time as the Committee may
determine at the time of grant, but no option will be exercisable after the
tenth anniversary of the date on which it was granted.

The purchase price of the shares subject to an option may be paid in
cash or such other method as the Committee may permit, such as: (i)
tendering (actually or by attestation) shares of Common Stock already owned
by the optionee, or (ii) authorizing a third party (such as a stockbroker)
to sell the shares (or a portion of the shares) being purchased upon
exercise of the option, and assigning to the Company a sufficient amount of
the sale proceeds to pay for all the shares being purchased (and any taxes
due on the exercise). If an optionee pays the purchase price by
surrendering shares of Common Stock he or she already owns, such shares
will be valued at their fair market value on the date of such surrender and
will be added back to the number of shares available for issuance under the
Plan.

The Committee may provide at the time of grant of an option (the
"Original Option") that the employee shall be granted an additional option
(a "Restored Option") in the event such employee pays the purchase price of
the shares subject to the Original Option by tendering shares of Common
Stock the employee already owns. Each Restored Option may cover a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
surrendered by the employee in payment of the purchase price, shall have a
purchase price per share of Common Stock for the Restored Option equal to
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of such
Restored Option, and shall expire not later than the stated expiration date
of the Original Option.

Stock Appreciation Rights

SARs represent the right to receive a payment, in cash, shares of
Common Stock or a combination of cash and such shares, equal to the excess of
the fair market value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the
date the SARs are exercised over the fair market value of such number of
shares on the date the SARs

<PAGE>

were granted (or, in the case of SARs granted retroactively in tandem with
or in substitution for a stock option, the excess of the fair market value,
on the date the SARs are exercised, of the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to the option over the fair market value of such shares on the date
the option was granted). If SARs are settled in cash, the shares covered
by the SARs shall remain available for awards under the Plan.

Stock Awards

The Committee may award eligible employees shares of Common Stock or
units equivalent in value to shares of Common Stock, subject to such terms,
conditions and restrictions as the Committee may impose, which may (but
need not) include requirements of continuous service with the Company
and/or the achievement of performance goals ("Stock Awards"). The
performance criteria that the Committee may use for this purpose include,
without limitation, total stockholders' return, earnings and revenue
growth, and profitability as measured by return ratios. If a Stock Award
is settled in cash, the shares covered by such award shall remain available
for awards under the Plan.

Certain Change in Control Provisions

Under the Plan, the Committee may provide, either at the time an award
is granted or at a subsequent date, for appropriate adjustments and
settlements of awards, including accelerated vesting, in contemplation of,
or if the Company undergoes, a change in control (as defined by the
Committee), a merger or consolidation with another corporation in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation, or a liquidation or
reorganization.

Amendment of the Plan

The Board may amend the Plan at any time and in any respect without
Stockholder approval, unless Stockholder approval of the amendment in
question is required under Delaware law, the IRC, any applicable exemption
from Section 16 of the Exchange Act for which the Company intends
transactions by executive officers or directors to qualify, any national
securities exchange or system on which the Common Stock is then listed or
reported, or under any other applicable laws, rules or regulations. The
Board may also terminate the Plan at any time. However, no amendment or
termination of the Plan may adversely affect any awards that were granted
before the date of such amendment or termination without the consent of the
participant.

_____________________

(1) The amounts of hypothetical potential appreciation shown in these
columns reflect required calculations at annual appreciation rates of
5% and 10% set by the SEC and, therefore, are not intended to
represent either historical appreciation or anticipated future
appreciation in the price of Common Stock.

(2) The exercise price was the "fair market value" of the Company's Common
Stock on July 12, 1995, the date of grant. Under the Plan, "fair
market value" means the mean between the high and low sale prices of a

<PAGE>

share of Common Stock in consolidated trading on the date in question
as reported in the Wall Street Journal or, if such prices are not
reported in the Wall Street Journal, the mean between the closing bid
and asked prices of a share of Common Stock on the date in question as
furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Common
Stock.

(3) Does not include a ten-year Non-Qualified Stock Option for 150,000
shares of Common Stock dedicated for issuance to the Company's new
President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Kenneth E. Hyatt. At the
date of this writing, it is expected that such option will be granted
effective September 1, 1995 and the exercise price will be the fair
market value of the Common Stock on that date.

If Stockholders approve the Plan, each of the foregoing options will
become exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing on the
first anniversary of the date of grant and continuing on each of the two
anniversaries thereafter. The right to exercise all of the options
generally expires on the tenth anniversary of the date on which they were
granted, and is contingent on the optionee's refraining from conduct which
the Committee determines is contrary to the best interests of the Company
(including but not limited to competition with the Company). Except in the
case of the seven executive officers (options for 675,000 shares in total)
and one non-executive officer (option for 10,000 shares) described below,
the right to exercise any installment is contingent on the optionee's
remaining in the employ of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company until
the date on which the installment becomes exercisable, and terminates
within three months after termination of employment. In recognition of
their having continued in the Company's employ until its emergence from
Chapter 11 and to reward them for their past, present and future services,
each installment of the options that were granted to Messrs. Walter,
Durham, Matlock and Weldon and three other executive officers and one non-
executive officer is to become exercisable on its scheduled anniversary
date whether or not the individual is then employed by the Company or a
subsidiary, and is to terminate five years after the individual terminates
such employment or, if later, one year after death.

The amount of options and benefits to be received by or allocated to
any individual under the Plan in the future, or that would have been
received by or allocated to any individual if the Plan had been in effect
during the last completed fiscal year, is not determinable at the present
time, as all such determinations under the Plan are to be made by the
Committee in its sole discretion. The market value of a share of Common
Stock on August 25, 1995, the latest practicable date before completion of
this Proxy Statement, was $14.1875.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following brief description of the Federal income tax consequences
of awards under the Plan is based on Federal income tax laws currently in
effect and does not purport to be a complete description of such Federal
income tax consequences.

Limitation on Corporate Deductions for Certain Executives'
Compensation. Under Section 162(m) of the IRC, the amount which the Company
may deduct on its Federal income tax returns for compensation paid to
certain "covered employees" (generally the chief executive officer and the
four highest paid executive officers other than the chief executive
officer) in any taxable year is generally limited to $1 million per
individual. However, certain compensation, including compensation that
qualifies as "performance-based compensation", is not subject to the
$1 million deduction limit. As mentioned under "General Information" above,
the Plan authorizes the Committee to grant awards under the Plan that
qualify as "performance-based compensation" as well as awards that do not.
As a result, the Company may not be entitled to any deduction mentioned
below if the individual in question is a "covered employee", the amount in
question does not qualify as "performance-based compensation", and the
amount in question, when added to the covered employee's other taxable
compensation that is not "performance-based" in the same taxable year,
exceeds $1 million. At the present time, the Company expects any options
granted under the Plan to qualify as "performance based" and does not
anticipate that deductions for awards under the Plan will be limited by the
provisions of Section 162(m) of the IRC.

Options. There are no Federal income tax consequences either to the
optionee or the Company upon the grant of an ISO or a NQSO. If shares are
purchased under an ISO (i.e., an ISO is exercised) during employment

<PAGE>

or within three months thereafter, the optionee will not recognize any
income and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction in respect of
the option exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the
shares on the date of such exercise over the purchase price of the shares
under the option will be includible in the optionee's alternative minimum
taxable income, which may give rise to alternative minimum tax liability
for the optionee in the year of exercise. Generally, if the optionee
disposes of shares purchased under an ISO within two years of the date of
grant or one year of the date of exercise of the ISO, the optionee will
recognize ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction,
equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of
exercise over the purchase price of such shares (but not more than the
actual gain realized by the optionee on the disposition of the shares).
Any gain after the date on which the optionee purchased the shares will be
treated as capital gain to the optionee and will not be deductible by the
Company. If the shares are disposed of after the two year and one year
periods mentioned above, the Company will not be entitled to any deduction,
and the entire gain or loss realized by the optionee will be treated as
capital gain or loss.

When shares are purchased under a NQSO, the excess of the fair market
value of the shares on the date of purchase over the purchase price of such
shares under the option will generally be taxable to the optionee as
ordinary income and deductible by the Company. The disposition of shares
purchased under a NQSO will generally result in a capital gain or loss for
the optionee, but will have no Federal income tax consequences for the
Company.

Stock Appreciation Rights, Stock Awards and Dividend Equivalents. An
employee who receives cash or shares of Common Stock in settlement of SARs
or in payment of a Stock Award or Dividend Equivalents will recognize
ordinary income equal to the sum of the cash and the fair market value of
the shares received, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding
deduction from its income.

The Board of Directors recommends voting FOR approval of the 1995
Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan.

EXHIBIT A

1995 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN
OF WALTER INDUSTRIES, INC.

1. Purposes of the Plan

The purposes of the 1995 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan")
of Walter Industries, Inc. (the "Company") are to: promote the interests
of the Company and its shareholders by strengthening the Company's ability
to attract and retain highly competent officers and other key employees;
permit the awarding of opportunities for Plan participants to be rewarded
using stock-based incentives; and to provide a means to encourage stock
ownership and proprietary interest in the Company by the recipients of
awards made under the Plan.

2. Effective Date of Plan and Duration of Plan

The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the Board of
Directors of the Company. However, in no event shall the Company issue,
transfer or distribute, or have any legal obligation to issue, transfer or
distribute, nor shall any participant in the Plan have any legal right to
receive, any shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per
share ("Shares"), cash, property or other consideration in respect of any
award granted under the Plan, and in no event shall any stock option or
other award granted under the Plan be or become exercisable, redeemable or
non-forfeitable, unless and until the shareholders of the Company approve
the Plan. Unless previously terminated by the Company's Board of Directors
(the "Board"), the Plan shall expire at the close of business on the tenth
anniversary of such shareholder approval.

3. Plan Administration and Related Matters

a) Committee--The Compensation Committee of the Board, or such
other committee (the "Committee"), as may be appointed by the Board shall
be responsible for administering the Plan. Unless the Board determines
otherwise, the Committee shall be comprised of at least two non-employee
members of the Board who shall qualify to administer the Plan as
contemplated by both Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "1934 Act"), and Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each member of the Committee shall serve
for such term as the Board may determine, subject to removal by the Board
at any time.

b) Committee Authority--The Committee shall have full and exclusive
power to interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and
guidelines for carrying out the Plan as it may deem necessary or proper,
all of which power shall be executed in keeping with the provisions and
objectives of the Plan. This power includes, but is not limited to,
selecting award recipients, establishing all award terms and conditions,
adopting procedures and regulations governing awards, and to make all other
determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.
In no event, however, shall the Committee have the right to cancel
outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights (the "SARs") for the
purpose of replacing or regranting such options or SARs with a purchase
price that is less than the purchase price of the original option. All
decisions made by the Committee shall be final and binding on all persons
affected by such decisions.

c) Rule 16b-3 Requirements; Code Section 162(m)--Any provision of
the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Committee may impose
such conditions on any award as it may determine, on the advice of counsel,
are necessary or desirable to satisfy any exemption from Section 16 of the
1934 Act for which the Company intends transactions by participants in the
Plan who are subject to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act with respect to
purchases and sales of equity securities of the Company ("Section 16
Persons") to qualify, including without limitation SEC Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the 1934 Act ("SEC Rule 16b-3"); (ii) transactions by and
with respect to Section 16 Persons shall comply with any applicable
conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Committee determines otherwise; (iii)
transactions with respect to persons whose remuneration would not be

1-A

<PAGE>

deductible by the Company but for compliance with the provisions of Section
162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall conform to the requirements of Section
162(m)(4)(C) of the Code unless the Committee determines otherwise; (iv)
the Plan is intended to give the Committee the authority to grant awards
that qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section
162(m)(4)(C) as well as awards that do not so qualify; and (v) any
provision of the Plan that would prevent the Committee from exercising the
authority referred to in clause (iv) above or that would prevent an award
that the Committee intends to qualify as performance-based compensation
under Code Section 162(m)(4)(C) from so qualifying shall be administered,
interpreted and construed to carry out the Committee's intention and any
provision that cannot be so administered, interpreted and construed shall
to that extent be disregarded.

4. Participation

Awards may be granted under the Plan to those employees of the
Company as the Committee may from time to time select, including officers
and directors who are employees of the Company. For purposes of the
participation provisions of this section 4, the term "Company" shall
include any entity that is directly or indirectly controlled by the Company
or any entity, including an acquired entity, in which the Company has a
significant equity interest, as determined by the Committee.

5. Available Shares of Common Stock

a) Limitations--Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) of the
Plan, (i) the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued or transferred
to participants under the Plan shall be 3,000,000, (ii) the maximum number of
Shares with respect to which options or stock appreciation rights may be
granted to any employee during the period in which the Plan is in effect is
500,000, (iii) the aggregate number of Shares that may be used in
settlement of awards granted pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Plan shall not
exceed 1,000,000, and (iv) the aggregate number of Shares that may be
covered by awards made in the form of incentive stock options intended to
comply with Section 422 of the Code ("ISOs" or "Incentive Stock Options")
shall not exceed 3,000,000.

b) Usage and Replenishment--Shares subject to an award under the
Plan which is forfeited, expires, or is canceled shall remain available for
the granting of other awards. Any Shares tendered, either actually or by
attestation, by a person as full or partial payment made to the Company in
connection with any exercise of a stock option under the Plan shall
increase the number of Shares available under the Plan. In instances where
an SAR or an award granted pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Plan is settled
in cash, the Shares covered by such award shall remain available for awards
under the Plan. Likewise, cash dividends and dividend equivalents paid in
cash in conjunction with outstanding awards shall not be counted against
the Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Further, subject to
Section 3(c) above, any Shares that are issued by the Company, and any
awards that are granted, as a result of the assumption of, or in
substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired
entity shall not be counted against Shares available for awards under the
Plan.

Any Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of
authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares, and no fractional Shares
shall be issued under the Plan. Cash may be paid in lieu of any fractional
Shares in settlements of awards under the Plan.

c) Adjustments--In the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of equity securities, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, spin-off or other distribution (other than normal cash
dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting
Shares or share price, such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the
Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such change
(including without limitation adjustments to the number and class of shares
subject to the Plan) shall be made with respect to: (a) the Share
limitations set forth in Section 5(a); (b) each outstanding award made
under the Plan; and (c) the exercise price per Share for any outstanding
stock options, SARs or similar awards under the Plan; provided that any
adjustments with respect to Incentive Stock Options shall comply with
sections 422 and 424 of the Code and related Treasury Department
regulations.

6. Fair Market Value

"Fair Market Value" on a particular date means as follows:

(a) If Shares are listed or admitted to trading on such date on the
New York Stock Exchange, the mean between the high and low sales price of a
Share in consolidated trading as reported for such date in the Wall Street
Journal; or

(b) If Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York
Stock Exchange but are listed or admitted to trading on another national
exchange, the mean between the high and low sales price of a Share in
consolidated trading as reported for such date in the Wall Street Journal
with regard to securities listed or admitted to trading on such national
exchange; or

(c) If Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national
exchange, the mean between the high and low sales price of a Share as
reported for such date in the Wall Street Journal with regard to NASDAQ
issues or, if Shares are publicly traded on such date but NASDAQ prices are
not quoted for such date in the Wall Street Journal, the mean between the
closing bid and asked prices of a Share on such date as furnished by a
professional market maker making a market in the Shares; or

(d) If in (a), (b) or (c) above, as applicable, there were no sales
on such date reported as provided above, the respective prices on the most
recent prior day on which a sale was so reported.

In the case of an ISO, if the foregoing method of determining fair
market value should be inconsistent with section 422 of the Code, "Fair Market
Value" shall be determined by the Committee in a manner consistent with such
section of the Code and shall mean the value as so determined.

7. Awards

a) General--The Committee shall determine the type or types of
award(s) to be made to each participant. Awards may be granted singly, in
combination or in tandem. Awards also may be made in combination or in
tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form
for grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan of the
Company. The types of awards that may be granted under the Plan are:

b) Stock Options--A stock option shall represent a right to
purchase a specified number of Shares during a specified period as
determined by the Committee. Options may be granted for such lawful
consideration, including money or other property, tangible or intangible,
or labor or services received or to be received by the Company, as the
Committee may determine when the Option is granted, and the Committee's
judgment as to the consideration and its adequacy shall be conclusive and
binding on all concerned. Property for purposes of the preceding sentence
shall include an obligation of the Company unless prohibited by applicable
law. Subject to the foregoing and the other provisions of the Plan, (i)
each option may be exercisable in full at the time of grant or may become
exercisable in one or more installments and at such time or times, as the
Committee may determine, and (ii) the Committee may at any time, and
subject to such terms and conditions as it may impose, authorize the holder
of an option to exercise the option following the termination of the
participant's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries, or
following the participant's death or disability, whether or not the option
would otherwise be exercisable following such event, until the expiration
of its term (or until an earlier date or specified event occurs). The
Committee may at any time accelerate the date on which an option becomes
exercisable, and no additional consideration need be received by the
Company in exchange for such acceleration. Unless otherwise provided in
the option, an option, to the extent it becomes exercisable, may be
exercised at any time in whole or in part until the expiration or
termination of the option. Each stock option shall expire at such time as
the Committee shall determine at the time of grant, provided, however, that
no option shall be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of its date of
grant and no Incentive Stock Option which is granted to any optionee who,
at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
his employer corporation or of its parent or subsidiary corporation, shall
be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such
Incentive Stock Option is granted. The purchase price per Share for each
stock option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value

3-A

<PAGE>

on the date of grant except that in the case of an optionee who, at the
time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of his
employer corporation or of its parent or subsidiary corporation, the
purchase price per Share under such Incentive Stock Option shall be not
less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of such stock on the date the
Incentive Stock Option is granted. In all cases, the purchase price per
Share under each stock option shall be not less than the par value (if any)
of the optioned Shares. A stock option may be in the form of an Incentive
Stock Option which, in addition to being subject to the applicable terms,
conditions and limitations established by the Committee, complies with
Section 422 of the Code. The Shares covered by a stock option may be
purchased, in accordance with the applicable Award agreement, by cash
payment or such other method permitted by the Committee, including (A)
tendering (either actually or by attestation) Shares valued at the Fair
Market Value at the date of exercise; (B) authorizing a third party to sell
the Shares (or a sufficient portion thereof) acquired upon exercise of a
stock option, and assigning to the Company a sufficient amount of the sale
proceeds to pay for all the Shares acquired through such exercise and any
tax withholding obligations resulting from such exercise; or (C) any
combination of the above. The Committee may grant stock options that
provide for the grant of a subsequent restoration stock option if the
exercise price has been paid for by tendering Shares to the Company. Any
restoration stock option may cover up to the number of Shares tendered in
exercising the predecessor option, with the stock option purchase price set
at the then-current Fair Market Value, and such restoration option would
not extend beyond the remaining term of the original option.

c) SARs--An SAR shall represent a right to receive a payment, in
cash, Shares or a combination, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value
of a specified number of Shares on the date the SAR is exercised over the
Fair Market Value on the date the SAR was granted as set forth in the
applicable award agreement; except that if an SAR is granted retroactively
in tandem with or in a substitution for a stock option, the designated Fair
Market Value in the applicable award agreement may be the Fair Market Value
on the date such stock option was granted.

d) Stock Awards--A stock award shall represent an award made in
Shares or denominated in units equivalent in value to Shares. All or part
of any stock award may be subject to conditions and restrictions
established by the Committee, and set forth in the award agreement, which
may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Company,
and/or the achievement of performance goals. The performance criteria that
may be used by the Committee in granting stock awards contingent on
performance goals shall consist of total shareholders' return, earnings and
revenue growth, profitability as measured by return ratios, and such other
performance criteria as the Committee may in its discretion select. The
Committee may select one criterion or multiple criteria for measuring
performance, and the measurement may be based on absolute Company or
business unit performance or based on comparative performance with other
companies.

8. Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

The Committee may provide that any awards under the Plan earn
dividends or dividend equivalents. Such dividends or dividend equivalents
may be paid currently or may be credited to a participant's account. Any
crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents may be subject to such
restrictions and conditions as the Committee may establish, including
reinvestment in additional Shares or share equivalents.

9. Payments and Payment Deferrals

Payment of awards may be in the form of cash, Shares, other awards or
combinations thereof as the Committee shall determine, and with such
restrictions as it may impose. The Committee also may require or permit
participants to elect to defer the issuance of Shares or the settlement of
awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under
the Plan. It also may provide that deferred settlements include the
payment or crediting of interest on the deferral amounts, or the payment or
crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferral amounts are
denominated in share equivalents.

10. Transferability

Awards granted under the Plan, including any "derivative securities"
issued under the Plan, shall not be

4-A

<PAGE>

transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution (or, if so permitted by the Committee, pursuant to a
beneficiary designation by the participant that is consistent with any
applicable exemption from Section 16 of the 1934 Act for which the Company
intends transactions by Section 16 Persons to qualify (including without
limitation SEC Rule 16b-3) or, in the case of an ISO, with Section 422 of
the Code and any related Treasury Department rulings and regulations), and
shall be exercisable, during the participant's lifetime, only by him.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit a participant to
transfer any award granted under this Plan, other than an Incentive Stock
Option or any other award that is linked to an Incentive Stock Option, to
members of his immediate family (defined as his children, grandchildren and
spouse) or to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members or
partnerships in which such family members are the only partners if (and
only if) the instrument evidencing such award expressly so provides (or is
amended to so provide) and the participant does not receive any
consideration for the transfer; provided that any such transferred award
shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were
applicable to such award immediately prior to its transfer (except that
such transferred award shall not be further transferable by the transferee
during lifetime) and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of
this sentence shall not apply to any award granted to or held by a Section
16 Person unless and until the Company's counsel determines that such
provisions would not jeopardize any exemption from such Section for which
the Company intends transactions by Section 16 Persons to qualify.

11. Change-In-Control

Either in contemplation of or in the event that the Company undergoes
a change in control (as defined by the Committee) or is not the surviving
corporation in a merger or consolidation with another corporation, or in
the event of a liquidation or reorganization of the Company, the Committee
may provide for appropriate adjustments (including the acceleration of
vesting) and settlements of awards either at the time an award is granted
or at a subsequent date.

12. Award Agreements

Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements that set forth
the terms, conditions and limitations for each award, including (if
applicable) the term of the award, the provisions applicable in the event
the participant's employment terminates, and the Company's authority to
unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind any
award. The Committee need not require the execution of any such agreement
by the recipient, in which case acceptance of the award by the respective
participant shall constitute agreement by the participant to the terms of
the award.

13. Plan Amendment

The Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors, without shareholder
approval, at any time and in any respect, unless shareholder approval of
the amendment in question is required under Delaware law, the Code
(including without limitation Code section 422 and Proposed Treasury
Regulation section 1.422A(b)(iv) thereunder), any applicable exemption from
Section 16 of the 1934 Act (including without limitation SEC Rule 16b-3)
for which the Company intends transactions by Section 16 Persons to
qualify, any national securities exchange or system on which the Stock is
then listed or reported, by any regulatory body having jurisdiction with
respect to the Plan, or under any other applicable laws, rules or
regulations. The Plan may also be terminated at any time by the Board of
Directors. No amendment or termination of this Plan shall adversely affect
any award that was granted prior to the date of such amendment or
termination without the written consent of the participant.

14. Tax Withholding

The Company shall have the right to deduct from any settlement of an
award made under the Plan, including the delivery or vesting of Shares, a
sufficient amount to cover withholding of any federal, state or local taxes
required by law or such greater amount of withholding as the Committee
shall determine from time to time, or to take such other action as may be
necessary to satisfy any such withholding obligations. If the Committee
permits or requires Shares to be used to satisfy required tax withholding,
such Shares shall be valued at the Fair Market Value as of the tax
recognition date for such award.

5-A

15. Other Benefit and Compensation Programs

a) Nothing in this Plan is intended to be a substitute for, or
shall preclude or limit the establishment or continuation of, any other
plan, practice or arrangement for the payment of compensation or fringe
benefits to directors, officers, or employees generally, or to any class or
group of such persons, which the Company or any subsidiary now has or may
hereafter lawfully put into effect, including, without limitation, any
incentive compensation, retirement, pension, group insurance, stock
purchase, stock bonus or stock option plan.

b) No employee shall make any elective contribution or employee
contribution to the Plan (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section
1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iv)(B)(4)) during the balance of the calendar year after
the employee's receipt of a hardship distribution from a plan of the
Company or a related party within the provisions of Code Sections
414(b),(c),(m) or (o) containing a cash or deferred arrangement under
section 401(k) of the Code, or during the following calendar year. The
preceding sentence shall not apply if and to the extent that the Company's
counsel determines it is not necessary to qualify any such plan as a cash
or deferred arrangement under section 401(k) of the Code.

16. Unfunded Plan

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan shall be
unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a
separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not establish any fiduciary
relationship between the Company and any participant or other person. To
the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of an award granted under
the Plan, such rights shall constitute general, unsecured liabilities of
the Company and shall not confer upon any participant any right, title or
interest in any assets of the Company.

17. Use of Proceeds

The cash proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of Shares
pursuant to the exercise of stock options or the settlement of other awards
under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

18. Regulatory Approvals

The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any award under the
Plan, and the issuance of Shares upon the exercise or settlement of any
award shall be subject to the Company's procurement of all approvals and
permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the
Plan, the awards granted under it or the Shares issued pursuant to it.

19. Future Rights

No person shall have any claim or rights to be granted an award under
the Plan, and no participant shall have any rights under the Plan to be
retained in the employ of the Company. Likewise, participation in the Plan
will not in any way affect the Company's right to terminate the employment
of the participant at any time with or without cause.

20. Governing Law

The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any actions
taken or relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law.

21. Successors and Assigns

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of a participant,
including, without limitation, the estate of such participant and the executor,
administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in
bankruptcy or representative of the participant's creditors. However, no
award or other interest in the Plan may be assigned, pledged or otherwise
alienated, except to the extent permitted in accordance with Section 10 of
the Plan and the applicable award agreement.
