Securities</I></FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Plan provides a select group of management or
highly compensated employees with benefits that are otherwise
limited under the Corporation&#146;s Savings and Stock
Investment Plan (or other defined contribution plans as
determined by the Corporation) (the &#147;SSIP&#148;) due to
applicable limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the
&#147;Code&#148;).
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under the Plan, a participant may defer the same
percentage of compensation as the participant is permitted under
the SSIP, without giving effect to certain SSIP and Code
limitations, and offset by actual contributions to the SSIP.
Further, such supplemental deferrals are eligible for
Corporation matching contributions as provided for under the
SSIP, also without regard to those certain SSIP and Code
limitations.

<P align="center"><FONT size="2">1

<P><HR noshade><P>
<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always">&nbsp;</H5><P>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">A Plan account is created on the
Corporation&#146;s books for a participant&#146;s compensation
deferrals and the Corporation matching contributions. Generally,
no amount will be credited to a participant&#146;s Plan account
for any period in which a participant does not make the maximum
salary deferral that is eligible for a Corporation matching
contribution. The foregoing sentence does not apply to so called
&#147;catch up&#148; contributions under the SSIP nor where
matched participant deferrals may be otherwise limited by SSIP
or Code limitations.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Plan offers a rate of return based on the
same investment options as the SSIP. Generally, a
participant&#146;s Plan account will be adjusted to reflect
investment gains and losses in the same proportion as investment
gains and losses experienced in the SSIP.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Participants may not receive distributions or
borrow from their accounts, nor are they able to make
withdrawals from their accounts, while employed by the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. Following a separation
from service with the Corporation (and its subsidiaries), the
entire vested balance of a participant&#146;s account, valued as
of the applicable accounting date under the Plan, will be paid
in cash. A participant may, however, by a written statement
filed with the Corporation on or before one year prior to such
separation from service, elect to defer such distribution and/or
receive annual installments. Any portion of a Plan account
remaining unpaid at a participant&#146;s death will be paid to
the participant&#146;s beneficiary as determined under the SSIP.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Plan is unfunded and benefits payable under
it (referred to herein as the &#147;Supplemental
Obligations&#148;) are paid from the general assets of the
Corporation. The Supplemental Obligations are unsecured general
obligations of the Corporation to make payments in the future in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and rank ratably and
without preference with other unsecured general obligations of
the Corporation. As Supplemental Obligations, a
participant&#146;s compensation deferrals and associated
matching contributions are deemed to be general funds of the
Corporation and may therefore be subject to a lien or security
interest of secured creditors. While not obligated to do so, the
Corporation may segregate assets to be used to pay the
Supplemental Obligations, provided that no participant will have
an identifiable interest in such assets and that such assets
remain subject to the claims of general creditors of the
Corporation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">No benefit under the Plan will be subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the
same will be void, and no such benefit will in any manner be
liable for or subject to the debts, liabilities, engagements or
torts of the person entitled to such benefit, except as
specifically provided in the Plan.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Plan is administered by the Corporation. The
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may
modify, amend or terminate the Plan, subject to certain
limitations.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In the event of a &#147;change-in-control&#148;
(as defined in the Corporation&#146;s Second Amended and
Restated 1997 Incentive Compensation Plan), all unvested
portions of an active employee&#146;s Plan account will become
fully vested.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Upon termination of the Plan, no additional
employees shall become entitled to benefits under the Plan, all
benefits accrued through the date of termination will become
immediately nonforfeitable as to each participant, no additional
benefits (other than the allocation of &#147;income&#148; or
&#147;earnings&#148; on a participant&#146;s contributions if
provided by the Corporation) will be accrued under the Plan for
subsequent payment and all benefits accrued to date shall be
distributed to the participants as soon as practicable.

<FONT size="2">Section&nbsp;145 (&#147;Section&nbsp;145&#148;)
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as may
be amended from time to time (the &#147;General Corporation
Law&#148;), provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify
any of its directors or officers who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any third party proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the corporation, against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reason to believe that such person&#146;s
conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, (i.e., one by or
in the right of a corporation) the corporation is permitted to
indemnify directors and officers against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them
in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or
suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner that they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to
the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that the defendant directors or officers are fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite
such adjudication of liability.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees,
incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit
or proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt by it of an undertaking of such person
to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that
such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Section&nbsp;145 further authorizes a corporation
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by him or her in any such
capacity, arising out of his or her status as such, whether or
not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify
him or her under Section&nbsp;145.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Corporation&#146;s Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that it will indemnify its current and
former directors and officers from and against all liabilities
and reasonable expenses that they incur in connection with or
resulting from any claims, actions, suits or proceedings to the
extent that indemnification is not inconsistent with Delaware
law. The Corporation also provides directors&#146; and
officers&#146; liability insurance coverage for the acts and
omissions of its directors and officers. In order to be entitled
to indemnification under the provisions of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, a director or officer of the
Corporation must be wholly successful with respect to the claim,
action, suit or proceeding or have acted in good faith in what
he or she reasonably believed to be the best interests of the
Corporation, or with respect to a criminal action or proceeding,
must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful. Prior to the final disposition of a claim,
action, suit or proceeding, the Corporation will advance
expenses incurred by a current or former director or officer if
the director or officer provides the Corporation with an
undertaking to repay the amount advanced if he or she is not
entitled to indemnification after the final disposition.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Corporation&#146;s Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that the Corporation&#146;s directors
will not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of
their fiduciary duties as directors except (a)&nbsp;for any
breach of the duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
stockholders, (b)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (c)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the General
Corporation Law, which makes directors liable for unlawful
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or
(d)&nbsp;for transactions from which directors derive improper
personal benefit. While this provision provides directors with
protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of
their duty of care, it does not eliminate that duty.

<FONT size="2">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Item

Description Of
Securities
The Plan provides a select group of management or
highly compensated employees with benefits that are otherwise
limited under the Corporation's Savings and Stock
Investment Plan (or other defined contribution plans as
determined by the Corporation) (the "SSIP") due to
applicable limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the
"Code").
Under the Plan, a participant may defer the same
percentage of compensation as the participant is permitted under
the SSIP, without giving effect to certain SSIP and Code
limitations, and offset by actual contributions to the SSIP.
Further, such supplemental deferrals are eligible for
Corporation matching contributions as provided for under the
SSIP, also without regard to those certain SSIP and Code
limitations.
1
A Plan account is created on the
Corporation's books for a participant's compensation
deferrals and the Corporation matching contributions. Generally,
no amount will be credited to a participant's Plan account
for any period in which a participant does not make the maximum
salary deferral that is eligible for a Corporation matching
contribution. The foregoing sentence does not apply to so called
"catch up" contributions under the SSIP nor where
matched participant deferrals may be otherwise limited by SSIP
or Code limitations.
The Plan offers a rate of return based on the
same investment options as the SSIP. Generally, a
participant's Plan account will be adjusted to reflect
investment gains and losses in the same proportion as investment
gains and losses experienced in the SSIP.
Participants may not receive distributions or
borrow from their accounts, nor are they able to make
withdrawals from their accounts, while employed by the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. Following a separation
from service with the Corporation (and its subsidiaries), the
entire vested balance of a participant's account, valued as
of the applicable accounting date under the Plan, will be paid
in cash. A participant may, however, by a written statement
filed with the Corporation on or before one year prior to such
separation from service, elect to defer such distribution and/or
receive annual installments. Any portion of a Plan account
remaining unpaid at a participant's death will be paid to
the participant's beneficiary as determined under the SSIP.
The Plan is unfunded and benefits payable under
it (referred to herein as the "Supplemental
Obligations") are paid from the general assets of the
Corporation. The Supplemental Obligations are unsecured general
obligations of the Corporation to make payments in the future in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and rank ratably and
without preference with other unsecured general obligations of
the Corporation. As Supplemental Obligations, a
participant's compensation deferrals and associated
matching contributions are deemed to be general funds of the
Corporation and may therefore be subject to a lien or security
interest of secured creditors. While not obligated to do so, the
Corporation may segregate assets to be used to pay the
Supplemental Obligations, provided that no participant will have
an identifiable interest in such assets and that such assets
remain subject to the claims of general creditors of the
Corporation.
No benefit under the Plan will be subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the
same will be void, and no such benefit will in any manner be
liable for or subject to the debts, liabilities, engagements or
torts of the person entitled to such benefit, except as
specifically provided in the Plan.
The Plan is administered by the Corporation. The
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may
modify, amend or terminate the Plan, subject to certain
limitations.
In the event of a "change-in-control"
(as defined in the Corporation's Second Amended and
Restated 1997 Incentive Compensation Plan), all unvested
portions of an active employee's Plan account will become
fully vested.
Upon termination of the Plan, no additional
employees shall become entitled to benefits under the Plan, all
benefits accrued through the date of termination will become
immediately nonforfeitable as to each participant, no additional
benefits (other than the allocation of "income" or
"earnings" on a participant's contributions if
provided by the Corporation) will be accrued under the Plan for
subsequent payment and all benefits accrued to date shall be
distributed to the participants as soon as practicable.

Indemnification Of Directors
And Officers
Section 145 ("Section 145")
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as may
be amended from time to time (the "General Corporation
Law"), provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify
any of its directors or officers who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any third party proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the corporation, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reason to believe that such person's
conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, (i.e., one by or
in the right of a corporation) the corporation is permitted to
indemnify directors and officers against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them
in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or
suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner that they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to
the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that the defendant directors or officers are fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite
such adjudication of liability.
Expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit
or proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt by it of an undertaking of such person
to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that
such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
Section 145 further authorizes a corporation
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by him or her in any such
capacity, arising out of his or her status as such, whether or
not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify
him or her under Section 145.
The Corporation's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that it will indemnify its current and
former directors and officers from and against all liabilities
and reasonable expenses that they incur in connection with or
resulting from any claims, actions, suits or proceedings to the
extent that indemnification is not inconsistent with Delaware
law. The Corporation also provides directors' and
officers' liability insurance coverage for the acts and
omissions of its directors and officers. In order to be entitled
to indemnification under the provisions of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, a director or officer of the
Corporation must be wholly successful with respect to the claim,
action, suit or proceeding or have acted in good faith in what
he or she reasonably believed to be the best interests of the
Corporation, or with respect to a criminal action or proceeding,
must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful. Prior to the final disposition of a claim,
action, suit or proceeding, the Corporation will advance
expenses incurred by a current or former director or officer if
the director or officer provides the Corporation with an
undertaking to repay the amount advanced if he or she is not
entitled to indemnification after the final disposition.
The Corporation's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that the Corporation's directors
will not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of
their fiduciary duties as directors except (a) for any
breach of the duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (c) under Section 174 of the General
Corporation Law, which makes directors liable for unlawful
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or
(d) for transactions from which directors derive improper
personal benefit. While this provision provides directors with
protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of
their duty of care, it does not eliminate that duty.

Undertakings
A.     Subsequent
Disclosure
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which
    offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
    this Registration Statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by
    Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts
    or events arising after the effective date of this Registration
    Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
    which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
    change in the information set forth in this Registration
    Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
    decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
    value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
    registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
    estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
    prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
    Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
    price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
    maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
    "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
    effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information
    with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
    disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change
    to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set
    forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
    information required to be included in a post-effective
    amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
    filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant,
    pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
    Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
    Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
    liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
    amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
    relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
    such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
4
(3) To remove from registration by means of
    a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
    registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
    offering.
B.     Incorporation
By Reference
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
C.     Commission
Position On Indemnification
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
