                    II.  PLAN OBJECTIVES
                         ---------------

The plan is intended to provide the  officers  and other key  colleagues  of the
Company and of its subsidiaries, affiliates and certain joint venture companies,
upon whose  judgment,  initiative and efforts the Company depends for its growth
and for the profitable  conduct of its business,  with  additional  incentive to
promote the success of the Company.



                    III. ELIGIBILITY
                         -----------

A participant is selected by the CEO and  recommended for  participation  to the
CC, which has sole  discretion  for  determining  eligibility,  from among those
colleagues in key management  positions deemed able to make the most significant
contributions to the growth and profitability of the Company.  The President and
CEO of the Company is a participant.



                    IV.  PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND MEASUREMENT
                         -----------------------------------

The CEO  recommends  and the CC  adopts,  in its  sole  discretion,  performance
targets and performance levels for each participant, not later than 90 days from
the commencement of the plan period. No performance  target or performance level
may be modified after 90 days from the commencement of the plan period.

A.   Performance  targets,  comprising one or more financial  goals, are defined
     for each business unit. Each financial goal is assigned a weight, such that
     the sum of the weights of all  financial  goals for a business  unit equals
     100%.

B.   Each participant is assigned  performance  targets for one or more business
     units, based on the participant's position,  responsibilities,  and his/her
     ability  to affect the  results of the  assigned  business  unit.  For each
     participant,  each business unit is assigned a weight, such that the sum of
     the  weights  of  all  business  units  for  a  participant   equals  100%.
     Collectively,   all  business  unit  performance   targets  constitute  the
     participant's plan period objectives.

C.   Each financial goal is assigned  performance levels (threshold,  target and
     outstanding).



                    V.   PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
                         ----------------------

A.   Financial Results
     -----------------
     1.   At the end of the plan period, the financial results for each business
          unit are compared  with that unit's  financial  goals to determine the
          payout for each participant.
     2.   In determining the attainment of financial goals, the impact of any of
          the  events (a)  through  (i)  listed in  Section  7(b)(ii)(B)  of the
          shareholder  plan,  if dilutive  (causes a reduction in the  financial
          result) will be excluded from the  financial  results for any affected
          business unit.
     3.   Award Determination
          a.   Achievement  of threshold  performance  of at least one financial
               goal of a performance  target is necessary  for a participant  to
               receive a payout for that performance target.


          b.   The   unweighted   payout  factor  for  each  financial  goal  is
               determined  as follows:
                    1.   For performance  below the threshold  level, the payout
                         factor is zero.
                    2.   For  performance  at the  threshold  level,  the payout
                         factor is 25%.
                    3.   For  performance   between  the  threshold  and  target
                         levels,  the  payout  factor is  between  25% and 100%,
                         determined on a pro-rata basis.
                    4.   For performance at the target level,  the payout factor
                         is 100%.
                    5.   For  performance  between  the target  and  outstanding
                         levels,  the payout  factor is  between  100% and 200%,
                         determined on a pro-rata basis.
                    6.   For performance at or above the outstanding  level, the
                         payout factor is 200%.

          c.   A participant's  plan-end adjusted restricted  performance shares
               award is determined as follows:
                    1.   Each   financial   goal's   unweighted   payout  factor
                         determined  above times the weighting of that financial
                         goal  equals  the  weighted   payout  factor  for  that
                         financial goal
                    2.   The sum of the weighted  payout  factors for a business
                         unit's  performance target equals the payout factor for
                         that performance target.
                    3.   The     participant's target incentive
                                             times
                                    the business unit weight
                                             times
                               the performance target payout factor
                                             equals
                           the participant's payout for that business unit

                    4.   The  sum of the  payouts  for all  the  business  units
                         assigned  to a  participant  equals  the  participant's
                         total plan-end adjusted  restricted  performance shares
                         award.
          d.   The CC may, in its sole discretion, reduce a participant's payout
               to any level it deems appropriate.



                    VI.  RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE SHARES AWARD PROVISIONS
                         ----------------------------------------------

A.   Restricted  performance shares,  equal to a participant's target incentive,
     shall be determined at the beginning of the plan period. In addition to the
     terms and  conditions  set forth in the  shareholder  plan,  the restricted
     period for the plan-end adjusted restricted  performance shares award shall
     be as follows:  subject to continued  employment  except as  otherwise  set
     forth in the shareholder plan, the lapse of restrictions on one-half of the
     restricted  performance  shares awarded will occur on the first anniversary
     of the plan period end date (April 30, 2011) at which time the  participant
     will receive a stock certificate in a number of shares equal to one-half of
     the  restricted  performance  shares  awarded with the  restrictive  legend
     deleted,  and the lapse of restrictions on the remaining half will occur on
     the second  anniversary  of the plan  period end date  (April 30,  2012) at
     which time the participant will receive a new stock certificate in a number
     of shares equal to the remaining half with the restrictive legend deleted.

B.   The plan-end adjusted restricted  performances share award will be compared
     to the restricted  performance shares targeted at the beginning of the plan
     period, and the appropriate amount of restricted performance shares will be
     awarded or  forfeited,  as required,  to bring the  restricted  performance
     shares award to the number of shares  designated  as the plan-end  adjusted
     restricted performance shares award.


                    VII. STOCK OPTIONS
                         -------------

The participant  may be granted a stock option pursuant to the shareholder  plan

          market  value on the next  fiscal  year end, if approved by the CC, in
          its sole discretion.  Any plan-end  adjusted  restricted  performances
          share award that would have been earned by the participant in the year
          of  retirement  may be paid out in cash based on the fair market value
          on the next  fiscal  year  end,  if  approved  by the CC,  in its sole
          discretion.

     E.   In the event of  constructive  discharge or without cause  termination
          following  a  Change  of  Control,  as  that  term is  defined  in the
          shareholder plan, all "target"  restricted  performance shares vest to
          the  participant,  or at the CC's option,  payment will be made of the
          value of the "target" restricted  performance shares based on the fair
          market value on the effective date of the Change of Control.

     F.   A  participant  who is hired or  promoted  into an  eligible  position
          during  the plan  period  may  receive a  prorated  plan-end  adjusted
