resume Personal Salary Deferral Contributions under the Plan must

equal to (a) the difference between the Participant's
Compensation and the applicable annual compensation limit under
Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, times (b) the maximum percentage

the Participant executes and delivers the appropriate form
promulgated by the Company not later than the Election Date which
immediately precedes the Plan Year.  An election under this

     7.1.  Election of Hypothetical Investments.  Prior to
           ------------------------------------
becoming a Participant, each Participant must (and at such times
as the Company may thereafter allow, each Participant may) select
the combination of Investment Funds in which he or she wishes
hypothetically to invest, subject to the following limitations:

            (a)  The portion of each Participant's Account which
is attributable to Company Contributions, including earnings
thereon, shall be hypothetically invested at all times in the
Company Stock Fund.

            (b)  At least 50% of the portion of each
Participant's Account which is attributable to Personal Salary
Deferral Contributions, including earnings thereon, shall be

one complete Plan Year after the Plan Year of contribution.

            (c)  Notwithstanding (b) above, no part of the value
of a Reporting Person's Account which is attributable to Personal
Salary Deferral Contributions shall be hypothetically invested in
the Company Stock Fund at any time.

            (d)  A Participant's elections respecting
hypothetical investment of future deferrals and hypothetical
investment of the Participant's existing Account shall be made
separately and independently in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Regular 401(k) Plan. 

            (e)  If a Participant dies before distribution of
the Participant's entire Account is complete, the Participant's
Beneficiary shall have the right to make the elections reserved
to the Participant in the foregoing subsections of this Section
7.1 from the date the Employee Stock Plans Department of the
Company receives written notice of the Participant's death
through the date of final distribution; provided:  (i) if a
deceased Participant has two or more Beneficiaries, the
Beneficiaries shall have the right to make such elections with
respect to the portions of the Participant's Account to which
they are respectively entitled; and (ii) if the Beneficiary is a
minor or otherwise legally incompetent, a parent or legal
guardian of the Beneficiary, as the case may be, shall exercise
such right on behalf of the Beneficiary.

at such times and in such manner as it in its sole discretion
determines to be appropriate, credit or debit each Participant's
Account, as the case may be, with the appropriate amount of
income, gain or loss, as if such Account had been invested in the

forfeitable at all times.

           ---------------------
Account which is attributable to Company Contributions, together
with all earnings thereon, shall vest and become non-forfeitable
when the portion of such Participant's Regular 401(k) Plan
account which is attributable to Company Matching Contributions
and Supplemental Contributions vests and becomes non-forfeitable.

                            PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
                            -------------------
     9.1.  Election.   
           --------

            (a)  At the time an Eligible Employee makes the
initial election to participate in the Plan which is described in
Section 4.1, he or she shall also irrevocably elect whether
amounts deferred under the Plan during the initial Plan Year and
subsequent Plan Years shall be made in a single sum, or five (5)
installments, and whether payment shall begin as of the first day
of the calendar month following termination of the Participant's
employment with all Employing Companies or as of the January 1
following the termination, all subject to acceleration as
provided for in Sections 9.6, 9.7 and 9.8.

            (b)  A Participant may change any prior election
made pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or any election pursuant to this
Section 9.1(b), effective as to the value of the Participant's
Account which is attributable to contributions made on and after
the first day of any succeeding Plan Year.  Notice of any such
change shall be filed by the Election Date for such Plan Year on
a form prescribed by the Company.

     9.2.  Commencement of Payments.  Subject to the remaining
           ------------------------
provisions of this Article IX, payments under the Plan shall
begin as of the first day of the calendar month following the
Participant's termination of employment with all Employing

                              7
<PAGE>
<PAGE>12

Companies or as of the January 1 following the termination, as
elected by the Participant.

     9.3.  Timing of Payments.
           ------------------

            (a)  If a Participant has elected payment of any
portion of the Participant's Account in a single sum pursuant to
Section 9.1, such single sum amount shall be due and payable as
of the first day of the calendar month following termination of
the Participant's employment with all Employing Companies or as
of the January 1 following the termination, as elected by the
Participant.

            (b)  If a Participant has elected payment of any
portion of the Participant's Account in installments pursuant to
Section 9.1, the initial installment shall be due and payable as
of the first day of the calendar month following the
Participant's termination of employment with all Employing
Companies or as of the January 1 following the termination, as
elected by the Participant, and the remaining four (4)
installments shall be due and payable as of January 1 of the next
four (4) Plan Years. 

            (c)  Notwithstanding Section 9.3(b), if the
Participant's employment with all Employing Companies terminates
before age fifty-five (55) for any reason other than the
Participant's death or disability, the Company may determine that
payment of the Participant's entire Account balance shall be paid
in a single sum, notwithstanding any election by the Participant
to the contrary.

     9.4.  Set Off and Withholding.  
           -----------------------

            (a)  Any amount then due and payable by the Company
to any Participant and/or Beneficiary under this Plan may be
offset by any amount owed to any Employing Company by the
Participant and/or Beneficiary for any reason and in any capacity
whatsoever, as the Company may determine in its sole and absolute
discretion.  

            (b)  There shall be deducted from any amount payable
under this Plan all taxes required to be withheld by any federal,
state or local government.  Participants and their Beneficiaries
shall bear any and all federal, state, local and other income
taxes and other taxes imposed on amounts paid under the Plan,
whether or not withholding is required or carried out in
accordance with this provision. 
     
     9.5.  Determination of Payment Amounts.
           --------------------------------

            (a)  If payment to a Participant or Beneficiary
occurs in a single sum, the amount of such single sum shall be
equal to the Participant's vested Account balance as of the
Plan's valuation date immediately preceding the payment date.

                              8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>13

            (b)  If payment to a Participant or Beneficiary
occurs in annual installments, the amount of each installment
shall be equal to the Participant's vested Account balance as of
the Plan's valuation date immediately preceding the payment date,
divided by the number of installments then remaining to be paid. 
For example, to determine the amount of the first installment,
divide the Participant's vested Account balance by five (5); to
determine the amount of the second installment, divide the
Participant's vested Account balance by four (4), and so on.

     9.6.  Unforeseeable Emergency.  
           -----------------------

            (a)  Notwithstanding Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3
above, the Company may determine that payment of any portion of
the amount then due a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan
shall be accelerated on application of the Participant or
Beneficiary on account of and subject to reasonable proof of
unforeseeable emergency.  

            (b)  For purposes of this Section 9.6, an
unforeseeable emergency is a severe financial hardship to the
Participant or Beneficiary resulting from a sudden and unexpected
illness or accident of the Participant or Beneficiary or of a
dependent (as defined in section 152(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code) of the Participant or Beneficiary, loss of the
Participant's or Beneficiary's property due to casualty, or other
similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as
a result of events beyond the control of the Participant or
Beneficiary.  The circumstances that will constitute an
unforeseeable emergency will depend upon the facts of each case,
but, in any case, payment may not be made to the extent that such
hardship is or may be relieved--
     
               (i) Through reimbursement or compensation by
insurance or otherwise,

               (ii) By liquidation of the Participant's or
Beneficiary's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such
assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or

               (iii) By cessation of Personal Salary Deferral
Contributions under the Plan if and when possible under the
remaining provisions of the Plan, or by cessation of elective
deferrals if and when possible under any other deferred
compensation plan for which the Participant or Beneficiary is
eligible.

Examples of what are not considered to be unforeseeable
emergencies include the need to send a Participant's or
Beneficiary's  child to college or the desire to purchase a home. 

            (c)  Withdrawal of amounts because of an
unforeseeable emergency shall be permitted only to the extent

                              9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>14

reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency.  If the Company
determines that an unforeseeable emergency requires and can be
satisfied by cessation of deferrals under this Plan and any other
deferred compensation plan without withdrawal under this Plan,
the Company shall direct cessation of such deferrals under this
Plan and any other such plan if and to the extent permitted under
the provisions thereof, and shall not direct acceleration of
payment under this Section 9.6.

            (d)  All determinations under this Section 9.6 shall
be made by an Administrative Committee appointed pursuant to
Section 11.1(c).

     9.7.  Change in Control.
           -----------------

            (a)  If a Change in Control (as defined in Section
9.7(b)) shall occur, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the entire amount accrued on behalf of a Participant
under the Plan as of the Change in Control Date shall be paid in
a single sum within 30 days after the Change in Control Date.
            
            (b)  For purposes of this Plan, a "Change in
Control" shall occur if: 

               (i)  Any Person (as defined herein) becomes the
beneficial owner directly or indirectly (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended
("Act")) of more than 50% of the Company's then outstanding
voting securities (measured on the basis of voting power);

               (ii) The shareholders of the Company approve a
definitive agreement to merge or consolidate the Company with any
other corporation, other than an agreement providing for (x) a
merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity),
in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
the Company, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the
voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or
(y) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which
no Person acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of
the Company's then outstanding securities;

               (iii)  A change occurs in the composition of the
Board of Directors of the Company during any period of twenty-
four consecutive months such that individuals who at the
beginning of such period were members of the Board of Directors
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof,
unless the election, or the nomination for election by the

                              10
<PAGE>
<PAGE>15

Company's shareholders, of each new director was approved by a
vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office
who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose
election or nomination for election was previously so approved;
or

               (iv) The shareholders of the Company approve a
plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for
the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially
all the Company's assets.  

A Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred on the date
as of which any of the events described in clauses (i) through
(iv) occur (such date being referred to as "Change in Control
Date").  For purposes of this paragraph, "Person" shall have the
meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Act, as modified and used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof;  however, a Person shall not
include (aa) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (bb) a
trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (cc) an
underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an
offering of such securities, or (dd) a corporation owned,
directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Company
stock.

            (c)  Following a Change in Control, the provisions
of this Section 9.7 cannot, after the Change in Control Date, be amended
in any manner without the written consent of each individual who
was a Participant immediately prior to a Change in Control.

            (d)  Following a Change in Control, this Plan may
continue in effect, notwithstanding that payment of benefits
shall have been made under Section 9.7(a).   

            (e)  If, by reason of this Section 9.7, an excise or
other special tax ("Excise Tax") is imposed on any payment under
the Plan (a "Required Payment"), the amount of each Required
Payment shall be increased by an amount which, after payment of
income taxes, payroll taxes and Excise Tax on such additional
amount, will equal such Excise Tax on the Required Payment.

     9.8.  General Right to Accelerate Payment.
           -----------------------------------           

            Notwithstanding Sections 9.2 and 9.3, the Company by
its proper officers in its sole discretion may direct current
payment of all amounts then credited to all Participants'
Accounts under the Plan.

     9.9.  Payments After Death.
           --------------------


            (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section
9.9, any amount payable under this Plan as a result of or

                              11
<PAGE>
<PAGE>16

following the death of a Participant shall be applied only for
the benefit of the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated by the
Participant pursuant to this Section 9.9 or any other person
deemed to be a Beneficiary under any other provision of this Plan
or by law.  Each Participant shall specifically designate, by
name, on forms provided by the Company, the Beneficiary(ies) to
whom any such amounts shall be paid.  A Participant may change or
revoke a Beneficiary designation without the consent of the
Beneficiary(ies) at the time by filing a new Beneficiary
designation form with the Company.  The filing of a new form
shall automatically revoke any forms previously filed with the
Company.  A Beneficiary designation form not properly filed with
the Company prior to the death of the Participant shall have no
validity under the Plan.  

            (b)  Any such designation shall be contingent on the
designated Beneficiary surviving the Participant.  If the
designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before
receiving the entire amount payable to the designated Beneficiary
hereunder, the amount which would otherwise have been so paid
shall be paid to the estate of the deceased Beneficiary unless a
contrary direction was made by the Participant, in which case
such direction shall control.  More than one Beneficiary, and
alternative or contingent Beneficiaries may be designated, in
which case the Participant shall specify the shares, terms and
conditions upon which amounts shall be paid to such multiple or
alternative or contingent Beneficiaries, all of which must be
satisfactory to the Company.

            (c)  If no Beneficiary designation is on file with
the Company at the time of the Participant's death, the
beneficiary(ies) for purposes of the Regular 401(k) Plan shall be
deemed to be the Beneficiary designated to receive any amounts
then remaining payable under this Plan.

            (d)  If no Beneficiary designated by the Participant
under this Plan or the Regular 401(k) Plan survives the
Participant, the Participant's estate shall be deemed to be the
Beneficiary designated to receive any amounts then remaining
payable under this Plan.

            (e)  In determining any question concerning a
Participant's Beneficiary, the latest designation filed with the
Company shall control and intervening changes in circumstances
shall be ignored.  For example, if a Participant's spouse is
designated as Beneficiary but thereafter is divorced from the
Participant, such designation shall remain valid until and unless
the Participant files a later Beneficiary designation form with
the Company.

            (f)  Any check issued on or before the date of a
Participant's death shall remain payable to the Participant
whether or not the check is received by the Participant prior to

                              12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>17

death.  Any check issued after the date of the Participant's
death shall be the property of the Participant's Beneficiaries
determined in accordance with this Section 9.9.

            (g)  A Participant's election of payment in
installments shall not be altered by reason of the Participant's
death.

     9.10.  All Payments to be Made by the Company.  All payments
            --------------------------------------
due any Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan shall be the
sole responsibility of the Company.

     9.11.  Special Rule for Non-deductible Amounts.  Any amount
            ---------------------------------------
otherwise payable under the Plan in a Plan Year for which the
Company determines that the amount would not be deductible by any
Participating Employer under section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code shall not be paid until such Plan Year as the
Company determines that the amount has ceased to be non-
deductible by any Participating Employer under section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code.  In the case of any inconsistency
between this Section 9.11 and any other provision of the Plan,
this Section 9.11 shall govern, except in the case of Section
9.7.

              PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS OTHER THAN THE COMPANY
              ----------------------------------------------

     10.1.  Adoption.  A Participating Employer other than the
            --------
Company shall adopt this Plan by written instrument executed by
its proper officers, subject to the written approval of the
Company by its proper officers or their delegates.  Adoption of
the Plan by a Participating Employer shall constitute automatic
delegation of all rights and duties it might otherwise reserve to
itself under the Plan to the Company, including full authority to
amend or terminate the Plan.  

     10.2.  Withdrawal.  A Participating Employer shall
            ----------
automatically withdraw from the Plan if and when it ceases to be
a Participating Employer under the Regular 401(k) Plan, without
the execution of any other instrument.  A Participating Employer
may voluntarily withdraw from the Plan on not less than thirty
(30) days' written notice from its proper officers.

     10.3.  Succession.  In the event of dissolution, merger,
            ----------
consolidation, or spin-off involving a Participating Employer,
the entity surviving the transaction shall succeed to the rights
and duties of the affected Participating Employer without the
execution of any other instrument.

the administration of the Plan.

            (b)  The Company shall administer the Plan in
accordance with its terms and shall have all powers necessary to
carry out the provisions of the Plan.  The Company shall
interpret the Plan; shall determine all questions arising in the
administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan; and
shall construe any ambiguity, supply any omission, and reconcile
any inconsistency in such manner and to such extent as the
Company deems proper.  Any interpretation or construction placed
upon any term or provision of the Plan by the Company, any
decisions and determinations of the Company arising under the
Plan, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 
(i) the eligibility of any individual to become or remain a
Participant, a Participant's status as such and the amount of a
Participant's Compensation for any Plan Year, (ii) the time,
method and amounts of payments payable under the Plan; (iii) the
rights of Participants; and (iv) any other action or
determination or decision whatsoever taken or made by the Company
in good faith, shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all
persons concerned, including, but not limited to, the Company,
all Participating Employers and all Participants and
Beneficiaries.

            (c)  The Chief Financial Officer of the Company
shall appoint one or more Employees to carry out the Company's
duties hereunder.

            (d)  The Company may employ accountants, counsel,
specialists, and other persons necessary to help carry out its
duties and responsibilities under the Plan.  The Company or any
appointee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any
opinions or reports which shall be furnished to it or him by such
accountants, counsel, specialists, and other persons.

            (e)  No Employee shall participate in determining

            -----------------

            (a)  The Company shall make all decisions and
determinations respecting the right of any person to a payment
under the Plan.


            (b)  The following procedure shall be followed with
respect to claims under the Plan:

                              14
<PAGE>
<PAGE>19
               (i)  Any claimant who believes he or she is
entitled to a payment under this Plan shall submit a claim for
such payment in writing to the Company.

               (ii) Any decision by the Company denying a claim
in whole or in part shall be stated in writing by the Company and
delivered or mailed to the claimant within ninety (90) days after
receipt of the claim by the Company unless special circumstances
require an extension of time for processing, but in any event
within one hundred eighty (180) days after such receipt.  If such
an extension of time is taken, the Company shall inform the
claimant of the delay in writing before the expiration of the
initial ninety (90) day period, including the reasons therefor
and the date by which the Company expects to render a decision. 
Any decision denying a claim shall set forth the specific reasons
for the denial with specific references to Plan provisions on
which the denial is based, a description of any additional
material or information necessary to perfect the claim and the
reasons therefor, and an explanation of the Plan's claim review
procedure as provided for in Section 11.2(b)(iii), all written in
a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant.  If the
Company does not notify the claimant of denial of the claim or
the need for an extension of time within the initial ninety (90)
day period, the claim shall be deemed denied.  

               (iii)  If a claim is denied in whole or in part,
the claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may
request a review by the Company of the decision upon written
application to the Company within sixty (60) days after
notification of the decision.  The claimant or his or her duly
authorized representative may review pertinent documents and
submit issues and comments in writing.  The Company shall make
its decision on review not later than sixty (60) days after
receipt of the request for review unless special circumstances
require an extension of time for processing, in which case its
decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later
than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request
for review.  If such an extension of time is taken, the Company
shall inform the claimant of the delay in writing before the
expiration of the initial sixty (60) day period.  The decision on
review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for
the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by
the claimant and specific references to the pertinent plan
provisions on which the decision is based.  If the Company does
not notify the claimant of its decision on review within the
period herein provided for, the claim shall be deemed denied on

                         -------------------------

            The Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall
have authority to amend or terminate the Plan on behalf of the
Company in his or her sole discretion at any time, except as
follows:

            (a)  Any amendments that affect the Contribution

                               MISCELLANEOUS
                               -------------

     13.1.  Company's Obligations Unsecured.  It is the intention
            -------------------------------
of the Company and all Participants that the Plan shall be
unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Amounts payable
to Participants under this Plan shall be paid solely from the
general assets of the Company as they come due from time to time. 
No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any property interest
whatsoever in any asset of the Company on account of
participation in this Plan.  Participants' rights under this Plan
shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general
creditor of the Company.  Nothing in this Plan shall require the
Company to invest any amount in any asset or type of asset.

     13.2.  No Alienation.  Except as required by law, amounts
            -------------
payable under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind,
either voluntary or involuntary; any attempt to anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or
otherwise dispose of any right to payment hereunder shall be
void, and the Company shall not in any manner be liable for, or
subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or
torts of any Participant or other person.  

                              17

     13.3.  No Waiver of Rights.  Except as provided for in
            -------------------
Section 11.2, no failure or delay by the Company or any
Participant to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege.

     13.4.  Severability.  The invalidity of any particular
            ------------
clause, provision or covenant herein shall not invalidate all or
any part of the remainder of this Plan, but such remainder shall
be and remain valid in all respects as fully as the law will
permit.

     13.5.  Legal Expenses.  In any proceeding to enforce rights
            --------------
and obligations hereunder, the unsuccessful party shall pay the
successful party an amount equal to all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable legal expenses and court costs)
incurred by the successful party.

     13.6.  Presumption of Competence.  Every person receiving or 
            -------------------------
claiming amounts payable under this Plan shall be conclusively
presumed to be mentally competent and of legal age unless and
until the Company receives proof satisfactory to the Company that
the person is incompetent or is a minor or that a guardian or
other person legally vested with the care of the person's estate
has been appointed.

     13.7.  Facility of Payment.  If any amount is payable
            -------------------
hereunder to a minor or other person under legal disability or
otherwise incapable of managing his or her own affairs, as
determined by the Company in its sole discretion, payment thereof
shall be made in one (or any combination) of the following ways,
as the Company shall determine in its sole discretion:

            (a)  directly to said minor or other person;

            (b)  to a custodian for said minor or other person
(whether designated by the Company or any other person) under the
Missouri Transfers to Minors Law, the Missouri Personal Custodian
Law or a similar law of any jurisdiction;

            (c)  to the conservator of the estate of said minor
or other person; or

            (d)  to some relative or friend of such minor or
other person for the support, welfare or education of such minor
or other person.

The Company shall not be required to see to the application of
any payment so made, and payment to the person determined by the
Company shall fully discharge the Company from any further

                              18

<PAGE>23

accountability or responsibility with respect to the amount so
paid.

     13.8.  No Guarantee of Employment or Compensation.  No
            ------------------------------------------
provision of this Plan shall restrict any Employing Company from
discharging a Participant from employment or restrict any
Participant from resigning from employment with any Participating
Employer.  No provision of this Plan shall restrict any Employing
Company from increasing or decreasing the compensation of any
Employee.

     13.9.  Plan Provisions Binding.  The provisions of the Plan
            -----------------------
shall be binding upon the Company, all Participating Employers
and all persons entitled to benefits under the Plan and their
respective successors, heirs and legal representatives.

     13.10.  Rules of Interpretation.  Words of gender shall
             -----------------------
include persons and entities of any gender, the plural shall
include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. 
Captions are intended to assist in reference and shall not be
interpreted as part of the Plan.

     13.11.  Missouri Law Controls.  Subject to the applicable
             ---------------------
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
which provide to the contrary, this Plan shall be administered,
construed, and enforced according to the laws of the State of
Missouri and in Courts situated in that State.

     13.12.  Reporting Persons.    It is intended that the
             -----------------
interests of Reporting Persons in the Plan qualify for exclusion
from the definition of "derivative securities" contained in Rule
16a-1(c) of the Securities and Exchange Commission;  the Plan
shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent. 
Moreover, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company may amend
the Plan, retroactively if deemed prudent, as such Officer deems
appropriate to ensure the continuation of such qualification. 

     13.13.  Counterparts.  This Plan may be executed in two or
             ------------
more counterparts, any one of which shall constitute an original
without reference to the others.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this
Plan this 23rd day of November, 1993, effective as of the 1st day
of January, 1994.
