maximize shareholder value supported by an approved BDP
(Business Development Plan) strategy. By accelerating by one
year the time of the awarded stock options' exercise dates for
240,000 common shares consisting of 120,000 July 1, 1999 and
120,000 July 1, 2000, and the 100,000 common stock restricted
as to their ability to be sold by providing for the
restrictions to lapse at the close of business on June 30, 1999
for 50,000 shares and June 30, 2000 or 50,000 shares
respectively.
MEASURE: The measurement will be in consideration of the actual earnings
per share achieved of $1.45/sh. Dec. 31, 1998 on the basic
common shares outstanding of 17,644,000 for 1998 and/or 1999
combined:
------------------------------------------
Years E.P.S. % Increase

-------------------------------------------------------------
Actual 1996 $ .66 N.M.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Actual 1997 $1.16 77%
-------------------------------------------------------------
Original B.D.P. 1998 $1.25 15%
-------------------------------------------------------------
Base Incentive 1998 $1.45 25%
-------------------------------------------------------------
Base Incentive 1999 $1.95 35%
-------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------
In the event that $1.45 is not attained in 1998 but the total

then the acceleration will be effected accordingly for both the
remaining unexercisable stock options and the restricted stock
to July 1, 2000.
