(e)     Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

On January 1, 2002, the company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets no longer be amortized; amortization expense of $45 (pretax) and $41 (after-tax) was recorded in the first quarter of 2001 for such assets. Segment detail related to this amount (after-tax) is shown below:

(continued)

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the company has completed its initial impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible assets and has determined that no impairment currently exists.

Under the new standard, the company must also measure by the end of 2002 the amount, if any, of goodwill impairment. The company currently expects to complete the necessary tests and finalize the amount of any impairment charges by no later than the end of the third quarter 2002. Based on work to-date, preliminary indications are that a potential impairment exists in two reporting units, Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc., which is in the Agricultural & Nutrition segment, and DuPont Flooring Systems Inc., which is in the Textiles & Interiors segment. The recorded goodwill in these units totaled approximately $2,900 at March 31, 2002. First quarter 2002 results will be restated to include a "Change in Accounting Principle" adjustment for any goodwill impairment charges as required by SFAS No. 142.

The gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization in total and by major class of other intangible assets are as follows:

(f)      Employee Separation Costs and Write-Down of Assets

During the first quarter of 2002, the company recorded a net charge of $9 related to exiting joint ventures in China. Of this net charge, $39 was recorded to withdraw from a polyester joint venture due to depressed market conditions. This charge was partly offset by a $30 gain resulting principally from a favorable litigation settlement associated with the company's exit from a nylon joint venture in 1999.

During the first quarter of 2002, there were no other changes to estimates related to the company's reserves established for restructuring initiatives in prior years. A complete discussion of these restructuring activities is contained in Item 8 of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001 at Note 6 "Employee Separation Costs and Write-Down of Assets." As of March 31,2002, approximately 4,950 employees had been terminated relating to the 2001 restructuring programs with the remaining terminations to be essentially completed by June of 2002, thereby completing this portion of the program. The tables listed below summarize the amounts settled and charged against the related liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2002 for the 2001 and 2000 programs.

(g)     On January 1, 2001, the company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments

and Hedging Activities," as amended. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in a pretax cumulative-effect-type adjustment to income of $19 ($11 after-tax) during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The company's objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments are included within the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, there was no hedge ineffectiveness reported in earnings, no hedge gains or losses excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness or reclassifications to earnings for forecasted transactions that did not occur related to cash flow hedges. The table below summarizes the effect of cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the period:

Includes cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 133.

(h)     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the
numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares (the denominator) for the period. The numerator for both income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and net income is reduced by preferred dividends of $2.5 for both the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. For diluted earnings per share, the denominator is based on the following weighted-average number of common shares and includes the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued:

(continued)

 

The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding generally results from the assumption that dilutive stock options outstanding were exercised. The following average stock options are antidilutive, and therefore, are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation since the exercise price is greater than the average market price:

(j)     Contingencies

The company is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such matters as product liabilities, governmental regulations and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. While the effect on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation due to uncertainty, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims may be significant to the results of operations in the period recognized but management does not anticipate they will have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity.

BenlateÒ

Since 1991 DuPont has been served with several hundred lawsuits alleging property damage, including damage to shrimping operations from various forms of BenlateÒ fungicide. A small number of cases allege personal injuries. Many of these cases include allegations of fraud and misconduct. The majority of these lawsuits were disposed of by trial, settlement or dismissal. However, certain plaintiffs who previously settled with the company have filed cases alleging fraud and other misconduct relating to the litigation and settlement of BenlateÒ claims. There are approximately 110 cases pending. DuPont believes that BenlateÒ did not cause the damages alleged in these cases and denies the allegations of fraud and misconduct. DuPont intends to defend itself in these cases.

Pioneer Intellectual Property Disputes

Pioneer had been involved in several lawsuits, both as plaintiff and defendant, concerning intellectual property rights related to corn and soybean products. On April 2, 2002, the company reached an agreement that included the settlement of all of these outstanding lawsuits, which did not result in a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated operations, financial position or liquidity.

Environmental

The company is also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. The company has accrued for certain environmental remediation activities consistent with the company's policies as set forth in Note 1 to the company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001. At March 31, 2002, such accrual amounted to $384 and, in management's opinion, is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. Under adverse changes in circumstances, potential liability may exceed amounts accrued. In the event that future remediation expenditures are in excess of amounts accrued, they may be significant to results of operations in the period recognized but management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Other

The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with certain affiliated and other companies to provide specified minimum revenues from shipments or purchases of products. At December 31, 2001, the company had directly guaranteed $953 of the obligations of certain affiliated companies and others. This amount has not changed significantly through the end of the first quarter of 2002 and no material loss is anticipated by reason of such agreements and guarantees. In addition, the company has historically guaranteed certain obligations of Conoco Inc., its subsidiary and affiliate, which totaled $960, plus interest, at December 31, 2001. As of March 31, 2002, $693 of the $960 obligation had become nonrecourse, relieving the company of this portion of the guarantee.

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT"S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

        This report contains forward-looking statements which may be identified by their use of words like "plans," "expects," "will," "anticipates," "intends," "projects," "estimates" or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about the company's strategy for growth, product development, market position, expenditures and financial results are forward-looking statements.

        Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events. The company cannot guarantee that these assumptions and expectations are accurate or will be realized. In addition to the factors discussed in this report and in Management's Discussion and Analysis in the company's latest Annual Report, the following are some of the important factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements:

    • The company operates in approximately 75 countries worldwide and derives about half of its revenues from sales inside the United States and about half from sales outside the United States. Therefore, governmental and quasi-governmental activities, including changes in the laws or policies of any country in which the company operates, could affect its business and profitability in that country. Also, the company's business and profitability in a particular country could be affected by political or economic repercussions on a domestic, country specific or global level from terrorist activities and the response to such activities. In addition, economic factors (including a decline in U.S. or European sales from slowing economic growth in those regions, inflation or fluctuations in interest and foreign currency exchange rates) and competitive factors (such as greater price competition or expiration of patent protection) in those countries could affect the company's revenues, expenses and results of operations.
    • The company's ability to grow earnings will be affected by increases in the cost of raw materials, particularly oil, natural gas and products derived from oil and natural gas. The company may not be able to fully offset the effects of higher raw material costs through price increases or productivity improvements.
    • The company's growth objectives are largely dependent on its ability to renew its pipeline of new products and to bring those products to market. This ability may be adversely affected by difficulties or delays in product development such as the inability to: identify viable new products; successfully complete research and development projects; obtain relevant regulatory approvals; obtain adequate intellectual property protection; or gain market acceptance of the new products.
    • As part of its strategy for growth, the company has made and may continue to make acquisitions and divestitures and form strategic alliances. There can be no assurance that these will be completed or beneficial to the company.
    • To a significant degree, results in the company's Agriculture & Nutrition segment reflect changes in agricultural conditions, including weather and government programs. These results also reflect the seasonality of sales of agricultural products; highest sales in the United States occur in the first half of the year. In addition, demand for products produced in this segment may be affected by market acceptance of genetically enhanced products.

Form 10-Q

 

 

    • The company has undertaken and may continue to undertake productivity initiatives, including organizational restructurings and Six Sigma productivity improvement projects, to improve performance and generate cost savings. There can be no assurance that these will be completed or beneficial to the company. Also there can be no assurance that any estimated cost savings from such activities will be realized.
    • The company's facilities are subject to a broad array of environmental laws and regulations. The costs of complying with complex environmental laws and regulations, as well as internal voluntary programs, are significant and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. The company's accruals for such costs and liabilities may not be adequate since the estimates on which the accruals are based depend on a number of factors including the nature of the allegation, the complexity of the site, the nature of the remedy, the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies and other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at multiparty sites, and the number and financial viability of other PRPs.
    • The company's results of operations could be affected by significant litigation adverse to the company including product liability claims, patent infringement claims and antitrust claims.

        The foregoing list of factors is not inclusive, or necessarily in order of importance.

(a)    Results of Operations

(1)    Financial Results:

          First quarter 2002 consolidated sales totaled $6.1 billion compared to $6.9 billion for the same period in 2001. Segment sales, including transfers and a pro rata share of sales by equity affiliates, were $6.8 billion, down 11 percent from $7.6 billion in 2001.

          Segment sales and related variances for the first quarter 2002 compared with the first quarter 2001 are summarized below:

Includes impact of the sale of DuPont Pharmaceuticals and selected polyester businesses and withdrawal from the BenlateÒ fungicide business.

    • Sales volume declined 2 percent in all major regions. Higher volumes in the Agriculture & Nutrition, Coatings & Color Technologies, and Performance Materials segments partly offset lower volumes in the other segments.
    • Local prices were down 4 percent worldwide and 4 to 5 percent in the three major regions. Currency impact reduced sales by an additional 4 percent in regions outside of the United States.

Form 10-Q

 

 

        Net income including one-time items was $479 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared to $495 million in the first quarter of 2001, resulting in earnings per share of $.48 compared to $.47 last year.

        Net income before one-time items was $552 million versus $567 million in 2001, resulting in earnings per share of $.55 compared to $.54 last year. Average outstanding shares decreased 4 percent. Earnings before one-time items reflect higher Agriculture & Nutrition and Pharmaceuticals segment results offset by reduced earnings across the company's other segments. Excluding Agriculture & Nutrition and Pharmaceuticals, results versus prior year principally reflect lower local selling prices, a stronger U.S. dollar and weaker volumes, partly offset by lower raw material costs. Improved Agriculture & Nutrition results reflect in part a benefit from the absence of goodwill amortization as the result of new accounting rules adopted in 2002. One-time items are described in the notes to the accompanying financial statements and are summarized in the table below:

Reflects the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Effective January 1, 2001, the company adopted SFAS No. 133 - "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended.

(2)    Segment Performance:

        The following compares first quarter 2002 with first quarter 2001, for sales and after-tax operating income (ATOI) of each segment, excluding the earnings impact of one-time items described in the table above. Segment results include transfers and a pro rata ownership share of the sales and earnings of equity affiliates.

    • Agriculture & Nutrition - Sales increased 4 percent and ATOI increased 27 percent primarily reflecting higher sales of crop production and food ingredient products worldwide together with lower fixed costs. Eleven percentage points of the 27 percent improvement in ATOI resulted from the required adoption of SFAS No. 142 that eliminated the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles.
    • Coatings & Color Technologies - Sales decreased 6 percent principally reflecting lower prices in OEM coatings and titanium dioxide products. ATOI was down $55 million reflecting lower sales.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16

Form 10-Q

 

 

    • Electronic & Communication Technologies - Sales and ATOI decreased 26 percent and 61 percent, respectively. Most of this segment's major markets remain below last year's levels, particularly the electronics and wire and cable industries that continue to be depressed. Despite lower costs, after-tax margins have been squeezed by lower prices and significantly lower volume.
    • Performance Materials - ATOI declined 11 percent on 5 percent lower sales as lower selling prices more than offset the benefits of lower raw material costs. Sales volumes of nylon resins and packaging polymers were up reflecting stronger demand in both the motor vehicle and packaging markets.
    • Pharmaceuticals - ATOI was $51 million versus a first quarter 2001 loss of $64 million. Last year's first quarter reflects operating losses from DuPont Pharmaceuticals, which was divested October 1, 2001.
    • Safety & Protection - Sales decreased 14 percent and ATOI declined 22 percent. Lower sales principally reflected lower volumes for industrial chemicals. Sales volumes were down moderately for TyvekÒ brand protective materials and solid surface products, with more significant declines in aramid products.
    • Textiles & Interiors - Sales declined 15 percent and ATOI 55 percent, as lower selling prices more than offset lower raw material costs. Significant volume gains in nylon flooring and spandex products were more than offset by lower prices. Other apparel fiber prices and volumes were both down significantly, reflecting continued sector weakness, particularly in the United States.

(3)    Outlook:

        The company expects business conditions in the United States, and possibly in Europe, to continue to improve, bringing sequential volume increases in the second quarter to most of its businesses. The company has not changed its view that a significant period of demand growth is needed to absorb capacity before pricing strengthens in the manufacturing sector.

        Therefore, the company expects sequential volume momentum and year-over-year lower raw materials costs to benefit results. These positives will likely be mitigated by a continued strong dollar and difficult price environment.

        Taking all of these factors into account, the company anticipates second quarter underlying earnings per share to show double-digit improvement versus the prior year and to be about equal to first quarter 2002 underlying earnings per share of $0.55.

(b)     Liquidity & Capital Resources

           From December 31, 2001 to March 31, 2002, the company's consolidated net debt (borrowings and capital lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt securities) increased $2.2 billion from $966 million to $3.2 billion. The table below summarizes the changes in the company's consolidated net debt for this period:

Net Debt - March 31, 2002

$(3,205)


 

           Cash used in the company's operations totaled approximately $1.1 billion for the quarter. This primarily consisted of a $2 billion tax payment attributable to the 2001 gain on sale of DuPont Pharmaceuticals and seasonal working capital builds, which more than offset net income of $479 million for the quarter.

           In addition, $273 million was used in the quarter for purchases of property, plant and equipment and investments in affiliates. Total 2002 purchases of property, plant and equipment and investments in affiliates (excluding any potential acquisitions) are not expected to exceed $1.6 billion.

           Dividends paid to stockholders during the quarter totaled $351 million. The company purchased and retired $470 million of DuPont common stock, completing the DuPont common stock repurchase program that was approved by the Board of Directors in 1998 and increased in July 2000. The company's Board of Directors authorized a new $2 billion share buyback plan in June 2001. Management has not established a timeline for the buyback of stock under this plan.

           As discussed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis in the company's most recent annual report, the company had guaranteed certain financial obligations of Conoco totaling $960 million. As of March 31, 2002, $693 of these obligations had become nonrecourse, relieving the company of this portion of the guarantee.

           In March 2002, the company implemented a commercial paper conduit financing program to reduce the financing costs of the receivables securitization and synthetic lease programs by gaining direct access to the asset-backed commercial paper market. The receivables securitization program and the synthetic lease program are fully described in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001. As of March 31, 2002, there had not been any change in the amount of assets under either of these programs. The conduit issues notes secured by the receivable interests and the equipment and real estate under synthetic leases. In addition, the notes are backed by liquidity support. The company is committed to provide up to $119 million of such support.

 

 

18

Form 10-Q

 

 

           Management believes that the company's ability to generate cash from operations and its capacity to issue short-term and long-term debt will be adequate to meet anticipated future cash requirements to fund working capital, capital spending, dividend payments and other cash needs in the foreseeable future.

(c)     Other Items

Textiles & Interiors to Take Actions to Increase Competitiveness

          On April 29, 2002, the company announced actions to advance its progress in the Textiles & Interiors segment toward becoming a more competitive integrated enterprise. As part of its drive to capitalize on the strength of its newly combined businesses in response to rapidly accelerating industry structural changes, the company plans to reduce more than 2,000 Textiles & Interiors' employees worldwide, or 10 percent of its global work force. More than two-thirds of the reductions are in manufacturing facilities and offices in the United States, with most of the balance in Europe. In the United States, the company plans to shut down its TerathaneÒ PTMEG manufacturing unit at Niagara Falls, NY and less competitive portions of the spandex operation at Waynesboro, VA.

          DuPont expects to achieve annual pretax cost savings of about $120 million as a result of these actions, realizing about 30 percent of these savings in 2002, with the remainder in 2003. The company expects to take a one-time second quarter after-tax charge of $.12-$.16 per share, with about two-thirds due to employee separation costs and the balance for asset shutdowns. Current plans call for more than half of the affected employees to leave the company by July 31, 2002.

          The company announced in February that it planned to create DuPont Textiles & Interiors as a new wholly owned subsidiary and separate it from DuPont by year-end 2003, market conditions permitting. The company is evaluating a range of separation options, including an initial public offering. The Textiles & Interiors segment includes the nylon fibers, polyester fibers, LycraÒ brand fiber and spandex businesses, plus their intermediates and joint ventures. In addition, the company continues to assess actions to optimize its investment in its various Textiles & Interiors businesses.

Pioneer Intellectual Property Disputes

          On April 2, 2002, the company, together with the Monsanto Company, announced that they had reached a business agreement that includes the settlement of all pending lawsuits between them. The agreement gives both companies cross-licenses to enabling technologies that enhance the performance of corn, canola, and soybean crops, and improve the farmer's productivity and efficiency. The agreement includes the following:

  • Pioneer receives a royalty-bearing license to Monsanto's newest Roundup ReadyÒ corn technology.
  • Pioneer receives a new royalty-bearing license to Monsanto's Roundup ReadyÒ soybean technology. Pioneer's existing royalty-bearing license to Roundup ReadyÒ canola technology is renewed.
  • Pioneer receives freedom to operate from Monsanto and its affiliates for its second-generation insect-protected corn products and future corn rootworm-protected corn products through a royalty-bearing license.
  • Pioneer's existing license for use of Monsanto's MON810 YieldGardÒ Corn Borer product is modified to expand geographic coverage and include more favorable terms.

Form 10-Q

 

 

  • Monsanto and DuPont have resolved all issues related to certain previously contested germplasm.
  • Monsanto receives freedom to operate for certain corn transformation technology.
  • Certain terms of DuPont's existing glyphosate supply agreement have been revised.
  • Monsanto and DuPont have entered a plant Breeding Accord affirming the intellectual property and other rights that protect proprietary germplasm.
  • Both Monsanto and DuPont agree to dismiss all pending lawsuits, fully resolving a number of important business and patent disputes between them.

          On October 1, 1999, the company acquired the approximately 80 percent of Pioneer not previously owned for $7,684 million. In accordance with purchase accounting rules, intangible assets were recorded to recognize the value of 1992 and 1993 license agreements between Monsanto and Pioneer which granted Pioneer the right to produce and market MON810 YieldGardÒ corn and Roundup ReadyÒ glyphosate tolerant soybeans. The April 2, 2002 agreement did not result in an impairment in the value of these intangible assets.

Acquisition of Liqui-Box Corporation

          DuPont Canada (a majority-owned subsidiary of the company) and Liqui-Box Corporation of Worthington, Ohio, have signed an agreement for DuPont Canada's wholly owned subsidiary, Enhance Packaging Technologies, Inc., to acquire all of Liqui-Box's outstanding common shares in a cash transaction at $67 per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $333 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter, subject to approvals from regulatory authorities and Liqui-Box shareholders.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          In 1991, DuPont began receiving claims by growers that use of BenlateÒ 50 DF fungicide had caused crop damage. DuPont has since been served with several hundred lawsuits most of which were disposed of by trial, dismissal or settlement. Approximately 110 cases are pending. Some of these lawsuits were filed by growers who allege plant damage from using BenlateÒ 50 DF, and, in some cases, BenlateÒ WP. Some include claims for alleged damage to shrimping operations from BenlateÒ OD, and a small number of cases include claims for alleged personal injuries. Also, many of these cases include allegations of fraud and misconduct, as well as violations of Federal and State racketeering laws. In August 2001, a Florida jury found DuPont liable under Florida's racketeering statute and for product defects involving alleged crop damage. In March 2002, pursuant to DuPont's motion, the judge withdrew the jury's finding of liability under the racketeering statute and entered judgment for the plaintiffs in the approximate amount of $29 million. DuPont will appeal.

          In addition, a securities fraud class action was filed in September 1995 by a shareholder in federal district court in Florida against the company and the then-Chairman. This action is still pending. The plaintiff in this case alleges that DuPont made false and misleading statements and omissions about BenlateÒ 50 DF, with the alleged effect of inflating the price of DuPont's stock between June 19, 1993, and January 27, 1995. The district court has certified the case as a class action. Discovery is proceeding.

 

 

 

20

Form 10-Q

 

 

          Certain plaintiffs who previously settled with the company have filed cases alleging fraud and other misconduct relating to the litigation and settlement of BenlateÒ 50 DF claims. Approximately 47 such cases were filed. Recently, the Florida Federal Court dismissed the lead case of 25 cases pending before it. Plaintiffs have appealed. The remaining cases are in various stages of development in trial and appellate courts in Florida and Hawaii.

          A shareholder derivative action was filed in August of 2001 in Florida. The suit alleges the Board of Directors breached various duties in connection with BenlateÒ litigation and asserts claims under the Federal and State racketeering laws. This case has been dismissed by the plaintiff.

          Twenty-eight cases are pending against the company in State Court in Broward County, Florida. These cases were brought by Ecuadorian shrimp farmers alleging that BenlateÒ OD applied to banana plantations in Ecuador ran-off and was deposited in plaintiffs' shrimp farms, causing massive numbers of shrimp to die. Two cases were tried in the fall of 2000 and in early 2001, which resulted in adverse judgments of approximately $14 million and $16 million, respectively. The company has appealed both cases. DuPont contends that the deaths of the shrimp are attributable to a virus, Taura Syndrome Virus, and in no way involve BenlateÒ OD. The untried cases are on hold awaiting resolution by the appellate court of the case tried in 2000.

          DuPont believes that BenlateÒ did not cause the damages alleged in these cases and denies the allegations of fraud and misconduct. DuPont continues to defend itself in ongoing matters. The ultimate liabilities from the BenlateÒ lawsuits discussed above may be significant to the results of operations of the company in the period recognized, but management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity.

          The company's consolidated balance sheet reflects accruals for estimated costs associated with this matter. Adverse changes in estimates for such liabilities could result in additional future charges.

COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
(As last amended, January 23, 2002)

 

1.     PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

            The purpose of the DuPont Stock Accumulation and Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (the "Plan") is (1) to further the identity of interests of members of the Board of Directors of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (the "Company") with those of the Company's stockholders generally through the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, and (2) to permit Directors to defer the payment of all or a specified part of their compensation, including any grant of stock by the Company, for services performed as Directors.

2.     ELIGIBILITY

            Members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and who do not receive a form of compensation for Board service in lieu of customary Directors' fees shall be eligible to receive option grants under the Plan. Members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be eligible under this Plan to defer compensation for services performed as Directors.

3.     ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT

            The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The decision of the Committee with respect to any questions arising as to the interpretation of this Plan, including the severability of any and all of the provisions thereof, shall be final, conclusive and binding. The Board of Directors of the Company reserves the right to modify the Plan from time to time, or to repeal the Plan entirely, provided, however, that (1) no modification of the Plan shall operate to annul an election already in effect for the current calendar year or any preceding calendar year; and (2) to the extent required under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), Plan provisions relating to the amount, price and timing of stock option grants shall not be amended more than once every six months, except that the foregoing shall not preclude any amendment necessary to conform to changes in applicable law, including, but not limited to, changes in the Internal Revenue Code.

All transactions under this Plan shall be executed in accordance with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

            The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, modify the terms and conditions of this Plan in response to and consistent with any changes in applicable law, rule or regulation.

5.     OPTION GRANTS

a.     Annual Grant: Subject to action by the Board of Directors, and effective upon such date as the

Board of Directors may determine, each Director eligible under Article 2 hereof shall be awarded an annual grant of nonqualified options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, with each such grant having a Black-Scholes value of $85,000. A director elected to the Board at a time after an annual stock option grant is made shall, without further action by the Board of Directors, receive a grant of nonqualified options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, with any such grant having a Black-Scholes value of $85,000, following his/her first attendance at a Board Meeting. Any such grant shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the annual grant, and shall be effective on the first business day of the month following the month in which the Director attends his/her first Board Meeting. Under no circumstances shall a Director receive more than one option grant in any calendar year under this Plan.

b.     Option Price: The price per share of common stock which may be purchased upon exercise of

a stock option granted hereunder shall be determined by the Board of Directors, but shall in no event be less than the fair market value of such share on the date the stock option is granted, and in no event less than the par value thereof. For purposes of this Plan, fair market value shall be the average of the high and low prices of the stock as reported on the "NYSE-Composite Transactions Tape" on the date of grant of a stock option, or if no sales of such stock were reported on said Tape on such date, the average of the high and low prices of such stock on the next preceding day on which sales were reported on said Tape. Such price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 5(g) hereof.

c.     Option Term: The term of each stock option granted under this Plan shall be for such period

as the Board of Directors shall determine, but not for more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

d.     Exercise of Options/Delivery of Shares: (i) Subject to the provisions of this Plan, each stock

option granted hereunder shall be exercisable on such date or dates and during such period and for such number of shares as the Board of Directors may determine. However, in no event shall a stock option be exercisable prior to six months from the date of grant. The Committee may fix from time to time a minimum number of shares that must be purchased at the time a stock option is exercised.

Payment of the purchase price shall be made in cash, stock (valued at fair market value on the date of exercise), or a combination thereof, as the Committee may determine from time to time. With respect to stock to be delivered upon exercise of a stock option, such stock shall be delivered only from stock held in the company's treasury, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors.

e.     Tax Withholding: Grantees may use shares of stock to satisfy withholding taxes relating to

the grants under this Plan to the extent provided in terms and conditions established by the Committee.

f.     Terminations of Options: (i) The Board of Directors shall, subject to the provisions of the Plan,

determine the rules relating to the rights of a grantee in the event a grantee ceases to be a Director of the Company or in the event of his or her death.

(ii) A grantee shall forfeit all rights under stock options granted hereunder if the Board of Directors, after a hearing at which the grantee shall be entitled to be present, shall find that the grantee has willfully engaged in any activity harmful to the interest of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates provided, however, that such stock options may continue in effect to such extent and under such circumstances as the Board of Directors may determine.

g.     Adjustment: (i) In the event of any stock dividend, split-up, reclassification or other analogous

change in capitalization, the Committee shall make such adjustments, in light of the change, as it deems to be equitable, both to the grantee and to the Company, in the number of shares and prices per share applicable to outstanding options. Furthermore, in the event of a distribution to common stockholders other than interim or year-end dividends declared as such by the Board of Directors, the Committee shall make such adjustments, in light of the distribution, as it deems to be equitable, both to the grantee and to the Company, in respect to the item described herein.

(ii) any fractional shares resulting from adjustments made pursuant to this subparagraph shall be eliminated.

6.     ELECTION TO DEFER

            On or before December 31 of any year, a Director may elect to defer, until a specified year or retirement as a Director of the Company, the payment of all or a specified part of all fees payable to the Director for services as a Director during the calendar year following the election and succeeding calendar years in the form of cash or stock units. Any person who shall become a Director during any calendar year, and who was not a Director of the Company on the preceding December 31, may elect, within thirty days after election to the Board, to defer in the same manner the receipt of the payment of all or a specified part of fees not yet earned for the remainder of that calendar year and for succeeding calendar years in the form of cash or stock units. Elections shall be made by written notice delivered to the Secretary of the Committee.

Form 10-Q

Exhibit 10.13

 

 

7.     DIRECTORS' ACCOUNTS

            Fees deferred in the form of cash shall be held in the general funds of the Company and shall be credited to an account in the name of the Director. On the first day of each quarter, interest shall be credited to each account calculated on the basis of the cash balance in each account on the first day of each month of the preceding quarter at the Prime Rate of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York (or at such other rate as may be specified by the Committee from time to time) in effect on the first day of each month. Fees to be deferred in the form of stock units shall be allocated to each Director's account based on the closing price of the Company's common stock as reported on the Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange ("Stock Price") on the date the fees would otherwise have been paid. The Company shall not be required to reserve or otherwise set aside shares of common stock for the payment of its obligations hereunder, but shall make available as and when required a sufficient number of shares of common stock to meet the needs of the Plan. An amount equal to any cash dividends (or the fair market value of dividends paid in property other than dividends payable in common stock of the Company) payable on the number of shares represented by the number of stock units in each Director's account will be allocated to each Director's account in the form of stock units based upon the Stock Price on the dividend payment date. Any stock dividends payable on such number of shares will be allocated in the form of stock units. If adjustments are made to outstanding shares of common stock as a result of split-ups, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations and the like, an appropriate adjustment shall also be made in the number of stock units in a Director's account. Stock units shall not entitle any person to rights of a stockholder unless and until shares of Company common stock have been issued to that person with respect to stock units as provided in Article 8.

8.     PAYMENT FROM DIRECTORS' ACCOUNTS

            The aggregate amount of deferred fees, together with interest and dividend equivalents accrued thereon, shall be paid in the year specified or after a Director ceases to be a Director of the Company. Amounts deferred to a specified year shall only be paid in a lump sum and shall be paid promptly at the beginning of that specified year. Amounts deferred to retirement shall be paid in a lump sum, or, if the Director elects prior to retirement, either (1) in a lump sum in a specified year after retirement; (2) in substantially equal annual installments over a period of years specified by the Director; or (3) in a lump sum upon the Director's death. The delivery election must be made by written notice delivered to the Secretary of the Committee prior to the date of retirement, and the first installment (or lump sum payment upon retirement or in a specified year thereafter) shall be paid promptly at the beginning of the following calendar year. Subsequent installments shall be paid promptly at the beginning of each succeeding calendar year until the entire amount credited to the Director's account shall have been paid. Amounts credited to a Director's account in cash shall be paid in cash and amounts credited in stock units shall be paid in one share of common stock of the Company for each stock unit, except that a cash payment will be made with any final installment for any fraction of a stock unit remaining in the Director's account. Such fractional share shall be valued at the closing Stock Price on the date of settlement.

9.     PAYMENT IN EVENT OF DEATH

            A Director may file with the Secretary of the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary for his or her account under the Plan on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee, and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If a Director should die before all deferred amounts credited to the Director's account have been distributed, the balance of any deferred fees and interest and dividend equivalents then in the Director's account shall be paid promptly to the Director's designated beneficiary. If the Director did not designate a beneficiary, or in the event that the beneficiary designated by the Director shall have predeceased the Director, the balance in the Director's account shall be paid promptly to the Director's estate.

Form 10-Q

Exhibit 10.13

 

 

10.     TERMINATION OF ELECTION

            A Director may terminate his/her election to defer payment of fees in cash or stock units by written notice delivered to the Secretary of the Committee. Termination shall become effective as of the end of the calendar year in which notice of termination is given with respect to fees payable for services as a Director during subsequent calendar years. Amounts credited to the account of a Director prior to the effective date of termination shall not be affected thereby and shall be paid only in accordance with Articles 7 and 8.

11.     ONE-TIME ELECTION TO CONVERT CASH BALANCES TO STOCK UNITS

            The Committee may in its discretion establish terms and conditions under which a Director may make a one-time election to convert into stock units all or a portion of the fees and dividend equivalents the Director has deferred in cash.

12.     NONASSIGNABILITY

            During a Director's lifetime, the right to any stock option, or the right to any deferred fees, including interest and dividend equivalents thereon, shall not be transferable or assignable, and stock options may be exercised only by the grantee, except as may otherwise be provided in rules established by the Committee.
