[FN] Unaudited ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 Great Western Financial Corporation reported improved net earnings of $57.2 million, or $.38 per share, in the 1994 third quarter compared with earnings of $55.9 million, or $.38 per share, in the 1994 second quarter and a net loss of $17.5 million, or $.18 per share, in the 1993 third quarter. Provisions for loan and real estate losses during the 1994 third quarter were $51.2 million compared with $232 million in the same period of 1993. Third quarter 1993 provisions for losses included $150 million established for four bulk sales of $675 million of troubled real estate assets. The decrease in loan and real estate loss provisions also reflects a slower rate of deterioration in the real estate market. For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, net earnings were $163 million, or $1.08 per share, compared with $80.3 million, or $.47 per share, for the same period a year ago. Provisions for loan and real estate losses during the first nine months of 1994 and 1993 were $165 million and $406 million, respectively. HIGHLIGHTS (Dollars in thousands, except per share)

The Company's core business remained viable in the third quarter of 1994, but was adversely affected by the rising interest rate environment and its effect on the net interest margin. Net interest income for the third quarter 1994 declined to $331 million compared with $338 million in the second quarter of 1994. Net interest income was $344 million in the third quarter of 1993. While interest earning asset levels increased, the net interest margin and net interest income decreased compared with both the 1994 second quarter and the third quarter of last year. The net interest margin is expected to continue to decline if interest rates continue to increase. The following summarizes the contribution to pretax income from the Company's principal business units:

BRANCH ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS During the third quarter of 1994, Great Western Bank, a Federal Savings Bank ("GWB") announced a definitive agreement for the sale of approximately $1 billion of deposits and 31 branches located in west Florida to First Union National Bank. The sale is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1994. During the second quarter of 1994, GWB signed an agreement to purchase the deposits of six branches located in San Diego County from Citibank, FSA, totaling $52 million, for a premium of $1 million. The purchase was completed in October 1994. The deposits were consolidated into existing GWB branches. INTEREST EARNING ASSETS Interest earning assets comprise real estate loans and mortgage-backed securities ("mortgages"), consumer finance loans and marketable securities. The composition of interest earning assets at September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993 follows:

Interest earning assets, primarily single-family mortgages, increased during the 1994 third quarter compared with the 1993 third quarter. To complement loan originations, the Company has purchased mortgage-backed securities as part of a program designed to enhance earning assets growth with low credit risk assets tied to the cost of funds index for financial institutions comprising the 11th District Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("COFI"). Purchases of mortgage-backed securities were $460 million in the third quarter of 1994, compared with $84.1 million in the same period last year. During the nine months ended September 30, 1994, purchases of mortgage-backed securities were $1 billion compared with $316 million in the same period a year ago. The 1994 purchases of adjustable rate securities had an average spread of 175 basis points over COFI. During the third quarter of 1994, GWB swapped $2.3 billion of single-family residential Adjustable Rate Mortgage ("ARM") loans for mortgage-backed securities to provide collateral for borrowings. These securities are recorded in GWB's held-to-maturity portfolio and are subject to full credit recourse. Periodically the Company repurchases, for investment, loans which were previously sold. The Company also repurchases delinquent loans which were sold with recourse. Repurchased real estate loans totaled $499 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1994, including $62 million of delinquent loans sold with recourse and a June repurchase of $437 million of ARMs for investment. Repurchases of delinquent loans were $157 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1993. Commercial real estate loans continued to decrease as a result of the Company's decision in 1987 to discontinue commercial real estate lending except to finance the sale of foreclosed properties. The ARM for single-family residential properties ("SFRs") is the primary lending product held for investment. Approximately 74% of loans in the portfolio are indexed to COFI. The Company also originates an ARM product which is indexed to the Federal Cost of Funds Index ("FCOFI"). This index is a combination of the average interest rate on the combined marketable treasury bills and the average interest rate on the combined marketable treasury notes. The FCOFI ARM is similar to the COFI ARM product as to interest-rate caps and payment changes. At September 30, 1994, ARMs comprised 94.5% of the mortgage portfolio. A significant portion of the ARM portfolio is subject to lifetime interest-rate caps and floors. At September 30, 1994, $7.2 billion of ARM loans with an average yield of 7.03% had reached their floor rate. Without the floor, the average yield on these loans would have been 6.43%. The benefit to interest income from real estate loans which have reached their floor interest rate was approximately $13.6 million for the third quarter of 1994 compared with $12.4 million in the third quarter of 1993. The composition of new loan volume was as follows:

The portfolio of fixed- rate loans designated as available for sale has been recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company sells loans forward into the secondary market and purchases short-term hedge contracts for the commitment period to protect against rate fluctuations on its commitments to fund fixed-rate loans originated for sale. Hedge contracts are recorded at cost. At September 30, 1994, there were no open hedge contracts. During the third quarter 1994, ARMs comprised 95% of total real estate loan originations compared with 60% in the same period of 1993 and 90% for the second quarter of 1994. COFI ARMs were the primary adjustable rate offering in 1994 and 1993. The primary ARM product in the second and third quarters of 1994 was a tiered cap loan where the interest-rate cap is periodically increased over six years. The ARM differential over the appropriate indices on new ARMs was 2.59% in the third quarter 1994 compared with 2.49% a year ago. The ARM differential on the total ARM real estate loan portfolio was 2.44% at September 30, 1994 and 2.39% at September 30, 1993. Currently, interest rates on new real estate loans favor adjustable rate products, which has enabled the Company to generate asset growth in 1994. The cost of funds for GWB, relative to COFI and FCOFI, is shown as follows:

Borrowings totaled $7.3 billion at September 30, 1994, $3.5 billion at December 31, 1993 and $6.3 billion at September 30, 1993. As a percentage of interest bearing liabilities, borrowings totaled 20% at September 30, 1994 and 18% at September 30, 1993. The level of borrowings is influenced by customer account activity, deposit acquisitions and changes in assets. In the fourth quarter of 1993, GWB acquired $4.1 billion in deposits of HomeFed Bank, F.A. ("HomeFed") from the Resolution Trust Corporation. The following table shows the components of the change in customer account balances:

The Company concentrates its retail deposit-gathering activity in two states: California and Florida. Net certificate of deposit account withdrawals have occurred during each of the past eleven quarters. During much of this period, retaining certificates of deposit as a source of funds has not been essential as ARM originations were not at levels where asset growth could occur and deposit acquisitions provided an alternate funding source. Transaction accounts declined in the third quarter of 1994 as transfers from money market accounts to certificates of deposit with terms of one year and greater occurred due to higher rates offered. In the second and third quarters of 1994, borrowings were utilized to fund asset growth. A summary of customer certificates of deposit by interest rate and maturity as of September 30, 1994 follows:

NET INTEREST MARGIN AND NET INTEREST INCOME While average interest earning assets have increased during the past year, the interest margin has decreased as interest rates have begun to rise. Net interest income decreased slightly to $331 million in the third quarter 1994 compared with $338 million in the second quarter of 1994. Net interest income was $344 million in the third quarter 1993. The Company's net interest margin, the difference between the yield on interest earning assets (interest on mortgages, consumer loans and securities) and the cost of funds (interest on customer accounts and borrowings) was 3.47% at September 30, 1994 compared with 3.94% a year ago. The average net interest margin for the 1994 third quarter was 3.47% compared with 3.71% in the 1994 second quarter and 3.76% in the 1993 third quarter. The average net interest margin for the first nine months of 1994 was 3.61% compared with 3.81% in the same 1993 period. The repricing lag on COFI and FCOFI ARMs reduced the average net interest margin by approximately 12 basis points in the third quarter of 1994 compared to a decrease of approximately 6 basis points in the second quarter of 1994. For the third quarter 1993, the repricing lag accounted for an increase of approximately 8 basis points to the average net interest margin. The average net interest margin is compressed in a rising interest rate environment as increases in COFI and FCOFI, to which most interest earning assets are tied, lag behind deposit and borrowing rate increases. The following table of net interest income displays the average monthly balances, interest income and expense and average rates by asset and liability component for the periods indicated:

The average balance of loans receivable above includes nonaccrual loans and therefore the interest income and average rate, as presented, are affected by the loss of interest on such loans. Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans that were nonperforming totaled $10.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 compared with $17.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1993. For the first nine months of 1994 and 1993, nonaccrual interest was $38.8 million and $64.8 million, respectively. ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company monitors its asset and liability structure and interest- rate/maturity risks on a regular basis. In this process, consideration is given to interest-rate trends and funding requirements. ARMs comprised approximately 96% of the real estate loan portfolio at September 30, 1994 and 95% at September 30, 1993. At September 30, 1994, mortgages totaling $2.7 billion were available for sale, primarily mortgage-backed securities. Real estate loans available for sale are valued at the lower of cost or fair value, generally on an individual loan basis. As of September 30, 1994 and 1993, real estate loans available for sale, all fixed rate, were $73.9 million and $301 million, respectively. The decrease in loans available for sale compared with the same period a year ago resulted from reduced fixed-rate loan originations. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994, gains from this portfolio totaled $429,000 and $6.2 million, respectively. Unrealized holding gains on real estate loans available for sale totaled $2.3 million at September 30, 1994. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale and other securities available for sale are carried at fair value. At September 30, 1994, mortgage-backed securities available for sale included $376 million of fixed- rate loans and $2.2 billion of ARMs. There were no realized gains or losses in the first nine months of 1994. Unrealized holding losses were $50.6 million at September 30, 1994. Unrealized holding gains were $31 million at December 31, 1993 and $55.7 million at September 30, 1993. Marketable securities available for sale at September 30, 1994 had an amortized cost of $792 million and a fair value of $785 million. Gains realized during the 1994 third quarter totaled $22,000 and for the first nine months of 1994 totaled $511,000. Unrealized holding losses in marketable securities were $7 million at September 30, 1994. Unrealized holding gains were $7.2 million at December 31, 1993 and $2.3 million at September 30, 1993. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" as of December 31, 1993. The unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of income taxes, included as a component of stockholders' equity, were as follows:

The following table shows that the portfolio of short-term assets exceeded liabilities maturing or subject to interest adjustment within one year by $4.2 billion at September 30, 1994 compared with $3.1 billion at December 31, 1993 and $4.0 billion at September 30, 1993. In the current interest rate environment, the Company is better protected against rising rates with an excess of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within one year.

ASSET QUALITY The Company regularly reviews its assets to determine that each category is reasonably valued. In this review process it monitors the loss exposure relating to nonperforming assets, assets adversely classified for regulatory purposes, the delinquency trend and market environment to identify potential problems. Loss reserves have been provided, where necessary in management's judgment, for interest earning assets, including residential loans and consumer loans. Valuation reserves for consumer loans are provided based upon a percentage of the loans outstanding in relation to the loss experience within the loan categories. Loans delinquent over thirty days, together with restructured loans, have been included in the process to determine estimated losses. The effects of various loan characteristics such as geographic concentrations, loan purpose, negative amortization and loan to value ratios ("LTV") are considered in this review process. Although the California real estate markets did not improve significantly in 1993 or the first nine months of 1994, the economic climate has shown some signs of recovery. Median prices of single-family residential properties are higher than year-end 1993 in some areas of the state. Unit sales of single-family homes increased 4.8% in August 1994 from the August 1993 level. Furthermore, the unemployment rate in California has shown an irregular decline from 8.7% in December 1993 to 8.3% in September 1994. The Company assesses the status of general loss reserves on real estate loans based upon its current loss experience as applied to the loan portfolio including loans that are delinquent or adversely classified because of declining collateral values. The Company's general loan loss reserves remain relatively high to give effect to current trends in the economic environment in valuing its loan portfolio. There appear to be regional differences in economic performance within California and among property types which are attributable to differing recovery rates of the wide range of economic activities within California. The economic factors affecting the office space market appear to be somewhat more favorable in Northern California than in Southern California. In particular, the vacancy rate in the San Francisco area was 10% at June 30, 1994 and 12% at June 30, 1993. In the Los Angeles area, the vacancy rate was 20% at both June 30, 1994 and June 30, 1993. The vacancy rate in San Diego County was 19% at June 30, 1994 compared with 22% at June 30, 1993. In the industrial space market, Northern and Southern California vacancy rates appear to be more comparable. In the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas, vacancy rates were 10% and 9%, respectively, at June 30, 1994. At June 30, 1993, the vacancy rates were 12% in both the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. San Diego County's industrial space market had the lowest vacancy rate consisting of 4% at June 30, 1994 and 3% at June 30, 1993. In the single-family market, regional differences also exist in the economic performance of Northern, Central and Southern California. For example, the median metropolitan area sales price of existing single-family homes in the Los Angeles area decreased from the second quarter of 1993 to the second quarter of 1994 by 4%. During the same period, the median sales price remained stable in the San Jose and San Diego areas. As a monitoring device the Company reviews the trends of loans delinquent for periods of less than ninety days on a monthly (and within- month) basis. The following summarizes loans delinquent for periods from thirty to eighty-nine days:
September 30 June 30 December 31 September 30 (Dollars in millions) 1994 1994 1993 1993 ------------ ------- ----------- ------------ 30-59 days delinquent SFR loans $205.0 $240.0 $190.9 $236.8 Other 13.8 15.3 19.0 12.0 60-89 days delinquent SFR loans 95.3 122.6 105.2 98.9 Other 17.1 18.9 8.8 14.3
The January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake increased loan delinquencies and is expected to result in losses in the real estate loan portfolio in the range of $20 million to $25 million. The expected losses are lower than initially projected and will be covered by existing loan loss reserves. The Company had originally identified approximately 2,800 loans, primarily SFR's, in earthquake affected areas with outstanding principal balances of $368 million. A ninety day forbearance was offered to customers who suffered damages during the earthquake. Subsequent to this initial program, arrangements for repayment or for additional forbearance are being provided on a case by case basis. These programs are intended to reduce the possibility of foreclosure and therefore mitigate losses and costs of holding property. Delinquencies on SFRs in the earthquake affected areas were as follows:
September 30 June 30 (Dollars in millions) 1994 1994 ------------ ------- 30-59 days delinquent $20.2 $ 19.4 60-89 days delinquent 11.2 39.5 90 days or more delinquent 52.2 68.3 ----- ------ $83.6 $127.2 ===== ======
The decrease in these delinquencies is primarily the result of loans that were brought current or paid off The following table shows the trend in single-family residential delinquencies (two or more payments delinquent) to the growth in the related portfolio.
September 30 June 30 December 31 September 30 1994 1994 1993 1993 ------------ ------- ----------- ------------ SFR loans as a percent of total real estate loans 89.6% 89.0% 88.3% 87.8% SFR delinquency as a percent of total single-family residential loans 3.0 3.7 3.2 3.5
The Company's real estate loan portfolio included approximately $3.1 billion of uninsured single-family mortgage loans at September 30, 1994, compared with $3.7 billion a year ago, which were originated with terms where the LTV exceeded 80% (but not in excess of 90%). During the third quarter 1994, losses on the higher LTV mortgages totaled $6.1 million, or .65% (annualized), compared with $14.2 million, or 1.06% (annualized) for the same period a year ago. For the year 1993, losses totaled $44.8 million, or .81% of such loans, compared with $10.1 million, or .15%, for 1992. The Company began to purchase mortgage insurance on all new single-family residential mortgages originated with LTVs in excess of 80% in 1990. Therefore, this portfolio of uninsured loans is becoming more seasoned and the balance is declining. The recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and the reserve for estimated losses related to such loans follows:

The impaired loan portfolio decreased at September 30, 1994 compared with September 30, 1993. The decrease was primarily the result of the bulk sale of $213 million of apartment and commercial real estate loans in the fourth quarter of 1993. The Company's policy for recognizing income on impaired loans is to accrue earnings unless a loan becomes nonperforming, at which time the accrued earnings are reversed. Single-family residential mortgage loans are generally evaluated for impairment as homogeneous pools of loans. Certain situations may arise leading to single-family residential mortgage loans being evaluated for impairment on an individual basis. A change in the fair value of an impaired loan is reported as an increase or reduction to the provision for loan losses. Certain loans meet the criteria of troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings." TDRs totaled $196 million at September 30, 1994 compared with $380 million at September 30, 1993. In the second quarter of 1993, Federal Banking Regulators issued a joint release regarding credit availability. Based on this release, TDRs which meet certain conditions of repayment and performance have not been included in nonperforming assets. At September 30, 1994, $18 million of TDRs were classified as performing assets. Real estate available for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and is included in a periodic review of assets to determine whether, in management's judgment, there has been any deterioration in value. Real estate held for development, also subject to the same review process, is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Properties where future development is uncertain are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Real estate is also included in the general reserve evaluation. Foreclosed real estate properties totaling $54 million are operating profitably after provisions for interest and depreciation and are performing assets. Nonperforming assets include loans which are delinquent ninety days or more, TDRs which do not meet certain performance criteria and certain real estate owned which does not generate sufficient income to meet return on investment criteria. As of September 30, 1994, nonperforming assets dropped below $1 billion, a level which had not been reached since December 1988. The following table indicates the amount of the Company's nonperforming assets and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets:

Nonperforming real estate loans and real estate decreased by $150 million during the third quarter of 1994. Total nonperforming single-family residential properties decreased $80 million in the third quarter of 1994 due to a decrease in new ninety day delinquencies. Single-family residential properties in California decreased $68 million while out of state properties declined $12 million. The loss on single-family foreclosures sold in the third quarter of 1994 was 19.8% of the loan balances at foreclosure compared with 25.8% and 20.1% in the second and first quarters of 1994, respectively. Nonperforming commercial and apartment properties declined $70 million in the third quarter of 1994 as sales of commercial and apartment properties outpaced new delinquencies. In an effort to reduce nonperforming assets, the Company completed four bulk asset sales in the second half of 1993 totaling $659 million. In the third quarter of 1994, bulk sales of foreclosed single-family properties totaled $69.8 million. In the first nine months of 1994, bulk sales of foreclosed single- family properties totaled $225 million. Auction sales have also been utilized to accelerate the disposition of foreclosed properties. Foreclosures continue to occur at relatively high levels. The Company provides a reserve for uncollected interest which is essentially based upon loans delinquent ninety days or more or in foreclosure. These loans are considered in "nonaccrual" status.

Loan loss provisions of $34 million were reallocated in the third quarter of 1994 from Other real estate loans to SFR based on the Company's review of reserve levels which showed an excess of commercial and apartment loan reserves. Beginning in the third quarter of 1994 writedowns on foreclosed real estate to estimated fair value are being recorded at acquisition. Charge-offs on SFRs in the third quarter of 1994 included approximately $27 million of writedowns to estimated fair value for real estate acquired prior to the current quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, provisions for losses on the leasing portfolio, included in Other loan loss provisions, decreased due to the reversal of a $6 million provision originally established for an expected loss which did not materialize. In the third quarter of 1993, as a result of the sale of the Bank card portfolio, reserves of $20.3 million were reversed. The following table presents the Company's reserve for estimated losses and the reserve as a percent of the respective loans receivable portfolios:

(1) The rate variance reflects the change in the average rate multiplied by the average balance outstanding during the prior period. (2) The volume variance reflects the change in the average balance outstanding multiplied by the average rate during the prior period. (3) The rate/volume variance reflects the change in the average rate multiplied by the change in the average balance outstanding. (4) Nonaccrual loans and amortized deferred loan fees are included in the interest income calculations. Real estate services income totaled $68.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared with $84.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1993. The decrease in income was attributed to both lower loan fees and lower gains on mortgage sales. Gains on mortgage sales decreased as a result of lower sales activity. Mortgage sales in the first nine months of 1994, all fixed rate, totaled $1.1 billion, at a gain of .58% of mortgage sales, compared with $2.3 billion in the first nine months of last year at a gain of .75% of mortgage sales. The reduced gain as a percentage of mortgage sales is a result of lower excess servicing gains. Servicing income increased as the net servicing spread was 43 basis points of the servicing portfolio at September 30, 1994, or 4 basis points higher than a year ago. Loans serviced for others totaled $11.3 billion at September 30, 1994 compared with $12.6 billion one year earlier. The portfolio of loans serviced for others is expected to decline as a result of the lower level of fixed-rate loan originations and sales. Retail banking fee and commission income increased from $111 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1993 to $136 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1994. Securities operations income and retail banking fees both increased because of expanding activity. Banking fees increased from higher transaction balances, deposits acquired in acquisitions and higher fees charged. The Company has also expanded mutual fund activity which comprises commissions and other income from mutual fund operations. Net revenue from these operations totaled $31.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared with $28.3 million in the same period of 1993. The Company managed mutual funds with assets aggregating $3.2 billion at September 30, 1994 compared with $3.1 billion at September 30, 1993. Other income was $29.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared with $49.7 million for the same period a year ago. For the 1994 third quarter, other income was $9.2 million compared with $33.1 million for the 1993 third quarter. During the third quarter of 1993, GWFC completed the sale of its $220 million credit card portfolio resulting in a net gain of $22.9 million. Operating expenses were $746 million for the first nine months of 1994, compared with $713 million for the first nine months of 1993. The increase in operating and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, compared with the same period in 1993, resulted in part from the inclusion of the operations related to the HomeFed acquisition completed in December 1993 and from approximately $10 million resulting from repairs of earthquake damage to the Company's administrative facilities. Operating expenses increased 4% between the third quarters of 1994 and 1993 and increased 5% between the same periods of 1993 and 1992. Operating expenses increased 5% between the 1994 and 1993 nine month periods ending September 30. The operating ratios were as follows:

During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a $30 million restructuring charge, primarily associated with the cost-reduction program at the Company's administrative headquarters. The program, designed to increase profits and improve efficiency, is being phased in throughout 1994. Approximately $22 million was charged against this reserve in the first nine months of 1994, principally employee separation expenses and associated costs. An estimated 1,000 jobs, or 25% of the administrative work force, are expected to be eliminated as a result of the cost-reduction program. Approximately 900 positions have been eliminated as of September 30, 1994 through layoffs and attrition. Reductions in nonpersonnel related costs will also contribute to the overall savings through renegotiation of existing vendor contracts and elimination of other administrative expenses. Anticipated savings in 1995 and beyond will exceed $100 million annually. Approximately $60 million of savings will be realized in 1994. The following table presents net earnings (annualized) as a percent of average assets and as a percent of average equity:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 ------------------ ----------------- 1994 1993 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- ---- Return on average assets .59% (.18)% .57% .28% Return on average equity 9.43 (2.84) 8.95 4.35
The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1994 decreased due to the reversal of certain tax liabilities no longer required. As a result, the Company's effective tax rate was 39.9% in the first nine months of 1994 and 33.8% in the same period of 1993. The lower rate in 1993 is attributed to a favorable settlement of certain tax issues and the reversal of certain tax liabilities no longer required. DEPOSIT INSURANCE PREMIUMS Under current law, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") is required to increase the reserves of both the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") to 1.25% of insured deposits over a reasonable period of time and thereafter to maintain such reserves at not less than that level. Based on current experience, it is generally anticipated that the BIF will reach the required reserve level in the near future. However, it is expected that the SAIF reserves will not reach the required level for a number of years without Congressional action to provide additional funding or merge the separate insurance funds in some fashion. Accordingly, it is possible that, absent such Congressional action, future deposit insurance premiums of SAIF-insured institutions may be assessed at higher rates than the corresponding premium assessment rates for BIF-insured institutions. Such a deposit insurance premium disparity could place SAIF-insured institutions, such as GWB, at a competitive disadvantage with commercial banks and other BIF-insured institutions. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Capital (stockholders' equity) was $2.4 billion at September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993. At the end of the 1994 third quarter the ratio of capital to total assets was 6.1% compared with 6.5% a year ago. GWB is subject to certain capital requirements under applicable regulations and meets all such requirements. At September 30, 1994, GWB's capital was $2.6 billion, including subordinated notes of $429 million. The following ratios, as of the most recent quarter end, compare GWB with the fully phased-in capital requirements under regulations issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"):
Actual OTS Benchmark -------------- ------------- Capital (Dollars in millions) Amount % Amount % Excess ------ --- ------ --- ------- Leverage/tangible ratio $1,894 5.05 $1,124 3.00 $ 770 Risk-based ratio 2,561 11.53 1,777 8.00 784
The OTS has amended its risk-based capital rules to incorporate interest-rate risk requirements. Effective July 1, 1994, a savings association is required to hold additional capital if it is projected to experience a 2% decline in "net portfolio value" in the event interest rates increase or decrease by two percentage points. Additional capital required is equal to one-half of the amount by which any decline in net portfolio value exceeds 2% of the savings association's total net portfolio value. GWB does not expect the interest-rate risk requirements to have a material impact on its required capital levels. The OTS has proposed to amend its capital rule on the leverage ratio requirement to reflect amendments made by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") to the capital requirements for national banks. The proposal would establish a 3% leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets) for savings associations in the strongest financial and managerial condition. All other savings associations would be required to maintain leverage ratios of at least 4%. Only savings associations rated composite 1 under the OTS CAMEL rating system will be permitted to operate at or near the regulatory minimum leverage ratio of 3%. For all other savings associations, the minimum core capital leverage ratio will be 3% plus at least an additional 100 to 200 basis points. In determining the amount of additional capital, the OTS will assess both the quality of risk management systems and the level of overall risk in each individual savings association through the supervisory process on a case-by-case basis. The OTS' supervisory judgment on a savings association's capital adequacy, both in terms of risk-based capital and the minimum leverage ratio, will continue to be based upon an assessment of the relevant factors present in each institution. Savings associations that do not pass the minimum capital standards established under the new core capital leverage ratio requirements will be required to submit capital plans detailing steps to be taken to reach compliance. GWB currently meets these proposed requirements. As of September 30, 1994, real estate loan commitments totaled $846 million compared with $777 million at December 31, 1993 and $925 million at September 30, 1993. These commitments included $810 million of ARMs and $36 million at fixed rates at September 30, 1994. The high percentage of ARM commitments is indicative of a fully adjusted interest rate on COFI ARMs that is more than 200 basis points lower than the rates offered on 30-year fixed- rate loans. The Company has several sources for raising funds for lending, among which are mortgage repayments, mortgage sales, customer deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and other borrowings. The following table presents the debt ratings of the Company and GWB at September 30, 1994:
Moody's Investors Standard & Poor's Service ----------------- ----------------- GWFC GWB GWFC GWB ---- --- ---- --- Unsecured short-term debt A-2 P-2 Senior term debt BBB+ A- Baa2 A3 Subordinated term debt BBB+ Baa1 Preferred stock BBB- Baa3
The origination and sale of real estate loans is dependent upon general market conditions. In an active real estate market loan originations increase. In such periods mortgage sales are usually increased to fund a portion of originations and to control asset growth. However, in some periods mortgage sales occur to fund customer account outflows and repay borrowings which result in asset shrinkage. Mortgage sales also occur to limit interest-rate risk and for restructuring purposes. As presented in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows the sources of liquidity vary between quarters. The primary sources of funds in the third quarter of 1994 were principal payments on mortgages held for investment of $1.4 billion and an increase in borrowings, both short term and long term, of $2.3 billion. New loans originated for investment required $2.4 billion and net customer account withdrawals totaled $802 million. Operating activities provided $75.9 million in the current quarter. The Company continued to maintain liquidity balances each period in excess of funding and legal requirements. Cash and securities totaled $1.8 billion at September 30, 1994 and $1.3 billion at September 30, 1993. DIVIDENDS Quarterly cash dividends have been paid since 1977. At its October 1994 meeting, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.23 per common share. The quarterly cash dividend has been paid at this level since the second quarter of 1992. In the third quarter of 1994 the regular quarterly dividend on the $129 million 8 3/4% cumulative convertible preferred stock, issued in May 1991, and the regular quarterly dividend on the $165 million 8.3% cumulative preferred stock, issued in September 1992, were paid. The Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan permits a 3% discount on stock purchased with reinvested dividends. During the third quarter 1994 reinvested dividends totaled $7.9 million. Effective March 31, 1994, Bryant Financial Corporation ("Bryant"), a property development subsidiary, became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company. This realignment was in the form of a dividend from GWB to GWFC in the amount of Bryant's book value of $38 million. The principal source of operating income of the Company on an unconsolidated basis is dividends from GWB and Aristar, Inc ("Aristar"). In the third quarter of 1994, cash dividends received from GWB and Aristar totaled $22.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. GWB is subject to the regulations of the OTS and FDIC. The OTS regulations impose limitations upon "capital distributions" by savings associations, including cash dividends. The regulations establish a three-tiered system: Tier 1 includes savings associations with capital at least equal to their fully phased-in capital requirement which have not been notified that they are in need of more than normal supervision; Tier 2 includes savings associations with capital above their minimum capital requirement but less than their fully phased-in requirement; and Tier 3 includes savings associations with capital below their minimum capital requirement. Tier 1 associations may, after prior notice but without approval of the OTS, make capital distributions up to the higher of (1) 100% of their net income during the calendar year plus the amount that would reduce by one half their "surplus capital ratio" (the excess over their fully phased-in capital requirement) at the beginning of the calendar year or (2) 75% of their net income over the most recent four- quarter period. Tier 2 associations may, after prior notice but without approval of the OTS, make capital distributions of up to 25% to 75% of their net income over the most recent four-quarter period depending upon their current risk-based capital position. Tier 3 associations may not make capital distributions without prior approval. An association subject to more stringent restrictions imposed by agreement may apply to remove the more stringent restrictions. The Company believes that GWB is a Tier 1 association. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the regulatory authorities have broad discretion to prohibit any payment of dividends and take other actions if they determine that the payment of such dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Among the circumstances posing such risk would be a capital distribution by a Tier 1 or Tier 2 association whose capital is decreasing because of substantial losses.

PURPOSE The Plan consists of two programs: (i) a Key Employee Program for the grant of awards to officers, key employees and advisory directors of the Company and certain other individuals who perform significant services for the Company; and (ii) a Director Program for the grant of Nonqualified Stock Options to Nonemployee Directors of the Corporation. The purpose of the Key Employee Program is to strengthen the Company by providing an additional means of retaining and attracting competent management personnel and by providing to participating officers and key employees and other participants a financial incentive for high levels of performance. The purpose of the Director Program is to attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable independent directors and to provide additional incentive for such directors to work for the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders. II. ADMINISTRATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF AWARDS The Director Program shall be non-discretionary and automatic and, to the maximum extent possible, shall be self-effectuating. The Administrator is authorized and empowered to administer the Plan, which administration shall include (but not be limited to) authority to (i) construe and interpret the Plan and any agreements defining the rights and obligations of the Corporation and Participants under the Plan; (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (iii) further define the terms used in the Plan; (iv) determine the rights and obligations of Participants under the Plan; and (v) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement signed by the Corporation and the Participant and shall be in such form and shall include such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator may in its discretion from time to time determine. In addition, the Administrator is authorized and empowered to grant Awards under the Key Employee Program, which authority shall include (but not be limited to) authority to (i) select the Eligible Employees to whom Awards under the Key Employee Program are to be granted; and (ii) determine the time or times at which Awards under the Key Employee Program may be granted, the nature of Awards under the Key Employee Program, the number of shares of Common Stock that make up Awards under the Key Employee Program, the objectives, goals and performance criteria used to measure the value of Awards under the Key Employee Program and other terms and conditions applicable to each Award under the Key Employee Program in a manner not inconsistent with the Plan. Any Award granted under the Key Employee Program shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve and the provisions of Awards granted under the Key Employee Program need not be the same with respect to each Employee Participant. Subject to Section 6.4 hereof and the general limitations on Awards contained herein, the Administrator may authorize any adjustment in the exercise or purchase price, the number of shares subject to, the restrictions upon or the term of, an Award granted under the Key Employee Program by cancellation of an outstanding Award and a subsequent regranting of an Award or by amendment or by substitution of an outstanding Award. Such amendment, substitution or regrant may result in an exercise or purchase price which is higher or lower than the exercise or purchase price of the prior Award, provide for a greater or lesser number of shares subject to the Award, or provide for a longer or shorter term than the prior Award. In the event action by the Administrator is taken by unanimous written consent, the action of the Administrator shall be deemed to be the date the last member of the Committee signs the consent. Any action taken, or determination or adjustment made, by the Corporation, any Subsidiary, the Board of Directors or the Committee relating to the Plan or any Award hereunder, including, without limitation, adjustments pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof, shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons. In making determinations under the Plan, the Board of Directors or the Committee may obtain and may rely upon the advice of independent counsel and accountants and other advisors to the Corporation. No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee, or officer of the Corporation or Subsidiary, shall be liable for any such action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder. III. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN The stock available under the Plan shall be shares of the Corporation's authorized but unissued Common Stock or shares of Common Stock heretofore or hereafter acquired by the Corporation. Subject to Section 6.2 hereof, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed 12,500,000 and the maximum number thereof that may be delivered under the Director Program shall not exceed 750,000. If any option or other right to acquire shares of Common Stock under an Award shall lapse or be cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full, or any Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award or other Award shall not vest or be delivered, the unpurchased, unvested or undelivered shares formerly subject thereto shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. If a Stock Appreciation Right is exercised or a Performance Award based on the increased market value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock is paid, the number of shares of Common Stock to which such exercise or payment relates under the applicable Award shall be charged against the maximum amount of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to Awards under the Plan and, if applicable, such Award. In the event the Corporation withholds shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof, the number of shares that would have been deliverable with respect to an Award but that are withheld pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6 hereof shall in effect not be issued, but the aggregate number of shares issuable with respect to the applicable Award and under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares withheld and such shares shall not be available for granting additional Awards under the Plan. If the Corporation accepts shares in payment of the exercise or purchase price of an Award pursuant to Section 4.2.2 or otherwise, the number of surrendered shares shall not be deducted from the number of shares otherwise chargeable against such maximum. To the extent a Performance Award or Dividend Equivalent constitutes an equity security (as this phrase is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) issued by the Corporation and is paid in shares of Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Performance Award or Dividend Equivalent shall be charged (but, in the case of a Dividend Equivalent, without duplication if such shares have already been charged against the maximum) against the maximum amount of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards to Eligible Employees under the Plan. Shares underlying any unexercised or unvested Award outstanding shall be reserved against the applicable plan maximum even if such shares are subject to vesting or other restrictions; provided, however, that once such Award expires or is forfeited, terminated or otherwise cancelled without delivery of the shares, the shares formerly so reserved shall (subject to the foregoing provisions) again be available under the Plan. IV. THE KEY EMPLOYEE PROGRAM 4.1 Participation ------------- Awards under the Key Employee Program may be granted only to Eligible Employees. An Eligible Employee who has been granted an Award under the Key Employee Program may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards under the Key Employee Program if the Administrator shall so determine. 4.2 Options ------- 4.2.1 GRANTS. One or more Options may be granted to any Eligible Employee. Each Option so granted shall be designated by the Administrator as either a Nonqualified Stock Option or an Incentive Stock Option. 4.2.2 OPTION PRICE. The purchase price per share of the Common Stock covered by each Option shall be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than (i) the Par Value per share in the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option and (ii) 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the Award Date in the case of an Incentive Stock Option. The purchase price of any shares purchased shall be paid in full at the time of each purchase in cash (or cash equivalent) or, at the Administrator's discretion, in shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the business day next preceding the date of exercise of the Option, or partly in such shares and partly in cash, or in such other form of legal consideration as may be approved from time to time by the Administrator and the Board of Directors. 4.2.3 MAXIMUM OPTION TERM. Each Option and all rights or obligations thereunder shall expire on such date as shall be determined by the Administrator, but not later than ten years after the Award Date, and shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in the related Award Agreement and Sections 4.9 and 6.3 hereof. 4.2.4 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof, an Option shall become exercisable in such manner and within such period or periods and in such installments, if any, as shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the related Award Agreement. If the holder of an Option shall not purchase all of the shares which he or she is entitled to purchase in any given installment period, the right to purchase shares not purchased in such installment period shall continue until the lapse or termination of such Option. 4.2.5 LIMITATIONS ON GRANT OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Award Date) of the Common Stock for which Incentive Stock Options may be first exercisable (other than as a result of acceleration) by any Employee Participant during any calendar year under the Plan or under any other plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall not exceed $100,000. There shall be imposed in the Award Agreement relating to Incentive Stock Options such terms and conditions as are required in order that the Option be an "incentive stock option" as that term is defined in Section 422A of the Code. The Administrator may, however, with the consent of a holder of any Incentive Stock Option, authorize an amendment to the Incentive Stock Option that renders it a Nonqualified Stock Option. 4.3 RESTRICTED STOCK 4.3.1 GRANTS. One or more Restricted Stock Awards may be granted to any Eligible Employee. Each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to the Employee Participant, the date of such delivery, the price to be paid for such shares by the Employee Participant and the restrictions imposed on such shares. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof, the restrictions imposed upon Restricted Stock will lapse in accordance with such schedule and other conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the related Award Agreement. 4.3.2 PRICE. The purchase price per share of shares of Restricted Stock shall be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than the Par Value thereof. 4.3.3 MAXIMUM AWARD TERM. Shares of Restricted Stock shall vest and all restrictions thereon lapse on such date as shall be determined by the Administrator, but not later than ten years after the Award Date, and rights to such shares shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in the related Award Agreement and in Sections 4.9 and 6.3 hereof. 4.3.4 RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS. To the extent provided in the Award Agreement, an Employee Participant receiving Restricted Stock may be entitled to dividend and/or voting rights for shares delivered even though they are not vested, provided that such rights in any event shall terminate immediately as to any forfeited Restricted Stock. 4.4 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 4.4.1 GRANTS. Stock Appreciation Rights related or unrelated to Options or other Awards may be granted to Eligible Employees: (i) at any time if unrelated to an Award or if related to any Award other than an Incentive Stock Option; or (ii) only at the time of grant if related to an Incentive Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right may extend to all or a portion of the shares covered by a related Award. 4.4.2 EXERCISE OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Award shall be exercisable only at such time or times, and to the extent, that a related Award is exercisable. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option may be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the related Award exceeds the exercise price of the related Award. 4.4.3 PAYMENT. (i) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, and if such Stock Appreciation Right is related to an Award surrender of an exercisable portion of the related Award, the Employee Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying: (a) the difference obtained by subtracting the purchase price of a share of Common Stock specified in the related Award, or if such Stock Appreciation Right is unrelated to an Award the initial share value specified in the Award, from the Fair Market Value, book value or other measure specified in the Award of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right, by (b) the number of shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. (ii) The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may require settlement of the amount determined under paragraph (i) above solely in cash, solely in shares of Common Stock (valued at Fair Market Value on the business day next preceding the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right), or partly in such shares and partly in cash. 4.4.4 MAXIMUM STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT TERM. Each Stock Appreciation Right and all rights or obligations thereunder shall expire on such date as shall be determined by the Administrator, but not later than ten years after the Award Date, and shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in the related Award Agreement and Sections 4.9 and 6.3 hereof. 4.5 PERFORMANCE AWARDS One or more Performance Awards may be granted to any Eligible Employee. The value of such Awards may be linked to the market value, book value or other measure of the value of the Common Stock or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or over any period determined by the Administrator, or may be based upon the appreciation in the market value, book value or other measure of the value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock over a fixed period determined by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the Employee Participant. 4.6 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS An Employee Participant may also be granted "Dividend Equivalents" based on the dividends declared on the Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the Award Date and the date such Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Administrator. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. 4.7 STOCK PAYMENT The Administrator may approve Stock Payments to Eligible Employees who elect to receive such payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator. The number of shares shall be determined by the Administrator and may be based upon the Fair Market Value, book value or other measure of the value of such shares on the Award Date or on any date thereafter. 4.8 TIME OF PAYMENT The Administrator may approve the deferral of any payments that may become due under the Plan. Such deferrals shall be subject to any conditions, restrictions or requirements as the Administrator may determine. 4.9 TERMINATION OF AWARDS In connection with the grant of any Award under the Plan, the Administrator may provide in the Award Agreement for the termination of all or any portion of an Award under certain circumstances, including, without limitation, termination of an Employee Participant's employment as a result of resignation, retirement, Disability or death, or for cause, and may distinguish among various causes of termination as the Administrator deems appropriate. In addition, the Administrator may provide, through an Award Agreement or otherwise, that in the event an Employee Participant's employment is terminated, (i) such Employee Participant's Awards may be exercised for specified periods thereafter within the Award Period, (ii) to the extent not fully exercisable or otherwise vested on the termination date, such Employee Participant's Awards may continue to become exercisable within the Award Period, or (iii) the portion of the Award available to such Employee Participant, or his or her Beneficiary or Personal Representative, as the case may be, may be increased. 4.10 LOANS The Corporation may, with the Administrator's approval, extend one or more loans to Employee Participants in connection with the exercise or receipt of outstanding Awards granted under the Plan; provided any such loan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) The principal of the loan shall not exceed the amount required to be paid to the Corporation upon the exercise or receipt of one or more Awards under the Plan less the aggregate Par Value of any Common Stock deliverable on such event, and the loan proceeds shall be paid directly to the Corporation in consideration of such exercise or receipt. (ii) The initial term of the loan shall be determined by the Administrator; provided that the term of the loan, including extensions, shall not exceed a period of ten years. (iii) The loan shall be with full recourse to the Employee Participant, shall be evidenced by the Employee Participant's promissory note and shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Administrator but not less than the Corporation's average cost of funds as of a date within 31 days of the date of such loan, as determined by the Administrator. (iv) In the event an Employee Participant terminates his or her employment at the request of the Corporation, the unpaid principal balance of the note shall become due and payable on the tenth business day after such termination; provided, however, that if a sale of such shares would cause such Employee Participant to incur liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the unpaid balance shall become due and payable on the tenth business day after the first day on which a sale of such shares could have been made without incurring such liability assuming for these purposes that there are no other transactions by the Employee Participant subsequent to such termination. In the event an Employee Participant terminates employment other than at the request of the Corporation, the unpaid principal balance of the note shall become due and payable six months after the date of such termination. V. THE DIRECTOR PROGRAM 5.1 PARTICIPATION Awards under the Director Program shall be granted to each Nonemployee Director exclusively in accordance with the provisions set forth below and subject to the limitations in Article III. 5.2 ANNUAL OPTION GRANTS (i) Upon the effective date of the Plan, there shall be granted automatically (without any action by the Administrator) a Nonqualified Stock Option to each Nonemployee Director then in office to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock. The Award Date of each such option shall be the effective date of the Plan. From time to time if, as and when any person who is not then an officer or employee of the Company shall become a director of the Corporation, effective upon the date such person takes office as a director, there shall be granted automatically (without any action by the Administrator) a Nonqualified Stock Option (the Award Date of which shall be the date such person takes office) to such person to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock. (ii) On January 2 (or if January 2 is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day) in each calendar year after 1988 during the term of the Plan, there shall be granted automatically (without any action by the Administrator) a Nonqualified Stock Option (the Award Date of which shall be such date in January) to each Nonemployee Director then in office and who has not attained age 72 to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock.

The Award Date of each such Option shall be the applicable date in January. 5.3.2 OPTION FORMULA. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Nonqualified Stock Option granted to such electing Nonemployee Director shall be equal to the nearer number of whole shares determined in accordance with the following formula: Number Annual Retainer = of Fair Market Value minus Par Value Shares "Annual Retainer" shall mean the amount of fixed fees which the director of the Corporation will be entitled to receive for serving as a director of the Corporation in the relevant Plan Year, assuming no change in such compensation from that in effect as of the date in January on which the Nonqualified Stock Option is granted, and shall not include fees for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors or for any other services to be provided to the Company. Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the Award Date. 5.4 OPTION PRICE The purchase price per share of the Common Stock covered by each Option granted pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof shall be 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Award Date and the purchase price per share of the Common Stock covered by each Option granted pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof shall be the Par Value thereof. The purchase price of any shares purchased shall be paid in full at the time of each purchase in cash (or cash equivalent) or in shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the business day next preceding the date of exercise of the Option, or partly in such shares and partly in cash. 5.5 OPTION PERIOD Each Option granted under the Director Program and all rights or obligations thereunder shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Award Date and shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in Sections 5.7 and 5.8 hereof. 5.6 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.7, 5.8 and 6.2 hereof, (i) each Option granted under Section 5.2 hereof shall become exercisable in 50% installments on the first and second anniversaries of the Award Date and (ii) each Option granted under Section 5.3 hereof shall become exercisable in 50% installments on the six month and one year anniversary of the Award Date. 5.7 TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP 5.7.1 OPTIONS REPRESENTING ANNUAL GRANTS. If a Nonemployee Director Participant's services as a member of the Board of Directors terminate by reason of death, Disability or Normal Board Retirement, an Option granted pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof held by such Nonemployee Director Participant shall immediately become and shall remain exercisable for two years after the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter. If a Nonemployee Director Participant's services as a member of the Board of Directors terminate for any other reason, any portion of an Option granted pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof held by such Nonemployee Director Participant which is not then exercisable shall terminate and any portion of such Option which is then exercisable may be exercised for three months after the date of such termination or the balance of such Option's term, whichever period is shorter. 5.7.2 OPTIONS REPRESENTING DEFERRED FEES.

VI. OTHER PROVISIONS 6.1 RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES, PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES 6.1.1 EMPLOYEE STATUS. Status as an Eligible Employee shall not be construed as a commitment that any Award will be made under the Plan to an Eligible Employee or to Eligible Employees generally. 6.1.2 NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. Nothing contained in the Plan (or in the Award Agreements or in any other documents related to the Plan or to Awards) shall confer upon any Eligible Employee or any Employee Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or constitute any contract or agreement of employment, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to reduce such person's compensation or to terminate the employment of such Eligible Employee or Employee Participant, with or without cause, but nothing contained in the Plan or any document related thereto shall affect any other contractual right of any Eligible Employee or Employee Participant. Nothing contained in the Plan (or in the Award Agreements or in any other documents related to the Plan or to Awards) shall confer upon any director of the Corporation any right to continue as a director of the Corporation. 6.1.3 NO TRANSFERABILITY. Awards may be exercised only by, and amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an Award shall be paid only to or registered only in the name of, the Participant or, in the event of the Participant's death, to the Participant's Beneficiary or, in the event of the Participant's Disability, to the Participant's Personal Representative or, if there is none, to the Participant. Other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, no right or benefit under the Plan or any Award, including, without limitation, any Option or any other derivative security issued under the Plan or any share of Restricted Stock that has not vested, shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any such attempted action shall be void and no such right or benefit shall be, in any manner, liable for, or subject to, debts, contracts, iabilities, engagements or torts of any Eligible Employee, Participant or Beneficiary, in any case except as may otherwise be expressly required by applicable law. The Administrator shall disregard any attempt at transfer, assignment or other alienation prohibited by the preceding sentence and shall pay or deliver such cash or shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may authorize exercise by or transfers or payments to a third party in a specific case or more generally; provided, however, with respect to any option or similar right (including any stock appreciation right) such discretion may only be exercised to the extent that applicable rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act would so permit without disqualifying the Plan or Awards and rights thereunder from certain benefits under such rules. 6.1.4 PLAN NOT FUNDED. No Participant, Beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock) of the Company by reason of any Award granted hereunder. There shall be no funding of any benefits which may become payable hereunder. Neither the provisions of the Plan (or of any documents related hereto), nor the creation or adoption of the Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, Beneficiary or other person. To the extent that a Participant, Beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive an Award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. Awards payable under the Plan shall be paid in shares of Common Stock or from the general assets of the Corporation, and no special or separate fund or deposit shall be established and no segregation of assets or shares shall be made to assure payment of such Awards. 6.2 ADJUSTMENT UPON CAPITALIZATION AND CORPORATE CHANGES If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for cash or a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Corporation, or if additional shares or new or different shares or securities are distributed with respect to the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, through a reorganization or merger in which the Corporation is the surviving entity or through a combination, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassifica-tion, stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, stock consolidation or other capital change or adjustment, an appropriate proportionate, equitable adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares or other consideration that is subject to or may be delivered under the Plan and pursuant to outstanding Awards. A corresponding adjustment to the consideration payable with respect to Awards granted prior to any such change and to the price, if any, to be paid in connection with Restricted Stock Awards shall also be made as appropriate. Corresponding adjustments shall be made with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights related to Options based upon the adjustments, if any, made to the Options to which they are related. In addition, the Administrator may grant such additional rights in the foregoing circumstances as the Administrator deems to be in the best interest of any Employee Participant and the Corporation in order to preserve for the Employee Participant the benefits of an Award. 6.3 ACCELERATION OF AWARDS Immediately prior to the occurrence of an Event, (i) each Option and Stock Appreciation Right under the Key Employee Program shall become exercisable in full, (ii) Restricted Stock delivered under the Key Employee Program shall immediately vest free of restrictions, and (iii) each other Award outstanding under the Key Employee Program shall be fully vested or exercisable, unless, prior to the Event, the Administrator otherwise determines that there shall be no such acceleration or vesting of an Award or otherwise determines those Awards which shall be accelerated or vested and the extent to which they shall be accelerated or vested, or that an Award shall terminate, or unless in connection with such Event the Administrator provides (i) for the assumption of such Awards theretofore granted, or (ii) for the substitution for such Awards of new awards covering securities or obligations (or any combination thereof) of a successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to number and kind of shares and prices, or (iii) for the payment of the fair value of the then outstanding Awards. In addition, the Administrator may grant such additional rights in the foregoing circumstances as the Administrator deems to be in the best interest of the Employee Participant and the Corporation in order to preserve for the Employee Participant the benefits of an Award. For purposes of this Section 6.3 only, Administrator shall mean the Administrator as constituted immediately prior to the Event. In addition, the Administrator may in its sole discretion accelerate the exercisability or vesting of any or all Awards outstanding under the Key Employee Program in circumstances under which the Administrator determines such acceleration appropriate. 6.4 TERMINATION, SUSPENSION AND AMENDMENT The Board of Directors may, at any time, suspend, amend, modify or terminate the Plan (or any part thereof), and the Administrator may, with the consent of an Employee Participant, authorize such modifications of the terms and conditions of such Participant's Award as it shall deem advisable; provided that, except as permitted under the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, no amendment or modification of the Plan as approved by stockholders may be adopted without approval by a majority of the shares of the Common Stock represented (in person or by proxy) at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote thereat, if such amendment or modification would: (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor provision; (ii) materially increase the aggregate number of shares which may be delivered pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan; or (iii) materially modify the requirements of eligibility for participation in the Plan. Neither adoption of the Plan nor the provisions hereof shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors or the Administrator to adopt other plans or to authorize other payments of compensation and benefits under applicable law. No Awards under the Plan may be granted or amended during any suspension of the Plan or after its termination. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations pertaining to any Awards granted under the Plan prior to such amendment, suspension or termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, the provisions of Article V that establish the amount and price of securities to be granted or awarded, and the timing of the award or grant of such securities, to Non-Employee Directors shall not be amended more than once every six months, other than as may be necessary to comport with any relevant changes in the Code or regulations thereunder. 6.5 PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP; MINIMUM PURCHASE; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES A Participant shall not be entitled to the privilege of stock ownership as to any shares of Common Stock until certificates evidencing such shares are actually issued in the name of such Participant. No Award or installment thereof shall be exercisable except in respect of whole shares, and fractional share interests shall be disregarded. No fewer than twenty-five shares may be purchased at one time unless the number purchased is the total number at the time available for purchase under the Option or other Award. 6.6 TAX WITHHOLDING AND TAX BONUSES The Corporation shall be entitled to require deduction from other compensation payable to each Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to an Award, but, in the alternative, (i) the Corporation may require the Participant to advance such sums, or (ii) if a Participant, other than a Nonemployee Director Participant, elects, the Corporation may withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. If the Employee Participant elects to advance such sums directly, written notice of that election shall be delivered prior to such exercise and, whether pursuant to such election or pursuant to a requirement imposed by the Corporation, payment in cash or by check of such sums for taxes shall be delivered within ten days after the date of exercise. If the Employee Participant elects to have the Corporation withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld, the value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld will be equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date"). Elections by eligible Participants to have shares of Common Stock withheld for this purpose will be subject to the following restrictions: (w) the election must be made prior to the Tax Date, (x) the election must be irrevocable, (y) the election will be subject to the disapproval of the Administrator, and (z) if the Participant is an officer of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the election shall be subject to such additional restrictions as the Administrator may impose in an effort to secure the benefits of any regulations thereunder. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue shares and/or distribute cash to the Participant upon exercise of any Award until such payment has been received or shares have been so withheld, unless withholding (or offset against a cash payment) as of or prior to the date of such exercise is sufficient to cover all such sums due or which may be due with respect to such exercise. In addition, the Administrator may grant to any Employee Participant a cash bonus in the amount of any sum required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to an Award. 6.7 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS The Plan, the granting of Awards under the Plan, the Award Agreements and the delivery of Options, shares of Common Stock and other Awards (and/or the payment of money or Common Stock) pursuant thereto and the extension of any loans hereunder are subject to such additional requirements as the Administrator may impose to assure or facilitate compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, securities laws and margin requirements) and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency which may be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. In connection with the administration of the Plan or the grant of any Award, the Administrator may impose such further limitations or conditions as in its opinion may be required or advisable to satisfy, or secure the benefits of, applicable regulatory requirements (including those rules promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or those rules that facilitate exemption from or compliance with the Act or the Exchange Act), the requirements of any stock exchange upon which such shares or shares of the same class are then listed, and any blue sky or other securities laws applicable to such shares. 6.8 GOVERNING LAWS The Plan and all Awards granted under the Plan and the documents evidencing Awards shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, except as to those matters governed by the laws of the State of Delaware as the state of incorporation of the Corporation. 6.9 EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN The Plan first became effective (except as provided below) on February 23, 1988 and was approved by stockholders of the Corporation on April 26, 1988. The Plan was amended by the Board of Directors in December 1989, November 1991, July 1992, February 1993 (subject to Stockholder approval which was obtained on April 27, 1993) and July 1993.
