                  DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S FISCAL YEAR 2003
                              EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN


Target annual bonuses are set for each executive based upon a percentage of base
salary. Bonuses are generally paid in two parts, one of which relates only to
the Company's earnings results, and one of which is discretionary and is
measured against each individual executive's contributions. Some executives may
have a third part which relates to a specific business unit's or product's
financial performance. Bonuses are paid after the end of the fiscal year. If
profits in any period are less than 85% of the Company's plan, no bonus based on
the Company's performance may be paid for that period. If profits exceed plan
during a period, the bonus rate is accelerated for the incremental profits above
plan, with a maximum of 200% payout of the bonus target.
