     (b) Legality of Issuance of Shares. No Common Stock shall be issued
pursuant to an Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to such
issuance have been satisfied.

     (c) Ownership of Common Stock Allocated to Plan. No Participant
(individually or as a member of a group), and no beneficiary or other person
claiming under or through such Participant, shall have any right, title or
interest in or to any Common Stock allocated or reserved for purposes of the
Plan or subject to any Award, except as to shares of Common Stock, if any, as
shall have been issued to such individual.

     (d) Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of Michigan.

     (e) Exception to Nontransferability of Awards. Under such rules and
procedures as the Board may establish, the holder of an Award may transfer such
Award to members of the holder's immediate family (i.e., children, grandchildren
and spouse) or to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members or
to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided
that (i) the agreement, if any, with respect to such Awards, expressly so
permits or is amended to so permit, (ii) the holder does not receive any
consideration for such transfer, and (iii) the holder provides such
documentation or information concerning any such transfer or transferee as the
Board may reasonably request. Any Award held by any transferee shall be subject
to the same terms and conditions that applied immediately prior to its transfer.
The Board may also amend the agreements applicable to any outstanding Awards to
permit such


                                      -4-


transfers. Any Award not granted pursuant to any agreement expressly permitting
its transfer or amended expressly to permit its transfer shall not be
transferable.

     (f) Forfeiture of Awards. Except for an Award that becomes vested pursuant
to a Change in Control, as described in Section 9, the Board may immediately
forfeit an unvested Award if the holder competes with the Company or engages in
conduct that, in the opinion of the Board, adversely affects the Company.

     (g) Agreement. The specific terms of each Award shall be set forth in an
agreement signed by the Participant and an authorized representative of the
Company.

     (h) Acceptance of Awards. The acceptance of an Award by a Participant shall
be deemed to indicate the acceptance by the Participant and ratification of, and
consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Company or the Board.

SECTION 11.  AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN

     The Plan may be amended or discontinued by the Board from time to time,
provided that no such amendment or discontinuance of the Plan shall adversely
affect any Award theretofore granted without the consent of the holder thereof.
