3. Participating Companies.

The Company's Canadian subsidiary or subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan subject to the termination of such participation by the Board of Directors or the Benefits Committee. Any Participating Company may, by appropriate action of its Board of Directors, terminate its participation in the Plan. Transfer of employment among the Company and Participating Companies (and among any
other parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company) shall not be considered a termination of employment hereunder.
2. Paragraph 4 is hereby amended in its entirety, effective January 1, 2000, to read as follows:
4. Eligibility. All employees of the Company and the Participating Companies who are employed by the Company or any Participating Company (including any predecessor entity) for the applicable "service period" (defined below in paragraph 4) as of the applicable "date of grant" (defined below in this paragraph 6) and who are customarily employed at least 20 hours per week and at least five months per year shall be eligible to participate in the Plan; provided, however, that no option shall be granted to an employee if such employee, immediately after the option is granted, owns stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Sections 423(b)(3) and 424(d) of the Code) ("Eligible Employee"). "Service period" means the period of service (including any authorized leave of absence meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.421-7(h)(2)) that an employee of the Company or a Participating Company must complete to be eligible to begin participating in the Plan. Prior to January 1, 2000, the applicable service period is 90 days. Effective January 1, 2000 the applicable service period is 60 days. Effective January 1, 2001 the applicable service period is 0 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any newly hired employee or group of employees, if designated by the Committee, shall be awarded credit for the applicable service period and shall become an Eligible Employee at such time as the other eligibility requirements of this paragraph 4 are satisfied for the applicable employee.
3. Paragraph 6(a) is hereby amended in its entirety, effective January 1, 2000, to read as follows:
6. Grant of Options. (a) General Statement; "Date of Grant"; "Option Period"; "Date Of Exercise". Upon the effective date of the Plan and continuing while the Plan remains in force, the Company shall offer options under the Plan to all Eligible Employees to purchase shares of Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, these options shall be granted on the first day of the first payroll period beginning on or after March 1, 1998 and July 1, 1998, and thereafter, on the first day of the first payroll period beginning on or after the first day of January and July of each subsequent year (each of which dates is herein referred to as a "date of grant"). The term of each option granted on the first day of the first payroll period beginning on or after March 1, 1998 shall be for a period of approximately four (4) months, ending on the last day of the last payroll period ending on or immediately after June 30, 1998, and the term of each option granted thereafter shall be for a period of approximately six (6) months ending on the last day of the payroll period ending on or immediately after June 30 or December 31 as the case may be, provided, however, that effective January 1, 2000 each option period shall consist of the approximately six (6)-month period ending on June 30 or December 31 (each such four (4)-month and six (6)-month period is herein referred to as an "option period"). The last day of each option period is herein referred to as a "date of exercise." The number of shares subject to each option shall be the quotient of the sum of the payroll deductions withheld on behalf of each participant in accordance with subparagraph 6(b) and the payments made by such participant pursuant to subparagraph 6(f) during the option period and any amount carried forward from the preceding option period pursuant to subparagraph 7(a), divided by the "option price" (defined in subparagraph 7(b)) of the Stock, excluding all fractions; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares that may be subject to any option may not exceed 700 (subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 12) and effective July 1, 2000 the maximum number of shares that may be subject to any option may not exceed 2,500 (subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 12).

(a) General Statement. Each Eligible Employee who is a participant in the Plan, automatically and without any act on his part, shall be deemed to have exercised his option on each date of exercise to the extent that the cash balance then in his account under the Plan is sufficient to purchase at the "option price" (as defined in subparagraph 7(b)) whole shares of Stock. Effective January 1, 2000, any balance remaining in his account after payment of the purchase price of those whole shares shall be returned to the Eligible Employee except to the extent that the remaining balance is insufficient to purchase a whole share of Stock under the Plan.
