Claims Procedure.

 
(a)
Any claim by a Participant or former Participant or Beneficiary (“Claimant”)
with respect to eligibility, participation, contributions, benefits or other
aspects of the operation of this Plan shall be made in writing to the Committee
for such purpose. The Committee shall provide the Claimant with the necessary
forms and make all determinations as to the right of any person to a disputed
benefit.  If a Claimant is denied benefits under this Plan, the Committee shall
notify the Claimant in writing of the denial of the claim within ninety (90)
days after the Committee receives the claim, provided that in the event of
special circumstances such period may be extended.  The ninety (90) day period
may be extended up to ninety (90) days (for a total of one hundred eighty (180)
days).

 
                   If the initial ninety (90) day period is extended, the
Committee shall notify the Claimant in writing within ninety (90) days of
receipt of the claim.  The written notice of extension shall indicate the
special circumstances requiring the extension of time and provide the date by
which the Committee expects to make a determination with respect to the
claim.  If the extension is required due to the Claimant’s failure to submit
information necessary to decide the claim, the period for making the
determination will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent
to the Claimant until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Claimant
responds to the Committee’s request for information; or (ii) expiration of the
forty-five (45) day period commencing on the date that the Claimant is notified
that the requested additional information must be provided. If notice of the
denial of a claim is not furnished within the required time period described
herein, the claim shall be deemed denied as of the last day of such period.

 
                   If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the notice to the
Claimant shall set forth:

   
(i)
The specific reason or reasons for the denial;

   
(ii)
Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial is based;

   
(iii)
A description of any additional material or information necessary for the
Claimant to complete the claim request and an explanation of why such material
or information is necessary;

limits if the Claimant wishes to submit the adverse determination for review;
and

   
(v)

of ERISA following an adverse determination on review.

 
(b)
If the claim has been wholly or partially denied, the Claimant may submit the
claim for review by the Committee.  Any request for review of a claim must be
made in writing to the Committee no later than sixty (60) days after the
Claimant receives notification of denial

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

   
or, if no notification was provided, the date the claim is deemed denied.  The
Claimant or his duly authorized representative may:

   
(i)
Upon request and free of charge, be provided with reasonable access to, and
copies of, relevant documents, records, and other information relevant to the
Claimant’s claim; and

   
(ii)
Submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to
the claim.  The review of the claim determination shall take into account all
comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant
relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted
or considered in the initial claim determination.

 
(c)
The decision of the Committee shall be made within sixty (60) days after receipt
of the Claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances (including,
without limitation, the need to hold a hearing) require an extension. In the
event of special circumstances, the sixty (60) day period may be extended for a
period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days.

 
                   If the initial sixty (60) day period is extended, the
Committee shall, within sixty (60) days of receipt of the claim for review,
notify the Claimant in writing.  The written notice of extension shall indicate
the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and provide the date
by which the Committee expects to make a determination with respect to the claim
upon review.  If the extension is required due to the Claimant’s failure to
submit information necessary to decide the claim, the period for making the
determination will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent
to the Claimant until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Claimant
responds to this Plan’s request for information; or (ii) expiration of the
forty-five (45) day period commencing on the date that the Claimant is notified
that the requested additional information must be provided. If notice of the
decision upon review is not furnished within the required time period described
herein, the claim on review shall be deemed denied as of the last day of such
period.

 
                   The Committee, in its sole discretion, may hold a hearing
regarding the claim and request that the Claimant attend.  If a hearing is held,
the Claimant shall be entitled to be represented by counsel.

 
(d)
The Committee’s decision upon review on the Claimant’s claim shall be

Plan provisions on which the determination is based;

 
8
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of ERISA.

 
(e)
The Committee shall have the full power and authority to interpret, construe and
administer this Plan in its sole discretion based on the provisions of this Plan
and to decide any questions and settle all controversies that may arise in
connection with this Plan.  Both the Committee’s and the Board’s interpretations
and construction thereof, and actions thereunder, made in the sole discretion of
the Committee and the Board, including any valuation of the Benefit, any
determination under this Section 6, or the amount of the payment to be made
hereunder, shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons for all
persons.  No member of the Board or Committee shall be liable to any person for
any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and
administration of this Plan.

 
(f)
No officer, member or former member of the Committee shall be liable for any
action or determination made with respect to this Plan or any benefit under
it.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law or the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company and to the extent not covered by
insurance, each officer, member or former member of the Committee shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense
(including reasonable fees of counsel) or liability (including any sum paid in
settlement of a claim), and advanced amounts necessary to pay the foregoing at
the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with this Plan, except to the extent arising out
of such officer’s, member’s or former member’s own fraud.  Such indemnification
shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification the officers, members or
former members may have as directors under applicable law or under the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company.

 
(g)
The claims procedures set forth in this section are intended to comply with
United States Department of Labor Regulation § 2560.503-1 and should be
construed in accordance with such regulation.  In no event shall it be
interpreted as expanding the rights of Claimants beyond what is required by
United States Department of Labor Regulation § 2560.503-1.  The Committee may at
any time alter the claims procedure set forth above, so long as the revised
claims procedure complies with ERISA, and the regulations issued thereunder.

 
(h)
A Claimant must fully exercise all appeal rights provided herein prior to
commencing a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

7.
Construction of Plan.

 
(a)
Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of
this Plan shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a
fiduciary relationship between any Employer and the Participants, their
Beneficiaries or any

 
9
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

   
other person.  Any funds which may be invested under the provisions of this Plan
shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general funds of the
applicable Employer and no person other than the applicable Employer shall by
virtue of the provisions of this Plan have any interest in such funds.  To the
extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from any Employer
under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
general creditor of the Employer.

 
(b)
Each Employer shall be liable for the obligations hereunder only with respect to
its own employees, and not with respect to the employees of any other
Employer.  If a Participant works for more than one Employer in the same
calendar year, then the contribution for the Participant hereunder for the
calendar year shall be allocated pro-rata to each such Employer in proportion to
the Participant’s Base Compensation payable by each Employer to the Participant
for the calendar year.

 
(c)
All expenses incurred in administering this Plan shall be paid by the Employers.

8.
Minors and Incompetents.  If the Committee shall find that any person to whom
payment is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of
illness or accident, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim
therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee or other
legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, parent, or brother or
sister, or to any person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for
such person otherwise entitled to payment, in such manner and proportions as the
Committee may determine it its sole discretion.  Any such payment shall be a
complete discharge of the liabilities of the Employer, the Committee and the
Board under this Plan.

9.
Limitation of Rights.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring
upon an Employee the right to continue in the employ of any Employer as an
executive or in any other capacity or to interfere with the Employer’s right to
discharge him or her at any time for any reason whatsoever.

10.
Payment Not Salary.  Any Benefit accrued or payable under this Plan shall not be
deemed salary or other compensation to the Employee for the purposes of
computing benefits to which he or she may be entitled under any pension plan or
other arrangement of any Employer for the benefit of its employees.

11.
Severability.  In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid
for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining
parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal
and invalid provision never existed.

12.
Withholding.  Each Employer shall have the right to make such provisions as it
deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any obligations it may have to
withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of
payments pursuant to this Plan.

13.
Assignment.  This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Employers, their successors and assigns and the Participants and their heirs,
executors, administrators and legal representatives.  In the event that any
Employer sells all or substantially all of the assets of its business and the
acquirer of such assets assumes the obligations hereunder, the Employer

 
10
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
shall be released from any liability imposed herein and shall have no obligation
to provide any benefits payable hereunder.

14.
Non-Alienation of Benefits.  The benefits accrued or payable under this Plan
shall not be subject to alienation, transfer, assignment, garnishment, execution
or levy of any kind, and any attempt to cause any benefits to be so subjected
shall not be recognized.

15.
Governing Law.  To the extent legally required, the Code and ERISA shall govern
this Plan and, if any provision hereof is in violation of any applicable
requirement thereof, the Company reserves the right to retroactively amend this
Plan to comply therewith.  To the extent not governed by the Code and ERISA,
this Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

16.
Amendment or Termination of Plan.  The Board or an authorized committee under
the Company’s Bylaws (including the Committee) may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, amend this Plan from time to time in any respect, prospectively or
retroactively, and may at any time terminate this Plan in its entirety.  Each
Employer may withdraw from this Plan at any time, in which case it shall be
deemed to maintain a separate plan for Participants who are its employees
identical to this Plan except that such Employer shall be deemed to be the
Company for all purposes.  Each Employer shall be liable for the vested
obligations hereunder with respect to its employees.  No amendment, termination
or withdrawal shall reduce or terminate the then vested benefit (as determined
pursuant to Section 4 of this Plan) of any Participant; provided that the
Company may amend this Plan at any time to comply with applicable law, including
Section 409A of the Code (to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code
and the guidance issued thereunder).

17.
Section 409A of the Code.  This Plan is intended to comply with, or be exempt
from, the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be
limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  The Company
does not guarantee, and nothing in this Plan is intended to provide a guarantee
of, any particular tax treatment with respect to payments or benefits under this
Plan, and the Company shall not be responsible for compliance with, or exemption
from, Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder.

18.
Non-Exclusivity.  The adoption of this Plan by an Employer shall not be
construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Employer to adopt such
other supplemental retirement income arrangements as it deems desirable, and
such arrangements may be either generally applicable or limited in application.

19.
Gender and Number.  Wherever used in this Plan, the masculine shall be deemed to
include the feminine and the singular shall be deemed to include the plural,
unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

20.
Headings and Captions.  The headings and captions herein are provided for
reference and convenience only.  They shall not be considered part of this Plan
and shall not be employed in the construction of this Plan.

beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13(d)-3 under the Exchange Act) of shares
of the Company having at least 35% of the total number of votes that may be cast
for the election of directors of the Company; (ii) the merger or other business
combination of the Company, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s

sale of assets, results in the sale of 40% or more of the total gross fair
market value of all of the assets of the Company (as determined in accordance
with Section 409A of the Code) immediately prior to such acquisition (a
“Transaction”), other than a Transaction involving only the Company and one or
more of its subsidiaries, or a Transaction immediately following which the
stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Transaction continue to
have a majority of the voting power in the resulting entity (excluding for this
purpose any stockholder owning directly or indirectly more than 10% of the

a majority of the board of directors of the Company or the board of directors of
any successor to the Company, provided that, any director who was not a director
as of the date hereof shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director if such
director was elected to the Board by, or on the recommendation of or with the
approval of, at least a majority of the directors who then qualified as
Incumbent Directors either actually or by prior operation of the foregoing

threatened election contest of the type contemplated by Regulation 14a-11
promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor provision.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Change of Control of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred for purposes of this Plan if, for purposes of Section 409A of the Code,
such event would not be considered to be a “change in control event” under
Section 409A of the Code.
