ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

As used in this Plan, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings
set forth herein unless a different meaning is clearly required by the context:

1.1

"Account" means any separate notational account established and maintained by
the Administrator for each Participant under the Plan. To the extent applicable,
a Participant may have any (or all) of the following Accounts:

(a)

"Combined Account" means the account representing the Participant's total
interest under the Plan resulting from (a) the Employer's contributions in the
case of a Profit Sharing Plan or Money Purchase Plan, and (b) the Employer
Nonelective Contributions in the case of a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. Separate
accountings shall be maintained with respect to that portion of a Participant's
Account attributable to Employer contributions made pursuant to Section
12.1(a)(2) and to Employer contributions made pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(3).

(b)

"Elective Deferral Account" means the account established hereunder to which
Elective Deferrals (including a separate accounting for Catch-Up Contributions)
are allocated. Amounts in the Participant's Elective Deferral Account are
nonforfeitable when made and are subject to the distribution restrictions of
Section 12.2(d). For calendar years beginning after December 31, 2005, the
Elective Deferral Account may consist of the sub-Accounts listed below. Unless
specifically stated otherwise, any reference to a Participant's Elective
Deferral Account will refer to both of these sub-Accounts.

(1)

"Pre-Tax Elective Deferral Account" means the portion of the Elective Deferral
Account attributable to Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals (i.e., Elective Deferrals
that are not subject to Federal Income Tax at the time of their deferral to the
Plan).

(2)

"Roth Elective Deferral Account" means the portion of the Elective Deferral
Account attributable to Roth Elective Deferrals (i.e., that are subject to
Federal Income Tax at the time of their deferral).

(c)

"Qualified Matching Contribution Account" means the account established
hereunder to which Qualified Matching Contributions are allocated. Amounts in
the Qualified Matching Contribution Account are nonforfeitable when made and are
subject to the distribution restrictions of Section 12.2(d).

(d)

"Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account" means the account established
hereunder to which Qualified Nonelective Contributions are allocated. Amounts in
the Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account are nonforfeitable when made and
are subject to the distribution restrictions of Section 12.2(d).

(e)

"Qualified Voluntary Employee Contribution Account" means the account
established hereunder to which a Participant's tax-deductible qualified
voluntary employee contributions made pursuant to Section 4.9 are allocated.

(f)

"Rollover Account" means the account established hereunder to which amounts
transferred from another qualified plan or Individual Retirement Account in
accordance with Section 4.6 are allocated.

(g)

"Transfer Account" means the account established hereunder to which amounts
transferred to this Plan from a direct plan-to-plan transfer in accordance with
Section 4.7 are allocated.

(h)

"Voluntary Contribution Account" means the account established hereunder to
which after-tax voluntary Employee contributions made pursuant to Section 4.8
are allocated. Amounts recharacterized as after-tax voluntary Employee
contributions pursuant to Section 12.5 shall remain subject to the limitations
of Section 12.2. Therefore, a separate accounting shall be maintained with
respect to that portion of the Voluntary Contribution Account attributable to
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions made pursuant to Section 4.8.

1.2

"ACP" means the "Actual Contribution Percentage" determined pursuant to Section
12.6(d).

1.3

"Act" means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as it may be
amended from time to time.

1.4

"ADP" means the "Actual Deferral Percentage" determined pursuant to Section
12.4(d).

1.5

"Administrator" means the Employer unless another person or entity has been
designated by the Employer pursuant to Section 2.2 to administer the Plan on
behalf of the Employer. "Administrator" also includes any Qualified Termination
Administrator (QTA) that has assumed the responsibilities of the Administrator
in accordance with guidelines set forth by the Department of Labor.

1.6

"Adoption Agreement" means the separate agreement which is executed by the
Employer and sets forth the elective provisions of this Plan and Trust as
specified by the Employer.

1

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

1.7

"Affiliated Employer" means any corporation which is a member of a controlled
group of corporations (as defined in Code Section 414(b)) which includes the
Employer; any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) which is under
common control (as defined in Code Section 414(c)) with the Employer; any
organization (whether or not incorporated) which is a member of an affiliated
service group (as defined in Code Section 414(m)) which includes the Employer;
and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to
Regulations under Code Section 414(o).

1.8

"Anniversary Date" means the last day of the Plan Year.

1.9

"Annuity Starting Date" means, with respect to any Participant, the first day of
the first period for which an amount is paid as an annuity, or, in the case of a
benefit not payable in the form of an annuity, the first day on which all events
have occurred which entitles the Participant to such benefit.

1.10

"Beneficiary" means the person (or entity) to whom all or a portion of a
deceased Participant's interest in the Plan is payable, subject to the
restrictions of Sections 6.2 and 6.6.

1.11

"Catch-Up Contribution" means, effective for taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2001, an Elective Deferral made to the Plan by a Catch-Up Eligible
Participant that, during any taxable year of such Participant, exceeds one of
the following:

(a)

a statutory dollar limit on Elective Deferrals or "annual additions" as provided
in Code Sections 401(a)(30), 402(h), 403(b), 408, 415(c), or 457(b)(2) (without
regard to Code Section 457(b)(3)), as applicable;

(b)

any Plan limit on Elective Deferrals other than a limit described in (a) above;
or the limit imposed by the actual deferral percentage (ADP) test under Code
Section 401(k)(3) which Excess Contributions would otherwise be distributed
pursuant to Section 12.5(b) to a Highly Compensated Employee who is a Catch-Up
Eligible Participant.

Catch-Up Contributions for a Participant for a Participant's taxable year may
not exceed the dollar limit on Catch-Up Contributions under Code Section 414(v)
for the Participant's taxable year. The dollar limit on Catch-Up Contributions
under Code Section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) is $1,000 for taxable years beginning in
2002, increasing by $1,000 for each year thereafter up to $5,000 for taxable
years beginning in 2006 and later years. After 2006, the $5,000 limit will be
adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases under
Code Section 414(v)(2)(C). Any such adjustments shall be in multiples of $500.
Notwithstanding the preceding, different dollar limits apply to Catch-Up
Contributions under SIMPLE 401(k) plans.

1.12

"Catch-Up Eligible Participant" means, for any Participant's taxable year
beginning after December 31, 2001, a Participant who:

(a)

is eligible to make Elective Deferrals to the Plan pursuant to Section 12.2; and

(b)

will attain age 50 or older by the end of such taxable year.

1.13

"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time
to time.

1.14

"Compensation" means, with respect to any Participant and except as otherwise
provided below and in the Adoption Agreement,

(a)

one of the following as elected in the Adoption Agreement:

(1)

Information required to be reported under Code Sections 6041, 6051 and 6052
(Wages, tips and other compensation as reported on Form W-2). Compensation means
wages, within the meaning of Code Section 3401(a), and all other payments of
compensation to an Employee by the Employer (in the course of the Employer's
trade or business) for which the Employer is required to furnish the Employee a
written statement under Code Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052. Compensation
must be determined without regard to any rules under Code Section 3401(a) that
limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the
employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural
labor in Code Section 3401(a)(2)).

(2)

Code Section 3401(a) Wages. Compensation means an Employee's wages within the
meaning of Code Section 3401(a) for the purposes of income tax withholding at
the source but determined without regard to any rules that limit the
remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment
or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code
Section 3401(a)(2)).

2

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

(3)

415 safe harbor compensation. Compensation means wages, salaries, and fees for
professional services and other amounts received (without regard to whether or
not an amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered in the
course of employment with the Employer maintaining the Plan to the extent that
the amounts are includible in gross income (including, but not limited to,
commissions paid salespersons, compensation for services on the basis of a
percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe
benefits, and reimbursements, or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable
plan (as described in Regulation Section 1.62-2(c))), and excluding the
following:

(i)

Employer contributions to a plan of deferred compensation which are not
includible in the Employee's gross income for the taxable year in which
contributed, or Employer contributions under a simplified employee pension plan
to the extent such contributions are excludable from the Employee's gross
income, or any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation;

(ii)

Amounts realized from the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, or when
restricted stock (or property) held by the Employee either becomes freely
transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;

(iii)

Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired
under a qualified stock option; and

(iv)

Other amounts which receive special tax benefits, or contributions made by the
Employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) towards the
purchase of an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) (whether or not
the contributions are actually excludable from the gross income of the
Employee).

(b)

However, Compensation for any Self-Employed Individual shall be equal to Earned
Income. Furthermore, the contributions on behalf of any Owner-Employee shall be
made only with respect to the Earned Income for such Owner-Employee which is
derived from the trade or business with respect to which such Plan is
established.

(c)

Compensation shall include only that Compensation which is actually paid to the
Participant during the determination period. Except as otherwise provided in
this Plan, the determination period shall be the period elected by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement. If the Employer makes no election, the determination
period shall be the Plan Year.

(d)

Notwithstanding the above, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, Compensation
shall include all of the following types of elective contributions and all of
the following types of deferred compensation:

(1)

Elective contributions that are made by the Employer on behalf of a Participant
that are not includible in gross income under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3),
402(h)(1)(B), 403(b), and 132(f)(4). If specified in Appendix A to the Adoption
Agreement (Other Permitted Elections), amounts under Code Section 125 shall be
deemed to include any amounts not available to a Participant in cash in lieu of
group health coverage because the Participant is unable to certify that he or
she has other health coverage. An amount will be treated as an amount under Code
Section 125 pursuant to the preceding sentence only if the Employer does not
request or collect information regarding the Participant's other health coverage
as part of the enrollment process for the health plan.

(2)

Compensation deferred under an eligible deferred compensation plan within the
meaning of Code Section 457(b); and

(3)

Employee contributions (under governmental plans) described in Code Section
414(h)(2) that are picked up by the employing unit and thus are treated as
Employer contributions.

(e)

If the Employer elects, in Appendix A to the Adoption Agreement (Other Permitted
Elections), to apply the post-severance compensation provisions of the proposed
Code Section 415 Regulations, then Compensation will include payments made
within 2 1/2 months after severance from employment (within the meaning of Code
Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I)) if they are payments that, absent a severance from
employment, would have been paid to the Employee while the Employee continued in
employment with the Employer and are regular compensation for services during
the Employee's regular working hours, compensation for services outside the
Employee's regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential),
commissions, bonuses, or other similar compensation, and payments for accrued
bona fide sick, vacation or other leave, but only if the Employee would have
been able to use the leave if employment had continued. Any payments not
described above are not considered Compensation if paid after severance from
employment, even if they are paid within 2 1/2 months following severance from
employment, except for payments to an individual who does not currently perform
services for the Employer by reason of qualified military service (within the
meaning of Code Section 414(u)(1)) to the extent these payments do not exceed
the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued
to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military
service.

(f)

For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, Compensation in excess of
$200,000 shall be disregarded for all purposes, except that for purposes of
salary deferral elections, the Administrator is not required to disregard
Compensation in excess of $200,000. Such amount shall be adjusted by the
Commissioner for increases in the cost-of-living in accordance with Code Section
401(a)(17)(B). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year
applies to any determination period beginning with or within such calendar year.
If a determination period consists of fewer than twelve (12) months, the
$200,000 annual Compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of months in the determination period, and the
denominator of which is twelve (12).

(g)

If, in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer elects to exclude a class of
Employees from the Plan, then Compensation for any Employee who becomes eligible
or ceases to be eligible to participate during a determination period shall only
include

3

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

Compensation while the Employee is an Eligible Employee.

(h)

If, in connection with the adoption of any amendment, the definition of
Compensation has been modified, then, except as otherwise provided herein, for
Plan Years prior to the Plan Year which includes the adoption date of such
amendment, Compensation means compensation determined pursuant to the terms of
the Plan then in effect.

1.15

"Contract" or "Policy" means any life insurance policy, retirement income
policy, or annuity contract (group or individual) issued by the Insurer. In the
event of any conflict between the terms of this Plan and the terms of any
contract purchased hereunder, the Plan provisions shall control.

1.16

"Custodian" means a person or entity that has custody of all or any portion of
the Plan assets.

1.17

"Designated Investment Alternative" means a specific investment identified by
name by the Employer (or such other Fiduciary who has been given the authority
to select investment options) as an available investment under the Plan to which
Plan assets may be invested by the Trustee (or Insurer) pursuant to the
investment direction of a Participant.

1.18

"Directed Investment Option" means a Designated Investment Alternative and any
other investment permitted by the Plan and the Participant Direction Procedures
to which Plan assets may be invested pursuant to the investment direction of a
Participant.

1.19

"Directed Trustee" means a Trustee who, with respect to the investment of Plan
assets, is subject to the direction of the Plan Administrator, the Employer, a
properly appointed Investment Manager, a named Fiduciary, or Plan Participant.
To the extent the Trustee is a Directed Trustee, the Trustee does not have any
discretionary authority with respect to the investment of Plan assets. In
addition, the Trustee is not responsible for the propriety of any directed
investment made pursuant to this Section and shall not be required to consult or
advise the Employer regarding the investment quality of any directed investment
held under the Plan.

1.20

"Discretionary Trustee" means a Trustee who has the authority and discretion to
invest, manage or control any portion of the Plan assets without direction from
any person or entity.

1.21

"Early Retirement Date" means the date specified in the Adoption Agreement on
which a Participant has satisfied the requirements specified in the Adoption
Agreement (Early Retirement Age). If elected in the Adoption Agreement, a
Participant shall become fully Vested upon satisfying such requirements if the
Participant is still employed at the Early Retirement Age.

A Participant who separates from service after satisfying any service
requirement but before satisfying the age requirement for Early Retirement Age
and who thereafter reaches the age requirement contained herein shall be
entitled to receive benefits under this Plan (other than any accelerated vesting
and allocations of Employer contributions) as though the requirements for Early
Retirement Age had been satisfied.

1.22

"Earned Income" means the net earnings from self-employment in the trade or
business with respect to which the Plan is established, for which the personal
services of the individual are a material income-producing factor. Net earnings
will be determined without regard to items not included in gross income and the
deductions allocable to such items. Net earnings are reduced by contributions
made by the Employer to a qualified plan to the extent deductible under Code
Section 404. In addition, net earnings shall be determined with regard to the
deduction allowed to the taxpayer by Code Section 164(f).

If Compensation is defined to exclude any items of Compensation (other than
Elective Deferrals), then for purposes of determining the Compensation of a
Self-Employed Individual, Earned Income shall be adjusted by multiplying Earned
Income by the percentage of total Compensation that is included for the Eligible
Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees. The percentage is
determined by calculating the percentage of each Nonhighly Compensated Eligible
Participant's total Compensation prior to excluding any items selected in the
Adjustments to Compensation Section of the Adoption Agreement that is included
in the definition of Compensation and averaging those percentages.

1.23

"Effective Date" means the date this Plan, including any restatement or
amendment of this Plan, is effective. Where the Plan is restated or amended, a
reference to Effective Date is the effective date of the restatement or
amendment, except where the context indicates a reference to an earlier
Effective Date. If this Plan is retroactively effective, the provisions of this
Plan generally control. However, if the provisions of this Plan are different
from the provisions of the Employer's prior plan document and, after the
retroactive Effective Date of this Plan, the Employer operated in compliance
with the provisions of the prior plan, the provisions of such prior plan are
incorporated into this Plan for purposes of determining whether the Employer
operated the Plan in compliance with its terms, provided operation in compliance
with the terms of the prior plan do not violate any qualification requirements
under the Code, Regulations, or other IRS guidance.

The Employer may designate special effective dates for individual provisions
under the Plan where provided in the Adoption Agreement or under Appendix A to
the Adoption Agreement (Other Permitted Elections). If one or more qualified
retirement plans have been merged into this Plan, the provisions of the merging
plan(s) will remain in full force and effect until the effective date of the
plan merger(s).

4

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

1.24

"Elective Deferrals" means the Employer's contributions to the Plan that are
made pursuant to a Participant's deferral election pursuant to Section 12.2,
excluding any such amounts distributed as "excess annual additions" pursuant to
Section 4.5. Elective Deferrals shall be subject to the requirements of Sections
12.2(c) and 12.2(d) and shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be required
to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of the Code Section 401(k)
Regulations. For calendar years beginning after December 31, 2005, the term
"Elective Deferrals" includes Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals and Roth Elective
Deferrals.

1.25

"Eligible Employee" means any Eligible Employee as elected in the Adoption
Agreement and as provided herein. .An individual shall not be an Eligible
Employee if such individual is not reported on the payroll records of the
Employer as a common law employee. In particular, it is expressly intended that
individuals not treated as common law employees by the Employer on its payroll
records and out-sourced workers, are not Eligible Employees and are excluded
from Plan participation even if a court or administrative agency determines that
such individuals are common law employees and not independent contractors.
However, the two preceding sentences shall not apply to partners or other
Self-Employed Individuals unless the Employer treats them as independent
contractors. Furthermore, Employees of an Affiliated Employer will not be
treated as Eligible Employees prior to the date the Affiliated Employer adopts
the Plan as a Participating Employer.

Employees who became Employees as the result of a "Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)
transaction" will, unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, only be
Eligible Employees after the expiration of the transition period beginning on
the date of the transaction and ending on the last day of the first Plan Year
beginning after the date of the transaction. A Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)
transaction is an asset or stock acquisition, merger, or similar transaction
involving a change in the Employer of the Employees of a trade or business that
is subject to the special rules set forth in Code Section 410(b)(6)(C). However,
regardless of any election made in the Adoption Agreement, if a separate entity
becomes an Affiliated Employer as the result of a Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)
transaction, then Employees of such separate entity will not be treated as
Eligible Employees prior to the date the entity adopts the Plan as a
Participating Employer.

If, in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer elects to exclude union employees,
then Employees whose employment is governed by a collective bargaining agreement
between the Employer and "employee representatives" under which retirement
benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining and if two percent (2%) or
less of the Employees covered pursuant to that agreement are professionals as
defined in Regulation Section 1.410(b)-9, shall not be eligible to participate
in this Plan to the extent of employment covered by such agreement. For this
purpose, the term "employee representatives" does not include any organization
more than half of whose members are employees who are owners, officers, or
executives of the Employer.

If, in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer elects to exclude nonresident
aliens, then Employees who are nonresident aliens (within the meaning of Code
Section 7701(b)(1)(B)) who received no earned income (within the meaning of Code
Section 911(d)(2)) from the Employer which constitutes income from sources
within the United States (within the meaning of Code Section 861(a)(3)) shall
not be eligible to participate in this Plan. In addition, this paragraph shall
also apply to exclude from participation in the Plan an Employee who is a
nonresident alien (within the meaning of Code Section 7701(b)(1)(B)) but who
receives earned income (within the meaning of Code Section 911(d)(2)) from the
Employer that constitutes income from sources within the United States (within
the meaning of Code Section 861(a)(3)), if all of the Employee's earned income
from the Employer from sources within the United States is exempt from United
States income tax under an applicable income tax convention. The preceding
sentence will apply only if all Employees described in the preceding sentence
are excluded from the Plan.

If, in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer elects to exclude
Part-Time/Temporary/Seasonal Employees, then notwithstanding any such exclusion,
if any such excluded Employee actually completes a Year of Service (or Period of
Service if the Elapsed Time method is selected), then such Employee will enter
the Plan on the next entry date following completion of the Year of Service (or,
if applicable, Period of Service), provided the Employee is employed by the
Employer on that entry date.

1.26

"Employee" means any person who is employed by the Employer. The term "Employee"
shall also include any person who is an employee of an Affiliated Employer and
any Leased Employee deemed to be an Employee as provided in Code Section 414(n)
or (o).

1.27

"Employer" means the entity specified in the Adoption Agreement, any successor
which shall maintain this Plan and any predecessor which has maintained this
Plan. In addition, unless the context means otherwise, the term "Employer" shall
include any Participating Employer which shall adopt this Plan.

1.28

"Excess Aggregate Contributions" means, with respect to any Plan Year, the
excess of:

(a)

The aggregate "contribution percentage amounts" (as defined in Section 12.6)
actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Participants for such Plan Year
and taken into account in computing the numerator of the ACP, over

(b)

The maximum "contribution percentage amounts" permitted by the ACP test in
Section 12.6 (determined by hypothetically reducing contributions made on behalf
of Highly Compensated Participants in order of their "contribution percentages"
beginning with the highest of such percentages).

Such determination shall be made after first taking into account corrections of
any Excess Deferrals pursuant to Section 12.2 and then taking into account
adjustments of any Excess Contributions pursuant to Section 12.5.

5

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

1.29

"Excess Compensation" means, with respect to a Plan that is integrated with
Social Security (permitted disparity), a Participant's Compensation which is in
excess of the integration level elected in the Adoption Agreement. However, if
Compensation is based on less than a twelve (12) month determination period,
Excess Compensation shall be determined by reducing the integration level by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the short
period and the denominator of which is twelve (12). A determination period is
not less than twelve (12) months solely because a Participant's Compensation
does not include Compensation paid during a determination period while the
Participant was not a Participant in this component of the Plan.

1.30

"Excess Contributions" means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of:

(a)

The aggregate amount of Employer contributions actually made on behalf of Highly
Compensated Participants for such Plan Year and taken into account in computing
the numerator of the ADP, over

(b)

The maximum amount of such contributions permitted by the ADP test in Section
12.4 (determined by hypothetically reducing contributions made on behalf of
Highly Compensated Participants in order of the actual deferral ratios,
beginning with the highest of such ratios).

In determining the amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed and/or
recharacterized with respect to an affected Highly Compensated Participant as
determined herein, such amount shall be reduced by any Excess Deferrals
previously distributed to such affected Highly Compensated Participant for the
Participant's taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year.

1.31

"Excess Deferrals" means, with respect to any taxable year of a Participant,
either (1) those elective deferrals within the meaning of Code Sections 402(g)
or 402A that are made during the Participant's taxable year and exceed the
dollar limitation under Code Section 402(g) (including, if applicable, the
dollar limitation on Catch-Up Contributions defined in Code Section 414(v)) for
such year; or (2) are made during a calendar year and exceed the dollar
limitation under Code Sections 402(g) and 402A (including, if applicable, the
dollar limitation on Catch-Up Contributions defined in Code Section 414(v)) for
the Participant's taxable year beginning in such calendar year, counting only
Elective Deferrals made under this Plan and any other plan, contract or
arrangement maintained by the Employer.

1.32

"Fiduciary" means any person who (a) exercises any discretionary authority or
discretionary control respecting management of the Plan or exercises any
authority or control respecting management or disposition of its assets, (b)
renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation, direct or indirect,
with respect to any monies or other property of the Plan or has any authority or
responsibility to do so, or (c) has any discretionary authority or discretionary
responsibility in the administration of the Plan.

1.33

"Fiscal Year" means the Employer's accounting year.

1.34

"Forfeiture" means that portion of a Participant's Account that is not Vested
and is disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Unless
otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, Forfeitures occur pursuant to (a)
below.

(a)

A Forfeiture will occur on the earlier of:

(1)

The last day of the Plan Year in which a Participant incurs five (5) consecutive
1-Year Breaks in Service, or

(2)

The distribution of the entire Vested portion of the Participant's Account of a
Participant who has severed employment with the Employer. For purposes of this
provision, if the Participant has a Vested benefit of zero, then such
Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such Vested
benefit as of the year in which the severance of employment occurs. For this
purpose, a Participant's Vested benefit shall not include: (1) the Participant's
Qualified Voluntary Contribution Account, and (2) the Participant's Rollover
Account.

(b)

If elected in the Adoption Agreement, a Forfeiture will occur as of the last day
of the Plan Year in which a Participant incurs five (5) consecutive 1-Year
Breaks in Service.

Regardless of the preceding, if a Participant is eligible to share in the
allocation of Forfeitures in the year in which the Forfeiture would otherwise
occur, then the Forfeiture will not occur until the end of the first Plan Year
for which the Participant is not eligible to share in the allocation of
Forfeitures. Furthermore, the term "Forfeiture" shall also include amounts
deemed to be Forfeitures pursuant to any other provision of this Plan.

1.35

"Former Employee" means an individual who has severed employment with the
Employer or an Affiliated Employer.

1.36

"414(s) Compensation" means Compensation as defined in Section 1.14. However,
the Employer may operationally elect to use any other definition of compensation
for 414(s) Compensation provided such definition satisfies the nondiscrimination
requirements of Code Section 414(s) and the Regulations thereunder. The period
for determining 414(s) Compensation must be either the Plan Year or the calendar
year ending with or within the Plan Year. An Employer may further limit the
period taken into account to that part of the Plan Year or calendar year in
which an Employee was a Participant in the component of the Plan being tested.
The period used to determine 414(s) Compensation must be applied uniformly to
all Participants for the Plan Year.

6

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

1.37

"415 Compensation" means, with respect to any Participant, such Participant's
(a) Wages, tips and other compensation on Form W-2, (b) Section 3401(a) wages or
(c) 415 safe harbor compensation as elected in the Adoption Agreement for
purposes of Compensation. 415 Compensation shall be based on the full Limitation
Year regardless of when participation in the Plan commences. Furthermore,
regardless of any election made in the Adoption Agreement, 415 Compensation
shall include any elective deferral (as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3)) and
any amount which is contributed or deferred by the Employer at the election of
the Participant and which is not includible in the gross income of the
Participant by reason of Code Sections 125, 457, and 132(f)(4).

If elected in Appendix A to the Adoption Agreement (Other Permitted Elections),
amounts under Code Section 125 shall be deemed to include any amounts not
available to a Participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the
Participant is unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage. An
amount will be treated as an amount under Code Section 125 pursuant to the
preceding sentence only if the Employer does not request or collect information
regarding the Participant's other health coverage as part of the enrollment
process for the health plan.

For Limitation Years beginning in and after the year specified in Appendix A to
the Adoption Agreement (but in no event earlier than the Limitation Year
beginning in 2005), payments made within 2 1/2 months after severance from
employment (within the meaning of Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I)) will be
compensation within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3) if they are payments
that, absent a severance from employment, would have been paid to the Employee
while the Employee continued in employment with the Employer and are regular
compensation for services during the Employee's regular working hours,
compensation for services outside the Employee's regular working hours (such as
overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar
compensation, and payments for accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave,
but only if the Employee would have been able to use the leave if employment had
continued. Any payments not described above are not considered compensation if
paid after severance from employment, even if they are paid within 2 1/2 months
following severance from employment, except for payments to an individual who
does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of qualified
military service (within the meaning of Code Section 414(u)(1)) to the extent
these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if
the individual had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than
entering qualified military service.

415 Compensation will be limited to the same dollar limitations set forth in
Section 1.14 adjusted in such manner as permitted under Code Section 415(d).

Except as otherwise provided herein, if, in connection with the adoption of any
amendment, the definition of 415 Compensation has been modified, then for Plan
Years prior to the Plan Year which includes the adoption date of such amendment,
415 Compensation means compensation determined pursuant to the terms of the Plan
then in effect.

1.38

"Highly Compensated Employee" means an Employee described in Code Section 414(q)
and the Regulations thereunder, and generally means any Employee who:

(a)

was a "five percent (5%) owner" as defined in Section 1.44(b) at any time during
the "determination year" or the "look-back year"; or

(b)

for the "look-back year" had 415 Compensation from the Employer in excess of
$80,000 and, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, was in the Top-Paid Group for
the "look-back year." The $80,000 amount is adjusted at the same time and in the
same manner as under Code Section 415(d).

The "determination year" means the Plan Year for which testing is being
performed and the "look-back year" means the immediately preceding twelve (12)
month period. However, if the calendar year data election is made in the
Adoption Agreement, for purposes of (b) above, the "look-back year" shall be the
calendar year beginning within the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the "determination year."

The Top-Paid Group election may be made at any time up to the date the
applicable test for which the term is being used must be performed (including
any statutory or regulatory provision for the correction of a failure of such
test).

A Highly Compensated Former Employee is based on the rules applicable to
determining highly compensated employee status as in effect for that
"determination year," in accordance with Regulation Section 1.414(q)-1T, A-4 and
IRS Notice 97-45 (or any superseding guidance).

In determining who is a Highly Compensated Employee, Employees who are
nonresident aliens and who received no earned income (within the meaning of Code
Section 911(d)) from the Employer constituting United States source income
within the meaning of Code Section 861(a)(3) shall not be treated as Employees.
If a nonresident alien Employee has U.S. source income, that Employee is treated
as satisfying this definition if all of such Employee's U.S. source income from
the Employer is exempt from U.S. income tax under an applicable income tax
treaty. Additionally, all Affiliated Employers shall be taken into account as a
single employer and Leased Employees within the meaning of Code Sections
414(n)(2) and 414(o)(2) shall be considered Employees unless such Leased
Employees are covered by a plan described in Code Section 414(n)(5) and are not
covered in any qualified plan maintained by the Employer. The exclusion of
Leased Employees for this purpose shall be applied on a uniform and consistent
basis for all of the Employer's retirement plans. Highly Compensated Former
Employees shall be treated as Highly Compensated Employees without regard to
whether they performed services during the "determination year."

7

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

1.39

"Highly Compensated Participant" means any Highly Compensated Employee who is
eligible to participate in the component of the Plan being tested.

1.40

"Hour of Service" means (1) each hour for which an Employee is directly or
indirectly compensated or entitled to Compensation by the Employer for the
performance of duties during the applicable computation period (these hours will
be credited to the Employee for the computation period in which the duties are
performed); (2) each hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly
compensated or entitled to Compensation by the Employer (irrespective of whether
the employment relationship has terminated) for reasons other than performance
of duties (such as vacation, holidays, sickness, incapacity (including
disability), jury duty, lay-off, military duty or leave of absence) during the
applicable computation period (these hours will be calculated and credited
pursuant to Department of Labor regulation Section 2530.200b-2 which is
incorporated herein by reference); (3) each hour for which back pay is awarded
or agreed to by the Employer without regard to mitigation of damages (these
hours will be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods to
which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in
which the award, agreement or payment is made). The same Hours of Service shall
not be credited both under (1) or (2), as the case may be, and under (3).

Notwithstanding (2) above, (i) no more than 501 Hours of Service are required to
be credited to an Employee on account of any single continuous period during
which the Employee performs no duties (whether or not such period occurs in a
single computation period); (ii) an hour for which an Employee is directly or
indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period during which no
duties are performed is not required to be credited to the Employee if such
payment is made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of
complying with applicable workers' compensation, or unemployment compensation or
disability insurance laws; and (iii) Hours of Service are not required to be
credited for a payment which solely reimburses an Employee for medical or
medically related expenses incurred by the Employee. Furthermore, for purposes
of (2) above, a payment shall be deemed to be made by or due from the Employer
regardless of whether such payment is made by or due from the Employer directly,
or indirectly through, among others, a trust fund, or insurer, to which the
Employer contributes or pays premiums and regardless of whether contributions
made or due to the trust fund, insurer, or other entity are for the benefit of
particular Employees or are on behalf of a group of Employees in the aggregate.

Hours of Service will be credited for employment with all Affiliated Employers
and for any individual considered to be a Leased Employee pursuant to Code
Section 414(n) or 414(o) and the Regulations thereunder. Furthermore, the
provisions of Department of Labor regulations Section 2530.200b-2(b) and (c) are
incorporated herein by reference.

Hours of Service will be determined on the basis of the following method as
elected in the Adoption Agreement:

If the days worked method is elected, an Employee will be credited with ten (10)
Hours of Service if under the Plan such Employee would be credited with at least
one (1) Hour of Service during the day.

If the weeks worked method is elected an Employee will be credited with
forty-five (45) Hours of Service if under the Plan such Employee would be
credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service during the week.

If the semi-monthly payroll periods worked method is elected, an Employee will
be credited with ninety-five (95) Hours of Service if under the Plan such
Employee would be credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service during the
semi-monthly payroll period.

If the months worked method is elected, an Employee will be credited with one
hundred ninety (190) Hours of Service if under the Plan such Employee would be
credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service during the month.

If the bi-weekly payroll periods worked method is elected, an Employee will be
credited with ninety (90) Hours of Service if under the Plan such Employee would
be credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service during the bi-weekly payroll
period.

If the actual hours method is elected, an Employee is credited with the actual
Hours of Service the Employee completes with the Employer or the number of Hours
of Service for which the Employee is paid (or entitled to payment).

1.41

"Insurer" means any legal reserve insurance company which has issued or shall
issue one or more Contracts or Policies under the Plan.

which is not less than fifty percent (50%), nor more than one hundred percent
(100%) of the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the

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

1.44

"Key Employee" means, effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31,
2001, an Employee as defined in Code Section 416(i) and the Regulations
thereunder. Generally, any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased
employee as well as each of the Employee's or former Employee's Beneficiaries)
is considered a Key Employee if the Employee or former Employee, at any time
during the Plan Year that contains the "determination date," has been included
in one of the following categories:

(a)

an officer of the Employer (as that term is defined within the meaning of the
Regulations under Code Section 416) having annual 415 Compensation greater than
$130,000 (as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning
after December 31, 2002);

(b)

a "five percent (5%) owner" of the Employer. "Five percent (5%) owner" means any
person who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section
318) more than five percent (5%) of the value of the outstanding stock of the
Employer or stock possessing more than five percent (5%) of the total combined
voting power of all stock of the Employer or, in the case of an unincorporated
business, any person who owns more than five percent (5%) of the capital or
profits interest in the Employer; and

(c)

a "one percent (1%) owner" of the Employer having annual 415 Compensation from
the Employer of more than $150,000. "One percent (1%) owner" means any person
who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318)
more than one percent (1%) of the value of the outstanding stock of the Employer
or stock possessing more than one percent (1%) of the total combined voting
power of all stock of the Employer or, in the case of an unincorporated
business, any person who owns more than one percent (1%) of the capital or
profits interest in the Employer.

In determining percentage ownership hereunder, employers that would otherwise be
aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) shall be treated as
separate employers. In determining whether an individual has 415 Compensation of
more than $150,000, 415 Compensation from each employer required to be
aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) shall be taken into
account.

1.45

"Late Retirement Date" means the date of, or the first day of the month or the

Participant's actual retirement after having reached the Normal Retirement Date.

1.46

"Leased Employee" means any person (other than an Employee of the recipient
Employer) who, pursuant to an agreement between the recipient Employer and any
other person or entity ("leasing organization"), has performed services for the
recipient (or for the recipient and related persons determined in accordance
with Code Section 414(n)(6)) on a substantially full time basis for a period of
at least one year, and such services are performed under primary direction or
control by the recipient Employer. Contributions or benefits provided a Leased
Employee by the leasing organization which are attributable to services
performed for the recipient Employer shall be treated as provided by the
recipient Employer. Furthermore, Compensation for a Leased Employee shall only
include Compensation from the leasing organization that is attributable to
services performed for the recipient Employer.

A Leased Employee shall not be considered an employee of the recipient Employer
if: (a) such employee is covered by a money purchase pension plan providing: (1)
a non-integrated employer contribution rate of at least ten percent (10%) of
compensation, as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3), (2) immediate participation,
and (3) full and immediate vesting; and (b) leased employees do not constitute
more than twenty percent (20%) of the recipient Employer's nonhighly compensated
workforce.

1.47

"Limitation Year" means the determination period used to determine Compensation.
However, the Employer may elect a different Limitation Year in the Adoption
Agreement. All qualified plans maintained by the Employer must use the same
Limitation Year. Furthermore, unless there is a change to a new Limitation Year,
the Limitation Year will be a twelve (12) consecutive month period. In the case
of an initial Limitation Year, the Limitation Year will be the twelve (12)
consecutive month period ending on the last day of the period specified in the
Adoption Agreement. If the Limitation Year is amended to a different twelve (12)
consecutive month period, the new "Limitation Year" must begin on a date within
the "Limitation Year" in which the amendment is made.

1.48

"Net Profit" means, with respect to any Fiscal Year, the Employer's net income
or profit for such Fiscal Year determined upon the basis of the Employer's books
of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, without

1.49

"Nonelective Contribution" means the Employer's contributions to the Plan other

Qualified Matching Contributions. Employer matching contributions which are not
Qualified Matching Contributions shall be considered a Nonelective Contribution
for purposes of the Plan.

1.50

"Nonhighly Compensated Employee/Participant" means any Employee/Participant who
is not a Highly Compensated Employee. However, if pursuant to Sections 12.4 or
12.6 the prior year testing method is used to calculate the ADP or the ACP, a
Nonhighly Compensated Employee/Participant shall be determined using the
definition of Highly Compensated Employee in effect for the preceding Plan Year.

1.51

"Non-Key Employee" means any Employee or former Employee (and such Employee's or
former Employee's Beneficiaries) who is not a Key Employee.

9

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

1.52

"Normal Retirement Age" means the age elected in the Adoption Agreement at which
time a Participant's Account shall be nonforfeitable (if the Participant is
employed by the Employer on or after that date). However, solely for purposes of
nondiscrimination testing under Code Section 401(a)(4), the Employer may deem
the social security retirement age (as defined in Code Section 415(b)(8)) as the
Normal Retirement Age.

1.53

"Normal Retirement Date" means the date elected in the Adoption Agreement.

1.54

"1-Year Break in Service" means, if the Hour of Service method is elected in the
Adoption Agreement, the applicable computation period during which an Employee
or former Employee has not completed more than 500 Hours of Service. However, if
the Employer selected, in the Service Crediting Method Section of the Adoption
Agreement, to define a Year of Service as less than 1,000 Hours of Service, then
the 500 Hours of Service in this definition of 1-Year Break in Service shall be
proportionately reduced. Further, solely for the purpose of determining whether
an Employee has incurred a 1-Year Break in Service, Hours of Service shall be
recognized for "authorized leaves of absence" and "maternity and paternity
leaves of absence." For this purpose, Hours of Service shall be credited for the
computation period in which the absence from work begins, only if credit
therefore is necessary to prevent the Employee from incurring a 1-Year Break in
Service, or, in any other case, in the immediately following computation period.
The Hours of Service credited for a "maternity or paternity leave of absence"
shall be those which would normally have been credited but for such absence, or,
in any case in which the Administrator is unable to determine such hours
normally credited, eight (8) Hours of Service per day. The total Hours of
Service required to be credited for a "maternity or paternity leave of absence"
shall not exceed the number of Hours of Service needed to prevent the Employee
from incurring a 1-Year Break in Service.

"Authorized leave of absence" means an unpaid, temporary cessation from active
employment with the Employer pursuant to an established nondiscriminatory
policy, whether occasioned by illness, military service, or any other reason.

A "maternity or paternity leave of absence" means an absence from work for any
period by reason of the Employee's pregnancy, birth of the Employee's child,
placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such
child, or any absence for the purpose of caring for such child for a period
immediately following such birth or placement.

If the Elapsed Time method is elected in the Service Crediting Section of the
Adoption Agreement, then a "1-Year Break in Service" means a twelve (12)
consecutive month period beginning on the severance from service date or any
anniversary thereof and ending on the next succeeding anniversary of such date;
provided, however, that the Employee or former Employee does not perform an Hour
of Service for the Employer during such twelve (12) consecutive month period.

1.55

"Owner-Employee" means a sole proprietor who owns the entire interest in the
Employer or a partner (or member in the case of a limited liability company
treated as a partnership or sole proprietorship for federal income tax purposes)
who owns more than ten percent (10%) of either the capital interest or the
profits interest in the Employer and who receives income for personal services
from the Employer.

1.56

"Participant" means any Employee or Former Employee who has satisfied the
requirements of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and entered the Plan and is eligible to
accrue benefits under the Plan. In addition, the term "Participant" also
includes any individual who was a Participant (as defined in the preceding
sentence) and who must continue to be taken into account under a particular
provision of the Plan (e.g., because the Participant has an Account balance in
the Plan).

1.57

"Participant Directed Account" means that portion of a Participant's interest in
the Plan with respect to which the Participant has directed the investment in
accordance with the Participant Direction Procedures.

1.58

"Participant Direction Procedures" means such instructions, guidelines or
policies, the terms of which are incorporated herein, as shall be established
pursuant to Section 4.10 and observed by the Administrator and applied and
provided to Participants who have Participant Directed Accounts.

1.59

"Participating Employer" means an Employer who adopts the Plan pursuant to
Sections 11.1 or 14.1.

1.60

"Period of Service" means every twelve (12) month period commencing with an
Employee's first day of employment or reemployment with the Employer or an
Affiliated Employer and ending on the first day of a Period of Severance. The
first day of employment or reemployment is the first day the Employee performs
an Hour of Service. An Employee will also receive partial credit for any Period
of Severance of less than twelve (12) consecutive months. Fractional periods of
a year will be expressed in terms of days.

Periods of Service with any Affiliated Employer shall be recognized.
Furthermore, Periods of Service with any predecessor employer that maintained
this Plan shall be recognized. Periods of Service with any other predecessor
employer shall be recognized as elected in the Adoption Agreement.

In determining Periods of Service for purposes of vesting under the Plan,
Periods of Service will be excluded as elected in the Adoption Agreement and as
specified in Section 3.5.

10

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

In the event the method of crediting service is amended from the Hour of Service
method to the Elapsed Time method, an Employee will receive credit for a Period
of Service consisting of:

(a)

In addition, if ninety percent (90%) or more of the Employees of the Employer

months, herein set forth, and during which an Employee has completed at least
1,000 Hours of Service (unless a lower number of Hours of Service is specified
in the Adoption Agreement).

For purposes of eligibility for participation, the initial computation period
shall begin with the date on which the Employee first performs an Hour of
Service (employment commencement date). Unless otherwise elected in the Service
Crediting Method Section of the Adoption Agreement, the succeeding computation
periods shall begin on the anniversary of the Employee's employment commencement
date. However, unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, if one (1)
Year of Service or less is required as a condition of eligibility, then the
computation period after the initial computation period shall shift to the
current Plan Year which includes the anniversary of the date on which the
Employee first performed an Hour of Service, and subsequent computation periods
shall be the Plan Year. If there is a shift to the Plan Year, an Employee who is
credited with the number of Hours of Service to be credited with a Year of
Service in both the initial eligibility computation period and the first Plan
Year which commences prior to the first anniversary of the Employee's initial
eligibility computation period will be credited with two (2) Years of Service
for purposes of eligibility to participate.

If two (2) Years of Service are required as a condition of eligibility, a
Participant will only have completed two (2) Years of Service for eligibility
purposes upon completing two (2) consecutive Years of Service without an
intervening 1-Year Break in Service.

For vesting purposes, and all other purposes not specifically addressed in this
Section, the computation period shall be the period elected in the Service
Crediting Method Section of the Adoption Agreement. If no election is made in
the Service Crediting Method Section of the Adoption Agreement, then the
computation period shall be the Plan Year.

In determining Years of Service for purposes of vesting under the Plan, Years of
Service will be excluded as elected in the Adoption Agreement and as specified
in Section 3.5.

Years of Service and 1-Year Breaks in Service for eligibility purposes will be
measured on the same eligibility computation period. Years of Service and 1-Year
Breaks in Service for vesting purposes will be measured on the same vesting
computation period.

Years of Service with any Affiliated Employer shall be recognized. Furthermore,
Years of Service with any predecessor employer that maintained this Plan shall
be recognized. Years of Service with any other predecessor employer shall be
recognized as elected in the Adoption Agreement.

In the event the method of crediting service is amended from the Elapsed Time
method to the Hour of Service method, an Employee will receive credit for Years
of Service equal to:

(a)

The number of Years of Service equal to the number of 1-year Periods of Service
credited to the Employee as of the date of the amendment; and

(b)

In the computation period which includes the date of the amendment, a number of
Hours of Service (using the Hours of Service equivalency method elected in the
Adoption Agreement) to any fractional part of a year credited to the Employee
under this Section as of the date of the amendment.

general powers and responsibilities otherwise provided for in this Plan, the
Employer shall be empowered to appoint and remove the Trustee (or Insurer) and
the Administrator from time to time as it deems necessary for the proper
administration of the Plan to ensure that the Plan is being operated for the
exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries in accordance with
the terms of the Plan, the Code, and the Act. The Employer may appoint counsel,
specialists, advisers, agents (including any nonfiduciary agent) and other
persons as the Employer deems necessary or desirable in connection with the
exercise of its fiduciary duties under this Plan. The Employer may compensate
such agents or advisers from the assets of the Plan as fiduciary expenses (but
not including any business (settlor) expenses of the Employer), to the extent
not paid by the Employer.

(b)

Funding policy and method. The Employer shall establish a "funding policy and
method," i.e., it shall determine whether the Plan has a short run need for
liquidity (e.g., to pay benefits) or whether liquidity is a long run goal and
investment growth (and stability of same) is a more current need, or shall
appoint a qualified person to do so. If the Trustee (or Insurer) has
discretionary authority, the Employer or its delegate shall communicate such
needs and goals to the Trustee (or Insurer), who shall coordinate such Plan
needs with its investment policy. The communication of such a "funding policy
and method" shall not, however, constitute a directive to the Trustee (or
Insurer) as to the investment of the Trust Funds. Such "funding policy and
method" shall be consistent with the objectives of this Plan and with the
requirements of Title I of the Act.

(c)

Appointment of Investment Manager. The Employer may appoint, at its option, an
Investment Manager, investment adviser, or other agent to provide investment
direction to the Trustee (or Insurer) with respect to any or all of the Plan

acceptable to the Trustee(or Insurer) and shall specifically identify the Plan
assets with respect to which the Investment Manager or other agent shall have
the authority to direct the investment.

Review of fiduciary performance. The Employer shall periodically review the
performance of any Fiduciary or other person to whom duties have been delegated
or allocated by it under the provisions of this Plan or pursuant to procedures

DESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY

The Employer may appoint one or more Administrators. If the Employer does not

by filing written acceptance with the Employer. An Administrator may resign by
delivering a written resignation to the Employer or be removed by the Employer

resignation or removal of an Administrator, the Employer may designate in
writing a successor to this position.

2.3

ALLOCATION AND DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITIES

If more than one person is appointed as Administrator, then the responsibilities
of each Administrator may be specified by the Employer and accepted in writing
by each Administrator. If no such delegation is made by the Employer, then the
Administrators may allocate the responsibilities among themselves, in which
event the Administrators shall notify the Employer and the Trustee (or Insurer)
in writing of such action and specify the responsibilities of each
Administrator. The Trustee (or Insurer) thereafter shall accept and rely upon

3.5(d) below. If such prior service is disregarded, then the rehired Eligible
Employee shall be treated as a new hire.

(b)

Rehired Eligible Employee who satisfied eligibility. If any Eligible Employee
had satisfied the Plan's eligibility requirements but, due to a severance of
employment, did not become a Participant, then such Eligible Employee shall
become a Participant as of the later of (1) the entry date on which he or she
would have entered the Plan had there been no severance of employment, or (2)
the date of his or her re-employment. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the
rehired Eligible Employee's prior service is disregarded pursuant to Section
3.5(d) below, then the rehired Eligible Employee shall be treated as a new hire.

(c)

Rehired Eligible Employee who had not satisfied eligibility. If any Eligible
Employee who had not satisfied the Plan's eligibility requirements is rehired
after severance from employment, then such Eligible Employee shall become a
Participant in the Plan in accordance with the eligibility requirements set
forth in the Adoption Agreement and the Plan. However, in applying any shift in
an eligibility computation period, the Eligible Employee is not treated as a new
hire unless prior service is disregarded in accordance with Section 3.5(d)
below.

(d)

Reemployed after 1-Year Break in Service ("rule of parity" provisions). If any
Employee is reemployed after a 1-Year Break in Service has occurred, Years of
Service (or Periods of Service if the Elapsed Time method is being used) shall
include Years of Service (or Periods of Service if the Elapsed Time method is
being used) prior to the 1-Year Break in Service subject to the rules set forth
below. The Employer may elect in Appendix A to the Adoption Agreement (Other
Permitted Elections) to make the provisions of this paragraph inapplicable for
purposes of eligibility and/or vesting.

(1)

In the case of a Participant who under the Plan does not have a nonforfeitable
right to any interest in the Plan resulting from Employer contributions, Years
of Service (or Periods of Service) before a period of 1-Year Breaks in Service
will not be taken into account if the number of consecutive 1-Year Breaks in
Service equals or exceeds the greater of (A) five (5) or (B) the aggregate
number of pre-break Years of Service (or Periods of Service). Such aggregate
number of Years of Service (or Periods of Service) will not include any Years of
Service (or Periods of Service) disregarded under the preceding sentence by
reason of prior 1-Year Breaks in Service;

17

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

(2)

A Participant who has not had Years of Service (or Periods of Service) before a
1-Year Break in Service disregarded pursuant to (1) above, shall participate in
the Plan as of the date of reemployment, or if later, as of the date the Former
Employee would otherwise enter the Plan pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 taking
into account all service not disregarded.

(e)

Vesting after 5 1-Year Breaks in Service. After a Participant who has severed
employment with the Employer incurs five (5) consecutive 1-Year Breaks in
Service, the Vested portion of such Participant's Account attributable to
pre-break service shall not be increased as a result of post-break service. In
such case, separate accounts will be maintained as follows:

(1)

one account for nonforfeitable benefits attributable to pre-break service; and

(2)

one account representing the Participant's Employer-derived account balance in
the Plan attributable to post-break service.

(f)

Buyback provisions. If any Former Employee who had been a Participant is
reemployed by the Employer before five (5) consecutive 1-Year Breaks in Service,
and such Participant had received a distribution of the entire Vested interest
prior to reemployment, then the forfeited account shall be reinstated only if
the Participant repays the full amount which had been distributed (including
amounts from Accounts that were fully Vested such as the Elective Deferral
Account). Such repayment must be made before the earlier of five (5) years after
the first date on which the Participant is subsequently reemployed by the
Employer or the close of the first period of five (5) consecutive 1-Year Breaks
in Service commencing after the distribution. If a distribution occurs for any
reason other than a severance of employment, the time for repayment may not end
earlier than five (5) years after the date of distribution. In the event the
Participant does repay the full amount distributed, the undistributed forfeited
portion of the Participant's Account must be restored in full, unadjusted by any
gains or losses occurring subsequent to the Valuation Date preceding the
distribution. The source for such reinstatement may be Forfeitures occurring
during the Plan Year. If such source is insufficient, then the Employer will
contribute an amount which is sufficient to restore the Participant's Account,
provided, however, that if a discretionary contribution is made for such year,
such contribution will first be applied to restore any such accounts and the
remainder shall be allocated in accordance with the terms of the Plan. If a
non-Vested Participant was deemed to have received a distribution and such
Participant is reemployed by the Employer before five (5) consecutive 1-Year
Breaks in Service, then such Participant will be deemed to have repaid the
deemed distribution as of the date of reemployment.

3.6

ELECTION NOT TO PARTICIPATE

An Employee may, subject to the approval of the Employer, elect voluntarily not
to participate in any component of the Plan when the Employee first becomes
eligible. Such election must be made upon inception of the Plan or at any time
prior to the time the Employee first becomes eligible to participate under any
plan maintained by the Employer. The election not to participate must be
irrevocable and communicated to the Employer, in writing, within a reasonable
period of time before the date the Employee would have otherwise entered the
Plan.

An Employee who elects not to participate under the Plan is treated as a
nonbenefiting Employee for purposes of the minimum coverage requirements under
Code Section 410(b). Furthermore, an Employee who makes a one-time irrevocable
election, as described in the preceding paragraph, to make no Elective Deferrals
to the Plan is not an eligible Participant for purposes of the Actual Deferral
Percentage test set forth in Section 12.4 or the Actual Contribution Percentage
test set forth in Section 12.6.

ARTICLE IV

CONTRIBUTION AND ALLOCATION

4.1

FORMULA FOR DETERMINING EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION

(a)

For a Money Purchase Plan:

(1)

The Employer will make contributions on the following basis. On behalf of each
Participant eligible to share in allocations, for each year of such
Participant's participation in this Plan, the Employer will contribute the
amount elected in the Adoption Agreement. All contributions by the Employer will
be made in cash. In the event a funding waiver is obtained, this Plan shall be
deemed to be an individually designed plan.

(2)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an Employer which is not a
tax-exempt entity, the Employer's contribution for any Fiscal Year shall not
exceed the maximum amount allowable as a deduction to the Employer under the
provisions of Code Section 404. However, to the extent necessary to provide the
top-heavy minimum allocations, the Employer shall make a contribution even if it
exceeds the amount that is deductible under Code Section 404.

(b)

For a Profit Sharing Plan:

(1)

For each Plan Year, the Employer may (or will in the case of a Prevailing Wage
Contribution as set forth in the Formula for Determining Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution Section of the Adoption Agreement) contribute to the Plan such
amount as elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. In addition, the
Employer may make a discretionary "gateway contribution" pursuant to Section
4.3(b)(4).

18

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

(2)

Additionally, the Employer will contribute to the Plan the amount necessary, if
any, to provide the top-heavy minimum allocations even if it exceeds current or
accumulated Net Profit or the amount that is deductible under Code Section 404.

(3)

Subject to the consent of the Trustee (or Insurer), the Employer may make its
contribution to the Plan in the form of property, provided such contribution
does not constitute a prohibited transaction under the Code or the Act. The
decision to make a contribution of property is subject to the general fiduciary
rules under the Act.

(c)

Frozen Plans. The Employer may designate that the Plan is a frozen Plan at the
Contribution Types Section of the Adoption Agreement. As a frozen Plan, the
Employer will not make any Employer contributions with respect to Compensation
earned after the date identified in the Adoption Agreement, and if the Plan is a
401(k) Plan, no Participant will be permitted to make Elective Deferrals to the
Plan for any period following the effective date identified in the Adoption
Agreement. In addition, once a Plan is frozen, no Eligible Employees shall
become Participants.

4.2

TIME OF PAYMENT OF EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION

Unless otherwise provided by contract or law, the Employer may make its
contribution to the Plan for a particular Plan Year at such time as the
Employer, in its sole discretion, determines. However, if pursuant to Section
12.8, the "ADP test safe harbor contribution" being made to the Plan is a
matching contribution that is made on a basis other than the Plan Year quarter,
then the matching contributions with respect to any Elective Deferrals made
during a Plan Year quarter must be contributed to the Plan by the last day of
the immediately following Plan Year quarter. If the Employer makes a
contribution for a particular Plan Year after the close of that Plan Year, the
Employer will designate to the Administrator the Plan Year for which the
Employer is making its contribution.

4.3

ALLOCATION OF CONTRIBUTION, FORFEITURES AND EARNINGS

(a)

Separate accounting. The Administrator shall establish and maintain an account
in the name of each Participant to which the Administrator shall credit as of
each Anniversary Date, or other Valuation Date, all amounts allocated to each
such Participant as set forth herein.

(b)

Allocation of contributions. The Employer shall provide the Administrator with
all information required by the Administrator to make a proper allocation of the
Employer's contribution, if any, for each Plan Year. Within a reasonable period
of time after the date of receipt by the Administrator of such information, the
Administrator shall allocate any contributions as follows:

(1)

Money Purchase allocation. For a Money Purchase Plan (other than a Money
Purchase Plan which is integrated by allocation):

(i)

The Employer's contribution shall be allocated to each Participant's Account in
the manner set forth in Section 4.1 herein and as specified in the Adoption
Agreement.

(ii)

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, a Participant shall only be eligible
to share in the allocations of the Employer's contribution for the year if the
Participant is an Eligible Employee at any time during the year and the
conditions set forth in the Adoption Agreement are satisfied, unless a top-heavy
contribution is required pursuant to Section 4.3(f). If no election is made in
the Adoption Agreement, then a Participant shall be eligible to share in the
allocation of the Employer's contribution for the year if the Participant
completes more than five hundred (500) Hours of Service (or three (3) Months of
Service if the Elapsed Time method is chosen in the Adoption Agreement) during
the Plan Year or is employed on the last day of the Plan Year. Furthermore,
regardless of any election in the Adoption Agreement to the contrary, for the
Plan Year in which this Plan terminates, a Participant shall only be eligible to
share in the allocation of the Employer's contributions for the Plan Year if the
Participant is employed at the end of the Plan Year and has completed a Year of
Service (or Period of Service if the Elapsed Time method is elected).

(2)

Permitted disparity allocation. For an integrated Profit Sharing Plan or 401(k)
Profit Sharing Plan allocation or a Money Purchase Plan which is integrated by
allocation:

(i)

Except as provided in Section 4.3(f) for top-heavy purposes and subject to the
"overall permitted disparity limits," the Employer's contribution shall be
allocated to each Participant's Account in a dollar amount equal to 5.7% of the
sum of each Participant's Compensation plus Excess Compensation. If the Employer
does not contribute such amount for all Participants, each Participant will be
allocated a share of the contribution in the same proportion that each such
Participant's Compensation plus Excess Compensation for the Plan Year bears to
the total Compensation plus the total Excess Compensation of all Participants
for that year. However, in the case of any Participant who has exceeded the
"cumulative permitted disparity limit," the allocation set forth in this
paragraph shall be based on such Participant's Compensation rather than
Compensation plus Excess Compensation.

Regardless of the preceding, 4.3% shall be substituted for 5.7% above if Excess
Compensation is based on more than 20% and less than or equal to 80% of the
Taxable Wage Base. If Excess Compensation is based on less than 100% and more
than 80% of the Taxable Wage Base, then 5.4% shall be substituted for 5.7%
above.

19

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

(ii)

The balance of the Employer's contribution over the amount allocated above, if
any, shall be allocated to each Participant's Account in the same proportion
that each such Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total
Compensation of all Participants for such year.

(iii)

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, a Participant shall only be eligible
to share in the allocations of the Employer's contribution for the year if the
Participant is an Eligible Employee at any time during the year and the
conditions set forth in the Adoption Agreement are satisfied, unless a top-heavy
contribution is required pursuant to Section 4.3(f). If no election is made in
the Adoption Agreement, then a Participant shall be eligible to share in the
allocation of the Employer's contribution for the year if the Participant
completes more than five hundred (500) Hours of Service (or three (3) Months of
Service if the Elapsed Time method is chosen in the Adoption Agreement) during
the Plan Year or is employed on the last day of the Plan Year.

(iv)

The following "overall permitted disparity limits" (which consist of the "annual
overall permitted disparity limit" and the "cumulative permitted disparity
limit") apply to the allocations set forth above.

(A)

"Annual overall permitted disparity limit." Notwithstanding the preceding
paragraphs, if in any Plan Year this Plan "benefits" any Participant who
"benefits" under another qualified plan or simplified employee pension, as
defined in Code Section 408(k), maintained by the Employer that either provides
for or imputes permitted disparity (integrates), then such plans will be
considered to be one plan and will be considered to comply with the permitted
disparity rules if the extent of the permitted disparity of all such plans does
not exceed 100%. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the extent of the
permitted disparity of a plan is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, which the
actual benefits, benefit rate, offset rate, or employer contribution rate,
whatever is applicable under the Plan, bears to the limitation under Code
Section 401(l) applicable to such Plan.

(B)

"Cumulative permitted disparity limit." With respect to a Participant who
"benefits" or "has benefited" under a defined benefit or target benefit plan of
the Employer, the "cumulative permitted disparity limit" for the Participant is
thirty-five (35) total cumulative permitted disparity years. Total cumulative
permitted disparity years means the number of years credited to the Participant
for allocation or accrual purposes under the Plan, any other qualified plan or
simplified employee pension plan (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by
the Employer, while such plan either provides for or imputes permitted
disparity. For purposes of determining the Participant's "cumulative permitted
disparity limit," all years ending in the same calendar year are treated as the
same year. If the Participant has not "benefited" under a defined benefit or
target benefit plan which neither provides for nor imputes permitted disparity
for any year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, then such Participant has no
cumulative disparity limit.

For purposes of this Section, "benefiting" means benefiting under the Plan for
any Plan Year during which a Participant received or is deemed to receive an
allocation in accordance with Regulation Section 1.410(b)-3(a).

(3)

Other profit sharing allocations. For a Profit Sharing Plan or 401(k) Profit
Sharing Plan with a non-integrated allocation formula, a uniform points
allocation formula, a Prevailing Wage Contribution allocation formula, an
"age-weighted method" allocation formula, or a "grouping method" allocation
formula as elected in the Formula for Determining Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution Section of the Adoption Agreement:  

(i)

The Employer's contribution shall be allocated to each Participant's Account in
accordance with the allocation method below that corresponds to the elections in
the Adoption Agreement. The Employer shall provide the Administrator with all
information required by the Administrator to make a proper allocation of the
Employer's contribution for each Plan Year. Within a reasonable period of time
after the date of receipt by the Administrator of such information, the
allocation shall be made in accordance with the provisions below. The "gateway
contribution" for plans with a cross-tested allocation formula shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (4) below.

(ii)

If the Employer's contribution is fixed, the Employer shall allocate the
contribution in a set percentage to each Participant. If the Employer elects to
contribute a uniform dollar amount for each Participant, the pro rata allocation
shall allocate that uniform dollar amount to each Participant.

(iii)

If the Employer's contribution is discretionary and non-integrated, the
contribution shall be allocated either in the same ratio as each Participant's
Compensation bears to the total of such Compensation of all Participants, in the
same dollar amount to all Participants (per capita), or in the same dollar
amount per Hour of Service completed by each Participant.

(iv)

If the Employer's Contribution is allocated under a uniform points allocation
formula, the allocation for each Participant shall be determined based on the
Participant's total points for the Plan Year, as determined under the Adoption
Agreement. A Participant's allocation of the Employer Contribution is determined
by multiplying the Employer Contribution by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the Participant's total points for the Plan Year and the denominator of which
is the sum of the points for all Participants for the Plan Year. A Participant
shall receive points for each year(s) of age and/or each Year(s) of Service. In
addition, a Participant also may receive points based on his or her
Compensation,

20

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

(v)

If the Employer's contribution is a Prevailing Wage Contribution, it shall be
allocated to each Participant who performs services subject to the Service
Contract Act, Davis-Bacon Act or similar Federal, State, or Municipal Prevailing
Wage statutes. The Prevailing Wage Contribution shall be an amount equal to the
balance of the fringe benefit payment for health and welfare for each
Participant (after deducting the cost of cash differential payments for the
Participant) based on the hourly contribution rate for the Participant's
employment classification, as designated on Schedule A as attached to the
Adoption Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the
Prevailing Wage Contribution shall be fully Vested. Furthermore, the Prevailing
Wage Contribution shall not be subject to any age, service or employment
condition requirements set forth in the Adoption Agreement and the Employer
shall make such contribution to the Plan as frequently as is required under
applicable law.

(vi)

If the Employer's contribution is allocated according to a "grouping method,"
the Employer may contribute to the Plan on behalf of each of the classifications
of Participants set forth in the Adoption Agreement such amount as shall be
determined by the Employer. The Employer shall provide the Administrator, if
other than the Employer, with written notification of the amount of the
contribution to be allocated to each classification on or before the due date of
the Employer's tax return for the year of allocation, through written
instructions from the Employer to the Plan Administrator. The Employer may elect
to specify any number of classifications and a classification may consist of any
number of Participants. The Employer may elect at Question 31.g.1. of the 401(k)
Profit Sharing Adoption Agreement or 27.g.1.a. of the Profit Sharing Adoption
Agreement to put each Participant in his or her own classification. The
Administrator shall allocate the contribution made on behalf of each group of
Participants to the Participants within such group either in the same proportion
that each such Participant's Compensation bears to the total Compensation of all
Participants within such group or on an equal basis (per capita), as selected in
the Adoption Agreement.

(vii)

If the Employer's contribution is allocated according to an "age-weighting
method," the Employer's contribution for the Plan Year shall be allocated to
each Participant's Account in the same proportion that each such Participant's
total points with respect to such year, bear to the total points awarded to all
Participants with respect to such year. The conditional allocation provided for
in the preceding sentence shall become the final allocation for the year only if
it is not a Top-Heavy Plan Year; or if the minimum allocation required for
Top-Heavy Plan Years is provided to all Employees eligible to receive such
minimum allocation. If any such Employee does not receive the top-heavy minimum
allocation, then in lieu of the conditional allocation, the Employer's
contribution shall instead be allocated first to the affected Employees in an
amount equal to their conditional allocation plus any additional amount
necessary to provide the top-heavy minimum allocation.

The remainder of the Employer's contribution shall then be allocated as provided
under the conditional allocation method, but for this purpose, those Employees
who did not receive the top-heavy minimum allocation under the initial
conditional allocation shall not be considered. If under the secondary
allocation provided in the preceding sentence, an Employee who received a
top-heavy minimum contribution under the conditional allocation no longer
receives the same, then the steps outlined in the preceding paragraph and
sentence shall be repeated until such time as all affected Employees have been
allocated the top-heavy minimum contribution and the remaining contribution has
been allocated, at which time, the allocations for the year shall be final.

A Participant's points with respect to any Plan Year shall be computed as
follows:

(A)

Multiply the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year by 1%.

(B)

Multiply the product for each Participant as determined in (a) above by the
product of:

1.

the factor in Table I in Exhibit A to the Adoption Agreement, such factor to be
determined by reference to the Participant's Normal Retirement Age, and

2.

the factor in Table II of Exhibit A to the Adoption Agreement, such factor to be
determined by reference to the number of years remaining from the Participant's
attained age as of the allocation date to his or her Normal Retirement Age.

The Schedule of Age-Weighted Allocation Factors is set forth in Exhibit A to the
Adoption Agreement, (which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part
of the Plan) and shall be based on the interest rate selected in the Adoption
Agreement (if no selection is made, 8.5% interest shall be deemed to have been
elected).

3.

The resulting number shall be the number of points allocated to the Participant.

(viii)Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, a Participant shall only be
eligible to share in the allocations of the Employer's contribution for the year
if the Participant is an Eligible Employee at any time during the year and the
conditions set forth in the Adoption Agreement are satisfied, unless a top-heavy
contribution is required pursuant to Section 4.3(f). If no election is made in
the Adoption Agreement, then a Participant shall be eligible to share in the
allocation of the Employer's contribution for the year if the Participant
completes more than five hundred (500) Hours of Service (or three (3) Months of
Service if the Elapsed Time method is chosen in the Adoption Agreement) during
the Plan Year or is employed on the last day of the Plan Year.

21

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

(4)

Gateway contribution. The Employer may make an additional discretionary Employer
contribution ("gateway contribution") as set forth below (i.e., the minimum
allocation gateway requirement described in Regulation Section
1.401(a)(4)8(b)(1)(vi)). In applying the provisions of this subsection (4), the
term "Employer contributions" shall also include any Forfeitures that are
allocated to a Participant, other than Forfeitures that are subject to Code
Section 401(m) because they are allocated as a matching contribution.
Furthermore, in applying the provisions of this subsection (4) to a 401(k)
Profit Sharing Plan, the term "Employer contributions" means any Employer
Nonelective Contributions, safe harbor Nonelective and, except as otherwise
provided in subsections (4)(ii) and (iv) below, Qualified Nonelective
Contributions, and such term excludes any matching contributions.

(i)

Any "gateway contribution" made pursuant to this subsection for a Plan Year will
be allocated to each Nonhighly Compensated Participant who receives an
allocation of other "Employer contributions," for such Plan Year. The "gateway
contribution" will be allocated without regard to any allocation conditions
otherwise applicable to "Employer contributions" under the Plan. However,
Participants who the Administrator disaggregates pursuant to Regulation Section
1.410(b)-7(c)(3) because they have not satisfied the greatest minimum age and
service conditions permissible under Code Section 410(a) shall not be eligible
to receive an allocation of any "gateway contribution" made pursuant to this
subsection unless such an allocation is necessary to satisfy Code Section
401(a)(4).

(ii)

The "gateway contribution" will be allocated pro rata on the basis of
Compensation (as defined in (iii) or (iv) below, whichever is applicable) of
each eligible Participant (as described in subsection (i) above) but in no event
will an allocation of the "gateway contribution" exceed the lesser of: (A) five
percent (5%) of Compensation or (B) one-third (1/3) of the highest allocation
rate for any Highly Compensated Participant for the Plan Year. Any allocation
under the prior sentence will be reduced by the amount of any other "Employer
contributions," excluding any Qualified Nonelective Contributions that are used
to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage test set forth in Section 12.4 or the
Actual Contribution Percentage test set forth in Section 12.6, allocated for the
same Plan Year to such Participant, provided that if an eligible Participant is
receiving only a Qualified Nonelective Contribution and such contribution amount
equals or exceeds the "gateway contribution," then the contribution satisfies
the "gateway contribution" requirement as to that Participant.

(iii)

For allocation purposes under the 5% "gateway contribution" under (A) of
subsection (ii) above, Compensation means 415 Compensation except that it shall
be determined for the Plan Year (rather than the Limitation Year) and shall
exclude 415 Compensation paid while an Employee is not a Participant in the
Plan.

(iv)

For purposes of the 1/3 "gateway contribution" alternative under (B) of
subsection (ii) above, the Administrator will (a) determine the allocation rate,
and (b) allocate the "gateway contribution," using a Participant's Compensation,
provided the definition of Compensation satisfies Regulation Section 1.414(s).
In addition, the allocation rate for any Participant is determined by dividing
the total "Employer contribution" made on behalf of such Participant by the
Participant's Compensation (as defined in the preceding sentence). However,
solely for purposes of determining the allocation rate of any Nonhighly
Compensated Participant, Qualified Nonelective Contributions that are used to
satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage test set forth in Section 12.4 or the
Actual Contribution Percentage test set forth in Section 12.6, shall not be
taken into account.

(v)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may increase the "gateway
contribution" to satisfy the provisions of Regulation Section
1.401(a)(4)-9(b)(2)(v)(D) if the plan (for nondiscrimination testing purposes)
consists of one or more defined contribution plans and one or more defined
benefit plans.

(c)

Gains or losses. Except as otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement or as
provided in Section 4.10 with respect to Participant Directed Accounts, as of
each Valuation Date, before allocation of any Employer contributions and
Forfeitures, any earnings or losses (net appreciation or net depreciation) of
the Trust Fund (exclusive of assets segregated for distribution) shall be
allocated in the same proportion that each Participant's nonsegregated accounts
bear to the total of all Participants' nonsegregated accounts as of such date.

(d)

Contracts. Participants' Accounts shall be debited for any insurance or annuity
premiums paid, if any, and credited with any dividends or interest received on
Contracts.

(e)

Forfeitures. On or before each Anniversary Date, any amounts which became
Forfeitures since the last Anniversary Date may be made available to reinstate
previously forfeited account balances of Participants, if any, in accordance
with Section 3.5(f), used to satisfy any contribution that may be required
pursuant to Section 6.10, or, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, used to pay
any Plan expenses. The remaining Forfeitures, if any, shall be treated in
accordance with the elections made in the Forfeiture Section of the Adoption
Agreement. In the event Forfeitures are used to reduce an Employer discretionary
contribution and the Forfeitures exceed such contribution, then the remaining
Forfeitures will be allocated as an additional discretionary contribution. If no
election is made in the Adoption Agreement, then any remaining Forfeitures will
be used to reduce any Employer contributions under the Plan. However, if the
Plan provides for an integrated allocation and no election is made in the
Adoption Agreement, then any remaining Forfeitures will be added to the
Employer's contributions under the Plan. Furthermore, if the Plan provides for a
"grouping method" allocation and

22

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

Forfeitures are added to, or used to reduce, the Employer's contribution that is
to be allocated among the groups, then any remaining Forfeitures will be
apportioned to each group in proportion to the contribution made for each group,
as made or determined by the Employer. Regardless of the preceding sentences, in
the event the allocation of Forfeitures provided herein shall cause the "annual
additions" (as defined in Section 4.4) to any Participant's Account to exceed
the amount allowable by the Code, an adjustment shall be made in accordance with
Section 4.5. Except, however, a Participant shall only be eligible to share in
the allocations of Forfeitures for the year if the conditions set forth in the
Adoption Agreement are satisfied, unless a top-heavy contribution is required
pursuant to Section 4.3(f). If no election is made in the Adoption Agreement,
then a Participant shall be eligible to share in the allocation of the
Employer's contribution for the year if the Participant completes more than five
hundred (500) Hours of Service (or three (3) Months of Service if the Elapsed
Time method is chosen in the Adoption Agreement) during the Plan Year or is
employed on the last day of the Plan Year.

(f)

Minimum allocations required for Top-Heavy Plan Years. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for any Top-Heavy Plan Year, the sum of the Employer's contributions
and Forfeitures allocated to the Participant's Combined Account of each Non-Key
Employee or each Participant, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, shall be
equal to at least three percent (3%) of such Employee's 415 Compensation for the
Plan Year or the calendar year ending within the Plan Year (reduced by
contributions and Forfeitures, if any, allocated to each such Employee in any
defined contribution plan included with this Plan in a "required aggregation
group" (as defined in Section 9.2(f)). However, if (i) the sum of the Employer's
contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the Participant's Combined Account of
each Key Employee for such Top-Heavy Plan Year is less than three percent (3%)
of each Key Employee's 415 Compensation and (ii) this Plan is not required to be
included in a "required aggregation group" (as defined in Section 9.2(f)) to
enable a defined benefit plan to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4)
or 410, the sum of the Employer's contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the
Participant's Combined Account of each Employee entitled to the top-heavy
minimum contribution shall be equal to the largest percentage allocated to the
Participant's Combined Account of any Key Employee. The minimum allocation
required (to the extent required to be nonforfeitable under Code Section 416(b))
may not be forfeited under Code Section 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D).

However, for each Employee who is a Participant in a Profit Sharing Plan or
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and a Money Purchase Plan, the minimum three percent
(3%) allocation specified above shall be provided in the Money Purchase Plan.

If this is an integrated Plan, then for any Top-Heavy Plan Year the Employer's
contribution shall be allocated as follows and shall still be required to
satisfy the other provisions of this subsection:

(1)

An amount equal to three percent (3%) multiplied by each Participant's
Compensation for the Plan Year shall be allocated to each Participant's Account.
If the Employer does not contribute such amount for all Participants, the amount
shall be allocated to each Participant's Account in the same proportion that
such Participant's total Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total
Compensation of all Participants for such year.

(2)

The balance of the Employer's contribution over the amount allocated under
subparagraph (1) hereof shall be allocated to each Participant's Account in a
dollar amount equal to three percent (3%) multiplied by a Participant's Excess
Compensation. If the Employer does not contribute such amount for all
Participants, each Participant will be allocated a share of the contribution in
the same proportion that such Participant's Excess Compensation bears to the
total Excess Compensation of all Participants for that year. For purposes of
this paragraph, in the case of any Participant who has exceeded the "cumulative
permitted disparity limit" described in Section 4.3(b)(2), such Participant's
total Compensation will be taken into account.

(3)

The balance of the Employer's contribution over the amount allocated under
subparagraph (2) hereof shall be allocated to each Participant's Account in a
dollar amount equal to 2.7% multiplied by the sum of each Participant's total
Compensation plus Excess Compensation. If the Employer does not contribute such
amount for all Participants, each Participant will be allocated a share of the
contribution in the same proportion that such Participant's total Compensation
plus Excess Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation plus
Excess Compensation of all Participants for that year. For purposes of this
paragraph, in the case of any Participant who has exceeded the "cumulative
permitted disparity limit" described in Section 4.3(b)(2), such Participant's
total Compensation rather than Compensation plus Excess Compensation will be
taken into account.

Regardless of the preceding, 1.3% shall be substituted for 2.7% above if Excess
Compensation is based on more than 20% and less than or equal to 80% of the
Taxable Wage Base. If Excess Compensation is based on less than 100% and more
than 80% of the Taxable Wage Base, then 2.4% shall be substituted for 2.7%
above.

(4)

The balance of the Employer's contributions over the amount allocated above, if
any, shall be allocated to each Participant's Account in the same proportion
that such Participant's total Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total
Compensation of all Participants for such year.

For each Employee who is a Participant in this Plan and another defined
contribution plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, the
minimum three percent (3%) allocation specified above shall be provided as
specified in the Adoption Agreement.

23

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

(g)

Top-Heavy contribution allocation. For purposes of the minimum allocations set
forth above, the percentage allocated to the Participant's Combined Account of
any Key Employee shall be equal to the ratio of the sum of the Employer's
contributions and Forfeitures allocated on behalf of such Key Employee divided
by the 415 Compensation for such Key Employee.

(h)

Participants eligible for top-heavy allocation. Notwithstanding anything in this
Plan to the contrary, for any Top-Heavy Plan Year, the minimum allocations set
forth in this Section shall only be allocated to the Participant's Combined
Account of all Non-Key Employees, and Key Employees if elected in the Adoption
Agreement, who are Participants and who are employed by the Employer on the last
day of the Plan Year, including Employees who have (1) failed to complete a Year
of Service; (2) declined to make mandatory contributions (if required) or, in
the case of a cash or deferred arrangement, Elective Deferrals to the Plan; or
(3) Compensation less than a stated amount. In addition, pursuant to Code
Section 416(g)(4), Participants whose employment is governed by a collective
bargaining agreement between the Employer and employee representatives under
which retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining shall not be
eligible to receive the top-heavy minimum allocations.

(i)

Top-Heavy allocation if DB and DC plans maintained. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in any Plan Year in which the Employer maintains both
this Plan and a non-frozen defined benefit pension plan included in a "required
aggregation group" (as defined in Section 9.2(f)) which is top-heavy, the
Employer will not be required (unless otherwise elected in Appendix A to the
Adoption Agreement (Other Permitted Elections)) to provide Employees with both
the full separate minimum defined benefit plan benefit and the full separate
defined contribution plan top-heavy minimum allocations. In such case, the
top-heavy minimum benefits will be provided as elected in the Adoption Agreement
and, if applicable, as follows:

(1)

If the 5% defined contribution minimum is elected in the Adoption Agreement:

(i)

The requirements of Section 9.1 will apply except that each Employee who accrues
a benefit in the Profit Sharing Plan or Money Purchase Plan and who is also a
participant in the Defined Benefit Plan will receive a minimum allocation of
five percent (5%) of such Participant's 415 Compensation from the applicable
defined contribution plan(s).

(ii)

For each Employee who is a participant only in the Defined Benefit Plan the
Employer will provide a minimum non-integrated benefit equal to two percent (2%)
of such participant's highest five (5) consecutive year average 415 Compensation
for each Year of Service while a participant in the plan, in which the Plan is
top-heavy, not to exceed ten (10).

(iii)

For each Employee who is a Participant only in this defined contribution plan,
the Employer will provide a minimum allocation equal to three percent (3%) of
such Participant's 415 Compensation.

(2)

If the 2% defined benefit minimum is elected in the Adoption Agreement, then for
each Employee who is a participant only in the defined benefit plan, the
Employer will provide a minimum non-integrated benefit equal to two percent (2%)
of such participant's highest five (5) consecutive year average of 415
Compensation for each Year of Service while a participant in the plan, in which
the plan is top-heavy, not to exceed ten (10).

(j)

Matching contributions used to satisfy top-heavy contribution. Unless otherwise
specified in Appendix A to the Adoption Agreement (Other Permitted Elections),
effective with respect to Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, Employer
matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying
the minimum contribution requirements of Code Section 416(c)(2) and the Plan.
The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under
the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement
shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer matching contributions
that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated
as matching contributions for purposes of the ACP test and other requirements of
Code Section 401(m).

(k)

Contributions under other plans. The Employer may provide, in Appendix A to the
Adoption Agreement (Other Permitted Elections), that with respect to any Plan
Year beginning after December 31, 2001, the minimum benefit requirement shall be
met in another plan (including another plan that consists solely of a cash or
deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12) and
matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Code Section
401(m)(11) apply). The Employer must specify the name of the other plan, the
minimum benefit that will be provided under such other plan, and the employees
who will receive the minimum benefit under such other plan.

(l)

Delay in processing transactions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to
the contrary, all information necessary to properly reflect a given transaction
may not be available until after the date specified herein for processing such
transaction, in which case the transaction will be reflected when such
information is received and processed. Subject to express limits that may be
imposed under the Code, the processing of any contribution, distribution or
other transaction may be delayed for any legitimate business reason (including,
but not limited to, failure of systems or computer programs, failure of the
means of the transmission of data, force majeure, the failure of a service
provider to timely receive values or prices, and correction for errors or
omissions or the errors or omissions of any service provider). The processing
date of a transaction will be binding for all purposes of the Plan.

24

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

(m)

410(b) ratio percentage fail-safe provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section to the contrary, the provisions of this subsection apply for any Plan
Year if the Employer elected to apply the 410(b) ratio percentage fail-safe
provisions and the Plan fails to satisfy the "ratio percentage test" due to a
last day of the Plan Year allocation condition or an Hours of Service (or months
of service) allocation condition. A plan satisfies the "ratio percentage test"
if, on the last day of the Plan Year, the "benefiting ratio" of the Nonhighly
Compensated Employees who are "includible" is at least 70% of the "benefiting
ratio" of the Highly Compensated Employees who are "includible." The "benefiting
ratio" of the Nonhighly Compensated Employees is the number of "includible"
Nonhighly Compensated Employees "benefiting" under the Plan divided by the
number of "includible" Employees who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees. The
"benefiting ratio" of the Highly Compensated Employees is the number of Highly
Compensated Employees "benefiting" under the Plan divided by the number of
"includible" Highly Compensated Employees. "Includible" Employees are all
Employees other than: (1) those Employees excluded from participating in the
Plan for the entire Plan Year by reason of the collective bargaining unit
exclusion or the nonresident alien exclusion described in the Code or by reason
of the age and service requirements of Article III; and (2) any Employee who
incurs a separation from service during the Plan Year and fails to complete at
least 501 Hours of Service (or three (3) months of service if the Elapsed Time
method is being used) during such Plan Year.

For purposes of this subsection, an Employee is "benefiting" under the Plan on a
particular date if, under the Plan, the Employee is entitled to an Employer
contribution or an allocation of Forfeitures for the Plan Year.

If this subsection applies and the Hours of Service method is used, then the
Administrator will suspend the allocation conditions and expand the group of the
"includible" Nonhighly Compensated Employees who are Participants by including
the minimum number of Participants eligible to share in the contribution,
beginning first with the "includible" Employees employed by the Employer on the
last day of the Plan Year who have completed the greatest number of Hours of
Service in the Plan Year, then the "includible" Employees who have completed the
greatest number of Hours of Service during the Plan Year, and continuing to
suspend the allocation conditions for each "includible" Employee who completed
Hours of Service, from the greatest number of Hours of Service to the least,
until the Plan satisfies the "ratio percentage test" for the Plan Year. If two
or more "includible" Employees have the same number of Hours of Service, then
the Administrator will suspend the allocation conditions for all such
"includible" Employees, irrespective of whether the Plan can satisfy the "ratio
percentage test" by accruing benefits for fewer than all such "includible"
Employees. If the Plan for any Plan Year suspends the allocation conditions for
an "includible" Employee, then that Employee will share in the allocation for
that Plan Year of the Employer contribution and Forfeitures, if any, without
regard to whether the Employee has satisfied the other allocation conditions set
forth in this Section.

If this subsection applies and the Elapsed Time method is used, then the
Administrator will suspend the allocation conditions for the "includible"
Nonhighly Compensated Employees who are Participants, beginning first with the
"includible" Employees employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan
Year, then the "includible" Employees who have the latest separation from
service during the Plan Year, and continuing to suspend the allocation
conditions for each "includible" Employee who incurred an earlier separation
from service, from the latest to the earliest separation from service date,
until the Plan satisfies the "ratio percentage test" for the Plan Year. If two
or more "includible" Employees have a separation from service on the same day,
then the Administrator will suspend the allocation conditions for all such
"includible" Employees, irrespective of whether the Plan can satisfy the "ratio
percentage test" by accruing benefits for fewer than all such "includible"
Employees. If the Plan for any Plan Year suspends the allocation conditions for
an "includible" Employee, then that Employee will share in the allocation for
that Plan Year of the Employer contribution and Forfeitures, if any, without
regard to whether the Employee has satisfied the other allocation conditions set
forth in this Section.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the portion of the Plan which is not a Code
Section 401(k) or 401(m) plan would fail to satisfy Code Section 410(b) if the
coverage tests were applied by treating those Participants whose only allocation
would otherwise be provided under the top-heavy formula as if they were not
currently benefiting under the Plan, then, for purposes of applying this
subsection (m), such Participants shall be treated as not benefiting.

4.4

MAXIMUM ANNUAL ADDITIONS

(a)

Calculation of "annual additions."

(1)

If a Participant does not participate in, and has never participated in another
qualified plan maintained by the "employer," or a welfare benefit fund (as
defined in Code Section 419(e)) maintained by the "employer," or an individual
medical benefit account (as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2)) maintained by the
"employer," or a simplified employee pension (as defined in Code Section 408(k))
maintained by the "employer" which provides "annual additions," the amount of
"annual additions" which may be credited to the Participant's Accounts for any
Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of the "maximum permissible amount"
or any other limitation contained in this Plan. If the "employer" contribution
that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant's Accounts
would cause the "annual additions" for the Limitation Year to exceed the
"maximum permissible amount," the amount contributed or allocated will be
reduced so that the "annual additions" for the Limitation Year will equal the
"maximum permissible amount," and any amount in excess of the "maximum
permissible amount" which would have been allocated to such Participant may be
allocated to other Participants.

(2)

Prior to determining the Participant's actual 415 Compensation for the
Limitation Year, the "employer" may determine the "maximum permissible amount"
for a Participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the Participant's
415 Compensation for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for all
Participants similarly situated.

25

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

(3)

As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year the
"maximum permissible amount" for such Limitation Year shall be determined on the
basis of the Participant's actual 415 Compensation for such Limitation Year.

(b)

"Annual additions" if a Participant is in more than one plan.

(1)

This subsection applies if, in addition to this Plan, a Participant is covered
under another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the "employer"
that is a "master or prototype plan," a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code
Section 419(e)) maintained by the "employer," an individual medical benefit
account (as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2)) maintained by the "employer," or
a simplified employee pension (as defined in Code Section 408(k)) maintained by
the "employer," which provides "annual additions," during any Limitation Year.
The "annual additions" which may be credited to a Participant's accounts under
this Plan for any such Limitation Year shall not exceed the "maximum permissible
amount" reduced by the "annual additions" credited to a Participant's accounts
under the other plans and welfare benefit funds, individual medical benefit
accounts, and simplified employee pensions for the same Limitation Year. If the
"annual additions" with respect to the Participant under other defined
contribution plans and welfare benefit funds maintained by the "employer" are
less than the "maximum permissible amount" and the "employer" contribution that
would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant's accounts under
this Plan would cause the "annual additions" for the Limitation Year to exceed
this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so that the
"annual additions" under all such plans and welfare benefit funds for the
Limitation Year will equal the "maximum permissible amount," and any amount in
excess of the "maximum permissible amount" which would have been allocated to
such Participant may be allocated to other Participants. If the "annual
additions" with respect to the Participant under such other defined contribution
plans, welfare benefit funds, individual medical benefit accounts and simplified
employee pensions in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the "maximum
permissible amount," no amount will be contributed or allocated to the
Participant's account under this Plan for the Limitation Year.

(2)

Prior to determining the Participant's actual 415 Compensation for the
Limitation Year, the "employer" may determine the "maximum permissible amount"
for a Participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the Participant's
415 Compensation for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for all
Participants similarly situated.

(3)

As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year,
the "maximum permissible amount" for the Limitation Year will be determined on
the basis of the Participant's actual 415 Compensation for the Limitation Year.

(4)

If, pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(2) or Section 4.5, a Participant's "annual
additions" under this Plan and such other plans would result in an "excess
amount" for a Limitation Year, the "excess amount" will be deemed to consist of
the "annual additions" last allocated, except that "annual additions"
attributable to a simplified employee pension will be deemed to have been
allocated first, followed by "annual additions" to a welfare benefit fund or
individual medical benefit account, and then by "annual additions" to a plan
subject to Code Section 412, regardless of the actual allocation date.

(5)

If an "excess amount" was allocated to a Participant on an allocation date of
this Plan which coincides with an allocation date of another plan, the "excess
amount" attributed to this Plan will be the product of:

(i)

the total "excess amount" allocated as of such date, times

(ii)

the ratio of (1) the "annual additions" allocated to the Participant for the
Limitation Year as of such date under this Plan to (2) the total "annual
additions" allocated to the Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date
under this and all the other qualified defined contribution plans.

(6)

Any "excess amount" attributed to this Plan will be disposed of in the manner
described in Section 4.5.

(c)

Certain amounts are not "annual additions." For purposes of applying the
limitations of Code Section 415, the transfer of funds from one qualified plan
to another is not an "annual addition." In addition, the following are not
Employee contributions for the purposes of Section 4.4(d)(1)(b): (1) rollover
contributions (as defined in Code Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8),
408(d)(3) and 457(e)(16)); (2) repayments of loans made to a Participant from
the Plan; (3) repayments of distributions received by an Employee pursuant to
Code Section 411(a)(7)(B) (cash-outs); (4) repayments of distributions received
by an Employee pursuant to Code Section 411(a)(3)(D) (mandatory contributions);
(5) Catch-Up Contributions; and (6) Employee contributions to a simplified
employee pension excludable from gross income under Code Section 408(k)(6).

(d)

Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall be defined
as follows:

(1)

"Annual additions" means the sum credited to a Participant's accounts for any
Limitation Year of (a) "employer" contributions, (b) Employee contributions
(except as provided below), (c) Forfeitures, (d) amounts allocated to an
individual medical benefit account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), which
is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the "employer," (e) amounts
derived from contributions paid or accrued which are attributable to
post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a key
employee (as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit fund
(as defined in Code Section 419(e)) maintained by the "employer" and (f)
allocations under a simplified employee pension. Except, however, the
Compensation percentage limitation referred to in paragraph (e)(7)(ii) shall not
apply to: (1) any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code
Section 419A(f)(2)) after separation from service which is otherwise treated as
an "annual addition," or (2) any amount otherwise treated as an "annual
addition" under Code Section 415(l)(1).

26

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

For this purpose, any "excess amount" applied under Section 4.5 in the
Limitation Year to reduce "employer" contributions shall be considered "annual
additions" for such Limitation Year.

(2)

"Defined contribution dollar limitation" means, effective with respect to
Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 2001, $40,000 as adjusted under
Code Section 415(d).

(3)

"Employer" means, for purposes of this Section and Section 4.5, the Employer
that adopts this Plan and all Affiliated Employers, except that for purposes of
this Section, the determination of whether an entity is an Affiliated Employer
shall be made by applying Code Section 415(h).

(4)

"Excess amount" means the excess of the Participant's "annual additions" for the
Limitation Year over the "maximum permissible amount."

(5)

"Highest average compensation" means the average Compensation for the three (3)
consecutive Years of Service with the "employer" while a Participant in the Plan
that produces the highest average. A Year of Service with the "employer" is the
twelve (12) consecutive month period ending on the last day of the Limitation
Year.

(6)

"Maximum permissible amount" means, except to the extent permitted under this
Plan and Code Section 414(v), effective with respect to Limitation Years
beginning after December 31, 2001, the maximum "annual addition" that may be
contributed or allocated to a Participant's accounts under the Plan for any
Limitation Year, which shall not exceed the lesser of:

(i)

the "defined contribution dollar limitation," or

(ii)

one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's 415 Compensation for the
Limitation Year.

The 415 Compensation Limitation referred to in (ii) shall not apply to any
contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the
meaning of Code Sections 401(h) or 419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an
"annual addition."

If a short Limitation Year is created because of an amendment changing the
Limitation Year to a different twelve (12) consecutive month period, the
"maximum permissible amount" will not exceed the "defined contribution dollar
limitation" multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
months in the short Limitation Year and the denominator of which is twelve (12).

4.5

ADJUSTMENT FOR EXCESSIVE ANNUAL ADDITIONS

Allocation of "annual additions" (as defined in Section 4.4) to a Participant's
Combined Account for a Limitation Year generally will cease once the limits of
Section 4.4 have been reached for such Limitation Year. However, if as a result
of the allocation of Forfeitures, a reasonable error in estimating a
Participant's annual 415 Compensation, a reasonable error in determining the
amount of elective deferrals (within the meaning of Code Section 402(g)(3)) that
may be made with respect to any Participant under the limits of Section 4.4, or
other facts and circumstances to which Regulation Section 1.415-6(b)(6) shall be
applicable, the "annual additions" under this Plan would cause the maximum
provided in Section 4.4 to be exceeded, the "excess amount" will be disposed of
in one of the following manners, as uniformly determined by the Plan
Administrator for all Participants similarly situated:

(a)

Any after-tax voluntary Employee contributions (plus attributable gains), to the
extent they would reduce the "excess amount," will be distributed to the
Participant;

(b)

If, after the application of subparagraph (a), an "excess amount" still exists,
any unmatched Elective Deferrals, and any gains attributable to such Elective
Deferrals, to the extent they would reduce the "excess amount," will be
distributed to the Participant;

(c)

To the extent necessary, matched Elective Deferrals and "employer" matching
contributions will be proportionately reduced from the Participant's Account.
The Elective Deferrals, and any gains attributable to such Elective Deferrals,
will be distributed to the Participant and the "employer" matching
contributions, and any gains attributable to such matching contributions, will
be used to reduce the "employer's" contributions in the next Limitation Year;

(d)

If, after the application of subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c), an "excess amount"
still exists, and the Participant is covered by the Plan at the end of the
Limitation Year, the "excess amount" in the Participant's Account will be used
to reduce "employer" contributions (including any allocation of Forfeitures) for
such Participant in the next Limitation Year, and each succeeding Limitation
Year if necessary;

(e)

If, after the application of subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c), an "excess amount"
still exists, and the Participant is not covered by the Plan at the end of a
Limitation Year, the "excess amount" will be held unallocated in a suspense
account. The suspense account will be applied to reduce future "employer"
contributions (including allocation of any Forfeitures) for all remaining
Participants in the next Limitation Year, and each succeeding Limitation Year if
necessary; and

27

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

(f)

If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a Limitation Year
pursuant to this Section, no investment gains and losses shall be allocated to
such suspense account. If a suspense account is in existence at any time during
a particular Limitation Year, all amounts in the suspense account must be
allocated and reallocated to Participants' Accounts before any "employer"
contributions or any Employee contributions may be made to the Plan for that
Limitation Year. Except as provided in (a), (b) and (c) above, "excess amounts"
may not be distributed to Participants.

4.6

ROLLOVERS

(a)

Acceptance of "rollovers" into the Plan. If elected in the Adoption Agreement
and with the consent of the Administrator (such consent must be exercised in a
nondiscriminatory manner and applied uniformly to all Participants), the Plan
may accept a "rollover," provided the "rollover" will not jeopardize the
tax-exempt status of the Plan or create adverse tax consequences for the
Employer. The amounts rolled over shall be separately accounted for in a
"Participant's Rollover Account." Furthermore, any Roth Elective Deferrals that
are accepted as "rollovers" in this Plan on or after January 1, 2006 shall be
separately accounted for. A Participant's Rollover Account shall be fully Vested
at all times and shall not be subject to forfeiture for any reason. For purposes
of this Section, the term Participant shall include any Eligible Employee who is
not yet a Participant, if, pursuant to the Adoption Agreement, "rollovers" are
permitted to be accepted from Eligible Employees. In addition, for purposes of
this Section the term Participant shall also include former Employees if the
Employer and Administrator consent to accept "rollovers" of distributions made
to former Employees from any plan of the Employer.

(b)

Treatment of "rollovers" under the Plan. Amounts in a Participant's Rollover
Account shall be held by the Trustee (or Insurer) pursuant to the provisions of
this Plan and may not be withdrawn by, or distributed to the Participant, in
whole or in part, except as elected in the Adoption Agreement and subsection (c)
below. The Trustee (or Insurer) shall have no duty or responsibility to inquire
as to the propriety of the amount, value or type of assets transferred, nor to
conduct any due diligence with respect to such assets; provided, however, that
such assets are otherwise eligible to be held by the Trustee (or Insurer) under
the terms of this Plan.

(c)

Distribution of "rollovers." At Normal Retirement Date, or such other date when
the Participant or Eligible Employee or such Participant's or Eligible
Employee's Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive benefits, the Participant's
Rollover Account shall be used to provide additional benefits to the Participant
or the Participant's Beneficiary. Any distribution of amounts held in a
Participant's Rollover Account shall be made in a manner which is consistent
with and satisfies the provisions of Sections 6.5 and 6.6, including, but not
limited to, all notice and consent requirements of Code Sections 411(a)(11) and
417 and the Regulations thereunder. Furthermore, if elected in the Adoption
Agreement, such amounts shall be considered to be part of a Participant's
benefit in determining whether an involuntary cash-out of benefits may be made
without Participant consent.

(d)

"Rollovers" maintained in a separate account. The Administrator may direct that
"rollovers" made after a Valuation Date be segregated into a separate account
for each Participant until such time as the allocations pursuant to this Plan
have been made, at which time they may remain segregated, invested as part of
the general Trust Fund or, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, directed by the
Participant.

(e)

Limits on accepting "rollovers." Prior to accepting any "rollovers" to which
this Section applies, the Administrator may require the Employee to establish
(by providing opinion of counsel or otherwise) that the amounts to be rolled
over to this Plan meet the requirements of this Section. The Employer may
instruct the Administrator, operationally and on a nondiscriminatory basis, to
limit the source of rollover contributions that may be accepted by the Plan.

(f)

Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall
apply:

(1)

A "rollover" means: (i) amounts transferred to this Plan directly from another
"eligible retirement plan;" (ii) distributions received by an Employee from
other "eligible retirement plans" which are eligible for tax-free rollover to an
"eligible retirement plan" and which are transferred by the Employee to this
Plan within sixty (60) days following receipt thereof; and (iii) any other
amounts which are eligible to be rolled over to this Plan pursuant to the Code
or any other federally enacted legislation.

(2)

An "eligible retirement plan" means an individual retirement account described
in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code
Section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract), a qualified trust (an
employees' trust described in Code Section 401(a) which is exempt from tax under
Code Section 501(a)), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), an
eligible deferred compensation plan described in Code Section 457(b) which is
maintained by an eligible employer described in Code Section 457(e)(1)(A), and
an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b).

4.7

PLAN-TO-PLAN TRANSFERS FROM QUALIFIED PLANS

(a)

Transfers into this Plan. With the consent of the Administrator, amounts may be
transferred (within the meaning of Code Section 414(l)) to this Plan from other
tax qualified plans under Code Section 401(a), provided the plan from which such
funds are transferred permits the transfer to be made and the transfer will not
jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the Plan or Trust or create adverse tax
consequences for the Employer. Prior to accepting any transfers to which this
Section applies, the Administrator may require an opinion of counsel that the
amounts to be transferred meet the requirements of this Section. The amounts
transferred shall be set up in a separate account herein referred to as a
"Participant's Transfer Account." Furthermore, for Vesting purposes, the
Participant's Transfer Account shall be treated as a separate "Participant's
Account."

28

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

(b)

Accounting of transfers. Amounts in a Participant's Transfer Account shall be
held by the Trustee (or Insurer) pursuant to the provisions of this Plan and may
not be withdrawn by, or distributed to the Participant, in whole or in part,
except as elected in the Adoption Agreement and subsection (d) below, provided
the restrictions of subsection (c) below and Section 6.16 are satisfied. The
Trustee (or Insurer) shall have no duty or responsibility to inquire as to the
propriety of the amount, value or type of assets transferred, nor to conduct any
due diligence with respect to such assets; provided, however, that such assets
are otherwise eligible to be held by the Trustee (or Insurer) under the terms of
this Plan.

(c)

Restrictions on Elective Deferrals. Except as permitted by Regulations
(including Regulation Section 1.411(d)-4), amounts attributable to elective
contributions (as defined in Regulation Section 1.401(k)-6), including amounts
treated as elective contributions, which are transferred from another qualified
plan in a plan-to-plan transfer (other than a direct rollover) shall be subject
to the distribution limitations provided for in the Code Section 401(k)
Regulations.

(d)

Distribution of plan-to-plan transfer amounts. At Normal Retirement Date, or
such other date when the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary shall be
entitled to receive benefits, the Participant's Transfer Account shall be used
to provide additional benefits to the Participant or the Participant's
Beneficiary. Any distribution of amounts held in a Participant's Transfer
Account shall be made in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the
provisions of Sections 6.5 and 6.6, including, but not limited to, all notice
and consent requirements of Code Sections 411(a)(11) and 417 and the Regulations
thereunder. Furthermore, such amounts shall be considered to be part of a
Participant's benefit in determining whether an involuntary cash-out of benefits
may be made without Participant consent.

(e)

Segregation. The Administrator may direct that Employee transfers made after a
Valuation Date be segregated into a separate account for each Participant until
such time as the allocations pursuant to this Plan have been made, at which time
they may remain segregated, invested as part of the general Trust Fund or, if
elected in the Adoption Agreement, directed by the Participant.

(f)

Protected benefits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a transfer
directly to this Plan from another qualified plan (or a transaction having the
effect of such a transfer) shall only be permitted if it will not result in the
elimination or reduction of any "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefit" as
described in Section 8.1(e).

4.8

AFTER-TAX VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

(a)

Not permitted in Money Purchase or Profit Sharing Plan. Except as provided in
subsection 4.8(b) below, this Plan will not accept after-tax voluntary Employee
contributions. If this is an amendment to a Plan that had previously allowed
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions, then this Plan will not accept
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions for Plan Years beginning after the
Plan Year in which this Plan is adopted by the Employer.

(b)

After-tax voluntary Employee contributions allowed in 401(k) Plans. For 401(k)
Plans, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, each Participant who is eligible to
make Elective Deferrals may, in accordance with nondiscriminatory procedures
established by the Administrator, elect to make after-tax voluntary Employee
contributions to this Plan. Such contributions must generally be paid to the
Trustee (or Insurer) within a reasonable period of time after being received by
the Employer. An after-tax voluntary Employee contribution is any contribution
(other than Roth Elective Deferrals) made to the Plan by or on behalf of a
Participant that is included in the Participant's gross income in the year in
which made and that is separately accounted for under the Plan.

(c)

Full Vesting. The balance in each Participant's Voluntary Contribution Account
shall be fully Vested at all times and shall not be subject to Forfeiture for
any reason.

(d)

Distribution at any time. A Participant may elect at any time to withdraw
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions from such Participant's Voluntary
Contribution Account and the actual earnings thereon in a manner which is
consistent with and satisfies the provisions of Section 6.5, including, but not
limited to, all notice and consent requirements of Code Sections 411(a)(11) and
417 and the Regulations thereunder. If the Administrator maintains sub-accounts
with respect to after-tax voluntary Employee contributions (and earnings
thereon) which were made on or before a specified date, a Participant shall be
permitted to designate which sub-account shall be the source for the withdrawal.
Forfeitures of Employer contributions shall not occur solely as a result of an
Employee's withdrawal of after-tax voluntary Employee contributions.

In the event a Participant has received a hardship distribution under the safe
harbor hardship provisions of the Code Section 401(k) Regulations from any plan
maintained by the Employer, then the Participant shall be barred from making any
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions for a period of twelve (12) months
after receipt of the hardship distribution. However, with respect to Plan Years
beginning on or after December 31, 2002, the suspension period shall be six (6)
months rather than twelve (12) months.

(e)

Used to provide benefits. At Normal Retirement Date, or such other date when the
Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary is entitled to receive benefits,
the Participant's Voluntary Contribution Account shall be used to provide
additional benefits to the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary.

29

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

(f)

Prior mandatory contributions. To the extent a Participant has previously made
mandatory Employee contributions under prior provisions of this Plan, such
contributions will be treated as after-tax voluntary Employee contributions,
except that the provisions of subsection (d) above permitting a distribution at
any time shall not apply to mandatory Employee contributions.

4.9

QUALIFIED VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

(a)

Maintenance of existing QVEC accounts. If this is an amendment to a Plan that
previously permitted deductible voluntary Employee contributions, then each
Participant who made "qualified voluntary Employee contributions" within the
meaning of Code Section 219(e)(2) as it existed prior to the enactment of the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, shall have such contributions held in a separate
Qualified Voluntary Employee Contribution Account which shall be fully Vested at
all times. Such contributions, however, shall not be permitted for taxable years
beginning after December 31, 1986.

(b)

Distribution from QVEC account. A Participant may, upon written request
delivered to the Administrator, make withdrawals from such Participant's
Qualified Voluntary Employee Contribution Account. Any distribution shall be
made in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions of
Section 6.5, including, but not limited to, all notice and consent requirements
of Code Sections 411(a)(11) and 417 and the Regulations thereunder.

(c)

Used to provide benefits. At Normal Retirement Date, or such other date when the
Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary is entitled to receive benefits,
the Qualified Voluntary Employee Contribution Account shall be used to provide
additional benefits to the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary.

4.10

PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS

(a)

Directed Investment Options allowed. If elected in the Adoption Agreement, all
Participants may direct the Trustee (or Insurer) as to the investment of all or
a portion of their individual account balances as set forth in the Adoption
Agreement and within limits set by the Employer. Participants may direct the
Trustee (or Insurer), in writing (or in such other form which is acceptable to
the Trustee (or Insurer)), to invest their accounts in specific assets, specific
funds or other investments permitted under the Plan and the Participant
Direction Procedures. That portion of the account of any Participant that is
subject to investment direction of such Participant will be considered a
Participant Directed Account.

(b)

Establishment of Participant Direction Procedures. The Administrator will
establish Participant Direction Procedures, to be applied in a uniform and
nondiscriminatory manner, setting forth the permissible investment options under
this Section, how often changes between investments may be made, and any other
limitations and provisions that the Administrator may impose on a Participant's
right to direct investments.

(c)

Administrative discretion. The Administrator may, in its discretion, include or
exclude by amendment or other action from the Participant Direction Procedures
such instructions, guidelines or policies as it deems necessary or appropriate
to ensure proper administration of the Plan, and may interpret the same
accordingly.

(d)

Allocation of gains or losses. As of each Valuation Date, all Participant
Directed Accounts shall be charged or credited with the net earnings, gains,
losses and expenses as well as any appreciation or depreciation in the market
value using publicly listed fair market values when available or appropriate as
follows:

(1)

to the extent the assets in a Participant Directed Account are accounted for as
pooled assets or investments, the allocation of earnings, gains and losses of
each Participant's Account shall be based upon the total amount of funds so
invested in a manner proportionate to the Participant's share of such pooled
investment; and

(2)

to the extent the assets in a Participant Directed Account are accounted for as
segregated assets, the allocation of earnings, gains on and losses from such
assets shall be made on a separate and distinct basis.

(e)

Plan will follow investment directions. Investment directions will be processed
as soon as administratively practicable after proper investment directions are
received from the Participant. No guarantee is made by the Plan, Employer,
Administrator or Trustee (or Insurer) that investment directions will be
processed on a daily basis, and no guarantee is made in any respect regarding
the processing time of an investment direction. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, the Employer, Administrator or Trustee (or Insurer)
reserves the right to not value an investment option on any given Valuation Date
for any reason deemed appropriate by the Employer, Administrator or Trustee (or
Insurer). Furthermore, the processing of any investment transaction may be
delayed for any legitimate business reason (including, but not limited to,
failure of systems or computer programs, failure of the means of the
transmission of data, the failure of a service provider to timely receive values
or prices, and correction for errors or omissions or the errors or omissions of
any service provider) or force majeure. The processing date of a transaction
will be binding for all purposes of the Plan and considered the applicable
Valuation Date for an investment transaction.

30

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

(f)

Section 404(c) provisions. If the Employer intends to operate any portion of
this Plan as an Act Section 404(c) plan, the Participant Direction Procedures
should provide an explanation of the circumstances under which Participants and
their Beneficiaries may give investment instructions, including but not limited
to, the following to the extent required under DOL regulations or guidance:

(1)

the conveyance of instructions by the Participants and their Beneficiaries to
invest Participant Directed Accounts in a Directed Investment Option;

(2)

the name, address and phone number of the Fiduciary (and, if applicable, the
person or persons designated by the Fiduciary to act on its behalf) responsible
for providing information to the Participant or a Beneficiary upon request
relating to the Directed Investment Options;

(3)

applicable restrictions on transfers to and from any Designated Investment
Alternative;

(4)

any restrictions on the exercise of voting, tender and similar rights related to
a Directed Investment Option by the Participants or their Beneficiaries;

(5)

a description of any transaction fees and expenses which affect the balances in
Participant Directed Accounts in connection with the purchase or sale of a
Directed Investment Option; and

(6)

general procedures for the dissemination of investment and other information
relating to the Designated Investment Alternatives as deemed necessary or
appropriate, including but not limited to a description of the following:

(i)

the investment vehicles available under the Plan, including specific information
regarding any Designated Investment Alternative;

(ii)

any designated Investment Managers; and

(iii)

a description of the additional information that may be obtained upon request
from the Fiduciary designated to provide such information.

(g)

Other documents required by Directed Investments. Any information regarding
investments available under the Plan, to the extent not required to be described
in the Participant Direction Procedures, may be provided to Participants in one
or more documents (or in any other form, including, but not limited to,
electronic media) which are separate from the Participant Direction Procedures
and are not thereby incorporated by reference into this Plan.

4.11

INTEGRATION IN MORE THAN ONE PLAN

If the Employer maintains qualified retirement plans that provide for permitted
disparity (integration), the provisions of Section 4.3(b)(2) will apply.

4.12

QUALIFIED MILITARY SERVICE

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan to the contrary, contributions,
benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be
provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u). Furthermore, loan repayments
may be suspended under this Plan as permitted under Code Section 414(u)(4).

ARTICLE V

VALUATIONS

5.1

VALUATION OF THE TRUST FUND

The Administrator shall direct the Trustee (or Insurer), as of each Valuation
Date, to determine the net worth of the assets comprising the Trust Fund as it
exists on the Valuation Date. In determining such net worth, the Trustee (or
Insurer) shall value the assets comprising the Trust Fund at their fair market
value as of the Valuation Date and may deduct all expenses for which the Trustee
(or Insurer) has not yet been paid by the Employer or the Trust Fund. The
Trustee (or Insurer), when determining the net worth of the assets, may update
the value of any shares held in a Participant Directed Account by reference to
the number of shares held on behalf of the Participant, priced at the market
value as of the Valuation Date.

5.2

METHOD OF VALUATION

In determining the fair market value of securities held in the Trust Fund which
are listed on a registered stock exchange, the Administrator shall direct the
Trustee (or Insurer) to value the same at the prices they were last traded on
such exchange preceding the close of business on the Valuation Date. If such
securities were not traded on the Valuation Date, or if the exchange on which
they are traded was not open for business on the Valuation Date, then the
securities shall be valued at the prices at which they were last traded prior to
the Valuation Date. Any unlisted security held in the Trust Fund shall be valued
at its bid price next preceding the close of business on the Valuation Date,
which bid price shall be obtained from a registered broker or an investment
banker. In determining the fair market value of assets other than securities for
which trading or bid prices can be obtained, the Trustee (or Insurer) may
appraise such assets itself (assuming it has the appropriate expertise), or in
its discretion, employ one or more appraisers for that purpose and rely on the
values

31

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

established by such appraiser or appraisers.

ARTICLE VI

DETERMINATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

6.1

DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS UPON RETIREMENT

Every Participant may terminate employment with the Employer and retire for
purposes hereof on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date or Early Retirement
Date. However, a Participant may postpone the termination of employment with the
Employer to a later date, in which event the participation of such Participant
in the Plan, including the right to receive allocations pursuant to Section 4.3,
shall continue until such Participant's Retirement Date. Upon a Participant's
Retirement Date, or if elected in the Adoption Agreement, the attainment of
Normal Retirement Date without termination of employment with the Employer
(subject to Section 12.2(d)), or as soon thereafter as is practicable, the
Administrator shall direct the distribution, at the election of the Participant,
of the Participant's entire Vested interest in the Plan in accordance with
Section 6.5.

6.2

DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS UPON DEATH

(a)

100% Vesting on death. Upon the death of a Participant before the Participant's
Retirement Date or other termination of employment, all amounts credited to such
Participant's Combined Account shall, if elected in the Adoption Agreement,
become fully Vested. The Administrator shall direct, in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 6.6 and 6.7, the distribution of the deceased
Participant's Vested accounts to the Participant's Beneficiary.

(b)

Distribution upon death. Upon the death of a Participant, the Administrator
shall direct, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.6 and 6.7, the
distribution of any remaining Vested amounts credited to the accounts of such
deceased Participant to such Participant's Beneficiary.

(c)

Determination of death benefit by Administrator. The Administrator may require
such proper proof of death and such evidence of the right of any person to
receive payment of the value of the account of a deceased Participant as the
Administrator may deem desirable. The Administrator's determination of death and
of the right of any person to receive payment shall be conclusive.

(d)

Beneficiary designation. Unless otherwise elected in the manner prescribed in
Section 6.6, the Beneficiary of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity shall be the
Participant's surviving spouse. Except, however, the Participant may designate a
Beneficiary other than the spouse for the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity if:

(1)

the Participant and the Participant's spouse have validly waived the
Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity in the manner prescribed in Section 6.6, and the
spouse has waived the right to be the Participant's Beneficiary,

(2)

the Participant is legally separated or has been abandoned (within the meaning
of local law) and the Participant has a court order to such effect (and there is
no "qualified domestic relations order" as defined in Code Section 414(p) which
provides otherwise),

(3)

the Participant has no spouse, or

(4)

the spouse cannot be located.

In such event, the designation of a Beneficiary shall be made on a form
satisfactory to the Administrator. A Participant may at any time revoke a
designation of a Beneficiary or change a Beneficiary by filing written (or in
such other form as permitted by the IRS) notice of such revocation or change
with the Administrator. However, the Participant's spouse must again consent in
writing (or in such other form as permitted by the IRS) to any change in
Beneficiary unless the original consent acknowledged that the spouse had the
right to limit consent only to a specific Beneficiary and that the spouse
voluntarily elected to relinquish such right.

(e)

Beneficiary if no Beneficiary elected by Participant. A Participant may, at any
time, designate a Beneficiary for death benefits, if any, payable under the Plan
that are in excess of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity without the waiver or
consent of the Participant's spouse. In the event no valid designation of
Beneficiary exists, or if the Beneficiary with respect to a portion of a
Participant's death benefit is not alive at the time of the Participant's death
and no contingent Beneficiary has been designated, then such portion of the
death benefit will be paid in the following order of priority, unless the
Employer specifies a different order of priority in Appendix A to the Adoption
Agreement (Other Permitted Elections), to:

(1)

The Participant's surviving spouse;

(2)

The Participant's children, including adopted children, per stirpes;

32

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

(3)

The Participant's surviving parents, in equal shares; or

(4)

The Participant's estate.

If the Beneficiary does not predecease the Participant, but dies prior to
distribution of the death benefit, the death benefit will be paid to the
Beneficiary's "designated Beneficiary" (or if there is no "designated
Beneficiary," to the Beneficiary's estate).

(f)

Divorce revokes spousal Beneficiary designation. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section to the contrary, if a Participant has designated the spouse as a
Beneficiary, then a divorce decree or a legal separation that relates to such
spouse shall revoke the Participant's designation of the spouse as a Beneficiary
unless the decree or a "qualified domestic relations order" (within the meaning
of Code Section 414(p)) provides otherwise or a subsequent Beneficiary
designation is made.

(g)

Insured death benefit. If the Plan provides an insured death benefit and a
Participant dies before any insurance coverage to which the Participant is
entitled under the Plan is effected, the death benefit from such insurance
coverage shall be limited to the premium which was or otherwise would have been
used for such purpose.

(h)

Plan terms control. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Plan
and the terms of any Contract issued hereunder, the Plan provisions shall
control.

6.3

DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS IN EVENT OF DISABILITY

In the event of a Participant's Total and Permanent Disability prior to the
Participant's Retirement Date or other termination of employment, all amounts
credited to such Participant's Combined Account shall, if elected in the
Adoption Agreement, become fully Vested. In the event of a Participant's Total
and Permanent Disability, the Administrator, in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 6.5 and 6.7, shall direct the distribution to such Participant of
the entire Vested interest in the Plan.

6.4

DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION

(a)

Payment on termination of employment. If a Participant's employment with the
Employer is terminated for any reason other than death, Total and Permanent
Disability, or retirement, then such Participant shall be entitled to such
benefits as are provided herein.

Distribution of the funds due to a Terminated Participant shall be made on the
occurrence of an event which would result in the distribution had the Terminated
Participant remained in the employ of the Employer (upon the Participant's
death, Total and Permanent Disability, Early or Normal Retirement). However, at
the election of the Participant, the Administrator shall direct that the entire
Vested portion of the Terminated Participant's Combined Account be payable to
such Terminated Participant provided the conditions, if any, set forth in the
Adoption Agreement have been satisfied. Any distribution under this paragraph
shall be made in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions
of Section 6.5, including but not limited to, all notice and consent
requirements of Code Sections 411(a)(11) and 417 and the Regulations thereunder.

Regardless of whether distributions in kind are permitted, in the event the
amount of the Vested portion of the Terminated Participant's Combined Account
equals or exceeds the fair market value of any insurance Contracts, the Trustee
(or Insurer), when so directed by the Administrator and agreed to by the
Terminated Participant, shall assign, transfer, and set over to such Terminated
Participant all Contracts on such Terminated Participant's life in such form or
with such endorsements, so that the settlement options and forms of payment are
consistent with the provisions of Section 6.5. In the event that the Terminated
Participant's Vested portion does not at least equal the fair market value of
the Contracts, if any, the Terminated Participant may pay over to the Trustee
(or Insurer) the sum needed to make the distribution equal to the value of the
Contracts being assigned or transferred, or the Trustee (or Insurer), pursuant
to the Participant's election, may borrow the cash value of the Contracts from
the Insurer so that the value of the Contracts is equal to the Vested portion of
the Terminated Participant's Combined Account and then assign the Contracts to
the Terminated Participant.

Notwithstanding the above, unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement,
if the value of a Terminated Participant's Vested benefit derived from Employer
and Employee contributions does not exceed $5,000 (or such lower amount as
elected in the Adoption Agreement), the Administrator shall direct that the
entire Vested benefit be paid to such Participant in a single lump-sum as soon
as practical without regard to the consent of the Participant, provided the
conditions, if any, set forth in the Adoption Agreement have been satisfied. A
Participant's Vested benefit shall not include (1) Qualified Voluntary Employee
Contributions within the meaning of Code Section 72(o)(5)(B) and (2) if selected
in the Conditions for Distributions Upon Termination of Employment Section of
the Adoption Agreement, the Participant's Rollover Account. Effective with
respect to distributions made on or after March 28, 2005, or such later date as
elected in the Adoption Agreement, if a mandatory distribution is made pursuant
to this paragraph and such distribution is greater than $1,000 and the
Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an
"eligible retirement plan" specified by the Participant in a "direct rollover"
in accordance with Section 6.15 or to receive the distribution directly, then
the Administrator shall transfer such amount to an individual retirement account
described in Code Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described
in Code Section 408(b) designated by the Administrator. However, if the
Participant elects to receive or make a "direct rollover" of such amount, then
the Administrator shall direct the Trustee (or Insurer) to cause the entire
Vested benefit to be paid to such Participant in a single lump sum, or make a
"direct rollover" pursuant to Section 6.15, provided the conditions, if any, set
forth in the Adoption Agreement have been satisfied.

33

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

(b)

Vesting schedule. The Vested portion of any Participant's Account shall be a
percentage of such Participant's Account determined on the basis of the
Participant's number of Years of Service (or Periods of Service if the Elapsed
Time method is elected) according to the vesting schedule specified in the
Adoption Agreement. However, a Participant's entire interest in the Plan shall
be non-forfeitable upon the Participant's Normal Retirement Age (if the
Participant is employed by the Employer on or after such date).

(c)

EGTRRA matching vesting schedule. For Plan Years beginning after December 31,
2001, if the Employer maintained a vesting schedule for matching contributions
that did not comply with Code Section 411(a)(2), then the matching contribution
vesting schedule selected in the Adoption Agreement shall apply to Participants
who complete an Hour of Service in a Plan Year beginning after December 31,
2001, unless a provision was adopted to have the vesting schedule apply to all
Participants. However, if specified in the Adoption Agreement, the matching
contribution vesting schedule set forth in the Adoption Agreement shall only
apply to the portion of the Participant's Account attributable to matching
contributions made after December 31, 2001 and matching contributions made prior
to the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001 will
vest in accordance with the vesting schedule then in effect.

(d)

Top-Heavy vesting schedule. For any Top-Heavy Plan Year, the minimum top-heavy
vesting schedule elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement will
automatically apply to the Plan. The minimum top-heavy vesting schedule applies
to all benefits within the meaning of Code Section 411(a)(7) except those
attributable to Employee contributions, including benefits accrued before the
effective date of Code Section 416 and benefits accrued before the Plan became
top-heavy. Further, no decrease in a Participant's Vested percentage shall occur
in the event the Plan's status as top-heavy changes for any Plan Year. However,
this Section does not apply to the account balances of any Employee who does not
have an Hour of Service after the Plan has initially become top-heavy and the
Vested percentage of such Employee's Participant's Account shall be determined
without regard to this Section 6.4(d).

If in any subsequent Plan Year the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan, then
unless a specific Plan amendment is made to provide otherwise, the Administrator
will continue to use the vesting schedule in effect while the Plan was a
Top-Heavy Plan.

(e)

100% Vesting on partial or full Plan termination. Upon the complete
discontinuance of the Employer's contributions to the Plan (if this is a profit
sharing plan) or upon any full or partial termination of the Plan, all amounts
then credited to the account of any affected Participant shall become 100%
Vested and shall not thereafter be subject to Forfeiture.

(f)

No reduction in Vested percentage due to change in vesting schedule. If this is
an amended or restated Plan, then notwithstanding the vesting schedule specified
in the Adoption Agreement, the Vested percentage of a Participant's Account
shall not be less than the Vested percentage attained as of the later of the
Effective Date or adoption date of this amendment and restatement. The
computation of a Participant's nonforfeitable percentage of such Participant's
interest in the Plan shall not be reduced as the result of any direct or
indirect amendment to this Article, or due to changes in the Plan's status as a
Top-Heavy Plan. Furthermore, if the Plan's vesting schedule is amended
(including a change in the calculation of Years of Service or Periods or
Service), then the amended schedule will only apply to those Participants who
complete an Hour of Service after the effective date of the amendment.

(g)

Continuation of old schedule if 3 Years of Service. If the Plan's vesting
schedule is amended, or if the Plan is amended in any way that directly or
indirectly affects the computation of the Participant's nonforfeitable
percentage or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to a
top-heavy vesting schedule, then each Participant with at least three (3) Years
of Service (or Periods of Service if the Elapsed Time method is elected) as of
the expiration date of the election period may elect to have such Participant's
nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such
amendment or change. If a Participant fails to make such election, then such
Participant shall be subject to the new vesting schedule. The Participant's
election period shall commence on the adoption date of the amendment, or deemed
adoption date, and shall end sixty (60) days after the latest of:

(1)

the adoption date, or deemed adoption date, of the amendment,

(2)

the effective date of the amendment, or

(3)

the date the Participant receives written notice of the amendment from the
Employer or Administrator.

(h)

Excludable service for Vesting. In determining Years of Service or Periods of
Service for purposes of vesting under the Plan, Years of Service or Periods of
Service shall be excluded as elected in the Adoption Agreement.

6.5

DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

(a)

Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.

(1)

Unless otherwise elected as provided below, a Participant who is married on the
Annuity Starting Date and who does not die before the Annuity Starting Date
shall receive the value of all Plan benefits in the form of a Joint and Survivor
Annuity. The Joint and Survivor Annuity is an annuity that commences immediately
and shall be equal in value to a single life annuity. Such joint and survivor
benefits following the Participant's death shall continue to the "spouse" during
the "spouse's" lifetime at a rate equal to either fifty percent (50%),
seventy-five percent (75%) (or, sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) if
the Insurer used to provide the annuity does not offer a joint and seventy-five
percent (75%) annuity), or one hundred percent (100%) of the rate at

34

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

which such benefits were payable to the Participant. Unless otherwise elected in
the Adoption Agreement, a joint and fifty percent (50%) survivor annuity shall
be considered the designated qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and the normal
form of payment for the purposes of this Plan. However, the Participant may,
without spousal consent, elect an alternative Joint and Survivor Annuity, which
alternative shall be equal in value to the designated qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity. An unmarried Participant shall receive the value of such
Participant's benefit in the form of a life annuity. Such unmarried Participant,
however, may elect to waive the life annuity. The election must comply with the
provisions of this Section as if it were an election to waive the Joint and
Survivor Annuity by a married Participant, but without fulfilling the spousal
consent requirement. The Participant may elect to have any annuity provided for
in this Section distributed upon the attainment of the "earliest retirement age"
under the Plan. The "earliest retirement age" is the earliest date on which,
under the Plan, the Participant could elect to receive retirement benefits.

(2)

Any election to waive the Joint and Survivor Annuity must be made by the
Participant in writing (or in such other form as permitted by the IRS) during
the election period and be consented to in writing (or in such other form as
permitted by the IRS) by the Participant's "spouse." If the "spouse" is legally
incompetent to give consent, the "spouse's" legal guardian, even if such
guardian is the Participant, may give consent. Such election shall designate a
Beneficiary (or a form of benefits) that may not be changed without spousal
consent (unless the consent of the "spouse" expressly permits designations by
the Participant without the requirement of further consent by the "spouse").
Such "spouse's" consent shall be irrevocable and must acknowledge the effect of
such election and be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. Such
consent shall not be required if it is established to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that the required consent cannot be obtained because there is no
"spouse," the "spouse" cannot be located, or other circumstances that may be
prescribed by Regulations. The election made by the Participant and consented to
by such Participant's "spouse" may be revoked by the Participant in writing (or
in such other form as permitted by the IRS) without the consent of the "spouse"
at any time during the election period. A revocation of a prior election shall
cause the Participant's benefits to be distributed as a Joint and Survivor
Annuity. The number of revocations shall not be limited. Any new election must
comply with the requirements of this paragraph. A former "spouse's" waiver shall
not be binding on a new "spouse."

(3)

The election period to waive the Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be the ninety
(90) day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date.

(4)

For purposes of this Section and Section 6.6, "spouse" or "surviving spouse"
means the spouse or surviving spouse of the Participant, provided that a former
spouse will be treated as the spouse or surviving spouse and a current spouse
will not be treated as the spouse or surviving spouse to the extent provided
under a "qualified domestic relations order" as described in Code Section
414(p).

(5)

With regard to the election, except as otherwise provided herein, the
Administrator shall provide to the Participant no less than thirty (30) days and
no more than ninety (90) days before the Annuity Starting Date a written (or
such other form as permitted by the IRS) explanation of:

(i)

the terms and conditions of the Joint and Survivor Annuity,

(ii)

the Participant's right to make and the effect of an election to waive the Joint
and Survivor Annuity,

(iii)

the right of the Participant's "spouse" to consent to any election to waive the
Joint and Survivor Annuity, and

(iv)

the right of the Participant to revoke such election, and the effect of such
revocation.

(6)

Any distribution provided for in this Section may commence less than thirty (30)
days after the notice required by Code Section 417(a)(3) is given provided the
following requirements are satisfied:

(i)

the Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a
right to a period of thirty (30) days after receiving the notice to consider
whether to waive the Joint and Survivor Annuity and to elect (with spousal
consent) a form of distribution other than a Joint and Survivor Annuity;

(ii)

the Participant is permitted to revoke any affirmative distribution election at
least until the Annuity Starting Date or, if later, at any time prior to the
expiration of the seven (7) day period that begins the day after the explanation
of the Joint and Survivor Annuity is provided to the Participant;

(iii)

the Annuity Starting Date is after the time that the explanation of the Joint
and Survivor Annuity is provided to the Participant. However, the Annuity
Starting Date may be before the date that any affirmative distribution election
is made by the Participant and before the date that the distribution is
permitted to commence under (iv) below; and

(iv)

distribution in accordance with the affirmative election does not commence
before the expiration of the seven (7) day period that begins the day after the
explanation of the Joint and Survivor Annuity is provided to the Participant.

35

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

(b)

Alternative forms of distributions. In the event a married Participant duly
elects pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) above not to receive the benefit in the form
of a Joint and Survivor Annuity, or if such Participant is not married, in the
form of a life annuity, the Administrator, pursuant to the election of the
Participant, shall direct the distribution to a Participant or Beneficiary any
amount to which the Participant or Beneficiary is entitled under the Plan in one
or more of the following methods which are permitted pursuant to the Adoption
Agreement.

(1)

One lump-sum payment in cash or in property, provided that if a distribution of
property is permitted, it shall be limited to property that is specifically
allocated and identifiable with respect to such Participant.

(2)

Partial withdrawals.

(3)

Payments over a period certain in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual
cash installments. The period over which such payment is to be made shall not
extend beyond the earlier of the Participant's life expectancy (or the joint
life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's designated
Beneficiary).

(4)

Purchase of or providing an annuity. However, such annuity may not be in any
form that will provide for payments over a period extending beyond either the
life of the Participant (or the lives of the Participant and the Participant's
designated Beneficiary) or the life expectancy of the Participant (or the life
expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's designated Beneficiary).

(c)

Consent to distributions. Benefits may not be paid without the Participant's and
the Participant's "spouse's" consent if the present value of the Participant's
Joint and Survivor Annuity derived from Employer and Employee contributions
exceeds $5,000 and the benefit is "immediately distributable." However, spousal
consent is not required if the distribution will be made in the form of a
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and the benefit is "immediately
distributable." A benefit is "immediately distributable" if any part of the
benefit could be distributed to the Participant (or "surviving spouse") before
the Participant attains (or would have attained if not deceased) the later of
the Participant's Normal Retirement Age or age 62.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of the Participant's benefit derived
from Employer and Employee contributions does not exceed $5,000, then the
Administrator will distribute such benefit in a lump-sum. No distribution may be
made under the preceding sentence after the Annuity Starting Date unless the
Participant and the Participant's "spouse" consent in writing (or in such other
form as permitted by the IRS) to such distribution. Any consent required under
this paragraph must be obtained not more than ninety (90) days before
commencement of the distribution and shall be made in a manner consistent with
Section 6.5(a)(2).

For purposes of this subsection, the Participant's benefit derived from Employer
and Employee contributions shall not include:

(1) the Participant's Qualified Voluntary Contribution Account, and (2) if
selected in the Conditions for Distributions Upon Termination of Employment
Section of the Adoption Agreement, the Participant's Rollover Account.

(d)

Obtaining consent. The following rules will apply with respect to the consent
requirements set forth in subsection (c):

(1)

No consent shall be valid unless the Participant has received a general
description of the material features and an explanation of the relative values
of the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan that would satisfy the
notice requirements of Code Section 417;

(2)

The Participant must be informed of the right to defer receipt of the
distribution. If a Participant fails to consent, it shall be deemed an election
to defer the commencement of payment of any benefit. However, any election to
defer the receipt of benefits shall not apply with respect to distributions that
are required under Section 6.8;

(3)

Notice of the rights specified under this paragraph shall be provided no less
than thirty (30) days and no more than ninety (90) days before the Annuity
Starting Date;

(4)

Written (or such other form as permitted by the IRS) consent of the Participant
to the distribution must not be made before the Participant receives the notice
and must not be made more than ninety (90) days before the Annuity Starting
Date; and

(5)

No consent shall be valid if a significant detriment is imposed under the Plan
on any Participant who does not consent to the distribution.

(e)

Required minimum distributions (Code Section 401(a)(9)). Notwithstanding any
provision in the Plan to the contrary, the distribution of a Participant's
benefits, whether under the Plan or through the purchase of an annuity Contract,
shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.8.

(f)

Annuity Contracts. All annuity Contracts under this Plan shall be
non-transferable when distributed. Furthermore, the terms of any annuity
Contract purchased and distributed to a Participant or "spouse" shall comply
with all of the requirements of this Plan.

(g)

TEFRA 242(b)(2) election. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to
distributions made in accordance with Plan Section 6.8(a)(5).

36

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

(h)

Distribution from partially Vested account. If a distribution is made to a
Participant who has not severed employment and who is not fully Vested in the
Participant's Account, and the Participant may increase the Vested percentage in
such account, then at any relevant time the Participant's Vested portion of the
account will be equal to an amount ("X") determined by the formula:

X equals P (AB plus D) - D

For purposes of applying the formula: P is the Vested percentage at the relevant
time, AB is the account balance at the relevant time, D is the amount of
distribution, and the relevant time is the time at which, under the Plan, the
Vested percentage in the account cannot increase.

However, the Employer may elect, in Appendix A to the Adoption Agreement (Other
Permitted Elections), to provide that a separate account shall be established
for the Participant's interest in the Plan as of the time of the distribution,
and at any relevant time the Participant's Vested portion of the separate
account will be equal to an amount determined as follows: P (AB plus (R x D)) -
(R x D) where R is the ratio of the account balance at the relevant time to the
account balance after distribution and the other terms have the same meaning as
in the preceding paragraph.

(i)

Transition rules.

(1)

Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who would
otherwise not receive the benefits prescribed by the previous subsections of
this Section must be given the opportunity to elect to have such prior
subsections apply if such participant is credited with at least one Hour of
Service under this Plan or a predecessor plan in a plan year beginning on or
after January 1, 1976, and such Participant had at least ten (10) years of
vesting service when he or she separated from service.

(2)

Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who was
credited with at least one Hour of Service under this Plan or a predecessor plan
on or after September 2, 1974, and who is not otherwise credited with any
service in a plan year beginning on or after January 1, 1976, must be given the
opportunity to have his or her benefits paid in accordance with Subsection (4)
below.

(3)

The respective opportunities to elect (as described in Subsections (1) and (2)
above) must be afforded to the appropriate Participants during the period
commencing on August 23, 1984, and ending on the date benefits would otherwise
commence to said Participants.

(4)

Any Participant who has elected pursuant to Subsection (2) above and any
Participant who does not elect under Subsection (1) or who meets the
requirements of Subsection (1) except that such Participant does not have at
least ten (10) years of vesting service when he or she separates from service,
shall have his or her benefits distributed in accordance with all of the
following requirements if benefits would have been payable in the form of a life
annuity:

(a)

If benefits in the form of a life annuity become payable to a married
Participant who:

(1)

begins to receive payments under the plan on or after Normal Retirement Age; or

(2)

dies on or after Normal Retirement Age while still working for the Employer; or

(3)

begins to receive payments on or after the "qualified early retirement age"; or

(4)

separates from service on or after attaining Normal Retirement Age (or the
"qualified early retirement age") and after satisfying the eligibility
requirements for the payment of benefits under the Plan and thereafter dies
before beginning to receive such benefits;

then such benefits will be received under this Plan in the form of a Qualified
Joint and Survivor Annuity, unless the Participant has elected otherwise during
the election period. The election period must begin at least six (6) months
before the Participant attains "qualified early retirement age" and end not more
than ninety (90) days before the commencement of benefits. Any election
hereunder will be in writing and may be changed by the Participant at any time.

(b)

A Participant who is employed after attaining the "qualified early retirement
age" will be given the opportunity to elect, during the election period, to have
a survivor annuity payable on death. If the Participant elects the survivor
annuity, payments under such annuity must not be less than the payments which
would have been made to the "spouse" under the Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity if the Participant had retired on the day before his or her death. Any
election under this provision will be in writing and may be changed by the
Participant at any time. The election period begins on the later of (1) the 90th
day before the Participant attains the "qualified early retirement age," or (2)
the date on which Participation begins, and ends on the date the Participant
terminates employment.

37

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

(c)

For purposes of this Subsection, the "qualified early retirement age" means the
latest of: (i) the earliest date, under the Plan, on which the Participant may
elect to receive retirement benefits, (ii) the first day of the 120th month
beginning before the Participant reaches Normal Retirement Age, or (iii) the
date the Participant begins participation.

6.6

DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS UPON DEATH

(a)

Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity (QPSA). Unless otherwise elected as
provided below, a Vested Participant who dies before the Annuity Starting Date
and who has a "surviving spouse" shall have the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity
paid to the "surviving spouse." The Participant's "spouse" may direct that
payment of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity commence within a reasonable
period after the Participant's death. If the "spouse" does not so direct,
payment of such benefit will commence at the time the Participant would have
attained the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62. However, the "spouse" may
elect a later commencement date. Any distribution to the Participant's "spouse"
shall be subject to the rules specified in Section 6.8.

(b)

Election to waive QPSA. Any election to waive the Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity before the Participant's death must be made by the Participant in
writing (or in such other form as permitted by the IRS) during the election
period and shall require the "spouse's" irrevocable consent in the same manner
provided for in Section 6.5(a)(2). Further, the "spouse's" consent must
acknowledge the specific nonspouse Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the nonspouse Beneficiary need not be acknowledged, provided the consent of the
"spouse" acknowledges that the "spouse" has the right to limit consent only to a
specific Beneficiary and that the "spouse" voluntarily elects to relinquish such
right.

(c)

Time to waive QPSA. The election period to waive the Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity shall begin on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant
attains age 35 and end on the date of the Participant's death. An earlier waiver
(with "spousal" consent) may be made provided a written (or such other form as
permitted by the IRS) explanation of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity is
given to the Participant and such waiver becomes invalid at the beginning of the
Plan Year in which the Participant turns age 35. In the event a Participant
separates from service prior to the beginning of the election period, the
election period shall begin on the date of such separation from service.

(d)

QPSA notice. With regard to the election, the Administrator shall provide each
Participant within the applicable election period, with respect to such
Participant (and consistent with Regulations), a written (or such other form as
permitted by the IRS) explanation of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity
containing comparable information to that required pursuant to Section
6.5(a)(5). For the purposes of this paragraph, the term "applicable period"
means, with respect to a Participant, whichever of the following periods ends
last:

(1)

The period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the
Participant attains age 32 and ending with the close of the Plan Year preceding
the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35;

(2)

A reasonable period after the individual becomes a Participant;

(3)

A reasonable period ending after the Plan no longer fully subsidizes the cost of
the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity with respect to the Participant; or

(4)

A reasonable period ending after Code Section 401(a)(11) applies to the
Participant.

For purposes of applying this subsection, a reasonable period ending after the
enumerated events described in (2), (3) and (4) is the end of the two (2) year
period beginning one (1) year prior to the date the applicable event occurs, and
ending one (1) year after that date. In the case of a Participant who separates
from service before the Plan Year in which age 35 is attained, notice shall be
provided within the two (2) year period beginning one (1) year prior to
separation and ending one (1) year after separation. If such a Participant
thereafter returns to employment with the Employer, the "applicable period" for
such Participant shall be redetermined.

(e)

Pre-REA. The Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity provided for in this Section shall
apply only to Participants who are credited with an Hour of Service on or after
August 23, 1984. Participants who are not credited with an Hour of Service on or
after August 23, 1984, shall be provided with rights to the Pre-Retirement
Survivor Annuity in accordance with Section 303(e)(2) of the Retirement Equity
Act of 1984.

(f)

Consent. If the value of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity derived from
Employer and Employee contributions does not exceed, and has never exceeded at
the time of any prior distribution, $5,000, the Administrator shall direct the
distribution of such amount to the Participant's "spouse" in a single lump-sum
as soon as practicable. No distribution may be made under the preceding sentence
after the Annuity Starting Date unless the "spouse" consents in writing (or in
such other form as permitted by the IRS). If the value exceeds $5,000, an
immediate distribution of the entire amount may be made to the "surviving
spouse," provided such "surviving spouse" consents in writing (or in such other
form as permitted by the IRS) to such distribution. Any consent required under
this paragraph must be obtained not more than ninety (90) days before
commencement of the distribution and shall be made in a manner consistent with
Section 6.5(a)(2).

38

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

(g)

Alternative forms of distribution. Death benefits may be paid to a Participant's
Beneficiary in one of the following optional forms of benefits subject to the
rules specified in Section 6.8 and the elections made in the Adoption Agreement.
Such optional forms of distributions may be elected by the Participant in the
event there is an election to waive the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity, and for
any death benefits in excess of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity. However, if
no optional form of distribution was elected by the Participant prior to death,
then the Participant's Beneficiary may elect the form of distribution.

(1)

One lump-sum payment in cash or in property that is allocated to the accounts of
the Participant at the time of the distribution.

(2)

Partial withdrawals.

(3)

Payment in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual cash installments over a
period to be determined by the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary. In
order to provide such installment payments, the Administrator may (A) segregate
the aggregate amount thereof in a separate, federally insured savings account,
certificate of deposit in a bank or savings and loan association, money market
certificate or other liquid short-term security or (B) purchase a
nontransferable annuity Contract for a term certain (with no life contingencies)
providing for such payment. After periodic installments commence, the
Beneficiary shall have the right to reduce the period over which such periodic
installments shall be made, and the cash amount of such periodic installments
shall be adjusted accordingly.

4)

In the form of an annuity over the life expectancy of the Beneficiary.

(5)

If death benefits in excess of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity are to be
paid to the "surviving spouse," such benefits may be paid pursuant to (1), (2)
or (3) above, or used to purchase an annuity so as to increase the payments made
pursuant to the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity.

(h)

Required minimum distributions (Code Section 401(a)(9)). Notwithstanding any
provision in the Plan to the contrary, distributions upon the death of a
Participant shall comply with the requirements of Section 6.8.

(i)

Payment to a child. For purposes of this Section, any amount paid to a child of
the Participant will be treated as if it had been paid to the "surviving spouse"
if the amount becomes payable to the "surviving spouse" when the child reaches
the age of majority.

(j)

Voluntary Contribution Account. In the event that less than one hundred percent
(100%) of a Participant's interest in the Plan is distributed to such
Participant's "spouse," the portion of the distribution attributable to the
Participant's Voluntary Contribution Account shall be in the same proportion
that the Participant's Voluntary Contribution Account bears to the Participant's
total interest in the Plan.

(k)

TEFRA 242(b)(2) election. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to
distributions made in accordance with Plan Section 6.8(a)(5).

6.7

TIME OF DISTRIBUTION

Except as limited by Section 6.8, whenever a distribution is to be made, or a
series of payments are to commence, the distribution or series of payments may
be made or begun as soon as practicable. However, unless a Participant elects in
writing to defer the receipt of benefits (such election may not result in a
death benefit that is more than incidental), the payment of benefits shall begin
not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the following events occurs: (a) the date on which the Participant
attains the earlier of age 65 or the Normal Retirement Age specified herein; (b)
the tenth (10th) anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced
participation in the Plan; or (c) the date the Participant terminates service
with the Employer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of a Participant and, if applicable,
the Participant's spouse, to consent to a distribution that is "immediately
distributable" (within the meaning of Section 6.5(c)), shall be deemed to be an
election to defer the commencement of payment of any benefit sufficient to
satisfy this Section.

6.8

REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS

(a)

General rules

(1)

Effective Date. Subject to the Joint and Survivor Annuity requirements set forth
in Plan Section 6.5, the requirements of this Section shall apply to any
distribution of a Participant's interest in the Plan and will take precedence
over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan. Unless a later effective date is
specified in the Adoption Agreement, the provisions of this Section will apply
for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years
beginning after December 31, 2001.

(2)

Coordination with minimum distribution requirements previously in effect. If the
"effective date" of this amendment is earlier than calendar years beginning with
the 2003 calendar year, required minimum distributions for 2002 under this
Section will be determined as follows. If the total amount of 2002 required
minimum distributions under the Plan made to the distributee

39

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

prior to the "effective date" of this Section equals or exceeds the required
minimum distributions determined under this Section, then no additional
distributions will be required to be made for 2002 on or after such date to the
distributee. If the total amount of 2002 required minimum distributions under
the Plan made to the distributee prior to the "effective date" of this Section
is less than the amount determined under this amendment, then required minimum
distributions for 2002 on and after such date will be determined so that the
total amount of required minimum distributions for 2002 made to the distributee
will be the amount determined under this Section.

(3)

Requirements of Treasury Regulations incorporated. All distributions required
under this Section will be determined and made in accordance with the
Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9) and the minimum distribution incidental
benefit requirement of Code Section 401(a)(9)(G).

(4)

Limits on distribution periods. As of the first distribution calendar year,
distributions to a Participant may only be made in accordance with the
selections made in the Form of Distributions Section of the Adoption Agreement.
If such distributions are not made in a single-sum, then they may only be made
over one of the following periods: (i) the life of the Participant, (ii) the
joint lives of the Participant and a "designated Beneficiary," (iii) a period
certain not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Participant, or (iv) a
period certain not extending beyond the joint life and last survivor expectancy
of the Participant and a "designated Beneficiary."

(5)

TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) elections.

(i)

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, other than the spouse's
right of consent afforded under the Plan, distributions may be made on behalf of
any Participant, including a five percent (5%) owner, who has made a designation
in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility
Act (TEFRA) and in accordance with all of the following requirements (regardless
of when such distribution commences):

(I)

The distribution by the Plan is one which would not have disqualified such plan
under Code Section 401(a)(9) as in effect prior to amendment by the Deficit
Reduction Act of 1984.

(II)

The distribution is in accordance with a method of distribution designated by
the Participant whose interest in the plan is being distributed or, if the
Participant is deceased, by a Beneficiary of such Participant.

(III)

Such designation was in writing, was signed by the Participant or the
Beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1984.

(IV)

The Participant had accrued a benefit under the Plan as of December 31, 1983.

(V)

The method of distribution designated by the Participant or the Beneficiary
specifies the time at which distribution will commence, the period over which
distributions will be made, and in the case of any distribution upon the
Participant's death, the Beneficiaries of the Participant listed in order of
priority.

(ii)

A distribution upon death will not be covered by the transitional rule of this
Subsection unless the information in the designation contains the required
information described above with respect to the distributions to be made upon
the death of the Participant.

(iii)

For any distribution which commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after
December 31, 1983, the Participant, or the Beneficiary, to whom such
distribution is being made, will be presumed to have designated the method of
distribution under which the distribution is being made if the method of
distribution was specified in writing and the distribution satisfies the
requirements in (i)(I) and (i)(V) of this Subsection.

(iv)

If a designation is revoked, any subsequent distribution must satisfy the
requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations thereunder. If a
designation is revoked subsequent to the date distributions are required to
begin, the Plan must distribute by the end of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the revocation occurs the total amount not yet
distributed which would have been required to have been distributed to satisfy
Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations thereunder, but for the Section
242(b)(2) election. For calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988, such
distributions must meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit
requirements. Any changes in the designation will be considered to be a
revocation of the designation. However, the mere substitution or addition of
another Beneficiary (one not named in the designation) under the designation
will not be considered to be a revocation of the designation, so long as such
substitution or addition does not alter the period over which distributions are
to be made under the designation, directly or indirectly (for example, by
altering the relevant measuring life).

(v)

In the case in which an amount is transferred or rolled over from one plan to
another plan, the rules in Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-8, Q&A-14 and Q&A-15,
shall apply.

40

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

(b)

Time and manner of distribution

(1)

Required beginning date. The Participant's entire interest will be distributed,
or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant's
"required beginning date."

(2)

Death of Participant before distributions begin. If the Participant dies before
distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or
begin to be distributed, no later than as follows as elected in the
Distributions Upon Death Section of the Adoption Agreement (or if no election is
made, then the Beneficiary may elect which provision shall apply):

(i)

If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole "designated
Beneficiary," then, except as otherwise provided herein, distributions to the
surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately
following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of
the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70 1/2, if
later.

(ii)

If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole "designated
Beneficiary," then, except as provided in Section 6.8(b)(3) below, distributions
to the "designated Beneficiary" will begin by December 31 of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

(iii)

If there is no "designated Beneficiary" as of September 30 of the year following
the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest will be
distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary
of the Participant's death.

(iv)

If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole "designated
Beneficiary" and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before
distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 6.8(b)(2), other than
Section 6.8(b)(2)(i), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the
Participant.

For purposes of this Section 6.8(b)(2) and Section 6.8(b)(3), unless Section
6.8(b)(2)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the
Participant's "required beginning date." If Section 6.8(b)(2)(iv) applies,
distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to
begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.8(b)(2)(i). If distributions under
an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the
Participant before the Participant's "required beginning date" (or to the
Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to
begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.8(b)(2)(i)), the date
distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually
commence.

(3)

Forms of distribution. Unless the Participant's interest is distributed in the
form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or
before the "required beginning date," as of the first "distribution calendar
year" distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 6.8(c) and 6.8(d).
If the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased
from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance
with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations thereunder.

(c)

Required minimum distributions during Participant's lifetime

(1)

Amount of required minimum distribution for each "distribution calendar year."
During the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed
for each "distribution calendar year" is the lesser of the following, as elected
in the Form of Distributions Section of the Adoption Agreement:

(i)

the quotient obtained by dividing the "Participant's account balance" by the
distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Regulation
Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's age as of the Participant's
birthday in the "distribution calendar year"; or

(ii)

if the Participant's sole "designated Beneficiary" for the "distribution
calendar year" is the Participant's spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing
the "Participant's account balance" by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor
Table set forth in Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's and
spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and spouse's birthdays in the
"distribution calendar year."

(2)

Lifetime required minimum distributions continue through year of Participant's
death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section
6.8(c) beginning with the first "distribution calendar year" and up to and
including the "distribution calendar year" that includes the Participant's date
of death.

41

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

(d)

Required minimum distributions after Participant's death

(1)

Death on or after date distributions begin.

(i)

Participant survived by "designated Beneficiary." If the Participant dies on or
after the date distributions begin and there is a "designated Beneficiary," the
minimum amount that will be distributed for each "distribution calendar year"
after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing
the "Participant's account balance" by the longer of the remaining "life
expectancy" of the Participant or the remaining "life expectancy" of the
Participant's "designated Beneficiary," determined as follows:

(A)

The Participant's remaining "life expectancy" is calculated using the age of the
Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(B)

If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole "designated
Beneficiary," the remaining "life expectancy" of the surviving spouse is
calculated for each "distribution calendar year" after the year of the
Participant's death using the surviving spouse's age as of the spouse's birthday
in that year. For "distribution calendar years" after the year of the surviving
spouse's death, the remaining "life expectancy" of the surviving spouse is
calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse's birthday in
the calendar year of the spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent
calendar year.

(C)

If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole "designated
Beneficiary," the "designated Beneficiary's" remaining "life expectancy" is
calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of
the Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(ii)

No "designated Beneficiary." If the Participant dies on or after the date
distributions begin and there is no "designated Beneficiary" as of September 30
of the year after the year of the Participant's death, the minimum amount that
will be distributed for each "distribution calendar year" after the year of the
Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the "Participant's
account balance" by the Participant's remaining "life expectancy" calculated
using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each
subsequent year.

(2)

Death before date distributions begin.

(i)

Participant survived by "designated Beneficiary." Except as provided in Section
6.8(b)(3), if the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there
is a "designated Beneficiary," the minimum amount that will be distributed for
each "distribution calendar year" after the year of the Participant's death is
the quotient obtained by dividing the "Participant's account balance" by the
remaining "life expectancy" of the Participant's "designated Beneficiary,"
determined as provided in Section 6.8(d)(1).

(ii)

No "designated Beneficiary." If the Participant dies before the date
distributions begin and there is no "designated Beneficiary" as of September 30
of the year following the year of the Participant's death, distribution of the
Participant's entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar
year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.

(iii)

Death of surviving spouse before distributions to surviving spouse are required
to begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the
Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole "designated
Beneficiary," and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to
begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.8(b)(2)(i), this Section 6.8(d)(2)
will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

(e)

Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply:

(1)

"Designated Beneficiary" means the individual who is designated as the
Beneficiary under the Plan and is the "designated Beneficiary" under Code
Section 401(a)(9) and Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-4.

(2)

"Distribution calendar year" means a calendar year for which a minimum
distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant's
death, the first "distribution calendar year" is the calendar year immediately
preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant's "required beginning
date." For distributions beginning after the Participant's death, the first
"distribution calendar year" is the calendar year in which distributions are
required to begin under Section 6.8(b). The required minimum distribution for
the Participant's first "distribution calendar year" will be made on or before
the Participant's "required beginning date." The required minimum distribution
for other "distribution calendar years," including the required minimum
distribution for the "distribution calendar year" in which the Participant's
"required beginning date" occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that
"distribution calendar year."

(3)

"Life expectancy" means the life expectancy as computed by use of the Single
Life Table in Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9.

42

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

(4)

"Participant's account balance" means the Participant's account balance as of
the last Valuation Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the
"distribution calendar year" (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount
of any contributions made and allocated or Forfeitures allocated to the account
balance as of the dates in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date
and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the
Valuation Date. For this purpose, the Administrator may exclude contributions
that are allocated to the account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar
year after the Valuation Date, but that are not actually made during the
valuation calendar year. The account balance for the valuation calendar year
includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the
valuation calendar year or in the "distribution calendar year" if distributed or
transferred in the valuation calendar year.

(5)

"Required beginning date" means, except as otherwise elected in Appendix A to
the Adoption Agreement (Other Permitted Elections), with respect to any
Participant, April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar
year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which
the Participant retires, except that benefit distributions to a "5-percent
owner" must commence by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2.

(6)

"5-percent owner" means a Participant who is a 5-percent owner as defined in
Code Section 416 at any time during the Plan Year ending with or within the
calendar year in which such owner attains age 70 1/2. Once distributions have
begun to a 5percent owner under this Section they must continue to be
distributed, even if the Participant ceases to be a 5-percent owner in a
subsequent year.

(f)

Transition rules.

(1)

For plans in existence before 2003. Required minimum distributions before 2003
were made pursuant to Section (e), if applicable, and Sections 6.8(f)(2) through
(4) below.

(2)

2000 and Before. Required minimum distributions for calendar years after 1984
and before 2001 were made in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the
proposed Regulations thereunder published in the Federal Register on July 27,
1987 (the "1987 Proposed Regulations").

(3)

2001. Required minimum distributions for calendar year 2001 were made in
accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the 1987 Proposed Regulations, unless
the Adoption Agreement provides that required minimum distributions for 2001
were made pursuant to the proposed Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9)
published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2001 (the "2001 Proposed
Regulations"). If distributions were made in 2001 under the 1987 Proposed
Regulations prior to the date in 2001 the Plan began operating under the 2001
Proposed Regulations, the special transition rule in Announcement 2001-82, 20012
C.B. 123, applied.

(4)

2002. Required minimum distributions for calendar year 2002 were made in
accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the 1987 Proposed Regulations unless
either (i) or (ii) below applies.

(i)

The Adoption Agreement provides that required minimum distributions for 2002
were made pursuant to the 2001 Proposed Regulations.

(ii)

The Adoption Agreement provides that required minimum distributions for 2002
were made pursuant to the Final and Temporary Regulations under Code Section
401(a)(9) published in the Federal Register on April 17, 2002, (the "2002 Final
and Temporary Regulations") which are described in Sections (b) through (e) of
this Section. If distributions were made in 2002 under either the 1987 Proposed
Regulations or the 2001 Proposed Regulations prior to the date in 2002 the Plan
began operating under the 2002 Final and Temporary Regulations, the special
transition rule in Section 1.2 of the model amendment in Revenue Procedure
2002-29, 2002-1 C.B. 1176, applied.

6.9

DISTRIBUTION FOR MINOR OR INCOMPETENT INDIVIDUAL

In the event a distribution is to be made to a minor or incompetent individual,
then the Administrator may direct that such distribution be paid to the court
appointed legal guardian or any other person authorized under state law to
receive such distribution, or if none, then in the case of a minor individual,
to a parent of such individual, or to the custodian for such individual under
the Uniform Gift to Minors Act or Gift to Minors Act, if such is permitted by
the laws of the state in which said individual resides. Such a payment to the
guardian, custodian or parent of a minor or incompetent individual shall fully
discharge the Trustee (or Insurer), Employer, and Plan from further liability on
account thereof.

6.10

LOCATION OF PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY UNKNOWN

In the event that all, or any portion, of the distribution payable to a
Participant or Beneficiary hereunder shall, at the later of the Participant's
attainment of age 62 or Normal Retirement Age, remain unpaid solely by reason of
the inability of the Administrator, after sending a registered letter, return
receipt requested, to the last known address, and after further diligent effort,
to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or Beneficiary, the amount so
distributable shall be treated as a Forfeiture pursuant to the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective with respect to distributions made
after March 28, 2005, if the Plan provides for mandatory distributions and the
amount to be distributed to a Participant or Beneficiary does not exceed $1,000,
then the amount distributable may, in the sole discretion of the Administrator,
either be treated as a Forfeiture, or be paid directly to an individual
retirement account described in Code Section 408(a)

43

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

or an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b) at the time
it is determined that the whereabouts of the Participant or the Participant's
Beneficiary cannot be ascertained. In the event a Participant or Beneficiary is
located subsequent to the Forfeiture, such benefit shall be restored, first from
Forfeitures, if any, and then from an additional Employer contribution if
necessary. Upon Plan termination, the portion of the distributable amount that
is an "eligible rollover distribution" as defined in Plan Section 6.15(b)(1) may
be paid directly to an individual retirement account described in Code Section
408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b).
However, regardless of the preceding, a benefit that is lost by reason of
escheat under applicable state law is not treated as a Forfeiture for purposes
of this Section nor as an impermissible forfeiture under the Code.

6.11

IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTION

If elected in the Adoption Agreement, at such time as the conditions set forth
in the Adoption Agreement have been satisfied, then the Administrator, at the
election of a Participant who has not severed employment with the Employer,
shall direct the distribution of up to the entire Vested amount then credited to
the accounts as elected in the Adoption Agreement maintained on behalf of such
Participant. For purposes of this Section, a Participant shall include an
Employee who has an Account balance in the Plan. In the event that the
Administrator makes such a distribution, the Participant shall continue to be
eligible to participate in the Plan on the same basis as any other Employee. Any
distribution made pursuant to this Section shall be made in a manner consistent
with Section 6.5, including, but not limited to, all notice and consent
requirements of Code Sections 411(a)(11) and 417 and the Regulations thereunder.
Furthermore, if an in-service distribution is permitted from more than one
account type, the Administrator may determine any ordering of a Participant's
in-service distribution from such accounts.

6.12

ADVANCE DISTRIBUTION FOR HARDSHIP

(a)

Hardship events. For Profit Sharing Plans and 401(k) Plans (except to the extent
Section 12.9 applies), if elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Administrator,
at the election of the Participant, shall direct the distribution to any
Participant in any one Plan Year up to the lesser of 100% of the Vested interest
of the Accounts selected in the Adoption Agreement, valued as of the last
Valuation Date or the amount necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy
financial need of the Participant. For purposes of this Section, a Participant
shall include an Employee who has an Account balance in the Plan. Any
distribution made pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be made as of the
first day of the Plan Year or, if later, the Valuation Date immediately
preceding the date of distribution, and the Account from which the distribution
is made shall be reduced accordingly. Withdrawal under this Section shall be
authorized only if the distribution is for an immediate and heavy financial
need. The Administrator will determine whether there is an immediate and heavy
financial need based on the facts and circumstances. An immediate and heavy
financial need includes, but is not limited to, a distribution for one of the
following:

(1)

Expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible
under Code Section 213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses
exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income);

(2)

Costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
principal residence for the Participant;

(3)

Payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant's deceased parent,
spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, and, for taxable
years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code Section
152(d)(1)(B));

(4)

Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for
up to the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for the
Participant, the Participant's spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in
Code Section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005,
without regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B));

(5)

Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the
Participant's principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that
residence; or

(6)

Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant's principal residence that
would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined
without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income).

(b)

Other limits and conditions. If elected in the Adoption Agreement, no
distribution shall be made pursuant to this Section from the Participant's
Account until such Account has become fully Vested. Furthermore, if a hardship
distribution is permitted from more than one Account, the Administrator may
determine any ordering of a Participant's hardship distribution from such
Accounts.

(c)

Distribution rules apply. Any distribution made pursuant to this Section shall
be made in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions of
Section 6.5, including, but not limited to, all notice and consent requirements
of Code Sections 411(a)(11) and 417 and the Regulations thereunder.

6.13

SPECIAL RULE FOR CERTAIN PROFIT SHARING PLANS

(a)

The provisions of this Section apply to a Participant in a Profit Sharing Plan
or 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan to the extent elected in the Adoption Agreement.
However, this Section shall not apply with respect to amounts that are
transferred directly or indirectly (i.e., other than by a rollover) to this Plan
from a defined benefit plan, money purchase pension plan, target benefit plan,
or stock bonus or profit sharing plan which is subject to the survivor annuity
requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417.

44

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

(b)

If an election is made to not offer life annuities as a form of distribution,
then a Participant shall be prohibited from electing benefits in the form of a
life annuity and the Joint and Survivor Annuity provisions of Section 6.5 shall
not apply.

(c)

If an election is made to offer life annuities as a form of distribution but not
as the normal form of distribution, then the Joint and Survivor Annuity
provisions of Section 6.5 shall not apply if a Participant does not elect an
annuity form of distribution. Furthermore, subsection (e) shall not apply if a
Participant elects an annuity form of distribution.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything in Sections 6.2 and 6.6 to the contrary, upon the death
of a Participant, the automatic form of distribution will be a lump-sum rather
than a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity. Furthermore, the Participant's
spouse will be the Beneficiary of the Participant's entire Vested interest in
the Plan unless an election is made to waive the spouse as Beneficiary. The
other provisions in Section 6.2 shall be applied by treating the death benefit
in this subsection as though it is a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity.

(e)

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section, the provisions of
Sections 6.2, 6.5 and 6.6 regarding spousal consent shall be inoperative with
respect to this Plan.

(f)

If a distribution is one to which Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply,
such distribution may commence less than thirty (30) days after the notice
required under Regulation Section 1.411(a)-11(c) is given, provided that:

(1)

the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has
a right to a period of at least thirty (30) days after the notice to consider
the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a
particular distribution option), and

(2)

the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a
distribution.

6.14

QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER DISTRIBUTION

All rights and benefits, including elections, provided to a Participant in this
Plan shall be subject to the rights afforded to any "alternate payee" under a
"qualified domestic relations order." Furthermore, a distribution to an
"alternate payee" shall be permitted if such distribution is authorized by a
"qualified domestic relations order," even if the affected Participant has not
reached the "earliest retirement age" under the Plan. For the purposes of this
Section, "alternate payee," "qualified domestic relations order" and "earliest
retirement age" shall have the meanings set forth under Code Section 414(p).

6.15

DIRECT ROLLOVERS

(a)

Right to direct rollover. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary that would otherwise limit a "distributee's" election under this
Section effective with respect to distributions made after December 31, 2001, a
"distributee" may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the
Administrator, to have an "eligible rollover distribution" paid directly to an
"eligible retirement plan" specified by the "distributee" in a "direct
rollover." However, if less than the entire amount of the "eligible rollover
distribution" is being paid directly to an "eligible retirement plan," then the
Administrator may require that the amount paid directly to such plan be at least
$500. Furthermore, the Administrator may apply this Section by treating a
Participant's Roth Elective Deferral Account separately from the Participant's
other Accounts.

(b)

Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall
apply:

(1)

An "eligible rollover distribution" means any distribution described in Code
Section 402(c)(4) and generally includes any distribution of all or any portion
of the balance to the credit of the "distributee," except that an "eligible
rollover distribution" does not include: any distribution that is one of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than
annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the "distributee" or the
joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the "distributee" and the
"distributee's" "designated Beneficiary," or for a specified period of ten (10)
years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required
under Code Section 401(a)(9); any hardship distribution; the portion of any
other distribution(s) that is not includible in gross income (determined without
regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer
securities); and any other distribution reasonably expected to total less than
$200 during a year.

Notwithstanding the above, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an
"eligible rollover distribution" merely because the portion consists of
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions which are not includible in gross
income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual
retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b), or to a
qualified defined contribution plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a)
that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including
separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible
in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

45

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

(2)

An "eligible retirement plan" is an individual retirement account described in
Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section
408(b), (other than an endowment contract), a qualified trust (an employees'
trust) described in Code Section 401(a) which is exempt from tax under Code
Section 501(a), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), an eligible
plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political
subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political
subdivision and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into
such plan from this Plan, and an annuity contract described in Code Section
403(b), that accepts the "distributee's" "eligible rollover distribution."
However, in the case of an "eligible rollover distribution" to the surviving
spouse, an "eligible retirement plan" is an individual retirement account or
individual retirement annuity. The definition of "eligible retirement plan"
shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a
spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic
relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p). If any portion of an
"eligible rollover distribution" is attributable to payments or distributions
from a designated Roth account, an "eligible retirement plan" with respect to
such portion shall include only another designated Roth account of the
individual from whose account the payments or distributions were made, or a Roth
IRA of such individual.

(3)

A "distributee" includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the
Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse and the Employee's or former
Employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a "qualified
domestic relations order," as defined in Code Section 414(p), are "distributees"
with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

(4)

A "direct rollover" is a payment by the Plan to the "eligible retirement plan"
specified by the "distributee."

(c)

Participant notice. A Participant entitled to an "eligible rollover
distribution" must receive a written explanation of the right to a "direct
rollover," the tax consequences of not making a "direct rollover," and, if
applicable, any available special income tax elections. The notice must be
provided within the same 30 – 90 day timeframe applicable to the Participant
consent notice. The "direct rollover" notice must be provided to all
Participants, unless the total amount the Participant will receive as a
distribution during the calendar year is expected to be less than $200.

6.16

TRANSFER OF ASSETS FROM A MONEY PURCHASE PLAN

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that
any optional form of benefit under this Plan permits a distribution prior to the
Employee's retirement, death, disability, or severance from employment, and
prior to Plan termination, the optional form of benefit is not available with
respect to benefits attributable to assets (including the post-transfer earnings
thereon) and liabilities that are transferred, within the meaning of Code
Section 414(l), to this Plan from a money purchase pension plan qualified under
Code Section 401(a) (other than any portion of those assets and liabilities
attributable to after-tax voluntary Employee contributions or to a direct or
indirect rollover contribution).

6.17

CORRECTIVE DISTRIBUTIONS

Nothing in this Article shall preclude the Administrator from making a
distribution to a Participant, to the extent such distribution is made to
correct a qualification defect in accordance with the corrective procedures
under the IRS' Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System or any other
voluntary compliance programs.

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE AND CUSTODIAN

7.1

BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEE

(a)

The provisions of this Article, other than Section 7.6, shall not apply to this
Plan if a separate trust agreement is being used. Furthermore, the provisions of
this Article, other than Sections 7.5 and 7.6, shall not apply if the Plan is
fully insured.

(b)

The Trustee is accountable to the Employer for the funds contributed to the Plan
by the Employer, but the Trustee does not have any duty to see that the
contributions received comply with the provisions of the Plan. The Trustee is
not obligated to collect any contributions from the Employer, nor is it under a
duty to see that funds deposited with it are deposited in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan.

(c)

The Trustee will credit and distribute the Trust Fund as directed by the
Administrator. The Trustee is not obligated to inquire as to whether any payee
or distributee is entitled to any payment or whether the distribution is proper
or within the terms of the Plan, or whether the manner of making any payment or
distribution is proper. The Trustee is accountable only to the Administrator for
any payment or distribution made by it in good faith on the order or direction
of the Administrator.

46

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

(d)

In the event that the Trustee shall be directed by a Participant (pursuant to
the Participant Direction Procedures if the Plan permits Participant directed
investments), the Employer, or an Investment Manager or other agent appointed by
the Employer with respect to the investment of any or all Plan assets, the
Trustee shall have no liability with respect to the investment of such assets,
but shall be responsible only to execute such investment instructions as so
directed.

(1)

The Trustee shall be entitled to rely fully on the written (or other form
acceptable to the Administrator and the Trustee, including but not limited to,
voice recorded) instructions of a Participant (pursuant to the Participant
Direction Procedures), the Employer, or any Fiduciary or nonfiduciary agent of
the Employer, in the discharge of such duties, and shall not be liable for any
loss or other liability resulting from such direction (or lack of direction) of
the investment of any part of the Plan assets.

(2)

The Trustee may delegate the duty of executing such instructions to any
nonfiduciary agent, which may be an affiliate of the Trustee or any Plan
representative.

(3)

The Trustee may refuse to comply with any direction from the Participant in the
event the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems such direction
improper by virtue of applicable law. The Trustee shall not be responsible or
liable for any loss or expense that may result from the Trustee's refusal or
failure to comply with any direction from the Participant.

(4)

Any costs and expenses related to compliance with the Participant's directions
shall be borne by the Participant's Directed Account, unless paid by the
Employer.

(5)

Notwithstanding anything herein above to the contrary, the Trustee shall not
invest any portion of a Participant's Directed Account in "collectibles" within
the meaning of Code Section 408(m).

(e)

The Trustee will maintain records of receipts and disbursements and furnish to
the Employer and/or Administrator for each Plan Year a written annual report
pursuant to Section 7.9.

(f)

The Trustee may employ a bank or trust company pursuant to the terms of its
usual and customary bank agency agreement, under which the duties of such bank
or trust company shall be of a custodial, clerical and record-keeping nature.

(g)

The Trustee may employ and pay from the Trust Fund reasonable compensation to
agents, attorneys, accountants and other persons to advise the Trustee as in its
opinion may be necessary. The Trustee may delegate to any agent, attorney,
accountant or other person selected by it any non-Trustee power or duty vested
in it by the Plan, and the Trustee may act or refrain from acting on the advice
or opinion of any such person.

7.2

INVESTMENT POWERS AND DUTIES OF DISCRETIONARY TRUSTEE

(a)

This Section applies if the Employer, in the Adoption Agreement or as otherwise
agreed upon by the Employer and the Trustee, designates the Trustee to
administer all or a portion of the trust as a Discretionary Trustee. If so
designated, then the Trustee has the discretion and authority to invest, manage,
and control those Plan assets except, however, with respect to those assets
which are subject to the investment direction of a Participant (if Participant
directed investments are permitted), or an Investment Manager, the
Administrator, or other agent appointed by the Employer. The exercise of any
investment discretion hereunder shall be consistent with the "funding policy and
method" determined by the Employer.

(b)

The Trustee shall, except as otherwise provided in this Plan, invest and
reinvest the Trust Fund to keep the Trust Fund invested without distinction
between principal and income and in such securities or property, real or
personal, wherever situated, as the Trustee shall deem advisable, including, but
not limited to, common or preferred stocks, open-end or closed-end mutual funds,
bonds and other evidences of indebtedness or ownership, and real estate or any
interest therein. The Trustee shall at all times in making investments of the
Trust Fund consider, among other factors, the short and long-term financial
needs of the Plan on the basis of information furnished by the Employer. In
making such investments, the Trustee shall not be restricted to securities or
other property of the character expressly authorized by the applicable law for
trust investments; however, the Trustee shall give due regard to any limitations
imposed by the Code or the Act so that at all times this Plan may qualify as a
qualified Plan and Trust. The Trustee shall discharge its duties with respect to
the Plan solely in the interest of the Participants and Beneficiaries and with
the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters
would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like
aims.

(c)

The Trustee, in addition to all powers and authorities under common law,
statutory authority, including the Act, and other provisions of this Plan, shall
have the following powers and authorities to be exercised in the Trustee's sole
discretion:

(1)

To purchase, or subscribe for, any securities or other property and to retain
the same. In conjunction with the purchase of securities, margin accounts may be
opened and maintained;

(2)

To sell, exchange, convey, transfer, grant options to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of any securities or other property held by the Trustee, by private
contract or at public auction. No person dealing with the Trustee shall be bound
to see to the application of the purchase money or to inquire into the validity,
expediency, or propriety of any such sale or other disposition, with or without
advertisement;

47

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

(3)

To vote upon any stocks, bonds, or other securities; to give general or special
proxies or powers of attorney with or without power of substitution; to exercise
any conversion privileges, subscription rights or other options, and to make any
payments incidental thereto; to oppose, or to consent to, or otherwise
participate in, corporate reorganizations or other changes affecting corporate
securities, and to delegate discretionary powers, and to pay any assessments or

the Trust Fund so transferred shall be subject to all the terms and provisions
of the common, collective, or pooled trust fund which contemplate the
commingling for investment purposes of such trust assets with trust assets of

7.3

INVESTMENT POWERS AND DUTIES OF NONDISCRETIONARY TRUSTEE

(a)

This Section applies if the Employer, in the Adoption Agreement or as otherwise
agreed upon by the Employer and the Trustee, designates the Trustee to
administer all or a portion of the trust as a nondiscretionary Trustee. If so
designated, then the Trustee shall have no discretionary authority to invest,
manage, or control those Plan assets, but must act solely as a Directed Trustee
of those Plan assets. A nondiscretionary Trustee, as Directed Trustee of the
Plan funds it holds, is authorized and empowered, by way of limitation, with the
powers, rights and duties set forth herein and in Section 7.14, each of which
the nondiscretionary Trustee exercises solely as Directed Trustee in accordance
with the direction of the party which has the authority to manage and control
the investment of the Plan assets. If no directions are provided to the Trustee,
the Employer will provide necessary direction. Furthermore, the Employer and the
nondiscretionary Trustee may, in writing, limit the powers of the
nondiscretionary Trustee to any combination of powers listed within this
Section. The party which has the authority to manage and control the investment
of the Plan assets shall discharge its duties with respect to the Plan solely in
the interest of the Participants and Beneficiaries and with the care, skill,
prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent
person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims.

(b)

The Trustee, in addition to all powers and authorities under common law,
statutory authority, including the Act, and other provisions of this Plan, shall
have the following powers and authorities:

(1)

To invest the assets, without distinction between principal and income, in
securities or property, real or personal, wherever situated, including, but not
limited to, common or preferred stocks, open-end or closed-end mutual funds,
bonds and other evidences of indebtedness or ownership, and real estate or any
interest therein. In making such investments, the Trustee shall not be
restricted to securities or other property of the character expressly authorized
by the applicable law for trust investments; however, the Trustee shall give due
regard to any limitations imposed by the Code or the Act so that at all times
this Plan may qualify as a qualified Plan and Trust;

(2)

To purchase, or subscribe for, any securities or other property and to retain
the same. In conjunction with the purchase of securities, margin accounts may be
opened and maintained;

(3)

To sell, exchange, convey, transfer, grant options to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of any securities or other property held by the Trustee, by private
contract or at public auction. No person dealing with the Trustee shall be bound
to see to the application of the purchase money or to inquire into the validity,
expediency, or propriety of any such sale or other disposition, with or without
advertisement;

(4)

At the direction of the party which has the authority or discretion, to vote
upon any stocks, bonds, or other securities; to give general or special proxies
or powers of attorney with or without power of substitution; to exercise any
conversion privileges, subscription rights or other options, and to make any
payments incidental thereto; to oppose, or to consent to, or otherwise
participate in, corporate reorganizations or other changes affecting corporate
securities, and to delegate powers, and pay any assessments or charges in
connection therewith; and generally to exercise any of the powers of an owner
with respect to stocks, bonds, securities, or other property;

(5)

To cause any securities or other property to be registered in the Trustee's own
name, or in the name of a nominee or in a street name provided such securities
or other property are held on behalf of the Plan by (i) a bank or trust company,
(ii) a broker or dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
a nominee of such broker or dealer, or (iii) a clearing agency as defined in
Section 3(a)(23) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

(6)

To invest in a common, collective, or pooled trust fund (the provisions of which
are incorporated herein by reference) maintained by any Trustee (or any
affiliate of such Trustee) hereunder pursuant to Revenue Ruling 81-100, all or
such part of the Trust Fund as the party which has the authority to manage and
control the investment of the assets shall deem advisable, and the part of the
Trust Fund so transferred shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of
the common, collective, or pooled trust fund which contemplate the commingling
for investment purposes of such trust assets with trust assets of other trusts.
The name of the trust fund may be specified in Appendix A to the Adoption
Agreement (Other Permitted Elections);

(7)

To borrow or raise money for the purposes of the Plan in such amount, and upon
such terms and conditions, as the Trustee shall deem advisable; and for any sum
so borrowed, to issue a promissory note as Trustee, and to secure the repayment
thereof by pledging all, or any part, of the Trust Fund; and no person lending
money to the Trustee shall be bound to see to the application of the money lent
or to inquire into the validity, expediency, or propriety of any borrowing;

49

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

(8)

To make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all documents of transfer and
conveyance and any and all other instruments that may be necessary or
appropriate to carry out the powers herein granted;

(9)

To settle, compromise, or submit to arbitration (provided such arbitration does
not apply to Participants or Beneficiaries) any claims, debts, or damages due or
owing to or from the Plan, to commence or defend suits or legal or
administrative proceedings, and to represent the Plan in all suits and legal and
administrative proceedings;

(10)

To employ suitable agents and counsel and to pay their reasonable expenses and
compensation, and such agent or counsel may or may not be an agent or counsel
for the Employer;

(11)

To apply for and procure from the Insurer as an investment of the Trust Fund any
annuity or other Contracts (on the life of any Participant, or in the case of a
Profit Sharing Plan (including a 401(k) Plan), on the life of any person in whom
a Participant has an insurable interest, or on the joint lives of a Participant
and any person in whom the Participant has an insurable interest) as the
Administrator shall deem proper; to exercise, at the direction of the person
with the authority to do so, whatever rights and privileges may be granted under
such annuity or other Contracts; to collect, receive, and settle for the
proceeds of all such annuity or other Contracts as and when entitled to do so
under the provisions thereof;

(12)

To invest funds of the Trust in time deposits or savings accounts bearing a
reasonable rate of interest or in cash or cash balances without liability for
interest thereon, including the specific authority to invest in any type of
deposit of the Trustee (or of a financial institution related to the Trustee);

(13)

To invest in Treasury Bills and other forms of United States government
obligations;

(14)

To sell, purchase and acquire put or call options if the options are traded on
and purchased through a national securities exchange registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or, if the options are not traded
on a national securities exchange, are guaranteed by a member firm of the New
York Stock Exchange regardless of whether such options are covered;

(15)

To deposit monies in federally insured savings accounts or certificates of
deposit in banks or savings and loan associations including the specific
authority to make deposit into any savings accounts or certificates of deposit
of the Trustee (or a financial institution related to the Trustee); and

(16)

To pool all or any of the Trust Fund, from time to time, with assets belonging
to any other qualified employee pension benefit trust created by the Employer or
any Affiliated Employer, and to commingle such assets and make joint or common
investments and carry joint accounts on behalf of this Plan and such other trust
or trusts, allocating undivided shares or interests in such investments or
accounts or any pooled assets of the two or more trusts in accordance with their
respective interests.

7.4

POWERS AND DUTIES OF CUSTODIAN

The Employer may appoint a custodian of the Plan assets. A custodian has the
same powers, rights and duties as a nondiscretionary Trustee. Any reference in
the Plan to a Trustee also is a reference to a custodian unless the context of
the Plan indicates otherwise. A limitation of the Trustee's liability by Plan
provision also acts as a limitation of the Custodian's liability. The Custodian
will be protected from any liability with respect to actions taken pursuant to
the direction of the Trustee, Plan Administrator, the Employer, an Investment
Manager, a named Fiduciary or other third party with authority to provide
direction to the Custodian. The resignation or removal of the Custodian shall be
made in accordance with Section 7.11 as though the Custodian were a Trustee.

7.5

LIFE INSURANCE

(a)

Permitted insurance. The Trustee (or Insurer), in accordance with
nondiscriminatory operational procedures of the Administrator, shall ratably
apply for, own, and pay all premiums on Contracts on the lives of the
Participants or, in the case of a Profit Sharing Plan (including a 401(k) Plan),
on the life of a member of the Participant's family or on the joint lives of a
Participant and a member of the Participant's family. Any initial or additional
Contract purchased on behalf of a Participant shall have a face amount of not
less than $1,000, an amount set forth in the Administrator's procedures, or the
limitation of the Insurer, whichever is greater. If a life insurance Contract is
to be purchased for a Participant, then the aggregate premium for ordinary life
insurance for each Participant must be less than 50% of the aggregate
contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the Participant's Combined Account.
For purposes of this limitation, ordinary life insurance Contracts are Contracts
with both non-decreasing death benefits and non-increasing premiums. If term
insurance or universal life insurance is purchased, then the aggregate premium
must be 25% or less of the aggregate contributions and Forfeitures allocated to
the Participant's Combined Account. If both term insurance and ordinary life
insurance are purchased, then the premium for term insurance plus one-half of
the premium for ordinary life insurance may not in the aggregate exceed 25% of
the aggregate Employer contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the
Participant's Combined Account. Notwithstanding the preceding, the limitations
imposed herein with respect to the purchase of life insurance shall not apply,
in the case of a Profit Sharing Plan (including a 401(k) Plan), to the portion
of the Participant's Account that has accumulated for at least two (2) Plan
Years or to the entire Participant's Account if the Participant has been a
Participant in the Plan for at least five (5) years. In addition, amounts
transferred to this Plan in accordance with Section 4.6(f)(1)(ii) or (iii) and a
Participant's Voluntary Contribution Account may be used to purchase Contracts
without limitation. Thus, amounts that are not subject to the limitations
contained herein may be used to purchase life insurance on any person in whom a
Participant has an insurable interest or on the joint lives of a Participant and
any person in whom the Participant has an insurable interest, and without

50

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

regard to the amount of premiums paid to purchase any life insurance hereunder.

(b)

Contract conversion at retirement. Subject to the survivor annuity requirements
of Sections 6.5 and 6.6 (if applicable), the Trustee (or Insurer) must
distribute the Contracts to the Participant or convert the entire value of the
Contracts at or before retirement into cash or provide for a periodic income so
that no portion of such value may be used to continue life insurance protection
beyond the date on which benefits commence. Furthermore, if a Contract is
purchased on the joint lives of the Participant and another person and such
other person predeceases the Participant, then the Contract may not be
maintained under this Plan.

(c)

Limitations on purchase. Notwithstanding anything herein above to the contrary,
amounts credited to a Participant's Qualified Voluntary Employee Contribution
Account pursuant to Section 4.9, shall not be applied to the purchase of life
insurance Contracts. Furthermore, no life insurance Contracts shall be required
to be obtained on an individual's life if, for any reason (other than the
nonpayment of premiums) the Insurer will not issue a Contract on such
individual's life.

(d)

Proceeds payable to plan. The Trustee (or Insurer) will be the owner of any life
insurance Contract purchased under the terms of this Plan. The Contract must
provide that the proceeds will be payable to the Trustee (or Insurer); however,
the Trustee (or Insurer) shall be required to pay over all proceeds of the
Contract to the Participant's "designated Beneficiary" in accordance with the
distribution provisions of Article VI. A Participant's spouse will be the
"designated Beneficiary" pursuant to Section 6.2, unless a qualified election
has been made in accordance with Sections 6.5 and 6.6 of the Plan, if
applicable. Under no circumstances shall the Trust retain any part of the
proceeds that are in excess of the cash surrender value immediately prior to
death. However, the Trustee (or Insurer) shall not pay the proceeds in a method
that would violate the requirements of the Retirement Equity Act of 1984, as
stated in Article VI of the Plan, or Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations
thereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Plan and the
terms of any insurance Contract purchased hereunder, the Plan provisions shall
control.

(e)

No responsibility for Act of Insurer. The Employer, the Administrator and the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the validity of the provisions under a
Contract issued hereunder or for the failure or refusal by the Insurer to
provide benefits under such Contract. The Employer, Plan Administrator and the
Trustee are also not responsible for any action or failure to act by the Insurer
or any other person which results in the delay of a payment under the Contract
or which renders the Contract invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

7.6

LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS

(a)

Permitted Loans. The Trustee (or the Administrator if the Trustee is a
nondiscretionary Trustee or if loans are treated as Participant directed
investments) may, in the Trustee's (or, if applicable, the Administrator's) sole
discretion, make loans to Participants or Beneficiaries. If loans are permitted,
then the following shall apply: (1) loans shall be made available to all
Participants and Beneficiaries on a reasonably equivalent basis; (2) loans shall
not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than
the amount made available to other Participants; (3) loans shall bear a
reasonable rate of interest; (4) loans shall be adequately secured; and (5)
loans shall provide for periodic repayment over a reasonable period of time.
Furthermore, no Participant loan shall exceed the Participant's Vested interest
in the Plan.

(b)

Plan loans for Owner-Employees or Shareholder-Employees. Effective for Plan
loans made after December 31, 2001, the Plan provisions prohibiting loans to any
Owner-Employee or Shareholder-Employee shall cease to apply.

(c)

Prohibited assignment or pledge. An assignment or pledge of any portion of a
Participant's interest in the Plan and a loan, pledge, or assignment with
respect to any insurance Contract purchased under the Plan, shall be treated as
a loan under this Section.

(d)

Spousal consent. If the Vested interest of a Participant is used to secure any
loan made pursuant to this Section, then the written (or such other form as
permitted by the IRS) consent of the Participant's spouse shall be required in a
manner consistent with Section 6.5(a), provided the spousal consent requirements
of such Section apply to the Plan. Such consent must be obtained within the
90-day period prior to the date the loan is made. A new consent shall be
required if the Vested interest of a Participant is used for renegotiation,
extension, renewal or other revision of the loan. However, unless the loan
program established pursuant to this Section provides otherwise, no spousal
consent shall be required under this paragraph if the total interest subject to
the security is not in excess of $5,000. If a valid spousal consent has been
obtained in accordance with this Subsection, then, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, the portion of the Participant's Vested Account Balance
used as a security interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to
the Participant shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the
amount of the Account balance payable at the time of death or distribution, but
only if the reduction is used as repayment of the loan. If less than 100% of the
Participant's Vested Account balance (determined without regard to the preceding
sentence) is payable to the surviving spouse, then the Account balance shall be
adjusted by first reducing the Vested Account balance by the amount of the
security used as repayment of the loan, and then determining the benefit payable
to the surviving spouse.

51

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

(e)

Loan program. The Administrator shall be authorized to establish a participant
loan program to provide for loans under the Plan. The loan program shall be
established in accordance with Department of Labor regulation Section
2550.408(b)-1(d)(2) providing for loans by the Plan to parties-in-interest under
said Plan, such as Participants or Beneficiaries. In order for the Administrator
to implement such loan program, a separate written document forming a part of
this Plan must be adopted, which document shall specifically include, but need
not be limited to, the following:

(1)

the identity of the person or positions authorized to administer the Participant
loan program;

(2)

a procedure for applying for loans;

(3)

the basis on which loans will be approved or denied;

(4)

limitations, if any, on the types and amounts of loans offered;

(5)

the procedure under the program for determining a reasonable rate of interest;

(6)

the types of collateral which may secure a Participant loan; and

(7)

the events constituting default and the steps that will be taken to preserve
Plan assets in the event such default.

(f)

Loan default. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if a
Participant or Beneficiary defaults on a loan made pursuant to this Section that
is secured by the Participant's interest in the Plan, then a Participant's
interest may be offset by the amount subject to the security to the extent there
is a distributable event permitted by the Code or Regulations.

(g)

Loans subject to Plan terms. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the
contrary, if this is an amendment and restatement of an existing Plan, any loans
made prior to the date this amendment and restatement is adopted shall be
subject to the terms of the Plan in effect at the time such loan was made.

7.7

ALLOCATION AND DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITIES

If there is more than one Trustee, then the responsibilities of each Trustee may
be specified by the Employer and accepted in writing by each Trustee. If no such
delegation is made by the Employer, then the Trustees may allocate the
responsibilities among themselves, in which event the Trustees shall notify the
Employer and the Administrator in writing of such action and specify the
responsibilities of each Trustee. Except where there has been an allocation and
delegation of powers, if there shall be more than one Trustee, they shall act by
a majority of their number, but may authorize one or more of them to sign papers
on their behalf.

7.8

TRUSTEE'S COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES AND TAXES

The Trustee shall be paid such reasonable compensation as set forth in the
Trustee's fee schedule (if the Trustee has such a schedule) or as agreed upon in
writing by the Employer and the Trustee. However, an individual serving as
Trustee who already receives full-time compensation from the Employer shall not
receive compensation from this Plan. In addition, the Trustee shall be
reimbursed for any reasonable expenses, including reasonable counsel fees
incurred by it as Trustee. Such compensation and expenses shall be paid from the
Trust Fund unless paid or advanced by the Employer. All taxes of any kind
whatsoever that may be levied or assessed under existing or future laws upon, or
in respect of, the Trust Fund or the income thereof, shall be paid from the
Trust Fund.

7.9

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE

(a)

Annual report. Within a reasonable period of time after the later of the
Anniversary Date or receipt of the Employer's contribution for each Plan Year,
the Trustee, or its agent, shall furnish to the Employer and Administrator a
written statement of account with respect to the Plan Year for which such
contribution was made setting forth:

(1)

the net income, or loss, of the Trust Fund;

(2)

the gains, or losses, realized by the Trust Fund upon sales or other disposition
of the assets;

(3)

the increase, or decrease, in the value of the Trust Fund;

(4)

all payments and distributions made from the Trust Fund; and

(5)

such further information as the Trustee and/or Administrator deems appropriate.

(b)

Employer approval of report. The Employer, promptly upon its receipt of each
such statement of account, shall acknowledge receipt thereof in writing and
advise the Trustee and/or Administrator of its approval or disapproval thereof.
Failure by the Employer to disapprove any such statement of account within
thirty (30) days after its receipt thereof shall be deemed an approval thereof.
The approval by the Employer of any statement of account shall be binding on the
Employer and the Trustee as to all matters contained in the statement to the
same extent as if the account of the Trustee had been settled by judgment or
decree in an action for a judicial settlement of its account in a court of
competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee, the Employer and all persons having
or claiming an interest in the Plan were parties. However, nothing contained in
this Section shall deprive the Trustee of its right to have its accounts
judicially settled if the Trustee so desires.

52

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

7.10

AUDIT

(a)

Duty to engage accountant. If an audit of the Plan's records shall be required
by the Act and the regulations thereunder for any Plan Year, the Administrator
shall engage on behalf of all Participants an independent qualified public
accountant for that purpose. Such accountant shall, after an audit of the books
and records of the Plan in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, within a reasonable period after the close of the Plan Year, furnish
to the Administrator and the Trustee a report of the audit setting forth the
accountant's opinion as to whether any statements, schedules or lists, that are
required by Act Section 103 or the Secretary of Labor to be filed with the
Plan's annual report, are presented fairly in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles applied consistently.

(b)

Payment of fees. All auditing and accounting fees shall be an expense of and
may, at the election of the Employer, be paid from the Trust Fund.

(c)

Information to be provided to Administrator. If some or all of the information
necessary to enable the Administrator to comply with Act Section 103 is
maintained by a bank, insurance company, or similar institution, regulated,
supervised, and subject to periodic examination by a state or federal agency,
then it shall transmit and certify the accuracy of that information to the
Administrator as provided in Act Section 103(b) within one hundred twenty (120)
days after the end of the Plan Year or such other date as may be prescribed
under regulations of the Secretary of Labor.

7.11

RESIGNATION, REMOVAL AND SUCCESSION OF TRUSTEE

(a)

Trustee resignation. Unless otherwise agreed to by both the Trustee and the
Employer, a Trustee may resign at any time by delivering to the Employer, at
least thirty (30) days before its effective date, a written notice of
resignation.

(b)

Trustee removal. Unless otherwise agreed to by both the Trustee and the
Employer, the Employer may remove a Trustee at any time by delivering to the
Trustee, at least thirty (30) days before its effective date, a written notice
of such Trustee's removal.

(c)

Appointment of successor. Upon the death, resignation, incapacity, or removal of
any Trustee, a successor may be appointed by the Employer; and such successor,
upon accepting such appointment in writing and delivering same to the Employer,
shall, without further act, become vested with all the powers and
responsibilities of the predecessor as if such successor had been originally
named as a Trustee herein. Until such a successor is appointed, any remaining
Trustee or Trustees shall have full authority to act under the terms of the
Plan.

(d)

Appointment of successor prior to removal of predecessor. The Employer may
designate one or more successors prior to the death, resignation, incapacity, or
removal of a Trustee. In the event a successor is so designated by the Employer
and accepts such designation, the successor shall, without further act, become
vested with all the powers and responsibilities of the predecessor as if such
successor had been originally named as Trustee herein immediately upon the
death, resignation, incapacity, or removal of the predecessor.

(e)

Trustee's statement upon cessation of being Trustee. Whenever any Trustee
hereunder ceases to serve as such, the Trustee shall furnish to the Employer and
Administrator a written statement of account with respect to the portion of the
Plan Year during which the individual or entity served as Trustee. This
statement shall be either (i) included as part of the annual statement of
account for the Plan Year required under Section 7.9 or (ii) set forth in a
special statement. Any such special statement of account should be rendered to
the Employer no later than the due date of the annual statement of account for
the Plan Year. The procedures set forth in Section 7.9 for the approval by the
Employer of annual statements of account shall apply to any special statement of
account rendered hereunder and approval by the Employer of any such special
statement in the manner provided in Section 7.9 shall have the same effect upon
the statement as the Employer's approval of an annual statement of account. No
successor to the Trustee shall have any duty or responsibility to investigate
the acts or transactions of any predecessor who has rendered all statements of
account required by Section 7.9 and this subparagraph.

7.12

TRANSFER OF INTEREST

Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Plan, the Trustee at the
direction of the Administrator shall transfer the interest, if any, of a
Participant to another trust forming part of a pension, profit sharing, or stock
bonus plan that meets the requirements of Code Section 401(a), provided that the
trust to which such transfers are made permits the transfer to be made.

53

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

7.13

TRUSTEE INDEMNIFICATION

The Employer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against any and
all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities the Trustee may incur in
the exercise and performance of the Trustee's powers and duties hereunder,
unless the same are determined to be due to gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

7.14

EMPLOYER SECURITIES AND REAL PROPERTY

The Trustee shall be empowered to acquire and hold "qualifying employer
securities" and "qualifying employer real property," as those terms are defined
in the Act. However, no more than one hundred percent (100%), in the case of a
Profit Sharing Plan or 401(k) Plan, or ten percent (10%), in the case of a Money
Purchase Plan, of the fair market value of all the assets in the Trust Fund may
be invested in "qualifying employer securities" and "qualifying employer real
property."

Any such investment shall only be made upon written direction of the Employer
who shall be solely responsible for the propriety of such investment, except to
the extent Participants direct the investment of their Accounts in such
investment. Additional directives regarding the purchase, sale, or retention of
such securities may be addressed in a funding policy, statement of investment
policy, or other separate procedures or documents governing the investment of
Plan assets. In the event of any conflicts between the Plan document and a
separate investment trust agreement, the Plan document shall prevail.

Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Plan does not permit Participants to
direct the investment of their Elective Deferral Accounts, then the Trustee
shall only be permitted to acquire or hold "qualifying employer securities" and
"qualifying employer real property" to the extent permitted under Act Section
407.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND MERGERS

8.1

AMENDMENT

(a)

General rule on Employer amendment. The Employer shall have the right at any
time to amend this Plan subject to the limitations of this Section. However, any
amendment that affects the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Trustee (or
Insurer) or Administrator may only be made with the Trustee's (or Insurer's) or
Administrator's written consent. Any such amendment shall become effective as
provided therein upon its execution. The Trustee (or Insurer) shall not be
required to execute any such amendment unless the amendment affects the duties
of the Trustee (or Insurer) hereunder.

(b)

Permissible amendments. The Employer may (1) change the choice of options in the
Adoption Agreement, (2) add any appendix to the Adoption Agreement that is
specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan (e.g., Appendix A
(Special Effective Dates and Other Permitted Elections); (3) amend
administrative trust or custodial provisions; (4) add certain sample or model
amendments published by the Internal Revenue Service or other required
good-faith amendments which specifically provide that their adoption will not
cause the Plan to be treated as an individually designed plan, (5) add or change
provisions permitted under the Plan and/or specify or change the effective date
of a provision as permitted under the Plan and correct obvious and unambiguous
typographical errors and/or cross-references that merely correct a reference but
that do not in any way change the original intended meaning of the provisions
and (6) add a list of any "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits" which must be
preserved shall not be considered an amendment to the Plan. An Employer that
amends the Plan for any other reason, including a waiver of the minimum funding
requirement under Code Section 412(d), will no longer participate in this Volume
Submitter Plan and this Plan will be considered to be an individually designed
plan.

(c)

Sponsoring organization amendments. The Employer (and every Participating
Employer) expressly delegates authority to the sponsoring organization of this
Volume Submitter Plan, the right to amend the Plan by submitting a copy of the
amendment to each Employer (and Participating Employer) who has adopted this
Volume Submitter Plan, after first having received a ruling or favorable
determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the Volume Submitter Plan
as amended qualifies under Code Section 401(a) (unless a ruling or determination
is not required by the IRS). For purposes of this Section, the mass submitter
shall be recognized as the agent of the sponsor. If the sponsor does not adopt
any amendment made by the mass submitter, it will no longer be identical to, or
a minor modifier of, the mass submitter plan.

(d)

Impermissible amendments. No amendment to the Plan shall be effective if it
authorizes or permits any part of the Trust Fund (other than such part as is
required to pay taxes and administration expenses) to be used for or diverted to
any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their
Beneficiaries or estates; or causes any reduction in the amount credited to the
account of any Participant; or causes or permits any portion of the Trust Fund
to revert to or become property of the Employer.

(e)

Anti-cutback restrictions. Except as permitted by Regulations (including
Regulation Section 1.411(d)-4) or other IRS guidance, no Plan amendment or
transaction having the effect of a Plan amendment (such as a merger, plan
transfer or similar transaction) shall be effective if it eliminates or reduces
any "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefit" or adds or modifies conditions
relating to "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits" which results in a further
restriction on such benefits unless such "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits"
are preserved with respect to benefits accrued as of the later of the adoption
date or effective date of the amendment. "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits"
are benefits described in Code Section 411(d)(6)(A), early retirement benefits
and retirement-type

54

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

subsidies, and optional forms of benefit. The preceding shall not apply to a
Plan amendment that eliminates or restricts the ability of a Participant to
receive payment of his or her Account under a particular optional form of
benefit if the amendment provides a single-sum distribution form that is
otherwise identical to the optional form of benefit being eliminated or
restricted. For this purpose, a single-sum distribution form is otherwise
identical only if the single-sum distribution form is identical in all respects
to the eliminated or restricted optional form of benefit (or would be identical
except that it provides greater rights to the Participant) except with respect
to the timing of payments after commencement.

8.2

TERMINATION

(a)

Termination of Plan. The Employer shall have the right at any time to terminate
the Plan by delivering to the Trustee (or Insurer) and Administrator written
notice of such termination. Upon any full or partial termination or upon the
complete discontinuance of the Employer's Contributions to the Plan (in the case
of a Profit Sharing Plan), all amounts credited to the affected Participants'
Combined Accounts shall become 100% Vested and shall not thereafter be subject
to forfeiture.

(b)

Distribution of assets. Upon the full termination of the Plan, the Employer
shall direct the distribution of the assets to Participants in a manner that is
consistent with and satisfies the provisions of Section 6.5, except that no
Participant or spousal consent is required. Distributions to a Participant shall
be made in cash (or in property if permitted in the Adoption Agreement) or
through the purchase of irrevocable nontransferable deferred commitments from
the Insurer. Except as permitted by Regulations, the termination of the Plan
shall not result in the reduction of "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits" as
described in Section 8.1(e).

(c)

Abandoned plan. If the Employer, in accordance with DOL guidance, abandons the
Plan, then the Trustee (or Insurer) or other party permitted to take action as a
qualified terminal administrator (QTA), may terminate the Plan in accordance
with applicable DOL and IRS regulations and other guidance.

8.3

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR TRANSFER OF ASSETS

This Plan may be merged or consolidated with, or its assets and/or liabilities
may be transferred to any other plan only if the benefits which would be
received by a Participant of this Plan, in the event of a termination of the
plan immediately after such transfer, merger or consolidation, are at least
equal to the benefits the Participant would have received if the Plan had
terminated immediately before the transfer, merger or consolidation and such
transfer, merger or consolidation does not otherwise result in the elimination
or reduction of any "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits" as described in
Section 8.1(e).

ARTICLE IX

TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

9.1

TOP-HEAVY PLAN REQUIREMENTS

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, for any Top-Heavy Plan
Year, the Plan shall provide the special vesting requirements of Code Section
416(b) pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Plan and the special minimum allocation
requirements of Code Section 416(c) pursuant to Section 4.3(f) of the Plan.
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the minimum allocation shall be an
Employer Nonelective Contribution and, if no vesting schedule has been selected
in the Adoption Agreement or the selection is invalid, shall be subject to the 6
Year Graded vesting schedule described in the Adoption Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, the Top-Heavy Plan Year requirements of this Article
and Code Section 416 shall not apply in any Plan Year in which the Plan consists
solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Code
Section 401(k)(12) and matching contributions meet the requirements of Code
Section 401(m)(11).

9.2

DETERMINATION OF TOP-HEAVY STATUS

(a)

Definition of Top-Heavy Plan. This Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan if any of the
following conditions exists:

(1)

if the "top-heavy ratio" for this Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) and this Plan
is not part of any "required aggregation group" or "permissive aggregation
group";

(2)

if this Plan is a part of a "required aggregation group" but not part of a
"permissive aggregation group" and the "top-heavy ratio" for the group of plans
exceeds sixty percent (60%); or

(3)

if this Plan is a part of a "required aggregation group" and part of a
"permissive aggregation group" and the "top-heavy ratio" for the "permissive
aggregation group" exceeds sixty percent (60%).

(b)

Top-heavy ratio. "Top-heavy ratio" means, with respect to a "determination
date":

(1)

If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any
simplified employee pension plan (as defined in Code Section 408(k))) and the
Employer has not maintained any defined benefit plan which during the 5-year
period ending on the "determination date" has or has had accrued benefits, the
top-heavy ratio for this Plan alone or for the "required aggregation group" or
"permissive aggregation group" as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of the

55

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

account balances of all Key Employees as of the "determination date" (including
any part of any account balance distributed in the 1-year period ending on the
"determination date") (5-year period ending on the "determination date" in the
case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment,
death or disability and in determining whether the Plan is top-heavy for Plan
Years beginning before January 1, 2002), and the denominator of which is the sum
of all account balances (including any part of any account balance distributed
in the 1-year period ending on the "determination date") (5-year period ending
on the "determination date" in the case of a distribution made for a reason
other than severance from employment, death or disability and in determining
whether the Plan is top-heavy for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2002),
both computed in accordance with Code Section 416 and the Regulations
thereunder.

Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio are increased to
reflect any contribution not actually made as of the "determination date," but
which is required to be taken into account on that date under Code Section 416
and the Regulations thereunder.

(2)

If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any
simplified employee pension plan) and the Employer maintains or has maintained
one or more defined benefit plans which during the 1-year period ending on the
"determination date" has or has had any accrued benefits, the top-heavy ratio
for any "required aggregation group" or "permissive aggregation group" as
appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances
under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees,
determined in accordance with (1) above, and the "present value" of accrued
benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key
Employees as of the "determination date," and the denominator of which is the
sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or
plans for all participants, determined in accordance with (1) above, and the
"present value" of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for
all participants as of the "determination date," all determined in accordance
with Code Section 416 and the Regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under
a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy
ratio are increased for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the
1-year period ending on the "determination date" (5-year period ending on the
"determination date" in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than
severance from employment, death or disability and in determining whether the
Plan is top-heavy for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2002).

(3)

For purposes of (1) and (2) above, the value of account balances and the
"present value" of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent
Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the
"determination date," except as provided in Code Section 416 and the Regulations
thereunder for the first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan. The
account balances and accrued benefits of a participant (i) who is not a Key
Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (ii) who has not been
credited with at least one Hour of Service with any Employer maintaining the
plan at any time during the 1-year period (5-year period in determining whether
the Plan is top-heavy for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2002) ending on
the "determination date" will be disregarded. The calculation of the top-heavy
ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken
into account will be made in accordance with Code Section 416 and the
Regulations thereunder. Deductible Employee contributions will not be taken into
account for purposes of computing the top-heavy ratio. When aggregating plans
the value of account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with
reference to the "determination dates" that fall within the same calendar year.

The accrued benefit of a participant other than a Key Employee shall be
determined under (i) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual
purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer, or (ii) if
there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the
slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Code Section
411(b)(1)(C).

(c)

Determination date. "Determination date" means, for any Plan Year subsequent to
the first Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year. For the first Plan
Year of the Plan, "determination date" means the last day of that Plan Year.

(d)

Permissive aggregation group. "Permissive aggregation group" means the "required
aggregation group" of plans plus any other plan or plans of the Employer or any
Affiliated Employer which, when considered as a group with the "required
aggregation group," would continue to satisfy the requirements of Code Sections
401(a)(4) and 410.

(e)

Present value. "Present value" means the present value based only on the
interest and mortality rates specified in Appendix A to the Adoption Agreement.

(f)

Required aggregation group. "Required aggregation group" means: (1) each
qualified plan of the Employer or any Affiliated Employer in which at least one
Key Employee participates or participated at any time during the Plan Year
containing the "determination date" or any of the four preceding Plan Years
(regardless of whether the plan has terminated), and (2) any other qualified
plan of the Employer or any Affiliated Employer which enables a plan described
in (l) to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410.

(g)

Valuation Date. "Valuation date" means the date elected by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement as of which account balances or accrued benefits are valued
for purposes of calculating the "top-heavy ratio."

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1

EMPLOYER ADOPTIONS

(a)

Method of adoption. Any organization may become the Employer hereunder by
executing the Adoption Agreement in a form satisfactory to the Trustee (or
Insurer), and it shall provide such additional information as the Trustee (or
Insurer) may require. The consent of the Trustee (or Insurer) to act as such
shall be signified by its execution of the Adoption Agreement or a separate
agreement (including, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, a separate trust
agreement).

(b)

Separate affiliation. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the affiliation
of the Employer and the participation of its Participants shall be separate and
apart from that of any other employer and its participants hereunder.

10.2

PARTICIPANT'S RIGHTS

This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and
any Participant or to be a consideration or an inducement for the employment of
any Participant or Employee. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to
give any Participant or Employee the right to be retained in the service of the
Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any
Participant or Employee at any time regardless of the effect which such
discharge shall have upon the Employee as a Participant of this Plan.

10.3

ALIENATION

(a)

General rule. Subject to the exceptions provided below and as otherwise
permitted by the Code and the Act, no benefit which shall be payable to any
person (including a Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary) shall be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void; and no
such benefit shall in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts,
contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any such person, nor shall it
be subject to attachment or legal process for or against such person, and the
same shall not be recognized except to such extent as may be required by law.

(b)

Exception for loans. Subsection (a) shall not apply to the extent a Participant
or Beneficiary is indebted to the Plan by reason of a loan made pursuant to
Section 7.6. At the time a distribution is to be made to or for a Participant's
or Beneficiary's benefit, such portion of the amount to be distributed as shall
equal such indebtedness shall be paid to the Plan, to apply against or discharge
such indebtedness. Prior to making a payment, however, the Participant or
Beneficiary must be given notice by the Administrator that such indebtedness is
to be so paid in whole or part from the Participant's interest in the Plan. If
the Participant or Beneficiary does not agree that the indebtedness is a valid
claim against the Participant's interest in the Plan, the Participant or
Beneficiary shall be entitled to a review of the validity of the claim in
accordance with procedures provided in Sections 2.10 and 2.11.

(c)

Exception for QDRO. Subsection (a) shall not apply to a "qualified domestic
relations order" defined in Code Section 414(p), and those other domestic
relations orders permitted to be so treated by the Administrator under the
provisions of the Retirement Equity Act of 1984. The Administrator shall
establish a written procedure to determine the qualified status of domestic
relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders.
Further, to the extent provided under a "qualified domestic relations order," a
former spouse of a Participant shall be treated as the spouse or surviving
spouse for all purposes under the Plan.

(d)

Exception for certain debts to Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Section to the contrary, an offset to a Participant's accrued benefit against an
amount that the Participant is ordered or required to pay the Plan with respect
to a judgment, order, or decree issued, or a settlement entered into, on or
after August 5, 1997, shall be permitted in accordance with Code Sections
401(a)(13)(C) and (D).

10.4

CONSTRUCTION OF PLAN

This Plan and Trust shall be construed and enforced according to the Code, the
Act and the laws of the state or commonwealth in which the Employer's (or if
there is a corporate Trustee, the Trustee's, or if the Plan is fully insured,
the Insurer's) principal office is located (unless otherwise designated in the
Adoption Agreement), other than its laws respecting choice of law, to the extent
not pre-empted by the Act.

10.5

GENDER AND NUMBER

Wherever any words are used herein in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender,
they shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all
cases where they would so apply, and whenever any words are used herein in the
singular or plural form, they shall be construed as though they were also used
in the other form in all cases where they would so apply.

57

10.6

LEGAL ACTION

In the event any claim, suit, or proceeding is brought regarding the Trust
and/or Plan established hereunder to which the Trustee (or Insurer), the
Employer or the Administrator may be a party, and such claim, suit, or
proceeding is resolved in favor of the Trustee (or Insurer), the Employer or the
Administrator, they shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Trust Fund for
any and all costs, attorney's fees, and other expenses pertaining thereto
incurred by them for which they shall have become liable.

10.7

PROHIBITION AGAINST DIVERSION OF FUNDS

(a)

General rule. Except as provided below and otherwise specifically permitted by
law, it shall be impossible by operation of the Plan or of the Trust, by
termination of either, by power of revocation or amendment, by the happening of
any contingency, by collateral arrangement or by any other means, for any part
of the corpus or income of any Trust Fund maintained pursuant to the Plan or any
funds contributed thereto to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than
the exclusive benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries.

(b)

Mistake of fact. In the event the Employer shall make a contribution under a
mistake of fact pursuant to Act Section 403(c)(2)(A), the Employer may demand
repayment of such contribution at any time within one (1) year following the
time of payment and the Trustee (or Insurer) shall return such amount to the
Employer within the one (1) year period. Earnings of the Plan attributable to
the contributions may not be returned to the Employer but any losses
attributable thereto must reduce the amount so returned.

(c)

Contribution conditioned on deductibility. Except as specifically stated in the
Plan, any contribution made by the Employer to the Plan (if the Employer is not
tax-exempt) is conditioned upon the deductibility of the contribution by the
Employer under the Code and, to the extent any such deduction is disallowed, the
Employer may, within one (1) year following a final determination of the
disallowance, whether by agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or by final
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, demand repayment of such
disallowed contribution and the Trustee (or Insurer) shall return such
contribution within one (1) year following the disallowance. Earnings of the
Plan attributable to the contribution may not be returned to the Employer, but
any losses attributable thereto must reduce the amount so returned.

10.8

EMPLOYER'S AND TRUSTEE'S PROTECTIVE CLAUSE

The Employer, Administrator and Trustee, and their successors, shall not be
responsible for the validity of any Contract issued hereunder or for the failure
on the part of the Insurer to make payments provided by any such Contract, or
for the action of any person which may delay payment or render a Contract null
and void or unenforceable in whole or in part.

10.9

INSURER'S PROTECTIVE CLAUSE

Except as otherwise agreed upon in writing between the Employer and the Insurer,
an Insurer which issues any Contracts hereunder shall not have any
responsibility for the validity of this Plan or for the tax or legal aspects of
this Plan. The Insurer shall be protected and held harmless in acting in
accordance with any written direction of the Administrator or Trustee, and shall
have no duty to see to the application of any funds paid to the Trustee, nor be
required to question any actions directed by the Administrator or Trustee.
Regardless of any provision of this Plan, the Insurer shall not be required to
take or permit any action or allow any benefit or privilege contrary to the
terms of any Contract which it issues hereunder, or the rules of the Insurer.

10.10

RECEIPT AND RELEASE FOR PAYMENTS

Any payment to any Participant, the Participant's legal representative,
Beneficiary, or to any guardian or committee appointed for such Participant or
Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, shall, to the extent
thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Trustee (or
Insurer) and the Employer.

10.11

ACTION BY THE EMPLOYER

Whenever the Employer under the terms of the Plan is permitted or required to do
or perform any act or matter or thing, it shall be done and performed by a
person duly authorized by its legally constituted authority.

10.12

NAMED FIDUCIARIES AND ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITY

The "named Fiduciaries" of this Plan are (1) the Employer, (2) the
Administrator, (3) the Trustee (if the Trustee has discretionary authority as
elected in the Adoption Agreement or as otherwise agreed upon by the Employer
and the Trustee), and (4) any Investment Manager appointed hereunder. The named
Fiduciaries shall have only those specific powers, duties, responsibilities, and
obligations as are specifically given them under the Plan including, but not
limited to, any agreement allocating or delegating their responsibilities, the
terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In general, the Employer
shall have the sole responsibility for making the contributions provided for
under the Plan; and shall have the sole authority to appoint and remove the
Trustee and the Administrator; to formulate the Plan's "funding policy and
method"; and to amend the elective provisions of the Adoption Agreement or
terminate, in whole or in part, the Plan. The Administrator shall have the sole
responsibility for the administration of the Plan, which responsibility is
specifically described in the Plan. If the Trustee has discretionary authority,
it shall have the sole responsibility of management of the assets held under the
Trust, except those assets, the management of which has been assigned to an
Investment Manager or Administrator, who shall be solely

58

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

responsible for the management of the assets assigned to it, all as specifically
provided in the Plan. Each named Fiduciary warrants that any directions given,
information furnished, or action taken by it shall be in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan, authorizing or providing for such direction, information
or action. Furthermore, each named Fiduciary may rely upon any such direction,
information or action of another named Fiduciary as being proper under the Plan,
and is not required under the Plan to inquire into the propriety of any such
direction, information or action. It is intended under the Plan that each named
Fiduciary shall be responsible for the proper exercise of its own powers,
duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Plan. No named Fiduciary
shall guarantee the Trust Fund in any manner against investment loss or
depreciation in asset value. Any person or group may serve in more than one
Fiduciary capacity.

10.13

HEADINGS

The headings and subheadings of this Plan have been inserted for convenience of
reference and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof.

10.14

APPROVAL BY INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, pursuant to an application
for qualification is made by the time prescribed by law for filing the
Employer's return for the taxable year in which the Plan or an amendment to the
Plan is adopted, or such later date as the Secretary of Treasury may prescribe,
the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service or the Commissioner's delegate
should determine that the Plan does not initially qualify as a tax-exempt plan
under Code Sections 401 and 501, and such determination is not contested, or if
contested, is finally upheld, then if the Plan is a new plan, it shall be void
ab initio and all amounts contributed to the Plan, by the Employer, less
expenses paid, shall be returned within one (1) year and the Plan shall
terminate, and the Trustee (or Insurer) shall be discharged from all further
obligations. If the disqualification relates to a Plan amendment, then the Plan
shall operate as if it had not been amended. If the Employer's Plan fails to
attain or retain qualification, such Plan will no longer participate in this
volume submitter plan and will be considered an individually designed plan.

10.15

UNIFORMITY

All provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted and applied in a uniform,
nondiscriminatory manner.

10.16

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, benefits under this Plan shall be
paid, subject to Sections 6.11, 6.12 and 12.9, only upon death, Total and
Permanent Disability, normal or early retirement, termination of employment, or
termination of the Plan.

10.17

ELECTRONIC MEDIA

The Plan Administrator may use telephonic or electronic media to satisfy any
notice requirements required by this Plan, to the extent permissible under
regulations (or other generally applicable guidance). In addition, a
Participant's consent to immediate distribution may be provided through
telephonic or electronic means, to the extent permissible under regulations (or
other generally applicable guidance). The Plan Administrator also may use
telephonic or electronic media to conduct plan transactions such as enrolling
Participants, making (and changing) salary reduction elections, electing (and
changing) investment allocations, applying for Plan loans, and other
transactions, to the extent permissible under regulations (or other generally
applicable guidance).

10.18

PLAN CORRECTION

The Administrator in conjunction with the Employer may undertake such correction
of Plan errors as the Administrator deems necessary, including correction to
preserve tax qualification of the Plan under Code Section 401(a) or to correct a
fiduciary breach under the Act. Without limiting the Administrator's authority
under the prior sentence, the Administrator, as it determines to be reasonable
and appropriate, may undertake correction of Plan document, operational,
demographic and employer eligibility failures under a method described in the
Plan or under the IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System ("EPCRS") or
any successor program to EPCRS. The Administrator, as it determines to be
reasonable and appropriate, also may undertake or assist the appropriate
fiduciary or plan official in undertaking correction of a fiduciary breach,
including correction under the DOL Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program
("VFC") or any successor program to VFC. If the Plan is a 401(k) Plan, to
correct an operational error, the Plan Administrator may require the Trustee (or
Insurer) to distribute from the Plan Elective Deferrals or Vested matching
contributions, including earnings, where such amounts result from an operational
error other than a failure of Code Section 415, Code Section 402(g), or a
failure of the ADP or ACP tests.

10.19

NONTRUSTEED PLANS

If the Plan is funded solely with Contracts, then notwithstanding Sections 10.7
and 10.14, no Contract will be purchased under the Plan unless such Contract or
a separate definite written agreement between the Employer and the Insurer
provides that: (1) no value under Contracts providing benefits under the Plan or
credits determined by the Insurer (on account of dividends, earnings, or other
experience rating credits, or surrender or cancellation credits) with respect to
such Contracts may be paid or returned to the Employer or diverted to or used
for other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries.
However, any contribution made by the Employer because of a mistake of fact must
be returned to the Employer within one year of the contribution.

59

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

If this Plan is funded by individual Contracts that provide a Participant's
benefit under the Plan, such individual Contracts shall constitute the
Participant's account balance. If this Plan is funded by group Contracts, under
the group annuity or group insurance Contract, premiums or other consideration
received by the Insurer must be allocated to Participants' accounts under the
Plan.

ARTICLE XI

PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS

11.1

ELECTION TO BECOME A PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with the consent of the
Employer and Trustee (or Insurer), any entity may adopt the Employer's Plan and
all of the provisions hereof, and participate herein and be known as a
Participating Employer, by a properly executed document evidencing said intent
and will of such Participating Employer.

11.2

REQUIREMENTS OF PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS

(a)

Provisions may not vary. Each Participating Employer shall be required to select
the same Adoption Agreement provisions as those selected by the Employer other
than the Fiscal Year and such other items that must, by necessity, vary among
employers.

(b)

Holding and investing assets. The Trustee (or Insurer) may, but shall not be
required to, commingle, hold and invest as one Trust Fund all contributions made
by Participating Employers, as well as all increments thereof. However, the
assets of the Plan shall, on an ongoing basis, be available to pay benefits to
all Participants and Beneficiaries under the Plan without regard to the Employer
or Participating Employer who contributed such assets.

(c)

Payment of expenses. Unless the Employer otherwise directs, any expenses of the
Plan which are to be paid by the Employer or borne by the Trust Fund shall be
paid by each Participating Employer in the same proportion that the total amount
standing to the credit of all Participants employed by such Employer bears to
the total standing to the credit of all Participants.

11.3

DESIGNATION OF AGENT

Each Participating Employer shall be deemed to be a part of this Plan; provided,
however, that with respect to all of its relations with the Trustee (or Insurer)
and Administrator for purposes of this Plan, each Participating Employer shall
be deemed to have designated irrevocably the Employer as its agent. Unless the
context of the Plan clearly indicates otherwise, the word "Employer" shall be
deemed to include each Participating Employer as related to its adoption of the
Plan.

11.4

EMPLOYEE TRANSFERS

In the event an Employee is transferred between Participating Employers,
accumulated service and eligibility shall be carried with the Employee involved.
No such transfer shall effect a termination of employment hereunder, and the
Participating Employer to which the Employee is transferred shall thereupon
become obligated hereunder with respect to such Employee in the same manner as
was the Participating Employer from whom the Employee was transferred.

11.5

PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION AND FORFEITURES

If elected by a Participating Employer in its participation agreement, then to
the extent permitted under Code Section 411(d)(6), effective with respect to
Plan Years beginning in and after the Plan Year in which the provisions of this
Plan are adopted, any contribution and/or Forfeiture subject to allocation
during each Plan Year shall be determined and allocated separately by each
Participating Employer, and shall be allocated only among the Participants
eligible to share in the contribution and forfeiture allocation of the Employer
or Participating Employer making the contribution or by which the forfeiting
Participant was employed. Alternatively (if so elected), any contribution or
Forfeiture subject to allocation during each Plan Year shall be allocated among
all Participants of all Participating Employers in accordance with the
provisions of this Plan. However, if a Participating Employer is not an
Affiliated Employer then any contributions made by such Participating Employer
will only be allocated among the Participants eligible to share in the
contribution and forfeiture allocation of the Participating Employer.

On the basis of the information furnished by the Administrator, the Trustee (or
Insurer) shall keep separate books and records concerning the affairs of each
Participating Employer hereunder and as to the accounts and credits of the
Employees of each Participating Employer. The Trustee (or Insurer) may, but need
not, register Contracts so as to evidence that a particular Participating
Employer is the interested Employer hereunder, but in the event of an Employee
transfer from one Participating Employer to another, the employing Employer
shall immediately notify the Trustee (or Insurer) thereof.

60

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

11.6

AMENDMENT

Any Participating Employer that is an Affiliated Employer hereby authorizes the
Employer to make amendments on its behalf, unless otherwise agreed among all
affected parties. If a Participating Employer is not an Affiliated Employer,
then amendment of this Plan by the Employer at any time when there shall be a
Participating Employer shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the affected
parties, only be by the written action of each and every Participating Employer
and with the consent of the Trustee (or Insurer) where such consent is necessary
in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

11.7

DISCONTINUANCE OF PARTICIPATION

Any Participating Employer shall be permitted to discontinue or revoke its
participation in the Plan at any time. At the time of any such discontinuance or
revocation, satisfactory evidence thereof and of any applicable conditions
imposed shall be delivered to the Trustee (or Insurer). The Trustee (or Insurer)
shall thereafter transfer, deliver and assign Contracts and other Trust Fund
assets allocable to the Participants of such Participating Employer to such new
trustee (or insurer) or custodian as shall have been designated by such
Participating Employer, in the event that it has established a separate
qualified retirement plan for its employees provided, however, that no such
transfer shall be made if the result is the elimination or reduction of any
"Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits" as described in Section 8.1(e). If a
separate plan has not been established, at the time of such continuance or
revocation for whatever reason, the assets and liabilities, Contracts and other
Trust Fund assets allocable to such Participating Employer's participation in
this Plan shall be spun off pursuant to Code Section 414(l) and such spun off
assets shall constitute a retirement plan of the Participating Employer with
such Participating Employer becoming sponsor and the individual who has signed
the participation agreement on behalf of the Participating Employer becoming
Trustee for this purpose. Such individual shall agree to this appointment by
virtue of signing the participation agreement. If such individual is no longer
an Employee of the Participating Employer, then the Participating Employer shall
appoint a Trustee. If no successor is designated, the Trustee (or Insurer) shall
retain such assets for the Employees of said Participating Employer pursuant to
the provisions of Article VII hereof. In no such event shall any part of the
corpus or income of the Trust Fund as it relates to such Participating Employer
be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the
employees of such Participating Employer.

11.8

ADMINISTRATOR'S AUTHORITY

The Administrator shall have authority to make any and all necessary rules or
regulations, binding upon all Participating Employers and all Participants, to
effectuate the purpose of this Article.

11.9

PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION FOR AFFILIATE

If any Participating Employer is prevented in whole or in part from making a
contribution which it would otherwise have made under the Plan by reason of
having no current or accumulated earnings or profits, or because such earnings
or profits are less than the contribution which it would otherwise have made,
then, pursuant to Code Section 404(a)(3)(B), so much of the contribution which
such Participating Employer was so prevented from making may be made, for the
benefit of the participating employees of such Participating Employer, by other
Participating Employers who are members of the same affiliated group within the
meaning of Code Section 1504 to the extent of their current or accumulated
earnings or profits, except that such contribution by each such other
Participating Employer shall be limited to the proportion of its total current
and accumulated earnings or profits remaining after adjustment for its
contribution to the Plan made without regard to this paragraph which the total
prevented contribution bears to the total current and accumulated earnings or
profits of all the Participating Employers remaining after adjustment for all
contributions made to the Plan without regard to this paragraph.

A Participating Employer on behalf of whose employees a contribution is made
under this paragraph shall not be required to reimburse the contributing
Participating Employers.

ARTICLE XII

CASH OR DEFERRED PROVISIONS

Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Plan, the provisions of this
Article shall apply with respect to any 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan regardless of
any provisions in the Plan to the contrary.  

12.1

FORMULA FOR DETERMINING EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION

(a)

Permitted contributions. For each Plan Year, the Employer will (or may with
respect to any discretionary contributions) contribute to the Plan:

(1)

The amount of the total salary reduction elections of all Participants made
pursuant to Section 12.2(a), which amount shall be deemed Elective Deferrals,
plus

(2)

If elected in the Adoption Agreement, a matching contribution equal to the
percentage, if any, specified in the Adoption Agreement of the Elective
Deferrals of each Participant eligible to share in the allocations of the
matching contribution, which amount shall be deemed an Employer matching
contribution or Qualified Matching Contribution as elected in the Adoption
Agreement, plus

61

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

(3)

If elected in the Adoption Agreement, a discretionary amount determined each
year by the Employer, which amount if any, shall be deemed an Employer
Nonelective Contribution, or a Prevailing Wage Contribution as set forth in the
Adoption Agreement, which amount shall be an Employer Nonelective Contribution
or an Elective Contribution as elected in the Adoption Agreement, plus

(4)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution in a discretionary amount determined by the
Employer.

(b)

Timing and form of contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employer
is not a tax-exempt entity, then the Employer's contributions for any Fiscal
Year may generally not exceed the maximum amount allowable as a deduction to the
Employer under the provisions of Code Section 404. However, to the extent
necessary to provide the top-heavy minimum allocations, the Employer shall make
a contribution even if it exceeds current or accumulated Net Profit or the
amount that is deductible under Code Section 404. All contributions by the
Employer shall be made in cash or in such property as is acceptable to the
Trustee (or Insurer).

12.2

PARTICIPANT'S SALARY REDUCTION ELECTION

(a)

Deferral elections. Each Participant may elect to defer a portion of
Compensation which would have been received in the Plan Year, but for the salary
reduction election, subject to the limitations of this Section and the Adoption
Agreement. A salary reduction election (or modification of an earlier election)
may not be made with respect to Compensation which is currently available on or
before the date the Participant executed such election, or if later, the later
of the date the Employer adopts this cash or deferred arrangement or the date
such arrangement first became effective. Any elections made pursuant to this
Section, including a modification or termination of an election, shall become
effective as soon as is administratively feasible following the receipt of such
election by the Administrator. Furthermore, if the Employer elects in the
Adoption Agreement to apply the automatic deferral provisions, then in the event
a Participant fails to make a salary deferral election and does not
affirmatively elect to receive cash, such Participant shall be deemed to have
made a salary deferral election in accordance with the provisions selected in
the Adoption Agreement and such other procedures that the Administrator may
establish and apply in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis.

Additionally, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, each Participant may elect
to defer a different percentage or amount of any cash bonus to be paid by the
Employer during the Plan Year. A deferral election may not be made with respect
to cash bonuses which are currently available on or before the date the
Participant executes such election.

If elected in the Adoption Agreement, effective as of the date specified in the
Adoption Agreement, a Participant may make a salary reduction election to have
Roth Elective Deferrals contributed to the Plan. Roth Elective Deferrals are
includible in the Participant's gross income at the time deferred and must be
irrevocably designated as Roth Elective Deferrals by the Participant in the
Salary Reduction Agreement (or if applicable, in the automatic deferral
provisions of the Plan).

The amount by which Compensation and/or cash bonuses are reduced shall be that
Participant's Elective Deferrals and shall be treated as an Employer
contribution and allocated to that Participant's Elective Deferral Account. If
the Plan permits Roth Elective Deferral contributions, then a Participant's
Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals shall be allocated to the Participant's Pre-Tax
Elective Deferral Account and a Participant's Roth Elective Deferrals shall be
allocated to the Participant's Roth Elective Deferral Account. Elective
Deferrals contributed to the Plan as one type, either Roth Elective Deferrals or
Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals, may not later be reclassified as the other type.

For purposes of this Section, the annual dollar limitation of Code Section
401(a)(17) ($200,000 as adjusted) shall not apply except that the Administrator
may elect to apply such limit as part of the deferral election procedures
established hereunder.

Once made, a Participant's election to reduce Compensation shall remain in
effect until modified or terminated. The Administrator shall establish
procedures setting forth the conditions on modifications of an election.
However, Participants must be permitted to modify elections at least once each
Plan Year. Furthermore, terminations may be made at any time.

(b)

Catch-Up Contributions. If selected in the Adoption Agreement, effective for
calendar years beginning after December 31, 2001, all Employees who are eligible
to make Elective Deferrals under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before
the close of the taxable year shall be eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions
in accordance with, and subject to the dollar limitations of, Code Section
414(v)(2)(B)(i) for the taxable year. The dollar limit on Catch-Up Contributions
under Code Section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) is $1,000 for taxable years beginning in
2002, increasing by $1,000 for each year thereafter up to $5,000 for taxable
years beginning in 2006 and later years. After 2006, the $5,000 limit will be
adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases under
Code Section 414(v)(2)(C). Such Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into
account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required
limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415. The Plan shall not be treated as
failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of
Code Sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable,
by reason of the making of such Catch-Up Contributions (but Catch-Up
Contributions made in prior years are counted in determining whether the Plan is
a Top-Heavy Plan). If selected in the Adoption Agreement, Catch-Up Contributions
shall not be treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of applying any Employer
matching contributions. Such option cannot be selected if the Plan elects to
follow the safe harbor provisions of Section 12.8.

62

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

(c)

Full vesting. The balance in each Participant's Elective Deferral Account,
Qualified Matching Contribution Account and Qualified Nonelective Contribution
Account shall be fully Vested at all times and, except as otherwise provided
herein, shall not be subject to Forfeiture for any reason.

(d)

Distribution restrictions. Effective with respect to distributions and
transactions made after December 31, 2001, amounts held in a Participant's
Elective Deferral Account, Qualified Matching Contribution Account and Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Account may only be distributable as provided in (4)
below or as provided under the other provisions of this Plan, but in no event
prior to the earlier of the following events or any other events permitted by
the Code or Regulations:

(1)

the Participant's severance of employment (regardless of when the severance of
employment occurred), Total and Permanent Disability, or death;

(2)

the Participant's attainment of age 59 1/2;

(3)

the proven financial hardship of the Participant, subject to the limitations of
Section 12.9; or

(4)

the termination of the Plan without the existence at the time of Plan
termination of another defined contribution plan or the establishment of a
successor defined contribution plan by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer
within the period ending twelve months after distribution of all assets from the
Plan maintained by the Employer. For this purpose, a defined contribution plan
does not include an employee stock ownership plan (as defined in Code Section
4975(e)(7) or 409), a simplified employee pension plan (as defined in Code
Section 408(k)), or a SIMPLE individual retirement account plan (as defined in
Code Section 408(p)). A distribution that is made because of this paragraph must
be made in a lump-sum.

(e)

Code Section 402(g) dollar limit. A Participant's Elective Deferrals made under
this Plan and all other plans, contracts or arrangements of the Employer
maintaining this Plan during any calendar year shall not exceed the dollar
limitation imposed by Code Section 402(g), as in effect at the beginning of such
calendar year, except to the extent permitted under Section 12.2(b) and Code
Section 414(v), if applicable. The dollar limitation contained in Code Section
402(g) is $10,500 for taxable years beginning in 2000 and 2001 increasing to
$11,000 for taxable years beginning in 2002 and increasing by $1,000 for each
year thereafter up to $15,000 for taxable years beginning in 2006 and later
years. After 2006, the $15,000 limit will be adjusted by the Secretary of the
Treasury for cost-of-living increases under Code Section 402(g)(4). For this
purpose, "elective deferrals" means, with respect to a calendar year, the sum of
all Employer contributions made on behalf of such Participant pursuant to an
election to defer under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement as described
in Code Section 401(k), any salary reduction simplified employee pension (as
defined in Code Section 408(k)(6)), any SIMPLE IRA plan described in Code
Section 408(p), any eligible deferred compensation plan under Code Section 457,
any plans described under Code Section 501(c)(18), and any Employer
contributions made on the behalf of a Participant for the purchase of an annuity
contract under Code Section 403(b) pursuant to a salary reduction agreement.
"Elective deferrals" shall not include any deferrals properly distributed as
excess "annual additions" pursuant to Section 4.5.

(f)

Excess Deferrals. If a Participant has Excess Deferrals for a taxable year, the
Participant may, not later than March 1st following the close of such taxable
year, notify the Administrator in writing of such excess and request that the
Participant's Elective Deferrals under this Plan be reduced by an amount
specified by the Participant. In such event, the Administrator shall direct the
distribution of such excess amount (and any "income" allocable to such excess
amount) to the Participant not later than the first April 15th following the
close of the Participant's taxable year. Any distribution of less than the
entire amount of Excess Deferrals and "income" shall be treated as a pro rata
distribution of Excess Deferrals and "income." The amount distributed shall not
exceed the Participant's Elective Deferrals under the Plan for the taxable year.
Any distribution on or before the last day of the Participant's taxable year
must satisfy each of the following conditions:

(1)

the Participant shall designate the distribution as Excess Deferrals;

(2)

the distribution must be made after the date on which the Plan received the
Excess Deferrals; and

(3)

the Plan must designate the distribution as a distribution of Excess Deferrals.

Regardless of the preceding, if a Participant has Excess Deferrals solely from
elective deferrals made under this Plan or any other plan maintained by the
Employer, a Participant will be deemed to have notified the Administrator of
such excess amount and the Administrator shall direct the distribution of such
Excess Deferrals in a manner consistent with the provisions of this subsection.

For the purpose of this subsection, "income" means the amount of income or loss
allocable to a Participant's Excess Deferrals, which amount shall be allocated
in the same manner as income or losses are allocated pursuant to Section 4.3(c).
However, "income" for the period between the end of the taxable year of the
Participant and the date of the distribution (the "gap period") is not required
to be distributed for Excess Deferrals attributable to taxable years beginning
prior to 2007.

Notwithstanding the above, for any years in which a Participant makes both Roth
Elective Deferrals and Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals, the distribution of any
Excess Deferrals for such year shall be made from the Participant's Pre-Tax
Elective Deferral Account before the Participant's Roth Elective Deferral
Account, to the extent Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals were made for the year, unless
the Participant elects otherwise. Matching contributions which relate to Excess
Elective Deferrals (regardless of whether such Excess Elective Deferrals are
Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals or Roth Elective Deferrals) shall be treated as a
Forfeiture.

63

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

Any distribution of Excess Deferrals made pursuant to this subsection shall be
made first from unmatched Elective Deferrals (regardless of whether they are
attributable to Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals or Roth Elective Deferrals) and,
thereafter, from Elective Deferrals which are matched. Matching contributions
which relate to Excess Deferrals that are distributed pursuant to this Section
12.2(f) shall be treated as a Forfeiture to the extent required pursuant to Code
Section 401(a)(4) and the Regulations thereunder.

(g)

Coordination with ADP test. Notwithstanding the preceding, a Participant's
Excess Deferrals shall be reduced, but not below zero, by any distribution
and/or recharacterization of Excess Deferrals pursuant to Section 12.5(b) for
the Plan Year beginning with or within the taxable year of the Participant.

(h)

Suspension due to hardship. Effective with respect to distributions made on or
after December 31, 2001, in the event a Participant has received a hardship
distribution pursuant to Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3) from any other plan
maintained by the Employer or from the Participant's Elective Deferral Account
pursuant to Section 12.9, then such Participant shall not be permitted to elect
to have Elective Deferrals contributed to the Plan for a period of six (6)
months following the receipt of the distribution. Furthermore, any provisions of
the Plan providing for the reduction of the dollar limitation under Code Section
402(g) for the Participant's taxable year following the taxable year in which
the hardship distribution was made shall no longer apply.

(i)

Distributable based on other terms of Plan. At Normal Retirement Date, or such
other date when the Participant shall be entitled to receive benefits, the fair
market value of the Participant's Elective Deferral Account shall be used to
provide benefits to the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary.

(j)

Adjustment due to anticipated failure of ADP test. If during a Plan Year, it is
projected that the aggregate amount of Elective Deferrals to be allocated to all
Highly Compensated Participants under this Plan would cause the Plan to fail the
tests set forth in Section 12.4, then the Administrator may automatically reduce
the deferral amount of affected Highly Compensated Participants, beginning with
the Highly Compensated Participant who has the highest actual deferral ratio
until it is anticipated the Plan will pass the tests or until the actual
deferral ratio equals the actual deferral ratio of the Highly Compensated
Participant having the next highest actual deferral ratio. This process may
continue until it is anticipated that the Plan will satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4. Alternatively, the Employer may specify a maximum
percentage of Compensation that may be deferred by Highly Compensated
Participants.

(k)

Procedures must be established. The Employer and the Administrator shall
establish procedures necessary to implement the salary reduction elections
provided for herein. Such procedures may contain limits on salary deferral
elections such as limiting elections to whole percentages of Compensation or to
equal dollar amounts per pay period that an election is in effect.

12.3

ALLOCATION OF CONTRIBUTION, FORFEITURES AND EARNINGS

(a)

Separate accounting. The Administrator shall establish and maintain an account
in the name of each Participant to which the Administrator shall credit as of
each Anniversary Date, or other Valuation Date, all amounts allocated to each
such Participant as set forth herein.

(b)

Contributions. The Employer shall provide the Administrator with all information
required by the Administrator to make a proper allocation of Employer
contributions for each Plan Year. Within a reasonable period of time after the
date of receipt by the Administrator of such information, the Administrator
shall allocate contributions as follows:

(1)

With respect to Elective Deferrals made pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(1), to each
Participant's Elective Deferral Account in an amount equal to each such
Participant's Elective Deferrals for the year.

(2)

With respect to the Employer matching contribution made pursuant to Section
12.1(a)(2), to each Participant's Account, or Participant's Qualified Matching
Contribution Account, as elected in the Adoption Agreement, in accordance with
Section 12.1(a)(2).

Except, however, in order to be entitled to receive any Employer matching
contribution, a Participant must satisfy the conditions for sharing in the
Employer matching contribution as set forth in the Adoption Agreement.

(3)

With respect to the Employer Nonelective Contribution made pursuant to Section
12.1(a)(3), to each Participant's Account in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.3(b)(2) or (3) (including the "gateway contribution" pursuant to
Section 4.3(b)(4)), whichever is applicable.

(4)

With respect to the Employer Qualified Nonelective Contribution made pursuant to
Section 12.1(a)(4), to each Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution
Account in the same ratio as each Participant's Compensation bears to the total
of such Compensation of all Participants.

64

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

(c)

Deferrals not taken into account for Non-Key Employees. Notwithstanding anything
in the Plan to the contrary, in determining whether a Non-Key Employee has
received the required minimum allocation pursuant to Section 4.3(f) such Non-Key
Employee's Elective Deferrals shall not be taken into account. In addition,
unless otherwise specified in Appendix A to the Adoption Agreement (Other
Permitted Elections), effective with respect to Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 2001, Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account
for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code Section
416(c)(2) and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to
matching contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum
contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer
matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution
requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the ACP
test and other requirements of Code Section 401(m).

(d)

Deferrals not conditioned on service during a year. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Participants who terminated employment during the Plan
Year shall share in the salary deferral contributions made by the Employer for
the year of termination without regard to the Hours of Service credited.

(e)

Conditions for sharing in contributions/allocations. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary (other than Sections 4.3(f) and 12.3(f)), Participants
shall only share in the allocations of the Employer matching contribution made
pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(2), the Employer Nonelective Contributions made
pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(3), the Employer Qualified Nonelective Contribution
made pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(4), and Forfeitures as provided in the Adoption
Agreement. If no election is made in the Adoption Agreement, then a Participant
shall be eligible to share in the allocation of the Employer's contribution for
the year if the Participant completes more than 500 Hours of Service (or three
(3) Months of Service if the Elapsed Time method is chosen in the Adoption
Agreement) during the Plan Year or is employed on the last day of the Plan Year.

(f)

Code Section 410(b) fail-safe. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the
contrary, if the Employer elected to apply the 410(b) ratio percentage fail-safe
provisions, then the provisions of subsection 4.3(m) shall apply.

Furthermore, if the Plan includes Employer matching contributions subject to ACP
testing, then subsection 4.3(m) shall be applied separately to the Code Section
401(m) portion of the Plan.

12.4

ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE TESTS

(a)

ADP test. Except as otherwise provided herein, this subsection applies if the
prior year testing method is elected in the Adoption Agreement. The "Actual
Deferral Percentage" (hereinafter ADP) for a Plan Year for Participants who are
Highly Compensated Employees (hereinafter "HCEs") for each Plan Year and the
prior year's ADP for Participants who were Nonhighly Compensated Employees
(hereinafter "NHCEs") for the prior Plan Year must satisfy one of the following
tests:

(1)

The ADP for a Plan Year for Participants who are "HCEs" for the Plan Year shall
not exceed the prior year's ADP for Participants who were "NHCEs" for the prior
Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

(2)

The ADP for a Plan Year for Participants who are "HCEs" for the Plan Year shall
not exceed the prior year's ADP for Participants who were "NHCEs" for the prior
Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the ADP for Participants who are
"HCEs" does not exceed the prior year's ADP for Participants who were "NHCEs" in
the prior Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage points.

Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of applying the foregoing tests with
respect to the first Plan Year (as defined in Regulation Section
1.401(k)-2(c)(2)) in which the Plan permits any Participant to make Elective
Deferrals, the ADP for the prior year's "NHCEs" shall be deemed to be three
percent (3%) unless the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to use
the current Plan Year's ADP for these Participants. However, the provisions of
this paragraph may not be used if the Plan is a successor plan or is otherwise
prohibited from using such provisions pursuant to Regulation Section
1.401(k)-2(c)(2).

(b)

Current year testing method. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the current year
testing method is elected in the Adoption Agreement, the ADP tests in (a)(1) and
(a)(2) above shall be applied by comparing the current Plan Year's ADP for
Participants who are "HCEs" with the current Plan Year's ADP (rather than the
prior Plan Year's ADP) for Participants who are "NHCEs" for the current Plan
Year. Once made, the Employer can elect prior year testing for a Plan Year only
if the Plan has used current year testing for each of the preceding 5 Plan Years
(or if lesser, the number of Plan Years the Plan has been in existence) or if,
as a result of a merger or acquisition described in Code Section
410(b)(6)(C)(i), the Employer maintains both a plan using prior year testing and
a plan using current year testing and the change is made within the transition
period described in Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)(ii).

(c)

Determination of "HCEs" and "NHCEs." A Participant is an "HCE" for a particular
Plan Year if the Participant meets the definition of an "HCE" in effect for that
Plan Year. Similarly, a Participant is an "NHCE" for a particular Plan Year if
the Participant does not meet the definition of an "HCE" in effect for that Plan
Year.

(d)

Calculation of ADP. For the purposes of this Section and Section 12.5, ADP
means, for a specific group of Participants for a Plan Year, the average of the
ratios (calculated separately for each Participant in such group) of (1) the
amount of Employer contributions actually paid over to the Plan on behalf of
such Participant for the Plan Year to (2) the Participant's 414(s) Compensation
for such Plan Year. Employer contributions on behalf of any Participant shall
include: (1) any Elective Deferrals made pursuant to the

65

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

Participant's deferral election (including Excess Deferrals of "HCEs"), but
excluding (i) Excess Deferrals of "NHCEs" that arise solely from Elective
Deferrals made under the plan or plans of this Employer and (ii) Elective
Deferrals that are taken into account in the ACP tests set forth in Section 12.6
(provided the ADP test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of these
Elective Deferrals); and (2) except as provided in subsections (f) and (g), at
the election of the Employer, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified
Matching Contributions to the extent such contributions are not used to satisfy
the ACP test.

The actual deferral ratio for each Participant and the ADP for each group shall
be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent. Furthermore, Elective
Deferrals allocated to each Highly Compensated Participant's Elective Deferral
Account shall not be reduced by Excess Deferrals to the extent such excess
amounts are made under this Plan or any other plan maintained by the Employer.

(e)

Participants taken into account. For purposes of this Section and Section 12.5,
a Highly Compensated Participant and a Nonhighly Compensated Participant shall
include any Employee eligible to make salary deferrals pursuant to Section 12.2
for the Plan Year. Such Participants who fail to make Elective Deferrals shall
be treated for ADP purposes as Participants on whose behalf no Elective
Deferrals are made. If a Participant has no 414(s) Compensation for the Plan
Year, then such Participant is disregarded for purposes of calculating the ADP
test.

(f)

Timing of allocations. For purposes of determining the ADP and the amount of
Excess Contributions pursuant to Section 12.5, only Elective Deferrals,
Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions
contributed to the Plan prior to the end of the twelve (12) month period
immediately following the Plan Year to which the contributions relate shall be
considered.

(g)

Targeted contributions. Notwithstanding the preceding, for Plan Years beginning
in 2006 (or if earlier, the date the final 401(k) Regulations are effective with
respect to the Plan), Qualified Nonelective Contributions cannot be taken into
account in determining the ADP for a Plan Year for an "NHCE" to the extent such
contributions exceed the product of that "NHCE's" 414(s) Compensation and the
greater of five percent (5%) or two (2) times the Plan's "representative
contribution rate." Any Qualified Nonelective Contribution taken into account
under an ACP test under Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6) (including the
determination of the representative contribution rate for purposes of Regulation
Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v)(B)), is not permitted to be taken into account for
purposes of this paragraph (including the determination of the "representative
contribution rate" under this Section). For purposes of this subsection:

(1)

The Plan's "representative contribution rate" is the lowest applicable
contribution rate of any eligible "NHCE" among a group of eligible "NHCEs" that
consists of half of all eligible "NHCEs" for the Plan Year (or, if greater, the
lowest "applicable contribution rate" of any eligible "NHCE" in the group of all
eligible "NHCEs" for the Plan Year and who is employed by the Employer on the
last day of the Plan Year), and

(2)

The "applicable contribution rate" for an eligible "NHCE" is the sum of the
Qualified Matching Contributions taken into account under subsection (d) for the
eligible "NHCE" for the Plan Year and the Qualified Nonelective Contributions
made for the eligible "NHCE" for the Plan Year, divided by the eligible "NHCE's"
414(s) Compensation for the same period.

Notwithstanding the above, Qualified Nonelective Contributions that are made in
connection with an employer's obligation to pay prevailing wages under the
Davis-Bacon Act (46 Stat. 1494), Public Law 71-798, Service Contract Act of 1965
(79 Stat. 1965), Public Law 89-286, or similar legislation can be taken into
account for a Plan Year for an "NHCE" to the extent such contributions do not
exceed 10 percent (10%) of that "NHCE's" 414(s) Compensation.

Qualified Matching Contributions may only be used to calculate the ADP to the
extent that such Qualified Matching Contributions are matching contributions
that are not precluded from being taken into account under the ACP test for the
Plan Year under the rules of Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii).

Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions cannot
be taken into account to determine the ADP to the extent such contributions are
taken into account for purposes of satisfying any other ADP test, any ACP test,
or the requirements of Regulation Section 1.401(k)-3, 1.401(m)-3 or 1.401(k)-4.
Thus, for example, matching contributions that are made pursuant to Regulation
Section 1.401(k)-3(c) cannot be taken into account under the ADP test.
Similarly, if a plan switches from the current year testing method to the prior
year testing method pursuant to Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(c), Qualified
Nonelective Contributions that are taken into account under the current year
testing method for a year may not be taken into account under the prior year
testing method for the next year.

(h)

Aggregation with other plans. In the event this Plan satisfies the requirements
of Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k), or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or
more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such
sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section shall
be applied by determining the ADP of Employees as if all such plans were a
single plan. If more than ten percent (10%) of the Employer's "NHCEs" are
involved in a plan coverage change as defined in Regulation Section
1.401(k)-2(c)(4), then any adjustments to the "NHCEs" ADP for the prior year
will be made in accordance with such Regulations, unless the Employer has
elected in the Adoption Agreement to use the current year testing method. Plans
may be aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(k) only if they have the
same Plan Year and use the same ADP testing method.

66

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

(i)

ADP if multiple plans. The ADP for any Participant who is an "HCE" for the Plan
Year and who is eligible to have Elective Deferrals (and Qualified Nonelective
Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions, or both, if treated as
Elective Deferrals for purposes of the ADP test) allocated to such Participant's
accounts under two (2) or more arrangements described in Code Section 401(k),
that are maintained by the Employer, shall be determined as if such Elective
Deferrals (and, if applicable, such Qualified Nonelective Contributions or
Qualified Matching Contributions, or both) were made under a single arrangement
for purposes of determining such "HCE's" actual deferral ratio. If an "HCE"
participates in two or more arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) of the
Employer that have different plan years, all Elective Deferrals made during the
Plan Year under all such arrangements shall be aggregated. For Plan Years
beginning before 2006 (or if earlier, the Plan Year prior to the date the final
401(k) Regulations are effective with respect to the Plan), if the plans have
different Plan Years, then all such arrangements ending with or within the same
calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if mandatorily
disaggregated under Regulations under Code Section 401(k).

(j)

Disaggregation and otherwise excludable employees. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section to the contrary, the provisions of this Section and Section 12.5
may be applied separately (or will be applied separately to the extent required
by Regulations) to each "plan" within the meaning of Regulation Section
1.401(k)-6. Furthermore, the provisions of Code Section 401(k)(3)(F) may be used
to exclude from consideration all Nonhighly Compensated Employees who have not
satisfied the minimum age and service requirements of Code Section 410(a)(1)(A).
For purposes of applying this provision, the Administrator may use any effective
date of participation that is permitted under Code Section 410(b) provided such
date is applied on a consistent and uniform basis to all Participants.

(k)

"HCEs" as sole eligible employees. If, for the applicable year for determining
the ADP of the "NHCEs" for a Plan Year, there are no eligible "NHCEs," then the
Plan is deemed to satisfy the ADP test for the Plan Year.

(l)

Repeal of multiple use test. The multiple use test described in Regulation
Section 1.401(m)-2 in effect prior to the enactment of the Economic Growth and
Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 shall not apply for Plan Years beginning
after December 31, 2001.

12.5

ADJUSTMENT TO ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE TESTS

(a)

Authority to correct. In the event the Plan does not satisfy one of the tests
set forth in Section 12.4, the Administrator shall adjust Excess Contributions
or, if the current year testing method is being used, the Employer shall make
contributions pursuant to the options set forth below or any combination
thereof.

(b)

Corrective distribution and/or recharacterization. On or before the close of the
following Plan Year (or with respect to recharacterization as after-tax
voluntary Employee contributions, on or before the fifteenth day of the third
month following the end of each Plan Year), the Highly Compensated Participant
allocated the largest amount of Elective Deferrals shall have a portion of such
Elective Deferrals (and "income" allocable to such amounts) distributed (and/or,
at the Participant's election, recharacterized as an after-tax voluntary
Employee contribution pursuant to Section 4.8) until the total amount of Excess
Contributions has been distributed, or until the amount of the Participant's
Elective Deferrals equals the Elective Deferrals of the Highly Compensated
Participant having the next largest amount of Elective Deferrals allocated. This
process shall continue until the total amount of Excess Contributions has been
distributed. However, in the event the Plan permits Catch-Up Contributions, then
any "HCE" who is eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions pursuant to Section
12.2(b) shall have any amount that would have otherwise been distributed
pursuant to this Section recharacterized as a Catch-Up Contribution (up to the
maximum catch-up dollar limitation). Any distribution and/or recharacterization
of Excess Contributions shall be made in the following order:

(1)

With respect to the distribution of Excess Contributions, such distribution:

(i)

shall be made first from unmatched Elective Deferrals used in the ADP and,
thereafter, simultaneously from such Elective Deferrals which are matched and
matching contributions which relate to such Elective Deferrals (if the matching
contributions are used in the ADP). Matching contributions which are not used in
the ADP but which relate to Elective Deferrals that are distributed pursuant to
this Subsection shall be forfeited unless the related matching contributions are
distributed as Excess Aggregate Contributions pursuant to Section 12.7;

(ii)

shall be made from the Participant's Pre-Tax Elective Deferral Account before
the Participant's Roth Elective Deferral Account, to the extent Pre-Tax Elective
Deferrals were made for the Plan Year, unless the Participant elects otherwise;

(iii)

shall be adjusted for "income"; and

(iv)

shall be designated by the Employer as a distribution of Excess Contributions
(and "income").

(2)

With respect to the recharacterization of Excess Contributions as after-tax
voluntary Employee contributions pursuant to (a) above, such recharacterized
amounts:

(i)

shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the last of those Highly
Compensated Participants with Excess Contributions to be recharacterized is
notified of the recharacterization and the tax consequences of such
recharacterization;

67

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

(ii)

shall not exceed the amount of Elective Deferrals on behalf of any Highly
Compensated Participant for any Plan Year;

(iii)

shall be treated as after-tax voluntary Employee contributions for purposes of
Code Section 401(a)(4) and Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(b). However, for
purposes of Sections 4.3(f) and 9.2 (top-heavy rules), recharacterized Excess
Contributions continue to be treated as Employer contributions that are Elective
Deferrals. Excess Contributions (and "income" attributable to such amounts)
recharacterized as after-tax voluntary Employee contributions shall continue to
be nonforfeitable and subject to the same distribution rules provided for in
Section 12.2(d); and

(iv)

are not permitted if the amount recharacterized plus after-tax voluntary
Employee contributions actually made by such Highly Compensated Participant
exceed the maximum amount of after-tax voluntary Employee contributions
(determined prior to application of Section 12.6) that such Highly Compensated
Participant is permitted to make under the Plan in the absence of
recharacterization.

(3)

Any distribution and/or recharacterization of less than the entire amount of
Excess Contributions shall be treated as a pro rata distribution and/or
recharacterization of Excess Contributions and "income."

(4)

For the purpose of this Section, "income" means the income or losses allocable
to Excess Contributions, which amount shall be determined and allocated, at the
discretion of the Administrator, using any of the methods set forth below. The
method must be used consistently for all Participants and for all corrective
distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year. However, effective for Plan
Years beginning in 2006 (or if earlier, the date the final 401(k) Regulations
are effective with respect to the Plan), "income" for the period between the end
of the Plan Year and the date of the distribution (the "gap period") is required
to be distributed.

(i)

Method of allocating "income." The Administrator may use any reasonable method
for computing the "income" allocable to Excess Contributions, provided that the
method does not violate Code Section 401(a)(4), is used consistently for all
Participants and for all corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan
Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating "income" to Participant's Accounts.
A Plan will not fail to use a reasonable method for computing the "income"
allocable to Excess Contributions merely because the "income" allocable to
Excess Contributions is determined on a date that is no more than seven (7) days
before the distribution.

(ii)

Alternative method of allocating Plan Year income. The Administrator may
allocate "income" to Excess Contributions for the Plan Year by multiplying the
"income" for the Plan Year allocable to the Elective Deferrals and other amounts
taken into account under this Section (including contributions made for the Plan
Year), by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions for the
Employee for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the sum of the:

(1)

Account balance attributable to Elective Deferrals and other contributions taken
into account under this Section as of the beginning of the Plan Year, and

(2)

Any additional amount of such contributions made for the Plan Year.

(iii)

Safe harbor method of allocating gap period income. The Administrator may use
the safe harbor method in this paragraph to determine "income" on Excess
Contributions for the gap period. Under this safe harbor method, "income" on
Excess Contributions for the gap period is equal to ten percent (10%) of the
"income" allocable to Excess Contributions for the Plan Year that would be
determined under paragraph (ii) above, multiplied by the number of calendar
months that have elapsed since the end of the Plan Year. For purposes of
calculating the number of calendar months that have elapsed under the safe
harbor method, a corrective distribution that is made on or before the fifteenth
day of a month is treated as made on the last day of the preceding month and a
distribution made after the fifteenth day of a month is treated as made on the
last day of the month.

(iv)

Alternative method for allocating Plan Year and gap period income. The
Administrator may determine the allocable gain or loss for the aggregate of the
Plan Year and the gap period by applying the alternative method provided by
paragraph (ii) above to this aggregate period. This is accomplished by
substituting the "income" for the Plan Year and the gap period for the "income"
for the Plan Year and by substituting the contributions taken into account under
this Section for the Plan Year and the gap period for the contributions taken
into account under this Section for the Plan Year in determining the fraction
that is multiplied by that "income."

(5)

Excess Contributions shall be treated as Employer contributions for purposes of
Code Sections 404 and 415 even if distributed from the Plan.

68

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

(c)

Corrective contributions. Notwithstanding the above, if the current year testing
method is used, then within twelve (12) months after the end of the Plan Year,
the Employer may make a special Qualified Nonelective Contribution or Qualified
Matching Contribution in accordance with one of the following provisions which
contribution shall be allocated to the Qualified Nonelective Contribution
Account or Qualified Matching Contribution Account of each Nonhighly Compensated
Participant eligible to share in the allocation in accordance with such
provision. If the prior year testing method is used, then a Qualified
Nonelective Contribution and a Qualified Matching Contribution may not be made
to correct the tests set forth in Section 12.4. The Employer shall provide the
Administrator with written notification of the amount of the contribution being
made and to which provision it relates.

(1)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4. Such contribution shall be allocated in the same
proportion that each Nonhighly Compensated Participant's 414(s) Compensation for
the year bears to the total 414(s) Compensation of all Nonhighly Compensated
Participants for such year.

(2)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4. Such contribution shall be allocated in the same
proportion that each Nonhighly Compensated Participant's 414(s) Compensation for
the year bears to the total 414(s) Compensation of all Nonhighly Compensated
Participants for such year. However, for purposes of this contribution,
Nonhighly Compensated Participants who are not employed at the end of the Plan
Year shall not be eligible to share in the allocation and shall be disregarded.

(3)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4. Such contribution shall be allocated in equal amounts
(per capita).

(4)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4. Such contribution shall be allocated in equal amounts
(per capita). However, for purposes of this contribution, Nonhighly Compensated
Participants who are not employed at the end of the Plan Year  shall not be
eligible to share in the allocation and shall be disregarded.

(5)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4. Such contribution shall be allocated to the Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Account of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant having
the lowest 414(s) Compensation, until one of the tests set forth in Section 12.4
is satisfied, or until such Nonhighly Compensated Participant has received the
lesser of the maximum "annual addition" pursuant to Section 4.4 or the maximum
that may be taken into account in the ADP test pursuant to Section 12.4(g)
(Targeted Contributions). This process shall continue until one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4 is satisfied.

(6)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4. Such contribution shall be allocated to the Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Account of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant having
the lowest 414(s) Compensation, until one of the tests set forth in Section 12.4
is satisfied, or until such Nonhighly Compensated Participant has received the
lesser of the maximum "annual addition" pursuant to Section 4.4 or the maximum
that may be taken into account in the ADP test pursuant to Section 12.4(g)
(Targeted Contributions). This process shall continue until one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.4 is satisfied. However, for purposes of this contribution,
Nonhighly Compensated Participants who are not employed at the end of the Plan
Year shall not be eligible to share in the allocation and shall be disregarded.

(7)

A Qualified Matching Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly Compensated
Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set forth in
Section 12.4. Such contribution shall be allocated to the Qualified Matching
Contribution Account of each Nonhighly Compensated Participant in the same
proportion that each Nonhighly Compensated Participant's Elective Deferrals for
the year bears to the total Elective Deferrals of all Nonhighly Compensated
Participants.

(8)

A Qualified Matching Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly Compensated
Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set forth in
Section 12.4. Such contribution shall be allocated to the Qualified Matching
Contribution Account of each Nonhighly Compensated Participant in the same
proportion that each Nonhighly Compensated Participant's Elective Deferrals for
the year bears to the total Elective Deferrals of all Nonhighly Compensated
Participants. However, for purposes of this contribution, Nonhighly Compensated
Participants who are not employed at the end of the Plan Year shall not be
eligible to share in the allocation and shall be disregarded.

(d)

Excise tax after 2 1/2 months. Any Excess Contributions (and "income") which are
distributed after 2 1/2 months after the end of the Plan Year shall be subject
to the ten percent (10%) Employer excise tax imposed by Code Section 4979.

69

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

12.6

ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE TESTS

(a)

ACP test. Except as otherwise provided herein, this subsection applies if the
prior year testing method is elected in the Adoption Agreement. The "Actual
Contribution Percentage" (hereinafter ACP) for Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees (hereinafter "HCEs") for each Plan Year and the prior
year's ACP for Participants who were Nonhighly Compensated Employees
(hereinafter "NHCEs") for the prior Plan Year must satisfy one of the following
tests:

(1)

The ACP for a Plan Year for Participants who are "HCEs" for the Plan Year shall
not exceed the prior year's ACP for Participants who were "NHCEs" for the prior
Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

(2)

The ACP for a Plan Year for Participants who are "HCEs" for the Plan Year shall
not exceed the prior year's ACP for Participants who were "NHCEs" for the prior
Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the ACP for Participants who are
"HCEs" does not exceed the prior year's ACP for Participants who were "NHCEs" in
the prior Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage points.

Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of applying the foregoing tests with
respect to the first Plan Year (as defined in Regulation Section
1.401(m)-2(c)(2)) in which the Plan permits any Participant to make Employee
contributions, provides for matching contributions, or both, the ACP for the
prior year's "NHCEs" shall be deemed to be three percent (3%) unless the
Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to use the current Plan Year's
ACP for these Participants. However, the provisions of this paragraph may not be
used if the Plan is a successor plan or is otherwise prohibited from using such
provisions pursuant to Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(c)(2).

(b)

Current year testing method. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the current year
testing method is elected in the Adoption Agreement, the ACP tests in (a)(1) and
(a)(2) above shall be applied by comparing the current Plan Year's ACP for
Participants who are "HCEs" with the current Plan Year's ACP (rather than the
prior Plan Year's ACP) for Participants who are "NHCEs" for the current Plan
Year. Once made, the Employer can elect prior year testing for a Plan Year only
if the Plan has used current year testing for each of the preceding 5 Plan Years
(or if lesser, the number of Plan Years the Plan has been in existence) or if,
as a result of a merger or acquisition described in Code Section
410(b)(6)(C)(i), the Employer maintains both a plan using prior year testing and
a plan using current year testing and the change is made within the transition
period described in Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)(ii).

(c)

Determination of "HCEs" and "NHCEs." A Participant is an "HCE" for a particular
Plan Year if the Participant meets the definition of an "HCE" in effect for that
Plan Year. Similarly, a Participant is an "NHCE" for a particular Plan Year if
the Participant does not meet the definition of an "HCE" in effect for that Plan
Year.

(d)

Calculation of ACP. For the purposes of this Section and Section 12.7, ACP for a
specific group of Participants for a Plan Year means the average of the
"contribution percentages" (calculated separately for each Participant in such
group). For this purpose, "contribution percentage" means the ratio (expressed
as a percentage) of the Participant's "contribution percentage amounts" to the
Participant's 414(s) Compensation. The actual contribution ratio for each
Participant and the ACP for each group, shall be calculated to the nearest
one-hundredth of one percent of the Participant's 414(s) Compensation.

(e)

Amounts included in ACP. "Contribution percentage amounts" means the sum of (i)
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions, (ii) Employer "matching
contributions" made pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(2) (including Qualified Matching
Contributions to the extent such Qualified Matching Contributions are not used
to satisfy the tests set forth in Section 12.4), (iii) Excess Contributions
recharacterized as nondeductible voluntary Employee contributions pursuant to
Section 12.5, and (iv) Qualified Nonelective Contributions, to the extent the
Qualified Nonelective Contributions are not used to satisfy the tests set forth
in Section 12.4 and do not exceed the limitations of the targeted contribution
limitation of Section 12.4(g). However, "contribution percentage amounts" shall
not include "matching contributions" that are forfeited either to correct Excess
Aggregate Contributions or due to Code Section 401(a)(4) and the Regulations
thereunder because the contributions to which they relate are Excess Deferrals,
Excess Contributions, or Excess Aggregate Contributions. In addition,
"contribution percentage amounts" may include Elective Deferrals provided the
ADP test in Section 12.4 is met before the Elective Deferrals are used in the
ACP test and continues to be met following the exclusion of those Elective
Deferrals that are used to meet the ACP test.

(f)

Participants taken into account. For purposes of this Section and Section 12.7,
a Highly Compensated Participant and a Nonhighly Compensated Participant shall
include any Employee eligible to have "matching contributions" made pursuant to
Section 12.1(a)(2) (whether or not a deferral election was made or suspended
pursuant to Section 12.2(g)) allocated to such Participant's account for the
Plan Year or to make after-tax voluntary Employee contributions pursuant to
Section 4.7 (whether or not after-tax voluntary Employee contributions are made)
allocated to the Participant's account for the Plan Year.

(g)

Timing of allocations. For purposes of determining the ACP test, Employee
contributions are considered to have been made in the Plan Year in which
contributed to the Plan. "Matching contributions" and Qualified Nonelective
Contributions will be considered made for a Plan Year if made no later the end
of the twelve (12) month period beginning on the date after the close of the
Plan Year.

(h)

Definition of "matching contribution" and "employee contribution." For purposes
of this Section and Section 12.7, "matching contribution" means an Employer
contribution made to the Plan, or to a contract described in Code Section
403(b), on behalf of a Participant on account of a nondeductible voluntary
"employee contribution" made by such Participant, or on account of a

70

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

Participant's elective deferrals under a plan maintained by the Employer.
"Employee contribution" means any contribution (other than Roth Elective
Deferrals) made to the Plan by or on behalf of a Participant that is included in
the Participant's gross income in the year in which made and that is maintained
under separate account to which earnings and losses are allocated.

(i)

Targeted matching contributions. Notwithstanding the preceding, for Plan Years
beginning in 2006 (or if earlier, the date the final 401(m) Regulations are
effective with respect to the Plan), a "matching contribution" with respect to
an Elective Deferral for a year is not taken into account in determining the ACP
for "NHCEs" to the extent it exceeds the greatest of:

(1)

five percent (5%) of the Participant's 414(s) Compensation for the year;

(2)

the Employee's Elective Deferrals for the year; or

(3)

the product of two (2) times the Plan's "representative matching rate" and the
Participant's Elective Deferrals for the year.

For purposes of this subsection, the Plan's "representative matching rate" is
the lowest "matching rate" for any eligible "NHCE" among a group of "NHCEs" that
consists of half of all eligible "NHCEs" in the Plan for the Plan Year who make
Elective Deferrals for the Plan Year (or, if greater, the lowest "matching rate"
for all eligible "NHCEs" in the Plan who are employed by the Employer on the
last day of the Plan Year and who make Elective Deferrals for the Plan Year).

For purposes of this subsection, the "matching rate" for an Employee generally
is the "matching contributions" made for such Employee divided by the Employee's
Elective Deferrals for the year. If the "matching rate" is not the same for all
levels of Elective Deferrals for an Employee, the Employee's "matching rate" is
determined assuming that an Employee's Elective Deferrals are equal to six
percent (6%) of 414(s) Compensation.

If the Plan provides a match with respect to the sum of the Employee's after-tax
voluntary Employee contributions and Elective Deferrals, then for purposes of
this subsection, that sum is substituted for the amount of the Employee's
Elective Deferrals and Employees who make either after-tax voluntary Employee
contributions or Elective Deferrals are taken into account in determining the
Plan's "representative matching rate." Similarly, if the Plan provides a match
with respect to the Employee's after-tax voluntary Employee contributions, but
not Elective Deferrals, then for purposes of this subsection, the Employee's
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions are substituted for the amount of the
Employee's Elective Deferrals and Employees who make after-tax voluntary
Employee contributions are taken into account in determining the Plan's
"representative matching rate."

(j)

Aggregation with other plans. In the event that this Plan satisfies the
requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(m), or 410(b) only if aggregated
with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the
requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan,
then this Section shall be applied by determining the ACP of Employees as if all
such plans were a single plan. If more than ten percent (10%) of the Employer's
"NHCEs" are involved in a plan coverage change as defined in Regulation Section
1.401(m)-2(c)(4), then any adjustments to the "NHCE's" ACP for the prior year
will be made in accordance with such Regulations, unless the Employer has
elected in the Adoption Agreement to use the current year testing method. Plans
may be aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(m) only if they have the
same Plan Year and use the same ACP testing method.

(k)

ACP if multiple plans. For the purposes of this Section, if an HCE is a
Participant under two (2) or more plans (other than an employee stock ownership
plan as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(7)) which are maintained by the Employer
or an Affiliated Employer to which "matching contributions," nondeductible
voluntary Employee contributions, or both, are made, all such contributions on
behalf of such HCE shall be aggregated for purposes of determining such HCP's
actual contribution ratio. However, if the plans have different plan years, then
for purposes of Plan Years beginning prior to 2006 (or if earlier, the date the
final 401(m) Regulations are effective with respect to the Plan), this paragraph
shall be applied by treating all plans ending with or within the same calendar
year as a single plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans shall be
treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under Regulations under Code
Section 401(m).

(l)

Disaggregation and otherwise excludable employees. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section to the contrary, the provisions of this Section and Section 12.7
may be applied separately (or will be applied separately to the extent required
by Regulations) to each "plan" within the meaning of Regulation Section
1.401(m)-5. Furthermore, the provisions of Code Section 401(m)(5)(C) may be used
to exclude from consideration all Nonhighly Compensated Employees who have not
satisfied the minimum age and service requirements of Code Section 410(a)(1)(A).
For purposes of applying this provision, the Administrator may use any effective
date of participation that is permitted under Code Section 410(a) provided such
date is applied on a consistent and uniform basis to all Participants.

(m)

"HCEs" as sole eligible employees. If, for the applicable year for determining
the ACP of the "NHCEs" for a Plan Year, there are no eligible "NHCEs," then the
Plan is deemed to satisfy the ACP test for the Plan Year.

(n)

Repeal of multiple use test. The multiple use test described in Regulation
Section 1.401(m)-2 in effect prior to the enactment of the Economic Growth and
Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 shall not apply for Plan Years beginning
after December 31, 2001.

12.7

ADJUSTMENT TO ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE TESTS

(a)

Authority to correct. In the event the Plan does not satisfy one of the tests
set forth in Section 12.6, the Administrator shall adjust Excess Aggregate
Contributions or, if the current year testing method is used, the Employer shall
make contributions pursuant to the options set forth below or any combination
thereof.

(b)

Corrective distribution or Forfeiture. On or before the close of the following
Plan Year, the Highly Compensated Participant having the largest allocation of
"contribution percentage amounts" shall have a portion of such "contribution
percentage amounts" (and "income" allocable to such amounts) distributed or, if
non-Vested, Forfeited (including "income" allocable to such Forfeitures) until
the total amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions has been distributed, or
until the amount of the Participant's "contribution percentage amounts" equals
the "contribution percentage amounts" of the Highly Compensated Participant
having the next largest amount of "contribution percentage amounts." This
process shall continue until the total amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions
has been distributed or forfeited. Any distribution and/or Forfeiture of
"contribution percentage amounts" shall be made in the following order:

(1)

Employer matching contributions distributed and/or forfeited pursuant to Section
12.5(b)(1);

(2)

After-tax voluntary Employee contributions including Excess Contributions
recharacterized as after-tax voluntary Employee contributions pursuant to
Section 12.5(b)(2);

(3)

Unmatched Elective Deferrals used in the ACP and, thereafter, simultaneously
from such Elective Deferrals used in the ACP which are matched and matching
contributions which relate to such Elective Deferrals (if the matching
contributions are used in the ACP). Matching contributions which are not used in
the ACP but which relate to Elective Deferrals that are distributed pursuant to
this Subsection shall be forfeited unless the related matching contributions are
distributed as Excess Aggregate Contributions pursuant to this Subsection;

(4)

To the extent Elective Deferrals are distributed pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, then the distribution shall be made from the Participant's Pre-Tax
Elective Deferral Account before the Participant's Roth Elective Deferral
Account, to the extent Pre-Tax Elective Deferrals were made for the Plan Year,
unless the Participant elects otherwise; and

(5)

Remaining Employer matching contributions.

(c)

Source of corrective distribution or Forfeiture. Any distribution or Forfeiture
of less than the entire amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions (and "income")
shall be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions
and "income." Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be designated
by the Employer as a distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions (and
"income"). Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be treated in
accordance with Section 4.3. However, no such Forfeiture may be allocated to a
Highly Compensated Participant whose contributions are reduced pursuant to this
Section.

(d)

Determination of income or loss. For the purpose of this Section, "income" means
the income or losses allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions, which amount
shall be determined and allocated, at the discretion of the Administrator, using
any of the methods set forth in Section 12.5(b)(4) with respect to the
calculation of "income" for Excess Contributions (applied by substituting Excess
Contributions with Excess Aggregate Contributions and by substituting amounts
taken into account under the ACP test for amounts taken into account under the
ADP test). However, effective with respect to Plan Years beginning on or after
January 1, 2006 (or if earlier, the date the final 401(m) Regulations are
effective with respect to the Plan), "income" for the period between the end of
the Plan Year and the date of the distribution (the "gap period") is required to
be distributed.

(e)

Treatment of excess amounts. Excess Aggregate Contributions attributable to
amounts other than nondeductible voluntary Employee contributions, including
forfeited matching contributions, shall be treated as Employer contributions for
purposes of Code Sections 404 and 415 even if distributed from the Plan.

(f)

Ordering of tests. The determination of the amount of Excess Aggregate
Contributions with respect to any Plan Year shall be made after first
determining the Excess Contributions, if any, to be treated as nondeductible
voluntary Employee contributions due to recharacterization for the plan year of
any other qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in Code Section
401(k)) maintained by the Employer that ends with or within the Plan Year or
which are treated as after-tax voluntary Employee contributions due to
recharacterization pursuant to Section 12.5.

72

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

(g)

Corrective Contributions. Notwithstanding the above, if the current year testing
method is being used, then within twelve (12) months after the end of the Plan
Year, the Employer may make a special Qualified Nonelective Contribution or
Employer matching contribution in accordance with one of the following
provisions which contribution shall be allocated to the Qualified Nonelective
Contribution Account or with respect to Employer matching contributions, to the
Participant's Account of each Nonhighly Compensated eligible to share in the
allocation in accordance with such provision. If the prior year testing method
is used, then a Qualified Nonelective Contribution or an Employer matching
contribution may not be made to correct the tests set forth in Section 12.6. The
Employer shall provide the Administrator with written notification of the amount
of the contribution being made and to which provision it relates.

(1)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.6. Such contribution shall be allocated in the same
proportion that each Nonhighly Compensated Participant's 414(s) Compensation for
the year bears to the total 414(s) Compensation of all Nonhighly Compensated
Participants for such year.

(2)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.6. Such contribution shall be allocated in the same
proportion that each Nonhighly Compensated Participant's 414(s) Compensation for
the year bears to the total 414(s) Compensation of all Nonhighly Compensated
Participants for such year. However, for purposes of this contribution,
Nonhighly Compensated Participants who are not employed at the end of the Plan
Year shall not be eligible to share in the allocation and shall be disregarded.

(3)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.6. Such contribution shall be allocated in equal amounts
(per capita).

(4)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.6. Such contribution shall be allocated in equal amounts
(per capita). However, for purposes of this contribution, Nonhighly Compensated
Participants who are not employed at the end of the Plan Year, shall not be
eligible to share in the allocation and shall be disregarded.

(5)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.6. Such contribution shall be allocated to the Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Account of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant having
the lowest 414(s) Compensation, until one of the tests set forth in Section 12.6
is satisfied, or until such Nonhighly Compensated Participant has received the
lesser of the maximum "annual addition" pursuant to Section 4.4 or the maximum
that may be taken into account in the ACP test pursuant to Section 12.6(i)
(Targeted Contributions). This process shall continue until one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.6 is satisfied.

(6)

A Qualified Nonelective Contribution may be made on behalf of Nonhighly
Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.6. Such contribution shall be allocated to the Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Account of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant having
the lowest 414(s) Compensation, until one of the tests set forth in Section 12.6
is satisfied, or until such Nonhighly Compensated Participant has received the
lesser of the maximum "annual addition" pursuant to Section 4.4 or the maximum
that may be taken into account in the ACP test pursuant to Section 12.6(i)
(Targeted Contributions). This process shall continue until one of the tests set
forth in Section 12.6 is satisfied. However, for purposes of this contribution,
Nonhighly Compensated Employees who are not employed at the end of the Plan Year
shall not be eligible to share in the allocation and shall be disregarded.

(7)

A "matching contribution" may be made on behalf of Nonhighly Compensated
Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set forth in
Section 12.6. Such contribution shall be allocated on behalf of each Nonhighly
Compensated Participant in the same proportion that each Nonhighly Compensated
Participant's Elective Deferrals for the year bears to the total Elective
Deferrals of all Nonhighly Compensated Participants. The Employer shall
designate, at the time the contribution is made, whether the contribution made
pursuant to this provision shall be a Qualified Matching Contribution or an
Employer Nonelective Contribution.

(8)

A "matching contribution" may be made on behalf of Nonhighly Compensated
Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy one of the tests set forth in
Section 12.6. Such contribution shall be allocated on behalf of each Nonhighly
Compensated Participant in the same proportion that each Nonhighly Compensated
Participant's Elective Deferrals for the year bears to the total Elective
Deferrals of all Nonhighly Compensated Participants. The Employer shall
designate, at the time the contribution is made, whether the contribution made
pursuant to this provision shall be a Qualified Matching Contribution or an
Employer Nonelective Contribution. However, for purposes of this contribution,
Nonhighly Compensated Participants who are not employed at the end of the Plan
Year shall not be eligible to share in the allocation and shall be disregarded.

(h)

Excise tax. Any Excess Aggregate Contributions (and "income") which are
distributed after 2 1/2 months after the end of the Plan Year shall be subject
to the ten percent (10%) Employer excise tax imposed by Code Section 4979.

73

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

12.8

SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS

(a)

Election of Safe Harbor. The provisions of this Section will apply if the
Employer has elected, in the Adoption Agreement, to use the "ADP test safe
harbor" or "ACP test safe harbor." If the Employer has elected to use the "ADP
test safe harbor" for a Plan Year, then the provisions relating to the ADP test
described in Section 12.4 and in Code Section 401(k)(3) do not apply for such
Plan Year. In addition, if the Employer has also elected to use the "ACP test
safe harbor" for a Plan Year, then the provisions relating to the ACP test
described in Section 12.6 and in Code Section 401(m)(2) do not apply for such
Plan Year. Furthermore, to the extent any other provision of the Plan is
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section, the provisions of this Section
will govern.

(b)

Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply:

(1)

"ACP test safe harbor" means the method described in subsection (d) below for
satisfying the ACP test of Code Section 401(m)(2).

(2)

"ACP test safe harbor matching contributions" means "matching contributions"
described in subsection (d)(1).

(3)

"ADP test safe harbor" means the method described in subsection (c) for
satisfying the ADP test of Code Section 401(k)(3).

(4)

"ADP test safe harbor contributions" means "matching contributions" and
nonelective contributions described in subsection (c)(1) below.

(5)

"Compensation" means Compensation as defined in Section 1.14, except, for
purposes of this Section, no dollar limit, other than the limit imposed by Code
Section 401(a)(17), applies to the Compensation of a Nonhighly Compensated
Employee.

(6)

"Eligible Participant" means a Participant who is eligible to make Elective
Deferrals under the Plan for any part of the Plan Year (or who would be eligible
to make Elective Deferrals but for a suspension due to a hardship distribution
described in Section 12.9 or to statutory limitations, such as Code Sections
402(g) and 415) and who is not excluded as an "eligible Participant" under the
401(k) safe harbor elections in the Adoption Agreement.

(7)

"Matching contributions" means contributions made by the Employer on account of
an "eligible Participant's" Elective Deferrals.

(c)

Satisfying ADP safe harbor. The provisions of this subsection apply for purposes
of satisfying the "ADP test safe harbor."

(1)

The "ADP test safe harbor contribution" is the contribution, elected by the
Employer in the 401(k) Safe Harbor Provisions Section of the Adoption Agreement,
to be used to satisfy the "ADP test safe harbor." However, if no contribution is
elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer will contribute to the Plan for
the Plan Year a "basic matching contribution" on behalf of each Eligible
Employee. The "basic matching contribution" is equal to (i) one hundred percent
(100%) of the amount of an "eligible Participant's" Elective Deferrals that do
not exceed three percent (3%) of the Participant's "Compensation" for the Plan
Year, plus (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Participant's Elective
Deferrals that exceed three percent (3%) of the Participant's "Compensation" but
do not exceed five percent (5%) of the Participant's "Compensation." If the
Employer elects to use a period other than the Plan Year for determining a
"basic matching contribution" or an "enhanced matching contribution," then such
matching contribution with respect to a payroll period must be deposited into
the Plan by the last day of the Plan Year quarter following the Plan Year
quarter for which the applicable Elective Deferrals are made.

(2)

Except as provided in subsection (e) below, for purposes of the Plan, a "basic
matching contribution" or an "enhanced matching contribution" will be treated as
a Qualified Matching Contribution and a safe harbor Nonelective Contribution
will be treated as a Qualified Nonelective Contribution. Accordingly, the "ADP
test safe harbor contributions" will be fully Vested and subject to the
distribution restrictions set forth in Section 12.2(d) (i.e., may generally not
be distributed on account of hardship nor earlier than separation from service,
death, disability, an event described in Code Section 401(k)(1), or, in case of
a profit sharing plan, the attainment of age 59 1/2). In addition, such
contributions must satisfy the "ADP test safe harbor" without regard to
permitted disparity under Code Section 401(l).

(3)

Notwithstanding the requirement that the Employer make the "ADP test safe harbor
contribution" to this Plan, if the Employer so elects in the Adoption Agreement,
the "ADP test safe harbor contribution" will be made to the defined contribution
plan indicated in the Adoption Agreement. However, such contributions will be
made to this Plan unless (i) each Employee eligible under this Plan is also
eligible under the other plan, and (ii) the other plan has the same Plan Year as
this Plan.

(4)

Within a reasonable period before the beginning of the Plan Year (or, in the
year an Eligible Employee becomes a Participant, within a reasonable period
before the employee becomes eligible), the Employer will provide each "eligible
Participant" a comprehensive notice of the Participant's rights and obligations
under the Plan, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average
Participant. The determination of whether a notice satisfies the timing
requirement of this paragraph is based on all of the relevant facts and
circumstances. However, the timing requirement of the notice is deemed to

74

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

be satisfied if at least thirty (30) days, but not more than ninety (90) days,
before the beginning of the Plan Year, the Employer will provide each "eligible
Participant" a comprehensive notice of the Participant's rights and obligations
under the Plan, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average
Participant. However, if an Employee becomes eligible after the 90th day before
the beginning of the Plan Year and does not receive the notice for that reason,
the notice must be provided no more than ninety (90) days before the Employee
becomes eligible but not later than the date the Employee becomes eligible.

(5)

In addition to any other election periods provided under the Plan, each
"eligible Participant" may make or modify a deferral election during the thirty
(30) day period immediately following receipt of the notice described in
subsection (4) above. Furthermore, if the "ADP test safe harbor" is a "matching
contribution" each Eligible Employee must be permitted to elect sufficient
Elective Deferrals to receive the maximum amount of "matching contributions"
available to the Participant under the Plan.

(d)

Application of "ACP test safe harbor." The provisions of this subsection apply
if the Employer has elected to satisfy the "ACP test safe harbor."

(1)

In addition to the "ADP test safe harbor contributions," the Employer will make
any "matching contributions" in accordance with elections made in the Adoption
Agreement. Such additional "matching contributions" will be considered "ACP test
safe harbor matching contributions."

(2)

Notwithstanding any election in the Adoption Agreement to the contrary, an
"eligible Participant's" Elective Deferrals in excess of six percent (6%) of
"Compensation" may not be taken into account in applying "ACP test safe harbor
matching contributions." In addition, any portion of an "ACP test safe harbor
matching contribution" attributable to a discretionary "matching contribution"
may not exceed four percent (4%) of an "eligible Participant's" "Compensation."

(e)

Application of ACP test. The Plan is required to satisfy the ACP test of Code
Section 401(m)(2), using the current year testing method, if the Plan permits
after-tax voluntary Employee contributions or if matching contributions that do
not satisfy the "ACP test safe harbor" may be made to the Plan. In such event,
only "ADP test safe harbor contributions" or "ACP test safe harbor
contributions" that exceed the amount needed to satisfy the "ADP test safe
harbor" or "ACP test safe harbor" (if the Employer has elected to use the "ACP
test safe harbor") may be treated as Qualified Nonelective Contributions or
Qualified Matching Contributions in applying the ACP test. In addition, in
applying the ACP test, elective contributions may not be treated as matching
contributions under Code Section 401(m)(3). Furthermore, in applying the ACP
test, the Employer may elect to disregard with respect to all "eligible
Participants" (1) all "matching contributions" if the Plan satisfies the "ACP
test safe harbor" and (2) "matching contributions" that do not exceed four
percent (4%) of each Participant's "Compensation" if the Plan satisfies the "ADP
test safe harbor" using matching contributions (the "basic matching
contribution" or the "enhanced matching contribution") and the "ACP test safe
harbor" is not satisfied.

(f)

Modification of Top-heavy rules. The top-heavy requirements of Code Section 416
and the Plan shall not apply in any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001,
in which the Plan consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets
the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12) and matching contributions with
respect to which the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(11) are met.

(g)

Plan Year requirement. Except as provided in Regulation 1.401(k)-3(e), the Plan
will fail to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12) and this Plan
Section for a Plan Year unless such provisions remain in effect for an entire
twelve (12) month Plan Year.

(h)

Discretionary Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution. If the Employer has elected
in the Adoption Agreement to either not use the 401(k) Safe Harbor provisions or
to utilize the discretionary Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution, then the
Employer may elect to utilize the "ADP test safe harbor" provisions for a Plan
Year after the Plan Year has commenced in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection. In order to utilize this subsection, the Employer must provide a
notice in accordance with Section 12.8(c)(4) above, except that the notice must
provide that the Employer may provide the Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution
and that a supplemental notice will be provided at least thirty (30) days prior
to the last day of the Plan Year if the Employer decides to make the Safe Harbor
Nonelective Contribution. In order to implement the 401(k) Safe Harbor
provisions of this Section for the Plan Year, the Employer must (1) amend the
Adoption Agreement to provide for the Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution and,
(2) provide a supplemental notice to Participants indicating its intention to
provide such safe harbor Nonelective Contribution. The supplemental notice
indicating the Employer's intention to make the safe harbor Nonelective
Contribution must be provided no later than thirty (30) days prior to the last
day of the Plan Year for the Plan to qualify as a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan.

(i)

Elimination of safe harbor. The Employer may amend the Plan during a Plan Year
to reduce or eliminate "ADP test safe harbor contributions" for such Plan Year
subject to the following provisions.

(1)

An amendment may be made during a Plan Year to eliminate an "ADP test safe
harbor contribution" that is a "matching contribution" provided a supplemental
notice is given to all "eligible Participants" explaining the consequences and
effective date of the amendment, and that such "eligible Participants" have a
reasonable opportunity (including a reasonable period) to change their Elective
Deferral elections. The amendment reducing or eliminating the "matching
contribution" must be effective no earlier than the later of: (A) thirty (30)
days after "eligible Participants" are given the supplemental notice or (B) the
date the amendment is adopted. "Eligible Participants" must be given a
reasonable opportunity (and reasonable period) prior to the reduction or
elimination of the "matching contribution" to change their Elective Deferral
elections. If the Employer amends the

75

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

Plan to reduce or eliminate the "matching contribution," then except as provided
in Code Section 401(k) and the Regulations thereunder, the Plan is subject to
the ADP test and ACP test for the entire Plan Year.

(2)

An amendment may be made during a Plan Year to eliminate a safe harbor
Nonelective Contribution for such Plan Year only in accordance with the
provisions of Regulation Section 1.401(k)-3(f) (i.e., upon termination of the
Plan).

12.9

ADVANCE DISTRIBUTION FOR HARDSHIP

(a)

Hardship events. If elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Administrator, at the
election of a Participant, shall direct the Trustee (or Insurer) to distribute
to the Participant in any one Plan Year up to the lesser of (1) 100% of the
Accounts as selected in the Adoption Agreement valued as of the last Valuation
Date or (2) the amount necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial
need of the Participant. For purposes of this Section, a Participant shall
include an Employee who has an Account balance in the Plan. Any distribution
made pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be made as of the first day of
the Plan Year or, if later, the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of
distribution, and the Account from which the distribution is made shall be
reduced accordingly. Effective with respect to Plan Years beginning in 2006 (or
if earlier, the date the final 401(k) Regulations are effective with respect to
the Plan), withdrawal under this Section shall be authorized only if the
distribution is for one of the following or any other item permitted under
Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iii)(B) or any other federally enacted
legislation:

(1)

Expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible
under Code Section 213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses
exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income);

(2)

Costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
principal residence for the Participant;

(3)

Payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant's deceased parent,
spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, and, for taxable
years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code Section
152(d)(1)(B));

(4)

Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for
up to the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for the
Participant, the Participant's spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in
Code Section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005,
without regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B));

(5)

Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the
Participant's principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that
residence; or

(6)

Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant's principal residence that
would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined
without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income).

(b)

Other limits and conditions. No distribution shall be made pursuant to this
Section unless the Administrator, based upon the Participant's representation
and such other facts as are known to the Administrator, determines that all of
the following conditions are satisfied:

(1)

The distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy
financial need of the Participant (including any amounts necessary to pay any
federal, state, or local taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result
from the distribution);

(2)

The Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship
distributions, and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans
maintained by the Employer (to the extent the loan would not increase the
hardship);

(3)

The Plan, and all other plans maintained by the Employer, provide that the
Participant's Elective Deferrals and nondeductible voluntary Employee
contributions will be suspended, effective for Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 2001, for at least six (6) months after receipt of the hardship
distribution (twelve months for Plan Years beginning prior to 2002); and

(4)

Effective for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2002, the Plan, and all
other plans maintained by the Employer, provide that the Participant may not
make Elective Deferrals for the Participant's taxable year immediately following
the taxable year of the hardship distribution in excess of the applicable limit
under Code Section 402(g) for such next taxable year less the amount of such
Participant's Elective Deferrals for the taxable year of the hardship
distribution.

(c)

Limitation on Account withdrawals. Notwithstanding the above, distributions from
the Participant's Elective Deferral Account, Qualified Matching Contribution
Account and Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account pursuant to this Section
shall be limited solely to the Participant's Elective Deferrals and any income
attributable thereto credited to the Participant's Elective Deferral Account as
of December 31, 1988.

(d)

Other limits and conditions. If elected in the Adoption Agreement, no
distribution shall be made pursuant to this Section from the Participant's
Account until such Account has become fully Vested. Furthermore, if a hardship
distribution is permitted from more than one Account, the Administrator may
determine any ordering of a Participant's hardship distribution from such
Accounts.

76

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

(e)

Distribution rules apply. Any distribution made pursuant to this Section shall
be made in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions of
Section 6.5, including, but not limited to, all notice and consent requirements
of Code Sections 411(a)(11) and 417 and the Regulations thereunder.

ARTICLE XIII

SIMPLE 401(K) PROVISIONS

13.1

SIMPLE 401(k) PROVISIONS

(a)

If elected in the Adoption Agreement, this Plan is intended to be a SIMPLE
401(k) plan which satisfies the requirements of Code Sections 401(k)(11) and
401(m)(10).

(b)

The provisions of this Article apply for a "year" only if the following
conditions are met:

(1)

The Employer adopting this Plan is an "eligible employer." An "eligible
employer" means, with respect to any "year," an Employer that had no more than
100 Employees who received at least $5,000 of "compensation" from the Employer
for the preceding "year." In applying the preceding sentence, all employees of
an Affiliated Employer and leased employees required to be treated as Employees
under Code Section 414(n) are taken into account.

An "eligible employer" that has elected to use the SIMPLE 401(k) provisions but
fails to be an "eligible employer" for any subsequent "year," is treated as an
"eligible employer" for the two (2) "years" following the last "year" the
Employer was an "eligible employer." If the failure is due to any acquisition,
disposition, or similar transaction involving an "eligible employer," the
preceding sentence applies only if the provisions of Code Section
410(b)(6)(C)(i) are satisfied.

(2)

No contributions are made, or benefits accrued for services during the "year,"
on behalf of any "eligible employee" under any other plan, contract, pension, or
trust described in Code Section 219(g)(5)(A) or (B), maintained by the Employer.

(c)

To the extent that any other provision of the Plan is inconsistent with the
provisions of this Article, the provisions of this Article govern.

13.2

DEFINITIONS

(a)

"Compensation" means, for purposes of this Article, the sum of the wages, tips,
and other compensation from the Employer subject to federal income tax
withholding (as described in Code Section 6051(a)(3)) and the Employee's salary
reduction contributions made under this or any other 401(k) plan, and, if
applicable, elective deferrals under a Code Section 408(p) SIMPLE plan, a
SARSEP, or a Code Section 403(b) annuity contract and compensation deferred
under a Code Section 457 plan, required to be reported by the Employer on Form
W-2 (as described in Code Section 6051(a)(8)). For Self-Employed Individuals,
"compensation" means net earnings from self-employment determined under Code
Section 1402(a) prior to subtracting any contributions made under this Plan on
behalf of the individual. "Compensation" also includes amounts paid for domestic
service (as described in Code Section 3401(a)(3)). The provisions of the plan
implementing the limit on Compensation under Code Section 401(a)(17) apply to
the "compensation" under this Article.

(b)

"Eligible employee" means, for purposes of this Article, any Participant who is
entitled to make elective deferrals described in Code Section 402(g) under the
terms of the Plan.

(c)

"Year" means the calendar year.

13.3

CONTRIBUTIONS

(a)

Salary Reduction contributions

(1)

Each "eligible employee" may make a salary reduction election to have
"compensation" reduced for the "year" in any amount selected by the Employee
subject to the limitation in subsection (c) below. The Employer will make a
salary reduction contribution to the Plan, as an Elective Deferral, in the
amount by which the Employee's "compensation" has been reduced.

(2)

The total salary reduction contribution for the "year" for any Employee cannot
exceed the limitation on salary reduction contributions in effect for the year.
The limitation on salary reduction contributions is $6,000 for 2000, $6,500 for
2001, $7,000 for 2002 and increasing by $1,000 for each year thereafter up to
$10,000 for 2005 and later years. After 2005, the $10,000 limit will be adjusted
by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of living increases under Code Section
408(p)(2)(E). Any such adjustments will be in multiples of $500. Beginning in
2002, the amount of an Employee's salary reduction contributions permitted for a
"year" is increased for Employees aged 50 or over by the end of the "year" by
the amount of allowable Catch-Up Contributions. Allowable Catch-Up Contributions
are $500 for 2002, increasing by $500 for each Year thereafter up to $2,500 for
2006. After 2006, the $2,500 limit will be adjusted by the Secretary of the
Treasury for cost-of-living increases under Code Section 414(v)(2)(C). Any such
adjustments will be in multiples of $500. Catch-Up Contributions are otherwise
treated the same as other salary reduction contributions.

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

(b)

Other contributions

(1)

Matching contributions. Unless (2) below is elected, each "year" the Employer

matching contribution will be equal to the Employee's salary reduction
contribution up to a limit of three percent (3%) of the Employee's
"compensation" for the full "year."

(2)

Nonelective Contributions. For any "year," instead of a matching contribution,
the Employer may elect to contribute a nonelective contribution of two percent

ARTICLE XIV

MULTIPLE EMPLOYER PROVISIONS

14.1

ELECTION AND OVERRIDING EFFECT

If any Participating Employers are not Affiliated Employers, then the provisions
of this Article XIV shall apply to each Participating Employer as of the
Effective Date specified in its participation agreement and supersede any
contrary provisions in the basic Plan document or the Adoption Agreement. If
this Article XIV applies, then the Plan shall be a multiple employer plan as
described in Code Section 413(c). Otherwise, this Article XIV shall have no
force or effect.

78

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

14.2

DEFINITIONS

The following definitions shall apply to this Article XIV and shall supersede
any conflicting definitions in the Plan:

(a)

Employee. "Employee" means any common law employee, Self-Employed Individual,
Leased Employee or other person the Code treats as an employee of a
Participating Employer for purposes of the Participating Employer's qualified
plan. Either the Adoption Agreement or a participation agreement to the Adoption
Agreement may designate any Employee, or class of Employees, as not eligible to
participate in the Plan.

(b)

Lead Employer. "Lead Employer" means the signatory Employer to the Adoption
Agreement Execution Page, and does not include any Related Employer or
Participating Employer. The Lead Employer shall be a Participating Employer if
the Lead Employer executes a participation agreement to the Adoption Agreement.
The Lead Employer has the same meaning as the Employer for purposes of making
Plan amendments and other purposes regardless of whether the Lead Employer is
also a Participating Employer under this Article XIV.

(c)

Participating Employer. "Participating Employer" means an Employer which, with
the consent of the Lead Employer, executes a participation agreement to the
Adoption Agreement. A Participating Employer is an Employer for all purposes of
the Plan.

(d)

Professional Employer Organization (PEO). "Professional Employer Organization
(PEO)" means an organization described in Rev. Proc. 2002-21 and any successor
legislation or regulation. The Employer in its participation agreement shall
specify whether the Lead Employer is a PEO, and the term PEO shall be synonymous
with the Lead Employer. If the Lead Employer is a PEO, then:

(1)

Client Organization. Each Participating Employer (other than the PEO) is a
"Client Organization" (CO) as that term is used in Rev. Proc. 2002-21.

(2)

Worksite Employee. A "Worksite Employee" means a person on the PEO's payroll who
receives amounts from the PEO for providing services to a CO pursuant to a
service agreement between the PEO and the CO. For all purposes of this Plan, a
Worksite Employee shall be deemed to be the Employee of the CO for whom the
Worksite Employee performs services, and not of the PEO.

Nothing in this Section shall be treated as modifying the definition of
"Employer" as shown in Article I. For example, a controlled group of
corporations that is unrelated to the Lead Employer may adopt the Plan, but that
group shall be treated as one Employer to the extent required by the Plan and
applicable regulations.

14.3

PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER ELECTIONS

In the participation agreement, the Lead Employer shall specify whether a PEO
may modify any elections, which elections the Participating Employer can modify,
and any restrictions on the modifications. Any such modification shall apply
only to the employees of that Participating Employer. The Participating Employer
shall make any such modification by selecting the appropriate option on its
participation agreement to the Lead Employer's Adoption Agreement. To the extent
that the Adoption Agreement does not permit modification of an election, any
attempt by a Participating Employer to modify the election shall have no effect
on the Plan and the Participating Employer is bound by the Plan terms as
selected by the Lead Employer. If a Participating Employer does not make any
permissible participation agreement election modifications, then with regard to
any election, the Participating Employer is bound by the Adoption Agreement
terms as completed by the Lead Employer.

14.4

HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE STATUS

Status as a Highly Compensated Employee under Section 1.38 shall be determined
separately with respect to each Participating Employer.

14.5

TESTING

(a)

Separate Status. The Plan Administrator shall perform the tests listed below
separately for each Participating Employer, with respect to the Employees of
that Participating Employer. For this purpose, the Employees of a Participating
Employer, and their allocations and accounts, shall be treated as though they
were in separate plan. Any correction action, such as additional contributions
or corrective distributions, shall only affect the Employees of the
Participating Employer. The tests subject to this separate treatment are:

(1)

The Actual Deferral Percentage test in Section 12.4.

(2)

The Actual Contribution Percentage test in Section 12.6.

(3)

Nondiscrimination testing as described in Code Section 401(a)(4) and the
applicable Treasury regulations.

(4)

Coverage testing as described in Code Section 410(b) and the applicable Treasury
regulations.

79

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

(b)

Joint Status. The following tests shall be performed for the plan as whole,
without regard to employment by a particular Participating Employer:

(1)

Applying the Annual Addition limitation in Section 4.4.

(2)

Applying the Code Section 402(g) limitation in Section 12.2.

(3)

Applying the limit on catch-up contributions in Section 12.2.

14.6

TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

The Plan will apply the provisions of Article IX separately to each
Participating Employer. The Plan will be considered separate plans for each
Participating Employer and its Employees for purposes of determining whether
such a separate plan is top-heavy under Section 9.1 or is entitled to the
exemption described in Section 12.8(f). For purposes of applying this Article to
a Participating Employer, the Participating Employer and any business which is
related to that Participating Employer shall be the "Employer" for purposes of
Section 9.1, and the terms "Key Employee" and "Non-Key Employee" shall refer
only to the Employees of that Participating Employer. If such a Participating
Employer's separate plan is top-heavy, then:

Key Employee contribution rate under Section 4.3(g) by reference to the Key
Employees and their allocations in the separate plan of that Participating
Employer;

Participating Employer has not separated from service or had a severance from
employment.

14.9

REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS

If a Participant is a more than 5% Owner (under Code Section 416(i) and Section
6.8(e)(6)) of any Participating Employer for which the Participant is an
Employee in the Plan Year the Participant attains age 70 1/2, then the
Participant's Required Beginning Date under Section 6.8(e)(5) shall be the April
1 following the close of the calendar year in which the Participant attains age
70 1/2.

14.10

COOPERATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

(a)

Cooperation. Each Participating Employer agrees to timely provide all
information the Plan Administrator deems necessary to insure the Plan is
operated in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the Act and will
cooperate fully with the Lead Employer, the Plan, the Plan fiduciaries and other
proper representatives in maintaining the qualified status of the Plan. Such
cooperation will include payment of such amounts into the Plan, to be allocated
to employees of the Participating Employer, which are reasonably required to
maintain the tax-qualified status of the Plan.

80

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

(b)

Indemnity. Each Participating Employer will indemnify and hold harmless the Plan
Administrator, the Lead Employer and its subsidiaries; officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, and agents of the Lead Employer; the Plan; the
Trustees, Fiduciaries, Participants and Beneficiaries of the Plan, as well as
their respective successors and assigns, against any cause of action, loss,
liability, damage, cost, or expense of any nature whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, attorney's fees and costs, whether or not suit is brought, as well
as IRS plan disqualifications, other sanctions or compliance fees or DOL
fiduciary breach sanctions and penalties) arising out of or relating to the
Participating Employer's noncompliance with any of the Plan's terms or
requirements; any intentional or negligent act or omission the Participating
Employer commits with regard to the Plan; and any omission or provision of
incorrect information with regard to the Plan which causes the Plan to fail to
satisfy the requirements of a tax-qualified plan.

14.11

TRANSITION RULES

If the Lead Employer is a PEO, and the Article XIV effective date is after the
later of the Plan's Effective Date or Restated Effective Date, then the
following transition rules shall apply to the Transition Year:

(a)

Transition Year. The "Transition Year" is the Plan Year which includes the
Article XIV effective date.

(b)

Lookback Year. The "Lookback Year" is the Plan Year immediately prior to the
Transition Year.

(c)

Employee Status. Unless the PEO designates otherwise in an addendum, for Plan

or as contributions by the CO. If the contributions are treated as PEO
contributions, then the Plan Administrator shall disregard account balances
relating to those contributions (i.e., Employer contribution account balances
prior to the Transition Year and earnings thereon) in determining whether the
separate plan of a Participating Employer is top-heavy under Section 14.6.

(f)

ADP/ACP Testing. The Plan Administrator will treat the Transition Year as the
first Plan Year of the Plan for purposes of ADP and ACP testing of a CO's
separate plan under Section 14.5.

(g)

HCE Determination. If the Worksite Employee performed services for the CO during
the Lookback Year, then only for purposes of determining HCE status, the
Worksite Employee shall be deemed to be an employee of the CO for the Transition

Compensation the PEO paid to the Worksite Employee during the Transition Year.

(h)

Required Minimum Distributions. The following rules shall apply with regard to
each Worksite Employees who, prior to January 1, 2004: (i) attained age 70 1/2,

required minimum distributions under Section 6.8.

(1)

Determination of 5% owner status. The Plan Administrator shall determine whether
such a Worksite Employee is a more than 5% owner of under Section 6.8(e)(6) is

a more than 5% owner under paragraph (1) shall be April 1, 2005.

14.12

INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION

Unless the Lead Employer provides otherwise in an addendum hereto, the Lead
Employer shall have the power to terminate the participation of any
Participating Employer (hereafter "Terminated Employer") in this Plan. If and
when the Lead Employer wishes to exercise this power, the following shall occur:

(a)

Notice. The Lead Employer shall give the Terminated Employer a notice of the
Lead Employer's intent to terminate the Terminated Employer's status as a
Participating Employer of the Plan. The Lead Employer will provide such notice
not less than 30 days prior to the date of termination unless the Lead Employer
determines that the interest of Plan Participants requires earlier termination.

(b)

Spin-off. The Lead Employer shall establish a new defined contribution plan,
using the provisions of this Plan with any modifications contained in the
Terminated Employer's participation agreement, as a guide to establish a new
defined contribution plan (the "Spin-off Plan"). The Lead Employer will direct
the Trustee to transfer (in accordance with the rules of Code Section 414(l) and
the provisions of Section 8.3) the Accounts of the Employees of the Terminated
Employer to the Spin-off Plan. The Terminated  Employer shall be the Employer,
Plan Administrator, and Sponsor of the Spin-off Plan. The Trustee of the
Spin-off Plan shall be the person or entity designated by the Terminated
Employer, or, in the absence of any such designation, the chief

81

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

executive officer of the Terminated Employer. If state law prohibits the
Terminated Employer from serving as Trustee, the Trustee is the president of a
corporate Terminated Employer, the managing partner of a partnership Terminated
Employer, the managing member of a limited liability company Terminated
Employer, the sole proprietor of a proprietorship Terminated Employer, or in the
case of any other entity type, such other person with title and responsibilities
similar to the foregoing. However, the Lead Employer shall have the option to
designate an appropriate financial institution as Trustee instead if necessary
to protect the interest of the Participants. The Lead Employer shall have the
authority to charge the Terminated Employer or the Accounts of the Employees of
the Terminated Employer a reasonable fee to pay the expenses of establishing the
Spin-off Plan.

(c)

Alternatives. The Terminated Employer, in lieu of creation of the Spin-off plan
under (b) above, has the option to elect one of two other alternatives to effect
the termination of its status as a Participating Employer. To exercise this
option, the Terminated Employer must inform the Lead Employer of its choice, and
must supply any reasonably required documentation as soon as practical. If the
Lead Employer has not received notice of a Terminated Employer's exercise of
this option within five (5) days prior to termination, the Lead Employer can
choose to disregard the exercise and proceed with the Spin-off. The Terminated
Employer's alternatives are:

(1)

Distribution. If the Terminated Employer elects this option, the Plan
Administrator shall distribute the account balances of the Employees of the
Terminated Employer as soon as practical after termination. However, if such an
Employee is also employed by another Participating Employer, the Plan
Administrator shall not distribute that Employee's balance but shall continue to
hold such account balance  pursuant to the terms of the Plan. All account
balances distributed under this paragraph shall be 100% vested. However, no such
distribution can violate the restrictions of Section 6.5 or Section 6.6. If this
Plan includes Elective Deferrals or other restricted balances under Section
12.2, the termination of the Participating Employer's sponsorship of this Plan
shall be deemed to be a termination of the Plan and the Plan Year as to the
Employees received distributions under this paragraph; however, the Terminated
Employer must deliver to the Lead Employer or Plan Administrator such
documentation or other assurances that the Plan Administrator shall reasonably
require to affirm that the Terminated Employer has neither established nor will
establish an alternative defined contribution plan in violation of Section 12.2.

(2)

Transfer. If the Terminated Employer selects this option, the Plan Administrator
shall transfer (in accordance with the rules of Code Section 414(l) and the
provisions of Section 4.7) the accounts of the Employees of the Terminated
Employee to a qualified plan the Terminated Employer maintains. To exercise this
option, the Terminated Employer must deliver to the Lead Employer or Plan
Administrator in writing the name and other relevant information of the
transferee plan and must provide such assurances that the Plan Administrator
shall reasonable require to demonstrate that the transferee plan is a qualified
plan.

(d)

Participants. The Employees of the Terminated Employer shall cease to be
eligible to accrue additional benefits under the Plan with respect to
Compensation paid by the Terminated Employer, effective as of the date of
termination. To the extent that these Employees have accrued but unpaid
contributions as of the date of termination, the Terminated Employer shall pay
such amounts to the Plan or the Spin-off Plan no later than thirty (30) days
after the date of termination, unless the Terminated Employer effectively
selects the Transfer option under subsection (2) above.

(e)

Consent. By its signature on the participation agreement, the Terminated
Employer specifically consents to the provisions of this Article and agrees to
perform its responsibilities with regard to the Spin-off Plan, if necessary.

14.13

VOLUNTARY TERMINATION

A Participating Employer (hereafter "Withdrawing Employer") may voluntarily
withdraw from participation in this Plan at time. If and when a Withdrawing
Employer wishes to withdraw, the following shall occur:

(a)

Notice. The Withdrawing Employer shall inform the Lead Employer and the Plan
Administrator of its intention to withdraw from the Plan. The Withdrawing
Employer must give the notice not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of its withdrawal.

(b)

Procedure. The Withdrawing Employer and the Lead Employer shall agree upon
procedures for the orderly withdrawal of the Withdrawing Employer from the plan.
Such procedures may include any of the optional distribution, spin-off, or
transfer options described in Section 14.12.

(c)

Costs. The Withdrawing Employer shall bear all reasonable costs associated with
withdrawal and transfer under this section.

(d)

Participants. The Employees of the Withdrawing Employer shall cease to be
eligible to accrue additional benefits under the Plan as to Compensation paid by
the Withdrawing Employer, effective as of the effective date of withdrawal. To
the extent that such Employees have accrued but unpaid contributions as of the
effective date of withdrawal, the Withdrawing Employer shall contribute such
amounts to the Plan or the Spin-off Plan promptly after the effective date of
withdrawal, unless the Accounts are transferred to a qualified plan the
Withdrawing Employer maintains.
