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

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
TENET 2001
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

ARTICLE I
PREAMBLE AND PURPOSE

           1.1       Preamble. This Third Amended and Restated Tenet 2001
Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) of Tenet Healthcare Corporation (the
“Company”), adopted on December 4, 2001, by the Compensation Committee, amends
and restates the Second Amended and Restated Tenet Healthcare Corporation 2001
Deferred Compensation Plan adopted on July 24, 2001, and the First Amended and
Restated Tenet Healthcare Corporation 2001 Deferred Compensation Plan adopted on
May 22, 2001. The Plan is intended to permit the Company to attract and retain a
select group of management or highly compensated employees and Directors of the
Company.

           Effective as of December 5, 1995, the Company adopted the Tenet
Executive Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Savings Plan (as the same has
been amended from time to time, the “Supplemental Plan”). The Company intends to
transfer to this Plan amounts held for the benefit of certain participants in
the Supplemental Plan, other than those balances held for the benefit of
physician-employees who participate in the Supplemental Plan and participants
who are in pay-out status as of December 31, 2000, under the Supplemental Plan.
In addition, the Company may adopt one or more trusts to serve as a possible
source of funds for the payment of benefits under this Plan.

           1.2       Purpose. Through this Plan, the Company intends to permit
the deferral of compensation and to provide additional benefits to Directors and
a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company.
Accordingly, it is intended that this Plan shall not constitute a “qualified
plan” subject to the limitations of Section 401 (a) of the Code, nor shall it
constitute a “funded plan”, for purposes of such requirements. It also is
intended that this Plan shall be exempt from the participation and vesting
requirements of Part 2 of Title I of the Act, the funding requirements of Part 3
of Title I of the Act, and the fiduciary requirements of Part 4 of Title I of
the Act by reason of the exclusions afforded plans that are unfunded and
maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

ARTICLE II

ARTICLE III
PARTICIPATION AND FORFEITABILITY OF BENEFITS

           3.1       Eligibility and Participation. It is intended that
eligibility to participate in the Plan shall be limited to Eligible Employees,
as determined by the PAC, in its sole and absolute discretion. Prior to the
beginning of each Plan year, each Eligible Employee will be contacted and
informed that he/she may elect to defer portions of his/her Compensation and/or

preference designation and such other forms as the PAC or the Plan Administrator
shall determine. An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant by completing

Eligible Employee to continue as an active Participant for any subsequent Plan
Year.

           If an Eligible Employee is hired/retained during the Plan Year and
designated by the PAC to be a Participant for such year, such Eligible Employee
may elect to participate within 30 days from the date he/she is notified that
he/she is eligible to participate in

(8)

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

the Plan, for the remainder of such Plan Year, by completing all required forms
and making a deferral election pursuant to Section 4.1. Designation as a
Participant for the Plan Year in which he/she is hired/retained shall not
entitle the Eligible Employee to continue as an active Participant for any
subsequent Plan Year.

           A Participant under this Plan who separates from employment with the
Company, or who ceases to be a Director, will continue as an inactive
Participant under this Plan until the Participant has received payment of all

Employee shall cease active participation in the Plan because the Eligible
Employee is no longer described as a Participant pursuant to this Section 3.1,
or because he/she shall cease making deferrals of Compensation and/or Bonuses,
the Eligible Employee shall continue as an inactive Participant under this Plan
until he/she has received payment of all amounts payable to him/her under this
Plan.

           3.2       Forfeitability of Benefits. Except as provided in
Section 5.4 and Section 6.1, a Participant shall at all times have a
nonforfeitable right to amounts credited to his/her Account pursuant to
Section 4.3, subject to the distribution provisions of Article V. As provided in
Section 7.2, however, each Participant shall be only a general creditor of the
Company or the Participant’s employing Affiliate with respect to the payment of
any benefit under this Plan.

ARTICLE IV
DEFERRAL, COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS, ACCOUNTING
AND INVESTMENT CREDITING RATES

           4.1       Deferral. An Eligible Employee who is designated by the PAC
to be an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year may become a Participant for such
Plan Year by electing to defer Compensation and/or his/her Bonus pursuant to an
Election Form. Such Election Form shall be submitted to the Company not later
than a date to be set by the Plan Administrator and shall be effective with
respect to deferral elections with the first paycheck dated on or after the next
following January 1. In the case of an Eligible Employee who is hired/retained
during the Plan Year, the Election Form shall be entered into within 30 days
after the Eligible Employee is provided with notice of his/her eligibility to
participate in the Plan and shall only be effective with respect to deferral
elections with respect to Compensation and/or Bonuses earned after the date such
Election Form is received by the Plan Administrator. A Participant’s Election
Form shall only be effective with respect to a single Plan Year and shall be
irrevocable for the duration of such Plan Year. Deferral elections for each
subsequent Plan Year of participation shall be made pursuant to a new Election
Form.

           Compensation deferred by a Participant may be distributed, at the
Participant’s election, either in a lump sum or, in certain instances as
described herein, in equal monthly installments over a period of not less than
one year nor more than 15 years. On each Election Form, the Participant shall
specify the method in which Compensation and/or Bonuses deferred under the Plan
shall be paid. If the Participant, during the Open Enrollment Period, elects a
different method of payment on a subsequent Election Form, such form

(9)

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

of payment election shall supersede any prior payment elections made on an
earlier Election Form, provided such election has been in effect for 12 months.

           Four types of deferrals may be made under the Plan:

             (a)       Basic Deferral. Each Eligible Employee may elect to defer
a stated dollar amount, or designated full percentage, of Compensation to the
Plan up to a maximum percentage of 75% (100% for Directors) of the Eligible
Employee’s Compensation for such Plan Year. The Company shall not make any
Matching Contributions with respect to any Basic Deferrals made to the Plan.

             (b)       Bonus Deferral. Each Eligible Employee may elect to defer
a stated dollar amount, or designated full percentage, of his/her Bonus to the
Plan up to a maximum percentage of 100% (97% if a Supplemental Deferral is
elected pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) of the Employee’s Bonus for such Plan Year.
The Company shall not make any Matching Contributions with respect to any Bonus
Deferrals made to the Plan.

             (c)       Supplemental Deferral. Each Eligible Employee may elect
to make Supplemental Deferrals to the Plan in accordance with the following
provisions of this Section 4.1(c).

             (i)       Statutory Limits. Each Eligible Employee who is also a
participant in the 401 (k) Plan may elect to automatically have 3% of his/her
Compensation deferred under the Plan when he/she reaches any of the following
statutory limitations under the 401 (k) Plan: (A) the limitation on Compensation
under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, as such limit is adjusted for cost of
living increases; (B) the limitation imposed on elective deferrals under
Section 402(g) of the Code, as such limit is adjusted for cost of living
increases; (C) the limitations on contributions and benefits under Section 415
of the Code; or (D) the limitations on contributions imposed by the 401(k) Plan
administrator in order to satisfy the limitations on contributions under
sections 401 (k) and 401 (m) of the Code.

             (ii)       Bonus. Each Eligible Employee who is also a participant
in the 401 (k) Plan may elect to automatically have 3% of his/her Bonus deferred
under the Plan as a Supplemental Deferral whether or not the Eligible Employee
has reached the statutory limitations under the 401 (k) Plan described in
Section 4.1(c)(i). This Supplemental Deferral shall be applied to that portion
of the Eligible Employee’s Bonus in excess of that deferred as a Bonus Deferral
under Section 4.1(b). For example, if the Eligible Employee elects to defer 50%
of his/her Bonus under Section 4.1(b) and also elects to make a Supplemental
Deferral under this Section 4.1(c), 50% of the Eligible Employee’s Bonus will be
deferred under Section 4.1(b) and 3% of the Eligible Employee’s Bonus will be
deferred under this Section 4.1(c).

(10)

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

             (iii)       401(k) Plan Before-Tax Savings Contribution
Eligibility. Each Eligible Employee who elects to participate in this Plan prior
to the date on which he/she becomes eligible to make before-tax savings
contributions to the 401(k) Plan, may elect, until such 401(k) Plan before-tax
contribution eligibility date, to defer 3% of his/her Compensation under the
Plan as a Supplemental Deferral for such Plan Year. Upon the Eligible Employee’s
401 (k) Plan before-tax contribution eligibility date, his/her Supplemental
Deferrals under this Section 4.1(c)(iii) shall cease and any subsequent
Supplemental Deferrals shall only be made by the Employee pursuant to
Section 4.1(c)(i) or Section 4.1(c)(ii), as applicable.

             (d)       Discretionary Deferral. The PAC may authorize an Eligible
Employee to defer a stated dollar amount, or designated full percentage, of
Compensation to the Plan as a Discretionary Deferral. The PAC, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may limit the amount or percentage of Compensation an
Eligible Employee may defer to the Plan as a Discretionary Deferral. The Company
shall not make any Matching Contributions pursuant to Section 4.2(a) with
respect to any Discretionary Deferrals, but may elect to make a Discretionary
Contribution to the Plan with respect to such Discretionary Deferrals in the
form of a discretionary matching contribution as described in Section 4.2(b).

           4.2       Company Contributions.

             (a)       Matching Contribution. The Company shall make a Matching
Contribution to the Plan each Plan Year on behalf of each Participant who makes
a Supplemental Deferral to the Plan. Such Matching Contribution shall equal 100%
of the Participant’s Supplemental Deferrals for such Plan Year. In addition, the
Company shall make a Matching Contribution to the Plan for the Plan Year on
behalf of each Participant who is eligible to participate in the 401 (k) Plan
but is not eligible to receive an employer matching contribution under the
401 (k) Plan by reason of the one year eligibility service requirement. Such
Matching Contribution shall equal 3% of the Participant’s Compensation earned
during the period beginning on the date on which such Participant elects to make
Supplemental Deferrals to the Plan in accordance with Section 4.1(c)(iii).

             (b)       Discretionary Contribution. The Company may elect to make
a Discretionary Contribution to a Participant’s Account in such amount, and at
such time, as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. If a
Participant who is a Covered Person receives a Discretionary Contribution, that
Participant shall not be permitted to receive that Discretionary Contribution
until such Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated; provided,
however, that if such Participant has elected to receive a distribution upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control and a Change of Control occurs, such
Participant shall be entitled to receive such Change of Control distribution in
accordance with Section 5.9 of this Plan.

(11)

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

             (c)       Supplemental Director Contribution. The Company shall
make a Supplemental Director Contribution to the Plan on behalf of each Director
who makes a Basic Deferral and makes a request for amounts deferred to be
invested in Stock Units pursuant to Section 4.4(b). On each date on which a
Director’s Basic Deferral is invested in Stock Units, the Company will make a
Supplemental Director Contribution in an amount equal to 15% of the amount of
the Director’s Basic Deferral invested in Stock Units on such date. Such
Supplemental Director Contribution shall be invested in Stock Units for the
account of such Director.

           4.3       Accounting for Deferred Compensation.

             (a)       Cash Account. If a Participant has made an election to
defer his/her Compensation and/or Bonus and has made a request for amounts
deferred to be invested pursuant to Section 4.4(a), the Company may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, establish and maintain a cash Account for the
Participant under this Plan. Each cash Account shall be adjusted at least
quarterly to reflect the Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental
Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Discretionary
Contributions credited thereto, earnings or losses credited on such Basic
Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals,
Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions, and any payment or
withdrawal of such Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental Deferrals,
Discretionary Deferrals and, Matching Contributions and Discretionary
Contributions. The amounts of Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental
Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals and Matching Contributions shall be credited
to the Participant’s cash Account within five business days of the date on which
such Compensation and/or Bonus would have been paid to the Participant had the
Participant not elected to defer such amount pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Plan. Any Discretionary Contributions shall be credited to
each Participant’s cash Account at such times as determined by the Compensation
Committee. In the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator, more
than one cash Account may be established for each Participant to facilitate
record-keeping convenience and accuracy. Each such cash Account shall be
credited and adjusted as provided in this Plan.

             (b)       Stock Unit Account. If a Participant has made an election
to defer his/her Compensation and/or Bonus and has made a request for amounts
deferred to be invested in Stock Units pursuant to Section 4.4(b), the Company
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish and maintain a Stock Unit
Account and credit the Participant’s Stock Unit Account, within five business
days of the date on which such Compensation and/or Bonus otherwise would have
been payable, with a number of Stock Units determined by dividing an amount
equal to the Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental Deferrals,
Discretionary Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions
made as of such date by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the fifth
day following the date such Compensation and/or Bonus otherwise would have been

(12)

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

  payable. In the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator, more
than one Stock Unit Account may be established for each Participant to
facilitate record-keeping convenience and accuracy.

             (i)       The Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Stock Unit
Account shall be used solely as a device for determining the number of shares of
Stock eventually to be distributed to the Participant in accordance with this
Plan. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property of the Participant or as
a trust fund of any kind. No Participant shall be entitled to any voting or
other stockholder rights with respect to Stock Units credited under this Plan.

             (ii)       If the outstanding shares of Stock are increased,
decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other
securities, or if additional shares or new or different shares or other
securities are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other
securities, through merger, consolidation, spin-off, sale of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
distribution with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, an
appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made by the Compensation
Committee in the number and kind of Stock Units credited to a Participant’s
Stock Unit Account.

             (c)       Accounts Held in Trust. Amounts credited to Participants’
Accounts may be secured by one or more trusts, as provided in Section 7.1, but
shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors. Although the
principal of such trust and any earnings or losses thereon shall be separate and
apart from other funds of the Company and shall be used for the purposes set
forth therein, neither the Participants nor their Beneficiaries shall have any
preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership in, any assets of the trust
prior to the time such assets are paid to the Participant or Beneficiaries as
benefits and all rights created under this Plan shall be unsecured contractual
rights of Plan Participants and Beneficiaries against the Company. Any assets
held in the trust shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general
creditors under federal and state law in the event of insolvency. The assets of
any trust established pursuant to this Plan shall never inure to the benefit of
the Company and the same shall be held for the exclusive purpose of providing
benefits to Participants and their beneficiaries.

           4.4       Investment Crediting Rates. At the time of making a
deferral election described in Section 4.1, the Participant shall request on an
Election Form the type of investment crediting rate option with which the
Participant would like the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
credit the Participant: one of several investment crediting rate options payable
in cash or an investment crediting rate option based on the performance of the
price of the Company’s Stock and payable in the Company’s Stock.

             (a)       Cash Investment Crediting Rate Options. A Participant may
request on an Election Form the type of investment in which the Participant
would like amounts deferred by the Participant to be deemed invested for
purposes of determining the amount of earnings or losses to be credited or
losses to be debited to his/her cash Account. The Participant shall specify
his/her preference from among the following possible investment crediting rate
options:

(13)

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

             (i)       An annual rate of interest equal to 1% below the prime
rate of interest as quoted by Bloomberg, compounded daily; or

             (ii)       One or more benchmark mutual funds.

                         A Participant may change, on a daily basis, the
investment crediting rate preference under this Section 4.4(a) by filing an
election in such manner as shall be determined by the PAC. Notwithstanding any
request made by a Participant, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall determine the investment rate with which to credit amounts deferred by
Participants under this Plan, provided, however, that if the Company chooses an
investment crediting rate other than the investment crediting rate requested by
the Participant, such investment crediting rate cannot be less than (i) above.

             (b)       Stock Units. A Participant may request on an Election
Form to have amounts deferred by him/her invested in Stock Units. Deferrals
invested in Stock Units are irrevocable and shall be distributed in an
equivalent whole number of shares of Stock. Any fractional share interests shall
be paid in cash with the last distribution.

             (c)       Deemed Election. In his/her request(s) pursuant to this
Section 4.4, the Participant may request that all or any multiple of his/her
Account (in whole percentage increments) be deemed invested in one or more of
the investment crediting rate preferences provided under the Plan as
communicated from time to time by the PAC. Although a Participant may express an
investment crediting rate preference, the Company shall not be bound by such
request. If a Participant fails to set forth his/her investment crediting rate
preference under this Section 4.4, he/she shall be deemed to have elected an
annual rate of interest equal to 1% below the prime rate of interest as quoted
by Bloomberg, compounded daily. The PAC shall select from time to time, in its
sole and absolute discretion, the possible investment crediting rate options to
be offered on a Participant’s deferrals and contributions for any Plan Year.

             (d)       Transferred Accounts. The Company retains the right in
its sole and absolute discretion to transfer a Participant’s Supplemental Plan
account balance, as the Company deems appropriate, from the Supplemental Plan to
this Plan. In the event that the Company determines that a transfer of a
Participant’s Supplemental Plan account balance to this Plan is appropriate, a
Participant shall be permitted to express an investment crediting rate
preference with respect to such transferred amounts. In the event a
Participant’s Supplemental Plan account balance is transferred from the
Supplemental Plan to this Plan, such transferred amount shall be treated in all
other respects as if such amount were initially deferred pursuant to the terms
of this Plan.

(14)

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

             (e)       Company Contributions. Contributions to the Plan made by
the Company and allocated to a Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 4.2
shall be invested in accordance with the investment crediting rate requested by
such Participant on his/her Election Form for the relevant Plan Year.

ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

           5.1       General Rules. A Participant may elect to receive payment
on Basic Deferrals and Bonus Deferrals, and earnings or losses thereon, at any
of the following times:

             (a)       As soon as practicable after termination of a
Participant’s employment, retirement, Disability or death;

             (b)       In the first January following, or in the second January
following, but not later than the second January following, the Participant’s
termination of employment, retirement, Disability or death; or

             (c)       At a specified future date while still in the employ of
the Company.

           Supplemental Deferral Balances and earnings or losses thereon, are
distributable only upon a Participant’s termination of employment, retirement,
Disability or death.

           All distributions from the Plan shall be taxable as ordinary income
when received and subject to appropriate withholding of income taxes.

           5.2       Distributions Resulting from Termination. In the case of a
Participant who terminates employment with the Company for any reason and has an
Account balance of $100,000 or less, such Participant shall be paid the balance
in his/her Account in a lump sum in accordance with Section 5.1.

           A Participant who has an Account balance in excess of $100,000 may
elect either a lump sum distribution or monthly installments over a period of
not less than one nor more than 15 years. Such Participant’s Election Form that
has been in effect for at least 12 months and made during an Open Enrollment
Period shall govern the form of distribution. In the event a Participant elects
monthly installments, such installment payments will begin in accordance with
Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b). All amounts held for a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s
benefit shall be revalued annually if paid in installments.

           5.3       Scheduled In-Service Withdrawals. In the case of a
Participant who, while still in the employ of the Company, has elected a
Scheduled Withdrawal Date for distribution of his/her Basic Deferrals and Bonus
Deferrals, and earnings or losses thereon, such Participant shall receive a lump
sum payment that must occur at least two calendar years after the end of the
Plan Year in which the Basic and Bonus Deferrals occurred. A Participant may
extend the Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to Basic Deferrals and

(15)

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

Bonus Deferrals for any Plan Year, provided (i) such extension occurs at least
one year before the Scheduled Withdrawal Date, (ii) such extension is for a
period of not less than two years from the Scheduled Withdrawal Date, (iii) the
Participant may not extend the Scheduled Withdrawal Date more than two times and
(iv) any such extension shall be effective only if consented to by the PAC. All
such lump sum distributions will be paid in the January of the year specified on
the election form.

           If a Participant retires, terminates employment, incurs a Disability
or dies prior to any Scheduled Withdrawal Date, the Scheduled In-Service
Withdrawal will be disregarded and waived and the Participant’s Account balance
will be distributed after the Participant’s retirement, death, Disability or
termination of employment in the same form of distribution elected with respect
to retirement, death, Disability or termination.

           5.4       Non-Scheduled Withdrawals. A Participant shall be permitted
to elect a Non-Scheduled Withdrawal, subject to the following restrictions:

             (a)       The election to take a Non-Scheduled Withdrawal shall be
made by filing a form provided by and filed with the PAC prior to the end of any
calendar month.

             (b)       The amount of the Non-Scheduled Withdrawal shall in all
cases not exceed 90% of the gross amount of a Participant’s Account balance.

             (c)       The amount described in subsection (b) above shall be
paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the end of the month in which
the Non-Scheduled Withdrawal election is made.

             (d)       If a Participant receives a Non-Scheduled Withdrawal from
his/her Account, the Participant shall permanently forfeit an amount equal to
10% of the gross amount of the Non-Scheduled Withdrawal and the Company shall
have no obligation to the Participant or his/her Beneficiary with respect to
such forfeited amount.

             (e)       If a Participant receives a Non-Scheduled Withdrawal of
any part of his/her Account, the Participant will be ineligible to participate
in the Plan for the balance of the Plan Year and the next following Plan Year.

           5.5       Financial Necessity Distributions.

             (a)       Unforeseeable Emergency. Upon application by the
Participant, the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
direct payment of all or a portion of the Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals
and/or Discretionary Deferrals credited to the Account of a Participant prior to
his/her separation from employment or termination as a Director in the event of
an Unforeseeable Emergency. Any such application shall set forth the
circumstances constituting such Unforeseeable Emergency.

             In addition to the deferrals specified in this Section 5.5(a), upon
application by the Participant, the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may direct payment of all or a portion of the Supplemental Deferrals
credited to the Account of

(16)

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

  the Participant prior to his/her separation from employment or termination as
a Director in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Such application and
payment shall be subject to the same conditions and limitations as a request for
any other payment of deferrals under this Section 5.5.

             (b)       Foreseeable Emergency. Upon application by the
Participant, the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
direct payment of all or a portion of the Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals
and/or Discretionary Deferrals credited to the Account of a Participant prior to
his/her separation from employment or termination as a Director in the event of
an Foreseeable Emergency. Any such application shall set forth the circumstances
constituting such Foreseeable Emergency.

             (c)       General Rules Regarding Financial Necessity
Distributions. The Plan Administrator may not direct payment of any Basic
Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental Deferrals, and/or Discretionary
Deferrals credited to the Account of a Participant to the extent that such an
Emergency is or may be relieved (i) by reimbursement or compensation by
insurance or otherwise or (ii) by cessation of Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals
and/or Discretionary Deferrals under this Plan. In the event that the Plan
Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine that such
Emergency may be alleviated by such cessation of deferrals under the Plan, the
Plan Administrator shall deny such financial necessity distribution and require
the cancellation of the Participant’s Basic Deferral, Bonus Deferral and/or
Discretionary Deferral elections for the Plan Year in which an Emergency shall
occur. Conversely, if the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall determine that such Emergency may not be alleviated by such
cessation of Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and/or Discretionary Deferrals, it
may approve such financial necessity distribution. Any distribution from the
Plan due to Emergency shall be permitted only to the extent necessary to satisfy
such Emergency, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator,
both with respect to the determination as to whether an Emergency exists and
also with respect to determination of the amount distributable. The Plan
Administrator may permit a financial necessity distribution under this
Section 5.5, but as a result the Participant will be ineligible to participate
in the Plan for the balance of the Plan Year and the next following Plan Year.

           5.6       Elective Distributions. A Participant may elect to receive
a distribution of amounts credited to his/her Account upon a determination by
the Internal Revenue Service or a state taxing authority of competent
jurisdiction that amounts credited to such Account are subject to inclusion in
the gross income of such Participant or Beneficiary for federal or state income
tax purposes. Neither the PAC nor the Plan Administrator shall have any
obligation to determine whether any such determination is or has been made with
respect to any Participant and shall assume that no such determination has been
made until advised by the Participant, in writing, that such determination has
been made and that either such determination is final and binding, or that
obtaining judicial review of such determination is not reasonably likely to
result in a reversal of such determination or is economically prohibitive.

(17)

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

           5.7       Death of a Participant. If a Participant dies while
employed by the Company, the Participant’s Account balance will be paid to the
Participant’s Beneficiary in the manner elected by the Participant.

                       In the event a terminated Participant dies while
receiving installment payments, the remaining installments shall be paid to the
Participant’s Beneficiary as such payments become due.

                       In the event a terminated Participant dies before
receiving his/her lump sum payment or before he/she begins receiving installment
payments, the lump sum payment or installment payments shall be paid to the
Participant’s Beneficiary as such payments become due.

           5.8       Disability of a Participant. In the event of the Disability
of the Participant, the Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of the
Participant’s Account balance in the manner elected in advance by the
Participant and, if applicable, in accordance with Section 6.2.

           5.9       Change of Control. A Participant may, during an Open
Enrollment Period, file an Election Form in which the Participant elects to
receive a lump sum distribution of his/her Account balance in the event that a
Change of Control, as defined in Section 2.1(j), occurs. The Participant’s
election with respect to a distribution of his/her Account in the event of a
Change of Control must have been in effect for 12 months prior to the time of
the Change of Control. If elected, payment will be made as soon as practicable,
but in any event not more than six months, after the occurrence of a Change of
Control.

           Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, to the
extent that any portion of the lump sum distribution is characterized as a
parachute payment within the meaning of Proposed Regulations Section 1.280G-1
Q/A-24, or any similar Regulations, then in no event shall the present value of
such parachute payment, when added to the present value of all other parachute
payments received as a result of a Change of Control, exceed 299% of the
Participant’s “base amount” as that term is defined in Section 280G of the Code.

           If a Participant has elected to receive a lump sum distribution of
his/her Account balance in the event of a Change of Control, a portion of which
distribution is characterized as a parachute payment, and such portion, when
added to the present value of all other parachute payments to be received as a
result of a Change of Control, exceeds an amount equal to 299% of the
Participant’s base amount, then the Participant may elect (a) to revoke the
election made pursuant to this Section 5.9, or (b) to receive in a lump sum
distribution that portion of his/her Account balance which does not result in a
parachute payment with the remainder being distributed in accordance with the
Participant’s election under Section 5.1.

           5.10       Withholding. Any taxes or other legally required
withholdings from Compensation and Bonus deferrals and/or payments to
Participants or Beneficiaries hereunder shall be deducted and withheld by the
Company, benefit provider or funding agent as required pursuant to applicable
law. A Participant or Beneficiary shall be provided with a tax withholding
election form for purposes of federal and state tax withholding, if applicable.

(18)

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

           5.11       Suspension of Benefits. If a Participant terminates
service and begins receiving installment distributions and such Participant is
reemployed by the Company, then such Participant’s installment distributions
shall be suspended during the period of his/her reemployment. Upon the
Participant’s subsequent termination of service, such installment distributions
shall recommence in the same form as they were being paid before the
reemployment, unless during the period of the Participant’s reemployment he/she
is eligible to participate in the Plan and elects a different form of payment on
his/her Election Form in accordance with this Article V.

ARTICLE VI

to make interpretations under this Section 6.1, including determining who is to
receive benefits, all calculations of benefits, and the amount of taxes to be
withheld. The decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be binding on all
parties with an interest.

             (d)       Any benefits payable to an Alternate Payee pursuant to
the terms of a DRO shall be subject to all provisions and restrictions of the
Plan and any dispute regarding such benefits shall be resolved pursuant to the
Plan claims procedure in Article VIII.

           6.2       Legal Disability. If a person entitled to any payment under
this Plan shall, in the sole judgment of the Plan Administrator, be under a
legal disability, or otherwise shall be unable to apply such payment to his/her
own interest and advantage, the Plan Administrator, in the exercise of its
discretion, may direct the Company or payor of the benefit to make any such
payment in any one or more of the following ways:

             (a)       Directly to such person;

             (b)       To his/her legal guardian or conservator; or

             (c)       To his/her spouse or to any person charged with the duty
of his/her support, to be expended for his/her benefit and/or that of his/her
dependents.

           The decision of the Plan Administrator shall in each case be final
and binding upon all persons in interest, unless the Plan Administrator shall
reverse its decision due to changed circumstances.

           6.3       Assignment. Except as provided in Section 6.1, no
Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to assign, pledge, transfer,
convey, hypothecate, anticipate or in any way create a lien on any amounts
payable hereunder. No amounts payable hereunder shall be subject to assignment
or transfer or otherwise be alienable, either by voluntary or involuntary act,
or by operation of law, or subject to attachment, execution, garnishment,
sequestration or other seizure under any legal, equitable or other process, or
be liable in any way for the debts or defaults of Participants and their
Beneficiaries.

(20)

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

ARTICLE VII
FUNDING

           7.1       Funding. Benefits under this Plan shall be funded solely by
the Company and its Affiliates. Benefits under this Plan shall constitute an
unfunded general obligation of the Company, but the Company may create reserves,
funds and/or provide for amounts to be held in trust to fund such benefits on
the Company’s or its Affiliates’ behalf. Payment of benefits may be made by the
Company, any trust established by the Company or through a service or benefit
provider to the Company or such trust.

           7.2       Creditor Status. Participants and their Beneficiaries shall
be general unsecured creditors of the Company or the Participants’ employing
Affiliate(s) with respect to the payment of any benefit under this Plan, unless
such benefits are provided under a contract of insurance or an annuity contract
that has been delivered to Participants, in which case Participants and their
Beneficiaries shall look to the insurance carrier or annuity provider for
payment, and not to the Company or Affiliate. The Company’s or Affiliate’s
obligation for such benefit shall be discharged by the purchase and delivery of
such annuity or insurance contract.

  documentation as shall be required by the Plan Administrator, in its sole and
absolute discretion. Likewise, any Participant or Beneficiary who feels unfairly
treated as a result of the administration of the Plan, must file a written
claim, setting forth the basis of the claim, with the Plan Administrator. In
connection with the determination of a claim, or in connection with review of a
denied claim, the claimant may examine this Plan, and any other pertinent
documents generally available to Participants that are specifically related to
the claim.

             A written notice of the disposition of any such claim shall be

Administrator. Such notice shall refer, if appropriate, to pertinent provisions
of this Plan, shall set forth in writing the reasons for denial of the claim if
a claim is denied (including references to any pertinent provisions of this
Plan) and, where appropriate, shall explain how the claimant may perfect the
claim. If the claim is denied, in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be
notified in writing that a review procedure is available. All benefits provided
in this Plan as a result of the disposition of a claim will be paid as soon as
practicable following receipt of proof of entitlement, if requested.

             (b)       Request for Review. Within 90 days after receiving the
written notice of the Plan Administrator’s disposition of the claim, the
claimant may file with the PAC a written request for review of his/her claim. In
connection with the request for review, the claimant shall be entitled to be
represented by counsel. If the claimant does not file a written request for
review within 90 days after receiving written notice of the Plan Administrator’s
disposition of the claim, the claimant shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan
Administrator’s written disposition, unless the claimant shall have been
physically or mentally incapacitated so as to be unable to request review within
the 90 day period.

             (c)       Decision on Review. A decision on review of the claim
shall be made by the PAC at its next meeting following receipt of the written
request for review. If no meeting of the PAC is scheduled within 45 days of
receipt of the written request for review, then the PAC shall hold a special
meeting to review such written request for review within such 45-day period. If
special circumstances require an extension of the 45-day period, the PAC shall
so notify the claimant and a decision shall be rendered within 90 days of the
receipt of the request for review. In any event, if a claim is not determined by
the PAC within 90 days of receipt of written submission for review, it shall be
deemed to be denied.

             The PAC shall have the right to request of, and receive from, a
claimant such additional information, documents or other evidence as the PAC may
reasonably require. The decision of the PAC shall be in writing and shall
reference the provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. To the
extent permitted by law, a decision on review by the PAC shall be binding and
conclusive upon all persons whomsoever.

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

           8.7       Arbitration. In the event the claims review procedure
described in Section 8.6 of the Plan does not result in an outcome thought by
the claimant to be in accordance with the Plan document, he/she may appeal to a
third party neutral arbitrator. The claimant must appeal to an arbitrator within
60 days after receiving the PAC’s denial or deemed denial of his/her request for
review and before bringing suit in court.

           The arbitrator shall be mutually selected by the Participant and the
PAC from a list of arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”). If the parties are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator
within 10 days of receiving the list from the AAA, the AAA shall appoint an
arbitrator. The arbitrator’s review shall be limited to interpretation of the
Plan document in the context of the particular facts involved. The claimant, the
PAC and the Company agree to accept the award of the arbitrator as binding, and
all exercises of power by the arbitrator hereunder shall be final, conclusive
and binding on all interested parties, unless found by a court of competent
jurisdiction, in a final judgment that is no longer subject to review or appeal,
to be arbitrary and capricious. The costs of arbitration shall be shared by the
Company and the claimant; the costs of legal representation for the claimant or
witness costs for the claimant shall be borne by the claimant.

           The arbitrator shall have no power to add to, subtract from, or
modify any of the terms of the Plan, or to change or add to any benefits
provided by the Plan, or to waive or fail to apply any requirements of
eligibility for a benefit under the Plan. Nonetheless, the arbitrator shall have
absolute discretion in the exercise of its powers in this Plan. Arbitration
decisions will not establish binding precedent with respect to the
administration or operation of the Plan.

           8.8       Receipt and Release of Necessary Information. In
implementing the terms of this Plan, the PAC and Plan Administrator, as
applicable, may, without the consent of or notice to any person, release to or
obtain from any other insuring entity or other organization or person any
information, with respect to any person, which the PAC or Plan Administrator
deems to be necessary for such purposes. Any Participant or Beneficiary claiming
benefits under this Plan shall furnish to the PAC or Plan Administrator, as
applicable, such information as may be necessary to determine eligibility for
and amount of benefit, as a condition of claiming and receiving such benefit.

           8.9       Overpayment and Underpayment of Benefits. The Plan
Administrator may adopt, in its sole and absolute discretion, whatever rules,
procedures and accounting practices are appropriate in providing for the
collection of any overpayment of benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary
receives an underpayment of benefits, the Plan Administrator shall direct that
payment be made as soon as practicable to make up for the underpayment. If an
overpayment is made to a Participant or Beneficiary, for whatever reason, the
Plan Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold payment of
any further benefits under the Plan until the overpayment has been collected or
may require repayment of benefits paid under this Plan without regard to further
benefits to which the Participant or Beneficiary may be entitled.

ARTICLE IX
OTHER BENEFIT PLANS OF THE COMPANY

           9.1       Other Plans. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent a
Participant prior to his/her death, or a Participant’s spouse or other
Beneficiary after such Participant’s death, from receiving, in addition to any
payments provided for under this Plan, any payments provided for under any other
plan or benefit program of the Company or an Affiliate, or which would otherwise
be payable or distributable to him/her, his/her surviving spouse or Beneficiary
under any plan or policy of the Company or otherwise. Nothing in this Plan shall
be construed as preventing the Company or any of its Affiliates from
establishing any other or different plans providing for current or deferred
compensation for employees and/or Directors. Unless otherwise specifically
provided in any plan of the Company intended to “qualify” under Section 401 of
the Code, Compensation Deferrals made under this Plan shall constitute earnings
or compensation for purposes of determining contributions or benefits under such
qualified plan.

ARTICLE X
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

           10.1       Amendment. The Compensation Committee may amend this Plan
by duly authorized written amendment; provided that no amendment or modification
shall deprive a Participant, or person claiming benefits under this Plan through
a Participant, of any benefit accrued under this Plan up to the date of
amendment or modification, except as may be required by applicable law.

           10.2       Termination. The Compensation Committee may terminate or
suspend this Plan in whole or in Part at any time, provided that no such
termination or suspension shall deprive a Participant, or person claiming
benefits under this Plan through a Participant, of any benefit accrued under
this Plan up to the date of suspension or termination, except as required by
applicable law. Upon the complete termination of the Plan, the Compensation
Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may direct the Plan
Administrator to distribute each Participant’s account to him/her or his/her
Beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum and regardless of whether benefit
payments have previously commenced to be made to such Participant.

           10.3.       Continuation. The Company intends to continue this Plan
indefinitely, but nevertheless assumes no contractual obligation beyond the
promise to pay the benefits described in this Plan.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS

           11.1       No Reduction of Employer Rights. Nothing contained in this
Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Company or an
Affiliate and an Employee, or as a right of any Employee to continue in the
employment of the Company or an Affiliate, or as a limitation of the right of
the Company or an Affiliate to discharge any of its Employees, with or without
cause or as a right of any Director to be renominated to serve as a Director.

           11.2       Provisions Binding. All of the provisions of this Plan
shall be binding upon all persons who shall be entitled to any benefit
hereunder, their heirs and personal representatives.
