was acting in good faith and within what the Administrator reasonably understood
to be the scope of his or her duties.

3.6 CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE.  Any Employee, former Employee, or Beneficiary who
has been denied a benefit by a decision of the Administrator pursuant to Section
3.5 shall be entitled to request the Administrator to give further consideration
to his claim by filing with the Administrator a request for a hearing.  Such

information relating to the claim without regard to whether such information was
submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

The Administrator shall make a final decision as to the allowance of the claim
within 60 days of receipt of the appeal (unless there has been an extension due
to special circumstances, provided the delay and the special circumstances
occasioning it are communicated to the claimant in writing within the 60 day
period), and a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not later than
110 days after receipt of the request for review; provided, however, in the
event the claimant fails to submit information necessary to make a benefit
determination on review, such period shall be tolled from the date on which the
extension notice is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant
responds to the request for additional information.  The decision on review
shall be written or electronic and, in the case of an adverse determination,
shall include specific reasons for the decision, in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant, and specific references to the pertinent Plan
provisions on which the decision is based.  The decision on review shall also

Participant that he or she is aware of and familiar with the restrictions in the
Plan, that he or she has read and understands the Plan and Participation
Agreement, that he or she has had an opportunity to have the documents reviewed
by legal counsel and that the Participation Agreement will constitute a legal,
valid and binding agreement of Participant.

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

SECTION 5 - CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN

5.1 PARTICIPANT’S COMPENSATION DEFERRALS.  A Participant may elect to defer each
year an amount of Compensation otherwise payable to him or her.  A participant
may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her salary and/or bonus each year and
this election must be made by December 31 of the year preceding the year in
which the salary is earned, and, with respect to any bonus, no later than such
date as is permitted under Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 5.1 to the contrary, a Participant’s elections to defer annual bonuses
earned for the period from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 (the “2008 Fiscal
Year”) filed before the beginning of the 2008 Fiscal Year shall be effective
pursuant to their terms and are intended to be consistent with IRS guidance
regarding Code Section 409A in effect at the time of such elections.  With
respect to all other deferrals of Compensation that would, but for the
Participant’s election to defer, be paid on or after January 1, 2008, the
following rules shall be applicable:

(a)           With respect to salary payable during a Plan Year, an election to
defer must be made no later than such deadline as may be established by the
Committee, which deadline shall be no later than the last day of the Plan Year
preceding the Plan Year to which such deferral election relates.

(b)           With respect to bonuses payable during a Plan Year, an election to
defer must be made no later than such deadline as may be established by the
Committee, which deadline shall be no later than the last day of the Plan Year
preceding the earliest Plan Year during which occurs any portion of the period
of service to which such bonus relates.  By way of an example, if a bonus is
payable with respect to a period of service measured from July 1, 2008 through
June 30, 2009, an election to defer any portion of such bonus must be filed no
later than the applicable deadline, which cannot be later than December 31,
2007.  Except as may be otherwise permitted by the Committee, an election to
defer bonus compensation shall only be applicable to regular cash bonuses, and
shall not be applicable to bonuses paid out of the ordinary course, or other
than in the form of a cash payment.

The election to defer shall be made in the form and manner determined by the
Administrator.  The total amount of Compensation that is deferred shall be
considered as a contribution by Participant to the Plan for that year. 
Additional Participant contributions are not permitted.

5.2 INITIAL DEFERRAL ELECTION.  In the year the Plan is implemented, a
Participant may make a compensation deferral election within 30 days after the
Plan is effective, which election shall apply to amounts earned after the date
of such election.  In the first year in which an Employee becomes eligible to be
a Participant in the Plan, such Employee may make a deferral election within the
first 30 days after becoming eligible, which election shall be effective for
amounts earned after the end of such 30 day period.  All determinations of the
applicability of this initial deferral election shall be made consistent with
the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a)(7).

5.3 VESTING OF CONTRIBUTIONS.  Amounts in Participants’ Accounts and the
earnings thereon shall be Vested at all times.

5.4 COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A.  Any election to defer Compensation by a
Participant made pursuant to this Section 5 shall only be permitted to the
extent such election is

6

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

implemented in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A. 
The Administrator shall establish rules and procedures in this regard that take
into account all requirements established under Code Section 409A regarding the
timing of elections, the date as of which an election must become irrevocable to
be considered a valid election under Code Section 409A, and applicable rules
regarding what Compensation of a Participant is deemed to be earned after the
date a deferral election is made.

SECTION 6 - PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS.

6.1 MAINTENANCE OF PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS.  The Administrator shall maintain a
separate Account for each Participant, to which shall be credited the
Participant’s contributions and any increases in value determined under Sections
6.2.  These Accounts shall be for recordkeeping purposes only and no actual
funds will be deposited or set aside for any individual Participant or for the
group of Participants as a whole.

6.2 SHADOW INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS REPRESENTING PARTICIPANT DEFERRALS.  At the
election of a Participant and under rules adopted by the Administrator, a
Participant’s Account shall be treated as if it had been used to purchase one or
more specific investments and had participated in the income from and the growth
or decline in value of such investments.  Each Participant will be required to
choose the “shadow investments” for his or her Account from a list presented by
the Plan Administrator.  Except for the default shadow investment in a
hypothetical interest bearing account, as described in the second paragraph of
this Section 6.2, all of the shadow investments shall be securities or mutual
funds which are registered for sale to investors in the United States and for
which valuation quotations are readily available.  Participants will be allowed
to change such designated investments in the manner and frequency determined by
the Administrator.  Changes in value of the shadow investments shall be credited
or charged to Participants’ Accounts as these changes occur.

If the Participant does not make an election under the previous paragraph, then
for purposes of determining the balance in each Participant’s Account, such
Account shall be credited on a quarterly basis with a rate of interest with the
rate set by the Company at the beginning of each Plan Year.

6.3 STATEMENTS OF PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS.  The Administrator shall prepare or
have prepared within a reasonable period of time after the end of each Plan Year
a statement for each Participant of their Account Balance and shall send such
statement to the Participant.

SECTION 7 - DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1 DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE PLAN.  Before the beginning of each Plan Year, each
Participant shall elect whether the amounts which will or may be contributed or
credited to his or her Account that Year shall be distributed (1) in a lump sum
at a specified date, which must be no earlier than the second calendar year
following the year of deferral, (2) in equal installments beginning at a
specified date, which must be no earlier than the second calendar year following
the year of deferral, or (3) upon separation from service.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Participant’s separation from service occurs prior to the date
all distribution from the Plan have been made, a distribution of the
Participant’s remaining benefit under the Plan shall be made as

7

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

soon as practicable, consistent with Section 7.6, below, following such
Participant’s separation from service.  In addition, a Participant’s Account
shall be distributed in the event of the Participant’s (1) death, or (2)
Disability.  The Company shall deduct from any payment of benefits the amount of
any federal, state or local income or employment taxes required to be withheld
or paid with respect to the distribution.

7.2 SUBSEQUENT ELECTION TO EXTEND DEFERRAL If Participant has elected a
distribution at or beginning at a specified date pursuant to Section 7.1, or has
made any subsequent election pursuant to this Section 7.2, then Participant can
make a subsequent election to further delay that distribution, as long as (1)
such subsequent election is made at least 12 months before the previously
elected distribution date or starting date and (2) the additional deferral is
for a minimum of five years beyond the distribution date previously chosen. 
There is no limit on the number of times a Participant can further defer a
scheduled distribution, as long as (1) each such further deferral is made at
least 12 months in advance of the scheduled distribution date or starting date
and (2) is for a period at least five years beyond the scheduled distribution
date.  Any election to defer a scheduled distribution must be made in a manner
consistent with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b). 
For these purposes, an election to receive a distribution in the form of a
series of equal installments shall be treated, to the extent permissible under
Code Section 409A, as an election to receive a single payment that would be paid
as of the date of the commencement of the installment payments.

7.3 HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS.  In the event of Severe Financial Hardship, the
Participant may request that an amount no greater than his or her Vested Account
Balance be paid to him or her in order to satisfy such financial need.  Severe
Financial Hardship shall be defined as (1) resulting from an illness or accident
of Participant, Participant’s spouse or a dependent (as defined in Code Section
152(a); (2) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or (3) other
similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of
events beyond the Participant’s control.  The amount of the distribution will be
limited to the amount needed to satisfy the emergency plus taxes reasonably
anticipated as a result of the distribution.  Distribution will not be allowed
to the extent that the hardship may be relieved through reimbursement or
compensation by insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Participant’s
assets (to the extent that such liquidation would not itself cause a severe
financial hardship).  Any request for a hardship distribution shall be
considered by the Plan Administrator, whose decision whether to grant such
request shall be final.  Any Participant receiving a hardship distribution will
not be permitted to elect to defer any amount under this Plan for a period of
one year from the date of such distribution.  The Participant shall not repay to
the Company amounts distributed pursuant to this Section 7.3.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, a Participant shall not be considered to have a
Severe Financial Hardship unless the circumstances constitute an “unforeseeable
emergency” as that term is defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) and
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(3), and the amount distributable under
this Section 7.3 shall not be greater than the amount permitted under Code
Section 409A(1)(2)(B)(ii)(II) and Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(3)(ii).

7.4 LOANS.  Loans from the Plan are not permitted.

7.5 DISTRIBUTION FOR MINOR BENEFICIARY.  In the event a distribution is to be
made to a minor, then the Administrator may direct that such distribution be
paid to the legal guardian, or

8

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

if none, to a parent of such Beneficiary, or to the custodian of such
Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary resides.  Such a
payment to the legal guardian, custodian or parent of a minor Beneficiary shall
fully discharge the Company and Plan from further liability on account thereof.

7.6 COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A.  Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, no distribution of benefits shall be made to any
Participant if such distribution would violate the provisions of Code Section
409A(a)(2).  Distribution of a Participant’s Account shall, therefore, be
delayed until such time as the distribution is permissible under Code Section
409A.  Such a delay in distribution shall , for example, be required with
respect to a distribution to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as
that term is used for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) by reason of such Participant’s separation from
service, so that distribution does not occur before the date which is six months
after the date of such Participant’s separation from service.  Distribution that
may otherwise be permitted under the Plan by reason of a Participant’s
Disability, or because of a Severe Financial Hardship may not be permitted by
reason of the application of this Section 7.6 if the Participant’s Disability is
not attributable to a condition that would cause such Participant to be
considered “disabled” as that term is defined in Code Section 409A(2)(C), or if
the Participant’s Severe Financial Hardship does not qualify as an
“unforeseeable emergency” as that term is defined in Code Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(ii).

7.7 DISTRIBUTION ON CHANGE OF CONTROL.  In the event there is a transaction that
constitutes a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company, or
“in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, that
would be recognized as a permissible distribution event as defined for purposes
of Section 409A(a)(2)(v) of the Code and consistent with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “Change of Control”), then the portion of each
Participant’s account balance attributable to a Participation Agreement that
specifically elected to have such Participant’s deferred compensation benefit
distributed upon the occurrence of a Change of Control shall be distributed to
such Participant in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the
occurrence of the Change of Control.

 SECTION 8 - COMPANY-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE (“COLI”)

8.1 THE COMPANY OWNS ALL RIGHTS.  In the event that, in its discretion, the
Company purchases a life insurance policy or policies insuring the life of any
Participant to allow the Company to informally finance and/or recover, in whole
or in part, the cost of providing the benefits hereunder, neither the
Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever therein.  The
Company shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such policy or policies
and shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein, except in
the event of the establishment of and transfer of said policy or policies to a
trust by the Company as described in Section 11 hereof.

8.2 PARTICIPANT COOPERATION.  If the Company decides to purchase a life
insurance policy or policies on any Participant, the Company will so notify such
Participant.  Such Participant shall consent to being insured for the benefit of
the Company and shall take whatever actions may be necessary to enable the
Company to timely apply for and acquire such life

9

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

insurance and to fulfill the requirements of the insurance carrier relative to
the issuance thereof as a condition of eligibility to participate in the Plan.

8.3 PARTICIPANT MISREPRESENTATION.  If: (a) any Participant is required by this
Plan to submit information to any insurance carrier; and (b) the Participant
makes a material misrepresentation in any application for such insurance; and
(c) as a result of that material misrepresentation the insurance carrier is not
required to pay all or any part of the proceeds provided under that insurance,
then the Participant’s (or the Participant’s Beneficiary’s) rights to any
benefits under this Plan may be, at the sole discretion of the Company, reduced
to the extent of any reduction of proceeds that is paid by the insurance carrier
because of such material misrepresentation.

8.4 SUICIDE.  Notwithstanding any other term or provision of the Plan or this
Agreement, if a Participant dies by reason of suicide and if the Company’s
receipt of insurance proceeds is as a result reduced, then the Participant’s (or
the Participant’s Beneficiary’s) rights to any benefits under this Plan may be,
at the sole discretion of the Company, reduced to the extent of any reduction of
proceeds that is paid by the insurance carrier.

SECTION 9 - ADMINISTRATOR

9.1 RESIGNATION.  Any person or entity who has been designated to act as the
Plan Administrator or who is a member of the Committee may resign from such
position at any time by written notice to the Committee, which shall be
effective thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice or such earlier date as
agreed to by the Administrator and the Committee.

9.2 REMOVAL.  Any person or entity who has been designated to act as the Plan
Administrator or who is a member of the Committee may be removed from such
position by the Committee or the Board with or without advance notice.

9.3 APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.  If the Administrator resigns or is removed, a
successor shall be appointed, in accordance with Section 9.4, by the effective
date of resignation or removal under this Section 9.  If no such appointment has
been made, the Administrator may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for
appointment of a successor or for instructions.  All expenses of the
Administrator in connection with the proceeding shall be allowed as
administrative expenses of the Company.

9.4 SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATOR.  If any person or entity who has been designated to
act as the Plan Administrator or who is a member of the Committee resigns or is
removed in accordance with Section 9.1 or 9.2, the Committee may appoint any
other person as successor Administrator or Committee member.  The appointment
shall be effective when accepted in writing by the new Administrator.  The new
Administrator or Committee member shall have all of the rights and powers of the
former Administrator or Committee member, as the case may be.

SECTION 10 - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

10.1 AMENDMENT.  The Company shall have the right at any time to amend this
Plan.  However, no amendment shall be effective so as to reduce the amount of
any contributions already credited to Participant’s Account, to delay the
payment of any amount to a Participant

10

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

beyond the time that such amount would be payable without regard to such
amendment, or that would cause any income to be recognized by reason of a
violation of Code Section 409A.

10.2 TERMINATION.  The Company shall have the right to terminate the Plan and
distribute the Participants’ Accounts in the form of a lump sum distribution;
provided, however, that any such termination of the Plan shall be implemented in
a manner that complies with Code Section 409A and that the termination of the
Plan does not reduce the amount already credited to any Participant’s Account. 
Participants understand that in the event the Plan is terminated, the
Participants may receive a distribution of their Accounts at a date that is
earlier than would have been the case had the termination of the Plan not
occurred, and the distribution may be made in a form that differs from the form
of distribution that has been elected by the Participants.

SECTION 11 - MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS.  No right or benefit under this Plan shall be
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or
charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber,
or charge any right or benefit under this Plan or any Participation Agreement
shall be void.  No such right or benefit shall in any manner be liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled
thereto.  No amount of the benefit will, prior to payment, be subject to
garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind, and will not be
transferable by operation of law in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or
death of the employee.  If a Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder shall
become bankrupt, or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell assign, pledge,
encumber, or charge any right hereunder, then such right or benefit shall, in
the discretion of the Committee, cease and terminate, and in such event, the
Committee may hold or apply the same or any part thereof for the benefit of the
Participant or his or her Beneficiary, spouse, children, or other dependents, or
any of them in such manner and in such amounts and proportions as the Committee
may deem proper.

11.2 UNSECURED LIABILITY.  The obligation of the Company to make payments
hereunder to a Participant shall constitute an unsecured liability of the
Company.  Such payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company and
the Company shall not be required to establish or maintain any special or
separate fund, to purchase or acquire life insurance on a Participant’s life, or
otherwise to segregate assets to assure that such payments shall be made. 
Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any interest in any
particular asset of the Company by reason of its obligations hereunder and the
right of any of them to receive payments under this Plan shall be no greater
than the right of any other unsecured general creditor of the Company.  Nothing
contained in the Plan shall create or be construed as creating a trust of any
kind or any other fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant
or any other person.

11.3 NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT.  This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a
contract between the Company 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 Company or to interfere with the right of the
Company to discharge any Participant or Employee at any time regardless of the
effect which such discharge shall have upon him or her as a Participant of this
Plan.

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

11.4 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.  Each Participant shall file with the
Administrator a notice in writing, in a form acceptable to the Company,
designating one or more Beneficiaries to whom payments becoming due by reason of
or after his or her death shall be made.  Participants shall have the right to
change the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries so designated from time to time;
provided, however, that no such change shall become effective until received in
writing and acknowledged by the Administrator.

11.5 PAYMENT TO INCOMPETENTS.  The Company shall make the payments provided
herein directly to the Participant or Beneficiary entitled thereto or, if such
Participant or Beneficiary has been determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be mentally or physically incompetent, then payment shall be
made to the duly appointed guardian or other authorized representative of such
Participant or Beneficiary.  The Company shall have the right to make payment
directly to a Participant or Beneficiary until it has received actual notice of
the incapacity of such Participant or Beneficiary and actual notice of the
appointment of a duly authorized representative of his or her estate.  Any
payment to or for the benefit of a Participant or Beneficiary shall be a
complete discharge of all liability of the Company therefore.

11.6 INTERPRETATION.  The interpretation and construction of the Plan by the
Administrator, and any action taken hereunder, shall be binding and conclusive
upon all parties in interest.  No officer or employee of the Company shall be
liable to any person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection
with the interpretation, construction or administration of the Plan, so long as
such action or omission be made in good faith.

11.7 AUTHORITY TO APPOINT A COMMITTEE.  The Board, within its discretion, shall
have the authority to appoint a committee of one (1) or more of its members,
which shall have authority over the Plan in lieu of the entire Board.  Unless
otherwise determined by the Board, the Company’s Compensation Committee shall
serve as the Committee.

11.8 AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH A TRUST.  The Company shall have the right at any
time to establish a trust to which the Company may transfer from time to time
certain assets to be used by the trustee(s) to satisfy some or all of the
Company ‘s obligations and liabilities under the Plan.  All assets held by such
trust shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of
the Company’s Insolvency (as defined herein).  The Company shall be considered
“Insolvent” for purposes of the trust if: (a) the Company is unable to pay its
debts as they become due; or (b) the Company is subject to a pending proceeding
as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

11.9 BINDING EFFECT.  Obligations incurred by the Company pursuant to this Plan
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Participant, his or her
Beneficiaries, personal representatives, heirs, and legatees.

11.10 ENTIRE PLAN.  This document and any amendments hereto contain all the
terms and provisions of the Plan and shall constitute the entire Plan, any other
alleged terms or provisions being of no effect.

11.11 MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR ACQUISITION.  In the event of a change in control
of the Company, the obligations and responsibilities of the Company under this
Plan shall be

12

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

assumed by any such successor or acquiring corporation or entity, and all of the
rights, privileges and benefits of the Participants hereunder shall continue.
