FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED
TENET 2006 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
ARTICLE I
PREAMBLE AND PURPOSE

1.1
Preamble. Tenet Healthcare Corporation (the "Company") previously adopted the
Tenet 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") to permit the Company and its
participating Affiliates, as defined herein (collectively, the "Employer"), to
attract and retain a select group of management or highly compensated employees
and Directors, as defined herein. The Plan replaced the Tenet 2001 Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "2001 DCP") and compensation and bonus deferrals and
employer contributions made to the 2001 DCP during the 2005 Plan Year (i.e.,
January 1, through December 31) were transferred to the Plan and will be
administered pursuant to its terms.

Pursuant to the First Amended and Restated Plan, the Company amended and
restated the Plan effective December 31, 2008 to (a) reflect that compensation
and bonus deferrals and employer contributions made to the 2001 DCP have been
transferred to the Plan and will be administered pursuant to its terms, (b)
permit participants to elect before December 31, 2008 pursuant to transition
relief issued under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") to receive an in-service withdrawal of amounts deemed
invested in stock units in 2009 or a subsequent year, (c) modify the fixed
return investment option to provide that interest will be credited based on one
hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the long-term applicable federal rate as
opposed to the current provision which credits interest based on the prime rate
of interest less one percent (1%), (d) reduce the employer matching contribution
effective January 1, 2009, (e) comply with final regulations issued under
section 409A of the Code and (f) make certain other design changes. This amended
and restated Plan was known as the First Amended and Restated Tenet 2006
Deferred Compensation Plan.
The Company further amended the Plan, through the adoption of the Second Amended
and Restated Plan, effective as of May 9, 2012, to add certain Change of Control
provisions and revise certain termination event definitions.
The Company amended and restated the Plan to increase the employer matching
contribution under the Plan to conform with the matching contribution provided
under the Company’s tax-qualified section 401(k) plan and to incorporate certain
administrative changes adopted with respect to the Plan since its prior
restatement. That amended and restated Plan was known as the Third Amended and
Restated Tenet 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan.
The Retirement Plans Administration Committee (“RPAC”) subsequently amended the
Plan effective January 1, 2015 to provide that an “Affiliate” will be determined
based on an ownership percentage of greater than fifty percent (50%).
The RPAC again amended and restated the Plan effective November 30, 2015 to
incorporate the terms of its prior amendment, clarify that only physicians and
A-Team members that provide services to Baptist Health Centers LLC (“BHC”) and
are paid from a Tenet payroll will be eligible to participate in the Plan and
reflect that the name of the Compensation Committee has changed to the “Human
Resources Committee.” Such

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

amended and restated Plan was known as the Fourth Amended and Restated Tenet
2006 Deferred Compensation Plan.
By this instrument, the RPAC desires to amend and restate the Plan effective
January 1, 2019, to remove reaching the compensation limit on elective deferrals
under the Company’s tax-qualified section 401(k) plan as a trigger that allows
participation in the Plan and to authorize BHC to be a participating employer in
the Plan with respect to its physician employees. This amended and restated Plan
will be known as the Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 Deferred Compensation
Plan.
The Employer may adopt one or more domestic trusts to serve as a possible source
of funds for the payment of benefits under this Plan.

1.2
Purpose. Through this Plan, the Employer 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 Employer. Accordingly, it
is intended that this Plan will not constitute a "qualified plan" subject to the
limitations of section 401(a) of the Code, nor will it constitute a "funded
plan," for purposes of such requirements. It also is intended that this Plan
will be exempt from the participation and vesting requirements of Part 2 of
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (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.

who receives written notice that he has engaged in conduct constituting Cause,
will be given the opportunity to be heard (either in person or in writing as
mutually agreed to by the Participant and the Human Resources Committee, CEO or
COO, as applicable) for the purpose of considering whether Cause exists. If it
is determined either at or following such hearing that Cause exists, the
Participant will be notified in writing of such determination within five (5)
business days. If the Participant disagrees with such determination, the
Participant may file a claim contesting such determination pursuant to Article
VIII within thirty (30) days after his receipt of such written determination
finding that Cause exists.
(n)
"Change of Control" means the occurrence of one of the following:

(i)
A "change in the ownership of the Company" which will occur on the date that any
one person, or more than one person acting as a group within the meaning of
section 409A of the Code, acquires, directly or indirectly, whether in a single
transaction or series of related transactions, ownership of stock in the Company
that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than
fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the
stock of the Company ("Ownership Control"). However, if any one person or more
than one person acting as a group, has previously acquired ownership of more
than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of
the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person
or persons will not be considered a "change in the ownership of the Company" (or
to cause a "change in the effective control of the Company" within the meaning
of Section 2.1(n)(ii) below). Further, an increase in the effective percentage
of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a
transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for cash or
property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this
paragraph; provided, that for purposes of this Section 2.1(n)(i), the following
acquisitions of Company stock will not constitute a Change of Control:

(A)
any acquisition, whether in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or an Affiliate which results in such employee benefit
plan obtaining "Ownership Control" of the Company or

(B)
any acquisition, whether in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, by the Company which results in the Company acquiring stock of the
Company representing "Ownership Control" or

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
6

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

(C)
any acquisition, whether in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, after which those persons who were owners of the Company’s stock
immediately before such transaction(s) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the
total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company (or if
after the consummation of such transaction(s) the Company (or another entity
into which the Company is merged into or otherwise combined, such the Company
does not survive such transaction(s)) is a direct or indirect subsidiary of
another entity which itself is not a subsidiary of an entity, then the more than
fifty percent (50%) ownership test will be applied to the voting securities of
such other entity) in substantially the same percentages as their respective
ownership of the Company immediately before such transaction(s).

This Section 2.1(n)(i) applies either when there is a transfer of the stock of
the Company (or issuance of stock) and stock in the Company remains outstanding
after the transaction or when there is a transfer of the stock of the Company
(including a merger or similar transaction) and stock in the Company does not
remain outstanding after the transaction.
(ii)
A "change in the effective control of the Company" which will occur on the date
that either (A) or (B) occurs:

(A)
any one person, or more than one person acting as a group within the meaning of
section 409A of the Code, acquires (taking into consideration any prior
acquisitions during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most
recent acquisition by such person or persons), directly or indirectly, ownership
of stock of the Company possessing thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the
total voting power of the stock of the Company (not considering stock owned by
such person or group before such twelve (12) month period) (i.e., such person or
group must acquire within a twelve (12) month period stock possessing at least
thirty-five percent (35%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company)
("Effective Control"), except for (i) any acquisition by any employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate
which results in such employee benefit plan obtaining "Effective Control" of the
Company or (ii) any acquisition by the Company. The occurrence of "Effective
Control" under this Section 2.1(n)(ii)(A) may be nullified by a vote of that
number of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board"), that
exceeds two-thirds (2/3) of the independent members of the Board, which vote
must occur before the time, if any, that a "change in the effective control of
the Company" has occurred under Section 2.1(n)(ii)(B) below. In the event of
such a supermajority vote, such transaction or series of related transactions
will not be treated as an event constituting "Effective Control". For avoidance
of doubt, the Plan provides that in the event of the occurrence of the
acquisition of ownership of stock of the Company that reaches or exceeds the
thirty-five percent (35%) ownership threshold described above, if

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
7

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

more than two-thirds (2/3) of the independent members of the Board take action
to resolve that such an acquisition is not a "change in the effective control of
the Company" and a majority of the members of the Board have not been replaced
as provided under Section 2.1(n)(ii)(B) below, then such Board action will be
final and no "Effective Control" will be deemed to have occurred for any purpose
under the Plan.
(B)
a majority of the members of the Board are replaced during any twelve (12) month
period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority
of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election.

For purposes of a "change in the effective control of the Company," if any one
person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively
control the Company within the meaning of this Section 2.1(n)(ii), the
acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same person or persons
is not considered a "change in the effective control of the Company," or to
cause a "change in the ownership of the Company" within the meaning of Section
2.1(n)(i) above.
(iii)
A sale, exchange, lease, disposition or other transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company.

(iv)
A liquidation or dissolution of the Company that is approved by a majority of
the Company's stockholders.

For purposes of this Section 2.1(n), the provisions of section 318(a) of the
Code regarding the constructive ownership of stock will apply to determine stock
ownership; provided, that, stock underlying unvested options (including options
exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested) will not be treated as
owned by the individual who holds the option.
(o)
"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

(p)
"Company" means Tenet Healthcare Corporation.

(q)
"Compensation" means base salaries, commissions, and certain other amounts of
cash compensation payable to the Participant during the Plan Year, including
draws paid to physician Employees of BHC. Compensation will exclude cash
bonuses, foreign service pay, hardship withdrawal allowances and any other pay
intended to reimburse the employee for the higher cost of living outside the

allowances, relocation payments, deemed income, income payable under stock
incentive plans, insurance premiums, and other imputed income, pensions,
retirement benefits, and contributions to and payments from the 401(k) Plan and
this Plan or any other nonqualified retirement plan maintained by the Employer.

Key Employees for the twelve (12) month period beginning on the first day of the
fourth month following the end of the twelve (12) month period (i.e., since the
identification date is December 31, then the twelve (12) month period to which
it applies begins on the next following April 1).
The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with
section 416(i)(1) of the Code and other guidance of general applicability issued
thereunder. For purposes of determining whether an employee or former employee
is an officer, a Five Percent Owner or a One Percent Owner, the Company and each
Affiliate will be treated as a separate employer (i.e., the controlled group
rules of sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) of the Code will not apply).
Conversely, for purposes of determining whether the one hundred thirty thousand
dollar ($130,000) adjusted limit on compensation is met under the officer test
described in Section 2.1(gg)(i), compensation from the Company and all
Affiliates will be taken into account (i.e., the controlled group rules of
sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) of the Code will apply). Further, in
determining who is an officer under the officer test described in Section
2.1(gg)(i), no more than fifty (50) employees of the Company or its Affiliates
(i.e., the controlled group rules of sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) of the
Code will apply) will be treated as officers. If the number of officers exceeds
fifty (50), the determination of which employees or former employees are
officers will be determined based on who had the largest annual compensation
from the Company and Affiliates for the Plan Year. For the avoidance of doubt,
for purposes of this Section 2.1(gg) the controlled group rules under sections
414(b) and (c) of the Code will be applied based on the normal ownership
percentage of greater than eighty percent (80%) rather than the fifty percent
(50%) standard used in the definition of Affiliate.
(hh)
"Matching Contribution" means the contribution made by the Employer pursuant to
Section 4.4(a) on behalf of a Participant who makes Base with Match Deferrals

Eligible Person may make an Election to defer Compensation and RSUs earned after
such Election pursuant to Article IV. If the Employee becomes an Eligible Person
before June 30, he may make an Election to defer Bonus earned after such
Election to the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator. For purposes of
determining an Eligible Person's initial eligibility, an Eligible Person, who
incurs a Termination of Employment and is reemployed and eligible to participate
in the Plan at a date which is more than twenty-four (24) months after such
Termination of Employment, will be treated as being initially eligible to

ARTICLE III
PARTICIPATION AND FORFEITABILITY OF BENEFITS

3.1
Eligibility and Participation.

(a)
Determination of Eligibility. It is intended that eligibility to participate in
the Plan will be limited to Eligible Persons, as determined by the RPAC, in its
sole and absolute discretion. During the Open Enrollment Period, each Eligible
Person will be contacted and informed that he may elect to defer portions of his
Compensation, Bonus and/or RSUs by making an Election. An Eligible Person will
become a Participant by completing an Election during an Open Enrollment Period
pursuant to Section 4.1. Eligibility to become a Participant for any Plan Year
will not entitle an Eligible Person to continue as an active Participant for any
subsequent Plan Year.

(b)
Limits on Eligibility. The RPAC or Plan Administrator may at any time, in its
sole and absolute discretion, limit the classification of Employees eligible to
participate in the Plan and/or limit the period of such Employee’s enrollment to
an Open Enrollment Period and to not permit such Employee to enroll during a
Special Enrollment Period. In addition, the RPAC may limit or terminate an
Eligible Person's participation in the Plan; provided, that no such termination
will result in a cancellation of Compensation and Bonus Deferrals or RSU
Deferrals for the remainder of a Plan Year in which an Election to make such
deferrals is in effect. Any action taken by the RPAC or Plan Administrator that
limits the classification of Employees eligible to participate in the Plan,
limits the time of an Employee’s enrollment in the Plan or modifies or
terminates an Eligible Person’s participation in the Plan will be set forth in
Exhibit A attached hereto. Exhibit A may be modified from time to time without a
formal amendment to the Plan, in which case a revised Exhibit A will be attached
hereto.

An Employee who takes an Unforeseeable Emergency distribution pursuant to
Section 5.4 of this Plan will have his Compensation and Bonus Deferrals and RSU
Deferrals under this Plan suspended for the remainder of the Plan Year in which
such distribution occurs. This mid-year suspension provision will also apply
with respect to an Unforeseeable Emergency distribution made pursuant to 5.4 of
the 2001 DCP. In addition, an Employee who takes an Unforeseeable Emergency
distribution under either the 2001 DCP or this Plan will be ineligible to
participate in the Plan for purposes of making Compensation and Bonus Deferrals
and RSU Deferrals and receiving a Matching Contribution for the Plan Year
following the year in which such distribution occurs.
(c)
Initial Eligibility. If an Eligible Person is employed or elected to the Board
during the Plan Year or promoted or transferred into an eligible position and
designated by the RPAC to be a Participant for such year, such Eligible Person
will be eligible to elect to participate in the Plan during a Special Enrollment
Period, unless determined otherwise by the Plan Administrator pursuant to
Section 3.1(b), in which case, such Eligible Person will be permitted to enroll
in the Plan during the next Open Enrollment Period. For purposes of determining
an Eligible Person's initial

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
15

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

eligibility, an Eligible Person, who incurs a Termination of Employment and is
reemployed and eligible to participate in the Plan at a date which is more than
twenty-four (24) months after such Termination of Employment, will be treated as
being initially eligible to participate in the Plan on such reemployment.
Designation as a Participant for the Plan Year in which he is employed or
elected to the Board or promoted will not entitle the Eligible Person to
continue as an active Participant for any subsequent Plan Year.
(d)
Loss of Eligibility Status. A Participant under this Plan who separates from
employment with the Employer, or who ceases to be a Director, or who transfers
to an ineligible employment position will continue as an inactive Participant
under this Plan until the Participant has received payment of all amounts
payable to him under this Plan. In the event that a Participant ceases to be an
Eligible Person during the Plan Year, such Participant's Compensation and Bonus
Deferrals and RSU Deferrals will continue through the remainder of the Plan
Year, but the Participant will not be permitted to make such deferrals for the
following Plan Year unless he again becomes an Eligible Person and makes a
deferral Election pursuant to Section 3.1(a). An Eligible Person who ceases
active participation in the Plan because the Eligible Person is no longer
described as a Participant pursuant to this Section 3.1, or because he ceases
making deferrals of Compensation, Bonuses or RSUs, will continue as an inactive
Participant under this Plan until he has received payment of all amounts payable
to him under this Plan. An inactive Participant will continue to have his
Accounts adjusted pursuant to Section 4.6 based on his investment crediting rate
elections until such Accounts have been paid in full.

3.2
Forfeitability of Benefits. Except as provided in Section 6.1, a Participant
will at all times have a nonforfeitable right to amounts credited to his Account
pursuant to Section 4.5. As provided in Section 7.2, however, each Participant
will be only a general creditor of the Company and/or his Employer with respect
to the payment of any benefit under this Plan.

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

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

4.1
General Rules Regarding Deferral Elections. An Eligible Person may become a
Participant in the Plan for the applicable Plan Year by making an Election
during the Open Enrollment Period to defer his Compensation, Bonus and/or RSUs
pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.1. Such Election will be made by the
date specified by the Plan Administrator and will be effective with respect to:

(a)
Compensation and/or Bonus paid for services performed on or after the following
January 1; and

(b)
RSUs that are awarded under the SIP, either before or within thirty (30) days
after the grant date as required by section 409A of the Code.

An Eligible Person who is employed by the Employer or elected to the Board
during the Plan Year may make an Election during the Special Enrollment Period
with respect to Compensation, Bonus and/or RSUs earned after the date of such
Election to the extent permitted under Section 2.1(vv).
A Participant's Election will only be effective with respect to a single Plan
Year and will be irrevocable for the duration of such Plan Year. Deferral
elections for each applicable Plan Year of participation will be made during the
Open Enrollment Period pursuant to a new Election. Deferrals will not be
required to be taken from each paycheck during the applicable Plan Year so long
as the total Compensation and Bonus elected to be deferred for the Plan Year has
been captured by December 31 of such Plan Year.

4.2
Compensation and Bonus Deferrals. Five types of Compensation and Bonus Deferrals
may be made under the Plan:

(a)
Base Deferral. Each Eligible Person may elect to defer a stated dollar amount,
or designated full percentage, of Compensation to the Plan up to a maximum
percentage of seventy five percent (75%) (one hundred percent (100%) for
Directors) of the Eligible Person's Compensation for the applicable Plan Year
until either (i) the Participant's Termination of Employment or (ii) a future
year in which the Participant is still employed by the Employer (or providing
services as a member of the Board) and that is at least two (2) calendar years
after the end of the Plan Year in which the Compensation would have otherwise
been paid (i.e., as a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal subject to the provisions
of Section 5.3).

Base Deferrals will be made pursuant to administrative procedures established by
the Plan Administrator. Such procedures will provide that Base Deferrals will be
subject to a "withholding hierarchy" for purposes of determining the amount of
such contributions that may be contributed on behalf of a Participant. The Plan
Administrator (or its delegatee) will determine the order of withholdings taken
from a Participant's Compensation (e.g., for federal, state and local taxes,
social security, wage garnishments, welfare plan contributions, 401(k)
deferrals, and similar withholdings) and Base Deferrals will be subject to such
withholding hierarchy. As

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
17

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

a result, Base Deferrals may be effectively limited to Compensation available
after the application of such withholding hierarchy.
The Employer will not make any Matching Contributions with respect to any Base
Deferrals made to the Plan.
(b)
Bonus Deferral. Each Eligible Person may elect to defer a stated dollar amount,
or designated full percentage, of his Bonus to the Plan up to a maximum
percentage of one hundred percent (100%) (ninety four percent (94%) if a Bonus
with Match Deferral is elected pursuant to Section 4.2(d)) of the Employee's
Bonus for the applicable Plan Year until either (i) the Eligible Person's
Termination of Employment or (ii) a future year in which the Eligible Person is
still employed by the Employer (or providing services as a member of the Board)
and that is at least two (2) calendar years after the end of the Plan Year in
which the Bonus would have otherwise been paid (i.e., as a Scheduled In-Service
Withdrawal subject to the provisions of Section 5.3).

Bonus Deferrals will be made pursuant to administrative procedures established
by the Plan Administrator. Such procedures will provide that Bonus Deferrals
will be subject to a "withholding hierarchy" for purposes of determining the
amount of such contributions that may be contributed on behalf of a Participant.
The Plan Administrator (or its delegatee) will determine the order of
withholdings taken from a Participant's Bonus (e.g., for federal, state and
local taxes, social security, wage garnishments, welfare plan contributions, and
similar withholdings) and Bonus Deferrals will be subject to such withholding
hierarchy. As a result, Bonus Deferrals may be effectively limited to Bonus
available after the application of such withholding hierarchy.
Bonus Deferrals generally will be made in the form of cash; provided, however,
that if the Company modifies the Annual Incentive Plan to provide for the
payment of awards in Stock, Bonus Deferrals may be made in the form of Stock.
Any Bonus Deferrals made in the form of Stock will be converted to Stock Units,
based on the number of shares so deferred, credited to the Stock Unit Account
and distributed to the Participant at the time specified herein in an equivalent
number of whole shares of Stock as provided in Section 4.5(b).
The Employer will not make any Matching Contributions with respect to any Bonus
Deferrals made to the Plan.
(c)
Base with Match Deferral. Each Eligible Person who is a participant in the
401(k) Plan may elect to have one percent (1%) to six percent (6%) of his
Compensation deferred under the Plan as a Base with Match Deferral with respect
to the pay period in which his deferrals to the 401(k) Plan reach the limit
imposed on elective deferrals under section 402(g) of the Code, including the
limit applicable to catch-up contributions to the extent the Eligible Person is
eligible to make such contributions, as such limit is adjusted for cost of
living increases.

All Base with Match Deferrals will be payable upon Termination of Employment
(i.e., Scheduled In-Service Withdrawals are not available with respect to Base
with Match

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
18

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

Deferrals). A Participant who earns more than Four Hundred Thousand Dollars
($400,000) in Compensation (excluding Bonus), or such other amount as the Plan
Administrator deems necessary to satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the
Code, and elects to make Base with Match Deferrals under this Section 4.2(c)
will not be permitted to modify his 401(k) Plan deferral elections during the
Plan Year in which such Base with Match Deferral Election is in effect.
The Employer will make Matching Contributions with respect to Base with Match
Deferrals made to the Plan as provided in Section 4.4.
(d)
Bonus with Match Deferral. Each Eligible Person may elect to automatically have
six percent (6%) of his Bonus deferred under the Plan as a Bonus with Match
Deferral whether or not the Eligible Person is a participant in the 401(k) Plan
or his deferrals under the 401(k) Plan have reached limit imposed on elective
deferrals under section 402(g) of the Code, including the limit applicable to
catch-up contributions to the extent the Eligible Person is eligible to make
such contributions. This Bonus with Match Deferral will be applied to that
portion of the Eligible Person's Bonus in excess of that deferred as a Bonus
Deferral under Section 4.2(b). For example, if the Eligible Person elects to
defer fifty percent (50%) of his Bonus under Section 4.2(b) and also elects to
make a Bonus with Match Deferral under this Section 4.2(d), fifty percent (50%)
of the Eligible Person's Bonus will be deferred under Section 4.2(b) and six
percent (6%) of the Eligible Person's Bonus will be deferred under this Section
4.2(d). All Bonus with Match Deferrals will be payable upon Termination of
Employment (i.e., Scheduled In-Service Withdrawals are not available with
respect to Bonus with Match Deferrals).

The Employer will make Matching Contributions with respect to Base with Match
Deferrals and Bonus with Match Deferrals made to the Plan as provided in Section
4.4.
(e)
Discretionary Deferral. The RPAC may authorize an Eligible Person to defer a
stated dollar amount, or designated full percentage, of Compensation to the Plan
as a Discretionary Deferral. The RPAC, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
limit the amount or percentage of Compensation an Eligible Person may defer to
the Plan as a Discretionary Deferral and may prohibit Scheduled In-Service
Withdrawals with respect to such Discretionary Deferral. The Employer will not
make any Matching Contributions pursuant to Section 4.4(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 4.4(b).

4.3
RSU Deferrals. To the extent authorized by the RPAC, an Eligible Person may make
an Election to defer a designated full percentage, up to one hundred percent
(100%) of his RSUs until either (a) the Eligible Person's Termination of
Employment or (b) a future year while the Eligible Person is still employed by
the Employer and that is at least two (2) calendar years after the end of the
Plan Year in which the RSU is granted (i.e., as a Scheduled In-Service
Withdrawal subject to the provisions of 5.3. A deferral Election made pursuant
to this Section 4.3 will apply to the entire RSU grant (i.e., a Participant may
not elect to make a separate Election with respect to each portion of the RSU
award based on

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
19

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

the award's vesting schedule). Such RSU Deferrals will be converted to Stock
Units, based on the number of shares so deferred, credited to the Stock Unit
Account and distributed to the Participant at the time specified in his Election
in an equivalent number of whole shares of Stock as provided in Section 4.5(b).
The Employer will not make any Matching Contributions with respect to any RSU
Deferrals made to the Plan.

4.4
Company Contributions.

(a)
Matching Contribution. The Employer will make a Matching Contribution to the
Plan each Plan Year on behalf of each Participant who makes Base with Match
Deferrals and Bonus with Match Deferrals to the Plan for such Plan Year. Such
Matching Contribution will equal fifty percent (50%) of the first six percent
(6%) of the Participant's Base with Match and/or six percent (6%) of the
Participant’s Bonus with Match Deferrals for such Plan Year. Matching
Contributions and earnings and losses thereon will be distributed upon the
Participant's Termination of Employment in the manner elected by the Participant
(or deemed elected by the Participant) for the Plan Year to which the Matching
Contribution relates as provided in Section 5.1.

(b)
Discretionary Contribution. The Employer may elect to make a Discretionary
Contribution to a Participant's Account in such amount, and at such time, as
will be determined by the Human Resources Committee. Any Discretionary
Contribution made by the Employer, plus earnings and losses thereon, will be
paid to the Participant upon his Termination of Employment with the Employer in
the manner elected by the Participant (or deemed elected by the Participant) for
the Plan Year to which the Discretionary Contribution relates as provided in
Section 5.1.

4.5
Accounting for Deferred Compensation.

(a)
Cash Account. If a Participant has made an Election to defer his Compensation
and/or Bonus and has made a request for amounts deferred to be deemed invested
pursuant to Section 4.5(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 will be adjusted at least quarterly to reflect the Base
Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Base with Match Deferrals, Bonus with Match
Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Discretionary
Contributions credited thereto, earnings or losses credited thereon, and any
payment of such Base Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Base with Match Deferrals,
Bonus with Match Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals, Matching Contributions and
Discretionary Contributions pursuant to Article V. The amounts of Base
Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Base with Match Deferrals, Bonus with Match
Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals and Matching Contributions will be credited
to the Participant's Cash Account within five (5) 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 will be credited to each
Participant's Cash Account at such times as determined by the Human Resources
Committee. In the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator, more
than one Cash Account may be established for each Participant

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
20

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

to facilitate record-keeping convenience and accuracy. Each such Cash Account
will be credited and adjusted as provided in this Plan.
(b)
Stock Unit Account. If a Participant has made an Election to defer his
Compensation and/or Bonus and has made a request for such deferrals to be deemed
invested in Stock Units pursuant to Section 4.5(b), the Plan Administrator may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, establish and maintain a Stock Unit Account
and credit the Participant's Stock Unit Account with a number of Stock Units
determined by dividing an amount equal to the Base Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals,
Base with Match Deferrals, Bonus with Match Deferrals, and associated Matching
Contributions, and Discretionary Deferrals made as of such date by the Fair
Market Value of a share of Stock on the date such Compensation and/or Bonus
otherwise would have been payable. Such Stock Units will be credited to the
Participant's Stock Unit Account as soon as administratively practicable after
the determination of the number of Stock Units is made pursuant to the preceding
sentence.

If the Participant is entitled to a Discretionary Contribution and has elected
to have amounts credited to his Account to be deemed invested in Stock Units
pursuant to Section 4.6(b), the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion,
establish and maintain a Stock Unit Account and credit the Participant's Stock
Unit Account with a number of Stock Units determined by dividing an amount equal
to the Discretionary Contribution made as of such date by the Fair Market Value
of a share of Stock on the date such Discretionary Contribution would have
otherwise been made. Such Stock Units will be credited to the Participant's
Stock Unit Account as soon as administratively practicable after the
determination of the number of Stock Units has been made pursuant to the
preceding sentence.
Bonus Deferrals made in Stock and RSU Deferrals will be credited to the Stock
Unit Account as provided in Section 4.2(b).
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 will 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
will not be treated as property of the Participant or as a trust fund of any
kind. No Participant will 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

a manner consistent with section 409A of the Code will be made by the Human
Resources 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 will be subject
to the claims of the general creditors of each such Participant's Employer.
Although the principal of such trust and any earnings or losses thereon will be
separate and apart from other funds of the Employer and will be used for the
purposes set forth therein, neither the Participants nor their Beneficiaries
will have any preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership in, any assets of
the trust before the time such assets are paid to the Participant or
Beneficiaries as benefits and all rights created under this Plan will be
unsecured contractual rights of Plan Participants and Beneficiaries against the
Employer. Any assets held in the trust with respect to a Participant will be
subject to the claims of the general creditors of that Participant's Employer
under federal and state law in the event of insolvency. The assets of any trust
established pursuant to this Plan will never inure to the benefit of the
Employer and the same will be held for the exclusive purpose of providing
benefits to that Employer's Participants and their beneficiaries.

4.6
Investment Crediting Rates. At the time the Participant makes an Election under
Section 4.1, he must specify the type of investment crediting rate option with
which he would like the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, to credit
his Account as described in this Section 4.6. Such investment crediting rate
Election will apply to all deferrals and contributions under the Plan, except
for Bonus Deferrals made in Stock and RSU Deferrals which will automatically be
credited to the Stock Unit Account as provided in Section 4.2(b) and Section
4.3.

(a)
Cash Investment Crediting Rate Options. A Participant may make an Election as to
the type of investment in which the Participant would like Compensation and
Bonus Deferrals to be deemed invested for purposes of determining the amount of
earnings to be credited or losses to be debited to his Cash Account. The
Participant will specify his preference from among the following possible
investment crediting rate options:

(i)
An annual rate of interest equal to one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the
long-term applicable federal rate, compounded daily; or

(ii)
One or more benchmark mutual funds.

A Participant may make elect, on a daily basis, to modify the investment
crediting rate preference under this Section 4.6(a) by making a new Election
with respect to such investment crediting rate. Notwithstanding any request made
by a Participant, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, will
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 make an Election to have all or a portion of his
Compensation and Bonus Deferrals to be deemed invested in Stock Units. Any
request to have Compensation and Bonus Deferrals to be deemed invested in Stock
Units is irrevocable with respect to such Compensation and Bonus Deferrals and
such amounts will be distributed in an equivalent whole number of shares of
Stock pursuant to the provisions of Article V. Any fractional share interests
will be paid in cash with the last distribution.

(c)
Deemed Election. In his request(s) pursuant to this Section 4.6, the Participant
may request that all or any portion of his 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
RPAC. Although a Participant may express an investment crediting rate
preference, the Company will not be bound by such request. If a Participant
fails to set forth his investment crediting rate preference under this Section
4.6, he will be deemed to have elected an annual rate of interest equal to the
rate of interest set forth in Section 4.6(a)(i) (i.e., one hundred and twenty
percent (120%) of the long-term applicable federal rate, compounded daily). The
RPAC will select from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, the
possible investment crediting rate options to be offered under the Plan.

(d)
Employer Contributions. Matching Contributions to the Plan made by the Employer
and allocated to a Participant's Account pursuant to Section 4.3 will be
credited with the same investment crediting rate as the Participant's associated
Base with Match Deferrals and/or Bonus with Match Deferrals for the relevant
Plan Year. Discretionary Contributions, if any, made by the Employer and
allocated to a Participant's Account pursuant to Section 4.4 will be credited
with the investment crediting rate specified (or deemed specified) by such
Participant in his Election for the relevant Plan Year with respect to the
Participant's Base Deferrals and Bonus Deferrals.

A Participant will retain the right to change the investment crediting rate
applicable to Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions as provided
in this Section 4.6.
(e)
Prior Plan Contributions. The Company transferred Participant 2005 employee
deferrals and employer contributions under the 2001 DCP to this Plan and
permitted Participants to express an investment crediting rate preference with
respect to such transferred amounts. Such transferred amounts will be
administered pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

5.1
Distribution Election. During each Open Enrollment Period, the Eligible Person
must make an Election as to the time and manner in which his Base Deferrals,
Bonus Deferrals, Base with Match Deferrals, Bonus with Match Deferrals, RSU
Deferrals and/or Discretionary Deferrals and any associated Matching
Contributions or Discretionary Contributions will be paid. A Participant may
make a separate distribution Election for each type of Participant Deferral or
Employer Contribution for each Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2010
in which he elects to make Participant Deferrals to the Plan. The Participant
may not modify his Election as to the manner in which such Participant Deferrals
or Employer Contributions will be paid.

For Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2010, the Participant had to specify
upon his initial enrollment in the Plan the time and form in which distributions
of Base Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Base with Match Deferrals, Bonus with Match
Deferrals, RSU Deferrals and/or Discretionary Deferrals and any associated
Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions would be made upon a
Termination of Employment and such termination distribution election governed
all deferrals or Employer Contributions made to the Plan before January 1, 2010
(i.e., deferrals and Employer Contributions made during the 2005, 2006, 2007,
2008 and 2009 Plan Years). Alternatively, the Participant could have elected to
receive a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal of his Base Deferrals, Bonus
Deferrals, RSU Deferrals and/or Discretionary Deferrals (if allowed by the
RPAC).
(a)
Time of Distribution. A Participant who elects to receive a Scheduled In-Service
Withdrawal with respect to Base Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, RSU Deferrals or
Discretionary Deferrals will receive the deferred amount, as adjusted for
earnings and losses, in a lump sum at the time specified in his Election. In the
event that the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment before his
Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal date, his Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal
election will be cancelled and of no effect and such amounts will be paid
according to the Participant's Termination of Employment distribution Election
with respect to the Plan Year for which the Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal
amounts relate (i.e., the Plan Year such amounts were deferred) or if no
Termination of Employment distribution Election is on file, in a lump sum upon
such Termination of Employment based on the Plan's default form of payment.

A Participant who elects to receive his Base Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Base
with Match Deferrals, Bonus with Match Deferrals, RSU Deferrals and/or
Discretionary Deferrals and any associated Matching Contributions or
Discretionary Contributions made for a Plan Year upon his Termination of
Employment, may receive such amounts at any of the following times:
(i)
Subject to the six (6) month delay applicable to Key Employees described in
Section 5.2, as soon as practicable after the Participant's Termination of
Employment;

(ii)
In the twelfth (12th) month following the Participant's Termination of
Employment; or

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
24

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

(iii)
In the twenty-fourth (24th) month following the Participant's Termination of
Employment.

Such amounts may be paid in the form of a lump sum or in the form of annual
installments over a period of one (1) to fifteen (15) years. Such lump sum or
installments will be made in cash or in Stock, or in a combination thereof,
depending on the Participant's investment crediting rates as provided in Section
4.6. If the Participant's Account is paid in installments, such Account will be
revalued during the term of such installments based on procedures established by
the Plan Administrator.
A Participant who dies while an Employee or a Director, as applicable, will be
deemed to have incurred a Termination of Employment on the date of his death;
provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to the Plan on account of death
will not be subject to the six (6) month delay applicable to Key Employees.
(b)
Failure to Elect Distribution. In the event that a Participant fails to elect
the manner in which his Account balance will be paid upon his Termination of
Employment, such Account balance will be paid in the form of a lump sum as soon
as practicable following the Participant's Termination of Employment, subject to
the six (6) month delay applicable to Key Employees described in Section 5.2.

(c)
Taxation of Distributions. All distributions from the Plan will be taxable as
ordinary income when received and subject to appropriate withholding of income
taxes. In the case of distributions in Stock, the appropriate number of shares
of Stock may be sold to satisfy such withholding obligations pursuant to
administrative procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.

5.2
Termination Distributions to Key Employees. Distributions under this Plan that
are payable to a Key Employee on account of a Termination of Employment will be
delayed for a period of six (6) months following such Participant's Termination
of Employment. This six (6) month restriction will not apply, or will cease to
apply, with respect to a distribution to a Participant's Beneficiary by reason
of the death of the Participant.

5.3
Scheduled In-Service Withdrawals. A Participant who elects a Scheduled
In-Service Withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.2 (regarding Compensation and Bonus
Deferrals), Section 4.3 (regarding RSU Deferrals) may subsequently elect to
delay such distribution for a period of at least five (5) additional calendar
years; provided, that such Election is made at least (12) twelve months before
the date that such distribution would otherwise be made. Further, in the event
that a Participant elects a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal and incurs a
Termination of Employment before the Scheduled Withdrawal Date, the
Participant's Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Election and Compensation and
Bonus Deferral and/or RSU Deferral Election under Section 4.2 or Section 4.3
will be cancelled and the Participant's entire Account balance will be paid
according to the Participant's termination distribution Election as provided in
Section 5.1.

5.4
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 Participant's Account balance before his Termination of
Employment and any Scheduled Withdrawal

Fifth Amended and Restated Tenet 2006 DCP
25

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

Date in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Any such application will set
forth the circumstances constituting such Unforeseeable Emergency. The Plan
Administrator will determine whether to grant an application for a distribution
on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency in accordance with guidance issued
pursuant to section 409A of the Code.
A Participant who takes an Unforeseeable Emergency distribution pursuant to this
Section 5.4 (including amounts attributable to 2005 employee deferrals and
employer contributions made under the 2001 DCP which are transferred to and
administered under this Plan) will have his Participant Deferrals under this
Plan suspended for the remainder of the Plan Year in which such Unforeseeable
Emergency distribution occurs. In addition, such Participant will be ineligible
to participate in the Plan for purposes of making Participant Deferrals and
receiving an Employer Contribution for the Plan Year following the year in which
such distribution occurs.

5.5
Death of a Participant. If a Participant dies while employed by the Employer,
the Participant's Account balance will be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary
in the manner elected (or deemed elected) by the Participant pursuant to Section
5.1; provided, that the six (6) month restriction on distributions to Key
Employees under Section 5.2 will not apply.

In the event a terminated Participant dies while receiving installment payments,
the remaining installments will be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary as such
payments become due in accordance with Section 5.1.
In the event a terminated Participant dies before receiving his lump sum payment
or before he begins receiving installment payments, the lump sum payment or
installment payments will be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary as such
payments become due in accordance with Section 5.1; provided, that the six (6)
month restriction on distributions to Key Employees under Section 5.2 will not
apply.

5.6
Withholding. Any taxes or other legally required withholdings from Compensation
and Bonus Deferrals, RSU Deferrals, termination distributions, Scheduled
In-Service Withdrawal payments and Unforeseeable Emergency distributions to
Participants or Beneficiaries under the Plan will be deducted and withheld by
the Employer, benefit provider or funding agent as required pursuant to
applicable law. To the extent amounts are payable under this Plan in Stock, the
appropriate number of shares of Stock may be withheld to satisfy such
withholding obligation. A Participant or Beneficiary will be permitted to make a
withholding election with respect to any federal and state tax withholding
applicable to such distribution.

5.7
Impact of Reemployment on Benefits. If a Participant incurs a Termination of
Employment and begins receiving installment payments from the Plan and such
Participant is reemployed by the Employer, then such Participant's installment
payments will continue as scheduled during the period of his reemployment.

Claims for Benefits.

(a)
Initial Claim. In the event that an Employee, Director, Eligible Person,

rights under this Plan, such claimant must complete and submit such claim forms
and supporting documentation as will 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 connect ion 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 will be furnished to the
claimant within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed with the Plan
Administrator. Such notice will refer, if appropriate, to pertinent provisions
of this Plan, will 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, will describe any additional material or information
necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary. If the claim is denied, in whole or in
part, the claimant will also be notified of the Plan's claim review procedure

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

(c)
Decision on Review. After receipt by the RPAC of a written application for
review of his claim, the RPAC will review the claim taking into account all
comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant
regarding the claim without regard to whether such information was considered in
the initial benefit determination. The RPAC will notify the claimant of its
decision by delivery or by certified or registered mail to his last known
address. A decision on review of the claim will be made by the RPAC at its next
meeting following receipt of the written request for review. If no meeting of
the RPAC is scheduled within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the written
request for review, then the RPAC will hold a special meeting to review such
written request for review within such forty-five (45) day period. If special
circumstances require an extension of the forty-five (45) day period, the RPAC
will so notify the claimant and a decision will be rendered within ninety (90)
days of receipt of the request for review. In any event, if a claim is not
determined by the RPAC within ninety (90) days of receipt of written submission
for review, it will be deemed to be denied.

The decision of the RPAC will be provided to the claimant as soon as possible
but no later than five (5) days after the benefit determination is made. The
decision will be in writing and will include the specific reasons for the
decision presented in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and
will contain references to all relevant Plan provisions on which the decision
was based. Such decision will also advise the claimant that he may receive upon
request, and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents,
records and other information relevant to his claim and will inform the claimant
of his right to arbitration in the case of an adverse decision regarding his
appeal. The decision of the RPAC will be final and conclusive.
(d)
Arbitration. In the event the claims review procedure described in this Section
8.6 does not result in an outcome thought by the claimant to be in accordance
with the Plan document, he may appeal to a third party neutral arbitrator. The
claimant must appeal to an arbitrator within sixty (60) days after receiving the
RPAC's denial or deemed denial of his request for review and before bringing
suit in court. The arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") Rules on Employee Benefit Claims.

The arbitrator will be mutually selected by the Participant and the RPAC from a
list of arbitrators who are experienced in nonqualified deferred compensation
plan benefit matters that is provided by the AAA. If the parties are unable to
agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten (10) days of receiving the
list from the AAA, the AAA will appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator's review
will be limited to interpretation of the Plan document in the context of the
particular facts involved. The claimant, the RPAC and the Employer agree to
accept the award of the arbitrator as binding, and all exercises of power by the
arbitrator hereunder will 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 claimant, RPAC and the Company agree that the venue for the arbitration will
be in Dallas, Texas. The costs of arbitration will be paid by the Employer; the
costs of legal representation for the claimant or witness costs for the claimant
will be borne by the claimant; provided, that, as part of his award,

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

the Arbitrator may require the Employer to reimburse the claimant for all or a
portion of such amounts.
The following discovery may be conducted by the parties: interrogatories,
demands to produce documents, requests for admissions and oral depositions. The
arbitrator will resolve any discovery disputes by such pre hearing conferences
as may be needed. The Company, RPAC and claimant agree that the arbitrator will
have the power of subpoena process as provided by law. Disagreements concerning
the scope of depositions or document production, its reasonableness and
enforcement of discovery requests will be subject to agreement by the Company
and the claimant or will be resolved by the arbitrator. All discovery requests
will be subject to the proprietary rights and rights of privilege and other
protections granted by applicable law to the Company and the claimant and the
arbitrator will adopt procedures to protect such rights. With respect to any
dispute, the Company, RPAC and the claimant agree that all discovery activities
will be expressly limited to matters relevant to the dispute and the arbitrator
will be required to fully enforce this requirement.
The arbitrator will 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 will 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.

8.7
Receipt and Release of Necessary Information. In implementing the terms of this
Plan, the RPAC 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 RPAC or Plan Administrator deems to be necessary for such purposes.
Any Participant or Beneficiary claiming benefits under this Plan will furnish to
the RPAC 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.

8.8
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 will 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, (a) withhold payment of any further benefits under the Plan
until the overpayment has been collected; provided, that the entire amount of
reduction in any calendar year does not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000),
and the reduction is made at the same time and in the same amount as the debt
otherwise would have been due and collected from the Participant, or (b) may
require repayment of benefits paid under this Plan without regard to further
benefits to which the Participant or Beneficiary may be entitled.

Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control and for the following three (3)
years thereafter, if any arbitration arises relating to an event occurring or a
claim made with in three (3) years of a Change of Control, (i) the arbitrator
will not decide the claim based on an abuse of discretion principle or give the
previous RPAC decision any special deference, but rather will determine the
claim de novo based on its own independent reading of the Plan; and (ii) the
Company will pay the Participant's reasonable legal and other related fees and
expenses upon the Participant’s provision of satisfactory documentation of such
expenses with such reimbursement being made no later than the close of the
second taxable year following the year in which such expenses were incurred.

OTHER BENEFIT PLANS OF THE COMPANY

9.1
Other Plans. Nothing contained in this Plan will prevent a Participant before
his death, or a Participant's spouse or other Beneficiary after such

program of the Employer, or which would otherwise be payable or distributable to

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 and Bonus Deferrals made
