terminate or otherwise abrogate the Participant’s interest in the Policy,
provided, however, that at all times the Policy shall be subject to the claims
of the Company’s creditors.

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

                    (B) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (A) of this
section 2.4, upon the Disabled Participant’s gainful employment with an entity

shall cease.  In the event the Disabled Participant’s rights are terminated
hereunder, the Company shall be the direct beneficiary of the entire death
proceeds of the Policy upon the death of the Disabled Participant.

          2.5          Retirement.  Upon the retirement of the Participant, the
Company shall maintain the Policy in full force and effect and in no event shall
the Company amend, terminate or otherwise abrogate the Participant’s interest in

Base annual Salary prior to retirement, or the Multiple of the Base annual
Salary of the insured/Participant based upon the Vesting Schedule attached
hereto as Exhibit C following retirement.

          4.1     Premium Payment.  The Company shall pay all premiums due on
all Policies.

          4.2     Imputed Income.  The Company shall impute income to the

beneficiary.  The “current term rate” is the minimum amount required to be
imputed under Revenue Rulings 64-328 and 66-110, or any subsequent applicable
authority.  

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

Article 5

Assignment

     Any Participant may assign without consideration all interests in his or
her Policy and in this Plan to any person, entity or trust.  In the event a
Participant shall transfer all of his/her interest in the Policy, then all of
that Participant’s interest in his or her Policy and in the Plan shall be vested
in his/her transferee, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder, and that
Participant shall have no further interest in his or her Policy or in this Plan.

Article 6

Insurer

     The Insurer shall be bound only by the terms of their corresponding
Policy.  Any payments the Insurer makes or actions it takes in accordance with a
Policy shall fully discharge it from all claims, suits and demands of all
persons relating to that Policy.  The Insurer shall not be bound by the
provisions of this Plan.  The Insurer shall have the right to rely on the
Company’s representations with regard to any definitions, interpretations, or
Policy interests as specified under this Plan.

Article 7

Claims Procedure

          7.1     Claims Procedure.  The Company shall notify any person or
entity that makes a claim against this Group Term Replacement Plan (the
“Claimant”) in writing, within ninety (90) days of Claimant’s written
application for benefits, of Claimant’s eligibility or ineligibility for
benefits under this Plan.  If the Company determines that Claimant is not
eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (1) the
specific reasons for such denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of
this Plan on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional
information or material necessary for the Claimant to perfect Claimant’s claim,
and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of this Plan’s
claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be
taken if the Claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed.  If the Company
determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to
make a decision, the Company shall notify the Claimant of the special
circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may
extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period. 

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

          7.2     Review Procedure.  If a Claimant is determined by the Company
not to be eligible for benefits, or if the Claimant believes that Claimant is
entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant shall have the
opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition for
review with the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice
issued by the Company.  Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the
Claimant believes entitle Claimant to benefits or to greater or different
benefits.  Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the petition,
the Company shall afford the Claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to
present Claimant’s position to the Company orally or in writing, and the
Claimant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. 
The Compan notify the Claimant of its decision in writing within the sixty-day
period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Claimant and the specific provisions of this
Plan on which the decision is based.  If, because of the need for a hearing, the
sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to
another sixty-day period at the election of the Company, but notice of this
deferral shall be given to the Claimant.

Article 8

Amendments and Termination

          8.1     Amendment or Termination of Plan.  Except as otherwise
provided in sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 8.2, (i) the Company may amend or
terminate the Plan at any time, and (ii) the Company may amend or terminate a
Participant’s rights under the Plan at any time prior to a Participant’s death
by written notice to the Participant.

          8.2     Amendment or Termination of Plan Upon Change of Control. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 8.1, in the event of a Change of
Control, the Company or its successor shall maintain in full force and effect
each Policy that is in existence on the date the Change of Control occurs and
not terminate or otherwise abrogate a Participant’s interest in the Policy,
provided, however, that at all times the Policy shall be subject to the claims
of the Company’s creditors.  This section 8.2 shall apply to all Participants in
the Plan on the date the Change of Control occurs, including by not limited to
(i) a retired Participant who has an interest in the Policy pursuant to section

the maximum benefit in the Participant’s Split Dollar Endorsement (Exhibit D),
at the date of the Change of Control (the greater of 1(i) or 1(ii)).

          8.4     A Participant may, in the Participant’s sole and absolute
discretion, waive his or her rights under the Plan at any time.  Any waiver
permitted under this section 8.3 shall be in writing and delivered to the Board
