9.3

Termination of Plan

The Corporation, by action of the Compensation Committee of the Board, may at

interest of the Employer. If the Plan is terminated in its entirety or as to any
Eligible Employee, each affected Participant shall be 100% vested in the value
of his Deferred Compensation Account.
