    Administration
      of the Plan

     

    (A)  The
      Compensation Committee shall appoint an Administrative Committee to administer,
      construe and interpret the Plan.  Such Administrative Committee, or
      such successor Administrative Committee as may be duly appointed by the
      Compensation Committee, shall serve at the pleasure of the Compensation
      Committee.  Decisions of the Administrative Committee, with respect to
      any matter involving the Plan, shall be final and binding on the Company, its
      shareholders, each Employer and all officers and other executives of the
      Employers.  For purposes of ERISA, the Administrative Committee shall
      be the Plan “administrator” and shall be the “named fiduciary” with respect to
      the general administration of the Plan.

     

    (B)  The
      Administrative Committee shall maintain complete and accurate records pertaining
      to the Plan, including but not limited to Participants’ Accounts, amounts
      transferred to the Trust, reports from the Trustee and all other records which
      shall be necessary or desirable in the proper administration of the
      Plan.  The Administrative Committee shall furnish the Trustee such
      information as is required to be furnished by the Administrative Committee
      or
      the Company pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

     

    (C)  The
      Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
      the members of the Administrative Committee (the “Indemnified Parties”) against
      any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the Indemnified
      Parties may become subject to the extent that such losses, claims, damages
      or
      liabilities or actions in respect thereof arise out of or are based upon any
      act
      or omission of the Indemnified Party in connection with the administration
      of
      this Plan (including any act or omission of such Indemnified Party constituting
      negligence, but excluding any act or omission of such Indemnified Party
      constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct), and will reimburse the
      Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him
      or
      her in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim,
      damage, liability or action.

    (D)  Promptly
      after receipt by the Indemnified Party under the preceding paragraph of notice
      of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to any loss, claim,
      damage or liability against which the Indemnified Party believes he or she
      is
      indemnified under the preceding paragraph, the Indemnified Party shall, if
      a
      claim with respect thereto is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under
      such paragraph, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement
      thereof, provided, however, that the omission so to notify the Indemnifying
      Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the
      Indemnified Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is not prejudiced by
      such
      omission.  If any such action or proceeding shall be brought against
      the Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the
      commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate
      therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof,
      with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and, after notice
      from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume
      the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such
      Indemnified Party under the preceding paragraph for any legal or other expenses
      subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
      thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or reasonable expenses
      of
      actions taken at the written request of the Indemnifying Party.  The
      Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any compromise or settlement of
      any
      such action or proceeding effected without its consent, which consent will
      not
      be unreasonably withheld.

     

    (E)  The
      Administrative Committee may designate any Subsidiary as an Employer by written
      instrument delivered to the Secretary of the Company and the designated
      Employer.  Such written instrument shall specify the effective date of
      such designated participation, may incorporate specific provisions relating
      to
      the operation of the Plan which apply to the designated Employer only and shall
      become, as to such designated Employer and its employees, a part of the
      Plan.  Each designated Employer shall be conclusively presumed to have
      consented to its designation and to have agreed to be bound by the terms of
      the
      Plan and any and all amendments thereto upon its submission of information
      to
      the Administrative Committee required by the terms of or with respect to the
      Plan; provided, however, that the terms of the Plan may be modified so as to
      increase the obligations of an Employer only with the consent of such Employer,
      which consent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given by such Employer
      upon its submission of any information to the Administrative Committee required
      by the terms of or with respect to the Plan.  Except as modified by
      the Administrative Committee in its written instrument, the provisions of this
      Plan shall be applicable with respect to each Employer separately, and amounts
      payable hereunder shall be paid by the Employer which employs the particular
      Participant, if not paid from the Trust Fund.

     

    (F)  No
      member
      of the Administrative Committee shall have any right to vote or decide upon
      any
      matter relating solely to himself or herself under the Plan or to vote in any
      case in which his or her individual right to claim any benefit under the Plan
      is
      particularly involved. In any case in which an Administrative Committee member
      is so disqualified to act and the remaining members cannot agree, the
      Compensation Committee shall appoint a temporary substitute member to exercise
      all the powers of the disqualified member concerning the matter in which he
      or
      she is disqualified.

    Allocations
      Under the Plan,

    Participation
      in the Plan and Selection for Awards

     

    (A)  Each
      Allocation Year the Compensation Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
      determine what amounts shall be available for allocation to the Accounts of
      the

    (B)  No
      award
      shall be made to any person while he or she is a voting member of the

    (C)  The
      Compensation Committee from time to time may adopt, amend or revoke such

      in
      determining which of the Senior Executives it shall deem to be Participants
      for
      a particular Allocation Year and the method and manner of payment thereof to
      the
      Participants.

     

    (D)  The
      Compensation Committee, during the Allocation Year involved or during the next

      designate as Participants for such Allocation Year and the amounts allocated
      to
      each Participant for such Allocation Year.  In making its
      determination, the Compensation Committee shall consider such factors as the
      Compensation Committee may in its sole discretion deem material.  The
      Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may notify a Senior Executive
      at
      any time during a particular Allocation Year or in the Allocation Year following
      the Allocation Year for which the award is made that he or she has been selected
      as a Participant for all or part of such Allocation Year, and may determine
      and
      notify him or her of the amount which shall be allocated to such Participant
      for
      such Allocation Year.  The decision of the Compensation Committee in
      selecting a Senior Executive to be a Participant or in making any allocation
      to
      him or her shall be final and conclusive, and nothing herein shall be deemed
      to
      give any Senior Executive or his or her legal representatives or assigns any
      right to be a Participant for such Allocation Year or to be allocated any amount
      except to the extent of the amount, if any, allocated to a Participant for
      a
      particular Allocation Year, but at all times subject to the provisions of the
      Plan.

     

    (E)  A
      Senior
      Executive whose service is terminated during the Allocation Year may be selected
      as a Participant for such part of the Allocation Year prior to his or her
      Termination of Service and be granted such award with respect to his or her
      services during such part of the Allocation Year as the Compensation Committee,
      in its sole discretion and under any rules it may promulgate, may
      determine.

    (F)  Allocations
      to Participants under the Plan shall be made by crediting their respective
      Accounts on the books of their Employers as of the last day of the Allocation
      Year. Accounts of Participants shall also be credited with interest as of the
      last day of each Allocation Year, at the rate set forth in Paragraph (G) below,
      on the average monthly credit balance of the Account being calculated by using
      the balance of each Account on the first day of each month. Prior to Termination
      of Service, the annual interest shall accumulate as a part of the Account
      balance.  After Termination of Service, the annual interest for such
      Allocation Year may be paid as more particularly set forth hereinafter in
      Article VII, Paragraph (D).

     

    (G)  Interest
      shall be credited on amounts allocated to Participants’ Accounts at the rate of
      5% per annum for periods prior to Termination of Service and at the rate of
      10%
      per annum for periods subsequent to Termination of Service.

     

    (H)  Within
      30
      days of the date a Senior Executive is designated as a Participant in the Plan,
      such Participant may make a written election, in the form as approved by the
      Administrative Committee, as to the form of payment of the Participant’s Account
      from the following alternatives:

     

    (1)  Monthly
      installments over five (5) years;

     

    (2)  Monthly
      installments over ten (10) years; or

     

    (3)  A
      single
      lump sum payment.

     

    If
      a
      Participant fails to make a timely election as provided under this Paragraph
      (H), such Participant’s Account shall be paid in the form of a lump
      sum.  The above notwithstanding, if the total vested amount credited
      to the Participant’s Account and Grandfathered Plan Account upon Termination of
      Service is less than $100,000, such amount shall always be paid in a single
      lump
      sum payment.

    Non-Assignability
      of Awards

     

    No
      Participant shall have any right to commute, encumber, pledge, transfer or
      otherwise dispose of or alienate any present or future right or expectancy
      which
      he or she may have at any time to receive payments of any allocations made
      to
      such Participant, all such allocations being expressly hereby made
      non-assignable and non-transferable; provided, however, that nothing in this
      Article shall prevent transfer (A) by will, (B) by the applicable laws of
      descent and distribution or (C) pursuant to an order that satisfies the
      requirements for a “qualified domestic relations order” as such term is defined
      in Section 206(d)(3)(B) of the ERISA and Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code,
      including an order that requires distributions to an alternate payee prior
      to a
      Participant’s “earliest retirement age” as such term is defined in Section
      206(d)(3)(E)(ii) of the ERISA and Section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code. Attempts
      to
      transfer or assign by a Participant (other than in accordance with the preceding
      sentence) shall, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee after
      consideration of such facts as it deems pertinent, be grounds for terminating
      any rights of such Participant to any awards allocated to but not previously
      paid over to such Participant.

    Vesting

     

    As
      of the
      date that a Participant has five consecutive years of participation in the
      Plan
      as measured from the date such Participant first became a Participant in the
      Plan (including the Grandfathered Plan), all amounts, including interest,
      credited to a Participant’s Account, which are attributable to the 2005
      Allocation Year and any subsequent Allocation Years in which such Participant
      may receive an award, shall be fully vested and not subject to forfeiture for
      any reason, except as provided in Article V.

    Distribution
      of Awards

     

    (A)  Upon
      Termination of Service of a Participant the Administrative Committee (i) shall
      certify to the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, the
      vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account on the books of each
      Employer for which the Participant was employed at a time when he or she earned
      an award hereunder, and (ii) shall determine whether the payment of the vested
      amount credited to the Participant’s Account under the Plan is to be paid
      directly by the applicable Employer, from the Trust Fund, if any, or by a
      combination of such sources (except to the extent the provisions of the Trust
      Agreement if any, specify payment from the Trust Fund).

     

    (B)  Any
      amounts payable under Paragraph (A) above shall be paid in the applicable form
      pursuant to Article IV, Paragraph (H).  Notwithstanding any provision
      of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of a “specified employee” within the
      meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any payments payable as a
      result of the Employee’s Termination of Service (other than death) shall not be
      payable before the earlier of (i) the date that is six months after the
      Employee’s Termination of Service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or
      (iii) the date that otherwise complies with the requirements of Section
      409A.  For purposes of determining the identity of “specified
      employees”, the Administrative Committee may establish procedures as it deems
      appropriate in accordance with Section 409A.

     

    (C)  The
      Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, shall make payments
      of
      awards in the manner designated, subject to all of the other terms and
      conditions of this Plan and the Trust Agreement if any.  This Plan
      shall be deemed to authorize the payment of all or any portion of a
      Participant’s award from the Trust Fund to the extent such payment is required
      by the provisions of the Trust Agreement, if any.

     

    (D)  Interest
      on installment payments shall be paid as a part of a level monthly annuity
      payment calculated for a specific period of time by the Administrative Committee
      using a constant interest rate as defined in Article IV, Paragraph
      (G).

    (E)  If
      a
      Participant shall die while in the service of an Employer the vesting provision
      in Article VI shall not apply to such Participant’s Account.  If a
      Participant shall die after Termination of Service and prior to the time when
      all amounts payable to him or her under the Plan have been paid to such
      Participant, any remaining amounts payable to the Participant hereunder shall
      be
      payable to the estate of the Participant.  The Administrative
      Committee shall cause the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as
      applicable, to pay to the estate of the Participant all of the awards then
      standing to his or her credit in a lump sum within sixty (60) days of the
      Participant’s death.

     

    (F)  If
      the
      Plan is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article X, the Compensation
      Committee may, at its election and in its sole discretion, cause the Trustee
      or
      the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, to pay to all Participants all
      of
      the awards then standing to their credit in the form of lump sum payments,
      provided such distribution is in compliance with the requirements of Section
      409A.

    Nature
      of Plan

     

    This
      Plan
      constitutes a mere promise by the Employers to make benefit payments in the
      future and Participants have the status of general unsecured creditors of the
      Employers.  Further, the adoption of this Plan and any setting aside
      of amounts by the Employers with which to discharge their obligations hereunder
      shall not be deemed to create a trust; legal and equitable title to any funds
      so
      set aside shall remain in the Employers, and any recipient of benefits hereunder
      shall have no security or other interest in such funds.  Any and all
      funds so set aside shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors
      of the Employers, present and future. This provision shall not require the
      Employers to set aside any funds, but the Employers may set aside such funds
      if
      they choose to do so.

      IX


     

    Funding
      of Obligation

     

    Article
      VIII above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Employers may fund all or part
      of their obligations hereunder by transferring assets to a domestic trust if
      the
      provisions of the trust agreement creating the Trust require the use of the
      Trust’s assets to satisfy claims of an Employer’s general unsecured creditors in
      the event of such Employer’s insolvency and provide that no Participant shall at
      any time have a prior claim to such assets. Any transfers of assets to a trust
      may be made by each Employer individually or by the Company on behalf of all
      Employers.  The assets of the Trust shall not be deemed to be assets
      of this Plan.

    The

      modify, amend, supplement, suspend or terminate the Plan as it applies to each
      Employer, provided that no such change in the Plan may deprive a Participant
      of
      the amounts allocated to his or her Account or be retroactive in effect to
      the
      prejudice of any Participant and the interest rate applicable to amounts
      credited to Participants’ Accounts for periods subsequent to Termination of
      Service shall not be reduced below 6% per annum.  Any such

    General
      Provisions

     

    (A)  No
      Participant shall have any preference over the general creditors of an Employer
      in the event of such Employer’s insolvency.

     

    (B)  Nothing
      contained herein shall be construed to give any person the right to be retained
      in the employ of an Employer or to interfere with the right of an Employer
      to
      terminate the employment of any person at any time.

     

    (C)  If
      the
      Administrative Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that any person
      entitled to receive a payment hereunder is, at the time the benefit is payable,
      physically, mentally or legally incompetent to receive such payment and to
      give
      a valid receipt therefor, and that an individual or institution is then
      maintaining or has custody of such person and that no guardian, committee or
      other representative of the estate of such person has been duly appointed,
      the
      Administrative Committee may direct that such payment thereof be paid to such
      individual or institution maintaining or having custody of such person, and
      the
      receipt of such individual or institution shall be valid and a complete
      discharge for the payment of such benefit.

     

    (D)  Payments
      to be made hereunder may, at the written request of the Participant, be made
      to
      a bank account designated by such Participant, provided that deposits to the
      credit of such Participant in any bank or trust company shall be deemed payment
      into his or her hands.

     

    (E)  Wherever
      any words are used herein in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, they
      shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases
      where they would so apply, and whenever any words are used herein in the

    APPENDIX
      A

     

    GRANDFATHERED
      PLAN

     

    The
      Grandfathered Plan contains the provisions governing the deferrals of accounts
      earned and vested by Participants on or before December 31,
      2004.  This Appendix A preserves the material terms of the
      Grandfathered Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004, and is intended to satisfy
      the requirements of Section 409A as to grandfathered amounts.  The
      provisions of this Appendix A shall apply to, and be effective only with respect
      to, the deferral of earned and vested amounts under the Grandfathered Plan
      before January 1, 2005, and the amounts earned on such deferrals credited at
      any
      time.  The Plan provides for separate accounting of such amounts
      deferred, earned, and vested before January 1, 2005, and the interest credited
      thereon.

     

    No
      amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to amend this Appendix A and the relevant
      provisions of the Plan in effect prior to such amendment unless otherwise
      specifically set forth therein.  Pursuant to Section 1.409A-6(a)(4) of
      the Treasury Regulations, a modification is material “if a benefit or right
      existing as of October 3, 2004 is materially enhanced or a new material benefit
      or right is added.”

     

    The
      provisions of the Plan applicable to the Grandfathered Plan Accounts shall
      be
      administered in a manner consistent with the Grandfathered Plan and Appendix
      A.  Wherever the Plan has added, changed, or otherwise altered any
      terms of the Grandfathered Plan that were in effect on December 31, 2004, in
      a
      manner that would constitute a material modification, as described above, such
      changes will be disregarded in the administration of the Grandfathered Plan
      Accounts herein.

     

    APPLICABLE
      GRANDFATHERED PLAN TERMS

     

    With
      respect to amounts deferred prior to January 1, 2005, and the interest on such
      amounts credited at any time, the following definitions and Articles in this
      Appendix A shall be substituted for the corresponding definitions and Articles
      of the Plan:

     

    Termination
      of Service:  Severance from employment
      with an Employer for any reason other than a transfer between
      Employers.

      Service.

    Distribution
      of Awards

     

    (A)           Upon
      Termination of Service of a Participant the Administrative Committee (i) shall
      certify to the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, the
      amount credited to the Participant’s Account on the books of each Employer for
      which the Participant was employed at a time when he or she earned an award
      hereunder, (ii) shall determine whether the payment of the amount credited
      to
      the Participant’s Account under the Plan is to be paid directly by the
      applicable Employer, from the Trust Fund, if any, or by a combination of such
      sources (except to the extent the provisions of the Trust Agreement if any,
      specify payment from the Trust Fund) and (iii) shall determine and certify
      to
      the Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, the method of
      payment of the amount credited to a Participant’s Account, selected by the
      Administrative Committee from among the following alternatives:

     

    (1)           A
      single lump sum payment upon Termination of Service;

     

    (2)           A
      payment of one-half of the Participant’s balance upon Termination of Service,
      with payment of the additional one-half to be made on or before the last day
      of
      a period of one year following Termination of Service; or

     

    (3)           Payment
      in monthly installments over a period not to exceed ten years with such payments
      to commence upon Termination of Service.

     

    The
      above
      notwithstanding, if the total vested amount credited to the Participant’s
      Grandfathered Plan Account upon Termination of Service is less than $50,000,
      such amount shall always be paid in a single lump sum payment upon Termination
      of Service.

     

    (B)           The
      Trustee or the treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, shall thereafter make
      payments of awards in the manner and at the times so designated, subject,
      however, to all of the other terms and conditions of this Plan and the Trust
      Agreement if any. This Plan shall be deemed to authorize the payment of all
      or
      any portion of a Participant’s award from the Trust Fund to the extent such
      payment is required by the provisions of the Trust Agreement, if
      any.

    (C)           Interest
      on the second half of a payment under Paragraph (A)(2) above shall be paid
      with
      the final payment, while interest on payments under Paragraph (A)(3) above
      may
      be paid at each year end or may be paid as a part of a level monthly payment
      computed by the Administrative Committee through the use of such methodologies
      as the Administrative Committee shall select from time to time for such
      purpose.

     

    (D)           If
      a Participant shall die while in the service of an Employer, or after
      Termination of Service and prior to the time when all amounts payable to him
      or
      her under the Plan have been paid to such Participant, any remaining amounts
      payable to the Participant hereunder shall be payable to the estate of the
