         Required Beginning Date.

                  (b)      Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If
         the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's
         entire interest will be distributed no later than as follows:

                           (1)      If the Participant's Surviving Spouse is the
                  Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, then the
                  distribution to the Surviving Spouse will be made by no later
                  than December 31 of the calendar year immediately following
                  the calendar year in which the Participant died.

                           (2)      If the Participant's Surviving Spouse is not
                  the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, then the

                  later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately
                  following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

                           (3)      If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of
                  September 30 of the year following the year of the

                  distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the
                  fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.

                           (4)      If the Participant's Surviving Spouse is the
                  Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary and the Surviving
                  Spouse dies after the Participant but before the distribution
                  to the Surviving Spouse has been made, this Section 20.2(b),
                  other than Section 20.2(b)(1), will apply as if the Surviving
                  Spouse were the Participant.

         For purposes of this Section 20.2(b) and Section 20.4, unless Section

                  (b)      Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue
         Through Year of Participant's Death. Required minimum distributions

                  minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution
                  Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the
                  total amount of the Participant's Account Balance.

                           (2)      No Designated Beneficiary. If the

                           (2)      No Designated Beneficiary. If the

                  Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If
                  the Participant dies before the date the distributions begin,
                  the Participant's Surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole
                  Designated Beneficiary, and the Surviving Spouse dies before
                  distributions are

                  (b)      Distribution Calendar Year. A calendar year for which
         a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before
         the Participant's death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the
         calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year that contains the
         Participant's Required Beginning Date. For distributions beginning
         after the Participant's death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is
         the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin pursuant
         to Section 20.2(b). The required minimum distribution for the
         Participant's first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or
         before the Participant's Required Beginning Date. The required minimum
         distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the
         required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in
         which the Participant's Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on
         or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

         forfeitures allocated to the Account balance as of dates in the
         Valuation Calendar Year after the Valuation Date and decreased by
         distributions made in the Valuation Calendar Year after the Valuation
         Date. The Account balance for the Valuation Calendar Year includes any
         amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the Valuation
         Calendar Year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or
         transferred in the Valuation Calendar Year.

                  (d)      Required Beginning Date. The date specified in
         Section 12.6(b) of the Plan.

                  Participant, including any amounts necessary to pay any
                  federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably

                  distributions and all nontaxable loans currently available to
                  him under all plans maintained by an Affiliated Employer; and

                           (3)      The Participant agrees to suspend all
                  elective employer contributions and voluntary participant

         Early Retirement Date or his Normal Retirement Date, in addition to the
         withdrawal options under Section 11.1, the entire balance credited to
         his Account shall be payable to him in a single lump sum distribution
         at such time requested by the Participant pursuant to Section 12.6 and
