a trust, pursuant to a Trust Agreement, for the purpose of setting aside funds

creditors of the Employer, and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any
claim or right with respect to the assets held in the Trust, except to the

Employer. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan (or the Trust Agreement) to the

benefits under this Plan. At the discretion of the Employer, Participants may be
entitled to request that their Accounts be adjusted (for investment gains and
losses, as if invested) in accordance with a deemed investment election of a
Participant. Deemed investment elections may be made with respect to existing
Account balances, current contributions to the Participant's Account, shall be
subject to any limitations imposed by the Committee from time to time, shall be
made by such means as the Employer and Trustee may agree, and may include use of
Trustee's interactive voice response system, known as KeyInvest(R). The Trustee
shall make such adjustments in Participants' Accounts to reflect any investment
gains or losses such Participants' Accounts would experience if funds were
actually invested pursuant to the Participant's election. Participants may make
changes in deemed investment elections at such time, and in such manner
(including through the use of KeyInvest(R)) as may be specified by the Committee
from time to time. Any deemed investment election, or changes to deemed
investment elections, shall remain in effect until further changed by the
Participant.


                                    Article V

ss.5.01 Benefits: A Participant shall be entitled to receive a benefit, when
payable pursuant to the terms of this Plan, in an amount equal to the total
value of all contributions credited to his or her Account, adjusted for any
deemed investment gains or losses, multiplied by the Vested Percentage (if any),
less any amount forfeitable, as specified below. All benefit payments shall be
made by the Employer, except as may be provided for in the Trust Agreement. All
appropriate taxes, as determined by the Employer, shall be withheld from any
payment distribution, as may be required by law, and remitted to the appropriate
taxing authority by the Employer, or its agent.
ss.5.02 Vested Percentage: The Vested Percentage shall be the amount specified
in the Joinder Agreement, based on the number of Years of Service the
Participant has been credited with, at the time benefits are payable. The Vested
Percentage shall be applied only with respect to Employer Contributions credited
to the Participant's Account. Participants shall be fully vested in Account
balances attributable to Salary Reduction Contributions and Bonus Deferral
Contributions.

ss.5.03 Form of Payment: Payment of benefits under this Plan shall be made in
one (or more) of the following forms, as may be elected by the Employer in the
Joinder Agreement (or the Participant):

        b) Equal (sum certain) installment payments over an expected period as
           elected by the Participant prior to commencement of participation.
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual period over which
           installment payments will extend will be based on the Participant's
           Account balance. Installment payments shall be payable over a period
           of at least 10 years.
        c) Such other form as may be elected by the Employer (and described in

           prior to commencement of Participation.

at the time specified by the Employer in the Joinder Agreement (and, as
appropriate, as elected by the Participant).

ss.5.05 Hardship Distributions: Prior to the time a benefit becomes payable
pursuant to ss.5.04, the Employer, if it has authorized hardship distributions
in the Joinder Agreement, in its sole discretion, may elect to distribute all or
any portion of a Participant's benefit to the Participant on account of a severe
financial hardship. For purposes of this section, a severe financial hardship
shall exist in the event the Employer determined that the Participant requires a
distribution to meet an immediate and heavy financial obligation resulting from
illness of the Participant (or a dependent), casualty loss, or other similar
extraordinary event beyond the control of the Participant, which cannot be
satisfied through other means. If the Committee authorizes a hardship
distribution to a Participant, the Participant's account in the Plan will be
debited by the amount of the distribution as well by an additional amount equal
to the amount elected in the Joinder Agreement, as a penalty to be forfeited and
returned to the Employer if the trust is revocable at the time, or if not
revocable, then the forfeited amounts shall continue to be held in trust until
full satisfaction of all of Employer's obligation under this Plan.


<PAGE>

ss.5.05 Death Distributions: To the extent not forfeited pursuant to the terms
of this Plan, upon the death of the Participant, any benefit to which the
Participant would be entitled to (but for his or her death) shall be paid, in
any manner as authorized by the Employer in the Joinder Agreement (and if
applicable, as elected by the Participant) to the Participant's Beneficiary, or
Beneficiaries. To the extent the Participant has not designated Beneficiaries to
receive his or her benefits pursuant to this Plan, the Participant's benefits
(or the portion thereof not so payable to a Beneficiary) shall be paid to the
Participant's estate.

contribution to a trust in connection with respect to this Plan, the amount of
any such contributions held in trust deemed forfeited pursuant to this provision
shall be returned to the Employer if the trust is revocable at the time, or if
not revocable, then the forfeited amounts shall continue to be held in trust
until full satisfaction of all of Employer's obligations under this Plan.

ss.6.02 Other Forfeitures: If elected in the Joinder Agreement, a Participant's
benefits (without regard to the Vested Percentage) may be forfeited on the terms
and conditions established by the Employer on Schedule F.

ss.8.01 Amendment or Termination: The Employer reserves the right to amend or
terminate this Plan at any time, in any respect, retroactively or prospectively,
by written instrument adopted by the Board. No amendment or termination of the
Plan shall reduce, diminish, or otherwise alter the right of a Participant or
Beneficiary to benefits to which he or she was entitled, had the Participant
terminated employment with the Employer on the day before the effective date of
the amendment or termination.

ss.8.02 Spendthrift Provisions: Participants and Beneficiaries shall have no
right of anticipation of any benefits hereunder, and may not sell, transfer,
assign, pledge, attach, or otherwise alienate any benefits payable hereunder.
Any such attempt at alienation shall be void, and not obligate the Employer,
Committee, Trustee, their agents or designees, except to the extent provided for
in this Plan.

ss.8.03 Non-contractual Plan: Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed
as a commitment or agreement on the part of the Employer to continue the
employment of any person employed by the Employer; to continue employment of any
person at any rate of pay or salary; or diminish the right of the Employer to
discharge any Employee. The provisions of this Plan shall not operate as a
guarantee that sufficient assets will exist for the Employer to pay any benefits
pursuant to this Plan. Participants shall be general creditors of the Employer
with respect to benefits payable hereunder.

ss.8.04 Severability: To the extent that any provision of this Plan is deemed to
be unenforceable, or would in any way cause this Plan to be subject to Parts 2,
3 or 4 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, it shall be deemed severed from this Plan, of no further force or
effect, and shall not affect any other provision of this Plan which shall
continue without the offending provision.

ss.8.05 Governing Law: The provisions of this Plan shall be governed by the laws
of the state in which the Employer has its principle place of business.
