                 be a Top-Heavy Plan, the vesting schedule in effect while the
                 Plan was a Top-Heavy Plan will continue to be in effect for

                                  eligibility requirements.

VIII.    REALLOCATION OF FORFEITURES

         Contribution) for the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such
         forfeiture occurs

XXI.     LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS

         This section applies only for an Employer who maintains or has ever
         maintained: another qualified retirement plan (other than a plan which
         the Employer amended into the Prototype 401(k) Plan) in which any
         Participant in this Plan is or was a participant or could possibly
         become a participant, a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code
         Section 419(e)), or an individual medical account (as defined in Code
         Section 415(1)(2)) under which amounts are treated as annual additions
         with respect to any Participant in this Plan.

         A.      If the Participant is covered under another qualified defined
                 contribution plan maintained by the Employer, other than a
                 master or prototype plan, the provisions of Article V of the
                 Plan will apply as if the other plan were a master or
                 prototype plan

                 [ ]      or, if this box is checked, the attached rider
                          describes the method by which the plans will limit
                          total Annual Additions to the Maximum Permissible
                          Amount described in Section 5.05 of the Plan and
                          reduce any excess amount in a manner that precludes
                          Employer discretion.

         B.      If the Participant is, or has ever been, a participant in a
                 defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer, the
                 provisions of Article V of the Plan will apply

                 [ ]      or, if this box is checked, the attached rider
                          describes the method by which the plans involved will
                          satisfy the 1.0 limitation described in Section 5.04
                          of the Plan and reduce any excess amount in a manner
                          that precludes Employer discretion.

XXII.    SIGNATURES

         The Employer (1) covenants and agrees that whenever a Participant
makes a contribution the Employer shall ascertain that the Participant has
received a copy of the current prospectus relating to any Designated Investment
or other investment in which such contribution is to be invested where required
by any state or federal law, and (2) by remitting any contribution to the
Trustee the Employer shall be deemed to represent that the Employer has
received a current prospectus of any investment in which it is to be invested
where required by any state or federal law.

         An Employer adopting this Plan may not rely on the opinion letter
issued by the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service as evidence that

                             PROTOTYPE 401(k) PLAN

                            ARTICLE I. INTRODUCTION

    The Employer has established this Plan (the "Plan"), consisting of the
Adoption Agreement and the following provisions (the "Prototype 401(k) Plan")
for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries.

                            ARTICLE II. DEFINITIONS

    Where the following words and phrases appear in this Plan, they shall have
the respective meanings set forth below, unless their context clearly indicates

versa, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, and vice
versa, where the context requires.

benefit of a Participant, which shall be the sum of the Participant's Salary
Reduction Contribution Account, Deferred Cash Contribution Account, Employer
Profit Sharing Contribution Account, Employer Matching Contribution Account,
Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution Account, Deductible Voluntary Contribution
Account, Rollover Account and Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account and
any transfer account established pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof with respect
to funds transferred to the Trust on the Participant's behalf.

Participant or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant
and Beneficiary calculated using the return multiples specified in Section
1.72-9 of the Treasury Regulations. Unless the Participant elects otherwise,
life expectancies determined as of the First Required Distribution Year shall
be calculated using the attained age of the Participant and, if applicable, the
Beneficiary as of his or her birth date in the First Required Distribution
Year. Life expectancies for subsequent calendar years shall be determined by
reducing the life expectancy determined as of the First Required Distribution
Year by one for each calendar year that has elapsed; provided, however, that
the Participant may elect prior to April 1 of the year immediately following
his or her First Required Distribution Year to have his or her life expectancy
and, if the Participant's Beneficiary is his or her Spouse, the life expectancy
of such Beneficiary, recalculated annually. If a Participant elects
recalculation, life expectancies for each subsequent calendar year shall be
determined using the attained ages of the Participant and, if applicable, his
or her Beneficiary, as of their respective birth dates in such calendar year.

life expectancy of the Beneficiary calculated using the return multiples
specified in Section 1.72-9 of the Treasury Regulations as of the Beneficiary's
birth date in the calendar year in which distributions are required to
commence, and reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year. If the
Beneficiary is the Participant's Spouse, he or she may elect, prior to the time
distributions are required to commence, to have his or her life expectancy
recalculated annually. If a Spouse so elects, his or her life expectancy for
each subsequent calendar year shall be determined as of his or her birth date
in such calendar year.

    2.07     "Beneficiary" shall mean any person or legal representative
effectively designated by the Participant as a person entitled to receive
benefits on or after the death of a Participant. Such term shall also include
any person or legal representative designated by a Beneficiary as a person
entitled to receive benefits on or after the death of such Beneficiary.

    2.08     "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Reference to a section of the Code shall include any comparable section or
sections of future legislation that amends, supplements or supersedes such
section.

    2.09     "Compensation" shall mean:

         (a) except as provided in subsection (b), (c), and (d) and subject to
the limitation of subsection (e), one of the following as elected by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement:

             (i)    W-2 Compensation. Information required to be reported under
Sections 6041, 6051 and 6052 of the Code (Wages, tips and other compensation as

Form W-2). Compensation is defined as wages within the meaning of Section
3401(a) and all other payments of compensation to an Employee by the Employer
(in the course of the Employer's trade or business) for which the Employer is
required to furnish the Employee a written statement under Sections 6041(d),
6051(a)(3) and 6052. Compensation must be determined without regard to any
rules under Section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages based
on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as
the exception for agricultural labor in Section 3401(a)(2)).

             (ii)   415 Safe Harbor Compensation. "Compensation" as defined in
Section 5.05(b)(ii) of this Plan.

             (iii)  Safe Harbor Alternative Definition. Compensation as defined
in Section 2.09(a)(ii) above, reduced by all of the following items (even if
includable in gross income): reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe
benefits (cash and non-cash), moving expenses, deferred compensation, and
welfare benefits.

             (iv)   In the case of a Self-Employed Individual, the
determination of Compensation shall be made on the basis of the Self-Employed
Individual's Earned Income.

         (b) If so specified in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer may elect
to include in the definition of Compensation the Participant's Salary Reduction
Contributions, Deferred Cash Contributions and any other amount which is
contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement and which
is not includable in the gross income of the employee under sections 125,
402(e)(3), 402(h) or 403(b) of the Code.

         (c) If so specified in the Adoption Agreement, an Employer may elect
to exclude from the definition any one or more of the following types of
compensation:





                                       4
<PAGE>   27
             (i)    additional compensation for Participants working outside
their regularly scheduled tour of duty such as overtime pay, premiums for shift
differential and call-in premiums;

             (ii)   bonuses;

             (iii)  commissions;

             (iv)   such other items as specified in the Adoption Agreement;
provided, however, that if the Employer elects an alternative definition of
Compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) for purposes of allocating
Employer Profit Sharing Contributions and forfeitures thereof, then such
alternative definition must be tested by the Administrator to show that it
meets the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 414(s)(3) of the Code. Such
alternative definition of Compensation may not be used for purposes of Articles
V, VI and XXIII.

         (d) If this Plan is adopted, (i) as an amendment to an existing plan,
(ii) to remove a disqualifying provision which results from a change in the
qualification requirements of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and
such other legislation as set forth in Section 1.401(b)-1(b)(2)(ii) of the
regulations under Code Section 401(b), and (iii) within the remedial amendment
period applicable to such disqualifying provision, then for Plan Years
beginning before the date such amendment is adopted, "Compensation" shall,
subject to the limitation of subsection (e), mean compensation as defined under
the terms of the plan prior to its amendment.

         (e) In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan,
and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for Plan
Years beginning on





                                       5
<PAGE>   28
or after January 1, 1994, the annual Compensation of each Participant taken
into account under the Plan for any determination period shall not exceed the
OBRA '93 annual compensation limit. The OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is
$150,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of living
in accordance with Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. The cost-of-living
adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not to exceed
12 months, beginning in such calendar year over which Compensation is
determined ("determination period"). If a determination period is a short Plan
Year (i.e., shorter than 12 months), the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit
will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
months in the determination period, and the denominator of which is 12.

    In determining the Compensation of a Participant for purposes of this
limitation, the rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall apply, except in
applying such rules, the term "family" shall include only the Spouse of the
Participant and any lineal descendants of the Participant who have not attained
age 19 before the close of the year. If, as a result of the application of such
rules the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is exceeded, then (except for
purposes of determining the portion of Compensation up to the integration level
if this Plan provides for permitted disparity), the limitation shall be
prorated among the affected individuals in proportion to each such individual's
Compensation as determined under this Section prior to the application of this
limitation.

    For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, any reference in this
Plan to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall mean the OBRA
'93 annual compensation limit.





                                       6
<PAGE>   29
         (f) Compensation shall be based on the amount actually paid to the
Participant during the Plan Year. To the extent elected by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement, for purposes of allocating Employer Profit Sharing
Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions and/or applying the
Section 401(m) nondiscrimination test, Compensation shall be based on the
amounts paid during that portion of the Plan Year during which the Employee is
eligible to participate with respect to the allocation of such contributions.
To the extent elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, for purposes
of applying the Section 401(k) nondiscrimination test, Compensation shall be
based on the amount paid during that portion of the Plan Year during which the
Employee is eligible to make a salary reduction election and/or to receive
allocations of Deferred Cash Contributions. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, compensation for the purposes of Article V (Code Section 415
Limitations on Allocations) shall be based on the amount actually paid or made
available to the Participant during the Limitation Year. Compensation for the
initial Plan Year for a new plan shall be based upon eligible Participants'
Compensation, subject to the Adoption Agreement, from the Effective Date
through the end of the first Plan Year.

    2.10     "Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account" shall mean the
separate account maintained pursuant to Section 7.03(g) for any deductible
voluntary contributions under Code Section 219 that the Participant made for
1986 and earlier calendar years and the income, expenses, gains and losses
attributable thereto.

the Employer to the Trust on behalf of a Participant subject to the
Participant's right to elect to





                                       7
<PAGE>   30
receive all or a portion of such contribution in cash in lieu of having it
contributed to the Trust on his or her behalf.

    2.12     "Deferred Cash Contribution Account" shall mean the separate
account maintained pursuant to Section 7.03(b) hereof for Deferred Cash
Contributions allocated to the Participant and the income, expenses, gains and
losses attributable thereto.

    2.13     "Deferred Cash Contributions" shall mean contributions to the
Trust by the Employer in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof.

    2.14     "Designated Investment" shall mean either a collective investment

sharing trusts pursuant to Revenue Ruling 81-100, a commingled investment
vehicle for the collective investment of assets of institutional investors, or
a regulated investment company, for which Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc., its
successor or any of its affiliates, acts as investment adviser and any of which
are designated by Scudder Investor Services, Inc. or its successors as eligible
for investment under the Plan.

    2.15     "Designation of Beneficiary" or "Designation" shall mean the
document executed by a Participant under Article XVII.

    2.16     "Disabled" or "Disability" shall mean the inability to engage in
any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or last

    2.17     "Distributor" shall mean Scudder Investor Services, Inc. or its

                                       8
<PAGE>   31
    2.18     "Earned Income" shall mean the net earnings from self-employment
in the trade or business with respect to which the Plan is established, for
which personal services of the Owner-Employee or Self-Employed Individual are a
material income-producing factor. Net earnings will be determined without
regard to items not included in gross income and the deductions allocable to
such items, except that, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1989,
net earnings shall be determined with regard to the deduction allowed by Code
Section 164(f). Net earnings are reduced by contributions by the Employer to a
qualified plan, including this Plan, to the extent deductible under Code
Section 404.

    In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan, and
notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for Plan Years
beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the annual Earned Income of each
Participant taken into account under the Plan for any determination period
shall not exceed the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit.  The OBRA '93 annual
compensation limit is $150,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases
in the cost of living in accordance with Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. The
cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period,
not to exceed 12 months beginning in such calendar year over which Earned
Income is determined ("determination period"). If a determination period is a
short Plan Year (i.e., shorter than 12 months), the OBRA '93 annual
compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of months in the determination period, and the denominator of which
is 12.

    In determining the Earned Income of a Participant for purposes of this
limitation, the rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall apply, except in
applying such rules, the term "family" shall include only the Spouse of the
Participant and any lineal descendants of the





                                       9
<PAGE>   32
Participant who have not attained age 19 before the close of the year. If, as a
result of the application of such rules the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit
is exceeded, then (except for purposes of determining the portion of Earned
Income up to the integration level if this Plan provides for permitted
disparity), the limitation shall be prorated among the affected individuals in
proportion to each such individual's Earned Income as determined under this
Section prior to the application of this limitation.

    For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, any reference in this
Plan to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall mean the OBRA
'93 annual compensation limit.

    2.19     "Effective Date" shall mean the date specified by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement.

    2.20     "Employee" shall mean any individual who performs services in any
capacity in the business of the Employer (including any individual deemed to be

    2.21     "Employer" shall mean the organization or other entity named as
such in the Adoption Agreement and any successor organization or entity which
adopts the Plan. If the organization or other entity named as Employer in the
Adoption Agreement is a sole proprietorship or a professional corporation and
the sole proprietor of such proprietorship or the sole shareholder of the
professional corporation dies, then the legal representative of the estate of
such sole proprietor or shareholder shall be deemed to be the Employer until
such time as, through the disposition of such sole proprietor's or sole
shareholder's estate or





                                       10
<PAGE>   33
otherwise, any organization or other entity succeeds to the interests of the
sole proprietor in the proprietorship or the sole shareholder in the
professional corporation.

    Unless the adopting organization or entity elects otherwise in the Adoption
Agreement, any two or more organizations or entities which are members of (a) a
controlled group of corporations (as defined under Code Section 414(b)) which
includes the adopter, (b) a group of trades or businesses (whether or not
incorporated) which are under common control (as defined under Code Section
414(c)) which includes the adopter, or (c) an affiliated service group (as
defined under Code Section 414(m)) which includes the adopter, will be
considered to be the Employer for the purposes of the Plan.  Similarly, any
other organization or entity which is required to be aggregated with the
adopter pursuant to Code Section 414(o) and the regulations thereunder will be
considered to be the Employer for the purposes of the Plan.

    2.22     "Employer Contributions" shall mean Employer Profit Sharing

owner"), the calendar year during which occurs the later of the Participant's
separation from Service or the Participant's attainment of age 70 1/2, provided

and later becomes a 5% owner, such Participant's First Required Distribution
Year shall be the calendar year during which the Participant attains the status
of a 5% owner;

         (b) any Employee who, in the look-back year:

             (i)    earned more than $75,000 (as adjusted by the Secretary of
the Treasury to reflect rises in the cost of living in accordance with Code
Section 415(d)) in annual compensation,

             (ii)   was an officer and earned more than 50% of the dollar
limitation in effect for such year under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A); or

             (iii)  earned more than $50,000 (as adjusted by the Secretary of
the Treasury to reflect rises in the cost of living in accordance with Code

the Employer that constitutes income from sources within the United States;

         (c) any Employee not described in paragraph (b) above but who is

Employee is among the 100 Employees who received the most compensation from the
Employer during the determination year; and

         (d) any former Employee who has separated from Service but who was a
Highly Compensated Employee as described in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above when
he separated from Service or at any time after he attained age 55.

    For purposes of this Section, "compensation" shall mean the amount paid
during the look-back year or determination year, whichever is applicable, by
the Employer to the Employee for services rendered (regardless of whether the
individual was a Participant at the time) as reportable to the Federal
Government for the purpose of withholding federal income taxes and increased by
any amount to which Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B) or 403(b) apply.
Also for purposes of this Section, no more than 50 Employees or, if lesser, the
greater of three Employees or 10% of Employees shall be treated as officers;
however, if no officer has compensation in excess of the applicable stated
dollar amount above in any year, the officer with the highest compensation
shall be treated as described in paragraph (b) or (c), as applicable.

    For this purpose, the determination year shall be the Plan Year. The

determination year. The Employer may elect to make the look-back year
calculation for a determination on the basis of the





                                       14
<PAGE>   37
calendar year ending with or within the applicable determination year, as
prescribed by Section 414(q) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

    If an Employee is, during a determination year or look-back year, a Family
Member of either a 5% owner who is an active or former Employee or a Highly
Compensated Employee who is one of the ten most Highly Compensated Employees
ranked on the basis of compensation paid by the Employer during such year, then
the Family Member and the 5% owner or top-ten Highly Compensated Employee shall
be aggregated. In such case, the Family Member and the 5% owner or top-ten
Highly Compensated Employee shall be treated as a single Employee receiving
compensation and Plan contributions or benefits equal to the sum of such
compensation and contributions or benefits of the Family Member and 5% owner or
top-ten Highly Compensated Employee. Finally, all interpretative questions
concerning whether an individual constitutes a Highly Compensated Employee
shall be resolved in a manner consistent with Department of Treasury and
Internal Revenue Service interpretations of Code Section 414(q).

    2.30     "Highly Compensated Participant" shall mean a Highly Compensated
Employee who was, at any time during the Plan Year in question, eligible to
participate in the Plan.

    2.31     "Hour of Service" shall mean each hour credited to an Employee in

of Service shall be credited on the basis of weeks of employment and the rules
in paragraphs (i) through (iii) below shall apply as modified by paragraphs
(iv) and (v) below.

<PAGE>   38
             (i)    Each Employee shall be credited with 45 Hours of Service
for each week in which the Employee would be credited with at least one hour of
service under Section 2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor Regulations which
are incorporated herein by reference. In the case of a week which extends into
two computation periods, the Hours of Service for such week shall be allocated
between the two computation periods on a pro rata basis.

             (ii)   In the case of a payment made or due to an Employee which
is not calculated on the basis of units of time, the number of Hours of Service
to be credited shall be equal to the amount of the payment divided by the
Employee's most recent hourly rate of compensation as determined under Section
2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor Regulations.

             (iii)  No more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited under
this Section for any single continuous period (whether or not such period
occurs in a single computation period) during which no duties or services are
performed for the Employer (or any other corporation during a time when such
corporation was related to the Employer within the meaning of Code Section
414), but for which the individual is paid.

             (iv)   The following hours shall be considered to be hours of
service for which an Employee would be credited under Section 2530.200b-2 of
the Department of Labor Regulations for the purposes of subsection (a)(i) of
this Section:

                    (A)   An hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
payment, for the performance of duties or services for the Employer.

                    (B)   An hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
payment, by the Employer (or any other corporation during a time when such
corporation was related to the Employer within the meaning of Code Section 414)
on account of a period of time during which no duties are performed
(irrespective of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to
vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including Disability), layoff, jury
duty, military duty or leave of absence (unless such payment is made or due
solely to comply with applicable workman's compensation, unemployment
compensation or disability insurance laws or solely as reimbursement for the
Employee's medical expenses).

                    (C)   An hour for which back pay, irrespective of
mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer (or any
other corporation during a time when such corporation was related to the
Employer within the meaning of Code Section 414). The same hours shall not be
considered both under paragraph (iv)(A) or paragraph (iv)(B), as the case may
be, and under this paragraph (iv)(C). Such hours shall be treated under
paragraphs (i) through (iii) as occurring in the computation period or periods
to which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in
which the award, agreement or payment is made.

             (v)    Solely for the purpose of determining whether a One-Year
Break in Service has occurred, an Employee shall be credited with any Hours of
Service which would otherwise have been credited to such Employee but for such
absence from work during a Plan Year which commences after December 31, 1984
because of: such Employee's pregnancy, birth of a child of the Employee,
placement of an adopted child with the





                                       17
<PAGE>   40
Employee, or caring for a natural or an adopted child for a period beginning
immediately following birth or placement.

    Hours of Service shall be credited to an Employee pursuant to this
paragraph in the manner indicated in paragraphs (i) through (iii) above for the
computation period during which such absence begins, if the Employee would
otherwise have suffered a One-Year Break in Service and, in all other cases, in
the next following computation period. No more than 501 Hours of Service shall
be credited under this paragraph by reason of any one placement or pregnancy.
Notwithstanding any implication of this paragraph (v) to the contrary, no
credit shall be given pursuant to this paragraph (v) unless the Employee makes
a timely, written filing with the Administrator which establishes valid reasons
for the absence and enumerates the days for which there was such an absence.

         (b) If the Employer has not selected in the Adoption Agreement to have
Hours of Service credited on the basis of weeks of employment, Hours of Service
shall mean:

             (i)    Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
payment, for the performance of duties for the Employer. These hours shall be
credited to the Employee for the computation period in which the duties are
performed;

             (ii)   Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
payment, by the Employer on account of a period of time during which no duties
are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has
terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including
Disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence. No more than
501 Hours of Service shall be credited under this paragraph for any single
continuous period (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation
period). Hours





                                       18
<PAGE>   41
under this subsection shall be calculated and credited pursuant to section
2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor Regulations which are incorporated
herein by this reference;

             (iii)  Solely for the purpose of determining whether a One-Year
Break in Service has occurred, each hour which normally would have been
credited to an Employee (or in any case in which such hours cannot be
determined, eight hours per day of such absence) but for an absence from work
during a Plan Year which commences after December 31, 1984 because of such
individual's pregnancy, birth of a child of the Employee, placement of an
adopted child with the Employee, or caring for an adopted or a natural child
following placement or birth. Hours of Service shall be credited to an Employee
pursuant to this paragraph for the computation period during which such absence
begins if the individual would otherwise have suffered a One-Year Break in
Service, and in all other cases, in the immediately following computation
period. No more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited under this
paragraph by reason of any one placement or pregnancy. Notwithstanding any
implication of this paragraph (iii) to the contrary, no credit shall be given
under this paragraph (iii) unless the Employee makes a timely, written filing
with the Administrator which establishes valid reasons for the absence and
enumerates the days for which there was such an absence;

             (iv)   Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of
damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer. The same Hours of
Service shall not be credited both under paragraph (i), (ii) or (iii), as the
case may be, and under this paragraph (iv). These hours shall be credited to
the Employee for the computation period or





                                       19
<PAGE>   42
periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation
period in which the award, agreement or payment is made.

         (c) (i)    Where the Employer maintains the plan of a predecessor
employer, service for such predecessor employer shall be treated as Service of
the Employer. Where the Employer does not maintain the plan of a predecessor
employer, employment by a predecessor employer, upon the written election of
the Employer made in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner, shall be treated
as Service for the Employer.

             (ii)   If the Employer is a member of (A) a controlled group of
corporations (as defined under Code Section 414(b)), (B) a group of trades or
businesses (whether or not incorporated) which are under common control (as
defined under Code Section 414(c)), or (C) an affiliated service group (as
defined under Code Section 414(m)), all service of an Employee for any member
of such a group, or for any other entity required to be aggregated with the
Employer pursuant to Code Section 414(o) and the regulations thereunder, shall
be treated as if it were Service for the Employer for purposes of this Section.

             (iii)  Except as provided below, service of any Employee who is
considered a leased employee of the Employer under Code Section 414(n)(2) shall
be treated as if it were Service for the Employer for purposes of this Section.
However, qualified plan contributions or benefits provided by the leasing
organization which are attributable to services performed for the Employer
shall be treated as provided by the Employer. The provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply to any leased employee if such individual:

as soon as is administratively possible following his or her initial date of
eligibility;

         (b) Participants shall be given opportunities to elect to commence
having Salary Reduction Contributions made on their respective behalves at such
other time or times as the Administrator designates;

the following provisions shall apply:

         (a) each Participant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to
elect not to have Deferred Cash Allocations contributed to the Trust on his or
her behalf at least once during each Plan Year and at such other time or times
as the Administrator elects;

         (b) such elections may only be made pursuant to written agreements
between the Participant and the Employer;

         (c) each such written agreement shall be in such form and subject to
such rules as the Administrator may prescribe, and the election shall specify
the amount of the Deferred Cash Allocation that the Participant desires to
receive in cash; and

         (d) the amount which a Participant has elected to receive in cash
pursuant to such an election shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer
no later than the last day on which the Deferred Cash Contributions for the
Plan Year in question must be paid to the Trust under Section 7.02 hereof.





                                       33
<PAGE>   56
    Notwithstanding the above, the Deferred Cash Contribution otherwise to be
made for a Participant may be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with
the limitations of Section 4.08 hereof and shall be reduced to the extent
necessary to comply with the limitations of Articles V and VI hereof. Any
amount which cannot be contributed to the Trust because of those limitations
shall be paid to the Participant in cash and such payment shall be subject to
federal income and other tax withholding by the Employer.

    4.03     Employer Profit Sharing Contributions. If selected by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement, for each Plan Year, the Employer will contribute, as
Employer Profit Sharing Contributions, either a fixed amount or the amount
determined by it in its discretion. Employer Profit Sharing Contributions, plus
any forfeitures under Section 8.02 hereof, for a Plan Year shall be allocated
as of the last day of such Plan Year among the Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution Accounts of eligible Participants (as determined in accordance
with the Adoption Agreement), as follows:

         (a) If a non-integrated formula is elected in the Adoption Agreement,
such contribution and forfeitures shall be allocated to the Employer Profit
Sharing Contribution Account of each eligible Participant in the ratio that
each such Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total
Compensation paid to all eligible Participants for the Plan Year; and

         (b) If an integrated formula is elected in the Adoption Agreement,
such contributions and forfeitures shall be allocated in the following steps:

             (i)    First, Employer Profit Sharing Contributions and
forfeitures will be allocated to the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution
Account of each eligible Participant





                                       34
<PAGE>   57
in the ratio that the sum of each such Participant's Compensation and
Compensation in excess of the Integration Level for the Plan Year bears to the
sum of Compensation and Compensation in excess of the Integration Level for all
such eligible Participants for the Plan Year, provided that the amount so
credited to any such Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account
for the Plan Year shall not exceed the product of the Integration Rate times
the sum of the Participant's Compensation and Compensation in excess of the
Integration Level for the Plan Year. For purposes of this step, in the case of
any Participant who has exceeded the cumulative permitted disparity limit
described below, two times such Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year
will be taken into account.

             (ii)   Next, any remaining Employer Profit Sharing Contributions
and forfeitures will be allocated to the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution
Account of each eligible Participant in the ratio that each such Participant's
Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation paid to all
eligible Participants for the Plan Year.

         (c) Overall permitted disparity limits.

             (i)    Annual overall permitted disparity limit: Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraphs, for any Plan Year this Plan benefits any Participant
who benefits under another qualified plan or simplified employee pension, as
defined in Section 408(k) of the Code, maintained by the Employer that provides
for permitted disparity (or imputes disparity), Employer contributions and
forfeitures will be allocated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.03(a)
rather than 4.03(b).

             (ii)   Cumulative permitted disparity limit: Effective for Plan
Years beginning on or after January 1, 1995, the cumulative permitted disparity
limit for a





                                       35
<PAGE>   58
Participant is 35 total cumulative permitted disparity years. Total cumulative
permitted years means the number of years credited to the Participant for
allocation or accrual purposes under this Plan, any other qualified plan or
simplified employee pension plan (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by
the Employer. For purposes of determining the Participant's cumulative
permitted disparity limit, all years ending in the same calendar year are
treated as the same year. If the Participant has not benefitted under a defined
benefit or target benefit plan for any year beginning on or after January 1,
1994, the Participant has no cumulative disparity limit.

    4.04     Employer Matching Contributions.

         (a) If selected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the
Employer will make an Employer Matching Contribution (for allocation together
with forfeitures under Section 8.02 below) to the Participant's Employer
Matching Contribution Account on behalf of each eligible Participant (as
determined in accordance with the Adoption Agreement) for each Plan Year that a
contribution within one or more of the contribution categories selected by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement (i.e;, Salary Reduction Contributions,
Deferred Cash Contributions, or Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions) is
allocated to such Participant's Account. The Employer Matching Contribution
made for an eligible Participant shall be in an amount determined in accordance
with the Adoption Agreement and shall be allocated in the manner specified in
the Adoption Agreement.

         (b) Notwithstanding any implication of the preceding subsection (a) to
the contrary, the Employer Matching Contribution otherwise to be made for a
Participant may be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with the
limitations of Section 4.08 hereof and shall





                                       36
<PAGE>   59
be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations of Articles
V. Any amount which cannot be contributed to the Trust because of these
limitations will be retained by the Employer, and the Employer shall have no
obligation to contribute such amount to the Trust.

    4.05     Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions. If, in the Adoption
Agreement, the Employer has specified that Participants may make Nondeductible
Voluntary Contributions, a Participant may make such contributions to his or
her Account; provided, however, that a Participant's right to make such
contributions shall be subject to the conditions and limitations specified
below:

         (a) The aggregate amount of a Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary
Contributions shall not cause the Annual Addition (as defined in Section
5.05(a) hereof) to his or her Account to exceed the limitations set forth in
Article V.

         (b) A Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions shall be
allocated to his or her Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution Account under
Section 7.03(e) hereof.

         (c) At any time during a Plan Year, the Administrator may cause a
Participant to reduce the rate of his or her Nondeductible Voluntary
Contributions for the remainder of the Plan Year to the extent the
Administrator determines necessary to comply with the limitations of Article V
and VI hereof.

    4.06     Rollover Contributions. The Administrator may, in its discretion,
direct the Trustee to accept a Rollover Contribution upon the express request
of an Employee wishing to make such Rollover Contribution, subject to the
consent of the Trustee if the contribution includes property other than cash. A
Rollover Contribution shall mean a contribution which is an "eligible rollover
distribution" within the meaning of Code Section 402(c)(4) or a "rollover





                                       37
<PAGE>   60
contribution" within the meaning of Code Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) and which
satisfies all applicable provisions of the Code. Each Rollover Contribution
made by an Employee shall be allocated to his or her Rollover Account pursuant
to Section 7.03(h) hereof. Such Rollover Account shall be invested by the
Trustee as part of the Trust Fund, pursuant to Article XIII hereafter. An
Employee may make a contribution under this Section 4.06 whether or not he or
she has satisfied the age and service participation requirements set forth in
the Adoption Agreement. An Employee who makes a contribution under this Section
4.06 and does not otherwise qualify as a Participant is, nevertheless, deemed
to be a Participant for the limited purpose of administering that contribution.

    The Administrator may, in its discretion, accept accumulated deductible
employee contributions (as defined in Code Section 72(o)(5)) that were
distributed from a qualified retirement plan and rolled over pursuant to Code
Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), or 408(d)(3). The rolled over amount will be added
to the Participant's Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account.

    4.07     Transfers from Other Qualified Plans. The Administrator may, in
its discretion, direct the Trustee to accept the transfer of any assets held
for a Participant's benefit under a qualified retirement plan of a former
employer of such Participant. Such a transfer shall be made directly between
the trustee or custodian of the former employer's plan and the Trustee in the
form of cash or its equivalent, and shall be accompanied by written instruction
showing separately the portion of the transfer attributable to types of
contributions made by the former employer and pre-tax and after-tax
contributions made by the Participant, respectively. Separate written
instructions delivered by the Administrator shall identify the portion of the





                                       38
<PAGE>   61
transferred funds, if any, attributable to any period during which the
Participant participated in a defined benefit plan, money purchase pension plan
(including a target benefit plan), stock bonus plan or profit sharing plan
which would otherwise have provided a life annuity form of payment to the
Participant. The Trustee and recordkeeper shall be entitled to rely on such
written instructions with respect to the character of the transferred funds.
Except as otherwise provided in Article XXIV, the amounts transferred shall be
allocated to separate accounts as provided in Section 7.03 that match the
character of the transferred funds.

    4.08     Limitations on Contributions. During a Plan Year, Employer Profit
Sharing Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions may not, in the
aggregate, exceed (a) 15% (or such larger percentage as may be permitted by the
Code as a current deduction to the Employer with respect to any Plan Year) of
the total Compensation (disregarding any exclusion from Compensation specified
by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) paid to, or accrued by the Employer
for, Participants for the Year ending in the Plan Year, less (b) any amounts
contributed as Salary Reduction Contributions and Deferred Cash Contributions,
plus (c) any unused pre-'87 credit carryovers. For this purpose, a "pre-'87
credit carryover" is the amount by which Employer Contributions for a previous
Year which commenced before January 1, 1987 were less than 15% of the total
Compensation (disregarding any exclusion from Compensation specified by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement) paid or accrued by the Employer to
Participants for such Year, but such unused pre-'87 credit carryover shall in
no event permit the Employer Contributions for a Year to exceed 25% (or such
larger percentage as may be permitted by the Code as a deduction to the
Employer) of the total Compensation (disregarding any exclusion from
Compensation specified by the Employer in





                                       39
<PAGE>   62
the Adoption Agreement) paid or accrued by the Employer to Participants for the
Year ending in the Plan Year in question.

    4.09 Deductible Voluntary Contributions. This Plan will not accept
deductible voluntary contributions for taxable years beginning after December
31, 1986. Deductible voluntary contributions made in prior taxable years shall
be maintained in the Participant's Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account
and shall share in the gains and losses of the Trust Fund in accordance with
Section 8.02(e). No part of a Participant's Deductible Voluntary Contribution
Account may be used to purchase life insurance. A Participant may withdraw all
or a portion of his or her Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account in
accordance with Section 11.01.

             ARTICLE V. CODE SECTION 415 LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS

    5.01     Employers Maintaining No Other Plan.

         (a) If a Participant does not participate in, and has never
participated in another qualified plan, a welfare benefit fund (as defined in
Code Section 419(e)), an individual medical account (as defined in Code Section
415(1)(2)), or a simplified employee pension (as defined in Code Section
408(k)) maintained by the Employer, the amount of the Annual Addition which may
be credited to the Participant's Account for any Limitation Year shall not
exceed the lesser of the Maximum Permissible Amount or any other limitation
contained in the Plan.

         (b) If the Employer Contribution (including any forfeitures) that
would otherwise be allocated to a Participant's Account would cause the Annual
Addition for the





                                       40
<PAGE>   63
Limitation Year to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the amount allocated
will be reduced so that any Excess Amount shall be eliminated and,
consequently, the Annual Addition for the Limitation Year will equal the
Maximum Permissible Amount.

             (i)    Prior to determining the Participant's actual Compensation
for the Limitation Year, the Employer may determine the Maximum Permissible
Amount for a Participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the
Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for
all Participants similarly situated.

             (ii)   As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of
each Limitation Year, the Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year
will be determined on the basis of Participants' actual Compensation for the
Limitation Year.

         (c) If the allocation of forfeitures or the use by the Employer of the
estimation described in Section 5.01(b)(i) above results in an Excess Amount,
such Excess Amount shall be eliminated pursuant to the following procedure:

             (i)    The portion of the Excess Amount consisting of
Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions which are a part of the Annual Addition
shall be returned to the Participant (with any income or gains attributable
thereto) as soon as administratively feasible;

             (ii)   At the election of the Administrator, if after the
application of Subparagraph (i) an Excess Amount still exists, the portion of
the Excess Amount consisting of Salary Reduction Contributions and Deferred
Cash Contributions (with any income or gains attributable thereto) shall be
returned to the Participant;

             (iii)  If after the application of subparagraph (ii) an Excess
Amount still exists and the Participant is covered by the Plan at the end of a
Limitation Year, the





                                       41
<PAGE>   64
Excess Amount in the Participant's Account will be used to reduce Employer
Contributions (including any allocation of forfeitures) for such Participant in
the next Limitation Year, and each succeeding Limitation Year if necessary;

             (iv)   If after the application of subparagraph (iii) an Excess
Amount still exists and the Participant is not covered by the Plan at the end
of a Limitation Year, the Excess Amount will be held unallocated in a suspense
account. The suspense account will be applied to reduce proportionately future
Employer Contributions (including any allocation of forfeitures) for all
remaining Participants in the next Limitation Year, and each succeeding
Limitation Year, if necessary. If a suspense account is in existence at any
time during a Limitation Year pursuant to this subparagraph, it will not
participate in the allocation of the Trust's investment gains and losses. In
the event of termination of the Plan, the suspense account shall revert to the
Employer to the extent it may not then be allocated to any Participant's
Account.

             (v)    If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a
particular Limitation Year, all amounts in the suspense account must be
allocated and reallocated to Participants' Accounts before any Employer
Contributions or Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution may be made to the Plan
for that Limitation Year.

         (d) Notwithstanding any other provision in subsections (a) through
(c), the Employer shall not contribute any amount that would cause an
allocation to the suspense account as of the date the contribution is
allocated.





                                       42
<PAGE>   65
    5.02     Employers Maintaining Other Master or Prototype Defined
      Contribution Plans.

         (a) This Section applies if, in addition to this Plan, a Participant
is covered under another qualified Master or Prototype defined contribution
plan, a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code Section 419(e)), an individual
medical account (as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2)), or a simplified
employee pension (as defined in Code Section 408(k)) maintained by the Employer
during any Limitation Year. The Annual Addition which may be allocated to any
Participant's Account for any such Limitation Year shall not exceed the Maximum
Permissible Amount, reduced by the sum of any portion of the Annual Addition
credited to the Participant's account under such other plans, welfare benefit
funds, and individual medical accounts for the same Limitation Year.

         (b) If the Annual Addition with respect to a Participant under other
defined contribution plans, welfare benefit funds, individual medical accounts
and simplified employee pensions maintained by the Employer of what would be
portions of the Annual Addition (if the allocations were made under the Plan)
are less than the Maximum Permissible Amount and the Employer Contribution that
would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant's Account under
this Plan would cause the Annual Addition for the Limitation Year to exceed
this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so that
the Annual Addition under all such plans and funds for the Limitation Year
will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount.

         (c) If the Annual Addition with respect to the Participant under such
other defined contribution plans, welfare benefit funds, individual medical
accounts and simplified employee pensions in the aggregate are equal to or
greater than the Maximum Permissible





                                       43
<PAGE>   66
Amount, no amount will be contributed or allocated to the Participant's Account
under this Plan for the Limitation Year.

         (d) Prior to determining the Participant's actual Compensation for the
Limitation Year, the Employer may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for
a Participant in the manner described in Section 5.01(b)(i) provided the
Employer complies with the provisions of Section 5.01(b)(ii).

         (e) If, pursuant to Section 5.02(d) or as a result of the allocation
of forfeitures, a Participant's Annual Addition under this Plan and such
Participant's annual additions under such other defined contributions plans,
welfare benefit funds, individual medical accounts and simplified employee
pensions would result in an Excess Amount for a Limitation Year, the Excess
Amount will be deemed to consist of the annual additions last allocated, except
that annual additions attributable to a simplified employee pension will be
deemed to have been allocated first, followed by annual additions to a welfare
benefit find or individual medical account, regardless of the actual allocation
date.

         (f) If an Excess Amount was allocated to a Participant under this Plan
on a date which coincides with the date an allocation was made under another
plan, the Excess Amount attributed to this Plan will be the product of:

             (i)    The total Excess Amount allocated as of such date,
multiplied by

             (ii)   the quotient obtained by dividing

                    (A)   the portion of the Annual Addition allocated to the
Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date by





                                       44
<PAGE>   67
                    (B)   the total Annual Addition allocated to the
Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date under this and all the
other qualified Master or Prototype defined contribution plans maintained by
the Employer.

         (g) Any Excess Amount attributed to the Plan will be disposed in the
manner described in Section 5.01.

    5.03 Employers Maintaining Other Defined Contribution Plans. If a
Participant is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan which
is not a Master or Prototype plan, the Annual Addition credited to the
Participant's Account under this Plan for any Limitation Year will be limited
in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02 above as though the plan were
a Master or Prototype Plan, unless the Employer provides other limitations
pursuant to the Adoption Agreement.

    5.04 Employers Maintaining Defined Benefit Plans. If the Employer
maintains, or at any time maintained, a qualified defined benefit plan covering
any Participant in this Plan, the sum of the Participant's Defined Benefit Plan
Fraction and Defined Contribution Plan Fraction will not exceed 1.0 in any
Limitation Year. The Annual Addition which may be credited to the Participant's
Account under this Plan for any Limitation Year will be limited in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5:02 above, unless the Employer provides other
limitations pursuant to the Adoption Agreement.

    5.05 Definitions. For purposes of this Article, the following terms shall
be defined as follows:





                                       45
<PAGE>   68
         (a) Annual Addition. With respect to any Participant, the "Annual
Addition" shall be the sum of the following amounts credited to a Participant's
Account for the Limitation Year:

             (i)    Employer Contributions;

             (ii)   forfeitures; and

             (iii)  Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions.

         For the purposes of calculating the amount of Employer Contributions
credited to a Participant's Account, Excess Elective Deferrals distributed on
or before the April 15 deadline described in Section 6.01(b) below shall not be
considered to be amounts credited to the Participant's Account but Excess
Contributions distributed to the Participant pursuant to Section 6.02 below,
and Excess Aggregate Contributions distributed to, or forfeited by, the
Participant pursuant to Section 6.03, 6.04 or 6.05 below shall be considered to
be amounts credited to a Participant's Account.

    Any Excess Amount applied under Section 5.01(c)(iii) or (iv) or Section
5.02(e) hereof in a Limitation Year to reduce Employer Contributions will be
considered part of the Annual Addition for such Limitation Year. Amounts
allocated, after March 31, 1984, to an individual medical account (as defined
in Code Section 415(1)(2)) which is part of a pension or an annuity plan
maintained by the Employer, or to a simplified employee pension (as defined in
Code Section 408(k)) maintained by the Employer, are treated as part of the
Annual Addition. Also, amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after
December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending after such date, which are
attributable to post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate
account of a Key Employee (as defined in Section 23.02(a) hereof)





                                       46
<PAGE>   69
under a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code Section 419(e)) maintained by
the Employer, are treated as part of the Annual Addition but only for the
purpose of determining whether the dollar limitation portion of the definition
of Maximum Permissible Amount has been exceeded.

         (b) Compensation. For the purposes of this Article V, the term
"Compensation" shall mean one of the following as selected by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement:

             (i)    W-2 Compensation. Information required to be reported under
Sections 6041, 6051 and 6052 of the Code (Wages, tips and other compensation as
reported on Form W-2). Compensation is defined as wages within the meaning of
Section 3401(a) and all other payments of compensation to an Employee by the
Employer (in the course of the Employer's trade or business) for which the
Employer is required to furnish the Employee a written statement under Sections
6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052. Compensation must be determined without regard to
any rules under Section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages
based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed
(such as the exception for agricultural labor in Section 3401(a)(2)).

             (ii)   415 Safe Harbor Compensation. Wages, salaries, and fees for
professional services and other amounts received for personal services actually
rendered in the course of employment with the Employer maintaining the Plan
(including, but not limited to commissions paid salesmen, compensation for
services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance
premiums, tips and bonuses), and excluding the following:

                    (A)   Employer contributions to a plan of deferred
compensation which are not includable in the Participant's gross income for the
taxable year in





                                       47
<PAGE>   70
which contributed, or Employer contributions under a simplified employee
pension plan, or any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation;

                    (B)   Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified
stock option, or when property transferred to the Participant in connection
with the performance of services either becomes freely transferable or is no
longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;

                    (C)   Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other
disposition of stock acquired under an incentive stock option; and

                    (D)   Other amounts which received special tax benefits, or
contributions made by the Employer (whether or not under a salary reduction
agreement) towards the purchase of an annuity described in Code Section 403(b)
(whether or not the amounts are actually excludable from the gross income of
the Participant).

             (iii)  Safe Harbor Alternative Definition. Compensation as defined
in (ii) above, reduced by all of the following items (even if includable in
gross income): reimbursements or other expenses allowances, fringe benefits
(cash and non-cash) moving expenses, deferred compensation and welfare
benefits.

    For any Self-Employed Individual, Compensation shall mean Earned Income.

    For purposes of applying the limitations of this Article V, Compensation
for a Limitation Year is the Compensation actually paid or made available in
gross income during such year.

    Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Compensation for a Participant in a
defined contribution plan who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined
in Code Section 22(e)(3))





                                       48
<PAGE>   71
is the Compensation such Participant would have received for the Limitation
Year if the Participant was paid at the rate of Compensation paid immediately
before becoming permanently and totally disabled; such imputed compensation for
the disabled Participant may be taken into account only if the Participant is
not a Highly Compensated Employee, and contributions made on behalf of such a
Participant are nonforfeitable when made.

         (c) Defined Benefit Fraction. The "Defined Benefit Fraction" shall be
a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Participant's Projected
Annual Benefits under all the defined benefit plans (whether or not terminated)
maintained by the Employer, and the denominator of which is the lesser of 125%
of the dollar limitation in effect for the Limitation Year under Code Section
415(b)(l)(A) or 140% of the Participant's Highest Average Compensation
(including any adjustments required by Code Section 415(b)).

    Notwithstanding the above, if the Participant was a participant as of the
first day of the first Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1986 in one
or more defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer which were in
existence on May 6, 1986, the denominator of this fraction will not be less
than 125% of the sum of the annual benefits under such plans which the
Participant had accrued as of the end of the last Limitation Year beginning
before January 1, 1987 (disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of
the Plan after May 5, 1986). The preceding sentence applies only if the defined
benefit plans individually and in the aggregate satisfied the requirements of
Code Section 415 for all Limitation Years beginning before January 1, 1987.





                                       49
<PAGE>   72
         (d) Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation. The "Defined Contribution
Dollar Limitation" shall be the greater of: (i) $30,000; or (ii) one-fourth
(1/4) of the defined benefit dollar limitation set forth in Code Section
415(b)(i) as in effect for the Limitation Year.

         (e) Defined Contribution Fraction. The "Defined Contribution Fraction"
shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions
to the Participant's account under all the defined contribution plans (whether
or not terminated) maintained by the Employer for the current and all prior
Limitation Years (including the Annual Additions attributable to the
Participant's nondeductible employee contributions to all defined benefit
plans, whether or not terminated, maintained by the Employer, and the Annual
Additions attributable to all welfare benefit funds (as defined in Code Section
419(e)), individual medical accounts (as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2)) and
simplified employee pensions (as defined in Code Section 408(k)), and the
denominator of which is the sum of the Maximum Aggregate Amounts for the
current and all prior Limitation Years of service with the Employer (regardless
of whether a defined contribution plan was maintained by the Employer). The
Maximum Aggregate Amount in any Limitation Year is the lesser of 125% of the
dollar limitation in effect under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) or 35% of the
Participant's Compensation for such year.

    If the Participant was a participant as of the end of the first day of the
first Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1986 in one or more defined
contribution plans maintained by the Employer which were in existence on May 6,
1986, the numerator of this fraction will be adjusted if the sum of this
Defined Contribution Fraction and the Defined Benefit Fraction





                                       50
<PAGE>   73
would otherwise exceed 1.0 under the terms of this Plan. Under the adjustment,
an amount equal to the product of:

             (i)    the excess of the sum of the fractions over 1.0, multiplied
by

             (ii)   the denominator of this Defined Contribution Fraction, will
be permanently subtracted from the numerator of this fraction. The adjustment
is calculated using the fractions as they would be computed as of the end of
the last Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987 (disregarding any
changes in the terms and conditions of the Plan made after May 5, 1986 but
using the Code Section 415 limitation applicable to the first Limitation Year
beginning on or after January 1, 1987). This adjustment also will be made if at
the end of the last Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1984, the sum
of the fractions exceeds 1.0 because of accruals or additions that were made
before the limitations of this Section 5 became effective to any plans of the
Employer in existence on July 1, 1982. For purposes of this paragraph, a Master
or Prototype plan with an opinion letter issued before January 1, 1983, which
was adopted by the Employer on or before September 30, 1983, is treated as a
plan in existence on July 1, 1982.

         (f) Employer. "Employer" means the Employer that adopts this Plan and
all members of (i) a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code
Section 414(b) as modified by Code Section 415(h)), (ii) commonly controlled
trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) (as defined in Code Section
414(c) as modified by Code Section 415(h)), or (iii) affiliated service groups
(as defined in Code Section 414(m)) of which the Employer is a part and (iv)
any other entity required to be aggregated with the employer pursuant to Code
Section 414(o) and the regulations thereunder.





                                       51
<PAGE>   74
         (g) Excess Amount. The "Excess Amount" is the excess of what would
otherwise be a Participant's Annual Addition for the Limitation Year over the
Maximum Permissible Amount. If at the end of a Limitation Year when the Maximum
Permissible Amount is determined on the basis of the Participant's actual
Compensation for the year, an Excess Amount results, the Excess Amount will be
deemed to consist of the portion of the Annual Addition last allocated, except
that the portion of the Annual Addition attributable to a welfare benefit fund
will be deemed to have been allocated first regardless of the actual allocation
date.

         (h) Highest Average Compensation. A Participant's "Highest Average
Compensation" is his or her average Compensation for the three consecutive
Years of Service with the Employer that produces the highest average.

         (i) Limitation Year. A "Limitation Year" is the Plan Year or any other
12-consecutive-month period specified by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement. All qualified plans maintained by the Employer must use the same
Limitation Year. If the Limitation Year is amended to a different
12-consecutive-month period, the new Limitation Year must begin on a date
within the Limitation Year in which the amendment is made.

         (j) Master or Prototype Plan. A "Master or Prototype" plan is a plan
the form of which is the subject of a favorable opinion letter from the
Internal Revenue Service.

         (k) Maximum Permissible Amount. For a Limitation Year, the "Maximum
Permissible Amount" with respect to any Participant shall be the lesser of

             (i)    the Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation or

             (ii)   25% of the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation
Year.





                                       52
<PAGE>   75
    The compensation limitation referred to in (ii) above shall not apply to
contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code Section 401(h) or
Section 419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition under Code
Section 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2).

         (l) Projected Annual Benefit. The "Projected Annual Benefit" is the
annual retirement benefit (adjusted to an actuarial equivalent straight life
annuity if such benefit is expressed in a form other than a straight life
annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity) to which the Participant would
be entitled under the terms of the plan assuming:

             (i)    the Participant will continue employment until normal
retirement date under the plan (or current age, if later), and

             (ii)   the Participant's compensation for the current Limitation
Year and all other relevant factors used to determine benefits under the plan
will remain constant for all future Limitation Years.

                     ARTICLE VI. LIMITATIONS ON DEFERRALS,
               MATCHING ALLOCATIONS AND VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS.

    6.01 Maximum Amount of Elective Deferrals. For each calendar year, the sum
of (i) the Salary Reduction Contributions, (ii) Deferred Cash Contributions
(together "Elective Deferrals") made on behalf of any Participant under this
Plan, and (iii) similar contributions made under all other plans of the
Employer with a cash or deferred feature shall not exceed the dollar limitation
contained in Code Section 402(g) in effect at the beginning of such calendar
year. Elective Deferrals shall not include amounts properly distributed to a
Participant as an Excess Amount pursuant to Section 6.01(b). If, during any
calendar year, more than the





                                       53
<PAGE>   76
maximum permissible amount under Code Section 402(g) is allocated pursuant to
one or more cash or deferred arrangements to a Participant's accounts under the
Plan and any other plan described in Code Sections 401(k), 408(k), 403(b), 457,
or 501(c)(18), the following provisions shall apply:

         (a) The Participant may, but is not required to, assign to this Plan
all or part of such contributions in excess of the maximum permissible amount
(hereinafter "Excess Elective Deferrals") by notifying the Administrator by
March 1 of the calendar year next succeeding the calendar year in which such
contributions are made. To be effective, such notice must be in writing, state
that Excess Elective Deferrals have been made on behalf of such Participant for
the preceding calendar year, and be submitted to the Administrator. A
Participant is deemed to notify the Administrator of any Excess Elective
Deferrals that arise by taking into account only those Excess Elective
Deferrals made to this Plan and any other plans of this Employer.

         (b) To the extent a Participant timely assigns, or is deemed to
assign, Excess Elective Deferrals to the Plan pursuant to (a) above, the
Administrator shall direct the Trustee to distribute such Excess Elective
Deferrals, adjusted for income or loss allocable thereto pursuant to Section
6.01(c) below, to the Participant no later than the April 15 of the calendar
year next succeeding the calendar year in which such Excess Elective Deferrals
were made.

         (c) Excess Elective Deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or loss
up to the last day of the calendar year in which such Excess Elective Deferrals
were made. The income or loss allocable to Excess Elective Deferrals is (i) the
income or loss allocable to the





                                       54
<PAGE>   77
Participant's Salary Reduction Contribution Account and/or Deferred Cash
Contribution Account, as the case may be, for the taxable calendar year
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant's Excess
Elective Deferrals for the year and the denominator is the balance of such
account or accounts, as the case may be, determined as the beginning of the
calendar year plus any Salary Reduction Contributions or Deferred Cash
Contributions made during the calendar year without regard to any income or
loss occurring during such calendar year or (ii) such other amount determined
under any reasonable method, provided that such method is used consistently for
all Participants in calculating the distributions required under this Article
VI for the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan to allocate income or loss to
Participants' Accounts. Income or loss allocable to the period between the end
of the calendar year and the date of distribution shall be disregarded in
determining income or loss. Excess Elective Deferrals shall be treated as an
Annual Addition under the Plan, unless such amounts are distributed no later
than the first April 15 following the close of the calendar year.

    6.02     Limitation on Elective Deferrals.

         (a) For each Plan Year, the Average Deferral Percentage of the group
of Highly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year may not exceed the greater
of (i) 1.25 times the Average Deferral Percentage of the group of Non-Highly
Compensated Participants for the same Plan Year; or (ii) the lesser of 2 times
the Average Deferral Percentage of all such Non-Highly Compensated
Participants, or such Average Deferral Percentage plus 2 percentage points.





                                       55
<PAGE>   78
    For purposes of this Section 6.02, the "Average Deferral Percentage" of a
specified group of Participants for a Plan Year shall be the average of the
ratios (calculated separately for each Participant in such group) of (A) the
amount of the Contributions actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of each
Participant for each Plan Year to (B) the Participant's Compensation for the
Plan Year. For purposes of this Section 6.02, "Compensation" shall have the
same meaning as in Section 2.09(a); provided, however, that to the extent
elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement "Compensation" shall exclude
amounts paid for the period when the Participant was not eligible to make
Elective Deferrals and/or shall include the amounts set forth in Section
2.09(b). For purposes of this Section 6.02, "Contributions" shall include both
Elective Deferrals (including Excess Elective Deferrals of Highly Compensated
Participants) and Qualified Nonelective Contributions, if any. Such
Contributions shall not include (1) Excess Elective Deferrals of Non-Highly
Compensated Participants that arise solely from Elective Deferrals made under
this Plan or other plans of the Employer, and (2) Elective Deferrals that are
taken into account in the Contribution Percentage Test (provided the Average
Deferral Percentage test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of these
Elective Deferrals). For purposes of computing Average Deferral Percentages,
each Employee who would be a Participant but for the failure to make Elective
Deferrals shall be treated as a Participant on whose behalf no Elective
Deferrals are made.

         (b) Special Rules:

             (i)    The deferral percentage of a Highly Compensated Participant
for the Plan Year who is eligible to have Elective Deferrals allocated to his
or her accounts under two or more arrangements described in Code Section
401(k), that are maintained by the





                                       56
<PAGE>   79
Employer, shall be determined as if such Elective Deferrals were made under a
single arrangement. If a Highly Compensated Participant participates in two or
more cash or deferred arrangements that have different Plan Years, all cash or
deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be
treated as a single arrangement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans
shall be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations
promulgated under Code Section 401(k).

             (ii)   In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of
Code Section 401(k), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more
other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such
Code sections only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section 6.02 shall
be applied by determining the Average Deferral Percentages of Employees as if
all such plans were a single plan. For Plan Years beginning after the December
31, 1989, plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(k) only
if they have the same Plan Year.

             (iii)  For purposes of determining the deferral percentage of a
Participant who is a 5% owner or one of the top ten Highly Compensated
Employees, the Elective Deferrals (and, if applicable, Qualified Nonelective
Contributions) and Compensation of such Participant shall include the Elective
Deferrals (and, if applicable, Qualified Nonelective Contributions) and
Compensation for the Plan Year of his Family Members. Such Family Members shall
be disregarded as separate Participants in determining the Average Deferral
Percentage both for Non-Highly Compensated Participants and for Highly
Compensated Participants.





                                       57
<PAGE>   80
             (iv)   For purposes of applying the Average Deferral Percentage
test, Elective Deferrals and Qualified Nonelective Contributions must be made
before the last day of the 12-month period immediately following the Plan Year
to which contributions relate.

             (v)    The Employer shall maintain records sufficient to
demonstrate satisfaction of the Average Deferral Percentage test and the amount
of Qualified Nonelective Contributions, if any, used in such test.

             (vi)   The determination and treatment of the deferral percentage
of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed
by the Secretary of the Treasury.

             (vii)  If, in any Plan Year, the Plan benefits Employees otherwise
excludable from the Plan if the Plan had imposed the greatest minimum age and
service conditions permissible under Section 410(a) of the Code, and the
Employer applies Section 410(b) of the Code separately to the portion of the
Plan that benefits only Employees who satisfy age and service conditions under
the Plan that are lower than the greatest minimum age and service conditions
permissible under Section 410(a) and to the portion of the Plan that benefits
Employees who have satisfied the greatest minimum age and service conditions
permissible under Section 410(a), the Plan shall be treated as comprising two
separate Plans and the Average Deferral Percentage test set forth in subsection
(a) shall be applied separately for each group of Employees in each Plan.

         (c) If, for any Plan Year, the Plan is unable to satisfy the Average
Deferral Percentage test set forth in subsection (a) above, the Employer may
make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution to the Trust in an amount determined
at the discretion of the





                                       58
<PAGE>   81
Employer on behalf of the group of Non-Highly Compensated Participants who were
actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year and who were eligible to
participate in the Plan for the entire Plan Year. The Qualified Nonelective
Contribution will be allocated as follows:

             (i)    The lowest paid Participant in the group will be allocated
an amount equal to the lowest of (1) 25% of the Participant's Compensation for
the Plan Year; (2) the Maximum Permissible Amount applicable to the
Participant; or (3) the full amount of the Qualified Nonelective Contribution.

             (ii)   The next lowest paid Participant will be allocated an
amount equal to the lowest of (1) 25% of the Participant's Compensation for the
Plan Year; (2) the Maximum Permissible Amount applicable to the Participant; or
(3) the balance of the Qualified Nonelective Contribution after the above
allocation.

             (iii)  The allocation in step (ii) will be applied individually to
each remaining Participant in the group, in ascending order of Compensation,
until the Qualified Nonelective Contribution is fully allocated. Once the
Qualified Nonelective Contribution is fully allocated, no further allocation
will be made to the remaining Participants in the group.

         (d) If, for any Plan Year, after taking into account the Qualified
Nonelective Contributions made by the Employer pursuant to Subsection (c)
above, if any, the Administrator shall determine the aggregate amount of
Elective Deferrals of Highly Compensated Participants for such Plan Year
exceeds the maximum amount of such contributions permitted by the Average
Deferral Percentage test set forth in subsection (a) above, the Administrator
shall reduce such excess contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated
Participants in order of their deferral percentages, beginning with the highest
of





                                       59
<PAGE>   82
such percentages (hereinafter "Excess Contributions"). For each Highly
Compensated Participant who is so affected, the Administrator shall reduce
amounts credited to his or her Salary Reduction Contribution Account and
Deferred Cash Contribution Account in proportion to the Participant's Salary
Reduction Contributions and Deferred Cash Contributions for the Plan Year.
Excess Contributions of each Participant who is subjected to the Family Member
aggregation rules shall be allocated among the Family Members of such
Participant in proportion to the Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as
Elective Deferrals) of each Family Member that is combined to determine the
combined deferral percentage.  Such Excess Contributions, plus any income and
minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed to each affected Highly
Compensated Participant no later than the last day of the Plan Year following
the Plan Year in which such Excess Contributions were made. If Excess
Contributions are not distributed before the date which is 2-1/2 months after
the last day of the Plan Year in which such Excess Contributions arose, a 10%
excise tax shall be imposed on the Employer maintaining the Plan with respect
to such amounts. Excess Contributions shall be treated as an Annual Addition
under the Plan.

         (e) Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss up
to and including the last day of the Plan Year for which such Excess
Contributions were made. The income or loss allocable to Excess Contributions
is (i) the income or loss allocable to the Participant's Salary Reduction
Contribution Account and/or Deferred Cash Contribution Account, as the case may
be, for the Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such
Participant's Excess Contributions for the year and the denominator is the
balance of such Account or Accounts, as the case may be, determined as of the
beginning of





                                       60
<PAGE>   83
the Plan Year plus any Salary Reduction Contributions and/or Deferred Cash
Contributions made during the Plan Year without regard to any income or loss
occurring during such Plan Year, or (ii) such other amount determined under any
reasonable method, provided that such method is used consistently for all
Participants in calculating any distributions required under this Article VI
for the Plan Year and is used by the Plan in allocating income or loss to
Participants' Accounts. Income or loss allocable to the period between the end
of the Plan Year and the date of distribution shall be disregarded.

    6.03     Limitation on Voluntary Nondeductible Contributions and Employer
Matching Contributions.

         (a) For each Plan Year, the Average Contribution Percentage of the
group of Highly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year may not exceed the
greater of (i) 1.25 times the Average Contribution Percentage of the group of
Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the same Plan Year, or (ii) the lesser
of 2 times the Average Contribution Percentage of all such Non-Highly
Compensated Participants, or such Average Contribution Percentage plus 2
percentage points.

    For purposes of this Section 6.03, the "Average Contribution Percentage" of
a specified group of Participants for a Plan year shall be the average of the
ratios (expressed as a percentage and calculated separately for each
Participant in such group) of (A) the Contribution Percentage Amounts actually
paid over to the Trust on behalf of each Participant to (B) the Participant's
Compensation for the Plan Year. For purposes of this Section 6.03,
"Compensation" shall have the same meaning as in Section 2.09; provided,
however, that to the extent elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement,
"Compensation" shall exclude





                                       61
<PAGE>   84
amounts paid for the period when the Participant was not eligible to
participate in the Plan with respect to the allocation of Employer Matching
Contributions or with respect to the making of Voluntary Nondeductible
Contributions and/or shall include the amounts set forth in Section 2.09(b).
For purposes of this Section 6.03, "Contribution Percentage Amounts" shall be
the sum of Voluntary Nondeductible Contributions and Employer Matching
Contributions. Such Contribution Percentage Amounts shall not include Employer
Matching Contributions that are forfeited either to correct Excess Aggregate
Contributions or because the contributions to which they related are Excess
Deferrals, Excess Contributions, or Excess Aggregate Contributions. In
determining the Contribution Percentage Amounts, the Administrator may include
Qualified Nonelective Contributions that are not used in satisfying the Average
Deferral Percentage test of Section 6.02 and Qualified Matching Contributions.
The Administrator also may elect to use Elective Deferrals in the Contribution
Percentage Amounts so long as the Average Deferral Percentage test is met
before the Elective Deferrals are used in the Average Contribution Percentage
test and continues to be met following the exclusion of those Elective
Deferrals that are used to meet the Average Contribution Percentage test. For
purposes of computing Average Contribution Percentages, each Employee who is
eligible to make Voluntary Nondeductible Contributions or Elective Deferrals or
to receive an Employer Matching Contribution shall be taken into account as a
Participant, whether or not he is actually making, or entitled to receive, such
contributions to the Trust.

         (b) Special Rules:

             (i)    For purposes of this Section 6.03, the contribution
percentage of a Highly Compensated Participant for the Plan Year who is
eligible to have Contribution





                                       62
<PAGE>   85
Percentage Amounts allocated to his or her accounts under two or more plans
described in Code Section 401(a), or arrangements described in Code Section
401(m) that are maintained by the Employer, shall be determined as if the total
of such Contribution Percentage Amounts was made under each plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if
mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under Code Section 401(m).

             (ii)   In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of
Code Section 401(m), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more
other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such
sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section 6.03
shall be applied by determining the Contribution Percentage of Participants as
if all such plans were a single plan. For Plan Years beginning after December
31, 1989, plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(m) only
if they have the same Plan Year.

             (iii)  For purposes of determining the Contribution Percentage of
a Participant who is a 5% owner or one of the top-ten Highly Compensated
Employees, the Contribution Percentage Amounts and Compensation of such
Participant shall include the Contribution Percentage Amounts and Compensation
for the Plan Year of his Family Members. Such Family Members shall be
disregarded as separate Employees in determining the Average Contribution
Percentage both for Non-Highly Compensated Participants and for Highly
Compensated Participants.

             (iv)   For purposes of applying the Average Contribution
Percentage test, Voluntary Nondeductible Contributions are considered to have
been made in the Plan Year in which contributed to the Trust. Employer Matching
Contributions, Elective





                                       63
<PAGE>   86
Deferrals, Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective
Contributions will be considered made for a Plan Year if made no later than the
end of the 12-month period immediately following the Plan Year to which such
Contributions relate.

             (v)    The Employer shall maintain records sufficient to
demonstrate satisfaction of the Average Contribution Percentage test and the
amount of Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective
Contributions, if any, used in such test.

             (vi)   The determination and treatment of the contribution
percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

             (vii)  If, in any Plan Year, the Plan benefits Employees otherwise
excludable from the Plan if the Plan had imposed the greatest minimum age and
service conditions permissible under Section 410(a) of the Code, and the
Employer applies Section 410(b) of the Code separately to the portion of the
Plan that benefits only Employees who satisfy age and service conditions under
the Plan that are lower than the greatest minimum age and service conditions
permissible under Section 410(a) and to the portion of the Plan that benefits
Employees who have satisfied the greatest minimum age and service conditions
permissible under Section 410(a), the Plan shall be treated as comprising two
separate Plans and the Average Contribution Percentage test set forth in
subsection (a) shall be applied separately for each group of Employees in each
Plan.

         (c) If, for any Plan Year, the Plan is unable to satisfy the Average
Contribution Percentage test set forth in subsection (a) above, in lieu of
distributing excess Contribution Percentage Amounts to Highly Compensated
Participants as provided in





                                       64
<PAGE>   87
subsection (d) below, the Employer may make a Qualified Matching Contribution
to the Trust on behalf of Non-Highly Compensated Participants in an amount
sufficient to enable the Plan to meet the Average Contribution Percentage test
set forth in subsection (a) above. Such Qualified Matching Contribution shall
be allocated to the Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account of each
Non-Highly Compensated Participant who is eligible to participate in the Plan
at any time during the Plan Year in the same manner as the allocation of
Employer Matching Contributions.

         (d) If, for any Plan Year, the Administrator shall determine that the
aggregate Contribution Percentage Amounts of Highly Compensated Participants
for such Plan Year exceeds the maximum amount permitted by the Average
Contribution Percentage test in subsection (a) above, the Administrator shall
reduce such excess Contribution Percentage Amounts made on behalf of Highly
Compensated Participants in order of their contribution percentages, beginning
with the highest of such percentages (hereinafter "Excess Aggregate
Contributions"). The foregoing determination shall be made after first
determining Excess Elective Deferrals pursuant to Section 6.01, and then
determining Excess Contributions pursuant to Section 6.02. For each Highly
Compensated Participant who is affected, the Administrator shall reduce, on a
pro rata basis, amounts credited to his or her Voluntary Nondeductible
Contribution Account and his or her Employer Matching Contribution Account.
Excess Aggregate Contributions of each Highly Compensated Participant who is
subject to the Family Member aggregation rules shall be allocated among the
Family Members in proportion to the Voluntary Nondeductible Contributions and
Employer Matching Contributions (and amounts treated as Contribution Percentage
Amounts) of each Family Member that is





                                       65
<PAGE>   88
combined to determine the combined contribution percentage. Subject to the
provisions of Section 6.05, Excess Aggregate Contributions which are
attributable to the sum of Voluntary Nondeductible Contributions and fully
vested Employer Matching Contributions plus any income and minus any loss
allocable thereto, shall be distributed to each affected Highly Compensated
Participant no later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year
in which such Excess Aggregate Contributions were made. If such Excess
Aggregate Contributions are not distributed within 2-1/2 months after the last
day of the Plan Year in which such Excess Aggregate Contributions arose, a 10%
excise tax shall be imposed on the Employer maintaining the Plan with respect
to those amounts. Excess Aggregate Contributions which are attributable to
Employer Matching Contributions which are not fully vested, plus any income and
minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be forfeited and shall be applied to
reduce future Employer Matching Contributions. Excess Aggregate Contributions
shall be treated as an Annual Addition under the Plan.

         (e) Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or
loss up to and including the last day of the Plan Year for which such Excess
Aggregate Contributions were made. The income or loss allocable to Excess
Aggregate Contributions is (i) the income or loss allocable to the
Participant's Voluntary Nondeductible Contribution Account and/or Employer
Matching Contribution Account, as the case may be, for the Plan Year multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant's Excess Aggregate
Contributions for the year and the denominator is the balance of such Account
or Accounts, as the case may be, determined as of the beginning of the Plan
Year plus any Voluntary Nondeductible Contributions and/or Employer Matching
Contributions made during the Plan





                                       66
<PAGE>   89
without regard to any income or loss occurring during such Plan Year, or (ii)
such other amount determined under any reasonable method, provided that such
method is used consistently for all Participants in calculating any
distributions required under this Article VI for the Plan Year and is used by
the Plan in allocating income or loss to Participants' Accounts. Income or loss
allocable to the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of
distribution shall be disregarded.

    6.04 Multiple Use Test. If one or more Highly Compensated Participants
participate in both a cash or deferred arrangement and a plan subject to the
Average Contribution Percentage test maintained by the Employer and the sum of
the Average Deferral Percentage and Average Contribution Percentage of those
Highly Compensated Participants subject to either or both tests exceeds the
Aggregate Limit, then unless the Employer elects to make a Qualified
Nonelective Contribution or a Qualified Matching Contribution to the Trust to
the extent necessary to enable the Plan to satisfy the Aggregate Limit, the
Contribution Percentage Amounts of those Highly Compensated Participants who
also participate in a cash or deferred arrangement will be reduced (beginning
with such Highly Compensated Participant whose contribution percentage is the
highest) so that the Aggregate Limit is not exceeded. The amount by which each
Highly Compensated Participant's Contribution Percentage Amount is reduced shall
be treated as an Excess Aggregate Contribution. The Average Deferral Percentage
and Average Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Participants are
determined after any corrections required to meet the Average Deferral
Percentage and Average Contribution Percentage tests in Sections 6.02 and 6.03.
Multiple use does not occur if both the Average Deferral Percentage and Average
Contribution Percentage of the Highly





                                       67
<PAGE>   90
Compensated Employees do not exceed 1.25 multiplied by the Average Deferral
Percentage and Average Contribution Percentage of the Non-Highly Compensated
Employees.

    For purposes of this Section 6.04, the "Aggregate Limit" shall mean the sum
of (i) 125 percent of the greater of the Average Deferral Percentage of the
Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year or the Average
Contribution Percentage of the Non-Highly Compensated Participants under the
Plan subject to Code Section 401(m) for the Plan Year beginning with or within
the Plan Year of the cash or deferred arrangement and (ii) the lesser of 200%
of, or two percentage points plus the lesser of such Average Deferral
Percentage or Average Contribution Percentage. "Lesser" shall be substituted
for "greater" in (i) and "greater" shall be substituted for "lesser" after
"two percentage points plus the" in (ii) if such substitution would result in a
larger Aggregate Limit.

    6.05 Further Limitations on Employer Matching Contributions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, any Employer
Matching Contributions related to a Participant's Excess Deferrals, Excess
Contributions and/or Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be forfeited by such
Participant and such amounts shall be applied to reduce future Employer
Matching Contributions.

    6.06 Special Rules. Any amount distributed to a Highly Compensated
Participant pursuant to this Article VI shall not be subject to any of the
consent rules for Participants and sponsors contained in Articles IX, X and
XXIV, below.  Amounts distributed pursuant to this Article VI shall be
allocated on a pro rata basis among the Designated Investments in which a
Participant's Account is invested; provided, however, that the Administrator or
the Participant may specify an alternative manner in which distributions shall
be allocated.





                                       68
<PAGE>   91
              ARTICLE VII. TIME AND MANNER OF MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS

    7.01 Manner. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Trustee, contributions to
said Trustee shall be made only in cash.  All contributions may be made in one
or more installments.

    7.02 Time. Employer Contributions (other than Salary Reduction
Contributions and Deferred Cash Contributions) with respect to a Plan Year
shall be made before the time limit, including extensions thereof, for filing
the Employer's federal income tax return for the Year with or within which the
particular Plan Year ends (or such later time as is permitted by regulations
authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury or delegate or such earlier time as
the Secretary of the Treasury or delegate prescribes with respect to
contributions used to satisfy the nondiscrimination tests set forth in Article
VI above). Unless the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes a later date in
regulations, Salary Reduction and Deferred Cash Contributions shall be made
within 30 days after the date on which, in the absence of the Participant's
election to make such contributions, such amounts would have been payable to
the Participant as cash compensation. Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions for
a given Limitation Year (as defined in Section 5.05(i) above) must be made
during such Limitation Year or within 30 days of the end of the Limitation
Year. Rollover Contributions may be made at any time acceptable to the
Administrator in accordance with Section 4.06 hereof.

    All contributions shall be paid to the Administrator for transfer to the
Trustee, as soon as possible, or, if acceptable to the Administrator and the
Trustee, such contributions may be paid directly to the Trustee. The
Administrator shall transfer such contributions to the Trustee as soon as
possible. The Administrator may establish a payroll deduction system or other





                                       69
<PAGE>   92
procedure to assist the making of Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions to the
Trust, and the Administrator may from time to time adopt rules or policies
governing the manner in which such contributions may be made so that the Plan
may be conveniently administered.

    7.03 Separate Accounts. For each Participant, a separate account shall be
maintained for each of the following types of contributions and the income,
expenses, gains and losses attributable thereto:

         (a) Salary Reduction Contributions, if selected in the Adoption
Agreement;

         (b) Deferred Cash Contributions, if selected in the Adoption
Agreement;

         (c) Employer Profit Sharing Contributions, if selected in the Adoption
Agreement;

         (d) Employer Matching Contributions, if selected in the Adoption
Agreement;

         (e) Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions, if selected in the Adoption
Agreement, with separate accounts maintained for pre-1987 Nondeductible
Voluntary Contributions and post-1986 Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions;

         (f) Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching
Contributions, if selected in the Adoption Agreement;

         (g) Deductible Voluntary Contributions, if Participants made such
contributions in past years; and

         (h) Rollover Contributions, if, pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof, the
Administrator directs the Trustee to accept such contributions.





                                       70
<PAGE>   93
    In addition, pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof, separate accounts will be
maintained for the pre-break and post-break Employer Contributions made on
behalf of a Participant who has Service excluded from the calculations of
Vesting Years.  Notwithstanding the above, if a Participant's rights to one or
more types of Employer Contributions are immediately and fully nonforfeitable
and are subject to the same distribution rules, such types of contributions may
be maintained in a single account.

                             ARTICLE VIII. VESTING

    8.01 When Vested. A Participant shall always have a fully vested and
nonforfeitable interest in his or her Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution
Account, Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account, Salary Reduction
Contribution Account, Deferred Cash Contribution Account, Qualified Nonelective
Contribution Account and Rollover Account. A Participant's interest in his or
her Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and Employer Matching
Contribution Account shall be vested and nonforfeitable at Normal Retirement
Date, death while in Service, Disability, upon termination (including a
complete discontinuance of Employer Contributions) or partial termination of
the Plan and otherwise only to the extent specified in the Adoption Agreement.

    8.02     Employer Profit Sharing Contribution and Employer Matching
Contribution Forfeitures. If a Participant's employment with the Employer is
terminated before his or her Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account
and/or Employer Matching Contribution Account is (are) fully vested in
accordance with Section 8.01, this Section 8.02 shall apply.





                                       71
<PAGE>   94
         (a) The portion of the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution Account and/or Employer Matching Contribution Account which is to
be forfeited pursuant to subsection (b) below shall be treated as follows:

             (i)    if the Employer has not specified otherwise in the Adoption
Agreement, the forfeiture shall be allocated as if it were an Employer Profit
Sharing Contribution or Employer Matching Contribution, as the case may be, for
the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such forfeiture occurs, or

             (ii)   if the Employer so specifies in the Adoption Agreement, the
forfeiture(s) shall be applied to reduce the Employer's obligation to make
Employer Matching Contributions for the Plan Year following the Plan Year in
which the forfeiture occurs, provided that if the amount of the forfeiture to
be reallocated exceeds the Employer's then unsatisfied obligation to make
Employer Matching Contributions for the Plan Year, the forfeiture shall be
applied to reduce the Employer's obligation to make fixed Employer Profit
Sharing Contributions for the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the
forfeiture occurs. If the Plan does not provide for fixed Employer Profit
Sharing Contributions, or the amount of forfeiture to be reallocated exceeds
the Employer's then unsatisfied obligation to make fixed Employer Profit
Sharing Contributions, the forfeiture shall be reallocated as if it were an
additional discretionary Employer Profit Sharing Contribution made for the Plan
Year following the Plan Year in which the forfeiture occurs.

         (b) If the Participant elects to receive a distribution of the value
of his vested account balances in his or her Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution and Employer Matching Contribution Accounts in a lump sum pursuant
to the provisions of Section 10.02(a)(ii) or





                                       72
<PAGE>   95
receives a nonconsensual distribution pursuant to Section 10.04, the nonvested
portion of his or her Employer Profit Sharing Contribution and Employer
Matching Contribution Accounts shall be treated as a forfeiture and reallocated
pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.02(a). For this purpose, if the value
of a Participant's vested account balance in his or her Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution and Employer Matching Contribution Accounts is zero, the
Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such vested
account balance. A Participant's vested account balance shall not include
accumulated deductible employee contributions within the meaning of Code
Section 72(o)(5)(B) for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1989.

    In all other cases, the nonvested portion of a Participant's Employer
Profit Sharing Contribution and Employer Matching Contribution Accounts shall
be treated as a forfeiture and reallocated pursuant to the provisions of
Section 8.02(a) when such Participant incurs five consecutive One-Year Breaks
in Service.

         (c) No forfeitures shall occur solely as a result of withdrawal of
Deductible Voluntary Contributions, Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions, or
Rollover Contributions.

    8.03     Reemployment

         (a) If a former Participant who was not fully vested in his or her
Employer Profit Sharing Contribution and/or Employer Matching Contribution
Accounts at termination of employment is reemployed after incurring five
consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service, he or she shall have no right to any
forfeited account balance. Any undistributed vested portion of his or her
Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account shall be held in a separate vested
Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account, and future Employer Profit
Sharing





                                       73
<PAGE>   96
Contributions on his or her behalf shall be credited to a new Employer Profit
Sharing Contribution Account until such Participant becomes fully vested in
such Account where upon such Participant's old and new Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution Accounts shall be merged. Any undistributed vested portion of his
or her Employer Matching Contribution Account shall be held in a separate
vested Employer Matching Contribution Account, and future Employer Matching
Contributions on his or her behalf shall be credited to a new Employer Matching
Contribution Account until such Participant becomes fully vested in such
Account whereupon such Participant's old and new Employer Matching Contribution
Accounts shall be merged.

         (b) The following provisions shall apply with respect to a former
Participant who was not fully vested in his or her Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution and/or Employer Matching Contribution Accounts at termination of
employment, and who is reemployed before he or she incurs five consecutive
One-Year Breaks in Service:

             (i)    If no amounts have been forfeited from his or her Employer
Profit Sharing Contribution Account and/or Employer Matching Contribution
Account, the amounts remaining in his or her Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution Account and/or Employer Matching Contribution Account shall be
restored to his or her credit.

             (ii)   If the nonvested portion of the Participant's Employer
Profit Sharing Contribution Account and/or Employer Matching Contribution
Account has been forfeited, and the Participant has previously received the
vested portions of his or her Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account
and/or Employer Matching Contribution Account, he or she shall have the right
to repay to the Plan the full amount of such prior





                                       74
<PAGE>   97
distribution. Such repayment must be made on or before the earlier of five
years after the first date on which the Participant is subsequently reemployed
by the Employer, or the close of the first period of five consecutive One-Year
Breaks in Service following the date of distribution. Upon such repayment, the
amount of any such repayment plus the value of the forfeited portion of such
Accounts as of the date of forfeiture shall be credited to such Accounts.

             (iii)  If the Participant is deemed to have received a
distribution from his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and/or
Employer Matching Contribution Account pursuant to Section 8.02(b), and his
entire Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and/or Employer Matching
Contribution Account has been forfeited, upon the reemployment of such
Participant, the value of his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account
and/or Employer Matching Contribution Account as of the date of the forfeiture
shall be restored to his credit within a reasonable time after his or her
reemployment.

             (iv)   Restoration of the previously forfeited amount shall be
funded by current unallocated forfeitures, additional Employer contributions,
or any combination thereof at the Employer's discretion. Such restoration shall
not be treated as an Annual Addition under Article V.

             (v)    Any Employer Profit Sharing Contributions to which such
Participant becomes entitled after reemployment shall be credited to his or her
Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account. Any Employer Matching
Contributions to which such Participant becomes entitled after reemployment
shall be credited to his or her Employer Matching Contribution Account. The
portion of such Accounts to which he or she will be





                                       75
<PAGE>   98
entitled upon subsequent termination of employment will be based upon his or
her aggregate Vesting Years before and after the break.

                      ARTICLE IX. DISTRIBUTIONS UPON DEATH

    9.01     Distributions at Death. If a Participant dies at a time when he or
she has a vested Account balance, this Section shall apply with respect to such
vested Account balance.

         (a) The Trustee shall, at the direction of the Administrator,
distribute a Participant's vested Account balance in accordance with the
provisions of this Article IX. The Administrator's direction shall include
notification of the Participant's death, the existence or non-existence of a
surviving spouse; the amounts, or method of calculating the amounts, to be
distributed on given dates; and such other information required by the Trustee.

         (b) If the Participant has validly named a Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries in compliance with Article XVII, his or her vested Account
balance shall be distributed to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries so named. To
the extent that any portion of a vested Account balance of a deceased
Participant is not governed by an effective Designation of Beneficiary, that
portion of the vested Account balance shall be distributed to the deceased
Participant's Spouse or if that is not possible, to the estate of the deceased
Participant.

         (c) If the Participant has validly elected a form of distribution
permitted under Section 10.02 which complies with the applicable provisions of
subsection (d) below (a "permissible form of distribution") with respect to his
or her vested Account balance, such vested Account balance shall be distributed
in accordance with such election whether or not distributions have commenced
prior to the Participant's death. With respect to any portion of





                                       76
<PAGE>   99
a deceased Participant's vested Account balance for which the Participant had
not validly elected a permissible form of distribution prior to his or her
death, distribution shall be made in such permissible form as the Participant's
Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) may elect in writing with the Trustee. In the
absence of such a valid election by the Beneficiary, the Participant's vested
Account balance shall be distributed as follows:

             (i) if distributions have commenced prior to the Participant's
death, in the form selected by the Participant,

             (ii) if distributions have not commenced prior to the
Participant's death, and if the Beneficiary is the Spouse, in substantially
equal installment payments over the Spouse's Applicable Life Expectancy, or, if
the Beneficiary is not the Spouse, in a lump sum.

         (d) Distribution to the Participant's Beneficiary shall be made
according to the following provisions:

             (i)    If the Participant dies before distributions have commenced
on account of the Participant's attainment of his or her First Required
Distribution Year and if the Beneficiary is not the Spouse, the Participant's
entire vested Account balance must be distributed to the Participant's
Beneficiary either (A) on or before December 31 of the calendar year during
which occurs the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death, or (B) in
substantially equal annual or more frequent installments over a period not
exceeding the Applicable Life Expectancy of the oldest Beneficiary (as
determined as of the date of the Participant's death) provided that such
distributions commence before the second January 1 which follows the
Participant's death.





                                       77
<PAGE>   100
             (ii)   If the Participant dies before distributions have commenced
on account of the Participant's attainment of his or her First Required
Distribution Year and if the Beneficiary is the Spouse, the Participant's
entire vested Account balance must be distributed to the Participant's Spouse
either (A) in a lump sum payable, or in installments which will be completely
paid, on or before December 31 of the calendar year during which occurs the
fifth anniversary of the date of the Participant's death, or (B) in annual
installments over the Spouse's life or a period not longer than the Spouse's
Applicable Life Expectancy provided that such distribution is commenced before
the later of (1) the first January 1 following the calendar year during which
the Participant would have attained age 70 1/2 had the Participant not died or
(2) the second January 1 which follows the Participant's death.

             (iii)  If a Participant dies after distributions have commenced on
account of the Participant's attainment of his or her First Required
Distribution Year, distributions to the Participant's Spouse, Beneficiary or
estate shall continue over a period at least as rapid as the period selected by
the Participant.

         (e) If a Beneficiary dies after the Participant (or in the case of a
Beneficiary designated by another Beneficiary, after such other Beneficiary) and
before such deceased Beneficiary receives full payment of the portion of the
vested Account balance to which he or she is entitled, the Trustee shall, upon
direction of the Administrator, distribute the funds to which the deceased
Beneficiary is entitled to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries validly named on
the most recent Designation of Beneficiary filed by the deceased Beneficiary.
To the extent that any portion of the funds to which the deceased Beneficiary
was entitled are not governed by an effective Designation of Beneficiary, the
funds shall be distributed to the deceased





                                       78
<PAGE>   101
Beneficiary's surviving Spouse, or if that is not possible, to the estate of
the deceased Beneficiary. The Administrator's direction shall include
notification of the Beneficiary's death and the existence or non-existence of a
surviving Spouse and such other information required by the Trustee. Such finds
shall be distributed as follows:

             (i)    If distributions had commenced before the Participant's
death, distribution to the beneficiary of a deceased Beneficiary shall continue
over a period at least as rapid as that selected by the Participant.

             (ii)   If the deceased Beneficiary was the surviving Spouse of the
Participant and had not begun to receive distributions from the Participant's
Account at the time of his or her death, the Participant's vested Account
balance shall be distributed to the deceased Beneficiary's Beneficiary
according to the provisions of Sections 9.01(c) applied as if the deceased
Beneficiary were the Participant. In addition, the surviving Spouse's
Beneficiaries shall be treated as Beneficiaries during any future application
of this Section.

             (iii)  If neither subparagraph (i) nor (ii) above apply, the
Participant's vested Account balance shall be distributed to the deceased
Beneficiary's Beneficiary either (A) on or before December 31 of the calendar
year during which occurs the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death or
(B) in substantially equal annual or more frequent installments over the
remainder of the Applicable Life Expectancy of the oldest Beneficiary of the
Participant as determined at the Participant's death provided that
distributions commence before the second January 1 which follows the
Participant's death.

    9.02     Children as Beneficiaries. For the purposes of Section 9.01, to
the extent provided by Treasury regulations, any distribution paid to a
Participant's child shall be treated





                                       79
<PAGE>   102
as paid to the Participant's surviving Spouse if the remaining portion of the
Participant's vested Account balance with respect to which such child is a
Beneficiary becomes payable to the surviving Spouse when the child reaches the
age of majority (or such other designated event permitted under the Treasury
regulations).

    9.03 Nonconsensual Distributions to Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Article, Article X or Article XXIV to the contrary, the
Administrator may direct the entire vested Account balance of a deceased
Participant (exclusive of his or her Rollover Account and Deductible Voluntary
Contribution Account) be distributed if the amount distributed will be equal to
$3,500 or less. The Administrator may make such direction without obtaining the
consent of any Beneficiary.

    9.04 Eligible Rollover Distributions. If the Participant's Beneficiary is a
surviving Spouse, the provisions of Section 10.07 shall apply to distributions
made pursuant to Article IX.

             ARTICLE X. DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER SEPARATION FROM SERVICE

    10.01 Commencement of Distributions. The Trustee shall, at the direction of
the Administrator, distribute a Participant's vested Account balance in
accordance with the provisions of this Article X. The Administrator's direction
shall include the amounts, or method of calculating the amounts, to be
distributed on given dates and such other information required by the Trustee.
In the event distribution is to be made in the form of an annuity contract, the
Administrator shall also direct the Trustee with regard to the purchase of such
a contract, including the selection of an appropriate insurance carrier. Except
as otherwise





                                       80
<PAGE>   103
provided in this Article X, distributions of a Participant's vested Account
balance shall commence within 60 days after the close of the Plan Year during
which occurs the later of (a) the Participant's Normal Retirement Date or (b)
the earlier of (i) the Participant's separation from Service or (ii) the end of
his or her First Required Distribution Year.  Payment of benefits may, at the
discretion of the Trustee, be paid directly to the Participant or to the
Administrator, as payee agent. If the Participant's vested Account balance
(exclusive of his or her Rollover Account and Deductible Voluntary Contribution
Account) is greater than $3,500, written consent of the Participant is required
for any earlier distribution. A Participant may file an election with the
Administrator to request that distributions commence in accordance with one of
the following options provided that the distribution shall otherwise comply
with the requirements of the Plan (including, but not limited to, Section
10.03):

         (A) Distributions commencing before the Participant's Normal
Retirement Date if the Participant is Disabled or experiences a separation from
Service.

         (B) Distributions commencing after the normal time of distribution
described above; provided, however, that any such deferred distribution must
commence no later than 60 days after the end of the Participant's First
Required Distribution Year.

    10.02    Forms of Distribution.

             (a)    Upon a Participant's separation from Service (for reasons
other than death), he or she may file an election with the Administrator to
request to receive a distribution of his or her vested Account balance in one
or more of the following optional forms, provided that the distribution shall
otherwise comply with the requirements of this





                                       81
<PAGE>   104
Plan and provided that the optional forms have been designated by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement:

             (i)    Distribution of the Participant's entire vested Account
balance in monthly installments over a period equal to the shorter of 120
months or the Applicable Life Expectancy. The monthly amount shall normally be
the balance of the Participant's vested Account balance divided by the
remaining number of months in such period, all rounded to the nearest cent.
However, the amount of each monthly installment may be recomputed and adjusted
from time to time no more frequently than monthly as the Trustee may reasonably
determine.

             (ii)   Distribution of the Participant's entire vested Account
balance in a lump sum.

             (iii)  Distribution of the Participant's entire vested Account
balance in installment payments of a fixed amount, such payments to be made
until exhaustion of the Participant's vested Account balance.

             (iv)   Distribution in kind.

             (v)    Any reasonable combination of the foregoing or any
reasonable time or manner of distribution within the above-stated limitations.

             (vii)  Any distribution option that is a "protected benefit" under
Code Section 411(d)(6).

         (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law and consistent with the
provisions of this Article X, amounts distributed pursuant to this Article X
shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Participant's Accounts and
among the Designated Investments in





                                       82
<PAGE>   105
which each Account is invested; provided, however, that the Participant may
specify to the Administrator an alternative manner in which distributions shall
be so allocated.

    10.03    Required Minimum Distributions. In the case of each Participant,
the annual distribution from his or her Account shall be determined by the
Administrator in accordance with the regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9),
including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of Section
1.401(c)(9)-2 of such regulations and must equal or exceed the amount equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account balance at the
beginning of the calendar year by the lesser of (a) the Applicable Life
Expectancy, or (b) if the Participant's Spouse is not the Beneficiary, the
applicable divisor determined from the table set forth in Q&A-4 of Section
1.401(a)(9)-2 of the regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9).

    10.04    Nonconsensual Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of
Article IX, this Article or Article XXIV to the contrary, the Administrator may
direct that the entire vested Account balance of a Participant (exclusive of
his or her Rollover Account and Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account) be
distributed if the amount distributed will be equal to $3,500 or less. The
Administrator may make such direction (a) only if the Participant has not
previously attained his or her Annuity Starting Date and (b)regardless of
whether the Participant requests or otherwise consents to such distribution.

    10.05    Special One-Time Distribution Election. Notwithstanding any Plan
provision to the contrary, distribution on behalf of any Participant, including
a 5% owner, may be made in accordance with the following requirements
(regardless of when such distribution commences):

<PAGE>   106
         (a) The distribution is one which would not have disqualified the Plan
under Code Section 401(a)(9) as it was in effect prior to its amendment by the
Deficit Reduction Act of 1984.

         (b) The distribution is in accordance with a method of distribution
designated by the Participant whose interest in the Plan is being distributed
or, if the Participant has died, by a beneficiary of such Participant.

         (c) Such designation was in writing, was signed by the Participant or
the beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1984.

         (d) The Participant had accrued a benefit under the Plan as of
December 31, 1983.

         (e) The method of distribution designated by the Participant or the
beneficiary specifies the time at which distribution will commence, the period
over which distributions will be made, and in the case of any distribution upon
the Participant's death, the Beneficiaries of the Participant are listed in
order of priority.

         (f) If the distribution is one to which the provisions of Article XXIV
hereof would otherwise have applied and the Participant is married, the
Participant's Spouse consents to the election in a writing filed with the
Administrator.

    A distribution upon death will not be covered by this Section unless the
information in the designation contains the required information described
above with respect to the distributions to be made upon the death of the
Participant.

    For any distribution which commenced before January 1, 1984, but continues
after December 31, 1983, the Participant; or the Beneficiary, to whom such
distribution is being





                                       84
<PAGE>   107
made, will be presumed to have designated the method of distribution under
which the distribution is being made if the method of distribution was
specified in writing and the distribution satisfies the requirement in
subsections (a) and (e) above.

    If a designation is revoked, any subsequent distribution must satisfy the
requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) as amended. Any changes in the
designation will be considered to be a revocation of the designation. However,
the mere substitution or addition of another Beneficiary (one not named in the
designation) under the designation will not be considered to be a revocation of
the designation, so long as such substitution or addition does not alter the
period over which distributions are to be made under the designation, directly
or indirectly (for example, by altering the relevant measuring life).

    10.06    Distribution on Account of Plan Termination. Subject to the
provisions of Section 11.04, if the Employer terminates the Plan or completely
discontinues making Employer Contributions to the Trust, the Administrator has
discretion pursuant to Section 20.03 below to distribute, or retain in the
Trust, Participants' Account balances.

    10.07    Eligible Rollover Distribution.

         (a) This Section applies to distributions made by the Trustee on or
after January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee's election under this
Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by
the Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution
paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a
Direct Rollover.





                                       85
<PAGE>   108
         (b) An Eligible Rollover Distribution is any distribution of all or
any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an
Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: any distribution that is one
of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than
annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the
joint lives (or life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's
designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any
distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section
401(a)(9); and the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross
income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized
appreciation with respect to employer securities).

         (c) An Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account
described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in
Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), or a
qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a), that accepts the
Distributee's Eligible Rollover Distribution.  However, in the case of an
Eligible Rollover Distribution to the surviving Spouse, an Eligible Retirement
Plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.

         (d) A Distributee includes an Employee or former Employee. In
addition, the Employee's or former Employee's surviving Spouse and the
Employee's or former Employee's Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate
payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p)
of the Code, are Distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse or
former Spouse.

         (e) A Direct Rollover is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible
Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.





                                       86
<PAGE>   109
    If a distribution is one to which Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not
apply, such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice
required under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given,
provided that:

             (i)    the Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the
Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the
notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and,
if applicable, a particular distribution option), and

             (ii)   the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively
elects a distribution.

                       ARTICLE XI. IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWALS

    11.01    In-service Withdrawal from Participant's Accounts. This Section
11.01 shall apply only to Participants who remain in the employ of the
Employer.

         (a) Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution Account. A Participant may
withdraw all or a portion of his or her Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution
Account upon notice to the Administrator; provided, however, that a Participant
who withdraws any amount from his or her Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution
Account which previously generated an Employer Matching Contribution shall be
prohibited from making a nondeductible voluntary contribution for six calendar
months, beginning with the calendar month immediately following the date of
withdrawal.

         (b) Rollover Account. A Participant may withdraw all or a portion of
his or her Rollover Account upon notice to the Administrator.





                                       87
<PAGE>   110
         (c) Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account. A Participant may
withdraw all or a portion of his or her Deductible Voluntary Contribution
Account upon notice to the Administrator.

         (d) Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account. Upon attainment of
his or her Normal Retirement Date, a Participant may withdraw all or a portion
of his or her Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account upon notice to the
Administrator. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a
Participant who has not attained his or her Normal Retirement Date but who is
fully vested in his or her Employer Profit Sharing Contribution may submit a
request to the Administrator for a withdrawal of all or a portion of his or her
Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account.  The Administrator may permit
such a withdrawal only if the Participant can demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Administrator that he or she is suffering from "hardship" as defined in
Section 11.02 below.

         (e) Employer Matching Contribution Account. Upon attainment of his or
her Normal Retirement Date, a Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his
or her Employer Matching Contribution Account upon notice to the Administrator.
If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant who has not
attained his or her Normal Retirement Date but who is fully vested in his or
her Employer Matching Contribution Account may submit a request to the
Administrator for a withdrawal of all or a portion of his or her Employer
Matching Contribution Account. The Administrator may permit such a withdrawal
only if the Participant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that he or she is suffering from "hardship" as defined in Section
11.02 below.





                                       88
<PAGE>   111
         (f) Salary Reduction Contribution Account. Deferred Cash Contribution
Account and Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account. Upon attainment of his
or her Normal Retirement Date, a Participant may withdraw all or a portion of
his or her Salary Reduction Contribution Account, Deferred Cash Contribution
Account and/or Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account upon notice to the
Administrator. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a
Participant who has not attained his or her Normal Retirement Date may submit a
request to the Administrator for a withdrawal of all or a portion of his or her
Salary Reduction Contribution Account or Deferred Cash Contribution Account
(but not earnings on such accounts after December 31, 1988). The Administrator
may permit such a withdrawal only if the Participant can demonstrate that he or
she is suffering from "hardship" as defined in Section 11.02 below.

    11.02    Rules Governing Hardship Withdrawals. A Participant shall be
considered to be suffering from "hardship" only if the distribution is both
made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant and
is necessary to satisfy such financial need, determined in accordance with
objective, nondiscretionary standards as set forth in this Section.

         (a) An "immediate and heavy financial need" shall be deemed to
include, and shall be limited to, the following:

             (i)    Expenses incurred or necessary for medical care described
in Code Section 213(d) of the Participant, his or her Spouse, or any dependents
of the Participant (as defined in Code Section 152);





                                       89
<PAGE>   112
             (ii)   Purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal
residence for the Participant;

             (iii)  Payment of tuition, related educational fees and room and
board for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant,
his or her Spouse, children, or dependents; or

             (iv)   The need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from
his or her principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the
Participant's principal residence.

         (b) A distribution will be treated as "necessary" to satisfy an
immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant only if:

             (i)    The Participant has obtained all distributions, other than
hardship distributions, and all nontaxable loans under all plans maintained by
the Employer;

             (ii)   All plans maintained by the Employer provide that the
Participant's Salary Reduction Contributions and/or Deferred Cash Contributions
(and Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions) will be suspended for 12 months
after the receipt of the hardship distribution;

             (iii)  The distribution is not in excess of the amount of an
immediate and heavy financial need (including amounts necessary to pay any
federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to
result from the distribution); and

             (iv)   All plans maintained by the Employer provide that the
Participant may not make Salary Reduction Contribution and/or Deferred Cash
Contributions for the Participant's taxable year immediately following the
taxable year of the hardship distribution in excess of the applicable limit
under Code Section 402(g) for such taxable year less the





                                       90
<PAGE>   113
amount of such Participant's Salary Reduction Contributions and/or Deferred
Cash Contributions for the taxable year of the hardship distribution.

    11.03    Manner of Distribution. A distribution under this Article shall be
made in a lump-sum payment to the Participant. In each case in which a partial
distribution is made from a Participant's Account, the amount distributed from
such Account pursuant to this Article XI shall be allocated on a pro rata basis
among the Designated Investments in which such Account is invested; provided,
however, that the Administrator or the Participant may specify an alternative
manner in which such distribution shall be so allocated.

    11.04    Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary elsewhere herein, the amounts credited to a Participant's Salary
Reduction Contribution Account and Deferred Cash Contribution Account, and
Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account shall not be distributable to a
Participant or his or her Beneficiary until the Participant separates from
Service on account of retirement, disability, death or termination of
employment or upon the occurrence of one of the following events:

         (a) Termination of the Plan without the establishment of another
defined contribution plan, other than an employee stock ownership plan (as
defined in Code Section 4975(e) or Section 409) or a simplified pension plan as
defined in Code Section 408(k).

         (b) The disposition by a corporation to an unrelated corporation of
substantially all of the assets (within the meaning of Code Section 409(d)(2))
used in a trade or business of such corporation if such corporation continues
to maintain this Plan after the disposition, but only with respect to
Participants who continue employment with the corporation acquiring such
assets.





                                       91
<PAGE>   114
         (c) The disposition by a corporation to an unrelated entity of such
corporation interest in a subsidiary (within the meaning of Code Section
409(d)(3)) if such corporation continues to maintain this Plan, but only with
respect to Participants who continue employment with such subsidiary.

         (d) The attainment of age 59-1/2 by the Participant.

         (e) In the case of the Participant's Salary Reduction Contribution
Account and Deferred Cash Contribution Account, the hardship of the Participant
as described in Section 11.02.

    All distributions that may be made pursuant to one or more of the foregoing
distributable events are subject to the spousal and Participant consent
requirements (if applicable) contained in Code Sections 411(a)(11) and 417. In
addition, distributions made after March 31, 1988, that are triggered by an
event enumerated in Sections 11.04(a)-(c) must be made in a lump sum.

                               ARTICLE XII. LOANS

    12.01 Availability of Loans. If, in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer
has specified that loans to Participants are permitted, the Loan Trustee shall,
upon the direction of the Administrator, make one or more loans, including any
renewal thereof, to a Participant who is an Employee or, in the discretion of
the Administrator, a former Employee (other than a Participant who is an
Owner-Employee). Any such loan shall be subject to such terms and conditions as
the Administrator shall determine pursuant to a written uniform policy adopted
by the Administrator for this purpose, which policy shall be incorporated
herein as part of the





                                       92
<PAGE>   115
Plan, at least as restrictive as required by this Article, and, contain
specific provisions setting forth: (a) the identity of the person or positions
authorized to administer the loan program; (b) a procedure for applying for
loans; (c) the basis upon which loans will be approved or denied; (d)
limitations, in addition to those described in this Article XII, on the types
and amount of loans offered; (e) the procedure under the program for
determining a reasonable rate of interest; (f) the types of collateral which
may secure a loan; and (g) the events constituting default and the steps that
will be taken to preserve plan assets in the event of such default.

    12.02    Spousal Consent Required. If this Plan is adopted as a plan which
is subject to the special annuity rules discussed in Article XXIV below, to
obtain a loan, a Participant must obtain the consent of his or her Spouse, if
any, within the 90-day period before the time his or her Account balance is
used as security for the loan. Furthermore, a new consent is required if an
increase in the amount of the security-is necessary and any of the remaining
balance of the Account is used. A spousal consent to a loan must be in writing,
witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public, and acknowledge that as a
result of a default in repayment of the loan the Spouse may be entitled to a
lesser death benefit than he or she would otherwise receive under the Plan. A
Spouse shall be deemed to consent to any loan which is outstanding at the time
of his or her marriage to the Participant.

    12.03    Equivalent Basis. No such loan may be made to a disqualified
person within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e), unless such loans are
available to all active Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis and are
not made available to Highly Compensated





                                       93
<PAGE>   116

Employees in an amount which, when stated as a percentage of any such
Participant's Account, is greater than is available to any other Participants.

    12.04    Limitation on Amount. The amount of any such loan, when added to
the outstanding balance of all other loans from the Trust (and any other
qualified retirement plans of the Employer) to the Participant, shall not
exceed the lesser of:

         (a) $50,000 reduced by the amount by which (i) the highest outstanding
balance of all such loans to the Participant during the one-year period ending
on the day before the date on which the loan is made exceeds (ii) the
outstanding balance of such loans to the Participant on the date on which such
loan is made; or

         (b) the amount determined pursuant to the following chart:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
            Vested                         Maximum
        Account Balance                Amount of Loan
        ---------------                --------------
         <S>                    <C>
         $0 - $100,000           50% of vested Account balance
         over $100,000                    $50,000.
</TABLE>

    The value of the Participant's Account balance shall be as determined by
the Administrator; provided, however, that such determination shall in no event
take into account the portion of the Participant's Account attributable to the
Participant's Deductible Voluntary Contribution Account.

    12.05    Maximum Term. The term of any such loan shall not exceed five
years; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any loan used
for the purchase of a dwelling unit which within a reasonable time is to be
used (determined at the time the loan is made) as a principal residence of the
Participant.





                                       94
<PAGE>   117
    12.06    Promissory Note. Any such loan shall be evidenced by a promissory
note executed by the Participant and payable to the Loan Trustee, on the
earliest of (i) a fixed maturity date meeting the requirements of Section 12.05
above, (ii) the Participant's death (iii) the Participant's separation from
service if the loan policy does not permit loans to former Employees. Such
promissory note shall evidence such terms as are required by this Article.

    12.07    Adequate Security. Each loan and related promissory note shall be
secured by an assignment of no more than 50 percent of the Participant's
Account to the Loan Trustee. A Participant may also provide such other or
additional security for the loan as the Loan Trustee may require or permit.

    12.08    Repayment By Payroll Reduction. In addition to executing a
promissory note, the Participant who desires to take out a loan shall enter
into a payroll reduction agreement with the Employer or such other form of
repayment agreement with the Employer as the Administrator permits from time to
time. The Participant shall enter into such agreement on or before the date
when the loan is made. Such agreement shall provide that, if the Participant
defaults on the loan while he or she is still an Employee, the Employer shall
be entitled to reduce the Participant's pay in sufficient increments to ensure
that, over a reasonable period of time, the amount with respect to which the
Participant has defaulted plus any interest owed and any costs of collection
incurred by the Loan Trustee will be repaid to the Trust. The Employer shall
promptly pay to the Loan Trustee all amounts that the Employer withholds from a
Participant's pay pursuant to such a payroll reduction agreement or other
repayment agreement. The Administrator and/or Loan Trustee shall credit all
amounts withheld from a





                                       95
<PAGE>   118
Participant's pay or collected pursuant to a repayment agreement to the
relevant Participant's Account as payments of amounts owed on the note.

    12.09    Interest. Any such loan shall be subject to a reasonable rate of
interest.

    12.10    Level Amortization. A Participant shall repay the principal of any
loan according to a schedule which shall provide for level amortization over a
period of the loan, with payments to be made no less frequently than quarterly.

    12.11    Additional Repayment Rules. If a Participant fails to make a
payment in accordance with the schedule developed in accordance with the
requirements of Section 12.10 above, the Administrator shall notify the
Participant in writing that if the relevant loan principal and accumulated and
unpaid interest thereon is not paid within 30 days, action will be taken to
collect such amounts plus any cost of collection. When collecting such amounts,
the Loan Trustee may utilize any of the remedies available to it including
those provided by the promissory note, a payroll reduction agreement entered
into pursuant to Section 12.08 and applicable law. If a note is not paid when
the Participant's benefits hereunder are to be distributed, then any unpaid
portion of such loan, and unpaid interest thereon, and any costs of collection
incurred by the Loan Trustee shall be deducted by the Loan Trustee from the
Participant's Account before benefits are paid from or purchased out of the
Account. Such deduction shall, to the extent thereof, cancel the indebtedness
of the Participant. Notwithstanding any implication of the preceding sentence
to the contrary, no attachment of the Participant's Account which is subject to
Section 11.04 shall occur until a distributable event occurs as specified in
Section 11.04.





                                       96
<PAGE>   119
    12.12    Accounting. Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis among the
Participant's Accounts and among the Designated Investments in which each
Account is invested and shall be treated as an investment of each such Account,
provided, however, that the Administrator or the Participant may specify an
alternative manner in which such loan shall be so allocated. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no loans shall be made from the Participant's Deductible
Voluntary Contribution Account, and without the consent of the Distributor, no
loans shall be made from the Participant's Accounts invested in qualifying
employer securities.

    12.13    Administration of Loans. Except as expressly provided otherwise in
this Article XII, the Administrator shall have the sole responsibility for all
administrative tasks relating to loans made pursuant hereto including, but not
limited to, the issuance of any appropriate notices or information returns
required under the Code or other applicable law.

    12.14    Precedence. This Article overrides Section 18.01 below.

                         ARTICLE XIII. TRUST PROVISIONS

    13.01    Manner of Investment. Except as expressly provided otherwise
herein, all contributions made pursuant to the Plan and any assets in which
such contributions shall be invested or reinvested shall be held in trust by
one or more Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement of Trust.
Certain assets of the Plan (including, but not limited to, insurance contracts
and shares of securities of an Employer that are not publicly traded) may be
held by the Administrator or such other entity as the Trustee may appoint as
subcustodian on behalf of the Trustee. Except to the extent that a
Participant's Account is invested in a loan pursuant to Article XII hereof, the
Account of a Participant may only be invested and reinvested in





                                       97
<PAGE>   120
Designated Investments, unless the Distributor consents to such other
investments. If the Administrator or the Participant, as the case may be, has
elected to have a portion of an Account invested in investments other than
Designated Investments, and the Distributor has given its consent, the Trustee
shall invest such amount in such investments, directed by the Administrator or
other person with investment discretion and in accordance with Section 13.03
hereof. Both the Designated Investments and investments other than Designated
Investments available for investment may be limited by the Administrator who
may impose separate rules for separate accounts or for terminated Participants.
Investment in more than one Designated Investment is not permitted unless the
value of the Participant's Account and the value of the investment in each
additional Designated Investment exceed amounts from time to time determined by
the Distributor.

    If the Trustee invests in one or more collective investment funds (whether
or not the Trustee acts as trustee thereof) for the collective investment of
assets of employee pension or profit-sharing trusts pursuant to Revenue Ruling
81-100, and such collective investment fund constitutes a qualified trust under
the applicable provisions of the Code, such collective investment funds shall
constitute part of the Plan, and the instrument creating such funds shall
constitute part of this Agreement of Trust while any portion of the Trust is so
invested.

    13.02    Investment Decision.

         (a) The decision as to the investment of an Account shall be made by
the person designated in the Adoption Agreement or as provided in this Section
13.02, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining how an
Account is to be invested or to see that investment directions communicated to
it comply with the terms of the Plan.  Each such





                                       98
<PAGE>   121
person, including the Administrator, a Participant or a Beneficiary, is hereby
designated a "named fiduciary" within the meaning of Sections 402(a)(2) and
403(a)(1) of the Act, with respect to the Accounts over which he or she may
exercise investment control. If the decision is made by the Participant, then
(subject to Section 13.02(d) below) the Participant shall convey investment
instructions to the Administrator and the Administrator shall promptly transmit
those instructions to the Trustee. Further, if the decision is to be made by
the Participant, the right to make such a decision shall remain with the
Participant upon retirement and shall pass to his or her Beneficiary upon
death; provided, however, that upon termination of Service by a Participant,
the Administrator shall have the right to make investment decisions with
respect to the portion of such Participant's Account which is not vested
pursuant to Article VIII and any suspense account maintained under the Plan. In
the event that all or a portion of a Participant's Account is assigned to an
"alternate payee" pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations order," such
alternate payee shall have the right to make investment decisions with respect
to such portion and any earnings thereon to the same extent as the Participant.

         (b) The person designated to make the decision as to the investment of
an Account may direct that the investment medium of an Account be changed,
provided that no such change may be made from or to an investment other than a
Designated Investment except to the extent permitted under Section 13.01 above
and by the terms of that other investment vehicle. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrator may from time to time establish uniform,
nondiscretionary rules with respect to the frequency or times at which changes
in the investment medium of the Account may be made. If the Distributor
determines in its own





                                       99
<PAGE>   122
judgment that there has been trading of Designated Investments in the Accounts
of the Participants, any Designated Investment may refuse to sell to such
Accounts. When an investment is being made or changed, the person designated to
do so shall specify the type of Account to which the change refers.

         (c) Except as provided in subsection (a) above, if any decision as to
investments is to be made by the Administrator, it shall be made on a uniform
basis with respect to all Participants.

         (d) The Administrator and the Trustee may adopt procedures permitting
Participants to convey their investment instructions directly to the Trustee or
to the transfer agent for the Designated Investment or for any other investment
permitted by the Distributor.

         (e) Whenever a Participant is the person designated to make the
decision as to the investment of an Account, the Administrator shall ascertain
that the Participant has received a copy of the current prospectus relating to
any Designated Investment in which such Account is to be invested where
required by any state or federal law. With respect to contributions designated
for investment by a Participant, by remitting such a contribution to the
Trustee, the Administrator shall be deemed to warrant to the Trustee for the
benefit of the appropriate Designated Investment and its principal underwriter
(if applicable) that the Participant has received all such prospectuses. By
remitting any other contribution to the Trustee, the Administrator shall be
deemed to warrant to the Trustee for the benefit of the appropriate Designated
Investment and its principal underwriter (if applicable) that the Administrator
has received a current prospectus of any Designated Investment in which the
contribution is to be invested where required by any state or federal law.

determining whether such acquisition or holding complies with the Act; and
provided further that the Administrator shall be responsible for filing all
reports required under federal or state securities laws with respect to the
Trust Fund's ownership of qualifying employer securities (including without
limitation any reports required under Section 13 or 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and shall immediately notify the Trustee in
writing of any requirement to stop purchases or sales of employer securities
pending the filing of any report, and the Trustee shall provide to the





                                      103
<PAGE>   126
Administrator such information on the Trust Fund's ownership of qualifying
employer securities as the Administrator may reasonably request in order to
comply with federal or state securities laws and the Act;

         (m) To convert any monies into any currency through foreign exchange

                                      104
<PAGE>   127
         (d) With the consent of the Administrator, to loan securities held in
the Trust to brokers or dealers or other borrowers under such terms and
conditions as the Trustee, in its absolute discretion, deems advisable, to
secure the same in any manner permitted by law and the provisions of this
Agreement, and during the term of any such loan, to permit the loaned
securities to be transferred into the name of and voted by the borrowers or
others, and, in connection with the exercise of the powers hereinabove granted,
to hold any property deposited as collateral by the borrower pursuant to any
master loan agreement in bulk, together with the unallocated interests of other
lenders, and to retain any such property upon the default of the borrower,
whether or not investment in such property is authorized under this Agreement,
and to receive compensation therefor out of any amounts paid by or charged to
the account of the borrower.

    13.05    Limitations in Investments. Notwithstanding the above, the
following restrictions on the investment of a Participant's Account shall
apply:

         (a) No part of a Participant's Deductible Voluntary Contribution
Account may be used to purchase life insurance.

         (b) At most, less than one-half of the aggregate Employer
Contributions allocated to a Participant's Employer Contribution Account may be
used to pay premiums attributable to the purchase of ordinary life insurance
contracts (life insurance contracts with both nondecreasing death benefits and
non-increasing premiums).

         (c) No more than one-quarter of aggregate Employer Contributions
allocated to a Participant's Account may be used to pay premiums on term life
insurance contracts,





                                      105
<PAGE>   128
universal life insurance contracts, and all other life insurance contracts
which are not ordinary life insurance contracts.

         (d) One-half of the amount used to pay premiums on ordinary life
insurance contracts plus the amount used to pay premiums on all other life
insurance contracts may not exceed an amount equal to one-quarter of the
aggregate Employer Contributions allocated to a Participant's Account.

         (e) No part of a Participant's Account shall be applied towards the
purchase of any insurance contract unless (i) the Trustee applies for and is
the owner of such contract, (ii) the contract provides that all contract
proceeds shall be paid to the Trustee, and (iii) the contract provides for
distributions to the Participant's Spouse, as necessary to ensure compliance
with the applicable requirements of Articles IX, X, and XXIV.

         (f) Amounts used to pay premiums on, or purchase, any insurance
contract(s) on the life of a Participant shall be paid first from that portion
of the Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution Account which
represents Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions made by the Participant prior
to January 1, 1987, provided that the Plan, as of May 5, 1986, permitted
withdrawal of Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions before separation from
Service. Amounts used to pay premiums on, or purchase, any insurance
contract(s) on the life of a Participant which exceed that portion of the
Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution Account described in the
preceding sentence shall be paid first from the portion of the Participant's
Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution Account which represents the remaining
Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions made by the





                                      106
<PAGE>   129
Participant and then, except as provided in paragraph (a) above, from such
other of the Participant's Accounts as the Administrator directs pursuant to
the Participant's election.

         (g) Except as provided in Section 22.01, any insurance contract(s) on
the life of a Participant will be converted to cash or distributed to the
Participant as of the Participant's Annuity Starting Date.

         (h) Any dividends or credits earned on insurance contract(s) will be
allocated to the Account of the Participant for whose benefit the contract is
held, provided, however, that if an insurance contract was purchased with a
Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions, such dividends or credits
which are attributable to the Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary
Contributions shall, to the extent treated as a return of premium, be credited
to the Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution Account.

    If a Participant's Account is invested in one or more insurance contracts,
the Trustee is required to pay over all proceeds of the contract(s) to the
Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this
Plan and under no circumstances shall the Trust retain any contract proceeds.

    13.06    Appointment of Investment Manager. Subject to Sections 13.01 and
13.03 above, the Administrator may designate, and the Employer may contract
with, Scudder, Stevens & Clark Inc., or its successor or any affiliate, or any
other qualified entity to act as investment manager (within the meaning of the
Act), and may at any time revoke such designation. If an investment manager is
so designated, the Trustee shall follow all investment directions given by the
investment manager with respect to the retention, investment and reinvestment
of the Plan assets to the extent they are under the control of such investment





                                      107
<PAGE>   130
manager. If permitted by the Trustee, the investment manager may issue orders
for the purchase and sale of securities, including orders through any affiliate
of such investment manager. Such an investment manager is specifically allowed
to direct or make investments in any Designated Investment and any other
investments to which the Distributor has given its consent. The Trustee shall
not be liable for following any direction given by, or any actions of, an
investment manager so appointed.

    13.07    Trustee: Number, Qualifications and Majority Action.

         (a) The Employer shall designate one or more Trustees for each Trust.
Any natural person and any corporation having power under applicable law to act
as a trustee of a pension or profit sharing plan may be a Trustee. No person
shall be disqualified from being a Trustee by being employed by the Employer,
by being the Administrator, by being a trustee under any other qualified
retirement plan of the Employer or by being a Participant in this Plan or such
other qualified plan.

         (b) A Trustee holding office as sole Trustee with respect to a Trust
hereunder shall have all the powers and duties herein given to the Trustees
hereunder. When the number of Trustees with respect to a Trust is three, any
two of them may act, but the third Trustee shall be promptly informed of the
action. When there are two or more Trustees with respect to a Trust, they may,
by written instrument communicated to the Employer and the Administrator,
allocate among themselves the powers and duties herein given to the Trustee
hereunder. If such an allocation is made, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, no Trustee shall be liable either individually or as a trustee for loss to
the Plan from the acts or omissions of another Trustee with respect to duties
allocated to such other Trustee.





                                      108
<PAGE>   131
    13.08    Change of Trustee.

         (a) Any Trustee may resign as Trustee upon notice in writing to the
Employer, and the Employer may remove any Trustee upon notice in writing to
each Trustee. The removal of a Trustee shall be effective immediately, except
that a corporation serving as a Trustee shall be entitled to 60 days' notice
which it may waive, and the resignation of a Trustee shall be effective
immediately, provided that, if the Trustee is the sole Trustee, neither a
removal nor a resignation of a Trustee shall be effective until a successor
Trustee has been appointed and has accepted the appointment. If within 60 days
of the delivery of the written resignation or removal of a sole Trustee,
another Trustee shall not have been appointed and have accepted, the resigning
or removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee or may terminate the Plan pursuant to
Section XVIII of the Prototype Plan. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
acts and omissions of any successor Trustee.

         (b) At any time when the number of Trustees is one or two the Employer
may but need not appoint, respectively two or one additional Trustees. Such an
appointment and the acceptance thereof shall be in writing, and shall take
effect upon the delivery of written notice thereof to all the Trustees and the
Administrator and such acceptance by the appointed Trustee, provided that if a
corporation is a Trustee then in the absence of its consent, such an
appointment of an additional or successor Trustee shall not become effective
until 60 days after its receipt of notice.

         (c) Although any Employer adopting the Plan may choose any Trustee who
is willing to accept the Trust, the Distributor or its successor may make or
may have made





                                      109
<PAGE>   132
tentative standard arrangements with any bank or trust company with the
expectation it will be used as the Trustee by a substantial group of Employers.
It is also contemplated that more favorable results can be obtained with a
substantial volume of business, and that it may become advisable to remove such
bank or trust company as Trustee and substitute another Trustee. Therefore,
anything in the prior two subsections notwithstanding, each Employer adopting
this Plan hereby agrees that the Distributor may, upon a date specified in a
notice of at least 30 days to the affected Employer and in the absence of
written objection by the Employer received by the Distributor before such date,
(i) remove any Trustee and in that case, or if such a Trustee has resigned as
to a group of Employers, (ii) appoint a successor Trustee, provided such action
is taken with respect to all Employers similarly circumstanced of which the
Distributor has knowledge, and provided such notice is given in writing and
mailed postage prepaid to the Employer at the latest address furnished to the
Distributor directly or supplied to it by such Trustee which is to be
succeeded. If within 60 days after a Trustee's resignation or removal pursuant
to this subsection (i), the Distributor has not appointed a successor which has
accepted such appointment the resigning or removed Trustee may petition an
appropriate court for the appointment of its successor. The resigning or
removed Trustee shall not be liable for the acts and omissions of such
successor.

         (d) Successor Trustees qualifying under this Section shall have all
rights and powers and all the duties and obligations of original Trustees.

    13.09    Valuation. Annually, on the Valuation Date, or more frequently in
the discretion of the Trustee, the assets of each Trust shall be valued at fair
market value and the accounts of the Trust shall be proportionately adjusted to
reflect income, gains, losses or







                                      110
<PAGE>   133
expenses, if the system of accounting does not directly accomplish all such
adjustments. Each account shall share in income gains, losses, or expenses
connected with an asset in which it is invested according to the proportion
which the account's investment in the asset bears to the total amount of the
Trust Fund invested in the asset. Any dividends or credits earned on insurance
contracts shall be allocated to the specific account of the Participant from
which the funds originated for investment in the contract.

    The Trust Fund shall be administered separately from, and shall not include
any assets being administered under, any other plan of an Employer. Interim
valuations, if any, shall be applied uniformly and in a nondiscriminatory
manner for all Employees.

    13.10    Registration. Any assets in the Trust Fund may be registered in
the name of the Trustee or any nominee designated by the Trustee.

    13.11    Certifications and Instructions.

         (a) Any pertinent vote or resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Employer (if it is a corporation) shall be certified to the Trustee over the
signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Employer and under
its corporate seal. The Employer shall promptly furnish to the Trustee
appropriate certification evidencing the appointment and termination of the
individual or individuals serving as Administrator under Section 14.01 of the
Plan.

         (b) The Administrator shall furnish to the Trustee appropriate
certification of the individual or individuals authorized to give notice on
behalf of the Administrator and providing specimens of their signatures. All
requests, directions, requisitions for money and instructions by the
Administrator to the Trustee shall be in writing and signed.  There may be





                                      111
<PAGE>   134
standing requests, directions, requisitions or instructions to the extent
acceptable to the Trustee.

    13.12    Accounts and Approval.

         (a) The Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed accounts of all
investments, receipts and disbursements and other transactions, hereunder, and
all books and records relating thereto shall be open at all reasonable times to
inspection and audit by any person or persons designated by the Administrator
or by the Employer.

         (b) Within 90 days following the close of each Plan Year the Trustee
may, and upon the request of the Employer or the Administrator shall, file with
the Administrator and the Employer a written report setting forth all
securities or other investments (including insurance contracts) purchased and
sold, all receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it during
the period since the date covered by the next prior report, and showing the
securities and other property held at the end of such period, and such other
information about the Trust Fund as the Administrator shall request. Unless the
Employer or Administrator, within 90 days from the date of mailing of such
report, objects to the contents of such report, the report shall be deemed
approved. Any such objections shall set forth the specific grounds on which
they are based.

    13.13    Taxes. The Trustee may assume that any taxes assessed on or in
respect of the Trust Fund are lawfully assessed unless the Administrator shall
in writing advise the Trustee that in the opinion of counsel for the Employer
such taxes are not lawfully assessed. In the event that the Administrator shall
so advise the Trustee, the Trustee, if so requested by the Administrator and
suitable provision for their indemnity having been made, shall contest the





                                      112
<PAGE>   135
validity of such taxes in any manner deemed appropriate by the Administrator or
counsel for the Employer. The word "taxes" in this Article shall be deemed to
include any interest or penalties that may be levied or imposed in respect to
any taxes assessed. Any taxes, including transfer taxes incurred in connection
with the investment or reinvestment of the assets of the Trust Fund that may be
levied or assessed in respect to such assets shall, if allocable to the
Accounts of specific Participants, be charged to such Accounts, and if not so
allocable, they shall be equitably apportioned among all such Participants'
Accounts.

    13.14    Employment of Counsel. The Trustee may employ legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Employer) and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting, upon such counsel's advice in respect to any legal
questions.

    13.15    Compensation of Trustee. An individual Trustee who is an Employee
of the Employer shall not be compensated for services as Trustee. A
corporation, or an individual who is not an Employee of the Employer, serving
as a Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for services; such
compensation shall be paid in accordance with Article XV.

    13.16    Limitation of Trustee's Liability.

         (a) The Trustee shall have no duty to take any action other than as
herein specified, unless the Administrator shall furnish it with instructions
in proper form and such instructions shall have been specifically agreed to by
it, or to defend or engage in any suit unless it shall have first agreed in
writing to do so and shall have been fully indemnified to its satisfaction.

         (b) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in
acting in good faith upon any written representation or order from the
Administrator or any other





                                      113
<PAGE>   136
notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument or paper believed by
the Trustee to be genuine and properly executed, or any instrument or paper if
the Trustee believes the signature thereon to be genuine.

         (c) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any reasonable
cash balances maintained in the Trust.

         (d) The Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may, in its discretion,
receive a contribution directly from a Participant.

         (e) The Employer shall indemnify and save harmless the Trustee from
and against any and all liability to which the Trustee may be subjected by
reason of any act, conduct or failure to act (except willful misconduct or
gross negligence) in its capacity as Trustee, including all expenses reasonably
incurred in its defense.

    13.17    Successor Trustee. Any corporation into which a corporation acting
as a Trustee hereunder may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, reorganization or consolidation to
which such Trustee may be a party, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, without the necessity of any appointment or other action, provided
the Trustee does not resign and is not removed.

    13.18    Enforcement of Provisions. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Employer and the Administrator shall have the exclusive right to
enforce any and all provisions of this Agreement on behalf of all Employees or
former Employees of the Employer or their Beneficiaries or other persons having
or claiming to have an interest in the Trust Fund or under the Plan. In any
action or proceeding affecting the Trust Fund or any property constituting a
part or all thereof, or the administration thereof or for instructions to





                                      114
<PAGE>   137
the Trustee, the Employer, the Administrator and the Trustee shall be the only
necessary parties and shall be solely entitled to any notice of process in
connection therewith; any judgment that may be entered in such action or
proceeding shall be binding and conclusive on all persons having or claiming to
have any interest in the Trust Fund or under the Plan.

    13.19    Voting. The Trustee shall deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, to the Administrator, or to such individuals designated by the
Administrator, all notices, prospectuses, financial statements, proxies and
proxy soliciting materials received by the Trustee relating to securities held
by the Trust. The Administrator shall deliver these to the individuals entitled
to make investment decisions pursuant to Section 13.02 hereof (if the Adoption
Agreement so provides this may be the Participant or a Beneficiary) to the
extent that the Administrator has decided to pass-through voting to such
individuals. Each individual, including the Administrator, with voting rights,
is hereby designated a "named fiduciary," within the meaning of Section
402(a)(2) and 403(a)(1) of the Act, with respect to the Accounts over which he
or she may exercise voting rights. With respect to proxies, proxy solicitation
materials,and other voting matters, the Trustee shall vote securities held by
the Trust in accordance with the written instructions (as expressed in a
properly completed and executed proxy) of the Administrator or of the
individuals entitled to make investment decisions pursuant to Section 13.02 as
expressed in a properly completed and executed proxy. Such instructions shall
be delivered to the Trustee by the Administrator, or such person designated by
the Administrator.  With respect to securities issued by the Employer, voting
instructions shall be delivered directly to the Trustee by the individuals
entitled to make investment decisions' with respect to such securities and the
Trustee shall maintain the





                                      115
<PAGE>   138
confidentiality, and shall not disclose the contents, of any such vote except
as otherwise required by law or a court of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee
and the Administrator may establish a procedure whereby any votes relating to
securities issued by the Employer are delivered by the Administrator to the
Trustee provided that the contents of such votes are not made known to the
Administrator. If, however, the Trustee has not received instructions with
respect to how to vote given securities at least five full business days (or
such shorter period as the Trustee, in its discretion, may determine) prior to
the meeting at which such securities are to be voted, the Trustee shall not
vote such securities unless otherwise required by law.

    13.20    Applicability to Loan Trustee. Where appropriate, the foregoing
provisions of this Article shall apply to the Loan Trustee on the same basis as
if the Loan Trustee were the Trustee.

    13.21    Applicability to Other Trust. The provisions of this Article XIII
shall apply with respect to a separate trust which is created hereby but shall
not apply to a separate trust created pursuant to a separate trust agreement.

                          ARTICLE XIV. ADMINISTRATION

    14.01    Appointment of Administrator. From time to time, the Employer may,
by identifying such person(s) in writing to both the Trustee and the
Participants, appoint one or more persons as Administrator (hereinafter
referred to in the singular). Such Administrator shall have all power and
authority necessary to carry out the terms of the Plan. A person appointed as
Administrator may also serve in any other fiduciary capacity, including that of
Trustee, with respect to the Plan. The Administrator may resign upon 15 days'
advance





                                      116
<PAGE>   139
written notice to the Employer, and the Employer may at any time revoke the
appointment of the Administrator with or without cause. The Employer shall
exercise the power and fulfill the duties of the Administrator if at any time
an Administrator has not been properly appointed in accordance with this
Section or the position is otherwise vacant.

    14.02    Named Fiduciaries. The "Named Fiduciaries" within the meaning of
the Act shall be the Administrator, each Trustee and each Participant and
Beneficiary with voting rights and/or investment rights.

    14.03    Allocation of Responsibilities. Responsibilities under the Plan
shall be allocated among the Trustee, the Administrator and the Employer as
follows:

         (a) Trustee: The Trustee shall have exclusive responsibility to hold,
manage and invest, pursuant to instructions communicated to it in accordance
with Section 13.02 above, the funds received by it subject to the powers
granted to it under Article XIII hereof. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, to the extent that loans are made to Participants in accordance with
Article XII hereof, the Trustee shall not be responsible for management of the
portion of Trust assets subject to such loans and the Loan Trustee shall be
responsible for administering such Trust assets in accordance with provisions
of Article XII.

         (b) The Administrator: The Administrator shall have the responsibility
and authority to control the operation and administration of the Plan in
accordance with its terms including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (i) any investment decisions assigned to it under the Adoption
Agreement or the Plan or transmission to the Trustee of any Participant
investment decision under Section 13.02; (ii) interpretation of the Plan,
conclusive determination of all questions of eligibility, status, benefits and
rights under the Plan and





                                      117
<PAGE>   140
certification to the Trustee of all benefit payments under the Plan; (iii)
hiring of persons to provide necessary services to the Plan not provided by
Employees; (iv) preparation and filing of all statements, returns and reports
required to be filed by the Plan with any agency of government; (v) compliance
with all disclosure requirements of all state or federal law; (vi) maintenance
and retention of all Plan records as required by law, except those required to
be maintained by the Trustee; and (vii) all functions otherwise assigned to it
under the terms of the Plan.

         (c) Employer: The Employer shall be responsible for the design of the
Plan, as adopted or amended, the designation of the Administrator and each
Trustee (and, if appropriate, the Loan Trustee) as provided in the Plan, the
delivery to the Administrator and the Trustee of employee information necessary
for operation of the Plan (including, without limitation, dates of birth, hire,
and death; compensation amounts; and dates of death of beneficiaries), the
timely making of the Employer Contributions pursuant to Articles IV and VII,
and the exercise of all functions provided in or necessary to the Plan except
those assigned in the Plan to other persons.

         (d) This Section is intended to allocate individual responsibility for
the prudent execution of the functions assigned to each of the Trustees, the
Loan Trustee, the Administrator and the Employer and none of such
responsibilities or any other responsibility shall be shared among them unless
specifically provided in the Plan. Whenever one such person is required by the
Plan to follow the directions of another, the two shall not be deemed to share
responsibility, but the person who gives the direction shall be responsible for
giving it





                                      118
<PAGE>   141
and the responsibility of the person receiving the direction shall be to follow
it insofar as it is on its face proper under applicable law.

    14.04    More Than One Administrator. If more than one individual is
appointed as Administrator, such individuals shall either exercise the duties
of the Administrator in concert, acting by a majority vote or allocate such
duties among themselves by written agreement delivered to the Employer and the
Trustee. In such a case, the Trustee may rely upon the instruction of any one
of the individuals appointed as Administrator regardless of the allocation of
duties among them.

    14.05    No Compensation. The Administrator shall not be entitled to
receive any compensation from the funds held under the Plan for its services in
that capacity unless so determined by the Employer or required by law.

    14.06    Record of Acts. The Administrator shall keep a record of all its
proceedings, acts and decisions, and all such records and all instruments
pertaining to Plan administration shall be subject to inspection by the
Employer at any time. The Employer shall supply, and the Administrator may rely
on the accuracy of, all Employee data and other information needed to
administer the Plan.

    14.07    Bond. The Administrator shall be required to give bond for the
faithful performance of its duties to the extent, if any, required by the Act,
the expense to be borne by the Employer.

    14.08    Agent for Service of Legal Process. The Administrator shall be
agent for service of legal process on the Plan.





                                      119
<PAGE>   142
    14.09    Rules. The Administrator may adopt or amend and shall publish to
the Employees such rules and forms for the administration of the Plan, and may
employ or retain such attorneys, accountants, physicians, investment advisors,
consultants and other persons to assist in the administration of the Plan as it
deems necessary or advisable.

    14.10    Delegation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Administrator may delegate all or part of its responsibilities hereunder and at
any time revoke such delegation, by written statement communicated to the
delegate and the Employer. The Trustee may, but need not, act on the
instructions of such a delegate. The Administrator shall annually review the
performance of all such delegates.

    14.11    Claims Procedure. It is anticipated that the Administrator will
administer the Plan to provide Plan benefits without waiting for them to be
claimed, but the following procedure is established to provide additional
protection to govern unless and until a different procedure is established by
the Administrator and published to the Participants and Beneficiaries.

         (a) Manner of Making Claim. A claim for benefits by a Participant or
Beneficiary to be effective under this procedure must be made to the
Administrator and must be in writing unless the Administrator formally or by
course of conduct waives such requirements.

         (b) Notice of Reason for Denial. If an effective claim is wholly or
partially denied, the Administrator shall furnish such Participant or
Beneficiary with written notice of the denial within 60 days after the original
claim was filed. This notice of denial shall set forth in a manner calculated
to be understood by the claimant (i) the reason or reasons for





                                      120
<PAGE>   143
denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent plan provisions on which the
denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional information needed to
perfect the claim and an explanation of why such information is necessary, and
(iv) an explanation of the Plan's claims procedure.

         (c) The Participant or Beneficiary shall have 60 days from receipt of
the denial notice in which to make written application for review by the
Administrator. The Participant or Beneficiary may request that the review be in
the nature of a hearing. The Participant or Beneficiary shall have the rights
(i) to have representation, (ii) to review pertinent documents, and (iii) to
submit comments in writing.

         (d) The Administrator shall issue a decision on such review within 60
days after receipt of an application for review, except that such period may be
extended for a period of time not to exceed an additional 60 days if the
Administrator determines that special circumstances (such as the need to hold a
hearing) requires such extension. The decision on review shall be in writing
and shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant, and specific references to the
pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

         (e) The Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator,
if the Administrator is not the Employer, and any employees of the Employer who
performs the function of the Administrator for the Employer, if the
Administrator is the Employer, (collectively, an "Indemnitee"), from any and
all claims, loss, damages, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees approved
by the Employer) and liability (including any reasonable amounts paid in
settlement with the Employer's approval), arising from any act or omission of





                                      121
<PAGE>   144
such Indemnitee, except when the same is judicially determined to be due to the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.

                         ARTICLE XV. FEES AND EXPENSES

    All reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrator or Trustee incurred
in the performance of their duties hereunder or under the Trust may be paid by
the Employer; and to the extent not so paid by the Employer, said fees and
expenses shall be deemed to be an expense of the Trust and shall be charged
against the assets of the Trust, including any forfeitures that have not been
reallocated or applied to reduce Employer Contributions. In addition, if the
Plan permits Participant-directed investment of Accounts, expenses that are
allocable to the Accounts of specific Participants shall be charged against the
respective Participants' Accounts in accordance with procedures adopted by the
Administrator from time to time.

                   ARTICLE XVI. BENEFIT RECIPIENT INCOMPETENT
                      OR DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN OR LOCATE

    16.01    Incompetency. If any portion of the Trust Fund becomes
distributable to a minor or to a Participant or Beneficiary who, as determined
in the sole discretion of the Administrator, is physically or mentally
incapable of handling his or her financial affairs, the Administrator may
direct the Trustee to make such distribution either to the legal representative
or custodian of the incompetent or to apply such distribution directly for the





                                      122
<PAGE>   145
incompetent's support and maintenance. Payments which are made in good faith
shall completely discharge the Employer, Administrator and Trustee from
liability therefor.

    16.02    Difficulty to Ascertain or Locate. If it is impossible or
difficult to ascertain or locate the person who is entitled to receive any
benefit under the Plan, the Administrator in its discretion may direct that
such benefit (a) be retained in the Trust, (b)be paid to a court pending
judicial determination of the right thereto, or (c) be forfeited and
reallocated pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.02(a)(i) or (ii) above, as
the case may be, provided that as a result the Employer shall incur an
obligation to restore the individual's Account balance or otherwise pay the
individual his or her benefit if the individual is subsequently ascertained or
located.

                    ARTICLE XVII. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

    Each Participant and Beneficiary may submit a properly executed Designation
of Beneficiary to the person designated under this Article XVII to keep such
records. In order to be effective, such designation must have been properly
executed and submitted to the appropriate person before the death of the
Participant or Beneficiary, as the case may be; and, for a Participant who is
survived by his or her Spouse, unless the Participant leaves 100% of his or her
benefit to such Spouse, must be accompanied, or preceded, by the consent of
such Spouse. Such consent of the Spouse must (a) be in writing; (b)acknowledge
that the effect of such consent is that the Spouse may receive no benefits
under the Plan; (y) be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public;
and (c) be either (i) a limited consent to the payment of death benefits to a
specific person or persons or (ii) expressly permit the Participant to





                                      123
<PAGE>   146
designate another person or other persons without obtaining further consent of
the Spouse. The last effective Designation accepted by the appropriate person
shall be controlling, and whether or not fully dispositive of the Participant's
Account, thereupon shall revoke all Designations previously submitted by the
Participant or Beneficiary, as the case may be. If a Participant's
Beneficiary(ies) predeceases the Participant, the remaining living
Beneficiary(ies) shall receive their proportionate share of the Participant's
Account as if such deceased Beneficiary(ies) had never been designated. Similar
rules shall apply with respect to contingent Beneficiaries. Each such executed
Designation is hereby specifically incorporated herein by reference and shall
be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the
Trustee has its principal place of business. The Administrator shall be the
person responsible for accepting and safekeeping Designation of Beneficiary
Forms unless the Trustee agrees in writing to accept and safekeep such forms.

             ARTICLE XVIII. SPENDTHRIFT PROVISION AND DISTRIBUTIONS
                PURSUANT TO QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS

    18.01    General Spendthrift Rule. No interest of any Participant or
Beneficiary shall be assigned, anticipated or alienated in any manner nor shall
it be subject to attachment, to bankruptcy proceedings or to any other legal
process or to the interference or control of creditors or others, except (a) to
the extent that Participants may secure loans from the Trust with their
Accounts pursuant to Article XII hereof and (b) pursuant to Section 18.02
hereof.

    18.02    Account Division and Distribution Pursuant to Qualified Domestic
Relations Orders. A Participant's vested Account may be assigned pursuant to a
qualified domestic





                                      124
<PAGE>   147
relations order as defined in Code Section 414(p). If, and to the extent that,
any portion of a Participant's vested Account is payable to an alternate payee
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Sections
401(a)(13)(B) and 414(p) of the Code, the provisions of said order shall govern
the payment thereof. An order shall not fail to constitute a qualified domestic
relations order within the meaning of Sections 401(a)(13)(B) and 414(p) of the
Code if the order provides for a payment to be made to an alternate payee prior
to the time the Participant would be entitled to receive a benefit payment
hereunder. The Administrator shall be responsible for determining whether an
order constitutes a qualified domestic relations order.

                    ARTICLE XIX. NECESSITY OF QUALIFICATION

    This Plan is established with the intent that it shall qualify under Code
Section 401(a) as that Section exists at the time the Plan is established. If
the Plan as adopted by the Employer fails to attain such qualification, the
Plan will no longer participate in the relevant sponsor's prototype 401(k) plan
and will be considered an individually designed plan. If the Plan as adopted by
the Employer fails to attain or retain such qualification, the Employer shall
promptly either amend the Plan under Code Section 401(b) so that it does
qualify, or direct the Trustee to terminate the Trust, and distribute all the
assets of the Trust equitably among the contributors thereto in proportion to
their contributions, and the Plan and Trust shall be considered to be rescinded
and of no force and effect.





                                      125
<PAGE>   148
                     ARTICLE XX. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

    20.01    Amendment or Termination by the Employer. The Employer by action
of the Board of Directors, other governing board, general partner or sole
proprietor, as the case may be, may at any time, and from time to time amend
this Prototype Plan and the Adoption Agreement (including a change in any
election it has made in the Adoption Agreement), or suspend or terminate this
Plan by giving written notice to the Trustee, but the Trust may not thereby be
diverted from the exclusive benefit of the Participants, their Beneficiaries,
survivors or estates, or the administrative expenses of the Plan, nor revert to
the Employer, nor may an allocation or contribution theretofore made be changed
thereby, nor may any amendment directly or indirectly deprive a Participant of
such Participant's nonforfeitable rights to benefits accrued to the date of the
amendment.

    No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it would
have the effect of decreasing a Participant's Account balance or eliminating an
optional form of distribution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a
Participant's Account balance may be reduced to the extent permitted under Code
Section 412(c)(8). Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended,
in the case of an Employee who is a Participant as of the later of the date
such amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective, the nonforfeitable
percentage (determined as of such date) of such Employee's right to his
Employer-derived Account balance will not be less than his percentage computed
under the Plan without regard to such amendment.

    The Employer may (a) change the choice of options in the Adoption
Agreement, (b) add overriding language in the Adoption Agreement when such
language is necessary to satisfy





                                      126
<PAGE>   149
the requirements of Code Section 415 or to avoid duplication of minimum
benefits or accruals under Code Section 416 because of the required
aggregation of multiple plans, or (c) adopt a model amendment published by the
Internal Revenue Service which specifically provides that the adoption of such
a model amendment will not cause the Plan to be treated as an individually
designed plan. Any other amendment by the Employer will constitute a
substitution by the Employer of an individually designed plan for the sponsor's
prototype plan. After such an amendment, the Plan shall no longer participate
in the sponsor's prototype plan and the general amendment procedure of the
Internal Revenue Service governing individually designed plans will be
applicable.

    If an amendment changing the vesting schedule is executed (including
execution of this Adoption Agreement as an amendment to an existing plan),
Participants with three or more Vesting Years (five or more Vesting Years for
Participants who have not been credited with an Hour of Service in a Plan Year
beginning after December 31, 1988) before the expiration of the election period
described in the next sentence shall have the right to elect the vesting
schedule in effect on the day before the election period. The election period
shall commence on the date the amendment is adopted and end on the latest of
(x) 60 days after the amendment is adopted, (y) 60 days after the Effective
Date, or (z) 60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the
amendment by the Administrator. Failure to so elect shall be treated as a
rejection and such election or rejection shall be final.

    Nothing contained herein shall constitute an agreement or representation by
any Sponsor or the Distributor that it will continue to maintain its
sponsorship of the Plan indefinitely.





                                      127
<PAGE>   150
    20.02    Delegation. The Employer hereby delegates to the Sponsor the
authority to amend so much of the Adoption Agreement and this Prototype 401(k)
Plan as is in prototype form and, to the extent to which the Employer could
effect such amendment, the Employer shall be deemed to have consented to any
amendment so made. When an election within the prototype form has been made by
the Employer, it shall be deemed to continue after amendment of the prototype
form unless and until the Employer expressly further amends the election,
notwithstanding that the provision for the election in the amended prototype
form is in a different form or place; provided, however, that if the amended
form inadvertently fails to provide means to duplicate exactly the earlier
election, such earlier election shall continue until such further amendment.
The immediately preceding sentence is subject to the qualification that each
Employer hereby delegates to the Sponsor, in the event of such an amendment of
the prototype form, authority to determine conclusively that such a
continuation of an earlier election by the Employer is not advisable and to
make the election for the Employer in the amended prototype form which in the
judgment of the Sponsor most nearly corresponds with the election made by the
Employer before the amendment of the prototype form, provided the following
procedure is followed: the election for the Employer may be made with respect
to any specified Employers as to whom it may be made applicable singly, or such
election may be made with respect to all Employers as to whom it may be made
applicable as a group; and the election shall be made as of an effective date
which has been specified in a notice mailed or delivered, at the last
address(es) of the Employer(s) on the records of the Distributor, to the
Employer(s) at least 20 days before the end of the remedial amendment period.
Such notice may be mailed to Employers to whom it cannot be applicable by
reason of a previous election





                                      128
<PAGE>   151
made by the Employer or otherwise, but it shall be effective only as to those
Employers who have received the notice and have not themselves made a new
election with respect to that item since the amendment of the prototype form
and previous to the effective date of such election by the Sponsor. In the case
of a mass submitter plan, the Sponsor delegates its authority to make
elections, or to make amendments, to the mass submitter who shall make such
elections or amendments on behalf of the Sponsor and the Sponsor shall be
deemed to have consented to any such election or amendment so made. The
foregoing delegations of authority to make elections, or to make amendments,
shall not impose any duty on the Sponsor or, if applicable, the mass submitter
to make a given election or amendment and shall not affect the interpretation
of the Plan if any so delegated authority is not used.

    20.03    Distribution of Accounts Upon Termination. Upon termination or
partial termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance of Employer
Contributions under it, the rights of all Participants (or, in the case of a
partial termination, the Participants affected thereby) to amounts theretofore
credited to their Accounts under the Plan shall be fully vested and
nonforfeitable. Upon any such termination or discontinuance, the Administrator
shall determine whether to pay the interests of Participants, and Beneficiaries
immediately, to retain such interest in the Trust and pay them in the future
according to Articles IX and X (or Article XXIV, if applicable) or to use what
other methods the Administrator deems advisable in order to furnish whatever
benefits the Trust will provide; provided any such distributions pursuant to
this Section shall comply with the requirements of Articles IX or X (or Article
XXIV, if applicable) hereof.





                                      129
<PAGE>   152
                             ARTICLE XXI. TRANSFERS

    Nothing contained herein shall prevent the merger or consolidation of the
Plan with, or transfer of assets or liabilities of the Plan to, another plan
meeting the requirements of Code Section 401(a) or the transfer to the Plan of
assets or liabilities of another such plan so qualified under the Code. Any
such merger, consolidation or transfer shall be accompanied by the transfer of
such existing records and information as may be necessary to properly allocate
such assets among Participants, including any tax or other information
necessary for the Participants or persons administering the plan which is
receiving the assets. The terms of such merger, consolidation or transfer must
be such that if this Plan is then terminated, the requirements of Section 20.01
hereof would be satisfied and each Participant would receive a benefit
immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer equal to or greater
than the benefit he or she would have received if the Plan had terminated
immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer. If this Plan is a
transferee plan with respect to all or a portion of a Participant's Account,
the optional forms of distribution described in Article X shall include any
optional form of distribution which the Participant could have elected under
the transferor plan and which would otherwise comply with the provisions of
this Plan.

                    ARTICLE XXII. OWNER-EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS

    22.01    Purpose of Section. This Section is intended to insure that the
Plan complies with Code Section 401(d). Any ambiguity herein will be construed
to that end, and this Article will override any other provision of the Plan
with which it may be inconsistent.





                                      130
<PAGE>   153
     22.02    Control. For purposes of this Article, "Control" means the
ownership directly or indirectly of the entire interest in an unincorporated
trade or business or more than 50% of either the capital interest or the profits
interest in a partnership. For the purposes of applying the preceding sentence,
an Owner-Employee, or two or more Owner-Employees shall be treated as owning any
interest in a partnership which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a
partnership which such Owner-Employee, or such two or more Owner-Employees, are
considered to Control.

    22.03    Limitations. No benefits shall be provided to an Owner-Employee
under this Plan unless:

         (a) if an Owner-Employee or group of Owner-Employees Controls the
trade or business covered by this Plan and also Control as an Owner-Employee or
Owner-Employees one or more other trades or businesses, this Plan and the plans
established for such other trades or businesses, when taken together, form a
single plan which satisfies the requirements of Code Sections 401(a) and (d)
with respect to the employees of all the controlled trades or businesses;

         (b) if an Owner-Employee or group of Owner-Employees Controls another
trade or business but does not Control the trade or business covered by this
Plan, the employees of such other trades or businesses are included in a plan
which satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(a) and (d) of the Code and
which provides contributions and benefits for such employees which are not less
favorable than those provided for Owner-Employees under this Plan; and





                                      131
<PAGE>   154
         (c) if an Owner-Employee is covered under the qualified retirement
plans of two or more trades or businesses which he or she does not Control and
the Owner-Employee Controls a trade or business, contributions or benefits for
the employees under the plan of the trade or business which the Owner-Employee
Controls are not less favorable than those provided for the Owner-Employee in
the most favorable qualified retirement plan of the trade(s) or business(es)
which the Owner-Employee does not Control.

                      ARTICLE XXIII. TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

    23.01    Purpose of Section. This Article is intended to insure that the
Plan complies with Code Section 416. If the Plan is or becomes Top-Heavy in any
Plan Year, the provisions of this Section will supersede any conflicting
provision in the Plan.

    23.02    Definitions. The terms used in this Section shall have the
following meanings:

         (a) Key Employee: Any Employee or former Employee (and the
Beneficiaries of such Employee) who at any time during the determination period
was (i) an officer of the Employer having an annual compensation greater than
50% of the amount in effect under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A) for the Plan Year
(subject to the limitation that no more than the lesser of (A) 50 Employees or
the greater of 3 Employees or 10% of the Employees shall be deemed to be
officers), (ii) an owner (or considered an owner under Code Section 318) of 1
of the 10 largest interests in the Employer if both such individual was an
owner of more than a .5% interest in the Employer (aggregated with the Employer
for this purpose are all members of (A) a controlled group of corporations (as
defined in Code Section 414(b) as modified by Code Section 415(h)), (B)
commonly controlled trades or businesses





                                      132
<PAGE>   155
(whether or not incorporated) (as defined in Code Section 414(c) as modified by
Code Section 415(h)), or (C) affiliated service groups (as defined in Code
Section 414(m)) of which the Employer is a part) and such individual's
compensation exceeds the dollar limitation under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A),
(iii) a 5% owner of the Employer, or (iv) a 1-percent owner of the Employer who
has an annual compensation of more than $150,000. The determination period is
the Plan Year containing the Determination Date and the 4 preceding Plan Years.
The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Code
Section 416(i)(1) and the regulations thereunder.

         (b) Top-Heavy Plan. This Plan is Top-Heavy if any of the following
conditions exist:

             (i)    If the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds 60% and this
Plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation
Group of plans.

             (ii)   If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of
plans but not part of a Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top-Heavy Ratio
for the Required Aggregation Group of plans exceeds 60%.

             (iii)  If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group and
part of a Permissive Aggregation Group of plans and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the
Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60%.

         (c) Top-Heavy Ratio.

             (i)    If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution
plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan within the meaning of
Code Section 408(k)) and the Employer has not maintained any defined benefit
plan which during the five-year





                                      133
<PAGE>   156
period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had accrued benefits,
Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan alone or for the Required Aggregation Group or
Permissive Aggregation Group, as appropriate, is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of the account balances under all of the plans as of the
Determination Date(s) (including any part of any account balance distributed in
the five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s)) of all Key Employees
who have received compensation from the Employer (other than benefits under a
qualified retirement plan) at any time during the five-year period ending on
the Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of all
account balances as of the Determination Date(s) (including any part of any
account balance distributed in the five-year period ending on the Determination
Date(s)), of all Participants who have received compensation from the Employer
(other than benefits under a qualified retirement plan) at any time during the
five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s). Both the numerator and
denominator of the fraction shall be computed in accordance with Code Section
416 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, both the
numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio shall be increased to reflect
any contribution which is not actually made as of the Determination Date(s),
but which is required to be taken into account on that date under Code Section
416 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

             (ii)   If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution
plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan within the meaning of
Code Section 408(k)) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more
defined benefit plans which during the five-year period ending on the
Determination Date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for
any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group, as





                                      134
<PAGE>   157
appropriate, is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (A) account
balances under the defined contribution plans as of the Determination Date(s)
(including any part of any account balance distributed in the five-year period
ending on the Determination Date(s)) of all Key Employees who have received
compensation from the Employer (other than benefits under a qualified
retirement plan) at any time during the five-year period ending on the
Determination Date(s) and (B) the present value of accrued benefits under the
defined benefit plans for all Key Employees, who have received compensation
from the Employer (other than benefits under a qualified retirement plan) at any
time during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) and the
denominator of which is the sum of (A) the account balances under the defined
contribution plans as of the Determination Date(s) (including any part of any
account balance distributed in the five-year period ending on the Determination
Date(s)) of all participants who have received compensation from the Employer
(other than benefits under this Plan) at any time during the five-year period
ending on the Determination Date(s) and (B) the present value of accrued
benefits under the benefit plans for all participants who have received
compensation from the Employer (other than benefits under this Plan) at any
time during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s). Both the
numerator and denominator of the fraction shall be computed in accordance with
Code Section 416 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition,
both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio shall be increased
for aggregate distribution(s) of an account balance or an accrued benefit made
during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) and any
contribution to a defined contribution plan not actually made as





                                      135
<PAGE>   158
of the Determination Date(s), but which is required to be taken into account on
that date under Code Section 416 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder.

             (iii)  For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of account
balances and the present value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the
most recent Valuation Date that falls within, or ends with, the 12-month period
ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Code Section 416 and
the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder for the first and second plan
years of a defined benefit plan. The account balances and accrued benefits of a
Participant who has not been credited with at least one Hour of Service at any
time during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date, will be
disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which
distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in
accordance with Code Section 416 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder. Deductible employee contributions under any qualified plan
maintained by the Employer will not be taken into account for purposes of
computing the Top-Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans the value of account
balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the
Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.

    For Plan Years commencing after December 31, 1986 for the purpose of
determining the Top-Heavy Ratio, if any target benefit or defined benefit plan
is included in the Required Aggregation Group, the accrued benefit of an
Employee other than a Key Employee shall be determined under the method that
uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all qualified retirement plans
maintained by the Employer, or if there is no such method, as if such benefit





                                      136
<PAGE>   159
accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the
fractional accrual rate of Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).

         (d) Permissive Aggregation Group. The Required Aggregation Group of
plans plus any other plan or plans of the Employer which, when considered as a
group with the Required Aggregation Group, would continue to satisfy the
requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410.

         (e) Required Aggregation Group. (i) Each qualified plan of the
Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates or participated at any
time during the determination period (regardless of whether the plan has
terminated), and (ii) any other qualified plan of the Employer which enables a
plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or
410.

         (f) Determination Date. For any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan
Year, the Determination Date shall be the last day of the preceding Plan Year.
For the first Plan Year of the Plan, the Determination Date shall be the last
day of that year.

         (g) Valuation Date. Shall be the last day of the Plan Year.

         (h) Present Value. Present Value shall be based only on the interest
rate and the mortality table specified by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement.

    23.03    Minimum Allocation.

         (a) In any Plan Year in which this Plan is Top-Heavy, except as
otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) below, the Employer Contributions
and forfeitures allocated, or during a Plan Year which begins after December
31, 1988, Employer Profit Sharing Contributions and forfeitures allocated to
the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing





                                      137
<PAGE>   160
Contribution Account, on behalf of any Participant who is not a Key Employee
shall not be less than the lesser of 3% of such Participant's Compensation or,
in the case where the Employer has no defined benefit plan which designates this
Plan to satisfy Code Section 401, the largest percentage of Employer
Contributions and forfeitures stated as a percentage of a Key Employee's
Compensation, allocated on behalf of any Key Employee for that Plan Year. The
minimum allocation is determined without regard to any Social Security
contribution by the Employer. Salary Reduction Contributions, Employer Matching
Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions may not be taken into account
to satisfy this minimum allocation. This minimum allocation shall be made even
though, under other provisions of this Plan, the Participant would not otherwise
be entitled to receive an allocation, or would have received a lesser allocation
for the year because (i) the Participant failed to complete the minimum number
of Hours of Service specified in the Adoption Agreement for receiving an
allocation, (ii) the Participant's Compensation was less than a stated amount,
or (iii) the Participant made insufficient mandatory contributions to receive an
Employer Matching Contribution.

         (b) For purposes of computing the minimum allocation, "Compensation"
shall have the same meaning as in Section 5.05(b) hereof.

         (c) The provision in subsection (a) above shall not apply to any
Participant who was not employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan
Year.

         (d) The provision in subsection (a) above shall not apply to any
Participant to the extent the Participant is covered under any other plan or
plans of the Employer, and the





                                      138
<PAGE>   161
Employer has provided in the Adoption Agreement that the minimum allocation or
benefit requirement applicable to Top-Heavy Plans will be met in such other
plan or plans.

    23.04    Nonforfeitability of Minimum Allocation. The minimum allocation
required (to the extent required to be nonforfeitable under Code Section
416(b)) may not be forfeited under Code Section 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D).

    23.05    Limitation on Compensation. For Plan Years beginning after January
1, 1994, only the first $150,000 (or such other amount as may be prescribed by
the Secretary of the Treasury or his or her delegate) of a Participant's
Compensation for the Plan Year shall be taken into account for purposes of
allocating Employer Contributions under this Article XXIII.

    23.06    Minimum Vesting Schedule. Unless the Employer has specified a more
rapid vesting schedule in the Adoption Agreement, for any Plan Year in which
this Plan is Top-Heavy, the following minimum vesting schedule shall apply:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                              Nonforfeitable Percentage of
                              Employer Profit Sharing and
         Vesting Years        Matching Contribution Accounts
         -------------        ------------------------------
             <S>                    <C>
             1                        0%

             2                        20

             3                        40

             4                        60

             5                        80

             6 or more                100
</TABLE>

The minimum vesting schedule applies to all benefits within the meaning of Code
Section 411(a)(7) attributable to Employer Contributions and forfeitures,
including benefits accrued before the effective date of Code Section 416 and
benefits accrued before the Plan became Top-Heavy. Further, no reduction in a
Participant's nonforfeitable percentage may occur in





                                      139
<PAGE>   162
the event the Plan's status as Top-Heavy changes for any Plan Year. If
conversion of the Plan into a Top-Heavy Plan has resulted in a change of the
Plan's vesting schedule to the minimum vesting schedule discussed above, the
change shall be treated as an amendment to the Plan and the election referred
to in Section 20.01 hereof shall apply.

    This Section does not apply to the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution
Account and Employer Matching Contribution Account balances of any Participant
who does not have an Hour of Service after the Plan has initially become
Top-Heavy and such Participant's vested Employer Profit Sharing Contribution
Account and Employer Matching Contribution Account balance will be determined
without regard to this Section.

    23.07    Effect on Code Section 415 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in Article V above, the following provisions apply if the Plan
is Top-Heavy:

         (a) In any Plan Year in which the Top-Heavy Ratio exceeds 90% (and the
Plan therefore becomes super Top-Heavy) the denominators of the Defined Benefit
Fraction (as defined in Section 5.05(c) above) and the Defined Contribution
Fraction (as defined in Section 5.05(d) above) shall be computed using 100% of
the dollar limitation stated therein instead of 125%.

         (b) In any Plan Year in which the Top-Heavy Ratio exceeds 60%, but is
less than 90%, the denominators of the Defined Benefit Fraction (as defined in
Section 5.05(c) above) and the Defined Contribution Fraction (as defined in
Section 5.05(e) above) shall be computed using 100% of the dollar limitation
described therein instead of 125%, unless the Employer has specified in the
Adoption Agreement that the minimum allocation provisions of Section 23.03
above shall be computed using 4% of a Participant's Compensation, in which





                                      140
<PAGE>   163
case the dollar limitations of the Defined Benefit Fraction (as defined in
Section 5.05(c) above) and the Defined Contribution Fraction (as defined in
Section 5.05(e) above) shall continue to be computed using 125% of the dollar
limitations.

    23.08    Termination of Top-Heavy Status. If the Plan ceases to be
Top-Heavy for any Plan Year and if the Employer has not specified otherwise in
the Adoption Agreement, the minimum vesting schedule described in Section 23.06
shall continue to apply. If the Employer has specified in the Adoption
Agreement that, upon conversion of the Plan to non-Top-Heavy status,
Participants' vested benefits are to be determined according to a schedule
other than the minimum vesting schedule described in Section 23.06 hereof, such
change in vesting schedules shall be treated as an amendment, and the election
referred to in Section 20.01 hereof shall apply.

                    ARTICLE XXIV. SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION RULES

    24.01    Special Distribution Rules for Certain Participants. If (a) it is
determined that this Plan is a direct or indirect transferee (where such
transfer occurred after December 31, 1984) of a defined benefit plan, money
purchase pension plan (including a target benefit plan), stock bonus or profit
sharing plan which would otherwise provide a life annuity form of payment with
respect to a Participant (including a plan which was amended into this Plan),
(b) the Plan is amended so as to allow a Participant to elect to receive his or
her benefits in the form of a life annuity and a Participant elects to receive
his or her benefits in such form, (c) the Plan is amended to provide that
absent a Qualified Election of a Participant's surviving Spouse, someone other
than the Participant's surviving Spouse becomes entitled to the





                                      141
<PAGE>   164
Participant's vested Account balance, or (d) if someone other than the
Participant's surviving Spouse is the beneficiary of any insurance purchased
with funds from the Participant's Account, then the provisions of Sections
24.03 to 24.05 below shall apply in lieu of Article IX above and Sections 10.01
and 10.02 above. The Administrator shall specify in writing to the Trustee the
Participants' Accounts (or frozen amounts in such Accounts) to which the
provisions of Section 24.03 to 24.05 shall apply.

    For the purposes of determining whether the provisions of this Article
apply, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on written
instructions, if any, received by the Trustee from the Administrator concurrent
with the transfer. Furthermore, where the transfer is, or was, not accompanied
by written instructions specifying conditions under which specific provisions
of this Article would apply, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively
presume that this Article does not apply.

    24.02    Definitions. For the purpose of this Section, the following terms
shall have the specified meanings:

         (a) "Election Period" shall mean the period which begins on the first
day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35 and which ends on
the date of the Participant's death. If a Participant separates from Service
prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which he or she attains age 35, the
Election Period with respect to his or her Vested Account Balance (as of his or
her date of separation) shall begin on his or her date of separation.

         (b) "Qualified Election" shall mean a valid waiver of a Qualified
Joint and Survivor Annuity or Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, as the
case may be. To be





                                      142
<PAGE>   165
valid, the waiver must be in writing and Participant's Spouse must consent to
it in writing. The Spouse's consent to the waiver (i) must be witnessed by a
Plan representative or notary public and (ii) must be (A) a general consent to
the provision of a form (or forms) of distribution to any alternative person
(or alternative persons); (B)a limited consent to the provision of a specific
form (or specific forms) of distribution to a specific alternate person (or
specific alternate persons); or (iii) a limited consent which is specific with
respect to form or alternative payee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing consent
requirement, if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of a Plan
representative that such written consent may not be obtained because there is
no Spouse or the Spouse cannot be located, a waiver will nonetheless be deemed
a Qualified Election. Any consent necessary for a Qualified Election will be
valid only with respect to the Spouse who signs the consent, or in the event of
a deemed Qualified Election, the Spouse whose consent could not be obtained or
who could not be located. Additionally, a revocation of a prior waiver may be
made by a Participant without the consent of the Spouse at any time before the
commencement of distributions or benefits. The number of revocations shall be
unlimited. Each such revocation shall once again make the Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity or Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity applicable, as the
case may be. No consent obtained pursuant to this Section shall be valid
unless the Participant has received the relevant notice as provided in Sections
24.09 and 24.10.

         (c) "Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity" shall mean, in the case of
a married Participant, an annuity which can be purchased with the
Participant's Vested Account Balance for the life of the Participant with a
survivor annuity for the life of the Spouse equal to 50% of the amount of the
annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and





                                      143
<PAGE>   166
the Spouse. In the case of an unmarried Participant, Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity shall mean an annuity which can be purchased with a
Participant's Vested Account Balance for the life of the Participant.

         (d) "Special Qualified Election" shall mean a valid waiver of a
Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity for the period beginning on the date
of such election and ending on the first day of the Plan Year in which the
Participant attains age 35. To be valid, the waiver must be (i) in writing,
(ii) made prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant
attains age 35, and (iii) preceded by a written explanation to the Participant
of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity in such terms as are comparable
to the explanation required by Section 24.09 and 24.10.  Any election made
pursuant to this Section shall be void as of the first day of the Plan Year in
which the Participant attains age 35 and Qualified Preretirement Survivor
Annuity coverage shall be automatically reinstated as of such date.  Any future
election to waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity must be a
Qualified Election.

         (e) "Vested Account Balance" shall mean the Participant's vested
portion of his or her Account consisting of the sum of the balances of
Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions Account, Deductible
Voluntary Contribution Account, Rollover Account, Salary Reduction
Contributions Account, Deferred Cash Contribution Account and Nonelective
Contribution Account and the vested portions of a Participant's Employer Profit
Sharing Account and Employer Matching Account, reduced by any loans outstanding
on the Annuity Starting Date which are secured by the Participant's Account
balance.





                                      144
<PAGE>   167
    24.03    Distributions upon Death.

         (a) Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity.

             (i)    Unless either paragraph (ii) below applies or the
Participant has selected an optional form of distribution within the Election
Period pursuant to a Qualified Election or a Special Qualified Election, if the
Participant dies before the earlier of (A) his or her Annuity Starting Date or
(B) his or her First Required Distribution Date, then the Trustee shall, upon
the direction of the Administrator, apply 50% of the Participant's Vested
Account Balance toward the purchase of an annuity contract for the life of the
Spouse.

             (ii)   Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (i) above,
prior to the earlier of (A) Spouse's Annuity Starting Date or (B) the Spouse's
First Required Distribution Year, the Spouse of a Participant may deliver a
written election to the Administrator whereby the Spouse elects not to have 50%
of the Participant's Vested Account Balance applied toward the purchase of an
annuity contract for the Spouse's life. Similarly, after the earlier of (A) the
Spouse's Annuity Starting Date or (B) the Spouse's First Required Distribution
Year, the Spouse may deliver a written election to the Administrator whereby
the Spouse elects to terminate distributions pursuant to the Qualified
Preretirement Survivor Annuity and to receive the liquidated value of the
remainder of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity in an alternative
form. In the case where a Spouse makes either of such elections, the portion of
the deceased Participant's Vested Account Balance which would otherwise have
been distributed pursuant to this subsection shall be distributed pursuant to
the provisions of subsection (b) below.





                                      145
<PAGE>   168
             (iii)  In the case of a Spouse of a deceased Participant who is
scheduled to receive a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity and who does
not otherwise elect, at the instruction of the Administrator, the Trustee shall
apply 50% of the deceased Participant's Vested Account Balance toward an
annuity under which payments begin as of the later of the Participant's
separation from Service or (what would have been) the Participant's Normal
Retirement Date. A Spouse of a deceased Participant may elect a commencement
date which is earlier than the date discussed in the previous sentence by
filing a written election to that effect with the Administrator; the Trustee
shall begin to make payments on such earlier date upon instruction from the
Administrator.

         (b) Other Distributions at Death. If the Participant dies after he or
she has begun to receive distributions pursuant to Section 24.04 below, this
subsection shall apply with respect to the Participant's entire Vested Account
Balance. With respect to any Vested Account Balance, or portion thereof, to
which subsection (a) did not apply, the provisions of Article IX shall govern
the distribution thereof.

    24.04    Timing of Annuity Payments and Normal Distributions. Payment
of benefits under the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or distributions
pursuant to the normal form of distribution discussed in Section 24.05(b) below
shall commence within 60 days after the close of the Plan Year during which
occurs the later of (a) the Participant's Normal Retirement Date or (b) the
earlier of (i) the Participant's separation from Service or (ii) the end of his
or her First Required Distribution Year. Payment of benefits may, at the
discretion of the Trustee, be paid directly to the Participant or to the
Administrator, as payee agent. If the Participant's vested Account balance
(exclusive of his or her Rollover Account and Deductible Voluntary





                                      146
<PAGE>   169
Contribution Account) is greater than $3,500, written consent of the
Participant is required for any earlier distribution. A Participant may file an
election with the Administrator to request that distributions commence in
accordance with one of the following options provided that the distribution
shall otherwise comply with the requirements of the Plan (including, but not
limited to, Section 10.03):

         (A) Distributions commencing before the Participant's Normal
Retirement Date if the Participant is Disabled or experiences a separation from
Service.

         (B) Distributions commencing after the normal time of distribution
described above; provided, however, that any such deferred distribution must
commence no later than 60 days after the end of the Participant's First
Required Distribution Year.

    24.05    Form of Distribution and Optional Times for Commencement of
Distribution. The Vested Account Balance of a Participant to which Section
24.03 above does not apply, shall be distributed in a form determined according
to this Section.

         (a) Unless the Participant elects an optional form of distribution
pursuant to a Qualified Election or a Special Qualified Election within 90 days
before his or her Annuity Starting Date, the Participant's Vested Account
Balance shall be paid in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.

         (b) If the Participant was eligible to receive a Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity and he or she elects an optional form of distribution set
forth in Article X pursuant to a Qualified Election or a Special Qualified
Election within 90 days before his or her Annuity Starting Date, then the
Participant's Vested Account Balance will be distributed in the form selected
by the Participant and the provisions of Article X shall apply.





                                      147
<PAGE>   170
         (c) All annuity contracts purchased and distributed by the Plan to a
Participant or a Beneficiary shall be nontransferable when distributed and the
terms of such contracts shall comply with the requirements of the Plan.

    24.06    Elections for Former Participants. An opportunity to make the
applicable distribution elections discussed in this Section must be given to
any living former Participant who had not begun receiving benefits from this
Plan on August 23, 1984 and who would not otherwise receive the benefit forms
prescribed by Section 24.05 above.

         (a) In the case of a former Participant who:

             (i)    would have been entitled to receive his or her benefits in
the form of a life annuity had he or she completed an Hour of Service during a
Plan Year commencing after December 31, 1984,

             (ii)   was credited with Service under this Plan or a predecessor
plan in a plan year beginning after December 31, 1975, and

             (iii)  had at least ten years of Vesting Service when he or she
separated from Service,

the former Participant must be given an opportunity to elect to receive his or
her benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 24.05 above.

         (b) In the case of a former Participant:

             (i)    who was credited with service under this Plan or a
predecessor plan after September 1, 1974;

             (ii)   who was not credited with service under this plan or a
predecessor plan in a plan year beginning after December 31, 1975; and





                                      148
<PAGE>   171
             (iii)  whose benefits would have been payable in the form of a
life annuity, the Participant must be given an opportunity to elect to receive
his or her benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 24.08 below.

         (c) In the case of a former Participant who:

             (i)    satisfies the requirements of subsection (a) but does not
exercise the election made available to him or her in subsection (a), or

             (ii)   satisfies the requirements of subsection (a) other than the
requirement of paragraph (iii), the former Participant shall have his or her
benefits distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 24.08 below.

    24.07    Election Period for Certain Elections by Separated Participants.
The period during which a former Participant entitled to make an election
pursuant to Section 24.06 above shall commence on August 23, 1984 and end on
the earlier of the former Participant's death or the date benefits would
otherwise commence to said former Participant.

    24.08    Benefit Form for Certain Former Participants. The benefits of a
former Participant who is entitled to elect, and has elected to have his or her
benefits distributed pursuant to this Section or a former Participant whose
benefits are required to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of
this Section shall be distributed in accordance with the following provisions:

         (a) If benefits in the form of a life annuity become payable to a
married former Participant who:

             (i)    begins to receive payments under the Plan on or after
Normal Retirement Age; or





                                      149
<PAGE>   172
             (ii)   dies on or after Normal Retirement Age while still working
for the Employer; or

             (iii)  begins to receive payments prior to Normal Retirement Age;
or

             (iv)   separates from Service on or after attaining Normal
Retirement Age (or the qualified early retirement age) after satisfying the
eligibility requirement for the payment of benefits under the Plan and
thereafter dies before beginning to receive such benefits; then such benefits
will be received under this plan in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity, unless the former Participant has elected otherwise during the
election period.  For this purpose, the election period must begin at least six
months before the Participant attains qualified early retirement age and end
not more than 90 days before the commencement of benefit distributions. Any
election hereunder must be in writing and delivered to the Administrator; such
election may be changed by the former Participant at any time by delivery of
written notification of such change and/or a separate written election to the
Administrator.

         (b) A former Participant who is employed at the start of the election
period defined below will be given the opportunity to elect, during such
election period, to have a survivor annuity payable on death. If the former
Participant elects the survivor annuity, payments under such annuity must not
be less than the payments which would have been made to the Spouse under the
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if the former Participant had retired on
the day before his or her death. Any election under this provision must be in
writing and delivered to the Administrator; such election may be changed by the
former Participant at any time by delivery of written notification of such
change and/or a separate





                                      150
<PAGE>   173
written election to the Administrator. The election period begins on the later
of (i) the 90th day before the former Participant attains the qualified early
retirement age or (ii) the date on which participation begins, and ends on the
date the former Participant terminates employment with the Employer.

         (c) The qualified early retirement age referred to in this Section
shall mean the latest of:

             (i)    the earliest date, under the Plan, on which the former
Participant may elect to receive retirement benefits:

             (ii)   the first day of the 120th month beginning before the
former Participant reaches Normal Retirement Age: or

             (iii)  the date the former Participant began participation.

Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive Qualified

         (b) The applicable period during which the Administrator shall provide
the written explanation described in subsection (a) above shall mean, with
respect to a given Participant, whichever of the following periods ends last:

             (i)    The period beginning when the individual becomes a
Participant and ending a reasonable period of time thereafter;

             (ii)   The period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year
during which the Participant attains age 32 and ending on the last day of the
Plan Year during which the Participant attains age 34;

             (iii)  The period that begins with a Participant's separation from
Service when the Participant separates from Service before attaining age 35 and
ends a reasonable period of time after such separation from Service;

             (iv)   The period of time that begins on the effective date of a
Plan amendment which causes the Plan to no longer fully subsidize the cost of
the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity and ends a reasonable period of
time after the effective date of such an amendment; or

             (v)    The period of time which begins when Section 24.03(a) above
first applies in the case of the Participant and ends a reasonable period of
time thereafter.

    For purposes of applying the preceding paragraph, a reasonable period
ending after the enumerated events described in (i), (iv) and (v) is the end of
the two-year period beginning one year prior to the date the applicable event
occurs and ending one year after that date. In the case of a Participant who
separates from service before the Plan Year in which age 35 is attained, notice
shall be provided within the two-year period beginning one year prior to





                                      152
<PAGE>   175
separation and ending one year after separation. If such a Participant
thereafter returns to employment with the Employer, the applicable period for
such Participant shall be redetermined.

the case of a Participant who is scheduled to receive a Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity pursuant to the provisions of Section 24.05 hereof, the

more than 90 days prior to the annuity starting date, a written explanation of:

Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive
distribution in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; (c) the
rights of the Participant's Spouse; and (d) the Participant's right to make,
and the effect of, a revocation of a previous election to waive distribution in
the form of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.  Distribution to a
Participant may commence seven days after the foregoing explanation is given,
provided that:

             (i)    the Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the
Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the
notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and,
if applicable, a particular distribution option), and

             (ii)   the Participant, after receiving the explanation,
affirmatively elects a distribution.

                           ARTICLE XXV. MISCELLANEOUS

    25.01    Misrepresentation. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
an Employee misrepresents his or her age or any other fact, any benefit payable
hereunder shall be the smaller of: (a) the amount that would be payable if no
facts had been misrepresented, or (b) the amount that would be payable if the
facts were as misrepresented.

    25.02    No Enlargement of Plan Rights. It is a condition of the Plan, and
each Participant by participating herein expressly agrees, that he or she shall
look solely to the assets of the Trust for the payment of any benefit under the
Plan.

    25.03    No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Nothing appearing in or done
pursuant to the Plan shall be construed (a) to give any person a legal or
equitable right or interest in the assets of the Trust or distribution
therefrom, nor against the Employer, except as expressly provided herein or (b)
to create or modify any contract of employment between the Employer and any
Employee or obligate the Employer to continue the services of any Employee.

    25.04    Written Orders. In taking or omitting to take any action under
this Plan, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in
acting upon any written orders from or determinations by the Employer or the
Administrator as appropriate, or upon any other notices, requests, consents,
certificates or other instruments or papers believed by it to be genuine and to
have been properly executed, and so long as it acts in good faith, in taking or
omitting to take any other action.

    25.05    No Release from Liability. Nothing in the Plan shall relieve any
person from liability for any responsibility under Part 4 of Title I of the
Act. Subject thereto, neither Trustee, Loan Trustee, Administrator or
Distributor nor any other person shall have any





                                      154
<PAGE>   177
liability under the Plan, except as a result of negligence or wilful
misconduct, and in any event the Employer shall fully indemnify and save
harmless all persons from any liability except that resulting from their
negligence or wilful misconduct.

    25.06    Discretionary Actions. The Administrator shall have discretionary
authority to determine eligibility for benefits and construe the terms of the
Plan. Any discretionary action, including the granting of a loan pursuant to
Article XII hereof, to be taken by the Employer or the Administrator under this
Plan shall be non-discriminatory in nature and all Employees similarly situated
shall be treated in a uniform manner.

    25.07    Headings. Headings herein are primarily for convenience of
reference, and if they conflict with the text, the text shall control.

    25.08    Applicable Law. This Plan and Trust shall, to the extent state law
is applicable, be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of
the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the state in which (a) if the
Trustee is a corporation, the Trustee has its principal place of business;
(b)if the Trustee is an individual, the Trustee resides; or (c) if the Trustee
is individuals, where a Majority of the individuals serving as Trustee reside.
The Employer's execution of the Adoption Agreement may be acknowledged where
required by applicable law.

    25.09    No Reversion. Notwithstanding any other contrary provision of the
Plan, but subject nevertheless to Articles XVIII, no part of the assets in
the Trust shall revert to the Employer, and no part of such assets, other than
that amount required to pay taxes or administrative expenses, shall be used for
any purpose other than exclusive benefit of Employees or their Beneficiaries.
However, the Employer may request a return, and this





                                      155
<PAGE>   178
Section shall not prohibit return, of an amount to the Employer under any of
the following circumstances:

         (a) if the amount was all or part of an Employer Contribution which was
made as a result of a mistake of fact and the amount contributed or, if less,
the then current value is returned to the Employer within one year after the
date on which the mistaken payment of the contribution was made, or

         (b) if the amount was all or part of an Employer Contribution which was
conditioned on deductibility under Code Section 404, such deduction was
disallowed with respect to such amount and this condition is not satisfied and
the amount is returned to the Employer within one year after the date on which
the deduction is disallowed, or

         (c) if the amount was all or part of an Employer Contribution which was
conditioned on the initial qualification of the Plan under Code Section 401(a),
the Plan receives an adverse determination with respect to this qualification
and the amount is returned to the Employer within one year after the date on
which such adverse determination is made, but only if the application for the
determination is made by the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer's
return for the taxable year in which the Plan was adopted, or such later date
as the Secretary of Treasury may prescribe.

    For the purposes of this Section, all Employer Contributions are
conditioned on initial qualification of the Plan under Code Section 401(a),
qualification of the Plan as amended under Code Section 401(a), and
deductibility under Code Section 404.





                                      156
<PAGE>   179
    25.10    Notices. The Employer will provide the notice to other interested
parties contemplated under Code Section 7476 before requesting a determination
by the Secretary of the Treasury or his or her delegate with respect to the
qualification of the Plan.

    25.11    Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this Plan and the terms of any contract or agreement issued thereunder or with
respect thereto, the provisions of the Plan shall control. In particular, the
proceeds of any life insurance contract purchased by the Trustee and not
governed by an effective Designation of Beneficiary form shall be paid to the
Participant's Spouse regardless of who is named as the beneficiary or
beneficiaries in the contract.

    25.12    Prior Benefits. If the optional form of benefits under the Plan
prior to adoption of the Prototype 401(k) Plan (the "Prior Benefits") were
different than the optional form of benefits as provided in the Prototype
401(k) Plan, then the portion of a Participants' Account which are attributable
to participation in the Plan prior to adoption of the Prototype 401(k) Plan
shall be subject to such Prior Benefits and, in the discretion of the
Administrator the remaining portion of the Participants' Account shall also be
subject to such Prior Benefits. The Administrator shall notify the Trustee as
to what portion, if any, of the Participants' Account is subject to such Prior
Benefits and give a full description of such Prior Benefits; and, separate
accounts shall be maintained for each type of contribution (as provided in
Section 7.03) for such portion.
