regard to the occurrence of the events described in paragraphs 4(ii),
(iii) and (iv) above prior to a Change of Control, if such reductions or
actions are proportionate to the reductions or actions applicable to
other employees in similar positions pursuant to a cost savings plan.

No other individual shall be eligible for benefits under the Plan and the
payment of benefits hereunder shall not be affected by the payment of
retirement or other benefits under any other Company plan.

Section IV. Severance Payments.

A Participant who satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section III
hereof shall receive severance payments equal to the sum of the following:

A.     an amount equal to two times (or in the case of the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company three times) the Participants annual base salary in
effect on the date the termination occurs; plus

B.     the amount of the Participants annual incentive plan target award in
effect for the calendar year in which the termination occurs determined without
regard to whether the applicable targets are obtained, multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the year of
termination that the Participant was an employee of the Company, and the
denominator of which is 365; plus

C.     the amount (or in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, two times
the amount) of the Participants annual incentive plan target award in effect
for the year in which the termination occurs determined without regard to
whether the applicable targets are obtained.

Section V. Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

(A)  Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it
shall be determined that any payment, award, benefit or distribution (or any
acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or distribution) by the Company (or
any of its affiliated entities) or any entity which effectuates a Change of
Control (or any of its affiliated entities) to or for the benefit of a
Participant (whether pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional payments required under this
Section V) (the Payments) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), or
any interest or penalties are incurred by a Participant with respect to such
excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are
hereinafter

collectively referred to as the Excise Tax), then the Company shall pay
to such Participant (or to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of
Participant) an additional payment (a Gross-Up Payment) in an amount such
that after payment by such Participant of all taxes (including any Excise Tax)
imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, such Participant retains (or has had paid to
the Internal Revenue Service on his behalf) an amount of the Gross-Up Payment
equal to the sum of (x) the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments and (y) the
product of any deductions disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up
Payment in such Participants adjusted gross income and the highest applicable
marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the
Gross-Up Payment is to be made. For purposes of determining the amount of the
Gross-Up Payment, a Participant shall be deemed (i) to pay federal income taxes
at the highest marginal rates of federal income taxation for the calendar year
in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, (ii) to pay applicable state and
local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar
year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction
in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state
and local taxes and (iii) to have otherwise allowable deductions for federal
income tax purposes at least equal to the Gross-Up Payment.

(B)  Subject to the provisions of Section V(a), all determinations required
to be made under this Section V, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment
is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, and the assumptions to be
utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by the public
accounting firm that is retained by the Company as of the date immediately
prior to the Change of Control (the Accounting Firm) which shall provide
detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Participant within
fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Company or
Participant that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested
by the Company (collectively, the Determination). In the event that the
Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity
or group effecting the Change of Control, the Participant may appoint another
nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations
required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the
Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall
be borne solely by the Company and the Company shall enter into any agreement
reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm in connection with the performance
of the services hereunder. The Gross-Up Payment under this Section V with
respect to any Payments shall be made no later than thirty (30) days following
such Payment. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable
by the

Participant, it shall furnish the Participant with a written opinion to
such effect, and to the effect that failure to report the Excise Tax, if any,
on the Participants applicable federal income tax return will not result in
the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. The Determination by the
Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Participant. As a result
of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time
of the Determination, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have
been made by the Company should have been made (Underpayment) or Gross-Up
Payments are made by the Company which should not have been made
(Overpayment), consistent with the calculations required to be made
hereunder. In the event that the Participant thereafter is required to make
payment of any Excise Tax or additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall
determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the
benefit of the Participant. In the event the amount of the Gross-Up Payment
exceeds the amount necessary to reimburse the Participant for his Excise Tax,
the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Overpayment that has been
made and any such Overpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in
Section 1274(b)(2) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by the Participant (to
the extent he has received a refund if the applicable Excise Tax has been paid
to the Internal Revenue Service) to or for the benefit of the Company.

Section VI. Payment of Benefits.

Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, all severance payments
hereunder shall be paid in a single lump sum at, or as soon as practicable
after, the Participants termination of employment.

Section VII. Continuation of Welfare Plan Coverage.

In the event of a Participants voluntary termination for Good Reason or
his or her involuntary termination by the Company other than a termination for
Cause, such Participant will be entitled, upon payment of any premiums or
co-payments theretofore required for such coverage, to continue all life,
accident and health coverage, on the same basis as in effect on the date he or
she terminated employment, for a period of 24 months from the date of
termination (36 months in the case of the Chief Executive Officer), provided
that, to the extent permitted by law, such coverage may be terminated at the
discretion of the Plan Administrator in the event the Participant obtains at
least equal alternate coverage.

Section VIII. Financial Planning Assistance.

The Company will reimburse a Participant for all bills which the Plan
Administrator determines are reasonably related to financial planning
assistance and tax preparation, provided that such bills are incurred and
evidence of payment by the Participant is submitted to the Plan Administrator
within one year after the date of termination.

Section IX. Reservation of Right to Amend and Terminate.

The Company reserves the right, whether in an individual case or more
generally, by a majority of the Continuing Directors to amend, reduce or
eliminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time
without notice, provided that no amendment to this Plan shall be made for two
years following the occurrence of a Change of Control if such amendment would
reduce the benefits hereunder and no such amendment shall be effective if a
Change of Control occurs within six months following such amendment.

Section X. Relationship to Other Benefits.

No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any
payments, benefits, coverage levels or participation rates under any incentive
compensation plan, any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance, or
other benefit plan of the Company; provided that, a Participant shall not be
entitled to receive the severance payment set forth in Section IV.B. of this
Plan if such Participant becomes entitled to receive a comparable payment
pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Companys 2002 Omnibus Incentive Plan (or any
successor thereto) by reason of a Change of Control.

Section XI. Administration.

Subject to Section V of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have full
power and authority to interpret and carry out the terms of the Plan, and to
exercise discretion where necessary or appropriate in the interpretation and
administration of the Plan, and prior to a Change of Control all decisions by
the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all affected parties.

Section XII. Expenses.

All expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

Section XIII. Withholding.

The Company may withhold from any amounts payable hereunder such Federal,
state or local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation.

Section XIV. Governing Law.

This Plan and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without
reference to the principles of conflict of laws.
