                           CONTRIBUTIONS AND CREDITS

         3.1      EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION CREDITS.  If the Employer elects in the

shall be established and maintained a separate Employer Contribution Credit
Account in the name of each Participant, to which shall be credited or debited,
as applicable, (a) amounts equal to the Employer's Contribution Credits; (b)
any deemed earnings, losses or expenses allocated to the account.

         For purposes of this Section, the Employer's Contribution Credits with
respect to a Participant for a particular Plan Year shall be an amount equal to
the amount specified in the Adoption Agreement, if any, for the Plan Year. The
Employer's Contribution Credits shall be credited to the Participant's Account
either in a single credit or ratably over the applicable period and shall be
credited only if the Participant satisfies the eligibility requirements for
receiving an Employer Contribution Credit for the Plan Year specified in the
Adoption Agreement.

         The Participant's Employer Contribution Credit Account shall be
credited or debited as applicable, as of each Valuation Date with deemed
earnings, losses and expenses, as applicable.  The amount of deemed earnings,
losses and expenses shall be as determined under Article IV.  The Employer shall

among Employer Contribution Credit Account pursuant to such allocation rules as
the Employer deems to be reasonable and administratively practicable.

elects in the Adoption Agreement, in accordance with rules established by the
Employer and subject to such amount limitations as are specified in the Adoption
Agreement, a Participant may elect to defer Compensation which is due to be
earned and which, would otherwise be paid to the Participant, in a lump sum or
in any fixed periodic dollar amount(s) or percentage(s) of Compensation
designated by the Participant.  Amounts so deferred will be considered a
Participant's "Compensation Deferral Credits." Ordinarily, a Participant shall
make such an election with respect to a coming twelve (12) month Plan Year
during the period beginning on the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Plan Year
and ending on the day prior to the Plan Year, or during such other period as is
established by the Employer.

         Compensation Deferral Credits shall be made through regular payroll
deductions or through art election by the Participant to defer the payment of a
bonus not yet payable to him or her at the time of the election. The
Participant may reduce his or her payroll deduction Compensation Deferral
Credit amount as of, and by written notice delivered to the Employer at least
thirty (30) days prior to, the beginning of any regular payroll period, with
such reduction being first effective for Compensation to be earned in that
payroll period. In the case of bonus deferrals the Participant may reduce his
or her bonus or bonuses due to be paid by the Employer by giving notice to the
Employer or the bonus Compensation Deferral Credit Amount prior to the date the
applicable bonus is to be paid.  Once made, a Compensation Deferral Credit
payroll deduction election shall continue in force indefinitely, until changed
by the Participant on a subsequent Participant

Compensation Deferral Credit Account in the name of each Participant to which
shall be credited or debited:  (a) amounts equal to the Participant's
Compensation Deferral Credits and (b) amounts equal to any deemed income,
gains, expenses and losses (to the extent realizable, based upon deemed fair
market value of the Account's deemed assets, as determined by the Employer, in
its discretion) attributable or allocable thereto.

Participant pursuant to the deemed investment directions the Employer properly

Plan, the Participant's Account will be credited or debited to reflect the
Participant's deemed investments.  The Participant's Plan Account will be
credited or debited with the increase or decrease in the realizable net asset
value or the designated deemed investments, as follows.  As of each Valuation
Date, an amount equal to the net increase or decrease in realizable net asset
value (as determined by the Employer) of each deemed investment option within
the Account since the preceding Valuation Date shall be allocated among all
Participants' Accounts deemed to be invested in that investment option in
accordance with the ratio which the portion of the Account of each Participant
which is deemed to be invested within that investment option, determined as
provided herein, bears to the aggregate of all amounts deemed to be invested
within that investment option.

         4.2      ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS.  As of the date of any
distribution hereunder, the distribution made hereunder to the Participant or
her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be charged to such Participant's
Account.  Such amounts shall be charged on a pro rata basis against the
investments of the Plan in which the Participant's Account is deemed to be
invested.

         4.3      SEPARATE  ACCOUNTS.  A separate account under the Plan shall
be established and maintained by the Employer to reflect the Account for each
Participant with sub-accounts to separately show the deemed earnings and losses
credited or debited to such Account, and the applicable deemed investments of
the Account.

         4.4      DEEMED INVESTMENT DIRECTIONS OF PARTICIPANTS.  Subject to
such limitations as may from time to time be required by law, imposed by the
Employer or contained elsewhere in the Plan, and subject to such operating
rules and procedures as may be imposed from time to time by the Employer, prior
to and effective for each Designation Date, each Participant may communicate to
the Employer a direction as to how his or her Plan Accounts should be deemed to
be invested among such categories of deemed investments as may be made
available by the Employer hereunder. Such direction shall designate the
percentage (in any whole percent multiples) of each portion of the
Participant's Plan Accounts which is requested to be deemed to be invested in
such categories of deemed investments, and shall be subject to the following
rules:

                  (a)  Any initial or subsequent deemed investment direction
shall be in writing, on a form supplied by and filed with the Employer, and
shall be effective as of the next Designation Date (as determined by the
Employer).  The Participant may, if permitted by the Employer in its
discretion, make a deemed investment direction for his or her existing Account
balance as of the Designation Date and a separate deemed investment direction
for contribution credits occurring after the Designation Date.

                  (b)  All amounts credited to the Participant's Account shall
be deemed to be invested in accordance with the then effective deemed
investment direction, and as of the effective date of any new deemed investment
direction, all or a portion of the Participant's Account at that date shall be
reallocated among the designated deemed investment funds according to the
percentages specified in the new deemed investment direction unless and until a
subsequent deemed investment direction shall be filed and become effective. An
election concerning deemed investment choices shall continue indefinitely as
provided in the Participant's most recent Participant Enrollment and Election
Form, or other form specified by the Employer.

                  (c)  If the Employer receives an initial or revised deemed
investment direction which it deems to be incomplete, unclear or improper, the
Participant's investment direction then in effect shall remain in effect (or,
in the case of a deficiency in an initial deemed investment direction, the
Participant shall be deemed to have filed no deemed investment direction) until
the next Designation Date, unless the Employer provides for, and permits the
application of, corrective action prior thereto.

                  (d)  If the Employer possesses at any time directions as to
the deemed investment of less than all of a Participant's Account, the
Participant shall be deemed to have directed that the undesignated portion of
the Account be deemed to be invested in a money market, fixed income or similar
fund made available under the Plan, as determined by the Employer in its
discretion.

                  (e)  Each Participant hereunder, as a condition to his or her
participation hereunder, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Employer and
its agents representatives from any losses or damages of any kind relating to
the deemed investment of the Participant's Account hereunder.

Participant and his or her family, and shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, if applicable, to allow such distribution, or, if applicable, to
direct a distribution of part of' the amount requested, or to refuse to allow
any distribution.  Upon a finding of financial hardship, the Employer shall
make the appropriate distribution to the Participant from amounts held by the
Employer in respect of the Participant's Account. In no event shall the
aggregate amount of the distribution exceed either the full value of the
Participant's Account or the amount determined by the Employer to be necessary
to alleviate the Participant's financial hardship (which financial hardship may
be considered to include any taxes due because of the distribution occurring

installment distributions pursuant to Section 6.2 is re-employed by the
Employer as an employee, the remaining (distributions due to the Participant

become entitled to receive, on, or as soon as practicable after, the occurrence
of the Participant's benefit entitlement event (as specified in the Adoption

                 (b)      Timing and Manner of Payment.  In the case of
distributions to a Participant or his or her Beneficiary by virtue of an
entitlement pursuant to Sections 5.1, an aggregate amount equal to the

by the Participant prior to his or her termination of employment, in a lump sum
or in substantially equal monthly, quarterly or annual installments (adjusted
for gains, losses and expenses) over a period selected by the Participant. If a
Participant fails to designate properly the manner of payment of the
Participant's benefit under the Plan, such payment will be in a lump sum on or
about the date of the Participant's termination.

                 If the whole or any part of a payment hereunder by the
Employer is to be in installments, the total to be so paid shall continue to be
deemed to be invested pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.5 under such procedures as
the Employer may establish, in which case any deemed income, gain, loss or
expense attributable thereto (as determined by the Employer, in its discretion)
shall be reflected in the installment payments, in such equitable manner as the
Employer shall determine.

         6.3     DEATH BENEFITS.  If the Employer elects in the Adoption

and before the commencement of payments to the Participant hereunder, the
entire value of the Participant's Account shall be paid, as provided in Section
6.2, to the person or persons designated in accordance with Section 7.1.

         Upon the death of a Participant after payments hereunder have begun
but before he or she has received all payments to which he or she is entitled
under the Plan, the remaining benefit payments shall be paid to the person or
persons designated in accordance with Section 7.1, in the manner in which such
benefits were payable to the Participant.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                        BENEFICIARIES:  PARTICIPANT DATA

         7.1     DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES.  Each Participant from time to
time may designate on a form provided by the Employer any person or persons
(who may be named contingently or successively) to receive such benefits as may
be payable under the Plan upon or after the Participant's death, and such
designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new
designation.  Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same
Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Employer, and will be
effective only when filed in writing with the Employer during the Participant's
lifetime.

         In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time
any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary
validly named by the Participant, the Employer shall pay any such benefit
payment to the Participant's spouse, if then living, but otherwise to the
Participant's then living descendants, if any, per stripes, but, if none, to
the Participant's estate. In determining the existence or identity of anyone
entitled to a benefit payment, the Employer may rely conclusively upon
information supplied by the Participant's personal representative, executor or
administrator.  If a question arises as to the existence or identity of anyone
entitled to receive a benefit payment as aforesaid, or if a dispute arises with
respect to any such payment, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer,
in its sole discretion, may distribute such payment to the Participant's estate
without liability for any tax or other consequences which might flow therefrom,
or may take such other action as the Employer deems to be appropriate.

         7.2     INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY PARTICIPANTS  AND
BENEFICIARIES; INABILITY TO LOCATE PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIARIES.  Any
communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant or to a
Beneficiary at his or her last post office address as shown on the Employer's
records shall be binding on the Participant or Beneficiary for all purposes of
the Plan.  The Employer shall not be obliged to search for any Participant or
Beneficiary beyond the sending of a registered letter to such last known
address. If the Employer notifies any Participant or Beneficiary that he or she
is entitled to an amount under the Plan and the Participant or Beneficiary
fails to claim such amount or make his or her location known to the Employer
within three (3) years thereafter, except as otherwise required by law, if the
Participant's spouse or surviving spouse is then living, the Employer shall
direct distribution of such amount to the Participant's spouse or surviving
spouse, and, if the Participant has died and then has no surviving spouse, the
Employer shall direct distribution of such amount to the Participant's estate
and, if the Participant has not died, the entirety of the Participant's Account
not then paid shall be forfeited to the Employer, and such distribution or
forfeiture shall discharge the Employer's obligations to any such unlocated
Participant or Beneficiary.  If a benefit payable to an unlocated Participant
or Beneficiary is subject to escheat pursuant to applicable state law, the
Employer shall not be liable to any person for any payment made in accordance
with such law.

discretionary, as it deems appropriate, to any person or committee, and in the
same manner to revoke any such delegation of duties, powers or
responsibilities, including the power to delegate any administrative and/or
recordkeeping functions as are required to be performed under the Plan to CPI
Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc., subject to CPI Qualified Plan Consultants,
Inc.'s acceptance of such responsibility. Any action of such person or committee
in the exercise of such delegated duties, powers or responsibilities shall have
the same force and effect for all purposes hereunder as if such action had been
taken by the Employer. Further, the Employer may authorize one or more persons,
including CPI Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc., to execute any certificate or
document on behalf of the Employer, in which event any person notified by the
Employer of such authorization shall be entitled to accept and conclusively
rely upon any such certificate or document executed by such person as
representing action by the Employer until such third person shall have been
notified of the revocation of such authority.

         If CPI Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc. is delegated any
administrative or recordkeeping authority by the Employer hereunder, CPI
Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc. shall use ordinary care and diligence in the
performance of its duties pertaining to the Plan, but, except to the extent
required by law, CPI Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc. shall not incur any
liability:  (i) by virtue of any contract, agreement, bond or other instrument
made or executed by it or on its behalf as delegatee of the Employer (ii) for
any act or failure to act, or any mistake or judgment made, by it with respect
to the business of the Plan, unless resulting from its gross negligence or
willful misconduct or (iii) for the neglect, omission or wrong-doing of any
other person or firm employed or retained by the Employer.

         The Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless CPI Qualified Plan
Consultants, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees and other
representatives (any one of which hereinafter is referred to as an "Indemnified
Person") from the effects and consequences of the Indemnified Person's acts,
omissions and, conduct in its official capacity with respect to the Plan,
except to the extent that such effects and consequences shall result from the
Indemnified Person's own willful misconduct or negligence. This indemnification
will protect an Indemnified Person from all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which (i) are related to or arise
out of (A) actions taken or omitted to be taken (including any untrue
statements made or any statements omitted to be made) by the Employer or (B)
actions taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Person with the
Employer's consent or in conformity with the Employer's actions or omissions;
(ii) arise out of changes in investments initiated by the Employer, such as
losses incurred while Plan assets are being transferred; or (iii) are otherwise
related to or arise out of CPI Qualified Plan Consultants. Inc.'s activities on
behalf of the Employer. The Employer will reimburse an Indemnified Person
within 30 days for all expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel)
as they are incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim, whether or not
in connection with pending or threatened litigation. In addition, if CPI
Qualified Plan Consultants Inc.'s services are required, including deposition,
expert testimony, related meetings, conferences and preparation time for such
events, whether by agreement or subpoena by any party in litigation in which
CPI Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc.'s services may he relevant, Employer shall
pay CPI Qualified Plan Consultants Inc.'s then current hourly rate for the
Indemnified Person(s) involved.  If CPI Qualified Plan Consultant, Inc. is
engaged by the Employer in one or more additional capacities, and the terms of
this Plan or any additional agreement may be embodied in one or more separate
written agreements, this indemnification shall apply to the original Plan and
any such additional agreement and shall remain in full force and effect
following the completion or termination of this Plan.

         8.2     UNIFORMITY OF DISCRETIONARY ACTS.  Whenever in the
administration or operation of the Plan discretionary actions by the Employer
are required or permitted, such actions shall be consistently and uniformly
applied to all persons similarly situated, and no such action shall be taken
which shall discriminate in favor of any particular person or group of persons.

         8.3     LITIGATION.  Except as may be otherwise required by law, in
any action or judicial proceeding affecting the Plan, no Participant or
Beneficiary shall be entitled to any notice or service of process, and any
final judgment entered in such action shall be binding on all persons
interested in, or claiming under, the Plan.

         8.4     CLAIMS PROCEDURE.  Any person claiming a benefit under the
Plan (a "Claimant") shall present the claim, in writing, to the Employer, and
the Employer shall respond in writing.  If the claim is denied, the written
notice of denial shall state, in a manner calculated to be understood by the
Claimant:

                 (a)      The specific reason or reasons for the denial, with
specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

                 (b)      A description of any additional material or
information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

                 (c)      An explanation of the Plan's claims review procedure.

                 The written notice denying or granting the Claimant's claim
shall be provided to the Claimant within ninety (90) days alter the Employer's
receipt of the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time
for processing the claim.  If such an extension is required, written notice of
the extension shall be furnished by the Employer to the Claimant within the
initial ninety (90) day period and in no event shall such all extension exceed
a period of ninety (90) days from the end of the initial ninety (90) day
period.  Any extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances
requiring the extension and the date on which the Employer expects to render a
decision on the claim. Any claim not granted or denied within the period noted
above shall be deemed to have been denied.

         Any Claimant (or such Claimant's authorized representative) whose
claim is denied, or deemed to have been denied under the preceding sentence,
may, within sixty (60) days after the Claimant's receipt of notice of the
denial, or after the date of the deemed denial, request a review of the denial
by notice given, in writing, to the Employer.  Upon such a request for review,
the claim shall be reviewed by the Employer (or its designated representative)
which may, but shall not be required to, grant the Claimant a hearing.  In
connection with the review, the Claimant may have representation, may examine
pertinent documents, and may submit issues and comments in writing. The
decision on review normally shall be made within sixty (60) days of the
Employer's receipt of the request for review.  If an extension of time is
required due to special circumstances, the Claimant shall be notified, in
writing, by the Employer, and the time limit for the decision on review shall
be extended to one hundred twenty (120) days.

         The decision on review shall be in writing and shall state, in a
manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, the specific reasons for
the decision and shall include references to the relevant Plan provisions on
which the decision is based.  The written decision on review shall be given to
the Claimant within the sixty (60) day (or, if applicable, the one hundred
twenty (120) day) time limit discussed above.  If the decision on review is not
communicated to the Claimant within the sixty (60) day (or, if applicable, the
one hundred twenty (120) day) period discussed above, the claim shall be deemed
to have been denied upon review.  All decisions on review shall be final and
binding with respect to all concerned parties.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   AMENDMENT

         9.1     RIGHT TO AMEND.  The Employer specified as having the power to
amend the Plan in the Adoption Agreement, by written instrument executed by the
Employer, shall have the right to amend the Plan by making changes to previous
elections in the Adoption Agreement, at any time and with respect to any
provisions thereof, and all parties hereto or claiming any interest hereunder
shall be bound by such amendment; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall deprive a Participant or a Beneficiary of a right accrued hereunder prior
to the date of the amendment.

         9.2     AMENDMENTS TO ENSURE PROPER CHARACTERIZATION OF PLAN.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, the Plan may be amended by the
Employer specified as having the power to amend the Plan in the Adoption
Agreement at any time, retroactively if required, if found necessary, in the
opinion of the Employer, in order to ensure that the Plan is characterized as a
"top-hat" plan of deferred compensation maintained for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees as described under ERISA sections
201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1), and to conform the Plan to the provisions and
requirements of any applicable law (including ERISA and the Code).  No such
amendment shall be considered prejudicial to any interest of a Participant or a
Beneficiary hereunder.


                                   ARTICLE X

                                  TERMINATION

         10.1    EMPLOYER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATION OR SUSPEND PLAN.  Each
Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan and/or its obligation to make
further credits to Plan accounts. Each Employer also reserves the right to
suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed or indeterminate period of time.

         10.2    AUTOMATIC TERMINATION OF PLAN.  The Plan automatically shall
terminate as to any Employer upon the dissolution of the Employer, or upon its
merger into or consolidation with any other corporation or business
organization if there is a failure by the surviving corporation or business
organization to adopt specifically and agree to continue the Plan.

         10.3    SUSPENSION OF DEFERRALS.  In the event of a suspension of the
Plan, the Employer shall continue all aspects of the Plan, other than
Compensation Deferral Credits or Employer Contribution Credits, during the
period of the suspension, in which event payments hereunder will continue to be
made during the period of the suspension in accordance with Articles V and VI.





<PAGE>   26
         10.4    ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION.  This Section shall become
operative on a complete termination of the Plan. The provisions of this Section
also shall become operative in the event of a partial termination of the Plan,
as determined by a terminating Employer, but only with respect to that portion
of the Plan attributable to the Participants to whom the partial termination is
applicable.  Upon the effective date of any such event, notwithstanding any
other provisions of the Plan, no persons who were not theretofore Participants
shall be eligible to become Participants, the value of the interest of all
Participants and Beneficiaries shall be determined and, after deduction of
estimated expenses in liquidating and, if applicable, paying Plan benefits,
paid to them as soon as is practicable after such termination.

         10.5    SUCCESSOR TO EMPLOYER.  Any corporation or other business
organization which is a successor to the Employer by reason of a consolidation,
merger or purchase of substantially all of the assets of the Employer shall
have the right to become a party to the Plan by adopting the same by resolution
of the entity's board of directors or other appropriate governing body.  If,
within ninety (90) days from the effective date of such consolidation, merger
or sale of assets, such new entity does not become a party hereto, as above
provided, the Plan automatically shall be terminated, and the provisions of
Section 10.4 shall become operative.


                                   ARTICLE XI

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1    LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.  Neither the establishment of the
Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any account under the
Plan, nor the payment of any benefits under the Plan shall be construed as
giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against
the Employer, or any officer or employee thereof except as provided by law or
by any Plan provision. Neither CPI Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc. nor the
Employer in any way guarantees any Participant's Account from loss or
depreciation, whether caused by poor investment performance of a deemed
investment or the inability to realize upon an investment due to an insolvency
affecting an investment vehicle or any other reason. In no event shall the
Employer or CPI Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc., or any successor, employee,
officer, director or stockholder of the Employer or CPI Qualified Plan
Consultants, Inc., be liable to any person on account of any claim arising by
reason of the provisions of the Plan or of any instrument or instruments
implementing its provisions, or for the failure of any Participant, Beneficiary
or other person to be entitled to any particular tax consequences with respect
to the Plan, or any credit or distribution hereunder.

         11.2    CONSTRUCTION.  If any provision of the Plan is held to be
illegal or void, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining
provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be
construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been
inserted herein.  For all purposes of the Plan, where the context admits, the
singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.
Headings of Articles and Sections herein are inserted only for convenience of
reference and are not to be considered in the construction of the Plan.  The
laws of the state of the Employer's incorporation shall govern, control





<PAGE>   27
and determine all questions of law arising with respect to the Plan and the
interpretation and validity of its respective provisions, except where those
laws are preempted by the laws of the United States.  Participation under the
Plan will not give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of
the Employer nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan unless such
right or claim has specifically accrued hereunder.

         The Plan is intended to be and at all times shall be interpreted and
administered so as to qualify as an unfunded deferred compensation plan, and no
provision of the Plan shall be interpreted so as to give any individual any
right in any assets of the Employer which right is greater than the rights of a
general unsecured creditor of the Employer.

         11.3    SPENDTHRIFT PROVISION.  No amount payable to a Participant or
a Beneficiary under the Plan will, except its otherwise specifically provided
by law, be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, attachment,
garnishment, sale, transfer, assignment (either at law or in equity), levy,
execution, pledge, encumbrance, charge or any other legal or equitable process,
and any attempt to do so will he void; nor will any benefit be in any manner
liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or
torts of the person entitled thereto.  Further, (i) the withholding of taxes
from Plan benefit payments, (ii) the recovery under the Plan of overpayments of
benefits previously made to a Participant or Beneficiary, (iii) if applicable,
the transfer of benefit rights from the Plan to another plan, or (iv) the
direct deposit of benefit payments to an account in a banking institution (if
not actually part of an arrangement constituting an assignment or alienation)
shall not be construed as an assignment or alienation.

         In the event that any Participant's or Beneficiary's benefits
hereunder are garnished or attached by order of any court, the Employer may
bring an action or a declaratory judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction
to determine the proper recipient of the benefits to be paid under the Plan.
During the pendency of said action, any benefits that become payable shall be
held as credits to the Participant's or Beneficiary's Account or, if the
Employer prefers, paid into the court as they become payable, to be distributed
by the court to the recipient as the court deems proper at the close of said
action.
