         4.01 NORMAL RETIREMENT: The Participants in this Determination shall
receive the following Supplemental Pension payable at Normal or Late Retirement:

                  (a)      The Normal Retirement Benefit otherwise payable to
                           the Participant under the Pension Plan computed
                           without reduction for any maximum contribution,
                           benefit or compensation limitations imposed by ERISA
                           or the Code on the Corporation and including in the
                           Normal Retirement Benefit calculation any
                           compensation deferred by Participant. The
                           Participant's "Average Annual Compensation" for
                           Supplemental Pension calculation purposes shall mean
                           the average of the highest three years of the full
                           amount of the Participant's salary and bonus
                           compensation for the five-year period preceding his
                           or her Retirement Date.

                  (b)      The Supplemental Pension set forth in Section 4.01(a)
                           shall be reduced by any benefits payable to the
                           Participant under the Pension Plan.

         4.02 EARLY OR DISABILITY RETIREMENT: The Supplemental Pension payable

death of the Participant while an Employee shall be as provided by Section 4.02.

         4.04 FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION: The form of benefits payable to the
Participant shall be the form which has been elected under the Pension Plan
unless the Participant or Beneficiary has elected a different form under this
Determination. Payment of Supplemental Pension benefits hereunder shall commence
at the same time as the Participant's or Beneficiary's benefits commence under
the Pension Plan, and shall be subject to the same reductions for commencement
of payments prior to Normal Retirement Date as apply to the recipient's benefits
under the Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant dies
while employed, his or her Beneficiary may elect to receive in a lump sum the
actuarial present value (determined pursuant to the assumptions set forth in the
Pension Plan) of the Participant's Supplemental Pension under this
Determination.

ARTICLE V.  PARTICIPANTS.

The Committee designates as Participants for purposes of this Determination any
Employee who is classified as salary grade 25 or above for compensation purposes
as of the date he or she becomes eligible for benefits under this Determination
in accordance with Article III hereof; provided, however, that any Employee who
has been designated in any other SERP Determination shall be excluded from this
Determination to the extent that such other Determination provides for the
Supplemental Pension set forth above.

ARTICLE VI.  VESTING.

The Participant shall become vested in the Supplemental Pension payable pursuant
to this Determination upon his or her termination of employment by reason of 1)
retirement on his or her Normal Retirement Date, 2) retirement on his or her
Early or Disability Retirement Date or 3) death while an Employee. Nothing in
this Determination shall preclude the Board of Directors from discontinuing
eligibility to participate in the SERP and this Determination at any time before
the Participant shall become vested hereunder.

ARTICLE VII.  ADOPTION.

This Determination was approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation on October 20, 1999, to be effective for Participants whose last day
worked for purposes of the Pension Plan is on or after December 31, 1999.
