(AMENDED AND RESTATED SEPTEMBER 27, 2007; EFFECTIVE AS OF JUNE 1, 2005 OR AS
OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN)


SECTION 1 - STATEMENT OF PURPOSE


This Executive Compensation Deferral Plan (the “Plan”)
is adopted effective as of June 1, 2005 with respect to irrevocable deferral
elections made by Participants on or after June 1, 2005, and, effective to
defer amounts otherwise payable as taxable compensation on and after January 1,
2006 consistent with the terms of deferral elections made by Participants
consistent with the provisions of the Plan as set forth herein.  The Plan is designed and implemented for the
purpose of providing to a limited group of key management or highly compensated
employees of the Company (as herein defined) who are significantly responsible
for the Company’s success, the opportunity to accumulate capital on a tax
deferred basis, thereby increasing the incentive for such employees to remain
in the employ of the Company and to make the Company more profitable.

the Plan and all elections, deferrals, rights and features, notwithstanding any
written terms or provisions to the contrary, be operated in good faith
compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”); and


2.             That,
as herein amended and restated, the Plan be consistent with all applicable
guidance as has been or may be issued in the future by the IRS and/or the
Treasury Department, including final regulations promulgated during 2007 as
Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1 through 6.


3.             For
purposes of the Plan, all references to Code Section 409A shall be deemed to
include any applicable regulations issued by the IRS and/or the Treasury
Department (including proposed, temporary and/or final regulations) and any
guidance that may be issued by the IRS and/or the Treasury Department
interpreting such Code Section from time to time.

regarding his rights, benefits, or elections available under the Plan.


The Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
the Administrator from any liability which the Administrator may incur in
connection with the performance of his or her duties in connection with this
Plan, so long as the Administrator was acting in good faith and within what the
Administrator reasonably understood to be the scope of his or her duties.


3.2 RECORDS AND REPORTS.  The Administrator shall keep a record of all
actions taken and shall keep all other books of account, records, and other
data that may be necessary for proper administration of the Plan and shall be
responsible for supplying all information and reports to the Company,

provided to the claimant within the initial 90 day period.  The extension notice shall indicate the
special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the

the notice shall set forth in language calculated to be understood by the
claimant (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) specific
reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a
description of any additional material or information necessary for the
claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or
information is necessary, and (iv) a description of the Plan’s review

3.6 CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE.  Any Employee, former Employee, or Beneficiary
who has been denied a benefit by a decision of the Administrator pursuant to
Section 3.5 shall be entitled to request the Administrator to give further
consideration to his claim by filing with the Administrator a request for a
hearing.  Such request, together with a
written statement of the reasons why the claimant believes his claim should be
allowed, shall be filed with the Administrator no later than 60 days after
receipt of the written notification provided for in Section 3.5.  The claimant shall be provided, upon request
and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records
and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.  The Administrator shall then conduct a
hearing within the next 60 days, at which the claimant shall have an
opportunity to submit comments, documents, records and other information
relating to the claim without regard to whether such information was submitted
or considered in the initial benefit determination.


The Administrator shall make a final decision as to
the allowance of the claim within 60 days of receipt of the appeal (unless
there has been an extension due to special circumstances, provided the delay
and the special circumstances occasioning it are communicated to the claimant
in writing within the 60 day period), and a decision shall be rendered as soon
as possible but not later than 110 days after receipt of the request for
review; provided, however, in the event the claimant fails to submit
information necessary to make a benefit determination on review, such period
shall be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent to the
claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for
additional information.  The decision on
review shall be written or electronic and, in the case of an adverse
determination, shall include specific reasons for the decision, in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant, and specific references to the
pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.  The decision on review shall also include (i)
a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of
charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other
information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits, and (ii) a statement
describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan, and a statement
of the claimant’s right, if any, to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA
and shall include specific reasons for the decision and specific references to
the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall select the Employees who
are eligible to become Participants.


4.2 PARTICIPATION. 
The Committee or its designee shall notify those Employees selected for
participation of the benefits available under the Plan.  An Eligible Employee becomes a Participant in
the Plan upon the execution and delivery by him or her and the Committee or its
designee of a Participation Agreement. 
The Participation Agreement will include an acknowledgment by
Participant that he or she is aware of and familiar with the restrictions in the
Plan, that he or she has read and understands the Plan and Participation
Agreement, that he or she has had an opportunity to have the documents reviewed
by legal counsel and that the Participation Agreement will constitute a legal,
valid and binding agreement of Participant.

SECTION 5 - CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN


5.1 PARTICIPANT’S COMPENSATION DEFERRALS.  A Participant may elect to defer each year an
amount of Compensation otherwise payable to him or her.  A participant may elect to defer up to 100%
of his or her salary and/or bonus each year and this election must be made by
December 31 of the year preceding the year in which the salary is earned, and,
with respect to any bonus, no later than such date as is permitted under Code
Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 5.1 to the contrary, a Participant’s elections to defer annual
bonuses earned for the period from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 (the “2008
Fiscal Year”) filed before the beginning of the 2008 Fiscal Year shall be
effective pursuant to their terms and are intended to be consistent with IRS
guidance regarding Code Section 409A in effect at the time of such
elections.  With respect to all other
deferrals of Compensation that would, but for the Participant’s election to
defer, be paid on or after January 1, 2008, the following rules shall be
applicable:


(a)           With respect to salary
payable during a Plan Year, an election to defer must be made no later than
such deadline as may be established by the Committee, which deadline shall be
no later than the last day of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year to which
such deferral election relates.


(b)           With respect to bonuses
payable during a Plan Year, an election to defer must be made no later than
such deadline as may be established by the Committee, which deadline shall be
no later than the last day of the Plan Year preceding the earliest Plan Year
during which occurs any portion of the period of service to which such bonus
relates.  By way of an example, if a
bonus is payable with respect to a period of service measured from July 1, 2008
through June 30, 2009, an election to defer any portion of such bonus must be
filed no later than the applicable deadline, which cannot be later than
December 31, 2007.  Except as may be
otherwise permitted by the Committee, an election to defer bonus compensation
shall only be applicable to regular cash bonuses, and shall not be applicable
to bonuses paid out of the ordinary course, or other than in the form of a cash
payment.


The election to defer shall be made in the form and
manner determined by the Administrator. 
The total amount of Compensation that is deferred shall be considered as
a contribution by Participant to the Plan for that year.  Additional Participant contributions are not
permitted.


5.2 INITIAL DEFERRAL ELECTION.  In the year the Plan is implemented, a
Participant may make a compensation deferral election within 30 days after the
Plan is effective, which election shall apply to amounts earned after the date
of such election.  In the first year in
which an Employee becomes eligible to be a Participant in the Plan, such
Employee may make a deferral election within the first 30 days after becoming
eligible, which election shall be effective for amounts earned after the end of
such 30 day period.  All determinations
of the applicability of this initial deferral election shall be made consistent
with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a)(7).


5.3 VESTING OF CONTRIBUTIONS.  Amounts in Participants’ Accounts and the
earnings thereon shall be Vested at all times.


5.4 COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A.  Any election to defer Compensation by a
Participant made pursuant to this Section 5 shall only be permitted to the
extent such election is 



 6
 








implemented in a manner consistent with the
requirements of Code Section 409A.  The
Administrator shall establish rules and procedures in this regard that take
into account all requirements established under Code Section 409A regarding the
timing of elections, the date as of which an election must become irrevocable
to be considered a valid election under Code Section 409A, and applicable rules
regarding what Compensation of a Participant is deemed to be earned after the
date a deferral election is made.


SECTION 6 - PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS.


6.1 MAINTENANCE OF PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS.  The Administrator shall maintain a separate
Account for each Participant, to which shall be credited the Participant’s
contributions and any increases in value determined under Sections 6.2.  These Accounts shall be for recordkeeping
purposes only and no actual funds will be deposited or set aside for any
individual Participant or for the group of Participants as a whole.


6.2 SHADOW INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS REPRESENTING
PARTICIPANT DEFERRALS.  At the election
of a Participant and under rules adopted by the Administrator, a Participant’s
Account shall be treated as if it had been used to purchase one or more
specific investments and had participated in the income from and the growth or
decline in value of such investments. 
Each Participant will be required to choose the “shadow investments” for
his or her Account from a list presented by the Plan Administrator.  Except for the default shadow investment in a
hypothetical interest bearing account, as described in the second paragraph of
this Section 6.2, all of the shadow investments shall be securities or mutual
funds which are registered for sale to investors in the United States and for
which valuation quotations are readily available.  Participants will be allowed to change such
designated investments in the manner and frequency determined by the
Administrator.  Changes in value of the
shadow investments shall be credited or charged to Participants’ Accounts as
these changes occur.


If the Participant does not make an election under the
previous paragraph, then for purposes of determining the balance in each
Participant’s Account, such Account shall be credited on a quarterly basis with
a rate of interest with the rate set by the Company at the beginning of each
Plan Year.


6.3 STATEMENTS OF PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS.  The Administrator shall prepare or have
prepared within a reasonable period of time after the end of each Plan Year a
statement for each Participant of their Account Balance and shall send such
statement to the Participant.


SECTION 7 - DISTRIBUTIONS


7.1 DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE PLAN.  Before the beginning of each Plan Year, each
Participant shall elect whether the amounts which will or may be contributed or
credited to his or her Account that Year shall be distributed (1) in a lump sum
at a specified date, which must be no earlier than the second calendar year
following the year of deferral, (2) in equal installments beginning at a
specified date, which must be no earlier than the second calendar year
following the year of deferral, or (3) upon separation from service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Participant’s separation from service occurs prior to the date all distribution
from the Plan have been made, a distribution of the Participant’s remaining
benefit under the Plan shall be made as 



 7
 








soon as practicable, consistent with Section 7.6,
below, following such Participant’s separation from service.  In addition, a Participant’s Account shall be
distributed in the event of the Participant’s (1) death, or (2) Disability.  The Company shall deduct from any payment of
benefits the amount of any federal, state or local income or employment taxes
required to be withheld or paid with respect to the distribution.


7.2 SUBSEQUENT ELECTION TO EXTEND DEFERRAL If
Participant has elected a distribution at or beginning at a specified date
pursuant to Section 7.1, or has made any subsequent election pursuant to this
Section 7.2, then Participant can make a subsequent election to further delay
that distribution, as long as (1) such subsequent election is made at least 12
months before the previously elected distribution date or starting date and (2)
the additional deferral is for a minimum of five years beyond the distribution
date previously chosen.  There is no
limit on the number of times a Participant can further defer a scheduled
distribution, as long as (1) each such further deferral is made at least 12
months in advance of the scheduled distribution date or starting date and (2)
is for a period at least five years beyond the scheduled distribution
date.  Any election to defer a scheduled
distribution must be made in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A and
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b). 
For these purposes, an election to receive a distribution in the form of
a series of equal installments shall be treated, to the extent permissible
under Code Section 409A, as an election to receive a single payment that would
be paid as of the date of the commencement of the installment payments.


7.3 HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS.  In the event of Severe Financial Hardship, the
Participant may request that an amount no greater than his or her Vested
Account Balance be paid to him or her in order to satisfy such financial need.  Severe Financial Hardship shall be defined as
(1) resulting from an illness or accident of Participant, Participant’s spouse
or a dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a); (2) loss of the Participant’s
property due to casualty; or (3) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable
circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the Participant’s
control.  The amount of the distribution
will be limited to the amount needed to satisfy the emergency plus taxes
reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution.  Distribution will not be allowed to the extent
that the hardship may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by
insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the
extent that such liquidation would not itself cause a severe financial
hardship).  Any request for a hardship
distribution shall be considered by the Plan Administrator, whose decision
whether to grant such request shall be final. 
Any Participant receiving a hardship distribution will not be permitted
to elect to defer any amount under this Plan for a period of one year from the
date of such distribution.  The
Participant shall not repay to the Company amounts distributed pursuant to this
Section 7.3.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, a Participant shall not be considered to have a Severe
Financial Hardship unless the circumstances constitute an “unforeseeable
emergency” as that term is defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) and
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(3), and the amount distributable under
this Section 7.3 shall not be greater than the amount permitted under Code
Section 409A(1)(2)(B)(ii)(II) and Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(3)(ii).


7.4 LOANS. 
Loans from the Plan are not permitted.


7.5 DISTRIBUTION FOR MINOR BENEFICIARY.  In the event a distribution is to be made to
a minor, then the Administrator may direct that such distribution be paid to
the legal guardian, or 



 8
 








if none, to a parent of such Beneficiary, or to the
custodian of such Beneficiary under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act or Gift to
Minors Act, if such is permitted by the laws of the state in which said
Beneficiary resides.  Such a payment to
the legal guardian, custodian or parent of a minor Beneficiary shall fully
discharge the Company and Plan from further liability on account thereof.


7.6 COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, no distribution of benefits shall be made to any Participant if
such distribution would violate the provisions of Code Section 409A(a)(2).  Distribution of a Participant’s Account
shall, therefore, be delayed until such time as the distribution is permissible
under Code Section 409A.  Such a delay in
distribution shall , for example, be required with respect to a distribution to
a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as that term is used for purposes
of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i))
by reason of such Participant’s separation from service, so that distribution
does not occur before the date which is six months after the date of such
Participant’s separation from service. 
Distribution that may otherwise be permitted under the Plan by reason of
a Participant’s Disability, or because of a Severe Financial Hardship may not
be permitted by reason of the application of this Section 7.6 if the
Participant’s Disability is not attributable to a condition that would cause
such Participant to be considered “disabled” as that term is defined in Code
Section 409A(2)(C), or if the Participant’s Severe Financial Hardship does not
qualify as an “unforeseeable emergency” as that term is defined in Code Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(ii).


7.7 DISTRIBUTION ON CHANGE OF CONTROL.  In the event there is a transaction that
constitutes a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company, or
“in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, that
would be recognized as a permissible distribution event as defined for purposes
of Section 409A(a)(2)(v) of the Code and consistent with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “Change of Control”), then the portion of each
Participant’s account balance attributable to a Participation Agreement that
specifically elected to have such Participant’s deferred compensation benefit
distributed upon the occurrence of a Change of Control shall be distributed to
such Participant in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the
occurrence of the Change of Control.


 SECTION 8 -
COMPANY-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE (“COLI”)


8.1 THE COMPANY OWNS ALL RIGHTS.  In the event that, in its discretion, the
Company purchases a life insurance policy or policies insuring the life of any
Participant to allow the Company to informally finance and/or recover, in whole
or in part, the cost of providing the benefits hereunder, neither the
Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever therein.  The Company shall be the sole owner and
beneficiary of any such policy or policies and shall possess and may exercise
all incidents of ownership therein, except in the event of the establishment of
and transfer of said policy or policies to a trust by the Company as described
in Section 11 hereof.


8.2 PARTICIPANT COOPERATION.  If the Company decides to purchase a life
insurance policy or policies on any Participant, the Company will so notify
such Participant.  Such Participant shall
consent to being insured for the benefit of the Company and shall take whatever
actions may be necessary to enable the Company to timely apply for and acquire
such life 



 9
 








insurance and to fulfill the requirements of the
insurance carrier relative to the issuance thereof as a condition of
eligibility to participate in the Plan.


8.3 PARTICIPANT MISREPRESENTATION.  If: (a) any Participant is required by this
Plan to submit information to any insurance carrier; and (b) the Participant
makes a material misrepresentation in any application for such insurance; and
(c) as a result of that material misrepresentation the insurance carrier is not
required to pay all or any part of the proceeds provided under that insurance,
then the Participant’s (or the Participant’s Beneficiary’s) rights to any
benefits under this Plan may be, at the sole discretion of the Company, reduced
to the extent of any reduction of proceeds that is paid by the insurance
carrier because of such material misrepresentation.


8.4 SUICIDE. 
Notwithstanding any other term or provision of the Plan or this
Agreement, if a Participant dies by reason of suicide and if the Company’s
receipt of insurance proceeds is as a result reduced, then the Participant’s
(or the Participant’s Beneficiary’s) rights to any benefits under this Plan may
be, at the sole discretion of the Company, reduced to the extent of any
reduction of proceeds that is paid by the insurance carrier.


SECTION 9 - ADMINISTRATOR


9.1 RESIGNATION. 
Any person or entity who has been designated to act as the Plan
Administrator or who is a member of the Committee may resign from such position
at any time by written notice to the Committee, which shall be effective thirty
(30) days after receipt of such notice or such earlier date as agreed to by the
Administrator and the Committee.


9.2 REMOVAL.  Any
person or entity who has been designated to act as the Plan Administrator or
who is a member of the Committee may be removed from such position by the
Committee or the Board with or without advance notice.


9.3 APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.  If the Administrator resigns or is removed, a
successor shall be appointed, in accordance with Section 9.4, by the effective
date of resignation or removal under this Section 9.  If no such appointment has been made, the
Administrator may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of
a successor or for instructions.  All
expenses of the Administrator in connection with the proceeding shall be
allowed as administrative expenses of the Company.


9.4 SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATOR.  If any person or entity who has been
designated to act as the Plan Administrator or who is a member of the Committee
resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 9.1 or 9.2, the Committee may
appoint any other person as successor Administrator or Committee member.  The appointment shall be effective when
accepted in writing by the new Administrator. 
The new Administrator or Committee member shall have all of the rights
and powers of the former Administrator or Committee member, as the case may be.


SECTION 10 - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION


10.1 AMENDMENT. 
The Company shall have the right at any time to amend this Plan.  However, no amendment shall be effective so
as to reduce the amount of any contributions already credited to Participant’s
Account, to delay the payment of any amount to a Participant 



 10
 








beyond the time that such amount would be payable
without regard to such amendment, or that would cause any income to be
recognized by reason of a violation of Code Section 409A.


10.2 TERMINATION. 
The Company shall have the right to terminate the Plan and distribute
the Participants’ Accounts in the form of a lump sum distribution; provided,
however, that any such termination of the Plan shall be implemented in a manner
that complies with Code Section 409A and that the termination of the Plan does
not reduce the amount already credited to any Participant’s Account.  Participants understand that in the event the
Plan is terminated, the Participants may receive a distribution of their
Accounts at a date that is earlier than would have been the case had the
termination of the Plan not occurred, and the distribution may be made in a
form that differs from the form of distribution that has been elected by the
Participants.


SECTION 11 - MISCELLANEOUS


11.1 NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS.  No right or benefit under this Plan shall be
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or
charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge,
encumber, or charge any right or benefit under this Plan or any Participation
Agreement shall be void.  No such right
or benefit shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts,
contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled thereto.  No amount of the benefit will, prior to
payment, be subject to garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind,
and will not be transferable by operation of law in the event of the
bankruptcy, insolvency or death of the employee.  If a Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder
shall become bankrupt, or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell assign, pledge,
encumber, or charge any right hereunder, then such right or benefit shall, in
the discretion of the Committee, cease and terminate, and in such event, the Committee
may hold or apply the same or any part thereof for the benefit of the
Participant or his or her Beneficiary, spouse, children, or other dependents,
or any of them in such manner and in such amounts and proportions as the Committee
may deem proper.


11.2 UNSECURED LIABILITY.  The obligation of the Company to make
payments hereunder to a Participant shall constitute an unsecured liability of
the Company.  Such payments shall be made
from the general funds of the Company and the Company shall not be required to
establish or maintain any special or separate fund, to purchase or acquire life
insurance on a Participant’s life, or otherwise to segregate assets to assure
that such payments shall be made. 
Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any interest in
any particular asset of the Company by reason of its obligations hereunder and
the right of any of them to receive payments under this Plan shall be no
greater than the right of any other unsecured general creditor of the Company.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall create or
be construed as creating a trust of any kind or any other fiduciary
relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person.


11.3 NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT.  This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a
contract between the Company and any Participant or to be a consideration or an
inducement for the employment of any Participant or Employee.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall be
deemed to give any Participant or Employee the right to be retained in the
service of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to
discharge any Participant or Employee at any time regardless of the effect
which such discharge shall have upon him or her as a Participant of this Plan.



 11
 








11.4 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.  Each Participant shall file with the Administrator
a notice in writing, in a form acceptable to the Company, designating one or
more Beneficiaries to whom payments becoming due by reason of or after his or
her death shall be made.  Participants
shall have the right to change the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries so designated
from time to time; provided, however, that no such change shall become
effective until received in writing and acknowledged by the Administrator.


11.5 PAYMENT TO INCOMPETENTS.  The Company shall make the payments provided
herein directly to the Participant or Beneficiary entitled thereto or, if such
Participant or Beneficiary has been determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be mentally or physically incompetent, then payment shall be
made to the duly appointed guardian or other authorized representative of such
Participant or Beneficiary.  The Company
shall have the right to make payment directly to a Participant or Beneficiary
until it has received actual notice of the incapacity of such Participant or
Beneficiary and actual notice of the appointment of a duly authorized
representative of his or her estate.  Any
payment to or for the benefit of a Participant or Beneficiary shall be a
complete discharge of all liability of the Company therefore.


11.6 INTERPRETATION. 
The interpretation and construction of the Plan by the Administrator,
and any action taken hereunder, shall be binding and conclusive upon all
parties in interest.  No officer or
employee of the Company shall be liable to any person for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in connection with the interpretation, construction or
administration of the Plan, so long as such action or omission be made in good
faith.


11.7 AUTHORITY TO APPOINT A COMMITTEE.  The Board, within its discretion, shall have
the authority to appoint a committee of one (1) or more of its members, which
shall have authority over the Plan in lieu of the entire Board.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the
Company’s Compensation Committee shall serve as the Committee.


11.8 AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH A TRUST.  The Company shall have the right at any time
to establish a trust to which the Company may transfer from time to time
certain assets to be used by the trustee(s) to satisfy some or all of the
Company ‘s obligations and liabilities under the Plan.  All assets held by such trust shall be
subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s
Insolvency (as defined herein).  The
Company shall be considered “Insolvent” for purposes of the trust if: (a) the
Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due; or (b) the Company is
subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy
Code.


11.9 BINDING EFFECT. 
Obligations incurred by the Company pursuant to this Plan shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Participant, his or her
Beneficiaries, personal representatives, heirs, and legatees.


11.10 ENTIRE PLAN. 
This document and any amendments hereto contain all the terms and
provisions of the Plan and shall constitute the entire Plan, any other alleged
terms or provisions being of no effect.


11.11 MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR ACQUISITION.  In the event of a change in control of the
Company, the obligations and responsibilities of the Company under this Plan
shall be 



 12
 








assumed by any such successor or acquiring corporation
or entity, and all of the rights, privileges and benefits of the Participants
hereunder shall continue.
