                                                                    [UNOVA LOGO]

                                   UNOVA, INC.

                            EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN

                         (AS AMENDED NOVEMBER 18, 1999)

The Board of Directors of UNOVA, Inc. (the "Company") recognizes that, as is the
case with many publicly held companies, there exists the possibility of a Change
of Control of the Company. This possibility and the uncertainty it creates may
result in the loss or distraction of employees of the Company and its
Subsidiaries to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board considers the avoidance of such loss and distraction to be essential
to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders. The Board also believes that when a Change of Control is perceived
as imminent, or is occurring, the Board should be able to receive and rely on
disinterested service from its executives and other key employees regarding the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders without concern that such
employees might be distracted or concerned by the personal uncertainties and
risks created by the perception of an imminent or occurring Change of Control.

In addition, the Board believes that it is consistent with the Company's
employment practices and policies and in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders to treat fairly its employees whose employment terminates in
connection with or following a Change of Control.

Accordingly, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to
assure the Company of the continued employment, attention and dedication to duty
of its executives and other key employees and to seek to ensure the availability
of their continued service, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or
occurrence of a Change of Control.

Therefore, in order to fulfill the above purposes, the following plan has been
developed and is hereby adopted.

ARTICLE I.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN

As of the Effective Date, the Company hereby establishes a severance
compensation plan known as the UNOVA, Inc. Executive Severance Plan as set forth
in this document.

ARTICLE II.  DEFINITIONS

As used herein the following words and phrases shall have the following
respective meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

<PAGE>   2

        (a) Annual Bonus. The annual cash bonus that a Participant may earn
pursuant to the terms of any short-term incentive compensation plan or
arrangement, whether or not set forth in a written document, of UNOVA, Inc., or
by any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to which annual cash bonuses or cash
incentive awards may be made, as such plans or arrangements may be in effect
from time to time.

        (b) Annual Bonus Award. The highest amount a Participant received or was
awarded as an Annual Bonus in any of the three 12-month periods (including
service with Western Atlas) prior to a termination of employment entitling the
Participant to a Separation Benefit.

        (c) Annual Compensation. The sum of a Participant's Annual Salary and
Annual Bonus.

        (d) Annual Salary. The Participant's regular annual base salary
immediately prior to his or her termination of employment, including
compensation converted to other benefits under a flexible pay arrangement
maintained by the Company or deferred pursuant to a written plan or agreement
with the Company, but excluding special allowances, premium pay, compensation
paid or payable under any Company long-term or short-term incentive plan or any
similar payment.

        (e) Board. The Board of Directors of UNOVA, Inc.

        (f) Cause. With respect to any Participant: (i) the willful and
continued failure of the Participant to perform substantially the Participant's
duties with the Company or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure
resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written
demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant by the Board
or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the
manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that the
Participant has not substantially performed the Participant's duties, or (ii)
the willful engaging by the Participant in illegal conduct or gross misconduct
which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. For purposes of
this definition, no act or failure to act on the part of the Participant shall
be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the
Participant in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Participant's
action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act or failure
to act based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the
Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or an executive
officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall
be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant
in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

        (g) Change of Control. The occurrence of any of the following events:

            (i) An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the

"Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); excluding, however, the following

any acquisition by the Company, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan
(or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation

member of the Board subsequent to such effective date hereof whose election, or
nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of
at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall
be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board;
but, provided further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of
office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as
such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Exchange Act) with respect to the election or removal of directors or other
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
Person other than the Board shall not be so considered as a member of the
Incumbent Board; or

            (iii) The approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company ("Business Combination") or if
consummation of such Business Combination is subject, at the time of such
approval by shareholders, to the consent of any government or governmental
agency, obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly, by
consummation); excluding, however, such a Business Combination pursuant to which
(A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business
Combination will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60 percent
of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting
power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from
such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as
a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the

substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such
Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (other than any
employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company
or any corporation controlled by the Company or such corporation resulting from
such Business Combination) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 30
percent or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the
corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting
power of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors except to the extent that such ownership

or any other action by the Company which results in a significant diminution in
such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose

which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given

<PAGE>   6

payment of a Separation Benefit as provided in the Plan or there has been an
event or occurrence constituting Good Reason that would enable the Participant
to terminate his or her employment and receive a Separation Benefit. A
Participant entitled to payment of a Separation Benefit or any other amounts
under the Plan shall remain a Participant in the Plan until the full amount of
the Separation Benefit and any other amounts payable under the Plan have been
paid to the Participant.

ARTICLE IV.  SEPARATION BENEFITS

        4.1 Terminations of Employment Which Give Rise to Separation Benefits
Under This Plan. A Participant shall be entitled to Separation Benefits as set
forth in Section 4.2 below if, at any time before the number of years (and
months, if any) equal to the Multiple has elapsed following the Date of the
Change of Control, the Participant's Employment is terminated (i) by the Company
for any reason other than Cause, death, Disability or Retirement or (ii) by the
Participant within 90 days after the occurrence of Good Reason.

        4.2 Separation Benefits.

            (a) If a Participant's employment is terminated in circumstances
entitling him or her to a Separation Benefit as provided in Section 4.1, the
Participant's Employer shall pay such Participant, within ten days of the Date
of Termination, a cash lump sum as set forth in subsection (b) below and the
continued benefits set forth in subsection (c) below. For purposes of
determining the benefits set forth in subsections (b) and (c), if the
termination of the Participant's employment is for Good Reason based upon a
reduction of the Participant's Annual Salary, opportunity to earn Annual
Bonuses, or other compensation or employee benefits, such reduction shall be
ignored.

            (b) The cash lump sum referred to in Section 4.2(a) is the aggregate
of the following amounts:

                (i) the sum of (1) the Participant's Annual Salary through the
Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x)
the Target Annual Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days in the such year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of
which is 365, and (3) any compensation previously deferred by the Participant
(together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued
vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid and in full
satisfaction of the rights of the Participant thereto;

                (ii) an amount equal to the product of (1) the Participant's
Multiple times (2) the sum of (x) the Participant's Annual Salary and (y) the
higher of the Participant's Target Annual Bonus or Annual Bonus Award; and

                (iii) any unpaid installments of any Annual Bonus previously
awarded to the Participant.

            (c) The continued benefits referred to above are as follows:

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

                (i) during the Separation Period, the Participant and his or her
family shall be provided with medical, dental and life insurance benefits as if
the Participant's employment had not been terminated; provided, however, that if
the Participant becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to
receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provided plan,
the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to
those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of
eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of
commencement of benefits) of the Participant for retiree medical, dental and
life insurance benefits under the Company's plans, practices, programs and
policies, the Participant shall be considered to have remained employed during
the Separation Period and to have retired on the last day of such period; and

                (ii) the Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide
the Participant with outplacement services the scope and provider of which shall
be selected by the Participant in his or her sole discretion (but at a cost to
the Company of not more than $30,000) or, at the Participant's option, the use
of office space, office supplies and equipment and secretarial services for a
period not to exceed one year.

To the extent any benefits described in this Section 4.2(c) cannot be provided
pursuant to the appropriate plan or program maintained for Employees, the
Employer shall provide such benefits outside such plan or program at no
additional cost (including without limitation tax cost) to the Participant.

        4.3 Other Benefits Payable. The cash lump sum and continuing benefits
described in Section 4.2 above shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu
of, all other accrued or vested or earned but deferred compensation, rights,
options or other benefits which may be owed to a Participant upon or following
termination, including but not limited to accrued vacation or sick pay, amounts
or benefits payable under any bonus or other compensation plans, stock option
plan, stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan, life insurance plan, health
plan, disability plan or similar or successor plan, but excluding any severance
pay or pay in lieu of notice required to be paid to such Participant under
applicable law or under any other severance plan or policy of the Company or any
Subsidiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in the
Plan shall be deemed to override or deprive any Participant of the full benefit
of any provision in any stock incentive plan, supplemental retirement plan, or
other benefit plan which provides for acceleration of benefits upon a change of
control of the Company, whether or not the term "Change of Control" has a
definition identical to that set forth in Article II of this Plan.

        4.4 Certain Reduction of Payments by the Company.

            (a) For purposes of this Section 4.4, (i) a Payment shall mean any
payment or distribution in the nature of compensation to or for the benefit of a
Participant, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Plan or otherwise; (ii)
Separation Payment shall mean a Payment paid or payable pursuant to this Plan
(disregarding this Section); (iii) Net After Tax Receipt shall mean the Present
Value of a Payment net of all taxes imposed on a Participant with respect
thereto under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), determined by applying the highest marginal rate under
Section 1 of the Code and any applicable state income tax law which is expected
to apply to the Participant's taxable income for the year(s) when the Payments
are received; (iv)

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

"Present Value" shall mean such value determined in accordance with Section
280G(d) (4) of the Code; and (v) "Reduced Amount" shall mean the greatest
aggregate amount of Separation Payments which (a) is less than the sum of all
Separation Payments and (b) results in aggregate Net After Tax Receipts which
are equal to or greater than the Net After Tax Receipts which would result if
the Participant were paid the sum of all Separation Payments.

            (b) Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
event Deloitte & Touche LLP or such other certified public accounting firm
designated by the Participant (the "Accounting Firm") shall determine that
receipt of all Payments would subject the Participant to tax under Section 4999
of the Code, it shall determine whether some amount of Separation Payments would
meet the definition of a "Reduced Amount." If the Accounting Firm determines
that there is a Reduced Amount, the aggregate Separation Payments shall be
reduced to such Reduced Amount. All fees payable to the Accounting Firm shall be
paid solely by the Company.

            (c) If Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Separation Payments
should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, the Company shall promptly give the
Participant notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation
thereof, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion,
which and how much of the Separation Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as
long as after such election the Present Value of the aggregate Separation
Payments equals the Reduced Amount), and shall advise the Company in writing of
his or her election within ten days of his or her receipt of notice. If no such
election is made by the Participant within such ten-day period, the Company may
elect which of such Separation Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long
as after such election the Present Value of the aggregate Separation Payments
equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such
election. All determinations made by Accounting Firm under this Section shall be
binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within 60 days of
a termination of employment of the Participant. As promptly as practicable
following such determination, the Company shall pay to or distribute for the
benefit of the Participant such Separation Payments as are then due to the
Participant under this Plan and shall promptly pay to or distribute for the
benefit of the Participant in the future such Separation Payments as become due
to the Participant under this Plan.

            (d) While it is the intention of the Company to reduce the amounts
payable or distributable to the Participants hereunder only if the aggregate Net
After Tax Receipts to a Participant would thereby be increased, as a result of
the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of
the initial determination by Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that
amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit
of a Participant pursuant to this Plan which should not have been so paid or
distributed ("Overpayment") or that additional amounts which will have not been
paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of a Participant
pursuant to this Plan could have been so paid or distributed ("Underpayment"),
in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder.
In the event that Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by
the Internal Revenue Service against either the Company or the Participant which
Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success determines that an
Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the
Company to or for the benefit of a Participant shall be treated for all

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

purposes as a loan to the Participant which the Participant shall repay to the
Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in
Section 7872(f) (2) of the Code; provided however, that no such loan shall be
deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by a Participant to the
Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and payment would not either
reduce the amount on which the Participant is subject to tax under Section 1 and
Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that
Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority,
determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant together
with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f) (2)
of the Code.

        4.5 Payment Obligations Absolute. Subject to Section 4.4, the
obligations of the Company and the Employers to pay the Separation Benefits
described in Section 4.2 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries may have against any Participant. In no event shall a Participant
be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of
mitigation of the amounts payable to a Participant under any of the provisions
of this Plan, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any
compensation earned by a Participant as a result of employment by another
employer, except as specifically provided in Section 4.2(c) (i).

ARTICLE V. PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS

This Plan may be adopted by any Subsidiary of the Company. Upon such adoption,
the Subsidiary shall become an Employer hereunder and the provisions of the Plan
shall be fully applicable to the Employees of that Subsidiary who are
Participants pursuant to Section 3.1.

ARTICLE VI. SUCCESSOR TO THE COMPANY

        This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its
businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place.

        In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the
foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company
shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree
to perform the Company's obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place. The term "Company," as used in this Plan, shall mean
the Company as herein before defined and any successor or assignee to the
business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by this Plan.

ARTICLE VII. DURATION, AMENDMENT, AND TERMINATION

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

        7.1 Duration. If a Change of Control has not occurred, this Plan shall
remain in effect until terminated as provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.3. If a
Change of Control occurs while this Plan is in effect, this Plan shall continue
in full force and effect and shall not terminate or expire until after all
Participants who become entitled to any payments hereunder shall have received
such payments in full and all adjustments required to be made pursuant to
Sections 4.2 and 4.3 have been made.

        7.2 Amendment or Termination. The Board may amend or terminate this Plan
at any time; provided, that this Plan may not be terminated or amended in any
manner that could adversely affect the rights of any Participant (i) after a
Change of Control has occurred, (ii) at the request of a third party who has
taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control, or (iii)
otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control.

        7.3 Procedure for Extension, Amendment or Termination. Any extension,
amendment or termination of this Plan by the Board in accordance with the
foregoing shall be made by action of the Board in accordance with the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws and applicable law, and shall be
evidenced by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer of the
Company, certifying that the Board has taken such action.

ARTICLE VIII.  MISCELLANEOUS

        8.1 Indemnification. If a Participant institutes any legal action in
seeking to obtain or enforce, or is required to defend in any legal action the
validity or enforceability of, any right or benefit provided by this Plan, the
Company or the Employer will pay for all actual legal fees and expenses incurred
(as incurred) by such Participant, if such Participant prevails in such legal
action, regardless of whether such action is between the Company or the Employer
and the Participant or between either of them and any third party.

        8.2 Employment Status. This Plan does not constitute a contract of
employment or impose on the Participant or the Participant's Employer any
obligation for the Participant to remain an Employee or change the status of the
Participant's employment or the policies of the Company and its affiliates
regarding termination of employment.

        8.3 Named Fiduciary, Administration. UNOVA, Inc. is the named fiduciary
of the Plan, with full authority to control and manage the operation and
administration of the Plan, acting through the Compensation Committee of its
Board.

        8.4 Claim Procedure. If an Employee or former Employee makes a written
request alleging a right to receive benefits under this Plan or alleging a right
to receive an adjustment in benefits being paid under the Plan, the Company
shall treat it as a claim for benefit. All claims for benefit under the Plan
shall be sent to the Human Resources Department of the Company and must be
received within 30 days after the Date of Termination. If the Company determines
that any individual who has claimed a right to receive benefits, or different
benefits, under the Plan is not entitled to receive all or any part of the
benefits claimed, it will inform the claimant in writing of its determination
and the reasons therefor in terms calculated to be understood by the claimant.
The notice will be

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

sent within 90 days of the claim unless the Company determines additional time,
not exceeding 90 days, is needed. The notice shall make specific reference to
the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and describe any
additional material or information as necessary. Such notice shall, in addition,
inform the claimant what procedure the claimant should follow to take advantage
of the review procedures set forth below in the event the claimant desires to
contest the denial of the claim. The claimant may within 90 days thereafter
submit in writing to the Company a notice that the claimant contests the denial
of his or her claim by the Company and desires a further review. The Company
shall within 60 days thereafter review the claim and authorize the claimant to
appear personally and review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments
relating to the claim to the persons responsible for making the determination on
behalf of the Company. The Company will render its final decision with specific
reasons therefor in writing and will transmit it to the claimant within 60 days
of the written request for review, unless the Company determines additional
time, not exceeding 60 days, is needed, and so notifies the Participant. If the
Company fails to respond to a claim filed in accordance with the foregoing
within 60 days or any such extended period, the Company shall be deemed to have
denied the claim.

        8.5 Unfunded Plan Status. This Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan
maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a
select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning
of Section 401 of ERISA. All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made from
the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be
established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment. No
Participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in
any particular property or assets of the Company as a result of participating in
the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (but shall not be
obligated to) create one or more grantor trusts, the assets of which are subject
to the claims of the Company's creditors, to assist it in accumulating funds to
pay its obligations under the Plan.

        8.6 Validity and Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect, and
any prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

        8.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of the Plan shall in all respects be governed by the laws of
California, without reference to principles of conflict of law, except to the
extent pre-empted by federal law.

                                  INTRODUCTION

        Your Employer has chosen the Benefits described in this
Booklet/Certificate for many reasons. The most important of these are to protect
its most valuable assets -- its healthy and productive employees -- and to
provide You (and Your family) with significant financial protection against the
physical, emotional and economic strain Illness or Injury can bring.

        Please read this document carefully to familiarize Yourself with the
Benefits it describes and the procedures for filing claims. If You have any
questions about Your coverage, please contact the plan representative.

        When used in the Plan, unless otherwise stated, the terms are as defined
in:

1.      the General Definitions section, or

2.      the specific benefits sections.

                                   ELIGIBILITY

ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES

        Employees who are classified by the Employer as a) an active Key
Executive employee, b) a retired Key Executive employee, or c) a consultant who
has been designated as a participant by the Employer, or their wholly-owned
subsidiaries, and who is compensated for his/her services by or is under
agreement with the Employer or their wholly-owned subsidiaries.

ELIGIBLE DEPENDENTS

        To be eligible for Dependent Coverage under the Plan, Your dependent(s)
        must be eligible.

        Your Eligible Dependents are:

1.      Your lawful spouse;

2.      Your unmarried dependent Child:

        a.      less than age 19; and

        b.      age 19 to 23 if a full-time student in an accredited school and
                dependent on You for main support and care;

3.      Your Child with a mental or physical handicap who is over the age limit,
        if a) the Child becomes and remains Disabled while covered under the
        Plan, or b) was covered under the Prior Plan that this Plan replaces
        and, in either case, all of the following conditions are met:

        a.      the Child has not been married;

        b.      cannot hold a self-supporting job due to the handicap; and

        C.      depends on You for main support and care.

        First proof of incapacity must be given to Us (at Your expense) within
31 days of the Child's limiting birthday. After two years following the
attainment of the limiting age, subsequent proof may be requested annually.

        "Child" means: Your natural Child; Your stepchild; an adopted Child; a
Child who has been Placed For Adoption with You; a Child for whom You have been
appointed legal guardian; a Child who is recognized under a qualified medical
child support order as having a right to enrollment under the Plan (hereafter
"QMCSO-child"); or a Foster Child. With respect to an adopted or placed Child,
dependent coverage will include necessary care and treatment of medical
conditions existing prior to the date of placement. In all cases the Child must
depend upon You for his/her main support and care. However, when a court
recognizes a Child as a QMCSO-child, the Child will be considered Your Eligible
Dependent regardless of whether the Child is living with You or receiving
his/her main support and care from You.

        No person may be covered as a dependent of more than one employee. An
employee may not be covered as a dependent.

LATE ENROLLEES

        If You do not Enroll within 31 days after You are eligible for Health

        for such coverage or Your dependent was not enrolled within 31 days
        after he/she became eligible; or

2.      You wish to restore Dependent Health Care coverage which ended because
        You did not make required Contributions, Your dependent may be

        section.)

       - Late Enrollee may Enroll only during the open enrollment period.

       - Late Enrollee's coverage will be made effective on the first day of the

                        WHEN COVERAGE BEGINS - CONTINUED

        You or an Eligible Dependent may Enroll for coverage during Special
Enrollment Periods without being considered a Late Enrollee under the following
circumstances:

        The Special Enrollment Periods exist under the following circumstances:

1.      Loss of Other Coverage. If You or an Eligible Dependent

        a.      was/were covered under another group health plan (including
                COBRA continuation) or under no share-of-cost Medi-Cal coverage
                or had other medical insurance coverage at the time enrollment
                was declined; and

        b.      stated, in writing, that coverage under another health plan or
                under a no share-of-cost Medi-Cal coverage was the reason for
                declining enrollment and were provided with a notice of this
                requirement and the consequences of such a requirement; and the
                Employer can provide Us with a written statement confirming
                these facts and

        c.      have/has lost or will lose coverage under the other plan as a
                result of loss of eligibility (due to such reasons as
                termination of employment, change of employment status, death of
                a spouse, divorce, legal separation) or cessation of the
                employer's contributions to such coverage (even if the other
                plan is continued) or loss of no share-of-cost Medi-Cal coverage
                or have exhausted COBRA continuation coverage, You or an
                Eligible Dependent may Enroll within 31 days after loss of
                coverage. Coverage will be effective on the first day of the
                month following enrollment.

2.      Acquisition of Dependents. If You did not Enroll when first eligible and
        acquire a dependent through marriage, birth, adoption or Placement For
        Adoption, You and the newly acquired dependent(s) may Enroll within 31
        days of the date of marriage, birth, adoption or Placement For Adoption.
        In the case of the birth, adoption or placement of a Child, Your spouse
        may also be enrolled as Your dependent if otherwise eligible for
        coverage. Coverage will be effective on the date of birth, adoption or
        Placement For Adoption. In the case of marriage, coverage will be made
        effective on the first day of the month following enrollment.

3.      During any state prescribed enrollment period.

<PAGE>   10

                               WHEN COVERAGE ENDS

FOR EMPLOYEES:

        Your coverage will end on the date of the first of these events:

1.      The end of the month in which You stop Active Work on a Full-Time Basis
        in an Eligible Class, except that:

        a.      if You stop Active Work due to Injury, Illness or Qualified
                Leave of Absence for personal Injury or Illness, Your Employer
                will continue Your Health coverage subject to payment of
                Contributions. Such coverage will continue only while You are
                unable to return to work because of the Injury, Illness or
                Qualified Leave of Absence. This coverage continuance will be on
                a basis precluding individual selection;

        b.      if You stop Active Work to take a qualified military leave of
                absence (pursuant to the Uniformed Services Employment and
                Reemployment Rights Act of 1994), You may elect to continue Your
                Health coverage subject to payment of premium. Such coverage
                will continue only while You are unable to return to work
                because of the qualified military leave of absence. Such
                continuance will be on a basis precluding individual selection;

        c.      if You stop Active Work to take a Qualified Leave of Absence
                (pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 or other
                applicable state's leave law, if any such law applies to Your
                Employer), for reasons other than personal Illness or Injury,
                Your Employer will continue coverage subject to payment of
                Contributions. Such coverage will continue only while You are
                unable to return to work because of the Qualified Leave of
                Absence. Such continuance will be on a basis precluding
                individual selection;

        d.      Upon retirement from UNOVA, Inc., coverage for the retired
                executive and their dependents will continue until the executive
                attains age 72. If the retired executive dies before attainment
                of age 72, the surviving dependents will be covered until the
                retired executive would have attained age 72.

2.      As to any one coverage or class, the date the Plan is amended or changed
        to exclude that coverage or class.

3.      Your Employer ceases to be an Associated Company of the Policyholder.

4.      Your Employer ceases to be a member of the trust to which We issued the
        Policy.

5.      The Plan ends.

FOR DEPENDENTS:

        A dependent's coverage will end on the earlier of:

1.      the date Your coverage ends; or

2.      the end of the month in which the dependent ceases to be eligible as
        defined by the Plan.

        Please read the Special California Continuation of Medical or Health
Coverage provisions to determine if Your coverage may extend beyond the time
allowed above.

<PAGE>   11

                      CONTINUANCE OF COVERAGE IN THE EVENT
                               OF A LABOR DISPUTE

        Your and Your dependent's coverage under the Group Policy will continue
and Your employment will be considered to continue after the day it would
otherwise end under the Group Policy because You ceased work as a result of a
labor dispute, subject to the following conditions:

1.      You are a member of a collective bargaining unit which participates in
        the cessation of work resulting from the labor dispute.

2.      Your union agrees to collect and remit to Us the required monthly
        premium, and Your union agrees that it will:

        a.      keep required monthly premium collection records in connection
                with this continuance of coverage;

        b.      furnish Us with needed information to administer this
                continuance of coverage when We require that information; and

        C.      permit Us, at any reasonable time, to inspect the union records
                which relate to this continuance of coverage.

3.      You must remit the required monthly premium to Your union on the date
        You stopped work. The union, if it agrees, will remit to Us all such
        monthly premium payments. Your required monthly payment will be at the
        premium rate applicable to Your and Your dependent's Benefit Class as We
        required on the date You stopped work.

        We will not discontinue Your coverage if any of Your required premium
        which was unpaid on the date You stopped work and was due prior to the
        date You stopped work, if paid prior to the date the next premium is due
        under the terms of the Plan.

        You must remit to Your union subsequent required monthly premium
        payments not later then 20 days after the due date for the premium for
        that month.

        The grace period for payment of premiums will not apply to premiums due
        to Us for any coverage continued under this provision. Premiums must be
        paid to Us by Your union within 31 days after the due date.

4.      In addition to Our right under the Plan to change premium rates, We have
        the right to increase the rate charged to You for Your and your
        dependent's coverage on the date You stopped work. We may increase this
        premium rate by up to twenty percent (20%), or a higher percent if
        approved by the Insurance Commissioner of the state of California. An
        increase in premium rates will automatically increase Your required
        monthly premium.

5.      Neither We nor the Policyholder has the right to terminate the Plan with
        respect to coverage being continued under this provision.

6.      Your continuance of coverage provided by this provision will terminate
        on the earliest of the following:

        a.      the last day of the period for which (a) You paid the required
                premium, or (b) Your union last remitted to Us the required

                  SPECIAL CALIFORNIA CONTINUATION FOR SURVIVING
                 SPOUSES, DIVORCED OR LEGALLY SEPARATED SPOUSES

        If Your spouse and any dependent Child(ren) lose coverage under Your
Health Care coverage due to Your death, dissolution of marriage or legal
separation or if Your entitlement to Medicare causes loss of Dependent Coverage,
Your spouse may elect to continue the coverage under California's benefit
instead of Federal Continuation Coverage (COBRA) under certain circumstances.
The continued coverage applies to Medical Care, and any Dental Care, Vision Care
and Prescription Drug coverage You may have under this Plan.

        The Plan Administrator must be notified within 15 days of Your spouse's
eligibility due to divorce or legal separation and supplied with the spouse's
mailing address. The spouse will be notified within 15 days and provided with
election forms. If the Plan Administrator is not notified within the time
provided, the right to such coverage will be terminated.

        In case of Your death, Your Employer will notify the Plan Administrator.

        Coverage will not be terminated for up to 31 days after notice and forms
are provided. If the premium for continued coverage is not paid within 31 days
after notice is provided, coverage will be deemed terminated in accordance with
the "When Coverage Ends" provision.

        Continuation of coverage for the Covered Person will terminate on the
date:

1.      the Covered Person ceases to reside in the State of California;

2.      the Covered Person marries or remarries',

3.      the Covered Person becomes eligible for a comparable state, federal or
        private group medical or health plan", or

4.      the Covered Person becomes eligible for medical care coverage under
        another employer's group plan, even though such plan may be less
        substantial.

The ineligibility of a dependent Child will not invalidate the continuation
provision for any other family member.

        The continued coverage of all dependents , will end on the earliest of:

1.      90 days from when coverage would have ended under the "When Coverage
        Ends" provision;

2.      the date the spouse ceases to reside in the State of California;

3.      the date the spouse remarries;

4.      the date the spouse becomes eligible for any comparable state, federal
        or private group medical plans;

5.      the date the spouse becomes eligible for medical coverage under
        another's employer's group plan, even though such plan may be less
        substantial;

6.      the date the Medical Care coverage under the Plan is terminated;

7.      the date the Employer through which coverage was obtained ceases to
        participate in the Medical Care coverage; or

8.      the date the premium is not paid within the time allowed.

                  SPECIAL CALIFORNIA CONTINUATION OF MEDICAL OR
                  HEALTH COVERAGE FOR EMPLOYEES AGE 60 AND OVER
                                AND THEIR SPOUSES

        If You are age 60 years or older, You and Your covered spouse may elect
to continue coverage beyond the expiration of Your Federal Continuation Coverage
under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) under certain
circumstances. This extended continuation applies if You have been employed for
at least 5 years prior to termination of employment and You or Your spouse is
not entitled to Medicare when Your COBRA coverage expires. Continuation follows
the same terms and conditions in force under Your COBRA election.

        If You meet the qualifications above, You must make an election for this
special continuation at least 30 days prior to the date Your COBRA coverage is
scheduled to terminate. The election is separate from Your COBRA election;
however, You must elect COBRA in order for the special continuation election to
be valid. You may terminate this coverage at any time. A former spouse of an
employer may also elect to continue coverage beyond the expiration of COBRA by
making an election in this same manner.

        Continued coverage, effective after COBRA coverage expires, will
automatically terminate whenever any of the following occurs:

1.      Failure to pay the premium when due under the Plan;

2.      The employer ceases to provide a group health plan to its employees;

3.      Becoming covered under another group health plan;

4.      Becoming entitled to Medicare;

5.      Attainment of the age of 65; or

6.      For Your spouse or former spouse only, five years from the date COBRA
        coverage ends.

                                    MEDICARE

        This section applies to a Covered Person who is eligible for Medicare
coverage. It provides rules for determining the order of benefit payments
between coverage under this Plan and those of Medicare. The intent of this
section is to conform the Plan to the requirements of the federal Medicare
Secondary Payer law. Accordingly, the section and its stated rules will be
adjusted, if We deem necessary, so that the Plan's liability for Benefit payment
is neither greater nor less than those required under the law.

1.      If, pursuant to the rules:

        a.      this Plan is determined to be secondary to Medicare, it will pay
                secondary to and coordinate its Benefits with Medicare;

        b.      this Plan is determined to be primary to Medicare, it will pay
                Benefits without regard to Medicare benefits.

2.      The order of benefit payments rules are outlined below.

        a.      Rules applicable to a person covered under the Plan by virtue of
                that person's "Current Employment Status" with an Employer or as
                a dependent of such person:

       - Old-Age (attaining age 65)*                         Be primary.

       - Disability (other than ESRD)                        Be primary.

       - End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)                      Be primary for the first 30 months of ESRD Medicare
                                                             coverage; be secondary thereafter.
       - Old-Age or Disability, preceding or beginning
         concurrently with ESRD                              Continue to be primary until the end of the first 30 months of
                                                             ESRD Medicare coverage; be secondary thereafter.
</TABLE>

        *If a Covered Person elects to have Medicare as primary coverage, such
        person's Health Care coverage under this Plan will terminate. If the
        employee's Health Care coverage terminates in accordance with this
        provision, coverage on the employee's covered dependents will cease on
        the same date.

        b.      Rules applicable to a person covered under the Plan as a Retired
                Employee, a dependent of such employee, or on any basis other
                than those stated in 2.a. above:

        For purposes of this section, "Current Employment Status": a person is
considered to have Current Employment Status with an Employer if the person is
an employee, is the Employer (including self-employed person), or is associated
with the Employer in a business relationship.

REMEMBER: The Medicare section outlined above applies from the date a Covered
Person is first ELIGIBLE for Medicare (either part A or part B), whether or not
the Covered Person is enrolled and is receiving Medicare benefits.

                                PLAN REPLACEMENT

        If Medical Care coverage under this Plan replaces a group medical plan
(the "Prior Plan") within 60 days after a) the date the Prior Plan ended, or b)
the date the coverage under a plan for an entire employer unit ended, the
following will apply:

1.      If You and Your dependents were covered under the "Prior Plan" on the
        date such plan ended, You and Your dependents will be covered under this
        Plan, if You and Your dependents meet the Eligibility requirements for
        coverage under the terms of this Plan.

2.      All former employees entitled to "California Special Continuation for
        Employees Age 60 and Over and Their Spouses" will be eligible under this
        Plan.

3.     If You or Your dependent is totally disabled (as defined by the Prior
       Plan) and entitled to an extension of benefits under the Prior Plan, this
       Plan will not provide coverage for any Expenses Incurred due to any
       conditions causing the disability.

        a.      Any Benefit payable under this Plan will not be lower than the
                benefit that would have been provided under the Prior Plan.

        b.      Any Benefit payable will be reduced by the amount of benefits
                payable under the Prior Plan's extension of benefits provision.

4.      Your or Your dependent's coverage will continue until the earlier of:

        a.      the date coverage would terminate in accordance with this Plan's
                Termination of Coverage provision; or

        b.      for a person Disabled on the date the Prior Plan ended, the end
                of the extension of benefits period of the Prior Plan. If the
                Prior Plan was not required to provide an extension of benefits,
                coverage will end not less than 12 months from the date the
                person became Disabled.

                          MEDICAL CONVERSION PRIVILEGE

        If Your coverage with the Plan ends due to:

1.      any reason except failure to pay the required premium; or

2.      the Plan ending and not being replaced within 60 days by similar
        coverage,

You may purchase personal coverage ("Conversion Coverage") for Yourself and each
of Your covered dependents, provided:

1.      You (and Your dependents) were covered by this Plan (and under any group
        plan providing similar Benefits which it replaces) for at least three
        months prior to the date Your employment ends; and

2.      You (and Your dependents) are not eligible for Medicare,

        You have 31 days from the date Your coverage ends to submit a written
application and the first premium for Conversion Coverage. You are solely
responsible for contacting Us to obtain this coverage. Premium will be based on
the type of coverage and the sex, age and state of residence of the person
purchasing the coverage. Coverages will become effective on the date group
coverage ends.

        If purchase of Conversion Coverage will result in over-insurance
according to Our standards, We reserve the right to deny such coverage.

        Pregnancy Benefits are included in a conversion policy if they were
provided under the group Plan which the Conversion Policy replaces.

        This privilege is also available to a) covered dependents if You die; or
b) to a dependent Child who reaches the limiting age; or c) to Your ex-spouse on
the date a valid decree of divorce is issued (including any Children whose
coverage also ends at the same time), if exercised within 31 days of the date
coverage ends.

        THE CONVERSION COVERAGE WILL MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE
IN WHICH IT IS ISSUED. THE BENEFITS PROVIDED BY THE CONVERSION POLICY WILL NOT
DUPLICATE THE BENEFITS PROVIDED UNDER THIS PLAN.

        If Your or Your dependents' coverage with the Plan has been continued
according to federally mandated standards, You or they may still be able to
exercise this conversion right. The full term of the available Federal
Continuation Coverage (COBRA) must have been exhausted to receive this
Conversion Privilege.

                            COORDINATION OF BENEFITS

        If this is not Your only plan coverage, the Benefits payable under this
Plan, and any other group plan for the Allowable Expenses Incurred during any
Benefit Determination Period will be coordinated so that the combined Benefits
paid or provided by all plans will not exceed 100% of such Allowable Expenses.

        You must inform Us if You have other coverage (for example, through Your
spouse's employer); and give Your consent to the release of information so that
We may use this provision. You should first file Your claim with the primary
plan (as determined below). When the claim is paid, send a copy of the charges
and a copy of the Explanation of Benefits Statement from the first plan to the
secondary plan (as determined below). This will accelerate the processing of
Your claim.

        One of Your Plans will be determined to be primary (using the rules
below). The primary plan pays its full benefits first. The plan paying second
takes the benefits of the primary plan into account when it determines its
benefits.

        A plan is primary when:

1.      the plan does not have a COB provision;

2.      the plan designates itself as an "excess" or "always secondary" plan; or

3.      if both plans have a COB provision, under the rules it is determined to
        be primary.

        When both plans have a COB provision, the order in which the plans
provide benefits is determined using the first of the following rules which
applies:

1.      Employee/dependent. The plan which covers the person as an active
        employee is primary. If You or Your dependent is also covered by
        Medicare, the plan covering the person as an active employee is primary,
        the plan covering the person as a dependent of an active employee is
        secondary, and then Medicare.

2.      Dependent children.

        a.      If the parents are not separated or divorced, the plan which
                covers the parent whose birthday (month and day) falls earlier
                in the calendar year is primary. If both parents have the same
                birthday (month and day), the plan which covered the parent
                longer is primary. If the other plan does not have the "birthday
                rule", the rule in the other plan will determine the primary
                plan.

        b.      If the parents are separated or divorced, the plan which covers
                the natural parent with custody is primary; followed by the plan
                which covers the step-parent who has married the natural parent
                with custody; and finally, the plan which covers the natural
                parent without custody.

                However, if the court decrees one of the parents responsible for
                health care expenses, the plan which covers that parent is
                primary.

                If the decree names the parent other than the natural parent
                with custody, We must be notified and have actual knowledge of
                those terms. Any Benefits paid prior to actual knowledge will
                not be affected. The plan of the other parent and the plan of
                the spouse of the parent with custody will be secondary and
                third, respectively.

                If joint custody is granted by the court, the rules pertaining
                to parents who are not separated or divorced apply.

3.      Active/inactive employee. The plan covering the employee who is neither
        laid off or retired is primary. If the other plan does not have this
        rule, this rule is ignored.

                      COORDINATION OF BENEFITS - CONTINUED

4.      Continuation coverage. Continuation coverage provided under either
        federal or state law is secondary. If the other plan does not have this
        rule, this rule is ignored.

5.      Length of coverage. If the primary plan cannot be determined using any
        of the rules above, the plan which has covered the person for the
        longest period of time will be considered primary.

        If this Plan is determined to be secondary, We will reduce Benefits
payable so that the total benefits provided by all plans during a claim
determination period are not more than the total Allowable Expenses for the
Covered Person.

        The actual Benefit amounts available are determined by each plan's
benefit provisions. Benefits payable under this Plan will never exceed the
amount which would have been paid if there were no other plans involved. If
Benefit payments under this Plan are reduced by COB, only the reduced amounts
will be charged against Your Plan maximums.

        If during Coordination of Benefits, payments are made in error, the
plans will have the right to adjust payments among themselves. Such payments
satisfy Our liability. If We overpay a claim, We will have the right to recover
such overpayments from any person for, to whom, or with respect to whom such
payments were made, any other insurance company, or any other organization.

DEFINITIONS

        An "Allowable Expense" is the Reasonable and Customary cost for any
necessary medical or dental service which is covered (at least in part) by one
of the plans. If a health plan provides services (rather than cash payments) a
dollar value will be assigned in order to use this provision.

        When the primary plan penalizes You for not complying with plan
provisions, such as failing to pre-certify, the amount of the reduction is not
considered an Allowable Expense.

        A "Benefit Determination Period" means from January 1 of one year to
December 31 of the same year.

        A "plan" as used in this provision, is any of the following which
provides health benefits or services:

1.      a group, blanket or franchise plan on an insured basis;

2.      other plans which cover people as a group;

3.      a self-insured or non-insured plan or other plan which is arranged
        through an employer, trustee or union;

4.      a pre-payment plan which provides medical or dental service;

5.      government plans, except Medicaid;

6.      group auto insurance, but only to the extent medical benefits are
        payable under group auto insurance;

7.      no-fault auto insurance on an individual basis, except where not allowed
        by the state in which this Plan is issued;

8.      single or family subscribed plans issued under a group or blanket type
        plan;

but the definition of plan shall not include:

1.      hospital indemnity type plans;

2.      school accident-type coverage;

3.      traditional auto insurance.

                       CLAIMS AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

NOTICE AND PROOF OF CLAIM

        You must give Us a written notice of claim for a medical or health claim
(including vision and dental claims, if any), within 12 months after a Covered
Expense is incurred.

        Within 15 days after We receive the notice of claim, We will send claim
forms (if required) to You for giving proof of claim. If You do not receive
these forms, You will satisfy the proof of claim requirement by giving Us a
written statement of the nature and extent of the loss within the time limit
provided below.

        You must give positive proof of claim to Us or Our authorized claim
office for a medical or health claim (including vision and dental claims, if
any) within 15 months after a Covered Expense is Incurred.

        You must give Us proper written notice and proof of loss before We will
be liable for any loss. If You send Us proof as soon as reasonably possible, We
will not reduce or deny claims merely because You cannot reasonably give notice
and proof in writing within the time required. However, such proof must be
furnished within one year from the time proof is otherwise required except in
the absence of legal capacity.

        We may, as required by law, accept claims submitted by a third-party
custodial parent or a provider (with the custodial parent's approval) for
Covered Expenses Incurred by a covered dependent Child who is also eligible for
a state medical assistance program (i.e., Medicaid).

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS

1.      With the receipt of a claim for medical transportation services, any
        Benefits due will be paid directly to the provider if the provider has
        not received payment for those services from any other source. Except as
        provided below, all other Benefits, other than for loss of life, due and
        not validly assigned will be paid to You as soon as practical, but no
        later than 30 working days after We receive Due Proof. Due Proof is all
        information necessary to determine Our liability for the claim and to
        determine if services are Medically Necessary. If We have not paid or
        denied a claim containing Due Proof within the time allotted, The Plan
        Will Pay interest at the rate of 10% per annum beginning the day after
        the allotted time period.

2.      The Plan may, to the extent required by law, pay Benefits for claims
        incurred by a covered dependent Child directly to a custodial parent, a
        state agency or a provider.

3.      Benefit payments pursuant to a qualified medical child support order
        (QMCSO) in reimbursement for expenses paid by a QMCSO-child or his/her
        legal representative (custodial parent or legal guardian) will be made
        to the QMCSO child or his/her legal representative.

4.      If You use a Participating Provider, The Plan Will Pay Benefits, if any,
        to the provider of service.

5.      The Plan may pay Benefits to the person or institution who gave You
        care.

6.      Any payments We make under the above, except under 1. will discharge Our
        liability to the extent of Our payment. We are not responsible for how
        the Benefits We pay are used.

LEGAL ACTIONS

       You may not sue Us for Benefits under this Plan:

1.      before 60 days following the date You send Us proof of claim;

2.      after 3 years following the end of the period required for giving proof
        of claim.

                 CLAIMS AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS - CONTINUED

ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFITS

        You may assign Medical or Health Care Benefits directly to the Doctor,
Hospital or an appropriate state agency. You can either sign the necessary forms
given to You by the provider of services or sign the designated assignment on
Your claim form. Otherwise, Benefits will be paid according to the Payment of
Claims provision. If You use a Participating Provider, The Plan Will Pay
Benefits, if any, to the provider of service. We will not be responsible for the
validity of any assignment. Nor will We be liable for any action, payment or
other settlement made before We receive such assignment.

        To the extent permitted by law, neither the Benefits nor payments under
this Plan will be subject to the claim of creditors or to any legal process.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS

        We may have a Doctor of Our choice examine You, at Our expense, as often
as is reasonably necessary while Your claim is pending. We may also have an
autopsy performed, at Our expense, except if prohibited by law.

INCONTESTABILITY AND MISSTATEMENT

        We cannot contest the Group Policy after it has been in force for two
years unless premiums are not paid. We cannot contest Your or Your dependent's
insurability after the Policy has been in force for two years during Your or
Your dependent's lifetime unless required Contributions are not paid. However,
no provision of this Policy shall make the coverage of an ineligible person
valid.

        Any statement about Your health or age made in writing and signed by You
may be used to contest Your coverage.

        If You misstate Your age, The Plan Will only Pay Benefits based on Your
correct age. The Plan will a) adjust premium, b) validate, or c) void coverage
as necessary.

REFUND TO US FOR OVERPAYMENT OF BENEFITS

        If You or Your dependent recovers money for medical, Hospital, dental,
prescription drug or vision Expenses Incurred due to an Illness or Injury for
which a Benefit has been paid under the Plan, We will have the right to a refund
from You or Your dependent. The amount refunded to Us will be the lesser of:

1.      the amount You or Your dependent recovers;

2.      the amount of Benefits We have paid.

        You or Your dependent (or a parent or legal guardian, if required) will
help Us do whatever else may be reasonably needed to obtain this refund.

                therapist.

        Care that does require the technical skills of a licensed medical

        considered to be Custodial Care.

14.     DISABLED: means that due to Illness or Injury You cannot perform work

        a.      The service or supply is under study or in a clinical trial to
                evaluate its toxicity, safety or efficacy for a particular
                diagnosis or set of indicators. Clinical trials include but are
                not limited to phase 1, 11 and III clinical trials.

        b.      The prevailing opinion within the appropriate specialty of the
                United States medical profession is that the service or supply
                needs further evaluation for the particular diagnosis or set of
                indications before it is used outside clinical trials or other
                research settings. We determine if this item b. is true based
                on:

                i.      published reports in authoritative medical literature;
                        and

                ii.     regulations, reports, publications and evaluations

                        Health Care Policy and Research, the National Institutes
                        of Health, the federal Food and Drug Administration
                        (FDA), the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA),
                        or any other appropriate technological assessment body.

        C.      In the case of a drug, a device or other supply that is subject
                to FDA approval:

                i.      it does not have FDA approval; or

                ii.     it has FDA approval only under its Treatment
                        Investigational New Drug regulation or a similar
                        regulation; or

                iii.    it has FDA approval, but it is being used for an
                        indication or at a dosage that is not an Accepted Off-
                        Label Use. An "Accepted Off-Label Use" is a use that is:

                        a)      included and favorably recognized for treatment
                                of the indication in one or more of the

                                Medical Association Drug Evaluations, the
                                American Hospital Formulary Service Drug
                                Information, and The United States Pharmacopoeia
                                Information; or

                        b)      established based on supportive clinical
                                evidence in peer-reviewed medical publications.

        d.      The providers institutional review board acknowledges that the
                use of the service or supply is Experimental, Investigational,
                or Unproven and subject to that board's approval.

        e.      Research protocols indicate that the service or supply is
                Experimental, Investigational, or Unproven. This item e. applies
                for protocols used by the Covered Person's provider as well as
                for protocols used by other providers studying substantially the
                same service or supply.]

                             YOUR RIGHTS UNDER ERISA

        As a participant in the Plan, You are entitled to certain rights and
protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
ERISA provides that all plan participants shall be entitled to:

        Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator's office and upon
written request at other specified locations, such as work establishments, all
plan documents, including insurance contracts and copies of all documents filed
by the plan with the U.S. Department of Labor, such as detailed annual reports
and plan descriptions.

        Obtain copies of all plan documents and other Plan information upon
written request to the Plan Administrator. The administrator may make a
reasonable charge for the copies.

        Receive a summary of the Plan's annual financial report. The Plan
Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this
summary annual report.

        In addition to creating rights for plan participants, ERISA imposes
duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee
benefit plan. The people who operate Your Plan, called "Fiduciaries" of the
plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of You and other plan
participants and beneficiaries. No one, including Your Employer, or any other
person, may fire You or otherwise discriminate against You in any way to prevent
You from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising Your rights under ERISA.

        If Your claim is denied in whole or in part, You must receive a written
explanation of the reason for the denial. You have the right to have the Plan
review and reconsider Your claim. Under ERISA, there are steps You can take to
enforce the above rights. For instance, if You request materials from the Plan
and do not receive them within 30 days, You may file suit in a federal court. In
such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the
materials and pay You up to $110 a day until You receive the materials, unless
the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan
Administrator. If You have a claim for Benefits which is denied or ignored, in
whole or in part, You may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should
happen that plan Fiduciaries misuse the Plan's money, or if You are
discriminated against for asserting Your rights, You may seek assistance from
the U.S. Department of Labor, or You may file suit in a federal court. The court
will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If You are successful,
the court may order the person You have sued to pay these costs and fees. If You
lose, the court may order You to pay these costs and fees for example, if it
finds Your claim is frivolous.

        If You have any questions about Your Plan, You should contact the Plan
Administrator. If You have any questions about this statement or about Your
rights under ERISA, You should contact the nearest office of the Pension and
Welfare Benefits Administration, U. S. Department of Labor, listed in Your
telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries,
Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U. S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Avenue N. W., Washington, D. C. 20210.

        under the terms of the Plan's Health Care coverage.

        A dependent child born to or placed for adoption with You during Your
        COBRA continuation coverage period has the right to COBRA continuation

                coverage because of termination of Your employment or reduction
                in Your hours and Your spouse or dependent then experiences
                another of the events which would entitle such person to
                continued coverage, he/she may extend the 18 month continuation
                period to 36 MONTHS from the date of the event that first made

                If You become entitled to Medicare within 18 months prior to
                Your employment termination (or work hours reduction), Your
                spouse and dependents who are entitled to COBRA continuation
                coverage will become eligible for a continuation period of not
                shorter than 36 months from the date You become entitled to
                Medicare. This continuation period is measured from the time You
                are entitled to Medicare. The maximum continuation period for
                Your spouse or dependents will not exceed 36 months.

                However, unless You are entitled to an extended continuation
                period as described in 2.a. above, You yourself will only be
                eligible for a continuation period of up to 18 months from the
                date of Your employment termination (or work hours reduction).

3.      If, after the occurrence of any event described in Right to COBRA
        Continuation Coverage above, You, Your spouse and/or Your dependents are
        allowed to continue Health Care coverage under the Plan (whether or not
        premium payment(s) are required) beyond the Plan's Termination of
        Coverage provision for any reason other than to comply with the federal
        law (i.e., state laws mandating continuation coverage, or the Plan's
        special provisions), such continuation period(s) will be used to reduce
        the maximum length of COBRA continuation coverage period otherwise
        available to such person under this section.

NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

1.      If Your spouse or dependent becomes eligible for continuation coverage
        due to divorce, legal separation or the end of dependency status, the
        Plan Administrator must be notified within 60 days after Your spouse or
        dependent becomes eligible. That person will distribute necessary forms
        and explain this continuation in more detail.

        If the Plan Administrator is not notified within 60 days of the event
        that makes Your spouse or dependent eligible for continuation coverage,
        Your spouse or dependent will lose the right to such coverage.

        In order for a child born to or placed for adoption with You during Your
        COBRA continuation coverage to have the right to COBRA continuation
        coverage, You must notify the plan administrator of the child's birth or
        placement for adoption within the time frame as prescribed by law.

                       YOUR RIGHTS UNDER ERISA - CONTINUED

2.      In order for a Disabled person and such person's family members
        continuing under the 18-month continuation coverage to be entitled to an
        extended continuation period of 11 additional months, such person must
        meet the notice requirements and all other conditions described under
        Extensions of Continuation Coverage in 2.a. above.

        A person continuing under the 11 -month extended continuation coverage
        must notify the Plan Administrator within 30 days if the Social Security
        Administration determines that the disability ceases to exist.

TERMINATION OF COBRA CONTINUATION COVERAGE

        Your Employer may require You, Your spouse and Your dependents to pay
        for the cost of the continuation coverage. If these amounts are not paid
        within the time allowed, the continuation coverage will end.

        Four other reasons that this continuation coverage may terminate before
        the full maximum continuation period runs out are:

1.      the continued person first becomes, after the date of COBRA continuation
        coverage election, entitled to Medicare benefits;

2.      the Employer stops providing any group health plan benefits program for
        employees;

3.      the continued person first becomes, after the date of COBRA continuation
        coverage election, covered under another group health plan, and any
        preexisting conditions exclusions or limitations of that plan do not
        apply to or are satisfied by such person;

4.      with respect to any person continuing under the 11-month extended
        continuation coverage (as described under Extensions of Continuation
        Coverage in 2.a. above), when the Social Security Administration
        determines that the disability ceases to exist (the termination becomes
        effective as of the first day of the month which is at least 31 days
        after the Social Security determination).

CONVERSION PRIVILEGE

        Persons who have exhausted their maximum continuation coverage period
will be eligible for the Conversion Privilege described in the group health
plan.

GENERAL INFORMATION

        This Federal Continuation Coverage section does not amend or change the
Plan's Termination of Coverage provision. It simply provides a continuation of
coverage right Your Employer is required to offer by law. If We, the
Policyholder or Your Employer terminates this Plan before or during a
continuation period, continuation coverage, if any, will not be under this Plan
and may not be through Us.
