                          DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND
                          SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN

                           As Amended and Restated
                          Effective April 13, 2000

                                 ARTICLE I

                            PREAMBLE AND PURPOSE

      I.1   PREAMBLE.  Effective December 5, 1995, Tenet Healthcare
Corporation (the "Company") adopted the Tenet Executive Deferred Compensation
and Supplemental Savings Plan (the "Plan") in order to attract and retain a
select group of management or highly compensated employees and members of the
Board of Directors of the Company. In addition to this Plan, the Company
sponsors certain broad-based employee benefit plans covering its employees.

      Effective December 31, 1995, the Company terminated two prior
nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the National Medical Enterprises
Deferred Compensation Plan (the "NME Plan") and the AMI Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "AMI Plan"). The individual participant bookkeeping
accounts under the NME Plan were merged into and transferred to this Plan and
governed by the terms of this Plan document; provided, however, that this
Plan will honor any "Term Elections" made under the NME Plan prior to
December 31, 1995. Benefits under the AMI Plan will continue to be maintained
and distributed pursuant to the terms of that plan. In addition, the Company
amended and restated the trust agreement for the NME Deferred Compensation
Plan Trust, now known as the Tenet Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
Trust, so that such trust serve as a source of funds for the payment of
benefits under both this Plan as well as the NME Plan. The grantor trust
previously established with respect to the AMI Plan will continue to serve as
a source of funds for the AMI Plan. As discussed more fully below, despite
the existence of such trusts, benefits from the Plan, the NME Plan and the
AMI Plan are, and will continue to be, "unfunded" for purposes of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (the "Act"), and
participants in such plans shall be general unsecured creditors of the
Company with respect to the payment of such benefits.

      I.2   PURPOSE.   Through this Plan, the Company intends to permit the
deferral of compensation and to provide additional benefits to a select group
of management or highly compensated employees of the Company. Accordingly, it
is intended that this Plan shall not constitute a "qualified plan" subject to
the limitations of section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), nor shall it constitute a "funded plan", for purposes
of such requirements. It is also intended that this Plan shall be exempt from
the participation and vesting requirements of Part 2 of Title 1 of the Act, the
funding requirements of Part 3 of Title 1 of the Act, and the fiduciary
requirements of part 4 of Title 1 of the Act by reason of the exclusions
afforded plans which are unfunded and maintained by an employer primarily for
the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees.

                                                                          Page 1

                            ARTICLE III

                      PARTICIPATION AND VESTING

      III.1  ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION.  It is intended that eligibility
to participate in the Plan shall be limited to a select group of management
or highly compensated employees, as determined by the PAC, in its sole and
absolute discretion.  Prior to the beginning of each Plan year, each
Eligible Employee will be contacted and informed that he may elect to defer
portions of his Compensation and/or Bonus and shall be provided with a
Deferred Compensation Agreement and Beneficiary Designation Form.  An
Eligible Employee shall become a Participant by making a deferral election
pursuant to Section 4.1.  Eligibility to become a Participant for any Plan
Year shall not entitle an Employee to continue as an active Participant for
any subsequent Plan Year.

      If an Eligible Employee is hired during the Plan Year and designated by
the PAC to be a Participant for such year, such Employee may elect to
participate in the Plan for the remainder of such Plan Year by making a
deferral election pursuant to Section 4.1.  Such an Eligible Employee will be
provided with a Deferred Compensation Agreement and Beneficiary Designation
Form.  Designation as a Participant for the Plan Year in which he is hired
shall not entitle the Employee to continue as an active Participant for any
subsequent Plan Year.

      A Participant under this Plan who separates from employment with the
Company, or who ceases to be an active member of the Board, will continue as
an inactive Participant under this Plan until the Participant has received
payment of all amounts payable to him under this Plan.  In the event that an
Employee shall cease active participation in the Plan because the Employee is
no longer described as a Participant pursuant to this Section 3.1, or because
he shall cease making deferrals of Compensation and/or Bonuses, the Employee
shall continue as an inactive Participant under this Plan until he has
received payment of all amounts payable to him under this Plan.

      III.2  VESTING.  Except as provided in Section 5.2 (Pre-Termination
Distributions), Section 5.8 (Method of Payment) and 6.1 (Spousal Claims), a
Participant shall at all times have a nonforfeitable right to amounts
credited to his Account pursuant to Section 4.3, subject to the distribution
provisions of Article V.  Further, as provided in Section 7.2, however, each
Participant shall be a general creditor of the Company or the Participant's
employing Affiliate with respect to the payment of any benefit under this
Plan.

      IV.1   DEFERRAL.  An Eligible Employee who is designated by the PAC to
be a Participant for a Plan Year, may become a Participant for such Plan Year
by electing to defer Compensation and/or his Bonus pursuant to a Deferred
Compensation Agreement.  Such Deferred Compensation Agreement shall be
entered into prior to the first day of the Plan Year for which the Deferred
Compensation Agreement is effective or, in the case of an Eligible Employee
who is hired during such Plan Year, such Deferred Compensation Agreement
shall be entered into within thirty (30) days after the Eligible Employee is
provided with notice of his eligibility to participate in the Plan and

                                                                         Page 6

shall only be effective with respect to Compensation and/or Bonuses earned
after the date such Deferred Compensation Agreement is received by the Plan
Administrator. A Participant's Deferred Compensation Agreement shall only be
effective with respect to a single Plan Year and shall be irrevocable for the
duration of such Plan Year. Deferral elections for each subsequent Plan Year
of participation shall be made pursuant to new Deferred Compensation
Agreements.

        On each Deferred Compensation Agreement, the Participant shall
specify the form in which Compensation and/or Bonuses deferred under the Plan
shall be paid. All amounts deferred under the Plan shall be payable to the
Participant in the form of benefit payment elected on his most recent
Deferred Compensation Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions
of this Plan. If the Participant elects a different form of benefit payment
on a subsequent Deferred Compensation Agreement, such form of payment
election shall supersede any prior benefit payment elections made on an
earlier Deferred Compensation Agreement.

        Four types of deferrals may be made under the Plan:

                 (a)      BASIC DEFERRAL. Each Eligible Employee may elect to
defer a stated dollar amount, or designated full percentage, of Compensation
to the Plan up to a maximum percentage of seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Employee's Compensation for such Plan Year. The Company shall not make any
Matching Contributions with respect to any Basic Deferrals made to the Plan.

                 (b)      BONUS DEFERRAL. Each Eligible Employee may elect to
defer a stated dollar amount, or designated full percentage, of his Bonus to
the Plan up to a maximum percentage of one hundred percent (100%) of the
Employee's Bonus for such Plan Year. The Company shall not make any Matching
Contributions with respect to any Bonus Deferrals made to the Plan.
                 (c)      SUPPLEMENTAL DEFERRAL. Each Eligible Employee may
elect to make Supplemental Deferrals to the Plan in accordance with the
following provisions of this Section 4.1(d).

                          (i)      STATUTORY LIMITS. Each Eligible
        Employee who is also a participant in the 401(k) Plan may elect to
        automatically, have three percent (3%) of his Compensation deferred
        under the Plan when he reaches any of the following statutory
        limitations under the 401(k) Plan:  (A) the one hundred fifty
        thousand dollar ($150,000) limitation on Compensation under Section
        401(a)(17) of the Code, as such limit is adjusted for cost of living
        increases; (B) the seven thousand dollar ($7,000) limitation imposed
        on elective deferrals under Section 402(g) of the Code, as such limit
        is adjusted for cost of living increases; (C) the limitations on
        contributions and benefits under Section 415 of the Code; or (D) the
        limitations on contributions imposed by the 401(k) Plan administrator
        in order to satisfy the limitations on contributions under sections
        401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.

                          (ii)     BONUS. Each Eligible Employee who is also
        a participant in the 401(k) Plan may elect to automatically, have
        three percent (3%) of his Bonus deferred under the Plan as a
        Supplemental Deferral without regard to the statutory limitations
        under the 401(k) Plan described in Section 4.2(d)(i). This
        Supplemental Deferral shall be applied to that portion of the
        Eligible Employee's Bonus in excess of that deferred as a Bonus
        Deferral under Section 4.2(b). For example, if the Eligible Employee
        elects to defer 50 percent of his Bonus under Section 4.2(b) and also
        elects to make a Supplemental Deferral under this Section 4.2(c),
        fifty percent (50%) of the Eligible Employee's Bonus will be deferred
        under Section 4.2(b) and three percent (3%) of the Eligible
        Employee's Bonus will be deferred under this Section 4.2(c).

                                                                          Page 7
<PAGE>

                          (iii)    401(k) PLAN BEFORE-TAX SAVINGS
        CONTRIBUTION ELIGIBILITY. Each Employee who elects to participate in
        this Plan prior to the date on which he becomes eligible to make
        before-tax savings contributions to the 401(k) Plan, may elect, until
        such 401(k) Plan before-tax contribution eligibility date, to defer
        three percent (3%) of his Compensation under the Plan as a
        Supplemental Deferral for such Plan Year. Upon the Employee's 401(k)
        Plan before-tax contribution eligibility date, his Supplemental
        Deferrals under this Section 4.2(d)(iii) shall cease and any
        subsequent Supplemental Deferrals shall only be made by the Employee
        pursuant to Section 4.2(d)(i) or Section 4.2(d)(ii), as applicable.

                 (d)      DISCRETIONARY DEFERRAL. The PAC may authorize an
Eligible Employee to defer a stated dollar amount, or designated full
percentage, of Compensation to the Plan as a Discretionary Deferral. The PAC,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may limit the amount or percentage of
Compensation an Eligible Employee may defer to the Plan as a Discretionary
Deferral. The Company shall not make any Matching Contributions pursuant to
Section 4.2(a) with respect to any Discretionary Deferrals, but may elect to
make Discretionary Contribution to the Plan with respect to such
Discretionary Deferrals in the form of a discretionary matching contribution
as described in Section 4.2(b).

        IV.2     COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS.

                 (a)      MATCHING CONTRIBUTION. The Company shall make a
Matching Contribution to the Plan each Plan Year of behalf of each
Participant who makes a Supplemental Deferral to the Plan. Such Matching
Contribution shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's
Supplemental Deferrals for such Plan Year. In addition, the Company shall
make a Matching Contribution to the Plan for the Plan Year on behalf of each
Participant who is eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan but is not
eligible to receive an employer matching contribution under the 401(k) Plan
by reason of the one (1) year eligibility service requirement. Such Matching
Contribution shall equal three percent (3%) of the Participant's Compensation
earned during the period beginning on the date on which the Participant first
becomes eligible to make before-tax savings contributions to the 401(k) Plan
and ending on the date the Participant first becomes eligible to receive an
employer matching contribution under the 401(k) Plan.

                 (b)      DISCRETIONARY CONTRIBUTION. Effective September 1,
1997, the Company may elect to make a Discretionary Contribution to the Plan
for a Plan Year in such amount, if any, as shall be determined by the (i)
Pension Committee, for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2000, and (ii)
Compensation Committee, for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2000.
Such Discretionary Contribution may be made in the form of a discretionary
matching contribution or a discretionary profit sharing contribution. Amounts
representing Discretionary Contributions shall be determined and credited to
each Participant's individual Account at such times and in such amounts as
determined by (A) the Pension Committee for Plan Years beginning before
January 1, 2000 and (B) the Compensation Committee for Plan Years beginning
on and after January 1, 2000. Further, effective January 1, 1999, the amount
of Discretionary Contribution shall be based on the Compensation, including
any Bonus, paid to a Participant for such Plan Year, and shall be determined
by the (1) Pension Committee, for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 1999 and
ending December 31, 1999, and (2) Compensation Committee, for Plan Years
beginning on and after January 1, 2000, by the end of the Plan Year prior to
the Plan Year for which the contribution is to be made.

                                                                          Page 8
<PAGE>

        IV.3     ACCOUNTING FOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION. The Plan Administrator
shall establish and maintain an individual Account under the name of each
Participant under the Plan. Each Account shall be adjusted at least
quarterly to reflect the Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental
Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Discretionary
Contributions credited thereto, earnings credited on such Basic Deferrals,
Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals, Matching
Contributions and Discretionary Contributions pursuant to Section 4.4, and
any payment or withdrawal of such Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals,
Supplemental Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals, Matching Contributions and
Discretionary Contributions under this Plan. The amounts of Basic Deferrals,
Bonus Deferrals, Supplemental Deferrals, Discretionary Deferrals, and any
Matching Contributions shall be credited to the Participant's Account at such
time as such Compensation or Bonus would have been paid to the Participant
had the Participant not elected to defer such amount pursuant to the terms
and provisions of the Plan. Any Discretionary Contributions shall be credited
to each Participant's individual account at such times as determined by the
Pension Committee for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2000 and the
Compensation Committee for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2000.
Each such Account shall be credited with earnings computed pursuant to
Section 4.4 in the manner specified by Section 4.4. In the sole discretion of
the Plan Administrator, more than one Account may be established for each
Participant to facilitate record keeping convenience and accuracy. Each such
Account shall be credited and adjusted as provided in this Plan. Amounts
credited to such Accounts shall be held with the general assets of the
Company and, as provided in Section 7.2, shall be subject to the claims of
the Company's and its Affiliates' general creditors.

        Establishment and maintenance of a separate Account or Accounts for
each Participant shall not be construed as giving any person any interest in
assets of the Company or an Affiliate, or a right to payment other than as
provided under this Plan. Such Accounts shall be maintained until all amounts
credited as such Account have been distributed in accordance with the terms
and provisions of this Plan.

        IV.4     COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS CREDITED. All Accounts will be
credited with a uniform rate of interest. The annual rate of interest shall
equal one percent (1%) below the prime interest rate as stated in the Wall
Street Journal. Prior to January 1, 1999, interest shall be credited at the
end of each quarter based on the Account balance at the beginning of the
applicable quarter. Effective on and after January 1, 1999, interest will be
credited at the end of each payroll period based on the Account balance on
the beginning of the applicable payroll period.

                                   ARTICLE V

                            DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

        V.1      DEEMED DISTRIBUTIONS. At the election of a Participant as
evidenced in his Deferred Compensation Agreement, a Participant may make
Basic Deferrals and/or Bonus Deferrals, pursuant to Section 4.1 for a stated
period of time, rather than Basic Deferrals and/or Bonus Deferrals until his
separation from employment or cessation as an active member of the Board.
Such election must be made in the Participant's Deferred Compensation
Agreement. The minimum required period for such deferrals under the Plan
shall be at least one (1) Plan Year following the end of the Plan Year for
which a Basic Deferral and/or Bonus Deferral election is effective. The
amount to be distributed pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be a lump sum
distribution in any even percentage up to one hundred percent (100%) of the
Participant's Basic Deferral and/or Bonus

                                                                          Page 9

<PAGE>

Deferral plus earnings thereon, but not more than the balance of the
Participant's Account at the time of the distribution. In the event that a
Participant shall separate from employment, cease to be an active member of
the Board or die prior to the date upon which a Basic Deferral and/or Bonus
Deferral for a specific term is to be paid, the term Basic Deferral and/or
Bonus Deferral election shall be canceled, and the Participant's Account
balance shall be distributed to the Participant or his Beneficiary following
such separation from employment or death pursuant to Section 5.8 (Method of
Payment).

    V.2   PRE-TERMINATION DISTRIBUTION. At any time preceding the calendar
year in which a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution in accordance
with Section 5.1 (Deemed Distributions), Section 5.3 (Termination
Distributions), Section 5.4 (Financial Necessity Distributions), Section 5.5
(Elective Distributions), Section 5.6 (Death) or Section 5.7 (Disability),
the Participant may elect to receive a lump sum payment in an amount up to
the Participant's Account balance, as of the date the distribution request is
received by the Plan Administrator, less the "forfeiture amount." For
purposes of this Section 5.2, the "forfeiture amount" shall equal ten percent
(10%) of the Participant's lump sum payment. In addition, if the Participant
elects to receive a lump sum distribution under this Section 5.2, all Basic
Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and Discretionary Deferrals with respect to such
Participant under this Plan shall cease for a period of twelve (12) months
commencing on the date on which the lump sum distribution is made to the
Participant, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or Deferred
Compensation Agreement to the contrary. After the expiration of such twelve
(12) month period, the Participant's Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and
Discretionary Deferrals may recommence during the next Plan Year, provided
the Participant remains eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to
Section 3.1 and enters into a new Deferred Compensation Agreement. During the
twelve (12) month period of suspension, as well as the period preceding the
Participant's recommencement of Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and/or
Discretionary Deferrals for the next Plan Year, the Participant may continue
to make Supplemental Deferrals to the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1(c) and
receive a Matching Contribution with respect to such deferrals pursuant to
Section 4.2(a). Such Participant shall also remain eligible to receive a
Discretionary Contribution, if any, pursuant to Section 4.2(b).

    The foregoing penalties shall not apply if the PAC determines, based on
the advise of counsel or a final determination by the Internal Revenue
Service or any court of competent jurisdiction, that by reason of the
foregoing elective provisions of this Section 5.2 any Participant has
recognized or will recognize gross income for federal income tax purposes
under the Plan in advance of payment to him of Plan benefits. The PAC shall
notify all Participants of any such determination. Wherever any such
determination is made, the Company shall refund all forfeiture penalties which
were imposed hereunder on account of making lump sum distributions at any
time during or after the first year to which the determination applies (i.e.,
the first year when gross income is recognized for federal income tax
purposes). Interest shall be paid on any such refunds based on an interest
factor determined under Section 4.4. The PAC may also reduce or eliminate the
forfeiture penalty or the requirement that Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals
and/or Supplemental Deferrals be suspended if it determines that this action
will not cause any Participant to recognize gross income for federal income
tax purposes under this Plan in advance of payment to him of Plan benefits.

    V.3   TERMINATION DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event that a Participant shall
separate from employment or cease to be an active member of the Board for any
reason other than death prior to becoming entitled to distribution other than
under Section 5.1 (Deemed Distributions), Section 5.4 (Financial Necessity
Distributions) or Section 5.5 (Elective Distributions), distribution of all
amounts credited to the Participant's Account shall be made as soon as
practicable following the

                                                                     Page 10

<PAGE>

Participant's termination from employment or termination as an active member
of the Board, as provided in accordance with the terms and provisions of
Section 5.8 (Method of Payment).

    V.4   FINANCIAL NECESSITY DISTRIBUTIONS.

          (a)    UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY.  Upon application by the
Participant, the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
direct payment of all or a portion of the Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals
and/or Discretionary Deferrals credited to the Account of a Participant prior
to his separation from employment or termination as an active member of the
Board in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency.

          Effective May 1, 1998, in addition to the deferrals specified in
this Section 5.4(a), upon application by the Participant, the Plan
Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may direct payment of
all or a portion of the Supplemental Deferrals credited to the Account of the
Participant prior to his separation from employment or termination as an
active member of the Board in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Such
application and payment shall be subject to the same conditions and
limitations as a request for any other payment of deferrals under this
Section 5.4.

          (b)    FORESEEABLE EMERGENCY.  Effective January 1, 1999, upon
application by the Participant, the Plan Administrator, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may direct payment of all or a portion of the Basic
Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and/or Discretionary Deferrals credited to the
Account of a Participant prior to his separation from employment or
termination as an active member of the Board on the event of an Foreseeable
Emergency.  Any such application shall set forth the circumstances
constituting such Foreseeable Emergency.

          (c)    GENERAL RULES REGARDING FINANCIAL NECESSITY DISTRIBUTIONS.
The Plan Administrator may not direct payment of any Basic Deferrals, Bonus
Deferrals, Supplemental Deferrals, and/or Discretionary Deferrals credited to
the Account of a Participant to the extent that such an Emergency is or may
be relieved (i) by reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or
(ii) by cessation of Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and/or Discretionary
Deferrals under this Plan.  In the event that the Plan Administrator, in its
sole and absolute discretion, shall determine that such Emergency may be
alleviated by such cessation of deferrals under the Plan, the Plan
Administrator shall deny such financial necessity distribution and require
the cancellation of the Participant's Basic Deferral, Bonus Deferral and/or
Discretionary Deferral elections for the Plan Year in which an Emergency
shall occur.  Conversely, if the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall determine that such Emergency may not be alleviated by such
cessation Basic Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and/or Discretionary Deferrals,
it may approve such financial hardship distribution. Any distribution from
the Plan due to Emergency shall be permitted only to the extent necessary to
satisfy such Emergency, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan
Administrator, both with respect to the determination as to whether an
Emergency exists and also with respect to determination of the amount
distributable.  The Plan Administrator may permit a financial necessity
distribution under this Section 5.4 but as a result may cancel the Basic
Deferral, Bonus Deferral and/or Discretionary Deferral elections of the
Participant in whole or in part, for the Plan Year.

    V.5   ELECTIVE DISTRIBUTIONS.  A Participant may elect to receive a
distribution of amounts credited to his Account upon a determination by the
Internal Revenue Service or a state taxing authority of competent
jurisdiction that amounts credited to such Account are subject to inclusion

                                                                     Page 11

<PAGE>

in the gross income of such Participant or Beneficiary for federal or state
income tax purposes.  Neither the PAC nor the Plan Administrator shall have
any obligation to determine whether any such determination is or has been
made with respect to any Participant and shall assume that no such
determination has been made until advised by the Participant, in writing,
that such determination has been made and that either such determination is
final and binding, or that obtaining judicial review of such determination is
not reasonably likely to result in a reversal of such determination or is
economically prohibitive.

    V.6   DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT.  In the event of the death of a Participant
prior to distribution of all amounts otherwise payable to the Participant
under this Plan, the Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be
entitled to distribution of all the benefits credited to the Participant's
Account, pursuant to Section 5.8 (Method of Payment).  Each Participant may
designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive payment of his benefits
under this Plan in the event of his death as provided in Section 1.2(f) and
in accordance with such procedures as the Plan Administrator shall promulgate.

    V.7   DISABILITY OF A PARTICIPANT.  In the event of the Disability of the
Participant, the Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of all the
benefits credited to the Participant's Account, pursuant to Section 5.8
(Method of Payment).

    V.8   METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Distributions pursuant to Section 5.3
(Termination Distributions), Section 5.6 (Death) or Section 5.7 (Disability)
shall be made in any of the following forms, as elected by the Participant in
his Deferred Compensation Agreement:

          (a)   In a single lump sum cash payment;

          (b)   In substantially equal installments over a period of five (5)
years;
          (c)   In substantially equal installments over a period of ten (10)
years; or
          (d)   In substantially equal installments over a period of fifteen
(15) years.

Payment shall commence as soon as administratively feasible but not longer
that ninety (90) days after the end of the Plan Year of the occurrence of the
event causing the distribution, with interest continuing to accrue pursuant
to Section 4.4 hereof until the full amount credited to the Participant's
Account is paid.

    Distributions to a Participant pursuant to Section 5.1 (Deemed
Distributions), Section 5.2 (Pre-Termination Distributions), Section 5.4
(Financial Necessity Distributions) and Section 5.5 (Elective Distributions)
shall be made in a lump sum.  Such lump sum payment shall be made as soon as
administratively feasible following occurrence of the event causing the
entitlement to distribution.

    With the consent of the PAC, in its sole and absolute discretion, a
Participant or Beneficiary who has elected to receive, or is in pay status
and currently is receiving, annual installment distributions over a five (5),
ten (10) or fifteen (15) year period, may elect during any calendar year to
accelerate the payment of the annual installment distributions payable to him
for the remaining calendar years in such five (5), ten (10) or fifteen (15)
year period.  If approved by the PAC, in its sole and absolute discretion,
payment of the accelerated installment distributions shall be made in

                                                                     Page 12

<PAGE>

a lump sum to the Participant or Beneficiary no earlier than the first day of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which the accelerated payment
election is made.

     If the PAC denies a Participant's request for a lump sum distribution of
his remaining annual installments, the Participant may elect to receive a
lump sum distribution of the remainder of such installment payments less the
"forfeiture amount". The "forfeiture amount" equals ten percent (10%) of
the Participant's Account balance as of the date the Participant's lump sum
distribution election is received by the PAC.

     V.9   WITHHOLDING. Any taxes or other legally required withholdings from
Compensation and Bonus deferrals and/or payments to Participants or
Beneficiaries hereunder shall be deducted and withheld by the Company,
benefit provider or funding agent as required pursuant to applicable law. A
Participant or Beneficiary shall be provided with a tax withholding election
form for purposes of federal and state tax withholding, if applicable.

     V.10  SUSPENSION OF BENEFITS. If a Participant terminates service and
begins receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.3 (Termination
Distributions) or Section 5.7 (Disability) in the form of installments of
over a five (5), ten (10) or fifteen (15) year period and such Participant is
reemployed by the Company, then such Participant's installment distributions
shall be suspended during the period of his reemployment. Upon the
Participant's subsequent termination of service, such installment
distributions shall recommence in the same form as they were being paid
before the suspension, unless:

           (a)   during the period of the Participant's reemployment he is
eligible to participate in the Plan and elects a different form of payment in
his Deferred Compensation Agreement;

           (b)   with the consent of the PAC, in its sole and absolute
discretion, the Participant elects during any calendar year to accelerate the
payment of the annual installment distributions payable to him for the
remaining calendar years in such five (5), ten (10), or fifteen (15) year
period; or

           (c)   if the PAC denies a Participant's request for a lump sum
distribution of his remaining annual installments, the Participant elects to
receive a lump sum distribution of the remainder of such installment payments
less the "forfeiture amount."

The "forfeiture amount" equals ten percent (10%) of the Participant's
Account balance as of the date of the Participant's lump sum distribution
election is received by the Plan Administrator.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                             PAYMENT LIMITATIONS

     VI.1  SPOUSAL CLAIMS. The Plan will recognize a court order entered into
pursuant to state domestic relations law which provides that all or a portion
of a Participant's benefit under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's
spouse or former spouse for child support, spousal maintenance or alimony.
Any benefits payable to a spouse or former spouse pursuant to such an order
shall be subject to all provisions and restrictions of this Plan and any
dispute regarding such benefits shall be resolved pursuant to the Plan claims
procedure in Article VIII. A former spouse

                                                                        Page 13
<PAGE>

shall have no claim to any benefits under the Plan unless the spouse's
entitlement to such benefits is specified in such a court order. Any payment
of benefits under the Plan to a former spouse pursuant to such an order shall
be made as soon as administratively feasible after the order is accepted by
the Plan Administrator, but not longer than ninety (90) days after the end of
the Plan Year in which the order is accepted by the Plan Administrator.

Any taxes or other legally required withholdings from payments to such former
spouse shall be deducted and withheld by the Company, benefit provider or
funding agent. The former spouse shall be provided with a tax withholding
election form for purposes of federal and state tax withholding, if
applicable.

No order shall be accepted by the Plan Administrator which requires the Plan
to provide any type or form of benefit, or any option, not otherwise provided
under the Plan, which requires the Plan to provide increased benefits, or
which requires payment of benefits to such former spouse under the order
which are required to be paid to another former spouse under another order
previously accepted by the Plan Administrator. The order must clearly specify
information sufficient for the Plan Administrator to determine the plan to
which it relates and the amount and person to whom benefits are payable. The
Plan Administrator shall have sole and absolute discretion to determine
whether such a court order shall be accepted for purposes of this Section 6.1
and to make interpretations under this Section 6.1, including determining who
is to receive benefits, all calculations of benefits, and the amount of taxes
to be withheld. The decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be binding on
all parties of interest.

     VI.2  LEGAL DISABILITY. If a person entitled to any payment under this
Plan shall, in the sole judgment of the Plan Administrator, be under a legal
disability, or shall otherwise be unable to apply such payment to his own
interest and advantage, the Plan Administrator, in the exercise of its
discretion, may direct the Company or payor of the benefit to make any such
payment in any one (1) or more of the following ways:

           (a)   Directly to such person;

           (b)   To his legal guardian or conservator; or

           (c)   To his spouse or to any person charged with the duty of his
support, to be expended for his benefit and/or that of his dependents.

The decision of the Plan Administrator shall in each case be final and
binding upon all persons in interest, unless the Plan Administrator shall
reverse its decision due to changed circumstances.

     VI.3  ASSIGNMENT. Except as provided in Section 6.1, no Participant or
Beneficiary shall have any right to assign, pledge, hypothecate, anticipate
or any way create a lien on any amounts payable hereunder. No amounts payable
hereunder shall be subject to assignment or transfer or otherwise be
alienable, either by voluntary act, or by operation of law, or subject to
attachment, execution, garnishment, sequestration or other seizure under any
legal, equitable or other process, or be liable in any way for the debts or
defaults of Participants and their Beneficiaries.

                              ARTICLE VII

                                                                       Page 14

                               FUNDING

     VII.1 FUNDING. Benefits under this Plan shall be funded solely by the
Company and its Affiliates. Benefits under this Plan shall constitute an
unfunded general obligation of the Company, but the Company may create
reserves, funds and/or provide for amounts to be held in trust to fund such
benefits on the Company's behalf. Payment of benefits may be made by the
Company, any trust established by the Company or through a service or benefit
provider to the Company or such trust.

     VII.2 CREDITOR STATUS. A Participant and his Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries shall be general unsecured creditors of the Company or the
Participant's employing Affiliate with respect to the payment of any benefit
under this Plan, unless such benefits are provided under a contract of
insurance or an annuity contract that has been delivered to the Participant,
in which case the Participant and his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall look
to the issuance carrier or annuity provider for payment, and not to the
Company or Affiliate. The Company's or Affiliate's obligation for such
benefit shall be discharged by the purchase and delivery of such annuity or
insurance contract.

                             ARTICLE VIII

                            ADMINISTRATION

     VIII.1 THE PAC. The overall administration of the Plan will be the

           (b)   To review and render decisions respecting a denial of a

           (d)   To determine and resolve in its sole and absolute discretion
all questions relating to the administration of the Plan and the grantor
trust established to serve as a source of funds for the Plan (i) when
differences of opinion arise between the Employer, the Plan Administrator,
the Trustee, a Participant, or any of them and (ii) whenever it is deemed
advisable to determine such questions in order to promote the uniform and
nondiscriminatory administration of the Plan for the greatest benefit of all
parties concerned.

The foregoing list of express powers is not intended to be either complete or
conclusive, and the PAC will, in addition, have such powers as it may
reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate in the performance of its
powers and duties under the Plan.

Administrator who will have the responsibility and duty to administer the
Plan on a daily basis. The PAC may remove the Plan Administrator with or

                                                                        Page 15

causes of action by or on behalf of any and all parties whomsoever, and all
losses therefrom, including, without limitation, costs of defense and
attorneys' fees, based upon or arising out of any act or omission relating to
or in connection with the Plan other than losses resulting from any such
person's fraud or willful misconduct.

     VIII.6  CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS.

             (a)   INITIAL CLAIM.  In the event that a Participant or his
Beneficiary claims to be eligible for benefits, or claims any rights under
this Plan, he must complete and submit such claims forms and supporting
documentation as shall be required by the Plan Administrator, in its sole
discretion. All benefits provided in this Plan will be paid as soon as
practicable (following receipt of proof of entitlement, if requested). Any
Employee or other person claiming benefits, eligibility, participation or any
other right or benefit under the Plan must file a written claim, setting
forth the basis of the claim, with the Plan Administrator. Likewise, any
Employee or Beneficiary who feels unfairly treated as a result of the
administration of the Plan, must file a written claim, setting forth the
basis of the claim, with the Plan Administrator. In connection with the
determination of such a claim, or in connection with review of a denied
claim, the claimant may examine this Plan and any other pertinent documents
generally available to Participants which are specifically related to the
claim. A written notice of the disposition of any such claim shall be
furnished to the claimant within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed
with the Plan Administrator. Such notice shall refer, if appropriate, to
pertinent provisions of this Plan, shall set forth in writing the reasons for
denial of the claim if a claim is denied (including references to any
pertinent provisions of this Plan) and, where appropriate, shall explain how
the claimant can perfect the claim. If the claim is denied, in whole or in
part, the claimant shall also be notified in writing that a review procedure
is available.

             (b)   REQUEST FOR REVIEW.  Within ninety (90) days after
receiving the written notice of the Plan Administrator's disposition of the
claim, the claimant may file, with the PAC, a written request for review of
his claim. In connection with the request for review, the claimant shall be
entitled to be represented by counsel. If the claimant does not file a
written request for review within ninety (90) days after receiving written
notice of the Plan Administrator's disposition of the claim, the claimant
shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan Administrator's written disposition,
unless the claimant shall have been physically or mentally incapacitated so
as to be unable to request review within the ninety (90) day period.

             (c)   DECISION ON REVIEW.  A decision on review of the claim by
the PAC shall be made at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the PAC,
unless the request is filed within thirty (30) days of this date, in which
case such request will be reviewed at the next regularly scheduled meeting of
the PAC. IF special circumstances require an extension of the ordinary
period, the PAC

                                                                         Page 17
<PAGE>

shall so notify the claimant and a decision shall be rendered not later than
the third regularly scheduled meeting of the PAC following the receipt of the
request for review. In any event, if a claim is not determined by the third
regularly scheduled meeting of the PAC after receipt of written submission
for review, it shall be deemed to be denied. The PAC shall have the right to
request of and receive from a claimant such additional information, documents
or other evidence as the PAC may reasonably require. The decision of the PAC
shall be in writing and shall reference the provisions of the Plan on which
the decision is based. To the extent permitted by law, a decision on review
by the PAC shall be binding and conclusive upon all persons whomsoever.

             (d)   EXHAUSTION OF CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURES.  To the extent
permitted by law, completion of the claims procedures described in this
Section 8.6 and of the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 8.7 shall
be a mandatory precondition that must be complied with prior to the
commencement of a legal or equitable action by a person claiming rights under
the Plan. The PAC may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive these
claims and arbitration procedures as a mandatory condition to such an action.

     VIII.7  ARBITRATION.  In the event the claims review procedure described
in Section 8.6 of the Plan does not result in an outcome thought by the
claimant to be in accordance with the Plan document, he may appeal to a third
party neutral arbitrator. The claimant must appeal to an arbitrator within
sixty (60) days after receiving the PAC's denial or deemed denial of his
request for review and before bringing suite in court.

     The arbitrator shall be mutually selected by the Participant and the PAC
from a list of arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association
("AAA"). If the parties are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator
within ten (10) days of receiving the list from the AAA, the AAA shall
appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator's review shall be limited to
interpretation of the Plan document in the context of the particular facts
involved. The claimant, the PAC and the Company agree to accept the award of
the arbitrator as binding, and all exercises of power by the arbitrator
hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties,
unless found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final judgment that is
no longer subject to review or appeal, to be arbitrary and capricious. The
cost of arbitration shall be shared by the Company and the claimant; the costs
of legal representation for the claimant or witness costs for the claimant
shall be borne by the claimant.

     The arbitrator shall have no power to add to, subtract from, or modify
any of the terms of the Plan, or to change or add to any benefits provided by
the Plan, or to waive or fail to apply any requirements of eligibility for a
benefit under the Plan. Nonetheless, the arbitrator shall have absolute
discretion in the exercise of its powers in this Plan. Arbitration decisions
will not establish binding precedent with respect to the administration or
operation of the Plan.

     VIII.8  RECEIPT AND RELEASE OF NECESSARY INFORMATION.  In implementing
the terms of this Plan, the PAC and Plan Administrator, as applicable, may,
without the consent of or notice to any person, release to or obtain from any
other insuring entity or other organization or person any information, with
respect to any person, which the PAC or Plan Administrator deems to be
necessary for such purpose. Any Participant or Beneficiary claiming benefits
under this Plan shall furnish to the PAC or Plan Administrator, as
applicable, such information as may be necessary to determine eligibility for
and amount of benefit, as a condition of claiming and receiving such benefit.

     VIII.9  OVERPAYMENT AND UNDERPAYMENT OF BENEFITS.  The Plan
Administrator may adopt, in its sole discretion, whatever rules, procedures
and accounting practices are appropriate in providing for the collection of
any overpayment of benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary receives an
underpayment of benefits, the Plan Administrator shall direct that payment be
made as soon as practicable to make up for the underpayment. If any
overpayment is made to a Participant or

                                                                         Page 18

<PAGE>

Beneficiary, for whatever reason, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole
discretion, withhold payment of any further benefits under the Plan until the
overpayment has been collected or may require repayment of benefits paid
under this Plan without regard to further benefits to which the Participant
or Beneficiary may be entitled.

                                ARTICLE IX

                    OTHER BENEFIT PLANS OF THE COMPANY

     IX.1   OTHER PLANS.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent a
Participant prior to his death, or his spouse or other Beneficiary after his
death, from receiving, in addition to any payments provided for under this
Plan, any payments provided for under any other plan or benefit program of
the Company or an Affiliate, or which would otherwise by payable or
distributable to him, his surviving spouse or Beneficiary under any plan or
policy of the Company or otherwise. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed
as preventing the Company or any of its Affiliates from establishing any
other or different plans providing for current or deferred compensation for
employees. Unless specifically provided otherwise in any plan of the Company
intended to "qualify" under section 401 of the Code, Compensation Deferrals
made under this Plan shall constitute earnings or compensation for purposes
of determining contributions or benefits under such qualified plan.

                                ARTICLE X

                  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     X.1   AMENDMENT.  The Compensation Committee may amend this Plan by
duly authorized written amendment; provided that no amendment or
modification shall deprive a Participant, or person claiming benefits under
this Plan through a Participant, of any benefit accrued under this Plan up to
the date of amendment or modification, except as may be required by
applicable law.

     X.2   TERMINATION.  The Compensation Committee may terminate or suspend
this Plan in whole or part at any time, provided that no such termination or
suspension shall deprive a Participant, or person claiming benefits under
this Plan through a Participant, of any benefit accrued under this Plan up to
the date of suspension or termination except as required by applicable law.
Upon the complete termination of the Plan, the Compensation Committee, in its
sole and absolute discretion, may direct the Plan Administrator to distribute
each Participant's account to him or his Beneficiary, as applicable, in a
lump sum and regardless of whether benefit payments have previously
commenced to be made to such Participant.

     X.3   CONTINUATION.  The Company intends to continue this Plan
indefinitely, but nevertheless assumes no contractual obligation beyond the
promise to pay the benefits described in this Plan.

                              ARTICLE XI

                             MISCELLANEOUS

                                                                         Page 19
<PAGE>

     XI.1   NO REDUCTION OF EMPLOYER RIGHTS.  Nothing contained in this Plan
shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Company or an
Affiliate and an Employee, or as a right of any Employee to be continued in
the employment of the Company or an Affiliate, or as a limitation of the
right of the Company or an Affiliate to discharge any of its Employees, with
or without cause or as a right of any member of the Board to be renominated
to serve as a member of the Board.

     XI.2   PROVISIONS BINDING.  All of the provisions of this Plan shall be
binding upon all persons who shall be entitled to any benefits hereunder,
their heirs and personal representatives.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Tenet Executive
Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Savings Plan as of this ______day of
_______________, 2000.

                                TENET EXECUTIVE
                       DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS TRUST

                           As Amended and Restated
                         Effective November 10, 1995

         This Trust Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of
this 10th day of November, 1995, by and between Tenet Healthcare Corporation,
formerly National Medical Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company") and United States Trust Company of New York (the "Trustee") with
reference to the following facts:

         A.      The Company previously adopted the National Medical
Enterprises, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "NME Plan") to provide
benefits to a select group of management employees and members of the
Company's Board of Directors ("Directors").

         B.      The Company previously established the NME Deferred
Compensation Plan Trust (the "Trust") to provide a source of funds for
benefits payable under the NME Plan.

         C.      The Company recently acquired the stock of American Medical
Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively "AMH") and employees of AMH
became employees of the Company;

         D.      AMH also maintains an executive deferred compensation plan,
known as the AMI Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "AMI Plan");

         E.      The Company has established a new executive deferred
compensation and excess benefit plan, known as the Tenet Executive Deferred
Compensation and Supplement Savings Plan (the "Tenet Plan"), effective
November 10, 1995, to provide benefits to both the employees and Directors of
the Company as well as former employees of AMI who are now employees of the
Company.

         F.      In connection with the adoption of the Tenet Plan, the
Company intends to terminate the NME Plan and the AMI Plan, effective
December 31, 1995.  The bookkeeping accounts established for participants
under the NME Plan will be merged into and transferred to the Tenet Plan and
maintained and distributed pursuant to the terms of the Tenet Plan. Benefits
under the AMI Plan will continue to be maintained and distributed pursuant to
the terms of that plan.

         G.      The Company desires to amend and restate the prior trust
agreement between the Company and the Trustee to enable the Trust to also
serve as a source of funds for benefits payable under the NME Plan and the
Tenet Plan; benefits under the AMI Plan will continue to be funded by the
grantor trust previously established with respect to that plan.

                                   Page 1

<PAGE>

     H.    The Company and its "Affiliates" (as defined under sections
414(b), (c) and (m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code")) have incurred and expect to continue to incur liability under the
terms of the NME Plan and the Tenet Plan (collectively the "Plans"), copies
of which are attached hereto as Exhibits A and B with respect to the
individuals participating in such Plans.

     I.    The Company desires to continue the Trust and to contribute to the
Trust assets that shall be held therein, subject to the claims of Company's
creditors in the event of Company's insolvency, as herein defined, until paid
to participants or their beneficiaries under the Plans in such manner and at
such times as specified in the Plans.

     J.    It is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall continue
to constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the
Plans as unfunded plans maintained for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees
for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA").

     K.    It is the intention of the Company to make contributions to the
Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of
its liabilities under the Plans.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby continue the Trust and agree that
the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:

                              ARTICLE I

                         CONTINUANCE OF TRUST

     1.1   The Company previously established the Trust, as an irrevocable
trust, and deposited with the Trustee in trust Five Hundred Thousand
(500,000) shares of the seven and one-half cents ($0.75) par value per share
common stock of the Company, as the principal of the Trust to be held,
administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Agreement.

     1.2   The Company shall contribute to the Trust such additional amounts
as the Company shall reasonably decide are necessary to provide for all
benefits payable under the Plans.

     1.3   The Trust is intended to continue to be a grantor trust, of which
the Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I,
subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Code and shall be construed
accordingly.

     1.4   The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon shall be held
separate and apart from other funds of the Company and shall be used
exclusively for uses and

                                                                       Page 2
<PAGE>

purposes of participants in the Plans and general creditors as herein set
forth. Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plans shall have no
preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of
the Trust. Any rights created under the Plans and this Agreement shall be
mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan participants and their
beneficiaries against Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject
to the claims of Company's general creditors under federal and state law in
the event of insolvency, as defined in Section 3.1 herein.

     1.5   Upon a Change of Control, as defined in Section 13.4 herein, and
on the last day of every calendar quarter commencing with the first calendar
quarter beginning after the month in which a Change of Control occurs (a
"Quarter"), the Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer
than thirty (30) days following the Change of Control and no longer than ten
(10) days after the end of each Quarter, make an irrevocable contribution to
the Trust in an amount that is sufficient together with all assets held by
the Trust as of such date to pay to each participant or beneficiary, on a
pre-tax basis, the benefits to which such participants or their beneficiaries
would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plans as of the date on which
the Change of Control occurred, and as of the last day of each Quarter. The
Company shall notify the Trustee immediately following verification that a
Change of Control has occurred.

                        PAYMENTS TO PLAN PARTICIPANTS
                           AND THEIR BENEFICIARIES

     2.1   The Company shall deliver to the Trustee a schedule (the "Payment
Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable with respect to each
participant (and his or her beneficiaries) under the Plans, that provides a
formula or other instructions acceptable to the Trustee for determining the
amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided
for or available under the Plans), and the time of commencement for payment
of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall make
payments to participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such
Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining the
accuracy of the amounts to be paid according to the Payment Schedule. The
Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any
federal, state or local taxes pursuant to the terms of the Plans and shall
pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that
such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by the Company.

     2.2   The entitlement of a participant or his or her beneficiaries to
benefits under the Plans shall be determined by the Company or such party as
it shall designate under the Plans, and any claim for such benefits shall be
considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Plans.

                                                                       Page 3
<PAGE>

     2.3   The Company may make payment of benefits directly to participants
or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plans. The
Company shall notify the Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits
directly prior to the time amounts are payable to participants or their
beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any earnings
thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with
the terms of the Plans, the Company shall make the balance of each such
payment as it falls due. The Trustee shall notify the Company in the event
that principal and earnings are not sufficient.

                                   ARTICLE III

                    TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING PAYMENTS TO
                    TRUST BENEFICIARY WHEN COMPANY IS INSOLVENT

     3.1   The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to participants and
their beneficiaries under the Plans if the Company is "Insolvent." The Company
shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement 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.

     3.2   At all times during the continuation of this Trust, as provided in
Section 1.4 hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to
claims of general creditors of the Company under federal and state law as set
forth below.

           (a)   The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of
     the Company shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing if the
     Company is Insolvent. If a person claiming to be a creditor of the Company
     alleges in writing to the Trustee that the Company has become insolvent,
     the Trustee shall determine whether the Company is insolvent and, pending
     such determination, the Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits,
     from the Trust, to participants or their beneficiaries under the Plans.

           (b)   Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Company's
     Insolvency, or has received notice from the Company or a person claiming
     to be a creditor alleging that the Company has become Insolvent, the
     Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Company is Insolvent.
     The Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning Company's
     Insolvency as may be furnished to the Trustee and that provides the
     Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning
     the Company's Insolvency.

           (c)   If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Company
     is insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payments, from the Trust, to
     participants or their beneficiaries under the Plans and shall hold the
     assets of the Trust for the benefit of the Company's general creditors.
     Nothing in this Agreement shall in

                                                                       Page 4

         any way diminish any rights of Plan participants or their
         beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of Company
         with respect to benefits due under the Plans or otherwise.

                (d)    The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to
         participants or their beneficiaries under the Plans in accordance
         with Article II of this Agreement only after the Trustee has
         determined that the Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer
         Insolvent).

         3.3     Provided that there are sufficient assets, if the Trustee
discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3.2
hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following
such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to
participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plans for the
period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made
to the such participants or their beneficiaries by the Company in lieu of the
payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.

                                 ARTICLE IV

                             PAYMENTS TO COMPANY

         4.1     Except as provided in Article III hereof, after the Trust
has become irrevocable, the Company shall have no right or power to direct
the Trustee to return to the Company or to divert to others any of the Trust
assets before all payment of benefits have been made to participants and
their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plans.

                                  ARTICLE V

                             INVESTMENT AUTHORITY

         5.1     It is the intent of the Company that the Trustee shall
invest the contributions to the Trust in shares of common stock of Company.
The Trustee may invest in securities (including stock or right to acquire
stock) or obligations issued by the Company. All rights associated with
assets of the Trust shall be exercised by the Trustee, or the person
designated by the Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or rest
with participants in the Plans. The Company shall have the right at any time,
and from time to time in its sole discretion, to substitute assets of equal
fair market value for any asset held by the Trust. This right is exercisable
by the Company in a nonfiduciary capacity without the approval or consent of
any person in a fiduciary capacity. The Trustee shall hold the stock until
such time as the stock must be liquidated to pay participants or their
beneficiaries benefits under the Plans or until such time as the Trustee
determines it to be clearly imprudent to retain the stock to preserve

                                                                         Page 5

the principal balance required to maintain adequate funding for future
payments due to participants or their beneficiaries under the Plans.

         5.2     The Company represents and warrants that it has filed and
will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with all applicable
state agencies or authorities all required registration statements relating
to shares of Company stock and other interests which may be issued under the
Plans. The Company acknowledges that it is responsible for, and that the
Trustee shall not be responsible for, preparing or filing such registration
statements or for the accuracy of statements contained therein, or for
preparing or filing any other reports, statements or filings required under
federal or state securities laws with respect to the Trust's investment in
Company stock.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                DISPOSITION OF INCOME

         6.1     During the term of this Trust, all income received by the
Trust, not of expenses and taxes, shall be accumulated and reinvested.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                              ACCOUNTING BY TRUSTEE

         7.1     The Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all
investments, receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to
be made, including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing
between the Company and the Trustee. Within sixty (60) days following the
close of each calendar year and within sixty (60) days after the resignation
of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a written account of
its administration of the Trust during such year or during the period from
the close of the last preceding year to the date of such removal or
resignation, setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other
transactions effected by it, including a description of all securities and
investments purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such
purchases or sales (accrued interest paid or receivable being shown
separately), and showing all cash, securities and other property held in the
Trust at the end of such year or as of the date of such removal or
resignation, as the case may be.

                                   ARTICLE VIII

                             RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTEE

         8.1     The Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and
diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent a person
acting in like capacity and familiar with such matter would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims provided,
however, that the Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any
action taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by the
Company which is contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of the
Plans or this Agreement and is given in writing by the Company. In the event
of a dispute between the Company and a party, the Trustee may apply to a
court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.

         8.2     If the Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising
in connection with this Trust, the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee
against the Trustee's reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be
primarily liable for such payments. If the Company does not pay such costs,
expenses and liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, the Trustee may
obtain payment from the Trust.

         8.3     The Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be
counsel for Company generally) with respect to any of its duties or
obligations hereunder.

         Upon receipt by the Trust and/or Trustee, as the case may be, of
notice or commencement (by way of service with a summons or other legal
process giving information as to the nature and basis of the claim) of a
claim, action or proceeding (a "Legal Proceeding") against the Trustee or the
Trust, as the case may be, arising in connection with the Trust, the Trustee
shall promptly notify the Company with respect thereto. The Company will, if
requested by the Trustee and may in its discretion, assume the defense of any
such Legal Proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee and pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, in which event,
except as provided below, the Company shall not be liable for the fees and
expenses of any other counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with
such Legal Proceeding. The Trust and/or Trustee, as the case may be, shall
have the right to participate in any such Legal Proceeding and to retain its
own counsel, but, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Trust and/or Trustee, as the case may be, unless (i) the Company and the
Trust and/or Trustee, as the case may be, mutually shall have agreed in
writing to the retention of such counsel, or (ii) the named parties to any
such Legal Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Company and the Trust and/or Trustee, as the case may be, and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between the Company and the Trust and/or
Trustee, as the case may be; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Company be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of
attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with any one

                                                                         Page 7

Legal Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or substantially related
Legal Proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same facts and
circumstances. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Legal
Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall be
obligated for any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
The Company will not settle any claim, action or proceeding (i) in which the
Trust and/or Trustee, as the case may be, is a named party, or (ii) pursuant to
which settlement any responsibility, culpability or liability is imposed on, or
ascribed to, the Trust and/or Trustee, as the case may be, without the written
consent of the Trust and/or Trustee, as the case may be, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.

         8.4 The Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment
advisors, financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in
performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder.

         8.5 The Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred
on trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein,
provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the
Trust, the Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy
other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of
the policy to a different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan
to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy.

         8.6 Notwithstanding any powers granted to the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement or to applicable law, the Trustee shall not have any power that could
give this Trust the objective of carrying on a business and dividing the gains
therefrom, within the meaning of section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and
Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code.

         8.7 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in
the event of a Change of Control, as defined in Section 13.4, the Trustee is
hereby directed to sell any and all shares of Company stock, or other stock that
is received by the Trustee in exchange for such Company stock as a result of the
Change of Control, which the Trustee holds as a Trust asset, within thirty (30)
days of such Change of Control. The Trustee shall invest any and all proceeds
that it receives as a result of such sales that are not immediately needed in
order to make distributions to participants and their beneficiaries under the
Plans in United States government securities and/or securities of United States
government agencies. Additionally, if the Trustee sells any Company stock prior
to a Change of Control, the proceeds from any such sale that are not immediately
needed in order to make distributions to participants and their beneficiaries
under the Plans also shall be invested by the Trustee in United States
government securities and/or securities of United States government agencies
with an average portfolio maturity of two (2) years.

                                                                          Page 8

                      COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE

         9.1 The Company shall pay all administrative and Trustee's fees and
expenses. If not so paid, the fees and expenses shall be paid from the Trust.

         9.2 In the event of a Change of Control or any other matter, which
in the Trustee's reasonable discretion requires the Trustee to perform
services in addition to the Trustee's custodial and investment
responsibilities under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
Trustee's responsibilities under Section 8.7, which shall not be considered
additional responsibilities upon a Change of Control, the Trustee shall be
entitled to an additional fee as provided in this Article IX. The Trustee
shall be compensated at its normal hourly rates for all reasonable additional
services and for the reasonable fees and expense of its counsel or other
experts required to be engaged by the Trustee. Such amounts shall be paid by
the Company to the Trustee within sixty (60) days of billing, provided that if
timely payment is not made by the Company, the Trustee may discharge any such
obligation out of the Trust assets, regardless of whether the Trust is fully
funded.

         9.3 In the event of the termination of the Trust or the removal or
resignation of the Trustee, the Trustee shall be entitled to withhold out of the
Trust assets all amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to this Article IX. This
Section 9.3 shall supersede any conflicting provision of this Agreement or the
Plans.

                       RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE

         10.1 The Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to the
Company, which shall be effective ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice
unless the Company and Trustee agree otherwise.

         10.2 Subject to Section 10.3, the Trustee may be removed by the Company
on ninety (90) days notice or upon shorter notice accepted by the Trustee.

         10.3 Upon a Change of Control, as defined herein, the Trustee may not
be removed by the Company for three (3) years.

         10.4 If the Trustee resigns within three (3) years following a Change
of Control, as defined herein, the Trustee shall select a successor Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2 hereof prior to the effective
date of the Trustee's resignation or removal.

                                                                          Page 9

         10.5 Upon resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee, all Trust assets shall subsequently be transferred to the
successor Trustee. The transfer shall be completed within sixty (60) days after
receipt of notice of resignation, removal or transfer, unless the Company
extends the time limit.

         10.6 If the Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be
appointed, in accordance with Article XI hereof, by the effective date of
resignation or removal under Section 10.1 or 10.2. If no such appointment has
been made, the Trustee or the Company may apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for appointment of a successor or for instructions. All reasonable
expenses of the Trustee in connection with the proceeding shall be allowed as
administrative expenses of the Trust.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR

         11.1 If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with Section
10.1 or 10.2 hereof, the Company may appoint any third party, such as a bank
trust department or other party that may be granted corporate trustee powers
under state law, as a successor to replace the Trustee upon resignation or
removal. The appointment shall be effective when accepted in writing by the
new Trustee, who shall have all of the rights and powers of the former
Trustee, including ownership rights in the Trust assets. The former Trustee
shall execute any instrument necessary or reasonably requested by the Company
or the successor Trustee to evidence the transfer.

         11.2 If the Trustee resigns or is removed pursuant to the provisions
of Section 10.5 hereof and selects a successor Trustee, the Trustee may
appoint any third party such as a bank trust department or other party that
may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law. The appointment of a
successor Trustee shall be effective when accepted in writing by the new
Trustee. The new Trustee shall have all the rights and powers of the former
Trustee, including ownership rights in Trust assets. The former Trustee shall
execute any instrument necessary or reasonably requested by the successor
Trustee to evidence the transfer.

         11.3 The successor Trustee need not examine the records and acts of
any prior Trustee and may retain or dispose of existing Trust assets, subject
to Articles VII and VIII hereof. The successor Trustee shall not be
responsible for, and the Company shall indemnify and defend the successor
Trustee from, any claim or liability resulting from any action or inaction of
any prior Trustee or from any other past event, or any condition existing at
the time it becomes successor Trustee.

                                                                         Page 10

                           AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

     12.1   This Agreement may be amended by a written instrument executed by
the Trustee and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment
shall conflict with the terms of the Plans or shall make the Trust revocable.

     12.2   The Trust shall not terminate until the date on which
participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits
pursuant to the terms of the Plans. Upon termination of the Trust any assets
remaining in the Trust shall be returned to the Company.

     12.3   Upon written approval of all participants or beneficiaries
entitled to payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plans, the
Company may terminate this Trust prior to the time all benefit payments under
the Plans have been made. The Company shall provide verification to the
Trustee that all such participants or beneficiaries entitled to benefits
under the Plans have in fact approved the termination of the Trust. All
assets in the Trust at termination shall be returned to the Company.

     12.4   Section 1.5, Article IV, Article V, Section 8.7, Section 10.3,
Section 10.4, Section 12.4 and Section 13.4 of this Agreement may not be
amended by Company for three (3) years following a Change in Control, as

ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof.

     13.2   Benefits payable to participants and their beneficiaries under

attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.

     13.3   This Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent
preempted by ERISA or the Code.

     13.4   For purposes of this Trust, a "Change of Control" means any of
the following events:

                                                                       Page 11

     14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
     Act")), other than a Trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
     an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned, directly
     or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the
     same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company is or
     becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in rule 13d-3 under the
     Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
     representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power

legal proceeding, then the Company shall reimburse such participant or
beneficiary for the reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in bringing
and prosecuting such legal proceeding.
