<PAGE>

      absolute authority and discretion to interpret the KEPP, to amend or
      modify this Plan for the KEPP, to select, in accordance with Section 5.01
      of this Plan, the persons who will be Participants hereunder, to set all
      Earnings thresholds and Operational Goals, to determine all performance
      criteria, levels of Awards and KEPP Payments payable, to determine, after
      review of the Corporation's financial reports, the degree to which any

      respect to the Level 1 portion of any Award, to review the attainment of
      Operational Goals and exercise Negative Discretion with respect to the
      Level 2 portion of any Award, to impose such conditions and restrictions
      as it determines appropriate and to take such other actions and make such
      other determinations in connection with the KEPP as it may deem necessary
      or advisable.

ARTICLE IV. OVERVIEW OF KEPP

            4.01 CASH BONUS PLAN. KEPP is designed to pay cash bonuses to
      participating key executives after the end of a Performance Period based
      on the level (i) of achievement of predetermined Earnings thresholds and
      (ii) attainment of Operational Goals (to which the Committee may exercise
      Negative Discretion).

            4.02 LEVELS OF AWARDS. KEPP Awards are granted with two levels. The
      first level, Level 1, is a cash bonus payment based on achievement of
      Earnings that the Committee has no discretion to reduce. KEPP Payments
      earned under Level 1 will be earned solely with reference to Earnings
      attained during the Performance Period. The second level, Level 2 is a
      cash bonus payment based on level of attainment of Operational Goals that
      the Committee has the Negative Discretion to reduce. The Committee's
      judgment in exercising its Negative Discretion to arrive at a KEPP Payment
      under Level 2 is expected to be guided by the degree to which the
      Corporation generally or the participating key executives in particular
      have attained predetermined Operational Goals. The Committee is expected
      to review the level of attainment of Operational Goals with the Chief
      Executive Officer of the Corporation before exercising any Negative
      Discretion.

            4.03 PARTICIPATING KEY EXECUTIVES. It is intended that the number of
      participating key executives shall be limited to those key executives with
      the most direct influence on the attainment of Earnings and operational
      goals.

ARTICLE V. PARTICIPATION

            5.01 DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS. Participants in the KEPP shall be
      such key management employees of the Corporation or of its subsidiaries as
      the Committee, in its sole discretion, may designate as eligible to
      participate in the KEPP for any one or more Performance Periods. No later
      than 90 days after the commencement of each Performance Period during the
      term of the KEPP, the Committee shall designate the Participants who are
      eligible to participate in the KEPP during such Performance Period. The
      Committee's designation of a Participant with respect to any Performance
      Period shall not require the Committee to designate such person as a
      Participant with respect to any other Performance Period. The Committee
      shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting
      Participants. The Committee shall promptly provide to each person selected
      as a

                                       5
<PAGE>

      Participant written notice of such selection.

ARTICLE VI. GRANTS UNDER THE KEPP

            6.01 ANNUAL DETERMINATION REGARDING PERFORMANCE PERIOD. No later
      than the 60th day of each calendar year, the Committee shall determine
      whether to establish a Performance Period, provided, however, for a
      Performance Period established in calendar year 2004, the Committee may
      make a determination under this Section 6.01 at any time prior to the 90th
      day of calendar year 2004.

            6.02 DETERMINATION OF GRANTS, AWARDS (BOTH LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2) AND
      PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. For each Performance Period, the Committee shall
      take the following actions no later than the 90th day of the first
      calendar year of that Performance Period:

                  (a) Identify Participants for that Performance Period.

                  (b) Establish the level of Level 1 and Level 2 opportunities
            for each Participant.

                  (c) Set the Earnings target(s).

                  (d) Set the Operational Goals and relative weightings after
            discussing such goals and weighting with the Chief Executive Officer
            in order to bring the Operational Goals as closely as possible in
            line with the Corporation's business plans.

            6.03 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If a Participant terminates
      employment with the Corporation and each subsidiary of the Corporation
      during a then uncompleted Performance Period for reasons other than death,
      Disability or Retirement, any KEPP Award for any then uncompleted
      Performance Period shall be forfeited automatically. If a Participant
      terminates employment with the Corporation and each subsidiary of the
      Corporation for reasons of death, Disability or Retirement during a then
      uncompleted Performance Period, the Participant shall be entitled to
      receive a pro rata KEPP Payment for each then uncompleted Performance
      Period determined:

                  (a) when the KEPP Payments for all other Participants in such
            Performance Period(s) are determined; and

                  (b) based on the actual level of achievement of Earnings for
            that Performance Period and the attainment of Operational Goals,
            after the application of Negative Discretion.

                                       6

ARTICLE VII. DETERMINATION OF ACHIEVEMENT OF EARNINGS AND OPERATIONAL GOALS

            7.01 DETERMINATION OF EARNINGS AND OPERATIONAL GOALS. As promptly as
      administratively feasible but in no event later than the March 1st of the
      calendar year following last calendar year of each Performance Period, the
      Committee shall determine Earnings of the Corporation and the attainment
      of Operational Goals and the degree, if any, to which the Committee will
      exercise Negative Discretion.

            7.02 DETERMINATION OF KEPP PAYMENTS. KEPP Payments for a particular
      Performance Period for a particular Participant shall be the result of
      adding (i) the amount earned by a particular Participant under Level 1
      based on the Corporation's actual Earnings during the Performance Period
      and (ii) the amount earned by a particular Participant under Level 2 based
      on attainment of Operational Goals and after the application, if any, by
      the Committee of Negative Discretion.

            8.01 CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control, during
      an uncompleted Performance Period, KEPP Payments (i) with respect to KEPP
      Awards made in 2004 with respect to the 2004 through 2006 Performance
      Period, shall be determined as of the date of the Change in Control at the
      highest (that is 7X) level of Earnings for the entire 2004 through 2006
      Performance Period without pro ration for any factor and KEPP Payments for
      the whole of the 2004 through 2006 Performance Period shall be delivered
      to the Participants as soon after the Change in Control as is
      administratively feasible; (ii) with respect to KEPP Awards made in 2005
      with respect to the 2005 through 2007 Performance Period, shall be
      determined as of the date of the Change in Control (x) with respect to
      Level 1, by first determining the aggregate amount of income before taxes
      actually attained by the Corporation for the period beginning on January
      1, 2005 and ending on (and including) the date of the Change in Control,
      dividing that amount by the number of days during the period beginning on
      January 1, 2005 and ending on (and including) the date of the Change in
      Control and multiplying that daily amount by the total number of days in
      calendar years 2005, 2006 and 2007 and, using the amount of income before
      taxes determined under the foregoing, determining the appropriate amount
      to be paid under Level 1 and (y) with respect to Level 2, if the amount of
      the Level 1 payment determined under the preceding clause is less than the
      maximum level for the 2005 through 2007 Performance Period, the Committee
      shall meet immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control (or as
      soon as practicable after the Committee knows of the impending Change in
      Control) and determine the amount, if any, of KEPP Payment appropriate
      under Level 2 for the 2005 through 2007 Performance Period and the KEPP
      Payments for the 2005 through 2007 Performance Period shall be delivered
      to the Participants as soon after the Change in Control as is
      administratively feasible and (iii) for any subsequent Performance Period,
      in a manner determined by the Committee at the time of the award for that
      Performance Period.

            8.02 NON-UNIFORM DETERMINATIONS. The actions and determinations of
      the Committee need not be uniform and may be taken or made by the
      Committee selectively among employees or Participants, whether or not
      similarly situated.

            8.03 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. The Committee shall have
      complete power and authority to amend or terminate this Plan at any time
      it is deemed necessary or appropriate. No termination or amendment of the
      Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any award shall
      theretofore have been granted under the KEPP, adversely affect the right
      of such individual under such award; provided, however, that the Committee
      may, in its sole discretion, make such provision in the Award Agreement
      for amendments which, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate.

provides the Executive with written notice setting forth the specific duties
that, in the Board's view, the Executive has failed to perform and the Executive
is provided a period of thirty (30) days to cure such specific failure(s) to the

            (iii) A specified percentage of "Voting Power" of a company shall

            thereof to cast such percentage of all the votes which could be cast

                         Article II. Severance Benefits

      2.1 Right to Severance Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to
receive from the Company severance benefits described in Section 2.2 below
(collectively, the "Severance Benefits") if a Change in Control shall occur and
within twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control either of the
following shall occur:

            (a)   an involuntary termination of the Executive's employment with
                  the Company without Cause; or

            (b)   a voluntary termination of the Executive's employment with the
                  Company for Good Reason.

      2.2 Severance Benefits. In the event that the Executive becomes entitled
to receive Severance Benefits, as provided in Section 2.1, the Company shall
provide the Executive with total Severance Benefits as follows (but subject to
Sections 2.5 and 2.6):

            (a)   The Executive shall receive a single lump sum cash Severance
                  Compensation payment within thirty (30) days of the Effective
                  Date of Termination.

            (b)   The Executive shall receive the Accrued Obligations.

            (c)   The Executive shall receive as AIP for the year in which the
                  termination occurs a lump sum cash payment paid within thirty
                  (30) days of the Effective Date of Termination equal to that
                  which would have been paid if corporate and personal
                  performance had achieved 120% of target objectives established
                  for the annual period in which the Change in Control occurred,
                  multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
                  of days elapsed in the current fiscal period to the Effective
                  Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365.

            (d)   The Executive shall receive a lump sum payment paid within
                  thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of Termination (i) of
                  any earned but unpaid TSRP Awards (as defined in the TSRP) and
                  (ii) with respect to any TSRP Awards for then uncompleted TSRP
                  Performance Periods (as defined in the TSRP); provided that
                  portion of the TSRP award that would be paid in stock under
                  the TSRP is to be paid in cash based on the then current
                  market value of the stock and the payment for then uncompleted
                  TSRP Performance Periods will be determined based upon a
                  deemed "Excellent" level of Total Shareholder Return (as
                  defined in the TSRP and set forth in

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

                  the applicable TSRP agreement) for each uncompleted TSRP
                  Performance Period.

            (e)   All perquisites and welfare benefits, including medical,
                  dental, vision, life and disability benefits pursuant to plans
                  under which the Executive and/or the Executive's family is
                  eligible to receive benefits and/or coverage shall be
                  continued for a period of thirty-six (36) months after the
                  Effective Date of Termination. Such benefits shall be provided
                  to the Executive at no less than the same coverage level as in
                  effect as of the date of the Change in Control. The Company
                  shall pay the full cost of such continued benefits, except
                  that the Executive shall bear any portion of such cost as was
                  required to be borne by key executives of the Company
                  generally at the date of the Change in Control.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefits described in this
                  Section 2.2(e) may be discontinued prior to the end of the
                  periods provided in this Section to the extent, but only to
                  the extent, that the Executive receives substantially similar
                  benefits from a subsequent employer. In the event any
                  insurance carrier shall refuse to provide coverage to a former
                  employee, the Company shall secure comparable coverage or may
                  self-insure the benefits if it pays such benefits together
                  with a payment to the Executive equal to the federal income
                  tax consequences of payments to a former highly compensated
                  employee from a discriminatory self-insured plan.

            (f)   The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual
                  payments made for professional outplacement services or job
                  search not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate.

            (g)   In determining the Executive's pension benefit following
                  entitlement to a Severance Benefit, (i) the Executive shall be
                  deemed to have satisfied the age and service requirements for
                  full vesting under the Company's qualified (within applicable
                  legal parameters), non-qualified and supplemental pension
                  plans as of the Effective Date of Termination in which the
                  Executive then participates such that the Executive shall be
                  entitled to receive the full accrued benefit (based on actual
                  service rendered through the Effective Date of Termination
                  plus the service under subsection 2.2(g)(ii)) under all such
                  plans in effect as of the date of the Change in Control,
                  without any actuarial reduction for early payment and (ii) the
                  Executive shall be credited with years of service for all
                  purposes under each such plan equal to the number used to
                  multiply Base Compensation in Section 1.1(m) (not to exceed a
                  maximum total of ten credited years of service under the
                  Company's Supplemental Pension Plan, if applicable). To the
                  extent the amounts determined after giving effect to this
                  Section 2.2(g) cannot be paid from or under a qualified plan,
                  as determined by the administrator of the qualified plan(s),
                  such amounts shall be paid in a single cash payment with the
                  Accrued Obligations as provided in Section 2.2(b), it being
                  understood that the Executive will receive all amounts that
                  can be paid from or under a qualified plan from such plan when
                  such amounts otherwise become due.

                                      -6-

            (h)   If the Company is providing the Executive with the use of an
                  automobile on the date of the Change in Control within sixty
                  (60) days of the Effective Date of Termination, the Company
                  shall acquire title to such automobile if it does not then
                  have title, satisfy any lease obligation, lien or encumbrance
                  related to such automobile and transfer to the Executive, free
                  and clear of all encumbrances, title to the automobile.

      2.3. Stock Options. All Company stock options previously granted to the
Executive shall be fully vested and exercisable immediately upon a Change in
Control. Such options shall be exercisable for the remainder of the term
established by the Company's stock option plan as if the options had vested in
accordance with the normal vesting schedule and the Executive had remained an
employee of the Company. Company stock acquired pursuant to any such exercise
may be sold by the Executive free of any Company restrictions, whatsoever (other
than those imposed by federal and state securities laws).

      2.4. KEPP. In the event of entitlement to a Severance Benefit and the
Executive then participates in KEPP, the Company shall pay to the Executive an
amount in a single cash payment within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of
Termination equal to the amount determined as the sum of (i) any earned but
unpaid KEPP amounts and (ii) the sum of (A) for the 2004 through 2006
measurement period under KEPP, at the 7X (maximum) level and (B) for the 2005
through 2007 measurement period under KEPP (x) with respect to Level 1, by first
determining the aggregate amount of income before taxes actually attained by the
Corporation for the period beginning on January 1, 2005 and ending on (and
including) the date of the Change in Control, dividing that amount by the number
of days during the period beginning on January 1, 2005 and ending on (and
including) the date of the Change in Control and multiplying that daily amount
by the total number of days in calendar years 2005, 2006 and 2007 and, using the
amount of income before taxes determined under the foregoing, determining the
appropriate amount to be paid under Level 1 and (y) with respect to Level 2, if
the amount of the Level 1 payment determined under the preceding clause is less
than the maximum level for the 2005 through 2007 Performance Period, the
Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee")
shall meet immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control (or as soon as
practicable after the Committee knows of the impending Change in Control) and
determine the amount, if any, of KEPP Payment appropriate under Level 2 for the
2005 through 2007 Performance Period and the KEPP Payments for the 2005 through
2007 Performance Period shall be delivered to the Participants as soon after the
Change in Control as is administratively feasible.

      2.5. Termination for any Other Reason. If the Executive's employment with
the Company is terminated under any circumstances other than those set forth in
Section 2.1, including without limitation by reason of retirement, death,
disability, discharge for Cause or resignation without Good Reason, or any
termination, for any reason, that occurs prior to a Change in Control (other
than as provided below) or after twenty-four (24) months following a Change in
Control, the Executive shall have no right to receive the Severance Benefits
under this Agreement or to receive any payments in respect of this Agreement. In
such event Executive's benefits, if any, in respect of such termination shall be
determined in accordance with the Company's retirement, survivor's benefits,
insurance, and other applicable plans, programs, policies and practices then in
effect. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the
Executive's employment with the Company is terminated at any time from three (3)
to eight (8) months prior to the date on which a Change in Control occurs either
(i) by the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Company other than for Cause or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, and it is
reasonably demonstrated that termination of employment (a) was at the request of
an unrelated third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a
Change in Control, or (b) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation
of the Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the
termination shall be deemed to have occurred as if immediately following a
Change in Control for Good Reason and the Executive shall be entitled to
Severance Benefits as provided in Section 2.2 hereof. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive's employment with the
Company is terminated at any time within three (3) months prior to the date on
which a Change in Control occurs either (i) by the Company other than for Cause
or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, such termination shall conclusively be
deemed to have occurred as if immediately following a Change in Control for Good
Reason and the Executive shall be entitled to Severance Benefits as provided in
Section 2.2. hereof.

      2.6. Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by
the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to
the other party. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall
mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in
this Agreement relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
employment under the provision so indicated.

      2.7. Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement all Federal, state, local, or other taxes that are
legally required to be withheld.

      2.8. Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

            (a)   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in
                  the event it shall be determined that any economic benefit or
                  payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit
                  of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or
                  distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
                  otherwise (a "Payment"), would be subject to the excise tax
                  imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or
                  penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax,
                  together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter
                  collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the
                  Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment
                  (a "Gross-Up-Payment") in an amount such that after payment by
                  the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or
                  penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
                  Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive
                  retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise
                  Tax imposed upon the Payments.

            (b)   Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(c), all
                  determinations required to be made under this Section 2.8,
                  including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the
                  amount of such Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the
                  Company's regular outside independent public accounting firm
                  (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed
                  supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive
                  within fifteen (15) business days of the Effective Date of
                  Termination, if applicable, or such earlier time as

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

                  is requested by the Company. The initial Gross-Up Payment, if
                  any, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.8(b), shall be
                  paid to the Executive within five (5) days of the receipt of
                  the Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm
                  determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it
                  shall furnish the Executive with an opinion that the Executive
                  has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax or
                  excess parachute payments on Executive's federal income tax
                  return. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be
                  binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the
                  uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at
                  the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
                  hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will
                  not have been made by the Company should have been made
                  ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to
                  be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its
                  remedies pursuant to Section 2.8(c) and the Executive
                  thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax,
                  the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the
                  Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall
                  be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the
                  Executive.

            (c)   The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim
                  by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would
                  require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment.
                  Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no
                  later than ten (10) business days after the later of either
                  (i) the date the Executive has actual knowledge of such claim,
                  or (ii) ten (10) days after the Internal Revenue Service
                  issues to the Executive either a written report proposing
                  imposition of the Excise Tax or a statutory notice of
                  deficiency with respect thereto, and shall apprise the Company
                  of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim
                  is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such
                  claim prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period
                  following the date on which he gives such notice to the
                  Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any
                  payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the
                  Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the
                  expiration of such period that the Company desires to contest
                  such claim, the Executive shall: (i) give the Company any
                  information reasonably requested by the Company relating to
                  such claim, (ii) take such action in connection with
                  contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request
                  in writing from time to time, including, without limitation,
                  accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by
                  an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, (iii)
                  cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively
                  to contest such claim, (iv) permit the Company to participate
                  in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however,
                  that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
                  expenses (including additional interest and penalties)
                  incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify
                  and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for
                  any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and penalties
                  with respect thereto, imposed as a result of such
                  representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without
                  limitation of the foregoing provisions of this

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

                  Section 2.8(c), the Company shall control all proceedings
                  taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option,
                  may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
                  proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing
                  authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole
                  option, either direct the Executive to request or accede to a
                  request for an extension of the statute of limitations with
                  respect only to the tax claimed, or pay the tax claimed and
                  sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible
                  manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to
                  a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court
                  of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts,
                  as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the
                  Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a
                  refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment
                  to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall
                  indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax
                  basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest
                  or penalties with respect thereto, imposed with respect to
                  such advance or with respect to any imputed income with
                  respect to such advance; and provided further that any
                  extension of the statute of limitations requested or acceded
                  to by the Executive at the Company's request and relating to
                  payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with
                  respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is
                  limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the
                  Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues
                  with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable
                  hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or
                  contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
                  Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

            (d)   If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced
                  by the Company pursuant to Section 2.8(c), the Executive
                  becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such
                  claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company's complying
                  with the requirements of Section 2.8(c)) promptly pay to the
                  Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest
                  paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If,
                  after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by
                  the Company pursuant to Section 2.8(c), a determination is
                  made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund
                  with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the
                  Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of
                  refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such
                  determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall
                  not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance
                  shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up
                  Payment required to be paid.

            (e)   In the event that any state or municipality or subdivision
                  thereof shall subject any Payment to any special tax which
                  shall be in addition to the generally applicable income tax
                  imposed by such state, municipality, or subdivision with
                  respect to receipt of such Payment, the foregoing provisions
                  of this Section 2.8 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with
                  respect to such special tax.

                 Article III. The Company's Payment Obligation

      3.1 Payment Obligations Absolute. Except as otherwise provided in the last
sentence of Section 2.2(e), the Company's obligation to make the payments and
the arrangements provided for in this Agreement shall be absolute and
unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including,
without limitation, any offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other
right that the Company may have against the Executive or any other party. All
amounts payable by the Company under this Agreement shall be paid without notice
or demand. Each and every payment made hereunder by the Company shall be final,
and the Company shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from
the Executive or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons
whatsoever. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to make any payment to the
Executive hereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such payment is
prohibited by the terms of any final order of a Federal or state court or
regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that such an
order shall not affect, impair, or invalidate any provision of this Agreement
not expressly subject to such order.

      3.2 Contractual Rights to Payments and Benefits. This Agreement
establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the payments and
benefits to which the Executive is entitled hereunder. Nothing herein contained
shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the
Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets,
in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required
hereunder. The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in
mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of
this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event
effect any reduction of the Company's obligations to make the payments and
arrangements required to be made under this Agreement, except to the extent
provided in the last sentence of Section 2.2(e).

                   Article IV . Enforcement and Legal Remedies

      4.1. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably
consents to personal jurisdiction in any action brought in connection with this
Agreement in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania or any Pennsylvania court of competent jurisdiction. The parties
also consent to venue in the above forums and to the convenience of the above
forums. Any suit brought to enforce the provisions of this Agreement must be
brought in the aforementioned forums.

      4.2 Cost of Enforcement. In the event that it shall be necessary or
desirable for the Executive to retain legal counsel in connection with the
enforcement of any or all of Executive's rights to Severance Benefits under
Section 2.2 of this Agreement, and provided that the Executive substantially
prevails in the enforcement of such rights, the Company, as applicable, shall
pay (or the Executive shall be entitled to recover from the Company, as the case
may be) the Executive's reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in
connection with the enforcement of Executive's rights.

                      Article V. Binding Effect; Successors

      The rights of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of their
respective successors, assigns, nominees, or other legal representatives. The
Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, reorganization, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock,
liquidation, or otherwise) to all or a significant portion of the assets of the
Company, as the case may be, by agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company, as the
case may be, would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
Regardless of whether such agreement is executed, this Agreement shall be
binding upon any successor in accordance with the operation of law and such
successor shall be deemed the "Company", as the case may be, for purposes of
this Agreement.

                          Article VI. Term of Agreement

      The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
continue in effect for three (3) full years (the "Term") unless further extended
as provided in this Article. The Term of this Agreement shall be automatically
and without action by either party extended for one additional calendar month on
the last business day of each calendar month so that at any given time there are
no fewer than 35 nor more than 36 months remaining unless one party gives
written notice to the other that it no longer wishes to extend the Term of this
Agreement, after which written notice, the Term shall not be further extended
except as may be provided in the following sentence. However, in the event a
Change in Control occurs during the Term, this Agreement will remain in effect
for the longer of: (i) thirty-six (36) months beyond the month in which such
Change in Control occurred; or (ii) until all obligations of the Company
hereunder have been fulfilled and all benefits required hereunder have been paid
to the Executive or other party entitled thereto.

                           Article VII. Miscellaneous

      7.1 Employment Status. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof
shall be deemed to create or confer upon the Executive any right to be retained
in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary or other affiliate thereof.

      7.2 Beneficiaries. The Executive may designate one or more persons or
entities as the primary and/or contingent Beneficiaries of any Severance
Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement. Such designation must be
in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Board of Directors of the
Company. The Executive may make or change such designation at any time.

      7.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of
the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and
amends, restates and supersedes and prior change in control agreement between
the parties. Any payments actually made under this Agreement in the event of the
Executive's termination of employment shall be in lieu of any severance benefits
payable under any severance plan, program, or policy of the Company to which the
Executive might otherwise be entitled.

such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument, and all
signatures need not appear on any one counterpart.

      7.7. Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be

affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be
construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included. Further, the captions of this Agreement are for convenience of

effect.

      7.8. Modification. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived,

States, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, other than the conflict of
