    SECTION
      3

    DEFERRED
      COMPENSATION

     

    3.1
 Deferred
      Compensation.

     

    (a) Each
      Eligible
      Participant may elect, in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Plan, to defer
      annually the receipt of a portion of the Fees and/or Shares for active service
      otherwise payable to him or her by Company during each year or portion of a
      year
      that the Participant shall provide services to the Company. The minimum dollar
      amount of Fees that may be deferred per annum is $5,000. The minimum percentage
      of Shares that may be deferred per annum is 100%.

     

    (b) Accounts.
      The Company shall
      establish on its books one or two separate accounts (individually, an
      "Account"
      and collectively,
      the "Accounts")
      for each
      Participant who participates in the Plan: a Stock Account and a Cash Account.
      The number of Shares deferred by a Participant shall be credited to the Stock
      Account. Fees deferred by a Participant shall be credited to the Stock Account
      or the Cash Account as elected by the Participant at the time the Participant
      elects to defer Fees. Such election may be divided between the two Accounts
      in
      increments of 25 percent of the deferred Fees covered by the election. An
      election between the Stock Account and the Cash Account shall be irrevocable
      as
      to the deferred Fees covered by the election and no transfers between the Stock
      Account and the Cash Account shall be permitted. The credit for deferred Fees
      shall be entered on the Company's books of account each quarter at the time
      that
      Fees are paid to other Participants who do not elect to defer the payment of
      such Fees. The credit for deferred Shares shall be entered on the Company's
      books of account as soon as practicable after the Company's annual shareholders'
      meeting of the year subject to the deferral. No special fund shall be
      established nor shall any notes or securities be issued by the Company with
      respect to a Participant's Accounts.

     

    (c) Stock
      Account.
      A Participant's
      Stock Account shall be denominated in shares of Common Stock, including
      fractional shares. With respect to the number of Shares deferred to a
      Participant's Stock Account, the Account will be credited with a number of
      shares equal to the deferred shares granted. With respect to each amount of
      Fees
      deferred to a Participant's Stock Account, the Stock Account shall be credited
      with a number of shares equal to the deferred Fees divided by the fair market
      value of the shares of Common Stock on the date the Fees would otherwise have
      been payable.

     

    (d) Changes
      to
      Elections.
      The amount or
      percentage of Fees or Shares that Participant elects to defer under Section
      3.3
      will remain constant for the year of the election and shall not be subject
      to
      change during such year; each such election or discontinuance of election will
      continue in force for each successive year until or unless suspended or modified
      by the filing of a subsequent election with the Company by the Participant
      in
      accordance with Section 3.3 of the Plan.

     

    (e) Company

      be obligated to make any other contribution to the Plan on behalf of any
      Participant at any time. Company may make Company Contributions to the Plan

      contributions pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The Company shall not be bound or
      obligated to apply any specific formula or basis for calculating the amount

      Cash Accounts. The use of any particular formula or basis for making a Company
      Contribution in one year shall not bind or obligate the Company to use such
      formula or basis in any other year. .

    3.2 Payment
      Of
      Account Balances.

     

    (a) The
      Participant
      shall elect whether he or she will receive distribution of his or her entire
      Cash Account and Stock Account, subject to tax withholding requirements, (i)
      upon reaching a specified age, (ii) upon passage of a specified number of years,
      (iii) upon termination of association of Participant with Company, (iv) upon
      the
      earlier to occur of (A) termination of Participant's association with Company
      or
      (B) passage of a specified number of years, or (v) upon the later to occur
      of
      (A) termination of Participant's association with Company or (B) passage of
      a
      specified number of years, as elected by Participant in accordance with the
      form
      attached hereto as Appendix 2. A designation of the date of distribution shall
      be required as a condition of participation under this Plan. The Participant
      shall also elect to receive all amounts payable to him or her in a lump sum
      or
      in equal monthly installments over a designated period of five or ten years
      for
      the cash distribution or annual installments over a designated period up to
      five
      years for the stock distribution, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2(d.
      Any change to such election regarding the timing and form of distribution shall
      be required of the Participant prior to the year of participation and must
      be in
      affect for at least one year prior to a distribution while continuously
      employed. If the eligible employee’s most recent change of payment designation
      has not been filed one (1) calendar year prior to the year in which the employee
      ceases as an employee of the Company, the prior election shall be used to
      determine the form of payment. These elections shall be made in accordance
      with
      Section 3.4 of this Plan.

     

    (b) Upon
      termination of
      Participant's association with Company by reason of death or Permanent
      Disability prior to the date when payment of Account balances otherwise would
      commence under the provisions of Section 3.2(a), Participant or Participant's
      designated Beneficiary will be entitled to receive all amounts credited to
      the
      Cash Account or Stock Account of Participant as of the date of his or her death
      or Permanent Disability (notwithstanding any contrary election to receive
      distributions under the first sentence of Section 3.2(a)). Upon termination
      of
      Participant's association with Company by reason other than death or Permanent
      Disability prior to the date when payment of Account balances otherwise would
      commence under the provisions of Section 3.2(a), the Company may, in the sole
      discretion of the Committee, distribute to Participant or Participant's
      designated Beneficiary all amounts credited to the Participant's Cash Account
      and all Shares credited to the Participant's Stock Account as of the date of
      such termination (notwithstanding any contrary election to receive distributions
      under the first sentence of Section 3.2(a)). Said amounts shall be payable,
      pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2(d).

     

    (c) Upon
      the death of
      Participant prior to complete distribution to him or her of the entire balance
      of his or her Cash Account or Stock Account (and after the date of termination
      of employment with Company), the balance of his or her Cash Account or Stock
      Account on the date of death shall be payable to Participant's designated
      Beneficiary pursuant to Section 3.2(d).

     

    (d) The
      Company shall
      distribute or direct distribution of the balance of amounts or number of Shares
      previously credited to Participant's Cash Account or Stock Account, in a lump
      sum, or in monthly installments over a period of five (5) or ten (10) years
      as
      Participant shall designate. A designation of the form of distribution shall
      be
      required as a condition of participation under this Plan. Distribution of the
      lump sum or the first installment shall be made or commence within ninety (90)
      days following the date specified in the first sentence of Section 3.2(a).
      Subsequent installments, if any, shall be made on the first day of each month
      following the first installment as determined by Company. The amount of each
      installment shall be calculated by dividing the Cash Account balance or the
      number of Shares in the Stock Account as of the date of the distribution by
      the
      number of installments remaining pursuant to the Participant's distribution
      election. Each such installment, if any, shall take into account earnings
      credited to the balance of the Account remaining unpaid. The Participant's
      distribution election shall be in the form attached hereto as Appendix
      2.

    (e)
      A director (or,
      after a director’s death, his or her Beneficiary) may elect, at any time, to
      withdraw all or part of his or her Account balance less a withdrawal penalty
      equal to 10% of such amount (the net amount shall be referred to as the
      "Withdrawal Amount"). This election can be made at any time, before or after
      Retirement, Permanent Disability, death or termination of employment, and
      whether or not the Employee (or Beneficiary) is in the process of being paid
      pursuant to an installment payment schedule. The Employee (or his or her
      Beneficiary) shall make this election by giving the Committee advance written
      notice of the election in a form determined from time to time by the Committee.
      The Employee (or his or her Beneficiary) shall be paid the Withdrawal Amount
      within 20 days of his or her election. Once the Withdrawal Amount is paid,
      the
      withdrawal penalty shall be permanently forfeited. 

     

    3.3 Election
      To
      Defer Compensation.
      Each election of
      a Participant to defer Compensation as provided in Section 3.1 of this Plan
      shall be in writing, signed by the Participant, and delivered to Company,
      together with all other documents required under the provisions of this Plan,
      at
      least twenty (20) days prior to the beginning of the Plan Year with respect
      to
      which the Compensation to be deferred is otherwise payable to Participant;
      provided, however, that an Participant who is elected as a director during
      a
      Plan Year shall have twenty (20) days from the date of such election in which
      to
      submit the required election documents for the then-current Plan Year. For
      the
      Plan Year beginning August 1, 1999 only, each Participant shall have until
      August 20, 1999, in which to make an election for that Plan Year. Any deferral
      election made by Participant shall be irrevocable with respect to any
      Compensation covered by such election, including Compensation payable in the
      Plan Year in which the election suspending or modifying the prior deferral
      election is delivered to Company. The Company shall withhold the amount or
      percentage of Compensation specified to be deferred in equal amounts at the
      time
      or times such Compensation is or otherwise would be paid to the Participant.
      The
      election to defer Compensation shall be in the form attached as Appendix
      3.

     

    3.4 Distribution
      Election.
      Each distribution
      election of an Participant as provided in Section 3.2 of this Plan shall be
      in
      writing, signed by the Participant, and delivered to Company, together with
      all
      other documents required under the provisions of this Plan, at least twenty
      (20)
      days prior to the beginning of the Plan Year with respect to which the
      distribution election is to apply; provided, however, that a Participant who
      is
      elected as a director during a Plan Year and becomes eligible immediately to
      participate in the Plan shall have twenty (20) days from the date of such
      election in which to submit the required election documents for the then-current
      Plan Year. For the Plan Year beginning August 1, 1999 only, each Participant
      shall have until August 31, 1999, in which to make a distribution election
      for
      that Plan Year. Any distribution election made by Participant shall be
      irrevocable with respect to any Compensation covered by such election.
      Participant's distribution election shall be in the form attached hereto as
      Appendix 2. Benefits payable to a Participant from a Stock Account shall only
      be
      paid to such Participant as a distribution of Common Stock plus cash for
      fractional shares. Benefits payable to a Participant from a Cash Account shall
      only be paid to such Participant in cash.

    3.5 Payment
      Upon
      Change in Control.
      Notwithstanding
      any other provisions of this Plan, the aggregate balances credited to and held
      in the Participants' Cash Account or Stock Account shall be distributed to
      Participants in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of a Change in Control,
      as
      defined in Section 5.1.

     

    3.6 Hardship.

     

    (a) A
      Participant may
      apply for distributions from his or her Cash Account or Stock Account to the
      extent that the Participant demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of
      the
      Committee that he or she needs the funds due to Hardship. For purposes of this
      Section 3.6, a distribution is made on account of Hardship only if the
      distribution is made on account of an unforeseeable immediate and heavy
      financial need of the Participant and is necessary to satisfy that financial
      need. Whether a Participant has an immediate and heavy financial need shall
      be
      determined by the Committee based on all relevant facts and circumstances,
      and
      shall include, but not be limited to: the need to pay funeral expenses of a
      family member; the need to pay expenses for medical care for Participant, the
      Participant's spouse or any dependent of Participant; or payments necessary
      to
      prevent the eviction of Participant from Participant's principal residence
      or
      foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence. A Hardship distribution shall
      not
      exceed the amount required to relieve the financial need of the Participant,
      nor
      shall a Hardship distribution be made if the need may be satisfied from other
      resources reasonably available to the Participant. For purposes of this
      paragraph, a Participant's resources shall be deemed to include those assets
      of
      the Participant's spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to
      the
      Participant. Prior to approving a Hardship distribution, Company shall require
      the Participant to certify in writing that the Participant's financial need
      cannot reasonably be relieved:

     

    (i)
 through
      reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

     

    (ii) by
      cessation of
      elective contributions or Participant contributions under the Plan;
      or

     

    (iii) by
      other
      distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from plans
      maintained by the Company or any other organization maintaining a plan in which
      the Participant participates, or by borrowing from commercial sources on
      reasonable commercial terms, in an amount sufficient to satisfy the
      need.

     

    (b) Any
      Participant
      receiving a Hardship distribution under this section shall be ineligible to
      defer any additional compensation under the Plan until the first day of the
      Plan
      Year following the second anniversary of the date of the distribution. In
      addition, a new Election of Deferral must be submitted to the Company as a
      condition of participation in the Plan.

     

    3.7 Participant's
      Rights Unsecured.
      The right of the
      Participant or his or her designated Beneficiary to receive a distribution
      hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company,
      and neither the Participant nor his or her designated Beneficiary shall have
      any
      rights in or against any amount credited to his or her Cash Account or Stock
      Account or any other specific assets of the Company, except as otherwise
      provided in the Trust. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken
      pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust
      of
      any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Plan and the Company or any
      other person.

     

    3.8 Investment
      of
      Contribution.

     

    (a) The
      investment
      options available to each Participant shall be determined by the Company and
      set
      forth in a separate written document, a copy of which shall be attached hereto
      and by this reference is incorporated herein. Each Participant shall have the
      sole and exclusive right to direct the Trustee as to the investment of his
      or
      her Cash Account in accordance with policies and procedures implemented by
      the
      Trustee. Company shall not be liable for any investment decision made by any
      Participant while such funds are held by the Trustee.

    (b) Cash
      Accounts shall
      be credited with the actual financial performance or earnings generated by
      such
      investments directed by the Participant and made by the Trustee, until the
      Cash
      Account has been fully distributed to the Participant or to the Participant's
      designated Beneficiary. Stock Accounts shall only be credited with any dividends
      or other distributions received in respect of the Shares. 

     

    (c) Notwithstanding
      in
      this Section 3.8 to the contrary, the Committee may determine not to take
      account of Participant's designated investments and determine to have the
      Participant's Account invested in any other manner as the Committee shall
      determine.

     

    3.9 Voting
      of Shares
      Held in Stock Accounts.
      At the time of
      mailing of notice of each annual or special stockholders' meeting of the
      Company, the Company shall send a copy of the notice and all proxy solicitation
      materials to each Participant who has Shares held in a Stock Account, together
      with a voting direction form for return to the proxy holder or its designee.
      The
      Participant shall have the right to direct the proxy holder as to the manner
      in
      which the proxy holder is to vote the Shares credited to the Participant's
      Stock
      Account. The proxy holder shall not vote shares for which it has received no
      directions from the Participant. With respect to all rights other than the
      right
      to vote, the Company shall follow the directions of the Participant and if
      no
      such directions are received, the directions of the Committee.

    DESIGNATION
      OF BENEFICIARY

     

    4.1 Designation
      of
      Beneficiary.
      Participant may
      designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive any amount due hereunder
      by
      Participant via written notice thereof to Company at any time prior to his
      or
      her death and may revoke or change the Beneficiary designated therein without
      the Beneficiary's consent by written notice delivered to Company at any time
      and
      from time to time prior to Participant's death. If Participant is married and
      a
      resident of a community property state, one half of any amount due hereunder
      which is the result of an amount contributed to the Plan during such marriage
      is
      the community property of the Participant's spouse and Participant may designate
      a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive only the Participant's one-half
      interest. If Participant shall have failed to designate a Beneficiary, or if
      no
      such Beneficiary shall survive him or her, then such amount shall be paid to
      his
      or her estate. Designations of Beneficiaries shall be in the form attached
      hereto in Appendix 4.

      this Trust, a "Change of Control" means the happening of any of the
      following:

     

    (i) When
      any "person,"
      as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange
      Act
      of 1934 as amended ("Exchange Act") (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or

      or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
      Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty
      percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
      outstanding securities, where such person's beneficial ownership of the

    (ii) The
      occurrence of a
      transaction requiring shareholder approval, and involving the sale of all or
      substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger of the Company
      with
      or into another corporation, where such merger was not initiated by the Company
      and in which Company is not the surviving parent entity; or

     

    (iii) A
      change in the
      composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, as a result of which
      fewer
      than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. "Incumbent Directors"
      shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of April
      30,
      2001, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors
      of the Company with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the
      Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall not
      include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an
      actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to
      the
      Company); or

      Agreement.
      The Company may
      establish the Trust for the purpose of retaining assets set aside by Company
      pursuant to the Trust Agreement for payment of all or a portion of the amounts
      payable pursuant to the Plan. Any benefits not paid from the Trust shall be
      paid
      solely from Company's general funds, and any benefits paid from the Trust shall
      be credited against and reduced by a corresponding amount the Company's
      liability to Participants under the Plan. No special or separate fund, other
      than the Trust Agreement, shall be established and no other segregation of
      assets shall be made to assure the payment of any benefits hereunder. All Trust
      Funds shall be subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company in
      the
      event the Company is Insolvent as defined in Section 3 of the Trust Agreement.
      The obligations of the Company to pay benefits under the Plan constitute an
      unfunded, unsecured promise to pay and Participants shall have no greater rights
      than general creditors of the Company.

      Against
      Company.
      Except as

      COMPENSATION

    

    Section
      3.1
Deferred
      Compensation.

    

    (a)
      Each
      participating Employee may elect, in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Plan,
      to defer annually the receipt of a portion of the compensation otherwise payable
      to him or her by Employer during each year or portion of a year that the
      Employee shall be employed by the Employer. Any compensation deferred pursuant
      to this Section shall be recorded by the Employer in an Account, maintained
      in
      the name of the Employee, which Account shall be credited with a dollar amount
      equal to the total amount of compensation deferred during each Plan Year under
      the Plan together with earnings thereon credited in accordance with Section
      3.7.
      The amount or percentage of compensation that Employee elects to defer under
      this Section 3.1 will remain constant for the year of the election, and will
      continue in force for each successive year until or unless suspended or modified
      by the filing of a subsequent election with the Employer by the Employee in
      accordance with Section 3.3 of the Plan. All deferrals pursuant to this Section
      3.1 shall be fully vested at all times. Deferral elections shall be subject
      to a
      minimum dollar and maximum percentage amounts as follows: (i) the minimum annual
      deferral amount, which must be withheld from base salary, is $5,000, and (ii)
      the maximum deferral percentage amount is 80% of Eligible
      Compensation.

    

    (b)
      Except as
      provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 3.1, Employer shall not be obligated
      to make any contribution to the Plan on behalf of any Employee at any time.
      Employer may make discretionary contributions to the Plan on behalf of one
      or
      more Employees. Employer contributions made to the Plan, if any, shall be
      determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Employer, and may be
      made
      without regard to whether the Employee to whose Account such contribution is
      credited has made, or is making, contributions pursuant to Section 3.1(a).
      The
      Employer shall not be bound or obligated to apply any specific formula or basis
      for calculating the amount of any Employer contributions and Employer shall
      have
      sole and absolute discretion as to the allocation of Employer contributions
      among Employee Accounts. The use of any particular formula or basis for making
      a
      contribution in one year shall not bind or obligate the Employer to use such
      formula or basis in any other year. Employer contributions may be subject to
      a
      substantial risk of forfeiture in accordance with the terms of a vesting
      schedule, which may be selected by the Employer in its sole and absolute
      discretion.

    

    (c)
      To the extent
      that any Employee participating in this Plan has elected to make contributions
      to the Employer’s qualified 401(k) plan that the Employer projects to be in
      excess of limitations imposed under the Code’s non-discrimination rules or other
      contribution limitations applicable to such plans (an “excess 401(k)
      contribution”), the Employer shall not make such contributions to the 401(k)
      plan, but rather shall deposit any such contribution directly to the Employee’s
      Account in this Plan. If any such contribution is made by the Employer, the
      Employer also shall contribute to the Employee’s Account in the Plan any
      matching contributions that Employer would have been obligated to make to the
      Employee’s 401(k) account if the excess 401(k) contribution had been made to the
      Employee’s 401(k) plan account.

    

    (d)
      Employees
      eligible for the officer Long Term Incentive Plan may elect to defer monies
      received as a result of that plan into the deferred compensation plan. Such
      deferral determination must be made in the month of December prior to the final
      year of the cycle that determines the ultimate pay out of the plan. An employee
      may also decide to convert all, or a portion of, their pay out to BMHC stock
      which will be issued in their name in an amount based on the market price on
      the
      day that the compensation committee of the board approves the pay out. Such
      decision to convert part of the deferral to stock must also be made prior to
      the
      final year of the cycle. Distribution election for the stock must be for the
      entire amount of stock deferred for that year following at least one year of
      deferral.

    3.2 Payment
      Of
      Account Balances.

    

    (a)
      The Employee
      shall elect whether he or she will receive distribution of his or her entire
      Account or a portion of their account, in percentages or dollars: (i) upon
      reaching a specified age, (ii) upon passage of a specified number of years,
      or
      (iii) upon termination of employment of Employee with Employer, as elected
      by
      Employee in accordance with Appendix 2. The Employee shall also elect to receive
      all amounts payable to him or her in a lump sum or in equal monthly installments
      over a designated period of five or ten years, pursuant to the provisions of
      paragraph (e) of this Section. Any changes to such elections regarding the
      time
      and form of distribution shall be required prior to the year of participation
      and must be in affect for at least one year prior to a distribution while
      continuously employed. If the eligible employee’s most recent change of payment
      designation has not been filed one (1) calendar year prior to the year in which
      the employee ceases as an employee of the Company, the prior election shall
      be
      used to determine the form of payment. These elections shall be made in
      accordance with Section 3.3 of this Plan.

    

    (b)
      Distributions
      shall be made to the maximum extent allowable under the election made by
      Employee, except that no distribution shall be made to the extent that the
      receipt of such distribution, when combined with the receipt of all other
      "applicable employee remuneration" (as defined in Code Section 162(m)(4)),
      would
      cause any remuneration received by the Employee to be nondeductible by the
      Employer under Code Section 162(m)(1). The portion of any distributable amount
      that is not distributed by operation of this Section 3.2(b) shall be distributed
      in subsequent years in the manner elected by the Employee until the Employee's
      Account has been fully liquidated. For Employees who have elected to receive
      payment over five or ten years, the five- or ten-year period (whichever is
      applicable) shall be automatically extended, when necessary to satisfy the
      requirements of this subsection, for one-year periods until all Account balances
      have been distributed.

    

    (c)
      Upon
      termination of Employee's employment with Employer by reason of death or
      Permanent Disability prior to the date when payment of Account balances
      otherwise would commence under the provisions of Section 3.2(a), Employee or
      Employee's designated Beneficiary will be entitled to receive all amounts
      credited to the Account(s) of Employee as of the date of his or her death
      or Permanent Disability (notwithstanding any election to receive distributions
      under clause (i) of Section 3.2(a)). Upon termination of Employee's employment
      with Employer by reason other than death or Permanent Disability prior to the
      date when payment of Account balances otherwise would commence under the
      provisions of Section 3.2(a), the Employer may, in the sole discretion of the
      Committee, distribute to Employee or Employee's designated Beneficiary all
      amounts credited to the Employee's Account as of the date of such
      termination (notwithstanding any election to receive distributions under clause
      (i) of Section 3.2(a)). Said amounts shall be payable in a lump sum or in
      installments over a designated period of years, pursuant to the provisions
      of
      paragraph (e) of this Section.

    

    (d)
      Upon the death
      of Employee prior to complete distribution to him or her of the entire balance
      of his or her Account (and after the date of termination of employment with
      Employer), the balance of his or her Account(s) on the date of death shall
      be
      payable to Employee's designated Beneficiary pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
      Section.

    

    (e)
      The Employer
      shall distribute or direct distribution of the balance of amounts previously
      credited to Employee's Account, including earnings (if any) credited thereto
      pursuant to Section 3.7, in a lump sum, or in monthly installments over a period
      of five (5) years or ten (10) years as Employee shall designate. Distribution
      shall be made or commence on the first day of the month next following: (i)
      the
      date specified in clause (i) of Section 3.2(a), if the Employee has elected
      to
      receive distribution under such clause, (ii) the date upon which Employee's
      employment with Employer terminates in the event of a distribution pursuant
      to
      paragraphs (a) or (c) of this Section 3.2 (other than a distribution governed
      by
      clause (i)), or (iii) the date of Employee's death in the event of a
      distribution pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 3.2. Subsequent
      installments, if any, shall be made on the first day of each month following
      the
      first installment as determined by Employer. The amount of each installment
      shall be calculated by dividing the Account balance as of the date of the
      distribution by the number of installments remaining pursuant to the Employee's
      distribution election. Each such installment, if any, shall take into account
      interest or other earnings credited to the Employee's balance of the Account
      remaining unpaid. The Employee's distribution election shall be in the form
      attached hereto as Appendix 2.

    (f)
      An Employee
      (or, after an Employee's death, his or her Beneficiary) may elect, at any time,
      to withdraw all or part of his or her Account balance less a withdrawal penalty
      equal to 10% of such amount (the net amount shall be referred to as the
      "Withdrawal Amount"). This election can be made at any time, before or after
      Retirement, Permanent Disability, death or termination of employment, and
      whether or not the Employee (or Beneficiary) is in the process of being paid
      pursuant to an installment payment schedule. The Employee (or his or her
      Beneficiary) shall make this election by giving the Committee advance written
      notice of the election in a form determined from time to time by the Committee.
      The Employee (or his or her Beneficiary) shall be paid the Withdrawal Amount
      within 20 days of his or her election. Once the Withdrawal Amount is paid,
      the
      withdrawal penalty shall be permanently forfeited. 

    

    3.3 Election
      To
      Defer Compensation.
      Each election of
      an Employee to defer compensation as provided in Section 3.1 of this Plan shall
      be in writing, signed by the Employee, and delivered to Employer, together
      with
      all other documents required under the preceding provisions of this Plan to
      be
      submitted herewith, at least twenty (20) days prior to the beginning of the
      Plan
      Year in which the compensation to be deferred is otherwise payable to Employee;
      provided, however, that an Employee who is hired or promoted during a Plan
      Year
      to a position of eligibility for participation in the Plan shall have twenty
      (20) days from the date of such hiring or promotion in which to submit the
      required election documents for the then-current Plan Year. For the Plan Year
      beginning August 1, 1999 only, each Employee shall have until August 31, 1999,
      in which to make an election for that Plan Year. Such election (and any
      subsequent election) will continue until suspended or modified in writing
      delivered by Employee to Employer, which new election shall only apply to
      compensation otherwise payable to Employee after the end of the Plan Year in
      which such election is delivered to Employer. Any deferral election made by
      Employee shall be irrevocable with respect to any compensation covered by such
      election, including compensation payable in the Plan Year in which the election
      suspending or modifying the prior deferral election is delivered to Employer.
      Absent a suspension, modification, or subsequent annual election, such original
      election shall remain in effect from year to year until the date for
      distribution of the Employee's Account elected under Section 3.1. The Employer
      shall withhold the amount or percentage of base salary specified to be deferred
      in equal amounts for each payroll period and shall withhold the amount or
      percentage of cash bonus specified to be deferred at the time or times such
      bonus is or otherwise would be paid to the Employee. For purposes of this
      Section and Appendix 3 hereto, "base salary" means an Employee's regular annual
      compensation for a Plan Year, determined as of the first day of that year,
      excluding bonuses, commissions, overtime, incentive payments, non-monetary
      awards, and other special compensation, before reduction for compensation
      deferred pursuant to all qualified and non-qualified plans of the Employer.
      The
      election to defer compensation shall be in the form attached as Appendix 3.
      For
      purposes of this Section and Appendix 3 hereto, "cash bonus" shall mean amounts
      (if any) awarded under the annual bonus policy maintained by the Company,any
      commissions earned on sales and any payments made under the company’s Long Term
      Incentive Plan.

    3.4 Payment
      Upon
      Change in Control.
      Notwithstanding
      any other provisions of this Plan, the aggregate balances credited to and held
      in the Employee's Accounts shall be distributed to the Employee in a lump sum
      within ten (10) days of a Change in Control, as defined in Section
      5.1.

    

    3.5 Hardship.
      (a) An Employee
      may apply for distributions from his or her Accounts to the extent that the
      Employee demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Committee that
      he or
      she needs the funds due to Hardship. For purposes of this Section 3.5, a
      distribution is made on account of Hardship only if the distribution is made
      on
      account of an unforeseeable immediate and heavy financial need of the Employee
      and is necessary to satisfy that financial need. Whether an Employee has an
      immediate and heavy financial need shall be determined by the Committee based
      on
      all relevant facts and circumstances, and shall include, but not be limited
      to:
      the need to pay funeral expenses of a family member; the need to pay expenses
      for medical care for Employee, the Employee's spouse or any dependent of
      Employee; or payments necessary to prevent the eviction of Employee from
      Employee's principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence.
      A Hardship distribution shall not exceed the amount required to relieve the
      financial need of the Employee, nor shall a Hardship distribution be made if
      the
      need may be satisfied from other resources reasonably available to the Employee.
      For purposes of this paragraph, an Employee's resources shall be deemed to
      include those assets of the Employee's spouse and minor children that are
      reasonably available to the Employee. Prior to approving a Hardship
      distribution, Employer shall require the Employee to certify in writing that
      the
      Employee's financial need cannot reasonably be relieved:

    

    (i) through
      reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

    

    (ii) by
      liquidation of
      the Employee's assets (excluding only the Employee's principal
      residence);

    

    (iii) by
      cessation of
      elective contributions or Employee contributions under the Plan; or

    

    (iv) by
      other
      distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from plans
      maintained by the Employer or by any other employer, or by borrowing from
      commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms, in an amount sufficient
      to
      satisfy the need. 

    

    (b)
      Any Employee
      receiving a Hardship distribution under this section shall be ineligible to
      defer any additional compensation under the Plan until the first day of the
      month following the two-year anniversary of the date of the
      distribution.

    

    3.6 Employee's
      Rights Unsecured.
      The right of the
      Employee or his or her designated Beneficiary to receive a distribution
      hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the
      Employer, and neither the Employee nor his or her designated Beneficiary shall
      have any rights in or against any amount credited to his or her Account or
      any
      other specific assets of the Employer, except as otherwise provided in the
      Trust.

    

    3.7 Investment
      of
      Contribution.

    

    (a)
      The investment
      options available to each Employee shall be determined by the Employer and
      set
      forth in a separate written document, a copy of which shall be attached hereto
      and by this reference is incorporated herein. Each Employee shall have the sole
      and exclusive right to direct the Trustee as to the investment of his or her
      Accounts in accordance with policies, procedures and documentation implemented
      by the Trustee. Employer shall not be liable for any investment decision made
      by
      any Employee while such funds are held by the Trustee.

    (b)
      All amounts
      credited to an Account shall be credited with the actual earnings (hereinafter
      and previously sometimes referred to as "interest or other earnings") generated
      by such amounts, from investments made by the Trustee, until the Account has
      been fully distributed to the Employee or to the Beneficiary designated by
      the
      Employee in a writing delivered to the Employer.

    

    (c)
      Employer shall
      credit interest or other earnings on investment of amounts in any and all
      Accounts to the respective Accounts on the date received until final
      distribution of the Accounts.

    DESIGNATION
      OF BENEFICIARY

    

    4.1 Designation
      of
      Beneficiary.
      Employee may
      designate a Beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any amount due hereunder
      by
      Employee via written notice thereof to Employer at any time prior to his or
      her
      death and may revoke or change the Beneficiary designated therein without the
      Beneficiary's consent by written notice delivered to Employer at any time and
      from time to time prior to Employee's death, provided that any such designation
      or change of designation naming a Beneficiary other than a married Employee's
      spouse shall be effective in the case of an Employee resident in a community
      property state only if spousal consent is provided. If Employee shall have
      failed to designate a Beneficiary, or if no such Beneficiary shall survive
      him
      or her, then such amount shall be paid to his or her estate. Designations of
      Beneficiaries shall be in the form attached hereto as Appendix 4.

    5.1 Change
      in
      Control.
      For purposes of
      this Trust, a "Change of Control" means the happening of any of the
      following:

    

    (i)
      When any
      "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities
      Exchange Act (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or a Company employee benefit
      plan, including any trustee of such plan acting as trustee) 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 fifty percent (50%)
      or
      more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;
      or

    

    (ii)
      The occurrence
      of a transaction requiring shareholder approval, and involving the sale of
      all
      or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger or consolidation

    TRUST
      PROVISIONS

    

    6.1
Trust
      Agreement.
      The Employer may
      establish the Trust for the purpose of retaining assets set aside by Employer
      pursuant to the Trust Agreement for payment of all or a portion of the amounts
      payable pursuant to the Plan. Any benefits not paid from the Trust shall be
      paid
      from Employer's general funds, and any benefits paid from the Trust shall be
      credited against and reduce by a corresponding amount the Employer's liability
      to Employees under the Plan. All Trust Funds shall be subject to the claims
      of
      general creditors of the Employer in the event the Employer is Insolvent as
      defined in Section 3 of the Trust Agreement. The obligations of the
      Employer to pay benefits under the Plan constitute an unfunded, unsecured
      promise to pay and Employees shall have no greater rights than general creditors
      of the Employer.

      including a retroactive amendment. Any such amendment shall become effective
      upon the date stated therein, and shall be binding on all Employees, except
      as
      otherwise provided in such amendment; provided, however, that said amendment
      shall not affect benefits adversely to the affected Employee without the
      Employee's written approval. Benefits accruing to an Employee pursuant to any
      employment agreement in effect between Employer and Employee which entitles
      the
      Employee to participate in and to certain rights under this Plan shall not

    GENERAL
      AND
      MISCELLANEOUS

    

    9.1 Rights
      Against
      Employer.
      Except as
      expressly provided by the Plan, the establishment of this Plan shall not be
      construed as giving to any Employee or to any person whomsoever, any legal,
      equitable or other rights against the Employer, or against its officers,
      directors, agents or shareholders, or as giving to any Employee or Beneficiary
      any equity or other interest in the assets, business or shares of Employer
      stock
      or giving any Employee the right to be retained in the employment of the
      Employer. All Employees shall be subject to discharge (with or without cause)
      to
      the same extent they would have been if this Plan had never been adopted. The
      rights of an Employee hereunder shall be solely those of an unsecured general
      creditor of the Employer. 

    

    9.2 Assignment
      or
      Transfer.
      No right, title
      or interest of any kind in the Plan shall be transferable or assignable by

    9.3 Severability.
      If any provision
      of this Plan shall be declared illegal or invalid for any reason, said
      illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this
      Plan
      but shall be fully severable, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced
      as
      if said illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

    

    9.4 Construction.
      The article and
      section headings and numbers are included only for convenience of reference
      and
      are not to be taken as limiting or extending the meaning of any of the terms
      and
      provisions of this Plan. Whenever appropriate, words used in the singular shall
      include the plural or the plural may be read as the singular. When used herein,
      the masculine gender includes the feminine gender. 

    

    9.5 Governing
      Law.
      The validity and
      effect of this Plan and the rights and obligations of all persons affected
      hereby shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the
      State of Delaware unless superseded by federal law, which shall govern
      correspondingly. 

     

    9.6 Payment
      Due to
      Incompetence.
      If the Committee
      receives evidence that an Employee or Beneficiary entitled to receive any
      payment under the Plan is physically or mentally incompetent to receive such
      payment, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct the
      payment to any other person or Trust which has been legally appointed by the
      courts. 

    

    9.7 Taxes.
      All amounts
      payable hereunder shall be reduced by any and all federal, state, and local
      taxes imposed upon Employee or his or her Beneficiary which are required to
      be
      paid or withheld by Employer. The determination of Employer regarding applicable
      income and employment tax withholding requirements shall be final and binding
      on
      Employee.

    

    9.8 Insurance. In
      the event that
      any Employee elects, in his or her sole discretion, to independently purchase
      an
      insurance policy covering the inability of the Plan or the Trust to make any
      payments to which Employee is entitled under the Plan or the Trust, the Employer
      shall use its best efforts to facilitate the payment by Employee of any
      applicable excise taxes which become due as the result of the payment of
      premiums under such policy. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
      an
      endorsement by the Employer of the purchase of such a policy or a recommendation
      by the Employer that the purchase of such a policy is necessary or desirable
      as
      the result of Employee's participation in the Plan.

    

    9.9 Attorney's
      Fees. Employer
      shall pay
      the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by any Employee in an action brought
      against Employer to enforce Employee's rights under the Plan, provided that
      such
      fees shall only be payable in the event that the Employee prevails in such
      action.
