BANCSHARES, INC.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
WITH 401(k) PROVISIONS

SECTION 1 —PURPOSE

	1.1 		PURPOSE
AND EFFECTIVE DATE. Effective January 1, 1997 (the “Effective Date”)
Guaranty Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), hereby amends
and restates the Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan With 401(k)
Provisions (the “Plan”), established to provide eligible employees with an
opportunity to accumulate capital for their future economic security by acquiring stock
ownership interests in the Company.  

	 	
The
Plan received a favorable IRS determination letter on August 24, 1993, and an amendment
required as a condition of the determination letter was adopted on September 1, 1993. The
purpose of this amendment and restatement is to maintain the Plan’s tax exempt
status by incorporating those changes to qualification requirements mandated by the Small
Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (“SBJPA”) and the Taxpayer Relief Act of
1997 (“TRA-97”). 

	 	
The
Plan is a stock bonus plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). It includes this Plan and
the related Trust Agreement. The Plan is intended to be an employee stock ownership plan
within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code and Section 407(d)(6) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). 

	1.2 		TRUST
AGREEMENT AND PLAN ADMINISTRATION. All contributions made under the Plan will be
held, managed and controlled by the trustee, or successor thereto, (the “Trustee”)
acting under a trust which forms a part of the Plan. The terms of the trust are set forth
in a trust agreement known as the Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership
Trust (the “Trust”). The authority to control and manage the operation and
administration of the Plan is vested in a Committee (the “Administrative Committee”)
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. The members of the Administrative
Committee shall be “named fiduciaries” as described in Section 402 of the ERISA,
with respect to their authority under the Plan. The Administrative Committee shall be the
administrator of the Plan and shall have rights, duties and obligations of an “administrator” as
that term is defined in section 3(16)(A) of ERISA and section 414(g) of the Code.

	1.3 		NO

except as specifically provided in Article VI of the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 4 — PLAN
CONTRIBUTIONS

	4.1 		ANNUAL
EMPLOYER NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS. For each Plan Year, each Employer shall make
Nonelective Contributions in the form of cash or shares of Company Stock, or both, in
such amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion with
respect to that Employer, which amounts shall be delivered to the Trustee. Nonelective
Contributions shall be paid in cash in such amounts and at such times as may be needed to
provide the Trustee with cash sufficient to pay any currently maturing obligations under
an Acquisition Loan. In no event will an Employer’s Contribution for any Plan Year
exceed the lesser of :  

			(a) 		the
maximum amount deductible by that Employer as an expense for Federal income tax purposes;
or

	

11

	

			(b)		the
maximum amount which, together with the amounts released from a Loan Suspense Account
pursuant to Section 4.2 or a Suspense Account pursuant to Section 8.4 for that Plan Year,
can be credited for that year in accordance with the contribution limitation provisions
of Section 8.4. 

	 	
An
Employer’s Nonelective Contribution under this Section 4.1 for any Plan Year will be
due on the last day of the Plan Year and, if not paid by the end of that year, shall be
payable to the Trustee as soon thereafter as practicable, but not later than the time
prescribed for filing the Employer’s Federal income tax return for that Plan Year,
including any extensions of time, without interest. 

	4.2 		ACQUISITION
LOANS. The Trustee may incur Acquisition Loans from time to time to finance the
acquisition of Company Stock for the Trust or to repay a prior Acquisition Loan. An
Acquisition Loan shall be for a specific term, shall bear a reasonable rate of interest,
and shall not be payable on demand except in the event of default. An Acquisition Loan
may be secured by a collateral pledge of the Financed Shares so acquired and any other
Plan assets which are permissible security under the provisions of 26 CFR Section
54.4975-7(b). No other assets of the Plan or Trust may be pledged as collateral for an
Acquisition Loan, and no lender shall have any recourse against any other Trust assets.  

	 	
The
Financed Shares shall initially be credited to a Loan Suspense Account and allocated to
Participants’ KSOP Stock Accounts only as payments of principal and interest on the
Acquisition Loan are made by the Trustees. Payments of principal and interest on any
Acquisition Loan shall be made by the Trustee only from Employer Nonelective and Matching
Contributions paid in cash to enable the Trustee to repay such loan, from Elective
Contributions of Participants who so direct, from earnings attributable to such
contributions, and any cash dividends received by the Trustee on Financed Shares acquired
with the proceeds of the Acquisition Loan (including such contributions, earnings and
dividends received during or prior to the year of repayment less such payments in prior
years), whether or not allocated. The number of Financed Shares to be released from the
Loan Suspense Account shall be determined in the following manner: 

			(a)		Priority
Allocation. First, there shall be released a number of shares with an aggregate cost
basis equal to the Elective Contributions, if any, of Participants who have so directed
the application of such contributions to payments of principal on the Acquisition Loan. 

			(b)		Principal
and Interest Method. Next, there shall be released a number of shares based upon the
ratio that the payments of principal and interest on the Acquisition Loan for that Plan
Year bears to the total remaining payments of principal and interest projected on the
Acquisition Loan over the duration of the Acquisition Loan repayment period, subject to
the provisions of Section 8.4. The number of future payments under the Acquisition Loan
must be definitely ascertainable and must be determined without taking into account any
possible extensions or renewal periods. If the interest rate under the Acquisition Loan
is variable, the interest to be paid in future years must be computed by using the
interest rate applicable as of the end of the Plan Year. 

	

12

	

			(c)		Principal
Only Method. Alternatively, in the same manner as described in (b) above, except that
such number shall be based solely on the amount of principal paid for the Plan Year in
relation to the sum of such amount plus the principal to be paid for all future years;
and provided that: 

					(1) 		the
Acquisition Loan must provide for annual payments of principal and interest at a
cumulative rate that is not less rapid at any time than level annual payments of such
amounts for 10 years;  

					(2)  		interest
in any payment is disregarded only to the extent that it would be determined to be
interest under standard loan amortization tables; and 

					(3) 		the
alternative described in this subsection (b) is not applicable from the time that, by
reason of a renewal, extension or financing, the sum of the expired duration of the
Acquisition Loan, the renewal period, the extension period, and the duration of a new
Acquisition Loan exceeds 10 years.  

SECTION 5 — ELECTIVE
CONTRIBUTIONS

	5.1 		IN
GENERAL. A Participant may authorize his Employer to contribute to the Trust on his
behalf Elective Contributions. Such Elective Contributions shall be stated as either a
dollar amount or a whole percentage, and shall not be more than 15%, of the Participant’s
Adjusted Compensation. The total amount of Elective Contributions for any Plan Year shall
not exceed $7,000, multiplied by any cost of living adjustment factor prescribed by the
Secretary of the Treasury under Section 415(d) of the Code. Any Elective Contribution in
excess of the aforementioned limitation, plus any income allocable thereto, shall be
returned to the Participant no later than the first April 15th following the
close of the tax year in which such contributions were made. The Elective Contribution
shall be paid by the Employer to the Trustee no later than the 15th business
day of the month following the month in which the Contributions are received by the
Employer.  

	 	
Each
Participant electing to have his Employer contribute Elective Contributions on his behalf
during the plan year shall file a written notice with the Administrative Committee at
least thirty (30) days prior to the January 1st or July 1st that he
intends such election to take effect. This requirement shall be waived on adoption of the
plan and each Participant shall be given a reasonable time to elect Elective
Contributions. Such written notice shall contain an election of the percentage of his
Adjusted Compensation to be contributed and authorization for his Employer to reduce his
compensation by such amount. Elective Contributions may be suspended at any time by
giving prior written notice. After suspension, the Participant shall not be eligible for
further Elective Contributions until the beginning of the next Plan Year. A Participant
may change the percentage of his Elective Contributions only as of the January 1st or
July 1st of any Plan year, but upon not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice. A Participant shall be fully vested at all times in the portion of his
Account from Elective Contributions. 

	

13

	

	5.2 		ADP
LIMIT. For any Plan Year, the Administrative Committee shall have the right to limit
or reduce the Elective Contributions of Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees
in order to insure that the actual deferral percentage limitation under Code Section
401(k)(3) (hereinafter “ADP Limit”) is not exceeded. Furthermore, in accordance
with 26 CFR Section 1.401(k)-1(f), the Employer may make additional Qualified Nonelective
Contributions and/or Matching Contributions or may distribute or recharacterize such
contributions made during the Plan year in order to provide that the ADP Limit is not
exceeded. The ADP Limit is equal to the greater of Limit 1 or Limit 2:  

			Limit 1:		
The average Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year of Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees may not exceed one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Actual
Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of all other Participants; or 

			Limit 2:		
The Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year of Participants who are Highly
Compensated may not exceed the lesser of: 

					(a)  		The
Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of all other Participants, plus two
percent (2%), or 

					(b) 		The
Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of all other Participants,
multiplied by two hundred percent (200%).  

	 	
The
Actual Deferral Percentage (“ADP”) with respect to any specific group of
Participants for a Plan Year shall mean the average of the ratios (calculated separately
for each Participant in such group) of (A) the amount of Elective Contributions paid into
the Trust Fund on behalf of each Participant for such Plan Year to (B) the Participant’s
Adjusted Compensation for such Plan Year(such ratio hereinafter referred to as “ADR”).
In the case of a Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee who is eligible to have
Elective Contributions paid in to a Trust Fund to his account under two or more plans
maintained by the Employer, the ADP shall be determined as if all such Elective
Contributions were made under a single arrangement. 

	

14

	

	 	
For
purposes of determining the ADP, the Plan will take into account the ADR of all eligible
employees. An eligible employee is any employee who is directly eligible to make a cash
or deferred election under the plan for all or a portion of a Plan Year, and includes: an
employee who would be a Plan participant but for the failure to make required
contributions; an employee whose eligibility to make Elective Contributions has been
suspended because of an election (other than certain one-time elections) not to
participate, a take a hardship distribution, or to obtain a participant loan; and an
employee who cannot defer because of the Section 415 limits on Annual Additions. In the
case of an eligible employee who makes no Elective Contributions, the ADR that is to be
included in determining the ADP is zero. 

	 	
For
purposes of determining whether a plan satisfies the ADP Limit, all Elective
Contributions that are made under two or more plans that are aggregated for purposes of
Sections 401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)) are to be treated as
made under a single plan. If two or more plans are permissively aggregated for purposes
of Section 401(k), the aggregated plans must also satisfy Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b)
as though they were a single plan. 

	 	
Qualified
Nonelective Contributions and Matching Contributions may be treated as Elective
Contributions for purposes of the ADP Limit only if such contributions are nonforfeitable
when made and subject to the same distribution restrictions that apply to Elective
Contributions. Qualified Nonelective Contributions which may be treated as Elective
Contributions must satisfy these requirements without regard to whether they are actually
taken into account as Elective Contributions. Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or
Matching Contributions may be treated as Elective Contributions only if the conditions
described in 26 CFR Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(5) are satisfied. 

	 	
5.3
REMEDIES FOR CONTRIBUTIONS IN EXCESS OF ADP LIMIT. In the event the ADP Limit is
exceeded, the amount of excess contributions for a Highly Compensated Participant shall
be either recharacterized or distributed pursuant to 26 CFR Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(2), and
will be determined in the following manner. First, the ADR of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the highest ADR will be reduced to the extent necessary to satisfy the ADP
Limit or to cause such Participant’s ADR to equal the ADR of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the next highest ADR. Second, this process is repeated until the ADP Limit
is satisfied. For each such Highly Compensated Employee whose ADR is reduced, the amount
of such Participant’s excess contributions is equal to the Participant’s total
Qualified Nonelective and Elective Contributions (determined prior to the application of
this paragraph) minus the amount determined by multiplying the Participant’s ADR
(determined after application of this paragraph) by such Participant’s Compensation. 

	

15

	

	 	
The
amount of a Participant’s excess contributions that is actually distributed must be
determined on the basis of the leveling method required by Code Section 401(k)(8)(C), as
amended by the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996. This leveling method requires
that the distribution of excess contributions must be made on the basis of the dollar
amount of the contribution made by each Highly Compensated employee, rather than such
Participant’s ADR. 

	 	
The
amount of a Participant’s excess contributions distributed or recharacterized
pursuant to 26 CFR Section 1.401(k)-1(f) shall be reduced by any excess deferrals
previously distributed or recharacterized during such Plan Year. The distribution or
recharacterization of any excess contribution is to be made prior to the two and one-half
month period following the end of the plan Year in which such excess contributions were
made. Any recharacterized excess contributions will remain subject to Plan provisions
applicable to Elective contributions. 

	 	
The
distribution or recharacterization of excess contributions will include the income
allocable thereto from the date such excess contributions were made until the date of the
distribution or recharacterization. The income for the Plan Year allocable to Elective
contributions will be multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the
excess contributions for the Participant for the Plan Year. The denominator is the sum of
(1) the total account balance of the Participant attributable to Elective contributions
and amounts treated as Elective contributions as of the beginning of the Plan Year, plus
(2) the Participant’s Elective contributions and amounts treated as Elective
contributions for the Plan Year. 

	 	
Excess
contributions will not be recharacterized with respect to a Highly Compensated Employee
to the extent that the recharacterized amounts exceed the maximum amount of employee
contributions (determined prior to applying Section 401(m)(2)(A) of the Code) that the
employee is permitted to make under the Plan in the absence of recharacterization. 

	5.4 		INVESTMENT
DIRECTION OF ELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Participant shall direct the Trustee concerning
the investment of the Participant’s Elective Contributions, subject to the following
conditions: 

	 	
(a)
A broad range of investments shall be offered to the Participants from which they can
select and direct the Trustee to invest in for their Elective Contribution Accounts,
including Company Stock; and 

	 	
(b)
With respect to any Elective Contributions directed to the payment of principal on an
Acquisition Loan, the Participant specifically acknowledges in his written investment
direction election the priority allocation provided in Section 4.2(a). 

	

16

	

	 	
(c)
The Administrative Committee shall adopt such rules and procedures as it deems advisable
with respect to all matters relating to the selection and use of the investments,
provided that all Participants are treated uniformly. 

SECTION 6 — MATCHING
CONTRIBUTIONS

	6.1 		IN
GENERAL. For each Plan Year, the Employer shall contribute to the Trust Matching
Contributions in such amount as may be determined in the discretion of the Board of
Directors. In no event shall a Matching Contribution exceed one
hundred percent (100%) of a Participant’s Elective Contributions or four percent
(4%) of a Participant’s Adjusted Compensation.  

	6.2 		ACP
LIMIT. For any Plan Year, the Administrative Committee shall have the right to limit
or reduce the Matching Contributions allocable to the Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees in order to insure that the Actual Contribution Percentage Limit
under Code Section 401(m) (hereinafter “ACP Limit”) is not exceeded. The ACP
Limit is equal to the greater of the Limit 1 or Limit 2:  

			Limit 1:		
The Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year of the Highly Compensated Employees
may not exceed one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Actual Contribution
Percentage for the previous Plan Year of all other Participants; or 

			Limit 2:		
The Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year of the Highly Compensated
Participants may not exceed the lesser of: 

					(a)  		The
Actual Contribution Percentage for the previous Plan Year of all other Participants, plus
two percent (2%), or 

					(b) 		The
Actual Contribution Percentage for the previous Plan Year of all other Participants,
multiplied by two hundred percent (200%).  

	 	
Actual
Contribution Percentage (“ACP”) with respect to any specific group of
Participants for a Plan Year shall mean the average of the ratios (calculated separately
for each Participant in such group) of (A) the amount of Matching Contributions paid into
the Trust Fund on behalf of each Participant for such Plan Year to (B) the Participant’s
Adjusted Compensation for such Plan Year (such ratio hereinafter referred to as “ACR”).
A Participant’s Matching Contributions are to be taken into account if they are paid
to the Trust during the Plan Year or are paid to an agent of the Plan and are transmitted
to the Trust within a reasonable period after the end of the Plan Year. In the case of a
Participant who has no Matching Contributions, the ACP is considered to be zero. In the
case of a Highly Compensated Employee who is eligible to have Matching Contributions paid
in to a trust fund to his account under two or more plans maintained by the Employer, the
ACP shall be determined as if all such Matching Contributions were made under a single
arrangement. 

	

17

	

	 	
For
purposes of determining whether a plan satisfies the ACP Limit, all Matching
Contributions that are made under two or more plans that are aggregated for purposes of
Sections 401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)) are to be treated as
made under a single plan. If two or more plans are permissively aggregated for purposes
of Section 401(k), the aggregated plans must also satisfy Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b)
as though they were a single plan. 

	6.3 		REMEDIES
FOR CONTRIBUTIONS IN EXCESS OF ACP LIMIT. In the event the ACP Limit is exceeded, the
amount of excess aggregate contributions for a Highly Compensated Employee shall be
distributed pursuant to 26 CFR Section 1.401(m)-1(e) and will be determined in the
following manner. First, The amount of excess aggregate contributions for a plan year
shall be determined only after first determining the excess contributions that are
treated as employee contributions due to recharacterization. Second, the ACR of the
Highly Compensated Employee with the highest ACR will be reduced to the extent necessary
to satisfy the ACP Limit or to cause such Participant’s ACR to equal the ACR of the
Highly Compensated Participant with the next highest ACR. Finally, this process is
repeated until the ACP Limit is satisfied. For each such Highly Compensated Employee
whose ACR is reduced, the amount of such Participant’s excess aggregate
contributions is equal to the Participant’s total Matching Contributions (determined
prior to the application of this paragraph) minus the amount determined by multiplying
the Participant’s ACR (determined after application of this paragraph) by such
Participant’s Adjusted Compensation.  

	 	
The
amount of a Participant’s excess aggregate contributions that is actually
distributed must be determined on the basis of the leveling method required by Code
Section 401(m)(6)(C), as amended by the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996. This
leveling method requires that the distribution of excess aggregate contributions must be
made on the basis of the dollar amount of the contribution allocable to each Highly
Compensated Employee, rather than such Participant’s ACR. 

	 	
The
distribution of excess aggregate contributions will include the income allocable thereto
for the Plan Year from the date excess contributions were made until the date of the
distribution. The income for the Plan Year allocable to Matching Contributions will be
multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the excess aggregate
contributions for the employee for the Plan Year. The denominator is the sum of (1) the
total account balance of the employee attributable to Matching Contributions and amounts
treated as Matching Contributions as of the beginning of the Plan Year, plus (2) the
employee’s Matching Contributions and amounts treated as Matching Contributions for
the Plan Year. 

	

18

	

	 	
The
amount of a Participant’s excess aggregate contributions distributed shall be
reduced by any excess aggregate contributions previously distributed during such Plan
Year. The distribution of any excess aggregate contribution is to be made prior to the
two and one-half month period following the end of the plan Year in which such excess
aggregate contributions were made. 

	 	
For
any Plan Year, the application of the ADP Limit and ACP Limit pursuant to Sections 5.2
and 6.2 of the Plan, respectively, shall be made in accordance with the multiple use
limitations under 26 CFR Section 1.401(m)-2. If multiple use of the alternative
limitation occurs, it must be corrected by reducing the ADP of all Highly Compensated
Employees, regardless of whether they are eligible under both the arrangement subject to
Section 401(k) and a plan subject to Section 401(m). 

	 	
To
the extent Matching Contributions are used, pursuant to Section 5.2, to compute the ADP
Limit, they will not be used to compute the ACP Limit. At the election of the Employer,
Employer contributions (to the extent not utilized to compute the ADP Limit) may be used
in the computation of the ACP Limit. 

	 	
Qualified
Nonelective Contributions and Elective Contributions may be treated as Matching
Contributions for purposes of the ACP Limit only if the conditions described in 26 CFR
Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(5) are satisfied. 

SECTION 7 — ROLLOVER
CONTRIBUTIONS

	(a) 		With
the Employer’s consent, a Rollover Contribution may be made by or for an Employee if any
of the following conditions are met: 

			(1) 		The
Contribution is a rollover contribution which the Code permits to be transferred to a
plan that meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code; and

			(2) 		The
Contribution is made within 60 days after the Employee receives or would be entitled to
receive the distribution; and

			(3)		The
employee furnishes evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Committee that the
proposed transfer is in fact a rollover contribution which meets conditions (1) and (2)
above. 

	 	
OR

	

19

	

			(4) 		The
contribution is made pursuant to Plan Section 11.9 diversification requirements.

	 	
The
Rollover Contribution may be made by the Employee or may be made with
his consent by the named fiduciary of another plan. The Contribution will be made
according to procedures set up by the Administrative Committee. 

	(b) 		If
the Employee is not a Participant at the time the Rollover Contribution is made, he will
be deemed to be a Participant only for the purposes of investment and distribution of the
Rollover Contribution. No Employer Contribution will be made for him and he may not make
Participant Contributions, until the time he meets all of the requirements to become a
Participant.  

	(c) 		Any
Rollover contribution made by or for an Employee is credited to his Account when made and
is at all times fully vested and nonforfeitable.  

	(d) 		Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee’s
election under Code Section 401(a)(31), a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the
manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, to have any portion of an Eligible
Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the
Distributee in a Direct Rollover.  

SECTION 8 — PLAN
ACCOUNTING

	8.1 		ALLOCATION
AND CREDITING OF NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS AND FORFEITURES. 

			(a) 		In
General. As of the Accounting Date, the following amounts shall be allocated to the
accounts of Participants described in Section 8.1(b), in the manner described in Section
8.1(c):

					(1)  		Nonelective
Contributions for the Plan Year, less the portion thereof used to pay principal and
interest on an Acquisition Loan; 

					(2) 		Forfeitures
arising pursuant to Section 11.1(c) during the Plan Year that are not applied to the
payment of Plan expenses or to the payment of future Employer Contributions; and  

					(3)  		Shares
of Company Stock released from a Loan Suspense Account for the Plan Year. 

			(b) 		Conditions
on Allocation of Nonelective Contributions, Forfeitures and Stock Release. The amounts
described in Section 8.1(a) shall be allocated to the accounts of the following
Participants:

	

20

	

					(1)  		Participants
who complete 1000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year and who are employed by the
Employer on the Accounting Date, and 

					(2) 		Participants
who attain Normal Retirement Age, suffer a Total and Permanent Disability or die while in
the employ of the Employer during the Plan Year.  

			(c)		Allocation
formula. The amounts described in Section 8.1(a) shall be allocated to the Accounts
of Participants described in Sections 8.1(b) in the ratio that each such Participant’s
Adjusted Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total of all such Participants’ Adjusted
Compensation for the Plan Year. 

	8.2 		ALLOCATION
OF ELECTIVE AND MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS 

			(a)		Elective
Contributions. The Elective Contributions by the Employer on behalf of an electing
Participant shall be allocated to the Elective Contribution Account of such electing
Participant as of each Accounting Date of the Plan Year for which the Elective
Contribution pertains. 

			(b)		Matching
Contributions. The Matching Contributions by the Employer on behalf of a Participant
making Elective Contributions shall be allocated to the Matching Contribution Account in
an amount equal to that contributed for each Participant under Section 6.1. 

			(c)		Conditions
on Allocation of Matching Contribution. The amounts described in Section 8.2(b) shall
be allocated to the accounts of the Participants making Elective Contributions regardless
of their Hours of Service or whether they terminate prior to the Accounting Date. 

	8.3 		KSOP
STOCK ACCOUNTS, KSOP CASH ACCOUNTS, AND RESTRICTIONS ON ALLOCATIONS. 

			(a)		KSOP
Stock Accounts and KSOP Cash Accounts. Employer Contributions made in the form of
shares of Company Stock, the number of shares of Company stock purchased with cash
Employer Contributions, Forfeitures from other Participants’ KSOP Stock Accounts, and
shares of Company Stock released from a Loan Suspense Account shall be allocated to
Participants’ KSOP Stock Accounts. All other Employer contributions and Forfeitures
shall be allocated to Participants’ KSOP Cash Accounts. 

			(b)		Restrictions
on allocation. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, if shares
of Company Stock are sold to the Plan by a shareholder in a transaction for which special
tax treatment is elected by such shareholder (or his representative) pursuant to section
1042 of the Code, no assets attributable to such Company Stock may be allocated to the
KSOP Accounts of: 

			(1) 		any
person who owns (after application of section 318(a) of the Code) more than 25 percent in
value of the outstanding securities of the Employers; and

	

21

	

			(2)		the
shareholder, and any person who is related to such shareholder (within the meaning of
section 267(b) of the Code, but excluding lineal descendants of such shareholder as long
as no more than 5% of the aggregate amount of all Company Stock sold by such shareholder
in a transaction to which section 1042 of the Code applies is allocated to lineal
descendants of such shareholder) during the Nonallocation Period (as defined below). 

	 	
Further, no
allocation of Employer Contributions may be made to the Accounts of such persons unless
additional allocations are made to other Participants, in accordance with the provisions
of sections 401(a) and 410 of the Code. The phrase “Nonallocation Period” means
the period beginning on the date of sale and ending on the later of ten years after the
date of sale or the date of the allocation attributable to the final payment on the
Acquisition Loan incurred with respect to the sale. 

	8.4 		LIMITATION
ON ALLOCATIONS TO PARTICIPANTS. 

	(a)		In
General. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Annual Additions
credited to a Participant’s Accounts under this Plan and any Related Defined
Contribution Plan for any Plan Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of:  

			(1) 		$30,000,
as adjusted for the cost of living under Code Section 415(d); or

			(2) 		25
percent of the 415 Compensation paid to the Participant in that Plan Year.

	 	
In the
event a Participant herein is also a Participant at any time in a Related Defined
Contribution Plan, the sum of Annual Additions under all such plans credited to a
Participant’s accounts in any Plan Year shall not exceed the limitations described
in (1) or (2), above, but such limitations shall first be applied to reduce the Annual
Additions under the Related Defined Contribution Plan before being applied to reduce the
Annual Additions under this Plan. If, during any Plan Year, no more than one-third of the
Employer Contributions which are deductible under section 404(a)(9) of the Code are
allocated to the Accounts of Highly Compensated Employees during the Plan Year, then any
Employer Contributions which are applied by the Trustee to pay interest on an Acquisition
Loan, and any Financed Shares which are allocated as Forfeitures shall not be included in
computing Annual Additions. 

	

22

	

			(b)		415
Suspense Account. Prior to the allocation of the Employer Contributions for any Plan
Year, the Administrative Committee shall determine whether the amount to be allocated
would cause the limitation described in Section 8.4(a) herein to be exceeded by any
Participant. In the event that the limitation is exceeded for any Participant due to the
allocation of a Forfeiture or a reasonable error in the estimation of a Participant’s
Adjusted Compensation or 415 Compensation, the excess shall be maintained in a Suspense
Account and shall be allocated in the subsequent Plan Year as if such amounts were an
additional contribution to the appropriate Account. No contributions which would be
included in the next limitation year’s Annual Addition for such Participant may be
made before the total Suspense Account has been reallocated. 

			(c)		Return
of Elective Contributions. In addition to the remedy described in Section 8.4(b)
herein, the Administrative Committee may distribute to affected Participants their
Elective Contributions and the gains attributable thereto, to the extent necessary to
reduce the excess Annual Additions to a level that complies with the limitation described
in Section 8.4(a). 

			(d)		Combined
Plan Limits. If an Employer maintains, or has ever maintained, one or more defined
benefit plans covering an Employee who is also a Participant in this Plan, the sum of the
Defined Contribution Plan Fraction and the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction cannot exceed
1.0 for any Plan Year prior to January 1, 2000. 

	 	(1) For
purposes of this Section 8.4(d), the terms used herein shall have the following meaning: 

	 	“Defined
Contribution Plan Fraction” means for any Plan Year:

	 	     (i) the
sum of the Annual Additions to the Participant’s account under this Plan and his
accounts under any Related Plan and welfare plans as of the close of the Plan Year, 

	 	     divided
by:

	 	     (ii)
the sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined for the Plan Year and for each
prior Year of his Service for an Employer: 

	 	     (A) the
product of 1.25, multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A)
of the Code for the Plan Year (determined without regard to Section 415(c)(6) of the
Code), or 

	

23

	

	 	     (B) the
product of 1.4, multiplied by an amount equal to 25% of the Participant’s Annual
Compensation for the Plan Year. 

	 	“Defined
Benefit Plan Fraction” means for any Limitation Year:

	 	     (i) the
projected Annual Benefit of the Participant under the defined benefit plans maintained by
an Employer determined as of the close of the Plan Year, 

	 	     divided
by:

	 	     (ii)
the lesser of:

	 	     (A) the
product of 1.25, multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect under Section 415(b)(1)(A)
of the Code for the Plan Year, or 

	 	     (B) the
product of 1.4, multiplied by 100% of the Participant’s Average Compensation. 

	 	“Average Compensation” means
the average Adjusted Compensation during a Participant’s high three years of
service, which period is the three consecutive calendar years (or, the actual number of
consecutive years of employment for those Employees who are employed for less than three
consecutive years with an Employer) during which the Employee had the greatest aggregate
Adjusted Compensation from the Employer, including any adjustments under Section 415(d)
of the Code. 

	 	“Annual Benefit” means
a benefit payable annually in the form of a straight life annuity (with no ancillary
benefits) under a plan to which Employees do not contribute and under which no Rollover
Contributions are made. 

	 	(2) If
the sum of the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction and the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction
exceeds 1.0, the sum of the fractions will be reduced to 1.0 as follows: 

	 	     (i) voluntary
nondeductible Employee contributions made by a Participant to the defined benefit plan
which constitute an Annual Addition to a defined contribution plan, to the extent they
would reduce the sum of the fractions to 1.0, will be returned to the Participant; 

	 	     (ii) if
additional reductions are required for the sum of the fractions to equal 1.0, voluntary
nondeductible Employee contributions made by a Participant to this Plan which constitute
an Annual Addition to this Plan, to the extent they would reduce the sum of the fractions
to 1.0, will be returned to the Participant; 

	

24

	

	 	     (iii) if
additional reductions are required for the sum of the fractions to equal 1.0, the Annual
Benefit of a Participant under the defined benefit plan will be reduced (but not below
zero and not below the amount of the Participant’s accrued benefit to date) to the
extent necessary to prevent the sum of the fractions, computed as of the close of the
Limitation Year from exceeding 1.0; and 

	 	     (iv) if
additional reductions are required for the sum of the fractions to equal 1.0, the
reductions will then be made to the Annual Additions of this Plan. 

	8.5 		ADJUSTMENT
OF KSOP STOCK ACCOUNTS. As of each Accounting Date, the Trustee shall: 

			(a)		First,
charge to the KSOP Stock Account of each Participant all distributions and payments made
to him, or on his account, since the last preceding Accounting Date that have not been
charged previously; 

			(b)		Next,
credit to each Participant’s KSOP Stock Account the shares of Company Stock, if any,
that have been purchased with amounts from his KSOP Cash Account since the last preceding
Accounting Date, 

			(c)		Next,
charge each Participant’s KSOP Stock Account with the shares of Company Stock, if
any, that have been sold since the last preceding Accounting Date; 

			(d)		Next,
allocate and credit to each Participant’s KSOP Stock Account the shares of Company
Stock (representing Employer Contributions made in Company Stock) and Company Stock
Forfeitures that are to be allocated and credited as of that date in accordance with the
provisions of Section 
8.1(c). 

			(e)		Next,
credit or charge, as the case may be, the appreciation or depreciation in the Fair Market
Value of Company Stock allocated to the Participant’s KSOP Stock Account. 

	8.6 		ADJUSTMENT
OF KSOP CASH ACCOUNTS. As of each Accounting Date, the Trustee shall: 

			(a)		First,
charge each Participant’s KSOP Cash Account with all distributions or payments made
to him, or on his account, since the last preceding Accounting Date that have not been
charged previously; 

	

25

	

			(b) 		Next,
charge each Participant’s KSOP Cash Account with any amounts applied to purchase
Company Stock;

			(c)		Next,
credit each Participant’s KSOP Cash Account with any cash, if any, received from the
sale of Company Stock from the Participant’s KSOP Stock Account since the last
preceding Accounting Date; 

			(d)		Next,
allocate and credit to each Participant’s KSOP Cash Account the Employer
Contributions made in cash and cash Forfeitures that are allocated and credited as of
that date in accordance with Section 8.1(d). 

			(e)		Next,
allocate to each Participant’s KSOP Cash Account the Net Income (or Loss) of the
Plan, determined as of the Accounting Date, in the ratio in which the balance of such
KSOP Cash Account on the previous Accounting Date (reduced by the amount of any
distribution from such Account and increased by Matching Contributions made during the
first half of the Plan Year and 1⁄2of Elective Contributions made during the Plan
Year) bears to the total of the KSOP Cash Account balances for all Participants as of
that date. 

	8.7 		DIVIDENDS.
Any stock dividends received on Company Stock shall be credited to the Account to which
such Company stock was allocated. Cash dividends paid on shares of Company Stock held by
the Trustee shall be disposed of as follows:  

			(a)		Dividends
paid on shares which have not been released from a Loan Suspense Account shall be used to
make payment on Acquisition Loans the proceeds of which were used to acquire the shares
with respect to which the dividends are paid. Any such dividends which are not so used
shall be separately allocated to the KSOP Cash Accounts of all Participants and
Beneficiaries as Net Income in accordance with Section 8.6(e). In the discretion of the
Administrative Committee, such dividends may be distributed in cash to Participants and
Beneficiaries within 90 days after the close of the Plan Year in which paid to the extent
of their respective nonforfeitable percentages determined as of the close of the Plan
Year. 

			(b)		Dividends
paid on shares allocated to Participants’ Company Stock Accounts shall be allocated
thereto. In the discretion of the Administrative Committee, such dividends may be
distributed in cash to Participants and Beneficiaries within 90 days after the close of
the Plan Year in which paid to the extent of their respective nonforfeitable percentages
determined as of the close of the Plan Year. 

	8.8 		STATEMENT
OF PLAN INTEREST. During each Plan Year the Administrative Committee shall provide
each Participant with a statement of the Participant’s interest under the Plan as of
the close of the immediately preceding Plan Year.  

	

26

	

SECTION 9 —RETIREMENT
BENEFITS

	

     Upon
attainment of Normal Retirement Age, a Participant shall have a fully vested and
nonforfeitable right to his Account. The Participant shall be entitled to the
commencement of the payment of his benefits as soon as practicable following the date on
which he separates from service due to attaining Normal Retirement Age. However, at such
Participant’s request, the payment of benefits may commence as soon as practicable
following the close of any subsequent Plan Year.  

SECTION 10 — DEATH
BENEFITS

	(a) 		In
General. If a Participant dies prior to receiving the entire nonforfeitable amount
credited to his Accounts, all such undistributed amounts shall be paid to the Participant’s
Beneficiary as soon as practicable following the date on which the participant died.
However, at such Beneficiary’s request, the payment of benefits may commence as soon
as practicable following the close of any subsequent Plan Year. If there are two or more
Beneficiaries, the Participants’ Accounts shall be split into sub-accounts to reflect
different methods of distribution elected by the Beneficiaries.  

	(b) 		Married
Participants. A Participant’s sole Beneficiary shall be his surviving spouse,
unless there is no surviving spouse or the surviving spouse had consented in writing to
the Participant’s designation of another Beneficiary. Such written consent shall be
signed by the surviving spouse and witnessed by a member of the Administrative Committee
or a notary public. Written consent need not be obtained if the Participant established
to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that there is no spouse or the spouse
cannot be located. Any consent by a spouse (or establishment that consent cannot be
obtained) shall be limited to the specific Beneficiary designated by the Participant, and
shall be effective only with respect to such spouse.  

	(c) 		Beneficiary
Designation. Each Participant may file with the Administrative Committee a
designation of Beneficiary to receive amounts payable under this Plan upon his death. The
designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant, except that a married
Participant may name a Beneficiary other than his spouse only in accordance with Section
10(b), above. If no designation has been filed, or all designated Beneficiaries have
predeceased the Participant, then the Participant shall be deemed to have designated the
following as his Beneficiaries and contingent Beneficiaries with priority in the
following order:  

			(1) 		Surviving
Spouse; then

			(2) 		Surviving
children equally; then

			(3) 		Estate.

	

27

	

	(d) 		Identification
of Beneficiary. If at, after or during the time when a benefit is payable to any
Beneficiary, the Administrative Committee, upon request of the Trustee or at its own
instance, mails by registered or certified mail to the Beneficiary at the Beneficiary’s
last known address a written demand for his then address, or for satisfactory evidence of
his continued life, or both, and, if the Beneficiary shall fail to furnish the
information to the Administrative Committee within six (6) months from the mailing of the
demand, then the Administrative Committee shall distribute to the party next entitled
thereto under Section 10(c), above, as if the Beneficiary were then deceased.  

SECTION 11 — PAYMENT
OF ACCOUNT BALANCES ON ACCOUNT OF TERMINATION

	11.1 		DETERMINATION
OF DISTRIBUTABLE ACCOUNT BALANCE. 

			(a)		In
General. If a Participant separates from service prior to Normal Retirement Age for
reasons other than Total and Permanent Disability or death, he shall be entitled to the
portion of his Accounts which is nonforfeitable. The Administrative Committee shall
distribute the entire nonforfeitable portion of the Participant’s Accounts to such
Participant in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the date on which he separates
from service. 

			(b)		Consent
to distribution. Effective for Plan Years beginning after August 5, 1997, if the
nonforfeitable portion of a Participant’s Accounts exceeds $5,000, no distribution
shall be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a) above, unless the Participant consents to such
distribution, in writing. The consent of the Participant shall be obtained, in writing,
within the 90-day period ending on the date of the distribution. The Administrative
Committee shall notify the Participant of the right to defer any distribution until his
Normal Retirement Age, which notification shall include a general description of the
material features of the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan, and shall be
provided no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days prior to the distribution.
However, if the Participant, after having received the notification, affirmatively elects
a distribution, such distribution may be made immediately. The Participant’s consent
shall not be required to the extent that a distribution is required to satisfy Section
401(a)(9) and\or Section 415 of the Code. 

			(c)		Forfeitures.
If a distribution is made (or deemed made) to the Participant upon his separation from
service pursuant to (a) or (b), above, the nonvested portion of his accounts will be
treated as a Forfeiture and, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee, either
applied to the payment of Plan expenses as provided in Section 18.6, applied to the
payment of future Employer Contributions, or reallocated to other participants as
provided in Section 8.1. If a Participant separates from service and his nonforfeitable
percentage, as determined pursuant to Section 11.1(d), below, is 0%, he will be deemed to
have received a distribution of his Accounts as of his separation from service. 

	

28

	

	 	If the
Accounts are not distributed to the Participant upon his separation from service, the
non-vested portion shall be maintained in a Forfeiture Account and treated as a
Forfeiture when the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service. 

	 	If a
Participant returns to employment with an Employer or a Related Company after receiving
(or having deemed to receive) distribution of the nonforfeitable portion of his Accounts,
but before incurring 5 consecutive One Year Breaks in Service, the amount forfeited from
his respective Accounts by reason of such distribution (or deemed distribution)will be
restored to his respective Accounts, but only upon the Participant’s repayment of
the amount previously distributed. Such restoration will be made, first, out of
Forfeitures occurring in the year of restoration, second, out of Trust Fund earnings and,
third, out of Employer KSOP contributions. Upon such Participant’s subsequent
Termination Date, his Accounts will be paid in accordance with either paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section, as applicable. 

			(d)		Vesting
Schedule. A Participant shall have a nonforfeitable right to the amount credited to
his Nonelective Contribution Account, his Matching Contribution Account accumulated prior
to August 20, 1992, and 75% of his Matching Contribution Account accumulated on or after
August 20, 1992 in accordance with the following schedule: 

		Number of Years of Service
	Vested Percentage
	
		Less than 3 years 	   0%	
		3 years but less than 4 years	 20%	
		4 years but less than 5 years	 40%	
		5 years but less than 6 years	 60%	
		6 years but less than 7 years	 80%	
		7 years or more	100%	

	 	A Participant
will have a 100% vested and nonforfeitable interest at all times in his Elective
Contribution Account and 25% of his Matching Contribution Account accumulated on or after
August 20, 1992. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who is first employed after
December 31, 1997 shall have a nonforfeitable right to the amount credited to his
Nonelective Contribution Account and his Matching Contribution Account in accordance with
the vesting schedule contained in the first paragraph of this Section 11.1(d). 

	

29

	

	 	The balances
in his KSOP Cash Account and KSOP Stock Account, if any, after the foregoing
multiplication, as at the Accounting Date coincident with or next following the
Termination Date (after all adjustments then required under the Plan have been made),
will become distributable to or for his benefit or, in the case of his death, to or for
the benefit of his Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2. 

			(e)		Vesting
after Reemployment. Years of Service credited to a Participant prior to incurring a
One Year Break in Service who subsequently returns to employment will not be taken into
account for vesting purposes until the Participant has completed a Year of Service after
such break in service. 

	 	In the
case of a Participant, whether or not vested upon separation, all service must be counted
if the Participant returns prior to having 5 consecutive One Year Breaks in Service. If
the Participant has 5 or more consecutive One Year Breaks in Service, all service (both
pre-break and post-break) must be counted in determining the vesting percentage in the
post-break account balance in either of two circumstances. First, when the participant
has any vested interest (i.e., at least 20%) at the time of his termination. Second, when
the number of years of service before the break exceed the number of consecutive break in
service years. 

	 	For a
nonvested participant, pre-break service must be counted in determining percent vesting
in post-break account balances unless the number of consecutive break in service years
equals or exceeds the greater of the number of years of service before the break or 5.
For a nonvested participant (just as for a vested participant) post-break service is
counted for the percent vesting in pre-break account balances only where the number of
consecutive break in service years is less than 5. 

	 	If a
partially vested Participant returns to employment after receiving a distribution of the
vested portion of his Account, but before incurring 5 consecutive One Year Breaks in
Service, and then subsequently again terminates emplyment, the vested balances in his
Forfeiture Accounts shall be determined by multiplying those balances by the following: 

	x - y
	

	100% - y

	 	For
purposes of the above formula, x equals the Participant’s vested percentage on the
date of his subsequent One Year Break in Service and y equals the Participant’s
vested percentage on the date of his prior termination of employment.

	

30

	

	 	If
a Participant does not have a nonforfeitable right to any of his KSOP Accounts on his
Termination Date, then he will be deemed to be cashed out of his KSOP Accounts as of his
Termination Date.

	11.2 		MANNER
OF MAKING PAYMENTS. Distribution will be made, to or for the benefit of the
Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s death, his Beneficiary, by either,
or a combination of, the following methods: 

			(a) 		By
payment in a lump sum, or

			(b) 		By
payment in a series of substantially equal annual installments over a period not to
exceed the Participant’s life expectancy.

	11.3 		TIME
FOR DISTRIBUTION. 

			(a) 		In
General. Unless the Participant otherwise elects, distribution of the portion of the
Participant’s Accounts attributable to shares of Company Stock shall commence not
later than one year after the close of the Plan Year:

					(1)  		in
which the Participant separates from service by reason of the attainment of Normal
Retirement Age, Total and Permanent Disability, or death; or 

					(2)  		which
is the fifth Plan Year following the Plan year in which the Participant otherwise
separates from service, except that this paragraph (2) shall not apply if the Participant
is reemployed by the Employer before distribution is required to begin under this
paragraph (2). 

			(b) 		Exception
for Acquisition Loan. Subsection (a) shall not apply to any shares of Company Stock
acquired with the proceeds of an Acquisition Loan until the close of the Plan Year in
which such Acquisition Loan is repaid in full.

			(c) 		Installment
Payments. Unless the Participant elects otherwise, a distribution required under
subsection (a) shall be in substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently
than annually) over a period not longer than the greater of:

					(1)  		five
years, or 

	

31

	

					(2)  		in
the case of a Participant the balances of whose KSOP Stock Account is in excess of
$500,000, five years plus one additional year (but not more than five additional years
for each $100,000 or fraction thereof by which such balance exceeds $500,000. 

	 	The
dollar amounts set forth in paragraph (2), above, shall be adjusted in accordance with
adjustments prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

			(d) 		Distribution
of Company Stock. Distribution of a Participant’s vested KSOP Stock Accounts
will be made in whole shares of Company Stock, cash or a combination of both, as
determined by the Administrative Committee; provided, however, that the Administrative
Committee shall notify the Participant of his right to demand distribution of his vested
KSOP Stock Account balance entirely in whole shares of Company Stock (with the value of
any fractional share paid in cash). However, effective for Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 1997, a Participant shall have no right to receive a distribution of any
portion of his Accounts in Company Stock if there is in effect an election by the Company
to be an S corporation under Code Section 1362(a).

			(e) 		Age
701⁄2 Distribution Date. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 11.3 to
the contrary, distribution of a Participant’s KSOP Accounts shall commence not later
than the Required Beginning Date. If a Participant’s interest is to be distributed
in other than a single sum, the following minimum distribution rules shall apply on or
after the Required Beginning Date:

					(1)  		If
a Participant’s benefit is to be distributed over (i) a period not extending beyond
the life expectancy of the Participant or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of
the Participant and the Participant’s designated beneficiary, or (ii) a period not
extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary, the amount required
to be distributed for each calendar year, beginning with distributions for the first
distribution calendar year, must at least equal the quotient obtained by dividing the
Participant’s benefit by the applicable life expectancy. 

					(2)  		The
minimum distribution required for the Participant’s first distribution calendar year
must be made on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. The minimum
distribution for other calendar years, including the minimum distribution for the
distribution calendar year in which the Participant’s Required Beginning Date
occurs, must be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year. 

	

32

	

					(3)  		Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any active Participant (other than a five-percent owner) attaining age 70
1⁄2 on or after calendar year 1995 may request and receive an annual in-service
distribution equal to the amount calculated under Section 11.3(e)(1) as if a minimum
distribution were otherwise required. 

			(f) 		Distributions
to Beneficiary upon Death. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c)
above, distributions upon the death of a Participant shall be made in accordance with the
following requirements and shall otherwise comply with section 401(a)(9) of the Code and
any regulations issued thereunder. If a Participant dies before his distribution has
commenced, distribution of his Accounts to his Beneficiary shall commence not later than
the earlier of:

					(1)  		one
year after the date the Participant died, or 

					(2)  		if
the Beneficiary is the surviving spouse, the latter of one year after the Participant’s
death or the date the Participant would have attained age 701⁄2, 

	 	and
shall be completed within five years after the Participant’s death.

	11.4 		FACILITY
OF PAYMENT. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, if, in the opinion of
the Administrative Committee a Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the
Plan is under a legal disability or is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to
manage his financial affairs, the Administrative Committee may, until a claim is made by
a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or of his
estate, direct the Trustee to make payment to a relative or friend of such person for his
benefit. Thereafter, any benefits under the Plan to which such Participant or other
person is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person legally charged with
the care of his person or his estate, which shall then fully discharge the obligation of
the Trustee to pay benefits under the Plan with respect to such Participant.  

	11.5 		INTERESTS
NOT TRANSFERABLE. The interests of Participants and other persons entitled to
benefits under the Plan are not subject to the claims of their creditors and may not be
voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated or encumbered, except as otherwise
provided in Section 11.8.  

	11.6 		ABSENCE
OF GUARANTY. Neither the Trustee, the Administrative Committee nor the Employers in any
way guarantee the Trust Fund from loss or depreciation. The Employers do not guarantee
any payment to any person. The liability of the Trustee to make any payment is limited to
the available assets of the Trust Fund. 

	11.7 		MISSING
PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIARIES. Each Participant and each designated Beneficiary must
file with the Administrative Committee from time to time in writing his post office
address and each change of post office address. Any communication, statement or notice
addressed to a Participant or designated Beneficiary at his last post office address
filed with the Administrative Committee, or if no address is filed with the
Administrative Committee then, in the case of a Participant, at his last post office
address as shown on the Employers’ records, will be binding on the Participant and
his designated Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. The Employers, the
Administrative Committee, and the Trustee are not required to search for or locate a
Participant or designated Beneficiary.  

	

33

	

	11.8 		QUALIFIED
DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER. In addition to payments made under Section 11 on account of
a Participant’s termination of employment, payments may be made to an Alternate
Payee (as defined below) prior to, coincident with, or after a Participant’s
termination of employment if made pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. A
distribution to an Alternate Payee may be made out of a Participant’s Accounts on a
date coincident with the Participant’s “earliest retirement age”, defined
as the earlier of (i) the date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution
under the Plan, or (ii) the later of (A) the date the Participant attains age 50, or (B)
the earliest date on which the Participant could begin receiving benefits under the Plan
if he had separated from service. In addition, this Plan specifically authorizes
distributions to an Alternate Payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order prior to
the Participant’s attainment of the earliest retirement age (as defined above and in
section 414(p) of the Code) but only if (1) the order specifies distribution at the
earlier date or permits an agreement between the Plan and the Alternate Payee authorizing
an earlier distribution; and (2) the Alternate Payee consents to a distribution prior to
the Participant’s earliest retirement age if the present value of the Alternate
Payee benefits under the Plan exceeds $5,000. Nothing in this Section 11.8 shall provide
a Participant with a right to receive a distribution at a time not otherwise permitted
under the Plan, nor shall it provide the Alternate Payee with a right to receive a form
of payment not permitted under the Plan.  

	 	
The
Administrative Committee shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the qualified
status of domestic relations orders and to determine distributions under such qualified
orders. Any expenses incurred by the Administrative Committee in determining the status
of domestic relations orders or administering a qualified order shall be charged to the
Accounts of the Participant to whom such order relates. The Administrative Committee may,
in its sole discretion, establish and maintain a segregated account for each Alternate
Payee. The term “Alternate Payee” means any spouse, former spouse, child or
other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order as having a right to receive all, or a portion of, the benefits payable under the
Plan with respect to the Participant. 

	11.9 		PRE-RETIREMENT
DIVERSIFICATION RIGHTS.Any Qualified Participant shall have the right to make an
election to direct the Plan as to investment of his KSOP Stock Account. Such a Qualified
Participant may elect within 90 days after the close of each Plan Year in the Qualified
Election Period to diversify 25% of his KSOP Stock Account, less any amount to which a
prior election applies. In the case of the last year to which an election applies, 50%
shall be substituted for 25%. If the Fair Market Value of the Company Stock in a
Qualified Participant’s KSOP Stock Account is $500 or less as of the Accounting Date
immediately preceding the first day of any Qualified Election Period, then such Qualified
Participant shall not be entitled to an election under this Section 11.9 for that
Qualified Election Period.  

	

34

	

	 	
The
Plan may satisfy the requirements of this Section 11.9 by offering at least three (3)
investment options to the Qualified Participant. In addition, if the Qualified
Participant consents, the Plan may distribute the portion of the KSOP Stock Account
covered by the election to the Qualified Participant within the 90 day period after the
election is made. 

	

SECTION 12 — VOTING
OF COMPANY STOCK

     For
any Plan Year in which the Company has a class of securities registered under section 12
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each Participant (or, in the event of his death,
his Beneficiary) shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which
whole and partial shares of Company Stock allocated to his KSOP Stock Account as of the
record date are to be voted on each matter brought before an annual or special
shareholders’ meeting. Before each such meeting of shareholders, the Trustee shall
furnish to each Participant (or Beneficiary) a copy of the proxy solicitation material,
together with a form requesting directions on how such shares of Company Stock allocated
to such Participant’s KSOP Stock Account shall be voted on each matter. Upon timely
receipt of such directions, the Trustee shall on each such matter vote as directed the
number of shares (including fractional shares) of Company Stock allocated to such
Participant’s KSOP Stock Account, and the Trustee shall have no discretion in such
matter. The directions received by the Trustee from Participants shall be held by the
Trustee in confidence and shall not be divulged or released to any person, including
officers or employees of any Employer. The Trustee shall vote allocated shares for which
it has received no direction and unallocated shares in accordance with the fiduciary
standards of Title I of ERISA.  

     For
any Plan Year in which the Company does not have a class of securities registered under
section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, all Company Stock in the Trust shall
be voted by the Trustee in such manner as it shall determine in its sole direction.
However, with respect to any corporate matter which involves the voting of Company Stock
as to the approval or disapproval of any corporate merger or consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, sale of substantially all
assets of a trade or business, or such similar transactions as may be prescribed in the
Code or regulations promulgated thereunder, each Participant will be entitled to direct
the Trustee as to the exercise of any voting rights attributable to shares of Company
Stock then allocated to his KSOP Stock Account, but only to the extent required by
sections 401(a)(22) and 409(e)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
In that event, the Trustee shall vote allocated shares for which it has received no
direction and unallocated shares in accordance with the fiduciary standards of Title I of
ERISA.  

35

	

SECTION 13 — RIGHTS,
RESTRICTIONS AND OPTIONS ON COMPANY STOCK

	13.1 		RIGHT
OF FIRST REFUSAL. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section
13.1, shares of the Company Stock distributed by the Trustee shall be subject to a “Right
of First Refusal”. The Right of First Refusal shall provide that, prior to any
subsequent transfer, such Company Stock must first be offered in writing to the Company
and, if then refused by the Company, to the Trustee, at the then Fair Market Value, as
determined by an Independent Appraiser (as defined in section 401(a)(28) of the Code). A
bona fide written offer from an independent prospective buyer shall be deemed to be the
Fair Market Value of such Company Stock for this purpose unless the value per share, as
determined by the Independent Appraiser as of the most recent Accounting Date, is
greater. The Company and the Trustee shall have a total of 14 days (from the date the
Company receives the offer) to exercise the Right of First Refusal on the same terms
offered by the prospective buyer. A Participant (or Beneficiary) entitled to a
distribution of Company Stock may be required to execute an appropriate stock transfer
agreement (evidencing the Right of First Refusal) prior to receiving a certificate for
Company Stock. No Right of First Refusal shall be exercisable by reason of any of the
following transfers:  

			(a) 		the
transfer upon the death of a Participant or Beneficiary of any shares of Company Stock to
his legal representatives, heirs and legatees, provided, however, that any proposed sale
or other disposition of any such shares by any legal representative, heir or legatee
shall remain subject to the Right of First Refusal;

			(b) 		the
transfer by a Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the Put Option pursuant to
Section 13.2 below; or

			(c) 		the
transfer while the Company Stock is listed on a national securities exchange registered
under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or quoted on a system sponsored
by a national securities association registered under Section 15A(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

	13.2 		PUT
OPTION. In the event Company Stock is not “publicly traded” within the
meaning of 26 CFR Section 54.4975-7(b)(1)(iv), the Company shall issue a “Put Option” to
each Participant or Beneficiary receiving a distribution of Company Stock from the Plan.
The Put Option shall permit the Participant or Beneficiary to sell such Company Stock at
its then Fair Market Value, as determined by an Independent Appraiser, to the Company, at
any time during the 60 day period commencing on the date the Company Stock was
distributed to the recipient and, if not exercised within that period, the Put Option
will temporarily lapse. Upon the close of the Plan Year in which such temporary lapse of
the Put Option occurs, the Independent Appraiser shall determine the value of the Company
Stock, and the Trustee shall notify each distributee who did not exercise the initial Put
Option prior to its temporary lapse in the preceding Plan Year of the revised value of
the Company Stock. The time during which the Put Option may be exercised shall recommence
on the date such notice or revaluation is given and shall permanently terminate 60 days
thereafter. The Trustee may be permitted by the Company to purchase Company Stock put to
the Company under a Put Option. At the option of the Company or the Trustee, as the case
may be, the payment for Company Stock sold pursuant to a Put Option shall be made in the
following forms:  

	

36

	

			(a) 		if
the Company Stock was distributed as part of a total distribution (that is, a
distribution within one taxable year of a Participant of the balance of the credit of his
KSOP Accounts), then payments may be made in substantially equal annual installments
commencing within 30 days from the date of the exercise of the Put Option and over a
period not exceeding 5 years, with interest payable at a reasonable rate (as determined
by the Company) on any unpaid installment balance, with adequate security provided, and
without penalty for any prepayment of such installments; or

			(b) 		if
a Participant or Beneficiary exercises a Put Option on a distribution of Company Stock
made to him in periodic payments (in accordance with Section 11.3(c), then the payment
for such Company Stock may be made in a lump sum no later than 30 days after such
Participant exercises the Put Option.

	 	
The
Trustee on behalf of the Trust may offer to purchase any shares of Company Stock (which
are not sold pursuant to a Put Option) from any former Participant or Beneficiary at any
time in the future, at their then fair market value. 

	13.3 		SHARE
LEGEND. Shares of Company Stock held or distributed by the Trustee may include such
legend restrictions on transferability as the Company may reasonably require in order to
assure compliance with applicable Federal and State securities laws.  

	13.4 		NONTERMINABLE
RIGHTS.The provisions of this Section 13 shall continue to be applicable to shares of
Company Stock even if the Plan ceases to be an Employee Stock Ownership within the
meaning of section 4975(e)(7) of the Code.  

	

SECTION 14 — HARDSHIP
LOANS

The Administrative
Committee may, upon written application of the Participant, authorize a loan or
loans to the Participant subject to the following: 

37

	

			(a) 		Purpose.
Loans will be permitted only for purposes described in 26 CFR Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2),
which establish standards deemed to satisfy the hardship condition for distribution of
Elective Contributions. Specifically, these purposes are:

					(i)  		extraordinary
expenses for medical care previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant’s
spouse, or any dependents of the Participant, or necessary for these persons to obtain
medical care; or 

					(ii)  		costs
directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the Participant, excluding
mortgage payments; or 

					(iii)  		payment
of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for the next 12 months
of post-secondary education for the Participant, or the Participant’s spouse,
children, or dependents; or 

					(iv)  		payments
necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the Participant’s
principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence. 

			(b) 		Maximum
Limits. Loans will be limited to the lesser of:

					(i)  		1⁄2 of
the value of the Participant’s nonforfeitable Account balance, or 

					(ii)  		$50,000
reduced by the maximum outstanding loan balance (if any) during the 12-month period
ending on the day before the loan is taken. 

			(c) 		Availability.
Loans must be available to all Participants on a reasonably equitable basis and the
availability shall be communicated to all Participants. Loans shall not be made available
to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than that made available to other
employees.

			(d) 		Interest
Rate. A reasonable rate of interest shall be charged on each loan. What is reasonable
depends on factors such as the amount of loan, adequacy of security, duration of loan,
repayment schedule, current market conditions, variable or fixed rate of interest, what
is customary in similar arm’s length transactions in the community, and other
economic and time factors.

	

38

	

			(e) 		Schedule
of Loan Payments. Loan agreements shall provide for repayment within five (5) years
from the date of the loan, except when a loan is used to purchase a residence in which
the period of repayment shall not exceed fifteen (15) years.

			(f) 		Other
Rules:

	 	(1)
All plans of all related businesses are to be combined for purposes of maximum limits on
loans.

	 	(2)
All loans must be evidenced by a written loan agreement signed by all relevant parties to
the loan and evidenced by a promissory note of the borrower where the borrower personally
guarantees the repayment of the loan and secures the loan on the Participant’s
account balance.

	 	(3)
A Participant’s spouse must consent in writing for a Participant to use any part of
their account balance as security for the loan. Spousal consent shall be obtained no
earlier than the beginning of the 90-day period ending on the date the loan is made. The
consent must acknowledge the effect of the loan and must be witnessed by a plan
representative or notary public. The consent is binding with respect to the loan for
which it is given. A new consent shall be required if the loan is revised, renegotiated,
renewed or extended.

	 	(4)
The loan document must provide for payments to be made at least monthly, in a level
amount, which will fully amortize the loan over its duration.

	 	(5)
The Trustee may provide for loans to be considered an investment of the borrower’s
account. The Trustee shall act consistently in making this determination.

	 	(6)
Any loan outstanding at the time a Participant receives a distribution shall be repaid by
offsetting the balance due (plus accrued interest and any costs) against the amount to be
distributed.

	 	(7)
The Trustee may charge a reasonable fee for processing any loan, which fee shall be
charged against the Participant’s account.

	 	(8)
Loans shall not be made in amounts less than $1,000.

SECTION 15 — THE
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE

	15.1 		APPOINTMENT
AND AUTHORITY. The Administrative Committee referred to in Section 1.2 shall be
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Section 15, the Administrative Committee shall have the following
powers, rights and duties in addition to those vested in it elsewhere in the Plan:  

	

39

	

			(a) 		To
adopt such rules of procedure and regulations as, in its opinion, may be necessary for
the proper and efficient administration of the Plan and as are consistent with the
provisions of the Plan;

			(b) 		To
enforce the Plan in accordance with its terms and with such applicable rules and
regulations as may be adopted by the Administrative Committee;

			(c) 		To
determine all questions arising under the Plan, including the power to determine the
rights or eligibility of employees or Participants and their Beneficiaries and their
respective benefits, and to remedy ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions;

			(d) 		To
give such directions to the Trustee with respect to the Trust Fund as may be provided in
the Trust Agreement, including the depositories which have been designated by the Board,
which must be an incorporated Federally insured bank or trust company;

			(e) 		To
maintain and keep adequate books, records and other data as shall be necessary to
administer the Plan, except those that are maintained by the Company of the Trustee, and
to meet the disclosure and reporting requirements of ERISA;

			(f) 		To
direct all payments of benefits under the Plan;

			(g) 		To
establish an investment policy and objective for the Plan;

			(h) 		To
be agent for the service of legal process on behalf of the Plan;

			(i) 		To
execute any documents on behalf of the Administrative Committee, in which event the
Administrative Committee shall notify the Trustee in writing of such action;

			(j) 		To
perform any other acts necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and the
discharge of its duties.

	 	
The
certificate of a Administrative Committee member that the Administrative Committee has
taken or authorized any action shall be conclusive in favor of any person relying on the
certificate. 

	15.2 		DELEGATION
BY ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE. The Administrative Committee may establish
procedures for allocation of fiduciary responsibilities and delegation of fiduciary
responsibilities to persons other than named fiduciaries; however, the delegation of the
power to manage or control Plan assets may only be delegated to an Investment Manager, as
defined in section 3(38) of ERISA. In exercising its authority to control and manage the
operation and administration of the Plan, the Administrative Committee may employ agents
and counsel (who may also be employed by or represent any Employer) and to delegate to
them such powers as the Administrative Committee deems desirable. Any such delegation or
appointment shall be in writing. The writing contemplated by the foregoing sentence shall
fully describe the advice to be rendered or the functions and duties to be performed by
the delegate.  

	

40

	

	15.3 		UNIFORM
RULES. In managing the Plan, the Administrative Committee will uniformly apply rules
and regulations. 

	15.4 		INFORMATION
TO BE FURNISHED TO ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE. The Employers shall furnish the
Administrative Committee such data and information as may be required. The Administrative
Committee shall be entitled to rely on any information furnished by the Company that is
needed for calculation of benefits due under the Plan, or any matters relating to
administration of the Plan. A Participant, surviving spouse, or other person entitled to
benefits under the Plan must furnish to the Administrative Committee such evidence, data
or information as the Administrative Committee considers desirable to carry out the Plan.
Any benefits under the Plan may be conditional upon the prompt submission of such
information. Any adjustment by the Administrative Committee by reason of a misstatement
of age or lack of information will be made in a manner the Administrative Committee deems
equitable.  

	15.5 		ADMINISTRATIVE
COMMITTEE’S DECISION FINAL. To the extent permitted by law, any interpretation
of the Plan and any decision on any matter within the discretion of the Administrative
Committee (such as eligibility for participation and the timing and amount of benefit
payments) made by the Administrative Committee in good faith is binding on all persons. A
misstatement or other mistake of fact shall be corrected when it becomes known, and the
Administrative Committee shall make such adjustment on account thereof as they consider
equitable and practicable.  

	15.6 		EXERCISE
OF ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE’S DUTIES. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, the Administrative Committee members shall discharge their duties
hereunder solely in the interests of the Participants and other persons entitled to
benefits under the Plan, and:  

			(a) 		for
the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and other persons entitled to
benefits under the Plan;

			(b) 		with
the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a
prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of a alike character and with like aims; and

	

41

	

			(c) 		in
accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan insofar as they are
consistent with ERISA.

	15.7 		REMUNERATION
AND EXPENSES. No remuneration shall be paid to a Administrative Committee member as
such. However, the reasonable expenses of a Administrative Committee incurred in the
performance of an Administrative Committee function shall be reimbursed by the Employers. 

	15.8 		INDEMNIFICATION
OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any
person or entity appointed by the Board of Directors to serve as an Administrative
Committee member shall be indemnified by the Company against any and all liabilities,
settlements, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
of whatever kind and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Committee or its members by reason of the performance or nonperformance of
a Administrative Committee function if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Company, such action was not dishonest or in willful violation of the law or regulations
under which such liability, loss, cost, or expense arose. Furthermore, the Company agrees
to indemnify the Administrative Committee members against any liability imposed as a
result of a claim asserted by any person or persons under Federal or state law where the
Administrative Committee acts in good faith or in reliance on a written direction or
certification of the Company. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition
to other rights the members have by law or by reason of insurance coverage of any kind.
The Company may, at its own expense, settle any claim asserted or proceeding brought
against any member of the Administrative Committee when such settlement appears to be in
the best interests of the Company. If the Company obtains fiduciary liability insurance
to protect the Administrative Committee or any of its members, the provisions of this
Section 15.8 shall be applicable only to the extent that such insurance coverage is
insufficient.  

	15.9 		RESIGNATION
OR REMOVAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER. Any person or entity appointed
as a Committee member may resign at any time by delivering their written resignation to
the Company. The Company, at its discretion, may immediately remove any or all of the
Committee members with or without cause upon delivery of written notice to them.  

	15.10 		APPOINTMENT
OF SUCCESSOR COMMITTEE. The Board will promptly fill any vacancy in the membership of
the Committee and shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other Employers and the
Trustee.  

	15.11 		INTERESTED
PERSON. A fiduciary may not decide or determine any matter or question concerning his
own benefits under the Plan or as to how they are to be paid to him unless such decision
should be made by him under the Plan if he were not a member of the Committee, except
when such decision applies to all Participants similarly. If a person is disqualified to
act, the Company may appoint a temporary member to exercise the powers of the interested
person concerning the matter as to which he is disqualified, or the remaining Committee
members may act without the appointment of a new Committee member.  

	

42

	

	15.12 		CLAIMS
PROCEDURE. Any Participant or Beneficiary who disputes the Administrative Committee’s
determination of the benefits due to him under the Plan may file a claim with the
Administrative Committee. A claim must be in writing, in a form which gives the
Administrative Committee reasonable notice of the claim, and authorizes the
Administrative Committee to take all steps necessary to determine the validity of the
claim and to facilitate the payment of any benefits to which the claimant is entitled.
The Administrative Committee will, if reasonably possible, decide whether to grant or to
deny a claim within ninety (90) days after it is filed. If a longer period is needed, the
Administrative Committee will, no later than the last day of the ninety (90) day period,
notify the claimant of the extension of time and the reasons why it is needed. A decision
must then be rendered within ninety (90) days after the claimant was notified of the
extension. If the Administrative Committee does not act within the time specified by this
Section 15.12, the claim is automatically denied, and the claimant may appeal in
accordance with this Section 15.12. If the Administrative Committee determines that a
claim should be denied, it will give the claimant written notice of denial. This notice
must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, state specific
reasons for denying the claim, citing the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is
based, explain the procedure for reviewing the Administrative Committee’s decision,
and if the claim is denied because the Administrative Committee lacks adequate
information to reach a decision, state what information is needed to make a decision
possible and why it is needed. If a claim is denied, the claimant may appeal to the
Company. His appeal must be submitted in writing to the Company no later than sixty (60)
days after the earlier of the date on which he receives notice of denial or the
expiration of the period within which the Company is required to make a decision. The
claimant or his representative may submit any documents or written arguments that he
desires in support of his claim, and the Company may, but is not required to, hold a
hearing on the claim. The Company will, if reasonably possible, decided the claimant’s
appeal within sixty (60) days after it is filed. If a longer period is needed, the
Company will, no later than the last day of the sixty (60) period, notify the claimant of
the extension of time and the reasons why it is needed. A decision must then be rendered
within sixty (60) days after the claimant was notified of the extension. If the Company
does not act within the time specified by this Section 15.12, the appeal is automatically
denied. If the Company determines that an appeal should be denied, it must give the
claimant written notice of the denial in the same manner as required on initial denial of
the claim by the Company.  

	

43

	

SECTION 16 —
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	16.1 		AMENDMENT.
While the Employers expect and intend to continue the Plan, the Company must reserve and
reserves the right, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3, to amend the Plan at any
time, except as follows:  

			(a) 		the
duties and liabilities of the Trustee cannot be substantially changed without their
consent; and

			(b) 		no
amendment shall reduce a Participant’s benefits to less than the amount such
Participant would be entitled to receive if such Participant had resigned from the employ
of all of the Employers and Related Companies on the date of the amendment.

	16.2 		TERMINATION.
The Plan will terminate as to all of the Employers on any day specified by the Company.
The Plan will terminate as to any Employer on the first to occur of the following: 

			(a) 		the
date it is terminated by that Employer if 30 days’ advance written notice is given to
the Trustee,

			(b) 		the
date that Employer’s contributions under the Plan are completely discontinued;

			(c) 		the
date that the Employer is judicially declared bankrupt under Chapter 7 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code;

			(d) 		the
dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of that Employer, or the sale by
that Employer of all or substantially all of its assets, except that, subject to the
provisions of Section 16.3, with the consent of the Company, in any event such
arrangements may be made whereby the Plan will be continued by any successor to that
Employer or substituted for that Employer under the Plan.

	16.3 		MERGER
AND CONSOLIDATION OF PLAN, TRANSFER OF PLAN ASSETS. In the case of any merger or
consolidation with, or transfer of assets and liabilities to, any other plan, provisions
shall be made so that each Participant in the plan on the date thereof, if the Plan then
terminated, would receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or
transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit which he would have been entitled
to receive immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or transfer, if the Plan had
then terminated.  

	16.4 		VESTING
AND DISTRIBUTION ON TERMINATION AND PARTIAL TERMINATION. On termination of the Plan
in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.2 or on partial termination of the Plan
by operation of law, the date of termination or partial termination, as the case may be,
will be an Accounting Date and, after all adjustments then required under the Plan have
been made, each affected employee’s benefits will be nonforfeitable. If, on
termination of the Plan, a Participant remains an employee of an Employer or a Related
Company, the amount of the Participant’s benefits may be retained in the Trust until
after the Participant’s termination of employment with the Employers and the Related
Companies and shall be paid to such Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s
death, to the Beneficiary thereof in a lump sum. The benefits payable to a Participant
whose employment with the employers and Related Companies is terminated coincident with
the termination of the Plan (and the benefits payable to an affected employee on partial
termination of the Plan) shall be paid to the Participant or, in the event of the
Participant’s death, to the Beneficiary thereof in a lump sum. All appropriate
accounting provisions of the Plan will continue to apply until the benefits of all
affected persons have been distributed to them.  

	

44

	

	16.5 		NOTICE
OF AMENDMENT, TERMINATION OR PARTIAL TERMINATION. Affected Participants will be
notified of an amendment, termination or partial termination of the Plan as required by
law. 

	

SECTION 17 — TOP
HEAVY PROVISIONS

     The
Plan will be a “top-heavy Plan” if, as of the last day of the Plan year or, as
of the day next preceding the beginning of any later Plan Year (the “Determination
Date”) and determined in accordance with the provisions of section 416(g) of the
Code, the aggregate present value of the accrued benefits and account balances of all
“Key Employees” (within the meaning of section 416(i) of the Code) and their
Beneficiaries exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate present value of the accrued
benefits and account balances of all Participants and Beneficiaries. The aggregate
present value of the accrued benefits and account balances of a Participant who has not
performed any services for an Employer or a Related Company during the five year period
ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account. The term “Aggregation
Group” shall include each plan of an Employer or Related Company which includes a Key
Employee and each Plan of the Employer or related company (including a plan terminated
during the 5 preceding years) which allows the Plan to meet the requirements of sections
401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code and may include any other plan of an Employer or Related
Company, if the Aggregation Group would continue to meet the requirements of sections
401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.  

     If the
Plan is a top-heavy plan, effective as of the first day of the Plan Year, Section 4 will
automatically be amended to provide that the aggregate amount of Employer Contributions
allocated in each Plan Year to the KSOP Stock Account and the KSOP Cash Account of each
Participant who is not a Key Employee (within the meaning of section 416(i)(1) of the
Code), and who is employed by the Employer as of the last day of the Plan Year, may not
be less than the lesser of:  

45

	

					(1)  		three
percent of his Adjusted Compensation for the Plan Year; or 

					(2)  		a
percentage of his Adjusted Compensation equal to the largest percentage obtained by
dividing the sum of the amount credited to the KSOP Stock Account and the KSOP Cash
Account of any Key Employee by that Key Employee’s Adjusted Compensation. 

	

If the Plan is a top-heavy
plan, effective as of the first day of the Plan Year, Section 11.1(d) will be
modified as to all Participants who performed an Hour of Service during such
Plan Year to provide as follows: 

		Number of Years of Service
	Vested Percentage
	
		Less than 2 years 	   0%	
		2 years but less than 3 years	 20%	
		3 years but less than 4 years	 40%	
		4 years but less than 5 years	 60%	
		5 years but less than 6 years	 80%	
		6 years or more	100%	

	

     Effective
for plan years beginning prior to January 1, 2000, if the Plan is a top-heavy plan, then
“1.0” shall be substituted for “1.25” in the denominator of the Defined
Contribution Fraction and the Defined Benefit Fraction as they are defined in Section
8.4(d).  

     The
preceding provisions will remain in effect for the period in which the Plan is top-heavy.
If, for any particular years thereafter, the Plan is no longer top-heavy, the Company may
amend or delete such provisions from the Plan, except that the vesting schedule described
in this Section 17 may not be made less favorable for any Participant who has completed
three or more years of Service, and no amendment may cause any previously vested portion
of any Account balance to become forfeitable.  

SECTION 18 — MISCELLANEOUS

	18.1 		APPLICABLE
LAWS. The Plan shall be construed and administered according to the laws of the state
of Texas, to the extent that such laws are not preempted by the laws of the United States
of America. 

	18.2 		GENDER
AND NUMBER. Where the context permits, words in any gender shall include any other
gender, words in the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the
singular. 

	18.3 		NOTICES.
Any notice or document required to be filed with the Administrative Committee or Trustee
under the Plan will be properly filed if delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage
prepaid, to the Administrative Committee or Trustee in care of the Company at its
principal executive offices. Any notice required under the Plan may be waived in writing
by the person entitled to notice.  

	

46

	

	18.4 		EVIDENCE.
Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or
other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and
signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.  

	18.5 		ACTION
BY EMPLOYER. Any action required or permitted to be taken by an Employer under the
Plan shall be by resolution of its Board of Directors or by a person or person authorized
by its Board of Directors. 

	18.6		EXPENSES.
All proper charges and expenses incurred by the Administrative Committee or the Trustee
in the administration of the Plan and Trust may be paid by the Employer, or at its
election at any time or from time to time, may be charged against the assets of the
Trust, but until so paid shall constitute a charge upon the assets of the Trust.  

	18.7		QUALIFIED
MILITARY SERVICE. If any Employee or Participant acquires rights under chapter 43 of
title 38, United States Code, resulting from qualified military service, then the
following rules shall apply to such Employee or Participant:  

			1. 		Any
Employer contribution on behalf of such Participant shall not be subject to any otherwise
applicable limitation contained in code Section 402(g), 402(h), 403(b), 404(a), 404(h),
408, 415, and 457, and shall not be taken into account in applying such limitations to
other contributions or benefits under such plan or any other plan, with respect to the
year in which the contribution is made; 

			2. 		such
contribution shall be subject to the aforementioned limitations with respect to the year
to which the contribution relates (in accordance with rules prescribed by the secretary);

			3. 		The
Participant may make additional elective deferrals during the period which begins on the
date of reemployment of such Employee with the Employer and has the same length as the
lesser of (i)the product of 3 and the period of qualified military service which resulted
in such rights, and (ii) 5 years; 

			4. 		If
the Plan suspends the obligation to repay any loan made to a Participant from the Plan
for any part of any period during which such Employee is performing service in the
uniformed services (as defined in chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code), whether
or not qualified military service, such suspension shall not be taken into account for
purposes of Section 72(p), 401(a), or 4975(d)(1); 

	

47

	

			5. 		An
individual reemployed under such chapter is treated with respect to the plan as not
having incurred a break in service with the Employer by reason of such individual’s
period of qualified military service. 

			6. 		Each
period of qualified military service served by an individual is, upon reemployment under
such chapter, deemed with respect to the Plan to constitute service with the Employer for
the purpose of determining the nonforfeitability of the individual’s account balance
and for the purposes of determining contribution allocations. 

			7. 		An
individual reemployed under such chapter is entitled to contribution allocations that are
conditioned on the making of elective contributions only to the extent such individual
makes such matching contributions within the period beginning with the date of
reemployment and continuing for 3 times the period of qualified military service (but not
greater than 5 years.)

available for future grant under the Plan.

        4.     Administration of the Plan.

               (a)    Procedure.

                      (i)    Multiple Administrative Bodies. Different
Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer
the Plan.

                      (ii)   Section 162(m). To the extent that the
Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Options granted hereunder
as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more "outside
directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

                      (iii)  Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify
transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated
hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under
Rule 16b-3.

                      (iv)   Other Administration. Other than as provided above,
the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which
committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.

               (b)    Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties
delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the
authority, in its discretion:

                      (i)    to determine the Fair Market Value;

                      (ii)   to select the Service Providers to whom Options and
Stock Purchase Rights may be granted hereunder;

                      (iii)  to determine the number of shares of Common Stock
to be covered by each Option and Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder;

                      (iv)   to approve forms of agreement for use under the
Plan;

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                      (v)    to determine the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Option or Stock Purchase Right
granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to,
the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights may
be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting
acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or
limitation regarding any Option or Stock Purchase Right or the shares of Common
Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, shall determine;

                      (vi)   to reduce the exercise price of any Option or Stock
Purchase Right to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock covered by such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall have
declined since the date the Option or Stock Purchase Right was granted;

                      (vii)  to institute an Option Exchange Program;

                      (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

                      (ix)   to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to
sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws;

                      (x)    to modify or amend each Option or Stock Purchase
Right (subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary
authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer
than is otherwise provided for in the Plan;

                      (xi)   to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair
Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that
the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by an
Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and
under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

                      (xii)  to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right previously granted by the Administrator;

                      (xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary
or advisable for administering the Plan.

               (c)    Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's
decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of Options or Stock Purchase Rights.

        5.     Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights
may be granted only to Service Providers.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

        6.     Limitations.

               (a)    Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as
a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

               (b)    Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the
Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they
interfere in any way with the Optionee's right or the Company's right to
terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

               (c)    The following limitations shall apply to grants of
Options:

                      (i)    Except as provided in subparagraph (ii) below, no
Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to
purchase more than 2,000,000 Shares.

                      (ii)   In connection with his or her initial service, a
Service Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional
8,000,000 Shares, which shall not count against the limit set forth in
subsection (i) above.

                      (iii)  The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization as
described in Section 13.

                      (iv)   If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year
of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a
transaction described in Section 13), the cancelled Option will be counted
against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above. For this
purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction will be
treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option.

        7.     Term of Plan. Subject to Section 19 of the Plan, the Plan shall
become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for
a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan.

        8.     Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the
Option Agreement.

        9.     Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

               (a)    Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the
Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the
Administrator, subject to the following:

                      (i)    In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per
Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator. In the case of a
Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                      (ii)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be
granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate
transaction.

               (b)    Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option
is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may
be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before
the Option may be exercised.

               (c)    Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine
the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the
method of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

                      (i)    cash;

                      (ii)   check;

                      (iii)  promissory note;

                      (iv)   other Shares, provided Shares acquired from the
Company, (A) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the
date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender
equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option
shall be exercised;

                      (v)    consideration received by the Company under a
cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the
Plan;

                      (vi)   a reduction in the amount of any Company liability
to the Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee's
participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or
arrangement;

                      (vii)  any combination of the foregoing methods of
payment; or

                      (viii) such other consideration and method of payment for
the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

        10.    Exercise of Option.

               (a)    Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan
and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator
and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides
otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any
unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share.

        An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i)
written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise
of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the
Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares
are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive
dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the
Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall
issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is
exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which
the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided
in Section 13 of the Plan.

        Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares
thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the
Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

               (b)    Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's death
or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of
time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is
vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of
a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable
for three (3) months following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the
Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.
If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within
the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the
Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

               (c)    Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a
Service Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may
exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the
Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination
(but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option
Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following
the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not
vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
to the Plan.

               (d)    Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service
Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified
in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term
of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or
by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's
termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or
her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the
executor or administrator of the Optionee's estate

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the
Optionee's will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so
exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the
Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

        11.    Stock Purchase Rights.

               (a)    Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued
either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the
Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator
determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall
advise the offeree in writing or electronically, by means of a Notice of Grant,
of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the
number of Shares that the offeree shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be
paid, and the time within which the offeree must accept such offer. The offer
shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the
form determined by the Administrator.

               (b)    Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a
repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of
the purchaser's service with the Company for any reason (including death or
Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original price paid by the
purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser
to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at a rate determined by the
Administrator.

               (c)    Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with
the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

               (d)    Rights as a Shareholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is
exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a
shareholder, and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon
the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 13
of the Plan.

        12.    Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Unless
determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option or Stock Purchase Right may
not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any
manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the
Administrator makes an Option or Stock Purchase Right transferable, such Option
or Stock Purchase Right shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.

        13.    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger
or Asset Sale.

               (a)    Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action
by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered
by each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of
Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an
Option or Stock Purchase Right, the number of shares that may be added annually
to the shares reserved under the Plan (pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)), as well as
the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or
Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of
the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company;
provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration."
Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares
of Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Right.

               (b)    Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as
to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any
Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall lapse
as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes
place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been
previously exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

               (c)    Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase
Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In
the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the
Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the
right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned
Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or
exercisable. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and
exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or
sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or
electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully vested and
exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and
the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such
period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the
option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of
Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior
to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or
other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by
holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided, however, that if such consideration

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of
the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the
exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of
assets.

        14.    Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase
Right shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other later
date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be
provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

        15.    Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

               (a)    Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

               (b)    Shareholder Approval. The Company shall obtain shareholder
approval of the Plan and any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and
desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

               (c)    Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment,
alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any
Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and
the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's
ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options
granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

        16.    Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

               (a)    Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to
the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the exercise of such
Option or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such Shares
shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval
of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

               (b)    Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise
of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require the person
exercising such Option or Stock Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the
time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for
investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares
if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required.

sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.
