                  Period

                Participants
                  may, in the discretion of the Committee, be given credit for some
                  Forgone
                  Vacations that occurred before the Plan was adopted and in such
                  case, the
                  Committee will advise each Participant of the amount of Deferred
                  Credits
                  deemed earned and the value thereof (which likewise is determined
                  at the
                  discretion of the Committee).

                  Credit
                  shall be 20% of the Participant's weekly salary at the time of
                  the Forgone
                  Vacation.

                The
                  Deferred Credit shall earn simple interest at the rate of 5% per
                  annum.
                  The Deferred Credit and the accrued interest thereon shall be called
                  the
                  "Total Deferred Credit".

                  each
                  Participant will be informed of the value of his or her Total Deferred

                  be notified
                  and shall give due consideration to the claim presented. If the
                  claim is
                  denied to any extent by the Committee, the Committee shall furnish
                  the
                  Claimant with a written notice setting forth (in a manner calculated

                  for the
                  Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material
                  or
                  information is necessary; and

      A
        Claimant, who has a claim denied, may appeal to the Committee for
        reconsideration of that claim. A request for reconsideration under this section
        must be filed by written notice within sixty (60) days after receipt by the
        Claimant of the notice of denial.

       

      Upon
        receipt of an appeal, the Committee shall promptly take action to give due
        consideration to the appeal. Such consideration may include a hearing of
        the
        parties involved, if the Committee feels such a hearing is necessary. In
        preparing for this appeal, the Claimant shall be given the right to review
        pertinent documents and the right to submit in writing a statement of issues
        and
        comments. After consideration of the merits of the appeal, the Committee
        shall
        issue a written decision, which shall be binding on all

        The decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by
        the
        Claimant and shall specifically state its reasons and pertinent Plan provisions
        on which it relies. The Committee's decision shall be issued within sixty
        (60)
        days after the appeal is filed, except that if a hearing is held, the decision
        may be issued within one hundred twenty (120) days after the appeal is
        filed.

       

      The
        Committee may designate one or more of its members or any other person of
