                                      -5-
<PAGE>
                  (i) The distribution is not in excess of the amount of the
            immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant (that cannot
            be satisfied by distributions and/or non-taxable loans of the types
            described in subparagraph (ii) below). This distribution may include
            any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income
            taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the
            distribution.

                  (ii) The Participant has obtained (or requested) all
            distributions (including distributions after attaining age 59-1/2
            and distributions of Rollover Contributions), other than hardship
            distributions, and all non-taxable loans currently available under
            all plans maintained by the Employer or any Affiliate.

            In the event of any hardship distribution to a Participant
      hereunder, such Participant may not make Salary Deferral Contributions or
      Catch-Up Contributions (or comparable contributions) to the Plan or to any
      other deferred compensation plans maintained by the Employer or any
      Affiliate during the 12 calendar months immediately following the date of
      such hardship withdrawal. Effective January 1, 2002, the 12 calendar month
      suspension provided for in the preceding sentence shall be 6 calendar
      months. The Participant also may not make Salary Deferral Contributions
      (or comparable contributions) to the Plan or to any other tax-qualified
      retirement plan maintained by the Employer or any Affiliate, for the
      calendar year immediately following the calendar year of the hardship
      withdrawal, in excess of the applicable limit under Section 402(g) of the
      Code for such next calendar year less the amount of such Participant's
      Salary Deferral Contributions (or comparable contributions) made on his
      behalf to the Plan or to any other tax-qualified retirement plan
      maintained by the Employer or any Affiliate for the calendar year of the
      hardship distribution. Effective January 1, 2002, the post-hardship
      contribution limit provided for in the preceding sentence shall no longer
      apply.

            The foregoing provisions shall be applied on a uniform and
      nondiscriminatory basis and shall be subject to such changes as the
      Committee may deem to be necessary at any time to comply with Treasury
      Regulations or other rules issued under Section 401(k) of the Code."

      21. Sections 7.8(b)(i) and (ii) are amended to read as follows:

            "(i) 'Eligible Rollover Distribution' shall mean any distribution of
      all or any portion of the Participant's Vested Account Balance, except
      that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include:

                  (A) Any distribution that is one of a series of substantially
            equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for
            the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant or the joint lives
            (or joint life

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
            expectancies) of the Participant and the Participant's designated
            beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more.

                  (B) Any distribution to the extent such distribution is
            required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.

                  (C) The portion of any distribution that is not includible in
            gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net
            unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).
            Effective January 1, 2002, a portion of a distribution shall not
            fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the
            portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not
            includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred
            only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in
            Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined
            contribution plan as described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the
            Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred,
            including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution
            which is includible in gross income and the portion of such
            distribution which is not so includible.

                  (D) Effective January 1, 2000, any distribution of a
            Participant's Salary Deferral Contributions made pursuant to Section
            7.5 on account of hardship and, effective January 1, 2002, any
            distribution of a Participant's Vested Account Balance made pursuant
            to Section 7.5 on account of hardship.

            (ii) 'Eligible Retirement Plan' shall mean an individual retirement
      account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement
      annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described
      in Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section
      401(a) of the Code, that accepts the Participant's Eligible Rollover
      Distribution. However, in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to
      a surviving spouse, an Eligible Retirement Plan shall mean only an
      individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity. Effective
      for distributions made on or after January 1, 2002 'Eligible Retirement
      Plan' shall also mean an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b)
      and an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a
      state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality
      of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to
      separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan.
      This definition of 'Eligible Retirement Plan' shall also apply in the case
      of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse
      who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as
      defined in Code Section 414(p)."

      22. Section 10.2(g) is amended to read as follows:

            "(g) 'Top-Heavy Plan' shall mean with respect to any Plan Year, the
      Plan if, as of the Determination Date, the Plan is not part of an
      Aggregation Group and the aggregate of the accounts under the Plan of all
      Key Employees exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate of the accounts
      under the Plan of all employees, or if, as of the Determination Date, the
      Plan is part of a Top-Heavy Group. In determining the amount of the
      account or the cumulative accrued benefit of any employee for purposes of
      determining if the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, including the determination
      of whether the Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group the following rules
      shall apply:

                  (i) The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of
            account balances of an Employee as of the Determination Date shall
            be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee
            under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section
            416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the
            Determination Date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to
            distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been
            terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section
            416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for
            a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability,
            this provision shall be applied by substituting '5-year period' for
            '1-year period.'

                  (ii) The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who
            has not performed services for the Employer during the 1-year period
            ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account."

      23.   Section 10.3 is amended by adding the following new sentence at
the end thereof to read:

            "In determining whether the Employer has made any contribution
      required under this Section 10.3, any Matching Contributions made by the
      Employer under Section 3.2 (or any similar contributions made under any
      other plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliate) shall be taken into
      account."

      24.   Effective Dates.

            (a) The amendment made by paragraph 11 shall be effective as of
January 1, 2002.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
            (b) Except otherwise provided, the amendments made by paragraphs 1,
2, 4, 6 through 10, 12 through 16 and 18 through 23 shall be effective as of
January 1, 2002. The amendments made by such paragraphs shall supersede the
provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the
provisions of the amendment. The amendments made by such paragraphs are adopted
to reflect certain provisions of EGTRRA and are intended as good faith
compliance with the requirements of EGTRRA and guidance issued thereunder.

            (c) The amendments made by paragraphs 3, 5 and 17 shall be effective
January 1, 2003.
