                                   AMENDMENT NO. 2
                                        TO
                                 THE TIMKEN COMPANY
                         1996 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     The Timken Company hereby adopts this Amendment No. 2 to the 1996 Deferred

Compensation Plan for The Timken Company (the "Plan"), effective as of

December ___, 2003. Words and phrases used herein with initial capital letters

that are defined in the Plan are used herein as so defined, provided, however,

in the case where a word or phrase used herein with initial capital letters is

specifically identified as being used herein as defined in The Timken Company -

Latrobe Steel Company Savings and Investment Pension Plan (referred to herein as

the "Savings and Investment Pension Plan"), the word or phrase shall be used

herein as so defined in the Savings and Investment Pension Plan.

     Article VI of the Plan is hereby added to the Plan to read as follows:

                                   ARTICLE VI

                           EXCESS CORE CONTRIBUTIONS

     1.  Purpose.  The purpose of this Article VI is to amend the Plan such that

certain contributions designated by the Company (referred to herein as "Excess

Core Contributions") may be deferred and paid to Eligible Associates under the

terms of the Plan.  The provisions of this Article VI shall supercede the

provisions of Article II with respect to Excess Core Contributions.  All other

provisions of the Plan shall apply to Excess Core Contributions.

     2.  Designation of Excess Core Contributions.  Prior to the beginning of a

Year in which the Company may make an Excess Core Contribution(s) with respect

to an Eligible Associate, the General Manager - Total Rewards of the Company (or

other Company administrative representative as may be designated by the

Committee) shall notify the Eligible Associate of the formula to determine the

amount of the Excess Core Contribution(s) for the Eligible Associate and timing

of such Excess Core Contribution(s).

     3.  Vested Excess Core Contributions and Unvested Excess Core

Contributions.  In the case of an Eligible Associate with at least three Years

of Service (as defined in and determined under the Savings and Investment

Pension Plan) ("Years of Service") as of the date an Excess Core Contribution is

made with respect thereto, such Excess Core Contribution shall be referred to

herein as a "Vested Excess Core Contribution".  In the case of an Eligible

Associate with less than three Years of Service as of the date an Excess Core

Contribution is made with respect thereto, such Excess Core Contribution shall

be referred to herein as an "Unvested Excess Core Contribution".

     4. Election to Defer.  An Eligible Associate who desires to defer all or

part of his or her Vested or Unvested Excess Core Contribution(s) for a Year

pursuant to this Plan must complete and deliver an Election Agreement to the

General Manager - Total Rewards of the Company (or other Company administrative

representative as may be designated by the Committee) prior to the beginning of

the Year for which the Excess Core Contribution(s) are made.  Notwithstanding

the preceding sentence, (i) with respect to any Excess Core Contribution(s) for

2004, an Eligible Associate may deliver an Election Agreement within 30 days of

the Company's adoption of this Amendment No. 2, (ii) in the first Year in which

an individual becomes an Eligible Associate, the individual may deliver an

Election Agreement, with respect to any Excess Core Contribution(s) made

subsequent to filing of such Election Agreement, within 30 days after the

individual becomes an Eligible Associate and (iii) an Eligible Associate with

                                -2-

less than three Years of Service as of the date of an Excess Core Contribution

shall elect, or (in the absence of a properly filed Election Agreement) shall be

deemed to have elected, to defer all of his or her Unvested Excess Core

Contribution for a Year (and any Election Agreement to the contrary shall be

disregarded and treated as not properly filed hereunder).  An Eligible Associate

who defers Excess Core Contribution(s) pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall

be a Participant.  In order to be effective to revoke or modify an election to

defer Excess Core Contribution(s) for any particular Year, a revocation or

modification must be delivered prior to the beginning of the Year for which the

Excess Core Contribution(s) are made.

     5.  Amount Deferred; Period of Deferral.  A Participant shall designate on

the  Election Agreement the percentage or the dollar amount of his or her Excess

Core Contribution(s) that is to be deferred.  The applicable percentage(s) or

dollar amount(s) of Excess Core Contribution(s) shall be deferred until (i) the

date the Participant ceases to be an associate by death, retirement or otherwise

or (ii) the date otherwise specified by the Participant in the Election

Agreement, including a date determined by reference to the date the Participant

ceases to be an associate by death, retirement or otherwise; provided, however,

that with respect to the deferral of any Unvested Excess Core Contribution(s),

the period of deferral can end no sooner than the date on which the Eligible

Associate has achieved three Years of Service.

     6.  Accounts.  An Excess Core Contribution that a Participant defers under

this Plan shall be treated as if it was credited to an Account on the date the

Excess Core Contribution is made.  A separate Account shall be maintained with

respect to Vested Excess Core Contribution(s) and Unvested Excess Core

Contribution(s).  All accounts will be credited with interest computed quarterly

(based on calendar quarters) on the lowest balance in the Account during each

                                -3-

quarter at such rate and in such manner as determined from time to time by the

Committee.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, interest to be

credited hereunder shall be credited at the prime rate in effect according to

the Wall Street Journal on the last day of each calendar quarter plus one

percent.  Interest for a calendar quarter shall be credited to the Account as of

the first day of the following quarter.

     7.  Forefeiture of Accounts.  If as of the date of a Participant's

termination of employment the Participant has not achieved three Years of

Service (as defined in and determined under the Savings and Investment Pension

Plan), the Participant shall forfeit his or her Account relating to any Unvested

Excess Core Contribution(s), including any interest credited to such Account.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant shall not forfeit  his or

her Account relating to any Unvested Excess Core Contribtion(s) if the

Participant's termination of service is due to death, Disability (as defined in

the Savings and Investment Pension Plan) or Retirement (as defined in the

Savings and Investment Pension Plan).  Except as described above, a

Participant's Account(s) shall be nonforfeitable.

     8.  Payment of Accounts.  Unless forfeited pursuant to Section 7 of this

Article, the amount of a Participant's Account(s) attributable to Excess Core

Contribution(s) shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum or in a number

of approximately equal quarterly installments, not to exceed 40, as designated

by the Participant in the Election Agreement.  The amount of such Account(s)

remaining unpaid shall continue to bear interest, as provided in Section 6 of

this Article.  The lump sum payment or the first quarterly installment, as the

case may be, shall be made as soon as practicable following the end of the

period of deferral as specified in Section 5 of this Article.

                                -4-

     9.  Failure to Timely File Election.  If in the case of a Vested Excess

Core Contribution an Eligible Associate fails to timely file an Election

Agreement, the Company within a reasonable period of time after the close of

the Year for which the Vested Excess Core Contribution was made shall pay to the

Eligible Associate in a lump sum an amount equal to the Vested Excess Core

Contribution without interest.  If in the case of an Unvested Core Contribution

an Eligible Associate fails to file properly an Election Agreement, the Eligible

Associate nevertheless shall be deemed as if the Eligible Associate had timely

filed an Election Agreement electing a lump sum payment to be made within a

reasonable time after the Eligible Associate has achieved three Years of

Service.

     10.  Death of a Participant.  In the event of the death of a Participant,

the amount of the Participant's Account(s) shall be paid to the Beneficiary or

Beneficiaries designated in writing by the Participant (the "Beneficiary

Designation") in accordance with the Participant's Election Agreement and

Section 8 of this Article.  A Participant's Beneficiary Designation may be

changed at any time prior to his or her death by the execution and delivery of a

new Beneficiary Designation.  The Beneficiary Designation on file with the

Company that bears the latest date at the time of the Participant's death shall

govern.  In the absence of a Beneficiary Designation or the failure of any

Beneficiary to survive the Participant, the amount of the Participant's

Account(s) shall be paid to the Participant's estate in a lump sum 90 days after

the appointment of an executor or administrator.  In the event of the death of

the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries after the death of a Participant, the remaining

amount of the Account(s) shall be paid in a lump sum to the estate of the last

Beneficiary to receive payments 90 days after the appointment of an executor or

administrator.

                                -5-

     11.  Small Payments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if installment

payments elected by a Participant would result in a payment with a value of less

than $500, the entire amount of the Participant's Account(s) may at the

discretion of the Company be paid in a lump sum in accordance with Section 8 of

this Article.

     12.  Acceleration.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing, in the

event of an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in section 1.457-2(h)(4) and

(5) of the Income Tax Regulations, that is caused by an event beyond the control

of the Participant or Beneficiary and that would result in severe financial

hardship to the individual if acceleration were not permitted, the Committee may

in its sole discretion accelerate the payment to the Participant or Beneficiary

of the amount of his or her Account(s), but only up to the amount necessary to

meet the emergency.

MOHAWK INDUSTRIES,
INC.

1997 NON-EMPLOYEE
DIRECTOR STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

(Amended and
Restated as of March 31, 2003)

ARTICLE 1

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

                1.1           Background and Purpose. Mohawk Industries, Inc.
maintains the 1997 Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan (the "Plan")
to promote the long-term growth of Mohawk Industries, Inc. by providing a
vehicle for Non-Employee Directors to increase their proprietary interest in
the Corporation and to attract and retain highly qualified and capable Non-Employee
Directors. The Plan was amended and restated as of October 23, 1997 in order to
add a feature whereby Non-Employee Directors may elect to defer their Annual
Retainer into a phantom stock account the performance and value of which shall
be measured by reference to the performance of the Corporation 's common stock
from time to time. The deferred compensation feature of the Plan became
effective for Annual Retainer payable in 1998 or thereafter. The Plan was
further amended and restated as of March 31, 2003 to change the timing of the
grant of Shares to annual rather than quarterly grants, so as to facilitate
Participants ' compliance with the filing requirements under Section 16(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

                1.2           Status of Plan. Article 7 of the Plan is intended
to be a nonqualified, unfunded plan of deferred compensation under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

administered by the Committee.

                3.2           Authority of Committee. The Committee shall have
full power and authority to: (i) interpret and construe the Plan and adopt such
rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary and advisable to implement and
administer the Plan, and (ii) designate persons other than members of the
Committee or the Board to carry out its responsibilities, subject to such
limitations, restrictions and conditions as it may prescribe, such
determinations to be made in accordance with the Committee 's best business
judgment as to the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders and
in accordance with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may delegate
administrative duties under the Plan to one or more agents as it shall deem
necessary or advisable, such agents to be referred to herein as the Plan
Administrator.

                3.3           Effect of Committee Determinations. No member of
the Committee or the Board or the Plan Administrator shall be personally liable
for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or

and binding upon all persons.

ARTICLE 4

ELIGIBILITY

                4.1           Eligibility. All active Non-Employee Directors of
the Corporation shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

ARTICLE 5

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

                5.1           Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to adjustment
as provided in the Plan, the maximum number of Shares which may be granted
under Article 6 or distributed pursuant to Article 7 under the Plan is 37,500
(post-split) Shares. The Shares distributable under the Plan must be previously
issued and repurchased Shares and may not be original issue Shares.

ARTICLE 6

ELECTIVE RECEIPT OF SHARES

                Each Non-Employee Director shall
be granted Shares subject to the following terms and conditions:  

                6.1           Election to Receive Shares. On the first Business
Day of January following each annual meeting of shareholders of the
Corporation, Shares shall be granted to each Non-Employee Director who either
(i) on or before the Election Date for the then-current Service Year, filed
with the Plan Administrator a written irrevocable Shares Election Form,
indicating such Non-Employee Director 's election to receive Shares in lieu of all
(but not less than all) of his or her Annual Retainer payable with respect to
such Service Year, or (ii) filed a Shares Election Form for any prior Service
Year and did not file a Cash Election Form (as described in Section 6.2 below)
with respect to the current Service Year.

                6.2           Subsequent Elections to Receive Cash. Once a
Non-Employee Director files a Shares Election Form or a Deferral Election Form
for any Service Year, that election will carry forward into subsequent Service
Years unless, on or before the Election Date for any subsequent Service Year,
the Non-Employee Director files a Cash Election Form for such subsequent
Service Year. A Cash Election Form shall be valid for one Service Year only. A
new Cash Election Form will be required to be filed for any Service Year in
which the Non-Employee Director desires to receive his or her Annual Retainer
in cash. Once a Non-Employee Director files a Shares Election Form or a
Deferral Election Form for any Service Year, then thereafter for any Service
Year for which a Cash Election Form is not timely filed, the election will
automatically revert to the last-filed Shares Election Form or Deferral
Election Form, as the case may be.

                6.3           Number of Shares. The payment of the Annual
Retainer in the form of Shares shall be paid approximately mid-way through the
Service Year (January), but based on the quarterly price points during the
preceding calendar year. Therefore, the number of Shares to be granted in
January of each year pursuant to this Article 6 shall be the sum of A, B, C and
D below:  

A = (i) one quarter (1⁄4) of the Annual Retainer for the
applicable Service Year, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share
as of January 1 of the immediately prior calendar year (whether or not the
director was in office on such prior January 1).

B
= (i) one quarter (1⁄4) of the Annual Retainer for the applicable Service
Year, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share as of April 1 of the
immediately prior calendar year (whether or not the director was in office on
such prior April 1).

C
= (i) one quarter (1⁄4) of the Annual Retainer for the applicable Service Year,
divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share as of July 1 of the immediately
prior calendar year.

D
= (i) one quarter (1⁄4) of the Annual Retainer for the applicable Service Year,
divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share as of October 1 of the
immediately prior calendar year.

                Notwithstanding the above, for
the grant date in January 2004, the number of Shares to be granted shall be the
number of whole Shares equal to the sum of B, C and D above, so as not to
duplicate Share grants made prior to the 2003 amendment of the Plan.

                In determining the number of
Shares to be granted, any fraction of a share will be disregarded and the remaining
amount of the Annual Retainer shall be paid in cash.

ARTICLE 7

ELECTION TO DEFER ANNUAL RETAINER

                7.1           Election to Defer. A Non-Employee Director may
elect to defer his or her Annual Retainer under the Plan by delivering a
properly completed and signed Deferral Election Form to the Plan Administrator
on or before the Election Date. The Non-Employee Director 's deferral will be
effective as of the first day of the Service Year beginning after the Plan
Administrator receives the Non-Employee Director 's Deferral Election Form, or,
in the case of a newly eligible Participant, on the first day of the calendar
month beginning after the Plan Administrator receives such Non-Employee
Director 's Deferral Election Form.

                7.2           Termination or Continuation of Deferral Election Form.

(a)           Voluntary Termination. A
Participant may terminate his or her Deferral Election Form at any time. Such
termination will be effective on the first day of the Service year after the
Participant notifies the Plan Administrator of the Participant 's termination
of the Deferral Election Form. Any Annual Retainer deferred prior to the
termination of the Deferral Election Form shall remain deferred in accordance
with the original Deferral Election Form and the Plan. The Participant may
deliver a new Deferral Election Form and thereby defer the receipt of any
future Annual Retainer, effective as of the first day of the following Service
Year or the first day of any subsequent Service Year.

(b)           Continuation of Deferral Election
Form. If the Participant fails to terminate an effective Deferral Election
Form prior to the Election Date preceding the next Service Year, the
Participant 's Deferral Election Form in effect during the previous Service
Year shall continue in effect during the new Service Year.

(c)           Automatic Termination of Deferral
Election Form. A Participant 's Deferral Election Form will automatically
terminate at the earlier of (i) the Participant 's Termination of Service, or
(ii) the termination of the Plan.

                7.3           Stock Account. For bookkeeping purposes, the Annual
Retainer which a Non-Employee Director elects to defer pursuant to the Plan
shall be transferred to and held in an individual Stock Account in the name of
such Participant. Amounts to be deferred shall be credited to the Participant 's
Stock Account as of the date such Annual Retainer is otherwise payable. Amounts
deferred into a Stock Account are recorded as units of Phantom Stock, and
fractions thereof, with one unit equating to a single share of Common Stock. Thus,
the value of one unit of Phantom Stock shall equal the Fair Market Value of a
single share of Common Stock. The use of units is merely a bookkeeping
convenience; the units are not actual shares of Common Stock. As described
below in Section 7.5, a Participant may elect to have some or all of the value
of his or her Stock Account distributed in actual shares of Common Stock. The
maximum number of Phantom Stock units that may be allocated by deferral of
Annual Retainer to Stock Accounts under the Plan is 25,000. To the extent
required for bookkeeping purposes, a Participant 's Stock Account will be
subdivided to reflect deferred Annual Retainer on a year-by-year basis. For
example, a 1998 Stock Sub-Account, a 1999 Stock Sub-Account, and so on.

                7.4           Credits to the Stock Account.

(a)           Initial Crediting of Stock Account.
If a Participant elects to defer Annual Retainer into his or her Stock Account,
such account shall be credited, as of the date described in Section 7.1, with
that number of units of Phantom Stock, and fractions thereof, obtained by
dividing the dollar amount to be deferred into the Stock Account by the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock as of such date.

(b)           Dividend Equivalents. Effective
as of the payment date for each cash dividend on the Common Stock, the Stock
Account of each Participant who had a balance in his or her Stock Account on
the record date for such dividend shall be credited with a number of units of
Phantom Stock, and fractions thereof, obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate
dollar amount of such cash dividend payable in respect of such Participant 's
Stock Account (determined by multiplying the dollar value of the dividend paid
upon a single share of Common Stock by the number of units of Phantom Stock
credited to the Participant 's Stock Account on the record date for such
dividend); by (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the business
day immediately preceding the payment date for such cash dividend.

(c)           Stock Dividends. Effective as
of the payment date for each stock dividend on the Common Stock, additional
units of Phantom Stock shall be credited to the Stock Account of each
Participant who had a balance in his or her Stock Account on the record date
for such dividend. The number of units that shall be credited to the Stock
Account of such a Participant shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock,
and fractions thereof, which the Participant would have received as stock
dividends had he or she been the owner on the record date for such stock dividend
of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of units credited
to his or her Stock Account on such record date.

(d)           Allocation of Dividends. To
the extent required for bookkeeping purposes, the allocation of additional
units of Phantom Stock attributable to cash dividends or stock dividends will
be made to the Stock Sub-Account holding existing units to which the cash
dividend or stock dividend relates. For example, a Participant 's 1998 Stock
Sub-Account will be credited with dividends attributable to units held in the
1998 Stock Sub-Account. A Participant 's 1999Stock Sub-Account will be credited
with dividends attributable to units held in the 1999 Stock Sub-Account, and so
on.

(e)           Recapitalization. If, as a
result of a recapitalization of the Corporation, the outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be changed into a greater number or smaller number of
shares, the number of units of Phantom Stock credited to a Participant 's Stock
Account shall be appropriately adjusted on the same basis.

                7.5          
 Distributions.

(a)           Distributions. Distributions
from the Stock Account shall be made either in cash or shares of Common Stock,
as indicated by the Participant at least six months prior to the scheduled
distribution. Any fractional units shall be paid in cash. The number of units
to be distributed from a Participant 's Stock Account shall be valued by
multiplying the number of such units of Phantom Stock by the Fair Market Value
of the Common Stock as of the business day immediately preceding the date such
distribution is to occur. The shares of Common Stock distributable to
Non-Employee Directors under the Plan must be previously issued and repurchased
shares and may not be original issue shares.

(b)           Timing. Distributions from a
Participant 's Stock Account shall commence on the date the Participant selects
on the initial Deferral Election Form. Any date selected by the Participant
must be at least two calendar years following the date of the initial Deferral
Election Form and will apply to all amounts (including future deferrals) held
in the Stock Account. In no event, however, shall a Participant 's Account
commence to be distributed later than the first regular business day of the
fourth month following the Participant 's death. If the Participant fails to
designate a payment commencement date in the Participant 's initial Deferral
Election Form or within six months of such initial Deferral Election Form, the
Participant 's Stock Account shall commence to be distributed no later than the
first regular business day of the fourth month following the Participant 's
Termination of Service.

(c)           Optional Forms of Payment. Distributions
from Participant Stock Accounts (either in cash or in Common Stock) may be paid
to the Participant either in a lump sum or in a number of approximately equal
annual installments designated by the Participant on the Participant 's initial
Deferral Election Form. Such annual installments may be for 5 years, 10 years
or 15 years. The method of payment (e.g., in lump sum or installments) elected
on the Participant 's initial Deferral Election Form will apply to all amounts
(including future deferrals)held in the Stock Account. If a Participant elects
to receive a distribution of his or her Stock Account in cash installments, the
Plan Administrator may purchase an annuity from an insurance company which
annuity will pay the Participant the desired annual installments. If the Plan
Administrator purchases an annuity contract, the Non-Employee Director will
have no further rights to receive payments from the Corporation or the Plan
with respect to the amounts subject to the annuity. If the Plan Administrator
does not purchase an annuity contract, the value of the Stock Account remaining
unpaid shall continue to receive allocations of dividends as provided in
Section 7.4. If the Participant fails to designate a payment method in his or
her initial Deferral Election Form or within six months of such initial
Deferral Election Form, the Participant 's Stock Account shall be distributed
in a lump sum.

(d)           Irrevocable Elections. The
payment commencement date and payment form elected or deemed elected on the
Participant 's initial Deferral Election Form shall become irrevocable and may
not be modified six months after the execution of such initial Deferral
Election Form. A Participant 's election of payment commencement date and
payment form shall be uniform for all years ' Annual Retainer deferred under
the Plan.

(e)           Acceleration of Payment. If a
Participant elects an installment distribution and the value of such annual
installment payment elected by the Participant would result in a combined
distribution of cash and Common Stock(valued at its Fair Market Value on the
initial commencement date) of less than $3,000, the Plan Administrator shall
accelerate payment of the Participant 's benefits over a lesser number of whole
years (but in increments of 5 or 10years) so that the annual amount distributed
is at least $3,000. If payment of the Participant 's benefits over a 5 year
period will not provide annual distributions of at least $3,000, the
Participant 's Stock Account shall be paid in a lump sum.

(f)            Payment to Beneficiary. Upon
the Participant 's death, all unpaid amounts held in the Participant 's Stock
Account shall be paid to the Participant 's Beneficiary in the same benefit
payment form the Participant elected on the Deferral Election Form and in
accordance with the payment distribution rules set forth in the Plan. Such
payment will be commence to be paid on the first business day of the fourth
month following the Participant 's death.

(g)           Payment to Minors and
Incapacitated Persons. In the event that any amount is payable to a minor
or to any person who, in the judgment of the Plan Administrator, is incapable
of making proper disposition thereof, such payment shall be made for the
benefit of such minor or such person in any of the following ways as the Plan
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine:

(i)            By payment to the legal
representative of such minor or such person;

(ii)           By payment directly to such minor or
such person;

(iii)          By payment in discharge of bills
incurred by or for the benefit of such minor or such person. The Plan
Administrator shall make such payments without the necessary intervention of
any guardian or like fiduciary, and without any obligation to require bond or
to see to the further application of such payment. Any payment so made shall be
in complete discharge of the Plan 's obligation to the Participant and his or
her Beneficiaries.

                7.6           Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other
provisions in the Plan, in the event there is a Change of Control, (i) any
Participant whose service is terminated on account of such Change of Control
shall receive an immediate lump sum payment of the Participant 's Stock Account
balance, and (ii) any Participant who has commenced receiving installment
distributions from the Plan (other than from an annuity contract purchased from
an insurance company) shall immediately receive a lump sum payment in an amount
equal to the unpaid balance of the Participant 's Stock Account. A Participant 's
service shall be considered to have "terminated on account of such Change
of Control" only if the Participant 's service on the Board is terminated
without cause during the 24-month period following the Change of Control.

                7.7           Financial Hardship. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, accelerate the making of payment to a Participant of an amount
reasonably necessary to handle a severe financial hardship of a sudden and unexpected
nature due to causes not within the control of the Participant. Such payment
may be made even if the Participant has not incurred a Termination of Service.
All financial hardship distributions shall be made in cash in a lump sum. Such
payments will be made on a first-in, first-out basis so that the oldest Annual
Retainer deferred under the Plan shall be deemed distributed first in a
financial hardship.

                7.8           Application for Benefits. The Plan Administrator
may require a Participant or Beneficiary to complete and file certain forms as
a condition precedent to receiving the payment of benefits. The Plan
Administrator may rely upon all such information given to it, including the
Participant 's current mailing address. It is the responsibility of all persons
interested in receiving a distribution pursuant to the Plan to keep the Plan
Administrator informed of their current mailing addresses.

                7.9           Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant from
time to time may designate any person or persons (who may be designated
contingently or successively and who may be an entity other than a natural
person) as his or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom the Participant 's
Stock Account is to be paid if the Participant dies before receipt of all such
benefits. Each Beneficiary designation shall be on the form prescribed by the
Plan Administrator and will be effective only when filed with the Plan
Administrator during the Participant 's lifetime. Each Beneficiary designation
filed with the Plan Administrator will cancel all Beneficiary designations
previously filed with the Plan Administrator. The revocation of a Beneficiary
designation, no matter how effected, shall not require the consent of any
designated Beneficiary.

                7.10         Responsibility for Investment Choices. Each
Participant is solely responsible for any decision to defer Annual Retainer
into his or her Stock Account and accepts all investment risks entailed by such
decision, including the risk of loss and a decrease in the value of the amounts
he or she elects to defer into his or her Stock Account.

                7.11         Funding. Deferred benefits under this Article 7 shall
be paid from the general assets of the Corporation or as otherwise directed by
the Corporation. To the extent that any Participant acquires the right to
receive payments under the Plan (from whatever source), such right shall be no
greater than that of an unsecured general creditor of the Corporation. Participants
and their Beneficiaries shall not have any preference or security interest in
the assets of the Corporation other than as a general unsecured creditor.

ARTICLE 8

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

                8.1           Amendment, Suspension or Termination. The Board may
amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, at any time and from time to time,
without notice, to any extent deemed advisable; provided, however, that (i),
the Board may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of
stockholders of the Corporation if such approval is necessary or deemed
advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or
regulations, and (ii) no such amendment or termination shall (without the
written consent of the Participant, if living, and if not, the Participant 's
Beneficiary) adversely affect any benefit under the Plan which has accrued with
respect to the Participant or Beneficiary as of the date of such amendment or
termination regardless of whether such benefit is in pay status.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

                9.1           Right to Service. Except as provided in the Plan,

creditor of such Participant or Beneficiary, and none of them shall have any
right to alienate, commute, anticipate or assign any of the benefits, payments,
proceeds or distributions under the Plan except to the extent expressly
provided herein to the contrary.

                9.7           Merger. The Plan shall not be automatically
terminated by the Corporation 's acquisition by, merger into, or sale of
substantially all of its assets to any other organization, but the Plan shall
be continued thereafter by such successor organization. All rights to amend,
modify, suspend or terminate the Plan shall be transferred to the successor
organization, effective as of the date of the combination or sale.
