            Participating Company, such Employee was eligible to participate in
            a Predecessor Plan or any other qualified defined contribution plan
            sponsored by the Employee's Participating Company and he is an
            Employee of such Participating Company immediately before its
            adoption of this Plan."

                                       4.

            Any other provisions of the Plan not amended herein shall remain in
