        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    the
      form of an annuity, the first day on which all
      events have occurred which entitles the Participant to such
      benefit.

    
 

    1.7 "Beneficiary"
      means the person (or entity) to whom the share of a deceased Participant's
      total
      account is payable, subject to the restrictions of Sections 6.2 and
      6.6.

    

    1.8 "Code"
      means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or replaced from time to
      time.

    

    1.9 "Compensation"
      with respect to any Participant means such Participant's wages as defined in
      Code Section 3401(a) and all other payments of compensation by the Employer
      (in
      the course of the Employer's trade or business) for a Plan Year for which the
      Employer is required to furnish the Participant a written statement under Code
      Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052. Compensation must be determined without
      regard to any rules under Code Section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration
      included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the
      services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code Section
      3401(a)(2)).

    

    For
      purposes of this Section, the determination of Compensation shall be made
      by:

    

    (a) including
      amounts which are contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction
      agreement and which are not includible in the gross income of the Participant
      under Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 403(b) or 457(b),
      and Employee contributions described in Code Section 414(h)(2) that are treated
      as Employer contributions.

    

    For
      a
      Participant's initial year of participation, Compensation shall be recognized
      for the entire Plan Year.

    

    Compensation
      in excess of $150,000 (or such other amount provided in the Code) shall be
      disregarded for all purposes other than for purposes of salary deferral
      elections pursuant to Section 4.2. Such amount shall be adjusted for
      increases in the cost of living in accordance with Code
      Section 401(a)(17)(B), except that the dollar increase in effect on
      January 1 of any calendar year shall be effective for the Plan Year
      beginning with or within such calendar year. For any short Plan Year the
      Compensation limit shall be an amount equal to the Compensation limit for the
      calendar year in which the Plan Year begins multiplied by the ratio obtained
      by
      dividing the number of full months in the short Plan Year by twelve
      (12).

    

    If
      any
      class of Employees is excluded from the Plan, then Compensation for any Employee
      who becomes eligible or ceases to be eligible to participate during a Plan
      Year
      shall only include Compensation while the Employee is an Eligible
      Employee.

    

    1.10 "Contract"
      or "Policy" means any life insurance policy, retirement income policy or annuity
      contract (group or individual) issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan. In
      the

      contract purchased hereunder, the Plan provisions shall control.

    

    1.11 "Deferred
      Compensation" with respect to any Participant means the amount of the
      Participant's total Compensation which has been contributed to the Plan in
      accordance with the 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Participant's
      deferral election pursuant to Section 4.2 excluding any such amounts distributed
      as excess "annual additions" pursuant to Section
      4.10(a).

     

    1.12 "Designated

      means Weingarten Realty Investors and any successor which shall maintain this
      Plan; and any predecessor which has maintained this Plan. The Employer is a

      Aggregate Contributions" means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of
      the
      aggregate amount of the Employer matching contributions made pursuant to Section
      4.1(b) and any qualified non-elective contributions or elective deferrals taken

    Regardless
      of the preceding provisions, if a Former Participant is eligible to share in
      the
      allocation of Employer contributions or Forfeitures in the year in which the
      Forfeiture would otherwise occur, then the Forfeiture will not occur until
      the
      end of the first Plan Year for which the Former Participant is not eligible
      to
      share in the allocation of Employer contributions or Forfeitures. Furthermore,
      the term "Forfeiture" shall also include amounts deemed to be Forfeitures
      pursuant to any other provision of this Plan.

      that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location
      of
      the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural
      labor in Code Section 3401(a)(2)).

    

    For
      purposes of this Section, the determination of "415 Compensation" shall include
      any elective deferral (as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3)), and any amount

      Compensation" means any definition of compensation that satisfies the
      nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 414(s) and the Regulations
      thereunder. The period for determining 414(s) Compensation must be either the
      Plan Year or the calendar year ending with or within the Plan Year. An Employer
      may further limit the period taken into account to that part of the Plan Year
      or
      calendar year in which an Employee was a Participant in the component of the
      Plan being tested. The period used to determine 414(s) Compensation must be
      applied uniformly to all Participants for the Plan Year.

    

    1.28 "Highly
      Compensated Employee" means an Employee described in Code Section 414(q)
      and the Regulations thereunder, and generally means any Employee
      who:

    (b) for
      the

      Code Section 415(d), except that the base period is the calendar quarter ending
      September 30, 1996.

    

    The
      "determination year" means the Plan Year for which testing is being performed,
      and the "look-back year" means the immediately preceding twelve (12) month
      period.

    

    A
      highly
      compensated former Employee is based on the rules applicable to determining
      Highly Compensated Employee status as in effect for the "determination year,"
      in
      accordance with Regulation 1.414(q)-1T, A-4 and IRS Notice 97-45 (or any
      superseding guidance).

    

    In
      determining who is a Highly Compensated Employee, Employees who are non-resident
      aliens and who received no earned income (within the meaning of Code
      Section 911(d)(2)) from the Employer constituting United States source
      income within the meaning of Code Section 861(a)(3) shall not be treated as
      Employees. Additionally, all Affiliated Employers shall be taken into account
      as
      a single employer and Leased Employees within the meaning of Code
      Sections 414(n)(2) and 414(o)(2) shall be considered Employees unless such
      Leased Employees are covered by a plan described in Code Section 414(n)(5)
      and are not covered in any qualified plan maintained by the Employer. The
      exclusion of Leased Employees for this purpose shall be applied on a uniform
      and
      consistent basis for all of the Employer's retirement plans. Highly Compensated
      Former Employees shall be treated as Highly Compensated Employees without regard
      to whether they performed services during the "determination year."

    

    1.29 "Highly
      Compensated Participant" means any Highly Compensated Employee who is eligible
      to participate in the component of the Plan being tested.

    

    1.30 "Hour

      benefit accrual, (1) each hour for which an Employee is directly or
      indirectly compensated or entitled to compensation by the Employer for the
      performance of duties (these hours will be credited to the Employee for the
      computation period in which the duties are performed); (2) each

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    hour
      for which an Employee is directly or indirectly
      compensated or entitled to compensation by the Employer (irrespective of whether
      the employment relationship has terminated) for reasons other than performance
      of duties (such as vacation, holidays, sickness, jury duty, disability, lay-off,
      military duty or leave of absence) during the applicable computation period
      (these hours will be calculated and credited pursuant to Department of Labor
      regulation 2530.200b-2 which is incorporated herein by reference); (3) each
      hour for which back pay is awarded or agreed to by the Employer without regard
      to mitigation of damages (these hours will be credited to the Employee for
      the
      computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather
      than the computation period in which the award, agreement or payment is made).
      The same Hours of Service shall not be credited both under (1) or (2), as
      the case may be, and under (3).

     

    Notwithstanding
      (2) above, (i) no more than 501 Hours of Service are required to be
      credited to an Employee on account of any single continuous period during which
      the Employee performs no duties (whether or not such period occurs in a single
      computation period); (ii) an hour for which an Employee is directly or
      indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period during which
      no
      duties are performed is not required to be credited to the Employee if such
      payment is made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of
      complying with applicable worker's compensation, or unemployment compensation
      or
      disability insurance laws; and (iii) Hours of Service are not required to
      be credited for a payment which solely reimburses an Employee for medical or
      medically related expenses incurred by the Employee.

    

    For
      purposes of (2) above, a payment shall be deemed to be made by or due from
      the
      Employer regardless of whether such payment is made by or due from the Employer
      directly, or indirectly through, among others, a trust fund, or insurer, to
      which the Employer contributes or pays premiums and regardless of whether
      contributions made or due to the trust fund, insurer, or other entity are for
      the benefit of particular Employees or are on behalf of a group of Employees
      in
      the aggregate.

    

    For
      purposes of this Section, Hours of Service will be credited for employment
      with
      other Affiliated Employers. The provisions of Department of Labor regulations
      2530.200b-2(b) and (c) are incorporated herein by reference.

    

    1.31 "Income"
      means the income or losses allocable to "excess amounts" which shall equal
      the
      allocable gain or loss for the "applicable computation period". The income
      allocable to "excess amounts" for the "applicable computation period" is
      determined by multiplying the income for the "applicable computation period"
      by
      a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the "excess amount" for the
      "applicable computation period." The denominator of the fraction is the total
      "account balance" attributable to "Employer contributions" as of the end of
      the
      "applicable computation period", reduced by the gain allocable to such total
      amount for the "applicable computation period" and increased by the loss
      allocable to such total amount for the "applicable computation period". The
      provisions of this Section shall be applied:

    

    (a) For
      purposes of Section 4.2(f), by substituting:

    

    (1) "Excess
      Deferred Compensation" for "excess amounts";

    

    (2) "taxable
      year of the Participant" for "applicable computation period";

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (3) "Deferred
      Compensation" for "Employer contributions"; and

    

    (4) "Participant's
      Elective Account" for "account balance."

    

    (b) For
      purposes of Section 4.6(a), by substituting:

    

    (1) "Excess
      Contributions" for "excess amounts";

    

    (2) "Plan
      Year" for "applicable computation period";

    

    (3) "Elective
      Contributions" for "Employer contributions"; and

    

    (4) "Participant's
      Elective Account" for "account balance."

    

    (c) For
      purposes of Section 4.8(a), by substituting:

    

    

    (1) "Excess
      Aggregate Contributions" for "excess amounts";

    

    (2) "Plan
      Year" for "applicable computation period";

    

    (3) "Employer
      matching contributions made pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and any qualified
      non-elective contributions or elective deferrals taken into account pursuant
      to
      Section 4.7(c)" for "Employer contributions"; and

    

    (4) "Participant's
      Account" for "account balance."

    

    Income
      allocable to any distribution of Excess Deferred Compensation on or before
      the
      last day of the taxable year of the Participant shall be calculated from the
      first day of the taxable year of the Participant to the date on which the
      distribution is made pursuant to either the "fractional method" or the "safe
      harbor method." Under such "safe harbor method," allocable Income for such
      period shall be deemed to equal ten percent (10%) of the Income allocable to
      such Excess Deferred Compensation multiplied by the number of calendar months
      in
      such period. For purposes of determining the number of calendar months in such
      period, a distribution occurring on or before the fifteenth day of the month
      shall be treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding month
      and
      a distribution occurring after such fifteenth day shall be treated as having
      been made on the first day of the next subsequent month.

    

    1.32 "Investment
      Manager" means an entity that (a) has the power to manage, acquire, or
      dispose of Plan assets and (b) acknowledges fiduciary responsibility to the

      or
      an insurance company.

    

    1.33 "Key
      Employee" means an Employee as defined in Code Section 416(i) and the
      Regulations thereunder. Generally, any Employee or former Employee (as well
      as
      each of the Employee's or former Employee's Beneficiaries) is considered a
      Key
      Employee if the Employee, at any time during the Plan Year that contains the
      "Determination Date" or any of the preceding four (4) Plan Years, has been
      included in one of the following categories:

    (c) a
      "five
      percent owner" of the Employer. "Five percent owner" means any person who owns

      of
      the Employer or, in the case of an unincorporated business, any person who
      owns
      more than five percent (5%) of the capital or profits interest in the Employer.
      In determining percentage ownership hereunder, employers that would otherwise
      be
      aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) shall be
      treated as separate employers.

    

    (d) a

      (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) more
      than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of the Employer or stock
      possessing more than one percent (1%) of the total combined voting power of
      all
      stock of the Employer or, in the case of an unincorporated business, any person
      who owns more than one percent (1%) of the capital or profits interest in the
      Employer. In determining percentage ownership hereunder, employers that would
      otherwise be aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o)
      shall be treated as separate employers. However, in determining whether an
      individual has "415 Compensation" of more than $150,000, "415 Compensation"
      from
      each employer required to be aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), (c),
      (m) and (o) shall be taken into account.

    

    For
      purposes of this Section, the determination of "415 Compensation" shall be
      made
      by including amounts which are contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary
      reduction agreement and which are not includible in the gross income of the
      Participant under Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B),
      403(b) or 457(b), and Employee contributions described in Code

      Section 414(n)(6)) on a substantially full time basis for a period of at
      least one year, and such services are performed under primary

    direction
      or control by the recipient Employer.
      Contributions or benefits provided a Leased Employee by the leasing organization
      which are attributable to services performed for the recipient Employer shall
      be
      treated as provided by the recipient Employer. Furthermore, Compensation for
      a
      Leased Employee shall only include Compensation from the leasing organization
      that is attributable to services performed for the recipient Employer. A Leased
      Employee shall not be considered an Employee of the recipient
      Employer:

    
 

    (a) if
      such
      employee is covered by a money purchase pension plan providing:

    

    (1) a
      nonintegrated employer contribution rate of at least 10% of compensation, as
      defined in Code Section 415(c)(3);

    

    (2) immediate
      participation;

    

    (3) full
      and
      immediate vesting; and

      Leased
      Employees do not constitute more than 20% of the recipient Employer's nonhighly
      compensated work force.

    

    1.36 "Non-Elective

      Deferral Percentage" tests.

    

    1.37 "Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant" means any Participant who is not a Highly Compensated
      Employee. However, for purposes of Section 4.5(a) and Section 4.6, if the

    1.41 "1-Year
      Break in Service" means, for purposes of eligibility for participation and
      vesting, the applicable computation period during which an Employee has not
      completed more than 500 Hours of Service with the Employer. Further, solely
      for
      the purpose of determining whether a Participant has incurred a 1-Year Break
      in
      Service, Hours of Service shall be recognized for "authorized leaves of absence"
      and "maternity and paternity leaves of absence." Years of Service and 1-Year
      Breaks in Service shall be measured on the same computation period.

      period by reason of the Employee's pregnancy, birth of the Employee's child,
      placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such
      child, or any absence for the purpose of caring for such child for a period
      immediately following such birth or placement. For this purpose, Hours of
      Service shall be credited for the computation period in which the absence from
      work begins, only if credit therefore is necessary to prevent the Employee
      from
      incurring a 1-Year Break in Service, or, in any other case, in the immediately
      following computation period. The Hours of Service credited for a "maternity
      or
      paternity leave of absence" shall be those which would normally have been
      credited but for such absence, or, in any case in which the Administrator is
      unable to determine such hours normally credited, eight (8) Hours of Service
      per
      day. The total Hours of Service required to be credited for a "maternity or
      paternity leave of absence" shall not exceed the number of Hours of Service
      needed to prevent the Employee from incurring a 1-Year Break in
      Service.

    ARTICLE
      II

    ADMINISTRATION

    

    2.1    POWERS
      AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER

    

    

    (a) In
      addition to the general powers and responsibilities otherwise provided for
      in
      this Plan, the Employer shall be empowered to appoint and remove the Trustee
      and
      the Administrator from time to time as it deems necessary for the proper
      administration of the Plan to ensure that the Plan is being operated for the
      exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries in accordance
      with
      the terms of the Plan, the Code, and the Act. The Employer may appoint counsel,
      specialists, advisers, agents (including any nonfiduciary agent) and other
      persons as the Employer deems necessary or desirable in connection with the
      exercise of its fiduciary duties under this Plan. The Employer may compensate
      

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    such
      agents or advisers from the assets of the Plan as
      fiduciary expenses (but not including any business (settlor) expenses of the
      Employer), to the extent not paid by the Employer.

     

    (b) The
      Employer may, by written agreement or designation, appoint at its option an
      Investment Manager (qualified under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
      amended), investment adviser, or other agent to provide direction to the Trustee
      with respect to any or all of the Plan assets. Such appointment shall be given
      by the Employer in writing in a form acceptable to the Trustee and shall
      specifically identify the Plan assets with respect to which the Investment
      Manager or other agent shall have authority to direct the
      investment.

    

    (c) The
      Employer shall establish a "funding policy and method," i.e., it shall determine
      whether the Plan has a short run need for liquidity (e.g., to pay benefits)
      or
      whether liquidity is a long run goal and investment growth (and stability of
      same) is a more current need, or shall appoint a qualified person to do so.
      The
      Employer or its delegate shall communicate such needs and goals to the Trustee,
      who shall coordinate such Plan needs with its investment policy. The
      communication of such a "funding policy and method" shall not, however,
      constitute a directive to the Trustee as to the investment of the Trust Funds.
      Such "funding policy and method" shall be consistent with the objectives of
      this
      Plan and with the requirements of Title I of the Act.

    

    (d) The
      Employer shall periodically review the performance of any Fiduciary or other
      person to whom duties have been delegated or allocated by it under the
      provisions of this Plan or pursuant to procedures established hereunder. This
      requirement may be satisfied by formal periodic review by the Employer or by
      a
      qualified person specifically designated by the Employer, through day-to-day
      conduct and evaluation, or through other appropriate ways.

    

    2.2    DESIGNATION
      OF ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY

    The
      Employer shall appoint one or more Administrators. Any person, including, but
      not limited to, the Employees of the Employer, shall be eligible to serve as
      an
      Administrator. Any person so appointed shall signify acceptance by filing
      written acceptance with the Employer. An Administrator may resign by delivering
      a written resignation to the Employer or be removed by the Employer by delivery
      of written notice of removal, to take effect at a date specified therein, or
      upon delivery to the Administrator if no date is specified.

    

    The
      Employer, upon the resignation or removal of an Administrator, shall promptly
      designate a successor to this position. If the Employer does not appoint an
      Administrator, the Employer will function as the Administrator.

    

    2.3    ALLOCATION
      AND DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITIES

     

    If
      more
      than one person is appointed as Administrator, the responsibilities of each
      Administrator may be specified by the Employer and accepted in writing by each
      Administrator. In the event that no such delegation is made by the Employer,
      the
      Administrators may allocate the responsibilities among themselves, in which
      event the Administrators shall notify the 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Employer
      and the Trustee in writing of such action and
      specify the responsibilities of each Administrator. The Trustee thereafter
      shall
      accept and rely upon any documents executed by the appropriate Administrator
      until such time as the Employer or the Administrators file with the Trustee
      a
      written revocation of such designation.

     

    2.4    POWERS
      AND DUTIES OF THE ADMINISTRATOR

      Section 401(a), and shall comply with the terms of the Act and all

      necessary or appropriate to accomplish the Administrator's duties under the
      Plan.

      compute and certify to the Employer and to the Trustee from time to time the
      sums of money necessary or desirable to be contributed to the Plan;

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (h) to
      consult with the Employer and the Trustee regarding the short and long-term
      liquidity needs of the Plan in order that the Trustee can exercise any
      investment discretion in a manner designed to accomplish specific
      objectives;

    

    (i) to
      prepare and implement a procedure for notifying Participants and Beneficiaries
      of their rights to elect joint and survivor annuities and Pre-Retirement
      Survivor Annuities as required by the Act and regulations
      thereunder;

    

    (j) to

    (k) to
      act as
      the named Fiduciary responsible for communications with Participants as needed
      to maintain Plan compliance with Act Section 404(c), including, but not limited
      to, the receipt and transmitting of Participant's directions as to the
      investment of their account(s) under the Plan and the formulation of policies,

      required by applicable law or Department of Labor regulation. In the event
      the
      claim is denied, the reasons for the denial shall be specifically set forth
      in
      the notice in language calculated to be understood by the claimant, pertinent
      provisions of the Plan shall be cited, and, where appropriate, an explanation
      as
      to how the claimant can perfect the claim will be provided. In addition, the
      claimant shall be furnished with an explanation of the Plan's claims review
      procedure.

    

    2.11    CLAIMS
      REVIEW PROCEDURE

    

    Any
      Employee, former Employee, or Beneficiary of either, who has been denied a
      benefit by a decision of the Administrator pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be
      entitled to request the Administrator to give further consideration to a claim
      by filing with the Administrator a written request for a hearing. Such request,
      together with a written statement of the reasons why the claimant believes
      the
      claim should be allowed, shall be filed with the Administrator no later than
      sixty (60) days after receipt of the written notification provided for in
      Section 2.10. The Administrator shall then conduct a hearing within the next
      sixty (60) days, at which the claimant may be represented by an attorney or
      any
      other representative of such claimant's choosing and expense and at which the
      claimant shall have an opportunity to submit written and oral evidence and
      arguments in support of the claim. At the hearing (or prior thereto upon five
      (5) business days written notice to the Administrator) the claimant or the
      claimant's representative shall have an opportunity to review all documents
      in
      the possession of the Administrator which are

    pertinent
      to the claim at issue and its disallowance.
      Either the claimant or the Administrator may cause a court reporter to attend
      the hearing and record the proceedings. In such event, a complete written
      transcript of the proceedings shall be furnished to both parties by the court
      reporter. The full expense of any such court reporter and such transcripts
      shall
      be borne by the party causing the court reporter to attend the hearing. A final
      decision as to the allowance of the claim shall be made by the Administrator
      within sixty (60) days of receipt of the appeal (unless there has been an
      extension of sixty (60) days due to special circumstances, provided the delay
      and the special circumstances occasioning it are communicated to the claimant
      within the sixty (60) day period). Such communication shall be written in a
      manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include specific
      reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan
      provisions on which the decision is based.

      III

    ELIGIBILITY

    

    

    

    3.1    CONDITIONS
      OF ELIGIBILITY

    

    

    Any
      Eligible Employee shall be eligible to participate hereunder on the date of
      such
      Employee's employment with the Employer. However, any Employee who was a
      Participant in the Plan prior to the effective date of this amendment and
      restatement shall continue to participate in the Plan.

    

    3.2    EFFECTIVE
      DATE OF PARTICIPATION

    

    

    An
      Eligible Employee shall become a Participant effective as of the date on which
      such Employee satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section
      3.1.

    

    If
      an
      Employee, who has satisfied the Plan's eligibility requirements and would
      otherwise have become a Participant, shall go from a classification of a
      noneligible Employee to an Eligible Employee, such Employee shall become a
      Participant on the date such Employee becomes an Eligible Employee or, if later,
      the date that the Employee would have otherwise entered the Plan had the
      Employee always been an Eligible Employee.

    

    If
      an
      Employee, who has satisfied the Plan's eligibility requirements and would
      otherwise become a Participant, shall go from a classification of an Eligible
      Employee to a noneligible class of Employees, such Employee shall become a
      Participant in the Plan on the date such Employee again becomes an Eligible
      Employee, or, if later, the date that the Employee would have otherwise entered
      the Plan had the Employee always been an Eligible Employee. However, if such
      Employee incurs a 1-Year Break in Service, eligibility will be determined under
      the Break in Service rules set forth in Section 3.7.

    

    3.3    DETERMINATION
      OF ELIGIBILITY

    

    

    The
      Administrator shall determine the eligibility of each Employee for participation
      in the Plan based upon information furnished by the Employer. Such determination
      shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons, as long as the same is made
      pursuant to the Plan and the Act. Such determination shall be subject to review
      pursuant to Section 2.11.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    3.4    TERMINATION
      OF ELIGIBILITY

    

    

    In
      the
      event a Participant shall go from a classification of an Eligible Employee
      to an
      ineligible Employee, such Former Participant shall continue to vest in the
      Plan
      for each Year of Service completed while a noneligible Employee, until such
      time
      as the Participant's Account is forfeited or distributed pursuant to the terms
      of the Plan. Additionally, the Former Participant's interest in the Plan shall
      continue to share in the earnings of the Trust Fund.

    

    3.5    OMISSION
      OF ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE

    

    

    If,
      in
      any Plan Year, any Employee who should be included as a Participant in the
      Plan
      is erroneously omitted and discovery of such omission is not made until after
      a
      contribution by the Employer for the year has been made and allocated, then
      the
      Employer shall make a subsequent contribution, if necessary after the
      application of Section 4.4(c), so that the omitted Employee receives a
      total amount which the Employee would have received (including both Employer
      contributions and earnings thereon) had the Employee not been omitted. Such
      contribution shall be made regardless of whether it is deductible in whole
      or in
      part in any taxable year under applicable provisions of the Code.

    

    3.6    INCLUSION
      OF INELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE

    

    

    If,
      in
      any Plan Year, any person who should not have been included as a Participant
      in
      the Plan is erroneously included and discovery of such inclusion is not made
      until after a contribution for the year has been made and allocated, the
      Employer shall be entitled to recover the contribution made with respect to
      the
      ineligible person provided the error is discovered within twelve (12) months
      of
      the date on which it was made. Otherwise, the amount contributed with respect
      to
      the ineligible person shall constitute a Forfeiture for the Plan Year in which
      the discovery is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Deferred Compensation
      made by an ineligible person shall be distributed to the person (along with
      any
      earnings attributable to such Deferred Compensation).

    

    3.7    REHIRED
      EMPLOYEES AND BREAKS IN SERVICE

    
 

    (a) If
      any
      Participant becomes a Former Participant due to severance from employment with
      the Employer and is reemployed by the Employer before a 1-Year Break in Service
      occurs, the Former Participant shall become a Participant as of the reemployment
      date.

    

    (b) If
      any
      Participant becomes a Former Participant due to severance from employment with
      the Employer and is reemployed after a 1-Year Break in Service has occurred,
      Years of Service shall include Years of Service prior to the 1-Year Break in
      Service subject to the following rules:

    

    (1) In
      the
      case of a Former Participant who under the Plan does not have a nonforfeitable
      right to any interest in the Plan resulting from Employer contributions,
Years
      of
      Service before a period of 1-Year Break in Service will not be taken into
      account if the number of consecutive 1-Year Breaks in Service equal or exceed
      the greater of (A) five (5) or (B) the aggregate number of pre-break
      Years of Service. Such aggregate number of Years of

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        19

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Service
      will not include any Years of Service
      disregarded under the preceding sentence by reason of prior 1-Year Breaks in
      Service.

    
 

    (2) A
      Former
      Participant shall
      participate in the Plan as of the date of reemployment.

    

    (c) After
      a
      Former Participant who has severed employment with the Employer incurs five
      (5)
      consecutive 1-Year Breaks in Service, the Vested portion of said Former
      Participant's Account attributable to pre-break service shall not be increased
      as a result of post-break service. In such case, separate accounts will be
      maintained as follows:

    

    (1) one
      account for nonforfeitable benefits attributable to pre-break service;
      and

    

    (2) one
      account representing the Participant's Employer derived account balance in
      the
      Plan attributable to post-break service.

    

    (d) If
      any
      Participant becomes a Former Participant due to severance of employment with
      the
      Employer and is reemployed by the Employer before five (5) consecutive 1-Year
      Breaks in Service, and such Former Participant had received a distribution
      of
      the entire Vested interest prior to reemployment, then the forfeited account
      shall be reinstated only if the Former Participant repays the full amount which
      had been distributed. Such repayment must be made before the earlier of five
      (5)
      years after the first date on which the Participant is subsequently reemployed
      by the Employer or the close of the first period of five (5) consecutive 1-Year
      Breaks in Service commencing after the distribution. If a distribution occurs
      for any reason other than a severance of employment, the time for repayment
      may
      not end earlier than five (5) years after the date of distribution. In the
      event
      the Former Participant does repay the full amount distributed, the undistributed
      forfeited portion of the Participant's Account must be restored in full,
      unadjusted by any gains or losses occurring subsequent to the Valuation Date
      preceding the distribution. The source for such reinstatement may be Forfeitures
      occurring during the Plan Year. If such source is insufficient, then the
      Employer will contribute an amount which is sufficient to restore any such
      forfeited Accounts provided, however, that if a discretionary contribution
      is
      made for such year pursuant to Section 4.1(d), such contribution will first
      be
      applied to restore any such Accounts and the remainder shall be allocated in
      accordance with Section 4.4.

    

    3.8    ELECTION
      NOT TO PARTICIPATE

    

    

    An
      Employee may, subject to the approval of the Employer, elect voluntarily not
      to
      participate in the Plan. The election not to participate must be irrevocable
      and
      communicated to the Employer, in writing, within a reasonable period of time
      before the beginning of the first Plan Year.

    CONTRIBUTION
      AND ALLOCATION

    

    

    

    4.1    FORMULA
      FOR DETERMINING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION

    

    

    For
      each
      Plan Year, the Employer shall contribute to the Plan:

    

    (a) The
      amount of the total salary reduction elections of all Participants made pursuant
      to Section 4.2(a), which amount shall be deemed an Employer Elective
      Contribution.

    

    (b) On
      behalf
      of each Participant who is eligible to share in matching contributions for
      the
      Plan Year, a discretionary matching contribution equal to a uniform percentage
      of each such Participant's Deferred Compensation, the exact percentage, if
      any,
      to be determined each year by the Employer, which amount, if any, shall be
      deemed an Employer Non-Elective Contribution.

    

    Except,
      however, in applying the matching percentage specified above, only salary
      reductions up to 6% of payroll period Compensation shall be
      considered.

    

    (c) On
      behalf
      of each Non-Highly Compensated Participant who is eligible to share in the
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution for the Plan Year, a discretionary Qualified
      Non-Elective Contribution equal to a uniform percentage of each eligible
      individual's Compensation, the exact percentage, if any, to be determined each
      year by the Employer. Any Employer Qualified Non-Elective Contribution shall
      be
      deemed an Employer Elective Contribution.

    

    (d) A
      discretionary amount, which amount, if any, shall be deemed an Employer
      Non-Elective Contribution.

    

    (e) Additionally,
      to the extent necessary, the Employer shall contribute to the Plan the amount
      necessary to provide the top heavy minimum contribution. All contributions
      by
      the Employer shall be made in cash or in such property as is acceptable to
      the
      Trustee.

    

    4.2    PARTICIPANT'S
      SALARY REDUCTION ELECTION

    

    

    (a) Each
      Participant may elect to defer a portion of Compensation which would have been
      received in the Plan Year (except for the deferral election) by up to the
      maximum amount which will not cause the Plan to violate the provisions of
      Sections 4.5(a) and 4.9. A deferral election (or modification of an earlier
      election) may not be made with respect to Compensation which is currently
      available on or before the date the Participant executed such election. For
      purposes of this Section, Compensation shall be determined prior to any
      reductions made pursuant to Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3),
      402(h)(1)(B), 403(b) or 457(b), and Employee contributions described in Code
      Section 414(h)(2) that are treated as Employer contributions.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Furthermore,
      a deferral election may not be made with respect to Compensation that is paid
      in
      the form of cash bonuses.

    

    The
      amount by which Compensation is reduced shall be that Participant's Deferred
      Compensation and be treated as an Employer Elective Contribution and allocated
      to that Participant's Elective Account.

    

    (b) The
      balance in each Participant's Elective Account shall be fully Vested at all
      times and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall not be subject to
      Forfeiture for any reason.

    

    (c) Notwithstanding
      anything in the Plan to the contrary, amounts held in the Participant's Elective
      Account may not be distributable (including any offset of loans) earlier
      than:

    

    (1) a
      Participant's separation from service, Total and Permanent Disability, or
      death;

    

    (2) a
      Participant's attainment of age 59 1/2;

    

    (3) the
      termination of the Plan without the existence at the time of Plan termination
      of
      another defined contribution plan or the establishment of a successor defined
      contribution plan by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer within the period
      ending twelve months after distribution of all assets from the Plan maintained
      by the Employer. For this purpose, a defined contribution plan does not include
      an employee stock ownership plan (as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(7) or
      409),
      a simplified employee pension plan (as defined in Code Section 408(k)), or
      a simple individual retirement account plan (as defined in Code
      Section 408(p));

    

    (4) the
      date
      of disposition by the Employer to an entity that is not an Affiliated Employer
      of substantially all of the assets (within the meaning of Code
      Section 409(d)(2)) used in a trade or business of such corporation if such
      corporation continues to maintain this Plan after the disposition with respect
      to a Participant who continues employment with the corporation acquiring such
      assets;

    

    (5) the
      date
      of disposition by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer who maintains the
      Plan
      of its interest in a subsidiary (within the meaning of Code
      Section 409(d)(3)) to an entity which is not an Affiliated Employer but
      only with respect to a Participant who continues employment with such
      subsidiary; or

    

    (6) the
      proven financial hardship of a Participant, subject to the limitations of
      Section 6.11.

    

    (d) For
      each
      Plan Year, a Participant's Deferred Compensation made under this Plan and all
      other plans, contracts or arrangements of the Employer maintaining this Plan
      shall not exceed, during any taxable year of the Participant, 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    the
      limitation imposed by Code Section 402(g), as
      in effect at the beginning of such taxable year. If such dollar limitation
      is
      exceeded, a Participant will be deemed to have notified the Administrator of
      such excess amount which shall be distributed in a manner consistent with
      Section 4.2(f). The dollar limitation shall be adjusted annually pursuant to
      the
      method provided in Code Section 415(d) in accordance with
      Regulations.

     

    (e) In
      the
      event a Participant has received a hardship distribution from the Participant's
      Elective Account pursuant to Section 6.11(b) or pursuant to Regulation
      1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iv)(B) from any other plan maintained by the Employer, then
      such Participant shall not be permitted to elect to have Deferred Compensation
      contributed to the Plan for a period of twelve (12) months following the receipt
      of the distribution. Furthermore, the dollar limitation under Code
      Section 402(g) shall be reduced, with respect to the Participant's taxable
      year following the taxable year in which the hardship distribution was made,
      by
      the amount of such Participant's Deferred Compensation, if any, pursuant to
      this
      Plan (and any other plan maintained by the Employer) for the taxable year of
      the
      hardship distribution.

    

    (f) If
      a
      Participant's Deferred Compensation under this Plan together with any elective
      deferrals (as defined in Regulation 1.402(g)-1(b)) under another qualified
      cash
      or deferred arrangement (as described in Code Section 401(k)), a simplified
      employee pension (as described in Code Section 408(k)(6)), a simple
      individual retirement account plan (as described in Code Section 408(p)), a
      salary reduction arrangement (within the meaning of Code
      Section 3121(a)(5)(D)), a deferred compensation plan under Code
      Section 457(b), or a trust described in Code Section 501(c)(18)
      cumulatively exceed the limitation imposed by Code Section 402(g) (as
      adjusted annually in accordance with the method provided in Code
      Section 415(d) pursuant to Regulations) for such Participant's taxable
      year, the Participant may, not later than March 1 following the close of
      the Participant's taxable year, notify the Administrator in writing of such
      excess and request that the Participant's Deferred Compensation under this
      Plan
      be reduced by an amount specified by the Participant. In such event, the
      Administrator may direct the Trustee to distribute such excess amount (and
      any
      Income allocable to such excess amount) to the Participant not later than the
      first April 15th following the close of the Participant's taxable year. Any
      distribution of less than the entire amount of Excess Deferred Compensation
      and
      Income shall be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Deferred
      Compensation and Income. The amount distributed shall not exceed the
      Participant's Deferred Compensation under the Plan for the taxable year (and
      any
      Income allocable to such excess amount). Any distribution on or before the
      last
      day of the Participant's taxable year must satisfy each of the following
      conditions:

    

    (1) the
      distribution must be made after the date on which the Plan received the Excess
      Deferred Compensation;

    

    (2) the
      Participant shall designate the distribution as Excess Deferred Compensation;
      and

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (3) the
      Plan
      must designate the distribution as a distribution of Excess Deferred
      Compensation.

    

    Any
      distribution made pursuant to this Section 4.2(f) shall be made first from
      unmatched Deferred Compensation and, thereafter, from Deferred Compensation
      which is matched. Matching contributions which relate to such Deferred
      Compensation shall be forfeited.

    

    (g) Notwithstanding
      Section 4.2(f) above, a Participant's Excess Deferred Compensation shall be
      reduced, but not below zero, by any distribution of Excess Contributions
      pursuant to Section 4.6(a) for the Plan Year beginning with or within the
      taxable year of the Participant.

    

    (h) At
      Normal
      Retirement Date, or such other date when the Participant shall be entitled
      to
      receive benefits, the fair market value of the Participant's Elective Account
      shall be used to provide additional benefits to the Participant or the
      Participant's Beneficiary.

    

    (i) Employer
      Elective Contributions made pursuant to this Section may be segregated into
      a
      separate account for each Participant in a federally insured savings account,
      certificate of deposit in a bank or savings and loan association, money market
      certificate, or other short-term debt security acceptable to the Trustee until
      such time as the allocations pursuant to Section 4.4 have been
      made.

    

    (j) The
      Employer and the Administrator shall implement the salary reduction elections
      provided for herein in accordance with the following:

    

    

    (1) A
      Participant must make an initial salary deferral election within a reasonable
      time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, after entering the Plan pursuant to
      Section 3.2. If the Participant fails to make an initial salary deferral
      election within such time, then such Participant may thereafter make an election
      in accordance with the rules governing modifications. The Participant shall
      make
      such an election by entering into a written salary reduction agreement with
      the
      Employer and filing such agreement with the Administrator. Such election shall
      initially be effective beginning with the pay period following the acceptance
      of
      the salary reduction agreement by the Administrator, shall not have retroactive
      effect and shall remain in force until revoked.

    

    (2) A
      Participant may modify a prior election at any time during the Plan Year and
      concurrently make a new election by filing a written notice with the
      Administrator within a reasonable time before the pay period for which such
      modification is to be effective. Any modification shall not have retroactive
      effect and shall remain in force until revoked.

    

    (3) A
      Participant may elect to prospectively revoke the Participant's salary reduction
      agreement in its entirety at any time during the Plan Year by providing the
      Administrator with thirty (30) days written notice of such 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    revocation
      (or upon such shorter notice period as may be
      acceptable to the Administrator). Such revocation shall become effective as
      of
      the beginning of the first pay period coincident with or next following the
      expiration of the notice period. Furthermore, the termination of the
      Participant's employment, or the cessation of participation for any reason,
      shall be deemed to revoke any salary reduction agreement then in effect,
      effective immediately following the close of the pay period within which such
      termination or cessation occurs.

     

    4.3    TIME
      OF
      PAYMENT OF EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION

    

    The
      Employer may make its contribution to the Plan for a particular Plan Year at
      such time as the Employer, in its sole discretion, determines. If the Employer
      makes a contribution for a particular Plan Year after the close of that Plan
      Year, the Employer will designate to the Trustee the Plan Year for which the
      Employer is making its contribution.

    

    4.4    ALLOCATION
      OF CONTRIBUTION, FORFEITURES AND EARNINGS

    

    (a) The
      Administrator shall establish and maintain an account in the name of each
      Participant to which the Administrator shall credit as of each Anniversary
      Date,
      or other Valuation Date, all amounts allocated to each such Participant as
      set
      forth herein.

    

    (b) The
      Employer shall provide the Administrator with all information required by the
      Administrator to make a proper allocation of the Employer contributions for
      each
      Plan Year. Within a reasonable period of time after the date of receipt by
      the
      Administrator of such information, the Administrator shall allocate such
      contribution as follows:

    

    (1) With
      respect to the Employer Elective Contribution made pursuant to Section 4.1(a),
      to each Participant's Elective Account in an amount equal to each such
      Participant's Deferred Compensation for the year.

    

    (2) With
      respect to the Employer Non-Elective Contribution made pursuant to Section
      4.1(b), to each Participant's Account in accordance with Section
      4.1(b).

    

    Any
      Participant actively employed during the Plan Year shall be eligible to share
      in
      the matching contribution for the Plan Year.

    

    (3) With
      respect to the Employer Qualified Non-Elective Contribution made pursuant to
      Section 4.1(c), to each Participant's Elective Account when used to satisfy
      the
      "Actual Deferral Percentage" tests or Participant's Account in accordance with
      Section 4.1(c).

    

    Only
      Non-Highly Compensated Participants who have completed a Year of Service during
      the Plan Year and are actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year shall
      be eligible to share in the Qualified Non-Elective Contribution for the
      year.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (4) With
      respect to the Employer Non-Elective Contribution made pursuant to
      Section 4.1(d), to each Participant's Account in the same proportion that
      each such Participant's Compensation for the year bears to the total
      Compensation of all Participants for such year.

    

    Only
      Participants who have completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year and
      are
      actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year shall be eligible to share
      in
      the discretionary contribution for the year.

    

    (c) On
      or
      before each Anniversary Date any amounts which became Forfeitures since the
      last
      Anniversary Date may be made available to reinstate previously forfeited account
      balances of Former Participants, if any, in accordance with Section 3.7(d),
      be
      used to satisfy any contribution that may be required pursuant to
      Section 3.5 and/or 6.9, or be used to pay any administrative expenses of
      the Plan. The remaining Forfeitures, if any, shall be used to reduce the
      contribution of the Employer hereunder for the Plan Year in which such
      Forfeitures occur in the following manner:

    

    (1) Forfeitures
      attributable to Employer matching contributions made pursuant to Section 4.1(b)
      shall be used to reduce the Employer contribution for the Plan Year in which
      such Forfeitures occur.

    

    (2) Forfeitures
      attributable to Employer discretionary contributions made pursuant to
      Section 4.1(d) shall be used to reduce the Employer contribution for the
      Plan Year in which such Forfeitures occur.

    

    (d) For
      any
      Top Heavy Plan Year, Non-Key Employees not otherwise eligible to share in the
      allocation of contributions as provided above, shall receive the minimum
      allocation provided for in Section 4.4(g) if eligible pursuant to the
      provisions of Section 4.4(i).

    

    (e) Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, Participants who are not actively employed on the last day of
      the
      Plan Year due to Retirement (Early, Normal or Late), Total and Permanent
      Disability or death shall share in the allocation of contributions for that
      Plan
      Year.

    

    (f) As
      of
      each Valuation Date, before the current valuation period allocation of Employer
      contributions, any earnings or losses (net appreciation or net depreciation)
      of
      the Trust Fund shall be allocated in the same proportion that each Participant's
      and Former Participant's nonsegregated accounts bear to the total of all
      Participants' and Former Participants' nonsegregated accounts as of such date.
      Earnings or losses with respect to a Participant's Directed Account shall be
      allocated in accordance with Section 4.12.

    

    Participants'
      transfers from other qualified plans deposited in the general Trust Fund shall
      share in any earnings and losses (net appreciation or net depreciation) of
      the
      Trust Fund in the same manner provided above. Each 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
segregated
      account maintained on behalf of a
      Participant shall be credited or charged with its separate earnings and
      losses.

     

    (g) Minimum
      Allocations Required for Top Heavy Plan Years: Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      for any Top Heavy Plan Year, the sum of the Employer contributions allocated
      to
      the Participant's Combined Account of each Non-Key Employee shall be equal
      to at
      least three percent (3%) of such Non-Key Employee's "415 Compensation" (reduced
      by contributions and forfeitures, if any, allocated to each Non-Key Employee
      in
      any defined contribution plan included with this Plan in a Required Aggregation
      Group). However, if (1) the sum of the Employer contributions allocated to
      the Participant's Combined Account of each Key Employee for such Top Heavy
      Plan
      Year is less than three percent (3%) of each Key Employee's "415 Compensation"
      and (2) this Plan is not required to be included in an Aggregation Group to
      enable a defined benefit plan to meet the requirements of Code
      Section 401(a)(4) or 410, the sum of the Employer contributions allocated
      to the Participant's Combined Account of each Non-Key Employee shall be equal
      to
      the largest percentage allocated to the Participant's Combined Account of any
      Key Employee. However, in determining whether a Non-Key Employee has received
      the required minimum allocation, such Non-Key Employee's Deferred Compensation
      and matching contributions needed to satisfy the "Actual Contribution
      Percentage" tests pursuant to Section 4.7(a) shall not be taken into
      account.

    

    However,
      no such minimum allocation shall be required in this Plan for any Non-Key
      Employee who participates in another defined contribution plan subject to Code
      Section 412 included with this Plan in a Required Aggregation
      Group.

    

    (h) For
      purposes of the minimum allocations set forth above, the percentage allocated
      to
      the Participant's Combined Account of any Key Employee shall be equal to the
      ratio of the sum of the Employer contributions allocated on behalf of such
      Key
      Employee divided by the "415 Compensation" for such Key Employee.

    

    (i) For
      any
      Top Heavy Plan Year, the minimum allocations set forth above shall be allocated
      to the Participant's Combined Account of all Non-Key Employees who are
      Participants and who are employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan
      Year, including Non-Key Employees who have (1) failed to complete a Year of
      Service; and (2) declined to make mandatory contributions (if required) or,
      in the case of a cash or deferred arrangement, elective contributions to the
      Plan.

    

    (j) In
      lieu
      of the above, in any Plan Year in which a Non-Key Employee is a Participant
      in
      both this Plan and a defined benefit pension plan included in a Required
      Aggregation Group which is top heavy, the Employer shall not be required to
      provide such Non-Key Employee with both the full separate defined benefit plan
      minimum benefit and the full separate defined contribution plan minimum
      allocation.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Therefore,
      for any Plan Year when the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, a Non-Key Employee who
      is
      participating in this Plan and a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer
      shall receive a minimum monthly accrued benefit in the defined benefit plan
      equal to the product of (1) one-twelfth (1/12th) of "415 Compensation"
      averaged over the five (5) consecutive "limitation years" (or actual "limitation
      years," if less) which produce the highest average and (2) the lesser of
      (i) two percent (2%) multiplied by years of service when the plan is top
      heavy or (ii) twenty percent (20%).

    

    (k) For
      the
      purposes of this Section, "415 Compensation" in excess of $150,000 (or such
      other amount provided in the Code) shall be disregarded. Such amount shall
      be
      adjusted for increases in the cost of living in accordance with Code
      Section 401(a)(17)(B), except that the dollar increase in effect on
      January 1 of any calendar year shall be effective for the Plan Year
      beginning with or within such calendar year. If "415 Compensation" for any
      prior
      determination period is taken into account in determining a Participant's
      minimum benefit for the current Plan Year, the "415 Compensation" for such
      determination period is subject to the applicable annual "415 Compensation"
      limit in effect for that prior period. For this purpose, in determining the
      minimum benefit in Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1989, the
      annual "415 Compensation" limit in effect for determination periods beginning
      before that date is $200,000 (or such other amount as adjusted for increases
      in
      the cost of living in accordance with Code Section 415(d) for determination
      periods beginning on or after January 1, 1989, and in accordance with Code
      Section 401(a)(17)(B) for determination periods beginning on or after
      January 1, 1994). For determination periods beginning prior to
      January 1, 1989, the $200,000 limit shall apply only for Top Heavy Plan
      Years and shall not be adjusted. For any short Plan Year the "415 Compensation"
      limit shall be an amount equal to the "415 Compensation" limit for the calendar
      year in which the Plan Year begins multiplied by the ratio obtained by dividing
      the number of full months in the short Plan Year by twelve (12).

    

    (l) Notwithstanding
      anything herein to the contrary, Participants who terminated employment for
      any
      reason during the Plan Year shall share in the salary reduction contributions
      made by the Employer for the year of termination without regard to the Hours
      of
      Service credited.

    

    (m) Notwithstanding
      anything in this Section to the contrary, all information necessary to properly
      reflect a given transaction may not be available until after the date specified
      herein for processing such transaction, in which case the transaction will
      be
      reflected when such information is received and processed. Subject to express
      limits that may be imposed under the Code, the processing of any contribution,
      distribution or other transaction may be delayed for any legitimate business
      reason (including, but not limited to, failure of systems or computer programs,
      failure of the means of the transmission of data, force majeure, the failure
      of
      a service provider to timely receive values or prices, and the correction for
      errors or omissions or the errors or omissions of any service provider). The
      processing date of a transaction will be binding for all purposes of the
      Plan.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        28

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (n) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary, if this is a Plan that would otherwise fail to meet
      the requirements of Code Section 410(b)(1)(B) and the Regulations thereunder
      because Employer contributions would not be allocated to a sufficient number
      or
      percentage of Participants for a Plan Year, then the following rules shall
      apply:

    

    

    (1) The
      group
      of Participants eligible to share in the Employer's contribution for the Plan
      Year shall be expanded to include the minimum number of Participants who would
      not otherwise be eligible as are necessary to satisfy the applicable test
      specified above. The specific Participants who shall become eligible under
      the
      terms of this paragraph shall be those who have not separated from service
      prior
      to the last day of the Plan Year and have completed the greatest number of
      Hours
      of Service in the Plan Year.

    

    (2) If
      after
      application of paragraph (1) above, the applicable test is still not satisfied,
      then the group of Participants eligible to share in the Employer's contribution
      for the Plan Year shall be further expanded to include the minimum number of
      Participants who have separated from service prior to the last day of the Plan
      Year as are necessary to satisfy the applicable test. The specific Participants
      who shall become eligible to share shall be those Participants who have
      completed the greatest number of Hours of Service in the Plan Year before
      terminating employment.

    

    (3) Nothing
      in this Section shall permit the reduction of a Participant's accrued benefit.
      Therefore any amounts that have previously been allocated to Participants may
      not be reallocated to satisfy these requirements. In such event, the Employer
      shall make an additional contribution equal to the amount such affected
      Participants would have received had they been included in the allocations,
      even
      if it exceeds the amount which would be deductible under Code Section 404.
      Any
      adjustment to the allocations pursuant to this paragraph shall be considered
      a
      retroactive amendment adopted by the last day of the Plan Year.

    

    (4) Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, if the portion of the Plan which is not a Code
      Section 401(k) or 401(m) plan would fail to satisfy Code
      Section 410(b) if the coverage tests were applied by treating those
      Participants whose only allocation would otherwise be provided under the top
      heavy formula as if they were not currently benefiting under the Plan, then,
      for
      purposes of this Section 4.4(n), such Participants shall be treated as not
      benefiting and shall therefore be eligible to be included in the expanded class
      of Participants who will share in the allocation provided under the Plan's
      non
      top heavy formula.

    

    (o) If
      the
      Trust receives any miscellaneous receipts, including, but not limited to
      payments from mutual funds, rebates of any 12b-1 fees, service fees,
      sub-transfer agency fees, commission recaptures or any other similar payments
      from a third party (“Miscellaneous Receipts”), such amounts shall allocated to a

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    suspense
      account and used to defray Plan expenses in
      accordance with Section 2.8 herein. As of the last day of any Plan Year, any
      Miscellaneous Receipts and earnings thereon remaining after payment of Expenses
      in accordance with Section 2.8 herein shall be allocated pro-rata to
      Participants’ Accounts according to the fair market value of Participants’
respective Participant Combined Account balances as of the last day of the
      applicable Plan Year. The allocation made under this Section shall be made
      after
      the allocation of contributions and forfeitures.

    
 

    4.5    ACTUAL
      DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE TESTS

    

    (a) Maximum
      Annual Allocation: For each Plan Year, the annual allocation derived from
      Employer Elective Contributions to a Highly Compensated Participant's Elective
      Account shall satisfy one of the following tests:

    

    (1) The
      "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Highly Compensated Participant group shall
      not be more than the "Actual Deferral Percentage" of the Non-Highly Compensated
      Participant group (for the preceding Plan Year if the prior year testing method
      is used to calculate the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant group) multiplied by 1.25, or

    

    (2) The
      excess of the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Highly Compensated
      Participant group over the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant group (for the preceding Plan Year if the prior year
      testing method is used to calculate the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the
      Non-Highly Compensated Participant group) shall not be more than two percentage
      points. Additionally, the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for the Highly
      Compensated Participant group shall not exceed the "Actual Deferral Percentage"
      for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group (for the preceding Plan Year
      if
      the prior year testing method is used to calculate the "Actual Deferral
      Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group) multiplied by
      2.
      The provisions of Code Section 401(k)(3) and Regulation 1.401(k)-1(b) are
      incorporated herein by reference.

    

    However,
      in order to prevent the multiple use of the alternative method described in
      (2) above and in Code Section 401(m)(9)(A), any Highly Compensated
      Participant eligible to make elective deferrals pursuant to Section 4.2 and
      to
      make Employee contributions or to receive matching contributions under this
      Plan
      or under any other plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer
      shall have a combination of such Participant's Elective Contributions and
      Employer matching contributions reduced pursuant to Section 4.6(a) and
      Regulation 1.401(m)-2, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by
      reference.

    

    (b) For
      the
      purposes of this Section "Actual Deferral Percentage" means, with respect to
      the
      Highly Compensated Participant group and Non-Highly Compensated Participant
      group for a Plan Year, the average of the 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    ratios,
      calculated separately for each Participant in
      such group, of the amount of Employer Elective Contributions allocated to each
      Participant's Elective Account for such Plan Year, to such Participant's "414(s)
      Compensation" for such Plan Year. The actual deferral ratio for each Participant
      and the "Actual Deferral Percentage" for each group shall be calculated to
      the
      nearest one-hundredth of one percent. Employer Elective Contributions allocated
      to each Non-Highly Compensated Participant's Elective Account shall be reduced
      by Excess Deferred Compensation to the extent such excess amounts are made
      under
      this Plan or any other plan maintained by the Employer.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the above, if the prior year test method is used to calculate the "Actual
      Deferral Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group for the
      first Plan Year of this amendment and restatement, the "Actual Deferral
      Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group for the preceding
      Plan Year shall be calculated pursuant to the provisions of the Plan then in
      effect.

    

    (c) For
      the
      purposes of Sections 4.5(a) and 4.6, a Highly Compensated Participant and a
      Non-Highly Compensated Participant shall include any Employee eligible to make
      a
      deferral election pursuant to Section 4.2, whether or not such deferral election
      was made or suspended pursuant to Section 4.2.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, if the prior year testing method is used to calculate the "Actual
      Deferral Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group for the
      first Plan Year of this amendment and restatement, for purposes of Section
      4.5(a) and 4.6, a Non-Highly Compensated Participant shall include any such
      Employee eligible to make a deferral election, whether or not such deferral
      election was made or suspended, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan in effect
      for the preceding Plan Year.

    

    (d) For
      the
      purposes of this Section and Code Sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k), if
      two
      or more plans which include cash or deferred arrangements are considered one
      plan for the purposes of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than Code
      Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)), the cash or deferred arrangements included in such
      plans shall be treated as one arrangement. In addition, two or more cash or
      deferred arrangements may be considered as a single arrangement for purposes
      of
      determining whether or not such arrangements satisfy Code Sections 401(a)(4),
      410(b) and 401(k). In such a case, the cash or deferred arrangements included
      in
      such plans and the plans including such arrangements shall be treated as one
      arrangement and as one plan for purposes of this Section and Code Sections
      401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k). Any adjustment to the Non-Highly Compensated
      Participant actual deferral ratio for the prior year shall be made in accordance
      with Internal Revenue Service Notice 98-1 and any superseding guidance. Plans
      may be aggregated under this paragraph (d) only if they have the same plan
      year.
      Notwithstanding the above, if two or more plans which include cash or deferred
      arrangements are permissively aggregated under Regulation 1.410(b)-7(d), all
      plans permissively aggregated must use either the current year testing method
      or
      the prior year testing method for the testing year.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Notwithstanding
      the above, an employee stock ownership plan described in Code Section 4975(e)(7)
      or 409 may not be combined with this Plan for purposes of determining whether
      the employee stock ownership plan or this Plan satisfies this Section and Code
      Sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k).

    

    (e) For
      the
      purposes of this Section, if a Highly Compensated Participant is a Participant
      under two or more cash or deferred arrangements (other than a cash or deferred
      arrangement which is part of an employee stock ownership plan as defined in
      Code
      Section 4975(e)(7) or 409) of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, all such
      cash or deferred arrangements shall be treated as one cash or deferred
      arrangement for the purpose of determining the actual deferral ratio with
      respect to such Highly Compensated Participant. However, if the cash or deferred
      arrangements have different plan years, this paragraph shall be applied by
      treating all cash or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same
      calendar year as a single arrangement.

    

    (f) For
      the
      purpose of this Section, when calculating the "Actual Deferral Percentage"
      for
      the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group, the current year testing method
      shall be used. Any change from the current year testing method to the prior
      year
      testing method shall be made pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Notice 98-1,
      Section VII (or superseding guidance), the provisions of which are
      incorporated herein by reference.

    

    (g) Notwithstanding
      anything in this Section to the contrary, the provisions of this Section and
      Section 4.6 may be applied separately (or will be applied separately to the
      extent required by Regulations) to each plan within the meaning of Regulation
      1.401(k)-1(g)(11). Furthermore, the provisions of Code Section 401(k)(3)(F)
      may
      be used to exclude from consideration all Non-Highly Compensated Employees
      who
      have not satisfied the minimum age and service requirements of Code Section
      410(a)(1)(A).

    

    4.6    ADJUSTMENT
      TO ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE TESTS

    

    

    In
      the
      event (or if it is anticipated) that the initial allocations of the Employer
      Elective Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.4 do (or might) not satisfy
      one of the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a), the Administrator shall adjust
      Excess Contributions pursuant to the options set forth below:

    

    (a) On
      or
      before the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of each Plan
      Year,
      but in no event later than the close of the following Plan Year, the Highly
      Compensated Participant having the largest dollar amount of Elective
      Contributions shall have a portion of such Participant's Elective Contributions
      distributed until the total amount of Excess Contributions has been distributed,
      or until the amount of such Participant's Elective Contributions equals the
      Elective Contributions of the Highly Compensated Participant having the second
      largest dollar amount of Elective Contributions. This process shall continue
      until the total amount of Excess Contributions has been distributed. In
      determining the amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed with respect
      to
      an affected Highly Compensated Participant as determined herein, such amount
      shall be reduced 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        32

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
pursuant
      to Section 4.2(f) by any Excess Deferred
      Compensation previously distributed to such affected Highly Compensated
      Participant for such Participant's taxable year ending with or within such
      Plan
      Year.

     

    (1) With
      respect to the distribution of Excess Contributions pursuant to (a) above,
      such distribution:

    

    (i) may
      be
      postponed but not later than the close of the Plan Year following the Plan
      Year
      to which they are allocable;

    

    (ii) shall
      be
      adjusted for Income; and

    

    (iii) shall
      be
      designated by the Employer as a distribution of Excess Contributions (and
      Income).

    

    (2) Any
      distribution of less than the entire amount of Excess Contributions shall be
      treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Contributions and
      Income.

    

    (3) Matching
      contributions which relate to Excess Contributions shall be forfeited unless
      the
      related matching contribution is distributed as an Excess Aggregate Contribution
      pursuant to Section 4.8.

    

    (b) Notwithstanding
      the above, within twelve (12) months after the end of the Plan Year, the
      Employer may make a special Qualified Non-Elective Contribution in accordance
      with one of the following provisions which contribution shall be allocated
      to
      the Participant's Elective Account of each Non-Highly Compensated Participant
      eligible to share in the allocation in accordance with such provision. The
      Employer shall provide the Administrator with written notification of the amount
      of the contribution being made and for which provision it is being made pursuant
      to:

    

    

    (1) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent
      an
      anticipated failure of) one of the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a). Such
      contribution shall be allocated in the same proportion that each Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant's 414(s) Compensation for the year (or prior year if
      the
      prior year testing method is being used) bears to the total 414(s) Compensation
      of all Non-Highly Compensated Participants for such year.

    

    (2) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent
      an
      anticipated failure of) one of the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a). Such
      contribution shall be allocated in the same proportion that each Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant electing salary reductions pursuant to Section 4.2
      in the same proportion that each such Non-Highly Compensated Participant's
      Deferred Compensation for the year (or at the end of the prior Plan Year if
      the
      prior year testing method is being used) 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        33

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
bears
      to the total Deferred Compensation of all such
      Non-Highly Compensated Participants for such year.

     

    (3) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent
      an
      anticipated failure of) one of the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a). Such
      contribution shall be allocated in equal amounts (per capita).

    

    (4) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants electing salary reductions pursuant to Section 4.2
      in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent an anticipated failure of)
      one
      of the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a). Such contribution shall be
      allocated for the year (or at the end of the prior Plan Year if the prior year
      testing method is used) to each Non-Highly Compensated Participant electing
      salary reductions pursuant to Section 4.2 in equal amounts (per
      capita).

    

    (5) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent
      an
      anticipated failure of) one of the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a). Such
      contribution shall be allocated to the Non-Highly Compensated Participant having
      the lowest 414(s) Compensation, until one of the tests set forth in
      Section 4.5(a) is satisfied (or is anticipated to be satisfied), or until
      such Non-Highly Compensated Participant has received the maximum "annual
      addition" pursuant to Section 4.9. This process shall continue until one of
      the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a) is satisfied (or is anticipated to be
      satisfied).

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, at the Employer's discretion, Non-Highly Compensated Participants
      who
      are not employed at the end of the Plan Year (or at the end of the prior Plan
      Year if the prior year testing method is being used) shall not be eligible
      to
      receive a special Qualified Non-Elective Contribution and shall be
      disregarded.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, if the testing method changes from the current year testing method
      to
      the prior year testing method, then for purposes of preventing the double
      counting of Qualified Non-Elective Contributions for the first testing year
      for
      which the change is effective, any special Qualified Non-Elective Contribution
      on behalf of Non-Highly Compensated Participants used to satisfy the "Actual
      Deferral Percentage" or "Actual Contribution Percentage" test under the current
      year testing method for the prior year testing year shall be
      disregarded.

    

    (c) If
      during
      a Plan Year, it is projected that the aggregate amount of Elective Contributions
      to be allocated to all Highly Compensated Participants under this Plan would
      cause the Plan to fail the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a), then the
      Administrator may automatically reduce the deferral amount of affected Highly
      Compensated Participants, beginning with the Highly Compensated 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        34

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
Participant
      who has the highest deferral ratio until
      it is anticipated the Plan will pass the tests or until the actual deferral
      ratio equals the actual deferral ratio of the Highly Compensated Participant
      having the next highest actual deferral ratio. This process may continue until
      it is anticipated that the Plan will satisfy one of the tests set forth in
      Section 4.5(a). Alternatively, the Employer may specify a maximum
      percentage of Compensation that may be deferred.

     

    (d) Any
      Excess Contributions (and Income) which are distributed on or after 2 1/2
      months after the end of the Plan Year shall be subject to the ten percent (10%)
      Employer excise tax imposed by Code Section 4979.

    

    4.7    ACTUAL
      CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE TESTS

    

    

    (a) The
      "Actual Contribution Percentage" for the Highly Compensated Participant group
      shall not exceed the greater of:

    

    (1) 125
      percent of such percentage for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group
      (for
      the preceding Plan Year if the prior year testing method is used to calculate
      the "Actual Contribution Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant
      group); or

    

    (2) the
      lesser of 200 percent of such percentage for the Non-Highly Compensated
      Participant group (for the preceding Plan Year if the prior year testing method
      is used to calculate the "Actual Contribution Percentage" for the Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant group), or such percentage for the Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant group (for the preceding Plan Year if the prior year
      testing method is used to calculate the "Actual Contribution Percentage" for
      the
      Non-Highly Compensated Participant group) plus 2 percentage points. However,
      to
      prevent the multiple use of the alternative method described in this paragraph
      and Code Section 401(m)(9)(A), any Highly Compensated Participant eligible
      to make elective deferrals pursuant to Section 4.2 or any other cash or
      deferred arrangement maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer and
      to
      make Employee contributions or to receive matching contributions under this
      Plan
      or under any plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer shall
      have a combination of Elective Contributions and Employer matching contributions
      reduced pursuant to Regulation 1.401(m)-2 and Section 4.8(a). The
      provisions of Code Section 401(m) and Regulations 1.401(m)-1(b) and
      1.401(m)-2 are incorporated herein by reference.

    

    (b) For
      the
      purposes of this Section and Section 4.8, "Actual Contribution Percentage"
      for a Plan Year means, with respect to the Highly Compensated Participant group
      and Non-Highly Compensated Participant group (for the preceding Plan Year if
      the
      prior year testing method is used to calculate the "Actual Contribution
      Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group), the average
      of
      the ratios (calculated separately for each Participant in each group and rounded
      to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) of:

     

    
 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        35

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (1) the
      sum
      of Employer matching contributions made pursuant to Section 4.1(b) on behalf
      of
      each such Participant for such Plan Year; to

    

    (2) the
      Participant's "414(s) Compensation" for such Plan Year.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, if the prior year testing method is used to calculate the "Actual
      Contribution Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group for
      the first Plan Year of this amendment and restatement, for purposes of
      Section 4.7(a), the "Actual Contribution Percentage" for the Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant group for the preceding Plan Year shall be determined
      pursuant to the provisions of the Plan then in effect.

    

    (c) For
      purposes of determining the "Actual Contribution Percentage," only Employer
      matching contributions contributed to the Plan prior to the end of the
      succeeding Plan Year shall be considered. In addition, the Administrator may
      elect to take into account, with respect to Employees eligible to have Employer
      matching contributions pursuant to Section 4.1(b) allocated to their accounts,
      elective deferrals (as defined in Regulation 1.402(g)-1(b)) and qualified
      non-elective contributions (as defined in Code Section 401(m)(4)(C))
      contributed to any plan maintained by the Employer. Such elective deferrals
      and
      qualified non-elective contributions shall be treated as Employer matching
      contributions subject to Regulation 1.401(m)-1(b)(5) which is incorporated
      herein by reference. However, the Plan Year must be the same as the plan year
      of
      the plan to which the elective deferrals and the qualified non-elective
      contributions are made.

    

    (d) For
      purposes of this Section and Code Sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(m), if
      two or more plans of the Employer to which matching contributions, Employee
      contributions, or both, are made are treated as one plan for purposes of Code
      Sections 401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than the average benefits test under
      Code Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)), such plans shall be treated as one plan. In
      addition, two or more plans of the Employer to which matching contributions,
      Employee contributions, or both, are made may be considered as a single plan
      for
      purposes of determining whether or not such plans satisfy Code
      Sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(m). In such a case, the aggregated plans
      must satisfy this Section and Code Sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(m) as
      though such aggregated plans were a single plan. Any adjustment to the
      Non-Highly Compensated Participant actual contribution ratio for the prior
      year
      shall be made in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Notice 98-1 and any
      superseding guidance. Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph (d) only
      if
      they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the above, if two or more plans
      which include cash or deferred arrangements are permissively aggregated under
      Regulation 1.410(b)-7(d), all plans permissively aggregated must use either
      the
      current year testing method or the prior year testing method for the testing
      year.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, an employee stock ownership plan described in Code
      Section 4975(e)(7) or 409 may not be aggregated with this Plan for purposes
      of determining whether the employee stock ownership plan or this Plan satisfies
      this Section and Code Sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(m).

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (e) If
      a
      Highly Compensated Participant is a Participant under two or more plans (other
      than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(7)
      or 409) which are maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer to which
      matching contributions, Employee contributions, or both, are made, all such
      contributions on behalf of such Highly Compensated Participant shall be
      aggregated for purposes of determining such Highly Compensated Participant's
      actual contribution ratio. However, if the plans have different plan years,
      this
      paragraph shall be applied by treating all plans ending with or within the
      same
      calendar year as a single plan.

    

    (f) For
      purposes of Sections 4.7(a) and 4.8, a Highly Compensated Participant and
      Non-Highly Compensated Participant shall include any Employee eligible to have
      Employer matching contributions (whether or not a deferral election was made
      or
      suspended) allocated to the Participant's account for the Plan
      Year.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, if the prior year testing method is used to calculate the "Actual
      Contribution Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group for
      the first Plan Year of this amendment and restatement, for the purposes of
      Section 4.7(a), a Non-Highly Compensated Participant shall include any such
      Employee eligible to have Employer matching contributions (whether or not a
      deferral election was made or suspended) allocated to the Participant's account
      for the preceding Plan Year pursuant to the provisions of the Plan then in
      effect.

    

    (g) For
      the
      purpose of this Section, when calculating the "Actual Contribution Percentage"
      for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group, the current year testing
      method shall be used. Any change from the current year testing method to the
      prior year testing method shall be made pursuant to Internal Revenue Service
      Notice 98-1, Section VII (or superseding guidance), the provisions of which
      are incorporated herein by reference.

    

    (h) Notwithstanding
      anything in this Section to the contrary, the provisions of this Section and
      Section 4.8 may be applied separately (or will be applied separately to the
      extent required by Regulations) to each plan within the meaning of Regulation
      1.401(k)-1(g)(11). Furthermore, the provisions of Code Section 401(k)(3)(F)
      may
      be used to exclude from consideration all Non-Highly Compensated Employees
      who
      have not satisfied the minimum age and service requirements of Code Section
      410(a)(1)(A).

    

    4.8    ADJUSTMENT
      TO ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE TESTS

    

    

    (a) In
      the
      event (or if it is anticipated) that the "Actual Contribution Percentage" for
      the Highly Compensated Participant group exceeds (or might exceed) the "Actual
      Contribution Percentage" for the Non-Highly Compensated Participant group
      pursuant to Section 4.7(a), the Administrator (on or before the fifteenth day
      of
      the third month following the end of the Plan Year, but in no event later than
      the close of the following Plan Year) shall direct the Trustee to 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        37

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
distribute
      to the Highly Compensated Participant
      having the largest dollar amount of contributions determined pursuant to
      Section 4.7(b)(1), the Vested portion of such contributions (and Income
      allocable to such contributions) and, if forfeitable, forfeit such non-Vested
      contributions attributable to Employer matching contributions (and Income
      allocable to such forfeitures) until the total amount of Excess Aggregate
      Contributions has been distributed, or until the Participant's remaining amount
      equals the amount of contributions determined pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(1)
      of the Highly Compensated Participant having the second largest dollar amount
      of
      contributions. This process shall continue until the total amount of Excess
      Aggregate Contributions has been distributed.

     

    If
      the
      correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions attributable to Employer matching
      contributions is not in proportion to the Vested and non-Vested portion of
      such
      contributions, then the Vested portion of the Participant's Account attributable
      to Employer matching contributions after the correction shall be subject to
      Section 6.5(h).

    

    (b) Any
      distribution and/or forfeiture of less than the entire amount of Excess
      Aggregate Contributions (and Income) shall be treated as a pro rata
      distribution and/or forfeiture of Excess Aggregate Contributions and Income.
      Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be designated by the
      Employer as a distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions (and Income).
      Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be treated in accordance
      with Section 4.4.

    

    (c) Excess
      Aggregate Contributions, including forfeited matching contributions, shall
      be
      treated as Employer contributions for purposes of Code Sections 404 and 415
      even
      if distributed from the Plan.

    

    Forfeited
      matching contributions that are reallocated to Participants' Accounts for the
      Plan Year in which the forfeiture occurs shall be treated as an "annual
      addition" pursuant to Section 4.9(b) for the Participants to whose Accounts
      they are reallocated and for the Participants from whose Accounts they are
      forfeited.

    

    (d) The
      determination of the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions with respect
      to
      any Plan Year shall be made after first determining the Excess Contributions,
      if
      any, to be treated as after-tax voluntary Employee contributions due to
      recharacterization for the plan year of any other qualified cash or deferred
      arrangement (as defined in Code Section 401(k)) maintained by the Employer
      that
      ends with or within the Plan Year or which are treated as after-tax voluntary
      Employee contributions due to recharacterization pursuant to
      Section 4.6(a).

    

    (e) If
      during
      a Plan Year the projected aggregate amount of Employer matching contributions
      to
      be allocated to all Highly Compensated Participants under this Plan would,
      by
      virtue of the tests set forth in Section 4.7(a), cause the Plan to fail
      such tests, then the Administrator may automatically reduce proportionately
      or
      in the order provided in Section 4.8(a) each affected Highly 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        38

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    Compensated
      Participant's projected share of such
      contributions by an amount necessary to satisfy one of the tests set forth
      in
      Section 4.7(a).

    
 

    (f) Notwithstanding
      the above, within twelve (12) months after the end of the Plan Year, the
      Employer may make a special Qualified Non-Elective Contribution in accordance
      with one of the following provisions which contribution shall be allocated
      to
      the Participant's Account of each Non-Highly Compensated eligible to share
      in
      the allocation in accordance with such provision. The Employer shall provide
      the
      Administrator with written notification of the amount of the contribution being
      made and for which provision it is being made pursuant to:

    

    

    (1) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent
      an
      anticipated failure of) one of the tests set forth in Section 4.7. Such
      contribution shall be allocated in the same proportion that each Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant's 414(s) Compensation for the year (or prior year if
      the
      prior year testing method is being used) bears to the total 414(s) Compensation
      of all Non-Highly Compensated Participants for such year.

    

    (2) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent
      an
      anticipated failure of) one of the tests set forth in Section 4.7. Such
      contribution shall be allocated in the same proportion that each Non-Highly
      Compensated Participant electing salary reductions pursuant to Section 4.2
      in the same proportion that each such Non-Highly Compensated Participant's
      Deferred Compensation for the year (or at the end of the prior Plan Year if
      the
      prior year testing method is being used) bears to the total Deferred
      Compensation of all such Non-Highly Compensated Participants for such
      year.

    

    (3) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent
      an
      anticipated failure of) one of the tests set forth in Section 4.7. Such
      contribution shall be allocated in equal amounts (per capita).

    

    (4) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants electing salary reductions pursuant to Section 4.2
      in an amount sufficient to satisfy (or to prevent an anticipated failure of)
      one
      of the tests set forth in Section 4.5(a). Such contribution shall be
      allocated for the year (or at the end of the prior Plan Year if the prior year
      testing method is used) to each Non-Highly Compensated Participant electing
      salary reductions pursuant to Section 4.2 in equal amounts (per
      capita).

    

    (5) A
      special
      Qualified Non-Elective Contribution may be made on behalf of Non-Highly
      Compensated Participants in an amount sufficient to 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        39

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
satisfy
      (or to prevent an anticipated failure of)
      one of the tests set forth in Section 4.7. Such contribution shall be
      allocated to the Non-Highly Compensated Participant having the lowest 414(s)
      Compensation, until one of the tests set forth in Section 4.7 is satisfied
      (or is anticipated to be satisfied), or until such Non-Highly Compensated
      Participant has received the maximum "annual addition" pursuant to
      Section 4.9. This process shall continue until one of the tests set forth
      in Section 4.7 is satisfied (or is anticipated to be
      satisfied).

     

    Notwithstanding
      the above, at the Employer's discretion, Non-Highly Compensated Participants
      who
      are not employed at the end of the Plan Year (or at the end of the prior Plan
      Year if the prior year testing method is being used) shall not be eligible
      to
      receive a special Qualified Non-Elective Contribution and shall be
      disregarded.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, if the testing method changes from the current year testing method
      to
      the prior year testing method, then for purposes of preventing the double
      counting of Qualified Non-Elective Contributions for the first testing year
      for
      which the change is effective, any special Qualified Non-Elective Contribution
      on behalf of Non-Highly Compensated Participants used to satisfy the "Actual
      Deferral Percentage" or "Actual Contribution Percentage" test under the current
      year testing method for the prior year testing year shall be
      disregarded.

    

    (g) Any
      Excess Aggregate Contributions (and Income) which are distributed on or after
      2 1/2 months after the end of the Plan Year shall be subject to the ten
      percent (10%) Employer excise tax imposed by Code Section 4979.

    

    4.9    MAXIMUM
      ANNUAL ADDITIONS

    

    

    (a) Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the maximum "annual additions" credited to a Participant's
      accounts for any "limitation year" shall equal the lesser of: (1) $30,000
      adjusted annually as provided in Code Section 415(d) pursuant to the
      Regulations, or (2) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's "415
      Compensation" for such "limitation year." If the Employer contribution that
      would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant's accounts would
      cause the "annual additions" for the "limitation year" to exceed the maximum
      "annual additions," the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so
      that
      the "annual additions" for the "limitation year" will equal the maximum "annual
      additions," and any amount in excess of the maximum "annual additions," which
      would have been allocated to such Participant may be allocated to other
      Participants. For any short "limitation year," the dollar limitation in (1)
      above shall be reduced by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
      of
      full months in the short "limitation year" and the denominator of which is
      twelve (12).

    

    (b) For
      purposes of applying the limitations of Code Section 415, "annual
      additions" means the sum credited to a Participant's accounts for any
      "limitation year" of (1) Employer contributions, (2) Employee
      contributions, (3) forfeitures, (4) amounts allocated, after
      March 31, 1984, to an individual 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        40

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
medical
      account, as defined in Code
      Section 415(l)(2) which is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by
      the Employer and (5) amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued
      after December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending after such date,
      which are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the
      separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3))
      under a welfare benefit plan (as defined in Code Section 419(e)) maintained
      by the Employer. Except, however, the "415 Compensation" percentage limitation
      referred to in paragraph (a)(2) above shall not apply to: (1) any
      contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code
      Section 419A(f)(2)) after separation from service which is otherwise
      treated as an "annual addition," or (2) any amount otherwise treated as an
      "annual addition" under Code Section 415(l)(1).

     

    (c) For
      purposes of applying the limitations of Code Section 415, the transfer of
      funds from one qualified plan to another is not an "annual addition." In
      addition, the following are not Employee contributions for the purposes of
      Section 4.9(b)(2): (1) rollover contributions (as defined in Code Sections
      402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8) and 408(d)(3)); (2) repayments of loans
      made to a Participant from the Plan; (3) repayments of distributions
      received by an Employee pursuant to Code Section 411(a)(7)(B) (cash-outs);
      (4) repayments of distributions received by an Employee pursuant to Code
      Section 411(a)(3)(D) (mandatory contributions); and (5) Employee
      contributions to a simplified employee pension excludable from gross income
      under Code Section 408(k)(6).

    

    (d) For
      purposes of applying the limitations of Code Section 415, the "limitation
      year" shall be the Plan Year.

    

    (e) For
      the
      purpose of this Section, all qualified defined benefit plans (whether terminated
      or not) ever maintained by the Employer shall be treated as one defined benefit
      plan, and all qualified defined contribution plans (whether terminated or not)
      ever maintained by the Employer shall be treated as one defined contribution
      plan.

    

    (f) For
      the
      purpose of this Section, if the Employer is a member of a controlled group
      of
      corporations, trades or businesses under common control (as defined by Code
      Section 1563(a) or Code Section 414(b) and (c) as modified by Code
      Section 415(h)), is a member of an affiliated service group (as defined by
      Code Section 414(m)), or is a member of a group of entities required to be
      aggregated pursuant to Regulations under Code Section 414(o), all Employees
      of such Employers shall be considered to be employed by a single
      Employer.

    

    (g) For
      the
      purpose of this Section, if this Plan is a Code Section 413(c) plan, each
      Employer who maintains this Plan will be considered to be a separate
      Employer.

    

    (h)(1) If
      a
      Participant participates in more than one defined contribution plan maintained
      by the Employer which have different Anniversary Dates, the maximum "annual
      additions" under this Plan shall equal the maximum "annual 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        41

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
additions"
      for the "limitation year" minus any
      "annual additions" previously credited to such Participant's accounts during
      the
      "limitation year."

     

    (2) If
      a
      Participant participates in both a defined contribution plan subject to Code
      Section 412 and a defined contribution plan not subject to Code
      Section 412 maintained by the Employer which have the same Anniversary
      Date, "annual additions" will be credited to the Participant's accounts under
      the defined contribution plan subject to Code Section 412 prior to
      crediting "annual additions" to the Participant's accounts under the defined
      contribution plan not subject to Code Section 412.

    

    (3) If
      a
      Participant participates in more than one defined contribution plan not subject
      to Code Section 412 maintained by the Employer which have the same
      Anniversary Date, the maximum "annual additions" under this Plan shall equal
      the
      product of (A) the maximum "annual additions" for the "limitation year"
      minus any "annual additions" previously credited under subparagraphs (1) or
      (2)
      above, multiplied by (B) a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the
      "annual additions" which would be credited to such Participant's accounts under
      this Plan without regard to the limitations of Code Section 415 and
      (ii) the denominator of which is such "annual additions" for all plans
      described in this subparagraph.

    

    (i) Notwithstanding
      anything contained in this Section to the contrary, the limitations, adjustments
      and other requirements prescribed in this Section shall at all times comply
      with
      the provisions of Code Section 415 and the Regulations
      thereunder.

    

    4.10    ADJUSTMENT
      FOR EXCESSIVE ANNUAL ADDITIONS

    

    

    (a) If,
      as a
      result of a reasonable error in estimating a Participant's Compensation, a
      reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals (within the
      meaning of Code Section 402(g)(3)) that may be made with respect to any
      Participant under the limits of Section 4.9 or other facts and
      circumstances to which Regulation 1.415-6(b)(6) shall be applicable, the "annual
      additions" under this Plan would cause the maximum "annual additions" to be
      exceeded for any Participant, the "excess amount" will be disposed of in one
      of
      the following manners, as uniformly determined by the Administrator for all
      Participants similarly situated.

    

    

    (1) Any
      unmatched Deferred Compensation and, thereafter, proportionately from Deferred
      Compensation which is matched and matching contributions which relate to such
      Deferred Compensation, will be reduced to the extent they would reduce the
      "excess amount." The Deferred Compensation (and any gains attributable to such
      Deferred Compensation) will be distributed to the Participant and the Employer
      matching contributions (and any gains attributable to such matching
      contributions) will be used to reduce the Employer contribution in the next
      "limitation year";

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        42

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (2) If,
      after
      the application of subparagraph (1) above, an "excess amount" still exists,
      and
      the Participant is covered by the Plan at the end of the "limitation year,"
      the
      "excess amount" will be used to reduce the Employer contribution for such
      Participant in the next "limitation year," and each succeeding "limitation
      year"
      if necessary;

    

    (3) If,
      after
      the application of subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, an "excess amount" still
      exists, and the Participant is not covered by the Plan at the end of the
      "limitation year," the "excess amount" will be held unallocated in a "Section
      415 suspense account." The "Section 415 suspense account" will be applied to
      reduce future Employer contributions for all remaining Participants in the
      next
      "limitation year," and each succeeding "limitation year" if
      necessary;

    

    (4) If
      a
      "Section 415 suspense account" is in existence at any time during the
      "limitation year" pursuant to this Section, it will not participate in the
      allocation of investment gains and losses of the Trust Fund. If a
      "Section 415 suspense account" is in existence at any time during a
      particular "limitation year," all amounts in the "Section 415 suspense
      account" must be allocated and reallocated to Participants' accounts before
      any
      Employer contributions or any Employee contributions may be made to the Plan
      for
      that "limitation year." Except as provided in (1) above, "excess amounts" may
      not be distributed to Participants or Former Participants.

    

    (b) For
      purposes of this Article, "excess amount" for any Participant for a "limitation
      year" shall mean the excess, if any, of (1) the "annual additions" which
      would be credited to the Participant's account under the terms of the Plan
      without regard to the limitations of Code Section 415 over (2) the
      maximum "annual additions" determined pursuant to Section 4.9.

    

    (c) For
      purposes of this Section, "Section 415 suspense account" shall mean an
      unallocated account equal to the sum of "excess amounts" for all Participants
      in
      the Plan during the "limitation year."

    

    4.11    ROLLOVERS
      AND PLAN-TO-PLAN TRANSFERS FROM QUALIFIED PLANS

    

    

    (a) With
      the
      consent of the Administrator, amounts may be transferred (within the meaning
      of
      Code Section 414(l)) to this Plan from other tax qualified plans under Code
      Section 401(a) by Eligible Employees, provided the trust from which such funds
      are transferred permits the transfer to be made and the transfer will not
      jeopardize the tax exempt status of the Plan or Trust or create adverse tax
      consequences for the Employer. Prior to accepting any transfers to which this
      Section applies, the Administrator may require an opinion of counsel that the
      amounts to be transferred meet the requirements of this Section. The amounts
      transferred shall be set up in a separate account herein referred to as a
      Participant's Transfer/Rollover Account. Furthermore, for vesting purposes,
      the
      Participant's portion of the Participant's Transfer/Rollover Account
      attributable to any transfer shall be subject to
      Section 6.4(b).

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        43

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Except
      as
      permitted by Regulations (including Regulation 1.411(d)-4), amounts attributable
      to elective contributions (as defined in Regulation 1.401(k)-1(g)(3)), including
      amounts treated as elective contributions, which are transferred from another
      qualified plan in a plan-to-plan transfer (other than a direct rollover) shall
      be subject to the distribution limitations provided for in Regulation
      1.401(k)-1(d).

    

    (b) With
      the
      consent of the Administrator, the Plan may accept a "rollover" by Eligible
      Employees, provided the "rollover" will not jeopardize the tax exempt status
      of
      the Plan or create adverse tax consequences for the Employer. Prior to accepting
      any "rollovers" to which this Section applies, the Administrator may require
      the
      Employee to establish (by providing opinion of counsel or otherwise) that the
      amounts to be rolled over to this Plan meet the requirements of this Section.
      The amounts rolled over shall be set up in a separate account herein referred
      to
      as a "Participant's Transfer/Rollover Account." Such account shall be fully
      Vested at all times and shall not be subject to Forfeiture for any
      reason.

    

    For
      purposes of this Section, the term "qualified plan" shall mean any tax qualified
      plan under Code Section 401(a), or, any other plans from which
      distributions are eligible to be rolled over into this Plan pursuant to the
      Code. The term "rollover" means: (i) amounts transferred to this Plan
      directly from another qualified plan; (ii) distributions received by an
      Employee from other "qualified plans" which are eligible for tax-free rollover
      to a "qualified plan" and which are transferred by the Employee to this Plan
      within sixty (60) days following receipt thereof; (iii) amounts transferred
      to this Plan from a conduit individual retirement account provided that the
      conduit individual retirement account has no assets other than assets which
      (A) were previously distributed to the Employee by another "qualified
      plan," (B) were eligible for tax-free rollover to a "qualified plan" and
      (C) were deposited in such conduit individual retirement account within
      sixty (60) days of receipt thereof; (iv) amounts distributed to the
      Employee from a conduit individual retirement account meeting the requirements
      of clause (iii) above, and transferred by the Employee to this Plan within
      sixty (60) days of receipt thereof from such conduit individual retirement
      account; and (v) any other amounts which are eligible to be rolled over to
      this
      Plan pursuant to the Code.

    

    (c) Amounts
      in a Participant's Transfer/Rollover Account shall be held by the Trustee
      pursuant to the provisions of this Plan and may not be withdrawn by, or
      distributed to the Participant, in whole or in part, except as provided in
      paragraph (d) of this Section. The Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility
      to inquire as to the propriety of the amount, value or type of assets
      transferred, nor to conduct any due diligence with respect to such assets;
      provided, however, that such assets are otherwise eligible to be held by the
      Trustee under the terms of this Plan.

    

    (d) The
      Administrator, at the election of the Participant, shall direct the Trustee
      to
      distribute all or a portion of the amount credited to the Participant's
      Transfer/Rollover Account. Any distributions of amounts held in a Participant's
      

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        44

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    Transfer/Rollover
      Account shall be made in a manner
      which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions of Section 6.5,
      including, but not limited to, all notice and consent requirements of Code
      Sections 417 (if applicable) and 411(a)(11) and the Regulations thereunder.
      Furthermore, such amounts shall be considered as part of a Participant's benefit
      in determining whether an involuntary cash-out of benefits may be made without
      Participant consent.

    
 

    (e) The
      Administrator may direct that Employee transfers and rollovers made after a
      Valuation Date be segregated into a separate account for each Participant until
      such time as the allocations pursuant to this Plan have been made, at which
      time
      they may remain segregated or be invested as part of the general Trust Fund
      or
      be directed by the Participant pursuant to Section 4.12.

    

    (f) Notwithstanding
      anything herein to the contrary, a transfer directly to this Plan from another
      qualified plan (or a transaction having the effect of such a transfer) shall
      only be permitted if it will not result in the elimination or reduction of
      any
      "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefit" as described in
      Section 8.1.

    

    4.12    DIRECTED
      INVESTMENT ACCOUNT

    

    

    (a) Participants
      may, subject to a procedure established by the Administrator (the Participant
      Direction Procedures) and applied in a uniform nondiscriminatory manner, direct
      the Trustee, in writing (or in such other form which is acceptable to the
      Trustee), to invest all of their accounts in specific assets, specific funds
      or
      other investments permitted under the Plan and the Participant Direction
      Procedures. That portion of the interest of any Participant so directing will
      thereupon be considered a Participant's Directed Account.

    

    (b) As
      of
      each Valuation Date, all Participant Directed Accounts shall be charged or
      credited with the net earnings, gains, losses and expenses as well as any
      appreciation or depreciation in the market value using publicly listed fair
      market values when available or appropriate as follows:

    

    (1) to
      the
      extent that the assets in a Participant's Directed Account are accounted for
      as
      pooled assets or investments, the allocation of earnings, gains and losses
      of
      each Participant's Directed Account shall be based upon the total amount of
      funds so invested in a manner proportionate to the Participant's share of such
      pooled investment; 

    

    (2) to
      the
      extent that the assets in the Participant's Directed Account are accounted
      for
      as segregated assets, the allocation of earnings, gains and losses from such
      assets shall be made on a separate and distinct basis; and

    

    (3) the
      allocation of expenses shall be made in accordance with Section 2.8
      herein.

    

    (c) Investment
      directions will be processed as soon as administratively practicable after
      proper investment directions are received from the Participant. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        45

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    No
      guarantee is made by the Plan, Employer,
      Administrator or Trustee that investment directions will be processed on a
      daily
      basis, and no guarantee is made in any respect regarding the processing time
      of
      an investment direction. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the
      Employer, Administrator or Trustee reserves the right to not value an investment
      option on any given Valuation Date for any reason deemed appropriate by the
      Employer, Administrator or Trustee. Furthermore, the processing of any
      investment transaction may be delayed for any legitimate business reason
      (including, but not limited to, failure of systems or computer programs, failure
      of the means of the transmission of data, force majeure, the failure of a
      service provider to timely receive values or prices, and correction for errors
      or omissions or the errors or omissions of any service provider). The processing
      date of a transaction will be binding for all purposes of the Plan and
      considered the applicable Valuation Date for an investment
      transaction.

     

    (d) The
      Participant Direction Procedures shall provide an explanation of the
      circumstances under which Participants and their Beneficiaries may give
      investment instructions, including, but need not be limited to, the
      following:

    

    (1) the
      conveyance of instructions by the Participants and their Beneficiaries to invest
      Participant Directed Accounts in Directed Investment Options;

    

    (2) the
      name,
      address and phone number of the Fiduciary (and, if applicable, the person or
      persons designated by the Fiduciary to act on its behalf) responsible for
      providing information to the Participant or a Beneficiary upon request relating
      to the Directed Investment Options;

    

    (3) applicable
      restrictions on transfers to and from any Designated Investment
      Alternative;

    

    (4) any
      restrictions on the exercise of voting, tender and similar rights related to
      a
      Directed Investment Option by the Participants or their
      Beneficiaries;

    

    (5) a
      description of any transaction fees and expenses which affect the balances
      in
      Participant Directed Accounts in connection with the purchase or sale of
      Directed Investment Options; and

    

    (6) general
      procedures for the dissemination of investment and other information relating
      to
      the Designated Investment Alternatives as deemed necessary or appropriate,
      including but not limited to a description of the following:

    

    (i) the
      investment vehicles available under the Plan, including specific information
      regarding any Designated Investment Alternative;

    

    (ii) any
      designated Investment Managers; and

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        46

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (iii) a
      description of the additional information which may be obtained upon request
      from the Fiduciary designated to provide such information.

    

    (e) With
      respect to assets in a Participant's Directed Investment Account, the
      Participant or Beneficiary shall direct the Trustee with regard to any voting,
      tender and similar rights associated with the ownership of such assets,
      (hereinafter referred to as the "Stock Rights") as follows:

    

    

    (1) each
      Participant or Beneficiary shall direct the Trustee to vote or otherwise
      exercise such Stock Rights in accordance with the provisions, conditions and
      terms of any such Stock Rights;

    

    (2) such
      directions shall be provided to the Trustee by the Participant or Beneficiary
      in
      accordance with the procedure as established by the Administrator and the
      Trustee shall vote or otherwise exercise such Stock Rights with respect to
      which
      it has received directions to do so under this Section; and

    

    (3) to
      the
      extent to which a Participant or Beneficiary does not instruct the Trustee
      to
      vote or otherwise exercise such Stock Rights, such Participants or Beneficiaries
      shall be deemed to have directed the Trustee that such Stock Rights remain
      nonvoted and unexercised.

    

    (f) Any
      information regarding investments available under the Plan, to the extent not
      required to be described in the Participant Direction Procedures, may be
      provided to the Participant in one or more written documents (or in any other
      form including, but not limited to, electronic media) which are separate from
      the Participant Direction Procedures and are not thereby incorporated by
      reference into this Plan.

    

    (g) The
      Administrator may, in its discretion, include in or exclude by amendment or
      other action from the Participant Direction Procedures such instructions,
      guidelines or policies as it deems necessary or appropriate to ensure proper
      administration of the Plan, and may interpret the same accordingly.

    VALUATIONS

    

    

    

    5.1    VALUATION
      OF THE TRUST FUND

    

    

    The
      Administrator shall direct the Trustee, as of each Valuation Date, to determine
      the net worth of the assets comprising the Trust Fund as it exists on the
      Valuation 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        47

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Date.
      In determining such net worth, the Trustee shall
      value the assets comprising the Trust Fund at their fair market value (or their
      contractual value in the case of a Contract or Policy) as of the Valuation
      Date
      and shall deduct all expenses for which the Trustee has not yet obtained
      reimbursement from the Employer or the Trust Fund. The Trustee may update the
      value of any shares held in the Participant Directed Account by reference to
      the
      number of shares held by that Participant, priced at the market value as of
      the
      Valuation Date.

     

    5.2    METHOD
      OF
      VALUATION

    

    

    In
      determining the fair market value of securities held in the Trust Fund which
      are
      listed on a registered stock exchange, the Administrator shall direct the
      Trustee to value the same at the prices they were last traded on such exchange
      preceding the close of business on the Valuation Date. If such securities were
      not traded on the Valuation Date, or if the exchange on which they are traded
      was not open for business on the Valuation Date, then the securities shall
      be
      valued at the prices at which they were last traded prior to the Valuation
      Date.
      Any unlisted security held in the Trust Fund shall be valued at its bid price
      next preceding the close of business on the Valuation Date, which bid price
      shall be obtained from a registered broker or an investment banker. In
      determining the fair market value of assets other than securities for which
      trading or bid prices can be obtained, the Trustee may appraise such assets
      itself, or in its discretion, employ one or more appraisers for that purpose
      and
      rely on the values established by such appraiser or appraisers.

    DETERMINATION
      AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

    

    

    
 

    6.1    DETERMINATION
      OF BENEFITS UPON RETIREMENT

    

    

    Every
      Participant may terminate employment with the Employer and retire for the
      purposes hereof on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date or Early Retirement
      Date. However, a Participant may postpone the termination of employment with
      the
      Employer to a later date, in which event the participation of such Participant
      in the Plan, including the right to receive allocations pursuant to
      Section 4.4, shall continue until such Participant's Late Retirement Date.
      Upon a Participant's Retirement Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable,
      the Trustee shall distribute, at the election of the Participant, all amounts
      credited to such Participant's Combined Account in accordance with
      Section 6.5.

    

    6.2    DETERMINATION
      OF BENEFITS UPON DEATH

    

    

    (a) Upon
      the
      death of a Participant before the Participant's Retirement Date or other
      termination of employment, all amounts credited to such Participant's Combined
      Account shall become fully Vested. The Administrator shall direct the Trustee,
      in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.6 and 6.7, to distribute
      the value of the deceased Participant's accounts to the Participant's
      Beneficiary.

    

    (b) Upon
      the
      death of a Former Participant, the Administrator shall direct the Trustee,
      in
      accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.6 and 6.7, to distribute any
      remaining Vested amounts credited to the accounts of a deceased Former
      Participant to such Former Participant's Beneficiary.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        48

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (c) Any
      security interest held by the Plan by reason of an outstanding loan to the
      Participant or Former Participant shall be taken into account in determining
      the
      amount of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity.

    

    (d) The
      Administrator may require such proper proof of death and such evidence of the
      right of any person to receive payment of the value of the account of a deceased
      Participant or Former Participant as the Administrator may deem desirable.
      The
      Administrator's determination of death and of the right of any person to receive
      payment shall be conclusive.

    

    (e) Unless
      otherwise elected in the manner prescribed in Section 6.6, the
      Participant's surviving spouse shall receive a death benefit equal to the
      Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity. The Participant may designate a Beneficiary
      other than the spouse to receive that portion of the Participant's death benefit
      which is not payable as a Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity. The Participant
      may
      also designate a Beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse to receive
      the
      Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity but only if:

    

    (1) the
      Participant and the
      Participant's
      spouse
      have validly waived the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity in the manner prescribed
      in Section 6.6,
      and
      the spouse has waived the right to be the Participant's Beneficiary,
      or

    

    (2) the
      Participant is legally separated or has been abandoned (within the meaning
      of
      local law) and the Participant has a court order to such effect (and there
      is no
      "qualified domestic relations order" as defined in Code Section 414(p)
      which provides otherwise), or

    

    (3) the
      Participant has no spouse, or

    

    (4) the
      spouse cannot be located.

    

    In
      such
      event, the designation of a Beneficiary shall be made on a form satisfactory
      to
      the Administrator. A Participant may at any time revoke a designation of a
      Beneficiary or change a Beneficiary by filing written (or in such other form
      as
      permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) notice of such revocation or change
      with the Administrator. However, the Participant's spouse must again consent
      in
      writing (or in such other form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service)
      to
      any change in Beneficiary of that portion of the death benefit that would
      otherwise be paid as a Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity unless the original
      consent acknowledged that the spouse had the right to limit consent only to
      a
      specific Beneficiary and that the spouse voluntarily elected to relinquish
      such
      right. A Participant may, at any time, designate a Beneficiary to receive death
      benefits that are in excess of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity without
      the
      waiver or consent of the Participant's spouse. 

    

    (f) In
      the
      event no valid designation of Beneficiary exists, or if the Beneficiary is
      not
      alive at the time of the Participant's death, the death benefit will be paid
      in
      the following order of priority to:

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        49

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (1) the
      Participant's surviving spouse;

    

    (2) the
      Participant's children, including adopted children, per stirpes;

    

    (3) the
      Participant's surviving parents, in equal shares; or

    

    (4) the
      Participant's estate.

    

    If
      the
      Beneficiary does not predecease the Participant, but dies prior to distribution
      of the death benefit, the death benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary's
      estate.

    

    (g) Notwithstanding
      anything in this Section to the contrary, if a Participant has designated the
      spouse as a Beneficiary, then a divorce decree or a legal separation that
      relates to such spouse shall revoke the Participant's designation of the spouse
      as a Beneficiary unless the decree or a qualified domestic relations order
      (within the meaning of Code Section 414(p)) provides otherwise.

    

    6.3    DETERMINATION
      OF BENEFITS IN EVENT OF DISABILITY

    

    

    In
      the
      event of a Participant's Total and Permanent Disability prior to the
      Participant's Retirement Date or other termination of employment, all amounts
      credited to such Participant's Combined Account shall become fully Vested.
      In
      the event of a Participant's Total and Permanent Disability, the Administrator,
      in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.5 and 6.7, shall direct the
      distribution to such Participant of all Vested amounts credited to such
      Participant's Combined Account.

    

    6.4    DETERMINATION
      OF BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION

    

    

    (a) If
      a
      Participant's employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason other
      than death, Total and Permanent Disability or retirement, then such Participant
      shall be entitled to such benefits as are provided hereinafter pursuant to
      this
      Section 6.4.

    

    Distribution
      of the funds due to a Terminated Participant shall be made on the occurrence
      of
      an event which would result in the distribution had the Terminated Participant
      remained in the employ of the Employer (upon the Participant's death, Total
      and
      Permanent Disability, Early or Normal Retirement). However, at the election
      of
      the Participant, the Administrator shall direct the Trustee that the entire
      Vested portion of the Terminated Participant's Combined Account be payable
      to
      such Terminated Participant. Any distribution under this paragraph shall be
      made
      in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions of
      Section 6.5, including, but not limited to, all notice and consent
      requirements of Code Sections 417 (if applicable) and 411(a)(11) and the
      Regulations thereunder.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        50

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    If
      the
      value of a Terminated Participant's Vested benefit derived from Employer and
      Employee contributions does not exceed $5,000 ($3,500 for Plan Years beginning
      prior to August 6, 1997), then the Administrator shall direct the Trustee
      to cause the entire Vested benefit to be paid to such Participant in a single
      lump sum.

    

    (b) The
      Vested portion of any Participant's Account shall be a percentage of the total
      amount credited to the Participant's Account determined on the basis of the
      Participant's number of Years of Service according to the following
      schedule:

                of Service

                %

            

    

    

    (c) Notwithstanding
      the vesting schedule above, the Vested percentage of a Participant's Account
      shall not be less than the Vested percentage attained as of the later of the
      effective date or adoption date of this amendment and restatement.

    

    (d) Notwithstanding
      the vesting schedule above, upon the complete discontinuance of the Employer
      contributions to the Plan or upon any full or partial termination of the Plan,
      all amounts then credited to the account of any affected Participant shall
      become 100% Vested and shall not thereafter be subject to
      Forfeiture.

    

    (e) The
      computation of a Participant's nonforfeitable percentage of such Participant's
      interest in the Plan shall not be reduced as the result of any direct or
      indirect amendment to this Plan. In the event that the Plan is amended to change
      or modify any vesting schedule, or if the Plan is amended in any way that
      directly or indirectly affects the computation of the Participant's
      nonforfeitable percentage, or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic
      change to a top heavy vesting schedule, then each Participant with at least
      three (3) Years of Service as of the expiration date of the election period
      may
      elect to have such Participant's nonforfeitable percentage computed under the
      Plan without regard to such amendment or change. If a Participant fails to
      make
      such election, then such Participant shall be subject to the new vesting
      schedule. The Participant's election period shall commence on the adoption
      date
      of the amendment and shall end sixty (60) days after the latest of:

    

    (1) the
      adoption date of the amendment,

    

    (2) the
      effective date of the amendment, or

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        51

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (3) the
      date
      the Participant receives written notice of the amendment from the Employer
      or
      Administrator.

    

    6.5    DISTRIBUTION
      OF BENEFITS

    

    

    (a)(1) Unless
      otherwise elected as provided below, a Participant who is married on the Annuity
      Starting Date and who does not die before the Annuity Starting Date shall
      receive the value of all such Participant's benefits in the form of a joint
      and
      survivor annuity. The joint and survivor annuity is an annuity that commences
      immediately and shall be equal in value to a single life annuity. Such joint
      and
      survivor benefits following the Participant's death shall continue to the spouse
      during the spouse's lifetime at a rate equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
      rate
      at which such benefits were payable to the Participant. This joint and fifty
      percent (50%) survivor annuity shall be considered the designated qualified
      joint and survivor annuity and automatic form of payment for the purposes of
      this Plan. However, the Participant may, without spousal consent, elect to
      receive a smaller annuity benefit with continuation of payments to the spouse
      at
      a rate of seventy-five percent (75%) or one-hundred percent (100%) of the rate
      payable to a Participant during the Participant's lifetime, which alternative
      joint and survivor annuity shall be equal in value to the automatic joint and
      fifty percent (50%) survivor annuity. An unmarried Participant shall receive
      the
      value of such Participant's benefit in the form of a life annuity. Such
      unmarried Participant, however, may elect in writing to waive the life annuity.
      The election must comply with the provisions of this Section as if it were
      an
      election to waive the joint and survivor annuity by a married Participant,
      but
      without the spousal consent requirement. The Participant may elect to have
      any
      annuity provided for in this Section distributed upon the attainment of the
      "earliest retirement age" under the Plan. The "earliest retirement age" is
      the
      earliest date on which, under the Plan, the Participant could elect to receive
      retirement benefits.

    

    (2) Any
      election to waive the joint and survivor annuity must be made by the Participant
      in writing (or in such other form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service)
      during the election period and be consented to in writing (or in such other
      form
      as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) by the Participant's spouse.
      If
      the spouse is legally incompetent to give consent, the spouse's legal guardian,
      even if such guardian is the Participant, may give consent. Such election shall
      designate a Beneficiary (or a form of benefits) that may not be changed without
      spousal consent (unless the consent of the spouse expressly permits designations
      by the Participant without the requirement of further consent by the spouse).
      Such spouse's consent shall be irrevocable and must acknowledge the effect
      of
      such election and be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public.
      Such
      consent shall not be required if it is established to the satisfaction of the
      Administrator that the required consent cannot be obtained because there is
      no
      spouse, the spouse cannot be located, or other circumstances that may be
      prescribed by Regulations. The election made by the Participant and consented
      to
      by such Participant's spouse may be revoked by the Participant in writing (or
      in
      such other form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) without the
      consent of the spouse at any time during the election 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        52

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    period.
      A revocation of a prior election shall cause the
      Participant's benefits to be distributed as a joint and survivor annuity. The
      number of revocations shall not be limited. Any new election must comply with
      the requirements of this paragraph. A former spouse's waiver shall not be
      binding on a new spouse.

     

    (3) The
      election period to waive the joint and survivor annuity shall be the ninety
      (90)
      day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date.

    

    (4) For
      purposes of this Section, spouse or surviving spouse means the spouse or
      surviving spouse of the Participant, provided that a former spouse will be
      treated as the spouse or surviving spouse and a current spouse will not be
      treated as the spouse or surviving spouse to the extent provided under a
      qualified domestic relations order as described in Code Section
      414(p).

    

    (5) With
      regard to the election, the Administrator shall provide to the Participant
      no
      less than thirty (30) days and no more than ninety (90) days before the Annuity
      Starting Date a written (or in such other form as permitted by the Internal
      Revenue Service) explanation of:

    

    (i) the
      terms
      and conditions of the joint and survivor annuity,

    

    (ii) the
      Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the joint
      and survivor annuity,

    

    (iii) the
      right
      of the Participant's spouse to consent to any election to waive the joint and
      survivor annuity, and

    

    (iv) the
      right
      of the Participant to revoke such election, and the effect of such
      revocation.

    

    (6) Notwithstanding
      the above, if the Participant elects (with spousal consent, if applicable)
      to
      waive the requirement that the explanation be provided at least thirty (30)
      days
      before the Annuity Starting Date, the election period shall be extended to
      the
      thirtieth (30th) day after the date on which such explanation is provided to
      the
      Participant, unless the thirty (30) day period is waived pursuant to the
      following provisions.

    

    Any
      distribution provided for in this Section 6.5 may commence less than thirty
      (30) days after the notice required by Code Section 417(a)(3) is given
      provided the following requirements are satisfied:

    

    

    (i) the
      Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right
      to a period of thirty
      (30)
      days
      after receiving the notice to consider whether to waive the joint and survivor
      annuity and to elect (with spousal consent) to a form of distribution other
      than
      a joint and survivor annuity;

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        53

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (ii) the
      Participant is permitted to revoke an affirmative distribution election at
      least
      until the Annuity Starting Date, or, if later, at any time prior to the
      expiration of the seven (7) day period that begins the day after the explanation
      of the joint and survivor annuity is provided to the
      Participant;

    (iii) the
      Annuity Starting Date is after the date that the explanation of the joint and
      survivor annuity is provided to the Participant. However, the Annuity Starting
      Date may be before the date that any affirmative distribution election is made
      by the Participant and before the date that the distribution is permitted to
      commence under (iv) below; and

    

    (iv) distribution
      in accordance with the affirmative election does not commence before the
      expiration of the seven (7) day period that begins the day after the explanation
      of the joint and survivor annuity is provided to the Participant.

    

    (b) In
      the
      event a married Participant duly elects pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) above
      not
      to receive benefits in the form of a joint and survivor annuity, or if such
      Participant is not married, in the form of a life annuity, the Administrator,
      pursuant to the election of the Participant, shall direct the Trustee to
      distribute to a Participant or Beneficiary any amount to which the Participant
      or Beneficiary is entitled under the Plan in one or more of the following
      methods:

    

    (1) One
      lump-sum payment in cash.

    

    (2) Payments
      over a period certain in monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual cash
      installments. In order to provide such installment payments, the Administrator
      may (A) segregate the aggregate amount thereof in a separate, federally
      insured savings account, certificate of deposit in a bank or savings and loan
      association, money market certificate or other liquid short-term security or
      (B) purchase a nontransferable annuity contract for a term certain (with no
      life contingencies) providing for such payment. The period over which such
      payment is to be made shall not extend beyond the Participant's life expectancy
      (or the life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's designated
      Beneficiary).

    

    (3) Purchase
      of or providing an annuity. However, such annuity may not be in any form that
      will provide for payments over a period extending beyond either the life of
      the
      Participant (or the lives of the Participant and the Participant's designated
      Beneficiary) or the life expectancy of the Participant (or the life expectancy
      of the Participant and the Participant's designated Beneficiary).

    

    (4) Partial
      withdrawals.

    

    (c) The
      present value of a Participant's joint and survivor annuity derived from
      Employer and Employee contributions may not be paid without the 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        54

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Participant's
      and the Participant's spouse's written (or
      in such form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) consent if the value
      exceeds $5,000 ($3,500 for Plan Years beginning prior to August 6, 1997)
      and the benefit is "immediately distributable." However, spousal consent is
      not
      required if the distribution will be made in the form of a joint and survivor
      annuity and the benefit is "immediately
      distributable." A benefit is "immediately distributable" if any part of the
      benefit could be distributed to the Participant (or surviving spouse) before
      the
      Participant attains (or would have attained if not deceased) the later of the
      Participant's Normal Retirement Age or age 62. Any
      consent required by this Section 6.5(c) must be obtained not more than
      ninety (90) days before commencement of the distribution and shall be made
      in a
      manner consistent with Section 6.5(a)(2).

     

    If
      the
      value of the Participant's benefit derived from Employer and Employee
      contributions does not exceed $5,000 ($3,500 for Plan Years beginning prior
      to
      August 6, 1997), then the Administrator shall direct the Trustee to
      immediately distribute such benefit in a lump sum without the Participant's
      and
      the Participant's spouse's written consent. No distribution may be made under
      the preceding sentence after the Annuity Starting Date unless the Participant
      and the Participant's spouse consent in writing (or in such form as permitted
      by
      the Internal Revenue Service) to such distribution.

    

    (d) The
      following rules will apply to the consent requirements set forth in subsection
      (c):

    

    (1) No
      consent shall be valid unless the Participant has received a general description
      of the material features and an explanation of the relative values of the
      optional forms of benefit available under the Plan that would satisfy the notice
      requirements of Code Section 417.

    

    (2) The
      Participant must be informed of the right to defer receipt of the distribution.
      If a Participant fails to consent, it shall be deemed an election to defer
      the
      commencement of payment of any benefit. However, any election to defer the
      receipt of benefits shall not apply with respect to distributions which are
      required under Section 6.5(e).

    

    (3) Notice
      of
      the rights specified under this paragraph shall be provided no less than thirty
      (30) days and no more than ninety (90) days before the Annuity Starting
      Date.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, the
      Annuity Starting Date may be a date prior to the date the explanation is
      provided to the Participant if the distribution does not commence until at
      least
      thirty (30) days after such explanation is provided, subject to the waiver
      of
      the thirty (30) day period as provided for in
      Section 6.5(a)(6).

    

    (4) Written
      (or such other form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) consent of
      the
      Participant to the distribution must not be made before the Participant receives
      the notice and must not be made more than ninety (90) days before the Annuity
      Starting Date.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        55

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (5) No
      consent shall be valid if a significant detriment is imposed under the Plan
      on
      any Participant who does not consent to the distribution.

    

    Any
      such
      distribution may commence less than thirty
      (30)
      days,
      subject to Section 6.5(a)(6), after the notice required under Regulation
      1.411(a)-11(c) is given, provided that: (1) the Administrator clearly
      informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at
      least
thirty
      (30)
      days
      after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect
      a
      distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and
      (2) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a
      distribution.

    

    (e) Notwithstanding
      any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the distribution of a Participant's
      benefits, whether under the Plan or through the purchase of an annuity contract,
      shall be made in accordance with the following requirements and shall otherwise
      comply with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations thereunder
      (including Regulation 1.401(a)(9)-2),
      the
      provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference:

    

    (1) A
      Participant's benefits shall be distributed or must begin to be distributed
      not
      later than April 1st of the calendar year following the later of
      (i) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 or
      (ii) the calendar year in which the Participant retires, provided, however,
      that this clause (ii) shall not apply in the case of a Participant who is a
      "five (5) percent owner" at any time during the Plan Year ending with or within
      the calendar year in which such owner attains age 70 1/2. Such
      distributions shall be equal to or greater than any required
      distribution.

    

    Any
      Participant attaining age 70 1/2 in years after 1995 may elect by the
      April 1st of the calendar year following the year in which the Participant
      attained age 70 1/2 (or by December 31, 1997 in the case of a
      Participant attaining age 70 1/2 in 1996), to defer distributions until the
      calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant
      retires.

    

    Alternatively,
      distributions to a Participant must begin no later than the applicable
      April 1st as determined under the preceding paragraph and must be made over
      the life of the Participant (or the lives of the Participant and the
      Participant's designated Beneficiary) or the life expectancy of the Participant
      (or the life expectancies of the Participant and the Participant's designated
      Beneficiary) in accordance with Regulations.

    

    (2) Distributions
      to a Participant and the Participant's Beneficiaries shall only be made in
      accordance with the incidental death benefit requirements of Code
      Section 401(a)(9)(G) and the Regulations thereunder.

    

    (3) Any
      Participant who is not a "five (5) percent owner" and who attains age
      70 1/2 before 1997, but did not retire from employment with the Employer
      before January 1, 1997, may elect to cease distributions, provided that, if
      distribution of benefits are being paid in the form of a qualified joint

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        56

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    and
      survivor annuity within the meaning of Code Section
      417(b), the Participant's election to stop distributions must be consented
      to by
      the person who was the Participant's spouse on the original Annuity Starting
      Date, and the spouse's consent must acknowledge the effect of the election.
      Upon
      recommencement of benefits, the provisions of Section 6.5
      shall
      apply by treating the date of the recommencement as a new Annuity Starting
      Date.
      Additionally, with respect to Participants who die before the new Annuity
      Starting Date, the death benefit shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of
      Section 6.6.

     

    With
      respect to distributions under the Plan made for calendar years beginning on
      or
      after January 1, 2002, the Plan will apply the minimum distribution
      requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) in accordance with the Regulations
      under Code Section 401(a)(9) that were proposed on January 17, 2001,
      notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary. This amendment shall
      continue in effect until the end of the last calendar year beginning before
      the
      effective date of final Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9) or such other
      date specified in guidance published by the Internal Revenue
      Service.

    

    (f) For
      purposes of this Section, the life expectancy of a Participant and a
      Participant's spouse (other than in the case of a life annuity) may, at the
      election of the Participant or the Participant's spouse, be redetermined in
      accordance with Regulations. The election, once made, shall be irrevocable.
      If
      no election is made by the time distributions must commence, then the life
      expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's spouse shall not be subject
      to recalculation. Life expectancy and joint and last survivor expectancy shall
      be computed using the return multiples in Tables V and VI of
      Regulation 1.72-9.

    

    (g) All
      annuity Contracts under this Plan shall be non-transferable when distributed.
      Furthermore, the terms of any annuity Contract purchased and distributed to
      a
      Participant or spouse shall comply with all of the requirements of the
      Plan.

    

    (h) If
      a
      distribution is made to a Participant who has not severed employment and who
      is
      not fully Vested in the Participant's Account and the Participant may increase
      the Vested percentage in such account, then, at any relevant time the
      Participant's Vested portion of the account will be equal to an amount ("X")
      determined by the formula:

    

    X
      equals
      P(AB plus D) - D

    

    For
      purposes of applying the formula: P is the Vested percentage at the relevant
      time, AB is the account balance at the relevant time, and D is the amount of
      distribution.

    

    6.6    DISTRIBUTION
      OF BENEFITS UPON DEATH

    

    

    (a) Unless
      otherwise elected as provided below, a Vested Participant who dies before the
      Annuity Starting Date and who has a surviving spouse shall 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        57

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    have
      the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity paid to the
      surviving spouse. The Participant's spouse may direct that payment of the
      Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity commence within a reasonable period after the
      Participant's death. If the spouse does not so direct, payment of such benefit
      will commence at the time the Participant would have attained the later of
      Normal Retirement Age or age 62. However, the spouse may elect a later
      commencement date. Any distribution to the Participant's spouse shall be subject
      to the rules specified in Section 6.6(g).

    
 

    (b) Any
      election to waive the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity before the Participant's
      death must be made by the Participant in writing (or in such other form as
      permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) during the election period and shall
      require the spouse's irrevocable consent in the same manner provided for in
      Section 6.5(a)(2).
      Further, the spouse's consent must acknowledge the specific nonspouse
      Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nonspouse Beneficiary need
      not
      be acknowledged, provided the consent of the spouse acknowledges that the spouse
      has the right to limit consent only to a specific Beneficiary and that the
      spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish such right.

    

    (c) The
      election period to waive the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity shall begin on
      the
      first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age thirty-five
      (35)
      and end on the date of the Participant's death. An earlier waiver (with spousal
      consent) may be made provided a written (or in such other form as permitted
      by
      the Internal Revenue Service) explanation of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity
      is given to the Participant and such waiver becomes invalid at the beginning
      of
      the Plan Year in which the Participant turns age thirty-five (35). In the event
      a Vested Participant separates from service prior to the beginning of the
      election period, the election period shall begin on the date of such separation
      from service.

    

    (d) With
      regard to the election, the Administrator shall provide each Participant within
      the applicable period, with respect to such Participant (and consistent with
      Regulations), a written (or
      in
      such other form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service)
      explanation of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity containing comparable
      information to that required pursuant to Section 6.5(a)(5). For the
      purposes of this paragraph, the term "applicable period" means, with respect
      to
      a Participant, whichever of the following periods ends last:

    

    

    (1) The
      period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant
      attains age thirty-two (32) and ending with the close of the Plan Year preceding
      the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age thirty-five
      (35);

    

    (2) A
      reasonable period after the individual becomes a Participant;

    

    (3) A
      reasonable period ending after the Plan no longer fully subsidizes the cost
      of
      the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity with respect to the
      Participant;

    

    (4) A
      reasonable period ending after Code Section 401(a)(11) applies to the
      Participant; or

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        58

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (5) A
      reasonable period after separation from service in the case of a Participant
      who
      separates before attaining age thirty-five (35). For this purpose, the
      Administrator must provide the explanation beginning one (1) year before
      the separation from service and ending one (1) year after such separation.
      If such a Participant thereafter returns to employment with the Employer, the
      applicable period for such Participant shall be redetermined.

    

    For
      purposes of applying this Section 6.6(d), a reasonable period ending after
      the
      enumerated events described in paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) is the end of the
      two (2) year period beginning one (1) year prior to the date the
      applicable event occurs, and ending one (1) year after that
      date.

    

    (e) If
      the
      present value of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity derived from Employer
      and
      Employee contributions does not exceed $5,000 ($3,500 for Plan Years beginning
      prior to August 6, 1997), then the Administrator shall direct the immediate
      distribution of the present value of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity to
      the
      Participant's spouse. No distribution may be made under the preceding sentence
      after the Annuity Starting Date unless the spouse consents in writing (or in
      such other form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) to such
      distribution. If the value exceeds $5,000 ($3,500 for Plan Years beginning
      prior
      to August 6, 1997), then an immediate distribution of the entire amount of
      the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity may be made to the surviving spouse,
      provided such surviving spouse consents in writing (or in such other form as
      permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) to such distribution. Any consent
      required under this paragraph must be obtained not more than ninety (90) days
      before commencement of the distribution and shall be made in a manner consistent
      with Section 6.5(a)(2).

    

    

    (f)(1) To
      the
      extent the death benefit is not paid in the form of a Pre-Retirement Survivor
      Annuity, it shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary by either of the
      following methods, as elected by the Participant (or if no election has been
      made prior to the Participant's death, by the Participant's Beneficiary),
      subject to the rules specified in Section 6.6(g):

    

    (i) One
      lump-sum payment in cash.

    

    (ii) Payment
      in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual cash installments over a period
      to
      be determined by the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary. After
      periodic installments commence, the Beneficiary shall have the right to direct
      the Trustee to reduce the period over which such periodic installments shall
      be
      made, and the Trustee shall adjust the cash amount of such periodic installments
      accordingly.

     

    (iii) Partial
      withdrawals.

    
 

    (2) In
      the
      event the death benefit payable pursuant to Section 6.2 is payable in
      installments, then, upon the death of the Participant, the 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        59

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    Administrator
      may direct the Trustee to segregate the
      death benefit into a separate account, and the Trustee shall invest such
      segregated account separately, and the funds accumulated in such account shall
      be used for the payment of the installments.

    
 

    If
      death
      benefits in excess of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity are to be paid to
      the
      surviving spouse, such benefits may be paid pursuant to (1) and (2) above,
      or
      used to purchase an annuity so as to increase the payments made pursuant to
      the
      Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity.

    

    (g) Notwithstanding
      any provision in the Plan to the contrary, distributions upon the death of
      a
      Participant shall be made in accordance with the following requirements and
      shall otherwise comply with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations
      thereunder. If it is determined, pursuant to Regulations, that the distribution
      of a Participant's interest has begun and the Participant dies before the entire
      interest has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest shall
      be
      distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution selected
      pursuant to Section 6.5 as of the date of death. If a Participant dies before
      receiving any distributions of the interest in the Plan or before distributions
      are deemed to have begun pursuant to Regulations, then the death benefit shall
      be distributed to the Participant's Beneficiaries by December 31st of the
      calendar year in which the fifth anniversary of the Participant's date of death
      occurs.

    

    However,
      in the event that the Participant's spouse (determined as of the date of the
      Participant's death) is the designated Beneficiary, then in lieu of the
      preceding rules, distributions must be made over the life of the spouse (or
      over
      a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the spouse) and must
      commence on or before the later of: (1) December 31st of the calendar
      year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died;
      or
      (2) December 31st of the calendar year in which the Participant would
      have attained age 70 1/2. If the surviving spouse dies before distributions
      to such spouse begin, then the 5-year distribution requirement of this Section
      shall apply as if the spouse was the Participant.

    

    (h) For
      purposes of this Section, the life expectancy of a Participant and a
      Participant's spouse (other than in the case of a life annuity) may, at the
      election of the Participant or the Participant's spouse, be redetermined in
      accordance with Regulations. The election, once made, shall be irrevocable.
      If
      no election is made by the time distributions must commence, then the life
      expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's spouse shall not be subject
      to recalculation. Life expectancy and joint and last survivor expectancy shall
      be computed using the return multiples in Tables V and VI of Regulation
      1.72-9.

    

    (i) For
      purposes of this Section, any amount paid to a child of the Participant will
      be
      treated as if it had been paid to the surviving spouse if the amount becomes
      payable to the surviving spouse when the child reaches the age of
      majority.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        60

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    6.7    TIME
      OF
      SEGREGATION OR DISTRIBUTION

    

    

    Except
      as
      limited by Sections 6.5 and 6.6, whenever the Trustee is to make a distribution
      or to commence a series of payments the distribution or series of payments
      may
      be made or begun on such date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. However,
      unless a Former Participant elects in writing to defer the receipt of benefits
      (such election may not result in a death benefit that is more than incidental),
      the payment of benefits shall begin not later than the sixtieth (60th) day
      after
      the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs:
      (a) the date on which the Participant attains the earlier of age 65 or the
      Normal Retirement Age specified herein; (b) the tenth (10th) anniversary of
      the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or
      (c) the date the Participant terminates service with the
      Employer.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the failure of a Participant and, if applicable, the
      Participant's spouse, to consent to a distribution that is "immediately
      distributable" (within the meaning of Section 6.5), shall be deemed to be
      an election to defer the commencement of payment of any benefit sufficient
      to
      satisfy this Section.

    

    6.8    DISTRIBUTION
      FOR MINOR OR INCOMPETENT BENEFICIARY

    

    

    In
      the
      event a distribution is to be made to a minor or incompetent Beneficiary, then
      the Administrator may direct that such distribution be paid to the legal
      guardian, or if none in the case of a minor Beneficiary, to a parent of such
      Beneficiary or a responsible adult with whom the Beneficiary maintains
      residence, or to the custodian for such Beneficiary under the Uniform Gift
      to
      Minors Act or Gift to Minors Act, if such is permitted by the laws of the state
      in which said Beneficiary resides. Such a payment to the legal guardian,
      custodian or parent of a minor Beneficiary shall fully discharge the Trustee,
      Employer, and Plan from further liability on account thereof.

    

    6.9    LOCATION
      OF PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY UNKNOWN

    

    

    In
      the
      event that all, or any portion, of the distribution payable to a Participant
      or
      Beneficiary hereunder shall, at the later of the Participant's attainment of
      age 62 or Normal Retirement Age, remain unpaid solely by reason of the
      inability of the Administrator, after sending a registered letter, return
      receipt requested, to the last known address, and after further diligent effort,
      to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or Beneficiary, the amount
      so
      distributable shall be treated as a Forfeiture pursuant to the Plan.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of a Participant's Vested benefit
      derived from Employer and Employee contributions does not exceed $5,000 ($3,500
      for Plan Years beginning prior to August 6, 1997), then the amount
      distributable may, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, either be
      treated as a Forfeiture, or be paid directly to an individual retirement account
      described in Code Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity
      described in Code Section 408(b) at the time it is determined that the
      whereabouts of the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary cannot be
      ascertained. In the event a Participant or Beneficiary is located subsequent
      to
      the Forfeiture, such benefit shall be restored, first from Forfeitures, if
      any,
      and then from an additional Employer contribution if necessary. However,
      regardless of the preceding, a benefit which is lost by reason of escheat under
      applicable state law is not treated as a Forfeiture for purposes of this Section
      nor as an impermissable forfeiture under the Code.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        61

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    6.10    PRE-RETIREMENT
      DISTRIBUTION

    

    

    Unless
      otherwise provided, at such time as a Participant shall have attained the age
      of
      701⁄2 years, the Administrator, at the election of the Participant who has not
      severed employment with the Employer, shall direct the Trustee to distribute
      all
      or a portion of the amount then credited to the accounts maintained on behalf
      of
      the Participant. However, after attaining age 591⁄2, a Participant who has not
      severed employment with the Employer may elect to receive a distribution from
      his Elective Account. In the event that the Administrator makes such a
      distribution, the Participant shall continue to be eligible to participate
      in
      the Plan on the same basis as any other Employee. Any distribution made pursuant
      to this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 6.5,
      including, but not limited to, all notice and consent requirements of Code
      Sections 417 (if applicable) and 411(a)(11) and the Regulations
      thereunder.

    

    Notwithstanding
      the above, pre-retirement distributions from a Participant's Elective Account
      shall not be permitted prior to the Participant attaining age 59 1/2 except
      as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Plan.

    

    6.11    ADVANCE
      DISTRIBUTION FOR HARDSHIP

    

    

    (a) The
      Administrator, at the election of the Participant, shall direct the Trustee
      to
      distribute to any Participant in any one Plan Year up to the lesser of 100%
      of
      the Participant's Elective Account valued as of the last Valuation Date or
      the
      amount necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need of the
      Participant. Any distribution made pursuant to this Section shall be deemed
      to
      be made as of the first day of the Plan Year or, if later, the Valuation Date
      immediately preceding the date of distribution, and the Participant's Elective
      Account shall be reduced accordingly. Withdrawal under this Section is deemed
      to
      be on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant only
      if the withdrawal is for:

    

    (1) Medical
      expenses described in Code Section 213(d) incurred by the Participant, the
      Participant's spouse, or any of the Participant's dependents (as defined in
      Code
      Section 152) or necessary for these persons to obtain medical care as
      described in Code Section 213(d);

    

    (2) The
      costs
      directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal
      residence for the Participant;

    

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

    

    (4) Payments
      necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the Participant's
      principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that
      residence.

    

    (b) No
      distribution shall be made pursuant to this Section unless the Administrator,
      based upon the Participant's representation and such other facts as 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        62

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    are
      known to the Administrator, determines that all of
      the following conditions are satisfied:

     

    (1) The
      distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial
      need of the Participant. The amount of the immediate and heavy financial need
      may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income
      taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the
      distribution;

    

    (2) The
      Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions,
      and all nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans currently available under
      all
      plans maintained by the Employer;

    

    (3) The
      Plan,
      and all other plans maintained by the Employer, provide that the Participant's
      elective deferrals and after-tax voluntary Employee contributions will be
      suspended for at least twelve (12) months after receipt of the hardship
      distribution or, the Participant, pursuant to a legally enforceable agreement,
      will suspend elective deferrals and after-tax voluntary Employee contributions
      to the Plan and all other plans maintained by the Employer for at least twelve
      (12) months after receipt of the hardship distribution; and

    

    (4) The
      Plan,
      and all other plans maintained by the Employer, provide that the Participant
      may
      not make elective deferrals for the Participant's taxable year immediately
      following the taxable year of the hardship distribution in excess of the
      applicable limit under Code Section 402(g) for such next taxable year less
      the amount of such Participant's elective deferrals for the taxable year of
      the
      hardship distribution.

    

    (c) Notwithstanding
      the above, distributions from the Participant's Elective Account pursuant to
      this Section shall be limited, as of the date of distribution, to the
      Participant's Elective Account as of the end of the last Plan Year ending before
      July 1, 1989, plus the total Participant's Deferred Compensation after such
      date, reduced by the amount of any previous distributions pursuant to this
      Section and Section 6.10.

    

    (d) Any
      distribution made pursuant to this Section shall be made in a manner which
      is
      consistent with and satisfies the provisions of Section 6.5, including, but
      not
      limited to, all notice and consent requirements of Code Sections 417 (if
      applicable) and 411(a)(11) and the Regulations thereunder.

    

    6.12    QUALIFIED
      DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER DISTRIBUTION

    

    

    All
      rights and benefits, including elections, provided to a Participant in this
      Plan
      shall be subject to the rights afforded to any "alternate payee" under a
      "qualified domestic relations order." Furthermore, a distribution to an
      "alternate payee" shall be permitted if such distribution is authorized by
      a
      "qualified domestic relations order," even if the affected Participant has
      not
      separated from service and has not reached the "earliest retirement age" under

    the
      Plan. For the purposes of this Section, "alternate
      payee," "qualified domestic relations order" and "earliest retirement age"
      shall
      have the meaning set forth under Code Section 414(p).

     

    6.13    QUALIFIED
      DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER DISTRIBUTION

     

    The
      provisions of this Section 6.13 apply to a Participant who elects a form of
      distribution other than an annuity form of distribution. The provisions of
      Sections 6.2, 6.5 and 6.6 will apply if the Participant elects an annuity form
      of distribution. 

    

    (a)  If
      the
      Participant does not elect an annuity form of distribution, the Joint and
      Survivor Annuity provision of Section 6.5 shall not apply.

     

    (b)  Notwithstanding
      anything in Sections 6.2 and 6.6 to the contrary, upon the death of a
      Participant, the automatic form of distribution will be a lump-sum rather than
      a
      Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity. Furthermore, the Participant’s spouse
      will be the Beneficiary of the Participant’s entire Vested interest in the Plan
      unless an election is made to waive the spouse as Beneficiary. The other
      provisions in Section 6.2 shall be applied by treating the death benefit in
      this
      subsection as though it is a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor
      Annuity.

    

    (c)  Except
      to
      the extent otherwise provided in this Section, the provisions of Sections 6.2,
      6.5 and 6.6 regarding spousal consent shall be inoperative with respect to
      this
      Plan.

    

    (d)  If
      a
      distribution is one to which Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply,
      such
      distribution may commence less than thirty (30) days after the notice required
      under Regulation 1.411(a)-11(c) is given, provided that:

    

    (1)  The
      Plan
      Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right
      to a period of at least thirty (30) days after the notice to consider the
      decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a
      particular distribution option), and

    

    (2)  The
      Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a
      distribution.

    7.1    BASIC
      RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEE

    

    

    (a) The
      Trustee shall have the following categories of responsibilities:

    

    (1) Consistent
      with the "funding policy and method" determined by the Employer, to invest,
      manage, and control the Plan assets subject, however, to the direction of a
      Participant with respect to Participant 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        64

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    Directed
      Accounts, the Employer or an Investment Manager
      appointed by the Employer or any agent of the Employer;

    
 

    (2) At
      the
      direction of the Administrator, to pay benefits required under the Plan to
      be
      paid to Participants, or, in the event of their death, to their Beneficiaries;
      and

    

    (3) To
      maintain records of receipts and disbursements and furnish to the Employer
      and/or Administrator for each Plan Year a written annual report pursuant to
      Section 7.7.

    

    (b) In
      the
      event that the Trustee shall be directed by a Participant (pursuant to the
      Participant Direction Procedures), or the Employer, or an Investment Manager
      or
      other agent appointed by the Employer with respect to the investment of any
      or
      all Plan assets, the Trustee shall have no liability with respect to the
      investment of such assets, but shall be responsible only to execute such
      investment instructions as so directed.

    

    (1) The
      Trustee shall be entitled to rely fully on the written (or other form acceptable
      to the Administrator and the Trustee, including, but not limited to, voice
      recorded) instructions of a Participant (pursuant to the Participant Direction
      Procedures), or the Employer, or any Fiduciary or nonfiduciary agent of the
      Employer, in the discharge of such duties, and shall not be liable for any
      loss
      or other liability, resulting from such direction (or lack of direction) of
      the
      investment of any part of the Plan assets.

    

    (2) The
      Trustee may delegate the duty of executing such instructions to any nonfiduciary
      agent, which may be an affiliate of the Trustee or any Plan
      representative.

    

    (3) The
      Trustee may refuse to comply with any direction from the Participant in the
      event the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems such directions
      improper by virtue of applicable law. The Trustee shall not be responsible
      or
      liable for any loss or expense which may result from the Trustee's refusal
      or
      failure to comply with any directions from the Participant.

    

    (4) Any
      costs
      and expenses related to compliance with the Participant's directions shall
      be
      borne by the Participant's Directed Account, unless paid by the
      Employer.

    

    (c) If
      there
      shall be more than one Trustee, they shall act by a majority of their number,
      but may authorize one or more of them to sign papers on their
      behalf.

    7.2    INVESTMENT
      POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE

    

    

    (a) The
      Trustee shall invest and reinvest the Trust Fund to keep the Trust Fund invested
      without distinction between principal and income and in such securities or
      property, real or personal, wherever situated, as the Trustee shall deem
      advisable, including, but not limited to, stocks, common or preferred, open-end
      or closed-end mutual funds, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness or
      ownership, and real estate or any interest therein. The Trustee shall at all
      times in making investments of the Trust Fund consider, among other factors,
      the
      short and long-term financial needs of the Plan on the basis of information
      furnished by the Employer. In making such investments, the Trustee shall not
      be
      restricted to securities or other property of the character expressly authorized
      by the applicable law for trust investments; however, the Trustee shall give
      due
      regard to any limitations imposed by the Code or the Act so that at all times
      the Plan may qualify as a qualified Profit Sharing Plan and Trust.

    

    (b) The
      Trustee may employ a bank or trust company pursuant to the terms of its usual
      and customary bank agency agreement, under which the duties of such bank or
      trust company shall be of a custodial, clerical and record-keeping
      nature.

    

    (c) The
      Trustee may transfer to a common, collective, pooled trust fund or money market
      fund maintained by any corporate Trustee or affiliate thereof hereunder, all
      or
      such part of the Trust Fund as the Trustee may deem advisable, and such part
      or
      all of the Trust Fund so transferred shall be subject to all the terms and
      provisions of the common, collective, pooled trust fund or money market fund
      which contemplate the commingling for investment purposes of such trust assets
      with trust assets of other trusts. The Trustee may transfer any part of the
      Trust Fund intended for temporary investment of cash balances to a money market
      fund maintained by Reliance Trust Company or its affiliates. The Trustee may
      withdraw from such common, collective, pooled trust fund or money market fund
      all or such part of the Trust Fund as the Trustee may deem
      advisable.

    

    7.3    OTHER
      POWERS OF THE TRUSTEE

    

    

    The
      Trustee, in addition to all powers and authorities under common law, statutory
      authority, including the Act, and other provisions of the Plan, shall have
      the
      following powers and authorities, to be exercised in the Trustee's sole
      discretion:

    

    (a) To
      purchase, or subscribe for, any securities or other property and to retain
      the
      same. In conjunction with the purchase of securities, margin accounts may be
      opened and maintained;

    

    (b) To
      sell,
      exchange, convey, transfer, grant options to purchase, or otherwise dispose
      of

      at
      public auction. No person dealing with the Trustee shall be bound to see to
      the
      application of the purchase money or to inquire into the validity, expediency,
      or propriety of any such sale or other disposition, with or without
      advertisement;

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        66

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (c) To
      vote
      upon any stocks, bonds, or other securities; to give general or special proxies

      participate in, corporate reorganizations or other changes affecting corporate

      or
      charges in connection therewith; and generally to exercise any of the powers
      of
      an owner with respect to stocks, bonds, securities, or other property. However,
      the Trustee shall not vote proxies relating to securities for which it has
      not
      been assigned full investment management responsibilities. In those cases where
      another party has such investment authority or discretion, the Trustee will
      deliver all proxies to said party who will then have full responsibility for
      voting those proxies;

    

    (d) To
      cause
      any securities or other property to be registered in the Trustee's own name,
      in
      the name of one or more of the Trustee's nominees, in a clearing corporation,
      in
      a depository, or in book entry form or in bearer form, but the books and records
      of the Trustee shall at all times show that all such investments are part of
      the
      Trust Fund;

    

    (e) To

      borrowed, to issue a promissory note as Trustee, and to secure the repayment
      thereof by pledging all, or any part, of the Trust Fund; and no person lending
      money to the Trustee shall be bound to see to the application of the money
      lent
      or to inquire into the validity, expediency, or propriety of any
      borrowing;

    

    (f) To
      keep
      such portion of the Trust Fund in cash or cash balances as the Trustee may,
      from
      time to time, deem to be in the best interests of the Plan, without liability
      for interest thereon;

    

    (g) To
      accept
      and retain for such time as the Trustee may deem advisable any securities or
      other property received or acquired as Trustee hereunder, whether or not such
      securities or other property would normally be purchased as investments
      hereunder;

    

    (h) To
      make,
      execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all documents of transfer and

      and
      administrative proceedings;

    (j) To
      employ
      suitable agents and counsel and to pay their reasonable expenses and
      compensation, and such agent or counsel may or may not be agent or counsel
      for
      the Employer;

      privileges may be granted under such annuity, or other Contracts; to collect,

    (s) To

    7.4    LOANS
      TO
      PARTICIPANTS

    

    

    (a) The
      Trustee may, in the Trustee's discretion, make loans to Participants and
      Beneficiaries under the following circumstances: (1) loans shall be made
      available to all Participants and Beneficiaries on a reasonably equivalent
      basis; (2) loans shall not be made available to Highly Compensated
      Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to other
      Participants and Beneficiaries; (3) loans shall bear a reasonable rate of
      interest; (4) loans shall be adequately secured; and (5) loans shall
      provide for periodic repayment over a reasonable period of time.

    

    (b) Loans
      made pursuant to this Section (when added to the outstanding balance of all
      other loans made by the Plan to the Participant) may, in accordance with a
      uniform and nondiscriminatory policy established by the Administrator, be
      limited to the lesser of:

    

    (1) $50,000
      reduced by the excess (if any) of the highest outstanding balance of loans
      from
      the Plan to the Participant during the one year period ending on the day before
      the date on which such loan is made, over the outstanding balance of loans
      from
      the Plan to the Participant on the date on which such loan was made,
      or

    

    (2) one-half
      (1/2) of the present value of the non-forfeitable accrued benefit of the
      Participant under the Plan.

    

    For
      purposes of this limit, all plans of the Employer shall be considered one plan.
      Additionally, with respect to any loan made prior to January 1, 1987, the
      $50,000 limit specified in (1) above shall be unreduced.

    

    (c) Loans
      shall provide for level amortization with payments to be made not less
      frequently than quarterly over a period not to exceed five (5) years. However,
      loans used to acquire any dwelling unit which, within a reasonable time, is
      to
      be used (determined at the time the loan is made) as a "principal residence"
      of
      the Participant shall provide for periodic repayment over a reasonable period
      of
      time that may exceed five (5) years. For this purpose, a "principal residence"
      has the same meaning as a "principal residence" under Code Section 1034. Loan
      repayments may be suspended under this Plan as permitted under Code Section
      414(u)(4).

    

    (d) Any
      loan
      made pursuant to this Section after August 18, 1985 where the Vested interest
      of
      the Participant is used to secure such loan shall require the written (or such
      other form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service) consent of the
      Participant's spouse in a manner consistent with Section 6.5(a)(1). Such
      written (or such other form as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service)
      consent must be obtained within the ninety (90) day period 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        69

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    prior
      to the date the loan is made. However, no spousal
      consent shall be required under this paragraph if the total accrued benefit
      subject to the security is not in excess of $5,000 ($3,500 for Plan Years
      beginning prior to August 6, 1997).

     

    (e) Any
      loans
      granted or renewed shall be made pursuant to a Participant loan program. Such
      loan program shall be established in writing and must include, but need not
      be
      limited to, the following:

    

    (1) the
      identity of the person or positions authorized to administer the Participant
      loan program;

    

    (2) a
      procedure for applying for loans;

    

    (3) the
      basis
      on which loans will be approved or denied;

    

    (4) limitations,
      if any, on the types and amounts of loans offered;

    

    (5) the
      procedure under the program for determining a reasonable rate of
      interest;

    

    (6) the
      types
      of collateral which may secure a Participant loan; and

    

    (7) the
      events constituting default and the steps that will be taken to preserve Plan
      assets.

    

    Such
      Participant loan program shall be contained in a separate written document
      which, when properly executed, is hereby incorporated by reference and made
      a
      part of the Plan. Furthermore, such Participant loan program may be modified
      or
      amended in writing from time to time without the necessity of amending this
      Section.

    

    (f) Notwithstanding
      anything in this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant or Beneficiary defaults
      on a loan made pursuant to this Section, then the loan default will be a
      distributable event to the extent permitted by the Code and
      Regulations.

    

    (g) Notwithstanding
      anything in this Section to the contrary, any loans made prior to the date
      this
      amendment and restatement is adopted shall be subject to the terms of the plan
      in effect at the time such loan was made.

    

    7.5    DUTIES
      OF
      THE TRUSTEE REGARDING PAYMENTS

    

    

    At
      the
      direction of the Administrator, the Trustee shall, from time to time, in
      accordance with the terms of the Plan, make payments out of the Trust Fund.
      The
      Trustee shall not be responsible in any way for the application of such
      payments.

    7.6    TRUSTEE'S
      COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES AND TAXES

    

    

    The
      Trustee shall be paid such reasonable compensation as set forth in the Trustee's
      fee schedule (if the Trustee has such a schedule) or as agreed upon in writing
      by the Employer and the Trustee. However, an individual serving as Trustee
      who
      already receives full-time pay from the Employer shall not receive compensation
      from the Plan. In addition, the Trustee shall be reimbursed for any reasonable
      expenses, including reasonable counsel fees incurred by it as Trustee. Such
      compensation and expenses shall be paid from the Trust Fund unless paid or
      advanced by the Employer. All taxes of any kind whatsoever that may be levied
      or
      assessed under existing or future laws upon, or in respect of, the Trust Fund
      or
      the income thereof, shall be paid from the Trust Fund.

    

    7.7    ANNUAL
      REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE

    

    

    (a) Within
      a
      reasonable period of time after the later of the Anniversary Date or receipt
      of
      the Employer contribution for each Plan Year, the Trustee, or its agent, shall
      furnish to the Employer and Administrator a written statement of account with
      respect to the Plan Year for which such contribution was made setting
      forth:

    

    (1) the
      net
      income, or loss, of the Trust Fund;

    

    (2) the
      gains, or losses, realized by the Trust Fund upon sales or other disposition
      of
      the assets;

    

    (3) the
      increase, or decrease, in the value of the Trust Fund;

    

    (4) all
      payments and distributions made from the Trust Fund; and

    

    (5) such
      further information as the Trustee and/or Administrator deems
      appropriate.

    

    (b) The
      Employer, promptly upon its receipt of each such statement of account, shall
      acknowledge receipt thereof in writing and advise the Trustee and/or
      Administrator of its approval or disapproval thereof. Failure by the Employer
      to
      disapprove any such statement of account within thirty (30) days after its
      receipt thereof shall be deemed an approval thereof. The approval by the
      Employer of any statement of account shall be binding on the Employer and the
      Trustee as to all matters contained in the statement to the same extent as
      if
      the account of the Trustee had been settled by judgment or decree in an action
      for a judicial settlement of its account in a court of competent jurisdiction
      in
      which the Trustee, the Employer and all persons having or claiming an interest
      in the Plan were parties. However, nothing contained in this Section shall
      deprive the Trustee of its right to have its accounts judicially settled if
      the
      Trustee so desires.

    

    7.8    AUDIT

    

    

    (a) If
      an
      audit of the Plan's records shall be required by the Act and the regulations
      thereunder for any Plan Year, the Administrator shall direct the 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        71

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Trustee
      to engage on behalf of all Participants an
      independent qualified public accountant for that purpose. Such accountant shall,
      after an audit of the books and records of the Plan in accordance with generally
      accepted auditing standards, within a reasonable period after the close of
      the
      Plan Year, furnish to the Administrator and the Trustee a report of the audit
      setting forth the accountant's opinion as to whether any statements, schedules
      or lists that are required by Act Section 103 or the Secretary of Labor to
      be
      filed with the Plan's annual report, are presented fairly in conformity with
      generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently.

     

    (b) All
      auditing and accounting fees shall be an expense of and may, at the election
      of
      the Employer, be paid from the Trust Fund.

    

    (c) If
      some
      or all of the information necessary to enable the Administrator to comply with
      Act Section 103 is maintained by a bank, insurance company, or similar
      institution, regulated, supervised, and subject to periodic examination by
      a
      state or federal agency, then it shall transmit and certify the accuracy of
      that
      information to the Administrator as provided in Act Section 103(b) within one
      hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the Plan Year or such other date
      as
      may be prescribed under regulations of the Secretary of Labor.

    

    7.9    RESIGNATION,
      REMOVAL AND SUCCESSION OF TRUSTEE

    

    

    (a) Unless
      otherwise agreed to by both the Trustee and the Employer, a Trustee may resign
      at any time by delivering to the Employer, at least thirty (30) days before
      its
      effective date, a written notice of resignation.

    

    (b) Unless
      otherwise agreed to by both the Trustee and the Employer, the Employer may
      remove a Trustee at any time by delivering to the Trustee, at least thirty
      (30)
      days before its effective date, a written notice of such Trustee's
      removal.

    

    (c) Upon
      the
      death, resignation, incapacity, or removal of any Trustee, a successor may
      be
      appointed by the Employer; and such successor, upon accepting such appointment
      in writing and delivering same to the Employer, shall, without further act,
      become vested with all the powers and responsibilities of the predecessor as
      if
      such successor had been originally named as a Trustee herein. Until such a
      successor is appointed, the remaining Trustee or Trustees shall have full
      authority to act under the terms of the Plan.

    

    (d) The
      Employer may designate one or more successors prior to the death, resignation,
      incapacity, or removal of a Trustee. In the event a successor is so designated
      by the Employer and accepts such designation, the successor shall, without
      further act, become vested with all the powers and responsibilities of the
      predecessor as if such successor had been originally named as Trustee herein
      immediately upon the death, resignation, incapacity, or removal of the
      predecessor.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        72

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (e) Whenever
      any Trustee hereunder ceases to serve as such, the Trustee shall furnish to
      the
      Employer and Administrator a written statement of account with respect to the
      portion of the Plan Year during which the individual or entity served as
      Trustee. This statement shall be either (i) included as part of the annual
      statement of account for the Plan Year required under Section 7.7 or
      (ii) set forth in a special statement. Any such special statement of
      account should be rendered to the Employer no later than the due date of the
      annual statement of account for the Plan Year. The procedures set forth in
      Section 7.7 for the approval by the Employer of annual statements of account
      shall apply to any special statement of account rendered hereunder and approval
      by the Employer of any such special statement in the manner provided in Section
      7.7 shall have the same effect upon the statement as the Employer's approval
      of
      an annual statement of account. No successor to the Trustee shall have any
      duty
      or responsibility to investigate the acts or transactions of any predecessor
      who
      has rendered all statements of account required by Section 7.7 and this
      subparagraph.

    

    7.10    TRANSFER
      OF INTEREST

    

    

    Notwithstanding
      any other provision contained in this Plan, the Trustee at the direction of
      the
      Administrator shall transfer the Vested interest, if any, of a Participant
      to
      another trust forming part of a pension, profit sharing or stock bonus plan
      maintained by such Participant's new employer and represented by said employer
      in writing as meeting the requirements of Code Section 401(a), provided
      that the trust to which such transfers are made permits the transfer to be
      made.

    

    7.11    TRUSTEE
      INDEMNIFICATION

    

    

    The
      Employer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against any and
      all
      claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities the Trustee may incur in
      the
      exercise and performance of the Trustee's power and duties hereunder, unless
      the
      same are determined to be due to gross negligence or willful
      misconduct.

    

    7.12    DIRECT
      ROLLOVER

    

    

    (a) Notwithstanding
      any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a
      "distributee's" election under this Section, a "distributee" may elect, at
      the
      time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any portion
      of
      an "eligible rollover distribution" that is equal to at least $500 paid directly
      to an "eligible retirement plan" specified by the "distributee" in a "direct
      rollover."

    

    (b) For
      purposes of this Section the following definitions shall apply:

    

    (1) An
      "eligible rollover distribution" is any distribution of all or any portion
      of
      the balance to the credit of the "distributee," except that an "eligible
      rollover distribution" does not include: 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 "distributee" or the
      joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        73

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    "distributee"
      and the "distributee's" designated
      beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution
      to
      the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); the
      portion of any other distribution that is not includible in gross income
      (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation
      with
      respect to employer securities); any hardship distribution described in Code
      Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV); and any other distribution that is reasonably
      expected to total less than $200 during a year.

    
 

    (2) An
      "eligible retirement plan" is an individual retirement account described in
      Code
      Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code
      Section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), or a
      qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a), that accepts the
      "distributee's" "eligible rollover distribution." However, in the case of an
      "eligible rollover distribution" to the surviving spouse, an "eligible
      retirement plan" is an individual retirement account or individual retirement
      annuity.

    

    (3) A
      "distributee" includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the
      Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse and the Employee's or former
      Employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified
      domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), are
      "distributees" with regard to the interest of the spouse or former
      spouse.

    

    (4) A
      "direct
      rollover" is a payment by the Plan to the "eligible retirement plan" specified
      by the "distributee."

    

    7.13    EMPLOYER
      SECURITIES AND REAL PROPERTY

    

    

    The
      Trustee shall be empowered to acquire and hold "qualifying Employer securities"
      and "qualifying Employer real property," as those terms are defined in the
      Act,
      provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be permitted to acquire any
      "qualifying Employer securities" or "qualifying Employer real property" if,
      immediately after the acquisition of such securities or property, the fair
      market value of all "qualifying Employer securities" and "qualifying Employer
      real property" held by the Trustee hereunder should amount to more than 100%
      of
      the fair market value of all the assets in the Trust Fund.

    AMENDMENT,
      TERMINATION AND MERGERS

    

    

    

    8.1    AMENDMENT

    

    (a) The
      Employer shall have the right at any time to amend this Plan, subject to the
      limitations of this Section. However, any amendment which affects the rights,
      duties or responsibilities of the Trustee or Administrator may only be made
      with
      the Trustee's or Administrator's written consent. Any such amendment shall
      become effective as provided therein upon its execution. The Trustee shall
      

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        74

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    not
      be required to execute any such amendment unless the
      amendment affects the duties of the Trustee hereunder.

     

    (b) No
      amendment to the Plan shall be effective if it authorizes or permits any part
      of
      the Trust Fund (other than such part as is required to pay taxes and
      administration expenses) to be used for or diverted to any purpose other than
      for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries or estates;
      or causes any reduction in the amount credited to the account of any
      Participant; or causes or permits any portion of the Trust Fund to revert to
      or
      become property of the Employer.

    

    (c) Except
      as
      permitted by Regulations (including Regulation 1.411(d)-4) or other
      IRS
      guidance, no Plan amendment or transaction having the effect of a Plan amendment
      (such as a merger, plan transfer or similar transaction) shall be effective
      if
      it eliminates or reduces any "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefit" or adds
      or
      modifies conditions relating to "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits" which
      results in a further restriction on such benefits unless such "Section 411(d)(6)
      protected benefits" are preserved with respect to benefits accrued as of the
      later of the adoption date or effective date of the amendment. "Section
      411(d)(6) protected benefits" are benefits described in Code Section
      411(d)(6)(A), early retirement benefits and retirement-type subsidies, and
      optional forms of benefit. A Plan amendment that eliminates or restricts the
      ability of a Participant to receive payment of the Participant's interest in
      the
      Plan under a particular optional form of benefit will be permissible if the
      amendment satisfies the conditions in (1) and (2) below:

    

    (1) The
      amendment provides a single-sum distribution form that is otherwise identical
      to
      the optional form of benefit eliminated or restricted. For purposes of this
      condition (1), a single-sum distribution form is otherwise identical only if
      it
      is identical in all respects to the eliminated or restricted optional form
      of
      benefit (or would be identical except that it provides greater rights to the
      Participant) except with respect to the timing of payments after
      commencement.

    

    (2) The
      amendment is not effective unless the amendment provides that the amendment
      shall not apply to any distribution with an Annuity Starting Date earlier than
      the earlier of: (i) the ninetieth (90th) day after the date the Participant
      receiving the distribution has been furnished a summary that reflects the
      amendment and that satisfies the Act requirements at 29 CFR 2520.104b-3
      (relating to a summary of material modifications) or (ii) the first day of
      the
      second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the amendment is adopted.
      

    

    8.2    TERMINATION

    

    

    (a) The
      Employer shall have the right at any time to terminate the Plan by delivering
      to
      the Trustee and Administrator written notice of such termination. Upon any
      full
      or partial termination, all amounts credited to the affected Participants'
      Combined Accounts shall become 100% Vested as provided in 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        75

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    Section
      6.4 and shall not thereafter be subject to
      forfeiture, and all unallocated amounts, including Forfeitures, shall be
      allocated to the accounts of all Participants in accordance with the provisions
      hereof.

    

    (b) Upon
      the
      full termination of the Plan, the Employer shall direct the distribution of
      the
      assets of the Trust Fund to Participants in a manner which is consistent with
      and satisfies the provisions of Section 6.5. Distributions to a Participant
      shall be made in cash or through the purchase of irrevocable nontransferable
      deferred commitments from an insurer. Except as permitted by Regulations, the
      termination of the Plan shall not result in the reduction of
      "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits" in accordance with Section
      8.1(c).

    

    8.3    MERGER,
      CONSOLIDATION OR TRANSFER OF ASSETS

    

    

    This
      Plan
      and Trust may be merged or consolidated with, or its assets and/or liabilities
      may be transferred to any other plan and trust only if the benefits which would
      be received by a Participant of this Plan, in the event of a termination of
      the
      Plan immediately after such transfer, merger or consolidation, are at least
      equal to the benefits the Participant would have received if the Plan had
      terminated immediately before the transfer, merger or consolidation, and such
      transfer, merger or consolidation does not otherwise result in the elimination
      or reduction of any "Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits" in accordance
      with Section 8.1(c).

    9.1    TOP
      HEAVY
      PLAN REQUIREMENTS

    

    

    For
      any
      Top Heavy Plan Year, the Plan shall provide the special vesting requirements
      of
      Code Section 416(b) pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Plan and the special
      minimum allocation requirements of Code Section 416(c) pursuant to Section
      4.4 of the Plan.

    

    9.2    DETERMINATION
      OF TOP HEAVY STATUS

    

    

    (a) This
      Plan
      shall be a Top Heavy Plan for any Plan Year in which, as of the Determination
      Date, (1) the Present Value of Accrued Benefits of Key Employees and
      (2) the sum of the Aggregate Accounts of Key Employees under this Plan and
      all plans of an Aggregation Group, exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the Present
      Value of Accrued Benefits and the Aggregate Accounts of all Key and Non-Key
      Employees under this Plan and all plans of an Aggregation Group.

    

    If
      any
      Participant is a Non-Key Employee for any Plan Year, but such Participant was
      a
      Key Employee for any prior Plan Year, such Participant's Present Value of
      Accrued Benefit and/or Aggregate Account balance shall not be taken into account
      for purposes of determining whether this Plan is a Top Heavy Plan (or whether
      any Aggregation Group which includes this Plan is a Top Heavy Group). In
      addition, if a Participant or Former Participant has not performed any services
      for any Employer maintaining the Plan at any time during the five year period
      ending on the Determination Date, any accrued benefit for such Participant
      

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        76

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    or
      Former Participant shall not be taken into account
      for the purposes of determining whether this Plan is a Top Heavy
      Plan.

     

    (b) Aggregate
      Account: A Participant's Aggregate Account as of the Determination Date is
      the
      sum of:

    

    (1) the
      Participant's Combined Account balance as of the most recent valuation occurring
      within a twelve (12) month period ending on the Determination Date.

    

    (2) an
      adjustment for any contributions due as of the Determination Date. Such
      adjustment shall be the amount of any contributions actually made after the
      Valuation Date but due on or before the Determination Date, except for the
      first
      Plan Year when such adjustment shall also reflect the amount of any
      contributions made after the Determination Date that are allocated as of a
      date
      in that first Plan Year.

    

    (3) any
      Plan
      distributions made within the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date
      or
      within the four (4) preceding Plan Years. However, in the case of distributions
      made after the Valuation Date and prior to the Determination Date, such
      distributions are not included as distributions for top heavy purposes to the
      extent that such distributions are already included in the Participant's
      Aggregate Account balance as of the Valuation Date. Notwithstanding anything
      herein to the contrary, all distributions, including distributions under a
      terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required
      to
      be included in an Aggregation Group, will be counted. Further, distributions
      from the Plan (including the cash value of life insurance policies) of a
      Participant's account balance because of death shall be treated as a
      distribution for the purposes of this paragraph.

    

    (4) any
      Employee contributions, whether voluntary or mandatory. However, amounts
      attributable to tax deductible qualified voluntary employee contributions shall
      not be considered to be a part of the Participant's Aggregate Account
      balance.

    

    (5) with
      respect to unrelated rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (ones which are both
      initiated by the Employee and made from a plan maintained by one employer to
      a
      plan maintained by another employer), if this Plan provides the rollovers or
      plan-to-plan transfers, it shall always consider such rollovers or plan-to-plan
      transfers as a distribution for the purposes of this Section. If this Plan
      is
      the plan accepting such rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers, it shall not
      consider such rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers as part of the Participant's
      Aggregate Account balance.

    

    (6) with
      respect to related rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (ones either not
      initiated by the Employee or made to a plan maintained by the same employer),
      if
      this Plan provides the rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, it shall not be
      counted as a distribution for purposes of this Section. If this 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        77

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    Plan
      is the plan accepting such rollover or plan-to-plan
      transfer, it shall consider such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer as part
      of
      the Participant's Aggregate Account balance, irrespective of the date on which
      such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer is accepted.

     

    (7) For
      the
      purposes of determining whether two employers are to be treated as the same
      employer in (5) and (6) above, all employers aggregated under Code
      Section 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) are treated as the same
      employer.

    

    (c) "Aggregation
      Group" means either a Required Aggregation Group or a Permissive Aggregation
      Group as hereinafter determined.

    

    (1) Required
      Aggregation Group: In determining a Required Aggregation Group hereunder, each
      plan of the Employer in which a Key Employee is a participant in the Plan Year
      containing the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years,
      and
      each other plan of the Employer which enables any plan in which a Key Employee
      participates to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410,
      will be required to be aggregated. Such group shall be known as a Required
      Aggregation Group.

    

    In
      the
      case of a Required Aggregation Group, each plan in the group will be considered
      a Top Heavy Plan if the Required Aggregation Group is a Top Heavy Group. No
      plan
      in the Required Aggregation Group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the
      Required Aggregation Group is not a Top Heavy Group.

    

    (2) Permissive
      Aggregation Group: The Employer may also include any other plan not required
      to
      be included in the Required Aggregation Group, provided the resulting group,
      taken as a whole, would continue to satisfy the provisions of Code
      Sections 401(a)(4) and 410. Such group shall be known as a Permissive
      Aggregation Group.

    

    In
      the
      case of a Permissive Aggregation Group, only a plan that is part of the Required
      Aggregation Group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the Permissive
      Aggregation Group is a Top Heavy Group. No plan in the Permissive Aggregation
      Group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the Permissive Aggregation Group
      is
      not a Top Heavy Group.

    

    (3) Only
      those plans of the Employer in which the Determination Dates fall within the
      same calendar year shall be aggregated in order to determine whether such plans
      are Top Heavy Plans.

    

    (4) An
      Aggregation Group shall include any terminated plan of the Employer if it was
      maintained within the last five (5) years ending on the Determination
      Date.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        78

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (d) "Determination
      Date" means (a) the last day of the preceding Plan Year, or (b) in the
      case of the first Plan Year, the last day of such Plan Year.

    

    (e) Present
      Value of Accrued Benefit: In the case of a defined benefit plan, the Present
      Value of Accrued Benefit for a Participant other than a Key Employee, shall
      be
      as determined using the single accrual method used for all plans of the Employer
      and Affiliated Employers, or if no such single method exists, using a method
      which results in benefits accruing not more rapidly than the slowest accrual
      rate permitted under Code Section 411(b)(1)(C). The determination of the Present
      Value of Accrued Benefit shall be determined as of the most recent Valuation
      Date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the
      Determination Date except as provided in Code Section 416 and the Regulations
      thereunder for the first and second plan years of a defined benefit
      plan.

    

    (f) "Top
      Heavy Group" means an Aggregation Group in which, as of the Determination Date,
      the sum of:

    

    (1) the
      Present Value of Accrued Benefits of Key Employees under all defined benefit
      plans included in the group, and

    

    (2) the
      Aggregate Accounts of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans
      included in the group,

    

    exceeds
      sixty percent (60%) of a similar sum determined for all
      Participants.

    10.1    PARTICIPANT'S
      RIGHTS

    

    

    This
      Plan
      shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any
      Participant or to be a consideration or an inducement for the employment of
      any
      Participant or Employee. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to
      give
      any Participant or Employee the right to be retained in the service of the
      Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any
      Participant or Employee at any time regardless of the effect which such
      discharge shall have upon the Employee as a Participant of this
      Plan.

    

    10.2    ALIENATION

    

    

    (a) Subject
      to the exceptions provided below, and as otherwise permitted by the Code and
      the
      Act, no benefit which shall be payable out of the Trust Fund to any person
      (including a Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary) shall be subject
      in
      any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
      encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer,
      assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void; and no such benefit
      shall in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts,
      liabilities, engagements, or torts of any such person, nor shall it be

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        79

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    subject
      to attachment or legal process for or against
      such person, and the same shall not be recognized by the Trustee, except to
      such
      extent as may be required by law.

    
 

    (b) Subsection
      (a) shall not apply to the extent a Participant or Beneficiary is indebted
      to
      the Plan, by reason of a loan made pursuant to Section 7.4. At the time a
      distribution is to be made to or for a Participant's or Beneficiary's benefit,
      such proportion of the amount to be distributed as shall equal such indebtedness
      shall be paid to the Plan, to apply against or discharge such indebtedness.
      Prior to making a payment, however, the Participant or Beneficiary must be
      given
      written notice by the Administrator that such indebtedness is to be so paid
      in
      whole or part from the Participant's Combined Account. If the Participant or
      Beneficiary does not agree that the indebtedness is a valid claim against the
      Vested Participant's Combined Account, the Participant or Beneficiary shall
      be
      entitled to a review of the validity of the claim in accordance with procedures
      provided in Sections 2.10 and 2.11.

    

    (c) Subsection
      (a) shall not apply to a "qualified domestic relations order" defined in Code
      Section 414(p), and those other domestic relations orders permitted to be
      so treated by the Administrator under the provisions of the Retirement Equity
      Act of 1984. The Administrator shall establish a written procedure to determine
      the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer
      distributions under such qualified orders. Further, to the extent provided
      under
      a "qualified domestic relations order," a former spouse of a Participant shall
      be treated as the spouse or surviving spouse for all purposes under the
      Plan.

    

    (d) Subsection
      (a) shall not apply to an offset to a Participant's accrued benefit against
      an
      amount that the Participant is ordered or required to pay the Plan with respect
      to a judgment, order, or decree issued, or a settlement entered into, on or
      after August 5, 1997, in accordance with Code Sections 401(a)(13)(C) and
      (D). In a case in which the survivor annuity requirements of Code Section
      401(a)(11) apply with respect to distributions from the Plan to the Participant,
      if the Participant has a spouse at the time at which the offset is to be
      made:

    

    

    (1) either
      such spouse has consented in writing to such offset and such consent is
      witnessed by a notary public or representative of the Plan (or it is established
      to the satisfaction of a Plan representative that such consent may not be
      obtained by reason of circumstances described in Code Section 417(a)(2)(B)),
      or
      an election to waive the right of the spouse to either a qualified joint and
      survivor annuity or a qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity is in effect
      in
      accordance with the requirements of Code Section 417(a),

    

    (2) such
      spouse is ordered or required in such judgment, order, decree or settlement
      to
      pay an amount to the Plan in connection with a violation of fiduciary duties,
      or

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        80

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (3) in
      such
      judgment, order, decree or settlement, such spouse retains the right to receive
      the survivor annuity under a qualified joint and survivor annuity provided
      pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(11)(A)(i) and under a qualified pre-retirement
      survivor annuity provided pursuant to Code Section
      401(a)(11)(A)(ii).

    

    10.3    CONSTRUCTION
      OF PLAN

    

    

    This
      Plan
      and Trust shall be construed and enforced according to the Code, the Act and
      the
      laws of the State of Texas, other than its laws respecting choice of law, to
      the
      extent not pre-empted by the Act.

    

    10.4    GENDER
      AND NUMBER

    

    

    Wherever
      any words are used herein in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, they
      shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases
      where they would so apply, and whenever any words are used herein in the
      singular or plural form, they shall be construed as though they were also used
      in the other form in all cases where they would so apply.

    

    10.5    LEGAL
      ACTION

    

    

    In
      the
      event any claim, suit, or proceeding is brought regarding the Trust and/or
      Plan
      established hereunder to which the Trustee, the Employer or the Administrator
      may be a party, and such claim, suit, or proceeding is resolved in favor of
      the
      Trustee, the Employer or the Administrator, they shall be entitled to be
      reimbursed from the Trust Fund for any and all costs, attorney's fees, and
      other
      expenses pertaining thereto incurred by them for which they shall have become
      liable.

    

    10.6    PROHIBITION
      AGAINST DIVERSION OF FUNDS

    

    

    (a) Except
      as
      provided below and otherwise specifically permitted by law, it shall be
      impossible by operation of the Plan or of the Trust, by termination of either,
      by power of revocation or amendment, by the happening of any contingency, by
      collateral arrangement or by any other means, for any part of the corpus or
      income of any Trust Fund maintained pursuant to the Plan or any funds
      contributed thereto to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the
      exclusive benefit of Participants, Former Participants, or their
      Beneficiaries.

    

    (b) In
      the
      event the Employer shall make an excessive contribution under a mistake of
      fact
      pursuant to Act Section 403(c)(2)(A), the Employer may demand repayment of
      such
      excessive contribution at any time within one (1) year following the time of
      payment and the Trustees shall return such amount to the Employer within the
      one
      (1) year period. Earnings of the Plan attributable to the contributions may
      not
      be returned to the Employer but any losses attributable thereto must reduce
      the
      amount so returned.

    

    (c) Except
      for Sections 3.5, 3.6, and 4.1(e), any contribution by the Employer to the
      Trust
      Fund is conditioned upon the deductibility of the 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        81

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    contribution
      by the Employer under the Code and, to the
      extent any such deduction is disallowed, the Employer may, within one (1) year
      following the final determination of the disallowance, whether by agreement
      with
      the Internal Revenue Service or by final decision of a competent jurisdiction,
      demand repayment of such disallowed contribution and the Trustee shall return
      such contribution within one (1) year following the disallowance. Earnings
      of
      the Plan attributable to the contribution may not be returned to the Employer,
      but any losses attributable thereto must reduce the amount so
      returned.

    
 

    10.7    EMPLOYER'S
      AND TRUSTEE'S PROTECTIVE CLAUSE

    

    

    The
      Employer, Administrator and Trustee, and their successors, shall not be
      responsible for the validity of any Contract issued hereunder or for the failure
      on the part of the insurer to make payments provided by any such Contract,
      or
      for the action of any person which may delay payment or render a Contract null
      and void or unenforceable in whole or in part.

    

    10.8    INSURER'S
      PROTECTIVE CLAUSE

    

    

    Except
      as
      otherwise agreed upon in writing between the Employer and the insurer, an
      insurer which issues any Contracts hereunder shall not have any responsibility
      for the validity of this Plan or for the tax or legal aspects of this Plan.
      The
      insurer shall be protected and held harmless in acting in accordance with any
      written direction of the Trustee, and shall have no duty to see to the
      application of any funds paid to the Trustee, nor be required to question any
      actions directed by the Trustee. Regardless of any provision of this Plan,
      the
      insurer shall not be required to take or permit any action or allow any benefit
      or privilege contrary to the terms of any Contract which it issues hereunder,
      or
      the rules of the insurer.

    

    10.9    RECEIPT
      AND RELEASE FOR PAYMENTS

    

    

    Any
      payment to any Participant, the Participant's legal representative, Beneficiary,
      or to any guardian or committee appointed for such Participant or Beneficiary
      in
      accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shall, to the extent thereof, be
      in
      full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Trustee and the Employer,
      either of whom may require such Participant, legal representative, Beneficiary,
      guardian or committee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute
      a
      receipt and release thereof in such form as shall be determined by the Trustee
      or Employer.

    

    10.10    ACTION
      BY
      THE EMPLOYER

    

    

    Whenever
      the Employer under the terms of the Plan is permitted or required to do or
      perform any act or matter or thing, it shall be done and performed by a person
      duly authorized by its legally constituted authority.

    

    10.11    NAMED
      FIDUCIARIES AND ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITY

    

    

    The
      "named Fiduciaries" of this Plan are (1) the Employer, (2) the
      Administrator, (3) the Trustee and (4) any Investment Manager
      appointed hereunder. The named Fiduciaries shall have only those specific
      powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations as are specifically given
      them
      under the Plan including, but not limited to, any agreement allocating or
      delegating 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        82

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    their
      responsibilities, the terms of which are
      incorporated herein by reference. In general, the Employer shall have the sole
      responsibility for making the contributions provided for under Section 4.1;
      and
      shall have the authority to appoint and remove the Trustee and the
      Administrator; to formulate the Plan's "funding policy and method"; and to
      amend
      or terminate, in whole or in part, the Plan. The Administrator shall have the
      sole responsibility for the administration of the Plan, including, but not
      limited to, the items specified in Article II of the Plan, as the same may
      be
      allocated or delegated thereunder. The Administrator shall act as the named
      Fiduciary responsible for communicating with the Participant according to the
      Participant Direction Procedures. The Trustee shall have the sole responsibility
      of management of the assets held under the Trust, except to the extent directed
      pursuant to Article II or with respect to those assets, the management of which
      has been assigned to an Investment Manager, who shall be solely responsible
      for
      the management of the assets assigned to it, all as specifically provided in
      the
      Plan. Each named Fiduciary warrants that any directions given, information
      furnished, or action taken by it shall be in accordance with the provisions
      of
      the Plan, authorizing or providing for such direction, information or action.
      Furthermore, each named Fiduciary may rely upon any such direction, information
      or action of another named Fiduciary as being proper under the Plan, and is
      not
      required under the Plan to inquire into the propriety of any such direction,
      information or action. It is intended under the Plan that each named Fiduciary
      shall be responsible for the proper exercise of its own powers, duties,
      responsibilities and obligations under the Plan as specified or allocated
      herein. No named Fiduciary shall guarantee the Trust Fund in any manner against
      investment loss or depreciation in asset value. Any person or group may serve
      in
      more than one Fiduciary capacity.

    
 

    10.12    HEADINGS

    

    

    The
      headings and subheadings of this Plan have been inserted for convenience of
      reference and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions
      hereof.

    

    10.13    APPROVAL
      BY INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

    

    

    Notwithstanding
      anything herein to the contrary, if, pursuant to an application for
      qualification filed by or on behalf of the Plan by the time prescribed by law
      for filing the Employer's return for the taxable year in which the Plan is
      adopted, or such later date that the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe,
      the Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service or the Commissioner's delegate
      should determine that the Plan does not initially qualify as a tax-exempt plan
      under Code Sections 401 and 501, and such determination is not contested, or
      if
      contested, is finally upheld, then if the Plan is a new plan, it shall be void
      ab initio and all amounts contributed to the Plan by the Employer, less expenses
      paid, shall be returned within one (1) year and the Plan shall terminate, and
      the Trustee shall be discharged from all further obligations. If the
      disqualification relates to an amended plan, then the Plan shall operate as
      if
      it had not been amended.

    

    10.14    UNIFORMITY

    

    

    All
      provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted and applied in a uniform,
      nondiscriminatory manner. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
      this
      Plan and any Contract purchased hereunder, the Plan provisions shall
      control.

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, this Plan has been executed the day and year first above
      written.
