                         INTRODUCTION AND ESTABLISHMENT

         L & C Spinco, Inc. ("Company") hereby establishes the L & C Spinco,
Inc. Supplemental Deferred Savings Plan ("Plan") for the benefit of eligible
management and highly compensated employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries
and Business Units. The Plan is designed to assist and encourage eligible
employees to accumulate capital and to supplement their retirement income and to
align their interests more closely with those of shareholders. The Plan provides
for elective deferrals of an employee's compensation, Company matching
contributions and supplemental Company contributions.

         The effective date of the Plan is ___________, 2001 ("Effective Date").
The Plan was originally established in connection with the spin-off of the
Company from National Service Industries, Inc. ("NSI"), which became effective
____________, 2001. Pursuant to an Employee Benefits Agreement dated as of
_____, 2001, between the Company and NSI, the amounts credited to the Account
(including all subaccounts) of certain employees and former employees of NSI and
its subsidiaries who were participants in the National Service Industries, Inc.
Supplemental Deferred Savings Plan ("Prior Plan") as of the Effective Date, and
who became or remained employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the
Effective Date or who were formerly employed by the businesses transferred to
the Company by NSI shall be transferred to the Plan. As provided for herein, the
elections made under the Prior Plan prior to the Effective Date, including
elections regarding deferral amounts, timing and manner of payment of benefits,
and designation of Beneficiaries, shall be carried over and apply for purposes
of the Plan after the Effective Date (subject to any change of election rights
under the Plan).

                                   DEFINITIONS

         When used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set
forth below unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context:

         2.1 "Account" means the records maintained by the Plan Administrator to
determine each Participant's interest under this Plan. Such Account may be
reflected as an entry in the Company's (or Employer's) records, or as a separate
account under a trust, or as a combination of both. Each Participant's Account
shall consist of at least three subaccounts: a Deferral Subaccount to reflect
his deferrals of Compensation; a Matching Subaccount for Employer's matching
contribution credits; a Supplemental Subaccount for any supplemental Employer
contribution credits. The Plan Administrator may establish such additional
subaccounts as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.

         2.2 "Annual Valuation Date" means December 31 of each year while the
Plan is in effect.

         2.3 "Beneficiary" means the person or persons last designated in
writing by the Participant to receive the vested amount in his Account in the
event of such Participant's death; or if no designation shall be in effect at
the time of a Participant's death or if all designated Beneficiaries shall have
predeceased the Participant, then the Beneficiary shall be the Participant's
estate or his personal representative.

         2.4 "Business Unit" means any of the operating units or divisions of
the Company, or its Subsidiaries, designated as a Business Unit by the Plan
Administrator.

         2.5 "Change in Capitalization" means any increase or reduction in the
number of Shares, or any change (including, but not limited to, a change in
value) or exchange of Shares for a different number or kind of shares or other
securities of the Company, by reason of a reclassification, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, reorganization, spin-off, split-up, issuance of warrants
or rights or debentures, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split,
cash dividend, property dividend, combination or exchange of shares, repurchase
of shares, public offering, private placement, change in corporate structure or
otherwise, which in the judgment of the Plan Administrator is material or
significant.

         2.6 "Change in Control" means any of the following events:

         (a) The acquisition (other than from the Company) by any "Person" (as
the term person is used for purposes of Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")) of beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of
twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding voting securities; or

                                       2

<PAGE>   6

         (b) The individuals who, as of _________________, are members of the
Board (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to constitute at least
two-thirds of the Board; Provided, however, that if the election, or nomination
for election by the Company's stockholders, of any new director was approved by
a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall,
for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or

         (c) A merger or consolidation involving the Company if the stockholders
of the Company, immediately before such merger or consolidation do not, as a
result of such merger or consolidation, own, directly or indirectly, more than
seventy percent (70%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation
in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined voting
power of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before
such merger or consolidation; or

         (d) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an
agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed
to occur pursuant to subsection (a) above, solely because twenty percent (20%)
or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such

prior to such acquisition.

deferred by the Participant to this Plan and any other deferred compensation
plan of the Employer (whether or not qualified), and any salary reduction
amounts contributed to a welfare plan. The term "Compensation" shall not include
long-term incentive payments, income from stock options or other stock awards,
car allowances and non-cash remuneration, such as health benefits, life
insurance, and other fringe benefits.

<PAGE>   10

                                  ARTICLE III
                        PARTICIPATION; DEFERRAL ELECTION

         3.1 Eligibility to Participate. Prior to, or at the beginning of, each
Plan Year, the Company (or its designee) shall specify the Executives who are
eligible to make deferral elections under the Plan for the following Plan Year
and to receive Matching Subaccount and Supplemental Subaccount credits (an
"Eligible Executive"). Such eligibility designation may be made by establishing
a minimum compensation level for participation or by the use of such other
criteria as the Company (or its designee) deems appropriate from time to time.

         3.2 Deferral Election. For any Plan Year in which an Eligible Executive
is eligible to participate, such Eligible Executive may elect on an Election
Form to have a portion of the Compensation to be received by the Executive for
such Plan Year deferred in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.
The Plan Administrator may provide for a separate election with respect to
salary and annual bonus. The amount that may be deferred for any Plan Year shall
not be less than $1,000, nor an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) of
his Compensation for such Plan Year.

         An Executive desiring to exercise such election shall, prior to the
beginning of each Plan Year (or within 30 days after the beginning of the
Eligible Executive's initial employment or eligibility, if such employment or
eligibility commences other than at the beginning of a Plan Year), complete an
Election Form indicating the percentage of his Compensation for such Plan Year
that he elects to have deferred. Any such Election Form properly delivered under
the Prior Plan with respect to the calendar year ending December 31, 2001 and
not previously terminated, shall continue in effect under this Plan for the Plan
Year ending December 31, 2001. If the Eligible Executive's election would result
in a deferral greater than the maximum provided herein, any deferred amount
shall be reduced to the maximum limit.

         An election to defer Compensation must be filed with the Plan
Administrator within the time period prescribed by the Plan Administrator. If a
Participant fails to file a properly completed and duly executed Election Form
with the Plan Administrator by the prescribed time, he will be deemed to have
elected not to defer any Compensation under this Plan for the Plan Year, except
to the extent the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion permits an extension
of the election period. An Eligible Executive may not, after the applicable
election date change (increase or decrease) the percentage of Compensation he
has elected to defer for a Plan Year.

         A Participant may at any time during the Plan Year terminate an
election to defer salary (but not the bonus) and discontinue future salary
deferrals of Compensation under this Plan by providing written notice to the
Plan Administrator prior to the start of the next payroll period for which
Compensation will be payable. In such event, Compensation earned for services
subsequent to such termination notice will be paid directly to the Participant
and will not be subject to his prior deferral election. A Participant who elects
to discontinue participation in the Plan for a Plan Year may not recommence
participation in the Plan until the next following Plan

                                       7

<PAGE>   11

Year (or such later Plan Year in which he is again eligible to participate),
provided the Participant completes and executes the required Election Form.
Increases or decreases in the amount a Participant elects to defer (other than a
suspension of deferrals) shall not be permitted during the Plan Year.

         The Eligible Executive may designate on the Election Form (or on a
separate form provided by the Plan Administrator) a Beneficiary (or
Beneficiaries) to receive payment of amounts in his Account in the event of his
death. Any proper designation of a Beneficiary under the Prior Plan which has
not been changed or revoked shall continue under this Plan.

             PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS; EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION CREDITS

         4.1 Accounting for Participants' Interests.

         (a) Deferral Subaccount. The Company shall establish a Deferral
Subaccount for each Participant under the Plan. The initial amount credited to
the Participant's Deferral Subaccount under the Plan shall be the amount
credited to the Participant's Deferral Subaccount in the Prior Plan that is
transferred to this Plan as described in subsection (d) below. Each
Participant's Deferral Subaccount shall thereafter be credited with the amounts
of Compensation deferred by the Participant under this Plan. The timing and
manner in which amounts are credited to a Participant's Deferral Subaccount
under this Plan shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion,
but the deferral election shall be applied to each pay period in which the
Participant has Compensation during his period of participation in the Plan. The
Participant's Deferral Subaccount shall be credited with interest at the Prime
Rate on each Annual Valuation Date based upon the amount credited to such
Subaccount as of the preceding Annual Valuation Date, and at such other times,
if any, as may be determined by the Plan Administrator. If permitted by the
Company in accordance with such rules as the Company may establish, a
Participant (other than an Executive Officer of the Company) may direct that all
or a portion of the Deferral Subaccount shall be deemed to be invested in
Shares.

         (b) Matching Subaccount. The Company shall establish a Matching
Subaccount for each Participant under the Plan. The initial amount credited to
the Participant's Matching Subaccount under the Plan shall be the amount
credited to the Participant's Matching Subaccount in the Prior Plan that is
transferred to this Plan as described in subsection (e) below. Thereafter,
unless the Board otherwise determines, as of the end of each Plan Year (or as of
such other date as the Board may determine), there shall be credited to the
Matching Subaccount of each Participant who is employed on the last day of the
Plan Year an amount equal to 25% of the amount of the Participant's deferrals
for such Plan Year, provided that the maximum amount credited to a Participant's
Matching Subaccount for a Plan Year shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the
Participant's Compensation for such Plan Year. Unless the Company otherwise
determines for a designated Eligible Executive (other than an Executive Officer
of the Company), an Eligible Executive who is covered by a defined benefit
supplemental executive retirement plan maintained by the Employer shall not be
eligible to receive Employer matching contribution credits under the Plan.

         Unless the Company otherwise determines, the amount credited to a
Participant's Matching Subaccount shall be deemed to be invested in the form of
cash, Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares, as elected by the Participant
on the Election Form. The Company may provide the Participant with the right to
change the deemed investment election from time to time and to designate
different deemed investment elections for amounts credited to the Matching
Subaccount in different Plan Years. To the extent the amount is deemed to be
credited in cash, the Matching Subaccount will be credited with interest at the
Prime Rate on each Annual Valuation Date (and at such other dates, if any, as
may be determined by the Plan Administrator); if Shares are deemed to be
credited, the Matching Subaccount will be adjusted on each Annual Valuation Date
(and at such other dates, if any, as may be determined by the Plan

                                       9

Administrator) as if it were invested in Shares to reflect any dividends
(including reinvestment of such dividends in Shares), distributions, stock
dividends, stock splits or similar actions with respect to the Shares since the
preceding Annual Valuation Date (or such other date).

         (c) Supplemental Subaccount. The Company shall establish a Supplemental
Subaccount for each Participant under the Plan. The initial amount credited to
the Participant's Supplemental Subaccount under the Plan shall be the amount
credited to the Participant's Supplemental Subaccount in the Prior Plan that is
transferred to this Plan as described in subsection (e) below. Thereafter,
unless the Board otherwise determines, as of the end of each Plan Year (or as of
such other date as the Board may determine), there shall be credited to the
Supplemental Subaccount of each Eligible Employee who is employed on the last
day of the Plan Year and who has a Year of Service for such Plan Year an amount
equal to three percent (3%) of the Eligible Employee's Compensation for such
Plan Year. Unless the Company determines otherwise for a designated Eligible
Executive, an Eligible Executive who is covered by a defined benefit
supplemental executive retirement plan maintained by the Employer shall not be
eligible to receive Employer supplemental contribution credits under the Plan.

         Unless the Company otherwise determines, the amount credited to an
Eligible Employee's Supplemental Subaccount shall be deemed to be in the form of
Shares. If Shares are deemed to be credited, the Supplemental Subaccount will be
adjusted on each Annual Valuation Date (and at such other dates, if any, as may
be determined by the Plan Administrator) as if it were invested in Shares to
reflect any dividends (including reinvestment of such dividends in Shares),
distributions, stock dividends, stock splits or similar action with respect to
the Shares since the preceding Annual Valuation Date (or such other date).

         (d) Crediting of Shares. The number of Shares to credit to a
Participant's Deferral Subaccount, Matching Subaccount or Supplemental
Subaccount as of an Annual Valuation Date (or other date, as provided above)
shall be determined by converting the cash credit otherwise required to Shares
using the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date.

         (e) Transfer of Accounts from the Prior Plan. Effective as of the
Effective Date, the Company shall accept a transfer from the Prior Plan and
credit to the Account (and each subaccount) of each Participant who was a
participant in the Prior Plan, the amount credited to the Participant's Account
(and each subaccount) in the Prior Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date.
To the extent any transferred amounts from the Prior Plan were deemed to be
invested in shares of common stock of NSI, such amounts will be converted and
will be deemed to be invested in a number of Shares of the Company equal to (i)
the product of (x) the number of shares of NSI stock credited to the
Participant's Account under the Prior Plan as of the date of the distribution of
the shares of the Company's common stock to the stockholders of NSI (the
"Distribution Date"), and (y) the closing per share price of NSI common stock
(trading with a due bill) on the Distribution Date, divided by (ii) the closing
per share price of the Company's common stock (on a when issued basis) on the
Distribution Date.

         4.2 Vesting of a Participant's Account.

         (a) Deferral Subaccount. Except as provided in the next sentence, a
Participant's interest in the amount credited to his Deferral Subaccount shall
at all times be 100% vested and nonforfeitable. If a Participant incurs a
Termination for Cause, he shall forfeit all earnings credited on all amounts
deferred to his Deferral Subaccount that have not yet been fully distributed to
him under Section 4.3.

         (b) Matching and Supplemental Subaccounts. Except in the event of a
Termination For Cause, a Participant's interest in the amount credited to his
Matching Subaccount and Supplemental Subaccount shall become (i) 100% vested and
nonforfeitable upon his death, Total and Permanent Disability, Retirement or
completion of 10 or more Years of Service and attainment of age 55 while
actively employed, and (ii) 50% vested upon completion of 5 Years of Service and
attainment of age 55 while actively employed, with such vesting increasing 10%
per year for each additional Year of Service up to 10 years. Subject to Article
VII, if the Participant incurs a Termination for Cause (regardless of whether he
is otherwise vested) or if the Participant's employment is terminated prior to
the time specified for vesting in the preceding sentence, his entire Matching
and Supplemental Subaccounts shall be forfeited.

         4.3 Distribution of a Participant's Account. Subject to Article VII, a
Participant's Account shall be distributed as follows:

         (a) Deferral Subaccount.

             (i)   Except as provided in (ii) and (iii) below, distribution
         of each Class Year Subaccount of a Participant shall be made in a
         single lump sum payment as soon as practicable after the January 1 next
         following five (5) full Plan Years after the Class Year. For example,
         the distribution of the 2001 Class Year Subaccount (the Participant's
         deferrals credited to him for the year ended December 31, 2001) shall
         be made on or about January 1, 2007, and for the 2002 Class Year
         Subaccount on or about January 1, 2008, and so on.

             (ii)  Election to Defer Distribution. A Participant who will
         become eligible to receive a distribution of a Class Year Subaccount
         under (i) above may elect to defer to the January 1 of a later year
         (subject to the limitations provided below) the distribution of such
         Class Year Subaccount. The election to defer distribution of a Class
         Year Subaccount must be filed prior to the end of the fourth Plan Year
         immediately following the Class Year for such Class Year Subaccount.
         For example, for the 2001 Class Year Subaccount, the election must be
         filed prior to January 1, 2006. The Participant's deferral election for
         a Class Year Subaccount must indicate (A) the January 1 when he desires
         his benefit to be paid or to commence, which date must be at least two
         (2) years after the date he could initially have received a
         distribution, and (B) whether the distribution should be made in a lump
         sum or in annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years;
         provided, that the lump sum payment shall be made not later than the
         year in which he attains age 70 and the last installment payment shall
         be made not later than the year in which the Participant attains age
         75. A Participant's Class Year

                                       11

<PAGE>   15

         Subaccount for which a deferral election is made under this subsection
         (b) shall continue to be credited with earnings under Section 4.1(a)
         until the amount is fully distributed (except as limited in the case of
         a Termination for Cause).

             (iii) Death, Disability or Termination of Service Prior to Vesting.

                       (A) Notwithstanding the existence of a deferral
                  election under Section 4.3(a)(ii), in the event of a
                  Participant's death, Total and Permanent Disability, or a
                  Termination of Service prior to the Participant's completion
                  of 5 Years of Service and attainment of age 55, distribution
                  of the vested balance credited to a Participant's Deferral
                  Subaccount shall be made to the Participant (or his
                  Beneficiary in the event of death) as soon as practical.
                  Payment of the Participant's Deferral Subaccount shall be made
                  in a lump sum. In the event payments are made pursuant to this
                  subsection (a)(iii), earnings shall be credited under Section
                  4.1(a) until all amounts have been distributed (except as
                  limited in the case of Termination for Cause).

                       (B) In the event a Participant terminates after
                  completing 5 Years of Service and attaining age 55 (except for
                  death and Total and Permanent Disability which are covered by
                  (A) above), the vested balance credited to a Participant's
                  Deferral Subaccount shall be distributed as follows: (x) any
                  Class Year Subaccounts as to which he has properly elected
                  under subsection (ii) above a delayed distribution and/or
                  payment in installments shall be distributed in accordance
                  with such elections; and (y) with respect to any Class Year
                  Subaccounts as to which the five-year period has not yet
                  passed and that would otherwise be payable more than one (1)
                  year in the future, the Participant may elect prior to
                  termination to make the deferral election in (ii) above. Any
                  Class Year Subaccounts as to which the 5-year period has not
                  passed that are payable within one (1) year and any Class Year
                  Subaccounts as to which the election in (y) is not made shall
                  be payable as soon as practical after termination.

         (b) Matching and Supplemental Subaccounts. The vested amounts
(determined in accordance with Section 4.2(b)) credited to a Participant's
Matching Subaccount and Supplemental Subaccount shall be payable in a lump sum
as soon as practical after the Participant's death, Total and Permanent
Disability or Termination of Service, unless, in the case of a termination other
than for death or Total and Permanent Disability, the Participant has elected a
delayed payment date and/or payment in installments on the Election Form;
provided that the lump sum payment shall be made not later than the year in
which he attains age 70 and the last installment payment shall be made not later
than the year in which the Participant attains age 75. The Plan Administrator
may establish rules to permit Participants to change the form and timing of
their payment election, provided that no such change shall be effective unless
it is made at least two (2) years prior to the Participant's Termination of
Service. In the event of death after Termination of Service, distribution of the
remaining amount credited to the Participant's Matching Subaccount and
Supplemental Subaccount shall be made to a Beneficiary

                                       12

<PAGE>   16

in a lump sum as soon as practical after the Participant's death. All amounts,
including amounts deemed to be invested in Shares, shall be paid in cash.

         4.4 Hardship. A Participant who is suffering an unforeseen and severe
financial hardship as a result of (i) an illness or accident of the Participant
or his immediately family, (ii) loss of Participant's property due to casualty,
or (iii) for such other reasons as the Plan Administrator may establish, may
file a written request with the Plan Administrator for distribution of all or a
portion of the amount credited to his Deferral Subaccount. The Plan
Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine whether to grant a
Participant's hardship request and the amount to distribute to the Participant.
The Plan Administrator shall have authority in connection with such hardship
request to accelerate the payment of any Class Year Subaccounts which have been
deferred pursuant to Section 4.3(a).

                               PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

         5.1 Committee. The Plan Administrator shall be the Company or such
committee as may be designated by the Company to administer and manage the Plan.
Members of any committee shall not be required to be employees of the Company or
Participants. Action of the Plan Administrator may be taken with or without a
meeting of committee members. If a member of the committee is a Participant in
the Plan, he shall not participate in any decision which solely affects his own
Account.

         5.2 Right and Duties. The Plan Administrator shall have the
discretionary authority to administer and manage the Plan and shall have all
powers necessary to accomplish that purpose, including (but not limited to) the
following:

         (a) To construe, interpret, and administer this Plan;

         (b) To make allocations and determinations required by this Plan, and
to maintain records relating to Participants' Accounts;

         (c) To compute and certify to the Company the amount and kinds of
benefits payable to Participants or their beneficiaries, and to determine the
time and manner in which such benefits are to be paid;

         (d) To authorize all disbursements by the Company pursuant to this
Plan;

         (e) To maintain (or cause to be maintained) all the necessary records
of the administration of this Plan;

         (f) To make and publish such rules for the regulation of this Plan as
are not inconsistent with the terms hereof;

         (g) To delegate to other individuals or entities from time to time the
performance of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder; and

         (h) To hire agents, accountants, actuaries, consultants and legal
counsel to assist in operating and administering the Plan.

         The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretionary authority
to construe and to interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility
for benefits and to determine the amount and manner of payment of such benefits,
and its decisions on such matters shall be final and conclusive on all parties.

         5.3 Compensation, Indemnity and Liability. The Plan Administrator shall
serve as such without bond and without compensation for services hereunder. All
expenses of the Plan and the Plan Administrator shall be paid by the Company. If
the Plan Administrator is a committee, no member of the committee shall be
liable for any act or omission of any other

                                       14

member of the committee, nor for any act or omission on his own part, excepting
his own willful misconduct. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Plan Administrator and each member of the committee against any and all expenses
and liabilities, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of
his membership on the committee, excepting only expenses and liabilities arising
out of his own willful misconduct.

         5.4 Taxes. If the whole or any part of any Participant's Account shall
become liable for the payment of any estate, inheritance, income, or other tax
which the Company shall be required to pay or withhold, the Company shall have
the full power and authority to withhold and pay such tax out of any monies or
other property in its hand for the account of the Participant whose interests
hereunder are so liable. The Company shall provide notice of any such
withholding. Prior to making any payment, the Company may require such releases
or other documents from any lawful taxing authority as it shall deem necessary.

                                CLAIMS PROCEDURE

         6.1 Claims for Benefits. If a Participant or beneficiary (hereafter,
"Claimant") does not receive timely payment of any benefits which he believes
are due and payable under the Plan, he may make a claim for benefits to the Plan
Administrator. The claim for benefits must be in writing and addressed to the
Plan Administrator or to the Company. If the claim for benefits is denied, the
Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant in writing within 90 days after the
Plan Administrator initially received the benefit claim. However, if special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, the Plan
Administrator shall furnish notice of the extension to the Claimant prior to the
termination of the initial 90-day period and such extension shall not exceed one
additional, consecutive 90-day period. Any notice of a denial of benefits shall
advise the Claimant of the basis for the denial, any additional material or
information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his claim, and the steps which
the Claimant must take to have his claim for benefits reviewed.

         6.2 Appeals. Each Claimant whose claim for benefits has been denied may
file a written request for a review of his claim by the Plan Administrator. The
request for review must be filed by the Claimant within 60 days after he
received the written notice denying his claim. The decision of the Plan
Administrator will be made within 60 days after receipt of a request for review
and shall be communicated in writing to the Claimant. Such written notice shall
set forth the basis for the Plan Administrator's decision. If there are special
circumstances which require an extension of time for completing the review, the
Plan Administrator's decision shall be rendered not later than 120 days after
receipt of a request for review.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION; CHANGE IN CONTROL

         7.1 Amendments. Subject to Section 7.3, the Company (or its designee)
shall have the right in its sole discretion to amend this Plan in any manner at
any time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall reduce the
Participant's vested interest in his Account under Section 4.2 at that time. Any
amendment shall be in writing and executed by a duly authorized officer of the
Company. All Participants shall be bound by such amendment.

         7.2 Termination of Plan. The Company expects to continue this Plan, but
does not obligate itself to do so. Subject to Section 7.3, the Company reserves
the right to discontinue and terminate the Plan at any time, in whole or in
part, for any reason (including a change, or an impending change, in the tax
laws of the United States or any State). If the Plan is terminated, the Plan
Administrator shall be notified of such action in a writing executed by a duly
authorized officer of the Company, and the Plan shall be terminated at the time
therein set forth. Termination of the Plan shall be binding on all Participants,
but in no event may such termination reduce the amounts credited at that time to
any Participant's Account. If this Plan is terminated, amounts theretofore
credited to Participant's Deferral Subaccount, Matching Subaccount and
Supplemental Subaccount, including interest and earnings from the last Valuation
Date to the termination date, shall either be paid in a lump sum immediately, or
distributed in some other manner consistent with this Plan, as determined by the
Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

         7.3 Change In Control Provisions.

         (a) Amendment or Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Plan to the contrary, for a period of two (2) years following a Change in
Control this Plan shall not be terminated or amended to reduce, suspend or
eliminate any Eligible Executive's or Participant's benefits or participation
(or right to participate) provided under this Plan, including, without
limitation, the benefits provided in Articles III and IV. Any amendment or
termination of this Plan which a Participant reasonably demonstrates (i) was at
the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps
reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, or (ii) otherwise arose in
connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control, and which was not
consented to in writing by the Participant shall be null and void, and shall
have no effect whatsoever with respect to the Participant.

         (b) Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant's employment is terminated by the
Company (other than for "Cause" as defined in (c) below) or by the Participant
for any reason within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the
Participant's Account shall become fully vested and the Company shall, within
five (5) days, pay to the Participant a lump sum cash payment of the full amount
credited to his Account (including any Class Year Subaccounts subject to a
deferral election under Section 4.3(b), Matching Subaccount and Supplemental
Subaccount) with earnings determined under Section 4.1 credited thereto to the
date of payment. If a Participant's employment is terminated (i) for Cause (as
defined in (c) below) within two (2) years following a Change in

                                       17

<PAGE>   21

Control or (ii) for any reason more than two (2) years after a Change in
Control, the provisions of Article IV shall apply to the distribution of the
Participant's Account.

         (c) Cause. For purposes of Section 7.3(b), a termination for "Cause" is
a termination of the Executive evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith
by two-thirds of the Board of Directors of the Company that the Participant (i)
intentionally and continually failed to substantially perform his duties with
the Company (other than a failure resulting from the Participant's incapacity
due to physical or mental illness) which failure continued for a period of at
least thirty (30) days after a written notice of demand for substantial
performance has been delivered to the Participant specifying the manner in which
the Participant has failed to substantially perform, or (ii) intentionally
engaged in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the
Company, monetarily or otherwise; provided, however, that no termination of the
Participant's employment shall be for Cause as set forth in clause (ii) above
until (x) there shall have been delivered to the Participant a copy of a written
notice setting forth that the Participant was guilty of the conduct set forth in
clause (ii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail, and (y) the
Participant shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board
(with the assistance of the Participant's counsel if the Participant so
desires). No act, nor failure to act, on the Participant's part, shall be
considered "intentional" unless he has acted or failed to act, with an absence
of good faith and without a reasonable belief that his action or failure to act
was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, in the case of any Participant who is a party to
a Severance Protection Agreement, no failure to perform by the Participant after
a Notice of Termination (as defined in the Participant's Severance Protection
Agreement) is given by the Participant shall constitute Cause for purposes of
this Plan.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         8.1 Limitation on Participant's Rights. Participation in this Plan
shall not give any Participant the right to be retained in the Company's employ
or the employ of any Employer, or any right or interest in this Plan or any
assets of the Company other than as herein provided. The Company reserves the
right to terminate the employment of any Participant without any liability for
any claim against the Company under this Plan, except to the extent provided
herein.

         8.2 Benefits Unfunded. The benefits provided by this Plan shall be
unfunded. All amounts payable under this Plan to Participants shall be paid from
the general assets of the Company, and nothing contained in this Plan shall
require the Company to set aside or hold in trust any amounts or assets for the
purpose of paying benefits to Participants. This Plan shall create only a
contractual obligation on the part of the Company, and Participants shall have
the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company under the Plan with
respect to amounts of Compensation they defer hereunder or any other obligation
of the Company to pay benefits pursuant hereto. Any funds of the Company
available to pay benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the claims of
general creditors of the Company, and may be used for any purpose by the
Company.

         Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Company may at any time
transfer assets, including Shares, to a trust for purposes of paying all or any
part of its obligations under this Plan. However, to the extent provided in the
trust only, such transferred amounts shall remain subject to the claims of
general creditors of the Company. To the extent that assets are held in a trust
when a Participant's benefits under the Plan become payable, the Plan
Administrator shall direct the trustee to pay such benefits to the Participant
from the assets of the trust.

         8.3 Other Plans. This Plan shall not affect the right of any Executive
or Participant to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance
with the provisions of any other employee benefit plans which are now or
hereafter maintained by the Company, unless the terms of such other employee
benefit plan or plans specifically provide otherwise.

         8.4 Receipt or Release. Any payment to a Participant in accordance with
the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full
satisfaction of all claims against the Plan Administrator, the Company and any
Employer, and the Plan Administrator may require such Participant, as a
condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such
effect.

         8.5 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed, administered, and

                                     PURPOSE

         L & C Spinco, Inc. (the "Company") has established the L & C Spinco,
Inc. Executives' Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") to assist certain key
employees in accumulating capital or supplementing any retirement income they
may otherwise receive by permitting them to defer a portion of their
compensation. To encourage these individuals to participate in the Plan and to
continue their employment with the Company, the Company will match a portion of
these deferred amounts.

         The Plan is designed to be a nonqualified, deferred compensation plan
maintained primarily for a select group of management and highly compensated
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The benefits under the Plan are
unfunded and all amounts payable under the Plan shall be paid from the general
assets of the Adopting Employer which employs the Participant.

         The Plan is effective as of _________________, 2001, and is established
in connection with the spin-off of the Company by National Service Industries,
Inc. ("NSI"), as a successor plan to the National Service Industries, Inc.
Executives' Deferred Compensation Plan ("Prior Plan") for certain employees and
former employees of NSI and its subsidiaries who were participants in the Prior
Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date, and who became or remained
employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date or who
were formerly employed by the businesses transferred to the Company by NSI.

                                AMOUNTS DEFERRED

         2.1      Each Eligible Executive may elect to have a portion of the
annual performance or discretionary bonus ("bonus"), if any, to be received by
him for the Fiscal Year commencing September 1, 2001, and for any Fiscal Year

the Plan. The amount of such bonus that may be so deferred shall not exceed the
lower of:

                  (a)      the Executive's Compensation for the Class Year which
         is in excess of the average Compensation paid or credited to the
         Executive (including any amounts deferred under this Plan, but
         excluding Company Contributions under this Plan) for services rendered
         as an Eligible Executive over the three (3) full Fiscal Years
         immediately preceding the Class Year. If the Executive has completed
         two (2) but less than three (3) full Fiscal Years of Continuous Service
         in an eligible position the average shall be computed based upon the
         average Compensation paid or credited to the Executive for the two (2)
         full Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Class Year. Any Executive
         who has not completed two (2) full Fiscal Years in an eligible position
         shall be entitled to defer for the Class Year not more than (1)
         twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500) for a Senior Officer and (2)
         twelve hundred fifty dollars ($1,250) for a Key Manager; and

                  (b)      the Executive's bonus for the Class Year.

                  An Executive desiring to exercise such election shall deliver
         a Deferral Election to the Company or the Executive's Adopting
         Employer, as applicable, prior to the beginning of each such Fiscal
         Year, or if an individual first becomes an Eligible Executive during a
         Fiscal Year, within 30 days after the date the individual first becomes
         an Eligible Executive (or within such other period as may be
         established by the Committee). Any such Deferral Election delivered
         under the Prior Plan with respect to the Fiscal Year ending August 31,
         2002 shall continue in effect under this Plan for such Fiscal Year. If
         the Executive's Deferral Election would result in a deferral greater
         than the maximum provided herein, any deferred amount shall be reduced
         to the maximum limit provided herein.

         2.2      The Executive's Primary Account shall be credited, as of
October 1 next following the end of each Class Year for which the election was
made, with the dollar amount of the Compensation deferred for such Class Year
pursuant to Section 2.1.

         2.3      A Participant's accounts shall be distributable in the manner
and subject to the conditions set forth in Article V, Article VI and Article IX.

         As of each October 1, the Company shall contribute to a Company
Contribution Account on behalf of each Eligible Executive an amount equal to the
Executive's Deferred Compensation for the immediately preceding Class Year, up
to a maximum of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for a Senior Officer or President
and twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500) for a Key Manager.

         The inability of a Participant to fully utilize the maximum Company
Contribution for any Class Year, whether due to lack of qualified earnings,
eligible service, failure to elect or any other reason, shall not result in a
carry-over of unused credits to any subsequent year.

                                     VESTING

         5.1      A Participant shall at all times have a non-forfeitable
(vested) right to the amounts in his Primary Account subject to the distribution
provisions of Article VI.

         5.2      (a)      Subject to Article IX, the Company Contribution
Account of a Participant for each Class Year shall become vested in him upon the
completion of five full Fiscal Years of Continuous Service as an Eligible
Employee after the end of such Class Year.

                  (b)      Subject to Article IX, the Company Contribution
         Account of a Participant for all Class Years shall become vested in him
         upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

                           (i)      Total and Permanent Disability of the
                  Participant (as determined by the Committee); or

                           (ii)     Retirement after the Participant has
                  attained age 55; or

                           (iii)    Death of the Participant; or

                           (iv)     Termination of this Plan.

         5.3      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to a
Change in Control should the Participant be found by the Committee to be guilty
of theft, embezzlement, fraud or misappropriation of the Company's property or
of any action which, if the individual were an Officer of the Corporation, would
constitute a breach of fiduciary duty, the Company Contribution Account for all
Class Years which had not yet vested in the Participant shall be immediately
forfeited.

                                  DISTRIBUTION

         6.1      Subject to Article IX, distribution of the vested portion of a
Participant's Account shall be made in a lump sum as soon as practicable
following the Participant's Total and Permanent Disability, death or Termination
of Service for any other reason prior to attainment of age 55. If a Participant
terminates employment on or after age 55, the provisions of any benefit
elections made by the Participant pursuant to Section 6.3 shall be recognized.
In the event of the termination of the Plan or the Total and Permanent
Disability or death of a Participant, interest allowance pursuant to Article IV
shall be computed to the date of payment hereunder. In the event of Termination
of Service for any other reason, interest allowance shall be computed to the
last Valuation Date falling on or before the date of such Termination of
Service.

         6.2      Except as provided in Section 6.1 above and Article IX,
distribution of each Class Year Account of a Participant shall be made in a
single lump sum payment on the October 1 next following five (5) full Fiscal
Years after the Class Year. For example, the distribution of Class Year 2001
Account shall be made on October 1, 2006 and for Class Year 2002 Account on
October 1, 2007, etc. Such Participant, may, however, make a timely election to
further defer receipt of this sum as provided in Section 6.3.

         6.3      Any Participant may file a subsequent election to further
irrevocably defer any amount becoming distributable under this Plan provided
that such election is filed before the end of the fourth Fiscal Year immediately
following the Class Year. For example, for Class Year 2001 any such election
must be filed prior to September 1, 2005. Any such election made under the Prior
Plan shall continue in effect under this Plan. This subsequent deferral shall
provide, at the option of the Participant, for payment of the Participant's
full Class Year Account balance in a single sum or in installments payable on
October 1 of any year or years but with the last installment due not later than
ten years after the Participant's retirement and not before the regular
distribution date otherwise provided herein. A Participant retiring on or after
age 55 may elect prior to termination to make the deferral election in this
section with respect to all Class Year Accounts as to which the five-year
period has not yet passed and that would otherwise be payable more than one (1)
year in the future. Any Class Year Accounts as to which the five-year period
has not yet passed that are payable within one (1) year and any Class Year
Accounts as to which the election in this section is not made shall be payable
as soon as practical after termination.

         6.4      Hardship. A Participant who is suffering an unforeseen and
severe financial hardship as a result of (i) an illness or accident of the
Participant or his immediate family, (ii) loss of Participant's property due to
casualty, or (iii) for such other reasons as the Committee may establish, may
file a written request with the Committee for distribution of all or a portion
of the amount credited to his Account. The Committee shall have the sole
discretion to determine whether to grant a Participant's hardship request and
the amount to distribute to the Participant. The Committee shall have authority
in connection with such hardship request to accelerate the payment of any Class
Year Accounts which have been deferred pursuant to Section 6.3.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         7.1      No Participant or any other person shall have any interest in
any specific asset or assets of the Company by reason of any sums credited to
him hereunder or any right to receive any distribution under the Plan except as
and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be
deemed to give any officer or any employee of the Company any right to
participate in the Plan, except in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

         7.2      Neither the adoption nor the amendment of the Plan, nor any
action of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Committee, nor any
election to defer compensation hereunder, shall be held or construed to confer
on any person any legal right to be continued as an employee of the Company.

         7.3      No Participant or any other person entitled to payment
hereunder shall have the right to assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any
interest in his Account, nor shall the Participant's interest therein be subject
to garnishment, attachment, transfer by operation of law, or any legal process,
except to pay a debt of such Participant to the Company or an Adopting Employer.

         7.4      If a Participant or beneficiary (hereafter, "Claimant") does
not receive timely payment of any benefits which he believes are due and payable
under the Plan, he may make a claim for benefits to the Plan Administrator. The
claim for benefits must be in writing and addressed to the Plan Administrator or
to the Company. If the claim for benefits is denied, the Plan Administrator
shall notify the Claimant in writing within 90 days after the Plan Administrator
initially received the benefit claim. However, if special circumstances require
an extension of time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator shall
furnish notice of the extension to the Claimant prior to the termination of the
initial 90-day period and such extension shall not exceed one additional,
consecutive 90-day period. Any notice of a denial of benefits shall advise the
Claimant of the basis for the denial, any additional material or information
necessary for the Claimant to perfect his claim, and the steps which the
Claimant must take to have his claim for benefits reviewed.

         7.5      Each Claimant whose claim for benefits has been denied may
file a written request for a review of his claim by the Plan Administrator. The
request for review must be filed by the Claimant within 60 days after he
received the written notice denying his claim. The decision of the Plan
Administrator will be made within 60 days after receipt of a request for review
and shall be communicated in writing to the Claimant. Such written notice shall
set forth the basis for the Plan Administrator's decision. If there are special
circumstances which require an extension of time for completing the review, the
Plan Administrator's decision shall be rendered not later than 120 days after
receipt of a request for review.

         7.6      If the whole or any part of any Participant's Account shall
become liable for the payment of any estate, inheritance, income, or other tax
which the Company shall be required to pay or withhold, the Company shall have
the full power and authority to withhold and pay such tax out of any monies or
other property in its hand for the account of the Participant whose

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

interests hereunder are so liable. The Company shall provide notice of any such
withholding. Prior to making any payment, the Company may require such releases
or other documents from any lawful taxing authority as it shall deem necessary.

         7.7      Each Participant shall have the right at anytime to designate,
and rescind or change any designation of, a primary and contingent beneficiary
or beneficiaries to receive benefits hereunder in the event of his death. If
there is no surviving beneficiary at the time of the Participant's death, future
payments due shall be made to the estate of the Participant. A designation or
change of beneficiary shall be made in writing on a form prescribed by the
Committee. After such notice is filed with the Committee, the designation or
change shall relate back and take effect as of the date the Participant signed
such form, but without prejudice to the Committee or the Company on account of
any payment made before receipt of such notice. Any valid designation of
beneficiary under the Prior Plan shall continue in effect under this Plan until
changed or rescinded as provided above.

         7.8      The benefits provided by this Plan shall be unfunded. All
amounts payable under this Plan to any Participant shall be paid from the
general assets of the employer which principally employs the Participant (the
"Obligated Employer"), and nothing contained in this Plan shall require the
Obligated Employer to set aside or hold in trust any amounts or assets for the
purpose of paying benefits to Participants. This Plan shall create only a
contractual obligation on the part of the Obligated Employer and Participants
shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Obligated Employer
under the Plan with respect to amounts of Compensation they defer hereunder or
any other obligation of the Obligated Employer to pay benefits pursuant hereto.
Any funds of the Obligated Employer available to pay benefits pursuant to the
Plan shall be subject to the claims of general creditors of the Obligated
Employer, and may be used for any purpose by the Obligated Employer.

         Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Obligated Employer may at
any time transfer assets to a trust for purposes of paying all or any part of
its obligations under this Plan. However, to the extent provided in the trust
only, such transferred amounts shall remain subject to the claims of general
creditors of the Obligated Employer. To the extent that assets are held in a
trust when a Participant's benefits under the Plan become payable, the Committee
shall direct the trustee to pay such benefits to the Participant from the assets
of the trust.

         7.9      In consideration of each Participant's performance of valuable
services that inure to the financial benefit of the Company, the Company does
hereby agree to perform all of the obligations and responsibilities and pay any
benefits due and owing to a Participant under the Plan if the Obligated Employer
(as defined in Section 7.5) designated to perform such obligations and
responsibilities or pay such benefits fails or is unable to do so.

                                    COMMITTEE

         8.1      The Plan shall be administered by a Committee composed of the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or such other
committee as may be designated by the Board of Directors. The Committee shall be
deemed to have and to be exercising all of the powers of the Board of Directors
of the Company in the performance of any of the powers and duties delegated to
it under the Plan. No member of the Committee may participate in a decision
regarding his or her own benefits under the Plan except in general matters
dealing with the Plan as a whole. The Committee shall have the authority to
delegate its duties and responsibilities hereunder.

         8.2      The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, without notice
at any time and from time to time, modify or amend, in whole or in part, any or
all of the provisions of the Plan, or suspend or terminate it entirely; provided
that no such modification, amendment, suspension or termination may, without his
consent, apply to or affect the payment or distribution to any Participant of
any amounts credited to him hereunder prior to the effective date of such
modification, amendment, suspension or termination. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Plan to the contrary, for a period of two (2) years following
a Change in Control this Plan shall not be terminated or amended to reduce or
eliminate any Eligible Executive's or Participant's benefits or participation
(or right to participate) provided under this Plan, including, without
limitation, the benefits provided in Articles II, III, V and IX.

         8.3      The Committee shall from time to time establish eligibility
requirements for participation in the Plan and rules for the administration of
the Plan, including such delegation of any administrative or ministerial duties
hereunder as it may deem desirable, that are not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan.

         8.4      The Committee shall have the exclusive discretionary authority
to construe and to interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility
for benefits and to determine the amount of such benefits, and its decisions on
such matters shall be final and conclusive on all parties. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the determination of the Committee as to whether a
Participant has retired, Terminated his Service or become Totally and
Permanently Disabled and the date thereof shall be final, binding and conclusive
upon all persons.

         8.5      The Company or the Committee may consult with legal counsel,
who may be counsel for the Company or other counsel, with respect to its
obligations or duties hereunder, or with respect to any action or proceeding or
any question of law, and shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith pursuant to the advice of such counsel.

         8.6      Wherever the context so requires, words in the masculine
include the feminine and in the feminine include the masculine.

         8.7      This Plan shall be construed, administered and governed in all
respects under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") and, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, by the laws of the State of
Georgia.

                          CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

         9.1      Cause. For purposes of this Plan, a termination for "Cause" is
a termination evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by two-thirds of
the Board that the Participant (i) intentionally and continually failed to
substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than a failure
resulting from the Participant's incapacity due to physical or mental illness)
which failure continued for a period of at least thirty (30) days after written
notice of demand for substantial performance has been delivered to the
Participant specifying the manner in which the Participant has failed to
substantially perform, or (ii) intentionally engaged in conduct which is
demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise;
provided, however that no termination of the Participant's employment shall be
for Cause as set forth in clause (ii) above until (x) there shall have been
delivered to the Participant a copy of a written notice setting forth that the
Participant was guilty of the conduct set forth in clause (ii) and "specifying
the particulars thereof in detail, and (y) the Participant shall have been
provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board (with the assistance of the
Participant's counsel if the Participant so desires). No act, nor failure to
act, on the Participant's part, shall be considered "intentional" unless he has
acted or failed to act, with an absence of good faith and without a reasonable
belief that his action or failure to act was in the best interest of the
Company. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
in the case of any Participant who is a party to a Severance Protection
Agreement, no failure to perform by the Participant after a Notice of
Termination (as defined in the Participant's Severance Protection Agreement) is
given by the Participant shall constitute Cause for purposes of this Plan.

         9.2      Change in Control. For purposes of this Plan, a Change in
Control shall mean any of the following events:

                  (a)      The acquisition (other than from the Company) by any
         "Person" (as the term person is used for purposes of Sections 13(d) or
         14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
         Act")) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
         promulgated under the 1934 Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the
         combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting
         securities; or

                  (b)      The individuals who, as of ______________, 2001, are
         members of the Board (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to
         constitute at least two-thirds of the Board; provided, however, that if
         the election, or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders,
         of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
         the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this
         Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or

                  (c)      A merger or consolidation involving the Company
         if the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger or
         consolidation do not, as a result of such merger or consolidation, own,
         directly or indirectly, more than seventy percent (70%) of the combined
         voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the
         corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation in
         substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined
         voting power of the voting securities of

                                      -14-
<PAGE>   15

         the Company outstanding immediately before such merger or
         consolidation; or

                  (d)      A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company
         or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or
         substantially all of the assets of the Company.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not
         be deemed to occur pursuant to Section (a), solely because twenty
         percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
         then outstanding securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other
         fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans
         maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any
         corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned
         directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in the same
         proportion as their ownership of stock in the Company immediately prior
         to such acquisition.

         9.3      Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant's employment is terminated by the
Company (other than for "Cause") or by the Participant for any reason within two
(2) years following a Change in Control, the Company shall, within five (5)
days, pay to the Participant a lump sum cash payment of his Primary Account and
Company Contribution Account with the interest allowance provided for in Article
IV credited thereto to the date of payment.

         9.4      Amendment or Termination. Any amendment or termination of this
Plan which a Participant reasonably demonstrates (i) was at the request of a
third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated
to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in
anticipation of a Change in Control, and which was not consented to in writing
by the Participant shall be null and void, and shall have no effect whatsoever
with respect to the Participant.
