      follows:

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (1)

    The
      Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
      the Administrator (the “Indemnified Party”) against any losses, claims, damages
      or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may become subject to the extent
      that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or actions in respect thereof
      arise out of or are based upon any act or omission of the Indemnified Party
      in
      connection with the administration of this Plan (other than any act or omission
      of such Indemnified Party constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct),
      and will reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses
      reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with investigating or defending
      against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.  Promptly
      after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any
      action or proceeding with respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability
      against which the Indemnified Party believes he or she is indemnified hereunder,
      the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim with respect thereto is to be made
      against the Indemnifying Party hereunder, notify the Indemnifying Party in
      writing of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the omission so
      to
      notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which
      it
      may have to the Indemnified Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is not
      prejudiced by such omission.  If any such action or proceeding shall
      be brought against the Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying
      Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled
      to
      participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the
      defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party,
      and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its
      election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
      liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal or other expenses
      subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
      thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or reasonable expenses
      of
      actions taken at the written request of the Indemnifying Party.  The
      Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any compromise or settlement of
      any
      such action or proceeding effected without its consent, which consent will
      not
      be unreasonably withheld.

      which
      to discharge its obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust;
      legal and equitable title to any funds so set aside shall remain in the Company,
      and any recipient of benefits hereunder shall have no security or other interest
      in such funds.  Any and all funds so set aside shall remain subject to
      the claims of the general creditors of the Company, present and
      future.  This provision shall not require the Company to set aside any
      funds, but the Company may set aside such funds if it chooses to do
      so.

    THE

      TERMS OF THE PLAN.  THE PLAN IS NOT INTENDED TO QUALIFY UNDER SECTION
      401(a) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, OR TO COMPLY WITH

    Notwithstanding
      any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of a “Specified Employee”
within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any payment
      following a Termination Date (other than by reason of death or disability)
      shall
      be delayed until the later of (i) the Participant’s final Pension Equalizer
      Benefit payment date or (ii) a date which is six months after the Participant
      has incurred a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Section
      409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and accompanying Treasury
      regulations.  For purposes of the Plan, a Participant shall be a
      Specified Employee for the twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of a Plan
      Year if the Participant is a “Key Employee” as defined in Section 416(i) of the

      the members of the Committee and any Administrator designated by the Committee
      (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
      to which any of the Indemnified Parties may become subject to the extent that
      such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or actions in respect thereof arise
      out of or are based upon any act or omission of such Indemnified Party in
      connection with the administration of this Plan (including any act or omission
      constituting negligence on the part of such Indemnified Party, but excluding
      any
      act or omission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
      part
      of such Indemnified Party), and will reimburse the Indemnified Party for any
      legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with
      investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability
      or
      action.

    (b)  Actions.  Promptly
      after receipt by the Indemnified Party under Section 3.02(a) herein of notice
      of
      the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to any loss, claim,
      damage or liability against which the Indemnified Party believes he or she
      is
      indemnified under Section 3.02(a), the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim
      with
      respect thereto is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under such Section,
      notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided,
      however, that the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
      it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party to the extent
      the Indemnifying Party is not prejudiced by such omission.  If any
      such action or proceeding shall be brought against the Indemnified Party and
      it
      shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the
      Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent
      that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
      satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying
      Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof,
      the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under
      Section 3.02(a) for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
      Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
      costs of investigation or reasonable expenses of actions taken at the written
      request of the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall not
      be liable for any compromise or settlement of any such action or proceeding
      effected without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
      withheld.

      may at any time elect to participate in the Plan and to have all, or such
      percentage as he may specify, of the Compensation otherwise payable to him
      as a
      Director deferred and paid to him pursuant to the terms of Section 5.02 or
      Section 6.05, as applicable.  Such deferral election shall be made by
      notice in writing in a manner and form acceptable to the Administrator and
      shall
      be applicable only with respect to Compensation for services performed after
      the
      end of the calendar year in which such deferral election is made and prior
      to
      the earlier of the effective date of a further deferral election pursuant to
      Section 4.02 herein or such Participant’s Deferral Termination
      Date.  At the time of making such initial deferral election hereunder,
      a Director shall specify the portion, if any, of such Deferred Compensation
      which will be (i) held subject to the interest payment provisions of ARTICLE
      V
      hereof or (ii) translated into Stock Equivalents in accordance with ARTICLE
      VI
      hereof.

     

    Section
      4.02          Subsequent
      Deferral Elections by Participants.  Subsequent to the initial
      deferral election by a Participant provided for in Section 4.01, a Participant
      may at any time make a subsequent deferral election in like manner to increase
      or decrease the percentage of his Compensation to be deferred pursuant to the
      Plan and to elect the portion of such Deferred Compensation and any Plan
      Earnings to be (i) held subject to the interest payment provisions of ARTICLE
      V
      hereof or (ii) translated into Stock Equivalents in accordance with ARTICLE
      VI
      hereof.  Any such subsequent deferral election shall be effective as
      of the first day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which
      such
      subsequent deferral election is made.  Notwithstanding anything to the
      contrary herein, no such subsequent deferral election shall effect a transfer
      of
      any amount credited, as of the first day of such calendar year, to either the
      Interest Bearing Account or the Stock Equivalents Account from such account
      to
      the other account.

     

    Section
      4.03          Establishment
      of Interest Bearing Accounts and Stock Equivalents
      Accounts.  There shall be established for each Participant an
      account to be designated as such Participant’s Interest Bearing Account and,
      where appropriate, an account to be designated as such Participant’s Stock
      Equivalents Account.

     

    Section
      4.04          Allocations
      to Accounts.  Any Deferred Compensation earned by a Participant
      during a calendar quarter shall be credited to the Interest Bearing Account
      and/or Stock Equivalents Account of such Participant, as applicable, on the
      date
      any such amount is otherwise payable, and any Plan Earnings shall be credited
      in
      accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01 and 6.02, as
      applicable.

    Section

      Elections.  A Participant may elect, subject to the provisions of
      this Section and Sections 5.02 and 6.05, the form of distribution with respect
      to the Compensation, and Plan Earnings attributable thereto, deferred by the
      Participant and allocated to the Participant’s Interest Bearing Account and
      Stock Equivalents Account, as applicable.  The distribution election
      is not required to be the same for each Account.  A Participant’s
      distribution election under this Section shall be made in writing in a form
      authorized by the Administrator and shall be made at the time the Participant
      makes an initial deferral election under Section 4.01 or a subsequent deferral
      election under Section 4.02.  Any individual who was a Participant at
      any time during calendar year 2007 must make a distribution election before
      December 31, 2007, with such election becoming irrevocable as of January 1,
      2008. A Participant may elect distribution in the form of a lump sum, five
      equal annual installments or ten equal annual installments.  Absent
      any such distribution election by a Participant, the Participant’s Interest
      Bearing Account and Stock Equivalents Account will be distributed in the form
      of
      a lump sum distribution.

    INTEREST

     

    

     

    Section
      5.01          Interest.  A
      Participant’s Interest Bearing Account shall be credited as of the end of each
      calendar quarter with an amount equivalent to interest for the number of days
      in
      such quarter (based on a calendar year of 365 days) at Citibank, N.A.’s prime
      rate for major corporate borrowers in effect on the first day of such calendar
      quarter applied to the balance of such account at the beginning of such calendar
      quarter.  (No amount credited to a Participant’s Interest Bearing
      Account subsequent to the beginning of a calendar quarter shall bear interest
      during that calendar quarter.) Notwithstanding any provision to the
      contrary, if a Participant has both an Interest Bearing Account and a Stock
      Equivalents Account and as of January 1, 1999 the Participant ceased making
      additional deferrals into the Interest Bearing Account, the interest
      subsequently earned with respect to the Interest Bearing Account shall be
      credited to the Participant’s Stock Equivalents Account as of the end of each
      calendar quarter.

     

    Section
      5.02          Distribution
      of Interest Bearing Accounts.  When a Participant’s Deferral
      Termination Date occurs, the balance standing in such Participant’s Interest
      Bearing Account at the end of the calendar quarter in which such date occurs
      (after crediting interest thereto in accordance with Section 5.01 herein) shall
      be distributed to such Participant in the form provided under Section 4.05
      hereof.

     

    Until
      payment is made, interest shall continue to accrue in the manner provided in
      Section 5.01.  All Plan Earnings accrued to the date of payment of any
      lump-sum or annual installment shall be paid in conjunction with such
      payment.  The lump-sum payment or the initial annual installment shall
      be distributed on the last business day of January next following the close
      of
      the calendar year in which the Participant’s Deferral Termination Date
      occurs.  The remaining installments, if any, shall be distributed at
      annual intervals thereafter.

     

    If
      a
      Participant’s Deferral Termination Date occurs by reason of his death or if he
      dies after his Deferral Termination Date, but prior to receipt of all
      distributions provided for in this Section, all cash distributable hereunder
      shall be distributed in a lump sum to such Participant’s estate or personal
      representative as soon as administratively feasible following such Participant’s
      death.

      Equivalents Accounts.  The number of Stock Equivalents, or
      fractions thereof, to be credited to a Participant’s Stock Equivalents Account
      in accordance with Section 4.04 shall be determined by dividing the amount
      of
      Deferred Compensation and Plan Earnings to be allocated to such account pursuant
      to the Participant’s specifications given in accordance with Article IV by the
      Market Price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day next preceding the
      last business day of the calendar quarter specified in Section
      4.04.  The number of Stock Equivalents, so determined, shall be

      Participant’s participation in the Plan, and thereafter until all distributions
      to which the Participant is entitled under Section 6.05 or ARTICLE VIII shall
      have been made, in amounts equal to the Plan Earnings consisting of the cash
      or
      fair market value of any dividends or distributions declared and made with
      respect to the Company’s common stock payable in cash, securities issued by the
      Company (other than the Company’s common stock but including any such securities
      convertible into the Company’s common stock) or other property which the
      Participant would have received from time to time had he been the owner on
      the
      record dates for the payment of such dividends of the number of shares of the
      Company’s common stock equal to the number of Stock Equivalents in his Stock
      Equivalents Account on such dates.  Each such credit shall be effected
      as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution.

     

    Section

      Dividend Credits.  Additional credits shall be made to a

      participation in the Plan, and thereafter until all distributions to which
      the
      Participant is entitled under Section 6.05 or ARTICLE VIII shall have been
      made,
      of a number of Stock Equivalents equal to the number of shares (including
      fractional shares) of the Company’s common stock to which the Participant would
      have been entitled from time to time as common stock dividends had such
      Participant been the owner on the record dates for the payments of such stock
      dividends of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the
      number of Stock Equivalents credited to his Stock Equivalents Account on such
      dates.  Such additional credits shall be effected as of the end of the
      calendar quarter in which payment of such stock dividend is made.

    Section
      6.04          Recapitalization.  If,
      as a result of a split or combination of the Company’s outstanding common stock
      or other recapitalization or reorganization, the number of shares of the
      Company’s outstanding common stock is increased or decreased or all or a portion
      of the Company’s outstanding common stock is exchanged for or converted into
      other securities issued by the Company (including without limitation securities
      convertible into the Company’s common stock) or other property, the number of
      Stock Equivalents credited to a Participant’s Stock Equivalents Account shall,
      to the extent reasonably practicable, be equitably adjusted to give effect
      to
      such recapitalization or reorganization (taking into account the fair market
      value of any securities or other property for which the Company’s common stock
      was exchanged or into which it was converted) as if the Participant had owned
      of
      record on the effective date of such recapitalization or reorganization a number
      of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of Stock Equivalents
      credited to his Stock Equivalents Account immediately prior
      thereto.  To the extent that any such adjustment is not reasonably
      practicable, the Board of Directors shall give consideration to amending the
      Plan pursuant to ARTICLE IX in order to give effect to the purpose of the Plan
      and, if no such amendments can be effected or are considered desirable, to
      terminating the Plan pursuant to ARTICLE VIII.

     

    Section
      6.05          Distributions
      from Stock Equivalent Account After Participant’s
      Deferral  Termination Date.  When a Participant’s
      Deferral Termination Date occurs, the Company shall become obligated to make
      the
      distributions prescribed in paragraphs (a) and (b) below.  At the time
      of any distribution, each Stock Equivalent to be distributed shall be converted
      into one share of the Company’s common stock and such share shall be distributed
      to the Participant.  Any fraction of a Stock Equivalent to be
      distributed shall be converted into an amount in cash equal to the Market Price
      of one share of the Company’s common stock on the trading day next preceding the
      date of distribution multiplied by such fraction and such cash shall be
      distributed to the Participant.

     

    (a)  Distribution
      shall be made in the form provided under Section 4.05 hereof.  Until
      payment is made, Plan Earnings shall continue to be credited in the manner
      provided in Section 6.02.  All Plan Earnings accrued to the date of
      any lump-sum distribution or annual installment shall be paid in conjunction
      with such payment.  The lump-sum or the initial annual installment
      shall be distributed on the last business day of January next following the
      close of the calendar year in which the Participant’s Deferral Termination Date
      occurs.  The remaining installments, if any, shall be distributed at
      annual intervals thereafter.

     

    (b)  If
      a
      Participant’s Deferral Termination Date shall occur by reason of his death or if
      he shall die after his Deferral Termination Date but prior to receipt of all
      distributions provided for in this Section, all Stock Equivalents, or the
      undistributed balance thereof, shall be distributed to such Participant’s estate
      or personal representative as soon as administratively feasible following such
      Participant’s death.

    The

      which
      to discharge its obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a

      remain in the Company, and any recipient of benefits hereunder shall have no
      security or other interest in such funds.  Any and all funds so set
      aside shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the
      Company, present and future.  This provision shall not require the
      Company to set aside any funds, but the Company may set aside such funds if
      it
      chooses to do so.

    Section
      10.01        No
      Preference.  No Participant shall have any preference over the
      general creditors of the Company in the event of the Company’s
      insolvency.

     

    Section
      10.02        Authorized
      Payments.

     

    (a)  If
      the
      Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that any person entitled to
      receive a periodic payment hereunder is, at the time the benefit is payable,
      physically, mentally or legally incompetent to receive such payment and to
      give
      a valid receipt therefore, and that an individual or institution is then
      maintaining or has custody of such person and that no guardian, committee or
      other representative of the estate of such person has been duly appointed,
      the
      Committee may direct that such periodic payment or portion thereof be paid
      to
      such individual or institution maintaining or having custody of such person,
      and
      the receipt of such individual or institution shall be valid and a complete
      discharge for the payment of such benefit.

     

    (b)  Payments
      to be made hereunder may, at the written request of the Participant, be made
      to
      a bank account designated by such Participant, provided that deposits to the
      credit of such Participant in any bank or trust company shall be deemed payment
      into his hands.

     

    (c)  Notwithstanding
      any other provisions of the Plan, if any amounts payable under the Plan are
      found in a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the
      Internal Revenue Code of 1986) to have been includible in gross income of a
      Participant prior to payment of such amounts hereunder, such amounts shall
      be
      paid to such Participant as soon as practicable after the Committee is advised
      of such determination.  For purposes of this paragraph, the Committee
      shall be entitled to rely on an affidavit by a Participant and a copy of the
      determination to the effect that a determination described in the preceding
      sentence has occurred.

      Words.  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.
