excludes ______________________________________________________________________
[Note: Enter "N/A "if no exclusions apply.]

If the Employer requires Net Profits for matching contributions and the Employer
does not have sufficient Net Profits under Option (g), it will reduce the
matching contribution under a fixed formula on a prorata basis for all
Participants. A Participant's share of the reduced contribution will bear the
same ratio as the matching contribution the Participant would have received if
Net Profits were sufficient bears to the total matching contribution all
Participants would have received if Net Profits were sufficient. If more than
one member of a related group (as defined in Section 1.30) execute this Adoption
Agreement, each participating member will determine Net Profits separately but
will not apply this reduction unless, after combining the separately determined
Net Profits, the aggregate Net Profits are insufficient to satisfy the matching
contribution liability. "Net Profits" includes both current and accumulated Net

Account of each Participant who satisfies the conditions of Section 3.06, in
accordance with the allocation method selected under this Section 3.04. If the

Compensation allocated to all Participants, "Compensation" does not include any
exclusions elected under Adoption Agreement Section 1.12 (other than the
exclusion of elective contributions), and the Advisory Committee must take into
account the Participant's Compensation for the entire Plan Year. (Choose an
allocation method under (e), (f), (g) or (h); (i) is mandatory if the Employer

[N/A]   (e) NONINTEGRATED ALLOCATION FORMULA. (Choose (1) or (2))

        [N/A]   (1) The Advisory Committee will allocate the annual nonelective
                contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's
                Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation
                of all Participants for the Plan Year.

        [N/A]   (2) The Advisory Committee will allocate the annual nonelective
                contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's
                Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation
                of all Participants for the Plan Year. For purposes of this
                Option (2), "Participant" means, in addition to a Participant
                who satisfies the requirements of Section 3.06 for the Plan
                Year, any other Participant entitled to a top heavy minimum
                allocation under Section 3.04(b), but such Participant's
                allocation will not exceed 3% of his Compensation for the Plan
                Year.

[N/A]   (f) TWO-TIERED INTEGRATED ALLOCATION FORMULA - MAXIMUM DISPARITY. First,
        the Advisory Committee will allocate the annual Employer nonelective
        contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's Compensation
        plus Excess Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total
        Compensation plus Excess Compensation of all Participants for the Plan
        Year. The allocation under this paragraph, as a percentage of each
        Participant's Compensation plus Excess Compensation, must not exceed the
        applicable percentage (5.7%, 5.4% or 4.3%) listed under the Maximum
        Disparity Table following Option (i).

<PAGE>   14

        The Advisory Committee then will allocate any remaining nonelective
        contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's Compensation for
        the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all Participants for
        the Plan Year.

[N/A]   (g) THREE-TIERED INTEGRATED ALLOCATION FORMULA. First, the Advisory
        Committee will allocate the annual Employer nonelective contributions in
        the same ratio that each Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year
        bears to the total Compensation of all Participants for the Plan Year.
        The allocation under this paragraph, as a percentage of each
        Participant's Compensation may not exceed the applicable percentage
        (5.7%, 5.4% or 4.3%) listed under the Maximum Disparity Table following
        Option (i). Solely for purposes of the allocation in this first
        paragraph, "Participant" means, in addition to a Participant who
        satisfies the requirements of Section 3.06 for the Plan Year: (Choose
        (1) or (2))

        [NIA)   (1) No other Participant.

        [N/A]   (2) Any other Participant entitled to a top heavy minimum
                allocation under Section 3.04(b), but such Participant's
                allocation under this Option (g) will not exceed 3% of his
                Compensation for the Plan Year.

        As a second tier allocation, the Advisory Committee will allocate the
        nonelective contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's
        Excess Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Excess
        Compensation of all Participants for the Plan Year. The allocation under
        this paragraph, as a percentage of each Participant's Excess
        Compensation, may not exceed the allocation percentage in the first
        paragraph.

        Finally, the Advisory Committee will allocate any remaining nonelective
        contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's Compensation for
        the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all Participants for
        the Plan Year.

[X]     (h) FOUR-TIERED INTEGRATED ALLOCATION FORMULA. First, the Advisory
        Committee will allocate the annual Employer nonelective contributions in
        the same ratio that each Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year
        bears to the total Compensation of all Participants for the Plan Year,
        but not exceeding 3% of each Participant's Compensation. Solely for
        purposes of this first tier allocation, a "Participant" means, in
        addition to any Participant who satisfies the requirements of Section
        3.06 for the Plan Year, any other Participant entitled to atop heavy
        minimum allocation under Section 3.04(b) of the Plan.

        As a second tier allocation, the Advisory Committee will allocate the
        nonelective contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's
        Excess Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Excess
        Compensation of all Participants for the Plan Year, but not exceeding 3%
        of each Participant's Excess Compensation.

        As a third tier allocation, the Advisory Committee will allocate the
        annual Employer contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's
        Compensation plus Excess Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the
        total Compensation plus Excess Compensation of all Participants for the
        Plan Year. The allocation under this paragraph, as a percentage of each
        Participant's Compensation plus Excess Compensation, must not exceed the
        applicable percentage (2.7%, 2.4% or 1.3%) listed under the Maximum
        Disparity Table following Option (i).

        The Advisory Committee then will allocate any remaining nonelective
        contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's Compensation for
        the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all Participants for
        the Plan Year.

        3.04 by the Participant's allocation under the following qualified
        plan(s) maintained by the Employer: ___________________________________.

        The Advisory Committee will determine this allocation reduction: (Choose

        [N/A]   (1) By treating the term "nonelective contribution" as including
                all amounts paid or accrued by the Employer during the Plan Year
                to the qualified plan(s) referenced under this Option (j). If a
                Participant under this Plan also participates in that other
                plan, the Advisory Committee will treat the amount the Employer
                contributes for or during a Plan Year on behalf of a particular
                Participant under such other plan as an amount allocated under
                this Plan to that Participant's Account for that Plan Year. The
                Advisory Committee will make the computation of allocation
                required under the immediately preceding sentence before making

                     CALIFORNIA CENTRAL TRUST BANK SPONSORED

              DEFINED CONTRIBUTION MASTER PLAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT
                            BASIC PLAN DOCUMENT # 01

        California Central Trust Bank sponsored, in its capacity as Master Plan
Sponsor, establishes this Master Plan intended to conform to and qualify under
Section 401 and Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. An
Employer establishes a Plan and Trust under this Master Plan by executing an
Adoption Agreement. If the Employer adopts this Plan as a restated Plan in
substitution for, and in amendment of, an existing plan, the provisions of this
Plan, as a restated Plan, apply solely to an Employee whose employment with the
Employer terminates on or after the restated Effective Date of the Employer's
Plan. If an Employee's employment with the Employer terminates prior to the
restated Effective Date, that Employee is entitled to benefits under the Plan as
the Plan existed on the date of the Employee's termination of employment.

                                    ARTICLE I
                                   DEFINITIONS

        1.01 "Employer" means each employer who adopts this Plan by executing an
Adoption Agreement.

        1.02 "Trustee" means the person or persons who as Trustee execute the
Employer's Adoption Agreement, or any successor in office who in writing accepts
the position of Trustee. The Employer must designate in its Adoption Agreement
whether the Trustee will administer the Trust as a discretionary Trustee or as a
nondiscretionary Trustee. If a person acts as a discretionary Trustee, the
Employer also may appoint a Custodian. See Article X. If the Master Plan Sponsor
is a bank, savings and loan, credit union or similar financial institution, a
person other than the Master Plan Sponsor (or its affiliate) may not serve as
Trustee or as Custodian of the Employer's Plan without the written consent of
the Master Plan Sponsor.

        1.03 "Plan" means the retirement plan established or continued by the
Employer in the form of this Agreement, including the Adoption Agreement under
which the Employer has elected to participate in this Master Plan. The Employer
must designate the name of the Plan in its Adoption Agreement. An Employer may
execute more than one Adoption Agreement offered under this Master Plan, each of
which will constitute a separate Plan and Trust established or continued by that
Employer. The Plan and the Trust created by each adopting Employer is a separate
Plan and a separate Trust, independent from the plan and the trust of any other
employer adopting this Master Plan. All section references within the Plan are
Plan section references unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

        1.04 "Adoption Agreement" means the document executed by each Employer
adopting this Master Plan. The terms of this Master Plan as modified by the
terms of an adopting Employer's Adoption Agreement constitute a separate Plan
and Trust to be construed as a single Agreement. Each elective provision of the
Adoption Agreement corresponds by section reference to the section of the Plan
which grants the election. Each Adoption Agreement offered under this Master
Plan is either a Nonstandardized Plan or a Standardized Plan, as identified in
the preamble to that Adoption Agreement. The provisions of this Master Plan
apply equally to Nonstandardized Plans and to Standardized Plans unless
otherwise specified.

                                      1.01
<PAGE>   46

        1.05 "Plan Administrator" is the Employer unless the Employer designates
another person to hold the position of Plan Administrator. In addition to his
other duties, the Plan Administrator has full responsibility for compliance with
the reporting and disclosure rules under ERISA as respects this Agreement.

        1.06 "Advisory Committee" means the Employer's Advisory Committee as
from time to time constituted.

        1.07 "Employee" means any employee (including a Self-Employed
Individual) of the Employer. The Employer must specify in its Adoption Agreement
any Employee, or class of Employees, not eligible to participate in the Plan. If
the Employer elects to exclude collective bargaining employees, the exclusion
applies to any employee of the Employer included in a unit of employees covered
by an agreement which the Secretary of Labor finds to be a collective bargaining
agreement between employee representatives and one or more employers unless the
collective bargaining agreement requires the employee to be included within the
Plan. The term "employee representatives" does not include any organization more
than half the members of which are owners, officers, or executives of the
Employer.

        1.08 "Self-Employed Individual/Owner-Employee." "Self-Employed
Individual" means an individual who has Earned Income (or who would have had
Earned Income but for the fact that the trade or business did not have net
earnings) for the taxable year from the trade or business for which the Plan is
established. "Owner-Employee" means a Self-Employed Individual who is the sole
proprietor in the case of a sole proprietorship. If the Employer is a
partnership, "Owner-Employee" means a Self-Employed Individual who is a partner
and owns more than 10% of either the capital or profits interest of the
partnership.

        1.09 "Highly Compensated Employee" means an Employee who, during the
Plan Year or during the preceding 12-month period:

        (a) is a more than 5% owner of the Employer (applying the constructive
        ownership rules of Code Section 318, and applying the principles of Code
        Section 318, for an unincorporated entity);

        (b) has Compensation in excess of $75,000 (as adjusted by the
        Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the relevant year);

        (c) has Compensation in excess of $50,000 (as adjusted by the
        Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the relevant year) and is part of
        the top-paid 20% group of employees (based on Compensation for the
        relevant year); or

        (d) has Compensation in excess of 50% of the dollar amount prescribed in
        Code Section 415(b)(1)(A) (relating to defined benefit plans) and is an
        officer of the Employer.

        If the Employee satisfies the definition in clause (b), (c) or (d) in
the Plan Year but does not satisfy clause (b), (c) or (d) during the preceding
12-month period and does not satisfy clause (a) in either period, the Employee
is a Highly Compensated Employee only if he is one of the 100 most highly
compensated Employees for the Plan Year. The number of officers taken into
account under clause (d) will not exceed the greater of 3 or 10% of the total
number (after application of the Code Section 414(q) exclusions) of Employees,
but no more than 50 officers. If no Employee satisfies the Compensation
requirement in clause (d) for the relevant year, the Advisory Committee will
treat the highest paid officer as satisfying clause (d) for that year.

        For purposes of this Section 1.09, "Compensation" means Compensation as
defined in Section 1.12, except any exclusions from Compensation elected in the
Employer's Adoption Agreement Section 1.12 do not apply, and Compensation must
include "elective contributions" (as defined in Section 1.12). The Advisory
Committee must make the determination of who is a Highly Compensated Employee,
including the determinations of the number and identity of the top paid 20%
group, the top 100 paid Employees, the number of officers includible in clause
(d) and the relevant Compensation, consistent with Code Section 414(q) and
regulations issued under that Code section. The Employer may make a calendar
year election to

                                      1.02
<PAGE>   47
determine the Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, as prescribed by
Treasury regulations. A calendar year election must apply to all plans and
arrangements of the Employer. For purposes of applying any nondiscrimination
test required under the Plan or under the Code, in a manner consistent with
applicable Treasury regulations, the Advisory Committee will treat a Highly
Compensated Employee and all family members (a spouse, a lineal ascendant or
descendant, or a spouse of a lineal ascendant or descendant) as a single Highly
Compensated Employee, but only if the Highly Compensated Employee is a more than
5% owner or is one of the 10 Highly Compensated Employees with the greatest
Compensation for the Plan Year. This aggregation rule applies to a family member
even if that family member is a Highly Compensated Employee without family
aggregation.

        The term "Highly Compensated Employee" also includes any former Employee
who separated from Service (or has a deemed Separation from Service, as
determined under Treasury regulations) prior to the Plan Year, performs no
Service for the Employer during the Plan Year, and was a Highly Compensated
Employee either for the separation year or any Plan Year ending on or after his
55th birthday. If the former Employee's Separation from Service occurred prior
to January 1, 1987, he is a Highly Compensated Employee only if he satisfied
clause (a) of this Section 1.09 or received Compensation in excess of $50,000
during: (1) the year of his Separation from Service (or the prior year); or (2)
any year ending after his 54th birthday.

        1.10 "Participant" is an Employee who is eligible to be and becomes a
Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01.

        1.11 "Beneficiary" is a person designated by a Participant who is or may
become entitled to a benefit under the Plan. A Beneficiary who becomes entitled
to a benefit under the Plan remains a Beneficiary under the Plan until the
Trustee has fully distributed his benefit to him. A Beneficiary's right to (and
the Plan Administrator's, the Advisory Committee's or a Trustee's duty to
provide to the Beneficiary) information or data concerning the Plan does not
arise until he first becomes entitled to receive a benefit under the Plan.

        1.12 "Compensation" means, except as provided in the Employer's Adoption
Agreement, the Participant's Earned Income, wages, salaries, fees for
professional service and other amounts received for personal services actually
rendered in the course of employment with the Employer maintaining the plan
(including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen, compensation for
services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance
premiums, tips and bonuses). The Employer must elect in its Adoption Agreement
whether to include elective contributions in the definition of Compensation.
"Elective contributions" are amounts excludible from the Employee's gross income
under Code Sections 125, 402(a)(8), 402(h) or 403(b), and contributed by the
Employer, at the Employee's election, to a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, a
Simplified Employee Pension, cafeteria plan or tax-sheltered annuity. The term
"Compensation" does not include:

        (a) Employer contributions (other than "elective contributions," if
        includible in the definition of Compensation under Section 1.12 of the
        Employer's Adoption Agreement) to a plan of deferred compensation to the
        extent the contributions are not included in the gross income of the
        Employee for the taxable year in which contributed, on behalf of an
        Employee to a Simplified Employee Pension Plan to the extent such
        contributions are excludible from the Employee's gross income, and any
        distributions from a plan of deferred compensation, regardless of
        whether such amounts are includible in the gross income of the Employee
        when distributed.

        (b) Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option,
        or when restricted stock (or property) held by an Employee either
        becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial
        risk of forfeiture.

        (c) Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of
        stock acquired under a stock option described in Part II, Subchapter D,
        Chapter 1 of the Code.

                                      1.03
<PAGE>   48

        (d) Other amounts which receive special tax benefits, such as premiums
        for group term life insurance (but only to the extent that the premiums
        are not includible in the gross income of the Employee), or
        contributions made by an Employer (whether or not under a salary
        reduction agreement) towards the purchase of an annuity contract
        described in Code Section 403(b) (whether or not the contributions are
        excludible from the gross income of the Employee), other than "elective
        contributions," if elected in the Employer's Adoption Agreement.

        Any reference in this Plan to Compensation is a reference to the
definition in this Section 1.12, unless the Plan reference specifies a
modification to this definition. The Advisory Committee will take into account
only Compensation actually paid for the relevant period. A Compensation payment
includes Compensation by the Employer through another person under the common
paymaster provisions in Code Sections 3121 and 3306.

(A) LIMITATIONS ON COMPENSATION.

        (1) COMPENSATION DOLLAR LIMITATION. For any Plan Year beginning after
December 31, 1988, the Advisory Committee must take into account only the first
$200,000 (or beginning January 1, 1990, such larger amount as the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue may prescribe) of any Participant's Compensation. For any
Plan Year beginning prior to January 1, 1989, this $200,000 limitation (but not
the family aggregation requirement described in the next paragraph) applies only
if the Plan is top heavy for such Plan Year or operates as a deemed top heavy
plan for such Plan Year.

        (2) APPLICATION OF COMPENSATION LIMITATION TO CERTAIN FAMILY MEMBERS.
The $200,000 Compensation limitation applies to the combined Compensation of the
Employee and of any family member aggregated with the Employee under Section
1.09 who is either (i) the Employee's spouse; or (ii) the Employee's lineal
descendant under the age of 19. If, for a Plan Year, the combined Compensation
of the Employee and such family members who are Participants entitled to an
allocation for that Plan Year exceeds the $200,000 (or adjusted) limitation,
"Compensation" for each such Participant, for purposes of the contribution and
allocation provisions of Article III, means his Adjusted Compensation. Adjusted
Compensation is the amount which bears the same ratio to the $200,000 (or
adjusted) limitation as the affected Participant's Compensation (without regard
to the $200,000 Compensation limitation) bears to the combined Compensation of
all the affected Participants in the family unit. If the Plan uses permitted
disparity, the Advisory Committee must determine the integration level of each
affected family member Participant prior to the proration of the $200,000
Compensation limitation, but the combined integration level of the affected
Participants may not exceed $200,000 (or the adjusted limitation). The combined
Excess Compensation of the affected Participants in the family unit may not
exceed $200,000 (or the adjusted limitation) minus the affected Participants'
combined integration level (as determined under the preceding sentence). If the
combined Excess Compensation exceeds this limitation, the Advisory Committee
will prorate the Excess Compensation limitation among the affected Participants
in the family unit in proportion to each such individual's Adjusted Compensation
minus his integration level. If the Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan,
the Employer may elect to use a different method in determining the Adjusted
Compensation of the affected Participants by specifying that method in an
addendum to the Adoption Agreement, numbered Section 1.12.

(B) NONDISCRIMINATION. For purposes of determining whether the Plan
discriminates in favor of Highly Compensated Employees, Compensation means
Compensation as defined in this Section 1.12, except: (1) the Employer may elect
to include or to exclude elective contributions, irrespective of the Employer's
election in its Adoption Agreement regarding elective contributions; and (2) the
Employer will not give effect to any elections made in the "modifications to
Compensation definition" section of Adoption Agreement Section 1.12. The
Employer's election described in clause (1) must be consistent and uniform with
respect to all Employees and ail plans of the Employer for any particular Plan
Year. If the Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer,
irrespective of clause (2), may elect to exclude from this nondiscrimination
definition of Compensation any items of Compensation excludible under Code
Section 414(s) and the applicable Treasury regulations, provided such adjusted
definition conforms to the

                                      1.04
<PAGE>   49

nondiscrimination requirements of those regulations.

        1.13 "Earned Income" means net earnings from self-employment in the
trade or business with respect to which the Employer has established the Plan,
provided personal services of the individual are a material income producing
factor. The Advisory Committee will determine net earnings without regard to
items excluded from gross income and the deductions allocable to those items.
The Advisory Committee will determine net earnings after the deduction allowed
to the Self-Employed Individual for all contributions made by the Employer to a
qualified plan and, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1989, the
deduction allowed to the Self-Employed under Code Section 164(f) for
self-employment taxes.

        1.14 "Account" means the separate account(s) which the Advisory
Committee or the Trustee maintains for a Participant under the Employer's Plan.

        1.15 "Accrued Benefit" means the amount standing in a Participant's
Account(s) as of any date derived from both Employer contributions and Employee
contributions, if any.

        1.16 "Nonforfeitable" means a Participant's or Beneficiary's
unconditional claim, legally enforceable against the Plan, to the Participant's
Accrued Benefit.

        1.17 "Plan Year" means the fiscal year of the Plan, the consecutive
month period specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. The Employer's
Adoption Agreement also must specify the "Limitation Year" applicable to the
limitations on allocations described in Article III. If the Employer maintains
Paired Plans, each Plan must have the same Plan Year.

        1.18 "Effective Date" of this Plan is the date specified in the
Employer's Adoption Agreement.

        1.19 "Plan Entry Date" means the date(s) specified in Section 2.01 of
the Employer's Adoption Agreement.

        1.20 "Accounting Date" is the last day of an Employer's Plan Year.
Unless otherwise specified in the Plan, the Advisory Committee will make all
Plan allocations for a particular Plan Year as of the Accounting Date of that
Plan Year.

        1.21 "Trust" means the separate Trust created under the Employer's Plan.

        1.22 "Trust Fund" means all property of every kind held or acquired by
the Employer's Plan, other than incidental benefit insurance contracts.

        1.23 "Nontransferable Annuity" means an annuity which by its terms
provides that it may not be sold, assigned, discounted, pledged as collateral
for a loan or security for the performance of an obligation or for any purpose
to any person other than the insurance company. If the Plan distributes an
annuity contract, the contract must be a Nontransferable Annuity.

        1.24 "ERISA" means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended.

        1.25 "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        1.26 "Service" means any period of time the Employee is in the employ of
the Employer, including any period the Employee is on an unpaid leave of absence
authorized by the Employer under a uniform, nondiscriminatory policy applicable
to all Employees. "Separation from Service" means the Employee no longer has an
employment relationship with the Employer maintaining this Plan.

                                      1.05
<PAGE>   50

        1.27 "Hour of Service" means:

        (a) Each Hour of Service for which the Employer, either directly or
        indirectly, pays an Employee, or for which the Employee is entitled to
        payment, for the performance of duties. The Advisory Committee credits
        Hours of Service under this paragraph (a) to the Employee for the
        computation period in which the Employee performs the duties,
        irrespective of when paid;

        (b) Each Hour of Service for back pay, irrespective of mitigation of
        damages, to which the Employer has agreed or for which the Employee has
        received an award. The Advisory Committee credits Hours of Service under
        this paragraph (b) to the Employee for the computation period(s) to
        which the award or the agreement pertains rather than for the
        computation period in which the award, agreement or payment is made; and

        (c) Each Hour of Service for which the Employer, either directly or
        indirectly, pays an Employee, or for which the Employee is entitled to
        payment (irrespective of whether the employment relationship is
        terminated), for reasons other than for the performance of duties during
        a computation period, such as leave of absence, vacation, holiday, sick
        leave, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty or
        military duty. The Advisory Committee will credit no more than 501 Hours
        of Service under this paragraph (c) to an Employee on account of any
        single continuous period during which the Employee does not perform any
        duties (whether or not such period occurs during a single computation
        period). The Advisory Committee credits Hours of Service under this
        paragraph (c) in accordance with the rules of paragraphs (b) and (c) of
        Labor Reg. Section 2530.200b-2, which the Plan, by this reference,
        specifically incorporates in full within this paragraph (c).

        The Advisory Committee will not credit an Hour of Service under more
than one of the above paragraphs. A computation period for purposes of this
Section 1.27 is the Plan Year, Year of Service period, Break in Service period
or other period, as determined under the Plan provision for which the Advisory
Committee is measuring an Employee's Hours of Service. The Advisory Committee
will resolve any ambiguity with respect to the crediting of an Hour of Service
in favor of the Employee.

(A) METHOD OF CREDITING HOURS OF SERVICE. The Employer must elect in its
Adoption Agreement the method the Advisory Committee will use in crediting an
Employee with Hours of Service. For purposes of the Plan, "actual" method means
the determination of Hours of Service from records of hours worked and hours for
which the Employer makes payment or for which payment is due from the Employer.
If the Employer elects to apply an "equivalency" method, for each equivalency
period for which the Advisory Committee would credit the Employee with at least
one Hour of Service, the Advisory Committee will credit the Employee with: (i)
10 Hours of Service for a daily equivalency; (ii) 45 Hours of Service for a
weekly equivalency; (iii) 95 Hours of Service for a semimonthly payroll period
equivalency; and (iv) 190 Hours of Service for a monthly equivalency.

(B) MATERNITY/PATERNITY LEAVE. Solely for purposes of determining whether the
Employee incurs a Break in Service under any provision of this Plan, the
Advisory Committee must credit Hours of Service during an Employee's unpaid
absence period due to maternity or paternity leave. The Advisory Committee
considers an Employee on maternity or paternity leave if the Employee's absence
is due to the Employee's pregnancy, the birth of the Employee's child, the
placement with the Employee of an adopted child, or the care of the Employee's
child immediately following the child's birth or placement. The Advisory
Committee credits Hours of Service under this paragraph on the basis of the
number of Hours of Service the Employee would receive if he were paid during the
absence period or, if the Advisory Committee cannot determine the number of
Hours of Service the Employee would receive, on the basis of 8 hours per day
during the absence period. The Advisory Committee will credit only the number
(not exceeding 501) of Hours of Service necessary to prevent an Employee's Break
in Service. The Advisory Committee credits all Hours of Service described in
this paragraph to the computation period in which the absence period begins or,
if the Employee does not need these Hours of Service to prevent a Break in
Service in the computation period in which his absence period begins, the
Advisory Committee credits these Hours of Service to the

                                      1.06
<PAGE>   51

immediately following computation period.

        1.28 "Disability" means the Participant, because of a physical or mental
disability, will be unable to perform the duties of his customary position of
employment (or is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity) for an
indefinite period which the Advisory Committee considers will be of long
continued duration. A Participant also is disabled if he incurs the permanent
loss or loss of use of a member or function of the body, or is permanently
disfigured, and incurs a Separation from Service. The Plan considers a
Participant disabled on the date the Advisory Committee determines the
Participant satisfies the definition of disability. The Advisory Committee may
require a Participant to submit to a physical examination in order to confirm
disability. The Advisory Committee will apply the provisions of this Section
1.28 in a nondiscriminatory, consistent and uniform manner. If the Employer's
Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer may provide an alternate definition
of disability in an addendum to its Adoption Agreement, numbered Section 1.28.

        1.29 SERVICE FOR PREDECESSOR EMPLOYER. If the Employer maintains the
plan of a predecessor employer, the Plan treats service of the Employee with the
predecessor employer as service with the Employer. If the Employer does not
maintain the plan of a predecessor employer, the Plan does not credit service
with the predecessor employer, unless the Employer identifies the predecessor in
its Adoption Agreement and specifies the purposes for which the Plan will credit
service with that predecessor employer.

        1.30 RELATED EMPLOYERS. A related group is a controlled group of
corporations (as defined in Code Section 414(b)), trades or businesses (whether
or not incorporated) which are under common control (as defined in Code Section
414(c)) or an affiliated service group (as defined in Code Section 414(m) or in
Code Section 414(o)). If the Employer is a member of a related group, the term
"Employer" includes the related group members for purposes of crediting Hours of
Service, determining Years of Service and Breaks in Service under Articles II
and V, applying the Participation Test and the Coverage Test under Section
3.06(E), applying the limitations on allocations in Part 2 of Article III,
applying the top heavy rules and the minimum allocation requirements of Article
III, the definitions of Employee, Highly Compensated Employee, Compensation and
Leased Employee, and for any other purpose required by the applicable Code
section or by a Plan provision. However, an Employer may contribute to the Plan
only by being a signatory to the Execution Page of the Adoption Agreement or to
a Participation Agreement to the Employer's Adoption Agreement. If one or more
of the Employer's related group members become Participating Employers by
executing a Participation Agreement to the Employer's Adoption Agreement, the
term "Employer" includes the participating related group members for all
purposes of the Plan, and "Plan Administrator" means the Employer that is the
signatory to the Execution Page of the Adoption Agreement.

        If the Employer's Plan is a Standardized Plan, all Employees of the
Employer or of any member of the Employer's related group, are eligible to
participate in the Plan, irrespective of whether the related group member
directly employing the Employee is a Participating Employer. If the Employer's
Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer must specify in Section 1.07 of its
Adoption Agreement, whether the Employees of related group members that are not
Participating Employers are eligible to participate in the Plan. Under a
Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer may elect to exclude from the definition of
"Compensation" for allocation purposes any Compensation received from a related
employer that has not executed a Participation Agreement and whose Employees are
not eligible to participate in the Plan.

        1.31 LEASED EMPLOYEES. The Plan treats a Leased Employee as an Employee
of the Employer. A Leased Employee is an individual (who otherwise is not an
Employee of the Employer) who, pursuant to a leasing agreement between the
Employer and any other person, has performed services for the Employer (or for
the Employer and any persons related to the Employer within the meaning of Code
Section 144(a)(3)) on a substantially full time basis for at least one year and
who performs services historically performed by employees in the Employer's
business field. If a Leased Employee is treated as an Employee by reason of this
Section 1.31 of the Plan, "Compensation" includes Compensation from the leasing
organization which is attributable to service performed for the Employer.

                                      1.07
<PAGE>   52

(A) SAFE HARBOR PLAN EXCEPTION. The Plan does not treat a Leased Employee as an
Employee if the leasing organization covers the employee in a safe harbor plan
and, prior to application of this safe harbor plan exception, 20% or less of the
Employer's Employees (other than Highly Compensated Employees) are Leased
Employees. A safe harbor plan is a money purchase pension plan providing
immediate participation, full and immediate vesting, and a nonintegrated
contribution formula equal to at least 10% of the employee's compensation
without regard to employment by the leasing organization on a specified date.
The safe harbor plan must determine the 10% contribution on the basis of
compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) plus elective contributions
(as defined in Section 1.12).

(B) OTHER REQUIREMENTS. The Advisory Committee must apply this Section 1.31 in a
manner consistent with Code Sections 414(n) and 414(o) and the regulations
issued under those Code sections. The Employer must specify in the Adoption
Agreement the manner in which the Plan will determine the allocation of Employer
contributions and Participant forfeitures on behalf of a Participant if the
Participant is a Leased Employee covered by a plan maintained by the leasing
organization.

        1.32 SPECIAL RULES FOR OWNER-EMPLOYEES. The following special provisions
and restrictions apply to Owner-Employees:

        (a) If the Plan provides contributions or benefits for an Owner-Employee
        or for a group of Owner-Employees who controls the trade or business
        with respect to which this Plan is established and the Owner-Employee or
        Owner-Employees also control as Owner-Employees one or more other trades
        or businesses, plans must exist or be established with respect to all
        the controlled trades or businesses so that when the plans are combined
        they form a single plan which satisfies the requirements of Code Section
        401(a) and Code Section 401(d) with respect to the employees of the
        controlled trades or businesses.

        (b) The Plan excludes an Owner-Employee or group of Owner-Employees if
        the Owner-Employee or group of Owner-Employees controls any other trade
        or business, unless the employees of the other controlled trade or
        business participate in a plan which satisfies the requirements of Code
        Section 401(a) and Code Section 401(d). The other qualified plan must
        provide contributions and benefits which are not less favorable than the
        contributions and benefits provided for the Owner-Employee or group of
        Owner-Employees under this Plan, or if an Owner-Employee is covered
        under another qualified plan as an Owner-Employee, then the plan
        established with respect to the trade or business he does control must
        provide contributions or benefits as favorable as those provided under
        the most favorable plan of the trade or business be does not control. If
        the exclusion of this paragraph (b) applies and the Employer's Plan is a
        Standardized Plan, the Employer may not participate or continue to
        participate in this Master Plan and the Employer's Plan becomes an
        individually-designed plan for purposes of qualification reliance.

        (c) For purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 1.32, an
        Owner-Employee or group of Owner-Employees controls a trade or business
        if the Owner-Employee or Owner-Employees together (1) own the entire
        interest in an unincorporated trade or business, or (2) in the case of a
        partnership, own more than 50% of either the capital interest or the
        profits interest in the partnership.

        1.33 DETERMINATION OF TOP HEAVY STATUS. If this Plan is the only
qualified plan maintained by the Employer, the Plan is top heavy for a Plan Year
if the top heavy ratio as of the Determination Date exceeds 60%. The top heavy
ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the present value of
Accrued Benefits of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date and the
denominator of which is a similar sum determined for all Employees. The Advisory
Committee must include in the top heavy ratio, as part of the present value of
Accrued Benefits, any contribution not made as of the Determination Date but
includible under Code Section 416 and the applicable Treasury regulations, and
distributions made within the Determination Period. The Advisory Committee must
calculate the top heavy ratio by disregarding the Accrued Benefit (and
distributions, if any, of the Accrued Benefit) of any Non-Key Employee who was
formerly a Key Employee, and by disregarding the Accrued Benefit (including
distributions, if any, of the Accrued Benefit) of an individual who has not
received credit for at least one Hour of Service with the

                                      1.08
<PAGE>   53

Employer during the Determination Period. The Advisory Committee must calculate
the top heavy ratio, including the extent to which it must take into account
distributions, rollovers and transfers, in accordance with Code Section 416 and
the regulations under that Code section.

        If the Employer maintains other qualified plans (including a simplified
employee pension plan), or maintained another such plan which now is terminated,
this Plan is top heavy only if it is part of the Required Aggregation Group, and
the top heavy ratio for the Required Aggregation Group and for the Permissive
Aggregation Group, if any, each exceeds 60%. The Advisory Committee will
calculate the top heavy ratio in the same manner as required by the first
paragraph of this Section 1.33, taking into account all plans within the
Aggregation Group. To the extent the Advisory Committee must take into account
distributions to a Participant, the Advisory Committee must include
distributions from a terminated plan which would have been part of the Required
Aggregation Group if it were in existence on the Determination Date. The
Advisory Committee will calculate the present value of accrued benefits under
defined benefit plans or simplified employee pension plans included within the
group in accordance with the terms of those plans, Code Section 416 and the
regulations under that Code section. If a Participant in a defined benefit plan
is a Non-Key Employee, the Advisory Committee will determine his accrued benefit
under the accrual method, if any, which is applicable uniformly to all defined
benefit plans maintained by the Employer or, if there is no uniform method, in
accordance with the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule
accrual method described in Code Section 411(b)(1)(C). If the Employer maintains
a defined benefit plan, the Employer must specify in Adoption Agreement Section
3.18 the actuarial assumptions (interest and mortality only) the Advisory
Committee will use to calculate the present value of benefits from a defined
benefit plan. If an aggregated plan does not have a valuation date coinciding
with the Determination Date, the Advisory Committee must value the Accrued
Benefits in the aggregated plan as of the most recent valuation date falling
within the twelve-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as Code
Section 416 and applicable Treasury regulations require for the first and second
plan year of a defined benefit plan. The Advisory Committee will calculate the
top heavy ratio with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the
same calendar year.

(A) STANDARDIZED PLAN. If the Employer's Plan is a Standardized Plan, the Plan
operates as a deemed top heavy plan in all Plan Years, except, if the
Standardized Plan includes a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, the Employer may
elect to apply the top heavy requirements only in Plan Years for which the Plan
actually is top heavy. Under a deemed top heavy plan, the Advisory Committee
need not determine whether the Plan actually is top heavy. However, if the
Employer, in Adoption Agreement Section 3.18, elects to override the 100%
limitation, the Advisory Committee will need to determine whether a deemed top
heavy Plan's top heavy ratio for a Plan Year exceeds 90%.

(B) DEFINITIONS. For purposes of applying the provisions of this Section 1.33:

        (1) "Key Employee" means, as of any Determination Date, any Employee or
        former Employee (or Beneficiary of such Employee) who, for any Plan Year
        in the Determination Period: (i) has Compensation in excess of 50% of
        the dollar amount prescribed in Code Section 415(b)(1)(A) (relating to
        defined benefit plans) and is an officer of the Employer; (ii) has
        Compensation in excess of the dollar amount prescribed in Code Section
        415(c)(1)(A) (relating to defined contribution plans) and is one of the
        Employees owning the ten largest interests in the Employer; (iii) is a
        more than 5% owner of the Employer; or (iv) is a more than 1% owner of
        the Employer and has Compensation of more than $150,000. The
        constructive ownership rules of Code Section 318 (or the principles of
        that section, in the case of an unincorporated Employer,) will apply to
        determine ownership in the Employer. The number of officers taken into
        account under clause (i) will not exceed the greater of 3 or 10% of the
        total number (after application of the Code Section 414(q) exclusions)
        of Employees, but no more than 50 officers. The Advisory Committee will
        make the determination of who is a Key Employee in accordance with Code
        Section 416(i)(1) and the regulations under that Code section.

        (2) "Non-Key Employee" is an employee who does not meet the definition
        of Key Employee.

                                      1.09
<PAGE>   54

        (3) "Compensation" means Compensation as determined under Section 1.09
        for purposes of identifying Highly Compensated Employees.

        (4) "Required Aggregation Group" means: (i) each qualified plan of the
        Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates at any time
        during the Determination Period; and (ii) any other qualified plan of
        the Employer which enables a plan described in clause (i) to meet the
        requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or of Code Section 410.

        (5) "Permissive Aggregation Group" is the Required Aggregation Group
        plus any other qualified plans maintained by the Employer, but only if
        such group would satisfy in the aggregate the requirements of Code
        Section 401(a)(4) and of Code Section 410. The Advisory Committee will
        determine the Permissive Aggregation Group.

        (6) "Employer" means the Employer that adopts this Plan and any related
        employers described in Section 1.30.

        (7) "Determination Date" for any Plan Year is the Accounting Date of the
        preceding Plan Year or, in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan,
        the Accounting Date of that Plan Year. The "Determination Period" is the
        5 year period ending on the Determination Date.

        1.34 "Paired Plans" means the Employer has adopted two Standardized Plan
Adoption Agreements offered with this Master Plan, one Adoption Agreement being
a Paired Profit Sharing Plan and one Adoption Agreement being a Paired Pension
Plan. A Paired Profit Sharing Plan may include a Code Section 401(k)
arrangement. A Paired Pension Plan must be a money purchase pension plan or a
target benefit pension plan. Paired Plans must be the subject of a favorable
opinion letter issued by the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service.
This Master Plan does not pair any of its Standardized Plan Adoption Agreements
with Standardized Plan Adoption Agreements under a defined benefit master plan.

                                   ARTICLE II
                              EMPLOYEE PARTICIPANTS

        2.01 ELIGIBILITY. Each Employee becomes a Participant in the Plan in
accordance with the participation option selected by the Employer in its
Adoption Agreement. If this Plan is a restated Plan, each Employee who was a
Participant in the Plan on the day before the Effective Date continues as a
Participant in the Plan, irrespective of whether he satisfies the participation
conditions in the restated Plan, unless otherwise provided in the Employer's
Adoption Agreement.

        2.02 YEAR OF SERVICE - PARTICIPATION. For purposes of an Employee's
participation in the Plan under Adoption Agreement Section 2.01, the Plan takes
into account all of his Years of Service with the Employer, except as provided
in Section 2.03. "Year of Service" means an eligibility computation period
during which the Employee completes not less than the number of Hours of Service
specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. The initial eligibility
computation period is the first 12 consecutive month period measured from the
Employment Commencement Date. The Plan measures succeeding eligibility
computation periods in accordance with the option selected by the Employer in
its Adoption Agreement. If the Employer elects to measure subsequent periods on
a Plan Year basis, an Employee who receives credit for the required number of
Hours of Service during the initial eligibility computation period and during
the first applicable Plan Year will receive credit for two Years of Service
under Article II. "Employment Commencement Date" means the date on which the
Employee first performs an Hour of Service for the Employer. If the Employer
elects a service condition under Adoption Agreement Section 2.01 based on
months, the Plan does not apply any Hour of Service requirement after the
completion of the first Hour of Service.

        2.03 BREAK IN SERVICE - PARTICIPATION. An Employee incurs a "Break in
Service" if during any 12 consecutive month period he does not complete more
than 500 Hours of Service with the Employer. The "12 consecutive month period"
under this Section 2.03 is the same 12 consecutive month period for which the
Plan measures "Years of Service" under Section 2.02.

(A) 2-YEAR ELIGIBILITY. If the Employer elects a 2 years of service condition
for eligibility purposes under Adoption Agreement Section 2.01, the Plan treats
an Employee who incurs a one year Break in Service and who has never become a
Participant as a new Employee on the date he first performs an Hour of Service
for the Employer after the Break in Service.

(B) SUSPENSION OF YEARS OF SERVICE. The Employer must elect in its Adoption
Agreement whether a Participant will incur a suspension of Years of Service
after incurring a one year Break in Service. If this rule applies under the
Employer's Plan, the Plan disregards a Participant's Years of Service (as
defined in Section 2.02) earned prior to a Break in Service until the
Participant completes another Year of Service and the Plan suspends the
Participant's participation in the Plan. If the Participant completes a Year of
Service following his Break in Service, the Plan restores that Participant's
pre-Break Years of Service (and the Participant resumes active participation in
the Plan) retroactively to the first day of the computation period in which the
Participant earns the first post-Break Year of Service. The initial computation
period under this Section 2.03(B) is the 12 consecutive month period measured
from the date the Participant first receives credit for an Hour of Service
following the one year Break in Service period. The Plan measures any subsequent
periods, if necessary, in a manner consistent with the computation period
selection in Adoption Agreement Section 2.02. This Section 2.03(B) does not
affect a Participant's vesting credit under Article V and, during a suspension
period, the Participant's Account continues to share fully in Trust Fund
allocations under Section 9.11. Furthermore, this Section 2.03(B) will not
result in the restoration of any Year of Service disregarded under the Break in
Service rule of Section 2.03(A).

                                      2.01
<PAGE>   56

        2.04 PARTICIPATION UPON RE-EMPLOYMENT. A Participant whose employment
with the Employer terminates will re-enter the Plan as a Participant on the date
of his re-employment, subject to the Break in Service rule, if applicable, under
Section 2.03(B). An Employee who satisfies the Plan's eligibility conditions but
who terminates employment with the Employer prior to becoming a Participant will
become a Participant on the later of the Plan Entry Date on which he would have
entered the Plan had he not terminated employment or the date of his
re-employment, subject to the Break in Service rule, if applicable, under
Section 2.03(B). Any Employee who terminates employment prior to satisfying the
Plan's eligibility conditions becomes a Participant in accordance with Adoption
Agreement Section 2.01.

        2.05 CHANGE IN EMPLOYEE STATUS. If a Participant has not incurred a
Separation from Service but ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan, by
reason of employment within an employment classification excluded by the
Employer under Adoption Agreement Section 1.07, the Advisory Committee must
treat the Participant as an Excluded Employee during the period such a
Participant is subject to the Adoption Agreement exclusion. The Advisory
Committee determines a Participant's sharing in the allocation of Employer
contributions and Participant forfeitures, if applicable, by disregarding his
Compensation paid by the Employer for services rendered in his capacity as an
Excluded Employee. However, during such period of exclusion, the Participant,
without regard to employment classification, continues to receive credit for
vesting under Article V for each included Year of Service and the Participant's
Account continues to share fully in Trust Fund allocations under Section 9.11.

        If an Excluded Employee who is not a Participant becomes eligible to
participate in the Plan by reason of a change in employment classification, he
will participate in the Plan immediately if he has satisfied the eligibility
conditions of Section 2.01 and would have been a Participant had he not been an
Excluded Employee during his period of Service. Furthermore, the Plan takes into
account all of the Participant's included Years of Service with the Employer as
an Excluded Employee for purposes of vesting credit under Article V.

        2.06 ELECTION NOT TO PARTICIPATE. If the Employer's Plan is a
Standardized Plan, the Plan does not permit an otherwise eligible Employee nor
any Participant to elect not to participate in the Plan. If the Employer's Plan
is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer must specify in its Adoption Agreement
whether an Employee eligible to participate, or any present Participant, may
elect not to participate in the Plan. For an election to be effective for a
particular Plan Year, the Employee or Participant must file the election in
writing with the Plan Administrator not later than the time specified in the
Employer's Adoption Agreement. The Employer may not make a contribution under
the Plan for the Employee or for the Participant for the Plan Year for which the
election is effective, nor for any succeeding Plan Year, unless the Employee or
Participant re-elects to participate in the Plan. After an Employee's or
Participant's election not to participate has been effective for at least the
minimum period prescribed by the Employer's Adoption Agreement, the Employee or
Participant may re-elect to participate in the Plan for any Plan Year and
subsequent Plan Years. An Employee or Participant may re-elect to participate in
the Plan by filing his election in writing with the Plan Administrator not later
than the time specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. An Employee or
Participant who re-elects to participate may again elect not to participate only
as permitted in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. If an Employee is a
Self-Employed Individual, the Employee's election (except as permitted by
Treasury regulations without creating a Code Section 401(k) arrangement with
respect to that Self-Employed Individual) must be effective no later than the
date the Employee first would become a Participant in the Plan and the election
is irrevocable. The Plan Administrator must furnish an Employee or a Participant
any form required for purposes of an election under this Section 2.06. An
election timely filed is effective for the entire Plan Year.

                                      2.02
<PAGE>   57

        A Participant who elects not to participate may not receive a
distribution of his Accrued Benefit attributable either to Employer or to
Participant contributions except as provided under Article IV or under Article
VI. However, for each Plan Year for which a Participant's election not to
participate is effective, the Participant's Account, if any, continues to share
in Trust Fund allocations under Article IX. Furthermore, the Employee or the
Participant receives vesting credit under Article V for each included Year of
Service during the period the election not to participate is effective.

                                   ARTICLE III
                     EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND FORFEITURES

PART 1. AMOUNT OF EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND PLAN ALLOCATIONS: SECTIONS 3.01
THROUGH 3.06

        3.01 AMOUNT. For each Plan Year, the Employer contributes to the Trust
the amount determined by application of the contribution option selected by the
Employer in its Adoption Agreement. The Employer may not make a contribution to
the Trust for any Plan Year to the extent the contribution would exceed the
Participants' Maximum Permissible Amounts.

        The Employer contributes to this Plan on the condition its contribution
is not due to a mistake of fact and the Revenue Service will not disallow the
deduction for its contribution. The Trustee, upon written request from the
Employer, must return to the Employer the amount of the Employer's contribution
made by the Employer by mistake of fact or the amount of the Employer's
contribution disallowed as a deduction under Code Section 404. The Trustee will
not return any portion of the Employer's contribution under the provisions of
this paragraph more than one year after:

        (a) The Employer made the contribution by mistake of fact; or

        (b) The disallowance of the contribution as a deduction, and then, only
to the extent of the disallowance.

        The Trustee will not increase the amount of the Employer contribution
returnable under this Section 3.01 for any earnings attributable to the
contribution, but the Trustee will decrease the Employer contribution returnable
for any losses attributable to it. The Trustee may require the Employer to
furnish it whatever evidence the Trustee deems necessary to enable the Trustee
to confirm the amount the Employer has requested be returned is properly
returnable under ERISA.

        3.02 DETERMINATION OF CONTRIBUTION. The Employer, from its records,
determines the amount of any contributions to be made by it to the Trust under
the terms of the Plan.

        3.03 TIME OF PAYMENT OF CONTRIBUTION. The Employer may pay its
contribution for each Plan Year in one or more installments without interest.
The Employer must make its contribution to the Plan within the time prescribed
by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations. Subject to the consent of the
Trustee, the Employer may make its contribution in property rather than in cash,
provided the contribution of property is not a prohibited transaction under the
Code or under ERISA.

        3.04 CONTRIBUTION ALLOCATION.

(A) METHOD OF ALLOCATION. The Employer must specify in its Adoption Agreement
the manner of allocating each annual Employer contribution to this Trust.

(B) TOP HEAVY MINIMUM ALLOCATION. The Plan must comply with the provisions of
this Section 3.04(B), subject to the elections in the Employer's Adoption
Agreement.

        (1) TOP HEAVY MINIMUM ALLOCATION UNDER STANDARDIZED PLAN. Subject to the
Employer's election under Section 3.04(B)(3), the top heavy minimum allocation
requirement applies to a Standardized Plan for each Plan Year, irrespective of
whether the Plan is top heavy.

        (a) Each Participant employed by the Employer on the last day of the
        Plan Year will receive a top heavy minimum allocation for that Plan
        Year. The Employer may elect in Section 3.04 of its Adoption Agreement
        to apply this paragraph (a) only to a Participant who is a Non-Key
        Employee.

                                      3.01
<PAGE>   59

        (b) Subject to any overriding elections in Section 3.18 of the
        Employer's Adoption Agreement, the top heavy minimum allocation is the
        lesser of 3% of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year or the
        highest contribution rate for the Plan Year made on behalf of any
        Participant for the Plan Year. However, if the Employee participates in
        Paired Plans, the top heavy minimum allocation is 3% of his
        Compensation. If, under Adoption Agreement Section 3.04, the Employer
        elects to apply paragraph (a) only to a Participant who is a Non-Key
        Employee, the Advisory Committee will determine the "highest
        contribution rate" described in the first sentence of this paragraph (b)
        by reference only to the contribution rates of Participants who are Key
        Employees for the Plan Year.

        (2) TOP HEAVY MINIMUM ALLOCATION UNDER NONSTANDARDIZED PLAN. The top
heavy minimum allocation requirement applies to a Nonstandardized Plan only in
Plan Years for which the Plan is top heavy. Except as provided in the
Employer's. Adoption Agreement, if the Plan is top heavy in any Plan Year:

        (a) Each Non-Key Employee who is a Participant and is employed by the
        Employer on the last day of the Plan Year will receive a top heavy
        minimum allocation for that Plan Year, irrespective of whether he
        satisfies the Hours of Service condition under Section 3.06 of the
        Employer's Adoption Agreement; and

        (b) The top heavy minimum allocation is the lesser of 3% of the Non-Key
        Employee's Compensation for the Plan Year or the highest contribution
        rate for the Plan Year made on behalf of any Key Employee. However, if a
        defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer which benefits a Key
        Employee depends on this Plan to satisfy the antidiscrimination rules of
        Code Section 401(a)(4) or the coverage rules of Code Section 410 (or
        another plan benefiting the Key Employee so depends on such defined
        benefit plan), the top heavy minimum allocation is 3% of the Non-Key
        Employee's Compensation regardless of the contribution rate for the Key
        Employees.

        (3) SPECIAL ELECTION FOR STANDARDIZED CODE SECTION 401(k) PLAN. If the
Employer's Plan is a Standardized Code Section 401 (k) Plan, the Employer may
elect in Adoption Agreement Section 3.04 to apply the top heavy minimum
allocation requirements of Section 3.04(B)(1) only for Plan Years in which the
Plan actually is a top heavy plan.

        (4) SPECIAL DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section 3.04(B), the term
"Participant" includes any Employee otherwise eligible to participate in the
Plan but who is not a Participant because of his Compensation level or because
of his failure to make elective deferrals under a Code Section 401(k)
arrangement or because of his failure to make mandatory contributions. For
purposes of subparagraph (1)(b) or (2)(b), "Compensation" means Compensation as
defined in Section 1.12, except Compensation does not include elective
contributions, irrespective of whether the Employer has elected to include these
amounts in Section 1.12 of its Adoption Agreement, any exclusion selected in
Section 1.12 of the Adoption Agreement (other than the exclusion of elective
contributions) does not apply, and any modification to the definition of
Compensation in Section 3.06 does not apply.

        (5) DETERMINING CONTRIBUTION RATES. For purposes of this Section
3.04(B), a Participant's contribution rate is the sum of all Employer
contributions (not including Employer contributions to Social Security) and
forfeitures allocated to the Participant's Account for the Plan Year divided by
his Compensation for the entire Plan Year. However, for purposes of satisfying a
Participant's top heavy minimum allocation in Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 1988, the Participant's contribution rate does not include any
elective contributions under a Code Section 401(k) arrangement nor any Employer
matching contributions allocated on the basis of those elective contributions or
on the basis of employee contributions, except a Nonstandardized Plan may
include in the contribution rate any matching contributions not necessary to
satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(k) or of Code
Section 401(m).

                                      3.02
<PAGE>   60

        If the Employee is a Participant in Paired Plans, the Advisory Committee
will consider the Paired Plans as a single Plan to determine a Participant's
contribution rate and to determine whether the Plans satisfy this top heavy
minimum allocation requirement. To determine a Participant's contribution rate
under a Nonstandardized Plan, the Advisory Committee must treat all qualified
top heavy defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer (or by any
related Employers described in Section 1.30) as a single plan.

        (6) NO ALLOCATIONS. If, for a Plan Year, there are no allocations of
Employer contributions or forfeitures for any Participant (for purposes of
Section 3.04 (B)(1)(b)) or for any Key Employee (for purposes of Section
3.04(B)(2)(b)), the Plan does not require any top heavy minimum allocation for
the Plan Year, unless a top heavy minimum allocation applies because of the
maintenance by the Employer of more than one plan.

        (7) ELECTION OF METHOD. The Employer must specify in its Adoption
Agreement the manner in which the Plan will satisfy the top heavy minimum
allocation requirement.

        (a) If the Employer elects to make any necessary additional contribution
        to this Plan, the Advisory Committee first will allocate the Employer
        contributions (and Participant forfeitures, if any) for the Plan Year in
        accordance with the provisions of Adoption Agreement Section 3.04. The
        Employer then will contribute an additional amount for the Account of
        any Participant entitled under this Section 3.04(B) to a top heavy
        minimum allocation and whose contribution rate for the Plan Year, under
        this Plan and any other plan aggregated under paragraph (5), is less
        than the top heavy minimum allocation. The additional amount is the
        amount necessary to increase the Participant's contribution rate to the
        top heavy minimum allocation. The Advisory Committee will allocate the
        additional contribution to the Account of the Participant on whose
        behalf the Employer makes the contribution.

        (b) If the Employer elects to guarantee the top heavy minimum allocation
        under another plan, this Plan does not provide the top heavy minimum
        allocation and the Advisory Committee will allocate the annual Employer
        contributions (and Participant forfeitures) under the Plan solely in
        accordance with the allocation method selected under Adoption Agreement
        Section 3.04.

        3.05 FORFEITURE ALLOCATION. The amount of a Participant's Accrued
Benefit forfeited under the Plan is a Participant forfeiture. The Advisory
Committee will allocate Participant forfeitures in the manner specified by the
Employer in its Adoption Agreement. The Advisory Committee will continue to hold
the undistributed, non-vested portion of a terminated Participant's Accrued
Benefit in his Account solely for his benefit until a forfeiture occurs at the
time specified in Section 5.09 or if applicable, until the time specified in
Section 9.14. Except as provided under Section 5.04, a Participant will not
share in the allocation of a forfeiture of any portion of his Accrued Benefit.

        3.06 ACCRUAL OF BENEFIT. The Advisory Committee will determine the
accrual of benefit (Employer contributions and Participant forfeitures) on the
basis of the Plan Year in accordance with the Employer's elections in its
Adoption Agreement.

(A) COMPENSATION TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. The Employer must specify in its Adoption
Agreement the Compensation the Advisory Committee is to take into account in
allocating an Employer contribution to a Participant's Account for the Plan Year
in which the Employee first becomes a Participant. For all other Plan Years, the
Advisory Committee will take into account only the Compensation determined for
the portion of the Plan Year in which the Employee actually is a Participant.
The Advisory Committee must take into account the Employee's entire Compensation
for the Plan Year to determine whether the Plan satisfies the top heavy minimum
allocation requirement of Section 3.04(B). The Employer, in an addendum to its
Adoption Agreement numbered 3.06(A), may elect to measure Compensation for the
Plan Year for allocation purposes on the basis of a specified period other than
the Plan Year.

                                      3.03
<PAGE>   61

(B) HOURS OF SERVICE REQUIREMENT. Subject to the applicable minimum allocation
requirement of Section 3.04, the Advisory Committee will not allocate any
portion of an Employer contribution for a Plan Year to any Participant's Account
if the Participant does not complete the applicable minimum Hours of Service
requirement specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement.

(C) EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT. If the Employer's Plan is a Standardized Plan, a
Participant who, during a particular Plan Year, completes the accrual
requirements of Adoption Agreement Section 3.06 will share in the allocation of
Employer contributions for that Plan Year without regard to whether he is
employed by the Employer on the Accounting Date of that Plan Year. If the
Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer must specify in its
Adoption Agreement whether the Participant will accrue a benefit if he is not
employed by the Employer on the Accounting Date of the Plan Year. If the
Employer's Plan is a money purchase plan or a target benefit plan, whether
Nonstandardized or Standardized, the Plan conditions benefit accrual on
employment with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year for the Plan Year
in which the Employer terminates the Plan.

(D) OTHER REQUIREMENTS. If the Employer's Adoption Agreement includes options
for other requirements affecting the Participant's accrual of benefits under the
Plan, the Advisory Committee will apply this Section 3.06 in accordance with the
Employer's Adoption Agreement selections.

(E) SUSPENSION OF ACCRUAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER NONSTANDARDIZED PLAN. If the
Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer may elect in its
Adoption Agreement to suspend the accrual requirements elected under Adoption
Agreement Section 3.06 if, for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1989,
the Plan fails to satisfy the Participation Test or the Coverage Test. A Plan
satisfies the Participation Test if, on each day of the Plan Year, the number of
Employees who benefit under the Plan is at least equal to the lesser of 50 or
40% of the total number of Includible Employees as of such day. A Plan satisfies
the Coverage Test if, on the last day of each quarter of the Plan Year, the
number of Nonhighly Compensated Employees who benefit under the Plan is at least
equal to 70% of the total number of Includible Nonhighly Compensated Employees
as of such day. "Includible" Employees are all Employees other than: (1) those
Employees excluded from participating in the Plan for the entire Plan Year by
reason of the collective bargaining unit exclusion or the nonresident alien
exclusion under Adoption Agreement Section 1.07 or by reason of the
participation requirements of Sections 2.01 and 2.03; and (2) any Employee who
incurs a Separation from Service during the Plan Year and fails to complete at
least 501 Hours of Service for the Plan Year. A "Nonhighly Compensated Employee"
is an Employee who is not a Highly Compensated Employee and who is not a family
member aggregated with a Highly Compensated Employee pursuant to Section 1.09 of
the Plan.

        For purposes of the Participation Test and the Coverage Test, an
Employee is benefiting under the Plan on a particular date if, under Adoption
Agreement Section 3.04, he is entitled to an allocation for the Plan Year. Under
the Participation Test, when determining whether an Employee is entitled to an
allocation under Adoption Agreement Section 3.04, the Advisory Committee will
disregard any allocation required solely by reason of the top heavy minimum
allocation, unless the top heavy minimum allocation is the only allocation made
under the Plan for the Plan Year.

        If this Section 3.06(E) applies for a Plan Year, the Advisory Committee
will suspend the accrual requirements for the Includible Employees who are
Participants, beginning first with the Includible Employee(s) employed with the
Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, then the Includible Employee(s) who
have the latest Separation from Service during the Plan Year, and continuing to
suspend in descending order the accrual requirements for each Includible
Employee who incurred an earlier Separation from Service, from the latest to the
earliest Separation from Service date, until the Plan satisfies both the
Participation Test and the Coverage Test for the Plan Year. If two or more
Includible Employees have a Separation from Service on the same day, the
Advisory Committee will suspend the accrual requirements for all such Includible
Employees, irrespective of whether the Plan can satisfy the Participation Test
and the Coverage Test by accruing benefits for fewer than all such Includible
Employees. If the Plan suspends the accrual requirements for an Includible
Employee, that Employee will share in the allocation

                                      3.04
<PAGE>   62

of Employer contributions and Participant forfeitures, if any, without regard to
the number of Hours of Service he has earned for the Plan Year and without
regard to whether he is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan
Year. If the Employer's Plan includes Employer matching contributions subject to
Code Section 401(m), this suspension of accrual requirements applies separately
to the Code Section 401(m) portion of the Plan, and the Advisory Committee will
treat an Employee as benefiting under that portion of the Plan if he is an
Eligible Employee for purposes of the Code Section 401(m) nondiscrimination
test. The Employer may modify the operation of this Section 3.06(E) by electing
appropriate modifications in Section 3.06 of its Adoption Agreement.

PART 2. LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS: SECTIONS 3.07 THROUGH 3.19

        [Note: Sections 3.07 through 3.10 apply only to Participants in this
Plan who do not participate, and who have never participated, in another
qualified plan or in a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code Section 419(e))
maintained by the Employer.]

        3.07 The amount of Annual Additions which the Advisory Committee may
allocate under this Plan on a Participant's behalf for a Limitation Year may not
exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount. If the amount the Employer otherwise
would contribute to the Participant's Account would cause the Annual Additions
for the Limitation Year to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the Employer
will reduce the amount of its contribution so the Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount. If an allocation of
Employer contributions, pursuant to Section 3.04, would result in an Excess
Amount (other than an Excess Amount resulting from the circumstances described
in Section 3.10) to the Participant's Account, the Advisory Committee will
reallocate the Excess Amount to the remaining Participants who are eligible for
an allocation of Employer contributions for the Plan Year in which the
Limitation Year ends. The Advisory Committee will make this reallocation on the
basis of the allocation method under the Plan as if the Participant whose
Account otherwise would receive the Excess Amount is not eligible for an
allocation of Employer contributions.

        3.08 Prior to the determination of the Participant's actual Compensation
for a Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee may determine the Maximum
Permissible Amount on the basis of the Participant's estimated annual
Compensation for such Limitation Year. The Advisory Committee must make this
determination on a reasonable and uniform basis for all Participants similarly
situated. The Advisory Committee must reduce any Employer contributions
(including any allocation of forfeitures) based on estimated annual Compensation
by any Excess Amounts carried over from prior years.

        3.09 As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the
Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee will determine the Maximum Permissible
Amount for such Limitation Year on the basis of the Participant's actual
Compensation for such Limitation Year.

        3.10 If, pursuant to Section 3.09, or because of the allocation of
forfeitures, there is an Excess Amount with respect to a Participant for a
Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee will dispose of such Excess Amount as
follows:

        (a) The Advisory Committee will return any nondeductible voluntary
        Employee contributions to the Participant to the extent the return would
        reduce the Excess Amount.

        (b) If, after the application of paragraph (a), an Excess Amount still
        exists, and the Plan covers the Participant at the end of the Limitation
        Year, then the Advisory Committee will use the Excess Amount(s) to
        reduce future Employer contributions (including any allocation of
        forfeitures) under the Plan for the next Limitation Year and for each
        succeeding Limitation Year, as is necessary, for the Participant. If the
        Employer's Plan is a profit sharing plan, the Participant may elect to
        limit his Compensation for allocation purposes to the extent necessary
        to reduce his allocation for the Limitation Year to the Maximum
        Permissible Amount and eliminate the Excess Amount.

                                      3.05
<PAGE>   63

        (c) If, after the application of paragraph (a), an Excess Amount still
        exists, and the Plan does not cover the Participant at the end of the
        Limitation Year, then the Advisory Committee will hold the Excess Amount
        unallocated in a suspense account. The Advisory Committee will apply the
        suspense account to reduce Employer Contributions (including allocation
        of forfeitures) for all remaining Participants in the next Limitation
        Year, and in each succeeding Limitation Year if necessary. Neither the
        Employer nor any Employee may contribute to the Plan for any Limitation
        Year in which the Plan is unable to allocate fully a suspense account
        maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c).

        (d) The Advisory Committee will not distribute any Excess Amount(s) to
        Participants or to former Participants.

        [Note. Sections 3.11 through 3.16 apply only to Participants who, in
addition to this Plan, participate in one or more plans (including Paired
Plans), all of which are qualified Master or Prototype defined contribution
plans or welfare benefit funds (as defined in Code Section 419(e)) maintained by
the Employer during the Limitation Year.]

        3.11 The amount of Annual Additions which the Advisory Committee may
allocate under this Plan on a Participant's behalf for a Limitation Year may not
exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, reduced by the sum of any Annual
Additions allocated to the Participant's Accounts for the same Limitation Year
under this Plan and such other defined contribution plan. If the amount the
Employer otherwise would contribute to the Participant's Account under this Plan
would cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year to exceed this
limitation, the Employer will reduce the amount of its contribution so the
Annual Additions under all such plans for the Limitation Year will equal the
Maximum Permissible Amount. If an allocation of Employer contributions, pursuant
to Section 3.04, would result in an Excess Amount (other than an Excess Amount
resulting from the circumstances described in Section 3.10) to the Participant's
Account, the Advisory Committee will reallocate the Excess Amount to the
remaining Participants who are eligible for an allocation of Employer
contributions for the Plan Year in which the Limitation Year ends. The Advisory
Committee will make this reallocation on the basis of the allocation method
under the Plan as if the Participant whose Account otherwise would receive the
Excess Amount is not eligible for an allocation of Employer contributions.

        3.12 Prior to the determination of the Participant's actual Compensation
for the Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee may determine the amounts
referred to in 3.11 above on the basis of the Participant's estimated annual
Compensation for such Limitation Year. The Advisory Committee will make this
determination on a reasonable and uniform basis for all Participants similarly
situated. The Advisory Committee must reduce any Employer contribution
(including allocation of forfeitures) based on estimated annual Compensation by
any Excess Amounts carried over from prior years.

        3.13 As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the
Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee will determine the amounts referred to
in 3.11 on the basis of the Participant's actual Compensation for such
Limitation Year.

        3.14 If pursuant to Section 3.13, or because of the allocation of
forfeitures, a Participant's Annual Additions under this Plan and all such other
plans result in an Excess Amount, such Excess Amount will consist of the Amounts
last allocated. The Advisory Committee will determine the Amounts last allocated
by treating the Annual Additions attributable to a welfare benefit fund as
allocated first, irrespective of the actual allocation date under the welfare
benefit fund.

        3.15 The Employer must specify in its Adoption Agreement the Excess
Amount attributed to this Plan, if the Advisory Committee allocates an Excess
Amount to a Participant on an allocation date of this Plan which coincides with
an allocation date of another plan.

        3.16 The Advisory Committee will dispose of any Excess Amounts
attributed to this Plan as provided in Section 3.10.

        [Note: Section 3.17 applies only to Participants who, in addition to
this Plan, participate in one or more qualified plans which are qualified
defined contribution plans other than a Master or Prototype plan maintained by
the Employer during the Limitation Year.)

        3.17 SPECIAL ALLOCATION LIMITATION. The amount of Annual Additions which
the Advisory Committee may allocate under this Plan on behalf of any Participant
are limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 through 3.16, as
though the other plan were a Master or Prototype plan, unless the Employer
provides other limitations in an addendum to the Adoption Agreement, numbered
Section 3.17.

        3.18 DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN LIMITATION. If the Employer maintains a
defined benefit plan, or has ever maintained a defined benefit plan which the
Employer has terminated, then the sum of the defined benefit plan fraction and
the defined contribution plan fraction for any Participant for any Limitation
Year must not exceed 1.0. The Employer must provide in Adoption Agreement
Section 3.18 the manner in which the Plan will satisfy this limitation. The
Employer also must provide in its Adoption Agreement Section 3.18 the manner in
which the Plan will satisfy the top heavy requirements of Code Section 416 after
taking into account the existence (or prior maintenance) of the defined benefit
plan.

        3.19 DEFINITIONS -- ARTICLE III. For purposes of Article III, the
following terms mean:

        (a) "Annual Addition" -- The sum of the following amounts allocated on
        behalf of a Participant for a Limitation Year, of (i) all Employer
        contributions; (ii) all forfeitures; and (iii) all Employee
        contributions. Except to the extent provided in Treasury regulations,
        Annual Additions include excess contributions described in Code Section
        401(k), excess aggregate contributions described in Code Section 401(m)
        and excess deferrals described in Code Section 402(g), irrespective of
        whether the plan distributes or forfeits such excess amounts. Annual
        Additions also include Excess Amounts reapplied to reduce Employer
        contributions under Section 3.10. Amounts allocated after March 31,
        1984, to an individual medical account (as defined in Code Section
        415(1)(2)) included as part of a defined benefit plan maintained by the
        Employer are Annual Additions. Furthermore, Annual Additions include
        contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, for taxable years
        ending after December 31, 1985, 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 fund (as defined in
        Code Section 419(e)) maintained by the Employer.

        (b) "Compensation" -- For purposes of applying the limitations of Part 2
        of this Article III, "Compensation" means Compensation as defined in
        Section 1.12, except Compensation does not include elective
        contributions, irrespective of whether the Employer has elected to
        include these amounts as Compensation under Section 1.12 of its Adoption
        Agreement, and any exclusion selected in Section 1.12 of the Adoption
        Agreement (other than the exclusion of elective contributions) does not
        apply.

        (c) "Employer" -- The Employer that adopts this Plan and any related
        employers described in Section 1.30. Solely for purposes of applying the
        limitations of Part 2 of this Article III, the Advisory Committee will
        determine related employers described in Section 1.30 by modifying Code
        Sections 414(b) and (c) in accordance with Code Section 415(h).

        (d) "Excess Amount" -- The excess of the Participant's Annual Additions
        for the Limitation Year over the Maximum Permissible Amount.

        (e) "Limitation Year" -- The period selected by the Employer under
        Adoption Agreement Section 1.17. All qualified plans of the Employer
        must use the same Limitation Year. If the Employer amends the Limitation
        Year to a different 12 consecutive month period, the new Limitation Year
        must begin on a date within the Limitation Year for which the Employer
        makes the amendment, creating a short Limitation Year.

                                      3.07
<PAGE>   65

        (f) "Master or Prototype Plan" - A plan the form of which is the subject
        of a favorable notification letter or a favorable opinion letter from
        the Internal Revenue Service.

        (g) "Maximum Permissible Amount" - The lesser of (i) $30,000 (or, if
        greater, one-fourth of the defined benefit dollar limitation under Code
        Section 415(b)(1)(A)), or (ii) 25% of the Participant's Compensation for
        the Limitation Year. If there is a short Limitation Year because of a
        change in Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee will multiply the
        $30,000 (or adjusted) limitation by the following fraction:

                  Number of months in the short Limitation Year
                  ---------------------------------------------
                                       12

        (h) "Defined contribution plan" - A retirement plan which provides for
        an individual account for each participant and for benefits based solely
        on the amount contributed to the participant's account, and any income,
        expenses, gains and losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other
        participants which the plan may allocate to such participant's account.
        The Advisory Committee must treat all defined contribution plans
        (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer as a single plan.
        Solely for purposes of the limitations of Part 2 of this Article III,
        the Advisory Committee will treat employee contributions made to a
        defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer as a separate defined
        contribution plan. The Advisory Committee also will treat as a defined
        contribution plan an individual medical account (as defined in Code
        Section 415(1)(2)) included as part of a defined benefit plan maintained
        by the Employer and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 1985, a
        welfare benefit fund under Code Section 419(e) maintained by the
        Employer to the extent there are post-retirement medical benefits
        allocated to the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code
        Section 419A(d)(3)).

        (i) "Defined benefit plan" - A retirement plan which does not provide
        for individual accounts for Employer contributions. The Advisory
        Committee must treat all defined benefit plans (whether or not
        terminated) maintained by the Employer as a single plan.

(Note: The definitions in paragraphs (j), (k) and (1) apply only if the
limitation described in Section 3.18 applies to the Employer's Plan.]

        (j) "Defined benefit plan fraction"

  Projected annual benefit of the Participant under the defined benefit plan(s)
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   The lesser of (i) 125% (subject to the "100% limitation" in paragraph (1))
   of the dollar limitation in effect under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A) for the
Limitation Year, or (ii) 140% of the Participant's average Compensation for his
                   high three (3) consecutive Years of Service

        To determine the denominator of this fraction, the Advisory Committee
will make any adjustment required under Code Section 415(b) and will determine a
Year of Service, unless otherwise provided in an addendum to Adoption Agreement
Section 3.18, as a Plan Year in which the Employee completed at least 1,000
Hours of Service. The "projected annual benefit" is the annual retirement
benefit (adjusted to an actuarially equivalent straight life annuity if the plan
expresses such benefit in a form other than a straight life annuity or qualified
joint and survivor annuity) of the Participant under the terms of the defined
benefit plan on the assumptions he continues employment until his normal
retirement age (or current age, if later) as stated in the defined benefit plan,
his compensation continues at the same rate as in effect in the Limitation Year
under consideration until the date of his normal retirement age and all other
relevant factors used to determine benefits under the defined benefit plan
remain constant as of the current Limitation Year for all future Limitation
Years.

                                      3.08
<PAGE>   66

        CURRENT ACCRUED BENEFIT. If the Participant accrued benefits in one or
more defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer which were in existence on
May 6, 1986, the dollar limitation used in the denominator of this fraction will
not be less than the Participant's Current Accrued Benefit. A Participant's
Current Accrued Benefit is the sum of the annual benefits under such defined
benefit plans which the Participant had accrued as of the end of the 1986
Limitation Year (the last Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987),
determined without regard to any change in the terms or conditions of the Plan
made after May 5, 1986, and without regard to any cost of living adjustment
occurring after May 5, 1986. This Current Accrued Benefit rule applies only if
the defined benefit plans individually and in the aggregate satisfied the
requirements of Code Section 415 as in effect at the end of the 1986 Limitation
Year.

(k) "Defined contribution plan fraction" -

    The sum, as of the close of the Limitation Year, of the Annual Additions
       to the Participant's Account under the defined contribution plan(s)
       -------------------------------------------------------------------
        The sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined for the
  Limitation Year and for each prior Year of Service with the Employer:(i) 125%
  (subject to the "100% limitation" in paragraph (1)) of the dollar limitation
 in effect under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) for the Limitation Year (determined
  without regard to the special dollar limitations for employee stock ownership
  plans), or (ii) 35% of the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year

        For purposes of determining the defined contribution plan fraction, the
Advisory Committee will not recompute Annual Additions in Limitation Years
beginning prior to January 1, 1987, to treat all Employee contributions as
Annual Additions. If the Plan satisfied Code Section 415 for Limitation Years
beginning prior to January 1, 1987, the Advisory Committee will redetermine the
defined contribution plan fraction and the defined benefit plan fraction as of
the end of the 1986 Limitation Year, in accordance with this Section 3.19. If
the sum of the redetermined fractions exceeds 1.0, the Advisory Committee will
subtract permanently from the numerator of the defined contribution plan
fraction an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess of the sum of the
fractions over 1.0, times (2) the denominator of the defined contribution plan
fraction. In making the adjustment, the Advisory Committee must disregard any
accrued benefit under the defined benefit plan which is in excess of the Current
Accrued Benefit. This Plan continues any transitional rules applicable to the
determination of the defined contribution plan fraction under the Employer's
Plan as of the end of the 1986 Limitation Year.

(l) "100% limitation." If the 100% limitation applies, the Advisory Committee
must determine the denominator of the defined benefit plan fraction and the
denominator of the defined contribution plan fraction by substituting 100% for
125%. If the Employer's Plan is a Standardized Plan, the 100% limitation applies
in all Limitation Years, subject to any override provisions under Section 3.18
of the Employer's Adoption Agreement. If the Employer overrides the 100%
limitation under a Standardized Plan, the Employer must specify in its Adoption
Agreement the manner in which the Plan satisfies the extra minimum benefit
requirement of Code Section 416(h) and the 100% limitation must continue to
apply if the Plan's top heavy ratio exceeds 90%. If the Employer's Plan is a
Nonstandardized Plan, the 100% limitation applies only if: (i) the Plan's top
heavy ratio exceeds 90%; or (ii) the Plan's top heavy ratio is greater than 60%,
and the Employer does not elect in its Adoption Agreement Section 3.18 to
provide extra minimum benefits which satisfy Code Section 416(h)(2).

                                   ARTICLE IV
                            PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS

        4.01 PARTICIPANT NONDEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS. This Plan does not permit
Participant nondeductible contributions unless the Employer maintains its Plan
under a Code Section 401(k) Adoption Agreement. If the Employer does not
maintain its Plan under a Code Section 401(k) Adoption Agreement and, prior to
the adoption of this Master Plan, the Plan accepted Participant nondeductible
contributions for a Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1986, those
contributions must satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m). This Section
4.01 does not prohibit the Plan's acceptance of Participant nondeductible
contributions prior to the first Plan Year commencing after the Plan Year in
which the Employer adopts this Master Plan.

        4.02 PARTICIPANT DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS. A qualified Plan may not
accept Participant deductible contributions after April 15, 1987. If the
Employer's Plan includes Participant deductible contributions ("DECs") made
prior to April 16, 1987, the Advisory Committee must maintain a separate
accounting for the Participant's Accrued Benefit attributable to DECs, including
DECs which are part of a rollover contribution described in Section 4.03. The
Advisory Committee will treat the accumulated DECs as part of the Participant's
Accrued Benefit for all purposes of the Plan, except for purposes of determining
the top heavy ratio under Section 1.33. The Advisory Committee may not use DECs
to purchase life insurance on the Participant's behalf.

        4.03 PARTICIPANT ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS. Any Participant, with the
Employer's written consent and after filing with the Trustee the form prescribed
by the Advisory Committee, may contribute cash or other property to the Trust
other than as a voluntary contribution if the contribution is a "rollover
contribution" which the Code permits an employee to transfer either directly or
indirectly from one qualified plan to another qualified plan. Before accepting a
rollover contribution, the Trustee may require an Employee to furnish
satisfactory evidence that the proposed transfer is in fact a "rollover
contribution" which the Code permits an employee to make to a qualified plan. A
rollover contribution is not an Annual Addition under Part 2 of Article III.

        The Trustee will invest the rollover contribution in a segregated
investment Account for the Participant's sole benefit unless the Trustee (or the
Named Fiduciary, in the case of a nondiscretionary Trustee designation), in its
sole discretion, agrees to invest the rollover contribution as part of the Trust
Fund. The Trustee will not have any investment responsibility with respect to a
Participant's segregated rollover Account. The Participant, however, from time
to time, may direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of his
segregated rollover Account in property, or property interests, of any kind,
real, personal or mixed; provided however, the Participant may not direct the
Trustee to make loans to his Employer. A Participant's segregated rollover
Account alone will bear any extraordinary expenses resulting from investments
made at the direction of the Participant. As of the Accounting Date (or other
valuation date) for each Plan Year, the Advisory Committee will allocate and
credit the net income (or net loss) from a Participant's segregated rollover
Account and the increase or decrease in the fair market value of the assets of a
segregated rollover Account solely to that Account. The Trustee is not liable
nor responsible for any loss resulting to any Beneficiary, nor to any
Participant, by reason of any sale or investment made or other action taken
pursuant to and in accordance with the direction of the Participant. In all
other respects, the Trustee will hold, administer and distribute a rollover
contribution in the same manner as any Employer contribution made to the Trust.

        An eligible Employee, prior to satisfying the Plan's eligibility
conditions, may make a rollover contribution to the Trust to the same extent and
in the same manner as a Participant. If an Employee makes a rollover
contribution to the Trust prior to satisfying the Plan's eligibility conditions,
the Advisory Committee and Trustee must treat the Employee as a Participant for
all purposes of the Plan except the Employee is not a Participant for purposes
of sharing in Employer contributions or Participant forfeitures under the Plan
until he actually becomes a Participant in the Plan. If the Employee has a
Separation from

                                      4.01
<PAGE>   68

Service prior to becoming a Participant, the Trustee will distribute his
rollover contribution Account to him as if it were an Employer contribution
Account.

        4.04 PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTION - FORFEITABILITY. A Participant's Accrued
Benefit is, at all times, 100% Nonforfeitable to the extent the value of his
Accrued Benefit is derived from his Participant contributions described in this
Article IV.

        4.05 PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTION - WITHDRAWAL/DISTRIBUTION. A
Participant, by giving prior written notice to the Trustee, may withdraw all or
any part of the value of his Accrued Benefit derived from his Participant
contributions described in this Article IV. A distribution of Participant
contributions must comply with the joint and survivor requirements described in
Article VI, if those requirements apply to the Participant. A Participant may
not exercise his right to withdraw the value of his Accrued Benefit derived from
his Participant contributions more than once during any Plan Year. The Trustee,
in accordance with the direction of the Advisory Committee, will distribute a
Participant's unwithdrawn Accrued Benefit attributable to his Participant
contributions in accordance with the provisions of Article VI applicable to the
distribution of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit.

        4.06 PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTION - ACCRUED BENEFIT. The Advisory Committee
must maintain a separate Account(s) in the name of each Participant to reflect
the Participant's Accrued Benefit under the Plan derived from his Participant
contributions. A Participant's Accrued Benefit derived from his Participant
contributions as of any applicable date is the balance of his separate
Participant contribution Account(s).

                                    ARTICLE V
                  TERMINATION OF SERVICE - PARTICIPANT VESTING

        5.01 NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE. The Employer must define Normal Retirement
Age in its Adoption Agreement. A Participant's Accrued Benefit derived from
Employer contributions is 100% Nonforfeitable upon and after his attaining
Normal Retirement Age (if employed by the Employer on or after that date).

        5.02 PARTICIPANT DISABILITY OR DEATH. The Employer may elect in its
Adoption Agreement to provide a Participant's Accrued Benefit derived from
Employer contributions will be 100% Nonforfeitable if the Participant's
Separation from Service is a result of his death or his disability.

        5.03 VESTING SCHEDULE. Except as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, for
each Year of Service, a Participant's Nonforfeitable percentage of his Accrued
Benefit derived from Employer contributions equals the percentage in the vesting
schedule completed by the Employer in its Adoption Agreement.

(A) ELECTION OF SPECIAL VESTING FORMULA. If the Trustee makes a distribution
(other than a cash-out distribution described in Section 5.04) to a
partially-vested Participant, and the Participant has not incurred a Forfeiture
Break in Service at the relevant time, the Advisory Committee will establish a
separate Account for the Participant's Accrued Benefit. At any relevant time
following the distribution, the Advisory Committee will determine the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions
in accordance with the following formula: P(AB + (R x D)) - (R x D).

        To apply this formula, "P" is the Participant's current vesting
percentage at the relevant time, "AB" is the Participant's Employer-derived
Accrued Benefit at the relevant time, "R" is the ratio of "AB" to the
Participant's Employer-derived Accrued Benefit immediately following the earlier
distribution and "D" is the amount of the earlier distribution. If, under a
restated Plan, the Plan has made distribution to a partially-vested Participant
prior to its restated Effective Date and is unable to apply the cash-out
provisions of Section 5.04 to that prior distribution, this special vesting
formula also applies to that Participant's remaining Account. The Employer, in
an addendum to its Adoption Agreement, numbered Section 5.03, may elect to
modify this formula to read as follows: P(AB + D) - D.

        5.04 CASH-OUT DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTIALLY-VESTED PARTICIPANTS/
RESTORATION OF FORFEITED ACCRUED BENEFIT. If, pursuant to Article VI, a
partially-vested Participant receives a cash-out distribution before he incurs a
Forfeiture Break in Service (as defined in Section 5.08), the cash-out
distribution will result in an immediate forfeiture of the nonvested portion of
the Participant's Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions. See
Section 5.09. A partially-vested Participant is a Participant whose
Nonforfeitable Percentage determined under Section 5.03 is less than 100%. A
cash-out distribution is a distribution of the entire present value of the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit.

(A) RESTORATION AND CONDITIONS UPON RESTORATION. A partially-vested Participant
who is re-employed by the Employer after receiving a cash-out distribution of
the Nonforfeitable percentage of his Accrued Benefit may repay the Trustee the
amount of the cash-out distribution attributable to Employer contributions,
unless the Participant no longer has a right to restoration by reason of the
conditions of this Section 5.04(A). If a partially-vested Participant makes the
cash-out distribution repayment, the Advisory Committee, subject to the
conditions of this Section 5.04(A), must restore his Accrued Benefit
attributable to Employer contributions to the same dollar amount as the dollar
amount of his Accrued Benefit on the Accounting Date, or other valuation date,
immediately preceding the date of the cash-out distribution, unadjusted for any
gains or losses occurring subsequent to that Accounting Date, or other valuation
date. Restoration of the Participant's Accrued Benefit includes restoration of
all Code Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits with respect to that restored
Accrued Benefit, in accordance with applicable Treasury regulations. The
Advisory Committee will not restore a re-employed Participant's Accrued Benefit
under this paragraph

                                      5.01
<PAGE>   70

        (1) 5 years have elapsed since the Participant's first re-employment
        date with the Employer following the cash-out distribution; or

        (2) The Participant incurred a Forfeiture Break in Service (as defined
        in Section 5.08). This condition also applies if the Participant makes
        repayment within the Plan Year in which he incurs the Forfeiture Break
        in Service and that Forfeiture Break in Service would result in a
        complete forfeiture of the amount the Advisory Committee otherwise would
        restore.

(B) TIME AND METHOD OF RESTORATION. If neither of the two conditions preventing
restoration of the Participant's Accrued Benefit applies, the Advisory Committee
will restore the Participant's Accrued Benefit as of the Plan Year Accounting
Date coincident with or immediately following the repayment. To restore the
Participant's Accrued Benefit, the Advisory Committee, to the extent necessary,
will allocate to the Participant's Account:

        (1) First, the amount, if any, of Participant forfeitures the Advisory
        Committee would otherwise allocate under Section 3.05;

        (2) Second, the amount, if any, of the Trust Fund net income or gain for
        the Plan Year; and

        (3) Third, the Employer contribution for the Plan Year to the extent
        made under a discretionary formula.

        In an addendum to its Adoption Agreement numbered 5.04(B), the Employer
may eliminate as a means of restoration any of the amounts described in clauses
(1), (2) and (3) or may change the order of priority of these amounts. To the
extent the amounts described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) are insufficient to
enable the Advisory Committee to make the required restoration, the Employer
must contribute, without regard to any requirement or condition of Section 3.01,
the additional amount necessary to enable the Advisory Committee to make the
required restoration. If, for a particular Plan Year, the Advisory Committee
must restore the Accrued Benefit of more than one re-employed Participant, then
the Advisory Committee will make the restoration allocations to each such
Participant's Account in the same proportion that a Participant's restored
amount for the Plan Year bears to the restored amount for the Plan Year of all
re-employed Participants. The Advisory Committee will not take into account any
allocation under this Section 5.04 in applying the limitation on allocations
under Part 2 of Article III.

(C) 0% VESTED PARTICIPANT. The Employer must specify in its Adoption Agreement
whether the deemed cash-out rule applies to a 0% vested Participant. A 0% vested
Participant is a Participant whose Accrued Benefit derived from Employer
contributions is entirely forfeitable at the time of his Separation from
Service. If the Participant's Account is not entitled to an allocation of
Employer contributions for the Plan Year in which he has a Separation from
Service, the Advisory Committee will apply the deemed cash-out rule as if the 0%
vested Participant received a cash-out distribution on the date of the
Participant's Separation from Service. If the Participant's Account is entitled
to an allocation of Employer contributions or Participant forfeitures for the
Plan Year in which he has a Separation from Service, the Advisory Committee will
apply the deemed cash-out rule as if the 0% vested Participant received a
cash-out distribution on the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after
his Separation from Service. For purposes of applying the restoration provisions
of this Section 5.04, the Advisory Committee will treat the 0% vested
Participant as repaying his cash-out "distribution" on the first date of his
re-employment with the Employer. If the deemed cash-out rule does not apply to
the Employer's Plan, a 0% vested Participant will not incur a forfeiture until
he incurs a Forfeiture Break in Service.

                                      5.02
<PAGE>   71

        5.05 SEGREGATED ACCOUNT FOR REPAID AMOUNT. Until the Advisory Committee
restores the Participant's Accrued Benefit, as described in Section 5.04, the
Trustee will invest the cash-out amount the Participant has repaid in a
segregated Account maintained solely for that Participant. The Trustee must
invest the amount in the Participant's segregated Account in Federally insured
interest bearing savings account(s) or time deposit(s) (or a combination of
both), or in other fixed income investments. Until commingled with the balance
of the Trust Fund on the date the Advisory Committee restores the Participant's
Accrued Benefit, the Participant's segregated Account remains a part of the
Trust, but it alone shares in any income it earns and it alone bears any expense
or loss it incurs. Unless the repayment qualifies as a rollover contribution,
the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to repay to the Participant as
soon as is administratively practicable the full amount of the Participant's
segregated Account if the Advisory Committee determines either of the conditions
of Section 5.04(A) prevents restoration as of the applicable Accounting Date,
notwithstanding the Participant's repayment.

        5.06 YEAR OF SERVICE - VESTING. For purposes of vesting under Section
5.03, Year of Service means any 12-consecutive month period designated in the
Employer's Adoption Agreement during which an Employee completes not less than
the number of Hours of Service (not exceeding 1,000) specified in the Employer's
Adoption Agreement. A Year of Service includes any Year of Service earned prior
to the Effective Date of the Plan, except as provided in Section 5.08.

        5.07 BREAK IN SERVICE - VESTING. For purposes of this Article V, a
Participant incurs a "Break in Service" if during any vesting computation period
he does not complete more than 500 Hours of Service. If, pursuant to Section
5.06, the Plan does not require more than 500 Hours of Service to receive credit
for a Year of Service, a Participant incurs a Break in Service in a vesting
computation period in which he fails to complete a Year of Service.

        5.08 INCLUDED YEARS OF SERVICE - VESTING. For purposes of determining
"Years of Service" under Section 5.06, the Plan takes into account all Years of
Service an Employee completes with the Employer except:

        (a) For the sole purpose of determining a Participant's Nonforfeitable
        percentage of his Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions
        which accrued for his benefit prior to a Forfeiture Break in Service,
        the Plan disregards any Year of Service after the Participant first
        incurs a Forfeiture Break in Service. The Participant incurs a
        Forfeiture Break in Service when he incurs 5 consecutive Breaks in
        Service.

        (b) The Plan disregards any Year of Service excluded under the
        Employer's Adoption Agreement. The Plan does not apply the Break in
        Service rule under Code Section 411(a)(6)(B). Therefore, an Employee
        need not complete a Year of Service after a Break in Service before the
        Plan takes into account the Employee's otherwise includible Years of
        Service under this Article V.

        5.09 FORFEITURE OCCURS. A Participant's forfeiture, if any, of his
Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions occurs under the Plan on the
earlier of:

        (a) The last day of the vesting computation period in which the
        Participant first incurs a Forfeiture Break in Service; or

        (b) The date the Participant receives a cash-out distribution.

        The Advisory Committee determines the percentage of a Participant's
Accrued Benefit forfeiture, if any, under this Section 5.09 solely by reference
to the vesting schedule of Section 5.03. A Participant does not forfeit any
portion of his Accrued Benefit for any other reason or cause except as expressly
provided by this Section 5.09 or as provided under Section 9.14.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                     TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

        6.01 TIME OF PAYMENT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT. Unless, pursuant to Section
6.03, the Participant or the Beneficiary elects in writing to a different time
or method of payment, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to commence
distribution of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance
with this Section 6.01. A Participant must consent, in writing, to any
distribution required under this Section 6.01 if the present value of the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, at the time of the distribution to
the Participant, exceeds $3,500 and the Participant has not attained the later
of Normal Retirement Age or age 62. Furthermore, the Participant's spouse also
must consent, in writing, to any distribution, for which Section 6.04 requires
the spouse's consent. For all purposes of this Article VI, the term "annuity
starting date" means the first day of the first period for which the Plan pays
an amount as an annuity or in any other form. A distribution date under this
Article VI, unless otherwise specified within the Plan, is the date or dates the
Employer specifies in the Adoption Agreement, or as soon as administratively
practicable following that distribution date. For purposes of the consent
requirements under this Article VI, if the present value of the Participant's
Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, at the time of any distribution, exceeds $3,500,
the Advisory Committee must treat that present value as exceeding $3,500 for
purposes of all subsequent Plan distributions to the Participant.

(A) SEPARATION FROM SERVICE FOR A REASON OTHER THAN DEATH.

        (1) PARTICIPANT'S NONFORFEITABLE ACCRUED BENEFIT NOT EXCEEDING $3,500.
If the Participant's Separation from Service is for any reason other than death,
the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to distribute the Participant's
Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a lump sum, on the distribution date the
Employer specifies in the Adoption Agreement, but in no event later than the
60th day following the close of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains
Normal Retirement Age. If the Participant has attained Normal Retirement Age at
the time of his Separation from Service, the distribution under this paragraph
will occur no later than the 60th day following the close of the Plan Year in
which the Participant's Separation from Service occurs.

        (2) PARTICIPANT'S NONFORFEITABLE ACCRUED BENEFIT EXCEEDS $3,500. If the
Participant's Separation from Service is for any reason other than death, the
Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to commence distribution of the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a form and at the time elected
by the Participant, pursuant to Section 6.03. In the absence of an election by
the Participant, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to distribute
the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a lump sum (or, if
applicable, the normal annuity form of distribution required under Section
6.04), on the 60th day following the close of the Plan Year in which the latest
of the following events occurs: (a) the Participant attains Normal Retirement
Age; (b) the Participant attains age 62; or (c) the Participant's Separation
from Service.

        (3) DISABILITY. If the Participant's Separation from Service is because
of his disability, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to pay the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in lump sum, on the distribution
date the Employer specifies in the Adoption Agreement, subject to the notice and
consent requirements of this Article VI and subject to the applicable mandatory
commencement dates described in Paragraphs (1) and (2).

        (4) HARDSHIP. Prior to the time at which the Participant may receive
distribution under Paragraphs (1), (2) or (3), the Participant may request a
distribution from his Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in an amount necessary to
satisfy a hardship, if the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to permit
hardship distributions. Unless the Employer elects otherwise in the Adoption
Agreement, a hardship distribution must be on account of any of the following:
(a) medical expenses; (b) the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of the
Participant's principal residence; (c) post-secondary education tuition, for the
next semester or quarter, for the Participant or for the Participant's spouse,
children or dependents; (d) to

                                      6.01
<PAGE>   73

prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or the
foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant's principal residence; (e)
funeral expenses of the Participant's family member; or (f) the Participant's
disability. A partially-vested Participant may not receive a hardship
distribution described in this Paragraph (A)(4) prior to incurring a Forfeiture
Break in Service, unless the hardship distribution is a cash-out distribution
(as defined in Article V). The Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to
make the hardship distribution as soon as administratively practicable after the
Participant makes a valid request for the hardship distribution.

(B) REQUIRED BEGINNING DATE. If any distribution commencement date described
under Paragraph (A) of this Section 6.01, either by Plan provision or by
Participant election (or nonelection), is later than the Participant's Required
Beginning Date, the Advisory Committee instead must direct the Trustee to make
distribution on the Participant's Required Beginning Date, subject to the
transitional election, if applicable, under Section 6.03(D). A Participant's
Required Beginning Date is the April 1 following the close of the calendar year
in which the Participant attains age 70-1/2. However, if the Participant, prior
to incurring a Separation from Service, attained age 70-1/2 by January 1, 1988,
and, for the five Plan Year period ending in the calendar year in which he
attained age 70-1/2 and for all subsequent years, the Participant was not a more
than 5% owner, the Required Beginning Date is the April 1 following the close of
the calendar year in which the Participant separates from Service or, if
earlier, the April 1 following the close of the calendar year in which the
Participant becomes a more than 5% owner. Furthermore, if a Participant who was
not a more than 5% owner attained age 70-1/2 during 1988 and did not incur a
Separation from Service prior to January 1, 1989, his Required Beginning Date is
April 1, 1990. A mandatory distribution at the Participant's Required Beginning
Date will be in lump sum (or, if applicable, the normal annuity form of
distribution required under Section 6.04) unless the Participant, pursuant to
the provisions of this Article VI, makes a valid election to receive an
alternative form of payment.

(C) DEATH OF THE PARTICIPANT. The Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee, in
accordance with this Section 6.01(C), to distribute to the Participant's
Beneficiary the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit remaining in the
Trust at the time of the Participant's death. Subject to the requirements of
Section 6.04, the Advisory Committee will determine the death benefit by
reducing the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit by any security
interest the Plan has against that Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit by reason of
an outstanding Participant loan.

        (1) DECEASED PARTICIPANT'S NONFORFEITABLE ACCRUED BENEFIT DOES NOT
EXCEED $3,500. The Advisory Committee, subject to the requirements of Section
6.04, must direct the Trustee to distribute the deceased Participant's
Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a single sum, as soon as administratively
practicable following the Participant's death or, if later, the date on which
the Advisory Committee receives notification of or otherwise confirms the
Participant's death.

        (2) DECEASED PARTICIPANT'S NONFORFEITABLE ACCRUED BENEFIT EXCEEDS
$3,500. The Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to distribute the
deceased Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit at the time and in the
form elected by the Participant or, if applicable by the Beneficiary, as
permitted under this Article VI. In the absence of an election, subject to the
requirements of Section 6.04, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to
distribute the Participant's undistributed Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a
lump sum on the first distribution date following the close of the Plan Year in
which the Participant's death occurs or, if later, the first distribution date
following the date the Advisory Committee receives notification of or otherwise
confirms the Participant's death.

        If the death benefit is payable in full to the Participant's surviving
spouse, the surviving spouse, in addition to the distribution options provided
in this Section 6.01(C), may elect distribution at any time or in any form
(other than a joint and survivor annuity) this Article VI would permit for a
Participant.

                                      6.02
<PAGE>   74

        6.02 METHOD OF PAYMENT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT. Subject to the annuity
distribution requirements, if any, prescribed by Section 6.04, and any
restrictions prescribed by Section 6.03, a Participant or Beneficiary may elect
distribution under one, or any combination, of the following methods: (a) by
payment in a lump sum; or (b) by payment in monthly, quarterly or annual
installments over a fixed reasonable period of time, not exceeding the life
expectancy of the Participant, or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of
the Participant and his Beneficiary. The Employer may elect in its Adoption
Agreement to modify the methods of payment available under this Section 6.02.

        The distribution options permitted under this Section 6.02 are available
only if the present value of the Participant Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, at
the time of the distribution to the Participant, exceeds $3,500. To facilitate
installment payments under this Article VI, the Advisory Committee may direct
the Trustee to segregate all or any part of the Participant's Accrued Benefit in
a separate Account. The Trustee will invest the Participant's segregated Account
in Federally insured interest bearing savings account(s) or time deposit(s) (or
a combination of both), or in other fixed income investments. A segregated
Account remains a part of the Trust, but it alone shares in any income it earns,
and it alone bears any expense or loss it incurs. A Participant or Beneficiary
may elect to receive an installment distribution in the form of a
Nontransferable Annuity Contract. Under an installment distribution, the
Participant or Beneficiary, at any time, may elect to accelerate the payment of
all, or any portion, of the Participant's unpaid Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit,
subject to the requirements of Section 6.04.

(A) MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPANTS. The Advisory Committee
may not direct the Trustee to distribute the Participant's Nonforfeitable
Accrued Benefit, nor may the Participant elect to have the Trustee distribute
his Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, under a method of payment which, as of the
Required Beginning Date, does not satisfy the minimum distribution requirements
under Code Section 401(a)(9) and the applicable Treasury regulations. The
minimum distribution for a calendar year equals the Participant's Nonforfeitable
Accrued Benefit as of the latest valuation date preceding the beginning of the
calendar year divided by the Participant's life expectancy or, if applicable,
the joint and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and his designated
Beneficiary (as determined under Article VIII, subject to the requirements of
the Code Section 401(a)(9) regulations). The Advisory Committee will increase
the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, as determined on the relevant
valuation date, for contributions or forfeitures allocated after the valuation
date and by December 31 of the valuation calendar year, and will decrease the
valuation by distributions made after the valuation date and by December 31 of
the valuation calendar year. For purposes of this valuation, the Advisory
Committee will treat any portion of the minimum distribution for the first
distribution calendar year made after the close of that year as a distribution
occurring in that first distribution calendar year. In computing a minimum
distribution, the Advisory Committee must use the unisex life expectancy
multiples under Treas. Reg. Section 1.72-9. The Advisory Committee, only upon
the Participant's written request, will compute the minimum distribution for a
calendar year subsequent to the first calendar year for which the Plan requires
a minimum distribution by redetermining the applicable life expectancy. However,
the Advisory Committee may not redetermine the joint life and last survivor
expectancy of the Participant and a nonspouse designated Beneficiary in a manner
which takes into account any adjustment to a life expectancy other than the
Participant's life expectancy.

        If the Participant's spouse is not his designated Beneficiary, a method
of payment to the Participant (whether by Participant election or by Advisory
Committee direction) may not provide more than incidental benefits to the
Beneficiary. For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, the Plan must
satisfy the minimum distribution incidental benefit ("MDIB") requirement in the
Treasury regulations issued under Code Section 401(a)(9) for distributions made
on or after the Participant's Required Beginning Date and before the
Participant's death. To satisfy the MDIB requirement, the Advisory Committee
will compute the minimum distribution required by this Section 6.02(A) by
substituting the applicable MDIB divisor for the applicable life expectancy
factor, if the MDIB divisor is a lesser number. Following the Participant's
death, the Advisory Committee WILL compute the minimum distribution required by
this Section 6.02(A) solely on the basis of the applicable life expectancy
factor and will disregard the MDIB factor. For Plan Years beginning prior to
January 1, 1989, the Plan satisfies the incidental benefits requirement if the
distributions to the Participant satisfied the MDIB requirement or if the
present value of the retirement benefits payable

                                      6.03
<PAGE>   75

solely to the Participant is greater than 50% of the present value of the total
benefits payable to the Participant and his Beneficiaries. The Advisory
Committee must determine whether benefits to the Beneficiary are incidental as
of the date the Trustee is to commence payment of the retirement benefits to the
Participant, or as of any date the Trustee redetermines the payment period to
the Participant.

        The minimum distribution for the first distribution calendar year is due
by the Participant's Required Beginning Date. The minimum distribution for each
subsequent distribution calendar year, including the calendar year in which the
Participant's Required Beginning Date occurs, is due by December 31 of that
year. If the Participant receives distribution in the form of a Nontransferable
Annuity Contract, the distribution satisfies this Section 6.02(A) if the
contract complies with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the
applicable Treasury regulations.

(B) MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR BENEFICIARIES. The method of
distribution to the Participant's Beneficiary must satisfy Code Section
401(a)(9) and the applicable Treasury regulations. If the Participant's death
occurs after his Required Beginning Date or, if earlier, the date the
Participant commences an irrevocable annuity pursuant to Section 6.04, the
method of payment to the Beneficiary must provide for completion of payment over
a period which does not exceed the payment period which had commenced for the
Participant. If the Participant's death occurs prior to his Required Beginning
Date, and the Participant had not commenced an irrevocable annuity pursuant to
Section 6.04, the method of payment to the Beneficiary, subject to Section 6.04,
must provide for completion of payment to the Beneficiary over a period not
exceeding: (i) 5 years after the date of the Participant's death; or (ii) if the
Beneficiary is a designated Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary's life
expectancy. The Advisory Committee may not direct payment of the Participant's
Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit over a period described in clause (ii) unless the
Trustee will commence payment to the designated Beneficiary no later than the
December 31 following the close of the calendar year in which the Participant's
death occurred or, if later, and the designated Beneficiary is the Participant's
surviving spouse, December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant
would have attained age 70-1/2. If the Trustee will make distribution in
accordance with clause (ii), the minimum distribution for a calendar year equals
the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit as of the latest valuation date
preceding the beginning of the calendar year divided by the designated
Beneficiary's life expectancy. The Advisory Committee must use the unisex life
expectancy multiples under Treas. Reg. Section 1.72-9 for purposes of applying
this paragraph. The Advisory Committee, only upon the written request of the
Participant or of the Participant's surviving spouse, will recalculate the life
expectancy of the Participant's surviving spouse not more frequently than
annually, but may not recalculate the life expectancy of a nonspouse designated
Beneficiary after the Trustee commences payment to the designated Beneficiary.
The Advisory Committee will apply this paragraph by treating any amount paid to
the Participant's child, which becomes payable to the Participant's surviving
spouse upon the child's attaining the age of majority, as paid to the
Participant's surviving spouse. Upon the Beneficiary's written request, the
Advisory Committee must direct the Trustee to accelerate payment of all, or any
portion, of the Participant's unpaid Accrued Benefit, as soon as
administratively practicable following the effective date of that request.

        6.03 BENEFIT PAYMENT ELECTIONS. Not earlier than 90 days, but not later
than 30 days, before the Participant's annuity starting date, the Advisory
Committee must provide a benefit notice to a Participant who is eligible to make
an election under this Section 6.03. The benefit notice must explain the
optional forms of benefit in the Plan, including the material features and
relative values of those options, and the Participant's right to defer
distribution until he attains the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62.

        If a Participant or Beneficiary makes an election prescribed by this
Section 6.03, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to distribute the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with that election.
Any election under this Section 6.03 is subject to the requirements of Section
6.02 and of Section 6.04. The Participant or Beneficiary must make an election
under this Section 6.03 by filing his election with the Advisory Committee at
any time before the Trustee otherwise would commence to pay a Participant's
Accrued Benefit in accordance with the requirements of Article V1.

                                      6.04
<PAGE>   76

(A) PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS AFTER SEPARATION FROM SERVICE. If the present value of
a Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit exceeds $3,500, he may elect to
have the Trustee commence distribution as of any distribution date permitted
under the Employer's Adoption Agreement Section 6.03. The Participant may
reconsider an election at any time prior to the annuity starting date and elect
to commence distribution as of any other distribution date permitted under the
Employer's Adoption Agreement Section 6.03. If the Participant is
partially-vested in his Accrued Benefit, an election under this Paragraph (A) to
distribute prior to the Participant's incurring a Forfeiture Break in Service
(as defined in Section 5.08), must be in the form of a cash-out distribution (as
defined in Article V). A Participant may not receive a cash-out distribution if,
prior to the time the Trustee actually makes the cash-out distribution, the
Participant returns to employment with the Employer. Following his attainment of
Normal Retirement Age, a Participant who has separated from Service may elect
distribution as of any distribution date, irrespective of the elections under
Adoption Agreement Section 6.03.

(B) PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS PRIOR TO SEPARATION FROM SERVICE. The Employer must
specify in its Adoption Agreement the distribution election rights, if any, a
Participant has prior to his Separation from Service. A Participant must make an
election under this Section 6.03(B) on a form prescribed by the Advisory
Committee at any time during the Plan Year for which his election is to be
effective. In his written election, the Participant must specify the percentage
or dollar amount he wishes the Trustee to distribute to him. The Participant's
election relates solely to the percentage or dollar amount specified in his
election form and his right to elect to receive an amount, if any, for a
particular Plan Year greater than the dollar amount or percentage specified in
his election form terminates on the Accounting Date. The Trustee must make a
distribution to a Participant in accordance with his election under this Section
6.03(B) within the 90 day period (or as soon as administratively practicable)
after the Participant files his written election with the Trustee. The Trustee
will distribute the balance of the Participant's Accrued Benefit not distributed
pursuant to his election(s) in accordance with the other distribution provisions
of this Plan.

(C) DEATH BENEFIT ELECTIONS. If the present value of the deceased Participant's
Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit exceeds $3,500, the Participant's Beneficiary may
elect to have the Trustee distribute the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued
Benefit in a form and within a period permitted under Section 6.02. The
Beneficiary's election is subject to any restrictions designated in writing by
the Participant and not revoked as of his date of death.

(D) TRANSITIONAL ELECTIONS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.01 and
6.02, if the Participant (or Beneficiary) signed a written distribution
designation prior to January 1, 1984, the Advisory Committee must distribute the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with that
designation, subject however, to the survivor requirements, if applicable, of
Sections 6.04, 6.05 and 6.06. This Section 6.03(D) does not apply to a pre-1984
distribution designation, and the Advisory Committee will not comply with that
designation, if any of the following applies: (1) the method of distribution
would have disqualified the Plan under Code Section 401(a)(9) as in effect on
December 31, 1983; (2) the Participant did not have an Accrued Benefit as of
December 31, 1983; (3) the distribution designation does not specify the timing
and form of the distribution and the death Beneficiaries (in order of priority);
(4) the substitution of a Beneficiary modifies the payment period of the
distribution; or, (5) the Participant (or Beneficiary) modifies or revokes the
distribution designation. In the event of a revocation, the Plan must
distribute, no later than December 31 of the calendar year following the year of
revocation, the amount which the Participant would have received under Section
6.02(A) if the distribution designation had not been in effect or, if the
Beneficiary revokes the distribution designation, the amount which the
Beneficiary would have received under Section 6.02(B) if the distribution
designation had not been in effect. The Advisory Committee will apply this
Section 6.03(D) to rollovers and transfers in accordance with Part J of the Code
Section 401(a)(9) Treasury regulations.

                                      6.05
<PAGE>   77

        6.04 ANNUITY DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS AND SURVIVING SPOUSES.

(A) JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. The Advisory Committee must direct the Trustee
to distribute a married or unmarried Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued
Benefit in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity, unless the
Participant makes a valid waiver election (described in Section 6.05) within the
90 day period ending on the annuity starting date. If, as of the annuity
starting date, the Participant is married, a qualified joint and survivor
annuity is an immediate annuity which is purchasable with the Participant's
Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit and which provides a life annuity for the
Participant and a survivor annuity payable for the remaining life of the
Participant's surviving spouse equal to 50% of the amount of the annuity payable
during the life of the Participant. If, as of the annuity starting date, the
Participant is not married, a qualified joint and survivor annuity is an
immediate life annuity for the Participant which is purchasable with the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit. On or before the annuity starting
date, the Advisory Committee, without Participant or spousal consent, must
direct the Trustee to pay the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a
lump sum, in lieu of a qualified joint and survivor annuity, in accordance with
Section 6.01, if the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is not greater
than $3,500. This Section 6.04(A) applies only to a Participant who has
completed at least one Hour of Service with the Employer after August 22, 1984.

(B) PRERETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY. If a married Participant dies prior to his
annuity starting date, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to
distribute a portion of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit to the
Participant's surviving spouse in the form of a preretirement survivor annuity,
unless the Participant has a valid waiver election (as described in Section
6.06) in effect, or unless the Participant and his spouse were not married
throughout the one year period ending on the date of his death. A preretirement
survivor annuity is an annuity which is purchasable with 50% of the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit (determined as of the date of the
Participant's death) and which is payable for the life of the Participant's
surviving spouse. The value of the preretirement survivor annuity is
attributable to Employer contributions and to Employee contributions in the same
proportion as the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is attributable
to those contributions. The portion of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued
Benefit not payable under this paragraph is payable to the Participant's
Beneficiary, in accordance with the other provisions of this Article VI. If the
present value of the preretirement survivor annuity does not exceed $3,500, the
Advisory Committee, on or before the annuity starting date, must direct the
Trustee to make a lump sum distribution to the Participant's surviving spouse,
in lieu of a preretirement survivor annuity. This Section 6.04(B) applies only
to a Participant who dies after August 22, 1984, and either (i) completes at
least one Hour of Service with the Employer after August 22, 1984, or (ii)
separated from Service with at least 10 Years of Service (as defined in Section
5.06) and completed at least one Hour of Service with the Employer in a Plan
Year beginning after December 31, 1975.

(C) SURVIVING SPOUSE ELECTIONS. If the present value of the preretirement
survivor annuity exceeds $3,500, the Participant's surviving spouse may elect to
have the Trustee commence payment of the preretirement survivor annuity at any
time following the date of the Participant's death, but not later than the
mandatory distribution periods described in Section 6.02, and may elect any of
the forms of payment described in Section 6.02, in lieu of the preretirement
survivor annuity. In the absence of an election by the surviving spouse, the
Advisory Committee must direct the Trustee to distribute the preretirement
survivor annuity on the first distribution date following the close of the Plan
Year in which the latest of the following events occurs: (i) the Participant's
death; (ii) the date the Advisory Committee receives notification of or
otherwise confirms the Participant's death; (iii) the date the Participant would
have attained Normal Retirement Age; or (iv) the date the Participant would have
attained age 62.

                                      6.06
<PAGE>   78
(D) SPECIAL RULES. If the Participant has in effect a valid waiver election
regarding the qualified joint and survivor annuity or the preretirement survivor
annuity, the Advisory Committee must direct the Trustee to distribute the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with Sections 6.01,
6.02 and 6.03. The Advisory Committee will reduce the Participant's
Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit by any security interest (pursuant to any offset
rights authorized by Section 10.03[E]) held by the Plan by reason of a
Participant loan to determine the value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable
Accrued Benefit distributable in the form of a qualified joint and survivor
annuity or preretirement survivor annuity, provided any post-August 18, 1985,
loan satisfied the spousal consent requirement described in Section 10.03[E] of
the Plan. For purposes of applying this Article VI, the Advisory Committee
treats a former spouse as the Participant's spouse or surviving spouse to the
extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order described in Section
6.07. The provisions of this Section 6.04, and of Sections 6.05 and 6.06, apply
separately to the portion of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit
subject to the qualified domestic relations order and to the portion of the
Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit not subject to that order.

(E) PROFIT SHARING PLAN ELECTION. If this Plan is a profit sharing plan, the
Employer must elect the extent to which the preceding provisions of Section 6.04
apply. If the Employer elects to apply this Section 6.04 only to a Participant
described in this Section 6.04(E), the preceding provisions of this Section 6.04
apply only to the following Participants: (1) a Participant as respects whom the
Plan is a direct or indirect transferee from a plan subject to the Code Section
417 requirements and the Plan received the transfer after December 31, 1984,
unless the transfer is an elective transfer described in Section 13.06; (2) a
Participant who elects a life annuity distribution (if Section 6.02 or Section
13.02 of the Plan requires the Plan to provide a life annuity distribution
option); and (3) a Participant whose benefits under a defined benefit plan
maintained by the Employer are offset by benefits provided under this Plan. If
the Employer elects to apply this Section 6.04 to all Participants, the
preceding provisions of this Section 6.04 apply to all Participants described in
the first two paragraphs of this Section 6.04, without regard to the limitations
of this Section 6.04(E). Sections 6.05 and 6.06 only apply to Participants to
whom the preceding provisions of this Section 6.04 apply.

        6.05 WAIVER ELECTION - QUALIFIED JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. Not earlier
than 90 days, but not later than 30 days, before the Participant's annuity
starting date, the Advisory Committee must provide the Participant a written
explanation of the terms and conditions of the qualified joint and survivor
annuity, the Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to
waive the joint and survivor form of benefit, the rights of the Participant's
spouse regarding the waiver election and the Participant's right to make, and
the effect of, a revocation of a waiver election. The Plan does not limit the
number of times the Participant may revoke a waiver of the qualified joint and
survivor annuity or make a new waiver during the election period.

        A married Participant's waiver election is not valid unless (a) the
Participant's spouse (to whom the survivor annuity is payable under the
qualified joint and survivor annuity), after the Participant has received the
written explanation described in this Section 6.05, has consented in writing to
the waiver election, the spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of the
election, and a notary public or the Plan Administrator (or his representative)
witnesses the spouse's consent, (b) the spouse consents to the alternate form of
payment designated by the Participant or to any change in that designated form
of payment, and (c) unless the spouse is the Participant's sole primary
Beneficiary, the spouse consents to the Participant's Beneficiary designation or
to any change in the Participant's Beneficiary designation. The spouse's consent
to a waiver of the qualified joint and survivor annuity is irrevocable, unless
the Participant revokes the waiver election. The spouse may execute a blanket
consent to any form of payment designation or to any Beneficiary designation
made by the Participant, if the spouse acknowledges the right to limit that
consent to a specific designation but, in writing, waives that right. The
consent requirements of this Section 6.05 apply to a former spouse of the
Participant, to the extent required under a qualified domestic relations order
described in Section 6.07.

                                      6.07
<PAGE>   79

        The Advisory Committee will accept as valid a waiver election which does
not satisfy the spousal consent requirements if the Advisory Committee
establishes the Participant does not have a spouse, the Advisory Committee is
not able to locate the Participant's spouse, the Participant is legally
separated or has been abandoned (within the meaning of State law) and the
Participant has a court order to that effect, or other circumstances exist under
which the Secretary of the Treasury will excuse the consent requirement. If the
Participant's spouse is legally incompetent to give consent, the spouse's legal
guardian (even if the guardian is the Participant) may give consent.

        6.06 WAIVER ELECTION - PRERETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY. The Advisory
Committee must provide a written explanation of the preretirement survivor
annuity to each married Participant, within the following period which ends
last: (1) the period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year in which the
Participant attains age 32 and ending on the last day of the Plan Year in which
the Participant attains age 34; (2) a reasonable period after an Employee
becomes a Participant; (3) a reasonable period after the joint and survivor
rules become applicable to the Participant; or (4) a reasonable period after a
fully subsidized preretirement survivor annuity no longer satisfies the
requirements for a fully subsidized benefit. A reasonable period described in
clauses (2), (3) and (4) is the period beginning one year before and ending one
year after the applicable event. If the Participant separates from Service
before attaining age 35, clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) do not apply and the
Advisory Committee must provide the written explanation within the period
beginning one year before and ending one year after the Separation from Service.
The written explanation must describe, in a manner consistent with Treasury
regulations, the terms and conditions of the preretirement survivor annuity
comparable to the explanation of the qualified joint and survivor annuity
required under Section 6.05. The Plan does not limit the number of times the
Participant may revoke a waiver of the preretirement survivor annuity or make a
new waiver during the election period.

        A Participant's waiver election of the preretirement survivor annuity is
not valid unless (a) the Participant makes the waiver election no earlier than
the first day of the Plan Year in which he attains age 35 and (b) the
Participant's spouse (to whom the preretirement survivor annuity is payable)
satisfies the consent requirements described in Section 6.05, except the spouse
need not consent to the forth of benefit payable to the designated Beneficiary.
The spouse's consent to the waiver of the preretirement survivor annuity is
irrevocable, unless the Participant revokes the waiver election. Irrespective of
the time of election requirement described in clause (a), if the Participant
separates from Service prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which he
attains age 35, the Advisory Committee will accept a waiver election as respects
the Participant's Accrued Benefit attributable to his Service prior to his
Separation from Service. Furthermore, if a Participant who has not separated
from Service makes a valid waiver election, except for the timing requirement of
clause (a), the Advisory Committee will accept that election as valid, but only
until the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35. A
waiver election described in this paragraph is not valid unless made after the
Participant has received the written explanation described in this Section 6.06.

        6.07 DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS. Nothing contained in
this Plan prevents the Trustee, in accordance with the direction of the Advisory
Committee, from complying with the provisions of a qualified domestic relations
order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)). This Plan specifically permits
distribution to an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order at
any time, irrespective of whether the Participant has attained his earliest
retirement age (as defined under Code Section 414(p)) under the Plan. A
distribution to an alternate payee prior to the Participant's attainment of
earliest retirement age is available only if: (1) the order specifies
distribution at that time or permits an agreement between the Plan and the
alternate payee to authorize an earlier distribution; and (2) if the present
value of the alternate payee's benefits under the Plan exceeds $3,500, and the
order requires, the alternate payee consents to any distribution occurring prior
to the Participant's attainment of earliest retirement age. The Employer, in an
addendum to its Adoption Agreement numbered 6.07, may elect to limit
distribution to an alternate payee only when the Participant has attained his
earliest retirement age under the Plan. Nothing in this Section 6.07 gives a
Participant a right to receive distribution at a time otherwise not permitted
under the Plan nor does it permit the alternate payee to receive a form of
payment

                                      6.08
<PAGE>   80

not otherwise permitted under the Plan.

        The Advisory Committee must establish reasonable procedures to determine
the qualified status of a domestic relations order. Upon receiving a domestic
relations order, the Advisory Committee promptly will notify the Participant and
any alternate payee named in the order, in writing, of the receipt of the order
and the Plan's procedures for determining the qualified status of the order.
Within a reasonable period of time after receiving the domestic relations order,
the Advisory Committee must determine the qualified status of the order and must
notify the Participant and each alternate payee, in writing, of its
determination. The Advisory Committee must provide notice under this paragraph
by mailing to the individual's address specified in the domestic relations
order, or in a manner consistent with Department of Labor regulations.

        If any portion of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is
payable during the period the Advisory Committee is making its determination of
the qualified status of the domestic relations order, the Advisory Committee
must make a separate accounting of the amounts payable. If the Advisory
Committee determines the order is a qualified domestic relations order within 18
months of the date amounts first are payable following receipt of the order, the
Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to distribute the payable amounts in
accordance with the order. If the Advisory Committee does not make its
determination of the qualified status of the order within the 18-month
determination period, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to
distribute the payable amounts in the manner the Plan would distribute if the
order did not exist and will apply the order prospectively if the Advisory
Committee later determines the order is a qualified domestic relations order.

        To the extent it is not inconsistent with the provisions of the
qualified domestic relations order, the Advisory Committee may direct the
Trustee to invest any partitioned amount in a segregated subaccount or separate
account and to invest the account in Federally insured, interest-bearing savings
account(s) or time deposit(s) (or a combination of both), or in other fixed
income investments. A segregated subaccount remains a part of the Trust, but it
alone shares in any income it earns, and it alone bears any expense or loss it
incurs. The Trustee will make any payments or distributions required under this
Section 6.07 by separate benefit checks or other separate distribution to the
alternate payee(s).

                                   ARTICLE VII
                       EMPLOYER ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

        7.01 INFORMATION TO COMMITTEE. The Employer must supply current
information to the Advisory Committee as to the name, date of birth, date of
employment, annual compensation, leaves of absence, Years of Service and date of
termination of employment of each Employee who is, or who will be eligible to
become, a Participant under the Plan, together with any other information which
the Advisory Committee considers necessary. The Employer's records as to the
current information the Employer furnishes to the Advisory Committee are
conclusive as to all persons.

        7.02 NO LIABILITY. The Employer assumes no obligation or responsibility
to any of its Employees, Participants or Beneficiaries for any act of, or
failure to act, on the part of its Advisory Committee (unless the Employer is
the Advisory Committee), the Trustee, the Custodian, if any, or the Plan
Administrator (unless the Employer is the Plan Administrator).

        7.03 INDEMNITY OF CERTAIN FIDUCIARIES. The Employer indemnifies and
saves harmless the Plan Administrator and the members of the Advisory Committee,
and each of them, from and against any and all loss resulting from liability to
which the Plan Administrator and the Advisory Committee, or the members of the
Advisory Committee, may be subjected by reason of any act or conduct (except
willful misconduct or gross negligence) in their official capacities in the
administration of this Trust or Plan or both, including all expenses reasonably
incurred in their defense, in case the Employer fails to provide such defense.
The indemnification provisions of this Section 7.03 do not relieve the Plan
Administrator or any Advisory Committee member from any liability he may have
under ERISA for breach of a fiduciary duty. Furthermore, the Plan Administrator
and the Advisory Committee members and the Employer may execute a letter
agreement further delineating the indemnification agreement of this Section
7.03, provided the letter agreement must be consistent with and does not violate
ERISA. The indemnification provisions of this Section 7.03 extend to the Trustee
(or to a Custodian, if any) solely to the extent provided by a letter agreement
executed by the Trustee (or Custodian) and the Employer.

        7.04 EMPLOYER DIRECTION OF INVESTMENT. The Employer has the right to
direct the Trustee with respect to the investment and re-investment of assets
comprising the Trust Fund only if the Trustee consents in writing to permit such
direction. If the Trustee consents to Employer direction of investment, the
Trustee and the Employer must execute a letter agreement as a part of this Plan
containing such conditions, limitations and other provisions they deem
appropriate before the Trustee will follow any Employer direction as respects
the investment or re-investment of any part of the Trust Fund.

        7.05 AMENDMENT TO VESTING SCHEDULE. Though the Employer reserves the
right to amend the vesting schedule at any time, the Advisory Committee will not
apply the amended vesting schedule to reduce the Nonforfeitable percentage of
any Participant's Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions
(determined as of the later of the date the Employer adopts the amendment, or
the date the amendment becomes effective) to a percentage less than the
Nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to the
amendment. An amended vesting schedule will apply to a Participant only if the
Participant receives credit for at least one Hour of Service after the new
schedule becomes effective.

        If the Employer makes a permissible amendment to the vesting schedule,
each Participant having at least 3 Years of Service with the Employer may elect
to have the percentage of his Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit computed under the
Plan without regard to the amendment. For Plan Years beginning prior to January
1, 1989, the election described in the preceding sentence applies only to
Participants having at least 5 Years of Service with the Employer. The
Participant must file his election with the Advisory Committee within 60 days of
the latest of (a) the Employer's adoption of the amendment; (b) the effective
date of the amendment; or (c) his receipt of a copy of the amendment. The
Advisory Committee, as soon as practicable, must forward a true copy of any
amendment to the vesting schedule to each affected

                                      7.01
<PAGE>   82

Participant, together with an explanation of the effect of the amendment, the
appropriate form upon which the Participant may make an election to remain under
the vesting schedule provided under the Plan prior to the amendment and notice
of the time within which the Participant must make an election to remain under
the prior vesting schedule. The election described in this Section 7.05 does not
apply to a Participant if the amended vesting schedule provides for vesting at
least as rapid at all times as the vesting schedule in effect prior to the
amendment. For purposes of this Section 7.05, an amendment to the vesting
schedule includes any Plan amendment which directly or indirectly affects the
computation of the Nonforfeitable percentage of an Employee's rights to his
Employer derived Accrued Benefit. Furthermore, the Advisory Committee must treat
any shift in the vesting schedule, due to a change in the Plan's top heavy
status, as an amendment to the vesting schedule for purposes of this Section
7.05.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
                            -------------------------

      This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of the ____ day of
______, 200__, by and between Parker-Hannifin Corporation, an Ohio corporation
(the "Company"), and _________________ (the "Indemnitee"), a Director of the
Company.

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

      A. The Indemnitee is presently serving as a Director of the Company and
the Company desires the Indemnitee to continue in that capacity. The Indemnitee
is willing, subject to certain conditions including without limitation the
execution and performance of this Agreement by the Company, to continue in that
capacity.

      B. In addition to the indemnification to which the Indemnitee is entitled
under the Regulations of the Company (the "Regulations"), the Company has
obtained, as its sole expense, insurance protecting the Company and its officers
and directors including the Indemnitee against certain losses arising out of
actual or threatened actions, suits, or proceedings to which such persons may be
made or threatened to be made parties. However, as a result of circumstances
having no relation to, and beyond the control of, the Company and the
Indemnitee, the scope of that insurance has been reduced and there can be no
assurance of the continuation or renewal of that insurance.

      Accordingly, and in order to induce the Indemnitee to continue to serve in
his present capacity, the Company and the Indemnitee agree as follows:

      1. CONTINUED SERVICE. The Indemnitee shall continue to serve at the will
of the Company as a Director of the Company so long as he is duly elected and
qualified in accordance with the Regulations or until he resigns in writing in
accordance with applicable law.

      2. INITIAL INDEMNITY. (a) The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee, if
or when he is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
Company), by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director of the Company or
by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in any such
capacity, against any and all costs, charges, expenses (including without
limitation fees and expenses of attorneys and/or others; all such costs, charges
and expenses being herein jointly referred to as "Expenses"), judgments, fines,
and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection therewith including any appeal of or from any judgment
or decision, unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of
competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee's action or failure to act involved
an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the
Company or undertaken with reckless disregard for the best interests of the
Company. In addition, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
indemnification hereunder

<PAGE>   3

                                                                        2

shall be made only if the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee
did not satisfy the foregoing standard of conduct to the extent applicable
thereto.

      (b) The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee, if or when he is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, or proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a
judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a
Director of the Company against any and all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement thereof
or any appeal of or from any judgment or decision, unless it is proved by clear
and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that the
Indemnitee's action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken
with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Company or undertaken with
reckless disregard for the best interests of the Company, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any action or suit in which the only
liability asserted against Indemnitee is pursuant to Section 1701.95 of the Ohio
Revised Code.

      (c) Any indemnification under Section 2(a) or 2(b) (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon
a determination that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
Section 2(a) or 2(b). Such authorization shall be made (i) by the Directors of
the Company (the "Board") by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors
who were not and are not parties to or threatened with such action, suit, or
proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum of disinterested Directors is not available
or if a majority of such quorum so directs, in a written opinion by independent
legal counsel (designated for such purpose by the Board) which shall not be an
attorney, or a firm having associated with it an attorney, who has been retained
by or who has performed services for the Company, or any person to be
indemnified, within the five years preceding such determination, or (iii) by the
shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders"), or (iv) by the court in which
such action, suit, or proceeding was brought.

      (d) To the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise, including without limitation the dismissal of an action without
prejudice, in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Section
2(a) or 2(b), or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith. Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee in defending any such action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by
the Company as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit, or proceeding under the procedure set forth in Section 4(b)
hereof.

      (e) For purposes of this Agreement, references to "other enterprises"
shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on the Indemnitee with respect to any employee benefit
plan; references to "serving at the request of the Company" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, the Indemnitee with respect to an employee

                                                                        3

benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; references to the masculine
shall include the feminine; and references to the singular shall include the
plural and VICE VERSA.

      3. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION. Pursuant to Section 1701.13(E)(6) of the
Ohio Revised Code (the "ORC"), without limiting any right which the Indemnitee
may have pursuant to Section 2 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement
or the Articles, the Regulations, the ORC, any policy of insurance, or
otherwise, but subject to any limitation on the maximum permissible indemnity
which may exist under applicable law at the time of any request for indemnity
hereunder and subject to the following provisions of this Section 3, the Company
shall indemnify the Indemnitee against any amount which he is or becomes
obligated to pay relating to or arising out of any claim made against him
because of any act, failure to act, or neglect or breach of duty, including any
actual or alleged error, misstatement, or misleading statement, which he
commits, suffers, permits, or acquiesces in while acting in his capacity as a
Director of the Company. The payments which the Company is obligated to make
pursuant to this Section 3 shall include without limitation, judgments, fines,
and amounts paid in settlement and any and all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith including any appeal of or
from any judgment or decision; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be
obligated under this Section 3 to make any payment in connection with any claim
against the Indemnitee:

      (a) to the extent of any fine or similar governmental imposition which the
Company is prohibited by applicable law from paying which results from a final,
nonappealable order; or

      (b) to the extent based upon or attributable to the Indemnitee having
actually realized a personal gain or profit to which he was not legally
entitled, including without limitation profit from the purchase and sale by the
Indemnitee of equity securities of the Company which are recoverable by the
Company pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
profit arising from transactions in publicly traded securities of the Company
which were effected by the Indemnitee in violation of Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

A determination as to whether the Indemnitee shall be entitled to
indemnification under this Section 3 shall be made in accordance with Section
4(a) hereof. Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending any claim to which
this Section 3 applies shall be paid by the Company as they are actually and
reasonably incurred in advance of the final disposition of such claim under the
procedure set forth in Section 4(b) hereof.

      4. CERTAIN PROCEDURES RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION. (a) For purposes of
pursuing his rights to indemnification under Section 3 hereof, the Indemnitee
shall (i) submit to the Board a sworn statement of request for indemnification
substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof
(the "Indemnification Statement") averring that he is entitled to
indemnification hereunder; and (ii) present to the Company reasonable evidence
of all amounts for which indemnification is requested. Submission of an
Indemnification Statement to the Board shall create a presumption that the
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, and the Company shall,
within 60 calendar days after submission of the Indemnification Statement, make

<PAGE>   5

                                                                        4

the payments requested in the Indemnification Statement to or for the benefit of
the Indemnitee, unless (i) within such 60-calendar-day period the Board shall
resolve by vote of a majority of the Directors at a meeting at which a quorum is
present that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under Section 3
hereof, (ii) such vote shall be based upon clear and convincing evidence
(sufficient to rebut the foregoing presumption), and (iii) the Indemnitee shall
have received within such period notice in writing of such vote, which notice
shall disclose with particularity the evidence upon which the vote is based. The
foregoing notice shall be sworn to by all persons who participated in the vote
and voted to deny indemnification. The provisions of this Section 4(a) are
intended to be procedural only and shall not affect the right of Indemnitee to
indemnification under Section 3 of this Agreement so long as Indemnitee follows
the prescribed procedure and any determination by the Board that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification and any failure to make the payments requested
in the Indemnification Statement shall be subject to judicial review by any
court of competent jurisdiction.

      (b) For purposes of obtaining payments of Expenses in advance of final
disposition pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2(d) or the last sentence
of Section 3 hereof, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a sworn request
for advancement of Expenses substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 attached
hereto and made a part hereof (the "Undertaking"), averring that he has
reasonably incurred actual Expenses in defending an action, suit or proceeding
referred to in Section 2(a) or 2(b) or any claim referred to in Section 3, or
pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Unless at the time of the Indemnitee's act or
omission at issue, the Articles of Incorporation or Regulations of the Company
prohibit such advances by specific reference to ORC Section 1701.13(E)(5)(a) and
unless the only liability asserted against the Indemnitee in the subject action,
suit or proceeding is pursuant to ORC Section 1701.95, the Indemnitee shall be
eligible to execute Part A of the Undertaking by which he undertakes to (a)
repay such amount if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of
competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee's action or failure to act involved
an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the
Company or undertaken with reckless disregard for the best interests of the
Company and (b) reasonably cooperate with the Company concerning the action,
suit, proceeding or claim. In all cases, the Indemnitee shall be eligible to
execute Part B of the Undertaking by which he undertakes to repay such amount if
it ultimately is determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company under this Agreement or otherwise. In the event that the Indemnitee is
eligible to and does execute both Part A and Part B of the Undertaking, the
Expenses which are paid by the Company pursuant thereto shall be required to be
repaid by the Indemnitee only if he is required to do so under the terms of both
Part A and Part B of the Undertaking. Upon receipt of the Undertaking, the
Company shall thereafter promptly pay such Expenses of the Indemnitee as are
noticed to the Company in writing and in reasonable detail arising out of the
matter described in the Undertaking. No security shall be required in connection
with any Undertaking.

      5. LIMITATION ON INDEMNITY. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, the Company shall not be required hereby to indemnify the
Indemnitee with respect to any action, suit, or proceeding that was initiated by
the Indemnitee unless (i) such action, suit, or proceeding was initiated by the
Indemnitee to enforce any rights to indemnification arising hereunder and such
person shall have been formally adjudged to be entitled to indemnity by reason

                                                                        5

hereof, (ii) authorized by another agreement to which the Company is a party
whether heretofore or hereafter entered, or (iii) otherwise ordered by the court
in which the suit was brought.

      6. SUBROGATION; DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. (a) In the event of payment under
this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to
all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers
required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights,
including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company
effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

      (b) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any
payment in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee to the extent
Indemnitee has actually received payment (under any insurance policy, the
Company's Regulations or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable hereunder.

      7. RATIFICATION. The Company may, at its option, propose at any future
meeting of Shareholders that this Agreement be ratified by the Shareholders; if
the Shareholders vote not to ratify this Agreement, the Company shall have the
right to amend this Agreement without the consent of the Indemnitee; provided,
however, that no such amendment or termination shall deny or diminish the
Indemnitee's rights to indemnity pursuant hereto (or the procedures set forth
herein to obtain indemnification) as applied to any act or failure to act
occurring in whole or in part prior to the date of such amendment or termination
(whether or not a claim hereunder is made before or after such date).

      8. FEES AND EXPENSES OF ENFORCEMENT. It is the intent of the Company that
the Indemnitee not be required to incur the expenses associated with the
enforcement of his rights under this Agreement by litigation or other legal
action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the
benefits intended to be extended to the Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, if it
should appear to the Indemnitee that the Company has failed to comply with any
of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any
other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable,
or institutes any action, suit or proceeding to deny, or to recover from, the
Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder, the
Company irrevocably authorizes the Indemnitee from time to time to retain
counsel of his choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to
represent the Indemnitee in connection with the initiation or defense of any
litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any
director, officer, shareholder, or other person affiliated with the Company, in
any jurisdiction. Regardless of the outcome thereof, the Company shall pay and
be solely responsible for any and all costs, charges, and expenses including,
without limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys and others, reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8.

      9. MERGER OF CONSOLIDATION. In the event that the Company shall be a
constituent corporation in a consolidation, merger, or other reorganization, the
Company, if it shall not be the surviving, resulting, or acquiring corporation
therein, shall require as a condition thereto that the surviving, resulting, or
acquiring corporation agree to assume all of the obligations of the Company
hereunder and to indemnify the Indemnitee to the full extent provided herein.
Whether or

                                                                        6

not the Company is the resulting, surviving, or acquiring corporation in any
such transaction, the Indemnitee shall also stand in the same position under
this Agreement with respect to the resulting, surviving, or acquiring
corporation as he would have with respect to the Company if its separate
existence had continued.

      10. NONEXCLUSIVITY AND SEVERABILITY. (a) The rights to indemnification
provided by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other rights of
indemnification to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Articles, the
Regulations, the ORC or any other statute, any insurance policy, agreement, or
vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, as to any actions or failure to
act by the Indemnitee, and shall continue after he has ceased to be a Director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Company or other entity for which his service
gives rise to a right hereunder, and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs,
executors, and administrators. In the event of any payment under this Agreement,
the Company shall be subrogated to the extent thereof to all rights of recovery
previously vested in the Indemnitee, who shall execute all instruments and take
all other actions as shall be reasonably necessary for the Company to enforce
such right.

      (b) If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision
hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable, or
otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such
provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected, and the
provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal shall be
reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it
enforceable, valid, and legal.

      11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the
principles of conflict of laws thereof.

      12. MODIFICATION. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the
Indemnitee and the Company hereunder may be modified only by an instrument in
writing signed by both parties hereto.
