SECTION 1.6     Legend.

     
(a) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree
that each of the certificates representing the Securities shall

law:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED

(b) The requirement that the above

Rule 144 in compliance with the Securities Act or

transaction if the seller delivers to the Company an opinion of
its counsel, which counsel and opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or a “no-action” letter
from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
either case to the effect that such legend is no longer
necessary in order to protect the Company against a violation by
it of the Securities Act upon any sale or other disposition of
such shares without registration thereunder. Upon the
consummation of any event requiring the removal of a legend
hereunder, the Company, upon the surrender of certificates
containing such legend, shall, at its own expense, deliver to
the holder of any such shares as to which the requirement for
such legend shall have terminated, one or more new certificates
evidencing such shares not bearing such legend.

THE COMPANY

     
The Company hereby represents and warrants to
each Purchaser as follows as of the date hereof and as of the

and Good Standing; Power and Authority; Qualifications. The
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has
all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties, to carry on its business as presently

out the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

     
SECTION 2.2     Authorization
of the Agreement. Except for receipt of the Company
Stockholder Approval (as defined in Section 4.1(e)), the
execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement has been
duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of
the Company, including by a disinterested majority of the board
of directors of the Company in accordance with Section 144
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and the Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company, in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be

limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. The
Board of Directors of the Company has approved this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby so that
Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
(“DGCL”) shall not apply to any business
combination (as defined in Section 203 of DGCL) of the
Company as a result of the Purchase or any other transaction
contemplated hereby, and has recommended that the holders of
Common Stock of the Company approve the Purchase.

     
SECTION 2.3     No
Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of the Agreement and the consummation by the Company of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the
issuance, sale and delivery by the Company of the Securities
will not (a) violate any provision of law, statute,
rule or regulation (including stock exchange rules), or any
ruling, writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any
court, administrative agency or other governmental body
applicable to the Company or any of its properties or assets,
(b) conflict with or result in any breach of any of
the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute (with due
notice or lapse of time, or both) a default (or give rise to any
right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any
agreement of the Company, or result in the creation of any
mortgage, lien, security interest, loan, charge or encumbrance,
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company, or
(c) violate the Certificate of Incorporation or the
by-laws of the Company.

     
SECTION 2.4     Consents.

under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
as amended (the “HSR Act”), and a merger
notification filing with the Brazilian Conselho Administrativo
de Defesa Econômica (“CADE”)) with any

Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or
the issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities.

validly issued, and Mitsui Japan will acquire good and valid
title to the Mitsui Japan Securities and Mitsui USA will acquire
good and valid title to the Mitsui USA Securities, in each case
free and clear of any encumbrances and liens. The Securities
shall be fully paid and non-assessable and at the time of
purchase (assuming no additional issuances of capital stock
other than pursuant to this Agreement) shall represent
approximately 15.8% of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (assuming the exercise
of all options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Company).

     
SECTION 2.6     Disclosure;
Undisclosed Liabilities. This Agreement and each certificate
or other instrument, or document furnished by or on behalf of
the Company to the Purchasers and the filings and reports of the
Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) do not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements contained therein in light of the circumstances in
which they were made not misleading. The Company has no
liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether known,
unknown, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether
due or to become due, except (i) as disclosed in its
filings under the Exchange Act, and (ii) as could
not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the properties, business, results of operations or earnings of
the Company.

     
SECTION 2.7     Proxy
Statement. The proxy statement pursuant to which the Company
will solicit the Company Stockholder Approval (the
“Proxy Statement”) will comply in all material
respects with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder. The Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto), at the date it is mailed to stockholders
and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting (as defined

a material fact or omit to state a fact required to be stated

    Stockholders Agreement or this Agreement.
    

     
SECTION 6.3     Right
of Company to Receive Notice of Certain Purchaser
Acquisitions. If either of the Purchasers intend to acquire
additional securities of the Company or Beneficial Ownership of
securities of the Company such that, after giving effect to such

their Affiliates in the Company would be 20% or greater, the
Purchasers shall give prior written notice of such intention to

shall use its reasonable best efforts for a 90-day period to
cause each automobile manufacturer having a material contract
with the Company that by its terms may be terminated by the
manufacturer as a result of such acquisition by the Purchasers,
to waive such termination right. If the Company is unable to
cause the waiver of such a termination right by the end of the
90-day period, the Company shall so notify the Purchasers and
the Purchasers shall not make the proposed acquisition.

     
SECTION 6.4     Right

President or any other position having authority at least the
same as a Senior Vice President or equivalent position of the
Company. The officer designated by Purchasers may also be a
director of the Company. The officer designated by the
Purchasers shall receive compensation and benefits from the
Company no less favorable in the aggregate than those received
by other Senior Vice Presidents of the Company (or by persons
holding such other equivalent positions).

A-7

 

     
SECTION 6.5     Director
Nomination Procedures. Unless the Purchasers’
collective Beneficial Ownership falls below 2.5% of the Common
Stock (and remains below 2.5% for more than 180 days), the
Company agrees that it will not take any action (including by
amending its by-laws) without the prior approval of the
Purchasers that would restrict the ability of a shareholder to
propose, nominate or vote for any person as a director of the
Company in connection with any shareholder election of directors
of the Company provided, however, that nothing herein shall
affect the ability of the Company to restrict shareholder access
to the Company’s proxy materials.

     
SECTION 6.6     Observer.
Unless the Purchasers’ collective Beneficial Ownership
falls below 2.5% of the Common Stock (and remains below 2.5% for
more than 180 days), in the event a representative from the
Purchasers is not a member of the Board of Directors of the
Company, the Purchasers shall have the right to a non-voting
observer at all meetings of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Observer”). The Observer shall be
entitled to receive all materials and information distributed to
directors of the Company and shall have access to the
Company’s management and records as if such Observer were a
director.

     
SECTION 6.7     Confidentiality
Obligation.

     
(a) Purchasers shall treat as secret and
confidential any and all confidential information communicated
by the Company to the member of the Board of Directors who is a
representative of the Purchasers and shall therefore not
disclose or communicate such confidential information to any
person or entity, except to those employees and persons within
Purchasers and/or their Affiliates who need to have access to
such information for the purpose of monitoring Purchasers’
investment in the Company. Any such employee or person shall be
bound by this confidentiality obligation and shall be informed
of the confidential nature of the information.

     
(b) The obligations imposed above shall not
apply to information:

		
	 	     
    (i) which becomes publicly available;
    
	 
	 	     
    (ii) which Purchasers can establish was
    already in their possession in compliance with this or a
    relevant similar provision at the time such information was
    communicated to them;
    
	 
	 	     
    (iii) which is received from a third party
    without restriction and without breach of this Agreement;
    
	 
	 	     
    (iv) which Purchasers can establish has been
    independently developed by them and which otherwise complies
    with the terms hereof; or

    applicable law, legal process or, in connection with any
    judicial process, arbitration or other proceeding.

    (d) by the Purchasers or the Company,

    respect when made to the extent that such first party did not
    have actual knowledge of such breach as of the date of this
    Agreement, or (ii) upon a breach in any
    

A-8

Own any Restricted Securities or any shares of Common Stock of
the Company, as the case may be.

     
SECTION 7.3     Effects
of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 or

On February 16, 2004, the Company and Mitsui
entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) pursuant to which, Mitsui agreed to purchase at
Closing (as described therein) 4,050,000 shares of voting
common stock par value 0.0001 per share of the Company subject
to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

     
The shares of Common Stock to be purchased by
Mitsui pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, together with the
shares of Common Stock currently owned by Mitsui, represent
approximately 15.8% of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of the Company.

     
If Mitsui desires to sell shares of Common Stock,
it may be desirable to register such shares under the Securities
Act (as defined below).

     
As part of, and as consideration for,
Mitsui’s initial acquisition of shares of Common Stock from
the Company, the Company granted to Mitsui certain registration
and other rights with respect to its shares of Common Stock
pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement among the Company,
Mitsui Japan and Mitsui USA dated as of February 28, 2001,
which Registration Rights Agreement was amended and restated by
an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement among the
Company, Mitsui Japan and Mitsui USA dated as of
February 22, 2002 (“Existing Agreement”).

     
The parties wish to amend and restate in its
entirety the Existing Agreement to provide for certain matters
relating to the registration and other rights with respect to
Mitsui’s shares of Common Stock, on the terms and

2.     Registration
Under the Securities Act, etc.

     
2.1     Registration
on Request.

     
(a) Registration. Mitsui shall have
the right to require the Company to effect the registration
under the Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable
Securities by delivering a written request therefor to the
Company specifying the number of shares of Registrable
Securities and the intended method of distribution. The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) effect
such registration under the Securities Act (including by means
of a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act if so requested and if the Company is then
eligible to use such a registration) of the Registrable
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register
by Mitsui, for distribution in accordance with the intended
method of distribution set forth in the written request
delivered by Mitsui, such registration to be effected as
expeditiously as possible, and (ii) if requested by
Mitsui, obtain acceleration of the effective date of the
registration statement relating to such registration.

     
(b) Registration of Other Securities.
Whenever the Company shall effect a registration pursuant to
this Section 2.1, the Company may, upon notice to Mitsui,
include securities of the Company which are held by Persons who,
by virtue of agreements with the Company, are entitled to
include such securities, in each case, in any such registration
(the “Other Stockholders”). In the case of an
underwritten offering pursuant to this

B-2

 

Section 2.1, if the Other Stockholders
request such inclusion, the Company shall offer to include the
securities of such Other Stockholders in the underwriting and
may condition such offer on their acceptance of the further
applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Company and the
Other Stockholders shall enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the representative of the underwriter or
underwriters selected pursuant to Section 2.1(f).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if
the representative advises Mitsui in writing that marketing
factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be
underwritten, the securities of the Company held by the Other
Stockholders shall be excluded from such registration to the
extent required by such limitation; provided, however,
that if any of the Penske entities requests such inclusion, the
Penske entity shall have the right to include in the
registration an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the registration is
limited in accordance with such representative’s advice,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents
issued and owned by Mitsui and the denominator of which shall be
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock
equivalents issued and owned by Mitsui and Penske (assuming for
purposes of calculating such fraction the conversion of all
convertible securities and the exercise of all options held by
Mitsui and Penske).

     
(c) Registration Statement Form.
Registrations under this Section 2.1, shall be on such
appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be
selected by the Company and as shall be reasonably acceptable to
Mitsui.

     
(d) Expenses. The Company shall pay
all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration
pursuant to this Section 2.1.

     
(e) Effective Registration Statement.
A registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall not be
deemed to have been effected (including for purposes of
paragraph (h) of this Section 2.1
(i) unless a registration statement with respect
thereto has become effective and has been kept continuously
effective for a period of at least 180 days (or such
shorter period which shall terminate when all the Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold
pursuant thereto), (ii) if after it has become
effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop
order, injunction or other order or requirement of the
Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason
not attributable to Mitsui and has not thereafter become
effective, or (iii) if the conditions to closing
specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in
connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived.

     
(f) Underwritten Offering; Selection of
Underwriters.

		
	 	     
    (i) Mitsui shall, at its request, be
    entitled to an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities
    in connection with any registration pursuant to this
    Section 2.1; provided, however, that Mitsui shall
    not be entitled to request more than one (1) underwritten
    offering within any two (2) year period, it being
    understood that Mitsui’s right to request an underwritten
    offering at a later date pursuant to this Section 2.1(f)
    will not be affected if Mitsui chooses to not exercise such
    right during any such two (2) year period.
    
	 
	 	     
    (ii) The underwriters of each underwritten
    offering of the Registrable Securities to be so registered
    pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be selected by Mitsui
    and shall be subject to the approval of the Company, not to be
    unreasonably withheld or delayed.
    

     
(g) Right to Withdraw. If the
managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise
Mitsui that the Registrable Securities covered by the
registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a
price range acceptable to Mitsui, then Mitsui shall have the
right to notify the Company in writing that it has determined
that the registration statement with respect to the Registrable
Securities be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company
shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement with
respect to the Registrable Securities. In the event of such
abandonment or withdrawal, such request shall not be counted for
purposes of the requests for registration to which Mitsui is
entitled pursuant to this Section 2.1

     
(h) Limitations on Registration on
Request. Mitsui shall be entitled to require the Company to
effect, and the Company shall be required to effect, two
(2) registrations in the aggregate pursuant to this
Section 2.1, provided, however, that the aggregate offering
value of the shares to be registered pursuant to any

B-3

 

such registration shall be at least $10,000,000
unless Mitsui then owns shares with an aggregate value of less
than $10,000,000 (in which case such lesser number of shares may
be registered).

     
(i) Postponement. The Company shall
be entitled once in any six-month period to postpone for a
reasonable period of time (but not exceeding 90 days) (the
“Postponement Period”) the filing of any registration
statement required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to
this Section 2.1 if the Company determines, in its
reasonable judgment, that such registration and offering would
materially interfere with any material financing, corporate
reorganization or other material transaction involving the
Company or any subsidiary, or would require premature disclosure
thereof, and promptly gives Mitsui written notice of such
determination, containing a general statement of the reasons for
such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay.
If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a registration
statement, (i) the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to limit the delay to as short a period as is
practicable and (ii) Mitsui shall have the right to
withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice
to the Company at any time and, in the event of such withdrawal,
such request shall not be counted for purposes of the requests
for registration to which Mitsui is entitled pursuant to this
Section 2.1.

     
2.2 Incidental Registration.

     
(a) Right to Include Registrable
Securities. If the Company at any time proposes to register
any of its securities under the Securities Act by registration
on Form S-1, S-2 or S-3 or any successor or similar form(s)
(except for registration on any such form or similar form(s)
solely for registration of securities in connection with an
employee benefit plan, dividend reinvestment plan or merger or
consolidation), whether or not for sale for its own account, the
Company will each such time give prompt written notice to Mitsui
of its intention to do so and of Mitsui’s rights under this
Section 2.2. Upon the written request of Mitsui (which request
shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities
intended to be disposed of by Mitsui), made as promptly as
practicable and in any event within 30 days after the
receipt of any such notice (15 days if the Company states
in such written notice or gives telephonic notice to Mitsui,
with written confirmation to follow promptly thereafter, stating
that (i) such registration will be on Form S-3 and
(ii) such shorter period of time is required because of a
planned filing date), the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to include in such registration under the Securities Act
all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so
requested to register by Mitsui. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may in its
discretion withdraw any registration commenced pursuant to this
Section 2.2 without liability to the holders of Registrable
Securities. No registration effected under this Section 2.2
shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any
registration under Section 2.1 The Company will pay all
Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of
Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this
Section 2.2.

     
(b) Right to Withdraw. Mitsui shall
have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of any of
its Registrable Securities in any registration statement
pursuant to this Section 2.2 at any time prior to the
execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto by
giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw.

     
(c) Priority in Incidental
Registrations. If the managing underwriter of any
underwritten offering shall inform the Company by letter of its
belief that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration, when added to the number of other
securities to be offered in such registration, would materially
adversely affect such offering, then the Company shall include
in such registration, to the extent of the number which the
Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of)
such offering without so materially adversely affecting such
offering (the “Section 2.2 Sale Amount”),
(i) all of the securities proposed by the Company to be
sold for its own account; (ii) thereafter, to the extent
the Section 2.2 Sale Amount is not exceeded, any other
securities of the Company requested to be included in such
registration by Mitsui, Penske and their respective Affiliates,
with the amount of securities of Mitsui, Penske and their
respective Affiliates to be included based on the pro rata
amount of shares of Common Stock held, or obtainable by exercise
or conversion of other securities of the Company, by Mitsui, and
Penske and their respective Affiliates; and
(iii) thereafter, to the extent the Section 2.2 Sale
Amount is not exceeded, any other holder of Company securities
entitled to register such securities.

B-4

 

     
(d) Plan of Distribution. Any
participation by holders of Registrable Securities in a
registration by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.2
shall be in accordance with the Company’s plan of
distribution.

     
(e) The Company represents and warrants
that, as of the date hereof, no Person has rights to require the
Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of
Common Stock, except as disclosed prior to the date hereof in
the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

     
(f) After the date hereof, the Company shall
not grant to any Person, rights to require the Company to effect
a registration under the Securities Act of Common Stock that are
more favorable to such Person than the rights granted to Mitsui
hereunder unless the Company simultaneously enters into an
amendment of this Agreement pursuant to which Mitsui will be
granted rights to require the Company to effect a registration
under the Securities Act of Common Stock that are equal to the
rights granted to such Person.

     
(g) After the date hereof, the Company shall
not grant to any Person rights to include Common Stock in a
registration under the Securities Act of Common Stock that are
more favorable to such Person than the rights granted to Mitsui
hereunder unless the Company simultaneously enters into an
amendment of this Agreement pursuant to which Mitsui will be
granted rights to include Common Stock in a registration under
the Securities Act that are equal to the rights provided to such
Person.

     
2.3 Registration Procedures. If and
whenever the Company is required to use its reasonable best
efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities
under the Securities Act as provided in Sections 2.1 and
2.2 hereof, the Company shall unless and until either Mitsui has
withdrawn its request or is no longer entitled to include in
such registration, all or any portion of the Registrable
Securities, as expeditiously as possible:

		
	 	     
    (a) prepare and file with the Commission as
    soon as practicable the requisite registration statement to
    effect such registration (and shall include all financial
    statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith) and
    thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
    registration statement to become effective; provided,
    however, that before filing such registration statement
    (including all exhibits) or any amendment or supplement thereto
    or comparable statements under securities or blue sky laws of
    any jurisdiction, the Company shall as promptly as practicable
    furnish such documents to Mitsui and each underwriter, if any,
    participating in the offering of the Registrable Securities and
    their respective counsel, which documents will be subject to the
    reasonable review and comments of Mitsui, each underwriter and
    their respective counsel; and provided, further, however,
    that the Company may discontinue any registration of its
    securities pursuant to Section 2.2 or which are not Registrable
    Securities at any time prior to the effective date of the
    registration statement relating thereto;
    
	 
	 	     
    (b) notify Mitsui of the Commission’s
    requests for amending or supplementing the registration
    statement and the prospectus, and prepare and file with the
    Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration
    statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may
    be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and
    to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
    to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
    registration statement for such period as shall be required for
    the disposition of all of such Registrable Securities in
    accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof;
    provided, that except with respect to any such
    registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the
    Securities Act, such period need not exceed 180 days;
    
	 
	 	     
    (c) furnish, without charge, to Mitsui and
    each underwriter such number of conformed copies of such
    registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement
    thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of
    copies of the prospectus contained in such registration
    statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary
    prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424
    under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of
    the Securities Act, and such other documents, as Mitsui and such
    underwriters may reasonably request;
    
	 
	 	     
    (d) use its reasonable best efforts
    (i) to register or qualify all Registrable Securities and
    other securities covered by such registration statement under
    such securities or blue sky laws of such States of the United
    States of America where an exemption is not available and as
    Mitsui or any managing underwriter shall reasonably request,
    (ii) to keep such registration or qualification in effect
    for so long as such registration statement remains in effect,
    and (iii) to take any other action which may be reasonably
    

B-5

 

		
	 	
    necessary or advisable to enable Mitsui to
    consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
    securities to be sold by Mitsui, except that the Company shall
    not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do
    business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it
    would not but for the requirements of this subsection
    (d) be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to
    general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
    
	 
	 	     
    (e) furnish to Mitsui and each underwriter,
    if any, participating in the offering of the securities covered
    by such registration statement, a signed counterpart of
    (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, and (ii) a
    “comfort” letter signed by the independent public
    accountants who have certified the Company’s or any other
    entity’s financial statements included or incorporated by
    reference in such registration statement, covering substantially
    the same matters with respect to such registration statement
    (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of the
    accountants’ comfort letter, with respect to events
    subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are
    customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in
    accountants’ comfort letters delivered to the underwriters
    in underwritten public offerings of securities (and dated the
    dates such opinions and comfort letters are customarily dated)
    and, in the case of the legal opinion, such other legal matters,
    and, in the case of the accountants’ comfort letter, such
    other financial matters, as the underwriters, may reasonably
    request;
    
	 
	 	     
    (f) promptly notify Mitsui and each managing
    underwriter, if any, participating in the offering of the
    securities covered by such registration statement (i) when
    such registration statement, any pre-effective amendment, the
    prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or
    post-effective amendment to such registration statement has been
    filed, and, with respect to such registration statement or any
    post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective;
    (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or
    supplements to such registration statement or the prospectus
    related thereto or for additional information; (iii) of the
    issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
    effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation
    of any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by
    the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
    of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for
    sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction
    or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose;
    (v) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
    required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon
    discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result
    of which, the prospectus included in such registration
    statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
    material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
    stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
    misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they
    were made, and in the case of this clause (v), at the request of
    Mitsui promptly prepare and furnish to Mitsui and each managing
    underwriter, if any, participating in the offering of the
    Registrable Securities, a reasonable number of copies of a
    supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be
    necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of
    such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue
    statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
    required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
    statements therein not misleading in the light of the
    circumstances under which they were made;
    
	 
	 	     
    (g) otherwise comply with all applicable
    rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to
    its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an
    earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months
    beginning with the first full calendar month after the effective
    date of such registration statement, which earnings statement
    shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
    Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder, and
    promptly furnish to Mitsui a copy of any amendment or supplement
    to such registration statement or prospectus;
    
	 
	 	     
    (h) provide and cause to be maintained a
    transfer agent and registrar (which, in each case, may be the
    Company) for all Registrable Securities covered by such
    registration statement from and after a date not later than the
    effective date of such registration;
    
	 
	 	     
    (i) (i) use its reasonable best efforts
    to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registration
    statement to be listed on the principal securities exchange on
    which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed
    (if any), if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then
    permitted under the
    

B-6

 

		
	 	
    rules of such exchange, or (ii) if no
    similar securities are then so listed, use its reasonable best
    efforts to (x) cause all such Registrable Securities to be
    listed on a national securities exchange or (y) failing
    that, secure designation of all such Registrable Securities as a
    NASDAQ “national market system security” within the
    meaning of Rule 11Aa2-1 of the Commission or
    (z) failing that, to secure NASDAQ authorization for such
    shares and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to
    arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with
    respect to such shares with the National Association of
    Securities Dealers, Inc.;
    
	 
	 	     
    (j) deliver promptly to counsel to Mitsui
    and each underwriter, if any, participating in the offering of
    the Registrable Securities, copies of all correspondence between
    the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors;
    
	 
	 	     
    (k) use its reasonable best efforts to
    obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness
    of the registration statement;
    
	 
	 	     
    (l) provide a CUSIP number for all
    Registrable Securities, no later than the effective date of the
    registration statement; and
    
	 
	 	     
    (m) make available its employees and
    personnel (including Company management) and otherwise provide
    reasonable assistance to the underwriters (taking into account
    the needs of the Company’s business) in their marketing of
    Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, the
    reasonable participation and cooperation of such employees and
    personnel (including Company management) in any “road
    show” or similar event undertaken by Mitsui or the
    underwriters; provided, however that the Company shall comply
    with the terms of this clause (m) only two times,
    irrespective of the terms of paragraph (g) of
    Section 2.1.
    

     
The Company may require Mitsui to furnish the
Company such information regarding Mitsui and the distribution
of the Registrable Securities as the Company may need for the
purpose of effecting a registration of Common Stock, including
Registrable Securities, under the Securities Act. The Company
shall be excused from any obligation to Mitsui hereunder to the
extent that Mitsui’s failure to deliver such information
has impaired the Company’s ability to perform its
obligations hereunder and comply with applicable laws and
regulations under the Securities Act, and for so long as Mitsui
has not delivered such information to the extent required by
applicable law.

     
Mitsui agrees that upon receipt of any notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind
described in paragraph (f)(iii), (iv) or (v) of this
Section 2.3, Mitsui will, to the extent appropriate,
discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the registration statement relating to such Registrable
Securities until, in the case of paragraphs (f)(iii) and
(f)(iv) of this Section 2.3, such stop order, suspension,
or the proceeding has been terminated, and, in the case of
paragraph (f)(v) of this Section 2.3, its receipt of
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by paragraph (f)(v) of this Section 2.3
and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company
(at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent
file copies, then in its possession, of the prospectus relating
to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of
such notice. If the disposition by Mitsui of its securities is
discontinued pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company
shall extend the period of effectiveness of the registration
statement required pursuant to Section 2.3(b) by the number
of days during the period from and including the date of the
giving of notice to and including the date when Mitsui shall
have received copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by paragraph (f)(v) of this Section 2.3.

     
2.4 Underwritten Offerings.

     
(a) Requested Underwritten Offerings.
If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering
requested by Mitsui pursuant to a registration under
Section 2.1, the Company shall enter into a customary
underwriting agreement (in the form of underwriting agreement
used at such time by the managing underwriter(s)) with a
managing underwriter or underwriters selected pursuant to
Section 2.1(f) which shall contain such terms as are
generally prevailing in agreements of the managing
underwriter(s), including, without limitation, their customary
provisions relating to indemnification and contribution (the
“Customary Terms”). Mitsui shall be party to
such underwriting agreement and may, at its option, require that
any or all

B-7

 

of the representations and warranties by, and the
other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the
benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the
benefit of Mitsui, and that any or all of the conditions
precedent to the obligations of such underwriters relating to
the Company under such underwriting agreement be conditions
precedent to the obligations of Mitsui. Mitsui shall not be
required to make any representations or warranties to or
agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than
representations, warranties or agreements regarding Mitsui,
Mitsui’s ownership of and title to the Registrable
Securities, and Mitsui’s intended methods of distribution
and other representations that constitute Customary Terms, and
any liability of Mitsui to any underwriter or other person under
such underwriting agreement shall be several and not joint, and
shall be limited to liability arising from breach of their
respective representations and warranties and shall be limited
to an amount equal to the proceeds (net of expenses and
underwriting discounts and commissions) that Mitsui derives from
such registration.

     
(b) Incidental Underwritten Offering.
In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof, if the Company shall have determined to enter into any
underwriting agreements in connection therewith, all of the
Registrable Securities to be included in such registration shall
be subject to such underwriting agreements. Mitsui shall not be
required to make any representations or warranties to or
agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than
representations, warranties or agreements regarding Mitsui,
Mitsui’s ownership of and title to the Registrable
Securities, and Mitsui’s intended methods of distribution
and other representations that constitute Customary Terms, and
any liability of Mitsui to any underwriter or other person under
such underwriting agreement shall be several and not joint, and
shall be limited to liability arising from breach of their
respective representations and warranties and shall be limited
to an amount equal to the proceeds (net of expenses and
underwriting discounts and commissions) that Mitsui derives from
such registration.

     
2.5 Preparation; Reasonable
Investigation. In connection with the preparation and filing
of each registration statement under the Securities Act pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company will give Mitsui, Mitsui’s
underwriters, if any, and Mitsui’s counsel, accountants and
other representatives and agents the opportunity to participate
in the preparation of such registration statement, each
prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and
each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and give each of
them such reasonable access to its books and records and such
reasonable opportunities to discuss the business of the Company
with its officers and employees and the independent public
accountants who have certified its financial statements, and
supply all other information reasonably requested by each of
them, as shall be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of
Mitsui, and such underwriters’ respective counsel, to
conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the
Securities Act.

     
2.6 Indemnification.

     
(a) Indemnification by the Company.
The Company agrees that in the event of any registration of any
securities of the Company under the Securities Act, the Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless Mitsui, its respective
directors, officers, members, partners, agents and affiliates
and each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the
offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if
any, who controls Mitsui or any such underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities, joint or several, to which Mitsui or
any such director, officer, member, partner, agent or affiliate
or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect
thereof), arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any registration statement under which such
securities were registered under the Securities Act, any
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto or
(ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which
they were made not misleading, and the Company shall reimburse
Mitsui and each such director, officer, member, partner, agent
or affiliate, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal
or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability,
action or proceeding; provided that the Company shall not
be liable in any such case to Mitsui or any such director,
officer, member, partner, agent, affiliate, or controlling
person to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or
expense arises out of or is based

B-8

 

upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of Mitsui, specifically
stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement
with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to
the benefit of any person from whom the person asserting any
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the
“Claimant”) purchased securities, or any person
controlling such person, if a copy of the prospectus (as then
amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any
amendment or supplement thereto) was not sent or given by or on
behalf of such person to such Claimant, if required by law to
have been so delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation
of the sale of the securities sold to such Claimant, and if the
prospectus (as so amended and supplemented) would have cured the
defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Mitsui
or any such director, officer, member, partner, agent,
affiliate, underwriter or controlling Person and shall survive
the transfer of such securities by Mitsui.

     
(b) Indemnification by Mitsui. As a
condition to including any Registrable Securities in any
registration statement, Mitsui shall indemnify and hold harmless
(in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in
paragraph (a) of this Section 2.6) the Company, and
each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and
each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or
alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such
registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, but only to the extent such
statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of Mitsui
specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of
such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement;
provided, however, that the liability of such
indemnifying party under this Section 2.6(b) shall be
limited to the amount of proceeds (net of expenses and
underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such
indemnifying party in the offering giving rise to such
liability. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and
shall survive the transfer of such securities by Mitsui.

     
(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim
referred to in the preceding subsections of this
Section 2.6, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party,
give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such
action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure
of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall
not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the
preceding subsections of this Section 2.4, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by
such failure to give notice, and shall not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to the
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.6. In
case any such action or proceeding is brought against an
indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, unless in the opinion of outside
counsel to the indemnified party a conflict of interest between
such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect
of such claim, to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that
it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party; provided, however, that if the
defendants in any such action or proceeding include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and if in the
opinion of outside counsel to the indemnified party there may be
legal defenses available to such indemnified party and/or other
indemnified parties which are in conflict with or in addition to
those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party
or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to
defend such action or proceeding on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties, provided, however, that the indemnifying party
shall be obligated to pay for only one counsel and one local
counsel for all indemnified parties. After notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so
to assume the defense thereof and approval by the indemnified
party of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the
defense thereof (unless the first proviso in the preceding
sentence shall be applicable). No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement

B-9

 

of any action or proceeding effected without its
written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the
consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

     
(d) Contribution. If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 shall for
any reason be held by a court to be unavailable to an
indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) hereof
in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any
action in respect thereof, then, in lieu of the amount paid or
payable under subsection (a) or (b) hereof, the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or
(b) hereof shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating the same),
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand, and
the indemnified party on the other, which resulted in such loss,
claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, with
respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such
loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as shall be
appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault but also the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party from the offering of the securities covered by
such registration statement as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
Section 2.6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation which does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to in the
preceding sentence of this Section 2.6(d). No Person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. In addition, no Person shall be
obligated to contribute hereunder any amounts in payment for any
settlement of any action or claim effected without such
Person’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection
(d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the
Company) shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the proceeds (net of expenses and underwriting discounts and
commissions) received by such party from the sale of the
Registrable Securities in the offering to which the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties relate.

     
(e) Other Indemnification.
Indemnification and contribution similar to that specified
in the preceding subsections of this Section 2.6 (with
appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and
Mitsui with respect to any required registration or other
qualification of securities under any federal, state or blue sky
law or regulation of any governmental authority other than the
Securities Act. The indemnification agreements contained in this
Section 2.6 shall be in addition to any other rights to
indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may
have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the
transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by Mitsui.

     
(f) Indemnification Payments. The
indemnification and contribution required by this
Section 2.6 shall be made by periodic payments of the
amount thereof during the course of the investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage
or liability is incurred.

     
2.7     Unlegended
Certificates. In connection with the offering of any
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this
Section 2, the Company shall promptly after the sale of
such Registrable Securities (i) facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery to Mitsui and the underwriters, if any,
participating in such offering, of unlegended certificates
representing ownership of such Registrable Securities being sold
in such denominations and registered in such names as requested
by Mitsui or such underwriters, and (ii) instruct any
transfer agent and registrar of such Registrable Securities to
release any stop transfer orders with respect to any such
Registrable Securities.

     
2.8     No Required
Sale. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create an
independent obligation on the part of Mitsui to sell any
Registrable Securities pursuant to any effective registration
statement.

B-10

 

     
3.     Rule 144.
The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to
enable Mitsui to sell its Common Stock without registration
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or
(ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by
the Commission including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, filing on a timely basis all reports required to be
filed by the Exchange Act. Upon the request of Mitsui, the
Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such requirements.

     
4.     Amendments and
Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified or
supplemented only by written agreement of the parties.

     
5.     Adjustments.
In the event of any change in the capitalization of the
Company as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse
split, combination, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise, the provisions of this Agreement shall be
appropriately adjusted.

     
6.     Notices.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices,
requests, consents and other communications hereunder to any
party shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written
instrument delivered in person or by telecopy, nationally
recognized overnight courier or first class registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,

other address as may hereafter be designated in writing by such

                  (f)      Rollover Account - funds transferred from another

         1.03     "AFFILIATED EMPLOYER" means the Employer and any employer
which is a member of the same controlled group of corporations within the
meaning of section 414(b) of the Code or which is a trade or business (whether

(within the meaning of section 414(m) of the Code) with the Employer, or which

elective contributions under a cafeteria plan described in section 125 of the
Code, elective contributions to any plan qualified under section 401(k), 408(k),
or 403(b) of the Code, and, effective January 1, 1998, elective contributions

$200,000.00 (as adjusted by the Secretary of Treasury for increases in the cost
of living) shall be disregarded. If the Plan Year is ever less than twelve
months, the $200,000.00 limitation (as adjusted by the Secretary of Treasury for

and the denominator of which is 12.

former Member's death, the "Applicable Distribution Period" is the Member's or
former Member's life expectancy determined using the Uniform Lifetime Table in
Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-9 for his age as of his birthday in the relevant
Distribution Calendar Year. However, if the Member's or former Member's sole
Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary for the entire Distribution Calendar Year is his
Spouse, for distributions during his lifetime, his "Applicable Distribution
Period" shall not be less than the joint life expectancy of him and his Spouse
using his and his Spouse's attained ages as of his and his Spouse's birthdays in
the Distribution Calendar Year.

                  (b)      DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER THE MEMBER'S OR FORMER MEMBER'S
DEATH. Effective for Distribution Calendar Years commencing on or after January,
1, 2003, if a Member or former Member dies on or after his Required Beginning
Date, the "Applicable Distribution Period" for Distribution Calendar Years after
the Distribution Calendar Year containing the Member's or former Member's date
of death is the longer of the remaining life expectancy of his Section 401(a)(9)
Beneficiary (if any) determined in accordance with the Final Section 401(a)(9)
Regulations (calculated by using the age of the Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary in
the year following the year of the former Member's death, reduced by one for
each subsequent year) or the remaining life expectancy of the former Member
determined in accordance with the Final Section 401(a)(9) Regulations
(calculated by using the age of the former Member in the year of death, reduced
by one for each subsequent year). However, if the former Member's surviving
Spouse is the former Member's sole Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary, the remaining
life expectancy of the surviving Spouse is calculated for each Distribution
Calendar Year after the

                                      I-2
<PAGE>

year of the former Member's death using the surviving Spouse's age as the
surviving Spouse's birthday in that year; and for Distribution Calendar Years
after the year of the surviving Spouse's death, the remaining life expectancy of
the surviving Spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving Spouse as of
the surviving Spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the surviving Spouse's
death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

                  1.07     "BENEFICIARY" OR "BENEFICIARIES" means the person or

compensation under a plan meeting the requirements of Section 423 of the Code,
welfare benefits (such as severance pay). Considered Compensation in excess of
$200,000.00 (as adjusted by the Secretary of Treasury for increases in the cost
of living) shall be disregarded. If the Plan Year is ever less than twelve
months, the $200,000.00 limitation (as adjusted by the Secretary of Treasury for
increases in the cost of living) will be prorated by multiplying the limitation
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the Plan Year,
and the denominator of which is 12.

         1.13     "CONTRIBUTION" means the total amount of contributions made

However, an Employee who is included in a unit of Employees covered by a
collective bargaining agreement between the Employees' representative and the

if there has been good faith bargaining between the Employer and the Employees'
representative pertaining to retirement benefits and the agreement does not
require the Employer to include such Employees in the Plan. In addition, a
Leased Employee shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan unless the
Plan's qualified status is dependent upon coverage of the Leased Employee. An

reclassification). An Employee who is a nonresident alien (within the meaning of
section 7701(b) of the Code) and who does receive earned income (within the

deferred compensation or retirement benefits under any agreement or program to
which an Affiliated Employer other than an Employer is a party. Finally, an
Employee who is employed outside the United States is not eligible to
participate in the Plan unless the Committee elects to permit him to participate
in the Plan.

         2.02     EARLY PARTICIPATION FOR ROLLOVER PURPOSES. An Employee who
satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in Section 2.01 other than the
service requirement shall be eligible to make Rollover Contributions to the Plan
on the date on which he completes an Hour of Service.

         2.03     ELIGIBILITY UPON REEMPLOYMENT. If an Employee incurs a
Separation From Service with the Employer prior to the date he initially begins
participating in the Plan, he shall be eligible to begin participation in the
Plan on the later of the date he would have become a Member if he did not incur
a Separation From Service or the date on which he performs an Hour of Service
after he incurs a Separation from Service. Subject to Section 2.04, once an
Employee becomes a Member, his eligibility to participate in the Plan shall

of an Affiliated Employer that has not adopted the Plan, (c) becomes included in
a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement that does not
require coverage of those employees under the Plan, (d) becomes a Leased
Employee, or (e) becomes included in another classification of Employees who,
under the terms of the Plan, are not eligible to participate. Under these
circumstances, the Member's Account becomes frozen; he cannot contribute to the
Plan or share in the allocation of any Contributions for the frozen period.
However, his Accounts shall continue to share in any Plan income allocable to
his Accounts during the frozen period of time.

         2.05     RECOMMENCEMENT OF PARTICIPATION. A former Member will again
become a Member on the day on which he again becomes included in a

                                  CONTRIBUTIONS

         3.01     SALARY DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS. The Employer shall make a
Salary Deferral Contribution in an amount equal to the amount by which its
Members' Considered Compensation was reduced as a result of salary deferral
agreements (excluding amounts of Considered Compensation deferred pursuant to
Section 3.02 that are properly characterized as Catch-up Salary Deferral
Contributions). Any such salary deferral agreement shall be an agreement in a
form satisfactory to the Committee to prospectively receive Considered
Compensation from the Employer in a reduced amount and to have the Employer
contribute an amount equal to the amount of the reduction to the Trust on
account of the Member. A Member's right to benefits derived from Salary Deferral
Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf shall be nonforfeitable. Any such
salary deferral agreement shall be revocable in accordance with its terms,
provided that no revocation shall be retroactive or permit payment to the Member
of the amount required to be contributed to the Trust. A Member shall be
entitled to prospectively modify his salary deferral agreement at least once a
year. A Member shall be entitled to revoke, on a prospective basis, his salary
deferral agreement at any time.

         The maximum amount a Member may elect to reduce his Considered
Compensation under his salary deferral agreement shall be determined by the
Committee, in its sole discretion from time to time but may not, in any event,
exceed 75 percent of his Considered Compensation. In addition, the election to
have Salary Deferral Contributions made, the ability to change the percentage of
Salary Deferral Contributions, the right to suspend Salary Deferral
Contributions, and the manner of commencing new Salary Deferral Contributions
shall be permitted under any uniform method determined by the Committee from
time to time.

         3.02     CATCH-UP SALARY DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS. The Employer shall
make a Catch-up Salary Deferral Contribution in an amount equal to the amounts
by which its Catch-up Eligible Members' Considered Compensation was reduced as a
result of salary deferral agreements authorizing Catch-up Salary Deferral
Contributions (to the extent that their deferrals are properly characterized as
Catch-up Salary Deferral Contributions). Any such salary deferral agreement
shall be an agreement in a form satisfactory to the Committee to prospectively
receive Considered Compensation from the Employer in a reduced amount and to
have the Employer contribute an amount equal to the amount of the reduction to
the Trust on behalf of the Catch-up Eligible Member. Further, any such salary
deferral agreement shall be revocable in accordance with its terms, provided
that no revocation shall be retroactive or permit payment to the Catch-up
Eligible Member of the amount required to be contributed to the Trust. A
Catch-up Eligible Member's right to benefits derived from Catch-up Salary
Deferral Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf shall be nonforfeitable.

         Catch-up Salary Deferral Contributions on behalf of a Catch-up Eligible
Member shall be permitted to the extent that the Catch-up Salary Deferral
Contributions do not exceed the lesser of (a) the "applicable dollar catch-up
limit" under section 414(v) of the Code for the Plan Year (as adjusted from time
to time by the Secretary of Treasury), or (b) an amount equal to the Catch-up
Eligible Member's Annual Compensation for the Plan Year minus the Catch-up
Eligible Member's Salary Deferral Contributions for the Plan Year.

                                     III-1
<PAGE>

         A final determination as to whether amounts deferred under the Plan by
a Catch-up Eligible Member are properly characterized as Salary Deferral
Contributions or Catch-up Salary Deferral Contributions for a Plan Year shall be
made as of the end of the Plan Year. To the extent that amounts deferred under
the Plan on a pre-tax basis at the election of a Catch-up Eligible Member exceed
the least of (a) the lowest statutory limit on Salary Deferral Contributions
(including limits imposed under sections 401(a)(30) and 415 of the Code), (b)
the maximum limitation on Salary Deferral Contributions, if any, imposed by the
Committee pursuant to Section 3.01, or (c) the highest amount of Salary Deferral
Contributions on behalf of the Catch-up Eligible Member that may be retained in
the Plan under the rules of section 401(k)(8)(C) of the Code, the amounts
deferred shall be characterized as Catch-up Salary Deferral Contributions. Any
amounts deferred under the Plan on a pre-tax basis at the election of a Catch-up
Eligible Member that are not properly characterized as Catch-up Salary Deferral
Contributions pursuant to the rules of the preceding sentence shall be
characterized as Salary Deferral Contributions for all purposes under the Plan.

         3.03     MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Employer shall make a Matching
Contribution in such amount, and for such period, if any, as shall be determined
by the Board. A Member's right to benefits derived from Matching Contributions
made to the Plan on his behalf shall be nonforfeitable.

         3.04     SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Employer may contribute for a
Plan Year a Supplemental Contribution to be allocated among Members in such
amount, if any, as shall be determined by the Employer. The rate of the
Supplemental Contribution need not be uniform among all divisions of the
Employer. A Member's right to benefits derived from Supplemental Contributions
made to the Plan on his behalf shall be nonforfeitable.

         3.05     ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS AND PLAN-TO-PLAN TRANSFERS. The
Committee may permit Rollover Contributions by Members and/or direct transfers
to or from another qualified plan on behalf of Members from time to time. If
Rollover Contributions and/or direct transfers to or from another qualified plan
are permitted, the opportunity to make those contributions and/or direct
transfers must be made available to Members on a nondiscriminatory basis. For
this purpose only, all Employees who are included in a classification of
Employees who are eligible to participate in the Plan shall be considered to be
Members of the Plan even though they may not have met the Active Service
requirements for eligibility. However, they shall not be entitled to elect to
have Salary Deferral Contributions made or to share in Employer Contributions or
forfeitures unless and until they have met the requirements for eligibility,
contributions and allocations. A Rollover Contribution shall not be accepted
unless it is directly rolled over to the Plan in a rollover described in section
401(a)(31) of the Code. A Member shall not be permitted to make a Rollover
Contribution if the property he intends to contribute is for any reason
unacceptable to the Trustee. A Member's right to benefits attributable to his
Rollover Contributions made to the Plan shall be nonforfeitable.

         3.06     QNECS - EXTRAORDINARY EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Any Employer may
make a QNEC in such amount, if any, as shall be determined by it. A Member's
right to benefits derived from QNECs made to the Plan on his behalf shall be
nonforfeitable. In no event will QNECs be distributed before Salary Deferral
Contributions may be distributed.

                                     III-2
<PAGE>

         3.07     RESTORATIVE PAYMENTS. If due to an oversight or inadvertent
error an Employer fails to make a Contribution to the Plan on behalf of an
Employee, as soon as administratively practicable following the discovery of the
error, the Employer shall make a restorative payment to the Plan on behalf of
the Employee in an amount equal to the amount of required Contributions the
Employer should have made to the Plan on behalf of the Employee plus interest
thereon (both determined in a manner that is consistent with then current
guidance from the Department of Treasury concerning such restorative payments)
after the application of forfeitures available for such restoration.

         3.08     NONDEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS NOT REQUIRED. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, no Employer shall be required to make any
contribution that would be a "nondeductible contribution" within the meaning of
section 4972 of the Code.

         3.09     FORM OF PAYMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Contributions may be paid to
the Trustee either in cash or in qualifying employer securities (as such term is
defined in section 407(d) of ERISA) or any combination thereof, provided that
payment may not be made in any form constituting a prohibited transaction under
section 4975 of the Code or section 406 of ERISA.

         3.10     DEADLINE FOR PAYMENT OF EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Salary
Deferral Contributions and Matching Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee
in installments. The installment for each payroll period shall be paid as soon
as administratively feasible. The Matching Contributions, the Supplemental
Contributions and QNECs for a Plan Year shall be paid to the Trustee in one or
more installments, as the Employer may from time to time determine; provided,
however, that such contributions may not be paid later than the time prescribed
by law (including extensions thereof) for filing the Employer's income tax
return for its taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year.

         3.11     RETURN OF CONTRIBUTIONS FOR MISTAKE, DISQUALIFICATION OR
DISALLOWANCE OF DEDUCTION. Subject to the limitations of section 415 of the
Code, the assets of the Trust shall not revert to any Employer or be used for
any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Members, former Members, and
their Beneficiaries and the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan
except:

                  (a)      any Employer Contribution made because of a mistake
of fact may be repaid to the Employer within one year after the payment of the
Contribution; and

                  (b)      all Employer Contributions are conditioned upon their
deductibility under section 404 of the Code; therefore, to the extent the
deduction is disallowed, the Contributions may be repaid to the Employer within
one year after the disallowance.

         The Employer has the exclusive right to determine if a Contribution or
any part of it is to be repaid or is to remain as a part of the Trust except
that the amount to be repaid is limited, if the Contribution is made by mistake
of fact or if the deduction for the Contribution is disallowed, to the excess of
the amount contributed over the amount that would have been contributed had
there been no mistake or over the amount disallowed. Earnings which are
attributable to any excess contribution cannot be repaid. Losses attributable to
an excess contribution must reduce the amount that may be repaid. All repayments
of Contributions made due to a mistake of fact or

                                     III-3
<PAGE>

with respect to which a deduction is disallowed are limited so that the balance
in a Member's or former Member's Account cannot be reduced to less than the
balance that would have been in the Member's or former Member's Account had the
mistaken amount or the amount disallowed never been contributed.

investment company shares, the Trustee shall rely exclusively on information
provided to it by the investment adviser to such funds.

         4.08     NO RIGHTS UNLESS OTHERWISE PRESCRIBED. No allocations,
adjustments, credits, or transfers shall ever vest in any Member or former
Member any right, title, or interest in the Trust except at the times and upon
the terms and conditions herein set forth.

                                    BENEFITS

         5.01     RETIREMENT BENEFIT. Upon his Separation From Service, a Member
or former Member is entitled to receive 100 percent of all of his Account
balances.

         5.02     DEATH BENEFIT. If a Member or former Member dies, the death
benefit payable to his Beneficiary shall be 100 percent of the remaining amount
of his Account balances (reduced by any security interest held by the Plan by
reason of a loan outstanding to the Member).

         5.03     DISTRIBUTION METHODS AVAILABLE. The only distribution method
available under the Plan is a lump sum payment.

         5.04     LUMP SUM PAYMENT OF SMALL AMOUNTS UPON SEPARATION FROM
SERVICE. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan other than Section 5.09
and the provisions of the following paragraph of this Section, effective August
1, 2000, each Member or former Member (a) who does not die before the Annuity
Starting Date and (b) whose Account balances at the time of a distribution to
him on account of his Separation From Service are, in the aggregate, less than
or equal to $5,000.00 ($3,500 prior to January 1, 1998), shall be paid in the
form of a single sum payment. Subject to Section 5.09, effective August 1, 2000,
if a Member or former Member dies before he has received any payment from the
Plan, and the total of his Account balances at the time of the distribution is
less than or equal to $5,000.00 ($3,500 prior to January 1, 1998), his
Beneficiary shall be paid in the form of a lump sum payment. For this purpose,
for distributions prior to October 18, 2000, if the aggregate value of a
Member's or former Member's Account balances determined at the time of any prior
payment to him exceeded $5,000.00 ($3,500 prior to January 1, 1998), then the
benefit to be distributed at any subsequent time shall be deemed to exceed that
amount. If a Distributee who is subject to this Section 5.07 does not furnish
instructions in accordance with Plan procedures to directly roll over his Plan
benefit within 45 days after he has been given direct rollover forms, he will be
deemed to have elected a lump sum cash distribution of his entire Plan benefit.

         Effective January 1, 2002, notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan other than Section 5.06, if a Member's Account balance at the time of his
Separation from service is (a) less than or equal to $5,000.00 but greater than
$200, his Account balance shall be paid to him (or, in the event he has died, to
his Beneficiary) as soon as administratively practicable in the form of a single
sum payment in shares of Sponsor Stock with respect to amounts invested in
Sponsor Stock, cash and/or as a Direct Rollover or (b) less than or equal to
$200, his Account balance shall be paid to him (or, in the event he has died, to
his Beneficiary) as soon as administratively practicable in the form of a single
sum cash payment. If a Distributee who is subject to this Section 5.04 does not
furnish instructions in accordance with Plan procedures to directly roll over
his Plan benefit within 45 days after he has been given direct rollover forms,
he will be deemed to have elected a lump sum distribution of his entire Plan
benefit.

         5.05     FORM OF PAYMENT. All payments from the Plan shall be made in
the form of cash; provided however that a Member, former Member or Beneficiary
may elect to receive amounts invested in Sponsor Stock in an in-kind
distribution of Sponsor Stock.

                                      V-1
<PAGE>

         5.06     DIRECT ROLLOVER OPTION. To the extent required under
Regulations, a Distributee has the right to direct that any portion of his
Eligible Rollover Distribution will be directly paid to an Eligible Retirement
Plan specified by him that will accept the Eligible Rollover Distribution.

         5.07     REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan, all benefits payable under the Plan shall be distributed, or commence
to be distributed, in compliance with the following provisions:

                  (a)      REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS FOR CERTAIN PERSONS WHO ARE
70-1/2 OR OLDER. Unless a Member's or former Member's entire nonforfeitable
interest in his Plan benefit is distributed to him in a single sum no later than
his Required Beginning Date or in the form of an annuity purchased from an
insurance company, the Member's or former Member's nonforfeitable interest in
his Plan benefit must begin to be distributed, not later than his Required
Beginning Date, over the life of the Member or former Member, or the joint lives
of the Member or former Member and his Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary, or over a
period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Member or former Member
or the joint and last survivor expectancy of the Member or former Member and his
Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary. The distribution required to be made on or before
the Member's or former Member's Required Beginning Date shall be the
distribution required for his first Distribution Calendar Year. The minimum
required distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the
required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the
Member's or former Member's Required Beginning Date occurs must be made on or
before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year. In the case of a benefit
payable in a form other than a single sum or an annuity purchased from an
insurance company, the amount that must be distributed for a Distribution
Calendar Year is an amount equal to the amount specified in Paragraph (b) of
this Section 5.07.

                  (b)      REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. If a Member's or
former Member's Required Beginning Date is before the date on which he incurs a
Separation From Service, the Member or former Member (if he is then alive) must
be paid either the entire amount credited to his Account or annual distributions
from the Plan in the amounts required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code and
Regulations thereunder commencing no later than his Required Beginning Date
until his entire interest under the Plan has been distributed. The distribution
required to be made on or before the Member's or former Member's Required
Beginning Date shall be the distribution required for his first Distribution
Calendar Year. The minimum required distribution for other Distribution Calendar
Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar
Year in which the Member's or former Member's Required Beginning Date occurs
must be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year. The
amount that must be distributed for a Distribution Calendar Year is an amount
equal to (1) the Member's or former Member's Account balance as of the last
Valuation Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution
Calendar Year, increased by any contributions or forfeitures allocated and made
to the Account during such immediately preceding calendar year after the
Valuation Date, and decreased by distributions made during such immediately
preceding calendar year after the Valuation Date, divided by (2) the Member's or
former Member's Applicable Distribution Period.

<PAGE>

                  (c)      DISTRIBUTION DEADLINE FOR DEATH BENEFIT WHEN MEMBER
OR FORMER MEMBER DIES BEFORE HIS DISTRIBUTIONS BEGIN. If a Member or former
Member dies before the date distribution of his nonforfeitable interest in his
Plan benefit begins, his entire nonforfeitable interest in his Plan benefit will
be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to his Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary
no later than as follows:

                           (i)      Unless clause (iii) below applies, if the
Member's or former Member's surviving Spouse is the Member's or former Member's
sole Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving Spouse
will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year in which the Member or former Member died, or by December 31 of
the calendar year in which the Member or former Member would have attained age
70 1/2 , if later.

                           (ii)     If the Member's or former Member's surviving
Spouse is not the Member's or former Member's sole Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary
and the payment of Plan death benefits to the Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary will
not be in the form of a single sum or a commercial annuity, then distributions
to the Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar
year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member or former
Member died.

                           (iii)    If the Member's or former Member's surviving
Spouse is the Member's or former Member's sole Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary,
and the payment of a Plan death benefit to the Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary
will be in the form of a single sum, then the Member's or former Member's entire
nonforfeitable interest in his Plan benefit will be distributed by December 31
of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member's or former
Member's death.

                           (iv)     If there is no Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary
as of September 30 of the calendar year following the calendar year of the
Member's or former Member's death, then the Member's or former Member's entire
nonforfeitable interest in his Plan benefit will be distributed by December 31
of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member's or former
Member's death.

                           (v)      If the Member's or former Member's surviving
Spouse is the Member's or former Member's sole Section 401(a)(9) Beneficiary and
the surviving Spouse dies after the Member or former Member but before
distributions to the surviving Spouse begin, this Section 5.07(c), other than
Section 5.07(c)(i), will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Member or
former Member.

                  Unless the Member's or former Member's interest is
distributed in the form of an annuity or in a single sum on or before the
Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year
distributions will be made in accordance with Paragraph (b) of this
Section 5.07.

                  (d)      DISTRIBUTION OF DEATH BENEFIT WHEN MEMBER OR FORMER
MEMBER DIES ON OR AFTER HIS REQUIRED BEGINNING DATE. If a Member or former
Member dies on or after his Required Beginning Date, his Plan benefit must be
distributed to his Section 401(a)(9)

                                      V-3
<PAGE>

Beneficiary at least as rapidly as the method of payment of minimum required
distributions being used as of the date of his death.

                  (e)      LIMITATIONS ON DEATH BENEFITS. Benefits payable under
the Plan shall not be provided in any form that would cause a Member's or former
Member's death benefit to be more than incidental. Any distribution required to
satisfy the incidental benefit requirement shall be considered a required
distribution for purposes of section 401(a)(9) of the Code.

                  (f)      REQUIREMENTS IN THE CASE OF A COMMERCIAL ANNUITY. If
a Member's or former Member's nonforfeitable interest in his Plan benefit is
distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company,
distributions under the annuity contract will be made in accordance with the
requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Department of Treasury
Regulations.

                  (g)      COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 401(a)(9). All distributions
under the Plan will be made in accordance with the requirements of section
401(a)(9) of the Code and all Regulations promulgated thereunder, including,
effective January 1, 2003, the Final Section 401(a)(9) Regulations, including
sections 1.401(a)(9)-1 through 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Final Section 401(a)(9)
Regulations. The provisions of the Plan reflecting section 401(a)(9) of the Code
override any distribution options in the Plan inconsistent with section
401(a)(9) of the Code.

                  (h)      COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 401(a)(14). Unless the Member
or former Member otherwise elects, the payment of benefits under the Plan to the
Member or former Member will begin not later than the 60th day after the close
of the Plan Year in which occurs the latest of (a) the date on which the Member
or former Member attains the later of age 62 or Retirement Age, (b) the tenth
anniversary of the year in which the Member or former Member commenced
participation in the Plan, or (c) the Member's or former Member's Separation
From Service.

         5.08     CONSENT TO DISTRIBUTIONS UPON SEPARATION FROM SERVICE.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no benefit shall be distributed
or commence to be distributed to a Member or former Member prior to his
attainment of the later of age 62 or Retirement Age without his consent, unless
the benefit is payable in a single sum under Section 5.04. Any such consent
shall be valid only if given not more than 90 days prior to the Member's or
former Member's Annuity Starting Date and after his receipt of the notice
regarding benefits described in Section (a).

         5.09     INFORMATION PROVIDED TO MEMBERS. Information regarding the
form of benefits available under the Plan shall be provided to Members or former
Members in accordance with the following provisions:

                  (a)      General Information. Except as otherwise provided in
paragraph (c), the Sponsor shall provide each Member or former Member with a
written general explanation or description of (1) the eligibility conditions and
other material features of the optional forms of benefit available under the
Plan, (2) the relative values of the optional forms of benefit available

                                      V-4
<PAGE>

under the Plan, and (3) the Member's or former Member's right, if any, to defer
receipt of the distribution.

                  (b)      Time for Giving Notice. The written general
explanation or description regarding any optional forms of benefit available
under the Plan shall be provided to a Member or former Member no less than 30
days and no more than 90 days before his Annuity Starting Date unless he legally
waives this requirement.

                  (c)      Exception for Members with Small Benefit Amounts.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, no information
regarding any optional forms of benefit otherwise available under the Plan shall
be provided to the Member or former Member if his benefit is payable in a single
sum under Section 5.04.

         5.10     DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each Member has the right to
designate and to revoke the designation of his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.
Each designation or revocation must be evidenced by a written document in the
form required by the Committee, signed by the Member and filed with the
Committee. If no designation is on file at the time of a Member's death or if
the Committee determines that the designation is ineffective, the designated
Beneficiary shall be the Member's Spouse, if living, or if not, the executor,
administrator or other personal representative of the Member's estate. If a
Member is considered to be married under local law, the Member's designation of
any Beneficiary, other than the Member's Spouse, shall not be valid unless the
spouse acknowledges in writing that she understands the effect of the Member's
beneficiary designation and consents to it. The consent must be to a specific
Beneficiary. The written acknowledgement and consent must be filed with the
Committee, signed by the Spouse and at least two witnesses, one of whom must be
a member of the Committee or a notary public. However, if the Spouse cannot be
located or there exist other circumstances as described in sections 401(a)(11)
and 417(a)(2) of the Code, the requirement of the Member's Spouse's
acknowledgement and consent may be waived. If a Beneficiary other than the
Member's Spouse is named, the designation shall become invalid if the Member is
later determined to be married under local law, the Member's missing Spouse is
located or the circumstances which resulted in the waiver of the requirement of
obtaining the consent of the Member's Spouse no longer exist.

         5.11     DISTRIBUTIONS TO DISABLED PERSONS. If the Committee determines
that any person to whom a payment is due is unable to care for his affairs
because of physical or mental disability, it shall have the authority to cause
the payments to be made to the Spouse, brother, sister or other person the
Committee determines to have incurred, or to be expected to incur, expenses for
that person unless a prior claim is made by a qualified guardian or other legal
representative. The Committee and the Trustee shall not be responsible to
oversee the application of those payments. Payments made pursuant to this power
shall be a complete discharge of all liability under the Plan and the Trust and
the obligations of the Employer, the Trustee, the Trust and the Committee.

         5.12     DISTRIBUTIONS PURSUANT TO QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS.
The Committee will instruct the Trustee to pay benefits in accordance with the
terms of any order that has been determined, in accordance with Plan procedures,
to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. A Qualified Domestic Relations Order
may require the payment of an immediate cash

                                      V-5
<PAGE>

lump sum to an alternate payee even if the Member or former Member is not then
entitled to receive an immediate payment of Plan benefits.

         5.13     CLAIMS PROCEDURE. When a benefit is due, the Member or
Beneficiary should submit a claim to the office designated by the Committee to
receive claims. Under normal circumstances, the Committee will make a final
decision as to a claim within 90 days after receipt of the claim. If the
Committee notifies the claimant in writing during the initial 90-day period, it
may extend the period up to 180 days after the initial receipt of the claim. The
written notice must contain the circumstances necessitating the extension and
the anticipated date for the final decision. If a claim is denied during the
claims period, the Committee must notify the claimant in writing. The denial
must include the specific reasons for it, the Plan provisions upon which the
denial is based, any additional material or information necessary for the
claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or
information is necessary, and the Plan's review procedures and time limits,
including a statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil action under
section 502(a) of ERISA.

         If a Member's or Beneficiary's claim is denied and he wants a review,
he must apply to the Committee in writing. That application can include any
arguments, written comments, documents, records, and other information relating
to the claim for benefits. In addition, the claimant is entitled to receive on
request and free of charge reasonable access to and copies of all information
relevant to the claim. For this purpose, "relevant" means information that was
relied on in making the benefit determination or that was submitted, considered
or generated in the course of making the determination, without regard to
whether it was relied on, and information that demonstrates compliance with the
Plan's administrative procedures and safeguards for assuring and verifying that
Plan provisions are applied consistently in making benefit determinations. The
Committee must take into account all comments, documents, records, and other
information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to
whether the information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit
determination. The claimant may either represent himself or appoint a
representative, either of whom has the right to inspect all documents pertaining
to the claim and its denial. The Committee can schedule any meeting with the
claimant or his representative that it finds necessary or appropriate to
complete its review. The request for review must be filed within 90 days after
the denial. If it is not, the denial becomes final. If a timely request is made,
the Committee must make its decision, under normal circumstances, within 60 days
of the receipt of the request for review. However, if the Committee notifies the
claimant prior to the expiration of the initial review period, it may extend the
period of review up to 120 days following the initial receipt of the request for
a review. All decisions of the Committee must be in writing and must include the
specific reasons for its action, the Plan provisions on which its decision is
based, and a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request
and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records,
and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits, and a
statement of the claimant's right to bring an action under section 502(a) of
ERISA If a decision is not given to the claimant within the review period, the
claim is treated as if it were denied on the last day of the review period.

                       IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS

         6.01     IN-SERVICE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS.

                  (a)      General. Prior to his Separation From Service, a
Member is entitled to receive a distribution from his Salary Deferral
Contribution Account (except for income that was not credited to his Salary
Deferred Contribution Account as of December 31, 1988), his Catch-up Salary
Deferral Contribution Account (except for income credited to his Catch-up Salary
Deferral Contribution Account), his Rollover Account, his Matching Contribution
Account and his Supplemental Contribution Account in the event of an immediate
and heavy financial need incurred by the Member and the Committee's
determination that the withdrawal is necessary to alleviate that hardship.

                  (b)      Permitted Reasons For Financial Hardship Withdrawals.
A distribution shall be made on account of financial hardship only if the
distribution is for: (i) Expenses for medical care described in section 213(d)
of the Code previously incurred by the Member, the Member's Spouse, or any
dependents of the Member (as defined in section 152 of the Code) or necessary
for these persons to obtain medical care described in section 213(d) of the
Code, (ii) costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments)
of a principal residence for the Member, (iii) payment of tuition and related
educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the
Member, his Spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in section 152 of the
Code), (iv) payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Member from his
principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Member's principal
residence, or (v) any other event added to this list by the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue.

                  (c)      Amount. A distribution to satisfy an immediate and
heavy financial need shall not be made in excess of the amount of the immediate
and heavy financial need of the Member and the Member must have obtained all
distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all nontaxable (at the
time of the loan) loans currently available under all plans maintained by the
Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, a Member need not
obtain nontaxable loans described in the preceding sentence if the aggregate
amount of all such loans would not be sufficient to fully satisfy the Member's
immediate and heavy financial need. The amount of a Member's immediate and heavy
financial need includes any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local
income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the financial
hardship distribution.

                  (d)      Suspension of Participation in Certain Benefit
Programs. The Member's hardship distribution during the 2001 Plan Year shall
terminate his right to have the Employer make any Salary Deferral Contributions
on his behalf until the next time Salary Deferral Contributions are permitted
after the lapse of 6 months following the hardship distribution or January 1,
2002, if later, and his timely filing of a written request to resume his Salary
Deferral Contributions. The Member's hardship distribution during and after the
2002 Plan Year shall terminate his right to have the Employer make any Salary
Deferral Contributions on his behalf until the next time Salary Deferral
Contributions are permitted after the lapse of 6 months following the hardship
distribution and his timely filing of a written request to resume his Salary

                                      VI-1
<PAGE>

Deferral Contributions. In addition, for 6 months after he receives a hardship
distribution from the Plan, the Member is prohibited from making elective
contributions and employee contributions to or under all other qualified and
nonqualified plans of deferred compensation maintained by the Employer,
including stock option plans, stock purchase plans and Code section 401(k) cash
or deferred arrangements that are part of cafeteria plans described in section
125 of the Code. However, the Member is not prohibited from making contributions
to a health or welfare benefit plan, including one that is part of a cafeteria
plan within the meaning of section 125 of the Code.

                  (e)      Order of Withdrawals. Financial hardship
distributions will be made in the following order: First withdrawals will be
made from the Member's Supplemental Contribution Account, then from his Matching
Contribution Account, then from his Rollover Account, then form his Salary
Deferral Contribution Account and finally, from his Catch-up Salary Deferral
Contribution Account. A Member shall not be entitled to receive a financial
hardship distribution of any amount credited to his QNEC Account, or of any
income that is allocable or credited to his Salary Deferral Contribution Account
or Catch-up Salary Deferral Contribution Account.

                  (f)      Method of Payment. Distributions pursuant to this
Section 6.01 will normally be paid in lump sums.

         6.02     IN-SERVICE AGE 59-1/2 DISTRIBUTIONS. Prior to his Separation
From Service, a Member may withdraw part or all of his Account balance on or
after the date that he attains age 59-1/2. Distributions pursuant to this
Section 6.02 will normally be paid in lump sums in cash and/or shares of Sponsor
Stock to the extent his Account balance is invested in Sponsor Stock.

         6.03     IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWAL OF ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Member
may withdraw part or all of his Rollover Account balance at any time.
Withdrawals pursuant to this Section 6.03 will normally be paid in lump sums in
cash and/or shares of Sponsor Stock to the extent his Rollover Account is
invested in Sponsor Stock.

         6.04     LOANS. The Committee may direct the Trustees to make loans to
Members (and Beneficiaries who are "parties in interest" within the meaning of
ERISA) who have a vested interest in the Plan. The Loan Committee established by
the Committee will be responsible for administering the Plan loan program. All
loans will comply with the following requirements:

                  (a)      All loans will be made solely from the Member's or
Beneficiary's Account.

                  (b)      Loans will be available on a nondiscriminatory basis
to all Beneficiaries who are "parties in interest" within the meaning of ERISA,
and to all Members.

                  (c)      Loans will not be made for less than $500.00. No
Member or Beneficiary may have more than two loans outstanding at any one time.

                  (d)      The maximum amount of a loan may not exceed the
lesser of (A) $50,000.00 reduced by the person's highest outstanding loan
balance from the Plan during the preceding one-year period, or (B) one-half of
the present value of the person's Account

                                      VI-2
<PAGE>

balances under the Plan determined as of the date on which the loan is approved
by the Loan Committee.

                  (e)      Any loan from the Plan will be evidenced by a note or
notes (signed by the person applying for the loan) having such maturity, bearing
such rate of interest, and containing such other terms as the Loan Committee
will require by uniform and nondiscriminatory rules consistent with this Section
and proper lending practices.

                  (f)      All loans will bear a reasonable rate of interest
which will be established by the Loan Committee.

                  (g)      Each loan will be fully secured by a pledge of the
borrowing person's Account balance. No more than 50 percent of the person's
Account balance (determined immediately after the origination of the loan) will
be considered as security for any loan.

                  (h)      Generally, the term of the loan will not be more than
five years. The Loan Committee may agree to a longer term (but not more than 15
years) only if such term is otherwise reasonable and the proceeds of the loan
are to be used to acquire a dwelling which will be used within a reasonable time
(determined at the time the loan is made) as the principal residence of the
borrowing person.

                  (i)      The loan agreement will require level amortization
over the term of the loan. A Member's loan agreement will also require that loan
repayments be made through payroll deductions. However, the level amortization
requirement will not apply for a period, not longer than one year (or such
longer period as may apply under the Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 ("USERRA")) that an eligible borrower is on a
bona fide leave of absence, either without pay from the Employer or at a rate of
pay (after income and employment tax withholding) that is less than the amount
of the installment payments required under the terms of the loan. However, the
loan (including interest that accrues during the leave of absence) must be
repaid by the five-year loan maturity deadline specified in paragraph (h) above
(unless the loan was a home loan described in paragraph (h) above), and the
amount of the installments due after the leave ends (or, if earlier, after the
first anniversary of the leave or such longer period as may apply under USERRA)
must not be less than the amount required under the terms of the original loan.

                  (j)      If a person fails to make a required payment by the
last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the
payment was due, the loan will be in default.

                  (k)      If a Member has an outstanding loan from the Plan at
the time of his Separation From Service, the Member shall be provided an
opportunity to pay the Trustee the outstanding loan principal balance and any
accrued but unpaid interest. If the Member fails to so repay the loan, the
Trustee will foreclose on the loan and the Member will be deemed to have
received a Plan distribution of the amount foreclosed upon. The Trustee will not
foreclose upon a Member's Salary Deferral Contribution Account or QNEC Account
until the Member's Separation From Service.

<PAGE>

                  (l)      If a Beneficiary defaults on his loan, the Trustee
will foreclose on the loan and the Beneficiary will be deemed to have received a
Plan distribution of the amount foreclosed upon.

                  (m)      No amount that is pledged as collateral for a Plan
loan to a Member will be available for withdrawal before he has fully repaid his
loan.

                  (n)      All interest payments made pursuant to the terms of
the loan agreement will be credited to the borrowing person's Account and will
not be considered as general earnings of the Trust to be allocated to other
Members.

                                 ACTIVE SERVICE

         7.01     WHEN ACTIVE SERVICE BEGINS. For purposes of eligibility,
Active Service begins when an Employee first performs an Hour of Service for an
Affiliated Employer. If an Employee who has begun Active Service Severs Service
he shall recommence Active Service when he again performs an Hour of Service for
an Affiliated Employer.

         7.02     AGGREGATION OF SERVICE. When determining an Employee's Active
Service, all Periods of Service, whether or not completed consecutively, shall
be aggregated on a per day basis. For purposes of vesting, only full years of
Active Service shall be counted. In aggregating Active Service, 30 days shall be
counted as one month and 12 months shall be counted as one year.

         7.03     PERIODS OF SERVICE OF LESS THAN ONE YEAR. If an Employee
performs an Hour of Service within 12 months after he Severs Service, the
intervening Period of Severance shall be counted as a Period of Service.

         7.04     PERIODS OF SEVERANCE DUE TO CHILD BIRTH OR ADOPTION. The
period of time between (a) the first anniversary of the first day of an absence
from Service by reason of the pregnancy of the Employee, the birth of a child of
the Employee, the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the
adoption of the child by the Employee or for purposes of caring for the child
for a period beginning immediately following the birth or placement and (b) the
second anniversary of the first day of the absence shall not be counted as a
Period of Service or a Period of Severance.

         7.05     TRANSFERS. If an Employee is transferred to the employ of an
Affiliated Employer, he will continue to earn Active Service for eligibility
purposes.

         7.06     EMPLOYMENT RECORDS CONCLUSIVE. The employment records of the
Employer shall be conclusive for all determinations of Active Service.

         7.07     SERVICE CREDIT REQUIRED UNDER FEDERAL LAW. An Employee shall
be credited with such additional years of Active Service as are required under
any applicable law of the United States.

                              INVESTMENT ELECTIONS

         8.01     INVESTMENT FUNDS ESTABLISHED. It is contemplated that the
assets of the Plan shall be invested in such categories of assets as may be
determined from time to time by the Committee and announced and made available
on an equal basis to all Members and former Members. In accordance with
procedures established by the Committee, each Member and former Member may
designate the percentage of his Employer Matching Contribution Account, QNEC
Account, Rollover Contribution Account and Salary Deferral Contribution Account
to be invested in each investment fund available under the Plan. Up to one
hundred percent of the Trust assets may be invested in Sponsor Stock.

         8.02     ELECTION PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED. The Committee shall, from
time to time, establish rules to be applied in a nondiscriminatory manner as to
all matters relating to the administration of the investment of funds including,
but not limited to, the following:

                  (a)      the percentage of a Member's or former Member's
Account as it exists, from time to time, that may be transferred from one fund
to another and the limitations based on amounts, percentages, time, or
frequency, if any, on such transfers;

                  (b)      the percentage of a Member's future contributions,
when allocated to his Account, that may be invested in any one or more funds and
the limitations based upon amounts, percentages, time, or frequency, if any, on
such investments in various funds;

                  (c)      the procedures for making investment elections and
changing existing investment elections;

                  (d)      the period of notice required for making investment
elections and changing existing investment elections;

                  (e)      the handling of income and change of value in funds
when funds are in the process of being transferred between investment funds and
to investment funds; and

                  (f)      all other matters necessary to permit the orderly
operation of investment funds within the Plan.

When the Committee changes any previous applicable rule, it shall state the
effective time of the change and the procedures for complying with any such
change. Any change shall remain effective until such date as stated in the
change, or if none is stated, then until revoked or changed in a like manner.

                    VOTING OF SPONSOR STOCK AND TENDER OFFERS

         9.01     VOTING OF SPONSOR STOCK. When the Sponsor files preliminary or
final proxy solicitation materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Sponsor shall cause a copy of all materials to be simultaneously sent to the
Trustee. Based on these materials, the Trustee shall prepare a voting
instruction form. At the time of mailing of notice of each annual or special
stockholders' meeting of the Sponsor, the Sponsor shall cause a copy of the
notice and all proxy solicitation materials to be sent to each Member with an
interest in Sponsor Stock held in the Trust, together with the foregoing voting
instruction form to be returned to the Trustee or its designee. The form shall
show the number of full and fractional shares of the Sponsor Stock credited to
each Member's or former Member's Account. The Sponsor shall provide the Trustee
with a copy of any materials provided to the Members and shall certify to the
Trustee that the materials have been mailed or otherwise sent to the Members and
former Members.

         Each Member and former Member with an interest in Sponsor Stock held in
the Trust shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which
the Trustee is to vote the number of shares of the Sponsor Stock reflecting such
Member's or former Member's proportional interest in the Sponsor Stock held in
the Trust. Directions from a Member or former Member to the Trustee concerning
the voting of the Sponsor Stock shall be communicated in writing, or by mailgram
or similar means. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee
and shall not be divulged to the Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or
any other person except to the extent that the Sponsor must have the safeguarded
information in order to comply with federal laws or state laws not preempted by
ERISA. Upon its receipt of the directions, the Trustee shall vote the shares of
the Sponsor Stock reflecting the Member's or former Member's proportional
interest in the Sponsor Stock held in the Trust as directed by the Member or
former Member. The Trustee shall vote shares of the Sponsor Stock reflecting
such Member's or former Member's proportional interest in the Sponsor Stock held
in the Trust for which it has received no directions from the Member or former
Member in the same proportion on each issue as it votes those shares for which
it received voting directions from Members and former Members. The Trustee shall
vote shares of the Sponsor Stock not credited to Members' or former Members'
Accounts in the same proportion on each issue as it votes those shares credited
to Members' and former Members' Accounts for which it received voting directions
from Members and former Members.

         9.02     TENDER OFFERS. Upon commencement of a tender offer for any
securities held in the Trust that are the Sponsor Stock, the Sponsor shall
notify each Member and former Member of the tender offer and utilize its best
efforts to timely distribute or cause to be distributed to each Member and
former Member the same information that is distributed to other stockholders of
the Sponsor in connection with the tender offer, and, after consulting with the
Trustee, shall provide and pay for a means by which the Member or former Member
may direct the Trustee whether or not to tender the Sponsor Stock credited to
the Member's or former Member's Accounts. The Sponsor shall provide the Trustee
with a copy of any material provided to the Members and former Members and shall
certify to the Trustee that the materials have been mailed or otherwise sent to
Members and former Members.

                                      IX-1
<PAGE>

         Each Member and former Member shall have the right to direct the
Trustee to tender or not to tender some or all of the shares of the Sponsor
Stock reflecting his proportional interest in the Sponsor Stock held in the
Trust. Directions from a Member or former Member to the Trustee concerning the
tender of the Sponsor Stock shall be communicated in writing, or by mailgram or
such similar means as is agreed upon by the Trustee and the Sponsor under the
preceding paragraph. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee
and shall not be divulged to the Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or
any other person except to the extent that the consequences of such directions
are reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such persons in the
ordinary course of the performance of the Trustee's services hereunder. The
Trustee shall tender or not tender shares of Sponsor Stock as directed by the
Member or former Member. To the extent that Members or former Members fail to
affirmatively direct the Trustee or fail to issue valid directions to the
Trustee to tender shares of the Sponsor Stock credited to their Accounts, those
Members or former Members will be deemed to have instructed the Trustee not to
tender those shares. Accordingly, the Trustee shall not tender shares of Sponsor
Stock credited to a Member's or former Member's Accounts for which it has
received no directions or invalid directions from the Member or former Member.

         The Trustee shall tender that number of shares of the Sponsor Stock not
credited to Members' or former Members' Accounts which is determined by
multiplying the total number of shares of the Sponsor Stock not credited to
Members' or former Members' Accounts by a fraction of which the numerator is the
number of shares of the Sponsor Stock credited to Members' or former Members'
accounts for which the Trustee has received valid directions from Members or
former Members to tender (which directions have not been withdrawn as of the
date of this determination) and of which the denominator is the total number of
shares of the Sponsor Stock credited to Members' or former Members' Accounts.

         A Member or former Member who has directed the Trustee to tender some
or all of the shares of the Sponsor Stock credited to the Member's or former
Member's Accounts may, at any time prior to the tender offer withdrawal date,
direct the Trustee to withdraw some or all of the tendered shares, and the
Trustee shall withdraw the directed number of shares from the tender offer prior
to the tender offer withdrawal deadline. Prior to the withdrawal deadline, if
any shares of the Sponsor Stock not credited to Members' or former Members'
Accounts have been tendered, the Trustee shall redetermine the number of shares
of the Sponsor Stock that would be tendered under this Section if the date of
the foregoing withdrawal were the date of determination, and withdraw from the
tender offer the number of shares of the Sponsor Stock not credited to Members'
or former Members' Accounts necessary to reduce the amount of tendered Sponsor
Stock not credited to Members' or former Members' Accounts to the amount so
redetermined. A Member or former Member shall not be limited as to the number of
directions to tender or withdraw that the Member or former Member may give to
the Trustee.

         A direction by a Member or former Member to the Trustee to tender
shares of the Sponsor Stock reflecting the Member's or former Member's
proportional interest in the Sponsor Stock held in the Trust shall not be
considered a written election under the Plan by the Member or former Member to
withdraw, or have distributed, any or all of his withdrawable shares. The
Trustee shall credit to each proportional interest of the Member or former
Member from which the tendered shares were taken the proceeds received by the
Trustee in exchange for the shares of the Sponsor Stock tendered from that
interest.

<PAGE>

         9.03     SHARES CREDITED. For all purposes of this Article, the number
of shares of the Sponsor Stock deemed "credited" to a Member's or former
Member's Accounts as of the relevant date (the record date or the date specified
in the tender offer) shall be calculated by reference to the number of shares
reflected on the books of the transfer agent as of the relevant date. In the
case of a tender offer, the number of shares credited shall be determined as of
a date as close as administratively feasible to the relevant date.

         9.04     CONVERSION. All provisions in this Article shall also apply to
any securities received as a result of a conversion of the Sponsor Stock.

         9.05     NAMED FIDUCIARY. For purposes of ERISA, each Member or former
Member shall be the named fiduciary for purposes of section 403(a)(1) of ERISA
in connection with the exercise of voting and tender offer rights relating to
shares of the Sponsor Stock credited to his Accounts and any shares of the
Sponsor Stock not credited to his Accounts that may be affected by his voting or
tender decision.

                       ADOPTION OF PLAN BY OTHER EMPLOYERS

         10.01    ADOPTION PROCEDURE. Any business organization may, with the
approval of the Board, adopt the Plan by:

                  (a)      a certified resolution or consent of the board of
directors of the adopting Employer or an executed adoption instrument (approved
by the board of directors of the adopting Employer) agreeing to be bound as an
Employer by all the terms, conditions and limitations of the Plan except those,
if any, specifically described in the adoption instrument; and

                  (b)      providing all information required by the Committee
and the Trustee.

         10.02    NO JOINT VENTURE IMPLIED. The document which evidences the
adoption of the Plan by an Employer shall become a part of the Plan. However,
neither the adoption of the Plan and the Trust by an Employer nor any act
performed by it in relation to the Plan and the Trust shall ever create a joint
venture or partnership relation between it and any other Employer.

         10.03    ALL TRUST ASSETS AVAILABLE TO PAY ALL BENEFITS. The Accounts
of Members employed by the Employers that adopt the Plan shall be commingled for
investment purposes. All assets in the Trust shall be available to pay benefits
to all Members employed by any Employer.

         10.04    QUALIFICATION A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO ADOPTION AND CONTINUED
PARTICIPATION. The adoption of the Plan and the Trust by a business organization
is contingent upon and subject to the express condition precedent that the
initial adoption meets all statutory and regulatory requirements for
qualification of the Plan and the exemption of the Trust that are applicable to
it and that the Plan and Trust continue in operation to maintain their qualified
and exempt status. In the event the adoption fails to initially qualify, the
adoption shall fail retroactively for failure to meet the condition precedent
and the portion of the Trust assets applicable to the adoption shall be
immediately returned to the adopting business organization and the adoption
shall be void ab initio. In the event the adoption as to a given business
organization later becomes disqualified and loses its exemption for any reason,
the adoption shall fail retroactively for failure to meet the condition
precedent and the portion of the Trust assets allocable to the adoption by that
business organization shall be immediately spun off, retroactively as of the
last date for which the Plan qualified, to a separate trust for its sole benefit
and an identical but separate Plan shall be created, retroactively effective as
of the last date the Plan as adopted by that business organization qualified,
for the benefit of the Members covered by that adoption.

                            AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

         11.01    RIGHT TO AMEND AND LIMITATIONS THEREON. The Sponsor has the
sole right to amend the Plan. An amendment may be made by a certified resolution
or consent of the Board, or by an instrument in writing executed by the
appropriate officer of the Sponsor. The amendment must describe the nature of
the amendment and its effective date. No amendment shall:

                  (a)      vest in an Employer any interest in the Trust;

                  (b)      cause or permit the Trust assets to be diverted to
any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the present or future Members
and their Beneficiaries except under the circumstances described in Section
3.09;

                  (c)      decrease the Account of any Employee, or eliminate an
optional form of payment in violation of section 411(d)(6) of the Code;

                  (d)      increase substantially the duties or liabilities of
the Trustee without its written consent; or

                  (e)      change the vesting schedule to one which would result
in the nonforfeitable percentage of a Member's Account (determined as of the
later of the date of the adoption of the amendment or of the effective date of
the amendment) of any Member being less than the nonforfeitable percentage
computed under the Plan without regard to the amendment. If the Plan's vesting
schedule is amended, if the Plan is amended in any other way that affects the
computation of the Member's nonforfeitable percentage, or if the Plan is deemed
amended by an automatic change to or from a top-heavy vesting schedule, each
Member with at least three years of Active Service as of the date of the
amendment or change shall have his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the
Plan without regard to the amendment or the change if that results in a higher
nonforfeitable percentage.

         Each Employer shall be deemed to have adopted any amendment made by the
Sponsor unless the Employer notifies the Committee of its rejection in writing
within 30 days after it receives a copy of the amendment. A rejection shall
constitute a withdrawal from the Plan by that Employer unless the Sponsor
acquiesces in the rejection.

         11.02    MANDATORY AMENDMENTS. The Contributions of each Employer to
the Plan are intended to be:

                  (a)      deductible under the applicable provisions of the
Code;

                  (b)      except as otherwise prescribed by applicable law,
exempt from the Federal Social Security Act;

                  (c)      except as otherwise prescribed by applicable law,
exempt from withholding under the Code; and

                                      XI-1
<PAGE>

                  (d)      excludable from any Employee's regular rate of pay,
as that term is defined under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended.

         The Sponsor shall make any amendment necessary to carry out this
intention, and it may be made retroactively.

         11.03    WITHDRAWAL OF EMPLOYER. An Employer may withdraw from the Plan
and the Trust if the Sponsor does not acquiesce in its rejection of an amendment
or by giving written notice of its intent to withdraw to the Committee. The
Committee shall then determine the portion of the Trust assets that is
attributable to the Members employed by the withdrawing Employer and shall
notify the Trustee to segregate and transfer those assets to the successor
trustee when it receives a designation of the successor from the withdrawing
Employer.

         A withdrawal shall not terminate the Plan and the Trust with respect to
the withdrawing Employer, if the Employer either appoints a successor trustee
and reaffirms the Plan and the Trust as its new and separate plan and trust
intended to qualify under section 401(a) of the Code, or establishes another
plan and trust intended to qualify under section 401(a) of the Code.

         The determination of the Committee, in its sole discretion, of the
portion of the Trust assets that is attributable to the Members employed by the
withdrawing Employer shall be final and binding upon all parties; and, the
Trustee's transfer of those assets to the designated successor Trustee shall
relieve the Trustee of any further obligation, liability or duty to the
withdrawing Employer, the Members employed by that Employer and their
Beneficiaries, and the successor trustee.

         11.04    TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Sponsor may terminate the Plan and
the Trust with respect to all Employers by executing and delivering to the
Committee and the Trustee, a notice of termination, specifying the date of
termination.

         11.05    PARTIAL OR COMPLETE TERMINATION OR COMPLETE DISCONTINUANCE OF
CONTRIBUTIONS. Without regard to any other provision of the Plan, if there is a
partial or total termination of the Plan or there is a complete discontinuance
of the Employer's Contributions, each of the affected Members shall immediately
become 100 percent vested in his Account as of the end of the last Plan Year for
which a substantial Employer Contribution was made and in any amounts later
allocated to his Account. If the Employer then resumes making substantial
Contributions at any time, the appropriate vesting schedule shall again apply to
all amounts allocated to each affected Member's Account beginning with the Plan
Year for which they were resumed.

<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         12.01    PLAN NOT AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. The maintenance of the Plan
and the Trust is not a contract between any Employer and its Employees which
gives any Employee the right to be retained in its employment. Likewise, it is
not intended to interfere with the rights of any Employer to discharge any
Employee at any time or to interfere with the Employee's right to terminate his
employment at any time.

         12.02    BENEFITS PROVIDED SOLELY FROM TRUST. All benefits payable
under the Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from the Trust. No Employer
assumes any liability or responsibility to pay any benefit provided by the Plan.

         12.03    ASSIGNMENTS PROHIBITED. No principal or income payable or to
become payable from the Trust assets shall be subject to anticipation or
assignment by a Member, former Member, or by a Beneficiary to attachment by,
interference with, or control of any creditor of a Member, former Member, or
Beneficiary; or to being taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in
satisfaction of any debt or liability of a Member, former Member, or Beneficiary
prior to its actual receipt by the Member, former Member, or Beneficiary. Any
attempted conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge, or encumbrance of
any Trust assets, any part of it, or any interest in it by a Member, former
Member, or Beneficiary prior to distribution shall be void, whether that
conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge, or encumbrance is intended
to take place or become effective before or after any distribution of Trust
assets or the termination of the Trust itself. The Trustee shall never under any
circumstances be required to recognize any conveyance, transfer, assignment,
mortgage, pledge or encumbrance by a Member, former Member, or Beneficiary of
the Trust, any part of it, or any interest in it, or to pay any money or thing
of value to any creditor or assignee of a Member, former Member, or Beneficiary
for any cause whatsoever. These prohibitions against the alienation of a
Member's Account shall not apply to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or to a
voluntary revocable assignment of benefits not in excess of ten percent of the
amount of any payment from the Plan if such assignment complies with Regulations
issued under 401(a)(13) of the Code. Further, these prohibitions shall not apply
to any offset of a Member's benefit under the Plan against an amount that the
Member or former Member is ordered or required to pay to the Plan if (a) the
order or requirement to pay arises (1) under a judgment of conviction for a
crime involving the Plan, (2) under a civil judgment (including a consent order
or decree) entered by a court in an action in connection with an alleged
violation of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA, or (3) is pursuant to a
settlement agreement between the Secretary of Labor and the Member or former
Member in connection with an alleged violation of part 4 of subtitle B of title
I of ERISA by a fiduciary or any other person and (b) the judgment, order,
decree or settlement agreement expressly provides for the offset of all or a
part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the
Member's or former Member's benefits provided under the Plan.

         12.04    REQUIREMENTS UPON MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF PLANS. The Plan
shall not merge or consolidate with or transfer any assets or liabilities to any
other plan unless each Member would receive a benefit immediately after the
merger, consolidation, or transfer which

                                      XII-1
<PAGE>

is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan had then
terminated).

         12.05    FORFEITURE BY LOST MEMBERS OR BENEFICIARIES. If a person who
is entitled to a distribution cannot be located during a reasonable search after
the Trustee has initially attempted making payment, that person's Account shall
be forfeited. Such amount shall be used to reduce the Employer's contribution
under the Plan. However, if at any time prior to the termination of the Plan and
the complete distribution of the Trust assets, the former Member or Beneficiary
files a claim with the Committee for the forfeited benefit, that benefit shall
be reinstated (without adjustment for trust income or losses during the
forfeited period) effective as of the date of the receipt of the claim. As soon
as appropriate following the Employer's Contribution of the reinstated amount,
it shall be paid to the former Member or Beneficiary in a single sum.

         12.06    GENDER OF WORDS USED. If the context requires it, words of one
gender when used in the Plan shall include the other gender, and words used in
the singular or plural shall include the other.

         12.07    SEVERABILITY. Each provision of this Agreement may be severed.
If any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that
determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision.

         12.08    REEMPLOYED VETERANS. Effective December 12, 1994, the
requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of
1994 will be complied with in the operation of the Plan in the manner permitted
under section 414(u) of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, Contributions and Eligibility Service with respect to a person who has
engaged in qualified military service will be provided in accordance with
section 414(u) of the Code.

         12.09    LIMITATIONS ON LEGAL ACTIONS. No person may bring an action
pertaining to the Plan or the Trust until he has exhausted his administrative
claims and appeal remedies identified in Section 5.13. Further, no person may
bring an action pertaining to a claim for benefits under the Plan or the Trust
following 120 days after the Committee's final denial of his claim for benefits.

         12.10    GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed,
administered, and governed under the laws of the United States unless the
specific matter in question is governed by state law in which event the laws of
the State of Texas shall apply.

         12.11    FAMILY AGGREGATION RULES. Effective for Plan Years beginning
after December 31, 1996, the family aggregation rules required by section
414(q)(6) of the Code have been deleted from the Plan. This Section is subject
to the plan amendment rules of section 1.401(a)(4)-5(a) of the Regulations.
Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996, the Plan is amended
to delete the provision of family aggregation as described in section
401(a)(17)(A) of the Code which requires a Member, the spouse of such Member and
any lineal descendants who have not attained age 19 before the close of the Plan
Year to be treated as a single participant for purposes of applying the
limitation on compensation for a Plan Year.

                                   APPENDIX A

                  LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

                              PART A.1 DEFINITIONS

         DEFINITIONS. As used herein the following words and phrases have the
meaning attributed to them below:

         A.1.1 "ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION RATIO" shall mean the ratio of Section
401(m) Contributions actually paid into the Trust on behalf of an Employee for a
Plan Year to the Employee's Annual Compensation for the same Plan Year. For this
purpose, Annual Compensation for any portion of the Plan Year in which the
Employee was not an eligible Employee (as defined in Section A.2.4) will not be
taken into account.

         A.1.2 "ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE" means, for a specified group of
Employees for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios (calculated separately for
each Employee in the group) of the amount of Section 401(k) Contributions
actually paid into the Trust on behalf of the Employee for the Plan Year to the
Employee's Annual Compensation for the Plan Year.

         A.1.3 "ACTUAL DEFERRAL RATIO" means the ratio of Section 401(k)
Contributions actually paid into the Trust on behalf of an Employee for a Plan
Year to the Employee's Annual Compensation for the same Plan Year. For this
purpose, Annual Compensation for any portion of the Plan Year in which the
Employee was not an eligible Employee (as defined in Section A.2.3) will not be
taken into account.

         A.1.4 "ANNUAL ADDITIONS" means the sum of the following amounts
credited on behalf of a Member for the Limitation Year: (a) Employer
contributions excluding Catch-up Salary Deferral Contributions and including
Salary Deferral Contributions, (b) Employee contributions and (c) forfeitures.
For this purpose, Employee contributions are determined without regard to any
rollover contributions (as defined in sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8),
408(d)(3) and 457(e)(16) of the Code without regard to employee contributions to
a simplified employee pension which are excludable from gross income under
section 408(k)(6) of the Code). Excess 401(k) Contributions for a Plan Year are
treated as Annual Additions for that Plan Year even if they are corrected
through distribution. Excess Deferrals that are timely distributed as set forth
in Section A.3.1 will not be treated as Annual Additions.

         A.1.5 "CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE" shall mean, for a specified group of
Employees for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios (calculated separately for
each Employee in the group) of the amount of Section 401(m) Contributions
actually paid into the Trust on behalf of the Employee for the Plan Year to the
Employee's Annual Compensation for the Plan Year.

         A.1.6 "CURRENT PLAN YEAR" means the Plan Year for which the applicable
discrimination test under section 401(k) or section 401(m) is being performed.

         A.1.7 "EXCESS AGGREGATE 401(m) CONTRIBUTIONS" means, with respect to
any Plan Year, the excess of (a) the aggregate amount of Section 401(m)
Contributions actually paid into the

                                      A-1
<PAGE>

Trust on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over (b) the
maximum amount of those contributions permitted under the limitations set out in
the first sentence of Section A.2.4.

         A.1.8 "EXCESS AMOUNT" shall mean the excess of the Annual Additions
credited to the Member's Account for the Limitation Year over the Maximum
Permissible Amount.

         A.1.9 "EXCESS DEFERRAL" means the aggregate amount of a Member's Salary
Deferral Contributions and other elective deferral contributions described in
Section A.2.2 in excess of the limitation specified in Section A.2.2, or the
aggregate amount of the Member's Salary Deferral Contributions that the Member
timely notifies the Committee under Section A.2.2 exceeds the limitation in
section 402(g) of the Code.

         A.1.10 "EXCESS 401(k) CONTRIBUTIONS" means, with respect to any Plan
Year, the excess of (a) the aggregate amount of Section 401(k) Contributions
actually paid to the Trustee on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the
Plan Year over (b) the maximum amount of those contributions permitted under the
limitations set out in the first sentence of Section A.2.3.

         A.1.11 "LIMITATION YEAR" shall mean the Plan Year. All qualified plans
maintained by any Affiliated Employer must use the same Limitation Year. If the
Limitation Year is amended to a different 12-consecutive month period, the new
Limitation Year must begin on a date within the Limitation Year in which the
amendment is made.

         A.1.12 "MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT" shall mean the lesser of (a)
$40,000 as adjusted by the Secretary of Treasury for increases in the cost of
living or (b) 100 percent of the Member's Annual Compensation for the Limitation
Year. The Annual Compensation limitation referred to in each clause (b) of the
two immediately preceding sentences shall not apply to any contribution for
medical benefits (within the meaning of section 401(h) or section 419A(f)(2) of
the Code) that is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition under section
415(l)(1) or section 419A(d)(2) of the Code. If a short Limitation Year is
created because of an amendment changing the Limitation Year to a different
12-consecutive month period, the Maximum Permissible Amount shall not exceed the
dollar limitation in effect under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the short
Limitation Year, and the denominator of which is 12. Effective January 1, 2000,
the combined limit described in section 415(e) of the Code is deleted.

         A.1.13 "PRECEDING PLAN YEAR" means the Plan Year immediately preceding
the Current Plan Year.

         A.1.14 "SECTION 401(k) CONTRIBUTIONS" means the sum of Salary Deferral
Contributions made on behalf of the Member during the Plan Year, and QNECs that
the Employer elects to have treated as section 401(k) Contributions pursuant to
section 401(k)(3)(d)(ii) of the Code.

         A.1.15 "SECTION 401(m) CONTRIBUTIONS" shall mean the sum of Employer
Matching Contributions made on behalf of the Member during the Plan Year and
other amounts that the Employer elects to have treated as Section 401(m)
Contributions pursuant to section 401(m)(3)(B) of the Code.

                                      A-2
<PAGE>

                      PART A.2 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS

         A.2.1 LIMITATIONS BASED UPON DEDUCTIBILITY AND THE MAXIMUM ALLOCATION
PERMITTED TO A MEMBER'S ACCOUNT. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, no Employer shall make any contribution that would be a nondeductible
contribution within the meaning of section 4972 of the Code or that would cause
the limitation on allocations to each Member's Account under section 415 of the
Code and Section A.4.1 to be exceeded.

         A.2.2 DOLLAR LIMITATION UPON SALARY DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS. The maximum
Salary Deferral Contribution that a Member may elect to have made on his behalf
during a calendar year may not, when added to his elective deferrals under other
plans or arrangements which are both (1) described in sections 401(k), 403(b),
408(k) and 408(p)(2) of the Code and (2) either (a) maintained by an Affiliated
Employer or (b) maintained by an entity that is not an Affiliated Employer but
the Member satisfies the notification requirements of this Section A.2.2, exceed
the amount of the dollar limitation in effect under section 402(g)(1) of the
Code for the Member's taxable year beginning in such calendar year. The Employer
shall notify the Committee no later than April 1 following the calendar year in
which Excess Deferrals are made that Excess Deferrals have been made on behalf
of a Member taking into account only elective deferrals to plans maintained by
Affiliated Employers. The Member may notify the Committee, in writing, no later
than April 1 following the calendar year in which the deferrals were made, of
the amount of deferrals the Member made to the Plan in excess of the limitation
of section 402(g) of the Code, taking into account the Plan and plans that are
not maintained by Affiliated Employers. Such amount shall be treated as an
Excess Deferral. For purposes of applying the requirements of Section A.2.3,
Excess Deferrals shall not be disregarded merely because they are Excess
Deferrals or because they are distributed in accordance with Section A.3.1.
However, Excess Deferrals made to the Plan on behalf of Non-Highly Compensated
Employees in violation of this Section A.2.2 are not to be taken into account
under Section A.2.3.

         A.2.3 LIMITATION BASED UPON ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE. The Actual
Deferral Percentage for eligible Highly Compensated Employees for the Current
Plan Year must bear a relationship to the Actual Deferral Percentage for all
other eligible Employees for the Preceding Plan Year which meets either of the
following tests:

                  (a)      the Actual Deferral Percentage of the eligible Highly
         Compensated Employees is not more than the Actual Deferral Percentage
         of all other eligible Employees multiplied by 1.25; or

                  (b)      the excess of the Actual Deferral Percentage of the
         eligible Highly Compensated Employees over that of all other eligible
         Employees is not more than two percentage points, and the Actual
         Deferral Percentage of the eligible Highly Compensated Employees is not
         more than the Actual Deferral Percentage of all other eligible
         Employees multiplied by two.

         For purposes of this test an eligible Employee is an Employee who is
directly or indirectly eligible to make Salary Deferral Contributions for all or
part of the Current Plan Year. A person who is suspended from making Salary
Deferral Contributions because he has made a

                                      A-3
<PAGE>

withdrawal is an eligible Employee. If no Salary Deferral Contributions are made
for an eligible Employee, the Actual Deferral Ratio that shall be included for
him in determining the Actual Deferral Percentage is zero. If the Plan and any
other plan or plans which include cash or deferred arrangements are considered
as one plan for purposes of section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code, the cash or
deferred arrangements included in the Plan and the other plans shall be treated
as one plan for purposes of this Section. If any Member who is a Highly
Compensated Employee is a participant in any other cash or deferred arrangements
of the Employer, when determining the deferral percentage of such Member, all
such cash or deferred arrangements are treated as one cash or deferred
arrangement.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, an individual who is not a Highly
Compensated Employee and who has not satisfied the minimum age and service
requirements of Section 410(a)(1)(A) will not be treated as an eligible Employee
for purposes of this Section A.2.3 if the Sponsor elects to apply section
410(b)(4)(B) of the Code in determining whether the Plan meets the requirements
of section 401(k)(3) of the Code.

         A Salary Deferral Contribution will be taken into account under the
Actual Deferral Percentage test of section 401(k) of the Code and this Section
for a Plan Year only if it relates to Considered Compensation that either would
have been received by the Employee in the Plan Year (but for the deferral
election) or is attributable to services performed by the Employee in the Plan
Year and would have been received by the Employee within 2 1/2 months after the
close of the Plan Year (but for the deferral election). In addition, a Section
401(k) Contribution will be taken into account under the Actual Deferral
Percentage test of section 401(k) of the Code and this Section for a Plan Year
only if it is allocated to an Employee as of a date within that Plan Year. For
this purpose a Section 401(k) Contribution is considered allocated as of a date
within a Plan Year if the allocation is not contingent on participation or
performance of services after such date and the Section 401(k) Contribution is
actually paid to the Trust no later than 12 months after the Plan Year to which
the Section 401(k) Contribution relates.

         Failure to correct Excess 401(k) Contributions by the close of the Plan
Year following the Plan Year for which they were made will cause the Plan's cash
or deferred arrangement to be disqualified for the Plan Year for which the
Excess 401(k) Contributions were made and for all subsequent years during which
they remain in the Trust. Also, the Employer will be liable for a ten percent
excise tax on the amount of Excess 401(k) Contributions unless they are
corrected within 2 1/2 months after the close of the Plan Year for which they
were made.

         A.2.4 LIMITATION BASED UPON CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE. The Contribution
Percentage for eligible Highly Compensated Employees for the Current Plan Year
must bear a relationship to the Contribution Percentage for all other eligible
Employees for the Preceding Plan Year which meets either of the following tests:

                  (a)      the Contribution Percentage of the eligible Highly
         Compensated Employees is not more than the Contribution Percentage of
         all other eligible Employees multiplied by 1.25; or

                  (b)      the excess of the Contribution Percentage of the
         eligible Highly Compensated Employees over that of all other eligible
         Employees is not more than two

                                      A-4
<PAGE>

         percentage points, and the Contribution Percentage of the eligible
         Highly Compensated Employees is not more than the Contribution
         Percentage of all other eligible Employees multiplied by two.

         For purposes of this test an eligible Employee is an Employee who is
directly or indirectly eligible to receive an allocation of Matching
Contributions for all or part of the Plan Year. Except as provided below, an
Employee who would be eligible to receive an allocation of Matching
Contributions but for his election not to participate is an eligible Employee.
An Employee who would be eligible to receive an allocation of Matching
Contributions but for the limitations on his Annual Additions imposed by section
415 of the Code or because he has made a withdrawal is an eligible Employee.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, an individual who is not a Highly
Compensated Employee and who has not satisfied the minimum age and service
requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the Code will not be treated as an
eligible Employee for purposes of this Section A.2.4 if the Sponsor elects to
apply section 410(b)(4)(B) of the Code in determining whether the Plan meets the
requirements of section 401(m)(2) of the Code.

         If no Section 401(m) Contributions are made on behalf of an eligible
Employee, the Actual Contribution Ratio that shall be included for him in
determining the Contribution Percentage is zero.

         If the Plan and any other plan or plans to which Section 401(m)
Contributions are made are considered as one plan for purposes of section
401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code, the Plan and those plans are to be treated as
one plan. The Actual Contribution Ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee who is
eligible to participate in more than one plan of an Affiliated Employer to which
employee or matching contributions are made is calculated by treating all the
plans in which the Employee is eligible to participate as one plan. However,
plans that are not permitted to be aggregated under Regulation section
1.410(m)-1(b)(3)(ii) are not aggregated for this purpose.

         A Matching Contribution will be taken into account under this Section
for a Plan Year only if (1) it is allocated to the Employee's Account as of a
date within the Plan Year, (2) it is paid to the Trust no later than the end of
the 12-month period beginning after the close of the Plan Year, and (3) it is
made on behalf of an Employee on account of his Salary Deferral Contributions
for the Plan Year.

         At the election of the Employer, a Member's Salary Deferral
Contributions and QNECs made on behalf of the Member during the Plan Year shall
be treated as Section 401(m) Contributions that are Matching Contributions
provided that the conditions set forth in Regulation section 1.401(m)-1(b)(5)
are satisfied. Salary Deferral Contributions may not be treated as Matching
Contributions for purposes of the contribution percentage test set forth in this
Section unless such contributions, including those taken into account for
purposes of the test set forth in this Section, satisfy the actual deferral
percentage test set forth in Section A.2.3. Moreover, Salary Deferral
Contributions and QNECs may not be taken into account for purposes of the test
set forth in this Section to the extent that such contributions are taken into
account in determining whether any other contributions satisfy the actual
deferral percentage test set forth in

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

Section A.2.3. Finally, Salary Deferral Contributions and QNECs may be taken
into account for purposes of the test set forth in this Section only if they are
allocated to the Employee's Account as of a date within the Plan Year being
tested within the meaning of Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4).

         Failure to correct Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions by the close
of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which they were made will cause the
Plan to fail to be qualified for the Plan Year for which the Excess Aggregate
401(m) Contributions were made and for all subsequent years during which they
remain in the Trust. Also, the Employer will be liable for a ten percent excise
tax on the amount of Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions unless they are
corrected within 2 1/2 months after the close of the Plan Year for which they
were made.

           PART A.3 CORRECTION PROCEDURES FOR ERRONEOUS CONTRIBUTIONS

         A.3.1 EXCESS DEFERRAL FAIL SAFE PROVISION. As soon as practical after
the close of each Plan Year, the Committee shall determine if there would be any
Excess Deferrals. If there would be an Excess Deferral by a Member, the Excess
Deferral as adjusted by any earnings or losses, will be distributed from the
Plan to the Member no later than April 15 following the Member's taxable year in
which the Excess Deferral was made. The income allocable to the Excess Deferrals
for the taxable year of the Member shall be determined by multiplying the income
for the taxable year of the Member allocable to Salary Deferral Contributions by
a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the amount of the Excess Deferrals
made on behalf of the Member for the taxable year. The denominator of the
fraction is the Member's total Salary Deferral Account balance as of the
beginning of the taxable year plus the Member's Salary Deferral Contributions
for the taxable year.

         A.3.2 ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE FAIL SAFE PROVISION. As soon as
practicable after the close of each Plan Year, the Committee shall determine
whether the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees
would exceed the limitation set forth in Section A.2.3. If the limitation would
be exceeded for a Plan Year, before the close of the following Plan Year (a) the
amount of Excess 401(k) Contributions for that Plan Year (and any income
allocable to those contributions as calculated in the specific manner required
by Section A.3.5) shall be distributed.

         The amount of Excess 401(k) Contributions to be distributed shall be
determined in the following manner:

         First, the Committee will determine the aggregate amount of the Excess
401(k) Contributions as follows. The Committee will determine how much the
Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual
Deferral Ratio would have to be reduced to satisfy the Actual Deferral
Percentage Test or cause such Actual Deferred Ratio to equal the Actual Deferral
Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Deferred
Ratio. If a lesser reduction would enable the Plan to satisfy the Actual
Deferral Percentage Test, only the lesser reduction may be made. Second, this
process is repeated until the Actual Deferral Percentage Test is satisfied. The
amount of Excess 401(k) Contributions is equal to the sum of these hypothetical
reductions multiplied, in each case, by the Highly Compensated Employee's Annual
Compensation.

                                      A-6
<PAGE>

         Then, the total amount of Excess 401(k) Contributions shall be
distributed on the basis of the respective amounts attributable to each Highly
Compensated Employee. The Highly Compensated Employees subject to the actual
distribution are determined using the "dollar leveling method." The Salary
Deferral Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the greatest
dollar amount of Salary Deferral Contributions and other contributions treated
as Section 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year are reduced by the amount
required to cause that Highly Compensated Employee's Salary Deferral
Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Salary Deferral Contributions
and other contributions treated as Section 401(k) Contributions for the Plan
Year of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount.
This amount is then distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee with the
highest dollar amount. However, if a lesser deduction, when added to the total
dollar amount already distributed under this Section A.3.2 would equal the total
Excess 401(k) Contributions, the lesser reduction shall be distributed. This
process shall be continued until the amount of the Excess 401(k) Contributions
have been distributed.

         Any distributions of the Excess 401(k) Contributions for any Plan Year
are to be made to Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of
contributions by, or on behalf of, each Highly Compensated Employee. The amount
of Excess 401(k) Contributions to be distributed for any Plan Year must be
reduced by any excess Salary Deferral Contributions previously distributed for
the taxable year ending in the same Plan Year. Any Employer Matching
Contribution associated with an Excess 401(k) Contribution that has been
distributed to a Highly Compensated Employee under this Section shall be
forfeited. Forfeitures of Employer Matching Contributions under this Section
shall be allocated to Members who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees as if
such Contributions were additional Employer Matching Contributions for the Plan
Year.

         A.3.3 CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE FAIL SAFE PROVISION. If the limitation
set forth in Section A.2.3 would be exceeded for any Plan Year any one or more
of the following corrective actions shall be taken before the close of the
following Plan Year as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion the
amount of the Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions for that Plan Year (and any
income allocable to those Contributions as calculated in the manner set forth in
Section A.3.5) shall be either distributed, or forfeited to the extent they are
not vested. Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions shall be
allocated to Members who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees as if such
Contributions were additional Employer Matching Contributions for the Plan Year.

         The amount of Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions to be distributed
shall be determined in the following manner:

         First, the Committee will determine the aggregate amount of Excess
Aggregate 401(k) Contributions as follows. The Committee will determine how much
the Actual Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the
highest Actual Contribution Ratio would have to be reduced to satisfy the Actual
Contribution Percentage Test or cause such Actual Contribution Ratio to equal
the Actual Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next
highest Actual Contribution Ratio. If a lesser reduction would enable the Plan
to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test, only this lesser reduction
may be made. Second, this process is repeated until the Actual Contribution
Percentage Test is satisfied. The

                                      A-7
<PAGE>

amount of Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions is equal to the sum of these
hypothetical reductions multiplied, in each case, by the Highly Compensated
Employee's Annual Compensation.

         Then, the total amount of Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions shall
be distributed on the basis of the respective amounts attributable to each
Highly Compensated Employee. The Highly Compensated Employees subject to the
actual distribution are determined using the "dollar leveling method." The
Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the greatest
dollar amount of Matching Contributions and other contributions treated as
Section 401(m) Contributions for the Plan Year are reduced by the amount
required to cause that Highly Compensated Employee's Matching Contributions and
other contributions treated as Section 401(m) Contributions for the Plan Year to
equal the dollar amount of Matching Contributions and other contributions
treated as Section 401(m) Contributions for the Plan Year of the Highly
Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount. This amount is then
distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount.
However, if a lesser reduction, when added to the total dollar amount already
distributed under this Section A.3.3., would equal the total Excess Aggregate
401(n) Contributions, the lesser reduction amount shall be distributed. This
process shall be continued until the amount of the Excess Aggregate 401(m)
Contributions has been distributed.

         The corrective actions taken under this Section A.3.3 must satisfy the
requirements of section 401(a)(4) of the Code. After correction, each level of
Employer Matching Contributions must be currently and effectively available to a
group of employees that satisfies the minimum coverage requirements of section
410(b) of the Code. A method under which employee contributions are distributed
to highly compensated employees to the extent necessary to meet the requirements
of section 401(m)(2) while matching contributions attributable to such employee
contributions remain allocated to the employee's account will not meet the
requirement of section 401(a)(4). Accordingly, any amount of Employer Matching
Contributions, whether vested or not, shall be forfeited to the Plan if it has
been determined that such Contributions must be distributed under the dollar
leveling method described above and that the distribution of such Contributions
would cause the corrective actions taken under this Section A.3.3 to not meet
the requirements of section 401(a)(4). The forfeitures of Employer Matching
Contributions in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be allocated to
Members who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees as if such Contributions were
additional Employer Matching Contributions for the Plan Year.

         A.3.4 ALTERNATIVE LIMITATION FAIL SAFE. As soon as practicable after
the close of each Plan Year, the Committee shall determine whether the
alternative limitation would be exceeded. If the limitation would be exceeded
for any Plan Year, before the close of the following Plan Year the Actual
Deferral Percentage or Contribution Percentage of the eligible Highly
Compensated Employees, or a combination of both, shall be reduced by
distributions made in the manner described in the Regulations. These
distributions shall be in addition to and not in lieu of distributions required
for Excess 401(k) Contributions and Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions.

         A.3.5 INCOME ALLOCABLE TO EXCESS 401(k) CONTRIBUTIONS AND EXCESS
AGGREGATE 401(m) CONTRIBUTIONS. The income allocable to Excess 401(k)
Contributions for the Plan Year

                                      A-8
<PAGE>

shall be determined by multiplying the income for the Plan Year allocable to
Section 401(k) Contributions by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall
be the amount of Excess 401(k) Contributions made on behalf of the Member for
the Plan Year. The denominator of the fraction shall be the Member's total
Account balance attributable to Section 401(k) Contributions as of the beginning
of the Plan Year plus the Member's Section 401(k) Contributions for the Plan
Year. The income allocable to Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions for a Plan
Year shall be determined by multiplying the income for the Plan Year allocable
to Section 401(m) Contributions by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction
shall be the amount of Excess Aggregate 401(m) Contributions made on behalf of
the Member for the Plan Year. The denominator of the fraction shall be the
Member's total Account balance attributable to Section 401(m) Contributions as
of the beginning of the Plan Year plus the Member's Section 401(m) Contributions
for the Plan Year.

                       PART A.4 LIMITATION ON ALLOCATIONS

         A.4.1 BASIC LIMITATION ON ALLOCATIONS. The Annual Additions which may
be credited to a Member's Account under the Plan for any Limitation Year will
not exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount reduced by the Annual Additions
credited to a Member's Account for the same Limitation Year under any other
qualified defined contribution plans maintained by any Affiliated Employer. If
the Annual Additions with respect to the Member under such other qualified
defined contribution plans are less than the Maximum Permissible Amount and the
Employer Contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the
Member's Account under the Plan would cause the Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year to exceed this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated
under the Plan will be reduced so that the Annual Additions under all qualified
defined contribution plans maintained by any Affiliated Employer for the
Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount. If the Annual
Additions with respect to the Member under such other qualified defined
contribution plans in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the Maximum
Permissible Amount, no amount will be contributed or allocated to the Member's
Account under the Plan for the Limitation Year.

         A.4.2 ESTIMATION OF MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT. Prior to determining
the Member's actual Annual Compensation for the Limitation Year, the Employer
may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount on the basis of a reasonable
estimation of the Member's Annual Compensation for such Limitation Year,
uniformly determined for all Members similarly situated. As soon as is
administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the Maximum
Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year shall be determined on the basis of
the Member's actual Annual Compensation for such Limitation Year.

         A.4.3 ATTRIBUTION OF EXCESS AMOUNTS. If a Member's Annual Additions
under the Plan and all other qualified defined contribution plans maintained by
an Affiliated Employer result in an Excess Amount, to the maximum extent
permissible by law, the Excess Amount shall be attributed to the Plan.

         A.4.4 TREATMENT OF EXCESS AMOUNTS. If an Excess Amount attributed to
the Plan is held or contributed as a result of or because of (i) the allocation
of forfeitures, (ii) reasonable error in estimating a Member's Considered
Compensation, (iii) reasonable error in calculating the maximum Salary Deferral
Contribution that may be made with respect to a Member under

                                      A-9
<PAGE>

section 415 of the Code or (iv) any other facts and circumstances which the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue finds to be justified, the Excess Amount shall
be reduced as follows:

                  (a)      First, the Excess Amount shall be reduced to the
         extent necessary by distributing to the Member all Salary Deferral
         Contributions together with their earnings. These distributed amounts
         are disregarded for purposes of the testing and limitations contained
         in this Appendix A.

                  (b)      Second, if the Member is still employed by the
         Employer at the end of the Limitation Year, then such Excess Amounts
         shall not be distributed to the Member, but shall be reallocated to a
         suspense account and shall be reapplied to reduce future Employer
         Contributions (including any allocation of forfeitures) under the Plan
         for such Member in the next Limitation Year, and for each succeeding
         Limitation Year, if necessary.

                  (c)      If, after application of paragraph (b) of this
         Section, an Excess Amount still exists, and the Member is not still
         employed by the Employer at the end of the Limitation Year, then such
         Excess Amounts in the Member's Account shall not be distributed to the
         Member, but shall be reallocated to a suspense account and shall be
         reapplied to reduce future Employer Contributions (including allocation
         of any forfeitures), for all remaining Members in the next Limitation
         Year and each succeeding Limitation Year if necessary.

                  (d)      If a suspense account is in existence at any time
         during the Limitation Year pursuant to this Section, it will not
         participate in the allocation of the Trust's investment gains and
         losses. If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a
         particular Limitation Year, all amounts in the suspense account must be
         allocated and reallocated to Members' Accounts before any Employer
         Contribution may be made to the Plan for that Limitation Year. Excess
         Amounts may not be distributed to Members or former Members. If the
         Plan is terminated while a suspense account described in this Section
         is in existence, the amount in such suspense account shall revert to
         the Employer(s) to which it is attributable.

                             TOP-HEAVY REQUIREMENTS

                              PART B.1 DEFINITIONS

         DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following words and phrases have the
meaning attributed to them below:

         B.1.1 "AGGREGATE ACCOUNTS" means the total of all Account balances
derived from Employer Contributions and Rollover Contributions.

         B.1.2 "AGGREGATION GROUP" means (a) each plan that is qualified under
section 401(a) of the Code and is maintained by any Affiliated Employer in which
a Key Employee is a Member and (b) each other plan of any Affiliated Employer
which enables any plan in (a) to meet the requirements of either section
401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code. Any Employer may treat a plan not required to be
included in the Aggregation Group as being a part of the group if the group
would continue to meet the requirements of section 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code
with that plan being taken into account.

         B.1.3 "DETERMINATION DATE" means for a given Plan Year the last day of
the preceding Plan Year.

         B.1.4 "KEY EMPLOYEE" means an Employee or former Employee (including a
deceased Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year is (a) an officer of any
Affiliated Employer having Annual Compensation greater than $130,000.00 (as
adjusted by the Secretary of Treasury from time to time for increases in the
cost of living), (b) a Five Percent Owner of any Affiliated Employer, treated
separately, or (c) a one percent owner of any Affiliated Employer, treated
separately, having Annual Compensation greater than $150,000.00. For this
purpose no more than fifty (50) employees or, if lesser, the greater of three
(3) employees or ten percent (10%) of the employees shall be treated as
officers.

         For purposes of determining the number of officers taken into account,
the following employees shall be excluded: (1) employees who have not completed
six (6) months of vesting service, (2) employees who normally work less than
seventeen and one-half (17-1/2) hours per week, (3) employees who normally work
not more than six (6) months during any year, (4) employees who have not
attained the age of twenty-one (21), and (5) except to the extent provided in
Regulations, employees who are 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 an Affiliated Employer. Section
416(i) of the Code shall be used to determine percentage of ownership.

         The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance
with section 416(i) of the Code and applicable Regulations.

         B.1.5 "NON-KEY EMPLOYEE" means any Employee who is not a Key Employee.

                                      B-1
<PAGE>

         B.1.6 "TOP-HEAVY PLAN" means any plan which has been determined to be
top-heavy under the test described in Appendix B of the Plan.

                              PART B.2 APPLICATION

         B.2.1 APPLICATION. The requirements described in this Appendix B shall
apply to each Plan Year that the Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan.

         B.2.2 TOP-HEAVY TEST. If on the Determination Date the Aggregate
Accounts of Key Employees in the Plan exceed 60 percent of the Aggregate
Accounts of all Employees in the Plan, the Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan for
the Plan Year being tested. In addition, if the Plan is required to be included
in an Aggregation Group and that group is a top-heavy group, the Plan shall be
treated as a Top-Heavy Plan. An Aggregation Group is a top-heavy group if on the
Determination Date the sum of (a) the present value of the cumulative accrued
benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in the Aggregation
Group which contains the Plan, plus (b) the total of all of the accounts of Key
Employees under all defined contribution plans included in the Aggregation Group
(which contains the Plan) is more than 60 percent of a similar sum determined
for all employees covered in the Aggregation Group which contains the Plan.

         In applying the above tests, the following rules shall apply:

                  (a)      in determining the present value of the accumulated
         accrued benefits for any Employee or the amount in the account of any
         Employee, the value or amount shall be increased by all distributions
         made to or for the benefit of the Employee under the Plan after his
         Separation From Service and during the one-year period ending on the
         Determination Date;

                  (b)      in determining the present value of the accumulated
         accrued benefits for any Employee or the amount in the account of any
         Employee, the value or amount shall be increased by all distributions
         made to or for the benefit of the Employee under the Plan prior to his
         Separation From Service and during the five-year period ending on the
         Determination Date;

                  (c)      all rollover contributions made by the Employee to
         the Plan shall not be considered by the Plan for either test;

                  (d)      if an Employee is a Non-Key Employee under the Plan
         for the Plan Year but was a Key Employee under the Plan for a prior
         Plan Year, his Account shall not be considered; and

                  (e)      benefits shall not be taken into account in
         determining the top-heavy ratio for any Employee who has not performed
         services for the Employer during the last one-year period ending upon
         the Determination Date.

         B.2.3 VESTING RESTRICTIONS IF PLAN BECOMES TOP-HEAVY. If a Member has
at least one Hour of Service during a Plan Year when the Plan is a Top-Heavy
Plan, he shall either vest under each of the normal vesting provisions of the
Plan or under the following vesting schedule, whichever is more favorable:

If the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan, this requirement shall no longer
apply. After that date, the normal vesting provisions of the Plan shall be
applicable to all subsequent Contributions by the Employer.

         B.2.4 MINIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS IF PLAN BECOMES TOP-HEAVY. If the Plan is a
Top-Heavy Plan and the normal allocation of the Employer Contribution and
forfeitures is less than three percent of any Non-Key Employee Member's Annual
Compensation, the Committee, without regard to the normal allocation procedures,
shall allocate the Employer Contribution and the forfeitures among the Members
who are in the employ of the Employer at the end of the Plan Year in proportion
to each Member's Annual Compensation as compared to the total Annual
Compensation of all Members for that Plan Year until each Non-Key Employee
Member has had an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the highest rate of
Contribution applicable to any Key Employee, or (ii) three percent of his Annual
Compensation allocated to his Account. At that time, any more Employer
Contributions or forfeitures shall be allocated under the normal allocation
procedures described earlier in the Plan. Salary Deferral Contributions made on
behalf of Key Employees are included in determining the highest rate of Employer
Contributions. Salary Deferral Contributions made on behalf of Non-Key Employees
are not included for that purpose. Amounts that may be treated as Section 401(k)
Contributions made on behalf of Non-Key Employees may not be included in
determining the minimum contribution required under this Section to the extent
that they are treated as Section 401(k) Contributions for purposes of the Actual
Deferral Percentage test.

         In applying this restriction, the following rules shall apply:

                  (a)      Each Employee who is eligible for membership (without
         regard to whether he has made mandatory contributions, if any are
         required, or whether his compensation is less than a stated amount)
         shall be entitled to receive an allocation under this Section; and

                  (b)      All defined contribution plans required to be
         included in the Aggregation Group shall be treated as one plan for
         purposes of meeting the three percent maximum; this required
         aggregation shall not apply if the Plan is also required to be included
         in an Aggregation Group which includes a defined benefit plan and the
         Plan enables that defined benefit plan to meet the requirements of
         sections 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.

         B.2.5 DISREGARD OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. If the Plan is a Top-Heavy
Plan, it must meet the vesting and benefit requirements described in this
Article without taking into account contributions or benefits under Chapter 2 of
the Code (relating to the tax on self-employment income), Chapter 21 of the Code
(relating to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act), Title II of the Social
Security Act, or any other Federal or State law.

                           ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         C.1      APPOINTMENT, TERM, RESIGNATION, AND REMOVAL. The Board shall
appoint a Committee of not less than two persons, the members of which shall
serve until their resignation, death, or removal. The Sponsor shall notify the
Trustee in writing of its composition from time to time. Any member of the
Committee may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to
the Sponsor. Any member of the Committee may be removed by the Board, with or
without cause. Vacancies in the Committee arising by resignation, death,
removal, or otherwise shall be filled by such persons as may be appointed by the
Board.

         C.2      POWERS. The Committee shall have exclusive responsibility for
the administration of the Plan, according to the terms and provisions of this
document, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish such purposes,
including, but not by way of limitation, the right, power, and authority:

                  (a) to make rules and regulations for the administration of
         the Plan which are not inconsistent with the terms and provisions
         thereof, provided such rules and regulations are evidenced in writing;

                  (b) to construe all terms, provisions, conditions, and
         limitations of the Plan; and its construction thereof made in good
         faith and without discrimination in favor of or against any Member or
         former Member shall be final and conclusive on all parties at interest;

                  (c) to correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile
         any inconsistency which may appear in the Plan in such manner and to
         such extent as it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect
         for the greatest benefit of all parties at interest, and its judgment
         in such matters shall be final and conclusive as to all parties at
         interest;

                  (d) to select, employ, and compensate from time to time such
         consultants, actuaries, accountants, attorneys, and other agents and
         employees as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the
         proper and efficient administration of the Plan, and any agent, firm,
         or employee so selected by the Committee may be a disqualified person,
         but only if the requirements of section 4975(d) of the Code have been
         met;

                  (e) to resolve all questions relating to the eligibility of
         Employees to become Members, and to determine the period of Active
         Service and the amount of Considered Compensation upon which the
         benefits of each Member shall be calculated;

                  (f) to resolve all controversies relating to the
         administration of the Plan, including but not limited to (1)
         differences of opinion arising between the Employer and a Member or
         former Member, and (2) any questions it deems advisable to determine in
         order to promote the uniform and nondiscriminatory administration of
         the Plan for the benefit of all parties at interest;

                                      C-1
<PAGE>

                  (g) to direct and instruct or to appoint an investment manager
         or managers which would have the power to direct and instruct the
         Trustee in all matters relating to the preservation, investment,
         reinvestment, management, and disposition of the Trust; provided,
         however, that the Committee shall have no authority that would prevent
         the Trustee from being an "agent independent of the issuer," as that
         term is defined in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934, at any time that the Trustee's failure to
         maintain such status would result in the Sponsor or any other person
         engaging in a "manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance" under
         the provisions of Rule 10b-6 of such Act;

                  (h) to direct and instruct the Trustee in all matters relating
         to the payment of Plan benefits and to determine a Member's or former
         Member's entitlement to a benefit should he appeal a denial of his
         claim for a benefit or any portion thereof; and

                  (i) to delegate such of its clerical and recordation duties
         under the Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable for the proper and
         efficient administration of the Plan.

         C.3      ORGANIZATION. The Committee shall select from among its
members a chairman, who shall preside at all of its meetings, and shall select a
secretary, without regard as to whether that person is a member of the
Committee, who shall keep all records, documents, and data pertaining to its
supervision of the administration of the Plan.

         C.4      QUORUM AND MAJORITY ACTION. A majority of the members of the
Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the
vote of a majority of the members present at any meeting will decide any
question brought before that meeting. In addition, the Committee may decide any
question by a vote, taken without a meeting, of a majority of its members.

         C.5      SIGNATURES. The chairman, the secretary, and any one or more
of the members of the Committee to which the Committee has delegated the power,
shall each, severally, have the power to execute any document on behalf of the
Committee, and to execute any certificate or other written evidence of the
action of the Committee. The Trustee, after being notified of any such
delegation of power in writing, shall thereafter accept and may rely upon any
document executed by such member or members as representing the action of the
Committee until the Committee files with the Trustee a written revocation of
that delegation of power.

         C.6      DISQUALIFICATION OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS. A member of the
Committee who is also a Member of the Plan shall not vote or act upon any matter
relating solely to himself, unless he is the sole member of the Committee.

         C.7      DISCLOSURE TO MEMBERS. The Committee shall make available to
each Member, former Member, and Beneficiary for his examination such records,
documents, and other data as are required under ERISA, but only at reasonable
times during business hours. No Member, former Member, or Beneficiary shall have
the right to examine any data or records reflecting the compensation paid to any
other Member, former Member, or Beneficiary, and the Committee shall not be
required to make any data or records available other than those required by
ERISA.

                                      C-2
<PAGE>

         C.8      STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE. The Committee and each of its members
shall use the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in conducting his business as the administrator of the Plan;
shall, when exercising its power to direct investments, diversify the
investments of the Plan so as to minimize the risk of large losses, unless under
the circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so; and shall otherwise act in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan and ERISA.

         C.9      LIABILITY OF COMMITTEE AND LIABILITY INSURANCE. No member of
the Committee shall be liable for any act or omission of any other member of the
Committee, the Trustee, any investment manager, or any Member who directs the
investment of his Account or other agent appointed by the Committee except to
the extent required by the terms of ERISA, and any other applicable state or
federal law, which liability cannot be waived. No member of the Committee shall
be liable for any act or omission on his own part except to the extent required
by the terms of ERISA, and any other applicable state or federal law, which
liability cannot be waived. In this connection, each provision hereof is
severable and if any provision is found to be void as against public policy, it
shall not affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

         Further, it is specifically provided that the Trustee may, at the
direction of the Committee, purchase out of the Trust assets hereof insurance
for the members of the Committee and any other fiduciaries appointed by the
Committee, and for the Trust itself to cover liability or losses occurring by
reason of the act or omission of any one or more of the members of the Committee
or any other fiduciary appointed by them under the Plan, provided such insurance
permits recourse by the insurer against the members of the Committee or the
other fiduciaries concerned in the case of a breach of a fiduciary obligation by
one or more members of the Committee or other fiduciary covered thereby.

         C.10     BONDING. No member of the Committee shall be required to give
bond for the performance of his duties hereunder unless required by a law which
cannot be waived.

         C.11     COMPENSATION. The Committee shall serve without compensation
for their services, but shall be reimbursed by the Employers for all expenses
properly and actually incurred in the performance of their duties under the Plan
unless the Employers elect to have such expenses paid out of the Trust assets.

         C.12     PERSONS SERVING IN DUAL FIDUCIARY ROLES. Any person, group of
persons, corporations, firm, or other entity may serve in more than one
fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan, including the ability to serve both
as a successor trustee and as a member of the Committee.

         C.13     ADMINISTRATOR. For all purposes of ERISA, the administrator of
the Plan within the meaning of ERISA shall be the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall
have final responsibility for compliance with all reporting and disclosure
requirements imposed with respect to the Plan under any federal or state law, or
any regulations promulgated thereunder.

         C.14     NAMED FIDUCIARY. The members of the Committee shall be the
"named fiduciary" for purposes of section 402(a)(1) of ERISA, and as such shall
have the authority to

                                      C-3

control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan, except to the
extent such authority and control is allocated or delegated to other parties
pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

         C.15     STANDARD OF JUDICIAL REVIEW OF COMMITTEE ACTIONS. The
Committee has full and absolute discretion in the exercise of each and every
aspect of its authority under the Plan, including without limitation, the
authority to determine any person's right to benefits under the Plan, the
correct amount and form of any such benefits; the authority to decide any
appeal; the authority to review and correct the actions of any prior
administrative committee; and all of the rights, powers, and authorities
specified in this Appendix and elsewhere in the Plan. Notwithstanding any
provision of law or any explicit or implicit provision of this document or any
action taken, or ruling or decision made by the Committee in the exercise of any
of its powers and authorities under the Plan, these will be final and conclusive
as to all parties other than the Sponsor or Trustee, including without
limitation all Members, former Members, and Beneficiaries, regardless of whether
the Committee or one or more members thereof may have an actual or potential
conflict of interest with respect to the subject matter of such action, ruling,
or decision. No such final action, ruling, or decision of the Committee will be
subject to de novo review in any judicial proceeding; and no such final action,
ruling, or decision of the Committee may be set aside unless it is held to have
been arbitrary and capricious by a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction
with respect to the issue.

         C.16     INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE BY THE SPONSOR. The Sponsor shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Committee, the Committee members, and any
persons to whom the Committee has allocated or delegated its responsibilities in
accordance with the provisions hereof, as well as any other fiduciary who is
also an officer, director, or Employee of an Employer, and hold each of them
harmless from and against all claims, loss, damages, expense, and liability
arising from their responsibilities in connection with the administration of the
Plan which is not otherwise paid or reimbursed by insurance, unless the same
shall result from their own willful misconduct.

                                   APPENDIX D

                                     FUNDING

         D.1      BENEFITS PROVIDED SOLELY BY TRUST. All benefits payable under
the Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from the Trust, and the Employer
assumes no liability or responsibility therefor.

         D.2      FUNDING OF PLAN. The Plan shall be funded by one or more
separate Trusts. If more than one Trust is used, each Trust shall be designated
by the name of the Plan followed by a number assigned by the Committee at the
time the Trust is established.

         D.3      INCORPORATION OF TRUST. Each Trust is a part of the Plan. All
rights or benefits which accrue to a person under the Plan shall be subject also
to the terms of the agreements creating the Trust or Trusts and any amendments
to them which are not in direct conflict with the Plan.

         D.4      AUTHORITY OF TRUSTEE. Each Trustee shall have full title and
legal ownership of the assets in the separate Trust which, from time to time, is
in his separate possession. No other Trustee shall have joint title to or joint
legal ownership of any asset in one of the other Trusts held by another Trustee.
Each Trustee shall be governed separately by the trust agreement entered into
between the Employer and that Trustee and the terms of the Plan without regard
to any other agreement entered into between any other Trustee and the Employer
as a part of the Plan.

         D.5      ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITY. To the fullest extent permitted
under section 405 of ERISA, the agreements entered into between the Employer and
each of the Trustees shall be interpreted to allocate to each Trustee its
specific responsibilities, obligations and duties so as to relieve all other
Trustees from liability either through the agreement, Plan or ERISA, for any act
of any other Trustee which results in a loss to the Plan because of his act or
failure to act.

         D.6      TRUSTEE'S FEES AND EXPENSES. The Trustee shall receive for its
services as Trustee hereunder the compensation which from time to time may be
agreed upon by the Sponsor and the Trustee. All of such compensation, together
with the expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the administration
of this Trust, including fees for legal services rendered to the Trustee, all
other charges and disbursements of the Trustee, and all other expenses of the
Plan shall be charged to and deducted from the Trust assets, unless the Sponsor
elects in writing to have any part or all of such compensation, expenses,
charges, and disbursements paid directly by the Sponsor. The Trustee shall
deduct from and charge against the Trust assets any and all taxes paid by it
which may be levied or assessed upon or in respect of the Trust hereunder or the
income thereof, and shall equitably allocate the same among the several Members
and former Members.
