                                    have been credited to an Employee, but for
                                    the fact that the Employee was absent from
                                    work:  (A) by reason of the pregnancy of
                                    such Employee; (B) by reason of the birth

subsections of this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference and are not

"here" shall mean and refer to the entire Plan, and not to any particular
provision or section.

2.1      Conditions of Eligibility

                  Each Eligible Employee shall become a Covered Employee on the

                           Eligible Employee, he shall become a Covered Employee
                           as of the date of his reemployment and shall be
                           eligible to participate in the Employer's

                           again becomes a Covered Employee.

                  (b)      If an Employee who was not a Covered Employee incurs
                           a break in Service and is thereafter reemployed, he
                           shall become a Covered Employee from the later of the
                           date on

                           which he is reemployed or the date on which he meets
                           the requirements set forth in Section 2.1.
                           The years of Service credited to a reemployed
                           Employee shall include the years of Service credited
                           to him prior to his Break in Service unless:

                           (i)      he does not complete at least 1000 Hours of
                                    Service during the 12 consecutive month
                                    period commencing on his reemployment date;
                                    or

                           (ii)     in the case of an Employee who had no vested
                                    interest in the Plan prior to his Break in
                                    Service, such Employee incurred at least
                                    five consecutive one-year Breaks in Service
                                    and the number of such Employee's
                                    consecutive one-year Breaks in Service
                                    equals or exceeds the number of years of
                                    Service credited to him prior to his Break
                                    in Service, without regard to any years of
                                    Service forfeited as a result of a prior
                                    Break in Service.

                  (c)      The Employer shall notify the Committee of the
                           reemployment of any former Participant within ten
                           days following the date thereof. Upon receipt of such
                           notice of reemployment, the Committee shall notify
                           the Trustee to suspend distributions to such
                           Participant until further notice, and any remaining
                           balances held with respect to such reemployed
                           Participant shall continue to share in the earnings
                           and losses of the Trust Fund until they again become
                           distributable pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

2.3      Loss of Eligibility with Continued Employment

                  The account balances of a Participant who ceases to be an
Eligible Employee, but who continues in the active employ of the Employer or a
Related Company, shall be held in trust until they become distributable on
account of such former Participant's ceasing to be employed by the Employer or
Related Company. If such Participant shall again become an Eligible Employee, he
shall become a Covered Employee on the date on which he regains his eligibility,
and shall be eligible to

                                      -10-

participate in the Employer's contributions to the Plan from the first day of
the calendar quarter next following the date on which he again becomes a
Covered Employee.

                                    SECTION 3

                                  Contributions

3.1      Employer Contributions

                  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 3 and in
Section 9.1, the Employer shall contribute to the Plan on behalf of each Covered
Employee an amount equal to the "Salary Reduction Amount" (as defined in Section
3.2) elected by the Covered Employee for each Plan Year. The Employer's
contributions shall be paid to the Trustee not later than the due date
(including extensions) for filing the Employer's federal income tax return for
its taxable year ending with or within the Plan Year with respect to which such
contribution is made. Employer contributions shall be credited to the
Participants' Employer Contribution Accounts.

3.2      Salary Reduction Amounts

                  Each Covered Employee may elect, on forms provided by and
flied with the Committee, to have an amount contributed to the Plan on his
behalf by the Employer which is not more than the maximum amount. For the Plan
Year beginning January 1, 1986, the "maximum amount" shall be 10% of the
Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
no event shall a Participant's "maximum amount" for any Plan Year exceed the
limitation described in Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code. For each
Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1987, the "maximum amount" shall be
15% of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year. The amounts so elected
(the "Salary Reduction Amounts") shall be treated as Employer contributions made
to the Plan on behalf of such Covered Employee and shall be applied to reduce
such Covered Employee's Compensation (except for the purpose of determining the
Covered Employee's Salary Reduction Amount) for the Plan Year with respect to
which such contribution is made. An election made by a Covered Employee pursuant
to this Section 3.2 shall take effect on the January 1st or July 1st next
following the date on which it is received by the Committee, and may be revoked
or revised by the Covered Employee, in writing delivered to the Committee, as of
any subsequent January 1st or July 1st. In addition, a Participant may revoke
such an election as of the first day of any calendar quarter if: (1) in the
determination of the Committee, the continuation of such election would result
in financial hardship to the Participant; or (2) the Participant has obtained a
loan or a hardship withdrawal from the Plan pursuant to

                                      -11-

<page>

Section 4 hereof. Should the Committee at any time determine that the Salary
Reduction Amount elected by a Covered Employee exceeds the limitations found in
Section 3.3(c) hereof, any excess (and any earnings allocable thereto) shall be
distributed to him in cash as soon as practicable after such excess is
discovered, but in no event later than the March 15 following the close of the
Plan Year in which such excess Salary Reduction Amount was contributed.

3.3      Limitations Applicable to Highly Compensated Employees

                  (a)      If the contributions that would be made under Section
                           3.1 on behalf of "Highly Compensated Employees" would
                           exceed the deferral percentage limitation for any
                           Plan Year as described in paragraph (c) below, the
                           Salary Reduction Amounts elected by the Highly
                           Compensated Employees for such Plan Year shall be
                           reduced as provided in paragraph (c).

                  (b)      For the purposes of this Section 3.3:

                           (i)      the term "Highly Compensated Employee" means
                                    any Covered Employee who during the current
                                    or immediately preceding Plan Year:

                                    (A)     was a five percent or greater owner
                                            of the Employer or any Related
                                            Company;

                                    (B)     received Compensation of more than
                                            $75,000 (or such greater amount as
                                            may be determined by the
                                            Commissioner of Internal Revenue for
                                            that Plan Year) from the Employer or
                                            any Related Company;

                                    (C)     received Compensation of more than
                                            $50,000 (or such greater amount as
                                            may be determined by the
                                            Commissioner of Internal Revenue for
                                            that Plan Year) from the Employer or
                                            any

                                      -12-

                                            Related Company and was in the
                                            top-paid 20 percent of Employees; or

                                    (D)     was an officer of the Employer or
                                            any Related Company receiving
                                            Compensation in excess of 50 percent
                                            of the limitation in effect for that
                                            year under Internal Revenue Code
                                            415(b)(1)(A); provided that for
                                            purposes of this subparagraph
                                            (D), no more than 50 Employees (or
                                            if lesser, the greater of three
                                            Employees or ten percent of the
                                            Employees) shall be treated as
                                            officers.

                                    If a Covered Employee meets the
                                    qualifications set forth in subparagraph
                                    (A), (B), or (C) next above for the current
                                    Plan Year, but did not meet any of such
                                    qualifications for the preceding Plan Year,
                                    he shall not be deemed a Highly Compensated
                                    Employee under this subparagraph unless he
                                    is one of the 100 Employees paid the highest
                                    Compensation during the current Plan Year.

                           (ii)     The term "Average Deferral Percentage" of a
                                    group of Covered Employees for a Plan Year
                                    means the average of the deferral ratios
                                    (determined separately for each Covered
                                    Employee in such group) of (1) to (2), where
                                    (1) equals the Salary Reduction Amounts
                                    elected by and contributed on behalf of such
                                    Covered Employee for such Plan Year, and
                                    (2) equals the Covered Employee's
                                    Compensation for such Plan Year.

                  (c)      The Average Deferral Percentage of the Highly
                           Compensated Employees for any Plan Year may not
                           exceed the greater of:

                                      -13-

<page>

                           (i)      the Average Deferral Percentage of all other
                                    Covered Employees for such Plan Year
                                    multiplied by 1.25; or

                           (ii)     the Average Deferral Percentage of all other
                                    Covered Employees for such Plan Year
                                    multiplied by 2.0; provided that the Average
                                    Deferral Percentage of the Highly
                                    Compensated Employees for such Plan Year
                                    does not exceed that of all other Covered
                                    Employees for that Plan Year by more than
                                    two percentage points.

The Committee may, from time to time, monitor the Covered Employees' Salary
Reduction Amounts to determine whether the foregoing limitation will be
satisfied and, to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with such
limitation, may reduce, on a pro rata basis, the applicable percentage of future
Compensation to be withheld for the Highly Compensated Employees. If for a Plan
Year the Salary Reduction Amounts made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees
exceed the foregoing limitation, the Committee shall refund the excess Salary
Reduction Amounts made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in the order of
their deferral ratios (as defined in Section 3.3(b)(ii)) beginning with the
highest ratio, to the extent necessary to meet the foregoing limitation. Any
such excess Salary Reduction Amount (and the earnings thereon) shall be refunded
in cash as soon as practicable after such excess is discovered, but in no event
later than the March 15 following the close of the Plan Year. The trust earnings
allocable to such excess Salary Reduction Amounts shall equal the sum of the
allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year and the allocable gain or loss for the
period between the end of the Plan Year and the date the excess Salary Reduction
Amounts are distributed. The earnings allocable to an excess Salary Reduction
Amount for the Plan Year shall be determined by multiplying the income for the
Plan Year allocable to the Employer Contribution Account of each Highly
Compensated Employee having an excess Salary Reduction Amount by a fraction. The
numerator of the fraction shall be the excess Salary Reduction Amount made by
the Highly Compensated Employee and the denominator shall be the Highly
Compensated Employee's Account balance as of the last day of the Plan Year,
reduced by the gain allocable to such amount for the Plan Year and increased by
any loss allocable to such Account for the Plan Year. The earnings allocable to
the excess Salary Reduction Amount for the period between the end of the Plan
Year and the date on which such excess Salary Reduction Amount is distributed
shall be determined under the same fractional method described above or under
the 10 percent safe harbor method described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.401(k)-1. If a Highly Compensated Employee who must receive a refund of an
excess

                                      -14-

<page>

Salary Reduction Amount also contributed for the same plan year a Salary
Reduction Amount in excess of the limitation described in Section 402(g) of the
Internal Revenue Code, the distributions of such excess amounts shall be
coordinated in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(5)(i).

3.4      Limitations on Employer Contributions

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Employer
shall not make contributions to the Plan with respect to any Plan Year to the
extent that:

                  (a)      such contributions would exceed the Employer's
                           Current or Accumulated Earnings, determined as of the
                           last day of such Plan Year; or

                  (b)      such contributions would exceed the maximum deduction
                           allowable for such contributions under Section 404 of
                           the Internal Revenue Code for the taxable year ending
                           with or within such Plan Year.

If the Employer's contributions that would be made under Section 3.1 would
exceed the foregoing limitations for any Plan Year, the Salary Reduction Amount
elected by each Participant shall be reduced prorata. To the extent that
Employer contributions have actually been made to the Plan in an amount that
exceeds such limitations, such excess Contributions (increased by any earnings
and reduced by any losses attributable thereto) shall be treated as having been
made by the Participants on behalf of whom they were contributed, and shall be
refunded to such Participants within 30 days after the end of the Plan Year with
respect to which they were made.

3.5      Form of Employer Contributions

                  The Employer's contributions shall be made in cash.

3.6      Nonreversion

                  In no event shall the principal or income of the Trust Fund be
paid to or revert to the Employer, or be used for any purpose other than for the
exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries or for defraying
the reasonable costs of administering the Plan; provided, that if the Employer's
contribution is made under a mistake of fact, it may be returned to the Employer
within one year of payment; if the Employer's contribution is conditioned upon
the initial qualification of the Plan, or of any amendment thereto, under
Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Plan or

                                      -15-

<page>

such amendment is not so qualified, such contribution may be returned to the
Employer within one year after the date on which such qualification is denied;
or if the Employer's contribution is conditioned upon its deductibility under
Section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code and such deduction is disallowed, such
contribution (to the extent disallowed) may be returned to the Employer within
one year after the date of such disallowance. To the extent that any amount so
returned consists of a Salary Reduction Amount elected by a Participant, it
shall then be paid to such Participant by the Employer.

4.1      Loans

                  Upon the written application of a Participant, the Committee
may, in its discretion, direct the Trustee to lend trust funds to such
Participant. Loans to Participants shall be available to all Participants on a
reasonably equivalent basis, shall not be available to Participants who are
officers, shareholders, or highly compensated in amounts that are
proportionately greater than the amounts made available to other Participants,
shall be adequately secured, and shall bear a reasonable rate of interest. Not
more than one loan shall be outstanding to any Participant at any time, and a
new loan shall not be extended to any Participant until at least one calendar
quarter has elapsed since the date on which the previous loan was repaid.

4.2      Amount of Loans

                  The principal amount of any loan made to a Participant, when
added to the outstanding balance (including accrued but unpaid interest) of any
prior loans made to the Participant from all qualified plans maintained by the
Employer or any Related Company, shall not exceed the lesser of:

                  (i)      $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of:

                           (A)      the highest outstanding balance during the
                                    one-year period ending immediately preceding
                                    the date of the loan, over

                           (B)      the outstanding balance on the date of the
                                    loan, of all such loans from all such plans;
                                    or

                                      -16-

                  (ii)     50 percent of the Participant's nonforfeitable
                           interest in his Employer Contribution Account as of
                           the date of the loan.

4.3      Terms of Loans

                  Any loan extended pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  (a)      Each loan shall be secured by a pledge to the Trustee
                           of a portion of the Participant's Employer
                           Contribution Account balance under the Plan. As of
                           any loan date, no more than 50 percent of the portion
                           of the Participant's Employer Contribution Account
                           balance may be pledged as security for that loan and
                           any prior loan made by the Participant that remains
                           outstanding under the Plan on the date of the loan.

                  (b)      The loan shall be subject to repayment, by payroll
                           deduction, in substantially equal, self-amortizing
                           installments over a period of not more than five
                           years; provided, that the Committee may permit such
                           repayment over a period of more than five years if
                           such loan is used to acquire, construct, or
                           substantially rehabilitate any dwelling unit which,
                           within a reasonable time after the date on which the
                           loan is made, is to be used as the principal
                           residence of the Participant.

                  (c)      The loan, together with all accrued and unpaid
                           interest thereon, may be prepaid at any time, without
                           penalty.

                  (d)      In the event of default, foreclosure on the note and
                           attachment of security will not occur until the
                           Participant becomes entitled to a distribution
                           pursuant to Section 7.

                  (e)      No distributions or withdrawals shall be paid to a
                           Participant until the principal and interest on any
                           outstanding loan to such Participant has been repaid,
                           unless: (i) the amount of such distribution or
                           withdrawal will be applied to the repayment of the
                           full amount of such loan; or (ii) the amount of such
                           loan would not exceed the limitations of Section 4.2
                           after the distribution or withdrawal has been made.

                                     -17-

<PAGE>

                  (f)      Each loan shall be evidenced by a note in a form
                           furnished by the Committee and shall bear interest at
                           the rate that is in effect on the date of the loan.
                           The interest rate for loans shall be determined by
                           the Committee no less frequently than quarterly based
                           on appropriate factors in accordance with Department
                           of Labor regulations.

The Committee may subject a loan to such additional terms and conditions not
inconsistent with the foregoing as it may deem necessary or desirable; provided,
that such terms and conditions shall be uniformly applied to all similarly
situated Participants.

4.4      Accounting for Loans

                  Loans to a Participant shall be accounted for as directed
investments of the Participant's Employer Contribution Account. The amount of
such loans shall not be considered as a part of the Participant's Employer
Contribution Account balance for the purpose of allocating earnings or losses of
the Trust Fund, and all payments of principal and interest shall be credited to
the accounts from which such loans are made.

4.5      Hardship Withdrawals

                  (a)      Subject to the approval of the Committee, a
                           Participant may request a withdrawal of any part or
                           all of the balance of his Employer Contribution
                           Account in the event of financial hardship; provided,
                           that the amount of any such withdrawal from his
                           Employer Contribution Account may not exceed the sum
                           of the previously contributed Salary Reduction
                           Amounts then credited to such Account, plus the
                           earnings thereon that were credited to such Account
                           prior to 1989.  A withdrawal requested under this
                           Section 4.5 shall be permitted by the Committee only
                           if, in the determination of the Committee, such
                           withdrawal is necessary in light of immediate and
                           heavy financial needs of the Participant occasioned
                           by:

                           (i)      medical expenses incurred by such
                                    Participant or his immediate family which
                                    are not covered by insurance; or

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

                           (ii)     the construction or purchase of a primary
                                    residence in which the Participant will
                                    live.

                           A withdrawal shall not be permitted by the Committee
                           pursuant to this Section 4.5 to the extent that the
                           amount requested exceeds the amount determined by the
                           Committee as being required to meet the Participant's
                           immediate financial need created by the hardship, or
                           to the extent that the Committee determines that such
                           amounts are reasonably available from the
                           Participant's other resources.

                  (b)      A request for a withdrawal under this Section 4.5
                           shall be submitted in writing signed by the
                           Participant or his legal representative, shall
                           describe fully the circumstances which are deemed to
                           justify the payment and the amounts necessary to
                           alleviate the hardship, and shall be accompanied by
                           such other documentation as may be requested by the
                           Committee.  The Committee shall require as a
                           condition of any withdrawal under this Section 4.5
                           the Participant's written and signed representation
                           that the immediate and heavy financial need cannot
                           reasonably be relieved (without thereby increasing
                           the amount of the need) through reimbursement
                           or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by
                           liquidation of the Participant's assets, by cessation
                           of Salary Reduction Amounts under the Plan, or by
                           other distributions or nontaxable (when made) loans
                           from employee benefit plans maintained by the
                           Employer and Related Companies, or by borrowing from
                           commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms in
                           an amount sufficient to satisfy the need.  Any
                           decision made by the Committee pursuant to this
                           Section 4.5 shall be final, conclusive, and binding
                           upon the Participant, subject only to the claims
                           procedure set forth in Section 7.6.

4.6      Withdrawals Due to Disability or After Age 59 1/2

                  A Participant who is Disabled or who has attained age 59 1/2
may elect to receive a distribution of the entire amount credited to his
Employer Contribution Account as of the last day of the Plan Year in which such
election is made. Any such election shall be made in writing filed with the
Committee at least 30 days prior to the date as of which such distribution is to
be made, and shall become irrevocable on the

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

30th day immediately preceding the distribution date. A Participant who receives
a distribution pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall not thereafter be eligible to
participate in the Plan.

                                    SECTION 5

                                   Trust Fund

5.1      Appointment of Trustee

                  A Trustee (or trustees) shall be appointed by the Employer to
administer the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall serve at the pleasure of the
Employer, and shall have such rights, powers, and duties as shall be set forth
in the agreement or agreements pursuant to which the Trust Fund is maintained.

5.2      Investment Funds

                  The Investment Committee appointed pursuant to Section 8.2
shall direct the Trustee to divide the Trust Fund into two or more separate
"Investment Funds," which shall be invested in accordance with such investment
policies as may from time to time be adopted by the Investment Committee and
communicated to the Trustee. The Committee shall establish such rules and
procedures as it may deem necessary to allow Participants, former Participants,
and their Beneficiaries to direct the investment of their accounts in one or
more of such Investment Funds.

5.3      Investments in Collectibles

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, or of any
agreement or agreements pursuant to which the Trust Fund is maintained, no
portion of the funds allocated to any Participant's account shall be invested in
"collectibles," as such term is defined in Section 408(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code.

5.4      Investment Elections

                  The Committee shall establish such rules and procedures as it
may deem necessary or desirable to allow Participants and their Beneficiaries to
direct the investment of their accounts among one or more Investment Funds. Each
investment direction shall be made in such manner and at such time as the
Committee shall determine, and shall be effective only in accordance with such
rules as shall be established from time to time by the Committee; the Committee
shall direct the Trustee

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

to make investments in accordance with such investment directions. The Trustee
shall be entitled to rely upon the validity and accuracy of all directions
received by it from the Committee.

                    Allocation of Employer Contributions and
                      Adjustment of Participants' Accounts

6.1      Participants' Accounts

                  The Committee shall establish and maintain a separate account
for each Participant, showing his portion of Employer contributions credited
under the Plan and earnings or losses attributable thereto.

6.2      Allocation of Employer Contributions

                  The Employer contributions (as determined under Section 3)
made on behalf of each Participant shall be credited to the Participant's
Employer Contribution Account as provided in Section 6.4.

6.3      Determination of Increase or Decrease in Net Worth of Plan Assets

                  As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall determine (as
provided in the agreement or agreements pursuant to which the Trust Fund is
maintained) the fair market value of the Trust Fund and of each Investment Fund,
and shall give written notice thereof to the Committee. After receiving such
notice from the Trustee, the Committee (or, if so provided in the agreement or
agreements pursuant to which the Trust Fund is maintained, the Trustee) shall
determine the increase or decrease in the net worth of each Investment Fund for
the Valuation Period by deducting from the fair market value thereof the sum of:

                  (a)      all contributions and transfers credited by the
                           Trustee to such Investment Fund during the Valuation
                           Period; and

                  (b)      the fair market value of such Investment Fund as of
                           the next preceding valuation, reduced by any
                           distributions, withdrawals, or transfers made from
                           such Investment Fund during the Valuation Period.

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

The increase or decrease in the net worth of each Investment Fund for the
Valuation Period shall then be credited or charged to the account balances
invested in such fund as provided in Section 6.4.

6.4      Adjustment of Participants' Accounts

                  The following adjustments shall be made to each Participant's
Employer Contribution Account as soon as practicable after each Valuation Date:

                  (a)      First:  Credit the account balance of each
                           -----
                           Participant invested in each Investment Fund with the
                           Employer contributions made on behalf of such
                           Participant and invested in such Investment Fund
                           during the Valuation Period;

                  (b)      Second: After making the adjustments described above,
                           allocate to the account of each Participant his share
                           of the increase or decrease in the net worth of each
                           Investment Fund in which his account is invested on
                           the basis of the ratio that his account balance
                           invested in such Investment Fund, as so adjusted,
                           bears to the value of all accounts invested in such
                           Investment Fund, as so adjusted;

                  (c)      Third: After making the adjustments described above,
                           reduce the account balance of each Participant
                           invested in each Investment Fund by the amount of any
                           withdrawals, distributions, or loans from such
                           Investment Fund requested during the Valuation Period
                           by or on behalf of the Participant;

                  (d)      Fourth: After making the adjustments described above,
                           credit the account balance of each Participant
                           invested in each Investment Fund with the amount of
                           any principal or interest payments made by the
                           Participant during the Valuation Period on loans
                           previously made to such Participant from such
                           Investment Fund; and

                  (e)      Fifth: After making the adjustments described above,
                           increase the account balance of each Participant
                           invested in each Investment Fund by the amounts
                           transferred by the Participant to such Investment
                           Fund from any other

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

                           Investment Fund during the Valuation Period, and
                           reduce the account balance of each Participant
                           invested in each Investment Fund by any amounts
                           transferred by the Participant from such Investment
                           Fund to another Investment Fund during the
                           Valuation Period.

The adjustments described above shall also be made to the accounts maintained
for former Participants and Beneficiaries. The accounts of Participants, former
Participants, and Beneficiaries, as adjusted in accordance with this section,
shall be determinative of the value of the interest of each Participant, former
Participant, and Beneficiary in the Trust Fund and in each Investment Fund until
a subsequent determination is made pursuant to this Section 6.4.

                                    SECTION 7

                                    Benefits

7.1      Termination of Employment

                  If a Participant's employment with the Employer and all
Related Companies terminates for any reason other than his death, including his
retirement on or after his early retirement date, the Participant shall be
entitled to receive the full amount available for distribution from his Employer
Contribution Account, including any Employer contributions due with respect to
such Participant but not yet credited to his account. A participant's "early
retirement date" means the date he attains age 55. Each Participant shall have a
nonforfeitable interest at all times in the amounts from time to time credited
to his Employer Contribution Account.

7.2      Death

                  (a)      If a Participant's employment is terminated because
                           of his death, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be
                           entitled to receive the full amount available for

                           of the Internal Revenue Code and related transitional

                           the proposed Treasury Regulations, or in the
                           corresponding Sections of any final Treasury
                           Regulations issued under Section 401(a)(9) of the
                           Internal Revenue Code.

                  (c)      If a former Participant or Beneficiary cannot be
                           located by the Committee within a reasonable time
                           after the expiration of the period described in
                           paragraph (a) above, the Committee may, in its
                           exclusive discretion, direct that the amounts then
                           credited to the Participant's accounts be treated as
                           a forfeiture and allocated to the Employer
                           Contribution Accounts of the remaining Participants
                           in the proportion that each Participant's Salary

                           Year.  If the former Participant or his Beneficiary
                           subsequently makes a claim for such amounts, the
                           amount forfeited shall be restored to his accounts
                           and distributed in accordance with the provisions of
                           Section 7.3. any amounts so restored shall be derived
                           from the forfeitures arising during the Plan Year
                           in which such claim is allowed or, to the extent such
                           forfeitures are insufficient, from a contribution to
                           the Plan made by the Employer expressly for this
                           purpose.

7.6      Claims Procedure

                  (a)      If a claim for benefits made by a Participant or his
                           Beneficiary (the "Applicant") is denied, the

                           additional material or information necessary for the
                           perfection of the claim and explains why such
                           material or information is necessary, and
                           (iv) explains the claim review procedures.

                           requested:  (i) permit the Applicant to review any
                           documents which are pertinent to the claim,
                           (ii) permit the Applicant to submit to the Committee

                           Committee as a part of the review procedure.

                  (c)      Within 60 days after its receipt of a request for
                           review (or within 120 days after such receipt if
                           special circumstances, such as the need to hold a
                           hearing, require an extension of time) the Committee
                           shall notify the Applicant in writing of its decision
                           and the reasons for its decision and shall refer the
                           Applicant to the provisions of the Plan which form
                           the basis for its decision.

                  Whenever, in the Committee's opinion, a person entitled to
receive any payment of a benefit or installment thereof hereunder is under a
legal disability, or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage
his financial affairs, the Committee may direct the Trustee to make payments to
such person, or to his legal representative, or to a relative or friend of such
person for his benefit, or may direct the Trustee to apply the payment for the
benefit of such person in such manner as the Committee considers advisable. Any
payment of a benefit or installment thereof in accordance with the provisions of
this paragraph shall be a complete discharge of any liability for the making of
such payment under the provisions of the Plan.

                  (a)      Purpose. This Section 7.8 applies to distributions

                           made on or after January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any
                           provision of the Plan to the contrary that would
                           otherwise limit a distributee's election under this
                           Section 7.8, a distributee may elect, at the time and
                           in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have
                           any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid

                           all or any portion of the balance to the credit of
                           the distributee, except that an

                           eligible rollover distribution does not include:
                           any distribution that is one of a series of
                           substantially equal periodic payments (not less
                           frequently than annually) made for the life (or life
                           expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or
                           joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the
                           distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a
                           specified period of ten years or more; any
                           distribution to the extent such distribution is
                           required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal
                           Revenue Code; and the portion of any distribution
                           that is not includible in gross income.

                  (c)      Definition of Eligible Retirement Plan.  An eligible
                           --------------------------------------

                           accepts the distributee's eligible rollover
                           distribution.  However, in the case of an eligible
                           rollover distribution to the surviving spouse, an
                           eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement
                           account or individual retirement annuity.

                  (d)      Definition of Distributee. A distributee includes an
                           -------------------------

                           Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse and
                           the Employee's or former Employee's spouse or former
                           spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified
                           domestic relations order, as defined in Section
                           414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code, are distributees
                           with regard to the interest of the spouse or former
                           spouse.

                  (e)      Definition of Direct Rollover.  A direct rollover is
                           -----------------------------
                           a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement

reasonable expenses of the Investment Committee shall be paid by the Employer.
Members of the Investment Committee who are full-time employees of the Employer
or a Related Company shall not receive any other compensation from the Plan with
respect to their services for the Investment Committee.

8.3      Quorum

                  The action of a majority of the members of a committee at the
time acting hereunder, and any instrument executed by a majority of such members
of the committee, shall be considered the action or instrument of the committee.
Action may be taken by a committee at a meeting or in writing without a meeting;
however, no member of a committee shall vote or decide upon any matter relating
solely to himself or to any of his rights or benefits under the Plan. If a
committee shall be evenly divided on any question, the decision of the Board of
Directors of the Employer shall control. A committee may authorize any one or
more of its members to execute any document or documents on behalf of the
committee, in which event the committee shall notify the Trustee in writing of
such action and of the name or names of its member or members so designated. The
Trustee thereafter may accept and rely upon any document executed by such member
or members as representing action by the committee, until the committee shall
file with the Trustee a written revocation of such designation.

9.1      Limitations on Additions to Participants' Accounts

                  (a)      The additions (as such term is hereinafter defined)
                           which may be credited to a Participant's account in
                           any Plan Year shall not exceed an amount which, when
                           added to the additions made to such Participant's
                           accounts for such year under any other qualified plan
                           maintained by the Employer or any Related Company, is
                           equal to the lesser of: (i) $30,000 (or, commencing
                           January 1, 1988, the dollar

                           limitation in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of
                           the Internal Revenue Code for such Plan Year); or
                           (ii) 25% of the Participant's Total Compensation for
                           such Plan Year.

                  (b)      For the purposes of this Section, the term
                           "additions" means the sum of: (1) the Participant's
                           share of Employer contributions (including
                           forfeitures, if any), and (ii) any Employee
                           contributions (other than qualified rollover
                           contributions or transferred amounts). The "addition"
                           for any Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1987,

                           contributions as an "addition."

                  (c)      In the case of a Participant who is also a
                           participant in one or more qualified defined benefit
                           plans maintained by the Employer or any Related
                           Company, the additions which may be credited to such
                           Participant's account for any Plan Year shall be
                           further reduced so that the sum of the "defined
                           contribution fraction" and the "defined benefit
                           fraction" for such Participant for such Plan Year
                           shall not exceed 1.0. For the purposes of this
                           paragraph:

                           (i)      the term "defined contribution fraction"
                                    shall mean a fraction, the numerator of
                                    which is the sum of the total annual
                                    additions made to the Participant's accounts
                                    hereunder, and under all other qualified
                                    defined contribution plans maintained by the
                                    Employer or a Related Company, and the
                                    denominator of which is the amount
                                    determined under Section 415(e)(3)(B) of the
                                    Internal Revenue Code; and

                           (ii)     the term "defined benefit fraction" shall
                                    mean a fraction, the numerator of which is
                                    the sum of the projected annual benefits
                                    payable to such Participant under each
                                    qualified defined benefit plan maintained by
                                    the Employer or a Related Company, and the
                                    denominator of which is the amount
                                    determined under Section 415(e)(2)(B) of the
                                    Internal Revenue Code.

                  (d)      Any excess contribution not allocable to a
                           Participant's account under this section shall be
                           treated as a contribution made by the Participant,
                           and shall be refunded to the Participant (increased
                           by any earnings and reduced by any losses
                           attributable thereto) as soon as practicable.

9.2      Nonguarantee of Employment

                  Neither the establishment of the Plan or the Trust Fund, nor
any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the
payment of any benefits, shall be construed as giving to any Participant or
other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer, against any
officer or employee of the Employer, or against the committees or the Trustee,
except as herein provided. Under no circumstances shall the terms of employment
of any Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.

9.3      Nonalienation of Benefits

                  (a)      Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the rights
                           or interest of any Participant or his Beneficiaries
                           to any benefits or future payments hereunder shall
                           not be subject to attachment, garnishment, or other
                           legal process by any creditor of any such Participant
                           or Beneficiary, nor shall any such Participant or
                           Beneficiary have any right to alienate, anticipate,
                           commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the
                           benefits or payments which he may expect to receive,
                           contingently or otherwise, under this Plan, and any
                           attempt to anticipate, alienate, commute, pledge,
                           encumber, or assign any right to benefits payable
                           hereunder shall be void.

                  (b)      Paragraph (a) does not apply to any amounts payable
                           with respect to a Participant pursuant to any
                           "qualified domestic relations order," as such term is
                           defined in Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue
                           Code. The Committee shall establish reasonable
                           procedures to determine the qualified status of
                           domestic relations orders and to administer
                           distributions under such qualified orders.

9.4      Limitation of Liability

                  Neither the Employer, the Trustee, nor any member of the
committees guarantees the Trust Fund against loss or depreciation, and none of
them shall be liable for any act or failure to act which is made in good faith
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, except to the extent required by
applicable law. It is expressly understood and agreed by each Employee who
becomes a Participant that, except for its or their willful misconduct or gross
neglect, neither the Employer, nor the committees, nor the Trustee, shall be in
any way subject to any legal liability to any Participant or Beneficiary, for
any cause or reason or thing whatsoever in connection with this Plan, and each
such Participant hereby releases the Employer and its officers and agents, the
committees and the Trustee and their members or agents, from any and all
liability or obligation except as in this paragraph provided.

9.5      Indemnification

                  The Employer may, to the extent permitted by its articles of
incorporation and bylaws, and by the laws of the State in which it is
incorporated, indemnify the committees, the individual members thereof, and any
employee or director of the Employer or any Related Company providing services
to the Plan, whether or not they are compensated therefor, against any and all
liabilities arising by reason of any act or omission, made in good faith
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, including expenses reasonably incurred
in the defense of any claim relating thereto.

                                   SECTION 10

                            Amendment and Termination

10.1     Amendments

                  (a)      The Employer reserves the right to make, from time to
                           time, any amendment or amendments to this Plan which
                           do not reduce any Participant's nonforfeitable
                           interest in his account or permit any part of the
                           Plan assets to be used for, or diverted to, purposes
                           other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants
                           or their Beneficiaries, except to the extent
                           permitted by Section 3.6. The Employer also shall
                           have the right to make any amendment retroactively
                           which is necessary to qualify the Plan for tax
                           exemption or to bring the Plan into conformity with
                           the Internal Revenue Code or

                                      -34-

                           ERISA, or which is otherwise permitted under either
                           of such Acts.

                  (b)      If the Plan is amended in a way that directly or
                           indirectly affects the manner in which a
                           Participant's nonforfeitable percentage of his
                           account balance is computed, any active Participant
                           with at least three years of Service may make an
                           irrevocable election during the election period
                           described below to have his nonforfeitable percentage
                           of his account balance determined without regard to
                           such amendment.

                  (c)      The election period shall begin no later than the
                           date the Plan amendment is adopted and shall end no
                           earlier than the last to occur of the following:

                           (i)      60 days after the day the Plan amendment is
                                    adopted;

                           (ii)     60 days after the day the Plan amendment
                                    becomes effective; or

                           (iii)    60 days after the Participant is given
                                    written notice of the Plan amendment.

                  (d)      The election described in paragraph (b) above shall
                           not be available to any Participant whose
                           nonforfeitable percentage under the Plan, as amended,
                           cannot at any time be less than such percentage
                           determined without regard to such amendment.

10.2     Termination; Discontinuance of Contributions

                  The Employer shall have the right to suspend its contributions
hereunder for any period of time, and the Board of Directors of the Employer
shall have the right to terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time.
Upon a termination or partial termination of the Plan, or upon the permanent
suspension of contributions by the Employer, the benefits payable to each
Participant shall, to the extent affected by such termination, partial
termination, or suspension, become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and the
Committee shall direct the Trustee in the method and manner of distribution of
the Trust Fund to those Participants or Beneficiaries, which may include the
distribution or transfer of Plan assets to the trustee or funding agent of a
successor or substitute plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Committee may also

                                      -35-

direct that the Trust Fund be continued for a specified number of years
thereafter, or may direct that the Trustee continue the Trust Fund for such
period of time as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may deem to be in the
best interests of the Participants or their Beneficiaries.

10.3     Merger, Consolidation, or Transfer of Assets

                  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this
Plan shall not be merged or consolidated with, nor shall any assets or
liabilities of the Plan be transferred to, any other plan unless the benefits
payable to each Participant immediately after the merger, consolidation, or
transfer (determined as if the plan had then terminated) are equal to or greater
than the benefits such Participant would have been entitled to receive from this
Plan (determined as if this Plan had terminated immediately prior to such
action).

                                   SECTION 11

                           fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan.

                  (b)      The Committee and the Investment Committee shall be
                           "named fiduciaries" with respect to the Plan;
                           however, their responsibilities as such shall be

                                    is one of the 100 Employees paid the highest
                                    Compensation during the current Plan Year.

                           (ii)     The term 'Average Deferral Percentage' of a
                                    group of Covered Employees for a Plan Year
                                    means the average of the deferral ratios
                                    (determined separately for each Covered
                                    Employee in such group) of (1) to (2),
                                    where (1) equals the Salary Reduction
                                    Amounts elected by and contributed on behalf
                                    of such Covered Employee for such Plan Year,
                                    and (2) equals the Covered Employee's
                                    Compensation for such Plan Year.

                  (c)      The Average Deferral Percentage of the Highly
                           Compensated Employees for any Plan Year may not
                           exceed the greater of:

                           (i)      the Average Deferral Percentage of all other
                                    Covered Employees for such Plan Year
                                    multiplied by 1.25; or

                                      -6-

<page>

                           (ii)     the Average Deferral Percentage of all other
                                    Covered Employees for such Plan Year
                                    multiplied by 2.0; provided that the Average
                                    Deferral Percentage of the Highly
                                    Compensated Employees for such Plan Year
                                    does not exceed that of all other Covered
                                    Employees for that Plan Year by more than
                                    two percentage points.

                           The Committee may, from time to time, monitor the
                           Covered Employees' Salary Reduction Amounts to
                           determine whether the foregoing limitation will be
                           satisfied and, to the extent necessary to ensure
                           compliance with such limitation, may reduce, on a pro
                           rata basis, the applicable percentage of future
                           Compensation to be withheld for the Highly
                           Compensated Employees. If for a Plan Year the Salary
                           Reduction Amounts made on behalf of Highly
                           Compensated Employees exceed the foregoing
                           limitation, the Committee shall refund the excess
                           Salary Reduction Amounts made on behalf of Highly
                           Compensated Employees in the order of their deferral
                           ratios (as defined in Section 3.3(b)(ii)) beginning
                           with the highest ratio, to the extent necessary to
                           meet the foregoing limitation. Any such excess Salary
                           Reduction Amount (and the earnings thereon) shall be
                           refunded in cash as soon as practicable after such
                           excess is discovered, but in no event later than the
                           March 15 following the close of the Plan Year. The
                           trust earnings allocable to such excess Salary
                           Reduction Amounts shall equal the sum of the
                           allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year and the
                           allocable gain or loss for the period between the end
                           of the Plan Year and the date the excess Salary
                           Reduction Amounts are distributed. The earnings
                           allocable to an excess Salary Reduction Amount for
                           the Plan Year shall be determined by multiplying the
                           income for the Plan Year allocable to the Employer
                           Contribution Account of each Highly Compensated
                           Employee having an excess Salary Reduction Amount by
                           a fraction. The numerator of the fraction

                           shall be the excess Salary Reduction Amount made by
                           the Highly Compensated Employee and the denominator
                           shall be the Highly Compensated Employee's Account
                           balance as of the last day of the Plan Year, reduced
                           by the gain allocable to such amount for the Plan
                           Year and increased by any loss allocable to such
                           Account for the Plan Year. The earnings allocable to
                           the excess Salary Reduction Amount for the period
                           between the end of the Plan Year and the date on
                           which such excess Salary Reduction Amount is
                           distributed shall be determined under the same
                           fractional method described above or under the 10
                           percent safe harbor method described in Treasury
                           Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1. If a Highly
                           Compensated Employee who must receive a refund of an
                           excess Salary Reduction Amount also contributed for
                           the same plan year a Salary Reduction Amount in
                           excess of the limitation described in Section 402(g)
                           of the Internal Revenue Code, the distributions of
                           such excess amounts shall be coordinated in
                           accordance with Treasury Regulations
                           Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(5)(i)."

Plan, effective as of January 1, 1987:

         plans maintained by the Employer or any Related Company, shall not
         exceed the lesser of:

                  (i)      $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of:

                           rollover distribution to the surviving spouse, an
                           eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement

                           qualified rollover contributions or transferred
