                   Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company

                 FLEXINVEST(R) PROTOTYPE PROFIT-SHARING/401(k)
                                      PLAN
                    Established Under Revenue Procedure 89-9
     IRS Serial No. D265755a (Standardized) and D365756a (Non-standardized)

Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company of Springfield, Massachusetts
(MassMutual) has prepared this Profit-Sharing/401(k) Plan for Employers
interested in providing retirement benefits for their Employees. Any Company may
adopt this Plan, provided that it executes an agreement, hereinafter referred to
as the Adoption Agreement, delivers a copy of the executed Adoption Agreement to
MassMutual and agrees to conform to and abide by all of the terms and provisions
of this Plan. The Company must also apply for and have issued to it a group
annuity contract to fund the Plan and to provide benefits under the Plan. The
Company may also apply for and have issued to it individual life insurance
Policies.

MassMutual has received a favorable Opinion Letter for this Prototype plan from
the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with Revenue Procedure 89-9. A copy
of that Opinion Letter is contained in the Adoption Agreement. MassMutual
strongly suggests that the Company adopting the non-standardized Plan file with
the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Key District Office for a Determination
Letter. If the Company adopting the standardized Plan maintains or later adopts
another Plan in addition to this Plan, MassMutual strongly suggests that the
adopting Company file with the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Key District
Office for a Determination Letter.

                                 PURPOSE OF PLAN

The Company establishes this Plan to provide funds for its Employees' retirement
and to provide funds for their Beneficiaries in the event of death. The benefits
provided in this Plan shall be paid from a Group Annuity Contract and individual
life insurance policies issued to the Company. The Plan is established and shall
be maintained for the exclusive benefit of eligible Employees and their
Beneficiaries. If the Company adopts this Plan as an amendment to an existing
plan, the existing plan shall be superseded by this Plan.

This Plan and any related documents are instruments having IMPORTANT FINANCIAL,
LEGAL AND TAX IMPLICATIONS. Neither MassMutual nor its representatives can give
assurances that the adoption of this Plan shall create a qualified Plan for a
particular Company. Each Company must assume responsibility for the tax or legal
aspects pertaining to its Plan. EACH COMPANY SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN ATTORNEY FOR
LEGAL ADVICE.

References to Parts and to numbered Paragraphs relate to the Plan document and
those made to Sections relate to the Adoption Agreement.

1.1      ADMINISTRATOR - The person or persons designated by the Company in

         Section (C) by the Company.

1.3      ANNUAL ADDITIONS - The sum of the following amounts credited to a
         Participant's Account for the Limitation Year:

         (a)      Company contributions,

         (b)      Participant contributions,

         (c)      Forfeitures,

         (d)      Amounts allocated, after March 31, 1984, to an individual
                  medical account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), which
                  is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the
                  Company, are treated as Annual Additions to a defined
                  contribution plan. Also, amounts derived from contributions
                  paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in taxable years
                  ending after such date, which are attributable to
                  post-retirement medical benefits, allocated to the separate
                  account of a key employee, as defined in Code Section
                  419A(d)(3), under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code
                  Section 419(e), maintained by the Company, are treated as
                  Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan, and

         (e)      Allocations under a simplified employee pension plan.

         For this purpose, any Excess Annual Additions applied under Paragraphs
         5.4 or 5.5 in the Limitation Year to reduce Company contributions shall
         be considered Annual Additions for such Limitation Year.

         The Annual Addition for any Limitation Year beginning before January 1,
         1987 shall not be recomputed to treat all Participant contributions as
         an Annual Addition.

1.4      AUTOMATIC JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY - An immediate annuity for the
         life of the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the
         Participant's Spouse which is not less than 50 percent and not more
         than 100 percent of the amount of the annuity which is payable during
         the joint lives of the Participant and his Spouse, and which is the
         amount of benefit which can be purchased with the Participant's vested
         account balance. The percentage of the survivor annuity under the Plan
         shall be 50 percent unless a different percentage is elected by a
         Participant.

         thereunder), to receive any benefits under the Plan on account of the

         of a Participant, the Beneficiary thereunder shall be designated
         separately under such Policy.

1.6      BENEFITING - A Participant is treated as benefiting under the Plan for
         any Plan Year during which the Participant received or is deemed to
         receive an allocation in accordance with Code Section 1.410(b)-3(a).

         business.

1.8      CODE - The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

1.10     COMPANY MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS - If elected in Section (I), the Company
         may contribute money to match the Participant's Elective Deferrals
         and/or Participant Matched Contributions. The amount of the
         contribution shall be determined in accordance with the formula elected
         in Section (I).

1.11     COMPANY PROFIT-SHARING CONTRIBUTIONS - If elected in Section (K), the
         Company may make an extra contribution to the Plan. The amount of the
         contribution is determined at the sole discretion of the Company. The
         Administrator shall allocate Company Profit-Sharing Contributions to
         Participants' Accounts in accordance with the allocation formula
         elected in Section (K). Company Profit-Sharing Contributions shall be
         allocated to the Account of each Participant who has completed the
         requirements elected in Section (K). In the case of a Participant whose
         Entry Date is other than the first day of the Plan Year, all Hours of
         Service during the Plan Year in which participation commenced (or
         recommenced), including Hours of Service credited to a Participant
         prior to his Entry Date, shall be taken into account when determining
         whether or not the Participant has met the Hours of Service requirement
         during the Plan Year.

1.12     COMPANY QUALIFIED MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS - If elected in Section (I),
         the Company may contribute money to match the Participant's Elective

         are subject to the distribution and nonforfeitability requirements
         under Code Section 401(k) when made. The amount of the contribution
         shall be determined in accordance with the formula elected in Section
         (I).

1.13     COMPANY QUALIFIED NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS - If elected in Section
         (H), the Company may elect to make an extra annual contribution to the
         Plan. These contributions are nonforfeitable when made; and are
         distributable only in accordance with the distribution provisions of
         Code Section 401(k).

                                       3

         In addition, in accordance with Paragraphs 4.3(a) and 4.5(a), a Company
         may make Qualified Nonelective Contributions on behalf of non-Highly
         Compensated Employees that are sufficient to satisfy either the Actual
         Deferral Percentage test or the Actual Contribution Percentage test, or
         both, pursuant to Regulations under the Code.

1.14     COMPENSATION - As elected by the Company in Section (E), for all
         purposes of this Plan other than Part V, Limitation on Allocations,
         Compensation shall mean all of each Participant's:

         (a) INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE REPORTED UNDER CODE SECTIONS 6041 AND
         6051 (Wages, Tips and Other Compensation as reported on Form W-2).
         Compensation is defined as wages within the meaning of Code Section
         3401(a) and all other payments of compensation to an Employee by the
         Company (in the course of the Company's trade or business) for which
         the Company is required to furnish the Employee with a written
         statement under Code Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052.
         Compensation must be determined without regard to any rules under Code
         Section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages based on
         the nature or location of the employment or the services performed
         (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code Section
         3401(a)(2)).

         (b) CODE SECTION 3401(A) WAGES. Compensation is defined as wages as
         defined in Code Section 3401(a) for the purposes of income tax
         withholding at the source, but determined without regard to any rules
         that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or
         location of the employment or the services performed (such as the
         exception for agricultural labor in Code Section 3401(a)(2)).

         (c) CODE SECTION 415 SAFE-HARBOR COMPENSATION UNDER IRS REG. SECTION
         415-2(d)(10). Compensation is defined as wages, salaries, and fees for
         professional services and other amounts received (without regard to
         whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for personal services
         actually rendered in the course of employment with the Company to the
         extent that the amounts are includible in gross income (including, but
         not limited to, commissions paid to salesmen, compensation for services
         on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance
         premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits, and reimbursements and
         expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan as described in IRS Reg.
         Section 1.62-2(c)), and excluding all other amounts including the
         following: (1) Company contributions to a plan of deferred compensation
         which are not includible in the Employee's gross income for the taxable
         year in which contributed, or Company contributions under a simplified
         Employee pension plan to the extent such contributions are deductible
         by the Employee, or any distributions from a plan or deferred
         compensation; (2) Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified
         stock option, or when restricted stock (or property) held by the
         Employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to
         a substantial risk of forfeiture; (3) Amounts realized from the sale,
         exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock
         option; and (4) Other amounts which received special tax benefits, or
         contributions made by the Company (whether or not under a salary
         reduction agreement) towards the purchase of an annuity contract

                                       4
<PAGE>   13

         described in Code Section 403(b) (whether or not the contributions are
         actually excludable from the gross income of the Employee).

         (d) TOTAL COMPENSATION AS DEFINED UNDER IRS REG. SECTION 1.415-2(D)(1)
         AND (2). Compensation is defined as immediately above in Subparagraph
         1.14(c), but also including the following: (1) In the case of a
         Participant who is an Employee within the meaning of Code Section
         401(c)(1) and the regulations thereunder, the Participant's earned
         income (as described in Code Section 401(c)(2) and the regulations
         thereunder). (2) Amounts described in Code Sections 104(a)(3), 105(a)
         and 105(h), but only to the extent that these amounts are includible in
         the gross income of the Employee. (3) Amounts paid or reimbursed by the
         Company for moving expenses incurred by an Employee, but only to the
         extent that these amounts are not deductible by the Employee under Code
         Section 217. (4) The value of a non-qualified stock option granted to
         an Employee by the Company, but only to the extent that the value of
         the option is includible in the gross income of the Employee for the
         taxable year in which granted. (5) The amount includible in the gross
         income of an Employee upon making the election described in Code
         Section 83(b).

         The Compensation of each Participant taken into account annually for
         determining all benefits provided under the Plan for any Plan Year
         shall not exceed $150,000, as adjusted for increases in the
         cost-of-living in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B). The
         cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to the
         plan year beginning in such calendar year. If a plan year consists of
         fewer than 12 months, the Compensation limit is an amount equal to the
         otherwise applicable annual compensation limit multiplied by a
         fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the short
         plan year, and the denominator of which is 12.

         In determining the Compensation of a Participant for purposes of this
         limitation, the rules of Code Section 414(q)(6) shall apply, except in
         applying such rules, the term "family" shall include only the Spouse of
         the Participant and any lineal descendants of the Participant who have
         not attained age 19 before the close of the year. If, as a result of
         the application of such rules, the adjusted $150,000 limitation is
         exceeded, then (except for the purposes of determining the portion of
         Compensation up to the integration level if this Plan provides for
         permitted disparity), the limitation shall be prorated among the
         affected individuals in proportion to each such individual's
         Compensation as determined under this Paragraph prior to the
         application of this limitation.

         For any self-employed individual covered under the Plan, Compensation
         shall mean earned income. Earned income means the net earnings from
         self-employment in the trade or business with respect to which the Plan
         is established, for which personal services of the individual are a
         material income-producing factor. Net earnings shall be determined
         without regard to items not included in gross income and the deductions
         allocable to such items. Net earnings are reduced by contributions by
         the Company to a qualified plan to the extent deductible under Code
         Section 404. Net earnings shall be determined with regard to the
         deduction allowed to the Company by Code Section 164(f) for taxable
         years beginning after December 31, 1989.

                                       5
<PAGE>   14

1.15     CONTRACT - The group annuity contract issued by the Insurance Company
         to the Company or as specified in Section (B).

1.16     DEFERRED SALARY AGREEMENT - The agreement entered into by a Participant
         with the Company to reduce his Compensation pursuant to Paragraph 1.20.
         Any Deferred Salary Agreement or other deferral mechanism cannot be
         adopted retroactively.

1.17     DIRECT ROLLOVER - A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the
         eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

1.18     EFFECTIVE DATE - The date elected in Section (C) as the first day of
         the first Plan Year.

1.19     ELECTION PERIOD - The period during which a Participant may waive the
         Preretirement Survivor Annuity under Paragraph 15.2. If Paragraph 14.3
         is operative, this period begins on the first day of the Plan Year in
         which the Participant attains age 35 and ends on the date of the
         Participant's death. If a Participant separates from service prior to
         the first day of the Plan Year in which age 35 is attained, with
         respect to the account balance as of the date of separation, the
         Election Period shall begin on the date of separation. In addition, a
         Participant who has not yet attained age 35 as of the end of any
         current Plan Year may make a special Qualified Election to waive the
         Preretirement Survivor Annuity for the period beginning on the date of
         such election and ending on the first day of the Plan Year in which the
         Participant attains age 35. Such election shall not be valid unless the
         Participant receives a written explanation of the Preretirement
         Survivor Annuity in such terms as are comparable to the explanation
         required under Paragraph 14.3. Preretirement Survivor Annuity coverage
         shall be automatically reinstated as of the first day of the Plan Year
         in which the Participant attains age 35. Any new waiver on or after
         such date shall be subject to the full requirements of Paragraphs 1.44
         and 15.2.

1.20     ELECTIVE DEFERRALS - If elected in Section (G), the Company may make
         contributions to the Plan at the election of the Participant, in lieu
         of cash Compensation. Elective Deferrals shall include contributions
         made pursuant to a Deferred Salary Agreement or other deferral
         mechanism. Elective Deferrals shall not include any deferrals properly
         distributed as Excess Annual Additions.

1.21     ELIGIBLE RETIREMENT PLAN - An eligible retirement plan is an individual
         retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual
         retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan
         described in Code Section 403(a), or a qualified trust described in
         Code Section 401(a), that accepts the Participant'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. For purposes of
         this definition, a former spouse who is the alternate payee under a
         qualified domestic relations order, as defined in section 414(p) of the
         Code may make an Eligible

                                       6
<PAGE>   15

         Rollover Distribution to an Eligible Retirement Plan described in Code
         Section 402(c)(8)(B).

1.22     ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTION - An eligible rollover distribution is
         any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of
         the Participant or Spousal Beneficiary, 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
         Participant or Spousal Beneficiary or the joint lives (or joint life
         expectancies) of the Participant and the Participant's designated
         beneficiary (if permitted in the Plan), or for a specified period of
         ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is
         required under Code Section 401(a)(9); and the portion of any
         distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without
         regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to
         Employer securities).

1.23     EMPLOYEE - Any person employed by the Company or any other Company

         taxable year from the trade or business for which the Plan is
         established; also, a person who would have had earned income but for
         the fact that the trade or business had no net profits for the taxable

                  into account in computing the numerator of the ACP actually
                  made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan
                  Year, over

                                       7
<PAGE>   16

         (b)      The maximum Actual Contribution Percentage amounts permitted
                  by the ACP test (determined by reducing contributions made on
                  behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their ACP,
                  beginning with the highest of such percentages).

         Such determination shall be made after first determining Excess
         Deferrals pursuant to Paragraph 4.2(a) and then determining Excess
         Contributions pursuant to Paragraph 4.2(b).

1.27     EXCESS ANNUAL ADDITIONS - The excess of the Participant's Annual
         Additions for the Limitation Year over the Maximum Permissible Amount.

         (b)      The maximum amount of such contributions permitted by the ADP
                  test (determined by reducing contributions made on behalf of
                  Highly Compensated Employees in order of their ADPs, beginning
                  with the highest of such percentages).

1.29     EXCESS DEFERRALS - A Participant's Elective Deferrals that are
         includible in the Participant's gross income under Code Section 402(g)
         to the extent such Participant's Elective Deferrals for a taxable year
         exceed the dollar limitation under such Code Section. Excess Deferrals
         shall be treated as Annual Additions under the Plan, unless such
         amounts are distributed no later than the first April 15 following the
         close of the Participant's taxable year.

1.30     HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE - The group of Highly Compensated Employees
         ("HCEs") includes any Employee who is employed by the Employer on the
         snapshot day and who (i) is a 5-percent owner on the snapshot day, (ii)
         receives compensation for the Plan Year in excess of the Code Section
         414(q)(1)(B) amount for the Plan Year, (iii) receives compensation for
         the Plan Year in excess of the Code Section 414(q)(1)(C) amount for the
         Plan Year and is a member of the top paid group of Employees within the
         meaning of Code Section 414(q)(4), or (iv) is an officer on the
         snapshot day and receives compensation during the Plan Year that is
         greater than 50 percent of the dollar limitation in effect under Code
         Section 415(b)(1)(A). If no officer satisfies the compensation
         requirement of (iv) above, the highest paid officer for such Plan Year
         shall be treated as a HCE.

         For purposes of determining who is a HCE, compensation means
         compensation within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3) as set forth
         in the Plan for purposes of determining the Code Section 415 limits,
         except that amounts excluded pursuant to Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3),
         402(h)(1)(B) and 403(b) are included. If compensation used for purposes
         of determining the Code Section 415 limits under the Plan is not
         defined as total compensation as provided under Code Section

                                       8
<PAGE>   17

         415(c)(3) and the regulations thereunder, then for purposes of
         determining who is a HCE, compensation means compensation within the
         meaning of Code Section 1.415-2(d)(11)(i) of the Income Tax
         Regulations, except that amounts excluded pursuant to Code Sections
         125, 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B) and 403(b) are included.

         If, as of the snapshot day, an Employee is a family member of either a
         5-percent owner (whether active or former) or a HCE who is one of the
         10 most HCEs ranked on the basis of compensation paid by the Employer
         during such year, then the family member and the 5-percent owner or
         top-ten HCE shall be aggregated. In such case, the family member and
         5-percent owner or top-ten HCE shall be treated as a single Employee
         receiving compensation and Plan contributions or benefits equal to the
         sum of the compensation and contributions and benefits of the family
         member and 5-percent owner or top-ten HCE. For purposes of this
         Section, family member includes the spouse, lineal ascendants and
         descendants of the Employee or former Employee, and the spouses of such
         ascendants and descendants.

         The snapshot day selected in Section (C)(5) must be a single day during
         the Plan Year that is reasonably representative of the Employer's
         workforce and the Plan's coverage throughout the Plan Year. In
         addition, if the Employer uses a snapshot day in substantiating
         compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Sections
         401(a)(4), 410(b), or 414(s), the same snapshot day must be used for
         purposes of determining the HCEs.)

         The group of HCEs will also include any Employee who during the Plan
         Year:

         (a)      terminated employment prior to the snapshot day and was a HCE
                  in the prior Plan Year;

         (b)      terminated employment prior to the snapshot day and (i) was a
                  5-percent owner, or (ii) has compensation for the Plan Year
                  which is greater than or equal to the compensation of any
                  Employee who is treated as a HCE on the snapshot day (except
                  for Employees who are HCEs solely because they are 5-percent
                  owners or officers), or (iii) was an officer and has
                  compensation greater than or equal to the compensation of any
                  other officer who is a HCE on the snapshot day solely because
                  that person is an officer; or

         (c)      becomes employed subsequent to the snapshot day during the
                  Plan Year and (i) is a 5-percent owner, or (ii) has
                  compensation for the Plan Year that is greater than or equal
                  to the compensation of any Employee who is treated as a HCE on
                  the snapshot day (except Employees who are HCEs solely because
                  they are 5-percent owners or officers), or (iii) is an officer
                  and has compensation that is greater than or equal to the
                  compensation of any other officer who is a HCE on the snapshot
                  day solely because that person is an officer.

         The determination of who is a HCE, including the determinations of the
         number and identity of Employees in the top paid group, the number of
         Employees treated as officers and the compensation that is taken into
         account, will be made in accordance

                                       9
<PAGE>   18

         with Code Section 414(q) and Code Section 1.414(q)-1T of the temporary
         Income Tax Regulations to the extent they are not inconsistent with the
         method established above.

1.31     HOUR OF SERVICE -

         (a)      Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
                  payment, for the performance of duties for the Company. These
                  hours shall be credited to the Employee for the computation
                  period in which the duties are performed;

         (b)      Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
                  payment, by the Company on account of a period of time during
                  which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the
                  employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation,
                  holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff,
                  jury duty, military duty or leave of absence. No more than 501
                  Hours of Service shall be credited under this Paragraph for
                  any single continuous period (whether or not such period
                  occurs in a single computation period). Hours under this
                  Paragraph shall be calculated and credited pursuant to Section
                  2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor Regulations which is
                  incorporated herein by this reference; and

         (c)      Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of
                  damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Company. The
                  same Hours of Service shall not be credited both under
                  Subparagraph (a) or Subparagraph (b), as the case may be, and
                  under this Subparagraph (c). These Hours shall be credited to
                  the Employee for the computation period or periods to which
                  the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation
                  period in which the award, agreement or payment is made.

         (d)      Where an Employee leaves a non-temporary position with the
                  Company to enter the United States military service and
                  receives an honorable discharge upon completion of military
                  service, application for reemployment must be made within the
                  following time periods: if the military service is less than
                  31 days, the employee must report for reemployment on the
                  first full working day; if the service is from 31 to 181 days,
                  the employee must apply to the company within 14 days; and if
                  service is over 180 days, the employee must apply to the
                  Company within 90 days. If the employee is hospitalized or
                  injured, the time to apply to the Company is extended for two
                  years.

         (e)      Hours of Service shall be credited for employment with other
                  members of an affiliated service group (under Code Section
                  414(m)), a controlled group of corporations (under Code
                  Section 414(b)), a group of trades or businesses under common
                  control (under Code Section 414(c)), of which the adopting
                  Company is a member, and any other entity required to be
                  aggregated with the Company pursuant to Code Section 414(o)
                  and the Regulations thereunder. Hours of Service shall also be
                  credited for any individual considered an Employee for
                  purposes of this Plan under Code Section 414(n) or Section
                  414(o) and the Regulations thereunder.

                                       10
<PAGE>   19

         (f)      Hours of Service shall be determined on the basis of the
                  method selected in Section (D).

         (g)      Solely for purposes of determining whether a Break in Service,
                  as defined in Paragraph 1.36, for participation and vesting
                  purposes has occurred in a computation period, an individual
                  who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons
                  shall receive credit for the Hours of Service which would
                  otherwise have been credited to such individual but for such
                  absence, or in any case in which such hours cannot be
                  determined, 8 Hours of Service per day of such absence. For
                  purposes of this Subparagraph, an absence from work for
                  maternity or paternity reasons means an absence (1) by reason
                  of the pregnancy of the individual, (2) by reason of a birth
                  of a child of the individual, (3) by reason of the placement
                  of a child with the individual in connection with the adoption
                  of such child by such individual, or (4) for purposes of
                  caring for such child for a period beginning immediately
                  following such birth or placement.

                  The Hours of Service credited under this Subparagraph shall be
                  credited (1) in the computation period in which the absence
                  begins if the crediting is necessary to prevent a Break in
                  Service in that period, or (2) in all other cases, in the
                  following computation period.

1.33     LEASED EMPLOYEE - Any person (other than an Employee of the recipient)
         who pursuant to an agreement between the recipient and any other person
         ("leasing organization"), has performed services for the recipient (or
         for the recipient and related persons determined in accordance with
         Code Section 414(n)(6)) on a substantially full-time basis for a period
         of at least one year, and such services are of a type historically
         performed by Employees in the business field of the recipient Company.
         Contributions or benefits provided a leased Employee by the leasing
         organization which are attributable to services performed for the
         recipient Company shall be treated as provided by the recipient
         Company.

         A leased Employee shall not be considered an Employee of the recipient
         if: (1) such Employee is covered by a money purchase pension plan
         providing: (i) a non-integrated Company contribution rate of at least
         10 percent of Compensation, as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) but
         including amounts contributed by the Company pursuant to a Deferred
         Salary Agreement which are excludable from the Employee's gross income
         under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B) or 403(b), (ii)
         immediate participation, and (iii) full and immediate vesting; and (2)

<PAGE>   20

         Company 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.

1.35     MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT - The maximum Annual Addition that may be
         contributed or allocated to a Participant's Account under the Plan for

         contribution dollar limitation, or (b) 25 percent of the Participant's
         Compensation for the Limitation Year.

         The Compensation limit referred to in (b), shall not apply to any
         contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code Sections
         401(h) or 419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition,
         under Code Sections 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2).

         The defined contribution dollar limitation is $30,000 or if greater,
         one-fourth of the defined benefit dollar limitation set forth in Code
         Section 415(b)(1) as in effect for the Limitation Year.

         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 defined contribution
         dollar limitation multiplied by the following fraction:

                  Number of months in the short Limitation Year
                                       12

1.36     ONE-YEAR BREAK IN SERVICE - A 12-consecutive month period (computation

         Participant is not required to contribute to the Plan and the
         contributions shall not cause the Company to contribute additional
         amounts to the Plan on behalf of a Participant, but they provide
         additional benefits for the Participant under the Plan.

         Plan as applied separately to the Company.

1.44     QUALIFIED ELECTION - A waiver of an Automatic Joint and Survivor
         Annuity or a Preretirement Survivor Annuity. A waiver shall not be
         effective unless: (a) the Participant's Spouse consents in writing to
         the election; (b) the election designates a specific Beneficiary,
         including any class of Beneficiaries or any contingent Beneficiary,
         which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the Spouse
         expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further
         spousal consent); (c) the Spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of
         the election; and (d) the Spouse's consent is witnessed by a plan
         representative or notary public. Additionally, a Participant's waiver
         of the Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity shall not be effective
         unless the election designates a form of benefit payment which may not
         be changed without spousal consent (or the Spouse expressly permits
         designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent).
         If it is established to the satisfaction of a plan representative that
         there is no Spouse or that the Spouse cannot be located, a waiver shall
         be deemed a Qualified Election.

         Any consent by a Spouse obtained under this provision (or establishment
         that the consent of a Spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective
         only with respect to such Spouse. A consent that permits designations
         by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by such
         Spouse must acknowledge that the Spouse has the right to limit consent
         to a specific Beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where
         applicable, and that the Spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either
         or both of such rights. A revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a
         Participant without the consent of the Spouse at any time before the
         commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be
         limited. No consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless
         the Participant has received notice as provided in Paragraph 14.3.

1.45     SPOUSE - The Spouse or surviving spouse of the Participant, provided
         that a former spouse shall be treated as the Spouse or surviving spouse
         and a current spouse shall not be treated as the Spouse or surviving
         spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations
         order as described in Code Section 414(p).

1.46     STRAIGHT LIFE ANNUITY - An annuity payable in equal installments for
         the life of the Participant that terminates upon the Participant's
         death.

                                       13
<PAGE>   22

1.47     TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT - The separation from service of the
         Participant before Normal Retirement Date other than by reason of
         death, disability as determined under Section (F)or early retirement,
         if elected in Section (F).

1.48     VALUATION DATE - Each Business Day.

1.49     YEAR OF SERVICE - A 12-consecutive month period (computation period)
         during which the Employee completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service.
         The applicable 12-consecutive month period for eligibility and
         participation purposes can be found in Part III, and for vesting in
         Part IX.

                           PART II - CREDITING SERVICE

2.1      GENERAL METHOD OF CREDITING SERVICE. The Administrator shall count
         actual Hours of Service during the applicable 12-consecutive month
         computation period as elected under Section (D). The Employee shall
         receive credit for a Year of Service if the Employee is credited with
         1000 or more Hours of Service during the computation period and shall
         incur a One-Year Break in Service if the Participant is not credited
         with more than 500 Hours of Service during the computation period. In
         general, the Employee's entitlement with respect to participation and
         vesting shall be determined by totaling the number of Years of Service
         credited to the Employee.

2.2      EQUIVALENCY METHODS BASED UPON PERIODS OF EMPLOYMENT. The Administrator
         shall credit the Employee with a specified number of Hours of Service
         for each period of employment if the Employee would receive credit for
         at least one Hour of Service in that period of employment as elected
         under Section (D). The periods of employment on which equivalency may
         be based, if applicable and subject to this election, are: days worked,
         weeks worked, semi-monthly payroll period and months worked. The
         Employee shall receive credit for a Year of Service if the Employee is
         credited with 1000 or more equivalency Hours of Service during a
         computation period and shall incur a One-Year Break in Service if the
         Participant does not complete more than 500 equivalency Hours of
         Service during the computation period. In general, the Employee's
         entitlement with respect to participation and vesting shall be
         determined by totaling the number of Years of Service credited to the
         Employee.

2.3      ONE METHOD OF CREDITING SERVICE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. The Administrator
         shall credit Service for all classifications of Employees under the
         Plan using the same method of crediting service set forth in Section
         (D).

2.4      SERVICE WITH A PREDECESSOR EMPLOYER. Where the Company maintains the
         plan of a predecessor employer, service for such predecessor employer
         shall be treated as service for the Company for purposes of determining
         an Employee's eligibility to participate in the Plan and vesting. Where
         a Company establishes the Plan which was not maintained by a
         predecessor employer, service with the

                                       14
<PAGE>   23

         predecessor employer, including a sole proprietorship or partnership,
         shall be treated as service with the Company for eligibility to
         participate and vesting only if elected by the Company in Section (D).

                    PART III - ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

3.1      ELIGIBILITY. Each present and future Employee of the Company shall be
         entitled to participate in this Plan on the Effective Date or on an
         Entry Date coincident with or immediately following the date on which
         he satisfies the classification, service, and age requirements set
         forth in Section (D). If this Plan amends and restates a former plan
         that was qualified under Code Sections 401(a) or 403(a), each Employee
         who was a Participant (or entitled to participate) in the former plan
         on the day before the Effective Date of this restated Plan shall
         continue as a Participant (or continue to be entitled to participate)
         in the Plan.

3.2      ELIGIBILITY COMPUTATION PERIOD. Years of Service and Breaks in Service
         shall be measured on the same eligibility computation period. The
         initial eligibility computation period is the 12-consecutive month
         period beginning on the date the Employee first performs an Hour of
         Service for the Company (employment commencement date).

         The succeeding 12-consecutive month periods commence with the first
         Plan Year which commences prior to the first anniversary of the
         Employee's employment commencement date regardless of whether the
         Employee is entitled to be credited with 1,000 Hours of Service during
         the initial eligibility computation period. An Employee who is credited
         with 1,000 Hours of Service in both the initial eligibility computation
         period and the first Plan Year which commences prior to the first
         anniversary of the Employee's initial eligibility computation period
         shall be credited with two Years of Service for purposes of eligibility
         to participate.

3.3      BREAK IN SERVICE/RETURN TO SERVICE. A former Participant shall become a
         Participant immediately upon his return to the employ of the Company if
         such former Participant had a nonforfeitable right to all or a portion
         of his account balance derived from Company contributions at the time
         of his termination.

         For a former Participant who did not have any nonforfeitable right to
         the account balance derived from Company contributions, Years of
         Service before a period of consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service shall
         not be taken into account in computing eligibility service if the
         number of consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service in such period equals
         or exceeds the greater of 5 or the aggregate number of Years of
         Service. Such aggregate number of Years of Service shall not include
         any Years of Service disregarded under the preceding sentence by reason
         of prior Breaks in Service.

         If a Participant's Years of Service are disregarded pursuant to the
         preceding paragraph, such Participant shall be treated as a new
         Employee for eligibility purposes. If a Participant's Years of Service
         may not be disregarded pursuant to the

                                       15
<PAGE>   24

         preceding paragraph, such Participant shall continue to participate in
         the Plan, or, if terminated, shall participate immediately upon
         reemployment.

         In the event a Participant is no longer a member of an eligible class
         of Employees and becomes ineligible to participate but has not incurred
         a Break in Service, such Employee shall participate immediately upon
         returning to an eligible class of Employees. If such Participant incurs
         a Break in Service, eligibility shall be determined pursuant to the
         three preceding paragraphs.

         In the event an Employee who is not a member of the eligible class of
         Employees becomes a member of the eligible class, such Employee shall
         participate immediately if such Employee has satisfied the minimum age
         and service requirements and would have otherwise previously become a
         Participant.

3.4      NOTIFICATION OF ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES. The Administrator shall notify each
         Employee of his right to participate in the Plan prior to the Entry
         Date he first becomes entitled to participate. On the date of such
         notification, the Administrator shall furnish such Employee with a
         summary plan description of the Plan, the options available to him
         under the Plan and an enrollment form. If a Participant requests to
         have a Policy purchased on his behalf, the Participant shall also
         complete an application for the Policy. To become a Participant as of
         the Entry Date provided in Section (D), the Employee must complete the
         form and file it with the Administrator not later than one week after
         his Entry Date. If the Employee files the form later than one week
         after his Entry Date, he shall become a Participant on the first day of
         the second calendar month next following the date he files the form.

3.5      CONDITIONS OF CONTINUED PARTICIPATION. As a condition of continued
         participation under the Plan, each Participant agrees to:

         (a)      Limit his recourse for payment of any benefits to which he is
                  entitled to the assets of the Plan;

         (b)      Complete and file with the Administrator an enrollment form, a
                  Deferred Salary Agreement and such other forms as required by
                  the Administrator or Insurance Company;

         (c)      Submit such evidence of insurability as may be required; and

         (d)      Provide the Administrator with such information about himself
                  and his Beneficiary as required by Paragraph 19.10.

                             PART IV - CONTRIBUTIONS

4.1      CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN. The Company shall contribute to the Plan,
         for each Plan Year:

                                       16
<PAGE>   25

         (a)      Elective Deferrals (if elected in Section (G));

         (b)      Company Matching Contributions (if elected in Section (I));

         (c)      Company Qualified Matching Contributions (if elected in
                  Section (I));

         (d)      Company Profit-Sharing Contributions (if elected in Section
                  (K)); and

         (e)      Company Qualified Nonelective Contributions (if elected in
                  Section (H)).

         Each Participant may, by written direction to the Administrator, elect
         to make to the Plan:

         (a)      Participant Matched Contributions (if permitted by Section
                  (J));

         (b)      Participant Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions (if
                  permitted by Section (J)).

         The Participant may suspend his contributions, if allowed, during any
         time period by filing a written notice with the Administrator.

4.2      LIMITATIONS ON ELECTIVE DEFERRALS.

         (a)      Maximum Amount of Elective Deferrals: No Participant shall be
                  permitted to have Elective Deferrals made under this Plan, or
                  any other qualified plan maintained by the Company, during the
                  Participant's taxable year, in excess of the dollar
                  limitations contained in Code Section 402(g) in effect at the
                  beginning of such taxable year. With respect to any taxable
                  year, a Participant's elective deferrals are the sum of all
                  Company contributions made on behalf of such Participant
                  pursuant to an election to defer under any qualified CODA as
                  described in Code Section 401(k), a simplified employee
                  pension cash or deferred arrangement as described in Code
                  Section 402(h)(1)(B), any eligible deferred compensation plan
                  under Code Section 457, any plan as described under Code
                  Section 501(c)(18), and any Company contributions made on
                  behalf of a Participant for the purchase of an annuity
                  contract under Code Section 403(b) pursuant to a Deferred
                  Salary Agreement. A Participant may assign to this Plan any
                  Excess Deferrals made during a taxable year by notifying the
                  Administrator in writing on or before March 1st of the amount
                  of the Excess Deferrals to be designated to the Plan. A
                  Participant is deemed to notify the Administrator of any
                  Excess Deferrals that arise by taking into account only those
                  Elective Deferrals made to this Plan and any other plans of
                  this Employer. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
                  Plan, Excess Deferrals, plus any income and minus any loss
                  allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than April 15
                  to any Participant to whose account Excess Deferrals were
                  assigned for the preceding year and who claims Excess
                  Deferrals for such taxable year.

                                       17
<PAGE>   26

                  Excess Deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or loss. The
                  income or loss allocable to Excess Deferrals is the sum of
                  income or loss allocable to the Participant's Elective
                  Deferral account for the taxable year multiplied by a
                  fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant's Excess
                  Deferrals for the year and the denominator is the
                  Participant's account balance attributable to Elective
                  Deferrals plus any withdrawals of Elective Deferrals without
                  regard to any income or loss occurring during such taxable
                  year. In the event that any Excess Deferrals returned under
                  this Paragraph were matched by Company Matching Contributions,
                  those Company Matching Contributions, together with earnings,
                  shall be forfeited and applied under Paragraph 4.5(b).

         (b)      Actual Deferral Percentage: The Actual Deferral Percentage
                  (hereinafter "ADP") for Participants who are Highly
                  Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the ADP for
                  Participants who are non-Highly Compensated Employees for the
                  same Plan Year must satisfy one of the following tests:

                  (1) The ADP for the Participants who are Highly Compensated
                  Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ADP for
                  Participants who are non-Highly Compensated Employees for the
                  same Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

                  (2) The ADP for the Participants who are Highly Compensated
                  Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ADP for
                  Participants who are non-Highly Compensated Employees for the
                  same Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the ADP for
                  Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees does not
                  exceed the ADP for Participants who are non-Highly Compensated
                  Employees by more than two (2) percentage points.

                  "Actual Deferral Percentage" shall mean, for a specified group
                  of Participants for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios
                  (calculated separately for each Participant in such group) of
                  (1) the amount of Company contributions actually paid over to
                  the Plan on behalf of such Participant for the Plan Year to
                  (2) the Participant's Compensation for such Plan Year.
                  Compensation taken into account for this purpose may be
                  limited to Compensation received by an employee while the
                  employee is a Participant. Company contributions on behalf of
                  any Participant shall include: (1) any Elective Deferrals made
                  pursuant to the Participant's deferral election, including
                  Excess Deferrals of the Highly Compensated Employees, but
                  excluding Excess Deferrals of Non-Highly Compensated Employees
                  that arise solely from Elective Deferrals made under the Plan
                  or plans of this Employer and Elective Deferrals that are
                  taken into account in the Actual Contribution Percentage test
                  (provided the ADP test is satisfied both with and without
                  exclusion of these Elective Deferrals); and (2) at the
                  election of the Company, Company Qualified Nonelective
                  Contributions and Company Qualified Matching Contributions.
                  For purposes of computing ADP's, an Employee who would be a
                  Participant but for the failure to make Elective Deferrals
                  shall be treated as a Participant on whose behalf no Elective
                  Deferrals are made.

                                       18
<PAGE>   27

                  The ADP for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated
                  Employee for the Plan Year and who is eligible to have
                  Elective Deferrals (and Company Qualified Nonelective
                  Contributions or Company Qualified Matching Contributions, or
                  both, if treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the ADP
                  test) allocated to his accounts under two or more arrangements
                  described in Code Section 401(k) that are maintained by the
                  Company, shall be determined as if such Elective Deferrals
                  (and, if applicable, such Company Qualified Nonelective
                  Contributions or Company Qualified Matching Contributions, or
                  both) were made under a single arrangement. If a Highly
                  Compensated Employee participates in two or more cash or
                  deferred arrangements that have different Plan years, all cash
                  or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same
                  calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement.

                  In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code
                  Sections 401(k), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if aggregated with
                  one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy
                  the requirements of such Code Sections only if aggregated with
                  this Plan, then this Paragraph shall be applied by determining
                  the ADP of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan.
                  Plans may be aggregated to satisfy Code Section 401(k) only if
                  they have the same Plan Year.

                  For purposes of determining the ADP of a Participant who is a
                  5 percent owner or one of the ten most highly-paid Highly
                  Compensated Employees, the Elective Deferrals (and Company
                  Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching
                  Contributions, or both, if treated as Elective Deferrals for
                  purposes of the ADP test) and Compensation of such Participant
                  shall include the Elective Deferrals (and, if applicable,
                  Company Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified
                  Matching Contributions, or both) and Compensation for the Plan
                  Year of the family members (as defined in Code Section
                  414(q)(6)). The combined actual deferral ratio for the family
                  group shall be the actual deferral ratio determined by
                  combining the Elective Deferrals, Compensation and amounts
                  treated as Elective Deferrals of all the eligible family
                  members. Family members with respect to such Highly
                  Compensated Employees, shall be disregarded as separate
                  Employees in determining the ADP both for Participants who are
                  non-Highly Compensated Employees and for Participants who are
                  Highly Compensated Employees.

                  For purposes of determining the ADP test, Elective Deferrals,
                  Qualified Nonelective Contributions, and Qualified Matching
                  Contributions must be made before the last day of the
                  twelve-month period immediately following the Plan Year to
                  which contributions relate.

                  The Company shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate
                  satisfaction of the ADP test and the amount of Company
                  Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Company Qualified
                  Matching Contributions, or both, used in such test. The
                  determination and treatment of the ADP amounts of any

                                       19
<PAGE>   28

                  Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be
                  prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

4.3      EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS.

         (a)      Extra Contribution: If the ADP limitation in Paragraph 4.2(b)
                  is not met, the Company may elect to make an extra Company
                  Qualified Nonelective Contribution to eligible non-Highly
                  Compensated Employees sufficient to satisfy the ADP limit. The
                  contribution shall be subject to the distribution and
                  nonforfeitability requirements of Code Section 401(k).

                  If the Company does not make such a contribution, a corrective
                  distribution of Excess Contributions will be made in
                  accordance with Section 4.3(b) below.

         (b)      Corrective Distributions of Excess: The Company may also
                  satisfy Paragraph 4.2(b) by distributing the Excess
                  Contributions in accordance with this Paragraph. Excess
                  Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable
                  thereto, shall be distributed no later than the last day of
                  each Plan Year to Participants to whose accounts such Excess
                  Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year. If
                  such excess amounts are distributed more than 2 1/2 months
                  after the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess
                  amounts arose, a ten (10) percent excise tax shall be imposed
                  on the Company maintaining the Plan with respect to such
                  amounts. Such distributions shall be made to Highly
                  Compensated Employees on the basis of the respective portions
                  of the Excess Contributions attributable to each of such
                  Employees. Excess Contributions shall be allocated among
                  Participants who are subject to the family member aggregation
                  rules of Code Section 414(q)(6) in proportion to the Elective
                  Deferrals of each family member that are combined to determine
                  the actual deferral ratio. Excess Contributions (including the
                  amounts recharacterized) shall be treated as Annual Additions
                  under the Plan.

                  Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss
                  up to the date of distribution. The income or loss allocable
                  to Excess Contributions is the income or loss allocable to the
                  Participant's Elective Deferral account (and, if applicable,
                  the Company Qualified Nonelective Contribution account or the
                  Company Qualified Matching Contribution account or both) for
                  the Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
                  is such Participant's Excess Contributions for the year and
                  the denominator is the Participant's account balance
                  attributable to Elective Deferrals (and Company Qualified
                  Nonelective Contributions or Company Qualified Matching
                  Contributions, or both, if any of such contributions are
                  included in the ADP test) plus any withdrawals of these
                  contributions and without regard to any income or loss
                  occurring during such Plan Year.

                  Excess Contributions shall be distributed from the
                  Participant's Elective Deferral account and Company Qualified
                  Matching Contribution account (if

                                       20
<PAGE>   29

                  applicable) in proportion to the Participant's Elective
                  Deferrals and Company Qualified Matching Contributions (to the
                  extent used in the ADP test) for the Plan Year. Excess
                  Contributions shall be distributed from the Participant's
                  Company Qualified Nonelective Contribution account only to the
                  extent that such Excess Contributions exceed the balance in
                  the Participant's Elective Deferral account and Company
                  Qualified Matching Contribution account. In the event that any
                  Excess Contributions returned under this Paragraph were
                  matched by Company Matching Contributions, those Company
                  Matching Contributions, together with earnings, shall be
                  forfeited and applied under Paragraph 4.5(b).

         (c)      Recharacterization: If all Participants are eligible to make
                  Participant contributions under the Plan, the Company may also
                  satisfy Paragraph 4.2(b) by recharacterizing the Excess
                  Contributions. A Participant may treat his Excess
                  Contributions as an amount distributed to him and then
                  contributed by him to the Plan. Excess Contributions may only
                  be recharacterized in the Plan from which they arose.
                  Recharacterized amounts shall remain nonforfeitable and
                  subject to the same distribution requirements as Elective
                  Deferrals. Amounts may not be recharacterized by a Highly
                  Compensated Employee to the extent that such amount in
                  combination with other Participant contributions made by that
                  Employee would exceed any stated limit under the Plan on
                  Participant contributions.

                  Recharacterization must occur no later than 2 1/2 months after
                  the last day of the Plan Year in which such Excess
                  Contributions arose and is deemed to occur no earlier than the
                  date the last Highly Compensated Employee is informed in
                  writing of the amount recharacterized and the consequences
                  thereof. Recharacterized amounts shall be taxable to the
                  Participant for the Participant's tax year in which the
                  Participant would have received them in cash.

4.4      LIMITATIONS ON COMPANY AND PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS. The Actual
         Contribution Percentage ("hereinafter ACP") for Participants who are
         Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the ACP for
         Participants who are non-Highly Compensated Employees for the same Plan
         Year must satisfy one of the following tests:

         (a)      The ACP for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees
                  for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ACP for Participants
                  who are non-Highly Compensated Employees for the same Plan
                  Year multiplied by 1.25; or

         (b)      The ACP for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees
                  for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ACP for Participants
                  who are non-Highly Compensated Employees for the same Plan
                  Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the ACP for Participants
                  who are Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the ACP
                  for Participants who are non-Highly Compensated Employees by
                  more than two (2) percentage points.

                                       21
<PAGE>   30

         "Actual Contribution Percentage" shall mean, for a specified group of
         Participants for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios (calculated
         separately for each Participant in such group) of (1) the Participant's
         Actual Contribution Percentage amounts to (2) the Participant's
         Compensation for the Plan Year. Compensation taken into account for
         this purpose may be limited to Compensation received by an Employee
         while the Employee is a Participant. Actual Contribution Percentage
         amounts are the sum of the Participant Nondeductible Voluntary
         Contributions, recharacterized Elective Deferrals (Paragraph 4.3(c)),
         Participant Matched Contributions, Company Matching Contributions, and
         Company Qualified Matching Contributions (to the extent not taken into
         account for purposes of the ADP test) made under the Plan on behalf of
         the Participant for the Plan Year. Such Actual Contribution Percentage
         amounts shall not include Matching Contributions that are forfeited
         either to correct Excess Aggregate Contributions or because the
         contributions to which they relate are forfeited due to Excess
         Deferrals, Excess Contributions, or Excess Aggregate Contributions.
         Such Actual Contribution Percentage amounts shall include forfeitures
         of Excess Aggregate Contributions or Company Matching Contributions
         allocated to the Participant's Company Match Account, which shall be
         taken into account in the year in which such forfeiture is allocated.

         The Company may include in the ACP amounts, Elective Deferrals or
         Company Qualified Nonelective Contributions, or both, so long as the
         ADP test is met before the Elective Deferrals and Company Qualified
         Nonelective Contributions are used in the ACP test and continues to be
         met following the exclusion of these contributions that are used to
         meet the ACP test. The inclusion of Company Qualified Nonelective
         Contributions and Elective Contributions in the ACP amounts shall be
         performed in a manner consistent with the provisions of Reg. Section
         1.401(m)-1(b)(5).

         For purposes of computing the ACP, any Employee is eligible if he can
         make a Participant contribution, or an Elective Deferral (if the
         Company takes such contributions into account in the calculation of the
         Actual Contribution Percentage), or can receive a Company Matching
         Contribution (including forfeitures) or a Company Qualified Matching
         Contribution. If a Participant contribution is required as a condition
         of participation in the Plan, any Employee who would be a Participant
         in the Plan if such Employee made such a contribution shall be treated
         as an eligible Participant on behalf of whom no Participant
         contributions are made.

         The ACP for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for
         the Plan Year and who is eligible to have Actual Contribution
         Percentage amounts allocated to his accounts under two or more plans
         described in Code Section 401(a), or arrangements described in Code
         Section 401(k) that are maintained by the Company, shall be determined
         as if such Actual Contribution Percentage amounts were made under a
         single plan. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or
         more plans described in Code Section 401(a) or arrangements described
         in Code Section 401(m) that have different Plan Years, all such plans
         or arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be
         treated as a single plan.

                                       22
<PAGE>   31

         In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Sections
         401(m), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other
         plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such
         Code Sections only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Paragraph
         shall be applied by determining the ACP of Employees as if all such
         plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated to satisfy Code
         Section 401(m) only if they have the same Plan Year.

         For purposes of determining the ACP of a Participant who is a 5 percent
         owner or one of the ten most highly-paid Highly Compensated Employees,
         the Actual Contribution Percentage amounts and Compensation of such
         Participant shall include the Actual Contribution Percentage amounts
         and Compensation for the Plan Year of family members (as defined in
         Code Section 414(q)(6). The combined actual contribution ratio for the
         family group shall be the actual contribution ratio determined by
         combining the Participant contributions, Compensation, matching
         contributions and amounts treated as matching contributions of all the
         eligible family members. Family members, with respect to Highly
         Compensated Employees, shall be disregarded as separate Employees in
         determining the ACP both for Participants who are non-Highly
         Compensated Employees and for Participants who are Highly Compensated
         Employees.

         For purposes of determining the ACP test, Participant contributions are
         considered to have been made in the Plan Year in which contributed to
         the Plan. Company Matching and Qualified Matching Contributions and
         Company Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be considered made
         for a Plan Year if made no later than the end of the twelve-month
         period beginning on the day after the close of the Plan Year.

         The Company shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate
         satisfaction of the ACP test and the amount of Company Qualified
         Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions, or both,
         used in such test. The determination and treatment of the ACP amounts
         of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be
         prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

         In addition, a Company shall not allocate contributions to a
         Participant's Account which would result in an Excess Annual Addition
         under Part V, Limitation on Allocations. The aggregate Company
         contributions for any Plan Year may also be limited to the amount
         deductible by the Company under Code Section 404 with reductions made,
         in order, to Company Profit-Sharing, Company Matching, Company
         Qualified Matching, Company Qualified Nonelective and Elective Deferral
         Contributions.

4.5      EXCESS AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS.

         (a)      Extra Contribution: If the ACP limitation in Paragraph 4.4 is
                  not met, the Company may elect to make an extra Company
                  Qualified Nonelective Contribution to eligible non-Highly
                  Compensated Employees sufficient to satisfy the ACP limit. The
                  contribution shall be subject to the distribution and
                  nonforfeitability requirements of Code Section 401(k).

         (b)      Corrective Distribution of Excess: The Company may also
                  satisfy Paragraph 4.4 by distributing or forfeiting the Excess
                  Aggregate Contributions in

                                       23
<PAGE>   32

                  accordance with this Paragraph. Excess Aggregate
                  Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable
                  thereto, shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or if not
                  forfeitable, distributed no later than the last day of each
                  Plan Year to Participants to whose accounts such Excess
                  Aggregate Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan
                  Year. If such Excess Aggregate Contributions are distributed
                  more than 2 1/2 months after the last day of the Plan year in
                  which such excess amounts arose, a ten (10) percent excise
                  tax shall be imposed on the Company maintaining the Plan with
                  respect to such amounts. Any distribution or forfeiture of
                  Excess Aggregate Contributions for any Plan Year shall be
                  made on the basis of the respective portions of such amounts
                  attributable to each Highly Compensated Employee. Excess
                  Aggregate Contributions shall be allocated to Participants
                  who are subject to the family member aggregation rules of
                  Code Section 414(q)(6) in proportion to the Participant
                  contributions and matching contributions of each family
                  member that are combined to determine the actual contribution
                  ratio. Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be treated as
                  Annual Additions under the Plan. In the event that any Excess
                  Aggregate Contributions returned under this Paragraph were
                  matched by Company Matching Contributions, those Company
                  Matching Contributions, together with earnings, shall be
                  forfeited and applied under this Paragraph.

                  Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be adjusted for any
                  income or loss. The income or loss allocable to Excess
                  Aggregate Contributions is the income or loss allocable to the
                  Participant's Participant Contribution account, Company
                  Matching Contribution account (if any, and if all amounts
                  therein are not used in the ADP test) and, if applicable,
                  Company Qualified Nonelective Contribution account and
                  Elective Deferral account for the Plan Year multiplied by a
                  fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant's Excess
                  Aggregate Contributions for the year and the denominator is
                  the Participant's account balance(s) attributable to Actual
                  Contribution Percentage amounts plus any withdrawals of these
                  amounts and without regard to any income or loss occurring
                  during such Plan Year.

                  Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be applied
                  to reduce Company contributions. Excess Aggregate
                  Contributions attributable to amounts other than Participant
                  contributions, including forfeited matching contributions,
                  shall be treated as Company contributions for purposes of Code
                  Sections 404 and 415, even if distributed from the Plan.

                  Excess Aggregate Contributions shall first be distributed from
                  the Participant Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions Account.
                  To the extent that Excess Aggregate Contributions exceed the
                  balance in the Participant Nondeductible Voluntary
                  Contribution Account, the Excess Aggregate Contributions shall
                  be forfeited, if forfeitable, or distributed on a pro rata
                  basis from the Participant Matched Contribution accounts and
                  Company Matching Contribution accounts.

4.6      MULTIPLE USE OF ALTERNATIVE TEST. If one or more Highly Compensated
         Employees participate in both a CODA and a plan subject to the ACP test
         maintained by the Company and the sum of the ADP and ACP of those
         Highly Compensated Employees subject to either or both tests exceeds
         the Aggregate Limit, then the ADP or ACP of those Highly Compensated
         Employees who also participate in a CODA shall be reduced (beginning
         with such Highly Compensated Employee whose ACP is the highest) so that
         the limit is not exceeded. The amount by which each Highly Compensated
         Employee's Actual Contribution Percentage Amounts is reduced shall be
         treated as an Excess Aggregate Contribution. The ADP and ACP of the
         Highly Compensated Employees are determined after any corrections
         required to meet the ADP and ACP tests. Multiple use does not occur if
         both the ADP and ACP of the Highly Compensated Employees does not
         exceed 1.25 multiplied by the ADP and ACP of the non-Highly Compensated
         Employees.

         The "Aggregate Limit" shall mean the greater of:

         (a) the sum of (i) 125 percent of the greater of the ADP of the
         non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year or the ACP of
         non-Highly Compensated Employees under the Plan subject to Code Section
         401(m) for the Plan Year beginning with or within the Plan Year of the
         CODA and (ii) two percentage points plus the lesser of the relevant ADP
         or the relevant ACP. In no event, however, shall this amount exceed
         twice the lesser of the relevant ADP or the relevant ACP; or

         (b) (i) 125 percent of the lesser of the ADP of the non-Highly
         Compensated Employees for the Plan Year or the ACP of non-Highly
         Compensated Employees under the Plan subject to Code Section 401(m) for
         the Plan Year beginning with or within the Plan Year of the CODA and
         (ii) two percentage points plus the greater of the relevant ADP or the
         relevant ACP. In no event, however, shall this amount exceed twice the
         greater of the relevant ADP or the relevant ACP.

4.7      PERMITTED DISPARITY. Unless elected otherwise in Section (K), the
         Company Profit-Sharing Contribution for the Plan Year shall be
         allocated to each Participant's account:

         First, in the ratio that each Participant's Compensation not in excess
         of the integration level bears to all Participants' Compensation not in
         excess of the integration level, but such allocation percentage shall
         not be in excess of the profit-sharing maximum disparity rate.

         Second, any remaining contribution shall be allocated to each
         Participant's account in the ratio that each Participant's Compensation
         for the Plan Year in excess of the integration level bears to the
         excess Compensation of all Participants. This excess contribution, as a
         percentage of excess Compensation, cannot exceed two times the
         allocation percentage of the above paragraph.

         Third, any remaining Company Profit-Sharing contribution shall be
         allocated to each Participant's account in the ratio that each
         Participant's total Compensation bears to the sum of all Participants'
         total Compensation.

                                       25
<PAGE>   34

         The integration level shall be equal to the taxable wage base or such
         lesser amount elected by the Company in Section (K). The taxable wage
         base is the maximum amount of earnings which may be considered wages
         for a year under Code Section 3121(a)(1) in effect as of the beginning
         of the Plan Year.

         The profit-sharing maximum disparity rate shall be as follows:

                  If the integration level is more than $0 but not more than 20
                  percent of the taxable wage base, the rate shall be 5.7
                  percent.

                  If the integration level is more than 20 percent of the
                  taxable wage base but not more than 80 percent of the taxable
                  wage base, the rate shall be 4.3 percent. If the integration
                  level is more than 80 percent of the taxable wage base, but
                  less than 100 percent of the taxable wage base, the rate shall
                  be 5.4 percent. If the integration level used is equal to the
                  taxable wage base, the rate shall be 5.7 percent.

         The Company Profit-Sharing Contribution for top-heavy plans shall be
         allocated in accordance with Paragraph 16.2, Minimum Contribution Under
         a Top-Heavy Plan.

         Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, for any Plan Year this Plan
         benefits any Participant who benefits under another qualified plan or
         simplified employee pension plan, as defined in Code Section 408(k),
         maintained by the Company that provides for permitted disparity (or
         imputes disparity), Company contributions and forfeitures will be
         allocated to the account of each Participant in the ratio that such
         Participant's Compensation bears to the Compensation of all
         Participants.

         Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1995, the
         cumulative permitted disparity limit for a Participant is 35 total
         cumulative permitted disparity years. Total cumulative permitted years
         means the number of years credited to the Participant for allocation or
         accrual purposes under this Plan, any other qualified plan or
         simplified employee pension plan (whether or not terminated) ever
         maintained by the Company. For purposes of determining the
         Participant's cumulative permitted disparity limit, all years ending in
         the same calendar year are treated as the same year. If the Participant
         has not benefited under a defined benefit or target benefit plan for
         any year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the Participant has no
         cumulative disparity limit.

4.8      COLLECTION OF PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS. Participant contributions
         shall be collected by the Company through payroll deduction or
         otherwise within the limits set forth in this Part. All such
         contributions shall be paid over to the Insurance Company.

4.9      COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS - TIMING. The Company shall pay its Contributions
         for each Plan Year on or before the time required by law for filing the
         Company's federal income tax return (including extensions) for the
         taxable year with respect to which the contributions are made.

                                       26
<PAGE>   35

4.10     COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS - PROFITS. If the Company elects in Section (M),
         Company contributions, including Elective Deferrals, may be made
         without regard to profits. The Plan shall continue to qualify as a
         profit-sharing plan for purposes of Code Sections 401(a), 402, 412 and
         417.

4.11     RETURN OF COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS. Except as provided below, no part of
         the Plan's assets shall revert to the Company or be diverted for
         purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Employees or their
         Beneficiaries:

         (a)      Any contribution made by the Company because of a mistake of
                  fact shall be returned to the Company upon written notice to
                  the Insurance Company. A contribution shall not be refunded
                  more than one year after the payment of the contribution.

         (b)      In the event that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
                  determines that the Plan is not initially qualified under the
                  Code, any contribution made incident to that initial
                  qualification by the Company must be returned to the Company
                  within one year of the date the initial qualification is
                  denied but only if the application for the qualification is
                  made by the time prescribed by law for filing the Company's
                  return for the taxable year in which the Plan is adopted, or
                  such later date as the Secretary of the Treasury may
                  prescribe. After the denial of qualification and upon receipt
                  of evidence thereof, the Contract, and Policies shall be
                  canceled and an amount equal to the value of all Participants'
                  Accounts as determined in accordance with the terms of the
                  Contract or Policies shall be paid to the Company.

         (c)      Any contribution made by the Company is conditioned on the
                  deductibility of such contribution, and shall be refunded to
                  the Company, to the extent disallowed, upon written notice to
                  the Insurance Company. A contribution shall not be returned
                  more than one year after the disallowance of the contribution.
                  If the Internal Revenue Service determines that the Plan is
                  not qualified, the amount returned shall be determined under
                  Paragraph 20.2.

4.12     ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS. Subject to approval by the Administrator and
         Insurance Company and if permitted in Section (M), an Employee who
         satisfies the classification requirements of Section (D) may contribute
         to the Plan an amount which qualifies as a rollover contribution within
         the meaning of Code Sections 402(a)(5), 403(a)(4), or 408(d)(3)(A)(ii).
         As such, the rollover contribution must have been distributed to the
         Employee from a qualified employee trust or qualified annuity plan or
         must be a directed rollover from such trust or plan to this Plan as
         specified by the Employee; or from an individual retirement arrangement
         ("IRA"), but only if such funds originated from a qualified employee
         trust or qualified annuity plan. The amount distributed to the Employee
         from the qualified employee trust, qualified annuity plan or IRA must
         be transferred to the Plan in cash within 60 days after the Employee
         receives it. The maximum amount which the Employee may rollover is the
         amount distributed to him less the sum of nondeductible employee
         contributions made to the prior qualified employee trust or qualified
         annuity plan. A

                                       27
<PAGE>   36

         lesser amount may be rolled over and the difference retained by the
         Employee. The amount retained shall be subject to tax.

         The Rollover Contribution shall be paid to the Contract, and invested
         as selected in Section (M). Rollover contributions shall be accounted
         for separately and shall be fully vested at all times. The separate
         account established for Rollover Contributions shall be withdrawn in
         accordance with Section (O).

4.13     TRANSFERS OF AMOUNTS FROM OTHER PLANS. If the Plan amends and restates,
         or replaces a former plan that was qualified under Code Sections 401(a)
         or 403(a), the Company may cause amounts from such former plan to be
         transferred into the Contract subject to consent of the Insurance
         Company. At the discretion of the Administrator and subject to the
         consent of the Insurance Company, the Plan may also accept other
         plan-to-plan transfers. The amounts so transferred shall be accompanied
         by written instructions from the Administrator identifying: the former
         plan; this Plan; the name of each Participant; the amount of any
         account balance transferred to the Plan from the former plan
         attributable to the contributions of each Participant and of the
         Company on his behalf; the vesting percentage for amounts attributable
         to Company contributions; and any other information that may be
         required by the Insurance Company.

         The Administrator shall advise the Insurance Company in writing of the
         allocation of such amounts within the Contract. The amounts so
         transferred may be deposited in the Participant's Account in accordance
         with the most recent allocation instructions or with special allocation
         instructions. The amounts transferred shall be distributed to
         Participants in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

4.14     PARTICIPANT DEDUCTIBLE VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS. The Administrator shall
         not accept Participant Deductible Voluntary Contributions which are
         made for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 1986.
         Contributions made prior to that date shall be maintained in a separate
         account which shall be nonforfeitable at all times. The account shall
         share in the gains and losses of the Plan in the same manner as
         described in Paragraph 8.1. No part of the Participant Deductible
         Voluntary Contribution account shall be used to purchase life
         insurance. Subject to Paragraphs 14.3 and 14.4, the Participant may
         withdraw any part of the Deductible Voluntary Contribution account by
         making a written application to the Administrator.

4.15     ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR OWNER-EMPLOYEES. If this Plan provides
         contributions for one or more owner-Employees who control both the
         business for which this Plan is established and one or more other
         trades or businesses, this Plan and the plan established for other
         trades or businesses must, when looked at as a single plan, satisfy
         Code Sections 401(a) and (d) for the Employees of this and all other
         trades or businesses.

         If this Plan provides contributions for one or more owner-Employees who
         control one or more trades or businesses, the Employees of the other
         trades or businesses
                                       28
<PAGE>   37

         must be included in a plan which satisfies Code Sections 401(a) and (d)
         and which provides contributions not less favorable than provided for
         owner-Employees under this Plan.

         If an individual is covered as an owner-Employee under the plans of two
         or more trades or businesses which are not controlled and the
         individual controls a trade or business, then the contributions of the
         Employees under the plan of the trades or businesses which are
         controlled must be as favorable as those provided for him under the
         most favorable plan of the trade or business which is not controlled.

         For purposes of the preceding Paragraphs, an owner-Employee or two or
         more owner-Employees shall be considered to control a trade or business
         if such owner-Employee, or such two or more owner-Employees together:

         (a)      own the entire interest in an unincorporated trade or
                  business, or

         (b)      in the case of a partnership, own more than 50 percent of
                  either the capital interest or the profits interest in such
                  partnership.

         For purposes of the preceding sentence, an owner-Employee, or two or
         more owner-Employees shall be treated as owning any interest in a
         partnership which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a partnership
         which the owner-Employee, or such two or more owner-Employees, are
         considered to control within the meaning of the preceding sentence.

                       PART V - LIMITATION ON ALLOCATIONS

5.1      MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT. If the Participant does not participate in,
         and has never participated in another qualified plan maintained by the
         Company, a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e),
         maintained by the adopting Company, or an individual medical account as
         defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), maintained by the Company, which
         provides an Annual Addition as defined in Paragraph 1.3, the amount of
         Annual Additions which may be credited to the Participant's Account for
         any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of the Maximum
         Permissible Amount or any other limitation contained in this Plan. If
         the Company contribution that would otherwise be contributed or
         allocated to the Participant's Account would cause the Annual Additions
         for the Limitation Year to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the
         amount contributed or allocated shall be reduced so that the Annual
         Additions for the Limitation Year shall equal the Maximum Permissible
         Amount.

         For purposes of applying Part V, Limitations on Allocations,
         compensation for a Limitation Year is the compensation actually paid or
         includible in gross income during such Limitation Year as defined in
         Paragraph 1.14 only.

5.2      ESTIMATE OF MAXIMUM. Prior to determining the Participant's actual
         Compensation for the Limitation Year, the Company may determine the
         Maximum

                                       29
<PAGE>   38

         Permissible Amount for the Participant on the basis of a reasonable
         estimation of the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year,
         uniformly determined for all Participants similarly situated.

5.3      RECONCILIATION. 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 Participant's
         actual Compensation for the Limitation Year.

5.4      EXCESS ANNUAL ADDITIONS. If, pursuant to Paragraph 5.3 or as a result
         of the allocation of Forfeitures, there is an Excess Annual Addition,
         the excess shall be disposed of as follows:

         (a)      First, any Participant Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions,
                  and any earnings thereon, to the extent they reduce the Excess
                  Annual Additions, shall be returned to the Participant.

                  Second, any Participant Matched Contributions, and any
                  earnings thereon, shall be returned to the Participant.

         (b)      If after the application of Paragraph (a) Excess Annual
                  Additions still exist, any Elective Deferrals and any earnings
                  thereon shall be returned to the Participant.

         (c)      If after the application of Paragraphs (a) and (b) Excess
                  Annual Additions still exist and the Participant is covered by
                  the Plan at the end of the Limitation Year, the Excess Annual
                  Additions in the Participant's Account shall be held
                  unallocated in a suspense account and used to reduce Company
                  contributions (including any allocation of forfeitures) for
                  such Participant in the next Limitation Year, and each
                  succeeding Limitation Year if necessary.

                  If after the application of Paragraphs (a) and (b) Excess
                  Annual Additions still exist, and the Participant is not
                  covered by the Plan at the end of the Limitation Year, the
                  Excess Annual Additions shall be held unallocated in a
                  suspense account. The suspense account shall be applied to
                  reduce future Company contributions (including allocation of
                  any forfeitures) for all remaining Participants in the next
                  Limitation Year, and each succeeding Limitation Year if
                  necessary.

                  The Excess Annual Additions in a Participant's Account shall
                  be determined as being first from Company Profit-Sharing
                  Contributions, then from Company Nonelective Contributions,
                  then from Company Qualified Matching Contributions, and
                  finally from Company Matching Contributions. Neither the
                  consent of the Participant nor the Participant's Spouse shall
                  be required to the extent that the distribution is required to
                  satisfy Code Section 415.

                  If a suspense account is in existence at any time during the
                  Limitation Year pursuant to this Paragraph 5.4, it shall
                  participate in the allocation of the

                                       30
<PAGE>   39

                  gains and losses. All amounts in a suspense account must be
                  allocated to Participants accounts before any Company or any
                  Participant contributions may be made to the Plan for that
                  Limitation year. Excess Annual Additions held in the suspense
                  account may not be distributed to Participants or Former
                  Participants.

5.5      IF COMPANY MAINTAINS OTHER DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS. Prior to
         determining the Participant's actual Compensation for the Limitation
         Year, the Company may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for a
         Participant in the manner described in Paragraph 5.2. This Paragraph
         applies if, in addition to this Plan, the Participant is covered under
         another qualified master or Prototype defined contribution plan
         maintained by the Company, a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code
         Section 419(e), maintained by the Company, or an individual medical
         account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), maintained by the
         Company, which provides an Annual Addition as defined in Paragraph 1.3,
         during any Limitation Year. The Annual Additions which may be credited
         to the Participant's Account under this Plan for any such Limitation
         Year shall be limited in accordance with this Paragraph, unless the
         Company provides other limitations in Section (U). Annual Additions
         shall not exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount reduced by the Annual
         Additions credited to the Participant's Account under the other plans
         and welfare benefit funds for the same Limitation Year. If the Annual
         Additions with respect to the Participant under other defined
         contribution plans and welfare benefit funds maintained by the Company
         are less than the Maximum Permissible Amount and the Company
         contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the
         Participant's Account under this Plan would cause the Annual Additions
         for the Limitation Year to exceed this limitation, the amount
         contributed or allocated shall be reduced so that the Annual Additions
         under all such plans and funds for the Limitation Year shall equal the
         Maximum Permissible Amount.

         If the Annual Additions with respect to the Participant under such
         other defined contribution plans and welfare benefit funds in the
         aggregate are equal to or greater than the Maximum Permissible Amount,
         no amount shall be contributed or allocated to the Participant's
         Account under this Plan for the Limitation Year.

         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 Participant's actual Compensation for
         the Limitation Year. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence or as a
         result of the allocation of forfeitures, a Participant's Annual
         Additions under this Plan and such other plans would result in Excess
         Annual Additions for a Limitation Year, the Excess Annual Additions
         shall be deemed to consist of the Annual Additions last allocated,
         except that Annual Additions attributable to a welfare benefit fund or
         individual medical account shall be deemed to have been allocated first
         regardless of the actual allocation date.

                                       31
<PAGE>   40

         If an Excess Annual Addition was allocated to a Participant on an
         allocation date of this Plan which coincides with an allocation date of
         another plan, the Excess Annual Additions attributed to this Plan shall
         be the product of:

         (a)      The total Excess Annual Additions allocated as of such date,
                  times

         (b)      The ratio of (i) the Annual Additions allocated to the
                  Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date under this
                  Plan to (ii) the total Annual Additions allocated to the
                  Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date under this
                  and all the other qualified Master or Prototype defined
                  contribution plans.

         Any Excess Annual Additions attributed to the Plan shall be disposed of
         in the manner described in Paragraph 5.4.

5.6      IF COMPANY MAINTAINS OTHER PLANS. If the Participant is covered under
         another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Company
         which is not a master or Prototype Plan, Annual Additions which may be
         credited to the Participant's Account under this Plan for any
         Limitation Year shall be limited in accordance with Paragraphs 5.1
         through 5.6 as though the other plan were a master or Prototype Plan
         unless the Company provides other limitations in Section (T).

         If the Company maintains, or at any time maintained, a qualified
         defined benefit plan covering any Participant in this Plan, the sum of
         the Participant's Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and Defined
         Contribution Plan Fraction shall not exceed 1.0 in any Limitation Year.
         The Annual Additions which may be credited to the Participant's Account
         under this Plan for any Limitation Year shall be limited in accordance
         with Section (T).

5.7      CONTROLLED GROUP OF EMPLOYERS, ETC. For purposes of this Part, Employer
         shall mean the Company that adopts this Plan, and all members of a
         controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code Section 414(b) as
         modified by Code Section 415(h)), all commonly controlled trades or
         businesses (as defined in Code Section 414(c) as modified by Code
         Section 415(h)), or affiliated service groups (as defined in Code
         Section 414(m)), of which the adopting Company is a part, and any other
         entity required to be aggregated with the Company pursuant to
         Regulations under Code Section 414(o).

5.8      DEFINITIONS.

         (a)      Defined Benefit Fraction - A fraction, the numerator of which
                  is the sum of a Participant's Projected Annual Benefit under
                  all the defined benefit plans (whether or not terminated)
                  maintained by the Company, and the denominator of which is the
                  lesser of: 125 percent of the dollar limitation determined for
                  the Limitation Year under Code Section 415(b) and (d) or 140
                  percent of the highest average Compensation, including any
                  adjustments under Code Section 415(b).

                  The highest average Compensation is the Participant's average
                  Compensation for the three consecutive Years of Service with
                  the Company that produces the highest average. A Year of
                  Service with the Company is the 12-consecutive month period
                  defined in Paragraph 1.49.

                  Notwithstanding the above, if the Participant was a
                  Participant as of the first day of the first Limitation Year
                  beginning after December 31, 1986, in one or more defined
                  benefit plans maintained by the Company which were in
                  existence on May 6, 1986, the denominator of this fraction
                  shall not be less than 125 percent of the sum of the annual
                  benefits under such plans which the Participant had accrued as
                  of the close of the last Limitation Year beginning before
                  January 1, 1987, disregarding any changes in the terms and
                  conditions of the Plan after May 5, 1986. The preceding
                  sentence applies only if the defined benefit plans
                  individually and in the aggregate satisfied the requirements
                  of Code Section 415 for all Limitation Years beginning before
                  January 1, 1987.

         (b)      Projected Annual Benefit - The annual retirement benefit
                  (adjusted to an actuarially equivalent straight life annuity
                  if such benefit is expressed in a form other than a straight
                  life annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity) to which
                  the Participant would be entitled under the terms of the Plan
                  assuming:

                  (i)      the Participant shall continue employment until
                           normal retirement date under the Plan (or current
                           age, if later) and

                  (ii)     the Participant's Compensation for the current
                           Limitation Year and all other relevant factors used
                           to determine benefits under the Plan shall remain
                           constant for all future Limitation Years.

         (c)      Defined Contribution Fraction - A fraction, the numerator of
                  which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the Participant's
                  Accounts under all the defined contribution plans (whether or
                  not terminated) maintained by the Company for the current and
                  all prior Limitation Years (including the Annual Additions
                  attributable to the Participant's Nondeductible Voluntary
                  Contributions to all defined benefit plans, whether or not
                  terminated, maintained by the Company and the Annual Additions
                  attributable to all welfare benefit funds, as defined in Code
                  Section 419(e), and individual medical accounts, as defined in
                  Code Section 415(l)(2), maintained by the Company), and the
                  denominator of which is the sum of the maximum aggregate
                  amounts for the current and all prior Limitation Years of
                  Service with the Company (regardless of whether a defined
                  contribution plan was maintained by the Company). The maximum
                  aggregate amount in any Limitation Year is the lesser of: 125
                  percent of the dollar limitation determined under Code
                  Sections 415(b) and (d) in effect under Code Section
                  415(c)(1)(A) or 35 percent of the Participant's Compensation
                  for such year.

                  If the Employee was a Participant as of the end of the first
                  day of the first Limitation Year beginning after December 31,
                  1986, in one or more defined contribution plans maintained by
                  the Company which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the
                  numerator of this fraction shall be adjusted if the sum of
                  this fraction and the defined benefit fraction would otherwise
                  exceed 1.0 under the terms of this Plan. Under the adjustment,
                  an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess of the sum of
                  the fractions over 1.0 times (2) the denominator of this
                  fraction, shall be permanently subtracted from the numerator
                  of this fraction. The adjustment is calculated using the
                  fractions as they would be computed as of the end of the last
                  Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987, and
                  disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of the
                  Plan made after May 6, 1986, but using the Code Section 415
                  limitation applicable to the first Limitation Year beginning
                  on or after January 1, 1987.

                      PART VI - PLAN INVESTMENT - CONTRACT

6.1      FUNDING POLICY. Plan benefits shall be provided under a Contract owned
         by the Company and any Policies purchased under Paragraph 7.1. The
         Company shall have the duty to establish attending policy to carry out
         the objectives of the Plan. The funding policy is intended to establish
         a desired ratio of fixed income to equity risk for the Plan taking into
         account plan liquidity and diversification needs, the type of qualified
         plan and the financial stability of the Company. The funding policy
         shall include the selection of investment funds offered by the
         Insurance Company and a determination of the portion of contributions
         and funds held under the Contract to be invested in the investment
         funds selected. The general funding policy of the Plan shall be at all
         times to maintain a balance between safety in capital investment and
         investment return. The funding policy should consider anticipated
         future contributions and rates of return on investments and should be
         designed to meet the short and long-term financial needs of the Plan.
         Once the Company has directed the investment of Plan assets under the
         Contract to achieve the basic assets mix objective, the Company shall
         monitor the Plan's participation in investment funds under the
         Contract. The Company shall meet periodically for the purpose of
         reviewing and, if necessary, revising the funding policy of the Plan.

         The Company may request the Insurance Company to amend the Contract to
         change the investment funds offered under the Contract. Any actions
         taken by the Company shall be communicated in writing to the
         Administrator and shall be recorded in the official records of the
         Company. The Company may delegate the responsibility for allocation of
         Plan assets among investment funds maintained by the Insurance Company
         to an investment manager by entering into an agreement for
         discretionary asset management services. An investment manager named by
         the Company shall serve at the pleasure of the Company, but may resign
         by a written resignation to the Company. The Company shall periodically
         review the performance of the investment manager.

                                       34

6.2      CONTRACT. The Plan shall be funded by a Contract issued by the
         Insurance Company. The Company shall execute the application for the
         Contract and shall be the owner of such Contract. The Contract shall
         provide for investment of contributions in the general investment
         account and/or separate investment accounts offered by the Insurance
         Company. The Contract shall provide for the valuation of assets and
         Participants' Accounts as of each Valuation Date. The Contract shall
         provide the terms and conditions by which sums may be transferred
         between such investment funds or withdrawn from the Contract.

6.3      INSURANCE COMPANY'S AUTHORITY TO DIRECT INVESTMENTS. The Insurance
         Company shall be the fiduciary with authority to carry out the funding
         policy of the Plan subject to the following limitations:

         (a)      All contributions made under the Plan by and for a
                  Participant, less applicable Plan and Contract expenses, and
                  premiums to provide Policies shall be invested, as directed by
                  the Company (or investment manager, if appointed) in written
                  allocation instructions to the Insurance Company in the
                  general investment account and/or separate investment accounts
                  of the Insurance Company to the extent permissible under the
                  Contract.

         (b)      The Insurance Company shall follow directions of the Company
                  (or investment manager, if appointed) concerning the exercise
                  or non-exercise of any power or options concerning the
                  Contract and any Policies held under the Plan. However, if
                  sums under the Contract are invested in the separate
                  investment accounts of the Insurance Company, the Insurance
                  Company retains the right to, in its sole discretion, exercise
                  any of the powers of an owner with respect to stocks, bonds,
                  securities or other property held in the separate investment
                  accounts. Sums held under the Contract may be transferred in
                  accordance with its terms among investment funds within the
                  Contract by direction of the Company (or investment manager,
                  if appointed).

         (c)      The Insurance Company shall follow the directions of each
                  Participant to the extent provided in Paragraph 6.4.

         (d)      The Insurance Company shall invest funds according to the
                  stated objectives of its various investment funds. The Company
                  may obtain a description of such stated objectives from the
                  Insurance Company. The Insurance Company does not make
                  investments with a view to the needs of a particular plan. The
                  Company (or investment manager, if appointed) retains the
                  responsibility for allocation of funds between the investment
                  funds.

         (e)      For purposes of determining the fiduciary responsibilities of
                  the Insurance Company, the Contract is the Plan asset with
                  respect to contributions invested in the general investment
                  account. To the extent the Contract also invests in separate
                  investment accounts of the Insurance Company, the Plan assets
                  shall be the assets held by the separate investment accounts.

                                       35

6.4      PARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS. If permitted in Section (M)(1), each
         Participant shall designate in writing the investment funds under the
         Contract in which his Participant contributions and Company
         contributions on his behalf are to be invested. The investment funds
         which shall be available shall be stated in the Contract. Subject to
         the terms of the Contract, such Participant direction may be to
         allocate 100 percent of such contributions to one of the investment
         funds or to allocate such contributions among more than one investment
         fund, provided that such allocation shall be integral percentages. The
         Administrator may establish minimum percentages for any contribution on
         account of any Participant that may be allocated to each investment
         fund. If permitted in Section L, forfeitures shall be reallocated in
         the same percentages and in the same investment funds allocable to
         Company contributions. A Participant may elect in writing to change his
         allocation of future contributions. Such election shall become
         effective upon receipt by the Insurance Company. Subject to any
         restrictions in the Contract, a Participant may elect in writing to
         transfer all or a portion of his Participant's Account between
         investment funds as often as permitted by the Contract. If a
         Participant fails to make an initial written election, his
         Participant's Account shall be allocated to an investment fund
         designated by the Company and if none is designated, to the Guaranteed
         Interest Account under the Contract.

6.5      COMBINING ASSETS OF MORE THAN ONE PLAN IN A SINGLE CONTRACT. With the
         consent of the Insurance Company, the assets of the Plan may be
         combined with the assets of any other qualified retirement plan of the
         Company, or an affiliated Employer which is a member of the same
         controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code Section 414(b)),
         the same controlled group of trades or businesses (as defined in Code
         Section 414(c)) or the same affiliated service group (as defined in
         Code Section 414(m)) as the Company; in a single Contract for
         investment purposes without terminating the separateness of such Plan;
         provided that, in such event:

         (a)      Accounting records shall be maintained so that the assets of
                  each Plan can be separately determined.

         (b)      All contributions to the Contract shall be accompanied by
                  written instructions from the Company designating the amount
                  or amounts allocable to each Plan in which such Company
                  participates.

         (c)      None of the contributions and assets attributable to one Plan
                  shall be used to pay benefits or expenses under any other
                  plan.

                  So long as the foregoing provisions are complied with, the
                  provisions of Paragraph 18.7 shall not be deemed to apply to
                  such combining of assets in one Contract.

                      PART VII - PLAN INVESTMENT - POLICIES

7.1      REQUEST OF PARTICIPANT. At the Participant's request and if permitted
         by Section (N), the Company shall purchase life insurance Policies from
         the Insurance Company for the benefit of a Participant and his
         Beneficiary and charged against the Participant's Account. The premiums
         for the Policies shall be paid with Company contributions as elected in
         Section (N).

7.2      LIMITATIONS ON PURCHASE. In the event a Participant directs the Company
         to purchase a Policy or Policies on the Participant's life, the Company
         shall limit the amount of Company contributions to be invested in the
         Policies as follows:

         (a)      Ordinary life - For purposes of these incidental insurance
                  provisions, ordinary life insurance policies are policies with
                  both nondecreasing death benefits and nonincreasing premiums.
                  If such policies are purchased, less than 1/2 of the aggregate
                  Company contributions allocated to any Participant shall be
                  used to pay the premiums attributable to them.

         (b)      Term and universal life - No more than 1/4 of the aggregate
                  Company contributions allocated to any Participant shall be
                  used to pay the premiums on term life insurance policies,
                  universal life insurance policies, and all other life
                  insurance policies which are not ordinary life.

         (c)      Combination - The sum of 1/2 of the ordinary life insurance
                  premiums and all other life insurance premiums shall not
                  exceed 1/4 of the aggregate Company contributions allocated to
                  any Participant.

7.3      COMPANY IS OWNER. The Company shall apply for and shall be the owner of
         any Policies purchased under the terms of this Plan. The Policies must
         provide that proceeds shall be payable to the Company, however the
         Company shall be required to pay over all proceeds of the policies to
         the Participant's designated Beneficiary in accordance with the
         distribution provisions of this Plan. A Participant's Spouse shall be
         the designated Beneficiary of the proceeds in all circumstances unless
         a Qualified Election has been made in accordance with Paragraph 1.44.
         Under no circumstances shall the Plan retain any part of the proceeds.
         In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Plan and the
         terms of any Policy purchased hereunder, the Plan provisions shall
         control.

7.4      PREMIUM PAYMENTS. All Policies shall, as far as is practical, have a
         common premium due date. The Company shall pay the initial and renewal
         premiums under the Policies on any Participant's life. If no
         contribution is to be made at the time a policy premium is due, the
         Company may pay the premium by a policy loan or by withdrawing the
         amount from the Participant's Account under the Contract if the limits
         set forth in Paragraph 7.2 are not exceeded.

7.5      DIVIDENDS. At the discretion of the Company, a Policy may provide that:
         (i) dividends be applied to accumulate with interest, or to purchase
         annual additions, in which case dividends shall be added to the
         proceeds of the Policy for the benefit of

                                       37
<PAGE>   46

         the Participant or his Beneficiary, or (ii) dividends shall be used to
         reduce premiums. Any dividends paid after retirement, however, shall be
         paid to the Participant; and any dividends paid after the Participant's
         death shall be added to and become a part of the proceeds of the
         Policy.

7.6      DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES. Subject to Paragraph 14.3, if applicable, the
         Policies on the Participant's life shall be converted to cash or an
         annuity or distributed to the Participant upon commencement of
         benefits.

7.7      CHANGE IN AMOUNT OF INSURANCE. When an increase or decrease of the
         amount of insurance is required because of a change in the amount of
         contributions allocated to the Participant or because the aggregate
         Policy premiums would exceed the limits in Paragraph 7.2, the Company
         shall advise the Insurance Company to adjust the amount of the
         Participant's Policies.

7.8      POLICIES UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event a terminated
         Participant is entitled to the full value of a Policy on his life, the
         Participant may request the Administrator to transfer and distribute
         the Policy to him. In the event a terminating Participant is not
         entitled to the full value of the Policy, the Administrator after
         consulting with the Participant, may:

         (a)      Surrender the Participant's Policy and pay the Participant's
                  vested portion to him;

         (b)      Obtain a policy loan equal to the nonvested portion of its
                  value and distribute the Policy to him; or

         (c)      Sell the Policy to the Participant for an amount equal to its
                  cash surrender value. The proceeds of the sale shall be
                  credited to the Participant's Account. If the Participant
                  declines to purchase the Policy, the Policy may also be sold
                  to: (i) a relative of the Participant who is a Beneficiary
                  under the Policy, (ii) the Company, or (iii) to another
                  employee benefit plan in which he is a Participant.

                        PART VIII - PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT

8.1      PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT. A separate account shall be maintained for each
         Participant to which shall be credited the Company contributions and
         earnings thereon. At any time, a Participant's Account shall equal: (i)
         the sum of the value of accounts established and maintained under the
         Contract on behalf of the Participant as of the latest Valuation Date,
         and (ii) the value of any Policies on the life of the Participant.

         Contributions of a Participant shall be accounted for separately from
         the Company's contributions. The Insurance Company shall maintain
         appropriate contribution

                                       38
<PAGE>   47

         accounts for each type of contribution referred to in Part IV and made
         to the Plan, including accounts for:

         (a)      Elective Deferrals (if elected in Section (G));

         (b)      Company Matching Contributions (if elected in Section (I)) and
                  reallocated Matching Contribution forfeitures;

         (c)      Company Profit-Sharing Contributions (if elected in Section
                  (K)) and reallocated Profit-Sharing Contribution forfeitures;

         (d)      Company Qualified Nonelective Contributions (if elected in
                  Section (H));

         (e)      Company Qualified Matching Contributions (if elected in
                  Section (I));

         (f)      Participant Matched Contributions (if elected in Section (J));

         (g)      Participant Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions (if elected
                  in Section (J));

         (h)      Rollover Contributions, if permitted under Section (M); and

         (i)      Direct transfers from other plans.

         Contributions made by or for a Participant shall be credited to the
         Participant's Account as of the date such contributions are applied
         under the Contract. The amount of any premium for Policies purchased by
         the Company shall be charged against the value of the Participant's
         separate accounts under this Plan. Administrative expenses shall be
         charged against the value of the Participants' accounts, unless the
         Company agrees to pay them. Such administrative expenses, if charged
         against the value of the Participants' accounts, shall be allocated on
         a pro rata basis among the investment funds under the Contract.

         Premiums for Policies on the life of the Participant shall be paid for
         with Company contributions as elected in Section (N). If premiums for
         Policies are paid for with both Elective Deferrals and other Company
         contributions, then the cash surrender value of the Policies derived
         from Elective Deferrals shall equal the value which bears the same
         ratio to the cash surrender value of the Policies as the total amount
         of Elective Deferrals used to pay Policy premiums bears to the total
         amount of premiums paid. The value of the Policies derived from Company
         Matching and/or Company Profit-Sharing Contributions is the cash
         surrender value of the Policies on the Participant's life less the cash
         surrender value of the Policies derived from Elective Deferrals.

8.2      VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS. The Administrator shall determine the value of
         each Participant's Account at least annually as of the last Valuation
         Date on or prior to the last day of the Plan Year.

                                PART IX - VESTING

9.1      FULL VESTING IN CERTAIN SEPARATE ACCOUNTS. Each Participant shall at
         all times have a 100 percent vested interest in the following accounts:

         (a)      Elective Deferral account (if elected in Section (G));

         (b)      Participant Matched Contribution account (if elected in
                  Section (J));

         (c)      Participant Nondeductible Voluntary Contribution account (if
                  elected in Section (J));

         (d)      Company Qualified Nonelective Contribution account (if elected
                  in Section (H));

         (e)      Company Qualified Matching Contribution account (if elected in
                  Section (I));

         (f)      Rollover Contributions account if permitted under Section (M);
                  and

         (g)      Account for direct transfers from other plans.

         In addition, each Participant shall be fully vested in the cash
         surrender value of any Policy on his life derived from Elective
         Deferrals.

9.2      VESTING IN PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMPANY MATCHING AND
         PROFIT-SHARING CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Participant shall be vested in the
         value of his: (i) Company Matching Contribution account, if any; (ii)
         Company Profit-Sharing Contribution account, if any; and reallocated
         forfeitures (if reallocated under Section (L)); and (iii) the cash
         surrender value of any Policy on his life derived from Company
         Profit-Sharing and/or Matching Contributions as follows:

         (a)      100 percent upon attainment of Participant's Normal Retirement
                  Date (as elected in Section (F));

         (b)      100 percent upon retirement on or after Participant's Early
                  Retirement Date (if elected in Section (F));

         (c)      100 percent upon Participant's death prior to the date an
                  annuity becomes effective;

         (d)      100 percent upon Participant's Disability Retirement Date (if
                  elected in Section (F)); and

         (e)      at any other time, including Termination of Employment, the
                  percentage determined in accordance with the vesting schedule
                  specified in Section (R).

                                       40
<PAGE>   49

9.3      VESTING YEARS OF SERVICE/BREAKS IN SERVICE. All Years of Service with
         the Company shall be included for purposes of determining the
         Participant's vested interest under Paragraph 9.2(e), except that Years
         of Service shall not include Service disregarded in Section (R). For
         purposes of computing a Participant's nonforfeitable right to the
         Account balance derived from Company contributions, the Years of
         Service and Breaks in Service shall be the Plan Year.

         In the case of a Participant who incurred a One-Year Break in Service,
         Years of Service before such Break shall not be taken into account
         until the Participant has completed a Year of Service after such Break
         in Service.

         In the case of a Participant who has 5 or more consecutive One-Year
         Breaks in Service, all service after such Breaks in Service shall be
         disregarded for the purpose of vesting the Company-derived account
         balance that accrued before such Breaks in Service. Such Participant's
         pre-break service shall count in vesting the post-break Company-derived
         account balance only if either:

         (a)      such Participant has any nonforfeitable interest in the
                  account balance attributable to Company contributions at the
                  time of separation from service; or

         (b)      upon returning to service the number of consecutive One-Year
                  Breaks In Service is less than the number of Years Of Service.

         Separate accounts shall be maintained for the Participant's pre-break
         and post-break Company-derived account balance. Both accounts shall
         share in the earnings and losses of the fund.

                         PART X - IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWALS

10.1     IN GENERAL. A Participant or former Participant may request cash
         withdrawals or a Direct Rollover of an Eligible Rollover Distribution,
         under the Plan in accordance with Paragraph 14.4, if operative, and
         procedures established by the Administrator, subject to the sequence
         and conditions for withdrawal set forth in Paragraph 10.2. The minimum
         amount of withdrawal shall be set by the Administrator. If Paragraph
         14.3 is operative, withdrawals that may be made are subject to the
         spousal and Participant consent requirements contained in Code Sections
         401(a)(11) and 417.

10.2     SEQUENCE AND CONDITIONS FOR WITHDRAWAL. A Participant shall request the
         Administrator to effect a cash withdrawal and such amounts shall be
         debited from his Participant's Account. The Administrator shall
         withdraw amounts in the following sequence and upon the following
         conditions:

         (a)      First (if permitted by Section (O)), a Participant may
                  withdraw all or part of the value from his contribution
                  accounts for Participant Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions
                  and for Participant Matched Contributions.

                                       41
<PAGE>   50

         (b)      Second (if permitted by Section (O)), a Participant may
                  withdraw all or part of the value of his contribution account
                  for Rollover Contributions.

         (c)      Third (if permitted by Section (O)), a Participant may
                  withdraw all or part of the full value of his vested interest
                  determined under Section (R) in his contribution accounts for:
                  Company Matching Contributions; Company Profit-Sharing
                  Contributions; and transfers from Employer-provided benefits
                  from other plans.

                  If a Participant receives a withdrawal attributable to Company
                  contributions, the Participant's future vested interest after
                  the distribution shall be equal to an amount ("X") determined
                  by the formula:

                                X = P(AB + D) - D

                  For purposes of applying the formula: P is the nonforfeitable
                  percentage at the relevant time, AB is the account balance at
                  the relevant time, and D is the amount of the withdrawal.

         (d)      Fourth (if permitted by Section (O)), a Participant may
                  withdraw all or part of the value of his account for Elective
                  Deferrals, Company Qualified Matching Contributions and
                  Company Qualified Nonelective Contributions if the Participant
                  is age 59 1/2 or older. If a Participant is less than age
                  59 1/2, a Participant may withdraw upon written request to the
                  Administrator all or part of his Elective Deferrals (and
                  earnings thereon accrued as of December 31, 1988) due to
                  financial hardship.

10.3     FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. A withdrawal shall be on account of financial
         hardship if it is based on an immediate and heavy financial need of the
         Participant where such Participant lacks other available resources. The
         following are the only financial needs considered immediate and heavy:
         (1) expenses incurred or necessary for medical care, described in Code
         Section 213(d) of the Participant, his Spouse, children or dependents;
         (2) the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence
         for the Participant; (3) payment of tuition and related educational
         fees and room and board expenses for the next 12 months of
         post-secondary education for the Participant, his Spouse, children or
         dependents; or (4) the need to prevent eviction of the Participant
         from, or a foreclosure on the mortgage of, the Participant's principal
         residence.

         A withdrawal shall be considered necessary to satisfy an immediate and
         heavy financial need of the Participant only if:

         a.       The Participant has obtained all distributions other than
                  hardship distributions, and all non-taxable loans under all
                  plans maintained by the Company;

         b.       All plans maintained by the Company provide that the
                  Participant's Elective Deferrals (and Participant
                  contributions) shall be suspended for twelve months after
                  receipt of the hardship distribution;

                                       42
<PAGE>   51

         c.       The distribution is not in excess of the amount of an
                  immediate and heavy financial need (including amounts
                  necessary to pay any Federal, state, or local income taxes or
                  penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the
                  distribution); and

         d.       All plans maintained by the Company provide that the
                  Participant may not make Elective Deferrals for the
                  Participant's taxable year immediately following the taxable
                  year of the hardship distribution in excess of the applicable
                  limit under Code Section 402(g) for such taxable year less the
                  amount of such Participant's Elective Deferrals for the
                  taxable year of the hardship distribution.

10.4     NO FORFEITURE OF PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PARTICIPANT
         CONTRIBUTIONS. No forfeiture of the Participant's account shall occur
         solely as a result of the withdrawal of Participant contributions.

                           PART XI - PARTICIPANT LOANS

11.1     IN GENERAL. If permitted in Section (P) and if the Company has
         designated Trustees for this loan program pursuant to the Trust, a
         Participant or beneficiary who is a party-in-interest with respect to
         the Plan may request a loan under the Plan. All loans made by the
         Trustees shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
         Part and the Trust. A loan to a Participant is considered a
         Participant-directed investment.

         The Trustee shall have the responsibility to develop rules regarding
         the financial ability of the Participant to repay the amount he seeks
         to borrow and the authority to adopt additional terms and conditions,
         provided that all such rules, terms and conditions shall apply to all
         Participants uniformly. Loans shall be made available to all
         Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis and such availability
         shall be communicated to all Participants. The amount available to
         Highly Compensated Employees shall not be in an amount greater than the
         amount made available to other Employees.

         No loan shall be made to any owner-Employee or shareholder-Employee
         unless such Participant has applied for and received a prohibited
         transaction exemption. For purposes of this requirement, a
         shareholder-Employee means an Employee or officer of an electing small
         business (Subchapter S) corporation who owns (or is considered as
         owning within the meaning of Code Section 318(a)(1), on any day during
         the taxable year of such corporation, more than 5 percent of the
         outstanding stock of the corporation.

         The order of withdrawal from contribution accounts for loans are:
         Deferred Salary/Deferred Bonus, Qualified Nonelective/Qualified
         Elective, Rollover/Transfer, Company Profit-Sharing, Company Matching
         and Participant Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions, to the extent
         there are assets in the contribution accounts.

                                       43
<PAGE>   52

         The amount withdrawn from the Participant's accounts shall be prorated
         across all funds in which the accounts are invested.

11.2     APPLICATION FOR LOANS. The Participant shall make written application
         for a loan to the Trustee, on a form provided by the Administrator and
         executed by the Participant. The Participant shall execute a promissory
         note in the amount of the loan including interest, payable to the
         Trustee, which indicates the repayment period, the amount of loan, the
         rate of interest and other provisions pertaining to repayment of the
         loan.

         Loans must be adequately secured. At the time each new loan is made, in
         no event shall the sum of the new loan and remaining principal balance
         of any loan outstanding be secured by less than one-half of the
         Participant's current vested account balance under the Plan.
         Additionally, no more than 50 percent of the Participant's vested
         account balance will be considered by the Plan as security for the
         outstanding loan balance of all Plan loans made to that Participant.

         If Paragraph 14.3 is operative, a Participant must obtain the consent
         of his Spouse, if any, to use the account balance as security for the
         loan. Spousal consent shall be obtained no earlier than the beginning
         of the 90-day period that ends on the date on which the loan is to be
         so secured. The consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect
         of the loan, and must be witnessed by a plan representative or notary
         public. Such consent shall thereafter be binding with respect to the
         consenting Spouse or any subsequent Spouse with respect to that loan. A
         new consent shall be required if the account balance is used for
         renegotiation, extension, renewal, or other revision of the loan.

         If valid spousal consent has been obtained in accordance with the prior
         Paragraph, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the
         portion of the Participant's vested account balance used as a security
         interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to the
         Participant shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the
         amount of the account balance payable at the time of death or
         distribution, but only if the reduction is used as repayment of the
         loan.

11.3     AMOUNT OF LOAN. The minimum loan shall be $1,000. The aggregate amount
         of any new loan and of all other outstanding loans made to the
         Participant shall be limited to the lesser of:

         (a)      $50,000 reduced by the excess (if any) of the highest
                  outstanding balance of loans during the 1-year period ending
                  on the day before the loan application is approved by the
                  Trustee over the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on
                  the date the loan application is approved, or

         (b)      One-half the present value of the nonforfeitable accrued
                  benefit of the Participant.

                                       44
<PAGE>   53

         For the purpose of the above limitation, all loans from all plans of
         the Company and other members of a group of Employers described in Code
         Sections 414(b), 414(c) and 414(m) are aggregated.

11.4     INTEREST RATE. Loans must bear a reasonable rate of interest. The rate
         of interest shall be the prevailing rate used by commercial lending
         institutions.

11.5     REPAYMENTS. The loan repayment period shall not exceed five years. If
         elected in Section (P), this 5-year requirement shall not apply to any
         loan used to acquire a principal residence for the Participant. The
         maximum repayment period for such home loans shall be a reasonable
         number of years.

         Repayment of loans (principal and interest) shall be by payroll
         deduction, on a level amortization basis over the term of the loan. All
         loan repayments shall be transmitted monthly to the Insurance Company,
         and invested in accordance with Section (M). Subject to approval by the
         Insurance Company, a Participant may prepay all or a portion of the
         loan principal prior to separation from service.

         Loan repayments returned to the Participant's account(s) shall be
         prorated based on the amount of the loan withdrawn from the account(s).
         The money shall be placed in the Contract's funds and/or invested in
         Shares of the Fund based on the Participant's and/or Company's current
         investment selections, unless otherwise stipulated in a prepayment
         agreement with the Insurance Company and/or Fund. In no event shall any
         part of a Participant's loan repayment be allocated to an alternate
         payee's account.

         As of such valuation dates as the Trustee may set from time to time,
         but not less frequently than once every twelve months, the Trustee
         shall report to the Company the outstanding balance of such loans and
         the fair market value of the other assets held in the Trust.

11.6     DEFAULT AND/OR ACCELERATION. Default shall be defined in the
         Participant's promissory note or other loan documents. The Trustee must
         notify the Insurance Company when a Participant defaults on a loan
         repayment. In the event the Participant defaults on a loan repayment,
         the Trustee shall notify the Participant that the loan is immediately
         due and payable. The Trustee may also direct the Administrator to
         refuse to make any Plan benefit payment otherwise due to the
         Participant or Beneficiary until scheduled loan repayments are made, or
         to offset overdue loan repayments against the amount of benefits which
         otherwise may be due. In the event of default, attachment of security
         shall not occur until a distributable event occurs in the Plan.

         The loan must be paid in full upon the Participant's death, disability
         or separation from service, upon the Participant's failure to make loan
         repayments for three consecutive months or failure to receive
         Compensation in an amount at least equivalent to the periodic loan
         repayment amount for over three consecutive months, or upon termination
         of this Plan or the Trust. The Trustee may also direct the

                                       45
<PAGE>   54

         Administrator to offset the remaining loan balance against the amount
         of benefits which otherwise may be due the Participant or Beneficiary.

                      PART XII - TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

12.1     NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If the Termination of Employment
         of a Participant occurs, the Company shall immediately give written
         notice to the Administrator of the date of Termination of Employment of
         such Participant. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall
         determine the Participant's vested interest in his Participant's
         Account pursuant to Part IX, Vesting, or if the Plan is or was
         top-heavy pursuant to Part XVI.

12.2     AMOUNT OF PARTICIPANT'S BENEFIT. The amount of a Participant's Plan
         benefit upon Termination of Employment shall equal his vested
         Participant's Account. A Participant whose Termination of Employment
         occurs prior to the end of the Plan Year shall share in Company
         contributions and reallocations of forfeitures credited prior to his
         Termination of Employment, but shall or shall not share in Company
         contributions and reallocated forfeitures for such Plan Year credited
         after the date of his Termination of Employment as elected in Section
         (K) and (L).

12.3     PARTICIPANT'S ELECTION OF A FORM OF BENEFIT. If Termination of
         Employment occurs, the Participant shall receive his vested
         Participant's Account in a form of benefit elected by him, subject to
         the provisions of Paragraph 14.3 or 14.4, whichever is operative. The
         Participant's election shall occur within 60 days after the forms of
         benefit first become available to him. Written notice shall be made on
         such forms provided by the Administrator, including a form necessary to
         comply with Paragraph 14.3 or 14.4, whichever is operative. The forms
         of benefit are:

         (a)      Option A. The Participant may elect to continue his Account
                  until age 70 1/2 (if elected in Section (S)(1)), his Normal
                  Retirement Date or earlier, at which time he may elect Option
                  B, Option C, Option D, or Option E (if permitted in Section
                  (S)(1)). If the Participant dies prior to commencement of
                  retirement benefits, the value of the Participant's Account
                  shall be paid in one sum to his Beneficiary.

         (b)      Option B. The Participant may elect to receive an annuity in
                  accordance with Part XIV, Retirement Benefits, to commence on
                  his Early Retirement Date, if permitted in Section (F)(2), or
                  on his Normal Retirement Date as specified in Section (F)(1).
                  Once made this election shall be irrevocable.

         (c)      Option C. If permitted in Section (S)(1), the Participant may
                  elect a one-sum cash payment. Such election is subject to a
                  Qualified Election if Paragraph 14.3 is operative. One-sum
                  cash payments or a partial cash payment in addition to any of
                  the other options shall be made during the Plan Year in which
                  the event which gives rise to the distribution occurs or as
                  soon thereafter as is reasonably practical.

                                       46
<PAGE>   55

         (d)      Option D. If permitted in Section (S)(1), the Participant may
                  elect installment payments, in accordance with Paragraph 14.2,
                  to commence upon separation from service. Such election is
                  subject to a Qualified Election if Paragraph 14.3 is
                  operative.

         (e)      Option E. Subject to the consent of the Administrator and the
                  Insurance Company, and in accordance with procedures set forth
                  in the recipient plan, the Participant may elect a
                  plan-to-plan transfer. The account balance shall be
                  transferred to the Participant's account under a plan
                  maintained by his new employer that is qualified under Code
                  Sections 401(a) or 403(a).

         (f)      A Participant may elect to have any portion of an Eligible
                  Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement
                  Plan specified by the Participant in a Direct Rollover.

         If the value of the Participant's vested account balance derived from
         Company and Participant contributions exceeds (or at the time of any
         prior distribution exceeded) $3,500, and the account balance is
         immediately distributable, the Participant and the Participant's Spouse
         (if Paragraph 14.3 is operative), (or where either the Participant or
         the Spouse has died, the survivor) must consent to any distributions of
         such Account balance. Consent is not valid unless the Administrator
         notifies the Participant and the Participant's Spouse of the right to
         defer any distribution until the Participant's Account balance is no
         longer immediately distributable. The notice shall acknowledge the
         right, if any, to defer distributions and must describe the investment
         features.

         Notwithstanding any form of benefit permitted under this Paragraph, if
         a distribution from a Participant's Account would cause the remaining
         account balance to equal or to be less than $3,500, such distribution
         will only be permitted if the entire vested account balance is
         distributed.

         An amount distributed to a Participant prior to his attaining age
         59 1/2 (except for amounts distributed due to disability, death,
         separation from service on or after attaining age 55 or equal periodic
         payments made for the life or life expectancy of the Participant and
         Spouse) may be deemed to be a premature distribution made during a
         taxable year. The distribution is subject to a 10 percent excise tax on
         the portion of the amount received which is includible in his gross
         income for the taxable year.

12.4     FORFEITURE OF NONVESTED PORTION OF PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT. If a
         Participant terminates employment, the amounts which were in excess of
         his vested interest shall be withdrawn from the appropriate investment
         funds under the Contract and under the Funds and any Policies and shall
         be allocated to the fixed investment option under the Contract. If the
         value of the Participant's vested account balance derived from Company
         and the Participant contributions is not greater than $3,500, the
         Participant shall receive a distribution of the value of the entire
         vested portion of such account balance and the nonvested portion shall
         be treated as a forfeiture. For purposes of this Paragraph and
         Paragraph 12.5, if the value of a Participant's vested

                                       47
<PAGE>   56

         account balance is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have
         received a distribution of such vested account balance. A Participant's
         vested account balance shall not include accumulated Participant
         Deductible Voluntary Contributions within the meaning of Code Section
         72(o)(5)(B) for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1989.

         If a Participant terminates service, and elects, in accordance with
         Section (T), to receive the value of the Participant's vested account
         balance, the nonvested portion shall be treated as a forfeiture. If the
         Participant elects to have distributed less than the entire vested
         portion of the account balance derived from Company contributions, the
         part of the nonvested portion that shall be treated as a forfeiture is
         the total nonvested portion multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
         which is the amount of the distribution attributable to Company
         contributions and the denominator of which is the total value of the
         vested Company derived account balance.

         In the case of a Participant who receives a distribution of part of his
         Account attributable to Company contributions and does not repay under
         Paragraph 12.5, the Participant's future nonforfeitable interest at any
         relevant time shall be equal to an amount ("X") determined by the
         formula:

                                X = P(AB + D) - D

         For purposes of applying the formula: P is the nonforfeitable
         percentage at the relevant time, AB is the account balance at the
         relevant time, and D is the amount of the distribution.

12.5     REPAYMENT. In accordance with Section (S), a returning Participant may
         repay the full amount of any distribution from the Plan attributable to
         Company contributions made on account of Termination of Employment. All
         or part of the amount of the distribution attributable to Participant
         contributions may also be repaid. Such repayment, if any, must be made
         before the earlier of:

         (a)      five years after the first date on which the Participant is
                  subsequently reemployed by the Company; or

         (b)      the date the Participant incurs five consecutive One-Year
                  Breaks in Service following the date of distribution.

         If a Participant receives or is deemed to receive a distribution
         pursuant to this Part and the Participant resumes employment covered
         under this Plan before incurring five consecutive One-Year Breaks in
         Service, the amount so forfeited, unadjusted for subsequent gains and
         losses, shall be restored to the Participant's Account at the end of
         the Plan Year, subject to the repayment requirement if elected in
         Section (S). Permissible sources for restoration of the Participant's
         Account are amounts forfeited from his Account, other forfeitures, and
         if necessary an extraordinary Company contribution sufficient when
         added to the forfeiture to restore the Participant's Account.

                                       48
<PAGE>   57

         Any Policy distributed to the Participant that is still in effect on a
         premium-paying basis on the date of repayment may be transferred to the
         Plan, and the cash value shall be counted as part of the amount repaid.

                             PART XIII - FORFEITURES

13.1     OCCURRENCE OF FORFEITURE. In accordance with Paragraph 12.4, a
         forfeiture shall occur as of the date a Participant terminates
         employment with the Company and receives a distribution. If the
         Participant does not receive a distribution, forfeiture shall occur
         after five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service. The forfeiture
         shall be the Participant's account attributable to Company Matching and
         Profit-Sharing Contributions which has not become vested under Part IX.
         In addition, a Highly Compensated Participant shall forfeit his
         nonvested Company contributions (and earnings thereon) in excess of the
         amount permitted under the Actual Contribution Percentage limits of
         Paragraph 4.4 and such forfeitures shall be applied under Paragraph
         4.5(b). A Participant shall not forfeit any part of his nonvested
         Participant's account attributable to Company contributions solely as a
         result of a withdrawal prior to retirement under Part X. Furthermore, a
         Participant shall not forfeit any part of his Participant's account for
         any other cause.

         The nonvested portion of a Company contribution or a forfeiture
         allocation credited to a Participant's account in a Plan Year following
         his Termination of Employment shall be allocated at the next allocation
         date.

13.2     APPLICATION OF FORFEITURES. Forfeitures shall first be allocated to the
         accounts of Participants whose benefits are entitled to be restored
         under Paragraph 12.4. The remaining forfeitures shall then be applied
         in the manner elected in Section (L). If forfeitures are reallocated, a
         Participant whose employment is terminated before the end of the Plan
         Year, but after he has completed 1,000 Hours of Service or more during
         the Plan Year shall or shall not share in reallocated forfeitures for
         the Plan Year allocated after the date of his Termination of Employment
         as elected in Section (L). Forfeitures derived from Company Matching
         Contributions and Company Profit-Sharing Contributions shall be
         reallocated to the account for Company Profit-Sharing Contributions of
         each Participant who is entitled to share in the forfeitures.
         Forfeitures shall not be reallocated to a Participant to the extent it
         would be an Excess Annual Addition under Part V, Limitation on
         Allocations. If more than one Company adopts the Plan, any forfeitures
         reallocated will be applied in accordance with Section (L).

                         PART XIV - RETIREMENT BENEFITS

14.1     NORMAL FORM OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT. The Normal Form of benefit shall be
         a one-sum cash distribution or, at the election of the Participant, the
         form of benefit described in Paragraph 14.2.

                                       49
<PAGE>   58

14.2     OPTIONAL FORMS OF BENEFIT. The Participant may elect a form of
         distribution consisting of installments, any form of annuity provided
         by the Insurance Company, a Direct Rollover of an Eligible Rollover
         Distribution or a partial cash payment in addition to the optional form
         of benefits described in this section, instead of the Normal Form
         described in Paragraph 14.1.

         Installment payments shall be made over a period not to exceed the
         Participant's (or the Participant's and Spouse's) life expectancy.

         Any annuity contract distributed herefrom must be nontransferable. The
         terms of any annuity contract purchased and distributed by the Plan to
         a Participant and Spouse shall comply with the requirements of this
         Plan.

14.3     SPECIAL RULE. This Paragraph shall be operative with respect to the
         Participant if it is determined that this Plan is a direct or indirect
         transferee of a defined benefit plan, money purchase plan, target
         benefit plan, stock bonus or profit-sharing plan which is subject to
         the survivor annuity requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417.
         In addition, this Paragraph applies to the Participant if at least one
         of the following two conditions are met: (1) the Participant elects
         retirement benefits in the form of a life annuity under Paragraph 14.2,
         and (2) on the death of the Participant, the Participant's vested
         account balance is not paid to the Participant's surviving Spouse in
         accordance with Paragraph 15.1.

         If this Paragraph is operative, the Normal Form of benefit shall be a
         life annuity. The Normal Form shall be paid to a Participant who is not
         married and does not elect a one-sum cash payment or an optional form
         of benefit under Paragraph 14.2. A married Participant's entire account
         balance (attributable to both Company and Participant contributions)
         shall be paid in the form of an Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity,
         unless a one-sum cash payment or an optional form of benefit is
         selected (pursuant to a Qualified Election) within the 90-day period
         ending on the annuity starting date. The annuity starting date is the
         first day of the first period for which an amount is paid as an annuity
         or any other form.

         In the case of an Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity, the
         Administrator shall provide each Participant no less than 30 days and
         no more than 90 days prior to the annuity starting date a written
         explanation of: (i) the terms and conditions of an Automatic Joint and
         Survivor Annuity; (ii) the Participant's right to make and effect of an
         election to waive the Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity form of
         benefit; (iii) the rights of a Participant's Spouse; and (iv) the right
         to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a previous election to
         waive the Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity.

14.4     WAIVER OF THIRTY-DAY PERIOD FOR CONSENT

         If the provisions of Paragraph 14.3 are not operative, a distribution
         may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Section
         1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given, that: (1) the
         Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has
         a right to a period of at least 30 days after

                                       50
<PAGE>   59

         receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to
         elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution
         option); and (2) the Participant, after receiving the notice,
         affirmatively elects a distribution.

14.5     AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT. The amount of a Participant's retirement
         benefit shall equal the Participant's vested account balance. The
         vested account balance is the aggregate value of the Participant's
         vested Account balances derived from Company and Participant
         contributions (including rollovers), including the proceeds of
         insurance contracts, if any, on the Participant's life.

         Upon retirement, contributions by or on behalf of a Participant shall
         cease. If a Participant retires prior to the end of a Plan Year, any
         contributions credited prior to retirement to his Participant's Account
         for the Plan Year shall be applied for him as part of his retirement
         benefit.

14.6     PARTICIPANT ELECTION OF A RETIREMENT DATE. A Participant shall be
         entitled to a retirement benefit upon separation from service:

         (a)      On or after his Normal Retirement Date as designated in
                  Section (F);

         (b)      On his Early Retirement Date as permitted in Section (F);

         (c)      On his Disability Retirement Date as permitted in Section (F).

         The Participant's Account shall be paid in a form and on a Retirement
         Date elected by the Participant. A Participant shall give the
         Administrator written notice of his intention to retire on a Retirement
         Date within 90 days prior to separation from service. Written notice
         shall be made on a form required by the Administrator.

         If a Participant separates from service before satisfying the age
         requirement for early retirement, if elected in Section (F), but has
         satisfied the Service requirement, the Participant shall be entitled to
         elect an early retirement benefit upon satisfaction of such age
         requirement.

14.7     PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT TO DEFER RETIREMENT. A Participant may defer
         retirement without Company approval. If, however, any Participant after
         the age of 65 is employed in a bona-fide executive or high policymaking
         position during the two-year period immediately before his retirement
         date and if such Participant is entitled to an immediate nonforfeitable
         annual retirement benefit from this Plan and from all other pension,
         profit-sharing, savings or deferred compensation plans of the Company,
         or any combination of such plans, which equals, in aggregate $44,000 or
         more, then the Company may provide for the retirement of such
         Participant on or after Normal Retirement Date without such
         Participant's consent.

         In the case of continued employment after Normal Retirement Date,
         Company contributions and forfeitures shall continue to be allocated on
         behalf of Participants. Investment gains and losses shall continue to
         be credited to the Participant's

                                       51
<PAGE>   60

         Account. A Participant who defers retirement after his Normal
         Retirement Date shall defer distribution of his Participant's Account,
         in accordance with Paragraph 14.8.

14.8     DISTRIBUTION OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS. If the Participant's Account
         balance is $3,500 or less, the entire Participant's Account shall be
         distributed. No one-sum cash distribution shall be made under the
         preceding sentence after the annuity starting date.

         Unless the Participant elects otherwise, distribution of benefits shall
         begin the first day of the calendar month coincident with or,
         otherwise, next following the later of:

         (a)      the Participant attaining age 65 (or Normal Retirement Date,
                  if earlier);

         (b)      the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant
                  commenced participation in the Plan; or,

         (c)      the Participant terminates service with the Company; provided,
                  however, that if the Participant's vested account balance
                  derived from Company and Participant contributions exceeds
                  $3,500, no distribution shall be made without the consent of
                  the Participant (and, if Paragraph 14.3 is operative,
                  surviving Spouse) before the Participant attains or would have
                  attained, if not deceased, the later of the Normal Retirement
                  Date or age 62. Failure to consent shall be deemed an election
                  to defer commencement of payment of any benefit.

         If allowed in Section (F), a retired Participant may also elect to
         defer payment of any benefit after retirement. However, the entire
         interest of the Participant must be distributed or begin to be
         distributed no later than the Participant's required beginning date.
         The required beginning date of a retired or active Participant is the
         first day of April following the calendar year in which such individual
         attains age 70 1/2, except as otherwise elected in accordance with Part
         XXI. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, if an active Participant
         attained age 70 1/2 in 1987 or earlier, and was not a 5 percent owner
         in any year since attaining age 66 1/2, the Participant's account
         balance can be distributed upon retirement. The minimum distribution
         for other calendar years, including the minimum distribution for the
         distribution calendar year in which the Participant's required
         beginning date occurs, must be made on or before December 31 of that
         distribution calendar year. A distribution calendar year is a calendar
         year for which a minimum distribution is required. The first
         distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding
         the calendar year which contains the Participant's required beginning
         date. Neither the consent of the Participant nor of the Participant's
         Spouse shall be required to the extent that a distribution is required
         to satisfy this Paragraph.

         All distributions required under this Part shall be determined and made
         in accordance with the Income Tax Regulations under Code Section
         401(a)(9), including the minimum distribution incidental benefit
         requirement of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Proposed Regulations.

                                       52
<PAGE>   61

14.9     MINIMUM AMOUNTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED FROM PARTICIPANT ACCOUNT. If a
         Participant has attained age 70 1/2, benefits to be distributed in
         installment payments will not exceed a period beyond the life
         expectancy of the Participant or the joint life and last survivor
         expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's Spouse. The amount
         required to be distributed for each calendar year, beginning with
         distributions for the first distribution calendar year, shall not be
         less than the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's benefit
         by the applicable life expectancy. If elected by the Participant, life
         expectancies shall be recalculated annually. Such election shall be
         irrevocable as to the Participant (or Spouse) and shall apply to all
         subsequent years.

         The Participant's benefit is the account balance as of the last
         Valuation Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the
         distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the
         amount of any contributions or forfeitures allocated to the account
         balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation
         Date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year
         after the Valuation Date. For purposes of this Paragraph, if any
         portion of the minimum distribution for the first distribution calendar
         year is made in the second distribution calendar year on or before the
         required beginning date, the amount of the minimum distribution made in
         the second distribution calendar year shall be treated as if it had
         been made in the immediately preceding distribution calendar year.

         Unless the Administrator directs in writing an alternative method of
         determining life expectancy in accordance with IRS Reg. Sections
         1.401(a)(9)-1 and 1.401(a)(9)-2, the life expectancy (or joint and last
         survivor expectancy) calculated using the attained age of the
         Participant (or Participant and Spouse) as of the Participant's (or
         Participant's and Spouse's) birthday in the applicable calendar year
         shall be reduced by one for each calendar year which has elapsed since
         the date life expectancy was first calculated. If life expectancy is
         being recalculated, the applicable life expectancy shall be the life
         expectancy as so recalculated. The applicable calendar year shall be
         the first distribution calendar year, and if life expectancy is being
         recalculated, such succeeding calendar year. If installment payments
         commence before the required beginning date, the date distribution is
         considered to begin is the date distribution actually commences.

         Life expectancy and joint and last survivor expectancy are computed by
         use of the expected return multiples in Tables V and VI of Section
         1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations.

                            PART XV - DEATH BENEFITS

15.1     PRERETIREMENT DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT. If the Participant dies before
         distribution of his interest begins, the Participant's account balance
         shall become fully vested. The account balance shall be paid to the
         Participant's surviving Spouse. The Spouse may elect whether to receive
         the Participant's account balance in the form of a Preretirement
         Survivor Annuity, installments, a one-sum cash payment, or

                                       53
<PAGE>   62

         as a Direct Rollover of an Eligible Rollover Distribution. If the
         surviving Spouse elects the latter option as the form of benefit, the
         requirements of Paragraph 12.3(f) shall apply.

         If there is no surviving Spouse, or, if the surviving Spouse has
         already consented in a manner conforming to a Qualified Election, the
         account balance shall be paid to the Participant's designated
         Beneficiary. Unless otherwise elected by the Participant, any portion
         of the Participant's interest payable to a designated Beneficiary other
         than the Participant's surviving Spouse shall be paid in the form of an
         annuity, installments, or a one-sum cash payment. A Qualified Election
         is not required with respect to the amount at risk portion of any
         Policies. For purposes of the foregoing consent requirements, the
         Participant's vested account balance shall not include amounts
         attributable to accumulated Participant Deductible Voluntary
         Contributions within the meaning of Code Section 72(o)(5)(B).

         Distribution of the Participant's entire interest shall be completed by
         December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of
         the Participant's death except to the extent that an election is made
         to receive distributions in accordance with (a) or (b) below:

         (a)      If any portion of the Participant's interest is payable to a
                  designated Beneficiary, distributions may be made over the
                  life or over a period certain not greater than the life
                  expectancy of the designated Beneficiary commencing on or
                  before December 31 of the calendar year immediately following
                  the calendar year in which the Participant died;

         (b)      If the designated Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving
                  Spouse, the date distributions are required to begin in
                  accordance with (a) above shall not be earlier than the later
                  of (1) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following
                  the calendar year in which the Participant died and (2)
                  December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant
                  would have attained age 70 1/2.

         If the Participant has not made an election pursuant to this Paragraph
         by the time of his death, the Participant's designated Beneficiary must
         elect the method of distribution no later than the earlier of (1)
         December 31 of the calendar year in which distributions would be
         required to begin under this Paragraph, or (2) December 31 of the
         calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the date of death
         of the Participant. If the Participant has no designated Beneficiary,
         or if the designated Beneficiary does not elect a method of
         distribution, distribution of the Participant's entire interest must be
         completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth
         anniversary of the Participant's death.

         For purposes of this Paragraph, if the surviving Spouse dies after the
         Participant, but before payments to such Spouse begin, the provisions
         of this Paragraph, with the exception of Paragraph (b) therein, shall
         be applied as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

                                       54
<PAGE>   63

         For the purposes of this Paragraph, distribution of a Participant's
         interest is considered to begin on the Participant's required beginning
         date (or, if the Spouse dies after the Participant, the date
         distribution is required to begin to the surviving Spouse). If
         distribution in the form of an annuity irrevocably commences to the
         Participant before the required beginning date, the date distribution
         is considered to begin is the date distribution actually commences.

         The entire Participant's Account shall be distributed if the
         Participant's Account is $3,500 or less. No one-sum cash distribution
         shall be made to the surviving Spouse under the preceding sentence
         after the annuity starting date or if the Account exceeds $3,500 unless
         the surviving Spouse consents in writing to such distribution.

15.2     PRERETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY. The Preretirement Survivor Annuity is
         an annuity for the life of the surviving Spouse. The surviving Spouse
         may elect to have such annuity distributed within a reasonable period
         after the Participant's death. If Paragraph 14.3 or 14.4 is operative,
         the Administrator shall provide each Participant a written explanation
         of the Preretirement Survivor Annuity in such terms and in such manner
         as would be comparable to the explanation provided for meeting the
         requirements applicable to an Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity.

         The applicable period for a Participant is whichever of the following
         periods end last:

         (a)      The period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in
                  which the Participant attains age 32 and ending with the close
                  of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the
                  Participant attains age 35;

         (b)      A reasonable period ending after the Employee becomes a
                  Participant;

         (c)      A reasonable period ending after Paragraph 14.3 first applies
                  to the Participant.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice must be provided within a
         reasonable period ending after Termination of Employment in the case of
         a Participant who separates from service before attaining age 35.

         For purposes of applying the preceding Paragraph, a reasonable period
         ending after the enumerated events is the end of the two-year period
         beginning one year prior to the date of the applicable event occurs,
         and ending one year after that date.

         In the case of a Participant who separates from service before the Plan
         Year in which age 35 is attained, notice shall be provided within the
         two-year period beginning one year prior to separation and ending one
         year after separation. If such a Participant thereafter returns to
         employment with the Company, the applicable period for such Participant
         shall be redetermined.

15.3     POST-RETIREMENT DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT. If the Participant dies after
         distribution of his interest has begun, the remaining portion of such
         interest shall

                                       55
<PAGE>   64

         continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of
         distribution being used prior the Participant's death. In the case of
         an installment payment option, installment payments remaining at the
         Participant's death shall be distributed as a one-sum cash payment.

15.4     DESIGNATION OF A BENEFICIARY. Subject to Code Sections 401(a)(11) and
         417, the Participant shall have the right to designate his Beneficiary
         and to change his Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the
         Contract and Policy. The Participant shall also have the right to
         designate or change the form of death benefit to his Beneficiary in
         accordance with the terms of the Contract and Policy. Any such right
         may be exercised by filing written notice(s) with the Insurance
         Company, and the effective date thereof shall be as provided in the
         Contract or Policy, whichever is applicable. If no Beneficiary is
         named, the payment of death benefits shall be made in accordance with
         the terms of the Contract and the Policy. A designation of a
         Beneficiary other than the Spouse of a married Participant may be made
         only as a Qualified Election.

                        PART XVI - TOP-HEAVY REQUIREMENTS

16.1     IN GENERAL. If the Plan is or becomes top-heavy in any Plan Year, the
         provisions of this Part XVI shall supersede any conflicting provisions
         in the Plan or Adoption Agreement. For purposes of this Part,
         compensation shall mean Compensation as defined in Section (E)(1) of
         the Adoption Agreement, but including amounts contributed by the
         Company pursuant to a Deferred Salary Agreement which are excludable
         from the Employee's gross income under Code Section 125, 402(e)(3),
         402(h)(1)(B) or 403(b).

16.2     MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION UNDER A TOP-HEAVY PLAN. Company contributions and
         forfeitures allocated on behalf of any Participant who is a non-Key
         Employee shall not be less than the lesser of 3 percent of such
         Participant's compensation or in the case where the Company has no
         defined benefit plan which designates this Plan to satisfy Code Section
         401, the largest percentage of Company contributions and forfeitures,
         as a percentage of the first $150,000 of the Key Employee's
         compensation, allocated on behalf of any Key Employee for that year.
         This minimum contribution is determined without regard to any Social
         Security contribution. The minimum contribution shall be made even
         though, under other Plan provisions, the Participant would not
         otherwise be entitled to receive a contribution, or would have received
         a lesser contribution for the year because of:

         (a)      the Participant's failure to complete 1,000 Hours of Service
                  (or any equivalent provided in the Plan),

         (b)      the Participant's failure to make Elective Deferrals, as
                  described in Section (G), or

         (c)      compensation less than a stated amount.

                                       56
<PAGE>   65

         Notwithstanding the above, the provision contained in the preceding
         Subparagraph shall not apply to any Participant who was not employed by
         the Company on the last day of the Plan Year. Also, such provision
         shall not apply to any Participant to the extent provided by Section
         (R).

         Elective Deferrals, Company Qualified Matching, and Company Matching on
         behalf of Key Employees shall be taken into account in determining the
         minimum contribution. However, Elective Deferrals on behalf of non-Key
         Employees may not be taken into account for the purpose of satisfying
         the minimum top-heavy contribution requirements. Further, Company
         Matching and Company Qualified Matching Contributions cannot be
         utilized to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements for Plan
         Years beginning after 1988.

16.3     NONFORFEITABILITY OF MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION. The minimum contribution
         required (to the extent required to be nonforfeitable under Code
         Section 416(b)) may not be forfeited under Code Section 411(a)(3)(B) or
         411(a)(3)(D).

16.4     TOP-HEAVY VESTING. During and subsequent to the first Plan Year in
         which this Plan is top-heavy, one of the minimum vesting schedules as
         elected by the Company in Section (R) shall automatically apply to the
         Plan. The minimum vesting schedule applies to all benefits within the
         meaning of Code Section 411(a)(7) except those attributable to
         Participant contributions and Elective Deferrals, including benefits
         accrued before the effective date of Code Section 416 and benefits
         accrued before the Plan became top-heavy. However, this Paragraph does
         not apply to the account balances of any Participant who does not have
         an Hour of Service after the Plan has initially become top-heavy and
         such Participant's account balance attributable to Company
         contributions and forfeitures shall be determined without regard to
         this Paragraph.

16.5     TOP-HEAVY DEFINITIONS.

         (a)      KEY EMPLOYEE: Any Employee or former Employee (and the
                  Beneficiaries of such Employee) who at any time during the
                  determination period was an officer of the Company if such
                  individual's annual compensation exceeded 50 percent of the
                  dollar limitation under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A), an owner
                  (or considered an owner under Code Section 318) of one of the
                  ten largest interests in the Company if such individual's
                  compensation exceeds 100 percent of the dollar limitation
                  under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A), a 5 percent owner of the
                  Company, or a 1 percent owner of the Company who has annual
                  compensation of more than $150,000.

                  For purposes of determining the number of officers taken into
                  account, Employees described in Code Section 414(q)(8) shall
                  be excluded. The determination period is the Plan Year
                  containing the Determination Date and the four preceding Plan
                  Years. The determination of who is a Key Employee shall be
                  made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1) and the
                  Regulations thereunder. For purposes of determining whether a
                  plan is top-heavy under Code Section 416, Elective Deferrals
                  are considered Company contributions.

                                       57
<PAGE>   66

         (b)      TOP-HEAVY PLAN: For any Plan Year beginning after December 31,
                  1983, this Plan is top-heavy if any of the following
                  conditions exists:

                  (i)      If the top-heavy ratio for this Plan exceeds 60
                           percent and this Plan is not part of any required
                           aggregation group or permissive aggregation group of
                           plans.

                  (ii)     If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation
                           group of plans but not part of a permissive
                           aggregation group and the top-heavy ratio for the
                           group of plans exceeds 60 percent.

                  (iii)    If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation
                           group and part of a permissive aggregation group of
                           plans and the top-heavy ratio for the permissive
                           aggregation group exceeds 60 percent.

         (c)      TOP-HEAVY RATIO

                  (i)      Defined Contribution Plan Only:

                           If the Company maintains one or more defined
                           contribution plans (including any simplified employee
                           pension plan) and the Company has never maintained
                           any defined benefit plan which during the 5-year
                           period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has
                           had accrued benefits, the top-heavy ratio for this
                           Plan alone or for the required or permissive
                           aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the
                           numerator of which is the sum of the account balances
                           of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s)
                           (including any part of any account balance
                           distributed in the 5-year period ending on the
                           Determination Date(s)), and the denominator of which
                           is the sum of all account balances (including any
                           part of any account balance distributed in the 5-year
                           period ending on the Determination Date(s)), both
                           computed in accordance with Code Section 416 and the
                           Regulations thereunder.

                           Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy
                           ratio are increased to reflect any contribution not
                           actually made as of the Determination Date, but which
                           is required to be taken into account on that date
                           under Code Section 416 and the Regulations
                           thereunder.

                  (ii)     Defined Contribution and Defined Benefit Plan:

                           If the Company maintains one or more defined
                           contribution plans (including any simplified employee
                           pension plan) and the Company maintains or has
                           maintained one or more defined benefit plans which
                           during the 5-year period ending on the Determination
                           Date(s) has or has had any accrued benefits, the
                           top-heavy ratio for any required or permissive
                           aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the
                           numerator of which is the sum of account balances
                           under the aggregated defined contribution plan

                           or plans for all Key Employees determined in
                           accordance with (i) above, and the present value of
                           accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit
                           plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the
                           Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which
                           is the sum of the account balances under the
                           aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all
                           Participants determined in accordance with (i) above,
                           and the present value of accrued benefits under the
                           defined benefit plans for all Participants as of the
                           Determination Date(s), all determined in accordance
                           with Code Section 416 and the Regulations thereunder.

                           The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in
                           both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy
                           ratio are adjusted for any distribution of an accrued
                           benefit made in the 5-year period ending on the
                           Determination Date.

                  (iii)    For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of
                           account balances and the present value of accrued
                           benefits shall be determined as of the most recent
                           Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the
                           12-month period ending on the Determination Date,
                           except as provided in Code Section 416 and the
                           Regulations thereunder for the first and second plan
                           years of a defined benefit plan. The account balances
                           and accrued benefits of a Participant (1) who is a
                           non-Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a
                           prior year or (2) who has not been credited with at
                           least one Hour of Service with any Employer
                           maintaining the Plan at any time during the 5-year
                           period ending on the Determination Date shall be
                           disregarded. The calculation of the top-heavy ratio,
                           and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and
                           transfers are taken into account shall be made in
                           accordance with Code Section 416(g)(4)(A) and the
                           Regulations thereunder. For purposes of determining
                           whether a plan is top-heavy under Code Section 416,
                           Elective Deferrals are considered Company
                           contributions.

                           When aggregating plans, the value of account balances
                           and accrued benefits shall be calculated with
                           reference to the Determination Dates that fall within
                           the same calendar year. The accrued benefit of an
                           Employee other than a Key Employee shall be
                           determined under (a) the method, if any, that
                           uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all
                           plans maintained by the Company, or (b) if there is
                           no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more
                           rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under
                           the fractional accrual rate of Code Section
                           411(b)(1)(C).

         (d)      PERMISSIVE AGGREGATION GROUP: The required aggregation group
                  of plans plus any other plan or plans of the Company which,
                  when considered as a group with the required aggregation
                  group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of Code
                  Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b).

                           one Key Employee participates, or participated at any
                           time during the determination period (regardless of
                           whether the Plan has terminated), and

                  (ii)     any other qualified plan of the Company which enables
                           a plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of

         (g)      VALUATION DATE: The date stated in Section (C)(4) as of which
                  account balances or accrued benefits are valued for purposes
                  of calculating the top-heavy ratio.

         (h)      PRESENT VALUE: Present value shall be based only on the
                  interest and mortality rates specified in Section (U).

                          PART XVII - INSURANCE COMPANY

17.1     NOT A PARTY. The Insurance Company is not a party to the Plan and is
         not responsible for the validity of the Plan as adopted by the Company
         or the qualification of the Plan under the tax laws.

17.2     NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTS OF THE COMPANY OR ADMINISTRATOR. The
         Insurance Company shall not be responsible to look to the terms of the
         Plan to determine whether or not any action of the Company or
         Administrator is authorized by its terms.

17.3     RELIANCE ON SIGNATURES. Any instruments executed by the Administrator

         liability for any amount paid to the Company or paid in accordance with

         altered.

            PART XVIII - AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, MERGER, ETC. OF PLAN

18.1     PERMANENCY. The expectation of the Company is that the Plan and the
         payment of contributions hereunder, shall be continued indefinitely,
         but continuance of the Plan is not assured as a contractual obligation
         of the Company. This Plan may be amended or terminated only as provided
         in this Part. All Plan amendments, including one to terminate the Plan,
         shall be adopted in writing by the Company's board of directors. Any
         material modification of the Plan by amendment or termination shall be
         communicated to all interested parties, the Department of Labor, and
         the Internal Revenue Service in the time and manner prescribed by law.

18.2     AMENDMENT BY INSURANCE COMPANY. The Company hereby delegates to the
         Insurance Company, the Sponsoring Organization, the right to amend the
         Plan and its Adoption Agreement and the Company and Administrator shall
         be deemed to have consented to such amendment. Such delegation shall be
         limited to the right to amend and shall not be construed to make the
         Insurance Company a party to this Plan or the Adoption Agreement. The
         Insurance Company shall, after amendment, contact each Company of
         record who has previously adopted the Prototype Plan and give the
         Company the opportunity to continue under the amended Prototype Plan.

18.3     PERMISSIBLE AMENDMENTS BY COMPANY. Subject to Paragraph 18.4, the
         Company, through its duly authorized management committee or by such
         persons as the committee delegates its authority, may (1) change the
         choice of options in the Adoption Agreement, (2) add overriding
         language in the Adoption Agreement when such language is necessary to
         satisfy Code Sections 415 or 416 because of the required aggregation of
         multiple plans, and (3) add certain model amendments published by the
         Internal Revenue Service which specifically provide that their adoption
         shall not cause the Plan to be treated as individually designed. A
         Company that amends the Plan for any other reason, including a waiver
         of the minimum funding requirement under Code Section 412(d), shall no
         longer participate in this master or Prototype Plan and shall be
         considered to have an individually designed plan.

         Any amendment shall be stated by executing an amended Adoption
         Agreement and delivering a copy of such amendment to the Administrator
         and the Insurance Company. Upon execution and delivery of the executed
         Adoption Agreement, the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be bound
         thereby.

                                       61

18.4     RESTRICTIONS ON AMENDMENTS. No amendment:

         (a)      Shall increase the duties of the Administrator without his
                  written consent.

         (b)      To the vesting schedule under Section (R) shall deprive a
                  Participant of his nonforfeitable rights to benefits accrued
                  to the date of the amendment. Further, if the vesting schedule
                  of the Plan is amended, if the Plan is amended in any way that
                  directly or indirectly affects the computation of a
                  Participant's nonforfeitable percentage, or if the Plan is
                  deemed amended by an automatic change to a top-heavy vesting
                  schedule, each Participant with at least 3 Years of Service
                  with the Company may elect, within a reasonable period after
                  the adoption of the amendment, to have his nonforfeitable
                  percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such
                  amendment or changes. The period during which the election may
                  be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted
                  and shall end on the later of:

                  (i)      60 days after the amendment is adopted;

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

                  (iii)    60 days after the Participant is issued written
                           notice of the amendment by the Company or
                           Administrator.

         (c)      Shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of
                  decreasing a Participant's accrued benefit. Notwithstanding
                  the preceding sentence, a Participant's account balance may be
                  reduced to the extent permitted under Code Section 412(c)(8).
                  For purposes of this Paragraph, a Plan amendment which has the
                  effect of decreasing a Participant's account balance or
                  eliminating an optional form of benefit, with respect to
                  benefits attributable to service before the amendment, shall
                  be treated as reducing an accrued benefit. Furthermore, if the
                  vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, in the case of an
                  Employee who is a Participant as of the later of the date of
                  the date such amendment is adopted or the date it becomes
                  effective, the nonforfeitable percentage (determined as of
                  such date) of such Employee's Employer-derived accrued benefit
                  shall not be less than the percentage computed under the Plan
                  without regard to such amendment.

         (d)      Shall change the funding method unless the new funding method
                  has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service.

         (e)      Shall change the Plan Year unless the new Plan Year has been
                  approved by the Internal Revenue Service or is permitted by
                  IRS Revenue Procedure 87-27.

18.5     TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Company expressly reserves the right to
         terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time without the consent
         of any Participant or Beneficiary. The Company shall give written
         notice of termination of this Plan to

                                       62
<PAGE>   71

         the Administrator and the Insurance Company. The Plan shall terminate
         upon the first of the following events:

         (a)      The date terminated by the Company without establishment of
                  another defined contribution plan;

         (b)      The date the Company is judicially determined bankrupt or
                  insolvent;

         (c)      The date of the disposition by a corporation to an unrelated
                  corporation of substantially all of the assets (within the
                  meaning of Code Section 409(d)(2)) used in a trade or business
                  of such corporation if such corporation continues to maintain
                  this Plan after the disposition, but only with respect to
                  Employees who continue employment with the corporation
                  acquiring such assets; or

         (d)      The date of the disposition by a corporation to an unrelated
                  corporation of such corporation's interest in a subsidiary
                  (within the meaning of Code Section 409(d)(3)) if such
                  corporation continues to maintain this Plan after the
                  disposition, but only with respect to Employees who continue
                  employment with such subsidiary.

18.6     FULL VESTING UPON TERMINATION. If this Plan is terminated or partially
         terminated or upon a complete discontinuance of contributions, each
         affected Participant shall be fully vested in his Participant's
         Account. Upon termination of this Plan, all unallocated forfeitures
         shall be reallocated among Participants' Accounts of those Participants
         then entitled to share in current allocations, without the restrictions
         of Section (L)(2). Following this final allocation, if any forfeiture
         causes a Participant's Account to be in excess of the limitation on
         allocations provided in Code Section 415, such excess will be disposed
         of in accordance with Part V of the Plan.

         The value of the Participants' accounts shall be distributed to all
         affected Participants as one-sum cash payments. However, if elected by
         the Administrator, all affected Participants shall have their benefits
         distributed to them in the form of an annuity under the Contract.

         If one-sum cash payments are made to the Participants and the Contract
         values include allocations to the general investment account of the
         Insurance Company, the amounts distributed shall be less any investment
         loss charges and other deductions authorized by the Contract. Any
         distributions pursuant to this Paragraph are subject to the spousal and
         Participant consent requirements (if Paragraph 14.3 is operative)
         contained in Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417.

         Notwithstanding the above provision, if any affected Participant had
         commenced to receive annuity payments upon separation from service, he
         shall continue to receive payments in the form elected.

18.7     MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, OR TRANSFER OF PLAN ASSETS. No merger or
         consolidation of this Plan with, or transfer of assets or liabilities
         to any other plan

                                       63
<PAGE>   72

         shall become effective until at least 30 days after the Company or
         Administrator has filed with the Secretary of the Treasury such
         statement as shall be required by law. In the case of any such merger,
         consolidation or transfer of assets to any other plan, each Participant
         shall receive a benefit immediately after the merger, etc., (as if the
         plan then terminated) which is at least equal to the benefit the
         Participant was entitled to immediately before such merger, etc., (as
         if the Plan had terminated).

19.1     APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATOR. The Company shall appoint an
         Administrator. A written appointment shall be filed in the Company's

         signature of the Administrator, or person acting on behalf of the
         Administrator, his address and telephone number to the Insurance
         Company. The Insurance Company may assume that such person continues to
         hold office until a new certificate is received from the Company. The

         in relying upon any authorization or direction the Insurance Company
         reasonably believes to be authentic.

                  contributions to the Plan;

         (j)      To direct the Insurance Company to distribute benefits of the
                  Plan to each Participant and Beneficiary in accordance with
                  the terms of the Plan;

         (k)      To provide each Participant within the time period set forth
                  in Paragraphs 14.3 and 15.2, if applicable, a written
                  explanation of: the Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity and
                  the Preretirement Survivor Annuity; and

         (l)      To do such other acts reasonably required to administer the
                  Plan in accordance with its provisions or as may be provided
                  for or required by law.

         The Administrator and each other fiduciary shall discharge their duties
         with respect to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan,
         including the Adoption Agreement.

19.3     DELEGATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES. The Administrator may
         appoint other persons to perform any of his administrative functions.
         Such appointment shall be made in writing and shall be effective upon
         the written approval of the Company. The Administrator and any such
         appointee may employ advisors and other persons necessary to help the
         Administrator carry out his functions, including fiduciary functions.
         The Administrator shall monitor the work and review the performance of
         each such appointee, and he shall remove any such appointee from his
         position if the Administrator determines that his performance is
         unsatisfactory. Any person or group of persons may serve in more than
         one

                                       65
<PAGE>   74

         fiduciary capacity. The Administrator may delegate one or more of his
         responsibilities to the Insurance Company by a written administrative
         services agreement entered into with the Insurance Company. The
         Insurance Company's administrative responsibilities shall be limited to
         those services set forth in such agreement.

19.4     BONDING. The Administrator, and any other fiduciary, officer of the
         Company and Employee of the Company who handles funds of the Plan shall
         be bonded as required by ERISA. Such bond shall protect the Plan
         against loss by reason of acts of fraud or dishonesty by such persons
         directly or through the connivance of others. The amount of the bond
         shall not be less than 10 percent of the value of the Contract at the
         beginning of the Year nor more than $500,000. In no event shall the
         bond be less than $1000. If the Secretary of the U.S. Department of
         Labor prescribes an amount in excess of $500,000, however, a bond in
         the prescribed amount shall be obtained.

19.5     FIDUCIARY LIABILITY INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Company may
         purchase fiduciary liability insurance or agree to indemnify and hold
         harmless the Administrator and persons appointed by the Administrator
         or Company to carry out fiduciary functions against any and all claims,
         loss, damage, expense or liability arising from their official
         capacities in the administration of the Plan, unless the same is
         determined to be due to gross negligence or willful misconduct.

19.6     COMPENSATION OF ADMINISTRATOR. The Company shall reimburse the
         Administrator for any reasonable costs and expenses, including
         fiduciary liability insurance, incurred by the Administrator as a
         result of performance of his duties or functions. The Company shall
         compensate the Administrator for services rendered under this Plan,
         except that no Administrator who receives full-time compensation from
         the Company shall be so compensated.

19.7     SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS. The Administrator is the designated agent to
         receive service of legal process on behalf of the Plan, unless the
         Company designates some other party in writing in the summary plan
         description.

19.8     COMPANY CENSUS REPORT. To enable the Administrator to perform his
         functions, the Company shall furnish the Administrator full and timely
         information on or before each Plan Year (and more frequently, if
         required) on all matters relating to classification of Employees, their
         dates of employment, ages, Hours of Service, Compensation, dates of
         retirement, death, disability or Termination of Employment, causes of
         Termination of Employment and such other census data as may be required
         to administer the Plan. The Administrator shall advise the Insurance
         Company in writing of such information about Participants' and
         Beneficiaries' status, including changes in status, pertinent to
         determining benefit entitlements under the Contract or Policies.

19.9     INFORMATION ABOUT PLAN. Any Participant in the Plan, or any Beneficiary
         receiving benefits under the Plan, may examine copies of the Plan, the
         Contract, any Policies on his life, the summary plan description, the
         latest annual report, any

                                       66
<PAGE>   75

         collective bargaining agreement, Contract or any other instrument under
         which this Plan is maintained or operated. The Administrator shall
         maintain all items listed in this Paragraph in his office, or in other
         places as he may designate from time to time to comply with regulations
         issued under ERISA, for examination during normal business hours. Upon
         written request of a Participant or Beneficiary receiving benefits
         under this Plan, the Administrator shall furnish him with a copy of any
         item listed in this Paragraph. The Administrator may impose a charge
         equal to the costs of reproduction, but in no event shall the costs
         exceed 25 cents per page.

19.10    INFORMATION ABOUT PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES. Each Participant and
         each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall file with the
         Administrator from time to time in writing his current post office
         address. Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to a
         Participant or a Beneficiary at his last post office address filed with
         the Administrator or as shown on the Company's records, shall bind the
         Participant or Beneficiary for all purposes of this Plan. Each
         Participant shall file with the Administrator his name, Social Security
         number, date of birth, and marital status. Each married Participant
         shall file, upon request, with the Administrator the name, date of
         birth, and date of marriage to his Spouse. The Administrator may
         require satisfactory evidence of any personal information required to
         administer the Plan. The information provided by the Participant
         concerning his Spouse shall bind the Participant, the Participant's
         Spouse and their heirs for all purposes of the Plan. The Participant
         shall be required to notify the Administrator of any changes in
         information previously filed.

19.11    CLAIM FOR BENEFITS. All applications for benefits under the Plan shall
         be submitted to the Administrator in writing on forms prescribed by the
         Administrator. The application shall be signed by the Participant, and
         the Participant's Spouse if required by the Administrator, or in the
         case of a death benefit by the Beneficiary or legal representative of
         the deceased Participant. Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a
         deceased Participant must furnish the Administrator with such evidence,
         data or other information as the Administrator or Insurance Company
         considers necessary or desirable for purposes of administering the
         Plan. The provisions of this Plan are effective for the benefit of each
         Participant subject to the condition that each Participant or
         Beneficiary shall furnish promptly full, true and complete evidence,
         data or other information when requested by the Administrator, provided
         the Participant or Beneficiary is advised of the affect of his failure
         to comply with the request. The Administrator shall make all
         determinations as to the right of any person to a benefit under the
         Plan. The Administrator shall notify the claimant of the acceptance or
         denial of any claim within 90 days, unless special circumstances are
         deemed by the Administrator to require an additional period of no more
         than 90 days. If an extension is necessary, the Administrator shall
         notify the claimant in writing explaining why more time is needed and
         indicate a date by which the Administrator expects to render a
         decision.

19.12    CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE. The Administrator shall provide to any
         claimant whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been fully or
         partially denied a written notice setting forth the specific reasons
         for such denial. Such notice shall state that the claimant is entitled
         to request a review by the Administrator of the decision

                                       67
<PAGE>   76

         denying the claim, the reasons for denial, the Plan provisions upon
         which the denial is based, a description and reason for needing any
         additional information needed to consider the claim, and an explanation
         of the review procedure. The claimant or his authorized representative
         may within 60 days of the denial of the claim: request a claim review
         by the Administrator, review pertinent documents relating to the
         denial, and submit issues and comments in writing to the Administrator.
         The Administrator must make a final decision on a claim reviewed within
         sixty days. The Administrator shall make a full and fair review of such
         claim and any written materials submitted by the claimant and may
         require the claimant or the Company to submit such additional evidence
         as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to make a claims
         review.

         On the basis of the review, the Administrator shall make an independent
         determination of the claimant's entitlement to benefits under the Plan.
         The decision of the Administrator upon review, if supported by
         substantial evidence in the record, shall be final and conclusive on
         all parties to the Plan. The Administrator shall give the claimant
         written notice of his decision upon review which shall include specific
         reasons and references to the Plan provision upon which his decision is
         based. The 60-day review period may be extended for another 60 days if
         the Administrator finds that special circumstances require an extension
         of time. If after such review the Administrator concludes that the
         denial of benefits was erroneous or contrary to the Plan or to the law,
         the Administrator shall take such action as shall be appropriate to
         provide such benefit.

19.13    MISSING PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIARIES. In the event a person entitled
         to a benefit is unable to be found after a diligent one-year search by
         the Administrator, the benefit payable to that person shall be
         forfeited and applied to reduce the Company's contributions under the
         Plan, provided, however, that the Administrator shall reinstate the
         benefit in the event the person entitled thereto is found or makes a
         claim. The sources for restoration of the benefit shall be forfeitures
         or an additional Company contribution.

                             PART XX - MISCELLANEOUS

20.1     ASSIGNMENT OR ALIENATION. No benefit or interest available hereunder
         shall be subject to assignment or alienation, either voluntarily or
         involuntarily. The preceding sentence shall also apply to the creation,
         assignment, or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with
         respect to a Participant pursuant to a domestic relations order, unless
         such order is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order, as
         defined in Code Section 414(p), or any domestic relations order entered
         before January 1, 1985. Notwithstanding any other provision to the Plan
         and as directed in writing by the Administrator, a distribution shall
         be made immediately to an alternate payee pursuant to such qualified
         domestic relations order.

20.2     RESPONSIBILITY FOR QUALIFICATION OF PLAN. The Company is solely
         responsible for the qualification of the Plan under the Code. Should
         the Plan fail to initially attain qualified plan status, the Plan shall
         terminate and contributions shall

                                       68
<PAGE>   77

         be returned to the Company and to Participants in accordance with
         Subparagraph 4.11(b). If an initially qualified plan fails to retain
         qualified plan status, the Plan shall terminate and the interest of
         each Participant shall be distributed in the same manner as provided
         under Paragraph 18.6.

20.3     ORIGINAL DOCUMENT. The Plan may be executed in any number of
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and said
         counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument and may
         be sufficiently evidenced by any one counterpart.

20.4     STATE LAW. The Plan is to be regulated and construed in accordance with
         the laws of the State in which the Company maintains its principal
         office, except to the extent such laws are preempted by Federal law.

20.5     NOT AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. No Employee of the Company nor anyone else
         shall have any rights against the Company as a result of this Plan,
         except those expressly granted hereunder. Nothing herein shall be
         construed to give any Participant the right to remain in the employ of
         the Company.

20.6     WORD USAGE. Words when used herein are used irrespective of number or
         gender unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

20.7     INTERPRETATION OF PLAN. The intention of the Company is that the Plan
         shall comply with the provisions of the Code, the Employee Retirement
         Income Security Act, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act, and
         the corresponding provisions of any subsequent laws, and the provisions
         of the Plan shall be construed to effectuate such intention.

         In the event any provision or provisions shall be determined to be
         illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegal or invalid provision
         shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan and the Company,
         Administrator, or Trustee may perform such alternative acts which most
         clearly carry out the intent and purpose of the Plan.

20.8     HEADINGS. The headings of the Parts, Paragraphs and Sections of this
         Plan are for convenience and reference only, and any conflict between
         such headings and the text shall be resolved in favor of the text.

                                    PART XXI

Transitional Rule - Retirement Distributions

Subject to Part XIV and XV, distributions on behalf of any Participant,
including a 5-percent owner, may be made in accordance with all of the following
requirements (regardless of when such distribution commences):

(1)      The distribution by the Plan is one which would not have disqualified
         such Plan under Code Section 401(a)(9) as in effect prior to amendment
         by DEFRA.

(2)      The distribution is in accordance with a method of distribution
         designated by the Participant whose interest in the Plan is being
         distributed or, if the Participant is deceased, by a Beneficiary of
         such Participant.

(3)      Such designation was in writing, was signed by the Participant or the
         Beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1984.

(4)      The Participant had accrued a benefit under the Plan as of December 31,
         1983.

(5)      The method of distribution designated by the Participant or the
         Beneficiary specifies the time at which distribution shall commence,
         the period over which distributions shall be made, and in the case of
         any distribution upon the Participant's death, the Beneficiaries of the
         Participant listed in order of priority.

A distribution upon death shall not be covered by this transitional rule unless
the information in the designation contains the required information described
above with respect to the distributions to be made upon the death of the
Participant.

For any distribution which commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after
December 31, 1983, the Participant, or the Beneficiary, to whom such
distribution is being made, shall be presumed to have designated the method of
distribution under which the distribution is being made if the method of
distribution was specified in writing and the distribution satisfies the
requirement in Subparagraph (5) above.

If a designation is revoked any subsequent distribution must satisfy the
requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations thereunder. If a
designation is evoked subsequent to the date distributions are required to
begin, the Plan must distribute by the end of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the revocation occurs the total amount not yet
distributed which would have been required to have been distributed to satisfy
Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations thereunder, but for the Section
242(b)(2) election. For calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988, such
distributions must meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements
in Section 1.401(a)-2 of the Income Tax Regulations. Any changes in the

                                       70
<PAGE>   79

designation shall be considered to be a revocation of the designation. However,
the mere substitution or addition of another Beneficiary (one not named in the
designation) under the designation shall not be considered to be a revocation of
the designation, so long as such substitution or addition does not alter the
period over which distributions are to be made under the designation, directly
or indirectly (for example, by altering the relevant measuring life). In the
case in which an amount is transferred or rolled over from one plan to another
plan, the rules in Q&A J-2 and Q&A J-3 shall apply.

B1.      Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who
         would otherwise not receive the benefits prescribed by Paragraphs 14.3
         and 15.2 of the Plan must be given the opportunity to elect to have
         such Paragraphs apply if the Participant is credited with at least one
         Hour Of Service under this Plan or a predecessor Plan in a Plan Year
         beginning on or after January 1, 1976, and such Participant had at
         least 10 years of vesting service when he separated from Service.

B2.      Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who
         was credited with at least one Hour Of Service under this Plan or a

         otherwise credited with any Service in a Plan Year beginning on or
         after January 1, 1976, must be given the opportunity to have his
         benefits paid in accordance with Paragraph B4.

B3.      The respective opportunities to elect (as described in Paragraphs B1
         and B2 above) must be afforded to the appropriate Participants during
         the period commencing on August 23, 1984, and ending on the date
         benefits would otherwise commence to said Participants.

B4.      Any Participant who has elected pursuant to Paragraph B2 and any
         Participant who does not elect under Paragraph B1 or who meets the
         requirements except that such Participant does not have at least 10
         years of vesting Service when he separates from Service, shall have his
         benefits distributed in accordance with all of the following
         requirements if benefits would have been payable in the form of a life
         annuity:

                  of a life annuity become payable to a married Participant who:

                           (i)      begins to receive payments under the Plan on
                                    or after Normal Retirement Date;

                                    Normal Retirement Date (or the Qualified
                                    Early Retirement Date) and after satisfying
                                    the eligibility requirements for the payment
                                    of benefits under the

                                       72
<PAGE>   81

                                    Plan and thereafter dies before beginning to
                                    receive such benefits; then such benefits
                                    shall be received under this Plan in the
                                    form of an Automatic Joint and Survivor
                                    Annuity, unless the Participant has elected
                                    otherwise during the Election Period. The
                                    Election Period must begin at least 6 months
                                    before the Participant attains Qualified
                                    Early Retirement Date and end not more than
                                    90 days before the commencement of benefits.
                                    Any election hereunder shall be in writing
                                    and may be changed by the Participant at any
                                    time.

         (b)      Election of Early Survivor Annuity. A Participant who is
                  employed after attaining the Qualified Early Retirement Date
                  shall be given the opportunity to elect, during the Election
                  Period, to have a survivor annuity payable on death. If the
                  Participant elects the survivor annuity, payments under such
                  annuity must not be less than the payments which would have
                  been made to the Spouse under the Automatic Joint and Survivor
                  Annuity if the Participant had retired on the day before his
                  death. Any election under this provision shall be in writing
                  and may be changed by the Participant at any time. The
                  election period begins on the later of (1) the 90th day before

(V)      ADOPTION CONTINGENT ON IRS APPROVAL

         The opinion letter issued to MassMutual by the National Office of the
         Internal Revenue Service evidences the acceptability of the form of the
         Prototype Plan under Code Section 401. The adopting Company may not
         rely on an opinion letter issued by the National Office of the Internal
         Revenue Service as evidence that the Plan is qualified under Code
         Section 401. To obtain reliance with respect to plan qualification, the
         Company must apply to the appropriate Key District Office of the
         Internal Revenue Service for a determination letter.

         The adoption of the Plan and contributions thereto are subject to the
         condition that the Internal Revenue Service will determine that
         initially the Plan, as it relates to the undersigned Company, meets the
         requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations issued
         thereunder and, until the Company has received a favorable
         determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, no Participant
         will have any vested interest in any equity created by contributions
         made by the Company. As soon as reasonably possible, after the
         execution of this Adoption Agreement, the Administrator will submit to
         the Internal Revenue Service the documents required to obtain a
         determination as to the qualified status of this Plan as it relates to
         the Company. Up on receipt of a determination letter, the Administrator
         will submit evidence thereof to the Insurance Company.

         Upon receipt of evidence that the Plan is not so qualified or if
         evidence is not received within one year after adoption of the Plan, or
         such longer period as may be agreed to by the Insurance Company, the
         Contract will be canceled and the Insurance Company will pay to the
         Company an amount equal to the value of the total of all the
         Participant's Accounts as determined by the Insurance Company in
         accordance with the terms of the Contract and Policies.

         This Adoption Agreement may be used only in conjunction with basic plan
         document #002, IRS Serial No. D365756a.

         Has the Company terminated another plan, including a cash or deferred
         arrangement within the last 12 months of the Effective Date of the
         Plan, making this Plan the successor plan as defined under Code Section
         401(k) and the Regulations thereunder?

                           For Non-Standardized Plans

         The following additional provisions concerning qualifying Employer
securities are included as an addendum to Part VI of the Adoption Agreement to
the SCI 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") completed by Service
Corporation International (the "Company"). The purpose of this addendum is to
establish written procedures (which are hereby incorporated into and made part
of the Plan) to permit Participants to direct the investment of their accounts
in qualifying employer securities (described below) and to allow the Company
(and any adopting Employer) to make Employer contributions in qualifying
employer securities, subject to the terms and provisions set forth below. All
capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Plan.

6.4      ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SCI COMMON STOCK FUND.

         (a) Establishment of Company Stock Fund. The investment options
available to Participants under the Plan shall include the ability to invest in
"qualifying employer securities," as defined in section 401(d)(5) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Accordingly, in
addition to any other investment options available under the Plan, Participants
may direct that amounts allocated to their respective Accounts be invested in a
unitized fund that holds cash and shares of the common stock, $1.00 par value,
of the Employer (the "Company Stock Fund"). In addition, the Employer may make
any Company Qualified Nonelective Contributions, Company Matching Contributions
or Company Profit Sharing Contributions in qualifying employer securities
("Company Stock") which shall be held in the Company Stock Fund and allocated to
Participants' Accounts according to the relevant allocation provisions of the
Plan applicable to such contributions.

         (b) Management by Applicable Fiduciary. An ancillary trustee or
Investment Manager (appointed in accordance with applicable provisions of the
Plan) who shall qualify as an agent independent of the issuer (as such term is
defined in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Act")) shall establish and maintain the Company Stock Fund in accordance
with the terms of the Plan and this Addendum. The above-described ancillary
trustee or Investment Manager shall hereinafter be referred to as the
"Applicable Fiduciary". In the event that the Applicable Fiduciary is not
independent of the issuer, any purchase of Company Stock shall be effected in
accordance with provisions of rule 10b-18 of the Act. When the Applicable
Fiduciary (i) receives funds to be invested or determines that assets from those
funds, if applicable, should be sold and the proceeds held for a period of time
pending reinvestment or other purpose, or (ii) has notice that required or
appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission have not been
timely accepted as filed and funds received have been designated to be invested
in shares of Company Stock, then prior to completion of required or appropriate
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such funds may be held in
cash, or invested in short-term investments such as U.S. Treasury bills,
commercial paper, demand notes, money market funds, any savings accounts, money
market accounts,

<PAGE>   110

certificates of deposit or like investments with the commercial department of
any bank (including any bank serving as the Applicable Fiduciary, as long as
they bear a reasonable rate of interest and the bank is supervised by the United
States or a state) any common, pooled or collective trust funds which any bank,
including any bank serving as the Applicable Fiduciary, or any other corporation
may now have or in the future may adopt for such short-term investments (the
governing document of such common, pooled or collective trust fund(s) being
hereby incorporated herein by reference), and other similar assets which may be
offered by the federal government, or any national or state bank (whether or not
serving as the Applicable Fiduciary hereunder), and as may be determined by the
Applicable Fiduciary, in its discretion, which assets will remain a part of the
fund to which they would otherwise relate.

         (c) Participants' Investment Elections. As soon as practical after the
establishment of the Company Stock Fund is completed, including the completion
of all applicable governmental filings, the Administrator will notify
Participants of the availability of such investment fund and will provide them
with information on the procedures established by the Administrator for the
direction of investment of contributions into such fund. The investment
directions of Participants shall be made in accordance with the procedures and
limitations described in procedures maintained under and in connection with the
Plan as generally applicable to Participants' investment directions except to
the extent that the Administrator has prescribed different procedures and/or
limitations that apply with respect to such Company Stock Fund; or except as
otherwise provided herein.

         (d) Transfers Among Investment Funds. A Participant's transfer into or
out of the Company Stock Fund of amounts previously invested in any other
investment funds available under the Plan will be governed by the procedures and
limitations described in procedures maintained under and in connection with the
Plan as generally applicable to Participants' investment transfer directions
except to the extent that the Administrator has prescribed different procedures
and/or limitations that apply with respect to such Company Stock Fund or except
as otherwise provided herein. Transfers out of the Company Stock Fund of Company
Qualified Nonelective Contributions, Company Matching Contributions or Company
Profit Sharing Contributions shall also be governed by such procedures and
limitations which may differ from the procedures and limitations applicable to
transfers of Participant's Elective Salary Deferrals, but shall be applied in a
non-discriminatory manner to all Participants.

         (e) Participants' Directions. All elections and investment directions
by Participants concerning the investment of their Accounts shall be in such
form as is prescribed by the Administrator. Each Participant shall designate the
percentage of his various Accounts, or any combination of such Accounts (as such
Accounts presently exist and the percentage of future contributions, if any, to
be allocated to such Accounts) to be invested in the Company Stock Fund and any
one or more funds, as such funds may be established from time to time under the
Plan. At such times as shall be prescribed by the Administrator in its
discretion, the percentage elected to be placed in any one fund may be changed
by the Participant, which change will be effective after such period of times as
shall be established by the Administrator. The Administrator shall determine
whether any such change as to investments will change the Participant's Account
as it presently exists or whether it will only be effective as to succeeding
investments of contributions; however, any such change, when made, shall
continue to be

                                        2

<PAGE>   111

effective until revoked or changed in a like manner. The rules established and
the discretion exercised by the Administrator hereunder shall apply to all
Participants on a nondiscriminatory basis. As soon as administratively feasible
after receipt of investment directions of a Participant, the Administrator shall
direct the Applicable Fiduciary to implement all such proper directions received
from a Participant. Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased
Participant is hereby designated as a "named fiduciary" (within the meaning of
Sections 402(a)(2) and 403(a)(1) of ERISA with respect to his investment
directions made pursuant to this Subsection.

         (f) Beneficiaries of Deceased Participant. All provisions of this
Subsection pertaining to a Participant shall be equally applicable to a
Beneficiary of a deceased Participant whose Account remains in the Plan.

         (g) Form and Method of Payment of Funds Invested in the Company Stock
Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan and Trust to the
contrary, with respect to any amounts invested in Company Stock, distribution
shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the value (as of the date or dates
shares of Company Stock credited to the Participant's Account are converted into
cash) of the Participant's vested interest in shares of Stock credited to such
Participant's Account, or in whole shares of Company Stock, or in any
combination thereof as elected by the Participant. Any fractional shares of
Company Stock to which the Participant may be entitled shall be valued and paid
in cash.

         (h) Purchases and Sales of Common Stock. Purchases and sales of Company
Stock shall be handled in accordance with the following rules and such
additional procedures, consistent with such rules, that the Administrator may
establish from time to time:

                  (1) The Plan will acquire shares of Company Stock from the
         Company through original issuance of shares, purchase of shares from
         the Service Corporation International treasury or through national
         securities exchange, or pursuant to other arrangements mutually agreed
         upon by the Company and the Applicable Fiduciary. In making purchases
         of Company Stock, the Applicable Fiduciary shall exercise its
         discretion with respect to the timing of such purchases and the
         determination of the prices assigned to shares of Company Stock as the
         Trustee deems appropriate.

                  (2) With respect to any transaction that involves a party in
         interest (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA), purchases and sales of
         shares of Company Stock for which there is a generally recognized
         market shall be made by the Applicable Fiduciary either (i) at the
         price of such shares prevailing on a national securities exchange which
         is registered under section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
         ("National Securities Exchange") or, (ii) if such shares are not traded
         on any National Securities Exchange, at a price equal to the mean of
         the current bid and asked prices of such shares on any generally
         recognized market on the same day of such purchase or sale as quoted by
         persons independent of the issuer and of any parties in interest (as
         defined in this Subsection), or on the last trading day during which
         there were sales of such shares if there are no sales on the same day
         of such purchase or sale. In the event that purchases and sales involve
         a party in interest (as defined in this Subsection) and are made with
         respect to shares of Company Stock for which there is no generally
         recognized market,

                                       3
<PAGE>   112

         the price shall be in the case of a purchase no more than, and in the
         case of a sale no less than, the fair market value of such shares as
         determined in good faith by the Applicable Fiduciary pursuant to the
         terms of the Plan and in accordance with applicable provisions of ERISA
         or other applicable federal law and regulatory guidance issued
         thereunder. The Applicable Fiduciary may, in its discretion, defer the
         purchase of Company Stock or limit the daily volume of its purchase of
         such stock to the extent that such action is deemed by it to be in the
         best interests of Participants or as is required by applicable law or
         regulatory authority.

                  (3) The Applicable Fiduciary may, in its discretion, make
         separate trades or match the purchase and sale orders scheduled for a
         transaction and transact the net purchase or sale, whichever the case
         may be. The price per share allocated to each purchase or sale order
         shall be the price transacted for the "net" shares on the transaction
         date selected by the Applicable Fiduciary. The price transacted for a
         "net" transaction shall be the price paid or obtained in the case of a
         single transaction, and the weighted average of the prices paid or
         obtained, as applicable, in the case of multiple transactions.

                  (4) Any brokerage commissions, transfer fees and other
         expenses actually incurred in any such sale or purchase shall be
         equitably allocated and added to the cost or subtracted from the
         proceeds of all purchases or sales, as the case may be, effected on a
         transaction day, whether pursuant to the netting process described
         above, or pursuant to actual separate transactions in accordance with a
         Participant's direction. No commissions or other fees shall be payable
         with respect to any transaction that is not on the open market and
         involves the Plan and a party in interest.

                  (5) Allocations to Participants' Accounts will be made in full
         and fractional shares.

                  (6) A Participant may direct the Administrator (or its
         delegate) to use any available cash or funds held for him under the
         Plan and Trust to exercise any options, rights or warrants issued with
         respect to Company Stock in his Account. In the absence of such
         direction, or if there are no available funds, any such option, right
         or warrant having a market value shall be sold for the Participant's
         Account.

         (i) Dividends. All dividends or other distributions attributable to
shares of Company Stock held in the Company Stock Fund shall be allocated to the
Participant whose Account is credited with such shares.

         (j) Distribution of Accrued Benefits. To the extent invested in
Company Stock, a Participant's Account which is payable under the Plan may be
distributed in Company Stock or in cash or partly in Company Stock and partly in
cash. To reduce such Company Stock to cash, the Trustee may sell such Company
Stock to the Employer on the open market on a recognized exchange with which the
Company Stock is registered. The proceeds of such sales of Company Stock shall
be included in such Participant's Account. In making sales of Company Stock for
distribution the Trustee shall exercise its discretion with respect to the
timing of such sales. If Stock is sold to the Employer, the sales price shall be
determined in the manner set forth above

                                       4
<PAGE>   113

for determining the price of Company Stock sold to the Employer. No commissions
or other fees shall be payable with respect to any transaction with the
Employer.

         (k) A Participant (other than an Insider subject to the provisions of
6.6 below) may liquidate any or all of the balance in his Company Stock Fund and
transfer the proceeds to any other investment funds available in the Plan and a
Participant may transfer the proceeds of other investment funds into the Company
Stock Fund with the same frequency and according to the same procedure that such
Participant invests in any other investment fund offered by the Plan.

6.5      VOTING AND TENDER OF COMPANY STOCK.

         The Applicable Fiduciary's voting, tender, and exercise of rights other
than voting rights with respect to Company Stock shall be governed by the
following provisions:

         (a) Each Participant (or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant) is
hereby designated as a "named fiduciary" (within the meaning of Sections
402(a)(2) and 403(a)(1) of ERISA) with respect to (i) the shares of Company
Stock allocated to his Account, and (ii) a pro rata portion of the shares of
Company Stock allocated to the Accounts of Participants who do not direct the
Applicable Fiduciary as to how such shares should be voted, and shall have the
right to direct the Applicable Fiduciary with respect to the vote of the shares
of Company Stock allocated to his Account, on each matter brought before any
meeting of the stockholders of the Employer. Upon timely receipt of such
directions, the Applicable Fiduciary shall vote as directed the number of shares
(including fractional shares (which shall be aggregated into whole shares of the
Company's Common Stock and voted only to the extent of the last whole share)) of
Company Stock allocated to such Participant's Account. The Applicable Fiduciary
shall have no discretion in such matter. The instructions received by the
Applicable Fiduciary from Participants (or Beneficiaries) shall be held by the
Applicable Fiduciary in confidence and shall not be divulged to any person
including the Plan Administrator or any officer or employee of the Employer. The
Applicable Fiduciary shall vote allocated shares of Company Stock for which it
has not received direction in the same proportion as directed shares are voted
and the Applicable Fiduciary shall have no discretion in such matter. In
determining such proportion, the Applicable Fiduciary shall under all
circumstances include in its calculation the votes of Participants (or
Beneficiaries) on all shares allocated to Participants' Accounts, giving effect
to all affirmative directions by Participants (or Beneficiaries), including
directions to vote for or against, to abstain or to withhold the vote, but shall
exclude from its calculation all allocated shares of such stock for which no
direction has been received.

         (b) Each Participant (or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant) is
hereby designated as a "named fiduciary" (within the meaning of Sections
402(a)(2) and 403(a)(1) of ERISA) with respect to the (i) shares of Company
Stock allocated to his Account and shall have the right, to the extent of the
number of whole shares of Company Stock allocated to his Account, to direct the
Applicable Fiduciary in writing as to the manner in which to exercise rights
(other than voting rights with respect to such shares) with respect to any
decisions or elections involving warrants, conversion rights, "poison pill"
rights, elections with respect to rights offerings or any other rights similar
to the foregoing. Upon timely receipt of such directions, the Applicable

                                       5
<PAGE>   114

Fiduciary shall respond as instructed with respect to such shares of Company
Stock. The instructions received by the Applicable Fiduciary from Participants
(or Beneficiaries) shall be held by the Applicable Fiduciary in confidence and
shall not be divulged to any person, including the Plan Administrator or any
officer or employee of the Employer. If the Applicable Fiduciary shall not
receive timely instruction from a Participant (or Beneficiary) as to the manner
in which to exercise a right other than a voting right, the Applicable Fiduciary
shall not exercise any such right with respect to an allocated share of Company
Stock with respect to which such Participant (or Beneficiary) has the right to
direction, and the Applicable Fiduciary shall have no discretion in such matter.

         (c) Subject to the specific requirements applicable to Tender Offers as
set forth below, the Applicable Fiduciary shall notify the Participants (or
Beneficiaries of deceased Participants) of each occasion for the exercise of
voting rights and rights other than voting rights within a reasonable time
before such rights are to be exercised. This notification shall include all the
information (including any proxy solicitation materials) that the Employer
distributes to shareholders regarding the exercise of such rights, as well as a
form requesting confidential directions to the Applicable Fiduciary on how such
shares of Company Stock allocated to such Participant's Account shall be voted
on each such matter. The proxy solicitation materials described in the preceding
sentence shall be the same as those for shareholders of Company Stock generally,
and shall comply with applicable state and federal law and the Employer's
charter and bylaws as generally applicable to shareholders of such stock. The
Applicable Fiduciary shall not make recommendations to Participants (or
Beneficiaries) on whether to vote or how to vote. The instructions received by
the Applicable Fiduciary from Participants (or Beneficiaries) shall be held by
the Applicable Fiduciary in confidence and shall not be divulged to any person,
including the Plan Administrator, or any officer or employee of the Employer;
provided, however, that the Applicable Fiduciary shall advise any officer of the
Employer at any time upon request, of the total number of shares of such Company
Stock that it has been instructed to vote in favor of each matter for which a
vote was solicited, the total number of shares of such stock that it has been
instructed not to vote in favor of each such matter and the total number of
shares in respect of which it has received no instructions.

         (d) In the event of a Tender Offer, as defined herein, the
Administrator shall direct the Applicable Fiduciary to take those steps
reasonably necessary to furnish information to, and request instructions from,
each Participant (or Beneficiary) who has shares of Company Stock allocated to
his Account in substantially the same manner as with respect to the shareholders
of such stock generally. In that regard, the Applicable Fiduciary shall:

                  (1) Inform each Participant (or Beneficiary) as to the
         existence of the Tender Offer; provided, however, the Applicable
         Fiduciary shall not make any recommendations with respect to such
         Tender Offer;

                  (2) Transmit to each Participant (or Beneficiary) such written
         information and other materials relative to the Tender Offer as are
         made available by the persons or entities making such Tender Offer to
         the shareholders of such stock generally;

                                       6
<PAGE>   115

                  (3) Request written instructions from each Participant (or
         Beneficiary) as to whether or not to tender or exchange the shares of
         such stock allocated to his Account; and

                  (4) Use reasonably diligent efforts to effect, on a
         nondiscriminatory basis, the tender or exchange of allocated shares of
         such stock in accordance with the written instructions received from
         the Participants and Beneficiaries.

         The number of shares to which a Participant's (or Beneficiary's)
         instructions apply will be the total number of shares allocated to his
         Account, regardless of whether the shares are vested, as of the close
         of business on the day preceding the date on which the Tender Offer
         commences. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender
         Offer, the Applicable Fiduciary will tender or exchange those shares of
         stock that it has been properly instructed to tender or exchange, and
         it will not tender or exchange those shares that it has not been
         properly instructed to tender or exchange. Instructions to the
         Applicable Fiduciary from a Participant (or Beneficiary) to tender or
         exchange shares will not be deemed to be a withdrawal or suspension
         from the Plan or a forfeiture of any portion of such person's interest
         in the Plan. Shares of Company Stock that are not tendered or exchanged
         pursuant to valid instructions shall remain invested in such stock.

         For purposes of this Subsection C-3(d), the term "Tender Offer" means
         collectively (a) a cash tender offer, which includes a tender offer
         for, or request or invitation for tenders of, shares of Company Stock
         in exchange for cash as made to the Applicable Fiduciary or to the
         shareholders of such stock generally, and (b) an exchange offer, which
         includes a tender offer for, or request or invitation for tenders of
         any shares of Company Stock in exchange for any consideration other
         than all cash, as made to the Applicable Fiduciary or to the
         shareholders of such stock generally.

6.6      SECTION 16(b) RESTRICTIONS ON INSIDERS:

         In accordance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of the Act
and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or this Addendum to the
contrary, the following rules shall apply, to any officer, director or 10%
shareholder of the Employer (an "Insider").

         (a) New Investment in Company Stock Fund. An Insider shall be allowed
to invest in the Company Stock Fund on the same basis as other Participants with
respect to any Elective Deferrals, or Company contributions allocated to his
Account, whether vested or non-vested and with respect to any loan repayments
and without regard to any transfers of previously invested contributions into or
out of the Company Stock Fund.

         (b) Transfer from Other Investments Into the Company Stock Fund. An
Insider shall be allowed to sell any other investment option offered by the Plan
and elect to transfer the proceeds of such sale in his Accounts to the Company
Stock Fund provided that such election is made at least six months following the
date of the most recent election to transfer amounts out of

                                       7
<PAGE>   116

the Company Stock Fund or take a cash distribution or loan from any plan of the
Employer which holds Company Stock.

         (c) Transfer Out of the Company Stock Fund to Another Investment. An
Insider shall be allowed to sell an investment in the Company Stock Fund and
transfer the proceeds of such sale to an investment in any other investment
option offered by the Plan provided that such investment in the Company Stock
Fund is effected pursuant to an election made at least six months following the
date of the most recent election by such Insider to transfer money into the
Company Stock Fund from any other investment.

         (d) In-service Withdrawal or Loan From Company Stock Fund. To the
extent that an Insider would otherwise be allowed to take an in-service
withdrawal or loan from the Plan, such in-service cash withdrawal or loan may be
made from the Insider's investment in the Company Stock Fund only if made six
months after the Insider's most recent election to transfer money from another
investment option offered by the Plan to the Company Stock Fund.

         (e) Distributions and QDROs. Notwithstanding the above provisions, an
Insider may take an in-service withdrawal in Company Stock (to the extent that
such withdrawal would otherwise be allowed) and may take a distribution in
either cash or Company Stock upon termination of employment with the Employer or
Disability. Any distribution pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
will not be subject to any restrictions on sale or distribution of Company
Stock.
