                           POLICY OWNERSHIP/INTERESTS

      2.1 Company Ownership. The Company is the sole owner of the Policy and
shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership. The Company shall
be the beneficiary of the remaining death proceeds of the Policy after the
interest of the Executive or the Executive's transferee has been paid according
to Section 2.2 below.

      2.2 Executive's Interest. The Executive shall have the right to designate
the beneficiary of $250,000 of death proceeds from the Policy, provided such
amount does not exceed the Net Death Proceeds. The Executive shall also have the
right to elect and change settlement options for the Executive's Interest that
may be permitted. However, the Executive, the Executive's transferee or the
Executive's beneficiary shall have no rights or interests in the Policy with
respect to that portion of the death proceeds designated in this Section 2.2
upon the Executive's Termination of Employment prior to Normal Retirement Age.

<PAGE>

      2.3 Option to Purchase. The Company shall not sell, surrender or transfer
ownership of the Policy while this Agreement is in effect without first giving
the Executive or the Executive's transferee the option to purchase the Policy by
one of the methods specified below for a period of sixty (60) days from written
notice of such intention. This provision shall not impair the right of the
Company to terminate this Agreement.

            2.3.1 Full Policy Purchase. If the Company elects to terminate the
      Plan the Executive or his/her transferee shall have the right to purchase
      the Policy from the Company. The purchase price shall be an amount equal
      to the cash surrender value of the Policy. Upon receipt of such purchase
      price, the Company shall assign ownership of the Policy to the Executive
      or his/her transferee and relinquish all existing rights to the Policy.

            2.3.2 Net Death Proceeds Purchase. If the Company elects to
      terminate the Plan the Executive or his/her transferee shall have the
      right to purchase the Executive's Interest in the Policy as identified in
      Section 2.2 above. The Company shall withdraw the Policy's cash surrender
      value and assign ownership of the Policy to the Executive or his/her
      transferee. The Executive or his/her transferee shall thereafter assume
      responsibility for any fees and/or cost of insurance charges (the "Policy
      Expenses") as necessary to sustain the Policy. If the Executive or his/her
      transferee incurs Policy Expenses, the Company shall annually reimburse
      the Executive or his/her transferee an amount equal to the annual Policy
      Expenses divided by one minus the Executive's combined marginal income tax
      rate for the calendar year immediately preceding such payment. The
      Company's reimbursement payment shall be made within 30 days following
      receipt by the Company of evidence of the payment of the Policy Expenses.
      The Company's obligation to make reimbursement payments will automatically
      terminate upon the Executive's Termination of Employment prior to Normal
      Retirement Age. If the Executive's Termination of Employment occurs at or
      after Normal Retirement Age, reimbursement payments shall continue until
      the Executive's death.

      2.4 Comparable Coverage. Nothing herein negates the Company's right to
amend or terminate this Plan under Article 7. The Company is not obligated to
provide any additional resources to maintain the Policy in full force and
effect. In addition, the Company may replace each Policy with a comparable
insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this Plan and the Company
and the Executive shall execute a new Split-Dollar Policy Endorsement for each
new Policy. The cash surrender value and any additional death proceeds exclusive
of those designated in Section 2.2 above for each new Policy or any comparable
policy shall be subject to the claims of the Company's creditors. In the event
that the Company decides to maintain the Policy after the Executive's
Termination of Participation in the Plan, the Company shall be the direct
beneficiary of the entire death proceeds of the Policy.

      2.5 Change of Control. Upon Termination of Employment after a Change of
Control, the Company shall maintain the Policy in full force and effect and in
no event shall the Company amend, terminate or otherwise abrogate the
Executive's interest in the Policy. However, the Company may replace the Policy
with a comparable insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this
Agreement. The cash surrender value and any additional death proceeds exclusive
of those designated in Section 2.2 above for the Policy or any comparable policy
shall be subject to the

<PAGE>

 claims of the Company's creditors.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                    PREMIUMS

      3.1 Premium Payment. The Company shall pay any premiums due on the Policy,
except as provided in Section 2.3.2..

      3.2 Imputed Income. The Company shall impute income to the Executive in an
amount equal to the current term rate for the Executive's age multiplied by the
aggregate death benefit payable to the Executive's beneficiary. The "current
term rate" is the minimum amount required to be imputed under IRS Notice 2002-8,
or any subsequent applicable authority.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                                   ASSIGNMENT

      The Executive may assign without consideration all of the Executive's
interests in the Policy and in this Agreement to any person, entity or trust. In
the event the Executive transfers all of the Executive's interest in the Policy,
then all of the Executive's interest in the Policy and in the Agreement shall be
vested in the Executive's transferee, who shall be substituted as a party
hereunder and the Executive shall have no further interest in the Policy or in
this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                     INSURER

      The Insurer shall be bound only by the terms of the Policy. Any payments
the Insurer makes or actions it takes in accordance with the Policy shall fully
discharge it from all claims, suits and demands of all entities or persons. The
Insurer shall not be bound by or be deemed to have notice of the provisions of
this Agreement.

      period, that an additional period is required. The notice of extension
      must set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the Company
      expects to render its decision.

      access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information

                           POLICY OWNERSHIP/INTERESTS

      2.1 Company Ownership. The Company is the sole owner of the Policy and
shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership. The Company shall
be the beneficiary of the remaining death proceeds of the Policy after the
interest of the Executive or the Executive's transferee has been paid according
to Section 2.2 below.

      2.2 Executive's Interest. The Executive shall have the right to designate
the beneficiary of $250,000 of death proceeds from the Policy, provided such
amount does not exceed the Net Death Proceeds. The Executive shall also have the
right to elect and change settlement options for the Executive's Interest that
may be permitted. However, the Executive, the Executive's transferee or the
Executive's beneficiary shall have no rights or interests in the Policy with
respect to that portion of the death proceeds designated in this Section 2.2
upon the Executive's Termination of Employment prior to Normal Retirement Age.

<PAGE>

      2.3 Option to Purchase. The Company shall not sell, surrender or transfer
ownership of the Policy while this Agreement is in effect without first giving
the Executive or the Executive's transferee the option to purchase the Policy by
one of the methods specified below for a period of sixty (60) days from written
notice of such intention. This provision shall not impair the right of the
Company to terminate this Agreement.

            2.3.1 Full Policy Purchase. If the Company elects to terminate the
      Plan the Executive or his/her transferee shall have the right to purchase
      the Policy from the Company. The purchase price shall be an amount equal
      to the cash surrender value of the Policy. Upon receipt of such purchase
      price, the Company shall assign ownership of the Policy to the Executive
      or his/her transferee and relinquish all existing rights to the Policy.

            2.3.2 Net Death Proceeds Purchase. If the Company elects to
      terminate the Plan the Executive or his/her transferee shall have the
      right to purchase the Executive's Interest in the Policy as identified in
      Section 2.2 above. The Company shall withdraw the Policy's cash surrender
      value and assign ownership of the Policy to the Executive or his/her
      transferee. The Executive or his/her transferee shall thereafter assume
      responsibility for any fees and/or cost of insurance charges (the "Policy
      Expenses") as necessary to sustain the Policy. If the Executive or his/her
      transferee incurs Policy Expenses, the Company shall annually reimburse
      the Executive or his/her transferee an amount equal to the annual Policy
      Expenses divided by one minus the Executive's combined marginal income tax
      rate for the calendar year immediately preceding such payment. The
      Company's reimbursement payment shall be made within 30 days following
      receipt by the Company of evidence of the payment of the Policy Expenses.
      The Company's obligation to make reimbursement payments will automatically
      terminate upon the Executive's Termination of Employment prior to Normal
      Retirement Age. If the Executive's Termination of Employment occurs at or
      after Normal Retirement Age, reimbursement payments shall continue until
      the Executive's death.

      2.4 Comparable Coverage. Nothing herein negates the Company's right to
amend or terminate this Plan under Article 7. The Company is not obligated to
provide any additional resources to maintain the Policy in full force and
effect. In addition, the Company may replace each Policy with a comparable
insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this Plan and the Company
and the Executive shall execute a new Split-Dollar Policy Endorsement for each
new Policy. The cash surrender value and any additional death proceeds exclusive
of those designated in Section 2.2 above for each new Policy or any comparable
policy shall be subject to the claims of the Company's creditors. In the event
that the Company decides to maintain the Policy after the Executive's
Termination of Participation in the Plan, the Company shall be the direct
beneficiary of the entire death proceeds of the Policy.

      2.5 Change of Control. Upon Termination of Employment after a Change of
Control, the Company shall maintain the Policy in full force and effect and in
no event shall the Company amend, terminate or otherwise abrogate the
Executive's interest in the Policy. However, the Company may replace the Policy
with a comparable insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this
Agreement. The cash surrender value and any additional death proceeds exclusive
of those designated in Section 2.2 above for the Policy or any comparable policy
shall be subject to the

<PAGE>

claims of the Company's creditors.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                    PREMIUMS

      3.1 Premium Payment. The Company shall pay any premiums due on the Policy,
except as provided in Section 2.3.2..

      3.2 Imputed Income. The Company shall impute income to the Executive in an
amount equal to the current term rate for the Executive's age multiplied by the
aggregate death benefit payable to the Executive's beneficiary. The "current
term rate" is the minimum amount required to be imputed under IRS Notice 2002-8,
or any subsequent applicable authority.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                                   ASSIGNMENT

      The Executive may assign without consideration all of the Executive's
interests in the Policy and in this Agreement to any person, entity or trust. In
the event the Executive transfers all of the Executive's interest in the Policy,
then all of the Executive's interest in the Policy and in the Agreement shall be
vested in the Executive's transferee, who shall be substituted as a party
hereunder and the Executive shall have no further interest in the Policy or in
this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                     INSURER

      The Insurer shall be bound only by the terms of the Policy. Any payments
the Insurer makes or actions it takes in accordance with the Policy shall fully
discharge it from all claims, suits and demands of all entities or persons. The
Insurer shall not be bound by or be deemed to have notice of the provisions of
this Agreement.

      must file with the Company a written request for review.

            6.2.2 Additional Submissions - Information Access. The claimant
      shall then have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents,
      records and other information relating to the claim. The Company shall
      also provide the claimant, upon request and free of charge, reasonable
      access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information
      relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the claimant's
      claim for benefits.

            6.2.3 Considerations on Review. In considering the review, the
      Company shall take into account all materials and information the claimant
      submits relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information
      was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

            6.2.4 Timing of Company Response. The Company shall respond in
      writing to such claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for
      review. If the Company determines that special circumstances require
