                              KEY TECHNOLOGY, INC.
                      RESTATED EMPLOYEES' STOCK OPTION PLAN
                  (1996 Plan as amended through July 12, 2000)

     1.   Purpose.

          This plan (the "Plan") is designed to encourage key employees of Key
Technology, Inc. (the "Company") and any subsidiary corporations to acquire or
increase a proprietary interest in the Company, and thus to share in the future
success of the Company's business. Subsidiary corporation means any corporation
in which 50% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock are owned by the
Company. The Plan is intended to attract and retain outstanding personnel who
are in a position to make important and direct contributions to the success of
the Company and to promote a closer identity of interests between the Company's
key employees and its shareholders.

     2.   Scope and Duration of the Plan.

          There will be reserved for sale to eligible employees upon the
exercise of options granted under the Plan 1,250,000 shares of the Company's
authorized Common Stock. If an option expires or terminates for any reason
without having been fully exercised, the unpurchased shares will be available
for other options awarded under the Plan. Unless the Plan is terminated earlier
pursuant to Section 20, it shall terminate on December 31, 2004, and no option
shall be granted under the Plan after that date.

     3.   Incentive Stock Options.

          The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") may grant either
Incentive Stock Options, as defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or Nonstatutory Stock Options. The Board has
the sole discretion in deciding which options, if any, shall constitute
Incentive Stock Options. For options granted under this Plan, the Board shall
clearly identify each such option as an Incentive Stock Option or Nonstatutory
Stock Option. Any option not clearly identified as an Incentive Stock Option
shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Stock Option. For purposes of the Plan (i) the
term "Nonstatutory Stock Option" means an option other than an Incentive Stock
Option and (ii) the term "employer corporation" means the corporation of which
an individual granted an Incentive Stock Option is an employee.

     4.   Administration.

          The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, comprised solely of "Non-Employee Directors" as defined in Rule
16b-3(b)(3)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Committee").

          The Committee has the responsibility to construe and interpret the
Plan and to establish and amend such rules and regulations as it deems necessary
or desirable for the proper

<PAGE>

administration of the Plan. Any decision or action taken or to be taken by the
Committee, arising out of or in connection with the construction, interpretation
and administration of the Plan, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be within
its absolute discretion, but subject to the express provisions of the Plan.
Decisions of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon all recipients
of options and any person claiming under or through any recipient of an option.

          The Committee has the authority, subject to the terms of the Plan, to
determine which persons are eligible for options and those to whom options shall
be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option, the time or times
at which options shall be granted, the fair market value of shares under option
from time to time, and the terms and provisions of the instruments evidencing
options, including any conditions to exercise or any restrictions which may be
imposed applicable to the transfer of the shares to be acquired upon exercise of
options.

     5.   Eligible Employees.

          Options may be granted to regular key employees and to directors of
the Company and any present or future subsidiary corporations. In determining
the employees to whom options shall be granted, and the number of shares to be
issued on the exercise of an option, the Committee shall take into account the
duties of the employees, their present and potential contributions to the
success of the Company, and such other factors as the Committee deems relevant
to accomplish the purposes of the Plan.

          An Incentive Stock Option cannot be granted to an employee who, at the
time such option is granted, owns directly or beneficially more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the employer corporation
or its parent or any subsidiary. This limitation shall not apply if, at the time
such Incentive Stock Option is granted, the option price is at least 110% of the
fair market value of the stock subject to the option and such option by its
terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such
option is granted.

     6.   Committee Member Option Grants.

          (a) Automatic Grants. On the date of each annual shareholder meeting,
each director then serving on the Committee shall automatically be granted a
Nonstatutory Stock Option to purchase five thousand (5,000) shares of the
Company's Common Stock.

          (b) Terms of Options. The exercise price for options granted under
this Section 6 shall be the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock at
the close of business on the date of grant. Fair market value shall be the
closing price of the Company's Common Stock on such date as quoted on NASDAQ. If
a price is not available on the date of grant, the fair market value shall be
determined on the first succeeding day that a price is available. The options
granted under this Section 6 shall have a ten-year term from the date of grant,
unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, and shall
become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year, beginning on the first
anniversary of the date of grant and continuing on each subsequent anniversary
until fully exercisable, subject to earlier exercise pursuant to Section 16 of
the Plan or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.

                                        2

     7.   Option Price.

          The price of the shares of Common Stock to be issued on exercise of an
option shall be determined by the Board of Directors, and in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, shall be not less than the fair market value of the
shares on the date the option is granted. Fair market value of the shares under
option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of each grant of stock
options under the Plan.

     8.   Term of Options.

          The term of each option shall be determined by the Committee, but
shall not be for more than ten years from the date the option is granted and may
be subject to earlier expiration as provided in Sections 13 and 14. Each
Incentive Stock Option shall recite the date on which the exercise period
expires.

     9.   Limitation on Amount of Incentive Stock Options.

          In no event shall the aggregate fair market value (determined at the
time such options are granted) of the shares with respect to which the
employee's Incentive Stock Options first become exercisable during any calendar
year under the Plan or under any other stock option plan of the employee's
employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations exceed $100,000.

     10.  Exercise of Options.

          Subject to Section 16, an option may be exercised only after an
employee has remained in the continuous employment of the Company or a
subsidiary corporation for one year after the date the option is granted.
Thereafter, an option may be exercised at any time, or from time to time, in
whole or in part, except that if an option by its terms is exercisable in
installments, then the provisions of the option shall control. After becoming
exercisable, if exercisable in installments, then each installment shall remain
exercisable until termination or expiration of the option. The price of the
shares shall be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash or, with the
consent of the Board, in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock of the
Company, valued at fair market value. Fair market value shall be determined by
the Board of Directors. Except as provided in Sections 13 and 14, no option may
be exercised unless the holder is then an employee of the Company or a
subsidiary corporation. An employee shall not have any of the rights of a
shareholder with respect to the shares to be issued on the exercise of an option
until the shares are paid for and the stock certificate is delivered. Upon any
exercise, prior to issuance and as a condition thereof the person exercising the
option may be required to sign any form of subscription agreement then
authorized by the Company's Board for use in connection with shares purchased
under this Plan. Such agreement may impose such restrictions and repurchase
rights as the Board may determine.

                                        3

     11.  Nontransferability of Nonstatutory Stock Options.

          Nonstatutory Stock Options granted under the Plan are not
transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may
be exercised during the employee's life only by the employee or, if
incapacitated, by his guardian or legal representative. This section does not
apply to Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan.

     12.  Nontransferability of Incentive Stock Options.

          Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are not transferable by
the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and are exercisable during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee. Each
Incentive Stock Option shall recite this restriction. This section does not
apply to Nonstatutory Stock Options granted under the Plan.

     13.  Termination of Employment.

          If the employment of an employee to whom an option has been granted
terminates for any reason other than death or physical disability, any option
unexercised at the date of termination of employment shall expire. Whether an
authorized leave of absence, military or governmental service, disability or
temporary absence from employment for any other reason constitutes the
termination of employment for purposes of the Plan shall be conclusively
determined by the Committee.

     14.  Death of an Employee.

          If an employee to whom an option has been granted dies or becomes
physically disabled while employed by the Company or by a subsidiary
corporation, the option may only be exercised (to the extent that the employee
was entitled to do so on the date of his death or disability) by his personal
representative or beneficiary within 90 days after the date of death or physical
disability.

     15.  Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, each instrument
evidencing an option may contain such provisions as the Committee determines to
be appropriate for the adjustment of the number and class of shares covered by
such option, the option or purchase price and the number of shares as to which
options shall be exercisable or which may be purchased at any time, in the event
of changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company by reason of
stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations,
reorganizations or liquidations. In the event of any such change in the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the aggregate number of
shares available under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted.

                                        4

     16.  Events Accelerating Exercise of Options.

          If the shares of Common Stock of the Company are changed into or
exchanged for shares of stock of another corporation or are converted to cash
pursuant to a plan of merger, partial or complete liquidation, or dissolution,
the Board may in its discretion determine to make each option then outstanding
be exercisable with respect to all the shares of Common Stock covered thereby
and without regard to the time the option has been outstanding, beginning with
the date the Board approves or authorizes such change or conversion and ending
two days prior to the effective date of such change or conversion. If, after
February 10, 1989, any of the shares of Common Stock of the Company becomes the
subject of an acquisition requiring reporting under Sections 13(d)(1) or 14(d)
of the Securities Act of 1934, the Board may at its discretion determine to make
each option then outstanding be exercisable with respect to all the shares of
Common Stock covered thereby and without regard to the time the option has been
outstanding, at any time thereafter.

     17.  Time of Granting Options.

          Nothing contained in the Plan or in any resolution adopted or to be
adopted by the Board, the Committee, or shareholders of the Company shall
constitute the granting of an option. The granting of an option pursuant to the
Plan shall take place only when an instrument evidencing the option has been
duly executed on behalf of the Company and delivered to the employee to whom
such option is to be granted.

     18.  Instruments Evidencing Options and Plan Log.

          The Board, in granting options hereunder, may use such instruments and
agreements to evidence such options as it may determine. All options to purchase
shares of the Company which are granted under the Plan must be evidenced by an
agreement signed by the employee to whom the option is awarded, all terms of
which, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, shall be as
determined by the Board in awarding any such option. The Secretary of the
Company shall keep with the Plan an official Plan Log listing the names of all
employees to whom options have been granted, the date of the award, the number
of shares covered by the option, the purchase price, the vesting schedule, if
applicable, and the number of remaining eligible shares covered by the Plan.

     19.  Employment Rights.

          Nothing in the Plan or any instrument evidencing an option shall
confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employment of the Company
or any subsidiary corporation or shall be construed to interfere in any way with
the right of the Company or any subsidiary corporation to terminate his
employment at any time for any reason.

                                        5

     20.  Amendment.

          The Board has the right at any time to amend, modify or discontinue
the Plan, provided that no such amendment, modification or discontinuance
adopted by the Board shall (i) revoke or alter the terms of any valid option
previously granted in accordance with the Plan; (ii) increase the number of
shares to be reserved for issuance under the Plan; (iii) change the price for
shares to be purchased on exercise of an option; (iv) extend the period during
which an option may be granted; (v) materially modify the requirements
concerning the persons who are eligible to receive an option under the Plan; or
(vi) otherwise materially increase the benefits accruing to persons under the
Plan.

          The Plan may also be amended or modified in any respect or
discontinued with the approval of a majority of the shares present and entitled
to vote at a shareholder meeting duly called for such purpose. However, no
amendment, modification or discontinuance of the Plan may, without the consent
of the employee to whom a valid option has previously been granted, affect the
rights of such employee under any outstanding option.

          The Plan, and the grant and exercise of options, shall be subject to
all applicable governmental laws and regulations. Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, the Board may in its discretion make such changes
in the Plan as may be required to conform the Plan to such laws and regulations,
subject to the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 20.

     21.  Effectiveness of the Plan.

          The Plan shall become effective only after it has been approved by the
Board of Directors and subsequently approved, within one year from the date of
adoption by the Board, at a shareholders meeting duly called for such purpose.

The Restated Employees' Stock Option Plan was approved by the Board of Directors
of Key Technology, Inc. on April 11, 2000 and by the shareholders on July 12,
2000, and as stated above reflects all amendments through July 12, 2000.

                         PROFIT SHARING AND 401(k) PLAN

                                2001 RESTATEMENT

Key Technology originally adopted this Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan, restating
The Bank of California N.A. Defined Contribution Master Plan (basic plan
document #01), most recently adopted on May 11, 1992, and restated the Plan
effective as of July 1, 1993.

This restatement of the Plan was adopted for the purpose of consolidating the
previous amendments, making certain clarifying and administrative changes, and
conforming the Plan to recent changes in applicable law and regulations. Except
as otherwise stated below, this restated plan document is effective on or after
January 1, 2001.

The following Plan Sections shall have these effective dates:

        Section 1.6 (Definition of Compensation): January 1, 1998

        Section 1.12 (Definition of Highly Compensated Employee): January 1,
        1997

        Section 2.2.5 (USERRA requirements): This Section is effective with

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 2

<PAGE>

For purposes of the "Top Heavy" rules in Article 11, Compensation shall mean the
compensation stated on an Employee's Form W-2 for the calendar year that ends
within the Plan Year.

In the case of a Participant who is an employee within the meaning of Code
Section 401(c)(1) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, Compensation means
the Participant's Earned Income.

Compensation shall only include that Compensation which is actually paid to the
Participant during the Plan Year.

For purposes of the Section 415(c) limits on contributions and benefits, the
following items shall be included in the definition of Compensation: (1)
elective deferrals to 401(k) plans; (2) elective contributions to Section 457
nonqualified deferred compensation plans; and (3) salary reduction contributions
made to a cafeteria plan under Section 125.

For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, the maximum Compensation
counted for any Participant for a year shall be $200,000 plus any cost-of-living
adjustment authorized by applicable regulations. For Plan Years beginning on or
after January 1, 1994, the annual Compensation of each Participant taken into
account under the Plan shall not exceed the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit.
The OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000, as adjusted by the
Commissioner for increases in the cost of living in accordance with Section
401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code ($160,000 for 1999 and $170,000 for
2000 and 2001). If Compensation for any prior determination period is taken into
account in determining a Participant's benefits accruing in the current Plan
Year, the Compensation for that prior determination period is subject to the
OBRA '93 annual compensation limit in effect for that prior determination
period.

The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any
period, not exceeding 12 months, over which compensation is determined
(determination period) beginning in such calendar year. If a determination
period consists of fewer than 12 months, the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit
will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months
in the determination period, and the denominator of which is 12.

SECTION 1.7       EMPLOYEE.

Employee means any person in the employ of the Employer maintaining the Plan or
of any other Employer required to be aggregated with the Employer under Sections
414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code, including Leased Employees within the
meaning of Section 414(n) or (o) of the Code.

SECTION 1.9       ENTRY DATE.

Entry Date means the first day of each January, April, July, and October, or
such more frequent dates as may be approved in writing by the Plan Administrator
and communicated to eligible employees.

SECTION 1.10      ERISA.

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

SECTION 1.11      HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE.

Highly Compensated Employee means a highly compensated active employee and a
highly compensated former employee.

For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1997, the term Highly
Compensated Employee means any employee who:

        (a)       was a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i)(1) of the
Code) at any time during the year or the preceding year, or

        (b)       for the preceding year -

                  (i)    had compensation from an Employer in excess of $80,000,
                  as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury from time to time
                  as provided in Section 414(q) of the Code ($85,000 for 2000
                  and 2001), and

                  (ii)   if the Employer elects the application of this clause
                  for such preceding year, was in the top-paid group of
                  employees for such preceding year.

A Highly Compensated former employee is based on the rules applicable to
determining Highly Compensated Employee status as in effect for that
determination year, in accordance with temporary Treasury Regulations section
1.414(q)-1T, A-4 and IRS Notice 97-75.

For determining who is a Highly Compensated Employee, including the
determinations of the number and identity of Employees in the top-paid group,
the amendments to Section 414(q) of the Code are treated as having been in
effect for years beginning in 1996.

SECTION 1.12      HOUR OF SERVICE.

payment, by the Employer on account of a period of time during which no duties

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 4

<PAGE>

whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday,
illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or
leave of absence. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence:

                  (i)    An hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly
        paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period during which no
        duties are performed is not required to be credited to the Employee if
        such payment is made or due under a plan maintained solely for the
        purpose of complying with workers' compensation, or unemployment
        compensation or disability insurance laws.

                  (ii)   Hours of Service are not required to be credited for a
        payment which solely reimburses an Employee for medical or medically
        related expenses incurred by the Employee;

        For purposes of this Subsection (b), a payment shall be deemed to be
        made by or due from the Employer regardless of whether such payment is
        made by or due from the Employer directly, or indirectly through, among
        others, a trust fund, or insurer, to which the Employer contributes or
        pays premiums and regardless of whether contributions made or due to the
        trust fund, insurer or other entity are for the benefit of particular
        Employees or are on behalf of a group of Employees in the aggregate;

        (c)       Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of
damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer. The same Hours of
Service shall not be credited both under Subsection (a) or Subsection (b), as
the case may be, and under this Subsection (c);

        (d)       The determination of Hours of Service for reasons other than
the performance of duties and the crediting of Hours of Service to computation
periods shall be in accordance with DOL Regs. Sections 2530.200b-2(b) and (c),
which are hereby incorporated by reference, and the veterans' reemployment
rights laws;

        (e)       In the case of Employees for whom the Employer does not
maintain records of the hours worked, 190 Hours of Service shall be credited for
each month in which the Employee has at least one Hour of Service;

        (f)       In the case of any Participant who is absent from work:

                  (i)    by reason of the pregnancy of the Participant;

                  (ii)   by reason of birth of the child of the Participant;

                  (iii)  by reason of the placement of a child with the
        Participant in connection with the adoption of such child by such
        Participant; or

                  (iv)   for purposes of caring for such child for a period
        beginning immediately following such birth or placement;

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 5

<PAGE>

such Participant shall receive credit for the Hours of Service which otherwise
would have been credited to the Participant but for such absence or, if the
Administrator is unable to determine with reasonable accuracy the Participant's
imputed Hours of Service, such Participant shall receive credit for eight Hours
of Service per day of absence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Hours of Service credited
under this Subsection (f) shall not exceed 501. The Hours of Service credited
under this Subsection (f) shall be applied to the Plan Year in which the absence
begins if the Participant's Hours of Service in such Plan Year would be less
than 501 without the application of this Subsection. If the Participant has more
than 500 Hours of Service in the Plan Year in which the absence begins (without
the application of this Subsection), the Hours of Service credited under this
Subsection shall be applied to the Plan Year that immediately follows the Plan
Year in which the absence begins.

        (g)       For purposes of eligibility to participate in the Plan and the
vesting of benefits under the Plan, Hours of Service with a member of the
Affiliated Group shall constitute Hours of Service with the Employer.

        (h)       With respect to persons who were employees of Farmco, Inc.,
SRC Vision, Inc., or Ventek, Inc. at the time the Employer acquired such
companies, for purposes of eligibility to participate in the Plan and the
vesting of benefits under the Plan, Hours of Service with those companies shall
constitute Hours of Service with the Employer.

pursuant to an agreement between the recipient and any other person ("leasing
organization") has performed services for the recipient (or for the recipient

on a substantially full time basis for a period of at least one year, and such
services are performed under the primary direction and control of the recipient.
Contributions or benefits provided a Leased Employee by the leasing
organization, which are attributable to services performed for the recipient,
shall be treated as provided by the recipient.

A Leased Employee shall not be considered an employee of the recipient if:

providing: (1) a nonintegrated employer contribution rate of at least 10 percent
of compensation, as defined above, but including amounts contributed pursuant to

portion of the Plan when first eligible may subsequently participate in the
401(k) portion of the Plan only as of an Entry Date.

satisfies the requirements of Section 2.2.1 or Section 2.2.2, whichever is
applicable, or (ii) or the date of reemployment.

        2.2.4     Change in Status. If an Employee becomes eligible to

portion of the Plan upon delivering a completed enrollment form to the
Administrator. If a Participant becomes ineligible to participate because of a
change in employment status, no further contributions shall be credited to the
Participant's Account; provided that, for as long as the Participant remains
employed by the Employer, the Participant will continue to accrue Hours of
Service for purposes of determining his or her vested benefit under the Plan.

<PAGE>

                      SECTION 3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN.

SECTION 3.1       PARTICIPANT 401(k) CONTRIBUTIONS.

Each Participant may reduce his or her Compensation and the Employer shall
contribute the amount of such reduction to the Trustees. Such contributions are
termed "401(k) contributions" for purposes of this Plan. If for any reason the
Employer does not contribute the 401(k) contribution amount to the Plan, or if
at any time the Trustees return any portion of a 401(k) contribution to the
Employer, the Employer shall promptly pay such sum to the Participant. Each
Participant's Compensation reduction amount may be a dollar amount or a
percentage from 1 to 15 percent, in increments of whole percentages. A 401(k)
election shall be effective as of the Entry Date following the date the election
is delivered to the Administrator. No Participant's salary may be reduced for
any pay period in excess of the net amount of Compensation then payable to the
Participant after all other reductions.

SECTION 3.2       EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS.

In addition to the Participants' 401(k) contributions, for any Plan Year the
Employer may, in its sole discretion, make a profit sharing contribution in an
amount determined by the Board of Directors. No person, including the Trustees,
shall compel the Employer to make any profit sharing contribution to the Plan.

On behalf of each Participant who has made a 401(k) contribution to the Plan
under Section 3.1, the Employer shall contribute to the Trustees an amount equal
to 50 percent of the Participant's 401(k) contribution up to four percent of the
Participant's Compensation. Accordingly, the maximum Employer matching
contribution shall not exceed two percent of the Participant's Compensation. The
amount of the Employer matching contribution and the limitations thereon shall
be calculated and applied with respect to each pay period and payroll check and
not on a cumulative or annual basis; provided that for Participants electing to
contribute a dollar amount rather than a percentage of Compensation, the
Employer may make an additional year-end contribution to reconcile the
Employer's contribution with the percentage amounts provided below.

SECTION 3.3       CHANGE IN 401(k) AMOUNT.

        3.3.1     The 401(k) percentage designated by the Participant under
Section 3.1 will continue in effect, notwithstanding any change in Compensation,
until the Participant elects to change his or her contribution to the Plan. A
Participant, by filing a written election form with the Administrator, may
change the percentage effective as of the next following Entry Date.

        3.3.2     A Participant, by filing a written election with the
Administrator, may elect to suspend 401(k) contributions under Section 3.1
effective 30 days after the date such written election to suspend is received by
the Administrator. Suspension of contributions shall continue in effect
thereafter. To resume contributions, the Participant must deliver a new
enrollment form to the Administrator. The resumption shall commence on the Entry
Date following the receipt by the Administrator of the new enrollment form. A
Participant may not make up suspended contributions.

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 10

<PAGE>

        3.3.3     In the event the Administrator determines that requirements of
Section 3.4.4 (relating to average deferral percentage testing) will not be met
for a Plan Year, the Administrator may prospectively reduce the amounts of the
401(k) contributions for Highly Compensated Employees to the extent necessary to
meet the requirements of Section 3.4.4 for the Plan Year. The reduction shall be
accomplished by the Administrator unilaterally amending the 401(k) elections of
any Highly Compensated Employee to eliminate any potential excess contributions,
determined in accordance with Section 3.4.4.

SECTION 3.4       LIMITS ON CONTRIBUTIONS.

        3.4.1     Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, a
Participant's 401(k) contributions under this Plan and any other plan of the
Employer for a calendar year shall not exceed the maximum amount under Section
401(g) of the Code. The "maximum amount" is $10,000 for 1999 and $10,500 for
2000 and 2001. For years after 2001, the maximum amount shall be adjusted to
correspond to the amount established by the Secretary of the Treasury under the
provisions of Section 402(g)(5) of the Code. Any contributions in excess of the
maximum amount shall be considered "excess deferrals." A Participant is deemed
to have notified the Plan of excess deferrals to the extent the individual has
excess deferrals for the Plan Year calculated by taking into account only
elective deferrals under the Plan and any other plan of the Employer.

        3.4.2     If a Participant participates in more than one 401(k) plan,
the Participant may assign his or her excess deferrals for a calendar year to
this Plan by notifying the Administrator on or before March 1 of the following
year of the amount of the excess deferral to be assigned to this Plan.

        3.4.3     Any excess deferrals, plus any income allocable thereto for
the Plan Year in which the contribution was made, shall be distributed no later
than April 15 to any Participant to whose 401(k) Account excess deferrals were
assigned for the preceding year and who claims excess deferrals for such
calendar year or is deemed to have notified the Plan of excess deferrals. The
amount of any excess deferrals to be distributed with respect to a Participant
for a calendar year shall be reduced by any excess contribution previously
distributed with respect to the Participant for the Plan Year beginning with or
within such calendar year. The Administrator may use any reasonable method for
computing the income for the Plan Year in which the contribution was made that
is allocable to excess deferrals, provided that the method does not violate Code
Section 401(a)(4), is used consistently for all Participants and for all
corrective distributions under the Plan for that Plan Year, and is used by the
Plan for allocating income to Participants' Accounts.

        3.4.4     For each Plan Year, the Plan shall satisfy the
nondiscrimination test in Section 401(k)(3) of the Code (relating to average
deferral percentage testing) in accordance with Treas. Regs. Section 1.401(k)-1.
These Code and Treasury Regulation sections are hereby incorporated by this
reference and shall take precedence over all other provisions in the Plan. The
prior year testing method shall be used for purposes of the nondiscrimination
test. For purposes of determining Compensation for purposes of the
nondiscrimination test, only Compensation for the period in which the Employee
is an eligible Employee shall be counted. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Plan, if the requirements of this Section 3.4.4 are not satisfied for a
Plan

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 11

<PAGE>

Year, a Highly Compensated Employee shall be paid the amount of his or her
"excess contributions" (defined below) plus income allocable thereto for the
Plan Year in which the contribution was made. Payment of excess contributions
shall occur before the close of the first 2 1/2 months of the Plan Year
following the Plan Year of the contribution. The Administrator may use any
reasonable method for computing the income allocable to excess contributions,
provided that the method does not violate Code Section 401(a)(4), is used
consistently for all Participants and for all corrective distributions under the
Plan for that Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating income to
Participants' Accounts. A Highly Compensated Employee's "excess contributions"
are 401(k) contributions in excess of the contributions that would have been
made if the Highly Compensated Employee's actual dollar amount deferred were
subject to a leveling method under which: the actual dollar amount deferred is
reduced to the extent required to (1) enable the Plan to satisfy the
requirements of this Section 3.4.4 or (2) cause such Highly Compensated
Employee's actual dollar amount deferred to equal the actual dollar amount
deferred of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest actual dollar
amount deferred, repeating this process until the requirements of this Section
3.4.4 are met. The amount of excess contributions to be distributed with respect
to a Participant for a Plan Year shall be reduced by any excess deferrals
previously distributed to the Participant for the calendar year ending with or
within such Plan Year.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4.4 to the contrary, the amount of a
Highly Compensated Employee's "excess contributions," and the method of
distributing such contributions from the Plan, shall be determined in accordance
with applicable Treasury Regulations.

        3.4.5     401(k) contributions and Employer matching contributions made
by or on behalf of a Highly Compensated Employee shall be subject to the
multiple use limitations of Proposed Treas. Regs. Section 1.401(m)-2, which is
hereby incorporated by reference. 401(k) contributions of Highly Compensated
Employees will be treated as excess contributions to the extent necessary to
comply with the combined limit (beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee
whose actual deferral ratio is the highest). If a 401(k) contribution is treated
as an excess contribution, then any Employer matching contribution made with
respect to the 401(k) contribution shall be treated as an excess aggregate
contribution as described in Section 3.4.6.

        3.4.6     For each Plan Year, the Plan shall satisfy the
nondiscrimination test in Section 401(m) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations interpreting this test. This Code section and these Regulations are
hereby incorporated by this reference and shall take precedence over all other
provisions in the Plan. The prior year testing method shall be used for purposes
of the nondiscrimination test.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the requirements of this
Section 3.4.6 are not satisfied for a Plan Year, a Highly Compensated Employee
shall be paid the amount of his or her "excess aggregate contributions" (defined
below) plus income allocable thereto for the Plan Year in which the contribution
was made. Payment of excess aggregate contributions shall occur before the close
of the first 2 1/2 months of the Plan Year following the Plan Year of the
contribution. The Administrator may use any reasonable method for computing the
income that is allocable to excess aggregate contributions, provided that the
method does not violate Code

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 12

<PAGE>

Section 401(a)(4), is used consistently for all Participants and for all
corrective distributions under the Plan for that Plan Year, and is used by the
Plan for allocating income to Participants' Accounts. A Highly Compensated
Employee's "excess aggregate contributions" are Employer matching contributions
in excess of the Employer matching contributions that would have been made if
the Highly Compensated Employee's actual contribution ratio were subject to a
leveling method under which: the actual dollar contribution amount of the Highly
Compensated Employee with the highest actual dollar contribution amount is
reduced to the extent required to (i) enable the Plan to satisfy the
requirements of this Section 3.4.6 or (ii) cause such Highly Compensated
Employee's actual dollar contribution amount to equal the actual dollar
contribution amount of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest
actual dollar contribution amount, repeating this process until the requirements
of this Section 3.4.6 are met. A matching contribution shall be forfeited and
not taken into account for purposes of this Section 3.4.6 if the contribution to
which it relates is treated as an excess deferral under Section 3.4.1 or an
excess contribution under Section 3.4.4.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4.6 to the contrary, the amount of a
Highly Compensated Employee's "excess aggregate contributions," and the method
of distributing such contributions from the Plan, shall be determined in
accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. A method under which Employee
contributions are distributed to Highly Compensated Employees to the extent
necessary to meet the requirements of Section 401(m)(2) of the Code, while
matching contributions attributable to such Employee contributions remain
allocated to the Employee's Account will not meet the requirements of Section
401(a)(4) of the Code.

Failure to correct excess aggregate contributions by the close of the Plan Year
following the Plan Year for which they were made will cause the Plan to fail to
satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code for the Plan Year for
which the excess aggregate contributions were made and for all subsequent years
they remain uncorrected. Also, the Employer will be liable for a 10% excise tax
on the amount of excess aggregate contributions unless they are corrected within
2-1/2 months after the close of the Plan Year for which they were made.

Distribution (or forfeiture, if applicable) of excess aggregate contributions
shall be made on the basis of the respective portions of such amounts
attributable to each Highly Compensated Employee.

Excess aggregate contributions may not be corrected by forfeiture if such
contributions are not forfeitable under the terms of the Plan. Matching
contributions that are vested may not be forfeited to correct excess aggregate
contributions.

SECTION 3.5       FORM AND TIMING OF CONTRIBUTIONS.

        3.5.1     Contributions to the Plan shall only be in cash.

        3.5.2     The Employer shall make payments to the Trustees to cover all
contributions as follows:

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 13

<PAGE>

                  (a)    All contributions for a Plan Year shall be paid, in one
        or more installments, no later than 12 months after the end of the Plan
        Year;

                  (b)    A 401(k) contribution shall be paid as soon as the
        amount can reasonably be identified and separated from the Employer's
        other assets. Payment shall in any event be made within 90 days after
        the Participant would otherwise have received the amount withheld from
        pay on account of the 401(k) contribution;

                  (c)    All contributions for a Plan Year shall be paid within
        the regular or extended time for filing the Employer's federal income
        tax return for the year; and

                  (d)    Any amount that is paid after the end of a Plan Year
        within the time specified in (c) shall be treated as though paid on the
        last day of the year.

SECTION 3.6       PORTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS.

The Trustee of this Plan may accept rollover contributions:

        (a)       from a trustee of another plan qualified pursuant to Section
401(a);

        (b)       from an individual retirement account (IRA) which is a conduit
IRA described under Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code; or

        (c)       from a Participant in a qualifying rollover as provided under
Section 408(b) of the Code,

but only if each of the following conditions are satisfied:

        (i)       the Participant's transferred assets shall be separately
accounted for in this Plan;

        (ii)      the Participant's transferred assets shall not be forfeitable
and shall not reduce in any way the obligation of the Employer under this Plan;
and

        (iii)     the transfer will not make this Plan a direct or indirect
transferee of a plan required to provide a joint and survivor annuity or
preretirement survivor annuity, as described at Section 401(a)(11)(B)(iii)(III)
of the Code or Treasury Regulations thereunder.

Amounts credited to Rollover Accounts may be withdrawn at any time without
regard to hardship or attainment of age 59 1/2.

                              SECTION 4. ACCOUNTS.

SECTION 4.1       PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS.

        4.1.1     The Administrator shall maintain accounts for each Participant
recording that person's interest in (i) 401(k) contributions ("401(k) Account");
(ii) Employer profit sharing contributions and Employer matching contributions
("Employer Account"); (iii) rollover contributions pursuant to Section 3.6
("Rollover Account"); and (iv) accounts received from the ARC Capital Profit
Sharing and Salary Deferral Plan ("ARC Account"), each of which shall be
regularly adjusted in accordance with Section 4.2. Except as otherwise provided
in the Plan, the Trustees shall hold all assets of the Plan in a single,
commingled fund, and no Participant shall have any interest in an individual
asset of the Trust Fund.

        4.1.2     Any amounts transferred to the Plan representing a rollover
account of a participant in the ARC Capital Profit Sharing and Salary Deferral
Plan shall be credited to a Rollover Account in this Plan. Other amounts
transferred to the Plan from the ARC Capital Profit Sharing and Salary Deferral
Plan shall be credited to an ARC Account.

SECTION 4.2       ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNTS.

        4.2.1     After each Valuation Date, the Administrator shall adjust each
Account as follows:

                  (a)    Each Account shall be adjusted for payments made from
        the Account since the preceding Valuation Date.

                  (b)    After adjusting the Accounts as provided in (a) above,
        each Account shall be further adjusted as follows:

                         (i)    Trust Funds not placed in Designated Investment
                  Funds. The net realized income or loss of that portion of the
                  Trust Fund not placed in designated investment funds and any
                  increase or decrease in the fair market value of such portion
                  of the Trust Fund since the preceding Valuation Date shall be
                  credited or charged to each Account in the proportion which
                  the value of each Account not placed in designated investments
                  bears to the total value of all Accounts not placed in
                  designated investment funds.

                         (ii)   Trust Funds placed in Designated Investment
                  Funds. Any designated investment funds shall be separately
                  valued not less often than annually. The net realized income
                  or loss of each designated investment and any net increase or
                  decrease in the fair market value of each of the designated
                  investment funds shall be credited to or charged to each
                  Account in the proportion which the value of that part of each
                  Account placed in the designated investment fund bears to the
                  total of all of the Accounts placed in the designated
                  investment fund.

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 15

<PAGE>

        4.2.2     Each Participant's 401(k) Account shall be credited with the
401(k) contributions made on behalf of the Participant during the Plan Year,
adjusted appropriately for income since the date of the contribution. The
Administrator may adopt and revise from time to time an appropriate
administrative policy for allocating income to such contributions.

        4.2.3     Each Participant's Employer Account shall be credited with the
appropriate portion of the Employer profit sharing contribution and forfeitures
for the Plan Year.

        4.2.4     Each Participant's Employer Account shall be credited with the
appropriate portion of the Employer matching contribution for the Plan Year. The
Administrator may adopt and revise from time to time an appropriate
administrative policy for allocating income to such contributions.

SECTION 4.3       ALLOCATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND FORFEITURES.

        4.3.1     Each Participant shall have allocated to his or her 401(k)
Account the Participant's 401(k) contribution. Each Participant shall have
allocated to his or her Employer Account the portion of the Employer matching
contribution that was made with respect to the Participant's 401(k)
contribution.

        4.3.2     The Employer Account of each Participant who (i) has at least
1,000 Hours of Service in the Plan Year and who is employed on the last day of
that Plan Year, or (ii) terminates employment during the Plan Year after
reaching Normal Retirement Age or for reasons of death or total disability (as
described in Section 5.3), shall share in the allocation of the Employer profit
sharing contribution and forfeitures for that Plan Year; provided, however, the
Employer Account of each Participant who is not a Highly Compensated Employee
and who terminates employment during the Plan Year after completing 500 Hours of
Service shall share in the allocation of Employer profit sharing contributions
and forfeitures for the Plan Year if necessary for the Plan to satisfy the
minimum coverage requirements of Code Sections 410(b) and 401(a)(26) for that
Plan Year.

        4.3.3     Subject to any Plan rules relating to limitations on
contributions and special allocations of forfeitures, the Employer profit
sharing contribution and forfeitures during a Plan Year shall be allocated among
the Employer Accounts of the Participants eligible to share in the allocation
pursuant to Section 4.3.2 as follows:

                  (a)    First, the contribution and forfeitures shall be
        allocated in proportion to the sum of each Participant's Compensation
        and his or her Excess Compensation for the Plan Year, not to exceed 5.7%
        of the sum of each Participant's Compensation and Excess Compensation
        for the Plan Year. "Excess Compensation" for a Plan Year means an amount
        by which a Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year exceeds the
        annual wages that are subject to social security payroll taxes (FICA)
        under Section 3121(a)(1) of the Code as of the first day of that Plan
        Year.

                  (b)    Then the contribution and forfeitures remaining after
        (a) shall be allocated in the proportion that the Compensation of each
        Participant for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all
        Participants who are eligible to share in the allocation.

SECTION 4.4       MAXIMUM ANNUAL ADDITIONS TO ACCOUNTS.

        4.4.1     The amount of Annual Additions which the Administrator may
allocate under this Plan to a Participant's Accounts for a Plan Year shall not
exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount. If the amount the Employer otherwise
would contribute to the Participant's Accounts would cause the Annual Additions
for the Plan Year to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the Employer shall
reduce its contribution to this Plan so that the Annual Additions for the Plan
Year equal the Maximum Permissible Amount.

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

        4.4.3     As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the
Plan Year, the Administrator shall determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for
such Plan Year on the basis of the Participant's actual Compensation for such
Plan Year. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence or because of the allocation
of forfeitures, there is an Excess Addition with respect to a Participant for a
Plan Year, the Administrator shall dispose of such Excess Addition as follows:

                  (a)    The Administrator shall return any nondeductible
        contributions to the Participant to the extent the return would reduce
        the Excess Addition.

                  (b)    If, after the application of (a), an Excess Addition
        still exists and the Plan covers the Participant at the end of the Plan
        Year, the Administrator shall use the Excess Addition to reduce future
        Employer contributions (including any allocation of forfeitures) under
        the Plan for the next Plan Year and for each succeeding Plan Year, as is
        necessary, for the Participant.

                  (c)    If, after the application of (a), an Excess Addition
        still exists and the Plan does not cover the Participant at the end of
        the Plan Year, the Administrator shall hold the Excess Addition
        unallocated in a suspense account. The Administrator shall apply the
        suspense account to reduce Employer contributions (including allocation
        of forfeitures) for all remaining Participants in the next Plan Year,
        and in each succeeding Plan Year, if necessary.

                  (d)    The Administrator shall not distribute any Excess
        Addition to Participants or to former Participants.

        4.4.4     If, in addition to this Plan, the Participant is covered under
another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, a
welfare benefit fund, as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code maintained by the
Employer, or an individual medical account, as defined in Section 415(l)(2) of
the Code, maintained by the employer, which provides an Annual

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 17

<PAGE>

Addition during any limitation year, then the provisions under Section 415(c) of
the Code and the regulations thereunder shall apply.

        4.4.5     If the Employer at any time maintained a qualified defined
benefit plan covering any Participant in this Plan, the provisions of Section
415(e) of the Code and regulations thereunder shall apply to limitation years
ending before January 1, 2000.

        4.4.6     The limitation year is the Plan Year. All qualified plans of
the Affiliated Group shall have the same limitation year.

        4.4.7     For purposes of this Section 4.4:

                  (a)    "Annual Addition" means the sum of the following
        amounts allocated on behalf of a Participant for a Plan Year: (1) all
        employer contributions; (2) all employee contributions (determined
        without regard to any rollover contributions (as defined in Code
        sections 402(a)(5), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8) and 408(d)(3)) without regard
        to employee contributions to a simplified employee pension plan which
        are excludable from income pursuant to Code section 408(d)(6); (3) all
        forfeitures; (4) amounts described in Sections 415(l) and 419(A)(d)(2)
        of the Code; (5) amounts reapplied to reduce Employer contributions
        under Section 4.4.3.

                  (b)    "Excess Addition" means the excess of the Participant's
        Annual Additions for the Plan Year over the Maximum Permissible Amount.

                  (c)    "Maximum Permissible Amount" means the lesser of (1)
        $30,000 (or, if greater, 1/4 of the dollar limitation in effect under
        Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code), or (2) 25 percent of the
        Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year. For purposes of the
        preceding sentence, the Compensation limitation shall not apply to any
        contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Section
        419A(f)(2) of the Code) after separation from service which is otherwise
        treated as an annual addition.

        4.4.8     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may direct
the Trustees to distribute to the Participant elective deferrals (within the
meaning of Section 402(g)(3)) to the extent that the distribution would reduce
the excess amounts in the Participant's Account. These amounts are disregarded
for purposes of the limitation in Section 402(g) (see Section 3.4.1, above), and
the actual deferral percentage test of Code Section 401(k)(3) (see Section
3.4.4, above), and the actual contribution percentage test of Code Section
401(m)(2) (see Section 3.4.6, above).

        4.4.9     The limitations of Section 415 of the Code and Treasury
Regulations thereunder are incorporated in their entirety into this Plan by
reference and shall take precedence and priority over all other provisions of
the Plan.

                              SECTION 5. BENEFITS.

SECTION 5.1       DISTRIBUTIONS AT RETIREMENT.

A Participant's Accounts shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable once the
Participant attains Normal Retirement Age. Subject to Section 5.5, a Participant
who terminates employment after Normal Retirement Age may direct the
Administrator to authorize the Trustees to distribute the Participant's Accounts
to the Participant at any time after the termination of his or her employment in
a single distribution in cash.

SECTION 5.2       DISTRIBUTIONS AT DEATH.

        5.2.1     If a Participant's employment terminates because of death, the
Participant's Accounts shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable. The provisions
herein relating to distributions to a Beneficiary also apply in the event of the
death of a Participant whose employment previously terminated but who has not
yet received the total amount to which the Participant is entitled under the
Plan. No beneficiary shall receive any amount greater than the undistributed
vested portion of the Participant's Accounts.

        5.2.2     As soon as practicable after the Participant's death, the
amount credited to a deceased Participant's Accounts shall be distributed to the
Participant's Beneficiary in a single lump sum in cash.

        5.2.3     Each Participant may file with the Administrator a designation
of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive amounts payable from the Plan upon
the Participant's death. The designation may be changed from time to time by the
Participant. No designation of Beneficiary or change of designation is effective
until delivered to the Administrator. A married Participant's designation of a
Beneficiary or change in designation which names a Beneficiary other than the
Participant's spouse shall be ineffective unless the designation names a
specific beneficiary and the spouse consents to the designation in writing. The
spousal consent shall be irrevocable and shall be witnessed by a representative
of the Administrator or notary public. Spousal consent shall not be required if
(i) the spouse cannot be located after a reasonable effort or (ii) the
Participant has a court order to the effect that the Participant has been
abandoned or is legally separated. Also, if the spouse is legally incompetent to
give consent, the spouse's legal guardian may give such consent (even if the
guardian is the Participant). If the Participant has not named a Beneficiary, or
if no named Beneficiary is living at the death of the Participant, the Accounts
shall be distributed to the following persons in the following order of
priority:

                  (a)    the Participant's spouse;

                  (b)    the Participant's lineal descendants, by right of
        representation; or

                  (c)    the Participant's estate.

If a Beneficiary dies after the Participant but before receiving the full
distribution to which the Beneficiary is entitled, any remaining amount shall be
paid to the Beneficiary's estate.

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 19

SECTION 5.3       DISTRIBUTIONS UPON OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

        5.3.1     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a
Participant's 401(k) Account, ARC Account and Rollover Account shall be fully
vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

In the event a Participant's employment terminates for any reason other than
retirement, death or disability (as described below), the percentage of the
Participant's Employer Account that is vested and nonforfeitable shall be
determined according to the following schedule:

                  -------------------------------------------------
                      Years of Service       Vested Percentage
                  -------------------------------------------------
                        Less than 3                  0%
                  -------------------------------------------------
                             3                      20%
                  -------------------------------------------------
                             4                      40%
                  -------------------------------------------------
                             5                      60%
                  -------------------------------------------------
                             6                      80%
                  -------------------------------------------------
                         7 or more                 100%
                  -------------------------------------------------

A year of service is a Plan Year in which an Employee has at least 1,000 Hours
of Service. All years of service, whether or not consecutive and whether or not
before the Effective Date of the Plan, shall be counted; provided, however, any
year of service after five consecutive Plan Years in which a Participant has 500
Hours of Service or less shall not be considered for purposes of determining the
vested percentage of a Participant's Employer Account derived from contributions
and forfeitures attributable to Plan Years before the first of the consecutive
Plan Years in which the Participant had 500 Hours of Service or less. The Plan
Year changed from a fiscal year ending September 30 to a calendar year in 1994.
An Employee shall receive credit for a year of service if he or she had 1,000
Hours of Service in the 12 consecutive months ending September 30, 1994 and
another year of service if he or she had 1,000 Hours of Service in the 12
consecutive months ending December 31, 1994.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the employment of a Participant terminates
because of a total physical or mental disability that, in the opinion of the
Administrator, permanently prevents the Participant from resuming employment
with the Employer, the Participant's Employer Account shall be fully vested and
nonforfeitable. In determining whether or not a Participant is permanently
physically or mentally disabled, the Administrator may rely upon the
certification of a medical examiner satisfactory to the Administrator and the
Administrator shall, to the fullest extent practicable, treat alike all
Participants similarly situated.

        5.3.2     If a Participant's employment with the Employer terminates and
the value of the Participant's vested Accounts does not exceed $5,000, the
Trustees shall distribute to the Participant the value of the Participant's
vested Accounts not later than 120 days after the end of the Plan Year in which
the Participant's employment terminated. For purposes of determining whether
Section 5.3.2 or Section 5.3.3 applies, if a Participant's vested Accounts
exceed $5,000 at the time of a distribution, then the Participant's vested
Accounts shall be deemed to exceed $5,000 at all subsequent times, in accordance
with Treas. Regs. Section 1.411(a)-11(c)(3). If the value of a Participant's
vested Accounts is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 20

<PAGE>

distribution of such vested Accounts. The nonvested portion of a Participant's
Accounts shall be forfeited on the date of the distribution.

        5.3.3     If a Participant's employment with the Employer terminates and
the value of the Participant's vested Accounts exceeds $5,000, the Participant
may elect to receive his or her vested Accounts at any time after the
Participant terminates employment, but no later than the time specified in
Section 5.5. If the Participant does not elect a distribution date, then the
Participant's distribution date shall be his or her Normal Retirement Age. If a
Participant elects to receive a distribution of his or her vested Accounts
pursuant to this Section 5.3.3, and the distribution is made before the close of
the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant's
employment terminates, the nonvested portion of the Employer Account shall be
forfeited on the date of the distribution. If a Participant elects to receive a
distribution of his or her vested Accounts pursuant to this Section 5.3.3, and
the distribution is made after the close of the second Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Participant's employment terminates, the nonvested
portion of the Employer Account shall be forfeited at the close of the fifth
consecutive Plan Year in which the Participant has 500 Hours of Service or less.

        5.3.4     If a Participant forfeits all or any portion of an Employer
Account balance upon termination of employment and then later resumes employment
covered under this Plan before there have been five consecutive Plan Years in
which the Participant has 500 Hours of Service or less, an Employer Account for
the Participant will be reestablished and credited with the amount that was
forfeited. The amount needed to reestablish a Participant's Employer Account
shall be accomplished by a special allocation of forfeitures as of the last day
of that Plan Year. If forfeitures are insufficient, the Employer shall make an
additional contribution to the Plan as of the last day of the Plan Year in an
amount equal to the difference between the forfeited portion of the Employer
Account and the specially allocated forfeitures, and such sum shall be credited
to the Participant's Employer Account. The Participant is not required to repay
the amount of his or her prior distribution to qualify for reestablishment of
the Employer Account under this paragraph.

A Participant's vested interest in the Employer Account reestablished under the
preceding paragraph shall thereafter equal P(AB + [RxD]) - (RxD).

                  (a)    P is the vested percentage determined in accordance
        with Section 5.3.1 as of the date the determination is made.

                  (b)    AB is the value of the Account as of the last day of
        the Plan Year preceding the date the determination is made.

                  (c)    D is the amount previously distributed to the
        Participant.

                  (d)    R is the ratio of AB to the value of the Account
        immediately after the distribution occurred.

An Employer Account subject to this Section 5.3.4 shall be separately
maintained, and shall be adjusted annually in accordance with Section 4.2.1. No
further Employer contributions or

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 21

<PAGE>

forfeitures shall be credited to the Employer Account after the Participant's
reemployment and another Employer Account shall be maintained for the
Participant's interest in future Employer contributions and forfeitures.

SECTION 5.4       DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ACCOUNTS DURING EMPLOYMENT.

        5.4.1     A Participant who has attained age 59 1/2 as of the first day
of the calendar quarter in which a withdrawal is to be made pursuant to this
Section 5.4.1 may, without penalty and no more than once in any Plan Year, elect
to withdraw all or a part of his or her 401(k) Account.

        5.4.2     In the event a Participant suffers a hardship, the Participant
may file a request with the Administrator on the prescribed form to withdraw
from his or her 401(k) Account all or any part of his or her 401(k)
contributions, but not any earnings, income or gains attributable to such
contributions. Such request must specify the reason(s) why the withdrawal is
required. A hardship withdrawal under this Section 5.4.2 shall be permitted only
if the Participant has demonstrated that an immediate and heavy financial need
exists and that no resources other than such withdrawal are reasonably available
to satisfy such need. Only one hardship withdrawal shall be permitted in any
12-month period.

The following shall constitute an immediate and heavy financial need:

                  (a)    Expenses for medical care described in Code Section
        213(d) previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant's spouse,
        children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152);

                  (b)    Costs directly related to the purchase (excluding
        mortgage payments) of a principal residence of the Participant;

                  (c)    Payment of tuition and related educational fees for the
        next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, his or
        her spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152);

                  (d)    Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the
        Participant from his or her principal residence or foreclosure on the
        mortgage on that residence; or

                  (e)    Any other expense or indebtedness that imposes an
        extraordinary and unexpected financial burden upon the Participant and
        that the Administrator believes would be deemed by the Internal Revenue
        Service to be an immediate and heavy financial need.

A distribution on account of an immediate and heavy financial need shall only be
made if the distribution is not in excess of the financial need and the
Administrator reasonably relies on the Participant's written representations
that the financial need cannot be relieved:

                  (i)    Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
        otherwise;

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 22

<PAGE>

                  (ii)   By reasonable liquidation of the Participant's assets,
        to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and
        heavy financial need;

                  (iii)  By cessation of 401(k) contributions; or

                  (iv)   By other distributions or nontaxable loans from
        qualified plans maintained by the Employer, or by borrowing from
        commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

A withdrawal under this Section 5.4.2 shall be based on the value of the
Participant's Accounts as of the Valuation Date that coincides with or next
precedes the date the Participant notifies the Administrator of the withdrawal;
provided, however, that if the Administrator determines in its sole discretion
that at the time the withdrawal is scheduled to be made the value of the
Participant's Accounts is likely to be less than the foregoing amount, the
Administrator in its sole discretion may prescribe further limits on the amounts
that may be withdrawn pursuant to this Section 5.4.2 at that time. Withdrawals
under this Section 5.4.2 shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable after
the Administrator has determined that the Participant has suffered a hardship.

SECTION 5.5       BENEFITS GENERALLY.

        5.5.1     Benefits shall not be paid to any Participant except in
accordance with this Article. All distributions from the Plan shall be based on
the most recent Valuation Date preceding the date of distribution. The
Administrator may require the Trustees to perform an interim valuation of the
Trust Fund at any time and for any reason, including a substantial distribution
from the Trust Fund and a significant change in the market value of the Trust
Fund since the prior valuation.

        5.5.2     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless the
Participant elects otherwise, distribution of a Participant's benefits from this
Plan must commence not later than the 60th day after the end of the Plan Year in
which the latest of the following occurs:

                  (a)    The date the Participant reaches age 65;

                  (b)    The date ten years after the Participant first
        participates in the Plan; or

                  (c)    The date the Participant's employment with the Employer
        terminates.

        5.5.3     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, amounts
attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed earlier than upon
one of the following events:

                  (a)    The Employee's retirement, death, disability or
        separation from service;

                  (b)    The termination of the Plan without establishment of a
        successor plan;

                  (c)    The Employee's attainment of age 59-1/2 or, for Plan
        Years beginning before 1989, the Employee's hardship; or

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 23

<PAGE>

                  (d)    The sale or other disposition by a corporation of its
        interest in a subsidiary to an unrelated entity but only with respect to
        employees who continue employment with the subsidiary.

This Section 5.5.3 is only included in this Plan to conform the Plan to
limitations on distributions under 401(k) of the Code and this Section 5.5.3
shall be not interpreted to provide any form, manner or time for a distribution
from the Plan that is not expressly provided elsewhere in this Plan.

        5.5.4     In no event shall payments be made during a Participant's life
to or for the benefit of any person other than the Participant, except as
otherwise provided in the Plan. No Participant may elect to have all or part of
his or her Accounts paid only after death.

        5.5.5     Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the
distributions under the Plan must be made in accordance with Section 401(a)(9)
of the Code and the regulations thereunder and must satisfy the minimum
distribution incidental benefit requirement of Proposed Treas. Regs. Section
1.401(a)(9)-2. The requirements of this Section 5.5.5 and Section 5.5.6 shall
apply to any distribution of a Participant's interest and will take precedence
over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan. Unless otherwise specified, the
provisions of Sections 5.5.5 and 5.5.6 apply to calendar years beginning after
December 31, 1984. If the Participant's interest is to be distributed in other
than a single sum, the following minimum distribution rules shall apply on or
after the required beginning date:

                  (a)    Required beginning date. The entire interest of a
        Participant shall be distributed or begin to be distributed no later
        than the Participant's required beginning date.

                  (b)    Limits on distribution periods. As of the first
        distribution calendar year, distributions, if not made in a single sum,
        may only be made over one of the following periods (or a combination
        thereof):

                         (i)    the life of the Participant;

                         (ii)   the life of the Participant and a designated
                  beneficiary;

                         (iii)  a period certain not extending beyond the life
                  expectancy of the Participant; or

                         (iv)   a period certain not extending beyond the joint
                  life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and a
                  designated beneficiary.

                  (c)    Individual account.

                         (i)    If a Participant's benefit is to be distributed
                  over (1) a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of
                  the Participant or the joint life and last

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 24

<PAGE>

                  survivor expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's
                  designated beneficiary or (2) a period not extending beyond
                  the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary, the amount
                  required to be distributed for each calendar year, beginning
                  with distributions for the first distribution calendar year,
                  must at least equal the quotient obtained by dividing the
                  Participant's benefit by the applicable life expectancy.

                         (ii)   For calendar years beginning before January 1,
                  1989, if the Participant's spouse is not the designated
                  beneficiary, the method of distribution selected must assure
                  that at least 50% of the present value of the amount available
                  for distribution is paid within the life expectancy of the
                  Participant.

                         (iii)  For calendar years beginning after December 31,
                  1988, the amount to be distributed each 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 lesser of (1) the applicable life
                  expectancy or (2) if the Participant's spouse is not the
                  designated beneficiary, the applicable divisor determined from
                  the table set forth in Q&A-4 of Proposed Treas. Regs. Section
                  1.401(a)(9)-2. Distributions after the death of the
                  participant shall be distributed using the applicable life
                  expectancy in Subsection (c) above as the relevant divisor
                  without regard to Proposed Treas. Regs. Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.

                         (iv)   The minimum distribution required for the
                  Participant's first distribution calendar year must be made on
                  or before the Participant's required beginning date. 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.

        5.5.6     Death Distribution Provisions.

                  (a)    Distribution beginning before death. If the Participant
dies after distribution of his or her interest has begun, the remaining portion
of such interest will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution being used prior to the Participant's death.

                  (b)    Distribution beginning after death. If the Participant
dies before distribution of his or her interest begins, 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 (i)
or (ii) below:

                         (i)    if any portion of the Participant's interest is
                  payable to a designated beneficiary, distributions may be made
                  over the life expectancy, or over a period certain not greater
                  than the life expectancy, of the designated beneficiary, and

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 25

<PAGE>

                  shall commence on or before December 31 of the calendar year
                  immediately following the calendar year in which the
                  Participant died;

                         (ii)   if the designated beneficiary is the
                  Participant's surviving spouse, the date distributions are
                  required to begin in accordance with (i) 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 Subsection 5.5.6(b)
by the time of his or her 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
Section, 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.

                  (c)    For purposes of Subsection 5.5.6(b) above, if the
        surviving spouse dies after the Participant, but before payments to such
        spouse begin, the provisions of Subsection 5.5.6(b), with the exception
        of Subsection (ii) therein, shall be applied as if the surviving spouse
        were the Participant.

                  (d)    For purposes of this Section 5.5.6, any amount paid to
        a child of the Participant will be treated as if it had been paid to the
        surviving spouse if the amount becomes payable to the surviving spouse
        when the child reaches the age of majority.

                  (e)    For purposes of this Section 5.5.6, distribution of a
        Participant's interest is considered to begin on the Participant's
        required beginning date (or, if Subsection 5.5.6(c) above is applicable,
        the date distribution is required to begin to the surviving spouse
        pursuant to Subsection 5.5.6(b) above). 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.

        5.5.7     For purposes of Sections 5.55 and 5.5.6, the following
definitions shall apply:

                  (a)    Applicable Life Expectancy. The life expectancy (or
        joint and last survivor expectancy) calculated using the attained age of
        the Participant (or designated beneficiary) as of the Participant's (or
        designated beneficiary's) birthday in the applicable calendar year
        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.

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 26

<PAGE>

                  (b)    Designated beneficiary. The individual who is
        designated as the beneficiary under the Plan in accordance with Section
        401(a)(9) of the Code and the proposed regulations thereunder.

                  (c)    Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a
        minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the
        Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is the
        calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the
        Participant's required beginning date. For distributions beginning after
        the Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is the
        calendar year in which distributions are required to begin pursuant to
        Section 5.5.5 above.

                  (d)    Life expectancy. Life expectancy and joint and last
        survivor expectancy are computed by use of the expected return multiples
        in Tables V and VI of Treas. Regs. Section 1.72-9.

        Unless otherwise elected by the Participant (or spouse, in the case of
        distributions described in Subsection 5.5.6(b)(ii) above) by the time
        distributions are required to begin, life expectancies shall be not
        recalculated annually. Any such election to recalculate shall be
        irrevocable as to the Participant (or spouse) and shall apply to all
        subsequent years. The life expectancy of a nonspouse beneficiary may not
        be recalculated.

                  (e)    Participant's benefit.

                         (i)    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.

                         (ii)   Exception for second distribution calendar year.
                  For purposes of Subsection (i) above, 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.

                  (f)    Required beginning date.

                         (i)    General rule. The required beginning date of a
                  Participant is the first day of April of the calendar year
                  following the later of the calendar year in which the
                  Participant attains age 70-1/2 or the calendar year in which
                  the Participant retires.

                         (ii)   5-percent owners. Notwithstanding the previous
                  paragraph, the required beginning date of a Participant who is
                  a 5-percent owner is the first day

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 27

<PAGE>

                  of April following the calendar year in which the Participant
                  attains age 70 1/2. A Participant is treated as a 5-percent
                  owner for purposes of this Section if such Participant is a
                  5-percent owner as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code
                  (determined in accordance with Section 416 but without regard
                  to whether the Plan is top-heavy) at any time during the Plan
                  Year ending with or within the calendar year in which such
                  owner attains age 66 1/2 or any subsequent Plan Year.

                         (iii)  Once distributions have begun to a 5-percent
                  owner under Section 5.5.5, they must continue to be
                  distributed, even if the Participant ceases to be a 5-percent
                  owner in a subsequent year.

SECTION 5.6       PARTICIPANT LOANS.

        (a)       No loan to any Participant or Beneficiary can be made to the
extent that such loan when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans
to the Participant or Beneficiary would exceed the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced
by the excess (if any) of the highest outstanding balance of loans during the
one-year period ending on the day before the loan is made, over the outstanding
balance of loans from the Plan on the date the loan is made, or (ii) one-half of
the present value of the vested 401(k) Account balance of the Participant, or,
if greater, the total 401(k) Account balance up to $10,000. For the purpose of
the above limitation, all loans from all plan of the Employer and any Affiliated
Employer are aggregated. Furthermore, any loan shall by its terms require that
repayment (principal and interest) be amortized in level payments, not less
frequently than quarterly, over a period not extending beyond five years from
the date of the loan, unless such loan is used to acquire a dwelling unit which
within a reasonable time (determined at the time the loan is made) will be used
as the principal residence of the Participant.

        (b)       Loans may not be made to Participants or Beneficiaries who are
Highly Compensated Employees in percentage amounts greater than amounts made
available to other Participants and Beneficiaries, and such loans must be made
available to all Participants and Beneficiaries on a reasonably equivalent
basis. Any loan made must bear a reasonable rate of interest, considering all
relevant factors, specifically including current bank interest rates, and must
be adequately secured, as determined by the Committee. No Participant loan shall
exceed the lesser of (i) the present value of the Participant's vested account
balance, or (ii) the applicable amount described in Subsection (a). The account
of the borrower may be pledged as security for such loans. All costs and
expenses in connection with obtaining the loans and perfecting the Plan's
security interest therein, including but not limited to taxes, recording fees,
filing fees and attorney's fees may be charged to the Participant or Beneficiary
or may be deducted from the total proceeds of the loan.

        (c)       Any loan shall be allocated to the accounts of the Participant
to whom the loan is made and repayment of principal and interest on the loan
shall be allocated to such account in the proportion in which the funds were
borrowed.

        (d)       The Committee may adopt a loan policy, provided that it shall
not conflict with the Plan. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent a loan
policy from limiting the number, frequency, or minimum amount of participant
loans.

        (e)       In the event of default, foreclosure on the note and
attachment of security will not occur until a distributable event occurs under
the Plan.

        (f)       Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as permitted
under Section 414(u) of the Code.

SECTION 5.7       BENEFITS NOT ASSIGNABLE.

The interest of a Participant or Beneficiary in the Trust Fund shall not in any
way be subject to their debts or other obligations, may not be voluntarily or
involuntarily anticipated, assigned (either at law or in equity) or alienated,
and no such interest shall be subject to attachment, garnishment, levy,
execution, or other legal or equitable process. This Section shall not
invalidate or prevent any arrangement for the withholding of any federal, state
or local tax from plan distributions or any arrangement for the recovery by the
Plan of overpayments previously made to a Participant. In addition, this Section
shall not prohibit the Plan from complying with a qualified domestic relations
order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), or from complying with a court order
requiring offset of a Participant's benefit arising from a civil or criminal
violation of ERISA with respect to the Plan, as required under Code Section
401(a)(13)(C) and (D). A distribution to an alternate payee pursuant to a QDRO
shall be permitted at any time, notwithstanding the continued employment of the
Participant.

SECTION 5.8       PERSON TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

The Administrator may direct the Trustees to make any distribution which a
Participant is entitled to receive:

        (a)       directly to the Participant;

        (b)       to any person having custody of the Participant;

        (c)       to the legal guardian of the Participant; or

        (d)       to any person or corporation furnishing maintenance, support
or hospitalization to the Participant.

The receipt of the person to whom disbursements are made shall be a sufficient
voucher for the Trustees.

SECTION 5.9       RELEASE OF OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY.

Prior to final payment or distribution to any Participant, his or her legal
representative or Beneficiary, the Administrator may demand from the recipient a
written receipt or acquittance, in full satisfaction of all claims against the
Plan, the Trustees, the Administrator and the Employer.

SECTION 5.10      DIRECT ROLLOVER.

        5.10.1    This section applies to distributions made on or after January
1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would
otherwise limit a distributee's election under this section, a distributee may
elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have
any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible
retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

        5.10.2    Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover
distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the
credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does
not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life
expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies)
of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a
specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such
distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; 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). Effective for any distribution after December 31, 1998, the
definition of eligible rollover distribution shall not include any hardship
distribution described in Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) of the Code;

        5.10.3    Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an
individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an
individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an
annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust
described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the distributee's eligible
rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution
to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement
account or individual retirement annuity.

        5.10.4    Distributee: A distributee includes an employee or former
employee. In addition, the employee's or former employee's surviving spouse and
the employee's or former employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate
payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p)
of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or
former spouse.

        5.10.5    Direct rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to
the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

SECTION 6.1       FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY.

For purposes of ERISA the plan administrator shall be the Administrator, except
to the extent that certain rights and responsibilities are herein reserved to
the Employer and the Trustees. The Trustees shall administer the Trust Fund.

The Employer, the Trustees, and the Administrator shall not discriminate in
favor of or against any Employee in the determination of any matter under the
Plan.

SECTION 6.3       RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER.

The Employer shall provide the Administrator with all information required to
determine the eligibility of the Employees to participate, each Participant's
share of contributions to the Plan and each Participant's or Beneficiary's right
to receive distributions from the Plan. The Administrator may rely on such
information without independent investigation and shall not be responsible for
the accuracy of the information provided by the Employer.

SECTION 6.4       CLAIM PROCEDURE.

        6.4.1     Benefits under this Plan will be paid only if the
Administrator decides in the Administrator's discretion that the person claiming
a benefit is entitled to the benefit. The Administrator may request information
from any Participant or Beneficiary to determine that person's eligibility for a
distribution from the Plan. Benefits from this Plan shall be paid from the Trust
Fund based upon such procedure as the Administrator may adopt. Any person
claiming a benefit under this Plan may make a claim in writing to the
Administrator. Within 60 days following its receipt, the Administrator will
respond in writing to the person initiating the claim. If no response to a claim
is given within 60 days, the claim will be deemed to have been denied.

        6.4.2     If the Administrator denies a claim in writing, notice to the
person making the claim shall contain the following:

                  (a)    The reasons for the denial, stating specifically the
        provisions of the Plan upon which the Administrator bases the decision;

                  (b)    A statement of documents or information, if any, which
        will be required to perfect the claim, together with an explanation of
        why such documentation or information is necessary; and

                  (c)    An explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure.

        6.4.3     A person who is not satisfied with the Administrator's
response (or failure to respond) may request review by written notice to the
Review Authority, who will review the matter. The person requesting review may
be required to appear before the Review Authority.

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 31

<PAGE>

On review, the person may be represented by counsel, may examine pertinent
documents and may submit issues and arguments in writing. For purposes of this
plan, the Review Authority shall be the president of the Employer.

        6.4.4     The decision on review will be made no later than 60 days
after the receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances of the
matter make this impractical, in which case the decision shall be made not later
than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.

SECTION 6.5       EXPENSES OF ADMINISTRATION.

The Employer may, but shall not be required to, pay all or any part of the
expenses properly and actually incurred in the administration of the Plan. In
the event the Employer elects not to pay such expenses, the Trust Fund shall
bear the expense.

SECTION 6.6       NOTICES, DIRECTIONS, Etc.

All notices, directions, and other communications by the Administrator or
Employer pursuant to this Plan (herein referred to as "directions") shall be
given or made in writing by the person or persons specifically authorized to act
on its behalf, and shall be deemed effective upon receipt by the addressee;
provided, however, that transmission of such directions by photostatic
tele-transmission with duplicate or facsimile signatures shall be an authorized
method of communication until the Trustees are notified by the Administrator
that the use of such device is no longer authorized; and, provided further, that
transmission of such directions by telephone shall also be an authorized method
of communication until the Trustees are notified by the Administrator to the
contrary. Any direction transmitted by telephone shall be promptly confirmed by
a written instrument.

SECTION 6.7       MISSING BENEFICIARIES.

If the Participant or Beneficiary to whom benefits are to be distributed cannot
be located, and reasonable efforts have been made to find him or her, including
sending notice by certified or registered mail to the last known address, the
Administrator may direct the Trustee to take any of the following actions:

        (a)       Distribute the benefits in question to an interest bearing
savings account established in the name of the Participant or Beneficiary; or,
if the benefits are payable to a Participant (as reasonably determined by the
Administrator) the Administrator may instruct the Trustee to distribute the
funds to the Participant by placing them in a savings account in the
Participant's name or by purchasing U.S. Savings Bonds in the Participant's name
and holding them for the Participant;

        (b)       If the Administrator has taken the reasonable efforts to
locate the Participant, the Administrator may allocate the Participant's
benefits to a segregated account; however, such funds shall be held in the
segregated account for distribution to the Participant when located;

        (c)       The Participant's benefits may be forfeited and reallocated;
if a benefit is forfeited because the Participant or Beneficiary cannot be
found, such benefit will be reinstated if a claim

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 32

<PAGE>

is made by the Participant or Beneficiary, and the restoration shall be made
first out of forfeitures, if any, and then by additional Employer contributions.

SECTION 7.1       DUTIES OF THE ADMINISTRATOR.

Without limiting the authority of the Administrator to manage the Plan, the

duties:

        (a)       To require any person to furnish such information as the

certificates, opinions or reports which may be furnished by any such consultant.

SECTION 7.3       COMPENSATION.

No fee or compensation shall be paid to the Administrator for its services as
such. Except as may be required by ERISA, no bond, surety, or other security
shall be required of the Administrator for the faithful performance of its
duties. Reasonable expenses properly and actually incurred by the Administrator,
including but not limited to the compensation of any accountant, counsel,
specialist or other person employed by the Administrator, shall be expenses of
administration and shall be paid pursuant to Section 6.5.

SECTION 7.4       COMMITTEE AS ADMINISTRATOR.

document on behalf of the Administrator.

SECTION 8.1       LIMITATION OF DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be those set forth in the
Plan and, except as provided by law, no other duties or responsibilities,
whether by amendment or supplement, shall be created without the written consent
of the Trustees. Except as otherwise provided in ERISA, a Trustee shall not be
liable for a breach by another fiduciary under this plan unless the Trustee:

        (a)       Participates knowingly in, or knowingly undertakes to conceal,
an act or omission of such other fiduciary, knowing such act or omission to be a
breach;

        (b)       By the Trustee's failure to comply with Section 404(a)(1) of
ERISA in the administration of the specific responsibilities which give rise to
its status as a fiduciary, the Trustee has enabled such other fiduciary to
commit a breach; or

        (c)       Has knowledge of a breach by such other fiduciary and fails to
make reasonable efforts under the circumstances to remedy the breach.

SECTION 8.2       GENERAL POWERS.

Subject to the direction of the Administrator, and except as otherwise

receive and retain any securities resulting therefrom;

        (c)       To deposit any security with any protective or reorganization
committee, and to delegate to such committee such power and authority with
respect thereto as may be deemed proper, and to pay out of the Trust Fund an

in such form that title will pass by delivery; provided, however, that the
records of the Trustees shall in all events indicate the true ownership of such
property;

        (e)       To renew or extend the time of payment of any obligation due
or to become due;

        (f)       To commence or defend suits or legal or administrative

acceptable to the Administrator and the Trustees; and to conduct the prosecution
or defense of any litigation or legal dispute subject to the control of the
Administrator;

including, without limitation, the power to receive, hold and manage property,
real or personal, or undivided interests therein, oil, mineral or gas
properties, royalty interests or rights, including equipment pertaining thereto,
leaseholds, mortgages, deeds of trust and other interests in realty, situated in

        (l)       Regardless whether the Trustees or any other fiduciary has
responsibility to manage or control the assets of the Trust Fund, to deposit any
securities held in the Trust Fund with a securities depository;

        (m)       To hold such part of the assets of the Trust Fund uninvested
for such limited periods of time as may be necessary for purposes of orderly
account administration or pending required directions, without liability for
payment of interest; provided, however, that regardless of whether the Trustees
or any other fiduciary has responsibility to manage assets of the Trust Fund,
the Trustees shall be authorized in their discretion to invest funds of the
Trust Fund, pending receipt of such direction, in savings accounts (including
savings accounts established with the Trustees) in all cases where it is
reasonable and feasible to do so; and

        (n)       The Trustees shall have no obligation to determine the

SECTION 8.3       RECORDS, VALUATION, ACCOUNTING AND SETTLEMENT.

        8.3.1     The Trustees shall keep full and complete records of the
administration of the Trust Fund and shall furnish the Administrator with a
complete accounting as soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year,
showing all income and expense since the date of the last accounting and the
fair market value of the Trust Fund as of the last day of the Plan Year. The
Administrator may demand an audit of the accounting by a certified public
accountant, to be chosen by the Administrator. Alternatively, either the
Administrator or the Trustees may require that the accounting be settled by a
court of competent jurisdiction. If no objections to the accounting are filed
within six months of its submission, it shall be deemed settled. Auditing
expenses shall be expenses of administration and shall be paid pursuant to
Section 6.5.

        8.3.2     In determining the value of assets, the Trustees shall use a
uniform and consistent method or basis of valuation which is consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles and based upon such sources of
information as will, in the Trustees' discretion, result in the fair and
equitable valuation of plan assets. The Trustees may utilize published
quotations or pricing services that the Trustees consider reliable. If the
Trustees determine that any assets of the Plan consist of property not freely
traded on a recognized exchange, or that information necessary to ascertain the
fair market value thereof is not readily available to the Trustees, the Trustees
shall take such action as they deem necessary to determine fair market value at
the expense of the Trust Fund, including, but not limited to, estimates or
appraisals of value from sources familiar with the type of property involved.
The valuations by the Trustees shall be binding upon all interested persons.

SECTION 8.4       PARTIES TO SETTLEMENT.

No Employee, Participant or Beneficiary (other than an Employee serving as
Administrator) shall be party to any accounting referred to in Section 8.3. The
Administrator shall represent all

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 38

<PAGE>

Participants and their Beneficiaries. All persons shall be bound by the
settlement of the accounting between the Trustees and the Administrator.

SECTION 8.5       INSPECTION OF RECORDS.

The record of transactions in connection with the investment of the Trust Fund
shall be open to inspection by the Administrator or its agents at all reasonable
times.

SECTION 8.6       CONFLICTING CLAIMS.

If a dispute arises as to the person to whom the Trustees are to pay any funds
or to deliver property, the Trustees may withhold the payment or delivery until
the dispute has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been
settled by the parties concerned.

SECTION 8.7       RESIGNATION.

A Trustee may resign at any time upon delivering to the Employer a written
notice of such resignation to take effect not less than 30 days after such
notice, unless the directors of the Employer agree to a shorter time.

SECTION 8.8       REMOVAL; SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.

The Employer may remove a Trustee and appoint a successor trustee, upon 30 days'
notice, unless the Trustee agrees to a shorter time.

SECTION 8.9       CONTINUATION OF THE TRUST.

No change of identity of the Trustees shall result in the dissolution or
liquidation of the Trust Fund.

SECTION 8.10      PERFORMANCE BOND.

Except as required by ERISA, the Trustees shall not be required to give any bond
or other security for the faithful performance of the duties hereunder.

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 39

<PAGE>

                      SECTION 9. INVESTMENT OF TRUST FUND

SECTION 9.1       INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT OF TRUST FUND.

The Trustees shall have full responsibility and authority to manage the
investment of the Trust Fund, without distinction between principal and income.
Participants may be given an election regarding the investment of their accounts
among various collective investment funds offered by or through the Trustees and
the Administrator shall establish such reasonable rules and requirements with
respect to such elections.

SECTION 9.2       PERMITTED INVESTMENTS.

Except as herein provided, the Trust Fund may be invested and reinvested in such
investments as the Trustees deem to be sound and advisable, including, but not
limited to, real and personal property, common and preferred stock, bonds, or
other corporate obligations, options to buy or sell corporate securities,
mortgages, trust deeds, conditional sales contracts, and other instruments.
Acquisition and holding by the Trust Fund of "qualifying employer real property"
as defined in Section 407(d)(4) of ERISA shall be permitted. Unless under the
circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so, the Trustees shall diversify
the investments so as to minimize the risk of large losses. The Trust Fund may
be held in cash or its equivalent to the extent advisable, without liability for
interest. The Trustees shall not be restricted to permissible investments as
prescribed by any present or future state law relating to investment of Trust
Funds by corporate or other trustees.

SECTION 9.3       COLLECTIVE INVESTMENTS.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the assets of this Plan may be
invested and reinvested in any trust established and maintained as a medium for
the collective investment of funds of employee benefit trusts meeting the
requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from federal income tax
under Section 501(a) of the Code, including any such collective trusts
established and maintained by a fiduciary, with respect to which this Plan is an
eligible participant; the governing instrument of any such trust, as amended
from time to time, is hereby incorporated and made a part hereof as if fully set
forth at length herein.

                  SECTION 10. TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR MERGER

SECTION 10.1      NO CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION.

The Employer established the Plan with the bona fide intention and expectation
that it will be able to and will deem it advisable to make contributions to the
Plan each year. However, the continuance of the Plan and contributions to the
Plan in any Plan Year are not assumed as a contractual obligation of the
Employer. Adopting the Plan is not a contract between the Employer and any
Employee, nor is it consideration or an inducement for or condition of the
employment of any person. Nothing contained in the Plan shall give any Employee
the right to be retained in the employ of the Employer or interfere with the
right of the Employer to discharge any Employee, with or without cause, at any
time.

SECTION 10.2      AMENDMENTS.

The Employer may from time to time amend the Plan. No amendment shall be made at
any time pursuant to which the Trust Fund or any part thereof may be diverted to
purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their
Beneficiaries. In no event shall any amendment to the Plan reduce or restrict,
either directly or indirectly, the accrued benefit of any Participant, except to
the extent permitted by the Code and by Treasury Regulations. If the vesting
schedule of the Plan is amended, and the amendment could reduce the vested
percentage of a Participant who has completed at least three Years of Service,
then such Participant may elect to have his or her vested percentage determined
under the vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment; provided, however,
that no election will be provided to any Participant whose vested percentage
under the amended vesting schedule could never be less than such percentage
under the vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment. For Participants
who do not have at least one Hour of Service in any Plan Year beginning after
December 31, 1988, the preceding sentence shall be applied by substituting five
Years of Service for three Years of Service. The period during which the
election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted or
deemed to be made and shall end on the latest of:

        (i)       60 days after the amendment is adopted;

        (ii)      60 days after the amendment becomes effective;

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

The Plan Administrator shall determine appropriate procedures for the election
of a prior vesting schedule in accordance with Treas. Regs. Section 1.411(a)-8.
If other optional retirement benefits are changed by an amendment, the benefits
with respect to the benefits accrued to the date of the amendment shall not be
reduced for any Employee who at any time on or after the amendment satisfied the
pre-amendment condition for the benefit. If any benefits protected under Section
411(d)(6) of the Code are eliminated by an amendment, such protected benefits
will be preserved with respect to benefits accrued as of the later of the
adoption or effective date of the amendment.

SECTION 10.3      MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR TRANSFER OF TRUST FUND.

In the event that the Plan is merged or consolidated with, or the Trust Fund is
transferred or its liabilities assumed by, any other tax qualified pension
benefit plan, no Participant shall suffer any loss of benefits. The benefit
payable to each Participant if the Plan were terminated immediately before the
merger, consolidation or transfer shall be compared with the benefit payable if
the Plan were terminated immediately after the merger, consolidation or
transfer. In no event shall any benefit after the merger, consolidation or
transfer be less than the benefit before the merger, consolidation or transfer.

SECTION 10.4      TERMINATION.

If the Employer decides that it is not advisable to continue the Plan, it may,
by appropriate corporate resolution permanently terminate contributions to the
Plan. After the date specified in the resolution, no further contributions shall
be made and all 401(k) payroll deduction agreements shall immediately be void.
All of the other provisions of the Plan shall remain in force and the Trust Fund
shall be held, administered and distributed as provided in the Plan. At any time
after completely discontinuing contributions to the Plan, the Employer may
terminate the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in the case of that portion of
the Trust Fund constituting the 401(k) Accounts, the Trust Fund may not be
distributed if Employer establishes or maintains another defined contribution
plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Section
4975(e)(7) of the Code). The Administrator shall direct the Trustees to make
payment of the Accounts to the persons entitled thereto, after paying or
providing for the payment of all expenses and adjusting all Accounts to reflect
such payments. Except as provided in Section 12.4, the complete discontinuance
of contributions to the Plan or the termination of the Trust Fund shall not have
the effect of revesting in the Employer any part of the Trust Fund.

SECTION 10.5      VESTING UPON TERMINATION.

Upon termination or partial termination of the Plan or upon the complete
discontinuance of contributions to the Plan, the Accounts of each Participant
affected thereby shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable, notwithstanding any
other provision in the Plan to the contrary.

                        SECTION 11. TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

This Article 11 contains provisions for determining whether the Plan is a
Top-Heavy Plan in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and special vesting,
contribution and compensation requirements that will supersede any conflicting
provisions in the Plan if the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan in any Plan Year.

SECTION 11.1      DEFINITIONS.

The following words and phrases, as used in this Article 11, shall have the
following meanings, unless a different meaning is clearly required by the
context:

        (a)       "Aggregate Account" means the value of all accounts, including
the vested and nonvested portions thereof, of all defined contribution plans
(including any simplified employee pension plan) maintained by the Affiliated
Group on behalf of an Employee. An Employee's Aggregate Account as of any
Determination Date shall consist of the Employee's account balance as of the
most recent valuation of the Plan occurring within a 12-month period ending on
the Determination Date, credited for any contributions made after the
Determination Date but allocated as of the Determination Date, as adjusted by
the following:

                  (i)    Any distributions made to the Employee (or the
        Employee's Beneficiary) within the Plan Year that includes the
        Determination Date and within the four preceding Plan Years shall be
        included in the Employee's Aggregate Account;

                  (ii)   Amounts attributable to deductible employee
        contributions, as defined in Section 72(o)(5)(A) of the Code, shall not
        be included in the Employee's Aggregate Account;

                  (iii)  With respect to unrelated rollovers and plan-to-plan
        transfers (ones which are both initiated by the Employee and made from a
        plan maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by another
        employer), if this Plan provides the rollover or plan-to-plan transfer,
        the rollover or transfer shall be counted as a distribution for the
        purposes of Subsection 11.1(a)(i). In determining whether two employers
        are involved in a rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, all members of the
        Affiliated Group shall be deemed a single employer. Rollovers or
        plan-to-plan transfers shall not be considered as part of the Employee's
        Aggregate Account;

                  (iv)   With respect to related rollovers and plan-to-plan
        transfers (ones either not initiated by the Employee or made to a plan
        maintained by another member of the Affiliated Group), if this Plan
        provides the rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, it shall not be counted
        as a distribution for purposes of Subsection 11.1(a)(i). If this Plan is
        the plan accepting such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, it shall
        consider such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer as part of the
        Employee's Aggregate Account. This Section shall apply irrespective of
        the date on which such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer is accepted;
        and

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 43

<PAGE>

                  (v)    If an Employee has not performed any services for a
        member of the Affiliated Group at any time during the five-year period
        ending on the Determination Date, the value of all Accounts of the
        Employee shall not be included in the Employee's Aggregate Account.

        (b)       "Aggregation Group" means either a Required Aggregation Group
or a Permissive Aggregation Group.

        (c)       "Determination Date" means, with respect to any Plan Year:

                  (i)    The last day of the preceding Plan Year; or

                  (ii)   In the case of the first Plan Year, the last day of
        such Plan Year.

        (d)       "Key Employee" means any Employee or former Employee (and the
Beneficiaries of such Employee) who, at any time during the Plan Year containing
the Determination Date and the four preceding Plan Years was:

                  (i)    an officer of a member of the Affiliated Group if such
        individual's annual compensation exceeds 50 percent of the dollar
        limitation under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code;

                  (ii)   an owner (or a person considered an owner under Section
        318 of the Code) of one of the ten largest interests in a member of the
        Affiliated Group if such individual's annual compensation exceeds 100
        percent of the dollar limitation under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code;

                  (iii)  a 5-percent owner of a member of the Affiliated Group;
        or

                  (iv)   a 1-percent owner of a member of the Affiliated Group
        having an annual Compensation from the Affiliated Group for the Plan
        Year of more than $150,000.

        For purposes of this definition, annual compensation means compensation
        as defined in Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, but including amounts
        contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement
        which are excludible from the employee's gross income under Section 125,
        Section 402(e)(3), Section 402(h), or Section 403(b) of the Code.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the definition of Key Employee in Section
        416(i)(1) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder is hereby
        incorporated by reference and shall control if in conflict with the
        preceding definition of Key Employee.

        (e)       "Non-Key Employee" means any Employee (and such Employee's
Beneficiary) who is not a Key Employee.

        (f)       "Permissive Aggregation Group" includes:

                  (i)    Each Plan of the Affiliated Group in the Required
        Aggregation Group; and

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 44

<PAGE>

                  (ii)   One or more Plans of the Affiliated Group that are not
        part of the Required Aggregation Group, but so included at the election
        of the Employer; provided, however, the resulting Permissive Aggregation
        Group, taken as a whole, would satisfy the provisions of Sections
        401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

        (g)       "Required Aggregation Group" includes:

                  (i)    Each Plan of the Affiliated Group in which a Key
        Employee participates in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date
        or any of the four preceding Plan Years; and

                  (ii)   Each other Plan of the Affiliated Group which enables
        any Plan in which a Key Employee is a participant to meet the
        requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code during such
        period.

        (h)       "Top-Heavy Group" means an Aggregation Group in which, as of
the Determination Date, the sum of the Aggregate Accounts of Key Employees in
all plans included in the group exceeds 60 percent of the sum of the Aggregate
Accounts of all Employees in all such plans; provided, however, that the
Aggregate Accounts of any Non-Key Employee who was a Key Employee for any prior
Plan Year shall be disregarded in making the determination.

        (i)       "Top-Heavy Plan" means for any Plan Year beginning after
December 31, 1983, this Plan if any of the following conditions exist:

                  (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;

                  (ii)   If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group
        but not part of a Permissive Aggregation Group, and the Top-Heavy Ratio
        for the Required Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent; or

                  (iii)  If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group
        and part of a Permissive Aggregation Group, and the Top-Heavy Ratio for
        the Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent.

        (j)       "Top-Heavy Plan Year" means any Plan Year in which the Plan is
a Top-Heavy Plan.

        (k)       "Top-Heavy Ratio" means:

                  (i)    If the Affiliated Group maintains one or more defined
        contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plan), and
        the Affiliated Group has not maintained any defined benefit plan which
        during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date 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,

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 45

<PAGE>

        the numerator of which is the sum of the Account balances of all Key
        Employees as of the Determination Date (including any part of any
        Account balance distributed in the five-year period ending on the
        Determination Date), and the denominator of which is the sum of all
        Account balances (including any part of any Account balance distributed
        in the five-year period ending on the Determination Date), both computed
        in accordance with Section 416 of the Code 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 Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

                  (ii)   If the Affiliated Group maintains one or more defined
        contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plan), and
        the Affiliated Group maintains or has maintained one or more defined
        benefit plans which during the five-year period ending on the
        Determination Date 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, 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 plan or plans for all Participants as of the
        Determination Date, all determined in accordance with Section 416 of the
        Code and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under a
        defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the
        Top-Heavy Ratio are increased for any distribution of an accrued benefit
        made in the five-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 will be
        determined as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year that falls
        within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination
        Date, except as provided in Section 416 of the Code 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 who is
        not a Key Employee, but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or who
        has not been credited with at least one Hour of Service with the
        Affiliated Group at any time during the five-year period ending on the
        Determination Date will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy
        Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers and transfers
        are taken into account, will be made in accordance with Section 416 of
        the Code and the regulations thereunder. Deductible employee
        contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of computing
        the Top-Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans the value of account
        balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the
        Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.

The accrued benefit of a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be
determined under (A) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual
purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Affiliated Group, 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
rule of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.

SECTION 11.2      TOP-HEAVY PLAN REQUIREMENTS.

        11.2.1    For any Top-Heavy Plan Year and each Plan Year thereafter,
notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, each Participant's Accounts
shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

                       Years of Service         Vested Percentage
                       ----------------         -----------------
                         Less than 2                    0%
                              2                        20%
                              3                        40%
                              4                        60%
                              5                        80%
                          6 or more                   100%

The foregoing minimum vesting shall apply to all benefits within the meaning of
Section 411(a)(7) of the Code except those attributable to Employee
contributions, including benefits accrued before the effective date of Section
416 and benefits accrued before the Plan became top-heavy. Further, no decrease
in a Participant's nonforfeitable percentage may occur in the event the Plan's
status as top-heavy changes for any Plan Year. However, this Section does not
apply to the account balances of any Employee who does not have an Hour of
Service after the Plan has initially become top-heavy and such Employee's
account balance attributable to Employer contributions and forfeitures will be
determined without regard to this Section. If the vesting schedule under the
Plan shifts in or out of the above top-heavy schedule for any Plan Year because
of the Plan's top-heavy status, such shift is an amendment to the vesting
schedule and the election in Section 10.2 of the Plan applies.

        11.2.2    For any Top-Heavy Plan Year, the following minimum
contribution requirements shall apply:

                  (a)    Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Plan, the
        Employer's contribution rate for each Non-Key Employee shall be equal to
        not less than 3 percent of each Non-Key Employee's Compensation;
        provided, however, if the Employer's contribution rate for each Key
        Employee for such Top-Heavy Plan Year is less than 3 percent, the
        contribution rate for each Non-Key Employee shall be equal to the
        highest contribution rate for any Key Employee.

                  (b)    The Employer's contribution rate for an Employee is:
        (1) the sum of (A) the Employer's contributions made or required to be
        made (without regard to any waiver of the minimum funding requirement),
        (B) reallocated forfeitures on behalf of such Employee, and (C)
        contributions attributable to a wage reduction or similar arrangement;
        (2) divided by the Employee's Compensation. Contributions and benefits
        under Chapter 21, Title II of the Social Security Act shall be
        disregarded in determining a contribution rate. The contribution rate
        for an Employee shall be determined by aggregating all defined
        contribution plans and all wage reduction and similar arrangements, of
        the

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 47

<PAGE>

        Affiliated Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contribution rate
        for a Non-Key Employee shall be determined without regard to 401(k)
        contributions under this Plan or elective contributions under any other
        plan of the Affiliated Group.

                  (c)    The minimum contribution shall be allocated to the
        Accounts of all Non-Key Employees who are Participants and who have not
        separated from service at the end of the Plan Year, including Non-Key
        Employees who have:

                         (i)    Failed to complete 1,000 Hours of Service in the
                  Plan Year;

                         (ii)   Declined to make mandatory or elective
                  contributions (if any) to the Plan; or

                         (iii)  Failed to receive a contribution because the
                  individual's Compensation was less than a certain amount.

                  (d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum contribution
        pursuant to this Section 11.2.2 shall not apply in any Plan Year in
        which the Participant is eligible for benefits under this Plan or
        another plan of the Affiliated Group and the Participant receives a
        contribution not less than the contribution pursuant to this Section
        11.2, or accrues a benefit not less than the minimum benefit required
        pursuant to Section 416(c)(1) of the Code. A Participant who is eligible
        for benefits from this Plan and a Top Heavy defined benefit plan of the
        Affiliated Group shall receive the minimum benefit from the defined
        benefit plan and Section 11.2.2 shall not apply.

        11.2.3    The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall not apply to any
individual who severed employment with the Affiliated Group before a Top-Heavy
Plan Year, until such individual returns to employment with the Affiliated
Group.

SECTION 11.3      AGGREGATION OF PLANS.

        11.3.1    In the case of a Required Aggregation Group, each plan in the
group will be considered a Top-Heavy Plan if the Required Aggregation Group is a
Top-Heavy Group. No plan in the Required Aggregation Group will be considered a
Top-Heavy Plan if the Aggregation Group is not a Top-Heavy Group.

        11.3.2    In the case of a Permissive Aggregation Group, only a plan
that is part of the Required Aggregation Group will be considered a Top-Heavy
Plan if the Permissive Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group. A plan that is
not part of the Required Aggregation Group, but that has nonetheless been
aggregated as part of the Permissive Aggregation Group, will not be considered a
Top-Heavy Plan even if the Permissive Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group.

SECTION 11.4      SPECIAL LIMITATIONS.

"100 percent" shall be substituted for "125 percent" whenever 125 percent occurs
in the multiple plan limitations of Section 415 of the Code and (i) for each
year in which the Plan is a

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 48

<PAGE>

Top-Heavy Plan (as defined at Subsection 11.1(j)) unless the requirements of (a)
and (b) below are met with respect to the Plan:

        (a)       the Plan would not be a Top-Heavy Plan if "90 percent" were
substituted for "60 percent" each place it appears in Subsection 11.1(j); and

        (b)       the Plan and any other Plan in the Aggregation Group would not
meet the requirements of Section 11.2.2 if "4 percent" were substituted for "3
percent" whenever it occurs.

If the requirements of (a) and (b) are met, then "4 percent" shall be
substituted for "3 percent" wherever it occurs in Section 11.2.2.

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan - Page 49

                           SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 12.1      NONLIABILITY OF EMPLOYER.

All amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from
the Trust Fund, and the Employer assumes no liability or responsibility
therefor.

SECTION 12.2      INDEMNIFICATION.

To the extent that insurance coverage does not apply, the Employer shall
indemnify and defend the Board of Directors, officers and Employees of the
Employer, the Administrator and the Trustees from any liability, including costs
and attorney fees at trial or on appeal, arising in any manner in connection
with any action taken or not taken in the operation or administration of the
Plan or Trust Fund unless accompanied by willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud
in the performance of their duties, in which event, the indemnity provisions of
this sentence shall not apply in favor of those persons who participated in the
willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud. No assets of the Plan shall directly or
indirectly be used to indemnify such persons.

SECTION 12.3      EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT OF PARTICIPANTS.

Except as provided in Section 12.4, no part of the Trust Fund shall revert to
the Employer or be used for or diverted to purposes other than the exclusive
benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries.

SECTION 12.4      RETURN OF CONTRIBUTIONS.

        12.4.1    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if
a contribution is made by the Employer by a mistake of fact, the Trustees shall
return such contribution within one year after payment of the contribution, and
in such event no Participant shall have any interest in or to such contribution
whatsoever; provided that in all cases 401(k) contributions which are returned
to the Employer shall be paid to the Participant.

        12.4.2    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all
contributions are conditioned upon deductibility under Section 404 of the Code,
and to the extent any deduction is disallowed, the Trustees shall return the
disallowed portion of the contribution within one year after the disallowance of
the deduction, and in such event no Participant shall have any interest in or to
such contribution whatsoever; provided, however, that in all cases 401(k)
contributions which are returned to the Employer shall be paid to the
Participant.

        12.4.3    The amount which shall be returned under Sections 12.4.1 and
12.4.2 shall be the excess of the amount contributed over the amount that would
have been contributed had there not occurred a mistake of fact or a mistake in
determining the deductibility of the contribution. Earnings attributable to the
excess contribution may not be returned, but losses attributable thereto must
reduce the amount returned. If the return of the excess contribution would cause
the balance credited to the Accounts of any Participant to be reduced to less
than the balance which would have been credited to the Accounts had the excess
amount not been contributed, then the amount to be returned shall be limited so
as to avoid such reduction.
