	All amounts shown are for illustration purposes only.

5.2The portion of each Management Team member's Salary to be considered in determining each Management Team member's percentage share of the Equity Compensation Pool (column e) is determined by multiplying each Management Team member's Salary by the percentage shown in column d.  For example, in the case of the CEO in the Section 5.1 Table, the portion of the CEO's Salary to be considered is $400,000 (column c) multiplied by 85% (column d), which equals $340,000 (column e).

The percentage of the Equity Compensation Pool that each Management Team member is entitled to receive (column f) is determined by dividing that portion of each member's Salary shown in column e by the total of all Management Team members' Salaries to be considered (total - column e).  For example, the CEO in the Section 5.1 Table is entitled to receive is 29.8% of the Equity Compensation Pool (column f), determined by dividing $340,000 (column e) by $1,140,000 (total - column e).

6.Calculation of the Value of each Management Team Member's Equity Compensation. 

6.1The value of each Management Team member's equity compensation for a Determination Year shall be determined by multiplying each member's Percentage of Equity Compensation Pool (column b of the Section 6.1 Table) by the Value of Equity Compensation Pool in the Determination Year (column e of the Section 4.1 Table) for the level for ranges of achievement of ROE attained in the Prior Year (column b of the Section 4.1 Table).  Based on the amounts used for illustration in all of the tables, the following table shows the determination of amounts of equity compensation awarded to Management Team members if each of the levels is attained:

	From column f of the Section 5.1 Table. 

6.2For illustration purposes, assuming the level of performance for the Prior Year was Level B - 50% (column e), the value of the CEO's equity compensation for the Determination Year is $298,000, determined by multiplying $1,000,000 (column e of the Section 4.1 Table for achievement of level B) times 29.8% (column b in the Section 6.1).

7.Allocation of Equity Compensation Between Options and Restricted Stock.  During the first quarter of each year, the Board shall determine the percentage of  the Equity Compensation to be allocated to stock options and restricted stock.
 
8.Discretionary Equity Awards.  Nothing in this Plan shall restrict the Board from making discretionary awards of equity interests to members of the Management Team.Exhibit 10-A

              Limitations on
      Compensation – For any plan year beginning after
      December 31, 2001, the plan administrator shall take into

      increases in accordance with Code section 401(a)(17)(B) for plan
      years beginning on or after January 1, 2003) of any
      participant's annual compensation for determining all benefits provided
      under the plan.  If compensation for any prior determination
      period is taken into account in determining a participant's allocations
      for the current plan year, the compensation for such prior determination
      period is subject to the applicable annual compensation limit in effect
      for that prior period.  For any plan year beginning after
      December 31, 1993 but before January 1, 2002, the plan
      administrator shall take into account only the first $150,000 (or, for
      plan years beginning after December 31, 1994 but before
      January 1, 2002, such larger amount as the Commissioner of
      Internal Revenue may prescribe) of any participant's compensation for
      determining all benefits provided under the plan.  The
      compensation dollar limitation for a plan year shall be the limitation
      amount in effect on January 1 of the calendar year in which the plan
      year begins.  Annual compensation means compensation during the
      plan year or such other 12-consecutive-month period over which
      compensation is otherwise determined under the plan (the determination
      period for purposes of Section 1.2).  If the plan should
      determine compensation on a period of time that contains less than
      12 calendar months (such as for a short plan year), the annual
      compensation dollar limitation shall be an amount equal to the
      compensation dollar limitation for the plan year multiplied by the ratio
      obtained by dividing the number of full months in the period
      by 12.

              Compensation for
      Nondiscrimination Testing – For purposes of determining whether the
      plan discriminates in favor of highly compensated employees, compensation
      means compensation as defined in this Section 1.2, except that the
      employer will not give effect to any exclusion from compensation specified
      in Section 1.2(b).

            

    

     

    For this
purpose, compensation shall include compensation paid by the employer as defined
under Section 1.5(b).  Notwithstanding the above, the employer
may amend this plan to exclude from this nondiscrimination definition of
compensation any items of compensation excludable under Code section 414(s)
and the applicable Treasury regulations, provided such adjusted definition
conforms to the nondiscrimination requirements of those
regulations.

      with Section 5.5 – For purposes of conducting the actual
      deferral percentage test or the actual contribution percentage test,
      compensation means compensation as defined in Section 1.2(a) for the
      entire determination period.

      person employed by the employer, including an owner-employee or other
      self-employed individual (as defined in
      Section 1.4(a)(3)).  The term employee shall include any
      employee of the employer as defined in Section 1.5(b).  The
      term employee shall also include any leased employee deemed to be an
      employee of any such employer as provided in Code section 414(n) or
      (o) and as defined in
Section 1.4(a)(2).

              Leased Employee means an
      individual (who otherwise is not an employee of the employer) who,
      pursuant to a leasing agreement between the employer and any other person,
      has performed services for the employer (or for the employer and any
      persons related to the employer within the meaning of Code
      section 414(n)(6)) on a substantially full time basis for at least
      one year and such services are performed under the primary direction or
      control of the employer.  If a leased employee is treated as an
      employee by reason of this Section 1.4(a)(2), compensation from the
      leasing organization that is attributable to services performed for the
      employer shall be considered as compensation under the
      plan.  Contributions or benefits provided a leased employee by
      the leasing organization that are attributable to services performed for
      the employer shall be treated as provided by the
  employer.

    Safe
harbor plan exception – The plan shall not treat a leased employee as an
employee if the leasing organization covers the employee in a safe harbor plan
and, prior to application of this safe harbor plan exception, 20% or less of the
employer's nonhighly compensated employees are leased employees. A safe harbor
plan is a money purchase pension plan providing immediate participation, full
and immediate vesting, and a nonintegrated contribution formula equal to at
least 10% of the employee's compensation without regard to employment by the
leasing organization on a specified date. The safe harbor plan must determine
the 10% contribution on the basis of compensation as defined in Section
5.1(c)(2).

              Owner-Employee/Self-Employed

      partner (if the employer is a partnership) owning more than 10% of either
      the capital or profits interest of the
      partnership.  Self-employed individual means an individual who
      has earned income for the taxable year from the trade or business for
      which the plan is established, or who would have had earned income but for
      the fact that the trade or business had no net profits for the taxable
      year.

              (1)

            	
              was
      a more than 5% owner of the employer (applying the constructive ownership
      rules of Code section 318, and applying the principles of Code
      section 318, for an unincorporated entity) at any time during the
      current plan year or the look-back year;
or

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              for

              (A)

            	
              had
      compensation from the employer (as defined under Section 1.5(b)) in
      excess of $80,000 (as adjusted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
      pursuant to Code section 415(d), except that the base period shall be
      the calendar quarter ending September 30, 1996),
    and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              if
      the employer elects the application of this Subparagraph for such
      look-back year, was in the top-paid group of employees for such look-back
      year.  For this purpose, an employee is in the top-paid group of
      employees for any look-back year if such employee is in the group
      consisting of the top 20% of the employees when ranked on the basis of
      compensation paid during such look-back
year.

            

    

     

    The
look-back year is the twelve-month period immediately preceding the current plan
year.  The term highly compensated employee also includes any former
employee who separated from service (or has a deemed separation from service, as
determined under Treasury regulations) prior to the plan year, performs no
service for the employer during the plan year, and was a highly compensated
employee either for the separation plan year or any plan year ending on or after
his 55th birthday, based on the applicable rules in effect for such plan
year.

     

    For
purposes of determining who is a highly compensated employee under this
Section 1.4(b), compensation means compensation as defined in
Section 1.2(a) without regard to Section 1.2(b).

     

    The plan
administrator shall make the determination of who is a highly compensated
employee.

     

    This
Section 1.4(b) is effective for plan years beginning after
December 31, 1996, except that, in determining whether an employee is
a highly compensated employee in 1997, this provision shall be treated as having
been in effect for the last plan year beginning before
January 1, 1997.

      Employee means any employee who is not a highly compensated
      employee.

      becoming a party to this plan.  Another employer, whether or not
      it is affiliated with the sponsor employer, may adopt this plan to cover
      its employees by filing with the sponsor employer a written resolution
      adopting the plan, upon which the sponsor employer shall indicate its

    Section
1.10 – Service

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              Service means any period
      of time the employee is in the employ of the employer, including any
      period the employee is on an unpaid leave of absence authorized by the
      employer under a uniform, nondiscriminatory policy applicable to all
      employees.  Separation from service means that the employee no
      longer has an employment relationship with the
  employer.

              (1)

            	
              Hour of Service
      means:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              Each
      hour for which an employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the
      performance of duties for the employer.  These hours shall be
      credited to the employee for the computation period in which the duties
      are performed; and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              Each
      hour for which an employee is paid, or entitled to payment, by the
      employer on account of a period of time during which no duties are
      performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has
      terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including
      disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty, or leave of
      absence.  No more than 501 hours of service shall be
      credited under this Subparagraph (B) for any single continuous period
      (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation
      period).  An hour of service shall not be credited to an
      employee under this Subparagraph (B) if the employee is paid, or
      entitled to payment, under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of
      complying with applicable worker's compensation or unemployment
      compensation or disability insurance laws.  Hours under this
      Subparagraph (B) shall be calculated and credited pursuant to
      section 2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor Regulations that are
      incorporated herein by this reference;
and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (C)

            	
              Each
      hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either
      awarded or agreed to by the employer.  The same hours of service
      shall not be credited both under Subparagraph (A) or
      Subparagraph (B), as the case may be, and under this
      Subparagraph (C).  These hours shall be credited to the
      employee for the computation period or periods to which the award or
      agreement pertains rather than the computation period in which the award,
      agreement, or payment is made.

            

    

     

    Hours of
service shall be determined on the basis of actual hours for which an employee
is paid or entitled to payment.  The above provisions shall be
construed so as to resolve any ambiguities in favor of crediting employees with
hours of service.

     

    If, for
the purposes of the plan, an employee's records are maintained on other than an
hourly basis, the plan administrator, according to uniform rules applicable to a
class of employees, may apply the following equivalencies for the purpose of
crediting hours of service:

              Solely
      for purposes of determining whether a break in service for participation
      and vesting purposes has occurred in a computation period, an individual
      who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons shall receive
      credit for the hours of service that would otherwise have been credited to
      such individual but for such absence, or in any case in which such hours
      cannot be determined, 8 hours of service per day of such
      absence.  For purposes of this paragraph, an absence from work
      for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence (A) by reason of
      the pregnancy of the individual, (B) by reason of a birth of a child
      of the individual, (C) by reason of the placement of a child with the
      individual in connection with the adoption of such child by such
      individual, or (D) for purposes of caring for such child for a period
      beginning immediately following such birth or placement.  The
      hours of service credited under this paragraph shall be
      credited:  (A) in the computation period in which the
      absence begins if the crediting is necessary to prevent a break in service
      in that period, or (B) in all other cases, in the following
      computation period.  No more than 501 hours of service
      shall be credited under this paragraph for any single continuous period
      (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation
      period).

              Solely
      for purposes of determining whether a break in service for participation
      and vesting purposes has occurred in a computation period, an individual
      who is absent from work on unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave
      Act shall receive credit for the hours of service that would otherwise
      have been credited to such individual but for such absence, or in any case
      in which such hours cannot be determined, 8 hours of service per day
      of such absence.  Such an individual shall be treated as
      actively employed for the purposes of participation and eligibility for an
      allocation of any employer contribution that may be provided under this
      plan.  Notwithstanding the preceding, this paragraph shall not
      apply if the employer or the particular employee is not subject to the
      requirements of the Family and Medical Leave Act at the time of the
      absence.

      12-consecutive-month computation period during which the employee
      completes the required number of hours of service with the employer as
      specified in Sections 2.1 or 4.1.  No more than one
      year of service will be credited for any 12-consecutive-month period
      unless otherwise required by Sections 2.1(c)
      and 4.1(c).

              Predecessor Service – If
      the employer maintains the plan of a predecessor employer, service with
      such predecessor employer shall be treated as service for the
      employer.  If the employer does not maintain the plan of a

              Entry Date for All Other
      Purposes – An eligible employee shall participate in the plan for
      all purposes on the earlier of the March 31, June 30,
      September 30, or December 31 coinciding with or immediately
      following the date on which he has met the age and service requirements,

              If
      an employee who is not a member of the eligible class of employees becomes
      a member of the eligible class, such employee shall participate
      immediately, if he has satisfied the age and service requirements and
      would have otherwise previously become a
  participant.

            

    

     

    Section
2.3 – Termination of Participation

     

    A
participant shall continue to be an active participant of the plan so long as he
is a member of the eligible class of employees and he does not terminate
employment.  He shall become an inactive participant when he
terminates employment or ceases to be a member of the eligible class of
employees.  He shall cease participation completely upon the later of
his receipt of a total distribution of his nonforfeitable account balance(s)
under the plan or the forfeiture of the nonvested portion of the account
balance(s).

2.4 – Re-Participation or Re-Employment (Break in Service Rules)

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              Vested Participant – A
      former participant who had a nonforfeitable right to all or a portion of
      his account balance derived from employer contributions at the time of his
      termination from service shall become a participant immediately upon
      returning to the employ of the employer, if he is a member of the eligible
      class of employees.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (b)

            	
              Nonvested Participant or
      Employee – In the case of an employee who does not have any
      nonforfeitable right to his account balance derived from employer
      contributions at the time of his termination from service, years of
      service before a period of consecutive one-year breaks in service shall
      not be taken into account in computing eligibility service if the number
      of consecutive one-year breaks in service in such period equals or exceeds
      the greater of 5 or the aggregate number of years of service before
      such breaks in service.  Such aggregate number of years of
      service shall not include any years of service disregarded under the
      preceding sentence by reason of prior breaks in
  service.

            

    

     

    If an
employee's years of service before termination from service are disregarded
pursuant to the preceding paragraph, he shall be considered a new employee for
eligibility purposes.  If such employee's years of service before
termination from service may not be disregarded pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, he shall participate immediately upon returning to the employ of the
employer, if he is a member of the eligible class of employees and has otherwise
satisfied the age and service requirements of Section 2.2.

     

    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              Return to Eligible Class
      – If a participant becomes an inactive participant, because he is no
      longer a member of the eligible class of employees, but does not incur a
      break in service, such inactive participant shall become an active
      participant immediately upon returning to the eligible class of
      employees.  If such participant incurs a break in service,
      eligibility shall be determined under the re-participation rules in
      Section 2.4(a) and (b)
above.

              (a)

            	
              Maintenance of Participant
      Accounts – The plan administrator shall maintain separate accounts
      covering each participant under the plan as herein
      described.  Such accounts shall be increased by contributions,
      reallocation of forfeitures (if any), investment income, and market value
      appreciation of the fund.  They shall be decreased by market
      value depreciation of the fund, forfeiture of nonvested amounts, benefit
      payments, withdrawals, and
expenses.

              (1)

            	
              Amount of Contribution –
      For each plan year, the employer contribution to the plan shall be the
      amount that is determined under the provisions of this Article; provided,
      however, that the employer may not make a contribution to the plan for any
      plan year to the extent the contribution would exceed the participants'
      maximum permissible amounts under Code
      section 415.  Further, the employer contribution shall not
      exceed the maximum amount deductible under Code section 404, subject
      to the provisions for a nondeductible contribution without penalty as
      permitted under Code section 4972(c)(6).  For this purpose,
      effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2002,
      participant elective deferrals shall not be taken into account as provided
      under Code section 404(n).

    The
employer contributes to this plan on the conditions that its contribution is not
due to a mistake of fact and that the Internal Revenue Service will not disallow
the deduction for its contribution.  The trustee, upon written request
from the employer, shall return to the employer the amount of the employer's
contribution made due to a mistake of fact or the amount of the employer's
contribution disallowed as a deduction under Code section 404. The trustee
shall not return any portion of the employer's contribution under the provisions
of this paragraph more than one year after the earlier
of:  (A) The date on which the employer made the contribution due
to a mistake of fact; or (B) The time of disallowance of the contribution
as a deduction, and then, only to the extent of the disallowance.  The
trustee will not increase the amount of the employer contribution returnable
under this Section for any earnings attributable to the contribution, but the
trustee will decrease the employer contribution returnable for any losses
attributable to it. The trustee may require the employer to furnish whatever
evidence it deems necessary to confirm that the amount the employer has
requested be returned is properly returnable under ERISA.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Payment of Contribution
      – The employer shall make its contribution to the plan in cash within the
      time prescribed by the Code or applicable Treasury
      regulations.  Subject to the consent of the trustee, the
      employer may make its contribution in property rather than in cash,
      provided the contribution is discretionary and the property contributed is
      unencumbered.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              Allocation if More Than One
      Employer – If the employer consists of a sponsoring employer and
      one or more participating employers, the contribution made by each such
      entity shall be allocated to the accounts of the participants directly
      employed by the contributing employer.  If a participant is
      employed by more than one entity during the applicable period, each entity
      shall contribute with respect to the compensation earned by the
      participant while employed by that
entity.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              Limitations and
      Conditions – Notwithstanding the allocation procedures set forth in
      this Article, the allocations to participants' accounts shall be limited
      or modified to the extent required to comply with the provisions of
      Article V (limitations on allocations under Code section 415,
      top-heavy provisions under Code section 416, and related employer
      provisions under Code
section 414).

            

    

     

    In any
limitation year in which the allocation to one or more participants' accounts
would be in excess of the limitations on allocations under Code
section 415, the annual additions under this plan will be reduced to the
extent necessary to comply with such limitations first.  If any
further reduction is required in any limitation year commencing before
January 1, 2000, the annual additions or benefits under any other plan
that the employer sponsors will then be reduced with respect to such
participants.  If any further reduction is required in any limitation
year commencing on or after January 1, 2000, the annual additions
under any other defined contribution plan that the employer sponsors will then
be reduced with respect to such participants.

to a participant shall first be met by any allocation to the Qualified
Nonelective Contribution Account for the plan year.  Then, the
contributions and forfeitures allocable to the profit sharing account shall be
adjusted as necessary for compliance.  The total of the contributions
and forfeitures allocated to such account(s) of each participant shall not be
less than an amount equal to 3% of his compensation or the largest percentage of
elective deferral contribution, employer contribution, and forfeiture allocated
on behalf of any key employee for that year, whichever is less.

    Section
3.3 – Qualified Nonelective Contributions

     

    To the
extent the current year testing method is being used to satisfy the requirements
described in Section 5.5(b) and (c), the employer may make qualified
nonelective contributions on behalf of either the nonhighly compensated active
participants or all active participants that are sufficient to satisfy either
the actual deferral percentage test or the actual contribution percentage test,
or both, pursuant to regulations under the Code in lieu of distributing excess
contributions as provided in Section 5.5(b)(2) of the plan, or excess
aggregate contributions as provided in Section 5.5(c)(2) of the
plan.  The employer may elect to comply with the ADP test requirements
by making safe harbor nonelective contributions on behalf of all active
participants as described in Section 5.5(f).

    Qualified
nonelective contributions are contributions (other than profit sharing
contributions or employer matching contributions) that are made by the employer
and allocated to participants' qualified nonelective contribution accounts and
any forfeitures that are so applied that the participants may not elect to
receive in cash until distributed from the plan; that are nonforfeitable when
made; and that are distributable only in accordance with the distribution
provisions that are applicable to elective deferrals and qualified matching
contributions.  Safe harbor nonelective contributions shall be
allocated to a safe harbor sub-account of the qualified nonelective contribution
account and shall be held subject to the same rights and
restrictions.

              Amount of
      Contribution

            

    

     

    The
amount of such contributions for each plan year shall be an amount determined by
the employer, in its sole discretion, after the plan administrator has
determined the amount needed to satisfy the actual deferral percentage test or
the actual contribution percentage test, or both.

              (1)

            	
              Allocation
      of the qualified nonelective contribution shall be made to the group of
      eligible non-highly compensated employees that consists of half of all
      eligible non-highly compensated employees for the plan year determined by
      identifying the nonhighly compensated employee with the smallest amount of
      compensation and continuing in ascending order until half of all eligible
      non-highly compensated employees have been identified, subject to the
      further requirements of
  Section 5.5(b)(1)(A)(viii).

    The
top-heavy minimum benefit requirements shall be met as provided under
Section 3.2(c)(2) concerning profit sharing and qualified nonelective
contribution allocations.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              Compensation – For
      purposes of the allocation of the qualified nonelective contribution,
      compensation means compensation as defined in Section 1.2(a)
      and (b) (subject to the limitations of Section 1.2(c)) for the
      entire plan year, but limited to the employee's compensation for the
      portion of the plan year in which the employee actually is a member of the
      eligible class of employees as defined in
      Section 2.2.  However, for purposes of the top-heavy
      contribution, compensation means compensation as defined in
      Section 5.1(c)(2), subject to the limitations of
      Section 1.2(c).

            

    

     

    Section
3.4 – Employee 401(k) Elective Deferral Contributions

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              Amount of Contribution –
      The employer shall contribute each plan year on behalf of each active
      participant who elects salary deferral a sum equal to the amount that the
      participant has elected to defer under a salary reduction arrangement or
      under a cash or deferred arrangement.  The contribution shall be
      credited to the participant's employee 401(k) elective deferral
      account.

            

    

     

    A highly
compensated employee may not elect a salary reduction in excess of the
limitation established by board resolution.  Such limitation shall be
communicated to the highly compensated employees a reasonable time in advance of
the date as of which it is effective.  The plan administrator may
limit the amount of salary reduction or deferred compensation at any time, if he
determines that such limitation is necessary to meet the requirements for a
“qualified cash or deferred arrangement” under Code section 401(k) and
regulations issued pursuant thereto as set forth in
Section 5.5.

     

    Effective
for plan years beginning prior to 2009, the plan administrator shall calculate
the actual deferral percentage for the highly compensated employees using the
testing method as provided under the prior statement of the plan
document.

     

    Effective
for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the plan
administrator shall calculate the actual deferral percentage for the highly
compensated employees using the prior year testing method.

              (1)

            	
              Availability of Election
      – An active participant may effect a salary reduction agreement with the
      employer under which an employer contribution will be made to the plan on
      behalf of such participant only if he elects to reduce his compensation or
      to forgo an increase in his compensation.  The amount of salary
      deferral may range from 0% to 50% of
  compensation.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Election Procedures – A
      written notice of a participant’s salary reduction election shall be given
      to the employer and to the plan administrator upon such forms as may be
      provided by the plan administrator.  The written notice shall be
      given at least 10 days before March 31, June 30,
      September 30, or December 31 on which it is to be
      effective.  However, in no event shall such notice be given or
      be effective before the adoption of the employee 401(k) elective deferral
      contribution provision under the plan.  A participant electing
      salary reduction will be deemed to desire to continue at the same rate,
      unless he notifies the plan administrator at least 10 days before the
      applicable date of his desire to change the amount of salary
      reduction.  The revised election shall be effective on the
      applicable date.  A salary reduction may be discontinued at any
      time upon proper notice.  A participant who has declined or
      suspended salary reduction may elect salary reduction at a subsequent
      election date by written notification to the plan administrator in the
      manner and on the forms as provided under this paragraph.  The
      plan administrator and employer shall treat a salary reduction election as
      having been revoked by the participant upon his termination of employment
      or his ceasing to be a member of the eligible class of
      participants.

    A
participant who receives a distribution of elective deferrals after
December 31, 2001 on account of hardship shall be prohibited from
making elective deferrals and employee nondeductible contributions under this
and all other plans of the employer for 6 months after receipt of the
distribution.  A participant who receives a distribution of elective
deferrals in calendar year 2001 on account of hardship shall be prohibited from
making elective deferrals and employee nondeductible contributions under this
and all other plans of the employer for 12 months after receipt of the
distribution as previously provided under this plan.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              Compensation – For this
      purpose, compensation means compensation as defined in Section 1.2(a)
      and (b) (subject to the limitations of Section 1.2(c)), but
      excluding short term disability benefits not paid through the employer's
      payroll system.  The participant’s salary reduction election
      shall apply only to compensation that becomes currently available to the
      employee after the effective date of the election.  The employer
      shall apply the salary reduction election to all of the participant’s
      compensation (and to increases in compensation), unless the participant’s
      salary reduction election specifies that the election is to be limited to
      certain compensation.

              Catch-Up Contributions –
      Effective April 1, 2004, all employees who are eligible to make elective
      deferrals under this plan before the close of the plan year and who have
      attained age 50 or over by the end of their applicable taxable years
      shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and
      subject to the limitations of, Section 5.5(a)(2).  The
      employer-imposed limitations on the maximum amount of permissible salary
      deferral shall not apply.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              Cash or Deferred
      Election

            

    

     

    No
contribution shall be made under this plan pursuant to a cash or deferred
election.  All elective deferrals shall be made under a salary
deferral election.

     

    Section
3.5 – Employee Nondeductible Contributions

     

    Employee
nondeductible contributions are not permitted under this plan and no amount
shall be credited to the employee nondeductible contribution
account.

     

    Section
3.6 – Employer Matching Contributions

     

    Employer
matching contributions shall be made under the provisions of this
Section.  Such contributions shall be credited to the employer
matching contribution account or the qualified employer matching contribution
account, as applicable.

     

    With
respect to each interim allocation date, the employer shall contribute the
amount necessary to fund the employer matching contribution allocation for the
interim allocation period based on the eligible deferrals and participant
compensation for such period.

     

    Effective
for plan years beginning prior to 2009, the plan administrator shall calculate
the actual contribution percentage for the highly compensated employees using
the testing method as provided under the prior statement of the plan
document.

     

    Effective
for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the plan
administrator shall calculate the actual contribution percentage for the highly
compensated employees using the prior year testing method.

     

    
      	
            	
               (a)

            	
              Qualified Matching
      Contributions – The employer matching contribution shall not be
      treated as a qualified matching contribution.  A qualified
      matching contribution means matching contributions that are subject to the
      distribution and nonforfeitability requirements under Code
      section 401(k) when made.

              Conditions for
      Allocation – A participant shall be eligible for an allocation of
      an employer matching contribution as of an allocation date, provided that
      he satisfies the following
conditions:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              He
      made a contribution that is subject to matching during the current plan
      year.

            

    

     

    AND

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              He
      completed at least one hour of service during the current allocation
      period.

            

    

     

    
      AND

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              Effective
      for allocations made after March 31, 2004, he is not a highly compensated
      employee who has held the title of chairman, vice chairman, president, or
      vice president with respect to the employer as of any day in the plan year
      on or before the allocation date.

            

    

     

    Notwithstanding
the preceding requirements, any hours of service or employment requirement shall
not apply in any plan year for which the employer elects to comply with the ACP
safe harbor in years beginning after December 31, 1998.

     

    
      	
                     
      (d)

            	
              (1)

            	
              Allocation Formula – The
      employer matching contribution and any applicable forfeitures shall be
      equal to the employer matching percentage applied to the participant’s
      contributions for each allocation period within the current plan year that
      are subject to matching.

            

    

     

    The
employer matching percentage shall be equal to 25% of the amount contributed by
the participant; provided that a participant's contributions in excess of 4% of
his compensation shall be disregarded for purposes of allocating the employer
matching contributions for the allocation period.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Limitation on Total Matching
      Allocation – Notwithstanding the preceding allocation formula(s),
      an allocation shall not be made to an individual participant's account to
      the extent that when combined with any other employer matching
      contribution made to the participant's account for the plan year, it would
      exceed the greatest of:  (i) 5% of his compensation; (ii)
      his elective deferrals for the plan year; or (iii) the product of 2
      times the sum of the plan’s representative matching rate (as defined in
      Section 5.5(c)(1)(A)(ix)) plus the participant’s elective deferrals
      for the plan year.  Such an excess allocation shall be
      reallocated among the remaining eligible
  participants.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              Compensation – For
      purposes of the allocation of the employer matching contribution,
      compensation means compensation as defined in Section 1.2(a)
      and (b) (subject to the limitations of Section 1.2(c)) for the
      allocation period.  Compensation includable under
      Section 1.2(a) and (b) but not paid through payroll shall be
      treated as being paid as of the last day of the plan year or the last day
      of employment, if earlier.

            

    

     

    Short
term disability benefits not paid through the employer's payroll system shall
not be taken into account for this purpose.

     

    
      	
            	
              (e)

            	
              Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate
      Contributions

            

    

     

    Excess
aggregate contributions that are determined under the actual contribution
percentage test and that are attributed to employer matching contributions shall
be distributed to the extent vested with a proportional amount of the nonvested
employer matching contribution being forfeited as of the last day of the plan
year in which the excess arose.  Also, any forfeitures required for
compliance with Code section 401(a)(4) and Regulation
section 1.401(m)-2(b)(3)(v)(B) (because the contribution to which it
relates is treated as an excess deferral, excess contribution, or excess
aggregate contribution) shall occur as of such date.  The forfeitures
shall be treated in the manner described in Section 4.2(c)(2), except that
any reallocation shall be made only to the accounts of nonhighly compensated
employees.

              (a)

            	
              Rollover Contributions –
      An active participant may contribute to his rollover/transfer account any
      amounts that he previously received either as a lump sum distribution (as
      defined in Code section 402(e)(4)(D)) or within one taxable year as a
      distribution from another qualified plan on account of termination of that
      plan provided that:

    Before
accepting a rollover contribution, the trustee may require an employee to
furnish satisfactory evidence that the proposed transfer is in fact a “rollover
contribution” that the Code permits an employee to make to a qualified
plan.  Effective for requests received on or after
January 1, 2002, the acceptable sources for a rollover contribution

              Transfer Contributions –
      With the consent of the plan administrator, an active participant may have
      funds transferred directly to this plan from another qualified
      plan.  Consent shall not be given if the optional forms of
      payment to which the funds are subject under the prior plan are not
      properly disclosed by the prior plan or cannot be accommodated by this
      plan and trust.

            

    

     

    Further,
this plan shall not accept any direct or indirect transfers (in a transfer after
December 31, 1984) from a defined benefit plan, money purchase plan
(including a target benefit plan), stock bonus or profit sharing plan that would
otherwise have provided for a life annuity form of payment to the
participant.

     

    Effective
for requests received on or after January 1, 2002, with the consent of
the plan administrator, the participant may have the following transfers made on
his behalf directly to this plan (or may make the following rollover
contributions as permitted below):

              Contributions Before Plan Entry
      Date – An employee, (who is in the eligible class of employees)
      prior to satisfying the plan’s eligibility conditions, may make a rollover
      or transfer contribution to the plan to the same extent and in the same
      manner as a participant.  If an employee makes a rollover or
      transfer contribution to the plan before satisfying the plan's eligibility
      conditions, the plan administrator and trustee will treat the employee as
      a participant for all purposes of the plan, except the employee is not a
      participant for purposes of sharing in contributions or forfeitures under
      the plan until he actually becomes a participant in the
      plan.  If the employee has a separation from service prior to
      becoming a participant, the trustee will distribute his rollover/transfer
      account to him.

made available for the benefit of participants; provided, however, that in no
event may the participant direct that any portion of his account(s) be invested
in collectibles (as defined in Code section 408(m)).  A
participant's investment election shall not apply to any portion of any account
that may be invested in a participant loan sub-account established under
Section 4.4.  The investment results shall be allocated to the
participant's account(s) based upon earnings and losses on the participant's
share in such investment fund or funds.

     

    The terms
and conditions for investment direction shall be established by the plan
administrator.

     

    An
election may be revoked only by another election and will remain in effect until

    Section
4.1 – Vesting Service Rules

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              Vesting Year of Service
      means a vesting computation period during which the employee completes at
      least 1,000 hours of service with the employer.  All of an
      employee's years of service with the employer shall be counted to
      determine the nonforfeitable percentage in the employee's account
      balance(s) derived from employer contributions,
  except:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              Years
      of service disregarded under the break in service rules in
      Section 4.1(d) below.  (Post-ERISA break in service
      rules)

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Years
      of service before the effective date of ERISA if such service would have
      been disregarded under the break in service rules of the prior plan in
      effect from time to time before such date.  For this purpose,
      break in service rules are rules that result in the loss of prior vesting
      or benefit accruals, or that deny an employee eligibility to participate,
      by reason of separation or failure to complete a required period of
      service within a specified period of time.  (Pre-ERISA break in
      service rules)

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (b)

            	
              One Year Break in
      Service means for the purposes of this Article IV a vesting
      computation period during which the employee or former employee does not
      complete more than 500 hours of service with the
      employer.

      plan year.

              (1)

            	
              Vested Participant – A
      former participant who had a nonforfeitable right to all or a portion of
      his account balance(s) derived from employer contributions or who
      (effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006)
      had made an employee elective deferral contribution at the time of his
      termination from service shall retain credit for all vesting years of
      service prior to a break in service as that term is defined in
      Section 4.1(b).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Nonvested Participant or
      Employee – In the case of a former participant or employee who did
      not have any nonforfeitable right to his account balance(s) derived from
      employer contributions and who (effective for plan years beginning on or
      after January 1, 2006) had made no employee elective deferral
      contribution at the time of his termination from service, years of service
      before a period of consecutive one-year breaks in service shall not be
      taken into account in computing service if the number of consecutive
      one-year breaks in service in such period equals or exceeds the greater
      of 5 or the aggregate number of years of service before such breaks in service.  Such aggregate number of years of service shall not
      include any years of service disregarded under the preceding sentence by
      reason of prior breaks in service.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              Vesting for Pre-Break and
      Post-Break Accounts – In the case of a participant or employee who
      has five or more consecutive one-year breaks in service, all years of
      service after such breaks in service shall be disregarded for the purpose
      of vesting the employer-derived account balance(s) that accrued before
      such breaks in service.  Whether or not such pre-break service
      counts in vesting the post-break employer-derived account balance(s) shall
      be determined according to the rules set forth in Section 4.1(d)(1)
      and (2) above.  Separate accounts shall be maintained for each
      of the participant’s pre-break and post-break employer-derived account
      balance(s).  All accounts shall share in the investment earnings
      and losses of the fund.

              Normal Retirement – An
      employee's right to his account balance(s) shall be 100% vested and
      nonforfeitable upon the attainment of age 65, the normal retirement
      age.  The vesting of an inactive participant who terminates
      employment prior to normal retirement age shall remain subject to the
      provisions of the vesting schedule following attainment of such specified
      age.  Distributions shall be administered in accordance with
      termination from employment provisions of
      Section 4.3(a)(3).

              Late Retirement – If a
      participant remains employed after his normal retirement age, his account
      balance(s) shall remain 100% vested and nonforfeitable.  Such
      participant shall continue to receive allocations to his account as he did
      before his normal retirement age.

              Early Retirement – In
      the case of a participant who has attained age 60 and
      completed 7 years of service before his normal retirement age, the
      participant's right to his account balance(s) shall be 100% vested and
      nonforfeitable.  Such participant may retire before his normal
      retirement age without the consent of the employer and receive payment of
      benefits from the plan.  If a participant separates from service
      before satisfying the age requirement for early retirement, but has
      satisfied the service requirement, the participant shall be entitled to
      elect an early retirement benefit upon satisfaction of such age
      requirement.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              Disability – If a
      participant separates from service due to disability, such participant’s
      right to his account balance(s) as of his date of disability shall be 100%
      vested and nonforfeitable.  Disability means the participant has
      been determined by the Social Security Administration to be eligible for
      either full or partial Social Security disability
  benefits.

              (A)

            	
              Death – In the event of
      the death of a participant who has an accrued benefit under the plan,
      (whether or not he is an active participant), 100% of the participant’s
      account balance(s) as of the date of death shall be paid to his surviving
      spouse; except that, if there is no surviving spouse, or if the surviving
      spouse has already consented in a manner that is (or conforms to) a
      qualified election under the joint and survivor annuity provisions of Code
      section 417(a) and regulations issued pursuant thereto and as set
      forth in Section 5.2, then such balance(s) shall be paid to the
      participant's designated beneficiary.  The payment options
      available to the beneficiary shall be those payment options available to
      the participant under
Section 4.3(b).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              Beneficiary Designation
      – Subject to the spousal consent requirements of Section 5.2, the
      participant shall have the right to designate his beneficiaries, including
      a contingent death beneficiary, and shall have the right at any time prior
      to his death to change such beneficiaries. The designation shall be
      effective only if made in writing on a form signed by the participant and
      supplied by and filed with the plan administrator prior to his death. If
      the participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the designated
      person or persons predecease the participant, "beneficiary" shall mean:
      (a) the spouse, (b) if no surviving spouse, then to the surviving children
      in equal shares, (c) if no surviving children, then to the surviving
      parents in equal shares, (d) if no surviving parents, then to the
      surviving brothers and sisters in equal shares, (e) if no surviving
      brothers and sisters, then (f) to the participant’s estate if an estate is
      opened within 2 years of the participant’s death; and otherwise to a
      charity selected in the sole discretion of the plan
      administrator.

            

    

     

    If a
designated beneficiary dies after the participant has died but before the plan
has commenced or made distribution to the designated beneficiary, the plan shall
be administered as set forth in this paragraph. The death benefit will be paid
to the beneficiary’s designated beneficiary, if any designated prior to such
beneficiary’s death in connection with the beneficiary’s election of a form of
payment of the participant’s death benefit to which he is entitled; and if no
such designation is on file with the plan administrator, then to the
beneficiary's estate in a single lump sum payment if an estate is opened within
2 years of the participant’s death; and otherwise to a charity selected in the
sole discretion of the plan administrator.  If the deceased designated
beneficiary was not the participant's surviving spouse, distribution under this
paragraph will be completed by December 31 of the fifth year following the
participant's date of death.  If the deceased designated beneficiary
was the participant's surviving spouse, distribution under this paragraph will
be completed by December 31 of the fifth year following the beneficiary's date
of death.

    For
purposes of this Section 4.2(a)(5), if a spouse or beneficiary of the
participant dies simultaneously with the participant, the participant shall be
deemed to be the survivor and to have died subsequent to such spouse or
beneficiary.  Likewise, if a beneficiary named by a designated
beneficiary dies simultaneously with a designated beneficiary, the designated
beneficiary shall be deemed to be the survivor and to have died subsequent to
the beneficiary named by the designated beneficiary.

     

    If a
participant completes or has completed a beneficiary designation form in which
the participant designates his spouse as the beneficiary and the participant and
such spouse are legally divorced subsequent to the date of such designation;
then, the designation shall be administered as if such spouse had predeceased
the participant unless the participant, subsequent to the legal divorce,
reaffirms the designation by completing a new beneficiary designation
form.

              (A)

            	
              Cashout Distribution –
      If an employee terminates service and the value of his vested account
      balances derived from employer and employee contributions are not greater
      than $5,000, the employee shall receive a distribution of the value of the
      entire vested portion of such account balances and the nonvested portion
      will be treated as a forfeiture.  If an employee would have
      received a distribution under the preceding sentence but for the fact that
      the employee's vested account balance exceeded $5,000 when the employee
      terminated service and if at a later time such account balance is reduced
      such that it is not greater than $5,000, the employee will receive a
      distribution of such account balance and the nonvested portion will be
      treated as a forfeiture.  For purposes of this section, if the
      value of an employee's vested account balances is zero, he shall be deemed
      to have received a distribution of such vested account
      balances.  Effective for distributions made on or after
      March 22, 1999, for the purpose of determining the value of a
      participant's vested account balance, prior distributions shall be
      disregarded if distributions have not commenced under an optional form of
      payment described in
Section 4.3.

            

    

     

    If an
employee terminates service and elects, in accordance with the requirements of
Section 4.3, to receive the value of his vested account balances, the
nonvested portion shall be treated as a forfeiture as of the date of
distribution.  If the employee elects to have distributed less than
the entire vested portion of the account balances derived from employer
contributions, the part of the nonvested portion that will be treated as a
forfeiture is the total nonvested portion multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the amount of the distribution attributable to employer
contributions and the denominator of which is the total value of the vested
employer derived account balances.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              Restoration of Accounts
      – If an employee receives a cashout distribution pursuant to this section
      and resumes employment covered under this plan before he incurs five
      consecutive one-year breaks in service, his employer-derived account
      balances shall each be restored to the amount on the date of distribution,
      if he repays to the plan the full amount of the distribution attributable
      to employer contributions before the earlier of five years after the first
      date on which he is subsequently re-employed by the employer, or the date
      he incurs five consecutive one-year breaks in service following the date
      of the distribution.  If an employee is deemed to receive a
      distribution pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(2), and he resumes
      employment covered under this plan before he incurs five consecutive
      one-year breaks in service, upon the re-employment of such employee his
      employer-derived account balances will be restored to the amount on the
      date of such deemed distribution.

            

    

     

    Any
amount required to restore such forfeitures shall be deducted from forfeitures
(including forfeitures of excess aggregate contributions) occurring in the plan
year of restoration.  If forfeitures are insufficient for the
restoration, the employer may make a contribution to the plan for such plan year
to satisfy the restoration.  However, by the end of the plan year
following the plan year of restoration, sufficient forfeitures or employer
contributions shall be credited to the account to satisfy the
restoration.

      in Section 3.2.

      the plan year in which such forfeitures
occur.

              Forfeiture – The plan
      does not require the trustee or the plan administrator to search for, or
      to ascertain the whereabouts of, any participant or
      beneficiary.  At the time the participant's or beneficiary's
      benefit becomes distributable under the plan, the plan administrator, by
      certified or registered mail addressed to his last known address of
      record, shall notify any participant or beneficiary that he is entitled to
      a distribution under this plan.  If the participant or
      beneficiary fails to claim his distributive share or make his whereabouts
      known in writing to the plan administrator within twelve months from the
      date of mailing of the notice, the plan administrator shall treat the
      participant's or beneficiary's unclaimed payable accrued benefit as
      forfeited and shall reallocate such forfeiture in accordance with
      Section 4.2(c).  A forfeiture under this paragraph shall
      occur at the end of the notice period or, if later, the earliest date
      applicable Treasury regulations would permit the
      forfeiture.  These forfeiture provisions apply solely to the
      participant’s or beneficiary’s accrued benefit derived from employer
      contributions.

              Restoration – If a
      participant or beneficiary who has incurred a forfeiture of his accrued
      benefit under the provisions of this Subsection makes a claim, at any
      time, for his forfeited accrued benefit, the plan administrator shall
      restore the participant's or beneficiary's forfeited accrued benefit to
      the same dollar amount as the dollar amount of the accrued benefit
      forfeited, unadjusted for any gains or losses occurring after the date of
      the forfeiture.  The plan administrator shall make the
      restoration during the plan year in which the participant or beneficiary
      makes the claim from forfeitures occurring in that plan
      year.  If forfeitures are insufficient for the restoration, the
      employer shall make a contribution to the plan to satisfy the
      restoration.  The plan administrator shall direct the trustee to
      distribute the participant's or beneficiary's restored accrued benefit to
      him not later than 60 days after the close of the plan year in which
      the plan administrator restores the forfeited accrued
    benefit.

      participant or beneficiary may elect to receive distribution of his
      account(s) as a lump sum benefit payment.  The participant or
      beneficiary shall file a written request for benefits with the plan
      administrator before payment will be made.  The lump sum benefit
      payment shall be made in cash from the fund.  However, if the
      vested accrued benefit is no more than $5,000, benefits shall
      automatically be paid in a lump sum in accordance with
      Section 4.3(d)(5).

            

    

     

    Effective
solely for distributions made before October 1, 2009, a participant
was permitted to elect installment payments over a period of years that meets
the Distribution Requirements of Section 5.3.  Installment
payments may be made in cash from the fund or by distribution of an annuity term
certain contract.

    If a
distribution is required under the Distribution Requirements of
Section 5.3, the participant fails to elect payment, and the vested balance
of the account(s) exceeds $5,000, the trustee shall pay the benefit in
installment payments that meet the requirements of Section 5.3 over the
joint life and last survivor expectancy of the participant and his designated
beneficiary.  If the vested balance of the account(s) does not exceed
$5,000, the trustee shall distribute the entire account balance in a lump
sum.

              All
      distributions due to be made under this plan shall be made on the basis of
      the amount to the credit of the participant as of the accounting date
      coincident with or immediately preceding the occurrence of the event
      calling for a distribution.

            

    

     

    Such
amount shall be adjusted with respect to the investment results attributable
thereto that accrue during the period following such accounting date until the
date of the actual distribution.

     

    If a
distributable event occurs after an allocation date and before allocations have
been made to the account of the participant, the distribution shall also include
the amounts allocable to the account as of such allocation date.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              If
      any person entitled to receive benefits hereunder is physically or
      mentally incapable of receiving or acknowledging receipt thereof, and if a
      legal guardian or power of attorney has been appointed for him, the plan
      administrator may direct the benefit payment to be made to such legal
      representative.  The plan administrator may cause benefits to be
      paid to any other individual recognized by the state law under which the
      plan trust has been established.

            

    

     

    In the
event a distribution is to be made to a minor beneficiary, then the plan
administrator may direct that such distribution be paid to the legal guardian,
or if none, to a parent of such beneficiary or a responsible adult with whom the
beneficiary maintains his residence, or to the custodian for such beneficiary
under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act or the Gift to Minors Act, if such is
permitted by the laws of the state in which said beneficiary
resides.  Such a payment to the legal guardian, custodian or parent of
a minor beneficiary shall fully discharge the trustee, employer, plan
administrator, and plan from further liability on account thereof.

      to all participants on a nondiscriminatory basis.  The plan may
      not retroactively reduce or eliminate optional forms of benefits and any
      other Code section 411(d)(6) protected benefits, except as provided
      in Regulation section 1.411(d)-4, Q&A-2(b) and in other relief
      granted statutorily or by the Commissioner of Internal
      Revenue.

      an installment distribution shall be debited from each of a participant's

for distributions made on or after January 1, 1993, notwithstanding
the optional forms of payment listed in Section 4.3(b), a distributee may

              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 Code section 401(a)(9), the portion of any
      distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without
      regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to
      employer securities); any hardship withdrawal made on or after
      January 1, 1999 from a participant's employee 401(k) elective
      deferral account before he has attained age 591⁄2; any hardship
      withdrawal made on or after January 1, 2002 from any account;

    Effective
for distributions made on or after January 1, 2002, a portion of a
distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely
because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not
includable in gross income.  However, such portion may be transferred
only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code
section 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified defined contribution plan
described in Code section 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately
account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the
portion of such distribution that is includable in gross income and the portion
of such distribution that is not so includable.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Eligible Retirement Plan
      – An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account
      described in Code section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity
      described in Code section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code
      section 403(a), or a qualified plan described in Code
      section 401(a), that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover
      distribution.  Effective for distributions made on or after
      January 1, 2002, an eligible retirement plan shall also mean an
      annuity contract described in Code section 403(b) or an eligible plan
      under Code section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political
      subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or
      political subdivision of a state and that agrees to separately account for
      amounts transferred into such plan from this plan.  The
      definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a
      distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is
      the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined
      in Code section 414(p).  However, effective for
      distributions made on or after January 1, 1993 and before
      January 1, 2002, in the case of an eligible rollover
      distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is
      limited to an individual retirement account or individual retirement
      annuity.

            

    

     

    If any
portion of an eligible rollover distribution is attributable to payments or
distributions from a designated Roth account, an eligible retirement plan with
respect to such portion shall include only a designated Roth account in a
qualified defined contribution plan described in Code section 401(a) or a
Roth IRA as defined in Code section 402A(c)(3)(A).

              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
      Code section 414(p), are distributees with regard to the interest of
      the spouse or former spouse.

              Direct Rollover – A
      direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the eligible retirement plan
      specified by the distributee.

              Automatic Rollovers – In
      the event of a mandatory distribution greater than $1,000 in
      accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(b)(2)(A), if the
      participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an
      eligible retirement plan specified by the participant in a direct rollover
      or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with
      Section 4.3(e), then the plan administrator shall pay the
      distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan
      designated by the plan administrator.  For purposes of
      determining whether a mandatory distribution is greater than $1,000,
      the portion of the participant’s distribution attributable to any rollover
      contribution shall be included.

      Procedures

            

    

     

    As
described in Section 5.2(c), an account balance in excess of $5,000 shall
not be immediately distributed without the consent of the
participant.  The participant shall receive the notice required under
Regulation section 1.411(a)-11(c) no less than 30 days and no more
than 90 days before the annuity starting date with respect to the
distribution.  Effective for distributions made on or after
January 1, 1993, for any distribution in excess of $200, the plan
administrator shall give the participant notice of his eligible rollover
distribution rights.  The participant shall receive such notice in the
same time period as the 411 notice is required to be
provided.  Effective for distributions made on or after
January 1, 1994, if a distribution is one to which Code
sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply, such distribution may
commence less than 30 days after the 411 notice is given, provided
that:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              The
      plan administrator clearly informs the participant that the participant
      has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the
      notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution
      (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option),
  and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              The
      participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a
      distribution.

            

    

     

    The
provisions of this paragraph shall be effective for distributions made on or
after March 28, 2005.  In the event of a mandatory
distribution greater than $1,000 in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.2(b)(2)(A), if the participant does not elect to have such
distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the
participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly in
accordance with Section 4.3(d), then the plan administrator will pay the
distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by
the plan administrator.

    The plan
administrator shall approve requests on a nondiscriminatory basis.  No

employee shall not affect his participation in the plan, and such participant
shall continue to receive allocations to his account(s).

     

    Distribution After Attainment of
Normal Retirement Age – An employee may elect to receive payment of

accounts on a pro rata basis.

              Request for Withdrawal –
      The participant's request to withdraw must be made in writing to the plan
      administrator and shall be subject to his consent.  The basis
      for the plan administrator's consenting to or refusing to consent to the

      participant as described in Hardship
  Withdrawals.

            

    

     

    Hardship
Withdrawals

     

    For the
purpose of this Section 4.4, a distribution will be made on account of
hardship if the distribution is necessary in light of the immediate and heavy
financial need of the employee.  A distribution based upon financial
hardship cannot exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial need
created by the hardship and not reasonably available from other resources of the
participant.  The determination of the existence of financial hardship
and the amount required to be distributed to meet the need created by the
hardship must be made in accordance with uniform and non-discriminatory
standards established by the plan administrator under these plan
provisions.

     

    An
immediate and heavy financial need shall be deemed to exist if the distribution
is requested for one of the following reasons:  (1) expenses
incurred or necessary for medical care described in Code section 213(d) of
the employee, the employee's spouse, children, or
dependents;  (2) the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
principal residence for the employee; (3) payment of tuition and related
educational fees for the next twelve months of post-secondary education for the
employee, the employee's spouse, children or dependents; (4) payments
necessary to prevent the eviction of the employee from, or a foreclosure on the
mortgage of, the employee's principal residence; (5) payments for funeral
or burial expenses for the employee's deceased parent, spouse, child or
dependent; or (6) expenses incurred to repair damage to the employee's
principal residence that would qualify for a casualty loss deduction under Code
section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of
adjusted gross income).  The latter two reasons (funeral expenses and
home repair) shall only apply to plan years beginning after

      Weis
Markets, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan

      
        
          

        

      

    

     

    A
distribution will be considered as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy
financial need of the employee only if:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1.

            	
              The
      employee has obtained all distributions, other than hardship
      distributions, and all nontaxable loans under all plans maintained by the
      employer;

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2.

            	
              All
      plans maintained by the employer provide that the employee's elective
      deferrals (and employee nondeductible contributions) will be suspended for
      6 months (12 months, for hardship distributions
      before 2002) after the receipt of the hardship distribution;
      and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              3.

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

            

    

     

    In
addition, for hardship distributions before 2002, all plans maintained by
the employer were required to provide that the employee may not make elective
deferrals for the employee's taxable year immediately following the taxable year
of the hardship distribution in excess of the applicable limit under Code
section 402(g) for such taxable year less the amount of such employee's
elective deferrals for the taxable year of the hardship
distribution.

     

    Determination
of Vested Account Balance

     

    If a
withdrawal is made at a time when a participant has a nonforfeitable right to
less than the entire account balance derived from employer contributions and the
participant may increase his nonforfeitable percentage in his
account:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              A
      separate account will be established with respect to each of the
      participant's accounts that is subject to a vesting schedule that shall be
      credited with the participant's interest in such account as of the time of
      the distribution, and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              At
      any relevant time the participant's nonforfeitable portion of each such
      separate account will be equal to an amount (“X”) determined by the
      formula:

            

    

     

    X = P(AB
+ (R x D)) – (R x D)

     

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

     

    
      	
            	
              (b)

            	
              Participant
      Loans

            

    

     

    No
participant loans shall be permitted under this plan.

     

    Section
4.5 – Distributions Under Domestic Relations Orders

     

    Nothing
contained in this plan prevents the trustee, in accordance with the direction of
the plan administrator, from complying with the provisions of a qualified
domestic relations order (as defined in Code section 414(p)).

     

    A
distribution will not be made to an alternate payee until the participant
attains (or would have attained) his earliest retirement age.  For
this purpose, earliest retirement age means the earlier of:  (1) the
date on which the participant is entitled to a distribution under this plan; or
(2) the later of the date the participant attains age 50 or the earliest
date on which the participant could begin receiving benefits under this plan if
the participant separated from service.

     

    Nothing
in this Section gives a participant a right to receive distribution at a time
otherwise not permitted under the plan nor does it permit the alternate payee to
receive a form of payment not otherwise permitted under the plan.

     

    The plan
administrator shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the qualified
status of a domestic relations order.  Upon receiving a domestic
relations order, the plan administrator promptly will notify the participant and
any alternate payee named in the order, in writing, of the receipt of the order
and the plan's procedures for determining the qualified status of the
order.  Within a reasonable period of time after receiving the
domestic relations order, the plan administrator shall determine the qualified
status of the order and shall notify the participant and each alternate payee,
in writing, of its determination.  The plan administrator shall
provide notice under this paragraph by mailing to the individual's address
specified in the domestic relations order, or in a manner consistent with
Department of Labor regulations.

    If any
portion of the participant's nonforfeitable accrued benefit is payable during
the period the plan administrator is making its determination of the qualified
status of the domestic relations order, the plan administrator shall make a
separate accounting of the amounts payable.  If the plan administrator
determines the order is a qualified domestic relations order within
18 months of the date amounts first are payable following receipt of the
order, it shall direct the trustee to distribute the payable amounts in
accordance with the order.  If the plan administrator does not make
its determination of the qualified status of the order within the 18-month
determination period, it shall direct the trustee to distribute the payable
amounts in the manner the plan would distribute if the order did not exist and
shall apply the order prospectively if it later determines the order is a
qualified domestic relations order.

V – ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATION RULES

     

    Section
5.1 – Limitations on Allocations Under Code Section 415

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              Single Plan
      Limitations

            

    

     

    
      
        	
              	
                (1)

              	
                If
      the participant does not participate in, and has never participated in
      another qualified plan maintained by the employer, or a welfare benefit
      fund (as defined in Code section 419(e)) maintained by the employer,
      or an individual medical account (as defined in Code
      section 415(l)(2)) maintained by the employer, or a simplified
      employee pension (as defined in Code section 408(k)) maintained by
      the employer, that provides an annual addition as defined in
      Section 5.1(c)(1), the amount of annual additions that may be
      credited to the participant's account for any limitation year will not
      exceed the lesser of the maximum permissible amount or any other
      limitation contained in this plan.  If the employer contribution
      that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the participant's
      account would cause the annual additions for the limitation year to exceed
      the maximum permissible amount, the amount contributed or allocated will
      be reduced so that the annual additions for the limitation year will equal
      the maximum permissible
amount.

              

      

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Prior
      to determining the participant's actual compensation for the limitation
      year, the employer may determine the maximum permissible amount for a
      participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the participant's
      compensation for the limitation year, uniformly determined for all
      participants similarly situated.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              As
      soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the limitation year,
      the maximum permissible amount for the limitation year will be determined
      on the basis of the participant's actual compensation for the limitation
      year.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              If,
      pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(3) or as a result of either the allocation
      of forfeitures or a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective
      deferrals that may be made with respect to a participant, there is an
      excess amount, the excess will be disposed of as
  follows:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              Any
      employee nondeductible contributions (and any gain attributable thereto),
      to the extent they would reduce the excess amount, will be returned to the
      participant.  Effective for plan years beginning on or after
      January 1, 2006, the attributable gain allocable to the excess
      amount is the sum of:  (i) the income allocable to the
      participant's employee nondeductible contributions for the taxable year
      multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such participant's
      excess amount for the year and the denominator is the participant's
      account balance attributable to employee nondeductible contributions
      without regard to any income or loss occurring during such taxable year;
      and (ii) to the extent the excess contributions are or will be
      credited with gain or loss as of an accounting date within the gap period
      (i.e., the period after the close of the plan year and prior to the
      distribution),10% of the amount determined under (i) multiplied by
      the number of whole calendar months between the end of the participant's
      taxable year and the date of distribution, taking into account the month
      of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of such
      month.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              If
      after the application of Subparagraph (A) an excess amount still
      exists, any elective deferrals (and any gain attributable thereto
      determined in the same manner as for Section 5.1(a)(4)(A)), to the
      extent they would reduce the excess amount, will be distributed to the
      participant with any Roth elective deferrals being distributed prior to
      any other elective deferrals.

              If
      after the application of Subparagraph (B) an excess amount still
      exists, the excess amount shall be allocated and reallocated to the profit
      sharing account or qualified nonelective contribution account of the other
      participants in the plan to the extent permissible under the limitations
      of this Section 5.1.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (D)

            	
              If
      after the application of Subparagraph (C) an excess amount still
      exists, the excess amount will be held unallocated in a suspense
      account.  The suspense account will be applied to reduce future
      employer contributions for all active participants in the next limitation
      year, and each succeeding limitation year if
  necessary.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (E)

            	
              If
      a suspense account is in existence at any time during a limitation year
      pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(4), it will not participate in the
      allocation of the trust's investment gains and losses.  If a
      suspense account is in existence at any time during a particular
      limitation year, all amounts in the suspense account must be allocated and
      reallocated to participants' accounts before any employer, elective
      deferral, or employee nondeductible contributions may be made to the plan
      for that limitation year.  Excess amounts may not be distributed
      to participants or former
participants.

      Defined Contribution Plan

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              This
      Section 5.1(b) applies if, in addition to this plan, the participant
      is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by
      the employer, a welfare benefit fund maintained by the employer, an
      individual medical account maintained by the employer, or a simplified
      employee pension maintained by the employer, that provides an annual
      addition as defined in Section 5.1(c)(1), during any limitation
      year.  The annual additions that may be credited to a
      participant's account under this plan for any such limitation year will
      not exceed the maximum permissible amount reduced by the annual additions
      credited to a participant's account under the other qualified defined
      contribution plans, welfare benefit funds, individual medical accounts,
      and simplified employee pensions for the same limitation
      year.  If the annual additions with respect to the participant
      under other qualified defined contribution plans, welfare benefit funds,
      individual medical accounts, and simplified employee pensions maintained
      by the employer are less than the maximum permissible amount and the
      employer contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to
      the participant's account under this plan would cause the annual additions
      for the limitation year to exceed this limitation, the amount contributed
      or allocated will be reduced so that the annual additions under all such
      plans and funds for the limitation year will equal the maximum permissible
      amount.  If the annual additions with respect to the participant
      under such other qualified defined contribution plans, welfare benefit
      funds, individual medical accounts, and simplified employee pensions in
      the aggregate are equal to or greater than the maximum permissible amount,
      no amount will be contributed or allocated to the participant's account
      under this plan for the limitation
year.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Prior
      to determining the participant's actual compensation for the limitation
      year, the employer may determine the maximum permissible amount for a
      participant in the manner described in
    Section 5.1(a)(2).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              As
      soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the limitation year,
      the maximum permissible amount for the limitation year will be determined
      on the basis of the participant's actual compensation for the limitation
      year.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              If,
      pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(3) or as a result of the allocation of
      forfeitures, a participant's annual additions under this plan and such
      other plans would result in an excess amount for a limitation year, the
      excess amount will be deemed to consist of the annual additions last
      allocated, except that annual additions attributable to a simplified
      employee pension will be deemed to have been allocated first, followed by
      annual additions to a welfare benefit fund or individual medical account,
      regardless of the actual allocation
date.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (5)

            	
              If
      an excess amount was allocated to a participant on an allocation date of
      this plan that coincides with an allocation date of another plan, the
      excess amount will be disposed of in the manner provided in
      Section 3.1(c).

              (1)

            	
              Annual Additions – The
      sum of the following amounts credited to a participant's account for the
      limitation year:  (A) employer contributions;
      (B) employee contributions (excluding catch-up contributions made in
      accordance with Code section 414(v)); (C) forfeitures;
      (D) amounts allocated to an individual medical account (as defined in
      Code section 415(l)(2)), that is part of a pension or annuity plan
      maintained by the employer are treated as annual additions to a defined
      contribution plan; and (E) allocations under a simplified employee
      pension.  Also, amounts derived from contributions paid or
      accrued that are attributable to postretirement medical benefits allocated
      to the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code
      section 419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code

    For this
purpose, any excess amount applied under Section 5.1(a)(4) or (b)(6)
in the limitation year to increase the accounts of participants who did not have
an excess amount or to reduce employer contributions will be considered annual
additions for such limitation year.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Compensation – A
      participant's earned income and any earnings reportable as W-2 wages for
      federal income tax withholding purposes that are paid by the
      employer.  W-2 wages means wages as defined in Code
      section 3401(a) but determined without regard to any rules that limit
      the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the
      employment or the services performed (such as the exception for
      agricultural labor in Code
  section 3401(a)(2)).

            

    

     

    For
purposes of applying the limitations of this Section 5.1, compensation for
a limitation year is the compensation actually paid or includable in gross
income during such limitation year.

     

    In order
to be taken into account for a limitation year, compensation must be paid or
treated as paid prior to severance from employment with the
employer.  Further, compensation in excess of the limitations of
Section 1.2(c) shall not be taken into account.

     

    Compensation
shall include elective contributions as defined in Section 1.2(a) and
elective contributions under a Code section 501(c)(18)
plan.  Elective contribution amounts under a cafeteria plan excludable
under Code section 125 shall include any amounts not available to a
participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the participant is
unable to certify that he has other health coverage (deemed section 125
compensation).  An amount will be treated as an amount under Code
section 125 only if the employer does not request or collect information
regarding the participant's other health coverage as part of the enrollment
process for the health plan.

     

    Notwithstanding
the preceding, compensation for a participant in a defined contribution plan who
is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code section 22(e)(3))
is the compensation such participant would have received for the limitation year
if the participant had been paid at the rate of compensation paid immediately
before becoming permanently and totally disabled; such imputed compensation for
the disabled participant may be taken into account only if contributions made on
behalf of such participant are nonforfeitable when made.

              Defined Contribution Dollar
      Limitation – $40,000, as adjusted under Code section 415(d)
      for limitation years beginning after
      December 31, 2002.  The defined contribution dollar
      limitation is $30,000, as adjusted under Code section 415(d) for
      limitation years beginning before
    January 1, 2003.

              Employer – For purposes
      of this Section 5.1, employer shall mean the employer as defined in
      Section 1.5(b) but including all members of a controlled group of
      corporations as defined in Code section 414(b) as modified by Code
      section 415(h) and all commonly controlled trades or businesses as
      defined in Code section 414(c) as modified by Code
      section 415(h).

              Excess Amount – The
      excess of the participant's annual additions for the limitation year over
      the maximum permissible amount.

              Limitation Year – The
      12-consecutive-month period defined in Section 1.3(f).  All
      qualified defined contribution plans maintained by the employer must use
      the same limitation year.  If the limitation year is amended to
      a different 12-consecutive-month period, the new limitation year must
      begin on a date within the limitation year in which the amendment is
      made.

              Maximum Permissible
      Amount – For limitation years beginning before
      January 1, 2002, the maximum annual addition that may be
      contributed or allocated to a participant's account under the plan for any
      limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of:  (A) the
      applicable defined contribution dollar limitation, or (B) 25% of the
      participant's compensation for the limitation
  year.

            

    

     

    For
limitation years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, except to the
extent permitted under Section 3.4(b) and Code section 414(v), if
applicable, the maximum annual addition that may be contributed or allocated to
a participant's account under the plan for any limitation year shall not exceed
the lesser of:

compensation limitation referred to in (B) shall not apply to any contribution
for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code
section 401(h) or Code section 419A(f)(2)) that is otherwise treated
as an annual addition under Code section 415(l)(1)
or 419A(d)(2).

short limitation year is created because of an amendment changing the limitation
year to a different 12-consecutive-month period, the maximum permissible amount
will not exceed the defined contribution dollar limitation multiplied by the
following fraction:

    Section
5.2 – Joint and Survivor Annuity Requirements

     

    No
annuity form of payment is provided under Section 4.3(b) and no direct or
indirect transfer is accepted under Section 3.7 from a defined benefit
plan, money purchase pension plan (including a target benefit plan), stock bonus
or profit sharing plan that would otherwise have provided for a life annuity
form of payment to any participant; therefore, the joint and survivor annuity
requirements of Code section 401(a)(11) and 417 shall not apply to
this plan, except as provided in this Section 5.2.

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              Restrictions on Immediate
      Distributions – If the value of a participant's vested account
      balance derived from employer and employee contributions (1) in plan
      years beginning before January 1, 1998, exceeded $3,500 or
      (2) in plan years beginning after January 1, 1997, exceeds
      $5,000 and the account balance is immediately distributable, the
      participant (or where the participant has died, the participant's spouse)
      must consent to any distribution of such account
      balance.  Effective for distributions made on or after
      March 22, 1999, for the purpose of determining the value of a
      participant's vested account balance, prior distributions shall be
      disregarded if distributions have not commenced under an optional form of
      payment described in Section 4.3.  The consent of the
      participant (or the participant's surviving spouse) shall be obtained in
      writing within the 90-day period ending on the annuity starting
      date.  The annuity starting date is the first day of the first
      period for which an amount is paid in any form.  The plan
      administrator shall notify the participant (or the participant's surviving
      spouse) of the right to defer any distribution until the participant's
      account balance is no longer immediately distributable.  Such
      notification shall include a general description of the material features,
      and an explanation of the relative values of, the optional forms of
      benefit available under the plan in a manner that would satisfy the notice
      requirements of Code section 417(a)(3), and shall be provided no less
      than 30 days and no more than 90 days prior to the annuity
      starting date.  However, distribution may commence less than
      30 days after the notice described in the preceding sentence is
      given, provided the distribution is one to which Code
      sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply, the plan administrator
      clearly informs the participant that the participant has a right to a
      period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the
      decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a
      particular distribution option), and the participant, after receiving the
      notice, affirmatively elects a
distribution.

            

    

     

    Neither
the consent of the participant nor the participant's spouse shall be required to
the extent that a distribution is required to satisfy Code
section 401(a)(9) or section 415.  In addition, upon
termination of this plan if the plan does not offer an annuity option (purchased
from a commercial provider) and if the employer or any entity within the same
controlled group as the employer does not maintain another defined contribution
plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code
section 4975(e)(7)), the participant's account balance will, without the
participant's consent, be distributed to the participant.  However, if
any entity within the same controlled group as the employer maintains another
defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan), the
participant's account balance will be transferred, without the participant's
consent, to the other plan if the participant does not consent to an immediate
distribution.

     

    An
account balance is immediately distributable if any part of the account balance
could be distributed to the participant (or surviving spouse) before the
participant attains (or would have attained if not deceased) the later of normal
retirement age or age 62.

              Safe Harbor Rules – This
      Section 5.2(b) shall apply to a participant in this profit sharing
      plan, and to any distribution, made on or after the first day of the first
      plan year beginning after December 31, 1988, from or under a
      separate account attributable solely to accumulated deductible employee
      contributions, as defined in Code section 72(o)(5)(B), and maintained
      on behalf of a participant in a money purchase pension plan (including a
      target benefit plan).  This plan satisfies and shall continue to
      satisfy the following conditions:

    (1) the
participant cannot elect payments in the form of a life annuity; and (2) on
the death of a participant, the participant's vested account balance will be
paid to the participant's surviving spouse, but if there is no surviving spouse,
or if the surviving spouse has consented in a manner conforming to a qualified
election, then to the participant's designated beneficiary.  The
surviving spouse may elect to have distribution of the vested account balance
commence within the 90-day period following the date of the participant's
death.  The account balance shall be adjusted for gains or losses
occurring after the participant's death in accordance with the provisions of the
plan governing the adjustment of account balances for other types of
distributions.

              Qualified Election – A
      waiver of a qualified preretirement survivor annuity.  Any
      waiver of a qualified preretirement survivor annuity shall not be
      effective unless:  (a) the participant's spouse consents in
      writing to the election; (b) the election designates a specific
      beneficiary, including any class of beneficiaries or any contingent
      beneficiaries, that may not be changed without spousal consent (or the
      spouse expressly permits designations by the participant without any
      further spousal consent); (c) the spouse's consent acknowledges the
      effect of the election; and (d) the spouse's consent is witnessed by
      a plan representative or notary public.  If it is established to
      the satisfaction of a plan representative that there is no spouse or that
      the spouse cannot be located, a waiver will be deemed a qualified
      election.

            

    

     

    Any
consent by a spouse obtained under this provision (or establishment that the
consent of a spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to
such spouse.  A consent that permits designations by the participant
without any requirement of further consent by such spouse must acknowledge that
the spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific beneficiary, and a
specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the spouse voluntarily
elects to relinquish either or both of such rights.  A revocation of a
prior waiver may be made by a participant without the consent of the spouse at
any time before the commencement of benefits.  The number of
revocations shall not be limited.

      provided that a former spouse will be treated as the spouse or surviving
      spouse and a current spouse will not be treated as the spouse or surviving
      spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order

      from employer and employee contributions (including rollovers), whether
      vested before or upon death, including the proceeds of insurance
      contracts, if any, on the participant's life.  The provisions of
      this Section 5.2 shall apply to a participant who is vested in
      amounts attributable to employer contributions, employee contributions, or
      both at the time of death or
distribution.

            

    

     

    Section
5.3 – Distribution Requirements

     

    Subject
to Section 5.2 Joint and Survivor Annuity Requirements, the requirements of
this Section 5.3 shall apply to any distribution of a participant's
interest and will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of this
plan.

     

    With
respect to distributions under the plan made on or after
August 1, 2002 for calendar years beginning on or after
January 1, 2002, the plan will apply the minimum distribution
requirements as set forth in this Section 5.3.  Distributions
made prior to August 1, 2002 are subject to the provisions of the plan
as in effect before this amendment and restatement of the plan.  If
the total amount of required minimum distributions made to a participant
for 2002 prior to August 1, 2002 are equal to or greater than the
amount of required minimum distributions determined under this Section 5.3,
then no additional distributions are required for such participant for 2002
on or after such date.  If the total amount of required minimum
distributions made to a participant for 2002 prior to
August 1, 2002 are less than the amount determined under this
Section 5.3, then the amount of required minimum distributions
for 2002 on or after such date will be determined so that the total amount
of required minimum distributions for 2002 is the amount determined under
this Section 5.3.

      participant; or

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              a
      period certain not extending beyond the joint life and last survivor
      expectancy of the participant and a designated
  beneficiary.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              Death of Participant Before
      Distributions Begin – If the participant dies before distributions
      begin, the participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to
      be distributed, no later than as
follows:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              If
      the participant's surviving spouse is the participant's sole designated
      beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by
      December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar
      year in which the participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar
      year in which the participant would have attained age 701⁄2, if
      later.  If the surviving spouse so elects, the participant's
      entire interest will be distributed to such surviving spouse by
      December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of
      the participant's death.  If no election is received,
      distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of
      the calendar year in which the participant would have attained
      age 701⁄2, or the participant's entire interest will be distributed to
      such surviving spouse by December 31 of the calendar year containing
      the fifth anniversary of the participant's death, if
  later.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              If
      the participant's surviving spouse is not the participant's sole
      designated beneficiary, then distributions to the designated beneficiary
      will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following
      the calendar year in which the participant died.  If the
      designated beneficiary so elects or if no election is received, the
      participant's entire interest will be distributed to such designated
      beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth
      anniversary of the participant's
death.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              If
      there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
      following the year of the participant's death, the participant's entire
      interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year
      containing the fifth anniversary of the participant's
    death.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              If
      the participant's surviving spouse is the participant's sole designated
      beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the participant but before
      distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 5.3(c),
      other than Section 5.3(c)(1), will apply as if the surviving spouse
      were the participant.

            

    

     

    For
purposes of this Section 5.3(c) and Section 5.3(f), unless
Section 5.3(c)(4) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the
participant's required beginning date.  If Section 5.3(c)(4)
applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are
required to begin to the surviving spouse under
Section 5.3(c)(1).  If distributions under an annuity purchased
from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the participant before the
participant's required beginning date (or to the participant's surviving spouse
before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse
under Section 5.3(c)(1)), the date distributions are considered to begin is
the date distributions actually commence.

     

    
      	
            	
              (d)

            	
              Forms of Distribution –
      Unless the participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity
      purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the
      required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year
      distributions will be made in accordance with Subsection (2) and
      (3).  If the participant's interest is distributed in the form
      of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions
      thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code
      section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury
  regulations.

            

    

     

    To the
extent the participant has a Roth elective deferral account, an employee
nondeductible contribution account, or after-tax contributions of either type
for which there is separate accounting under his rollover/transfer account, such
funds shall be distributed in the order listed before any fully taxable
distribution is made to satisfy the minimum distribution
requirement.  After the exhaustion of such accounts, distributions
shall be debited from a participant's accounts to the extent funded in
accordance with the following order of preference:  rollover/transfer
account, qualified nonelective contribution account, profit sharing account,
employer matching contribution account, employee 401(k) elective deferral
account.

              (e)

            	
              Required Minimum Distributions
      During Participant's Lifetime – 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 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.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              Amount of Required Minimum
      Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year – During the
      participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for
      each distribution calendar year is the lesser
  of:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              The
      quotient obtained by dividing the participant's account balance by the
      distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Regulation
      section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the participant's age as of the
      participant's birthday in the distribution calendar year;
    or

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              If
      the participant's sole designated beneficiary for the distribution
      calendar year is the participant's spouse, the quotient obtained by
      dividing the participant's account balance by the number in the Joint and
      Last Survivor Table set forth in Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-9,
      using the participant's and spouse's attained ages as of the participant's
      and spouse's birthdays in the distribution calendar
  year.

              Lifetime Required Minimum
      Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant's Death –
      Required minimum distributions will be determined under this
      Section 5.3(e) beginning with the first distribution calendar year
      and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the
      participant's date of death.

              (1)

            	
              Death On or After Date
      Distributions Begin – If the participant dies after distribution of
      his 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.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              Participant Survived by
      Designated Beneficiary – If the participant dies on or after the
      date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the
      minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar
      year after the year of the participant's death is the quotient obtained by
      dividing the participant's account balance by the longer of the remaining
      life expectancy of the participant or the remaining life expectancy of the
      participant's designated beneficiary, determined as
    follows:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              The
      participant's remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the
      participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent
      year.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              If
      the participant's surviving spouse is the participant's sole designated
      beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is
      calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the
      participant's death using the surviving spouse's age as of the spouse's
      birthday in that year.  For distribution calendar years after
      the year of the surviving spouse's death, the remaining life expectancy of
      the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse
      as of the spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the spouse's death,
      reduced by one for each subsequent calendar
  year.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              If
      the participant's surviving spouse is not the participant's sole
      designated beneficiary, the designated beneficiary's remaining life
      expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year
      following the year of the participant's death, reduced by one for each
      subsequent year.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              No Designated
      Beneficiary – If the participant dies on or after the date
      distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of
      September 30 of the year after the year of the participant's death,
      the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar
      year after the year of the participant's death is the quotient obtained by
      dividing the participant's account balance by the participant's remaining
      life expectancy calculated using the age of the participant in the year of
      death, reduced by one for each subsequent
year.

              Participant Survived by
      Designated Beneficiary – If the participant dies before the date
      distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum
      amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after
      the year of the participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing
      the participant's account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the
      participant's designated beneficiary, determined as provided in

              No Designated
      Beneficiary – If the participant dies before the date distributions
      begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of
      the year following the year of the participant's death, distribution of
      the participant's entire interest will be completed by December 31 of

              Death of Surviving Spouse
      Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin – If
      the participant dies before the date distributions begin, the
      participant's surviving spouse is the participant's sole designated
      beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are
      required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 5.3(c), this
      Section 5.3(f)(2) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the

              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 that 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 5.3(c).  The required minimum distribution for the
      participant's first distribution calendar year will be made on or before
      the participant's required beginning date.  The required minimum
      distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required
      minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the
      participant's required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before
      December 31 of that distribution calendar
  year.

      (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions
      made and allocated 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.  The account balance for the valuation calendar
      year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the plan either in
      the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if
      distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar
  year.

            

    

     

    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.

December 31, 1995 and before January 1, 2003, the
participant shall be permitted to elect to commence the distribution of his
benefits as if his required beginning date were April 1 of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which he attains age 701⁄2.  If
an annuity form of payment is elected, the date as of which such distributions
commence shall be his annuity starting date for all purposes.  If an
installment form of payment is elected, the participant shall have a new annuity
starting date as of the date payments are elected to commence following his
termination of employment.

              5% Owner – The required
      beginning date for a participant who is a 5% owner is April 1 of
      the calendar year following the calendar year in which the participant
      attains age 701⁄2.  A participant is treated as a
      5% owner for purposes of this Section 5.3(g)(5) if such
      participant is a 5% owner as defined in Code section 416(i)
      (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 participant attains
      age 701⁄2.

              Once
      distributions have begun to a 5% owner under this
      Section 5.3(g)(5), they must continue to be distributed, even if the
      participant ceases to be a 5% owner in a subsequent

    Section
5.4 – Top-Heavy Provisions

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              Application of
      Provisions – If the plan is or becomes top-heavy in any plan year
      beginning after December 31, 1983, the provisions of
      Section 5.4 will supersede any conflicting provisions in the
      plan.

              Minimum
      Allocation

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              Except
      as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(b)(3) and (4) below, the
      employer contributions and forfeitures allocated on behalf of any
      participant who is not a key employee shall not be less than the lesser of
      3% of such participant's compensation or in the case where the employer
      has no defined benefit plan that designates this plan to satisfy Code
      section 401, the largest percentage of employer contributions and
      forfeitures, as a percentage of key employee's compensation that may be
      taken into account under Section 1.2(c), allocated on behalf of any
      key employee for that year.  For this purpose, amounts
      contributed to the key employee's elective deferral account(s) shall be
      included as allocations on his behalf for that year.  However,
      amounts contributed to a non-key employee's elective deferral account(s)
      shall not be taken into account in determining whether he has received his
      minimum allocation.  The minimum allocation is determined
      without regard to any Social Security contribution.  This
      minimum allocation shall be made even though, under other plan provisions,
      the participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation,
      or would have received a lesser allocation for the year because of
      (i) the participant's failure to complete 1,000 hours of service
      (or any equivalent provided in the plan), or (ii) the participant's
      failure to make mandatory employee contributions to the plan, or
      (iii) the participant's failure to make elective contributions to the
      plan, or (iv) compensation less than a stated
  amount.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              For
      purposes of computing the minimum allocation, compensation shall mean
      compensation as defined in Section 5.1(c)(2), subject to the
      limitations of Section 1.2(c).

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (3)

            	
              The
      provision in Section 5.4(b)(1) above shall not apply to any
      participant who was not employed by the employer on the last day of the
      plan year.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              The
      provision in Section 5.4(b)(1) above shall not apply to any
      participant to the extent the participant is covered under any other plan
      or plans of the employer and the employer has provided in Section 3.2
      or 3.3 that the minimum allocation or benefit requirement applicable
      to top-heavy plans will be met in the other plan or plans (including
      another plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement that
      meets the ADP safe harbor requirements and matching contributions with
      respect to which the ACP safe harbor requirements are met).  If
      this plan is intended to meet the minimum allocation or benefit
      requirement applicable to another plan or plans, the employer shall so
      provide in Section 3.2(c) or 3.3(b), as
    appropriate.

            

    

     

    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein and in Section 3.2(c) or 3.3(b), the
top-heavy requirements of Code section 416 and this Section 5.4 shall
not apply in any year beginning after December 31, 2001, in which the
plan consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement that meets the ADP safe
harbor requirements as set forth in Sections 3.4(a) and 5.5(f) and
matching contributions with respect to which the ACP safe harbor requirements
are met as set forth in Sections 3.6 and 5.5(f).

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (5)

            	
              The
      minimum allocation required (to the extent required to be nonforfeitable
      under Code section 416(b)) may not be forfeited under Code
      section 411(a)(3)(B) or
411(a)(3)(D).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (6)

            	
              Matching Contributions –
      Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes
      of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code
      section 416(c)(2) and the plan if so provided in Section 3.2(c)
      or 3.3(b).  The preceding sentence shall apply with respect
      to matching contributions under the plan or, if the plan provides that the
      minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other
      plan.  Employer matching contributions that are used to satisfy
      the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as matching
      contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and
      other requirements of Code
section 401(m).

              (c)

            	
              Adjustments in Code Section 415
      Limits – If the plan is top-heavy, the defined benefit fraction and
      the defined contribution fraction shall be computed by applying a factor
      of 1.0 (instead of 1.25) to the applicable dollar limits under Code
      section 415(b)(1)(A) and 415(c)(1)(A) for such year, unless the
      plan meets the following
conditions:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              Such
      plan would not be a top-heavy plan if “90%” were substituted for “60%” in
      the top-heavy tests; and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              The
      minimum employer contribution percentage under Section 5.4(b) is 4%
      instead of 3%.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              A
      non-key employee who participates in this plan and in a defined benefit
      plan aggregated herewith will receive in accordance with
      Section 3.2(c)(2) or Section 3.3(b) either (i) a minimum
      employer contribution of 7.5% under this plan or another defined
      contribution plan aggregated herewith or (ii) a minimum nonintegrated
      accrued benefit of 3% of average annual compensation, not to exceed a
      cumulative accrued benefit of 30% under the defined benefit
      plan.

            

    

     

    However,
the reduced Code section 415 factor of 1.0 shall not apply under a
top-heavy plan with respect to any individual so long as there are no employer
contributions, forfeitures, or voluntary employee nondeductible contributions
allocated to such individual.

     

    Effective
with respect to limitation years beginning after December 31, 1999,
this Section 5.4(c) shall no longer be in effect.

     

    
      	
            	
              (d)

            	
              Minimum Vesting Schedule
      – For any plan year in which this plan is top-heavy, the following minimum
      vesting schedule shall automatically apply to the
  plan:

                  	 	 	60	%

                  	 	 	80	%
	
                    6

                  	 	 	100	%

          

        

      

    

     

    The
minimum vesting schedule shall apply to all benefits within the meaning of Code
section 411(a)(7) except those attributable to employee contributions,
including benefits accrued before the effective date of Code 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 plans shifts in or out of the above schedule for any
plan year because of the plan's top-heavy status, such shift shall constitute an
amendment to the vesting schedule and the provisions of Section 7.2(d)
and (e) shall apply.

              Key Employee – In
      determining whether the plan is top-heavy for plan years beginning after
      December 31, 2001, key employee means any employee or former
      employee (and the beneficiaries of such employee) who at any time during
      the determination period is an officer of the employer if such
      individual's annual compensation exceeds $130,000 (as adjusted under Code
      section 416(i)(1) for plan years beginning after
      December 31, 2002), a 5% owner of the employer, or a
      1% owner of the employer who has an annual compensation of more than
      $150,000.  Annual compensation means compensation as defined in
      Section 5.1(c)(2), but including elective contributions as defined in
      Section 1.2(a) and elective contributions under a Code
      section 457 plan or a Code section 501(c)(18) plan for any plan
      year and subject to the limitations of Section 1.2(c).  The
      determination period is the plan year containing the determination
      date.  In determining whether an employee is a key employee in
      2002, this paragraph shall be treated as having been in effect for the
      last plan year beginning before
  January 1, 2002.

    In
determining whether a plan is top-heavy for plan years beginning before
January 1, 2002, key employee means any employee or former employee
(and the beneficiaries of such employee) who at any time during the
determination period was an officer of the employer if such individual's annual
compensation exceeded 50% of the dollar limitation under Code
section 415(b)(1)(A), an owner (or considered an owner under Code
section 318) of one of the ten largest interests in the employer if such
individual's compensation exceeded 100% of the dollar limitation under Code
section 415(c)(1)(A), a 5% owner of the employer, or a 1% owner
of the employer who had an annual compensation of more than
$150,000.  Annual compensation means compensation as defined in
Section 5.1(c)(2), but including elective contributions as defined in
Section 1.2(a) and elective contributions under a Code section 457
plan or a Code section 501(c)(18) plan for any plan year and subject to the
limitations of Section 1.2(c).  The determination period is the
plan year containing the determination date and the four preceding plan
years.

     

    The
determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with Code
section 416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of
general applicability issued thereunder.

      in determining whether the plan is top-heavy for plan years beginning
      before January 1, 2002) ending on the determination date(s) has
      or has had accrued benefits, the top-heavy ratio for this plan alone or
      for the required or permissive aggregation group as appropriate is a
      fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances of all
      key employees as of the determination date(s) including any part of any
      account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the
      determination date(s) (five-year period ending on the determination date

      the determination date(s) (five-year period ending on the determination
      date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance
      from employment, death or disability and in determining whether the plan
      is top-heavy for plan years beginning before January 1, 2002),
      both computed in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations
      thereunder.  Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy
      ratio are increased to reflect any contribution not actually made as of
      the determination date, but which is required to be taken into account on
      that date under Code section 416 and the regulations

              If
      the employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including
      any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and the employer maintains or has
      maintained one or more defined benefit plans that during the one-year
      period (five-year period in determining whether the plan is top-heavy for
      plan years beginning before January 1, 2002) ending on the
      determination date(s) has or has had any accrued benefits, the top-heavy
      ratio for any required or permissive aggregation group as appropriate is a
      fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances under the
      aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all key employees,
      determined in accordance with (A) above, and the present value of
      accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for
      all key employees as of the determination date(s), and the denominator of
      which is the sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined
      contribution plan or plans for all participants, determined in accordance
      with (A) above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the
      defined benefit plan or plans for all participants as of the determination
      date(s), all determined in accordance with Code section 416 and the
      regulations thereunder.  The accrued benefits under a defined
      benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio
      are increased for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the
      one-year period ending on the determination date (five-year period ending
      on the determination date in the case of a distribution made for a reason
      other than severance from employment, death or disability and in
      determining whether the plan is top-heavy for plan years beginning before
      January 1, 2002).

              For
      purposes of Section 5.4(e)(3)(A) and (B) above the value of
      account balances and the present value of accrued benefits will be
      determined as of the most recent valuation date that falls within or ends
      with the 12-month period ending on the determination date, except as
      provided in Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder for the
      first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan.  The
      account balances and accrued benefits of a participant (1) who is not
      a key employee but who was a key employee in a prior year, or (2) who
      has not been credited with at least one hour of service with any employer
      maintaining the plan at any time during the one-year period (five-year
      period in determining whether the plan is top-heavy for plan years
      beginning before January 1, 2002) 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 Code section 416
      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 (1) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes
under all defined benefit plans maintained by the employer, or (2) 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 Code
section 411(b)(1)(C).

     

    Catch-up
contributions with respect to the current plan year shall not be taken into
account; however, catch-up contributions for prior years shall be taken into
account.

  402(g)

              

      

    

     

    No
participant shall be permitted to have elective deferrals made under this plan,
or any other qualified plan, contract or arrangement maintained by the employer,
during any calendar year, in excess of the dollar limitation contained in Code
section 402(g) in effect for the participant's taxable year at the
beginning of such calendar year.  If Section 3.4 so provides, in
the case of a participant age 50 or over by the end of the taxable year,
the dollar limitation described in the preceding sentence shall include the
amount of elective deferrals that are permitted to be catch-up
contributions.  The dollar limitation contained in Code
section 402(g) is $10,500 for taxable years beginning in 2000 and 2001
increasing to $11,000 for taxable years beginning in 2002 and increasing
by $1,000 for each year thereafter up to $15,000 for taxable years
beginning in 2006 and later years.  After 2006, the
Secretary of the Treasury will adjust the $15,000 dollar limitation for
cost-of-living increases under Code section 402(g)(4).  Any such
adjustments will be in multiples of $500.

              Catch-up
      Contributions

            

    

     

    Catch-up
contributions means elective deferrals made to the plan that are in excess of an
otherwise applicable plan limit and that are made by participants who are
age 50 or over by the end of their taxable years.  An otherwise
applicable plan limit is a limit in the plan that applies to elective deferrals
without regard to catch-up contributions, such as any limitation set forth in
Section 3.4, the limits on annual additions described in Section 5.1,
the dollar limitation on elective deferrals under Code section 402(g) (not
taking into account catch-up contributions) and the limit imposed by the actual
deferral percentage (ADP) test under Section 5.5(b).  Catch-up
contributions for a participant for a taxable year may not exceed:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              the
      dollar limit on catch-up contributions under Code
      section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) for the taxable year;

              when
      added to other elective deferrals, 85% of the participant’s compensation
      for the taxable year.

            

    

     

    The
dollar limit on catch-up contributions under Code section 414(v)(2)(B)(i)
is $1,000 for taxable years beginning in 2002, increasing by $1,000 for each
year thereafter up to $5,000 for taxable years beginning in 2006 and later
years.  After 2006, the Secretary of the Treasury will adjust the
$5,000 limitation for cost-of-living increases under Code
section 414(v)(2)(C).  Any such adjustments will be in multiples
of $500.

     

    Catch-up
contributions shall not be:

              taken
      into account in determining the minimum allocation under
      Section 5.4(b); however, catch-up contributions made in prior years
      shall be taken into account in determining whether the plan is
      top-heavy.

            

    

     

    Provisions
in the plan relating to catch-up contributions apply to elective deferrals made
after December 31, 2001.

              Distribution of Excess Elective
      Deferrals

            

    

     

    A
participant may assign to this plan any excess elective deferrals made during a
taxable year of the participant by following the claim procedure set forth in
Section 5.5(a)(4).  Also, the employer may notify this plan on
behalf of a participant who has excess deferrals for the taxable year calculated
by taking into account only elective deferrals under the plans, contracts or
arrangements maintained by the employer.

     

    Notwithstanding
any other provision of the plan, excess elective deferrals, plus any income and
minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than
April 15 to any participant to whose account excess elective deferrals were
assigned for the preceding year and for whom excess elective deferrals have been
claimed for such taxable year or calendar year.

              Claims

            

    

     

    The
participant's claim shall be submitted in writing to the plan administrator no
later than March 1.  The participant shall specify the excess
deferral amount for the preceding calendar year and shall provide a written
statement that if such amounts are not distributed, such excess deferral amount,
when added to amounts deferred under other plans or arrangements described in
Code sections 401(k), 408(k), 457, or 403(b), exceeds the limit
imposed on the participant by Code section 402(g) for the year in which the
deferral occurred.

              (A)

            	
              Elective Deferrals shall
      mean any employer contributions made to the plan at the election of the
      participant, in lieu of cash compensation, and shall include contributions
      made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or other deferral
      mechanism.  With respect to any taxable year, a participant's
      elective deferral is the sum of all employer contributions made on behalf
      of such participant pursuant to an election to defer under any qualified
      cash or deferred arrangement as described in Code section 401(k), any
      salary reduction simplified employee pension described in
      section 408(k)(6), any SIMPLE IRA plan described in
      section 408(p), any plan as described under section 501(c)(18),
      and any employer contributions made on the behalf of a participant for the
      purchase of an annuity contract under section 403(b) pursuant to a
      salary reduction agreement.  Elective deferrals shall not
      include any deferrals properly distributed as excess annual
      additions.

              Excess Elective
      Deferrals shall mean those elective deferrals that
      either:  (i) are made during the participant's taxable year
      and exceed the dollar limitation under Section 5.5(a) (including, if
      applicable, the dollar limitation on catch-up contributions described in
      Section 5.5(a)(2)) for such year; or (ii) are made during a
      calendar year and exceed such dollar limitations for the participant's
      taxable year beginning in such calendar year, counting only elective
      deferrals made under this plan and any other plan, contract or arrangement
      maintained by the employer.  Excess elective deferrals shall be
      treated as annual additions under the plan, unless such amounts are
      distributed no later than the first April 15 following the close of
      the participant's taxable year.

    Excess
elective deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or loss.  The
income or loss allocable to excess elective deferrals is the income or loss
allocable to the participant's elective deferral account(s) for the taxable year
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such participant's excess
elective deferrals for the year and the denominator is the participant's account
balance attributable to elective deferrals without regard to any income or loss
occurring during such taxable year.

                  (1)      Actual Deferral Percentage
      Test

                

        

      

    

     

    Effective
for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1997, the actual
deferral percentage (hereinafter “ADP”) for a plan year for participants who are
highly compensated employees for the plan year and the prior year's ADP for
participants who were non-highly compensated employees for the prior plan year
must satisfy one of the following tests:  (i) The ADP for a plan
year for participants who are highly compensated employees for the plan year
shall not exceed the prior year's ADP for participants who were non-highly
compensated employees for the prior plan year multiplied by 1.25; or
(ii) The ADP for a plan year for participants who are highly compensated
employees for the plan year shall not exceed the prior year's ADP for
participants who were non-highly compensated employees for the prior plan year
multiplied by 2.0, provided that the ADP for participants who are highly
compensated employees does not exceed the ADP for participants who were
non-highly compensated employees in the prior plan year by more than two
(2) percentage points.

     

    In place
of the prior year testing method described above, if so elected by the employer
and adopted in Section 3.4(a), the ADP tests in (i) and (ii) will be
applied by comparing the current plan year's ADP for participants who are highly
compensated employees with the current plan year's ADP for participants who are
non-highly compensated employees.  In the alternative, the plan may
satisfy the ADP test requirements by meeting the ADP test safe harbor
requirements as described in Section 5.5(f).  Election of this
method shall be treated as an election to use the current year testing
method.  Once the current year testing method election has been made,
the employer can elect prior year testing for a plan year only if the plan has
used current year testing for each of the preceding 5 plan years (or if
lesser, the number of plan years the plan has been in existence) or if, as a
result of a merger or acquisition described in Code
section 410(b)(6)(c)(i), the employer maintains both a plan using prior
year testing and a plan using current year testing and the change is made within
the transition period described in
section 410(b)(6)(c)(ii).  Such elections shall be reflected in

              A

      he meets the definition of a highly compensated employee in effect for
      that plan year.  A participant is a non-highly compensated

      nonelective contributions or qualified matching contributions, or both, to
      the extent treated as elective deferrals for purposes of the ADP test)
      allocated to his accounts under two or more arrangements described in Code
      section 401(k), that are maintained by the employer, shall be
      determined as if such elective deferrals (and, to the extent taken into
      account, such qualified nonelective contributions or qualified matching
      contributions, or both) were made under a single
      arrangement.  If a highly compensated employee participates in
      two or more cash or deferred arrangements of the employer that have
      different plan years, all elective deferrals made during the plan year for
      this plan under all such arrangements shall be aggregated.  For
      plan years beginning before January 1, 2006, all elective
      deferrals made under all such cash or deferred arrangements ending with or
      within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single
      arrangement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans shall
      be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations
      under Code section 401(k).

              In
      the event that this plan satisfies the requirements of Code
      sections 401(k), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if aggregated with
      one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the
      requirements of such sections only if aggregated with this plan, then this
      Section 5.5(b)(1) shall be applied by determining the ADP of
      employees as if all such plans were a single plan.  If more than
      10% of the employer's non-highly compensated employees are involved in a
      plan coverage change as defined in Regulation
      section 1.401(k)-2(c)(4), then any adjustments to the nonhighly
      compensated employees' ADP for the prior year shall be made in accordance
      with such regulation, unless the employer has elected in
      Section 3.4(a) to use the current year testing method.  For
      plan years beginning after December 31, 1989, plans may be
      aggregated in order to satisfy Code section 401(k) only if they have
      the same plan year.  For plan years beginning after
      December 31, 1996, plans may be permissively aggregated in order
      to satisfy Code section 401(k) only if they use the same ADP testing
      method.

      plan is not a successor plan (as defined in Regulation
      section 1.401(k)-2(c)(2)(iii)), (B) this plan is not aggregated
      under Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4) for such plan year with any
      other plan that was or that included a Code section 401(k) plan in
      the prior year, and (C) the first plan year commences after
      December 31, 1996; then, in the case of the first plan year the
      plan permits any participant to make elective deferrals the amount treated
      as the ADP for participants who are non-highly compensated employees for
      the prior plan year shall be 3% or, if the employer so elects, the ADP for
      participants who are non-highly compensated employees as calculated for
      such first plan year.  Such election shall be set forth in
      Section 3.4(a).

              For
      purposes of determining the ADP test, elective deferrals, qualified
      nonelective contributions and qualified matching contributions must be
      made before the last day of the twelve-month period immediately following
      the plan year to which contributions relate.  An elective
      deferral shall be taken into account only if it relates to compensation
      that either (a) would have been received by the participant in the
      plan year but for the deferral election, or (b) is attributable to
      services performed by the participant in the plan year and would have been
      received by the participant within 21⁄2 months after the last day of
      the plan year but for the deferral
election.

            

    

     

    When the
prior year testing method is used, qualified nonelective contributions and
qualified matching contributions shall not be taken into account.

      satisfaction of the ADP test and the amount of qualified nonelective
      contributions or qualified matching contributions, or both, used in such
      test.

              When
      the current year testing method is used, qualified nonelective
      contributions may be taken into account as elective deferrals only to the
      extent needed to meet the ADP test.  Further, qualified matching
      contributions may be taken into account only to the extent such
      contributions are not needed to meet the average deferral percentage test
      unless it is the intention of the plan administrator to test all qualified
      nonelective and matching contributions under the ADP
  test.

                Effective
      for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, qualified
      nonelective contributions cannot be taken into account for a plan year for
      a non-highly compensated employee to the extent such contributions exceed
      the product of that non-highly compensated employee's compensation and the
      greater of 5% or two times the plan's representative contribution
      rate.  For this purpose, the plan's representative contribution
      rate is the lowest applicable contribution rate of any eligible non-highly
      compensated employee among a group of eligible non-highly compensated
      employees that consists of half of all eligible non-highly compensated
      employees for the plan year (or, if greater, the lowest applicable
      contribution rate of any eligible non-highly compensated employee in the
      group of all eligible non-highly compensated employees for the plan year
      and who is employed by the employer on the last day of the plan
      year).

    The
applicable contribution rate for an eligible non-highly compensated employee is
the sum of his qualified matching contributions taken into account under the ADP
test and his qualified nonelective contributions for the plan year, divided by
his compensation for the same period.  Notwithstanding the preceding,
qualified nonelective contributions that are made in connection with an
employer's obligation to pay prevailing wages under the Davis-Bacon Act can be
taken into account for a plan year for a non-highly compensated employee to the
extent such contributions do not exceed 10% of his compensation.

      limitations when testing changes from current year testing to prior year
      testing:  The ADP for the prior plan year shall be determined
      taking into account only:  (A) elective contributions for
      non-highly compensated employees that were taken into account for purposes
      of the ADP test in the prior plan year under the current plan year testing
      method and (B) qualified nonelective contributions not previously
      taken into account under either the ADP or ACP
  test.

              Actual Deferral
      Percentage (ADP) shall mean, for a specified group of participants
      (either highly compensated employees or non-highly compensated employees)
      for a plan year, the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each
      participant in such group) of (1) the amount of employer
      contributions actually paid over to the trust on behalf of such
      participant for the plan year to (2) the participant's compensation
      as defined in Section 1.2(e).  The actual deferral ratio of
      each participant and the actual deferral percentage of each group shall be
      calculated to the nearest hundredth of a percentage
      point.  Employer contributions on behalf of any participant
      shall include: (1) any elective deferrals (other than catch-up
      contributions) made pursuant to the participant's deferral election,
      including excess elective deferrals of highly compensated employees, but
      excluding (a) excess elective deferrals of nonhighly compensated
      employees that arise solely from elective deferrals to the extent the
      excess deferrals are prohibited under Code section 401(a)(30) due to
      the contributions made under this plan and without taking into account
      deferrals made under an unrelated employer's plan and (b) elective
      deferrals that are taken into account in the actual contribution
      percentage test (provided the ADP test is satisfied both with and without
      exclusion of these elective deferrals); and (2) at the election of
      the employer, qualified nonelective contributions and qualified matching
      contributions.  For purposes of computing actual deferral
      percentages, an employee who would be a participant but for the failure to
      make elective deferrals shall be treated as a participant on whose behalf
      no elective deferrals are made.  Amounts distributed under
      Section 5.1(a)(4)(B) shall not be included in the calculation of the
      ADP.

    Notwithstanding
any other provision of this plan, excess contributions, plus any income and
minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than the last
day of each plan year to participants to whose accounts such excess
contributions were allocated for the preceding plan year, except to the extent
such excess contributions are classified as catch-up
contributions.  If such excess amounts (other than catch-up
contributions) are distributed more than 21⁄2 months after the last day of
the plan year in which such excess amounts arose, a 10% excise tax will be
imposed on the employer maintaining the plan with respect to such
amounts.  Excess contributions shall be allocated to the highly
compensated employees with the largest amounts of contributions taken into
account in calculating the ADP test for the plan year in which the excess arose,
beginning with the highly compensated employee with the largest amount of such
contributions and continuing in descending order until all of the excess
contributions have been allocated.  To the extent a highly compensated
employee has not reached his catch-up contribution limit under the plan, excess
contributions allocated to such highly compensated employee shall be recognized
as catch-up contributions and will not be treated as excess
contributions.

     

    Excess
contributions shall be treated as annual additions under the plan even if
distributed.

    Section 401(m)

              

      

    

     

    Effective
for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1997, the actual
contribution percentage (hereinafter “ACP”) for a plan year for participants who
are highly compensated employees for the plan year and the prior year's ACP for
participants who were non-highly compensated employees for the prior plan year
must satisfy one of the following tests:  (i) The ACP for a plan
year for participants who are highly compensated employees for the plan year
shall not exceed the prior year's ACP for participants who were non-highly
compensated employees for the prior plan year multiplied by 1.25; or
(ii) The ACP for a plan year for participants who are highly compensated
employees for the plan year shall not exceed the prior year's ACP for
participants who were non-highly compensated employees for the prior plan year
multiplied by 2.0, provided that the ACP for participants who are highly
compensated employees does not exceed the ACP for participants who were
non-highly compensated employees in the prior plan year by more than two
(2) percentage points.

     

    In place
of the prior year testing method described above, if so elected by the employer
and adopted in Section 3.6, the ACP tests in (i) and (ii) will be
applied by comparing the current plan year's ACP for participants who are highly
compensated employees with the current plan year's ACP for participants who are
non-highly compensated employees.  In the alternative, the plan may
satisfy the ACP test requirements by meeting the safe harbor requirements of
Section 5.5(f)(3) and (4).  Election of this method shall be
treated as an election to use the current year testing method.  In
such a plan year, the current year testing method shall be used for the purpose
of testing any employee nondeductible contributions.  Once the current
year testing method election has been made, the employer can elect prior year
testing for a plan year only if the plan has used current year testing for each
of the preceding 5 plan years (or if lesser, the number of plan years the
plan has been in existence) or if, as a result of a merger or acquisition
described in Code section 410(b)(6)(c)(i), the employer maintains both a
plan using prior year testing and a plan using current year testing and the
change is made within the transition period described in
section 410(b)(6)(c)(ii).  Such elections shall be reflected in
Section 3.6.

              (ii)

            	
              Multiple
      Use:  If one or more highly compensated employees are
      subject to both the ADP test and the ACP test and the sum of the ADP and
      ACP of those highly compensated employees subject to either or both tests
      exceeds the aggregate limit, then for plan years beginning before
      January 1, 2002 either the ADP or the ACP of those highly
      compensated employees who are subject to both tests will be reduced (in
      accordance with Section 5.5(b)(2) or Section 5.5(c)(2), as
      applicable) so that the limit is not exceeded.  The plan
      administrator shall determine whether the ADP or the ACP for the plan will
      be reduced for the plan year.  The amount by which each highly
      compensated employee's percentage is reduced shall be treated as either an
      excess contribution or an excess aggregate contribution, as
      appropriate.  The ADP and ACP of the highly compensated
      employees are determined after any corrections required to meet the ADP
      and ACP tests and are deemed to be the maximum permitted under such tests
      for the plan year.  Multiple use does not occur if both the ADP
      and ACP of the highly compensated employees does not exceed 1.25
      multiplied by the ADP and ACP of the non-highly compensated
      employees.  Multiple use shall not occur if the ADP test is met
      by satisfying the ADP safe harbor requirements of Section 5.5(f)(2)
      or if the ACP test is met by satisfying the ACP safe harbor requirements
      of Section 5.5(f)(3), the plan administrator meets the notice
      requirements of Section 5.5(f)(4), and there are no employee
      nondeductible contributions under a plan sponsored by the
      employer.  Restrictions on multiple use do not apply for plan
      years beginning after
  December 31, 2001.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              For
      purposes of this Section 5.5(c)(1), the contribution percentage for
      any participant who is a highly compensated employee and who is eligible
      to have contribution percentage amounts allocated to his account under two
      or more plans described in Code section 401(a), or arrangements
      described in Code section 401(k) that are maintained by the employer,
      shall be determined as if the total of such contribution percentage
      amounts were made under each plan and arrangement.  If a highly
      compensated employee participates in two or more such plans or cash or
      deferred arrangements that have different plan years, all contribution
      percentage amounts made during the plan year for this plan under all such
      plans and arrangements shall be aggregated.  For plan years
      beginning before January 1, 2006, all such plans and cash or
      deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall
      be treated as a single arrangement.  Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if mandatorily
      disaggregated under regulations under Code
      section 401(m).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iv)

            	
              In
      the event that this plan satisfies the requirements of Code
      sections 401(m), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with one
      or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the
      requirements of such sections only if aggregated with this plan, then this
      Section 5.5(c)(1) shall be applied by determining the ACP of
      employees as if all such plans were a single plan.  If more than
      10% of the employer's non-highly compensated employees are involved in a
      plan coverage change as defined in Regulation
      section 1.401(m)-2(c)(4), then any adjustments to the nonhighly
      compensated employee ACP for the prior year shall be made in accordance
      with such regulation, unless the employer has elected in Section 3.6
      to use the current year testing method.  For plan years
      beginning after December 31, 1989, plans may be aggregated in
      order to satisfy Code section 401(m) only if they have the same plan
      year.  For plan years beginning after
      December 31, 1996, plans may be permissively aggregated in order
      to satisfy Code section 401(m) only if they use the same ACP testing
      method.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (v)

            	
              If:  (A) this
      plan is not a successor plan (as defined in Regulation
      section 1.401(m)-2(c)(2)(iii)), (B) this plan is not aggregated
      under Regulation section 1.401(m)-1(b)(4) for such plan year with any
      other plan that was or that included a Code section 401(m) plan in
      the prior year, and (C) the first plan year commences after
      December 31, 1996; then, in the case of the first plan year this
      plan permits any participant to make employee contributions, provides for
      matching contributions or both the amount treated as the ACP for
      participants who are non-highly compensated employees for the prior plan
      year shall be 3% or, if the employer so elects, the ACP for participants
      who are non-highly compensated employees as calculated for such first plan
      year.  Such election shall be set forth in
      Section 3.6.

              For
      purposes of determining the ACP test, employee contributions are
      considered to have been made in the plan year in which contributed to the
      trust.  Matching contributions and qualified nonelective
      contributions will be considered made for a plan year if made no later
      than the end of the twelve-month period beginning on the day after the
      close of the plan year.

            

    

     

    When the
prior year testing method is used, qualified nonelective contributions shall not
be taken into account.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (vii)

            	
              The
      plan administrator shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate
      satisfaction of the ACP test and the amount of qualified nonelective
      contributions or qualified matching contributions, or both, used in such
      test.

            

    

     

    
      
        	
              	
                (viii)

              	
                Elective
      deferral contributions may be taken into account; however, the ADP test
      shall be met before any elective deferrals are used in the ACP test and
      the elective deferrals needed to meet the ADP test shall not be used to
      meet the ACP test.  When the current year testing method is
      used, qualified nonelective contributions shall be taken into account to
      the extent such contributions are not used to meet the ADP
      test.

                Effective
      for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, a matching
      contribution with respect to an elective deferral for a non-highly
      compensated employee shall not be taken into account under the ACP test to
      the extent it exceeds the greatest of:  (A) 5% of
      compensation; (B) the employee's elective deferrals for a year; and
      (C) the product of 2 times the plan's representative matching rate
      and the employee's elective deferrals for a year.  For this
      purpose, the plan's representative matching rate is the lowest matching
      rate for any eligible non-highly compensated employee among a group of
      non-highly compensated employees that consists of half of all eligible
      non-highly compensated employees in the plan for the plan year who make
      elective deferrals for the plan year (or, if greater, the lowest matching
      rate for all eligible non-highly compensated employees in the plan who are
      employed by the employer on the last day of the plan year and who make
      elective deferrals for the plan
year).

              

      

    

     

    The
matching rate for an employee generally is the matching contributions made for
such employee divided by his elective deferrals (and employee nondeductible
contributions) for the year.  If the matching rate is not the same for
all levels of his elective deferrals (and employee nondeductible contributions),
the employee's matching rate is determined assuming that his elective deferrals
are equal to 6% of compensation.

      taking into account only:  (A) employee contributions for
      non-highly compensated employees made for the prior plan year,
      (B) matching contributions for non-highly compensated employees that
      were taken into account for purposes of the ACP test in the prior plan
      year under the current plan year testing method, and (C) qualified
      nonelective contributions not previously taken into account under either
      the ADP or ACP test.

      compensated employees for the prior plan year or the ACP of nonhighly
      compensated employees under the plan subject to Code section 401(m)
      for the plan year beginning with or within the prior plan year of the
      401(k) plan and (ii) the lesser of 200% or two plus the lesser of
      such ADP or ACP.  “Lesser” is substituted for “greater”
      in (i) above, and “greater” is substituted for “lesser” after “two
      plus the” in (ii) if it would result in a larger aggregate
      limit.  If the employer has elected the use of the current year
      testing method, then, in calculating the aggregate limit for a particular
      plan year, the nonhighly compensated employees' ADP and ACP for that plan
      year is used in place of the ADP and ACP for the prior plan
      year.

      Amounts shall mean the sum of the employee nondeductible
      contributions, employer matching contributions and elective deferrals (to
      the extent not taken into account for purposes of the ADP test) made under
      the plan on behalf of the participant for the plan year.  Such
      contribution percentage amounts shall not include matching contributions
      that are forfeited either to correct excess aggregate contributions or
      because the contributions to which they relate are excess deferrals,
      excess contributions, or excess aggregate
      contributions.  Qualified nonelective contributions may be
      included in the contribution percentage amounts.  Elective
      deferrals may also be used in calculating the contribution percentage
      amounts so long as the ADP test is met before the elective deferrals are
      used in the ACP test and the ADP test continues to be met following the
      exclusion of those elective deferrals that are used to meet the ACP
      test.  The contribution percentage amounts shall be calculated
      to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point.  Amounts
      distributed under Section 5.1(a)(4)(A) and (B) shall not be
      included in the calculation.

      contribution, or an elective deferral (if the employer takes such
      contributions into account in the calculation of the contribution
      percentage), or to receive an employer matching contribution (including
      forfeitures).  If an employee nondeductible contribution is
      required as a condition of participation in the plan, any employee who
      would be a participant in the plan if such employee made such a
      contribution shall be treated as an eligible participant on behalf of whom
      no employee contributions are made.

      Contribution (or employee contribution) shall mean any contribution
      made under Section 3.5 to the plan by or on behalf of a participant
      that is included in the participant's gross income in the year in which
      made and that is maintained under a separate account to which earnings and

      contribution plan on behalf of a participant on account of an employee
      nondeductible contribution made by such participant, or on account of a
      participant's elective deferral, under a plan maintained by the

      Aggregate Contributions

            

    

     

    Notwithstanding
any other provision of this plan, excess aggregate contributions, plus any
income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be forfeited, if forfeitable,
or if not forfeitable, distributed no later than the last day of each plan year
to participants to whose accounts such excess aggregate contributions were
allocated for the preceding plan year.  Excess aggregate contributions
shall be allocated to the highly compensated employees with the largest
contribution dollar amounts taken into account in calculating the ACP test for
the plan year in which the excess arose, beginning with the highly compensated
employee with the largest dollar amount of such contributions and continuing in
descending order until all of the excess aggregate contributions have been
allocated.  If such excess aggregate contributions are distributed
more than 21⁄2 months after the last day of the plan year in which such
excess amounts arose, a 10% excise tax will be imposed on the employer
maintaining the plan with respect to those amounts.  Excess aggregate
contributions shall be treated as annual additions under the plan even if
distributed.

              Determination of Income or
      Loss – Excess aggregate contributions shall be adjusted for any
      income or loss.  The income or loss allocable to excess
      aggregate contributions allocated to each participant is the sum
      of:  (i) the income or loss allocable to the participant's
      employee nondeductible contribution account, employer matching
      contribution account (if any, and if all amounts therein are not used in
      the ADP test) and, if applicable, qualified nonelective contribution
      account and elective deferral account(s) for the plan year multiplied by a
      fraction, the numerator of which is such participant's excess aggregate
      contributions for the year and the denominator is the participant's
      account balance(s) attributable to contribution percentage amounts without
      regard to any income or loss occurring during such plan year; and
      (ii) effective for plan years beginning on or after
      January 1, 2006, and to the extent the excess contributions are
      or will be credited with gain or loss as of an accounting date within the
      gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the plan year and prior to
      the distribution), 10% of the amount determined under (i) multiplied by
      the number of whole calendar months between the end of the plan year and
      the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if
      distribution occurs after the 15th of such
  month.

      contributions may either be reallocated to the accounts of non-highly
      compensated employees or applied to reduce employer contributions, as
      provided in Section 3.6(e).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (C)

            	
              Accounting for Excess Aggregate
      Contributions – Excess aggregate contributions allocated to a
      participant shall be forfeited, if forfeitable or distributed on a
      pro-rata basis from the participant's employee nondeductible contribution
      account and employer matching contribution account (and, if applicable,
      the participant's qualified nonelective contribution account or elective
      deferral account(s), or both).

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (D)

            	
              Excess Aggregate
      Contributions shall mean, with respect to any plan year, the excess
      of:  (i) The aggregate contribution percentage amounts
      taken into account in computing the numerator of the contribution
      percentage actually made on behalf of highly compensated employees for
      such plan year, over (ii) The maximum contribution percentage amounts
      permitted by the ACP test (determined by hypothetically reducing
      contributions made on behalf of highly compensated employees in order of
      their contribution percentages beginning with the highest of such
      percentages).

            

    

     

    Such
determination shall be made after first determining excess elective deferrals
pursuant to Section 5.5(a) and then determining excess contributions
pursuant to Section 5.5(b)(2).

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              Required Forfeitures –
      Any employer matching contribution attributable to an excess elective
      deferral determined pursuant to Section 5.5(a) or an excess
      contribution determined pursuant to Section 5.5(b)(2) shall be
      forfeited.  Any nonvested excess aggregate contribution
      determined pursuant to Section 5.5(c)(2) shall also be
      forfeited.

              Top-Heavy
      Requirements

            

    

     

    Elective
deferrals (and for plan years beginning before January 1, 2002
employer matching contributions) will not be taken into account for the purpose
of satisfying the minimum top-heavy contribution
requirement.  However, qualified nonelective contributions and
employer matching contributions (for plan years beginning on or after
January 1, 2002) may be taken into account for this purpose as
provided in Section 3.2(c) or 3.3(b), as appropriate.

              Restrictions on Payment of
      Certain Accounts

            

    

     

    Elective
deferrals, qualified nonelective contributions, and qualified matching
contributions, and income allocable to each are not distributable to a
participant or his beneficiary in accordance with such person's election,
earlier than upon the participant's severance from employment (separation from
service for plan years beginning before 2002), death, or
disability.  All distributions that may be made pursuant to one or
more of the distributable events described in this Section 5.5(e) are
subject to the spousal and participant consent requirements as described in
Section 5.2(a).

              Termination
      of the plan without the employer maintaining or establishing another
      defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan (as
      defined in Code section 4975(e)(7) or 409), a simplified
      employee pension plan (as defined in Code section 408(k)), a SIMPLE
      IRA plan (as defined in Code section 408(p)), a plan or contract
      described in Code section 403(b) or a plan described in Code
      section 457(b) or (f)) at any time during the period beginning
      on the date of plan termination and ending 12 months after all assets
      have been distributed from the plan.  Such a distribution must
      be made in a lump sum or through the purchase of an annuity contract that
      shall be owned by the participant (if an annuity payment option is
      otherwise available under
Section 4.3(b)).

      all of the assets (within the meaning of Code section 409(d)(2)) used
      in a trade or business of such corporation if such corporation continues
      to maintain this plan after the disposition, but only with respect to
      employees who continue employment with the corporation acquiring such
      assets.  Such a distribution must be made in a lump
      sum.

      safe harbor requirements will be met, the provisions of this
      Section 5.5(f) shall apply for the plan year as provided in such
      Sections and any provisions relating to the ADP test described in
      Section 5.5(b) or the ACP test described in Section 5.5(c) shall
      not apply.  To the extent that any other provision of the plan
      is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.5(f), the
      provisions of this Section 5.5(f) shall govern when
      Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.6 so

              ADP Test Safe Harbor
      Contributions – The plan may provide in Section 3.4(a) that
      the ADP test safe harbor requirements shall be satisfied by the employer
      making a safe harbor employer matching contribution as provided under
      Section 3.6 (or as a separate safe harbor employer matching
      contribution as provided under Section 3.6A) or by the employer
      making a safe harbor nonelective contribution under Section 3.3 of at
      least 3% of the employee's compensation or under another defined
      contribution plan sponsored by the employer.  In any case, the
      notice described in Section 5.5(f)(4) shall be given.  The
      participant's accrued benefit derived from ADP test safe harbor
      contributions shall be nonforfeitable and may not be distributed earlier
      than provided in Section 5.5(e), regardless of the form of the

              ACP Test Safe Harbor
      Requirements – The plan may provide in Section 3.6 that the
      ACP test safe harbor requirements shall be satisfied by the employer
      making a safe harbor nonelective contribution under Section 3.3 of at
      least 3% of the employee's compensation or by the employer making a
      matching contribution on behalf of each eligible employee that
      either:

      such elective contributions do not exceed 3% of the employee's
      compensation, plus 50% of the elective contributions of the employee to
      the extent that such elective contributions exceed 3% but do not exceed 5%

      amount of matching contributions which would be made if matching
      contributions were made on the basis of the percentages described in
      Section 5.5(f)(3)(A).

            

    

     

    In either
case, the notice described in Section 5.5(f)(4) shall be given and matching
contributions on behalf of any employee shall not be made with respect to an
employee's nondeductible contributions or elective deferrals in excess of 6% of
the employee's compensation.  The rate of an employer's matching
contribution shall not increase as the rate of an employee's nondeductible
contributions or elective deferrals increase nor shall the matching contribution
with respect to any highly compensated employee be greater than that with
respect to an employee who is not a highly compensated employee.

      eligible to participate in the plan, no less than 30 days and no more
      than 90 days prior to any plan year (or his entry date in the case of
      a new participant), written notice of the employee's rights and
      obligations under the plan that is sufficiently accurate and comprehensive
      to apprise the employee of such rights and obligations.  If an
      employee becomes eligible to participate after the 90th day before the
      beginning of the plan year and does not receive the notice for that
      reason, the notice must be provided no more than 90 days before the
      employee becomes eligible but not later than the date the employee becomes
      eligible.

              Contents of the Notice –
      Such notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by
      the average employee eligible to participate hereunder.  The
      notice shall accurately describe:  (i) the safe harbor
      matching or nonelective contribution formula used under the plan
      (including a description of the levels of matching contributions, if any,
      available under the plan); (ii) any other contributions under the
      plan (including the potential for discretionary matching contributions)
      and the conditions under which such contributions are made; (iii) the
      plan to which safe harbor contributions will be made if such contributions
      will be made to another plan; (iv) the type and amount of
      compensation that may be deferred under the plan; (v) how to make
      cash or deferred elections, including any administrative requirements that
      apply to such elections; (vi) the periods available under the plan
      for making cash or deferred elections; and (vii) withdrawal and
      vesting provisions applicable to contributions under the
      plan.  If eligible employees have been provided with the current
      summary plan description, the written notice may instead cross-reference
      the relevant portion with respect to items (ii), (iii),
      and (iv); however, such notice must also provide the telephone
      numbers, addresses and, if applicable, electronic addresses, of the
      individuals or offices from whom employees can obtain additional
      information about the plan.

      and Notice for Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution – If the
      employer determines that it may choose during a plan year to satisfy the
      ADP test safe harbor requirements by providing a safe harbor nonelective
      contribution, the plan administrator shall provide a written notice to
      eligible employees before the beginning of the plan year that (i) the
      plan may be amended during the plan year to provide that the employer will
      make a safe harbor nonelective contribution of at least 3% to the plan for
      the plan year and (ii) if the plan is so amended, a supplemental
      notice will be given to eligible employees 30 days prior to the last
      day of the plan year informing them of such an amendment.  If
      the employer elects during the plan year to satisfy the ADP test safe
      harbor requirements by providing a safe harbor nonelective contribution,
      the amendment shall be adopted not later than 30 days before the last
      day of the plan year.  The supplemental notice shall be
      distributed no later than 30 days prior to the last day of the plan
      year and shall state that a 3% safe harbor nonelective contribution will
      be made for the plan year.

              (a)

            	
              Fiduciary Standards – A
      fiduciary shall discharge his duties with respect to a plan solely in the
      interest of the participants and beneficiaries and
  –

            

    

     

    For the
exclusive purpose of providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries
and defraying reasonable expenses of administering the plan;

     

    With the
care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters
would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like
aims;

     

    By
diversifying the investments of the plan so as to minimize the risk of large
losses, unless under the circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so;
and

     

    In
accordance with the documents and instruments governing the plan insofar as such
documents and instruments are consistent with the provisions of
ERISA.

              (1)

            	
              It
      is intended to allocate to each fiduciary, either named or otherwise, the
      individual responsibility for the prudent execution of the functions
      assigned to him.  None of the allocated responsibilities or any
      other responsibilities shall be shared by two or more fiduciaries unless
      specifically provided for in the
plan.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              When
      one fiduciary is required to follow the directions of another fiduciary,
      the two fiduciaries shall not be deemed to share such
      responsibility.  Instead, the responsibility of the fiduciary
      giving the directions shall be deemed to be his sole responsibility and
      the responsibility of the fiduciary receiving directions shall be to
      follow those directions insofar as such instructions on their face are
      proper under applicable law.

      benefit determination on review.

            

    

     

    If a
claim is wholly or partially denied, the plan administrator shall notify the
claimant of the plan's adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period
of time, but not later than 90 days after receipt of the claim by the plan,

extension of time for processing the claim.  If the plan administrator

      for review, unless circumstances make it impossible to do so; but in no
      event shall the decision be rendered later than 120 days after the
      request for review is received.  If the named fiduciary
      determines that an extension of time for processing is required, written
      notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant by the plan
      administrator prior to the termination of the initial 60-day
      period.  The extension notice shall indicate the special
      circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the

      benefit determination no later than the date of the meeting of the
      committee or board that immediately follows the plan's receipt of a
      request for review, unless the request for review is filed within
      30 days preceding the date of such meeting.  In such case,
      a benefit determination may be made by no later than the date of the
      second meeting following the plan's receipt of the request for
      review.  If special circumstances require a further extension of
      time for processing, a benefit determination shall be rendered not later
      than the third meeting of the committee or board following the plan's
      receipt of the request for review.  If such an extension of time
      for review is required because of special circumstances, the plan
      administrator shall provide the claimant with written notice of the
      extension, describing the special circumstances and the date as of which
      the benefit determination will be made, prior to the commencement of the
      extension.  The plan administrator shall notify the claimant of
      the benefit determination as soon as possible, but not later than

      section 2560.503-1(j)(5)(iii) regarding the possible availability of
      alternative dispute resolution

(or for execution of such orders as it receives from an investment manager
appointed for investment of plan assets).  The duties and powers of
the trustee shall be set forth in a trust agreement executed by the employer,
which is incorporated herein by reference.  The named fiduciary shall
review at regular intervals the performance of the trustee and shall re-evaluate
the appointment of such trustee.  After the employer has appointed the
trustee and the named fiduciary has received a written notice of acceptance of
its responsibility, the fiduciary responsibility with respect to the proper care
and custody of plan assets shall be considered as the responsibility of the
trustee.  Unless otherwise allocated to an investment manager, the
fiduciary responsibility with respect to investment of plan assets shall

              Appointment of Investment
      Manager

            

    

     

    The named
fiduciary may appoint an investment manager who is other than the trustee, which
investment manager may be a bank or an investment advisor registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisors Act of
1940.  Such investment manager, if appointed, shall have sole
discretion in the investment of plan assets, subject to the funding
policy.  The named fiduciary shall review at regular intervals no less
frequently than annually, the performance of such investment manager and shall
re-evaluate the appointment of such investment manager.  After the
named fiduciary has appointed an investment manager and has received a written
notice of acceptance of its responsibility, the fiduciary responsibility with
respect to investment of plan assets shall be considered as the responsibility
of the investment manager.

              Funding
      Policy

            

    

     

    The named
fiduciary shall determine and communicate in writing to the fiduciary
responsible for investment of plan assets the funding policy for the
plan.  The funding policy shall set forth the plan's short-range and
long-range financial needs, so that said fiduciary may coordinate the investment
of plan assets with the plan's financial needs.

              Valuation of the
      Fund

            

    

     

    The fund
shall be valued by the trustee on the first day of each plan year and as of any
interim allocation date determined by the plan administrator.  The
valuation shall be made on the basis of the current fair market value of all
property in the fund.

              Expenses

            

    

     

    The trust
fund shall pay the expenses incurred in the administration of the plan and the
investment of the fund, provided the cost is reasonable.  Such
expenses shall include legal fees incurred by the plan administrator or the
trustee, provided such fiduciaries are not proven to have committed a prohibited
transaction.  Generally, expenses shall be allocated against the
participant accounts on a pro rata basis.

     

    ARTICLE
VII – AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

     

    Section
7.1 – Right to Discontinue and Amend

     

    It is the
expectation of the employer that it will continue this plan indefinitely and
make the payments of its contributions hereunder, but the continuance of the
plan is not assumed as a contractual obligation of the employer and the right is
reserved by the employer, at any time, to reduce, suspend or discontinue its
contributions hereunder.

     

     

    Section
7.2 – Amendments

     

    Except as
herein limited, the employer shall have the right to amend this plan at any time
to any extent that it may deem advisable.  Such amendment shall be
stated in writing.  It shall be authorized by action of the board of
directors under the corporate by-laws if the employer is a corporation, by
action of the agreement of the partners as required under the partnership
agreement if the employer is a partnership, or by action of the sole proprietor
if the employer is a sole proprietorship.  The authorization of an
employer's board of directors shall designate the person to execute the
amendment.

     

    The
employer's right to amend the plan shall be limited as follows:

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              No
      amendment shall increase the duties or liabilities of the plan
      administrator, the trustee, or other fiduciary without their respective
      written consent.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (b)

            	
              No
      amendments shall have the effect of vesting in the employer any interest
      in or control over any contracts issued pursuant hereto or any other
      property in the fund.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              No
      amendment to the plan shall be effective to the extent that it has the
      effect of decreasing a participant's accrued
      benefit.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a
      participant's account balance may be reduced to the extent permitted under
      Code section 412(c)(8).  For purposes of this paragraph, a
      plan amendment that has the effect of decreasing a participant's account
      balance, with respect to benefits attributable to service before the
      amendment shall be treated as reducing an accrued
      benefit.  Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of a plan is
      amended, in the case of an employee who is a participant as of the later
      of the date such amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective,
      the nonforfeitable percentage (determined as of such date) of such
      employee's right to his employer-derived accrued benefit will not be less
      than his percentage computed under the plan without regard to such
      amendment.

              (d)

            	
              No
      amendment to the plan shall be effective to eliminate or restrict an
      optional form of benefit.  The preceding sentence shall not
      apply to a plan amendment that eliminates or restricts the ability of a
      participant to receive payment of his or her account balance under a
      particular optional form of benefit if the amendment provides a single-sum
      distribution form that is otherwise identical to the optional form of
      benefit being eliminated or restricted.  For this purpose, a
      single-sum distribution form is otherwise identical only if the single-sum
      distribution form is identical in all respects to the eliminated or
      restricted optional form of benefit (or would be identical except that it
      provides greater rights to the participant) except with respect to the
      timing of payments after
commencement.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (e)

            	
              No
      amendment to the vesting schedule adopted by the employer hereunder shall
      deprive a participant of his vested portion of his employer contribution
      accounts to the date of such amendment.  If the plan's vesting
      schedule is amended, or the plan is amended in any way that directly or
      indirectly affects the computation of the participant's nonforfeitable
      percentage or if the plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or
      from a top-heavy vesting schedule, each participant with at least
      3 years of service with the employer may elect, within a reasonable
      period after the adoption of the amendment or change, to have the
      nonforfeitable percentage computed under the plan without regard to such
      amendment or change.  For participants who do not have at least
      one hour of service in any plan year beginning after
      December 31, 1988, "5 years of service" shall be
      substituted for "3 years of service" in the preceding
      sentence.  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:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              60 days
      after the amendment is adopted;

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              60 days
      after the amendment becomes effective;
or

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              60 days
      after the participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the
      employer or plan administrator.

            

    

     

    Section
7.3 – Protection of Benefits in Case of Plan Merger

     

    In the
event of a merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to
any other plan, each participant will receive a benefit immediately after such
merger, consolidation or transfer (if the plan then terminated) that is at least
equal to the benefit the participant was entitled to immediately before such
merger, consolidation or transfer (if the plan had terminated).

     

    Section
7.4 – Termination of Plan

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              When Plan Terminates –
      This plan shall terminate upon the happening of any of the following
      events:  legal adjudication of the employer as bankrupt; a
      general assignment by the employer to or for the benefit of its creditors;
      the legal dissolution of the employer; or termination of the plan by the
      employer.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (b)

            	
              Allocation of Assets –
      Upon termination, partial termination, or complete discontinuance of
      employer contributions, the account balance(s) of each affected
      participant who is an active participant or who is not an active
      participant but has neither received a complete distribution of his vested
      accrued benefit nor incurred five one-year breaks in service shall be 100%
      vested and nonforfeitable.  The amount of the fund assets shall
      be allocated to each participant, subject to provisions for expenses of
      administration of the liquidation, in the ratio that such participant's
      account(s) bears to all accounts.  If a participant under this
      plan has terminated his employment at any time after the first day of the
      plan year in which the employer made his final contribution to the plan,
      and if any portion of any account of such terminated participant was
      forfeited and reallocated to the remaining participants, such forfeiture
      shall be reversed and the forfeited amount shall be credited to the
      account of such terminated
participant.

            

    

     

    ARTICLE
VIII – MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     

    Section
8.1 – Exclusive Benefit – Non-Reversion

     

    The plan
is created for the exclusive benefit of the employees of the employer and shall
be interpreted in a manner consistent with its being a qualified plan as defined
in section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and with
ERISA.  The corpus or income of the trust may not be diverted to or
used for other than the exclusive benefit of the participants or their
beneficiaries (except for defraying reasonable expenses of administering the
plan).

     

    Notwithstanding
the above, a contribution paid by the employer to the trust may be repaid to the
employer under the following circumstances:

              (a)

            	
              Any
      contribution made by the employer because of a mistake of fact must be
      returned to the employer within one year of the
    contribution.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (b)

            	
              In
      the event the deduction of a contribution made by the employer is
      disallowed under Code section 404, such contribution (to the extent
      disallowed) must be returned to the employer within one year of the
      disallowance of the deduction.

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              If
      the Commissioner of Internal Revenue determines that the plan is not
      initially qualified under the Internal Revenue Code, any contribution made
      incident to that initial qualification by the employer must be returned to
      the employer within one year after the date the initial qualification is
      denied, but only if the application for the qualification is made by the
      time prescribed by law for filing the employer's return for the taxable
      year in which the plan is adopted, or such later date as the Secretary of
      the Treasury may prescribe.

            

    

     

    Section
8.2 – Inalienability of Benefits

     

    No
benefit or interest available hereunder including any annuity contract
distributed herefrom shall be subject to assignment or alienation, either
voluntarily or involuntarily.  The preceding sentence shall also apply
to the creation, assignment, or recognition of a right to any benefit payable
with respect to a participant pursuant to a domestic relations order, unless
such order is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order as defined
in Code section 414(p), or any domestic relations order entered before
January 1, 1985.  A loan made to a participant and secured
by his nonforfeitable account balance(s) under Section 4.4(b) will not be
treated as an assignment or alienation and such securing account balance(s)
shall be subject to attachment by the plan in the event of default.

     

    Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraph, effective with respect to judgments, orders, and
decrees issued, and settlement agreements entered into, on or after
August 5, 1997, a participant’s benefit (and that of his spouse) shall
be reduced to satisfy liabilities of the participant to the plan due to
(1) the participant being convicted of committing a crime involving the
plan, (2) a civil judgment (or consent order or decree) entered by a court
in an action brought in connection with a violation of the fiduciary provisions
of part 4 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, or (3) a
settlement agreement between the Secretary of Labor or the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation and the participant in connection with a violation of such
fiduciary provisions of ERISA.  No reduction shall be made pursuant to
this paragraph, unless the judgment, order, decree, or settlement agreement
shall expressly provide for the offset of all or part of the amount ordered or
required to be paid to the Plan against the participant’s benefits provided
under the Plan.

     

    Section
8.3 – Employer-Employee Relationship

     

    This plan
is not to be construed as creating or changing any contract of employment
between the employer and its employees, and the employer retains the right to
deal with its employees in the same manner as though this plan had not been
created.

     

    Section
8.4 – Binding Agreement

     

    This plan
shall be binding on the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
as such terms may be applicable to any or all parties hereto, and on any
participants, present or future.

     

    Section
8.5 – Separability

     

    If any
provision of this plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and this plan
shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been
included.

     

    Section
8.6 – Construction

     

    The plan
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the
employer was incorporated (or is domiciled in the case of an unincorporated
employer) and with ERISA.

     

    Section
8.7 – Copies of Plan

     

    This plan
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed as
an original, and said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument that may be sufficiently evidenced by any one
counterpart.

    2007
COMPLIANCE AMENDMENT

    TO
THE

    WEIS
MARKETS, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

     

    As
authorized by Section 7.2 of the Weis Markets, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan
("Plan") as amended and restated effective January 1, 2009, the
employer, Weis Markets, Inc., hereby amends the Plan to comply with certain law
and regulatory changes effective as of the 2007 plan year not otherwise
incorporated into the Plan.  This amendment shall supersede the
provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the
provisions of this amendment.

     

    The
employer hereby amends the Plan in the following manner:

     

    FIRST:
Limitations on Allocations – Compliance with Final Regulations

     

    Effective
for limitation years beginning on or after July 1, 2007,
Section 5.1 is amended to comply with the final regulations issued under
Code section 415.  Section 5.1(a) and (b) are amended to
remove the provisions governing the correction of an excess amount and replace
them with provisions limiting contributions that would otherwise be in excess of
the annual addition limitations.  Further, Section 5.1(a) is
amended to provide that certain corrective allocations are not an annual
addition.  As amended, Section 5.1(a)(4) shall read as
follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              If
      a participant elects to make employee nondeductible contributions or
      elective deferrals that together with any contribution the employer is
      obligated to make under the terms of this plan (including pursuant to any
      published discretionary contribution) would otherwise cause the annual
      additions for the limitation year to exceed the maximum permissible
      amount, the contribution election of the participant shall be limited
      before any employer contribution is reduced so that the annual additions
      for the limitation year will equal the maximum permissible
      amount.

            

    

     

    Section 5.1(b)(6)
shall be deleted and Section 5.1(b)(5) shall read as follow:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (5)

            	
              If
      an allocation date of this plan coincides with an allocation date of
      another plan and the employee or employer contribution that would
      otherwise be contributed or allocated to a participant's account under the
      plans would cause the annual additions for the limitation year to exceed
      the maximum permissible amount, Section 3.1(c) shall control which
      contribution or allocation will be reduced so that the annual additions
      for the limitation year will equal the maximum permissible
      amount.

            

    

     

    Section 5.1(c)(1)
definition of annual addition shall contain a new paragraph that shall read as
follows:

     

    Restorative
payments allocated to a participant’s account including restorative payments
made pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(2)(B) and payments made to restore losses
to the plan resulting from actions (or a failure to act) by a fiduciary for
which there is a reasonable risk of liability under ERISA or under other
applicable federal or state law (where similarly situated participants are
treated similarly) shall not give rise to an annual addition for any limitation
year.

     

    A
corresponding amendment shall be made to Section 3.1(c) so that it shall be
replaced with the following:

     

    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              Limitations and
      Conditions – Notwithstanding the allocation procedures set forth in
      this Article, the allocations otherwise contributable to participants'
      accounts under this plan shall be limited or reduced as provided in
      Section 5.1.

            

    

     

    SECOND:
Excess Deferrals

     

    Section 5.5(a)(6)
is amended to comply with Regulation section 1.402(g)-1(e)(5) to include
gap period interest when distributing an excess elective deferral.  As
amended, Section 5.5(a)(6) shall read as follows:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (6)

            	
              Determination of Income or
      Loss

            

    

     

    Excess
elective deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or loss.  The
income or loss allocable to excess elective deferrals allocated to each
participant is the sum of:  (i) the income or loss allocable to
the participant's elective deferral account(s) for the taxable year multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is such participant's excess elective
deferrals for the year and the denominator is the participant's account balance
attributable to elective deferrals without regard to any income or loss
occurring during such taxable year; and (ii) effective for taxable years
beginning on or after January 1, 2007, and to the extent the excess
elective deferrals are or will be credited with gain or loss as of an accounting
date within the gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the taxable year
and prior to the distribution), 10% of the amount determined under (i)
multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the end of the taxable
year and the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if
distribution occurs after the 15th of such month.

     

    THIRD:
Limitations and Conditions Under Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m)

     

    Effective
for limitation years beginning on or after July 1, 2007,
Section 5.5(b)(1)(B) and 5.5(c)(1)(B)(iv) are amended to remove the
provisions referencing the exclusion of distributed amounts that were
distributed as amounts in excess of the Code section 415 annual addition
limitations.  As amended, the final sentence of
Section 5.5(b)(1)(B) and the final sentence of 5.5(c)(1)(B)(iv) are each
deleted.

     

    FOURTH:

MARKETS, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

     

    As
authorized by Section 7.2 of the Weis Markets, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan
("Plan") as amended and restated effective January 1, 2009, the
employer, Weis Markets, Inc., hereby amends the Plan to comply with the Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) and other law and regulatory changes effective as
of or prior to the 2009 plan year and now required to be incorporated into the
Plan.  This amendment shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to
the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this
amendment.  The employer hereby amends the Plan in the following
manner:

     

    FIRST:
Employer

     

    Section 1.5
is amended to comply with Revenue Ruling 2008-45 prohibiting the transfer
of the plan sponsorship to an unrelated taxpayer where there is no related
transfer of business assets or operations.  As amended,
Section 1.5 shall contain an additional subsection (c) that shall read
as follows:

     

    
      	
            	
              (c)

            	
              Exclusive Benefit – In
      compliance with the exclusive benefit requirements of Code
      section 401(a), the sponsorship of this plan may not be transferred
      to an unrelated entity if the transfer is not in connection with a
      transfer of business assets or operations from the employer to such
      entity.

            

    

     

    SECOND:
USERRA Break in Service

     

    Section 1.10
is amended to comply with the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of
2008 (HEART) with respect to deaths occurring on or after
January 1, 2007.  As amended, a second paragraph is added to
Section 1.10(e) that shall read as follows:

     

    Effective
with respect to deaths occurring on or after January 1, 2007, in the
case of a participant who dies while performing qualified military service, the
beneficiary(ies) of the participant shall be entitled to any benefits payable
under Section 4.2(a)(5) that would have been payable had the participant
resumed and then terminated employment on account of death.

     

    THIRD:
Investment Election

     

    Section 3.8(b)
is amended to provide that the Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements
under ERISA section 404(c)(5) for a qualified default investment
alternative with respect to any automatic contribution and any other account for
which a participant fails to make an investment election.  As amended,
Section 3.8(b) shall contain an additional paragraph that shall read as
follows:

     

    If a
participant fails to make any investment election prior to an allocation to his
account(s), the trustee shall invest his account(s) in a qualified default
investment alternative selected for the purpose that complies with the
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Labor under ERISA
section 404(c)(5) until such time as the participant makes an affirmative
investment election.

     

    FOURTH:
Inherited IRAs and Rollovers to Roth IRAs

     

    Effective
for distributions on or after January 1, 2007, Section 4.3(d)(2)
and (3) are amended to permit a nonspouse beneficiary receiving a lump sum death
benefit to direct its transfer to an inherited individual retirement
account.  Effective for distributions on or after
January 1, 2008, Section 4.3(d)(2) is amended to permit a
rollover or transfer to a Roth individual retirement account.  As
amended, Section 4.3(d)(2) shall read as follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Eligible Retirement Plan
      – An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account
      described in Code section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity
      described in Code section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code
      section 403(a), or a qualified plan described in Code
      section 401(a), that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover
      distribution.  Effective for distributions made on or after
      January 1, 2002, an eligible retirement plan shall also mean an
      annuity contract described in Code section 403(b) or an eligible plan
      under Code section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political
      subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or
      political subdivision of a state and that agrees to separately account for
      amounts transferred into such plan from this
  plan.

            

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    If any
portion of an eligible rollover distribution is attributable to payments or
distributions from a designated Roth account, an eligible retirement plan with
respect to such portion shall include only a designated Roth account in a
qualified defined contribution plan described in Code section 401(a) or a
Roth IRA as defined in Code section 402A(c)(3)(A).

     

    Effective
for distributions made on or after January 1, 2008, an eligible
retirement plan includes a Roth individual retirement account (Roth IRA)
described in Code section 408A.  However, for distributions
before January 1, 2010, a distributee shall not be allowed to make a
qualified rollover contribution to a Roth IRA from an account other than a
designated Roth account if, for the taxable year of the distribution to which
such contribution relates the distributee's adjusted gross income exceeds
$100,000, or the distributee is a married individual filing a separate
return.

     

    As
amended, Section 4.3(d)(3) shall read as follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              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
      Code section 414(p), are distributees with regard to the interest of
      the spouse or former spouse.  Effective for death benefit
      distributions made on or after January 1, 2007, a distributee
      shall include a nonspouse beneficiary but only with respect to a direct
      transfer to an inherited individual retirement account or annuity that is
      established on his behalf and that will be treated as an inherited
      individual retirement account or annuity pursuant to the provisions of
      Code section 402(c)(11).

            

    

     

    FIFTH:
Distribution Written Explanation and Code Section 402(f) Notice
Period

     

    Effective
for notices issued on or after January 1, 2007, Section 4.3(e) is
amended to reflect that the notice must include a description of the
consequences of failing to defer receipt of a distribution in compliance with
the changes made by PPA.  Effective for annuity starting dates
occurring on or after January 1, 2007, Section 4.3(e) is also
amended to permit the Code section 402(f) and section 411(a)(11)
notice requirements to be met as much as 180 days prior to the annuity
starting date.  As amended, the first paragraph of Section 4.3(e)
shall read as follows:

     

    
      	
            	
              (e)

            	
              Payment Election
      Procedures

            

    

     

    As
described in Section 5.2(a), an account balance in excess of $5,000 shall not be
immediately distributed without the consent of the participant.  The
participant shall receive the notice required under Regulation
section 1.411(a)-11(c) no less than 30 days and no more than
180 days before the annuity starting date with respect to the
distribution.  Effective for notices issued on or after
January 1, 2007, the written explanation shall include a description
of the consequences of failing to defer receipt of the
distribution.  Effective for distributions made on or after
January 1, 1993, for any distribution in excess of $200, the plan
administrator shall give the participant notice of his eligible rollover
distribution rights.  The participant shall receive such notice in the
same time period as the 411 notice is required to be
provided.  Effective for distributions made on or after
January 1, 1994, if a distribution is one to which Code
sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply, such distribution may
commence less than 30 days after the 411 notice is given, provided
that:

    SIXTH:
Hardship Withdrawals for Beneficiary

     

    Effective
for plan years beginning after December 31, 2006, Section 4.4(a)
is amended to permit a participant to receive a hardship withdrawal due to an
event that constitutes a hardship occurring with respect to a person who the
participant has designated as his primary beneficiary under the
Plan.  As amended, the amended portion of Section 4.4(a) shall
read as follows:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    An
immediate and heavy financial need shall be deemed to exist if the distribution
is requested for one of the following reasons:  (1) expenses
incurred or necessary for medical care described in Code section 213(d) of
the employee, the employee's spouse, children, dependents, or
beneficiary(ies);  (2) the purchase (excluding mortgage payments)
of a principal residence for the employee; (3) payment of tuition and
related educational fees for the next twelve months of post-secondary education
for the employee, the employee's spouse, children, dependents, or
beneficiary(ies); (4) payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the
employee from, or a foreclosure on the mortgage of, the employee's principal
residence; (5) payments for funeral or burial expenses for the employee's
deceased parent, spouse, child, dependent, or beneficiary; or (6) expenses
incurred to repair damage to the employee's principal residence that would
qualify for a casualty loss deduction under Code section 165 (determined
without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross
income).  The latter two reasons (funeral expenses and home repair)
shall only apply to plan years beginning after
December 31, 2005.  Immediate and heavy financial need for
the participant's beneficiary shall only apply to plan years beginning after
December 31, 2006.  For this purpose beneficiary shall mean
the individual(s) designated by the participant as his primary beneficiary on
his most recent beneficiary designation.

     

    SEVENTH:
Definitions (Code Section 415 Limitations) – Compensation

     

    Effective
for limitation years beginning on or after July 1, 2007,
Section 5.1(c)(2) is amended to comply with the final regulations issued
under Code section 415 with respect to the definition of compensation where
there is severance compensation following a termination of
employment.  As amended, Section 5.1(c)(2) shall read as
follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              Compensation – A
      participant's earned income and any earnings reportable as W-2 wages
      for federal income tax withholding purposes that are paid by the
      employer.  W-2 wages means wages as defined in Code
      section 3401(a) but determined without regard to any rules that limit
      the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the
      employment or the services performed (such as the exception for
      agricultural labor in Code
  section 3401(a)(2)).

            

    

     

    For
purposes of applying the limitations of this Section 5.1, compensation for
a limitation year is the compensation actually paid or includable in gross
income during such limitation year.

     

    Compensation
in excess of the limitations of Section 1.2(c) shall not be taken into
account.  In order to be taken into account for a limitation year,
compensation must be paid or treated as paid prior to severance from employment
with the employer.  Effective for limitation years beginning on or
after July 1, 2007, an includable payment shall be treated as paid
prior to severance from employment if it is paid by the later of 21⁄2 months
after severance or the last day of the limitation year that includes the
severance date.  For this purpose, includable payments are those that
absent the severance would have been paid and are regular compensation for
services during regular working hours or outside working hours (such as overtime
or shift differentials), commissions, bonuses, or other similar
compensation.  Includable payments shall also include accrued sick,
vacation, or other leave if such payments would have been included in
compensation as defined in Section 1.2 if they were paid prior to the
employee's severance from employment.

     

    Compensation
shall include elective contributions as defined in Section 1.2(a) and
elective contributions under a Code section 501(c)(18)
plan.  Elective contribution amounts under a cafeteria plan excludable
under Code section 125 shall include any amounts not available to a
participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the participant is
unable to certify that he has other health coverage (deemed section 125
compensation).  An amount will be treated as an amount under Code
section 125 only if the employer does not request or collect information
regarding the participant's other health coverage as part of the enrollment
process for the health plan.

     

    Notwithstanding
the preceding, compensation for a participant in a defined contribution plan who
is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code section 22(e)(3))
is the compensation such participant would have received for the limitation year
if the participant had been paid at the rate of compensation paid immediately
before becoming permanently and totally disabled; such imputed compensation for
the disabled participant may be taken into account only if contributions made on
behalf of such participant are nonforfeitable when made.

     

     

    EIGHTH:
Code Sections 402(f) and 411(a)(11) Notice Periods

     

    Effective
for notices issued on or after January 1, 2007, Section 5.2 is
amended to reflect that the Code section 411(a)(11) compliance notice must
include a description of the consequences of failing to defer receipt of a
distribution in compliance with the changes made by PPA.  Effective
for annuity starting dates occurring on or after January 1, 2007,
Section 5.2 is also amended to permit the Code section 411(a)(11)
notice requirement to be met as much as 180 days prior to the annuity
starting date.  As amended, the paragraphs amended under
Section 5.2 shall read as follows:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
              Restrictions on Immediate
      Distributions – If the value of a participant's vested account
      balance derived from employer and employee contributions(1) in plan
      years beginning before January 1, 1998, exceeded $3,500 or
      (2) in plan years beginning after January 1, 1997, exceeds
      $5,000 and the account balance is immediately distributable, the
      participant (or where the participant has died, the participant's spouse)
      must consent to any distribution of such account
      balance.  Effective for distributions made on or after March 22,
      1999, for the purpose of determining the value of a participant's vested
      account balance, prior distributions shall be disregarded if distributions
      have not commenced under an optional form of payment described in Section
      4.3.  The consent of the participant (or the participant's
      surviving spouse) shall be obtained in writing within the 180-day period
      ending on the annuity starting date.  The annuity starting date
      is the first day of the first period for which an amount is paid in any
      form.  The plan administrator shall notify the participant (or
      the participant's surviving spouse) of the right to defer any distribution
      until the participant's account balance is no longer immediately
      distributable.  Such notification shall include a general
      description of the material features (and an explanation of the relative
      values) of the optional forms of benefit available under the plan in a
      manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Code
      section 417(a)(3), and shall be provided no less than 30 days
      and no more than 180 days prior to the annuity starting
      date.  However, distribution may commence less than 30 days
      after the notice described in the preceding sentence is given, provided
      the distribution is one to which Code sections 401(a)(11)
      and 417 do not apply, the plan administrator clearly informs the
      participant that the participant has a right to a period of at least
      30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of
      whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular
      distribution option), and the participant, after receiving the notice,
      affirmatively elects a distribution.  Effective for notices
      issued on or after January 1, 2007, the written explanation
      shall include a description of the consequences of failing to defer
      receipt of the distribution.

              (b)

            	
              Safe Harbor Rules – This
      Section 5.2(b) shall apply to a participant in this profit sharing
      plan, and to any distribution, made on or after the first day of the first
      plan year beginning after December 31, 1988, from or under a
      separate account attributable solely to accumulated deductible employee
      contributions, as defined in Code section 72(o)(5)(B), and maintained
      on behalf of a participant in a money purchase pension plan, (including a
      target benefit plan).  This plan satisfies and shall continue to
      satisfy the following conditions:  (1) the participant
      cannot elect payments in the form of a life annuity; and (2) on the
      death of a participant, the participant's vested account balance will be
      paid to the participant's surviving spouse, but if there is no surviving
      spouse, or if the surviving spouse has consented in a manner conforming to
      a qualified election, then to the participant's designated
      beneficiary.  The surviving spouse may elect to have
      distribution of the vested account balance commence within the 180-day
      period following the date of the participant's death.  The
      account balance shall be adjusted for gains or losses occurring after the
      participant's death in accordance with the provisions of the plan
      governing the adjustment of account balances for other types of
      distributions.

              (A)

            	
              If
      the employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including
      any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and the employer has not maintained
      any defined benefit plan that during the five-year period ending on the
      determination date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the top-heavy ratio
      for this plan alone or for the required or permissive aggregation group as
      appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
      account balances of all key employees as of the determination date(s)
      including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year
      period ending on the determination date(s) (five-year period ending on the
      determination date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other
      than severance from employment, death or disability and in determining
      whether the plan is top-heavy for plan years beginning before
      January 1, 2002), and the denominator of which is the sum of all
      account balances including any part of any account balance distributed in
      the one-year period ending on the determination date(s) (five-year period
      ending on the determination date in the case of a distribution made for a
      reason other than severance from employment, death or disability and in
      determining whether the plan is top-heavy for plan years beginning before
      January 1, 2002), both computed in accordance with Code
      section 416 and the regulations thereunder.  Both the
      numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio are increased to reflect
      any contribution not actually made as of the determination date, but which
      is required to be taken into account on that date under Code
      section 416 and the regulations
thereunder.

            

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              If
      the employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including
      any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and the employer maintains or has
      maintained one or more defined benefit plans that during the five-year
      period ending on the determination date(s) has or has had any accrued
      benefits, the top-heavy ratio for any required or permissive aggregation
      group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of
      account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans
      for all key employees, determined in accordance with (A) above, and
      the present value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit
      plan or plans for all key employees as of the determination date(s), and
      the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under the
      aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all participants,
      determined in accordance with (A) above, and the present value of
      accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all
      participants as of the determination date(s), all determined in accordance
      with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder.  The
      accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and
      denominator of the top-heavy ratio are increased for any distribution of
      an accrued benefit made in the one-year period ending on the determination
      date (five-year period in determining whether the plan is top-heavy for
      plan years beginning before
  January 1, 2002).

            

    

     

    The
accrued benefit of a participant other than a key employee shall be determined
under (1) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes
under all defined benefit plans maintained by the employer, or (2) 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 Code
section 411(b)(1)(C).

     

    TENTH:
Excess Elective Deferral Determination of Income or Loss

     

    Effective
for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2008,
Section 5.5(a)(6) is amended to eliminate the use of gap period interest
when determining the income or loss allocable to excess elective
deferrals.  As amended, Section 5.5(a)(6) shall read as
follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (6)

            	
              Determination of Income or
      Loss

            

    

     

    Excess
elective deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or loss.  The
income or loss allocable to excess elective deferrals allocated to each
participant is the sum of:  (i) the income or loss allocable to
the participant's elective deferral account(s) for the taxable year multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is such participant's excess elective
deferrals for the year and the denominator is the participant's account balance
attributable to elective deferrals without regard to any income or loss
occurring during such taxable year; and (ii) effective solely for the
taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2007, and to the extent
the excess elective deferrals are or will be credited with gain or loss as of an
accounting date within the gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the
taxable year and prior to the distribution), 10% of the amount determined under
(i) multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the end of the
taxable year and the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if
distribution occurs after the 15th of such month.

     

    ELEVENTH:
Actual Deferral Percentage Test Determination of Income or Loss

     

    Effective
for the plan year beginning on or after January 1, 2008,
Section 5.5(b)(2) is amended to eliminate the gap period income rule for
excess contributions in compliance with the changes made by PPA to Code
section 401(k)(8)(A)(i).  As amended, Section 5.5(b)(2)(A)
shall read as follows:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              Determination of Income or
      Loss – Excess contributions shall be adjusted for any income or
      loss.  The income or loss allocable to excess contributions
      allocated to each participant is the sum of:  (i) the
      income or loss allocable to the participant's elective deferral account(s)
      (and, if applicable, the qualified nonelective contribution account or the
      qualified employer matching contribution account or both) for the plan
      year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such
      participant's excess contributions for the year and the denominator is the
      participant's account balance(s) attributable to elective deferrals (and
      qualified nonelective contributions or qualified matching contributions,
      or both, if any of such contributions are included in the ADP test)
      without regard to any income or loss occurring during such plan year; and
      (ii) effective solely for the plan year beginning on or after
      January 1, 2006 and the plan year beginning on or after
      January 1, 2007, and to the extent the excess contributions are
      or will be credited with gain or loss as of an accounting date within the
      gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the plan year and prior to
      the distribution), 10% of the amount determined under (i) multiplied by
      the number of whole calendar months between the end of the plan year and
      the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if
      distribution occurs after the 15th of such
  month.

            

    

     

    TWELFTH:
Actual Contribution Percentage Test Determination of Income or Loss

     

    Effective
for the plan year beginning on or after January 1, 2008,
Section 5.5(c)(2) is amended to eliminate the gap period income rule for
excess aggregate contributions in compliance with the changes made by PPA to
Code section 401(m)(6)(A).  As amended, Section 5.5(c)(2)(A)
shall read as follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              Determination of Income or
      Loss – Excess aggregate contributions shall be adjusted for any
      income or loss.  The income or loss allocable to excess
      aggregate contributions allocated to each participant is the sum
      of:  (i) the income or loss allocable to the participant's
      employee nondeductible contribution account, employer matching
      contribution account (if any, and if all amounts therein are not used in
      the ADP test) and, if applicable, qualified nonelective contribution
      account and elective deferral account(s) for the plan year multiplied by a
      fraction, the numerator of which is such participant's excess aggregate
      contributions for the year and the denominator is the participant's
      account balance(s) attributable to contribution percentage amounts without
      regard to any income or loss occurring during such plan year; and
      (ii) effective solely for the plan year beginning on or after
      January 1, 2006 and the plan year beginning on or after
      January 1, 2007, and to the extent the excess contributions are
      or will be credited with gain or loss as of an accounting date within the
      gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the plan year and prior to
      the distribution), 10% of the amount determined under (i) multiplied by
      the number of whole calendar months between the end of the plan year and
      the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if
      distribution occurs after the 15th of such
  month.

            

    

     

    THIRTEENTH:
Protection of Benefits in Case of Plan Merger

     

    Section 7.3
is amended to comply with Revenue Ruling 2008-40 treating certain
trust-to-trust transfers as distributions.  As amended,
Section 7.3 shall contain an additional paragraph that shall read as
follows:

     

    The
transfer of amounts from this trust to a nonqualified foreign trust shall be
treated as a distribution from this plan.  Further, the transfer of
assets and liabilities from this plan to a plan that satisfies Puerto Rico Code
section 1165 shall also be treated as a distribution from this
plan.

     

    FOURTEENTH:

    These
amendments are effective as of January 1, 2009, except as otherwise
provided herein.

                  Retirement Savings Plan ("Plan") as amended and
                  restated effective January 1, 2009, the
                  employer, Weis Markets, Inc., hereby amends the
                  Plan to comply with the Workers Retirees and
                  Employers Relief Act of 2008 effective as of
                  January 1, 2009, and with other law and
                  regulatory changes effective as of, or prior to,
                  the 2011 plan year and now required to be
                  incorporated into the Plan. This amendment shall
                  supersede the provisions of the Plan to the
                  extent those provisions are inconsistent with the
                  provisions of this amendment. The employer hereby
                  amends the Plan in the following
                  manner:
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	FIRST:
                Exclusions From

	Section 1.2(b) is
                  amended to remove the compensation exclusion that
                  formerly applied to pharmacists. As amended,
                  Section 1.2(b) shall read as
                  follows:
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	(b)	Exclusions From

                  provisions of Section 1.2(a), the following
                  types of remuneration shall be excluded from the

	Section 3.2(c)(1) is
                  amended to change the regular profit sharing
                  allocation formula from a unit credit to a two
                  part discretionary formula permitting both flat
                  dollar allocations and in ratio to compensation
                  allocations each plan year. As amended,
                  Section 3.2(c)(1) shall read as
                  follows:
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	The employer shall make a
                  separate profit sharing contribution for the plan
                  year with respect to each allocation formula as
                  described below. The trustee shall be notified by
                  the employer in writing as to the amount being
                  contributed with respect to each formula.
                  Forfeitures for the plan year shall be allocated
                  under allocation formula (B) below. For this
                  purpose, the following allocation formulas shall
                  be used:
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	(A)	The employer profit
                  sharing contribution shall be allocated to the
                  profit sharing account of each eligible
                  participant in equal amounts, but not in excess
                  of the maximum permissible amount as defined in
                  Section 5.1(c).
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	(B)	The employer profit
                  sharing contribution and forfeitures for the plan
                  year shall be allocated to the profit sharing
                  account of each eligible participant in the ratio
                  that such participant's compensation bears to the
                  compensation of all participants.
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	THIRD:
                Employer Matching
                  Contribution Allocation Formula
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Effective
                  April 1, 2012, Section 3.6(d)(1)
                  is amended to change the employer matching
                  contribution allocation formula from a described
                  formula to a fully discretionary formula. As
                  amended, Section 3.6(d)(1) shall read as
                  follows:
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	(d)	(1)	Allocation Formula
                  – The employer matching contribution and
                  any applicable forfeitures shall be equal to the
                  employer matching percentage applied to the
                  participant's contributions for each allocation
                  period within the current plan year that are
                  subject to matching. The employer matching
                  percentage shall be determined each year by the
                  employer in its own discretion.
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	FOURTH:

	Section 5.3 is
                  amended to temporarily waive the minimum
                  distribution requirement to comply with Code

                  Retirees and Employers Relief Act of 2008.
                  As amended, the preamble of Section 5.3
                  shall contain an additional paragraph that shall
                  read as follows:
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	With respect to calendar
                  year 2009, the provisions of
                  Section 5.3 shall be applied subject to Code
                  section 401(a)(9)(H). Although the plan
                  administrator shall calculate any required
                  minimum distribution under Section 5.3 and
                  pay it separately to any participant or
                  beneficiary commencing distribution during 2009,

                  amount in a qualified employer plan or individual
                  retirement account. Any participant
                  (i) receiving required minimum distributions
                  as a non-5% owner who elected to continue such
                  distributions after January 1, 2003, or
                  (ii) receiving or due to commence such
                  distributions as a 5% owner shall not receive a
                  required minimum distribution with respect to
                  2009 in the absence of an affirmative election.
                  To the extent that a participant's entire
                  interest is otherwise required to be distributed
                  to a beneficiary by December 31 of the
                  calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of
                  the participant's death, such 5-year period shall
                  be determined without regard to calendar
                  year 2009.

                  Expenses
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Effective as of the
                  adoption of this amendment, Section 6.4(e) is
                  amended to provide that although the trust fund
                  may pay the reasonable expenses incurred in the
                  administration of the plan and the investment of
                  the fund, the precise handling of such expenses
                  shall be addressed outside of the plan document.
                  Further, certain expenses incurred with respect
                  to a particular participant or beneficiary may be
                  allocated against the participant's account on a
                  direct basis. As amended, Section 6.4(e)
                  shall read as follows:
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	The trust fund may pay the
                  expenses incurred in the administration of the
                  plan and the investment of the fund, provided the
                  cost is reasonable. Such expenses shall include
                  legal fees incurred by the plan administrator or
                  the trustee, provided such fiduciaries are not
                  proven to have committed a prohibited
                  transaction. If the trust fund pays the expenses,
                  the expenses generally shall be allocated against
                  the participant accounts on a pro rata basis.
                  Certain expenses incurred with respect to a
                  particular participant or beneficiary may be
                  allocated against the participant's account on a
                  direct basis. The plan administrator shall
                  communicate such expense charges to the
                  participant through a written notice.
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	SEVENTH:
                Effective
                  Date

                  otherwise provided herein.

                  the Plan remain in full force and
                  effect.
