         This matter came on before the above-entitled Court on April 21,2003
for a confirmation hearing on the Debtors' Second Amended Plan of
Reorganization, dated March 26, 2003 as modified by Debtors' Second Amended Plan
of Reorganization As Modified, dated April 18, 2003 ("Plan") and final approval
of the Supplemental Disclosure Statement approved conditionally on March 24,
2003 ("Supplemental Disclosure Statement"). A true and correct copy of the Plan
is attached hereto as Exhibit "1". The Plan was filed by Fitzgeralds Gaming
Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("FGC"), Fitzgeralds South, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("FSI"), Fitzgeralds Reno, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("FRI"),
Fitzgeralds Incorporated, a Nevada corporation ("FI"), Fitzgeralds Las Vegas,
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("FLVI"), Fitzgeralds Mississippi, Inc., a
Mississippi corporation ("FMI"), Fitzgeralds Black Hawk, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("FBHI"), Fitzgeralds Black Hawk II, Inc., a Colorado corporation
("FBHII"), 101 Main Street Limited Liability Company, a Colorado limited
liability company ("101Main") and Fitzgeralds Fremont Experience Corporation, a
Nevada corporation ("FFEC" and together with FGC, FSI, FRI, FI, FLVI, FMI, FBHI,

captioned jointly administered Chapter 11 proceeding.

Confirmation Of Debtors' Plan of Reorganization, and (3) Setting Confirmation
Hearing; Notice Of Confirmation ("Supplemental Disclosure Statement Order")
entered on March 26, 2003, the Court conditionally approved the Supplemental
Disclosure Statement To Accompany Debtors' Second Amended Plan of Reorganization
dated March 24, 2003, ("Supplemental Disclosure Statement"), to be read in
conjunction with Debtors' Initial Disclosure Statement Dated December 19, 2002
("Disclosure Statement"), related to the Plan and established certain procedures
and fixed certain deadlines related to the solicitation of votes on the Plan and
a Bar Date for the filing of Professional Fee applications and Administrative
Claims. Following the Court's entry of the Supplemental Disclosure Statement
Order, Plan solicitation packages (in the form approved by the Court), including
the Supplemental Disclosure Statement, Ballots and Disclosure Statement were
timely transmitted to the Creditors and other parties-in-interest, and the
Supplemental Disclosure Statement to holders of Equity Interests, all in
accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3017(d) and the Supplemental Disclosure
Statement Order.

         2.       The Court finds that the Plan differs from the Debtors' Second
Amended Plan of Reorganization Dated March 26, 2003 with respect to the
treatment of the Claims of Scout Development Corporation ("Scout"), the Claims
(if any) of the Internal Revenue Service and the acceptance (versus previous
rejection) of the executory contracts and leases relating to the Parking Garage
as reflected on Schedule 7.1 to the Plan. The Court finds that these
modifications comply with the requirements of Sections 1122 and 1123 of the Code
and does not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Creditor or
holder of an Equity Interest. As such, all votes to accept or reject the
Debtors' Second Amended Plan of Reorganization Dated March 26,2003, are deemed
to have similarly accepted or rejected the Plan.

         3.       Based upon the stipulation ("Scout Stipulation") by and
between Debtors, the Informal Committee and Scout, the Motion to Allow Claim of
Scout Development Corporation for Purposes of Voting on Debtor's [sic] Proposed
Second Amended Plan of Reorganization

("Scout Motion") is granted subject to the terms of the Scout Stipulation and
Scout's votes on the Plan are changed in accordance with the terms of the Scout
Stipulation.

         4.       The voting on the Plan is summarized in the Debtors'
Certification Of Acceptance Or Rejection Of Debtors' Second Amended Plan of
Reorganization (Ballot Summary) filed by the Debtors on April 17, 2003. On April
21, 2003 the Debtors filed the Plan, modifying the Second Amended Plan. At the
Confirmation Hearing, Holiday Franchising Inc. changed its vote, of its Class 8
Claim in the amount of $1,574,316.50, to a vote accepting the Plan. At the
Confirmation Hearing, Scout changed its vote with respect to a $500,000 Class 8
Claim to a vote accepting the Plan.

         5.       On April 21, 2003, the Court conducted a hearing regarding
final approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan, at
which time the Court considered:

                  a)       The Plan;

                  b)       The Amended Plan Supplement to Debtors' Second
         Amended Plan of Reorganization;

                  c)       The Disclosure Statement;

                  d)       The Supplemental Disclosure Statement;

                  e)       Debtors' Confirmation Brief In Support Of
         Confirmation Of Debtors' Second Amended Plan of Reorganization and
         Debtors' Reply To Scout Development Corporation's And Jerome Turk's
         Objections To Debtors' Second Amended Plan of Reorganization
         ("Confirmation Brief");

                  f)       The Declaration of Michael E. McPherson In Support of
         Debtors' Confirmation Brief ("McPherson Declaration")

                  g)       The Ballot Report;

                  j)       The Scout Motion;

                  k)       Objection of Jerome Turk and the Jerome H. and Carol
         Turk Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust Dated April 22, 1996 to
         Confirmation of Second Amended Plan of Reorganization; and

including the term sheet relating to Scout's secured and unsecured Claims a
proffer of testimony of Michael McPherson regarding a settlement among the
Debtors, Scout and the Informal committee, and additional pleadings filed by
parties in interest and counsel.

         4.       The Court also considered the prior testimony evidence
presented in this Chapter 11 Case and the entire record before the Court.

         5.       At the conclusion of the Confirmation Hearing, the Court
determined the following:

                  A.       The modifications of the Debtors' Second Amended Plan
         of Reorganization Dated March 26, 2003 as contained in the Plan are

                  C.       The Debtors have complied with the applicable
         provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code as required by 11
         U.S.C. Section 1129(a)(2);

                  D.       The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by
         any means forbidden by law as required by 11 U.S.C. Section 1129(a)(3);

                  E.       Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors or by
         any person issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plan, for
         services or for costs and expenses in or connected with this Chapter 11
         Case, or in connection with the Plan, and incident to the Chapter 11

         as reasonable as required by 11 U.S.C. Section 1129(a)(4);

                  F.       The Debtors have disclosed the identity and
         affiliation of any individual proposed to serve, after confirmation of
         the Plan, as a director, officer or voting trustee of the Debtors or a
         successor to the Debtors under the Plan; the appointment to or
         continuance in, such office of such individual is consistent with the
         interest of Creditors and Equity Interest holders and with public
         policy; the Debtors have disclosed the identity of any insider that
         will be employed or retained by the Reorganized Debtors, and the nature
         of any compensation for such insider as required by 11 U.S.C. Section
         1129(a)(5);

                  G.       11 U.S.C. Sections 1129(a)(6) and (13) are
         inapplicable to the Debtors and the Reorganization Cases;

                  H.       With respect to each impaired Class of Claims or

                           i.       Each holder of a Claim or Equity Interest of
                  each Class has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain
                  under the Plan on account of such Claim or Equity Interest
                  property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan,
                  that is not less than the amount that such holder would so

                  7 of Title 11 on such date; or

                           ii.      If Section 1111(b)(2) of Title 11 applies to
                  the Claims of such Class, each holder of a Claim of such Class
                  will receive and retain under the Plan on account of such

         that is not less than the value of such holder's interest in the
Estates' interest in the property that secures such Claims, all as set forth in
11 U.S.C. Section 1129(a)(7);

                  I.       Classes 1,2,3,4, 5 and 7 are unimpaired under the
         Plan;

                  J.       Classes 6, 8, and 9 are impaired under the Plan and
         have accepted the Plan;

                  K.       Class 10 is impaired under the Plan and is deemed to
         have rejected the Plan;

                  L.       Classes 11, 12, 13 and 14 are impaired under the
         Plan, and by virtue of receiving nothing under the Plan, the holders of
         Subsidiary Equity Interests, Old FGC Preferred Stock. FSI Warrant
         Claims and Old FGC Common Stock are deemed to have rejected the Plan,
         all as required by 11 U.S.C. Section 1129(a)(8);

                  M.       Section 5.5 of the Plan is hereby amended to reflect
         the correct treatment of Class 11-Subsidiary Equity Interest, as
         follows:

                           i.       All Subsidiary Equity Interests (except as
                  otherwise provided in Sections 6.1.4, 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 in the
                  Plan) and the FSI Equity Interest shall be canceled and
                  terminated without any further act or action under any
                  applicable agreement, law, regulation, order or rule.

                  N.       Except to the extent that a holder of a particular
         Claim has agreed to a different treatment of such Claim, the Plan
         provides that:

                           i.       With respect to a Claim of a kind specified
                  in 11 U.S.C. Sections 507(a)(l) or 507(a)(2), on the Effective
                  Date of the Plan the holder of such Claim will receive on
                  account of such Claim, cash equal to the allowed amount of
                  such Claim;

                           ii.      With respect to a Class of Claims of a kind
                  specified in 11 U.S.C. Sections 507(a)(3), 507(a)(4),
                  507(a)(5), 507(a)(6), or 507(a)(7), each holder of a Claim

                  of such Class will receive if such Class has accepted the
                  Plan, deferred cash payments of a value, as of the Effective
                  Date equal to the allowed amount of such Claim, or if such
                  Class has not accepted the Plan, cash on the Effective Date
                  equal to the allowed amount of such Claims; and

                  iii.     With respect to a Claim of a kind specified in 11
                  U.S.C. Section 507(a)(8), the holder of such Claim will
                  receive on account of such Claim, deferred cash payments, over
                  a period not exceeding six (6) years after the date of
                  assessment of such Claim, of a value, as of the Effective Date
                  equal to the allowed amount of such Claim as required by 11
                  U.S.C. Section 1129(a)(9).

                  o.       The Objection filed by IRS has been resolved by
         modification to the Plan.

                  P.       The Objection filed by Scout has been resolved by the
         Scout Stipulation evidenced by the amended treatment of Scout's Claim
         in the Plan.

                  Q.       The Objection of Turk is denied.

                  R.       At least one Class of Claims that is impaired under
         the Plan has accepted the Plan, determined without including any
         acceptance of the Plan by any insider as required by 11 U.S.C. Section
         1129(a)(l0);

                  S.       Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed
         by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of
         the Debtor or any successor to the Debtors under the Plan, if
         applicable, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in
         the Plan as required by 11 U.S.C. Section 1129(a)(11); and

                  T.       All fees payable under 28 U.S.C. Section 1930 as
         determined by the Court have been paid or the Plan provides for the
         payment of all such fees on the Effective Date as required by 11 U.S.C.
         Section 1129(a)(12).

         6.       Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding under 28
U.S.C. Section 157(b)(2). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sections 157(b) and 1334, this
Court has the jurisdiction to enter a Final Order confirming the Plan.

         7.       At the request of Debtors the Court finds that all of the
applicable requirements of Section 1129(a) of the Code have been met other than
paragraph (8) with regard to Classes 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. The Court further
finds that the Plan does not discriminate unfairly, and is fair and equitable
with respect to each such Class and that no holder of any claim or interest that
is junior to the Claims or Equity Interests of any such Class will receive or
retain under the Plan on account of such junior Claim or Equity Interest any
property of the Estate as required by Section 1129(b) of the Code for approval
of the Plan despite such Classes having not accepted the Plan.

         8.       After hearings on due and proper notice, the Court has
determined that the Plan hereby satisfies the requirements for Confirmation set
forth in 11 U.S.C. Sections 1129(a).

         Based on the foregoing findings and conclusions, and the entire record
before the Court; and good cause appearing,

         IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

         A.       The Supplemental Disclosure Statement shall be, and hereby is,
approved. The modifications of the Second Amended Plan contained in the Plan do
not require any resolicitation of creditors or other parties in interest.
Pursuant to 11 U.S.C Section 1127, all votes of creditors accepting the Second
Amended Plan are hereby deemed to be votes in favor of the Plan.

         B.       The Plan shall be, and hereby is, confirmed pursuant to 11
U.S.C. Section 1129. The terms of the Plan and the exhibits thereto contained in
the Plan Supplement are approved in substance and are by reference incorporated
into this Confirmation Order. Any and all modifications to the Plan and Plan
Supplement documents as referenced above shall be, and hereby are, approved.

contract or unexpired lease.

         D.       Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections l05(a) and 1123(b)(3) and

Plan, are fair, equitable, reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors
and their estates and holders of Claims and Equity Interests, and are intended
to have the benefits of Fed. R. Evid. 408 and similar state-law provisions.

         E.       The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and all other necessary
parties are authorized and empowered in accordance with 11 U.S.C. Section 1123,
without further Court order, to execute and deliver any instrument, security,
agreement or document, and to perform any act, that is necessary, desirable, or
required for the consummation of the Plan.

         F.       Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 1145, except with respect to an
entity that is an underwriter as defined in Section 1145(b), Section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933 and any state or local law requiring registration for
offer or sale of a security or registration or licensing of an issuer of,
underwriter of, or broker or dealer in a security, do not apply to the

3.       DESIGNATION OF CLASSES OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS

Bankruptcy Code, all Claims of Creditors and the holders of Equity Securities
(except Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Preserved Ordinary Course
Administrative Claims) are placed in the Classes described below. A Claim or
Equity Security is classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the
Claim or Equity Security qualifies within the description of that Class and is
classified in other Classes only to the extent that any remainder of the Claim
or Equity Security qualifies within the description of such other Classes. A
Claim is also classified in a particular Class only to the extent that such
Claim is an Allowed Claim in that Class and has not been paid, released or
otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date. With respect to Classes of
Claims described as unimpaired under the Plan, except as otherwise provided
under this Plan, nothing shall affect the rights and legal and equitable
defenses of the Estates and Reorganized Debtors regarding such Claims classified
as unimpaired under this Plan, including but not limited to, all rights in
respect of legal and equitable defenses to setoff or recoupment against such
Claims.

requirement of further action by the stockholders or directors of the Debtors
and Reorganized Debtors. As of the Effective Date, the term of each of the
officers and directors of the Debtors not continuing in office, if any, shall
terminate pursuant to the Confirmation Order without any further action by the
stockholders or directors of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors.

         6.5.     DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. On the Effective Date, the operation

the Confirmation Date until the Effective Date, but not beyond the Effective
Date, all the existing outside directors of Debtors will continue to be
compensated at their present levels for so long as they continue to serve as
directors of Debtors.

         6.6.     INFORMAL COMMITTEE. Any consent, waiver or other action

7.       EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

         7.1.     EXECUTORY CONTRACTS. On the Effective Date, FRI shall assume
the Reno Garage Lease. All executory contracts and unexpired leases that both
exist on the Confirmation Date and are set forth on the schedule of assumed
executory contracts and unexpired leases attached to this Plan as Schedule 7.1,
shall be deemed assumed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor on the Effective
Date. Except for the Reno Garage Lease, Schedule 7.1 may be modified by the
Debtors at the direction of the Informal Committee up to the Effective Date,
with notice to the non-debtor party to the contract affected by such
modification.

         7.2.     APPROVAL OF ASSUMPTION OR REJECTION. Entry of the Confirmation
Order shall constitute as of the Effective Date: (i) approval, pursuant to
Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a), of the assumption by the applicable Reorganized
Debtor of each executory contract and unexpired lease listed on Schedule 7.1,
and (ii) authorization for the Reorganized Debtors to reject each executory
contract and unexpired lease to which any of the Debtors are parties and which
is not listed on Schedule 7.1 and neither assumed, assumed and assigned nor
rejected by separate order prior to the Effective Date. Unless they file an
objection to the assumption prior to the Confirmation Hearing, each counterparty
to an executory contract or unexpired lease on Schedule 7.1 shall be deemed to
have consented to such assumption. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, up to the Confirmation Date the Debtors, at the direction of the
Informal Committee, shall add to or delete from Schedule 7.1 any executory
contract or unexpired lease.

         7.3.     CURE OF DEFAULTS. Unless they file an objection to the
assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant to
Section 7.1 of this Plan prior to the Confirmation Hearing specifically
asserting a required cure payment, each executory contract or unexpired lease
listed on Schedule 7.1 may be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors without the
payment of any cure amount. The applicable Reorganized Debtor shall Cure any
defaults respecting each executory contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant
to Section 7.1 of this Plan upon the latest of (i) the Effective Date or as soon
thereafter as practicable; (ii) such dates as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy
Court or agreed upon by the Debtors, with the consent of the Informal Committee
and after the Effective Date, the applicable Reorganized Debtor; or (iii) the
tenth (10th) Business Day after the entry of a Final Order resolving any dispute
regarding (a) a Cure amount; (b) the ability of the applicable Reorganized
Debtor to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" under the executory
contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Plan in accordance with
Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code; or (c) any matter pertaining to

Debtors of the (a)

         7.7.     INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. Any obligations of the Debtors to
indemnify any officer, director or employee serving as a fiduciary of any
employee benefit plan or program of the Debtors, pursuant to charter, by-laws,

an executory contract and rejected by Debtors on the Effective Date.

8.       MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY UNDER THIS PLAN

         8.1      SURRENDER OF SECURITIES OR DEBT INSTRUMENTS. On or before the
Distribution Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, each Noteholder shall
surrender the Notes evidencing its Allowed Noteholder Deficiency Claim to the
Indenture Trustee as the Disbursing Agent for the Class 6 and 9 Claims. No
distribution of property hereunder shall be made to or on behalf of any such
Noteholder unless and until the Notes are delivered to the Indenture Trustee or
the unavailability of such Notes is reasonably established to the satisfaction
of Reorganized FGC. In the event any Noteholder seeks to establish the
unavailability of the Note evidencing such Allowed Noteholder Deficiency Claim,
Reorganized FGC shall, within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the
Noteholder's evidence of unavailability and statement of indemnity of
Reorganized FGC, (i) provide the Noteholder, in writing, with a detailed
description regarding the rejection of such evidence and statement of indemnity;
or (ii) deliver to the Indenture Trustee a notice of compliance and distribute
to such Noteholder any amounts distributable from Reorganized FGC. Any such
Noteholder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Notes or fails
to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to Reorganized FGC prior to the second anniversary of the Effective
Date, shall be deemed to have forfeited all rights and claims in respect of such
Notes and shall not participate in any distribution hereunder, and all property
in respect of such forfeited distribution, including interest accrued thereon,
shall revert to Reorganized FGC notwithstanding any federal or state escheat
laws to the contrary.

         8.2      DISTRIBUTION RECORD DATE. At the close of business on the
Distribution Record Date, the transfer ledgers of the Indenture Trustee shall be
closed, and there shall be no further changes to the record of Noteholders.
Reorganized FGC and the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to reorganize
any transfer of such Notes occurring after the Distribution Record Date. The
Indenture Trustee and Reorganized FGC shall be entitled instead to recognize and
deal for all purposes hereunder with only those Noteholders stated on the
transfer ledgers as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

         8.3      DELIVERY OF DISTRIBUTIONS. Distribution of property shall be
made by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders at the addresses contained in the
official records of the Indenture Trustee. If

any Noteholder's distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further
distributions to such Noteholder shall be made unless and until the Indenture
Trustee and Reorganized FGC are notified of such Noteholder's then current
address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such Noteholder
without interest. Undeliverable distributions shall be returned to the Indenture
Trustee until such distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable
distributions shall be made on or before the second anniversary of the Effective
Date. After such date, all unclaimed property shall revert to Reorganized FGC
and the claim of any Noteholder or successor to such Noteholder with respect to
such property shall be discharged and forever barred notwithstanding any federal
or state escheat laws to the contrary.

         8.4      CASH OPTION FOR BONDHOLDERS. Each holder of a Class 6 and
Class 9 Claim may indicate on its Ballot its election to receive a cash
distribution in lieu of distributions of New Common Stock. Any such electing
holder shall, in lieu of all distributions that it would otherwise be entitled
to receive pursuant to Section 5.1.1(c) and 5.3.1, receive $30.00 per $1000 face
amount of Notes owned by such holder. The New Common Stock that would have been
distributed to such electing holders shall instead be sold pursuant to the
Commitment Agreement.

         soon as practical after the order allowing the Claim has become a Final
         Order. The balance of the amount held by the Disbursing Agent after

release or other agreement entered into in connection with this Plan or in any
document which remains unaltered by this Plan, the rights, duties and
obligations of the Debtors and any other Person arising under this Plan shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of
the State of Nevada without giving effect to Nevada's choice of law provisions.

         13.8.    MODIFICATION OF PAYMENT TERMS. Reorganized Debtors reserve the
right to modify the treatment of any Allowed Claim in any manner adverse only to
the holder of such Allowed Claim at any time after the Effective Date upon the
prior written consent of the holder whose Allowed Claim treatment is being
adversely affected.

         13.9.    PROVIDING FOR CLAIMS PAYMENTS. Except for the Indenture
Trustee and Noteholders in Classes 6 and 9, distributions to holders of Allowed
Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent: (i) at the addresses set forth on
the proofs of Claim filed by such holders (or at the last known addresses of
such holders if no proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtor has been notified of
a change of address); (ii) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of
address changes delivered to the Disbursing Agent after the date of any related
proof of Claim; or (iii) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof
of Claim has been filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written
notice of a change of address. If any holder's distribution is returned as
undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and
until the Disbursing Agent is notified of such holder's then current address, at
which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without
interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions made through the
Disbursing Agent shall be returned to Reorganized Debtors until such
distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions shall be
made on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date. After such date,
all unclaimed property shall revert to Reorganized Debtors and the Claim of any
holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property shall be
discharged and forever barred notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws
to the contrary. Nothing contained in this Plan shall require the Debtors,
Reorganized Debtors or the Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any holder of
an Allowed Claim.

         13.10.   SET OFFS. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may, but
shall not be required to, set off or recoup against any Claim and the payments
or other distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan in respect of such Claim
(before any distribution is made on account of such Claim), claims of any nature
whatsoever that the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtors may have against
the holder of such Claim to the extent such Claims may be set off or recouped
under applicable law, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any
Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors of any such claim that it may have against such holder.

         13.12.   STATUTORY COMMITTEE. Any Statutory Committee appointed in the
Chapter 11 Cases shall terminate on the Effective Date and shall thereafter have
no further responsibilities in respect of the Chapter 11 Cases, except with
respect to preparation of filing of applications for compensation and
reimbursement of expenses.

         13.13.   SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Plan is determined by
the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable or this Plan is
determined to be not confirmable pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtors shall have the power
to alter and interpret such term to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum
extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or
provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision
shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such
holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions
of this Plan shall remain in full force and effect and will in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation.
The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall
provide that each term and provision of this Plan, as it may have been altered
or interpreted in accordance with the foregone, is valid and enforceable
pursuant to its terms.

         13.14.   WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. In connection with
this Plan and all instruments and securities issued in connection therewith and

imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all
distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting
requirements. The Reorganized Debtors or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may
be, shall be

authorized to take any and all action that may be necessary to comply with such
withholding and recording requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Plan, each holder of an Allowed Claim that has received a distribution
pursuant to this Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the
satisfaction or payment of any tax obligation imposed by any governmental unit,
including income, withholding and other tax obligation on account of such
distribution.

decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with
the post-confirmation reporting requirements found in Local Rule 3020.
Additionally, to the extent required, the Reorganized Debtors shall file
post-confirmation quarterly operating reports as required by the United States
Trustee Guidelines, para 7.2.

         13.16.   CRAMDOWN. In the event that any impaired Class is determined
to have rejected this Plan in accordance with Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Debtors will invoke the provisions of Section 1129(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code to satisfy the requirements for confirmation of this Plan. The
Debtors reserve the right to modify this Plan to the extent, if any, that
Confirmation pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires
modification.

         13.17.   QUARTERLY FEES TO THE UNITED STATES TRUSTEE. Prior to the
Effective Date, Debtors, and after the Effective Date the Reorganized Debtors
shall pay all quarterly fees payable to the Office of the United States Trustee
for the Debtors after Confirmation, consistent with applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules.

      2.1 Method of Deferral.

Each Eligible Executive may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of
his/her Gainsharing Award and/or the entirety of any of his/her Restricted Stock
Awards in respect of any Plan Year by signing a Deferral Agreement and
delivering it to the Committee or by completing a Deferral Agreement and

payable in the same Plan Year, shall be subject to the same Deferral Agreement.
Any taxes or other amounts due with respect to any deferred Gainsharing Award or
Restricted Stock Award shall be paid by the Eligible Executive to the Company no
later than the date specified by the Company.

      2.2 Deferral Agreement Provisions.

Each Deferral Agreement must satisfy all of the following requirements:

         (a)      it must be in the form specified by the Committee;

         (b)      it must be delivered in writing, or transmitted
                  electronically, to the Committee in accordance with such
                  procedures as the Committee may establish from time to time.

         (c)      it must be irrevocable;

                  one such Award;

                  during the Plan Year, or both;

                                      -4-

                  as to each Gainsharing Award, prior to the Plan Year in which
                  the Gainsharing Award will be earned, and (ii) as to each
                  Restricted Stock Award, prior to the date the Restricted Stock

         (g)      as to deferrals of Gainsharing Awards, it must specify the
                  percentage of the Eligible Executive's Gainsharing Award to be
                  deferred, which percentage shall not be less than ten percent
                  (10%). The same deferral percentage shall apply to each
                  installment of a Gainsharing Award covered by the Deferral
                  Agreement. However, a Deferral Agreement may provide for the
                  deferral of a percentage of that portion of a Gainsharing
                  Award that exceeds a specified gross dollar amount, which
                  percentage shall not be less than ten percent (10%).
                  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section
                  2.2(g), no Deferral shall be less than such dollar amount as
                  the Committee may specify from time to time;

                  Restricted Stock Award granted during the Plan Year, or both;

         (i)      it must specify whether the balance of the Deferral Account to
                  be established pursuant to that Deferral Agreement will be
                  distributed in a lump sum, in three (3) annual installments,
                  in five (5) annual installments, or in ten (10) annual
                  installments; and

         (j)      it must contain such other provisions, conditions and
                  limitations as may be required by the Company or the
                  Committee.

      2.3 Fixed Deferral Periods.

If an Eligible Executive wishes to defer receipt of all or a portion of any
Award for a fixed period of time ("Fixed Deferral Period"), then his/her
Deferral Agreement relating to such Award shall specify that Fixed Deferral
Period. Such Fixed Deferral Period shall not be less than three (3) years
following (i) in the case of a deferral of all or a portion of a Gainsharing
Award, the end of the Plan Year in which the Gainsharing Award will be earned
and (ii) in the case of a deferral of a Restricted Stock Award, the end of the
Plan Year in which the last of the restrictions applicable to the Restricted
Stock Award expire, and, as to all Awards, shall end on the date the Eligible
Executive attains age 43, 47, 51, 55 or 59, as elected by the Eligible Executive
in his/her Deferral Agreement. In the case of a Restricted Stock Award as to
which restrictions expire in installments, the Fixed Deferral Period must end on
the same date for all installments. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of
this Section 2.3, Eligible Executives may not elect a Fixed Deferral Period with
respect to the deferral of any Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award.

                          DISTRIBUTIONS AND WITHDRAWALS

      3.1    Date of Distribution.

Distribution of the balance of each Deferral Account of a Participant shall be
made or shall commence within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (i) the
date a Distribution Event occurs, (ii) the date on which the Fixed Deferral
Period, if any, applicable to such Account expires, or (iii) the date, if any,
selected by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 9.2. If
distribution is to be made in installments, payment of installments following
the first installment shall be made within thirty (30) days following each
anniversary of the date referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding
sentence, as applicable, until all installments have been paid. The Committee,
in its sole discretion, may also permit distribution of the balance of all of a
Participant's Deferral Accounts to be made or commence at any time following the
date the Participant is determined by the Committee to be Disabled. If the
Committee approves such a Disability distribution, no further Deferrals shall be
made with respect to the Disabled Participant following the date of the
Committee's approval, and each Deferral Agreement to which such Participant is a
party shall be of no further effect.

      3.2    Method of Distribution.

Each distribution of the balance of a Deferral Account shall be made to the
Participant, except that any such distribution made on account of the
Participant's death shall be made to the Participant's Beneficiary. Each
distribution made on account of the Participant's death, termination of the Plan
or a Change in Control shall be paid in a lump sum. Each distribution made on
account of the Participant's Termination of Employment or expiration of a Fixed
Deferral Period shall be paid in either a lump sum or installments, as specified
in the applicable Deferral Agreement. Each distribution made on account of the
Participant's Disability shall be paid in either a lump sum or installments, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. If a Participant elects to
receive (or, in the case of Disability, begins receiving) payment in
installments and dies prior to payment of all installments, the balance
remaining unpaid at his/her death shall be paid to his/her Beneficiary in a lump
sum. Installment payments shall be paid in three (3) annual installments, in
five (5) annual installments or in ten (10) annual installments, as specified in
the applicable Deferral Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of
this Section 3.2, a Participant may elect to change the method of distribution
elected in respect of any distribution to be made on account of Termination of
Employment or expiration of a Fixed Deferral Period to any of the four
permissible options (lump sum, in three (3) annual installments, in five (5)
annual installments or in ten (10) annual installments). Each such change must
be made in writing on such forms as the Committee shall specify and must be
delivered to the Committee at least one (1) year prior to Termination of
Employment or expiration of the Fixed Deferral Period.

      3.3    Amount of Distribution.

The amount of each lump sum payment shall be equal to the balance of the
Deferral Account, as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of
distribution. The amount of each installment payment shall be equal to the
balance of the Deferral Account as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding
the date of payment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and
the denominator of which is the number of years remaining in the period over
which installments are to be paid. Installment distributions to be made in Stock
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, all distributions, except those made on account of a
Change in Control, are subject to the Deduction Limitation.

      3.4    Form of Distribution.

All distributions shall be made in cash, except that a distribution representing
amounts invested in the Company Stock Fund shall be made in Stock with any
fractional shares of Stock to be made in cash.

      3.5    Withdrawal Election.

A Participant may elect at any time to withdraw all of his/her Deferral Account
balances, less a withdrawal penalty equal to 10% of such amount (the net amount
shall be referred to as the "Withdrawal Amount"). This election can be made at
any time before or after Disability, death or Termination of Employment, and
whether or not the Participant is in the process of being paid pursuant to an
installment payment schedule. No partial withdrawals of the Withdrawal Amount
shall be allowed. The Withdrawal Amount shall be paid in a lump sum, except to
the extent the Deduction Limitation requires otherwise. The Participant shall
make a withdrawal election by giving the Committee advance written notice of the
election in a form specified by the Committee. The election shall be
irrevocable. The Participant shall be paid (or, if the Deduction Limitation
applies, commence to be paid) the Withdrawal Amount within 30 days after the
Committee's receipt of his/her election. Once the Withdrawal Amount is paid, or
commences to be paid, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall
terminate and the Participant shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan
thereafter. If the Deduction Limitation applies, the entire balance of all of
the Participant's Deferral Accounts shall be reduced by the 10% withdrawal
penalty effective on the date that payment of the Withdrawal Amount is to
commence, even though final payment of the last portion of the Withdrawal Amount
will not be made until permitted by the Deduction Limitation provisions. Any
portion of the Withdrawal Amount not paid immediately shall continue to be
deemed to be invested as provided in Article 5. If a Participant dies prior to
payment of any portion of a Withdrawal Amount, the remaining portion shall be
paid to his/her Beneficiary in a lump sum, subject to the Deduction Limitation.
The provisions of Section 3.4 shall apply to all withdrawals under this Section
3.5.

                                    ACCOUNTS

      4.1    Establishment of Deferral Accounts.

The Committee shall establish a Deferral Account in the name of each Participant
for each Gainsharing Award, or portion thereof, and each Restricted Stock Award
that is the subject of a Deferral Agreement. As to Deferrals of Gainsharing
Awards, each such Account shall be established as of the first date that such
Gainsharing Award, or portion thereof, otherwise would have been paid to the
Participant. As to deferrals of Restricted Stock Awards, each such Account shall
be established as of the date that the restrictions applicable to such
Restricted Stock Award expire. In the case of a Restricted Stock Award as to
which the restrictions expire at different times for different portions of the
Award, such Account shall be established as of the date the first of such
restrictions expires. Each Deferral Account shall be credited with the deferred
portion of such Award at the time the Account is established, or, in the case of
a Restricted Stock Award as to which the restrictions expire at different times
for different portions of the Award, from time-to-time as such restrictions
expire. Thereafter, all Deferral Accounts shall be valued and administered as
provided in this Article. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary,
the Trustee may combine two (2) or more of any Participant's Deferral Accounts
into a single Account, if the Deferral Accounts to be combined (i) are subject
to Fixed Deferral Periods ending on the same date or (ii) are not subject to
Fixed Deferral Periods at all.

      4.2    Investment of Accounts.

All credits to a Deferral Account of a Participant shall be deemed to be
invested in such Investment Fund or Funds as the Participant shall elect from
time to time in accordance with Article 5. The number of shares of Stock to be
credited to a Participant's Account by virtue of a Participant's initial
election to invest a portion of a Deferral in the Company Stock Fund shall be
determined on the date of the Deferral in accordance with such procedures as the
Committee shall establish, based on the weighted average price paid for all
shares of Stock purchased by the Trustee and deposited in the Trust on that date
pursuant to Article 6. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section
4.2 all credits to a Deferral Account of a Participant relating to a deferred
Restricted Stock Award shall be deemed to be invested in the Company Stock Fund
until six (6) months and one (1) day following the expiration of the
restrictions applicable to such Award, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at or after the deferral of such Award. Thereafter, the preceding
provisions of this Section 4.2 shall apply.

      4.3    Valuation of Investment Funds.

As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall compute the value of each
Investment Fund from which shall be determined the net gain or loss of such
Investment Fund since the immediately preceding Valuation Date. The net gain or
loss shall include any unrealized and realized profits and losses, and any
dividends, interest or other income and any expenses which are due or accrued,
but shall not include distributions from such Investment Fund. In determining
the value of each Investment Fund, the Trustee shall use the following values:

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

securities listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange shall be
valued at the closing price reported on any such exchange on the Valuation Date,
or, if there were no sales on the Valuation Date, then at the last quoted bid
price on the Valuation Date. Securities not listed on a recognized securities
exchange shall be valued at the last quoted closing bid price on the Valuation
Date. A unit of participation in a common trust fund maintained by the Trustee
or a share in a mutual fund shall be valued at the unit value, or share price
respectively, in effect at the close of business on the Valuation Date.
Securities with respect to which there were no available sale prices or bid
prices on the Valuation Date, and any other investments, shall be valued at
prices deemed by the Trustee to represent the fair market value thereof on the
Valuation Date.

      4.4    Valuation of Accounts.

As of each Valuation Date, the net gain or loss of each Investment Fund shall be
allocated among the appropriate Deferral Accounts in accordance with such
procedures as the Committee shall establish, which procedures shall apply
uniformly to all Participants.

      4.5    Nature of Accounts.

All credits to each Deferral Account of each Participant shall be recorded as a
liability on the books of the Company. However, no Participant or Beneficiary
shall have any proprietary rights of any nature with respect to any Account of
any Participant or with respect to any funds, securities or other property owned
by the Company or any Affiliated Company that is held in the Trust or that
otherwise may be represented from time to time by Investment Funds. All payments
under the Plan shall be made from the Trust or from the Company's general funds
and in no event shall any Participant or Beneficiary have any claims or rights
to any payment hereunder that are superior to any claims or rights of any
general creditor of the Company.

      4.6    Account Statements.

The Committee will furnish each Participant, or make available to each
Participant on-line, periodic statements of the value of each of his/her
Deferral Accounts.

      5.2    Investment Elections of Participants.

Each Participant shall make an investment election in the manner prescribed by
the Committee, directing the manner in which his/her Deferrals shall be deemed
to be invested. Each investment election must be made at the time the applicable
Deferral Agreement is signed and may be changed upon notice to the Committee at
any time prior to the deemed deposit of the applicable Deferral into one or more
Investment Funds. Such elections and notices to the Committee must be made in
writing or through the Company's electronic mail system in accordance with such
procedures as the Committee may prescribe. Each Participant may make a separate
investment election for each of his/her Deferral Accounts. Each investment
election shall specify that Deferrals shall be deemed to be deposited in one or
more of the Investment Funds in percentages that are each an integral multiple
of 1% and that in the aggregate equal 100% of the Deferral.

      5.3 Transfers. Amounts deemed to be invested in an Investment Fund
pursuant to this Section may be transferred to another Investment Fund in
accordance with such procedures and limitations as the Committee shall
prescribe. The procedures and limitations prescribed by the Committee may
include, without limitation, provisions which (i) limit transfers to specified
dollar amounts or percentages (ii) limit the number of transfers that each
Participant may make each Plan year (iii) limit the dates as of which transfers
may become effective and (iv) impose waiting periods or other restrictions in
connection with multiple transfers in and out of the same Investment Fund. All
such procedures and limitations shall apply uniformly to similarly situated
Participants.

      5.4 Special Rule for Restricted Stock Awards. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of this Article 5, each Deferral of a Restricted Stock
Award shall be deemed to be invested in the Company Stock Fund until six (6)
months and one (1) day following the date the restrictions applicable to such
Restricted Stock Award expire, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at
or after the deferral of such Award. Thereafter, the Participant may transfer
all or a portion of such Deferral to another Investment Fund in accordance with
the preceding provisions of this Article 5.

      5.5    Nature of Investment Funds.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan, Trust or any Deferral Agreement to the
contrary, no Participant shall have any rights or interests in any particular
funds, securities or property of the Company, any Affiliated Company or the
Trust, or in any investment vehicle in which Deferrals are deemed to be
invested, by virtue of any investment election made by the Participant under the
Plan, any deemed investment under the Plan or any transactions engaged in by the
Trust. Each Deferral Account, however, shall be credited/charged in accordance
with Article 4 with gains/losses as if the Participant in fact had made a
corresponding actual investment.

      5.6    Liquidation of Investment Funds.

If any Investment Fund is liquidated or otherwise ceases to exist without a
successor, then that portion of each Account balance that previously has been
deemed to have been invested in that Investment Fund shall be deemed to have
been transferred to an

                                      -10-

Investment Fund consisting of money market instruments, or, if none, such other

days following the end of each Plan Year ending after the Trust has become
irrevocable pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Company shall be required to
irrevocably deposit additional cash or other property to the Trust in an amount
sufficient to pay each Participant or Beneficiary the benefits payable pursuant
to the terms of the Plan as of the close of that Plan year.

The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, shall be held separate and
apart from other funds of Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and
purposes of Plan Participants and general creditors of the Company as set forth
herein and in the Trust Agreement. Plan Participants and their Beneficiaries
shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any
assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan and the Trust Agreement
shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan Participants and their
Beneficiaries against Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to
the claims of the Company's general creditors under federal and state law in the
event of Insolvency, as defined in the Trust Agreement. All assets deposited in
the Trust shall be held, administered and distributed by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trust Agreement. The Company shall pay directly, or
reimburse the Trustee for, all taxes due in respect of any income or gains on
Trust assets.

8.4      Review of Appeals

         If an appeal is timely filed, the Committee shall conduct a full and

         expiration of the initial sixty (60) day period describing such special
         circumstances and indicating the date by which the Committee expects to

                           a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

8.5      Extensions

         If a period of time is extended, as permitted under Sections 8.2 and
         8.4 above, due to a claimant's failure to submit information to decide
         a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review
         shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the
         extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant
         responds to the request for additional information.

                                    ARTICLE 9

      9.1    Amendment.

The Company may amend the Plan and Trust Agreement in any respect at any time
for any reason by action of the Committee without liability to any Participant,
Beneficiary or other person for any such amendment or for any other action taken
pursuant to this Section 9.1, provided that any amendment required to be
approved by the Company's shareholders pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code
shall not be effective until approved by the

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

Company's shareholders in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) and
further provided that no such amendment shall be made retroactively in a manner
that would deprive any Participant of any rights or benefits which have accrued
to his/her benefit under the Plan as of the date such amendment is proposed to
be effective, unless such amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law.

      9.2 Termination.

The Company may terminate the Plan at any time for any reason by action of the
Committee without any liability to any Participant, Beneficiary or other person
for any such termination or for any other action taken pursuant to this Section
9.2. Following termination of the Plan, and notwithstanding the provisions of
any Deferral Agreement entered into prior to such termination, no additional
Deferrals may be made hereunder, but all existing Accounts shall continue to be
administered in accordance with the Plan, as in effect immediately prior to
termination, and shall be distributed in accordance with such terms of the Plan
and the applicable Deferral Agreements, unless and until the Company elects to
accelerate distribution as provided below. At any time on or after the effective
date of termination of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect
to accelerate the distribution of the entire balance of each Participant's
Accounts. Such accelerated distributions shall be made in accordance with
Article 3, except that all distributions shall be made in a lump sum based on
the value of the Accounts, determined as of the Valuation Date immediately
preceding the date of distribution. Upon the completion of distributions to all
Participants or Beneficiaries, as the case may be, no Participant, Beneficiary
or person claiming under or through them, will have any claims in respect of the
Plan.

      9.3 Liquidation of the Trust.

The Trust shall continue in existence after the termination of the Plan for such
period of time as may be required to complete the liquidation thereof in
accordance with the terms of this Article 9.

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

provision of this Plan, and the Company and the Affiliated Companies will not be
deemed responsible to provide continuing employment for any reason, at any time
solely by reason of this Plan.

      10.3   Severability.

to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process,
or in any way encumber, such Participant's or Beneficiary's rights or interests
under the Plan, and any attempt to do so shall be void; provided, however, that
the Company shall have the unrestricted right to set off against or recover out
of any payments due a Participant or Beneficiary at the time such payments would
have otherwise been payable hereunder, any amounts owed the Company or any
Affiliated Company by such Participant or Beneficiary.

      10.5   Number and Gender.

the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims

any of whom may require the Participant or Beneficiary (or legal
representative), as a condition precedent to such payment to execute a release
and receipt therefor.

      10.8   No Liability.

receive a payment under this Plan is (at the time such payment is to be made) a
minor or physically, mentally or legally incompetent to receive such payment and
that another person or an institution has legal custody of such minor or
incompetent individual, the Committee may cause payment to be made to such
person or institution having custody of such Participant or Beneficiary. Such
payment, to the extent made, shall operate as a complete discharge of obligation
by the Committee, the Company, the Trustee and the Trust.

      10.11  Repayment of Awards.

If any amount credited to a Deferral Account represents a portion of an Award
that is subsequently found to be repayable by the Participant to the Company or
any Affiliated Company pursuant to the plan pursuant to which the Award was
made, the amount of that credit shall nevertheless remain unaffected by that
repayment obligation, and the Participant shall make the required repayment out
