    Sun
Healthcare Group, Inc. Executive Bonus Plan

    (as
amended and restated on March 17, 2009)

    

    Effective
January 1, 2009, annual incentive bonuses of senior management (“Executives”) of Sun Healthcare
Group, Inc. (“Sun”)
and senior management of SunBridge Healthcare Corporation (“SunBridge”)
shall be determined pursuant to this plan.  This plan is intended to
provide bonuses that qualify for the performance-based compensation exemption of
Section 162(m) (“Section
162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  This plan
is adopted under Section 10 of Sun’s Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”), and
bonuses awarded under this plan shall be Benefits under the Plan that are
subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan.

    

    The
incentive bonus (the “Bonus”)
of an Executive for any fiscal year (the “Applicable
Fiscal Year”) shall be based on the criteria set forth
below.   For Mr. Matros, Mr. Mathies and Dr. Hunker, the Bonus
will be based upon achievement of the EBITDA and quality of care targets as
described below.  For Mr. Shaul, Mr. Newman and Ms. Chrispell, the
Bonus will be determined solely by achievement of the EBITDA target as described
below.

    

    1.           EBITDA.  Within the
first ninety (90) days of the Applicable Fiscal Year, the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors of Sun (the “Committee”) shall establish a
target for Sun’s consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (“EBITDA”).  EBITDA
shall be measured using the normalized actual EBITDA results of Sun as published
by Sun in its press release announcing financial results for the Applicable
Fiscal Year,  which normalizing adjustments consist of actuarial
adjustments for self insurance for general and professional liability, EBITDA of
discontinued operations, and nonrecurring costs related to acquisitions and
other similar events. When determining whether
the EBITDA target has been achieved, the Committee shall make adjustments to the
EBITDA target to eliminate the effect of discontinued operations or any change
in accounting policies or practices.

    

    Subject to the provisions of Section 2,
the amount of the Bonus for the Applicable Fiscal Year shall be based
upon normalized actual EBITDA attained as a percentage of the target EBITDA as
follows (percentages in the tables are percentages of base salary as of the last
day of the Applicable Fiscal Year):

    If
normalized actual EBITDA is less than 85% of target EBITDA, no Bonus will be
paid to any Executive.  If normalized actual EBITDA exceeds 115% of
target EBITDA, each Bonus will equal the percentage of base salary set forth in
the last column of the table above.  If normalized actual EBITDA is
greater than 85% of target EBITDA but less than 100% of target EBITDA, or
greater than 100% but less than 115%, the amount of the Bonus will be prorated
on a straight-line basis between the amounts shown in the applicable columns of
the table.

    

    In no
case, however, shall the amount of any Executive’s Bonus exceed (i) the amount
that has been accrued for such Bonus in the calculation of EBITDA and (ii) the
applicable limit set forth in Section 10(a) of the Plan.

    

    2.           Quality of Care
Component.  If the quality of care target is met, the Bonus
shall be paid in the amount determined as set forth above.  If the
quality of care target is not met, the Committee shall deduct such amount of the
Bonus for each of Mr. Matros, Mr. Mathies and Dr. Hunker as it determines in its
discretion from the amount otherwise payable.  The quality of care
target is met if quality of care at skilled nursing centers operated by
SunBridge and its subsidiaries is better than or equal to the quality of care at
skilled nursing centers of SunBridge’s for-profit peer group of companies for
the Applicable Fiscal Year (or the twelve month period ending as close as
possible to the end of Applicable Fiscal Year for which data are available at
the time the Committee considers the amount of the Bonus), in each case as
measured by the Health Deficiency Index reported by PointRight, Inc. or
whichever independent reporting entity is then used by Sun to provide such
information.  Notwithstanding the above, if actual EBITDA is at least
equal to 85% of target, the amount of the Bonus payable to Messrs. Matros and
Mathies cannot be less than 10% of their respective base salaries.

    

    3.           Committee Certification and Timing of
Payment.  As soon as practicable after the end of the
Applicable Fiscal Year, the Committee shall determine the amount of Sun’s
normalized actual EBITDA for such year.  No Bonus shall be paid to an
Executive for the Applicable Fiscal Year unless and until the Committee has
certified, by resolution or other appropriate action in writing, the normalized
actual EBITDA earned by Sun, the normalized actual EBITDA earned by Sun as a
percentage of the target EBITDA and the amount of the Bonus earned by each
Executive.  Any Bonuses shall be paid to each executive as soon as
practicable after completion of the year-end audit for the Applicable Fiscal
Year and following the Committee’s certification described above  (but
in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the Applicable
Fiscal Year to which the Bonus relates).

    

    4.           Recoupment of Bonus
Payments.  A Bonus paid to an Executive is subject to
recoupment, to the extent determined to be appropriate by the Committee, if each
of the following circumstances occur: (1) the amount of the Bonus was calculated
based on the achievement of EBITDA, the calculation of which was based on
financial statements that are subsequently the subject of an accounting
restatement due to noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under
the securities laws; (2) fraud or intentional misconduct by any Executive, or
any officer or employee that reports to an Executive was a significant
contributing factor to such noncompliance; and (3) the restated financial
statements are issued and completed prior to the issuance and completion of the
financial statements for the third fiscal year following 

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    the
Applicable Fiscal Year to which the Bonus relates.  In such
circumstances, a Bonus will be subject to recoupment only to the extent a lesser
Bonus would have been paid to an Executive based upon EBITDA, as restated, and
only as to the net amount of such portion of the Bonus after reduction for the
Executive’s tax liability on that portion of the Bonus.  By accepting
a Bonus, each Executive agrees to promptly make any Bonus reimbursement required
by the Committee in accordance with this section, and that Sun, SunBridge and
their respective affiliates may deduct from any amounts owed to the executive
from time to time (such as wages or other compensation) any amounts the
Executive is required to reimburse Sun and/or SunBridge pursuant to this
section.  This section does not limit any other remedies Sun,
SunBridge or their respective affiliates may have available in the
circumstances, which may include, without limitation, dismissing the executive
or initiating other disciplinary procedures.  The provisions of this
section are in addition to (and not in lieu of) any rights to repayment Sun,
SunBridge or their respective affiliates may have under Section 304 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other applicable laws.

    

    5.           Administration.  This
plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall consist solely of two
or more members of the Board of Directors of Sun who are “outside directors”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3) under Section
162(m).  The Committee shall have the same administrative authority
with respect to this plan as provided for under the Plan.

    

    6.           Section
162(m).  This plan is intended to provide bonuses that qualify
for the performance-based compensation exemption of Section
162(m).  Any provision, application or interpretation of this plan
inconsistent with this intent to satisfy the standards in Section 162(m) shall
be disregarded.

                Adoption
      of Plan and Purpose

              

      

       

      This Plan
is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan.  With the
consent of the Employer (as defined in subsection 2.16) the plan may be adopted
by executing the Adoption Agreement (as defined in subsection 2.3) in the form
attached hereto.  The Plan contains certain variable features which
the Employer has specified in the Adoption Agreement.  Only those
variable features specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement will be
applicable to the Employer.

       

      The
purpose of the Plan is to provide certain supplemental benefits under the Plan
to a select group of management or highly compensated Employees of the Employer
(in accordance with Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA), Members of the Board(s)
of the Employer, or Other Service Providers to the Employer (as defined below),
and to allow such Employees, Board Members or Other Service Providers the
opportunity to defer a portion of their salaries, bonuses and other
compensation, subject to the terms of the Plan.  Participants (and
their Beneficiaries) shall have only those rights to payments as set forth in
the Plan and shall be considered general, unsecured creditors of the Employer
with respect to any such rights.  The Plan is designed to comply with
the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) and Code Section
409A.  It is intended that the Plan be interpreted according to a good
faith interpretation of the Jobs Act and Code Section 409A, and consistent with
published IRS guidance, including proposed and final IRS regulations under Code
Section 409A. Treatment of amounts in the Plan under any transition rules
provided under all IRS and other guidance in connection with the Jobs Act or
Code Section 409A shall be expressly authorized hereunder in accordance with
procedures developed by the Administrator.  In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the Jobs Act or Code Section
409A (and regulations thereunder), the terms of the Jobs Act and Code Section
409A (and the regulations thereunder) shall control.  The Plan is
intended to constitute an account balance plan (as defined in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)).

       

      By
becoming a Participant and making deferrals under this Plan, each Participant
agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Plan and the determinations of the
Employer and the Administrator hereunder.

to determine the rights or eligibility of em­ployees or participants and any
other persons, and the amounts of their benefits under the plan, and to remedy
ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions, and such determina­tions shall be
binding on all parties.  The Administrator from time to time may adopt
such rules and regulations as may be necessary or desirable for the proper and
efficient administration of the Plan and as are consistent with the terms of the
Plan.  The admin­istrator may delegate all or any part of its
powers, rights, and duties under the Plan to such person or persons as it may
deem advisable, and may engage agents to provide cer­tain administrative
services with respect to the Plan.  Any notice or document relating to
the Plan which is to be filed with the Administrator may be delivered, or mailed
by registered or certified mail, postage pre-paid, to the Administrator, or to
any designated representative of the Administrator, in care of the Employer, at
its principal office.

      “Code”
means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Reference to a
specific section of the Code shall include such section, any valid regulation
promulgated thereunder, and any comparable provision of any future legislation

                Compensation

              

      

       

      “Compensation”
shall mean the amount of a Participant’s remuneration from the Employer
designated in the Adoption Agreement.   Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Compensation of an Other Service Provider (as defined in
subsection 2.22) shall mean his remuneration from the Employer pursuant to an
agreement to provide services to the Employer.   With respect to
any Participant who is a Member of the Board (if applicable), “Compensation”
means all cash remuneration which, absent a deferral election under the Plan,
would have otherwise been received by the Board Member in the taxable year,
payable to the Board Member for service on the Board and on Board committees,
including any cash payable for attendance at Board meetings and Board committee
meetings, but not including any amounts constituting reimbursements of expenses
to Board Members.   To the extent the Employer has designated
“401(k) Refunds” in the Adoption Agreement (and to the extent elected by the
Participant), an amount equal to the Participant’s “401(k) Refund” shall be
deferred from the Participant’s Compensation otherwise payable to the
Participant in the next subsequent Compensation pay period (or such later pay
period in the same calendar year as the Administrator determines shall be
administratively feasible), and shall be credited to the Participant’s
Compensation Deferral Account in accordance with subsection 4.1.  For
purposes of this subsection, “401(k) Refund” means any amount distributed to the
applicable Participant from the Employer’s qualified retirement plan intended to
comply with Section 401(k) of the Code that is in excess of the maximum deferral
for the prior calendar year allowable under such qualified retirement
plan.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the definition of
compensation for purposes of determining key employees under subsection 9.3 of
the Plan shall be determined solely in accordance with subsection
9.3.  To the extent not otherwise designated by the Employer in a
separate document forming part of the Plan, Compensation payable after December
31 of a given year solely for services performed during the Employer’s final
payroll period containing December 31, is treated as Compensation payable for
services performed in the subsequent year in which the non-deferred portion of
the payroll payment is actually made.

described in Code Section 409A and the regulations, notices, rulings and other
guidance thereunder.  If a Participant is both a Board Member
Participant and an Employee Participant, “Termination Date” means the date the

      Deferrals Other Than Performance-Based Bonus
  Deferrals

              

      

       

      Each Plan
Year, an Eligible Individual may elect to defer receipt of no less than the
minimum and no greater than the maximum percentage or amount selected by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement with respect to each type of Compensation
(other than Performance-Based Bonuses) earned with respect to pay periods
beginning on and after the effective date of the election; provided, however,
that Compensation earned prior to the date the Participant satisfies the
eligibility requirements of Section 3 shall not be eligible for deferral
under this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a
Participant’s Deferral Election for a Plan Year under this subsection must be
made not later than December 31 of the preceding Plan Year (or such earlier date
as determined by the Administrator) with respect to Compensation (other than
Performance-Based Bonuses) earned in pay periods beginning on or after the
following January 1 in accordance with rules established by the
Administrator.

       

      An
Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider who first becomes an Eligible
Individual during a Plan Year (by virtue of a promotion, Compensation increase,
commencement of employment with the Employer, commencement of Board service,
execution of an agreement to provide services to an Employer, or any other
reason) shall be provided enrollment documents (including Deferral Election
forms) as soon as administratively feasible following such initial notification
of eligibility.  Such Eligible Individual
must make his Deferral Elections within 30 days after first becoming an Eligible
Individual, with respect to his Compensation (other than Performance-Based
Bonuses) earned on or after the effective date of the Deferral Election
(provided, however, that if such Eligible Individual is participating in any
other account balance plan maintained by the Employer or any member of the
Employer’s “controlled group” (as defined in subsections 414(b) and (c) of the
Code), such Eligible Individual must make his Compensation Deferral Election no
later than December 31 of the preceding Plan Year (or such

        earlier
date as determined by the Administrator), or he may not elect to make
Compensation Deferrals for that initial Plan Year).  If an Eligible
Individual does not elect to make Compensation Deferrals during that initial
30-day period, he may not later elect to make Compensation Deferrals for that
year under this subsection.  In the event that an Eligible Individual
first becomes eligible during a Plan Year with respect to which Fiscal Year
Compensation is payable, such Eligible Individual must make his Fiscal Year
Compensation Deferral Election on or before the end of the fiscal year of the
Employer immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which any services are
performed for which the Fiscal Year Compensation is payable.

      

       

      In the
case of an Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider who is rehired (or
who recommences Board Service or recommences providing services to an Employer
as an Other Service Provider) after having previously been an Eligible
Individual, the phrase “first becomes an Eligible Individual” in the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be interpreted to apply only where the
Eligible Individual either (i) previously received payment of his total Account
balances under the Plan, or (ii) did not previously receive payment of his total
Account balances under the Plan, but is rehired (or recommences Board Service or
recommences providing services to an Employer as an Other Service Provider) at
least 24 months after his last day as a previously Eligible Individual prior to
again becoming such an Eligible Individual.  In all other cases such
rehired Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider may not elect to make
Compensation Deferrals until the next date determined by the Administrator with
respect to Compensation earned after the following January
1.  Similarly, in the case of an Employee who recommences status as an
Eligible Individual for any other reason after having previously lost his status
as an Eligible Individual (due to Compensation fluctuations, transfer from an
ineligible location or job classification, or otherwise), the phrase “first
becomes an Eligible Individual” shall be interpreted to apply only where the
Eligible Individual either:  (i) previously received payment of his
total Account balances under the Plan, or (ii) did not previously receive
payment of his total Account balances under the Plan, but regains his status as
an Eligible Individual at least 24 months after his last day as a previously
Eligible Individual prior to again becoming such an Eligible
Individual.  In all other cases such Re-Eligible Participant may not
elect to make Compensation Deferrals until the next date determined by the
Administrator with respect to Compensation earned after the following January
1.

       

      An
election to make Compensation Deferrals under this subsection 4.1 shall remain
in effect through the last pay period commencing in the calendar year to which
the election applies (except as provided in Section 2.9 or subsection 4.5),
shall apply with respect to the applicable type of Compensation (other than
Performance-Based Bonuses) to which the Deferral Election relates earned for pay
periods commencing in the applicable calendar year to which the election
applies, and shall be irrevocable (provided, however, that a Participant making
a Deferral Election under this subsection may change his election at any time
prior to December 31 of the year preceding the year for which the Deferral
Election is applicable, subject to rules established by the
Administrator).   If a Participant fails to make a Compensation
Deferral election for a given Plan Year, such Participant’s Compensation
Deferral Election for that Plan Year shall be deemed to be zero; provided,
however, that if the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement that a

                Performance-Based
      Bonus Deferrals

              

      

       

      Each Plan
Year, an Eligible Individual may elect to defer receipt of no less than the
minimum and no greater than the maximum percentage or amount selected by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement with respect to Performance-Based Bonuses
earned with respect to the performance period for which the
Performance-Based  Bonus is earned; provided, however, that the
Eligible Individual performed services continuously from a date no later than
the date upon which the performance criteria are established through a date no
earlier than the date upon which the Eligible Individual makes a
Performance-Based Bonus Deferral Election; and further provided that in no event
may an election to defer Performance-Based Bonuses be made after such Bonuses
have become readily ascertainable.  Except as otherwise provided in
this subsection, a Participant’s Performance-Based Bonus Deferral Election under
this subsection must be made not later than six months (or such earlier date as
determined by the Administrator) prior to the end of the performance
period.

       

      An
Employee, Board Member or Other Service Provider who first becomes an Eligible
Individual during a Plan Year (by virtue of a promotion, Compensation increase,
commencement of employment with the Employer, commencement of Board service,
execution of an agreement to provide services to an Employer, or any other
reason) shall be provided enrollment documents (including Deferral Election
forms) as soon as administratively feasible following such initial notification
of eligibility.  Such Eligible Individual
must make his Performance-Based Bonus Deferral Election within 30 days after
first becoming an Eligible Individual (provided, however, that if such Eligible
Individual is participating in any other account balance plan maintained by the
Employer or any member of the Employer’s “controlled group” (as defined in
subsections 414(b) and (c) of the Code), such Eligible Individual must perform
services continuously from a date no later than the date upon which the
performance criteria are established, and must make his Performance-Based Bonus
Deferral Election no later than six months (or such earlier date as determined
by the Administrator) prior to the end of the performance period and at a time
when the Performance-Based Bonus is not readily ascertainable, or he may not
elect to make Performance-Based Bonus Deferrals for such initial Plan
Year).  In the case of a Deferral Election in the first year of
eligibility that is made after the beginning of the Performance-Based Bonus
performance period, the Deferral Election will apply to the portion of the
Performance-Based Bonus equal to the total amount of the Performance-Based Bonus
for the performance period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days
remaining in the performance period after the effective date of the Deferral
Election over the total number of days in the Performance Period.  If
such an Eligible Individual does not elect to make a Performance-Based Bonus
Deferral during that initial 30-day period, he may not later elect to make a
Performance-Based Bonus Deferral for that performance period under this
subsection.  Rules relating to the timing of elections to make a

manner similar to rules described applicable to rehired and other Re-Eligible
Participants in subsection 4.1 above.

      

       

      An
election to make Performance-Based Bonus Deferrals under this subsection 4.2
shall remain in effect through the end of the performance period to which the
election applies (except as provided in subsection 4.5), and shall be
irrevocable (provided, however, that as long as the Performance-Based Bonus is
not readily ascertainable, a Participant making a Performance-Based Bonus
Deferral Election under this subsection (other than a Participant who first
becomes an Eligible Individual and who makes his Deferral Election after the
beginning of the performance period and within 30 days after first becoming an
Eligible Individual) may change his election at any time prior to the first day
of the six-month period ending on the last day of the performance period for
which the Performance-Based Bonus Deferral Election is applicable, subject to
rules established by the Administrator).   If a Participant fails
to make a Performance-Based Bonus Deferral Election for a given performance
period, such Participant’s Performance-Based Bonus Deferral Election for that
performance period shall be deemed to be zero; provided, however, that if the
Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement that a Participant’s
Performance-Based Deferral Election shall be “evergreen”, then such
Participant’s Performance-Based Bonus Deferral Election shall be deemed to be
identical to the most recent applicable Performance-Based Bonus Deferral
Election on file with the Administrator.

       

      Performance-Based
Bonus Deferrals shall be credited to the Participant’s
Compensation  Deferral Account as soon as administratively feasible
after such amounts would have been payable to the Participant.

(except as otherwise described in subsections 4.1 and 4.2), except that, if a
Participant’s status changes such that he becomes ineligible for the Plan, the
Participant’s Deferrals under the Plan shall cease as described in subsection
3.2.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event the Employer maintains a qualified plan designed to
comply with the requirements of Code Section 401(k) that requires the cessation
of all deferrals in the event of a hardship withdrawal under such plan, the
Participant’s Deferrals under this Plan shall cease and be cancelled as soon as
administratively feasible upon notification to the Administrator that the
participant has taken such a hardship withdrawal.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to permit
Unforeseeable Emergency Withdrawals pursuant to subsection 9.8, the
Participant’s Deferrals under this Plan shall cease and be cancelled as soon as
administratively feasible upon approval by the Administrator of a Participant’s
properly submitted request for an Unforeseeable Emergency Withdrawal under
subsection 9.8.

Employer may designate, in its discretion, one or more Investment Funds for the
notional investment of Participants’ Accounts.  The Employer, in its
discretion, may from time to time establish new Investment Funds or eliminate
existing Investment Funds.  The Investment Funds are for recordkeeping
purposes only and do not allow Participants to direct any Employer assets
(including, if applicable, the assets of any trust related to the
Plan).  Each Participant’s Accounts shall be adjusted pursuant to the
Participant’s notional investment elections made in accordance with this Section

discretion.

Employer.  The Administrator, in its discretion, may adopt (and may
modify from time to time) such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or
appropriate to implement the notional investment of the Participant’s
Accounts.  Such procedures may differ among Participants or classes of
Participants, as determined by the Employer or the Administrator in its
discretion.  The Employer or Administrator may limit, delay or
restrict the notional investment of certain Participants’ Accounts, or restrict
allocation or reallocation into specified notional investment options, in
accordance with rules established in order to comply with Employer policy and
applicable law,  to minimize regulated filings and disclosures, or
under any other circumstances in the discretion of the Employer.  Any
deferred amounts subject to a Participant’s investment election that must be so
limited, delayed or restricted under such circumstances may be notionally
invested in an Investment Fund designated by the Administrator, or may be
credited with earnings at a rate determined by the Administrator, which rate may
be zero.  A Participant’s notional investment election shall remain in
effect until later changed in accordance with the rules of the
Administrator.  If a Participant does not make a notional investment
election, all deferrals by the Participant and contributions on his behalf will
be deemed to be notionally invested in the Investment Fund designated by the
Employer for such purpose, or, at the Employer’s election, may remain uninvested
until such time as the Administrator receives proper direction, or may be
credited with earnings at a rate determined by the Administrator or Employer,
which rate may be zero.

7     VESTING

Participant shall be fully vested at all times in his Compensation Deferral
Account (if applicable).  A Participant shall be vested in his
Matching Contributions and/or Employer Contributions (if applicable), in
accordance with the vesting schedule elected by the Employer under the Adoption
Agreement.  Vesting Years of Service shall be determined in accordance
with the election made by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement.  Amounts in a Participant’s Accounts that are not vested
upon the Participant’s Termination Date  shall be
forfeited.

       

      If a
Participant has a Termination Date with the Employer as a result of the
Participant’s Misconduct (as defined by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement),
or if the Participant engages in Competition with the Employer (as defined by
the Employer in the Adoption Agreement), and the Employer has so elected in the
Adoption Agreement, the Participant shall forfeit all amounts allocated to his
or her Matching Contribution Account and/or Employer Contribution Accounts (if
applicable).

       

      Neither
the Administrator nor the Employer in any way guarantee the Participant’s
Account balance from loss or depreciation.  Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Participant’s Account balance is
subject to Section 8.

without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any specific funds, assets, or
other property of the Employer.  Benefits under the Plan are unfunded
and unsecured.  A Participant shall have only an unfunded, unsecured
right to the amounts, if any, payable hereunder to that
Participant.  The Employer’s obligations under this Plan are not
secured or funded in any manner, even if the Employer elects to establish a
trust with respect to the Plan.  Even though benefits provided under
the Plan are not funded, the Employer may establish a trust to assist in the
payment of benefits.  All investments under this Plan are notional and
do not obligate the Employer (or its delegates) to invest the assets of the
Employer or of any such trust in a similar manner.

      of Accounts 

              

      

       

      A
Participant’s vested Account balances shall be distributed to the Participant
upon the first to occur of the Participant’s Termination Date, Disability or a
Change in Control of the Employer, to the extent that each such event is
designated as a payment event by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. To the
extent designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may
elect one time and form of payment that will apply if the Participant’s
Termination Date occurs as a result of Retirement or Early Retirement, and
another time and form of payment that will apply if the Participant’s
Termination Date occurs for any other reason, however the time and form of
payment for Retirement and Early Retirement must be the same.  In
addition, to the extent designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, if
distribution of the Participant’s vested Account balances is triggered by the
Participant’s Termination Date or Disability, the Participant may elect to have
any unpaid amounts become payable in a single lump sum payment upon an
intervening Change in Control of the Employer that occurs before the
Participant’s entire vested Account balances is paid.

       

       The
Participant’s vested Account balances shall be distributed to the Participant
(or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s Beneficiary),
in the form of a single lump sum payment, or, if subsection 9.2 applies, in the
form of installment payments as designated by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement.  Subject to subsection 9.3 hereof, distribution of a
Participant’s Accounts shall be made within the 90-day period following the
occurrence of a distribution event  (provided, however, that if
calculation of the amount of the payment is not administratively practicable due
to events beyond the control of the Participant, the payment will be made as
soon as administratively practicable for the Administrator to make such
payment).    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, for purposes of this subsection, a Participant’s Accounts shall be
valued as of a Valuation Date as soon as administratively feasible preceding the
date such distribution is made, in accordance with rules established by the
Administrator.  A Participant’s Accounts may be offset by any amounts
owed by the Participant to the Employer, but such offset shall not occur in
excess of or prior to the date distribution of the amount would otherwise be
made to the Participant.

      Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent designated by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement, a Participant may elect, in accordance with this subsection, a
distribution date for his Compensation Deferral Accounts that is prior to either
his Termination Date, Disability or a Change in Control  (an
“In-Service Distribution”).  A Participant’s election of an In-Service
Distribution date must: (i) be made at the time of his Deferral Election for a
Plan Year; and (ii) apply only to amounts deferred pursuant to that election,
and any earnings, gains, losses, appreciation, and depreciation credited thereto
or debited therefrom with respect to such amounts.  The Employer may
limit the number of In-Service Distribution dates permitted for Participants to
elect under the Plan. Payments made pursuant to an In-Service Distribution
election shall be made in a lump sum or installments, to the extent elected by
the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  Each such payment pursuant to
an In-Service Distribution election shall be made as soon as administratively
feasible following January 1 of the calendar year in which the payment was
elected to be made, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year in
which the payment was elected to be made (provided, however, that if calculation
of the amount of the payment is not administratively practicable due to events
beyond the control of the Participant, the payment will be made as soon as
administratively practicable for the Administrator to make such
payment).  For purposes of such payment, the value of the
Participant’s Accounts for the applicable Plan Year shall be determined as of a
Valuation Date preceding the date that such distribution is made, in accordance
with rules established by the Administrator.  In the event a
Participant’s Termination Date occurs (or, if elected by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement, in the event Disability or a Change in Control of the
Employer occurs) prior to the date the Participant had previously elected to
have an In-Service Distribution payment made to him, such amount shall be paid
to the Participant under the rules applicable for payment on Termination of
Employment (or, if elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, for
payment on Disability or a Change in Control) in accordance with this subsection
9.1 and subsection 9.2.  In addition, to the extent designated by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement, if distribution of the Participant’s vested
Account balances is triggered by an In-Service Distribution Election, the
Participant may elect to have any unpaid amounts become payable in a single lump
sum payment upon an intervening Change in Control of the Employer that occurs
before the Participant’s entire vested Account balances attributable to the
In-Service Distribution election is paid.

       

      To the
extent elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, Participants whose
Termination Date has not yet occurred may elect to defer payment of any
In-Service Distribution (whether paid in a lump sum or installments), provided
that such election is made in accordance with procedures established by the
Administrator, and further provided that any such election must be made no later
than 12 calendar months prior to the first originally elected In-Service
Distribution Date (which for these purposes shall be January 1 of the calendar
year in which the payment was elected to be made).  Participants may
elect any deferred payment date, but such date must be no fewer than five years
from the first original In-Service Distribution Date (which for these purposes
shall be January 1 of the calendar year in which the payment was elected to be
made).

                Installment
      Distributions 

              

      

       

      To the
extent elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, upon a Termination
Date or Disability, a Participant may elect to receive payments from his
Accounts in the form of 

      
        
          
          

        

        
          16

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

        a single
lump sum, as described in Section 9.1, or in annual  installments
over a period elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  To
the extent a Participant fails to make an election, the Participant shall be
deemed to have elected to receive his distribution for that Plan Year in the
form of a single lump sum.  To the extent elected by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may make a separate election with respect
to his Performance-Based Bonus Deferrals for each year (as adjusted for gains
and losses thereon) that provides for a different method of distribution from
the method of distribution he elects with respect to his Compensation Deferrals
(as adjusted for gains and losses thereon) for that year.  The
Participant’s Employer Contributions Account attributable to such year, if any
(as adjusted for gains and losses thereon), shall be distributed in the same
manner as his Compensation Deferral Account for such year (and if no election
has been made for the Compensation Deferral Account for such year, in a single
lump sum payment triggered by the Termination Date).

      

       

      
        	
                (a)  

              	
                Installment
      Elections.  A Participant will be required to make his
      distribution election in accordance with the deferral election timing and
      other requirements of Section 4 .

              

      

       

      
        	
                (b)  

              	
                Installment
      Payments.  The first installment payment
      shall  be made within the 90-day period following the
      Participant’s Termination Date or, if elected by the Employer in the
      Adoption Agreement, Disability (provided, however, that if calculation of
      the amount of the payment is not administratively practicable due to
      events beyond the control of the Participant, the payment will be made as
      soon as administratively practicable for the Administrator to make such
      payment).  Succeeding payments shall generally be made as soon
      as administratively practicable following  January 1 of each
      succeeding calendar year following the calendar year in which the
      Participant’s Termination Date or, if elected by the Employer in the
      Adoption Agreement, Disability occurs , but in no event later than the end
      of each succeeding calendar year (provided, however, that if calculation
      of the amount of the payment is not administratively practicable due to
      events beyond the control of the Participant, the payment will be made as
      soon as administratively practicable for the Administrator to make such
      payment). The amount to be distributed in each installment payment shall
      be determined by dividing the value of the Participant’s Accounts being
      paid in installments as of a Valuation Date preceding the date of each
      distribution by the number of installment payments remaining to be made,
      in accordance with rules established by the Administrator.  In
      the event of the death of the Participant prior to the full payment of his
      Accounts being paid in installments, payments will continue to be made to
      his Beneficiary in the same manner and at the same time as would have been
      payable to the Participant.

              

      

       

      To the
extent elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, Participants who have
elected payment in installments may make a subsequent election to elect payment
of that amount in the form of a lump sum or in a different number of installment
payments (but no fewer than the minimum number, and not to exceed the maximum
number of installments elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement), if
payment of installments with respect to that year’s deferrals has not yet
commenced.  Such election must be made in accordance with procedures
established by the Administrator, and any such election must not take effect
until at least 12

        months
after the date on which the election is made and must be made no later than 12
calendar months prior to the originally elected payment date of the first
installment (which for these purposes shall be the first day on which payment
could be made).  The new payment date for the installments with
respect to which such election is made must be deferred to a date no fewer than
five years from the date the first such installment payment would otherwise have
been made (which for these purposes shall be the first day on which payment
could be made).  Participants will be permitted to make such a change
only once with respect to any year’s Deferral Elections.

                Key
      Employees

              

      

       

      Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, and subject to Code Section 409A, except in the
case of the Participant’s death, payment under the Plan shall not be made or
commence as a result of the Participant’s Termination Date to any Participant
who is a key employee (defined below) before the date that is not less than six
months after the Participant’s Termination Date.  For this purpose, a
key employee is a “specified employee” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(i).  In the event amounts are payable to a key employee in
installments in accordance with subsection 9.2, the first installment shall be
delayed by six months, with all other installment payments payable as originally
scheduled.  To the extent not otherwise designated by the Employer in
a separate document forming a part of the Plan applicable to all its
nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the identification date for
determining the Employer’s key employees is each December 31 (and the new key
employee list is updated and effective each subsequent April 1).  To
the extent not otherwise designated by the Employer in a separate document
forming a part of the Plan, the definition of compensation used to determine key
employee status shall be determined under Treasury Regulation Section
1.415(c)-2(a).  This subsection 9.3 is applicable only with respect to
Employers whose stock is publicly traded on an “established securities market”
(as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(k)), and is not applicable
to privately held Employers unless and until such Employers become publicly
traded as defined in the Treasury regulations.

      If the
value of a Participant’s total Accounts at his Termination Date (or his death or
other applicable distribution date) or at any time thereafter, together with the
value of the Participant’s accounts under any other account balance plan
maintained by the Employer or any member of the Employer’s “controlled group”
(as defined in subsections 414(b) and (c) of the Code), is equal to or less than
such amount as stated in the Adoption Agreement (which amount shall not exceed
the limit described in Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code from time to time), the
Accounts will be paid to the Participant (or, in the event of his death, his
Beneficiary) in a single lump sum, notwithstanding any election by the
Participant otherwise.  Payments made under this subsection 9.4 shall
be made as soon as administratively practicable once the value of the Accounts
reaches the applicable threshold.

      Each
Participant from time to time may designate any individual, trust, charity or
other person or persons to whom the value of the Participant’s Accounts (plus
any applicable Survivor Benefit, if elected by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement) will be paid in the event the

        Participant
dies before receiving the value of all of his Accounts.  A Beneficiary
designation must be made in the manner required by the Administrator for this
purpose.  Primary and secondary Beneficiaries are permitted. A married
participant designating a Beneficiary other than his Spouse must obtain the
consent of his Spouse to such designation (in accordance with rules determined
by the Administrator). Payments to the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall be
made in accordance with subsection 9.1, 9.2  or 9.4, as applicable,
after the Administrator has received proper notification of the Participant’s
death.

      

       

      A
Beneficiary designation will be effective only when the Beneficiary designation
is filed with the Administrator while the Participant is alive, and a subsequent
Beneficiary designation will cancel all of the Participant’s Beneficiary
designations previously filed with the Administrator.  Any designation
or revocation of a Beneficiary shall be effective  only if it is
received by the Administrator.  Once received, such designation shall
be effective as of the date the designation was executed, but without prejudice
to the Administrator on account of any payment made before the change is
recorded by the Administrator.  If a Beneficiary dies before payment
of the Participant’s Accounts have been made, the Participant’s Accounts shall
be distributed in accordance with the Participant’s Beneficiary designation and
pursuant to rules established by the Administrator.  If a deceased
Participant failed to designate a Beneficiary, or if the designated Beneficiary
predeceases the Participant, the value of the Participant’s Accounts shall be
payable to the Participant’s Spouse or, if there is none, to the Participant’s
estate, or in accordance with such other equitable procedures as determined by
the Administrator.

                Reemployment

              

      

       

      If a
former Participant is rehired by an Employer, or any affiliate or subsidiary of
the Employer described in Section 414(b) and (c) of the Code and Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), regardless of whether he is rehired as an
Eligible Individual (with respect to an Employee Participant), or a former
Participant returns to service as a Board member, any payments being made to
such Participant hereunder by virtue of his previous Termination Date shall
continue to be made to him without regard to such
rehire.    If a former Participant is rehired by the
Employer (with respect to an Employee Participant) or returns to service as a
Board member, and in either case any payments to be made to the Participant by
virtue of his previous Termination Date have not been made or commenced, any
payments being made to such Participant hereunder by virtue of his previous
Termination Date shall continue to be made to him without regard to such rehire
or return to service.  See subsections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Plan for
special rules applicable to deferral elections for rehired or Re-Eligible
Participants.

      Distribution Rules

              

      

       

      Except as
otherwise provided herein and in Section 12, Account balances of Participants in
this Plan shall not be distributed earlier than the applicable date or dates
described in this Section 9.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of payments:  (i) the deduction for which would be limited or
eliminated by the application of Section 162(m) of the Code; (ii) that would
violate securities or other applicable laws; or (iii) that would jeopardize the
ability of the Employer to continue as a going concern in accordance with Code
Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, deferral of such payments may be
made by the Employer at the Employer’s discretion, so long as the Employer
treats all payments to similarly situated

        Participants
in a reasonably consistent basis. In the case of a payment described in (i)
above, the payment must be deferred either to a date in the first year in which
the Employer or Administrator reasonably anticipates that a payment of such
amount would not result in a limitation of a deduction with respect to the
payment of such amount under Section 162(m), or the year in which the
Participant’s Termination Date occurs.  In the case of a payment
described in (ii) or (iii) above, payment will be made at the earliest date at
which the Employer or Administrator reasonably anticipates that the payment
would not jeopardize the ability of the Employer to continue as a going concern
in accordance with Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, or the
payment would not result in a violation of securities or other applicable
laws.  Payments intended to pay employment taxes or payments made as a
result of income inclusion of an amount in a Participant’s Accounts as a result
of a failure to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall be permitted at the
Employer or Administrator’s discretion at any time and to the extent provided in
Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code  and any
applicable subsequent guidance.  “Employment taxes” shall include
Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Sections 3101,
3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) of the Code on compensation deferred under the Plan (the
“FICA Amount”), the income tax imposed under Section 3401 of the Code or
corresponding provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax laws on the
FICA Amount, and to pay the additional income tax under Section 3401 of the Code
or corresponding provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax laws
attributable to the pyramiding Section 3401 wages and
taxes.    With respect to a subchapter S corporation, a
distribution may be accelerated to avoid a nonallocation year under Code Section
409(p) with respect to a subchapter S corporation in the discretion of the
Employer or Administrator, provided that the amount distributed does not exceed
125 percent of the minimum amount of distribution necessary to avoid the
occurrence of a nonallocation year, in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(x).

      on Account of Unforeseeable
Emergency

              

      

       

      If
elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, if a
Participant  incurs a severe financial hardship of the type described
below, he may request an Unforeseeable Emergency Withdrawal, provided that the
withdrawal is necessary in light of severe financial needs of the Participant
..  To the extent elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement,
the ability to apply for an Unforeseeable Emergency Withdrawal may be restricted
to Participants whose Termination Date has not yet occurred.  Such a
withdrawal shall not exceed the amount required (including anticipated taxes on
the withdrawal) to meet the severe financial need and not reasonably available
from other resources of the Participant (including reimbursement or compensation
by insurance, cessation of deferrals under this Plan for the remainder of the
Plan Year, and liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent
liquidation itself would not cause severe financial hardship).  Each
such withdrawal election shall be made at such time and in such manner as the
Administrator shall determine, and shall be effective in accordance with such
rules as the Administrator shall establish and publish from time to
time.  Severe financial needs are limited to amounts necessary
for:

       

      
        	
                (a)

      sudden unexpected illness or accident incurred by the Participant, his
      Spouse, Beneficiary or dependents (as defined in Code Section

                Other
      similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances involving an
      uninsured loss arising from an event outside the control of the
      Participant.

              

      

       

      Withdrawals
of amounts under this subsection shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum
as soon as administratively feasible following receipt of the appropriate forms
and information required by and acceptable to the Administrator.

                Distribution
      Upon Change in Control

              

      

       

      In the
event of the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Employer or a member of
the Employer’s controlled group (as designated by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement, and to the extent certified by the Administrator that a Change in
Control has occurred, which certification shall be strictly ministerial and not
involve any discretionary authority), distributions shall be made to
Participants to the extent elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, in
the form elected by the Participants as if a Termination Date had occurred with
respect to each Participant, or as otherwise specified by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement.   The Change in Control shall relate
to:  (i)  the corporation for whom the Participant is
performing services at the time of the Change in Control event; (ii) the
corporation that is liable for the payment from the Plan to the Participant (or
all corporations so liable if more than one corporation is liable); (iii) a
corporation that is a majority shareholder of a corporation described in (i) or
(ii) above; or (iv) any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each
such corporation is a majority shareholder of another corporation in the chain,
ending in a corporation described in (i) or (ii) above, as elected by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  A “majority shareholder” for
these purposes is a shareholder owning more than 50% of the total fair market
value and total voting power of such corporation.  Attribution rules
described in section 318(a) of the Code apply to determine stock
ownership.  Stock underlying a vested option  is considered
owned by the individual who holds the
vested  option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a vested
option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined in
section 1.83-3(b) and (j) of the Code), the stock underlying the option is not
treated as owned by the individual who holds the
option.    To the extent designated by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement, the Change in Control shall occur upon the date that: (v) a
person or “Group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Sections
1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B) and (vi)(D)) acquires more than 50% of the total fair
market value or voting power of stock of the corporation designated in (i)
through (iv) above; (vi) a person or Group acquires ownership (“effective
control”) of stock of the corporation with at least 30% of the total voting
power of the corporation designated in (i) through (iv) above and as further
limited by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi)); (vii) a majority of
the board of directors of any corporation designated in (i) through (iv) above
for which no other corporation is a majority shareholder is replaced during any
12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a
majority of the board as constituted prior to the appointment or election; or
(viii) a person or Group acquires assets from the corporation designated in (i)
through (iv) above having a total fair market value of at least 40% of the value
of all assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition; as
designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.

      An
increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting
as a Group, as a result of a transaction in which the corporation acquires its
stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for
purposes of this subsection.  For purposes of (v) through (viii)
above, a Change in Control shall be further limited in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v), (vi) and (vii).  Supplemental Survivor Death
Benefit

       

      A supplemental survivor death benefit
shall be paid to the Beneficiary of an eligible Participant who has satisfied
the following criteria prior to his death:  

       

      
        	
                (a)  

              	
                The
      Participant is eligible to participate in the Plan and, at the time of his
      death, had a current Account balance (regardless of whether or not the
      Participant actually was making Compensation Deferrals at the time of his
      death);

              

      

       

      
        	
                (b)  

              	
                The
      Participant was an active Employee with the Employer at the time of his
      death;

              

      

       

      
        	
                (c)  

              	
                The
      Participant completed and submitted an insurance application to the
      Administrator; and

              

      

       

      
        	
                (d)  

              	
                The
      Employer subsequently purchased an insurance policy on the life of the
      Participant, with a death benefit payable,  which policy is in
      effect at the time of the Participant’s
death.

              

      

       

      Notwithstanding
any provision of this Plan or any other document to the contrary, the
supplemental survivor death benefit payable pursuant to this
Subsection 9.10 shall be paid only if an insurance policy has been issued
on the Participant’s life and such policy is in force at the time of the
Participant’s death and the Employer shall have no obligation with respect to
the payment of the supplemental survivor death benefit, or to maintain an
insurance policy for any Participants.

      If a
legal action begun against the Administrator (or any member or former member
thereof), an Employer, or any person or persons to whom an Employer or the
Administrator has delegated all or part of its duties hereunder, by or on behalf
of any person results adversely to that person, or if a legal action arises
because of conflicting claims to a Participant’s or other person’s benefits, the
cost to the Administrator (or any member or former member thereof), the Employer
or any person or persons to whom the Employer or the Administrator has delegated
all or part of its duties hereunder of defending the action may be charged to
the extent permitted by law to the sums, if any, which were involved in the
action or were payable to the Participant or other person
concerned.

                Indemnification

              

      

       

      To the
extent permitted by law, the Employer shall indemnify each member of the
Administrator committee, and any other employee or member of the Board with
duties under the Plan, against losses and expenses (including any amount paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any claims
against such person by reason of such person’s conduct in the performance of
duties under the Plan, except in relation to matters as to which such person has
acted fraudulently or in bad faith in the performance of
duties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer shall not
indemnify any person for any expense incurred through any settlement or
compromise of any action unless the Employer consents in writing to the
settlement or compromise.

      Each
election or request required or permitted to be made by a Participant (or a
Participant’s Spouse or Beneficiary) shall be made in accordance with the rules
and procedures established by the Employer or Administrator and shall be
effective as determined by the Administrator.  The Administrator’s
rules and procedures may address, among other things, the method and timing of
any elections or requests required or permitted to be made by a Participant (or
a Participant’s Spouse or Beneficiary).  All elections under the Plan
shall comply with the requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and

                Manner
      of Delivery

              

      

       

      Each
notice or statement provided to a Participant shall be delivered in any manner
established by the Administrator and in accordance with applicable law,
including, but not limited to, electronic delivery.

                Facility
      of Payment

              

      

       

      When a
person entitled to benefits under the Plan is a minor, under legal disability,
or is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to manage his financial
affairs, the Administrator may cause the benefits to be paid to such person’s
guardian or legal representative.  If no guardian or legal
representative has been appointed, or if the Administrator so determines in its
sole discretion, payment may be made to any person as custodian for such
individual under any applicable state law, or to the legal representative of
such person for such person’s benefit, or the Administrator may direct the
application of such benefits for the benefit of such person.  Any
payment made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be a full and
complete discharge of any liability for such payment under the
Plan.

       

      
        	
                10.17  

              	
                Missing
      Persons

              

      

       

      The
Employer and the Administrator shall not be required to search for or locate a
Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary.  Each Participant, Spouse, and
Beneficiary must file with the Administrator, from time to time, in writing the
Participant’s, Spouse’s, or Beneficiary’s post office address and each change of
post office address.  Any communication, statement, or notice
addressed to a Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary at the last post office
address filed with the Administrator, or if no address is filed with the
Administrator, then in the case of a Participant, at the Participant’s last post
office address as shown on the Employer’s records, shall be considered a
notification for purposes of the Plan and shall be binding on the Participant
and the Participant’s Spouse and Beneficiary for all purposes of the
Plan.

       

      If the
Administrator is unable to locate the Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary to
whom a Participant’s Accounts are payable, the Participant’s Accounts shall be
frozen as of the date on which distribution would have been completed under the
terms of the Plan, and no further notional investment returns shall be credited
thereto.

       

      If a
Participant whose Accounts were frozen (or his Beneficiary) files a claim for
distribution of the Accounts within 7 years after the date the Accounts are
frozen, and if the Administrator or Employer determines that such claim is
valid, then the frozen balance that has become payable shall be paid by the
Employer to the Participant or Beneficiary in a lump sum cash payment as soon as
practicable thereafter.  If the Administrator notifies a Participant,
Spouse, or Beneficiary of the provisions of this Subsection, and the
Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary fails to claim the Participant’s, Spouse’s,
or Beneficiary’s benefits or make such person’s whereabouts known to the
Administrator within 7 years after the date the Accounts are frozen, the
benefits of the Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary may be disposed of, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, by one or more of the following
methods:

       

      
        	
                (a)  

              	
                By
      retaining such benefits in the
Plan.

                (b)  

              	
                By
      paying such benefits to a court of competent jurisdiction for judicial
      determination of the right thereto.

              

      

       

      
        	
                (c)  

              	
                By
      forfeiting such benefits in accordance with procedures established by the
      Administrator.  If a Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary is
      subsequently located, such benefits may be restored (without adjustment)
      to the Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary under the
  Plan.

              

      

       

      
        	
                (d)  

              	
                By
      any equitable manner permitted by law under rules adopted by the
      Administrator.

                Recovery
      of Benefits

              

      

       

      In the
event a Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary receives a benefit payment from the
Plan that is in excess of the benefit payment that should have been made to such
Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary, or in the event a person other than a
Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary receives an erroneous payment from the Plan,
the Administrator or Employer shall have the right, on behalf of the Plan, to
recover the amount of the excess or erroneous payment from the
recipient.  To the extent permitted under applicable law, the
Administrator or Employer may, at its option, deduct the amount of such excess
or erroneous payment from any future benefits payable to the applicable
Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary.

      Except as
otherwise specifically provided under the terms of any other employee benefit
plan of the Employer, a Participant’s participation in this Plan shall not
affect the benefits provided under such other employee benefit
plan.

      The
Employer, the Administrator, and their representatives and delegates do not in
any way guarantee the tax treatment of benefits for any Participant, Spouse, or
Beneficiary, and the Employer, the Administrator, and their representatives and
delegates do not in any way guarantee or assume any responsibility or liability
for the legal, tax, or other implications or effects of the Plan.  In
the event of any legal, tax, or other change that may affect the Plan, the
Employer may, in its sole discretion, take any actions it deems necessary or
desirable as a result of such change.

      Each
person entitled to benefits under the Plan must file with the Administrator from
time to time in writing such person’s mailing address and each change of mailing
address.  Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to any
person at the last address filed with the Administrator will be binding upon
such person for all purposes of the Plan.  Each person entitled to
benefits under the Plan also shall furnish the Administrator with such
documents, evidence, data, or information as the Administrator considers
necessary or desirable for the

        purposes
of administering the Plan.  The Employer shall furnish the
Administrator with such data and information as the Administrator may deem
necessary or desirable in order to administer the Plan.  The records
of the Employer as to an Employee’s or Participant’s period of employment or
membership on the Board, termination of employment or membership and the reason
therefor, leave of absence, reemployment, and Compensation will be conclusive on
all persons unless determined to the Administrator’s or Employer’s satisfaction
to be incorrect.

                Uniform
      Application of Rules

              

      

       

      The
Administrator shall administer the Plan on a reasonable basis.  Any
rules, procedures, or regulations established by the Administrator shall be
applied uniformly to all persons similarly situated.

                Review
      of Benefit Determinations

              

      

       

      Benefits will be paid to Participants
and their beneficiaries without the necessity of formal
claims.  Participants or their beneficiaries, however, may make a
written request to the Administrator for any Plan benefits to which they may be
entitled.  Participants’ written request for Plan benefits will be
considered a claim for Plan benefits, and will be subject to a full and fair
review.  If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator
will furnish the claimant with a written notice of this denial.  This
written notice will be provided to the claimant within 90 days after the receipt
of the claim by the Administrator.  If notice of the denial of a claim
is not furnished to the claimant in accordance with the above within 90 days,
the claim will be deemed denied.  The claimant will then be permitted
to proceed to the review stage described in the following
paragraphs.

       

      Upon the denial of the claim for
benefits, the claimant may file a claim for review, in writing, with the
Administrator.  The claim for review must be filed no later than 60
days after the claimant has received written notification of the denial of the
claim for benefits or, if no written denial of the claim was provided, no later
than 60 days after the deemed denial of the claim.  The claimant may
review all pertinent documents relating to the denial of the claim and submit
any issues and comments, in writing, to the Administrator.  If the
claim is denied, the Administrator must provide the claimant with written notice
of this denial within 60 days after the Administrator’s receipt of the
claimant’s written claim for review.  The Administrator’s decision on
the claim for review will be communicated to the claimant in writing and will
include specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the
decision was based.  If the Administrator’s decision on review is not
furnished to the claimant within the time limitations described above, the claim
will be deemed denied on review.  If the claim for Plan benefits is
finally denied by the Administrator (or deemed denied), then the claimant may
bring suit in federal court.  The claimant may not commence a suit in
a court of law or equity for benefits under the Plan until the Plan’s claim
process and appeal rights have been exhausted and the Plan benefits requested in
that appeal have been denied in whole or in part.  However, the
claimant may only bring a suit in court if it is filed within 90 days after the
date of the final denial of the claim by the Administrator.

      

      With
respect to claims for benefits payable as a result of a Participant being
determined to be disabled, the Administrator will provide the claimant with
notice of the status of his claim 

      
        
          
          

        

        
          27

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

        for
disability benefits under the Plan within a reasonable period of time after a
complete claim has been filed, but no later than 45 days after receipt of the
claim for benefits.  The Administrator may request an additional
30-day extension if special circumstances warrant by notifying the claimant of
the extension before the expiration of the initial 45-day period.  If
a decision still cannot be made within this 30-day extension period due to
circumstances outside the Plan’s control, the time period may be extended for an
additional 30 days, in which case the claimant will be notified before the
expiration of the original 30-day extension.

      

       

      If the claimant has not submitted
sufficient information to the Administrator to process his disability benefit
claim, he will be notified of the incomplete claim and given 45 days to submit
additional information.  This will extend the time in which the
Administrator has to respond to the claim from the date the notice of
insufficient information is sent to the claimant until the date the claimant
responds to the request.  If the claimant does not submit the
requested missing information to the Administrator within 45 days of the date of
the request, the claim will be denied.

       

      If a disability benefit claim is
denied, the claimant will receive a notice which will include: (i) the specific
reasons for the denial, (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions upon
which the decision is based, (iii) a description of any additional information
the claimant might be required to provide with an explanation of why it is
needed, and (iv) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review and appeal
procedures, and (v) a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring a civil
action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following a denial on appeal.

       

      The claimant may appeal a denial of a
disability benefit claim by filing a written request with the Administrator
within 180 days of the claimant’s receipt of the initial denial
notice.  In connection with the appeal, the claimant may request that
the Plan provide him, free of charge, copies of all documents, records and other
information relevant to the claim.  The claimant may also submit
written comments, records, documents and other information relevant to his
appeal, whether or not such documents were submitted in connection with the
initial claim. The Administrator may consult with medical or vocational experts
in connection with deciding the claimant’s claim for benefits.

       

      The Administrator will conduct a full
and fair review of the documents and evidence submitted and will ordinarily
render a decision on the disability benefit claim no later than 45 days after
receipt of the request for review on appeal.  If there are special
circumstances, the decision will be made as soon as possible, but not later than
90 days after receipt of the request for review on appeal.  If such an
extension of time is needed, the claimant will be notified in writing prior to
the end of the first 45-day period.  The Administrator’s final written
decision will set forth: (i) the specific reasons for the decision, (ii)
references to the specific Plan provisions on which the decision is based, (iii)
a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of
charge, access to and copies of all documents, records and other information
relevant to the benefit claim, and (iv) a statement regarding the claimant’s
right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following a denial
on appeal.  The Administrator’s decision made in good faith will be
final and binding.

      Benefits
under the Plan will be paid only if the Administrator decides in its sole
discretion that a Participant or Beneficiary (or other claimant) is entitled to
them.  Subject to applicable law, any interpretation of the provisions
of the Plan and any decisions on any matter within the discretion of the
Administrator made by the Administrator or its delegate in good faith shall be
binding on all persons.  A misstatement or other mistake of fact shall
be corrected when it becomes known and the Administrator shall make such
adjustment on account thereof as it considers equitable and
practicable.

       

      SECTION
12     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

       

      While the
Employer expects and intends to continue the Plan, the Employer and the
Administrator each reserve the right to amend the Plan at any time and for any
reason, including the right to amend this Section 12 and the Plan termination
rules herein; provided, however, that each Participant will be entitled to the
amount credited to his Accounts immediately prior to such
amendment.  The power to amend the Plan includes (without limitation)
the power to change the Plan provisions regarding eligibility, contributions,
notional investments, vesting, and distribution forms, and timing of payments,
including changes applicable to benefits accrued prior to the effective date of
any such amendment; provided, however, that amendments to the Plan (other than
amendments relating to Plan termination) generally shall not cause the Plan to
provide for acceleration of distributions in violation of Section 409A of the
Code and applicable regulations thereunder.

       

      The
Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time and for any
reason; provided, however, that each Participant will be entitled to the amount
credited to his Accounts immediately prior to such termination (but such
Accounts shall  not be adjusted for future notional income, losses,
expenses, appreciation and depreciation).

       

      In the
event that the Plan is terminated pursuant to this Section 12, the balances in
affected Participants’ Accounts shall be distributed at the time and in the
manner set forth in Section 9.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Plan and all other account balance plans maintained by the Employer or any
member of the Employer’s “controlled group” (as defined in subsections 414(b)
and (c) of the Code) are terminated other than in connection with a downturn in
financial health, the Employer and the Administrator reserve the right to make
all such distributions within the second twelve-month period commencing with the
date of termination of the Plan; provided, however, that no such distribution
will be made during the first twelve-month period following such date of Plan
termination other than those that would otherwise be payable under Section 9
absent the termination of the Plan.  In the event of such a Plan
termination due to a Change in Control of the Employer, distributions shall be
made within 12 months of the date of termination of the Plan.
