Exhibit 10.79

                    CHANGE IN CONTROL COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

         This Agreement, dated as of the 16th day of November, 2004 between FX
Energy, Inc, ("FX"), and _______________________________________ (the
"Executive").

         The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of FX has
recommended, and the Board of Directors has approved, that FX enter into
agreements, providing for compensation under certain circumstances after a
change in control, with key executives of FX and its subsidiaries who are from
time to time designated by the Compensation Committee;

         Executive is a key executive of FX and has been selected by the
Compensation Committee to enter into this Agreement;

         Should FX become subject to any proposed or threatened Change in
Control (as defined below), the Board of Directors of FX believes it imperative
that FX and the Board of Directors be able to rely upon Executive to continue in
his position, and that FX be able to receive and rely upon his advice, if
requested, as to the best interests of FX and its stockholders without concern
that he might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and risks created by
such a proposal or threat; and

         Should FX receive any such proposal, in addition to Executive's regular
duties, he may be called upon to assist in the assessment of such proposals,
advise management and the Board of Directors as to whether such proposal would
be in the best interests of FX and its stockholders, and to take such other
actions above and beyond his regular duties as the Board might determine to be
appropriate;

         NOW, THEREFORE, to assure FX that it will have the continued dedication
of Executive and the availability of his advice and counsel notwithstanding the
possibility, threat or occurrence of an effort to take over control of FX, and
to induce Executive to remain in the employ of FX following a Change in Control
(as defined below) to facilitate an orderly transition, and for other good and
valuable consideration, FX and Executive agree as follows:

         1.       Termination Following Change in Control. Except as provided in
                  Section 3 below, FX will provide or cause to be provided to
                  Executive the rights and benefits described in Section 2 below
                  in the event that Executive's employment is terminated at any
                  time within two (2) years following a Change in Control (as
                  such term is defined in this Section 2) under the
                  circumstances stated in (a) or (b) below.

                  (a)      for reasons other than for "cause" (as such term is
                           defined in Section 4 hereof) or other than as a
                           consequence of Executive's death, permanent
                           disability or voluntary retirement.

                  (b)      by Executive following the occurrence of any of the
                           following events:

                           (i)      a substantial reduction in Executive's
                                    duties or responsibilities;

                           (ii)     the reduction of Executive's annual base
                                    salary, including any deferred portions of
                                    it;

                           (iii)    the transfer of Executive to a location
                                    requiring a change in his residence or a
                                    material increase in the amount of travel
                                    normally required of Executive in connection
                                    with his employment; or

                                    If a Change in Control shall occur prior to
                           or during any renewal term, as set forth in Section 5
                           below, Executive shall be entitled to the rights and
                           benefits provided for in Section 2 notwithstanding
                           any other provisions to the contrary in this
                           Agreement.

                                    For purposes of this agreement, a "change in
                           control of the company" means a change in control of
                           a nature that would be required to be reported in
                           response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation
                           14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
                           1934; provided that, without limitation, such a
                           change in control shall be deemed to have occurred
                           if:

                           (A) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections
                           13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
                           1934) other than the company or any person who on the

                           representing 20 percent of the combined voting power
                           of the company's then outstanding securities; or (B)
                           there is a merger or consolidation of the Company in
                           which the Company does not survive as an independent
                           public company; or (C) the business or businesses of
                           the Company for which your services are principally

                           a partial or complete liquidation of the Company, a
                           sale of assets of the Company, or otherwise.

2. Rights and Benefits Upon Termination. In the event of the termination of
Executive's employment under any of the circumstances set forth in Section 1
hereof ("Termination"), FX agrees to provide or cause to be provided to
Executive the following rights and benefits:

                  (a) Salary and Other Payments at Termination. Executive shall
                  be entitled to receive payment in cash within 60 days
                  following termination in the amount of two (2) times the
                  greater of (a) Executive's then current annual salary, or (b)
                  Employee's salary plus bonus compensation for the year most
                  recently ended as reportable on the applicable W-2.

                  (b) Plan Benefits under FX's Profit Sharing Plan. Except to
                  the extent expressly prohibited by any applicable law or
                  regulation, any and all restrictions, vesting schedules or
                  Schedule of exercise provided in the FX Profit Sharing
                  Retirement Plan (or any successor to it) shall immediately
                  lapse and Executive shall be entitled immediately to receive
                  all benefits previously granted him under that plan.

                  (c) Plan Benefits under FX's Stock and/or Incentive Plans.
                  Except to the extent expressly prohibited by any applicable
                  law or regulation, the Executive shall fully vest in and have
                  the right to exercise all outstanding options, stock purchase
                  awards, and other outstanding awards including shares as to
                  which he would not otherwise be vested or exercisable.

                  (d) Insurance and Other Special Benefits. For a period of two
                  (2) years, Executive shall continue to be covered by the life
                  insurance, medical insurance, and accident and disability
                  insurance plans of FX and its subsidiaries or any successor
                  plan or program in effect at or after Termination for
                  employees in the same class or category as was Executive prior
                  to his Termination, subject to the terms of such plans and to
                  Executive's making any payments therefor required of employees
                  in the same class or category as was Executive prior to his
                  Termination. In the event Executive is ineligible to continue
                  to be so covered under the terms of any such benefit plan or
                  program, or, in the event Executive is eligible but the
                  benefits applicable to Executive under any such plan or
                  program after Termination are not substantially equivalent to
                  the benefits applicable to Executive immediately prior to
                  Termination, then, for a period of two (2) years, FX shall
                  provide such substantially equivalent benefits, or such
                  additional benefits as may be necessary to make the benefits
                  applicable to Executive substantially equivalent to those in
                  effect before Termination, through other sources; provided,
                  however, that if during such period Executive should enter
                  into the employ of another company or firm, Executive's
                  participation in the comparable benefit provided by FX either
                  directly or through such other sources shall cease. Nothing
                  contained in this paragraph shall be deemed to require or
                  permit termination or restriction of any of Executive's
                  coverage under any plan or program of FX, or any of its
                  subsidiaries or any successor plan or program thereto to which
                  Executive is entitled under the terms of such plan.

                  (e) Other Benefit Plans. The specific arrangements referred to
                  in this Section 2 are not intended to exclude Executive's
                  Participation in other benefit plans in which Executive
                  currently participates or which are or may become available to
                  executive personnel generally in the class or category of
                  Executive or to preclude other compensation or benefits as may
                  be authorized by the Board of Directors from time to time.

<PAGE>

                  (f) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive's entitlement to benefits
                  under this plan shall not be governed by any duty to mitigate
                  his damages by seeking further employment nor offset by any
                  compensation which he may receive from future employment.

                  (g) Payment Obligations Absolute. Unless Section 3 is
                  applicable, FX's obligation to pay or cause to be paid to
                  Executive the benefits and to make the arrangements provided
                  in this Section 2 shall be absolute and unconditional and
                  shall not be affected by any circumstances, including without
                  limitation, any counterclaim or defense which FX may have
                  against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by or on
                  behalf of FX under this agreement shall, unless specifically
                  stated to the contrary in this agreement, be paid without
                  notice or demand. Each and every payment made hereunder by or
                  on behalf of FX shall be final and FX and its subsidiaries
                  shall not, for any reason whatsoever, seek to recover all or
                  any part of such payment from Executive or from whomever shall
                  be entitled thereto.

3. Conditions to the Obligations of FX. FX shall have no obligation to provide
or cause to be provided to Executive the rights and benefits described in
Section 2 hereof if either of the following events shall occur:

                  (a) Termination for Cause. If Executive engages in serious or
                  willful misconduct which is detrimental to the Company or its
                  shareholders or is convicted of a felony.

                  (b) Resignation as Director or Officer. If executive shall
                  fail, promptly after Termination and upon receiving a written
                  request to do so, to resign as a director and/or officer of FX
                  and each subsidiary and affiliate of FX of which he is then
                  serving as a director and/or officer.

4. Cooperation. Executive agrees that, at all times following Termination, he
will furnish such information and render such assistance and cooperation as may
reasonably be requested in connection with any litigation or legal proceedings
concerning FX or any of its subsidiaries (other than any legal proceedings
concerning Executive's employment). In connection with such cooperation, FX will
pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred in cooperating
with such requests.

5. Term of Agreement. Subject to Section 1 hereof, this Agreement shall
terminate on December 31, 2005; provided, however, that this Agreement shall
automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless FX notifies Executive
in writing at least 60 days prior to the expiration date that it does not desire
to renew the Agreement for an additional term; and provided further, however,
that such notice shall not be given and if given shall have no effect (i) within
two (2) years after a Change in Control or (ii) during any period of time when
FX has reason to believe that any third person has begun a tender or exchange
offer, circulated a proxy to stockholders, or taken other steps or formulated
plans to effect a Change in Control, such period of time to end when, in the
opinion of the Compensation Committee, the third person has abandoned or
terminated his efforts or plans to effect a Change in Control.

6. Expenses. FX shall pay or reimburse Executive for all costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by
Executive as a result of any claim, action or proceeding by Executive against FX
arising out of, or challenging the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement
or any provision of this agreement.

7. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) Severability. If any one or more of the provisions
                  contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be
                  invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such
                  invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect
                  the validity and enforceability of any other provisions
                  hereof. Further, should any provisions within this Agreement
                  ever be reformed or rewritten by a judicial body, those
                  provisions as rewritten shall be binding upon the Employer and
                  the Employee.

                  (b) Right of Setoff. The Employer and Employee shall each be
                  entitled, at its option and not in lieu of any other remedies
                  to which it may be entitled, to set off any amounts due from
                  the other or any affiliate of the other against any amount due
                  and payable by such person or any affiliate of such person
                  pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

                  (c) Representations and Warranties of the Employee. The
                  Employee represents and warrants to the Employer that (i) the
                  Employee understands and voluntarily agrees to the provisions

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  of this Agreement; (ii) the Employee is not aware of any
                  existing medical condition which might cause him to be or
                  become unable to fulfill his duties under this Agreement; and
                  (iii) the Employee is free to enter into this Agreement and
                  has no commitment, arrangement or understanding to or with any
                  third party that restrains or is in conflict with this
                  Agreement or that would operate to prevent the Employee from
                  performing the services to the Employer that the Employee has
                  agreed to provide hereunder.

                  (d) Succession. This Agreement and the rights and obligations
                  hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
                  the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives,
                  and shall also bind and inure to the benefit of any successor
                  of the Employer by merger or consolidation or any assignee of
                  all or substantially all of its property.

                  (e) Assignment. Except to any successor or assignee of the
                  Employer as provided in Section 7(d), neither this Agreement
                  nor any rights or benefits hereunder may be assigned by either
                  party hereto without the prior written consent of the other
                  party. Neither the Employee, the Employee's spouse, the
                  Employee's designated contingent beneficiary, nor their
                  estates shall have any right to anticipate, encumber, or
                  dispose of any payment due under this Agreement. Such payments
                  and other rights are expressly declared nonassignable and
                  nontransferable, except as specifically provided herein.

                  (f) Reimbursement of Expenses. In the event that it shall be
                  necessary or desirable for the Employee to retain legal
                  counsel and/or incur other costs and expenses in connection
                  with the enforcement of any and all of the Employee's rights
                  under this Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to
                  recover from the Employer reasonable attorneys' fees, costs,
                  and expenses incurred by the Employee in connection with the
                  enforcement of said rights if the Employee prevails in such
                  enforcement action. However, in the event that it shall be
                  necessary or desirable for the Employer to retain legal
                  counsel and/or incur other costs and expenses in connection
                  with the enforcement of any and all of the Employer's rights
                  under this Agreement, the Employer shall be entitled to
                  recover from the Employee reasonable attorneys' fees, costs,
                  and expenses incurred by the Employer in connection with the
                  enforcement of said rights if the Employer prevails in such
                  enforcement action. Fees payable hereunder shall be in
                  addition to any other damages, fees, or amounts provided for
                  herein.

                  (g) Indemnification. The Employer and Employee have entered
                  into a separate indemnification agreement dated November 5,
                  1996.

                  (h) Notices. Any notices or other communications required or
                  permitted under this Agreement shall be sufficiently given if
                  personally delivered, if sent by facsimile or telecopy
                  transmission or other electronic communication confirmed by
                  sending a copy thereof by United States mail, if sent by
                  United States mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid,
                  or if sent by prepaid overnight courier addressed as set forth
                  on the signature page hereto or such other addresses as shall
                  be furnished in writing by any party in the manner for giving
                  notices hereunder, and any such notice or communication shall
                  be deemed to have been given as of the date so delivered or
                  sent by facsimile or telecopy transmission or other electronic
                  communication, one day after the date so sent by overnight
                  courier, or three days after the date of deposit in the United
                  States mail.

                  (i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
                  Agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
                  subject matter contained herein. No change, addition, or
                  amendment shall be made except by written agreement signed by
                  the parties hereto.

         2.30 "K-Test Contribution Percentage" shall mean the ratio (expressed

Employee is eligible to participate (other than those that may not be

Highly Compensated Employees and the K-Test Average Contribution Percentage for

Non-Elective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions included as
K-Test Contributions shall be included as M-Test Contributions. In determining
the amount of a Participant's Elective Deferrals under this Section the Plan
Administrator shall take into account elective deferrals made by the Participant
under any other plan that is aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Code
ss.401(a)(4) or Code ss.410(b) (other than Code ss.410(b)(2)(A)(ii)) and any

Employer.

         Contributions or benefits provided by the leasing organization that are
attributable to services performed for the Employer shall be treated as provided
by the Employer. If the Leased Employees constitute not more than twenty percent

Deferral contributions and who is not credited with any M- Test Contributions
for the Plan Year shall be zero (0).

Contribution, provided that, any Qualified Non-Elective Contributions included
as M-Test Contributions shall not increase the difference between the M-Test
Average Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees and the M-Test
Average Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Employees; and,
further provided that, no Qualified Non-Elective Contributions included as
M-Test Contributions shall be included as K-Test Contributions. In determining

any other plan satisfying Code ss.401(k)(3) and Reg. ss.1.401(k)-1(b)(3) that

such plans and this Plan as a single plan.

applicable non-discrimination test, including the K-Test and M-Test defined in
this Plan, without regard to whether he has executed a Salary Reduction
Agreement and agreed to have contributions made to this Plan through Elective
Deferrals. A Participant may nevertheless be considered "active" or "inactive"
depending on whether he is eligible to make Elective Deferral Contributions or
receive an allocation of Employer Contributions. A Participant who has an
Account in the Plan but is an Inactive Participant because he or she has
incurred a Termination of Employment shall not be treated as a Participant in
the Plan for purposes of any applicable non-discrimination test, including the

                  Service is required, the twelve (12) consecutive month period
                  which begins on the Employee's Employment Commencement Date or
                  Re-employment Commencement Date.

         (b)      "Subsequent Eligibility Computation Period" shall mean, for
                  any Employee in any Plan Year in which a Year of Eligibility

                  Service is required for participation, the Eligibility
                  Computation Period shall be the number of months or days of
                  Eligibility Service required.

         3.04 "Hour of Service" shall mean and be determined as follows:

         (a)      Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
                  payment, for the performance of duties for the Employer. These
                  hours shall be credited to the Employee for the year or years
                  in which the duties are performed.

         (b)      Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
                  payment, by the Employer on account of a period of time during
                  which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the
                  employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation,
                  holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff,
                  jury duty, military duty or Leave of Absence. Notwithstanding
                  the preceding sentence:

                  (1)      No more than five hundred and one (501) Hours of
                           Service are required to be credited under this
                           paragraph during which the Employee performs no
                           duties (whether or not such period occurs in a single
                           computation period);

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

                                       11
<PAGE>

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

                  For purposes of this paragraph (b), a payment shall be deemed
                  to be made by or due from an Employer regardless of whether
                  such payment is made by or due from the Employer directly, or
                  indirectly through, among others, a trust fund or insurer to
                  which Employer contributes or pays premiums and regardless of
                  whether contributions made or due to the trust fund, insurer
                  or other entity are for the benefit of particular Employees or
                  are on behalf of a group of Employees in the aggregate. Hours
                  under this paragraph (b) shall be calculated and credited
                  pursuant to DOL Reg. ss.2530.200b-2, paragraphs (b) and (c),
                  which are incorporated herein by this reference.

         (c)      Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of
                  damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer. The
                  same Hours of Service shall not be credited both under
                  paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, and under
                  this paragraph (c). These hours shall be credited to the
                  Employee for the year or years to which the award or agreement
                  pertains rather than the year in which the award, agreement or
                  payment is made.

         (d)      Hours of Service shall be determined on the basis of actual
                  hours for which an Employee is paid, entitled to payment or
                  for which back pay is awarded or agreed to.

         (e)      For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1984, in the case
                  of an Employee who is absent from work for any period:

                  (1)      By reason of the pregnancy of the Employee;

                  (2)      By reason of the birth of a child of the Employee;

                  (3)      By reason of the placement of a child with the
                           Employee in connection with the adoption of such
                           child by such Employee; or

                  (4)      For purposes of caring for such child for a period
                           beginning immediately following such birth or
                           placement.

                           Hours of Service shall include the Hours of Service
                           that otherwise would normally have been credited to
                           such Employee but for such absence; or in any case in
                           which the Plan is unable to determine the Hours of
                           Service to be credited, eight (8) Hours of Service
                           for each regularly scheduled work day of such
                           absence. The total number of hours treated as Hours
                           of Service under this Section by reason of any
                           pregnancy or placement shall not exceed five hundred
                           one (501) hours less the number of Hours of Service
                           credited to an Employee pursuant to subsections (a)
                           through (e) above, for an absence described in this
                           subsection (f). The hours described in this
                           subsection (f) shall be treated as Hours of Service
                           only in the computation period in which the absence
                           from work begins, if an Employee would be prevented
                           from incurring a One-Year Break in Service in such
                           computation period solely because the period of
                           absence is treated as Hours of Service as provided
                           herein; or in any other case, in the immediately
                           following computation period. Notwithstanding the
                           foregoing, no credit will be given pursuant to

                                       12
<PAGE>

                           this subsection (f) unless the Employee furnishes to
                           the Plan Administrator such timely information as the
                           Plan Administrator may reasonably require to
                           establish that the absence from work is for reasons
                           referred to herein, and the number of days for which
                           there was such an absence.

         (f)      Hours of Service shall be aggregated for service with all FX
                  Employers, however, in no event shall duplicate credit be
                  given for the same Hours of Service.

         (g)      The Plan Administrator may use any records to determine Hours
                  of Service that it considers an accurate reflection of the
                  facts.

         (h)      When crediting Hours of Service for Employees who are paid on
                  an hourly basis the Plan Administrator shall use the "actual"
                  method. For purposes of the Plan, "actual" method shall mean
                  the determination of Hours of Service from records of hours
                  worked and hours for which the Employer makes payment or for
                  which payment is due from the Employer. When crediting Hours
                  of Service for Employees who are not paid on an hourly basis,
                  the Plan Administrator shall use the "salaried earnings"
                  method. With respect to an Employee whose Compensation
                  consists primarily of periodic salary payments, "salaried
                  earnings" method shall mean the determination of Hours of
                  Service from records showing payments made to the Employee or
                  payments due to the Employee from the Employer. In applying
                  the "salaried earnings" method, an Employee who receives
                  credit for four hundred thirty-five (435) hours and for eight
                  hundred seventy (870) hours shall be deemed to have received
                  credit for the equivalent of five hundred (500) Hours of
                  Service and one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service
                  respectively.

         3.05 "One Year Break in Service" shall mean a twelve (12) consecutive
month period during which an Employee has not completed more than five hundred
(500) Hours of Service, regardless of whether the Employee has incurred a
Termination of Employment. For purposes of vesting, such twelve (12) consecutive
month periods shall be measured on the same basis as Years of Vesting Service.
For purposes of eligibility to participate, the Plan shall not apply any break
in service rule. The following types of absence shall not constitute a One-Year
Break in Service:

         (a)      Temporary leave of absence granted by the Employer for
                  sickness, or extended vacation, provided that persons under
                  similar circumstances shall be treated alike;

         (b)      Absence due to illness or accident while regular remuneration
                  is paid;

         (c)      Absence for military service or significant civilian service
                  for the United States, provided the absent Employee returns to
                  service with the Employer within thirty (30) days of his/her
                  release from such active military duty or service or any
                  longer period during which his/her right to re-employment is
                  protected by law.

         3.06 "Re-employment Commencement Date" shall mean the date on which an
Employee, who has both incurred a Termination of Employment from the Employer
and has had a One Year Break in Service as a result of that termination, first
performs an Hour of Service for the Employer following such Break in Service.

         3.07 "Termination of Employment" with respect to any Employee or
Participant shall occur upon the separation from service (effective January 1,
2002, severance from employment) of the Employee or Participant due to
resignation, discharge, death, retirement, failure to return to

                                       13
<PAGE>

active work at the end of an authorized leave of absence or the authorized
extension(s) thereof, failure to return to active work when duly called
following a temporary layoff, or upon the happening of any other event or
circumstance which, under the then current policy of the FX Employer, results in

         3.12 Special Rules for Crediting Service: In crediting Service under

                  in the uniformed services of the United States (as defined in
                  chapter 43 title 38 of the United States Code), provided:

                  (1)      the employee provides advance notice of the service
                           to the FX Employer, when such notice is practical;

                           right to re-employment is protected by law; and

                  (4)      the cumulative length of the Employee's absence from
                           employment due to the service does not exceed five
                           (5) years.

<PAGE>

                  (2)      if the Hours of Service cannot reasonably be
                           determined, the Hours of Service the Employee would
                           have worked had he or she worked during his/her
                           Qualified Military Service at his/her average rate
                           during the twelve (12) month period immediately
                           preceding his/her Qualified Military Service or, if
                           shorter, his/her entire period of employment
                           preceding the Qualified Military Service.

         (c)      Compensation (as defined in Section 2.10) shall include
                  imputed compensation during an Employee's Qualified Military
                  Service. Imputed compensation shall be:

                  (1)      the compensation the Employee would have received but
                           for his/her Qualified Military Service; or

                  (2)      if the compensation is not reasonably certain, the
                           compensation the Employee would have received had he
                           or she received compensation during his/her qualified
                           Military Leave at his/her average rate during the
                           twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
                           his/her Qualified Military Service, or, if shorter,
                           his/her entire period of employment preceding his/her
                           Qualified Military Service.

         (d)      A Participant who returns to employment after any Qualified
                  Military Service shall be entitled to make additional Elective
                  Deferrals to the Plan up to the maximum amount of the Elective
                  Deferrals the Participant would have been permitted to make
                  based upon his/her imputed compensation during the Qualified
                  Military Service, taking into account any other Elective
                  Deferrals made by the Participant during the Qualified
                  Military Service. The period during which the additional
                  Elective Deferrals may be made shall commence on the date the
                  Participant returns to employment and shall extend until the
                  expiration of the lesser of (i) the period that is three (3)
                  times the length of the Participant's Qualified Military
                  Service or (ii) five (5) years. Payment of Matching
                  Contributions attributable to Elective Deferrals of imputed
                  compensation during Qualified Military Service shall be made
                  at the same time as other Matching Contributions, based on the
                  time the Elective Deferrals are actually paid to the Plan. The
                  Matching Contributions need not include earnings that would
                  have accrued had the Participant continued performing his/her
                  duties for the Employer during Qualified Military Service.

         (e)      Elective Deferrals of a Participant's imputed compensation
                  during his/her Qualified Military Service shall be treated as
                  Elective Deferrals and as K-Test Contributions with respect to
                  the Plan Year to which the imputed compensation relates, if
                  this Plan Year is not the same Plan Year in which the Elective
                  Deferrals are received by the Plan. Any Matching Contributions
                  based on Elective Deferrals of a Participant's imputed
                  compensation during his/her Qualified Military Service shall
                  be treated as M-Test Contributions with respect to the Plan
                  Year to which the Elective Deferrals relate, if this Plan Year
                  is not the same Plan Year in which the Elective Deferrals are
                  received by the Plan.

         (f)      Repayment of any Participant loan from the Plan shall be
                  suspended during Qualified Military Service and the loan
                  repayment period shall be extended by the length of the
                  Qualified Military Service.

         An Eligible Employee who becomes a Participant and who also executes a
written Salary Reduction Agreement in the manner set forth in procedures issued
by the Plan Administrator shall be considered to be an active Participant. An
Eligible Employee shall not be required to execute a Salary Reduction Agreement
in order to become an active Participant in the Plan, however, as a condition to
participation in Salary Reduction Contributions the Eligible Employee shall
first execute a written Salary Reduction Agreement in the manner set forth in
procedures issued by the Plan Administrator. An Employee who was a Participant
in the Prior Plan on the day before the Effective Date shall continue as a
Participant in this Plan on that date.

         4.02 Plan Administrator to Furnish Eligibility Information: As soon as
practicable after each Employee's Employment Commencement Date, the Plan
Administrator shall determine the Entry Date when the Employee shall first
become eligible to participate in the Plan and shall notify each Employee of
his/her eligibility, and of any application or other requirements for
participation.

         4.03 Information to be Provided by Employee: At the request of the Plan
Administrator, each Eligible Employee shall furnish such information as is not
available from the Employer. As a condition to participation in the Plan, the
Employee shall first complete, execute and deliver a written Salary Reduction
Agreement as reasonably required by the Plan Administrator.

         4.04 Reclassification of an Eligible Employee or Excluded Employee: Any
Eligible Employee, whether or not he has previously participated in the Plan,
who was previously classified as an Excluded Employee and is reclassified as an
Eligible Employee shall be eligible to enter the Plan as an active Participant
on the later of the date of his/her reclassification or the Entry Date he would
otherwise join if he had not been classified as an Excluded Employee, provided
he has otherwise satisfied the requirements of Section 4.01.

         Any Participant who is reclassified as an Excluded Employee during the
Plan Year shall immediately cease Elective Deferrals to the Plan and shall no
longer be eligible for Employer Contributions as of the date the
reclassification occurs.

         4.05 Re-employment and Commencement of Participation: An Eligible
Employee who had met the requirements of Section 4.01(a), (b) or (c) but
terminated employment prior to his/her Entry Date shall become a Participant on
the date he is re-employed by the Employer, but in no event earlier than the
Entry Date he would have joined had he not ceased employment. An Employee who
was a Participant shall again become a Participant on the date he is re-employed
by the Employer. The Employee who becomes a Participant may immediately elect to
execute a Salary Reduction

                                       16

Agreement and commence Elective Deferrals, if it is executed within the time
period specified by the Plan Administrator pursuant to a uniform and
non-discriminatory policy. If not so executed, the Participant may elect to
execute a Salary Reduction Agreement and commence Elective Deferrals as of the
first day of any subsequent calendar quarter thereafter.

         4.06 Election Not To Participate: At any time after the Plan
Administrator notifies an Employee of his eligibility to participate in this
Plan, the eligible Employee may elect not to become an active Participant by not
executing a Salary Reduction Agreement or by indicating on the enrollment form
his election not to participate. The electing Employee may later become an
active Participant effective as of any subsequent Entry Date, if the Employee
then meets the requirements for participation under this Article IV and properly
executes a Salary Reduction Agreement.

         4.07 Effect of Participation: A Participant who has executed a Salary
Reduction Agreement shall be conclusively deemed to have assented to this Plan
and to any subsequent amendments, and shall be bound thereby with the same force
and effect as if he had formally executed this Plan.

                     PARTICIPANT AND EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

         5.01 Elective Deferrals:

         (a)      Each Participant may elect to defer any whole percentage of
                  the Participant's Annual Compensation, subject to a minimum of
                  one percent (1%) and to a maximum of one hundred percent
                  (100%). The amount of the deferral shall be contingent on the
                  Participant electing and authorizing the Elective Deferral
                  amount through a Salary Reduction Agreement. The Salary
                  Reduction Agreement and the Participant's authorization
                  thereunder may be evidenced by a written document executed by
                  the Participant and filed with the Administrator on a form
                  prescribed for this purpose or by oral instructions directly
                  from the Participant to the Administrator and confirmed to the
                  Participant in writing. The Salary Reduction Agreement may
                  also be completed and executed by the Participant through any
                  electronic means or method approved by the Plan Administrator.
                  The Salary Reduction Agreement shall be subject to the
                  following rules:

                  (1)      The Salary Reduction Agreement shall apply to each
                           payroll period during which an effective Salary
                           Reduction Agreement is on file with the
                           Administrator. The Salary Reduction Agreement shall
                           be applicable only to the following forms of
                           Compensation: wages, salary, overtime pay and
                           commissions. With the approval of the Administrator a
                           Participant may identify different components of his
                           Compensation (such as wages, overtime pay, etc.) and
                           specify different percentage deferral rates to apply
                           to each component. A Participant may also elect and
                           authorize through a separate Salary Reduction
                           Agreement an Elective Deferral amount (subject to the
                           same rules in (a) above) from any bonus or lump sum
                           severance payment component of the Participant's
                           Compensation.

                  (2)      The amount by which the Participant's Compensation is
                           reduced under the Salary Reduction Agreement may be
                           changed by a Participant no more than quarterly
                           during the Plan Year. A change shall be evidenced by
                           a written document, by oral instructions directly
                           from the Participant with written confirmation in
                           accordance with rules and procedures established by
                           the Administrator or through any electronic means or
                           method approved by the Plan Administrator.

                  (3)      Salary Reduction Agreements and Amendments to Salary
                           Reduction Agreements shall be effective as of the
                           first payroll period commencing with or immediately
                           following the first day of the calendar quarter
                           following the date the Salary Reduction Agreement or
                           the Amendment is executed orally authorized or
                           electronically completed by the Participant and
                           received and confirmed by the Administrator.

                  (4)      The Administrator may amend or revoke a Salary
                           Reduction Agreement with any Participant at any time
                           if the Administrator determines that a revocation or
                           amendment is necessary to ensure that the
                           Participant's Elective Deferral for any Plan Year
                           will not exceed any Plan limitations.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         (b)      The Elective Deferral amounts designated by the Participant in
                  the Salary Reduction Agreement shall be withheld and
                  contributed to the Plan by the Employer without regard to Net
                  Profits to the Participant's Elective Deferral Account. Unless
                  otherwise authorized by the Plan Administrator, contributions
                  made through payroll deductions shall be pursuant to the
                  Salary Reduction Agreement executed by the Participant or
                  orally authorized by the Participant and confirmed by the Plan
                  Administrator or authorized by any other electronic means or
                  method approved by the Plan Administrator.

         (c)      Commencing January 1, 2002, and for all Plan Years thereafter,
                  an Employee who is eligible to make Elective Deferrals under
                  this Plan and who attains Age 50 before the close of the Plan
                  Year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in
                  accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code
                  ss.414(v). Catch-up contributions shall not be taken into
                  account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan
                  implementing the required limitations of Code ss.ss.402(g) and
                  415. The Plan Administrator shall not treat catch up
                  contributions as failing to satisfy any provisions of the Plan
                  implementing the requirements of Code ss.ss.401(k)(3),
                  401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable.

         (e)      Each Eligible Employee (whether or not an active Participant
                  in the Plan) shall receive from the Plan Administrator no
                  later than one (1) month prior to January 1, 2005, and
                  thereafter, at least one month before the commencement of each
                  subsequent Plan Year, a written notice describing the Eligible
                  Employee's rights and obligations under the Plan, including
                  the Eligible Employee's right to receive a fully vested
                  Matching Contribution if the Eligible Employee executes a
                  Salary Reduction Agreement and makes Elective Deferral
                  Contributions to the Plan. The notice shall be sufficiently
                  accurate and comprehensive to inform the Eligible Employee of
                  the his rights and obligations, and shall be written in a
                  manner calculated to be understood by the Eligible Employee.

         5.02 Payment to Trustee: The Employer shall transmit to the Trustee the
amounts withheld by it pursuant to Section 5.01 above as soon as
administratively feasible, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th)
business day of the month following the month in which the amounts are withheld
or received by the Employer. However, the Employer shall not transmit to the
Trustee any amounts withheld by it during the Plan Year pursuant to a deferral
election under Section 5.01 that, in the Plan Administrator's opinion, would
cause the Plan to fail to meet the limitations described in Section 5.10 for
that Plan Year. Such amounts withheld and not transmitted to the Trustee shall
be returned by the Employer to the respective Participants.

         5.03 Suspension of Deferrals: A Participant may notify the Plan
Administrator electronically, orally or in writing of his/her intention to
suspend his/her election to have a portion of his/her Annual Compensation
deferred. The suspension shall be effective for the payroll period commencing
thirty (30) days after the date the notice of suspension is received (unless an
earlier effective date is administratively feasible) and for each payroll period
thereafter, until a new Salary Reduction Agreement is entered into by the
Participant. The Participant shall be considered a Participant hereunder for all
other purposes if his/her employment continues, however, he shall not be
considered to be an active Participant.

         5.04 No Voluntary Contributions by Participants: A Participant shall
not be required nor permitted to make voluntary after-tax contributions to the
Plan.

         5.05 Rollover Contributions by Participants: A Participant (or an
Employee who is expected to become a Participant) may rollover directly to this
Plan (or indirectly through an individual retirement account, annuity or bond)
the cash or cash proceeds from the sale of property distributed to the Employee
in the form of an "eligible rollover distribution" as that term is defined in
Section 11.03(a)) from another plan qualified under Code ss.401(a). For this
purpose this Plan shall be an "eligible retirement plan" as that term is defined
in Section 11.03(b). The amount shall be credited to his Participant Rollover
Contribution Account, provided:

         (a)      The Participant provides adequate evidence to the Plan
                  Administrator that the amount satisfies the requirements of
                  Code ss.402(c) regarding amounts that may be rolled over;

         (b)      If the amount is rolled over indirectly to this Plan through
                  an individual retirement account, annuity, or bond, the amount
                  does not include life insurance policies, amounts contributed
                  (or deemed to have been contributed) by the Participant or
                  amounts distributed from a Plan not qualified under Code
                  ss.401(a); and

         (c)      If the amount to be rolled over to this Plan is received as a
                  direct transfer pursuant to Code ss.402(e)(6) or rolled over
                  after distribution to the Participant within sixty (60) days
                  following its distribution.

         The Plan will accept participant rollover contributions and/or direct
rollovers of distributions made after December 31, 2001, from any qualified plan
described in Code ss.401(a) or Code ss.403(a), an annuity contract described in
Code ss.403(b) or an eligible plan under Code ss.457(b) that is maintained by a
state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a
state or political subdivision of a state. The plan will also accept a
participant rollover contribution of the portion of a distribution from an
individual retirement account or annuity described in Code ss.408(a) or (b) that
is eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includable in gross income.
The Plan will accept rollovers from other plans described in this paragraph that
also include after-tax employee contributions, provided that the after tax
contributions are received in a direct rollover as described in Code
ss.401(a)(31)(A).

         5.06 Employer Matching Contributions: For each Plan Year the Employer
may contribute Employer Securities to the Plan in an amount, determined without
regard to Net Profits, that will be sufficient to credit the Employer Matching
Contribution Account of each Participant who satisfies the requirements of
Section 6.04, with amounts that satisfy the Employer's Matching Contribution
percentage as determined by the Employer on a discretionary basis for the Plan
Year.

         The amount of Employer Securities to be contributed as an Employer
Matching Contribution and the manner of allocation shall be determined annually
by the Employer no later than the time prescribed by law (including any
extensions thereof) for filing the Employer's Federal income tax return for the
Plan Year for which the Matching Contribution is made. If more than one FX
Employer participates in this Plan, then each FX Employer may set its own
Matching Contribution level or formula to be applicable to its own Employees,
without regard to that determined by other sponsoring FX Employers. The Matching
Contribution shall be made in the form of cash or Employer Securities only. If
the contribution is in the form of cash, the Plan Administrator, in its
discretion, may direct the Trustee to apply the cash immediately toward the
purchase of Employer Securities. The Employer Matching Contribution for
Employees of the Sponsoring Employer and each Participating FX Employer shall be
determined each Plan Year by the Sponsoring Employer and each Participating FX
Employer respectively, or shall be as set forth in the Supplemental
Participation Agreement executed by the Participating FX Employer. The
allocation of the Employer

                                       20
<PAGE>

Matching Contribution amount shall be determined solely by reference to the
ratio percentage of the Participant's Elective Deferral compared to the
aggregate of the forms of the Participant's Compensation that are subject to the
Salary Reduction Agreement as specified in Section 5.01(a)(1).

         If the Employer or Participating FX Employer makes a Matching
Contribution to the Plan at any time during the Plan Year (such as on a calendar
quarter basis), any limit on the amount of Employer Matching Contribution shall
not be determined by reference to Annual Compensation for the Plan Year, but by
reference to Compensation paid only during the period to which the Matching
Contribution relates. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, no contribution in
excess of the maximum amount that would constitute an allowable deduction for
Federal income tax purposes under the applicable provisions of the Code, as now
in force or hereafter amended, shall be required to be made by the Employer
under this Section. If the Employer makes Matching Contributions for any Plan
Year as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Employer may also
elect to make an additional Matching Contribution for the Plan Year in an amount
that would have been made by the Employer had Matching Contributions been
calculated on an annual, rather than periodic, basis. Such additional Matching
Contributions must be made by the Employer on a uniform non-discriminatory
basis.

         5.06A Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions: Effective January 1,
2005, and for each Plan Year commencing thereon or thereafter, the Employer may
contribute to the Plan an amount, determined without regard to Net Profits,
which will be sufficient to credit the Employer Matching Contribution Account of
each Participant who is a Non-Highly Compensated Employee and who satisfies the
requirements of Section 6.04, with amounts which satisfy the Employer's Matching
Contribution percentage as determined by the Employer on a discretionary basis
for the Plan Year. In no event however, shall the Employer Matching Contribution
for any Participant who is a Non-Highly Compensated Employee in a Plan Year,
when determined as a percentage of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan
Year, ever be less than the percentage amounts shown in the following table:

         Participant's Elective             Percentage of Employer
         Deferral percentage:               Matching Contribution:
         --------------------               ----------------------
                  0%                                 0.0%
                  1%                                 1.0%
                  2%                                 2.0%
                  3%                                 3.0%
                  4%                                 3.5%
                  5%                                 4.0%

         The Employer may also contribute to the Plan an amount, determined
without regard to Net Profits, which will be sufficient to credit the Employer
Matching Contribution Account of each Participant who is a Highly Compensated
Employee and who satisfies the requirements of Section 6.04, with amounts which
satisfy the Employer's Matching Contribution percentage as determined by the
Employer on a discretionary basis for the Plan Year. In no event however, shall
the rate of Matching Contributions with respect to Elective Deferrals made by
any Highly Compensated Employee exceed the rate of Matching Contributions with
respect to Elective Deferrals made by any Participant who is a Non-Highly
Compensated Employee. Excess Matching Contributions for Employees of the
Sponsoring Employer or a Participating FX Employer shall be determined each Plan
Year by the Sponsoring Employer and each Participating FX Employer respectively,
or shall be as set forth in the Supplemental Participation Agreement executed by
the Participating FX Employer. If the Employer or Participating FX Employer
makes a Matching Contribution in excess of that set forth in the table in this
Section, in no event shall the rate of

                                       21
<PAGE>

Matching Contributions increase as the rate of the Participant's Elective
Deferrals increase. The Matching Contribution shall be made in the form of cash
or Employer Securities only. If the contribution is in the form of cash, the
Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may direct the Trustee to apply the cash
immediately toward the purchase of Employer Securities.

         If the Employer or Participating FX Employer makes a Matching
Contribution to the Plan at any time during the Plan Year (such as on a calendar
quarter basis), any limit on the amount of Employer Matching Contribution shall
not be determined by reference to Annual Compensation for the Plan Year, but by
reference to Compensation paid only during the period to which the Matching
Contribution relates. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, no contribution in
excess of the maximum amount which would constitute an allowable deduction for
federal income tax purposes under the applicable provisions of the Code, as now
in force or hereafter amended, shall be required to be made by the Employer
under this Section.

         5.07 Employer Profit Sharing Contributions: In addition to (or in lieu
of) Employer Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.06 for each Plan
Year and effective January 1, 2005, in addition to Employer Safe Harbor Matching
Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.06A for each Plan Year, each FX
Employer may contribute, without regard to Net Profits, an amount determined by
its Board of Directors as an Employer Profit Sharing Contribution. The Employer
may make the Profit Sharing Contribution in cash or in kind, provided however,
that if the Profit Sharing Contribution is made in cash the Plan shall
immediately acquire Employer Securities with the entire amount of the
contribution and if the Profit Sharing Contribution is made in kind, it shall be
made in the form of Employer Securities only. The Employer Profit Sharing
Contribution for the Plan Year shall be allocated as provided in Section 6.02(c)
to the Accounts of those Participants who satisfy the requirements of Section
6.04. An Employer may reserve the right to increase or decrease the amount from
year to year, as determined by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the
previous sentence, no contribution in excess of the maximum amount that would
constitute an allowable deduction for Federal income tax purposes under the
applicable provisions of the Code, as now in force or hereafter amended, shall
be required to be made by the Employer under this Section.

         The amount of the contribution to be credited to the Employer Profit
Sharing Contribution Accounts of the Participants shall be in addition to any
non-vested forfeitures from Employer Profit- Sharing Contribution Accounts of
the Participants to be allocated during the Plan Year pursuant to Section 11.06.
The amount of each FX Employer's Profit Sharing Contribution shall be allocated
only to the Accounts of those Participants who are Employees of that FX
Employer.

         5.08 Time and Method of Payment: All payments of Employer Matching and
Profit Sharing Contributions shall be made directly to the Trustee and shall be
paid no later than the time prescribed by law (including any extensions thereof)
for filing the Employer's Federal income tax return for the Plan Year for which
they are made. All such Contributions shall be in the form of Employer
Securities only. The Employer may in its sole discretion, at any time during the
Plan Year, make one or more partial contributions of Employer Securities to the
Trustee on an estimated basis. Any amount so contributed in advance shall be
applied against the amount thereafter determined to be contributable by the
Employer and shall be credited by the Plan Administrator to the Participants'
Employer Contribution Accounts as of the end of the calendar quarter for which
the contribution is made.

         5.09 Employer Contribution Accounts: The Plan Administrator shall
establish and maintain an Employer Matching Contribution Account, as defined in
Section 2.01(c) and an Employer Profit Sharing Account as defined in Section
2.01(d) for each Participant eligible to receive an Employer Matching
Contribution or Employer Profit Sharing Contribution. Contributions

                                       22
<PAGE>

of Employer Securities to a Participant's Employer Matching Contribution Account
and Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account after the Effective Date shall
also be allocated and credited to the Participant's Employer Securities Account.
The establishment of the accounts is for record keeping purposes only, and a
physical segregation of assets shall not be required.

         5.10 Limitations on Contributions: Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Plan, all contributions shall be subject to the following limitations:

         (a)      The total amount of a Participant's Elective Deferrals during
                  any calendar year shall not exceed Eleven Thousand Dollars
                  ($11,000), which amount shall be indexed at the same time and
                  in the same manner as the dollar limitation for defined
                  benefit plans in Code ss.415(b)(1)(A). For this purpose a
                  Participant's Elective Deferrals to this Plan plus the
                  Participant's elective deferrals pursuant to any other Code
                  ss.401(k) arrangement, elective deferrals under a simplified
                  employee pension plan and salary reduction contributions to a
                  tax-sheltered annuity, irrespective of whether the Employer or
                  any member of an Affiliated Group to which the Employer
                  belongs maintains the arrangement, plan or annuity, shall be
                  aggregated

         (b)      The K-Test Average Contribution Percentage for Participants
                  who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed in any
                  Plan Year the greater of:

                  (1)      The K-Test Average Contribution Percentage for
                           Participants who are Non- Highly Compensated
                           Employees multiplied by 1.25; or

                  (2)      The lesser of the K-Test Average Contribution
                           Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly
                           Compensated Employees multiplied by two (2) or the
                           K-Test Average Contribution Percentage for
                           Participants who are Non- Highly Compensated
                           Employees plus two (2).

         (c)      The M-Test Average Contribution Percentage for Participants
                  who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed in any
                  Plan Year the greater of:

                  (1)      The M-Test Average Contribution Percentage for
                           Participants who are Non- Highly Compensated
                           Employees multiplied by 1.25; or

                  (2)      The lesser of the M-Test Average Contribution
                           Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly
                           Compensated Employees multiplied by two (2) or the
                           M-Test Average Contribution Percentage for
                           Participants who are Non- Highly Compensated
                           Employees plus two (2).

         (d)      In any Plan Year in which the requirements of both (b)(1) and
                  (c)(1) above are not met, the sum of the K-Test Average
                  Contribution Percentage and the M-Test Average Contribution
                  Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated
                  Employees shall not exceed the greater of:

                  (1) The sum of:

                           (i)      The greater of the K-Test Average
                                    Contribution Percentage or the M- Test
                                    Average Contribution Percentage for
                                    Participants who are Non- Highly Compensated

                                       23
<PAGE>

                           (ii)     The lesser of the K-Test Average
                                    Contribution Percentage or the M- Test
                                    Average Contribution Percentage for
                                    Participants who are Non- Highly Compensated
                                    Employees plus two (2), but in no event
                                    greater than the lesser of the K-Test
                                    Average Contribution Percentage or the
                                    M-Test Average Contribution Percentage for
                                    Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated
                                    Employees multiplied by two (2); or

                  (2) The sum of:

                           (i)      The lesser of the K-Test Average
                                    Contribution Percentage or the M- Test
                                    Average Contribution Percentage for
                                    Participants who are Non- Highly Compensated
                                    Employees multiplied by 1.25; and

                           (ii)     The greater of the K-Test Average
                                    Contribution Percentage or the M- Test
                                    Average Contribution Percentage for

                                    Employees plus two (2), but in no event
                                    greater than the lesser of the K-Test
                                    Average Contribution Percentage or the

                                    Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated
                                    Employees multiplied by two (2).

                  For this purpose, the K-Test Average Contribution Percentage
                  and M-Test Average Contribution Percentage for Participants
                  who are Highly Compensated Employees shall be determined after
                  any distributions or re-characterizations pursuant to Section
                  5.12(a), (b) and (c). The test described in this subsection
                  5.10(d) shall not apply for Plan Years commencing after
                  December 31, 2001.

                  For purposes of applying the tests in (b), (c) and (d) above
                  in any Plan Year, the K- Test Average Contribution Percentage
                  and the M-Test Average Contribution Percentage for
                  Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be
                  based on the prior Plan Year.

                  The Employer may aggregate this Plan with one or more other
                  plans for purposes of applying the tests in (b), (c) and (d)
                  above, in which case all K-Test Contributions and M-Test
                  Contributions to all such plans shall be treated as made under
                  this Plan, provided that, the aggregated plans may not include
                  an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and all such aggregated
                  plans must have the same plan year.

         5.11 Excess Contributions: In accordance with the limitations on
contributions described in Section 5.10, the following amounts shall be treated
as excess contributions under this Plan:

         (a)      Excess Deferrals: With respect to any calendar year, amounts
                  designated by Participants in writing as Excess Deferrals not
                  later than the first March 1 following the end of the calendar
                  year, in accordance with such procedures as the Plan
                  Administrator shall specify, less any Excess K-Test
                  Contributions previously distributed or recharacterized for
                  the Plan Year beginning in the calendar year in which the
                  Excess Deferral is made, pursuant to Section 5.12(b).

         (b)      Excess K-Test Contributions: With respect to any Plan Year,
                  the excess of the aggregate amount of K-Test Contributions
                  actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for
                  the Plan Year over the maximum amount of such contributions
                  permitted under Section 5.10(b). The Excess K-Test
                  Contributions of

                                       24
<PAGE>

                  an individual Highly Compensated Employee shall be determined
                  (i) by calculating the total dollar amount resulting from a
                  reduction of the K-Test Contributions made on behalf of Highly
                  Compensated Employees in order of the K-Test Contribution
                  Percentages, beginning with the highest percentage, until the
                  limitations of Section 5.10(b) are met, and (ii) by reducing
                  the K-Test Contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated
                  Employees in order of the dollar amount of K-Test
                  Contributions for each Highly Compensated Employee, beginning
                  with the highest dollar amount, and subtracting such amounts
                  from the total dollar amount determined in (i) above until the
                  total dollar amount is exhausted. The Excess K-Test
                  Contributions allocated to a Participant shall be reduced by
                  any excess deferrals previously distributed for the calendar
                  year ending with or within the Plan Year in which the Excess
                  K-Test Contributions arose, pursuant to Section 5.12(a).

         (c)      Excess M-Test Contributions: With respect to any Plan Year,
                  the excess of the aggregate amount of M-Test Contributions
                  actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for
                  such Plan Year over the maximum amount of such contributions
                  permitted under Section 5.10(c). The Excess M-Test
                  Contributions of an individual Highly Compensated Employee
                  shall be determined (i) by calculating the total dollar amount
                  resulting from a reduction of the M-Test Contributions made on
                  behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of the M-Test
                  Contribution Percentages, beginning with the highest
                  percentage, until the limitations of Section 5.10(c) are met,
                  and (ii) by reducing the M-Test Contributions made on behalf
                  of Highly Compensated Employees in order of the dollar amount
                  of M-Test Contributions for each Highly Compensated Employee,
                  beginning with the highest dollar amount, and subtracting such
                  amounts from the total dollar amount determined in (i) above
                  until the total dollar amount is exhausted. The determination
                  of the amount of Excess M-Test Contributions for the Plan Year
                  shall be made after first determining the Excess Deferrals and
                  Excess K-Test Contributions for the Plan Year.

         (d)      Excess Combined-Test Contributions: With respect to any Plan
                  Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of the K-Test
                  Contributions actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated
                  Employees for such Plan Year over the maximum amount of such
                  contributions permitted under Section 5.10(d), provided that
                  M-Test Contributions are not reduced. The Excess Combined-Test
                  Contributions of an individual Highly Compensated Employee
                  shall be determined in the same manner as Excess K-Test
                  Contributions under (b) above, except disregarding the
                  provision for taking into account distributions of Excess
                  Deferrals.

         (e)      Excess Combined-Test Contributions: With respect to any Plan
                  Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of the M-Test
                  Contributions actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated
                  Employees for such Plan Year over the maximum amount of such
                  contributions permitted under Section 5.10(d), provided that
                  K-Test Contributions are not reduced. The Excess Combined-Test
                  Contributions of an individual Highly Compensated Employee
                  shall be determined in the same manner as Excess M-Test
                  Contributions under (c) above.

         (f)      Subsections 5.11(d) and (e) shall not apply for Plan Years
                  commencing after December 31, 2001.

         5.12 Correction of Excess Contributions: The Plan provides the
following methods for correcting excess contributions as described in Section
5.11:

                                       25
<PAGE>

         (a)      Excess Deferrals: The Plan Administrator shall direct the
                  Trustee to distribute to a Participant from his/her
                  Participant Elective Deferral Account an amount equal to the
                  Participant's Excess Deferral plus income, if any, allocable
                  thereto. Such distribution shall be designated by the Plan
                  Administrator as a distribution of an Excess Deferral and
                  shall be made not earlier than the date on which the Trustee
                  receives the Excess Deferral and not later than the first
                  April 15 following the end of the calendar year in which the
                  Excess Deferral is made.

         (b)      Excess K-Test Contributions: The Plan Administrator shall
                  direct the Trustee to distribute to a Participant his/her
                  Excess K-Test Contribution plus income, if any, allocable
                  thereto. Such distribution shall be designated by the Plan
                  Administrator as a distribution of an excess contribution and
                  shall be made after the end of the Plan Year in which the
                  excess contribution arose and within twelve (12) months after
                  the end of such Plan Year.

                  If the Employer has made a Matching Contribution attributable
                  to any portion of the Participant's Excess K-Test Contribution
                  distributed to the Participant pursuant to the above, the Plan
                  Administrator shall treat such Matching Contribution as a
                  forfeiture. The forfeited amount shall be used to reduce the
                  Employer's Matching Contribution otherwise required for the
                  Plan Year or for any subsequent Plan Year.

         (c)      Excess M-Test Contributions: The Plan Administrator shall
                  direct the Trustee to distribute to a Participant any portion
                  of the Participant's Excess M-Test Contribution, plus income,
                  if any, allocable thereto. Such distribution shall be
                  designated by the Plan Administrator as a distribution of
                  excess contributions and shall be made after the end of the
                  Plan Year in which the excess contribution arose and within
                  twelve (12) months after the end of such Plan Year.

         (d)      Excess Combined-Test Contributions: The Plan Administrator
                  shall correct the Excess Combined-Test Contributions in the
                  same manner as for Excess K-Test and M-Test Contributions in
                  (b) and (c) above, provided however, that the Plan
                  Administrator shall direct the Trustee to distribute the
                  portion of the Excess K-Test Contribution or Excess M-Test
                  Contribution or a combination of both which results in the
                  least amount distributed from the Plan. The provisions of this
                  subsection 5.12(d) shall not apply for Plan Years commencing
                  after December 31, 2001.

                  For purposes of the above, income shall include realized and
                  unrealized gains and losses for the Plan Year and for the
                  period from the end of the Plan Year to the date of
                  distribution (the "gap period") and shall be allocated to
                  excess contributions in accordance with all appropriate Code
                  and Regulation provisions. Distributions of excess
                  contributions pursuant to the above shall be made without
                  regard to any consent by the Participant otherwise required
                  under this Plan.

                            ALLOCATIONS TO ACCOUNTS

         6.01 Revaluation of Assets: Not less frequently than as of the Annual
Valuation Date each year, the Plan Administrator shall re-value the net assets
of all Participants' General Investments Accounts and Employer Securities
Accounts in the Investment Fund. The valuation shall determine the current fair
market value. At the Plan Administrator's discretion, applied on a consistent
basis, the Plan Administrator may similarly re-value the net assets of the
Investment Fund at the end of a semi-annual, quarterly, monthly or more frequent
period; the last day of such period shall be referred to as an Interim Valuation
Date. The net investment income or loss on the Investment Fund since the
previous Annual or Interim Valuation Date shall then be determined. An
independent appraiser shall perform all valuations of Employer Securities that
are not readily tradeable on an established securities market. The valuation
requirement of the immediately preced ing sentence applies to all Employer
Securities acquired by the Plan.

         6.02 Allocation of Contributions and Forfeitures: Contributions and
forfeitures for any period shall be credited to the Accounts of Participants in
the following manner:

         (a)      With respect to Elective Deferral contributions made pursuant
                  to Section 5.01, an amount equal to the Participant's Elective
                  Deferral since the previous Annual or Interim Valuation Date
                  shall be allocated and credited to his/her Participant
                  Elective Deferral Account.

         (b)      Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.06 shall be
                  allocated on each Annual Valuation Date (or if the Employer
                  makes Matching Contributions on a calendar quarter or other
                  periodic basis, on the last day of each calendar quarter or
                  other period) to each Participant's Account who satisfies the
                  requirements of Section 6.04(a), in an amount equal to the
                  Employer Matching Contribution percentage determined by the
                  Employer for the Plan Year. If the Employer makes a Matching
                  Contribution to the Plan at any time during the Plan Year, any
                  limit on the percentage amount shall not be determined by
                  reference to Annual Compensation for the Plan Year, but by
                  reference to Compensation (subject to the limitations on
                  Compensation imposed under Section 2.10) paid only during the
                  period to which the Matching Contribution relates.
                  Nevertheless, if the Employer makes an additional Matching
                  Contribution for the Plan Year as provided in the last
                  paragraph of Section 5.06, the additional Matching
                  Contribution shall be allocated on an annual, rather than
                  periodic, basis.

         (c)      Employer Profit-Sharing Contributions made pursuant to Section
                  5.07, shall be allocated as of each Annual Valuation Date to
                  each Participant who satisfies the requirements of Section
                  6.04(b). The Employer Profit-Sharing Contribution shall be
                  credited to the Employer Profit-Sharing Contribution Accounts
                  of each such Participant in an amount equal to the percentage
                  determined according to the allocation formula set forth in
                  Section 6.06. At the time the Employer makes its
                  Profit-Sharing Contribution, the Employer shall designate to
                  the Administrator the Plan Year for which the Profit-Sharing
                  Contribution shall be deemed to have been made (which may be
                  the current Plan Year or the immediately prior or subsequent
                  Plan Year, as the Employer deems appropriate). If the Employer
                  makes no designation, the Employer Profit-Sharing Contribution
                  shall be deemed to have been made for the Plan Year that
                  begins concurrent with or within the taxable year of the
                  Employer for which the Employer claims a deduction under Code
                  ss.404.

         (d)      Forfeitures from Employer Matching Contribution Accounts that
                  are reallocated pursuant to Section 11.06 shall be used to
                  reduce the amount of the Employer's Matching Contributions for
                  the Plan Year. They shall be allocated as of each Annual
                  Valuation Date to each Participant's Matching Contribution
                  Account who satisfies the requirements of Section 6.04 in the
                  same manner as Employer Matching Contributions in (b) above.

         (e)      Forfeitures from Employer Profit-Sharing Contribution Accounts
                  that are reallocated pursuant to Section 11.06 shall be
                  allocated in addition to the amount of the Employer's Profit
                  Sharing Contributions for the Plan Year. They shall be
                  allocated as of each Annual Valuation Date to each
                  Participant's Profit Sharing Contribution Account who
                  satisfies the requirements of Section 6.04 in the same manner
                  as Employer Profit Sharing Contributions in (c) above.

         (f)      With respect to contributions made pursuant to Section 5.05,
                  an amount equal to the Participant's Rollover Contributions
                  since the previous Annual or Interim Valuation Date shall be
                  credited to the Participant's Rollover Contribution Account.

         (g)      Contributions by the Employer of Employer Securities shall be
                  allocated solely to the Employer Securities Account. All other
                  contributions, whether by the Employer or any Participant,
                  shall be allocated solely to the General Investments Account.

         6.03 Adjustment of Accounts: As of each Annual or Interim Valuation
Date all Partici pants' and Inactive Participants' Accounts shall be adjusted to
reflect the contributions and income received, profits and losses, and
distributions and expenses of the Trust Fund since the previous Annual or
Interim Valuation Date. The adjustments shall be made in the following manner
and order:

         (a)      Each Account shall be charged with all forfeitures,
                  withdrawals and distributions from the Account since the
                  previous Annual or Interim Valuation Date. In making a
                  forfeiture reduction under this Section, the Plan
                  Administrator, to the extent possible, first must forfeit from
                  a Participant's General Investments Account before making a
                  forfeiture from his/her Employer Securities Account.

         (b)      Each Account shall be charged with any administrative costs or
                  expenses incurred and paid by the Plan that are allocable to
                  the Account since the previous Annual or Interim Valuation
                  Date. All administrative costs and expenses, to the extent
                  possible, shall be paid from a Participant's General
                  Investments Account before being paid from his/her Employer
                  Securities Account

         (c)      Each Participant's General Investment Account that has a
                  non-zero balance after the application of (a) and (b) above,
                  shall be credited (or charged) with its proportionate share of
                  the net investment income (or loss) and expenses since the
                  previous Annual or Interim Valuation Date. The amount to be
                  credited or charged to each Account shall be determined based
                  on the ratio that: (i) the balance in the Account on the
                  previous Annual or Interim Valuation Date less any
                  forfeitures, withdrawals or distributions from the Account
                  since that date bears to (ii) the total of such amounts
                  determined for all Accounts. Notwithstanding the previous
                  sentence, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator,
                  the method of allocating the net investment income (or loss)
                  of the General Investment Account may be adjusted to reflect
                  the effect of cash flows into and out of such Accounts (such
                  as contributions, payments

                                       28
<PAGE>

                  on Participant loans, distributions, etc.) based on the length
                  of time between the date of such cash flow and the current
                  Annual or Interim Valuation Date. Any such adjustment pursuant
                  to the previous sentence shall be made in a uniform and non-
                  discriminatory manner among Participants and/or the types of
                  Accounts.

         (d)      Each Account shall be credited with the contributions
                  allocated to it since the previous Annual or Interim Valuation
                  Date, subject to the following rules:

                  (1)      The Employer Securities Account maintained for each
                           Participant shall be credited with the Participant's
                           allocable share of Employer Securities (including
                           fractional shares) contributed in kind to the Trust,
                           with any forfeitures of Employer Securities and with
                           any stock dividends on Employer Securities allocated
                           to his/her Employer Securities Account. The Plan
                           Administrator will base allocations to the
                           Participant's Employer Securities Account on dollar
                           values expressed as shares of Employer Securities or
                           on the basis of actual shares, assuming there is only
                           a single class of Employer Securities.

                  (2)      The General Investments Account maintained for each
                           Participant shall be credited with the Participant's
                           allocable share of Elective Deferrals and any
                           Employer Contribution not attributable to Employer
                           Securities, according to the provisions of Section
                           6.02.

         (e)      Cash dividends the Employer pays with respect to Employer
                  Securities shall be allocated to the General Investments
                  Accounts of Participants in the same ratio, determined on the
                  dividend declaration date, that Employer Securities allocated
                  to a Participant's Employer Securities Account bear to the
                  Employer Securities allocated to all Employer Securities
                  Accounts.

         6.04 Eligibility for Allocation of Employer Matching and Profit Sharing
Contributions:

         (a)      In allocating Matching Contributions to a Participant's
                  Account, the Administrator shall take into account only the
                  Compensation paid the Employee during the period to which the
                  allocation applies and he is an eligible Participant in the
                  Plan with a valid, executed Salary Reduction Agreement in
                  effect and on file with the Administrator. A Participant need
                  not complete any minimum Hours of Service during the Plan Year
                  or be employed on any particular day of the Plan Year in order
                  to receive an allocation of Employer Matching Contributions.

         (b)      The Administrator shall determine allocations of Employer
                  Profit Sharing Contribu tions on the basis of the Plan Year.
                  In allocating Profit Sharing Contributions to a Participant's
                  Account, the Administrator shall take into account only the
                  Compensa tion paid to the Participant after he has satisfied
                  the eligibility requirements of Section 4.01 and to which the
                  allocation applies. A Participant must complete at least one
                  thousand (1000) Hours of Service during the Plan Year and must
                  be employed on the last day of the Plan Year in order to
                  receive an allocation of Employer Profit Sharing
                  Contributions, unless the Participant has incurred a
                  Termination of Employment during the Plan Year on account of
                  death, Disability or retirement. It shall not be necessary for
                  the Participant to have a Salary Reduction

                                       29
<PAGE>

                  Agreement in effect in order to receive an allocation of
                  Employer Profit Sharing Contributions.

         6.05 Suspension of Accrual Requirements for Employer Profit Sharing
Contributions: The Plan suspends the accrual requirements under Section 6.04(b)
for Employer Profit Sharing Contributions if for any Plan Year the Plan fails to
satisfy the Coverage Test. The Plan satisfies the Coverage Test for the Plan
Year if the number of Nonhighly Compensated Employees who benefit under the Plan
is at least equal to 70% of the total number of Includible Nonhighly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year. "Includible" Employees are all Employees other
than: (1) those Employees excluded from participating in the Plan for the entire
Plan Year by reason of the collective bargaining unit exclusion or the
nonresident alien exclusion described in the Code or by reason of the age and
service requirements of Section 4.01; and (2) any Employee who incurs a
Termination of Employment during the Plan Year and fails to complete at least
501 Hours of Service for the Plan Year. A "Nonhighly Compensated Employee" is an
Employee who is not a Highly Compensated Employee. For purposes of the Coverage
Test an Employee is benefitting under the Plan for a Plan Year if, under Section
6.04, he is entitled to an allocation of Employer Non- Elective Contributions
for the Plan Year.

         If this Section 6.05 applies for a Plan Year, the Plan Administrator
will suspend the accrual requirements for the Includible Employees who are
Participants, beginning first with the Includible Employee(s) employed with the
Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, then the Includible Employee(s) who
have the latest Termination of Employment during the Plan Year, and continuing
to suspend the accrual requirements for each Includible Employee who incurred an
earlier Termination of Employment, from the latest to the earliest date of
Termination of Employment, until the Plan satisfies the Coverage Test for the
Plan Year. If two or more Includible Employees have a Termination of Employment
on the same day, the Plan Administrator will suspend the accrual requirements
for all such Includible Employees, irrespective of whether the Plan can satisfy
the Coverage Test by accruing benefits for fewer than all such Includible
Employees. If the Plan suspends the accrual requirements for an Includible
Employee, that Employee will share in the allocation of Employer Contributions
and Participant forfeitures, if any, without regard to the number of Hours of
Service he has earned for the Plan Year and without regard to whether he is
employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.

         6.06 New Comparability Formula for Allocation of Employer Profit
Sharing Contributions: Subject to the Top Heavy allocation requirements of
Article XIX and the Code ss.415 limitations of Article VII, each Participant's
share of Employer Profit Sharing Contributions contributed by the Employer under
Section 5.07 on behalf of each Allocation Group will be allocated on the last
day of the Plan Year (and on such other date or dates as determined by the Plan
Administrator on a nondiscriminatory basis) to each Allocation Group. For
purposes of this Section 6.06 each Participant who is not an Inactive
Participant (an "Eligible Participant") will constitute a separate Allocation
Group. The amount allocated to each Allocation Group will be subject to the
following provisions:

         (a)      Failsafe Allocation: For each Plan Year beginning on or after
                  January 1, 2002, in which it is necessary for the Plan to pass
                  nondiscrimination testing on the basis of equivalent benefit
                  rates as provided under regulation ss.1.401(a)(4), the
                  allocations made under this Section must satisfy either the
                  "broadly available test" described in subparagraph (1) or one
                  of the "gateway tests" described in subparagraph (2) or
                  subparagraph (3) below.

                  (1)      Broadly Available Test If Employer Does Not Maintain
                           A Defined Benefit Plan: To satisfy the "broadly
                           available test", each Allocation Rate applicable to
                           any Eligible Participant must be currently available
                           within the meaning of regulation
                           ss.1.401(a)(4)-4(b)(2) to a group of Employees and,
                           were such group to be treated as a group of Employees
                           covered under a separate plan, such group of
                           Employees must satisfy the requirements of Code
                           ss.410(b) without regard to the average benefit
                           percentage test in regulation ss.1.410(b)-5. For this
                           purpose, if two allocation rates could be
                           permissively aggregated under regulation
                           ss.1.401(a)(4)-4(d)(4), assuming the allocation rates
                           were treated as benefits, rights or features, then
                           such allocation rates may be aggregated and treated
                           as a single allocation rate. In addition, the
                           disregard of age and service conditions described in
                           regulation ss.1.401(a)(4)-4(b)(2)(ii)(A) does not
                           apply for purposes of this subparagraph (1).

                  (2)      Gateway Test If The Employer Does Not Maintain A
                           Defined Benefit Plan: In order to satisfy the
                           "gateway test" for any Plan Year in which the
                           Employer does not maintain a defined benefit plan
                           that also covers Participants covered in this Plan
                           for any portion of the Plan Year, the Allocation Rate
                           for each Eligible Participant who is an NHCE for the
                           Plan Year must be equal to either (A) 5% of each
                           Eligible Participant's Compensation; or (B) 33.33% of
                           the highest Allocation Rate for any Participant who
                           is an HCE for the Plan Year.

                  (3)      If The Employer Does Maintain One Or More Defined
                           Benefit Plans: If the Employer maintains one or more
                           defined benefit plans that cover Participants in this
                           Plan for any portion of a Plan Year, the Plan
                           Administrator may elect to apply for that Plan Year
                           either the procedure set forth in subparagraph (A) or
                           the procedure in subparagraph (B), as follows:

                           (A)      Election To Not Permissively Aggregate: The
                                    Plan Administrator may elect not to
                                    permissively aggregate this Plan and such
                                    defined benefit plan or plans for purposes
                                    of satisfying the coverage tests of Code
                                    ss.410(b) and the nondiscrimination tests of
                                    Code ss.401(a)(4), and instead may elect to
                                    separately test each plan for such purposes.
                                    In that event, either the "gateway test" in
                                    subparagraph (2) above or the "broadly
                                    available test" of subparagraph (1) above
                                    will apply for this Plan.

                           (B)      Election To Permissively Aggregate: The Plan
                                    Administrator may elect to permissively
                                    aggregate this Plan and such defined benefit
                                    plan(s) for purposes of satisfying both the
                                    coverage tests of Code ss.410(b) and the
                                    nondiscrimination tests of Code
                                    ss.401(a)(4), in which event for the Plan
                                    Year the aggregated plans will be known as a
                                    "DB/DC Plan" and will be subject to the
                                    requirements in subparagraphs (i) or (ii)
                                    below. Unless elected otherwise by the Plan
                                    Administrator, this Plan and the defined
                                    benefit plan(s) will not necessarily be
                                    considered a DB/DC Plan because the plans
                                    are being aggregated solely to apply the
                                    average benefit ratio test in regulation
                                    ss.1.410(b)-5. If a DB/DC Plan applies,
                                    nondiscrimination testing under Code
                                    ss.401(a)(4) may be passed for this Plan and
                                    all defined

                                    benefit plans of the Employer and any other
                                    FX Employer either on the basis of Aggregate
                                    Normal Allocation Rates, or at the option of
                                    the Plan Administrator and only if either of
                                    the exceptions in subparagraph (i) are
                                    satisfied or the "gateway test" conditions
                                    in subparagraph (ii) are satisfied, on the
                                    basis of equivalent benefit rates under
                                    regulation ss.1.401(a)(4) (i.e. normal
                                    accrual rates under the defined benefit
                                    plans and equivalent benefit rates under the
                                    defined contribution plans):

                                    (i)      "Broadly Available" Or "Primarily
                                             Defined Benefit"Tests Are
                                             Satisfied: The requirements of this
                                             subparagraph (i) are deemed
                                             satisfied if both the defined
                                             contribution plan components and
                                             the defined benefit plan components
                                             of the DB/DC Plan are considered to
                                             be "broadly available" as defined
                                             in subparagraph (1) above, or the
                                             DB/DC Plan is considered to be
                                             "primarily defined benefit". A
                                             DB/DC Plan is considered to be
                                             "primarily defined benefit" if more
                                             than 50% of the Eligible
                                             Participants who are NHCEs for the
                                             Plan Year have a normal accrual
                                             rate under the defined benefit plan
                                             or plans that exceeds their
                                             equivalent benefit rates under the
                                             defined contribution plans.

                                    (ii)    "Gateway Test" Is Satisfied: The
                                            requirements of this subparagraph
                                            (ii) are deemed satisfied if the
                                            "gateway test" for a DB/DC Plan is
                                            satisfied, in which the Allocation
                                            Rate for each Eligible Participant
                                            who is an NHCE for the Plan Year
                                            must be at least equal to the
                                            Aggregate Normal Allocation Rate.

         (b)      Determination Of Accrual And Allocation Rates: The normal
                  accrual rate and the equivalent normal allocation rate
                  attributable to defined benefit plans, the equivalent accrual
                  rate attributable to defined contribution plans, and the
                  Aggregate Normal Allocation Rate are determined under
                  regulation ss.1.401(a)(4)(b)(2)(ii), but without taking into
                  account the imputation of permitted disparity under regulation
                  ss.1.401(a)(4)-7, except as otherwise permitted under
                  regulation ss.1.401(a)(4)- 9(b)(2)(v)(C).

         (c)      Definitions: Solely for purposes of this Section 6.06, the
                  following listed terms shall have the meanings indicated.

                  (1)      "Allocation Rate" shall mean the percentage obtained
                           by dividing (A) the total amount of Employer
                           contributions or reallocated Forfeitures that are
                           allocated on the Participant's behalf under all
                           defined contribution plans of the Employer or an FX
                           Employer that are aggregated for nondiscrimination
                           testing under Code ss.401(a)(4) (not including any
                           Matching Contributions if such plan or plans includes
                           Elective Deferrals), by (B) the Participant's
                           Compensation.

                  (2)      "Aggregate Normal Allocation Rate" shall mean the sum
                           of the Allocation Rate in the defined contribution
                           plan(s) and the equivalent Allocation Rate in the
                           defined benefit plan(s) of the Employer or an
                           Affiliated Employer that

                           are permissively aggregated to pass the coverage
                           tests of Code ss.410(b) and the nondiscrimination
                           tests of Code ss.401(a)(4). The Aggregate Normal
                           Allocation Rate for each Eligible Participant who is
                           an NHCE for the Plan Year will equal the percentage
                           in subparagraphs (A), (B) or (C) below. At the
                           discretion of the Plan Administrator, the equivalent
                           Allocation Rate for any Plan Year under such defined
                           benefit plan(s) for each Eligible Participant who is
                           an NHCE and who benefits under the defined benefit
                           plan(s) for the Plan Year may be deemed to be equal
                           to the average of the equivalent Allocation Rates
                           under the defined benefit plan(s) for all such
                           Eligible Participants.

                           (A)      33.33% Rate: If the highest Aggregate Normal
                                    Allocation Rate of any Eligible Participant
                                    who is an HCE for the Plan Year is less than
                                    15%, then the Aggregate Normal Allocation
                                    Rate for each Eligible Participant who was
                                    an NHCE for the Plan Year will be 33.33% of
                                    such highest Aggregate Normal Allocation
                                    Rate; or

                           (B)      5% Rate: If the highest Aggregate Normal
                                    Allocation Rate of any Eligible Participant
                                    who is an HCE for the Plan Year is at least
                                    15% but is not greater than 25%, then the
                                    Aggregate Normal Allocation Rate for each
                                    Eligible Participant who was an NHCE during
                                    the Plan Year will be 5% of each such
                                    Eligible Participant's Compensation; or

                           (C)      Rate Higher Than 5% To Maximum 7.5% Rate: If
                                    the highest Aggregate Normal Allocation Rate
                                    of any Eligible Participant who is an HCE
                                    for the Plan Year is greater than 25%, then
                                    the Aggregate Normal Allocation Rate for
                                    each Eligible Participant who is an NHCE for

                                    who is an HCE for the Plan Year exceeds 25%.
                                    However, the maximum Aggregate Normal

                                    Participant who is an NHCE for the Plan Year
                                    will not exceed 7.5% of each such Eligible

                  (2)      The denominator of which is the lesser of:

                           (i)      The product of one hundred twenty-five
                                    percent (125%) multiplied by the Defined

                                    Participant for such Limitation Year.

                           for the last Limitation Year beginning before January
                           1, 1987, the denominator of this fraction will not be
                           less than the product of one hundred twenty-five
                           percent (125%) multiplied by the sum of the annual
                           benefits under such plans that the Participant had
                           accrued as of the close of the last Limitation Year

                  (25%) of the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation
                  Year. The $30,000 amount shall be adjusted annually for
                  increases in the cost of living in accordance with Code
                  ss.415(d) and IRS Regulations.

                           in this subsection 7.01(e)(2) shall not apply to any
                           contribution for medical benefits after separation

                           defined contribution plans (whether or not
                           terminated) ever maintained by the Employer for the
                           current and all prior Limitation Years; and

                           (2)      The denominator of which is the sum of the
                                    lesser of the following amounts determined
                                    for such Limitation Year and for each prior
                                    Year of Service with the Employer
                                    (regardless of whether a defined
                                    contribution plan was maintained by the
                                    Employer):

                                    (i)      The product of one hundred
                                             twenty-five percent (125%)
                                             multiplied by the Defined
                                             Contribution Dollar Limitation; or

                                    (ii)     Thirty-five percent (35%) of the
                                             Participant's Compensation for such
                                             Limitation Year.

                  If the Participant was a participant in one or more defined
                  contribution plans maintained by the Employer that were in
                  existence on May 6, 1986 and such plans, individually and in
                  the aggregate, satisfied the requirements of Code ss.415 for
                  the last Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987, the
                  numerator of this fraction shall be adjusted if the sum of
                  this fraction and the Defined Benefit Fraction would otherwise
                  exceed one hundred percent (100%) under the terms of this
                  Plan. Under the adjustment, an amount equal to the product of:

                  (1)      The excess of the sum of the fractions over one
                           hundred percent (100%); times

                  (2)      The denominator of this fraction shall be permanently
                           subtracted from the numerator of this fraction. The
                           adjustment is calculated using the fractions as they
                           would be computed as of the close of the last
                           Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987.

         (g)      "Employer" shall mean the Employer that adopts this Plan and,
                  in the case of a group of employers that constitutes an
                  Affiliated Group of corporations (as defined in Code ss.414(b)
                  as modified by Code ss.415(h)) or that constitutes trades or
                  businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common
                  control (as defined in Code ss.414(c) as modified by Code
                  ss.415(h)), or that constitutes an affiliated service group,
                  (as defined in Code ss.414(m)), all such employers shall be
                  considered a single Employer for purposes of applying the
                  limitations of this Article.

                                       37
<PAGE>

         (h)      "Excess Amount" shall mean the excess of the Participant's
                  Annual Additions for the Limitation Year over the Maximum
                  Permissible Amount for such Limitation Year.

         (i)      "Individual Medical Benefit Account" shall mean any separate
                  account that is established for a Participant under a defined
                  benefit plan and from which benefits described in Code
                  ss.401(h) are payable solely to such Participant, his/her
                  spouse or his/her dependents.

         (j)      "Limitation Year" shall mean the twelve (12) consecutive month
                  period specified in Article II.

                  The Limitation Year may be changed by amending the election
                  previously made by the Employer. Any change in the Limitation
                  Year must be a change to a twelve (12) month period commencing
                  with any day within the current Limitation Year. The
                  limitations of this Article (and Code ss.415) are to be
                  separately applied to a limitation period that begins with the
                  first day of the current Limitation Year and that ends on the
                  day before the first day of the first Limitation Year for
                  which the change is effective.

                  The dollar limitation on Annual Additions with respect to this
                  limitation period is determined by multiplying the applicable
                  dollar limitation for the calendar year in which the
                  limitation period ends by a fraction, the numerator of which
                  is the number of months (computed to the nearest whole month)
                  in the limitation period and the denominator of which is
                  twelve (12).

                  The Limitation Year for all years prior to the effective date
                  of Code ss.415 shall, as applied to this Plan, be the twelve
                  (12) consecutive month period selected as the Limitation Year
                  for the first Limitation Year after the effective date of Code
                  ss.415.

         (k)      "Maximum Permissible Amount" shall mean, for a given
                  Limitation Year, the lesser of:

                  (1)      The Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation; or

                  (2)      Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's
                           Compensation for such Limitation Year.

                  The percentage limitation in (2) above shall not apply to any
                  contribution for medical benefits after separation from
                  service that is treated as an Annual Addition, or to any
                  amount allocated to an Individual Medical Benefit Account that
                  is treated as an Annual Addition.

                  If a short Limitation Year is created because of an amendment
                  changing the Limitation Year to a different twelve (12)
                  consecutive month period, the Maximum Permissible Amount for
                  such short Limitation Year shall not exceed the amount in (1)
                  above multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
                  number of months in the short Limitation Year (computed to the
                  nearest whole month) and the denominator of which is twelve
                  (12).

                                       38
<PAGE>

         (l)      "Projected Annual Benefit" shall mean the annual retirement
                  benefit (adjusted to an actuarially equivalent life annuity if
                  such benefit is expressed in a form other than a straight life
                  annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity) to which the
                  Participant would be entitled under the terms of the defined
                  benefit plan assuming:

                  (1)      The Participant will continue employment until normal
                           retirement age under the plan (or current age, if
                           later); and

                  (2)      The Participant's Compensation for the current
                           Limitation Year and all other relevant factors used
                           to determine benefits under the plan will remain
                           constant for all future Limitation Years.

         7.02 Coordination With Other Plans:

         (a)      If the Employer maintains another qualified cash or deferred
                  arrangement ("Alternate 401(k) Plan") covering Participants in
                  this Plan and if the Annual Additions to a Participant's
                  Account in this Plan and the annual additions to the
                  Participant's account in the Alternate 401(k) Plan would
                  result in the allocation on an allocation date of this Plan
                  that coincides with an allocation date of the Alternate 401(k)
                  Plan of an Excess Amount, the Excess Amount attributed to this
                  Plan shall be determined by the Plan Administrator on a
                  uniform and non-discriminatory basis, considering the amount
                  of elective deferrals and Employer contributions made to each
                  Participant's account in the Alternate 401(k) Plan, and the
                  anticipated allocation of the Employer Contribution to this
                  Plan. The Plan Administrator shall coordinate its actions with
                  those of the plan administrator of the Alternate 401(k) Plan
                  to provide for the maximum possible allocation to all
                  Participants in both plans, taking into account the provisions
                  of the Alternate 401(k) Plan allowing for distribution of
                  elective deferrals to reduce an Excess Amount. In this regard,
                  the Plan Administrator, whenever possible, shall allow for the
                  allocation and distribution of elective deferrals from the
                  Alternate 401(k) Plan so as to eliminate or reduce the
                  possibility of creating a suspense account under this Plan or
                  under the Alternate 401(k) Plan. If, after distributing all
                  amounts that may be distributed from the Alternate 401(k)
                  Plan, there still remains an Excess Amount, the Plan
                  Administrator will attribute the total Excess Amount to the
                  Alternate 401(k) Plan.

         (b)      If the Employer maintains another qualified defined
                  contribution plan during any Limitation Year that covers
                  Participants in this Plan and as a consequence of the
                  requirements of Section 7.04 an Excess Amount is allocated to
                  a Participant's Account in this Plan on an allocation date
                  that coincides with an allocation date in the other plan, the
                  total Excess Amount shall be deemed allocated to the other
                  plan.

         7.03 Order of Limitations: If, pursuant to this Article, it is
necessary to limit or reduce the amount of Contributions credited to a
Participant under this Plan during a Limitation Year, the limitation or
reduction shall be made in the following order:

         (a) First, from the Participant's General Investment Account, in the
following order:

                  (1)      Unmatched Participant Elective Deferrals;

                  (2)      Employer Matching Contributions;

                                       39
<PAGE>

                  (3)      Matched Participant Elective Deferrals;

                  (4)      Employer Profit Sharing Contributions.

         (b)      Second, from Employer Profit Sharing Contributions to the
                  Participant's Employer Securities Account.

         7.04 Aggregation of Plans: For purposes of applying the limitations of
this Article applicable to a Participant for a particular Limitation Year, all
qualified defined benefit plans ever maintained by the Employer shall be treated
as one defined benefit plan, all defined contribution plans ever maintained by
the Employer shall be treated as one defined contribution plan and any Employee
contributions to a defined benefit plan shall be treated as a defined
contribution plan.

         7.05 Suspense Account: If, as a result of a reasonable error in
estimating a Participant's Compensation, determining the allocation of
forfeitures or determining the amount of elective deferrals under any cash or
deferred arrangement sponsored by an FX Employer for the Limitation Year or
under other limited facts and circumstances allowed under Reg. ss.1.415-6(b),
the Annual Additions to this Plan would cause an allocation to the Account of a
Participant in excess of the Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year,
the Plan Administrator shall deal with the Excess Amount as follows:

         (a)      First, the Plan Administrator shall distribute to the
                  Participant his/her Elective Deferrals for the Limitation Year
                  to the extent that the distribution reduces the Excess Amount,
                  provided that the Plan Administrator shall not distribute any
                  Elective Deferral to the Participant that would cause the Plan
                  to make a concurrent reduction in the amount of Employer
                  Matching Contributions allocated to the Participant's Account.
                  A distribution under this provision shall include earnings or
                  gains attributable to the returned Elective Deferrals. All
                  distributions shall be made no later than and in the manner
                  provided in Section 5.10(d).

         (b)      Second, to the extent there remains an Excess Amount after
                  application of Section 7.05(a), the Plan Administrator shall
                  hold the Excess Amount in a suspense account and allocate and
                  reallocate the amount in the suspense account in the following
                  Limitation Year (and in succeeding Limitation Years, if
                  necessary) to reduce Employer Profit Sharing Contributions,
                  Employer Matching Contributions and Elective Deferrals (in
                  that order) to the Account of that Participant if that
                  Participant is covered by the Plan as of the end of the
                  Limitation Year. If the Participant is not covered, the excess
                  amount shall be allocated and reallocated in the next
                  Limitation Year to all Participants' Accounts in the Plan
                  before any Employer Profit Sharing Contributions, Employer
                  Matching Contributions and Elective Deferrals (in that order)
                  that would constitute Annual Additions are made to the Plan
                  for the Limitation Year, or at the option of the FX Employer,
                  the Excess Amount shall be used to reduce Employer Profit
                  Sharing Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions to
                  the Plan for the Limitation Year by the amount in the suspense
                  account that is allocated and reallocated during the
                  Limitation Year. The suspense account shall be an unallocated
                  account equal to the sum of all Excess Amounts for all
                  Participants in the Plan during the Limitation Year. The
                  suspense account shall not share in any earnings or losses of
                  the Trust Fund. The Plan may not distribute any amounts in the
                  suspense account to any Participant whether before or after
                  termination of employment or termination of the Plan.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                       IN-SERVICE AND HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS

         8.01 Withdrawals Due to Attainment of Age 59 1/2, Completion of Service
or Hardship: Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.01 and in Section
8.05, no amounts may be withdrawn by a Participant from any Account held for
his/her benefit prior to termination of employment with the Employer, unless the
Employee has attained his/her Normal Retirement Date.

         (a)      A Participant who has attained Age 59 1/2 may withdraw all or
                  any portion of his/her Elective Deferral Account. A
                  Participant who has been a Participant in the Plan for at
                  least five (5) Plan Years and who is 100% vested in his/her
                  Account may withdraw all or any portion of his/her Matching
                  Contribution and Profit Sharing Accounts, regardless of
                  attained Age, except that this withdrawal right shall not
                  apply to any portion of the participant's Matching
                  Contribution and Profit Sharing Accounts which is invested in
                  the Participant's Employer Securities Account. A Participant
                  may make a withdrawal (regardless of Account) no more than
                  once in each calendar quarter. In the event the Participant's
                  Account includes amounts subject to the rules in Section 9.06,
                  a withdrawal may only be made with respect to such amounts in
                  accordance Section 9.06.

         (b)      A Participant may elect to withdraw an amount credited to
                  his/her Participant Elective Deferral Account without regard
                  to the Participant's Age, but only if he obtains prior
                  approval from the Plan Administrator, which approval shall be
                  granted only upon a determination of Financial Hardship. In
                  the case of a withdrawal due to Financial Hardship, the amount
                  of the withdrawal shall be limited to the total amount of the
                  Participant's Elective Deferrals, without regard to income
                  allocable thereto. Upon granting approval, the Plan
                  Administrator shall direct the Trustee to distribute the
                  indicated portion of the Participant's Elective Deferral
                  Account to the Participant.

         8.02 Financial Hardship Distribution Rules: The Plan adopts the deemed
hardship distribution standards set forth in Reg. ss.1.041(k)-1(d)(2)(iv). As a
consequence, the Plan Administrator shall not approve any distribution on
account of Financial Hardship unless the distribution is determined by the
Administrator to be necessary to meet an immediate and heavy financial need of
the Participant. The distribution will be deemed necessary if:

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

         (b)      Other resources of the Participant are not reasonably
                  available to meet this need.

         The condition in (b) above is deemed to be met if the Participant has
obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all
nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Employer.
If a Participant receives a distribution on account of Financial Hardship
his/her Elective Deferrals to this Plan and his/her employee contributions to
all other plans maintained by the Employer (including qualified and
non-qualified plans of deferred compensation, annuities under Code ss.403(b) and
any cash or deferred arrangement part of a cafeteria plan under Code ss.125),
shall be suspended for twelve (12) months after receipt of the hardship
distribution. Further, his/her Elective Deferrals to this Plan and his/her
employee deferral contributions to all other plans maintained by the Employer
for the calendar year immediately following the calendar

                                       41
<PAGE>

year of the distribution shall not exceed the applicable limit under Section
5.08(a) for that calendar year less the amount of his/her Elective Deferrals for
the calendar year of the hardship distribution.

         Effective January 1, 2002, a participant who receives a distribution on
account of Financial Hardship shall be prohibited from making Elective Deferrals
under this and all other cash or deferred plans of the Employer until the later
of six (6) months after receipt of the distribution or January 1, 2002.

         8.03 Determination of Immediate and Heavy Financial Need: For purposes
of Section 8.02, a distribution shall be deemed to be on account of an immediate
and heavy financial need if the distribution is for:

         (a)      Expenses for medical care described in Code ss.213(d) incurred
                  by the Participant, the Participant's spouse or any dependent
                  of the Participant or expenses necessary for these persons to
                  obtain such medical care;

         (b)      Payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next
                  twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for the
                  Participant, the Participant's spouse or any dependent of the
                  Participant;

         (c)      Costs directly related to purchase (excluding mortgage
                  payments) a principal residence for the Participant; or

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

         8.05 Withdrawal of Rollover Contributions: Effective for Plan Years
commencing on or after January 1, 2004, in the event a Participant has a
Rollover Contribution Account in the Plan, the Participant shall, upon written
notice to the Plan Administrator, be entitled to withdraw at any time, subject
to the restrictions described below, any amount up to the balance of the
Rollover Contribution Account. Withdrawals shall have no effect upon any
benefits provided under any other provisions of this Plan. The Plan
Administrator and Trustee may establish a reasonable policy regarding the
minimum amount that may be withdrawn and the frequency with which withdrawals
may be made. The policy shall be in writing and shall be administered in a
uniform and non- discriminatory manner.

         If the Participant's Accrued Benefit at the time he requests a
withdrawal from the Rollover Contribution Account or at any prior time has been
greater than $5,000, no such withdrawal may be made prior to the Participant's
Normal Retirement Age unless the Participant first consents in writing. The
amount withdrawn shall be distributed to the Participant in the manner and form
provided in Section 11.02 as if the amount were distributed on account of the
Participant's Termination of Employment or, if the Participant is eligible for
Normal Retirement, in the manner and form provided in Article IX as if the
amount were distributed on account of the Participant's Retirement. If the
spousal consent rules of Section 9.06 apply to any amount in the Participant's
Account, then no amount shall be withdrawn unless prior to the withdrawal the
Participant's spouse, if any, consents to each separate withdrawal.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                               RETIREMENT BENEFITS

         9.01 Normal or Late Retirement: A Participant shall be eligible for
Normal Retirement on reaching his/her Normal Retirement Date. A Participant who
has not become an Excluded Employee may continue in the service of the Employer
as a Participant hereunder beyond his/her Normal Retirement Date. In the event
such a Participant continues in the service of the Employer, he shall continue
to be treated in all respects as a Participant until his/her actual retirement.
When any Participant has a Termination of Employment following his/her Normal
Retirement Date he shall be considered a retired Participant and he shall be
entitled to receive the entire amount of his/her Accrued Benefit, distributed as
set forth below.

         9.02 Disability Retirement: Upon any Participant incurring a
Disability, regardless of whether he is also treated as having a Termination of
Employment, he shall be considered a disabled Participant and entitled to begin
receiving his/her Accrued Benefit. Such amount shall be distributed as provided
in Section 9.03, or deferred until such later date as elected by the disabled
Participant and then distributed as provided in Section 9.03.

         9.03 Method of Payment: Subject to the provisions of Section 9.06 and
Article XXII, upon receipt of a claim for benefits a retired or disabled
Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be payable as elected by the Participant, in
a single lump sum payment. The amount of the lump sum payment shall be equal to
the Participant's Accrued Benefit on the date payment is made. Payment shall be
made in cash only, to the extent the Participant's Accrued Benefit is
attributable to the balance in the Participant's General Investments Account and
in Employer Securities only, to the extent the Participant's Accrued Benefit is
attributable to the balance in the Participant's Employer Securities Account.

         Except as provided in Section 9.04, no payment shall be made to a
Participant prior to his/her Normal Retirement Age unless the Participant
consents in writing to the payment not more than ninety (90) days prior to
his/her Distribution Date.

         Not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days before
the Distribution Date, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant of
the terms, conditions and forms of payment available from the Plan, including a
description of the election procedures under this Section and a general
explanation of the financial effect on a Participant's Accrued Benefit of the
election. The minimum thirty (30) day waiting period after the notification is
provided until the Distribution Date may be disregarded if the Plan
Administrator informs the Participant of his/her right to the full minimum
thirty (30) day waiting period, and the Participant elects in writing (or by
other electronic means acceptable to the Plan Administrator) to waive the
minimum thirty (30) day waiting period.

         If the amount of the Vested Accrued Benefit in the Participant's
Account that would be payable to a disabled or retired Participant in a lump sum
is not more than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), without regard to whether the
Vested Accrued Benefit in the Participant's Account has ever exceeded that
amount at the time of any prior distribution, the benefit shall be paid as a
single lump sum payment in cash as soon as administratively feasible following
the end of the calendar month in which his/her Termination of Employment occurs
without regard to any Participant consent requirement or the requirements of
Section 9.06. The Accrued Benefit held in the Participant's Employer Securities
Account shall be valued as of the most recent preceding Valuation Date.

                                       43
<PAGE>

         If the Participant dies prior to the complete distribution of the
Participant's Accrued Benefit to him, then the Plan Administrator, upon notice
of the Participant's death, shall direct the Trustee to make payment in
accordance with the provisions of Article X.

         9.04 Time of Payment: Payment of the portion of the retired or disabled
Participant's Accrued Benefit held in his/her General Investments Account shall
commence as soon as administratively feasible following the end of the calendar
month in which a claim for benefits is submitted to the Plan Administrator.
Payment of the portion of the Accrued Benefit held in the Participant's Employer
Securities Account shall commence as soon as administratively feasible after the
next Valuation Date that follows the date the claim for benefits is submitted to
the Plan Administrator. A Participant may elect to delay distribution of his/her
Accrued Benefit held in his/her General Investments Account until distribution
of the amounts in his/her Employer Securities Account. Unless a Participant
elects otherwise (and failure to submit a claim for benefits shall be deemed
such an election) payment of benefits under this Plan will commence not later
than sixty (60) days after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the
following events occurs:

         (a)      The attainment by the Participant of Age sixty-five (65) or,
                  if earlier, his/her Normal Retirement Age; or

         (b)      The tenth (10th) anniversary of the Participant's Entry Date;
                  or

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

         If the amount of the payment required to commence on the date
determined above cannot be ascertained by such date, or if it is not possible to
make such payment on such date because the Plan Administrator has been unable to
locate the Participant after making reasonable efforts to do so, a payment
retroactive to such date may be made no later than sixty (60) days after the
earliest date on which the amount of such payment can be ascertained or the date
the Participant is located, whichever is applicable.

         9.05 Minimum Distribution Requirements: This Section 9.05 and Section
10.04 shall take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan. All
distributions required to be made under this Section 9.05 (life distributions)
or under Section 10.04 (death distributions) will be determined and made in
accordance with the Treasury regulations under Code ss.401(a)(9).

         (a)      Effective Date. This Section and Section 10.04 (as amended
                  herein) will apply for purposes of determining required
                  minimum distributions for all calendar years beginning with
                  the 2003 calendar year. Required minimum distributions for the
                  2002 calendar year under this Section and Section 10.04 will
                  be determined as follows. If the total amount of 2002 required
                  minimum distributions under the Plan made to a Participant or
                  Beneficiary prior to the effective date of this Section equals
                  or exceeds the required minimum distributions determined under
                  this Section, then no additional distributions will be
                  required to be made for the 2002 calendar year on or after
                  such date to the Participant or Beneficiary. If the total
                  amount of the 2002 calendar year required minimum
                  distributions under the Plan made to the Participant or
                  Beneficiary prior to the effective date of this Section is
                  less than the amount determined under this Section, then
                  required minimum distributions for the 2002 calendar year on
                  and after such date will be determined so that the total
                  amount of required minimum distributions for the 2002 calendar
                  year made to the Participant or Beneficiary will be the amount
                  determined under this Section.

                           the participant's Required Beginning Date.

                  (2)      Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If
                           the Participant dies before distributions begin, the
                           Participant's entire Vested Accrued Benefit will be
                           distributed, or begin to be distributed, as provided
                           in Section 10.04.

                  (3)      Forms of Distribution. Unless the participant's
                           interest has been distributed in the form of a single
                           sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of
                           the first Distribution Calendar Year distributions
                           will be made in accordance with Section 9.05(c).

         (c)      Required Minimum Distributions During Participant's Lifetime

                  (1)      Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each
                           Distribution Calendar Year. During the participant's
                           lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed
                           for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:

                           (i)      the quotient obtained by dividing the
                                    Participant's Account Balance by the
                                    distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime
                                    Table set forth in Treas. Reg. Section

                                    Distribution Calendar Year; or

                           (ii)     if the Participant's sole Designated
                                    Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar
                                    Year is the Participant's spouse, the
                                    quotient obtained by dividing the
                                    Participant's Account Balance by the number
                                    in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set
                                    forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(a)(9)- 9,
                                    using the Participant's and spouse's

                                    spouse's birthdays in the Distribution
                                    Calendar Year.

                  (2)      Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue
                           Through Year of Participant's Death. Required minimum
                           distributions will be determined under this Section
                           9.05(c) beginning with the first Distribution
                           Calendar Year and up to and including the
                           Distribution Calendar Year that includes the
                           Participant's date of death.

                           death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the
                           calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year
                           that contains the Participant's Required Beginning
                           Date. For distributions beginning after the

                           following that calendar year. For any other
                           Participant the Required Beginning Date is April 1st

         (e)      Form of Benefit Payment. If payment of the Participant's
                  Accrued Benefit commences under this Section 9.05, it shall be
                  distributed to the Participant (consistent with the

                  (2)      In the form of minimum annual cash installment
                           payments over a period not extending beyond the life
                           expectancy of the Participant, or the joint life

                           Beneficiary.

                  If the Participant fails to elect a form of payment, the Plan

                  installments, commencing no later than the Required Beginning
                  Date, with each subsequent installment payment to be made not
                  later than each December 31 thereafter.

         (f)      Redetermination of Life Expectancy. For purposes of
                  determining the amount of any minimum annual cash installment
                  payments whenever the Participant's Designated Beneficiary is
                  his/her spouse, the life expectancy of the Participant and

<PAGE>

                  Designated Beneficiary spouse shall be redetermined annually,
                  unless otherwise elected by the Participant. If the
                  Participant's Designated beneficiary is not his/her spouse,
                  redetermination of life expectancy shall not apply.
                  Notwithstanding the above, any distribution required under the
                  incidental death benefit requirements of Code ss.401(a) shall
                  be treated as a required distribution.

         9.06 Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity: Effective for all
distributions commencing after December 31, 2001, (provided notice has been
delivered to all Participants as required in DOL Reg. ss.2520.104b-3), this
Section shall apply only to a Participant or Inactive Participant with respect
to whom this Plan holds Transferred Benefits that were directly or indirectly
transferred from a defined benefit pension plan, money purchase pension plan, or
other qualified plan to which Code ss.401(a)(11)(B)(iii) applies. Furthermore,
this Section shall only apply to that portion of the Participant's Transferred
Benefits attributable to such transfer (the "Annuity Eligible Accrued
Benefits"). Prior to January 1, 2004, this Section shall apply as provided in
the Prior Plan.

         (a)      Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity: A Participant or Former
                  Participant shall receive his/her Annuity Eligible Accrued
                  Benefits in the form of an Qualified Joint and Survivor
                  Annuity, unless he elects otherwise as provided in subsection
                  (b) below. The Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is an
                  immediate annuity providing monthly payments for the life of
                  the Participant with, if the Participant is married on the
                  Distribution Date, a survivor annuity providing monthly
                  payments for the life of the Participant's surviving spouse
                  (terminating with the last payment due prior to her death)
                  equal to fifty percent (50%) of the monthly payment amount
                  during the joint lives of the Participant and his/her spouse.
                  The monthly payment amount of the Qualified Joint and Survivor
                  Annuity shall be that amount that can be purchased from an
                  Insurer with the Annuity Eligible Accrued Benefits of the
                  Participant as of the Distribution Date.

                  The Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity for a Participant or
                  Former Participant who is not married on his/her Distribution
                  Date shall be a life annuity that provides monthly payments
                  for the life of the Participant and terminates with the last
                  payment due prior to his/her death. The annuity shall be
                  purchased from an Insurer in an amount that can be provided by
                  the Participant's Annuity Eligible Accrued Benefits.

         (b)      Notice and Election of Form of Retirement Benefit: Each
                  Participant or Inactive Participant with an Annuity Eligible
                  Accrued Benefit shall be provided a written notification by
                  the Plan Administrator. The notification shall be in

                  (2)      The circumstances in which it will be provided unless

                  (5)      The right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of
                           an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor

                           information to explain the relative values of the
                           optional forms of retirement benefit.

                  The notification shall also inform the Participant that a
                  specific written explanation in non-technical language of the
                  terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and Survivor
                  Annuity and the financial effect upon the particular
                  Participant's benefits of making an election against the
                  Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is available upon written
                  request by the Participant. The notification shall be provided
                  not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days
                  before the Distribution Date. If the Participant requests a
                  specific written explanation, the explanation shall be
                  provided within thirty (30) days of the Participant's request.
                  The Plan Administrator need not comply with more than one such
                  request made by a particular Participant.

                  During the Joint and Survivor Election Period, as hereinafter
                  defined, a Participant eligible to make the election to waive
                  the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity of subsection (a)
                  shall be eligible to elect to receive his/her benefits as
                  provided in Section 9.03. The election shall be in writing and
                  may be revoked at any time during the Joint and Survivor
                  Election Period. New elections and revocations may be made any
                  number of times during the Joint and Survivor Election Period
                  after a previous election or revocation. For purposes of this
                  paragraph, the term "Joint and Survivor Election Period" shall
                  mean the ninety (90) day period ending on the Distribution
                  Date.

         (c)      Consent of Spouse: Notwithstanding any other provision of this
                  Article, any election by a Participant or Inactive Participant
                  to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity pursuant to
                  subsection (b) shall not be given effect unless:

                  (1)      The spouse of the Participant consents in writing to
                           such election;

                  (2)      The spouse acknowledges the form of benefit payment
                           elected by the Participant and, if applicable, the
                           Beneficiary designated by the Participant, or the
                           spouse relinquishes the right to specify the form of
                           benefit payment and name the Beneficiary; and the
                           spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of such
                           election and is witnessed by the Plan Administrator
                           (or representative thereof) or a notary public;

                  (3)      It is established to the satisfaction of the Plan
                           Administrator that the consent required under (1)
                           above may not be obtained because there is no spouse,
                           because the spouse cannot be located, or because of
                           such other circumstances as the Secretary of the
                           Treasury may by Regulation prescribe; or

<PAGE>

                  (4)      The lump sum benefit otherwise payable to the
                           Participant is less than Three Thousand Five Hundred
                           Dollars ($3,500) and a lump sum payment will be made
                           pursuant to Section 9.03.

                  A waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity made
                  pursuant to subsection (b) shall be automatically revoked upon
                  the marriage of the Participant, prior to his/her Distribution
                  Date, to a person who has not consented to the waiver pursuant
                  to subsection (1) above or from whom consent was not required
                  by reason of subsection (2) above; or upon a change in the
                  form of benefit payment or in the Beneficiary designated by
                  the Participant pursuant to subsection (1)(ii) above, unless
                  the spouse has relinquished the right to specify the form of
                  benefit payment and to name the Beneficiary.

                  If the requirements of the preceding paragraphs are not
                  satisfied, the Participant shall receive his/her Annuity
                  Eligible Accrued Benefit in the form of the Qualified Joint
                  and Survivor Annuity.

         9.07 Distribution of Employer Securities:

         (a)      So long as the Plan holds Employer Securities that are not
                  issued by an FX Employer that is an electing corporation under
                  sub-chapter S of the Code, then to the extent the
                  Participant's Account is invested in such Employer Securities
                  distributions of benefits from the Plan shall be made in those
                  Employer Securities, valued at fair market value at the time
                  of distribution. Any fractional security share to which a
                  Participant or his/her Beneficiary is entitled shall be paid
                  in cash.

         (b)      If the Employer's charter or bylaws restrict ownership of
                  substantially all shares of Employer Securities to Employees
                  or to the Trust, then distribution of the Participant's
                  Accrued Benefit attributable to his/her Employer Securities
                  Account shall be made entirely in cash.

         9.09 Distribution of Transferred Benefits: To the extent not already
provided under the terms of this Plan, and notwithstanding any other provisions
to the contrary, this Plan guarantees to each Participant whose Account includes
Transferred Benefits the right to receive all Transferred Benefits in any
optional form of benefit (including time, manner and method of distribution)
protected under IRC ss.411(d)(6). The extent and nature of the optional forms of
benefits so protected shall be determined by reference to the Predecessor
Plan(s). Effective for Plan Years commencing after December 31, 2002, (or if
sooner, ninety (90) days after notice is given to all Plan Participants that
satisfies DOL Reg. ss.2520.104b-3) no optional forms of benefit, except those
required under Section 9.06 and those set forth in Section 9.03 shall be
available under the Plan.

                                 DEATH BENEFITS

         10.01 Death Benefits Payable: If a Participant who has not received a
distribution of his/her entire Vested Interest dies, whether before or after
his/her Distribution Date, the death benefit payable to the Beneficiary,
Contingent Beneficiary or estate (as the case may be) of the Participant shall
be all amounts credited (or to be credited) to his/her Accounts then held by the
Trustee for the Participant's benefit, without regard to the Participant's
Vested Percentage and that have yet to be distributed. If an Inactive
Participant who has not received a distribution of his/her entire Vested
Interest dies, whether before or after his/her Distribution Date, the death
benefit payable to the Beneficiary, Contingent Beneficiary or estate (as the
case may be) of the Inactive Participant shall be the remaining Vested Interest
in the Inactive Participant's Accounts then held by the Trustee for the Inactive
Participant's benefit.

         10.02 Designation of Beneficiary: Each Participant or Inactive
Participant shall be given the opportunity to designate a Beneficiary and
Contingent Beneficiary and from time to time the Participant or Inactive
Participant may file with the Plan Administrator a new or revised designation,
provided that his/her spouse shall be his/her Beneficiary unless his/her spouse
has consented in writing to the designation of a Beneficiary other than his/her
spouse or it is established to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that
the consent of the spouse may not be obtained because there is no spouse, the
spouse cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as may be set
forth in Regulations issued pursuant to Code ss.417(a)(2)(B). The change in
marital status of a Participant from married to unmarried or vice versa shall
void any outstanding beneficiary designation and require the completion and
execution of a new beneficiary designation consistent with the provisions of
this Section. Each Participant or Inactive Participant may also designate any
form of payment available under Section 9.03 to the Beneficiary or Contingent
Beneficiary. A Participant shall not be permitted to designate the form of
payment on any beneficiary designation amended or executed after the Effective
Date. Beneficiary designations shall be completed in the manner approved by the
Plan Administrator or set forth in writing on a form provided by the Plan
Administrator.

         If upon the Participant's death his/her designated Beneficiary does not
survive him, the Contingent Beneficiary shall become the Beneficiary and any
death benefits shall be paid to him or her. If a deceased Participant is not
survived by a designated Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary, or if no
Beneficiary was designated, the benefits shall be paid to the Participant's
surviving spouse or if there is no surviving spouse, then to the executor or
administrator of the Participant's estate. For purposes of determining the right
of a Beneficiary, Contingent Beneficiary or surviving spouse to receive a
benefit on account of the death of a Participant, he or she shall not be deemed
to have survived the Participant unless he or she shall survive the Participant
by at least thirty (30) days.

         If the Beneficiary, Contingent Beneficiary or surviving spouse survives
the Participant and is entitled to receive benefits under this Section 10.02,
but dies prior to receiving the entire death benefit payable to him or her, the
remaining portion of the death benefit shall be paid to the person's named
beneficiary or, if none, to the person's estate subject to the right of
commutation.

         10.03 Death Benefit Payment Procedure: Upon receipt of a claim for
benefits, the Participant's death benefit shall be paid by the Trustee to the
Beneficiary designated by the Participant pursuant to Section 10.02. The
Beneficiary of a Participant may elect to receive any death benefits payable
hereunder in any Optional Form of Payment provided in Article IX other than a
Joint and Survivor Annuity. Until such time as distribution is made to the
Beneficiary the

                                       50
<PAGE>

Participant's Account shall be held in the Plan, subject to all investment
directions of the Beneficiary as though he or she were the Participant. The
Beneficiary's election to receive distribution shall be made in the same manner
provided under Articles IX and XI for distribution to Participants. If the
Beneficiary fails to elect a form of payment, then subject to the small benefit
distribution rules in the next paragraph, the Plan shall distribute the death
benefit in annual installments, commencing no later than December 31 of the Plan
Year following the Plan Year of the Participant's death, with each subsequent
installment payment to be made no later than each December 31 thereafter.

         If the lump sum benefit otherwise payable to the Beneficiary is not
more than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), and payment of benefits to the
deceased Participant has not previously commenced, the benefit shall be paid as
a single lump sum payment. Payment of any death benefits under this paragraph
shall commence, unless otherwise designated by the Participant or elected by the
Beneficiary, as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant's
date of death and the end of the calendar month in which the Plan Administrator
receives a claim for benefits. However, if the amount of the benefit required to
paid on the date determined above cannot be ascertained by that date, or if it
is not possible to make the payment on that date because the Plan Administrator
has been unable to ascertain or locate the Beneficiary after making reasonable
efforts to do so, a payment retroactive to that date may be made as soon as
administratively feasible after the earliest date on which the Beneficiary or
amount of the payment can be ascertained or the date the Beneficiary is located,
whichever is applicable

         10.04 Required Distributions Upon Death: Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Plan, payment of death benefits shall be subject to the
following rules:

         (a)      Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the
                  Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's
                  entire Vested Accrued Benefit will be distributed, or begin to
                  be distributed no later than as follows:

                  (1)      If the Participant's surviving spouse is the
                           Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, then
                           unless otherwise provided herein, distributions to
                           the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the
                           calendar year immediately following the calendar year
                           in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of
                           the calendar year in which the Participant would have
                           attained Age 70 1/2, if later.

                  (2)      If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the
                           Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, then
                           except as otherwise provided herein, distributions to
                           the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31
                           of the calendar year immediately following the
                           calendar year in which the Participant died.

                  (3)      If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September
                           30 of the year following the year of the
                           Participant's death, the Participant's entire Vested
                           Accrued Benefit will be distributed by December 31 of
                           the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of
                           the Participant's death.

                  (4)      If the Participant's surviving spouse is the
                           Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary and the
                           surviving spouse dies after the Participant but
                           before distributions to the surviving spouse begin,
                           this Section 10.04(a), other than subsection (a)(1),
                           will apply as if the surviving spouse were the
                           Participant.

                  For purposes of this Section 10.04(a) and Sections 10.04(e)and
                  (f), unless Section 10.04(a)(4) applies, distributions are
                  considered to begin on the participant's Required Beginning
                  Date. If Section 10.04(a)(4) applies, distributions are
                  considered to begin on the date distributions are required to
                  begin to the surviving spouse under Section 10.04(a)(1).

         (b)      Forms of Distribution. Unless the participant's interest has
                  been distributed in the form of a single sum on or before the
                  Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar
                  Year distributions will be made in accordance with Sections
                  10.04(e) and (f).

         (c)      Beneficiaries' Election of Five Year Rule. Beneficiaries may
                  elect on an individual basis whether the five year rule or the
                  Life Expectancy rule in Sections 10.04(a) and (f) applies to
                  distributions after the death of a Participant who has a
                  Designated Beneficiary. The election must be made no later
                  than the earlier of September 30 of the calendar year in which
                  distribution would be required to begin under Section 10.04(a)
                  or by September 30 of the calendar year that contains the
                  fifth anniversary of the Participant's (or, if applicable,
                  surviving spouse's) death. If neither the Participant nor
                  Beneficiary makes an election under this subsection,
                  distributions will be made in accordance with Sections
                  10.04(a) and (f).

         (d)      Transition Rule for Designated Beneficiary Receiving
                  Distributions Under Five Year Rule to Elect Life Expectancy
                  Distributions. A Designated Beneficiary who is receiving
                  payments under the five year rule may make a new election to
                  receive payments under the Life Expectancy rule until December
                  31, 2003, provided that all amounts that would have been
                  required to be distributed under the Life Expectancy rule for
                  all Distribution Calendar Years before 2004 are distributed by
                  the earlier of December 31, 2003, or the end of the five year
                  period.

         (e)      Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

                  (1)      Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If
                           the Participant dies on or after the date
                           distributions begin and there is a Designated
                           Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be
                           distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after
                           the year of the Participant's death is the quotient
                           obtained by dividing the Participant's Account
                           Balance by the longer of the remaining Life
                           Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life
                           Expectancy of the Participant's Designated
                           Beneficiary, determined as follows:

                           (i)      The Participant's remaining Life Expectancy
                                    is calculated using the Age of the
                                    Participant in the year of death, reduced by
                                    one for each subsequent year.

                           (ii)     If the Participant's surviving spouse is the
                                    Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary,
                                    the remaining Life Expectancy of the
                                    surviving spouse is calculated for each
                                    Distribution Calendar Year after the year of
                                    the Participant's death using the surviving
                                    spouse's Age as of the spouse's birthday in
                                    that year. For Distribution Calendar Years
                                    after the year of the surviving spouse's
                                    death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the
                                    surviving spouse is calculated using the Age
                                    of the surviving spouse as of the spouse's
                                    birthday in the calendar year

                                       52

                                    of the spouse's death, reduced by one for
                                    each subsequent calendar year.

                           (iii)    If the Participant's surviving spouse is not
                                    the Participant's sole Designated
                                    Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary's
                                    remaining Life Expectancy is calculated
                                    using the Age of the Beneficiary in the year
                                    following the year of the Participant's
                                    death, reduced by one for each subsequent
                                    year.

                  (2)      No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on
                           or after the date distributions begin and there is no
                           Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
                           after the year of the Participant's death, the
                           minimum amount that will be distributed for each
                           Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the
                           Participant's death is the quotient obtained by
                           dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the
                           Participant's remaining Life Expectancy calculated
                           using the Age of the Participant in the year of
                           death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

         (f) Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

                  (1)      Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If
                           the Participant dies before the date distributions
                           begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the
                           minimum amount that will be distributed for each
                           Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the
                           Participant's death is the quotient obtained by
                           dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the
                           remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant's
                           Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in
                           Section 10.04(e).

                  (2)      No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies
                           before the date distributions begin and there is no
                           Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
                           following the year of the Participant's death,
                           distribution of the Participant's entire interest
                           will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year
                           containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's
                           death.

                  (3)      Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to
                           Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the
                           Participant dies before the date distributions begin,
                           the Participant's surviving spouse is the
                           Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, and the
                           surviving spouse dies before distributions are
                           required to begin to the surviving spouse under
                           Section 10.04 (a)(1), this Section 10.04(f) will
                           apply as if the surviving spouse were the
                           Participant.

         10.05 Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity and Related Matters:
Effective for all distributions commencing after December 31, 2001, (provided
notice has been delivered to all Participants and Beneficiaries as required in
DOL Reg. ss.2520.104b-3) this Section shall apply only to a Participant or
Inactive Participant with respect to whom this Plan holds Transferred Benefits
that were directly or indirectly transferred from a defined benefit pension
plan, money purchase pension plan, or other qualified plan to which Code
ss.401(a)(11)(B)(iii) applies. Furthermore, this Section shall only apply to
that portion of the Participant's Transferred Benefits attributable to such
transfer ("Annuity Eligible Accrued Benefits"). Prior to January 1, 2004, this
Section shall apply as provided in the prior Plan.

                                       53
<PAGE>

         If a Participant or Inactive Participant dies prior to his/her
Distribution Date and is survived by a spouse, a Qualified Pre-retirement
Survivor Annuity shall be paid to the surviving spouse except as otherwise
provided by the following provisions. A Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor
Annuity is an immediate annuity payable to the Participant for the life of the
spouse in monthly amounts equal to the monthly amount that can be purchased from
an insurer with fifty percent (50%) of the Annuity Eligible Accrued Benefits of
the Participant as of the date of his/her death.

         (a)      A Participant may elect to waive the Qualified Pre-retirement
                  Survivor Annuity provided under this Section during the
                  election period described in subsection (d). The waiver may be
                  revoked by the Participant during the election period by
                  filing with the Plan Administrator on a form approved by the
                  Plan Administrator an executed revocation of such waiver.
                  Following revocation a Participant may again waive the
                  Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity and subsequently
                  revoke the waiver any number of times during the election
                  period.

         (b)      A waiver pursuant to subsection (a) shall not be effective
                  unless:

                  (1)      The spouse, to whom the Participant is married at the
                           time such waiver is executed, consents in writing to
                           such waiver;

                  (2)      The spouse acknowledges the form of the death benefit
                           payable in lieu of the Qualified Pre-retirement
                           Survivor Annuity and the Beneficiary designated by
                           the Participant, or the spouse relinquishes the right
                           to specify the form of the death benefit and name the
                           Beneficiary; and

                  (3)      The consent acknowledges the effect of the waiver and
                           is witnessed by the Plan Administrator (or
                           representative thereof) or a notary public; or

                  (4)      It is established to the satisfaction of the Plan
                           Administrator that the consent of the spouse required
                           by this Section may not be obtained because there is
                           no spouse, the spouse cannot be located or because of
                           such other circumstances as may be set forth in
                           Regulations issued pursuant to Section 417(a)(2)(B)
                           of the Code; and

                  (3)      The waiver is made on a form approved by the Plan
                           Administrator and executed by the Participant and, if
                           required, the spouse of the Participant.

         (c) A waiver made pursuant to subsection (a) shall be automatically
revoked:

                  (1)      Upon the marriage of the Participant to a person who
                           has not consented to the waiver pursuant to
                           subsection (b)(1) or from whom consent was not
                           required by reason of subsection (b)(2); or

                  (2)      Upon a change in the form of the death benefit or in
                           the Beneficiary designated by the Participant, unless
                           the spouse has relinquished the right to specify the
                           form of the death benefit and to name the
                           Beneficiary.

         (d)      The election period shall begin on the first day of the Plan
                  Year in which the Participant attains Age thirty-five (35) and
                  shall end on the date such Participant dies. Notwithstanding
                  the foregoing, in the case of a Participant who incurs a
                  Termination of Employment before the Participant attains Age
                  thirty-five (35), the election period

                                       54
<PAGE>

                  shall begin on the date of Termination of Employment and shall
                  end on the date the Participant dies.

         (e)      Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, an
                  election to waive the Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor
                  Annuity made by a Participant before the first day of the Plan
                  Year in which he attains Age thirty-five (35) shall only be
                  effective until the first day of the Plan Year in which he
                  attains Age thirty-five (35), at which time such election
                  shall be automatically revoked.

         (f)      The Plan Administrator shall provide to each Participant
                  within the period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year
                  in which the Participant attains Age thirty-two (32), but not
                  earlier than the first day of the one-year period ending on
                  the date he becomes a Participant, and ending on the last day
                  of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the
                  Participant attains Age thirty-five (35), but not earlier than
                  the last day of the one-year period beginning on the date he
                  becomes a Participant, a written explanation of the Qualified
                  Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity containing the following:

                  (1)      The terms and conditions of the Qualified
                           Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity;

                  (2)      The Participant's right to make, and the effect of,
                           an election to waive the Qualified Pre-retirement
                           Survivor Annuity;

                  (3)      The rights of the Participant's spouse under
                           subsection (b)(1); and

                  (4)      The right of the Participant to make, and the effect
                           of, a revocation of an election pursuant to
                           subsection (a).

                  The Plan Administrator shall also provide an explanation to
                  each Participant who incurs a separation from service prior to
                  receiving the explanation no later than the earlier of the end
                  of the one-year period beginning on the date of his/her
                  separation from service or the end of the period described
                  above.

         (g)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a surviving
                  spouse entitled to a benefit under this Section, may elect to
                  receive payment of the Qualified Pre- retirement Survivor
                  Annuity in a lump sum or any other form of payment permitted
                  under Section 10.04. Upon request, the Plan Administrator
                  shall furnish the spouse with an explanation of the Qualified
                  Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity and with information
                  concerning the financial effect of receiving benefits in any
                  form selected. An election under this subsection must be filed
                  with the Plan Administrator before benefit payments commence,
                  unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise.

         (h)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a surviving
                  spouse may delay the commencement of benefit payments pursuant
                  hereto, provided such delay satisfies the requirement of
                  Article IX by deeming the surviving spouse to be the
                  Participant.

         (i)      If the lump sum amount of the Qualified Pre-retirement
                  Survivor Annuity otherwise payable to the surviving spouse is
                  less than Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), such
                  benefit shall be paid as a single lump sum payment.

                           Less than three (3) years                   none
                           At least three (3) or more years            100%

         (c)      A Participant's Predecessor Plan Account (if any) shall be
                  vested pursuant to the vesting rules set forth in the
                  Predecessor Plan Account.

         Effective January 1, 2005, a Participant shall be one hundred percent
(100%) vested in the balance in his/her Matching Contribution Account which has
been allocated to his/her Matching Contribution Account on account of
Participant Elective Deferrals made after December 31, 2004, and shall be vested
in a percentage of the balance in his/her Profit-Sharing Contribution Account
attributable to Profit Sharing Contributions made to the Plan after January 1,
2004, according to the Participant's Years of Vesting Service, and consistent
with the following schedule:

                                                        Percent of Vested
         Years of Vesting Service                        Accrued Benefit
         ------------------------                        ---------------

         At least three (3) or more years                      100%

         The percentage of his/her Accrued Benefit attributable to the
Participant's Employer Contribution Accounts in which he is not vested shall be
forfeited by him as provided in Section 11.06.

         11.02 Distribution of Vested Interest: Subject to the provisions of
Section 9.06 and Article XXII, a Participant who incurs a Termination of
Employment for any reason other than retirement or death shall receive a single
lump sum payment equal to the Participant's Vested Interest as of the date
payment is made. The amount of the lump sum payment shall be equal to the

                                       57
<PAGE>

Participant's Vested Interest on the date payment is made. Payment shall be made
in cash only, to the extent the Participant's Vested Interest is attributable to
the balance in the Participant's General Investments Account and in Employer
Securities to the extent the Participant's Vested Interest is attributable to
the balance in the Participant's Employer Securities Account.

         If a Participant elects a deferred payment, then payment of the
Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit shall be deferred to the subsequent date
elected by the Participant, which may be no later than the latest date permitted
under Section 9.05, or (if no election is made) to the earliest date permitted
under Section 9.04, as though the Participant had then retired. Distribution
shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03.

         If the lump sum amount that would be payable to the terminated
Participant is not more than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), without regard to
whether the Vested Accrued Benefit in the Participant's Account has ever
exceeded that amount at the time of any prior distribution, the benefit shall be
paid as a single lump sum payment in cash as soon as administratively feasible
following the end of the calendar month in which his/her Termination of
Employment occurs without regard to any Participant consent requirement or the
requirements of Section 9.06. For this purpose the Vested Accrued Benefit held
in the Participant's Employer Securities Account shall be valued as of the most
recent preceding Valuation Date.

         If the Participant elects distribution following Termination of
Employment, payment shall commence after the later of the date on which the
Participant makes the distribution request (by filing a claim for benefits) or
terminates employment, according to the following rules:

         (a)      Payment of the portion of the Participant's Vested Interest
                  held in his/her General Investments Account shall commence as
                  soon as administratively feasible following the end of the
                  calendar month in which the claim for benefits is submitted or
                  the termination occurs.

         (b)      Payment of the portion of the Participant's Vested Interest
                  held in the Participant's Employer Securities Account shall
                  commence as soon as administratively feasible after the next
                  Valuation Date that follows the date the claim for benefits is
                  submitted or the termination occurs.

         (c)      A Participant may elect to delay distribution of his/her
                  Vested Interest held in his/her General Investments Account
                  until distribution of the amounts in his/her Employer
                  Securities Account.

         If an Inactive Participant dies or incurs a Disability before his/her
Normal Retirement Date, the Plan Administrator, upon notice of the death or
Disability, shall direct the Trustee to make payment of the Participant's Vested
Interest to him (or to his/her Beneficiary if the Participant is deceased) in
accordance with the provisions of Article X in the case of death, or Section
9.02 in the case of Disability.

         Notwithstanding the above, if a terminated Participant is re-employed
by the Employer prior to distribution of his/her Vested Interest, then no
distribution shall be made until his/her employment is again terminated or until
the occurrence of another event permitting distribution under the terms of the
Plan.

         11.03 Eligible Rollover Distributions: Notwithstanding any provision of
this Plan to the contrary, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the
manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator,

                                       58
<PAGE>

to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an
Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. For
purposes of this Section 11.03 the following definitions shall apply:

         (a)      "Eligible Rollover Distribution" shall mean any distribution
                  of all or any portion of the balance to the credit in the
                  Account of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover
                  Distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of
                  a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less
                  frequently than annually) made for the life (or life
                  expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint
                  life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's
                  designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years
                  or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is
                  required under Code ss.401(a)(9), and the portion of any
                  distribution that is not includible in gross income
                  (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized
                  appreciation with respect to Employer Securities). Effective
                  January 1, 2000, an Eligible Rollover Distribution shall not
                  include any hardship withdrawal as defined in Code
                  ss.401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) or permitted under Section 8.01(c) that
                  is attributable to the Participant's Elective Deferrals as
                  defined under Reg. ss.1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(ii).

                  Effective for distributions made after December 31, 2001, any
                  amount that is distributed on account of hardship (without
                  regard to whether the hardship withdrawal is attributable to
                  Elective Deferrals) shall not be an eligible rollover
                  distribution and the Distributee may not elect to have any
                  portion of such a distribution paid directly to an eligible
                  retirement plan. A portion of a distribution shall not fail to
                  be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the
                  portion consists of Employee Voluntary Contributions that are
                  not includable in gross income. However, such portion may be
                  transferred only to an individual retirement account or
                  annuity described in Code ss.ss.408(a) or (b), or to a
                  qualified defined contribution plan described in Code
                  ss.ss.401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to account separately for
                  amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for
                  the portion of the distribution that is includable in gross
                  income and the portion of the distribution that is not so
                  includable.

         (b)      "Eligible Retirement Plan" shall mean an individual retirement
                  account described in Code ss.408(a), an individual retirement
                  annuity described in Code ss.408(b), an annuity plan described
                  in Code ss.403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code
                  ss.401(a), that accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover
                  Distribution. However, in the case of an Eligible Rollover
                  Distribution to the surviving spouse, an Eligible Retirement
                  Plan is an individual retirement account or individual
                  retirement annuity.

                  Effective for distributions made after December 31, 2001, an
                  eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract
                  described in Code ss.403(b) and an eligible plan under Code
                  ss.457(b) that is maintained by a state, political subdivision
                  of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or
                  political subdivision of a state and which agrees to
                  separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from
                  this Plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall
                  also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving
                  spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate
                  payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in
                  Code ss.414(p).

         (c)      "Distributee" shall mean an Employee or former Employee. In
                  addition, the Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse
                  and the Employee's or former Employee's spouse or former
                  spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified

                                       59
<PAGE>

                  domestic relations order, as defined in Code ss.414(p), are
                  Distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or
                  former spouse.

         (d)      "Direct Rollover" shall mean a payment by the Plan to the
                  Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

         11.04 Breaks in Service and Vesting: If a Participant has a One Year
Break in Service, the Participant's Years of Vesting Service before the One Year
Break in Service shall not be included in computing Years of Vesting Service
until the Participant shall have completed one Year of Vesting Service after the
One Year Break in Service. If an Employee terminated employment prior to
becoming a Participant and incurred a One Year Break in Service, or if a
Participant did not have any Vested Interest derived from Employer contributions
prior to a One Year Break in Service, Years of Vesting Service before a One Year
Break in Service shall not be included in Years of Vesting Service calculated
after the Participant's One Year Break in Service if the number of consecutive
One Year Breaks in Service equals or exceeds the greater of five (5) or the
aggregate number of such Years of Vesting Service before the One Year Break in
Service.

         Solely for the purpose of determining the vested percentage of a
Participant's Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions that accrued
prior to a five (5) consecutive one (1) year Break in Service period, the Plan
shall disregard any Year of Service subsequent to such five (5) consecutive one
(1) year Breaks in Service period.

         If a Participant has a One Year Break in Service, and the break does
not arise on account of Termination of Employment, the Participant shall not be
credited with a Year of Vesting Service for that Plan Year. However, no amounts
in the Participant's Accounts shall be forfeited.

         11.05 No Increase in Pre-break Vesting: For purposes of Section 11.01,
Years of Vesting Service after a Termination of Employment that resulted in five
(5) consecutive One Year Breaks in Service shall not increase the vested
percentage of a Participant's Account that was earned before such five (5)
consecutive One Year Breaks in Service.

         11.06 Disposition of Forfeitures: Amounts forfeited by terminated
Participants from their Employer Matching Contribution Accounts shall be used to
reduce the Employer's contribution otherwise required pursuant to Section 5.06
and shall be allocated in the same manner as Employer Matching Contributions in
accordance with Section 6.02(c). Amounts forfeited by terminated Participants
from their Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Accounts shall be allocated as
though additional contributions the same manner as the Employer's Profit Sharing
Contribution made pursuant to Section 5.07 to Participants' Accounts as provided
in Section 6.02(d). To the extent possible, the Plan Administrator must forfeit
from a Participant's General Investments Account before making a forfeiture from
his/her Employer Securities Account.

         Forfeiture of any non-vested interest with respect to any Participant
shall occur:

         (a)      In the case of a Participant who receives a lump sum
                  distribution of his/her Vested Interest on account of
                  Termination of Employment, on the day the Participant receives
                  the distribution.

         (b)      In the case of a Participant who has a Vested Interest derived
                  from Employer Contributions and does not receive a
                  distribution of such Vested Interest, on the last day of the
                  Plan Year in which the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive
                  One Year Breaks in Service.

                                       60
<PAGE>

         (c)      In the case of a Participant who has no Vested Interest
                  derived from Employer Contributions, on the last day of the
                  Plan Year in which the Participant terminates employment.

         Non-vested interests of terminated Participants shall be held by the
Trustee in the respective Accounts of the Participant until the date determined
above and shall then be forfeited by the Participant and allocated in accordance
with this Section.

         11.07 Distribution to Participants Who Are Less Than 100% Vested: In
the event a Participant who is less than one hundred percent (100%) vested in
his entire Account hereunder incurs a Termination of Employment and returns to
the employ of the Employer after a forfeiture of his/her non-vested interest but
prior to incurring five (5) consecutive One Year Breaks in Service, and prior to
his/her re-employment was paid his/her Vested Interest, the non-vested portion
of his/her Accrued Benefit that was forfeited by the Participant shall be
disregarded in computing his/her Accrued Benefit after re-entry into the Plan,
unless the Participant repays, pursuant to Section 11.08, the amounts
distributed from his/her Account from which an amount was forfeited. If a
Participant does repay the distribution, the balance in such Account shall be
restored as provided in Section 11.09.

         In the event a Participant who had no Vested Interest in any Employer
Contribution Account separated from service and returns to the employ of the
Employer after a forfeiture of his/her non- vested interest but prior to
incurring five (5) consecutive One Year Breaks in Service, any non-vested
amounts forfeited by the Participant shall be restored, as provided in Section
11.09, to the Account from which an amount was forfeited.

         11.08 Repayment of Distribution: A Participant described in Section
11.07 who received a lump sum distribution of less than one hundred percent
(100%) of his/her Accrued Benefit shall be entitled to repay the amounts
distributed from all Employer Contribution Accounts. The repayment must be for
the full amount distributed from all Employer Contribution Accounts and must be
made not later than the earlier of:

         (a)      The date on which the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive
                  One Year Breaks in Service after the date of distribution.

         (b)      The end of the five (5) year period beginning with the date
                  the Participant is re- employed by the Employer.

         Any repayment shall not be included in applying the limitations of
Article V or Article VIII hereunder.

         11.09 Restoration of Accounts: Any amount repaid pursuant to Section
11.08 shall be credited to the Participant's Accounts for which it is repaid,
with credit to be made as of the date of repayment. The Account shall also be
credited with the amount previously forfeited from the Account, with credit to
be made as of the last day of the Plan Year in which repayment is made.

         In the case of a Participant to whom the second paragraph of Section
11.07 applies, the Participant's Accounts from which amounts were previously
forfeited shall be credited with the amount so forfeited, with credit to be made
as of the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant resumes
participation in the Plan.

                                       61
<PAGE>

         Any previously forfeited amounts that are credited to Participants'
Accounts pursuant to this Section shall be derived from the following sources in
the following order of priority:

         (a)      First, the amount, if any, to be credited to such types of
                  Accounts for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 11.05;

         (b)      Second, Employer contributions for the Plan Year, if any, that
                  are not required to be credited to such types of Accounts for
                  other Participants; and

         (c)      Third, an additional Employer contribution for the Plan Year,
                  regardless of whether the Employer has any Net Profits for the
                  year.

         If for any Plan Year, the Accounts of more than one Participant are
required to be restored, then restorations shall be derived from the above
sources in the same proportion that the amount to be restored to each
Participant bears to the total amount to be restored to all such Participants
for the Plan Year. Any such amounts credited to a Participant's Accounts shall
not be included in applying the limitations of Article V or Article VIII
hereunder.

         11.10 Amendments to the Vesting Schedule: No amendment to the vesting
schedule or provisions of Section 11.01, or to this Plan that directly or
indirectly affects the computation of a Participant's Accrued Benefit, shall
deprive a Participant of a vested right to the benefits accrued to the effective
date of the amendment. Furthermore, if the vesting schedule or provisions of
Section 11.01 are amended, each Participant with at least three (3) Years of
Vesting Service (determined as of the later of the date the amendment is adopted
or the date the amendment is effective) may elect to have his/her vesting
percentage computed under the Plan without regard to the amendment. The period
during which the election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment
is adopted and shall end on the latest of:

         (a)      Sixty (60) days after the amendment is adopted;

         (b)      Sixty (60) days after the amendment becomes effective; or

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

In the absence of any written notice under (c) above, any Participant who has at
least three (3) Years of Vesting Service (as determined above) shall at all
times receive a Vested Interest under whichever vesting schedule provides the
greatest Vested Interest.

                                FIDUCIARY DUTIES

         12.01 General Fiduciary Duty: A Fiduciary, whether or not a Named
Fiduciary, shall discharge his/her duties solely in the interest of the
Participants and their Beneficiaries hereunder. All assets of this Plan shall be
devoted to the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their
Beneficiaries and defraying the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan.
Each Fiduciary, whether or not a Named Fiduciary, shall discharge his/her duties
with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with
like aims. Each Fiduciary shall also discharge his/her duties in a manner
consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan to the extent
such documents and instruments are consistent with law. No Fiduciary, whether or
not a Named Fiduciary, shall engage in any of the prohibited transactions with
disqualified persons or parties-in-interest as those terms and transactions are
defined by the Code and ERISA, as passed and as it may be amended, and
regulations thereunder.

         12.02 Allocation of Responsibilities: Each Named Fiduciary shall have
only those duties and responsibilities expressly allocated under the terms of
this Plan. No other duties or responsibilities shall be implied.

         12.03 Delegation of Responsibilities: Each Named Fiduciary may delegate
the fiduciary responsibilities other than Trustee responsibilities allocated to
such Fiduciary under this Plan to any person other than a Named Fiduciary. If
any duties or responsibilities are delegated under this section, the person to
whom the duties or responsibilities are delegated shall acknowledge the fact in
writing and shall specify in writing the duties and responsibilities so
delegated. All other duties and responsibilities shall be deemed not to have
been delegated.

         12.04 Liability for Allocation or Delegation of Responsibilities: A
Named Fiduciary shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of a person to
whom responsibilities or duties are allocated or delegated in accordance with
Section 12.02 or Section 12.03 except to the extent such Named Fiduciary
breaches his/her obligation under Section 12.01:

         (a)      With respect to the allocation or delegation;

         (b)      With respect to establishing or implementing a procedure for
                  allocation or delegation; or

         (c)      By continuing the allocation or delegation.

         Nothing in this section shall relieve a Fiduciary from liability
incurred under Section 12.05.

         12.05 Liability for Co-Fiduciaries: In addition to the liability a
Fiduciary may incur for the breach of his/her duty under Section 12.01 or 12.04,
a Fiduciary shall be liable for a breach of Fiduciary duty committed by another
Fiduciary in the following circumstances:

         (a)      If he participates knowingly in, or knowingly undertakes to
                  conceal, an act or omission of such other Fiduciary knowing
                  such act or omission is a breach;

         (b)      If, by his/her failure to comply with Section 12.01 he has
                  enabled such other Fiduciary to commit a breach;

                                       63
<PAGE>

         (c)      If he has knowledge of a breach by such other Fiduciary,
                  unless he makes reasonable efforts under the circumstances to
                  remedy the breach.

         12.06 Same Person May Serve in More than One Capacity: Nothing herein
shall prevent any person from serving in more than one Fiduciary capacity.

         12.07 Indemnification: The Employer shall hold harmless and indemnify
to the fullest extent permitted by ERISA each non-Trustee Fiduciary of the Plan
with respect to the consequences of all actions or failures to act of the
Fiduciary while carrying out his/her responsibilities under the Plan. The
Employer shall further hold harmless and indemnify each Fiduciary who is
subjected to any claim or action or who is made a party in any threatened,
pending or completed proceeding, including, without limitation, any proceeding
brought by or in the name of the Plan or by any participant thereof or by any
governmental agency. The Employer's indemnification shall include any and all
expenses (including attorney's and/or consultant's fees), costs, damages,
judgments, fines, interest, penalties (including any that may be imposed under
ERISA ss.502(l)) and/or amounts paid in settlement and that are actually and
reasonably incurred by a Fiduciary in connection with the investigation,
defense, settlement, preparation for trial, trial, or appeal of any proceeding,
claim or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer shall not be
obligated to hold harmless or indemnify a Fiduciary of the Plan if
indemnification is inconsistent with applicable law or if the act(s) or
omission(s) of the Fiduciary to be indemnified are determined to have involved
intentional misconduct, gross negligence or a knowing violation of ERISA or
other applicable law by the Fiduciary.

         To the extent a Fiduciary is a named insured under any policy of
liability insurance maintained by the Plan or the Employer, the policy and the
payment obligations of the insurance company under the policy shall be deemed
primary and in lieu of the Employer's obligations under this Section 12.07, but
only to the extent of the coverage provided in the policy. No insurer under any
policy shall claim any right to reimbursement or refund from the Employer and no
obligation of the Employer hereunder shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of
any third party.

Fiduciary for purposes of ERISA in appointing an Investment Manager. The
Investment Manager shall accept his/her appointment by written agreement
executed by the Plan Administrator and Investment Manager. This written
agreement shall specify the Plan assets for which the Investment Manager is

the event the claim is denied, the reasons for the denial shall be specifically
set forth in a notice in language calculated to be understood by the claimant.
Pertinent provisions of the Plan shall be cited, and, where appropriate, an
explanation as to how the claimant may perfect the claim shall be provided. In
addition, the claimant shall be furnished with an explanation of the Plan's
claim review procedure.

         13.07 Claims Review Procedure: Any Employee, former Employee, or
Beneficiary of either, whose benefit claim submitted pursuant to Section 13.06
has been denied (whether in full or in part) shall be entitled to request
further consideration to his/her claim by filing an appeal with the Plan
Administrator, which may be in the form of a request for reconsideration. The
request, together with a written statement of the reasons why the claimant
believes his/her appeal should be allowed, shall be filed with the Plan
Administrator no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written
notification provided for in Section 13.06. The Plan Administrator shall conduct
the review of the appeal. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may

his/her claim. During the appeal review period or at the hearing (upon five (5)
business days prior written notice to the Plan Administrator) the claimant or
his/her representative shall have an opportunity to review all documents in the
possession of the Plan that are pertinent to the claim at issue and its
disallowance. A final decision on the claim shall be made by the Plan
Administrator within sixty (60) days of receipt of the appeal unless (i) because
of special circumstances there has been an extension of sixty (60) days that has
been communicated in writing to the claimant, or (ii) a hearing is held, in

days of receipt of the appeal. The communication containing the Plan

<PAGE>

also inform the claimant of the limitation on any further action by the claimant
set forth in Section 13.08.

         13.08 Limitations of Actions on Claims: The delivery to the claimant of
the final decision of the Plan Administrator with respect to a claim for
benefits under Section 13.06 that has been reviewed and considered under the
appeal procedures of Section 13.07 shall commence the period during which the
claimant may bring legal action under ERISA for judicial review of the Plan
Administrator's decision. No civil action with respect to the claim for benefits
or the subject matter thereof may be commenced by the claimant, whether such
action is pursued through litigation, arbitration or otherwise, prior to the
completion of the claims and claims review process set forth in Sections 13.06
and 13.07, nor following the expiration of two (2) years from the date of
delivery of the final decision of the Plan Administrator to the claimant under
Section 13.07.

         13.09 Compensation and Expenses of Plan Administrator: The Plan
Administrator may engage the services of any person, including counsel, whose
services, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator, are necessary to assist it
in carrying out its responsibilities under the Plan. The Employer may direct the
Trustee to pay any expenses properly and actually incurred for such services
from the Trust Fund, including such reasonable compensation for services
provided by the Plan Administrator as shall have been agreed upon between them,
or, alternatively, the Employer may pay such expenses or compensation directly;
provided, however, that no individual acting as Plan Administrator shall receive
any compensation if he already receives full-time pay from the Employer.

         13.10 Removal or Resignation: A Plan Administrator may be removed by
the Board of Directors of the Plan Sponsor upon thirty (30) days written notice,
and may resign upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Board of Directors.
Upon such removal or resignation, or the inability of the Plan Administrator for
any other reason to act as Plan Administrator, the Board of Directors shall
appoint a successor Plan Administrator. The successor Plan Administrator, upon
written acceptance, shall have all the duties and responsibilities of a Plan
Administrator herein. The former Plan Administrator shall deliver to the
successor Plan Administrator all records and documents that it holds relating to
the Plan upon removal or resignation.

         13.11 Records of Plan Administrator: The Plan Sponsor shall have
access, upon request, to all the records of the Plan Administrator that relate
to the Plan.

         13.12 Other Responsibilities: Nothing in this Article shall be
construed to limit the responsibilities and duties allocated to the Plan
Administrator in other Articles of this Plan.

                                   THE TRUSTEE

         14.01 Appointment of Trustee: The Board of Directors of the Plan
Sponsor shall appoint the Trustee. Nothing in this Plan shall prevent the Plan
Sponsor from appointing multiple Trustees or creating multiple Trust Funds, each
with separate Trustees. If more than one person is appointed as Trustee of a
single Trust Fund, they shall act by majority vote; provided, however, that they
shall act by unanimous vote at any time when there are only two Trustees. In the
event there is more than one Trustee, the reference to Trustee shall be deemed
to refer to all the Trustees.

         14.02 Acceptance by Trustee: The Trustee shall accept its appointment
by executing a separate trust agreement in a form acceptable to the Trustee and
Employer. The provisions of the separate Trust Agreement shall control over
those in this Plan, to the extent such provisions define the duties of the
Trustee with respect to the Plan and Trust Fund. Prior to the effective date of
the Trust Agreement the provisions of the Prior Plan concerning the Trustee and
its duties shall apply.

         14.03 Provisions of Trust Agreement: The separate Trust Agreement shall
authorize and empower the Trustee to invest up to one hundred percent (100%) of
the Trust Fund allocated to the Employer Matching Contribution and Profit
Sharing Contribution Accounts in Employer Securities.

         14.04 Participant Voting Rights: The separate Trust Agreement shall
provide for voting Employer Securities by the Trustee only. The Trust Agreement
may permit voting direction from a committee established by the Plan Sponsor for
that purpose.

         14.05 Investment Committee: In the event of appointment of an
Investment Committee by the Plan Administrator, then except to the extent
responsibility for certain Plan assets has been allocated to an Investment
Manager as provided in Section 13.04, the Investment Committee is authorized and
empowered to direct investment of the Trust Fund, consistent with the terms of
the separate Trust Agreement. The Investment Committee shall direct investment
and reinvestment of the Trust Fund to keep the Trust Fund invested without
distinction between principal and income and in such securities or property,
real or personal, wherever situated, as the Committee shall deem advisable
consistent with the investment policy of the Plan established under Article
XVIII. The Committee shall give due regard to any limitations imposed by the
Code or ERISA so that at all times this Plan may qualify as a qualified Plan and
Trust.

         14.06 Liability for Plan Expenses: The Plan specifically permits the
payment of Plan administration and operation expenses from the Plan's Trust
Fund. Moreover, the Plan also permits the allocation of certain administration
expenses to an individual Participant's Account whenever an expense can be
specifically determined and the Participant's Account identified which gives
rise to the expense. Expenses not attributable to particular Participant
Accounts but nevertheless payable from the Trust Fund may be allocated among all
Participant Accounts pro rata, or by any other appropriate method. The Plan
Sponsor shall determine in its sole discretion the extent to which Plan
administration and operation expenses shall be paid from the Trust Fund or from
individual Participant Accounts, provided that all such payments and charges
shall comply with ERISA and all regulations and other guidance issued by the
Department of Labor. The Plan Sponsor shall be entitled to reimbursement from
the Plan for payment of all Plan expenses advanced by the Plan Sponsor (whether
charged to an individual Participant's Account or the Trust Fund as a whole)
that are reasonably subject to reimbursement pursuant to ERISA and DOL
regulations and other guidance, provided that no reimbursement to the Plan
Sponsor shall be made with respect to any charge applicable to an individual
Participant's Account unless the Participant has been previously

                                       68
<PAGE>

informed through a summary plan description or similar document that his or her
Account may be subject to such charges.

         14.07 Payment From the Trust Fund: At the direction of the Plan
Administrator, the Trustee shall, from time to time, in accordance with the
terms of the Plan, make payments out of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall not be
responsible in any way for the application of such payments.

records with respect to each Employee sufficient to enable the Plan
Administrator and Trustee to fulfill their duties and responsibilities under the
Plan.

         15.03 Bonding: The Plan Administrator shall procure bonding to insure
the Plan against risk of loss. The persons to be bonded and the amount necessary
shall be determined in accordance with ERISA and regulations thereunder. No
bonding shall be required pursuant to state law.

         15.04 Signature of Employer: All persons dealing with the Plan may rely
on any document executed in the name of the Plan Sponsor by its general partner
or by any other individual duly authorized by its Board of Directors, whether
retroactive or prospective.

         15.05 Plan Counsel and Expenses: The Plan Sponsor may engage the
service of any person or organization, including counsel, whose services, in the
opinion of the Plan Sponsor are necessary for the establishment or maintenance
of this Plan. The expenses incurred or charged by a person or organization
engaged by the Plan Sponsor pursuant to the previous sentence shall be paid by
the Plan Sponsor, or alternatively, the Plan Sponsor may direct the Trustee to
pay such expenses from the Trust Fund.

         15.06 Other Responsibilities: Nothing in this Article shall be
construed to limit the responsibilities or duties allocated to the Plan Sponsor
and FX Employers in other Articles of the Plan.

         15.07 Affiliated Groups:

         (a)      For purposes of crediting Hours of Service, all employees of
                  all members of an Affiliated Group of which an FX Employer is
                  also a member and all employees of any other entity required
                  to be aggregated with the FX Employer pursuant to regulations
                  under Code ss.414(o) shall be treated as employed by a single
                  Employer for purposes of Article III (Service), Article IV
                  (Eligibility), Article V (Contributions) and Article XI,
                  (Vesting). Except as provided in Section 7.01, all employees
                  of all members of an Affiliated Group and all employees of any
                  other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer
                  pursuant to regulations under Code ss.414(o) shall be treated
                  as employed by a single Employer.

         (b)      If the Employer is a member of an Affiliated Group and if the
                  Affiliated Group maintains more than one qualified retirement
                  plan that is integrated with Social Security, only a single
                  integration level shall be applicable to each Participant who
                  is a Participant in one or more integrated plans. The
                  integration level for each Participant shall be prorated in
                  each integrated plan in the ratio that the Annual Compensation
                  received by the Participant from the member of the Affiliated
                  Group maintaining the integrated plan bears to the Annual
                  Compensation received by the Participant from all members of
                  the Affiliated Group maintaining all such integrated plans.

                                       70
<PAGE>

         (c)      If more than one Employer has adopted this Plan and if all
                  such Employers are members of the same Affiliated Group the
                  "effective date" for any adopting Employer who adopts this
                  Plan on other than the Effective Date shall be the date
                  indicated in the adoption agreement by which the adopting
                  Employer shall first elect to be covered by this Plan.

         15.08 Employer Contributions: Each participating FX Employer shall
contribute to the Plan that Employer's share of Elective Deferral and Employer
Matching Contributions according to the elections of the Participants employed
by that Employer, as well as that Employer's share of Employer Profit Sharing

                            PLAN AMENDMENT OR MERGER

         16.01 Power to Amend: The Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator shall
each have the power to amend, alter, or wholly revise the Plan, prospectively or
retrospectively, at any time, and the interest of every Participant is subject
to the power so reserved. The Plan Administrator shall not exercise its power to
amend without consent of the Plan Sponsor unless the Plan Sponsor has ceased to
operate as a viable business entity or has filed or is subject to a petition
under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

         16.02 Limitations on Amendments: Upon execution of any amendment, the
Employer, Plan Administrator, Trustees, Participants and their Beneficiaries
shall be bound thereby; provided, however, that no amendment:

         (a)      Shall enlarge the duties or responsibilities of the Plan
                  Administrator or Trustee without its consent; or

         (b)      Shall cause any part of the assets contributed to the Plan to
                  be diverted to any use or purpose other than for the exclusive
                  benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries (including
                  the reasonable cost of administering the Plan) prior to the
                  satisfaction of all liabilities (fixed and contingent) under
                  the Plan to Participants and their Beneficiaries; or

         (c)      Shall reduce the vesting percentage of any Participant,
                  Inactive Participant, or Beneficiary; or

         (d)      Shall reduce or restrict the Account Balance of any
                  Participant, Inactive Participant or Beneficiary; or

         (e)      Shall eliminate an optional form of benefit, with respect to
                  benefits attributable to service before the amendment.

         Notwithstanding the above, any amendment may be made that may be or
become necessary in order that the Plan will conform to the requirements of Code
ss.401(a), or of any generally similar successor provision, or in order that all
of the provisions of the Plan will conform to all valid requirements of
applicable federal and state laws.

         16.03 Method of Amendment: If the Plan is amended by the Plan Sponsor,
the amendment shall be stated in an instrument in writing signed in the name of
the Plan Sponsor by a duly authorized corporate officer, or by any other
individual duly authorized by the Plan Sponsor, whether retroactive or
prospective. If the Plan is amended by the Plan Administrator, the amendment
shall be stated in an instrument in writing signed in the name of the Plan
Administrator by the individual duly authorized by the Plan Administrator for
that purpose, whether retroactive or prospective.

         16.04 Notice of Amendment: Written notice of each amendment shall be
given promptly by the Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator to each other, to
any other Employers and the Trustee.

         16.05 Merger or Consolidation: This Plan and Trust may be merged or
consolidated with, or its assets or liabilities may be transferred to, any other
plan only if the benefits that would be

                                       72
<PAGE>

received by each Participant of this Plan, in the event of a termination of the
Plan immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer, are at least
equal to the benefits the Participant would have received if the Plan had
terminated immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer. The Trustee
possesses the specific authority to enter into merger agreements or direct
transfer of assets agreements with the Trustees of other retirement plans
described in Code ss.401(a) and to accept the direct transfer of Plan assets, or
to transfer Plan assets, as a party to any such agreement.

         The Trustee may accept a direct transfer of Plan assets on behalf of an
Employee prior to the date the Employee satisfies the Plan's eligibility
condition(s). If the Trustee accepts such a direct transfer of Plan assets, the
Plan Administrator and Trustee shall treat the Employee as a Participant for all
purposes of the Plan except the Employee may not make Elective Deferral
contributions under Article V nor shall the Employee share in Employer
contributions or Participant forfeitures under Article VI until he actually
becomes a Participant in the Plan and satisfies the Plan's benefit accrual
requirements.

         The Trustee shall hold, administer and distribute the transferred
assets as a part of the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall maintain a separate
Predecessor Plan Account for the benefit of the Employee on whose behalf the
Trustee accepted the transfer in order to reflect the value of the transferred
assets.

                 TERMINATION OR DISCONTINUANCE OF CONTRIBUTIONS

         17.01 Right to Terminate: The Plan Sponsor may terminate the Plan at
any time by appropriate corporate action specifying the termination date. The
Plan Sponsor shall promptly notify the Plan Administrator, Trustee and any other
Employers of such action. Further, the Plan Sponsor shall notify all
Participants and Inactive Participants of such action, and shall file all
required reports with Federal agencies, in accordance with applicable
regulations.

         17.02 Effect of Termination: In the event of a Plan termination or a
complete discontinuance of Employer Contributions, the rights of all affected
Participants to their Accrued Benefits as of the date of such termination shall
be fully vested and shall not thereafter be subject to forfeiture, except to the
extent that law or regulation may preclude such vesting in order to prohibit
discrimination in favor of officers, shareholders, or highly compensated
Employees. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Participant who has
terminated employment with the Employer and incurred five consecutive One Year
Breaks in Service as of the termination date shall not be considered to be
affected by such Plan termination, and shall be vested in his/her Accrued
Benefit only to the extent provided in the other applicable Articles of this
Plan. All rights of Participants in this Plan affecting Employer Securities held
in trust for the benefit of Participants shall continue notwithstanding any Plan
termination.

         17.03 Manner of Distribution: In the event of a Plan termination, the
Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to distribute the Accrued Benefits
of all Participants, Inactive Participants, and Beneficiaries in accordance with
Article IX or Article XI.

         Notwithstanding the above, no payment shall be made to a Participant
from his/her Participant Elective Deferral Account (or any other Account the
contributions to which have been included in the Deferral Account for the
Participant) unless or until such time as the Participant:

         (a)      Is eligible for Retirement or Disability Benefits as provided
                  in Article IX;

         (b)      Dies;

         (c)      Separates from the service of the Employer (after December 31,
                  2001, incurs a severance from employment);

         (d)      Attains the Age of fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2); or

         (e)      Incurs a Financial Hardship.

         All Elective Deferral Accounts shall be maintained by the Trustee and
distributed at such time and in such manner as previously provided herein.
Alternatively, the balance in such Accounts may be transferred to another plan
maintained or established by the Employer that qualifies under Code ss.401(a) as
provided above, but only if such other plan contains the same restrictions on
the distribution of such transferred amounts as described in the preceding
paragraph.

         17.04 No Reversion: No termination or amendment of this Plan and Trust
and no other action shall divert any part of the funds to any purpose other than
the exclusive benefit of Participants, Inactive Participants or their
Beneficiaries except, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to
the contrary, any amount held in an unallocated suspense account that

                                       74
<PAGE>

cannot be allocated to any Participant due to the limitations of Article VII may
be returned to the Employer upon termination of the Plan.

         17.05 Termination of an Employer: An Employer, other than the Plan
Sponsor, may terminate its participation in the Plan at any time by a written
resolution by the Board of Directors specifying the termination date. The
Employer shall promptly notify the Plan Sponsor, Plan Administrator and Trustee
of any such action or direction. The participation of an Employer in the Plan
shall also terminate in the event of a complete discontinuance of contributions
by such Employer.

         17.06 Partial Termination: A partial termination of the Plan may be
deemed to have occurred if a significant percentage of Participants are excluded
from coverage by reason of amendment of the Plan, severance by an Employer or
termination of an Employer, or if the Plan is amended to adversely affect the
rights of employees to vest in benefits under the Plan or to reduce or eliminate
future benefit accruals under the Plan. The determination of whether a partial
termination has occurred shall be made on the basis of the facts and
circumstances in a particular case.

         17.07 Effect of Partial Termination: In the event of a partial
termination of the Plan, the provisions of Section 17.02 shall apply to those
Participants affected by the partial termination.

                                  ARTICLE XVIII
                        FUNDING POLICY FOR PLAN BENEFITS

         18.01 Funding Method: The benefits provided by this Plan shall be
funded by contributions of the Employer and Participants. Employer Matching
Contributions and Employer Profit Sharing Contributions may consist entirely of
Employer Securities. Elective Deferrals shall be made in cash only. The amount
of all Employer Contributions shall be determined as provided in this Plan. The
amount of all other contributions shall likewise be determined as provided in
this Plan.

         18.02 Investment Policy: This Plan has been established for the sole
purpose of providing benefits to the Participants and their Beneficiaries. In
determining investment directions and investment options available hereunder,
the Plan Administrator shall establish a funding policy that considers the short
and long-range needs of the Plan based on the evident and probable requirements
of the Plan as to the time benefits shall be payable and the requirements
therefor. Benefits may be provided through any combination of investment media
designed to provide the requisite liquidity, growth and security appropriate to
this Plan.

         Benefits for Participants, to the extent not funded through Employer
Securities, may be provided through any investment media offered by the Trustee
or through the purchase of shares in any investment company regulated under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, or through any investment proper and appropriate
to be made by the Trustee in accordance with Article XIV, or through any
combination of such investments.

         The Plan may not obligate itself to acquire Employer Securities from a
particular holder thereof at any indefinite time determined upon the happening
of an event such as the death of the holder.

         The Plan may not obligate itself to acquire Employer Securities under a
put option binding upon the Plan. However, at the time a put option is
exercised, the Plan may be given an option to assume the rights and obligations
of the Employer under a put option binding upon the Employer.

         All purchases of Employer Securities shall be made at a price which, in
the judgment of the Plan Administrator, does not exceed the fair market value
thereof. All sales of Employer Securities shall be made at a price which, in the
judgment of the Plan Administrator, is not less than the fair market value
thereof.

         18.03 No Purchase of Life Insurance Contracts: Unless authorized by the
Plan Sponsor pursuant to amendment to this Article XVIII, no insurance contracts
shall be purchased by the Trustee on the life of any Participant.

         18.04 Investment Fund: The Employer shall contribute to an Investment
Fund that shall be established by the Trustee to provide such additional
benefits, in addition to the proceeds or surrender values of any allocated
annuity contracts, for Participants and their Beneficiaries provided by this
Plan.

         18.05 Non-transferability of Annuity Contracts: In the event the assets
of the Trust Fund include allocated annuity contracts, all incidents of
ownership in such contracts may be exercised by the Trustee, as directed by the
Plan Administrator, except to the extent any death benefits payable thereunder
may be paid to the Beneficiary designated by the Participant. All such contracts
shall provide that the owner may not change the ownership of the contract, nor
may it be sold, assigned

                                       76
<PAGE>

or pledged as collateral for a loan, as security for the performance of an
obligation, or for any other purpose to anyone. No annuity contract may be
delivered to a Participant as a distribution from the Plan.

         18.06 Participant Directed Investments: In the sole discretion of the
Plan Administrator a Participant, Inactive Participant or Beneficiary may be
allowed to direct the Trustee to invest all or part of the General Investments
Account hereunder in such specific assets as are permitted under the terms of
the Trust Agreement. However, the Participant may not direct the Trustee to use
any portion of his/her General Investments Account to acquire any property that
would be classified as a "collectible" and result in the investment being
considered a distribution to the Participant under Code ss.408(m) and
Regulations thereunder. That portion of the General Investments Account so
directed shall be credited (charged) solely with all investment earnings
(losses) and appreciation (depreciation) thereon, and charged with any fees or
expenses incurred by the Trustee in investing or administering that portion of
the Account. The portion so directed shall also be credited with any
contributions thereto and charged with any withdrawals or payments made
therefrom.

         Any portion of the General Investments Account, the investment of which
is not directed by the Participant, shall be commingled and invested with other
Trust assets. That portion shall be credited (charged) with its proportionate
share of investment earnings (losses) and appreciation (depreciation) on the
total non-directed assets of the Trust Fund, and charged with any specific or
proportionate share of expenses incurred by the Trustee in investing or
administering that portion of the Account as provided in Section 6.03. The
non-directed portion shall also be credited with any contributions thereto and
charged with any withdrawals or payments therefrom.

         For purposes of Section 6.03, any transfers from the non-directed
portion of the General Investments Account to the directed portion of the
General Investments Account shall be treated as a withdrawal from the
non-directed portion and a contribution to the directed portion, and vice versa
for transfers from the directed portion to the non-directed portion.

         The Plan Administrator and Trustee may establish a reasonable policy
regarding the types of Accounts eligible, minimum balance required, and other
reasonable criteria that must be satisfied in determining whether this option of
directed investments shall be available to a Participant. The policy shall be in
writing and shall be administered in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner.

         18.07 Establishment of Separate Funds: There is hereby reserved to the
Plan Administrator the right to direct the Trustee to establish separate
investment funds within the General Investments Account. The Plan Administrator
may follow different investment policies with respect to each investment fund so
established. In the sole discretion of the Sponsoring Employer a Participant,
Inactive Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee shall be allowed to direct
the Trustee to invest the amounts in his/her General Investments Account,
consistent with the rules in this Section 18.07, in any or all of the investment
Funds. The following administrative rules shall apply if such Funds are
established:

         (a)      Income, gains and losses from each investment fund will be
                  reinvested in the same fund and credited only to the General
                  Investments Accounts of those Participants who have a balance
                  in such fund, in a manner consistent with Section 6.03.

         (b)      Each Participant shall be entitled to direct the portion of
                  the contributions made to his/her General Investments Account
                  that are to be invested in each of the investment funds
                  available. Upon the occurrence of any event or decision of the
                  Plan Administrator that results in the deletion of any of the
                  investment funds, that replaces

                                       77
<PAGE>

                  any such fund with another fund, or that adds a new investment
                  fund, the Plan Administrator shall designate a default
                  investment fund or funds into which contributions on behalf of
                  a Participant shall be invested in the event no specific
                  direction for investment is made by the Participant. The Plan
                  Administrator shall designate a default investment fund for
                  any Participant or Beneficiary (including any Beneficiary by
                  virtue of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order) who does not
                  provide for investment instructions with respect to his/her
                  General Investments Account into any investment fund under
                  this Section or Section 18.06.

         (c)      Each Participant shall have the right to change the portion of
                  succeeding contributions to be invested in each investment
                  fund and the right to direct that the asset balance or any
                  portion thereof in any investment funds in his/her General
                  Investments Account be liquidated and the proceeds thereof
                  transferred to any other investment fund. Changes in fund
                  investments pursuant to Participant direction shall be made
                  effective as provided under procedures negotiated between the
                  Plan and the Trustee, which procedures may include daily
                  movement of General Investments Account funds between
                  investment funds, provided valuation of the investment funds
                  is also conducted daily.

         (d)      The Plan Administrator may establish reasonable rules
                  regarding:

                  (1)      The maximum number of investment funds that may be
                           utilized by an individual Participant or by an
                           individual Account.

                  (2)      The minimum, maximum and incremental percentages of
                           contributions that may be invested in a particular
                           investment fund.

                  (3)      The minimum, maximum and incremental percentages of
                           the current balance in the General Investments
                           Account in any investment fund that may be
                           transferred to another fund.

                  These rules shall be in writing and shall be administered in a
                  uniform and non- discriminatory manner.

         (e) A Participant may not direct investment into or from the Employer
         Securities Account nor may a Participant direct investment from his/her
         General Investments Account into the Employer Securities Account or the
         liquidation or sale of any Employer Securities in the Employer
         Securities Account.

                           Group of plans and the Top- Heavy Ratio for the
                           Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds sixty percent
                           (60%).

         (k)      "Top Heavy Average Monthly Compensation" shall mean
                  one-twelfth (1/12th) of the average of a Participant's
                  Top-Heavy Compensation during the five (5) consecutive Plan
                  Years (or the total number of such years of the Participant's
                  employment, if less than five (5)) that produces the highest
                  average, but taking into account only Top-Heavy Compensation
                  for years that this Plan was Top-Heavy and any years preceding
                  a year that this Plan was Top-Heavy.

         (l)      "Top-Heavy Compensation" shall have the same meaning as the
                  term "Compensation" defined in Section 7.01(b), but effective
                  for Plan Years commencing after December 31, 1997, shall
                  include contributions made by the Employer to a plan of
                  deferred compensation otherwise excluded in Section 7.01(b).
                  Top Heavy Compensation includes all Compensation paid for the
                  Limitation Year without regard to when the Participant
                  commenced participation in the Plan.

         (m)      "Top-Heavy Ratio" shall mean and be determined as follows:

                  (1)      If the Employer maintains one or more defined
                           contribution plans (including any simplified employee
                           pension plan) and the Employer has never maintained
                           any defined benefit plan that has covered or could
                           cover a Participant in this Plan, the Top-Heavy Ratio
                           is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of
                           the account balances of all Key Employees as of the
                           Determination Date and the denominator of which is
                           the sum of all account balances of all Participants
                           as of the Determination Date. Both the numerator and
                           denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio shall be adjusted
                           to reflect any part of any account balance
                           distributed in the five (5) year period ending on the
                           Determination Date and any contribution that is due
                           but unpaid as of the Determination Date. In the case
                           of a defined contribution plan that is not subject to
                           Code ss.412, the adjustment for contributions due but
                           unpaid is generally the amount of any contributions
                           actually made after the Top-Heavy Valuation Date but
                           on or before the Determination Date; however, for the
                           first plan year of such a plan, the adjustment shall
                           also reflect the amount of any contributions made
                           after the Top-Heavy Valuation Date that are allocated
                           as of a date in that first plan year. In the case of
                           a defined contribution plan that is subject to Code
                           ss.412, the account balances shall include
                           contributions that would be allocated as of a date
                           not later than the Determination Date, even though
                           those amounts are not yet required to be contributed;
                           furthermore, the adjustment for contributions due but
                           unpaid shall reflect the amount of any contribution
                           actually made (or due to be made) after the Top-
                           Heavy Valuation Date but before the expiration date
                           of the extended payment period in Code ss.412(c)(10).

                  (2)      If the Employer maintains one or more defined
                           contribution plans (including any simplified employee
                           pension plan) and the Employer maintains or has
                           maintained one or more defined benefit plans that
                           have covered or could cover a Participant in this
                           Plan, the Top-Heavy Ratio is a fraction, the
                           numerator of which is the sum of account balances
                           under the defined contribution plans for all Key
                           Employees and the Present Value of accrued benefits
                           under the defined benefit plans for all Key
                           Employees, and the denominator of which is the sum of
                           the account balances under the defined contribution
                           plans for all Participants and the Present Value of
                           accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for
                           all Participants. Both the numerator and denominator
                           of the Top-Heavy Ratio are adjusted for any part of
                           any account balance or accrued benefit distributed in
                           the five (5) year period ending on the Determination
                           Date and any contribution to a defined contribution
                           plan due but unpaid as of the Determination Date. In
                           the case of a defined contribution plan that is not
                           subject to Code ss.412, the adjustment for
                           contributions due but unpaid is generally the amount
                           of any contributions actually made after the
                           Top-Heavy Valuation Date but on or before the
                           Determination Date; however, for the first plan year
                           of such a plan, the adjustment shall also reflect the
                           amount of any contributions made after the Top-Heavy
                           Valuation Date that are allocated as of a date in
                           that first plan year. In the case of a defined
                           contribution plan that is subject to Code ss.412, the
                           account balances shall include contributions that
                           would be allocated as of a date not later than the
                           Determination Date, even though those amounts are not
                           yet required to be contributed; furthermore, the
                           adjustment for contributions due but unpaid shall
                           reflect the amount of any contribution actually made
                           (or due to be made) after the Top-Heavy Valuation
                           Date but before the expiration date of the extended
                           payment period in Code ss.412(c)(10).

                  (3)      For purposes of (1) and (2) above, the value of
                           account balances and the Present Value of accrued
                           benefits shall be determined as of the most recent
                           Top-Heavy Valuation Date that falls within or ends
                           with the twelve month period ending on the
                           Determination Date. The account balances and accrued
                           benefits of a Participant who is not a Key Employee
                           but who was a Key Employee in a prior year shall be
                           disregarded. For Plan Years beginning after December
                           31, 1984, the account balances and accrued benefits
                           of any Participant who has not performed any service
                           for the Employer at any time during the five (5) year
                           period ending on the Determination Date shall be
                           disregarded. In the case of a defined benefit plan,
                           the Present Value of Accrued Benefits shall not
                           reflect any proportional subsidies and shall reflect
                           any non-proportional subsidies provided by the plan.
                           The calculations of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the
                           extent to which distributions, rollovers and
                           transfers are taken into account shall be made in
                           accordance with Code ss.416 and the Regulations
                           thereunder. In the case of unrelated rollovers and
                           transfers: (1) the plan making the distribution or
                           transfer shall count the distribution as part of an
                           accrued benefit distributed; and (2) the plan
                           accepting the rollover or transfer shall not consider
                           the rollover or transfer as part of the accrued
                           benefit if such rollover or transfer was accepted
                           after December 31, 1983, and shall consider the
                           rollover or transfer as part of the

                                       82
<PAGE>

                           accrued benefit if such rollover or transfer was
                           accepted prior to January 1, 1984. In the case of
                           related rollovers and transfers, the plan making the
                           distribution or transfer shall not count the
                           distribution or transfer as part of an accrued
                           benefit distributed, and the plan accepting the
                           rollover or transfer shall count the rollover or
                           transfer as part of the accrued benefit. Deductible
                           employee contributions shall not be taken into
                           account for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy
                           Ratio. When aggregating plans, the value of account
                           balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with
                           reference to the Determination Dates that fall within
                           the same calendar year.

                           For purposes of the above, a Participant's Accrued
                           Benefit in a defined benefit plan shall be determined
                           under a uniform accrual method that applies for all
                           defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer or,
                           if there is no such method, under the method
                           described in Code ss.411(b)(1)(C) that provides the
                           slowest rate of accrual.

         (n)      "Top-Heavy Valuation Date" shall mean the date as of which the
                  Present Value of accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan
                  or account balances under a defined contribution plan, that is
                  part of a Permissive Aggregation Group or Required Aggregation
                  Group, is determined for calculating the Top-Heavy Ratio. For
                  a defined benefit plan, such date shall be the same as the
                  actuarial valuation date used for computing plan costs under
                  Code ss.412, regardless of whether an actuarial valuation is
                  performed that year. For a defined contribution plan, such
                  date shall be the last day of the plan year.

         19.03 Top-Heavy or Super Top-Heavy Minimum Required Allocation: For any
Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy or Super Top-Heavy:

         (a)      Except as otherwise provided below, the Employer contributions
                  and forfeitures allocated on behalf of any Participant who is
                  a Non-Key Employee shall not be less than the lesser of:

                  (1)      three percent (3%) of such Participant's Top-Heavy
                           Compensation if the Plan is Top-Heavy and five
                           percent (5%) of such Participant's Top-Heavy
                           Compensation if the Plan is Super Top-Heavy; or

                  (2)      In the case where the Employer has no defined benefit
                           plan that designates this Plan to satisfy Code
                           ss.ss.401 and 416(c), the largest percentage of
                           Employer contributions and forfeitures, as a
                           percentage of the first Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
                           ($200,000), (or such larger amount as may be
                           prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or
                           his/her delegate) of the Key Employee's Top-Heavy
                           Compensation, allocated on behalf of any Key Employee
                           for that year. In calculating this percentage all
                           amounts contributed by the Employer to the Key
                           Employee's Elective Deferral Account pursuant to a
                           Salary Reduction Agreement shall be treated as
                           Employer contributions. For Plan Years beginning
                           after December 31, 1993, the Plan shall substitute
                           the amount "One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
                           ($150,000)" for the amount "Two Hundred Thousand
                           Dollars ($200,000)" wherever it appears in this
                           Section. The $150,000 amount shall be adjusted each
                           Plan Year as provided in Code ss.401(a)(17)(B).

         (b)      The minimum allocation shall be determined without regard to
                  any Social Security contribution by the Employer. This minimum
                  allocation shall be made even though, under other Plan
                  provisions, the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to
                  receive an allocation, or would have received a lesser
                  allocation for the Plan Year because of:

                  (1)      The Participant's failure to complete one thousand
                           (1000) Hours of Service (or any equivalent provided
                           in the Plan);

                  (2)      The Participant's failure to make mandatory employee
                           contributions to the Plan;

                  (3)      Compensation less than a stated amount;

                  (4)      The Employer having no Net Profits; or

                  (5)      In the case of a plan qualified under Code ss.401(k),
                           the Participant's failure to make elective
                           contributions to such plan.

                  If a Participant is required to receive a minimum allocation
                  under this subsection and such amount exceeds the amount that
                  the Participant would receive under other Plan provisions, the
                  Employer shall make an additional contribution for such
                  Participant. Such additional contribution shall be allocated
                  to the Employer Contribution Account of such Participant in
                  the same manner as regular Employer contributions, pursuant to
                  Article VII.

         (c)      The provisions in subsections (a) and (b) above shall not
                  apply to any Participant who was not employed by the Employer
                  on the last day of the Plan Year.

         (d)      The provisions in subsections (a) and (b) above shall not
                  apply to a Participant if such Participant is covered under a
                  defined contribution plan designated by the Employer to
                  provide the Top-Heavy minimum benefits, and such Participant
                  receives an allocation of Employer contributions and
                  forfeitures under that plan during the subject Plan Year that
                  is at least as great as the amount otherwise required under
                  (a) and (b) above. If the amount of Employer contributions and
                  forfeitures allocated to such a Participant under that plan
                  during the subject Plan Year is less than the amount required
                  under (a) and (b) above, the amount otherwise required under
                  (a) and (b) above shall be reduced by the amount so allocated
                  under that plan.

         19.04 Non-forfeitability of Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation: The minimum
allocation of Employer contributions or forfeitures required under Sections
19.03 or 19.04 (to the extent required to be non-forfeitable under Code
ss.416(b)) shall not be forfeited in the case of a suspension of benefits under
Code ss.411(a)(3)(B) or a withdrawal of mandatory employee contributions under
Code ss.411(a)(3)(D).

         19.05 Top Heavy Compensation Limitation: For any Plan Year in which the
Plan is Top- Heavy, only the first One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($150,000), (or such larger amount as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury or his/her delegate), of a Participant's Top-Heavy Compensation shall
be taken into account for purposes of this Plan. The one hundred fifty thousand
dollar amount shall be adjusted each Plan Year as provided in Code
ss.401(a)(17)(B).

                                       84
<PAGE>

         Effective for Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 2002,
Annual Compensation of each Participant taken into account under this Article
XIX shall not exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), as adjusted for
cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code ss.401(a)(17)(B). The
cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to Annual
Compensation for the Plan Year that begins with or within such calendar year.

         19.06 Minimum Vesting Provision: For any Plan Year in which this Plan
is Top-Heavy, the vesting schedule under Section 11.01 shall automatically apply
to each Participant in the Plan. This vesting schedule applies to all accrued
benefits within the meaning of Code ss.411(a)(7), except those attributable to
employee contributions, including benefits accrued before the effective date of
Code ss.416 and benefits accrued before the Plan became Top-Heavy. Further, no
reduction in vested benefits may occur in the event the Plan's status as
Top-Heavy changes for any Plan Year and any change in the Plan's vesting
schedule due to a change in Top-Heavy status shall be subject to the provision
of Section 11.10. However, this Section does not apply to the Accrued Benefit of
any Employee who does not have an Hour of Service after the Plan has initially
become Top Heavy; such Employee's Vested Interest attributable to Employer
contributions and forfeitures shall be determined without regard to this
Section.

         19.07 Adjustments to Limitations: For any Plan Year in which the Plan
is Top-Heavy, the following adjustments shall be made to the denominators of the
Defined Benefit Fraction and Defined Contribution Fraction as defined in Section
7.01.

         (a)      Super Top-Heavy: In any Plan Year in which the Plan is Super
                  Top-Heavy the denominators shall be computed by substituting
                  "one hundred percent (100%)" for "one hundred twenty-five
                  percent (125%)" each place it appears in such definitions.

         (b)      Not Super Top-Heavy: In any Plan Year in which the Plan is
                  Top-Heavy but not Super Top-Heavy the denominators shall be
                  computed by substituting "one hundred percent (100%)" for "one
                  hundred twenty-five percent (125%)" each place it appears in
                  such definitions.

         19.08 Participant Elective Deferrals: Elective Deferrals shall not be
taken into account in determining under Section 19.03(b) the amount of Employer
contributions to be allocated to a Participant who is a Non-key Employee.

         19.09 EGTRRA Modification of Top-Heavy Rules: Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article XIX, this section shall apply for purposes of
determining whether the Plan is a top- heavy plan under Code ss.416(g) for Plan
Years beginning after December 31, 2001, and whether the Plan satisfies the
minimum benefits requirements of Code ss.416(c) for such years.

         (a)      Determination of top-heavy status/key employee. Key employee
                  means any Employee or Former Employee (including any deceased
                  Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes
                  the determination date was an officer of the Employer having
                  Annual Compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under
                  Code ss.416(i)(1)for Plan Years beginning after December 31,
                  2002), a 5-percent owner of the Employer, or a 1-percent owner
                  of the Employer having annual compensation of more than
                  $150,000. For this purpose, Annual Compensation means
                  Compensation within the meaning of Section 7.01(b). The
                  determination of who is a key employee will be made in
                  accordance with Code 416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations
                  and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

                                       85
<PAGE>

         (b)      Determination of present values and amounts. This subsection
                  shall apply for purposes of determining the present values of
                  Accrued Benefits and the amounts of Account balances of
                  Employees as of the determination date.

                  (1)      Distributions during year ending on the determination
                           date. The present values of Accrued Benefits and the
                           amounts of Account balances of an employee as of the
                           determination date shall be increased by the
                           distributions made with respect to the Employee under
                           the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under
                           Code ss.416(g)(2) during the 1-year period ending on
                           the determination date. The preceding sentence shall
                           also apply to distributions under a terminated plan
                           which, had it not been terminated, would have been
                           aggregated with the Plan under Code
                           ss.416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution
                           made for a reason other than separation from service,
                           death, or disability, this provision shall be applied
                           by substituting "5-year period" for "1-year period."

                  (2)      Employees not performing services during year ending
                           on the determination date. The Accrued Benefits and
                           Accounts of any individual who has not performed
                           services for the Employer during the 1-year period
                           ending on the determination date shall not be taken
                           into account.

         (c)      Minimum benefits.

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

                  (2)      Contributions under other plans. The minimum benefit
                           requirement of this Section 19.10 shall be met
                           through contributions to this Plan regardless of
                           whether the Employer maintains any other plan
                           (including another plan that may consist solely of a
                           cash or deferred arrangement that meets the
                           requirements of Code ss.401(k)(12) and matching
                           contributions with respect to which the requirements
                           of Code ss.401(m)(11) are met).

                                   ARTICLE XX
                          PROVISIONS AFFECTING BENEFITS

         20.01 Availability of Loans: Upon acceptance of an application by a
Participant who is an active Employee, the Plan Administrator shall direct the
Trustee to make a loan to the Participant from his/her Plan Accounts (including
any Rollover Accounts but excluding his/her Employer Securities Account),
subject to the provisions of this Article. In considering a Participant's
application for a loan, the Plan Administrator shall base its decision whether
to grant a loan on a uniform and non-discriminatory policy, without regard to
the race, color, religion, sex, age or national origin of the applicant.

         20.02 Loan Administration: The Plan Sponsor shall prepare and adopt a
written Participant Loan Administration Policy Statement, whose provisions shall
be made part of this Plan. The Policy Statement shall set forth:

         (a)      the identity of the person or persons authorized to administer
                  the loan program;

         (b)      the procedure for applying for a loan;

         (c)      the basis on which loans will be approved or denied;

         (d)      limitations, if any, on the types and amounts of loans
                  offered;

         (e)      the procedure for determining a reasonable rate of interest;

         (f)      the types of collateral that may secure a loan; and

         (g)      the events constituting default and the steps to be taken to
                  preserve plan assets in the event of a default.

         20.03 Amount of Loan: The amount of any loan to a Participant when
added to the outstanding balance of any previous loans made to him pursuant to
this Article or under any other qualified plan maintained by the Employer, shall
not exceed the least of:

         (a)      Fifty percent (50%) of the Vested Interest in his/her Plan
                  Accounts (including, for calculation purposes, any Rollover
                  Accounts and Employer Securities Account); or

         (b)      $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of:

                  (1)      the highest outstanding balance of loans from the
                           plan during the 1-year period ending on the day
                           before the date on which such loan was made, over

                  (2)      the outstanding balance of loans from the plan on the
                           date on which such loan was made, or

         (c)      The total amount of the Vested Interest in his/her Plan
                  Accounts, exclusive of the Vested Interest in his/her Employer
                  Securities Account.

         20.04 Collateral Requirements: Any loan to a Participant shall be
secured solely by the balance in his/her Plan Account (including any Rollover
Account, but excluding his/her Employer

                                       87
<PAGE>

Securities Account). In the event of default on the loan, however, foreclosure
and attachment of such security shall not occur until a distributable event
occurs under the Plan.

         20.05 Loan Terms: Any loan made to a Participant by the Trustee shall
be evidenced by a promissory note of the Participant drawn in favor of the
Trust. Such note shall bear a reasonable rate of interest and shall be amortized
in level installments payable at least quarterly within a specified period of
time not to exceed five (5) years, unless such loan is used to acquire a
dwelling unit which, within a reasonable period of time (determined at the time
the loan is made), will be used as the principal residence of the Participant or
Beneficiary, in which case the specified period of time shall not exceed ten
(10) years.

         20.06 Accounting for Loans: Any loan to a Participant pursuant to this
Article shall be treated as a directed investment of his/her Participant
Accounts (excluding his/her Rollover Account and his/her Employer Securities
Account). For purposes of allocating income in the General Investments Account
of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 6.03, the balance in his/her General
Investments Account shall be treated as equal to the actual balance in the
Accounts minus the outstanding balance of any loans. Furthermore, for purposes
of Section 6.03, repayments of principal and interest on such loan shall be
treated as deposits to the adjusted balance (determined pursuant to the
preceding sentence) of his/her General Investments Account.

         20.07 Effect of Termination of Employment or Plan: If a Participant
terminates employment with the Employer for any reason, the outstanding balance
of any loans made to him shall become fully payable no later than ninety (90)
days following his/her termination of employment or, if earlier, on his/her
Distribution Date. In the event of a termination of the Plan, any outstanding
loans shall be due and fully payable within ninety (90) days of the effective
date of such termination, or the date the Participant or Beneficiary is notified
of such termination. If the Participant or Beneficiary has not fully repaid any
loan as of the date full payment is due, any unpaid balance shall be deducted
from his/her Vested Accrued Benefit prior to determining the amount of any
immediate or deferred benefit payable to the Participant or Beneficiary, his/her
spouse or his/her Beneficiary and applied toward repayment of the loan.

         20.08 Spousal Consent: No loan shall be made to a Participant unless
the Participant consents to the loan and acknowledges the possible reduction in
Plan benefits that would occur in the event of default on the loan. No spousal
consent shall be required for any loan as long as no portion of the
Participant's Accrued Benefit may be distributed from the Plan in the form of an
annuity. If any portion of the Participant's Accrued Benefit may be distributed
in the form of an annuity, then no loan shall be made to that Participant unless
the Participant and his/her spouse (if any) consent to such loan and acknowledge
the possible reduction in Plan benefits that would occur in the event of default
on the loan. Such consent and acknowledgment shall be provided in writing no
earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the making of the loan and witnessed by
the Plan Administrator (or representative thereof) or a notary public. In the
event of the renegotiation, extension, renewal or other revision of the loan, a
new spousal consent shall be required.

         20.09 Anti-Alienation: Except as specifically provided in Sections
20.04 and 20.10, no benefit that shall be payable out of the Trust Fund to any
person (including a Participant, Inactive Participant or Beneficiary) shall be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void. No benefit
shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person, nor shall it be subject to
attachment or legal process for or against person, and the same shall not be
recognized by the Trustee, except to such extent as may be required by law.

         20.10 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders: Section 20.09 shall apply to
the creation, assignment, or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with
respect to a Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to a
Domestic Relations Order, unless such Domestic Relations Order is determined to
be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order ("QDRO"). In the event the Plan, the
Trustee, or the Plan Administrator receives a Domestic Relations Order, the Plan
Administrator shall promptly notify the Participant, Former Participant or
Beneficiary whose benefit is the subject of such order and provide him with a
copy of the Plan's written procedures for administering QDROs. Unless and until
the order is set aside, the following provisions shall apply:

         (a)      The Plan Administrator shall establish reasonable procedures
                  to determine whether an order received by it or the Trustee is
                  a QDRO and to administer distributions pursuant to said order.
                  The procedures shall set forth all rules to be applied by the
                  Plan for notice to affected parties, suspension of Account
                  activity, including distributions, investment direction and
                  participant loans, and payment of benefits based upon the QDRO
                  or the failure of the Domestic Relations Order to be a QDRO.

         (b)      The Plan Administrator shall within a reasonable time
                  determine whether the order is a QDRO and shall notify the
                  Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary whose benefit
                  is the subject of the order, of its determination. The Plan
                  Administrator may designate a representative to carry out its
                  duties under this Section 20.10.

         (c)      Nothing in this Section 20.10 shall be deemed to allow payment
                  under a QDRO to an Alternate Payee of any benefit prior to the
                  first day of the month following the date the Participant or
                  Former Participant whose benefits are subject to the QDRO
                  terminates employment or attains Age fifty (50), unless (i)
                  earlier distribution is specifically provided under the terms
                  of the QDRO and (ii) if the value of the Alternate Payee's
                  benefit exceeds $5,000, the Alternate Payee consents to any
                  distribution occurring prior to the Participant's attainment
                  of earliest retirement age.

         20.11 QDRO Definitions: For purposes of Section 20.10 the following
definitions and rules shall apply:

         (a)      "Alternate Payee" shall mean any spouse, former spouse, child
                  or other dependent of a Participant or Former Participant who
                  is recognized by a QDRO as having a right to receive all, or a
                  portion of, the benefits payable under this Plan with respect
                  to the Participant or Former Participant.

         (b)      "Domestic Relations Order" shall mean any judgment, decree, or
                  order (including approval of a property settlement agreement)
                  which:

                  (1)      relates to the provision of child support, alimony
                           payments, or marital property rights to a spouse,
                           child, or other dependent of a Participant or Former
                           Participant and

                  (2)      is made pursuant to a state domestic relations law
                           (including a community property law).

         (c)      "Qualified Domestic Relations Order" shall mean any Domestic
                  Relations Order that satisfies the criteria set forth in the
                  QDRO procedures established by the Plan Administrator.

                          MULTIPLE EMPLOYER PROVISIONS

         21.01 Adoption by Other FX Employers: With the consent of the Plan
Sponsor and by a properly executed document evidencing the intent and will of
the adopting FX Employer, any other FX Employer may adopt this Plan and all of
the provisions hereof and participate herein and be known as a Participating FX
Employer.

         21.02 Requirements of Participating FX Employers:

         (a)      Each Participating FX Employer shall be required to use the
                  Trustee determined by the Plan Sponsor or Plan Administrator.

         (b)      The Trustee may, but shall not be required to, commingle, hold
                  and invest as one Trust Fund all contributions made by
                  Participating FX Employers, as well as all increments thereof.
                  The assets of the Plan shall, on an ongoing basis, be
                  available to pay benefits to all Participants and
                  Beneficiaries under the Plan without regard to the
                  Participating FX Employer who contributed such assets.

         (c)      The transfer of any Participant from or to an FX Employer
                  participating in this Plan, whether he is an Employee of the
                  Plan Sponsor or a Participating FX Employer, shall not affect
                  the Participant's rights under the Plan, and the Participant's
                  Accounts, as well as all accumulated service with the
                  transferor or predecessor, shall continue to his/her credit.

                  Employer or borne by the Trust Fund, including funding of
                  benefits, shall be paid by each Participating FX Employer in
                  the same proportion that the total amount of the Accounts
                  standing to the credit of all Participants employed by such FX
                  Employer bears to the total of the Accounts standing to the

         21.03 Designation of Agent: Each Participating FX Employer shall be
deemed to be a part of this Plan. With respect to all of its relations with the
Trustee and Plan Administrator for the purpose of this Plan, each Participating
FX Employer shall be deemed to have designated irrevocably the Plan Sponsor as
its agent. Unless the context of the Plan clearly indicates the contrary, the
word "Employer" shall be deemed to include each Participating FX Employer as
related to its adoption of the Plan.

         21.04 Employee Transfers: It is anticipated that an Employee may be
transferred between Participating FX Employers, and in the event of any
transfer, the Employee involved shall carry with him all of his/her accumulated
service and eligibility. No transfer shall effect a termination of employment
hereunder, and the Participating FX Employer to which the Employee is
transferred shall thereupon become obligated hereunder with respect to such
Employee in the same manner as was the Participating FX Employer from whom the
Employee was transferred.

         21.05 Amendment: The Plan Sponsor may amend this Plan at any time
without regard to whether there are Participating FX Employers hereunder. No
written action of a Participating FX Employer shall be required to validate an
amendment.

         21.06 Discontinuance of Participation: A Participating FX Employer
shall be permitted to discontinue or revoke its participation in the Plan. At
the time of any discontinuance or

                                       90
<PAGE>

revocation, satisfactory evidence thereof and of any applicable conditions
imposed shall be delivered to the Trustee. If so directed by the Plan
Administrator, the Trustee shall transfer, deliver and assign Contracts and
other Fund assets allocable to the Participants of such Participating FX
Employer to the new Trustee as shall have been designated by the Participating
FX Employer, in the event that it has established a separate pension plan for
its Employees. No such transfer shall be made if the result is the elimination
or reduction of any Code ss.411(d)(6) protected benefits. If no successor is
designated, the Trustee shall retain the assets for the Employees of the
Participating FX Employer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. In no event
shall any part of the corpus or income of the Trust as it relates to the
Participating FX Employer be used for or diverted for purposes other than for
the exclusive benefit of the Employees of the Participating FX Employer.

         21.07 Administrator's Authority: The Plan Administrator shall have
authority to make any and all necessary rules or regulations, binding upon all
Participating FX Employers and all Participants, to effectuate the purposes of
this Article.

         21.08 Participating Employer Contributions: All contributions made by a
Participating FX Employer, as provided for in this Plan, shall be determined
separately for each Participating FX Employer, and shall be allocated only among
Participants eligible to share who are Employees of the Participating FX
Employer making the contribution. The Administrator shall keep separate books
and records concerning the affairs of each Participating FX Employer hereunder
and as to the accounts and credits of the Employees of each Participating FX
Employer. The Trustee may, but need not, register participation agreements so as
to evidence that a particular Participating FX Employer is an interested
Employer hereunder. In the event of an Employee transfer from one Participating
FX Employer to another, the Employers shall immediately notify the
Administrator.

                                  ARTICLE XXII
                  REPURCHASE OF DISTRIBUTED EMPLOYER SECURITIES

         22.01 Put option: The Employer may, in its discretion, issue a "put
option" to a Participant in the event the Participant receives a distribution of
Employer Securities from the Trust that are not readily tradeable on an
established market. The put option will permit the Participant to sell the
Employer Securities to the Employer, at any time during two option periods, at a
price determined by the Employer under a fair valuation formula. The first put
option period runs for a period of at least 60 days commencing on the date of
distribution of Employer Securities to the Participant. The second put option
period runs for a period of at least 60 days commencing after the new
determination of the fair market value of Employer Securities by the Plan
Administrator and notice to the Participant of the new fair market value. If a
Participant (Beneficiary) exercises his/her put option, the Employer will
purchase the Employer Securities at fair market value upon the terms provided
under Section 22.04. The Employer may grant the Trust an option to assume the
Employer's rights and obligations at the time a Participant exercises an option
under this Section 22.01. No provision of this Section 22.01 (or of the Plan)
shall be interpreted to require the Plan or impose any obligation on the Plan to
acquire securities from a particular securities holder at an indefinite time
determined upon the happening of an event, such as the death of the holder.

         22.02 Restriction on Employer Securities: Except upon the prior written
consent of the Employer, no Participant (or Beneficiary) may sell, assign, give,
pledge, encumber, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Employer Securities now
owned or subsequently acquired by him without complying with the terms of this
Article XXII. If a Participant (or Beneficiary) pledges or encumbers any
Employer Securities without the required prior written consent, any security
holder's rights with respect to such Employer Securities are subordinate and
subject to the rights of the Employer. All certificates for Employer Securities
distributed pursuant to this Plan shall bear the following legend:

                  The shares represented by this certificate are transferable
                  only upon compliance with the terms of the FX Energy, Inc.
                  401(k) Stock Bonus Plan, as amended effective January 1, 2004,
                  which grants to FX Energy, Inc., a right of first refusal. A
                  copy of the Plan is on file in the office of the Company.

         22.03 Lifetime Transfer/Right of First Refusal: If any Participant (or
Beneficiary) who receives Employer Securities under this Plan desires to dispose
of any of his/her Employer Securities for any reason during his/her lifetime
(whether by sale, assignment, gift or any other method of transfer), he first
must offer the Employer Securities for sale to the Employer. The Plan
Administrator may require a Participant (or Beneficiary) entitled to a
distribution of Employer Securities to execute an appropriate stock transfer
agreement (evidencing the right of first refusal) prior to receiving a
certificate for Employer Securities.

         In the case of an offer by a third party, the offer to the Employer is
subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in Section 22.04, based on the
price equal to the fair market value per share and payable in accordance with
the terms of Section 22.04, unless the selling price and terms offered to the
Participant by the third party are more favorable to the Participant than the
selling price and terms of Section 22.04, in which event, the selling price and
terms of the offer of the third party apply. The Employer must give written
notice to the offering Participant of its acceptance of the Participant's offer
within fourteen (14) days after the Participant has given written notice to the
Employer or the Employer's rights under this Section 22.03 will lapse. The
Employer may grant the Trust the option to assume the Employer's rights and
obligations with respect to all or any part of the Employer Securities offered
to the Employer under this Section 22.03. The Trust is not under any

                                       92
<PAGE>

obligation at any time to purchase Employer Securities from any holder of
Employer Securities upon the happening of any event.

         22.04 Payment of Purchase Price: If the Employer (or the Trustee), at
the direction of the Plan Administrator exercises an option to purchase a
Participant's Employer Securities pursuant to an offer given under Section
22.03, the purchaser(s) must make payment in lump sum or, if the distribution to
the Participant (or to his/her Beneficiary) constitutes a Total Distribution, in
substantially equal installments over a period not exceeding five years, subject
to the Participant's election for a longer payment period than five years. A
"Total Distribution" to a Participant (or to a Beneficiary) is the distribution,
within one taxable year of the recipient, of the entire balance to the
Participant's credit under the Plan. In the case of a distribution that is not a
Total Distribution or that is a Total Distribution with respect to which the
purchaser(s) will make payment in lump sum, the purchaser(s) must pay the
Participant (or Beneficiary) the fair market value of the Employer Securities
repurchased no later than 30 days after the date the Participant (or
Beneficiary) exercises the put option. In the case of a Total Distribution with
respect to which the purchaser(s) will make installment payments, the
purchaser(s) must make the first installment payment no later than 30 days after
the Participant (or Beneficiary) exercises the put option. For installment
amounts not paid within 30 days of the exercise of the put option, the
purchaser(s) must evidence the balance of the purchase price by executing a
promissory note, delivered to the selling Participant at the Closing. The note
delivered at Closing must bear a reasonable rate of interest, determined as of
the Closing Date, and the purchaser(s) must provide adequate security. The note
must provide for equal annual installments with interest payable with each
installment, the first installment being due and payable one year after the
Closing Date. The note must further provide for acceleration in the event of 30
days' default of the payment on interest or principal and must grant to the
maker of the note the right to prepay the note in whole or in part at any time
or times without penalty; provided however, the purchaser(s) may not have the
right to make any prepayment during the calendar year or fiscal year of the
Participant (Beneficiary) in which the Closing Date occurs.

         22.05 Notice: A person has given Notice permitted or required under
this Article XXII when the person deposits the Notice in the United States mail,
first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the person entitled to the Notice at
the address currently listed for him in the records of the Advisory Committee.
Any person affected by this Article XXII has the obligation of notifying the
Plan Administrator of any change of address.

         22.06    Terms and Definitions:  For purposes of this Article XXII:

         (a)      "Fair market value" means the value of the Employer Securities
                  (i) determined as of the date of the exercise of an option if
                  the exercise is by a disqualified person, or (ii) in all other
                  cases, determined as of the most recent Accounting Date. The
                  Plan Administrator must determine fair market value of
                  Employer Securities for all purposes of the Plan by engaging
                  the services of an independent appraiser.

         (b)      "Notice" means any offer, acceptance of an offer, payment or
                  any other communication.

         (c)      "Beneficiary" includes the legal representative of a deceased
                  Participant.

         (d)      "Closing" means the place, date and time ("Closing Date") to
                  which the selling Participant (or his/her Beneficiary) and
                  purchaser may agree for purposes of a sale and purchase under
                  this Article XI, provided Closing must take place not later
                  than 30 days after the exercise of an offer under Section
                  22.01.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         23.01 Participant's Rights: This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute
a contract between the Employer and any Participant or to be a consideration or
an inducement for the employment of any Participant or Employee. Nothing
contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant or Employee the
right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the
right of the Employer to discharge any Participant or Employee at any time
regardless of the effect that such discharge shall have upon him as a
Participant of this Plan.

         23.02 Actions Consistent with Terms of Plan: All actions taken by the

consistent with ERISA and regulations thereunder, the Internal Revenue Code and
regulations thereunder, and, to the extent state law has not been preempted by
federal law, the laws of the State in which the Plan Sponsor has its principal
office. In case any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for
any reason, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions of the
Plan; but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had
never been included therein.

         23.05 Legal Action: In the event any claim, suit, or proceeding is
brought regarding the Trust and/or Plan established hereunder to which the
Trustee or the Plan Administrator may be a party, and such claim, suit, or

be entitled to be reimbursed from the Trust Fund for any and all costs,
attorney's fees, and other expenses pertaining thereto incurred by them for
which they shall have become liable.

         23.06 Gender and Number: Wherever any words are used herein in the

construed as though they were also used in the other form in all cases where
they would so apply.

         23.07 Uniformity: All provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted and

require such Participant, legal representative, Beneficiary, guardian or
committee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and
release thereof in such form as shall be determined by the Trustee or Employer.

         23.10 Payments to Minors, Incompetents: Effective for Plan Years
commencing on or after January 1, 1995, in the event the Plan Administrator must
direct a payment from the Plan to or for the benefit of any minor or incompetent
Participant or Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute
discretion may, but need not, order the Trustee to make distribution to any of
the following: a legal or natural guardian of the minor or other relative or
adult with whom the minor temporarily or permanently resides, a court-appointed
conservator of any incompetent, a relative or adult with whom the incompetent
temporarily or permanently resides, a residential care facility, rest home,
sanitarium or similar entity with which the incompetent temporarily or
permanently resides, a person or entity that has applied for and been designated
by the United States Government as the recipient or custodian for Social
Security benefits for the minor or incompetent. The Plan Administrator may also
make payment as directed by the attorney-in-fact of an incompetent Participant
when such direction is pursuant to an unrevoked and valid durable power of
attorney. Any guardian, conservator, relative, attorney-in-fact, other person or
entity shall have full authority and discretion to expend the distribution for
the use and benefit of the minor or incompetent. The receipt of the distribution
by the guardian, conservator, relative, attorney-in-fact, other person or entity
shall be a complete discharge to the Plan, Plan Administrator and Trustee,
without any responsibility on the part of the Trustee or the Plan Administrator
to see to the application thereof. A Participant shall be deemed incompetent if
he or she is incapable of properly using, expending, investing, or otherwise
disposing of the distribution, and a court order or the written opinion of a
qualified physician, psychiatrist or psychologist setting forth facts consistent
with the standards outlined in this Section is presented to the Plan
Administrator.

         23.11 Missing Persons: Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan and
Trust to the contrary, if the Plan Administrator is unable to locate any Former
Participant who is entitled to benefits under this Plan within three (3) years
of the date he becomes entitled to a distribution from the Trust Fund, any
amounts being held for his/her behalf shall be forfeited and used to reduce the
Employer's contributions to the Plan and Trust. The Plan Administrator shall
proceed with due diligence in attempting to locate any Former Participant. In
the Plan Administrator's sole discretion, due diligence may include inquiry of
any Beneficiary or Alternate Payee of the Former Participant whose names and
addresses are known to the Plan Administrator or use by the Plan Administrator
of a commercial locator service. Provided, however, no forfeiture shall occur
until the Plan Administrator has mailed the Former Participant a notice of the
benefits and the provisions of this section to his/her last known address, via
U.S. Mail postage prepaid, return receipt requested. And, provided further, if
the Former Participant is located subsequent to such forfeiture, the forfeited
amount shall be reinstated and the Former Participant shall receive a
distribution of his/her Vested Interest in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan.

         23.12 Transfer of Interest: Notwithstanding any other provision
contained in this Plan, the Trustee at the direction of the Plan Administrator
shall transfer the lump sum amount otherwise payable to a Participant or
Inactive Participant to another trust forming part of a pension, profit sharing,
or stock bonus plan maintained by such Participant's new employer and
represented by said employer in writing as meeting the requirements of Code
ss.401(a) provided that the trust to which such transfers are made permits the
transfer to be made.

         23.13 Prohibition Against Diversion of Funds: It shall be impossible by
operation of the Plan or of the Trust, by termination of either, by power of
revocation or amendment, by the happening of any contingency, by collateral
arrangement or by any other means, for any part of the corpus or income of any
trust fund maintained pursuant to the Plan or any funds contributed thereto to
be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of
Participants, Inactive Participants or their Beneficiaries, except as provided
in Sections 17.04 and 21.19.

<PAGE>

         23.14 Period of the Trust: If it shall be determined that the
applicable State law requires a limitation on the period during which this Trust
shall continue, then such Trust shall not continue for a period longer than
twenty-one (21) years following the death of the last of those Participants,
including future Participants, who are living at the Effective Date hereof. At
least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the twenty-first (21st)
year as described in the first sentence of this Section, the Plan Sponsor, the
Plan Administrator and the Trustee shall provide for the establishment of a
successor Trust and transfer of Plan assets to the Trustee of such successor
Trust. If applicable State law places no such limitation, then this Section
shall not be operative.

         23.15 Applicability of Plan: The provisions of this Plan shall apply
only to persons who are or who become Participants in this Plan on or after the
Effective Date or with respect to Plan provisions with alternate effective
dates, such alternate dates. Except as specifically provided in this Plan, the
provisions of the Prior Plan will continue to apply to persons who are Inactive
Participants or who are not employed by an FX Employer on the Effective Date or
as applicable, alternate effective dates, unless and until such time as such
persons may again become Participants in this Plan.

         23.16 Misstatement of Age: If a Participant or Beneficiary misstates or
misrepresents his/her age, date of birth or any other material information to
the Employer, Plan Administrator or Trustee, the amount, terms and conditions of
any benefits payable from the Plan that are attributable to periods prior to the
discovery of such misstatement or misrepresentation shall be limited to the
lesser (or more restrictive) of: the amount, terms and conditions determined
based on the misstated information; or the amount, terms and conditions
determined based on the correct information. The Plan Administrator shall have
sole and absolute authority for applying the preceding sentence.

         23.17 Return of Contributions to the Employer: Notwithstanding any
provision of this Plan to the contrary, if any contribution (or portion thereof)
by the Employer to the Trust is made as a result of a mistake of fact, or if any
contribution (or part thereof) by the Employer to the Trust Fund that is
conditioned upon the deductibility of the contribution by the Employer under the
Code is disallowed, whether by agreement within the Internal Revenue Service or
by final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Employer may demand
repayment of the mistaken or disallowed amount. The Trustee shall return the
mistaken or disallowed contribution within one (1) year following the time the
mistaken contribution was made or the disallowed contribution was disallowed.
Investment earnings attributable to the mistaken or disallowed amount shall not
be returned, but any investment losses attributable thereto shall reduce the
amount so returned.

         23.18 Counterparts: This Plan and Trust may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and the
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Plan Sponsor has caused this Plan to be
executed by its duly authorized representative this 23rd day of December, 2004.
