    SUMMARY
    OF SENIOR EXECUTIVE RETIREE HEALTH CARE BENEFIT PLAN

 

    Zapata Corporation (“Zapata”) has established a senior
    executive retiree health care benefit plan (the
    “Plan”). Under the Plan, retired senior executive
    officers of Zapata who are elected to their positions by the
    Board of Directors, and their spouses are eligible to receive
    health insurance benefits consistent with Zapata’s existing
    benefits available to employees, after their retirement from
    Zapata.

 

    Participation of individuals in the Plan is determined by the
    Board of Directors upon recommendation of the independent
    Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of
    Directors may consider several factors in determining
    participation in the Plan, including length of employment,
    amount of time elapsed since the individual was last employed by
    Zapata, other retirement or health care benefits available to
    the individual and any other factors its deems appropriate.
