Date by a percentage equal to two hundred (200) basis points over the yield, as

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Designated Employee's elected
Deferral Period shall be overridden and end on the date of the Designated
Employee's severance from service from the Company and its controlled group of
corporations for any reason, including Disability or death, other than
Retirement (the "Termination Deferral Period").

      5.2   Payment Period. Payments made by the Company with respect to the
subaccounts established within the Designated Employee's Deferral Account for
Measurement Periods and/or Performance Periods, as applicable, beginning on or

<PAGE>

            (a)   Payment Period For Regular Deferral Period. At the end of the

                  Periods), payments shall be paid over the period specified by

                  the Termination Deferral Period described under Section 5.1
                  (Deferral Periods), payments shall be paid over the period
                  specified by the Designated Employee in the Election Form (not
                  to exceed three (3) years).

      5.3   Payment Date. Payments shall be made, or commence to be made, on the
January 31st or July 31st that is at least six (6) months after the end of the
applicable Deferral Period set forth in Section 5.1 (Deferral Periods),
including payments as a result of the Designated Employee's death before
payments commence. Annual installments made in accordance with Section 5.2(a)
(Payment Period For Regular Deferral Period) and Section 5.2(b) (Payment Period
For Termination Deferral Period) shall be paid each January 31st over the period
specified on the Election Form(s); provided, however, that if the Designated
Employee dies before the end of his elected payment period, the remaining
balance in his subaccounts established within his Deferral Account for
Measurement Periods and/or Performance Periods beginning on or after the

death.

      5.4   Actual Payments. Payments made by the Company with respect to the
Designated Employee's Deferral Account shall be made in cash (reduced by
required tax withholdings) and, for any reason other than the Designated
Employee's death or election of a lump sum, annual payments shall be in an
amount equal to a percentage of his relevant subaccount balance on the relevant
Payment Date, determined by dividing the subaccount balance at the applicable
Payment Date by the total remaining years of the payment term.

      Examples:   A.    Assume the Designated Employee remains actively
                        employed until the end of his elected Deferral Period
                        and elected a five (5) year payment period.

                  B.    Assume the Designated Employee dies while actively
                        employed and before the end of his elected Deferral
                        Period.

                  C.    Assume the Designated Employee has a severance from
                        service because of Disability and elected a two (2) year
                        payment period.

                  D.    Assume the Designated Employee elected a three (3) year
                        payment period and dies after receiving his first
                        scheduled payment.

      5.5   Prior Plan Deferrals. The Company shall pay to the Designated
Employee the balance of the subaccounts within the Deferral Account established
with respect to Prior Plan deferrals as set forth under the Prior Plan and the
Designated Employee's elections for the applicable Measurement Period and/or
Performance Period.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      6.1   No Trust. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken
pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create or deem to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Designated
Employee, his Beneficiary or any other person. To the extent that any person
acquires the right to receive benefits from the Company under this Plan, such
right shall be no greater than the right of any other unsecured general creditor
of the Company, and such person shall have no claim on, or any beneficial
interest in, any assets of the Company. The Company may establish bookkeeping
reserves or any funding media, including grantor trusts, to cover its obligation
to make the payments contemplated under Article V (Payments), but amounts
designated in such bookkeeping reserves or contained in such funding media as
are established shall remain solely those of the Company and shall be subject to
the claims of the creditors of the Company until actually paid to the Designated
Employee or his Beneficiary.

      6.2   Funding Arrangements. It is the Company's intention that the amounts
deferred under this Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. All
such amounts shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general funds of
the Company and the Plan shall constitute a mere promise by the Company to make
benefit payments in the future. The Company may, but is not required to, deposit
in a trust amounts sufficient to pay benefits under the Plan. Any trust created
by the Company and any assets held by the trust to assist the Company in meeting
its obligations under the Plan will conform to the terms of the model trust as
described in Revenue Procedure 92-64. Any amounts deposited in a trust will be
subject to the Company's general creditors.

      6.3   Nonforfeitability. The Designated Employee's rights to any payments
under this Plan, shall at all times be nonforfeitable.

                                       7
<PAGE>

      6.4   Spendthrift Provision. Benefits, payments, proceeds, claims, rights
or interest of the Designated Employee or his Beneficiary to or under this Plan
shall not be subject in any manner to any claims, attachments or encumbrances
due to the death, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Designated
Employee or his Beneficiary, directly or indirectly, or be subject to any claim
of any creditor of the Designated Employee or his Beneficiary, through legal
process or otherwise; nor shall the Designated Employee or his Beneficiary be
able or permitted in any manner to transfer, encumber, pledge, anticipate,
alienate, sell, or assign any such benefits, payments, proceeds, claims, rights
or interest, contingent or otherwise.

      6.5   Successors, Etc. This Plan shall be binding upon and benefit the
Company and its successors, and the Designated Employee and his Beneficiary,
their heirs and personal representatives, all in accordance and subject to the
terms of this Plan.

      6.6   Severability. Each provision of this Plan shall be independent of
and separable from every other provision of this Plan and should any provision
of this Plan be deemed or be declared to be contrary to or unenforceable under
any law, whether constitutional, statutory or otherwise, all of the remaining
provisions of this Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

      6.7   Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed in all respects, whether
as to validity, construction, capacity, performance or otherwise, under the laws
of the State of Michigan, except to the extent superseded by federal law.

      6.8   No Employment Rights. The Designated Employee's relationship with
the Company is that of an employee at will and the Company may terminate his
employment with the Company at any time, with or without cause. Nothing
contained in this Plan shall be construed as conferring upon the Designated
Employee the right to continue in the employ of the Company as an executive or
in any other capacity.

      6.9   Gender and Number Construction. In all cases where they would so
apply, words used in the masculine gender shall be construed to include the
feminine gender, and words used in the singular shall be construed to include
the plural.

      6.10  Incapacity of Recipient. In the event the Designated Employee or his
Beneficiary is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person legally
charged with the care of his person is appointed, any benefits under this Plan
to which such Designated Employee or Beneficiary is entitled shall be paid to
such appointed person.

      6.11  Amendment and Termination of Deferral Plan. This Plan may be amended
or terminated by the Company at any time with respect to amounts not yet
credited to the Designated Employee's Deferral Account; provided however, no
such termination shall affect the Designated Employee's interest in amounts
previously deferred. In the event the Plan is terminated, the Company may, in
its sole Discretion, immediately distribute the balance of the Designated
Employee's Deferral Accounts regardless of the Deferral Periods elected pursuant
to Section 5.1 (Deferral Periods).

V (Payments) must be made with respect to that Deferral Year.

its subsidiaries, as a "key employee," as determined by the CEO.

      1.15 "PAYMENT DATE" means, with respect to the Deferral Account, the date

shall be measured, in whole years only, starting from the Designated Employee's
date of hire with any member of the Company's controlled group of corporations
(including service preceding any stock acquisition), with the passage of each
anniversary of such date of hire counting as a year of service.

      During the Election Period, each Designated Employee may elect, on the
Election Form, a percentage of his Bonus to be earned in the following calendar
year which shall not currently be paid in cash, but shall instead be distributed
to the Designated Employee (or in the event of his death, to his Beneficiary) in
accordance with the provisions of Article V (Payments). Elections shall be in
five percent (5%) increments, or such other increments as may be specified by
the Company, totaling not less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) and not more

      4.1   Creation and Maintenance of Deferral Account. The Company shall
establish a Deferral Account for each Designated Employee. The portion of each
Designated Employee's Bonus deferred pursuant to Article III (Deferral of Bonus)
shall be credited to his Deferral Account as of the applicable Deferral Date.
The Company may establish subaccounts within each Deferral Account for each
Deferral Year. The Company shall maintain records for each Deferral Account and
any subaccounts until the balance of the Deferral Account has been paid in full

Date by a percentage equal to two hundred (200) basis points over the yield, as
of January 1st of that year, on U.S. Treasury Notes with a term of five (5)

and payments, if any, occurring during the year then ended. On January 1st of
each year, the earnings rate shall be reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to
ensure that the rate is a minimum of two hundred (200) basis points over the
prevailing yield on U.S. Treasury Notes with a term of five (5) years.

reason, including Disability or death, other than Retirement (the "Termination
Deferral Period").

      5.2   Payment Period. Payments made by the Company with respect to the
subaccounts established within the Designated Employee's Deferral Account for
Deferral Years beginning on or after the Effective Date shall be paid over the
period specified below.

            (a)   Payment Period For Regular Deferral Period. At the end of the
                  Regular Deferral Period described under Section 5.1 (Deferral
                  Periods), payments shall be paid over the period specified by

                  ten (10) years.

            (b)   Payment Period For Termination Deferral Period. At the end of
                  the Termination Deferral Period described under Section 5.1
                  (Deferral Periods), payments shall be paid over the period
                  specified by the Designated Employee in the Election Form (not
                  to exceed three (3) years).

      5.3   Payment Date. Payments shall be made, or commence to be made, on the

applicable Deferral Period set forth in Section 5.1 (Deferral Periods),
including payments as a result of the Designated Employee's death before
payments commence, . Annual installments made in accordance with Section 5.2(a)
(Payment Period For Regular Deferral Period) and Section 5.2(b) (Payment Period
For Termination Deferral Period) shall be paid each January 31st over the period
specified on the Election Form; provided, however, that if the Designated
Employee dies before the end of his elected payment period, the remaining
balance in his subaccounts established within his Deferral Account for Deferral
Years beginning on or after the Effective Date will be paid on the next January
31st or July 31st after his death.

      5.4   Actual Payments. Payments made by the Company with respect to the
Designated Employee's Deferral Account shall be made in cash (reduced by
required tax withholdings) and, for any reason other than the Designated
Employee's death or election of a lump sum, annual payments shall be in an
amount equal to a percentage of his relevant subaccount balance on the relevant
Payment Date, determined by dividing the subaccount balance at the applicable
Payment Date by the total remaining years of the payment term.

      Examples:   A.    Assume the Designated Employee remains actively employed
                        until the end of his elected Deferral Period and
                        elected a five (5)year payment period.

                  B.    Assume the Designated Employee dies while actively
                        employed and before the end of his elected Deferral
                        Period.

                  C.    Assume the Designated Employee has a severance from
                        service because of Disability and elected a two (2) year
                        payment period.

                  D.    Assume the Designated Employee elected a three (3) year

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      6.1   No Trust. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken
pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create or deem to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Designated
Employee, his Beneficiary or any other person. To the extent that any person
acquires the right to receive benefits from the Company under this Plan, such
right shall be no greater than the right of any other unsecured general creditor
of the Company, and such person shall have no claim on, or any beneficial
interest in, any assets of the Company. The Company may establish bookkeeping
reserves or any funding media, including grantor trusts, to cover its obligation
to make the payments contemplated under Article V (Payments), but amounts
designated in such bookkeeping reserves or contained in such funding media as
are established shall remain solely those of the Company and shall be subject to
the claims of the creditors of the Company until actually paid to the Designated
Employee or his Beneficiary.

      6.2   Funding Arrangements. It is the Company's intention that the amounts
deferred under this Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of
Title I of the Employee

                                       6
<PAGE>

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. All such amounts shall
continue for all purposes to be part of the general funds of the Company and the
Plan shall constitute an unsecured promise of the Company to make benefit
payments in the future. The Company may, but is not required to, deposit in a
trust amounts sufficient to pay benefits under the Plan. Any trust created by
the Company and any assets held by the trust to assist the Company in meeting
its obligations under the Plan will conform to the terms of the model trust as
described in Revenue Procedure 92-64. Any amounts deposited in a trust will be
subject to the Company's general creditors.

      6.3   Nonforfeitability. The Designated Employee's rights to any payments
under this Plan, shall at all times be nonforfeitable.

      6.4   Spendthrift Provision. Benefits, payments, proceeds, claims, rights
or interest of the Designated Employee or his Beneficiary to or under this Plan
shall not be subject in any manner to any claims, attachments or encumbrances
due to the death, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Designated
Employee or his Beneficiary, directly or indirectly, or be subject to any claim
