     under this Plan if he had been working in his regular employment for the
     Employer (or an Affiliate in the case of an Employee who has transferred
     his Employment to the Employer from such Affiliate).

     Employee who has transferred his Employment to the Employer from such
     Affiliate) who is regularly employed by such Employer (or Affiliate) for at
     least 35 hours a week shall be credited with forty-five Hours of Service if
     under this Plan he would be credited with at least one Hour of Service
     during the week.

          (f) An Employee of the Employer (or an Affiliate in the case of an
     Employee who has transferred his Employment to the Employer from such

     -----------------------------------------------

     3.2.1  Subject to Sections 3.2.2 through 3.2.7 below, Credited Service
shall mean the sum of a Participant's Years of Service, expressed in full years
and fractions thereof, except for the following:

            (a)  Any period of Employment prior to the first anniversary of the
Participant's Employment following his 20th birthday (or 24th birthday for years
prior to January 1, 1985); and

Participant does not qualify as an Eligible Employee.

     3.2.2  If an Employee is on an authorized unpaid leave of absence granted
by his

                                     III-2
<PAGE>

Employer, his period of absence shall be counted as Credited Service upon his
return to active Employment only if his Employer determines in writing, in
accordance with standard personnel policies applied in a non-discriminatory
manner to all Employees similarly situated, that such absence furthers the
interest of the Employer.

     3.2.3  If an Employee is on an authorized military leave while his
reemployment rights are protected by law and provided that he directly entered
military service from his Employer's service and shall not have voluntarily
reenlisted after the date of first entering active military service, his period
of absence shall be counted as Credited Service upon his return to active
Employment.

     3.2.4  If an Employee is on an authorized leave of absence on account of
Disability, he shall continue to receive Credited Service from the date of
Disability until the earlier of:  (i) his Early Retirement Date; (ii) his Normal
Retirement Date; or (iii) his recovery from Disability.

     3.2.5  An Employee who terminates Employment with no vested percentage in
his Retirement Benefit shall, if he returns to Employment, have no credit for
Credited Service prior to such termination of Employment if (i) for years prior
to January 1, 1985, the total of his consecutive One Year Breaks in Service
immediately preceding his reemployment exceed his aggregate years of Vesting
Service (whether or not consecutive, but excluding Vesting Service previously
disregarded under Section 4.2.4) prior to the termination; or (ii) for years on
or after January 1, 1985, the total of his consecutive One Year Breaks in
Service immediately preceding his reemployment exceed the greater of five years
or his aggregate years of Vesting Service (whether or not consecutive, but
excluding Vesting Service previously disregarded under Section 4.2.4) prior to
the termination.  A Participant who had a Vested Termination and returns to
Employment will retain credit for his prior years of Credited Service unless he
received a distribution of his Accrued Retirement Benefit at the time of such
Vested Termination.

     3.2.6  No Participant shall receive Credited Service during a period when
such Participant is accruing benefits under another defined benefit plan of the
Employer or an Affiliate unless the Retirement Benefit under this Plan is
reduced or offset by the full amount of benefits accrued by such Participant
under such other defined benefit plan.

     3.2.7  By appropriate corporate action exercised in a uniform and
nondiscriminatory manner and, where applicable consented to by the Company, each
Employer may grant Credited Service for any Employment with such Employer prior
to the time it became an Employer.

5.2  Suspension of Payments on Resumption of Employment
     --------------------------------------------------

     5.2.1  If an Employee continues in Employment after his Normal Retirement

Employment and performs more than 40 Hours of Service per calendar month
considered as service under ERISA (S) 203(a)(3)(B).

     5.2.2  No payment shall be withheld by the Plan pursuant to this Section
unless the Plan notifies the Employee by personal delivery or first class mail
during the first calendar month or payroll period in which the Plan withholds
payments that his benefits are suspended.  Such notifications shall contain a
description of the specific reasons why benefit payments are being suspended, a
description of the Plan provision relating to the suspension of payments, a copy
of such provisions, and a statement to the effect that applicable Department of

procedures for affording a review of the suspension of benefits.  Requests for
such reviews shall be considered in accordance with the claims procedure adopted
by the Administrator.

the calendar month when payments resume and any amounts withheld during the
period between the cessation of ERISA (S) 203(a)(3)(B) service and the
resumption of payments.

     5.2.4  The Retirement Benefit payable upon resumption of benefit payment
shall be equal to the Participant's Retirement Benefit as of the date of his
subsequent termination of Employment reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent of
payments previously made to him; provided, however, that such Retirement Benefit
may not be less than the Retirement Benefit previously payable.

5.3  Limitation on Commencement of Benefits

     5.3.2  If the amount of benefits payable cannot be determined within such
60-day period, or if it is not possible to pay such benefits within such period
because the Administrator has been unable to locate the Participant after making
reasonable efforts to do so, then a payment, retroactive to such 60th day, shall
be made no later than 60 days after the earliest date on which the amount of
such benefits can be determined or the Participant can be located, as the case
may be.

     5.3.3  Any other provision of this Article V to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Benefit Commencement Date of a Participant must be no later
than the first day of April following the calendar year in which the Participant
attains age 70-1/2 even if he continues in Employment after that date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant who is not a "5 percent owner"
(as defined in Code (S) 401(a)(9)) attained age 70-1/2 before January 1, 1988,
the Benefit Commencement Date must be no later than the first day of April
following the calendar year in which the Participant terminates Employment.

     5.3.4  If the Actuarial Equivalent value of a Participant's Retirement
Benefit exceeds $3,500, the Participant (and, if applicable, his Spouse) must

                    FORMS OF PAYMENT OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT
                    --------------------------------------

6.1  Methods of Distribution
     -----------------------

     6.1.1  A Participant's benefits shall be payable in the normal form of a
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if the Participant is married on his
Benefit Commencement Date and in the normal form of an annuity for the life of
the Participant with Actuarially Equivalent payments guaranteed for 120 months
if the Participant is not married on that date, provided that, and subject to
Sections 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4, a Participant may within the 90-day period
prior to the Benefit Commencement Date elect, in accordance with Section 6.2,
any of the following optional forms of benefit payment instead of the normal
form:

            (a) A Single Life Annuity, under which monthly payments calculated
                ---------------------
in accordance with Section 3.1.1 are made to the Participant during his lifetime
with no further payments from the Plan on his behalf after his death.

            (b) A Joint and 50%, 66-2/3%, or 100% Survivor Annuity, under which
                --------------------------------------------------
Actuarially Equivalent monthly payments are made to the Participant for the
joint lives of the Participant and his Beneficiary with payments continuing for
the life of the survivor in an amount equal to 50%, 66-2/3% or 100% of the joint
life payments (whichever is elected by the Participant).  A Participant may
elect to add a period certain of 10 years in which event no reduction in
payments will be made for the longer of the 10 year period or the period during
which both the Participant and Beneficiary remain alive.

            (c) A 120 Months Certain and Life Income Annuity, an optional form
                --------------------------------------------
of payment for a married Participant, under which reduced Actuarially Equivalent
payments are made to the Participant during the Participant's lifetime, with the
provision that if the Participant's death occurs before he had received 120
monthly payments the value of the remaining number of such payments shall be
paid to his Beneficiary.

            (d)  Lump Sum, under which the Actuarially Equivalent value of the
                 --------
Participant's Retirement Benefit is paid in one sum.

     6.1.2  Anything in Section 6.1.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Actuarial Equivalent value of a Participant's Retirement Benefit is $3,500 or
less, his benefit shall be paid in the form of a lump sum distribution and no
optional form of benefit payment shall be available.

     6.1.3  Payment in any form may only be made over one of the following
periods (or a combination thereof):

            (a)  the life of the Participant,

            (b)  the life of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary,

            (c)  a period certain not extending beyond the life expectancy of
     the Participant, or

            (d)  a period certain not extending beyond the joint and last
     survivor

                                     VI-1
<PAGE>

     expectancy of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary.

     6.1.4  If the Participant's Spouse is not his designated Beneficiary, the
method of distribution must assure that at least fifty percent of the present
value of the Participant's Retirement Benefit is paid within the life expectancy
of the Participant.

6.2  Election of Optional Forms
     --------------------------

     6.2.1  By notice to the Administrator within the 90-day period prior to a
Participant's Benefit Commencement Date, the Participant may elect, in writing
and subject to the spousal consent rules as set forth in Section 6.2.4, not to
receive the normal form of benefit payment otherwise applicable and to receive
instead an optional form of benefit payment provided for in Section 6.1.1.

     6.2.2  Within a reasonable period, but in no event later than 30 days
before nor earlier than 90 days before a Participant's Benefit Commencement
Date, the Administrator shall provide to each Participant a written explanation
of:

            (a) the terms and conditions of the Participant's normal form of
     benefit payment;

            (b) the Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election
     to waive the normal form of benefit payment;

            (c) the rights of the Participant's Spouse under Section 6.2.4; and

            (d) the right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a previous
     election to waive the normal form of benefit payment.

The Administrator may, on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, provide for
such other notices, information or election periods or take such other action as
the Administrator considers necessary or appropriate in order to comply with
Code (S)(S) 401(a)(11) and 417.

     6.2.3  A Participant may revoke his election to take an optional form of
benefit at any time prior to the Participant's Benefit Commencement Date,
without the consent of his Spouse.

     6.2.4  The election of an optional form of benefit by a married Participant
must be in the form of a waiver of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.  The
election must be in writing and consented to by the Participant's Spouse.  The
Spouse's consent to the waiver must specify the form of benefit being elected
and the non-Spouse Beneficiary, if any, and must be witnessed by the
Administrator or a notary public.  Notwithstanding this consent requirement, if
the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Administrator that such
written consent may not be obtained because there is no Spouse or the Spouse
cannot be located, the Participant's election will be deemed effective.  Any
consent necessary under this provision will be valid only with respect to the
Spouse who signs the consent, or in the event of a deemed effective election,
the designated Spouse.

     6.2.5  The election of an optional form of benefit which contemplates the
payment of an

                                     VI-2

annuity shall not be given effect if any person who would receive benefits under
the annuity dies before the Benefit Commencement Date.

1993, a Participant or Spouse may elect to have all or a portion of any amount
payable to him or her from the Plan which is an "eligible rollover distribution"
(as defined in Section 6.3.2 below) transferred directly to an "eligible
retirement plan" (as defined in Section 6.3.2 below).  Any such election shall
be made in accordance with such uniform rules and procedures as the
Administrative Committee may prescribe from time to time as to the timing and
manner of the election in accordance with Code (S) 401(a)(31).

     6.3.2  For purposes of this Section and Section 7.2.4:

            (a) "Eligible rollover distribution" shall mean any distribution of
all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee other than:
(1) 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; (2) any
distribution for a specified period of ten (10) years or more; (3) any
distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code (S)
401(a)(9); or (4) the portion of any distribution that is not includable in
gross income.

Participant, an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code (S)
408(a) or 408(b) ("IRA"); an annuity plan described in Code (S) 403(a); or a
qualified plan described in Code (S) 401(a), that accepts the distributee's
eligible rollover distribution and, with respect to a Spouse, shall mean an IRA.

                                --------------

7.1   Eligibility for Pre-Retirement Death Benefit
      --------------------------------------------

      7.1.1   A pre-retirement death benefit shall be payable under the Plan in
the event of the death of a Participant prior to his Benefit Commencement Date
who, on the date of death, was either:

              (a)   actively employed by the Employer;
              (b)   Disabled; or
              (c)   terminated but eligible for Early Retirement.

The death benefit payable under this Section 7.1.1 shall be the larger of:

              (1)   the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent, as of the day before the
death of the Participant, of the Accrued Retirement Benefit that would have been
payable upon Normal Retirement of the Participant; or

              (2)   the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent, as of the day before the
Participant's death, of the monthly benefit which would have been payable to the
Participant's Spouse in the form of an immediate Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity under the Plan if (i) in the case of a Participant who dies after having
attained the earliest retirement age under the Plan, the Participant had retired
on the day before his death, and (ii) in the case of a Participant who dies
before having attained the earliest retirement age under the Plan, the
Participant had separated from service as of his date of death, survived until
his earliest retirement age under the Plan, retired on the day after attainment
of his earliest retirement age under the Plan, and died immediately thereafter.

      7.1.2   A pre-retirement death benefit shall also be payable under the
Plan in the event of the death of a married Participant prior to his or her
Benefit Commencement Date who had a Vested Separation prior to eligibility for
Early Retirement. The death benefit payable under this Section 7.1.2 shall be
equal to the benefit calculated under paragraph (2) of Section 7.1.1.

7.2   Form of Pre-Retirement Death Benefit
      ------------------------------------

      7.2.1   The pre-retirement death benefit payable under Section 7.1.1 shall
be payable to the Surviving Spouse of such Participant in the form of an
Actuarially Equivalent single life annuity commencing on the date of death
unless the Participant has no Surviving Spouse or the Participant has made an
election under Section 7.3, with the Spouse's consent, not to have the benefit
paid in such form. If the Participant has no Surviving Spouse or has made an
effective election under Section 7.3, such benefit shall be paid to the
Participant's Beneficiary in the Actuarially Equivalent form elected by the
Participant commencing on the date elected, or if there is no designated
Beneficiary, to the Participant's estate in a single lump sum. The Surviving
Spouse or other Beneficiary may elect any other Actuarially Equivalent form of
payment permitted under Section 6.1.1, by an instrument in writing filed with
the Administrator within 60 days after the Participant's death.

      7.2.2   The pre-retirement death benefit payable under Section 7.1.2 shall
be payable to the Surviving Spouse of such Participant in the form of an
Actuarially Equivalent single life annuity commencing on the date the
Participant would have attained earliest retirement age, unless the Surviving
Spouse shall elect another Actuarially Equivalent form of payment permitted by
Section 6.1.1, by an instrument in writing filed with the Administrator within
60 days after the Participant's death. No benefit shall be payable under Section
7.1.2 unless the Spouse is alive on such Benefit Commencement Date.

      7.2.3   Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2, if the
present value of the pre-retirement death benefit payable under Section 7.1.1 or
7.1.2 is $3,500 or less, such benefit shall be distributed in a single lump sum
as soon as practicable following the death of the Participant.

      7.2.4   Any lump sum payment payable to a Spouse pursuant to this Section
7.2 shall be eligible for a direct rollover in accordance with Section 6.3.

7.3   Election to Waive
      -----------------

      7.3.1   An election by a married Participant under Section 7.2.1 must be
in the form of an election to waive the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity. In order for any waiver pursuant to this Section 7.3.1 to be effective,
the Participant's Spouse must consent in writing to such election, and such
consent must acknowledge the effect of the election and must be witnessed by the
Administrator or a notary public. Such spousal consent shall be effective only
with respect to the Spouse giving this consent and, once given, such consent
shall be irrevocable. The Participant shall have the right to revoke his waiver
at any time prior to the earlier of the Participant's Benefit Commencement Date
or death.

      -------------

      7.4.1   With respect to any death benefit payable pursuant to Section
7.1.1, a Participant's Beneficiary shall be his Surviving Spouse or, subject to
the Spousal consent rules in Section 7.3, other Beneficiary or Beneficiaries
designated by the Participant in accordance with rules established by the
Administrator. With respect to any death benefit payable pursuant to Section
7.1.2, a Participant's Beneficiary shall be his Surviving Spouse.

      7.4.2   With respect to any form of payment of a Retirement Benefit
pursuant to Article V providing for payments after the death of the Participant,
a Participant shall designate, in accordance with the election procedure under
Article VI, one or more Beneficiaries to whom amounts due after his death shall
be paid, and the rights of such Beneficiary shall be governed by the terms of
the form of payment so elected.

      7.4.3   No Spouse or other Beneficiary shall have any right to benefits
under the Plan unless he shall survive the Participant. If a Beneficiary fails
to survive a Participant for at least 30 days, it shall be presumed that the
Participant survived the Beneficiary.

7.5   After-Death Distribution Rules
      ------------------------------

      7.5.1   Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, if a
Participant dies after distribution of his benefits has commenced, the remaining
portion of such benefits will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as
under the method of distribution being used prior to the Participant's death.

      7.5.2   Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, if a
Participant dies before distribution of his benefits has commenced, the
Participant's entire interest will be distributed no later than 5 years after
the Participant's death; provided, however, that, if any portion of the
Participant's interest is payable to his Beneficiary, distributions may be made
in substantially equal installments over the life or life expectancy of the
Beneficiary, commencing (i) in the case of a Beneficiary other than a Surviving
Spouse, no later than one year after the Participant's death; and (ii) in the
case of a Surviving Spouse, no later than the later of one year after the
Participant's death or the date on which the Participant would have attained age
70 1/2. If the Spouse dies before payments to such Spouse begin, subsequent
distributions shall be made as if the Spouse had been the Participant.

      ---------------------------------

      The Trust shall be held for the benefit of all persons who shall be
entitled to receive payments under the Plan. It shall be prohibited at any time
for any part of the Trust (other than such part as is required to pay expenses)
to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of
Participants or their Beneficiaries.

13.2  Plan Not a Contract of Employment
      ---------------------------------

      The Plan is not a contract of Employment, and the terms of Employment of
any Employee shall not be affected in any way by the Plan or related instruments
except as specifically provided therein.

13.3  Source of Benefits
      ------------------

      Benefits under the Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from the
Trust, and neither the Company, an Employer, the Administrator, Trustee or
Investment Manager shall assume any liability therefor.

13.4  Benefits Not Assignable
      -----------------------

      Benefits provided under the Plan may not be assigned or alienated, either
voluntarily or involuntarily. The preceding sentence shall also apply to the
creation, assignment or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with
respect to a Participant pursuant to a "domestic relations order" (as defined in
Code (S) 414(p)) unless such order is determined by the Administrator to be a
"qualified domestic relations order" (as defined in Code (S) 414(p)) or, in the
case of a "domestic relations order" entered before January 1, 1985, if either
payment of benefits pursuant to the order has commenced as of that date or the
Administrator decides to treat such order as a "qualified domestic relations
order" within the meaning of Code (S) 414(p) even if it does not otherwise
qualify as such.

13.5  Domestic Relations Orders
      -------------------------

      Any other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Administrator shall have all powers necessary with respect to the Plan for the
proper operation of Code (S) 414(p) with respect to "qualified domestic
relations orders" (or "domestic relations orders" treated as such) referred to
in Section 13.4, including, but not limited to, the power to establish all
necessary or appropriate procedures, to authorize the establishment of new
accounts with such assets and subject to such restrictions as the Administrator
may deem appropriate, and the Administrator may decide upon and direct
appropriate distributions therefrom.

13.6  Benefits Payable to Minors, Incompetents and Others

Administrator, is by reason of advanced age, illness or other physical or mental
incapacity incapable of handling and disposing of his property, or otherwise is
in such position or condition that the Administrator believes that he could not
utilize the benefit for his support or welfare, the Administrator shall have
discretion to apply the whole or any part of such benefit directly to the care,
comfort, maintenance, support, education or use of such person, or pay the whole
or any part of such benefit to the parent of such person, the guardian,
committee, conservator or other legal representative, wherever appointed, of
such person, the person with whom such person is residing, or to any other
person having the care and control of such person. The receipt by any such
person to whom any such payment on behalf of any Participant or Beneficiary is
made shall be a sufficient discharge therefor.

13.7  Merger or Transfer of Assets
      ----------------------------

      13.7.1  The merger or consolidation of the Company with any other person,
or the transfer of the assets of the Company to any other person, shall not
constitute a termination of the Plan, if provision is made for the continuation
of the Plan.

      13.7.2  The Plan may not merge or consolidate with, or transfer any assets
or liabilities to, any other plan, unless each Participant would (if the Plan
then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation
or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been
entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if
the Plan had then terminated).

13.8  Participation in the Plan by an Affiliate
      -----------------------------------------

      13.8.1  By duly authorized action, an Affiliate may adopt the Plan. Such
Affiliate by duly authorized action, also may determine the classes of its
Employees who shall be Eligible Employees. Such Affiliate shall make such
contributions to the Plan on behalf of such Employees as is determined by the
Company. If no such action is taken, the Eligible Employees and the amount of
Retirement Benefit shall be determined in accordance with the Plan provisions
applicable to an Employer.

      13.8.2  By duly authorized action, any other Employer may terminate its
participation in the Plan or withdraw from the Plan and the Trust.

      13.8.3  An Employer other than the Company shall have no power with
respect to the Plan except as specifically provided by this Section 13.8.

the Plan shall be taken by the board of directors of the Employer or any person
or persons duly empowered to exercise the powers of the Employer with respect to
the Plan.

13.10 Provision of Information
      ------------------------

in this regard.

13.11 Controlling Law
      ---------------

      The Plan is intended to qualify under Code (S) 401(a) and to comply with

not preempted by ERISA, the laws of the State of Alabama shall control the
interpretation and performance of the terms of the Plan.

13.12 Conditional Restatement
      -----------------------

      Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Plan has
been restated on the express condition that it will be considered by the
Internal Revenue Service as qualifying under the provisions of Code (S) 401(a)
and the Trust qualifying for exemption from taxation under Code (S) 501(a). If
the Internal Revenue Service determines that the Plan or Trust does not so
qualify, the Plan shall be amended or terminated as decided by the Company.

      balances and the present value of accrued benefits will be determined as
      of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the 12-
      month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Code
      (S) 416 for the first and second plan year of a Defined Benefit Plan. The
      account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant (A) who is a Non-
      Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (B) who has
      not been credited with at least one Hour of Service with any Employer at
      any time during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date will be
      disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to
      which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will
      be made in accordance with Code (S) 416. Deductible employee contributions
      will 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 respective Determination
      Dates for the aggregated plans that fall within the same calendar year.

                (iv)  Solely for the purpose of determining if the Plan, or any
      other plan included in a Required Aggregation Group of which this Plan is
      a part, is Top-Heavy (within the meaning of Code (S) 416(g)) such
      determination shall be made under (A) the method, if any, that uniformly
      applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Employer,
      or (B) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more
      rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional
      accrual rate of Code (S) 411(b)(l)(C).

           (m)  Valuation Date means, the date as of which account balances, or
                --------------
accrued benefits are valued for purposes of calculating the Top-Heavy Ratio.

      B.   If the Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan or a Super Top-Heavy
Plan as of any Determination Date, then it shall be subject to the rules set
forth in this Appendix A, beginning with the first Plan Year commencing after
such Determination Date. Even if, as of a subsequent Determination Date, the
Plan is determined to no longer be a Top-Heavy Plan or a Super Top-Heavy Plan,
the rules set forth in these Sections will continue to apply.

      C.   For each Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1989 in which the Plan
is a Top-Heavy Plan or Super Top-Heavy Plan, Compensation for the purpose of
this Plan shall be limited to the first $200,000 (or such larger amount as may
be prescribed for the Plan Year involved pursuant to Code (S) 416(d)(2)) of the
amount that would otherwise have been Compensation.

      D.   (a)  Except as provided in subparagraphs (b) and (c) below, for any
Plan Year in or after which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, each Participant who
is a Non-Key Employee and has completed one Year of Service will accrue a
Retirement Benefit (to be provided solely by Employer contributions) and
expressed as a single life annuity commencing at normal retirement age (within
the meaning of Code (S) 411(a)(8)) of not less than 2% of his or her average
Limitation Compensation for the 5 consecutive years for which the Participant
had the highest Limitation

                                      A-4

Compensation. The aggregate Limitation Compensation for the years during such
five-year period in which the Participant was credited with one Year of Service
will be divided by the number of such years in order to determine average
Limitation Compensation. The minimum accrual is determined without regard to any
Social Security contribution. The minimum accrual applies even though under
other Plan provisions the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive
an accrual, or would have received a lesser accrual for the Plan Year. The
suspension of benefits provisions of this Plan shall not apply to the minimum
benefits hereunder.

           (b)  No additional benefit accruals shall be provided pursuant to (a)
above to the extent that the total accruals on behalf of the Participant
attributable to Employer contributions will provide a Retirement Benefit
expressed as a single life annuity commencing at normal retirement age (within
the meaning of Code (S) 411(a)(8)) that equals or exceeds 20% of the
Participant's highest average Limitation Compensation for the 5 consecutive
years for which the Participant had the highest Limitation Compensation. All
accruals of Employer derived benefits, whether or not attributable to years for
which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, may be used in computing whether the minimum
accrual requirement of the preceding sentence is satisfied.

           (c)  The provision in (a) above shall not apply to any Participant to
the extent that the Participant is covered under any other plan or plans of an
Employer and the Employer has provided in that plan that the minimum allocation
or benefit requirement applicable to this Top-Heavy Plan will be met in the
other plan or plans.

      E.   If the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year, then the maximum
benefit which can be provided under Code (S) 415 shall be determined by
substituting "1.00" for "1.25" in Code (S) 415(e)(2)(B) and (3)(B), unless the
Plan meets the requirements of Code (S) 416(h)(2)(B) and the Administrator
increases the minimum rate of benefit accrual provided in Section D by one
percent.

      F.   Beginning with the Plan Year in which this Plan is Top-Heavy, the
following vesting schedule will apply:

           Completed Years of                          Vested
             Vesting Service                         Percentage
           ------------------                        ----------

                   2                                     20%
                   3                                     40%
                   4                                     60%
                   5                                    100%

      G.   In the event that any provision of this Appendix A is no longer
required to qualify the Plan under the Code, then such provision shall thereupon
be void without the necessity of further amendment of the Plan.
