                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                              --------------------

     THIS  EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT  ("Agreement"), made and entered into as of the
28th  day  of  June,  2000,  by and among TRITON EXPLORATION SERVICES, INC. (the
"Employer"),  the  individual  signatory  hereto ("Employee"), and Triton Energy
Limited,  a  Cayman  Islands  company  (the  "Company"),  to  the limited extent
provided  herein,

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

     WHEREAS,  the  Employer  is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
the  Company;

     WHEREAS,  the  Employer  and  the  Company  consider  the establishment and
maintenance  of  a  sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and
enhancing  their  best  interests  and  the  best  interests of their respective
shareholders;

     WHEREAS,  the  Employer and the Company recognize that, because the Company
is  a  publicly  held  company  and as is the case with many such companies, the
possibility  of a change in control may exist and that such possibility, and the
uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the
departure  or  distraction  of  management  personnel  to  the  detriment of the
Employer  and  the  Company  and  their  respective  shareholders;

     WHEREAS,  the  Boards  of  Directors  of  the Employer and the Company have
determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the
continued  attention  and  dedication  of  members of the Employer's management,
including  Employee, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of
the  potentially  disturbing  circumstances  arising  from  the possibility of a
change  in  control  of  the  Company;    and

     WHEREAS,  in  order  to  induce  Employee  to  remain  in the employ of the
Employer, the Employer is willing to agree to provide certain severance benefits
to  Employee  in  the  event Employee's employment is terminated subsequent to a
change in control of the Company under the circumstances described below and the
Company  is  willing  to guarantee the performance of the Employer's obligations
hereunder;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the mutual premises and conditions
contained  herein,  the  parties  hereto  agree  as  follows:

     1.   TERM
          ----

          1.1     Contract  Term.  This  Agreement  shall  commence  on the date
                  --------------
hereof,  and  shall  continue  until  January  1,  2001; provided, however, that
commencing  January  1,  2001  and  each  January  1 thereafter the term of this
Agreement  shall  automatically  be  extended  for an additional year unless (i)
there has been no change in control of the Company and (ii) no fewer than thirty
(30)  days  prior to such January 1st date, the Employer shall have given notice
that  it  does  not  wish  to  extend  this  Agreement.

          1.2     Consideration by Employee.  In consideration of the Employer's
                  -------------------------
entering  into  this  Agreement,  Employee  hereby  agrees  that, for the period
commencing on the date hereof and extending through the termination date of this
Agreement, Employee will not voluntarily terminate employment with the Employer,
except  in  the  event  of  (i)  a  change in control of the Company as provided
herein,  (ii)  a substantial change in Employee's position, duties, compensation
or  benefits  which  would  be  deemed  "Good  Reason" for Employee to terminate
Employee's  employment  in accordance with Section 3.3 if there were a change in
control  of the Company, or (iii) the Employer's consenting to such termination.

     2.     CHANGE  IN  CONTROL.  No  benefits  shall  be  payable  under  this
            -------------------
Agreement  unless  there  shall have been a change in control of the Company, as
set  forth  below,  and  Employee's  employment  with the Employer (or any other
direct  or  indirect  subsidiary  of  the  Company)  shall  thereafter have been
terminated  within two (2) years following the date of such change in control in
accordance  with  Section 3 below.  For purposes of this Agreement, a "change in
control  of  the  Company"  shall  mean  the  occurrence of any of the following
events:  (i)  there  shall  be  consummated (x) any consolidation, amalgamation,
merger  or  other  form  of business combination of the Company, or to which the
Company  is a party, in which (I) the Company is not the continuing or surviving
corporation  or  (II)  where  the  Company  is  the  continuing  or  surviving
corporation,  the  Company's  Ordinary  Shares  would  be  converted  into cash,
securities  or  other  property, or the holders of the Company's Ordinary Shares
immediately  prior  to  the consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other form of
business combination would represent less than a majority of the common stock or
ordinary  shares  of  the  surviving  corporation  immediately  after  the
consolidation,  amalgamation,  merger  or other form of business combination, or
(y)  any  sale,  lease, exchange or other transfer (excluding transfer by way of
pledge  or  hypothecation),  in  one  transaction  or  a  series  of  related
transactions,  of  all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company, (ii)
the shareholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation
or  dissolution  of  the Company, (iii) any "person" (as such term is defined in
Section  3(a)(9)  or Section 13(d)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as  amended (the "1934 Act")) or any "group" (as such term is used in Rule 13d-5
promulgated  under the 1934 Act), other than the Company or any successor of the
Company  or  any  subsidiary  of the Company or any employee benefit plan of the
Company  or any subsidiary (including such plan's trustee), becomes a beneficial
owner  for  purposes  of  Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act, directly or
indirectly,  of  securities  of  the  Company  representing 25.0% or more of the
Company's  then  outstanding securities having the right to vote in the election
of Directors of the Company, or (iv) during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who, at the beginning of such period constituted the entire Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board", and such individuals being referred to as
the  "Incumbent  Directors"),  cease  for  any  reason  (other  than  death)  to
constitute  a  majority of the Directors of the Company, unless the election, or
the nomination for election, by the Company's shareholders, of each new Director
of  the  Company  was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent
Directors  (so  long  as  such  new  Director  was not nominated by a person who
expressed  an intent to effect a change in control of the Company or engage in a
proxy  or  other  control  contest)  in  which  case  such new Director shall be
considered  an  Incumbent  Director.

     3.     TERMINATION  OF  EMPLOYMENT FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL. If a change
            -------------------------------------------------------
in control of the Company shall have occurred, Employee shall be entitled to the
benefits  provided  in  Section  4  hereof  upon  the  subsequent termination of
Employee's  employment, provided that such termination (a) occurs within two (2)
years following a change in control of the Company and (b) is not (i) because of
Employee's  death,  "Disability"  or  "Retirement"  (as  defined  in Section 3.1
below),  (ii)  by the Employer for "Cause" (as defined in Section 3.2 below), or
(iii)  by  Employee  other  than  for  "Good  Reason" (as defined in Section 3.3
hereof).

     3.1 Disability;  Retirement
         -----------------------

          3.1-1       If,  as  a result of Employee's incapacity due to physical
or  mental  illness, Employee shall have been absent from Employee's duties with
the  Employer on a full-time basis for 120 consecutive business days, and within
thirty (30) days after written notice of termination is given Employee shall not
have  returned  to  the full-time performance of Employee's duties, the Employer
may  terminate  Employee's  employment  for  "Disability."

          3.1-2       Termination  by Employee of Employee's employment based on
"Retirement" shall mean termination in accordance with the Employer's retirement
policy,  including  early  retirement,  generally  applicable  to  its  salaried
employees  or  in  accordance  with  any retirement arrangement established with
Employee's  consent  with  respect  to  Employee.

          3.2     Cause.  The  Employer  may terminate Employee's employment for
                  -----
"Cause."  For the purposes of this Agreement, the Employer shall have "Cause" to
terminate  Employee's  employment  hereunder  upon (A) the willful and continued
failure  by  Employee to perform Employee's duties with the Employer (other than
any  such  failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness),
after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Board
which  specifically  identifies  the  manner  in  which  the Board believes that
Employee  has  not substantially performed Employee's duties, or (B) the willful
engaging  by  Employee in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious
to  the  Company.  For purposes of this paragraph, an act, or failure to act, on
Employee's  part  shall  not  be  considered "willful" if done, or omitted to be
done,  by  Employee  (A)  in  good  faith  and  (B)  with reasonable belief that
Employee's  action  or  omission  was  not  opposed to the best interests of the
Company.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Employee shall not be deemed to have
been  terminated  for  Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less
than  two-thirds  (2/3d's) of the entire authorized membership of the Board at a
meeting  of  the  Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice
and  an  opportunity for Employee, together with counsel, to be heard before the
Board),  finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board Employee was guilty
of  conduct set forth above in clauses (A) or (B) of the second sentence of this
paragraph  and  specifying  the  particulars  thereof  in  detail.

          3.3     Good Reason.  Employee may terminate Employee's employment for
                  -----------
Good  Reason.    For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  "Good  Reason" shall mean:

               3.3-1  Without Employee's express written consent, the assignment
to  Employee  of  any  duties  inconsistent  with  Employee's positions, duties,
responsibilities  and status with the Employer and the Company immediately prior
to  a  change  in  control  of  the Company, or a change in Employee's reporting
responsibilities,  titles  or  offices  with  the  Employer or the Company as in
effect  immediately  prior to a change in control of the Company, or any removal
of  Employee  from or any failure to re-elect Employee to any of such positions,
except  in  connection  with the termination of Employee's employment for Cause,
Disability or Retirement or as a result of Employee's death or by Employee other
than  for  Good  Reason;

               3.3-2  A  reduction  by the Employer in Employee's base salary as
in  effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time;

               3.3-3  The  Employer's  requiring  Employee  to be based anywhere
other  than the Employer's offices at which Employee was based immediately prior
to  a  change  in  control  of  the  Company  except  for required travel on the
Employer's  business  to  an  extent  substantially  consistent  with Employee's
present  business  travel obligations, or, in the event Employee consents to any
relocation,  the  failure by the Employer to pay (or reimburse Employee) for all
reasonable  moving  expenses  incurred  by  Employee  relating  to  a  change of
Employee's  principal  residence  in  connection  with  such  relocation  and to
indemnify  Employee  against  any  loss  (defined  as the difference between the
actual  sale  price of such residence and the higher of (a) Employee's aggregate
investment  in  such residence or (b) the fair market value of such residence as
determined  by  a  real  estate  appraiser designated by Employee and reasonably
satisfactory  to  the  Employer)  realized  on  the sale of Employee's principal
residence  in  connection  with  any  such  change  of  residence;

               3.3-4  The  failure by the Employer or the Company to continue in
effect  any benefit or compensation plan (including but not limited to any stock
option  plans,  convertible  debenture  plan, pension plan, life insurance plan,
health  and accident plan or disability plan) in which Employee is participating
at  the  time  of  a  change  in  control  of  the  Company  (or plans providing
substantially similar benefits), the taking of any action by the Employer or the
Company  which  would adversely affect Employee's participation in or materially
reduce  Employee's  benefits  under any of such plans or deprive Employee of any
material fringe benefit enjoyed by Employee at the time of the change in control
of  the  Company,  or  the  failure by the Employer to provide Employee with the
number  of paid vacation days to which Employee is then entitled on the basis of
years  of  service  with  the  Employer in accordance with the Employer's normal
vacation  policy  in  effect  on  the  date  hereof;

               3.3-5  Any  failure  of the Employer or the Company to obtain the
assumption  of  and  the agreement to perform this Agreement by any successor as
contemplated  in  Section  6  hereof;  or

               3.3-6  Any  purported  termination of Employee's employment which
is  not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements
of  Section  3.4 below (and, if applicable, Section 3.2 above); and for purposes
of  this  Agreement,  no  such  purported  termination  shall  be  effective.

          3.4     Notice  of  Termination.  Any  termination  by  the  Employer
                  -----------------------
pursuant  to  Sections  3.1 and 3.2 above or by Employee pursuant to Section 3.3
above  shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto.  For  purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a
notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed  to  provide  a basis for termination of Employee's employment under the
provision  so  indicated.  In  the  event  that  Employee  seeks  to  terminate
Employee's  employment with the Employer pursuant to Section 3.3 above, Employee
must communicate Employee's written Notice of Termination to the Employer within
sixty  (60)  days of being notified of such action or actions by the Employer or
the  Company  which  constitute  Good  Reason  for  termination.

          3.5     Date  of  Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if
                  ---------------------
this  Agreement  is  terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of
Termination  is  given  (provided  that  Employee shall not have returned to the
performance  of  Employee's  duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30)
day  period); (ii) if Employee's employment is terminated for Cause, the date on
which  a  Notice  of  Termination is given or the date on which there shall have
been delivered to Employee the resolution specified in Section 3.2, whichever is
later;  (iii)  if  Employee's  employment  is terminated pursuant to Section 3.3
above,  the  date  that  is  specified in the Notice of Termination; and (iv) if
Employee's  employment  is  terminated for any other reason, the date on which a
Notice  of Termination is given; provided that, if within thirty (30) days after
any  Notice  of  Termination  is  given  the  party  receiving  such  Notice  of
Termination  notifies  the  other  party  that  a  dispute exists concerning the
termination,  the  Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is
finally  determined,  either  by  mutual  written agreement of the parties, by a
binding and final arbitration award or by a final judgment, order or decree of a
court  of  competent  jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired
and  no  appeal  having  been  perfected).

     4.     COMPENSATION  UPON TERMINATION OR DURING DISABILITY.  If a change in
            ---------------------------------------------------
control of the Company shall have occurred and the other conditions in the first
paragraph  of  Section  3  are met, Employee shall be entitled to the following:

          4.1  Disability.  During  any  period  that  Employee fails to perform
               ----------
Employee's  duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental
illness,  Employee  shall continue to receive Employee's full base salary at the
rate  then  in  effect and any installments of deferred portions of awards under
any  applicable  incentive,  bonus  or other plans paid during such period until
Employee's  employment  is terminated pursuant to Section 3 hereof.  Thereafter,
Employee's  benefits  in respect of Employee's disability shall be determined in
accordance  with the Employer's Long-Term Disability Income Insurance Plan, or a
substitute  plan,  and  any  other  plans  providing  for  the  disability  of a
participant  then  in  effect.

          4.2  Termination  for  Cause.  If  Employee's  employment  shall  be
               -----------------------
terminated  for  Cause,  the  Employer  shall  pay Employee Employee's full base
salary  through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice
of  Termination  is  given and the Employer shall have no further obligations to
Employee  to  make  any  payments  under  this  Agreement.

          4.3  Termination  Without  Cause;  Termination for Good Reason. If the
               ---------------------------------------------------------
Employer  shall  terminate Employee's employment other than pursuant to Sections
3.1  or 3.2 hereof or if Employee shall terminate Employee's employment for Good
Reason,  then  the Employer shall pay to Employee as severance pay in a lump sum
in  cash  not later than the tenth (10th) day following the Date of Termination,
the  following  amounts:

               4.3-1  Employee's  full  base  salary  through  the  Date  of
Termination at the rate in effect at the time of Notice of Termination is given;

               4.3-2  In  lieu  of  any  further  salary  or  bonus  payments to
Employee  for  periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, an amount equal to
the  product  of  (a) the number two (2) times (b) the sum of (i) the highest of
Employee's annual base salary in effect at any time from the two years prior to,
through  and including, the Date of Termination plus (ii) the greater of (x) the
highest  of the aggregate bonuses paid to Employee during any fiscal year all or
a  part of which was included in the foregoing two year period and (y) 15% times
the  highest of Employee's annual base salary in effect at any time from the two
years  prior  to,  through and including, the Date of Termination plus (iii) the
highest of the aggregate contributions made by the Employer on Employee's behalf
in  respect  of  Employee's  participation  in  any  401(k) plan or plans of the
Employer  during  any  fiscal  year  all  or a part of which was included in the
foregoing  two  year  period;

               4.3-3  In  lieu  of  ordinary  shares  of  the  Company ("Company
Shares")  issuable  upon  exercise  of  options  ("Options"), if any, granted to
Employee under the Company's stock option plans (which Options shall be canceled
upon  the  making  of  the payment referred to below), Employee shall receive an
amount  in cash equal to the aggregate spread between the exercise prices of all
Options  held by Employee whether or not then fully exercisable, and the highest
price  per  Company Share actually paid in connection with any change in control
of the Company (such price being hereinafter referred to as "Termination Price")
and  the  Employer  shall,  if  requested  by  Employee, purchase all Debentures
(herein  so  called)  theretofore  purchased  by  Employee  under  the Company's
convertible  debenture  plans,  regardless  of  whether such Debentures are then
convertible,  in  cash  in  an  amount equal to the aggregate spread between the
conversion  price  of  the Debentures held by Employee and the Termination Price
times  the  number  of  Company Shares into which the Debentures are convertible
(assuming  such  Debentures  were  fully  vested);  and

               4.3-4  All  relocation  and  indemnity  payments  as set forth in
Section  3.3-4 hereof, and all legal fees and expenses incurred by Employee as a
result  of  such  termination  (including  all  such  fees and expenses, if any,
incurred in contesting or disputing any such termination or in seeking to obtain
or  enforce  any  right  or  benefit  provided  by  this  Agreement).

          4.4     Benefit  Plans.  Unless  Employee is terminated for Cause, the
                  --------------
Employer  shall  maintain  in full force and effect for the continued benefit of
Employee,  for  a  two-year  period  after the Date of Termination, all employee
benefit  plans  and  programs  or arrangements in which Employee was entitled to
participate  immediately prior to the Date of Termination (at no greater cost or
expense to Employee than was the case immediately prior to the change in control
of  the  Company), including without limitation plans providing medical, dental,
life  and  disability  insurance  coverage,  provided  that Employee's continued
participation  is  possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans
and  programs.  In  the  event that Employee's participation in any such plan or
program  is not possible, the Employer shall arrange to provide Employee, at the
Employer's  cost and expense, with benefits substantially similar to those which
Employee  is  entitled  to receive under such plans and programs.  At the end of
the  period  of  coverage,  Employee  shall  have the option to have assigned to
Employee  at no cost and with no appointment of prepaid premiums, any assignable
insurance  policy owned by the Employer or the Company and relating specifically
to  Employee.

          4.5  Additional  Benefits.  If the Employer shall terminate Employee's
               --------------------
employment other than pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 hereof or if Employee shall
terminate  Employee's  employment  for  Good  Reason,  then  in  addition to the
benefits to which Employee is entitled under the retirement plans or programs in
which  Employee participates or any successor plans or programs in effect on the
date  of  termination of Employee's employment hereunder, the Employer shall pay
Employee, not later than the tenth (10th) day following the Date of Termination,
in  cash  an amount equal to the difference between (a) the present value of the
most  valuable  retirement  pension  to  which Employee would have been entitled
under  the  terms  of  the  retirement  plans  or  programs  in  which  Employee
participates  (or  any  successor  plans  or  programs  in effect on the Date of
Termination hereunder) without regard to "vesting" thereunder, if Employee would
have accumulated three (3) additional years of continuous credited service after
the  Date  of  Termination  under  such retirement plans or programs and (b) the
present value of the most valuable retirement pension which Employee is actually
entitled  to  receive  pursuant  to  the provisions of said retirement plans and
programs.  For purposes of this Section 4.5, "present value" shall be determined
using  the  same  methods  and  assumptions  (including  compensation  increase
assumptions  during  such  additional  three  year  period)  utilized  under the
Employer's  retirement  plans  and  programs  immediately prior to the change in
control  of  the  Company.

          4.6     Automobiles.  Upon  Employee's termination for any reason, the
                  -----------
Employer  shall  enable  Employee  to purchase the automobile, if any, which the
Employer  or  the Company was providing for Employee's use at the time Notice of
Termination  was  given  at the wholesale value of such automobile at such time.

          4.7     Mitigation  of  Amounts Payable Hereunder.  Employee shall not
                  -----------------------------------------
be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 4
by  seeking  other  employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment
provided for in this Section 4 be reduced by any compensation earned by Employee
as  the  result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination,
or  otherwise.

Prior  to  the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the termination
of  employment  of  Employee,  and  any  payments or benefits in respect of such
termination, shall be governed by the policies and plans of the Employer and the
Company  in  effect  at  the  time  of  termination.

     5.   EXCISE  TAXES.
          -------------

          5.1     In  the  event  that  any payment or benefit received or to be
received  by  Employee  pursuant  to  the terms of this Agreement (the "Contract
Payments")  or  in  connection  with  Employee's  termination  of  employment or
contingent  upon  a  change  in  control  of the Company pursuant to any plan or
arrangement  or  other  agreement  with  the  Employer  or  the  Company (or any
affiliate)  ("Other  Payments"  and,  together  with  the Contract Payments, the
"Payments"),  would  be subject to the excise tax (the "Excise Tax"), imposed by
Section  4999  of  the Code, as determined as provided below, the Employer shall
pay  to  Employee,  at  the  time  specified in Section 5.2 below, an additional
amount  (the  "Gross-Up Payment") such that the net amount retained by Employee,
after  deduction  of  the Excise Tax on Contract Payments and Other Payments and
any federal, state and local income or other tax and Excise Tax upon the payment
provided  for  by  this Section 5.1, and any interest, penalties or additions to
tax  payable  by  Employee  with  respect  thereto,  shall be equal to the total
present  value  of  the  Contract  Payments  and Other Payments at the time such
Payments  are  to  be  made.  For  purposes  of  determining  whether any of the
Payments  will  be subject to the Excise Tax and the amounts of such Excise Tax,
(1)  the  total  amount of the Payments shall be treated as "parachute payments"
within  the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all "excess parachute
payments"  within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated
as  subject  to  the  Excise  Tax,  except to the extent that, in the opinion of
independent  tax  counsel  selected  by  the Employer's independent auditors and
reasonably  acceptable  to  Employee  ("Tax Counsel"), a Payment (in whole or in
part)  does  not  constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(2)  of  the  Code,  or  such "excess parachute payments" (in whole or in
part)  are  not  subject  to the Excise Tax, (2) the amount of the Payments that
shall  be  treated as subject  to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of
(A)  the  total  amount  of  the Payments or (B) the amount of "excess parachute
payments"  within  the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (after applying
clause  (1)  hereof),  and (3) the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred
payment  or  benefit  shall  be determined by Tax Counsel in accordance with the
principles  of  Section  280G(d)(3)  and  (4)  of  the  Code.  For  purposes  of
determining  the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Employee shall be deemed to pay
federal  income  tax  at  the  highest marginal rates of federal income taxation
applicable  to individuals in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is
to  be  made  and state and local income taxes at the highest effective rates of
taxation  applicable  to  Employee  in  the  calendar year in which the Gross-Up
Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that
can  be  obtained  from  deduction  of  such  state and local taxes, taking into
account  any limitations applicable to individuals subject to federal income tax
at  the  highest  marginal  rates.

          5.2     Gross-Up  Payments provided for in Section 5.1 hereof shall be
made  upon the earlier of (i) the payment to Employee of any Contract Payment or
Other Payment or (ii) the imposition upon Employee or payment by Employee of any
Excise  Tax.

          5.3     The Employee shall notify the Employer in writing of any claim
by  the  Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment
by the Employer of a Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification shall be given as soon
as practicable but no later than 20 business days after the Employee is informed
in  writing  of  such claim and shall apprise the Employer of the nature of such
claim  and  the  date on which such claim is requested to be paid.  The Employee
shall  not pay such claim prior to expiration of the 30 day period following the
date  on  which  the Employee gives such notice to the Employer (or such shorter
period  ending  on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim
is  due).  If  the  Employer  notifies  the  Employee  in  writing  prior to the
expiration  of  such  period  that it desires to contest such claim the Employee
shall:

          i)   give  the  Employer any information reasonably requested by the
Employer  relating  to  such  claim;

          ii)  take  such  action in connection with contesting such claim as
the  Employer  shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including,
without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by
an  attorney  reasonably selected by the Employer and reasonably satisfactory to
the  Employee;

         iii)  cooperate with the Employer in good faith in order to effectively
contest such claim; and

          iv)  permit the Employer to participate in any proceedings relating to
such claim;

provided,  however, that the Employer shall bear and pay directly all costs
and  expenses  (including, but not limited to, additional interest and penalties
and related legal, consulting or other similar fees) incurred in connection with
such  contest,  and  shall  indemnify  and  hold  the  Employee  harmless, on an
after-tax  basis,  for  any  Excise  Tax  or  other  tax (including interest and
penalties  with  respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and
payment  of  costs  and  expenses.

          5.4     The Employer shall control all proceedings taken in connection
with  such  contest  and,  at  its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all
administrative  appeals,  proceedings,  hearings and conferences with the taxing
authority  in  respect  of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct
the Employee to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in
any  permissible  manner, and the Employee agrees to prosecute such contest to a
determination  before  any  administrative  tribunal,  in  a  court  of  initial
jurisdiction  and  in  one  or  more  appellate  courts,  as  the Employer shall
reasonably  determine;  provided,  however,  that  if  the  Employer directs the
Employee  to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Employer shall advance the
amount  of  such  payment  to  the  Employee on a interest-free basis, and shall
indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise
Tax  or other tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed
with respect  to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect
to  such  advance;  and  provided,  further, that if the Employee is required to
extend  the statute of limitations to enable the Employer to contest such claim,
the  Employee  may  limit  this  extension solely to such contested amount.  The
Employer's  control  of  the  contest shall be limited to issues with respect to
which  a  Gross-Up  Payment would be payable hereunder and the Employee shall be
entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
Internal  Revenue  Service  or  any  other  taxing  authority.  In  addition, no
position  may  be  taken  nor  any final resolution be agreed to by the Employer
without  the  Employee's consent if such position or resolution could reasonably
be  expected  to adversely affect the Employee (including any other tax position
of  the  Employee  unrelated  to  the  matters  covered  hereby).

          5.5     As  a  result of the uncertainty in the application of Section
4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Employer or the
Tax Counsel hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have
been  made  by  the  Employer should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent
with  the  calculations  required  to  be  made hereunder  In the event that the
Employer exhausts its remedies and the Employee thereafter is required to pay to
the  Internal Revenue Service an additional amount in respect of any Excise Tax,
the  Employer  or the Tax Counsel shall determine the amount of the Underpayment
that  has  occurred  and  any  such  Underpayment shall promptly  be paid by the
Employer  to  or  for  the  benefit  of  the  Employee.

          5.6     If,  after  the receipt by Employee of the Gross-Up Payment or
an  amount  advanced by the Employer in connection with the contest of an Excise
Tax  claim,  the Employee becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to
such  claim,  the Employee shall promptly pay to the Employer the amount of such
refund  (together  with  any  interest  paid  or  credited  thereon  after taxes
applicable  thereto).  If,  after  the  receipt  by  the  Employee  of an amount
advanced by the Employer in connection with an Excise Tax claim, a determination
is  made  that Employee shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such
claim  and the Employer does not notify the Employee in writing of its intent to
contest  the denial of such refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
determination,  such  advance  shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be
repaid.

     6.   SUCCESSORS;  BINDING  AGREEMENT.
          -------------------------------

          6.1  Successors  of  the  Company.  The  Employer and the Company will
               ----------------------------
require  any  successor  (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, amalgamation,
merger,  consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
and/or  assets  of  the  Employer  and/or  the Company, by agreement in form and
substance  satisfactory  to  Employee,  expressly to assume and agree to perform
this  Agreement  in the same manner and to the same extent that the Employer and
the  Company  would  be  required  to perform it if no such succession had taken
place.  Failure  of  the Employer and the Company to obtain such agreement prior
to  the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement
and  shall entitle Employee to compensation from the Employer in the same amount
and  on  the  same  terms  as  Employee  would be entitled hereunder if Employee
terminated  Employee's  employment  for Good Reason, except that for purposes of
implementing  the  foregoing,  the  date  on  which  any such succession becomes
effective  shall  be  deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement,
the  terms,  "Employer"  and  "the  Company", shall include any successor to the
business  and/or  assets  of  the Employer and/or the Company as aforesaid which
executes  and  delivers  the  agreement  provided for in this Section 6 or which
otherwise  becomes  bound  by  all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
operation  of  law.

          6.2  Employee's Heirs, etc.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
               ----------------------
of  and  be  enforceable  by  Employee's  personal  or  legal  representatives,
executors,  administrators,  successors,  heirs,  distributees,  devisees  and
legatees.  If  Employee  should  die while any amounts would still be payable to
Employee  hereunder  as  if  Employee  had  continued to live, all such amounts,
unless  otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement to Employee's devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be
no  such  designee,  to  Employee's  estate.

     7.     NOTICE.  For  the  purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
            ------
communications  provided  for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed  to  have  been  duly  given  when  delivered  or mailed by United States
registered  mail,  return  receipt  requested,  postage prepaid, or by overnight
courier  service. All notices to the Employer shall be directed to the attention
of  the  Chief Executive Officer of the Employer with a copy to the Secretary of
the  Employer,  at  6688 N. Central Expressway, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75206,
and all notices to the Company shall be directed to the President of the Company
in  care  of  the  Employer  at  such  address. All notices to Employee shall be
directed  to  the address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement. Any
party  to  this  Agreement  may  change  the address for notice by specifying in
writing  such  new  address  pursuant  to  a notice duly delivered in accordance
herewith,  except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon
receipt.

     8.     MISCELLANEOUS.  No  provisions  of  this  Agreement may be modified,
            -------------
waived  or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in  writing  signed  by  Employee,  the  Employer and the Company.  No waiver by
either  party  hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by
such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions  at  the  same  or at any prior or subsequent time.  No agreements or
representations,  oral  or  otherwise,  express  or implied, with respect to the
subject  matter  hereof  have  been made by either party which are not set forth
expressly  in this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of
the  parties  regarding  the  subject  matter  hereof,  and supersedes all prior
agreements  and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any
of  them,  with  respect  to  the  subject  matter  hereof.

     9.     VALIDITY.  The  invalidity  or unenforceability of any provisions of
            --------
this  Agreement  shall  not  effect  the validity or enforceability of any other
provision  of  this  Agreement,  which  shall  remain  in full force and effect.

     10.     COUNTERPARTS.  This  Agreement  may  be  executed  in  one  or more
             ------------
counterparts,  each  of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
together  will  constitute  one  and  the  same  instrument.

     11.     GOVERNING  LAW;  JURISDICTION.  This Agreement shall be governed by
             -----------------------------
and construed under the laws of the State of Texas. The Employer and the Company
hereby  irrevocably  submit  to  the  jurisdiction of any Texas State or Federal
court  sitting  in  the  Northern District of Texas, and the jurisdiction of any
arbitration  panel  constituted  pursuant to Section 12 hereof, over any action,
proceeding  or  arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the
Employer  and the Company hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of
such  action  or  proceeding  may be heard and determined in such Texas State or
Federal  court  or  arbitration  proceeding.

     12.     ARBITRATION.  Any  dispute  or  controversy  arising  under  or  in
             -----------
connection  with  this  Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in
Dallas,  Texas  (in  accordance  with  the  rules  of  the  American Arbitration
Association  then  in effect).  Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute
or  controversy,  the  Employer  will  continue  to pay Employee Employee's full
compensation  in  effect  when  the  notice giving rise to the dispute was given
(including,  but  not  limited to, base salary and installments under incentive,
bonus  or  other  plans)  and  continue  Employee  as  a  participant  in  all
compensation,  benefit  and  insurance plans in which Employee was participating
when  the  notice  giving  rise  to  the dispute was given, until the dispute is
finally resolved in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof.  Amounts paid under this
paragraph  are  in  addition  to  all other amounts due under this Agreement and
shall  not  be  offset  against  or  reduce  any  other  amounts  due under this
Agreement.  Judgment  may  be  entered  on  the  arbitrator's award in any court
having  jurisdiction; provided, however, that Employee shall be entitled to seek
specific  performance  of  Employee's  right  to  be  paid  until  the  Date  of
Termination  during  the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or
in  connection  with  this  Agreement.

     13.  CAPTIONS  AND GENDER.  The use of captions and Section headings herein
          --------------------
is  for the purposes of convenience only and shall not effect the interpretation
or  substance  of  any  provisions  contained herein.  Similarly, the use of the
masculine  gender  with respect to pronouns in this Agreement is for purposes of
convenience  and  includes  either  sex  who  may  be  a  signatory.

     14.  LEGAL  FEES.  The Employer shall pay Employee, no less frequently than
          -----------
monthly,  all  legal  fees  and  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by  Employee in
connection  with  this  Agreement (including all such fees and expenses, if any,
incurred  in  contesting  or  disputing  the  nature of any such termination for
purposes  of  this  Agreement  or  in  seeking to obtain or enforce any right or
benefit  provided  by  this Agreement, but excluding any legal fees and expenses
relating to a claim brought by Employee that a court has determined (in a final,
non-appealable  judgment)  to  be  brought  in  bad  faith).

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have signed this Agreement as of the
date  and  year  first  above  written.

JOINDER OF THE COMPANY

     The Company hereby joins in this Agreement for the purpose of guaranteeing,
and  the  Company does hereby unconditionally guarantee, to Employee the due and
prompt  performance  by  the Employer, or its successors and assigns as provided
herein  (the  "Obligor") of the Obligor's obligations hereunder and covenanting,
and  the  Company  does  hereby  covenant,  with  Employee  to  be  bound by the
agreements  of  the  Company  as set forth herein. In case of the failure of the
Obligor to punctually perform any obligation under this Agreement, including the
making  of  any  payment  hereunder, the Company hereby agrees to cause any such
obligation  to  be  promptly  performed  when  and as the same shall be due. The
Company  hereby  agrees  that  its  obligations hereunder shall be as if it were
principal  obligor  and  not  merely  surety,  and  shall  be  absolute  and
unconditional,  irrespective  of,  and  shall  be unaffected by, any invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement, any failure
to  enforce  the  provisions  of  this Agreement, or any waiver, modification or
indulgence  granted to the Obligor with respect thereto, by the Employee, or any
other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
of  a  surety  or  guarantor.  The Company hereby waives diligence, presentment,
demand,  any  right  to  require a proceeding first against the Obligor, and all
demands whatsoever, and covenants that its obligations under this Agreement will
not  be  discharged  except  by performance in full of the Obligor's obligations
hereunder. The agreements of the Company hereunder shall inure to the benefit of
and  be  enforceable by Employee's personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators,  successors,  heirs,  distributees,  devisees  and  legatees.

                                    PREAMBLE

The  purpose  of  this Plan and Trust is to provide, in accordance with its
provisions,  a  defined contribution plan providing retirement and other related
benefits  for  those  Employees  of the Employer who are eligible to participate
hereunder.

It  is  intended  that the Plan qualify for approval under Internal Revenue Code
Section  401(a).  It  is  intended  that the Trust be exempt from taxation under
Code  Section  501(a).  It  is  further  intended  that the Plan comply with the
provisions  of  the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

This Plan and Trust is exclusively for the benefit of the eligible Employees and
their  Beneficiaries.

This  document is a complete amendment and restatement of the Triton Exploration
Services,  Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan which was established effective May 31, 1976
as  the  Triton  Energy  Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan, was restated
effective  January 1, 1994 as the Triton Energy Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan,
and  was  renamed,  effective  January  1,  1997,  to  be the Triton Exploration
Services,  Inc.  401(k)  Savings  Plan.

The  undersigned Plan Sponsor hereby adopts this amendment and restatement to be
effective  June  1,  2000,  except as specified elsewhere in this document or as
required  to  have  an  earlier  effective  date  by  applicable  statute and/or
regulation.

The  provisions  of  the  Plan, as amended and restated, will apply solely to an
Employee  who is an Active Employee on or after the restated Effective Date.  If
an  Employee  terminates  employment  with  the  Employer  prior to the restated
Effective  Date,  that  Employee will be entitled to benefits under the terms of
the  Plan  that were in effect as of the date the Employee terminated employment
with  the  Employer.

                                   DEFINITIONS

As  used  in this document, unless otherwise defined or required by the context,
the  following terms have the meanings set forth in this Article 1.  Some of the
terms  used  in  this document are not defined in Article 1, but for convenience
are  defined  as  they  are  introduced  in  the  text.

1.01  ACCOUNT

Account  means  a  separate  account  maintained for each Participant reflecting
applicable  contributions,  applicable  forfeitures,  investment  income or loss
allocated  to  the  account,  and  distributions.

1.02  ACCRUED  BENEFIT

A  Participant's  Accrued  Benefit  means  the  total  value  of his Account(s).

A Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit is equal to his Vested Percentage of that
portion of his Accrued Benefit that is subject to the Vesting Schedule plus 100%
of  the  remaining  portion  of  his  Accrued  Benefit.

1.03  BENEFICIARY

Beneficiary means the person, persons, trust or other entity who is designated
to receive any amount payable upon the death of a Participant.

1.04  CODE

Code  means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to
time, and all regulations issued thereunder.  Reference to a section of the Code
includes  that  section  and  any  comparable  section or sections of any future
legislation  that  amends,  supplements  or  supersedes  such  section  and  any
regulations  issued  thereunder.

1.05  COMPENSATION

Except  where otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, Compensation means a
Participant's  earned  income,  wages,  salaries,  and  fees  for  professional
services,  and other amounts received for personal services actually rendered in
the  course  of  employment  with  the  Employer,  excluding  the  following:

(a)     Compensation  classified  by  the  Employer  as    severance  pay.

(b)     Employer  contributions to a plan of deferred compensation which are not
included  in  the  Employee's  gross  income  for  the  taxable  year  in  which
contributed  or  employer contributions under a simplified employee pension plan
to  the  extent  the  contributions  are  deductible  by  the  Employee,  or any
distributions  from  a  plan  of  deferred  compensation;

(c)     Amounts  realized  from  the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, or
when  restricted  stock (or property) held by the Employee either becomes freely
transferable  or  is  no  longer  subject  to  a substantial risk of forfeiture;

(d)     Amounts  realized  from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock
acquired  under  a  qualified  stock  option;  and

(e)     Other amounts which received special tax benefits, or contributions made
by  the  Employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) toward the
purchase  of  an  annuity  described  in Code Section 403(b) (whether or not the
amounts  are  actually  excludable  from  the  gross  income  of  the Employee).

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  compensation  also  includes  any  amounts
contributed  by  the  Employer  on  behalf  of any Employee pursuant to a salary
reduction agreement which are not includable in the gross income of the Employee
due  to  Code  Sections  125,  402(e)(3),  402(h),  402(k)  or  403(b).

For purposes of calculating contributions to the Plan pursuant to Article 3, the
period  used  to  determine  an  Employee's Compensation for a Plan Year will be
limited to that portion of the Plan Year in which the Employee was a Participant
in  the  Plan.

For  purposes  of  testing  for  compliance  with  the  nondiscrimination  in
contributions  requirements  of  Code Section 401(a)(4) and the minimum coverage
requirements  of Code Section 410(b), the period used to determine an Employee's
Compensation  for a Plan Year may be limited to that portion of the Plan Year in
which  the  Employee  was  a  Participant  in  the Plan, provided that, for such
purpose,  this  method  is applied uniformly to all Eligible Employees under the
Plan  for  the  Plan  Year.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  period  used  to  determine an Employee's
Compensation  is  defined  in  Section 10.03(c) for purposes of computing Annual
Additions  under  Code  Section  415;  in  Section  11.02(b)(3)  for purposes of
nondiscrimination  testing  under  Code  Sections  401(k) and 401(m); in Section
11.01(a)  for  purposes of determining who is a Highly Compensated Employee; and
in  Section  12.01(d)  for  purposes  of  determining  who  is  a  Key Employee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for all purposes under this Plan, Compensation in
excess  of  the  Statutory  Compensation  Limit  will be disregarded.  Statutory
Compensation  Limit  means  $170,000  (for  Plan  Years  beginning  in 2000), as
adjusted  in  subsequent  years  in  accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B).

1.06   EFFECTIVE  DATE

The  Effective  Date  of  the  Plan  is  May  31,  1976.

Except as otherwise specified in this document or as required to have an earlier
effective  date  by applicable statute and/or regulations, the effective date of
this  restatement  of  the  Plan  is  June  1, 2000.  Sections 1.11 and 2.01 are
effective  January  1,  2000.

1.07  ELIGIBLE  EMPLOYEE  CLASSIFICATION

An  Eligible  Employee  Classification  is  a  classification  of Employees, the
members  of  which are eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Plan covers all
employee  classifications  except  Leased  Employees,  workers classified by the
Employer  as  Independent  Contractors,  Employees classified by the Employer as
Temporary  Employees,  Interns,  and  Employees  whose  terms  of employment are
governed  by  a  collective bargaining agreement (unless such agreement provides

1.08  EMPLOYEE

(a) IN GENERAL

basis  for  a  period of at least one year and such services are performed under
the  primary  direction  or  control  of  the  Recipient  Employer.

Any  Leased  Employee  will be treated as an Employee of the Recipient Employer;
however,  contributions  or  benefits provided by the leasing organization which
are  attributable  to  the services performed for the Recipient Employer will be
treated  as  provided  by  the  Recipient  Employer.  If  all  Leased  Employees
constitute  less  than  20%  of the Employer's non-highly-compensated work force
within the meaning of Code Section 414(n)(1)(C)(ii), then the preceding sentence
will  not  apply  to  any Leased Employee if such Employee is covered by a money
purchase pension plan which provides:  (1) a nonintegrated Employer contribution
rate  of at least 10% of compensation, (2) immediate participation, and (3) full
and  immediate  vesting  (a  "Safe  Harbor  Plan").

the  Participant's  employment.

A  Forfeiture  is  considered  to occur as of the earlier of (a) the date of the
occurrence  of  the fifth of 5 consecutive One Year Breaks-in-Service or (b) the
date a Cash-Out Distribution occurs in accordance with the provisions of Section
7.06(b).

1.15  HOUR  OF  SERVICE

An  Hour  of  Service  means:

(a)     Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the
performance  of  duties  for  the Employer.  These hours will be credited to the
Employee  for  the  computation  period  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, qualified military service or leave of absence.  No more than 501 Hours of
Service  will  be  credited  under this paragraph for any 12-month period. Hours
under  this  paragraph  will  be  calculated  and  credited  pursuant to Section
2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor Regulations which are incorporated herein
by  this  reference;  and

(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 will not
be credited both under paragraphs (a) or (b), as the case may be, and under this
paragraph (c).  These hours will be credited to the Employee for the computation
period  or  periods  to  which  the  award or agreement pertains rather than the
computation  period  in  which  the  award,  agreement  or  payment  is  made.

Hours  of  Service  for  all Employees will be determined on the basis of actual
hours for which an Employee is paid or is entitled to payment.  Hours of Service
will  be  credited  for  employment with any Related Employer or any Predecessor
Employer.  Hours  of  Service  will be credited for any individual considered an
employee  under  Code  Section  414(m) or 414(n) and the regulations thereunder.

Solely  for  purposes  of  determining  whether  a One Year Break-in-Service has
occurred,  a  Participant  who  is  absent  from  work on an authorized Leave of
Absence  or by reason of the Participant's pregnancy, birth of the Participant's
child, placement of a child with the Participant in connection with the adoption
of  such  child,  or  for  the  purpose  of  caring  for such child for a period
immediately following such birth or placement, will receive credit for the Hours
of  Service  which otherwise would have been credited to the Participant but for
such  absence.  The  Hours  of  Service  credited  under  this paragraph will be
credited  in  the  Plan  Year  in  which the absence begins if such crediting is
necessary  to  prevent a One Year Break-in-Service in such Plan Year; otherwise,
such Hours of Service will be credited in the following Plan Year.  The Hours of
Service  credited  under this paragraph are those which would normally have been
credited  but  for such absence.  In any case in which the Plan Administrator is
unable  to  determine  such  hours normally credited, 8 Hours of Service per day
will be credited.  No more than 501 Hours of Service will be credited under this
paragraph  for  any  12-month  period.

The Date of Severance is the second anniversary of the date on which the absence
begins.  The  period  between  the  initial  date  of  absence  and  the  first
anniversary  of the initial date of absence is deemed to be a period of Service.
The  period  between  the  first and second anniversaries of the initial date of
absence  is  neither  a  period  of  service  nor  a  period  of  severance.

1.16  LEAVE  OF  ABSENCE

An  authorized  Leave  of  Absence  means  a  period of time of one year or less
granted  to  an  Employee  by  the  Employer  due  to illness, injury, temporary
reduction  in  work force, or other appropriate cause or due to military service
during  which  the Employee's reemployment rights are protected by law, provided
the  Employee returns to the service of the Employer on or before the expiration
of  such  leave,  or  in  the  case  of  military  service,  within the time his
reemployment  rights  are  so  protected or within 60 days of his discharge from
military  service  if  no  federal  law is applicable.  All authorized Leaves of
Absence are granted or denied by the Employer in a uniform and nondiscriminatory
manner,  treating  Employees  in  similar  circumstances  in  a  like  manner.

If  the  Participant  does  not return to active service with the Employer on or
prior to the expiration of his authorized Leave of Absence he will be considered
to  have  had  a  Date  of  Severance as of the earlier of the date on which his
authorized  Leave  of Absence expired, the first anniversary of the last date he
worked  at  least  one  hour  as  an Active Participant, or the date on which he
resigned  or  was  discharged.

Years of Service for purposes of computing a Participant's Vested Percentage are

paternity  reasons  (pregnancy  or  birth  of  a child of such individual or the
adoption  of a child by such individual or for purposes of caring for such child
immediately after birth or adoption) the Date of Severance (Termination) will be
the first anniversary of the date such absence began and if the absence is for a
period  of  more  than  12  months,  the  12-month  period  following  the first
anniversary  of  the  date such absence began will not be treated as a period of
Service  or  a  Period  of  Severance.

who  is  reemployed by the Employer after a period of Qualified Military Service
as  defined in Chapter 43 of Title 38, United States Code and who is entitled to

year  by reason of participation in a Cash or Deferred Arrangement maintained by
another  employer  or  employers,  and if the Participant requests that the Plan

and  certifies  that  the  requested  amount  is  an  Excess  Deferral, the Plan
Administrator  will  designate  the  amount  requested  together with the income

of  all  eligible Participants' Triton Matching Contributions for the Plan Year.

For  a  given  Plan  Year  a Participant is eligible to receive an allocation of
Supplemental  Triton Matching Contributions if he is employed on the last day of
the  Plan Year, or terminates employment during the Plan Year due to retirement,
disability  or  death.

(d) APPLICATION  OF  FORFEITURES

Forfeitures  from  a  Participant's  Triton Matching Account will be used to pay
Plan  expenses or reduce Triton Matching Contributions in the Plan Year in which
the  Forfeitures  are  determined  to  occur.

3.05  ROLLOVER ACCOUNT

  (a)  GENERAL

Rollover  Account  means  the  Account  of  a  Participant  reflecting  Rollover
contributions, investment income or loss allocated thereto and distributions.  A
Participant's  Rollover  Account  is  100%  vested  at  all  times.

(b)   ROLLOVER    CONTRIBUTION
Rollover  Contribution  means  a contribution to the Plan by a Participant where
such  contribution  is  the  result  of  a prior distribution from an Individual
Retirement  Account, an Individual Retirement Annuity or another qualified plan.
Such  prior  contribution  must be  a rollover amount described in Code Section
402(c)(4)  or  a  contribution  described  in  Code  Section  408(d)(3).

Each Employee who is a member of an Eligible Employee Classification, regardless
of  whether  he  is  a  Participant  in  the Plan, will have the right to make a
Rollover  Contribution  of  cash  (or other property of a form acceptable to the
Plan  Administrator  and the Trustee) into the Plan from another qualified plan.
If  the  Employee  is  not  a  Participant  hereunder, his Rollover Account will
constitute  his  entire  interest  in  the  Plan.

An  Employee  who  has  a  balance  in  his Rollover Account will be eligible to
participate in any in-service withdrawal benefit pertaining to Rollover Accounts
subject  to  Section 5.02, and may initiate a participant loan from his Rollover
account  subject to the provisions of Article 6.  In no event will the existence
of  a  Rollover Account entitle the Employee to participate in any other benefit
provided  by  the  Plan prior to the time when he becomes an Active Participant.

3.06  PRIOR PLAN ACCOUNT

  (a)  GENERAL

Prior  Plan  Account  means  the Account or Accounts of a Participant reflecting
ESOP  contributions  to the Plan.  A Participant's Prior Plan Account is subject
to  the  Vesting  Schedule.  The  last ESOP Contribution to the Plan was for the
Plan  Year  Ending  May  31,  1993.

(b)   APPLICATION  OF  FORFEITURES
Forfeitures  from  a  Participant's  Prior Plan Account will be used to pay Plan
expenses  or  reduce Triton Matching Contributions in the Plan Year in which the
Forfeitures  are  determined  to  occur.

                                    ARTICLE 4

                            ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION

4.01  GENERAL  POWERS  OF  THE  PLAN  ADMINISTRATOR

The  Plan  Administrator  will have the power to establish rules and guidelines,
which  will  be  applied  on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis, as it deems
necessary,  desirable or appropriate with regard to accounting procedures and to
the  timing  and  method  of  contributions to and/or withdrawals from the Plan.

4.02   DIRECTION  OF  INVESTMENT

(a) APPLICATION  OF  THIS  SECTION

Subject  to the provisions of this Section, each Participant will have the right
to direct the investment of all of his Accounts among the Investment Funds which
are  made  available  by  the  Plan  Administrator.

(b)  INVESTMENT  FUND

An  Investment  Fund  means any portion of the assets of the Trust Fund that the
Plan  Administrator  designates  as  an  Investment  Fund  in  a manner and form
acceptable  to the Trustee, and for which the Plan Administrator maintains a set
of  accounts  separate  from  the  remaining  assets  of  the  Trust  Fund.

(c)  GENERAL  POWERS  OF  THE  PLAN  ADMINISTRATOR

The  Plan Administrator will have the power to establish rules and guidelines as
it  deems  necessary,  desirable  or  appropriate  with  regard  to the directed
investment  of  contributions  in  accordance with this Section.  Such rules and
guidelines  are  intended  to  comply  with  Section  404(c)  of  ERISA  and the
regulations  thereunder.  Included in such powers, but not by way of limitation,
are  the  following  powers  and  rights.

(1)     To  direct  the  Trustee to temporarily invest those contributions which
are pending directed investment in an Investment Fund or in some other manner as
determined  by  the  Plan  Administrator.

(2)     To establish rules with regard to the transfer of all or any part of the
balance  of  an  Account  or Accounts of a given Participant from one Investment
Fund  to  another.

(3)     Direct  the Trustee to maintain any part of the assets of any Investment
Fund in cash, or in demand or short-term time deposits bearing a reasonable rate
of interest, or in a short-term investment fund that provides for the collective
investment  of  cash  balances  or  in  other  cash  equivalents  having  ready
marketability,  including,  but  not limited to, U.S. Treasury Bills, commercial
paper,  certificates  of  deposit,  and  similar types of short-term securities.

(4)     To  temporarily  suspend  the  ability  of  Participants to redirect the
investment  of  their  Accounts  during a transfer of assets between trustees or
custodians,  during the replacement of funds within the Trust, or at other times
deemed  necessary  with  respect  to  the  administration  of  the  Plan.

Neither  the Trustee nor the Plan Administrator will be liable for any loss that
results  from  a  Participant's  exercise  of control over the investment of the
Participant's  Accounts.  If  the  Participant  fails  to  provide  adequate
directions,  the  Plan  Administrator  will  direct  the  investment  of  the
Participant's  Account.

(d) ACCOUNTING

The Plan Administrator will maintain a set of accounts for each Investment Fund.
The  accounts  of  the Plan Administrator for each Investment Fund will indicate
separately  the dollar amounts of all contributions made to such Investment Fund
by  or  on behalf of each Participant from time to time.  The Plan Administrator
will compute the net income from investments; net profits or losses arising from
the  sale, exchange, redemption, or other disposition of assets, and the prorata
share attributable to each Investment Fund of the expenses of the administration
of the Plan and Trust and will debit or credit, as the case may be, such income,
profits  or  losses, and expenses to the unsegregated balance in each Investment
Fund  from  time to time.  To the extent that the expenses of the administration
of  the Plan and Trust are not directly attributable to a given Investment Fund,
such  expenses,  as  of  a  given  Valuation  Date,  will be prorated among each
Investment  Fund;  such allocation of expenses will, in general, be performed in
accordance  with  the  guidelines  which  are  specified  in  this  Article.

(e) FUTURE  CONTRIBUTIONS

Each  Participant  who  chooses  to  participate  in  the  Plan  will  elect the
percentage  of those contributions which are subject to Participant direction of
investment  which  is  to  be  deposited to each available Investment Fund.  The
timing  of  such  election  will  be  specified by the Plan Administrator.  Such
election will remain in effect until modified.  If any Participant fails to make
an  election  by  the  appropriate  date,  he  will be deemed to have elected an
Investment  Fund(s)  as determined by the Plan Administrator.  Elections will be
limited  to whole percentages (or such other reasonable increments as determined
by  the  Plan  Administrator).

(f) CHANGE  IN  INVESTMENT  OF  EXISTING  BALANCES

A  Participant  may  file  an  election with the Plan Administrator to shift the
aggregate  amount  or  reasonable  increments  (as  determined  by  the  Plan
Administrator)  of  the  balance  of  his existing Account or Accounts which are
subject  to  Participant  direction  of  investment among the various Investment
Funds.  Elections will be limited to whole percentages (or such other reasonable
increments  as  determined  by  the  Plan  Administrator).

(g)  CHANGES  IN  INVESTMENT  ELECTIONS

Elections with respect to future contributions and/or with respect to changes in
the  investment  of  past contributions will be in writing or through such other
means  as may be approved by the Plan Administrator and in a format specified by
the  Plan  Administrator.

The  Plan  Administrator  may  establish  additional  rules  and procedures with
respect  to  investment  election  changes including, for example, the number of
allowed  changes  per  specified  period,  the amount of reasonable fee, if any,
which will be charged to the Participant for making a change, specified dates or
cutoff  dates  for  making  a  change,  etc.

(h)  ADDITION  AND  DELETION  OF  INVESTMENT  FUNDS

Investment  Funds  may be deleted or added from time to time at the direction of
the  Plan  Administrator.  The  Plan Administrator will establish guidelines for
the  proper administration of affected Accounts when an Investment Fund is added
or  deleted.

4.03   VALUATION  PROCEDURE

As  of  each  Valuation  Date,  the  Plan  Administrator will determine from the
Trustee  the  fair market value of each Investment Fund and will, subject to the
provisions  of  this  Article,  determine the allocation of such value among the
Accounts  of  the  Participants; in doing so, the Plan Administrator will in the
following  order:

(a)     Credit  or  charge,  as  appropriate,  to  the  proper  Accounts  all
contributions,  payments,  transfers,  forfeitures,  withdrawals  or  other
distributions  made  to or from such Accounts since the last preceding Valuation
Date  and  that  have  not  been  previously  credited  or  charged.

(b)     Credit  or charge, as applicable, each Account with its pro rata portion
of  the appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of each Investment
Fund  since  the  prior  Valuation Date.  Such appreciation or depreciation will
reflect  investment  income,  realized  and  unrealized  gains and losses, other
investment  transactions  and  expenses  paid  from  each  Investment  Fund.

                                    ARTICLE 5

                             IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWALS

5.01 GENERAL

An Active Participant may not withdraw funds from his Accounts except as
permitted in this Section.

5.02 ROLLOVER WITHDRAWALS

Subject  to  procedures established by the Plan Administrator and the provisions
of Article 7, a Participant may withdraw, at any time, all or any portion of his
Accounts  that  are  attributable  to  Rollover  Contributions.

5.03  AGE  59 1/2 WITHDRAWALS

Subject  to  procedures established by the Plan Administrator and the provisions
of Article 7, an Active Participant who has attained age 59 1/2 may withdraw all
or  any portion of his Employee Account.  An Active Participant who has attained
age  59  and has completed five Years of Service may withdraw all or any portion
of any of his vested Accounts. A Participant who has not attained age 59 1/2 may
not  withdraw  any  portion  of  his  Accounts  prior  to the time when benefits
otherwise  become  payable in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 except
as  provided  elsewhere  in  this  Article  5.

5.04   FINANCIAL  HARDSHIP  WITHDRAWALS

Subject  to  procedures established by the Plan Administrator and the provisions
of  Article  7,  an  Active  Participant  may file with the Plan Administrator a
request to withdraw from his Employee Contribution Account, in order to avoid or
alleviate a Financial Hardship, an amount necessary to satisfy the Participant's
immediate  and  heavy financial need. A Participant who has completed five Years
of  Service may request a Financial Hardship Withdrawal from his Triton Matching
Account  and  from  his  Prior  Plan  Account.

(a)  LIMITS  ON  THE  AMOUNT  OF  A  FINANCIAL  HARDSHIP  WITHDRAWAL

A  Financial  Hardship  Withdrawal from a Participant's Employee Account may not
exceed  that portion of his Employee Account which represents his total Employee
Contributions.

A Financial Hardship Withdrawal from a Participant's Triton Matching Account and
Prior  Plan Account may equal up to 100% of the Participant's Accrued Benefit in
each  Account.

(b)  DEFINITION  OF  FINANCIAL  HARDSHIP

The  Plan  Administrator  will allow Financial Hardship withdrawals only if they
are  necessary  to  satisfy  a Participant's immediate and heavy financial need.

(c) IMMEDIATE  AND  HEAVY  FINANCIAL  NEED

A  withdrawal  will be deemed to be made due to an immediate and heavy financial
need  of  the  Participant  if  it  is  made  because  of:

(1)     Expenses  for  medical  care described in Code Section 213(d) previously
incurred  by the Participant, his spouse or any of his dependents (as defined in
Code  Section  152)  or  necessary  for  these  persons  to  obtain medical care
described  in  Code  Section  213(d);

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

(3)     Payment  of  tuition, room and board or educational fees for the next 12
months  of post-secondary education for the Participant, his spouse, children or
dependents  (as  defined  in  Code  Section  152);

(4)     Prevention  of  the  eviction  of  the  Participant  from  his principal
residence  or  foreclosure  on  the  mortgage  of  the  Participant's  principal
residence.

(d)  NECESSARY  TO  SATISFY  FINANCIAL  NEED

No  Financial Hardship Withdrawal may exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the
Participant's  immediate  and  heavy  financial need.  However, the amount of an
immediate  and heavy financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay any
federal,  state  or  local  income  taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to
result  from  the  distribution.

A  withdrawal  will  be  treated as necessary only to the extent the Participant
certifies  in writing or through such other means as may be approved by the Plan
Administrator  (and the Plan Administrator does not have actual knowledge to the
contrary)  that  the need cannot be reasonably relieved by any of the following:

(1)     Reimbursement  or  compensation  by  insurance  or  otherwise;

(2)     Reasonable liquidation of assets to the extent the liquidation would not
itself  cause  an  immediate  and  heavy  financial  need;

(3)     Cessation  of  Employee  Pre-tax  Contributions  or  Employee  After-tax
Contributions (as defined in Section 11.02(b)) or both under any plan maintained
by  any  employer;

(4)     Other  distributions  or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from
plans  maintained  by  any  employer;

(5)     Borrowing  from  commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

Unless the Plan Administrator has evidence to the contrary, it may rely upon the
Participant's  representation,  in writing or through such other means as may be
permitted  by applicable regulations, that the need cannot be relieved by any of
the  foregoing.

(e)  SAFE  HARBOR

No  withdrawal may be made until the Participant has obtained all distributions,
other  than hardship distributions, and all nontaxable loans currently available
to  the  Participant  under  all  plans  maintained  by  the  Employer.

5.05  LIMITATION  ON  DISTRIBUTIONS  FROM ELECTIVE CONTRIBUTION ACCOUNTS

No  distribution  may  be  made  from  the Participant's Employee Account or any
account  comprised  of Matching Contributions or Nonelective Contributions which
are  treated  as  Elective  Contributions  in  accordance with the provisions of
Section  11.02(b)  except  under  one  of  the  following  circumstances:

(a)   the  Participant's  retirement,  death,  disability  or  separation from
service  within  the  meaning  of  Code  Section  401(k)(2)(B);

(b)  the Participant's attaining of age 59 1/2 ;

(c)  the avoidance or alleviation of a Financial Hardship

(d)  the  termination  of  this Plan without the establishment of a successor
plan  within  the  meaning  of  Treasury  Regulation  1.401(k)-1(d)(3);

(e)  the  sale or other disposition by the Employer of at least 85 percent of
the  assets  used  by  the  Employer  in  a  trade  or  business to an unrelated
corporation  which  does  not  maintain  the  plan,  but only if the Participant
continues  employment  with the corporation acquiring the assets and only if the
Employer  continues  to  maintain  this  Plan;  or

(f)  the  sale  or  other  disposition  by  the Employer of its interest in a
subsidiary  to an unrelated entity which does not maintain the plan, but only if
the  Participant  continues  employment  with  the  subsidiary  and  only if the
Employer  continues  to  maintain  this  Plan.

This  paragraph  does  not  apply  to  distributions of Excess Deferrals, Excess
Contributions,  or  excess  Annual  Additions.

5.06  BENEFITS  ATTRIBUTABLE  TO  ASSETS  TRANSFERRED  FROM A PRIOR PLAN

Notwithstanding  any provision of this Plan to the contrary, amounts transferred
to  this  plan  in accordance with a Written Resolution pursuant to Section 8.06
will  remain  subject to any withdrawal rights or restrictions that are regarded
as  protected  benefits  under the Code and, to the extent required by law, will
remain  subject  to  payment  in  the  form,  at the times, and on the occasions
provided  in  the  transferor  plan.

                                    ARTICLE 6

                                PARTICIPANT LOANS

6.01  LOANS  TO  PARTICIPANTS

The  Plan Administrator may authorize the Trustee to lend on a nondiscriminatory
basis  to a Participant an amount from the Plan as specified herein; provided, a
reasonable  rate  of  interest  will  be  charged  on the loan, the loan will be
secured  by  50%  of  the  Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit in the Plan, and
provision for repayment will be made.  All loans will be subject to the approval
of  the  Plan  Administrator which will investigate each application for a loan.
The  Plan Administrator will prescribe such rules as may be necessary to provide
guidelines  as  to  under which circumstances and for what purpose loans will be
permitted.

Notwithstanding  the foregoing, the Plan Administrator will not authorize a loan
to  a  Participant  (or Beneficiary) who, at the time the loan is to be made, is
not  or  will  not be a Party in Interest as defined in ERISA Section 3(14), and
each  loan  will  provide  for  acceleration  and  maturity  at such time as the
Participant  (or  Beneficiary)  ceases  to  be  a  Party  in  Interest.

The Plan Administrator will prescribe guidelines as to which Account or Accounts
loans  may  be made from.  Each loan made to a Participant will be made from the
Participant's  allowable  Account  or  Accounts.  All  interest  and  principal
repayments will be credited to the Participant's Account from which the loan was
made.

6.02   TERMS  AND  CONDITIONS

In  addition  to  any additional rules and regulations as the Plan Administrator
may  adopt,  all  loans  will  comply  with  the following terms and conditions:

(a)     Each  application  for  a loan by a Participant will be made to the Plan
Administrator  in  writing or through such other means as may be approved by the
Plan  Administrator.    The  Plan  Administrator's action thereon will be final.

(b)     Each  loan  will  be  made against collateral being the assignment of no
more  than  50% of the borrower's entire right, title and interest in and to the
Trust  Fund on the date the loan is made, supported by the borrower's promissory
note  for the amount of the loan, including interest payable to the order to the
Trustee,  and  any additional security deemed necessary to adequately secure the
Loan.  If  a  person fails to make a required payment by the end of the calendar
quarter following the due date set forth in the loan agreement, the loan will be
in  default.  There  will  be  no  foreclosure  against  a Participant's Accrued
Benefit  prior  to  his  becoming  entitled  to  a  distribution  of benefits in
accordance  with  the terms of this Plan.  All loans will become due and payable
in  full  upon  the termination of a Participant's employment.  If a Participant
with  an  outstanding  loan  terminates  employment  and  becomes  entitled to a
distribution  of  benefits  from  the  Plan, then the outstanding balance of the
unpaid  loan  plus any accrued interest thereon will be deducted from the amount
of  otherwise  distributable benefits and the Participant's promissory note will
be  distributed  to  the  Participant.

(c)     The  principal repayment will be amortized over the fixed life of a loan
with  installments  of  principal  and  interest  to be paid not less often than
quarterly.  The  period  of repayment for each loan will be arrived at by mutual
agreement  between the Plan Administrator and the borrower, but in no event will
such period exceed a reasonable period of time.  The period of repayment will in
no  event  exceed  5 years unless the loan is to be used to acquire any dwelling
unit  which,  within  a  reasonable period of time, is to be used as a principal
residence  of  the  Participant.

(d)     The  Plan Administrator may establish a minimum loan amount that may not
be  in  excess  of  $1,000.

(e)     The  maximum amount of any loan is such that when the amount of the loan
is  added  to the outstanding balance of all other loans made to the Participant
from the Plan (and any other plans maintained by the Plan Sponsor or any Related
Employer)  the  total  does  not  exceed  the  lesser  of:

(1)     50%  of  the  Participant's  Vested  Accrued  Benefit;  or

(2)     $50,000,  reduced  by  the amount, if any, of the highest balance of all
outstanding  loans  to  the Participant during the one-year period ending on the
day  prior  to  the  day  on  which  the  loan  in  question  is  made.

(f)     Each  loan will bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate which is
published in the Wall Street Journal as being representative of the base rate on
corporate loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks on the date on which
the  loan  is  made,  plus  2  percentage  points.

 (g)     The Plan Administrator may limit the number of loans that a Participant
may  have  outstanding  at  one  time.

(h)     No  loan  will  be  permitted  to a Participant in a year in which he is
either  an  Owner-Employee  or  Shareholder-Employee  as defined in Code Section
4975(d) unless the loan is the subject of an administrative exemption granted by
the  U.S.  Department  of  Labor.

(i)     Loan  repayments  will  be  suspended under this plan as permitted under
Code  Section  414(u)(4)  which  pertains  to  employees  who  are absent from a
position with the Plan Sponsor or Related Employer because of Qualified Military
Service  as  defined  in  Section  8.12.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                               PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

7.01  VALUATION  OF  ACCOUNTS

For  purposes of this Article, the value of a Participant's Accrued Benefit will
be determined as of the Valuation Date his Accounts are liquidated to effect his
distribution.

7.02  NORMAL  RETIREMENT

In  the  event of a Participant's termination of employment after he has reached
his Normal Retirement Date, he will become a Retired Participant and his Accrued
Benefit  will  become  distributable  to  him.  An  Active Participant's Accrued
Benefit will become non-forfeitable no later than the date upon which he attains
his  Normal  Retirement  Age.  An  Active  Participant  who  has attained Normal
Retirement  Age  may  elect  to withdraw all or a portion of his Accrued Benefit
from  the Plan prior to his separation from service due to retirement.  The form
and  timing  of  benefit  payment  will be governed by the provisions of Section
7.07.

7.03  DISABILITY  RETIREMENT

In the event of a Participant's termination of employment due to Disability, his
Accrued  Benefit will become non-forfeitable and he will be entitled to begin to
receive  a  distribution  of  his Accrued Benefit as of his date of termination.
The  form  and  timing  of benefit payment will be governed by the provisions of
Section  7.07.

Disability  means the determination by the Plan Administrator that a Participant
is  unable by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
to  perform  the  usual  duties of his employment or of any other employment for
which  he  is  reasonably  qualified  based  upon  his  education,  training and
experience.

7.04  DEATH  BENEFIT

In  the  event  of  the  death  of  a  Participant prior to the date on which he
receives  a  complete  distribution  of  his  benefit  under  the  Plan,  if the
Participant  has  a  Surviving  Spouse  and  if  a  Beneficiary  other  than the
Participant's  Surviving  Spouse has not been designated pursuant to a Qualified
Election,  the  Participant's  Surviving  Spouse will be entitled to receive the
value  of  the  Participant's  Accrued  Benefit.

If  a  Surviving  Spouse  does  not  exist  or  if  a Beneficiary other than the
Participant's  Surviving  Spouse  has  been  designated  pursuant to a Qualified
Election,  the  Participant's designated Beneficiary will be entitled to receive
the  value  of  the  Participant's  Accrued  Benefit.

7.05  DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

  (a)  GENERAL

Each  Participant  will  be  given the opportunity to designate a Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries,  and  from  time  to  time the Participant may file with the Plan
Administrator  a  new  or  revised  designation on the form provided by the Plan
Administrator.  If  a  Participant  is married, any designation of a Beneficiary
other  than  the  Participant's spouse must be consented to by the Participant's
spouse  pursuant  to  a  Qualified  Election.

If  a  Participant dies without a spouse or designated Beneficiary surviving; if
the  designated Beneficiary (other than the spouse) does not survive until final
distribution  of  the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit; if a Participant who
is  not  married  dies without a designated Beneficiary; if a Participant who is
not married dies after having made and revoked a designation but prior to having
made  a  subsequent  designation, or if the Plan Administrator determines that a
Participant's  Beneficiary designation is not effective for any reason, then the
amount  remaining  of  the deceased Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit will be
payable  in  the  following  descending  order  to:

(1)  the  Participant's  Surviving  Spouse  (if  applicable);

(2)  the  Participant's  estate.

(b)  SURVIVING  SPOUSE

Surviving  Spouse  means  a deceased Participant's spouse who was married to the
Participant  on the Participant's date of death.  The Plan Administrator and the
Trustee  may  rely  conclusively  on  a  Participant's  statement, in writing or
through  such  other  means as may be approved by the Plan Administrator, of his
marital  status.  Neither  the Plan Administrator nor the Trustee is required at
any  time  to  inquire into the validity of any marriage, the effectiveness of a
common-law relationship or the claim of any alleged spouse which is inconsistent
with  the  Participant's  report  of  his marital status and the identity of his
spouse.

If  it  is  established  to  the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that the
spouse cannot be located, then the deceased Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit
will  be  paid  as  if there were no surviving spouse.  If the spouse is legally
incompetent,  any  election or consent by the spouse may be made by the spouse's
legal  guardian.  If  the  deceased Participant is legally separated or has been
abandoned  (within  the meaning of local law) and there is an order from a court
of competent jurisdiction to this effect, then the deceased Participant's Vested
Accrued  Benefit  will  be  paid  as  if  there  were  no  surviving  spouse.

(c)   QUALIFIED ELECTION FOR ACCOUNTS NOT SUBJECT TO QUALIFIED ANNUITY RULES

A  Qualified  Election for Accounts not subject to Qualified Annuity rules means
the  designation  of a specific Beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse.
Such  Qualified  Election  must  be  in  writing and must be consented to by the
Participant's spouse.  The spouse's written consent to a Qualified Election must
be  witnessed  by a representative of the Plan Administrator or a notary public.
Such  consent  will  not  be  required  if  the  Participant  establishes to the
satisfaction  of  the  Plan  Administrator  that such written consent may not be
obtained  because  there  is  no  spouse,  the spouse cannot be located or other
circumstances  that  may  be  prescribed  by  Treasury Regulations.  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  Qualified Election, the
designated  spouse).  Additionally,  a  revocation of a prior Qualified Election
may  be  made  by  a  Participant  without the consent of the spouse at any time
before  the  commencement  of  benefits;  however,  any Qualified Election which
follows  such  revocation  must  be  in  writing and must be consented to by the
Participant's  spouse.  The number of Qualified Elections or revocations of such
Qualified  Elections  will  not  be  limited.

7.06  TERMINATION  OF  EMPLOYMENT

(a)  IN  GENERAL

If  a  Participant's employment terminates for any reason other than retirement,
death,  or  disability,  his Vested Accrued Benefit will become distributable to
him  as  soon  as  administratively  feasible.  The  form  and timing of benefit
payment will be governed by the provisions of Section 7.07.

(b)  CASH-OUT  DISTRIBUTION

If  a Participant terminates employment and receives a distribution equal to the
Vested  Percentage  of  his  Accounts  which are subject to the Vesting Schedule
(such Accounts are hereinafter referred to as Employer Contribution Accounts), a
Cash-Out  Distribution  will  have occurred if the following conditions are met:

(1)  The Participant was less than 100% vested in his Employer Contribution
Accounts and

(2)  The distribution was made due to the Employee's termination of
participation in the Plan.

A  distribution  will  be  deemed  to be due to the termination of an Employee's
participation  in  the  Plan if it is made no later than the close of the second
Plan  Year  following  the  Plan  Year  in  which  such  termination  occurs.

(c) RESTORATION  OF  EMPLOYER  CONTRIBUTION  ACCOUNTS

If,  following the date of a Cash-Out Distribution, a Former Participant returns
to an Eligible Employee Classification prior to incurring 5 consecutive One Year
Breaks-in-Service,  then  the Participant will have the right to repay, in cash,
to  the  Trustee,  within  5  years  after  his  return date, the portion of the
Cash-Out  Distribution  which  was  attributable  to  his  Employer Contribution
Accounts  which  were less than 100% vested in order to restore such Accounts to
their value as of the date of the Cash-Out Distribution.  The Plan Administrator
will  restore an eligible Participant's Employer Contribution Accounts as of the
Valuation  Date  coincident with or immediately following the complete repayment
of  the  Cash-Out  Distribution.

To  restore  the  Participant's Employer Accounts the Plan Administrator, to the
extent  necessary,  will,  under  rules  and guidelines applied in a uniform and
nondiscriminatory  manner,  first  allocate  to  the  Participant's  Employer
Contribution  Accounts  the amount, if any, of Forfeitures which would otherwise
be  allocated  under  Article  3.

To the extent such Forfeitures are insufficient to enable the Plan Administrator
to  make  the required restoration, the Employer will contribute such additional
amount  as  is  necessary  to enable the Plan Administrator to make the required
restoration.  The  Plan  Administrator will not take into account the allocation
under  this  Section in applying the limitation on allocations under Article 10.

(d)  NON-VESTED  PARTICIPANT

If  a Participant who is zero percent vested in his Employer Accounts terminates
employment,  a  Cash-Out  Distribution will be deemed to have occurred as of the
Participant's  date  of  termination  of  employment.

If  the  Participant subsequently returns to an Eligible Employee Classification
prior  to  incurring  five  consecutive  One  Year  Breaks-in-Service,  then the
Participant  will  immediately  become entitled to a complete restoration of his
Employer  Contribution Accounts as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next
following  his  date  of  re-employment.  Such  restoration  will  be  made  in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Section  7.06(c).

7.07  TIMING  AND  FORM  OF  BENEFIT  PAYMENTS

(a) TIMING  OF  BENEFIT  PAYMENT

Subject  to  the  provisions of Section 7.08, the Plan Administrator will direct
the Trustee to make the payment of any benefit provided under this Plan upon the
event  giving  rise  to  such  benefit within 60 days following the receipt of a
Participant's  request  for  the  payment of benefits in writing or through such
other  means  as  may  be  approved  by  the  Plan Administrator and in a format
specified  by  the  Plan  Administrator.  The Plan Administrator may temporarily
suspend  such  processing in the event of unusual or extraordinary circumstances
such  as  the  conversion  of  Plan  records  from  one recordkeeper to another.

(b) FORM  OF  BENEFIT  PAYMENT

The  form of benefit will be a single sum payment, unless the Participant elects
to  receive  his  benefit  in  the form of a direct transfer pursuant to Section
7.09.  The  Plan  Administrator  may  establish  a  policy  permitting  a Vested
Terminated  Participant  who  is eligible to receive a single sum payment of his
benefit  to  elect  a  partial  distribution  of  his  benefit.

With  respect  to  a  Participant  whose  Accrued  Benefit is not subject to the
Qualified  Annuity rules, if a Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit is in excess
of  $5,000, any payment of benefits prior to the Participant's Normal Retirement
Date  will  be  subject  to the Participant's consent in writing or through such
other  means  as  may  be  approved  by  the  Plan  Administrator.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if  a  terminated Participant's Vested Accrued
Benefit  is  $5,000  or  less, such Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit will be
payable  in  a  single  sum  payment  of the entire amount of his Vested Accrued
Benefit.  The  Plan  Administrator  may,  in  accordance  a policy that does not
discriminate  among  Participants,  establish  periodic  times  when  the  Plan
Administrator  will  direct the distribution of such amounts without the request
or  approval  of  the Participant.  For Accrued Benefits that are subject to the
Qualified  Annuity  rules,  this  paragraph  will  not  apply  after the Annuity
Starting  Date.

7.08  COMMENCEMENT  OF  BENEFIT

(a)  GENERAL

Subject  to  the  provisions  of  this  Article, commencement of a benefit will,
unless  the  Participant elects otherwise in writing or through such other means
as  may be approved by the Plan Administrator, begin not later than the 60th day
after  the  later of the close of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains
Normal  Retirement Age or the close of the Plan Year which contains the date the
Participant  terminates  his  service  with  the  Employer.

Payment  of  a  Participant's  benefits  must  begin  no later than his Required
Beginning  Date.

(b)   REQUIRED  BEGINNING  DATE

Effective  the  later  of the Effective Date of the Plan or the first day of the
first  Plan  Year beginning after December 31, 1996, the Required Beginning Date
for  the  commencement  of  benefit  payments  from  the  Plan  is  the  April 1
immediately  following  the  later  of  (i)  the  calendar  year  in  which  the
Participant attains age 70 1/2,  or  (ii) if so elected by the Participant, the
calendar  year  in  which  the  Participant  retires.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Beginning Date for a Participant who
is  a  Five  Percent  Owner (as defined in Section 12.01(d)) with respect to the
Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2, is the April 1
immediately following  the  calendar  year  in  which  he  attains  age  70 1/2.

All  distributions  required  under  this Section will be determined and made in
accordance  with  the regulations issued under Code Section 401(a)(9), including
those  dealing  with  minimum  distribution  requirements.  Notwithstanding  the
provisions  of  Section 7.07, an Active Participant who has reached his Required
Beginning  Date will receive an annual distribution of his Accrued Benefit equal
to  the  minimum  required distribution determined under Code Section 401(a)(9).

(c) LIFE  EXPECTANCY

For  purposes  of  this  Section,  life  expectancy  and joint and last survivor
expectancy  are  to  be computed by the use of the return multiples contained in
Treasury  Regulations  1.72-9.  Unless  the  Participant elects otherwise by the
time  of the first required distribution, life expectancy of the Participant and
the  surviving  spouse  will  be  recalculated  annually.  Such election will be
irrevocable.  The  life  expectancy  of any other designated Beneficiary will be
calculated  at  the  time  payment  first  begins without further recalculation.

If  the  Participant  dies  after  distribution  of  his interest has begun, the
remaining  portion  of  the interest will continue to be distributed at least as
rapidly  as under the method of distribution being used before the Participant's
death.

7.09  DIRECTED  TRANSFER  OF  ELIGIBLE  ROLLOVER  DISTRIBUTIONS

(a) GENERAL

Notwithstanding  any  provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise
limit  a  Distributee's election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at
the  time  and  in  the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any
portion  of  an  Eligible  Rollover  Distribution  paid  directly to an Eligible
Retirement  Plan  specified  by  the  Distributee  in  a  Direct  Rollover.

(b)  ELIGIBLE  ROLLOVER  DISTRIBUTION

An  Eligible  Rollover Distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of
the  balance  to the credit 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 Section 401(a)(9); and the
portion  of  any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined
without  regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to
employer  securities).

(c)  ELIGIBLE  RETIREMENT  PLAN

An  Eligible  Retirement  Plan  is an individual retirement account described in
Code  Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section
408(b),  or a qualified trust described in Code Section 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.

(d) DISTRIBUTEE

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

(e)  DIRECT ROLLOVER

A Direct Rollover is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan
specified by the Distributee.

(F) WAIVER OF 30-DAY NOTICE

If a distribution is one to which Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply,
such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under
Treasury  Regulation  1.411(a)-11(c)  is  given,  provided  that:

(1)     the  Plan  Administrator  clearly  informs  the  Participant  that  the
Participant  has  a  right  to  a period of at least 30 days after receiving the
notice  to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and,
if  applicable,  a  particular  distribution  option);  and

(2)     the  Participant,  after  receiving  the notice, affirmatively elects to
receive  a  distribution.

                                    ARTICLE 8

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

8.01  EXCLUSIVE  BENEFIT

At  no  time will any part of the principal or income of the Plan assets be used
or diverted for purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Participants in the
Plan  and  their Beneficiaries, nor may any portion of the Plan assets revert to
the  Plan  Sponsor or any other Employer except as provided in Sections 10.01(e)
and  8.11.

8.02 EMPLOYMENT  RIGHTS  OF  PARTIES  NOT  RESTRICTED

The  adoption and maintenance of this Plan will not be deemed a contract between
the  Plan Sponsor and any Employee.  Nothing in this Plan will give any Employee
or  Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Plan Sponsor or to
interfere  with  the  right  of  the  Plan  Sponsor to discharge any Employee or
Participant  at any time, nor will it give the Plan Sponsor the right to require
any  Employee  or  Participant to remain in its employ, or to interfere with any
Employee's  or  Participant's  right  to  terminate  his employment at any time.

8.03   RIGHT  OF  PLAN  SPONSOR  TO  AMEND  OR  TERMINATE

The  Plan  Sponsor  reserves the right to alter, amend, revoke or terminate this
Plan.  No  amendment  will  deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any vested
right  nor  will it reduce any Accrued Benefit to which he is then entitled with
respect  to Employer contributions previously made, except as may be required to
maintain  the Plan as a qualified plan under the Code.  No amendment will change
the  duties  or  responsibilities  of  the  Trustee  without its express written
consent  thereto.

A  plan  amendment which has the effect of eliminating an optional benefit form,
will,  with respect to benefits attributable to service before the amendment, be
treated  as  reducing  Accrued  Benefits.

If  this Plan is revoked or terminated (in whole or in part) or if contributions
are  completely  discontinued,  the  Accounts  of all affected Participants will
become  non-forfeitable.  The  Plan  Sponsor will then arrange for allocation of
all assets among Participants so affected by the total or partial termination in
accordance  with  the requirements of all applicable law and the regulations and
requirements  of  the  Internal  Revenue Service.  All allocated amounts will be
retained  in  the  Plan  to  the  credit  of  the  individual Participants until
distribution as directed by the Plan Sponsor.  Distributions to Participants may
be  in  the  form  of  cash  or  other  Plan  assets  or  partly  in  each.

8.04  AMENDMENT  TO  VESTING  SCHEDULE

No  amendment  to  the  Vesting  Schedule  will  deprive  a  Participant  of his
non-forfeitable  right  to  his  Vested  Accrued  Benefit  as of the date of the
amendment.  Further,  if  the Vesting Schedule of the Plan is amended, or if the
Plan  is  amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation
of  a  Participant's non-forfeitable percentage, each Participant in the Plan as
of  the date of the amendment will have his Vested Percentage computed according
to  the  amended  Vesting Schedule or according to the Vesting Schedule prior to
the  amendment,  whichever  results  in  the  higher  Vested  Percentage.

8.05 QUALIFICATION  OF  PLAN

The  Plan  Sponsor will have the sole responsibility for obtaining and retaining
qualification  of  the  Plan  under  the Code with respect to the Plan Sponsor's
individual  circumstances.

Notwithstanding  any of the foregoing provisions, if this Plan, upon adoption by
the  Plan  Sponsor,  is  submitted  to  the  Internal Revenue Service within the
remedial amendment period for the tax year in which the Plan is first effective,
and  the  Internal  Revenue  Service  then determines that the Plan as initially
adopted  by  the  Plan  Sponsor is not a qualified plan under the Code, the Plan
Sponsor  may elect to terminate this Plan by giving notice thereof in writing or
through  such other means a may be permitted by law.  Such termination will have
the  same  effect  as if the Plan were never adopted, all policies and contracts
will  be  canceled,  and  all  contributions, to the extent recoverable from the
Trustee,  will  be  returned  to their source.  If any amendment to this Plan is
submitted  to  the Internal Revenue Service within the period allowed under Code
Section 401(b) which then determines that the Plan as amended is not a qualified
plan under the Code, the Plan Sponsor may cancel or modify any or all provisions
of  the amendment retroactive to the effective date of the amendment in order to
maintain  the  qualified  status  of  the Plan, whereupon notice thereof will be
furnished  to  all affected Employees, Participants and Beneficiaries in writing
or  through  such  other  means  as  may  be  permitted  by  law.

8.06 MERGERS,  CONSOLIDATIONS  OR  TRANSFERS  OF  PLAN  ASSETS

In  the  event  this  Plan  is merged or consolidated with another plan which is
qualified under Code Sections 401(a) (and 501(a) if applicable), or in the event
of a transfer of the assets or liabilities of this Plan to another plan which is
qualified  under  Code  Sections  401(a) (and 501(a) if applicable), the benefit
which  each Participant would be entitled to receive under the successor plan or
other  plan if it were terminated immediately after the merger, consolidation or
transfer  will  be  equal  to  or greater than the benefit which the Participant
would  have received immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer if
this  Plan  had  then  terminated.

Any  transfer  of  assets and/or liabilities to (or from) this Plan from (or to)
another  plan  qualified  under  Code Sections 401(a) (and 501(a) if applicable)
will  be  evidenced by a Written Resolution by the Plan Sponsor of each affected
plan  which  specifically authorizes such transfer of assets and/or liabilities.

Any transfer of assets to this Plan will be allowed under the provisions of this
Section  if such transferred assets are not required to be paid in the form of a
qualified joint & survivor annuity or a qualified survivor annuity in accordance
with  Code  Section  401(a)(11).

8.07  ALIENATION

(a)  GENERAL

No  person  entitled to any benefit under this Plan will have any right to sell,
assign,  transfer,  hypothecate,  encumber,  commute,  pledge,  anticipate  or
otherwise  dispose of his interest in the benefit, and any attempt to do so will
be void.  No benefit under this Plan will be subject to any legal process, levy,
execution,  attachment  or garnishment for the payment of any claim against such
person.

(b)  EXCEPTIONS

Section  8.07(a)  will  not  apply to the extent a Participant or Beneficiary is
indebted  to  the  Plan  under  the  provisions  of  the  Plan.  At  the  time a
distribution  is  to be made to or for a Participant's or Beneficiary's benefit,
the  portion  of  the  amount  distributed which equals the indebtedness will be
withheld  by the Trustee to apply against or discharge the indebtedness.  Before
making  a payment, however, the Participant or Beneficiary must be given notice,
in  writing,  or through such electronic means as may be permitted by applicable
regulations,  that  the  indebtedness is to be so paid in whole or part from his
Participant's Accrued Benefit.  If the Participant or Beneficiary does not agree
that  the  indebtedness  is a valid claim against his Vested Accrued Benefit, he
will  be  entitled  to  a review of the validity of the claim in accordance with
procedures  established  by  the  Plan  Administrator.

Section 8.07(a) will not apply to a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) as
defined  in  Code  Section  414(p),  and  those  other domestic relations orders
permitted to be so treated by the Plan Administrator under the provisions of the
Retirement  Equity Act of 1984.  The Plan Administrator will establish a written
procedure  to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to
administer  distributions  under  such qualified orders.  Further, to the extent
provided  under  a QDRO, a former spouse of a Participant will be treated as the
spouse  or  Surviving Spouse (as defined in Section 7.05) for all purposes under
the  Plan.  All  rights  and  benefits,  including  elections,  provided  to  a
Participant  under  this  Plan  will  be  subject  to the rights afforded to any
alternate  payee  as  such  term  is  defined  in  Code  Section  414(p).

This  Plan  specifically permits distribution to an alternate payee under a QDRO
(without  regard  to  whether  the  Participant has attained his or her earliest
retirement  age  as  that term is defined under Code Section 414(p)) in the same
manner  that  is  provided  for  a  Vested  Terminated  Participant.

8.08 CONSTRUCTION

To  the  extent not preempted by ERISA, this Plan will be construed according to
the laws of the state in which the Plan Sponsor's principal place of business is
located.  Words  used  in  the  singular  will include the plural, the masculine
gender  will  include  the  feminine,  and  vice  versa,  whenever  appropriate.

8.09  NAMED  FIDUCIARIES

(a)  ALLOCATION  OF  FUNCTIONS

The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan
and  Trust created by this instrument will be allocated between the Plan Sponsor
and  the  Plan  Administrator,  each of whom are designated as Named Fiduciaries
with  respect  to  the  Plan  and  Trust as provided for by Section 402(a)(2) of
ERISA.  The  Plan  Sponsor  reserves  the  right  to  allocate  the  various
responsibilities  for  the present execution of the functions of the Plan, other
than the Trustees' responsibilities, among its Named Fiduciaries.  Any person or
group  of  persons  may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with regard to
the  Plan.

(b)  RESPONSIBILITIES  OF  THE  PLAN  SPONSOR

The  Plan  Sponsor,  in  its  capacity  as a Named Fiduciary, will have only the
following  authority  and  responsibility:

(1)  To appoint or remove the Plan Administrator and furnish the Trustee with
certified  copies  of  any  resolutions of the Plan Sponsor with regard thereto;

(2)  To appoint and remove the Trustee;

(3)  To appoint a successor Trustee or additional Trustees;

(4)  To  communicate information to the Plan Administrator and the Trustee as
needed  for  the  proper  performance  of  the  duties  of  each;

(5)  To  appoint an investment manager (or to refrain from such appointment),
to  monitor  the  performance  of  the  investment  manager so appointed, and to
terminate such appointment (more than one investment manger may be appointed and
in  office  at  any  time);  and

(6)  To establish and communicate to the Trustee a funding policy for the Plan.

(c)  LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS OF NAMED FIDUCIARIES

No  Named  Fiduciary  will have authority or responsibility to deal with matters
other  than  as delegated to it under this Plan or by operation of law.  A Named
Fiduciary will not in any event be liable for breach of fiduciary responsibility
or  obligation  by  another  fiduciary  (including  Named  Fiduciaries)  if  the
responsibility or authority of the act or omission deemed to be a breach was not
within the scope of the Named Fiduciary's authority or delegated responsibility.

(d) STANDARD  OF  CARE  AND  SKILL

The  duties  of  each fiduciary will be performed with the care, skill, prudence
and  diligence  under  the  circumstances  then prevailing that a prudent person
acting  in  a  like  capacity  and  familiar  with such matters would use in the
conduct  of  an  enterprise  of  like  character  and  with  like  objectives.

8.10  ADOPTION  AND  WITHDRAWAL  BY  OTHER  ORGANIZATIONS

(a) PROCEDURE  FOR  ADOPTION

Subject  to the provisions of this Section, any organization now in existence or
hereafter  formed  or  acquired,  which  is not already a Participating Employer
under this Plan and which is otherwise legally eligible may, in the future, with
the  consent  and  approval  of  the  Plan Sponsor, by formal Written Resolution
(referred  to  in  this  Section  as an Adoption Resolution), adopt the Plan and
Trust  hereby created for all or any classification of persons in its employment
and thereby, from and after the specified effective date, become a Participating
Employer  under  this Plan.  Such consent will be effected by and evidenced by a
formal  Written  Resolution of the Plan Sponsor.  The Plan Sponsor's consent may
provide  for  adoption  by  all  Related Employers.  The Adoption Resolution may
contain  such  specific  changes  and  variations  in  Plan terms and provisions
applicable  to  the  adopting Participating Employer and its Employees as may be
acceptable to the Plan Sponsor.  However, the sole, exclusive right of any other
amendment  of  whatever  kind  or  extent  to  the  Plan is reserved to the Plan
Sponsor.  The  Adoption  Resolution will become, as to the adopting organization
and  its  Employees,  a part of this Plan as then amended or thereafter amended.
It  will  not  be necessary for the adopting organization to sign or execute the
original or then amended Plan and Trust Agreement or any future amendment to the
Plan  and  Trust  Agreement.  The  effective  date  of the Plan for the adopting
organization  will  be that stated in the Adoption Resolution and from and after
such  effective  date  the  adopting  organization  will  assume all the rights,
obligations  and  liabilities  as a Participating Employer under this Plan.  The
administrative  powers  of  and  control  by the Plan Sponsor as provided in the
Plan,  including  the  sole  right  of  amendment or termination of the Plan, of
appointment  and  removal  of  the  Plan  Administrator  and the Trustee, and of
appointment  and  removal  of  an  investment  manager will not be diminished by
reason  of  the  participation  of  the  adopting  organization  in  the  Plan.

(b) WITHDRAWAL

Any  Participating  Employer  may  withdraw  from  the Plan at any time, without
affecting  the Plan Sponsor or other Participating Employers not withdrawing, by
complying with the provisions of the Plan.  A withdrawing Participating Employer
may  arrange  for  the  continuation  by itself or its successor of this Plan in
separate  forms  for  its own employees, with such amendments, if any, as it may
deem  proper,  and  may  arrange  for continuation of the Plan by merger with an
existing  plan  and  transfer  of  plan  assets.  The  Plan  Sponsor may, in its
absolute  discretion,  terminate a Participating Employer's participation at any
time  when  in  its  judgment  the  Participating  Employer  fails or refuses to
discharge  its  obligations  under  the  Plan.

(c)  ADOPTION  CONTINGENT  UPON  INITIAL  AND  CONTINUED  QUALIFICATIONS

The  adoption  of  this  Plan  by  an  organization  as  provided is hereby made
contingent  and  subject  to  the  condition  precedent  that  said  adopting
organization  meets,  for  its  Employees,  all  the  statutory requirements for
qualified plans, including, but not limited to, Code Sections 401(a) and 501(a).
If  the  Plan  or  the  Trust,  in  its operation, becomes disqualified, for any
reason,  as  to  the adopting organization and its Employees, the portion of the
Plan  assets allocable to them will be segregated as soon as is administratively
feasible,  pending  either  the prompt (1) requalification of the Plan as to the
organization  and  its  employees  to  the satisfaction  of  the Internal
Revenue Service so as not to affect the continued qualified  status  thereof as
to  other  Employers,  (2)  withdrawal  of  the organization from this Plan and
a continuation by itself or its successor of its plan  separately from this
Plan, or by merger with another existing plan, with a transfer  of  its  said
segregated portion of Plan assets, or (3) termination of the  Plan  as  to
itself  and  its  Employees.

8.11 EMPLOYER  CONTRIBUTIONS

Employer  contributions made to the Plan and Trust are made and will be held for
the  sole purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries.

In  no event will any contribution made by the Employer to the Plan and Trust or
income  therefrom  revert to the Employer except as provided in Section 10.01(e)
or  as  provided  below.

 (a)     Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  this  Plan to the  contrary, if a
contribution  is  made  by  an  Employer  because  of  a  mistake  of  fact, the
contribution  may  be returned to the Employer within one year after the payment
of  the  contribution.  If  demand is made by the Employer within one year after
payment  of the contribution, the Trustee will return the amount of the mistaken
contribution  which  will  be  equal to the excess of (a) the amount contributed
over  (b)  the  amount that would have been contributed had there not occurred a
mistake  of  fact.  Earnings  attributable  to mistaken contributions may not be
returned to the Employer, but losses attributable thereto will reduce the amount
to  be  returned.

(b)     Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  this  Plan  to the contrary, if the
Internal  Revenue  Service determines initially that the Plan, as adopted by the
Employer,  does not qualify under applicable sections of the Code and applicable
Treasury  Regulations,  and  the  Employer  does not wish to amend this Plan and
Trust  so  that  it does qualify, the value of all assets will be distributed by
the  Trustee  to  the  Employer  within  one  year  after  the date such initial
qualification  is denied.  Thereafter, the Employer's participation in this Plan
and  Trust  will  be  considered  rescinded  and  of  no  force  or  effect.

(c)     Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  this  Plan  to  the  contrary,  any
contribution  by the Employer to the Plan is conditioned on the deductibility of
the contribution by the Employer under the Code.  To the extent any deduction is
disallowed, the Employer, within one year following a final determination of the
disallowance, whether by agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or by final
decision  in  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction, may demand repayment of the
disallowed contribution, and the Trustee will return the contribution within one
year  following the disallowance.  Earnings attributable to excess contributions
may not be returned to the Employer, but losses attributable thereto will reduce
the  amount  to  be  returned.

8.12  EMPLOYEES  IN  QUALIFIED  MILITARY  SERVICE

Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  this  Plan  to the contrary, contributions,
benefits  and service credits with respect to qualified military service will be
provided  in  accordance with Code Section 414(u).  Provisions of this plan that
refer  to  Qualified  Military  Service  as  defined  in Code Section 414(u) are
effective  on  the later of the Effective Date of the Plan or December 12, 1994.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                                 ADMINISTRATION

9.01 PLAN  ADMINISTRATOR

The  Plan Administrator will have the responsibility for the general supervision
and  administration  of  the Plan and will be a fiduciary of the Plan.  The Plan
Sponsor  may, by Written Resolution, appoint one or more individuals to serve as
Plan  Administrator.  If  the  Plan  Sponsor  does  not appoint an individual or
individuals  as  Plan  Administrator,  the  Plan  Sponsor  will function as Plan
Administrator.  The  Plan Sponsor may at any time, with or without cause, remove
an  individual  as Plan Administrator or substitute another individual therefor.

9.02 POWERS  AND  DUTIES  OF  THE  PLAN  ADMINISTRATOR

The  Plan  Administrator  will be charged with and will have delegated to it the
full  power,  duty,  authority  and  discretion  to  interpret  and construe the
provisions  of  this  Plan,  to  determine  its  meaning  and intent and to make
application  thereof  to  the  facts of any individual case; to determine in its
discretion  the  rights  and  benefits  of  Participants  and the eligibility of
Employees;  to give necessary instructions and directions to the Trustee and the
Insurer as herein provided or as may be requested by the Trustee and the Insurer
from  time  to  time;  to  resolve  all questions of fact relating to any of the
foregoing;  and  generally to direct the administration of the Plan according to
its  terms.  All  decisions of the Plan Administrator in matters properly coming
before it according to the terms of this Plan, and all actions taken by the Plan
Administrator  in  the  proper exercise of its administrative powers, duties and
responsibilities, will be final and binding upon all Employees, Participants and
Beneficiaries  and  upon any person having or claiming any rights or interest in
this  Plan. The Plan Administrator may engage agents to assist it and may engage
legal  counsel  who  may  be  counsel  for  the  Plan  Sponsor.

The  Plan  Sponsor  and the Plan Administrator will make and receive any reports
and  information,  and  retain  any  records  necessary  or  appropriate  to the
administration  of  this  Plan  or  to the performance of duties hereunder or to
satisfy  any requirements imposed by law.  In the performance of its duties, the
Plan Administrator will be entitled to rely on information duly furnished by any
Employee,  Participant  or  Beneficiary  or  by  the  Plan  Sponsor  or Trustee.

9.03  ACTIONS  OF  THE  PLAN  ADMINISTRATOR

The  Plan Administrator may adopt such rules as it deems necessary, desirable or
appropriate with respect to the conduct of its affairs and the administration of
the  Plan.  Whenever  any action to be taken in accordance with the terms of the
Plan  requires the consent or approval of the Plan Administrator, or whenever an
interpretation  is  to  be made of the terms of the Plan, the Plan Administrator
will  act in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner, treating all Employees and
Participants  in  similar  circumstances  in  a  like  manner.  If  the  Plan
Administrator  is a group of individuals, all of its decisions will be made by a
majority  vote.  The Plan Administrator will have the authority to employ one or
more persons to render advice or services with regard to the responsibilities of
the  Plan  Administrator, including but not limited to attorneys, actuaries, and
accountants.  The  Plan  Administrator  will  have the authority to delegate its
responsibilities under the Plan to appropriate individuals or entities to act on
behalf  of  the  Plan  Administrator.  Any  persons employed to render advice or
services  will  have  no  fiduciary responsibility for any ministerial functions
performed  with  respect  to  this  Plan.

9.04   RELIANCE  ON  PLAN  ADMINISTRATOR  AND  PLAN  SPONSOR

Until the Plan Sponsor gives notice to the contrary, the Trustee and any persons
employed  to  render  advice  or  services  will  be  entitled  to  rely  on the
designation of Plan Administrator that has been furnished to them.  In addition,
the  Trustee and any persons employed to render advice or services will be fully
protected  in  acting  upon  the written directions and instructions of the Plan
Administrator  made  in  accordance  with  the  terms of this Plan.  If the Plan
Administrator  is a group of individuals, unless otherwise specified, any one of
such  individuals  will  be  authorized  to sign documents on behalf of the Plan
Administrator  and  such authorized signatures will be recognized by all persons
dealing  with  the  Plan  Administrator.

The  Trustee  and  any  persons  employed  to render advice or services may take
cognizance of any rules established by the Plan Administrator and rely upon them
until  notified to the contrary.  The Trustee and any persons employed to render
advice  or  services will be fully protected in taking any action upon any paper
or  document  believed  to  be  genuine  and  to  have  been properly signed and
presented  by  the  Plan  Administrator,  Plan  Sponsor or any agent of the Plan
Administrator  acting  on  behalf  of  the  Plan  Administrator.

9.05   REPORTS  TO  PARTICIPANTS

The  Plan  Administrator  will  report  in  writing to a Participant his Accrued
Benefit  under  the  Plan  and  the  Vested  Percentage of such benefit when the
Participant  terminates  his  employment or reasonably requests such a report in
writing  from  the  Plan  Administrator.  To  the  extent  required  by  law  or
regulation,  the  Plan  Administrator will annually furnish to each Participant,
and  to each Beneficiary receiving benefits, a report that fairly summarizes the
Plan's  most  recent  report.

9.06  BOND

The  Plan  Administrator and other fiduciaries of the Plan will be bonded to the
extent  required  by ERISA or other applicable law.  No additional bond or other
security  for  the  faithful  performance  of any duties under this Plan will be
required.

9.07  COMPENSATION  OF  PLAN  ADMINISTRATOR

The Compensation of the Plan Administrator will be left to the discretion of the
Plan Sponsor; no person who is receiving full pay from the Employer will receive
compensation  for  services as Plan Administrator.  All reasonable and necessary
expenses incurred by the Plan Administrator in supervising and administering the
Plan  will  be  paid from the Plan assets by the Trustee at the direction of the
Plan  Administrator  to  the  extent  directed  by  the  Plan  Sponsor.

9.08 CLAIMS  PROCEDURE

The  Plan  Administrator  will  make  all determinations as to the rights of any
Employee, Participant, Beneficiary or other person under the terms of this Plan.
Any  Employee,  Participant  or  Beneficiary, or person claiming under them, may
make  claim  for  benefit under this Plan by filing written notice with the Plan
Administrator setting forth the substance of the claim.  If a claim is wholly or
partially  denied,  the  claimant will have the opportunity to appeal the denial
upon  filing  with the Plan Administrator a written request for review within 60
days  after  receipt  of notice of denial.  In making an appeal the claimant may
examine  pertinent Plan documents and may submit issues and comments in writing.
Denial  of  a  claim or a decision on review will be made in writing by the Plan
Administrator  delivered  to  the  claimant  within 60 days after receipt of the
claim  or  request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension
of  time  for  processing  the  claim  or  review,  in  which  event  the  Plan
Administrator's  decision  must  be  made as soon as possible thereafter but not
beyond  an additional 60 days.  If no action on an initial claim is taken within
120  days,  the  claims  will  be  deemed  denied for purposes of permitting the
claimant  to proceed to the review stage.  The denial of a claim or the decision
on  review  will  specify  the  reasons for the denial or decision and will make
reference  to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial or decision is
based.  The  denial of a claim will also include a description of any additional
material  or  information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an
explanation  of  the  claim  review  procedure  herein  described.  The  Plan
Administrator  will  serve as an agent for service of legal process with respect
to  the  Plan  unless  the  Plan  Sponsor,  through Written Resolution, appoints
another  agent.

9.09  UNCLAIMED  BENEFITS

If a Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to a distribution from the Plan, the
Participant  or  Beneficiary  will  be  responsible  for  providing  the  Plan
Administrator  with his current address.  If the Plan Administrator notifies the
Participant  or Beneficiary by registered mail (return receipt requested) at his
last  known  address that he is entitled to a distribution and also notifies him
of the provisions of this paragraph, and the Participant or Beneficiary fails to
claim  his  benefits  under  the Plan or provide his current address to the Plan
Administrator  within one year after such notification, the distributable amount
will  be  forfeited and used to reduce the cost of the Plan.  If the Participant
or  Beneficiary  is  subsequently  located,  such  benefit  will  be  restored.

9.10 FIDUCIARY  RESPONSIBILITY

The  Trustee  will  be  solely  responsible  for its own acts or omissions.  The
Trustee  will  not  have  duty  to question any other fiduciary's performance of
duties  allocated  to  such  other  fiduciary pursuant to the Plan.  If the Plan
permits the appointment of additional trustees of separate Trust Funds under the
Plan,  each  will  have  no  duties  or responsibilities for Plan assets held by
another  trustee.

Nothing  contained  in  this  Section  will  preclude  any  agreement allocating
specific  responsibilities or obligations among the co-fiduciaries provided that
the  agreement  does not violate any of the terms and provisions of this Plan or
the  requirements  of  applicable  laws.

9.11  EXPENSES  OF  ADMINISTRATION

The  Plan  Sponsor does not and will not guarantee the Plan assets against loss.
The  Plan  Sponsor may in its sole discretion, but will not be obligated to, pay
the  ordinary  expenses  of  establishing  the  Plan,  including  the  fees  of
administrators,  recordkeepers,  consultants,  accountants  and  attorneys  in
connection  therewith.  The  Plan  Sponsor may, in its sole discretion (but will
not  be  obligated  to), pay other costs and expenses of administering the Plan,
the  taxes  imposed  upon the Plan, if any, and the fees, charges or commissions
with  respect  to the purchase and sale of Plan assets.  Unless paid by the Plan
Sponsor,  such  costs  and  expenses,  taxes  (if  any),  and  fees, charges and
commissions  will  be  a  charge  upon  Plan assets and deducted by the Trustee.

9.12  DISTRIBUTION  AUTHORITY

If  any  person entitled to receive payment under this Plan is a minor, declared
incompetent  or  is under other legal disability, the Plan Administrator may, in
its  sole  discretion,  direct  the  Trustee  to:

(a)     Distribute  directly  to  the  person  entitled  to  the  payment;

(b)     Distribute  to the legal guardian or, if none, to a parent of the person
entitled  to  payment or to a responsible adult with whom the person entitled to
payment  maintains  his  residence;

(c)     Distribute  to  a custodian for the person entitled to payment under the
Uniform  Gifts  to Minors Act if permitted by the laws of the state in which the
person  entitled  to  payment  resides;  or

(d)     Withhold  distribution  of the amount payable until a court of competent
jurisdiction determines the rights of the parties thereto or appoints a guardian
of  the  estate  of  the  person  entitled  to  payment.

If  there is any dispute, controversy or disagreement between any Beneficiary or
person  and  any  other  person  as  to  who is entitled to receive the benefits
payable  under this Plan, or if the Plan Administrator is uncertain as to who is
entitled  to  receive benefits, or if the Plan Administrator is unable to locate
the  person  who  is  entitled  to  benefits,  the  Plan  Administrator may with
acquittance  interplead  the funds into a court of competent jurisdiction in the
judicial  district  in  which  the Plan Sponsor maintains its principal place of
business and, upon depositing the funds with the clerk of the court, be released
from  any  further  responsibility  for  the  payment of the benefits.  If it is
necessary  for  the  Plan  Administrator  to  retain  legal counsel or incur any
expense  in  determining who is entitled to receive the benefits, whether or not
it  is  necessary  to  institute  court  action,  the Plan Administrator will be
entitled  to  reimbursement  from  the benefits for the amount of its reasonable
costs,  expenses  and  attorneys'  fees  incurred.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                           LIMITATION ON CONTRIBUTIONS

10.01  LIMITATION  ON  ANNUAL  ADDITIONS

The  amount of the Annual Addition which may be allocated under this Plan to any
Participant's  Account  as  of  any  Allocation Date will not exceed the Defined
Contribution  Limit  (based  upon  his  Compensation  up to such Valuation Date)
reduced  by the sum of any allocations of Annual Additions made to Participant's
Accounts  under  this  Plan  as  of  any  preceding  Allocation  Date within the
Limitation  Year.

If  the  Annual  Addition  under  this  Plan on behalf of a Participant is to be
reduced  as  of any Allocation Date as a result of the next preceding paragraph,
the  reduction  will  be,  to  the  extent  required, effected by first reducing
Participant contributions (which increase the Annual Addition), then Forfeitures
(if  any),  and  then  Employer contributions to be allocated under this Plan on
behalf  of  the  Participant  as  of  the  Allocation  Date.

Any  necessary  reduction  will  be  made  as  follows:

(a)     The  amount  of  the  reduction  consisting  of  after-tax  Participant
contributions  and  income  allocable  to such contributions will be paid to the
Participant  as  soon  as  administratively  feasible.

(b)     The  amount  of  the  reduction  consisting  of  any  other  Participant
contributions  and  income  allocable  to such contributions will be paid to the
Participant  as  soon  as  administratively  feasible.

(c)     The  amount of the reduction consisting of Forfeitures will be allocated
and  reallocated  to  other  Accounts  in  accordance  with the Plan formula for
allocating  Forfeitures  to  the  extent  that such allocations do not cause the
additions  to  any  other  Participant's  Accounts  to  exceed the lesser of the
Defined  Contribution  Limit  or  any  other  limitation  provided  in the Plan.

(d)     The amount of the reduction consisting of Employer contributions will be
allocated  and reallocated to other Accounts in accordance with the Plan formula
for  Employer Contributions to the extent that such allocations do not cause the
additions  to  any  other  Participant's  Accounts  to  exceed the lesser of the
Defined  Contribution  Limit  or  any  other  limitation  provided  in the Plan.

(e)     To  the  extent that the reductions described in paragraph (d) cannot be
allocated to other Participant's Accounts, the reductions will be allocated to a
suspense  account  as  Forfeitures  and  held  therein until the next succeeding
Allocation  Date  on  which  Forfeitures  could  be applied  under  the
provisions  of  the  Plan.  All  amounts held in a suspense account  must  be
applied  as  Forfeitures before any additional contributions, which  would
constitute Annual Additions, may be made to the Plan.  If the Plan terminates,
the  suspense  account will revert to the Employer to the extent it
may  not  be  allocated  to  any  Participant's  Accounts.

(f)     If  a  suspense  account is in existence at any time during a Limitation
Year  pursuant to this Section, it will not participate in the allocation of the
Trust  Fund's  investment  gains  and  losses.

10.02  WHERE EMPLOYER MAINTAINS ANOTHER QUALIFIED PLAN

   (a)  WHERE EMPLOYER MAINTAINS ANOTHER QUALIFIED DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

If  the  Employer  maintains  this  Plan and one or more other qualified defined
contribution  plans,  one  or  more  welfare  benefit  funds (as defined in Code
Section  419(e)), or one or more individual medical accounts (as defined in Code
Section  415(l)(2)),  all  of  which  are  referred  to  in  this  Article 10 as
"qualified  defined  contribution  plans,"  the Annual Additions allocated under
this  Plan  to any Participant's Accounts will be limited in accordance with the
allocation  provisions  of  this  Section  10.02(a).

The amount of the Annual Additions which may be allocated under this Plan to any
Participant's  Accounts  as  of  any Allocation Date will not exceed the Defined
Contribution  Limit  (based upon Compensation up to the allocation date) reduced
by  the  sum  of  any  allocations of Annual Additions made to the Participant's
Accounts  under  this  Plan  and  any other qualified defined contribution plans
maintained  by  the  Employer  as  of  any  earlier  Allocation  Date within the
Limitation  Year.

If  an  Allocation  Date  of  this Plan coincides with an Allocation Date of any
other  plan described in the foregoing paragraph, the amount of Annual Additions
to  be allocated on behalf of a Participant under this Plan as of such date will
be  an amount equal to the product of the amount described in the next preceding
paragraph  multiplied  by a fraction (not to exceed 1.0), the numerator of which
is  the  amount  to  be allocated under this Plan without regard to this Article
during the Limitation Year and the denominator of which is the amount that would
otherwise be allocated on this Allocation Date under all plans without regard to
this  Article  10.

If  the  Annual  Addition  under  this  Plan on behalf of a Participant is to be
reduced  as  of  any  Allocation  Date  as  a  result  of the next preceding two
paragraphs,  the  reduction  will  be, to the extent required, effected by first
reducing  Participant  contributions  (which  increase the Annual Addition) plus
applicable  trust  earnings,  then  Forfeitures  (if any), and then any Employer
contributions plus applicable trust earnings, to be allocated under this Plan on
behalf  of  the  Participant  as  of  the  Allocation  Date.

If  as  a  result  of  the  first  four  paragraphs  of  this Section 10.02, the
allocation  of additions is reduced, the reduction will be treated in the manner
described  in  the  third  paragraph  of  Section  10.01.

(b) WHERE  EMPLOYER  MAINTAINS  A  QUALIFIED  DEFINED  BENEFIT  PLAN

If  the  Employer  maintains (or has ever maintained), in addition to this Plan,
one  or  more  qualified  defined  benefit  plans,  then for any Limitation Year
beginning before January 1, 2000, the Annual Additions allocated under this Plan
to  any Participant's Accounts will be limited in accordance with the provisions
of  Code  Section 415(e), incorporating any transition rules that may apply to a
Participant's  Accounts and including any adjustments that may be required for a
Limitation  Year  in which the Plan is determined to be Top Heavy and subject to
the  requirements  of  Code  Section  416.

10.03  DEFINITIONS APPLICABLE TO ARTICLE 10

   (a)  ALLOCATION DATE

Allocation  Date  means  the  date  with  respect  to  which all or a portion of
employer  contributions, employee contributions and/or forfeitures are allocated
to  participant  accounts  under  a  defined  contribution  plan.

  (b)  ANNUAL  ADDITIONS

Annual  Additions  are the sum of the following amounts allocated to any defined
contribution  plan maintained by the Employer (including voluntary contributions
to  any  defined  benefit  plan  maintained  by  the  Employer)  on  behalf of a
Participant  for  a  Limitation  Year:

All  Employee  and  Employer  contributions;

All  reallocated  forfeitures;

Contributions  or  forfeitures will be treated as Annual Additions regardless of
whether  they  constitute  Excess  Deferrals,  Excess  Contributions  or  Excess
Aggregate Contributions within the meaning of the regulations under Code Section
401(k)  or  401(m)  and  regardless  of  whether  they  are  corrected  through
distribution  or recharacterization.  Excess deferrals distributed in accordance
with  Treasury  Regulation  1.402(g)-1(e)(2)  or  (3)  are not Annual Additions.

   (c)  COMPENSATION

Except  as  otherwise  provided in this Article 10, Compensation for purposes of
this  Article  is  Compensation  as  defined  in  Section  1.05.

For  Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1998, Compensation for purposes
of  this  Article  10  includes  any  amounts contributed by the Employer or any
Related  Employer  on  behalf  of  any  Employee  pursuant to a salary reduction
agreement  which  are  not includable in the gross income of the Employee due to
Code  Section  125,  402(e)(3),  402(h),  402(k)  or  403(b).

For  Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1998, Compensation for purposes of
this  Article 10 excludes any amounts contributed by the Employer or any Related
Employer  on  behalf  of any  Employee  pursuant to a salary reduction agreement
which are not includable in  the gross income of the Employee due to Code
Section 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), 402(k)  or  403(b).

For  purposes  of  this  Article  10, the period used to determine an Employee's
Compensation  is  the  Limitation  Year.

  (d)  DEFINED  CONTRIBUTION  LIMIT

The  Defined  Contribution  Limit  for  a  given Limitation Year is equal to the
lesser  of  (1)  the  Defined  Contribution  Compensation Limit, which is 25% of
Compensation  applicable to the Limitation Year, or (2) the Defined Contribution
Dollar  Limit,  which,  for  calendar  years  after 1994 is $30,000.  If a short
Limitation  Year is created because of an amendment changing the Limitation Year
to  a  different  12  consecutive  month period, the Defined Contribution Dollar
Limit is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number
of  months  in  the  short  Limitation  Year and the denominator of which is 12.

  (e)  EMPLOYER

The  Employer  is  the  Employer that adopts this Plan together with all Related
Employers.  For this purpose, the definition of Related Employer in Section 1.09
of  this  Plan  is  modified  by  Code  Section  415(h).

 (f)   LIMITATION  YEAR

The  Limitation  Year will be the 12 consecutive month period which is specified
in  Article  1  of  this  Plan  and  which  is  adopted  for all qualified plans
maintained  by  the Plan Sponsor pursuant to a Written Resolution adopted by the
Plan  Sponsor.  In  the event of a change in the Limitation Year, the additional
limitations  of  Treasury  Regulation  1.415-2(b)(4)(iii)  will  also  apply.

which  the  Employee  was  an  Eligible  Employee.

(4)  CONTRIBUTION  PERCENTAGE

Contribution  Percentage  means,  for  any  specified  group, the average of the
ratios  calculated  (to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) separately for
each Participant in the group, of the amount of Employee After-tax Contributions
and  Matching  Contributions  which are made by or on behalf of each Participant
for  a  Plan  Year  to  each  Participant's  Compensation  for  the  Plan  Year.

For  purposes  of  determining the Contribution Percentage, each Employee who is
eligible  under  the  terms of the Plan to make or to have contributions made on
his  behalf  is  treated  as  a  Participant.  The Contribution Percentage of an
eligible  Employee  who makes no Employee After-tax Contribution and receives no
Matching  Contribution  is  zero.

The  Contribution  Percentage  of  a  Participant  who  is  a Highly Compensated
Employee  for  the  Plan  Year  and  who  is eligible to make Employee After-tax
Contributions  or  receive  an  allocation  of Matching Contributions (including
Elective  Contributions  and  Nonelective  Contributions  which  are  treated as
Employee  or  Matching Contributions for purposes of the Contribution Percentage
Test)  allocated  to his accounts under two or more plans which are sponsored by
the  Employer  will  be  determined  as  if  the Employee After-tax and Matching
Contributions were made under a single plan.  For purposes of this paragraph, if
a  Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more such plans which have
different  Plan  Years,  all  plans ending with or within the same calendar year
will  be  treated  as  a  single  plan.

(5) CONTRIBUTION  PERCENTAGE  TEST

The  Contribution  Percentage  Test  is  a  test applied on a Plan Year basis to
determine  whether  a  plan  meets  the  requirements  of  Code  Section 401(m).

In  each  of  the  following  tests,  the Contribution Percentage for the Highly
Compensated  Group  for a Plan Year is compared with the Contribution Percentage
for the Non-highly Compensated Group for the current Plan Year (or the preceding
Plan  Year  if so elected by the Employer in an Appendix to this Plan; provided,
however,  that  if  such an election is made, it will be made in accordance with
regulations  issued  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury).

In  the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan (if this is not a successor plan
within  the  meaning  of Treasury Regulation 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)), the Contribution
Percentage  for  the  Non-highly  Compensated  Group  will  be  the Contribution
Percentage  for  the Non-highly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year or, if
the  Employer  elects  to  use  3% as the Deferral Percentage for the first Plan
Year,  the  Contribution Percentage that would result if the Deferral Percentage
for  each  Non-highly  Compensated  Participant  were  3%.

The  Contribution  Percentage  Test  may be met by either satisfying the General
Contribution  Percentage  Test  or the Alternative Contribution Percentage Test.

The  General  Contribution  Percentage  Test  is  satisfied  if the Contribution
Percentage  for  the  Highly  Compensated  Group  does  not  exceed  125% of the
Contribution  Percentage  for  the  Non-highly  Compensated  Group.

The  Alternative  Contribution  Percentage Test is satisfied if the Contribution
Percentage  for  the  Highly  Compensated  Group  does not exceed the lesser of:

(A)  the Contribution Percentage for the Non-highly Compensated Group plus 2
percentage points, or

(B)  the Contribution Percentage for the Non-highly Compensated Group multiplied
by 2.0.

If  (i)  one or more Highly Compensated Employees of the Employer or any Related
Employer  are eligible to participate in both a Cash or Deferred Arrangement and
a  plan  which  provides  for  Employee  After-tax  Contributions  or  Matching
Contributions,  (ii)  the  Deferral  Percentage for the Highly Compensated Group
does  not  satisfy  the  General  Deferral  Percentage  Test,  and  (iii)  the
Contribution  Percentage  for  the Highly Compensated Group does not satisfy the
General Contribution Percentage Test, then the Contribution Percentage Test will
be  deemed  to  be  satisfied only if the sum of the Deferral Percentage and the
Contribution  Percentage  for  the  Highly Compensated Group does not exceed the
Aggregate  Limit.

The  Plan  will  not  fail  to  satisfy  the Contribution Percentage test merely
because  all of the Eligible Employees under the Plan for a Plan Year are Highly
Compensated  Employees.

(6)  DEFERRAL  PERCENTAGE
Deferral  Percentage  means,  for any specified group, the average of the ratios
calculated  (to  the  nearest  one-hundredth of one percent) separately for each
Participant in the group, of the amount of Elective Contributions which are made
on behalf of each Participant for a Plan Year to each Participant's Compensation
for  the  Plan  Year.

For  purposes  of  determining  the  Deferral  Percentage,  each Employee who is
eligible under the terms of the Plan to have contributions made on his behalf is
treated  as  a Participant.  The Deferral Percentage of an eligible Employee who
makes  no  Elective  Contribution  is  zero.

The  Deferral  Percentage  of a Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee
for  the Plan Year and who is eligible to have Elective Contributions (including
Nonelective  Contributions  or  Matching  Contributions  which  are  treated  as
Elective  Contributions  for purposes of the Deferral Percentage Test) allocated
to  his  accounts  under  two  or  more  Cash or Deferred Arrangements which are
maintained  by  the Employer will be determined as if the Elective Contributions
were  made  under  a  single  Arrangement.  For purposes of this paragraph, if a
Highly  Compensated  Employee  participates  in  two  or  more  Cash or Deferred
Arrangements  which have different Plan Years, all Cash or Deferred Arrangements
ending  with  or  within  the  same  calendar  year  will be treated as a single
Arrangement.

(7)   DEFERRAL  PERCENTAGE  TEST

The Deferral Percentage Test is a test applied on a Plan Year basis to determine
whether  a  plan  meets  the  requirements  of  Code  Section  401(k).

In  each  of  the  following  tests,  the  Deferral  Percentage  for  the Highly
Compensated  Group  for a Plan Year is compared with the Deferral Percentage for
the  Non-highly  Compensated  Group  for the current Plan Year (or the preceding
Plan  Year  if  elected  by  the Employer in an Appendix to this Plan; provided,
however,  that  if  such an election is made, it will be made in accordance with
regulations  issued  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury).

In  the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan (if this is not a successor plan
within  the  meaning  of  Treasury  Regulation  1.401(k)-1(d)(3)),  the Deferral
Percentage  for  the  Non-highly Compensated Group will be 3%, or, if elected by
the  Employer,  the  actual  Deferral  Percentage for the Non-highly Compensated
Group  for  the  first  Plan  Year.

The  Deferral  Percentage  Test  may  be  met  by  either satisfying the General
Deferral  Percentage  Test  or  the  Alternative  Deferral  Percentage  Test.

The General Deferral Percentage Test is satisfied if the Deferral Percentage for
the Highly Compensated Group does not exceed 125% of the Deferral Percentage for
the  Non-highly  Compensated  Group.

The Alternative Deferral Percentage Test is satisfied if the Deferral Percentage
for  the  Highly  Compensated  Group  does  not  exceed  the  lesser  of:

(A)  the Deferral Percentage for the Non-highly Compensated Group plus 2
percentage points, or

(B)  the Deferral Percentage for the Non-highly Compensated Group multiplied
by 2.0.

If  (i)  one or more Highly Compensated Employees of the Employer or any Related
Employer  are eligible to participate in both a Cash or Deferred Arrangement and
a  plan  which  provides  for  Employee  After-tax  Contributions  or  Matching
Contributions,  (ii)  the  Deferral  Percentage for the Highly Compensated Group
does  not  satisfy  the  General  Deferral  Percentage  Test,  and  (iii)  the
Contribution  Percentage  for  the Highly Compensated Group does not satisfy the
General  Contribution Percentage Test, then the Deferral Percentage Test will be
deemed  to  be  satisfied  only  if  the  sum of the Deferral Percentage and the
Contribution  Percentage  for  the  Highly Compensated Group does not exceed the
Aggregate  Limit.

The  Plan  will  not fail to satisfy the Deferral Percentage test merely because
all  of  the  Eligible  Employees  under  the  Plan  for  a Plan Year are Highly
Compensated  Employees.

(8)  ELECTIVE  CONTRIBUTION

Elective  Contribution  means any contribution made by the Employer to a Cash or
Deferred  Arrangement  on  behalf  of  and  at  the  election of an Employee. An
Elective  Contribution will be taken into account for a given Plan Year only if:

(A)     The  Elective  Contribution is allocated to the Participant's Account as
of  a  date  within  the  Plan  Year  to  which  it  relates;

(B)     The  allocation  is  not contingent upon the Employee's participation in
the  Plan  or  performance  of  services  on any date after the allocation date;

(C)     The Elective Contribution is actually paid to the trust no later than 12
months  after  the  end  of  the  Plan  Year  to which the Elective Contribution
relates;  and

(D)     The  Elective  Contribution relates to Compensation which either (i) but
for  the  Participant's  election  to  defer,  would  have  been received by the
Participant  in  the  Plan Year or (ii) is attributable to services performed by
the  Participant  in  the  Plan  Year and, but for the Participant's election to
defer,  would  have  been  received  by  the Participant within two and one-half
months  after  the  close  of  the  Plan  Year.

Elective Contributions will be treated as Employer Contributions for purposes of
Code  Sections  401(a),  401(k),  402(a), 404, 409, 411, 412, 415, 416, and 417.

(9) ELECTIVE  DEFERRAL

Elective  Deferral  means  the  sum  of  the  following:

(A)     Any  Elective  Contribution  to  any Cash or Deferred Arrangement to the
extent  it  is  not includable in the Participant's gross income for the taxable
year  of  contribution;

(B)     Any employer contribution to a simplified employee pension as defined in
Code  Section  408(k)  to  the  extent not includable in the Participant's gross
income  for  the  taxable  year  of  contribution;

(C)     Any  employer  contribution  to  an  annuity contract under Code Section
403(b)  under  a  salary reduction agreement to the extent not includable in the
Participant's  gross  income  for  the  taxable  year  of  contribution;  plus

(D)     Any  employee  contribution  designated  as  deductible  under  a  trust
described  in  Code  Section  501(c)(18)  for  the taxable year of contribution.

(10)  ELIGIBLE  EMPLOYEE

Eligible  Employee  means  an Employee who is directly or indirectly eligible to
make a Cash or Deferred Election under the Plan for all or a portion of the Plan
Year.  An Employee who is unable to make a Cash or Deferred Election because the
Employee  has  not contributed to another plan is also an Eligible Employee.  An
Employee  who  would  be  eligible  to  make  Elective  Contributions  but for a
suspension  due  to a distribution, a loan, or an election not to participate in
the  Plan,  is  treated  as  an  Eligible  Employee for purposes of Code Section
401(k)(3)  and  401(m)  for  a Plan Year even though the Employee may not make a
Cash  or  Deferred  Election  due to the suspension.  Also, an Employee will not
fail  to  be  treated  as  an  Eligible Employee merely because the employee may
receive  no  additional  Annual  Additions  because of Code Section 415(c)(1) or
415(e).

(11)  EMPLOYEE  AFTER-TAX  CONTRIBUTION

Employee  After-tax  Contribution  means any contribution made by an Employee to
any  plan maintained by the Employer or any Related Employer which is other than
an  Elective  Contribution  and  which  is  designated or treated at the time of
contribution  as  an  after-tax  contribution.  Employee After-tax Contributions
include  amounts  attributable to Excess Contributions which are recharacterized
as  Employee  After-tax  Contributions.

(12)  EXCESS  CONTRIBUTION

Excess  Contribution means, for each member of the Highly Compensated Group, the
amount  of  Elective  Contribution  (including  any  Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions which are treated as Elective
Contributions) which exceeds the maximum contribution which could be made if the
Deferral  Percentage  Test  were  to  be  satisfied.

(13)  EXCESS  AGGREGATE  CONTRIBUTION

Excess  Aggregate  Contribution means, for each member of the Highly Compensated
Group,  the  amount  of Employee After-tax and Matching Contributions (including
any  Qualified  Nonelective  Contributions  and Elective Contributions which are
treated  as Matching Contributions) which exceeds the maximum contribution which
could  be  made  if  the  Contribution  Percentage  Test  were  to be satisfied.

(14)  EXCESS  DEFERRAL

Excess  Deferral  means,  for  a  given calendar year, that amount by which each
Participant's  total  Elective Deferrals under all plans of all employers exceed
the  dollar  limit  in  effect  under Code Section 402(g) for the calendar year.

(15)  MATCHING  CONTRIBUTION

Matching  Contribution  means  any contribution made by the Employer to any plan
maintained by the Employer or any Related Employer which is based on an Elective
Contribution  or an Employee After-tax Contribution together with any forfeiture
allocated  to  the Participant's Account on the basis of Elective Contributions,
Employee  After-tax  Contributions  or  Matching  Contributions.  A  Matching
Contribution  will  be  taken  into  account  for  a  given  Plan  Year only if:

(A)     The  Matching Contribution is allocated to a Participant's Account as of
a  date  within  the  Plan  Year  to  which  it  relates;

(B)     The  allocation  is  not contingent upon the Employee's participation in
the  Plan  or  performance  of  services  on any date after the allocation date;

(C)     The Matching Contribution is actually paid to the Trust no later than 12
months  after  the  end  of  the  Plan  Year  to which the Matching Contribution
relates;  and

(D)     The  Matching Contribution is based on an Elective or Employee After-tax
Contribution  for  the  Plan  Year.

Any contribution or allocation, other than a Qualified Nonelective Contribution,
which  is  used  to meet the minimum contribution or benefit requirement of Code
Section  416 is not treated as being based on Elective Contributions or Employee
After-tax Contributions and therefore is not treated as a Matching Contribution.

Qualified  Matching  Contribution  means  a  Matching Contribution which is 100%
vested  and  may be withdrawn or distributed only under the conditions described
in  Treasury  Regulation  1.401(k)-1(d).

(16)  NONELECTIVE  CONTRIBUTION

Nonelective  Contribution means any Employer contribution, other than a Matching
Contribution,  which  meets  all  of  the  following  requirements:

(A)     The  Nonelective Contribution is allocated to a Participant's Account as
of  a  date  within  the  Plan  Year  to  which  it  relates;

(B)     The  allocation  is  not contingent upon the Employee's participation in
the  Plan  or  performance  of  services  on any date after the allocation date;

(C)     The Nonelective Contribution is actually paid to the Trust no later than
12  months  after the end of the Plan Year to which the Nonelective Contribution
relates;  and

(D)     The  Employee may not elect to have the Nonelective Contribution paid in
cash  in  lieu  of  being  contributed  to  the  Plan.

Qualified  Nonelective  Contribution  means  a Nonelective Contribution which is
100%  vested  and  may  be  withdrawn  or  distributed only under the conditions
described  in  Treasury  Regulation  1.401(k)-1(d).

(c)  APPLICATION  OF  DEFERRAL  PERCENTAGE  TEST

All  Elective  Contributions,  including  any  Elective  Contributions which are
treated  as  Employee  After-tax  or  Matching Contributions with respect to the
Contribution  Percentage  Test,  must  satisfy  the  Deferral  Percentage  Test.
Furthermore,  any  Elective  Contributions  which  are  not  treated as Employee
After-tax  or Matching Contributions with respect to the Contribution Percentage
Test  must  satisfy  the  Deferral Percentage Test.  The Plan Administrator will
determine  as  soon  as administratively feasible after the end of the Plan Year
whether  the  Deferral  Percentage  Test  has  been  satisfied.  If the Deferral
Percentage  Test  is not satisfied, the Employer may elect to make an additional
contribution  to  the  Plan on account of the Non-highly Compensated Group.  The
additional  contribution  will  be  treated  as  a  Nonelective  Contribution.

If  the  Deferral  Percentage  Test  is  not  satisfied  after  any  Nonelective
Contributions,  the  Plan  Administrator  may,  in  its  sole  discretion,
recharacterize  all  or  any  portion  of the Excess Contribution of each Highly
Compensated Employee as an Employee After-tax Contribution if Employee After-tax
Contributions  are otherwise allowed by the Plan.  If so, the Plan Administrator
will  notify  all  affected Participants and the Internal Revenue Service of the
amount  recharacterized  no later than the 15th day of the third month following
the  end  of  the  Plan  Year in which the Excess Contribution was made.  Excess
Contributions  will  be  includable  in  the  Participant's  gross income on the
earliest date any Elective Contribution made on behalf of the Participant during
the  Plan  Year  would have been received by the Participant had the Participant
elected  to  receive  the  amount in cash.  Recharacterized Excess Contributions
will  continue  to  be  treated  as  Employer  contributions  that  are Elective
Contributions  for  all  other  purposes under the Code, including Code Sections
401(a)  (other than 401(a)(4) and 401(m)), 404, 409, 411, 412, 415, 416, 417 and
401(k)(2).  With  respect to the Plan Year for which the Excess Contribution was
made,  the  Plan  Administrator  will  treat  the  recharacterized  amount as an
Employee After-tax Contribution for purposes of the Deferral Percentage Test and
the  Contribution  Percentage  Test  and for purposes of determining whether the
Plan  meets  the  requirements  of Code Section 401(a)(4), but not for any other
purposes  under  this  Plan.  Therefore,  recharacterized  amounts  will  remain
subject  to  the  nonforfeiture  requirements and distribution limitations which
apply  to  Elective  Contributions.

If  the Deferral Percentage Test is still not satisfied, then after the close of
the  Plan Year in which the Excess Contribution arose but within 12 months after
the  close  of that Plan Year, the Plan Administrator will distribute the Excess
Contributions,  together  with  allocable  income, to Participants of the Highly
Compensated  Group  to  the  extent necessary to satisfy the Deferral Percentage
Test.  Failure  to  do so will cause the Plan to not satisfy the requirements of
Code  Section  401(a)(4) for the Plan Year for which the Excess Contribution was
made and for all subsequent Plan Years for which the Excess Contribution remains
uncorrected.

The  amount  of  Excess  Contribution  to be distributed to a Highly Compensated
Employee  for  a  Plan  Year  will be reduced by any Excess Deferrals previously
distributed  to  the Participant for the calendar year ending with or within the
Plan  Year  in  accordance  with  Code  Section  402(g)(2).

Excess  Contributions  will be treated as Employer contributions for purposes of
Code  Sections  404  and  415  even  if  distributed  from  the  Plan.

(d) APPLICATION  OF  CONTRIBUTION  PERCENTAGE  TEST

Employee  After-tax  Contributions  and Matching Contributions, disregarding any
Matching  Contributions which are treated as Elective Contributions with respect
to  the Deferral Percentage Test, must satisfy the Contribution Percentage Test.
The Plan Administrator will determine as soon as administratively feasible after
the  end  of the Plan Year whether the Contribution Test has been satisfied.  If
the  Contribution  Percentage  Test  is not satisfied, the Employer may elect to
make  an  additional  contribution to the Plan for the benefit of the Non-Highly
Compensated Group.  The additional contribution will be treated as a Nonelective
Contribution.

If the Contribution Percentage Test is still not satisfied, then after the close
of  the Plan Year in which the Excess Aggregate Contribution arose but within 12
months after the close of that Plan Year, the Plan Administrator will distribute
(or  forfeit,  to  the  extent  not  vested) the Excess Aggregate Contributions,
together  with allocable income, to Participants of the Highly Compensated Group
to the extent necessary to satisfy the Contribution Percentage Test.  Failure to
do  so  will  cause  the  Plan  to  not satisfy the requirements of Code Section
401(a)(4) for the Plan Year for which the Excess Aggregate Contribution was made
and  for  all  subsequent Plan Years for which the Excess Aggregate Contribution
remains  uncorrected.

The  determination  of any Excess Aggregate Contributions will be made after the
recharacterization  of  any  Excess  Contributions  as  Employee  After-tax
Contributions.

Excess Aggregate Contributions, including forfeited Matching Contributions, will
be  treated  as Employer contributions for purposes of Code Sections 404 and 415
even  if  they  are  distributed  from  the  Plan.

Forfeited  Matching  Contributions that are reallocated to the Accounts of other
Participants  are  treated  as  Annual  Additions under Code Section 415 for the
Participant whose Accounts they are reallocated to and for the Participants from
whose  Accounts  they  are  forfeited.

(e) REDUCTION  OF  EXCESS  AMOUNTS

For  the purpose of determining the total amounts of Excess Contributions and/or
Excess  Aggregate  Contributions to be recharacterized, returned to Participants
or  forfeited  as the case may be, the total Excess Contribution or total Excess
Aggregate  Contribution  will  be  reduced  in  a  manner  so  that the Deferral
Percentage  or the Contribution Percentage (Relevant Percentage) of the affected
Participant(s)  with  the highest Relevant Percentage will first be lowered to a
point  not  less  than  the  level  of the affected Participant(s) with the next
highest  Relevant  Percentage.  If  further  overall  reductions are required to
satisfy  the  relevant  test,  each  of  the  above  Participants' (or groups of
Participants')  Relevant Percentage will be lowered to a point not less than the
level  of the affected Participant(s) with the next highest Relevant Percentage,
and  so on continuing until sufficient total reductions have occurred to achieve
satisfaction  of  the  relevant  test.

The  total  Excess Contributions or Excess Aggregate Contributions so determined
will  then  be  recharacterized, returned to Participants or forfeited in such a
manner that the amount of such contributions allocated to the Highly Compensated
Participant(s) by or for whom the highest amount of such contributions have been
made  during  the Plan Year will first be lowered to an amount not less than the
amount  made  by or for the Highly Compensated Participant with the next highest
amount  of  such contributions made during the Plan Year.  If further reductions
are  required  to  reduce the accounts of Highly Compensated Participants by the
total of all Excess Contributions or Excess Aggregate Contributions, each of the
above  Participant's  relevant contributions will be lowered to a point not less
than  the  level  of  the  Highly  Compensated Participant with the next highest
amount  of  such  contributions made during the Plan Year, and so on, continuing
until  sufficient  total  reductions have been made to equal the total amount of
Excess  Contributions  and/or excess Aggregate Contributions as the case may be.

(f) PRIORITY  OF  REDUCTIONS

The  Plan Administrator will determine the method and order of correcting Excess
Contributions  and  Excess  Aggregate  Contributions.  The  method of correcting
Excess  Contributions  and  Excess  Aggregate  Contributions  must  meet  the
requirements  of Code Section 401(a)(4).  The determination of whether a rate of
Matching  Contribution  discriminates  under Code Section 401(a)(4) will be made
after  making  any  corrective  distributions  of  Excess  Deferrals,  Excess
Contributions  and  Excess  Aggregate  Contributions.

Excess  Aggregate  Contributions (and any attributable income) will be corrected
first,  by  distributing  any  excess  Employee After-tax Contributions (and any
attributable  income); then by distributing vested excess Matching Contributions
(and  any  attributable  income);  and  finally,  by  forfeiting or distributing
non-vested  Matching Contributions (and any attributable income).  The Plan will
not distribute Employee After-tax Contributions while the Matching Contributions
based  upon  those  Employee  After-tax  Contributions  remain  allocated.

(g)   INCOME

The  income  allocable  to any Excess Contribution made to a given Account for a
given  Plan  Year will be equal to the total income allocated to the Account for
the Plan Year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of
the  Excess Contribution and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of the
balance  of the Account at the beginning of the Plan Year plus the Participant's
Elective  Contributions  and  amounts  treated as Elective Contributions for the
Plan  Year.

The  income  allocable  to  any  Excess  Aggregate  Contribution made to a given
Account for a given Plan Year will be equal to the total income allocated to the
Account  for  the Plan Year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the  amount of the Excess Aggregate Contribution and the denominator of which is
equal to the sum of the balance of the Account at the beginning of the Plan Year
plus the Participant's Employee After-tax and Matching Contributions and amounts
treated  as  Employee  After-tax  and  Matching Contributions for the Plan Year.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Plan  may  use  any reasonable method for
computing  the  income  allocable to any Excess Contribution or Excess Aggregate
Contribution  provided  the  method  does not violate Code Section 401(a)(4), is
used  consistently  for all corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan
Year,  and  is  used  by  the  Plan  for  allocating income to the Participants'
Accounts.

Income  includes  all  earnings and appreciation, including interest, dividends,
rents, royalties, gains from the sale of property, and appreciation in the value
of  stocks,  bonds,  annuity  and  life  insurance contracts and other property,
regardless  of  whether  the  appreciation  has  been  realized.

(h)  ALLOCATION  OF  QUALIFIED  MATCHING  CONTRIBUTIONS.

To  the  extent that the Employer designates all or any portion of contributions
for  the  Plan  Year  as a Qualified Matching Contribution as defined in Section
11.02(b),  such  contribution  will be allocated to the Employee Accounts of all
eligible  Participants  by  the ratio which each eligible Participant's Employee
Contributions  for  the  Plan  Year  which  are  not  in  excess  of  6%  of the
Participant's  Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total of all eligible
Participants'  Employee Contributions for the Plan Year that do not exceed 6% of
each  Participant's  Compensation  for  the  Plan  Year.

(i)  ALLOCATION  OF  QUALIFIED  NON-ELECTIVE  CONTRIBUTIONS.

To  the  extent that the Employer designates all or any portion of contributions
for the Plan Year as a Qualified Non-elective Contribution as defined in Section
11.02(b),  such  contribution will be allocated to the Employee Accounts of some
or  all  eligible Participant(s) (i) beginning with such eligible Participant(s)
who  have  the lowest testing Compensation as defined in Section 11.02(b), until
such  eligible  Participant(s) reach their Defined Contribution Limit as defined
in  Section  10.03(d),  or  the  amount  designated  as  Qualified  Non-elective
Contribution  is  fully  allocated;  and  then  (ii)  continuing with successive
eligible  Participants  or  groups  of  eligible Participants in the same manner
until  the amount of the Qualified Non-elective Contribution is fully allocated.

(j) TREATMENT  AS  ELECTIVE  CONTRIBUTIONS

The  Plan  Administrator  may,  in  its  discretion, treat all or any portion of
Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions or both,
whether to this Plan or to any other qualified plan which has the same Plan Year
and  is  maintained  by  the  Employer  or  a  Related  Employer,  as  Elective
Contributions  for  purposes  of satisfying the Deferral Percentage Test if they
meet  all  of  the  following  requirements:

(1)     All  Nonelective  Contributions,  including  the  Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions  treated  as  Elective  Contributions for purposes of the Deferral
Percentage  Test,  satisfy  the  requirements  of  Code  Section  401(a)(4);

(2)     Any  Nonelective  Contributions  which  are  not  treated  as  Elective
Contributions  for  purposes  of  the  Deferral  Percentage  Test or as Matching
Contributions  for  purposes  of  the  Contribution  Percentage Test satisfy the
requirements  of  Code  Section  401(a)(4);

(3)     The  Qualified  Matching  Contributions  which  are  treated as Elective
Contributions  for  purposes  of the Deferral Percentage Test are not taken into
account  in  determining  whether  any Employee After-tax Contributions or other
Matching  Contributions  satisfy  the  Contribution  Percentage  Test;

(4)     Any  Matching  Contributions  which  are  not  treated  as  Elective
Contributions  for  purposes  of  the  Deferral  Percentage  Test  satisfy  the
requirements  of  Code  Section  401(m);  and

(5)     The plan which includes the Cash or Deferred Arrangement and the plan or
plans  to  which  the Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching
Contributions  are made could be aggregated for purposes of Code Section 410(b).

(k)   TREATMENT  AS  MATCHING  CONTRIBUTIONS

The  Plan  Administrator  may,  in  its  discretion, treat all or any portion of
Qualified  Nonelective  Contributions or Elective Contributions or both, whether
to  this Plan or to any other qualified plan which has the same Plan Year and is
maintained  by the Employer or a Related Employer, as Matching Contributions for
purposes  of satisfying the Contribution Percentage Test if they meet all of the
following  requirements:

(1)     All  Nonelective  Contributions,  including  the  Qualified  Nonelective
Contributions treated as Matching Contributions for purposes of the Contribution
Percentage  Test,  satisfy  the  requirements  of  Code  Section  401(a)(4);

(2)     Any  Nonelective  Contributions  which  are  not  treated  as  Elective
Contributions  for  purposes  of  the  Deferral  Percentage  Test or as Matching
Contributions  for  purposes  of  the  Contribution  Percentage Test satisfy the
requirements  of  Code  Section  401(a)(4);

(3)     The  Elective  Contributions which are treated as Matching Contributions
for  purposes  of the Contribution Percentage Test are not taken into account in
determining  whether  any  other  Elective  Contributions  satisfy  the Deferral
Percentage  Test;

(4)     The Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Elective Contributions which
are  treated  as  Matching  Contributions  for  purposes  of  the  Contribution
Percentage  Test  are  not  taken  into account in determining whether any other
contributions  or  benefits  satisfy  Code  Section  401(a);

(5)     All  Elective  Contributions,  including  those  treated  as  Matching
Contributions  for  purposes  of  the  Contribution Percentage Test, satisfy the
requirements  of  Code  Section  401(k)(3);  and

(6)     The  plan  that  takes  Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Elective
Contributions  into  account  in  determining  whether  Employee  After-tax  and
Matching Contributions satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(2)(A) and
the  plan or plans to which the Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Elective
Contributions  are made could be aggregated for purposes of Code Section 410(b).

(l) AGGREGATION  OF  PLANS

If  the  Employer  or  a Related Employer sponsors one or more other plans which
include  a Cash or Deferred Arrangement, the Employer may elect to treat any two
or  more  of  such plans as an aggregated single plan for purposes of satisfying
Code  Sections  401(a)(4), 401(k) and 410(b).  The Cash or Deferred Arrangements
included  in  such  aggregated plans will be treated as a single Arrangement for
purposes  of  this  Section.  However,  only those plans that have the same plan
year  may  be  so  aggregated.

If  the Employer or a Related Employer sponsors one or more other plans to which
Employee  After-tax  Contributions  or  Matching  Contributions  are  made,  the
Employer  may  elect  to  treat  any  two or more of such plans as an aggregated
single  plan  for  purposes  of  satisfying  Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(m) and
410(b).  However,  only  those  plans  that  have  the  same plan year may be so
aggregated.

Any  such  aggregation  must  be  made  in  accordance  with Treasury Regulation
1.401(k)-1(b)(3).  For  example, contributions and allocations under the portion
of  a  plan described in Code Section 4975(e)(7) (an ESOP) may not be aggregated
with the portion of a plan not described in Code Section 4975(e)(7) (a non-ESOP)
for  purposes  of  determining  whether  the  ESOP  or  non-ESOP  satisfies  the
requirements  of  Code  Sections  401(a)(4),  401(k),  401(m)  and  410(b).

Plans  that  could  be  aggregated  under  Code  Section 410(b) but that are not
actually  aggregated for a Plan Year for purposes of Code Section 410(b) may not
be  aggregated  for  purposes  of  Code  Sections  401(k)  and  401(m).

11.03   FAILURE  TO  MEET  MINIMUM  COVERAGE  REQUIREMENTS

The Employer may elect to suspend the requirements to share in the allocation of
a  contribution  for  a given Contribution Period if, for a given Plan Year, the
Plan  fails  to  satisfy  the coverage requirements of Code Section 410(b).  The
election can be made independently for any or all of the Accounts in the Article
3.

If  this  paragraph  applies  for  a  Plan  Year,  the Employer will suspend the
requirements  to  share  in  the  allocation  of  a  contribution  for  a  given
Contribution Period for the Employees who are Participants, beginning first with
Employees employed with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, followed,
if  necessary  to satisfy the coverage requirements of Code Section 410(b), with
Employees  who  have  separated  from service during the Plan Year.  Within each
such  class  of Employees, the Employer will suspend the requirements, beginning
with  the  Employee in that class with the lowest Compensation and continuing to
suspend in ascending order, ranked by Compensation, until the Plan satisfies the
coverage  requirements  under  Code Section 410(b) for the Plan Year.  If two or
more  Employees in a class have the same Compensation, the Employer will suspend
the  requirements  to  share  in the allocation of the contribution for all such
Employees,  irrespective  of  whether  the  Plan  can  satisfy  the  coverage
requirements  by  accruing  benefits  for  fewer  than  all  such  Employees.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                              TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

 12.01  TOP-HEAVY DEFINITIONS

(a)  AGGREGATE ACCOUNT

Aggregate  Account  means,  with  respect  to each Participant, the value of all
accounts  maintained  on  behalf  of  the  Participant,  whether attributable to
Employer  or  Employee  contributions,  used  to determine Top-Heavy Plan status
under  the provisions of a defined contribution plan.  A Participant's Aggregate
Account  as  of  the  Determination  Date  will  be  the  sum  of:

(1)     the  balance  of  his  Account(s)  as  of the most recent valuation date
occurring  within  a 12-month period ending on the Determination Date (excluding
any  amounts  attributable to deductible voluntary employee contributions); plus

(2)     contributions  that  would  be allocated as of a date not later than the
Determination Date, even though those amounts are not yet made or required to be
made;  plus

(3)     any  Plan  Distributions  made  within  the  Plan Year that includes the
Determination  Date  or  within  the  four  preceding  Plan  Years.

(b)  AGGREGATION  GROUP

Aggregation  Group  means  either  a  Required Aggregation Group or a Permissive
Aggregation  Group  as  hereinafter  determined.

(1)  REQUIRED  AGGREGATION  GROUP

Each  plan  of  the  Employer in which a Key Employee is a Participant, and each
other  plan  of  the  Employer  which  enables  any plan in which a Key Employee
participates  to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410, will be
aggregated, and  the  resulting  group  will  be known as a Required Aggregation
Group.

Each  plan in the Required Aggregation Group will be considered a Top-Heavy Plan
if the Required Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group.  No plan in the Required
Aggregation  Group  will  be  considered  a  Top-Heavy  Plan  if  the  Required
Aggregation  Group  is  not  a  Top-Heavy  Group.

(2) PERMISSIVE  AGGREGATION  GROUP

The  Employer may also include any other plan not required to be included in the
Required  Aggregation  Group,  provided  the  resulting  group (to be known as a
Permissive  Aggregation  Group), taken as a whole, would continue to satisfy the
provisions  of  Code  Sections  401(a)(4)  and  410.

Only  a plan that is part of the Required Aggregation Group will be considered a
Top-Heavy  Plan  if  the  Permissive Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group.  No
plan  in the Permissive Aggregation Group will be considered a Top-Heavy Plan if
the  Permissive  Aggregation  Group  is  not  a  Top-Heavy  Group.

Only  those  plans  of the Employer in which the Determination Dates fall within
the  same  calendar  year  will  be aggregated in order to determine whether the
plans  are  Top-Heavy  Plans.

(c) DETERMINATION  DATE

Determination  Date  means  the  last day of the preceding Plan Year, or, in the
case  of  the  first  Plan  Year,  the  last  day  of  the  first  Plan  Year.

(d)  KEY  EMPLOYEE

Key Employee means any Employee or former Employee (and his Beneficiary) who, at
any  time  during  the  Plan  Year or any of the preceding four Plan Years, was:

(1)     A  "Five Percent Owner" of the Employer.  "Five Percent Owner" means any
person  who  owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section
318)  more  than  5%  of  the  value of the outstanding stock of the Employer or
stock possessing more than 5% of the total combined voting power of all stock of
the  Employer.  If  the  Employer is not a corporation, Five Percent Owner means
any  person  who  owns  more  than  5% of the capital or profits interest in the
Employer.  In determining percentage ownership hereunder, Related Employers will
be  treated  as  separate  Employers;  or

(2)     A  "One  Percent  Owner"  of  the  Employer having Compensation from the
Employer  of  more than $150,000.  "One Percent Owner" means any person who owns
(or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) more than 1%
of  the  value of the outstanding stock of the Employer or stock possessing more
than 1% of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Employer.  If the
Employer  is not a corporation, One Percent Owner means any person who owns more
than  1%  of  the  capital  or profits interest in the Employer.  In determining
percentage  ownership  hereunder,  Related Employers will be treated as separate
Employers.  However,  in  determining  whether an individual has Compensation of
more  than  $150,000, Compensation from each Related Employer will be taken into
account.

(3)     One  of  the  10 Employees having Compensation not less than the Defined
Contribution Dollar Limit (as defined in Section 10.03(j) for the Plan Year) who
owns  (or  is  considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) both
greater than  1/2% interest and the largest interests in all Employers required
to be  aggregated  under  Code  Sections  414(b), (c), (m) and (o);

(4)     An  officer  (within  the  meaning of the regulations under Code Section
416) of the Employer having Compensation greater than 50% of the defined benefit
dollar  limit  as  defined  in  Code  Section  415(b)  for  the  Plan  Year;

For  purposes  of  determining whether an Employee is a Key Employee, the period
used  to  determine  an  Employee's  Compensation  is  the  Plan  Year.

(e)  NON-KEY EMPLOYEE

Non-Key Employee means any Employee (and his Beneficiaries) who is not a Key
Employee.

(f)  PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS

Plan  distributions  include  distributions  made  before  January  1, 1984, and
distributions  under  a  terminated  plan  which, if it had not been terminated,
would  have  been  required  to  be  included in an aggregation group.  However,
distributions  made  after  the valuation date and before the Determination Date
are  not  included  to  the  extent  that  they  are  already  included  in  the
Participant's  Single  Sum  Benefit  as  of  the  valuation  date.

With  respect  to  "unrelated" rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (those which
are  both  initiated  by  an  employee  and  made  from a plan maintained by one
employer  to  a  plan  maintained  by  another  employer), if such a rollover or
plan-to-plan  transfer  is  made  from  this  Plan,  it  will be considered as a
distribution  for  purposes of this Section.  If such a rollover or plan-to-plan
transfer  is  made  to  this  Plan,  it  will  not  be considered as part of the
Participant's  Single  Sum  Benefit.  However,  an  unrelated  rollover  or
plan-to-plan  transfer  accepted  before  January 1, 1984, will be considered as
part  of  the  Participant's  Single  Sum  Benefit.

With  respect to "related" rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (those which are
either  not  initiated  by an employee or are made from one plan to another plan
maintained by the same employer), if such a rollover or plan-to-plan transfer is
made from this Plan, it will not be considered as a distribution for purposes of
this Section.  If such a rollover or plan-to-plan transfer is made to this Plan,
it  will  be  considered  as  part  of  the  Participant's  Single  Sum Benefit.

(g)  PRESENT  VALUE  OF  ACCRUED  BENEFIT

In  the case of a defined benefit plan, a Participant's Present Value of Accrued
Benefit,  for  Top-Heavy  determination  purposes,  will be determined using the
following  rules:

(1)     The  Present  Value of Accrued Benefit will be determined as of the most
recent  "valuation  date"  within  a 12-month period ending on the Determination
Date.

(2)     For  the  first  Plan Year, the Present Value of Accrued Benefit will be
determined  as if (A) the Participant terminated service as of the Determination
Date;  or  (B)  the  Participant terminated  service  as  of  the  valuation
date,  but  taking into account the estimated  Present  Value  of  Accrued
Benefits  as  of the Determination Date.

(3)     For  any  other  Plan Year, the Present Value of Accrued Benefit will be
determined  as  if  the Participant terminated service as of the valuation date.

(4)     The  valuation date must be the same date used for computing the defined
benefit  plan  minimum  funding  costs,  regardless  of whether a calculation is
performed  that  plan  year.

(5)  A Participant's Present Value of Accrued Benefit as of a Determination Date
will be the sum of:

(A)  the present value of his Accrued Benefit determined using the actuarial
assumptions which are specified below; plus

(B)  any  Plan  Distributions  made  within  the  Plan  Year  that includes the
Determination Date or within the four preceding  Plan  Years;  plus

(C)     any  employee  contributions, whether voluntary  or mandatory. However,
amounts  attributable  to qualified voluntary  employee  contributions,  as
defined  in  Code  Section 219(e)(2) will not be considered to be a part of the
Participant's  Present  Value  of Accrued Benefit.

For  purposes  of this Section, the present value of a Participant's Accrued
Benefit will be equal to the greater of the present  value determined using the
actuarial assumptions which are specified in the defined benefit plan or the
present value  determined  using  the  Applicable  Interest  Rate  and  the
Applicable  Mortality  Table.

The  Applicable  Interest  Rate  is the rate equal to the annual rate of
interest on 30-year Treasury securities for the month  of November  preceding
the  first  day  of  the year of distribution or such other time as the
Secretary of the Treasury  may  by  regulations  prescribe.

The  Applicable  Mortality Table is the table based on the mortality rates in
Revenue Ruling 95-6 or such other table as the  Secretary of  the Treasury  may
later  prescribe.

(6)     Solely  for  the purpose of determining if this Plan (or any other plan
included in a Required Aggregation Group of  which  this  Plan  is  a  part) is
Top-Heavy, the Accrued Benefit of any Employee other than a Key Employee will
be determined  under

(A)     the  method,  if  any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under
all plans maintained by the Employer or any  Related  Employer,  or

(B)     if  there  is  no such method, as if the benefit accrued no more rapidly
than the slowest accrual rate permitted under  the  fractional  accrual  rate
of  Code  Section  411(b)(1)(C).

(h)   SINGLE  SUM  BENEFIT

The  Single  Sum  Benefit  for any Participant in a defined benefit pension plan
will  be  equal to his Present Value of Accrued Benefit.  The Single Sum Benefit
for  any  Participant  in  a  defined  contribution  plan  will  be equal to his
Aggregate  Account.

(i)  TOP-HEAVY  GROUP

Top-Heavy  Group  means  an  Aggregation Group in which, as of the Determination
Date,  the  Single Sum Benefits of all Key Employees under all plans included in
the  group  exceeds  60%  of  a  similar  sum  determined  for all Participants.

Super  Top-Heavy  Group  means  an  Aggregation  Group  in  which,  as  of  the
Determination  Date, the sum of (1) the Single Sum Benefits of all Key Employees
under  all  defined benefit plans included in the group, plus (2) the Single Sum
Benefit  of  all  Key Employees under all defined contribution plans included in
the  group  exceeds  90%  of  a  similar  sum  determined  for all Participants.

(j) TOP-HEAVY  PLAN

This  Plan  will  be a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year beginning after December
31, 1983, in which, as of the Determination Date, the Single Sum Benefits of all
Key  Employees  exceed  60% of the Single Sum Benefits of all Participants under
this  Plan.

This  Plan  will  be  a  Super  Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year beginning after
December  31,  1983,  in  which,  as  of  the Determination Date, the Single Sum
Benefits  of  all  Key  Employees  exceed  90% of the Single Sum Benefits of all
Participants  under  this  Plan.

If  any  Participant  is a Non-Key Employee for a given Plan Year, but was a Key
Employee  for any prior Plan Year, the Participant's Single Sum Benefit will not
be  taken  into  account  for  purposes  of  determining  whether this Plan is a
Top-Heavy  or  Super  Top-Heavy  Plan  (or  whether  any Aggregation Group which
includes  this  Plan  is  a  Top-Heavy  or  Super  Top-Heavy  Group).

If  an  individual has performed no services for the Employer at any time during
the  5-year  period  ending on the Determination Date, any Single Sum Benefit of
such  individual  will  not  be  taken  into account for purposes of determining
whether  this  Plan  is  a  Top-Heavy  or  Super  Top-Heavy Plan (or whether any
Aggregation  Group  which  includes  this  Plan  is  a  Top-Heavy Group or Super
Top-Heavy  Group).

12.02 MINIMUM  BENEFIT  FOR  A  TOP-HEAVY  PLAN

(a) MINIMUM  ALLOCATION  TO  A  DEFINED  CONTRIBUTION  PLAN

Notwithstanding  anything contained herein to the contrary, for any Plan Year in
which  this  Plan  is determined to be Top-Heavy, a Participant who is a Non-Key
Employee  (including  any  Employee  who  is  excluded from the Plan because his
Compensation  is  less  than  a  stated  amount)  will  be entitled to a minimum
allocation  of  Employer  contributions  plus  any reallocated  Forfeitures,  in
addition  to any Matching Contributions allocated under  the  Plan,  equal  to
3% of the Non-Key Employee's Compensation received during  the  Plan  Year while
a Participant in the Plan. This minimum allocation will  be  deposited  to  the
Participant's  Account  specified  by  the  Plan Administrator,  will be subject
to the vesting and distribution rules pertaining to  the  Account  to which it
is deposited, and will be provided to each Non-Key Employee who is a Participant
and is employed by the Employer on the last day of the  Plan  Year whether or
not he or she is an otherwise eligible Participant or fails  to  make  any
mandatory  Employee  contribution  to  the  Plan.

The  percentage  referred  to  in  the  preceding  paragraph will not exceed the
percentage of Compensation at which Elective Contributions to a Cash or Deferred
Arrangement and Employer contributions are made or allocated to the Key Employee
for  whom  such percentage is the largest; provided, however, this sentence will
not apply if the Plan is required to be included in an Aggregation Group to meet
the  requirements  of  Code  Sections  401(a)(4)  or  410(b).

For  any  Plan  Year, the minimum allocation required under this Section will be
reduced  by any other contributions made by the Employer which may be taken into
account  in  satisfying  the  requirements  of Code Section 416(c)(2).  However,
neither  Elective  Contributions  to a Cash or Deferred Arrangement nor Matching
Contributions for Non-Key Employees will be taken into account in satisfying the
requirements  of  Code  Section  416(c)(2).

(b)  MINIMUM  ACCRUED  BENEFIT  UNDER  A  DEFINED  BENEFIT  PLAN

In  lieu  of  the  foregoing,  the  requirements  of Code Section 416(c) will be
satisfied  in any Plan Year in which a Non-key Employee is a Participant in both
this  Plan and a defined benefit pension plan included in a Required Aggregation
Group  which  is  top-heavy  if the Participant is entitled to a minimum accrued
benefit  under  the defined benefit plan equal to the greater of (1) the accrued
benefit  provided under the defined benefit plan or (2) a monthly benefit in the
form of a straight life annuity (with no ancillary benefits) beginning at normal
retirement  date  equal to the Participant's average monthly compensation (which
means  the  average  rate  of Compensation during the five consecutive years, as
defined  for  purposes of determining average monthly compensation, in which the
Participant had the highest Compensation) multiplied by the lesser of (1) 2% for
each  year of benefit service performed while actually participating in the plan
during  a Plan year in which the plan is determined to be Top-Heavy, or (2) 20%.
The  defined  benefit  plan  may  not  satisfy this requirement through Employer
contributions  to  Social  Security.

12.03   MINIMUM  VESTING  SCHEDULE  FOR  A  TOP-HEAVY  PLAN

In  any  Plan  Year  in  which  the Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan, a
Participant's  Vested Accrued Benefit for Employer contributions credited during
that  Plan  Year will be the greater of the Vested Accrued Benefit determined by
applying  the  Vesting  Schedule  provided  in  Article  1 or the Vested Accrued
Benefit  determined  by  applying  the  following  Vesting  Schedule:

                     YEARS OF SERVICE     VESTED PERCENTAGE

                     Less than 2 Years            0%
                     -----------------          ----
                     2 Years                     20%
                                                ----
                     3 Years                     40%
                                                ----
                     4 Years                     60%
                                                ----
                     5 Years                     80%
                                                ----
                     6 Years or More            100%
                    -----------------          ----

The minimum vesting requirements of this Article will apply to all Accounts of a
Participant  that  include contributions subject to the Minimum Vesting Schedule
for  a  Top-Heavy  Plan.

If  in  any  subsequent  Plan  Year  the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan, the
minimum  vesting  requirements  of  this  Article  will continue to apply to all
Accounts  of  the  Participant that include contributions subject to the Minimum
Vesting  Schedule  for  a  Top-Heavy  Plan.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                             TRUSTEE AND TRUST FUND

13.01 ACCEPTANCE  OF  TRUST

The Trustee, by signing this Agreement, accepts this Trust and agrees to perform
the  duties of the Trustee in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

13.02   TRUST  FUND

(a)   PURPOSE  AND  NATURE

The Trustee will establish and maintain a Trust Fund for purposes of providing a
means  of accumulating the assets necessary to provide the benefits which become
payable  under  the  Plan.  The  Trustee  will  receive,  hold  and  invest  all
contributions  made  by  the  Employer,  any  Participating  Employers,  and the
Participants, including the investment earnings thereon.  The Trust Fund arising
from  such  contributions  and  earnings  will consist of all assets held by the
Trustee  under  the Plan and Trust.  All benefits payable under the Plan will be
paid  by  the  Trustee  from  the  Trust  Fund.

Any person having any claim under the Plan will look solely to the assets of the
Trust  Fund  for  satisfaction.  In  no  event  will the Plan Administrator, the
Employer,  any  Employees,  any  officer  of  the  Employer or any agents of the
Employer  or  the Plan Administrator be liable in their individual capacities to
any  person  whomsoever,  under the provisions of this Plan and Trust, except as
provided  by  law.

The  Trust  Fund will be used and applied only in accordance with the provisions
of  the  Plan  and  Trust,  to  provide the benefits thereof, and no part of the
corpus  or  income  of the Trust Fund will be used for, or diverted to, purposes
other  than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries
entitled  to benefits under the Plan, except to the extent specifically provided
elsewhere  herein.

(b) OPERATION  OF  TRUST  FUND

The Trust Fund will be maintained in accordance with the accounting requirements
of  the  Plan.  No  Participant will have any right to any specific asset or any
specific  portion  of  the  Trust  Fund  prior  to  distribution  of  benefits.
Withdrawals from the Trust Fund will be made to provide benefits to Participants
and  Beneficiaries  in  the  amounts  specified by the Plan, and to pay expenses
agreed  to  in  writing  by  the  Plan  Administrator.

(c) INVESTMENTS

The  Trustee will invest the Trust Fund in accordance with the proper directions
of  the  Plan  Administrator  or  Investment  Manager.

(d)  PLAN  SPONSOR  DIRECTION  OF  INVESTMENT

The  Plan  Sponsor will have the right to direct the Trustee with respect to the
investment  and  reinvestment  of assets comprising the Trust Fund.  The Trustee
and  the  Plan  Sponsor  (or  the  Plan Administrator or an Investment Committee
appointed  by  the Plan Sponsor) will execute a letter of agreement as a part of
this Plan containing such conditions, limitations and other provisions they deem
appropriate  before  the  Trustee  will  follow  any Plan Sponsor direction with
respect  to  the investment or reinvestment of any part of the Trust Fund.  Such
letter  of  agreement  may provide for Participant direction with respect to the
investment  and  reinvestment  of  a  Participant's  Accounts in accordance with
Article  4.

(e)   OTHER  PLANS  WITH  ASSETS  IN  THE  TRUST  FUND

If  the  Plan  Sponsor  creates  or maintains one or more employee benefit plans
qualified  under  Code Section 401(a) in addition to this Plan, the Plan Sponsor
may  request  the  Trustee to hold the assets of the additional plan or plans in
the  Trust  Fund.  The Plan Administrator will keep records showing the interest
of the Plan and each additional plan in the Trust Fund unless the Trustee enters
into  an  agreement with the Plan Sponsor to keep separate records for each such
plan.  The  Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator will not permit or cause the
assets  of one plan to be used to pay benefits or the administrative expenses of
any  other  plan  with  assets  in  the  Trust  Fund.

13.03 RECEIPT  OF  CONTRIBUTIONS

The Trustee will be accountable to the Employer for the funds contributed to it,
but  will  have  no  duty to see that the contributions received comply with the
provisions  of  the  Plan.  The  Trustee  will  not  be obligated to collect any
contributions  from  the  Employer  or  the  Participants.

13.04 POWERS  OF  THE  TRUSTEE

The  Trustee's  authority  and discretion with respect to the Trust Fund will at
all  times be subject to the proper written directions of the Plan Administrator
or  Investment Manager.  The Trustee is authorized and empowered, but not by way
of  limitation,  with  the  following  powers,  rights  and  duties:

(a)     To  invest  any part or all of the Trust Fund in any common or preferred

ownership  of  any  assets  of the Plan outside the jurisdiction of the District
Courts  of  the  United  States,  except  as may be expressly authorized in U.S.
Treasury  or  U.S.  Department  of  Labor  regulations.

13.05 INVESTMENT  IN  COMMON  OR  COLLECTIVE  TRUST  FUNDS

Notwithstanding  the  provisions of Section 13.04, the Plan Sponsor specifically
authorizes the Trustee to invest all or any portion of the assets comprising the
Trust  Fund  in  any  common  or  collective trust fund which at the time of the
investment  provides for the pooling of the assets of plans qualified under Code
Section  401(a).  The  authorization  applies  only if such common or collective
trust  fund:  (a)  is exempt from taxation under Code Section 584 or 501(a); (b)
if  exempt  under Code Section 501(a), expressly limits participation to pension
and  profit  sharing trusts which are exempt under Code Section 501(a) by reason
of  qualifying  under Code Section 401(a); (c) prohibits that part of its corpus
or income which equitably belongs to any participating trust from being used for
or  diverted  to  any  purposes  other  than  for  the  exclusive benefit of the
Employees  or  their  Beneficiaries  who  are  entitled  to  benefits under such
participating  trust;  (d)  prohibits assignment by a participating trust of any
part  of  its  equity or interest in the group trust; and (e) the sponsor of the
group  trust  created  or  organized  the  group  trust in the United States and
maintains the group trust at all times as a domestic trust in the United States.
The  provisions  of the common or collective trust fund agreement, as amended by
the  Trustee  from  time to time, are by this reference incorporated within this
Plan  and  Trust.  The  provisions  of  the common or collective trust fund will
govern  any  investment of Plan assets in that fund.  This provision constitutes
the  express  permission  required  by  Section  408(b)(8)  of  ERISA.

13.06  INVESTMENT  IN  INSURANCE  COMPANY  CONTRACTS

The  Trustee  may  invest  any  portion  of  the  Trust  Fund  in  a  deposit
administration,  guaranteed  investment  or  similar type of investment contract
(hereinafter  referred to as Contract); provided, however, that no such Contract
may  provide  for  an  optional  form of benefit which would not be provided for
under  the  provisions  hereof.  The  Trustee  will be the complete and absolute
owner  of  Contracts  held  in  the  Trust  Fund.

The  Trustee may convert from one form to another any Contract held in the Trust
Fund;  designate any mode of settlement; sell or assign any Contract held in the
Trust  Fund;  surrender for cash any Contract held in the Trust Fund; agree with
the  insurance  company  issuing  any  Contract  to  any  release,  reduction,
modification  or  amendment  thereof;  and,  without  limitation  of  any of the
foregoing,  exercise  any  and  all  of  the rights, options and privileges that
belong  to  the  absolute  owner of any Contract held in the Trust Fund that are
granted  by  the  terms  of any such Contract or by the terms of this Agreement.

The  Trustee will hold in the Trust Fund the proceeds of any sale, assignment or
surrender  of  any Contract held in the Trust Fund and any and all dividends and
other payments of any kind received in respect to any Contract held in the Trust
Fund.

13.07   FEES  AND  EXPENSES  FROM  FUND

The Trustee will be entitled to receive reasonable annual compensation as may be
mutually agreed upon from time to time between the Plan Sponsor and the Trustee.
The  Trustee  will  pay  all  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by  it  in  its
administration  and  investment of the Trust Fund from the Trust Fund unless the
Plan  Sponsor  pays  the expenses.  No person who is receiving full pay from the
Plan  Sponsor  will  receive  compensation  for  services  as  Trustee.

13.08  RECORDS  AND  ACCOUNTING

The  Trustee  will  keep  full and complete records of the administration of the
Trust  Fund which the Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator may examine at any
reasonable  time.  As  soon  as practical after the end of each Plan Year and at
such  other  reasonable  times  as the Plan Sponsor may direct, the Trustee will
prepare and deliver to the Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator an accounting
of  the administration of the Trust, including a report on the fair market value
of  all  assets  of  the  Trust  Fund.

13.09 DISTRIBUTION  DIRECTIONS

If no one claims a payment or distribution made from the Trust, the Trustee will
notify the Plan Administrator and will dispose of the payment in accordance with
the  subsequent  written  direction  of  the  Plan  Administrator.

13.10  THIRD  PARTY

No  person  dealing  with  the  Trustee  will  be  obliged  to see to the proper
application  of  any  money  paid  or  property  delivered to the Trustee, or to
inquire  whether the Trustee has acted pursuant to any of the terms of the Plan.
Each  person  dealing  with  the  Trustee  may  act  upon any notice, request or
representation  in  writing  by the Trustee, or by the Trustee's duly authorized
agent,  and  will  not  be  liable  to  any  person whomsoever in so doing.  The
certification  of the Trustee that it is acting in accordance with the Plan will
be  conclusive  in  favor  of  any  person  relying  on  the  certification.

13.11 PROFESSIONAL  AGENTS,  AFFILIATES  AND  ARBITRATION.

(a)  PROFESSIONAL  AGENTS

The  Trustee  may  employ and pay from the Trust Fund reasonable compensation to
agents, attorneys, accountants and other persons to advise the Trustee as in its
opinion  may  be  necessary.  The  Trustee  may delegate to any agent, attorney,
accountant  or  other person selected by it any non-Trustee power or duty vested
in  it  by the Plan; the Trustee may act or refrain from acting on the advice or
opinion  of  any  agent,  attorney,  accountant  or  other person so selected.

(b) USE  OF  AFFILIATES

Charles  Schwab  Trust  Company  (CSTC)  is authorized to contract or make other
arrangements  with  The  Charles Schwab Corporation, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.,
their affiliates and subsidiaries, successors and assigns (collectively referred
to  as  Schwab),  and any other organizations affiliated with or subsidiaries of
CSTC  or  related  entities,  for the provision of services to the Trust Fund or
Plan,  except  where  such arrangements are prohibited by law or regulation.  As
used  below,  authorized person means any person whose authorization is required
pursuant  to  the  provision  of  any prohibited transaction exemption otherwise
applicable.

CSTC  is  authorized  to place securities orders, settle securities trades, hold
securities  in  custody and other related activities on behalf of the Trust Fund
through or by Schwab whenever possible unless the authorized person specifically
instructs  the  use  of another Broker.  Trades and related activities conducted
through  the  Broker  will be subject to fees and commissions established by the
Broker,  which  may  be  paid from the Trust Fund or netted from the proceeds of
trades.

Trades will not be executed through Schwab unless the Plan Administrator and the
authorized person have received disclosure concerning the relationship of Schwab
to  CSTC, and the fees and commissions which may be paid to Schwab, CSTC and any
affiliate  or  subsidiary  of any of them as a result of using Schwab to execute
trades  or  for  other  services.

CSTC is authorized to disclose such information as is necessary to the operation
and  administration  of  the  Trust  Fund to Schwab and to such other persons or
organizations  that  CSTC  determines  have  a  legitimate  business purpose for
obtaining  such  information.

At the direction of the authorized person, CSTC may purchase shares of regulated
investment  companies  (or  other investment vehicles) advised by Schwab or CSTC
("Schwab Funds"), except to the extent that such investment is prohibited by law
or regulation.  Schwab Fund shares may not be purchased for or held by the Trust
Fund  unless  the  Plan  Administrator  has  received  disclosure concerning the
relationship  of  Schwab  or CSTC to the Schwab Funds, and any fees which may be
paid  to  such  entities.

To the extent permitted under applicable laws, CSTC may invest in deposits, long
and short term debt instruments, stocks and other securities, including those of
CSTC  or  Schwab.

CSTC  and  Schwab  are  authorized  to tape record conversations between CSTC or
Schwab  and  persons  acting  on behalf of the Plan or a Participant in order to
verify  data  on  transactions.

(c) ARBITRATION

Any dispute under this agreement by and between the Trustee and the Plan Sponsor
will  be  resolved  by  submission  of  the  issue  to  a member of the American
Arbitration  Association  who is chosen by the Plan Sponsor and the Trustee.  If
the  Plan  Sponsor  and  the  Trustee  cannot  agree on such a choice, each will
nominate  a member of the American Arbitration Association, and the two nominees
will  then  select  an  arbitrator.  Expenses of the arbitration will be paid as
decided  by  the arbitrator.  This paragraph will not be interpreted to diminish
any  rights  a  Participant  may  have  under  ERISA.

13.12  VALUATION  OF  TRUST

The  Trustee  will  value the Trust Fund as of the last day of each Plan Year to
determine  the  fair  market  value of the Trust, and the Trustee will value the
Trust Fund on such other date(s) as may be necessary to carry out the provisions
of  the  Plan.

13.13  LIABILITY  OF  TRUSTEE

The  Trustee  will be liable only for the safeguarding and administration of the
assets  of  this  Trust  Fund  in  accordance with the provisions hereof and any
amendments  hereto and no other duties or responsibilities will be implied.  The
Trustee  will  not be required to pay any interest on funds paid to or deposited
with  it or to its credit under the provisions of this Trust, unless pursuant to
a  written agreement between the Plan Sponsor and the Trustee.  The Trustee will
not  be responsible for the adequacy of the Trust Fund to meet and discharge any
liabilities  under  the Plan and will not be required to make any payment of any
nature  except  from  funds  actually  received  as  Trustee.

The  Trustee  may  consult  with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the
Plan  Sponsor)  selected  by  the  Trustee and the opinion of such counsel, when
relied upon by the Trustee, will be evidence that the Trustee was acting in good
faith.

It  will  not  be  the  duty of the Trustee to determine the identity or mailing
address  of  any Participant or any other person entitled to benefits hereunder,
such  identity  and  mailing  addresses to be furnished by the Plan Sponsor, the
Plan  Administrator  or  an  agent  of  the  Plan  Administrator.

The Trustee will be under no liability in making payments in accordance with the
terms  of  this Plan and the certification of the Plan Administrator or an agent
of  the  Plan  Administrator  who  has  been  granted  such  powers  by the Plan
Administrator.

Except  to  the extent required by any applicable law, no bond or other security
for  the faithful performance of duty hereunder will be required of the Trustee.

13.14 REMOVAL  OR  RESIGNATION  AND  SUCCESSOR  TRUSTEE

A Trustee may resign at any time upon giving 30 days prior written notice to the
Plan Sponsor or, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor, a Trustee may resign with
less  than  30  days  prior  written  notice.

The  Plan  Sponsor may remove a Trustee by giving at least 30 days prior written
notice  to  the  Trustee.

Upon  the removal or resignation of a Trustee, the Plan Sponsor will appoint and
designate  a  successor  Trustee  which will be one or more individual successor
Trustees  or a corporate Trustee organized under the laws of the United Sates or
of any state thereof with authority to accept and execute trusts.  Any successor
Trustee  must  accept  and acknowledge in writing its appointment as a successor
Trustee  before  it  can  act  in  such  capacity.

Title  to  all  property and records or true copies of such records necessary to
the  current operation of the Trust Fund held by the Trustee hereunder will vest
in  any  successor Trustee acting pursuant to the provisions hereof, without the
execution or filing of any further instrument.  Any resigning or removed Trustee
will execute all instruments and do all acts necessary to vest such title in any
successor  Trustee  of  record.  Each  successor Trustee will have, exercise and
enjoy  all the powers, both discretionary and ministerial, herein conferred upon
his  predecessor.  No  successor  Trustee  will  be  obligated  to  examine  the
accounts,  records  and  acts  of  any  previous  Trustee  or Trustees, and each
successor  Trustee  in  no  way  or manner will be responsible for any action or
omission  to  act  on  the  part  of  any  previous  Trustee.

Any  corporation  which  results  from  any merger, consolidation or purchase to
which the Trustee may be a party, or which succeeds to the trust business of the
Trustee,  or  to  which substantially all the trust assets of the Trustee may be
transferred,  will be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without any further
act  or  formality  with  like effect as if the successor Trustee had originally
been  named  Trustee  herein; and in any such event it will not be necessary for
the  Trustee  or any successor Trustee to give notice thereof to any person, and
any  requirement,  statutory  or  otherwise, that notice will be given is hereby
waived.

13.15 APPOINTMENT  OF  INVESTMENT  MANAGER

One  or  more  Investment  Managers may be appointed by the Plan Sponsor (or the
Plan  Administrator)  to  exercise  full  investment  management  authority with
respect to all or a portion of the Trust assets.  Authorized payment of the fees
and  expenses  of  the  Investment Manager(s) may be made from the Trust assets.
For purposes of this agreement, any Investment Manager so appointed will, during
the period of his appointment, possess fully and absolutely those powers, rights
and  duties  of  the  Trustee  (to  the  extent delegated in writing by the Plan
Sponsor  or  the  Plan  Administrator)  with  respect  to  the  investment  or
reinvestment  of  that  portion  of  the  Trust assets over which the Investment
Manager has investment management authority.  The Investment Manager must be one
of  the  following:

(a)  Registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of
1940;

(b)  A bank, as defined in the Investment Advisors Act of 1940; or

(c)     An  insurance  company  qualified to manage, acquire, or dispose of such
Plan  assets  under  the  laws  of  more  than  one  state.

Any  Investment  Manager  will acknowledge in writing to the Plan Sponsor or the
Plan  Administrator and to the Trustee that he or it is a fiduciary with respect
to  the  Plan.  During  any  period  of  time  when the Investment Manager is so
appointed  and  serving, and with respect to those assets in the Plan over which
the  Investment Manager exercises investment management authority, the Trustee's
responsibility  will be limited to holding such assets as a custodian, providing
accounting  services,  disbursing  benefits  as  authorized,  and executing such
investment instructions only as directed by the Investment Manager.  The Trustee
will  not  be  responsible  for any acts or omissions of the Investment Manager.
Any  certificates or other instruments duly signed by the Investment Manager (or
the authorized representative of the Investment Manager), purporting to evidence
any  instruction,  direction  or order of the Investment Manager with respect to
the investment of those assets of the Plan over which the Investment Manager has
investment  management  authority, will be accepted by the Trustee as conclusive
proof thereof.  The Trustee will also be fully protected in acting in good faith
upon  any  notice,  instruction, direction, order, certificate, opinion, letter,
telegram  or  other  document believed by the Trustee to be genuine and from the
Investment Manager (or the authorized representative of the Investment Manager).
The Trustee will not be liable for any action taken or omitted by the Investment
Manager  or  for any mistakes of judgment or other action made, taken or omitted
by  the  Trustee  in  good  faith  upon  direction  of  the  Investment Manager.

13.16  EMPLOYER  STOCK

(a)  TYPE  OF  EMPLOYER  STOCK

The  Trustee  will, to the extent practical based on the Participant's election,
invest  that  portion  of  the Trust fund so elected by a Participant, in common
stock  of  the  Employer  or  any  Participating Employer (Employer Stock) which
includes  treasury  stock  which  has  been  purchased  by  the  Employer.  The
percentage of Plan assets invested in such Employer Stock will be such an amount
as  directed  by  Participants,  which  may  exceed  10%  of  the Plan's assets.

(b)  VOTING RIGHTS

Voting  rights  with  respect to shares of Employer Stock held in the Trust Fund
will  be  voted  by  the  Trustee  in  such  manner  as may be determined by the
respective  Participants,  with  respect  to  all  matters requiring shareholder
approval.

The  Trustee  and  the  Employer  will  adopt  reasonable measures to enable the
Employer  to  notify the Participants of the date and purpose of each meeting of
stockholders  of  the Employer at which holders of shares of Employer Stock will
be  entitled  to  vote, and to request instructions from each Participant to the
Trustee  as  to  the  voting  at  such  meeting of full shares of Employer Stock
(whether  or  not  vested)  in  the  Accounts of such Participant.  The Trustee,
itself  or  by proxy, will vote full shares of Employer Stock in accordance with
the  instructions  of  the Participant.  If prior to the time of such meeting of
stockholders (or a date prior thereto specified by the Trustee) the Trustee will
not  have  received  instructions from any Participant, the Trustee will have no
duty  to  make  any  decision or take any action regarding any such stock unless
otherwise  instructed  by  the  named  fiduciary.

(c)   TENDER  OFFERS

Each  Participant, or, in the event of his death, his Beneficiary, will have the
right,  to  the  extent  of  the  number of full shares of Employer Stock in his
account,  to  direct the Trustee in writing as to the manner in which to respond
to  a  tender  or  exchange offer with respect to shares of such Employer Stock.

The  Employer  will utilize its best efforts to timely distribute or cause to be
distributed  to  each  Participant  (or Beneficiary) such information as will be
distributed  to  shareholders of the Employer in connection with any such tender
or  exchange  offer.

The  Trustee will, with respect to Employer Stock held in the Trust Fund, accept
or  reject the terms of any tender offer and, accordingly, tender Employer Stock
held  by  the  Trustee  in  the  Trust  Fund  in  accordance  with the terms and
provisions  of  any tender offer, or not tender such Employer Stock, as directed
by  the  respective Participants.  With respect to full shares of Employer Stock
which  are  allocated to Participants who have not given directions, the Trustee
will  not  tender  any  shares  of  Employer  Stock  with  respect to which such
Participants  (or  Beneficiaries)  have  the  right  of  direction.

The sum of fractional shares allocated to Participants' Accounts and unallocated
shares  of  Employer  Stock will be tendered or exchanged in the same manner and
proportion  as  shares  with  respect  to  which  Participants have the right of
direction  are  tendered  or  exchanged.

The  Plan  Administrator  may  establish  such  rules and guidelines as it deems
appropriate  to  properly  effect  the  provisions  of  this  Section.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this instrument has been executed by the duly authorized and
empowered  officers  of  the  Plan  Sponsor,  this  ________  day  of
_____________________,  2000.
