                    on the basis of unite of time, the Hours of Service credited
                    with respect to such period shall be allocated between not

               computation period to which the award or agreement pertains

               begins if the crediting is necessary to prevent a break in

          Employee, the number of whole years of his periods of service with the
          Employer or a Related Employer (the elapsed time method to compute
          vesting service), subject to any exclusions elected by the Employer in
          Section 1.07(b). An Employee will receive credit for the aggregate of
          all time periods) commencing with the Employee's Employment
          Commencement Date and ending on the date a break in service begins,
          unless any such years are excluded by Section 1.07(b). An Employee

          balance that accrued before such breaks, but both pre-break and
          post-break service will count for the purposes of vesting the
          Employer-derived account balance that accrues after such breaks. Both
          accounts will share in the earnings and losses of the fund.

<PAGE>
                                                                         4/11/94

               In the case of a Participant who does not have 5 consecutive
          1-year breaks in service, both the pre-break and post-break service
          will count in vesting both the pre-break and post-break
          employer-derived account balance.

               A break in service is a period of severance of at least 12
          consecutive months. Period of severance is a continuous period of time
          during which the Employee is not employed by the Employer. Such period
          begins on the date the Employee retires, quite or is discharged, or if
          earlier, the 12 month anniversary of the date on which the Employee
          was otherwise first absent from service.

               In the case of an individual who is absent from work for
          maternity or paternity reasons, the 12-consecutive month period
          beginning on the first anniversary of the first date of such absence
          shall not constitute a break in service. For purposes of this
          paragraph, an absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons
          means an absence (1) by reason of the pregnancy of the individual, (2)
          by reason of the birth of a child of the individual, (3) by reason of
          the placement of a child with the individual in connection with the
          adoption of such child by such individual, or (4) for purposes of
          caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following
          such birth or placement.

               If the Plan maintained by the Employer is the plan of a
          predecessor employer, an Employee's Years of Service for Vesting shall
          include years of service with such predecessor employer. In any case
          in which the Plan maintained by the Employer is not the plan
          maintained by a predecessor employer, service for such predecessor
          shall be treated as service for the Employer to the extent provided in
          Section 1.08.

     (b) Pronouns used in the Plan are in the masculine gender but include the
     feminine gender unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Article 3. PARTICIPATION.

3.01. DATE OF PARTICIPATION. An eligible Employee (as set forth in Section
1.03(a)) will become a Participant in the Plan on the first Entry Date after
which he becomes an eligible Employee if he has filed an election pursuant to
Section 4.01. If the eligible Employee does not file an election pursuant to
Section 4.01 prior to his first Entry Date, then the eligible Employee will
become a Participant in the Plan as of the first day of a Plan Year for which he
has filed an election.

3.02. RESUMPTION OF PARTICIPATION FOLLOWING RE EMPLOYMENT. If a Participant
ceases to be an Employee and thereafter returns to the employ of the Employer he
will again become a Participant as of an Entry Date following the date on which
he completes an Hour of Service for the Employer following his re employment, if
he is an eligible Employee as defined in Section 1.03(a), and has filed an
election pursuant to Section 4.01.

3.03. CESSATION OR RESUMPTION OF PARTICIPATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN STATUS. If
any Participant continues in the employ of the Employer or Related Employer but
ceases to be an eligible Employee as defined in Section 1.03(a), the individual
shall continue to be a Participant until the entire amount of his benefit is
distributed; however, the individual shall not be entitled to make Deferral
Contributions or receive an allocation of Matching contributions during the
period that he is not an eligible Employee. Such Participant shall continue to
receive credit for service completed during the period for purposes of
determining his vested interest in his Accounts. In the event that the
individual

full participation in accordance with Section 3.01.

ARTICLE 4. CONTRIBUTIONS.

4.01. DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Participant may elect to execute a salary
reduction agreement with the Employer to reduce his Compensation by a specified
percentage not exceeding the percentage set forth in Section 1.05(a) and equal
to a whole number multiple of one (1) percent. Such agreement shall become
effective on the first day of the period as set forth in the Participant's
election. The election will be effective to defer Compensation relating to all
service, performed in a Plan Year subsequent to the filing of such an election.
An election once made will remain in effect until a new election is made. Anew
election will be effective as of the first day of the following Plan Year and
will apply only to Compensation payable with respect to services rendered after
such date. Amounts credited to a Participant's account prior to the effective
date of any new election will not be affected and will be paid in accordance
with that prior election. The Employer shall credit an amount to the account
maintained on behalf of the Participant corresponding to the amount of said
reduction. Under no circumstances may a salary reduction agreement be adopted
retroactively. A Participant may not revoke a salary reduction agreement for a
Plan year during that year.

4.02. MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. If so provided by the Employer in Section 1.05(b),
the Employer shall make a Matching Contribution to be credited to the account
maintained on behalf of each Participant who had Deferral Contributions made on
his behalf during the year and who meets the requirement, if any, of Section
1.05(b)(3). The amount of the Matching Contribution shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.05(b).

4.03. TIME OF MAKING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. The Employer will from time to time
make a transfer of assets to the Trustee for each Plan Year. The Employer shall
provide the Trustee with information on the amount to be credited to the
separate account of each Participant maintained under the Trust.

ARTICLE 5. PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS.

5.01. INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. The Administrator will establish and maintain an
Account for each Participant which will reflect Matching and Deferral
Contributions credited to the Account on behalf of the Participant and earnings,
expenses, gains and losses credited thereto, and deemed investments made with
amounts in the Participant's Account. The Administrator will establish and
maintain such other accounts and records as it decides in its discretion to be
reasonably required or appropriate in order to discharge its duties under the
Plan. Participants will be furnished statements of their Account values at least
once each Plan Year.

ARTICLE 6. INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS.

6.01. MANNER OF INVESTMENT. All amounts credited to the Accounts of Participants
shall be treated as though invested and reinvested only in eligible investments
selected by the Employer in Section 1.11(b).

6.02. INVESTMENT DECISIONS. Investments in which the Accounts of Participants
shall be treated as invested and reinvested shall be directed by the Employer or
by each Participant, or both, in accordance with the Employer's election in
Section 1.11(a).

     (a) All dividends, interest, gains and distributions of any nature earned
     in respect of Fund Shares in which the Account is treated as investing
     shall be credited to the Account as though reinvested in additional shares
     of that Fidelity Fund.

     (b) Expenses attributable to the acquisition of investments shall be
     charged to the Account of the Participant for which such investment is
     made.

ARTICLE 7. RIGHT TO BENEFITS.

7.01. Normal or Early Retirement. If provided by the Employer in Section
1.07(d), each Participant who attains his Normal Retirement Age or Early
Retirement Age will have a nonforfeitable interest in his Account in accordance
with the vesting schedule elected in Section 1.07. If a Participant retires on
or after attainment of Normal or Early Retirement Age, such retirement is
referred to as a normal retirement. On or after his normal retirement, the
balance of the Participant's Account, plus any amounts thereafter credited to
his Account, subject to the provisions of Section 7.06, will be distributed to
him in accordance with Article 8.

     If provided by the Employer in Section 1.06, a Participant who separates
from service before satisfying the age requirements for early retirement, but
has satisfied the service requirement will be entitled to the distribution of
his Account, subject to the provisions of Section 7.06, in accordance with
Article 8, upon satisfaction of such age requirement.

7.02. DEATH. If a Participant dies before the distribution of his Account has
commenced, or before such distribution has been completed, his Account shall
become vested in accordance with the vesting schedule elected in Section 1.07
and his designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will be entitled to receive the
balance or remaining balance of his Account, plus any amounts thereafter
credited to his Account, subject to the provisions of Section 7.06. Distribution
to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will be made in accordance with Article 8.

                                        7
<PAGE>
                                                                         4/ll/94

     A participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or change any
prior designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by giving notice to the
Administrator on a form designated by the Administrator. If more than one person
is designated as the Beneficiary, their respective interests shall be as
indicated on the designation form.

     A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be filed
with and approved by the Administrator. If upon the death of the Participant
there is, in the opinion of the Administrator, no designated Beneficiary for
part or all of the Participant's Account, such amount will be paid to his
surviving spouse or, if none, to his estate (such spouse or estate shall be
deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan). If a Beneficiary dies
after benefits to such Beneficiary have commenced, but before they have been
completed, and, in the opinion of the Administrator, no person has been
designated to receive such remaining benefits, then such benefits shall be paid
to the deceased Beneficiary's estate.

7.03. OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If provided by the Employer in Section
1.06, if a Participant terminates his employment for any reason other than death
or normal retirement, he will be entitled to a termination benefit equal to (i)
the vested percentage(s) of the value of the Matching Contributions to his
Account, as adjusted for income, expense, gain, or loss, such percentage(s)
determined in accordance with the vesting schedule(s) selected by the Employer
in Section 1.07, and (ii) the value of the Deferral Contributions to his Account
as adjusted for income, expense, gain or lose. The amount payable under this
Section 7.03 will be subject to the provisions of Section 7.06 and will be
distributed in accordance with Article 8.

7.04. SEPARATE ACCOUNT. If a distribution from a Participant's Account has been
made to him at a time when he has a nonforfeitable right to less than 100
percent of his Account, the vesting schedule in Section 1.07 will thereafter
apply only to amounts in his Account attributable to Matching Contributions
allocated after such distribution. The balance of his Account immediately after
such distribution will be transferred to a separate account which will be
maintained for the purpose of determining his interest therein according to the
following provisions.

     At any relevant time prior to a forfeiture of any portion thereof under
Section 7.05, a Participant's nonforfeitable interest in his Account held in a
separate account described in the preceding paragraph will be equal to P(AB +
(RxD))-(RxD), where P is the nonforfeitable percentage at the relevant time
determined under Section 7.05; AB is the account balance of the separate account
at the relevant time; D is the amount of the distribution; and R is the ratio of
the account balance at the relevant time to the account balance after
distribution. Following a forfeiture of any portion of such separate account
under Section 7.05 below, any balance in the Participant's separate account will
remain fully vested and nonforfeitable.

<PAGE>
                                                                         4/11/94

7.05. FORFEITURES. If a Participant terminates his employment, any portion of
his Account (including any amounts credited after his termination of employment)
not payable to him under Section 7.03 will be forfeited by him. For purposes of
this paragraph, if the value of a Participant's vested account balance is zero,
the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his veered
interest immediately following termination of employment. Such forfeitures will
be applied to reduce the contributions of the Employer under the Plan (or
administrative expenses of the Plan).

7.06. ADJUSTMENT FOR INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. If any distribution under this
Article 7 is not made in a single payment, the amount remaining in the Account
after the distribution will be subject to adjustment until distributed to
reflect the income and gain or loss on the investments in which such amount is
treated as invested and any expenses properly charged under the Plan and Trust
to such amounts.

7.07. HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS. Subject to the provisions of Article 8, a
Participant shall not be permitted to withdraw his Account (and earnings
thereon) prior to retirement or termination of employment, except if permitted
under Section 1.09, a Participant may apply to the Administrator to withdraw,
some or all of his Account if such withdrawal is made on account of a hardship
as determined by the Employer.

7.08. ADDED AT ADOPTION. See Exhibit A.

Article 8. DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS PAYABLE AFTER TERMINATION IF SERVICE.

8.01. DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS TO PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES.

          (a) Distributions under the Plan to a Participant or to the
     Beneficiary of the participant shall be made in a lump sum in cash or, if
     elected by the Employer in Section 1.10 and specified in the Participant's
     deferral election, under a systematic withdrawal plan (installment(s)) not
     exceeding 10 years upon retirement, death or other termination of
     employment.

          (b Distributions under a systematic withdrawal plan must be made in
     substantially equal annual, or more frequent, installments, in cash, over a
     period certain which does not extend 10 years. The period certain specified
     in a Participant's first deferral election specifying distribution under a
     systematic withdrawal plan shall apply to all subsequent elections of
     distributions under a systematic withdrawal plan made by the Participant.

8.02. DETERMINATION OF METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION. The Participant will determine
the method of distribution of benefit, to himself and the method of distribution
to his Beneficiary. Such determination will be made at the time the Participant
makes a deferral election. If the Participant does not determine the method of
distribution to him or his Beneficiary, the method shall be a lump sum.

made later than the date specified by the Participant in his salary reduction
agreement.

change. The Employer may from time to time make any amendment to the Plan that
may be necessary to satisfy the Code or ERISA. The Employer's board of directors
or other individual specified in the resolution adopting this Plan shall act on

regulations or ruling thereunder. Any retroactive amendment by the Employer
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.01.

9.03. TERMINATION. The Employer has adopted the Plan with the intention and
expectation that contributions will be continued indefinitely. However, said

liability hereunder for any such discontinuance or termination.

9.04. DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. Upon termination of the Plan,

to a person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over
such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority
under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by such

     (a) CLAIMS PROCEDURE. If any person believes he is being denied any rights
     or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with
     the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the
     Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such
     notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii)
     specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any
     additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect
     such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is
     necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person
     wishes to submit a request for review. Such notification will be given
     within 90 days after the claim is received by the Administrator (or within
     180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for
     processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and
     circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). If
     such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be
     considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may
     request a review of his claim.

     (b) REVIEW PROCEDURE. Within 60 days after the date on which a person
     receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within 60
     days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred),
     such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written
     request with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim and of
     pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the
     Administrator. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision in
     writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be
     understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the
     decision as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions. The
     decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review
     is received by the Administrator (or within 120 days, if special
     circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such
     as an election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written
     notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within
     the initial 60-day period). if the decision on review is not made within
     such period, the claim will be considered denied.

Participant, on a prorata basis or in such other reasonable manner as may be
directed by the Employer.
