         SECTION 3.01 Eligibility for membership in this Plan shall be

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

         SECTION 4.01 Subject to the provisions of Article X, a Member who
retires on or after his Normal Retirement Date shall be entitled to receive a
Monthly Retirement Income under this Plan. The amount of a Member's Monthly
Retirement Income shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of his Average Monthly
Earnings, determined as of his Retirement Date, plus one and one-half percent

Earnings, determined as of his Retirement Date. The Member's Monthly Retirement
Income shall be reduced by the following amounts:

Plan, calculated in the form of a straight life annuity commencing on the
Member's Retirement Date.

         (c) One hundred percent (100%) of his monthly income, if any, payable
under the Unfunded Supplemental Benefit Plan, calculated in the form of a

         (d) One hundred percent (100%) of his monthly income, if any, payable
under any other supplemental retirement plan, program, agreement, trust or

         (e) One hundred percent (100%) of the benefits received by the Member
under any Previous Employer Plan. Amounts payable to the Member pursuant to a
Previous Employer Plan, including without limitation, lump sum distributions,
shall be Actuarially Determined as a straight life annuity payable in equal
monthly installments, regardless of the actual form of payment received by the
Member. In the event that the Member has received a lump sum distribution of all
or part of his benefit under a Previous Employer Plan prior to his retirement
under this Plan, the amount of offset shall be Actuarially Determined by
assuming that such lump sum distribution accumulated interest until the date of
the Member's retirement under this Plan and by determining the amount of a
straight life annuity payable to the Member from such adjusted lump sum
distribution amount.

         SECTION 4.02 Subject to the provisions of Article X, a Member who has

         A Member's Monthly Retirement Income calculated under this Section 4.02
shall be further reduced by the following amounts:

         (a) One hundred percent (100%) of his Primary Social Security Benefit
payable at his Retirement Date under the Social Security law in effect at that
time. A Member who retires prior to age 62 shall have his benefits reduced by
his Primary Social Security payable at age 62, but such reduction shall not
occur until the Member attains age 62.

         (b) One hundred percent (100%) of his monthly income payable under the
Qualified Plan, calculated in the form of a straight life annuity commencing on
the Member's Retirement Date.

         (c) One hundred percent (100%) of his monthly income, if any, payable

straight life annuity commencing on the Member's Retirement Date.

under any Previous Employer Plan. Amounts payable to the Member pursuant to a

monthly installments, regardless of the actual form of payment received by the
Member. If the Member has received a lump sum distribution of all or part of his
benefit under a Previous Employer Plan prior to his retirement under this Plan,
the amount of offset shall be Actuarially Determined by assuming that such lump
sum distribution accumulated interest until the date of the Member's retirement
under this Plan and by determining the amount of a straight life annuity payable
to the Member from such adjusted lump sum distribution amount.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective on and after January 30, 1995,
for purposes of calculating a Qualifying Member's Monthly Retirement Income
under the provisions of this Section 4.02, three (3) years shall be added to the

this Plan commencing as of such date; and

                  (y) His election to retire pursuant to the provisions of this

         SECTION 4.04 A Member's Monthly Retirement Income, calculated under
either Section 4.01 or 4.02, shall be paid monthly commencing on the Member's
Retirement Date and continuing on the same day of each of the one hundred and
seventy-nine (179) months immediately following the month in which such
Retirement Date occurs. Alternatively, the Member may elect to have his Monthly
Retirement Income paid as the Actuarial Equivalent of any form of payment
permitted under the Qualified Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an
election made by a Member under the Qualified Plan with respect to the form of
payment of his benefits under the Qualified Plan shall not be effective with
respect to the form of payment of his Monthly Retirement Income under this Plan
unless such election is expressly approved in writing by the Committee. If the

<PAGE>

accordance with Section 4.04 commencing on the Member's Normal Retirement Date,
or if the Member so elects, upon his Early Retirement Date. The amount of the

to the Member's Monthly Retirement Income calculated under Section 4.01 (or
under Section 4.02 if the Member elects to begin receiving his deferred vested
Monthly Retirement Income upon his Early Retirement Date). Such Monthly
Retirement Income shall be calculated using the Member's Average Monthly
Earnings determined as of the date of his termination of employment and, after
reduction pursuant to Sections 4.01(a), (b), (c), (d), and (e), as applicable,
or pursuant to Sections 4.02(b), (c), (d), and (e), as applicable, if the Member
elects to begin receiving his deferred vested Monthly Retirement Income upon his

Year of Service that such Member's Years of Service, earned as of the date of
his termination of employment, are less than ten (10).

Member's Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a Death Benefit equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of a Monthly Retirement Income calculated as if the
Member's Retirement Date occurred on the day before his death. Such Monthly
Retirement Income shall be calculated under Section 4.01, if the Member's death
occurs on or after his Normal Retirement Date, and under Section 4.02, if the
Member's death occurs prior to his Normal Retirement Date. If the Member's death
occurs prior to his attainment of age 55, the death benefit provided under this
Section 5.02 shall be determined under Section 4.02 as if the Member had
attained age 55 on the date of his death. Such death benefit shall be paid in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04, except that it shall commence on

death occurs.

or termination. In addition, the Employer may amend or modify any provision of
this Plan as to any particular Member by agreement with such Member, provided

modification made by agreement between a Member and the Employer shall apply

subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and such approvals by
governmental agencies as may be required or as the Employer deems advisable.

or becomes interested in or connected with any business or venture that is
competitive with the business of the Employer.

         (a) A business or venture will be considered competitive with that of
the Employer:

                  (i) If it is conducted in whole or in part within a radius of

                  assigned on the date of his termination of employment; and

loan, contributed to capital or expended for the purchase of stock an amount or
amounts constituting five percent (5%) or more of the capital or assets of such
business or venture.
