         the end of a Plan Year, such year's Annual Deferral shall be the actual
         amount withheld prior to such event.

1.3      "Base Annual Salary" shall mean the yearly compensation paid to an

         qualify for a year of service as therein defined.

                                    ARTICLE 2
                                   ELIGIBILITY

2.1      SECTION BY COMMITTEE. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to
         determine the Executives who are eligible to become Participants, in
         accordance with the purpose of the Plan. In addition, plan
         participation is contingent upon the satisfactory underwriting of
         insurance coverage on each Participant's life.

2.2      ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS. As a condition of participation, each
         Participant so selected shall complete, execute and return to the
         Committee a Plan Agreement and Beneficiary Designation, and comply with
         further conditions as may be established by the Committee.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                              DEFERRAL COMMITMENTS

3.1      MINIMUM DEFERRAL. The Participant may defer no less than $2,000 per
         Plan Year.

3.2      MAXIMUM DEFERRAL. Each year, the Participant may defer no more than the
         percentage of Base Annual Salary permitted by the Selection Committee,
         at its sole discretion. This percentage will be communicated prior to
         the beginning of each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral is made.

3.3      WITHHOLDING OF ANNUAL DEFERRALS. The amount of Base Annual Salary
         elected to be deferred pursuant to the Plan Agreement of a Participant
         shall be withheld from the Participant's salary or fees in equal
         amounts over the deferral period.

3.4      COMPANY CONTRIBUTION. Each year, the Company will contribute to each
         Participant's account an amount equal to the Participant's salary
         deferral (excluding bonus deferral). The Company matching contribution
         will be credited to each Participant's Account Balance on the last day
         of each Plan Year (December 31) so long as the Participant is an
         employee and an active Participant in the Plan as of that date.

3.5      ANNUAL RATE. The Treasury Rate will be declared annually for each Plan
         Year and shall be fixed as of the first business day in October of the
         year that precedes the Plan Year. Subject to the provisions and
         limitations of the Plan, the account will accrue annual interest at a
         crediting rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus three percent (3.0%)
         from the date of Plan


                                       -3-
<PAGE>


         inception. For purposes of any retirement distributions from the
         Participant's Supplemental Retirement Plan account, the Treasury Rate
         that applies for the current Plan Year and the preceding five (5)
         Plan Years will be averaged and used to calculate the interest for
         benefit payments.

3.6      INTEREST CREDITING. Interest shall be credited yearly on the Account
         Balance as though the total Deferral Amount for that Plan Year was made
         at the beginning of the Plan Year. In the event of mid-year
         termination, the basis for that year's interest crediting rate will be
         a fraction of the full year's interest crediting rate, based on the
         number of completed months of employment rendered by the Participant in
         the year of termination.

3.7      DEFAULT. Default occurs when the Participant does not fulfill all
         deferral commitments to the Plan under the Participant's Plan
         Agreement. Termination of Employment is not considered a default. A
         Participant who has a Termination of Employment will receive
         Termination benefits, as set forth in Article 7.

3.8      DEFERRAL PENALTY IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT. In the event of default by a
         Participant on a deferral commitment, the Participant may not defer any
         portion of his/her Base Annual Salary or Bonus for the following twelve
         (12) months.

3.9      WAIVER OF DEFAULT AND GRANT OF SUSPENSION. The Committee may, at its
         discretion, waive any default penalty set forth in Section 3.8 upon
         request of the Participant. The Committee may also, at its sole
         discretion, grant a suspension of a Participant's deferral commitment
         for such time as the Committee may deem necessary if it finds that the
         Participant has suffered an unforeseeable financial emergency. For
         purposes of this Plan, an unforeseeable financial emergency is an
         unexpected need for cash arising from an illness, casualty loss, sudden
         financial reversal, transfer of place of employment, or other such
         unforeseeable occurrence.

3.10     TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION. A Participant may terminate participation
         in the Plan at any time by giving the Employer written notice of such
         termination not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary
         date of the execution of the most recent Plan Agreement of the
         Participant. Benefits to a Participant who elects to terminate Plan
         participation shall be paid in accordance with terms of the Plan.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                             PRERETIREMENT PAYMENTS

4.1      PRERETIREMENT PAYMENTS. Participants who make contributions to the Plan
         prior to attaining age 56 may elect to receive preretirement payments
         from the Plan. The Company contribution will remain as part of the
         Account Balance to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan.


                                      -4-
<PAGE>


         In connection with each election to make an Annual Deferral, a
         Participant may elect to receive a future preretirement payment from
         the Plan with respect to that Annual Deferral. The preretirement
         payment shall be a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the Annual
         Deferral plus interest credited at the Treasury Rate plus three
         percent (3%). The preretirement payment shall be made within 60 days
         of the first day of the Plan Year that is six years after the
         effective date of the Annual Deferral election.

4.2      HARDSHIP PAYMENTS. If the Participant experiences an unforeseeable
         financial emergency as described in Section 3.9, the Participant may
         petition the Administrative Committee to receive a preretirement
         payment from the Plan. The amount requested may not exceed the sum of
         total Deferral Amounts. If, subject to the sole discretion of the
         Administrative Committee, the petition is approved, payment shall be
         distributed within 60 days of the date of approval and the Participant
         shall be subject to taxation on the amount received. For the Plan Year
         in which the payment is made, all interest that would otherwise have
         accrued on the amount withdrawn shall be forfeited.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                               RETIREMENT BENEFIT

5.1      RETIREMENT BENEFIT. If a Participant retires from employment with the
         Company on or after the attainment of age sixty-two (62) or six (6)
         years of Plan participation, whichever is later, and if the Plan
         Agreement has been kept in force, the Employer will pay the Participant
         an amount per month based on the Account Balance, credited with
         interest, minus the preretirement payments made pursuant to Article 4.

5.2      RATE OF INTEREST. If the Participant remains with the Company until
         Normal Retirement, his or her Account Balance will have accumulated
         interest at a compounded interest rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus
         three percent (3.0%).

5.3      DURATION OF BENEFITS. Payments shall commence on the last day of the
         month determined to be the month wherein the Participant reaches
         his/her Normal Retirement Date. Payments shall be monthly, for 60
         months, unless a longer period of time is permitted by the Company and
         is elected by the Participant at least three years prior to the
         beginning of the period during which deferrals are made.

                                   ARTICLE 6
                                SURVIVOR BENEFIT

6.1      PRERETIREMENT SURVIVOR BENEFIT. If a Participant dies BEFORE retirement
         and the Plan Agreement is in effect at the time, the Employer will pay
         a Survivor's benefit to the designated Beneficiary.

6.2      AMOUNT. The amount of the preretirement survivor benefit will be equal
         to the Account Balance at the time of death. Said amount shall be paid
         in a lump sum or, if the Account Balance exceeds $25,000, over a period
         of time as described in Section 7.4 with an unpaid balance being
         created at the Treasury Rate plus three percent (3.0%).

6.3      POST-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR BENEFIT. If the Participant dies AFTER Normal
         Retirement, and after Retirement benefit payments have commenced, the
         Beneficiary will receive any unpaid installments due the Participant,
         with the unpaid balance being created at the Treasury Rate plus three
         percent (3.0%). Payments shall continue on a monthly basis until the
         payout period in effect is complete.

6.4.     ELIGIBILITY. The obligation of the Employer to pay the Survivor benefit
         (whether in a lump sum or over a number of months) shall exist only if:

         a.       at the time of death, the Participant was an employee, totally
                  disabled, or was on an authorized leave of absence;

         b.       the Participant was NOT in default as described in Section
                  3.7, in which event the Survivor benefit shall be limited to
                  the Participant's portion of the Account Balance plus interest
                  earnings thereon (excluding the Company Contribution and
                  interest earnings thereon),

         c.       the Plan Agreement had been kept in force until the time of
                  death;

         d.       the Participant's death was determined not to be from bodily
                  or mental cause or causes, the information about which was
                  withheld, or knowingly concealed, or falsely provided by the
                  Participant, when requested by the Employer to furnish
                  evidence of good health;

         e.       proof of death in such form as determined acceptable by the
                  Committee is furnished.

6.5      SUICIDE. In the event of a Participant's suicide within the first two
         (2) years of Plan participation, the Employer shall be obligated to
         return the Dererral Amounts only, without interest, and no other
         Survivor benefits shall be payable.
