ARTICLE II
SERVICE COMPUTATIONS
2-1. SERVICE. The term "Service" means the period of employment of an
Employee or Participant for which he receives credit pursuant to the provisions
of this Article II.
2-2. HOUR OF SERVICE. The term "Hour of Service" means, with respect
to any Employee or Participant:
(a) Each hour for which he is directly or indirectly paid, or
entitled to payment, by the Company for the performance of
duties during the applicable computation period;
(b) Each hour for which he has been awarded back pay or for
which the Company has agreed to award him back pay,
irrespective of mitigation of damages; and
(c) Each hour for which he is directly or indirectly paid, or
entitled to payment, by the Company for reasons other than
the performance of duties during the applicable computation
period (such as for vacation, sickness, injury, or
disability).
Hours of Service shall not be credited under more than one (1) of the preceding
subsections. Hours described in clause (a) above shall be credited to the
Employee or Participant for the computation periods in which the duties were
performed. Employees for whom the Company does not maintain records of their
hours worked shall be credited with Hours of Service on the basis of a forty
(40)-hour workweek or, in the case of a partial workweek, on the basis of an
eight (8)-hour workday. Hours described in clause (b) above shall be credited
to the Employee or Participant for the computation periods to which the award or
agreement pertains, rather than for the computation periods in which either
payment is actually made or amounts payable to the Employee or Participant
become due. Hours described in clause (c) above shall be credited to the
Employee or Participant for the computation periods during which the events
giving rise to the payments occurred. Hours of service shall be computed in
accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 2530.200b-2 of the Department
of Labor Regulations under ERISA and any successor regulations. The provisions
of this Section 2-2 shall be construed so as to resolve any ambiguities in favor
of crediting an Employee or Participant with Hours of Service.
2-3. ONE-YEAR BREAK-IN-SERVICE.
(a) GENERAL. The term "One-Year Break-in-Service" means any
Fiscal Year during which a Participant completes five
hundred (500) or fewer Hours of Service with the Company.
4
<PAGE>
(b) PREGNANCY OR BIRTH OR ADOPTION OF A CHILD. For purposes of
determining whether a One-Year Break-in-Service has
occurred, an Employee or Participant shall be given credit
for the Hours of Service which normally would have been
credited to such Employee or Participant but for an absence
from work for any period for any of the following reasons:
(i) by reason of the pregnancy of such Employee or
Participant; (ii) by reason of the birth of a child of such
Employee or Participant; (iii) by reason of the placement
of a child with such Employee or Participant in connection
with the adoption of such child by such Employee or
Participant; or (iv) for purposes of caring for such child
for a period beginning immediately following such birth or
placement. If the Administrator is unable to determine the
hours which normally would have been credited to an
Employee or Participant but for an absence of the kind
described above, there shall be credited to such Employee
or Participant eight (8) Hours of Service per day of such
absence; provided, however, that the total number of hours
treated as Hours of Service by reason of an absence of the
kind described above shall not exceed five hundred and one
(501) hours. The hours described in the preceding sentence
shall be treated as Hours of Service either: (i) only in
the year in which the absence from work begins, if a
Participant would be prevented from incurring a One-Year
Break-in-Service in such year solely because the period of
absence is treated as Hours of Service; or (ii) in any
other case, in the immediately following year.
2-4. YEAR OF SERVICE. The term "Year of Service" means any Fiscal Year
during which an Employee or Participant has completed at least one thousand
(1,000) Hours of Service with the Company; provided, however, that for purposes
of eligibility to participate in the Plan as provided in Article III, the term
"Year of Service" shall mean the twelve (12)-consecutive month period beginning
on the date on which the Employee first completes an Hour of Service and each
anniversary thereof, in which the Employee has completed at least one thousand
(1,000) Hours of Service with the Company. Each Employee and each Participant
shall receive credit for each Year of Service for all purposes of the Plan,
including Years of Service with the Company prior to the Effective Date, except
that Years of Service completed by an Employee or Participant prior to the
attainment of age eighteen (18) shall be disregarded.
2-5. SERVICE WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES. For purposes of determining
Hours of Service and Years of Service under this Article II and the vested
portion of a Participant's Accounts under Article VIII, credit shall be granted
for service with another entity which, together with the Company, is a member of
a Controlled Group.

ARTICLE III
PLAN PARTICIPATION
3-1. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION. Each Employee shall become a
Participant in this Plan on the January 1st or July 1st after which he first
meets the following requirements:
(a) He has completed one (1) Year of Service;
(b) He has attained age twenty one (21); and
(c) He is not included in a unit of Employees covered by a collective
bargaining agreement between Employee representatives and the
Company, if retirement benefits were the subject of good faith
bargaining between such Employee representatives and the Company
and if, as a result of such negotiations, either he is covered by
another retirement plan to which the Company makes contributions
or there has been no agreement between such parties for his
coverage under this Plan.
Each Participant who incurs a One-Year Break-in-Service and who returns to
the employ of the Company shall again become a Participant immediately upon
his reemployment by the Company if he was at least twenty percent (20%)
vested in his Company Stock and Other Investment Accounts pursuant to Section
8-3. If an employee or a Participant is not at least twenty percent (20%)
vested in his Company Stock and Other Investment Accounts and incurs five (5)
consecutive One-Year Breaks-in-Service, then for purposes of this Section
3-1, his Years of Service prior to such One-Year Breaks-in-Service shall be
disregarded.

of this Article IV, for any Fiscal Year the Company may pay over to the Trustee,
as an annual contribution to the Plan for that year, such sum, if any, as is
determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company. Payment of
such contributions shall be conditioned on qualification of the Plan under
Section 401(a) of the Code and on deductibility of the contributions under
Section 404 of the Code.
4-2. LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF ANNUAL COMPANY CONTRIBUTION. In no event
shall the amount of the Company's contribution under the Plan for any Fiscal
Year exceed the maximum amount allowable as a deduction in computing its taxable
income for that year for federal income tax purposes.
4-3. WHEN CONTRIBUTIONS MADE. The Company's contribution under the
Plan for any Fiscal Year shall be due on the last day of that Fiscal Year and
shall be paid over to the Trustee not later than the time prescribed by law for
filing the Company's federal income tax return for that Fiscal Year (including
any extensions thereof).
4-4. MANNER OF PAYMENT. The Company's contributions shall be made in
cash or shares of Company Stock. Any shares of Company Stock contributed to the

independent appraiser.

the Plan and other assets of the Trust Fund may be used to acquire shares of
Company Stock from any shareholder of the Company or from the Company. The
Trustee also may invest assets of the Trust Fund in such other properties as the
Trustee deems appropriate for the Trust Fund, as provided in Section III of the
Trust Agreement. All purchases of Company Stock by the Trustee shall be made
only at prices which do not exceed the fair market value of the shares
purchased, as determined by the Trustee based upon a valuation by an independent
appraiser.
5-2. SALES OF COMPANY STOCK. The Trustee may sell shares of Company
Stock to any person, including the Company. Any such sale must be made at a
price not less than the fair market value of the shares, as determined by the
Trustee. If such sale is between the Trustee and a "disqualified person," as
defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code, the fair market value of the shares
shall be determined as of the date of the sale. If such sale is between the
Trustee and a person who is not a "disqualified person," the fair market value
of the shares shall be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date. The
Trustee may not sell shares of Company Stock in a sale that would be a
"prohibited transaction" within the meaning of the Code and ERISA.

for such Participant or beneficiary.
6-3. COMPANY STOCK ACCOUNT. Subject to the provisions of Section 6-6,
as of the last day of each Fiscal Year, the Trustee shall credit to each
Participant's Company Stock Account: (a) the Participant's allocable share of
Company Stock purchased by the Trustee or contributed by the Company to the
Trust Fund for that year; (b) the Participant's allocable share of any
forfeitures of Company Stock arising under the Plan during that year; and (c)
any stock dividends declared and paid during that year on Company Stock
allocated to the Participant's Company Stock Account.
6-4. OTHER INVESTMENTS ACCOUNT. As of the last day of each Fiscal
Year, the Trustee shall credit to each Participant's Other Investments Account:
(a) the Participant's allocable share of any contribution for that year made by
the Company in cash or in property other than Company Stock; and (b) the
Participant's allocable share of any forfeitures from the Other Investments
Accounts of other Participants. As of the last day of each Fiscal Year and as
more frequently as the Plan Administrator determines, the Trustee shall credit
to each Participant's Other Investments Account: (y) any cash dividends paid
during that year on Company Stock allocated to the Participant's Company Stock
Account; and (z) the share of the net income or loss of the Trust Fund properly
allocable to that Participant's Other Investments Account, as provided in
Section 6-7.
6-5. ALLOCATIONS. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6-5 and
Section 6-6, the Company's contribution for any Fiscal Year and the forfeitures
arising under the Plan during that year shall be allocated among Participants
who are credited with a Year of Service for such Fiscal Year; and who are
employed by the Company on the last day of such Fiscal Year or who died or
retired on a Retirement Date (as defined in Section 7-4) during such Fiscal
Year, in the proportion that each Participant's Compensation for the year bears
to all Participants' Compensation for that year.
6-6. LIMITATION ON ALLOCATIONS TO PARTICIPANTS.
(a) GENERAL. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan
to the contrary, the amounts credited to a Participant's
Accounts in accordance with this Article VI for any
Limitation Year, other than allocations of earnings and
losses of the Trust Fund and amounts excepted by Section
415 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder,
shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of:
9
<PAGE>
(i) thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), adjusted each
Limitation Year to take into account any
cost-of-living increase adjustment provided for that
year under Section 415(d) of the Code; or
(ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Compensation paid
to the Participant by the Company in that Limitation
Year.
If the limitations of this Section 6-6 shall apply to the
Accounts of any Participant for any Limitation Year, the
amount credited to his accounts under this Plan shall be
reduced to the extent required under this Section 6-6
before any reduction is made in the amount credited to his
Accounts under any Related Plan. For purposes of this
Section 6-6 the term "Compensation" shall include only
those items specified in Section 1.415-2(d)(1)(i) of the
Treasury Regulations and shall exclude all items listed in
Section 1.415-2(d)(2) thereof.
(b) ALLOCATIONS OF EXCESS AMOUNTS. Subject to the limitations
of this Section 6-6, the portions of any Company
contributions and of any forfeitures which have been
allocated to a Participant under this Plan for a Limitation
Year but which cannot be credited to his Accounts because
of the limitations imposed by this Section 6-6 (the "excess
amounts"), shall be held in a suspense account. The
amounts held in the suspense account with respect to a
Participant shall be allocated to his Accounts in the
following year before any Company contributions are
allocated to his Accounts for such following year. If such
Participant is not covered by the Plan as of the last day
of such following Limitation Year, then such excess amounts
shall again be held in a suspense account and shall be
allocated in the following year as if they were forfeitures
occurring on the first day of the following year. All
amounts held in a suspense account pursuant to this Section
6-6(b) shall not share in the increase or decrease in the
net worth of the Trust Fund.
6-7. ADJUSTING TO VALUE OF TRUST FUND. As of each Valuation Date, the
Trustee shall determine: (i) the net worth of that portion of the Trust Fund
which consists of properties other than Company Stock (which portion of the
Trust Fund hereinafter is referred to as the "Investment Fund"); and (ii) the
increase or decrease in the net worth of the Investment Fund since the last
Valuation Date. The net worth of the Investment Fund shall be the fair market
value of all properties held by the Trustee under the Trust Agreement other than
Company Stock, net of liabilities other than liabilities to Participants and
their beneficiaries. The Trustee shall allocate to the Other Investments
Account of each Participant that percentage of the increase or decrease in the
net worth of the Investment Fund equal to the ratio which the balances credited
to such Participant's Other Investments Account bear to the total amount
credited to all Other Investments Account.
10
<PAGE>
6-8. PARTICIPANT STATEMENTS. Each Fiscal Year, the Trustee will
provide each Participant with a statement of his Account balances as of the most
recent Valuation Date. Such statement shall show the value of the Company Stock
credited to a Participant's Company Stock Account, which value shall be
determined by the Trustee based upon a valuation by an independent appraiser.

expected to live or the Participant is, or is expected to be, unable to perform
the duties of his customary position of employment (or is unable to engage in
any substantial gainful activity) for an indefinite period of at least twelve
(12) months. A Participant also is disabled if he incurs the permanent loss or
loss of use of a member or function of the body, or is permanently disfigured,
and his employment with the Company is terminated because of such loss, loss of
use or disfigurement. The Administrator may require a Participant to submit to
a physical examination in order to confirm disability.

and will be distributed to the Participant or for his benefit, as provided in
Article IX.
8-2. VESTING ON DEATH. If a Participant dies while in the employ of
the Company, the balances credited to his Accounts will be fully vested and will

YEARS OF SERVICE VESTED PERCENTAGE
fewer than 2 0%
2 20%

Date and before he is completely vested, the forfeitable balances credited to
his Company Stock and Other Investments Accounts will be forfeited and will be
allocated and credited in accordance with Section 6-5.
8-4. DETERMINATION OF ACCOUNT BALANCES. All determinations of the
balances credited to the Accounts of Participants required pursuant to this
Article VIII shall be made as of the Valuation Date coincident with or
immediately preceding the event giving rise to the determination. All Other
Investments Accounts shall continue to share in the changes in the value of the

made by the Trustee by payment in a lump sum.

Participant's Company Stock Account shall be made in whole shares of Company
Stock, except that the value of any fractional shares shall be paid in cash, and
the balance credited to his Other Investments Account shall be made in cash.
9-3. DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER DEATH. If a Participant dies before the
entire balance credited to his Accounts has been distributed, such balance shall
be payable in full upon the death of the Participant to the Participant's
surviving spouse. However, such balance may be paid to a beneficiary designated
by the Participant in accordance with Section 9-9 if one of the following
conditions is satisfied: either (a) the surviving spouse of such Participant
has consented in writing to the payment of the balance credited to the
Participant's Accounts to such beneficiary and the spouse's consent acknowledges
the effect of such consent and has been witnessed by the Administrator or by a
notary public; or (b) it is established to the satisfaction of the Administrator
that such consent could not be obtained because the Participant was not married,
because the Participant's spouse cannot be located, or because of such other
circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe by regulation. Any
consent by a spouse under this Section 9-3, or any establishment that the
consent of a spouse cannot be obtained, shall be effective only with respect to
that spouse. Any consent by a spouse under this Section 9-3 must acknowledge
the beneficiary designated by the Participant, including any class of
beneficiaries or any contingent beneficiaries; and the Participant may not
subsequently change beneficiaries without the consent of his or her spouse. Any
consent by a spouse pursuant to this Section 9-3 shall be irrevocable. If there
is no surviving spouse upon the death of a Participant, the balance in such
Participant's Accounts shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by such
Participant in accordance with Section 9-9.
9-4. TIME OF DISTRIBUTION.
(a) GENERAL. If a Participant dies, becomes disabled, or
retires, distribution of the balance credited to his
Accounts shall be made within one (1) year after the close
of the Fiscal Year in which he terminates his employment
with the Company. If a Participant's service with the
Company is terminated for any reason other than death,
disability, or retirement, distribution of the balances
credited to his Accounts shall be made not later than one
(1) year after the close of the Fiscal Year which is the
fifth (5th) Fiscal Year following the Fiscal Year in which
the Participant's employment with the Company is terminated
(unless the Participant is
14
<PAGE>
reemployed by the Company before distributions are required
to be made or commence).
(b) DEFERRAL OF DISTRIBUTION. A Participant whose Account
balances exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) may elect to
defer distribution of his benefits hereunder until a date
not later than April 1st of the year immediately following
the year in which he attains age seventy and one-half
(70 1/2). Distributions made or commenced due to the
Participant's attainment of age seventy and one-half
(70 1/2) shall be made in accordance with Section 401(a)(9)
of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
(c) SPECIAL RULES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 9-4,
unless a Participant elects a later date, distribution of
his benefits shall be made not later than the sixtieth
(60th) day after the close of the Fiscal Year in which the
later of the following events occurs: (1) the attainment
of age sixty-five (65) or normal retirement age, if
earlier, by the Participant; or (2) the termination of the
Participant's service with the Company. However, if the
Participant is a "five percent owner," as such term is
defined in Section 416 of the Code, in no event shall the
balance credited to such a Participant's Accounts begin to
be distributed later than April 1st of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which he attains
the age seventy and one-half (70 1/2).
9-5. IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS.
(a) DIVIDENDS. If so determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company, any cash dividend received by the Trustee on
Company Stock allocated to the Company Stock Accounts of
Participants may be paid currently (or within ninety (90)
days after the end of the Limitation Year in which the
dividends are paid to the Trustee) in cash by the Trustee
to the Participants (or to their beneficiaries), in
proportion to the amounts of Company Stock allocated to
their Company Stock Accounts as of the record date of the
dividend. Alternatively, the Company may pay such
dividends directly to Participants or beneficiaries. Any
distribution of cash dividends may be limited to dividends
on shares of Company Stock which are then vested or may be
applicable to cash dividends on all shares allocated to
Participants' Company Stock Accounts.
(b) WITHDRAWALS. A Participant who has attained age fifty-five
(55) and who has completed at least ten (10) years of
participation in the Plan after the Effective Date shall be
notified of his right to withdraw a portion of the balance
credited to his Company Stock Account. An election to
withdraw must be made on the prescribed form and be filed
with the
15
<PAGE>
Administrator within the ninety (90)-day period
immediately following the close of any Limitation Year
within the "Election Period". The "Election Period" is the
period of six (6) consecutive Fiscal Years beginning with
the Limitation Year in which the Participant first becomes
eligible to make a withdrawal. For each of the first five
(5) Limitation Years in the Election Period, the
Participant may elect to withdraw an amount which does not
exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the balance credited to
his Company Stock Account, less all amounts previously
withdrawn under this Section 10-5. In the case of the last
Limitation Year in the Election Period, the Participant may
elect to withdraw an amount which does not exceed fifty
percent (50%) of the balance credited to his Company Stock
Account, less all amounts previously withdrawn. Any amount
which a Participant elects to withdraw under this Section
9-5 shall be distributed within ninety (90) days after the
ninety (90)-day period in which the election may be made.
A withdrawal shall be treated as a distribution which is
subject to the provisions of this Article X.
9-6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO PERSONS UNDER DISABILITY. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Article IX to the contrary, if a Participant, surviving
spouse, or beneficiary is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person
legally charged with the care of his or her person or of his or her estate is
appointed, any benefits to which such Participant, surviving spouse, or
beneficiary is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person.
Except as provided above in this Section 9-6, when the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, determines that a Participant, surviving spouse, or beneficiary
is unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Administrator may direct
the Trustee to make distributions to any person for the benefit of the
Participant, surviving spouse, or beneficiary.
9-7. BENEFITS MAY NOT BE ASSIGNED OR ALIENATED. The benefits payable
to any person under this Plan may not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned
or alienated. However, the provisions of this Section 9-7 shall not apply to
the creation, assignment, or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with
respect to a Participant pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations order," as
that term is defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.
9-8. NO GUARANTEE OF BENEFITS. The benefits provided under the Plan
for any Participant shall be paid solely from that Participant's Accounts.
9-9. BENEFICIARIES. Subject to the provisions of Section 9-3, each
Participant may designate any legal or natural person to receive any benefits
payable under the Plan on account of his death. Each designation by a
Participant shall be in writing and shall be filed with the Administrator in
such form as it may require. Subject to the provisions of Section 9-3, a
beneficiary may change or revoke a direction as to the manner in which his
benefits are to be paid, or may make such a direction if none has been made, at
any time prior to the payment of his benefits by the Trustee. Subject to the
provisions of Section 9-3, by a writing filed with the Administrator, a
Participant may change his beneficiary designation at any time and from time
16
<PAGE>
to time without the consent of or notice to any person or persons previously
designated by him. If no person or persons have been designated by a
Participant, or if all persons so designated predecease the Participant or die
prior to complete distribution of his benefits, then the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, shall direct the Trustee to distribute the Participant's
benefits to:
(a) one (1) or more of the Participant's relatives by blood,
adoption, or marriage, as the Trustee decides; or
(b) the Participant's executor or administrator.
In no event may the beneficiary of a deceased Participant designate a
beneficiary.
9-10. BENEFITS OF PERSONS WHO CANNOT BE LOCATED. If the Administrator
notifies a Participant or a beneficiary designated in accordance with Sections
9-3 and 9-9 in writing at his last known address that he is entitled to benefits
under the Plan and the Participant or beneficiary fails to claim his benefits
within seven (7) calendar years after notification, his benefits will be
distributed to one (1) or more of the Participant's or beneficiary's relatives
by blood, adoption, or marriage, as the Administrator shall in its sole
discretion decide.
9-11. DISTRIBUTION WITHHOLDING. Unless a Participant or beneficiary
elects under Section 401(a)(31)(A) of the Code to have his benefits paid
directly to an "eligible retirement plan," the Trustee shall withhold federal
tax in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of such benefits; provided
however, that the maximum amount that the Trustee may withhold shall be the
value of any non-Company Stock amounts held under the Plan. An "eligible
retirement plan" is a plan described in Section 401(a)(31)(D) of the Code.
Within a reasonable period of time before distributing a Participant's benefits,
the Trustee shall provide the Participant or beneficiary with a written
explanation of the following matters: (a) the provisions of this Plan under
which the Participant or beneficiary may have his benefits transferred directly
to another eligible retirement plan; (b) the Code provision which requires the
withholding of tax on the distribution if it is not directly transferred to
another eligible retirement plan; (c) the provisions of the Code under which the
distribution will not be subject to tax if transferred to an eligible retirement
plan within sixty (60) days after the date on which the recipient receives the
distribution; and (d) such other matters as to which an explanation is required
by law.

the suspense account referred to in Section 6-6(b), and the shares of allocated
Company Stock with respect to which no direction is received from the
Participants to whose Accounts the shares are allocated in the manner it deems

claim. If a claim for benefits is wholly or partially
denied by the Committee, the Committee shall notify the
claimant in writing of the denial of the claim within a
reasonable period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days
after receipt of the claim. A notice of denial shall be

or reasons for denial of the claim; (ii) a specific
reference to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the
denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional
material or information necessary for the claimant to
perfect the claim, together with an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary; and (iv) appropriate
information regarding the steps to be taken if the claimant
wishes to submit his claim for review. If the Committee
shall fail to notify the claimant either that his claim has
been granted or that it has been denied within ninety (90)
days after the claim is received by the Committee, the
claim shall be deemed to have been denied.
(b) PROCEDURE FOR REVIEW OF A DENIED CLAIM. Within sixty (60)
days of the receipt by the claimant of a written notice of
denial of his claim, or within sixty (60) days after the
claim is deemed denied as set forth in subsection (a)
above, if applicable, the claimant may file a written
request with the Committee that it conduct a full and fair
review of the
19
<PAGE>
denial of his claim for benefits. In connection with
the claimant's appeal of the denial of his benefits, the
claimant may review pertinent documents and may submit
issues and comments in writing. The Committee shall
have full discretion to fully and fairly review the
claim, and the Committee shall render a decision on the
claim appeal promptly. Such decision shall be rendered
not later than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the
claimant's request for review, unless special
circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing)
require an extension of time for processing, in which
case the sixty (60)-day period may be extended to one
hundred and twenty (120) days. The Committee shall
notify the claimant in writing of any such extension.
The decision upon review shall: (i) include specific
reasons for the decision; (ii) be written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant; and (iii)
contain specific references to the pertinent Plan
provisions upon which the decision is based.
11-4. PROCEDURES WITH RESPECT TO DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS.
(a) DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section 11-4, the
following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) the
term "domestic relations order" shall mean any judgment,
decree, or order (including approval of a property
settlement agreement) which relates to the provision of
child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights
to a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of a
Participant and which is made pursuant to a state domestic
relations law, including a community property law; (ii) the
term "qualified domestic relations order" shall have the
meaning set forth in Section 414(p) of the Code; and (iii)
the term "alternate payee" shall mean any spouse, former
spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant who is
recognized by a domestic relations order as having a right
to receive all or a portion of the benefits payable under
the Plan with respect to such Participant.
(b) PROCEDURES. The Committee shall establish reasonable
procedures with respect to the following matters: (i) the
manner for determining whether a domestic relations order
constitutes a qualified domestic relations order; and (ii)
the administration of distributions under such qualified
orders.
(c) NOTICE. Promptly following the receipt of any domestic
relations order, the Committee shall notify the Participant
affected by such order, and any other alternate payee, of
the receipt of such order and of the procedures established
under the Plan for determining the qualified status of
domestic relations orders. Within a reasonable period of
time after receipt of any domestic relations order, the
Committee shall determine whether such order is a qualified
domestic relations order and shall
20
<PAGE>
notify the Participant affected by such order and each
alternate payee of such determination.
(d) SEGREGATION OF ACCOUNT. During any period in which the
issue whether a domestic relations order is a qualified
domestic relations order is being determined by the
Committee, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or
otherwise, the Committee shall instruct the Trustee to
segregate in a separate account under the Trust Fund or to
deposit in an escrow account the amounts which would have
been payable to the alternate payee during such period if
the order had been determined to be a qualified domestic
relations order. If the order or any modification thereof
is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order
within eighteen months, the Committee shall pay the
segregated amounts, plus any interest thereon, to the
persons entitled thereto. If within eighteen (18) months
either it is determined that the order is not a qualified
domestic relations order or the issue whether such order is
a qualified domestic relations order is not resolved, then
the Committee shall pay the segregated amounts, plus any
interest thereon, to the persons who would have been
entitled to such amounts if there had been no order. Any
determination that an order is a qualified domestic
relations order which is made after the close of the
eighteen (18)-month period described above shall be applied
prospectively only.

13-1 AMENDMENT. Subject to the provisions of Section 15-1, the Company
reserves the right to amend the Plan at any time by action of its Board of
Directors or of a person designated by resolution of its Board of Directors.
However, no amendment shall divest a Participant of any amount that he would
have received had he resigned from the Company's employ immediately prior to the
effective date of the amendment.
13-2. TERMINATION. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan
at any time by action of its Board of Directors. The Plan will terminate on the
earliest of the following dates:
(a) the date the Company is judicially declared bankrupt or
insolvent;
(b) the date the Company completely discontinues its
contributions under the Plan; or
(c) the date the Company is dissolved, merged, consolidated, or
reorganized, or sells all or substantially all of its
assets, except that, subject to the provisions of Section
13-3, provision may be made by the successor or purchaser
for continuing the Plan (and in that event, the successor
or purchaser shall be substituted for the Company under the
Plan).
13-3. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF PLAN, TRANSFER OF PLAN ASSETS. In the
case of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets and liabilities
to, any other pension or profit sharing plan, provision shall be made so that
each Participant in the Plan on the date of the merger, consolidation, or
transfer would receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or
transfer if the Plan then terminated which is equal to or greater than the
benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately prior to the merger,
consolidation, or transfer if the Plan had terminated then.
13-4. VESTING AND DISTRIBUTION ON TERMINATION AND PARTIAL TERMINATION.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, on termination
of the Plan in accordance with Section 13-2 or on partial termination of the
Plan by operation of law, the date of termination or partial termination will be
a Valuation Date and, after all adjustments required on a Valuation Date have
been made, each affected Participant's benefits will be nonforfeitable. On
termination of the Plan the Company may instruct the Trustee to (a) liquidate
the Trust Fund and distribute all benefits as soon as administratively possible;
or (b) retain the Trust Fund and distribute all benefits in accordance with the
provisions of Article VI. The provisions of Article VI will continue to apply
until the benefits of all affected Participants have been distributed to them.

value of the Account balances of all "Key Employees," as defined in Section
416(i) of the Code, and their beneficiaries exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the
aggregate present value of the Account balances of all Participants and

the Controlled Group during the five (5)-year period ending on the Determination
Date shall not be taken into account.

the Company or a member of the Controlled Group as of the last day of the
Fiscal Year shall not be less than the lesser of:
(a) three percent (3%) of his Compensation for the Fiscal Year;
or
(b) that percent of his Compensation equal to the percentage of
Company contributions allocated to the Accounts of the Key
Employee with the highest allocation percentage.
14-3. AGGREGATION OF PLANS. As required by Section 416(g)(2) of the

Administrator, and any other person acting as a fiduciary with respect to the
Plan for, and hold them harmless against, any and all liabilities, losses,
costs, or expenses of any kind or nature which may be imposed on, incurred by,
or asserted against them at any time by reason of their service under this Plan
(including legal fees and expenses), to the extent such liability, loss, cost,
or expense is not insured against or exceeds any insurance recovery. However,

dishonestly or in willful or grossly negligent violation of the law or
regulation under which such liability, loss, cost, or expense arises.

of this Plan by any subsidiary or affiliate, employees of such subsidiary or
affiliate may become Participants upon meeting the eligibility requirements
herein provided; and when so qualified such employees shall be subject to the
same obligations and entitled to the same rights and benefits as if they were
employees of the Company. The contributions to be made in respect of employees
of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company which becomes a party to this Plan

subsidiary or affiliate shall have no right to defer payment of its contribution
or to terminate the Plan in respect of itself or its participating employees
without the written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company.
