                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

         Plasti-Line, Inc. which was incorporated in Tennessee in 1984, is a 
leading producer of indoor and outdoor signs for corporate identification 
programs.  These signs are used primarily at retail outlets of large national 
or regional companies such as automobile dealerships, gasoline stations, banks 
and fast food restaurants.  Plasti-Line, Inc. designs, engineers and 
manufactures substantially all its products in Knoxville, Tennessee, Florence, 
Kentucky, and Ontario, California.  Plasti-Line, Inc. markets its products 
throughout the United States and, to a limited extent, in Canada.  As used 
herein, the "Company" refers to Plasti-Line, Inc. and its subsidiary unless 
the context requires otherwise.

         The Company concentrates on providing a complete range of products and
services to high-volume users in the automotive, fast food, petroleum, banking
and other retail markets. The Company's manufacturing facilities in Knoxville,
Tennessee and Ontario, California serve this aspect of the business. The 
Company's subsidiary, American Sign and Marketing Services, Inc. ("American 
Sign"), in Florence, Kentucky, concentrates on production and marketing of 
small outdoor signs, indoor signs and menuboards.

PRODUCTS

         The Company's basic sign product is composed of two rigid plastic
faces that are molded and decorated to reflect the customer's name and logo.
These faces are mounted in a steel or aluminum frame and generally placed on a
steel column to permit visibility. Typically, the signs are internally
illuminated to make them visible at night. The sign faces range in size from
two square feet to 245 square feet.

         The Company's products are used by its customers primarily for brand
identification of their retail outlets. For high-volume customers in the
automotive and fast food markets, and to a lesser extent for petroleum
customers, the Company produces a full package of signs used to identify a
particular retail location with the corporate image known to consumers. A
package may consist of many sign elements, including (i) road signs decorated
with the customer's logo and colors and often built in a distinctive shape;
(ii) high rise signs typically used for locations adjacent to interstate
highways or in high traffic areas; (iii) menuboards with changeable copy areas
and price mechanisms to enable fast food customers to identify and change their
menus and prices; (iv) signs typically used by petroleum customers to provide
on-site advertising of the prices of various products; (v) specialty lighting
products that provide accent or decorative lighting, typically at fast food
restaurants and gasoline stations; and (vi) illuminated fascia signage that is
mounted on buildings for decoration and identification.

         The Company concentrates on high-volume, standardized products, but
also produces customized signage as an accommodation to its regular customers.
Custom signs typically require special fabrication techniques and tend to
generate low-volume production runs with longer lead times.

         The Company provides at least a one-year limited warranty on all signs
for defects in materials and workmanship, with the Company being obligated to
repair or replace any defective product.

         In addition to production, the Company offers a complete spectrum of
sign services, including design, site analysis, graphic analysis, installation
and maintenance. Working with the customer or a design consultant retained by
the customer, the Company assists in developing designs that meet the
customer's goals. Upon customer request, the Company coordinates the sign
package with local ordinances and regulatory requirements, assists in
determining where to place the signs for maximum visibility and assists in
obtaining necessary permits and variances. In cases where the Company has a
contract for the installation of a sign, the Company utilizes the services of a
subcontractor in the area in which the sign is to be installed. Maintenance
service, regular cleaning, inspection and replacement of lights and other parts
when needed or on a predetermined schedule are also provided through local
subcontractors.

CUSTOMERS

         The Company for internal purposes separates its business by customers
into automotive, banks, fast food, petroleum and other industry groupings. For
its automotive, bank, and fast food customers, the Company typically provides a
full range of products and services, including most or all of those described
above. For the petroleum industry, the Company typically manufactures signs to
the customer's specifications and ships them for installation by the customer's
own subcontractors. Customer commitments vary by market segment and specific
account. Commitments range from multi-year contracts with firm prices for all
products and services, to specific orders for specific quantities at firm
prices. From time to time, the Company is awarded large, one-time contracts by
customers who are changing their name or image. These programs can create
concentrated surges in volume.

         PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS Since 1969, the Company's principal customers have
been subsidiaries of General Motors Corporation ("General Motors"). General
Motors accounted for approximately 21% of the Company's net sales in fiscal
1994. The loss of General Motors as a customer would have a material adverse
effect on the Company if it were unable to compensate promptly for that loss by
generating new business.

         The Company's original contract for the supply of internally
illuminated outdoor signs for the General Motors dealership sign program
extended through December 31, 1990 with two automatic two year extensions if
the Company maintained established performance levels. Both extensions were
granted to the Company. Recently, another one year extension through December
31, 1995 was executed. The Company furnishes all services associated with the
manufacture and installation of signs and replacement parts ordered by General
Motors for approximately 9,000 participating dealerships. The contract is
terminable on 30 days' notice by either party and is non-exclusive; however,
the Company believes that it is currently the sole supplier for the General
Motors dealership sign program. Signs are supplied for new dealerships, as
replacements of signs at existing dealerships and in connection with moves to
new locations. The Company provides General Motors with a 10-year limited
warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, with the Company being
obligated to repair or replace any defective product.

MARKETING

         Products and services are marketed on a direct basis and through sales
representatives throughout the United States and, to a limited extent, in
Canada. The Company's principal marketing focus is on companies with many
retail outlets requiring substantial numbers of signs. This type of business
enables the Company to maintain economic production runs, and increases the
opportunity to provide a full range of services.

         Marketing opportunities are generated by the construction of new
facilities, acquisition of existing locations requiring re-identification,
addition of signage at existing locations, design of a new image requiring
re-identification of all facilities and replacement of parts damaged by storms,
vandalism and accidents.

PRODUCTION AND RAW MATERIALS

         Production of the Company's products is a labor intensive process. The
typical sign consists of large acrylic or polycarbonate faces mounted in a
metal frame and internally illuminated. The shapes of the faces are formed
using vacuum or press forming after the face material has been heated. Letters
or logos that are not molded into the faces are either glued or silk-screened
on the faces. During the production process, signs move through the plants on
an overhead monorail system. After the signs are manufactured, they are crated
and shipped from the Company's facilities principally by commercial trucking
companies.

         The practice of the Company is to start producing finished goods only
after receipt of a firm order from a customer, although for customers with
long-term programs, the Company produces finished goods in anticipation of
customer needs. Credit terms are generally net 30 days from the date of sale.
Occasionally the Company engages the services of subcontractors for special
manufacturing work to assist during peak production periods.


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

         The Company designs and engineers its products to customer
specifications. The Company's manufacturing operations include machining,
welding, plastic molding and fabrication, painting, assembly and packaging. The
principal raw materials and purchased components used in the Company's
manufacturing process are steel shapes and sheet, aluminum shapes and sheet,
electrical components (wire, sockets, ballasts and lamps) and acrylic and
polycarbonate sheets. The Company does not hold any material patents or
trademarks.

         To date, the Company has experienced no difficulty in satisfying its
requirements for raw materials and subcontractor assistance. It considers its
sources of supply to be adequate.

COMPETITION

         The Company defines its principal market as the volume production sign
industry. Competition varies depending on the market segment and the size of
the project. Larger projects require a more comprehensive service capability
which limits the number of competitors. Smaller, less complex projects attract
a larger number of competitors.

         Although no authoritative ranking of the Company's industry is
published, the Company believes that in 1994 it was the leading supplier of
volume production signs and related services in the United States. Most of the
Company's competition is from other suppliers, rather than from other products.

         Competition for national accounts, the principal source of the
Company's business, is intense. The Company believes it has adequate financial
resources with which to compete. In general, the Company believes that its
products, contract conditions, terms, and warranty provisions are consistent
with those prevailing in the industry. The Company believes that its principal
advantage is its ability to provide a complete range of products and services
to customers on a competitive basis.

EMPLOYEES

         The Company had a total of 843 full-time employees as of January 1,
1995 of which approximately sixty percent were employed under union contract.

PRODUCT BACKLOG

         At January 1, 1995, booked orders believed to be firm amounted to
approximately $32.1 million as compared with approximately $27.1 million at
January 2, 1994. Products are shipped by the Company against customer delivery
schedules, which generally call for delivery two to four months after the order
is placed. The Company believes that substantially all of its product backlog
at January 1, 1995 will be shipped before the end of its current fiscal year.
In addition to firm product backlog, the Company has open commitments from a
number of customers to supply products as required to meet their construction
schedules. At the time such a customer gives the Company a release to ship
signs to a particular location, the Company includes the products covered by
the release in backlog and commences production or ships the items from
inventory.

SEASONALITY

         The Company's sales in fiscal 1994 exhibited some limited seasonality,
with sales in the first quarter being the lowest and those in the fourth
quarter the highest. First quarter sales tend to be relatively lower because of
weather constraints which slow down customers' construction schedules and their
pattern of sign purchases. Sales normally accelerate in the second, third and
fourth quarters corresponding with accelerating construction schedules.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         The Company owns its corporate headquarters and manufacturing space in
Knoxville which are housed in two buildings on 45 acres of land. One building
contains approximately 23,000 square feet of office space. The other building
contains approximately 325,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The
facilities and equipment in Knoxville were financed in part with the proceeds
of industrial revenue bonds issued on behalf of the Company and are
collateralized by mortgages or liens. American Sign owns an approximately
230,000 square foot manufacturing and office facility in Florence, Kentucky.
The Company owns an approximately 170,000 square foot manufacturing and office
facility in Centerville, Tennessee, at which operations ceased during 1992. The
Company also rents approximately 20,000 square feet of manufacturing and office
facility in Ontario, California.  The Company's equipment consists primarily of 
molds, vacuum forming equipment, computers and general office equipment. The 
Company believes its existing facilities and equipment are adequate for 
present and anticipated business. The Company does not hold any material 
patents or trademarks.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On December 5, 1994, the Company and its subsidiary, American Sign,
filed a complaint (the "Complaint") against Teledyne Industries, Inc.
("Teledyne") in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the United States District Court for
the Eastern  District of Tennessee, Northern Division.  This litigation arose
in connection with an agreement with Teledyne whereby Teledyne was designing
and developing on behalf of the Company and American Sign a drive-through order
verification product for fast food restaurants ("Horizon").  Pursuant to the
Complaint, the Company and American Sign are seeking approximately $650,000
plus interest from Teledyne plus additional amounts to be proven at trial in
connection with their contract with Teledyne relating to Horizon design flaws. 
The Company and American Sign are also seeking a declaratory judgment against
Teledyne stating that the Company and American Sign are not obligated to
purchase any Horizon units.

         In connection with the Complaint, on January 20, 1995 Teledyne filed a
counterclaim against the Company and American Sign in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Northern Division seeking
approximately $2,355,754 plus interest and additional amounts to be proven at
trial.  This counterclaim is based on the Horizon contract and related fraud
and tortious interference claims.  The Company and American Sign dispute the
allegations in Teledyne's counterclaim and intend to vigorously defend
themselves in such litigation.

<PAGE>   40

         For purposes of minimum top-heavy allocations, contributions and
         forfeitures equal to 3% of each non-key employee's compensation 
         will be allocated to the employee's account when the plan is top-heavy.

                 [Insert a percentage that is not less than 3%; provided that
                 "0" may be inserted if the minimum allocation will be provided

                 If permitted pursuant to Section 22.2.1 of the plan, such

                 Employer contributions and forfeitures allocated on behalf of

                 contributions may be taken into account for the purpose of
                 satisfying the minimum top-heavy allocation requirement.  The
                 Employer may attach additional provisions as necessary to
                 satisfy Section 416 of the Code because of the required
                 aggregation of multiple plans.]

XVIII.   MAXIMUM ALLOCATIONS

A.       Correction of excess allocations (23.1.4; 23.2.6):

         If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable error
         in estimating a participant's compensation, a reasonable error in
         determining the amount of elective deferrals that may be made by a
         participant under the limitations of Section 23 of the plan, or other
         limited facts and circumstances, the maximum permissible amount would
         be exceeded for any limitation year, such excess amount with respect
         to a participant for such limitation year shall be disposed of in the
         following order:





                                      -40-
<PAGE>   41

         (1)     Any employee after-tax contributions (and any gains
                 attributable thereto) to the extent of such excess shall be
                 returned to the participant.

         (2)     If further reductions are necessary, any elective deferrals to
                 the extent of such excess shall be returned to the
                 participant.

         (3)     If further reductions are necessary, then the Committee shall
                 reduce the excess amount in the following manner: [Select one]

                  X      (a)      First, such participant's share of the
                 ----             discretionary Employer contributions, then
                                  his share of the matching contributions, and
                                  finally, his share of any forfeitures for the
                                  limitation year shall be reduced in that
                                  order to the extent of such remaining excess.
                                  Such excess amount shall be credited to a
                                  separate special account for the participant
                                  designated as a "suspense account," and shall
                                  be applied in the next limitation year (and
                                  succeeding limitation years if necessary) to
                                  reduce matching contributions and
                                  discretionary Employer contributions for the
                                  participant, provided he is covered under the
                                  plan as of the adjustment date such matching
                                  contributions or discretionary Employer
                                  contributions are allocated.  If the
                                  participant is not covered under the plan at
                                  such time, the balance of the suspense
                                  account shall be reallocated among the
                                  remaining participants in the ratio which
                                  each of such participant's compensation
                                  during the limitation year in question bears
                                  to the aggregate compensation of all such
                                  participants during such limitation year, and
                                  before any employee after-tax contribution,
                                  elective deferrals, qualified non-elective
                                  contributions, matching contributions,
                                  qualified matching contributions, or
                                  discretionary Employer contributions for such
                                  limitation year are allocated.

                                  The suspense account shall be adjusted
                                  annually for additions thereto and
                                  distributions therefrom, but not for any net
                                  income or net loss attributable thereto.  In
                                  the event the plan is terminated, any balance
                                  in the suspense account shall be returned to
                                  the Employer.

                          (b)     First, such participant's share of the
                 ----             discretionary Employer contributions, then
                                  his share of the matching contributions, and
                                  finally, his share of any forfeitures for the
                                  limitation year shall be reduced in that
                                  order to the extent of such remaining excess.
                                  The amount of the reduction shall be
                                  reallocated among the remaining participants
                                  in the ratio which each of such participant's
                                  compensation during the limitation year in
                                  question bears to the aggregate compensation
                                  of all such participants during such
                                  limitation year and before any employee
                                  after-tax  contributions, elective deferrals,
                                  qualified non-elective contributions,
                                  matching contributions, qualified matching
                                  contributions, or discretionary Employer
                                  contributions for such limitation year are
                                  allocated.  If all of the amount of such
                                  reduction cannot be reallocated without
                                  causing the account of each other participant
                                  to exceed the maximum permissible





                                      -41-
<PAGE>   42

                                  amount, then such remaining amount shall be
                                  credited to a suspense account.

                                  The suspense account shall contain the excess
                                  amounts of Employer contributions and
                                  forfeitures from all limitation years.  Such
                                  excess amounts shall be allocated for each
                                  succeeding limitation year among the accounts
                                  of participants in the ratio which each of
                                  such participant's compensation for the
                                  limitation year in question bears to the
                                  aggregate compensation of all such
                                  participants during such limitation year and
                                  before any employee after-tax contributions,
                                  elective deferrals, qualified non-elective
                                  contributions, matching contributions,
                                  qualified matching contributions, or
                                  discretionary Employer contributions for such
                                  year are allocated.  The suspense account
                                  shall be adjusted annually for additions
                                  thereto and distributions therefrom, but not
                                  for any net income or net loss attributable
                                  thereto.  In the event the plan is
                                  terminated, any balance in the suspense
                                  account shall be returned to the Employer.

         Notwithstanding anything above or in the plan to the contrary, if all
         or part of a participant's elective deferrals or employee after-tax
         contributions are distributed to the participant pursuant to the
         provisions of Section 23 of the plan, the matching contribution made
         with respect to such elective deferrals or employee after-tax
         contributions, adjusted for income and losses allocable thereto, shall
         be forfeited by the participant on or before the March 15 next
         following the end of the plan year for which the matching contribution
         was made.  The income and losses allocable to the forfeited matching
         contributions for the plan year shall be determined in the same manner
         as income and losses allocable to excess aggregate contribution are
         determined pursuant to Section 2.3.6.  Forfeitures of matching
         contributions (including income and losses allocable thereto) shall be
         applied in the current or next succeeding plan year in the same manner
         as elected by the Employer in item XII.C of this Adoption Agreement.

B.  Limits for multiple plans:

         If the Employer maintains another qualified defined contribution plan,
         other than a regional prototype plan:  [Select one]

          X      (1)      The provisions of Section 23.2.1 through 23.2.6 will
         ----             apply as if the other plan were a regional prototype
                          plan.

                 (2)      [Provide the method under which the plans will limit 
         ----             total annual additions to the maximum permissible 
                          amount, and will properly reduce any excess amounts,
                          in a manner that precludes Employer discretion].

                 SECTION 1.       DEFINITIONS:

                 As used in the plan, including this Section 1, references to
one gender shall include the other and, unless otherwise indicated by the
context:

                 1.1  "ACCOUNT" shall mean the aggregate of the separate
accounts maintained by the Committee with respect to each participant.  To the
extent applicable, the separate accounts so maintained shall include the
following:

                          2.1.6;

                 (ii)     the qualified non-elective contribution account
                          described in Section 2.1.6;

                 (iii)    the employee after-tax contribution account described
                          in Section 2.2.3;

                 (iv)     the matching contribution account described in
                          Section 2.3.3;

                 (v)      the qualified matching contribution account described
                          in Section 2.3.3;

                 (vi)     the discretionary Employer contribution account
                          described in Section 2.4;

                 (vii)    the deductible contribution account described in
                          Section 2.5;

                 (viii)   the mandatory contribution account described in
                          Section 2.6;

                 (ix)     the direct transfer account described in Section 18;
                          and

                 (x)      the rollover account described in Section 19.

                 1.2      "ACCRUED BENEFIT" shall mean with respect to each
participant the balance in his account (including all of the separate accounts
described in Section 1.1) as of the applicable adjustment date following
adjustment thereof as provided in Section 7.

                 1.3      "ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE" or "ADP" shall mean with
respect to a participant for a plan year, the average of the ratio (calculated
to the nearest one-hundredth of a percentage point) 


                                       1
<PAGE>   53


of (i) the amount of Employer contributions actually paid over to the trust on
behalf of such participant for the plan year (other than elective deferrals
distributed to the participant pursuant to Section 23.1.4) to (ii) the
participant's testing compensation for such plan year.  Employer contributions
on behalf of any participant shall include:  (a) any elective deferrals made
pursuant to the participant's deferral election (including excess elective
deferrals of highly compensated participants), but excluding (1) excess elective
deferrals of non-highly compensated participants that arise solely from elective
deferrals made under the plan or plans of the Employer and (2) elective
deferrals that are taken into account in the ACP test (provided the ADP test is
satisfied both with and without exclusion of these elective deferrals); and (b)
at the election of the Employer, qualified non-elective contributions and
qualified matching contributions.  The ADP of an employee who is eligible to
make elective deferrals under the plan but fails to do so, and who does not
receive an allocation of any qualified non-elective contributions or qualified
matching contributions that are taken into account in the ADP test, shall be
zero.  The ADP of a specified group of participants for a plan year shall be the
average (expressed as a percentage and calculated to the nearest one-hundredth
of a percentage point) of the ADPs calculated separately for each participant in
such group.  For purposes of determining the ADP of a participant who is a five
percent owner or one of the ten most highly compensated employees, the elective
deferrals and testing compensation of such participant shall include the
elective deferrals and testing compensation for the plan year of family members
(as defined in Section 1.33.6).  The determination and treatment of the ADP of
any participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by
the Secretary of the Treasury.

                 1.4      "ADJUSTMENT DATE" shall mean the last day of each
plan year (the "year-end adjustment date"), and such other days during a plan
year as shall be designated in the Adoption Agreement.  If the Employer shall
designate daily adjustment dates under the Adoption Agreement, adjustments to
the accounts of participants shall be made on each day securities are traded on
a national stock exchange, except regularly scheduled holidays of the Sponsor
or Trustee.

                 1.5      "ADOPTION AGREEMENT" shall mean the written agreement
pursuant to which the Employer adopts the plan, which agreement shall be
between the Employer and the Trustee.  The Adoption Agreement is a part of the
plan as applied to the Employer and is expressly incorporated herein by
reference.

                 1.6      "AFFILIATED EMPLOYER" shall mean (i) any corporation
which is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section
414(b) of the Code) which includes the Employer; (ii) any trade or business
(whether or not incorporated) that is under common control (as defined in
Section 414(c) of the Code) with the Employer; (iii) any organization (whether
or not incorporated) which is a member of an affiliated service group (as 
defined in Section 414(m) of the Code) which includes the Employer; and (iv) 
any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 414(o) of 
the Code.

                 1.7      "AGGREGATE LIMIT" shall mean the sum of (i) 125% of
the greater of the ADP of the non-highly compensated participants for the plan
year or the ACP of the non-highly compensated participants under the plan
subject to Section 401(m) of the Code for the plan year beginning with or
within the plan year of the cash or deferred arrangement, as described in
Section 401(k) of the Code ("CODA"), and (ii) the lesser of 200% or two plus
the lesser of such ADP or ACP. "Lesser" is substituted for "greater" in "(i)",
above, and "greater" is substituted for "lesser" after "two plus the" in "(ii)"
if such substitutions would result in a larger aggregate limit.

                 1.8      "AVERAGE CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE" or "ACP" shall
mean, for a specified group of participants for a plan year, the average of the
contribution percentages of the eligible participants in such group (calculated
separately for each participant in such group to the nearest one-hundredth of a
percentage point).

                 1.9      "BOARD" shall mean the Board of Directors of the
Employer if the Employer is a corporation.  If the Employer is an
unincorporated employer, "Board" shall mean the Employer.

                 1.10     A "BREAK IN SERVICE" shall mean, with respect to an
employee, the following:

                 1.10.1   If the Employer shall not designate the elapsed time
         method of crediting hours of service in the Adoption Agreement, the
         computation period in which the employee shall not have completed more
         than 500 hours of service.  Such period shall be the plan year unless
         otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.14.1.

                 1.10.2   If the Employer shall designate the elapsed time
         method of crediting hours of service in the Adoption Agreement, a
         break in service shall mean a period of severance of at least 12-
         consecutive months.  Solely for purposes of determining whether a
         break in service has occurred, in the case of an employee 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 Section 1.10.2, an absence from work for
         maternity or paternity reasons shall have the same meaning as set
         forth in Section 1.34.5.

                 1.11     "CODE" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and the rules and regulations issued thereunder.

                 1.12     "COMMITTEE" shall mean the administrative committee
provided for in Section 10.

                 1.13     "COMPENSATION" shall mean, for purposes of allocating
contributions and forfeitures under the plan, compensation as that term is
designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  For any self-employed
individual covered under the plan, "compensation" shall mean earned income, as
defined in Section 1.18.  Compensation shall include only that compensation
which is actually paid to the participant during the determination period (as
described in this Section 1.13).

                 1.13.1   Except as otherwise provided in the plan, the
         determination period shall be the period elected by the Employer in
         the Adoption Agreement.  If the Employer makes no election, the
         determination period shall be the plan year.  If the determination
         year is the plan year, compensation shall be measured only during the
         portion of the plan year during which the employee is eligible to
         participate in the plan, provided that if such information is not
         readily available, compensation for the entire plan year shall be
         used.

                 1.13.2   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if elected by the
         Employer in the Adoption Agreement, compensation shall include any
         amount which is contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary
         reduction agreement and which is not includable in the 


                                       3

         gross income of the employee under Section 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or

                 1.13.3 In additional to other applicable limitations set forth
         in the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to
         the contrary, for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1989 and
         before January 1, 1994, the annual Compensation of each Employee taken
         into account under this Plan for any such Plan Year shall not exceed
         $200,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost of living pursuant to
         Code Section 401(a)(17).  For Plan Years beginning on or after January
         1, 1994, the annual Compensation of each Employee taken into account
         under the Plan shall not exceed the OBRA '93 annual compensation
         limit.  The OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000, as
         adjusted by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue for increases in
         the cost of living in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B).  The
         cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any
         period, not exceeding 12 months, over which Compensation is determined
         (determination period) beginning in such calendar year.  If a
         determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the annual
         compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
         which is the number of months in the determination period, and the
         denominator of which is 12.

                 1.13.4 For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994,
         any reference in this Plan to the limitation under Code Section
         401(a)(17) shall mean the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit set forth
         in the preceding paragraph.  If Compensation for any prior
         determination period is taken into account in determining an
         Employee's benefits accruing in the current Plan Year, the
         Compensation for that prior determination period is subject to the
         OBRA '93 annual compensation limit in effect for that prior
         determination period.  For this purpose, for determination periods
         beginning before the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or
         after January 1, 1994, the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is
         $150,000.

                 1.13.5 In determining the Compensation of a Participant for
         purposes of the above Compensation limitation, the family aggregation
         rules of Code Section 414(q)(6) shall apply, except in applying such
         rules, the term "family" shall include only the spouse of the
         Participant and any lineal descendants of the Participant who have not
         attained age 19 before the close of the Plan Year.  If, as a result of
         the application of this paragraph, the Compensation limitation applies
         to a family aggregation unit, the limitation shall be prorated among
         the affected individuals in proportion to each such affected
         individual's Compensation as determined under this Section prior to
         the application of this limitation, or in accordance with any other
         method permitted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

                 1.14     "COMPUTATION PERIOD" shall mean a 12-consecutive
month period, as follows:

                 1.14.1   For purposes of plan participation, the computation
         period initially shall be the 12-consecutive month period beginning
         on the date an employee first completes an hour of service.
         Thereafter, the computation period shall be the plan year, beginning
         with the plan year containing the first anniversary of the date the
         employee first completes an hour of service, regardless of whether the
         employee is entitled to be credited with 1,000 hours of service during
         the initial 12-month period.


                                       4
<PAGE>   56

                 1.14.2   For purposes of determining years of service, the
         computation period shall be the plan year (and the 12-consecutive
         month period which is substantially the same as the plan year for
         periods prior to the effective date of the plan), unless otherwise
         specifically provided herein.

                 1.15     "CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE" shall mean with respect to
a participant for a plan year the ratio (expressed as a percentage and
calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a percentage point) of the
participant's contribution percentage amounts to the participant's testing
compensation for the plan year.  Pursuant to regulations issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Committee may elect to take into account
elective deferrals made on behalf of any participant to any qualified plan
maintained by the Employer for purposes of determining the contribution
percentage of such participant.  For purposes of determining the contribution
percentage of a participant who is a five percent owner or one of the ten most
highly compensated employees, the contribution percentage amounts (including
elective deferrals if taken into account for purposes of determining the
contribution percentage) and testing compensation of such participant shall
include the contribution percentage amounts (including elective deferrals, if
applicable) and testing compensation for the plan year of family members (as
defined in Section 1.33.6).  Family members with respect to highly compensated
participants shall be disregarded as separate employees in determining the
contribution percentage both for non-highly compensated participants and highly
compensated participants.  The determination and treatment of the contribution
percentage of any participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

                 1.16     "CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE AMOUNTS" shall mean the sum
of the employee after-tax contributions, matching contributions, and qualified
matching contributions (to the extent not taken into account (including excess
contributions recharacterized as employee after-tax contributions) for purposes
of the ADP test) made under the plan on behalf of the participant for the plan
year.  An excess contribution that is recharacterized is taken into account in
the Plan Year in which the excess contribution is includable in the employee's
gross income.  Such contribution percentage amounts shall not include (i)
employee after-tax contributions that are returned to the participant pursuant
to Section 23.1.4, or (ii) matching contributions that are forfeited either to
correct excess aggregate contributions or because the contributions to which
they relate are excess deferrals, excess contributions, or excess aggregate
contributions.  The Employer may include qualified non-elective contributions
in the contribution percentage amounts.  The Employer also may elect to use
elective deferrals in the contribution percentage amounts so long as the ADP
test is met before the elective deferrals are used in the ACP test and
continues to be met following the exclusion of those elective deferrals that
are used to meet the ACP test.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, elective
deferrals distributed to a participant pursuant to the provisions of Section
23.1.4 may not be taken into account for purposes of determining the
contribution percentage amount of such participant.

                 1.17     "DISABILITY" shall mean the permanent and total
inability of a participant to perform his regular duties with the Employer, or
any other duties the Employer is willing to assign him.  The determination of
the existence or nonexistence of disability shall be made by the Committee in a
nondiscriminatory manner pursuant to a medical examination by a medical doctor
selected or approved by the Committee.

                 1.18     "EARNED INCOME" shall mean the net earnings from
self-employment in the trade or business with respect to which the plan is
established for which personal services of the individual are a material
income-producing factor.  Net earnings will be determined without regard to
items not included in gross income and the deductions allocable to such items.
Net earnings are reduced by contributions by the Employer to a qualified plan
to the extent deductible by the Employer under Section 


                                       5

<PAGE>   57

404 of the Code.  Net earnings shall be determined with regard to the 
deduction allowed to the Employer by Section 164(f) of the Code for taxable 
years beginning after December 31, 1989.

                 1.19     "EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN" shall mean the date that
the plan becomes effective with respect to the Employer, as specified by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement.

                 1.20     "ELECTIVE DEFERRALS" shall mean contributions made to
the plan during the plan year by the Employer, at the election of the
participant, in lieu of cash compensation and shall include contributions that
are made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or other deferral mechanism.
Such contributions must be nonforfeitable when made and distributable only as
specified in Section 3.8.  With respect to any taxable year, a participant's
elective deferral is the sum of all Employer contributions made on behalf of
such participant pursuant to an election to defer under any qualified CODA, any
simplified employee pension that includes a cash or deferred arrangement as
described in Section 402(h)(1)(B), any eligible deferred compensation plan
under Section 457, any plan as described under Section 501(c)(18), and any
employer contributions made on the behalf of a participant for the purchase of
an annuity contract under Section 403(b) pursuant to a salary reduction
agreement.  Elective deferrals shall not include any deferrals properly
distributed as excess annual additions.

                 1.21     "ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE" shall mean each employee of the
Employer; provided, that if the plan is not a standardized form plan, "eligible
employee" shall mean each employee of the Employer except those excluded
pursuant to the Adoption Agreement.

                 1.22     "ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT" shall mean, for purposes of
the ACP test, any employee of the Employer who is eligible to make an employee
after-tax contribution, or an elective deferral (if the Employer takes such
contributions into account in the calculation of the contribution percentage),
or to receive a matching contribution (including forfeitures) or a qualified
matching contribution.  If an employee after-tax contribution or an elective
deferral is required as a condition of participation in the plan, any employee
who would be a participant in the plan if such employee made such a
contribution shall be treated as an eligible participant on behalf of whom no
employee after- tax contributions or elective deferrals are made.

                 1.23     "EMPLOYEE" shall mean, except as otherwise provided
in this Section 1.23, an individual in the service of the Employer if the
relationship between him and the Employer is the legal relationship of employer
and employee.  In determining who is an employee for the purposes of this plan,
the following special provisions shall apply:

                 1.23.1   Except as provided in Section 23.5.6 and the Adoption
         Agreement, all employees of an affiliated employer shall be treated as
         employees of the Employer.

                 1.23.2   All leased employees deemed to be employees of the
         Employer or an affiliated employer as provided in Section 414(n) or
         414(o) of the Code and the regulations thereunder shall be treated as
         employees of the Employer.

                 1.23.3   All employees included in a unit of employees covered
         by a collective bargaining agreement, if retirement benefits were the
         subject of good faith bargaining, shall not be treated as employees of
         the Employer, unless representatives of the bargaining unit and the
         Employer mutually agree to the inclusion of members of such bargaining
         unit in the plan.


                                       6
<PAGE>   58

                 1.23.4   All employees who are nonresident aliens and who
         receive no earned income (within the meaning of Section 911(d)(2) of
         the Code) from the Employer which constitutes income from sources
         within the United States (within the meaning of Section 861(a)(3) of 
         the Code) shall not be treated as employees of the Employer.

See Sections 1.21 and 1.40 for provisions governing eligibility of an employee
to become a participant in the plan.  See Section 1.6 for definition of an
affiliated employer.

                 1.24     "EMPLOYEE AFTER-TAX CONTRIBUTION" shall mean any
contribution made to the plan by or on behalf of a participant that is included
in the participant's gross income in the year in which made.

                 1.25     "EMPLOYER" shall mean each employer entering into an
Adoption Agreement.  All references herein to the "Employer" shall be applied
to each such Employer as if the plan were solely the plan of that Employer.
The Employer entering into an Adoption Agreement together with the Trustee may
be a corporation, or a partnership or sole proprietorship (herein, an
"unincorporated employer").  If the plan is a standardized form plan, each
affiliated employer must become a party to the plan by entering into the
Adoption Agreement together with the Trustee.  If the plan is not a
standardized form plan, each affiliated employer may become a party to the
plan, if desired, by entering into the Adoption Agreement together with the
Trustee.  With respect to each affiliated employer which becomes a party to the
plan, the following special provisions shall apply:

                 1.25.1   As used in the plan, unless otherwise indicated by
         the context, the term "Employer" shall mean collectively all
         employer-parties to the plan.

                 1.25.2   The plan shall be applied as a single plan with
         respect to all employer-parties as if there were only one
         employer-party, and service for purposes of the plan shall be
         interchangeable among employer-parties to the plan and shall not be
         deemed to be interrupted by the transfer at anytime of an employee
         from the service of one employer-party to the plan to the service of
         another employer-party.

                 1.25.3   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there shall
         be a single Committee with respect to all employer-parties to the
         plan, which shall be the Committee designated under the Adoption
         Agreement.

                 1.25.4   If this plan is adopted by two or more affiliated
         employers, one Employer shall be designated as the "sponsoring
         Employer," and shall be authorized to amend the Adoption Agreement on
         behalf of itself and all affiliated employers, subject to Section
         11.1.2 of the plan.

                 1.26     "EMPLOYER STOCK" shall mean shares of any class of
stock issued by the Employer or any other corporation which is a member of the
same controlled group of corporations (within the meaning of Section 414(b) of
the Code) which includes the Employer.

                 1.27     "EMPLOYMENT COMMENCEMENT DATE" shall mean the date on
which an employee first completes an hour of service.

                 1.28     "ENTRY DATE" shall mean the date designated by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement on which an eligible employee shall enter
the plan and become a participant.

                 1.29     "ERISA" shall mean the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (including amendments of the Code affected
thereby), and the rules and regulations issued thereunder.

                 1.30     "EXCESS AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS" shall mean, with
respect to any plan year, the excess of: (i) the aggregate contribution
percentage amounts which are taken into account in computing the numerator of
the contribution percentage and are actually made on behalf of highly
compensated employees for such plan year, over (ii) the maximum contribution
percentage amounts permitted by the ACP test (determined in accordance with
Section 1.401(m)-1(e)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations by reducing
contributions made on behalf of highly compensated employees in order of their
contribution percentages, beginning with the highest of such percentages).

                 1.31     "EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS" shall mean, with respect to
any plan year, the excess of:  (i) the aggregate amount of the Employer
contributions which are actually taken into account in computing the ADP of
highly compensated participants for such plan year and are actually made on
behalf of highly compensated employees for such plan year, over (ii) the
maximum amount of such contributions permitted under the ADP test (determined
in accordance with Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations by
reducing contributions made on behalf of highly compensated participants in
order of their ADPs, beginning with the highest of such percentages).

                 1.32     "EXCESS ELECTIVE DEFERRALS" shall mean those elective
deferrals that are includable in a participant's gross income under Section
402(g) of the Code to the extent such elective deferrals exceed the dollar
limitation under Section 402(g) of the Code.

                 1.33     "HIGHLY COMPENSATED PARTICIPANT" shall mean any
participant who is a highly compensated employee.  A "non-highly compensated
participant" shall mean any participant who is neither a highly compensated
participant nor a family member (within the meaning of Section 1.33.6) of a
highly compensated participant.  Any individual who has been a highly
compensated participant but who has ceased to be a participant for any reason
shall be treated as a highly compensated participant if he is a former employee
within the meaning of Section 1.33.7.  A "highly compensated employee" shall
mean any employee who, during the determination year (as defined in Section
1.33.3) or the look-back year (as defined in Section 1.33.3):

                 (i)      was at any time a five percent owner (as defined in
         Section 416(i)(1)(iii) of the Code);

                 (ii)     received compensation from the Employer and
         affiliated employers in excess of $75,000 (adjusted pursuant to
         Section 415(d) of the Code);

                 (iii)    received compensation from the Employer and
         affiliated employers in excess of $50,000 (adjusted pursuant to
         Section 415(d) of the Code) and was in the top-paid group of employees
         for such year; or

                 (iv)     was at any time an officer and received compensation
         greater than 50% of the dollar limitation in effect under Section
         415(b)(1)(A) of the Code for such year.  No more than 50 employees
         (or, if lesser, the greater of three employees or ten percent of the
         employees) shall be treated as officers.  If for any year no officer
         of the Employer receives compensation greater than 50% of the dollar
         limitation in effect for such year, the highest paid officer of the
         Employer for such year shall be treated as a highly compensated
         employee.


                                       8
<PAGE>   60

For purposes of this Section 1.33, the following special provisions shall
apply:

                 1.33.1   If the Employer at all times during the plan year
         maintains significant business activities (and employs employees in
         such activities) in at least two significantly separate geographic
         areas and satisfies such other conditions as the Secretary of the
         Treasury may prescribe, the Committee may elect to apply a simplified
         definition of highly compensated participant under the plan by
         substituting "$50,000" for "$75,000" in paragraph (ii) above, and
         disregarding paragraph (iii) above.

                 1.33.2   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.23, the
         term "employee" shall mean an individual in the service of the
         Employer if the relationship between him and the Employer is the legal
         relationship of employer and employee.

                 1.33.3   The determination year shall be the plan year.  The
         look-back year shall be the 12- month period immediately preceding the
         determination year.  The Committee may elect to make the look- back
         year calculation for a determination year on the basis of the calendar
         year ending with or within the applicable determination year.

                 1.33.4   An employee not described in paragraph (ii), (iii),
         or (iv) above for the look-back year (without regard to this Section
         1.33.4) shall not be treated as described in paragraph (ii), (iii) or
         (iv) in the current plan year unless he is one of the 100 employees
         paid the greatest compensation during the current plan year.

                 1.33.5   An employee who performs services for the Employer
         any time during the year is in the top-paid group of employees for any
         year if such employee is in the group consisting of the top 20% of the
         employees when ranked on the basis of compensation paid during such
         year.  For purposes of determining the number of employees in the
         top-paid group (but not for identifying the particular employees in
         the top-paid group), the following employees shall be excluded:

                          (i)     employees who have not completed six months
         of service;

                          (ii)    employees who normally work less than 17 1/2
         hours per week;

                          (iii)   employees who normally work not more than six
         months during any year;

                          (iv)    employees who have not attained age 21;

                          (v)     employees who are included in a unit of
         employees covered by a bona fide collective bargaining agreement with
         the Employer; and

                          (vi)    employees who are nonresident aliens and who
         receive no earned income (within the meaning of Section 911(d)(2) of 
         the Code) from the Employer which constitutes income from sources 
         within the United States (within the meaning of Section 861(a)(3) of 
         the Code).


                                       9
<PAGE>   61

         The Committee may elect to apply paragraph (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv)
         of this Section 1.33.5 by substituting a shorter period of service,
         smaller number of hours or months, or lower age for that specified in
         such subparagraphs.

                 1.33.6   If any individual is a member of the family of a five
         percent owner or of a highly compensated employee who is one of the
         ten most highly compensated employees during the plan year, then (i)
         such individual shall not be considered a separate employee, and (ii)
         any compensation paid to such individual (and any contribution or
         benefit on behalf of such individual) shall be treated as if it were
         paid to (or on behalf of) the five percent owner or highly compensated
         employee.  For purposes of this Section 1.33.6, the term "family" or
         "family member" means, with respect to any employee, such employee's
         spouse and lineal ascendants or descendants and the spouses of lineal
         ascendants or descendants.

                 1.33.7   A former employee shall be treated as a highly
         compensated employee if he was a highly compensated employee when he
         separated from service, or at any time after attaining age 55.

The determination of who is a highly compensated employee, including any
calendar year calculation election and any determination of the number and
identity of employees in the top-paid group, the 100 employees paid the
greatest compensation, the number of employees treated as officers, and the
compensation considered for purposes of this Section 1.33, shall be made in
accordance with Section 414(q) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

                 1.34     "HOUR OF SERVICE" shall mean the following:

                 1.34.1   Each hour for which an employee is paid or entitled
         to payment by the Employer or an affiliated employer for the
         performance of service.  Each such hour shall be credited to the
         employee for the computation period (as defined in Section 1.14) in
         which the service is performed.

                 1.34.2   Each hour for which an employee is paid, or entitled
         to payment, by the Employer or an affiliated employer on account of a
         period of time during which no service is performed, irrespective of
         whether the employment relationship has terminated, such as vacation,
         holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), lay-off, jury
         duty, military duty, or leave of absence.  Each such hour shall be
         credited to the employee for the computation period in which no duties
         are performed.  In applying this Section 1.34.2, the following
         provisions shall apply for periods in which an employee is not
         actually in service:

                          (i)     The number of hours to be credited with
                 respect to any single continuous period (whether or not such
                 period occurs in a single computation period for which hours
                 are credited) shall be the lesser of:  (a) 501 hours, or (b)
                 the number of hours for which the employee is paid with
                 respect to such single continuous period; provided, that in
                 determining whether an employee has incurred a break in
                 service, the provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not limit
                 the number of hours to be credited to such employee on account
                 of a leave of absence;

                          (ii)    No hours shall be credited with respect to
                 payments made to the employee for the purpose of complying
                 with applicable worker's compensation, 


                                      10

                 unemployment compensation or disability insurance laws, or 
                 payments solely to reimburse an employee for medical or 
                 medically related expenses incurred by the employee; and

                          (iii)   An amount paid to an employee by the Employer
                 or an affiliated employer indirectly, such as by a trust,
                 fund, or insurer to which the Employer makes contributions or
                 pays premiums, shall be deemed to be paid by the Employer.

                 1.34.3   Each hour (to the extent not included in Section
         1.34.1 or 1.34.2) for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of
         damages, has been either awarded or agreed to by the Employer or an
         affiliated employer.  Each such hour shall 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.

                 1.34.4   Each hour for which an employee is not actually in
         service but is required to be given credit for service under any law
         of the United States.  Each such hour shall be credited to the
         employee for the computation period for which the employee is required
         to be given credit for service.

                 1.34.5   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
         Section 1.34, solely for the purpose of determining whether an
         employee has incurred a break in service for participation and vesting
         purposes in a computation period, the following special provisions
         shall apply:

                          (i)     In addition to hours for which an employee is
                 entitled to credit under the preceding paragraphs of this
                 Section 1.34, such employee shall also receive credit for each
                 hour with respect to the period that he is on a leave of 
                 absence approved by the Employer for which he is not paid or 
                 entitled to payment.

                          (ii)    An employee who is absent from work for 
                 maternity or paternity reasons shall receive credit for the
                 hours of service which would otherwise have been credited to
                 such employee but for such absence, or in any case in which
                 such hours cannot be determined, eight hours of service per day
                 of such absence. For purposes of this paragraph (ii), an
                 absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons means an
                 absence (a) by reason of the pregnancy of the employee, (b) by
                 reason of a birth of a child of the employee, (c) by reason of
                 the placement of a child with the employee in connection with
                 the adoption of such child by such employee, or (d) for
                 purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning
                 immediately following such birth or placement.  The hours of
                 service credited under this paragraph (ii) shall be credited
                 with respect to the computation period used in determining
                 years of service and breaks in service in which the absence
                 begins, if the crediting is necessary to prevent a break in
                 service in that period; in all other cases, such hours of
                 service shall be credited in the following computation period. 
                 No more than 501 hours of service are required to be credited
                 for maternity or paternity reasons.  No credit shall be given
                 under this Section 1.34.5 unless the employee furnishes to the
                 Committee such timely information as the Committee reasonably
                 may require to establish 


                                      11

<PAGE>   63

                 that the absence is for a reason described in this Section 
                 1.34.5 and the number of days for which there was such an 
                 absence.

                 1.34.6   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employer shall
         elect the elapsed time method of crediting hours of service under the
         Adoption Agreement, an hour of service shall mean each hour for which
         an employee is paid, or entitled to payment, by the Employer for the
         performance of duties for the Employer.

Hours of service for all employees shall be determined on the basis of actual
hours worked or such equivalency as may be designated by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 1.34 shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1.52 of the plan and United States
Department of Labor Regulations Sections 2530.200b-2(b) and (c) (which
provisions are incorporated herein by reference).  The method used for
determining hours of service shall be as elected by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement.

                 1.35     "LEASED EMPLOYEE" shall mean any individual, other
than an employee of the Employer or an affiliated employer (the "recipient
employer"), who, pursuant to an agreement between the recipient employer and
any other person (the "leasing organization") has performed services for the
recipient employer (or the recipient employer and related persons determined in
accordance with Section 414(n) of the Code) on a substantially full-time basis
for a period of at least one year, and such services are of a type historically
performed by employment in the business field of the recipient employer.
Contributions or benefits provided a leased employee by the leasing
organization which are attributable to services performed for the recipient
employer shall be treated as provided by the recipient employer.  A leased
employee shall not be considered an employee of the recipient employer if:  (i)
such individual is covered by a money purchase pension plan providing:  (a) a
nonintegrated employer contribution rate of at least ten percent of
compensation, as defined in Section 23.5.2 of the Code, but including amounts
contributed pursuant to a salary reduction agreement which are excludable from
the employee's gross income under Section 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) of
the Code, (b) immediate participation, and (c) full and immediate vesting; and
(ii) leased employees do not constitute more than 20% of the recipient
employer's non-highly compensated work force, as defined in Section
414(n)(5)(C)(ii) of the Code.

                 1.36     "MATCHING CONTRIBUTION" shall mean an Employer
contribution made to this or any other defined contribution plan maintained by
the Employer on behalf of a participant on account of an employee after-tax
contribution made by such participant, or on account of a participant's
elective deferrals.

                 1.37     "NET PROFIT" shall mean the current or accumulated
earnings of the Employer as determined according to generally accepted
accounting principles and practices by the accountant of the Employer, subject
to the following adjustments:  (i) gains or losses arising from the sale or
other disposition of fixed or capital assets of the Employer shall be excluded;
(ii) taxes based upon income shall not be deducted; and (iii) contributions of
the Employer under this plan or any other defined contribution plan maintained
by the Employer shall not be deducted; provided, that by so specifying in the
Adoption Agreement the Employer may exclude from "net profit" a stated base
amount, or a specified return on the net worth of the Employer.

                 1.38     "NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE" of a participant shall mean
the age specified in the Adoption Agreement.  The "normal retirement date" of a
participant shall mean the date he attains his normal retirement age.


                                      12
<PAGE>   64

                 1.39     "OWNER-EMPLOYEE" shall mean an individual who is a
sole proprietor, or who is a partner owning more than ten percent of either the
capital interest or profits interest in a partnership.  If this plan provides
contributions or benefits for one or more owner-employees who control both the
business for which this plan is established and one or more other trades or
businesses, this plan and the plan established for such other trades or
businesses must, when looked at as a single plan, satisfy Sections 401(a) and
(d) of the Code for the employees of this and all other trades or businesses.
If the plan provides contributions or benefits for one or more owner-employees
who control one or more other trades or businesses, the employees of the other
trades or businesses must be included in a plan which satisfies Sections 401(a)
and (d) of the Code and which provides contributions and benefits not less
favorable than provided for owner-employees under this plan.  If an individual
is covered as an owner-employee under the plans of two or more trades or
businesses which are not controlled and the individual controls a trade or
business, then the contributions or benefits of the employees under the plan of
the trades or businesses which are controlled must be as favorable as those
provided for him under the most favorable plan of the trade or
business which is not controlled.  For purposes of the preceding provisions of
this Section 1.39, an owner-employee, or two or more owner-employees, will be
considered to control a trade or business if the owner-employee, or two or more
owner-employees together:  (i) own the entire interest in an unincorporated
trade or business, or (ii) in the case of a partnership, own more than 50% of
either the capital interest or the profits interest in the partnership.  For
purposes of the preceding sentence, an owner-employee, or two or more
owner-employees, shall be treated as owning any interest in a partnership which
is owned, directly or indirectly, by a partnership which such owner-employee,
or such two or more owner-employees, are considered to control within the
meaning of the preceding sentence.

                 1.40     "PARTICIPANT" shall mean with respect to any plan
year an eligible employee who has entered the plan and any former employee who
has an accrued benefit which is not wholly forfeitable for the plan year
pursuant to Section 5.  An eligible employee or former employee on the
effective date of the plan who was a participant in a prior plan (as specified
in Section 17) immediately preceding such effective date shall automatically be
a participant in this plan as of such effective date.  An eligible employee who
was not such a participant in a prior plan and has not otherwise entered the
plan shall enter the plan and become a participant in accordance with the
provisions elected in the Adoption Agreement.  For purposes of determining
eligibility to participate, the following special provisions shall apply to the
extent applicable:

                 1.40.1   An eligible employee who is not in service on the
         date he is eligible to enter the plan shall not enter the plan until
         he reenters service as an eligible employee, whereupon he shall
         immediately enter the plan.

                 1.40.2   If an employee incurs a one year break in service
         before satisfying the plan's requirements for eligibility to
         participate, service before such break will not be taken into account
         for eligibility purposes.

                 1.40.3   In the case of a participant who does not have any
         nonforfeitable right to his accrued benefit attributable to elective
         deferrals, matching contributions, or discretionary Employer
         contributions, years of service before a period of consecutive one
         year breaks in service will not be taken into account in computing
         eligibility service if the number of consecutive one year breaks in
         service in such period equals or exceeds the greater of five or the
         aggregate number of his years of service.  Such aggregate number of
         years of service will not include any years of service disregarded
         under the preceding sentence by reason of prior breaks in service.  If
         a participant's years of service are disregarded pursuant to this
         Section 1.40.3, such participant will be treated as a new employee for
         eligibility purposes.  If such participant's years of service are not


                                      13

<PAGE>   65

         disregarded pursuant to this Section 1.40.3, he shall continue to
         participate in the plan if such breaks in service were not accompanied
         by a termination of service, or, if the participant had terminated
         service, he shall reenter the plan immediately upon his return to
         service.

                 1.40.4   A participant who terminates service shall reenter
         the plan immediately upon his return to service if such participant
         has a nonforfeitable right to any portion of his accrued benefit
         attributable to elective deferrals, matching contributions, or
         discretionary Employer contributions, at the time of such termination
         of service.

                 1.40.5   In the event a participant shall lose his status as
         an eligible employee, but shall not incur a break in service, such
         employee shall reenter the plan immediately upon his return to such
         eligible class.  If such employee incurs a break in service, his
         eligibility to reenter the plan shall be determined pursuant to this
         Section 1.40.  In the event an employee who is not a member of the
         eligible class of employees becomes a member of such eligible class,
         such employee shall enter the plan immediately if he has satisfied the
         participation requirements designated by the Employer in the Adoption
         Agreement and would have previously entered the plan had he been in
         the eligible class.

                 1.40.6   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employer shall
         designate the elapsed time method of crediting hours of service under
         the Adoption Agreement, an eligible employee who otherwise has not
         entered the plan shall enter the plan and become a participant as of
         the entry date designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement
         coincident with or next following the completion of a period or
         periods of service which when aggregated equal at least 365 days,
         provided he is in service on such entry date.  For the purpose of
         applying the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.40.6, the
         following provisions shall apply:  (i) an eligible employee who has
         incurred a severance from service date on or before the date he is
         eligible to enter the plan and later reenters service before he incurs
         a break in service shall enter the plan on the date that he reenters
         service as an eligible employee; (ii) an eligible employee who is
         absent from service on the date he is eligible to enter the plan and
         later reenters service before he incurs a severance from service date,
         shall enter the plan effective as of the first entry date that
         occurred during his period of absence; and (iii) a participant who has
         incurred a break in service and later reenters service shall reenter
         the plan as of the date he reenters service as an eligible employee.

                 1.41     A "PERIOD OF SERVICE" shall mean a continuous period
of time during which the employee is in service with the Employer.  A period of
service shall begin on the employee's employment commencement date or
reemployment commencement date, whichever is applicable, and shall end on the
date of the employee's severance from service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a period of severance of less than 12-consecutive months shall be included in
an employee's period of service.

                 1.42     A "PERIOD OF SEVERANCE" shall mean a continuous
period of time during which the employee is not in service with the Employer.
A period of severance shall begin on the employee's severance from service date
and shall end on the date on which the employee again completes or is credited 
with an hour of service.

                 1.43     "PLAN" shall mean the Godwins Booke & Dickenson
Prototype Profit Sharing and Employee Savings Plan and Trust as herein set out

contributions that are (i) made to the plan by the Employer for the plan year
and allocated to a participant's account by reason of elective deferrals or
employee after-tax contributions, (ii) nonforfeitable when made, and (ii)

                 1.47     "QUALIFIED NON-ELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS" shall mean
contributions (other than matching contributions or qualified matching
contributions) that are (i) made by the Employer and allocated to a
participant's account that the participant may not elect to currently receive
in cash, (ii) nonforfeitable when made, and (iii) distributable only as
specified in Section 3.8.

                 1.48     "REEMPLOYMENT COMMENCEMENT DATE" shall mean the first

         including as a participant an individual who is in the service of an
         affiliated employer which is not a party to the plan.  See Section
         1.25 for requirement that each affiliated employer must become a party
         to a standardized form plan.

                 1.52.2   Unless otherwise elected by the Employer in the
         Adoption Agreement, service with an employer prior to becoming an

Code.  The amount of testing compensation with respect to any participant shall
include his testing compensation for the entire plan year or, if elected by the
Committee, that portion of the plan year in which the employee was eligible to

         employees in service on such date, and with respect to each such
         employee only to the extent of full plan years of uninterrupted
         service preceding such date (or his normal retirement age, if


                                      16

         earlier).  For this purpose, the "computation date" shall mean the
         later of (i) the first day of the plan year beginning in 1976, or (ii)
         the effective date of the plan (or, if the Employer was a party to a
         prior plan within the meaning of Section 17, the effective date of the
         prior plan).

                 1.62.2   Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 1.62 to
         the contrary, if the Employer shall designate the elapsed time method
         of crediting hours of service in the Adoption Agreement, the number of
         whole years of the employee's period or periods of service shall be
         subject to the following special provisions:

                          (i)     All periods of service of the employee shall
                 be aggregated (including nonsuccessive periods of service),
                 and 365 days shall be deemed to equal a whole year of service.
                 Following such aggregation, any fractional year shall be
                 disregarded.

                          (ii)    To the extent not otherwise included in the
                 employee's period or periods of service, the time during which
                 an employee is on a leave of absence approved by the Employer
                 shall be included in determining his years of service.

                 1.62.3   Years of service shall include any period for which
         an employee would have been a leased employee but for the requirement
         that a leased employee perform service for the Employer, or the
         Employer and related persons determined in accordance with Section
         414(n)(6) of the Code, on a substantially full-time basis for a period
         of a least one year.

                 SECTION 2.       CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TRUST AND ALLOCATION
                                  THEREOF:

                 2.1      ELECTIVE DEFERRALS:  If elected by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement, a CODA, which satisfies the requirements of Section
401(k) of the Code, shall apply and be a part of the plan.

                 2.1.1    Administrative rules governing salary reduction
         agreements:

                          (i)     To the extent provided in the Adoption
                 Agreement, a participant may elect to make elective deferrals
                 under this plan by executing and delivering to the Committee a
                 salary reduction agreement in accordance with such rules and
                 procedures as are adopted by the Committee from time to time.
                 Elective deferrals shall be made through payroll deduction
                 pursuant to the participant's salary reduction agreement.  A
                 participant may elect to commence elective deferrals as of any
                 entry date, and such election shall remain in effect until
                 modified or terminated.  A participant shall be afforded a
                 reasonable period at such times as shall be specified by the
                 Employer in the Adoption Agreement to modify the amount or
                 frequency of his elective deferrals.  A participant may
                 terminate his election to make elective deferrals at any time
                 to be effective on the first day of the next full payroll
                 period.  If not sooner terminated, a participant's salary
                 reduction agreement shall terminate automatically as of the
                 last day of the payroll period in which the participant shall
                 terminate his service with the Employer.


                                      17
<PAGE>   69

                          (ii)    The Committee may amend or revoke a salary
                 reduction agreement with a participant at any time if the
                 Committee determines that such amendment or revocation is
                 necessary to ensure that the annual additions (as defined in
                 Section 23.5.1) to the account of a participant do not exceed
                 the annual addition limitations (described in Section 23.1.1)
                 for such participant or that the requirements of Section 2.1.4
                 are met for such plan year.

                 2.1.2    Maximum amount of elective deferrals:  A
         participant's elective deferrals are subject to any limitations
         imposed in the Adoption Agreement and any further limitations under
         the plan.  No participant shall be permitted to make elective
         deferrals under this plan during any taxable year of the participant
         in excess of the dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the
         Code in effect at the beginning of such taxable year.

                 2.1.3    Distribution of excess elective deferrals:

                          (i)     Notwithstanding any other provisions of the
                 plan, excess elective deferrals, plus any income and minus any
                 loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than
                 each April 15 to participants to whose accounts excess
                 elective deferrals were allocated for the preceding taxable
                 year and who claim excess elective deferrals for such taxable
                 year.  Excess elective deferrals shall be treated as annual
                 additions under the plan, unless such amounts are distributed
                 no later than April 15 following the close of the participant's
                 taxable year.  The participant's claim under this Section 2.1.3
                 shall be in writing; shall be submitted to the plan
                 administrator not later than March 1; shall specify the amount
                 of the participant's excess elective deferrals for the
                 preceding taxable year; and shall be accompanied by the
                 participant's written statement that if such amounts are not
                 distributed, such excess elective deferrals, when added to
                 amounts deferred under other plans or arrangements described in
                 Section 401(k), 408(k), or 403(b) of the Code, will exceed the
                 limit imposed on the participant by Section 402(g) of the Code
                 for the taxable year in which the deferral occurred.  A
                 participant is deemed to notify the plan administrator of any
                 excess elective deferrals that arise by taking into account
                 only those elective deferrals made to this plan and any other
                 plan of the Employer.  The amount of a Participant's excess
                 elective deferrals that must be distributed for a taxable year
                 pursuant to this Section shall be reduced by any Excess
                 Contributions previously distributed or recharacterized with
                 respect to the Participant for the Plan year beginning with
                 or within such taxable year.

                          (ii)    Excess elective deferrals shall be adjusted
                 for income or loss up to the date of distribution, provided
                 that the Committee may disregard income or loss allocable to
                 the period between the end of the taxable year and the date
                 such excess elective deferrals are distributed (the "gap
                 period") in determining income or loss.  The amount of income
                 or loss allocable to a participant's excess elective deferrals
                 for a taxable year shall be determined under one of the
                 following methods selected by the Committee:


                                      18
<PAGE>   70

                                  (a)      General method:  The income or loss
                          allocable to a participant's excess elective
                          deferrals for a taxable year shall be determined by
                          multiplying the income or loss allocable to the
                          participant's elective deferral account for the
                          taxable year (and the gap period, if so elected by
                          the Committee) by a fraction, the numerator of which
                          is the participant's excess elective deferrals for
                          the taxable year and the denominator is the sum of:
                          (I) the participant's elective deferral account
                          balance as of the beginning of the taxable year, 
                          plus (II) the participant's elective deferrals for 
                          the taxable year (and the gap period, if so
                          elected by the Committee);

                                  (b)      Safe harbor method:  The income or
                          loss allocable to a participant's excess elective
                          deferrals for a taxable year shall be determined by
                          adding (I) the amount determined in paragraph (a)
                          above with respect to the participant for the taxable
                          year (without regard to the gap period), plus (II)
                          the amount determined by multiplying ten percent of
                          the amount determined under "(I)" above by the number
                          of whole calendar months in the gap period, counting
                          the month of distribution if distribution occurs
                          after the 15th of such month; or

                                  (c)      Other alternative methods:  The 
                          income or loss allocable to a participant's excess 
                          elective deferrals for a taxable year (and the gap 
                          period, if so elected by the Committee) may be
                          determined by applying any reasonable method selected
                          by the Committee, provided such method is used
                          consistently for all participants and for all
                          corrective distributions under the plan for the
                          taxable year, and is used by the plan for allocating
                          income or loss to participants' accounts.

                 Notwithstanding the above, the determination of income or loss
                 attributable to a participant's excess elective deferrals
                 shall be made in all respects in accordance with Section
                 1.402(g)-1(e)(5) of the Income Tax Regulations.

                 2.1.4    Limitations on elective deferrals:

                          (i)     Actual deferral percentage:  With respect to
                 any plan year beginning on or after January 1, 1987, the ADP
                 for the group of highly compensated participants for each plan
                 year shall bear to the ADP for the group of all non-highly
                 compensated participants for the same plan year a relationship
                 that satisfies either of the following tests:

                                  (a)      The ADP for the group of highly 
                          compensated participants for the plan year is not 
                          more 


                                      19
<PAGE>   71


                          than the ADP for the group of non-highly compensated
                          participants for the same plan year multiplied by 
                          1.25; or

                                  (b)      The ADP for the group of highly
                          compensated participants for the plan year is not more
                          than the ADP for the group of non-highly compensated
                          participants for the same plan year multiplied by 2.0,
                          and the excess of the ADP for the group of highly
                          compensated participants over that of all non-highly
                          compensated participants is not more than two
                          percentage points (or such lesser amount as the
                          Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe by
                          regulation to prevent the multiple use of this
                          alternative limitation with respect to any highly     
                          compensated participant).

                          (ii)    Special rules for calculating the ADP:

                                  (a)      The ADP for any highly compensated
                          participant for the plan year who is eligible to have
                          elective deferrals (and qualified non-elective
                          contributions or qualified matching contributions, or
                          both, if treated as elective deferrals for purposes
                          of the ADP test) allocated to his account under two
                          or more arrangements described in Section 401(k) of
                          the Code that are maintained by the Employer shall be
                          determined as if such elective deferrals (and if
                          applicable, qualified matching contributions or
                          qualified non-elective contributions or both) were
                          made under a single arrangement.  If a highly
                          compensated employee participates in two or more cash
                          or deferred arrangements that have different plan
                          years, all cash or deferred arrangements ending with
                          or within the same calendar year shall be treated as
                          a single arrangement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                          certain plans shall be treated as separate if
                          mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under
                          Section 401(k) of the Code.

                              (b)          In the event that this plan 
                          satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(k), 401(a)
                          (4), or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with 
                          one or more other plans, or if one or more other 
                          plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of 
                          the Code only if aggregated with this plan, then the 
                          ADP test shall be applied by determining the actual 
                          deferral percentages of employees as if all such 
                          plans were a single plan.  For plan years beginning 
                          after December 31, 1989, plans may be aggregated in 
                          order to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code only if 
                          they have the same plan year.

<PAGE>   72
                                  (c)      For purposes of determining the ADP
                          test, elective deferrals, qualified non-elective
                          contributions, and qualified matching contributions
                          must be made before the last day of the 12-month
                          period immediately following the plan year to which
                          such contributions relate.

                                  (d)      The Employer shall maintain records
                          sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the ADP
                          test and the amount of qualified non-elective
                          contributions or qualified matching contributions, or
                          both, used in such test.

                                  (e)      Notwithstanding anything to the 

                          contrary in the plan, the determination and treatment
                          of elective deferrals and the ADP of any participant
                          shall satisfy Section 1.401(k)-1(b) of the Income Tax
                          Regulations and such other requirements as may be
                          prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

                          (iii)   Distribution of excess contributions:

                                  (a)      Notwithstanding any other provisions
                          of the plan and except as otherwise provided in
                          Section 2.1.4(iii)(e), excess contributions, plus any
                          income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be
                          distributed no later than the last day of each plan
                          year to participants to whose accounts such excess
                          contributions were allocated for the preceding plan
                          year.  If such excess amounts are distributed more
                          than two and one-half months after the last day of
                          the plan year in which such excess amounts arose, a
                          ten percent excise tax will be imposed on the
                          Employer with respect to such amounts.  Such
                          distributions shall be made to highly compensated
                          participants on the basis of the respective portions
                          of the excess contributions attributable to each
                          of such employees.  Excess contributions of
                          participants who are subject to the family member
                          aggregation rules shall be allocated among the family
                          members in proportion to the elective deferrals (and
                          amounts treated as elective deferrals) of each family
                          member that is combined to determine the combined ADP.

                                  (b)      Excess contributions (including the 
                          amounts recharacterized as employee after-tax 
                          contributions) shall be treated as annual additions 
                          under the plan.

                                  (c)      The amount of a Participant's Excess
                          Contributions to be distributed or recharacterized

                          pursuant to this Section for a Plan Year shall be
                          reduced by any Excess Elective Deferrals previously
                          distributed to the Participant for the Participant's
                          taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year.

                                  (d)      Determination of income or loss:  
                          Excess contributions shall be adjusted for income or
                          loss up to the date of distribution, provided that the
                          Committee may disregard income or loss allocable to
                          the period between the end of the plan year and the
                          date such excess contributions are distributed (the
                          "gap period") in determining income or loss.  The
                          income or loss allocable to a participant's excess
                          contributions for a plan year shall be determined
                          under one of the following methods selected by the    
                          Committee:

                                        (I)  General method:  The income or
                                  loss allocable to a participant's excess
                                  contributions for a plan year shall be
                                  determined by multiplying the income or loss
                                  allocable to the participant's account
                                  attributable to elective deferrals (and
                                  qualified non-elective contributions and/or
                                  qualified matching contributions, if any of
                                  such contributions are included in the ADP
                                  test) for the plan year (and the gap period,
                                  if so elected by the Committee) by a 
                                  fraction.  The numerator of such fraction is
                                  the participant's excess contributions for the
                                  plan year and the denominator is the sum of: 
                                  (A) the balance of the participant's account
                                  attributable to elective deferrals (and
                                  qualified non-elective contributions and/or
                                  qualified matching contributions, if any of
                                  such contributions are included in the ADP
                                  test) as of the beginning of the plan year,
                                  plus (B) the participant's elective deferrals
                                  (and qualified non-elective contributions
                                  and/or qualified matching contributions, if
                                  any of such contributions are included in the
                                  ADP test) for the plan year (and the gap
                                  period, if so elected by the Committee);

                                        (II)    Safe harbor method:  The income
                                  or loss allocable to a participant's excess
                                  contributions for a plan year shall be
                                  determined by adding 


                                      22
<PAGE>   74
                                  (A) the amount determined in subparagraph (I)
                                  above with respect to the participant for the
                                  plan year (without regard to the gap period),
                                  plus (B) the amount determined by multiplying
                                  ten percent of the amount determined under
                                  "(A)" above by the number of whole calendar
                                  months in the gap period, counting the month
                                  of distribution if distribution occurs after
                                  the 15th of such month; or

                                        (III)  Other alternative methods:  The
                                  income or loss allocable to a participant's
                                  excess contributions for a plan year (and the
                                  gap period, if so elected by the Committee)
                                  may be determined by applying any reasonable
                                  method for computing the income or loss
                                  allocable to excess contributions, provided
                                  such method is used consistently for all
                                  participants and for all corrective
                                  distributions under the plan for the plan
                                  year, and is used by the plan for allocating
                                  income or loss to participants' accounts.

                          Notwithstanding the above, the determination of
                          income or loss attributable to a participant's excess
                          contributions shall be made in all respects in
                          accordance with Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(4) of the
                          Income Tax Regulations.

                                  (d)      Accounting for excess contributions:
                          Unless otherwise prescribed by the Committee, amounts
                          distributed under Section 2.1.4(iii) shall first be
                          treated as distributions from the participant's
                          elective deferral account and qualified matching
                          contribution account (if applicable) in proportion to
                          the participant's elective deferrals and qualified
                          matching contributions (to the extent used in the ADP
                          test) for the plan year.  Excess contributions shall
                          be distributed from the participant's qualified
                          non-elective contribution account only to the extent
                          that such excess contributions exceed the balance in
                          the participant's elective deferral account and
                          qualified matching contribution account.

                                  (e)      Recharacterization:  If the Employer
                          elects in the Adoption Agreement to allow employee
                          after-tax contributions, the Employer may treat a
                          participant's excess contributions (without
                          adjustment for 


                                      23
<PAGE>   75

                          income or loss allocable thereto) as an amount
                          distributed to the participant and then contributed by
                          the participant to the plan. Recharacterized amounts
                          will remain allocated to a participant's elective
                          deferral account, together with any earnings allocated
                          to such recharacterized amounts, and will continue to
                          be subject to the same distribution requirements as
                          elective deferrals. Amounts may not be recharacterized
                          by a highly compensated participant to the extent that
                          such amounts in combination with other employee
                          after-tax contributions made by that employee would
                          exceed any stated limit under the plan for employee
                          after-tax contributions. Recharacterization must occur
                          no later than two and one-half months after the last
                          day of the plan year in which such excess
                          contributions arose and is deemed to occur no earlier
                          than the date the last highly compensated participant
                          is informed in writing of the amount recharacterized
                          and the consequences thereof.  Recharacterized amounts
                          will be taxable to the participant for the
                          participant's taxable year in which the participant
                          would have received them in cash.

                 2.1.5    Qualified non-elective contributions:  In lieu of
         distributing or recharacterizing excess contributions as provided in
         Section 2.1.4 above, the Employer shall be authorized to make such
         qualified non-elective contributions on behalf of those employees
         designated in the Adoption Agreement as shall be needed to satisfy the
         ADP test described in Section 2.1.4(i) of the plan or the ACP test
         described in Section 2.3.6(i) of the plan, or both, pursuant to the
         Income Tax Regulations.  Qualified non-elective contributions may be
         treated as elective deferrals under the ADP test only if the
         conditions described in Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(5) of the Income Tax
         Regulations are satisfied.

                 2.1.6    Separate accounts:  The Committee shall maintain a
         separate account, designated as the participant's "elective deferral
         account," with respect to that portion of the participant's accrued
         benefit that is attributable to elective deferrals.  The Committee
         shall maintain a separate account, designated as the participant's
         "qualified non-elective contribution account," with respect to that
         portion of the participant's accrued benefit that is attributable to
         qualified non-elective contributions.  Each separate account shall be
         credited with the applicable contributions, earnings and losses,
         distributions, and other adjustments in the manner provided in Section
         7.

                 2.1.7    Vesting:  A participant's elective deferral account
         and qualified non-elective contribution account shall be
         nonforfeitable at all times.

                 2.1.8    Allocation of elective deferral and qualified
         non-elective contributions:  The Employer shall contribute and
         allocate to each participant's elective deferral account on each
         adjustment date an amount equal to the amount of the participant's
         elective deferrals made pursuant to his salary reduction agreement
         since the preceding adjustment date.  Qualified non-elective
         contributions shall be allocated to the accounts of those employees
         designated in the Adoption Agreement in the manner elected by the
         Employer 


                                      24
<PAGE>   76

         in the Adoption Agreement.  Under no circumstances may elective 
         deferrals be contributed and allocated to the trust under the plan
         later than 30 days after the close of the plan year for which the
         contributions are deemed to be made, or such other time as provided in
         applicable Income Tax Regulations.  Qualified non-elective
         contributions must actually be paid to the trust no later than the end
         of the 12-month period immediately following the plan year with
         respect to which the contribution is allocated.

                 2.2      EMPLOYEE AFTER-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS:

                 2.2.1    Employee after-tax contributions:  If the Employer so
         specifies in the Adoption Agreement, each participant may at his
         option make employee after-tax contributions to the plan in the form
         of cash through payroll deduction, subject to such limitations and
         requirements as shall be determined by the Committee.  The Employer
         shall deliver such contributions to the Trustee as soon as practicable
         following each payroll date, along with a designation of the
         participants to whose employee after-tax contribution accounts the
         contributions are to be credited and such other information as the
         Trustee shall reasonably require.   Employee after-tax contributions
         made with respect to plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1987
         must comply with the average contribution percentage test described in
         Section 401(m) of the Code.

                 2.2.2    Administrative rules governing employee after-tax
         contributions:

                          (i)     A participant may elect to commence employee
                 after-tax contributions as of any entry date specified by the
                 Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  A participant's election
                 to commence employee after-tax contributions shall remain in
                 effect until modified or terminated.  A participant shall be
                 afforded a reasonable period at such times as shall be
                 specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement to modify
                 the amount or frequency of his employee after-tax
                 contributions.  A participant may terminate his election to
                 make employee after-tax contributions at any time to be
                 effective on the first day of the next full payroll period.
                 If not sooner terminated, a participant's election to make
                 employee after-tax contributions shall terminate automatically
                 as of the last day of the payroll period in which the
                 participant shall terminate his service with the Employer.

                          (ii)    The Committee may amend or revoke a 
                 participant's election to make employee after-tax contributions
                 at any time if the Committee determines that such amendment or
                 revocation is necessary to ensure that the annual additions (as
                 defined in Section 23.5.1) to the account of a participant do
                 not exceed the annual addition limitations (described in
                 Section 23.1.1) for such participant or that the requirements  
                 of Section 2.3.6 are met for such plan year.  

                 2.2.3    Separate accounts:  The Committee shall maintain a
         separate account, designated as the participant's "employee after-tax
         contribution account," with respect to that portion of a participant's
         accrued benefit that is attributable to his employee after-tax
         contributions.  The employee after-tax contribution account of a
         participant shall be credited with the participant's employee
         after-tax contributions, earnings and losses, distributions, and
         adjustments in the manner provided in Section 7.  In no event shall
         any 


                                      25
<PAGE>   77
         forfeiture under the plan be allocated to the participant's            
         employee after-tax contribution account.

                 2.2.4    Vesting:  The employee after-tax contribution account
         of each participant shall be nonforfeitable at all times.

                 2.3      MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS:

                 2.3.1    Matching contributions:  If elected by the Employer
         in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer shall make matching
         contributions to the plan in cash and/or shares of Employer stock, if
         the Employer shall elect in the Adoption Agreement to permit plan
         assets to be invested in Employer stock.  The amount of such matching
         contributions shall be calculated by reference to the participant's
         elective deferrals and/or employee after-tax contributions as
         specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.

                 2.3.2    Qualified matching contributions:  The Employer shall
         be authorized to make such qualified matching contributions to the
         accounts of those employees designated in the Adoption Agreement as
         shall be needed to satisfy the ADP test described in Section 2.1.4 of
         the plan.  The amount of such qualified matching contributions to be
         taken into account for the ADP test shall be determined each plan year
         by the Employer.  Qualified matching contributions may be treated as
         elective deferrals under the ADP test only if the conditions described
         in Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(5) of the Income Tax Regulations are
         satisfied.

                 2.3.3    Separate accounts:  The Committee shall maintain a
         separate account, designated as the participant's "matching
         contribution account," with respect to that portion of a participant's
         accrued benefit that is attributable to matching contributions.  If
         all matching contributions made by the Employer do not satisfy the
         requirements of qualified matching contributions, then the Committee
         shall maintain a separate account, designated as the participant's
         "qualified matching contribution account," with respect to that
         portion of the participant's accrued benefit that is attributable to
         qualified matching contributions.  Each separate account shall be
         credited with the applicable contributions, earnings and losses, 
         distributions, and other adjustments in the manner provided in 
         Section 7.

                 2.3.4    Vesting:  Matching contributions shall be vested in
         accordance with the Employer's election in the Adoption Agreement.  In
         any event, matching contributions shall be nonforfeitable upon the
         occurrence of an event described in Section 5.1.  A participant's
         qualified matching contribution account shall be nonforfeitable at all
         times.

                 2.3.5    Forfeitures of matching contributions:  Forfeitures
         of matching contributions other than excess aggregate contributions
         shall be made in accordance with the forfeiture provisions elected by
         the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision
         in the plan to the contrary, if all or part of a participant's
         elective deferrals or employee after-tax contributions is treated as
         an excess elective deferral, an excess contribution, or an excess
         aggregate contribution, any matching contribution made with respect to
         such elective deferral or employee after-tax contribution, as
         appropriate, adjusted for income and losses allocable thereto, and
         which is not distributed or forfeited in order to enable the plan to
         comply with the ACP test in 


                                      26

         Section 2.3.6, shall be forfeited by the participant on or before the
         March 15 next following the end of the plan year for which the matching
         contribution was made (the "forfeiture date").  The income or loss
         allocable to the forfeited matching contribution for the plan year of
         such matching contribution shall be determined in the same manner as
         for excess aggregate contributions under Section 2.3.6.

                 2.3.6    Limitations on matching contributions and employee
         after-tax contributions:

                          (i)     Average contribution percentage:  With
                 respect to any plan year beginning on or after January 1,
                 1987, the ACP for the group of highly compensated participants
                 for each plan year shall bear to the ACP for the group of all
                 non-highly compensated participants for the same plan year a
                 relationship that satisfies either of the following tests:

                                  (a)      The ACP for the group of highly
                          compensated participants for the plan year is not more
                          than the ACP for the group of all non-highly
                          compensated participants for the same plan year       
                          multiplied by 1.25; or

                                  (b)      The ACP for the group of highly
                          compensated participants for the plan year is not more
                          than the ACP for the group of all non-highly
                          compensated participants for the plan year multiplied
                          by 2.0, and the excess of the ACP for highly
                          compensated participants over that of all non-highly
                          compensated participants is not more than two
                          percentage points (or such lesser amount as the
                          Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe by
                          regulations to prevent the multiple use of this
                          alternative limitation with respect to any highly
                          compensated participant).

                          (ii)    Special rules for calculating the ACP:

                                  (a)      The following rules shall be applied
                          to prevent the multiple use of the alternative
                          limitation (as defined Section 1.402(m)-2 of the
                          Income Tax Regulations) with respect to any plan
                          year.  If one or more highly compensated participants
                          participate in both a CODA and a plan subject to the
                          ACP test maintained by the Employer, and the sum of
                          the ADP and ACP of those highly compensated employees
                          subject to either or both tests exceeds the aggregate
                          limit, then the ACP of those highly compensated
                          participants who also participate in a CODA will be
                          reduced (beginning with the highly compensated
                          employee whose ACP is the highest) so that the limit
                          is not exceeded.  The amount by which each highly
                          compensated participant's contribution percentage
                          amount is reduced shall be treated as an excess
                          aggregate contribution.  The ADP 


                                      27
<PAGE>   79


                          and ACP of the highly compensated participants are
                          determined after any corrections required to meet the
                          ADP and ACP tests.  Multiple use of the alternative
                          limitation does not occur if both the ADP and ACP of
                          the highly compensated participants do not exceed 1.25
                          multiplied by the ADP and ACP of the group of 
                          non-highly compensated participants.

                                  (b)      For purposes of this Section 2.3.6,
                          the contribution percentage for any highly
                          compensated participant who is eligible to have
                          contribution percentage amounts allocated to his
                          account under two or more plans described in Section
                          401(a) of the Code, or arrangements described in
                          Section 401(k) of the Code, that are maintained by
                          the Employer, shall be determined as if the total of
                          such contribution percentage amounts was made under
                          each plan.  If a highly compensated employee 
                          participates in two or more cash or deferred
                          arrangements that have different plan years, all cash
                          or deferred arrangements ending with or within the
                          same calendar year shall be treated as the same
                          arrangement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain
                          plans shall be treated as separate if mandatorily     
                          disaggregated under regulations under Section 401(m)  
                          of the Code.

                                  (c)      In the event that this plan
                          satisfies the requirements of Section 401(m),
                          401(a)(4), or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated
                          with one or more other plans, or if one or more other
                          plans satisfy the requirements of such Sections of
                          the Code only if aggregated with this plan, then the
                          ACP test shall be applied by determining the
                          contribution percentages of participants as if all
                          such plans were a single plan.  For plan years
                          beginning after December 31, 1989, plans may be
                          aggregated in order to satisfy Section 401(m) of the
                          Code only if they have the same plan year.

                                  (d)      For purposes of the ACP test,
                          employee after-tax contributions are considered to
                          have been made in the plan year in which contributed
                          to the trust.  Matching contributions and qualified
                          non-elective contributions will be considered made
                          for a plan year if made no later than the end of the
                          12-month period beginning on the day after the close
                          of the plan year.

                                  (e)      The Sponsor shall maintain records
                          that enable it (i) to monitor the Employer's
                          compliance with the requirements of Section 401(m) of
                          the Code, (ii) to perform the ACP test for the
                          Employer for the plan 


                                      28

                          year, and (iii) to notify the Employer if it is
                          required to correct any excess aggregate
                          contributions.

                                  (f)      Notwithstanding anything to the
                          contrary in the plan, the determination and treatment
                          of employee after-tax contributions and matching
                          contributions and the contribution percentage of any
                          participant shall satisfy Section 1.401(m)-1(b) of 
                          the Income Tax Regulations and such other 
                          requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of
                          the Treasury.

                          (iii)   Distribution of excess aggregate 
                 contributions:

                                  (a)      General rule:  Notwithstanding any
                          other provision of this plan, excess aggregate
                          contributions, plus any income and minus any loss
                          allocable thereto, shall be forfeited, if
                          forfeitable, or if not forfeitable, distributed no
                          later than the last day of each plan year to
                          participants to whose accounts such excess aggregate
                          contributions were allocated for the preceding plan
                          year.  Excess aggregate contributions of participants
                          who are subject to the family member aggregation
                          rules shall be allocated among the family members in
                          proportion to the contribution percentage amount of
                          each family member that is combined to determine the
                          combined ACP.  If such excess aggregate contributions
                          are distributed more than two and one-half months
                          after the last day of the plan year in which such
                          excess amounts arose, a ten percent excise tax will
                          be imposed on the Employer maintaining the plan with
                          respect to those amounts.  Excess aggregate
                          contributions shall be treated as annual additions
                          under the plan.  The distribution (or forfeiture, if
                          applicable) of excess aggregate contributions shall
                          be made on the basis of the respective portions of
                          such amounts attributable to each highly compensated
                          employee.

                                  (b)      Determination of income or loss:
                          Excess aggregate contributions shall be adjusted for
                          income or loss up to the date of distribution,
                          provided that the Committee may disregard income or
                          loss allocable to the period between the end of the
                          plan year and the date such excess aggregate
                          contributions are distributed in determining income
                          or loss (the "gap period").  The income or loss
                          allocable to a participant's excess aggregate
                          contributions for a plan year shall be determined
                          under one of the following methods selected by the
                          Committee:


                                      29
<PAGE>   81


                                        (I)     General method:  The income or
                                  loss allocable to a participant's excess
                                  aggregate contributions for a plan year shall
                                  be determined by multiplying the income or
                                  loss allocable to the participant's account
                                  attributable to contribution percentage
                                  amounts for the plan year (and the gap
                                  period, if so elected by the Committee) by a
                                  fraction.  The numerator of such fraction is
                                  the participant's excess aggregate
                                  contributions for the plan year and the
                                  denominator is the sum of:  (A) the balance
                                  of the participant's account attributable to
                                  the contribution percentage amounts as of the
                                  beginning of the plan year, plus (B) the
                                  participant's contribution percentage amounts
                                  for the plan year (and the gap period, if so
                                  elected by the Committee);

                                        (II)    Safe harbor method:  The income
                                  or loss allocable to a participant's excess
                                  aggregate contribution for a plan year shall
                                  be determined by adding (A) the amount
                                  determined in subparagraph (I) above with
                                  respect to the participant for the plan year
                                  (without regard to the gap period), plus (B)
                                  the amount determined by multiplying ten
                                  percent of the amount determined under "(A)"
                                  above by the number of whole calendar months
                                  in the gap period, counting the month of
                                  distribution if distribution occurs after the
                                  15th of such month; or

                                        (III)   Other alternative methods:  
                                  The income or loss allocable to a
                                  participant's excess aggregate contribution
                                  for a plan year (and the gap period, if so
                                  elected by the Committee) may be determined by
                                  applying any reasonable method for computing
                                  the income or loss allocable to excess
                                  aggregate contributions, provided such method
                                  is used consistently for all participants and

                                  distributions under the plan for the plan 
                                  year, and is used by the plan for allocating
                                  income or loss to participants' accounts.

                          Notwithstanding the above, the determination of
                          income or loss attributable to a participant's excess
                          aggregate contributions shall be made in all respects
                          in accordance with Section 1.401(m)-1(e)(3) of the
                          Income Tax Regulations.

                                  (c)      Treatment of forfeitures of excess
                          aggregate contributions:  Forfeitures of excess
                          aggregate contributions shall be treated in the same
                          manner as elected by the Employer in the Adoption
                          Agreement with respect to forfeitures of matching
                          contributions, except that if such forfeitures are
                          reallocated, they shall only be reallocated among the
                          accounts of non-highly compensated participants.
                          Amounts forfeited by highly compensated participants
                          under this Section 2.3 shall be treated as annual
                          additions under the plan.

                                  (d)      Accounting for excess aggregate
                          contributions: Unless otherwise prescribed by the
                          Committee, excess aggregate contributions shall be
                          forfeited, if forfeitable, or distributed on a pro
                          rata basis from the participant's employee after-tax
                          contribution account, matching contribution account,
                          and qualified matching contribution account (and, if
                          applicable, the participant's qualified non-elective
                          contribution account or elective deferral account, or
                          both).

                                  (e)      Order of determination:  The
                          determination of the excess aggregate contributions
                          shall be made after first determining the excess
                          elective deferrals, and then determining the excess
                          contributions under the plan.

                 2.4.     DISCRETIONARY EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS:  The Employer
shall contribute to the trust for the taxable year of the Employer that ends
with or within the plan year such amount as provided in the Adoption Agreement.
Discretionary Employer contributions may be made in cash and/or shares of
Employer stock, if the Employer shall elect in the Adoption Agreement to permit
plan assets to be invested in Employer stock.  The Committee shall maintain a
separate account, designated as the participant's "discretionary Employer
contribution account," with respect to that portion of the participant's
accrued benefit that is attributable to discretionary Employer contributions
under the plan.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 22 and 23, any
discretionary Employer contribution shall be allocated as of each adjustment
date as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  The discretionary
Employer contribution account shall be vested in accordance with the Employer's
election in the Adoption Agreement, and adjusted as of each adjustment date in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.

                 2.5      VOLUNTARY DEDUCTIBLE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS:  A
participant may not make voluntary deductible employee contributions to the
plan with respect to his taxable years beginning after December 31, 1986.  The
Committee shall maintain a separate account, designated as the participant's
"deductible contribution account," with respect to each participant who had
made such voluntary deductible employee contributions under a predecessor plan
prior to January 1, 1987.  The deductible contribution account of each
participant shall be nonforfeitable and shall be adjusted as of each adjustment
date in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.  In no event shall any
forfeiture under the plan be allocated to the participant's deductible
contribution account.  Assets in the participant's deductible contribution
account may be commingled for investment with other funds of the trust.

                 2.6      MANDATORY EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS:  A participant
shall not be required to make contributions to the trust for any plan year
beginning on or after the effective date of the plan.  The Committee shall
maintain a separate account, designated as the participant's "mandatory
contribution account," with respect to each participant having made mandatory
contributions under a predecessor plan.  The mandatory contribution account of
each participant shall be nonforfeitable and shall be adjusted as of each
adjustment date in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.  In no event
shall any forfeiture under the plan be allocated to the participant's mandatory
contribution account.  Assets in the participant's mandatory contribution
account may be commingled for investment with other funds of the trust.

                 2.7      MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION PERMITTED:  In no event shall
the total contribution made under this Section 2 for any plan year exceed the
maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes by the Employer for
the taxable year.  Each contribution to the plan shall be made conditional upon
being deductible under Section 404 of the Code and upon the plan being
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code for the plan year for which such
contribution is made.

                 2.8      REQUIREMENT OF CURRENT OR ACCUMULATED NET PROFITS:
Elective deferrals, qualified non-elective contributions, matching
contributions, and qualified matching contributions shall be made by the
Employer to the plan without regard to the current or accumulated net profits
of the Employer.  If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement,
discretionary Employer contributions may be made pursuant to Section 2.4
without regard to the current or accumulated net profits of the Employer.

                 SECTION 3.       RETIREMENT; TERMINATION OF SERVICE; DEATH;
                                  ENTRY OF QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER:

                 3.1      NORMAL RETIREMENT:  A participant who is in service
may retire from service at his normal retirement date.

                 3.2      EARLY RETIREMENT:  If so specified by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement, and subject to the requirements for early retirement
set forth therein, a participant may elect early retirement effective as of any
adjustment date prior to his normal retirement date by filing written notice
with the Committee on or before such adjustment date.  Such election shall be
irrevocable when filed.

                 3.3      DELAYED RETIREMENT:  If a participant shall remain in
service following his normal retirement date, his retirement date shall be the
date he shall actually retire.  During the period that such participant remains
in service pursuant to this Section 3.3, he shall continue to participate for
and including each plan year in which he meets the requirements therefor.  If
an employee not otherwise a participant becomes eligible to enter the plan
following his normal retirement date, the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall
apply in determining his retirement date.


                                      32
<PAGE>   84

                 3.4      DEATH:  If a participant dies, his vested accrued
benefit shall be paid to his beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of Section
4.2.

                 3.5      DISABILITY:  If a participant suffers disability
while in service, he may elect to retire as of any adjustment date following
the establishment of his disability by filing written notice with the Committee
on or before such adjustment date.  Such election shall be irrevocable when
filed.

                 3.6      TERMINATION OF SERVICE:  The following provisions
shall apply in the event a participant terminates service before he is eligible
to retire under the plan:

                 3.6.1    Distribution election:  Such participant may elect to
         receive a distribution of his vested accrued benefit as of the
         termination adjustment date specified in the Adoption Agreement, or to
         defer such distribution until a later date provided in this Section
         3.6.  The Committee shall notify the participant of his rights under
         this Section 3.6.1 at least 30 days, but in no event more than 90
         days, prior to the termination adjustment date.  Such notification
         shall include a general description of the material features and an
         explanation of the relative values of the optional forms of benefit
         available under the plan.  The participant's election shall be
         submitted in writing to the Committee on or before the participant's
         termination adjustment date.  Such election shall be irrevocable when
         filed, except that the election shall be disregarded if the participant
         is in service when benefit payments are to commence.  If the
         participant elects to receive a distribution of his vested accrued
         benefit as of the termination adjustment date, the manner of
         distribution shall be determined under Section 4.1 as if the
         termination adjustment date were the normal retirement date of the
         participant.  The Committee shall advise each participant that the
         taxable portion of his distribution may be subject to mandatory 20%
         federal income tax withholding, unless the participant elects to make a
         direct transfer of the taxable portion of such distribution to another
         qualified retirement plan or individual retirement arrangement in
         accordance with Section 19.2.  In addition, if a distribution is made
         to a participant pursuant to Section 4.1 before he attains age 55, the
         Committee shall advise him that the taxable portion of the     
         distribution may be subject to an additional ten percent income tax.

                 3.6.2    Deferred distribution election:  If the participant
         has elected not to receive his vested accrued benefit pursuant to
         Section 3.6.1, he may elect to receive his vested accrued benefit as
         of the adjustment date coincident with or next following the date on
         which he satisfies the age requirement for early retirement (the
         "early retirement adjustment date").  This Section 3.6.2 shall only
         apply if the plan permits early retirement and the participant has
         satisfied any service requirement but not the age requirement therefor
         at the time of his termination from service.  The Committee shall
         notify such participant of his rights under this Section 3.6.2, and
         the participant shall make the election provided in this Section
         3.6.2, at the time and in the manner described in Section 3.6.1,
         treating for this purpose the early retirement adjustment date as if
         it were the termination adjustment date.

                 3.6.3    Distribution in the absence of an election:  If the
         vested accrued benefit of the participant is not distributed pursuant
         to Section 3.6.1, it shall be held under the plan for future payment
         until the first to occur of:  (i) his death; (ii) his election to
         receive his vested accrued benefit as of his early retirement
         adjustment date pursuant to Section 3.6.2; or (iii) the later of his
         normal retirement age or age 62, whereupon it shall be distributed to
         him or his beneficiary, as the case may be, in the manner provided in


                                      33
<PAGE>   85

         Section 4.  If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the
         amount of the vested accrued benefit which shall be held for the
         participant under this Section 3.6.3 shall be set aside in a special
         account (the "deferred payment account").  The Trustee shall segregate
         the deferred payment account from the general assets of the trust as
         of the participant's termination adjustment date.  The deferred
         payment account shall be invested by the Trustee in short-term,
         interest-bearing securities or certificates which may be readily
         converted to cash without penalty, and which provide for maximum 
         safety of principal (the "conservative investments").  The deferred
         payment account shall be subject to adjustment as of each adjustment
         date in the manner specified in the applicable provisions of Section 7,
         treating for this purpose the assets in which the deferred payment
         account are invested as if they composed the entire trust fund.  If a
         deferred payment account is established pursuant to this Section 3.6.3
         and the Trustee maintains directed investment funds (as defined in
         Section 8.1.1), in lieu of investing the deferred payment account in
         the conservative investments, at the direction of the Committee the
         deferred payment account may be invested by the Trustee in the most
         conservative directed investment fund as designated by the Committee
         and adjusted in the manner provided in Section 8.1.2.  Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, if the Employer has authorized participant directed
         investments under the plan, only that portion of the terminated
         participant's vested accrued benefit which is not credited to his
         directed separate accounts (as defined in Section 8.1) as of his
         termination adjustment date, if any, shall be transferred to a deferred
         payment account and invested in the manner provided in this Section
         3.6.3.  If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, such
         terminated participant may be permitted to continue to direct the
         investment of his directed separate accounts in accordance with Section
         8, until his vested accrued benefit is paid to him or his beneficiary
         in full as provided in this Section 3.6.3.  If a participant is not
         permitted to direct the investment of his directed separate accounts
         following his termination of service, the amounts credited to the
         participant's directed separate accounts will be transferred as of his
         termination adjustment date to the most conservative directed
         investment fund designated by the Committee.

                 3.7      CASH-OUT DISTRIBUTIONS:  Notwithstanding any other
provision of the plan, if the vested accrued benefit of a participant does not
exceed $3,500 as of the adjustment date coincident with or next following the
date of his termination of service for any reason, including death, and such
vested accrued benefit has never exceeded $3,500 as of the date of any prior
distribution under the plan, then his vested accrued benefit shall be
automatically paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible after
such adjustment date to the person entitled thereto without regard to any
election made by the participant and without the consent of the participant or
the participant's spouse.  For purposes of this Section 3.7, if the value of a
participant's vested accrued benefit is zero, the participant shall be deemed
to have received distribution of such vested accrued benefit.  The Committee
shall advise each participant that the taxable portion of his cash-out
distribution may be subject to mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding,
unless the participant elects to make a direct transfer of the taxable portion
of such distribution to another qualified retirement plan or individual
retirement arrangement in accordance with Section 19.2.  In addition, if a
distribution is made to a participant before he attains age 59 1/2, the
Committee shall advise him that the taxable portion of the distribution may be
subject to an additional ten percent income tax.

                 3.8      LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS:  Except as
provided in the Adoption Agreement, elective deferrals, qualified non-elective
contributions, qualified matching contributions, and income allocable thereto
are not distributable to the participant, or the participant's beneficiary,
earlier than upon separation from service, death, or disability of the
participant.

<PAGE>   86
                 3.9      ENTRY OF A QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER:  If
the participant's accrued benefit becomes subject to a qualified domestic
relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code, the alternate
payee's benefit shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.5.

         SECTION 4.       PAYMENT OF BENEFITS:

                 4.1      DISTRIBUTION OF ACCRUED BENEFITS:  Subject to the
provisions of Section 9 relating to the distribution of Employer stock, the
following provisions of this Section 4 shall apply to any distribution of a
participant's accrued benefit under the plan:

                 4.1.1    Payment of benefits following retirement:  A
         participant may elect to have the value of his vested accrued benefit
         determined as of the close of business of the plan on the adjustment
         date coincident with or next following the date he retires pursuant to
         Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, or 3.5, or as of such later adjustment date as
         he may elect pursuant to Section 4.1.2, and to have such amount paid
         to him, or applied for his benefit, in one of the following options,
         as designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement:

                          (i)     Term certain:  Subject to the provisions of
                 Section 4.1.2, payment of the vested accrued benefit to him in
                 approximately equal monthly installments over a whole number
                 of years not exceeding the life expectancy of the participant
                 or the joint life expectancy of the participant and his
                 designated beneficiary, provided that, if this plan is not an
                 amendment of a prior plan and is not the transferee of assets
                 from another plan maintained by the Employer, the maximum
                 number of years over which installment distributions will be
                 made under the plan shall be ten.

                          (ii)    Lump sum:  Payment of the vested accrued
                 benefit to him in a single lump sum.

                 4.1.2    Special distribution rules:  In applying the
         foregoing provisions of Section 4.1.1, the following special
         provisions shall apply:

                          (i)     Any election of a distribution option
                 described in Section 4.1.1 shall be made in writing on a form
                 to be provided by the Committee and filed with the Committee
                 on or before the adjustment date as of which payment is to
                 commence.  Such election shall be irrevocable on or after such
                 adjustment date (except as otherwise provided in paragraph (v)
                 of this Section 4.1.2).  If a participant shall fail to
                 designate one of the distribution options described in Section
                 4.1.1, his vested accrued benefit shall be paid to him in a
                 single lump sum.

                          (ii)    Any distribution made pursuant to Section
                 4.1.1 shall commence as soon as practicable following the
                 adjustment date as of which the participant's vested accrued
                 benefit is determined.  A participant must be informed of his
                 right to defer the commencement of the distribution of his
                 vested accrued benefit to any adjustment date following his
                 retirement.  Prior to any adjustment date elected by a


                                       35
<PAGE>   87

                 participant, such participant may elect to defer commencement
                 thereof to a subsequent adjustment date.  Such election shall
                 be filed in writing with the Committee prior to the adjustment
                 date as of which his benefit would otherwise commence.  Such
                 election may be revoked or changed as of any adjustment date
                 between the date filed and the adjustment date to which the
                 vested accrued benefit is deferred by filing a written
                 revocation or change with the Committee prior to the
                 adjustment date as of which the revocation or change is to be
                 effective.  If a participant shall fail to designate an
                 adjustment date as of which the distribution of his vested
                 accrued benefit shall begin, he shall be deemed to have
                 elected to defer such distribution until the adjustment date
                 coincident with or immediately following the later of (a) his
                 attainment of his normal retirement age or (b) his termination
                 of service.  Notwithstanding any such election (or deemed
                 election) to defer the distribution of his vested accrued
                 benefit, a participant's vested accrued benefit must be
                 distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than his
                 required beginning date (as defined in Section 4.4.6) in one
                 of the distribution options described in Section 4.1.1, as
                 elected by the participant.

                          (iii)   Unless a participant shall elect to defer the
                 commencement of payment of his vested accrued benefit, such
                 payment must commence within 60 days following the last
                 adjustment date for the plan year in which occurs the latest
                 of:  (a) the participant's attainment of age 65 (or normal
                 retirement age, if earlier); (b) the tenth anniversary of the
                 year in which the participant commenced participation in the
                 plan; or (c) the participant's retirement or termination of
                 service for any other reason.  In the event that, within the
                 applicable 60-day period, the amount of the payment to
                 commence cannot be determined or the recipient thereof cannot
                 be located after a reasonable effort has been made to locate
                 him, payments retroactive to the close of such 60-day period
                 shall be made within 60 days after the amount has been
                 determined or the recipient has been located, whichever shall
                 be applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of
                 a participant to elect to receive a distribution under
                 Sections 3.6.1 or 3.6.2 shall be deemed to be an election to
                 defer commencement of payment sufficient to satisfy the
                 requirements of this paragraph (iii).

                          (iv)    If a participant's vested accrued benefit is
                 to be distributed pursuant to the term certain option
                 described in Section 4.1.1(i), each annual distribution made
                 pursuant to such option must satisfy the following
                 requirements:

                                  (a)      The amount required to be
                          distributed for each calendar year, beginning with
                          the first distribution calendar year (as defined in
                          Section 4.4.3), must at least equal the quotient
                          obtained by dividing the participant's benefit (as
                          defined in Section 4.4.5) by the applicable life
                          expectancy (as defined in Section 4.4.1).

                                  (b)      For calendar years beginning before
                          January 1, 1989, if the participant's spouse is not
                          the designated beneficiary (as defined in Section
                          4.4.2), the term certain option elected must assure
                          that at least 50% of the present value of the amount
                          available for distribution is paid within the life
                          expectancy of the participant.

                                  (c)      For calendar years beginning after
                          December 31, 1988, the amount to be distributed each
                          year, beginning with the distribution for the first
                          distribution calendar year shall not be less than the
                          quotient obtained by dividing the participant's
                          benefit by the lesser of the applicable life
                          expectancy or, if the participant's spouse is not the
                          designated beneficiary, the applicable divisor
                          determined from the table set forth in Q&A-4 of
                          Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Income Tax Regulations.
                          Distributions after the death of the participant
                          shall be distributed using the applicable life
                          expectancy determined for purposes of subparagraph
                          (a) above as the relevant divisor without regard to
                          Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Income Tax Regulations.

                                  (d)      The minimum distribution required
                          for the participant's first distribution calendar
                          year must be made on or before the participant's
                          required beginning date.  The minimum distributions
                          for other calendar years, including the minimum
                          distributions for the distribution calendar year in
                          which the participant's required beginning date
                          occurs, must be made on or before December 31 of that
                          distribution calendar year.

                          (v)     Upon a written direction to the Committee
                 prior to any adjustment date by a participant who is receiving
                 benefit payments pursuant to the term certain option described
                 in Section 4.1.1(i), the participant may direct that the
                 balance of the participant's vested accrued benefit be paid in
                 a single lump sum payment as of the adjustment date such
                 written direction becomes effective.  If a participant marries
                 or remarries following the adjustment date as of which
                 payments commenced under Section 4.1.1(i), his "spouse" for
                 purposes of Section 4.2 shall mean the spouse on such
                 adjustment date.

                          (vi)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
                 this Section 4.1, if a participant who is receiving benefit
                 payments pursuant to the term certain option described in
                 Section 4.1.1(i) shall reenter service prior to his normal
                 retirement date, such payments shall cease during the period
                 that he is in service.  When he subsequently retires, dies, or
                 otherwise terminates service, his then vested accrued benefit
                 shall be payable to or with respect to him pursuant to the
                 applicable provisions


                                       37

                 of the plan; provided, however, that payments must recommence
                 no later than the participant's required beginning date.

                 4.2      PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFITS:

                 4.2.1    Payment of death benefits restricted to lump sums:
         This Section 4.2.1 shall only apply if this plan is (i) a newly
         adopted plan, or (ii) an amendment of a prior plan of the Employer or
         the transferee of assets from another plan maintained by the Employer
         that did not permit the distribution of death benefits in any form
         other than a single lump sum.  Upon the death of a participant before
         or after the distribution of his vested accrued benefit has begun, the
         value of the remaining portion of such benefit shall be determined as
         of the adjustment date coincident with or next following the date of
         the participant's death, and such amount shall be distributed to his
         designated beneficiary (as defined in Section 4.2.2(iii)) in a single
         lump sum as soon as practicable following such adjustment date.

                 4.2.2.   Payment of death benefits for amended plans:  This
         Section 4.2.2 shall apply if this plan amends a prior plan of the
         Employer or is the transferee of assets from another plan maintained
         by the Employer and either such prior or transferee plan permitted the
         distribution of death benefits in forms other than a single lump sum.
         Upon the death of the participant, the following provisions shall
         apply:

                          (i)     If the participant dies after distribution of
                 his vested accrued benefit has begun, the remaining portion of
                 such benefit shall be distributed to his designated
                 beneficiary at least as rapidly as under the method of
                 distribution in effect at his death.  Should the beneficiary
                 die before receiving all the payments due him, any remaining
                 payment shall continue to the recipient determined in
                 accordance with Section 4.2.2(iii).

                          (ii)    If the participant dies before distribution
                 of his vested accrued benefit begins, the participant's vested
                 accrued benefit must be distributed no later than December 31
                 of the calendar year in which occurs the fifth anniversary of
                 the participant's death, except to the extent that an election
                 is made to receive distributions under (a) or (b), as follows:

                                  (a)      If any portion of the participant's
                          vested accrued benefit is payable to a designated
                          beneficiary, distributions may be made in
                          substantially equal installments over the life or
                          over a term certain not greater than the life
                          expectancy of the designated beneficiary commencing
                          on or before December 31 of the calendar year
                          immediately following the calendar year in which the
                          participant died.

                                  (b)      If the designated beneficiary is the
                          participant's surviving spouse, the date
                          distributions are required to begin in accordance
                          with (a) above shall not be before the later of
                          December 31 of the calendar year


                                       38

                          immediately following the calendar year in which the
                          participant died, or December 31 of the calendar year
                          in which the participant would have attained age 70
                          1/2.

                 If the surviving spouse dies before payments begin, subsequent
                 distributions shall be made pursuant to this paragraph (ii)
                 (except for subparagraph (b) hereof) as if the spouse had been
                 the participant.

                          (iii)   A participant's beneficiary shall be his
                 surviving spouse, if any; provided, that if he has no
                 surviving spouse or files a qualified election with the
                 Committee, the participant may designate another beneficiary
                 (which may include more than one person, natural or otherwise,
                 and more than one contingent beneficiary).  A "qualified
                 election" means a beneficiary designation by the participant
                 on a form provided by the Committee, which contains a consent
                 and acknowledgment of the effect of such consent executed by
                 the participant's spouse and witnessed by a representative of
                 the Committee or a notary public.  Consent of the spouse shall
                 not be required if the spouse cannot be located or other
                 circumstances exist which excuse obtaining spousal consent
                 under applicable law or regulations.  A participant's
                 qualified election may be revoked at any time by action of the
                 participant alone, in which case the participant's spouse
                 shall be the beneficiary.  Any other change in beneficiary
                 must be made pursuant to a new qualified election.  If a
                 participant fails to designate a beneficiary (other than his
                 surviving spouse), the death benefit shall be payable to the
                 participant's estate.  If a beneficiary is receiving or
                 entitled to receive payments from the trust fund and dies
                 before receiving all payments due him, any remaining payments
                 shall be made to the contingent beneficiary, or, if there is
                 no contingent beneficiary, to the estate of the beneficiary.
                 Any beneficiary may disclaim part or all of any benefit to
                 which he is entitled by filing a written disclaimer with the
                 Committee at least ten days before payment of such benefit is
                 to commence, in a form which shall be satisfactory to the
                 Committee and irrevocable when filed.  Any benefit disclaimed
                 shall be payable as if the beneficiary who filed the
                 disclaimer had died on the date of such filing.

                          (iv)    The vested accrued benefit of the participant
                 shall be payable in the manner provided in Section 4.1
                 (treating the beneficiary for this purpose as the 
                 participant), as elected by the participant before his death
                 in writing to the Committee or, if the participant shall not
                 have made such election, as elected by the beneficiary in
                 writing to the Committee no later than the first to occur of:
                 (a) December 31 of the calendar year in which distributions
                 are required to commence under paragraph (b) above, or (b)
                 December 31 of the calendar year in which occurs the fifth
                 anniversary of the participant's death.  If the participant
                 has no designated beneficiary or if the designated beneficiary
                 fails to elect a method of distribution, distribution of the
                 participant's vested accrued benefit must be completed by
                 December 31 of the calendar year in which occurs the fifth 
                 anniversary of the participant's death.

                          (v)     For purposes of this Section 4.2.2, any
                 amount paid to a child of the participant shall be treated as
                 if it had been paid to the surviving spouse if the amount
                 becomes payable to the surviving spouse when the child reaches
                 the age of majority.

                          (vi)    Upon a written direction to the Committee
                 prior to any adjustment date by a beneficiary who is receiving
                 benefit payments pursuant to the term certain option described
                 in Section 4.1.1(i), the designated beneficiary may direct
                 that an alternative method of payment of the balance of the
                 participant's vested accrued benefit be made, commencing with
                 the first payment following such adjustment date; provided,
                 that distribution of such balance under any alternative method
                 of payment must be completed at least as rapidly as under the
                 method of payment in effect prior to such adjustment date.

                          (vii)   For purposes of this Section 4.2.2,
                 distribution of a participant's vested accrued benefit is
                 considered to begin on the participant's required beginning
                 date (or if the last sentence of paragraph (b) above is
                 applicable, the date distribution is required to begin to the
                 surviving spouse pursuant to paragraph (ii)(b) above).

                 4.3      TRANSITIONAL RULE FOR REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS:
Notwithstanding any other requirements of this Section 4, distribution on
behalf of any participant, including a five percent owner in a top-heavy plan,
may be made in accordance with the following requirements (regardless of when
such distribution commences):

                 4.3.1    The distribution is one which would not have
         disqualified the plan under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code as in effect
         prior to amendment by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 ("DEFRA").

                 4.3.2    The distribution is in accordance with a method of
         distribution designated in a written instrument signed by the
         participant whose interest in the trust is being distributed or, if
         the participant is deceased, by a beneficiary of such participant
         prior to January 1, 1984.

                 4.3.3    The participant had an accrued benefit under the plan
         as of December 31, 1983.

                 4.3.4    The method of distribution designated by the
         participant or the beneficiary specifies the time at which
         distribution will commence, the period over which distributions will
         be made, and in the case of any distribution upon the participant's
         death, the beneficiaries of the participant listed in order of
         priority.

                 4.3.5    A distribution upon death will not be covered by this
         Section 4.3 unless the information in the designation contains the
         required information described above with respect to the distributions
         to be made upon the death of the participant.  For any distribution
         which commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after December
         31, 1983, the participant, or the beneficiary, to whom such
         distribution is being made, will be presumed to have designated the
         method of distribution under which the distribution is being made if
         the method of distribution was specified in writing and the
         distribution


                                       40
<PAGE>   92

         satisfies the requirements in Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.4 above.  If a
         designation made pursuant to this Section 4.3 is revoked, any
         subsequent distribution must satisfy the requirements of Section
         401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.  If a
         designation is revoked subsequent to the date distributions are
         required to begin, the trust must distribute by the end of the
         calendar year in which the revocation occurs the total amount not yet
         distributed to satisfy Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the
         regulations thereunder, but for the Section 242(b)(2) election.

                 4.3.7    For calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988,
         such distributions must meet the minimum distribution incidental
         benefit requirements in Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Income Tax
         Regulations.  Any change in the designation will be considered to be a
         revocation of the designation.  However, the mere substitution or
         addition of another beneficiary (one not named in the designation)
         under the designation will not be considered to be a revocation of the
         designation, so long as such substitution or addition does not
         directly or indirectly alter the period over which distributions are
         to be made under the designation.  In the case in which an amount is
         transferred or rolled over from one plan to another plan, the rules in
         Q&A J-2 and Q&A J-3 of Sections 1.401(a)(9)- 2 of the Income Tax
         Regulations shall apply.

                 4.4      DEFINITIONS APPLICABLE TO PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS:  The
following definitions shall apply for purposes of Section 4:

                 4.4.1    "Applicable life expectancy" shall mean the life
         expectancy (or joint and last survivor expectancy) calculated using
         the attained age of the participant (or designated beneficiary) as of
         the participant's (or designated beneficiary's) birthday in the
         applicable calendar year reduced by one for each calendar year which
         has elapsed since the date life expectancy was first calculated.  The
         Employer shall specify in the Adoption Agreement whether the life
         expectancy of a designated beneficiary will be used to determine
         distributions under this Section 4.  If life expectancy is being
         recalculated, the applicable life expectancy shall be the life
         expectancy as so recalculated.  The applicable calendar year shall be
         the first distribution calendar year, and, if life expectancy is being
         recalculated, each succeeding calendar year.

                 4.4.2    "Designated beneficiary" shall mean the individual
         who is designated as the beneficiary under the plan in accordance with
         Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations
         thereunder.

                 4.4.3    "Distribution calendar year" shall mean a calendar
         year for which a minimum distribution is required.  For distributions
         beginning before the participant's death, the first distribution
         calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar
         year which contains the participant's required beginning date.  For
         distributions beginning after the participant's death, the first
         distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions
         are required to begin pursuant to Section 4.2 above.

                 4.4.4    "Life expectancy" shall mean life expectancy and
         joint and last survivor expectancy as computed by use of the expected
         return multiples in Tables V and VI of Section 1.72-9 of the Income
         Tax Regulations.  Unless otherwise elected by the participant (or
         spouse, in the case of distributions described in Section 4.2.2(b)(ii)
         above) by the time distributions are required to begin, life
         expectancies shall be recalculated annually.  Such election shall be
         irrevocable as to the participant (or spouse) and shall


                                       41
<PAGE>   93

         apply to all subsequent years.  The life expectancy of a nonspouse
         beneficiary may not be recalculated.

                 4.4.5    "Participant's benefit" shall mean his accrued
         benefit as of the last adjustment date in the calendar year
         immediately preceding the distribution calendar year ("valuation
         calendar year") increased by the amount of any contributions or
         forfeitures allocated to the accrued benefit as of dates in the
         valuation calendar year after the adjustment date and decreased by
         distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the adjustment
         date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of the minimum
         distribution for the first distribution calendar year is made in the
         second distribution calendar year on or before the required beginning
         date, the amount of the minimum distribution made in the second
         distribution calendar year shall be treated as if it had been made in
         the first distribution calendar year.

                 4.4.6    "Required beginning date" shall generally mean the
         first day of April of the calendar year following the calendar year in
         which the participant attains age 70 1/2.  Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, the following special provisions shall apply:

                          (i)     The required beginning date of a participant
                 who attains age 70 1/2 before January 1, 1988, shall be
                 determined in accordance with (a) or (b) below:

                                  (a)      The required beginning date of a
                          participant who is not a five percent owner is the
                          first day of April of the calendar year following the
                          calendar year in which the later of retirement or
                          attainment of age 70 1/2 occurs.  The required
                          beginning date of a participant who is not a five
                          percent owner who attains age 70 1/2 during 1988 and
                          who has not retired as of January 1, 1989, is April
                          1, 1990.

                                  (b)      The required beginning date of a
                          participant who is a five percent owner during any
                          year beginning after December 31, 1979 is the first
                          day of April following the later of:  (1) the
                          calendar year in which the participant attains age 70
                          1/2, or (2) the earlier of the calendar year with or
                          within which ends the plan year in which the
                          participant becomes a five percent owner, or the
                          calendar year in which the participant retires.

                          (ii)    A participant is treated as a five percent
                 owner for purposes of this Section 4.4.6 if such participant
                 is a five percent owner as defined in Section 416(i) of the
                 Code (determined in accordance with Section 416 but without
                 regard to whether the plan is top-heavy) at any time during
                 the plan year ending with or within the calendar year in which
                 such owner attains age 66 1/2 or any subsequent plan year.


                                       42
<PAGE>   94

                          (iii)   Once distributions have begun to a five
                 percent owner under this Section 4.4.6, they must continue
                 even if the participant ceases to be a five percent owner in a
                 subsequent year.


All distributions under this Section 4 shall be determined and made in
accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations
thereunder, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement
of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Income Tax Regulations, which are incorporated
herein by reference.

                 4.5      DISTRIBUTIONS TO ALTERNATE PAYEES:  If the
participant's accrued benefit under the plan shall become subject to any
"domestic relations order" which (i) is a "qualified domestic relations order"
within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code, and (ii) requires the
immediate distribution in a single lump sum of the entire portion of the
participant's accrued benefit required to be segregated for the benefit of an
alternate payee, then the entire interest of such alternate payee shall be
distributed in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the
adjustment date coinciding with or immediately following the Committee's
notification to the participant and the alternate payee that the domestic
relations order is qualified under Section 414(p) of the Code.  Such
distribution to an alternate payee shall be made even if the participant has
not separated from the service of the Employer.  Any other distribution
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order shall not be made earlier than
the participant's termination of service, or his attainment of age 50, if
earlier, and only in a manner permitted under Section 4.1.  For purposes of
this Section 4.5, "alternate payee" shall mean any spouse, former spouse,
child, or other dependent of the participant who is recognized by a domestic
relations order as having a right to receive all or a portion of the accrued
benefit payable under the plan with respect to such participant.

                 4.6      INTERIM PAYMENTS:  At the request of a participant or
his designated beneficiary, the Committee may in a nondiscriminatory manner
cause one or more interim payments to be made to such participant or
beneficiary, as the case may be, between the date the participant shall retire,
or the date of death of the participant, and the adjustment date as of which
retirement or death benefits would ordinarily be paid or commence to be paid;
provided, that in no event shall the aggregate of such interim payments exceed
50% of the vested accrued benefit of such participant as of the close of
business of the plan on the adjustment date next preceding the date he shall
retire or die.  This Section 4.6 shall not apply if the Employer has designated
daily adjustment dates in the Adoption Agreement.

                 4.7      CONTINUED SHARE IN PROFITS OR LOSSES OF TRUST FUND:
If all or any part of the accrued benefit of any individual is being paid to
him from the trust in installments, or is being held in the trust for future
payment to him, his account shall continue to be adjusted as provided in
Section 7.  With respect to an individual who is receiving installment payments
from the trust, the amount of the installment payments shall be adjusted as of
each adjustment date to reflect the adjusted amount in his account (or deferred
payment account as the case may be) as of such adjustment date.
Notwithstanding the above, no adjustment for earnings or losses shall be made
to the amount of any lump sum or individual installment distribution under the
plan between the adjustment date as of which the distribution is valued and the
actual date of such distribution.

                 4.8      MEDIUM OF DISTRIBUTIONS:  All distributions from the
plan shall be made in cash or units as allowed by the investment fund
established within the trust or in which plan assets are invested, except, if
elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, amounts invested in Employer
stock and allocated to a participant's separate account may be distributed in
whole shares of Employer stock, with a cash adjustment for any fractional
share.

<PAGE>   95

                 4.9      DAILY ADJUSTMENT DATES:  Notwithstanding any
provision in this Section 4 to the contrary, if daily adjustment dates are
designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the value of the
participant's vested accrued benefit for purposes of any distribution made
pursuant to this Section 4 shall be determined as of the adjustment date such
distribution is actually processed.

                 SECTION 5.       VESTING:

                 5.1      VESTING UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN EVENTS:
Notwithstanding the vesting schedule elected by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, the matching
contribution account and discretionary Employer contribution account of each
participant shall be nonforfeitable immediately following the first to occur
of:

                 5.1.1    Completion by the participant of his first hour of
         service on or after attainment of his normal retirement age;

                 5.1.2    Retirement of the participant under Section 3,
         including early retirement, if permitted, and disability retirement;

                 5.1.3    Death of the participant while in service;

                 5.1.4    Termination or partial termination of the plan by the
         Employer;

                 5.1.5    Termination by the Employer of contributions to the
         plan, or a suspension or reduction of such contributions which amounts
         in effect to a termination of contributions; and

                 5.1.6    A final determination of disqualification of the plan
         at any time following initial determination by the Internal Revenue
         Service that the plan is qualified.

                 5.2      SERVICE REQUIREMENT FOR VESTING:  A participant whose
matching contribution account or discretionary Employer contribution account is
subject to forfeiture, as provided in Section 5.1 and 5.3, shall be vested in
all or a percentage of such matching contribution account and/or discretionary
Employer contribution account based upon the number of his years of service at
the time such vested percentage is determined, as specified by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement.  For purposes of determining the vested percentage of a
participant in his matching contribution account and discretionary Employer
account, the following special provisions shall apply:

                 5.2.1    All years of service shall be taken into account
         except as otherwise elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.

                 5.2.2    With respect to any participant who shall have had a
         prior break in service:

                          (i)     If a participant shall have a break in
                 service following the computation date (as defined in Section
                 1.62) and shall not have any vested interest in his accrued
                 benefit (excluding for this purpose that portion of his
                 accrued benefit that is attributable to his employee after-
                 tax contributions) at the time of such break in service, and
                 the period of consecutive one year breaks in service equals or
                 exceeds the greater of (a) five, or (b) the aggregate number
                 of years of service before such


                                       44
<PAGE>   96

                 period, all years of such service prior to such period shall
                 be disregarded.  For the purpose of determining years of
                 service prior to such period, there shall be excluded any
                 years of service previously disregarded under this paragraph
                 (i).

                          (ii)    No years of service following five
                 consecutive one year breaks in service shall be taken into
                 account in determining the vested percentage of his matching
                 contribution account or discretionary Employer contribution
                 account with respect to his service prior to such break.

                 5.2.3    In the event the Employer shall amend the provisions
         of the plan for determining the vested percentages of participants, or
         if the plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a
         top-heavy vesting schedule as provided in Section 22.2.2, each
         participant with at least three years of service with the Employer may
         elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of the amendment,
         to have his vested percentage determined without regard to such
         amendment.  For participants who do not have at least one hour of
         service in any plan year beginning after December 31, 1988, the
         preceding sentence shall be applied by substituting "five years of
         service" for "three years of service" where such language appears.
         The period during which the election may be made shall commence with
         the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made and shall end
         on the latest of:  (i) 60 days after the amendment is adopted; (ii) 60
         days after the amendment becomes effective; or (iii) 60 days after the
         participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Employer
         or the Committee.

                 5.3      FORFEITURE OF NON-VESTED BENEFITS:  A participant
whose matching contribution account or discretionary Employer contribution
account is subject to forfeiture shall forfeit the portion of such account or
accounts, as appropriate, which is not vested for the plan year in which first
occurs the following:  (i) he shall have five consecutive one year breaks in
service, (ii) he shall terminate service and die following such termination and
prior to having a break in service, or (iii) he shall terminate service and
receive or be deemed to receive a distribution pursuant to Section 3.6 or 3.7
(regardless of whether he had incurred a break in service).  The portion of his
matching contribution account or discretionary Employer contribution account so
forfeited shall be used first to restore any previously forfeited account in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, and then shall be treated as
provided in the Adoption Agreement.  No forfeitures will occur solely as a
result of an employee's withdrawal of employee after-tax contributions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, if the
participant receives a distribution pursuant to Section 3.6 or 3.7 and
subsequently reenters service, the participant's matching contribution account
and discretionary Employer contribution account shall be restored to the
balance that existed in such accounts as of the distribution date if the
participant repays to the trust the full amount of the distribution
attributable to the matching contribution account and discretionary Employer
contribution account before the earlier of (i) five years after the participant
first reenters service or (ii) the last day of the plan year in which the
participant incurs his fifth consecutive one year break in service following
the distribution date.  If a participant is deemed to receive a distribution
pursuant to Section 3.7, his matching contribution account and discretionary
Employer contribution account shall be restored to the balance that existed in
such accounts as of the deemed distribution date if the participant reenters
the service of the Employer before the last day of the plan year in which the
participant incurs his fifth consecutive one year break in service following
the deemed distribution date.  In either case, such amount shall be restored
not later than the last adjustment date for the plan year in which the
participant reenters service, and shall be taken first from available
forfeitures of any matching contributions or discretionary Employer
contributions, as appropriate.  If such forfeitures


                                       45
<PAGE>   97

are insufficient for this purpose, such amount shall be contributed by the
Employer to the Trustee on or before such date.

                 SECTION 6.       IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS:

                 6.1      WITHDRAWAL OF MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS AND
DISCRETIONARY EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS:  If elected by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement with respect to a participant's matching contribution
account and/or discretionary Employer contribution account, a participant in
the service of the Employer who is eligible to make a withdrawal in accordance
with the Employer's election in the Adoption Agreement may at his option make
one or more withdrawals from his matching contribution account and/or
discretionary Employer contribution account subject to the following
provisions:

                 6.1.1    Except as provided in Section 6.1.2, no withdrawal
         hereunder shall exceed the vested amount in the matching contribution
         account or discretionary Employer contribution account of the
         participant, as appropriate, as of the adjustment date next preceding
         the date of the withdrawal.

                 6.1.2    For purposes of this Section 6.1, if daily adjustment
         dates are designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, no
         withdrawal shall exceed the percentage specified by the Employer in
         the Adoption Agreement of the vested amount in the matching
         contribution account or discretionary Employer contribution account of
         the participant, as appropriate, determined on the date the withdrawal
         request is actually processed.

                 6.1.3    The maximum number of withdrawals that may be
         requested by a participant during a plan year shall not exceed the
         number designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.

                 6.1.4    Application for a withdrawal shall be made by the
         participant in writing on a form approved by the Committee and filed
         with the Committee.

                 6.1.5    If any portion of a participant's matching
         contribution account or discretionary Employer contribution account,
         as appropriate, is distributed to him at a time when he has a
         nonforfeitable right to less than 100% of the applicable account(s),
         at any subsequent relevant time the participant's nonforfeitable
         portion of his matching contribution account or discretionary Employer
         contribution account shall not be less than an amount ("X") determined
         by the following formula:  X = P (AB + D) - D.  For purposes of
         applying the formula:  P is the nonforfeitable percentage at the
         relevant time; AB is the account balance in the participant's matching
         contribution account or discretionary Employer contribution account at
         the relevant time; D is the amount of the distribution, and the
         relevant time is the time under the plan at which the nonforfeitable
         percentage of such account balance cannot increase.

                 6.1.6    The Committee from time to time may adopt additional
         uniform and nondiscriminatory policies or rules to assist in the
         administration of the withdrawal requests for matching contributions
         and discretionary Employer contributions, including, but not limited
         to, permitting such withdrawals only on account of financial hardship
         (as defined in Section 6.3).

<PAGE>   98

                 6.2      WITHDRAWAL OF EMPLOYEE AFTER-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS:  If
elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a participant may at his
option make a withdrawal from his employee after-tax contribution account
during a plan year subject to the following provisions:

                 6.2.1    No withdrawal hereunder shall exceed the amount in
         the employee after-tax contribution account of the participant as of
         the adjustment date next preceding the date of the withdrawal.

                 6.2.2    For purposes of this Section 6.2, if daily adjustment
         dates are designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, no
         withdrawal shall exceed the percentage specified by the Employer in
         the Adoption Agreement of the amount in the employee after-tax
         contribution account of the participant determined on the date the
         withdrawal request is actually processed.

                 6.2.3    A participant may not withdraw any portion of an
         employee after-tax contribution made during a plan year if a matching
         contribution is allocable to the participant's account with respect to
         such employee after- tax contribution for such plan year.

                 6.2.4    The maximum number of withdrawals that may be
         requested by a participant during a plan year shall not exceed the
         number designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.

                 6.2.5    Application for a withdrawal shall be made by the
         participant in writing on a form approved by the Committee and filed
         with the Committee.

                 6.2.6    The Committee from time to time may adopt additional
         uniform and nondiscriminatory policies or rules to assist in the
         administration of the withdrawal requests for employee after-tax
         contributions.

                 6.3      WITHDRAWAL OF ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS:  If elected by
the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a participant may at his option make a
withdrawal from his rollover account during a plan year subject to the
following provisions:

                 6.3.1    No withdrawal hereunder shall exceed the amount in
         the rollover account of the participant as of the adjustment date next
         preceding the date of the withdrawal.

                 6.3.2    For purposes of this Section 6.3, if daily adjustment
         dates are designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, no
         withdrawal shall exceed the percentage specified by the Employer in
         the Adoption Agreement of the amount in the rollover account of the
         participant determined on the date the withdrawal request is actually
         processed.

                 6.3.3    The maximum number of withdrawals that may be
         requested by a participant during a plan year shall not exceed the
         number designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.


                                       47
<PAGE>   99

                 6.3.4    Application for a withdrawal shall be made by the
         participant in writing on a form approved by the Committee and filed
         with the Committee.

                 6.3.5    The Committee from time to time may adopt additional
         uniform and nondiscriminatory policies or rules to assist in the
         administration of the withdrawal requests for rollover contributions.

                 6.4      DISTRIBUTIONS ON OR AFTER ATTAINMENT OF AGE 59 1/2:
If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a participant who has
attained age 59 1/2 may at his option make a withdrawal of all or any portion
of his vested interest in all of his amounts, subject to the following
provisions:

                 6.4.1    No withdrawal shall exceed the vested amount in the
         accounts of the participant as of the adjustment date next preceding
         the date of the withdrawal.

                 6.4.2    For purposes of this Section 6.4, if daily adjustment
         dates are designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, no
         withdrawal shall exceed the percentage specified by the Employer in
         the Adoption Agreement of the vested amount in the account if the
         participant determined on the date the withdrawal request is actually
         processed.

                 6.4.3    The maximum number of withdrawals that may be
         requested by a participant shall not exceed the number designated by
         the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.

                 6.4.4    Application for a withdrawal may be made by the
         participant in writing on a form approved by the Committee and filed
         with the Committee.

                 6.4.5    The Committee from time to time may adopt additional
         uniform and nondiscriminatory policies or rules to assist in the
         administration of the withdrawal requests pursuant to this Section.

                 6.5      HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS:  If elected by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement, a participant may file a written request with the
Committee for a distribution on account of financial hardship.  A distribution
will be on account of financial hardship only if the distribution is on account
of an immediate and heavy financial need of the participant, is necessary to
satisfy such financial need, and such need cannot be satisfied through other
financial resources reasonably available to the participant.  The request must
specify the nature of the hardship, the total amount requested, and the total
amount of the actual expense incurred, or to be incurred, on account of the
hardship.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.5, the Committee in its
discretion shall determine whether a hardship constitutes an immediate and
heavy financial need, and its decision to grant or deny a hardship distribution
shall be final.  If the Committee determines that a hardship exists, the
Committee shall direct the Trustee to make a distribution to the participant in
cash of the amount approved by the Committee.  The amount available for such
distribution shall be determined as of the adjustment date coincident with or
next preceding receipt by the Trustee of such direction from the Committee.
The portion of a participant's elective deferral account available for a
hardship distribution shall not exceed the amount in the participant's elective
deferral account (reduced by any previous hardship distribution not reflected
as of such adjustment date), excluding any earnings credited to his elective
deferral account as of any plan year ending after July 1, 1989.  Amounts
allocated to a participant's qualified non-elective contribution account or
qualified matching contribution account shall not be available for distribution
under this Section 6.5.

                 6.5.1    Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of this
                 Section 6.5, if daily adjustment dates are designated by the
                 Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the value of a
                 participant's account or accounts subject to a hardship
                 withdrawal shall be determined on the date the withdrawal
                 request is processed.

                 6.5.2    Special rules for hardship withdrawals:

                          (i)     The following are the only financial needs
                 considered immediate and heavy: expenses incurred or necessary
                 for medical care (as defined in Section 213(d) of the Code) of
                 the participant, the participant's spouse, children, or
                 dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code); costs
                 directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments)
                 of a principal residence for the participant; payment of
                 tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of
                 post-secondary education for the participant, the
                 participant's spouse, children, or dependents; or the need to
                 prevent the eviction of the participant from, or a foreclosure
                 on the mortgage of, the participant's principal residence.

                          (ii)    A distribution will be considered as
                 necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of
                 the participant only if:

                                  (a)      The participant has obtained all
                          distributions, other than hardship distributions, and
                          all nontaxable loans under all plans maintained by
                          the Employer;

                                  (b)      All plans maintained by the Employer
                          provide that, if any portion of the hardship
                          distribution is attributable to a participant's
                          elective deferrals, the participant's elective
                          deferrals and employee after-tax contributions will
                          be suspended for 12 months after the receipt of the
                          hardship distribution;

                                  (c)      The distribution is not in excess of
                          the amount of an immediate and heavy financial need
                          (including amounts necessary to pay any federal,
                          state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably
                          anticipated to result from the distribution); and

                                  (d)      All plans maintained by the Employer
                          provide that the participant may not make elective
                          deferrals for the participant's taxable year
                          immediately following the taxable year of the
                          hardship distribution in excess of the applicable
                          limit under Section 402(g) of the Code for such
                          taxable year less the amount of such participant's
                          elective deferrals for the taxable year of the
                          hardship distribution.

<PAGE>   101

                          6.5.3   If a participant's termination of service
                 occurs after a request for a hardship distribution is approved
                 in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.5, but
                 prior to the actual payment of such distribution, such
                 approval shall be void, and the accrued benefit of such
                 participant shall be payable hereunder as if such approval had
                 not been made.

                          6.5.4   The Committee from time to time may adopt
                 additional uniform and nondiscriminatory policies or rules to
                 assist in the administration of hardship distribution
                 requests, including, but not limited to, establishing limits
                 on the maximum number of hardship distributions that may
                 requested by plan participants during a plan year.

                 6.6      LOANS:  If elected by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement, upon the written application of any participant or beneficiary who
is a party-in-interest as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA (other than an
owner-employee or shareholder-employee) (the "borrower"), the Committee in
accordance with its uniform, nondiscriminatory policy may direct the Trustee to
permit the borrower to borrow from such of his separate accounts designated by
the Employer in the Adoption Agreement as available sources for loan proceeds,
subject to the following provisions:

                 6.6.1    Loans shall be available to all borrowers on a
         reasonably equivalent basis.  Loans shall not be available to highly
         compensated participants in an amount greater than to non-highly
         compensated participants.

                 6.6.2    The minimum principal amount of any loan made to a
         participant shall not be less than the amount designated by the
         Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  The maximum principal amount of
         any loan made to the borrower, when added to the then unpaid balance
         on all loans previously made to the borrower, shall not exceed the
         lesser of:

                          (i)     $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of
                 the highest outstanding balance of loans during the one-year
                 period ending on the day before the loan is made, over the
                 outstanding balance of loans from the plan on the day the loan
                 is made; or

                          (ii)    50% of the vested accrued benefit of the
                 borrower, other than amounts credited to his deductible
                 contribution account.

         For purposes of this Section 6.6, the borrower's vested accrued
         benefit shall be determined as of the adjustment date next preceding
         the date the loan is processed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
         sentence, if daily adjustment dates are designated by the Employer in
         the Adoption Agreement, the borrower's vested accrued benefit shall be
         determined as of the date the loan paperwork is generated.  If a
         borrower shall have a vested accrued benefit in more than one
         tax-qualified retirement plan of the Employer or an affiliated
         employer, the limitation in (i) or (ii) shall be applied both with
         respect to this plan only and with respect to all such plans in the
         aggregate.  In applying the limitations with respect to this plan,
         only loans to the borrower under this plan and his vested accrued
         benefit under this plan shall be taken into account.  In applying the
         limitations with respect to all such plans in the aggregate, all loans
         to the borrower under


                                       50
<PAGE>   102

         all such plans and the sum of his vested accrued benefits under all
         such plans shall be taken into account.

                 6.6.3    All loans made under this Section 6.6 shall be
         considered earmarked investments of the borrower's account, and any
         repayment of principal and interest on such loan shall be credited to
         the borrower's account.

                 6.6.4    The principal amount of a loan shall be derived from
         the borrower's separate accounts designated in the Adoption Agreement
         as available sources for such loan proceeds in the following order of
         priority:

                 (i)      Qualified non-elective contribution account;

                 (ii)     Qualified matching contribution account;

                 (iii)    Elective deferral account;

                 (iv)     Mandatory contribution account;

                 (v)      Discretionary Employer contribution account;

                 (vi)     Matching contribution account;

                 (vii)    Direct transfer account;

                 (viii)   Rollover account; and

                 (ix)     Employee after-tax contribution account.

         Any repayment of principal and interest on a loan shall be credited to
         the borrower's separate accounts in the reverse order from which the
         proceeds were first obtained.  See Section 8.3 for special provisions
         that apply in the event the participant's separate account from which
         an amount is borrowed is also a directed separate account (as defined
         in Section 8.1.1).

                 6.6.5    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.6.4
         above, if daily adjustment dates are elected by the Employer in the
         Adoption Agreement, the principal amount of a loan shall be derived on
         a pro rata basis from the borrower's separate accounts designated in
         the Adoption Agreement as available sources for such loan proceeds.
         Any repayment of principal and interest on a loan shall be credited to
         such separate accounts on a pro rata basis.  See Section 8.3 for
         special provisions that apply in the event the participant's separate
         account from which an amount is borrowed is also a directed separate
         account (as defined in Section 8.1.1).

                 6.6.6    All loans shall by their terms require that repayment
         be amortized in level payments of principal and interest, not less
         frequently than quarterly, over a period not exceeding five years from
         the date the loan is made.  Notwithstanding the five-year repayment
         obligation of the preceding sentence, in the case of loan made to a
         borrower for the purpose of acquiring any dwelling unit which is used,
         or will be used, within a reasonable time (determined at the time the
         loan is made), as the primary residence of


                                       51
<PAGE>   103

         the borrower, the repayment period may exceed five years, but shall
         not extend for more than 15 years from the date the loan is made.  The
         Employer shall establish a procedure for withholding at appropriate
         intervals from a participant's regular payroll checks amounts
         necessary to satisfy the borrowing participant's repayment obligations
         under the note.  All amounts so withheld shall be transferred
         immediately to the Trustee.

                 6.6.7    Each borrower making an application for a loan shall
         receive from the Trustee a statement of the charges involved in the
         loan transaction.  This statement shall include the amount financed
         and the annual interest rate.

                 6.6.8    Each loan shall be secured by the pledge of 50% of
         the borrower's vested accrued benefit, other than amounts credited to
         his deductible contribution account (determined at the time the loan
         is processed), and by the pledge of such further security as the
         Committee, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable to assure
         repayment of the borrowed amount and all interest payable thereon in
         accordance with the terms of the loan.

                 6.6.9    Each loan shall be evidenced by a negotiable
         promissory note (the "note") in form acceptable to the Trustee,
         payable to the order of the Trustee, bearing interest at a rate
         commensurate with the prevailing rate charged by commercial lenders in
         the geographic region of the Employer, as determined by the Trustee,
         and, except as provided in Section 6.6.6, payable in full not more
         than five years from the date thereof.  The borrower shall execute any
         additional documents as shall be deemed necessary or advisable by the
         Committee to consummate the loan and to provide reasonable safeguards.

                 6.6.10   The occurrence of any one or more of the following
         events of default shall constitute a default by the borrower under the
         terms of the loan, whereupon the unpaid balance of the note, together
         with accrued interest, will immediately become due and payable without
         presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind.  Events of
         default include:  (i) failure to make any payment when due, whether by
         acceleration or otherwise; (ii) termination of service of a
         participant who is not a party-in-interest as defined in Section 3(14)
         of ERISA; (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the borrower; and (iv)
         death of the borrower.  Prior to foreclosure and attachment, the
         unpaid principal and interest of the loan shall bear interest at a
         rate two percentage points greater than the rate set forth in the
         note.  If the unpaid principal and interest exceed the amount of the
         defaulting borrower's account that is pledged as security, all or any
         part of any additional security pledged to secure the loan, in the
         discretion of the Committee, may be sold at private or public sale.
         The proceeds of such sale shall be applied first to pay the expenses
         of conducting the sale, including reasonable attorneys' fees, then to
         accrued interest, and then to principal of the loan.  The borrower
         shall remain liable for any deficiency.  Any surplus shall be paid to
         the borrower.  No distribution under the plan to or on behalf of the
         borrower shall be made unless and until all unpaid loans, include
         interest thereon, are satisfied.

                 6.6.11   If an event of default shall occur with respect to a
         borrower, the entire unpaid principal amount of the note, plus accrued
         and unpaid interest shall immediately become due and payable;
         provided, that foreclosure on the note and attachment of the
         borrower's vested accrued benefit shall not occur until a
         distributable event occurs under the plan.


                                       52
<PAGE>   104

                 6.6.12   If any portion of the accrued benefit of a
         participant is applied to repay a loan under this Section 6.6 at a
         time when such participant's accrued benefit is subject to forfeiture,
         the participant's vested accrued benefit at any subsequent time until
         he has a nonforfeitable right to his entire accrued benefit shall not
         be less than an amount ("X") determined by the formula:  X + P(AB + D)
         - D.  For purposes of applying the formula: P is the vested percentage
         at the relevant time;  AB is the accrued benefit at the relevant time;
         and D is the amount of such participant's vested accrued benefit
         applied to repay the loan.

                 6.6.13   During the period a participant's loan request is
         pending, the participant shall not be permitted to request any
         distributions or withdrawals (including hardship withdrawals) from his
         account.

                 6.6.14   If a participant's termination of service occurs
         after a request for a loan is approved in accordance with the
         provisions of this Section 6.6, but prior to the actual payment of
         such loan proceeds, such approval shall be void, and the vested
         accrued benefit of such participant shall be payable hereunder as if
         such approval had not been made.

                 6.6.15   The Committee from time to time may adopt additional
         uniform and nondiscriminatory policies or rules to assist in the
         administration of participant loan requests, including, but not
         limited to, establishing limits on the maximum number of loans that
         may be requested during a plan year or outstanding at one time.

                 SECTION 7.       ADJUSTMENT OF PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS:

                 7.1      ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS:  The Committee shall cause
an account to be maintained under the plan with respect to each participant,
which account shall include to the extent applicable the separate accounts
described in Section 1.1.  The fair market value of each separate account with
respect to the participant shall be determined and adjusted as of each
adjustment date under one of the adjustment methods designated by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement.

                 7.2      GENERAL:  The Committee shall have and may exercise
all powers necessary or advisable in order to implement the provisions of this
Section 7 and to ensure that the accounts maintained under the plan are fairly
and accurately adjusted as of each adjustment date.

                 SECTION 8.       PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS:

                 8.1      PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS:  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of the plan, each participant having an amount to his
credit under the plan may, acting through the Committee, direct the Trustee as
to the investment or reinvestment of his account to the extent permitted by the
Employer in the Adoption Agreement, subject to the following provisions of this
Section 8 and Section 9:

                 8.1.1    Directed investment funds:  The Committee shall
         determine from time to time the investment options ("directed
         investment funds") available to participants.  If elected by the
         Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the directed investment funds may
         include an Employer stock fund (as defined in Section 9.1).  Each
         participant shall be entitled to direct the investment and
         reinvestment of such of his separate accounts as shall be permitted in
         the Adoption Agreement ("directed separate accounts") among the


                                       53
<PAGE>   105

         directed investment funds.  Each directed separate account of a
         participant shall be divided into sub-accounts reflecting the portion
         of such directed separate account invested in each directed investment
         fund ("fund accounts").

                 8.1.2    Adjustment of fund accounts:  Except as otherwise
         specifically provided herein, each fund account shall be adjusted as
         of each adjustment date in the manner provided in Section 7, as if it
         were the entire directed separate account of the participant to which
         it is subsidiary, with respect to distributions, withdrawals, loans,
         contributions and forfeitures allocated to it and with respect to its
         share of the net income or net loss of the directed investment fund of
         which it is a part.

                 8.1.3    Direction of future contributions:  In accordance
         with procedures adopted by the Committee, contributions allocated to a
         participant's directed separate accounts shall be apportioned among
         the directed investment funds in the manner designated by the
         participant.  Any such designation for future contributions shall be
         made in multiples of the percentage chosen by the Employer in the
         Adoption Agreement.  Any designation among directed investment funds
         shall remain in effect unless and until the participant shall file a
         timely application providing for a different designation.  A
         participant may change his investment direction at such intervals
         during the plan year as designated by the Employer in the Adoption
         Agreement.  If for any reason a participant shall not have made an
         effective designation with respect to any portion of a contribution
         allocated to a directed separate account, such contribution for which
         no designation was made shall be invested by the Trustee at the
         direction of the Committee.

                 8.1.4    Reallocations among directed investment funds:  In
         accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee, a participant
         shall be entitled to reallocate the amount credited to each of his
         directed separate accounts among the available directed investment
         funds in multiples of the percentage designated by the Employer in the
         Adoption Agreement.  The Committee specifically reserves the right to
         restrict transfers out of a directed investment fund to the extent
         that such transfers will endanger the value and liquidity of the Fund.
         Such reallocations may be made at such intervals during the plan year
         as designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.

                 8.1.5    Notification of Trustee:  The Committee shall notify
         the Trustee of all directions made in accordance with Section 8.1.3
         and 8.1.4 as soon as practicable following their receipt.

                 8.2      RIGHTS IN DIRECTED INVESTMENT FUNDS:  Notwithstanding
the fact that all or a portion of a participant's account may be invested in
directed investment funds selected by the Committee and may be expressed in
dollars, shares, or units in a particular directed investment fund, such
references shall mean the aggregate of the dollar amount and the number of
shares of Employer stock, if any, which are credited to the participant's
account at any point in time.  Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be
deemed to give any participant any interest in any specific property in any
directed investment fund or any interest in the plan, other than (i) the right
to receive payments or distributions in accordance with the plan, (ii) the
right to instruct the Trustee how to vote Employer stock as permitted under
Section 9.4, (iii) the right to instruct the Trustee with respect to the sale,
exchange, or transfer of Employer stock as permitted under Section 9.5, or (iv)
to exercise any other right specifically granted to the participant under the
plan.

                 8.3      EFFECT OF PARTICIPANT LOANS:  In the event the
participant's separate account from which an amount is borrowed pursuant to
Section 6.6 is also a directed separate account, the amount borrowed from such
account shall be withdrawn from the fund accounts with respect to such directed
separate account on a pro rata basis.  Any repayment of principal and interest
on such borrowed amount shall be reinvested in the participant's fund accounts
in accordance with the participant's investment direction in effect on the
adjustment date as of which such repayment is credited to the participant's
directed separate account.

                 8.4      DISTRIBUTIONS FROM DIRECTED SEPARATE ACCOUNTS:  In
the event the participant's separate accounts from which an amount is to be
distributed or withdrawn are also directed separate accounts, the amount
distributed from such accounts shall be withdrawn from the fund accounts with
respect to each such directed separate account on a pro rata basis.

                 8.5      ACCOUNTS NOT SUBJECT TO PARTICIPANT DIRECTION:  In
the event a participant is not permitted to direct the investment and
reinvestment of one or more of his separate accounts, such separate accounts
shall remain subject to the investment discretion of the Trustee pursuant to
Section 20 of the plan.

                 8.6      AUTHORITY OF TRUSTEE AND COMMITTEE:  The Trustee
shall have and may exercise all powers necessary or advisable in order to
implement the provisions of this Section 8.  To the extent approved by the
Trustee, the Committee may promulgate rules or by-laws supplementing and
implementing the provisions of this Section 8, including such rules or by-laws
as may be necessary from time to time in order to provide a participant or
beneficiary, within the meaning of Section 404(c) of ERISA and the regulations
thereunder, an opportunity (i) to exercise control over assets in his account,
and (ii)  to choose, from a broad range of investment alternatives, the manner
in which some or all of the assets in his account are invested.  If it is not
practicable for the Trustee to effect the transfer of funds on any date
provided in this Section 8, the Trustee shall effect such transfer on the first
practicable date thereafter.

                 SECTION 9.       INVESTMENTS IN EMPLOYER STOCK:

                 9.1      EMPLOYER STOCK FUND:  If elected by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement, at the direction of the Committee, the Trustee shall
establish a special investment fund for the purpose of holding shares of
Employer stock which shall be designated as the "Employer stock fund."  The
Employer may elect under the Adoption Agreement to designate the Employer stock
fund as a directed investment fund under Section 8.  A portion of the Employer
stock fund may be invested in short-term United States Government obligations,
other short-term obligations guaranteed by the United States Government,
commercial paper, or money market funds for qualified employee benefit trusts
while awaiting investment in Employer stock, or to provide sufficient liquidity
to satisfy participants' requests for withdrawals, loans, and distributions.

                 9.2      COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934:  The Committee shall adopt and implement such
procedures as shall be necessary (i) to comply with any applicable registration
requirements for the participants' interests in the plan under the Securities
Act of 1933, and (ii) to qualify any intra-plan transactions by officers,
directors, and ten percent owners of any Employer stock who are participants
under the plan from short-swing profit liability under Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                 9.3      RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL:  If elected by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement, any Employer stock distributed under the plan shall
be subject to the terms of this Section 9.


                                       55
<PAGE>   107

                 9.3.1    Terms and conditions of offer to the Employer:  If
         any participant during his lifetime shall desire to sell, transfer (by
         gift or otherwise), encumber or otherwise dispose of any Employer
         stock distributed to him under the plan, the participant shall first
         offer in writing to sell all of such stock to the Employer.  If the
         Employer does not purchase all of the stock within 14 days after the
         receipt of such offer, the stock not so purchased may be sold,
         transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of free from the
         restrictions of this Section 9.3.1 for 30 days following the close of
         the 14-day period.  After the close of such 30-day period, the
         restrictions of this Section 9.3.1 again shall apply to any of the
         Employer stock not so sold, transferred, encumbered, or otherwise
         disposed of.  If any Employer stock is encumbered or otherwise
         disposed of for a temporary period, and the recipient of such stock
         under the plan receives all or a portion of such stock back at or
         after the close of such temporary period, such stock again shall be
         subject to the restrictions of this Section 9.3.1.  The purchase price
         of each share of Employer stock purchased hereunder shall be the fair
         market value thereof as determined by the Employer pursuant to Section
         9.3.2, but in no event less than the amount of any good faith (as
         determined by the Employer) and then outstanding offer that has been
         received by the participant desiring to dispose of the stock.  The
         purchase price of any Employer stock purchased in accordance with this
         Section 9.3.1 shall be paid in full in cash at the time of the
         closing.  The closing shall take place at such time and place agreed
         upon between the Employer and the participant, but not later than ten
         days after the Employer notifies such recipient of the exercise of the
         right of first refusal.  At the closing, the participant shall deliver
         certificates representing the offered Employer stock duly endorsed in
         blank for transfer, or with stock powers duly executed in blank with
         all required transfer tax stamps attached or provided for, and the
         Employer shall deliver the purchase price.

                 9.3.2    Valuation of Employer stock:  Subject to the
         provisions of Section 9.3.1, all purchases of Employer stock by the
         Employer shall be made at a price not in excess of fair market value.
         Any sale of Employer stock to a disqualified person (as defined in
         Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) or a party-in-interest (as defined in
         Section 3(14) of ERISA) shall conform to the requirements of Section
         408(e) of ERISA.  For all purposes of the plan, the fair market value
         of Employer stock shall be determined by the Employer in good faith.
         If there is a generally recognized market for Employer stock, the fair
         market value shall be a price not less favorable to the plan than the
         offering price for the Employer stock established by the current bid
         and asked prices quoted by persons independent of the Employer and any
         party-in-interest or disqualified person.  If there is no generally
         recognized market for Employer stock, the determination of fair market
         value by the Employer shall be based on a valuation by an independent
         appraiser appointed by the Employer.  In the case of a transaction
         between the plan and a disqualified person or a party-in-interest,
         fair market value shall be determined as of the date of the
         transaction.  For all other purposes, fair market value shall be
         determined as of the adjustment date coincident with or next preceding
         the date of the transaction.

                 9.3.3    Legend:  If recommended by legal counsel for the
         Employer, certificates representing ownership of Employer stock
         distributed from the plan shall bear an appropriate legend approved by
         such counsel to ensure that Employer stock is issued in compliance
         with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

                 9.4      VOTING OF EMPLOYER STOCK:  The following provisions
shall apply in the event the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to
pass-through voting of Employer stock allocated to a participant's separate
accounts to such participants or their beneficiaries under the plan.

                 9.4.1    Readily tradeable Employer stock:  If the Employer
         stock allocated to a participant's separate accounts is readily
         tradable on an established market, each participant or beneficiary
         shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which
         shares of Employer stock allocated to the participant's separate
         accounts shall be voted with respect to any corporate matter that
         involves voting the Employer stock allocated to the participant's
         separate accounts as of any record date.  For purposes of this Section
         9, Employer stock is "readily tradeable on an established market" if
         it is listed on a national securities exchange registered under
         Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or quoted on a system
         sponsored by a national securities association registered under
         Section 15A(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and readily tradeable on
         either such market.

                 9.4.2    Not readily tradeable Employer stock:  If the
         Employer stock allocated to a participant's separate accounts is not
         readily tradable on an established market, each participant or
         beneficiary shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the manner
         in which shares of Employer stock allocated to the participant's
         separate accounts shall be voted with respect to such matters
         designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement that involve
         voting the Employer stock allocated to the participant's separate
         accounts as of any record date.

                 9.4.3    Trustee's responsibilities:  Except as otherwise
         provided in Sections 9.4.1 and 9.4.2, the Trustee shall vote the
         Employer stock held by the trust on the record date as directed by the
         Committee.

                 9.4.4    Voting instructions from participants:  If
         participants and beneficiaries are entitled to direct the Trustee in
         voting Employer stock pursuant to Section 9.4.1 or 9.4.2, the Trustee
         shall vote such Employer stock in accordance with the timely
         instructions of the respective participants and beneficiaries.  The
         Trustee shall be responsible for soliciting and tabulating such votes.
         Prior to the voting of Employer stock, the Committee shall distribute
         to each participant and beneficiary the same information concerning
         the vote as is furnished by the Employer to its shareholders.  If the
         Employer does not furnish any such information within the appropriate
         time period under applicable state corporate law prior to the
         shareholders' meeting, the Committee shall as soon as practicable
         provide each participant and beneficiary with an explanation of those
         matters that to the best knowledge of the Committee are to be
         presented at such meeting for action by shareholders and are subject
         to direction by the participant or beneficiary and an appropriate form
         on which the participant or beneficiary may direct voting on such
         matters.  If the Trustee does not receive participant or beneficiary
         instructions with respect to any Employer stock or such instructions
         are not timely received, such stock shall be voted by the Trustee as
         directed by the Committee.  Instructions received from participants
         and beneficiaries by the Trustee shall be held in the strictest
         confidence and shall not be divulged or released to any person,
         including the Committee, or the officers, directors or employees of
         the Employer.

                 9.5      TENDERING:  The following provisions of this Section
9.5 shall apply in the event the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to
pass-through voting of Employer stock to participants and beneficiaries, and a
tender offer or exchange offer, including but not limited to a tender offer or
exchange offer within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, for the Employer stock held by the trust (a "tender offer") is
commenced.

                 9.5.1   Independent record keeper; Trustee's responsibilities:
         In the event a tender offer for the Employer stock held by the trust
         is commenced, the functions under the plan applicable to participation
         of such Employer stock in the tender offer shall be undertaken by the
         independent record keeper appointed by the Committee at the time the
         tender offer is commenced, and the Committee shall not undertake any
         record keeping function under the plan that would serve to violate the
         confidentiality of any directions given by the participants or
         beneficiaries in connection with the tender offer.  The independent
         record keeper shall use its best efforts to timely distribute or cause
         to be distributed to each participant and beneficiary such information
         as is being distributed to other shareholders of the Employer in
         connection with the tender offer.  The Trustee shall have no
         discretion or authority to sell, exchange or transfer any of the
         Employer stock held in the participant's separate accounts pursuant to
         such tender offer except to the extent, and only to the extent, that
         the Trustee is timely directed to do so in writing as follows:

                          (i)     Each participant and beneficiary shall be
                 entitled to direct the independent record keeper with respect
                 to the sale, exchange, or transfer of the Employer stock
                 allocated to the participant's separate accounts.  The
                 independent record keeper shall then instruct the Trustee as
                 to the number of shares to be tendered, in accordance with the
                 above directions.  The Committee shall instruct the Trustee to
                 follow the directions of the independent record keeper
                 pursuant to the terms of the tender offer.  Instructions
                 received from participants and beneficiaries by the
                 independent record keeper shall be held in the strictest
                 confidence and shall not be divulged or released to any person
                 including the Committee, or the officers, directors, or
                 employees of the Employer.

                          (ii)    The independent record keeper shall instruct
                 the Committee and the Trustee as to the number of shares for
                 which it did not receive any instructions or instructions were
                 not timely received.  The Trustee shall tender or not tender
                 such shares of Employer stock as directed by the Committee.

                 9.5.2  Records:  Following any tender offer that has resulted
         in the sale or exchange or any shares of Employer stock held by the
         trust, the independent record keeper to which responsibility has been
         transferred shall continue to maintain on a confidential basis a
         record of the separate account of each participant or beneficiary to
         which shares of Employer stock were allocated at any time during such
         offer, until complete distribution of such Employer stock.  The record
         keeper shall keep confidential any instructions that it may receive
         from participants or beneficiaries relating to the tender offer.

                 SECTION 10.      ADMINISTRATION BY COMMITTEE:

                 10.1     MEMBERSHIP OF COMMITTEE:  The Committee shall consist
of such individuals who shall be appointed by the Board to serve at the
pleasure of the Board from time to time.  Any member of the Committee may
resign, and his successor, if any, shall be appointed by the Board.  The
composition of the Committee may be changed by the Board at any time without
amending the Adoption Agreement.  The Committee shall be responsible for the
general administration and interpretation of the plan and for carrying out its
provisions, except to the extent all or any of such obligations are
specifically imposed on the Trustee or the Board.  The Committee shall furnish
to the Trustee such information as the Trustee shall require for the proper
administration of the trust.  The plan administrator shall be the person
designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.  The Board may designate
another plan administrator at any time without amending the Adoption Agreement.
The plan administrator shall be agent for service of legal process on the plan.

                 10.2     COMMITTEE OFFICERS; SUBCOMMITTEE:  The members of the
Committee shall elect a chairman and may elect an acting chairman.  They shall
also elect a secretary and may elect an acting secretary, either of whom may be
but need not be a member of the Committee.  The Committee may appoint from its
membership such subcommittees with such powers as the Committee shall
determine, and may authorize one or more of its members or any agent to execute
or deliver any instruments or to make any payment in behalf of the Committee.

                 10.3     COMMITTEE MEETINGS:  The Committee shall hold such
meetings upon such notice, at such places and at such intervals as it may from
time to time determine.  Notice of meetings shall not be required if notice is
waived in writing by all the members of the Committee at the time in office, or
if all such members are present at the meeting.

                 10.4     TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS:  A majority of the members
of the Committee at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business.  All resolutions or other actions taken by the
Committee at any meeting shall be by vote of a majority of those present at any
such meeting and entitled to vote.  Resolutions may be adopted or other action
taken without a meeting upon written consent thereto signed by all of the
members of the Committee.

                 10.5     COMMITTEE RECORDS:  The Committee shall maintain full
and complete records of its deliberations and decisions.  The minutes of its
proceedings shall be conclusive proof of the facts of the operation of the
plan.  The records of the Committee shall contain all relevant data pertaining
to individual participants and their rights under the plan and in the trust
fund.

                 10.6     ESTABLISHMENT OF RULES:  Subject to the limitations
of the plan and of ERISA, the Committee may from time to time establish rules
or by-laws for the administration of the plan and the transaction of its
business.

                 10.7     CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:  No individual member of the
Committee shall have any right to vote or decide upon any matter relating
solely to himself or to any of his rights or benefits under the plan (except
that such member may sign unanimous written consent to resolutions adopted or
other action taken without a meeting), except to the extent such right shall be
generally provided to participants pursuant to the terms of the plan.

                 10.8     CORRECTION OF ERRORS:  The Committee may correct
errors and, so far as practicable, may adjust any benefit or credit or payment
accordingly.  The Committee may in its discretion waive any notice requirements
in the plan; provided, that a waiver of a requirement to notify


                                       59
<PAGE>   111

the Trustee shall be made only with the consent of the Trustee.  A waiver of
notice in one or more cases shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of
notice in any other case.  With respect to any power or authority which the
Committee has discretion to exercise under the plan, such discretion shall be
exercised in a nondiscriminatory manner.

                 10.9     AUTHORITY TO INTERPRET PLAN:  Subject to the claims
procedure set forth in Section 15, the Committee and the plan administrator
shall have the duty, authority, and discretion to interpret and construe the
provisions of the plan and to decide any dispute which may arise regarding the
rights of participants hereunder, including the authority to construe uncertain
provisions of the plan and to make determinations as to the eligibility of
employees for plan participation and of employees and beneficiaries for
benefits under the plan.  Determinations by the Committee or plan administrator
shall apply uniformly to all persons similarly situated and shall be binding
and conclusive upon all interested persons.  Such determinations shall only be
set aside if the Committee or plan administrator is found to have acted
arbitrarily and capriciously in interpreting and construing the terms of the
plan.

                 10.10    THIRD PARTY ADVISORS:  The Committee may engage an
attorney, accountant or any other technical advisor on matters regarding the
operation of the plan and to perform such other duties as shall be required in
connection therewith, and may employ such clerical and related personnel as the
Committee shall deem requisite or desirable in carrying out the provisions of
the plan.  The Committee shall from time to time, but no less frequently than
annually, review the financial condition of the plan and determine the
financial and liquidity needs of the plan as required by ERISA.  The Committee
shall communicate such needs to the Employer and to the Trustee so that the
funding policy and investment policy may be appropriately coordinated to meet
such needs.

                 10.11    COMPENSATION OF MEMBERS:  No fee or compensation
shall be paid to any member of the Committee for his service as such.

                 10.12    COMMITTEE EXPENSES:  The Committee shall be entitled
to reimbursement out of the trust fund for its reasonable expenses properly and
actually incurred in the performance of its duties in the administration of the
plan; provided, that the Employer may, in the discretion of the Board, pay such
expenses.

                 10.13    REQUIREMENT OF WRITING:  All requests, directions,
requisitions, and instructions of the Committee to the Trustee shall be in
writing and signed by such person or persons as shall be designated in writing
by the Committee.

                 10.14    INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE:  To the maximum extent
permitted by ERISA, no member of the Committee shall be personally liable by
reason of any contract or other instrument executed by him or on his behalf as
a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith,
and the Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless, directly from its own
assets (including the proceeds of any insurance policy the premiums for which
are paid from the Employer's own assets), each member of the Committee and each
other officer, employee, or director of the Employer to whom any duty or power
relating to the administration or interpretation of the plan may be delegated
or allocated, against any unreimbursed or uninsured cost or expense (including
any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the prior written approval of the
Board) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the plan,
unless arising out of such person's own fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct,
or gross negligence.

   SECTION 11.      MANAGEMENT OF FUNDS AND AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN:

                 11.1     FIDUCIARY DUTIES:  All assets of the plan shall be
held in a trust forming part of the plan, which shall be administered as a
trust fund to provide for the payment to the participants or their successors
in interest, out of the income and principal of the trust, of benefits as
provided in the plan.  All fiduciaries (as defined in ERISA) with respect to
the plan shall discharge their duties as such solely in the interest of the
participants and their successors in interest, and (i) for the exclusive
purposes of providing benefits to participants and their successors in interest
and defraying reasonable expenses of administering the plan, including the
trust which is a part of the plan, (ii) with the care, skill, prudence and
diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in
a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an
enterprise of like character and with like aims, and (iii) in accordance with
the plan, except to the extent such document may be inconsistent with the then
applicable federal laws relating to fiduciary responsibility.  The trust fund
shall be used for the exclusive benefit of the participants and beneficiaries
and to pay administrative expenses of the plan and trust to the extent not paid
by the Employer, and no portion of the trust fund shall ever revert to or inure
to the benefit of the Employer (except as otherwise provided in this Section
11.1 and in Section 23).  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 11.1, the following special provisions shall apply:

                 11.1.1   The Sponsor expressly reserves the right to amend or
         terminate the plan and liquidate the trust, and the Employer, by
         execution of the Adoption Agreement, delegates to the Sponsor the
         authority to amend or terminate the plan and to liquidate the trust by
         written instrument signed by the duly authorized representative of the
         Sponsor, and the Employer shall be deemed to have consented to any
         such amendments or termination.  No amendment to the plan shall be
         effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing a
         participant's accrued benefit.  Notwithstanding the preceding
         sentence, a participant's accrued benefit may be reduced to the extent
         permitted under Section 412(c)(8) of the Code.  For purposes of this
         Section 11.1.1, a plan amendment which has the effect of decreasing a
         participant's accrued benefit or eliminating an optional form of
         benefit, with respect to benefits attributable to service before the
         amendment, shall be treated as reducing an accrued benefit.
         Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of a plan is amended, in the case
         of an employee who is a participant as of the later of the date such
         amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective, the
         nonforfeitable percentage (determined as of such date) of such
         employee's right to his matching contribution account or discretionary
         Employer account will not be less than his percentage computed under
         the plan without regard to such amendment.

                 11.1.2   An Employer acting through its Board may amend the
         plan by (i) changing the choice of options in the Adoption Agreement,
         (ii) adding overriding plan language to the Adoption Agreement where
         such language is necessary to satisfy Sections 415 or 416 of the Code
         because of the required aggregation of multiple plans under these
         sections, and (iii) adding certain model amendments published by the
         Internal Revenue Service which specifically provide that their
         adoption will not cause the plan to be treated as individually
         designed.  The Employer shall be considered to have an individually
         designed plan if the Employer amends the plan or nonelective portions
         of the Adoption Agreement for any other reason.  The Employer may
         terminate the plan as applicable to it at any time, subject to the
         provisions of Sections 14.1 and 14.2.

                 11.1.3   Notwithstanding any other provisions of the plan, the
         following provisions shall apply:


                                       61
<PAGE>   113

                          (i)     If the plan receives an adverse determination
                 with respect to the initial qualification of the plan under
                 Section 401(a) of the Code, on written request of the
                 Employer, the Trustee shall return to the Employer the amount
                 of such contribution (increased by earnings attributable
                 thereto and reduced by losses attributable thereto) within one
                 calendar year after the date that qualification of the plan is
                 denied; provided, that the application for the determination
                 is made by the time prescribed by law for filing the
                 Employer's federal income tax return for the taxable year in
                 which the plan is adopted or such later date as the Secretary
                 of the Treasury may prescribe;

                          (ii)    On written request of the Employer, the
                 Trustee shall return a disallowed contribution to the extent
                 the deduction is disallowed under Section 404 of the Code
                 (reduced by losses attributable thereto, but not increased by
                 earnings attributable thereto) to the Employer within one year
                 after the date the deduction is disallowed; and

                          (iii)   If a contribution or any portion thereof is
                 made by the Employer by mistake of fact, on written request of
                 the Employer, the Trustee shall return the contribution or
                 such portion (reduced by losses attributable thereto, but not
                 increased by earnings attributable thereto) to the Employer
                 within one year after the date of payment to the Trustee.

                 11.2     ADOPTION OF PLAN:  The Employer shall, upon proper
authorization, adopt the plan and execute the Adoption Agreement.  When such
Adoption Agreement has been accepted and executed by the Trustee and an initial
contribution has been received by the Trustee from the Employer, the plan as
applied to the Employer shall become effective as of the date specified in the
Adoption Agreement.

                 11.3     REQUIREMENT OF WRITING:  All requests, directions,
requisitions, and instructions of the Committee to the Trustee shall be in
writing, signed by such person or persons as designated by the Committee.

                 SECTION 12.      ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITIES AMONG NAMED
                                  FIDUCIARIES:

                 12.1     DUTIES OF NAMED FIDUCIARIES:  The named fiduciaries

                          (iii)   To designate and approve any investment funds

                 SECTION 13.      BENEFITS NOT ASSIGNABLE; FACILITY OF PAYMENTS:

                 13.1     BENEFITS NOT ASSIGNABLE:  No portion of any benefit
held or paid under the plan with respect to any participant shall be subject in
any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void, nor shall
any portion of such accrued benefit be in any manner payable to any assignee,
receiver or trustee, or be liable for his debts, contracts, liabilities,
engagements, or torts, or be subject to any legal process to levy upon or
attach; provided, that this Section 13.1 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 defined in
Section 414(p) of the Code, or any domestic relations order entered before
January 1, 1985.

                 13.2     PAYMENT TO MINORS AND OTHERS:  If any individual
entitled to receive any payments under the plan shall be physically, mentally,
or legally incapable of receiving or acknowledging receipt of such payment, the

that no guardian or committee has been appointed for him, may cause any payment
otherwise payable to him to be made to such person or institution so
maintaining him.  Payment to such person or institution shall be in full
satisfaction of all claims by or through the participant to the extent of the
amount thereof.

                 SECTION 14.      TERMINATION OF PLAN AND TRUST; REMOVAL OF
                                  TRUSTEE; MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF PLAN:

                 14.1     COMPLETE TERMINATION:  In the event of termination of
the plan, all contributions shall cease and no additional participants shall
enter the plan.  The assets under the plan shall thereupon vest (that is,
become nonforfeitable) in the participants, beneficiaries, or other successors
in interest, as their interests may appear, and such vested benefit of each
such individual shall be held in the plan for distribution in accordance with
the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of the plan; provided, that the Committee
may in its discretion provide for a liquidation of the trust and distributions
to the participants of their vested accrued benefits in cash, in kind, or in
any combination thereof.  In addition, the participant's accrued benefit may,
without the participant's consent, be distributed to the participant or
transferred to another defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock
ownership plan defined in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code) of an affiliated
employer.  For purposes of the plan, a termination of Employer contributions or
a suspension or reduction of such contributions which amounts in effect to a
termination of contributions shall be regarded as a termination of the plan.

                 14.2     PARTIAL TERMINATION:  In the event of a partial
termination of the plan, the provisions of Section 14.1 regarding a complete
termination shall apply in determining interests and rights of the participants
and their beneficiaries with respect to whom the partial termination shall
occur, and shall apply to the portion of the trust fund allocable to such
participants and beneficiaries.

                 14.3     REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION OF TRUSTEE:  The Employer, at
any time by written notice of at least 30 days to the Trustee, may remove the
Trustee as trustee under the plan.  The Trustee may resign at any time upon 30
days notice in writing to the Employer.  As of the date of any such removal or
resignation of the Trustee, the Trustee shall transfer the assets of the trust
attributable to the plan as applied to the Employer to the successor trustee or
custodian named in the notice.  Prior to such transfer, the accounts of the
Trustee shall be finally settled.  Following such transfer, the Trustee shall
be released and discharged from all further accountability or liability with
respect to the assets of the trust fund and shall not be responsible in any way
for further disposition of such assets or any part thereof.


                                       65
<PAGE>   117

                 14.4     MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION:  In the event of any merger
or consolidation of the plan with any other plan, or a transfer of assets or
liabilities of the plan to any other plan (which merged, consolidated, or
transferee plan shall be referred to in this Section 14.4 as the "successor
plan"), the amount which each participant would receive if the successor plan
(and this plan, if he has any interest remaining therein) were terminated
immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer shall be equal to or
greater than the amount he would have received if this plan (and the successor
plan, if he had any interest therein immediately prior to the merger,
consolidation, or transfer) had been terminated immediately preceding the
merger, consolidation, or transfer.

                 SECTION 15.      COMMUNICATION TO PARTICIPANTS:

                 In accordance with the requirements of ERISA, the plan
administrator shall communicate the principal terms of the plan to the
participants.  The plan administrator shall make available for inspection by
participants and their beneficiaries during reasonable hours, at the principal
office of the Employer and at such other places as may be required by ERISA, a
copy of the plan, the trust agreement, and such other documents as may be
required by ERISA.

                 SECTION 16.      CLAIMS PROCEDURE:

                 The following claims procedure shall apply with respect to the
plan:

                 16.1     FILING OF A CLAIM FOR BENEFITS:  If a participant or
beneficiary (the "claimant") believes that he is entitled to benefits under the
plan which are not being paid to him or which are not being accrued for his
benefit, he shall file a written claim therefor with the plan administrator.
In the event the plan administrator shall be the claimant, all actions which
are required to be taken by the plan administrator pursuant to this Section 16
shall be taken instead by another member of the Committee designated by the
Committee.

                 16.2     NOTIFICATION TO CLAIMANT OF DECISION:  Within 90 days
after receipt of a claim by the plan administrator (or within 180 days if
special circumstances require an extension of time), the plan administrator
shall notify the claimant of his decision with regard to the claim.  In the
event of such special circumstances requiring an extension of time, there shall
be furnished to the claimant prior to expiration of the initial 90-day period
written notice of the extension, which notice shall set forth the special
circumstances and the date by which the decision shall be furnished.  If such
claim shall be wholly or partially denied, notice thereof shall be in writing
and worded in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and shall
set forth: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (ii) specific
reference to pertinent provisions of the plan on which the denial is based;
(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the
claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or
information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the procedure for review
of the denial.  If the plan administrator fails to notify the claimant of the
decision in a timely manner, the claim shall be deemed denied as of the close
of the initial 90-day period (or the close of the extension period, if
applicable).

                 16.3     PROCEDURE FOR REVIEW:  Within 60 days following
receipt by the claimant of notice denying his claim, in whole or in part, or,
if such notice shall not be given, within 60 days following the latest date on
which such notice could have been timely given, the claimant shall appeal
denial of the claim by filing a written application for review with the
Committee.  Following such request for review, the Committee shall fully and
fairly review the decision denying the claim.  Prior to the decision of the
Committee, the claimant shall be given an opportunity to review pertinent
documents and to submit issues and comments in writing.


                                       66
<PAGE>   118

                 16.4     DECISION ON REVIEW:  The decision on review of a
claim denied in whole or in part by the plan administrator shall be made in the
following manner:

                 16.4.1   Within 60 days following receipt by the Committee of
         the request for review (or within 120 days if special circumstances
         require an extension of time), the Committee shall notify the claimant
         in writing of its decision with regard to the claim.  In the event of
         such special circumstances requiring an extension of time, written
         notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to
         the commencement of the extension.  If the decision on review is not
         furnished in a timely manner, the claim shall be deemed denied as of
         the close of the initial 60-day period (or the close of the extension
         period, if applicable).

                 16.4.2   With respect to a claim that is denied in whole or in
         part, the decision on review shall set forth specific reasons for the
         decision, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by
         the claimant, and shall cite specific references to the pertinent plan
         provisions on which the decision is based.

                 16.4.3   The decision of the Committee shall be final and
         conclusive.

                 16.5     ACTION BY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CLAIMANT:  All
actions set forth in this Section 16 to be taken by the claimant may likewise
be taken by a representative of the claimant duly authorized by him to act in
his behalf on such matters.  The plan administrator and the Committee may
require such evidence as either may reasonably deem necessary or advisable of
the authority to act of any such representative.

                 SECTION 17.      PREVIOUSLY EXISTING QUALIFIED PLANS OF THE
                                  EMPLOYER:

                 By so designating in the Adoption Agreement, adoption of the
plan shall amend and supersede in its entirety a previously existing defined
contribution plan of the Employer which is qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code immediately prior to such adoption, as evidenced by a current
favorable determination letter or opinion letter issued by the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue or his delegate (which previously existing plan shall be
referred to herein as the "prior plan").  Adoption of the instant plan shall be
deemed to amend and supersede the prior plan and shall not be deemed to be a
termination thereof.  Except as permitted by regulations, no plan amendment or
transaction having the effect of a plan amendment shall be effective if it
eliminates or reduces any benefit protected under Section 411(d)(6) of the
Code, or adds or modifies conditions relating to Section 411(d)(6) protected
benefits, the result of which is a further restriction on such benefit, unless
such protected benefits are preserved with respect to benefits accrued as of
the later of the adoption date or effective date of the amendment.  In applying
the provisions of Section 5.2 following adoption of this plan, each participant
in this plan on the effective date of adoption of this plan who was a
participant in the prior plan immediately before such effective date shall have
a vested percentage in his accrued benefit which shall not be less than the
percentage of his benefit in the prior plan which would have been vested in him
if the prior plan had continued in effect through the adjustment date for the
plan year in which the vested percentage is being determined.

                 SECTION 18.      SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFERS FROM
                                  QUALIFIED PLANS:

                 With the written approval of the Committee in accordance with
procedures approved by the Committee, the Trustee shall receive and hold, as a
part of the trust fund, assets (hereinafter referred to as the "transferred
assets," which shall be deemed to include all increments allocable to such


                                       67
<PAGE>   119

transferred assets) transferred directly from the trustee or custodian of any
other retirement plan (hereinafter referred to as the "transferor plan") which
is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.  Such transferred assets may
include cash or other types of property allowed as an investment under the
plan.  In applying the provisions of this Section 18, the following special
provisions shall apply:

                 18.1     CERTAIN TRANSFERS TO THE PLAN NOT PERMITTED:  The
Committee shall not permit nor the Trustee accept any transfer from the trustee
of a defined benefit plan, a defined contribution plan which is subject to the
funding standards of Section 412 of the Code, or any defined contribution plan
that would cause this plan to be the direct or indirect transferee of a plan
which is subject to the joint and survivor annuity requirements of Section
401(a)(11) of the Code, or would otherwise cause this plan to become subject to
such requirements.

                 18.2     NONFORFEITABILITY OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS:  The
transferred assets and all rights to or derived therefrom shall be at the time
of the transfer and at all times thereafter fully nonforfeitable and vested in
the respective participants (and in the proportions) to whom such transferred
assets had been allocated under the transferor plan.

                 18.3     PROTECTED BENEFITS UNDER SECTION 411(d)(6) OF THE
CODE:  The protected benefits of the transferor plan, as defined in Section
411(d)(6) of the Code, shall be preserved with respect to the direct transfer
account of each participant.

                 18.4     LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE:  The Trustee under this plan
shall not be liable or responsible for any acts or omissions in the
administration of any transferor plan and the trust thereunder of any other
person or entity who was trustee, custodian, or other fiduciary under any such
transferor plan, and the Trustee shall be held harmless from such liability or
responsibility.

                 18.5     SEPARATE ACCOUNTS:  The Trustee shall keep a separate
and identifiable account with respect to the transferred assets of each
participant (which may be commingled for investment purposes with other assets
of the trust), designated as the "direct transfer account."  The direct
transfer account of each participant shall be adjusted in the manner specified
in Section 7.

                 18.6     GENERAL:  To the extent not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Section 18, the Committee may promulgate rules or by-laws
supplementing and implementing the provisions of this Section 18.

                 SECTION 19.      ROLLOVERS:

                 19.1     ACCEPTANCE OF ROLLOVERS BY THIS PLAN:  To the extent
elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, an employee or participant
who receives, or deemed to receive, a distribution of all or part of his
interest from another retirement plan which is qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Code on the date of such distribution may, with the written consent of
the Committee and in accordance with procedures approved by the Committee,
transfer all or a part of such distribution to the Trustee under this plan.
The amount so transferred may include cash or other types of property allowed
as an investment under the plan.  In applying the provisions of this Section
19, the following special provisions shall apply:

                 19.1.1   The transfer to the Trustee must occur on or before
         the 60th day following the receipt by the employee or participant of
         such distribution or, if such distribution has previously been
         deposited in an individual retirement account or individual retirement
         annuity (as defined in Section 408 of the Code), the transfer must


                                       68
<PAGE>   120

         occur on or before the 60th day following the receipt by the employee
         or participant of the balance to his credit under such individual
         retirement account or individual retirement annuity.

                 19.1.2   For distributions made to the employee or participant
         prior to January 1, 1993, the distribution must be a qualified total
         distribution within the meaning of Section 402(a)(5)(E)(i) of the
         Code.  For distributions made to the employee or participant after
         December 31, 1992, the distribution must be an eligible rollover
         distribution within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code.

                 19.1.3   The amount transferred to the Trustee is limited to
         the maximum rollover amount as provided in Section 402(a)(5)(B) of the
         Code (Section 402(c)(2) of the Code for distributions made to an
         employee or participant after December 31, 1992).

                 19.1.4   The amount transferred to the Trustee shall be
         credited to a separate account with respect to the employee or
         participant, designated as the "rollover account."  With respect to
         each rollover account, the following special provisions shall apply:

                          (i)     Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below,
                 each rollover account shall be adjusted in the manner
                 specified in Section 7.

                          (ii)    Each employee or participant having a
                 rollover account shall have a nonforfeitable interest therein.

                          (iii)   Except as otherwise provided in this Section
                 19, the assets in the rollover account shall be administered
                 by the Trustee in the same manner as other trust assets.
                 Assets of the rollover account may be commingled for
                 investment with other assets of the trust fund; provided, that
                 with respect to a rollover contribution made other than on an
                 adjustment date, such contribution shall not be commingled
                 until immediately following the next adjustment date, and for
                 the period preceding such adjustment date the rollover account
                 of an employee or participant shall be adjusted under Section
                 7 as if such account constituted the entire trust fund.

                 19.1.5   If an eligible employee shall be permitted under the
         Adoption Agreement to make such a transfer prior to his completion of
         the participation requirements of Section 1.40, his rollover account
         shall represent his sole interest in the plan until he becomes a
         participant.

                 19.2     ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS:  This Section 19.2 shall be
effective with respect to distributions made to a participant or beneficiary
after December 31, 1992.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 19.2, a
participant who becomes entitled to receive a distribution of all or part of
his account may, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee, elect
to have such distribution treated as a rollover distribution and transferred by
the Trustee directly to the trustee or custodian of another retirement plan or
individual retirement arrangement (the "transferee plan").  In applying the
provisions of this Section 19.2, the following provisions shall apply:

                 19.2.1   The distribution to be made to the participant must
         be an eligible rollover distribution within the meaning of Section
         402(c)(4) of the Code.


                                       69
<PAGE>   121

                 19.2.2   The amount transferred to the transferee plan may not
         exceed the amount that would otherwise be includable in the gross
         income of the participant if not transferred as provided in this
         Section 19.2.

                 19.2.3   The transferee plan must be an eligible retirement
         plan within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31)(D) of the Code.

                 19.2.4   The election provided for in this Section 19.2 shall
         also apply to (i) the surviving spouse of a participant who becomes
         entitled to receive a distribution from the plan upon the death of the
         participant, and (ii) the spouse or former spouse of a participant who
         becomes entitled to receive a distribution from the plan pursuant to a
         qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of Section
         414(p) of the Code).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a surviving
         spouse of a participant may only elect to have an eligible rollover
         distribution transferred directly to the trustee or custodian of an
         individual retirement arrangement that qualifies as an eligible
         retirement plan under Section 401(a)(31)(D) of the Code.

                 19.2.5   At least 30 days, but no more than 90 days, before a
         distribution is to be made from a participant's account, the plan
         administrator shall provide the participant or other distributee with
         a written statement advising him of his rights under this Section
         19.2, and of the requirement that federal income taxes be withheld on
         the distribution if he does not elect to have the distribution
         transferred directly to a transferee plan.  The written statement
         shall contain such other information as is required by Section 402(f)
         of the Code.

                 19.2.6   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
         19.2 to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 19.2 shall at all
         times be construed and enforced according to the requirements of
         Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, as the same may be amended from time
         to time.

                 fund shall be referred to herein as an "investment fund" and
                 collectively as "investment funds."  Assets transferred to an
                 investment fund shall be invested and reinvested by the
                 Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 20.

                          (xix)   When and to the extent directed by the

                 trust in a group annuity or guaranteed investment contract
                 issued by a legal reserve life insurance company; provided,
                 that if the Trustee requests, the Employer shall provide the
                 Trustee with satisfactory indemnification against any loss,
                 damage or expense (including expenses of defense) incurred by
                 the Trustees with respect to such investment.

                          (xx)    At the direction of the Board, to appoint a
                 custodian designated by the Board who shall have the authority
                 and responsibilities set forth in Section 12.1.6.

                          (xxi)   To do all acts and to exercise any and all
                 powers, although not specifically set forth herein, as the
                 Trustee may deem are for and in the best interest of the plan,
                 the participants, and beneficiaries.

                 20.1.2   In carrying out the powers and duties specified in
         Section 20.1.1 regarding the investment and reinvestment of trust
         assets, the Trustee shall consider any general investment guidelines
         which may be communicated to the Trustee from time to time by the
         Committee; provided, that the Trustee shall not be required or
         obligated to follow any such general guidelines, and all investment
         decisions shall be the sole responsibility of the Trustee unless
         specifically provided to the contrary in the trust agreement or the
         plan.

                 20.1.3   The Board may at any time direct the Trustee to
         segregate all or a specified portion of the trust assets into a
         separate fund (the "directed fund") and invest it in accordance with
         the directions of one or more investment managers appointed by the
         Board, subject to the following provisions:

                          (i)     Any investment manager so appointed shall be
                 (a) registered as an investment advisor under the Investment
                 Advisers Act of 1940; (b) a bank, as defined in the Investment
                 Advisers Act of 1940; or (c) an insurance company qualified
                 under the laws of more than one state to manage, acquire, and
                 dispose of assets of the trust under the plan.

                          (ii)    The Board shall deliver to the Trustee a copy
                 of a written acknowledgement by the investment manager that it
                 meets the requirements of paragraph (i), that it is a
                 fiduciary with respect to the plan, and that it has accepted
                 appointment as an investment manager.  The Trustee shall be
                 protected in assuming that the appointment of an investment
                 manager remains in effect until the Trustee shall be notified


                                       73
<PAGE>   125

                 in writing by the Board that such investment manager has been
                 removed or has resigned.

                          (iii)   The Trustee shall invest and reinvest the
                 directed funds only to the extent and in the manner directed
                 by the investment manager.  If the Trustee has not received
                 instructions from an investment manager with respect to the
                 investment of all or a part of the directed fund, the Trustee
                 shall invest such amounts in interest bearing obligations
                 having maturities of 90 days or less, or in a common fund
                 comprised substantially of such obligations, until directed
                 otherwise by the investment manager.

                          (iv)    Any investment manager may from time to time
                 issue orders for the purchase or sale of securities directly
                 to a broker or dealer, and the Trustee, upon direction from
                 the investment manager, shall execute and deliver appropriate
                 trading authorization.  Written notice of the issuance of each
                 order and of execution of each order shall be authority to the
                 Trustee to receive securities purchased against payment
                 therefor and to deliver securities sold against receipt of the
                 proceeds therefrom, as the case may be.

                          (v)     Upon removal or resignation of an investment
                 manager, and pending appointment of a substitute investment
                 manager, the Trustee shall invest any uninvested cash in the
                 manner described in paragraph (iii), and shall not sell or
                 liquidate any investments of the directed fund.

                          (vi)    No plan fiduciary other than an investment
                 manager shall be liable for any act or omission of such
                 investment manager unless such fiduciary participates
                 knowingly in, or knowingly undertakes to conceal, such act or
                 omission which such fiduciary knows to be a breach of the
                 fiduciary responsibility of the investment manager with
                 respect to the plan.  Further, no plan fiduciary other than an
                 investment manager shall be under any obligation to invest or
                 otherwise manage the assets of the plan that are subject to
                 the management of the investment manager and, to the maximum
                 extent permitted by ERISA, the plan fiduciaries other than the
                 investment manager shall have no liability or responsibility
                 for acts or failures to act as directed by the investment
                 manager, or, subject to paragraph (iii), failing to act in the
                 absence of any such direction.

                 20.1.4   Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 20,
         in no event shall the Trustee exercise any powers under the plan in a
         manner that will constitute a prohibited transaction as defined in
         Section 4975 of the Code and in Section 406 of ERISA.

                 20.1.5   Whenever a direction or authorization is required or
         permitted by the plan or trust to be given to the Trustee, such
         direction or authorization shall be duly made by the Trustee's receipt
         of:  (i) a copy of the corporate resolution or resolutions of the
         Board certified by the Secretary of the Employer, in the case of any
         action taken by the Board; (ii) a written instrument signed in the
         name of the Employer, by its President or Secretary, in the case of
         any action taken by the Employer; or (iii) a written instrument signed
         by the duly authorized representative of the Committee, in the case
         of any action


                                       74
<PAGE>   126

         taken by the Committee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee,
         in its sole discretion, may accept such other evidence of the
         direction or authorization or may require such further evidence of the
         direction or authorization as it deems reasonable and necessary.  The
         Trustee shall be fully protected in acting upon any instrument,
         notice, resolution, order, certificate, opinion, facsimile, letter, or
         other document that the Trustee believes to be genuine.  No person
         dealing with the Trustee in any transaction shall be required to
         inquire into the decisions or authority of the Trustee or see to the
         application by the Trustee of any property involved in such
         transaction; provided, that this provision shall not relieve any plan
         fiduciary dealing with the Trustee from fulfilling his fiduciary duty.
         For the purposes of this trust agreement, the "fiduciary duty" of the
         plan fiduciaries (including the Trustee) shall include the obligation
         not to enter into prohibited transactions as described in Section
         20.1.4 and all other duties imposed on plan fiduciaries by the plan,
         the trust, and ERISA.

                 20.1.6   In the management of the trust fund, the Trustee may
         employ agents and delegate to them such ministerial and limited
         discretionary duties as the Trustee shall see fit, and the Trustee
         shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by any such agent
         unless the Trustee shall commit a breach of its fiduciary duty (as
         defined in Section 20.1.5) in the designation of such agent, in
         establishing or implementing a procedure for making such designation,
         or in continuing such designation in effect.  The Trustee may consult
         with counsel of its own selection, who may also be of counsel to the
         Sponsor.  The reasonable compensation or fees charged by all such
         persons for their services shall be deemed to be expenses of
         administration of the trust.

                 20.1.7   All real and personal property taxes, income taxes,
         and other taxes of any and all kinds whatsoever upon or in respect of
         the trust hereby created or any money, income, or property forming a
         part thereof, and all expenses actually and properly incurred in the
         administration of the trust, shall be paid by the Trustee out of
         principal or income of the trust, as the Trustee shall determine;
         provided, that the Employer may, in the discretion of the Board, pay
         any of the expenses incurred in the administration of the trust.  The
         payment out of the trust of any taxes and expenses authorized in this
         Section 20.1.7, and the payment of all other costs, expenses, or
         compensation authorized by this plan to be paid out of the trust,
         shall be deemed to be for the exclusive benefit of the participants
         under the plan.

                 20.2     ACCOUNTINGS:  The Trustee shall keep accurate and
detailed accounts of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and other
transactions and proceedings of the trust and all such accounts and other
records relating thereto shall be open to inspection and audit at all
reasonable times by any person designated by the Board or the Committee.
Within 90 days after the end of each plan year, and at such other times as the
Board may reasonably require, the Trustee shall prepare and deliver to the
Committee a statement of its accounts and proceedings for such plan year.  Each
such statement shall be certified as accurate by the Trustee and, with respect
to the plan year in question, shall contain the following:

                 20.2.1   A statement of assets and liabilities aggregated by
         categories and valued at fair market value as of the close of the plan
         year in question.

                 20.2.2   A statement setting forth changes in the net assets
         available for plan benefits, including a statement of receipts and
         disbursements during the plan year, aggregated by general source and
         application.


                                       75
<PAGE>   127

                 20.2.3   A statement setting forth all assets held for
         investment purposes aggregated and identified by issuer, borrower,
         lessor, or similar party to the transaction, maturity date, rate of
         interest, collateral, par or maturity value, cost, and current fair
         market value.

                 20.2.4   A statement setting forth all loans or fixed income
         obligations which were in default as of the close of the plan year or
         were classified during the plan year as uncollectible, and such
         detailed information with respect thereto as is required by ERISA to
         be included in the annual report to be filed with the Internal Revenue
         Service.

                 20.2.5   A statement setting forth all leases which were in
         default as of the close of the plan year or were classified during the
         plan year as uncollectible, and such detailed information with respect
         thereto as is required by ERISA to be included in the annual report to
         be filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

                 20.2.6   If some or all of the assets of the trust are held in
         a guaranteed investment contract issued by a legal reserve life
         insurance company, such information as is required by the plan
         administrator to comply with the requirement to file an annual report
         with the Internal Revenue Service.

                 20.2.7   A statement setting forth each reportable transaction
         (as defined in ERISA), including such detailed information with
         respect thereto as is required by ERISA to be included in the annual
         report to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

                 20.2.8   If some or all of the assets of the trust are held in
         a common or collective trust maintained by the Trustee, the most
         recent annual statement of assets and liabilities of said common or
         collective trust.

                 20.2.9   Such other information as may reasonably be required
         by the plan administrator to comply with the requirements to file an
         annual report with the Internal Revenue Service.

                 20.3     COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEE:  If the Trustee is a bank or
corporation qualified to serve as a trustee under state law, it shall be
entitled to retain or receive out of the trust fund (subject to the provisions
of Section 20.1.6) as compensation for its services hereunder, compensation in
accordance with its usual schedule of fees in effect at the time of performance
of such services, but not in excess of reasonable compensation for such
services.  If the Trustees are individuals, whether or not employees of the
Employer, they shall not receive any compensation for their services as
Trustees.

                 20.4     RESPONSIBILITIES AND SCOPE OF DUTIES OF TRUSTEE:  The
Trustee hereby agrees to hold in trust and administer the fund hereunder,
subject to all of the terms and conditions of the plan, and to render an annual
accounting as provided in Section 20.2.  The Trustee shall act in accordance
with written instructions or directions of the Committee made in conformity
with ERISA and the terms of the plan, and signed by an authorized
representative of the Committee.  In carrying out such instructions or
directions, the Trustee shall not be obligated to inquire into the purpose or
purposes for such instructions or directions or whether such instructions or
directions are consistent with the plan or are otherwise proper.

                 20.5     FAILURE TO DIRECT TRUSTEE:  If at any time the
Employer or the Committee shall be incapable for any reason of giving
instructions, directions, or authorizations to the Trustee as herein


                                       76
<PAGE>   128

provided, the Trustee may act without such instructions, directions, or
authorizations as it, in its discretion, shall deem appropriate or advisable
under the circumstances for carrying out the provisions of the plan and trust.
The Trustee shall be fully protected with respect to any action taken or
omitted consistent with the terms of the plan and trust or at the direction of
the Employer, the Committee, or any participant or beneficiary pursuant to
Section 8 or Section 9, or any action taken or omitted upon the failure of the
Employer or the Committee to give directions to the Trustee as required or
permitted by the plan and trust.

                 20.6     INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE:  If the Trustee shall be
one or more individuals and not a corporation or banking institution, the
Employer shall indemnify the Trustee, directly from the Employer's general
assets (including the proceeds of any insurance policy, the premiums for which
are paid from the Employer's assets), from and against any and all claims,
demands, losses, damages, expenses (including, by way of illustration and not
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal and litigation costs),
judgments, and liabilities arising from, out of, or in connection with the
administration of the plan or trust (including without limitation, any action
taken or omitted pursuant to directions contained in the plan or trust, at the
direction of the Employer, the Committee, or any participant or beneficiary
pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9, or any action taken or omitted upon the
failure of the Employer or the Committee to give directions to the Trustee as
required by or permitted by this trust or the plan) or the Trustee's fiduciary
duties under the plan or trust, except when the same are judicially determined
to be due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee (the
"exception").  The exception shall not apply with respect to any action or
failure to act by the Trustee if the action or failure to act was directed by
the Employer or the Committee (either directly or by failing to provide
directions when requested).  The Trustee shall notify the Employer of any
claim, demand, loss, damage, expense, judgment, or liability asserted against
the Trustee that may give rise to the right of indemnification provided for in
this Section 20.6 as soon as practicable after the Trustee has actual knowledge
thereof.  With the prior written consent of the Trustee, the Employer shall
have the right, at its expense, to conduct the defense of the Trustee in any
proceeding to which this Section 20.6 applies.  The Employer also agrees to
reimburse the Trustee for any expense (including, by way of illustration and
not limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal and litigation
costs) incurred by the Trustee in enforcing the provisions of this Section
20.6.

                 20.7     MODIFICATION OF THIS SECTION:  An Employer may amend
or modify the administrative provisions of this Section 20 by adopting a
separate trust or custodial account document, provided that such other document
does not cause the plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)
of the Code.  The provisions of such other document shall override any contrary
provisions in this Plan.  This subsection shall not apply, however, if the plan
as adopted by the Employer is a standardized plan.

                 SECTION 21.      QUALIFICATION OF PLAN:

                 21.1     NON-STANDARDIZED PLANS:  If the plan is not a
standardized form plan, the Employer shall promptly submit the plan (including
the Adoption Agreement and all necessary supporting documents), and all
amendments permitted under Section 11.1.2 which are made by the Employer to the
plan, to the Internal Revenue Service with a request for a determination letter
that the plan as applied to the Employer meets the qualification requirements
of Section 401(a) of the Code and that the trust constituting a part of the
plan is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code.

                 21.2     DENIAL OF QUALIFICATION:  Should the Internal Revenue
Service determine pursuant to such initial submission that the plan as applied
to the Employer does not so qualify, the following procedures shall be
followed:


                                       77
<PAGE>   129

                 21.2.1   Notwithstanding any other provisions of the plan, the
         plan as applied to the Employer shall be deemed canceled, the Employer
         shall not be a party to the plan, and no employee of the Employer or
         person claiming under any such employee shall have any right or claim
         to any asset or benefit of the trust fund, except as provided in
         Section 21.2.3.

                 21.2.2   The Trustee shall liquidate the trust of the Employer
         and, after paying or making provision for the compensation of the
         Trustee and any expenses of administration or liquidation of the
         trust, shall pay the balance of the proceeds of such liquidation to
         the Employer.

                 21.2.3   The Employer shall refund to each employee the amount
         of any contribution made by him (or, if less, the amount of such
         contribution then in his account).

                 21.3     NOTIFICATION OF SPONSOR:  The Employer shall promptly
advise the Sponsor should it be notified by the Internal Revenue Service that
the plan as applied to the Employer is no longer qualified as specified in
Section 21.1.  If the plan as applied to the Employer is disqualified, such
plan will no longer participate in this prototype plan and will be considered
an individually designed plan.

                 SECTION 22.      SPECIAL TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS:

                 The following special provisions shall apply and supersede any
conflicting provisions in the plan or Adoption Agreement with respect to any
plan year beginning after December 31, 1983 in which the plan is determined to
be top-heavy:

                 22.1     DEFINITIONS:  The following definitions shall apply
         for purposes of this Section 22:

                 22.1.1   "Determination date" shall mean for any plan year
         subsequent to the first plan year, the last day of the preceding plan
         year.  For the first plan year of the plan, the last day of that year
         shall be the determination date.

                 22.1.2   "Key employee" shall mean any employee or former
         employee (and the beneficiaries of such employee) who at any time
         during the determination period was an officer of the Employer if such
         individual's annual compensation exceeds 50% of the dollar limitation
         under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code, an owner (or considered an
         owner under Section 318 of the Code) of one of the ten largest
         interests in the Employer if such individual's compensation exceeds
         100% of the dollar limitation under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code,
         a five percent owner of the Employer, or a one percent owner of the
         Employer who has an annual compensation of more than $150,000.  Annual
         compensation means compensation as defined in Section 23.5.2, but
         including amounts contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary
         reduction agreement which are excludable from the employee's gross
         income under Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h) or 403(b) of the Code.
         The determination period is the plan year containing the determination
         date and the preceding four plan years.  The determination of who is a
         key employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the
         Code and the regulations thereunder.  A "non-key employee" shall mean
         any employee or former employee who is not a key employee.


                                       78
<PAGE>   130

                 22.1.3   "Permissive aggregation group" shall mean the
         required aggregation group of plans plus any other plan or plans of
         the Employer which, when considered as a group with the required
         aggregation group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of
         Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

                 22.1.4   "Present value" shall mean the present value
         determined by reference to the interest and mortality rates specified
         in Adoption Agreement.

                 22.1.5   "Required aggregation group" shall mean (i) each
         qualified plan of the Employer in which at least one key employee
         participates or participated at any time during the determination
         period (regardless of whether the plan has terminated), and (ii) any
         other qualified plan of the Employer which enables a plan described in
         (i) to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.

                 22.1.6   "Top-heavy plan" shall mean, for any plan year
         beginning after December 31, 1983, this plan if any of the following
         conditions exists:

                          (i)     The top-heavy ratio for this plan exceeds 60%
                 and this plan is not part of any required aggregation group or
                 permissive aggregation group of plans.

                          (ii)    This plan is a part of a required aggregation
                 group of plans but not part of a permissive aggregation group
                 and the top-heavy ratio for the group of plans exceeds 60%.

                          (iii)   This plan is a part of a required aggregation
                 group and part of a permissive aggregation group of plans and
                 the top-heavy ratio for the permissive aggregation group
                 exceeds 60%.

                 22.1.7   "Top-heavy ratio" shall mean the following:

                          (i)     If the Employer maintains one or more defined
                 contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension
                 plan) and the Employer has not maintained any defined benefit
                 plan which during the five-year period ending on the
                 determination date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the
                 top-heavy ratio for this plan alone or for the required or
                 permissive aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the
                 numerator of which is the sum of the accrued benefits of all
                 key employees as of the determination date(s) [including any
                 part of any accrued benefit distributed in the five-year
                 period ending on the determination date(s)], and the
                 denominator of which is the sum of all accrued benefits
                 [including any part of any accrued benefit distributed in the
                 five-year period ending on the determination date(s)], both
                 computed in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the
                 regulations thereunder.  Both the numerator and denominator of
                 the top-heavy ratio are increased to reflect any contribution
                 not actually made as of the determination date, but which is
                 required to be taken into account on that date under Section
                 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

                          (ii)    If the Employer maintains one or more defined
                 contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension
                 plan) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more
                 defined benefit plans which during the five-year period ending
                 on the determination date(s) has or has had any accrued
                 benefits, the top-heavy ratio for any required or permissive
                 aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator
                 of which is the sum of accrued benefits under the aggregated
                 defined contribution plan or plans for all key employees,
                 determined in accordance with paragraph (i) above, and the
                 present value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined
                 benefit plan or plans for all key employees as of the
                 determination date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum
                 of the accrued benefits under the aggregated defined
                 contribution plan or plans for all participants, determined in
                 accordance with paragraph (i) above, and the present value of
                 accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for
                 all participants as of the determination date(s), all
                 determined in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the
                 regulations thereunder.  The accrued benefits under a defined
                 benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the
                 top-heavy ratio are increased for any distribution of an
                 accrued benefit made in the five-year period ending on the
                 determination date.

                          (iii)   For purposes of paragraphs (i) and (ii)
                 above, the value of account balances and the present value of
                 accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent
                 valuation date that falls within or ends with the 12-month
                 period ending on the determination date, except as provided in
                 Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder for the
                 first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan.  The
                 account balances and accrued benefits of a participant (a) who
                 is a non-key employee but who was a key employee in a prior
                 year, or (b) who has not been credited with at least one hour
                 of service with any employer maintaining the plan at any time
                 during the five-year period ending on the determination date
                 will be disregarded.  The calculation of the top-heavy ratio,
                 and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and
                 transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance
                 with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
                 Deductible employee contributions will not be taken into
                 account for purposes of computing the top-heavy ratio.  When
                 aggregating plans, the value of account balances and accrued
                 benefits will be calculated with reference to the
                 determination dates that fall within the same calendar year.
                 The accrued benefit of a participant who is a non-key employee
                 shall be determined under (a) the method, if any, that
                 uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined
                 benefit plans maintained by the Employer, or (b) if there is
                 no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly
                 than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional
                 rule of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.

                 22.1.8   "Valuation date" shall mean the adjustment date
         defined in Section 1.4.

                 22.2     TOP-HEAVY REQUIREMENTS:  Notwithstanding any other
provisions of the plan, the plan must satisfy the following requirements for
any plan year in which the plan is a top-heavy plan:

                 22.2.1   Minimum allocation requirements:  Except as otherwise
         provided in (a) and (b) below, the Employer contributions and
         forfeitures allocated on behalf of any participant who is a non-key
         employee shall not be less than the lesser of three percent of such
         participant's compensation or, in the case where the Employer has no
         defined benefit plan which designates this plan to satisfy Section 401
         of the Code, the largest percentage of Employer contributions and
         forfeitures (as a percentage of the first $200,000 of the key
         employee's compensation) allocated on behalf of any key employee for
         that year.  If the highest percentage of Employer contributions and
         forfeitures allocated to a key employee is less than three percent,
         elective deferrals shall be considered when determining the amount of
         contributions made on behalf of key employees.  The minimum allocation
         is determined without regard to any Social Security contribution.
         This minimum allocation shall be made even though, under other plan
         provisions, the participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive
         an allocation, or would have received a lesser allocation for the
         year, because of (i) the participant's failure to complete 1,000 hours
         of service (or any equivalent provided in the plan), (ii) the
         participant's failure to make mandatory employee contributions to the
         plan, or (iii) compensation less than a stated amount.  For purposes
         of computing the minimum allocation, compensation shall mean
         compensation as defined in Section 23.5.2 of the plan.

                 The provisions of this Section 22.2.1 shall not apply:  (a) to
         any participant who was not employed by the Employer on the last day
         of the plan year, or (b) to any participant to the extent the
         participant is covered under any other plan or plans of the Employer
         and the Employer has provided in Section XVII. B. of the Adoption
         Agreement that the minimum allocation or benefit requirement
         applicable to top-heavy plans will be met in the other plan or plans.
         The minimum allocation required (to the extent required to be
         nonforfeitable under Section 416(b) of the Code) may not be forfeited
         under Section 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D) of the Code.  Neither
         elective deferrals nor matching contributions made by the Employer
         under Section 2 of the plan shall be taken into account for purposes
         of the minimum allocation required under this Section 22.2.1 in the
         event this plan is top-heavy and another plan of the Employer is not
         designated to satisfy the top-heavy requirements of Section 416 of the
         Code.  If any additional contribution is required to be made by the
         Employer on behalf of a participant to satisfy the provisions of this
         Section 22.2.1, such contribution shall be allocated to the
         participant's matching contribution account or discretionary Employer
         contribution account, as determined by the Committee.  The treatment
         of any elective deferrals or matching contributions for purposes of
         the minimum allocation requirement shall be made in accordance with
         Section 1.416-1 of the Income Tax Regulations.

                 22.2.2   Minimum vesting requirements:  For any plan year in
         which this plan is top-heavy, one of the minimum vesting schedules as
         elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement shall automatically
         apply to the plan.  The minimum vesting schedule applies to all
         benefits within the meaning of Section 411(a)(7) of the Code, except
         those attributable to elective deferrals and employee after-tax
         contributions, including benefits accrued before the effective date of
         Section 416 and benefits accrued 


                                       81
<PAGE>   133

         before the plan became top-heavy.  Further, no reduction in vested
         benefits may occur in the event the plan's status as top-heavy changes
         for any plan year.  However, this Section 22.2.2 does not apply to the
         accrued benefits of any employee who does not have an hour of service
         after the plan has initially become top-heavy and such employee's
         accrued benefit attributable to matching contributions, discretionary
         Employer contributions, and forfeitures will be determined without
         regard to this Section.

                 22.2.3   Adjustment to limitations on allocations:
         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 23, if, during any
         limitation year in which this plan is top-heavy, the Employer
         maintains a qualified defined benefit plan covering any participant in
         this plan, the denominator of the participant's defined contribution
         fraction (as defined in Section 23.5.5) and defined benefit fraction
         (as defined in Section 23.5.3) shall be determined by substituting
         "100%" for "125%" each place that it appears in Section 23.5.  The
         provisions of this Section 22.2.3 shall not apply, however, if the
         plan would not be top-heavy for such limitation year if "90%" were
         substituted for "60%" each place that it appears in Section 22.1.6 and
         the minimum contribution allocated to the account of each non-key
         employee who is otherwise entitled to share in the Employer
         contribution for such year is one percent greater than the minimum
         contribution required under Section 22.2.1.

                 SECTION 23.      LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS:

                 Limitations on allocations:  In administering the plan, the
following special provisions shall apply:

                 23.1     LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS:  The following provisions
shall apply if the participant does not participate in, and has never
participated in, another qualified plan, welfare benefit fund defined in
Section 419(e) of the Code, or an individual medical account defined in Section
415(l)(2) of the Code, maintained by the Employer, which provides an annual
addition defined in Section 23.5.1:

                 23.1.1   The amount of annual additions (as defined in Section
         23.5.1) which may be credited to the participant's account for any
         limitation year (as defined in Section 23.5.9) shall not exceed the
         lesser of the maximum permissible amount (as defined in Section
         23.5.10) or any other limitation contained in this plan.  If the
         Employer contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated
         to the participant's account would cause the annual additions for the
         limitation year to exceed the maximum permissible amount, the amount
         contributed or allocated shall be reduced so that the annual additions
         for the limitation year will equal the maximum permissible amount.

                 23.1.2   Prior to determining the participant's actual
         compensation (as defined in Section 23.5.2) for the limitation year,
         the Employer may determine the maximum permissible amount for a
         participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the
         participant's compensation for the limitation year, uniformly
         determined for all participants similarly situated.

                 23.1.3.  As soon as administratively feasible after the end of
         the limitation year, the maximum permissible amount for the limitation
         year shall be determined on the basis of the participant's actual
         compensation for the limitation year.


                                       82
<PAGE>   134

                 23.1.4.  If pursuant to Section 23.1.3 or as a result of an
         allocation of forfeitures there is an excess amount (as defined in
         Section 23.5.7), the excess will be disposed of as provided in the
         Adoption Agreement.

                 23.2     PARTICIPATION IN MULTIPLE REGIONAL PROTOTYPE DEFINED
CONTRIBUTION PLANS:  The following provisions shall apply if, in addition to
this plan, the participant is covered under another qualified regional
prototype defined contribution plan, a welfare benefit fund defined in Section
419(e) of the Code, or an individual medical account defined in Section
415(l)(2) of the Code, maintained by the Employer, which provides an annual
addition as defined in Section 23.5.1 during any limitation year:

                 23.2.1   The annual additions which may be credited to a
         participant's account under this plan for any such limitation year
         shall not exceed the maximum permissible amount reduced by the annual
         additions credited to a participant's account under the other plans
         and welfare benefit funds for the same limitation year.  If the annual
         additions with respect to the participant under other defined
         contribution plans and welfare benefit funds maintained by the
         Employer are less than the maximum permissible amount and the Employer
         contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the
         participant's account under this plan would cause the annual additions
         for the limitation year to exceed this limitation, the amount
         contributed or allocated shall be reduced so that the annual additions
         under all such plans and funds for the limitation year will equal the
         maximum permissible amount.  If the annual additions with respect to
         the participant under such other defined contribution plans and
         welfare benefit funds in the aggregate are equal to or greater than
         the maximum permissible amount, no amount shall be contributed or
         allocated to the participant's account under this plan for the
         limitation year.

                 23.2.2   Prior to determining the participant's actual
         compensation for the limitation year, the Employer may determine the
         maximum permissible amount for a participant in the manner described
         in Section 23.1.2.

                 23.2.3   As soon as administratively feasible after the end of
         the limitation year, the maximum permissible amount for the limitation
         year shall be determined on the basis of the participant's actual
         compensation for the limitation year.

                 23.2.4   If, pursuant to Section 23.2.3 or as a result of the
         allocation of forfeitures, a participant's annual additions under this
         plan and such other plans would result in an excess amount for a
         limitation year, the excess amount shall be deemed to consist of the
         annual additions last allocated, except that annual additions
         attributable to a welfare benefit fund or individual medical account
         will be deemed to have been allocated first regardless of the actual
         allocation date.

                 23.2.5   If an excess amount was allocated to a participant on
         an adjustment date of this plan which coincides with an adjustment
         date of another plan, the excess amount attributed to this plan will
         be the product of (A) multiplied by (B), where (A) is the total excess
         amount allocated as of such date, and (B) is the ratio of (i) the
         annual additions allocated to the participant for the limitation year
         as of such date under this plan to (ii) the total annual additions
         allocated to the participant for the limitation year as of such date
         under this and all other qualified regional prototype defined
         contribution plans.


                                       83
<PAGE>   135

                 23.2.6   Any excess amount attributed to this plan will be
         disposed in the manner described in Section 23.1.4.

                 23.3     PARTICIPATION IN TWO OR MORE DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
PLANS:  If the participant is covered under another qualified defined
contribution plan maintained by the Employer which is not a regional prototype
plan (as defined in Section 23.5.12), annual additions which may be credited to
the participant's account under this plan for any limitation year shall be
limited in accordance with Sections 23.2.1 through 23.2.6 as though the other
plan were a regional prototype plan unless the Employer provides other
limitations in the Adoption Agreement.

                 23.4     PARTICIPATION IN THIS PLAN AND A DEFINED BENEFIT
PLAN:  If the Employer maintains, or at any time maintained, a qualified
defined benefit plan covering any participant in this plan, the sum of the
participant's defined benefit fraction (as defined in Section 23.5.3) and
defined contribution fraction (as defined in Section 23.5.5) shall not exceed
1.0 in any limitation year.  The annual additions which may be credited to the
participant's account under this plan for any limitation year shall be limited
in accordance with the Adoption Agreement.

                 23.5     DEFINITIONS:  For purposes of this Section 23, the
following definitions shall apply:

                 23.5.1   "Annual additions" shall mean the sum of the
         following amounts credited to a participant's account for the
         limitation year:

                          (a)     Employer contributions;

                          (b)     forfeitures; and

                          (c)     employee after-tax contributions.

         For this purpose, any excess amount applied under Sections 23.1.4 or
         23.2.6 in the limitation year to reduce Employer contributions will be
         considered annual additions for such limitation year.  Amounts
         allocated, after March 31, 1984, to an individual medical account, as
         defined in Section 415(1)(1) of the Code, which is part of a pension
         or annuity benefit plan maintained by the Employer, shall be treated
         as annual additions to a defined contribution plan.  Also, amounts
         derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in
         taxable years ending after such date, which are attributable to
         post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate account of
         a key employee, as defined in Section 419A(d)(3) of the Code, under a
         welfare benefit fund, as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code,
         maintained by the Employer, are treated as annual additions to a
         defined contribution plan.  Excess contributions (including amounts
         recharacterized as employee after-tax contributions) shall be treated
         as annual additions under the plan.

                 23.5.2   "Compensation" shall mean one of the following as
         elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement:

                          (i)     Information required to be reported under
                 Sections 6041 and 6051 of the Code (Wages, Tips and Other
                 Compensation Box on Form W-2.):  Compensation is defined as
                 wages as defined in Section 3401(a) of the Code and all other
                 payments of compensation to an


                                       84
<PAGE>   136

                 employee by the Employer (in the course of the Employer's
                 trade or business) for which the Employer is required to
                 furnish the employee a written statement under Sections
                 6041(d) and 6051(a)(3) of the Code.  Compensation must be
                 determined without regard to any rules under Section 3401(a)
                 of the Code that limit the remuneration included in wages
                 based on the nature or location of the employment or the
                 services performed (such as the exception for agricultural
                 labor in Section 3401(a)(2) of the Code).

                          (ii)    Section 3401(a) wages:  Compensation is
                 defined as wages within the meaning of Section 3401(a) of the
                 Code for the purposes of income tax withholding at the source
                 but determined without regard to any rules that limit the
                 remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location
                 of the employment or the services performed (such as the
                 exception for agricultural labor in Section 3401(a)(2) of the
                 Code).

                          (iii)   415 safe harbor compensation:  Compensation
                 is defined as 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 maintaining the plan (including,
                 but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen, compensation
                 for services on the basis of a percentage of profits,
                 commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe
                 benefits, and reimbursements or other expenses allowances
                 under a nonaccountable plan (as described in Section 1.62-2(c)
                 of the Income Tax Regulations), and excluding the following:

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

                                  (b)      Amounts realized from the exercise
                          of a non-qualified 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;

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

                                  (d)      Other amounts which receive special
                          tax benefits, contributions made by the Employer
                          (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement)
                          toward the purchase of an annuity contract described
                          in Section


                                       85
<PAGE>   137

                          403(b) of the Code (whether or not the contributions
                          are actually excludable from the gross income of the
                          employee).

                 For limitation years beginning after December 31, 1991, for
                 purposes of applying the limitations of this Section 23,
                 compensation for a limitation year is the compensation
                 actually paid or made available during such limitation year.
                 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, compensation for a
                 participant in a defined contribution plan who is permanently
                 and totally disabled (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the
                 Code) is the compensation such participant would have received
                 for the limitation year if the participant had been paid at
                 the rate of compensation paid immediately before becoming
                 permanently and totally disabled; such imputed compensation
                 for the disabled participant may be taken into account only if
                 the participant is not a highly compensated employee (as
                 defined in Section 414(q) of the Code) and contributions made
                 on behalf of such participant are nonforfeitable when made.

                 23.5.3   "Defined benefit fraction" shall mean a fraction, the
         numerator of which is the sum of the participant's projected annual
         benefits (as defined in Section 23.5.11) under all the defined benefit
         plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer, and the
         denominator of which is the lesser of 125% of the dollar limitation
         determined for the limitation year under Sections 415(b) and (d) of
         the Code or 140% of the highest average compensation (as defined in
         Section 23.5.8), including any adjustments under Section 415(b) of the
         Code.  Notwithstanding the above, if the participant was a participant
         as of the first day of the first limitation year beginning after
         December 31, 1986, in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by
         the Employer which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the denominator
         of this fraction shall not be less than 125% of the sum of the annual
         benefits under such plans which the participant had accrued as of the
         close of the last limitation year beginning before January 1, 1987,
         disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of the plan after
         May 5, 1986.  The preceding sentence applies only if the defined
         benefit plans individually and in the aggregate satisfied the
         requirements of Section 415 of the Code for all limitation years
         beginning before January 1, 1987.

                 23.5.4   "Defined contribution dollar limitation" shall mean
         $30,000 or, if greater, 25% of the defined benefit dollar limitation
         set forth in Section 415(b)(1) of the Code as in effect for the
         limitation year.

                 23.5.5   "Defined contribution fraction" shall mean a
         fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the annual additions to
         the participant's account under all the defined contribution plans
         (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer for the current
         and all prior limitation years (including the annual additions
         attributable to the participant's employee after-tax contributions to
         all defined benefit plans, whether or not terminated, maintained by
         the Employer, and the annual additions attributable to all welfare
         benefit funds defined in Section 419(e) of the Code, and individual
         medical accounts defined in Section 415(l)(2) of the Code, maintained
         by the Employer), and the denominator of which is the sum of the
         maximum aggregate amounts for the current and all prior limitation
         years of service with the Employer (regardless of whether a defined
         contribution plan was maintained by the Employer).  The maximum
         aggregate amount


                                       86
<PAGE>   138

         in any limitation year is the lesser of 125% of the dollar limitation
         in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code or 35% of the
         participant's compensation for such year.  If the employee was a
         participant as of the end of the first day of the first limitation
         year beginning after December 31, 1986, in one or more defined
         contribution plans maintained by the Employer which were in existence
         on May 6, 1986, the numerator of this fraction shall be adjusted if
         the sum of this fraction and the defined benefit fraction would
         otherwise exceed 1.0 under the terms of this plan.  Under the
         adjustment, an amount equal to the product of (A) multiplied by (B),
         where (A) is the excess of the sum of the fractions over 1.0, and (B)
         is the denominator of this fraction, will be permanently subtracted
         from the numerator of this fraction.  The adjustment is calculated
         using the fractions as they would be computed as of the end of the
         last limitation year beginning before January 1, 1987, and
         disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of the plan made
         after May 5, 1986, but using the Section 415 limitation applicable to
         the first limitation year beginning on or after January 1, 1987.  The
         annual addition for any limitation year beginning before January 1,
         1987, shall not be recomputed to treat all employee after-tax
         contributions as annual additions.

                 23.5.6   "Employer" shall mean (for purposes of this Section
         23) the Employer that adopts this plan, and all affiliated employers.
         For purposes of this Section 23, determination of the members of a
         controlled group of employers and employers under common control
         pursuant to Sections 414(b) and (c) of the Code shall be made by
         substituting the phrase "more than 50%" for the phrase "at least 80%"
         where it appears in such Code sections.

                 23.5.7   "Excess amount" shall mean the excess of the
         participant's annual additions for the limitation year over the
         maximum permissible amount.

                 23.5.8   "Highest average compensation" shall mean the average
         compensation for the three consecutive years of service with the
         Employer that produces the highest average.  A year of service with
         the Employer is the 12- consecutive month period defined in Section
         1.62.

                 23.5.9   "Limitation year" shall mean a calendar year or the
         12-consecutive month period elected by the Employer in the Adoption
         Agreement.  All qualified plans maintained by the Employer must use
         the same limitation year.  If the limitation year is amended to a
         different 12-consecutive month period, the new limitation year must
         begin on a date within the limitation year in which the amendment is
         made.

                 23.5.10  "Maximum permissible amount" shall mean the maximum
         annual addition that may be contributed or allocated to a
         participant's account under the plan for any limitation year, which
         shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the defined contribution dollar
         limitation, or (b) 25% of the participant's compensation for the
         limitation year.  The compensation limitation referred to in clause
         (b) of the preceding sentence shall not apply to any contribution for
         medical benefits (within the meaning of Sections 401(h) or 419A(f)(2)
         of the Code) which is otherwise treated as an annual addition under
         Section 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2) of the Code.  If a short limitation
         year is created because of an amendment changing the limitation year
         to a different 12-consecutive month period, the maximum permissible
         amount shall not exceed the defined contribution dollar limitation
         multiplied by the following fraction:

                 23.5.11  "Projected annual benefit" shall mean the annual
         retirement benefit (adjusted to an actuarially equivalent straight
         life annuity if such benefit is expressed in a form other than a
         straight life annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity) to
         which the participant would be entitled under the terms of the plan
         assuming:

                          (i)     the participant will continue employment
                 until normal retirement age under the plan (or current age, if
                 later), and

                          (ii)    the participant's compensation for the
                 current limitation year and all other relevant factors used to
                 determine benefits under the plan will remain constant for all
                 future limitation years.

                 23.5.12  "Regional prototype plan" shall mean a plan which is
         the subject of a favorable notification letter from the Internal
         Revenue Service.

                 SECTION 24.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS:

                 24.1     NOTICES:  Each participant who is not in service and
each beneficiary shall be responsible for furnishing the plan administrator
with his current address for the mailing of notices, reports, and benefit
payments.  Any notice required or permitted to be given to such participant or
beneficiary shall be deemed given if directed to such address and mailed by
regular United States mail, first class, postage prepaid.  If any check mailed
to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing of
checks will be suspended until the participant or beneficiary furnishes the
proper address.  This provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing
of any notice or notification otherwise permitted to be given by posting or by
other publication.

                 24.2     LOST DISTRIBUTEES:  A benefit shall be deemed
forfeited if the plan administrator is unable after a reasonable period of
time, as determined by the Committee, to locate the participant or beneficiary
to whom payment is due; provided, however, that such benefit shall be restored
from current forfeitures if a valid claim is later made by or on behalf of the
participant or beneficiary for the forfeited benefit.

                 24.3     RELIANCE ON DATA:  The Employer, Trustee, and plan
administrator shall have the right to rely on any data provided by the
participant or any beneficiary, including representations as to age, health,
and marital status.  Such representations shall be binding upon any party
seeking to claim a benefit through a participant, and the Employer, Trustee,
and plan administrator shall have no obligation to inquire into the accuracy of
any representation made at any time by a participant or beneficiary.

                 24.4     BONDING:  Each fiduciary shall be bonded for each
plan year to the extent required by ERISA.  The bond shall provide protection
to the plan against any loss by reason of acts of fraud or dishonesty by the
fiduciary alone or in connivance with others.  The cost of the bond shall be an
expense of the trust and shall be paid from the trust fund unless the Board
shall elect for such cost to be paid by the Employer.

<PAGE>   140

                 24.5     RECEIPT AND RELEASE FOR PAYMENTS:  Any payment made
from the plan to or with respect to any participant or beneficiary, or pursuant
to a disclaimer by a beneficiary, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full
satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the plan, the Employer and all
fiduciaries with respect to the plan.  The recipient of any payment from the
plan may be required by the Committee, as a condition precedent to such
payment, to execute a receipt and release with respect thereto in such form as
shall be acceptable to the Committee.

                 24.6     NO GUARANTEE:  The Trustee, the Committee, and the
Employer in no way guarantee the trust fund from loss or depreciation, nor do
they guarantee the payment of any money or other assets from the trust fund
that may be or become due to any person.  Nothing herein contained shall give
any participant or beneficiary an interest in any specific part of the trust
fund or any other interest except the right to receive benefits from the trust
fund in accordance with the provisions of the plan and trust.

                 24.7     HEADINGS:  The headings and subheadings of the plan
have been inserted for convenience of reference and are to be ignored in any
construction of the provisions hereof.

                 24.8     CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT:  The establishment of the
plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal or other rights upon any
employee or any persons for continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere
with the right of the Employer to discharge any employee or to deal with him
without regard to the effect thereof under the plan.

                 24.9     CONSTRUCTION:  The provisions of the plan shall be
construed and enforced according to the laws of the state indicated in the
Adoption Agreement, except to the extent such laws shall be superseded by the
provisions of ERISA.

AGREEMENT


ARTICLE I
PURPOSE

         The general purpose of this Agreement is to provide for harmonious
labor relations between the parties in the operations of the Company's plant,
and to provide the rates of pay, hours of labor and working conditions of the
employees.  A basic principle underlying this Agreement is that each employee
shall give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay.


ARTICLE II
RECOGNITION

         The Company agrees to and hereby recognizes the Union as the sole and
exclusive bargaining agent for all production and maintenance employees of the
Company at its plant at Emory Road, Knoxville, Tennessee, excluding office,
clerical employees, professional employees, guards, watchmen and supervisors as
defined in the National Labor Relations Act.

         If Plasti-Line, Inc., opens and manages another manufacturing plant
and/or warehouse related to its local manufacturing operations within a fifty
(50) mile radius of the Emory Road facility, employees of such new operations
will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.  Jobs at such new
operations will be subject to the posting procedures defined in Article VIII.


ARTICLE III
HOURS OF WORK

SECTION 1 (a).   The normal work day shall be eight and one half hours (8.5) in
total duration.  The normal work week for the standard two shift operation
shall be:

                 First Shift:                      7:00 a.m. Monday
                 Second Shift:                     3:30 p.m. Monday

During the course of the normal work day, two ten minute breaks will be
provided at the Company's expense (times to be established by the Company).
One thirty minute lunch break will be established by the Company (at the
employee's expense).  The final five minutes of each shift shall be set aside
for wash up.

Should the need arise for a normal three shift operation the third shift would
commence at 11:00 p.m. on Sunday night; the first shift starting at 7:00 a.m.
Monday; and the second shift starting at 3:00 p.m. on Monday.  One twenty
minute lunch and one ten minute break would be incorporated into the schedule
at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 1 (b) .  Should the need arise for continuous operations in all or any
part of the plant (continuous operation is defined as seven days per
week/twenty-four hours per day); each shift shall be eight hours in duration.
When the shift is eight hours, the sixth and seventh day will be at a premium
of one and one-half and double the rate of pay, respectively.  Any subsequent
change from an eight hour shift shall be by mutual agreement of the Company and
the Union, and the jobs posted and bid by the contract.

SECTION 1 (c).   Employees shall be allowed a paid ten minute break prior to
starting an overtime work period scheduled to continue into the shift for two
or more hours.
<PAGE>   2

SECTION 1 (d).   When the Company elects to change the start/stop times of the
normal eight-hour work day for an employee or group of employees in a
department, the job(s) affected shall be posted in accordance with the
procedures defined in Section B, Article VIII of this agreement.

SECTION 2 .  Overtime shall be administered as follows:

         (a)     All work in excess of the normal work day for an established
                 job shall be paid at one and one-half the base rate of pay.

         (b)     All work performed on the sixth day of an employee's work week
                 shall be paid at one and one-half times the base rate of pay.

         (c)     All work performed on the seventh day of an employee's work
                 week shall be paid at double the base rate of pay.

         (d)     Overtime will not be pyramided; that is, no employee shall
                 receive overtime pay subject to more than one overtime or
                 holiday provision of this Agreement.

         (e)     For the purpose of this section, the fiscal day for each
                 employee shall be the 24-hour period commencing with the start
                 of his regular shift.  This notwithstanding, if employees
                 start their regular shift early and work only eight (8) hours
                 thereafter, they shall not be entitled to pre-shift overtime
                 for the period from the early start to the beginning of their
                 fiscal day.  If overtime is earned, employees shall be
                 entitled only to post-shift overtime in accordance with (a)
                 above.  Before an employee agrees to start a regular shift
                 early, he shall be informed of the hours to be worked and any
                 subsequent change in hours worked shall be by mutual agreement
                 of the Company and the employee.

         (f)     The Company will notify department Stewards of its overtime
                 needs, specifying the number of employees required per
                 department and the hours to be worked.  The Company will be
                 liable for failure to notify the Stewards.  Overtime needs
                 will be filled from volunteers through the use of the Stewards
                 or Chief Stewards in the respective areas.  The overtime needs
                 for each department will be filled by employees from that
                 department.  The Company may, at its discretion, accept
                 volunteers from other departments to fill overtime needs above
                 the required manning level.  When overtime needs are not
                 filled by volunteers, the Company will require additional
                 employees, on the basis of least seniority first, to work
                 overtime, providing the employee possesses the necessary
                 skills to perform said work.  The Company shall not require
                 overtime for any person in any department or departments for
                 more than fifteen Saturdays in a calendar year of which no
                 more than two are consecutive.  A list of employees scheduled
                 for the Saturday overtime shall be posted by the Union no
                 later than Thursday of each week and a copy given to the
                 Superintendent(s).

                 Any employee so scheduled who does not report for work on
                 Saturday shall be recorded as absent.  Should the Company
                 decide to cancel Saturday overtime it shall post notice not
                 later than the end of the first shift on Thursday.

         (g)     It shall be the general policy of the Company to equalize
                 overtime within job classification where the Company, at its
                 discretion, deems such equalization to be practical.  The
                 Company shall not be liable for failure to equalize overtime.
                 Overtime, subject to the Company's needs and requirements,
                 will be equalized as follows:

                 (1)      Each employee will have an overtime record maintained
                          by the department Steward and posted in the
                          department where the employee works.

                 (2)      When overtime is contemplated, the senior employee
                          within the classification having the least overtime
                          and having the required skill and ability shall be
                          selected for overtime.
<PAGE>   3

                 (3)      New employees, or employees transferring from one job
                          classification to another, shall be started showing
                          one hour more overtime than any employee in the
                          classification in which they are assigned.

                 (4)      All voluntary overtime shall not count towards
                          Company required overtime; and no more than fifteen 
                          Saturdays are required.

SECTION 3 .  Employees shall be paid on Thursday of each week prior to the
scheduled lunch break for their shift where practical, but not later than
quitting time for their shift.  Pay shall be for the prior work week.

SECTION 4 .  Employees whose shift commences at 3:30 p.m. (second shift) shall
receive an additional 15c. per hour shift premium.

SECTION 5 .  Employees whose shift commences at 11:00 p.m. (third shift) shall
receive an additional 20c. per hour shift premium.

SECTION 6 .  An employee who works four (4) hours or more of overtime into a
shift paying a premium shall receive the premium at a rate of one and one-half
times in addition to his overtime pay for said hours, unless the shift he is
working received a higher premium, in which case he would receive the higher
premium.

         (c)     Time off for compensated industrial accidents within one year

                 pro-rata pay shall be based on the schedule set forth in
                 Section 2 of this Article.

SECTION 7.  It is agreed the summer vacation period shall be of one (1) week's

         (a)     If a holiday falls within the shut down vacation period, then
                 the holiday shall be given as an extra day's pay in the
                 employee's last paycheck before shut down.

         (b)     The rate of pay for vacation shall be the employee's regular
                 straight time rate in effect on the last workday in May for 
                 June employees; the 15th of November for December employees

ARTICLE VI

         Any employee who is scheduled or required to report for work on any
day and is not put to work for at least four (4) hours shall be paid the
applicable rate for four (4) hours actual work on that day.  The foregoing
provision shall not apply if the Company is unable to provide work because of a
strike at its plant, break-down of equipment, failure of utilities, fire,
floods, acts of God or if the employee is absent, by his own volition, at the
time that "no work" notice is given.


ARTICLE VII
WAGES

ARTICLE VIII
SENIORITY

         New employees, and those hired after a break in continuity of service
with the Company, shall be regarded as probationary employees for the first 90
calendar days (this may be extended an additional 90 calendar days by mutual
agreement) of their employment, or reemployment, and may be laid off or
discharged without reference to length of service.  Such probationary employees
continued in the service of the Company after actually being on the payroll for
the 90 calendar day probationary period shall have a seniority status according
to their length of service from the date of hiring.  In the event a
probationary employee is laid off, his period of layoff shall not exceed his
time on the payroll, at which time he shall be terminated.

         Probationary employees are not eligible to bid on posted jobs.
Probationary employees may be assigned without any increase in pay so as to
enable the Company to evaluate their capabilities but the jobs they hold shall
be subject to bumping by senior employees.  When a probationary employee
achieves regular employment status, the job held by that employee, if not
previously posted or accelerated, will be posted and that employee may then
bump into such job as his seniority and skill may carry him.

         A.      Seniority shall be administered as follows:

                 1.       Layoffs, due to lack of work, illness or injury of
                          the employee, or other cause not due to the voluntary
                          fault of the employee, shall not constitute
                          interruption of continuous service as those terms are
                          used in this section, and the employee's seniority
                          status shall not be affected by such interruption.

         2.      An employee may be dropped from the service and payroll of the
                 Company for any one of the following reasons:

                          a.      Excessive absenteeism.

                          b.      Failure to report for two regularly scheduled
                                  consecutive shifts to which the employee is 
                                  assigned except when the employee notifies
                                  the Company of the reason he cannot report.
<PAGE>   7

                          c.      When a laid off employee fails to report for
                                  work within five (5) calendar days after
                                  mailing a registered letter, or other
                                  documentable means of communication, by the
                                  Company to the employee's last known address
                                  requesting him to do so.  Within two (2)
                                  working days after receipt of such written
                                  notice to report to work, the employee shall
                                  notify the Company within the five day period
                                  provided herein.

                          d.      Discharge for reasonable cause.

                          e.      If he/she resigns or quits.

                          f.      When an employee has performed no work for
                                  twelve (12) months or a period of time equal
                                  to his length of continuous service whichever
                                  is greater unless failure to perform work was
                                  due to a compensable injury or illness.

         B.      The Company shall post, or accelerate, all vacancies after
                 restoration rights have been exhausted.

                 1.       A copy of this notice shall be given to the Chief
                          Steward.  Such posting will continue for a period of
                          three (3) consecutive days, Saturday, Sunday, and
                          Holidays excluded, and the job will be awarded on the
                          fourth day.  Each employee desiring to bid on said
                          job shall, during such three day period, sign the
                          posted notice and also the copy which will be held by
                          the Chief Steward or the Superintendent of the plant.

                 2.       Until a job or vacancy is permanently filled as
                          hereinafter provided, the Company may fill such job
                          on a temporary basis.  Temporary shall be defined as
                          a period not to exceed twenty (20) regular work days,
                          unless extended in a particular case by mutual
                          agreement, or unless such vacancy is caused by an
                          employee being absent or on vacation.  At the end of
                          the temporary period, the transferred mployee will be
                          returned to the department and/or classification from
                          which he was transferred.  Should the returning
                          employee not be required, due to lack of work, the
                          employee would be considered displaced.  Such a
                          displaced employee may then bump into such job as
                          seniority and skill may entitle the employee.

                 3.       The Company will post jobs for bid or use the
                          acceleration process for vacancies.  The names of the
                          person(s) awarded the job will be posted on the
                          Company bulletin board on the day the job is awarded.
                          The Company may elect to hold a person awarded a job
                          in this manner until his job is filled, but in no
                          case longer than three (3) working days.  A person
                          bumping another employee will, unless changed by
                          mutual agreement, assume that employee's job at the
                          start of his next regularly scheduled shift.  The
                          Company agrees not to reduce or abolish a job for a
                          period of five (5) working days from the day it is
                          awarded and filled.

                 4.       Employees will provide, via a Bumping/Restoration 
                          Preference Form, the Company and their Shop Steward
                          bumping preferences and whether or not they desire to
                          be returned to their home classification in the
                          event of a restoration.

                 5.       When vacancies occur, when new jobs are created, when
                          jobs are abolished or restored, as well as in all
                          cases of increase or decrease in forces, where
                          factors other than seniority are to control, a
                          conference shall be held between the representatives
                          of the Company and the Shop Committee for the Union,
                          during which the parties shall attempt to mutually
                          agree on the future status of the employee or
                          employees involved, and, in making such
                          determination, the following factors shall be
                          considered:
<PAGE>   8


                          a.      Length of continuous service.

                          b.      Relatively equal ability to efficiently
                                  perform the work in question.

                          c.      Application to the job, past performance (in
                                  regard to quality and quantity of work) and
                                  physical requirements of the job.

                 6.       If (b) and (c) are relatively equal, (a) length of
                          continuous service, shall govern.  In the event
                          the representatives of the Company and the Shop
                          Committee for the Union are unable to reach a
                          satisfactory understanding with respect to factors
                          (b) and (c), it shall be the duty of the Company to
                          make such determination; however, in the event the
                          Company gives preference to a junior employee on the
                          basis of such determination and should a senior
                          employee feel that the Company has improperly
                          considered the provisions of factors (b) and (c) in
                          making such determination, such senior employee may
                          file a grievance in accordance with provisions of the
                          Agreement.  In the event such grievance is not
                          satisfactorily settled in accordance with the
                          grievance procedure of the Agreement, and should the
                          Union request that the grievance be submitted to
                          arbitration, as provided for elsewhere in this
                          Agreement, the questions to be determined by the
                          arbitrator shall be whether or not the Company, in
                          making its determination, fully considered all of the
                          provisions of factors (b) and (c) and was clearly
                          unreasonable in its application thereof.

                 7.       Employees will be eligible to accept not more than
                          three awards of posted or accelerated jobs at
                          any level in any calendar year.  Every time an
                          employee is bumped or his job is reduced, he will be
                          granted eligibility to accept an award of a posted or
                          accelerated job in addition to the three awards
                          allowed by the prior sentence.  Not more than three
                          bid award eligibilities shall be carried over from
                          one calendar year to the next.

                 8.       Any employee who is permanently promoted or otherwise
                          changed to a higher job classification, shall assume
                          the rate of pay under the then applicable wage scale
                          for the higher job.  In all cases where an employee
                          is changed to a lower classification other than on a
                          temporary basis, he shall take the rate of the then
                          applicable wage scale of such lower classification.

         C.      Seniority shall be applied and administered as
                 follows:

                 1.       Plant wide seniority is established.

                 2.       When the Company contemplates that a layoff of
                          indefinite duration (three or more work days) is in
                          prospect, it shall attempt to notify employees
                          affected three work days in advance, but shall not be
                          liable in any way for failure in this regard.

                 3.       In any reduction of forces within the plant, layoffs
                          shall be made by seniority, subject to the right of
                          the Company to retain the necessary skills and work
                          crews for jobs remaining to be performed, provided
                          employees can provide evidence of experience and/or
                          skills and they would otherwise be laid off.

                 4.       In the event an employee's job is reduced from
                          his/her classification, the  Company will honor
                          his/her bumping preferences as far as his seniority
                          and skill will allow (i.e., bumping into a skill
                          classification requires having previously held the
                          classification in a qualified status, so long as the
                          job has not materially and substantially changed).
                          Bumping preferences will be documented by each
                          employee for ease of administration.  An employee may
                          amend his/her
<PAGE>   9

                          preference at any time, so long as the bumping
                          process has not commenced.  In the event of a layoff
                          of two work days or less no employee's right to bump
                          shall exist, although during this period employees
                          will be laid off by seniority, providing they have
                          the qualifications to perform the available work.  In
                          the event a more senior employee would be laid off
                          while a qualified junior employee remains in a
                          skilled classification, the senior employee would be
                          given the opportunity to remain employed by
                          demonstrating his/her ability.  The employee would be
                          given a maximum of forty-five (45) days to
                          familiarize himself/herself and reach the     
                          acceptable standards of production and quality.

                 5.       Any employee temporarily transferred to a lower job
                          classification at the direction of the Company shall
                          continue to receive his regular rate of pay.  The
                          person(s) temporarily transferred to a lower (or
                          equal) paying job shall be the junior person(s) from
                          a department or departments determined by the
                          Company.  Any employee who temporarily works three
                          (3) or more consecutive hours in a higher job
                          classification by direction of the Company shall:

                                  a.       Retain his present rate of pay if
                                           such rate is in excess of that of
                                           the higher classification.

                                  b.       Take the rate of the pay of the
                                           higher classification if such rate 
                                           is in excess of his present rate.

                                  c.       On temporary transfer to a higher
                                           paying classification, the senior 
                                           employee(s) in the classification
                                           will be given preference.  On
                                           lateral or lower classification, the
                                           junior man with the ability to
                                           perform the work will be required 
                                           to transfer.

                 6.       An employee protesting his rate of pay for a
                          temporary assignment may process a grievance to the
                          extent and in the manner provided in this contract,
                          and if as a result of such grievance, the Company
                          shall be found in error, arbitrators may award such
                          lost pay as they deem appropriate.

                 7.       Restoration of the work force shall be made as
                          follows:

                                  a.       Each employee maintains a "home
                                           classification".

                                  b.       Upon restoring a reduced
                                           classification, the company will
                                           honor the employee's preference
                                           form.

         D.      The Company will post on its bulletin board a list showing the
                 current seniority standing of each employee and will furnish
                 copies of such lists to the Union Business Manager and/or
                 Business Representative and Chief Stewards.  Revised lists
                 will be posted every four (4) months.  Any appeals from the
                 seniority list as posted must be made within ten (10) regular
                 work days of posting.  Any error on a seniority list will be
                 corrected by the next revision with no penalty to the affected
                 employee(s) in the interim.

                 Upon written request from the Union, the Company will, within
                 three (3) working days, provide the Union with an updated, 
                 current seniority list.

         It is the policy of the Company and the Union that the provisions of
the Agreement shall be applied without discrimination because of race, creed,
religion, color, sex, age, national origin, physical or mental handicap or
disability, or because an employee is a disabled Vet or a veteran of the
Vietnam era.

         Neither the Union nor the Company shall discriminate against any

not later than five (5) work days from the date such grievance occurs, present
his grievance to one of the aforementioned Grievance Committee members in

day after the grievance, or grievances, has been presented to the Company as
herein provided, an earnest effort shall be made to settle such grievance or
differences in the following manner:

         Step 1-- By the Shop Steward and the Company's Supervisor.  The
         Supervisor for the Company shall render a decision in writing within 
         three (3) work days after the grievance is presented, and if the

         section.

         Step 2-- By the Chief Steward, with or without the assistance of an
         authorized representative or representatives of the Union, and the
         Department Superintendent.  The Superintendent shall render a decision
         in writing within three (3) work days after the grievance is
         presented, and if the decision rendered by the Company's
         representative is not acceptable, the grievance shall within five (5)
         working days, at the written request of either party to this
         Agreement, be handled in accordance with Step 3 of this section.

         Step 3-- By the Business Manager and/or Business Representative of the

         representative shall render a decision in writing within five (5) work
         days after the grievance is presented, and if the decision rendered by

         party to this Agreement, be referred to arbitration as provided for
         elsewhere in this Agreement.

C.  Failure by either party to appeal a grievance within the time limit set
forth herein will result in the grievance being considered satisfactorily
settled in accordance with the last written decision rendered by the Company.

grievance is automatically moved to the next step. However, any of the time
limits set forth herein may be extended by mutual consent of the parties
hereto.

D.  Any issue involving the meaning of the alleged violation of the Agreement
may be initiated by either party directly with the other party.  Any issue

immediately by either party to arbitration, as provided for elsewhere in this
Agreement.

ARTICLE XII
ARBITRATION PROCEDURE

A.  The grievance within the scope of the Agreement, which remains unsettled
after having been fully processed pursuant to the provisions of the Grievance

party, provided the request is made within thirty (30) working days after the
final decision has been given under the final step of the Grievance Procedure.

B.  The Company and the Union agree that the parties will meet within seven (7)

parties.

E.  It is agreed that the authority of the arbitrator shall be limited to the

ARTICLE XVI
STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS

A.  The Company agrees not to cause, permit, or engage in any lockout of its
employees during the term of this Agreement except for refusal of the Union to
submit to arbitration in accordance with Article XII, or failure on the part of
the Union to carry out the award of the Board of Arbitration.  The Union agrees
that neither it nor its members, individually or collectively, will, during the
term of this Agreement, cause, permit or take part in any strike, picketing,
sit-down, interference with work in or about the Company's plants or premises,
except for refusal of the Company to submit to arbitration in accordance with
Article XII or failure on the part of the Company to carry out the award of the
Board of Arbitrators.

B.  The Company and the Union agree that the grievance procedures provided
herein are adequate to provide a fair and final determination of all grievances
arising under the terms of this Agreement and, further that remedies and
procedures provided by law shall be the sole and exclusive means of settling
all other disputes between the employees and the Company or between the Union
and the Company.

C.  It is the desire of the Union and the Company to avoid strikes and work
stoppages.  Any employee engaging in any work stoppage, intentional slow-down
of production, or unauthorized strike may be discharged or otherwise
disciplined and a grievance may be processed by such employee under the
grievance procedure afforded by this contract, but only for the purpose of
determining whether or not the employee is engaged in such work stoppage,
intentional slow-down of production, or unauthorized strike.

D.  Sympathy strikes are also forbidden during the life of this agreement.


ARTICLE XVII
SAFETY AND HEALTH

         The Company will make provision for the safety and health of its
employees during the hours of their employment.  There shall be a permanent
Safety Committee consisting of not more than three (3) employees selected by
the Union and an equal number selected by the Company.  This committee which
shall meet monthly, shall investigate, discuss and submit recommendations
calculated to relieve any unsafe working conditions that may exist.  These
recommendations shall be submitted to the Company and it agrees to make
reasonable efforts to improve any safety defect which the Committee may call to
its attention.  No employee will be required to work under conditions where, in
the opinion of the Safety Committee, it would be hazardous or unsafe for him to
do so.

         If an employee bids and is awarded a job and at a later date
performance of such duties becomes detrimental to his health he may, by
presentation of a doctor's certificate to such effect and such other evidence
as the Company may require, be permitted to transfer to any job which such
employee may, by reason of qualification, seniority, and physical fitness be
entitled to fill.

         The Company shall either have a person trained in first aid with
current certification or a nurse on duty during the major shifts.


ARTICLE XVIII
LEAVES OF ABSENCE

A.  Leaves of absence without pay may be granted upon written application when
approved by the Company and the Union Executive Committee where the Company
determines that operations will not be unduly affected, and any employee to
whom such a leave is granted will retain and accumulate seniority during such
leave.  Such leaves of absence may be extended upon joint approval of the above
parties from time to time to cover a period not in excess of one year.

B.  Any employee who is on leave of absence and fails to return within the time
limits, or who accepts employment elsewhere, shall be considered as having
resigned.
<PAGE>   14

C.  Employees on leave of absence shall retain and accumulate seniority during
such leave.

D.  Leaves of absence are of six (6) basic types:

         1.      Personal Leaves - Not to normally exceed (30) days but may be
                 extended beyond 30 days if necessary if six (6) months of
                 Company service has been completed.  The number of and length
                 of personal leaves granted will be determined by joint
                 approval of the parties.

         2.      Non-Occupational Illness or Injury - Not to exceed 18 months.
                 The Company may require a certificate from its doctor before
                 an employee who has been on medical leave of absence is
                 permitted to return to work.

         3.      Occupational Illness or Injury - For the total period of
                 disability or until it is medically determined the employee is
                 able to return to work.  If an employee is placed on a
                 permanent disability rating by the Social Security 
                 Administration or it is medically determined that the 
                 employee is unable to work, the employee shall at that time 
                 be terminated by the Company as being physically unable to 
                 perform his/her job.

         4.      Union Business - Leaves of absence up to three year may be
                 granted for Union activity and seniority shall accumulate
                 during such leave.  However, such leaves will be granted only
                 when requests are made to the Company by the International
                 Union and the Company determines that operations will not be
                 unduly affected. No more than two employees will be approved 
                 for extended leaves to hold an elected office within the local
                 union or the International at any one time.

         5.      Military Leave - The Company will pay employees on Military
                 Leave for the difference between their regular 40 hour per
                 week pay and their Military pay for a period of two (2) weeks
                 per year upon presentation of proper documentation.  Such
                 Military duty must be mandatory and of a temporary nature.

         6.      Family and Medical Leave - Unpaid leave may be taken by
                 eligible employees in accordance with federal law.  The
                 Company has the right to substitute available paid leave
                 (e.g., vacation) for unpaid leave available under this law.

E.  Whenever the Company desires a bargaining unit employee to serve in a
Company position outside the scope of this Agreement, the employee may return
to the bargaining unit and retain his seniority if such decision to return is
made within 60 calendar days after leaving.  After 60 calendar days, unless
extended by mutual consent of the Company and the Union, such employee will no
longer be a member of the bargaining unit.

ARTICLE XIX
GROUP INSURANCE AND PENSIONS

         The Company will continue in effect its present Group Life Insurance
Program and will continue to offer a group health insurance plan with
equivalent benefits to the existing plan with another administrator or carrier.
This health plan shall be maintained and paid for one-half by the Company and
one-half by the employees.  In the event the rates increase, the Company shall
pay for one-half.  Likewise, in the event a rebate is earned, each party shall
be entitled to one-half of such amount.

         An alternate health insurance plan will be offered beginning March 1,
1995.  For the remainder of 1995, the weekly premiums shall be:

                          Employee -               $10.40
                          Employee + One -         $20.25
                          Family -                 $29.94

         In future years, any premium increases (or decreases) shall be shared
one-half by the Company and one-half by the employees.

         During leaves of absence, as provided for in Article XVIII hereof, and
during strikes arising as a result of contract negotiations, employees may
maintain the above insurance program in full force, provided the employees meet
the requirements of the insurance companies.  The cost of the insurance will be
determined by the type of leave of absence as described in Article XVIII-D:

         1.      Personal Leave - The entire cost of the health and life
                 insurance will be borne by the employee and will be paid in
                 advance to the Payroll Department.

         2.      Non-Occupational Illness or Injury - The Company and the
                 Employee will each continue to bear their normal share of the
                 health insurance and life insurance premiums.  The Employee
                 will pay insurance premiums thirty (30) days in advance to the
                 Payroll Department.

         3.      Occupational Illness or Injury - The Company and the Employee
                 will each continue to bear their normal share of the health
                 insurance and life insurance premiums.  The Employee will pay
                 insurance premiums thirty (30) days in advance to the Payroll
                 Department.

         4.      Union Business - The entire cost of the health and life
                 insurance will be borne by the employee and will be paid in
                 advance to the Payroll Department.

         5.      Military Leave - The Company will continue to pay its portion
                 of the health insurance premium and all of the
                 non-contributory life.  The employee will continue to pay the
                 entire cost of the contributory life.  The insurance premiums 
                 will be deducted from the employees' paychecks when they 
                 return from duty.

during the life of this Agreement shall receive a monthly pension of $11.67 for

ARTICLE XX
CHECKOFF

          Upon receipt of a signed individual authorization, in the form agreed
upon between the Company and the Union, from any employee covered by this

in the individual's authorization.  Such deductions shall be made from each
week of said employee's earnings and promptly remitted to the financial
secretary of the union together with an alphabetized list of the names of the

ARTICLE XXI
JURY SERVICE

         Any employee who is kept away from work because of jury duty will be
paid the difference between the jury pay and the regular straight time wages he
would have received (based on regular number of shift hours of straight time
pay) had he worked such day.  Provided that to be eligible for such pay such
employee shall:

A.  Actually be required to be present at court for such jury service during
all or part of his normal work hours.

B.  Notify the Company of his selection for jury duty immediately on receipt of
such notice and shall cooperate fully with the Company in getting himself

performed, setting forth the number of days of jury service and the jury fees
paid to such employee for jury service.

D.  This provision shall be applicable only to involuntary jury service, and no
jury pay shall be paid any employee who volunteers for jury service.

E.  An employee called for jury duty who is working on a shift other than the
first shift shall be transferred to the first shift for the period of his jury
service.


ARTICLE XXII
FUNERAL LEAVE

         All employees will be granted a MAXIMUM of three (3) days pay for lost
work time due to death in the immediate family.  Such pay will be made only for

includes husband, wife, children, mother, father, brother, sister,
mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandparents,
grandparents-in-law, and grandchildren.  It shall be the responsibility of an

proof as the Company may desire, E.G., ATTENDANCE OF FUNERAL,  before payment
for such absence will be made.



ARTICLE XXIII
AMENDMENTS

A.  This Agreement may be amended at any time by an Agreement in writing
executed by the parties hereto, but such shall be made only by mutual

covered by this Agreement during the term of this Agreement as all proposals
heretofore submitted or desired by either party have been negotiated and either
eliminated or agreed upon and incorporated herein.

B.  It is expressly understood and agreed that should any disagreement arise
between the parties with respect to any proposed amendment submitted by either
party in accordance with the provisions of this section, such disagreement
shall not be reviewable under the grievance procedure set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement, nor arbitrable under the arbitration provisions set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement.


ARTICLE XXIV
GENERAL POLICY STATEMENTS

specifically mentioned or changed by or subsequently changed as provided for in

F.  Employees, after reporting to work, may be excused to attend Union
meetings.  Excused absence shall include reasonable travel time to and from the
meeting as well as the actual meeting time.  Such excused absence shall not be
unreasonably withheld but may be declined if it would seriously disrupt the
business.

MCDONALD'S (LOGO)

                         Plasti-Line was selected by McDonald's Corporation 
                           as the sole manufacturer of their new drive-thru
                       menuboard system.  The menuboard will be used at all 
                            new traditional McDonald's restaurants and made 
                           available to existing McDonald's restaurants for 
                                             upgrading their current model.

                          This project represents more than a year's effort 
                          working with McDonald's and key component suppli-
                     ers.  It also represents Plasti-Line's continued move-
                          ment toward cellular manufacturing.  Many depart-
                           ments at both Plasti-Line and American Sign were 
                                         involved in helping to develop the 
                                menuboard system and manufacturing process.

LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS

Nineteen-ninety four proved to be one of the most difficult years in
Plasti-Line's fifty year history.  We believe, however, the year marked a
turning point for our Company.  Among our successes were the progress made on
our business re-engineering project and the significant new business
opportunities developed during the year.  Among our disappointments were the
levels of sales and earnings resulting from reduced demand from several of our
regular customers.

Sales were $77,309,000 in 1994 as compared to $90,362,000 for the prior year, a
decrease of 14.4%.  The Company had a net loss of $4,837,000 in 1994 as
compared to income of $2,854,000 in 1993.  The net loss per share was $1.31 as
compared to net income per share of $.77 in 1993.

Before the write-off of goodwill and the restructuring charge taken in 1994,
operating income before taxes and interest was $1,753,000 which was down
$3,574,000 from the prior year due to lower sales combined with increased
administrative costs associated with the Company's re-engineering project.  The
1994 operating results included pre-tax provisions for a goodwill write-off of
$3,986,000 and a restructuring charge of $2,416,000.  On an after-tax basis,
the impact of these charges was $5,472,000 or $1.48 per share.

During the quarter the Company determined that the goodwill established with
the purchase of American Sign was not recoverable over the remaining 32 year
amortization period.  Given the past and projected performance of this
business, we believe the write-off of the remaining $3,986,000 of goodwill is
appropriate at this time.  Second, the Company took a $1,721,000 charge in the 
fourth quarter to reserve for losses related to "Horizon", the Company's order 
verification product.  Unfortunately while we believe the marketplace is ready 
for such a product, Horizon, designed and developed by a third party vendor, 
had design flaws.  As a result of a study completed during the fourth quarter, 
the Company has determined it should not sell the current product.  We are 
engaged in litigation against this vendor in an effort to recover the loss we 
incurred with this product.  We are also investigating our alternatives for
developing a workable order verification product.

Several actions in 1994 will strengthen us in the future:

- -     First and foremost, our business re-engineering project will strengthen
      our leadership position in our industry.  We expect the return on our
      investment (in excess of $1.5 million in 1994) from this project will
      come in many ways including shorter lead times throughout the business,
      lower costs, improved asset utilization, a more highly trained and
      proactive workforce, and better service to our customers.
- -     We were encouraged by the sales achieved by our West Coast operation,
      Plasti-Line West, which began operations during the first quarter of
      1994.  We expect this business to continue to expand in 1995 and provide
      the groundwork for future Company investments in regional sign businesses
      in other selected regions of the country to service more effectively and
      economically our national customers.
- -     The General Motors Chevrolet Facilities Image program had meaningful
      sales after a number of years of development with this valued customer.
      With over 100 Chevrolet dealerships identified by Plasti-Line in 1994, we
      anticipate increased sales in 1995.
- -     In conjunction with McDonald's Corporation, Plasti-Line has developed a

===========================================================================
</TABLE>                                

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The
provision for depreciation has been calculated using the straight-line method.
The following represent the useful lives over which the assets are depreciated:

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buildings and improvements                                    15 - 40 years 
Machinery and equipment                                        3 -  7 years
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while replacements,
maintenance, and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the
respective assets are expensed currently. When depreciable assets are sold or
retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the earnings for the period.


INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been recorded to reflect the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns based on the difference between the financial and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year
in which the differences are expected to reverse.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue and cost upon completion of sign installation.
If the Company is not installing the signage, revenue is recognized upon
shipment.


PREFERRED STOCK

The Company's authorized preferred stock may be issued from time to time in
series having such designated preferences and rights, qualifications and
limitations as the Board of Directors may determine.

2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

PER SHARE DATA

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding during each period. For purposes of computing common stock
equivalent shares outstanding, shares relating to options have been calculated
using the treasury stock method for the portion of each period for which the
options were outstanding and using the fair value of the Company's common stock
for each of the respective periods.


RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1992 financial
statements to conform to the 1994 presentation.

============================================================================================
</TABLE>

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over fair market value of
net assets acquired in the purchase of American Sign in 1986. American Sign has
not achieved the projected sales and earnings estimated at the time of the
acquisition due to increased competitive pressures, unsuccessful efforts to
replace an aging product line, and management turnover. These conditions have
resulted in reduced earnings and even losses over the last several years. The
Company determined that, without anticipating the benefits of lower costs due
to the business re-engineering currently underway on future projections,
projected results would not support the future amortization of American Sign's
remaining goodwill balance of $4.0 million. Management evaluated the
recoverability of goodwill based on this forecast of future operations and
income over the remaining amortization of the goodwill. Management also
evaluated the recoverability of goodwill based on the discounted value of this
same forecast using a 30 year Treasury bond discount rate. Management projected
flat sales from the four-year historical sales trend and management's estimate
of future sales performance. In the projection, management assumed cost
increases can be recovered in product pricing, no new products will be
introduced that will generate significant incremental sales, and that current
competitive conditions will be unchanged in the projected period. Management
believes that these projected results are representative of American Sign's
future performance without the benefit of the business re-engineering
restructuring. These projections, excluding the effects of goodwill
amortization, indicated that operations through the year 2026 yielded a
cumulative pre-tax loss.  Accordingly, the Company wrote off the unamortized
balance of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 1994.


4 PROVISION FOR RESTRUCTURING COSTS

The 1994 operating results include a pre-tax charge for restructuring of $2.4
million. This charge primarily consists of a $1.7 million charge for inventory
and related costs associated with a fast food restaurant drive-through order
verfication product ("Horizon") at the Company's American Sign subsidiary.

During the fourth quarter, the Company determined the Horizon order
verification system was not viable. The Company is currently engaged in
litigation against the third party designer and manufacturer of the product. In
addition to the Horizon provision, the restructuring charge includes $367
thousand for a loss on abandonment of certain equipment in Knoxville, $167
thousand for severance and outplacement costs related to the business
re-engineering project, and $162 thousand for costs relating to disposal of the
Centerville facility (Note 10).

8  STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has a Stock Incentive Program consisting of a Key Employee Plan and
a Director Plan under which options to purchase up to 350,000 shares of common
stock may be granted. Under the terms of the Key Employee Plan, the Company may
grant options to certain employees of the Company. The option price is equal to
the published bid price of the stock on the date of the grant. The options
become exercisable ratably over four years beginning one year after the date of
the grant and expire in five to ten years. Also included in the Key Employee
Plan are 31,000 shares awarded to certain key managers. These shares are
restricted for ten years from the date of the grant unless earned earlier. The
shares can be earned in years three to ten if certain earnings per share
measures are met. In addition, 47,100 and 6,100 of restricted shares of stock
were purchased by certain key managers during 1992 and 1994, respectively.
These shares, purchased at $4.00 - $5.00 per share, vest two years from the
date of purchase. The Company has accepted notes from these individuals in
payment for this stock with interest paid monthly and principal paid annually
for ten years. The notes receivable for these shares are shown as a reduction
of Stockholders' Equity. Compensation expense of $35,000 was recognized in 1994
for restricted shares awarded and purchased.

Under the Director Plan, the Company has granted non-qualified options to
purchase 25,500 shares to members of its Board of Directors. These options are
priced from $5.00 to $11.00 per share, vest as soon as the director has
completed two years of service, and expire ten years from the date of grant.

Activity and price information regarding the Stock Incentive Program during the
last three fiscal years is as follows:

9  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company maintains a profit sharing plan for salaried employees. The Company
is required to contribute at least three percent of current period net income.
Total contributions were $0 in 1994, $115 thousand in 1993, and $95 thousand in
1992. 

The Company maintains a savings plan available to all salaried employees. 
Each participant may elect to defer up to twelve percent of their annual
compensation. The Company makes an annual contribution equal to one quarter of
the participants' contributions up to a maximum Company contribution equal to
six percent of the participant's compensation. The total contributions were $59
thousand in 1994, $73 thousand in 1993, and $80 thousand in 1992. 

The Company also has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that
covers substantially all hourly employees at the Knoxville location. Benefits
are based on a fixed amount for each year of service. The Company's funding
policy is to annually contribute the maximum amount that can be deducted for
federal income tax purposes.

The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present
value of the projected benefit obligation was 7.5%. The expected long-term rate
of return on assets was 7.5%. Net pension cost included the following
components:

10  CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER LIABILITIES

The Company has become subject to various lawsuits, claims, and other legal
matters in the course of conducting business. The Company, based in part upon
opinions of counsel, believes the outcome of such lawsuits, claims, and other
legal matters will not have a material impact on the Company's future
consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The Company is contingently liable for a $700,000 letter of credit issued
pursuant to a Tax Indemnity agreement related to the Industrial Revenue Bonds.
The Company also has irrevocable letters of credit in the amount of $1,185,477
pursuant to the Company's self-insurance with regard to workmens' compensation.

10  CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER LIABILITIES - CONTINUED

Sales to one automotive customer were 21%, 16%, and 21% of the Company's
sales in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.  Sales to another automotive
customer were 14% of sales in 1992.  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. Concentrations of
credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large
number of customers comprising the Company's base and their dispersion across a
number of different industries, principally automotive, petroleum, banking, and
fast foods.

In October 1991, management determined that current and expected business
conditions indicated the Company had excess manufacturing capacity and, on
March 9, 1992, the decision was made to close the Centerville, Tennessee
manufacturing facility. Operations ceased during 1992. The January 1, 1995 and
January 2, 1994 balance sheets include an accrual of $460 thousand and $392
thousand, respectively, which reflects the remaining estimated disposal costs
of the Centerville facility.


                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PLASTI-LINE, INC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Plasti-Line,
Inc. and Subsidiary as of January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Plasti-Line, Inc.
and Subsidiary as of January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994 and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended January 1, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes in 1992.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993

Net sales decreased $13.1 million (14.4%) due to reduced sales at Knoxville.
Contributing to the lower volume were lower sales to automotive ($5.6 million)
and to bank ($7.2 million) customers due to slower reimage activity in these
markets during 1994. Sales increased in the fourth quarter of 1994 by $2.0
million (9.3%) compared to the same period in 1993 due to an increase in volume
at all locations including the Company's new division, Plasti-Line West.

Income before taxes and interest, excluding the goodwill write-off and the
provision for restructuring charges, was $1.8 million as compared to $5.3
million in 1993. The decrease in income, excluding the goodwill write-off and
the restructuring charge, was due to a reduction in gross profit ($1.7 million)
from lower sales as well as an increase in selling, general and administrative
costs ($2.0 million). Despite the reduction in gross profit as a result of
lower sales, gross profit as a percent to sales improved to 18.4% versus 17.6%
in 1993 largely due to manufacturing performance improvements at both plants.
Selling, general, and administrative costs increased in 1994 versus 1993 due to
$1.5 million in costs associated with the Company's business re-engineering
initiative (expected to be completed in mid 1995) combined with $475 thousand
in costs related to the Company's new division, Plasti-Line

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS - CONTINUED


West. The Company's business re-engineering project is expected to lower costs
by reducing lead times throughout the business, improving working capital
management, increasing manufacturing efficiencies, and reducing salaried
personnel costs.

The loss before taxes and interest was $5.4 million due to a $2.4 million
restructuring charge and $4.0 million goodwill write-off. The $2.4 million
charge for restructuring primarily consisted of a $1.7 million charge for
inventory and related costs associated with its fast food restaurant
drive-through order verification product ("Horizon") at the Company's American
Sign subsidiary. Horizon had been in the development phase for several years at
American Sign. The Company believes there is demand for this type of product;
however, the Horizon unit, designed and manufactured by a third party, has
failed to operate as specified. During the fourth quarter, the Company made the
decision not to sell the current version of this product. The Company is
currently engaged in litigation against the vendor of Horizon in an effort to
recover the loss incurred with this product. In addition to the Horizon
provision, the restructuring charge includes $367 thousand for a loss on
abandonment of certain manufacturing equipment, $167 thousand for severance and
outplacement costs related to the business re-engineering project, and $162
thousand for costs relating to disposal of the Centerville manufacturing
facility.

The 1994 operating results also included a $4.0 million charge representing the
write-off of the remaining goodwill from the American Sign acquisition.
Plasti-Line purchased the stock of American Sign in December 1986 allocating $5
million of the purchase price to goodwill. Since the acquisition, American Sign
has not achieved the sales and earnings levels projected at the time of
acquisition due to increased competitive pressures, unsuccessful efforts to
replace an aging product line, and management turnover. These conditions have
resulted in reduced earnings and even losses over the last several years.
During the fourth quarter, the Company determined, based upon the trend of
operating results, exclusive of the projected benefits of lower costs from the
business re-engineering project currently underway on future projections, that
its projected results would not support the future amortization of the
remaining goodwill balance of $4 million.

Interest expense of $712 thousand increased $28 thousand or 4.1% from the prior
year. This was due to increased interest rates and borrowings under the
Company's revolving line of credit. The Company's effective tax rate for 1994
was -9.8% of pre-tax income as compared to 38.5% for 1993. The 1994 rate was
primarily due to the net loss combined with an increase in non-deductible
expenses associated with the goodwill write-off.

The Company's current supply contract with General Motors expires December 31,
1995. In 1994, this customer represented 21% of the Company's total sales.


FISCAL YEAR 1993 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1992

Net sales for 1993 increased by $7.1 million from 1992, an increase of 8.6%.
The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume to fast food and banking
customers. Sales volume decreased in the fourth quarter of 1993 as compared to
the same period in 1992 by $6.1 million or 21.9%. This was due to decreased
sales volume at both locations.

Income before taxes, interest, and the cumulative effect of an accounting
change was $5.3 million, an increase of $689 thousand or 14.9% from the prior
year. The income increase was primarily due to the increase in sales volume
discussed above. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage
of sales decreased in fiscal 1993 to 12.6% as compared to 13.5% in 1992. This
was due to the non-recurrence of managerial bonuses paid in 1992. Partially
offsetting the decrease was the investment in the Horizon project. Gross profit
margins remained flat at 17.6% as compared to 17.7% in 1992. Interest expense
of $684 thousand increased $52 thousand or 8.2% from the prior year. This was
due to increased borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit. The
Company's effective tax rate for 1993 was 38.5% of pre-tax income as compared
to 40.5% for 1992. The lower 1993 rate was primarily due to lower state income
taxes combined with an increase in pre-tax income relative to non-deductible
expenses.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company made capital expenditures of $2.5 million in 1994 and $2.0 million
in 1993. The Company has met its capital requirements with funds generated from
operations and funds from the Company's line of credit. The Company has an
unsecured revolving loan agreement in the amount of $10 million. At January 1,
1995, the Company had a $6.7 million balance outstanding on this revolving loan
as compared to a $471 thousand balance at the end of fiscal 1993. In addition,
the Company had a balance of $609 thousand in cash, cash equivalents, and
marketable securities. The Company had working capital of $23.3 million at
January 1, 1995 as compared to $18.7 million at the end of fiscal 1993. Funds
of $3.0 million were used in operating activities during 1994 primarily as a
result of increased receivable and inventory levels. Investing activities used
$2.6 million during 1994. Capital expenditures net of marketable security
activity were the use of funds from investing activities. Financing activities
provided $5.6 million during 1994. Net borrowings under the revolving line of
credit primarily provided funds from financing activities. The Company's future
capital expenditures will relate principally to the acquisition of new
machinery and equipment and furniture and fixtures designed to increase
productivity and efficiency. The Company believes the cash generated from
operations and funds available under the existing line of credit are sufficient
for all planned operating and capital requirements.


SEASONALITY

The Company's sales exhibit limited seasonality with sales in the first quarter
generally being the lowest and fourth quarter sales the highest. First quarter
sales tend to be relatively lower because of weather constraints which slow
down customers' construction schedules and their pattern of sign purchases.
Sales have normally accelerated in the second, third, and fourth quarters
corresponding with accelerating construction schedules.
