                                AMENDMENT TO THE

                   OLDCASTLE SOUTHWEST 401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN
















                                    ARTICLE I
                                    PREAMBLE

     1.1 Adoption and effective date of amendment. This amendment of the plan is
adopted to reflect  certain  provisions  of the  Economic  Growth and Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA").  This amendment is intended as good faith
compliance with the  requirements of EGTRRA and is to be construed in accordance
with EGTRRA and guidance issued thereunder.  Except as otherwise provided,  this
amendment  shall  be  effective  as of the  first  day of the  first  plan  year
beginning after December 31, 2001.

     1.2 Adoption by prototype  sponsor.  Except as otherwise  provided  herein,
pursuant  to Section  5.01 of Revenue  Procedure  2000-20  (or  pursuant  to the
corresponding  provision in Revenue  Procedure 89-9 or Revenue Procedure 89-13),
the sponsor hereby adopts this amendment on behalf of all adopting employers.

     1.3 Supersession of inconsistent provisions. This amendment shall supersede
the provisions of the plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent  with
the provisions of this amendment.

                                   ARTICLE II
                          ADOPTION AGREEMENT ELECTIONS


     The  questions  in this  Article II only need to be  completed  in order to
override  the  default  provisions  set  forth  below.  If all  of  the  default
provisions will apply, then these questions should be skipped.

     Unless the employer  elects  otherwise  in this  Article II, the  following
defaults apply: 1) The vesting schedule for matching  contributions  will be a 6
year graded  schedule (if the plan currently has a graded schedule that does not
satisfy  EGTRRA) or a 3 year cliff  schedule (if the plan  currently has a cliff
schedule  that does not satisfy  EGTRRA),  and such  schedule  will apply to all
matching  contributions  (even  those  made  prior to 2002).  2)  Rollovers  are
automatically  excluded in  determining  whether the $5,000  threshold  has been
exceeded for  automatic  cash-outs  (if the plan is not subject to the qualified
joint and survivor annuity rules and provides for automatic cash-outs).  This is
applied to all participants regardless of when the distributable event occurred.
3) The suspension period after a hardship  distribution is made will be 6 months
and this will only apply to hardship  distributions made after 2001. 4) Catch-up
contributions  will be  allowed.  5) For target  benefit  plans,  the  increased
compensation  limit of $200,000 will be applied  retroactively  (i.e.,  to years
prior to 2002).

     2.1 Vesting Schedule for Matching Contributions

     If there are matching contributions subject to a vesting schedule that does
not satisfy EGTRRA,  then unless  otherwise  elected below, for participants who
complete an hour of service in a plan year  beginning  after  December 31, 2001,
the following vesting schedule will apply to all matching  contributions subject
to a vesting schedule:

     If the plan has a graded  vesting  schedule  (i.e.,  the  vesting  schedule
includes  a vested  percentage  that is more  than 0% and less  than  100%)  the
following will apply:

Years of vesting service                               Nonforfeitable percentage
        2                                                     20%
        3                                                     40%
        4                                                     60%
        5                                                     80%
        6                                                    100%

     If the  plan  does  not  have a  graded  vesting  schedule,  then  matching
contributions  will be nonforfeitable  upon the completion of 3 years of vesting
service.

     In lieu of the above vesting  schedule,  the employer  elects the following
schedule:

     a. [ ] 3 year cliff (a participant's  accrued benefit derived from employer
matching contributions shall be nonforfeitable upon the participant's completion
of three years of vesting service).

     b. [ ] 6 year graded  schedule (20% after 2 years of vesting service and an
additional 20% for each year thereafter).

     c. [ ] Other (must be at least as liberal as a. or the b. above):

Years of vesting service                              Nonforfeitable percentage

     ----------                                            ----------%
     ----------                                            ----------%
     ----------                                            ----------%
     ----------                                            ----------%
     ----------                                            ----------%

     The vesting  schedule set forth herein shall only apply to participants who
complete an hour of service in a plan year  beginning  after  December 31, 2001,
and,  unless  the  option  below  is  elected,   shall  apply  to  all  matching
contributions subject to a vesting schedule.

     d. [ ] The vesting schedule will only apply to matching  contributions made
in plan years  beginning  after December 31, 2001 (the prior schedule will apply
to matching contributions made in prior plan years).

     2.2  Exclusion  of  Rollovers  in  Application   of  Involuntary   Cash-out
Provisions  (for  profit  sharing  and 401(k)  plans  only).  If the plan is not
     subject to the  qualified  joint and  survivor  annuity  rules and includes
involuntary cash-out provisions, then unless one of the options below is
elected,  effective for  distributions  made after  December 31, 2001,  rollover
contributions  will be excluded in  determining  the value of the  participant's
nonforfeitable  account balance for purposes of the plan's involuntary  cash-out
rules.

     a. [ ] Rollover contributions will not be excluded.

     b. [ ]  Rollover  contributions  will be  excluded  only  with  respect  to
distributions made after __________.  (Enter a date no earlier than December 31,
2001.)

     c. [ ]  Rollover  contributions  will  only be  excluded  with  respect  to
participants  who separated  from service after  __________.  (Enter a date. The
date may be earlier than December 31, 2001.)

     2.3 Suspension period of hardship  distributions.  If the plan provides for
hardship  distributions  upon satisfaction of the safe harbor (deemed) standards
as set forth in Treas.  Reg.  Section  1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iv),  then,  unless  the
option below is elected, the suspension period following a hardship distribution
shall only apply to hardship distributions made after December 31, 2001.

     [ ] With regard to hardship  distributions  made during 2001, a participant
shall be prohibited  from making elective  deferrals and employee  contributions
under this and all other plans  until the later of January 1, 2002,  or 6 months
after receipt of the distribution.

     2.4 Catch-up contributions (for 401(k) profit sharing plans only): The plan
permits catch-up contributions (Article VI) unless the option below is elected.

     [ ] The plan does not permit catch-up contributions to be made.

     2.5 For  target  benefit  plans  only:  The  increased  compensation  limit
($200,000  limit)  shall apply to years prior to 2002 unless the option below is
elected.

     [ ] The increased compensation limit will not apply to years prior to 2002.

                                   ARTICLE III
                        VESTING OF MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

     3.1 Applicability. This Article shall apply to participants who complete an
Hour of Service  after  December  31,  2001,  with  respect to accrued  benefits
derived from employer matching  contributions made in plan years beginning after
December  31,  2001.  Unless  otherwise  elected by the  employer in Section 2.1
above,  this Article shall also apply to all such  participants  with respect to
accrued benefits derived from employer matching contributions made in plan years
beginning prior to January 1, 2002.

     3.2 Vesting schedule. A participant's accrued benefit derived from employer
matching contributions shall vest as provided in Section 2.1 of this amendment.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                              INVOLUNTARY CASH-OUTS

     4.1  Applicability and effective date. If the plan provides for involuntary
cash-outs of amounts less than $5,000,  then unless otherwise elected in Section
2.2 of this  amendment,  this Article shall apply for  distributions  made after
December 31, 2001, and shall apply to all participants.  However,  regardless of
the  preceding,  this  Article  shall  not apply if the plan is  subject  to the
qualified joint and survivor annuity requirements of Sections 401(a)(11) and 417
of the Code.

     4.2  Rollovers  disregarded  in  determining  value of account  balance for
involuntary distributions. For purposes of the Sections of the plan that provide
for the involuntary  distribution of vested accrued  benefits of $5,000 or less,
the value of a participant's  nonforfeitable account balance shall be determined
without regard to that portion of the account  balance that is  attributable  to
rollover  contributions  (and earnings  allocable thereto) within the meaning of
Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8),  408(d)(3)(A)(ii),  and 457(e)(16) of the
Code. If the value of the  participant's  nonforfeitable  account  balance as so
determined is $5,000 or less,  then the plan shall  immediately  distribute  the
participant's entire nonforfeitable account balance.

                                    ARTICLE V
                             HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS

     5.1  Applicability  and  effective  date. If the plan provides for hardship
distributions  upon  satisfaction of the safe harbor  (deemed)  standards as set
forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iv), then this Article shall apply
for calendar years beginning after 2001.

     5.2 Suspension period following  hardship  distribution.  A participant who
receives a  distribution  of elective  deferrals  after  December 31,  2001,  on
account of hardship  shall be  prohibited  from making  elective  deferrals  and
employee  contributions  under this and all other  plans of the  employer  for 6
months  after  receipt  of the  distribution.  Furthermore,  if  elected  by the
employer  in  Section  2.3 of this  amendment,  a  participant  who  receives  a
distribution of elective  deferrals in calendar year 2001 on account of hardship
shall be prohibited  from making elective  deferrals and employee  contributions
under this and all other plans  until the later of January 1, 2002,  or 6 months
after receipt of the distribution.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                             CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS

     Catch-up  Contributions.  Unless  otherwise  elected in Section 2.4 of this
amendment,  all employees who are eligible to make elective deferrals under this
plan and who have  attained  age 50 before  the close of the plan year  shall be
eligible to make catch-up  contributions  in accordance with, and subject to the
limitations  of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such catch-up  contributions  shall
not  be  taken  into  account  for  purposes  of  the  provisions  of  the  plan
implementing  the required  limitations of Sections  402(g) and 415 of the Code.
The plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the  provisions  of the plan
implementing  the  requirements of Section  401(k)(3),  401(k)(11),  401(k)(12),
410(b),  or 416 of the Code,  as  applicable,  by  reason of the  making of such
catch-up contributions.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                         INCREASE IN COMPENSATION LIMIT

     Increase in Compensation Limit. The annual compensation of each participant
taken into account in determining  allocations for any plan year beginning after
December 31, 2001,  shall not exceed  $200,000,  as adjusted for  cost-of-living
increases  in  accordance  with  Section   401(a)(17)(B)  of  the  Code.  Annual
compensation means  compensation  during the plan year or such other consecutive
12-month period over which  compensation is otherwise  determined under the plan
(the  determination  period).  If this is a target benefit plan,  then except as
otherwise elected in Section 2.5 of this amendment,  for purposes of determining
benefit accruals in a plan year beginning after December 31, 2001,  compensation
for  any  prior  determination   period  shall  be  limited  to  $200,000.   The
cost-of-living  adjustment  in effect  for a  calendar  year  applies  to annual
compensation  for the  determination  period  that  begins  with or within  such
calendar year.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                   PLAN LOANS

     Plan  loans  for  owner-employees  or  shareholder-employees.  If the  plan
permits  loans to be made to  participants,  then  effective for plan loans made
after December 31, 2001, plan provisions prohibiting loans to any owner-employee
or shareholder-employee shall cease to apply.

                                   ARTICLE IX
              LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS (IRC SECTION 415 LIMITS)

     9.1 Effective  date.  This Section shall be effective for limitation  years
beginning after December 31, 2001.


     9.2 Maximum annual  addition.  Except to the extent permitted under Article
VI of this amendment and Section  414(v) of the Code, if applicable,  the annual
addition that may be contributed or allocated to a  participant's  account under
the plan for any limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of:

     a. $40,000,  as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living  under Section
415(d) of the Code, or

     b. 100  percent of the  participant's  compensation,  within the meaning of
Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, for the limitation year.

     The  compensation   limit  referred  to  in  b.  shall  not  apply  to  any
contribution  for medical  benefits after  separation  from service  (within the
meaning of Section 401(h) or Section  419A(f)(2) of the Code) which is otherwise
treated as an annual addition.

                                    ARTICLE X
                         MODIFICATION OF TOP-HEAVY RULES

     10.1 Effective  date.  This Article shall apply for purposes of determining
whether the plan is a top-heavy  plan under Section  416(g) of the Code for plan
years  beginning  after  December 31, 2001,  and whether the plan  satisfies the
minimum benefits requirements of Section 416(c) of the Code for such years. This
Article amends the top-heavy provisions of the plan.

     10.2 Determination of top-heavy status.

     10.2.1 Key  employee.  Key employee  means any employee or former  employee
(including any deceased employee) who

     at any time during the plan year that includes the  determination  date was
an officer of the employer having annual compensation  greater than $130,000 (as
adjusted  under  Section  416(i)(1) of the Code for plan years  beginning  after
December 31, 2002), a 5-percent  owner of the employer,  or a 1-percent owner of
the employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose,
annual  compensation means compensation  within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3)
of the  Code.  The  determination  of who is a key  employee  will  be  made  in
accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and
other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

     10.2.2  Determination  of present  values and amounts.  This Section 10.2.2
shall apply for purposes of determining  the present values of accrued  benefits
and the amounts of account balances of employees as of the determination date.

     a. Distributions  during year ending on the determination date. The present
values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as
of the  determination  date shall be  increased by the  distributions  made with
respect to the  employee  under the plan and any plan  aggregated  with the plan
under  Section  416(g)(2)  of the Code  during the 1-year  period  ending on the
determination  date. The preceding  sentence  shall also apply to  distributions
under a  terminated  plan  which,  had it not been  terminated,  would have been
aggregated with the plan under Section  416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case
of a distribution  made for a reason other than separation from service,  death,
or disability,  this provision shall be applied by substituting  "5-year period"
for "1-year period."

     b.   Employees  not   performing   services   during  year  ending  on  the
determination  date. The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has
not performed  services for the employer  during the 1-year period ending on the
determination date shall not be taken into account.

     10.3 Minimum benefits.

     10.3.1 Matching  contributions.  Employer matching  contributions  shall be
taken  into  account  for  purposes  of  satisfying  the  minimum   contribution
requirements  of  Section  416(c)(2)  of the Code and the  plan.  The  preceding
sentence shall apply with respect to matching  contributions  under the plan or,
if the plan provides that the minimum  contribution  requirement shall be met in
another plan, such other plan. Employer matching  contributions that are used to
satisfy  the  minimum  contribution  requirements  shall be treated as  matching
contributions for purposes of the actual contribution  percentage test and other
requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.

     10.3.2  Contributions  under other plans.  The employer may provide,  in an
addendum to this amendment, that the minimum benefit requirement shall be met in
another plan (including  another plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred
arrangement  which meets the requirements of Section  401(k)(12) of the Code and
matching  contributions  with  respect  to which  the  requirements  of  Section
401(m)(11)  of the Code are met).  The addendum  should  include the name of the
other plan, the minimum benefit that will be provided under such other plan, and
the employees who will receive the minimum benefit under such other plan.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                DIRECT ROLLOVERS

     11.1 Effective date. This Article shall apply to  distributions  made after
December 31, 2001.


     11.2  Modification of definition of eligible  retirement plan. For purposes
of the direct rollover provisions of the plan, an eligible retirement plan shall
also mean an annuity  contract  described  in Section  403(b) of the Code and an
eligible plan under  Section  457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state,
political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or
political  subdivision  of a state and which  agrees to  separately  account for
amounts  transferred  into such plan from this plan.  The definition of eligible
retirement  plan shall also apply in the case of a  distribution  to a surviving
spouse,  or to a spouse or former  spouse  who is the  alternate  payee  under a
qualified domestic relation order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.

     11.3  Modification  of  definition  of eligible  rollover  distribution  to
exclude hardship  distributions.  For purposes of the direct rollover provisions
of the plan,  any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be
an eligible rollover  distribution and the distributee may not elect to have any
portion of such a distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan.

     11.4  Modification  of  definition  of eligible  rollover  distribution  to
include after-tax  employee  contributions.  For purposes of the direct rollover
provisions  in the plan,  a portion  of a  distribution  shall not fail to be an
eligible rollover  distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax
employee  contributions which are not includible in gross income.  However, such
portion may be transferred only to an individual  retirement  account or annuity
described  in  Section  408(a) or (b) of the  Code,  or to a  qualified  defined
contribution  plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees
to  separately  account  for  amounts  so  transferred,   including   separately
accounting  for the portion of such  distribution  which is  includible in gross
income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                           ROLLOVERS FROM OTHER PLANS

     Rollovers  from  other  plans.  The  employer,   operationally   and  on  a
nondiscriminatory basis, may limit the source of rollover contributions that may
be accepted by this plan.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                           REPEAL OF MULTIPLE USE TEST

     Repeal of Multiple Use Test.  The  multiple use test  described in Treasury
Regulation  Section  1.401(m)-2  and the plan  shall not  apply  for plan  years
beginning after December 31, 2001.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                               ELECTIVE DEFERRALS

     14.1 Elective Deferrals -- Contribution Limitation. No participant shall be
permitted  to have  elective  deferrals  made  under  this  plan,  or any  other
qualified plan  maintained by the employer during any taxable year, in excess of
the dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Code in effect for such
taxable year,  except to the extent permitted under Article VI of this amendment
and Section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable.

     14.2 Maximum Salary Reduction  Contributions for SIMPLE plans. If this is a
SIMPLE 401(k) plan, then except to the extent permitted under Article VI of this
amendment and Section  414(v) of the Code,  if  applicable,  the maximum  salary
reduction  contribution  that can be made to this plan is the amount  determined
under Section 408(p)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code for the calendar year.

                                   ARTICLE XV
                           SAFE HARBOR PLAN PROVISIONS

     Modification of Top-Heavy Rules. The top-heavy  requirements of Section 416
of the Code and the plan shall not apply in any year  beginning  after  December
31, 2001,  in which the plan consists  solely of a cash or deferred  arrangement
which meets the  requirements  of Section  401(k)(12)  of the Code and  matching
contributions  with respect to which the  requirements of Section  401(m)(11) of
the Code are met.

                                   ARTICLE XVI
                    DISTRIBUTION UPON SEVERANCE OF EMPLOYMENT

     16.1  Effective  date.  This  Article  shall  apply for  distributions  and
transactions  made after December 31, 2001,  regardless of when the severance of
employment occurred.

     16.2 New distributable event. A participant's elective deferrals, qualified
nonelective  contributions,   qualified  matching  contributions,  and  earnings
attributable  to these  contributions  shall be  distributed  on  account of the
participant's  severance from employment.  However, such a distribution shall be
subject to the other provisions of the plan regarding distributions,  other than
provisions  that  require a separation  from service  before such amounts may be
distributed.

     Except with  respect to any  election  made by the  employer in Article II,
this  amendment  is hereby  adopted  by the  prototype  sponsor on behalf of all
adopting employers on:

     [Sponsor's signature and Adoption Date are on file with Sponsor]

     NOTE:  The employer only needs to execute this amendment if an election has
been made in Article II of this amendment.

     This    amendment   has   been   executed    this    __________    day   of

             DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PROTOTYPE PLAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT
                  BASIC PLAN DOCUMENT # ______________________



     ________________________________________________   ,  in  its  capacity  as
Prototype Plan Sponsor,  establishes  this Prototype Plan intended to conform to
and qualify  under  ss.401 and ss.501 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as
amended.  An Employer  establishes a Plan and Trust under this Prototype Plan by
executing an Adoption Agreement.  If the Employer adopts this Plan as a restated
Plan in substitution  for, and in amendment of, an existing plan, the provisions
of this Plan, as a restated Plan,  apply solely to an Employee whose  employment
with the  Employer  terminates  on or after the restated  Effective  Date of the
Plan.  If an Employee's  employment  with the Employer  terminates  prior to the
restated Effective Date, that Employee is entitled to benefits under the Plan as
the Plan existed on the date of the Employee's termination of employment.


                                   ARTICLE I.
                                   DEFINITIONS


     1.01.  "Account" means the separate Account(s) which the Plan Administrator
or the Trustee maintains under the Plan for a Participant.


     1.02. "Account Balance" or "Accrued Benefit" Means the amount standing in a
Participant's  Account(s) as of any date derived from Employer contributions and
from Participant contributions, if any.


     1.03.  "Accounting  Date"  means  the last day of the Plan  Year.  The Plan
Administrator  will  allocate  Employer  contributions  and  forfeitures  for  a
particular  Plan Year as of the  Accounting  Date of that Plan Year, and on such
other dates, if any, as the Plan Administrator  determines,  consistent with the
Plan's allocation conditions and other provisions.


     1.04.  "Adoption  Agreement"  means the document  executed by each Employer
adopting  this Plan.  References  to Adoption  Agreement  within this basic plan
document are to the Adoption Agreement as completed and executed by a particular
Employer unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.  An adopting Employer's
Adoption  Agreement  and this basic plan document  together  constitute a single
Plan  and  Trust  of the  Employer.  Each  elective  provision  of the  Adoption
Agreement corresponds (by its parenthetical section reference) to the section of
the Plan which grants the election.  Each Adoption  Agreement offered under this
Plan is either a Nonstandardized  Plan or a Standardized  Plan, as identified in
that Adoption Agreement. The provisions of this Plan apply in the same manner to
Nonstandardized Plans and to Standardized Plans unless otherwise specified.  All
section  references within an Adoption  Agreement are Adoption Agreement section
references unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.


     1.05.  "Beneficiary"  means a person  designated by a Participant or by the
Plan who is or may become  entitled to a benefit  under the Plan. A  Beneficiary
who becomes entitled to a benefit under the Plan remains a Beneficiary under the
Plan until the Trustee has fully  distributed  to the  Beneficiary  his/her Plan
benefit. A Beneficiary's  right to (and the Plan  Administrator's or a Trustee's
duty to provide to the Beneficiary) information or data concerning the Plan does
not arise  until the  Beneficiary  first  becomes  entitled to receive a benefit
under the Plan.


     1.06.  "Code"  means the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended  and
includes applicable Treasury regulations.


     1.07.  "Compensation"  means a  Participant's  W-2 wages,  Code  ss.3401(a)
wages, or 415 compensation  except,  in the case of a Self-Employed  Individual,
Compensation means Earned Income as defined in Section 1.09. The Employer in its
Adoption  Agreement  must specify  which  definition  of  Compensation  (Section
1.07(A),  (B) or (C)) applies under the Plan and any modifications  thereto, for
purposes of contribution allocations under Article III.

     Any reference in the Plan to  Compensation is a reference to the definition
in this Section 1.07, unless the Plan reference, or the Employer in its Adoption
Agreement,  modifies  this  definition.  The Plan  Administrator  will take into
account only Compensation  actually paid during (or as permitted under the Code,
paid for) the relevant period. A Compensation payment includes Compensation paid
by the Employer through another person under the common paymaster  provisions in
Code  ss.ss.3121  and 3306.  Compensation,  unless  otherwise  specified  in the
Adoption  Agreement,  does  not  include  any  form of  remuneration  (including
severance pay and vacation pay) paid to the  Participant  after the  Participant
incurs a Separation from Service.

     (A) W-2 Wages.  W-2 wages means wages for  federal  income tax  withholding
purposes,  as  defined  under Code  ss.3401(a),  plus all other  payments  to an
Employee  in the  course  of the  Employer's  trade or  business,  for which the
Employer must furnish the Employee a written  statement  under Code  ss.ss.6041,
6051 and  6052,  but  determined  without  regard to any  rules  that  limit the
remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment
or services  performed  (such as the  exception for  agricultural  labor in Code
ss.3401(a)(2)).

     (B) Code ss.3401(a)  Wages.  Code  ss.3401(a)  wages means wages within the
meaning of Code  ss.3401(a)  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 the location of the  employment  or the
services  performed  (such  as the  exception  for  agricultural  labor  in Code
ss.3401(a)(2)).

     (C) Code  ss.415  Compensation  (current  income  definition).  Code ss.415
compensation means the Employee's wages, salaries, fees for professional service
and other amounts received for personal services actually rendered in the course
of  employment  with the  Employer  maintaining  the Plan to the extent that the
amounts  are  includible  in  gross  income  (including,  but  not  limited  to,
commissions  paid  salespersons,  compensation  for  services  on the basis of a
percentage of profits,  commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe
benefits and  reimbursements or other expense  allowances under a nonaccountable
plan as described in Treas. Reg. ss.1.62-2(c)).

     Code ss.415 compensation does not include:

     (a) Employer contributions to a plan of deferred compensation to the extent
the  contributions  are not included in the gross income of the Employee for the
taxable  year in which  contributed,  Employer  contributions  on  behalf  of an
Employee to a Simplified  Employee Pension Plan to the extent such contributions
are excludible from the Employee's gross income,  and any  distributions  from a
plan of deferred compensation, regardless of whether such amounts are includible
in the gross income of the Employee when distributed.

     (b) Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified  stock option, or
when  restricted  stock (or property) held by an 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 stock option  described in Part II,  Subchapter  D, Chapter 1,
Subtitle A of the Code.

     (d) Other amounts which receive special tax benefits,  such as premiums for
group term life  insurance  (but only to the extent  that the  premiums  are not
includible in the gross income of the  Employee),  or  contributions  made by an
Employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) toward the purchase
of an  annuity  contract  described  in  Code  ss.403(b)  (whether  or  not  the
contributions are excludible from the gross income of the Employee).

     (D) Elective  Contributions.  Compensation under Sections 1.07(A),  1.07(B)
and 1.07(C) includes Elective  Contributions unless the Employer in its Adoption
Agreement elects to exclude Elective Contributions. "Elective Contributions" are
amounts  excludible  from the  Employee's  gross  income  under Code  ss.ss.125,
132(f)(4),  402(e)(3),  402(h)(2), 403(b), 408(p) or 457, and contributed by the
Employer,  at  the  Employee's  election,  to  a  cafeteria  plan,  a  qualified
transportation   fringe  benefit  plan,  a  401(k)  arrangement,   a  SARSEP,  a
tax-sheltered annuity, a SIMPLE plan or a Code ss.457 plan.  Notwithstanding the
preceding   sentence,   amounts  described  in  ss.132(f)(4)  are  not  Elective
Contributions until Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, unless the
Plan  Administrator  operationally  has included such amounts effective as of an
earlier Plan Year beginning no earlier than January 1, 1998.

     (E)  Compensation   Dollar   Limitation.   For  any  Plan  Year,  the  Plan
Administrator  in allocating  contributions  under Article III or in testing the
Plan for nondiscrimination, cannot take into account more than $150,000 (or such
larger or smaller amount as the  Commissioner of Internal Revenue may prescribe)
of any Participant's  Compensation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  an Employee
under  a  401(k)  arrangement  may  make  elective  deferrals  with  respect  to
Compensation which exceeds the Plan Year Compensation limitation,  provided such
deferrals otherwise satisfy Code ss.402(g) and other applicable limitations.

     (F)  Nondiscrimination.  For  purposes  of  determining  whether  the  Plan
discriminates  in favor of  Highly  Compensated  Employees,  Compensation  means
Compensation as defined in this Section 1.07,  except: (1) the Employer annually
may  elect  operationally  to  include  or to  exclude  Elective  Contributions,
irrespective  of the  Employer's  election in its Adoption  Agreement  regarding
Elective  Contributions;  and (2) the  Plan  Administrator  will  disregard  any
elections made in the  "modifications  to  Compensation  definition"  section of
Adoption Agreement Section 1.07. The Employer's election described in clause (1)
must be  consistent  and uniform with respect to all  Employees and all plans of
the Employer for any particular Plan Year. The Employer,  irrespective of clause
(2), may elect to exclude from this nondiscrimination definition of Compensation
any items of  Compensation  excludible  under Code  ss.414(s) and the applicable
Treasury  regulations,   provided  such  adjusted  definition  conforms  to  the
nondiscrimination   requirements   of  those   regulations.   Furthermore,   for
nondiscrimination  purposes,  including the computation of an Employee's  actual
deferral percentage ("ADP") or actual contribution  percentage ("ACP"), the Plan
Administrator may limit Compensation taken into account to Compensation received
only for the portion of the Plan Year in which the  Employee  was a  Participant
and  only for the  portion  of the Plan  Year in  which  the Plan or the  401(k)
arrangement was in effect.


     1.08.  "Disability" means the Participant,  because of a physical or mental
disability,  will be unable to perform the duties of his/her customary  position
of employment (or is unable to engage in any substantial  gainful  activity) for
an  indefinite  period which the Plan  Administrator  considers  will be of long
continued  duration.  A  Participant  also is  disabled  if  he/she  incurs  the
permanent  loss  or loss of use of a  member  or  function  of the  body,  or is
permanently  disfigured,  and incurs a Separation from Service. A Participant is
disabled on the date the Plan Administrator determines the Participant satisfies
the definition of Disability.  The Plan  Administrator may require a Participant
to submit to a physical  examination  in order to confirm  Disability.  The Plan
Administrator   will  apply  the   provisions   of  this   Section   1.08  in  a
nondiscriminatory,  consistent and uniform  manner.  The Employer may provide an
alternative definition of Disability in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement.


     1.09. "Earned Income" means net earnings from  self-employment in the trade
or  business  with  respect  to which the  Employer  has  established  the Plan,
provided personal services of the Self-Employed Individual are a material income
producing  factor.  The Plan  Administrator  will determine net earnings without
regard to items excluded from gross income and the deductions allocable to those
items.  The Plan  Administrator  will determine net earnings after the deduction
allowed  to the  Self-Employed  Individual  for  all  contributions  made by the
Employer  to  a  qualified   plan  and  after  the  deduction   allowed  to  the
Self-Employed Individual under Code ss.164(f) for self-employment taxes.


     1.10.  "Effective  Date" of this Plan is the date specified in the Adoption
Agreement  unless  otherwise for a specified  purpose provided within this basic
plan  document or within (as part of the  Adoption  Agreement ) a  Participation
Agreement, an Addendum, or within Appendices A or B.


     1.11. "Employee" means any common law employee,  Self-Employed  Individual,
leased  employee or other  person the Code treats as an employee of the Employer
for  purposes of the  Employer's  qualified  plan.  The Employer in its Adoption
Agreement  must  elect or  specify  any  Employee,  or class of  Employees,  not
eligible to participate in the Plan (an "excluded Employee").

     (A) Collective Bargaining Employees. If the Employer elects in its Adoption
Agreement  to  exclude  collective  bargaining  Employees  from  eligibility  to
participate,  the  exclusion  applies  to any  Employee  included  in a unit  of
Employees  covered by an  agreement  which the  Secretary of Labor finds to be a
collective bargaining agreement between employee representatives and one or more
employers if: (1) retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining;
and (2) two  percent  or less of the  employees  covered  by the  agreement  are
"professionals" as defined in Treas. Reg.  ss.1.410(b)-9,  unless the collective
bargaining  agreement  requires the Employee to be included within the Plan. The
term "employee representatives" does not include any organization more than half
the members of which are owners, officers, or executives of the Employer.

     (B) Nonresident Aliens. If the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement to
exclude  nonresident  aliens from  eligibility  to  participate,  the  exclusion
applies  to any  nonresident  alien  Employee  who does not  receive  any earned
income,  as defined in Code  ss.911(d)(2),  from the Employer which  constitutes
United States source income, as defined in Code ss.861(a)(3).

     (C)  Reclassified  Employees.  If  the  Employer  elects  in  its  Adoption
Agreement to exclude reclassified Employees from eligibility to participate, the
exclusion  applies  to any  person the  Employer  does not treat as an  Employee
(including,  but not limited to, independent  contractors,  persons the Employer
pays outside of its payroll system and  out-sourced  workers) for federal income
tax withholding purposes under Code ss.3401(a),  but for whom there is a binding
determination  the  individual  is an  Employee  or a  Leased  Employee  of  the
Employer.


     1.12.  "Employer"  means each  employer who  establishes  a Plan under this
Prototype  Plan by  executing an Adoption  Agreement  and includes to the extent
described in Section 1.26 a Related Employer and a Participating  Employer.  The
Employer for purposes of acting as Plan  Administrator,  making Plan amendments,
terminating  the Plan or  performing  other ERISA settlor  functions,  means the
signatory Employer to the Adoption Agreement Execution Page and does not include
any Related Employer or Participating Employer.


     1.13. "ERISA" means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, and includes applicable Department of Labor regulations.


     1.14. "Highly Compensated Employee" means an Employee who:

     (a) during the Plan Year or during the preceding  Plan Year, is a more than
5% owner of the Employer  (applying  the  constructive  ownership  rules of Code
ss.318,  and  applying the  principles  of Code  ss.318,  for an  unincorporated
entity); or

     (b) during the preceding  Plan Year had  Compensation  in excess of $80,000
(as adjusted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the relevant year) and,
if the  Employer  under its  Adoption  Agreement  Appendices  A or B,  makes the
top-paid group election,  was part of the top-paid 20% group of Employees (based
on Compensation for the preceding Plan Year).

     For purposes of this Section 1.14,  "Compensation"  means  Compensation  as
defined in Section 1.07,  except any exclusions from  Compensation  the Employer
elects  in  Adoption  Agreement  Section  1.07 do not  apply,  and  Compensation
specifically includes Elective  Contributions.  The Plan Administrator must make
the  determination  of who  is a  Highly  Compensated  Employee,  including  the
determinations of the number and identity of the top-paid 20% group,  consistent
with Code ss.414(q) and regulations issued under that Code section. The Employer
in its  Adoption  Agreement  Appendices  A or B may make a  calendar  year  data
election to determine  the Highly  Compensated  Employees  for the Plan Year, as
prescribed  by  Treasury  regulations  or by  other  guidance  published  in the
Internal Revenue Bulletin. A calendar year data election must apply to all plans
of the Employer which reference the highly  compensated  employee  definition in
Code  ss.414(q).  For purposes of this Section 1.14, if the current Plan Year is
the first  year of the  Plan,  then the term  "preceding  Plan  Year"  means the
12-consecutive month period immediately preceding the current Plan Year.


     1.15. "Hour of Service" means:

     (a) Each Hour of  Service  for  which  the  Employer,  either  directly  or
indirectly,  pays an Employee, or for which the Employee is entitled to payment,
for the performance of duties. The Plan  Administrator  credits Hours of Service
under this Paragraph (a) to the Employee for the computation period in which the
Employee performs the duties, irrespective of when paid;

     (b) Each  Hour of  Service  for back pay,  irrespective  of  mitigation  of
damages, to which the Employer has agreed or for which the Employee has received
an award. The Plan  Administrator  credits Hours of Service under this Paragraph
(b) to the  Employee  for the  computation  period(s)  to which the award or the
agreement  pertains rather than for the  computation  period in which the award,
agreement or payment is made; and

     (c) Each Hour of  Service  for  which  the  Employer,  either  directly  or
indirectly,  pays an Employee,  or for which the Employee is entitled to payment
(irrespective of whether the employment relationship is terminated), for reasons
other than for the  performance of duties during a computation  period,  such as
leave of absence, vacation,  holiday, sick leave, illness, incapacity (including
disability),  layoff,  jury duty or military duty. The Plan  Administrator  will
credit no more than 501 Hours of Service under this Paragraph (c) to an Employee
on account of any single  continuous  period  during which the Employee does not
perform  any  duties  (whether  or  not  such  period  occurs  during  a  single
computation period). The Plan Administrator  credits Hours of Service under this
Paragraph  (c) in accordance  with the rules of paragraphs  (b) and (c) of Labor
Reg.   ss.2530.200b-2,   which  the  Plan,  by  this   reference,   specifically
incorporates in full within this Paragraph (c).

     The Plan  Administrator  will not credit an Hour of Service under more than
one of the above  Paragraphs (a), (b) or (c). A computation  period for purposes
of this Section 1.15 is the Plan Year, Year of Service period,  Break in Service
period or other  period,  as determined  under the Plan  provision for which the
Plan  Administrator  is  measuring  an  Employee's  Hours of  Service.  The Plan
Administrator  will resolve any  ambiguity  with respect to the  crediting of an
Hour of Service in favor of the Employee.

     (A) Method of Crediting  Hours of Service.  The Employer  must elect in its
Adoption  Agreement the method the Plan  Administrator  will use in crediting an
Employee with Hours of Service and the purpose for which the elected method will
apply.

     (B) Actual Method.  Under the Actual Method as determined from records,  an
Employee  receives  credit for Hours of Service  for hours  worked and hours for
which the Employer makes payment or for which payment is due from the Employer.

     (C) Equivalency  Method.  Under an Equivalency Method, for each equivalency
period for which the Plan Administrator  would credit the Employee with at least
one Hour of Service,  the Plan  Administrator will credit the Employee with: (i)
10 Hours of Service  for a daily  equivalency;  (ii) 45 Hours of  Service  for a
weekly  equivalency;  (iii) 95 Hours of Service for a semimonthly payroll period
equivalency; and (iv) 190 Hours of Service for a monthly equivalency.

     (D)  Elapsed  Time  Method.  Under the  Elapsed  Time  Method,  an Employee
receives credit for Service for the aggregate of all time periods (regardless of
the  Employee's  actual  Hours  of  Service)   commencing  with  the  Employee's
Employment  Commencement Date, or with his/her Re-employment  Commencement Date,
and  ending on the date a Break in  Service  begins.  An  Employee's  Employment
Commencement Date or his/her Re-employment Commencement Date begins on the first
day he/she performs an Hour of Service following employment or re-employment. In
applying  the  Elapsed  Time  Method,  the Plan  Administrator  will  credit  an
Employee's  Service  for any  Period of  Severance  of less than  12-consecutive
months and will express fractional periods of Service in days.

     Under the Elapsed Time Method,  a Break in Service is a Period of Severance
of at least 12 consecutive  months. A Period of Severance is a continuous period
of  time  during  which  the  Employee  is not  employed  by the  Employer.  The
continuous period begins on the date the Employee retires, quits, is discharged,
or dies or if earlier,  the first 12-month  anniversary of the date on which the
Employee  otherwise  is absent  from  Service  for any other  reason  (including
disability,  vacation,  leave  of  absence,  layoff,  etc.).  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
the  Employee is otherwise  absent from  Service does not  constitute a Break in
Service.

     (E)  Maternity/Paternity  Leave/Family  and Medical  Leave Act.  Solely for
purposes of determining  whether an Employee incurs a Break in Service under any
provision  of this Plan,  the Plan  Administrator  must credit  Hours of Service
during the Employee's  unpaid absence period:  (i) due to maternity or paternity
leave;  or (ii) as required  under the Family and Medical Leave Act. An Employee
is on  maternity  or  paternity  leave if the  Employee's  absence is due to the
Employee's pregnancy,  the birth of the Employee's child, the placement with the
Employee of an adopted child,  or the care of the Employee's  child  immediately
following the child's birth or placement.  The Plan Administrator  credits Hours
of  Service  under this  Section  1.15(E) on the basis of the number of Hours of
Service for which the Employee  normally  would  receive  credit or, if the Plan
Administrator cannot determine the number of Hours of Service the Employee would
receive  credit for, on the basis of 8 hours per day during the absence  period.
The Plan  Administrator will credit only the number (not exceeding 501) of Hours
of Service  necessary  to  prevent  an  Employee's  Break in  Service.  The Plan
Administrator  credits all Hours of Service described in this Section 1.15(E) to
the  computation  period in which the absence  period begins or, if the Employee
does not need  these  Hours of  Service  to  prevent a Break in  Service  in the
computation   period  in  which  his/her   absence  period   begins,   the  Plan
Administrator  credits  these  Hours of  Service  to the  immediately  following
computation period.

     (F) Qualified  Military Service.  Hour of Service also includes any Service
the Plan must  credit for  contributions  and  benefits  in order to satisfy the
crediting of Service  requirements  of Code  ss.414(u).  The  provisions of this
Section 1.15(F) apply beginning  December 12, 1994, or if the Employer's Plan is
effective after that date, as of the Plan's Effective Date.


     1.16.  "Leased  Employee"  means an  individual  (who  otherwise  is not an
Employee of the Employer) who, pursuant to an agreement between the Employer and
any other person,  has performed  services for the Employer (or for the Employer
and any persons related to the Employer within the meaning of Code ss.144(a)(3))
on a  substantially  full time basis for at least one year and who performs such
services under primary  direction or control of the Employer  within the meaning
of Code ss.414(n)(2).  Except as described in Section 1.16(A), a Leased Employee
is an Employee  for purposes of the Plan.  If a Leased  Employee is an Employee,
"Compensation"  includes  Compensation  from the leasing  organization  which is
attributable to services performed for the Employer.

     (A) Safe Harbor Plan Exception. A Leased Employee is not an Employee if the
leasing  organization  covers the  employee in a safe harbor plan and,  prior to
application  of this safe harbor plan  exception,  20% or less of the Employer's
Employees (other than Highly Compensated Employees) are Leased Employees. A safe
harbor plan is a money purchase pension plan providing immediate  participation,
full and immediate vesting, and a nonintegrated contribution formula equal to at
least 10% of the  employee's  compensation,  without regard to employment by the
leasing  organization  on a specified  date. The safe harbor plan must determine
the  10%   contribution  on  the  basis  of  compensation  as  defined  in  Code
ss.415(c)(3) including Elective Contributions.

     (B) Other Requirements. The Plan Administrator must apply this Section 1.16
in a manner  consistent  with Code  ss.ss.414(n)  and 414(o) and the regulations
issued under those Code sections.  If a Participant is a Leased Employee covered
by a plan maintained by the leasing  organization,  the Plan  Administrator will
determine the allocation of Employer  contributions and Participant  forfeitures
on behalf of the  Participant  under the  Employer's  Plan  without  taking into
account  the  Leased   Employee's   allocation,   if  any,   under  the  leasing
organization's plan.


     1.17.  "Nonhighly  Compensated  Employee"  means any  Employee who is not a
Highly Compensated Employee.


     1.18.  "Nontransferable  Annuity"  means an annuity  contract  which by its
terms  provides  that it may  not be  sold,  assigned,  discounted,  pledged  as
collateral  for a loan or security for the  performance  of an obligation or for
any  purpose  to any  person  other  than  the  insurance  company.  If the Plan
distributes an annuity contract, the contract must be a Nontransferable Annuity.


     1.19.  "Paired Plans" means the Employer has adopted two Standardized  Plan
Adoption  Agreements  offered with this Prototype  Plan, one Adoption  Agreement
being a Paired  Profit  Sharing Plan and one Adoption  Agreement  being a Paired
Pension Plan. A Paired Profit Sharing Plan may include a 401(k)  arrangement.  A
Paired Pension Plan must be a money purchase pension plan,  defined benefit plan
or a  target  benefit  pension  plan.  Paired  Plans  must be the  subject  of a
favorable  opinion letter issued by the National Office of the Internal  Revenue
Service.  If an Employer adopts paired plans,  only one of the plans may provide
for permitted disparity.


     1.20. "Participant" means an eligible Employee who becomes a Participant in
accordance  with the  provisions of Section 2.01. An eligible  Employee means an
Employee who is not an excluded Employee under Adoption Agreement Section 1.11.


     1.21.  "Plan" means the  retirement  plan  established  or continued by the
Employer in the form of this Prototype  Plan,  including the Adoption  Agreement
under which the Employer has elected to establish  this Plan.  The Employer must
designate  the name of the  Plan in its  Adoption  Agreement.  An  Employer  may
execute more than one Adoption  Agreement offered under this Plan, each of which
will  constitute  a separate  Plan and Trust  established  or  continued by that
Employer. The Plan and the Trust created by each adopting Employer is a separate
Plan and a separate Trust,  independent from the plan and the trust of any other
employer adopting this Prototype Plan. All section  references within this basic
plan document are Plan section  references  unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise.  The Plan  includes any  Addendum or Appendix  permitted by the basic
plan  document or by the  Employer's  Adoption  Agreement and which the Employer
attaches to its  Adoption  Agreement.  An Addendum  must  correspond  by section
reference  to the  section  of the basic plan  document  or  Adoption  Agreement
permitting the Addendum.


     1.22.  "Plan   Administrator"   means  the  Employer  unless  the  Employer
designates another person or persons to hold the position of Plan Administrator.
Any  person(s)  the Employer  appoints as Plan  Administrator  may or may not be
Participants   in  the  Plan.  In  addition  to  its  other  duties,   the  Plan
Administrator  has  full  responsibility  for the  Plan's  compliance  with  the
reporting and disclosure rules under ERISA.


     1.23.  "Plan Entry Date" means the date(s) the Employer  elects in Adoption
Agreement Section 2.01.


     1.24. "Plan Year" means the consecutive month period the Employer specifies
in its  Adoption  Agreement.  The  Employer  also must  specify in its  Adoption
Agreement the  "Limitation  Year"  applicable to the  limitations on allocations
described in Article III. If the Employer maintains Paired Plans, each Plan must
have the same Plan Year.


     1.25.  "Protected  Benefit" means any accrued  benefit  described in Treas.
Reg.  ss.1.411(d)-4,  including any optional form of benefit  provided under the
Plan which may not  (except in  accordance  with such  Regulations)  be reduced,
eliminated or made subject to Employer discretion.


     1.26. "Related  Group"/"Related  Employer." A Related Group is a controlled
group of  corporations  (as  defined in Code  ss.414(b)),  trades or  businesses
(whether or not incorporated) which are under common control (as defined in Code
ss.414(c)),  an affiliated  service  group (as defined in Code  ss.414(m)) or an
arrangement  otherwise described in Code ss.414(o).  Each Employer/member of the
Related Group is a Related Employer.  The term "Employer" includes every Related
Employer  for purposes of  crediting  Service and Hours of Service,  determining
Years of Service  and Breaks in Service  under  Articles  II and V,  determining
Separation  from  Service,  applying the Coverage  Test under  Section  3.06(E),
applying the  limitations on allocations in Part 2 of Article III,  applying the
top-heavy rules and the minimum allocation requirements of Article XII, applying
the  definitions of Employee,  Highly  Compensated  Employee,  Compensation  and
Leased Employee, applying the safe harbor 401(k) provisions of Section 14.02(D),
applying  the SIMPLE  401(k)  provisions  of Section  14.02(E) and for any other
purpose the Code or the Plan require.

     (A) Participating  Employer. An Employer may contribute to the Plan only by
being a  signatory  to the  Execution  Page of the  Adoption  Agreement  or to a
Participation  Agreement  to  the  Adoption  Agreement.  If a  Related  Employer
executes a  Participation  Agreement  to the  Adoption  Agreement,  the  Related
Employer is a Participating  Employer.  A Participating  Employer is an Employer
for all purposes of the Plan except as provided in Section 1.12.

     (B)  Standardized/Nonstandardized   Plan.  If  the  Employer's  Plan  is  a
Standardized Plan, all Employees of the Employer or of any Related Employer, are
eligible  to  participate  in the Plan,  irrespective  of  whether  the  Related
Employer   directly   employing  the  Employee  is  a  Participating   Employer.
Notwithstanding  the  immediately  preceding  sentence,  individuals  who become
Employees of a Related  Employer as a result of a transaction  described in Code
ss.410(b)(6)(C) are not eligible to participate in the Plan during the Plan Year
in which such  transaction  occurs nor in the  following  Plan Year,  unless the
Related  Employer  which  employs such  Employees  becomes  during such period a
Participating  Employer, by executing a Participation  Agreement to the Adoption
Agreement.  If the Plan is a  Nonstandardized  Plan,  the Employees of a Related
Employer are not eligible to participate in the Plan unless the Related Employer
is a Participating Employer.


     1.27.  "Self-Employed  Individual"/"Owner-Employee"/"Shareholder-Employee."
"Self-Employed  Individual"  means an  individual  who has Earned Income (or who
would have had Earned Income but for the fact that the trade or business did not
have net  profits) for the taxable year from the trade or business for which the
Plan is established.  "Owner-Employee"  means a Self-Employed  Individual who is
the sole proprietor in the case of a sole  proprietorship.  If the Employer is a
partnership,  or a limited  liability  company  taxed  for  federal  income  tax
purposes as a partnership, "Owner-Employee" means a Self-Employed Individual who
is a partner  or member  and owns more  than 10% of either  the  capital  or the
profits  interest  of the  partnership  or of  the  limited  liability  company.
"Shareholder-Employee"  means an employee or officer of an "S"  corporation  who
owns (or is  considered as owning under Code  ss.318(a)(1))  more than 5% of the
outstanding  stock of the  corporation on any day of the  corporation's  taxable
year.


     1.28.  "Separation from Service" means an event after which the Employee no
longer has an employment relationship with the Employer maintaining this Plan or
with a Related Employer.


     1.29.  "Service"  means any period of time the Employee is in the employ of
the Employer, including any period the Employee is on an unpaid leave of absence
authorized by the Employer under a uniform,  nondiscriminatory policy applicable
to all Employees.


     1.30. "Service with a Predecessor  Employer." If the Employer maintains the
plan of a predecessor  employer,  service of the Employee  with the  predecessor
employer is Service with the  Employer.  If the  Employer  does not maintain the
plan of a  predecessor  employer,  the Plan  does not  credit  service  with the
predecessor  employer,  unless the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  (or in a
Participation  Agreement, if applicable) elects to credit designated predecessor
employer  service  and  specifies  the  purposes  for which the Plan will credit
service with that predecessor employer.

     Unless the Employer under its Adoption  Agreement Section 2.01 provides for
this purpose  specific  Plan Entry Dates,  an Employee who  satisfies the Plan's
eligibility  condition(s) by reason of the crediting of predecessor service will
enter the Plan in  accordance  with the  provisions  of  Section  2.04 as if the
Employee  were a  re-employed  Employee  on  the  first  day  the  Plan  credits
predecessor service.


     1.31. "Trust" means the separate Trust created under the Plan.


     1.32.  "Trust Fund" means all  property of every kind  acquired by the Plan
and held by the Trust, other than incidental benefit insurance contracts.


     1.33.  "Trustee"  means the person or persons  who as Trustee  execute  the
Adoption  Agreement,  or any  successor  in office  who in writing  accepts  the
position of Trustee.  The Employer  must  designate  in its  Adoption  Agreement
whether the Trustee will administer the Trust as a discretionary Trustee or as a
nondiscretionary  Trustee.  If a person  acts as a  discretionary  Trustee,  the
Employer  also may appoint a  Custodian.  See Article X. If the  Prototype  Plan
Sponsor is a bank,  savings and loan  association,  credit  union,  mutual fund,
insurance company, or other institution  qualified to serve as Trustee, a person
other  than the  Prototype  Plan  Sponsor  (or its  affiliate)  may not serve as
Trustee or as Custodian of the Plan without the written consent of the Prototype
Plan Sponsor.


     1.34.  "Vested" means a Participant or a Beneficiary  has an  unconditional
claim,  legally  enforceable  against  the Plan,  to the  Participant's  Account
Balance or Accrued Benefit.


                                   ARTICLE II.
                          ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

     2.01. ELIGIBILITY. Each eligible Employee becomes a Participant in the Plan
in  accordance  with the  eligibility  provisions  the  Employer  elects  in its
Adoption  Agreement.  If this Plan is a restated  Plan,  each Employee who was a
Participant in the Plan on the day before the restated  Effective Date continues
as a Participant in the restated Plan,  irrespective of whether he/she satisfies
the eligibility  conditions of the restated Plan,  unless the Employer  provides
otherwise in its Adoption  Agreement.  If the Employer  contributes  to the Plan
under a Davis-Bacon  contract,  except as the contract provides,  the Employer's
Adoption Agreement elections imposing age and service eligibility  conditions do
not apply with respect to an Employee performing Davis-Bacon contract Service.

     2.02.   AGE  AND  SERVICE   CONDITIONS.   For  purposes  of  an  Employee's
participation  in the  Plan,  the  Plan:  (1) may not  impose  an age  condition
exceeding  age 21; and (2) takes into  account  all of the  Employee's  Years of
Service with the Employer, except as provided in Section 2.03. "Year of Service"
for purposes of an Employee's  participation in the Plan, means a 12-consecutive
month  eligibility  computation  period during which the Employee  completes the
number of Hours of Service (not exceeding  1,000) the Employer  specifies in its
Adoption Agreement.

     The  initial  eligibility  computation  period is the first  12-consecutive
month period measured from the Employee's Employment Commencement Date. The Plan
measures  succeeding  12-consecutive  month eligibility  computation  periods in
accordance  with the  Employer's  election  in its  Adoption  Agreement.  If the
Employer elects to measure  subsequent periods on a Plan Year basis, an Employee
who  receives  credit for the  required  number of Hours of  Service  during the
initial eligibility computation period and also during the first applicable Plan
Year  receives  credit for two Years of Service  under  Article II.  "Employment
Commencement  Date" means the date on which the Employee  first performs an Hour
of Service for the Employer.

     If the Employer under Adoption Agreement Section 2.01 elects an alternative
Service  condition to one Year of Service or two Years of Service,  the Employer
must  elect  in the  Adoption  Agreement  the  Hour of  Service  and  any  other
requirement(s),  if any, after the Employee completes one Hour of Service. Under
any alternative Service condition election, the Plan may not require an Employee
to  complete  more  than  one  Year  of  Service  (1,000  Hours  of  Service  in
12-consecutive months) or two Years of Service if applicable.

     If the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  elects to apply the Equivalency
Method or the Elapsed  Time Method in applying  the Plan's  eligibility  Service
condition,  the Plan  Administrator  will  credit  Service  in  accordance  with
Sections 1.15(C) and (D).

     2.03.  BREAK IN SERVICE -  PARTICIPATION.  An  Employee  incurs a "Break in
Service" if during any  applicable  12-consecutive  month period he/she does not
complete more than 500 Hours of Service with the Employer.  The  "12-consecutive
month  period" under this Section 2.03 is the same  12-consecutive  month period
for which the Plan measures a "Year of Service"  under Section 2.02. If the Plan
applies the Elapsed Time Method of crediting  Service under Section  1.15(D),  a
Participant  incurs a "Break  in  Service"  if the  Participant  has a Period of
Severance of at least 12 consecutive months.

     (A) Two Year Eligibility.  If the Employer under Adoption Agreement Section
2.01  elects a two Years of  Service  condition  for  eligibility  purposes,  an
Employee who incurs a one year Break in Service prior to completing two Years of
Service is a new Employee on the date he/she  first  performs an Hour of Service
for the Employer after the Break in Service,  and the Employee establishes a new
Employment Commencement Date for purposes of the initial eligibility computation
period under Section 2.02.

     (B) One Year  Hold-Out  Rule.  The  Employer  must  elect  in its  Adoption
Agreement   whether   to  apply  the  one  year   hold-out   rule   under   Code
ss.410(a)(5)(C).  Under this rule,  a  Participant  will incur a  suspension  of
participation  in the Plan after  incurring  a one year Break in Service and the
Plan  disregards a Participant's  Service  completed prior to a Break in Service
until the  Participant  completes  one Year of  Service  following  the Break in
Service. The Plan suspends the Participant's participation in the Plan as of the
first day of the Plan  Year  following  the Plan  Year in which the  Participant
incurs the Break in Service.  If the  Participant  completes one Year of Service
following  his/her  Break in  Service,  the  Plan  restores  that  Participant's
pre-Break Service (and the Participant resumes active participation in the Plan)
retroactively  to  the  first  day  of  the  computation  period  in  which  the
Participant  first  completes  one Year of Service  following  his/her  Break in
Service.  The  initial  computation  period  under this  Section  2.03(B) is the
12-consecutive  month  period  measured  from  the date  the  Participant  first
receives credit for an Hour of Service  following the one year Break in Service.
The Plan measures any subsequent computation periods, if necessary,  in a manner
consistent  with the  Employer's  eligibility  computation  period  election  in
Adoption  Agreement  Section 2.02. If the Employer  elects to apply the one year
hold-out rule, the Employer also must elect in its Adoption Agreement whether to
limit  application  of the  rule  only  to a  Participant  who  has  incurred  a
Separation from Service.

     The Plan  Administrator  also will  apply the  one-year  hold out rule,  if
applicable,  to an Employee who satisfies the Plan's eligibility  conditions but
who incurs a Separation  from  Service and a one year Break in Service  prior to
becoming a Participant.

     This Section 2.03(B) does not affect a  Participant's  vesting credit under
Article V and, during a suspension period,  the Participant's  Account continues
to share fully in Trust Fund allocations under Article IX. Furthermore, the Plan
Administrator  in applying  this  Section  2.03(B)  does not restore any Service
disregarded under the Break in Service rule of Section 2.03(A).

     (C) No  Application  to 401(k)  Arrangement.  If the Plan includes a 401(k)
arrangement  and the  Employer  in its  Adoption  Agreement  elects to apply the
Section  2.03(B) one year hold-out rule, the Plan  Administrator  will apply the
provisions  of Section  2.04 to the deferral  contributions  portion of the Plan
without regard to Section 2.03(B).

     (D) No Rule of Parity - Participation.  For purposes of Plan participation,
the Plan does not apply the "rule of parity" under Code ss.410(a)(5)(D).

     2.04.  PARTICIPATION  UPON  RE-EMPLOYMENT.   A  Participant  who  incurs  a
Separation  from Service will re-enter the Plan as a Participant  on the date of
his/her re-employment with the Employer,  subject to the one year hold-out rule,
if  applicable,  under  Section  2.03(B).  An Employee who  satisfies the Plan's
eligibility  conditions  but who  incurs  a  Separation  from  Service  prior to
becoming a Participant  will become a Participant on the later of the Plan Entry
Date on which  he/she  would have  entered  the Plan had  he/she not  incurred a
Separation from Service or the date of his/her re-employment, subject to the one
year hold-out  rule, if  applicable,  under  Section  2.03(B).  Any Employee who
incurs a Separation  from Service  prior to  satisfying  the Plan's  eligibility
conditions  becomes a Participant in accordance with Adoption  Agreement Section
2.01.

     2.05. CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT  STATUS.  The Employer in its Adoption Agreement
Section  1.11 may elect to exclude  certain  Employees  from Plan  participation
("excluded  Employees").  If a  Participant  has not incurred a Separation  from
Service but becomes an excluded  Employee,  during the period of  exclusion  the
excluded Employee will not share in the allocation of any Employer contributions
or Participant forfeitures,  and may not make deferral contributions if the Plan
includes a 401(k) arrangement, with respect to Compensation paid to the excluded
Employee  during  the  period  of  exclusion.  However,  during  such  period of
exclusion,  the  Participant,   without  regard  to  employment  classification,
continues to receive  credit for vesting  under Article V for each included Year
of Service and the Participant's  Account continues to share fully in Trust Fund
allocations  under Article IX. If a Participant who becomes an excluded Employee
subsequently  resumes  status as an  eligible  Employee,  the  Participant  will
participate in the Plan  immediately upon resuming  eligible status,  subject to
the one year hold-out rule, if applicable, under Section 2.03(B).

     If an  excluded  Employee  who is not a  Participant  becomes  an  eligible
Employee,  he/she  will  participate  immediately  in the  Plan  if  he/she  has
satisfied  the  eligibility  conditions of Adoption  Agreement  Section 2.01 and
would have been a Participant  had he/she not been an excluded  Employee  during
his/her period of Service.  Furthermore,  the excluded  Employee receives credit
for  vesting  under  Article  V  for  each  included  vesting  Year  of  Service
notwithstanding the Employee's excluded Employee status.

     2.06. ELECTION NOT TO PARTICIPATE.  If the Plan is a Standardized Plan, the
Plan does not permit an otherwise eligible Employee nor any Participant to elect
not to participate  in the Plan  ("opt-out").  If the Plan is a  Nonstandardized
Plan,  the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  must elect  whether any eligible
Employee may elect  irrevocably  to opt-out.  The Employee prior to his/her Plan
Entry Date must file an opt-out election in writing with the Plan  Administrator
on a form provided by the Plan Administrator for this purpose.


                                  ARTICLE III.
                     EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND FORFEITURES

     Part 1. Amount of Employer  Contributions  and Plan  Allocations:  Sections
3.01 through 3.06

     3.01. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS.

     (A)  Amount  and  Types  of  Contribution.  The  Employer  in its  Adoption
Agreement  will elect the amount and type(s) of Employer  Plan  contribution(s).
The Employer will not make a contribution  to the Trust for any Plan Year to the
extent the  contribution  would  exceed the  Participants'  Maximum  Permissible
Amounts. Unless otherwise provided in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement, the
Employer need not have net profits to make a contribution under the Plan. If the
Employer's Plan is a money purchase pension plan and the Employer also maintains
a defined benefit pension plan,  notwithstanding the money purchase pension plan
formula  in  the  Employer's   Adoption   Agreement,   the  Employer's  required
contribution  to its money  purchase  pension plan for a Plan Year is limited to
the amount  which the  Employer  may  deduct  under  Code  ss.404(a)(7).  If the
Employer under Code  ss.404(a)(7)  must reduce its money  purchase  pension plan
contribution,  the Plan Administrator will reduce each Participant's  allocation
in the same  ratio  as the  reduced  total  Employer  contribution  bears to the
original (unreduced) Employer contribution.

     (B) Form of  Contribution/Related  Employer.  Subject to the consent of the
Trustee,  the Employer may make its  contribution  in property  instead of cash,
provided the contribution of property is not a prohibited  transaction under the
Code or under  ERISA.  Unless the  Employer in its  Adoption  Agreement  makes a
contrary   election,   the  Plan   Administrator   will  allocate  all  Employer
contributions  and  forfeitures  without  regard to which  contributing  Related
Employer directly employs the affected Participants.

     (C) Time of Payment of Contribution.  The Employer may pay its contribution
for any Plan Year in one or more installments without interest. Unless otherwise
required  by  contract,  by the  Code or by  ERISA,  the  Employer  may make its
contribution  to the Plan for a  particular  Plan  Year at such  time(s)  as the
Employer in its sole discretion determines. If the Employer makes a contribution
for a particular  Plan Year after the close of that Plan Year, the Employer will
designate  in writing to the  Trustee  the Plan Year for which the  Employer  is
making its contribution.

     (D) Return of Employer  Contribution.  The Employer contributes to the Plan
on the  condition  its  contribution  is not due to a  mistake  of fact  and the
Internal  Revenue  Service  will not disallow  the  deduction of the  Employer's
contribution.  The Trustee, upon written request from the Employer,  must return
to the Employer the amount of the Employer's  contribution  made by the Employer
by mistake of fact or the amount of the Employer's  contribution disallowed as a
deduction  under Code  ss.404.  The  Trustee  will not return any portion of the
Employer's  contribution  under the provisions of this Section 3.01(D) more than
one year after:

     (1) The Employer made the contribution by mistake of fact; or

     (2) The disallowance of the contribution as a deduction,  and then, only to
the extent of the disallowance.

     The  Trustee  will not  increase  the amount of the  Employer  contribution
returnable  under this  Section  3.01(D) for any  earnings  attributable  to the
contribution, but the Trustee will decrease the Employer contribution returnable
for any losses  attributable  to the  contribution.  The Trustee may require the
Employer to furnish the Trustee whatever evidence the Trustee deems necessary to
enable the Trustee to confirm the amount the Employer has  requested be returned
is properly returnable under ERISA.

     3.02.  DEFERRAL  CONTRIBUTIONS.  If the Plan includes a 401(k) arrangement,
the  Employer in its  Adoption  Agreement  must elect the Plan  limitations  and
restrictions,  if any,  which  apply  to  deferral  contributions  or to cash or
deferred  contributions,  if applicable.  Under Adoption Agreement Section 3.02,
for  purposes of applying  any Plan limit the  Employer  has elected on deferral
contributions,  the  Employer  must elect to take into  account  the  Employee's
entire Plan Year  Compensation  or to limit  Compensation  to the portion of the
Plan Year in which the Employee actually is a Participant.

     3.03.  MATCHING  CONTRIBUTIONS.  If the Plan includes a 401(k) arrangement,
the  Employer  in its  Adoption  Agreement  must elect the  type(s) of  matching
contributions,  the time period applicable to any matching contribution formula,
and as applicable, the amount of matching contributions and the Plan limitations
and restrictions, if any, which apply to matching contributions.

     3.04. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION ALLOCATION.

     (A) Method of  Allocation.  The  Employer in its  Adoption  Agreement  must
specify,  subject  to this  Section  3.04,  the  manner of  allocating  Employer
contributions  to the  Trust.  For  purposes  of  this  Section  3.04,  Employer
contributions include as applicable,  the Employer's nonelective  contributions,
money  purchase  pension and target  benefit  contributions,  but do not include
deferral contributions or, except under Section 3.04(B), matching contributions.

     (B) Compensation Taken into Account. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement
Section 1.07 must specify the  Compensation  the Plan  Administrator  is to take
into account in allocating an Employer contribution to a Participant's  Account.
For the Plan Year in which the Employee  first becomes a Participant in the Plan
(or in any portion of the Plan), the Employer may elect to take into account the
Employee's entire Plan Year Compensation or to limit Compensation to the portion
of the Plan Year in which the Employee actually is a Participant.  For all other
Plan Years, the Plan  Administrator will take into account only the Compensation
determined for the portion of the Plan Year in which the Employee  actually is a
Participant. The Plan Administrator must take into account the Employee's entire
Compensation  for the Plan Year to  determine  whether  the Plan  satisfies  the
top-heavy minimum allocation  requirements of Article XII. The Employer,  in its
Adoption  Agreement,  may  elect to  measure  Compensation  for  allocating  its
Employer  contribution  for a Plan Year on the basis of a specified period other
than the Plan Year.

     (C) Top-Heavy Minimum Allocation. Unless the Employer in an Addendum to its
Adoption   Agreement  elects  to  satisfy  any  top-heavy   minimum   allocation
requirement in another plan (not maintained under this basic plan document), the
Employer in this Plan must satisfy the top-heavy requirements of Article XII.

     (D) Allocation  Conditions.  Subject to any restoration allocation required
under the  Plan,  the Plan  Administrator  will  allocate  and  credit  Employer
contributions  to the Account of each  Participant  who satisfies the allocation
conditions of Section 3.06.

     (E) Alternative  Allocation Formulas.  The Plan Administrator will allocate
Employer  contributions  for  the  Plan  Year  or  other  applicable  period  in
accordance  with the  allocation  formula the  Employer  elects in its  Adoption
Agreement.  The Plan  Administrator,  in allocating under any allocation formula
which is based in whole or in part on Compensation,  only will take into account
Compensation of those Participants entitled to an allocation.

     The  Employer  in  its  Adoption  Agreement  must  elect,  one or  more  as
applicable of the following allocation formulas:

     (1) Nonintegrated  (pro rata) allocation  formula.  The Plan  Administrator
will allocate the Employer  contributions for a Plan Year in the same ratio that
each   Participant's   Compensation  for  the  Plan  Year  bears  to  the  total
Compensation of all Participants for the Plan Year.

     (2) Two-tiered  permitted  disparity  allocation  formula.  Under the first
tier, the Plan Administrator will allocate the Employer contributions for a Plan
Year  in the  same  ratio  that  each  Participant's  Compensation  plus  Excess
Compensation (as defined in Adoption  Agreement  Section 3.04) for the Plan Year
bears to the total Compensation plus Excess Compensation of all Participants for
the Plan Year.  The  allocation  under this first tier,  as a percentage of each
Participant's  Compensation  plus  Excess  Compensation,  must  not  exceed  the
applicable percentage (5.7%, 5.4% or 4.3%) listed under Section 3.04(D)(4).

     Under the second tier, the Plan  Administrator  will allocate any remaining
Employer contributions for a Plan Year in the same ratio that each Participant's
Compensation  for  the  Plan  Year  bears  to  the  total  Compensation  of  all
Participants for the Plan Year.

     (3) Four-tiered  permitted disparity  allocation  formula.  Under the first
tier, the Plan Administrator will allocate the Employer contributions for a Plan
Year in the same ratio that each  Participant's  Compensation  for the Plan Year
bears to the total  Compensation of all  Participants for the Plan Year, but not
exceeding  3% of each  Participant's  Compensation.  Solely for purposes of this
first tier allocation, a "Participant" means, in addition to any Participant who
satisfies the allocation conditions of Section 3.06 for the Plan Year, any other
Participant entitled to a top-heavy minimum allocation under the Plan.

     Under the second tier,  the Plan  Administrator  will allocate the Employer
contributions for a Plan Year in the same ratio that each  Participant's  Excess
Compensation (as defined in Adoption  Agreement  Section 3.04) for the Plan Year
bears to the total Excess  Compensation of all  Participants  for the Plan Year,
but not exceeding 3% of each Participant's Excess Compensation.

     Under the third tier,  the Plan  Administrator  will  allocate the Employer
contributions  for a Plan  Year  in  the  same  ratio  that  each  Participant's
Compensation  plus  Excess  Compensation  for the Plan  Year  bears to the total
Compensation plus Excess Compensation of all Participants for the Plan Year. The
allocation  under  this  third  tier,  as a  percentage  of  each  Participant's
Compensation plus Excess Compensation, must not exceed the applicable percentage
(2.7%, 2.4% or 1.3%) listed under Section 3.04(D)(4).

     Under the fourth tier, the Plan  Administrator  will allocate any remaining
Employer   contributions   for  a  Plan  Year,  in  the  same  ratio  that  each
Participant's  Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of
all Participants for the Plan Year.

     (4)  Maximum  disparity  table.  For  purposes of the  permitted  disparity
allocation formulas under this Section 3.04, the applicable percentage is:

Integration level %           Applicable % for              Applicable % for
of taxable wage base          2-tiered formula              4-tiered formula
- --------------------          ----------------              ----------------
100%                          5.7%                          2.7%

More than 80% but             5.4%                          2.4%
less than 100%

More than 20% (but            4.3%                          1.3%
not less than $10,001)
and not more than 80%

20% (or $10,000, if
greater) or less              5.7%                          2.7%

     (5) Overall permitted disparity limits.

     (i) Annual overall  permitted  disparity  limit.  Notwithstanding  Sections
3.04(D)(2)  and (3),  for any Plan Year the Plan  benefits any  Participant  who
benefits  under another  qualified plan or under a simplified  employee  pension
plan (as defined in Code ss.408(k)) maintained by the Employer that provides for
permitted disparity (or imputes disparity), the Plan Administrator will allocate
Employer contributions to the Account of each Participant in the same ratio that
each  Participant's   Compensation  bears  to  the  total  Compensation  of  all
Participants for the Plan Year.

     (ii)  Cumulative  permitted  disparity  limit.  Effective  for  Plan  Years
beginning after December 31, 1994, the cumulative  permitted disparity limit for
a  Participant  is  35  total  cumulative   permitted  disparity  years.  "Total
cumulative  permitted disparity years" means the number of years credited to the
Participant  for  allocation  or  accrual  purposes  under the  Plan,  any other
qualified plan or simplified  employee  pension plan (whether or not terminated)
ever maintained by the Employer.  For purposes of determining the  Participant's
cumulative  permitted  disparity  limit, the Plan  Administrator  will treat all
years ending in the same calendar year as the same year. If the  Participant has
not benefited under a defined benefit plan or under a target benefit plan of the
Employer for any year beginning  after December 31, 1993, the  Participant  does
not have a cumulative permitted disparity limit.

     For purposes of this Section 3.04(D)(5), a Participant "benefits" under the
Plan for any Plan Year during which the  Participant  receives,  or is deemed to
receive,   a   contribution   allocation   in   accordance   with  Treas.   Reg.
ss.1.410(b)-3(a).

     (6) Uniform points allocation formula. The Plan Administrator will allocate
the  Employer  contributions  for a  Plan  Year  in the  same  ratio  that  each
Participant's points (as elected in Adoption Agreement Section 3.04) bear to the
total points of all Participants for the Plan Year.

     (7)  Incorporation of contribution  formula.  The Plan  Administrator  will
allocate the  Employer's  contributions  for a Plan Year in accordance  with the
contribution formula the Employer has elected under Section 3.01.

     (8) Target benefit allocation formula. The Plan Administrator will allocate
the Employer  contributions for a Plan Year as provided in the Employer's target
benefit Adoption Agreement.

     (9) Davis-Bacon  contract allocation  formula.  The Plan Administrator will
allocate  the  Employer  contributions  for a Plan Year in  accordance  with the
applicable  Davis-Bacon  contract  pursuant to which the  Employer  has made its
contributions  for the Plan Year.  The Employer's  contributions  will take into
account  each  Participant's  hourly  rate,   employment  category,   employment
classification and such other factors the Davis-Bacon  contract may specify. For
purposes of the Plan, "Davis-Bacon contract" includes a contract under any state
prevailing wage law.

 (F) Qualified  Nonelective  Contributions.  The Employer  operationally may
designate  all or any portion of its  nonelective  contributions  as a qualified
nonelective  contribution.  The Employer, to facilitate the Plan Administrator's
correction of test failures under Sections 14.08, 14.09 and 14.10, also may make
qualified  nonelective  contributions  to the Plan  irrespective  of whether the
Employer  in  its  Adoption   Agreement  has  elected  to  provide   nonelective
contributions.  The Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  must elect  whether the
Plan  Administrator  will  allocate the Employer  contributions  designated as a
qualified  nonelective  contribution to all  Participants or solely to Nonhighly
Compensated Employee Participants. The Employer operationally must elect whether
the Plan Administrator will allocate qualified nonelective contributions: (1) to
eligible  Participants  pro rata in  relation to  Compensation;  (2) to eligible
Participants in the same amount without regard to Compensation (flat dollar); or
(3) under the reverse  allocation  or other  similar  method.  Under the reverse
allocation  method,  the Plan  Administrator,  subject  to  Section  3.06,  will
allocate a qualified nonelective contribution first to the Nonhighly Compensated
Employee  Participant(s)  with the  lowest  Compensation  for the Plan  Year not
exceeding  the  Maximum  Permissible  Amount  for  each  Participant,  with  any
remaining  amounts  allocated  to the next highest  paid  Nonhighly  Compensated
Employee  Participant(s)  not exceeding his/her Maximum  Permissible  Amount and
continuing in this manner until the Plan  Administrator  has fully allocated the
qualified nonelective contribution.

     (G) Qualified Replacement Plan. The Employer may establish or maintain this
Plan as a qualified  replacement  plan as described in Code ss.4980  under which
the Plan may receive a transfer from a terminating  qualified  plan the Employer
also maintains.  The Plan Administrator will credit the transferred amounts to a
suspense  account  under the Plan and  thereafter  the Plan  Administrator  will
allocate the  transferred  amounts under this Section 3.04(G) in the same manner
as the Plan Administrator allocates Employer nonelective  contributions,  unless
the Employer  specifies in an Addendum to its Adoption  Agreement:  (1) to apply
such transferred amounts to the Plan's  administrative  expenses;  or (2) if the
Plan includes a 401(k) arrangement, the Employer in its Addendum designates such
transferred amounts as matching contributions.

     3.05 FORFEITURE ALLOCATION. The amount of a Participant's Account forfeited
under the Plan is a Participant forfeiture.  The Plan Administrator,  subject to
Section  3.06,  will  allocate  Participant  forfeitures  at the time and in the
manner the Employer specifies in its Adoption Agreement.  The Plan Administrator
will continue to hold the undistributed,  non-Vested portion of the Account of a
Participant  who has separated from Service  solely for his/her  benefit until a
forfeiture occurs at the time specified in Section 5.09 or if applicable,  until
the time  specified in Section  9.11.  Except as provided  under Section 5.04, a
Participant  will not share in the  allocation of a forfeiture of any portion of
his/her  Account.  If  the  Plan  includes  a  401(k)   arrangement,   the  Plan
Administrator   first  will  determine  if  a   Participant's   forfeitures  are
attributable  to  nonelective  or  to  matching  contributions,   and  the  Plan
Administrator  then will allocate the forfeitures in the manner the Employer has
elected  in  its  Adoption  Agreement.   If  the  Employer  elects  to  allocate
forfeitures to reduce nonelective or matching  contributions and the forfeitures
exceed the amount of the contribution to which the Plan Administrator will apply
the forfeitures,  the Plan Administrator will allocate the remaining forfeitures
as  an  additional   discretionary   nonelective   or   discretionary   matching
contribution  or the  Plan  Administrator  will  apply  the  forfeitures  to the
Employer's  nonelective or matching  contribution in the succeeding Plan Year. A
Participant's  forfeiture  is  attributable  to  matching  contributions  if the
forfeiture is: (1) a non-Vested  matching  Account  forfeited in accordance with
Section 5.09 or, if applicable,  Section 9.11; (2) a non-Vested excess aggregate
contribution    (adjusted   for   earnings)    forfeited   in   correcting   for
nondiscrimination  failures  under  Section  14.09 or Section  14.10;  or (3) an
"associated  matching  contribution,"  which  includes any Vested or  non-Vested
matching  contribution  (adjusted  for  earnings)  made with respect to elective
deferrals  or  Employee  contributions  the Plan  Administrator  distributes  in
correction of Code ss.402(g),  Code ss.415 or  nondiscrimination  failures under
Sections  14.07,  14.08,  14.09 or 14.10.  An Employee  forfeits  an  associated
matching  contribution  unless  the  matching  contribution  is a Vested  excess
aggregate contribution distributed in accordance with Sections 14.09 or 14.10.

     3.06  ALLOCATION  CONDITIONS.  The Plan  Administrator  will  determine the
allocation conditions which apply to Employer contributions  (including matching
contributions) and Participant  forfeitures on the basis of the Plan Year (or on
any  other  basis  representing  a  reasonable  division  of the  Plan  Year) in
accordance  with  the  Employer's   elections  in  its  Adoption  Agreement.   A
Participant does not accrue an Employer contribution with respect to a Plan Year
or other  applicable  period  until the  Participant  satisfies  the  allocation
conditions  described in this Section 3.06. The Plan under a 401(k)  arrangement
may not impose any allocation conditions with respect to deferral contributions,
safe harbor contributions or SIMPLE contributions.

     (A)  Hours of  Service  Requirement.  Except as  required  to  satisfy  the
top-heavy minimum allocation  requirement of Article XII, the Plan Administrator
will not allocate any portion of an Employer contribution for a Plan Year to any
Participant's  Account  if the  Participant  does not  complete  the  applicable
minimum Hours of Service or consecutive calendar days of employment  requirement
the Employer  specifies in its Adoption  Agreement for the relevant period.  The
Employer in its Standardized  Adoption Agreement must elect whether to require a
Participant  to  complete  during a Plan  Year 501  Hours  of  Service  or to be
employed  for at least 91  consecutive  calendar  days  under the  Elapsed  Time
Method, to share in the allocation of Employer  contributions for that Plan Year
where the  Participant is not employed by the Employer on the Accounting Date of
that Plan Year,  including  the Plan Year in which the Employer  terminates  the
Plan.

     (B) "Last Day" Employment Requirement.  If the Plan is a Standardized Plan,
a Participant  who is employed by the Employer on the Accounting  Date of a Plan
Year will share in the allocation of Employer  contributions  for that Plan Year
without regard to the Participant's  Hours of Service completed during that Plan
Year. If the Plan is a  Nonstandardized  Plan,  the Employer must specify in its
Adoption  Agreement  whether the Participant  will benefit under the Plan if the
Participant is not employed by the Employer on the  Accounting  Date of the Plan
Year or other  specified date. If the Plan is a  Nonstandardized  money purchase
Plan  or  target  benefit  Plan,  the  Plan  conditions  Employer   contribution
allocations on a  Participant's  employment with the Employer on the last day of
the Plan Year for the Plan Year in which the Employer terminates the Plan.

     (C)  Death,  Disability  or Normal  Retirement  Age.  Unless  the  Employer
otherwise elects in its Adoption  Agreement,  any allocation  condition  elected
under  Adoption  Agreement  Section  3.06  does not  apply  for a Plan Year if a
Participant  incurs a Separation from Service during the Plan Year on account of
the  Participant's  death,  Disability or attainment of Normal Retirement Age in
the  current  Plan  Year  or on  account  of  the  Participant's  Disability  or
attainment of Normal Retirement Age in a prior Plan Year.

     (D) Other Conditions.  In allocating Employer contributions under the Plan,
the Plan  Administrator  will not apply any other  conditions  except  those the
Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement or otherwise as the Plan may require.

     (E) Suspension of Allocation  Conditions Under a Nonstandardized  Plan. The
suspension  provisions of this Section  3.06(E) do not apply unless the Employer
elects in its  Nonstandardized  Adoption  Agreement  to apply  them.  If Section
3.06(E)  applies,  the Plan  suspends  for a Plan  Year the  Adoption  Agreement
Section  3.06  allocation  conditions  if the Plan  fails in that  Plan  Year to
satisfy coverage under the Ratio  Percentage Test,  unless in an Addendum to its
Adoption  Agreement,  the Employer  specifies the Plan  Administrator will apply
this Section 3.06(E) using the Average Benefit Percentage Test described in Code
ss.410(b)(2).  A Plan satisfies  coverage under the Ratio Percentage Test if, on
the last day of the Plan Year,  the  Plan's  benefiting  ratio of the  Nonhighly
Compensated  Includible Employees is at least 70% of the benefiting ratio of the
Highly Compensated Includible Employees.

     The benefiting ratio of the Nonhighly  Compensated  Includible Employees is
the number of Nonhighly  Compensated  Includible  Employees benefiting under the
Plan over the number of the Includible  Employees who are Nonhighly  Compensated
Employees.  "Includible"  Employees  are all  Employees  other  than:  (1) those
Employees  excluded from  participating  in the Plan for the entire Plan Year by
reason of the collective  bargaining  unit or the nonresident  alien  exclusions
under Code  ss.410(b)(3)  or by reason of the age and  service  requirements  of
Article II; and (2) those  Employees who incur a Separation  from Service during
the Plan  Year and for the Plan  Year  fail to  complete  more than 500 Hours of
Service or at least 91 consecutive calendar days under the Elapsed Time Method.

     For purposes of  coverage,  an Employee is  benefiting  under the Plan on a
particular  date if, under  Section  3.04 of the Plan,  he/she is entitled to an
Employer  contribution  or to a Participant  forfeiture  allocation for the Plan
Year.

     If this Section  3.06(E)  applies for a Plan Year,  the Plan  Administrator
will suspend the allocation conditions for the Nonhighly Compensated  Includible
Employees who are Participants,  beginning first with the Includible Employee(s)
employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year,  then the  Includible
Employee(s)  who have the latest  Separation  from Service during the Plan Year,
and continuing to suspend the allocation conditions for each Includible Employee
who incurred an earlier Separation from Service, from the latest to the earliest
Separation  from Service date,  until the Plan  satisfies  coverage for the Plan
Year. If two or more Includible  Employees have a Separation from Service on the
same day, the Plan Administrator will suspend the allocation  conditions for all
such Includible Employees, irrespective of whether the Plan can satisfy coverage
by accruing benefits for fewer than all such Includible  Employees.  If the Plan
for any Plan Year suspends the allocation conditions for an Includible Employee,
that  Employee will share in the  allocation  for that Plan Year of the Employer
contribution  and  Participant  forfeitures,  if any,  without regard to whether
he/she has satisfied the allocation conditions of this Section 3.06.

     If  the  Plan  includes  Employer  matching  contributions  subject  to ACP
testing,  this Section 3.06(E) applies  separately to the Code ss.401(m) portion
of the Plan.

     Part 2. Limitations On Allocations: Sections 3.07 through 3.18

     [Note:  Sections 3.07 through 3.10 apply only to  Participants in this Plan
who do not participate,  and who have never  participated,  in another qualified
plan,  individual medical account (as defined in Code ss.415(l)(2)),  simplified
employee pension plan (as defined in Code ss.408(k)) or welfare benefit fund (as
defined in Code ss.419(e)) maintained by the Employer,  which provides an Annual
Addition.]

     3.07 ANNUAL ADDITIONS LIMITATION.  The amount of Annual Additions which the
Plan Administrator may allocate under this Plan to a Participant's Account for a
Limitation  Year may not exceed the Maximum  Permissible  Amount.  If the Annual
Additions the Plan  Administrator  otherwise  would allocate under the Plan to a
Participant's   Account  would  for  the  Limitation  Year  exceed  the  Maximum
Permissible  Amount, the Plan Administrator will not allocate the Excess Amount,
but will instead take any reasonable,  uniform and nondiscriminatory  action the
Plan Administrator determines necessary to avoid allocation of an Excess Amount.
Such actions  include,  but are not limited to, those  described in this Section
3.07.  If the Plan includes a 401(k)  arrangement,  the Plan  Administrator  may
apply  this  Section  3.07 in a  manner  which  maximizes  the  allocation  to a
Participant of Employer  contributions  (exclusive of the Participant's deferral
contributions).   Notwithstanding   any  contrary  Plan   provision,   the  Plan
Administrator,   for  the  Limitation   Year,   may:  (1)  suspend  or  limit  a
Participant's  additional Employee contributions or deferral contributions;  (2)
notify the  Employer to reduce the  Employer's  future Plan  contribution(s)  as
necessary to avoid  allocation  to a  Participant  of an Excess  Amount;  or (3)
suspend or limit the  allocation to a Participant  of any Employer  contribution
previously  made to the Plan  (exclusive  of deferral  contributions)  or of any
Participant  forfeiture.  If an allocation of Employer contributions  previously
made  (excluding  a  Participant's  deferral  contributions)  or of  Participant
forfeitures  would result in an Excess Amount to a  Participant's  Account,  the
Plan Administrator will allocate the Excess Amount to the remaining Participants
who are eligible for an allocation of Employer  contributions  for the Plan Year
in which  the  Limitation  Year  ends.  The Plan  Administrator  will  make this
allocation in accordance with the Plan's allocation method as if the Participant
whose Account  otherwise would receive the Excess Amount, is not eligible for an
allocation of Employer  contributions.  If the Plan Administrator allocates to a
Participant  an Excess  Amount,  Plan  Administrator  must dispose of the Excess
Amount in accordance with Section 3.10 (relating to certain  "reasonable errors"
and  allocation  of  forfeitures)  or, if Section 3.10 does not apply,  the Plan
Administrator will dispose of the Excess Amount under Section 9.12.

     3.08  ESTIMATING   COMPENSATION.   Prior  to  the   determination   of  the
Participant's  actual Compensation for a Limitation Year, the Plan Administrator
may determine the Maximum  Permissible  Amount on the basis of the Participant's
estimated annual  Compensation for such Limitation Year. The Plan  Administrator
must  make  this  determination  on a  reasonable  and  uniform  basis  for  all
Participants   similarly  situated.  The  Plan  Administrator  must  reduce  the
allocation  of  any  Employer   contributions   (including   any  allocation  of
forfeitures)  based on  estimated  annual  Compensation  by any  Excess  Amounts
carried over from prior Limitation Years.

     3.09   DETERMINATION   BASED  ON  ACTUAL   COMPENSATION.   As  soon  as  is
administratively  feasible  after  the  end of the  Limitation  Year,  the  Plan
Administrator  will determine the Maximum  Permissible Amount for the Limitation
Year on the basis of the Participant's  actual  Compensation for such Limitation
Year.

     3.10  DISPOSITION OF ALLOCATED  EXCESS AMOUNT.  If, because of a reasonable
error in estimating a Participant's actual Limitation Year Compensation, because
of the allocation of forfeitures, because of a reasonable error in determining a
Participant's   deferral  contributions  or  because  of  any  other  facts  and
circumstances  the Internal  Revenue Service  ("Revenue  Service")  considers to
constitute  reasonable error, a Participant  receives an allocation of an Excess
Amount for a Limitation Year, the Plan Administrator will dispose of such Excess
Amount as follows:

     (a) The  Plan  Administrator  first  will  return  to the  Participant  any
Employee contributions (adjusted for earnings) and then any Participant deferral
contributions  (adjusted  for  earnings)  to the extent  necessary  to reduce or
eliminate the Excess Amount.

     (b) If,  after the  application  of Paragraph  (a), an Excess  Amount still
exists and the Plan covers the  Participant at the end of the  Limitation  Year,
the Plan  Administrator  then will use the  Excess  Amount(s)  to reduce  future
Employer contributions  (including any allocation of forfeitures) under the Plan
for the next  Limitation  Year and for each  succeeding  Limitation  Year, as is
necessary, for the Participant. If the Employer's Plan is a profit sharing plan,
a Participant  who is a Highly  Compensated  Employee may elect to limit his/her
Compensation  for allocation  purposes to the extent necessary to reduce his/her
allocation  for the  Limitation  Year to the Maximum  Permissible  Amount and to
eliminate the Excess Amount.

     (c) If,  after the  application  of Paragraph  (a), an Excess  Amount still
exists and the Plan does not cover the  Participant at the end of the Limitation
Year, the Plan  Administrator  then will hold the Excess Amount unallocated in a
suspense  account.  The Plan  Administrator  will apply the suspense  account to
reduce Employer Contributions  (including the allocation of forfeitures) for all
remaining  Participants  in the next  Limitation  Year,  and in each  succeeding
Limitation  Year  if  necessary.  Neither  the  Employer  nor any  Employee  may
contribute  to the Plan for any  Limitation  Year in which the Plan is unable to
allocate  fully a suspense  account  maintained  pursuant to this Paragraph (c).
Amounts held  unallocated in a suspense account will not share in any allocation
of Trust Fund net income, gain or loss.

     (d) The Plan Administrator  under Paragraphs (b) or (c) will not distribute
any Excess Amount(s) to Participants or to former Participants.

     [Note:  Sections  3.11  through  3.15 apply only to  Participants  who,  in
addition to this Plan, participate in one or more M&P defined contribution plans
(including Paired Plans),  welfare benefit funds (as defined in Code ss.419(e)),
individual  medical  accounts (as defined in Code  ss.415(l)(2),  or  simplified
employee pension plans (as defined in Code ss.408(k)) maintained by the Employer
and which provide an Annual Addition  during the Limitation  Year  (collectively
"Code ss.415 aggregated plans").]

     3.11  COMBINED  PLANS  ANNUAL  ADDITIONS  LIMITATION.  The amount of Annual
Additions  which  the Plan  Administrator  may  allocate  under  this  Plan to a
Participant's  Account  for  a  Limitation  Year  may  not  exceed  the  Maximum
Permissible Amount,  reduced by the sum of any Annual Additions allocated to the
Participant's  accounts  for the same  Limitation  Year  under  the Code  ss.415
aggregated  plans.  If the amount the Employer  otherwise  would allocate to the
Participant's  Account under this Plan would cause the Annual  Additions for the
Limitation  Year to exceed this  Section 3.11  combined  plans  limitation,  the
Employer will reduce the amount of its allocation to that Participant's  Account
in the manner  described in Section 3.07, so the Annual  Additions  under all of
the Code ss.415  aggregated plans for the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum
Permissible  Amount.  If the Plan  Administrator  allocates to a Participant  an
amount  attributed  to this Plan under  Section 3.14 which  exceeds this Section
3.11  combined  plans  limitation,  the Plan  Administrator  must dispose of the
Excess Amount in accordance  with Section 3.15 (relating to certain  "reasonable
errors" and allocation of forfeitures)  or, if Section 3.15 does not apply,  the
Plan Administrator will dispose of the Excess Amount under Section 9.12.

     3.12  ESTIMATING   COMPENSATION.   Prior  to  the   determination   of  the
Participant's   actual   Compensation   for  the   Limitation   Year,  the  Plan
Administrator  may determine the Section 3.11 combined  plans  limitation on the
basis of the  Participant's  estimated  annual  Compensation for such Limitation
Year. The Plan  Administrator  will make this  determination on a reasonable and
uniform basis for all Participants  similarly  situated.  The Plan Administrator
must  reduce  the  allocation  of  any  Employer  contribution   (including  the
allocation of Participant forfeitures) based on estimated annual Compensation by
any Excess Amounts carried over from prior years.

     3.13   DETERMINATION   BASED  ON  ACTUAL   COMPENSATION.   As  soon  as  is
administratively  feasible  after  the  end of the  Limitation  Year,  the  Plan
Administrator  will determine the Section 3.11 combined plans  limitation on the
basis of the Participant's actual Compensation for such Limitation Year.

     3.14 ORDERING OF ANNUAL ADDITION  ALLOCATIONS.  If, because of a reasonable
error in estimating a Participant's actual Limitation Year Compensation, because
of the allocation of forfeitures, because of a reasonable error in determining a
Participant's   deferral  contributions  or  because  of  any  other  facts  and
circumstances  the Revenue Service  considers to constitute  reasonable error, a
Participant's  Annual  Additions under this Plan and the Code ss.415  aggregated
plans result in an Excess Amount, such Excess Amount will consist of the Amounts
last allocated. The Plan Administrator will determine the Amounts last allocated
by treating the Annual Additions  attributable to a simplified  employee pension
as  allocated  first,  followed  by  allocation  to a  welfare  benefit  fund or
individual  medical account,  irrespective of the actual allocation date. If the
Plan Administrator  allocates an Excess Amount to a Participant on an allocation
date of this Plan which  coincides  with an  allocation  date of  another  plan,
unless  the  Employer  specifies  otherwise  in  an  Addendum  to  its  Adoption
Agreement, the Excess Amount attributed to this Plan will equal the product of:

     (a) the total Excess Amount allocated as of such date, multiplied by

     (b) the ratio of (i) the Annual  Additions  allocated to the Participant as
of such date for the  Limitation  Year  under the Plan to (ii) the total  Annual
Additions  allocated to the  Participant as of such date for the Limitation Year
under this Plan and the Code ss.415 aggregated plans.

     3.15 DISPOSITION OF ALLOCATED EXCESS AMOUNT  ATTRIBUTABLE TO PLAN. The Plan
Administrator  will dispose of any  allocated  Excess  Amounts  described in and
attributed  to this Plan under  Section  3.14 as provided in Section 3.10 or, as
applicable under Section 9.12.

     [Note:  Section 3.16 applies only to Participants  who, in addition to this
Plan, participate in one or more qualified defined contribution plans maintained
by the  Employer  during  the  Limitation  Year,  but  which  are not M&P  plans
described in Sections 3.11 through 3.15.]

     3.16 OTHER DEFINED  CONTRIBUTION  PLANS  LIMITATION.  If a Participant is a
participant in another defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, but
which plan is not an M&P plan  described in Sections 3.11 through 3.15, the Plan
Administrator  must limit the allocation to the Participant of Annual  Additions
under this Plan as provided in Sections  3.11 through  3.15, as though the other
defined  contribution  plan  were an M&P plan,  unless  the  Employer  specifies
otherwise in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement.

     3.17 DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN LIMITATION.  If the Employer  maintains a defined
benefit plan, or has ever  maintained a defined  benefit plan which the Employer
has  terminated,  then the sum of the  defined  benefit  plan  fraction  and the
defined  contribution  plan fraction for any Participant for any Limitation Year
beginning before January 1, 2000, must not exceed 1.0. The 1.0 limitation of the
immediately  preceding  sentence does not apply for Limitation  Years  beginning
after  December  31,  1999,  unless the  Employer in Appendix B to its  Adoption
Agreement  specifies a later effective date. To the extent  necessary to satisfy
the 1.0 limitation,  if the Employer still maintains the defined benefit plan as
an active plan,  the Employer in its  Adoption  Agreement  Appendix B will elect
whether to reduce the  Participant's  projected annual benefit under the defined
benefit  plan  under  which  the  Participant  participates,  or to  reduce  its
contribution  or  allocation  on  behalf  of  the  Participant  to  the  defined
contribution plan(s) under which the Participant  participates.  If the Employer
has frozen or terminated the defined  benefit plan, the Employer will reduce its
contribution  or  allocation  on  behalf  of  the  Participant  to  the  defined
contribution plan(s) under which the Participant participates. The Employer must
provide in  Appendix B to its  Adoption  Agreement  the manner in which the Plan
will satisfy the top-heavy requirements of Code ss.416 after taking into account
the existence (or prior maintenance) of the defined benefit plan.

     3.18 DEFINITIONS - ARTICLE III. For purposes of Article III:

     (a) "Annual  Additions" means the sum of the following amounts allocated to
a Participant's  Account for a Limitation  Year: (i) all Employer  contributions
(including Participant deferral contributions);  (ii) all forfeitures; (iii) all
Employee  contributions;  (iv)  Excess  Amounts  reapplied  to  reduce  Employer
contributions  under Section 3.10 or Section 3.15; (v) amounts  allocated  after
March  31,  1984,  to  an  individual   medical  account  (as  defined  in  Code
ss.415(l)(2))  included as part of a pension or annuity plan  maintained  by the
Employer;  (vi)  contributions  paid or accrued  after  December 31,  1985,  for
taxable years ending after December 31, 1985,  attributable  to  post-retirement
medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a key-employee (as defined
in  Code  ss.419A(d)(3))  under a  welfare  benefit  fund  (as  defined  in Code
ss.419(e))  maintained  by  the  Employer;   (vii)  amounts  allocated  under  a
Simplified  Employee  Pension Plan; and (viii)  corrected  excess  contributions
described  in  Code  ss.401(k)  and  corrected  excess  aggregate  contributions
described in Code ss.401(m). Excess deferrals described in Code ss.402(g), which
the Plan  Administrator  corrects by  distribution  by April 15 of the following
calendar year, are not Annual Additions.

     (b)  "Compensation"  for purposes of applying the  limitations of Part 2 of
this Article III, means  Compensation  as defined in Section 1.07,  except,  for
Limitation  Years  beginning  after  December  31, 1997,  Compensation  includes
Elective  Contributions,  irrespective  of whether the  Employer  has elected to
include  these  amounts  as  Compensation  under  Section  1.07 of its  Adoption
Agreement  and any  exclusion  the  Employer  has elected in Section 1.07 of the
Adoption Agreement does not apply.

     (c)  "Employer"  means the  Employer and any Related  Employer.  Solely for
purposes of applying  the  limitations  of Part 2 of this  Article III, the Plan
Administrator will determine Related Employer by modifying Code ss.ss.414(b) and
(c) in accordance with Code ss.415(h).

     (d) "Excess Amount" means the excess of the Participant's  Annual Additions
for the Limitation Year over the Maximum Permissible Amount.

     (e) "Limitation  Year" means the period the Employer elects in its Adoption
Agreement  Section 1.24.  All qualified  plans of the Employer must use the same
Limitation  Year.  If the  Employer  amends the  Limitation  Year to a different
12-consecutive month period, the new Limitation Year must begin on a date within
the Limitation Year for which the Employer makes the amendment, creating a short
Limitation Year.

     (f) "M&P Plan" means a prototype plan the form of which is the subject of a
favorable  opinion letter (or prior to Revenue  Procedure  2000-20,  a favorable
notification or favorable opinion letter) from the Revenue Service.

     (g) "Maximum  Permissible  Amount" means the lesser of: (i) $30,000 (or, if
greater,  the $30,000 amount as adjusted under Code  ss.415(d)),  or (ii) 25% of
the  Participant's  Compensation  for the  Limitation  Year. If there is a short
Limitation Year because of a change in Limitation  Year, the Plan  Administrator
will multiply the $30,000 (or adjusted) limitation by the following fraction:

     Number of months in the short Limitation Year
     ---------------------------------------------
                          12

     The 25% limitation does not apply to any  contribution for medical benefits
within the meaning of Code ss.401(h) or Code ss.419A(f)(2) which otherwise is an
Annual Addition.

     (h) "Defined  contribution plan" means a retirement plan which provides for
an individual  account for each participant and for benefits based solely on the
amount contributed to the participant's account, and any income, expenses, gains
and losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other participants which the plan
may allocate to such  participant's  account.  The Plan Administrator must treat
all defined  contribution  plans (whether or not  terminated)  maintained by the
Employer as a single plan.  Solely for purposes of the  limitations of Part 2 of
this  Article  III,  employee  contributions  made  to a  defined  benefit  plan
maintained by the Employer is a separate  defined  contribution  plan.  The Plan
Administrator  also will  treat as a  defined  contribution  plan an  individual
medical account (as defined in Code ss.415(l)(2))  included as part of a defined
benefit  plan  maintained  by the Employer  and, for taxable  years ending after
December 31, 1985, a welfare benefit fund under Code ss.419(e) maintained by the
Employer to the extent there are  post-retirement  medical benefits allocated to
the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code ss.419A(d)(3)).

     (i) "Defined  benefit plan" means a retirement  plan which does not provide
for individual  accounts for Employer  contributions.  All defined benefit plans
(whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer are a single plan.

     [Note:  The  definitions  in Paragraphs  (j), (k) and (l) apply only if the
limitation described in Section 3.17 applies to the Plan.]

     (j) "Defined benefit plan fraction" means the following fraction:




                Projected annual benefit of the Participant under
                           the defined benefit plan(s)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          The lesser of: (i) 125% (subject to the "100% limitation" in
                              Paragraph (l)) of the
                     dollar limitation in effect under Code
                   ss.415(b)(1)(A) for the Limitation Year, or
               (ii) 140% of the Participant's average Compensation
                                   for his/her
                   high three (3) consecutive Years of Service

     To determine the denominator of this fraction,  the Plan Administrator will
make any  adjustment  required under Code ss.415(b) and will determine a Year of
Service,  unless the Employer provides  otherwise in an Addendum to its Adoption
Agreement,  as a Plan Year in which the Employee  completed at least 1,000 Hours
of Service.  The "projected  annual  benefit" is the annual  retirement  benefit
(adjusted  to an  actuarially  equivalent  straight  life annuity if the defined
benefit plan expresses such benefit in a form other than a straight life annuity
or qualified joint and survivor  annuity) of the Participant  under the terms of
the defined benefit plan on the assumptions  he/she  continues  employment until
his/her  normal  retirement  age (or  current  age,  if  later) as stated in the
defined  benefit  plan,  his/her  compensation  continues at the same rate as in
effect in the  Limitation  Year  under  consideration  until the date of his/her
normal retirement age and all other relevant factors used to determine  benefits
under the defined benefit plan remain constant as of the current Limitation Year
for all future Limitation Years.

     Current Accrued Benefit. If the Participant accrued benefits in one or more
defined benefit plans  maintained by the Employer which were in existence on May
6, 1986, the dollar limitation used in the denominator of this fraction will not
be less than the Participant's  Current Accrued Benefit. A Participant's Current
Accrued  Benefit is the sum of the annual  benefits  under such defined  benefit
plans which the  Participant  had  accrued as of the end of the 1986  Limitation
Year (the last  Limitation  Year beginning  before January 1, 1987),  determined
without  regard to any change in the terms or conditions of the defined  benefit
plan made after May 5, 1986, and without regard to any cost of living adjustment
occurring  after May 5, 1986.  This Current Accrued Benefit rule applies only if
the defined  benefit  plans  individually  and in the  aggregate  satisfied  the
requirements of Code ss.415 as in effect at the end of the 1986 Limitation Year.

     (k) "Defined contribution plan fraction" means the following fraction:

             The sum, as of the close of the Limitation Year, of the
                    Annual Additions for all Limitation Years
                       to the Participant's Account under
                        the defined contribution plan(s)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            The sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined
          for the Limitation Year and for each prior Limitation Year of
                       service with the Employer: (i) 125%
               (subject to the "100% limitation" in Paragraph (l))
                    of the dollar limitation in effect under
                  Code ss.415(c)(1)(A) for the Limitation Year
        (determined without regard to the special dollar limitations for
                       employee stock ownership plans), or
       (ii) 35% of the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year

     For purposes of determining  the defined  contribution  plan fraction,  the
Plan  Administrator  will not recompute  Annual  Additions in  Limitation  Years
beginning  prior to January  1, 1987,  to treat all  Employee  contributions  as
Annual  Additions.  If the Plan  satisfied  Code  ss.415  for  Limitation  Years
beginning prior to January 1, 1987, the Plan  Administrator will redetermine the
defined  contribution  plan fraction and the defined benefit plan fraction as of
the end of the 1986  Limitation  Year, in accordance  with this Section 3.18. If
the sum of the redetermined  fractions exceeds 1.0, the Plan  Administrator will
subtract  permanently  from  the  numerator  of the  defined  contribution  plan
fraction  an amount  equal to the  product  of: (1) the excess of the sum of the
fractions over 1.0, times (2) the denominator of the defined  contribution  plan
fraction.  In making the adjustment,  the Plan  Administrator must disregard any
accrued benefit under the defined benefit plan which is in excess of the Current
Accrued Benefit.  This Plan continues any  transitional  rules applicable to the
determination of the defined contribution plan fraction under the Plan as of the
end of the 1986 Limitation Year.

     (l) "100%  limitation" means the limitation in Code ss.416(h) which applies
if the plan is top-heavy. If the 100% limitation applies, the Plan Administrator
must  determine  the  denominator  of the defined  benefit plan fraction and the
denominator of the defined  contribution  plan fraction by substituting 100% for
125%. If this Plan is a Standardized  Plan, the 100%  limitation  applies in all
Limitation Years,  unless the Employer specifies otherwise in an Addendum to its
Adoption  Agreement.  If the  Employer  overrides  the 100%  limitation  under a
Standardized Plan, the Employer must specify in its Addendum the manner in which
the Plan satisfies the extra minimum  benefit  requirement of Code ss.416(h) and
the 100% limitation must continue to apply if the Plan's top-heavy ratio exceeds
90%. If this Plan is a  Nonstandardized  Plan, the 100% limitation  applies only
if: (i) the Plan's  top-heavy  ratio  exceeds 90%; or (ii) the Plan's  top-heavy
ratio is greater  than 60%,  and the  Employer  does not specify in its Adoption
Agreement to provide extra minimum benefits which satisfy Code ss.416(h)(2).


                                   ARTICLE IV
                            PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS

     4.01   PARTICIPANT   CONTRIBUTIONS.   For  purposes  of  this  Article  IV,
Participant  contributions means all Employee contributions described in Section
4.02, deductible  Participant  contributions  described in Section 4.03 ("DECs")
and rollover contributions described Section 4.04.

     4.02 EMPLOYEE  CONTRIBUTIONS.  An Employee  contribution is a nondeductible
contribution  which a  Participant  makes to the Trust as  permitted  under this
Section  4.02.  A deferral  contribution  made by a  Participant  under a 401(k)
arrangement is not an Employee contribution. Employee contributions must satisfy
the  nondiscrimination  requirements  of Code  ss.401(m).  See Section 14.09. An
Employer  must  elect in its  Adoption  Agreement  whether  to  permit  Employee
contributions.  If the Employer  elects to permit  Employee  contributions,  the
Employer  also  must  specify  in  its  Adoption  Agreement  any  conditions  or
limitations which may apply to Employee  contributions.  If the Employer permits
Employee   contributions,   the  Employer  operationally  will  determine  if  a
Participant  will make Employee  contributions  through payroll  deduction or by
other means.

     The Employer must elect in its Adoption Agreement whether the Employer will
make matching  contributions with respect to any Employee  contributions and any
conditions or limitations which may apply to those matching  contributions.  Any
matching  contribution must satisfy the  nondiscrimination  requirements of Code
ss.401(m). See Section 14.09.

     4.03 DECs. A DEC is a deductible Participant  contribution made to the Plan
for a taxable year  commencing  prior to 1987. If a Participant has made DECs to
the Plan,  the Plan  Administrator  must  maintain  a separate  Account  for the
Participant's DECs as adjusted for earnings,  including DECs which are part of a
rollover contribution described in Section 4.04. The DECs Account is part of the
Participant's  Account  for all  purposes  of the Plan,  except for  purposes of
determining  the top-heavy ratio under Article XII. The Plan  Administrator  may
not  use a  Participant's  DECs  Account  to  purchase  life  insurance  on  the
Participant's behalf.

     4.04 ROLLOVER  CONTRIBUTIONS.  A rollover contribution is an amount of cash
or property  which the Code  permits an  eligible  Employee  or  Participant  to
transfer  directly or  indirectly  to this Plan from another  qualified  plan. A
rollover contribution excludes Employee contributions, as adjusted for earnings.
An Employer operationally and on a nondiscriminatory  basis, may elect to permit
or not to permit  rollover  contributions  to this Plan or may elect to limit an
eligible   Employee's  right  or  a  Participant's  right  to  make  a  rollover
contribution. If an Employer permits rollover contributions, any Participant (or
as applicable,  any eligible Employee),  with the Employer's written consent and
after filing with the Trustee the form prescribed by the Plan Administrator, may
make  a  rollover  contribution  to  the  Trust.  Before  accepting  a  rollover
contribution,  the Trustee may require a Participant  (or eligible  Employee) to
furnish  satisfactory  evidence  the  proposed  transfer  is in fact a "rollover
contribution"  which the Code  permits an employee to make to a qualified  plan.
The  Trustee,  in  its  sole  discretion,  may  decline  to  accept  a  rollover
contribution of property which could:  (1) generate  unrelated  business taxable
income;  (2) create  difficulty  or undue  expense in  storage,  safekeeping  or
valuation;  or (3) create other  practical  problems  for the Trust.  A rollover
contribution is not an Annual Addition under Part 2 of Article III.

         If an eligible Employee makes a rollover contribution to the Trust
prior to satisfying the Plan's eligibility conditions, the Plan Administrator
and Trustee must treat the Employee as a limited Participant (as described in
Rev. Rul. 96-48 or in any successor ruling). A limited Participant does not
share in the Plan's allocation of Employer contributions nor Participant
forfeitures and may not make deferral contributions if the Plan includes a
401(k) arrangement until he/she actually becomes a Participant in the Plan. If a
limited Participant has a Separation from Service prior to becoming a
Participant in the Plan, the Trustee will distribute his/her rollover
contributions Account to him/her in accordance with Article VI as if it were an
Employer contributions Account.

     4.05  PARTICIPANT  CONTRIBUTIONS  - VESTING.  A  Participant's  Participant
contributions Account is, at all times, 100% Vested.

     4.06  PARTICIPANT  CONTRIBUTIONS  -  DISTRIBUTION.  Subject to any contrary
Employer  election in its  Adoption  Agreement  Appendix A, an  Employee,  after
attaining age 70 1/2 may elect to receive  distribution prior to Separation from
Service  ("in-service  distribution") of all or any part of his/her  Participant
contributions  Account. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement Section 6.01 must
elect  the  additional  in-service  distribution  election  rights,  if  any,  a
Participant has with respect to his/her Participant  contributions  Account. For
purposes of the Employer's  Adoption Agreement  elections  regarding  in-service
distribution   of   Participant   contributions,    a   Participant's   Employee
contributions  also includes DECs. A Participant  will not incur a forfeiture of
any  Account  under the Plan solely as a result of the  distribution  of his/her
Participant contributions.

     The  Trustee,  following a  Participant's  Separation  from  Service,  will
distribute  to the  Participant  his/her  Participant  contributions  Account in
accordance  with  Article VI in the same manner as the Trustee  distributes  the
Participant's Employer contributions Account.

     4.07  PARTICIPANT   CONTRIBUTIONS-  INVESTMENT  AND  ACCOUNTING.  The  Plan
Administrator  must maintain a separate  Account in the name of each Participant
to reflect his/her  Participant  contributions  (including,  if applicable,  the
different  types of Participant  contributions),  as adjusted for earnings.  The
Trustee will invest all Participant contributions as part of the Trust Fund.


                                    ARTICLE V
                                     VESTING

     5.01  NORMAL/EARLY  RETIREMENT AGE. The Employer in its Adoption  Agreement
must  specify the Plan's  Normal  Retirement  Age.  An Employer in its  Adoption
Agreement may specify an Early  Retirement Age. A Participant's  Account Balance
derived  from  Employer  contributions  is 100%  Vested  upon and after  his/her
attaining Normal Retirement Age (or if applicable,  Early Retirement Age) if the
Participant is employed by the Employer on or after that date.

     5.02 PARTICIPANT DEATH OR DISABILITY.  Unless the Employer elects otherwise
in its Adoption Agreement, a Participant's Account Balance derived from Employer
contributions is 100% Vested if the  Participant's  Separation from Service is a
result of his/her death or his/her Disability.

     5.03 VESTING  SCHEDULE.  Except as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.02,  for
each Year of Service  as  described  in Section  5.06,  a  Participant's  Vested
percentage of his/her Account Balance derived from Employer contributions equals
the  percentage  under the  vesting  schedule  the  Employer  has elected in its
Adoption Agreement.

     For purposes of Adoption  Agreement Section 5.03,  "6-year graded," "3-year
cliff," "7-year graded" or "5-year cliff" means an Employee's Vested percentage,
based on each included Year of Service, under the following applicable schedule:

6-year graded                             7-year graded
0-1 year /  0%                            0-2 years / 0%
2 years / 20%                             3 years / 20%
3 years / 40%                             4 years / 40%
4 years / 60%                             5 years / 60%
5 years / 80%                             6 years / 80%
6 years / 100%                            7 years / 100%

3-year cliff                              5-year cliff
0-2 years / 0%                            0-4 years/ 0%
3 years / 100%                            5 years / 100%

     (A)  "Grossed-Up"  Vesting  Formula.  If the Trustee  makes a  distribution
(other  than  a  cash-out   distribution   described  in  Section   5.04)  to  a
partially-Vested  Participant, and the Participant has not incurred a Forfeiture
Break in Service at the relevant time,  the  provisions of this Section  5.03(A)
apply to the Participant's  Account Balance.  At any relevant time following the
distribution,  the Plan  Administrator  will determine the Participant's  Vested
Account  Balance  derived from Employer  contributions  in  accordance  with the
following formula: P(AB + D) - D.

     To apply this formula, "P" is the Participant's  current vesting percentage
at the relevant time, "AB" is the Participant's Employer-derived Account Balance
at the  relevant  time and "D" is the amount of the  earlier  distribution.  If,
under a restated  Plan,  the Plan has made  distribution  to a  partially-Vested
Participant  prior to its  restated  Effective  Date and is  unable to apply the
cash-out  provisions  of Section 5.04 to that prior  distribution,  this special
vesting formula also applies to that  Participant's  remaining  Account Balance.
The Employer, in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement, may elect to modify this
formula  to read as  follows:  P(AB + (R x D)) - (R x D). For  purposes  of this
alternative   formula,   "R"  is  the   ratio  of  "AB"  to  the   Participant's
Employer-derived Account Balance immediately following the earlier distribution.

     (B) Special Vesting  Elections.  The Employer in its Adoption Agreement may
elect other specified  vesting  provisions which are consistent with Code ss.411
and applicable Treasury regulations.

     5.04 CASH-OUT DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTIALLY- VESTED PARTICIPANTS/  RESTORATION
OF FORFEITED  ACCOUNT  BALANCE.  If, pursuant to Article VI, a  partially-Vested
Participant  receives a cash-out  distribution before he/she incurs a Forfeiture
Break in Service,  the  Participant  will incur an immediate  forfeiture  of the
non-Vested   portion  of  his/her  Account   Balance.   If  a   partially-Vested
Participant's Account is entitled to an allocation of Employer  contributions or
Participant  forfeitures for the Plan Year in which he/she otherwise would incur
a forfeiture by reason of a cash-out  distribution,  the Plan Administrator will
apply  the  cash-out  forfeiture  rule  as if the  partially-Vested  Participant
received a cash-out  distribution on the first day of the immediately  following
Plan  Year.  A  partially-Vested  Participant  is  a  Participant  whose  Vested
percentage  determined under Section 5.03 is more than 0% but is less than 100%.
A  cash-out   distribution  is  a  distribution  to  the  Participant   (whether
involuntary  or with  required  consent as  described in Article VI), of his/her
entire Vested Account Balance due to the Participant's Separation from Service.

     (A)   Forfeiture   Restoration   and   Conditions   for   Restoration.    A
partially-Vested  Participant  re-employed  by the  Employer  after  receiving a
cash-out  distribution  of the Vested  percentage of his/her Account Balance may
repay to the Trust the entire amount of the cash-out  distribution  attributable
to Employer  contributions  without any adjustment for gains and losses,  unless
the Participant no longer has a right to restoration under this Section 5.04(A).
If a re-employed  Participant  repays his/her  cash-out  distribution,  the Plan
Administrator,  subject to the conditions of this Section 5.04(A),  must restore
the Participant's Account Balance attributable to Employer  contributions to the
same  dollar  amount as the  dollar  amount of  his/her  Account  Balance on the
Accounting Date, or other valuation date,  immediately preceding the date of the
cash-out  distribution,  unadjusted for any gains or losses occurring subsequent
to  that  Accounting   Date,  or  other  valuation  date.   Restoration  of  the
Participant's  Account Balance  includes  restoration of all Protected  Benefits
with respect to that restored  Account  Balance,  in accordance  with applicable
Treasury  regulations.  The Plan  Administrator  will not restore a  re-employed
Participant's Account Balance under this Section 5.04 (A) if:

     (1) 5 years have elapsed since the Participant's  first  re-employment date
with the Employer following the cash-out distribution;

     (2) The  Participant  is not in the  Employer's  Service  on the  date  the
Participant repays his/her cash-out distribution; or

     (3) The  Participant  has  incurred a  Forfeiture  Break in  Service.  This
condition also applies if the Participant  makes repayment  within the Plan Year
in which he/she incurs the Forfeiture Break in Service and that Forfeiture Break
in  Service  would  result  in a  complete  forfeiture  of the  amount  the Plan
Administrator otherwise would restore.

     (B) Time and Method of Forfeiture Restoration. If none of the conditions in
Section  5.04(A)  preventing  restoration of the  Participant's  Account Balance
applies,  the Plan Administrator will restore the Participant's  Account Balance
as of the Plan Year Accounting Date coincident with or immediately following the
repayment. To restore the Participant's Account Balance, the Plan Administrator,
to the extent necessary, will allocate to the Participant's Account:

     (1)  First,  the  amount,  if any,  of  Participant  forfeitures  the  Plan
Administrator otherwise would allocate under Section 3.05;

     (2) Second,  the  amount,  if any, of the Trust Fund net income or gain for
the Plan Year; and

     (3) Third,  the Employer  contribution for the Plan Year to the extent made
under a discretionary formula.

     In an Addendum to its Adoption  Agreement,  the Employer may eliminate as a
means of restoration any of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) or
may change the order of  priority  of these  amounts.  To the extent the amounts
described  in  clauses  (1),  (2) and (3) are  insufficient  to enable  the Plan
Administrator  to make the required  restoration,  the Employer must contribute,
without  regard to any  requirement  or condition of Article III, the additional
amount  necessary  to  enable  the  Plan  Administrator  to  make  the  required
restoration. If, for a particular Plan Year, the Plan Administrator must restore
the  Account  Balance  of  more  than  one  re-employed  Participant,  the  Plan
Administrator  will make the restoration  allocations from the amounts described
in  clauses  (1),  (2) and (3) to each such  Participant's  Account  in the same
proportion that a  Participant's  restored amount for the Plan Year bears to the
restored  amount for the Plan Year of all re-employed  Participants.  A cash-out
restoration allocation is not an Annual Addition under Part 2 of Article III.

     (C) Deemed  Cash-out of 0% Vested  Participant.  Except as the Employer may
provide in an Addendum to its Adoption  Agreement,  the deemed  cash-out rule of
this  Section  5.04(C)  applies  to  any 0%  Vested  Participant.  A "0%  Vested
Participant"  is a  Participant  whose  Account  Balance  derived from  Employer
contributions  is entirely  forfeitable at the time of his/her  Separation  from
Service. If a 0% Vested  Participant's  Account is not entitled to an allocation
of  Employer  contributions  for the Plan  Year in which the  Participant  has a
Separation from Service,  the Plan  Administrator will apply the deemed cash-out
rule as if the 0% Vested  Participant  received a cash-out  distribution  on the
date of the Participant's  Separation from Service. If a 0% Vested Participant's
Account is entitled to an allocation of Employer  contributions  or  Participant
forfeitures  for the Plan Year in which the  Participant  has a Separation  from
Service, the Plan Administrator will apply the deemed cash-out rule as if the 0%
Vested  Participant  received  a cash-out  distribution  on the first day of the
first Plan Year beginning after his/her Separation from Service. For purposes of
applying the restoration provisions of this Section 5.04, the Plan Administrator
will treat a re-employed  0% Vested  Participant  as repaying  his/her  cash-out
"distribution" on the date of the Participant's re-employment with the Employer.

     5.05  ACCOUNTING  FOR CASH-OUT  REPAYMENT.  As soon as is  administratively
practicable, the Plan Administrator will credit to the Participant's Account the
cash-out amount a Participant has repaid to the Plan. Pending the restoration of
the Participant's  Account Balance, the Plan Administrator under Section 9.08(B)
may  direct the  Trustee  to place the  Participant's  cash-out  repayment  in a
temporary segregated investment Account. Unless the cash-out repayment qualifies
as a Participant rollover  contribution,  the Plan Administrator will direct the
Trustee to repay to the Participant as soon as is administratively  practicable,
the  full  amount  of  the   Participant's   cash-out   repayment  if  the  Plan
Administrator  determines  any of the  conditions  of Section  5.04(A)  prevents
restoration  as  of  the  applicable   Accounting  Date,   notwithstanding   the
Participant's repayment.

     5.06 YEAR OF SERVICE - VESTING. For purposes of determining a Participant's
vesting under Section 5.03,  "Year of Service"  means the  12-consecutive  month
vesting  computation period the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement during
which an Employee completes the number of Hours of Service (not exceeding 1,000)
specified  in the  Adoption  Agreement  or, if the Plan applies the Elapsed Time
Method of crediting Vesting Service,  the vesting  computation  period for which
the Employee  receives credit for a Year of Service under the Service  crediting
rules of  Section  1.15(D).  A Year of  Service  includes  any  Year of  Service
completed prior to the Effective Date of the Plan, except as provided in Section
5.08.

     5.07  BREAK IN SERVICE  AND  FORFEITURE  BREAK IN  SERVICE -  VESTING.  For
purposes of this Article V, a Participant  incurs a "Break in Service" if during
any vesting  computation  period he/she does not complete more than 500 Hours of
Service or, if the Plan applies the Elapsed  Time Method of  crediting  Service,
the Participant has a Period of Severance of at least 12 consecutive months. If,
pursuant  to  Section  5.06,  the Plan does not  require  more than 500 Hours of
Service to receive credit for a Year of Service, a Participant incurs a Break in
Service in a vesting computation period in which he/she fails to complete a Year
of Service.  A  Participant  incurs a  Forfeiture  Break in Service  when he/she
incurs 5  consecutive  Breaks in  Service.  The Plan does not apply the Break in
Service  (one  year  hold-out)  rule for  vesting  under  Code  ss.411(a)(6)(B).
Therefore,  an  Employee  need not  complete a Year of Service  after a Break in
Service before the Plan takes into account the Employee's  otherwise  includible
pre-Break Years of Service under this Article V.

     5.08  INCLUDED  YEARS OF SERVICE - VESTING.  For  purposes  of  determining
"Years of Service"  under Section 5.06, the Plan takes into account all Years of
Service an Employee completes with the Employer except:

     (a) For the sole purpose of determining a Participant's  Vested  percentage
of his/her Account Balance derived from Employer contributions which accrued for
his/her benefit prior to a Forfeiture  Break in Service or receipt of a cash-out
distribution,  the Plan  disregards  any Year of Service  after the  Participant
first incurs a Forfeiture  Break in Service or receives a cash-out  distribution
(except where the Plan  Administrator  restores the Participant's  Account under
Section 5.04(A)).

     (b)  Consistent  with Code  ss.411(a)(4),  any Year of Service the Employer
elects to exclude under its Adoption Agreement.

     5.09 FORFEITURE  OCCURS. A Participant's  forfeiture of his/her  non-Vested
Account Balance derived from Employer contributions occurs under the Plan on the
earlier of:

     (a) The last day of the vesting computation period in which the Participant
first incurs a Forfeiture Break in Service; or

     (b) The date the Participant receives a cash-out distribution.

     The Plan Administrator determines the percentage of a Participant's Account
Balance  forfeiture,  if any, under this Section 5.09 solely by reference to the
vesting schedule the Employer elected in its Adoption  Agreement.  A Participant
does not forfeit any portion of his/her  Account Balance for any other reason or
cause  except as expressly  provided by this  Section 5.09 or as provided  under
Section 9.11.

     5.10 RULE OF  PARITY -  VESTING.  The  Employer  may elect in its  Adoption
Agreement to apply the "rule of parity" under Code  ss.411(a)(6)(D) for purposes
of  determining  vesting  Years of Service.  Under the rule of parity,  the Plan
Administrator  excludes  a  Participant's  Years  of  Service  before a Break in
Service if: (a) the number of the  Participant's  consecutive  Breaks in Service
equals or exceeds  5; and (b) the  Participant  is 0% Vested in his/her  Account
Balance derived from Employer contributions at the time he/she has the Breaks in
Service.

     5.11  AMENDMENT TO VESTING  SCHEDULE.  The Employer under Section 13.02 may
amend the Plan's vesting  schedule(s)  under Section 5.03 at any time.  However,
the Plan Administrator will not apply the amended vesting schedule to reduce any
Participant's  existing Vested  percentage  (determined on the later of the date
the Employer adopts the amendment,  or the date the amendment becomes effective)
in the  Participant's  existing  and  future  Account  Balance  attributable  to
Employer contributions, to a percentage less than the Vested percentage computed
under the Plan without regard to the amendment.  Furthermore, an amended vesting
schedule will apply to a Participant only if the Participant receives credit for
at least one Hour of Service after the new vesting schedule becomes effective.

     If the Employer amends the Plan's vesting schedule, each Participant having
completed at least 3 Years of Service (as  described  in Section  5.06) with the
Employer prior to the expiration of the election  period  described  below,  may
irrevocably elect to have the Plan Administrator determine the Vested percentage
of his/her Account Balance without regard to the amendment. The Participant must
file his/her election with the Plan  Administrator  within 60 days of the latest
of: (a) the Employer's adoption of the amendment;  (b) the effective date of the
amendment; or (c) the Participant's receipt of a copy of the amendment. The Plan
Administrator, as soon as practicable, must forward a true copy of any amendment
to the vesting  schedule to each affected  Participant,  together with a written
explanation of the effect of the amendment,  the appropriate form upon which the
Participant  may make an  election  to remain  under the  pre-amendment  vesting
schedule  and  notice  of the time  within  which the  Participant  must make an
election  to remain  under the  pre-amendment  vesting  schedule.  The  election
described in this Section  5.11 does not apply to a  Participant  if the amended
vesting  schedule  provides  for  vesting  at  least as rapid at any time as the
vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment.  For purposes of this Section
5.11, an amendment to the vesting  schedule  includes any Plan  amendment  which
directly or indirectly  affects the  computation  of the Vested  percentage of a
Participant's  Account  Balance.  Furthermore,  any shift in the Plan's  vesting
schedule under Article XII, due to a change in the Plan's top-heavy  status,  is
an amendment to the vesting schedule for purposes of this Section 5.11.

     5.12  DEFERRAL  CONTRIBUTIONS  TAKEN INTO  ACCOUNT.  If the Plan includes a
401(k)  arrangement,  the vesting  rules  described  in Article V must take into
account a Participant's deferral contributions for purposes of determining:  (1)
if a  Participant's  distribution is of his/her entire Vested Account balance as
required for a cash-out  distribution  under Section 5.04;  (2) if a Participant
repays the entire amount of a prior cash-out  distribution so the Participant is
entitled to restoration  under Section  5.04(A);  and (3) if a Participant is 0%
vested under Section 5.04(C) and under Section 5.10.


                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

     6.01 TIMING OF DISTRIBUTION. The Plan Administrator will direct the Trustee
to commence distribution of a Participant's Vested Account Balance in accordance
with this Section 6.01 upon the  Participant's  Separation  from Service for any
reason, or if the Participant  exercises an in-Service  distribution right under
the Plan.  The  Trustee  may make  Plan  distributions  on any  administratively
practicable date during the Plan Year,  consistent with the Employer's elections
in its Adoption Agreement.

     (A) Distribution upon Separation from Service (other than death).

     (1)  Participant's  Vested Account Balance not exceeding  $5,000.  Upon the
Participant's  Separation from Service for any reason other than death, the Plan
Administrator  (without any requirement of Participant or spousal  consent) will
direct the  Trustee to  distribute  the  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance
(determined in accordance  with Section  6.01(A)(6))  not exceeding  $5,000 in a
lump sum (without regard to Section 6.04), at the time specified in the Adoption
Agreement,  but in no event later than the 60th day  following  the close of the
Plan Year in which the later of the following  events occur: (a) the Participant
attains Normal Retirement Age; or (b) the Participant Separates from Service.

     (2)  Participant's   Vested  Account  Balance  exceeds  $5,000.   Upon  the
Participant's  Separation from Service for any reason other than death, the Plan
Administrator,  subject to the Participant's  election to postpone  distribution
under  this  Section   6.01(A)(2)  and  the  consent   requirements  of  Section
6.01(A)(5),   will  direct  the  Trustee  to   commence   distribution   of  the
Participant's  Vested Account  Balance  (determined  in accordance  with Section
6.01(A)(6))  exceeding $5,000,  at the time specified in the Adoption  Agreement
and in a form under Section 6.03 elected by the Participant.  Any election under
this Section  6.01(A)(2) is subject to the  requirements  of Section 6.02 and of
Section 6.04.

     A Participant  eligible to make an election  under this Section  6.01(A)(2)
may elect to postpone  distribution  beyond the time the Employer has elected in
its Adoption  Agreement,  to any specified  date  including,  but not beyond the
Participant's  Required  Beginning  Date,  unless the Employer,  in its Adoption
Agreement, specifically limits a Participant's right to postpone distribution of
his/her Account Balance to the later of the date the Participant  attains age 62
or Normal  Retirement  Age. The Plan  Administrator  will reapply the notice and
consent  requirements  of  Section  6.01(A)(4)  and  Section  6.01(A)(5)  to any
distribution postponed under this Section 6.01(A)(2).

     In the absence of a  Participant's  consent and  distribution  election (as
described in Section 6.01(A)(5)) or in the absence of the Participant's election
to  postpone  distribution  prior to his/her  annuity  starting  date,  the Plan
Administrator,   consistent  with  the  Employer's  elections  in  its  Adoption
Agreement,  will treat the  Participant  as having  elected to postpone  his/her
distribution  until the 60th day  following  the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the following  events occurs:  (a) the Participant  attains Normal
Retirement  Age;  (b) the  Participant  attains  age 62; or (c) the  Participant
Separates from Service. At the applicable date, the Plan Administrator then will
direct the Trustee to distribute the  Participant's  Vested Account Balance in a
lump sum (or, if  applicable,  the annuity form of  distribution  required under
Section 6.04).

     (3) Disability.  If the Participant's Separation from Service is because of
his/her  Disability,  the Plan  Administrator will direct the Trustee to pay the
Participant's  Vested Account  Balance in the same manner as if the  Participant
had incurred a Separation from Service without Disability.

     (4)  Distribution  notice/annuity  starting  date. At least 30 days and not
more than 90 days prior to the  Participant's  annuity  starting  date, the Plan
Administrator  must provide a written  notice (or a summary  notice as permitted
under Treasury regulations) to a Participant who is eligible to make an election
under Section 6.01(A)(2)  ("distribution  notice"). The distribution notice must
explain  the  optional  forms of benefit  in the Plan,  including  the  material
features and relative values of those options,  and the  Participant's  right to
postpone distribution until the applicable date described in Section 6.01(A)(2).
For all purposes of this Article VI, the term "annuity  starting date" means the
first day of the first period for which the Plan pays an amount as an annuity or
in any other form but in no event is the "annuity  starting date" earlier than a
Participant's Separation from Service.

     (5) Consent  requirements/Participant  distribution election. A Participant
must consent, in writing,  following receipt of the distribution  notice, to any
distribution  under this Section 6.01, if at the time of the distribution to the
Participant,  the  Participant's  Vested Account  Balance exceeds $5,000 and the
Participant  has not  attained  the  later of Normal  Retirement  Age or age 62.
Accounts  which are  distributable  prior to the  foregoing  applicable  age are
"immediately  distributable."  Furthermore,  the Participant's  spouse also must
consent,  in writing,  to any distribution,  for which Section 6.04 requires the
spouse's consent. The Participant may reconsider his/her  distribution  election
at  any  time  prior  to  the  annuity  starting  date  and  elect  to  commence
distribution as of any other distribution date permitted under the Plan or under
the Adoption Agreement.  A Participant may elect to receive  distribution at any
administratively  practicable  time which is earlier than 30 days  following the
Participant's  receipt of the  distribution  notice,  by waiving in writing  the
balance of the 30 days.  However, if the requirements of Section 6.04 apply, the
Participant  may not elect to commence  distribution  less than 7 days following
the Participant's  receipt of the distribution  notice. The consent requirements
of this  Section  6.01(A)(5)  do not  apply  with  respect  to  defaulted  loans
described in Section 10.03(E).

     (6)  Determination of Vested Account  Balance.  For purposes of the consent
requirements  under  this  Article  VI,  the  Plan  Administrator  determines  a
Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance  as of the most  recent  valuation  date
immediately  prior  to  the  distribution  date,  and  takes  into  account  the
Participant's  entire  Account,  including  deferral  contributions.   The  Plan
Administrator  in determining  the  Participant's  Vested Account Balance at the
relevant time, will disregard a Participant's Vested Account Balance existing on
any prior date, except as the Code otherwise may require.

     (7) Consent to cash-out/forfeiture. If a Participant is partially-Vested in
his/her Account Balance,  a Participant's  election under Section  6.01(A)(2) to
receive distribution prior to the Participant's  incurring a Forfeiture Break in
Service,  must be in the form of a cash-out  distribution  as defined in Section
5.04.

     (8) Return to employment.  A Participant  may not receive a distribution by
reason of Separation  from  Service,  or continue any  installment  distribution
based on a prior  Separation  from  Service,  if,  prior to the time the Trustee
actually makes the distribution,  the Participant returns to employment with the
Employer.

     (B) Distribution upon Death. In the event of the  Participant's  Separation
from  Service  on  account  of death,  the Plan  Administrator  will  direct the
Trustee, in accordance with this Section 6.01(B) and subject to Section 6.02(D),
to distribute to the Participant's  Beneficiary the Participant's Vested Account
Balance remaining in the Trust at the time of the Participant's death.

     The Plan  Administrator,  subject to the  requirements of Sections 6.04 and
6.02(D)  or to a  Beneficiary's  written  election  (if  authorized  by the next
paragraph of this Section  6.01(B)),  must direct the Trustee to  distribute  or
commence  distribution of the deceased  Participant's Vested Account Balance, as
soon as  administratively  practicable  following the Participant's death or, if
later,  the date on which the Plan  Administrator  receives  notification of, or
otherwise confirms, the Participant's death. If the Participant's Vested Account
Balance determined in accordance with Section 6.01(A)(6) does not exceed $5,000,
the Trustee will  distribute the balance in a lump sum without regard to Section
6.04. If the  Participant's  Vested Account Balance exceeds $5,000,  the Trustee
will distribute the balance subject to Section 6.02(D).

     If the Participant's  death benefit is payable in full to the Participant's
surviving spouse, the surviving spouse may elect distribution at any time and in
any  form  (except  a joint  and  survivor  annuity)  the  Plan  would  permit a
Participant to elect upon Separation from Service.  The  Participant,  on a form
prescribed  by the Plan  Administrator,  may  (subject  to the  requirements  of
Section 6.04) elect the payment  method or the payment term or both,  which will
apply to any Beneficiary,  including his/her surviving spouse. The Participant's
election  may limit any  Beneficiary's  right to increase  the  frequency or the
amount of any  payments.  Any payment term elected by the  Participant  must not
exceed the payment term the Code otherwise would permit the Beneficiary to elect
upon the Participant's death.

     (C)  In-Service  Distribution.  The  Employer  must  elect in its  Adoption
Agreement the distribution  election rights,  if any, a Participant has prior to
his/her  Separation  from Service  ("in-service  distribution").  Subject to any
contrary  Employer  election  in  Appendix  A  to  its  Adoption  Agreement,   a
Participant  upon  attaining age 70 1/2,  until he/she incurs a Separation  from
Service,  has a  continuing  election  to receive  all or any portion of his/her
Account Balance, including Employer contributions and Participant contributions.
If  the  Employer  elects  in  its  Adoption  Agreement  additional   in-service
distribution of any Employer  contribution  (including deferral  contributions),
the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement must specify  events or  conditions,  if
any,  applicable  to such  in-service  distributions.  For special  requirements
regarding hardship distributions, see Section 6.09. The Employer also must elect
in its Adoption Agreement the additional in-service distribution rights, if any,
a  Participant  has with  respect  to  Participant  contributions  as defined in
Section  4.01.  If a Participant  receives an  in-service  distribution  as to a
partially-Vested  Account,  and the  Participant  has not  incurred a Forfeiture
Break in Service,  the Plan  Administrator  will apply the vesting provisions of
Section 5.03(A).

     A Participant  must make any  permitted  in-service  distribution  election
under  this  Section  6.01(C) in writing  and on a form  prescribed  by the Plan
Administrator   which   specifies  the   percentage  or  dollar  amount  of  the
distribution  and the  Participant's  Plan Account  (Employer  contributions  or
Participant  contributions and type) to which the election applies.  If the Plan
permits  in-service  distributions,  a Participant only may elect to receive one
in-service  distribution  per Plan Year under this  Section  6.01(C)  unless the
election form  prescribed by the Plan  Administrator  provides for more frequent
distributions. The Trustee, as directed by the Plan Administrator and subject to
Sections  6.01(A)(4),  6.01(A)(5)  and 6.04,  will  distribute  the  amount(s) a
Participant elects in single sum, as soon as administratively  practicable after
the Participant  files his/her  in-service  distribution  election with the Plan
Administrator.  The Trustee will distribute the Participant's  remaining Account
Balance in accordance with the other provisions of this Article VI.

     The Trustee,  prior to a Participant's  Normal Retirement Age or Disability
may not make any  in-service  distribution  to the  Participant  with respect to
his/her Account Balance attributable to assets (including post-transfer earnings
on those  assets)  and  liabilities  transferred,  within  the  meaning  of Code
ss.414(l), to a profit sharing plan from a money purchase pension plan or from a
target  benefit plan qualified  under Code ss.401(a)  (other than any portion of
those assets and liabilities attributable to Employee contributions).

     6.02 REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS.

     (A) Priority of Required Minimum  Distribution.  If any distribution  under
this Article VI (by Plan provision or by Participant  election or  nonelection),
would commence later than the Participant's required beginning date ("RBD"), the
Plan  Administrator  instead must direct the Trustee to make distribution on the
Participant's  RBD,  subject only to the TEFRA  election,  if applicable,  under
Section  6.11.  The Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  Appendix B may elect to
apply a special  effective date to the RBD definition or may elect in Appendix A
to  continue to apply the RBD  definition  in effect  prior to 1997  ("pre-SBJPA
RBD").  The  Employer  in its  Adoption  Agreement  also may  elect  to  require
distribution earlier than the RBD.

     (1) RBD - more than 5% owner. A Participant's  RBD is the April 1 following
the close of the calendar  year in which the  Participant  attains age 70 1/2 if
the Participant is a more than 5% owner (as defined in Code ss.416) with respect
to the Plan Year ending in that calendar  year. If a Participant  is a more than
5% owner at the close of the relevant  calendar  year, the  Participant  may not
discontinue  required minimum  distributions  notwithstanding  the Participant's
subsequent change in ownership status.

     (2) RBD - non 5% owners.  If the  Participant  is not a more than 5% owner,
his/her RBD is the April 1 following the close of the calendar year in which the
Participant incurs a Separation from Service or, if later, the April 1 following
the close of the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2. If a
Participant is not a more than 5% owner,  his/her  pre-SBJPA RBD (if applicable)
is April 1 following  the close of the  calendar  year in which the  Participant
attains age 70 1/2.

     (3)  Form  of  distribution.  The  Trustee  will  make a  required  minimum
distribution  at the  Participant's  RBD in a lump sum (or, if  applicable,  the
annuity  form  of   distribution   required   under  Section  6.04)  unless  the
Participant,  pursuant  to the  provisions  of this  Article  VI,  makes a valid
election to receive an alternative form of payment.

     (B) Participant Transitional Elections.

     (1) Election to discontinue distributions.  A Participant who: (a) is not a
more than 5% owner; (b) had attained age 70 1/2 prior to 1997; (c) had commenced
prior to 1997 required  minimum  distributions  under the pre-SBJPA RBD; and (d)
has not  incurred a  Separation  from  Service,  has a  continuing  election  to
discontinue  receiving  distributions  from  the  Plan  (which  previously  were
required  minimum  distributions  under the Plan).  A  Participant  who makes an
election under this Section  6.02(B)(1)  must  establish a new annuity  starting
date when he/she recommences  payment of his/her Account Balance under the Plan.
A married  Participant  who is  subject  to  Section  6.04 must  obtain  spousal
consent: (a) to discontinue his/her  distributions under this Section 6.04(B)(1)
if  distributions  are in QJSA form;  and (b) to  recommence  benefits in a form
other than a QJSA. A  Participant  may not make any election  under this Section
6.02(B)(1) which is inconsistent  with any QDRO applicable to the  Participant's
Account.

     (2) Election to postpone  distributions.  A  Participant  who: (a) is not a
more than 5% owner;  and (b) attained age 70 1/2 after 1996 (or who attained age
70 1/2 in 1996, but who had not commenced his/her required minimum distributions
in 1996) may elect under this Section  6.02(B)(2)  to postpone  distribution  of
required minimum  distributions  until the  Participant's  RBD established under
Section  6.02(A).  If the Participant  attained age 70 1/2 in 1996,  he/she must
have elected under this Section 6.02(B)(2) to postpone distributions by December
31, 1997. If the  Participant  attained age 70 1/2 after 1996,  he/she must make
the election to postpone  distribution  under this Section  6.01(B)(2) not later
than April 1 of the calendar year  following  the year in which the  Participant
attains age 70 1/2.

     (3)  Election  requirements.  All  Participant  elections  made  under this
Section  6.01(B) are subject to and must be consistent  with the  Employer's RBD
elections in its Adoption  Agreement  Appendices  A and B. A  Participant  makes
his/her  election under this Section  6.02(B) in writing on a form prescribed by
the Plan Administrator.

     (C)  Minimum   Distribution   Requirements  for   Participants.   The  Plan
Administrator may not direct the Trustee to distribute the Participant's  Vested
Account Balance,  nor may the Participant  elect to have the Trustee  distribute
his/her  Vested  Account  Balance,  under a method of payment  which,  as of the
Participant's RBD, does not satisfy the minimum distribution  requirements under
Code ss.401(a)(9) and the applicable Treasury regulations.

     (1) Calculation of amount. The required minimum distribution for a calendar
year  ("distribution  calendar  year") equals the  Participant's  Vested Account
Balance  as of  the  latest  valuation  date  preceding  the  beginning  of  the
distribution  calendar  year (such  valuation  date being within the  "valuation
calendar year") divided by the Participant's  life expectancy or, if applicable,
the joint and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and his/her designated
Beneficiary (as determined  under Article VIII,  subject to the  requirements of
Code  ss.401(a)(9)).  The Plan  Administrator  will  increase the  Participant's
Vested  Account  Balance,  as determined  on the relevant  valuation  date,  for
contributions or forfeitures  allocated after the valuation date and by December
31  of  the  valuation  calendar  year,  and  will  decrease  the  valuation  by
distributions  made after the valuation date and by December 31 of the valuation
calendar  year.  For  purposes of this  valuation,  any portion of the  required
minimum  distribution  for the first  distribution  calendar year made after the
close  of that  year is a  distribution  occurring  in that  first  distribution
calendar year.

     (2) Recalculation.  In computing a required minimum distribution,  the Plan
Administrator  must use the unisex life expectancy  multiples under Treas.  Reg.
ss.1.72-9. The Plan Administrator,  only upon the Participant's timely election,
will compute the required minimum distribution for a distribution  calendar year
subsequent   to  the  first   distribution   calendar   year  by   redetermining
("recalculation"  of) the Participant's life expectancy or the Participant's and
spouse designated Beneficiary's life expectancies as elected.  However, the Plan
Administrator may not redetermine the joint life and last survivor expectancy of
the Participant and a nonspouse  designated  Beneficiary in a manner which takes
into account any adjustment to a life  expectancy  other than the  Participant's
life  expectancy.  A  Participant  must elect  recalculation  under this Section
6.02(C)(2) in writing and on a form the Plan Administrator prescribes, not later
than the Participant's RBD.

     (3) Minimum  distribution  incidental  benefit (MDIB). If the Participant's
spouse  is not  his/her  designated  Beneficiary,  a method  of  payment  to the
Participant (whether by Participant election or by Plan Administrator direction)
must satisfy the MDIB requirement under Code ss.401(a)(9) for distributions made
on or after the Participant's RBD and before the Participant's death. To satisfy
the MDIB  requirement,  the Plan  Administrator  will compute the  Participant's
required  minimum  distribution by substituting  the applicable MDIB divisor for
the applicable life expectancy  factor,  if the MDIB divisor is a lesser number.
Following  the  Participant's  death,  the Plan  Administrator  will compute the
minimum  distribution  required  by Section  6.02(D)  solely on the basis of the
applicable life expectancy factor and will disregard the MDIB factor.

     (4) Payment  due date.  The  required  minimum  distribution  for the first
distribution calendar year is due by the Participant's RBD. The required minimum
distribution  for each  subsequent  distribution  calendar  year,  including the
calendar year in which the  Participant's  RBD occurs,  is due by December 31 of
that year.

     (5) Nontransferable  annuity. If the Participant  receives  distribution in
the form of a Nontransferable  Annuity, the distribution  satisfies this Section
6.02(C) if the contract complies with the requirements of Code ss.401(a)(9).

     (D) Minimum  Distribution  Requirements  for  Beneficiaries.  The method of
distribution to the Participant's Beneficiary must satisfy Code ss.401(a)(9).

     (1) Death after RBD. If the  Participant's  death occurs after  his/her RBD
(or earlier, if the Participant had commenced an irrevocable annuity pursuant to
Section 6.04), the Trustee must distribute the  Participant's  remaining benefit
to the  Beneficiary  at least as  rapidly  as under the method in effect for the
Participant,  determined  without  regard to the MDIB  requirements  of  Section
6.02(C)(3).

     (2) Death prior to RBD. If the Participant's  death occurs prior to his/her
RBD (and the  Participant had not commenced an irrevocable  annuity  pursuant to
Section  6.04),  the method of payment  to the  Beneficiary,  subject to Section
6.04,  must provide for completion of payment to the  Beneficiary  over a period
not exceeding:  (a) 5 years after the date of the Participant's death; or (b) if
the Beneficiary is a designated Beneficiary,  the designated  Beneficiary's life
expectancy.  A  designated  Beneficiary  is  a  Beneficiary  designated  by  the
Participant  or determined  under Section 8.02. The Plan  Administrator  may not
direct  payment  of the  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance  over a  period
described  in clause  (b)  unless  the  Trustee  will  commence  payment  to the
designated  Beneficiary no later than the December 31 following the close of the
calendar year in which the  Participant's  death occurred or, if later,  and the
designated Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving spouse, December 31 of the
calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70 1/2.

     If the Trustee will make distribution in accordance with clause (b) of this
Section 6.02(D)(2),  the minimum  distribution for a distribution  calendar year
equals the Participant's  Vested Account Balance as of the latest valuation date
preceding  the  beginning  of the  distribution  calendar  year  divided  by the
designated  Beneficiary's  life expectancy.  The Plan Administrator must use the
unisex life  expectancy  multiples under Treas.  Reg.  ss.1.72-9 for purposes of
applying this Section 6.02(D).

     (3)  Recalculation.  The Plan  Administrator,  only upon the  Participant's
election  (under  Section  6.02(C)(2))  or the  Participant's  surviving  spouse
designated  Beneficiary's  election, will recalculate the life expectancy of the
Participant's  surviving spouse not more frequently than annually.  However, the
Plan  Administrator  may not  recalculate  the life  expectancy  of a  nonspouse
designated  Beneficiary  after the Trustee  commences  payment to the designated
Beneficiary.  The Plan Administrator will apply this Section 6.02(D) by treating
any  amount  paid to the  Participant's  child,  which  becomes  payable  to the
Participant's  surviving spouse upon the child's  attaining the age of majority,
as paid to the  Participant's  surviving  spouse. A surviving spouse  designated
Beneficiary must elect  recalculation under this ss.6.02(D)(3) in writing and on
a form the Plan  Administrator  prescribes  not  later  than the last day of the
spouse's first distribution year.

     (4) Beneficiary  election. If the Participant under Section 6.01(B) had not
elected the payment method or payment term, the  Participant's  Beneficiary must
elect the method of  distribution  no later than the date  specified  above upon
which  the  Trustee  must  commence  distribution  to  the  Beneficiary.  If the
Beneficiary fails to elect timely a distribution  method, the Plan Administrator
must commence  distribution  within the time required for a Participant who dies
without a designated Beneficiary.

     (E) Model Amendment.  The employer in Appendix B to its Adoption  Agreement
may elect to apply the following IRS Model Amendment:

     With respect to distributions under the Plan made on or after the effective
date the  Employer  specifies  in  Appendix  B to its  Adoption  Agreement,  for
calendar  years  beginning on or after January 1, 2001,  the Plan will apply the
minimum  distribution  requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue
Code in  accordance  with the  regulations  under  section  401(a)(9)  that were
proposed on January 17, 2001, (the "2001 Proposed Regulations"), notwithstanding
any  provision  of the Plan to the  contrary.  If the total  amount of  required
minimum  distributions  made to a  Participant  for 2001 prior to the Appendix B
effective  date are equal to or  greater  than the  amount of  required  minimum
distributions determined under the 2001 Proposed Regulations, then no additional
distributions  are required for such Participant for 2001 on or after such date.
If the total amount of required minimum  distributions made to a Participant for
2001 prior to the Appendix B effective date are less than the amount  determined
under  the 2001  Proposed  Regulations,  then the  amount  of  required  minimum
distributions  for 2001 on or after  such  date will be  determined  so that the
total amount of required minimum distributions for 2001 is the amount determined
under the 2001 Proposed  Regulations.  This  amendment  shall continue in effect
until the last  calendar  year  beginning  before  the  effective  date of final
regulations  under  section  401(a)(9) or such other date as may be published by
the Internal Revenue Service.

     6.03 METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION.  Subject to any contrary  requirements imposed
by Sections 6.01 (including 6.01(C) regarding in-service distributions), 6.02 or
6.04, a Participant or a Beneficiary  may elect  distribution  under one, or any
combination,  of the following methods:  (a) by payment in a lump sum; or (b) by
payment in monthly,  quarterly or annual  installments  over a fixed  reasonable
period of time,  not exceeding the life  expectancy of the  Participant,  or the
joint  life  and  last  survivor  expectancy  of  the  Participant  and  his/her
designated  Beneficiary.  The Employer  may elect in its  Adoption  Agreement to
modify  the  methods of  payment  available  under  this  Section  6.03.  If the
Employer's  Plan is a restated Plan, the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement and
in accordance with Treas.  Reg.  ss.1.411(d)-4,  may elect to eliminate from the
prior Plan certain Protected Benefits.  If the Employer elects or is required to
provide an annuity, the annuity must: (1) be a Nontransferable  Annuity; and (2)
otherwise comply with the Plan terms.

     The  distribution  options  permitted under this Section 6.03 are available
only if the  Participant's  Vested Account Balance,  as determined under Section
6.01(A)(6),  exceeds  $5,000.  To  facilitate  installment  payments  under this
Article VI, the Plan Administrator  under Section 9.08(B) may direct the Trustee
to  segregate  all or  any  part  of  the  Participant's  Account  Balance  in a
segregated   investment  Account.   Under  an  installment   distribution,   the
Participant or the Beneficiary, at any time, may elect to accelerate the payment
of all, or any portion, of the Participant's unpaid Vested Account Balance.

     Pending final accounting for a valuation date, the Plan  Administrator  may
make a partial  distribution to a Participant who has incurred a Separation from
Service or to a Beneficiary.

     6.04 ANNUITY DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS AND TO SURVIVING SPOUSES.

     (A) Qualified  Joint and Survivor  Annuity (QJSA).  The Plan  Administrator
must  direct the  Trustee to  distribute  a married or  unmarried  Participant's
Vested Account Balance in the form of a QJSA, unless the Participant, and spouse
if the  Participant is married,  waive the QJSA in accordance with Section 6.05.
If, as of the annuity  starting  date,  the  Participant is married (even if the
Participant  has not been married  throughout  the one year period ending on the
annuity starting date), a QJSA is an immediate annuity which is purchasable with
the  Participant's  Vested Account Balance and which provides a life annuity for
the  Participant  and a survivor  annuity  payable for the remaining life of the
Participant's surviving spouse equal to 50% of the amount of the annuity payable
during the life of the  Participant.  If, as of the annuity  starting  date, the
Participant  is not  married,  a QJSA  is an  immediate  life  annuity  for  the
Participant which is purchasable with the Participant's  Vested Account Balance.
A life annuity means an annuity  payable in equal  installments  for the life of
the Participant that terminates upon the Participant's death.

     (B)  Qualified   Preretirement   Survivor  Annuity  (QPSA).  If  a  married
Participant dies prior to his/her annuity starting date, the Plan  Administrator
will  direct the Trustee to  distribute  a portion of the  Participant's  Vested
Account  Balance to the  Participant's  surviving  spouse in the form of a QPSA,
unless: (1) the Participant has a valid waiver election (as described in Section
6.06) in effect;  or (2) the  Participant  and  his/her  spouse were not married
throughout  the one year period ending on the date of the  Participant's  death.
The Employer in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement may elect not to apply the
one year of marriage  requirement  in clause (2). A QPSA is an annuity  which is
purchasable with 50% of the Participant's  Vested Account Balance (determined as
of the date of the Participant's death) and which is payable for the life of the
Participant's  surviving  spouse.  The  value  of the  QPSA is  attributable  to
Employer  contributions and to Participant  contributions in the same proportion
as  the   Participant's   Vested  Account   Balance  is  attributable  to  those
contributions.  The  portion of the  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance not
payable as a QPSA is payable to the  Participant's  Beneficiary,  in  accordance
with the remaining provisions of this Article VI.

     (C) Surviving Spouse Elections. If the Participant's Vested Account Balance
which  the  Trustee  would  apply to  purchase  the  QPSA  exceeds  $5,000,  the
Participant's surviving spouse may elect to have the Trustee commence payment of
the QPSA at any time  following  the date of the  Participant's  death,  but not
later than the mandatory distribution periods described in Section 6.02, and may
elect any of the forms of  payment  described  in Section  6.03,  in lieu of the
QPSA.  In  the  absence  of an  election  by  the  surviving  spouse,  the  Plan
Administrator  must direct the Trustee to  distribute  the QPSA on the  earliest
administratively  practicable date following the close of the Plan Year in which
the latest of the following events occurs: (1) the Participant's  death; (2) the
date the Plan Administrator  receives  notification of or otherwise confirms the
Participant's  death;  (3) the date the  Participant  would have attained Normal
Retirement Age; or (4) the date the Participant would have attained age 62.

     (D)  Effect of  Waiver.  If the  Participant  has in effect a valid  waiver
election  regarding the QJSA or the QPSA, the Plan Administrator must direct the
Trustee to distribute the  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance in accordance
with Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03.

     (E) Loan  Offset.  The Plan  Administrator  will  reduce the  Participant's
Vested Account Balance by any security  interest  (pursuant to any offset rights
authorized  by  Section  10.03(E))  held by the Plan by reason of a  Participant
loan,  to  determine  the  value of the  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance
distributable  in the form of a QJSA or QPSA,  provided the loan  satisfied  the
spousal consent requirement described in Section 10.03(E).

     (F) Effect of QDRO.  For  purposes  of applying  this  Article VI, a former
spouse (in lieu of the Participant's current spouse) is the Participant's spouse
or surviving  spouse to the extent  provided  under a QDRO  described in Section
6.07. The provisions of this Section 6.04, and of Sections 6.05 and 6.06,  apply
separately to the portion of the Participant's Vested Account Balance subject to
a QDRO and to the  portion  of the  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance  not
subject to the QDRO.

     (G)  Vested  Account  Balance  Not  Exceeding  $5,000.   The  Trustee  must
distribute  in a lump sum, a  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance  which the
Trustee  otherwise  under  Section  6.04  would  apply to provide a QJSA or QPSA
benefit, where the Participant's Vested Account Balance determined under Section
6.01(A)(6) does not exceed $5,000.

     (H) Profit Sharing Plan  Exception.  If this Plan is a profit sharing plan,
the  Employer  in its  Adoption  Agreement  must  elect the  extent to which the
preceding  provisions  of Section  6.04 apply.  The Employer may elect to exempt
from the provisions of Section 6.04, all  Participants  ("Exempt  Participants")
except the following  Participants  to whom Section 6.04 must be applied:  (1) a
Participant as respects whom the Plan is a direct or indirect  transferee from a
plan subject to the Code ss.417  requirements and the Plan received the transfer
after December 31, 1984, unless the transfer is an elective  transfer  described
in Section 13.07;  (2) a Participant who elects a life annuity  distribution (if
Section  13.02  of the  Plan  requires  the  Plan  to  provide  a  life  annuity
distribution  option);  and (3) a  Participant  whose  benefits  under a defined
benefit plan  maintained by the Employer are offset by benefits  provided  under
this  Plan.  If  the  Employer   elects  to  apply  this  Section  6.04  to  all
Participants,  the  preceding  provisions  of this  Section  6.04  apply  to all
Participants without regard to the limitations of this Section 6.04(H). Sections
6.05 and 6.06 only apply to  Participants to whom the provisions of this Section
6.04 apply.

     6.05  WAIVER  ELECTION  - QJSA.  At least 30 days and not more than 90 days
before the  Participant's  annuity  starting date, the Plan  Administrator  must
provide the Participant a written explanation of the terms and conditions of the
QJSA, the  Participant's  right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive
the QJSA benefit,  the rights of the  Participant's  spouse regarding the waiver
election and the Participant's right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of
a waiver election ("QJSA  notice").  The Plan does not limit the number of times
the  Participant may revoke a waiver of the QJSA or make a new waiver during the
election  period.  The Participant  (and his/her  spouse,  if the Participant is
married),  may revoke an election to receive a particular form of benefit at any
time until the annuity starting date.

     A married  Participant's  QJSA waiver election is not valid unless: (a) the
Participant's  spouse (to whom the survivor  annuity is payable under the QJSA),
after the Participant has received the QJSA notice,  has consented in writing to
the  waiver  election,  the  spouse's  consent  acknowledges  the  effect of the
election,   and  a  notary  public  or  the  Plan   Administrator   (or  his/her
representative)  witnesses the spouse's consent;  (b) the spouse consents to the
alternative  form of payment  designated by the  Participant or to any change in
that designated form of payment;  and (c) unless the spouse is the Participant's
sole primary Beneficiary,  the spouse consents to the Participant's  Beneficiary
designation or to any change in the Participant's  Beneficiary designation.  The
spouse's consent to a waiver of the QJSA is irrevocable,  unless the Participant
revokes the waiver  election.  The spouse may  execute a blanket  consent to the
Participant's  future payment form election or Beneficiary  designation,  if the
spouse acknowledges the right to limit his/her consent to a specific designation
but, in writing, waives that right.

     The Plan  Administrator  will accept as valid a waiver  election which does
not  satisfy  the  spousal  consent   requirements  if  the  Plan  Administrator
establishes the Participant  does not have a spouse,  the Plan  Administrator is
not  able to  locate  the  Participant's  spouse,  the  Participant  is  legally
separated or has been abandoned (within the meaning of applicable state law) and
the Participant has a court order to that effect, or other  circumstances  exist
under which the  Secretary  of the  Treasury  will  excuse the  spousal  consent
requirement. If the Participant's spouse is legally incompetent to give consent,
the spouse's legal guardian (even if the guardian is the  Participant)  may give
consent.

     6.06 WAIVER ELECTION - QPSA. The Plan  Administrator must provide a written
explanation of the QPSA to each married Participant ("QPSA notice"),  within the
following  period which ends last: (1) the period  beginning on the first day of
the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 32 and ending on the last day
of the Plan Year in which  the  Participant  attains  age 34;  (2) a  reasonable
period after an Employee  becomes a Participant;  (3) a reasonable  period after
Section  6.04  of the  Plan  becomes  applicable  to the  Participant;  or (4) a
reasonable  period after the Plan no longer  satisfies  the  requirements  for a
fully subsidized  benefit.  A "reasonable  period" described in clauses (2), (3)
and (4) is the period  beginning  one year  before and ending one year after the
applicable event. If the Participant separates from Service before attaining age
35, clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) do not apply and the Plan  Administrator  must
provide the QPSA notice  within the period  beginning one year before and ending
one year after the Separation from Service. The QPSA notice must describe,  in a
manner  consistent  with Treasury  regulations,  the terms and conditions of the
QPSA and of the waiver of the QPSA, comparable to the QJSA notice required under
Section 6.05.  The Plan does not limit the number of times the  Participant  may
revoke a waiver of the QPSA or make a new waiver during the election period. The
election  period  for  waiver of the QPSA ends on the date of the  Participant's
death.

     A  Participant's  QPSA  waiver  election  is  not  valid  unless:  (a)  the
Participant  makes the waiver  election after the  Participant  has received the
QPSA notice and no earlier  than the first day of the Plan Year in which  he/she
attains age 35; and (b) the  Participant's  spouse (to whom the QPSA is payable)
satisfies  or is excused from the consent  requirements  as described in Section
6.05,  except the spouse need not consent to the form of benefit  payable to the
designated  Beneficiary.  The  spouse's  consent  to the  waiver  of the QPSA is
irrevocable, unless the Participant revokes the waiver election. The spouse also
may execute a blanket consent as described in Section 6.05.  Irrespective of the
time of  election  requirement  described  in  clause  (a),  if the  Participant
separates  from Service  prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which he/she
attains age 35, the Plan Administrator will accept a waiver election as respects
the  Participant's  Account  Balance  attributable  to his/her  Service prior to
his/her  Separation  from Service.  Furthermore,  if a  Participant  who has not
separated  from  Service  makes a valid waiver  election,  except for the timing
requirement of clause (a), the Plan  Administrator  will accept that election as
valid,  but only  until the first day of the Plan Year in which the  Participant
attains age 35.

     6.07 DISTRIBUTIONS  UNDER QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS (QDRO).  Not-
withstanding  any other provision of this Plan, the Trustee,  in accordance with
the direction of the Plan  Administrator,  must comply with the  provisions of a
QDRO,  as defined in Code  ss.414(p),  which is issued with respect to the Plan.
This Plan specifically  permits  distribution to an alternate payee under a QDRO
at any time,  irrespective  of whether  the  Participant  has  attained  his/her
earliest  retirement  age (as defined  under Code  ss.414(p))  under the Plan. A
distribution  to an alternate  payee prior to the  Participant's  attainment  of
earliest   retirement   age  is  available  only  if:  (1)  the  QDRO  specifies
distribution  at that time or  permits  an  agreement  between  the Plan and the
alternate  payee to  authorize an earlier  distribution;  and (2) if the present
value of the alternate  payee's benefits under the Plan exceeds $5,000,  and the
QDRO requires,  the alternate payee consents to any distribution occurring prior
to the  Participant's  attainment of earliest  retirement  age.  Nothing in this
Section 6.07 gives a Participant a right to receive  distribution  at a time the
Plan  otherwise  does not permit nor does Section 6.07  authorize  the alternate
payee to receive a form of payment the Plan does not permit.

     The Plan  Administrator must establish  reasonable  procedures to determine
the qualified status of a domestic  relations  order.  Upon receiving a domestic
relations order, the Plan Administrator promptly will notify the Participant and
any alternate payee named in the order, in writing,  of the receipt of the order
and the Plan's  procedures for  determining  the qualified  status of the order.
Within a reasonable period of time after receiving the domestic relations order,
the Plan Administrator must determine the qualified status of the order and must
notify  the  Participant  and each  alternate  payee,  in  writing,  of the Plan
Administrator's determination.  The Plan Administrator must provide notice under
this paragraph by mailing to the individual's  address specified in the domestic
relations order, or in a manner consistent with DOL regulations.

     If any portion of the Participant's Vested Account Balance is payable under
the domestic  relations order during the period the Plan Administrator is making
its  determination of the qualified status of the domestic  relations order, the
Plan Administrator  must maintain a separate  accounting of the amounts payable.
If the Plan Administrator determines the order is a QDRO within 18 months of the
date  amounts  first are payable  following  receipt of the  domestic  relations
order, the Plan  Administrator will direct the Trustee to distribute the payable
amounts in accordance with the QDRO. If the Plan Administrator does not make its
determination  of  the  qualified  status  of  the  order  within  the  18-month
determination  period,  the  Plan  Administrator  will  direct  the  Trustee  to
distribute  the payable  amounts in the manner the Plan would  distribute if the
order  did not  exist  and  will  apply  the  order  prospectively  if the  Plan
Administrator later determines the order is a QDRO.

     To the extent it is not  inconsistent  with the provisions of the QDRO, the
Plan Administrator under Section 9.08(B) may direct the Trustee to segregate the
QDRO  amount in a  segregated  investment  account.  The  Trustee  will make any
payments or  distributions  required under this Section 6.07 by separate benefit
checks or other separate distribution to the alternate payee(s).

     6.08 DEFAULTED  LOAN - TIMING OF OFFSET.  If a Participant or a Beneficiary
defaults on a Plan loan, the Plan Administrator will determine the timing of the
reduction  (offset) of the  Participant's  Vested Account  Balance in accordance
with this Section 6.08 and the Plan  Administrator's  loan policy. If, under the
loan policy a loan default  also is a  distributable  event under the Plan,  the
Trustee, at the time of the loan default,  will offset the Participant's  Vested
Account  Balance  by the  lesser of the  amount in  default  (including  accrued
interest) or the Plan's security interest in that Vested Account Balance. If the
loan is from a money purchase pension plan or from a target benefit plan and the
loan default is a  distributable  event under the loan policy,  the Trustee will
offset the Participant's  Account Balance in the manner described above, only if
the  Participant  has incurred a Separation  from Service or has attained Normal
Retirement  Age.  If the loan is under a 401(k)  arrangement,  to the extent the
loan  is  attributable  to the  Participant's  deferral  contributions  Account,
qualified matching  contributions Account,  qualified nonelective  contributions
Account or safe harbor  contributions  Account,  the Trustee will not offset the
Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance  unless the  Participant  has incurred a
Separation from Service or unless the Participant has attained age 59 1/2.

     6.09 HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTION.  For purposes of this Plan, unless the Employer
in its Adoption Agreement Section 6.01 elects otherwise, a hardship distribution
is a distribution on account of one or more of the following immediate and heavy
financial  needs:  (1)  expenses for medical  care  described in Code  ss.213(d)
incurred  by the  Participant,  by the  Participant's  spouse,  or by any of the
Participant's  dependents,  or necessary to obtain such medical care;  (2) costs
directly related to the purchase  (excluding  mortgage  payments) of a principal
residence of the Participant;  (3) payment of  post-secondary  education tuition
and related  educational fees (including room and board),  for the next 12-month
period,  for the Participant,  for the  Participant's  spouse, or for any of the
Participant's  dependents (as defined in Code ss.152); (4) payments necessary to
prevent the eviction of the Participant from his/her principal  residence or the
foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant's principal residence; or (5) any
need the  Revenue  Service  prescribes  in a  revenue  ruling,  notice  or other
document of general  applicability which satisfies the safe harbor definition of
hardship under Treas. Reg. ss.1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iv)(A). See Section 14.11(A) if a
hardship  distribution is from a Participant's  elective  deferral  Account in a
401(k)  arrangement.  The  Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  Section 6.01 may
elect to apply Section 14.11(A) to all Plan hardship distributions.  If the Plan
permits  a  hardship  distribution  from more than one  Account  type,  the Plan
Administrator   may   determine  any  ordering  of  a   Participant's   hardship
distribution from the hardship distribution eligible Accounts.

     6.10 DIRECT ROLLOVER OF ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS.

     (A)  Participant  Election.  A Participant  (including for this purpose,  a
former Employee) may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan
Administrator,  to have any portion of his/her  eligible  rollover  distribution
from the Plan paid  directly to an eligible  retirement  plan  specified  by the
Participant in a direct rollover election.  For purposes of this Section 6.10, a
Participant includes as to their respective interests, a Participant's surviving
spouse and the  Participant's  spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee
under a QDRO.

     (B) Rollover and Withholding  Notice. At least 30 days and not more than 90
days prior to the Trustee's  distribution of an eligible rollover  distribution,
the Plan Administrator must provide a written notice (including a summary notice
as  permitted  under  applicable   Treasury   regulations)   explaining  to  the
distributee  the rollover  option,  the  applicability  of mandatory 20% federal
withholding to any amount not directly rolled over, and the recipient's right to
roll  over  within  60 days  after  the  date  of  receipt  of the  distribution
("rollover  notice").  If applicable,  the rollover notice also must explain the
availability   of  income   averaging  and  the  exclusion  of  net   unrealized
appreciation.  A recipient of an eligible rollover  distribution (whether he/she
elects a direct rollover or elects to receive the distribution),  also may elect
to  receive  distribution  at any  administratively  practicable  time  which is
earlier  than  30 days  (but  not  less  than 7 days if  Section  6.04  applies)
following receipt of the rollover notice.

     (C) Default rollover. The Plan Administrator,  in the case of a Participant
who does not respond timely to the notice described in Section 6.10(B), may make
a direct rollover of the  Participant's  Account (as described in Revenue Ruling
2000-36 or in any successor  guidance) in lieu of distributing the Participant's
Account.

     (D) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this Section 6.10:

     (1) Eligible rollover  distribution.  An eligible rollover  distribution is
any  distribution  of all or any  portion  of the  balance  to the credit of the
Participant,  except an eligible rollover distribution does not include: (a) any
distribution  which is one of a series of substantially  equal periodic payments
(not less  frequently  than annually) made for the life (or life  expectancy) of
the  Participant  or  the  joint  lives  (or  joint  life  expectancies)  of the
Participant and the  Participant's  designated  beneficiary,  or for a specified
period  of ten  years  or  more;  (b) any  Code  ss.401(a)(9)  required  minimum
distribution;  (c) the portion of any  distribution  which is not  includible in
gross income  (determined  without  regard to the  exclusion  of net  unrealized
appreciation with respect to employer securities); (d) any hardship distribution
made after  December  31,  1998,  from a  Participant's  deferral  contributions
Account (except where the Participant also satisfies a non-hardship distribution
event described in Section  14.03(d));  and (e) any distribution which otherwise
would be an eligible rollover distribution, but where the total distributions to
the  Participant  during that calendar year are  reasonably  expected to be less
than $200.

     (2) Eligible  retirement plan. An eligible retirement plan is an individual
retirement account described in Code ss.408(a), an individual retirement annuity
described in Code ss.408(b),  an annuity plan described in Code ss.403(a),  or a
qualified trust described in Code ss.401(a),  which accepts the Participant's or
alternate payee's eligible  rollover  distribution.  However,  in the case of an
eligible rollover  distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible  retirement
plan is  either  an  individual  retirement  account  or  individual  retirement
annuity.

     (3)  Direct  rollover.  A direct  rollover  is a payment by the Plan to the
eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

     6.11 TEFRA ELECTIONS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.02
and 6.03, if the  Participant  (or  Beneficiary)  signed a written  distribution
designation prior to January 1, 1984,  ("TEFRA election") the Plan Administrator
must direct the Trustee to distribute the  Participant's  Vested Account Balance
in accordance  with that  election,  subject  however,  to the survivor  annuity
requirements,  if applicable, of Sections 6.04, 6.05 and 6.06. This Section 6.11
does not apply to a TEFRA election,  and the Plan  Administrator will not comply
with that election,  if any of the following applies:  (1) the elected method of
distribution  would have  disqualified  the Plan under Code  ss.401(a)(9)  as in
effect on December 31, 1983; (2) the Participant did not have an Account Balance
as of December 31, 1983;  (3) the election  does not specify the timing and form
of the distribution and the death Beneficiaries (in order of priority);  (4) the
substitution of a Beneficiary  modifies the distribution payment period; or, (5)
the Participant (or Beneficiary)  modifies or revokes the election. In the event
of a revocation,  the Trustee must distribute,  no later than December 31 of the
calendar year following the year of revocation, the amount which the Participant
would have received under Section 6.02 if the  distribution  designation had not
been in effect or, if the Beneficiary revokes the distribution designation,  the
amount  which the  Beneficiary  would have  received  under  Section 6.02 if the
distribution  designation had not been in effect.  The Plan  Administrator  will
apply this Section 6.11 to rollovers and transfers in accordance  with Part J of
the Code ss.401(a)(9) Treasury regulations.


                                   ARTICLE VII
                       EMPLOYER ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

     7.01  INFORMATION TO PLAN  ADMINISTRATOR.  The Employer must supply current
information to the Plan  Administrator  as to the name,  date of birth,  date of
employment,  Compensation,  leaves  of  absence,  Years of  Service  and date of
Separation  from  Service of each  Employee  who is, or who will be  eligible to
become, a Participant under the Plan,  together with any other information which
the Plan Administrator  considers necessary to administer properly the Plan. The
Employer's  records as to the current  information the Employer furnishes to the
Plan Administrator are conclusive as to all persons.

     7.02 NO  RESPONSIBILITY  FOR OTHERS.  Except as required  under ERISA,  the
Employer  has no  responsibility  or  obligation  under  the Plan to  Employees,
Participants  or  Beneficiaries  for any act (unless the Employer also serves in
such capacities) required of the Plan Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian,
or of any other service provider to the Plan.

     7.03 INDEMNITY OF CERTAIN FIDUCIARIES.  The Employer will indemnify, defend
and hold  harmless  the Plan  Administrator  from and  against  any and all loss
resulting  from  liability to which the Plan  Administrator  may be subjected by
reason of any act or omission (except willful misconduct or gross negligence) in
its official  capacities  in the  administration  of this Trust or Plan or both,
including attorneys' fees and all other expenses reasonably incurred in the Plan
Administrator's defense, in case the Employer fails to provide such defense. The
indemnification  provisions  of  this  Section  7.03  do not  relieve  the  Plan
Administrator from any liability the Plan Administrator may have under ERISA for
breach of a fiduciary duty. Furthermore, the Plan Administrator and the Employer
may  execute  a  written  agreement  further   delineating  the  indemnification
agreement of this Section 7.03,  provided the  agreement is consistent  with and
does not violate  ERISA.  The  indemnification  provisions  of this Section 7.03
extend to any  Trustee,  third  party  administrator,  Custodian  or other  Plan
service provider solely to the extent provided by a written  agreement  executed
by such persons and the Employer.

     7.04 EMPLOYER DIRECTION OF INVESTMENT. The Employer has the right to direct
the  Trustee  with  respect  to  the  investment  and  re-investment  of  assets
comprising  the Trust  Fund only if and to the extent the  Trustee  consents  in
writing to permit such direction.

     7.05  EVIDENCE.  Anyone  including  the  Employer,  required  to give data,
statements  or  other   information   relevant  under  the  terms  of  the  Plan
("evidence") may do so by certificate,  affidavit,  document or other form which
the person to act in reliance may consider pertinent,  reliable and genuine, and
to have been signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.  The Plan
Administrator and the Trustee are protected fully in acting and relying upon any
evidence described under the immediately preceding sentence.

     7.06 PLAN  CONTRIBUTIONS.  The Employer is solely  responsible to determine
the proper amount of any Employer  contribution it makes to the Plan and for the
timely deposit to the Trust of the Employer's Plan contributions.

     7.07 EMPLOYER  ACTION.  The Employer must take any action under the Plan in
accordance with  applicable Plan provisions and with proper  authority such that
the action is valid and under applicable law and is binding upon the Employer.

     7.08 FIDUCIARIES NOT INSURERS.  The Trustee, the Plan Administrator and the
Employer  in no way  guarantee  the Trust  Fund from loss or  depreciation.  The
Employer does not guarantee the payment of any money which may be or becomes due
to any person from the Trust  Fund.  The  liability  of the  Employer,  the Plan
Administrator  and the  Trustee to make any  payment  from the Trust Fund at any
time and all times is limited to the then available assets of the Trust.

     7.09 PLAN TERMS  BINDING.  The Plan is binding upon the Employer,  Trustee,
Plan  Administrator,  Custodian  (and all other service  providers to the Plan),
upon Participants, Beneficiaries and all other persons entitled to benefits, and
upon the successors and assigns of the foregoing persons.

     7.10 WORD USAGE.  Words used in the  masculine  also apply to the  feminine
where  applicable,  and  wherever the context of the Plan  dictates,  the plural
includes the singular and the singular  includes the plural.  Titles of Plan and
Adoption Agreement sections are for reference only.

     7.11 STATE LAW. The law of the state of the Employer's  principal  place of
business will determine all questions  arising with respect to the provisions of
the Plan,  except to the extent  superseded  by ERISA or other  federal law. The
Employer in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement and subject to applicable law,
may elect to apply the law of another state.

     7.12  PROTOTYPE PLAN STATUS.  If the Plan fails  initially to qualify or to
maintain qualification or if the Employer makes any amendment or modification to
a provision of the Plan (other than a proper completion of an elective provision
under the Adoption Agreement or the attachment of an Addendum  authorized by the
Plan or by the Adoption Agreement), the Employer no longer may participate under
this  Prototype  Plan.  The Employer  also may not  participate  (or continue to
participate)  in this  Prototype  Plan if the Trustee or Custodian does not have
the written consent of the Prototype Plan Sponsor required under Section 1.33 to
serve in the capacity of Trustee or  Custodian.  If the Employer is not entitled
to participate  under this Prototype Plan, the Plan is an  individually-designed
plan and the reliance procedures  specified in the applicable Adoption Agreement
no longer apply.

     7.13  EMPLOYMENT NOT  GUARANTEED.  Nothing  contained in this Plan, or with
respect to the  establishment of the Trust, or any modification or any amendment
to the Plan or Trust, or in the creation of any Account,  or with respect to the
payment of any benefit,  gives any Employee,  Participant or any Beneficiary any
right to employment or to continued employment by the Employer,  or any legal or
equitable right against the Employer, the Trustee, the Plan Administrator or any
employee or agent thereof,  except as expressly provided by the Plan, the Trust,
ERISA or other applicable law.


                                  ARTICLE VIII
                      PARTICIPANT ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

     8.01  BENEFICIARY  DESIGNATION.   A  Participant  from  time  to  time  may
designate,  in  writing,  any  person(s)  (including  a trust or other  entity),
contingently  or  successively,  to whom the Trustee will pay the  Participant's
Vested Account  Balance  (including any life insurance  proceeds  payable to the
Participant's  Account) in the event of death. A Participant  also may designate
the form and method of payment of his/her Account.  The Plan  Administrator will
prescribe the form for the Participant's written designation of Beneficiary and,
upon the  Participant's  filing the form with the Plan  Administrator,  the form
effectively  revokes  all  designations  filed  prior  to that  date by the same
Participant.  A divorce  decree,  or a decree of legal  separation,  revokes the
Participant's  designation,  if any,  of his/her  spouse as his/her  Beneficiary
under the Plan unless: (1) the decree or a QDRO provides  otherwise;  or (2) the
Employer  provides  otherwise  in an Addendum  to its  Adoption  Agreement.  The
foregoing  revocation  provision (if applicable)  applies only with respect to a
Participant whose divorce or legal separation  becomes effective on or following
the date the Employer  executes  this Plan,  unless the Employer in its Adoption
Agreement specifies a different effective date.

     (A)  Coordination  with  Survivor  Annuity  Requirements.  If Section  6.04
applies to the  Participant,  this  Section  8.01 does not  impose  any  special
spousal consent requirements on the Participant's Beneficiary designation unless
the Participant  waives the QJSA or QPSA benefit.  If the Participant waives the
QJSA or QPSA benefit without spousal  consent to the  Participant's  Beneficiary
designation:  (1) any waiver of the QJSA or of the QPSA is not valid; and (2) if
the Participant dies prior to his/her annuity  starting date, the  Participant's
Beneficiary  designation  will  apply only to the  portion of the death  benefit
which is not  payable as a QPSA.  Regarding  clause  (2),  if the  Participant's
surviving spouse is a primary  Beneficiary under the  Participant's  Beneficiary
designation, the Trustee will satisfy the spouse's interest in the Participant's
death benefit first from the portion which is payable as a QPSA.

     (B) Profit  Sharing Plan  Exception.  If the Plan is a profit sharing plan,
the  Beneficiary  designation of a married Exempt  Participant,  as described in
Section  6.04(H),  is not valid unless the  Participant's  spouse consents (in a
manner  described in Section 6.05) to the Beneficiary  designation.  The spousal
consent  requirement in this Section 8.01(B) does not apply if the Participant's
spouse  is  the  Participant's  sole  primary  Beneficiary,  or  if  the  Exempt
Participant  and his/her spouse are not married  throughout the one-year  period
ending on the date of the Participant's death.

     (C)   Incapacity   of   Beneficiary.   If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Plan
Administrator,  a Beneficiary is not able to care for his/her affairs because of
a  mental  condition,   physical  condition  or  by  reason  of  age,  the  Plan
Administrator will apply the provisions of Section 10.09.

     8.02 NO BENEFICIARY  DESIGNATION  /DEATH OF  BENEFICIARY.  If a Participant
fails  to  name  a  Beneficiary  in  accordance  with  Section  8.01,  or if the
Beneficiary named by a Participant predeceases the Participant, then the Trustee
will pay the  Participant's  Vested Account  Balance in accordance  with Section
6.03 in the  following  order of  priority  (unless  the  Employer  specifies  a
different order of priority in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement), to:

     (a) The  Participant's  surviving  spouse  (without  regard to the one-year
marriage rule of Sections 6.04(B) and 8.01(B); and if no surviving spouse to

     (b) The  Participant's  children  (including  adopted  children),  in equal
shares by right of  representation  (one share for each surviving  child and one
share for each child who predeceases the Participant  with living  descendents);
and if none to

     (c) The Participant's surviving parents, in equal shares; and if none to

     (d) The Participant's estate.

     If the Beneficiary survives the Participant, but dies prior to distribution
of the  Participant's  entire Vested Account  Balance,  the Trustee will pay the
remaining  Vested Account Balance to the  Beneficiary's  estate unless:  (1) the
Participant's  Beneficiary  designation provides otherwise;  (2) the Beneficiary
has properly designated a beneficiary; or (3) the Employer provides otherwise in
an  Addendum to its  Adoption  Agreement.  A  Beneficiary  only may  designate a
beneficiary for the Participant's Account Balance remaining at the Beneficiary's
death, if the Participant has not previously  designated a successive contingent
beneficiary and the Beneficiary's  designation  otherwise complies with the Plan
terms.  If the Plan is a profit  sharing  plan,  and the  Plan  includes  Exempt
Participants,  the Employer may not specify a different  order of priority in an
Addendum  unless the  Participant's  surviving  spouse will be the sole  primary
Beneficiary  in the different  order of priority.  The Plan  Administrator  will
direct the  Trustee as to the method and to whom the Trustee  will make  payment
under this Section 8.02.

     8.03  ASSIGNMENT  OR  ALIENATION.  Except  as  provided  in Code  ss.414(p)
relating  to QDROs and in Code  ss.401(a)(13)  relating  to  certain  voluntary,
revocable  assignments,  judgments and settlements,  neither a Participant nor a
Beneficiary may anticipate,  assign or alienate (either at law or in equity) any
benefit  provided  under the Plan,  and the Trustee will not  recognize any such
anticipation,  assignment or alienation. Furthermore, except as provided by Code
ss.401(a)(13)  or other  applicable law, a benefit under the Plan is not subject
to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.

     8.04  INFORMATION  AVAILABLE.  Any  Participant or Beneficiary  may examine
copies of the Plan description,  latest annual report, any bargaining agreement,
this Plan and Trust,  and any contract or any other  instrument which relates to
the establishment or administration of the Plan or Trust. The Plan Administrator
will maintain all of the items listed in this Section 8.04 in its office,  or in
such  other  place or places as it may  designate  from time to time in order to
comply  with  the  regulations   issued  under  ERISA,  for  examination  during
reasonable  business  hours.  Upon the  written  request of a  Participant  or a
Beneficiary,  the Plan Administrator must furnish the Participant or Beneficiary
with a copy of any item listed in this Section 8.04. The Plan  Administrator may
make a reasonable copying charge to the requesting person.

     8.05  CLAIMS  PROCEDURE  FOR  DENIAL  OF  BENEFITS.   A  Participant  or  a
Beneficiary  may file with the Plan  Administrator a written claim for benefits,
if  the  Participant  or  the  Beneficiary  disputes  the  Plan  Administrator's
determination   regarding  the  Participant's  or  Beneficiary's  Plan  benefit.
However,  the Plan will  distribute  only such Plan benefits to  Participants or
Beneficiaries  as  the  Plan  Administrator  in  its  discretion   determines  a
Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to. The Plan  Administrator will maintain
a separate written document as part of (or which accompanies) the Plan's summary
plan  description  explaining  the Plan's  claims  procedure.  This Section 8.05
specifically  incorporates  the written  claims  procedure  as from time to time
published  by  the  Plan  Administrator  as a  part  of the  Plan.  If the  Plan
Administrator  pursuant to the Plan's  written  claims  procedure  makes a final
written  determination  denying a Participant's or Beneficiary's  benefit claim,
the  Participant  or  Beneficiary to preserve the claim must file an action with
respect to the denied  claim not later than 180 days  following  the date of the
Plan Administrator's final determination.

     8.06 PARTICIPANT DIRECTION OF INVESTMENT.  A Participant's direction of the
investment of his/her Account is subject to the provisions of this Section 8.06.
For  purposes  of  this  Section  8.06,  a  Participant  shall  also  include  a
Beneficiary where the Beneficiary has succeeded to the Participant's Account and
the Plan affords the  Beneficiary  the same  self-direction  or loan rights as a
Participant.

     (A) Trustee  Authorization  and Procedures.  A Participant has the right to
direct the Trustee with respect to the investment or re-investment of the assets
comprising the Participant's  individual Account only if the Trustee consents in
writing  to permit  such  direction.  If the  Trustee  consents  to  Participant
direction  of  investment,  the  Trustee  only will accept  direction  from each
Participant  on a written  direction of investment  form the Plan  Administrator
provides for this purpose.  The Trustee, or with the Trustee's consent, the Plan
Administrator,   may  establish  written  procedures   relating  to  Participant
direction  of  investment  under this  Section  8.06,  including  procedures  or
conditions   for   electronic   transfers  or  for  changes  in  investments  by
Participants.  The Plan  Administrator  will maintain,  or direct the Trustee to
maintain,  an  appropriate   individual  investment  Account  to  the  extent  a
Participant's Account is subject to Participant self-direction.

     (B) ERISA ss.404(c). No Plan fiduciary (including the Employer and Trustee)
is  liable  for any  loss  or for  any  breach  resulting  from a  Participant's
direction  of the  investment  of any part of  his/her  directed  Account to the
extent the  Participant's  exercise of his/her right to direct the investment of
his/her Account satisfies the requirements of ERISA ss.404(c).

     (C) Participant Loans. The Plan Administrator,  to the extent provided in a
written loan policy adopted under Section 9.04, will treat a Plan loan made to a
Participant  as a Participant  direction of investment  under this Section 8.06,
even if the Plan  otherwise  does not  permit a  Participant  to direct  his/her
Account  investments.  Where a loan is  treated as a  directed  investment,  the
borrowing  Participant's  Account alone shares in any interest paid on the loan,
and it alone  bears any expense or loss it incurs in  connection  with the loan.
The  Trustee  may  retain  any  principal  or  interest  paid  on the  borrowing
Participant's  loan in a segregated Account (as described in Section 9.08(B)) on
behalf of the borrowing  Participant  until the Trustee (or the Named Fiduciary,
in the case of a nondiscretionary  Trustee) deems it appropriate to add the loan
payments to the Participant's Account under the Plan.

     (D)  Collectibles.  If the Trustee  consents to  Participant  direction  of
investment  of his/her  Account,  any  post-December  31, 1981,  investment by a
Participant's directed Account in collectibles (as defined by Code ss.408(m)) is
a deemed distribution to the Participant for Federal income tax purposes.


                                   ARTICLE IX
                               PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

     9.01 COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES. The Plan Administrator (and any individuals
serving as Plan Administrator)  will serve without  compensation for services as
such, but the Employer will pay all expenses of the Plan  Administrator,  except
to the extent the Trustee  properly pays for such expenses,  pursuant to Article
X.

     9.02 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL.  If the Employer appoints one or more persons
to serve as Plan Administrator,  such person(s) shall serve until they resign by
written  notice to the  Employer or until the  Employer  removes them by written
notice. In case of a vacancy in the position of Plan Administrator, the Employer
will  exercise  any and all of the  powers,  authority,  duties  and  discretion
conferred upon the Plan Administrator pending the filling of the vacancy.

     9.03 GENERAL POWERS AND DUTIES.  The Plan  Administrator  has the following
general  powers and duties  which are in  addition  to those the Plan  otherwise
accords to the Plan Administrator:

     (a) To determine the rights of eligibility of an Employee to participate in
the Plan, all factual  questions that arise in the course of  administering  the
Plan, the value of a  Participant's  Account  Balance (based on the value of the
Trust assets,  as  determined by the Trustee) and the Vested  percentage of each
Participant's Account Balance;

     (b) To adopt rules of procedure  and  regulations  necessary for the proper
and  efficient   administration  of  the  Plan,   provided  the  rules  are  not
inconsistent  with the terms of the Plan,  the Code,  ERISA or other  applicable
law;

     (c) To  construe  and  enforce  the  terms of the Plan  and the  rules  and
regulations the Plan Administrator adopts, including interpretation of the basic
plan  document,  the Adoption  Agreement and any document  related to the Plan's
operation;

     (d) To direct the Trustee  regarding the crediting and  distribution of the
Trust Fund and to direct the Trustee to conduct interim valuations under Section
10.15;

     (e) To review and render  decisions  regarding  a claim for (or denial of a
claim for) a benefit under the Plan;

     (f) To furnish the Employer with information which the Employer may require
for tax or other purposes;

     (g) To engage the  service of agents whom the Plan  Administrator  may deem
advisable to assist it with the performance of its duties;

     (h) To engage the services of an Investment Manager or Managers (as defined
in ERISA  ss.3(38)),  each of whom will have full power and authority to manage,
acquire  or dispose  (or  direct the  Trustee  with  respect to  acquisition  or
disposition) of any Plan asset under such Manager's control;

     (i) To make any other  determinations  and  undertake any other actions the
Plan Administrator  believes are necessary or appropriate for the administration
of the Plan; and

     (j) To  establish  and  maintain  a funding  standard  account  and to make
credits and charges to the account to the extent  required by and in  accordance
with the provisions of the Code.

     The  Plan  Administrator  must  exercise  all of  its  powers,  duties  and
discretion under the Plan in a uniform and  nondiscriminatory  manner.  The Plan
Administrator shall have total and complete discretion to interpret and construe
the  Plan  and  to  determine  all  questions  arising  in  the  administration,
interpretation   and  application  of  the  Plan.  Any  determination  the  Plan
Administrator  makes  under  the Plan is final  and  binding  upon any  affected
person.

     9.04 PLAN LOANS. The Plan  Administrator  may, in its sole  discretion,  in
accordance  with Section  10.03(E)  establish,  amend or terminate  from time to
time, a  nondiscriminatory  policy which the Trustee must observe in making Plan
loans, if any, to Participants and to Beneficiaries.  If the Plan  Administrator
adopts a loan  policy,  the loan  policy  must be a  written  document  and must
include:  (1) the identity of the person or positions  authorized  to administer
the participant loan program; (2) the procedure for applying for a loan; (3) the
criteria for approving or denying a loan;  (4) the  limitations,  if any, on the
types and  amounts of loans  available;  (5) the  procedure  for  determining  a
reasonable  rate of interest;  (6) the types of collateral  which may secure the
loan; and (7) the events  constituting  default and the steps the Plan will take
to  preserve  Plan  assets  in the  event of  default.  A loan  policy  the Plan
Administrator  adopts under this  Section 9.04 is part of the Plan,  except that
the Plan  Administrator  may amend or  terminate  the policy  without  regard to
Section 13.02.

     9.05 FUNDING POLICY.  The Plan  Administrator  will review,  not less often
than  annually,  all pertinent  Employee  information  and Plan data in order to
establish  the  funding  policy  of the Plan and to  determine  the  appropriate
methods of  carrying  out the Plan's  objectives.  The Plan  Administrator  must
communicate  periodically,  as it deems  appropriate,  to the Trustee and to any
Plan Investment Manager the Plan's short-term and long-term  financial needs for
the   coordination  of  the  Plan's   investment   policy  with  Plan  financial
requirements.

     9.06 INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS.  The Plan Administrator will maintain,  or direct
the Trustee to maintain,  a separate Account, or multiple Accounts,  in the name
of each Participant to reflect the Participant's Account Balance under the Plan.

     (A) Forfeitures.  If a Participant re-enters the Plan subsequent to his/her
having a Forfeiture Break in Service,  the Plan  Administrator,  or the Trustee,
must maintain a separate Account for the Participant's  pre-Forfeiture  Break in
Service Account Balance and a separate Account for his post-Forfeiture  Break in
Service Account Balance,  unless the Participant's  entire Account Balance under
the Plan is 100% Vested.

     If the Plan is subject to Participant direction of investment under Section
8.06,  the Plan  Administrator  may  maintain,  or may  direct  the  Trustee  to
maintain,  a separate  temporary  forfeiture  Account in the name of the Plan to
account  for  Participant  forfeitures  which  occur  during the Plan Year.  The
Trustee will direct the investment of any separate temporary forfeiture Account.
As of each Accounting Date, or interim  valuation date, if applicable,  the Plan
Administrator  will  allocate  the net income,  gain or loss from the  temporary
forfeiture  Account,  if any, to the Accounts of the  Participants in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.08.

     (B) Net  Income,  Gain or  Loss.  The  Plan  Administrator  will  make  its
allocations  of net  income,  gain or loss or  request  the  Trustee to make its
allocations,  to the  Accounts  of  the  Participants  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of Section 9.08. The Plan  Administrator may direct the Trustee under
Section  9.08(B) to maintain a temporary  segregated  investment  Account in the
name  of a  Participant  to  prevent  a  distortion  of  income,  gain  or  loss
allocations. The Plan Administrator must maintain records of its activities.

     9.07 VALUE OF PARTICIPANT'S  ACCOUNT BALANCE. If any or all Plan investment
accounts are pooled, each Participant's Account has an undivided interest in the
assets  comprising the pooled account.  In a pooled  account,  the value of each
Participant's  Account Balance  consists of that proportion of the net worth (at
fair  market  value) of the Trust Fund  which the net credit  balance in his/her
Account (exclusive of the cash value of incidental benefit insurance  contracts)
bears to the total net credit  balance in the  Accounts  (exclusive  of the cash
value of the incidental  benefit  insurance  contracts) of all Participants plus
the cash surrender value of any incidental  benefit insurance  contracts held by
the Trustee on the  Participant's  life. If any or all Plan investment  accounts
are  Participant  directed,  the  directing  Participant's  Account  Balance  is
comprised  of the assets held within the Account and the value of the Account is
the fair market value of such assets.  For purposes of a distribution  under the
Plan,  the  value of a  Participant's  Account  Balance  is its  value as of the
valuation date immediately preceding the date of the distribution.

     9.08 ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF NET INCOME,  GAIN OR LOSS. This Section
9.08 applies solely to the  allocation of net income,  gain or loss of the Trust
Fund.  The  Plan   Administrator   will  allocate  Employer   contributions  and
Participant forfeitures, if any, in accordance with Article III.

     A  "valuation  date"  under this Plan is each:  (1)  Accounting  Date;  (2)
valuation date the Employer elects in its Adoption  Agreement  Section 10.15; or
(3) valuation date the Plan  Administrator  establishes  under Section 9.03. The
Employer in its Adoption  Agreement Section 10.15 or the Plan  Administrator may
elect alternative valuation dates for the different Account types which the Plan
Administrator  maintains  under the Plan. As of each  valuation  date,  the Plan
Administrator must adjust Accounts to reflect net income, gain or loss since the
last  valuation  date. The valuation  period is the period  beginning on the day
after the last valuation date and ending on the current valuation date.

     The  Plan  Administrator  will  allocate  net  income,  gain or loss to the
Participant  Accounts in accordance  with the daily  valuation  method,  balance
forward method,  weighted  average  method,  or other method the Employer elects
under its Adoption  Agreement.  The Employer in its Adoption Agreement may elect
alternative  methods  under which the Plan  Administrator  will allocate the net
income, gain or loss to the different Account types which the Plan Administrator
maintains  under the Plan. If the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  elects to
apply a weighted average  allocation method, the Plan Administrator will treat a
weighted  portion  of  the  applicable  contributions  as if  includible  in the
Participant's  Account as of the beginning of the valuation period. The weighted
portion is a  fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the number of months in the
valuation  period,  excluding  each month in the  valuation  period which begins
prior  to  the  contribution  date  of the  applicable  contributions,  and  the
denominator  of which is the  number  of  months in the  valuation  period.  The
Employer in its Adoption  Agreement may elect to  substitute a weighting  period
other than  months for  purposes of this  weighted  average  allocation.  If the
Employer in its Adoption  Agreement elects to apply the daily valuation  method,
the Plan Administrator will allocate the net income, gain or loss on each day of
the Plan Year for which Plan assets are valued on an established  market and the
Trustee is conducting business. If the Employer in its Adoption Agreement elects
to apply the balance forward method,  the Plan  Administrator  first will adjust
the  Participant  Accounts,  as those  Accounts  stood at the  beginning  of the
current valuation  period, by reducing the Accounts for any forfeitures  arising
under the Plan, for amounts charged during the valuation  period to the Accounts
in  accordance  with  Section  9.10  (relating  to  distributions  and  to  loan
disbursement  payments) and Section 11.01 (relating to insurance premiums),  and
for  the  cash  value  of  incidental  benefit  insurance  contracts.  The  Plan
Administrator  then, subject to the restoration  allocation  requirements of the
Plan,  will  allocate  the net  income,  gain or loss pro  rata to the  adjusted
Participant  Accounts.  The allocable net income, gain or loss is the net income
(or net loss),  including  the  increase or decrease in the fair market value of
assets, since the last valuation date.

     (A) Trust Fund (Pooled) Investment Accounts. A pooled investment account is
an  Account  which  is not a  segregated  investment  Account  or an  individual
investment Account.

     (B)  Segregated   Investment  Accounts.  A  segregated  investment  Account
receives  all income it earns and bears all expense or loss it incurs.  Pursuant
to  the  Plan  Administrator's  direction,  the  Trustee  may  establish  for  a
Participant  a segregated  investment  Account to prevent a  distortion  of Plan
income,  gain or  loss  allocations  or for  such  other  purposes  as the  Plan
Administrator  may direct.  The Trustee  will invest the assets of a  segregated
investment Account consistent with such purposes. As of each valuation date, the
Plan  Administrator  must reduce a segregated Account for any forfeiture arising
under Section 5.09 after the Plan  Administrator has made all other allocations,
changes or adjustments to the Account for the valuation period.

     (C) Individual  (Directed)  Investment Accounts.  An individual  investment
Account  is  an  Account  which  is  subject  to   Participant   or  Beneficiary
self-direction under Section 8.06. An individual investment Account receives all
income it earns and bears all  expense or loss it incurs.  As of each  valuation
date,  the  Plan  Administrator  must  reduce  an  individual  Account  for  any
forfeiture  arising from Section 5.09 after the Plan  Administrator has made all
other  allocations,  changes or  adjustment  to the  Account  for the  valuation
period.

     (D) Code  ss.415  Excess  Amounts.  An Excess  Amount or  suspense  account
described  in Part 2 of  Article  III does not  share in the  allocation  of net
income, gain or loss described in this Section 9.08.

     (E) Interest Adjustment. Any distribution (other than a distribution from a
segregated or individual Account) made to a Participant or Beneficiary more than
90 days after the most recent  valuation date may include interest on the amount
of the  distribution  as an expense of the Trust  Fund.  The  interest,  if any,
accrues from such valuation date to the date of the distribution at the rate the
Employer specifies in its Adoption Agreement.

     (F)  Contributions  Prior  to  Accrual.  If the  Employer  in its  Adoption
Agreement elects to impose one or more allocation  conditions under Section 3.06
and the  Employer  contributes  to the  Plan  amounts  which  at the time of the
contribution   have   not   accrued   under   the   Plan   terms   ("pre-accrual
contributions"),  the Trustee  will hold the  pre-accrual  contributions  in the
Trust and will invest such  contributions  as the  Trustee  determines,  pending
accrual and  allocation to  Participant  Accounts.  When the Plan  Administrator
allocates to Participants  who have satisfied the Plan's  allocation  conditions
the  Employer's  pre-accrual  contributions,  the Plan  Administrator  also will
allocate  the net  income,  gain or loss  thereon  pro rata in  relation to each
Participant's share of the pre-accrual contribution.

     9.09 INDIVIDUAL STATEMENT. As soon as practicable after the Accounting Date
of each Plan Year, but within the time  prescribed by ERISA and the  regulations
under ERISA,  the Plan  Administrator  will deliver to each  Participant (and to
each  Beneficiary)  a statement  reflecting  the  condition  of his/her  Account
Balance in the Trust as of that date and such other  information  ERISA requires
be furnished the Participant or the Beneficiary. No Participant, except the Plan
Administrator,  has the right to inspect the records  reflecting  the Account of
any other Participant.

     9.10 ACCOUNT CHARGED.  The Plan  Administrator  will charge a Participant's
Account for all  distributions  made from that  Account to the  Participant,  to
his/her Beneficiary or to an alternate payee,  including a disbursement  payment
for a Participant loan. The Plan Administrator, except as prohibited by the Code
or  ERISA,  also  will  charge  a  Participant's   Account  for  any  reasonable
administrative expenses incurred by the Plan directly related to that Account.

     9.11 LOST  PARTICIPANTS.  If the Plan Administrator is unable to locate any
Participant or Beneficiary whose Account becomes  distributable under Article VI
or under Section 13.06 (a "lost Participant"), the Plan Administrator will apply
the provisions of this Section 9.11.

     (A) Attempt to Locate.  The Plan  Administrator will use one or more of the
following  methods  to  attempt  to  locate a lost  Participant:  (1)  provide a
distribution  notice to the lost  Participant  at his/her last known  address by
certified or registered mail; (2) use of the IRS letter forwarding program under
Rev. Proc. 94-22; (3) use of a commercial locator service, the internet or other
general search method; or (4) use of the Social Security  Administration  search
program.

     (B) Failure to Locate. If a lost Participant remains unlocated for 6 months
following the date of the Plan  Administrator  first attempts to locate the lost
Participant using one or more of the methods  described in Section 9.11(A),  the
Plan  Administrator  may forfeit  the lost  Participant's  Account.  If the Plan
Administrator will forfeit the lost Participant's Account, the forfeiture occurs
at the end of the above-described 6 month period and the Plan Administrator will
allocate the forfeiture in accordance  with Section 3.05. If a lost  Participant
whose Account was forfeited  thereafter at any time but before the Plan has been
terminated makes a claim for his/her forfeited  Account,  the Plan Administrator
will  restore  the  forfeited  Account to the same  dollar  amount as the amount
forfeited,  unadjusted for net income,  gains or losses occurring  subsequent to
the  forfeiture.  The Plan  Administrator  will make the restoration in the Plan
Year in which the lost Participant  makes the claim,  first from the amount,  if
any, of Participant  forfeitures the Plan Administrator otherwise would allocate
for the Plan Year, then from the amount, if any, of Trust net income or gain for
the Plan  Year and last  from the  amount  or  additional  amount  the  Employer
contributes  to the  Plan  for  the  Plan  Year.  The  Plan  Administrator  will
distribute the restored  Account to the lost  Participant not later than 60 days
after the close of the Plan Year in which the Plan  Administrator  restores  the
forfeited  Account.  The Plan  Administrator  under this  Section  9.11(B)  will
forfeit  the  entire  Account  of  the  lost  Participant,   including  deferral
contributions and Participant contributions.

     (C)  Nonexclusivity  and  Uniformity.  The  provisions  of Section 9.11 are
intended  to  provide   permissible   but  not  exclusive  means  for  the  Plan
Administrator  to  administer  the  Accounts  of  lost  Participants.  The  Plan
Administrator   may  utilize  any  other   reasonable   method  to  locate  lost
Participants and to administer the Accounts of lost Participants,  including the
default  rollover  under  Section  6.10(C) and such other methods as the Revenue
Service or the U.S.  Department of Labor ("DOL") may in the future specify.  The
Plan  Administrator  will  apply  Section  9.11  in a  reasonable,  uniform  and
nondiscriminatory  manner, but may in determining a specific course of action as
to a particular  Account,  reasonably take into account differing  circumstances
such as the amount of a lost Participant's Account, the expense in attempting to
locate a lost Participant, the Plan Administrator's ability to establish and the
expense  of   establishing  a  rollover  IRA,  and  other   factors.   The  Plan
Administrator  may charge to the Account of a lost  Participant  the  reasonable
expenses incurred under this Section 9.11 and which are associated with the lost
Participant's Account.

     9.12  PLAN  CORRECTION.  The Plan  Administrator  in  conjunction  with the
Employer may undertake such correction of Plan errors as the Plan  Administrator
deems necessary,  including correction to preserve tax qualification of the Plan
under Code  ss.401(a)  or to correct a fiduciary  breach  under  ERISA.  Without
limiting the Plan Administrator's  authority under the prior sentence,  the Plan
Administrator,  as it determines to be reasonable and appropriate, may undertake
correction of Plan document,  operational,  demographic and employer eligibility
failures  under a  method  described  in the Plan or under  the  Employee  Plans
Compliance  Resolution  System ("EPCRS") or any successor  program to EPCRS. The
Plan Administrator,  as it determines to be reasonable and appropriate, also may
undertake or assist the  appropriate  fiduciary or plan official in  undertaking
correction  of a fiduciary  breach,  including  correction  under the  Voluntary
Fiduciary  Correction  Program  ("VFC") or any successor  program to VFC. If the
Plan  includes  a 401(k)  arrangement,  the Plan  Administrator  to  correct  an
operational  error may require the Trustee to distribute  from the Plan elective
deferrals  or vested  matching  contributions,  including  earnings,  where such
amounts  result from an  operational  error other than a failure of Code ss.415,
Code ss.402(g),  a failure of the ADP or ACP tests, or a failure of the multiple
use limitation.

     9.13 NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS. Except as required under ERISA, the Plan
Administrator has no responsibility or obligation under the Plan to Participants
or Beneficiaries for any act (unless the Plan  Administrator also serves in such
capacities) required of the Employer, the Trustee, the Custodian or of any other
service  provider to the Plan.  The Plan  Administrator  is not  responsible  to
collect any required  plan  contribution  or to  determine  the  correctness  or
deductibility  or  any  Employer   contribution.   The  Plan   Administrator  in
administering  the  Plan is  entitled  to,  but is not  required  to rely  upon,
information which a Participant,  Beneficiary, Trustee, Custodian, the Employer,
a  Plan  service  provider  or  representatives  thereof  provide  to  the  Plan
Administrator.

     9.14 NOTICE,  DESIGNATION,  ELECTION, CONSENT AND WAIVER. All notices under
the Plan and all Participant or Beneficiary designations, elections, consents or
waivers must be in writing and made in a form the Plan  Administrator  specifies
or otherwise approves.  To the extent permitted by Treasury regulations or other
applicable  guidance,  any Plan  notice,  election,  consent  or  waiver  may be
transmitted  electronically.  Any person  entitled to notice  under the Plan may
waive the notice or shorten the notice  period  except as otherwise  required by
the Code or ERISA.


                                    ARTICLE X
                    TRUSTEE AND CUSTODIAN, POWERS AND DUTIES

     10.01 ACCEPTANCE.  The Trustee accepts the Trust created under the Plan and
agrees to perform the obligations imposed. The Trustee must provide bond for the
faithful  performance  of its duties  under the Trust to the extent  required by
ERISA.

     10.02 RECEIPT OF CONTRIBUTIONS.  The Trustee is accountable to the Employer
for the Plan contributions  made by the Employer,  but the Trustee does not have
any duty to ensure that the contributions received comply with the provisions of
the Plan.  The  Trustee is not  obliged to collect  any  contributions  from the
Employer,  nor is the Trustee obliged to ensure that funds deposited with it are
deposited according to the provisions of the Plan.

     10.03 INVESTMENT POWERS.

     (A) Discretionary  Trustee  Designation.  If the Employer,  in its Adoption
Agreement,  designates  the Trustee to administer  the Trust as a  discretionary
Trustee,  then the Trustee has full  discretion and authority with regard to the
investment  of the Trust  Fund,  except  with  respect to a Plan asset under the
control or the  direction  of a properly  appointed  Investment  Manager or with
respect  to a  Plan  asset  properly  subject  to  Employer,  or to  Participant
direction of investment.  The Trustee must coordinate its investment policy with
Plan  financial  needs  as  communicated  to it by the Plan  Administrator.  The
Trustee is authorized  and  empowered,  but not by way of  limitation,  with the
following powers, rights and duties:

     (a) To invest consistent with and subject to applicable law any part or all
of the Trust Fund in any common or  preferred  stocks,  open-end  or  closed-end
mutual funds  (including  proprietary  funds),  put and call options traded on a
national  exchange,  United  States  retirement  plan  bonds,  corporate  bonds,
debentures,  convertible debentures, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury bills, U.S.
Treasury  notes and other direct or indirect  obligations  of the United  States
Government or its agencies,  improved or unimproved  real estate situated in the
United States, limited partnerships, insurance contracts of any type, mortgages,
notes or other property of any kind, real or personal, to buy or sell options on
common stock on a nationally  recognized  exchange  with or without  holding the
underlying  common stock, to open and to maintain margin accounts,  to engage in
short sales, to buy and sell  commodities,  commodity  options and contracts for
the  future  delivery  of  commodities,  and to make any other  investments  the
Trustee deems appropriate, as a prudent person would do under like circumstances
with due regard for the purposes of this Plan. Any  investment  made or retained
by the  Trustee  in good faith is proper  but must be of a kind  constituting  a
diversification considered by law suitable for trust investments.

     (b) To retain in cash so much of the Trust Fund as it may deem advisable to
satisfy  liquidity  needs of the Plan and to deposit  any cash held in the Trust
Fund in a bank account at reasonable interest.

     (c) To invest,  if the Trustee is a bank or similar  financial  institution
supervised  by the  United  States or by a state,  in any type of deposit of the
Trustee  (or of a bank  related  to the  Trustee  within  the  meaning  of  Code
ss.414(b))  at a  reasonable  rate of  interest or in a common  trust  fund,  as
described in Code ss.584, or in a collective  investment fund, the provisions of
which govern the  investment of such assets and which the Plan  incorporates  by
this reference, which the Trustee (or its affiliate, as defined in Code ss.1504)
maintains  exclusively for the collective investment of money contributed by the
bank (or the  affiliate)  in its  capacity as trustee and which  conforms to the
rules of the Comptroller of the Currency.

     (d) To manage,  sell, contract to sell, grant options to purchase,  convey,
exchange,  transfer,  abandon,  improve, repair, insure, lease for any term even
though  commencing in the future or extending  beyond the term of the Trust, and
otherwise  deal with all property,  real or personal,  in such manner,  for such
considerations and on such terms and conditions as the Trustee decides.

     (e) To  credit  and  distribute  the  Trust  Fund as  directed  by the Plan
Administrator.  The Trustee is not obliged to inquire as to whether any payee or
distributee is entitled to any payment or whether the  distribution is proper or
within  the terms of the Plan,  or as to the  manner of making  any  payment  or
distribution.  The Trustee is accountable only to the Plan Administrator for any
payment or  distribution  made by it in good faith on the order or  direction of
the Plan Administrator.

     (f) To borrow money, to assume indebtedness,  extend mortgages and encumber
by mortgage or pledge.

     (g) To compromise, contest, arbitrate or abandon claims and demands, in the
Trustee's discretion.

     (h) To have with  respect to the Trust all of the  rights of an  individual
owner, including the power to exercise any and all voting rights associated with
Trust assets,  to give proxies,  to participate  in any voting trusts,  mergers,
consolidations  or liquidations,  to tender shares and to exercise or sell stock
subscriptions or conversion rights.

     (i) To lease for oil, gas and other mineral  purposes and to create mineral
severances by grant or reservation; to pool or unitize interests in oil, gas and
other minerals;  and to enter into operating  agreements and to execute division
and transfer orders.

     (j) To hold any  securities or other property in the name of the Trustee or
its nominee,  with  depositories or agent  depositories or in another form as it
may deem best, with or without disclosing the trust relationship.

     (k) To  perform  any  and  all  other  acts in its  judgment  necessary  or
appropriate  for  the  proper  and  advantageous   management,   investment  and
distribution of the Trust.

     (l) To  retain  any  funds  or  property  subject  to any  dispute  without
liability  for the  payment  of  interest,  and to  decline  to make  payment or
delivery of the funds or property until a court of competent  jurisdiction makes
final adjudication.

     (m) To file all information and tax returns required of the Trustee.

     (n) To  furnish to the  Employer  and to the Plan  Administrator  an annual
statement  of  account   showing  the  condition  of  the  Trust  Fund  and  all
investments,  receipts,  disbursements  and other  transactions  effected by the
Trustee  during the Plan Year  covered by the  statement  and also  stating  the
assets  of the  Trust  held at the end of the  Plan  Year,  which  accounts  are
conclusive on all persons,  including  the Employer and the Plan  Administrator,
except as to any act or  transaction  concerning  which the Employer of the Plan
Administrator  files with the Trustee written exceptions or objections within 90
days after the receipt of the  accounts or for which ERISA  authorizes  a longer
period within which to object.

     (o) To begin,  maintain or defend any  litigation  necessary in  connection
with the  administration  of the Plan,  except the  Trustee is not  obliged  nor
required to do so unless indemnified to its satisfaction.

     (B) Nondiscretionary Trustee  Designation/Appointment  of Custodian. If the
Employer,  in its Adoption  Agreement,  designates the Trustee to administer the
Trust  as a  nondiscretionary  Trustee,  then  the  Trustee  will  not  have any
discretion or authority  with regard to the  investment  of the Trust Fund,  but
must  act  solely  as a  directed  trustee  of the  funds  contributed  to it. A
nondiscretionary  Trustee, as directed trustee of the funds held by it under the
Plan, is authorized  and  empowered,  by way of  limitation,  with the following
powers, rights and duties, each of which the nondiscretionary  Trustee exercises
solely as directed trustee in accordance with the written direction of the Named
Fiduciary  (except to the extent a Plan asset is subject to the  control and the
management of a properly appointed  Investment Manager or subject to Employer or
Participant direction of investment):

     (a) To invest any part or all of the Trust Fund in any common or  preferred
stocks,  open-end or closed-end mutual funds (including  proprietary funds), put
and call options traded on a national  exchange,  United States  retirement plan
bonds, corporate bonds,  debentures,  convertible debentures,  commercial paper,
U.S.   Treasury  bills,  U.S.  Treasury  notes  and  other  direct  or  indirect
obligations  of the  United  States  Government  or its  agencies,  improved  or
unimproved  real estate  situated in the United  States,  limited  partnerships,
insurance contracts of any type, mortgages, notes or other property of any kind,
real or  personal,  to buy or sell  options  on  common  stock  on a  nationally
recognized options exchange with or without holding the underlying common stock,
to open and to maintain  margin  accounts,  to engage in short sales, to buy and
sell  commodities,  commodity  options and contracts for the future  delivery of
commodities,  and to make  any  other  investments  the  Named  Fiduciary  deems
appropriate.

     (b) To retain in cash so much of the Trust Fund as the Named  Fiduciary may
direct in writing to satisfy liquidity needs of the Plan and to deposit any cash
held in the Trust Fund in a bank account at reasonable interest.

     (c) To invest,  if the Trustee is a bank or similar  financial  institution
supervised  by the  United  States or by a State,  in any type of deposit of the
Trustee  (or of a bank  related  to the  Trustee  within  the  meaning  of  Code
ss.414(b))  at a  reasonable  rate of  interest or in a common  trust  fund,  as
described in Code ss.584, or in a collective  investment fund, the provisions of
which govern the  investment of such assets and which the Plan  incorporates  by
this reference, which the Trustee (or its affiliate, as defined in Code ss.1504)
maintains  exclusively for the collective investment of money contributed by the
bank (or the  affiliate)  in its  capacity as trustee and which  conforms to the
rules of the Comptroller of the Currency.

     (d) To sell, contract to sell, grant options to purchase, convey, exchange,
transfer,  abandon,  improve,  repair,  insure,  lease for any term even  though
commencing  in the  future  or  extending  beyond  the  term of the  Trust,  and
otherwise  deal with all property,  real or personal,  in such manner,  for such
considerations  and on such terms and conditions as the Named Fiduciary  directs
in writing.

     (e) To  credit  and  distribute  the  Trust  Fund as  directed  by the Plan
Administrator.  The Trustee is not obliged to inquire as to whether any payee or
distributee is entitled to any payment or whether the  distribution is proper or
within  the terms of the Plan,  or as to the  manner of making  any  payment  or
distribution.  The Trustee is accountable only to the Plan Administrator for any
payment or  distribution  made by it in good faith on the order or the direction
of the Plan Administrator.

     (f) To borrow money, to assume indebtedness,  extend mortgages and encumber
by mortgage or pledge in  accordance  with and at the written  direction  of the
Named Fiduciary.

     (g) To have with  respect to the Trust all of the  rights of an  individual
owner, including the power to exercise any and all voting rights associated with
Trust assets,  to give proxies,  to participate  in any voting trusts,  mergers,
consolidations  or liquidations,  to tender shares and to exercise or sell stock
subscriptions or conversion rights,  provided the exercise of any such powers is
in accordance with and at the written direction of the Named Fiduciary.

     (h) To lease for oil, gas and other mineral  purposes and to create mineral
severances by grant or reservation; to pool or unitize interests in oil, gas and
other minerals;  and to enter into operating  agreements and to execute division
and transfer  orders,  provided the exercise of any such powers is in accordance
with and at the written direction of the Named Fiduciary.

     (i)  To  hold  any  securities  or  other  property  in  the  name  of  the
nondiscretionary Trustee or its nominee, with depositories or agent depositories
or in another form as the Named Fiduciary may direct in writing, with or without
disclosing the custodial relationship.

     (j) To  retain  any  funds  or  property  subject  to any  dispute  without
liability  for the  payment  of  interest,  and to  decline  to make  payment or
delivery of the funds or property until a court of competent  jurisdiction makes
final adjudication.

     (k) To file all information and tax returns required of the Trustee.

     (l)  To  furnish  to  the  Named  Fiduciary,  the  Employer  and  the  Plan
Administrator  an annual statement of account showing the condition of the Trust
Fund  and  all  investments,  receipts,  disbursements  and  other  transactions
effected by the  nondiscretionary  Trustee  during the Plan Year  covered by the
statement  and also  stating the assets of the Trust held at the end of the Plan
Year,  which  accounts  are  conclusive  on all  persons,  including  the  Named
Fiduciary,  the  Employer  and the Plan  Administrator,  except as to any act or
transaction  concerning  which the Named  Fiduciary,  the  Employer  or the Plan
Administrator  files with the  nondiscretionary  Trustee  written  exceptions or
objections  within 90 days after the receipt of the  accounts or for which ERISA
authorizes a longer period within which to object.

     (m) To begin,  maintain or defend any  litigation  necessary in  connection
with the  administration  of the Plan,  except the  Trustee is not  obliged  nor
required to do so unless indemnified to its satisfaction.

     Appointment  of Custodian.  The Employer may appoint a Custodian  under the
Plan,  the  acceptance by the Custodian  indicated on the execution  page of the
Adoption Agreement.  If the Employer appoints a Custodian,  the Plan must have a
discretionary  Trustee,  as described in Section  10.03(A).  A Custodian has the
same powers,  rights and duties as a nondiscretionary  Trustee,  as described in
this Section 10.03(B).  The Custodian accepts the terms of the Plan and Trust by
executing the Adoption Agreement. Any reference in the Plan to a Trustee also is
a reference to a Custodian where the context of the Plan dictates.  A limitation
of the Trustee's  liability by Plan  provision  also acts as a limitation of the
Custodian's  liability.  Any action taken by the Custodian at the  discretionary
Trustee's  direction  satisfies  any  provision  in the  Plan  referring  to the
Trustee's taking that action.

     Modification  of  Powers/Limited  Responsibility.   The  Employer  and  the
nondiscretionary Trustee (or the Custodian), in writing, may limit the powers of
the  Custodian  or the  nondiscretionary  Trustee to any  combination  of powers
listed   within  this   Section   10.03(B).   If  there  is  a  Custodian  or  a
nondiscretionary  Trustee under the Plan,  then the  Employer,  in adopting this
Plan  acknowledges the Custodian or the  nondiscretionary  Trustee does not have
any discretion with respect to the investment or the  re-investment of the Trust
Fund and the  Custodian or the  nondiscretionary  Trustee is acting  solely as a
custodian or as a directed  trustee with  respect to the assets  comprising  the
Trust Fund.

     (C)  Limitation of Powers of Certain  Custodians.  If a Custodian is a bank
which,  under its  governing  state law,  does not possess  trust  powers,  then
Paragraphs (a), (c) as it relates to common trust funds or collective investment
funds, (d), (f), (g) and (h) of Section  10.03(B),  Section 10.17 and Article XI
do not apply to that bank and that bank only has the power and the  authority to
exercise the remaining powers, rights and duties under Section 10.03(B).

     (D) Named  Fiduciary/Limitation of Liability of Nondiscretionary Trustee or
Custodian.  The Named Fiduciary under the Plan has the sole  responsibility  for
the management and the control of the Trust Fund,  except with respect to a Plan
asset  under the control or the  direction  of a properly  appointed  Investment
Manager or with  respect  to a Plan asset  properly  subject to  Participant  or
Employer  direction  of  investment.  If the Employer  appoints a  discretionary
Trustee,  the Named  Fiduciary  is the  discretionary  Trustee.  If the Employer
appoints a Custodian,  the Named Fiduciary is the discretionary Trustee. Under a
nondiscretionary Trustee designation,  unless the Employer designates in writing
another person or persons to serve as Named Fiduciary, the Named Fiduciary under
the Plan is the  president of a corporate  Employer,  the managing  partner of a
partnership  Employer,  the  managing  member  of a  limited  liability  company
Employer  or the sole  proprietor,  as  appropriate.  The Named  Fiduciary  will
exercise  its  management  and  control of the Trust Fund  through  its  written
direction to the nondiscretionary Trustee or to the Custodian, whichever applies
to the Plan.

     The  nondiscretionary  Trustee or the  Custodian  does not have any duty to
review or to make  recommendations  regarding  investments  made at the  written
direction of the Named Fiduciary.  The nondiscretionary Trustee or the Custodian
must  retain any  investment  obtained  at the  written  direction  of the Named
Fiduciary until further directed in writing by the Named Fiduciary to dispose of
such investment.  The nondiscretionary Trustee or the Custodian is not liable in
any  manner  or for  any  reason  for  making,  retaining  or  disposing  of any
investment  pursuant  to any  written  direction  of the  Named  Fiduciary.  The
Employer will  indemnify,  defend and hold the  nondiscretionary  Trustee or the
Custodian  harmless from any damages,  costs or expenses,  including  reasonable
attorneys' fees, which the  nondiscretionary  Trustee or the Custodian may incur
as a result of any claim  asserted  against the  nondiscretionary  Trustee,  the
Custodian  or  the  Trust  arising  out  of the  nondiscretionary  Trustee's  or
Custodian's full and timely  compliance with any written  direction of the Named
Fiduciary.

     (E) Participant  Loans. This Section 10.03(E)  specifically  authorizes the
Trustee  to make loans on a  nondiscriminatory  basis to a  Participant  or to a
Beneficiary  in  accordance  with  the  loan  policy  established  by  the  Plan
Administrator,  provided:  (1) the loan policy  satisfies  the  requirements  of
Section 9.04; (2) loans are available to all Participants and Beneficiaries on a
reasonably equivalent basis and are not available in a greater amount for Highly
Compensated Employees than for Nonhighly Compensated Employees;  (3) any loan is
adequately  secured  and  bears a  reasonable  rate of  interest;  (4) the  loan
provides for repayment  within a specified  time  (however,  the loan policy may
suspend loan payments  pursuant to Code  ss.414(u)(4) or otherwise in accordance
with applicable  Treasury  Regulations);  (5) the default provisions of the note
permit offset of the Participant's  Vested Account Balance only at the time when
the Participant has a distributable  event under the Plan, but without regard to
whether the  Participant  consents to  distribution as otherwise may be required
under  Section  6.01(A)(5);  (6) the  amount of the loan does not exceed (at the
time the Plan extends the loan) the present  value of the  Participant's  Vested
Account Balance;  and (7) the loan otherwise  conforms to the exemption provided
by Code ss.4975(d)(1).  The loan policy may provide a Participant's loan default
is a distributable  event with respect to the defaulted amount,  irrespective of
whether the Participant otherwise has incurred a distributable event at the time
of default,  except as to amounts which the  Participant  used to secure his/her
loan which remain subject to  distribution  restrictions  under Section 14.11 or
are money purchase pension plan or target benefit plan balances which may not be
distributed  in-service  at the  time of  default.  If the  joint  and  survivor
requirements  of Article VI apply to the  Participant,  the  Participant may not
pledge any portion of his/her  Account  Balance as security  for a loan  unless,
within the 90 day period ending on the date the pledge  becomes  effective,  the
Participant's  spouse,  if any,  consents (in a manner described in Section 6.05
other than the  requirement  relating to the consent of a subsequent  spouse) to
the security or, by separate consent, to an increase in the amount of security.

     A Participant who is an  Owner-Employee  (including other persons described
in Code ss.4975(f)(6)),  or who is a Shareholder-Employee may not receive a loan
from the Plan,  unless  he/she has obtained a prohibited  transaction  exemption
from the DOL.

     (F) Investment in Qualifying  Employer  Securities and Qualifying  Employer
Real Property.  The Trustee (or as applicable,  Investment Manager,  Employer or
Participant)  may invest in  qualifying  Employer  securities  or in  qualifying
Employer real property, as defined in and as limited by ERISA. If the Employer's
Plan is a profit sharing plan, the aggregate  investments in qualifying Employer
securities and in qualifying  Employer real property may exceed 10% of the value
of Plan assets, unless the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement to restrict
such  investments to 10% (or to some other  percentage which is less than 100%).
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  except where permitted under ERISA ss.407(b)(2),
if  the  Plan  includes  a  401(k)   arrangement,   a   participant's   Deferral
Contributions  Account  accumulated in Plan Years  beginning  after December 31,
1998,  including  earnings  thereon,  may  not  be  invested  more  than  10% in
qualifying  employer  securities and qualifying  employer real property,  unless
such   investments  are  directed  by  the  Participant  or  the   Participant's
Beneficiary.

     (G)  Modifications  to or  Substitution  of  Trust.  The  Employer  in  its
Standardized Adoption Agreement may not amend any provision of Article X (or any
other  provision of the Plan  related to the Trust)  except to specify the Trust
year, the names of the Plan, the Employer, the Trustee, the Custodian,  the Plan
Administrator,  other  fiduciaries  or the name of any pooled trust in which the
Trust will participate.  The Employer in its Nonstandardized Adoption Agreement,
in  addition  to  the   foregoing   amendments,   may  amend  or  override   the
administrative  provisions  of  Article  X (or any other  provision  of the Plan
related to the Trust),  including  provisions  relating to Trust  investment and
Trustee  duties.  Any  such  amendment:  (1) must not  conflict  with any  other
provisions of the Plan (except as expressly are intended to override an existing
Trust provision); (2) must not cause the Plan to violate Code ss.401(a); and (3)
must be made in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2000-20 or any successor thereto. The
Employer using either a Standardized or  Nonstandardized  Adoption  Agreement to
establish its Plan,  subject to the conditions (1), (2) and (3) described above,
may elect to substitute in place of Article X and the remaining trust provisions
of the basic plan document, any other trust or custodial account agreement.  All
Section 10.03(G) Trust  modifications  or  substitutions  are subject to Section
13.02 and require the written consent or signature of the Trustee.

     (H)  Cofiduciary  Liability.  Each fiduciary  under the Plan is responsible
solely for his/her or its own acts or omissions.  A fiduciary  does not have any
liability  for  another  fiduciary's  breach of  fiduciary  responsibility  with
respect  to the  Plan and the  Trust  unless  the  fiduciary:  (1)  participates
knowingly in or  undertakes to conceal the breach;  (2) has actual  knowledge of
the breach and fails to take reasonable remedial action to remedy the breach; or
(3) through  negligence  in  performing  his/her or its own  specific  fiduciary
responsibilities  that give rise to fiduciary status,  the fiduciary has enabled
the other fiduciary to commit a breach of the latter's fiduciary responsibility.

     10.04 RECORDS AND STATEMENTS.  The records of the Trustee pertaining to the
Plan must be open to the inspection of the Plan  Administrator  and the Employer
at all  reasonable  times and may be audited  from time to time by any person or
persons as the  Employer  or Plan  Administrator  may  specify in  writing.  The
Trustee must furnish the Plan Administrator with whatever  information  relating
to the Trust Fund the Plan  Administrator  considers  necessary  to perform  its
duties as Plan Administrator.

     10.05 FEES AND EXPENSES  FROM FUND.  A Trustee or a Custodian  will receive
reasonable  compensation  as may be agreed  upon from time to time  between  the
Employer and the Trustee or the  Custodian.  No person who is receiving full pay
from the Employer may receive  compensation  (except for  reimbursement  of Plan
expenses) for services as Trustee or as Custodian. The Trustee will pay from the
Trust Fund all fees and reasonable  expenses incurred by the Plan, to the extent
such fees and expenses are for the ordinary  and  necessary  administration  and
operation of the Plan and are not "settlor  expenses" as  determined  by the DOL
unless  the  Employer  pays such fees and  expenses.  Any fee or  expense  paid,
directly or indirectly,  by the Employer is not an Employer  contribution to the
Plan,  provided the fee or the expense  relates to the  ordinary  and  necessary
administration of the Trust Fund.

     10.06  PARTIES TO  LITIGATION.  Except as  otherwise  provided by ERISA,  a
Participant  or a  Beneficiary  is not a necessary  party or required to receive
notice of process in any court proceeding  involving the Plan, the Trust Fund or
any fiduciary of the Plan.  Any final  judgment  entered in any such  proceeding
will be  binding  upon  the  Employer,  the  Plan  Administrator,  the  Trustee,
Custodian, Participants and Beneficiaries and upon their successors and assigns.

     10.07  PROFESSIONAL  AGENTS.  The Trustee may employ and pay from the Trust
Fund reasonable compensation to agents, attorneys, accountants and other persons
to advise the Trustee as in its opinion may be necessary. The Trustee reasonably
may delegate to any agent,  attorney,  accountant or other person selected by it
any  non-Trustee  power or duty  vested in it by the Plan,  and the  Trustee may
reasonably  act or  refrain  from  acting on the advice or opinion of any agent,
attorney, accountant or other person so selected.

     10.08  DISTRIBUTION  OF  CASH OR  PROPERTY.  The  Trustee  will  make  Plan
distributions  in the  form of cash  except  where:  (1)  the  required  form of
distribution  is a QJSA or QPSA  which  has not been  waived;  (2) the Plan is a
restated  Plan and under the prior  Plan,  distribution  in the form of property
("in-kind  distribution")  is a  Protected  Benefit  (3) the Plan  Administrator
adopts a written  policy  which  provides for in-kind  distribution;  or (4) the
Employer is terminating the Plan, and in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee,
some or all Plan  assets  may not  within a  reasonable  time for  making  final
distribution  of Plan assets,  be liquidated to cash or may not be so liquidated
without undue loss in value.  The Plan  Administrator's  policy under clause (3)
may restrict  in-kind  distributions  to certain types of Trust  investments  or
specify any other  reasonable  and  nondiscriminatory  condition or  restriction
applicable  to in-kind  distributions.  Under  clause (4), the Trustee will make
Plan  termination  distributions  to  Participants  and  Beneficiaries  in cash,
in-kind  or  in  a   combination   of  these   forms,   in  a   reasonable   and
nondiscriminatory  manner  which may take into  account the  preferences  of the
distributees.  All in-kind  distributions will be made based on the current fair
market value of the property, as determined by the Trustee.

     10.09 PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY  INCAPACITATED.  If, in the opinion of the
Plan Administrator or of the Trustee, a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to a
Plan  distribution  is not able to care for his/her  affairs because of a mental
condition,  a physical  condition,  or by reason of age, at the direction of the
Plan Administrator the Trustee may make the distribution to the Participant's or
Beneficiary's  guardian,  conservator,  trustee,  custodian  (including  under a
Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Act) or to his/her  attorney-in-fact  or to
other legal  representative upon furnishing evidence of such status satisfactory
to the Plan  Administrator  and to the Trustee.  The Plan  Administrator and the
Trustee do not have any  liability  with respect to payments so made and neither
the Plan  Administrator  nor the Trustee has any duty to make  inquiry as to the
competence of any person entitled to receive payments under the Plan.

     10.10  DISTRIBUTION  DIRECTIONS.  The Trustee must promptly notify the Plan
Administrator  of any  unclaimed  Plan  distribution  and  then  dispose  of the
distribution in accordance with the Plan Administrator's subsequent direction.

     10.11  THIRD  PARTY  RELIANCE.  A person  dealing  with the  Trustee is not
obligated  to see to the  proper  application  of any  money  paid  or  property
delivered to the Trustee,  or to inquire  whether the Trustee has acted pursuant
to any of the terms of the Plan.  Each person  dealing  with the Trustee may act
upon any notice,  request or representation in writing by the Trustee, or by the
Trustee's duly authorized  agent,  and is not liable to any person in so acting.
The  certificate of the Trustee that it is acting in accordance with the Plan is
conclusive in favor of any person relying on the certificate.

     10.12  MULTIPLE  TRUSTEES.  If more  than two  persons  act as  Trustee,  a
decision of the majority of such persons  controls  with respect to any decision
regarding  the  administration  or the  investment  of the Trust  Fund or of any
portion of the Trust Fund with respect to which such persons act as Trustee.  If
there is more than one Trustee, the Trustees jointly will manage and control the
assets of the Trust Fund.  However,  the Trustees may allocate among  themselves
specific  responsibilities  or obligations or may authorize one or more of them,
either  individually or in concert, to exercise any or all of the powers granted
to the Trustee under  Article X. In addition,  the signature of only one Trustee
is necessary to effect any transaction on behalf of the Trust.

     10.13 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL.  The Trustee or the Custodian may resign its
position by giving written notice to the Employer and to the Plan Administrator.
The  Trustee's   notice  must  specify  the  effective  date  of  the  Trustee's
resignation,  which  date  must be at  least 30 days  following  the date of the
Trustee's notice, unless the Employer consents in writing to shorter notice.

     The Employer may remove a Trustee or a Custodian by giving  written  notice
to the effected party. The Employer's  notice must specify the effective date of
removal which date must be at least 30 days following the date of the Employer's
notice,  except where the Employer reasonably determines a shorter notice period
or immediate removal is necessary to protect Plan assets.

     In the event of the resignation or the removal of a Trustee, where no other
Trustee  continues to service,  the Employer must appoint a successor Trustee if
it intends to continue  the Plan.  If two or more  persons  hold the position of
Trustee,  in the event of the removal of one such person,  during any period the
selection  of a  replacement  is  pending,  or during any period  such person is
unable to serve for any reason,  the remaining person or persons will act as the
Trustee.  If the  Employer  fails  to  appoint  a  successor  Trustee  as of the
effective  date of the  Trustee  resignation  or  removal  and no other  Trustee
remains,  the  Trustee  will treat the  Employer as having  appointed  itself as
Trustee  and as  having  filed  the  Employer's  acceptance  of  appointment  as
successor  Trustee with the former Trustee.  If state law prohibits the Employer
from  serving as  successor  Trustee,  the  appointed  successor  Trustee is the
president  of a  corporate  Employer,  the  managing  partner  of a  partnership
Employer,  the managing member of a limited  liability  company  Employer or the
sole proprietor, as appropriate.  If the Employer removes and does not replace a
Custodian,  the discretionary Trustee will assume possession of Plan assets held
by the former Custodian.

     10.14 SUCCESSOR  TRUSTEE  ACCEPTANCE.  Each successor  Trustee succeeds its
predecessor Trustee by accepting in writing its appointment as successor Trustee
and by filing the acceptance with the former Trustee and the Plan  Administrator
without the signing or filing of any further statement. The resigning or removed
Trustee,  upon receipt of  acceptance  in writing of the Trust by the  successor
Trustee,  must execute all documents and do all acts necessary to vest the title
of record in any successor Trustee. Each successor Trustee has and enjoys all of
the powers,  both  discretionary and ministerial,  conferred under the Plan upon
its  predecessor.  A successor  Trustee is not personally  liable for any act or
failure to act of any predecessor Trustee,  except as required under ERISA. With
the approval of the Employer and the Plan  Administrator,  a successor  Trustee,
with  respect to the Plan,  may accept the  account  rendered  and the  property
delivered to it by a predecessor Trustee without liability.

     10.15 VALUATION OF TRUST.  The Trustee must value the Trust Fund as of each
Accounting Date to determine the fair market value of each Participant's Account
Balance in the Trust.  The Trustee  also must value the Trust Fund on such other
valuation  dates as  directed  in  writing by the Plan  Administrator  or as the
Adoption Agreement may require.

     10.16 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY - IF INVESTMENT MANAGER, ANCILLARY TRUSTEE OR
INDEPENDENT  FIDUCIARY  APPOINTED.  The  Trustee  is not  liable for the acts or
omissions of any Investment Manager the Plan  Administrator may appoint,  nor is
the Trustee  under any  obligation to invest or otherwise to manage any asset of
the Trust  Fund  which is subject  to the  management  of a  properly  appointed
Investment  Manager.  The  Plan  Administrator,  the  Trustee  and any  properly
appointed  Investment  Manager may execute a written agreement as a part of this
Plan delineating the duties,  responsibilities and liabilities of the Investment
Manager  with  respect to any part of the Trust  Fund  under the  control of the
Investment Manager.

     The limitation on liability described in this Section 10.16 also applies to
the acts or omissions of any ancillary trustee or independent fiduciary properly
appointed under Section 10.18. However, if a discretionary Trustee,  pursuant to
the delegation  described in Section 10.18,  appoints an ancillary trustee,  the
discretionary  Trustee is responsible  for the periodic  review of the ancillary
trustee's  actions and must exercise its delegated  authority in accordance with
the terms of the Plan and in a manner  consistent with ERISA. The Employer,  the
discretionary  Trustee and an ancillary  trustee may execute a written agreement
as a part of this  Plan  delineating  any  indemnification  agreement  among the
parties.

     10.17 INVESTMENT IN GROUP TRUST FUND. The Employer,  by adopting this Plan,
specifically  authorizes  the Trustee to invest all or any portion of the assets
comprising  the Trust  Fund in any  group  trust  fund  which at the time of the
investment  provides for the pooling of the assets of plans qualified under Code
ss.401(a).  This authorization  applies solely to a group trust fund exempt from
taxation  under Code  ss.501(a) and the trust  agreement of which  satisfies the
requirements of Revenue Ruling 81-100, or any successor thereto.  The provisions
of the group trust fund  agreement,  as amended  from time to time,  are by this
reference  incorporated  within this Plan and Trust. The provisions of the group
trust fund will govern any  investment of Plan assets in that fund. The Employer
must specify in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement the group trust fund(s) to
which this authorization applies. If the Trustee is acting as a nondiscretionary
Trustee,  the investment in the group trust fund is available only in accordance
with a proper  direction,  by the Named  Fiduciary,  in accordance  with Section
10.03(B).  Pursuant  to  Paragraph  (c) of Section  10.03(A),  a Trustee has the
authority  to invest in certain  common  trust funds and  collective  investment
funds without the need for the  authorizing  Addendum  described in this Section
10.17.

     Furthermore,  at the  Employer's  direction,  the Trustee,  for  collective
investment  purposes,  may combine into one trust fund the Trust  created  under
this Plan with the trust created under any other  qualified  retirement plan the
Employer  maintains.  However,  the Trustee must  maintain  separate  records of
account  for the  assets  of each  Trust  in  order  to  reflect  properly  each
Participant's  Account  Balance under the  qualified  plans in which he/she is a
participant.

     10.18  APPOINTMENT  OF  ANCILLARY  TRUSTEE OR  INDEPENDENT  FIDUCIARY.  The
Employer,  in writing,  may appoint any qualified  person in any state to act as
ancillary  trustee  with  respect to a  designated  portion  of the Trust  Fund,
subject to any consent  required  under Section 1.33. An ancillary  trustee must
acknowledge  in  writing  its  acceptance  of the  terms and  conditions  of its
appointment  as ancillary  trustee and its  fiduciary  status  under ERISA.  The
ancillary trustee has the rights,  powers, duties and discretion as the Employer
may  delegate,  subject  to  any  limitations  or  directions  specified  in the
agreement  appointing  the ancillary  trustee and to the terms of the Plan or of
ERISA. The investment  powers delegated to the ancillary trustee may include any
investment powers available under Section 10.03. The delegated investment powers
may include the right to invest any portion of the assets of the Trust Fund in a
common trust fund, as described in Code ss.584, or in any collective  investment
fund, the provisions of which govern the investment of such assets and which the
Plan incorporates by this reference, but only if the ancillary trustee is a bank
or similar financial  institution  supervised by the United States or by a state
and the  ancillary  trustee  (or its  affiliate,  as  defined  in Code  ss.1504)
maintains the common trust fund or collective  investment  fund  exclusively for
the collective  investment of money contributed by the ancillary trustee (or its
affiliate)  in a  trustee  capacity  and  which  conforms  to the  rules  of the
Comptroller  of the  Currency.  The  Employer  also may appoint as an  ancillary
trustee,  the trustee of any group trust fund designated for investment pursuant
to the provisions of Section 10.17.

     The  ancillary  trustee may resign its position and the Employer may remove
an ancillary  trustee as provided in Section  10.13  regarding  resignation  and
removal  of the  Trustee  or  Custodian.  In the  event of such  resignation  or
removal,  the Employer may appoint another  ancillary  trustee or may return the
assets to the control and  management of the Trustee.  The Employer may delegate
its responsibilities  under this Section 10.18 to a discretionary  Trustee under
the Plan, but not to a  nondiscretionary  Trustee or to a Custodian,  subject to
the acceptance by the discretionary Trustee of that delegation.

     If the DOL requires engagement of an independent  fiduciary to have control
or management  of all or a portion of the Trust Fund,  the Employer will appoint
such independent  fiduciary,  as directed by the DOL. The independent  fiduciary
will have the duties, responsibilities and powers prescribed by the DOL and will
exercise those duties, responsibilities and powers in accordance with the terms,
restrictions  and  conditions  established  by the DOL and,  to the  extent  not
inconsistent  with ERISA, the terms of the Plan. The independent  fiduciary must
accept its appointment in writing and must acknowledge its status as a fiduciary
of the Plan.


                                   ARTICLE XI
             PROVISIONS RELATING TO INSURANCE AND INSURANCE COMPANY

     11.01 INSURANCE BENEFIT.  The Employer may elect to provide incidental life
insurance  benefits for  insurable  Participants  who consent to life  insurance
benefits by executing the appropriate  insurance  company  application form. The
Trustee  will  not  purchase  any  incidental  life  insurance  benefit  for any
Participant prior to a contribution  allocation to the Participant's Account. At
an insured  Participant's  written  direction,  the Trustee  will use all or any
portion of the Participant's  Employee  contributions,  if any, to pay insurance
premiums  covering the  Participant's  life.  This Section 11.01 also authorizes
(except  if the Plan is a money  purchase  pension  plan) the  purchase  of life
insurance, for the benefit of the Participant, on the life of a family member of
the  Participant  or on any  person  in whom the  Participant  has an  insurable
interest.  However,  if the policy is on the joint lives of the  Participant and
another  person,  the Trustee may not  maintain  that policy if the other person
predeceases the Participant.

     The  Employer  will  direct the  Trustee as to the  insurance  company  and
insurance  agent  through  which  the  Trustee  is  to  purchase  the  insurance
contracts,  the amount of the coverage and the applicable  dividend  plan.  Each
application  for a policy,  and the  policies  themselves,  must  designate  the
Trustee as sole owner,  with the right  reserved to the Trustee to exercise  any
right or option  contained in the policies,  subject to the terms and provisions
of this Plan. The Trustee must be the named  beneficiary  for the Account of the
insured  Participant.  Proceeds of insurance contracts paid to the Participant's
Account under this Article XI are subject to the  distribution  requirements  of
Article VI. The Trustee will not retain any such proceeds for the benefit of the
Trust.

     The Trustee will charge the premiums on any  incidental  benefit  insurance
contract  covering  the  life  of a  Participant  against  the  Account  of that
Participant  and will treat the insurance  contract as a directed  investment of
the  Participant's  Account,  even if the  Plan  otherwise  does  not  permit  a
Participant  to direct the  investment of his/her own Account.  The Trustee will
hold all incidental benefit insurance  contracts issued under the Plan as assets
of the Trust created and maintained under the Plan.

     (A) Incidental insurance benefits. The aggregate of life insurance premiums
paid  for the  benefit  of a  Participant,  at all  times,  may not  exceed  the
following   percentages  of  the  aggregate  of  the  Employer's   contributions
(including   Deferral   Contributions   and   forfeitures)   allocated   to  any
Participant's  Account:  (i) 49% in the case of the  purchase of  ordinary  life
insurance  contracts;  or (ii)  25% in the  case of the  purchase  of term  life
insurance or universal  life  insurance  contracts.  If the Trustee  purchases a
combination  of ordinary life insurance  contract(s)  and term life insurance or
universal life insurance  contract(s),  then the sum of one-half of the premiums
paid for the ordinary life insurance  contract(s)  and the premiums paid for the
term life insurance or universal life insurance  contract(s)  may not exceed 25%
of the Employer contributions allocated to any Participant's Account.

     (B) Exception for certain  profit  sharing  plans.  If the Plan is a profit
sharing plan, the incidental  insurance  benefits  requirement does not apply to
the Plan if the Plan  purchases  life  insurance  benefits  only  from  Employer
contributions  accumulated in the  Participant's  Account for at least two years
(measured from the allocation date).

     (C)  Exception  for  other  amounts.   The  incidental  insurance  benefits
requirement   does  not  apply  to  life   insurance   purchased  with  Employee
contributions, rollover contributions, or earnings on Employer contributions.

     11.02  LIMITATION  ON LIFE  INSURANCE  PROTECTION.  The  Trustee  will  not
continue  any life  insurance  protection  for any  Participant  beyond  his/her
annuity starting date as defined in Section 6.01(A)(4). If the Trustee holds any
incidental  benefit insurance  contract(s) for the benefit of a Participant when
he/she  terminates  his/her  employment  (other  than by reason of  death),  the
Trustee must proceed as follows:

     (a)  If  the  entire  cash  value  of  the  contract(s)  is  Vested  in the
terminating  Participant,  or if the contract(s) will not have any cash value at
the end of the policy year in which Separation from Service occurs,  the Trustee
will transfer the contract(s) to the  Participant  endorsed so as to vest in the
transferee all right,  title and interest to the contract(s),  free and clear of
the Trust;  subject  however,  to  restrictions  as to  surrender  or payment of
benefits  as  the  issuing   insurance  company  may  permit  and  as  the  Plan
Administrator directs;

     (b) If only  part of the cash  value of the  contract(s)  is  Vested in the
terminating  Participant,  the Trustee, to the extent the Participant's interest
in the cash value of the contract(s) is not Vested, may adjust the Participant's
interest in the value of his/her Account attributable to Trust assets other than
incidental  benefit  insurance  contracts  and proceed as in (a), or the Trustee
must effect a loan from the issuing  insurance  company on the sole  security of
the contract(s) for an amount equal to the difference  between the cash value of
the contract(s) at the end of the policy year in which termination of employment
occurs  and the  amount of the cash  value  that is  Vested  in the  terminating
Participant,  and the Trustee must  transfer the  contract(s)  endorsed so as to
vest in the transferee all right,  title and interest to the  contract(s),  free
and clear of the Trust;  subject however, to the restrictions as to surrender or
payment of  benefits as the  issuing  insurance  company may permit and the Plan
Administrator directs;

     (c) If no part of the  cash  value  of the  contract(s)  is  Vested  in the
terminating  Participant,  the Trustee must surrender the  contract(s)  for cash
proceeds as may be available.

     In accordance  with the written  direction of the Plan  Administrator,  the
Trustee will make any transfer of  contract(s)  under this Section  11.02 on the
Participant's annuity starting date (or as soon as administratively  practicable
after that date).  The Trustee may not transfer any contract  under this Section
11.02 which contains a method of payment not specifically  authorized by Article
VI or which fails to comply with the joint and survivor annuity requirements, if
applicable,  of Article VI. In this regard, the Trustee either must convert such
a contract to cash and  distribute  the cash instead of the contract,  or before
making the transfer, must require the issuing company to delete the unauthorized
method of payment option from the contract.

     11.03 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article XI:

     (a) "Policy" means an ordinary life,  term life or universal life insurance
contract issued by an insurer on the life of a Participant.

     (b) "Issuing  insurance  company" is any life  insurance  company which has
issued a policy upon application by the Trustee under the terms of this Plan.

     (c) "Contract" or "Contracts" means a policy of insurance.  In the event of
any conflict  between the  provisions of this Plan and the terms of any contract
or policy of insurance issued in accordance with this Article XI, the provisions
of the Plan control.

     (d)  "Insurable  Participant"  means a  Participant  to  whom an  insurance
company,  upon an application  being submitted in accordance with the Plan, will
issue  insurance  coverage,  either as a standard  risk or as a risk in an extra
mortality classification.

     11.04 DIVIDEND PLAN. The dividend plan is premium reduction unless the Plan
Administrator  directs the  Trustee to the  contrary.  The Trustee  must use all
dividends for a contract to purchase insurance benefits or additional  insurance
benefits for the Participant on whose life the insurance  company has issued the
contract.  Furthermore,  the  Trustee  must  arrange,  where  possible,  for all
policies  issued  on the lives of  Participants  under the Plan to have the same
premium due date and all ordinary life insurance contracts to contain guaranteed
cash values with as uniform  basic  options as are possible to obtain.  The term
"dividends" includes policy dividends, refunds of premiums and other credits.

     11.05  INSURANCE  COMPANY NOT A PARTY TO AGREEMENT.  No insurance  company,
solely in its capacity as an issuing insurance company,  is a party to this Plan
nor is the company responsible for its validity.

     11.06 NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS. Except as required by ERISA, an issuing
insurance  company  has no  responsibility  or  obligation  under  the  Plan  to
Participants  or  Beneficiaries  for any act (unless the insurance  company also
serves in such capacities) required of the Employer, the Plan Administrator, the
Trustee,  the Custodian or any other service  provider to the Plan. No insurance
company,  solely in its capacity as an issuing insurance  company,  need examine
the terms of this Plan.  For the purpose of making  application  to an insurance
company and in the exercise of any right or option contained in any policy,  the
insurance  company  may  rely  upon the  signature  of the  Trustee  and is held
harmless and completely  discharged in acting at the direction and authorization
of the Trustee.  An insurance  company is discharged  from all liability for any
amount  paid to the  Trustee or paid in  accordance  with the  direction  of the
Trustee, and is not obliged to see to the distribution or further application of
any moneys the insurance company so pays.

     11.07 DUTIES OF INSURANCE  COMPANY.  Each insurance  company must keep such
records, make such identification of contracts, funds and accounts within funds,
and supply such information as may be necessary for the proper administration of
the Plan under which it is carrying insurance benefits.

     Note:  The provisions of this Article XI are not  applicable,  and the Plan
may not invest in insurance contracts,  if a Custodian signatory to the Adoption

banking authority.

                              TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

     12.01 DETERMINATION OF TOP-HEAVY STATUS. If this Plan is the only qualified
plan  maintained by the  Employer,  the Plan is top-heavy for a Plan Year if the
top-heavy ratio as of the Determination Date exceeds 60%. The top-heavy ratio is
a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Account Balances of all Key
Employees as of the Determination Date and the denominator of which is a similar
sum determined for all Employees.

     The Plan  Administrator must include in the top-heavy ratio, as part of the
Account  Balances,  any contribution not made as of the  Determination  Date but
includible  under  Code  ss.416 and the  applicable  Treasury  regulations,  and
distributions made within the Determination  Period. The Plan Administrator must
calculate  the  top-heavy  ratio  by  disregarding   the  Account  Balance  (and
distributions,  if any, of the Account  Balance) of any Non-Key Employee who was
formerly a Key Employee,  and by  disregarding  the Account  Balance  (including
distributions,  if any, of the Account  Balance)  of an  individual  who has not
received  credit for at least one Hour of Service with the  Employer  during the
Determination Period. The Plan Administrator must calculate the top-heavy ratio,
including the extent to which it must take into account distributions, rollovers
and transfers,  in accordance  with Code ss.416 and the  regulations  under that
Code section.

     If the Employer  maintains other  qualified  plans  (including a simplified
employee  pension plan), or maintained  another such plan now  terminated,  this
Plan is top-heavy only if it is part of the Required  Aggregation Group, and the
top-heavy  ratio  for the  Required  Aggregation  Group  and for the  Permissive
Aggregation  Group,  if any,  each  exceeds  60%.  The Plan  Administrator  will
calculate  the  top-heavy  ratio in the same manner as required by the first two
paragraphs  of this  Section  12.01,  taking into  account all plans  within the
Aggregation  Group. To the extent the Plan  Administrator must take into account
distributions   to  a   Participant,   the  Plan   Administrator   must  include
distributions  from a terminated plan which would have been part of the Required
Aggregation  Group if it were in existence on the  Determination  Date. The Plan
Administrator will calculate the present value of accrued benefits under defined
benefit plans or the account  balances under  simplified  employee pension plans
included  within the group in  accordance  with the terms of those  plans,  Code
ss.416 and the regulations under that Code section.

     If a Participant in a defined benefit plan is a Non-Key Employee,  the Plan
Administrator  will determine  his/her accrued benefit under the accrual method,
if any, which is applicable uniformly to all defined benefit plans maintained by
the Employer or, if there is no uniform  method,  in accordance with the slowest
accrual rate  permitted  under the fractional  rule accrual method  described in
Code ss.411(b)(1)(C). If the Employer maintains a defined benefit plan, the Plan
Administrator will use the actuarial  assumptions  (interest and mortality only)
stated in that plan to calculate the present value of benefits from that defined
benefit plan. If an aggregated  plan does not have a valuation  date  coinciding
with the  Determination  Date,  the Plan  Administrator  must value the  Account
Balance in the  aggregated  plan as of the most recent  valuation  date  falling
within the twelve-month  period ending on the Determination Date, except as Code
ss.416 and  applicable  Treasury  regulations  require for the first and for the
second  plan  year of a  defined  benefit  plan.  The  Plan  Administrator  will
calculate the top-heavy  ratio with  reference to the  Determination  Dates that
fall within the same calendar year.  The top-heavy  provisions of the Plan apply
only for Plan Years in which Code ss.416  requires  application of the top-heavy
rules.

     12.02 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of applying the top-heavy provisions of the
Plan:

     (a)  "Compensation"  means Compensation as determined under Section 3.18(b)
for Code ss.415 purposes and includes Compensation for the entire Plan Year.

     (b)  "Determination  Date" means for any Plan Year, the Accounting  Date of
the preceding  Plan Year or, in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan, the
Accounting Date of that Plan Year.

     (c)   "Determination   Period"  means  the  5-year  period  ending  on  the
Determination Date.

     (d)  "Employer"  means the  Employer  that adopts this Plan and any Related
Employer.

     (e) "Key Employee"  means,  as of any  Determination  Date, any Employee or
former  Employee (or  Beneficiary  of such Employee) who, at any time during the
Determination Period: (i) has Compensation in excess of 50% of the dollar amount
prescribed in Code ss.415(b)(1)(A) (relating to defined benefit plans) and is an
officer of the Employer;  (ii) has  Compensation  in excess of the dollar amount
prescribed in Code  ss.415(c)(1)(A)  (relating to defined  contribution  plans),
owns a more than  1/2%  interest  in the  Employer  and is one of the  Employees
owning the ten largest interests in the Employer;  (iii) is a more than 5% owner
of the  Employer;  or  (iv) is a more  than 1%  owner  of the  Employer  and has
Compensation  of more than $150,000.  The  constructive  ownership rules of Code
ss.318 (or the principles of that Code section, in the case of an unincorporated
Employer,)  will apply to  determine  ownership in the  Employer.  The number of
officers taken into account under clause (i) will not exceed the greater of 3 or
10% of the total number (after application of the Code ss.414(q)  exclusions) of
Employees,  but no more than 50 officers.  The Plan  Administrator will make the
determination of who is a Key Employee in accordance with Code  ss.416(i)(1) and
the regulations under that Code section.

     (f) "Non-Key  Employee"  means an Employee who does not meet the definition
of Key Employee.

     (g) "Participant"  means any Employee  otherwise eligible to participate in
the Plan but who is not  entitled to receive any  allocation  under the Plan (or
would have  received a lesser  allocation)  for the Plan Year because of his/her
Compensation level or because of his/her failure: (i) to make elective deferrals
under a 401(k)  arrangement;  (ii) to make Employee  contributions;  or (iii) to
complete  1,000 Hours of Service or any other service  requirement  the Employer
specifies  in its Adoption  Agreement  as a condition  to receive an  allocation
except for employment on the last day of the Plan Year.

     (h) "Permissive  Aggregation  Group" means the Required  Aggregation  Group
plus any other  qualified  plans  maintained by the  Employer,  but only if such
group would satisfy in the aggregate the nondiscrimination  requirements of Code
ss.401(a)(4)   and  the  coverage   requirements   of  Code  ss.410.   The  Plan
Administrator will determine the Permissive Aggregation Group.

     (i) "Required  Aggregation  Group" means:  (i) each  qualified  plan of the
Employer in which at least one Key Employee  participates or participated at any
time during the Determination Period (including  terminated plans); and (ii) any
other  qualified  plan of the Employer  which enables a plan described in clause
(i) to meet the requirements of Code ss.401(a)(4) or of Code ss.410.

     12.03  TOP-HEAVY  MINIMUM  ALLOCATION.  The  top-heavy  minimum  allocation
requirement  applies  to the  Plan  only in a Plan  Year for  which  the Plan is
top-heavy. If the Plan is top-heavy in any Plan Year:

     (a) Each Non-Key  Employee who is a  Participant  (as  described in Section
12.02(g))  and  employed  by the  Employer on the last day of the Plan Year will
receive a top-heavy minimum allocation for that Plan Year.

     (b) The  top-heavy  minimum  allocation is equal to the lesser of 3% of the
Non-Key  Employee's  Compensation for the Plan Year or the highest  contribution
rate for the Plan Year made on behalf of any Key Employee. However, if a defined
benefit plan maintained by the Employer which benefits a Key Employee depends on
this Plan to satisfy the  nondiscrimination  rules of Code  ss.401(a)(4)  or the
coverage  rules of Code ss.410 (or another plan  benefiting  the Key Employee so
depends on such defined benefit plan), the top-heavy minimum allocation is 3% of
the Non-Key Employee's  Compensation regardless of the contribution rate for the
Key Employees.

     (c) If, for a Plan Year, there are no allocations of Employer contributions
or of forfeitures for any Key Employee,  the Plan does not require any top-heavy
minimum  allocation  for the Plan Year,  unless a top-heavy  minimum  allocation
applies because of the maintenance by the Employer of more than one plan.

     12.04  DETERMINING  TOP-HEAVY  CONTRIBUTION  RATES.  In  determining  under
Section 12.03(b) the highest  contribution  rate for any Key Employee,  the Plan
Administrator takes into account all Employer contributions  (including deferral
contributions and including  matching  contributions but not including  Employer
contributions to Social Security) and forfeitures allocated to the Participant's
Account for the Plan Year,  divided by his/her  Compensation for the entire Plan
Year.  For purposes of satisfying the Employer's  top-heavy  minimum  allocation
requirement,  the Plan  Administrator  disregards  the  elective  deferrals  and
matching contributions  allocated to a Non-Key Employee's Account in determining
the  Non-Key  Employee's  contribution  rate.  However,  the Plan  Administrator
operationally  may include in the  contribution  rate of a Non-Key  Employee any
matching   contributions   not   necessary  to  satisfy  the   nondiscrimination
requirements of Code ss.401(k) or of Code ss.401(m).

     To determine a Participant's contribution rate, the Plan Administrator must
treat all  qualified  top-heavy  defined  contribution  plans  maintained by the
Employer (or by any Related Employer) as a single plan.

     12.05  PLAN  WHICH  WILL  SATISFY  TOP-HEAVY.  The Plan  will  satisfy  the
top-heavy  minimum  allocation  requirement  in  accordance  with the  following
requirements:

     (a) If the Employer  makes the top-heavy  minimum  allocation to this Plan,
the Employer will make any necessary  additional  contribution to this Plan. The
Plan  Administrator   first  will  allocate  the  Employer   contributions  (and
Participant  forfeitures,  if any)  for the  Plan  Year in  accordance  with the
provisions of Adoption Agreement Section 3.04. The Employer then will contribute
an additional  amount for the Account of any Participant  entitled under Section
12.03 to a top-heavy minimum allocation and whose contribution rate for the Plan
Year, under this Plan and any other plan aggregated under Section 12.02, is less
than the  top-heavy  minimum  allocation.  The  additional  amount is the amount
necessary  to increase  the  Participant's  contribution  rate to the  top-heavy
minimum  allocation.   The  Plan  Administrator  will  allocate  the  additional
contribution  to the Account of the  Participant  on whose  behalf the  Employer
makes the contribution.

     (b) If the Employer makes the top-heavy  minimum  allocation  under another
plan, this Plan does not provide the top-heavy  minimum  allocation and the Plan
Administrator  will allocate the annual Employer  contributions (and Participant
forfeitures)  under the Plan solely in  accordance  with the  allocation  method
selected under Adoption Agreement Section 3.04.

     12.06 TOP-HEAVY  VESTING.  If the Plan is top-heavy and the Employer in its
Adoption Agreement does not elect immediate  vesting,  the Employer must elect a
top-heavy (or modified  top-heavy)  vesting  schedule.  The specified  top-heavy
vesting  schedule  applies to the Plan's  first  top-heavy  Plan Year and to all
subsequent Plan Years,  except as the Employer  otherwise elects in its Adoption
Agreement.  If the  Employer  elects  in its  Adoption  Agreement  to apply  the
specified  top-heavy  vesting  schedule  only in Plan Years in which the Plan is
top-heavy,  any  change  in the  Plan's  vesting  schedule  resulting  from this
election is subject to Section 5.11.


                                  ARTICLE XIII
                    EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT, AMENDMENT, TERMINATION

     13.01 EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT. Except as provided under Article III, the Employer
does not have any beneficial interest in any asset of the Trust Fund and no part
of any asset in the Trust Fund may ever revert to or be repaid to the  Employer,
either directly or indirectly; nor, prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities
with respect to the Participants and their Beneficiaries under the Plan, may any
part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund,  or any asset of the Trust Fund,
be (at any time) used for, or diverted  to,  purposes  other than the  exclusive
benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries and for defraying  reasonable
expenses of administering the Plan.

     However,  if the  Commissioner  of Internal  Revenue,  upon the  Employer's
application  for initial  approval of this Plan,  determines  the Trust  created
under the Plan is not a qualified  trust  exempt from Federal  income tax,  then
(and only then) the Trustee, upon written notice from the Employer,  will return
the Employer's  contributions  (and the earnings  thereon) to the Employer.  The
immediately   preceding   sentence  applies  only  if  the  Employer  makes  the
application for the  determination  by the time prescribed by law for filing the
Employer's  tax return for the taxable  year in which the  Employer  adopted the
Plan, or by such later date as the Internal  Revenue Service may prescribe.  The
Trustee  must make the return of the  Employer  contribution  under this Section
13.01  within one year of a final  disposition  of the  Employer's  request  for
initial  approval of the Plan. The Employer's Plan and Trust will terminate upon
the Trustee's return of the Employer's contributions.

     13.02  AMENDMENT BY EMPLOYER.  The Employer,  consistent  with this Section
13.02 and other applicable Plan provisions, has the right, at any time:

     (a) To amend the  elective  provisions  of the  Adoption  Agreement  in any
manner it deems necessary or advisable;

     (b) To add  overriding  language in the Adoption  Agreement to satisfy Code
ss.ss.415 or 416 because of the required aggregation of multiple plans; and

     (c) To add model amendments  published by the Revenue Service (the adoption
of which the Revenue Service provides will not cause the Plan to be individually
designed).

     (A) Amendment  Formalities.  The Employer must make all Plan  amendments in
writing by means of substituted  Adoption  Agreement  pages or by restatement of
the Adoption  Agreement.  The Employer  (and  Trustee if the  Trustee's  written
consent to the amendment is required under Section 10.03(G)), must execute a new
Adoption  Agreement  Execution Page each time the Employer amends the Plan. Each
amendment   must  specify  the  date  as  of  which  the   amendment  is  either
retroactively  or  prospectively  effective.  See Section 7.12 for the effect of
certain  amendments  adopted by the Employer which will result in the Employer's
Plan losing Prototype Plan status.

     (B)  Impermissible  Amendment/Protected  Benefits.  An  amendment  may  not
authorize  or permit any of the Trust Fund (other than the part  required to pay
taxes and  reasonable  administration  expenses)  to be used for or  diverted to
purposes  other  than for the  exclusive  benefit of the  Participants  or their
Beneficiaries  or estates.  An amendment  may not cause or permit any portion of
the Trust Fund to revert to or become a property of the  Employer.  Furthermore,
the  Employer may not make any  amendment  which  affects the rights,  duties or
responsibilities of the Trustee or of the Plan Administrator without the written
consent of the affected Trustee or the Plan Administrator.

     An amendment  (including  the adoption of this Plan as a restatement  of an
existing plan) may not decrease a Participant's  Account Balance,  except to the
extent  permitted  under Code  ss.412(c)(8),  and except as provided in Treasury
regulations,   may  not  reduce  or  eliminate   Protected  Benefits  determined
immediately prior to the adoption date (or, if later, the effective date) of the
amendment.  An  amendment  reduces  or  eliminates  Protected  Benefits  if  the
amendment  has the  effect  of  either  (1)  eliminating  or  reducing  an early
retirement  benefit  or  a  retirement-type  subsidy  (as  defined  in  Treasury
regulations), or (2) except as provided by Treasury regulations,  eliminating an
optional form of benefit.

     The  Plan   Administrator   must  disregard  an  amendment  to  the  extent
application of the amendment would fail to satisfy this Section 13.02(B). If the
Plan  Administrator  must  disregard an amendment  because the  amendment  would
violate  clause  (1) or clause  (2),  the Plan  Administrator  must  maintain  a
schedule of the early  retirement  option or other optional forms of benefit the
Plan must continue for the affected Participants.

     13.03  AMENDMENT BY PROTOTYPE PLAN SPONSOR.  The Prototype Plan Sponsor (or
the mass  submitter,  as agent  of the  Prototype  Plan  Sponsor),  without  the
Employer's consent, may amend the Plan and Trust, from time to time, in order to
conform the Plan and Trust to any requirement for  qualification of the Plan and
Trust under the Internal  Revenue Code. The Prototype Plan Sponsor may not amend
the Plan in any manner  which would  modify any  election  made by the  Employer
under  the  Plan  without  the  Employer's  written  consent.  Furthermore,  the
Prototype  Plan Sponsor may not amend the Plan in any manner which would violate
the  proscriptions of Section  13.02(B).  If the Prototype Plan Sponsor does not
adopt  the  amendments  made by the mass  submitter,  it will no  longer  be the
sponsor of an identical or minor modifier Prototype Plan of the mass submitter.

     13.04 PLAN  TERMINATION  OR  SUSPENSION.  The  Employer  subject to Section
13.02(B) and by proper Employer action has the right, at any time, to suspend or
discontinue  its  contributions  under the Plan and  thereafter  to  continue to
maintain  the Plan  (subject to such  suspension  or  discontinuance)  until the
Employer  terminates the Plan. The Employer  subject to Section  13.02(B) and by
proper  Employer  action has the right,  at any time, to terminate this Plan and
the Trust created and  maintained  under the Plan.  The Plan will terminate upon
the first to occur of the following:

     (a) The date terminated by proper action of the Employer; or

     (b) The  dissolution  or merger of the Employer,  unless a successor  makes
provision to continue the Plan,  in which event the  successor  must  substitute
itself as the Employer  under this Plan.  Any  termination of the Plan resulting
from this Paragraph (b) is not effective  until  compliance  with any applicable
notice requirements under ERISA.

     13.05 FULL VESTING ON TERMINATION.  Upon either full or partial termination
of the Plan, or, if applicable,  upon complete  discontinuance of profit sharing
plan  contributions  to the Plan,  an  affected  Participant's  right to his/her
Account  Balance is 100% Vested,  irrespective  of the Vested  percentage  which
otherwise would apply under Article V.

     13.06 POST TERMINATION PROCEDURE AND DISTRIBUTION.

     (A) General  Procedure.  Upon  termination  of the Plan,  the  distribution
provisions of Article VI remain operative, with the following exceptions:

     (1) if the Participant's  Vested Account Balance does not exceed $5,000 (or
exceeds $5,000 but is not "immediately distributable" in accordance with Section
6.01(A)(5)),  the Plan  Administrator  will direct the Trustee to  distribute in
cash (subject to Section  10.08) the  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance to
him/her  in lump  sum as soon as  administratively  practicable  after  the Plan
terminates; and

     (2) if the  present  value  of the  Participant's  Vested  Account  Balance
exceeds  $5,000  and  is  immediately  distributable,  the  Participant  or  the
Beneficiary,  may  elect  to have  the  Trustee  commence  distribution  in cash
(subject to Section 10.08) of his/her  Vested  Account  Balance in a lump sum as
soon as administratively practicable after the Plan terminates. If a Participant
with consent  rights under this  paragraph (2) does not elect an immediate  lump
sum distribution  with spousal consent if required,  to liquidate the Trust, the
Plan   Administrator   will  purchase  a  deferred  annuity  contract  for  each
Participant which protects the Participant's distribution rights under the Plan.

     (B) Profit  Sharing Plan. If the Plan is a profit  sharing plan, in lieu of
applying  Section  13.06(A) and the  distribution  provisions of Article VI, the
Plan  Administrator  will direct the Trustee to  distribute  in cash (subject to
Section 10.08) each Participant's  Vested Account Balance,  in lump sum, as soon
as administratively  practicable after the termination of the Plan, irrespective
of the Participant's  Vested Account Balance,  the Participant's age and whether
the Participant consents to that distribution. This paragraph does not apply if:
(1) the Plan at  termination  provides  an annuity  option  which is a Protected
Benefit and which the Employer may not eliminate by Plan amendment; or (2) as of
the period  between  the Plan  termination  date and the final  distribution  of
assets, the Employer  maintains any other defined  contribution plan (other than
an ESOP). The Employer, in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement,  may elect not
to have this paragraph apply.

     (C) Distribution  restrictions under Code ss.401(k). If the Plan includes a
401(k)  arrangement or if the Plan holds transferred assets described in Section
13.07  such that in either  case,  the  distribution  restrictions  of  Sections
14.03(d) and 14.11 apply, a Participant's  restricted balances are distributable
on account of Plan termination, as described in this Section 13.06, only if: (a)
the  Employer  does not  maintain a  successor  plan and the Plan  Administrator
distributes  the  Participant's  entire Vested Account Balance in a lump sum; or
(b) the  Participant  otherwise is entitled under the Plan to a distribution  of
his/her Vested Account Balance.

     A successor  plan under  clause (b) is a defined  contribution  plan (other
than an ESOP) maintained by the Employer (or by a Related  Employer) at the time
of the  termination  of the Plan or within the period ending twelve months after
the final  distribution  of assets.  However,  a plan is not a successor plan if
less than 2% of the Employees  eligible to participate in the  terminating  Plan
are eligible to  participate  (beginning 12 months prior to and ending 12 months
after the Plan's termination date) in the potential successor plan.

     (D) "Lost  Participants." If the Plan Administrator is unable to locate any
Participant  or  Beneficiary  whose  Account  becomes  distributable  upon  Plan
termination,  the Plan  Administrator  will apply  Section  9.11 except  Section
9.11(B) does not apply.

     (E) Continuing Trust Provisions.  The Trust will continue until the Trustee
in accordance with the direction of the Plan  Administrator  has distributed all
of the benefits under the Plan. On each valuation  date, the Plan  Administrator
will credit any part of a Participant's  Account  Balance  retained in the Trust
with its share of the Trust net income, gains or losses. Upon termination of the
Plan, the amount, if any, in a suspense account under Article III will revert to
the Employer,  subject to the conditions of the Treasury regulations  permitting
such a reversion. A resolution or an amendment to discontinue all future benefit
accrual but otherwise to continue maintenance of this Plan, is not a termination
for purposes of this Section 13.06.

     13.07 MERGER/DIRECT  TRANSFER. The Trustee possesses the specific authority
to enter into merger agreements or direct transfer of assets agreements with the
trustees of other  retirement  plans described in Code  ss.401(a),  including an
elective  transfer,  and to accept the direct  transfer  of plan  assets,  or to
transfer plan assets,  as a party to any such  agreement.  Except as provided in
Section  13.07(A),  the Trustee may not consent to, or be a party to, any merger
or consolidation with another plan, or to a transfer of assets or liabilities to
another plan (or from the other plan to this Plan), unless immediately after the
merger,  consolidation or transfer, the surviving plan provides each Participant
a benefit  equal to or greater  than the  benefit  each  Participant  would have
received had the transferring plan terminated  immediately  before the merger or
the  consolidation  or the  transfer.  The  Trustee  will hold,  administer  and
distribute  the  transferred  assets as a part of the Trust Fund and the Trustee
must maintain a separate  Employer  contribution  Account for the benefit of the
Employee on whose  behalf the Trustee  accepted the transfer in order to reflect
the value of the transferred assets.

     The  Trustee  may accept a direct  transfer  of plan assets on behalf of an
Employee  prior  to the date  the  Employee  satisfies  the  Plan's  eligibility
conditions.  If the Trustee accepts such a direct  transfer of plan assets,  the
Plan  Administrator  and the  Trustee  must  treat  the  Employee  as a  limited
Participant as described in Section 4.04.

     Sections  13.07(A) and (B) are effective for elective  transfers made on or
following  September 6, 2000. Under an elective  transfer which is made pursuant
to Section 13.07(A) or (B), the Protected  Benefits in the transferring plan are
not  required to be  preserved  under  Section  13.02(B),  except as provided in
Section 13.07(B).

     (A) Distributable  Event Elective Transfer.  The Trustee may consent to, or
be a party to, a merger,  consolidation  or  transfer  of  assets  with  another
qualified plan in accordance with this Section 13.07(A).

     A  transfer  between  qualified  plans is a  distributable  event  elective
transfer if: (1) the Participant has a right to immediate  distribution from the
transferor plan; (2) the transfer is voluntary,  under a fully informed election
by the Participant;  (3) the Participant has an alternative that retains his/her
Protected  Benefits  (including  an  option  to  leave  his/her  benefit  in the
transferor  plan,  if that plan is not  terminating);  (4) the  transferor  plan
satisfies  applicable consent and joint and survivor annuity requirements of the
Code;   (5)  the   amount   transferred,   together   with  the  amount  of  any
contemporaneous  direct rollover of the  Participant's  remaining Vested Account
Balance,  constitutes the Participant's  entire Vested Account Balance;  (6) the
Participant  has a 100%  Vested  interest  in  the  transferred  benefit  in the
transferee  plan; and (7) if the transfer is from this Plan to a defined benefit
plan, the transferee plan provides a benefit for the affected  Participant equal
to the  benefit  (expressed  as an  annuity  payable at normal  retirement  age)
derived solely with respect to the transferred assets.

     An  elective  transfer  under  this  Section  13.07(A)  may  occur  between
qualified  plans of any type.  Any  direct  transfer  of  assets  from a defined
benefit  plan to this Plan  which  does not  satisfy  the  requirements  of this
Section 13.07(A) renders the Plan individually-designed. See Section 7.12.

     Commencing  January 1, 2002,  the  Trustee  may not  undertake  an elective
transfer  of  a  Participant's  Account  under  this  Section  13.07(A)  if  the
Participant is eligible to receive an immediate  distribution  of his/her entire
Vested  Account  Balance  which would consist  entirely of an eligible  rollover
distribution as described in Section 6.10(D).

     (B)  Transaction/Employment  Change  Elective  Transfer.  The  Trustee  may
consent to, or be a party to, a merger, consolidation or transfer of assets with
another  qualified  defined  contribution  plan in accordance  with this Section
13.07(B).

     A transfer is a transaction or employment  change transfer  irrespective of
whether  the  Participant  has a right  to an  immediate  distribution  from the
transferor plan provided: (1) the transfer satisfies requirements (2) and (3) of
Section 13.07(A);  (2) the transfer only may occur as between plans described in
applicable Treasury regulations;  (3) the transfer must occur in connection with
a merger,  asset or stock acquisition,  or change in employment resulting in the
participant's loss of right to additional  allocations in the transferor plan or
in such other circumstances as described in applicable Treasury regulations; (4)
the transfer  must consist of the  Participant's  entire  Vested and  non-Vested
Account  Balance  within the transferor  plan; and (5) the transferee  plan must
protect the QJSA and QPSA benefits (if any) in the transferor plan.

     (C) Other Transfers.  Any transfer which is not an elective  transfer under
Sections 13.07(A) or 13.07(B) and which includes  Protected  Benefits is subject
to Section  13.02(B).  The trustee of the  transferee  plan in receipt of assets
which are Protected  Benefits must preserve the Protected Benefits in accordance
with applicable Treasury  regulations.  If the transferor plan contains a 401(k)
arrangement  with  restricted  balances  as  described  in Section  14.11,  such
balances remain subject in the transferee plan to the distribution  restrictions
described in Section  14.03(d).  Any transfer under this Section 13.07(C) from a
defined  benefit plan to this Plan must be in the form of the transfer of a paid
up  individual  annuity  contract  which  guarantees  the payment of benefits in
accordance with the transferor  plan.  Notwithstanding  any Plan language to the
contrary,  if this Plan is a target benefit or money purchase  pension plan, and
the Trustee  merges or the Employer  converts by amendment the Plan into another
type of defined contribution plan, the Employer  operationally may elect whether
to vest immediately the Participants' Account Balances.


                                   ARTICLE XIV
            CODE SECTION 401(k) AND CODE SECTION 401(m) ARRANGEMENTS

     14.01  APPLICATION.  This  Article  XIV  applies  to the  Plan  only if the
Employer is maintaining its Plan under a Code ss.401(k) Adoption Agreement.

     14.02 401(k)  ARRANGEMENT.  The Employer  under Article III of its Adoption
Agreement  will elect the terms of the 401(k)  arrangement  as described in Code
ss.401(k)(2),  if any, under the Plan. If the Plan is a  Standardized  Plan, the
401(k)  arrangement  must be a salary  reduction  arrangement.  If the Plan is a
Nonstandardized   Plan,  the  401(k)  arrangement  may  be  a  salary  reduction
arrangement or a cash or deferred arrangement, or both.

     (A) Salary Reduction Arrangement. If the Employer in its Adoption Agreement
Section  3.01  elects a  salary  reduction  arrangement,  a  Participant  (or an
Employee in anticipation of becoming a Participant)  may file a salary reduction
agreement with the Plan Administrator. The salary reduction agreement may not be
effective   earlier  than  the  following   date  which  occurs  last:  (1)  the
Participant's  Plan  Entry  Date  (or,  in the case of a  re-employed  Employee,
his/her  re-participation  date under Article II); (2) the execution date of the
Participant's salary reduction  agreement;  (3) the date the Employer adopts the
401(k)  arrangement  by executing the Adoption  Agreement;  or (4) the effective
date of the 401(k) arrangement, as specified in the Adoption Agreement.

     A salary reduction agreement must specify the dollar amount of Compensation
or  percentage  of  Compensation  the  Participant  wishes to defer.  The salary
reduction  agreement  will apply only to  Compensation  which becomes  currently
available to the  Participant  after the effective date of the salary  reduction
agreement.   The  Employer  will  apply  a  salary  reduction  election  to  the
Participant's Compensation as determined under Section 1.07 (and to increases in
such  Compensation)  unless the Participant  elects in his/her salary  reduction
agreement to limit the reduction to certain Compensation. The Plan Administrator
in the Plan's salary  reduction  agreement  form,  subject to the Plan terms and
applicable   Revenue  Service  guidance,   will  specify  additional  rules  and
restrictions applicable to a Participant's salary reduction agreement.

     (B) Cash or Deferred Arrangement. If the Employer in its Adoption Agreement
Section 3.02 elects a cash or deferred  arrangement,  a Participant may elect to
make a cash election against his/her  proportionate share of the Employer's cash
or deferred  contribution,  in accordance with the Employer's Adoption Agreement
elections.  A  Participant's  proportionate  share  of the  Employer's  cash  or
deferred   contribution  is  the  percentage  of  the  total  cash  or  deferred
contribution which bears the same ratio that the Participant's  Compensation for
the Plan Year bears to the total  Compensation of all  Participants for the Plan
Year. For purposes of determining each Participant's  proportionate share of the
cash  or  deferred  contribution,   a  Participant's   Compensation  is  his/her
Compensation  as  determined  under  Section  1.07,  excluding  any  effect  the
proportionate  share  may have on the  Participant's  Compensation  for the Plan
Year. The Plan Administrator will determine the proportionate share prior to the
Employer's  actual  contribution to the Trust, to provide the  Participants  the
opportunity  to file cash  elections.  The  Employer  will pay  directly  to the
Participant  the  portion of his/her  proportionate  share the  Participant  has
elected to receive in cash.

     (C) Negative Election.  The Employer in its Adoption Agreement may elect to
apply prospectively to its Plan the negative election provisions of this Section
14.02(C).  Under a negative election, the Employer automatically will reduce the
Compensation  of each  Participant who is not deferring an amount at least equal
to the negative election amount,  by the required election amount,  except those
Participants  who timely make a contrary  election  under  Section  14.02(C)(1).
Participants  deferring an amount equal to or greater than the negative election
amount are not  subject  to the Plan's  negative  election  provisions.  Amounts
deferred  under  negative  election  are treated as elective  deferrals  for all
purposes  under the Plan.  An  Employer  in its  Adoption  Agreement  must elect
whether the negative  election  applies to all  Participants as of the effective
date of the negative  election or only to Employees  whose Plan Entry Date is on
or following the effective date of the negative election.

     (1) Participant's  contrary  election.  A Participant may at any time elect
not to defer  any  Compensation  or to defer an  amount  which is less  than the
negative  election  amount  ("contrary  election").   A  Participant's  contrary
election  generally is effective  as of the first  payroll  period for the month
which follows the Participant's  contrary  election.  However, a Participant may
make a contrary election which is effective: (1) for the first payroll period in
which he/she becomes a Participant if the Participant  makes a contrary election
within a reasonable period following the Participant's Entry Date and before the
Compensation to which the election applies becomes currently  available;  or (2)
for the first payroll  period  following the  effective  date of the  Employer's
adoption of the negative  election,  if the Participant  makes contrary election
not later than the  effective  date of the negative  election.  A  Participant's
contrary election continues in effect until the Participant subsequently changes
his/her Salary Reduction Agreement.

     (2) Negative  election  notice.  If the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement
adopts the negative election  provision,  the Plan  Administrator must provide a
notice to each  Eligible  Employee  which  explains  the effect of the  negative
election and a Participant's  right to make a contrary  election,  including the
procedure and timing applicable to the contrary election. The Plan Administrator
must  provide the notice to an Eligible  Employee a  reasonable  period prior to
that  Employee's  commencement  of  participation  in the  Plan  subject  to the
negative  election.  A  Plan  Administrator  also  must  notify  annually  those
Participants  then  subject to the negative  election of the  existing  negative
election  deferral  percentage  and the  Participant's  right to make a contrary
election,  including  the  procedure  and  timing  applicable  to  the  contrary
election.

     (D) Safe Harbor  401(k) Plan.  The Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  may
elect to apply to its Plan the safe harbor  provisions of this Section 14.02(D).
Except as otherwise  provided in this Plan,  in the Code or in other  applicable
guidance, an Employer must elect the safe harbor plan provisions of this Section
14.02(D)  and must  satisfy  the  applicable  notice  requirements  prior to the
beginning  of the  Plan  Year to which  the safe  harbor  provisions  apply.  In
addition,  except as otherwise  indicated,  the electing Employer must apply the
safe harbor provisions for the entire safe harbor Plan Year, including any short
Plan Year. The provisions of this Section 14.02(D) apply to an electing Employer
notwithstanding  any contrary provision of the Plan and all other remaining Plan
terms  continue to apply to the  Employer's  safe harbor plan. An Employer which
elects and  operationally  satisfies the safe harbor  provisions of this Section
14.02(D) is not subject to the  nondiscrimination  provisions  of Section  14.08
(ADP  test).   An  electing   Employer   which  provides   additional   matching
contributions   as   described  in  Section   14.02(D)(3)   is  subject  to  the
nondiscrimination  provisions of Section 14.09 (ACP test), unless the additional
matching  contributions  satisfy the ACP test safe harbor  described  in Section
14.02(D)(3).

     (1) Safe harbor -  Compensation.  For  purposes of this  Section  14.02(D),
Compensation  is limited as  described  in Section  1.07(E) and for  purposes of
allocating  the Employer's  safe harbor  contribution  and safe harbor  matching
contribution,   the  Employer   must  elect  under  its  Adoption   Agreement  a
nondiscriminatory definition of Compensation as described in Section 1.07(F). An
Employer  in its  Adoption  Agreement  also may  elect to limit  the  amount  of
Compensation  which is subject to deferral to any reasonable  definition  which:
(a) permits a Participant to receive the maximum matching contribution,  if any,
available  under the Plan;  or (b)  limits  deferrals  under the Plan to a whole
percentage or dollar amount.

     (2) Safe Harbor  Contributions/ADP  test safe  harbor.  An  Employer  which
elects under this  Section  14.02(D) to apply the safe harbor  provisions,  must
make a  contribution  to the Plan which will  satisfy  the ADP test safe  harbor
("safe harbor contribution").  The Employer in its Adoption Agreement must elect
whether the Employer will make its safe harbor  contribution in the form of: (a)
a safe harbor nonelective  contribution;  (b) a basic matching contribution;  or
(c) an enhanced matching contribution. A safe harbor nonelective contribution is
a fixed  nonelective  contribution  in an  amount  the  Employer  elects  in its
Adoption   Agreement   and  must  equal  at  least  3%  of  each   Participant's
Compensation.  A basic matching  contribution  is a fixed matching  contribution
equal to 100% of a  Participant's  elective  deferrals which do not exceed 3% of
Compensation,  plus 50% of elective  deferrals which exceed 3%, but which do not
exceed 5% of Compensation. An enhanced matching contribution is a fixed matching
contribution  made in  accordance  with any formula the  Employer  elects in its
Adoption Agreement under which, at any rate of elective deferrals, a Participant
receives  a  matching  contribution  which is at least  equal to the  match  the
Participant  would receive  under the basic  matching  contribution  formula and
under  which  the  rate of  match  does not  increase  as the rate of  deferrals
increases.  Under a basic or enhanced  safe harbor match,  a Highly  Compensated
Employee may not receive a greater rate of match than any Nonhighly  Compensated
Employee.  The Employer in its Adoption Agreement must elect the applicable time
period for  computing  the  Employer's  safe harbor  basic or enhanced  matching
contributions.  The Plan  Administrator must allocate the Employer's safe harbor
contribution without regard to the Section 3.06 allocation  conditions,  but the
Plan  Administrator  will not  allocate  a safe  harbor  contribution  where the
allocation would exceed a Participant's  Code ss.ss.415 or 402(g)  limitation or
where  the  Participant  is  suspended  from  making   deferrals  under  Section
14.11(A)(1).  The Plan Administrator must allocate the safe harbor  contribution
to all Participants unless the Employer in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement
elects to limit the safe harbor allocation to Nonhighly Compensated Employees. A
Participant's  Account Balance  attributable to safe harbor contributions at all
times 100%  Vested and subject to the  distribution  restrictions  described  in
Section  14.03(d).  An  Employer's  safe harbor  contribution  is not subject to
nondiscrimination  testing under Section 14.08 (ADP test) and if the safe harbor
contribution is in the form of a basic matching contribution,  it is not subject
to nondiscrimination testing under Section 14.09 (ACP test). The Employer in its
Adoption  Agreement  must  elect  whether to  satisfy  the ACP test safe  harbor
Section 14.02(D)(3)(a) amount limitation with respect to the Employer's enhanced
matching  contributions  or to test,  using current year  testing,  its enhanced
matching contributions under Section 14.09 (ACP test).

     An Employer electing Section 14.02(D) which in its Adoption  Agreement also
elects to apply  permitted  disparity in allocating the  Employer's  nonelective
contributions,   may  not  include  within  the  permitted   disparity   formula
allocation, any of the Employer's safe harbor contributions.  An Employer in its
Adoption  Agreement  may elect to make the safe harbor  contribution  to another
defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer provided:  (i) the Employer
maintains its safe harbor 401(k) Plan using a  Nonstandardized  401(k)  Adoption
Agreement;  or (ii) the Employer makes its safe harbor  contribution  to another
defined contribution plan paired with the Employer's safe harbor 401(k) Plan.

     (3) Additional  Matching  Contributions/ACP  test safe harbor.  An Employer
which  satisfies  the ADP test safe harbor  under  Section  14.02(D)(2),  in its
Adoption  Agreement may elect to make matching  contributions  to the Plan which
are in  addition  to the  Employer's  safe  harbor  contributions  and which the
Employer does not use to satisfy the ADP test safe harbor ("additional  matching
contributions").  The Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  must elect whether to
subject  the  additional  matching  contributions  to the ACP test  safe  harbor
requirements of this Section 14.02(D)(3), or for the Plan Administrator to test,
using  current  year  testing,   the  additional   matching   contributions  for
nondiscrimination  under  Section  14.09  (ACP  test).  Under  the ACP test safe
harbor:  (a) the Employer may not make matching  contributions with respect to a
Participant's  deferral contributions which exceed 6% of Plan Year Compensation;
(b) the  amount of any  discretionary  matching  contribution  allocated  to any
Participant  in Plan  Years  commencing  after  1999  may not  exceed  4% of the
Participant's Plan Year Compensation; (c) the rate of matching contributions may
not increase as the rate of deferrals increases;  and (d) subject to application
of any Section 3.06 allocation conditions, a Highly Compensated Employee may not
receive a greater rate of match than any  Nonhighly  Compensated  Employee.  The
Employer must elect in its Adoption  Agreement the vesting schedule,  allocation
conditions and distribution  provisions  applicable to the Employer's additional
matching contributions described in this Section 14.02(D)(3). If the Employer in
its Adoption  Agreement has elected to permit Employee  contributions  under the
Plan: (i) any Employee contributions do not satisfy the ACP test safe harbor and
the Plan Administrator must test the Employee  contributions under Section 14.09
(ACP test) using current year testing;  and (ii) if the Employer in its Adoption
Agreement elects to match the Employee contributions,  the Plan Administrator in
applying  the 6%  amount  limit in clause  (a) must  aggregate  a  Participant's
deferral  contribution  and Employee  contributions  which are subject to the 6%
limit.

     (4) Safe Harbor notice. The Plan Administrator annually must provide a safe
harbor notice to each  Participant  a reasonable  period prior to each Plan Year
for which the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  has elected to apply the safe
harbor provisions. For this purpose, the Plan Administrator is deemed to provide
timely notice if the Plan Administrator provides the safe harbor notice at least
30 days and not more than 90 days prior to the beginning of the safe harbor Plan
Year. The safe harbor notice must provide  comprehensive  information  regarding
the Participants' rights and obligations under the Plan and must be written in a
manner  calculated to be understood by the average  Participant.  If an Employee
becomes  eligible to  participate in the Plan after the Plan  Administrator  has
provided the annual safe harbor notice,  the Plan Administrator must provide the
safe harbor notice no later than the  Employee's  Plan Entry Date. A Participant
may make or modify a salary reduction agreement under the Employer's safe harbor
401(k)  Plan for 30 days  following  receipt of the safe  harbor  notice,  or if
greater, for the period the Plan Administrator specifies in the salary reduction
agreement.

     (5)  Mid-year  changes in safe harbor  status.  The  Employer may amend its
401(k) Plan during any Plan Year to become a safe harbor plan under this Section
14.02(D) for that Plan Year,  provided:  (a) the Plan then is using current year
testing;  (b) the Employer amends the Plan to add the safe harbor provisions not
later  than 30 days  prior  to the end of the Plan  Year  and to apply  the safe
harbor  provisions for the entire Plan Year; (c) the Employer  elects to satisfy
the safe  harbor  contribution  requirement  using the safe  harbor  nonelective
contribution;  and (d) the Plan Administrator  provides a notice to Participants
prior to the beginning of the Plan Year for which the safe harbor  amendment may
become  effective,  that the Employer  later may amend the Plan to a safe harbor
plan for that Plan Year using the safe harbor  nonelective  contribution  and if
the  Employer  so  amends  the  Plan,  the Plan  Administrator  will  provide  a
supplemental  notice to  Participants  at least 30 days prior to the end of that
Plan Year informing  Participants of the amendment.  The Plan Administrator then
must  timely  provide  any  supplemental  notice  required  under  this  Section
14.02(D)(5). Except as otherwise specified, the Participant notices described in
this Section  14.02(D)(5) also must satisfy the requirements  applicable to safe
harbor notices under Section 14.02(D)(4).

     The  Employer  may amend its safe harbor  401(k) Plan during a Plan Year to
reduce or eliminate prospectively, any safe harbor contribution which is a basic
matching or enhanced matching contribution (under Section 14.02(D)(2)) provided:
(i) the Plan Administrator  provides a notice to the Participants which explains
the  effect of the  amendment,  specifies  the  amendment's  effective  date and
informs  Participants  they will have a reasonable  opportunity  to modify their
salary reduction agreements,  and if applicable,  Employee  contributions;  (ii)
Participants  have a reasonable  opportunity  and period prior to the  effective
date of the  amendment  to modify  their  salary  reduction  agreements,  and if
applicable,  Employee  contributions;  and (iii) the  amendment is not effective
earlier than the later of: (a) 30 days after the Plan Administrator gives notice
of the amendment; or (b) the date the Employer adopts the amendment. An Employer
which  amends  its safe  harbor  Plan to  eliminate  or reduce  the safe  harbor
matching  contribution under this Section  14.02(D)(5),  or which terminates the
Plan under Section 13.04 effective  during the Plan Year, must continue to apply
all of the safe harbor requirements of this Section 14.02(D) until the amendment
or termination  becomes  effective and also must apply for the entire Plan Year,
using current year testing, the nondiscrimination  test under Section 14.08 (ADP
test), and if applicable,  the  nondiscrimination  test under Section 14.09 (ACP
test).

     An  Employer  maintaining  a  profit  sharing  plan,  stock  bonus  plan or
pre-ERISA money purchase pension plan may during a Plan Year amend prospectively
its Plan to become a safe harbor 401(k) plan provided:  (a) the Employer's  Plan
is not a successor plan as described in Notice 98-1 or any subsequent applicable
guidance;  (b) the 401(k)  arrangement is in effect for at least 3 months during
the Plan  Year;  (c) the Plan  Administrator  provides  the safe  harbor  notice
described in Section  14.02(D)(4) a reasonable  time prior to and not later than
the effective  date of the amendment;  and (d) the Plan satisfies  commencing on
the effective date of the amendment, all of the safe harbor requirements of this
Section 14.02(D).

     (E) SIMPLE 401(k) Plan.  The Employer in its  Standardized  Code  ss.401(k)
Adoption  Agreement  may  elect to apply  prospectively  to its Plan the  SIMPLE
401(k) provisions of this Section 14.02(E) if: (1) the Plan Year is the calendar
year; (2) the Employer  (including  Related Employers under Section 1.26) has no
more than 100  Employees  who  received  Compensation  of at least $5,000 in the
immediately  preceding calendar year; and (3) the Employer does not maintain any
other  plan  as   described  in  Code   ss.219(g)(5),   with  respect  to  which
contributions  were made or  benefits  were  accrued  for Service by an eligible
Employee in the Plan Year to which the SIMPLE  401(k)  provisions  apply.  If an
electing  Employer fails for any subsequent  calendar year to satisfy all of the
foregoing  requirements,   including  where  the  Employer  is  involved  in  an
acquisition,  disposition  or  similar  transaction  under  which  the  Employer
satisfies Code ss.410(b)(6)(C)(1), the Employer remains eligible to maintain the
SIMPLE 401(k) Plan for two additional  calendar years following the last year in
which the Employer  satisfied the  requirements.  The provisions of this Section
14.02(E) apply to an electing Employer notwithstanding any contrary provision in
the Plan.

     (1)  SIMPLE  -  Compensation.   For  purposes  of  this  Section  14.02(E),
Compensation  is limited as described in Section 1.07(E) and: (a) in the case of
an Employee,  means W-2 wages but increased by the Employee's elective deferrals
under a 401(k) arrangement, SIMPLE IRA, SARSEP or 403(b) annuity; and (b) in the
case of a Self  Employed  Individual,  means Earned  Income  determined  without
regard to contributions made to this Plan.

     (2) Participant  deferral  contributions.  Each eligible Employee may enter
into a salary reduction agreement to make deferral contributions into the SIMPLE
401(k) Plan in an amount not exceeding  $6,000 per calendar  year, or such other
amount as in effect under Code ss.408(p)(2)(E).  A Participant may elect to make
deferral  contributions  or modify a salary  reduction  agreement at any time in
accordance  with  the  Plan  Administrator's   SIMPLE  401(k)  salary  reduction
agreement  form, but must be provided at least 60 days prior to the beginning of
each SIMPLE Plan Year or  commencement  of  participation  for this  purpose.  A
Participant  also  may at  any  time  terminate  prospectively,  his/her  salary
reduction agreement applicable to the Employer's SIMPLE 401(k) Plan.

     (3) Employer  SIMPLE 401(k)  contributions.  An Employer which elects under
this Section 14.02(E) to apply the SIMPLE 401(k) provisions,  annually must make
a  SIMPLE  401(k)  contribution  to  the  Plan  as  described  in  this  Section
14.02(E)(3).  The Employer  operationally  must elect  whether the Employer will
contribute:  (1) a matching  contribution equal to each  Participant's  deferral
contributions  but not  exceeding  3% of Plan Year  Compensation  or such  lower
percentage as the Employer may elect under Code ss.408(p)(2)(C)(ii)(II);  or (2)
a  nonelective  contribution  equal  to 2% of Plan  Year  Compensation  for each
Participant whose  Compensation is at least $5,000. The Employer in its Adoption
Agreement may not elect to apply any Section 3.06  allocation  conditions to the
Plan Administrator's allocation of Employer SIMPLE contributions.

     (4) SIMPLE 401(k)  notice.  The Plan  Administrator  must provide notice to
each  Participant  a reasonable  period of time before the 60th day prior to the
beginning of each SIMPLE 401(k) Plan Year, describing the Participant's deferral
election rights and the Employer's  matching or nonelective  contributions which
the Employer will make for the Plan Year described in the notice.

     (5)  Application of remaining Plan  provisions.  All  contributions  to the
SIMPLE 401(k) Plan are Annual Additions  subject to the limitations set forth in
Article  III.  No  contributions  other than  those  described  in this  Section
14.02(E) or rollover contributions  described in Section 4.04 may be made to the
SIMPLE 401(k) Plan. All  contributions to the SIMPLE 401(k) Plan are 100% Vested
at all times and in the event of a conversion of a non SIMPLE Plan into a SIMPLE
401(k) Plan, all Account Balances in existence on the first day of the Plan Year
to which the SIMPLE 401(k) provisions apply, become 100% Vested. A SIMPLE 401(k)
Plan is not subject to nondiscrimination  testing under Section 14.08 (ADP test)
or  Section  14.09  (ACP  test) of the Plan and is not  subject to the top heavy
provisions  of  Article  XII.  Except as  otherwise  described  in this  Section
14.03(E),  if an Employer  has elected in its  Adoption  Agreement  to apply the
SIMPLE 401(k) provisions of this Section 14.03(E),  the Plan  Administrator will
apply the remaining Plan provisions to Employer's Plan.

     (F) Election not to participate. A Participant's or Employee's election not
to participate, pursuant to Section 2.06, includes his/her right to enter into a
salary  reduction  agreement or to share in the allocation of a cash or deferred
contribution.

     14.03 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article XIV:

     (a) "Compensation" means, except as otherwise provided in this Article XIV,
Compensation as defined for nondiscrimination purposes in Section 1.07(F).

     (b) "Current year testing"  means for purposes of the ADP test described in
Section 14.08 and the ACP test described in Section 14.09,  the use of data from
the testing year in  determining  the ADP or ADP for the  Nonhighly  Compensated
Group.

     (c) "Deferral contributions" are salary reduction contributions and cash or
deferred  contributions  the Employer  contributes  to the Trust on behalf of an
eligible  Employee,  irrespective  of  whether,  in the case of cash or deferred
contributions,  the contribution is at the election of the Employee.  For salary
reduction  contributions,  the  terms  "deferral  contributions"  and  "elective
deferrals" have the same meaning.

     (d)  "Distribution  restrictions"  means  the  Employee  may not  receive a
distribution of the restricted balances described in Section 14.11 (nor earnings
on those  contributions)  except in the event of: (1) the  Participant's  death,
Disability,  Separation  from  Service  (which  for  purposes  of  this  Section
14.03(d),  means as the Plan  Administrator  determines under applicable Revenue
Service guidance, including the "same desk" rule and Revenue Ruling 2000-27 with
respect to certain  asset sale  transactions)  or  attainment of age 59 1/2, (2)
financial hardship  satisfying Section 14.11(A),  (3) Plan termination,  without
establishment of a successor defined contribution plan (other than an ESOP), (4)
a sale by a corporate  Employer of  substantially  all of the assets (within the
meaning of Code  ss.409(d)(2))  used in a trade or business of the Employer,  to
another  corporation,  but only to an Employee who continues employment with the
corporation acquiring those assets, or (5) a sale by a corporate Employer of its
interest in a subsidiary (within the meaning of Code ss.409(d)(3)),  but only to
an  Employee  who  continues  employment  with the  subsidiary.  A  distribution
described  in  clauses  (3),  (4) or (5)  must be a lump sum  distribution,  and
otherwise must satisfy Code ss.401(k)(10).

     (e) "Elective  deferrals" are all salary reduction  contributions  and that
portion of any cash or deferred  contribution which the Employer  contributes to
the Plan at the  election  of an  eligible  Employee.  Any  portion of a cash or
deferred contribution contributed to the Trust because of the Employee's failure
to make a cash election is an elective deferral.  However, any portion of a cash
or deferred  contribution  over which the Employee does not have a cash election
is not an elective  deferral.  Elective  deferrals do not include  amounts which
have become  currently  available  to the  Employee  prior to the  election  nor
amounts  designated  as an  Employee  contribution  at the time of  deferral  or
contribution. Elective deferrals are 100% vested at all times.

     (f) "Eligible  Employee"  means,  for purposes of the ADP test described in
Section  14.08,  an Employee  who is  eligible to enter into a salary  reduction
agreement  for all or any  portion  of the Plan  Year,  irrespective  of whether
he/she actually enters into such an agreement, and a Participant who is eligible
for an allocation of the Employer's cash or deferred  contribution  for the Plan
Year.  For  purposes of the ACP test  described  in Section  14.09,  an eligible
Employee is a  Participant  who is eligible to receive an allocation of matching
contributions  (or would be eligible  if he/she  made the type of  contributions
necessary to receive an allocation of matching  contributions) and a Participant
who is eligible to make Employee  contributions,  irrespective of whether he/she
actually makes Employee  contributions.  An Employee continues to be an eligible
Employee during a period the Plan suspends the Employee's right to make elective
deferrals or Employee contributions following a hardship distribution.

     (g) "Employee  contributions"  are  nondeductible  contributions  made by a
Participant  and  designated,  at  the  time  of  contribution,  as an  Employee
contribution.  Elective  deferrals and deferral  contributions  are not Employee
contributions. Employee contributions are subject to Article IV.

                  (h) "Highly Compensated Employee" means an eligible Employee
         who satisfies the definition in Section 1.14 of the Plan.

     (i) "Highly  Compensated  Group" means the group of eligible  Employees who
are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year.

     (j)  "Matching  contributions"  are  contributions  made by the Employer on
account  of  elective  deferrals  under a 401(k)  arrangement  or on  account of
Employee   contributions.   Matching   contributions  also  include  Participant
forfeitures  allocated  on  account  of  such  elective  deferrals  or  Employee
contributions.

     (k)  "Nonelective  contributions"  are  contributions  made by the Employer
which are not subject to a deferral  election  by an Employee  and which are not
matching contributions.

     (l) "Nonhighly  Compensated Employee" means an eligible Employee who is not
a Highly Compensated Employee.

     (m) "Nonhighly Compensated Group" means the group of eligible Employees who
are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year.

     (n) "Prior year  testing"  means for purposes of the ADP test  described in
Section 14.08 and the ACP test described in Section 14.09,  the use of data from
the Plan Year  immediately  prior to the testing year in determining  the ADP or
ACP for the Nonhighly Compensated Group.

     (o) "Qualified matching contributions" are matching contributions which are
100% Vested at all times and which are subject to the distribution  restrictions
described in Section 14.03(d). Matching contributions are not 100% Vested at all
times if the Employee  has a 100% Vested  interest  because of his/her  Years of
Service taken into account under a vesting schedule.  Any matching contributions
allocated to a Participant's  qualified matching contributions Account under the
Plan  automatically  satisfy  and are  subject to the  definition  of  qualified
matching contributions.

     (p) "Qualified  nonelective  contributions"  are nonelective  contributions
which are 100%  Vested at all times and which are  subject  to the  distribution
restrictions  described in Section 14.03(d).  Nonelective  contributions are not
100% Vested at all times if the Employee has a 100% Vested  interest  because of
his/her  Years of  Service  taken into  account  under a vesting  schedule.  Any
nonelective  contributions  allocated to a Participant's  qualified  nonelective
contributions  Account under the Plan  automatically  satisfy and are subject to
the definition of qualified nonelective contributions.

     (q) "Regular matching  contributions" are matching  contributions which are
not qualified matching contributions.

     (r) "Safe  harbor  contributions"  are  Employer  nonelective  or  matching
contributions which the Plan Administrator  applies to satisfy the ADP test safe
harbor under Code ss.401(k)(12)(B) or (C) and which are 100% Vested at all times
and subject to the distribution restrictions described in Section 14.03(d). Safe
harbor contributions are not 100% Vested at all times if the Employee has a 100%
Vested  interest  because of his/her Years of Service taken into account under a
vesting  schedule.  Any nonelective  contributions  allocated to a Participant's
safe harbor contributions Account,  automatically satisfy and are subject to the
definition of safe harbor contributions.

     (s) "Salary reduction  agreement" is a written election by a Participant to
make salary reduction contributions as described in Section 14.02(A).

     (t) "Salary reduction contributions" mean Employer contributions elected by
a  Participant  to be made from the  Participant's  Compensation  pursuant  to a
salary reduction agreement and which the Plan Administrator must allocate to the
electing Participant's Account.

     (u) "Testing  year" means for purposes of the ADP test described in Section
14.08 and the ACP test described in Section  14.09,  the Plan Year for which the
ADP or ACP test is being performed.

     14.04  MATCHING  CONTRIBUTIONS/  EMPLOYEE  CONTRIBUTIONS.  The  Employer in
Adoption Agreement Section 3.01 may elect to provide matching contributions. The
Employer  in  Adoption  Agreement  Section  4.02  also  may  elect  to  permit a
Participant to make Employee contributions.

     14.05 DEFERRAL DEPOSIT  TIMING/EMPLOYER  CONTRIBUTION  STATUS. The Employer
must make salary  reduction  contributions  to the Trust after  withholding  the
corresponding  Compensation  from the  Participant at the earliest date on which
the  contributions  can  reasonably be segregated  from the  Employer's  general
assets.  Furthermore,  the  Employer  must  make to the Trust  salary  reduction
contributions, cash or deferred contributions, matching contributions (including
qualified matching  contributions),  qualified nonelective  contributions,  safe
harbor  contributions and SIMPLE contributions no later than the time prescribed
by the Code or  ERISA.  Salary  reduction  contributions  and  cash or  deferred
contributions  are  Employer  contributions  for all  purposes  under this Plan,
except  to the  extent  the Code  prohibits  the use of these  contributions  to
satisfy the qualification requirements of the Code.

     14.06 SPECIAL  ACCOUNTING AND ALLOCATION  PROVISIONS.  To make  allocations
under the Plan,  the Plan  Administrator  must  establish for each  Participant,
consistent  with the  Employer's  elections  under  its  Adoption  Agreement,  a
deferral contributions Account, a nonelective contributions Account, a qualified
matching  contributions  Account,  a regular matching  contributions  Account, a
qualified nonelective contributions Account, a safe harbor contributions Account
and a SIMPLE contributions account.

     (A) Deferral  contributions.  The Plan  Administrator will allocate to each
Participant's   deferral   contributions   Account   the   amount  of   deferral
contributions the Employer makes to the Trust on behalf of the Participant.  The
Plan  Administrator  will make this  allocation  as of the last day of each Plan
Year or more  frequently as it may determine to be  appropriate  and  consistent
with the Plan terms,  including  those  providing for  allocation of net income,
gain or loss.

     (B)  Matching  contributions.  The Plan  Administrator  will  allocate  the
Employer's  matching  contributions as of the last day of each Plan Year or more
frequently  as the  Plan  Administrator  may  determine  to be  appropriate  and
consistent with the Plan terms,  including those providing for allocation of net
income,  gain or loss.  The Plan  Administrator  may not  allocate  any fixed or
discretionary matching contributions with respect to deferral contributions that
are excess deferrals under Section 14.07. For this purpose: (a) excess deferrals
relate first to deferral  contributions for the Plan Year not otherwise eligible
for a matching  contribution;  and (b) if the Plan Year is not a calendar  year,
the excess deferrals for a Plan Year are the last elective  deferrals made for a
calendar year. The Plan  Administrator may not allocate a matching  contribution
to a Participant's  Account to the extent the matching  contribution exceeds the
Participant's  Annual  Additions  limitation  in  Part  2 of  Article  III.  The
provisions of Section 3.05 govern the treatment of any matching contribution the
Plan  Administrator  allocates  contrary to this Section 14.06(B),  and the Plan
Administrator   will  compute  a  Participant's   ACP  under  Section  14.09  by
disregarding the forfeiture.

     (1) Fixed match.  To the extent the Employer makes  matching  contributions
under a fixed matching contribution formula set forth in the Employer's Adoption
Agreement, the Plan Administrator will allocate the matching contribution to the
Account of the Participant on whose behalf the Employer makes that contribution.
A fixed  matching  contribution  formula is a formula  under which the  Employer
contributes  a specified  percentage or dollar amount on behalf of a Participant
based on that  Participant's  deferral  contributions or Employee  contributions
eligible for a match.  The Employer may  contribute  on a  Participant's  behalf
under a specific matching contribution formula only if the Participant satisfies
the  allocation  conditions  for  matching  contributions,  if any, the Employer
elects  in  Adoption  Agreement  Section  3.06.  The  Employer  in its  Adoption
Agreement  may  elect  whether  the Plan  Administrator  will  allocate  a fixed
matching  contribution  as a  qualified  matching  contribution  or as a regular
matching contribution.

     (2)  Discretionary  match.  To  the  extent  the  Employer  makes  matching
contributions  under  a  discretionary  formula,  the  Plan  Administrator  will
allocate  the  discretionary  matching  contributions  to the  Account  of  each
Participant  who  satisfies  the  allocation  conditions,  if any,  for matching
contributions  the  Employer  elects in Adoption  Agreement  Section  3.06.  The
allocation of discretionary matching contributions to a Participant's Account is
in the same proportion that each  Participant's  deferral  contributions bear to
the total  deferral  contributions  of all  Participants.  If the  discretionary
formula is a tiered formula,  the Plan  Administrator  will make this allocation
separately  with respect to each tier of deferral  contributions,  allocating in
such manner the amount of the matching  contributions  made with respect to that
tier. The Employer  operationally may direct the Plan  Administrator to allocate
any  discretionary  match as a regular  matching  contribution or as a qualified
matching contribution.

     (3)  Match  on  deferrals  and  Employee  contributions.  If  the  matching
contribution  formula  applies  both to deferral  contributions  and to Employee
contributions, the matching contributions apply first to deferral contributions.

     (C)  Qualified  nonelective  contributions.  If the Employer  operationally
designates a nonelective contribution to be a qualified nonelective contribution
for  the  Plan  Year,  the  Plan  Administrator  will  allocate  that  qualified
nonelective  contribution to the qualified nonelective  contributions Account of
each Participant eligible for an allocation of that designated contribution,  as
the Employer elects in Adoption Agreement Section 3.04.

     (D)  Nonelective  contributions.   If  the  Employer  makes  a  nonelective
contribution  for the Plan  Year  which the  Employer  does not  designate  as a
qualified  nonelective  contribution,  the Plan  Administrator will allocate the
nonelective contribution in accordance with Adoption Agreement Section 3.04. For
purposes of the nondiscrimination  tests described in Sections 14.08 (ADP test),
14.09 (ACP test) and 14.10 (multiple use limitation), the Plan Administrator may
treat  nonelective  contributions  allocated  under  this  Section  14.06(D)  as
qualified nonelective contributions,  if the contributions otherwise satisfy the
definition of qualified nonelective  contributions.  The Employer, to facilitate
the Plan Administrator's correction of test failures under Sections 14.08, 14.09
and  14.10,  also  may  make  qualified  nonelective  contributions  to the Plan
irrespective  of whether the Employer in its Adoption  Agreement  has elected to
provide nonelective contributions.

     (E)  Safe  harbor  contributions.  If the  Employer  elects  under  Section
14.02(D) to apply the safe harbor  provisions  to the Plan,  the  Employer  will
allocate the safe harbor contributions to the safe harbor contributions  Account
of each Participant unless the Employer in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement
elects to limit safe harbor allocations to Nonhighly Compensated Employees.

     (F) SIMPLE 401(k) Plan contributions.  If the Employer elects under Section
14.02(E) to apply the SIMPLE 401(k)  provisions  to the Plan,  the Employer will
allocate  the  SIMPLE  contributions  to the  SIMPLE  contributions  Account  of
Participants  eligible  to  receive  an  allocation  of  the  Employer's  SIMPLE
contribution  (including  Participants  who  make  deferral  contributions),  as
specified in Section 14.02(E).

     14.07 ANNUAL ELECTIVE DEFERRAL LIMITATION.

     (A) Annual Elective Deferral  Limitation.  An Employee's elective deferrals
for a  calendar  year may not  exceed  the Code  ss.402(g)  limitation  ("402(g)
limitation").  The 402(g)  limitation  is the greater of $7,000 or the  adjusted
amount  determined by the Secretary of the  Treasury.  If,  pursuant to a salary
reduction  agreement  or pursuant to a cash or deferral  election,  the Employer
determines  the  Employee's  elective  deferrals to the Plan for a calendar year
would exceed the 402(g)  limitation,  the Employer  will suspend the  Employee's
salary  reduction  agreement,  if any, until the following  January 1 and pay in
cash the portion of a deferral  election  which would  result in the  Employee's
elective deferrals for the calendar year exceeding the 402(g) limitation. If the
Plan   Administrator   determines  an  Employee's   elective  deferrals  already
contributed  to the Plan for a calendar year exceed the 402(g)  limitation,  the
Plan Administrator will distribute the amount in excess of the 402(g) limitation
(the  "excess  deferral"),  as  adjusted  for  allocable  income  under  Section
14.07(C),  no later than April 15 of the  following  calendar  year. If the Plan
Administrator  distributes the excess deferral by the appropriate  April 15, the
excess  deferral  is not an Annual  Addition  under  Article  III,  and the Plan
Administrator  may make the  distribution  irrespective  of any other  provision
under this Plan or under the Code. The Plan Administrator will reduce the amount
of excess  deferrals  for a calendar year  distributable  to the Employee by the
amount of  excess  contributions  (as  determined  in  Section  14.08),  if any,
previously  distributed  to the  Employee  for the Plan Year  beginning  in that
calendar year.  Elective  deferrals  distributed to an Employee as excess Annual
Additions in  accordance  with Article III are not taken into account  under the
Employee's 402(g) limitation.

     (B) More than One Plan. If an Employee participates in another plan subject
to the 402(g) limitation under which he/she makes elective deferrals pursuant to
a 401(k) arrangement,  elective deferrals under a SARSEP, elective contributions
under a SIMPLE IRA or salary reduction  contributions to a tax-sheltered annuity
(irrespective  of whether the Employer  maintains the other plan),  the Employee
may provide to the Plan  Administrator a written claim for excess deferrals made
to the Plan for a calendar  year.  The  Employee  must submit the claim no later
than the March 1 following  the close of the  particular  calendar  year and the
claim must specify the amount of the Employee's  elective  deferrals  under this
Plan which are excess  deferrals.  If the Plan  Administrator  receives a timely
claim, it will distribute the excess deferral (as adjusted for allocable income)
the Employee  has assigned to this Plan,  in  accordance  with the  distribution
procedure described in Section 14.07(A).

     (C)  Allocable  Income.  For  purposes of making a  distribution  of excess
deferrals  pursuant to this Section 14.07,  allocable income means net income or
net loss allocable to the excess deferrals for the calendar year (but not beyond
the calendar year) in which the Employee made the excess deferral, determined in
a manner which is uniform,  nondiscriminatory  and reasonably  reflective of the
manner  used by the Plan  Administrator  to  allocate  income  to  Participants'
Accounts.

     14.08 ACTUAL DEFERRAL  PERCENTAGE  (ADP) TEST. For each Plan Year, the Plan
Administrator  must determine  whether the Plan's 401(k)  arrangement  satisfies
either of the following ADP tests:

     (i) The ADP for the Highly Compensated Group does not exceed 1.25 times the
ADP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group; or

     (ii) The ADP for the Highly  Compensated  Group does not exceed the ADP for
the  Nonhighly  Compensated  Group by more than two  percentage  points  (or the
lesser percentage permitted by the multiple use limitation in Section 14.10) and
the ADP for the Highly  Compensated Group is not more than twice the ADP for the
Nonhighly Compensated Group.

     (A)  Calculation of ADP. The ADP for a group is the average of the separate
deferral  percentages  calculated for each eligible  Employee who is a member of
that group. An eligible  Employee's  deferral  percentage for a Plan Year is the
ratio of the eligible Employee's deferral contributions for the Plan Year to the
Employee's  Compensation  for the Plan Year.  In  determining  the ADP, the Plan
Administrator must include any Highly  Compensated  Employee's excess deferrals,
as  described  in  Section  14.07(A),  to this Plan or to any other  Plan of the
Employer and the Plan  Administrator  will  disregard any Nonhighly  Compensated
Employee's excess deferrals. The Plan Administrator operationally may include in
the  ADP  test,  qualified  nonelective  contributions  and  qualified  matching
contributions  the Plan  Administrator  does not use in the ACP  test.  The Plan
Administrator,  under  prior year  testing,  may include  qualified  nonelective
contributions or qualified  matching  contributions in determining the Nonhighly
Compensated  Employee ADP only if the Employer  makes such  contribution  to the
Plan by the end of the testing  year and the Plan  Administrator  allocates  the
contribution  to the prior Plan Year. In  determining  whether the Plan's 401(k)
arrangement  satisfies  either ADP test, the Plan  Administrator  will use prior
year testing, unless the Employer in Adoption Agreement Appendices A or B elects
to use current  year  testing.  An Employer  may not change  from  current  year
testing  to  prior  year  testing  except  as  provided  in the Code or in other
applicable  guidance.  For the first  Plan Year the  Employer  permits  elective
deferrals  and the Plan is not a successor  plan (as  provided in the Code or in
other applicable guidance), under prior year testing, the prior year ADP for the
Nonhighly  Compensated  Group is 3% unless the  Employer  in an  Addendum to its
Adoption  Agreement  elects to use the actual  first year ADP for the  Nonhighly
Compensated Group.

     (B) Special aggregation rule for Highly Compensated Employees. To determine
the  deferral   percentage  of  any  Highly  Compensated   Employee,   the  Plan
Administrator  must take into account any elective  deferrals made by the Highly
Compensated  Employee  under  any other  401(k)  arrangement  maintained  by the
Employer,  unless the elective deferrals are to an ESOP. If the plans containing
the 401(k)  arrangements have different plan years, the Plan  Administrator will
determine  the combined  deferral  contributions  on the basis of the plan years
ending in the same calendar year.

     (C) Aggregation of certain 401(k) arrangements.  If the Employer treats two
or more plans as a single plan for coverage or nondiscrimination  purposes,  the
Employer  must  combine the 401(k)  arrangements  under such plans to  determine
whether the plans satisfy the ADP test. This aggregation rule applies to the ADP
determination  for all eligible  Employees,  irrespective of whether an eligible
Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee or a Nonhighly  Compensated  Employee.
An Employer may aggregate 401(k)  arrangements  under this Section 14.08(C) only
if the  plans  have the same  plan  years and use the same  testing  method.  An
Employer  may not  aggregate  an ESOP (or the  ESOP  portion  of a plan)  with a
non-ESOP  plan (or  non-ESOP  portion of a plan).  If the  Employer  aggregating
401(k) arrangements under this Section 14.08(C) is using prior year testing, the
Plan Administrator must adjust the Nonhighly Compensated Group ADP for the prior
year as provided in the Code or in other applicable guidance.

     (D) Characterization of excess contributions.  If, pursuant to this Section
14.08,  the  Plan  Administrator  has  elected  to  include  qualified  matching
contributions  in the  ADP  test,  the  excess  contributions  are  attributable
proportionately   to   deferral   contributions   and  to   qualified   matching
contributions allocated on the basis of those deferral  contributions.  The Plan
Administrator  will  reduce the amount of excess  contributions  for a Plan Year
distributable to a Highly Compensated Employee by the amount of excess deferrals
(as  determined  in  Section  14.07),  if any,  previously  distributed  to that
Employee for the Employee's taxable year ending in that Plan Year.

     (E)  Distribution  of  excess  contributions.  If  the  Plan  Administrator
determines  the Plan fails to satisfy the ADP test for a Plan Year, the Trustee,
as directed by the Plan Administrator, must distribute the excess contributions,
as adjusted for allocable  income under Section  14.08(F),  during the next Plan
Year.  However,  the Employer may incur an excise tax with respect to the amount
of excess  contributions  for a Plan  Year not  distributed  to the  appropriate
Highly  Compensated  Employees  during  the first 2 1/2 months of that next Plan
Year. The excess contributions are the amount of deferral  contributions made by
the Highly Compensated Employees which causes the Plan to fail the ADP test. The
Plan Administrator  will determine the total amount of the excess  contributions
to the Plan by  starting  with the Highly  Compensated  Employee(s)  who has the
greatest  deferral  percentage,  reducing his/her  deferral  percentage (but not
below the next highest deferral  percentage),  then, if necessary,  reducing the
deferral  percentage of the Highly  Compensated  Employee(s) at the next highest
deferral  percentage  level,  including  the deferral  percentage  of the Highly
Compensated Employee(s) whose deferral percentage the Plan Administrator already
has reduced (but not below the next highest deferral percentage), and continuing
in this manner until the ADP for the Highly  Compensated Group satisfies the ADP
test.

     After the Plan  Administrator has determined the total excess  contribution
amount, the Trustee, as directed by the Plan Administrator, then will distribute
to each  Highly  Compensated  Employee  his/her  respective  share of the excess
contributions.  The Plan  Administrator  will determine each Highly  Compensated
Employee's share of excess contributions by starting with the Highly Compensated
Employee(s)  who has the highest dollar amount of elective  deferrals,  reducing
his/her  elective  deferrals  (but not below the next highest  dollar  amount of
elective deferrals), then, if necessary,  reducing the elective deferrals of the
Highly  Compensated  Employee(s)  at the next highest  dollar amount of elective
deferrals including the elective deferrals of the Highly Compensated Employee(s)
whose  elective  deferrals the Plan  Administrator  already has reduced (but not
below the next highest dollar amount of elective  deferrals),  and continuing in
this manner until the Trustee has distributed all excess contributions.

     (F)  Allocable   income.   To  determine  the  amount  of  the   corrective
distribution  required under this Section  14.08,  the Plan  Administrator  must
calculate the allocable  income for the Plan Year (but not beyond the Plan Year)
in which the excess contributions arose.  "Allocable income" means net income or
net  loss.  To  calculate   allocable   income  for  the  Plan  Year,  the  Plan
Administrator will use a uniform and  nondiscriminatory  method which reasonably
reflects  the  manner  used by the Plan  Administrator  to  allocate  income  to
Participants' Accounts.

     14.09 ACTUAL  CONTRIBUTION  PERCENTAGE  (ACP) TEST. For each Plan Year, the
Plan   Administrator   must  determine  whether  the  annual  Employer  matching
contributions (other than qualified matching  contributions used in the ADP test
under Section 14.08),  if any, and the Employee  contributions,  if any, satisfy
either of the following ACP tests:

     (i) The ACP for the Highly Compensated Group does not exceed 1.25 times the
ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group; or

     (ii) The ACP for the Highly  Compensated  Group does not exceed the ACP for
the  Nonhighly  Compensated  Group by more than two  percentage  points  (or the
lesser percentage permitted by the multiple use limitation in Section 14.10) and
the ACP for the Highly  Compensated Group is not more than twice the ACP for the
Nonhighly Compensated Group.

     (A)  Calculation of ACP. The ACP for a group is the average of the separate
contribution  percentages  calculated for each eligible Employee who is a member
of that group. An eligible Employee's contribution percentage for a Plan Year is
the ratio of the eligible Employee's  aggregate  contributions for the Plan Year
to the Employee's Compensation for the Plan Year. "Aggregate  contributions" are
Employer matching  contributions  (other than qualified  matching  contributions
used in the ADP test under Section 14.08) and Employee contributions (as defined
in Section 14.03). The Plan  Administrator  operationally may include in the ACP
test, qualified nonelective contributions and elective deferrals not used in the
ADP  test.  The Plan  Administrator,  under  prior  year  testing,  may  include
qualified  nonelective  contributions  or qualified  matching  contributions  in
determining  the Nonhighly  Compensated  Employee ACP only if the Employer makes
such  contribution  to the  Plan by the end of the  testing  year  and the  Plan
Administrator  allocates the contribution to the prior Plan Year. In determining
whether the Plan  satisfies  either ACP test,  the Plan  Administrator  will use
prior year testing,  unless the Employer in Appendix A to its Adoption Agreement
elects to use the current year testing.  An Employer may not change from current
year  testing to prior year  testing  except as provided in the Code or in other
applicable  guidance.  For  the  first  Plan  Year  the  Plan  permits  matching
contributions or Employee contributions and the Plan is not a successor plan (as
defined in the Code or in other applicable guidance),  under prior year testing,
the prior year ACP for the Nonhighly Compensated Group is 3% unless the Employer
in an Addendum to its Adoption Agreement elects to use the actual first year ACP
for the Nonhighly Compensated Group.

     (B) Special aggregation rule for Highly Compensated Employees. To determine
the contribution  percentage of any Highly Compensated  Employee,  the aggregate
contributions taken into account must include any matching  contributions (other
than  qualified  matching  contributions  used in the ADP test) and any Employee
contributions  made on  his/her  behalf  to any  other  plan  maintained  by the
Employer,  unless the other plan is an ESOP.  If the plans have  different  plan
years,   the  Plan   Administrator   will   determine  the  combined   aggregate
contributions on the basis of the plan years ending in the same calendar year.

     (C) Aggregation of certain 401(m) arrangements.  If the Employer treats two
or more  plans as a single  for  coverage  or  nondiscrimination  purposes,  the
Employer  must  combine the 401(m)  arrangements  under such plans to  determine
whether the plans satisfy the ACP test. This aggregation rule applies to the ACP
determination  for all eligible  Employees,  irrespective of whether an eligible
Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee or a Nonhighly  Compensated  Employee.
An Employer may aggregate  401(m)  arrangements  under this Section  14.09(C) if
where the plans  have the same plan  year and use the same  testing  method.  An
Employer  may not  aggregate  an ESOP (or the  ESOP  portion  of a plan)  with a
non-ESOP  plan (or  non-ESOP  portion of a plan).  If the  Employer  aggregating
401(m) arrangements under this Section 14.09(C) is using prior year testing, the
Plan Administrator must adjust the Nonhighly Compensated Group ACP for the prior
year as provided in the Code or in other applicable guidance.

     (D) Distribution of excess aggregate contributions.  The Plan Administrator
will determine excess aggregate contributions after determining excess deferrals
under Section 14.07 and excess  contributions  under Section 14.08.  If the Plan
Administrator determines the Plan fails to satisfy the ACP test for a Plan Year,
the Trustee, as directed by the Plan  Administrator,  must distribute the Vested
excess aggregate  contributions,  as adjusted for allocable  income,  during the
next Plan Year.  However,  the  Employer may incur an excise tax with respect to
the amount of excess aggregate  contributions for a Plan Year not distributed to
the appropriate  Highly  Compensated  Employees during the first 2 1/2 months of
that next Plan  Year.  The  excess  aggregate  contributions  are the  amount of
aggregate  contributions allocated on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees
which  causes  the  Plan to fail  the ACP  test.  The  Plan  Administrator  will
determine  the total amount of the excess  aggregate  contributions  by starting
with  the  Highly  Compensated  Employee(s)  who has the  greatest  contribution
percentage,  reducing  his/her  contribution  percentage (but not below the next
highest contribution percentage),  then, if necessary, reducing the contribution
percentage  of  the  Highly   Compensated   Employee(s)   at  the  next  highest
contribution  percentage  level,  including the  contribution  percentage of the
Highly   Compensated   Employee(s)  whose   contribution   percentage  the  Plan
Administrator  already has reduced (but not below the next highest  contribution
percentage),  and  continuing  in this  manner  until  the  ACP  for the  Highly
Compensated Group satisfies the ACP test.

     After the Plan  Administrator  has  determined  the total excess  aggregate
contribution  amount, the Trustee, as directed by the Plan  Administrator,  then
will  distribute  (to the extent  Vested) to each  Highly  Compensated  Employee
his/her  respective  share  of the  excess  aggregate  contributions.  The  Plan
Administrator will determine each Highly Compensated  Employee's share of excess
aggregate  contributions by starting with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) who
has the highest dollar amount of aggregate contributions, reducing the amount of
his/her aggregate contributions (but not below the next highest dollar amount of
the  aggregate  contributions),  then,  if  necessary,  reducing  the  amount of
aggregate  contributions  of the  Highly  Compensated  Employee(s)  at the  next
highest  dollar  amount of  aggregate  contributions,  including  the  aggregate
contributions   of  the   Highly   Compensated   Employee(s)   whose   aggregate
contributions the Plan Administrator already has reduced (but not below the next
highest dollar amount of aggregate contributions), and continuing in this manner
until the Trustee has distributed all excess aggregate contributions.

     (E)  Allocable   income.   To  determine  the  amount  of  the   corrective
distribution  required under this Section  14.09,  the Plan  Administrator  must
calculate the allocable  income for the Plan Year (but not beyond the Plan Year)
in which the excess aggregate  contributions arose. "Allocable income" means net
income or net loss. The Plan  Administrator  will determine  allocable income in
the same manner as described in Section 14.08(F) for excess contributions.

     (F)   Characterization   of  excess  aggregate   contributions.   The  Plan
Administrator  will treat a Highly  Compensated  Employee's  allocable  share of
excess  aggregate   contributions  in  the  following  priority:  (1)  first  as
attributable  to his/her  Employee  contributions,  if any; (2) then as matching
contributions  allocable with respect to excess  contributions  determined under
the ADP test  described  in  Section  14.08;  (3)  then on a pro  rata  basis to
matching  contributions  and to the  deferral  contributions  relating  to those
matching  contributions  which the Plan  Administrator  has  included in the ACP
test; and (4) last to qualified nonelective  contributions used in the ACP test.
To the extent the Highly Compensated  Employee's excess aggregate  contributions
are  attributable  to matching  contributions,  and he/she is not 100% Vested in
his/her  Account  Balance  attributable  to  matching  contributions,  the  Plan
Administrator  will distribute only the Vested portion and forfeit the nonVested
portion.  The  Vested  portion  of  the  Highly  Compensated  Employee's  excess
aggregate  contributions  attributable to Employer matching contributions is the
total amount of such excess aggregate  contributions  (as adjusted for allocable
income)  multiplied by his/her Vested percentage  (determined as of the last day
of the Plan Year for which the Employer made the matching contribution).

     14.10 MULTIPLE USE LIMITATION.  If at least one Highly Compensated Employee
is  includible  in the ADP test  under  Section  14.08 and in the ACP test under
Section  14.09,  the sum of the Highly  Compensated  Group's ADP and ACP may not
exceed the multiple use limitation.

     The multiple use limitation is the sum of (i) and (ii):

     (i) 125% of the greater of: (a) the ADP of the Nonhighly  Compensated Group
for the prior Plan Year; or (b) the ACP of the Nonhighly  Compensated  Group for
the Plan Year  beginning  with or  within  the  prior  Plan  Year of the  401(k)
arrangement.

     (ii) 2% plus the  lesser of (i)(a) or  (i)(b),  but no more than  twice the
lesser of (i)(a) or (i)(b).

     The Plan Administrator,  in lieu of determining the multiple use limitation
as the sum of (i) and (ii),  may elect to determine the multiple use  limitation
as the sum of (iii) and (iv):

     (iii) 125% of the lesser of: (a) the ADP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group
for the prior Plan Year; or (b) the ACP of the Nonhighly  Compensated  Group for
the Plan Year  beginning  with or  within  the  prior  Plan  Year of the  401(k)
arrangement.

     (iv) 2% plus the greater of (iii)(a)  or  (iii)(b),  but no more than twice
the greater of (iii)(a) or (iii)(b).

     If the Employer  has elected in its Adoption  Agreement to use current year
testing,   the  multiple  use  limitation  is  calculated  using  the  Nonhighly
Compensated  Group's  current  Plan  Year  data.  The  Plan  Administrator  will
determine  whether the Plan satisfies the multiple use limitation after applying
the ADP test under  Section 14.08 and the ACP test under Section 14.09 and using
the  deemed  maximum  corrected  ADP and ACP  percentages  in the event the Plan
failed either or both tests.  If, after  applying this Section  14.10,  the Plan
Administrator  determines  the Plan has  failed  to  satisfy  the  multiple  use
limitation,  the Plan  Administrator  will  correct the failure by treating  the
excess amount as excess contributions under Section 14.08 or as excess aggregate
contributions  under Section 14.09, as the Plan Administrator  determines in its
sole discretion.  This Section 14.10 does not apply unless, prior to application
of the multiple use  limitation,  the ADP and the ACP of the Highly  Compensated
Group  each  exceeds  125%  of the  respective  percentages  for  the  Nonhighly
Compensated Group.

     14.11 DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS. The Employer in Adoption Agreement Section
6.01  must  elect  the  distribution   events  permitted  under  the  Plan.  The
distribution  events  applicable  to the  Participant's  deferral  contributions
Account,   qualified  nonelective  contributions  Account,   qualified  matching
contributions  Account  and safe  harbor  contributions  Account  (collectively,
"restricted  balances") must satisfy the distribution  restrictions described in
Section 14.03(d).

     (A)  Hardship   Distributions  from  Deferral  Contributions  Account.  The
Employer must elect in Adoption Agreement Section 6.01 whether a Participant may
receive hardship distribution (as defined in Section 6.09) from his/her deferral
contributions  Account prior to the  Participant's  Separation  from Service.  A
hardship distribution from the deferral  contributions Account also must satisfy
the requirements of this Section 14.11(A).  A hardship  distribution  option may
not  apply  to a  Participant's  qualified  nonelective  contributions  Account,
qualified   matching   contributions   Account,   nor  to  his/her  safe  harbor
contributions Account except as provided in Paragraph (2).

     (1)  Restrictions.  The following  restrictions  apply to a Participant who
receives a hardship  distribution from his/her deferral  contributions  Account:
(a) the Participant may not make elective deferrals or Employee contributions to
the  Plan  for the  12-month  period  following  the  date of  his/her  hardship
distribution;   (b)  the   distribution   may  not  exceed  the  amount  of  the
Participant's   immediate  and  heavy  financial  need  (including  any  amounts
necessary  to pay  any  federal,  state  or  local  income  taxes  or  penalties
reasonably  anticipated to result from the  distribution);  (c) the  Participant
must have obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all
nontaxable loans (determined at the time of the loan) currently  available under
this Plan and all other qualified plans maintained by the Employer;  and (d) the
Participant  must limit elective  deferrals  under this Plan and under any other
qualified plan maintained by the Employer,  for the  Participant's  taxable year
immediately  following  the taxable  year of the hardship  distribution,  to the
402(g) limitation (as described in Section 14.07),  reduced by the amount of the
Participant's  elective  deferrals  made in the  taxable  year  of the  hardship
distribution.  The suspension of elective  deferrals and Employee  contributions
described in clause (a) also must apply to all other  qualified plans and to all
nonqualified plans of deferred  compensation  maintained by the Employer,  other
than any  mandatory  employee  contribution  portion of a defined  benefit plan,
including  stock  option,  stock  purchase  and  other  similar  plans,  but not
including  health or welfare  benefit  plans  (other  than the cash or  deferred
arrangement portion of a cafeteria plan). The Plan Administrator,  absent actual
contrary knowledge,  may rely on a Participant's written representation that the
distribution  is on account of hardship  (as  defined in Section  6.09) and also
satisfies clause (b). In addition,  clause (c) regarding loans does not apply if
the loan to the Participant would increase the Participant's hardship need.

     (2)  Earnings.  A hardship  distribution  may not  include  earnings  on an
Employee's  elective  deferrals  credited  after  December 31,  1988.  Qualified
matching contributions and qualified nonelective contributions, and any earnings
on such  contributions,  credited  as of  December  31,  1988,  are  subject  to
withdrawal  for a hardship  distribution  only if the Employer in an Addendum to
its  Adoption  Agreement  elects to permit such  withdrawals.  The  Addendum may
modify the December 31, 1988, date for purposes of determining credited amounts,
provided the date is not later than the end of the last Plan Year ending  before
July 1, 1989.

     (B)   Distributions   after   Separation   from   Service.   Following  the
Participant's Separation from Service, the distribution events applicable to the
Participant apply equally to all of the Participant's Accounts.

     14.12 SPECIAL  ALLOCATION AND VALUATION  RULES.  If the 401(k)  arrangement
provides  for  salary  reduction  contributions,  if the Plan  accepts  Employee
contributions,  or if the Plan allocates  matching  contributions as of any date
other than the last day of the Plan Year,  the  Employer in  Adoption  Agreement
Sections 9.08 and 10.15 must elect the method the Plan  Administrator will apply
to allocate net income,  gain or loss to such contributions made during the Plan
Year and any alternative  valuation dates for the different  Account types which
the Plan Administrator maintains under the Plan.
