This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

All amounts deferred under the Plan that were not yet earned and vested as of December 31, 2004, including earnings and losses credited thereto, shall not be subject to the terms of this Plan but instead, effective January 1, 2005, such amounts shall be subject to the terms of the 2005 Plan.

This Plan shall consist of two plans, one for the benefit of a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Employers as described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, and one for the benefit of Non-Employee members of the boards of directors of any Employer. To the extent required by law, the terms of this Plan applicable to Directors shall also constitute a separate written plan document with its terms set forth in the applicable portions of this Plan.

shares of Stock at an exercise price of $20 per share, when Stock has a current fair market value of $25 per share. Using a Stock-for-Stock Exercise, the Participant would deliver 800 shares of Stock (worth $20,000) to exercise the Eligible Stock Option and receive, in return, 800 shares of Stock plus a Stock Option Gain (in this case, in the form of a credit of 200 Stock Units to the Participant’s Stock Option Account) equal to $5,000 (i.e., the current value of the remaining 200 shares of Stock).

1.62 “Stock Unit” shall mean a notational unit representing the right to receive a share of Stock.

1.63 “Termination Benefit” shall mean the benefit set forth in Section 4.4.

1.64 “Termination of Employment” shall mean the severing of employment with all Employers, or service as a Director of all Employers, voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason other than Retirement, Disability, death or an authorized leave of absence. If a Participant is both an Employee and a Director, a Termination of Employment shall occur only upon the termination of the last position held; provided, however, that such a Participant may elect, at least one (1) year before Termination of Employment and in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Administrator, to be treated for purposes of this Plan as having experienced a Termination of Employment at the time he or she ceases employment with an Employer as an Employee.

1.65 “Trust” shall mean one or more trusts established pursuant to that certain Trust Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2002, between the Company and the trustee named therein, as amended from time to time.

1.66 “Unforeseeable Financial Emergency” shall mean an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an event beyond the control of the Participant that would result in severe financial hardship to the Participant not covered by insurance, liquidation of other assets (to the extent the liquidation itself will not cause severe financial hardship or cessation of deferrals under this Plan, resulting from (i) a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code) of the Participant, (ii) a loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or (iii) such other extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

1.67 “Vesting Date” shall mean, with respect to Restricted Stock deferred hereunder, the date on which the Restricted Stock would vest under the terms of the Equity Plan pursuant to which it was issued and the Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement but for the election to defer such Restricted Stock.

1.68 “Years of Service” shall mean each twelve (12) month period during which a Participant is employed by an Employer, whether or not continuous, and including periods commencing prior to the effective date of this Plan; provided, however, that in the case of a Participant whose employment with an Employer has been interrupted by a period of twelve (12) consecutive months or more (a “Break in Service”), his or her Years of Service prior to such Break in Service shall be disregarded for any purpose under the Plan.

(a) Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus and/or Directors Fees. Subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the Administrator, Participants may elect to defer, under the Plan, Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus and/or Directors Fees. For these elections to be valid with respect to deferrals of Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus and/or Directors Fees, the Election Form must be completed and signed by the Participant, timely delivered to the Administrator no later than September 30 of the year immediately preceding the Plan Year for which the deferral election is to be effective and accepted by the Administrator.

(d) Dividends. Stock Dividends and Non-Stock Dividends (as defined in Section 3.4(f) below) payable with respect to Stock Units allocated to the Participant’s Accounts shall be deferred in accordance with the Participant’s deferral election made in connection with the related deferral of Stock Option Amounts or Restricted Stock Amounts, or deferral of Annual Base Salary, Annual Bonus or Directors Fees into a Measurement Fund denominated in Stock.

(e) Redeferral. A Participant may annually change his or her election to an allowable alternative payout period by submitting a new Election Form to the Administrator, provided, however, that such change shall not be given any effect unless a full calendar year passes between the calendar year in which such Election Form is submitted and the calendar year in which the distribution date designated in such form occurs and the Election Form is accepted by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The Election Form most recently accepted by the Administrator shall govern the payout of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan.

3.2 Minimum Deferrals.

(a) Annual Minimum. For each Plan Year, the annual aggregate minimum deferral amount for each Participant is $5,000. If an election is made for less than such minimum amount, or if no election is made, the amount deferred shall be zero.

(b) Short Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant first becomes a Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, or in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan itself, the minimum Base Annual Salary deferral shall be an amount equal to the minimum set forth above, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of complete months remaining in the Plan Year and the denominator of which is twelve (12).

3.3 Maximum Deferral.

(a) Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus and Directors Fees. For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer, as his or her Annual Deferral Amount, 100% of his or her Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus and/or Directors Fees. A Participant’s Annual Deferral Amount may be automatically reduced if the Committee determines that such action is necessary to meet Federal or State tax withholding obligations.

(b) Stock Option Amounts. For each Eligible Stock Option, a Participant may elect to defer, as his or her Stock Option Amount, 100% of the Stock Option Gain with respect to exercise of the Eligible Stock Option. Stock Option Amounts may also be limited by other terms or conditions set forth in the stock option plan or agreement under which such options are granted.

-10-

(c) Restricted Stock Amounts. A Participant may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock Amounts may also be limited by other terms or conditions set forth in the stock option plan or agreement under which such Restricted Stock is granted.

(d) Deferral Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Plan, no Officer or Director may defer under the Plan Stock Option Amounts and Restricted Stock Amounts to the extent that such deferral would result in such Officer of Director holding Stock and/or Stock Units representing more than (i) one percent (1%) of the Stock of the Company outstanding as of the date this Plan is first adopted by the Board, (ii) one percent (1%) of the Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such deferral, (iii) one percent (1%) of the voting power of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such deferral, or (iv) when taken together with all Stock issuable to Officers and Directors under all other Equity Plans of the Company (other than Equity Plans for which shareholder approval is not required under the applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange), five percent (5%) of the Stock of the Company outstanding as of the date this Plan is first adopted by the Board (the “Deferral Limit”). If necessary, the Administrator may reduce the Stock Option Amount or Restricted Stock Amount deferred, or the amount of any Stock or Non-Stock Dividends to be deferred under the Plan (in which case, such dividends will be distributed to the Participant on a current basis, at any time the Company pays any dividends with respect to the Stock Units to which such excess dividends relate), in order to comply with the Deferral Limit.

3.4 Accounts; Crediting of Deferrals. Solely for record keeping purposes, the Administrator shall establish a Deferral Account, a Company Contribution Account, a Company Matching Account, a Stock Option Account and a Restricted Stock Account for each Participant. A Participant’s Accounts shall be credited with the deferrals made by him or her or on his or her behalf by his or her Employer under this Article 3 and shall be credited (or charged, as the case may be) with the hypothetical or deemed investment earnings and losses determined pursuant to Section 3.6, and charged with distributions made to or with respect to him or her.

(a) Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year, the Base Annual Salary portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld and credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account at the time of each regularly scheduled Base Annual Salary payroll in either the percentages or dollar amounts specified by the Participant in the Election Form, as adjusted from time to time for increases and decreases in Base Annual Salary. The Annual Bonus and/or Directors Fees portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld and credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account at the time the Annual Bonus or Directors Fees are or otherwise would be paid to the Participant, whether or not this occurs during the Plan Year itself.

(b) Annual Company Contribution Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer, in its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount it desires to any Participant’s Company Contribution Account under this Plan, which amount shall be for that Participant the Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or larger than the amount credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other Participants receive an Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The Annual Company Contribution Amount, if any, shall be credited to Participants’ Company Contribution Accounts on the date declared by the Employer.

(c) Annual Company Matching Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer, in its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount it desires to any Participant’s Company Matching Account under this Plan, which amount shall be for that Participant the Annual Company Matching Amount for that Plan Year. The amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or larger than the amount credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other

-11-

Participants receive an Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The Annual Company Contribution Amount, if any, shall be credited to Participants’ Company Matching Accounts on the date declared by the Employer.

(d) Stock Option Amounts. Stock Option Amounts shall be credited/debited to the Participant on the books of the Employer on the Exercise Date. A Participant’s Stock Option Account shall be credited with that number of Stock Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate Stock Option Amount so deferred by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Exercise Date. Participants who elect to defer Stock Option Amounts will have no rights as stockholders of the Company with respect to allocations made to their Stock Option Accounts other than the right to receive dividend allocations as described in Section 3.4(f).

(e) Restricted Stock Amounts. Restricted Stock Amounts shall be credited/debited to the Participant on the books of the Employer in connection with such an election on the Vesting Date. A Participant’s Restricted Stock Account shall be credited with that number of Stock Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount of the Restricted Stock Amount so deferred by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Vesting Date. Participants who elect to defer Restricted Stock Amounts will have no rights as stockholders of the Company with respect to allocations made to their Restricted Stock Accounts other than the right to receive dividend allocations as described in Section 3.4(f).

(f) Dividends. Stock and Non-Stock Dividends payable with respect to Stock Units allocated to a Participant’s Accounts may be credited by the Administrator to the Participant’s Accounts in the form of additional Stock Units or fractional Stock Units as of the date upon which the Company makes such a distribution to its stockholders, as follows:

	(i)		Each of the Participant’s Accounts would be credited with an additional number of Stock Units equal to the number of shares of Stock distributable as a dividend with respect to Stock Units credited to such Account (“Stock Dividends”); and

	(ii)		In the event of a cash dividend or other non-Stock amount distributable with respect to Stock (“Non-Stock Dividends”), each of the Participant’s Accounts would be credited with that number of Stock Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate amount of the Non-Stock Dividend attributable to the Stock Units allocated to such Account by (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date on which such Non-Stock Dividends are paid to the Company’s stockholders.

Alternatively, the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide for Stock or Non-Stock Dividends to be credited to a Participant’s Accounts, including a Participant’s Deferral Account, in a different manner.

3.5 Vesting. A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Deferral Account, Stock Option Account, Restricted Stock Account, Company Contribution Account and Company Matching Account.

3.6 Earnings Credits or Losses. In accordance with, and subject to, the rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, amounts shall be credited or debited to a Participant’s Account Balance in accordance with the following rules:

-12-

(a) Election of Measurement Funds. A Participant, in connection with his or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.1 above, shall elect, on the Election Form, one or more Measurement Fund(s) (as described in Section 3.6(c) below) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to his or her Account Balance, unless changed in accordance with the next sentence. The Participant may (but is not required to) elect, by submitting an Election Form to the Administrator that is accepted by the Administrator, to add or delete one or more Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to his or her Account Balance, or to change the portion of his or her Account Balance allocated to each previously or newly elected Measurement Fund. If an election is made in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall become effective as soon as administratively practicable and shall continue thereafter until changed in accordance with the previous sentence. Changes may be made to allocations at any time during the Plan Year, up to a maximum of six (6) changes per Participant per Plan Year.

(b) Proportionate Allocation. In making any election described in Section 3.6(a) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of whole percentage points (1%), the percentage of his or her Account Balance to be allocated to a Measurement Fund (as if the Participant was making an investment in that Measurement Fund with that portion of his or her Account Balance).

(c) Measurement Funds. The Administrator shall from time to time select types of Measurement Funds and specific Measurement Funds for deemed investment designation by Participants for the purpose of crediting additional amounts to his or her Account Balance. As necessary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund. The Administrator shall notify the Participants of the types of Measurement Funds and the specific Measurement Funds selected from time to time.

(d) Crediting or Debiting Method. The performance of each elected Measurement Fund (either positive or negative) will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, based on the performance of the Measurement Funds themselves. A Participant’s Account Balance shall be credited or debited as frequently as is administratively feasible, but no less often that quarterly, based on the performance of each Measurement Fund selected by the Participant, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

(e) No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Employer or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Employers.

(f) Stock Accounts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, Stock Option Amounts and Restricted Stock Amounts may not be allocated to any Measurement Fund. A Participant’s Stock Option Account and Restricted Stock Account will be credited with any Stock Option Amounts and Restricted Stock Amounts deferred pursuant to Sections 3.4(d) and (e), as applicable, and any dividends deferred pursuant to Section 3.1(d).

-13-

(g) Company Stock Measurement Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to Account Balances which are allocated to any of the Measurement Funds denominated in Stock: (i) no election made by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 19934 (the “Act”) to elect or change Measurement Funds shall be effective if it would subject the Participant to liability under Section 16(b) of the Act and (ii) the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to distribute a Participant’s Account Balance allocated to any of the Stock Measurement Funds either in cash or in Stock, or partially in cash and partially in Stock.

3.7 Distributions. Any distribution with respect to a Participant’s Account Balance shall be charged to the appropriate account as of the date such payment is made by the Employer or the trustee of the Trust which may be established for the Plan.

All distributions from a Participant’s Stock Option Account and Restricted Stock Account shall be in the form of whole shares of Stock equivalent to the whole Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Option Account and Restricted Stock Account. Distributions in respect of fractional Stock Units shall be made in cash. In the case of any Quarterly, Semi-Annual or Annual Installment Method, the precise number of shares delivered in each installment shall be determined in such a manner as to cause each installment to be essentially equal based on the Stock Units credited to the Participant’s accounts as of the date of the first installment, including dividend equivalents credited prior to that date.

If a Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the Participant may petition the Administrator to (i) suspend any deferrals required to be made by a Participant and/or (ii) receive a partial or full payout from the Plan. The payout shall not exceed the lesser of the Participant’s vested Account Balance, calculated as if such Participant were receiving a Termination Benefit, or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. If, subject to the sole discretion of the Administrator, the petition for a suspension and/or payout is approved, suspension shall take effect upon the date of approval and any payout shall be made within sixty (60) days of the date of approval. The payment of any amount under this Section 5.1 shall not be subject to the Deduction Limitation.

5.2 Withdrawal Election.

This election can be made at any time, before or after Retirement, Disability, death or Termination of Employment, and whether or not the Participant (or Beneficiary) is in the process of being paid pursuant to an installment payment schedule. If made before Retirement, Disability or death, a Participant’s Withdrawal Amount shall be his or her vested Account Balance calculated as if there had occurred a Termination of Employment as of the day of the election. No partial withdrawals of the Withdrawal Amount shall be allowed. The Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall make this election by giving the Administrator advance written notice of the election in a form determined from time to time by the Administrator. The Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall be paid the Withdrawal Amount within sixty (60) days of his or her election.

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION

8.1 Termination. Although each Employer anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that any Employer will continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, each Employer reserves the right to discontinue its sponsorship of the Plan and/or to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any or all of its participating Employees and Non-Employee Directors, by action of its board of directors or similar governing body. Upon the termination of the Plan with respect to any Employer, the participation of the affected Participants who are employed by that Employer, or in the service of that Employer as Directors, shall terminate and their Account Balances, determined as if they had experienced a Termination of Employment on the date of Plan termination or, if Plan termination occurs after the date upon which a Participant was eligible to Retire, then with respect to that Participant as if he or she had Retired on the date of Plan termination, shall be paid to the Participants in a lump sum within thirteen (13) months following the plan termination. The termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination; provided, however, that the Employer shall have the right to accelerate installment payments without a premium or prepayment penalty by paying the Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant to a Quarterly, Semi-Annual or Annual Installment Method using fewer months (provided that the present value of all payments that will have been received by a Participant at any given point of time under the different payment schedule shall equal or exceed the present value of all payments that would have been received at that point in time under the original payment schedule).

8.2 Amendment. An Employer may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part with respect to that Employer by the action of its board of directors or similar governing body; provided, however, that no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a Termination of Employment as of the effective date of the amendment or modification or, if the amendment or modification occurs after the date upon which the Participant was eligible to Retire, the Participant had Retired as of the effective date of the amendment or modification. The amendment or modification of the Plan shall not affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or modification; provided, however, that the Employer shall have the right to accelerate installment payments by paying the Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant to a Quarterly, Semi-Annual or Annual Installment Method using fewer quarters (provided that the present value of all payments that will have been received by a Participant at any given point of time under the different payment schedule shall equal or exceed the present value of all payments that would have been received at that point in time under the original payment schedule).

8.3 Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under Article 4 of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a Participant and his or her designated Beneficiaries under this Plan and the Participant’s Plan Agreement shall terminate.

14.5 Sources of Stock. If Stock is credited under the Plan in the Trust in connection with an Eligible Stock Option exercise or in connection with a deferral of Restricted Stock, the shares so credited shall be deemed to have originated, and shall be counted against the number of shares reserved under the Equity Plan under which they were granted.

14.6 Tax Withholding.

(a) Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral Amount is being withheld from a Participant, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary and Bonus that is not being deferred, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on such Annual Deferral Amount.

(e) Participant May Satisfy Tax Obligations in Cash. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may allow a Participant to pay to his or her Employer, in cash, any amounts required to be withheld by the Employer in connection with the Plan in lieu of having such amounts withheld from his or her deferrals or distributions.

14.7 Coordination with Other Benefits. The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Participant’s Employer. The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided.

14.8 Compliance.

14.9 Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and the Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless expressly provided in a written employment agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer, either as an Employee or a Director, or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

14.13 Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.

14.14 Spouse’s Interest.

14.15 Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

14.16 Incompetent. If the Administrator determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Administrator may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Administrator may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

14.17 Court Order. The Administrator is authorized to make any payments directed by court order in any action in which the Plan or the Administrator has been named as a party. In addition, if a court determines that a spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan in connection with a property settlement or otherwise, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, notwithstanding any election made by a Participant, to immediately distribute the spouse’s or former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to that spouse or former spouse.

14.18 Distribution in the Event of Taxation.

(a) In General. If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s benefits under this Plan becomes taxable to the Participant prior to receipt, a Participant may petition the Administrator for a distribution of that portion of his or her benefit that has become taxable. Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, a Participant’s Employer shall distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount equal to the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which amount shall not exceed a Participant’s unpaid Account Balance under the Plan). If the petition is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made within ninety (90) days of the date when the Participant’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the benefits to be paid under this Plan.

(b) Trust. If the Trust terminates in accordance with the provisions of the Trust and benefits are distributed from the Trust to a Participant in accordance with such provisions, the Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be reduced to the extent of such distributions.

14.19 Insurance. The Employers, on their own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in their sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life of the Participant, in such

-26-

amounts and in such forms as the Trust may choose. The Employers or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Employers shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Employers have applied for insurance.

14.20 Status of Company as a REIT. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Participant’s election to the contrary, the Partnership, the Company and the Administrator shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend or terminate this Plan or to take any other action which it or they deem to be necessary or appropriate in order to avoid or cure any impairment of the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 et. seq. of the Code or to avoid or cure any violation of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
