Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table above; and (c) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. Provided, however, that paragraph (a) and (b) shall not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The average, for a specified group of Participants for a Plan Year, of the ratios (calculated separately for each Participant in such group) of (1) the amount of Employer contributions actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of such Participant for the Plan Year to (2) the Participant's compensation for such Plan Year, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(g)(2). For this purpose, Employer contributions on behalf of any Participant shall include salary reduction contributions, including amounts in excess of the 402(g) limit (as adjusted) described in Section 3.2, but excluding salary reduction contributions that are taken into account in the actual Contribution Percentage test (provided that the Actual Deferral Percentage test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of these 401(k) Contributions). For purposes of computing Actual Deferral Percentages, an Employee who would be a Participant but for the failure to make salary reduction contributions shall be treated as a Participant on whose behalf no salary reduction contributions are made. (ii) Actual Contribution Percentage. The average for a designated group of Employees of the ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in the group) of (1) the sum of (A) the Employer matching contributions paid and credited to the Account of such Employee for a Plan Year, (B) after-tax contributions credited to the Account of such Employee for the Plan Year, and (C) any salary reduction contributions which are to be taken into account for purposes of the Actual Contribution Percentage Test, to (2) such Employee's compensation for such Plan Year, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section1.401(k)-1(g)(2). Salary Reduction Contributions may be used in the Actual Contribution Percentage test provided that the Actual Deferral Percentage test is met before the salary reduction contributions are used in the Actual Contribution Percentage test and continues to be met following the exclusion of those contributions that are used to meet the Actual Contribution Percentage test. (iii) Highly Compensated Employee. The term Highly Compensated Employee shall mean Highly Compensated active Employees and Highly Compensated Former Employees. A Highly Compensated active Employee includes any Employee who performs services for the Company during the determination year and who, during the look-back year: (A) received compensation from the Company in excess of $80,000 (as adjusted pursuant to Code Section 415(d)) and (B) was a five (5) percent owner of the Company. (e) The Plan Administrator shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the Actual Deferral Percentage test and the Actual Contribution Percentage test and the amount of salary reduction contributions, after-tax contributions and Employer matching contributions used in such test. 9 (f) Treatment of Excess Contributions. If Employer matching contributions or salary reduction contributions exceed any of the limits specified in this Section 3.4 for a Plan Year, then the Plan Administrator shall correct such excess in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection (f). (i) Unless the Employer makes sufficient qualified nonelective contributions under Subsection (iv) below, excess contributions and excess aggregate contributions (as defined in subsections (ii) and (iii)below), plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto for the Plan Year in which such excess contributions and excess aggregate contributions occur, such income or loss determined and allocated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(4)(ii), shall be distributed no later than the last day of each Plan Year to Participants to whose Accounts such excess contributions and excess aggregate contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year. Excess contributions and excess aggregate contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions under Section 5.5 of the Plan. (ii) "Excess contributions" shall mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of: (A) The aggregate amount of Employer contributions actually taken into account in computing the Actual Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over (B) The maximum amount of such contributions permitted by the Actual Deferral Percentage test (determined by reducing contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of the Actual Deferral Percentages, beginning with the highest of such percentages). (iii) "Excess aggregate contributions" shall mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of: (A) The aggregate amount of Employer contributions taken into account in computing the numerator of the Actual Contribution Percentage actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over (B) The maximum amount of Employer contributions permitted by the Actual Contribution Percentage test (determined by reducing contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Contribution Percentages beginning with the highest of such percentages). 10 (iv) The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Employer to contribute a qualified nonelective contribution to the Trust in an amount necessary to satisfy any or all of the requirements of Section 3.4. Qualified nonelective contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated to the Accounts of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees in the ratio in which such Participant's Compensation for such Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all such Participants for such Plan Year. To the extent that qualified nonelective contributions are taken into account for the Actual Deferral Percentage test they may not be taken into account for the Actual Contribution Percentage test. For purposes of this Section 3.5(h)(v), "qualified nonelective contributions" shall mean Employer contributions (other than Employer matching contributions)which are allocated to Participants' Accounts; which Participants may not elect to receive in cash until distributed from the Plan; which are nonforfeitable when made; and which are subject to the special distribution requirements of Section 7.4. (vi) An Employer may limit, revoke or amend its agreement to make salary reduction contributions on behalf of any Participant under Sections 3.1 to effect compliance with the nondiscrimination limitations of this Section 3.4. 3.5 Southern Diesel Systems, Inc.

Each Employee or each Participant may elect to make Rollover Contributions to the Plan or to have assets transferred in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer into the Trust Fund representing the Employee's interest in another qualified plan (or individual retirement account) that is 100% vested at the time of transfer. However, a trustee-to-trustee transfer shall not be permitted to the extent such transfer would subject the Plan to the joint and survivor annuity requirements of Code Section 401(a)(11). Any Employee or Participant who elects to make Rollover Contributions shall complete such forms as may be required by the Company. 3.7 Deductible Limit. The total Employer contributions for any Plan Year(including 401(k) Contributions) shall not exceed the maximum amount deductible by the Company for such Plan Year for Federal income tax purposes under Section 404 of the Code. 11 ARTICLE IV - - - - - INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4.1 Investment of Accounts.

(b) Each Participant (and each Employee who makes Rollover Contributions) shall elect, upon becoming a Participant (or making such Rollover Contributions), the manner in which all contributions made to his Account are to be invested in such investment funds as well as the manner in which amounts already accumulated in his Accounts are to be invested. A Participant may direct his Account to be invested in any combination of the investment funds. Such investment election shall remain in force until the Participant changes such election in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan. If a Participant fails to elect the manner in which the contributions to his Account are to be invested, then the contributions to his Account shall be invested in such fund as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, upon notice to the Participant.

The maintenance of Participants' subaccounts is only for accounting purposes, and a segregation of assets of the Trust Fund to each Account shall not be required. 5.2 Allocation Of Earnings To Account. As of each Valuation Date, after the allocation of contributions described in Article III and deduction for distributions since the prior Valuation Date, there shall be allocated to the Participant's Account, by credit or deduction therefrom, as the case may be, a 12 portion of the increase or decrease in the value of the applicable separate investment funds pursuant to Section 4.1 since the preceding Valuation Date attributable to interest, dividends, changes in market value, expenses and gains and losses realized from the sale of assets. Such allocation shall be made in the proportion that each Participant's account balance invested in an investment fund as of the date of the allocation bears to the total of all Participants' account balances invested in such investment fund as of the date of the allocation. 5.3 Allocation Of Employer Matching Contributions and SDS Contributions. Employer matching contributions shall be allocated to the Accounts of the Participants on whose behalf such Employer Matching Contributions were made on the basis of Participants' salary reduction contributions, and SDS Contributions shall be allocated to the Accounts of the Participants who are Southern Diesel Systems, Inc.

The distribution shall be in the amount of the value of the vested percentage of the Participant's Account (determined as of the last Valuation Date immediately preceding distribution) in lump sum or to the extent the Participant's Account had Employee common stock 13 immediately prior to the distribution, in the form of Employer common stock; provided, however, that distributions in Employer common stock shall be applied at the fair market value of the assets distributed on the date of such distribution. The value of fractional shares of Employer common stock will be distributed in cash. (b) If the value of the Participant's Account exceeds $3,500 (effective January 1, 1998, $5,000), except in the case of death, no distribution shall be made prior to the Participant's Normal Retirement Age without the prior written consent of the Participant. (c) If the total value of the Participant's vested Accounts is $3,500(effective January 1, 1998, $5,000) or less as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately following the date of the Participant's Termination of Employment, then his Accounts shall be automatically distributed as soon as practicable after such Valuation Date. (d) A Participant who has been on a period of layoff of at least one year may request to be treated as having a Termination of Employment for purposes of requesting a distribution of his Accounts under the Plan. 7.2 Payment Upon Death of Participant.

The Plan Administrator may establish additional administrative rules with respect to the frequency and timing of withdrawals. ARTICLE IX - - - - - TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS - - - - - - - - - - - 9.1 Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything here in to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply and shall supersede any conflicting Plan provisions with respect to any Plan Year in which this Plan is deemed to be Top-Heavy. 9.2 Determination of Top-Heavy. The Plan will be considered a Top-Heavy Plan for the Plan Year if as of the last day of the initial Plan Year (or for any Plan Year commencing thereafter, as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year), (i) the value of the sum of the 401(k) Savings Accounts, Employer Matching Contribution Accounts, and SDS Contributions Accounts (but not including any allocations to be made as of such last day of the Plan Year except contributions actually made on or before that date) of Participants who are Key Employees (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code but in making such determination considering compensation as defined in Section 1.415-2(d) of the Income Tax Regulations) exceeds 60% of the value of the sum of 401(k) Savings Accounts, Employer Matching Contribution Accounts, and SDS Contributions Accounts (but not including any allocations to be made as of such last day of the Plan Year except contributions actually made on or before that date) of all Participants (the "60% Test") or (ii) the Plan is part of a required aggregation group (as defined below) and the required aggregation group is Top-Heavy. However, and notwithstanding the results of the 60% Test, the Plan shall not be considered a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year in which the Plan is a part of a required or permissive aggregation group (as defined below) which is not Top-Heavy. 9.3 Minimum Benefit. Any minimum benefit required shall be provided under the Employers' defined benefit plan(s). 22 9.4 Impact on Maximum Benefits. For Plan Years prior to January 1, 2000, in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, Section 5.5 shall be read by substituting the number "1.00" for the number "1.25" wherever it appears therein, except such substitution shall not have the effect of reducing any benefit accrued under a defined benefit plan prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which this provision becomes applicable. After December 31, 1999, this Section 9.4 shall be void and be of no force or effect. 9.5 Aggregation With Other Plans. (a) Required Aggregation. If a Key Employee under this Plan also participates in another plan of the Employers which is qualified under Code Section 401(a) or if this Plan and another plan must be aggregated so that either this Plan or the other plan will meet the non-discrimination and coverage requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410, then this Plan and any such other plan will be aggregated for purposes of determining Top-Heaviness. This Plan will automatically be deemed Top-Heavy if such required aggregation of plans is Top-Heavy as a group and will automatically be deemed not Top-Heavy if such required aggregate of plans is not Top-Heavy as a group. (b) Permissive Aggregation. Any other plan of the Employers which is qualified under Code Section 401(a) or which is a simplified employee pension plan under Code Section 408(k),and which is not in the required aggregation referenced in (a)above, may be aggregated with this Plan (and with any other plan(s) in the required aggregation group in (a) above) for purposes of determining Top-Heaviness if such aggregation would continue to meet the non-discrimination and coverage requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4)and 410. This Plan will automatically be deemed not Top-Heavy if such permissive aggregation of plans is not Top-Heavy as a group. (c) Determining Aggregate Top-Heavy Status. The Top-Heavy status of the plans as a group is determined by aggregating the plans' respective Top-Heavy determinations that are made as of determination dates that fall within the same calendar year.

The notice of extension will include a statement of the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render its final decision. However, that extension may not exceed 90 days after the end of the initial period. If the Plan Administrator rejects an application for failure to furnish necessary material or information, the written notice to the applicant will explain what more is needed and why, and will tell the applicant that he may refile a proper application. (b) If a claim is denied or if the Plan Administrator does not act on an application within 90 days of its delivery, the applicant may appeal by delivering a written notice to the Plan Administrator specifying the reasons for the appeal. That notice must be delivered within 60 days after receiving the Plan Administrator's notice of denial or, if no notice of denial was received, within 150 days after the claim was filed. If he appeals, the applicant may review pertinent documents at any reasonable time and place specified by the Retirement Committee and may submit any additional written material pertinent to the appeal.

If special circumstances require an extension of time, the Retirement Committee will notify the applicant by written notice that a decision will be made as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the notice of appeal. The applicant may appear before the Retirement Committee to present his claim. The Retirement Committee's decision will be in writing and will state clearly the reasons for the decision, including specific reference to Plan provisions supporting the decision. The applicant may deem a claim denied if a decision is not furnished within the time prescribed above.
