Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan that may be construed to the contrary, if an Executive who elects the Salary Continuation Benefit provided for by this Section 6(c)(ii) dies after his or her Retirement but before his or her Salary Continuation Benefit is paid in full, the Executive's unpaid Salary Continuation Benefit payments shall continue and shall be paid to the Executive's Beneficiary over the remaining number of months and in the same amounts as the Salary Continuation Benefit payments would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived. The Executive acknowledges that he or she and/or his or her Beneficiary will be considered to have taxable compensation income attributable to the Salary Continuation Benefit payments under this Section 6(c)(ii). The Executive's Plan Agreement shall terminate when the final Salary Continuation Benefit payment is made to the Executive or the Executive's Beneficiary.

The six-month delayed referred to in this Section 6(f) shall apply only to the extent the Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Code section 409A, and the Lump Sum Benefit referred to herein shall be paid immediately upon Termination of Employment or Retirement to the extent the Executive is not a specified employee (e.g., because the Company's stock is not publicly traded on an established securities market).

Withholding; Income and Employment Taxes.

(a)
Prior to the Endorsement Termination Date, if the Executive has an economic benefit under this Plan, the Company shall withhold from that Executive's cash compensation, or the Beneficiary's payment, in a manner determined by the Company, the Executive's or Beneficiary's share of all federal, state and local income taxes, FICA and other employment taxes on such economic benefit.

(b)
The Company, or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any Benefit accruals or payments made to an Executive or his or her Beneficiary under this Plan all federal, state and local income taxes, FICA and other employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company, or the trustee of the Trust, in connection with such Benefit payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company and the trustee of the Trust.

12.
Protective Provisions.    The Executive will cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Company in order to facilitate the payments of benefits hereunder, taking such physical examinations as the Company may deem necessary and taking such other action as may be required by the Company. If any Executive commits suicide during the two-year period commencing upon the date of his or her Plan Agreement, or if an Executive makes any material misstatements of information or nondisclosure of medical history, then no benefits shall be payable hereunder, or, in the sole discretion of the Company's board of directors, benefits may be payable in a reduced amount.

13.
Amendment of Plan; Termination.    This Plan shall not be modified or amended except by a writing signed by the Company and the Executive. Except as otherwise provided in the next sentence, either party may terminate this Plan, and Executive's participation in the Plan, at any time, provided that the obligations of the party terminating the Plan and the Plan with respect to the Executive are performed in full under the Plan as of the time of the termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Plan that may be construed to the contrary, upon and after a Change in Control Event, neither this Plan, nor the Executive's participation in this Plan, may be terminated by the Company without the express written consent of the Executive, which consent may be unreasonably withheld.

14.
Binding Plan.    This Plan shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon, and be enforceable by the heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns of each party to this Plan.

15.
State Law.    Except to the extent preempted by ERISA, this Plan shall be subject to and be construed under the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

16.
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 of this Plan, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted in this Plan.

17.
Not a Contract of Employment.    The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and the Executive. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an "at will" employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, with or without cause, unless expressly provided in a separate written employment Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give the Executive the right to be retained in the service of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discipline or discharge the Executive at any time.

18.

19.
Unsecured General Creditor.    Executives and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Company. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of the Company's assets shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

13


20.
Discharge of Obligations.    The full payment of Benefits due under the Plan to an Executive or his or her Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge the Company from all further obligations under the Plan with respect to the Executive and his or her Beneficiary, and the Executive's Plan Agreement shall terminate upon such full payment of Benefits.

21.
Legal Fees To Enforce Rights After Change in Control Event.    The Company is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, the board of directors of the Company (which might then be composed of new members) or a shareholder of the Company or of any successor corporation might then cause or attempt to cause the Company or such successor to refuse to comply with its obligations under the Plan and might cause or attempt to cause the Company to institute, or may institute, litigation seeking to deny the Executive the benefits intended under the Plan. In these circumstances, the purpose of the Plan could be frustrated. Accordingly, if, following a Change in Control Event, it should appear to any Executive or the Administrator that the Company or any successor corporation has failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Plan or any agreement thereunder or, if the Company or any other person takes any action to declare the Plan void or unenforceable or institutes any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from any Executive the benefits intended to be provided, then the Company irrevocably authorizes such Executive or the Administrator or both to retain counsel of his or her or their choice(s) at the expense of the Company to represent such Executive or the Administrator or both, as the case may be, in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company, or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction. The Executive or the Administrator or both, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive advances from the Company promptly on demand in the amount of the attorney's fees and expenses incurred in accordance with this Section 21. In all events, any payments made pursuant to this Section 21 shall be made no later than the end of the year following the year in which the related expense is incurred.

22.
Entire Plan.    This Plan constitutes the entire Plan between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter of this Plan and supersedes all previous negotiations, Plans and commitments in respect thereto. No oral explanation or oral information by either of the parties to this Plan shall alter the meaning or interpretation of this Plan. This Plan may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by the Company and the Executive
