ARTICLE 3: CONTRIBUTIONS AND CREDITS 3.1 PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS AND CREDITS. (a) Compensation Deferrals. In accordance with rules established by the Employer, a Participant may elect to defer Compensation that is yet to be earned and which would otherwise be paid to the Participant. For purposes of this Section 3.1(a) , the term "Compensation" is defined as incentive compensation and/or incentive commissions. A Participant may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her incentive compensation and/or incentive commissions. In order to participate in the Plan, any Participant electing to defer Compensation hereunder for a given Plan Year must make an election to defer at least one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the Plan Year. Amounts so deferred shall be considered a Participant's "Compensation Deferrals" and shall be deducted by the Employer from the Compensation of a deferring Participant and shall be credited to the Account of the deferring Participant. Ordinarily, a Participant shall make such an election with respect to the coming twelve (12)-month Plan Year. The election must be made during the period beginning on November 1 and ending on November 30 of the prior calendar year, or during such other period as may be established by the Employer. 2 (b) Excess 401(k) Amounts. In accordance with rules established by the Employer, a Participant also may elect to defer that portion of compensation which the Participant elected to be contributed on his behalf to the tax-qualified 401(k) plan maintained by the Employer (the "401(k) plan"), but which could not be contributed because of limitations on annual compensation (section 401(a)(17) of the Code) and/or annual additions (section 415 of the Code). For purposes of this Section 3.1(b), the term "compensation" is defined in the same manner as that term is defined in the 401(k) plan. Amounts so deferred also shall be considered a Participant's "Compensation Deferrals" and shall be credited to the Account of the deferring Participant. Ordinarily, a Participant shall make such an election with respect to the coming twelve (12)-month Plan Year. The election must be made during the period beginning on the November 1 and ending on the November 30 of the prior calendar year, or during such other period as may be established by the Employer. (c) Election. The Participant's election with respect to his or her Compensation Deferrals is irrevocable and shall continue in force only for the Plan Year for which the election is effective. (d) Compensation Deferral Account. There shall be established and maintained by the Employer a separate Compensation Deferral Account in the name of each Participant to which shall be credited or debited amounts equal to the Participant's Compensation Deferrals. 3.2 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS (a) Employer Discretionary Contributions. The Employer, from time to time, may credit Participants' Discretionary Sub-accounts with amounts designated by the Employer as "Discretionary Employer Contributions" on behalf of each Participant the Employer decides to grant a discretionary contribution for the Plan Year. (b) Employer Non-Discretionary Contributions The Employer also will credit to each Participant's Employer Contributions Account the following amounts each year: (i) Supplemental 401(k) Employer Contributions. This amount is equal to the amount of contributions (excluding deferral contributions as defined in section 402(e)(3) of the Code) the Employer would have made to the tax-qualified 401(k) plan sponsored by the Employer if there were no limitations on annual compensation (section 401(a)(17) of the Code), annual additions (section 415 of the Code) or non-discrimination (sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code), less such amounts actually contributed by the Employer to the tax-qualified 401(k) plan. (ii) Employer Performance Contributions. This amount is equal to a percentage, determined annually by the Board of Directors, in an amount not to be less than 2% nor greater than 8% of the Participant's annual compensation. For this purpose, annual compensation means a Participant's total annual current cash remuneration, including but not limited to regular salary, incentive compensation awards and any other extraordinary remuneration paid by the Employer to the Participant with respect to his or her service for the Employer (as determined by the Employer, in its discretion). (c) Vesting. A Participant who is credited with at least three (3) years of Service is fully vested in his or her Employer Contributions Account. Participants with fewer than three Years of Service are not vested in their Employer Contributions Accounts. A Participant also is fully vested in his or her Employer Contributions Account if the Participant reaches Retirement 3 Age (age 65), dies or incurs a Disability before he or she terminates employment with the Employer. A Participant is always fully vested in his Compensation Deferral Account. Any Participant who terminates employment with the Employer prior to full vesting shall irrevocably forfeit the portion not vested. The Employer shall retain such forfeitures. (d) Forfeitures for Misconduct. If a Participant separates from service with the Employer as a result of the Participant's gross misconduct, within the meaning of Part 6 of Title I of ERISA, or if the Participant engages in unlawful business competition with the Employer, the Participant shall forfeit all amounts allocated to his or her Employer Contributions Account. The Employer shall retain such forfeitures. ARTICLE 4: CREDITING OF ACCOUNTS 4.1 ALLOCATION OF DEEMED EARNINGS ON DIRECTED ACCOUNTS. Each Participant may direct the Employer as to how his or her Compensation Deferral Account, Discretionary Employer Contributions Account and Supplemental Employer 401(k) Account ("Directed Accounts") shall be deemed to be invested. The Employer may, but is not required to, invest assets held by the Employer on behalf of the Participant pursuant to the deemed investment directions the Employer has properly received from the Participant. The value of the Participant's Directed Accounts shall be equal to the value of the deemed investments specified by the Participant as if the Employer had so invested the Participant Directed Accounts. As of each Valuation Date, the Participant's Directed Accounts will be credited or debited to reflect the Participant's deemed investments since the most recent Valuation Date. The Participant's Directed Accounts will be credited or debited with the increase or decrease in the realizable net asset value of the designated deemed investments, as follows: As of each Valuation Date, an amount equal to the net increase or decrease in realizable net asset value (as determined by the Employer) of each deemed investment option within the Account since the preceding Valuation Date shall be allocated among all Participants' Directed Accounts deemed to be invested in that investment option in accordance with the ratio which the portion of the Account of each Participant which is deemed to be invested within that investment option, determined as provided herein, bears to the aggregate of all amounts deemed to be invested within that investment option. A Participant's deemed investment direction shall designate the whole percentage of each portion of the Participant's Directed Accounts which is requested to be deemed to be invested in categories of deemed investments selected by the Employer, and shall be subject to the following rules: (a) Any initial or subsequent deemed investment direction shall be in writing or, if provided by the Employer, by telephonic and/or electronic transmission, (b) a designation shall be effective as soon as practicable after the direction is received and accepted by the Employer, (c) a Participant may make or change a deemed investment direction only at such time(s) permitted by the Employer, and a deemed investment direction shall continue indefinitely until changed by the Participant in accordance with rules established by the Employer. 4.2 CREDITING OF DEEMED EARNINGS TO EMPLOYER PERFORMANCE ACCOUNT. As of each Valuation Date, the Participant's Employer Performance Account will be credited with earnings equal to a fixed rate of interest, which will be determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors before the commencement of the Plan Year. For the initial Plan Year and until such time as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, the rate of return shall be equal to 8% and shall be compounded annually. 4 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Employer and the Board of Directors reserve the right to reduce the amount credited to a Participant's sub-account to the extent that the amount is required to be disclosed in the annual Proxy Statement of the Employer as mandated pursuant to Regulation S-K, as amended, of the Securities Exchange Commission. 4.3 CREDITING OF DISTRIBUTIONS. As of each Valuation Date, distributions made from the Participant's vested Account since the most recent Valuation Date shall be charged to such Participant's Account and Compensation Deferrals and Employer Contributions made since the most recent Valuation Date shall be credited to the Participant Account as provided in Article 3. 4.4 INTERIM VALUATIONS. If it is determined by the Employer that the value of a Participant's Account as of any date on which distributions are to be made differs materially from the value of the Participant's Account on the prior Valuation Date upon which the distribution is to be based, the Employer, in its discretion, shall have the right to designate any date in the interim as a Valuation Date for the purpose of revaluing the Participant's Account so that the Account will, prior to the distribution, reflect its share of such material difference in value. 4.5 EXPENSES AND TAXES. Expenses associated with the administration or operation of the Plan shall be paid by the Employer. Each Valuation Date, taxes (a) attributable to earnings on actual investments, if any, made by the Employer with respect to its obligation to pay benefits under the Plan to a Participant and (b) which are payable by the Employer since the most recent Valuation Date, shall be charged against the Participant's Account. The Participant's portion of taxes attributable to Employer Contributions and Compensation Deferrals credited for the year on behalf of a Participant, such as Federal social security tax and hospital insurance tax (FICA) and Federal unemployment tax (FUTA), will be withheld from the Participant's wages. ARTICLE 5: PAYMENT OF BENEFITS 5.1 ENTITLEMENT. Upon termination of Employment, death or Disability, a Participant or, if applicable, the Participant's Beneficiary, is entitled to receive or commence receiving payment of the Participant's vested Account. 5.2 TIMING AND MANNER OF PAYMENT. Upon death, Disability or termination of employment, the Participant's vested Account will be paid by the Employer as soon as practicable in a lump-sum payment. However, if the Participant terminates employment after reaching Retirement Age and elects, in writing, at least twelve (12) months prior to termination of employment, the Participant's Account will be paid in up to ten (10) substantially equal annual installments as selected by the Participant if each such annual installment is estimated by the Employer to be at least $1,000. The Participant's written election must be received by the Employer in order to be valid. If payment of the Participant's Account is to be made in installments, the first installment shall be paid to the Participant as soon as practicable after the Participant's termination of employment, and subsequent payments shall be made as soon as practicable after January 1st of each successive Plan Year. Amounts not yet distributed will continue to be adjusted for earnings or losses, as described above. If a Participant is receiving annual installments pursuant to this Section and is re-employed by the Employer, the remaining 5 distributions due to the Participant shall be suspended until such time as the Participant again terminates employment. ARTICLE 6: EARLY PAYMENT OF BENEFITS 6.1 COMPENSATION DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS. Before the beginning of each Plan Year, a Participant may elect, in writing, to have all or a portion of his or her Compensation Deferrals (as adjusted for earnings in the manner set forth above) and which are attributable to the immediately following Plan Year paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the Participant's "fixed payment date". The fixed payment date may not be earlier than the date which is three (3) years after the written election is made and received by the Employer and no later than January 1 of the fifth (5th) Plan Year after the Plan Year to which the election relates. The Participant's election of a "fixed payment date" is irrevocable, except that the Participant may elect, in writing, a later fixed payment date if the subsequent election is made by the Participant at least twelve (12) months prior to the new fixed payment date. If a Participant terminates employment with the Employer before the Participant's fixed payment date, the Participant's Compensation Deferral Account will be paid as soon as practicable after the Participant's termination of employment with the Employer. 6.2 HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event of financial hardship of the Participant, as hereinafter defined, the Participant may request that the Employer distribute all or a portion of his or her vested Account. Upon a finding of financial hardship, the Employer will make the appropriate distribution to the Participant. In no event shall the aggregate amount of the distribution exceed either the full value of the Participant's vested Account or the amount determined by the Employer to be necessary to alleviate the Participant's financial hardship (which distribution may be increased to include any taxes due because of the distribution), and which is not reasonably available from other resources of the Participant. For purposes of this Section, the value of the Participant's vested Account shall be determined as of the date of the distribution. "Financial hardship" means (a) a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent (as defined in Code section 152(a)) of the Participant, (b) loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or (c) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, each as determined by the Employer. 6.3 WITHDRAWALS. A Participant may request a full or partial withdrawal of his or her vested Account, subject to the approval of the Employer. In no event will the withdrawal be greater than 100% of the value of a Participant's vested Account. Any amount paid pursuant to this Section shall be subject to a ten percent (10%) penalty, with the amount of the penalty permanently forfeited from the Participant's Account and returned to the Employer on or about the date of the distribution. ARTICLE 7: BENEFICIARIES; PARTICIPANT DATA 7.1 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES. Each Participant from time to time may designate a beneficiary to receive such benefits as may be payable under the Plan upon or after the Participant's death, and such designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Employer, and will be effective only when filed in writing with the Employer during the Participant's lifetime. 6 7.2 PAYMENT TO ESTATE. In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary validly named by the Participant, the Employer shall pay any such benefit payment to the Participant's spouse, if then living, but otherwise to the Participant's estate. 7.3 INABILITY TO LOCATE PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIARIES/ FOFEITURE. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant or to a Beneficiary at his or her last post office address as shown on the Employer's records shall be binding on the Participant or Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. The Employer shall not be obliged to search for any Participant or Beneficiary beyond the sending of a registered letter to such last known address. If the Employer notifies any Participant or Beneficiary that he or she is entitled to an amount under the Plan and the Participant or Beneficiary fails to claim such amount or make his or her location known to the Employer within one (1) year thereafter, then, except as otherwise required by law, the Participant's Account will be forfeited. ARTICLE 8: ADMINISTRATION 8.1 ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Employer shall have the sole responsibility for and the sole control of the operation and administration of the Plan, and shall have the power and authority to take all action and to make all decisions and interpretations which may be necessary or appropriate in order to administer and operate the Plan, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the power, duty and responsibility to: (a) Resolve and determine all disputes or questions arising under the Plan, and to remedy any ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions in the Plan.

The Employer shall have the power and authority to delegate from time to time by written instrument all or any part of its duties, powers or responsibilities under the Plan, both ministerial and discretionary, as it deems appropriate, to any person or committee, and in the same manner to revoke any such delegation of duties, powers or responsibilities. Any action of such person or committee in the exercise of such delegated duties, powers or responsibilities shall have the same force and effect for all purposes hereunder as if such action had been taken by the Employer. Further, the Employer may authorize one or more persons to execute any certificate or document on behalf of the Employer, in which event any person notified by the Employer of such authorization shall be entitled to accept and conclusively 7 rely upon any such certificate or document executed by such person as representing action by the Employer until such notified person shall have been notified of the revocation of such authority. 8.2 DISCRETIONARY ACTS. Whenever, in the administration or operation of the Plan, discretionary actions by the Employer are required or permitted (including interpretation of the Plan), such actions shall be consistently and uniformly applied to all persons similarly situated, and no such action shall be taken which shall discriminate in favor of any particular person or group of persons.

Any extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date on which the Employer expects to render a decision on the claim. Any claim not granted or denied within the period noted above shall be deemed to have been denied. Any Claimant whose claim is denied, or deemed to have been denied under the preceding sentence (or such Claimant's authorized representative), may, within sixty (60) days after the Claimant's receipt of notice of the denial, or after the date of the deemed denial, request a review of the denial by notice given, in writing, to the Employer. Upon such a request for review, the claim shall be reviewed by the Employer (or its designated representative), which may, but shall not be required to, grant the Claimant a hearing.

The Employer, by action of its Board of Directors, shall have the right to amend the Plan, at any time and with respect to any provisions hereof, and all parties hereto or claiming any interest hereunder shall be bound by such amendment; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive a Participant or a Beneficiary of a right accrued hereunder prior to the date of the amendment. 9.2 EMPLOYER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OR SUSPEND PLAN.
