Plan Accounts
3.1 Establishment

indices selected by that Participant on his or her Investment
Election Form from a range of
investment vehicles authorized by the Plan Administrator. The rate
of return on investment
vehicles shall be tracked solely for the purpose of computing the
amount of benefits payable to
Participants under the Plan. Neither the Company nor any other
Employer shall be obligated to
make any actual investment. A Participant may change the investment
allocations for existing
amounts credited to his or her Plan Account or for future amounts
credited to his or her Plan
Account by completing a new Investment Election Form and submitting

Retirement Contributions
4.1 Amount.
The Retirement Contribution Account of each Participant shall
be credited with a Retirement Contribution based on a percentage of

For
purposes of this Section 4.1, a Participant?s age shall be

of each Plan Year to which the particular Retirement Contribution
relates. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) for the first four Plan Years
that a Participant is an Eligible
Employee, including Plan Years under the Executive Plan, but only
with respect to Eligible
Employees who were eligible to participate in the Plan on the
Effective Date, the Retirement
Contribution shall be limited to 10% of Compensation irrespective
of the Participant?s age, and
(ii) in the case of a Participant who ceases to be an Eligible
Employee during a Plan Year by
reason of death or a Disability, a pro rata portion of the
Retirement Contribution shall be credited
based on the number of months during the Plan Year in which the
Eligible Employee was
employed by the Employer prior to death or Disability. If an
Eligible Employee is rehired by the
Employer after the Effective Date, such Eligible Employee will not
receive any credit for Years
of Service earned prior to such rehire date and such Eligible
Employee will be subject to

Plan Years after his rehire date.
