(b)

all income attributable to such investments, if any,

shall remain at all times solely the property and rights of the Company (without being restricted to the provision of benefits under the Plan), subject only to the claims of the Company’s general creditors.

3.

ADJUSTMENT TO ACCOUNTS

Earnings Adjustments.

Establishment of Investment Account.  The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish an investment account with respect to the Plan (the “Investment Account”), which account shall be under the investment direction of such investment advisors and investment managers as may, from time to time be designated (or otherwise appointed) by the Compensation Committee for such purpose.  Although the Investment Account, to the extent in fact established by the Compensation Committee, is to be maintained with respect to the Plan, the Investment Account shall be maintained in the name of the Company and, in connection therewith:

(i)

all benefits otherwise payable to any Participant, or Beneficiary, shall be payable solely from the general assets of the Company, and to that extent, each Participant and Beneficiary shall be a general creditor of the Company,

(ii)

any Participant or Beneficiary shall have no claim or right to any of the assets held in the Investment Account (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes of this subsection (a), any portion of such assets which may be attributable to investment gains), other than any claim which such person may otherwise have as a general creditor of the Company,

(iii)

all assets held in the Investment Account shall remain at all times solely the property of the Company (without being restricted to the provision of benefits under the Plan), subject only to the claims of the Company’s general creditors, and

(iv)

the Compensation Committee may at any time, and from time to time, and without any requirement of giving any notice whatsoever to Participants (or Beneficiaries) transfer assets out of the Investment Account, or terminate the Investment Account in its entirety.

(b)

Transferring Assets to the Investment Account.  To the extent determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, the Compensation Committee shall have the right, but not the obligation, with respect to any given Plan Year, to from time to time transfer to the Investment Account assets equal to all, or any portion, of the aggregate Annual Awards with respect to such Plan Year.  Any such transfer of assets with respect to the Annual Awards with respect to any given Plan Year shall be made no earlier than the date as of which such Annual Awards are deemed granted pursuant to Section 2.1(c).





8


(c)

Earnings Adjustment Based Upon Performance of the Investment Account.  To the extent that assets equal to all, or any portion, of any given Participant’s Annual Award for any given Plan Year are, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this  Section 3.1, then held under the Investment Account, the Account established for such person shall, from time to time as determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, be adjusted by the Compensation Committee (or by such other third party as may be appointed by the Compensation Committee, for such purpose) to reflect the actual investment performance, either positive or negative of the Investment Account for the period then ending.  The investment performance of the Investment Account shall be determined after taking into account the expenses, as determined by the Compensation Committee (or by such other third party as may be appointed by the Compensation Committee, for such purpose) of maintaining the Investment Account (including, for such purpose, the fees and expenses of any investment advisors, investment managers and any other third parties providing services in connection with the Investment Account).

(d)

Earnings Adjustment Based Upon Deemed Interest Rate.  To the extent that assets equal to all, or any portion, of any given Participant’s Annual Award for any given Plan Year are not, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, then held under the Investment Account, the Account established for such person shall,  from time to time as determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, be increased so as to reflect a “deemed” interest adjustment, based upon a “deemed” interest rate of 7%; provided, however, that such an adjustment with respect to any given Plan Year shall in no event be made with respect to any periods prior to the date as of which such Participant’s Annual Award with respect to such Plan Year was deemed granted pursuant to Section 2.1(c).

(e)

Recommendations by the Plan Administrator.  Prior to making any determinations, making any selections or otherwise taking any other actions, under any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, the Compensation Committee may, but in no event is required to, take into account any recommendations which may be made by the Plan Administrator in connection therewith.

3.2.

Distribution Adjustments.  Each Participant’s Account shall be reduced for distributions made in accordance with the provisions of Article V.

3.3.

Forfeiture of Accounts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article III, or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary:

(a)

in the event that a Participant’s Separation from Service is on account of the termination of such person’s employment by the Company for Cause, such person’s entire Account balance (including any portion which is then otherwise vested pursuant to the provisions of Article 4) shall be forfeited, and neither the Participant (nor any other person) shall thereupon be entitled to any benefits under the Plan, and





9


(b)

in the event that, following a Participant’s Separation from Service for any other reason, such person fails to comply with the Non-Competition Restrictions or the Non-Solicitation Restrictions, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in the Plan Administrator’s sole and absolute discretion, to forfeit all (or any portion) of such person’s entire Account balance (including any portion which is then otherwise vested pursuant to the provisions of Article 4), and the amount of the benefit (if any) to which the Participant (or any other person) shall thereupon be entitled to under the Plan shall be determined solely with reference to the portion of such Account balance, to the extent otherwise vested, which has not been so forfeited (as thereafter adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1).

3.4.

Account Statements.  Each Participant shall, at least annually, receive a statement showing such person’s Account Balance.   The amounts shown on each such statement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all earnings adjustment reflected therein) shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Plan.

5.2.

5.3.

APPENDIX I


Retirement Benefit Guidelines


A participant's retirement benefit is based upon the lump sum equivalent of a hypothetical annual benefit commencing at the later of age 63 or the completion of 20 years of service.  The hypothetical annual retirement benefit is equal to 40% of the average of a participant's projected final five years of compensation.  For this purpose, compensation is defined as base salary plus the lesser of (a) 100% of the participant’s targeted bonus or (b) 50% of a participant’s base salary, and does not include any other forms of compensation.  The projected final average compensation is based upon current compensation increased at 4% per annum.  The annual contribution is equal to the amount that, assuming a 7% annual investment return, would have to be invested to accumulate the lump sum equivalent at retirement.  In fact, the actual retirement benefit will be equal to the value of the annual contributions adjusted for investment gains or losses.
