EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

ARTICLE I—PURPOSE

     The purpose of this Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is to provide current tax planning opportunities as well as supplemental funds upon the retirement or death of certain key employees of Employer. It is intended that the Plan will aid in attracting and retaining key employees of exceptional ability by providing them with these benefits.

ARTICLE II—DEFINITIONS

     For the purposes of this Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated, unless the content clearly indicates otherwise:

2.3 Beneficiary

     “Beneficiary” means the person, persons or entity (including, without limitation, any trustee) last designated by a Participant to receive the benefits specified hereunder, in the event of the Participant’s death.

     “Change in Control” of the Company means, and shall be deemed to have occurred upon, the first to occur of any of the following events:

(a) Any “Person” (other than those Persons in control of the Company as of the Effective Date, or other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company) becomes the “Beneficial Owner” of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of (i) the then outstanding shares of the securities of the Company, or (ii) the combined

PAGE 1 — EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     However, in no event shall a “Change in Control” be deemed to have occurred, with respect to the Participant, if the Participant is part of a purchasing group which consummates the Change in Control transaction.

PAGE 8 — EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

ARTICLE VI—PLAN BENEFITS

6.1 Distribution Options

     (a) Form of Payment. Benefits payable due to termination of employment or the death of the Participant may be made in one of the following forms:

     (i) Lump Sum. One (1) lump-sum payment.

     (ii) Installment Payments. Annual installment payments amortized over a period of up to ten (10) years, as elected by the Participant. The first installment payment shall be paid as soon as is administratively feasible after the Participant’s date of termination or death. Subsequent installments shall be paid at the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year based on the remaining vested Account balance as of the immediately preceding December 31, as adjusted for gains or losses, and the remaining number of installment payments. Adjustments for investment gains and losses shall continue on unpaid vested Account balances.

     (iii) If a Participant has made no election, benefit payments shall be paid in annual installments over ten (10) years.

     (iv) Notwithstanding any election made by the Participant, if, on the Participant’s date of termination or date of death, his vested Account balance is less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), such Account shall be paid to the Participant or Beneficiary in a single lump sum.

     (b) Change in Form of Payment. A Participant’s election as to the form of distribution upon termination of employment or death shall be irrevocable; except that a Participant may file a new form of payment election which shall supersede his most recent prior election in accordance with the following: (i) the new election will not take effect until 12 months after the date on which the election is made, and (ii) in the case of an election related to a payment upon termination of employment, the payment (or commencement of payment) with respect to which such election is made will be paid (or payments will commence) five years after the date such payment would otherwise have been paid (or commenced). Installment payments will be treated as a single payment for this purpose. A Participant may file a new form of payment election no more than two (2) times. An election filed within the twelve (12) months preceding termination of employment or death shall be null and void and the next preceding timely election filed by the Participant shall be controlling.

6.2 Commencement of Benefits

     A benefit payment in a single lump sum and the first payment of a series of installment payments shall be paid to the Participant (or Beneficiary, if applicable) as soon as administratively feasible but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the event giving rise to the distribution.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is identified as a “specified employee” under Code section 409A, as determined by the Company using an identification method described in the regulations or other guidance issued under Code section 409A and documented in a duly authorized

PAGE 9 — EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

resolution of the committee of the Company authorized to make such determination, then, to the extent that a payment amount is required to be delayed for six months in order to comply with Code section 409A, such payment amount shall be paid as soon as administratively feasible, but in no event more than 60 days, after the end of the six-month waiting period required under Code section 409A.

6.3 Termination Benefits

     Upon termination of employment, Participant shall receive all vested Termination Account balances in the form elected pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan. If the Participant terminates before the payment date of any Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts, the balance in such Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts shall be paid on termination in a single lump sum.

6.4 Death Benefits

     (a) Pretermination. A Beneficiary shall receive all of the Participant’s Account balances in the form elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan, including any balance in one or more Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts.

     (b) Posttermination. If a Participant dies following the commencement of benefit payments, the Employer shall pay to the Beneficiary any remaining installment payments that would have been paid to the Participant had the Participant survived.

           If a Participant dies after all vested Account balances have been completely distributed, no death benefit shall be payable to the Beneficiary under the Plan.

     (c) Investment Direction. The Beneficiary shall succeed to the Participant’s right to direct investments pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Plan following the Participant’s death.

     (d) Subsequent Beneficiaries. If a Beneficiary who is receiving payments dies before all payments have been paid, any subsequent Beneficiary (as determined and provided for in Article VII) shall be paid any remaining vested Account balances in a lump sum as soon as practical after the death of the first Beneficiary.

6.5 Scheduled Withdrawal

          (a) Commencement and Form of Scheduled Withdrawal. The balance of a Scheduled Withdrawal Account shall be paid in a single lump sum on the date elected by the Participant in the Participation Agreement when the applicable Account was established. In no event shall the payment date be prior to the completion of two (2) Plan Years from the date the applicable Account is established.

          (b) Change of Payment Date. A Participant’s election indicating the date of distribution of a Scheduled Withdrawal Account shall be irrevocable, except that Participant may file a one-time new election which shall supersede his most recent prior election provided (i) the election is made no later than twelve (12) months prior to the date the Account would otherwise be payable and (ii) the new date of distribution is at least five (5) years after the originally scheduled date of distribution. A Participant may file a new election no more than once with regard to the time of distribution of a Scheduled Withdrawal Account. An election filed within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of distribution shall be null and void and the next preceding timely election filed by the Participant shall be controlling.

PAGE 10 — EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

          (c) Termination of Employment Prior to Distribution of Scheduled Withdrawal Account. If a Participant terminates employment or dies prior to payment of such Participant’s Scheduled Withdrawal Account(s), such Account shall be paid pursuant to Section 6.3 or 6.4, as applicable.

6.6 Hardship Distribution

     Upon finding that a Participant or Beneficiary has suffered a Financial Hardship, the Administrative Committee may, in its sole discretion, make distributions from the Participant’s Account prior to the time specified for payment of benefits under the Plan. The Hardship Distribution shall be made ratably from all vested Accounts. The amount of such distribution shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to meet the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s requirements during the Financial Hardship.

     Applications for a Hardship Distribution and determinations thereon by the Administrative Committee shall be in writing, and a Participant or Beneficiary may be required to furnish written proof of the Financial Hardship, as determined by the Administrative Committee in its sole discretion.

     Upon receiving a Hardship Distribution from this Plan, or a hardship distribution from a qualified plan maintained by the Company under Code Section 401(k), a Participant’s Deferral Election shall cease and such Participant shall not participate in the Plan until the first day of the Plan Year following twelve (12) months from the date of the Hardship Distribution.

6.7 Withholding and Payroll Taxes

     The Employer shall withhold from Plan payments any taxes required to be withheld from such payments under federal, state or local law. Such taxes shall be withheld from the Participant’s nondeferred base salary or bonus to the maximum extent possible with any excess being withheld from the Participant’s Elected Deferred Compensation. Each Participant shall bear the ultimate responsibility for payment of all taxes owed under this Plan.

6.8 Payment to Guardian

     If a Plan benefit is payable to a minor or a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property, the Administrative Committee may direct payment to the guardian, conservator, legal representative, or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapacitated person. The Administrative Committee may require proof of minority, incompetency, incapacity, conservatorship or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Administrative Committee from all liability with respect to such benefit.

ARTICLE VII—BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

7.1 Beneficiary Designation

     Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate one (1) or more persons or entities as Beneficiary (both primary as well as secondary) to whom benefits under this Plan shall be paid in the event of Participant’s death prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s vested Account balance. Each Beneficiary designation shall be in a written or through electronic means form prescribed by

PAGE 11 — EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

the Administrative Committee and shall be effective only when filed with the Administrative Committee during the Participant’s lifetime.

     A married Participant’s spouse shall be entitled to fifty percent (50%) interest in any benefit due the Participant unless such spouse waives the right to receive such benefit by executing a written consent acknowledging the effect of the Beneficiary designation, or it is established that such consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located.

7.2 Changing Beneficiary

     Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by an unmarried Participant without the consent of the previously named Beneficiary by the filing of a new Beneficiary designation with the Administrative Committee.

     A married Participant’s Beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant by the filing of a new Beneficiary designation with the Administrative Committee with the consent of the Participant’s spouse as provided for in Section 7.1 above. The filing of a new designation shall supersede all designations previously filed.

7.3 No Beneficiary Designation

     If any Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary in the manner provided above, if the designation is void, or if the Beneficiary dies before the Participant or before complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the person in the first of the following classes in which there is a survivor:

     (a) The Participant’s surviving spouse;

     (b) The Participant’s children in equal shares, except that if any of the children predecease the Participant with surviving issue, then such issue shall take by right of representation;

     (c) The Participant’s estate.

7.4 Effect of Payment

     Payment to the Beneficiary shall completely discharge the Employer’s obligations under this Plan.

ARTICLE VIII—ADMINISTRATION
