ARTICLE III

Eligibility for Severance Benefits

     An Employee shall only be eligible to receive Severance Benefits under this Plan if he satisfies the requirements of Section 3.1(a)(1) below. The amount and form of any Severance Benefits shall be determined in accordance with Article IV.

     3.1 Eligibility Requirements.

          (a) Termination of Employment

               (1) An Employee whose employment with the Employer is terminated shall be eligible for Severance Benefits hereunder if his termination is due to one of the following events:

                    (A) a reduction in the Employer’s work force;

                    (B) the reorganization or restructuring of the Employer;

                    (C) changes in the Employer’s operating requirements; or

                    (D) certain other circumstances specified or determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of termination where an Employee loses his position through no fault of his own and where his termination is not attributable to any willful cause.

          Any Employee who loses his or her job as a result of the sale of the assets or business of the Employer, or any division or subsidiary of the Employer, shall be eligible to receive benefits under this Plan only in the discretion of the Plan Administrator.

               (2) Employees will not be eligible for Severance Benefits pay if they:

                    (A) leave employment with the Employer voluntarily;

                    (B) are terminated for cause or misconduct;

                    (C) retire from the Employer under conditions not involving elimination or termination of their job or position; or

                    (D) terminate employment due to accident, death or illness.

               (3) The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary right and final authority to make any necessary determinations of eligibility based on the factors discussed in (a)(1) and (2) above.

          (b) Severance Agreement. If an Employee satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 3.1(a)(1) above, and executes and does not revoke the Severance Agreement, the Employee shall be eligible to receive Additional Severance Pay, described in Section 4.1(b) of this Plan. The Severance Agreement shall be executed at such time and in such manner as may be specified by the Plan Administrator, provided that eligible Employees shall be given a period of twenty-one (21) days after they have been provided the agreement to consider whether to sign the agreement. This period shall be extended to forty-five (45) days for persons who are 40 years of age or older and who are terminated as part of a force reduction, reorganization or other situation involving a “group termination.” All Employees shall have the right to revoke the signed Severance Agreement for seven (7) days after the date of the execution of such agreement.

          (c) Return of Employer Property. All Employees, in order to be eligible to receive and continue receiving Severance Benefits, must return to the Employer all property of the Employer which is in the possession, custody or control of the Employee. Such property includes, but is not limited to, all materials, documents, plans, records or papers and any copies of such documents which relate in any way to the affairs of the Employer. Such property further includes, but is not limited to, all tools, telephones, computers, vehicles, credit cards, Guideline

Manuals, and all monies due the Employer. The Plan Administrator reserves the right to deny or cease or initiate recovery of any payment of a Participant’s benefits, if the Plan Administrator determines that a Participant has not complied with this section.

ARTICLE IV

Amount and Form of Severance Benefits

     When an Employee satisfies the eligibility requirements of Article III and becomes a Participant in the Plan, he shall be entitled to the Severance Benefits set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 below.

     4.1 Severance Pay.

          (a) Standard Severance Pay. All Participants are entitled to receive Standard Severance Pay which shall equal one (1) week of Base Pay.

          (b) Additional Severance Pay. In addition to the Standard Severance Pay of one week mentioned in 4.1(a) above, an Employee shall be eligible to receive Additional Severance Pay if in addition to satisfying the requirements of Section 3.1, the Employee has one Year of Service with the Employer and the Employee executes and does not revoke the Severance Agreement as defined in Section 2.1(u). For the purpose of determining only whether an Employee is initially eligible for Additional Severance Pay, a Year of Service is a complete continuous twelve calendar-month period, determined without the rounding up of any fractional months of employment as provided in Section 2.1(z), during which the Employee has Service. Once an Employee is determined to be eligible for Additional Severance Pay, “Years of Service,” as defined in Section 2.1(z) of the Plan, shall be used to determine the amount of Additional Severance Pay that a Participant is entitled to receive under this Section.

               A Participant’s Additional Severance Pay shall be equal to the greater of:

               (1) The Effective Date Severance Benefit to which the Participant would be entitled to receive based solely on the Participant’s Years of Service as of the Effective Date, 5/1/93; or

               (2) The Alternative Severance Benefit based on the Participant’s Years of Service as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment under Section 3.1.

               The Effective Date Severance Benefit and Alternative Severance Benefit based on varying Years of Service are contained in the following chart:

               Effective Date, 5/1/93, at the level reached on the Effective Date. Such Employees are entitled to the Effective Date Severance Benefit until the Alternative Severance Benefit exceeds the Effective Date Severance Benefit based on the Employee’s Years of Service.

EXAMPLE:

An Employee began work on 1-20-88 and at 5-1-93 has 5 Years of Service (actually 5 years and 3 months). This Employee’s Effective Date Severance Benefit is frozen at 9

			weeks. The Employee is then terminated on 8-1-99 with 12 Years of Service. This Employee is entitled to the greater of 9 weeks under the Effective Date Severance Benefit or 15 weeks under the Alternative Severance Benefit; therefore the Employee receives 15 weeks of Additional Severance Pay (and 1 week of Standard Severance Pay).
	EXAMPLE:		An Employee beginning work on or after the Effective Date is entitled only to the Alternative Severance Benefit.

          (c) Earlier Termination and Recovery of Additional Severance Pay. The Employer reserves the absolute right to terminate the payment of Additional Severance Pay and to recover any amount of Additional Severance Pay previously paid if the Employee:

               (i) fails to cooperate in the efficient or orderly transfer of the Employee’s duties or responsibilities to other employees; or

               (ii) if at any time, takes any action contrary to the best interests of the Employer, including, but not limited to the following:

                    (a) any action that harms the reputation of the Employer with its customers or the public;

                    (b) any action that interferes with existing contractual relationships with customers;

                    (c) solicitation of business or contracts from any of the Employer’s clients or customers;

                    (d) usage or disclosure of any proprietary or confidential information or trade secret obtained while an Employee of the Employer;

                    (e) any violation of the Severance Agreement or any other agreement entered into between the Employee and Employer; and

                    (f) any other action or conduct which, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, is contrary to the best interest of the Company.

               (iii) files any claims or suits against the Employer (other than to enforce his rights under this Plan).

          (d) Payment of Benefits. Standard Severance Pay shall be paid at Participant’s Exit Interview, as described in Section 4.2, below. Additional Severance Pay shall commence on the first regular payday of the Employer following receipt by the Employer of the Employee’s executed Severance Agreement and expiration of the seven (7) day revocation period. Additional Severance Pay shall be payable on regular paydays of the Employer at the same rate per week as Base Pay or in a lump sum at the option of the Employer. All Severance Pay, including Standard Severance Pay and Additional Severance Pay, shall be paid less deductions for applicable local, state and federal taxes, and other legally required deductions. In addition, all Severance Pay is payable to eligible Participants in addition to any regular salary earned through an Employee’s Severance Date and in addition to pay for any earned vacation which has not been paid. All Severance Pay, however, shall be reduced by the amount of any unemployment compensation benefits received by Employees. The payment of any Severance Pay under this Article IV shall cease on the date of death of the Participant, and no survivor benefit is payable. The Plan Administrator may elect, in its discretion, to make payments of Severance Pay in a lump sum. The amount of Severance Pay will be offset by the amount (if any) a Participant receives pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN).

     4.2 Exit Interview. Each eligible Employee shall have an Exit Interview with the Employer at which time the Employer will explain the reason for the Employee’s termination. The Employer shall pay the Employee any salary earned through the Employee’s Severance Date, as described in Section 4.1(d), including any accrued, but unused vacation. At this meeting, the Employer shall also pay the Employee’s Standard Severance Benefit, as described in Section 4.1(a) and 4.1(d). At the Exit Interview, the Employee also shall return all Employer property, as provided in Section 3.1(c) of this Plan. Further, the Employee will be given the opportunity to ask questions regarding the Employer’s insurance programs and profit sharing programs. Employees will also be provided a Severance Agreement at this meeting. Any Employee who elects not to receive such an exit interview, will receive a summary of the Plan’s benefits along with a Severance Agreement in the United States certified mail.

     4.3 Other Benefits. With the exception of the benefits provided under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, the Employer-paid benefits provided to a Participant shall cease as of the Participant’s Severance Date.

ARTICLE V

Plan Financing

     No assets of the Employer shall be specifically set aside for the payment of benefits under this Plan. Any benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid solely out of the general assets of the Employer, and the obligation of any Employer is simply an obligation to make payments according to the terms and conditions of this Plan. A Participant’s right to any payments hereunder shall be the same as that of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer.

ARTICLE VI

Administration

     6.1 Allocation of Responsibility Among Fiduciary for Plan Administration. The Fiduciaries shall have only those powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations as are specifically given or delegated to them under this Plan. The Employer shall have the sole responsibility for paying the benefits under this Plan described in Articles III and IV, and the Corporation shall have the sole authority to appoint and remove the Plan Administrator, and to amend or terminate this Plan in whole or in part. The Plan Administrator shall have the sole responsibility for the administration of the Plan, which responsibility is specifically described herein.

     6.2 Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator which may appoint or employ individuals to assist in the administration of the Plan and which may appoint or employ any other agents it deems advisable, including legal counsel and auditors, to serve at the Plan Administrator’s direction. All usual and reasonable expenses of the Plan Administrator in administering the Plan shall be paid in whole or in part by the Employer.

     6.3 Claims Procedure. The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretionary authority to construe and to interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility for benefits and to determine the amount of such benefits, and its decisions on such matters are final and conclusive. Any exercise of this discretionary authority shall be reviewed by a court under the arbitrary and capricious standard (i.e., the abuse of discretion standard). If, pursuant to this discretionary authority, any written claim to any right to a benefit by an Employee is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator, or a party designated by the Plan Administrator, will provide such claimant, within the 90-day period following the receipt of the Employee’s written

claim by the Plan Administrator, a comprehensible written notice (a copy of a sample written notice is attached hereto as Appendix C) setting forth:

          (a) The specific reason or reasons for such denial;

          (b) Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

          (c) A description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to submit to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

          (d) A description of the Plan’s claim review procedure. The claim review procedure is available upon written request by the claimant to the Plan Administrator, or the designated party, within 60 days after receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim, and includes the right to examine pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing to the Plan Administrator, or the designated party. The decision on review shall be made within 60 days after receipt of the request for review, unless circumstances warrant an extension of time not to exceed an additional 60 days, and shall be in writing and drafted in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and include specific reasons for the decision with references to the specific Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

     If within a reasonable period of time after the Plan receives the written claim asserted by the Employee, the Plan Administrator, or the designated party, fails to provide a comprehensible written notice stating that the claim is wholly or partially denied and setting forth the information described in (a) through (d) above, the claim shall be deemed denied. Once the claim is deemed denied, the Employee shall be-entitled to the claim review procedure described in subsection (d)

above. Such review procedure shall be available upon written request by the claimant to the Plan Administrator, or the designated party, within 60 days after the claim is deemed denied.

     6.4 Other Administrative Powers and Duties. The Plan Administrator shall have such powers and duties as may be necessary to discharge its functions hereunder, including but not limited to:

          (a) To exercise its discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan, decide all questions of eligibility and determine the amount, manner and time of payment of any benefits hereunder;

          (b) To prescribe procedures to be followed by Employees requesting benefits;

          (c) To prepare and distribute, in such manner as the Plan Administrator determines to be appropriate, information explaining the Plan;

          (d) To receive from Employees and agents and from the Employer such information as shall be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan;

          (e) To appoint or employ individuals or other parties to assist in the administration of the Plan and any other agents it deems advisable, including accountants and legal counsel; and

          (f) To delegate to other persons or entities, or to designate or employ persons to carry out any of the Plan Administrator’s fiduciary duties or responsibilities or other functions under the Plan.

     6.5 Authorization of Benefit Payments. The Plan Administrator shall issue directions to the Employers concerning all benefits which are to be paid pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, and shall warrant that all such directions are in accordance with this Plan.

     6.6 Facility of Payment. Whenever, in the Plan Administrator’s opinion, a Participant entitled to receive any payment of a benefit or installment thereof hereunder is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs, the Plan Administrator may direct the Participant’s Employer to make payments to such person or to the, legal representative of such person for his benefit, or the Plan Administrator may direct the Participant’s Employer to apply the payment for the benefit of such person in such manner as the Plan Administrator considers advisable. Any payment of a benefit or installment thereof in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be a complete discharge of any liability for the making of such payment under the provisions of the Plan.

ARTICLE VII

Amendment of the Plan

     The Corporation shall have the absolute right at any time by instrument in writing to modify, alter or amend the Plan in whole or in part, retroactively or otherwise, including, without limitation, the benefits provided under the Plan. Provided, however, no such amendment shall diminish any payment of Severance Pay that a Participant had begun to receive prior to the date of such amendment. The Corporation’s right to amend the Plan shall not be affected or limited in any way by an Employee’s termination of employment. Prior practices by any Employer or any entity related to the Employer shall not diminish in any way the rights granted the Corporation under this Article. Oral and other informal communications made by the Corporation, an Employer or their representatives concerning the Plan shall not give rise to any rights or benefits other than those contained in the Plan described herein, and such communications shall not diminish in any way the rights contained in this Article. Also, it is expressly permissible for an amendment to affect less than all of the Employees covered by the Plan.

ARTICLE VIII

Termination

     The Corporation and the Employers assume no obligation to continue the Plan. The Corporation hereby reserves the right to terminate, or to partially terminate, the Plan at any time for any reason. If the Corporation decides to terminate or partially terminate the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall be notified of such termination in writing and shall proceed at the direction of the Corporation to take such steps as are necessary to discontinue the operation of the Plan in an appropriate and timely manner. Prior practices by any Employer or any entity related to the Employer shall not diminish in any way the rights granted the Corporation under this Article. Oral and other informal communications made by the Corporation, an Employer or their representatives concerning the Plan shall not give rise to any rights or benefits other than those contained in the Plan described herein, and such communications shall not diminish in any way the rights contained in this Article.

ARTICLE IX

Miscellaneous

     9.1 Plan as Sole Source of Separation Benefits. The only severance, or other similar, benefits to which an Employee is entitled who terminates employment with the Employer during the time this Plan is in effect are provided for pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Plan. No other severance payments, severance benefits or any similar benefits shall be payable from any other source, regardless of whether the Employee is eligible for or entitled to benefits under this Plan, nor shall any prior practices of the Employer or any entity related to an Employer, to the extent such practices may have existed, give rise to any rights to any benefits upon severance from employment.

     9.2 Nonguarantee of Employment. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Employer and any Employee, or as a right of any Employee to be continued in the employment of the Employer, or as a limitation of the right of the Employer to discharge any of its Employees, with or without cause.

     9.3 Spendthrift Clause. Except to the extent mandated by law, benefits payable under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder, shall be void and of no force and effect whatsoever; provided, however, that the benefits hereunder may be assigned or transferred to pay any bona fide debt of the Participant to an Employer. The Plan shall not in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person entitled to benefits hereunder.

     9.4 Successor to the Corporation. In the event of the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation, provision may be made by which the Plan will be continued by the successor, and, in that event, such successor shall be substituted for the Employer under the Plan.

     9.5 Delegation of Authority by the Corporation. Any action by the Corporation under this Plan may be made by any person or persons duly authorized by the Corporation to take such action.

     9.6 Headings. The headings of sections and subsections are for ease of reference only and shall not be construed to limit or modify the detailed provisions thereof.
