Compensation for a Plan Year by filing with the Administrator a
Deferral Election Form for such Plan Year that conforms to the
requirements of this Section 3.1, no later than the last day of the
applicable Election Period for such Plan Year.  The Committee may

be filed during the Election Period prior to the effective date of such
election and shall be effective only for Compensation that constitutes
compensation for services performed during periods during the Plan Year
beginning after the effective date of such election.   Notwithstanding
the previous sentence, if an Eligible Individual's Bonus (or portion

meaning of Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(iii) and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, the Committee may permit such Eligible Individual to file
an election to defer such Bonus (or such portion thereof), or change

portion thereof), no later than six months before the end of the period
over which such services are to be performed, under the terms and
conditions specified by the Committee, in accordance with Section
409A(a)(4)(B)(iii) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
A Participant shall make a separate election to defer Compensation for
each Plan Year.

following restrictions apply to deferrals of certain elements of
Compensation.

         (1) Severance Payments.  A Participant may elect to defer
Severance Payments  (or a portion thereof), to the extent permitted by
the Committee.  In order to defer Severance Payments (or a portion
thereof), an eligible Participant must file the appropriate Deferral
Election Form no later than the election date required under Section
409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  A
Participant's election to defer Severance Payments shall be effective
only for Severance Payments (or a portion thereof) that constitute
compensation for services performed during periods during the Plan Year
(or a subsequent Plan Year) after the effective date of the
Participant's deferral election, or as otherwise permitted under
Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

         (2) Restricted Stock Units.  A Participant may elect to defer
Restricted Stock Units (or a portion thereof), to the extent permitted
by the Committee. In order to defer Restricted Stock Units (or a

portion thereof), an eligible Participant must file the
appropriate Deferral Election Form no later than the election date
required under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations

thereof) that constitute compensation for services performed during
periods during the Plan Year (or a subsequent Plan Year) after the
effective date of the Participant's deferral election, or as otherwise
permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.

         (3) Stock Option Gains.  A Participant may elect to defer
Stock Option Gains (or a portion thereof), to the extent permitted by

thereof), an eligible Participant must file the appropriate Deferral
Election Form no later than the election date required under Section
409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  A
Participant's election to defer Stock Option Gains shall be effective
only for the Stock Option Gains (or a portion thereof) that constitute
compensation for services performed during periods during the Plan Year
(or a subsequent Plan Year) after the effective date of the
Participant's deferral election, or as otherwise permitted under
Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

         (4) SERP Lump Sum.  A Participant may elect to defer a
SERP Lump Sum (or a portion thereof), to the extent permitted by the
Committee.  In order to defer a SERP Lump Sum (or a portion thereof),
an eligible Participant must file the appropriate Deferral Election
Form no later than the election date required under Section 409A of the
Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  A Participant's election
to defer a SERP Lump Sum (or portion thereof) shall be effective only
for a SERP Lump Sum (or a portion thereof) that constitutes
compensation for services performed during periods during the Plan Year
(or a subsequent Plan Year) after the effective date of the
Participant's deferral election, or as otherwise permitted under
Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

         (5) Limitation on Deferrals.  A Participant may elect to
defer Severance Payments, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Option Gains or
a SERP Lump Sum, or any portion thereof, only to the extent such
deferral satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c)  Deferral Amounts.  The amount of Compensation which a
Participant may elect to defer for a Plan Year is such Compensation
earned on or after the time at which the Participant elects to defer
each Plan Year in accordance with Section 3.1(a), and which is earned
during such Plan Year.  The applicable limitations for any Participant
shall be determined based on his classification by the Committee,
determined on the first day of the Election Period for such Plan Year.

         (1) Each Participant who is a Manager shall be permitted
to defer, in any whole percentage:  (A) from 6% to 100% of Base Salary
and (B) from 6% to 100% of his Bonus.

         (2) Each Participant who is an Executive Officer shall be
permitted to defer, in any whole percentage:  (A) from 6% to 100% of
Base Salary, (B) from 6% to 100% of his Bonus and (c) from 10% to 100%
of his Restricted Stock Units, Stock Option Gains, Severance Payments
and SERP Lump Sum, subject to Section 3.1(b).

         (3) Each Participant who is a Director shall be permitted
to defer, in any whole percentage, from 10% to 100% of his
Compensation.

9

Notwithstanding the limitations established above, the total amount
deferred by a Participant shall be limited in any calendar year, if
necessary, to satisfy the Participant's income and employment tax
withholding obligations  (including Social Security, unemployment and
Medicare), and the Participant's employee benefit plan contribution
requirements, determined on the first day of the Election Period for
such Plan Year, as determined by the Committee.  If permitted by the
Committee, the Participant may make deferrals for a Plan Year with
respect to any designated portion of his Compensation (such as meeting
fees, for example), to the extent elected by such Participant during
the Election Period for such Plan Year.

(d)	Duration of Deferral Election.

         (1) A Participant shall not modify or suspend his
election to defer Compensation during a Plan Year.

         (2) A Participant must file a new deferral election for
each subsequent Plan Year.  In the event a Participant fails to file a
timely deferral election for the next Plan Year, he shall be deemed to
have elected not to defer any Compensation for such Plan Year.

         (3) A Participant's election to defer all or any portion
of his SERP Lump Sum shall automatically become void in the event the
Participant dies or becomes disabled while employed by the Company.

(e)	Elections.  Subject to the limitations of subsection
(b), any Eligible Individual who does not elect to defer Compensation
during his Election Period for a Plan Year may subsequently become a
Participant.

(f)	Termination of Participation and/or Deferrals.  If
the Committee determines in good faith that a Participant no longer
qualifies as a Director or a member of a select group of management or
highly compensated employees, as membership in such group is determined
in accordance with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA,
the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion and only for
purposes of preserving the Plan's exemption from Title I of ERISA, to
(1) terminate any deferral election the Participant has made for the
remainder of the Plan Year in which the Participant's membership status
changes, (2) prevent the Participant from making future deferral
elections and/or (3) immediately distribute the balance of the
Participant's Accounts and terminate the Participant's participation in
the Plan.

3.2	Distribution Elections.

(a)	General Rule.  Each Participant shall elect the Payment
Date and the form of distribution of his Distributable Amount for
purposes of distributions under subsection 7.1(a) in the event of such
Participant's Separation from Service or Disability.  Such Payment Date
and distribution form elections shall be made on such Participant's
Deferral Election Form during the first Election Period for which such
Participant elects to defer Compensation under Section 3.1, and such
Payment Date and distribution form elections shall be irrevocable,
except as provided in subsection (b).  A Participant may elect any
Payment Date described in Section 1.2(gg), and may elect distribution
in the normal form, as described in paragraph 7.1(a)(1), or an optional
form described in subparagraphs 7.1(a)(2)(A), (B) or (C).  In the event
a Participant fails to elect a Payment Date, his Payment Date shall be
the date described in Section 1.2(gg)(1).  In the event a Participant
fails to make a distribution form election, his Distributable Amount
shall be distributed in the normal form, as described in paragraph
7.1(a)(1) in the event of his Separation from Service or

10

Disability, except as provided in subsection (b).  Except as provided in
subsection (b), such Participant's distribution shall be made or commence
as soon as administratively practicable after such Participant's Payment
Date.

(b)	Changes to Distribution Form Election.   Subject to
subsection (e), a Participant may change his distribution form election
in accordance with this subsection (b) as follows:

	(1)	Change from Lump Sum.  If such Participant elected to
receive the distribution of his Distributable Amount in the event of
his Separation from Service or Disability in a lump sum, as provided in
subparagraph 7.1(a)(2)(iii), such Participant may change such
distribution form election by making a new distribution form election
providing for distribution in one of the following forms, with such
distribution made or commencing on the fifth anniversary of his Payment
Date:

		(A)	a lump sum,

		(B)	annual installments (calculated as set forth at
Section 7.1(a)(6)) over five years,

		(C)	annual installments (calculated as set forth at
Section 7.1(a)(6) over ten (10) years,

		(D)	annual installments (calculated as set forth at
Section 7.1(a)(6)) over fifteen (15) years.

	(2)	Change from Installments.  If such Participant
elected to receive the distribution of his Distributable Amount in the
event of his Separation from Service or Disability in the normal form,
as described in paragraph 7.1(a)(1)(A) (annual installments over ten
years), or an optional form, as provided in subparagraph 7.1(a)(2)(A)
(annual installments over five years) or (B) (annual installments over
fifteen years), such Participant may change such distribution form
election by making a new distribution form election providing for
distribution in one of the following forms, with such distribution
commencing on the fifth anniversary of his Payment Date:

		(i)	annual installments (calculated as set forth at
Section 7.1(a)(6)) over the period of years specified in such
Participant's initial distribution form election, or

		(ii)	annual installments (calculated as set forth at
Section 7.1(a)(6)) over a period of either ten (10) years or fifteen
(15) years, provided that such period exceeds the period of years
specified in such Participant's initial distribution form election.

	(3)	A Participant may make only one change to his
distribution form election under this subsection (b).

(c)	Election of Scheduled Withdrawal Date.  A Participant may
elect a Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to his deferrals of
Compensation (but excluding any investment earnings on such amounts)
(the "Withdrawal Amount") with respect to a Plan Year.  Such election
of a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for such Participant's Withdrawal Amount
with respect to a Plan Year shall be made by such

11

Participant during
the Election Period for which such Participant elects to defer
Compensation under Section 3.1 for such Plan Year, and such election of
a Scheduled Withdrawal Date shall be irrevocable, except as provided in
subsection (d).  A Participant may make separate Scheduled Withdrawal
Date elections for his deferrals of Compensation (excluding any
investment earnings on such amounts) with respect to different Plan
Years.  A Participant's Withdrawal Amount with respect to a Plan Year
shall be credited to subaccounts under such Participant's Accounts for
such Plan Year.  A Participant shall not be required to elect a
Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to his deferrals of Compensation
for a Plan Year and, if a Participant fails to make an election of a
Scheduled Withdrawal Date for a Plan Year, no Scheduled Withdrawal Date
shall apply with respect to his deferrals of Compensation for such Plan
Year.

(d)	Change of Scheduled Withdrawal Date.  Subject to subsection
(e), if a Participant elected a Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect
to his deferrals of Compensation (excluding any investment earnings on
such amounts) with respect to a Plan Year, such Participant may change
such Scheduled Withdrawal Date for the Withdrawal Amount with respect
to such Plan Year by electing a new Scheduled Withdrawal Date for the
Withdrawal Amount with respect to such Plan Year that is not less than
five years later than the Scheduled Withdrawal Date previously elected
by such Participant for such Plan Year.   A Participant who has not
elected a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for his deferrals of Compensation
(excluding any investment earnings on such amounts) for a Plan Year may
not subsequently elect a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for his deferrals of
Compensation (excluding any investment earnings on such amounts) for
such Plan Year.  A Participant may make only one change to the
Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to each Plan Year under this
subsection (d).

(e)	Limitation on Distribution Changes.  A Participant's
election to change to his distribution form election under subsection
(b), or change of a Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan
Year under subsection (d), shall be subject to the following
limitations:

	(1)	The Participant's election to change his distribution
election form, or change his Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to
a Plan Year, shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months
after his election to change the distribution form election, or
Scheduled Withdrawal Date, is made.  If the distribution of such
Participant's Distributable Amount (in the case of a change in his
distribution election form), or the distribution of the Withdrawal
Amount with respect to such Plan Year (in the case of a change in his
Scheduled Withdrawal Date), is made or commence before the election to
change his distribution form election or Scheduled Withdrawal Date, as
the case may be, becomes effective, the election to change his
distribution form election or Scheduled Withdrawal Date shall not
thereafter become effective, and distributions shall be made in
accordance with the distribution form election, and Scheduled
Withdrawal Date (if any), as applicable, in effect prior to the
Participant's election to change.

	(2)	The Participant's election to change his distribution
election form, or change his Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to
a Plan Year, shall provide that each payment with respect to such new
distribution form election, or new Scheduled Withdrawal Date, shall be
deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date such
payment would otherwise have been made.

	(3)	The Participant's election to change his Scheduled
Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year shall not be made less than
twelve (12) months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment
under the Participant's initial election of the Scheduled Withdrawal
Date with respect to such Plan Year.

12

The limitations under this subsection (e) shall be applied in
accordance with Section 409A(a)(4)(C) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.

3.3	Company Matching Contributions

(a)	The Company shall make a Company Matching
Contribution for a Plan Year, on behalf of each Participant who is
selected by the Company prior to the first day of such Plan Year and
makes deferrals of Base Salary and Bonus under Article III, in an
amount equal to:

         (1)	the product of (A) the rate of the matching
contribution under the 401(k) Plan in which the Participant
participates and (B) the sum of:  (I) 6% of the Participant's
compensation (as defined in the 401(k) Plan) for the Plan Year, and
(II) the Participant's deferrals of Base Salary and Bonus under the
Plan for the Plan Year, to the extent such sum does not exceed 6% of
such Participant's Base Salary and Bonus for such Plan Year, less

         (2)	3% of such Participant's compensation (as defined in
the 401(k) Plan) for the Plan Year.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company reserves the right to change the
Company Matching Contribution in its sole discretion for any subsequent
Plan Year.

(b)	The Company Matching Contribution for a Plan Year
shall be credited to a Participant's Company Matching Account in the
manner determined by the Committee prior to the first day of such Plan
Year.

3.4	FICA and Other Taxes.

(a)	Annual Deferral Amounts.  For each Plan Year in which
a Participant who is an employee makes a deferral under Section 3.1,
the Company shall withhold from that portion of the Participant's
Compensation that is not being deferred, in a manner determined by the
Company, the Participant's share of FICA and other employment taxes on
such amount.  If necessary, the Committee may reduce the Participant's
deferrals under Section 3.1 or make deductions from his Deferral
Account in order to comply with this Section, to the extent permitted
under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b)	Company Matching Amounts.  For each Plan Year in
which a Participant is credited with a contribution to his Company
Matching Account under Section 3.3, the Company shall withhold from the
Participant's Compensation that is not deferred, in a manner determined
by the Company, the Participant's share of FICA and other employment
taxes.  If necessary, the Committee may reduce the Participant's
Company Matching Account in order to comply with this Section, to the
extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.

                              ARTICLE IV.
                              INVESTMENTS

4.1	Measurement Funds.

(a)	In the manner designated by the Committee,
Participants may elect one or more Measurement Funds to be used to
determine the additional amounts to be credited to their Accounts.
Although the Participant may designate the Measurement Funds, the
Committee shall not be bound by such designation; provided, however,
that any substitute Measurement Funds designated by the Committee for a
Participant must provide the Participant with an investment opportunity
comparable to the original Measurement Funds designated by the
Participant.  The Committee shall select from time to time, in its sole
discretion, the Measurement Funds to be available under the Plan;
provided, however, that such Measurement Funds shall be the same as the
investment funds which are available from time to time under the 401(k)
Plan, except to the extent prohibited by law.

(b)	No Actual Investment.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the
Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a
Participant's election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to
his Accounts thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the
crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant's Accounts shall
not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of
his Accounts in any such Measurement Fund.  In the event that the
Company or the trustee, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds
in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any
rights in or to such investments themselves.  Without limiting the
foregoing, a Participant's Accounts shall at all times be a bookkeeping
entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his behalf by
the Company.  The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured
creditor of the Company.

4.2	Investment Elections.

(a)	Executive Officers and Director Participants.

         (1)	Deferral Accounts.  Except as provided in Sections
4.2(a)(2) and 4.3, Participants who are either Executive Officers or
Directors may designate how their Deferral Accounts shall be deemed to
be invested under the Plan.

              (A)	Such Participants may make separate investment
elections for (I) their future deferrals of Compensation and (II)
the existing balances of their Deferral Accounts.

              (B)	Such Participants may make and change their
investment elections by choosing from the Measurement Funds
designated by the Committee in accordance with the procedures
established by the Committee.

              (C)	Except as otherwise designated by the
Committee, the available Measurement Funds under this Section
4.2(a)(1) shall be the investment funds under the 401(k) Plan
(excluding the Stable Value Fund and any brokerage account
option).  Additionally, for the Deferral Account only, there
shall also be a Measurement Fund based on the Moody's Plus Rate.

14

              (D)	If a Participant fails to elect a Measurement
Fund under this Section, he shall be deemed to have elected the
default Measurement Fund (as designated by the Committee) for all
of his Accounts.

         (2)	Company Matching Account and Certain Deferral
Subaccounts.  The Company Matching Contributions credited to a
Participant's Company Matching Account, and the deferrals of a
Participant's Restricted Stock Units and Stock Option Gains credited to
such Participant's Deferral Account shall be initially deemed invested
in the Sempra Energy Stock Fund.  A Participant may direct the
investment of the balance of his Company Matching Account or the
Restricted Stock Unit and the Stock Option Gain subaccounts of the
Deferral Account into any other Measurement Fund, as permitted by the
Committee.

(b)	Manager Participants.

         (1)	Deferral Account.  Any Participant who is a Manager
shall have his Deferral Account invested in the Measurement Fund based
on the Moody's Plus Rate, except as otherwise permitted by the
Committee.

         (2)	Company Matching Account.  The Company Matching
Contributions credited to a Participant's Company Matching Account
shall be initially deemed invested in the Sempra Energy Stock Fund.  A
Participant may direct the investment of the balance of his Company
Matching Account into any other Measurement Fund, as permitted by the
Committee.

(c)	Continuing Investment Elections.  Participants who
have had a Retirement or Termination but not yet commenced
distributions under Article VII or Participants or Beneficiaries who
are receiving installment payments may continue to make investment
elections pursuant to subsection (a) and (b) above, as applicable,
except as otherwise determined by the Committee.

4.3	Compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(a)	Any Participant or Beneficiary who is subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall have his Measurement Fund
elections under the Plan subject to the requirements of the Exchange
Act, as interpreted by the Committee.   Any such Participant or
Beneficiary who elects to have any portion of his Deferral Account or
his future deferrals (pursuant to Section 3.1) either (i) invested in
the Sempra Energy Stock Fund or (ii) transferred from the Sempra Energy
Stock Fund to another available Measurement Fund under the Plan may not
make an election with the opposite effect under this Plan or any other
Company-sponsored plan until six months and one day following the
original election.

(b)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or
any rule, instruction, election form or other form, the Plan and any
such rule, instruction or form shall be subject to any additional
conditions or limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule
under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule
16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive
rule.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, such Plan provision,
rule, instruction or form shall be deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

                              ACCOUNTS

5.1	Accounts.

(a)	The Committee shall establish and maintain a Deferral
Account, and a Company Matching Account for each Participant under the
Plan.  Each Participant's Accounts shall be further divided into
separate subaccounts ("investment fund subaccounts"), each of which
corresponds to a Measurement Fund elected by the Participant pursuant
to Section 4.2.  In addition, Participants' Deferral Accounts may be
further divided into subaccounts consisting of deferred Restricted
Stock Units and deferred Stock Option Gains.

(b)	The performance of each elected Measurement Fund
(either positive or negative) shall be determined by the Committee, in
its reasonable discretion, based on the performance of the Measurement
Funds themselves.  A Participant's Accounts shall be credited or
debited on each Valuation Date based on the performance of each
Measurement Fund selected by the Participant, as determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion, as though (i) a Participant's
Accounts were invested in the Measurement Fund(s) selected by the
Participant, in the percentages applicable to such period, as of the
close of business on the first business day of such period, at the
closing price on such date; (ii) the portion of the Participant's
Compensation that was actually deferred pursuant to Section 3.1 during
any period were invested in the Measurement Fund(s) selected by the
Participant, in the percentages applicable to such period, no later
than the close of business on the first business day after the day on
which such amounts are actually deferred from the Participant's
Compensation, at the closing price on such date; and (iii) any
withdrawal or distribution made to a Participant that decreases such
Participant's Accounts ceased being invested in the Measurement
Fund(s), in the percentages applicable to such period, no earlier than
one business day prior to the distribution, at the closing price on
such date.  The Participant's Company Matching Contribution for a Plan
Year shall be credited to his Company Matching Account for purposes of
this Section, in the manner determined on the first day of the Election
Period for such Plan Year, as determined by the Committee.

                           ARTICLE VI.
                             VESTING

Each Participant shall be 100% vested in his Deferral Account and
his Matching Account at all times.

                           ARTICLE VII.
                          DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1	Distribution of Accounts.

(a)	Distribution at Separation from Service or
Disability.

         (1)	Normal Form.

              (A)	Except as provided in subparagraph (B),
paragraph (2), paragraph (3) or Section 7.3, upon the Separation from
Service or Disability of a Participant, the Distributable Amount shall

16

be paid to the Participant in substantially equal annual installments
in cash (calculated as set forth in paragraph 7.1(a)(6)) over ten (10)
years beginning on the Participant's Payment Date.

              (B)	Upon the Separation from Service of a
Participant who is a "key employee," as defined in Section 416(i) of
the Code (determined without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) of a
corporation any stock in which is publicly traded on an established
securities market, with respect to the Company, the distribution of the
Distributable Amount shall not be made before the date which is six
months after the date of such Participant's Separation from Service
(or, if earlier, the date of such Participant's death) in accordance
with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.

         (2)	Optional Forms.  Instead of receiving his
Distributable Amount as described at Section 7.1(a)(1)(A), the
Participant may elect in accordance with Section 3.2 one of the
following optional forms of payment (on the form provided by Company)
at the time of his deferral election:

              (i)	equal annual installments in cash (calculated
as set forth in paragraph 7.1(a)(6)) over five years beginning on the
Participant's Payment Date,

              (ii)	equal annual installments in cash (calculated
as set forth in paragraph 7.1(a)(6)) over fifteen (15) years beginning
on the Participant's Payment Date, or

              (iii)	a lump sum in cash.
The payment of such Participant's Distributable Amount shall be made or
commence on such Participant's Payment Date (or, if applicable, the
date determined under subparagraph (a)(1)(B)).

         (3)	Distribution Election Changes.  In the event that a
Participant changes his distribution form election in accordance with
Section 3.2(b), and such new distribution form election becomes
effective upon the Separation from Service or Disability of such
Participant, the Distributable Amount shall be paid to the Participant
in accordance with such new distribution form election.

         (4)	Small Accounts.  Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary, in the event the Distributable Amount is equal to or less
than $25,000, such Distributable Amount shall be distributed to the
Participant (or his Beneficiary, as applicable) in a lump sum.

         (5)	Investment Adjustments.  The Participant's Accounts
shall continue to be adjusted for investment earnings and losses
pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 of the Plan until all amounts
credited to his Accounts under the Plan have been distributed.

         (6)	Calculating Installments.  All installment payments
made under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the annual
fractional payment method, calculated as follows:  the balance of the
Participant's Accounts shall be calculated as of the close of business
on the last business day of the year.  The annual installment shall be
calculated by multiplying this balance by a fraction, the numerator of
which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of
annual payments due the Participant.  By way of example, if the
Participant elects 10 year installments the first payment shall be 1/10
of the balance of his Accounts calculated as described in this
definition.  The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the
balance of the Participant's Accounts, calculated as described in this
definition.

17

Each annual installment shall be paid on or as soon as
practicable after the last business day of the applicable year.

(b)	Distribution on a Scheduled Withdrawal Date.

         (1)	In the case of a Participant who has elected a
Scheduled Withdrawal Date for a distribution to be made while still in
the employ of the Company or while still a Director, such Participant
shall receive his deferrals of Compensation (but excluding any
investment earnings on such amounts) (the "Withdrawal Amount") as shall
have been elected by the Participant to be subject to the Scheduled
Withdrawal Date.  A Participant's Scheduled Withdrawal Date with
respect to amounts of Compensation deferred in a given Plan Year must
be at least three years from the last day of the Plan Year for which
such deferrals are made.

         (2)	The Withdrawal Amount shall be paid in a lump sum in
cash.

         (3)	A Participant may elect to change the Scheduled
Withdrawal Date for the Withdrawal Amount for any Plan Year in
accordance with Section 3.2(d).

         (4)	In the event of Participant's Separation from Service
or Disability prior to a Scheduled Withdrawal Date, the Participant's
entire Withdrawal Amount shall be paid in accordance with the
Participant's election under Section 7.1(a).  In the event of a
Participant's death prior to a Scheduled Withdrawal Date, the
Participant's entire Withdrawal Amount shall be paid as soon as
practicable after the Termination in a lump sum in cash.

(c)	Distribution upon Death.  In the event a Participant
dies before he has begun receiving distributions under Section 7.1(a),
his Accounts shall be paid to his Beneficiary in the same manner
elected by the Participant.  In the event a Participant dies after he
has begun receiving distributions under Section 7.1(a) with a remaining
balance in his Accounts, the balance shall continue to be paid to his
Beneficiary in the same manner.

7.2	Hardship Distribution.

A Participant shall be permitted to elect a Hardship Distribution
of all or a portion of his Accounts under the Plan prior to the Payment
Date, subject to the following restrictions:

(a)	The election to take a Hardship Distribution shall be
made by filing the form provided by the Committee before the date
established by the Committee.

(b)	The Committee shall have made a determination that
the requested distribution constitutes a Hardship Distribution in
accordance with subsection (d).

(c)	The amount determined by the Committee as a Hardship
Distribution shall be paid in a single lump sum in cash as soon as
practicable after the end of the calendar month in which the Hardship
Distribution election is made and approved by the Committee.

(d)	If a Participant receives a Hardship Distribution, the Participant
shall be ineligible to contribute deferrals to the Plan for the following
Plan Year.  "Hardship Distribution" shall mean a severe

18

financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (i) an
illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant's spouse or of
his dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code), (ii) loss of
a Participant's property due to casualty, or (iii) other similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of
events beyond the control of the Participant, as determined by the
Committee in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(I) of the Code
and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.   The amount of the Hardship
Distribution with respect to a severe financial hardship shall not
exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such hardship, plus amounts
necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the
distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such
hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by
insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant's assets
(to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause
severe financial hardship), as determined by the Committee in
accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(II) of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder.

7.3	Effect of a Change in Control.

(a)	In the event there is a Change in Control, the person
who is the chief executive officer (or, if not so identified, the
Company's highest ranking officer) shall name a third-party fiduciary
as the sole member of the Committee immediately prior to such Change in
Control. The appointed fiduciary, shall provide for the immediate
distributions of the accounts under the Plan in lump sum payments and
cash.

(b)	Upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control,
the Company must (i) pay all reasonable administrative fees and
expenses of the appointed fiduciary, (ii) indemnify the appointed
fiduciary against any costs, expenses and liabilities including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses arising in connection
with the appointed fiduciary's duties hereunder, other than with
respect to matters resulting from the gross negligence of the appointed
fiduciary or its agents or employees and (iii) timely provide the
appointed fiduciary with all necessary information related to the Plan,
the Participants and Beneficiaries.

(c)	Notwithstanding Section 9.4, in the event there is a
Change in Control no amendment may be made to this Plan except as
approved by the third-party fiduciary.  Upon a Change in Control,
assets shall be placed in a rabbi trust in an amount which shall equal
the full accrued liability under this Plan as determined by Towers
Perrin, or a successor actuarial firm.

7.4	Inability to Locate Participant.

In the event that the Committee is unable to locate a
Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the required
Payment Date, the amount allocated to the Participant's Accounts shall
be forfeited.  If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or
Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated
without interest or earnings from the date of forfeiture, subject to
applicable escheat laws.

7.5 	Prohibition on Acceleration of Distributions.

The time or schedule of payment of any withdrawal or
distribution under the Plan shall not be subject to acceleration,
except as provided under Treasury Regulations promulgated in accordance
with Section 409A(a)(3) of the Code.

22

                             ARTICLE IX.
                            MISCELLANEOUS

9.1	Unsecured General Creditor.

Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors,
and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or
interest in any specific property or assets of the Company.  No assets
of the Company shall be held in any way as collateral security for the
fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan.  Any and
all of the Company's assets shall be, and remain, the general
unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company.  The Company's
obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and
unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the
rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than
those of unsecured general creditors.  It is the intention of the
Company that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of the Code and Title I
of ERISA.

9.2	Restriction Against Assignment.

(a)	The Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder
only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any
other person or entity.  No right, title or interest in the Plan or in
any account may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  No right,
title or interest in the Plan or in any Account shall be liable for the
debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his successors in
interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation,
anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means
whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of
law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or
equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted
disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to
the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding
sentence.

(b)	Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), a
Participant's interest in his Account may be transferred by the
Participant pursuant to a domestic relations order that constitutes a
"qualified domestic relations order" as defined by the Code or Title I
of ERISA.

9.3	Withholding.

There shall be deducted from each payment made under the
Plan or any other Compensation payable to the Participant (or
Beneficiary) all taxes which are required to be withheld by the Company
in respect to such payment or this Plan.  The Company shall have the
right to reduce any payment (or compensation) by the amount of such of
cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.

9.4	Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination.

(a)	Subject to Section 7.3, the Committee may amend,
modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except that
no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall have any
retroactive effect to reduce any vested amounts allocated to a
Participant's Accounts. In the event of Plan termination, distributions
shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(b)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan,
if and to the extent the Company shall determine that the terms of the
Plan may result in the failure of the Plan, or amounts

23

deferred by or
for any Participant under the Plan, to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, or any applicable regulations or guidance
promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury in connection therewith,
the Company shall have authority to take such action to amend, modify,
cancel or terminate the Plan or distribute any or all of the amounts
deferred by or for a Participate, as it deems necessary or advisable,
including without limitation:

         (1)	Any amendment or modification of the Plan to
conform the Plan to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or any
regulations or other guidance thereunder (including, without
limitation, any amendment or modification of the terms of any
applicable to any Participant's Accounts regarding the timing or form
of payment).

         (2)	Any cancellation or termination of any unvested
interest in a Participant's Accounts without any payment to the
Participant.

         (3)	Any cancellation or termination of any vested
interest in any Participant's Accounts, with immediate payment to the
Participant of the amount otherwise payable to such Participant.
Any such amendment, modification, cancellation, or termination of the
Plan may adversely affect the rights of a Participant without the
Participant's consent.

9.5	Designation of Beneficiary.

(a)	Each Participant shall have the right to designate,
revoke and redesignate Beneficiaries hereunder and to direct payment of
his Distributable Amount to such Beneficiaries upon his death.

(b)	Designation, revocation and redesignation of
Beneficiaries must be made in writing in accordance with the procedures
established by the Committee and shall be effective upon delivery to
the Committee.

(c)	No designation of a Beneficiary other than the
Participant's spouse shall be valid unless consented in writing by such
spouse.  If there is no Beneficiary designation in effect, or the
designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant, then the
Participant's spouse shall be the Beneficiary.  If there is no
surviving spouse, the duly appointed and currently acting personal
representative of the Participant's estate (which shall include either
the Participant's probate estate or living trust) shall be the
Beneficiary.

(d)	After the Participant's death, any Beneficiary (other
than the Participant's estate) who is to receive installment payments
may designate a secondary beneficiary to receive amounts due under this
Plan to the Beneficiary in the event of the Beneficiary's death prior
to receiving full payment from the Plan.  If no secondary beneficiary
is designated, it shall be the Beneficiary's estate.

9.6	Insurance.

(a)	As a condition of participation in this Plan, each
Participant shall, if requested by the Committee or the Company,
undergo such examination and provide such information as may be
required by the Company with respect to any insurance contracts on the
Participant's life and shall authorize the Company to purchase life
insurance on his life, payable to the Company.

24

(b)	If the Company maintains an insurance policy on a
Participant's life to fund benefits under the Plan and such insurance
policy is invalidated because (i) the Participant commits suicide
during the two-year period beginning on the first day of the first Plan
Year of such Participant's participation in the Plan or because (ii)
the Participant makes any material misstatement of information or
nondisclosure of medical history, then the only benefits that shall be
payable hereunder to such Participant, his Beneficiary or his surviving
spouse, are the payment of the amount of deferrals of Compensation then
credited to the Participant's Accounts but without any interest
including interest theretofore credited under this Plan.

9.7	Governing Law.

Subject to ERISA, this Plan shall be construed, governed
and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of
California.

9.8	Receipt of Release.

Any payment to a Participant or the Participant's
Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the
extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the
Committee and the Company.  The Committee may require such Participant
or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a
receipt and release to such effect.

9.9	Compliance with Code Section 162(m)

It is the intent of the Company that any Compensation which is
deferred under the Plan by a person who is, with respect to the year of
distribution, deemed by the Committee to be a "covered employee" within
the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder, which
Compensation constitutes either "qualified performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations
thereunder or compensation not otherwise subject to the limitation on
deductibility under Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder, shall
not, as a result of deferral hereunder, become compensation with
respect to which the Company in fact would not be entitled to a tax
deduction under Code Section 162(m).   If the Company determines in
good faith prior to a Change in Control that there is a reasonable
likelihood that any compensation paid to a Participant for a taxable
year of the Company would not be deductible by the Company solely by
reason of the limitation under Code Section 162(m), then to the extent
deemed necessary by the Company to ensure that the entire amount of any
distribution to the Participant pursuant to this Plan prior to the
Change in Control is deductible, the Company may defer all or any
portion of a distribution under this Plan.  Any amounts deferred
pursuant to this limitation shall continue to be credited/debited with
additional amounts in accordance with Article IV, even if such amount
is being paid out in installments.  The amounts so deferred and amounts
credited thereon shall be distributed to the Participant or his
Beneficiary (in the event of the Participant's death) commencing on the
January 1 following the Plan Year in which such Participant's
Separation from Service, Disability or Death occurs, or if earlier, the
effective date of a Change in Control.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Plan, this Section shall not apply to any
distributions made after a Change in Control.

9.10	Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity.

In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan
to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Committee, is considered
by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid
receipt therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment be made
to any person found by the

25

Committee, in its sole judgment, to have
assumed the care of such person.  Any payment made pursuant to such
termination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the
Committee and the Company.

9.11	Limitation of Rights

Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any modification
thereof, nor the creating of any fund or account, nor the payment of
any benefits shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other
person any legal or equitable right against the Company except as
provided in the Plan.  In no event shall the terms of employment of, or
membership on the Board by, any Participant be modified or in any be
effected by the provisions of the Plan.

9.12	Exempt ERISA Plan

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained
primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for directors and a
select group of management or highly compensated employees within the
meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be
exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

9.13	Notice

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to
the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand
delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the principal
office of the Company, directed to the attention of the General Counsel
and Secretary of the Company.  Such notice shall be deemed given as of
the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date
shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

9.14	Errors and Misstatements

In the event of any misstatement or omission of fact by a
Participant to the Committee or any clerical error resulting in payment
of benefits in an incorrect amount, the Committee shall promptly cause
the amount of future payments to be corrected upon discovery of the
facts and shall pay or, if applicable, cause the Plan to pay, the
Participant or any other person entitled to payment under the Plan any
underpayment in a lump sum or to recoup any overpayment from future
payments to the Participant or any other person entitled to payment
under the Plan in such amounts as the Committee shall direct or to
proceed against the Participant or any other person entitled to payment
under the Plan for recovery of any such overpayment.

9.15	Pronouns and Plurality

The masculine pronoun shall include the feminine pronoun,
and the singular the plural where the context so indicates.

9.16	Severability

In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be
declared unenforceable or invalid for any reason, such unenforceability
or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan but
shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced
as if such unenforceable or invalid provision had never been included
herein.

26

9.17	Status

The establishment and maintenance of, or allocations and
credits to, the Accounts of any Participant shall not vest in any
Participant any right, title or interest in and to any Plan assets or
benefits except at the time or times and upon the terms and conditions
and to the extent expressly set forth in the Plan.

9.18	Headings.

Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the
construction of the provisions hereof.
