2. Establishment of Plan Accounts.

            The Administrator shall establish a Plan Account hereunder for each
      Participant as soon as he or she becomes a member of the Board, or in the

            Whenever a Plan Account is established, the Administrator shall
      credit to such Plan Account, that number of Shares and fractions thereof
      equal in value to $50,000 ($100,000 in the case of any director first

      Allocation made to the Plan Account of Mr. Schuchert.

      of Shares held by the Trust that is equal to the number of Shares credited
      to his or her Plan Account as to all matters with respect to which such
      Shares are entitled to vote. The Trust shall distribute to each
      Participant (or in the event of a Participant's death, such Participant's
      Beneficiary) an amount in cash equal to the amount of any cash dividends
      payable on the number of Shares allocated to the Participant's Plan
      Account.

7. Non-assignability.

            The right of a Participant or Beneficiary to the distribution
      provided for in the Plan shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or
      encumbered or be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation.

8. Amendment and Termination.

            The Plan may at any time be amended, modified or terminated by the
      Board; provided that no amendment, modification or termination shall,
      without the consent of a Participant, reduce the number of Shares and
      fractions thereof credited to such Participant's Plan Account pursuant to
      Sections 2 and 3.
