amount computed upon the Immediate Lump-Sum Benefit from column "D" of
Schedule A attached hereto, multiplied by Executive's then applicable
Vesting Percentage determined from Column B of said Schedule A. If

of a Plan Year, the Immediate Lump-Sum Benefit shown opposite the number of
full Plan Years of Service completed by the Executive prior to his

Control Benefit. If the Executive's termination occurs more than one (1)
Plan Month after the end of a Plan Year, the Immediate Lump-Sum Benefit

Executive prior to his termination plus an additional amount computed by
multiplying the difference between that Immediate Lump-Sum Benefit and the
Immediate Lump-Sum Benefit which would have accrued if the Executive would
have completed the next full Plan Year of service, times a fraction, the
denominator of which is twelve (12) and the numerator of which is the
number of full Plan Months of Service completed by the Executive after the

-8-

Executive is disabled or terminated because of Change of Control prior to the
completion of one Plan Year of Service, the benefit to which Executive will be
entitled shall be computed by multiplying the Immediate Annual Benefit which
would have accrued if the Executive would have completed the first full Plan
Year of Service times, a fraction, the denominator of which is twelve (12) and
the numerator of which is the number of full plan months of service completed by
the Executive prior to his termination for Disability or Change of Control. For
such purposes, the Vesting Percentage shall be determined as if Executive had
completed one (1) full Plan Year of Service. If Executive's employment is
terminated for any other reasons than Disability, Change of Control or
Executive's death before the Executive has competed one (1) full Plan Year of
Service, he shall not be entitled to any benefit whatsoever.
