AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

                    Section 10.01 Amendment. The Board or the Executive Committee may at any time amend this Plan in whole or in part, provided, however, that no amendment shall be effective to decrease the balance in any Account as accrued at the time of such amendment, nor shall any amendment otherwise have a retroactive effect except if such retroactivity does not cause a materially adverse financial effect.

                    Section 10.02 Company’s Right to Terminate. The Board or the Executive Committee may at any time terminate the Plan with respect to future Participation Agreements and Stock Option Gain Agreements. The Board or the Executive Committee may also terminate the Plan in its entirety or in part at any time for any reason, including without limitation if, in its judgment, the continuance of the Plan, the tax, accounting, or other effects thereof, or potential payments thereunder would not be in the best interests of the Company, and upon any such termination, the Company shall immediately pay to each Participant in a lump sum the accrued balance in his Account (determined as of the most recent Valuation Date preceding the termination date).
