                                  intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan will be administered by the Committee.
Participants may elect to defer into the Plan up to 50% of base salary and up to 100% of bonuses, commissions, and director fees and retainers. In addition, the Plan allows, but does not require, the Company to make
                                  employer discretionary contributions to Participant accounts from time to time. The amounts of any discretionary contributions may differ from year to year and from Participant to Participant. While all Participant
