rabbi trust with an independent record keeper, a participant who has previously

investment profile apply to this deferral also. All determinations of the
available investment options by the Plan Administrator are final and binding upon
participants. A participant may change the investment elections at anytime prior
to the payment of the benefit, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Plan
Administrator, the Benefit Administration Committee, the plan record keeper or by
any applicable laws and regulations. A participant not making an election will
have amounts deferred treated as if in a Lifestyle Fund applicable to the
participant&#146;s age 65, rounded up, or such other investment as determined by the
Benefit Administration Committee. All gains and losses will be based upon the
performance of the investments selected by the participant from the date the
deferral is first credited to the nominal account. If the Company elects to fund
its obligation as discussed below, then investment performance will be based on
the balance as determined by the record keeper.</TD>

    <TD>Payment in the Event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. The participant
may request that payments commence immediately upon the occurrence of an
unforeseeable emergency as that term is defined in Code Section&nbsp;409A and any
applicable regulations. Generally, an unforeseeable emergency is a severe
financial hardship resulting from an illness or accident of the participant or the

casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising
as a result of events beyond the control of the participant. A distribution on

Energy Companies (the &#147;Savings Plan&#148;) or other arrangements. Distributions because
of an unforeseeable emergency shall not exceed the amount permitted under Section
409A and accordingly are limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the
emergency need (after use of insurance proceeds, liquidation of assets, etc.) plus
an amount to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. In
the event any payment is made due to an unforeseeable emergency, all deferral
elections for the current Performance Year will cease and the participant will not
be eligible to make any deferral elections under this Plan for the following
Performance Year. For any participant receiving a hardship withdrawal under the
Savings Plan, all deferral elections under this Plan for the current Performance
Year will cease and the participant will not be eligible to make any deferral
