COBRA

                       Under Federal law, you, your spouse, and your dependents may be entitled to COBRA

               continuation coverage in certain circumstances. Please see the "COBRA NOTICE" that is
               attached to the end of this Summary Plan Description for important information about your right
               to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan.
               The COBRA NOTICE generally explains COBRA continuation coverage and when it may
               become available to you. The Plan Administrator will inform you of these rights, if any, when
               you terminate employment.


                       FMLA

                       If you go on unpaid leave that qualifies as family leave under the Family and Medical
               Leave Act you may be able to continue receiving health care benefits.

                       You may elect to continue coverage on a pre-tax or after tax basis for non medical

               benefits when on leave of absence under the FMLA.

                       Non FMLA Leave

                       In addition, you may elect to continue coverage on a pre-tax or after tax basis when on
               leave of absence other than the FMLA.


               YOUR RIGHTS UNDER ERISA

                       As a participant, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee
               Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  This federal law provides that you have the
               right to:


                       Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator's office and at other specified
                       locations, such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing the Plan, including
                       insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual
                       report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and
