benefits in the form of a lump-sum payment.

         6.2 Form of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.2,
all payments shall be made entirely in cash. In the event that investment
returns associated with Company common stock are allocated by the the Committee
to the Deferred Income Account of a Participant during the last accounting
period prior to the commencement of the distribution of the Participant's
benefit, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, distribute Company
common stock in lieu of its cash value to such Participant, provided that he has
indicated to the Committee a preference for a distribution of Company common
stock.

         6.3 Benefit Commencement. Payment of Deferral Benefits shall commence
within 120 days following the Retirement, Termination or Death of a Participant.
Payment of Deferral Benefits may also be made by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, to a Participant who has attained age 55 and has requested the
commencement of his benefits.

         6.4 Retirement. Upon a Participant's retirement, in accordance with
Section 2.21, the value of the Deferred Income Account will be determined as of
the Determination Date immediately following his date of retirement pursuant to
Section 5.3 and in accordance with Sections 6.1, 6.3, and 6.7.

         6.5 Termination. In the event a Participant terminates his employment
for reasons other than Death or Retirement, the value of the Deferred Income
Account will be determined pursuant to Section 5.3 and in accordance with
Sections 6.1, 6.3, and 6.7. If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the
Company because of the sale or other disposition of A&T or of the assets of an
Affiliate, his employment shall be deemed to have been terminated pursuant to
this Section 6.4.

         6.6 Death. Upon the death of a Participant, while employed by the

         6.7  Hardship Distribution. The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
upon the finding that the Participant or Beneficiary has suffered a financial
hardship, allow such Participant or Beneficiary to withdraw a portion of his
Deferred Income Account sufficient to eliminate the hardship. Financial hardship
shall be determined by the Committee under uniform rules to be adopted by the
Committee.

         6.8  Withholding; Payroll Taxes. To the extent required by the law in
effect at the time payments are made, the Employer shall withhold from payments
made hereunder any taxes required to be withheld for federal, state, or local
government purposes.

         6.9  Leave of Absence. If a Participant is on approved leave of 
absence, including, without limitation, disability leave while in receipt of
long-term disability payments, he shall be considered as actively employed
(except that no deferrals of income shall be permitted or required from
disability pay) and shall not be entitled to Deferral Benefits until his actual
Retirement or Termination and the cessation of his receipt of benefits as a
current employee, including, without limitation, his receipt of long-term
disability payments. If a Participant becomes employed by an Affiliate that is
not a Participating Employer, such employment shall not be considered to be
Retirement or Termination. If a Participant terminates his employment, commences
receiving Deferral Benefits and returns to employment with A&T or an Affiliate,
payments to him of his Deferral Benefit shall cease until his subsequent
Retirement or Termination, but no repayment to the Plan will be required or
permitted.

         6.10 Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control of A&T (as
hereinafter defined), all Deferred Income Accounts of Participants shall be
determined pursuant to Section 5.3 as of the effective date of the Change in
Control. At the election of the Committee, in the exercise of its sole
discretion, Deferral benefits may become payable immediately following a Change
in Control utilizing such method of payment the Committee shall select, subject
to the limitation set forth in the following sentence. Any payment of Deferral
Benefits pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be reduced to the extent
required so

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   16
that the amount paid pursuant to this Section, when taken together with all
other payments to a Participant under all other A&T or Affiliate plans,
contracts, and agreements, may be paid to a Participant without any of such
payments being non-deductible to the Company under Section 280G, or subject to
tax upon receipt by the Participant under Section 4999, of the Code as then in
effect. In the event it is determined that the amount payable to a Participant
in accordance with the preceding sentence is less than the amount originally
calculated and paid to the Participant, the Participant shall repay the Company
the amount that is necessary so that, after such adjustment, the Participant
will have received or be entitled to receive hereunder the total amount defined
above, with any such repayment to bear interest at the rate specified pursuant
to Section 1272 of the Code. For purposes of this Section 6.9, a Change of
Control shall be deemed to have taken place if: (a) any consolidation or merger
of A&T shall be consummated in which A&T is not the continuing or surviving
corporation or pursuant to which shares of A&T's voting securities would be
converted to cash, securities or other property other than a consolidation or
merger of A&T in which the holders of A&T's voting securities immediately prior
to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of voting securities of the
surviving corporation immediately after the merger; (b) any sale, lease,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of A&T shall be
consummated; (c) the shareholders of A&T shall have approved any plan or
proposal for A&T's liquidation or dissolution; (d) any person [as such term is
used in Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")], other than an A&T Employee Benefit Plan, shall
become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act) of 20% or more of A&T's outstanding voting securities; or (e) during any
period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constitute the entire Board of Directors shall cease for any reason to
constitute a majority thereof unless election, or the nomination for election by
A&T's shareholders, of each new director was

                                      -12-
<PAGE>   17
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office
who were directors at the beginning of the period.

                             Beneficiary Designation

         7.1 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant shall have the right, at
any time, to designate any person, persons, or entity as his Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries to whom payment under the Plan shall be paid in the event of his
death by filing with the Committee a Beneficiary Designation substantially in
the form annexed hereto as Appendix B. Such payment shall be in accordance with
and pursuant to Section 6.1, Section 6.3, and Section 6.7.

         7.2 Amendment, Marital Status. If a Participant's compensation is
community property, any designation other than the Spouse made by a Participant
then married shall not be valid or effective to the extent any Beneficiary (or
combination thereof) is to receive more than fifty percent (50%) of such
Participant's aggregate benefits payable hereunder unless the Spouse shall, in
writing, approve such designation. Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by
a Participant by filing such change on a form prescribed by the Committee. The
filing of a new Beneficiary designation will cancel all Beneficiary designations
previously filed for such Plan Year, subject to the first sentence of this
Section 7.2.

         7.3 No Participant Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a
Beneficiary as provided above, or if his Beneficiary designation is revoked by
operation of law or otherwise, without execution of a new designation, or if all
designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete
distribution of the Participant's benefits, then the Participant's Beneficiary
shall be deemed to be his estate.

amendment.

         8.2 Company's Right to Terminate. The Company has the right to amend,
suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. The consent of
any Participant, Beneficiary, other Company, or other person shall not be
requisite to such amendment, suspension, or termination of the plan. Upon the
termination of the Plan, with respect to existing deferrals, each Participant
shall receive, in a lump sum, the balance of his Deferred Income Account.



                                   ARTICLE IX.



                               General Provisions

         9.1 Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries,
heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interest
or claims in any property or assets of the Company. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 9.1, no assets of the Company shall be held under any trust for
the benefit of Participants, their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, or assigns,
or held in any way as collateral security from the fulfilling of the

                                      -14-
<PAGE>   19
obligations of the Company under this Plan. The Company may enter into a Trust
Agreement with a Trustee appointed by the Company for the purpose of segregating
any assets earmarked for the provision of benefits payable hereunder. The Trust
Agreement shall be in such form and contain such provisions as the Company may
deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, provisions with respect to the
powers and authority of the Trustee (including the management of funds and/or
providing investment options and retirement elections under the Plan) and
provisions authorizing the Company to settle the accounts of the Trustee on
behalf of all persons having an interest in the Plan.. For purposes of this
Plan, any and all of the Company's assets (including any such assets held in
trust) shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the
Company. The Company's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an
unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future.

         9.2 Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall
have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage
or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual
receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder. All payments and the rights to
all payments are expressly declared to be unassignable and nontransferable. No
part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to
seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, or decrees
(except Qualified Domestic Relations Orders from a court of competent
jurisdiction pursuant to the Retirement Equity Act of 1984), or transferred by
operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any Beneficiary's bankruptcy
or insolvency.

         9.3 Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan
shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company
and the Participant, and the Participant (or his Beneficiary) shall have no
rights against the Company except as may otherwise be specifically provided
herein. Moreover, nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the
right to be retained in the service of the Company or to

                                      -15-
<PAGE>   20
eliminate the Company's right to discipline or discharge him at any time for any
reason whatsoever.

         9.4 Protective Provisions. A Participant or beneficiary will cooperate
with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Company,
in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, and taking such other
action as may be requested by the Company or the Committee.

         9.5 Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they
shall be construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where
they would so apply; and wherever any words are used herein in the singular or

in the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.

interpreted according to the laws of the State of Connecticut.

         9.8 Validity. In case any provisions of this Plan shall be illegal or
invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such
illegal and invalid provisions had never been inserted herein.

         9.9 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to
the Committee under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand
delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Committee at the
principal office of A&T. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of

be found upon evidence satisfactory to the Committee that any Participant or
Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under this Plan is unable to care for
his affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless prior claim
therefore shall have been made by a duly authorized guardian, or other legal
representative) may be paid, upon appropriate indemnification of the Committee,
to the Spouse or other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense
for such Participant. Any such payment shall be a payment for the account of the
Participant and shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Plan
therefore.
