Exhibit 10.7

 

MEDIA GENERAL, INC.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL 401(k) PLAN

 

Amended and Restated as of April 29, 2004

 

ARTICLE I

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the Media General, Inc. Supplemental 401(k)
Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide supplemental retirement savings to the Eligible
Employees under the Plan, through a program of compensation reduction deferrals
(that are matched, in part, by employer contributions, in accordance with the
terms of the Plan). This Plan is specifically designed to allow a select group
of key executives, whose pay exceeds the Internal Revenue Code Section
401(a)(17) compensation limit and whose elective deferral contributions to the
MG Advantage 401(k) Plan (the “401 (k) Plan”) are thereby limited under the
provisions of the Code, to defer compensation under this Plan by means of
compensation reductions (and otherwise receive the benefit of partial employer
matching provided under the Plan).

ADMINISTRATION

 

3.01 Administrator. The plan will be administered by the Company or by any
person, entity or committee appointed from time to time by the Board of
Directors to serve at its pleasure. A Participant may be appointed to serve as
Administrator at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Except as may be
directed by the Company, no person serving as Administrator will receive any
compensation for his services as Administrator. The Company shall provide the
Trustee with a written certification stating the name or names of the
Administrator (or the designated persons authorized to direct the Trustee on
behalf of the Administrator). The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such
certification as to the identity of the Administrator (and any designated
authorized persons) until the Company otherwise notifies the Trustee.

 

3.02 Powers of Administrator. The Administrator will have full and exclusive
power and discretion to administer the Plan, including as to all of its details.
For this purpose, the Administrator’s power will include, but will not be
limited to, the following authority:

 

(a) to make and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or
proper for the efficient administration of the Plan or as required to comply
with applicable law;

 

(b) to interpret the Plan, its interpretation thereof in good faith to be final
and conclusive as to any Employee, former Employee, Participant, former
Participant and Beneficiary;

 

(c) to decide all questions concerning the Plan;

 

(d) to compute the amount of benefits which will be payable to any Participant,
former Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan,
and to determine the person or persons to whom such benefits will be paid;

 

(e) to authorize the payment of Plan benefits;

 

(f) to keep such records and submit such filings, elections, applications,
returns or other documents or forms as may be required under the Code and
applicable regulations, or under state or local law and regulations; and

 

(g) to appoint such agents, counsel, accountants, consultants and recordkeepers
as may be required to assist in administering the Plan.

 

Page 4 of 11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.03 Examination of Records. The Administrator will make available to each
Participant such Plan records as pertain to the Participant, for examination at
reasonable times during normal business hours.

 

3.04 Nondiscriminatory Exercise of Authority. Whenever, in the administration of
the Plan, any discretionary review or action by the Administrator is required,
the Administrator shall exercise such authority in a nondiscriminatory manner
(so that all persons who are similarly situated will receive substantially the
same treatment).

 

3.05 Reliance on Tables, etc. In administering the Plan, the Administrator will
be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to rely conclusively on all tables,
valuations, certificates, opinions and reports that are furnished by any
trustee, counsel, accountant, consultant, recordkeeper or other professional who
is employed or engaged by the Administrator or the Company.

 

3.06 Indemnification of Administrator and Trustee. The company agrees to

Employee who in good faith serves or has served in the capacity of
Administrator, as a member of a committee designated as Administrator or as an
authorized person acting on behalf of the Administrator, against any
liabilities, damages, costs and expenses occasioned by having occupied any
fiduciary position in connection with the Plan.

 

The Company agrees to indemnify and defend, to the fullest extent of the law,
any claims against the Trustee arising from actions taken by the Trustee
pursuant to instructions from the Company or the Administrator; or, if the
Trustee may not act in the absence of such instructions, its failure to act in
the absence of such instructions.

 

3.07 Costs of Administration. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
Administrator and the Trustee in administering the Plan and Trust will be paid
by the Company.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

PARTICIPATION

 

4.01 Participation. An Eligible Employee, who has satisfied the criteria
established by the Company and is selected for participation by the Company (in
its sole discretion), may become a Participant as of the first day of any
subsequent month, by delivering an executed compensation reduction agreement
(described in Section 5.02) to the Administrator (if such agreement is received
and accepted by the Administrator prior to the beginning of the month for which
such compensation reduction election is to be effective).

 

4.02 Notice to Participants. The Administrator will inform each Employee who
becomes eligible to participate in the Plan of his eligibility to participate
(and execute a compensation reduction agreement).

 

ARTICLE V

 

DEFERRALS AND MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

 

5.01 Supplemental (Deferral) Contributions. For each Participant, who has in
effect for any pay period an effective compensation reduction agreement and
otherwise is receiving Plan Compensation from a Participating Employer during
such pay period, the Employer will reduce the Participant’s Plan Compensation by
(and the Company will record as a Supplemental Contribution) the amount (or
percentage) of Plan Compensation specified in such Participant’s compensation
reduction agreement. Each unfunded Supplemental Contribution will be credited to
the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account, in accordance with Section
7.02.

 

Page 5 of 11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.02 Compensation Reduction Agreements. For purposes of Section 5.01, a
“compensation reduction agreement” is a written agreement between a Participant
and his Participating Employer that satisfies the requirements of this Section
5.02. Each agreement will provide that the Participant’s Plan Compensation will
be reduced by the amount specified in the agreement. The aggregate compensation
reduction for each Plan Year, however, shall not exceed the Internal Revenue
Code Section 415 “annual additions” dollar limit in force for that Plan Year
(for example, $41,000 for year 2004). Each agreement will be in a form
prescribed or approved by the Administrator. Further, each executed agreement
received and accepted by the Administrator in accordance with Section 4.01 will
be:

 

(a) irrevocable while the agreement is in effect with respect to Plan
Compensation already earned; but

 

(b) revocable as to future pay (in accordance with the terms of the Plan, as
provided below).

 

Otherwise, a Participant may elect to increase or decrease the amount by which
his future Plan Compensation is to be reduced, by delivering a new compensation
reduction agreement prior to the beginning of the month for which such new
election is to be effective.

 

5.03 Matching Contributions. The Participating Employer shall provide to the
Company, with respect to each Participant’s Matching Contribution Account for
each Plan Year, an amount equal to the lesser of:

 

(a) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Participant’s Supplemental
Contribution for the Plan Year; or

 

(b) four percent (4%) of the Participant’s Plan Compensation for the Plan Year.

 

The Administrator shall estimate the unfunded Matching Contributions that will
need to be recorded by the Company for the Participant during the Plan Year
(based on the Participant’s compensation reduction agreement and expected Plan
Compensation). The Administrator then shall divide the tentative, Matching
Contribution for the Plan Year by the number of pay periods for the Participant
for the Plan Year. The appropriate portion of the tentative Matching
Contribution for the Plan Year, as determined above, will be credited to the
Participant’s unfunded Matching Contribution Account at the same time that the
Participant’s Supplemental Contributions are credited (after each pay period).
Otherwise, the Employer or the Company may forward funds equivalent to such
amount to the Trustee, as the Company elects.

 

Following the end of each Plan Year, the Administrator shall adjust each
Participant’s final Matching Contributions for the completed Plan Year (to the
final correct amount), by making a credit to, or deduction from, such
Participant’s Matching Contribution Account (generally by January 31 of the
following year).

 

If a Participant separates from employment prior to the end of the Plan Year,
however, the Administrator generally shall proceed with final adjustment of the
separated Participant’s Matching Contributions (by making a final credit to, or
final deduction from, such Participant’s Matching Contribution Account by the
last day of the month that next follows the Participant’s separation).

ARTICLE VI

 

TRUST FUNDS

 

6.01 “Unfunded Plan”. The Plan shall be and remain “unfunded” for federal income
tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. The Plan shall constitute
only an unfunded promise by the Company to make future Plan benefit payments.
Nevertheless, for the convenience of the Company, a trust fund (or trust funds)
may be established to invest certain Company assets for the purpose of paying
certain benefits. Any such trust shall be maintained for the benefit of the
Company (or, in any case, subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors). No
Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right, title, or interest in, or to,
any trust asset (and all assets shall remain subject to the claims of the
Company’s creditors).

 

6.02 Appointment of Trustee. The Company may appoint, by written notice, one or
more individuals or corporations to act as Trustee under the Plan; and, may
remove and appoint a successor to any such person or persons (at any time). The
Trustee, and any Successor Trustee, shall be entitled to written notice from the
Company, stating the date on which the removal is effective. Written notice of
removal, resignation or appointment shall be provided to all Trustees under the
Plan. The Company may enter into a separate trust agreement with the Trustee and
make such amendments to such trust agreement or such further agreements as the
Company, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable.

 

6.03 Investment Funds Within the Trust Fund. All contributions to a Trust (and
all investments thereunder) shall be held by the Trustee in the applicable Trust
Fund. The Trust Fund shall consist of Stock held by the Trustee, all cash held
by the Trustee resulting from the receipt of dividends or other distributions on
Stock held in the Trust, and all contributions paid in cash. All cash held by
the Trustee is to be invested in Stock as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

The Trustee, as directed by the Company, shall have the right to vote stock held
in the Trust Fund, personally or by proxy, and to delegate the Trustee’s powers
and discretions with respect to stock to a proxy.

 

6.04 Acquisition of Stock. The Trustee shall purchase the Stock required for the
Trust from such sources, and at such prices, as the Trustee shall determine in
its sole discretion.

 

6.05 Investment of Contributions and Earnings. All amounts credited to a
Participant’s Supplemental Account and his Matching Contribution Account
thereunder shall be hypothetically invested in Company Stock on the Plan’s
records, as provided under the Plan’s provisions. Otherwise, any cash
contributions delivered by the Company to a Trustee shall be invested in Company
Stock as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

6.06 Protection of Trustee and Limitation of Liability. Each Trustee shall be
fully protected in acting upon any instrument, certificate, or document believed
by it to be genuine. The Trustee agrees to hold in trust and administer the
Trust Fund subject to the terms and conditions of the Company, including as set
forth under the Plan. The Trustee’s responsibility shall be limited to holding
and investing the assets of the Fund in its possession (including voting Stock
as provided in Section 6.03).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE VII

 

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

 

7.01 Accounts. The Administrator shall maintain on its books for each
Participant a Supplemental Contribution Account and a Matching Contribution
Account. The Trustee may establish and maintain such sub-accounts as it deems
necessary or desirable to fulfill the provisions of the Plan.

 

7.02 Adjustments of Accounts. The Administrator shall, as of each Valuation
Date:

 

(a) First, with respect to each Participant, reduce the balance of his
Supplemental Contribution Account (until exhausted) and then the balance of his
Matching Contribution Account, by the aggregate amount of all withdrawals and
distributions provided to the Participant (or his Beneficiary) since the
preceding Valuation Date;

 

(b) Second, credit each Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account with the
sum of the Supplemental Contributions made for his benefit for the period ending
on such Valuation Date;

 

(c) Third, credit each Participant’s Matching Contribution Account with the
Matching Contributions made for his benefit for the period ending on such
Valuation Date; and

 

(d) Fourth, adjust the respective balances of each Participant’s Supplemental
Contribution Account and Matching Contribution Account, to reflect the
hypothetical earnings, losses and current fair market value allocable to such
accounts, whether by reference to any Trust established by the Company for its
convenience or otherwise.

 

In adjusting each unfunded account under subsection (d) above to track the
current value of assets in a Trust Fund, the Administrator will allocate to each
account (in proportion to the balances therein immediately prior to such
adjustment) an amount equal to the gain and loss (realized and unrealized) on
the assets of the Trust Fund, valued at fair market value (including any costs
of operating the Trust). In the case of each Participant (including any former
Participant or Beneficiary), the Plan shall continue to maintain the unfunded
accounts described herein, and adjust such accounts in the manner set forth
above, until such Participant’s accounts are distributed in their entirety.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

 

8.01 Separation from Employment. Upon the Participant’s separation from
employment for any reason, each Participant (or his designated Beneficiary) will
receive a Stock distribution in an amount equal to the final balance of his
Supplemental Contribution Account and Matching Contribution Account, determined
as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date his
employment ends. Any remaining amounts held for the Participant (Beneficiary)
under such Accounts that are equal only to a fractional share of Stock shall be
paid in cash. Any payment required under this Section shall be made no later
than 60 days from the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date
employment ends.

 

Page 8 of 11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.02 Payments to Beneficiary. If the Participant dies prior to receiving all
Payments due him under the Plan, the Company (or the Trustee, at the direction
of the Company) shall distribute all payments then due the Participant to the
Participant’s Beneficiary (at the time provided for in the Plan and in the
amount that would have been provided to the Participant had he survived).

 

8.03 Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may from time to time, by signing
a form approved by the Administrator, designate any legal or natural person or
persons (who may be designated contingently or successively) to whom payments
are to be made if the Participant dies before receiving payment of all amounts
due hereunder. A beneficiary designation form will be effective only after the
signed form is filed with the Administrator while the Participant is alive (and
such designation will cancel, immediately upon filing, all beneficiary
designations signed and filed previously). If the Participant fails to designate
a Beneficiary as provided above, or if all designated Beneficiaries of the
Participant die before the Participant or before complete payment of all amounts
due hereunder, the Company shall pay any unpaid amounts to the Participant’s
estate.

 

8.04 Unsecured Contractual Obligation. The Company’s (any Employer’s) obligation
to make payments to any person under this Agreement is purely contractual, and
the parties do not intend that the amounts payable hereunder be held by the
Company “in trust” for the benefit of the Participant. Participants (and
Beneficiaries) shall have only the status of unsecured creditors of the Company
with respect to Plan benefits.

 

8.05 Benefits Non-Assignable. Benefits payable to, or for the benefit of, a
Participant or Beneficiary shall not be assignable and shall not be subject to
the claims of creditors of such Participant or Beneficiary.

 

8.06 Claims Procedure. Any claim by a Participant or his Beneficiary (hereafter
“Claimant”) for benefits shall be submitted to the Administrator. The
Administrator shall be responsible for deciding whether such claim properly
relates to benefits provided by the Plan (and thus is a “Covered Claim”) and for
providing a final decision with respect to such claim. In addition, the
Administrator shall provide a full and fair review of the claim, in accordance
with the procedures described below.

 

Each Claimant or other interested person shall file with the Administrator such
pertinent information as the Administrator may specify, in such manner and form
as the Administrator may specify and provide. Such person shall not have any
rights or be entitled to any benefits or further benefits hereunder, as the case
may be, unless such information is filed by the Claimant (or on behalf of the
Claimant). Each Claimant shall supply at such times and in such manner, as may
be required, written proof that the benefit is covered under the Plan.

 

If it is determined that a Claimant has not incurred a Covered Claim or if the
Claimant fails to furnish such proof as is requested, no benefits or further
benefits hereunder, as the case may be, shall be payable to such Claimant.

 

Notice of a decision by the Administrator with respect to any claim shall be
furnished to the Claimant within 90 days following the receipt of the claim by
the Administrator (or within 90 days following the expiration of the initial
90-day period, in a case where there are special circumstances requiring
extension of time for processing the claim). If special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing the claim, written notice of the extension
shall be furnished by the Administrator to the Claimant before the expiration of
the initial 90-day period. The notice of extension shall describe the special
circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the notice of
decisions with respect to the claim shall be furnished.

 

Page 9 of 11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commencement of benefit payments shall constitute notice of approval of a claim
to the extent of the amount of the approved benefit. If such claim is wholly or
partially denied, such notice shall be in writing and shall set forth (i) the
specific reason or reasons for the denial; (ii) specific references to pertinent
provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any
additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the
claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and
(iv) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure. If the Administrator
fails to notify the Claimant of the decision regarding his or her claim, the
claim shall be deemed denied and the Claimant shall then be permitted to proceed
with the claims review procedure provided herein.

 

Within 60 days following receipt by the Claimant of notice of the claim denial,
or within 60 days following the close of the 90-day period referred to herein if
the Administrator fails to notify the Claimant of the decision within such
90-day period, the Claimant may appeal denial of the claim by filing a written
application for review of the claim with the Administrator. Following such
request for review, the Administrator shall fully and fairly review the decision
denying the claim, Before the Administrator makes its decision, the Claimant
shall be given an opportunity to review pertinent documents and to submit issues
and comments to the Administrator in writing. The decision of the Administrator
shall be made within 60 days following receipt by the Administrator of the
request for review (or within 120 days after such receipt, in a case where there
are special circumstances requiring extension of time for reviewing such denied
claim). The Administrator shall deliver its decision to the Claimant in writing.
If the decision on review is not furnished within the prescribed time, the claim
shall be deemed denied on review.

 

For all purposes under the Plan, the decision with respect to a claim (if no
review is requested) or the decision with respect to a claim review (if review
is requested) shall be final, binding and conclusive on all interested parties.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

9.01 Amendment. The Plan shall terminate automatically without further action of
the Board of Directors of the Company on the tenth anniversary of the date in
April, 2004, on which the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan. Prior to
such date, the Company reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the
Plan, in whole or in part, at any time (including, without limitation, an
amendment to extend the date on which the Plan will automatically terminate as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence). Any such amendment,
modification or termination of the Plan shall be made by a resolution adopted by
the Board of Directors and communicated to Participants within a reasonable time
following the later of the date of adoption or the effective date of such
action. Neither the termination of the Plan nor any amendment to the Plan,
however, shall retroactively reduce any benefit payable to the Participant or
Beneficiary (to the extent that such benefit was accrued and vested prior to the
amendment, modification or termination).

 

9.02 Distributions Upon Termination of the Plan. Upon any termination of the
Plan, if and as directed by the Administrator in writing, the Trustee will make
distributions to each Participant in an amount equal to the entire balance of
the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account and Matching Contribution
Account (determined as of

Administrator otherwise directs). Upon completion of account distributions to
all Participants (by the Company or any Trustee), the Plan will terminate, the
Company and the Administrator will be relieved from all liability under the
Plan, and no Participant or other person will have any further claims rights or
other rights thereunder.
