(within the meaning of Code Section 416(i)) at any time during the Determination
Year or the Look-Back Year, or (2) for the Look-Back Year had compensation from
the Employer or a Related Employer in excess of $80,000 and was in the Top-Paid
Group. The $80,000 amount is adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as
under Code Section 415(d), except that the base period is the calendar quarter

5

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

For purposes of this Section, the Determination Year is the Plan Year for which
the determination is being made, and the Look-Back Year is the 12 month period
immediately preceding the Determination Year.

A highly compensated former Employee is determined based on the rules applicable
to determining highly compensated employee status as in effect for that
Determination Year, in accordance with Section 1.414(q)-lt, A-4 of the temporary
income tax regulations and Notice 97-75.

The determination of who is a Highly Compensated Employee, including the number
and identity of Employees in the top-paid group and the compensation that is
considered, will be made in accordance with Code Section 414(q) and the
regulations thereunder.

Section 2.23. Hour of Service.

 

  (a) Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the
performance of duties for the Employer and any Related Employer. These hours
shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period in which the duties
are performed.

 

  (b) Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, by the
Employer and any Related Employer on account of a period of time during which no
duties are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has
terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including
disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence:

 

  (1) No more than 501 hours are required to be credited under this paragraph to
an Employee on account of any single continuous period during which the Employee
performs no duties (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation
period);

 

  (2) An hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled
to payment, on account of a period during which no duties are performed is not
required to be credited to the Employee if such payment is made or due under a
plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with applicable workers’
compensation, or unemployment compensation or disability insurance laws; and

 

  (3) Hours are not required to be credited for a payment which solely
reimburses an Employee for medical or medically related expenses incurred by the
Employee.

 

  (c) Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation or damages, is
either awarded or agreed to by the Employer. The same hours shall not be
credited both under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, and
under this paragraph (c). Hours for which back pay is awarded or agreed to shall
be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods to which the
award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in which the
award, agreement or payment is made.

 

6

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

  (d) Where the Employer maintains the plan of a predecessor employer, service
for such predecessor employer shall be treated as service with the Employer.

 

  (e) A salaried Employee who is not paid on an hourly basis shall be credited
with 45 Hours of Service for each week during which the Employee would be
credited with at least one Hour of Service.

 

  (f) Hours under this Section shall be calculated and credited pursuant to
Department of Labor Regulation Section 2530.200b-2, which is incorporated herein
by reference.

 

  (g) Solely for purposes of determining whether a Break in Service has
occurred, an Employee or former Employee who is absent from work for maternity
or paternity leave shall receive credit either for the Hours of Service, as
described in paragraphs (a) through (f) above, which otherwise would have been
credited to such Employee or former Employee but for such absence, or in any
case in which such Hours of Service cannot be determined, eight Hours of Service
per day of absence. The total number of Hours of Service credited under this
paragraph (g) shall not exceed 501. Hours of Service pursuant to this paragraph
shall be credited in the computation period during which the absence begins if
doing so would prevent an Employee from incurring a one-year Break in Service in
that computation period. In any other case, these hours shall be credited in the
following computation period. For purposes of this paragraph, an absence from
work for maternity or paternity leave means an absence (1) by reason of
pregnancy of the Employee or former Employee, (2) by reason of the birth of a
child of the Employee or former Employee, (3) by reason of placement of a child
with the Employee or former Employee in connection with the adoption of such
child by such Employee or former Employee, or (4) for purposes of caring for
such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.
Notwithstanding the above, no credit shall be given for Hours of Service
pursuant to this paragraph (g) unless the Employee or former Employee furnishes
sufficient information to the Plan Administrator or the Committee to establish
that the absence is due to maternity or paternity leave and the number of days
of such absence.

 

  (h) Solely for the purpose of determining whether a Break in Service for
participation and vesting purposes has occurred, an Employee or former Employee
who is absent from work due to a Leave or Absence or service in the uniformed
services shall receive credit for 40 Hours of Service per week or eight Hours of
Service per working day; provided, that the Employee returns to employment with
the Employer at the end of the Leave of Absence or within the time period
prescribed by law for return from service in the uniformed services.

Section 2.24. Inactive Participant. Any person who terminates employment or
otherwise ceases to be a Participant but whose interest in the Trust Fund has
not been wholly distributed.

Section 2.25. Leave of Absence. Any absence authorized by the Employer under its
standard personnel practices as applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory
manner to all persons similarly situated. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to
qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code
Section 414(u).

Article 3

Eligibility and Participation

Section 3.1. Eligibility. All Qualified Employees who were Participants in the
Plan on December 31, 2005 shall continue to participate in the Plan as of
January 1, 2006. Any other Qualified Employee who has completed 60 days of
service after attaining age 21, shall become a Participant at the time specified
in Section 3.2.

Section 3.2. Participation. Any Qualified Employee who has satisfied the
requirements of Section 3.1 shall be eligible to become a Participant on the
Entry Date next following the date on which such requirements are met unless
such Employee separated from service and did not return to employment before his
Entry Date.

Once a Qualified Employee becomes a Participant, he shall remain a Participant
until he terminates employment with an Employer, regardless of the number of
Hours of Service he completes in a Plan Year.

A Qualified Employee who terminates employment after meeting the requirements of
Section 3.1 and is rehired shall be eligible to become a Participant on the
later of his Date of Reemployment or his original Entry Date.

Section 3.3. Transfer to or from Eligible Class of Employees. If a Participant
is no longer a Qualified Employee and becomes ineligible to participate but has
not incurred a Break in Service, such Employee will be eligible to participate
again immediately upon becoming a Qualified Employee.

If an Employee who is not a Qualified Employee becomes a Qualified Employee,
such Employee will be eligible to participate on the later of the date he
becomes a Qualified Employee, if such Employee otherwise previously would have
become a Participant, and his original Entry Date.

Section 3.4. Service with a Related Employer. A Participant who transfers
employment to a Related Employer not adopting the Plan shall remain covered by
the Plan but shall become an Inactive Participant and share in Employer
contributions only until the end of the Plan Year in which such transfer occurs.
Such contributions shall be determined by taking into account only Compensation
received while a Participant. If an Inactive Participant is transferred again to
the Employer, he shall be eligible to participate in the Plan on his date of
transfer. If an Inactive Participant remains in the employ of a Related Employer
not adopting the Plan until his termination of employment, his benefits shall be
calculated based on the provisions of Articles 5 and 7.

 

10

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

Section 3.5. Service as a Leased Employee. Each “leased employee,” within the
meaning of Code Section 414(n)(2), shall be considered an Employee or an
employee of a Related Employer, as appropriate, for purposes of determining
whether the Plan satisfies the minimum coverage requirements of Code
Section 410(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leased employee shall not be so
considered if the leased employee is covered by a money purchase pension plan
providing for a nonintegrated employer contribution of at least ten percent of
compensation, full and immediate vesting, and immediate participation, and
leased employees do not constitute more than 20 percent of the Employer’s
nonhighly compensated work force.

If a leased employee is subsequently hired as an Employee, service while a
leased employee shall be considered when determining such Employee’s Years of
Service.

Section 3.6. Qualified Military Service. Notwithstanding any provisions of this
Plan to the contrary, effective December 12, 1994, the Plan will provide
contributions, benefits, and service credit with respect to qualified military
service in accordance with Code Section 414(u).

 

11

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

Article 4

Contributions

Section 4.1. Employee Deferrals. Prior to becoming a Participant, an Employee
who has met the requirements of Section 3.1 may elect to defer whole percentages
between one percent and 50 percent of his Compensation (or such larger or
smaller percentage as may, from time to time, be set by the Committee) during
the Plan Year for which the election is being made. If such election is not made
prior to the first Entry Date following eligibility, then he shall be eligible
to make a deferral election in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee, such election to be effective as soon as administratively feasible
after such deferral election is made. The election shall specify the percentage
to be deferred and contributed to the Trust.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Qualified Employee hired on or
after January 2, 1999, shall be deemed to have elected to defer one percent of
his Compensation into the Plan effective as of the first Entry Date following
completion of the eligibility requirements under Section 3.1 unless the
Qualified Employee makes an affirmative election not to make a deferral
contribution or elects a different deferral amount.

Except as otherwise provided in the next paragraph, in no event shall a
Participant’s deferrals to this Plan or any other qualified plan maintained by
the Employer during any calendar year exceed the dollar limit contained in Code
Section 402(g) in effect for such calendar year.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, Participants who will
attain age 50 or older before the end of the Plan year shall be eligible to make
catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of
Code Section 414(v). Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account
for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations
of Code Sections 402(g) and 415. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to
satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code
Sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)12, 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by
reason of the making of such catch-up contributions.

A Participant may change his deferral percentage in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee, effective as soon as administratively feasible
after such change is made.

 

12

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

For purposes of this Section 4.1, Compensation used for determining the amount
of any deferral shall be Compensation for the Plan Year for which such election
is made, including any increases in Compensation during the Plan Year.

Deferrals made pursuant to this Section shall be paid to the Trustee and
credited to the Participant’s Employee Deferral Account. Any amounts not elected
to be deferred shall be paid to the Participant as current Compensation.

Notwithstanding the above, a Participant who has received a hardship
distribution described in Section 8.2 shall not be eligible to make deferrals
during the 6 consecutive month period beginning on the date of the distribution.

A Participant may assign to the Plan any deferrals made during a taxable year
that exceed the $15,000 (as adjusted) limitation (“excess deferrals”) by
notifying the Plan Administrator in writing on or before April 1 of the year
following the year in which the deferrals were made of the amount of such excess
deferrals to be assigned to the Plan. A Participant shall be deemed to have
notified the Plan Administrator of excess deferrals to the extent the
Participant has excess deferrals for a taxable year determined by taking into
account only elective deferrals under the Plan and other qualified plans
maintained by the Employer.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the excess deferrals assigned
to the Plan, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be
distributed no later than April 15 to any Participant who assigned such excess
deferrals to the Plan for the preceding year.

The income or loss allocable to excess deferrals shall be calculated under the
same method used in Section 9.3 to allocate income or loss to Participants’
accounts. Alternatively, the income or loss allocable to excess deferrals shall
be calculated by multiplying the income or loss allocable to the Participant’s
Employee Deferral Account for the Participant’s taxable year (or up to the date
of distribution, as designated by the Committee) by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Participant’s excess deferrals for the year and the denominator of
which is the balance of the Participant’s Employee Deferral Account at the
beginning of the taxable year plus the Participant’s deferrals for the taxable
year (or up to the date of distribution, as designated by the Committee).
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the date of distribution is after the
end of the Participant’s taxable year, the Committee may elect to calculate the
income or loss attributable to the period between the end of the taxable year
and the date of distribution by using the method described in the preceding
sentence to calculate the income or loss to the end of the Participant’s taxable
year and then multiplying ten percent of the result of that calculation by the
number of

 

13

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

calendar months that have elapsed since the end of the taxable year. For
purposes of calculating the number of calendar months that have elapsed since
the end of the taxable year, a corrective distribution made on or before the
15th day of the month is treated as made on the last day of the preceding month.
A distribution made after the 15th day of the month is treated as made on the
first day of the next month. The same method of calculating income or loss on
excess deferrals must be used consistently for all Participants and all
corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year.

Section 4.2. Employer Matching Contributions. The Employer shall contribute to
the Trust on behalf of each Participant matching contributions equal to 100
percent of the first 3 percent and 50 percent of the next 2 percent of
Compensation deferred by the Participant during the Plan Year. The matching
contributions shall apply to the Plan Year as a whole, but shall be made and
allocated as of the last Adjustment Date in each calendar quarter to the
Participants who made deferrals of Compensation during that calendar quarter
and/or, if applicable, during a prior calendar quarter of the Plan Year.

Section 4.3. Employer Discretionary Contributions. In addition to Employer
matching contributions, the Employer may contribute to the Trust for each Plan
Year such amount as the Board shall determine for such Plan Year; provided, that
the total contributions for any such Plan Year shall not exceed the maximum
amount deductible by the Employer for such Plan Year for federal income tax
purposes, including any credit carry-over from one or more prior Plan Years.
Employer discretionary contributions may be paid to the Trust in cash or shares
of Employer Stock, as determined by the Board.

If an Employee does not receive an allocation due to clerical error or other
reasonable cause, the Employer may contribute to the Trust such amount as the
Committee shall determine, as approved by the Board.

As of the December 31 Adjustment Date, the Employer discretionary contributions
and any forfeitures under Article 7 shall be allocated among Participants
employed on the last day of the Plan Year who completed a Year of Service, or
who were on Leave of Absence during the Plan Year, in the same proportion that
each such Participant’s Compensation bears to the total Compensation of all such
Participants for such Plan Year. Employer discretionary contributions and
forfeitures shall be allocated to a Participant’s Employer Discretionary
Contribution Account.

Section 4.4. Rollover Contributions. With the consent of the Committee, an
Employee who has been a participant in a qualified retirement plan; Code
Section 403(b) annuity contract; an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) that
is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or
instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state; or an individual
retirement account or annuity

 

14

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

described in Code Section 408(a) or (b) may transfer assets (other than
after-tax contributions) by rollover from such plan to the Trust. Such
transferred assets will be fully vested at all times. Any such transferred
assets shall be held in a separate Employee Rollover Contribution Account in the
name of the Participant and shall reflect the net earnings or net losses of the
trust fund. However, such assets may be commingled for investment purposes and
invested in the same manner as other trust assets. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no amount may be transferred to the Plan from another plan if, as a
result of such transfer, the Plan would be required to comply with Code
Section 401(a)(11) as a transferee plan.

In addition, at the request of an Inactive Participant, the assets held on his
behalf may be transferred to the plan of a successor employer (with the consent
of the successor employer) or to an individual retirement account.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a distributee may
elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any
portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible
retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. A direct
rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by
the distributee.

An “eligible rollover distribution” is any distribution of all or any portion of
the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover
distribution does not include any distribution that is one of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made
for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or
joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated
beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to
the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); any
hardship distribution described in Code Section 410(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV); and the
portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined
without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to
employer securities).

An Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account described in
Code Section 408(a); an individual retirement annuity described in Code
Section 408(b); an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a); a qualified
trust described in Code Section 401(a); an annuity contract described in Code
Section 403(b); and an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is
maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or
instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state, that accept the
distributee’s eligible rollover distribution and agree to separately account for
amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. A “distributee” includes an
Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s
surviving spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s spouse or former spouse
who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as
defined in Code Section 414(p), are distributees with regard to the interest of
the spouse or former spouse.

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

Section 4.5. Return of Employee Deferrals. Each Participant shall at all times
be fully vested in the amount in his Employee Deferral Account, but a
Participant or his Beneficiary shall be entitled to payment of the amount
credited to such account only upon the occurrence of an event described in; and
in accordance with, this Article 4 or Articles 5, 6 or 7.

 

16

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

Article 5

Benefits

Section 5.1. Normal Retirement and Delayed Retirement Date. A Participant shall
be eligible to retire and receive a retirement benefit effective as of his
Normal Retirement Date. If the Participant remains in the employ of the Employer
after his Normal Retirement Date, he shall continue to be a Participant in the
Plan until his actual retirement. The Participant’s benefit shall be available
for distribution as soon as administratively feasible after the Adjustment Date
coincident with or next succeeding such retirement.

Section 5.2. Early Retirement. A Participant or Inactive Participant who has not
attained his Normal Retirement Date shall be eligible to retire and receive a
retirement benefit effective as of the earlier of (a) the first day of the month
following the later of (1) attainment of age 60 and completion of 15 Years of
Service, or (2) the tenth anniversary of the date the Participant or Inactive
Participant commenced participation in the Plan, and (b) the date on which the
Participant retires pursuant to an early retirement incentive window offered by
the Employer. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, the Participant’s
benefit shall be payable to him pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof.

Section 5.3. Disability Retirement. A Participant who has not attained his
Normal Retirement Date shall be eligible to retire and receive a retirement
benefit effective as of the first day of the month following the date of the
Participant’s termination of service with the Employer or a Related Employer as
a result of permanent disability. For this purpose, “permanent disability” shall
mean disability due to injury, disease or mental condition that has continued
for at least six months; prevents the Participant from engaging in substantial
gainful activity for which he is qualified or reasonably may become qualified;
can be expected to result in death or continue for an indefinite period, as
determined by the Committee based on a certificate from a physician approved by
the Committee; and for which the Participant is eligible for and receiving
Social Security disability benefits. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.6,
the Participant’s benefit shall be payable to him pursuant to Section 5.4
hereof.

Section 5.4. Method of Settlement. Each Participant or Inactive Participant may
elect to have his vested account balance distributed in a single lump sum, in
approximately equal annual installments, or a combination thereof. If
distribution is made in installments, the total amount credited to the accounts
of the Inactive Participant shall remain in the Fund and shall be adjusted as of
each Adjustment Date as provided in the Plan, and the installments shall be
modified annually to reflect such adjustments. If the Participant dies prior to
the exhaustion of his accounts, the payments shall continue to his Beneficiary
in the manner chosen by the Participant, subject to the provisions of Article 6.

 

17

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

In no event shall payments under the installment method extend beyond the later
of the lifetime of the Participant, the lifetime of the Participant and the
Participant’s Beneficiary, the life expectancy of the Participant or the joint
life expectancies of the Participant and his Beneficiary.

The value of any account balance for purposes of any distribution made under
this Plan shall be determined as of the Adjustment Date on which such
distribution is processed.

Section 5.5. Commencement of Benefits.

 

  (a) Unless a Participant elects otherwise, benefits under the Plan must begin
no later than the 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest
of the following events occurs:

 

  (1) the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age,

 

  (2) the Participant terminates his service with the Employer, or

 

  (3) the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commences
participation in the Plan.

A Participant may elect to defer payment until his Required Beginning Date, as
defined below.

 

  (b) Benefits for a Participant or Inactive Participant must begin no later
than the earlier of the time specified in Section 5.5(a) or the Participant’s or
Inactive Participant’s Required Beginning Date, as defined in (c) below.

 

  (c) The Required Beginning Date of a Participant or Inactive Participant is
the later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which
the Participant attains age 70 1/2 or retires, except that benefit distributions
to a 5-percent owner must commence by April 1 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Participant (other than a 5-percent
owner) attaining age 70 1/2 in calendar years after 1995 and before 1999 may
elect by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
Participant attained age 70 1/2 (or by December 31, 1997 in the case of a
Participant attaining age 70 1/2 in 1996) to defer distributions until the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participants retires. If
no such election is made, the Participant will begin receiving distributions by
the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
Participant attained age 70 1/2 (or by December 31, 1997, in the case of a
Participant attaining age 70 1/2 in 1996).

For purposes of this Section, a Participant or Inactive Participant is
considered a five-percent owner if such Participant or Inactive Participant is a
five-percent owner as defined in Section 10.3(c) without regard to whether the
Plan is top-heavy, in any Plan Year beginning with the Plan Year in which the
Participant attains age 66 1/2.

 

18

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

  (d) Once distributions have begun to a five-percent owner under this Section,
they must continue to be distributed, even if the Participant or Inactive
Participant ceases to be a five-percent owner in a subsequent year.

Section 5.6. Consent Requirement. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the
contrary, no distribution shall commence to a Participant or Inactive
Participant prior to age 65 without the written consent of the Participant or
Inactive Participant, unless his or her vested account balance does not exceed
$5,000. The consent of the Participant shall be obtained in writing within the
90-day period ending on the “annuity starting date”. The “annuity starting date”
is the first day of the first period for which an amount is paid as an annuity
or in any other form. The Committee shall notify the Participant of the right to
defer any distribution until the Participant attains age 65. Such notification
shall include a general description of the material features, and an explanation
of the relative values of, the optional forms of benefit available under the
Plan in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Code
Section 417(a)(3) and shall be provided no less than 30 days and no more than 90
days prior to the annuity starting date. However, distribution may commence less
than 30 days after the notice described in the preceding sentence is given if
the Committee clearly informs the Participant that he has a right to a period of
at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether
or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution
option), and the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a
distribution.

The value of a Participant’s or Inactive Participant’s vested account balance
for purposes of determining whether such value exceeds $5,000, shall be
calculated without regard to the portion of his or her vested account balance
attributable to his or her Employee Rollover Contribution Account.

Notwithstanding the above, effective March 28, 2005, if a Participant’s or
Inactive Participant’s vested account balance exceeds $1,000 but does not exceed
$5,000, and a distribution is required to be made to the Participant or Inactive
Participant pursuant to Section 5.2, 5.3, or 8.1 prior to attaining age 65, then
if the Participant or Inactive Participant does not elect to have such
distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the
Participant or Inactive Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the
distribution directly, the Plan Administrator will pay the distribution in a
direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan
Administrator.

 

19

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

Article 6

Death Benefits

Section 6.1. Amount and Payment of Death Benefits. Following the death of a
Participant or Inactive Participant, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to
receive the nonforfeitable balance of the Participant’s accounts, if any. Such
amount shall be paid to the Beneficiary in the manner selected by the
Beneficiary, subject to Sections 5.4 and 6.3. If no election is made by the
Beneficiary, such amount shall be paid in a lump sum.

Section 6.2. Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant or Inactive
Participant may name a Beneficiary on a form provided by the Plan Administrator
and delivered to the Plan Administrator. Such designation may include more than
one person with one or more secondary or contingent Beneficiaries and shall be
subject to change upon written request of such Participant or Inactive
Participant in the same manner as the original designation. If a married
Participant or Inactive Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary, he will be
deemed to have designated his spouse as his Beneficiary. If a single Participant
or Inactive Participant fails to name a Beneficiary, payment will be made to his
estate. If a Beneficiary receiving or entitled to receive payment from the Plan
dies before receiving all of the payments due him, payment shall be made to the
contingent Beneficiary, if any, in a lump sum, and if there is no contingent
Beneficiary, payment shall be made to the estate of the Beneficiary in a lump
sum. If a contingent Beneficiary receiving or entitled to receive payment from
the Plan dies, payment shall be made to the estate of the contingent Beneficiary
in a lump sum.

Notwithstanding the above, a married Participant or Inactive Participant shall
be deemed to have designated his spouse as his Beneficiary unless the spouse of
such Participant or Inactive Participant consents in writing to another named
Beneficiary. The spouse’s consent must be witnessed by a Plan representative or
a notary public and must acknowledge the effect of another Beneficiary
designation. Such consent shall not be required if it is established to the
satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that the consent cannot be obtained
because there is no spouse, the spouse cannot be located or such other
circumstances exist as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe by
regulations.

Section 6.3. Payment of Death Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, any interest to which a designated Beneficiary is entitled
will be paid (1) over a period not exceeding the later of the lifetime or life
expectancy of the Beneficiary, provided such payment commences within one year
after the Participant’s death, or (2) in its entirety within five years after
the Participant’s death.

 

20

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

Notwithstanding the above, if the spouse of the Participant or Inactive
Participant is the designated Beneficiary, the date on which the distribution
must take place shall not be earlier than the date on which the deceased
Participant or Inactive Participant would have attained age 70 1/2; provided,
that if the surviving spouse dies before the distribution occurs, this Section
shall apply as if the spouse were the Participant. The spouse may elect to have
the distribution occur within the 90-day period following the date of the
Participant’s death.

If the Participant’s designated Beneficiary or spouse, if any, does not survive,
or if a single Participant fails to name a Beneficiary, distribution will be
made to the Participant’s estate within five years after the Participant’s
death.

Section 6.4. Qualified Domestic Relations Order. For purposes of this Article 6,
a former spouse will be treated as the spouse to the extent provided under a
qualified domestic relations order as described in Code Section 414(p) and
Section 13.1 of the Plan.

 

21

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

Article 7

Vesting

Section 7.1. Vesting. Each Participant shall have a fully vested interest in his
Employee Deferral Contribution Account, Employer Matching Contribution Account
and Employee Rollover Contribution Account at all times. Each Participant shall
be fully vested in his Employer Discretionary Contribution Account upon
completion of five Years of Service, attainment of Normal Retirement Age,
disability retirement or death, and the Participant shall not be fully vested in
such account before any such event.

Section 7.2. Amendment of Vesting Schedule. No amendment to the Plan shall have
the effect of decreasing a Participant’s vested percentage, or eliminating an
optional form of distribution, as of the later of the date the amendment is
adopted or the date it becomes effective. If the vesting schedule is amended,
each Participant with at least three Years of Service may elect to have his
vested percentage determined under the Plan prior to amendment during the 60-day
period beginning on the latest of (a) the date the amendment is adopted, (b) the
date the amendment becomes effective, or (c) the date the Participant receives
notice of the amendment from the Plan Administrator.

Section 7.3. Forfeitures. If a Participant’s Employer Discretionary Contribution
Account is not vested it will be forfeited as of the December 31 Adjustment Date
of the Plan Year in which the Participant’s first Break in Service occurs. The
amount of any such forfeiture shall be deducted first from the Participant’s
Cash Subaccount, and then from his Number of Shares Subaccount. All forfeitures
shall be reallocated to the Employer Discretionary Contribution Accounts of the
remaining Participants as of such Adjustment Date as provided in Section 4.3. If
the Participant returns to employment with the Employer before incurring five
consecutive Breaks in Service, his forfeited account shall be restored.

Section 7.4. Vesting Upon Reemployment. If a Participant, who at the time of a
Break in Service had any vested interest under the Plan, is reemployed, such
Participant’s Years of Service shall include all Years of Service before and
after the Break in Service. If a Participant, who at the time of a Break in
Service had no vested interest under the Plan, is reemployed, such Participant’s
Years of Service before the Break in Service shall be excluded if the
Participant’s number of consecutive Breaks in Service equals or exceeds five.

 

22

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

Article 8

Distributions

Section 8.1. Termination of Employment before Retirement. If a Participant
terminates employment before he is eligible for a retirement benefit, and his
vested interest in all his accounts exceeds $5,000, then his interest shall be
held in the Trust until the earlier of the date the Inactive Participant elects
an early retirement benefit according to Section 5.2 of this Plan or reaches his
Normal Retirement Date, unless he elects an earlier distribution as provided
below. At that time, benefits will be paid as provided in Article 5. Subject to
Section 5.6, if such Participant’s vested interest in all his accounts does not
exceed) $5,000, then his interest shall be paid to him as soon as
administratively feasible after he terminates employment.

If a terminated Participant’s vested interest exceeds $5,000, he may request a
distribution to be paid as soon as administratively feasible after he terminates
employment in accordance with Section 5.4.

The value of a Participant’s or Inactive Participant’s vested account balance
for purposes of determining whether such value exceeds $5,000, shall be
calculated without regard to the portion of his or her vested account balance
attributable to his or her Employee Rollover Contribution Account.

Section 8.2. Hardship Distributions. In case of hardship, a Participant may
apply to the Committee for distribution of all or a portion of his deferral
contributions to his Employee Deferral Account. As used in this Section, a
“hardship” will be deemed to exist if the distribution is necessary in light of
immediate and heavy financial needs of the Participant and funds to alleviate
such financial needs are not reasonably available from other resources of the
Participant.

A distribution will be deemed to be made on account of an immediate and heavy
financial need of the Participant only if the distribution is on account of:

 

  (a) Expenses incurred or necessary for medical care, described in Code
Section 213(d), for the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or any dependent
of the Participant (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed
7.5% of adjusted gross income).

 

  (b) Costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the
Participant (excluding mortgage payments).

 

23

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

  (c) Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses
for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant or
his spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, without
regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)).

 

  (d) Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his
principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s
principal residence.

 

  (e) Payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased
parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, without
regard to Code Section 152 (d)(1)(B)).

 

  (f) Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence
that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined
without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income).

 

  (g) Such other needs as may be allowable under Treasury Regulations, revenue
rulings, notices and other documents of general applicability.

A distribution deemed to be necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy
financial need of a Participant is not reasonably available from other resources
of the Participant if all of the following requirements are satisfied:

 

  (a) The distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy
financial need of the Participant. The amount of an immediate and heavy
financial need may include any amount necessary to pay any federal, state or
local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the
distribution.

 

  (b) The Participant has obtained all other currently available distributions,
(including distribution of ESOP dividends under Code Section 404(k) but not
hardship distributions), and all nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans
currently available under all plans maintained by the Employer.

 

  (c) The Participant is prohibited, under the terms of the Plan or an otherwise
legally enforceable agreement, from making elective contributions and Employee
contributions to the Plan and all other plans maintained by the Employer for at
least 6 months after receipt of the hardship distribution.

If the Committee, based on the above standards, reasonably determines that a
hardship exists or is imminent, it may direct the distribution of hardship
benefits. The hardship distribution shall be made in a lump sum payment and
shall not cause a suspension of Employer contributions, unless otherwise
required as a condition of receiving such distribution.

The amount of any hardship distribution under this Section 8.2 shall not exceed
the amount as determined by the Committee to be sufficient to alleviate the
hardship.

The Committee shall apply the provisions of this Section on a uniform and
consistent basis to all Participants in similar circumstances and shall make any
rules and regulations, prescribe the use of such forms, and exercise any other
powers it deems necessary properly to carry out the provision and intent of this
Section.

 

24

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

Section 8.3. Distributions Prior to Termination of Employment. A Participant who
has reached age 59 1/2 may elect to receive all or any part of the Participant’s
vested account balance without regard to whether the Participant has terminated
employment.

Section 8.4. QDRO Distributions. Notwithstanding anything above, a Participant’s
interest in his accounts may be paid out immediately under a qualified domestic
relations order pursuant to Section 13.1 of this Plan.

 

25

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

Article 9

Accounts

Section 9.1. Committee Responsibility. The Committee shall determine the
Participants, Inactive Participants and Beneficiaries who are entitled to one or
more of the allocations hereinafter described, and it shall, as of each
Adjustment Date, prepare a statement showing the information necessary to make
the proper allocation. This information shall include the full names of all
Participants, Inactive Participants and Beneficiaries, the amount of Employer
matching and discretionary contributions, the amount of each Participant’s
deferral and rollover contributions and the names of the Inactive Participants
whose employment has terminated.

The Committee shall maintain for each Participant a separate Employee Deferral
Account to record his interest in the Trust Fund attributable to his deferrals,
a separate Employer Matching Contribution Account to record his interest in the
Trust Fund attributable to Employer matching contributions, a separate Employer
Discretionary Contribution Account to record his interest in the Trust Fund
attributable to Employer discretionary contributions, and a separate Employee
Rollover Contribution Account to record his interest in the Trust Fund
attributable to Employee rollover contributions.

The accounts of each Participant shall be made up of subaccounts reflecting the
Participant’s investment elections. Each subaccount shall be adjusted as
provided in Section 9.3.

Section 9.2. Investment Elections. Each Participant shall elect the manner in
which his deferral contributions, Employer matching contributions and rollover
contributions as well as his Employee Deferral Account, Employer Matching
Contribution Account and Employee Rollover Contribution Account are to be
invested. Investment elections shall be made in one percent increments according
to uniform procedures established by the Employer.

The Employer shall, from time to time, designate the investment funds available
for Participant-directed investments pursuant to this Section.

Section 9.3. Account Adjustments. The accounts of each Participant, Inactive
Participant and Beneficiary shall be valued based on the value or number of
shares of each Fund comprising such accounts. The fair market value of each Fund
shall be determined each Adjustment Date. When a Participant’s accounts are
credited with an allocation of any Employee deferrals, Employer contributions
and rollover contributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the value
of such allocation shall be

 

26

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

used to purchase units or shares and added to such Participant’s accounts. When
any distribution, withdrawal or transfer among Funds is charged against the
accounts of a Participant, Inactive Participant or Beneficiary in accordance
with the terms of the Plan, the number of units or shares equal in value to the
amount paid from such accounts shall be deducted from the outstanding units or
shares.

Section 9.4. Limitation on Annual Additions. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
except as provided in Section 4.1 and Code Section 414(v), annual additions to
each Participant’s accounts under all defined contribution plans sponsored by
the Employer and any Related Employer for any Limitation Year shall not exceed
the lesser of $40,000 or 100 percent of the Participant’s Compensation (as
defined below) for such Limitation Year; provided, that, if no more than
one-third of the Employer discretionary contributions for a Plan Year that are
deductible under Code Section 404(a)(9) are allocated to Highly Compensated
Employees, such limits shall not apply to forfeitures of Employer Stock acquired
with the proceeds of a loan pursuant to Article 16 or Employer discretionary
contributions that are deductible under Code Section 404(a)(9)(B) and charged
against a Participant’s account.

 

  (1)

For purposes of this Section 9.4 and Sections 9.5 and 9.6, “Compensation” shall
mean an Employee’s wages, salaries and fees for professional services and other
amounts received (without regard to whether an amount is paid in cash) for
personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the
Employer to the extent the amounts are includible in gross income, including but
not limited to, commissions paid to salesmen, compensation for services on the
basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips,
bonuses, fringe benefits and reimbursements or other expense allowances under a
nonaccountable plan; in the case of an Employee who is an employee within the
meaning of Code Section 401(c)(1) and the regulations thereunder, the Employee’s
earned income, within the meaning of Code Section 401(a)(2) and the regulations
thereunder, amounts described in Code Sections 104(a)(3), 105(a) and 105(h) to
the extent such amounts are includible in the gross income of an Employee;
amounts paid or reimbursed by the employer for moving expenses incurred by an
Employee to the extent such amounts are not deductible by the Employee under
Code Section 217; the value of a non-qualified stock option granted to an
Employee by the Employer to the extent such value is includible in the gross
income of the Employee for the taxable year in which granted; and the amount
includible in an Employee’s gross income upon making the election described in
Code Section 83(b). “Compensation” shall exclude contributions made by the
Employer to a plan of deferred compensation to the extent that, before
application of the Code Section 415 limits to that plan, the contributions are
not includible in an Employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which
contributed; Employer contributions made on an Employee’s behalf to a simplified
employee pension described in Code Section 408(k); distributions from a plan of
deferred compensation regardless of whether such amounts are includible in an
Employee’s gross income when distributed (except for any amount received by an
Employee pursuant to an unfunded, non-qualified plan in the year such amounts
are includible in his gross income); amounts realized from the exercise of a
non-qualified stock option or when restricted stock or property held by an
Employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture; amounts realized from the sale, exchange or
other disposition of stock acquired

 

27

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

 

under a qualified stock option; and other amount that receives special tax
benefits, such as premiums for group-term life insurance (to the extent such
premiums are not includible in the Employee’s gross income).

For purposes of applying the limitations of this Section, Compensation paid or
made available during such Limitation Year shall include any elective deferral
(as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3)), and any amount which is contributed or
deferred by the Employer at the election of the Employee and which is not
includible in the gross income of the employee by reason of Code Sections 125,
132(f)(4), or 457.

Compensation for any Limitation Year is the Compensation actually paid or
includable in gross income during such year.

Annual additions shall mean the aggregate of Employer contributions, Employee
deferrals, forfeitures and the Participant’s voluntary contributions allocated
to each Participant’s accounts during the Limitation Year in question. Annual
additions shall also include amounts allocated, after March 31, 1984, to an
individual medical account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), which is part
of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer and amounts derived from
contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending
after such date, which are attributable to post- retirement medical benefits
allocated to the separate account of a “key employee,” as defined in Code
Section 419A(d)(3), under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code
Section 419(e), maintained by the Employer.

If, due to reasonable error in estimating Compensation or determining the amount
of deferrals that could be made for a Participant, the annual additions made to
the Plan on behalf of any Participant exceed the maximum, the Employer shall
treat the excess amount of such annual additions as follows:

 

  (a) So much of the Participant’s deferrals (and earnings thereon) that cause
the Participant’s accounts to exceed the maximum annual additions shall be
returned to the Participant, and the corresponding Employer matching
contributions shall be held unallocated in a suspense account for the Limitation
Year and reallocated as described below.

 

  (b) Any excess amounts in the Participant’s Employer Discretionary
Contribution Account and Employer Matching Contribution Account shall be treated
as a forfeiture and reallocated to the accounts of Participants who are not
affected by this limitation pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3. Any
amount that cannot be reallocated shall be held in a suspense account for the
Limitation Year and shall be allocated and reallocated to the Participants’
accounts in the next succeeding Limitation Year before any Employer
contributions which would constitute annual additions may be made to the Plan
for that Limitation Year. Any amounts remaining in the suspense account
following such allocation and reallocation shall be used to reduce the Employer
contribution for succeeding Limitation Years.

 

  (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Employer shall not
contribute any amount that would cause an allocation to a suspense account as of
the date the contribution is allocated. If the contribution is made prior to the
date as of which it is to be allocated, then such contribution shall not exceed
an amount that would cause an allocation to the suspense account if the date of
contribution were an Adjustment Date.

 

28

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

  (d) If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a Limitation Year
pursuant to this Section, it will not participate in the allocation of Trust
investment gains and losses pursuant to Section 9.3.

The $40,000 maximum annual addition shall be adjusted to reflect any cost of
living increases pursuant to Code Section 415(d).

Contributions do not fail to be annual additions merely because they are excess
deferrals, or merely because such excess deferrals are corrected through
distribution or recharacterization.

A Participant may not choose to defer an amount that would cause the annual
additions to the Plan alone to exceed the maximum allowed.

Section 9.5. Loans to Participants

(a) At the request of a Participant, Inactive Participant, or Beneficiary to
whom loans must be made available under Department of Labor Regulations, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may lend such individual an amount which,
when added to the individual’s outstanding loans from this Plan and any other
plan maintained by this Employer or a Related Employer, is not in excess of the
lesser of:

 

  (1) $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of:

 

  (A) The highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the one-year
period ending on the day before the date on which such loan was made, over

 

  (B) The outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which such
loan was made, or

 

  (2) Fifty percent of his vested interest in his account balances as of the
Adjustment Date coinciding with or immediately preceding the date of the loan.

In no event, however, shall a loan be made to an individual if the granting of
such loan would cause the Plan to violate the nondiscrimination requirements of
Code Section 401(a)(4). All decisions by the Committee on loan applications
shall be made on a reasonably equivalent, uniform and nondiscriminatory basis.
However, the Committee may apply different terms and conditions for eligible
borrowers who are not actively employed by the Employer, or for whom payroll
deduction is not available, and the Committee may change the terms of an
outstanding loan to the extent required by applicable law.

 

29

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

  (b) All loans made pursuant to the above subsection (a) must be in accordance
with the following loan procedures:

 

  (1) Responsible Party. The Committee shall be responsible for all loans made
under the Plan. The Committee may, however, establish a loan committee to assist
the Committee in administering the loan program.

 

  (2) Loan Application. An application for a loan shall be made to the Committee
in a form approved by the Committee.

 

  (3) Amount of Loan. The minimum loan amount shall be $1,000. The maximum loan
amount shall be governed by this Section of the Plan.

 

  (4) Interest Rate. Each loan shall bear interest at a reasonable rate, based
on the prime rate, established by the Committee as of the date the loan is made.
Such rate must be commensurate with the interest rates charged by persons in the
business of lending money for loans that would be made under similar
circumstances.

 

  (5) Term of Loan. Except as otherwise provided below, the term of any loan
shall be set by mutual agreement between the Committee and the borrower, but
such term shall in no event exceed five (5) years. Notwithstanding the above,
the term of any loan used to acquire a principal residence of a Participant may
exceed 5 years, but shall in no event exceed 10 years.

 

  (6) Collateral. Each loan shall be made against collateral, such collateral
being the assignment of up to 50 percent of the borrower’s entire right, title
and vested interest in and to his Employee Deferral Account, Employer Matching
Contribution Account, and Employer Discretionary Contribution Account supported
by the borrower’s promissory note for the amount of the loan, including
interest, payable to the order of the Trustee. For loans used to acquire a
principal residence of a Participant, additional collateral in the form of a
mortgage against the principal residence in question shall be required.

 

  (7) Loan Repayment. Repayment of loans shall be made in equal quarterly,
monthly, semi-monthly or weekly installments by payroll deduction, cash, or both
as specified in the loan agreement. Substantially level amortization (with
payments not less frequently than quarterly) is required over the term of the
loan. A borrower who is on an unpaid leave of absence must continue to make loan
repayments.

 

  (8) Number of Loans. A borrower may have only one loan outstanding at any one
time. A borrower may receive more than one loan per year, however, the borrower
cannot receive a subsequent loan earlier than three months after the most recent
prior loan is satisfied.

 

  (9) Effect on Plan Assets. In the event of a loan, the amount of such loan
shall be removed first from the Participant’s Employee Deferral Account then
from his Employer Matching Contribution and Employer Discretionary Contribution
Account and transferred to a special loan account in the name of the borrower.
As of each Adjustment Date following the making of the loan and until the loan
is repaid, all payments on the loan, including interest, shall be reallocated
from the Participant’s loan account to the accounts specified in the preceding
sentence in the same order of removal in accordance with the borrower’s
investment election in effect at that time.

 

30

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

  (10) Default. In the event payments of principal and interest are not made on
a timely basis, the Committee may either call the loan in full or charge a late
penalty fee at such rate as the Committee shall establish from time to time. If
a loan is called due to a default in payment of principal and interest, the
outstanding balance of the loan plus interest will be deducted from the
borrower’s loan account at the time the borrower or his Beneficiary receives a
distribution from the Plan.

 

  (11) Loan Acceleration. All loans which a borrower has outstanding will be
immediately due and payable if the borrower terminates employment. At that time,
the current outstanding balance of such loans, including interest, will be
deducted from his loan account.

 

  (12) Loan Origination Fee. Each borrower shall be assessed a loan origination
fee in such amount as the Committee shall determine which shall be collected at
the time the loan is made.

 

  (13) Modification of Loan Procedures. The Committee may from time to time add
to, delete, or otherwise modify these loan procedures in such manner as the
Committee deems appropriate.

 

31

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

Article 10

Top-Heavy Plan Provisions

Section 10.1. Determination Date. If, as of the Determination Date, the Plan is
a Top-Heavy Plan, as defined in Section 10.2, the provisions of this Article 10
shall apply.

The Determination Date with respect to any Plan Year shall be the last day of
the preceding Plan Year.

Section 10.2. Top-Heavy Plan.

 

  (a) The Plan shall be considered a Top-Heavy Plan, if, as of the Determination
Date, either

 

  (1) the aggregate of all account balances of Key Employees under the Plan
exceeds 60 percent of the sum of all accounts of all Employees under the Plan
excluding former Key Employees, or

 

  (2) the Plan is part of a Top-Heavy Group, as defined in Section 10.5.

Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (a), if the Plan is part of an
aggregation group, as defined in Section 10.5, that is found not to be
Top-Heavy, then the Plan shall not be a Top-Heavy Plan.

 

  (b) When determining whether the Top-Heavy rules apply for any Plan Year:

 

  (1) Rollover contributions initiated by an Employee and accepted by the Plan
after December 31, 1983 will not be recognized with respect to the Plan if such
contributions came from a plan not maintained by the Employer or a Related
Employer.

 

  (2) Any account balances for an Employee who is not currently a Key Employee,
but at one time was a Key Employee, shall not be recognized for the Plan Year
ending on the Determination Date.

 

  (3) The account balances for an Employee shall include aggregate distributions
made with respect to such Employee under the Plan during the one-year period
ending on the Determination Date, except for the distributions made to former
Key Employees excluded above, and distributions rolled over to a plan maintained
by the Employer or a Related Employer. The preceding sentence shall also apply
to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated,
would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i). In
the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service,
death or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year
period” for “1-year period.”

 

32

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

  (4) If an individual has not performed any services for the Employer at any
time during the one-year period ending on the Determination Date, any accrued
benefit or account balance for such individual shall not be taken into account.

Section 10.3. Key Employee

Key Employee shall mean any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased
Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination
Date was an officer of the Employer having annual Compensation greater than
$130,000 (as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning
after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Employer, or a 1-percent
owner of the Employer having annual Compensation of more than $150,000. For this
purpose, annual Compensation means Compensation within the meaning of Code
Section 415(c)(3).

For purposes of this Section 10.3, Employee shall mean any Employee of the
Employer or any employee of a Related Employer if the Plan is part of a
Top-Heavy Group with the plan of a Related Employer. Key Employee shall include
any beneficiary of a Key Employee, and former Key Employee shall include any
beneficiary of a former Key Employee.

For purposes of this Section, the constructive ownership rules of Code
Section 318 shall be applied by substituting “five percent” for “50 percent” in
Code Section 318(a)(2).

For purposes of determining one percent and five percent ownership, the
aggregation rules of Code Section 414(b), (c) and (m) shall not apply.

Notwithstanding anything above, the criteria used in the determination of Key
Employees shall be consistent with Code Section 416(i), and the applicable
regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

Section 10.4. Non-Key Employee shall mean any Employee who is not a Key
Employee.

Section 10.5. Top-Heavy Group.

 

  (a) Top-Heavy Group shall mean an aggregation group where the sum, as of the
Determination Date, of

 

  (1) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees
under any defined benefit plan included in the group, and

 

  (2)

the sum of the account balances of Key Employees under any defined contribution
plan included in the group exceeds 60 percent of the same amount determined for
all Employees, excluding former Key Employees, under all plans included in the
group. If the Determination Date for each plan in the aggregation group is not
the same, then the top-heavy

 

33

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

 

status of the group will be determined by adding the results for each separate
plan that fall within the same calendar year. All plans maintained by the
Employer (including plans that have terminated) during the one-year period
ending on a Determination Date must be considered in determining the Top-Heavy
Group as of that Determination Date.

 

  (b) The aggregation group must include:

 

  (1) any plan of the Employer or a Related Employer in which a Key Employee is
a participant, and

 

  (2) any plan of the Employer or a Related Employer on which a plan covering a
Key Employee depends for qualification under the requirements of Code
Section 401(a)(4) or 410.

 

  (3) At the election of the Employer, the aggregation group also may include
any plan of the Employer or a Related Employer not required to be included in an
aggregation group if such group would continue to meet the qualification
requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410. If such aggregation group is
found not to be Top-Heavy, then no plan shall be considered Top-Heavy. If such
aggregation group is found to be Top-Heavy, then all plans in the group, except
the plan which was not required to be included, will be considered Top-Heavy.

Section 10.6. Minimum Contributions and Benefits for Top-Heavy Plans. If the
Plan is or becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, then, notwithstanding the provisions of
Articles 4 and 9 and except as provided in the next paragraph of this
Section 10.6, the minimum Employer contribution for each Plan Year during which
the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan allocated to each Participant employed on the last
day of the Plan Year who is a Non-Key Employee shall be three percent of each
such Non-Key Employee’s Compensation. The minimum Employer contribution shall be
provided to each such Participant regardless of the number of Hours of Service
he completes during the Plan Year.

This minimum Employer contribution shall not exceed the percentage of
contribution made, or required to be made, for such Plan Year on behalf of the
Key Employee for whom such percentage is the highest. The highest percentage
shall be determined for each Key Employee by dividing the Employer contribution
for such Key Employee by his Compensation.

For the purposes of this Section, amounts contributed as a result of a salary
reduction agreement shall be counted as Employer contributions when determining
contributions made on behalf of Key Employees.

Matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying
the minimum contribution requirements of Code Section 416(c)(2) and the Plan.
The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under
the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement
shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer matching contributions
that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated
as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage
test and other requirements of Code Section 401(m).

 

34

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

Section 10.7. Top-Heavy Compensation. Top-Heavy Compensation shall mean
compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3), but including amounts
contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement which are
excludable from the Employee’s gross income under Code Sections 125, 402(a)(8),
402(h) and 403(b).

Section 10.8. Top-Heavy Years of Service. Top-Heavy Years of Service shall mean
Years of Service excluding Plan Years in which the Plan was not a Top-Heavy Plan
and further excluding Years of Service completed in a Plan Year beginning before
January 1, 1984.

Section 10.9. Top-Heavy Group Minimum Contribution. In the case of a Top-Heavy
Group consisting of both defined benefit and defined contribution plans, the
required minimum Employer contribution for each Top-Heavy Plan Year shall be
satisfied by the two percent minimum benefit under the defined benefit plan of
the Employer or a minimum contribution to this Plan equal to five percent of
Compensation each year the Plan is Top-Heavy, if the minimum two percent benefit
under the defined benefit plan is not provided.

The required minimum accrued benefit or Employer contribution for each Top-Heavy
Year of Service for Employees who do not participate in this Plan but who
participate in another Plan of the Top-Heavy Group shall be satisfied by
providing the minimum accrued benefit or contribution under that plan.

If the Employer maintains another qualified plan which provides a minimum
benefit or contribution, then the minimum benefit or contribution provided under
the Plan shall not, when combined with the benefit or contribution provided by
the other plan, exceed the amount required by Code Section 416(c).

Section 10.10. Top-Heavy Minimum Vesting. If the Plan is or becomes a Top-Heavy
Plan as defined in Section 10.2, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Article
7, a Participant’s Employer Discretionary Contribution Account shall be 100
percent vested after three Years of Service.

Years of Service for the purposes of vesting in a Top-Heavy Plan shall include
all Years of Service, including years prior to January 1, 1984, as well as years
during which the Plan is not considered to be a Top-Heavy Plan. When the Plan
becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, however, the account balance of any Employee who does
not complete one Hour of Service after the Plan becomes Top-Heavy is not
required to be subject to the minimum vesting schedule for Top-Heavy Plans.

When the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan, the vesting schedule shall revert
to the schedule defined in Article 7. Such reversion shall be considered a
vesting schedule amendment, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2.

be exercised in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner with respect to all
similarly situated individuals. The express grant in the Plan of any specific

taxes, and other taxes of any and all kinds whatsoever upon or in respect of the

qualified domestic relations order shall permit the payment of any benefit in
any amount, form of benefit, time of payment or option not otherwise provided

payment under the Plan shall be physically, mentally or legally incapable of

evidence of his incapacity and satisfactory evidence that another person or
institution is maintaining him and no guardian or committee has been appointed
for him, the Committee may cause any payment otherwise payable to him to be made
to such person or institution so maintaining him.

Section 13.3. Rights of Parties. The establishment of the Plan shall not be
construed as conferring any legal or other rights upon any Employee or any other
person for continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the right of
the Employer to discharge any Employee or to deal with him without regard to the
effect thereof under the Plan.

Section 13.4. Communication to Employees. The Plan Administrator shall
communicate the terms of the Plan to the Employees as required by law.

to forfeiture. The assets shall remain in trust and shall be paid to the
Participants, Inactive Participants, Beneficiaries or other successors in
interest upon the earliest event providing for distribution under the Plan.

with any other plan, or assets or liabilities of the Plan are transferred to any
other plan, the amount which each Participant in the Plan would receive if the

Committee with respect to a claim shall be furnished to the claimant within 90
days following receipt of the claim by the Plan Administrator or any member of

period if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the
claim. If special circumstances require an extension of time, written notice of

expiration of the initial 90-day period. The notice of extension shall indicate
the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the
notice of decision with respect to the claim shall be furnished. Commencement of
benefit payments shall constitute notice of approval of a claim to the extent of
the amount of the approved benefit. If a claim is wholly or partially denied,
such notice shall be in writing worded in a manner calculated to be understood
by the claimant and shall set forth (a) the specific reason or reasons for the
denial, (b) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the
denial is based, (c) a description of any additional material or information

claimant of a notice of claim denial, or within 60 days following the close of
the 90-day period referred to in Section 15.2 if the Committee 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 with the
Committee. Following such request for review, the Committee shall fully and
fairly review the decision denying the claim. Prior to the decision of the

Article 16

Provisions Regarding Employer Stock

Section 16.1. Powers of Trustee. The Trustee shall have all powers and authority
necessary for the performance of its duties, including those powers designated
in the Trust Agreement and in the Plan. Such powers shall include the power to
borrow to purchase Employer Stock as provided in this Article 16.

Section 16.2. Investments in Employer Stock.

 

  (a) It is intended that the assets of the Plan attributable to Employer
discretionary contributions made pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be invested
primarily in shares of Employer Stock that constitutes a “qualifying employer
security” within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(8), which incorporates by
reference the provisions of Code Section 409(l), which contains special
requirements regarding voting power and dividend rights of Employer Stock that
is not readily tradable. It is recognized that Employer Stock may be available
for purchase only from time to time, and the assets of the Plan may be invested
in other assets in accordance with the Trust Agreement when Employer Stock is
not readily available for purchase, even though the long-range intention is to
invest primarily in Employer Stock.

 

  (b) Accordingly, Employer discretionary contributions made pursuant to
Section 4.3 in cash and earnings attributable to such Employer contributions may
be applied at the direction of the Committee to purchase Employer Stock at not
more than its fair market value from any source available at the time. Also,
from time to time the Committee may direct the Trustee to sell Employer Stock
and make other investments as provided in the Plan; provided, that any sale of
Employer Stock shall be for at least fair market value and shall comply with any
applicable requirements regarding prohibited transactions under the Act. All
investments will be made by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the
Trust Agreement.

Section 16.3. Borrowing. The Committee may direct the Trustee to borrow funds
for the purpose of acquiring Employer Stock. The Trustee may borrow from a
lender and then acquire Employer Stock from a third party or may give a note to
an owner of Employer Stock in partial or full payment for such Employer Stock.
As used hereinafter, the term “loan agreement” shall include any such agreement
with a third-party lender or any such note given to such an owner. In directing
borrowing, the Committee shall not authorize a total indebtedness in any Plan
Year if the repayment schedule for such indebtedness would require principal
payments in excess of the amount that would be deductible under Code
Section 404(a)(9). Any loan agreement shall be subject to the following
conditions:

 

  (a) The loan must be at a reasonable rate of interest; provided, that if the
Trustee borrows from its own banking department, the interest rate and all other
terms and conditions of the loan shall be subject to the approval of the
Committee.

 

45

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

  (b) The only interest in Plan assets which may be given as security for
repayment of indebtedness under such agreement shall be a beneficial interest in
specific shares of Employer Stock acquired with the proceeds of the loan
extended thereunder or with the proceeds of a pre-existing loan repaid with the
monies loaned under the agreement. Such beneficial interest is hereinafter
sometimes referred to as “collateral.”

 

  (c) The only rights against the Plan which may be given to a lender under a
loan agreement shall be to receive repayment under such agreement out of
(i) Employer discretionary contributions to the Plan in any form other than
stock and (ii) collateral given to secure repayment of such loan.

 

  (d) A loan agreement shall provide that the loan shall not be payable upon
demand except in case of default, and that in the event of default the value of
Plan assets transferred to the lender shall not exceed the amount of the default
(there shall be no penalties). If the lender is the banking department of the
Trustee, such a transfer of assets shall be made to the lender only to the
extent of the failure of the Plan to meet the payment schedule of the loan.

 

  (e) Except to the extent that the conditions of Section 16.3(f) are satisfied
and the Committee directs that its provisions be followed to the extent
permissible, a loan agreement shall provide for the release from collateral of
Employer Stock purchased with loan proceeds upon each payment of principal and
interest on such loan. The number of shares to be released as a result of loan
payments during a Plan Year shall be equal to the total number of shares then
held as security multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
amount of principal and interest paid with respect to such Plan Year, and the
denominator of which shall be the sum of the numerator plus the principal and
interest to be paid during the remaining term of the loan. The remaining term
must be definitely ascertainable and must be determined without taking into
account any possible extension or renewal period. If the interest rate under the
loan is variable, the interest to be paid in future years must be computed by
using the interest rate applicable as of the end of the Plan Year. If collateral
includes more than one class of securities, the number of securities of each
class to be released for a Plan Year must be determined by applying the same
fraction to each class.

 

  (f) In lieu of the provisions contained in Section 16.3(e), a loan agreement
may provide for the release from collateral of stock purchased with loan
proceeds solely with reference to principal payments. However, if release is
determined with reference to principal payments only, the following three
additional rules shall apply: First, the loan agreement must provide for annual
payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate that is not less rapid
at any time than level annual payment of such amounts for ten years; second,
interest included in any payment is disregarded only to the extent that it would
be determined to be interest under standard loan amortization tables; and third,
this Section 16.3(f) is not applicable from the time that, by reason of a
renewal, extension or refinancing, the sum of the expired duration of the exempt
loan, the renewal period, the extension period and the duration of a new exempt
loan exceeds ten years. During any period of time when this Section 16.3(f) is
applicable in determining the amount of Employer Stock released from collateral,
the number of shares to be released upon each such repayment of principal shall
be equal to the total number of shares then held as security multiplied by a
fraction the numerator of which shall be the amount of principal repaid, and the
denominator of which shall be the principal outstanding as of the date of such
repayment.

 

  (g) A loan agreement shall provide that the Employer will guarantee repayment
of principal and accrued interest on such loan, but that no payments shall be
made by the Employer to the lender pursuant to such guarantee until all stock
held by the Trust as security for repayment of the loan has been sold by the
Trustee and the proceeds of such sale or sales have been paid to the lender in
satisfaction of the indebtedness under such loan.

 

46

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

  (h) A loan agreement shall permit loan repayments (without restriction) in
amounts larger than the minimum annual installment, and the amount of any such
repayment shall reduce the principal indebtedness under the loan.

Section 16.4. Mechanics of Borrowing and Release of Stock from Suspense
Accounts. Upon direction from the Committee and pursuant to a loan agreement
with a third-party lender meeting the requirements of Section 16.3, the Trustee
shall accept the proceeds of a loan and apply such proceeds as soon as possible
to the purchase of Employer Stock or to repay a previous loan used to purchase
Employer Stock. Likewise, if a loan agreement meeting the requirements of
Section 16.3 is made directly with the owner of the Employer Stock being
acquired, the Trustee shall accept the acquired Employer Stock and hold any
portion thereof acquired with borrowed funds in accordance with this
Section 16.4 and any other applicable provision of the Plan.

The Trustee shall total all purchases of Employer Stock made with the proceeds
from a single loan agreement and hold such shares in a separate suspense
account. The Trustee shall assign a cost basis to each share placed in a
suspense account equal to the average cost of all such shares. If the number of
shares held in a suspense account changes due to a stock split or stock
dividend, then the cost basis assigned to all shares held in such account
immediately before such split or dividend shall be divided among all shares held
in such account immediately after such split or dividend.

The Trustee shall keep a separate accounting of each loan. The obligation of the
Employer to make contributions sufficient to repay each loan shall be
ascertained as of the end of each Plan Year by adding together the minimum
payments required upon each loan. The minimum required payment on each such loan
(including interest and principal) shall be taken by the Trustee from each
Employer discretionary contribution and allocated to repayment of such loan. The
excess, if any, of the Employer contribution above the minimum payments required
on each loan shall then be applied as a reduction of principal against the
balance outstanding upon the loan bearing the highest rate of interest.

The Trustee shall account for each loan in such a manner that the portion of any
Employer contribution above the minimum which is applied against the principal
balance outstanding under the loan shall reduce the term of such loan, and such
loan shall not be deemed to have been refinanced with lesser required payments
over the remainder of its original term. Once a loan agreement has been entered
into between the Trustee and a lender, the term of such loan may not be extended
by subsequent agreement.

 

47

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

Whenever payments are made on an outstanding loan (other than by payment out of
the proceeds of sale of collateral), the Trustee shall withdraw from the
suspense account identified to such loan an appropriate number of shares of
stock as determined under Section 16.3(e) or 16.3(f), as applicable. Shares of
stock withdrawn from a suspense account during a Plan Year shall be allocated to
the accounts of Participants in proportion to the Compensation of Participants
entitled to share in such allocation in the same manner as Employer
discretionary contributions are allocated for such Plan Year in accordance with
Section 4.3.

Section 16.5. Agreements to Purchase. The Trustee shall have the power at any
time to enter into a legally binding agreement to purchase Employer Stock from
any person or entity. The purchase price set forth in any such agreement shall
be the fair market value of such Stock at the time of the purchase.

Section 16.6. Dividends. Any securities received by the Trustee as a stock split
or dividend, or as a result of a reorganization or other recapitalization of the
Employer, shall be allocated in the same manner as the Employer Stock to which
it is attributable is then allocated, as more specifically provided in
Section 16.9. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, effective
for dividends paid in cash after 2005, each Participant may elect to receive any
cash dividends attributed to Employer Stock allocated to the Participants’
accounts under the ESOP portion of this Plan directly from the Employer or to
have such dividends invested in Employer Stock as soon as practicable after they
are paid to the Plan. Such elections shall be made in writing during the month
of December each year, beginning with December 2005. Such elections shall remain
in effect for future years unless revoked or changed in writing during a
subsequent December election period. If a Participant fails to make an election,
such cash dividends will be invested in Employer Stock as soon as practical
after they are paid to the Plan.

Dividends that are received in cash and are attributable to Employer Stock held
in a suspense account pursuant to Sections 16.3 and 16.4 shall be used to repay
the loan the proceeds of which were used to acquire such Employer Stock.

Section 16.7. Voting of Stock.

 

  (a) If the Employer does not have a registration-type class of securities,
within the meaning of Code Section 409(e), then all Employer Stock held by the
Trustee shall be voted by the Trustee in its discretion, except that each
Participant shall be entitled to direct the voting of the shares allocated to
his account on all matters that involve the voting of such shares with respect
to the approval or disapproval of any corporate merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, sale of
substantially all assets of a trade or business or such similar transaction as
the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe in regulations.

 

48

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

  (b) If the Employer has a registration-type class of securities, within the
meaning of Code Section 409(e), then Participants shall be entitled to direct
the voting of the shares allocated to their accounts on all matters at each
stockholders’ meeting. If any Participant does not exercise his right to direct
such voting, then the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall vote the shares
allocated to such Participant. Likewise, the Trustee, in its sole discretion,
shall vote any unallocated shares of Employer Stock, including shares purchased
with borrowed funds and still held in a suspense account.

 

  (c) The Trustee shall be responsible for giving notice and delivering a form
of proxy to each Participant for each shareholders’ meeting at which
Participants are entitled to direct voting of the shares held in their accounts
in accordance with the preceding subsections (a) and (b). The form of proxy
shall give instructions to the Trustee as to how the Participant wishes his
allocated shares of Employer Stock voted on such matters. The Trustee shall vote
all such shares of Employer Stock in accordance with the Participant’s
instructions. The proxies shall be revocable in writing or by attendance at such
meeting by the Participant.

Section 16.8. Response to Tender Offer or Proposed Merger or Acquisition.

 

  (a) As soon as practicable after receipt of any information regarding a tender
offer for Employer Stock or information regarding a proposed merger or
acquisition pursuant to which holders of Employer Stock would have certain
exercisable rights in addition to the voting rights described in Section 16.7,
the Trustee shall notify each Participant who has Employer Stock allocated to
his account of the terms of such tender offer or proposed merger or acquisition
and any rights exercisable in connection therewith in addition to any voting
rights if a stockholders’ meeting will consider such matters. The notice shall
include a form of instructions to the Trustee that may be completed by a
Participant to give instructions to the Trustee as to how the Participant wishes
any such rights (other than voting rights, which are governed by the preceding
Section 16.7) to be exercised regarding his allocated shares of Employer Stock.

 

  (b) A Participant shall be entitled to direct the Trustee regarding the
exercise of any rights with regard to shares of Employer Stock allocated to his
account in connection with any tender offer or proposed merger or acquisition by
responding and completing the letter of instructions to the Trustee within the
time fixed by the Trustee in the notice provided to the Participant. Any such
instructions to the Trustee may be revoked in writing if such revocation is
received by the Trustee before the rights are exercised in accordance with the
prior instructions. The Trustee shall exercise such rights regarding such shares
of Employer Stock in accordance with such instructions.

 

  (c) If a Participant does not exercise his right to direct the Trustee
regarding the exercise of such rights, then the Trustee, in its sole discretion,
shall exercise or fail to exercise such rights (other than voting rights
governed by the preceding Section 16.7) with regard to the shares allocated to
the Participant’s account with regard to such tender offer or proposed merger or
acquisition. Likewise, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall exercise or
fail to exercise such rights with regard to any unallocated shares of Employer
Stock, including shares purchased with borrowed funds and still held in a
suspense account.

Section 16.9. Distribution in Employer Stock. A Participant shall have the right
to request that any distribution of his account balance attributable to Employer
Stock to which he may be entitled under the Plan shall be entirely in Employer
Stock (except that cash shall be distributed in lieu of any fractional

 

49

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

share). The Committee and Trustee shall ensure that any such request is complied
with insofar as possible by purchasing additional Employer Stock, if available,
or reallocating shares of Employer Stock in other accounts to the extent
necessary. Any shares purchased in accordance with this Section shall be charged
against the Participant’s account based on the purchase price (including any
transaction costs), and any shares reallocated from other accounts shall be
charged against the Participant’s account based on the closing price of the
Employer Stock on the last trading date preceding the date of such reallocation.

If the Participant elects, with spouse consent, if applicable, distribution of
his account balance attributable to Employer Stock shall begin not later than
one year after the close of the Plan Year (i) in which the Participant separates
from service after his Normal Retirement Age, disability or death, or (ii) that
is the fifth Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant
otherwise separates from service, provided he is not reemployed by the Employer
before such distribution. Unless the Participant elects otherwise, his account
balance attributable to Employer Stock will be distributed not less frequently
than annually in substantially equal periodic payments over a period not longer
than (i) five years, or (ii) in the case of a Participant with such an account
balance in excess of $500,000, as adjusted, five years plus one additional year
for each $100,000, as adjusted, or fraction thereof by which such account
balance exceeds $500,000.

Section 16.10. Purchases and Sales of Employer Stock. All purchases of Employer
Stock shall be made at prices that, in the judgment of the Committee, do not
exceed the fair market value of such stock. All sales of Employer Stock shall be
made at prices that, in the judgment of the Committee, are not less than the
fair market value of such stock. Fair market value shall be determined by the
Committee in good faith in accordance with the Plan and any applicable
provisions of the Act. The Committee shall direct the Trustee when to buy or
sell Employer Stock and at what price, and the Trustee shall have no duty to
question the directions of the Committee in this respect or to advise the
Committee regarding the purchase, retention or sale of Employer Stock; provided,
that the Committee shall not direct the Trustee to act otherwise than in
accordance with the Plan and Trust Agreement and any applicable provisions of
the Act, including any applicable rules regarding prohibited transactions.

Notwithstanding the above, valuations of Employer Stock that is not readily
tradable on an established market shall be made by an independent appraiser who
meets requirements similar to those of the regulations prescribed under Code
Section 170(a)(1).

Section 16.11. Restrictions on Employer Stock. Shares of Employer Stock
distributed by the Trustee pursuant to Article 16 that are not publicly traded
shall be restricted by a right of first refusal.

 

50

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

Such right shall provide that prior to the subsequent transfer by a Participant,
Inactive Participant or Beneficiary, the shares first must be offered to the
Trustee in writing, and if refused by the Trustee, then to the Employer. In no
event shall the Trustee or Employer repurchase such shares for a price less than
the greater of (a) the price offered to the Participant, Inactive Participant or
Beneficiary by a prospective buyer making a bona fide cash offer or (b) the then
fair market value of such shares. The Trustee or the Employer, as the case may
be, may accept the offer at any time during a period not exceeding 14 days after
receipt of the written offer, and the right of first refusal shall lapse if not
exercised within such 14-day period. Shares of Employer Stock distributed by the
Trustee pursuant to Article 16 may include such legend restrictions on
transferability as may be necessary to preserve the right of first refusal or as
the Employer reasonably may require in order to assure compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section and Section 16.14, no Employer Stock acquired with a loan pursuant
to Section 16.3 shall be subject to a put, call or other option, or a buy-sell
or similar arrangement, while held by and when distributed from the Plan,
whether or not the Plan is then an employee stock ownership plan.

Section 16.12. Registration of Employer Stock. If the Committee directs the
Trustee to dispose of any Employer Stock under circumstances which require
registration and/or qualification of the securities under applicable federal or
state securities laws, then the Employer, at its expense, will take, or cause to
be taken, any and all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect
such registration and/or qualification.

Section 16.13. Put Option.

 

  (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b), a Participant, Inactive
Participant or Beneficiary who receives shares of Employer Stock shall have the
right to require the Employer to purchase such shares at any time within 16
months after the date such shares were distributed to the Participant, Inactive
Participant or Beneficiary. In computing such 16-month period, any period of
time during which the put option is not exercisable because the Employer is
prohibited from honoring it by applicable federal or state law shall be
excluded. Written notice of intent to exercise the put option must be delivered
to the Committee before the expiration of the 16-month period. If both the
Trustee and Employer agree, the Trustee may purchase the Employer Stock. The
purchase price shall be the fair market value of the Employer Stock as of the
date the written notice of intent to exercise the put option is delivered to the
Committee. The Employer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall pay the
purchase price in a lump sum within 90 days from the receipt of such written
notice; provided, that with the consent of the Participant, Inactive Participant
or Beneficiary, the purchase price may be paid over a period of not more than
five years in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as agreed to by the
parties; provided further, that payments shall begin no later than 30 days after
the exercise of the put option.

 

51

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

  (b) The provisions of the foregoing subsection (a) shall not be applicable,
and no put option hall exist, with regard to shares of Employer Stock
distributed under the Plan if such Employer Stock was publicly traded and not
subject to a trading limitation when it was distributed. For purposes of this
subsection (b), Employer Stock is deemed to be “publicly traded” as of a
particular date if, as of such date, it is listed on a national securities
exchange registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or is
quoted on a system sponsored by a national securities association registered
under Section 15A(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. For purposes of this
subsection (b), a “trading limitation” on a security is a restriction under any
federal or state securities law, any regulation thereunder, or an agreement not
prohibited by applicable regulations that would make the security not as freely
tradable as one not subject to such restriction.

Section 16.14. Diversification of Investments. Each Qualified Participant may
direct the Trustee as to the investment of the value of the Participant’s
account balance attributable to Employer Stock within 90 days after the last day
of each Plan Year during the Participant’s Qualified Election Period.

For purposes of this Section, “Qualified Participant” shall mean a Participant
who has attained age 55 and completed at least ten years of participation in the
Plan. “Qualified Election Period” shall mean the six Plan Year period beginning
with the later of (i) the first Plan Year in which the Participant first became
a Qualified Participant, or (ii) the first Plan Year beginning after
December 31, 1986.

The Participant’s direction shall be provided to the Plan Administrator in
writing and shall specify the amount the Participant wishes to diversify. The
Plan shall allow the Participant to invest the amount subject to the
diversification election in one or more of the investment Funds provided for in
Section 9.2. Implementation of the Participant’s investment election shall take
place within 90 days after the last day of the period during which the election
may be made. This Section shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan other than Section 5.6.
