Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2005,

which there were such sales).

2.2

Statutory References – Statutory references in this Plan shall incorporate by
reference all regulations, rulings, procedures, releases and other position
statements issued by the relevant governmental agency with respect to such
statutory provision.

ARTICLE III

Eligibility and Participation

3.1

Requirements – A Covered Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant upon
meeting all of the following requirements:

3.1.1

The Covered Employee is individually approved by the Company, in its sole and
absolute discretion, for participation in the Plan; and

3.1.2

The Covered Employee is notified of his or her eligibility to participate in the
Plan.

3.2

Enrollment and Participation – Participation in the Plan is voluntary.  Each
Covered Employee may elect to participate in the Plan by filing a Compensation
Deferral Agreement with the Company in accordance with Section 4.2.  A Covered
Employee shall become a Participant on the effective date of a timely filed
Compensation Deferral Agreement (as determined in accordance with Section 4.2).
The election to become a Participant shall be made by, and only by, completing
and delivering to the Company a Compensation Deferral Agreement. Subject to the
right of the Company to prospectively terminate the status of any Participant as
a Covered Employee, once an Employee has become a Participant, the Employee
shall remain a Participant (without regard to whether or not a Compensation
Deferral Agreement is in effect) throughout the Participant's tenure as an
Employee.

3.3

Change of Employment Category – During any period in which a Participant remains
in the employ of the Company but ceases to be a Covered Employee, the
Participant will continue to participate in the Plan and to make Compensation
Deferral Contributions in accordance with the Compensation Deferral Agreement in
effect for the Plan Year during which the Participant ceases to be an Covered
Employee.  Thereafter, the Participant shall remain a Participant in the Plan,
and the Participant's Account shall be credited with earnings, as long as the
Participant's Account has an undistributed balance.

-5-

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

However, the Participant shall not be eligible to defer Compensation until and
unless the Participant once again becomes a Covered Employee.  In the event that
a Participant who ceased to be a Covered Employee subsequently becomes a Covered
Employee, the Participant shall be eligible to defer Compensation only after
again meeting all of the requirements of Section 3.1 (including, without
limitation, being notified by the Company of his or her eligibility to resume
participation in the Plan) and filing a new Compensation Deferral Agreement
pursuant to Section 3.2. For purposes of Section 4.2, such Participant shall not
be treated as a new Participant who is able to file an initial Compensation
Deferral Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2.1 hereof, unless the Participant has
been ineligible to participate in the Plan (including any plan that must be
aggregated with the Plan for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code) for a period of not less than twenty-four (24) months.  If the Participant
has been ineligible for period of at least twenty-four (24) months, then such
individual shall be treated as a new Participant who is able to file an initial
Compensation Deferral Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2.1 hereof.

3.4

Leaves of Absence – During any authorized absence from active service under
conditions which do not constitute a Separation from Service, a Participant
shall continue to participate in the Plan to the same extent as if he or she had
not taken the leave of absence, and any Compensation Deferral Agreement shall
remain in effect.

3.5

Separation from Service - Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service with the
Company, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall terminate (except as
provided in Section 3.7).  If an Employee (whether or not a Participant) who has
a Separation from Service is subsequently re-employed by the Company, the
Employee shall be treated as an Employee who was previously eligible to
participate in the Plan, but who ceased to be eligible to participate, and the
Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant only after again meeting all
of the requirements of Section 3.1 and filing a new Compensation Deferral
Agreement pursuant to Section 3.2.

3.6

Failure to Participate - In the event that a Covered Employee who, pursuant to
Section 3.1, is eligible to commence participation fails to elect to participate
when he or she first becomes eligible to become a Participant in the Plan, the
Employee shall not again be eligible to participate until the first day of the
next, or any subsequent, Plan Year (provided the Employee is still then
otherwise eligible for participation).  If the Employee does so elect, the
Employee's participation shall be effective as of the date determined in
accordance with Section 4.2 (without regard to the rules regarding initial
deferral elections contained in Section 4.2.1).

3.7

Inactive Participation - In the event that a Participant ceases Compensation
deferrals or ceases to be a Covered Employee, the Participant shall nevertheless
be deemed to remain as a Participant for all purposes other than the crediting
of further Section 5.2 contributions to the Participant's Account, until such
time as there is no longer an undistributed balance in the Participant's
Account.

-6-

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

ARTICLE IV

Deferral Elections

4.1

General - The election by any Participant to defer Compensation pursuant to the
terms of the Plan shall be made by, and only by, the filing of a completed
Compensation Deferral Agreement (or Compensation Deferral Amendment) with the
Company no later than the last date that such Compensation Deferral Agreement
(or Compensation Deferral Amendment) must be made in order to comply with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  Subject to the
remainder of this ARTICLE IV, deferral elections shall be made at the time, in
the manner, and subject to the conditions specified by the Administrator.  A
Participant may only elect to defer Compensation for a Plan Year if the
Participant has elected, by the date by which a deferral election hereunder must
be made in order to conform with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, to
make the maximum aggregate elective deferrals for a Plan Year to the 401(k) Plan
permitted by Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the maximum
aggregate elective deferrals for a Plan Year otherwise permitted under the terms
of the 401(k) Plan at the time of such election. Any subsequent change made by a
Participant to his deferral election under the 401(k) Plan shall be disregarded
for purposes of determining the amount of deferrals under this Plan for that
Plan Year.

4.2

Timing of Elections - Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2.1 or 4.4, an
election to defer Compensation for a Plan Year under a Compensation Deferral
Agreement (or Compensation Deferral Amendment) shall not be effective unless
made on or before the last business day of September of the Plan Year that
precedes the Plan Year to which the election relates, or such other date (not
later than the first day of the Plan Year to which the election relates) as may
be established by the Administrator for the filing of a Compensation Deferral
Agreement (or Compensation Deferral Amendment).

4.2.1

Initial Deferral Election – In the case of a Covered Employee who, at the time
he or she first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, was not eligible to
participate in any plan that must be aggregated with the Plan for purposes of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee's initial Compensation
Deferral Agreement must be filed with the Company within thirty (30) days after
the date on which the Employee is notified that he or she is eligible to
participate in the Plan. Such Employee's initial deferral election shall only
apply to Compensation earned after the date the Compensation Deferral Agreement
is filed with the Company.  The amount deferred with respect to any Bonus
included in the Employee's Compensation for such initial Plan Year shall be
prorated based on the number of days in the Plan Year that are remaining in the
performance period after the date the Compensation Deferral Agreement is filed
with the Company, compared to the total number of days in the performance
period. If the Employee does not file a Compensation Deferral Agreement with the
Company within such thirty (30) day period, then the Employee's initial
Compensation Deferral Agreement shall not be effective and the Employee shall be
required to file a new Compensation Deferral Agreement in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.2 above. In the case of a Covered Employee who at the
time he or she first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan was eligible to
participate in any plan that

-7-

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

must be aggregated with the Plan for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code, the Employee's initial Compensation Deferral Agreement shall not
be effective until the first day of the Plan Year following the date such
Compensation Deferral Agreement is filed with the Company.

4.2.2

Elections for Subsequent Plan Years – Once a Compensation Deferral Agreement is
filed with the Company, a Participant may make changes in a deferral election
(including a revocation of further deferrals) by filing a completed Compensation
Deferral Amendment on or before the last business day of September of the Plan
Year that precedes the Plan Year to which the Compensation Deferral Amendment
relates. A Compensation Deferral Amendment shall not be effective before the
first day of a subsequent Plan Year. If a Participant fails to file a completed
Compensation Deferral Amendment on or before the last business day of September
that precedes the Plan Year, and is still eligible to defer, the Participant
will be deemed to have elected to keep the prior election in force for that Plan
Year.

4.2.3

Applicability of Deferral Elections to Bonus – Except as provided in Section
4.2.1,  in the event the Company, in its sole discretion, permits a deferral
election to be filed less than six (6) months prior to the end of the
performance period with respect to which the entitlement to, and amount of, the
respective Bonus is determined, then such Compensation Deferral Agreement (or
Compensation Deferral Amendment) shall not apply with respect to the portion of
any Compensation that consists of a Bonus that is based on a performance period
that ends less than six (6) months after the date of such Compensation Deferral
Agreement (or Compensation Deferral Amendment) is filed with the Company. In no
event may a Compensation Deferral Agreement (or Compensation Deferral Amendment)
apply to a Bonus that is both substantially certain to be paid and readily
ascertainable on the date such Compensation Deferral Agreement (or Compensation
Deferral Amendment) is filed with the Company.

 

4.2.4

Compliance with Section 409A – Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in no event may a deferral election with respect to Compensation be made after
the last date that such deferral election with respect to such Compensation must
be made in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code.

4.3

Irrevocability of Elections – Except as provided in Section 4.4, an election to
defer Compensation for a Plan Year (or in the case of a new Participant, the
remainder of a Plan Year) is irrevocable.  A deferral election may not be
changed or revoked after the last business day of September of the Plan Year
that precedes the Plan Year to which the election relates (or, in the case of a
new Participant who has filed a Compensation Deferral Agreement for the initial
year of eligibility, after the date it is filed with the Company).  A deferral
election may be changed for future Plan Years in accordance with Section 4.2.2.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any changes in the form or
operation of the 401(k) Plan after September 30 of a Plan Year (or any other
changes that that would cause a Compensation Deferral Agreement to be treated as
being revocable for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, or
which would otherwise cause the

-8-

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

Compensation Deferral Agreement or the terms of the Plan to violate Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code) shall not be effective under this Plan before the
first day of the Plan Year for which a Compensation Deferral Agreement (or
Compensation Deferral Amendment) could be effective under Section 4.2.2.

4.4

Unforeseeable Emergency – Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.2 and
4.3, in the event of a distribution on account of an unforeseeable emergency or
a financial hardship under the 401(k) Plan that is permitted by Treas. Reg. §
1.401(k)-1(d)(3), the deferrals on behalf of the Participant shall be cancelled
for the remainder of the Plan Year.  Any later deferral elections will be
subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 (without regard to Section 4.2.1).

ARTICLE V

Contributions

5.1

Nature of Contributions – Contributions described in this ARTICLE V shall not
represent actual deposits to a separate fund or trust, but shall be bookkeeping
entries in the form of credits to the Accounts of the Participants on whose
behalf the contributions are made.

5.2

Compensation Deferral Contributions –

5.2.1

By so electing in his Compensation Deferral Agreement, each Participant may
elect to defer Compensation (which would otherwise have been paid to the
Participant) in any whole percentage amount designated by the Participant,
provided that such amount is not less than 1%, nor more than 13%, of the
Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year.  In no event, however, shall any
Participant’s deferrals for a Plan Year: (i) begin until the Participant has
made the maximum aggregate elective contributions to the 401(k) Plan for the
Plan Year permitted by Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the
maximum aggregate elective deferrals for the Plan Year otherwise permitted under
the terms of the 401(k) Plan, or (ii) exceed $60,000.

5.2.2

In applying the forgoing limitations, the following provisions shall apply:

5.2.2.1

    In the event of a change in a Participant's 401(k) Plan deferral election,
the Participant's deferrals shall begin on the date that the Participant would
have been made such maximum aggregate elective contributions to the 401(k) Plan,
ignoring any and all changes to the Participant's 401(k) Plan deferral election
for a Plan Year that are made after September 30 of the prior Plan Year.

5.2.2.2

    Any change in the maximum aggregate elective deferrals under the terms or
operation of the 401(k) Plan that is effective after September 30 of the prior
Plan Year (or any other changes that that would cause a Compensation Deferral
Agreement to be treated as being revocable for purposes of Section 409A of the
Internal

-9-

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

Revenue Code, or which would otherwise cause the Compensation Deferral Agreement
or the terms of the Plan to violate Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code)
shall not be effective under this Plan before the first day of the Plan Year for
which a Compensation Deferral Agreement (or Compensation Deferral Amendment)
could be effective under Section 4.2.2.

5.2.2.3

    The Company may establish such procedures with respect to timing and amount
of individual deferrals by each Participant as it deems appropriate to implement
these limitations (other than any procedure which would require or permit the
Company to pay to the Participant any Compensation previously deferred by the
Participant pursuant to this Section 5.2 during the current or any preceding
Plan Year, or which would permit a change or discontinuation of deferrals under
the Plan that would violate Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code).  

5.2.3

The Company shall reduce the gross amount of the Participant’s Compensation
pursuant to each Participant's Compensation Deferral Agreement (or Compensation
Deferral Amendment).  In lieu of paying the deferred portion of the
Participant’s Compensation to the Participant as earned, the Company will credit
to the Participant’s Account dollar amounts equal to the deferred Compensation,
each such credit to be made as of a date no later than fifteen (15) business
days after the last day of the month during which the Participant would have
been entitled to such Compensation had it been paid as current Compensation.

5.2.4

Any FICA or other payroll tax which may be imposed on the Participant with
respect to deferral contributions shall, unless otherwise determined by the
Company, be deducted from the non-deferred remainder of the Participant’s
remuneration.

ARTICLE VI

Participant Accounts

6.1

Account Established for Each Participant – An individual Account shall be
established on the books of the Company in the name of each Participant, for the
purpose of accounting for contributions credited to, and benefits paid to or on
behalf of, the Participant, and to account for incremental adjustments pursuant
to Section 6.3.  Each Account shall be divided into such sub-accounts, if any,
as the Company deems appropriate to properly implement the provisions of the
Plan.

6.2

No Funding Requirement – The Company shall not be required to purchase, hold or
dispose of any investments with respect to amounts credited to the Account, its
only obligation being to make payments as described in ARTICLE VIII.  Should the
Company elect to make contributions to a trust (hereinafter referred to as the
“Trust”) to assist the Company in paying the benefits which may accrue
hereunder, the amounts contributed shall be used to purchase the deemed
investments under Section 6.3, subject to application of the provisions of this
Section 6.2 to the actual investments.  However, contributions to the Trust
shall not reduce or otherwise affect the Company’s liability to pay benefits
under this Plan (which benefits may be paid from the Trust or from the Company’s
general assets, in the

-10-

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

discretion of the Company), except that the Company’s liability shall be reduced
by actual benefit payments from the Trust (and the Account shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect such payments).  If any such investments, or
any contributions to the Trust, are made by the Company, such investments shall
have been made solely for the purpose of aiding the Company in meeting its
obligations under the Plan, and, except for actual contributions to the Trust,
no trust or trust fund is intended.  To the extent that the Company does, in its
discretion, purchase or hold any such investments (other than through
contributions to the Trust), the Company will be named sole owner of all such
investments and of all rights and privileges conferred by the terms of the
instruments or certificates evidencing such investments.  Nothing stated herein
will cause such investments, or the Trust, to form part of the Account, or to be
treated as anything but the general assets of the Company, subject to the claims
of its general creditors, nor will anything stated herein cause such
investments, or the Trust, to represent the vested, secured or preferred
interest of the Participant or his Beneficiaries.  The Company shall have the
right at any time to use such investments not held in the Trust in the ordinary
course of its business.  Neither the Participant nor any of his Beneficiaries
shall at any time have any interest in the Account or the Trust or in any such
investments, except as a general, unsecured creditor of the Company to the
extent of the deferred compensation arrangement which is the subject of the
Plan.

6.3

Value Adjustments

6.3.1

Units (calculated to four decimal places) shall be credited to the Account of
each Participant as follows:

6.3.1.1

    As of the date on which any Contribution Credit is made to the Account, any
Contribution Credit shall be converted to a number of Share Units equal to the
Contribution Credit divided by 90% of the Credit Date Value.

6.3.1.2

    Whenever, prior to a Distribution Date, LMI shall pay any dividend (other
than in Common Stock) upon issued and outstanding Common Stock, or shall make
any distribution (other than in Common Stock) with respect thereto, there shall
be credited to the Account such number of Dividend Units as shall be allocable
to the Units credited to the Account as of the record date of the dividend or
other distribution.

6.3.2

In the event that, prior to a Distribution Date:  (i) the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be changed by reason of a stock split, combination
of shares, recapitalization, stock dividend or otherwise, or (ii) the Common
Stock is converted into or exchanged for other shares as a result of a merger,
consolidation, sale of assets, or other reorganization or recapitalization, the
number of Units then credited or to be credited to the Account shall be
appropriately adjusted so as to reflect such change (based upon the best
estimate of LMI management as to relative values).

6.3.3

The number of shares of Common Stock to be paid to a Participant or Beneficiary
with respect to an Account shall be determined based on the number of Share
Units in the Account.  The reported value distributed in any distribution shall

-11-

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

be determined on the Distribution Date based upon the Value of the Units
included in the Account on the Distribution Date.

6.3.4

Nothing herein contained shall be construed as conferring upon any Participant
or Beneficiary any rights as a stockholder of LMI or any right to have access to
the books and records, financial statements or other financial information of or
relating to the Company or LMI.

ARTICLE VII

Entitlement to Benefits

7.1

Vesting – A Participant shall at all times be fully vested in his or her
Account, but shall not be entitled to a distribution of any portion of the
Account until his or her Separation from Service with the Company or death.
 Upon reaching a distribution event, the Participant's Account shall be payable
according to, and at such time or times provided under, the provisions of
ARTICLE VIII.

ARTICLE VIII

Distribution of Benefits

8.1

Benefits Payable Upon Separation From Service – Upon the Participant's
Separation from Service with the Company for any reason other than death, then
distribution of the Participant's Account shall be made (or commence) on the
date specified in the Participant's Payment Option Election completed in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3. If the Participant does not
complete a Payment Option Election with respect to any deferral, then the
Participant's Account (or portion thereof attributable to deferrals for which a
Payment Option Election has not been completed) shall be distributed in a single
lump sum as soon as is administratively practicable following Separation from
Service (but in no event more than ninety (90) days following Separation from
Service). Notwithstanding the forgoing, the following provisions shall apply to
distributions to a Specified Employee:

8.1.1

A distribution which would otherwise be made within six (6) months following the
date of the Participant's Separation from Service shall not be made before the
date which is six (6) months after the date of the Participant's Separation from
Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant). Any distribution
that is delayed in accordance with the forgoing sentence shall be made on the
first business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period.

8.1.2

The number of shares of Common Stock that are distributable to the Participant
shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.4 as of the Distribution Date
determined under Section 8.1.1.

8.2

Death Benefits – In the event of the death of a Participant who has an
undistributed balance in his Account:

-12-

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

8.2.1

Distribution of the Participant's Account shall be made (or commence) to the
Participant’s Beneficiary on the date specified in the Participant's Payment
Option Election completed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3
(i.e., in the same manner as the Account would have been distributed to the
Participant had he or she lived). If the Participant does not complete a Payment
Option Election with respect to any deferral, the Participant's Account (or
portion thereof attributable to deferrals for which a Payment Option Election
has not been completed) shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary in
a single lump sum as soon as is administratively practicable following the date
the Administrator is notified of the Participant's death, but in no event more
than ninety (90) days following the date of death.

8.2.2

Each Participant from time to time may designate any person or persons (who may
be named contingently or successively) to receive such benefits as may be
payable under the Plan upon or after his death, and such designation may be
changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation.  Each
designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be
in form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed in
writing with the Company during his lifetime.

8.2.3

In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any
benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary eligible
to receive the payment, validly named by the Participant, the Company shall
distribute any such benefit payment to the person or persons designated to
receive the Employee’s accrued benefit from the 401(k) Plan.  In the absence of
a valid designation to a living person under the 401(k) Plan, the Company shall
distribute the benefit payment to the Participant’s estate.  In determining the
existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Company may
rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Personal Representative of
the Participant’s estate.  In the event of a lack of adequate information having
been supplied to the Company, or in the event that any question arises as to the
existence or identity of anyone entitled to receive a benefit payment as
aforesaid, or in the event that a dispute arises with respect to any such
payment, or in the event that a Beneficiary designation conflicts with
applicable law, or in the event the Company is in doubt for any other reason as
to the right of any person to receive a payment as Beneficiary then,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may, in
complete discharge, and without liability for any tax or other consequences
which might flow therefrom: (i) distribute the payment to the Participant’s
estate, (ii) retain such payment, without liability for interest, until the
rights thereto are determined, or (iii) deposit the payment into any court of
competent jurisdiction.

8.3

Payment Option Elections

8.3.1

General Rules – Simultaneously with the filing of his Compensation Deferral
Agreement, a Participant shall complete and file with the Company a Payment
Option Election.  A Payment Option Election may provide for:

8.3.1.1

    an immediate lump sum distribution of the Account (made as soon as is
administratively practicable following the date of the Participant's

-13-

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

Separation from Service or death, but in no event more than ninety (90) days
following the date of the Participant's Separation from Service or death), or

8.3.1.2

    a deferred distribution made or commencing on the first business day of the
calendar year next following Separation from Service or death in either of the
following forms:

8.3.1.2.1

a single lump sum, or

8.3.1.2.2

three annual installment distributions  commencing on the first business day of
each of the three calendar years next following Separation from Service or
death; provided, however, that if the Participant’s total Account balance is
less than $20,000, the participant may not elect the installment option
contained herein.  The first installment shall equal one-third of the balance of
the Account, the second installment shall equal one-half of the remaining
balance of the Account and the third installment shall equal the remaining
balance of the Account.  

8.3.2

The Participant’s election shall be set forth in a Deferred Payment Option
Election that is filed at the same time as the Participant's Compensation
Deferral Agreement.  Following the filing of his Compensation Deferral
Agreement, the Participant shall have no further right to make a Payment Option
Election or to alter any election set forth in a Payment Option Election filed
with the Company, but the Participant shall have the right to make new elections
from time to time (but not more than once every five years), each on a separate
Payment Option Election, provided that each such new election, shall be
applicable only to Units attributable to deferrals for Plan Years beginning
after the filing of the new Payment Option Election, and all pre-existing
elections shall remain in effect with respect to the Units attributable to
deferrals for the periods for which such elections were applicable. If a Payment
Option Election does not conform to the requirements of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code, then such Payment Option Election shall be void and the
Participant shall be deemed not to have filed a Payment Option Election with
respect to the portion of the Participant's Account to which such invalid
Payment Option Election relates.

8.4

Mode of Distribution – The Company shall make all distributions from each
Participant's Account in Common Stock, calculated in accordance with Section
6.3; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall distribute only whole shares
of Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock based
on 100% of the Value of a share of Common Stock on the relevant Distribution
Date (i.e., no fractional shares will be issued), and (ii) the Company may not
distribute Common Stock unless and until there exists an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the shares to
be distributed.

8.5

Deductions – Any amounts payable under the Plan shall be subject to such
deductions or withholdings as may be required by law, but shall not be deemed to
be salary or other compensation for the purpose of computing benefits to which
the Participant

-14-

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

may be entitled under any retirement plan or other arrangement of the Company
for the benefit of its employees generally.

8.6

Payment to Minor or Incompetent – If any person to whom a payment is due under
the Plan is a minor, or is found by the Company to be incompetent by reason of
physical or mental disability, the Company shall have the right to cause the
payments becoming due to such person to be made to another for his benefit,
without responsibility of the Company to see to the application of such
payments, and such payments will constitute a complete discharge of the
liabilities of the Company with respect thereto.

8.7

Domestic Relations Order – To the extent permitted by and consistent with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, payments may be made to
an alternate payee of the Participant to the extent required under a Domestic
Relations Order (a "DRO"), as defined by Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Internal
Revenue Code, that is applicable to the Plan.  Any amount payable under this
Plan to an alternate payee under a DRO shall be paid to the alternate payee
designated in such DRO and shall in no event be payable to the Participant;
provided such payment shall be reported, for income tax purposes, as a payment
to the Participant.  

8.8

Location of Participants and Beneficiaries – Any communication, statement or
notice addressed to a Participant (or Beneficiary) at his last post office
address filed with the Company, or if no such address was filed with the Company
then at his last post office address as shown on the Company’s records, shall be
binding on the Participant (or Beneficiary) for all purposes of the Plan.
 Except for the sending of a registered letter to the last known address, the
Company shall not be obliged to search for any Participant (or Beneficiary).  If
the Company notifies any Participant (or Beneficiary) that he is entitled to an
amount under the Plan and the Participant (or Beneficiary) fails to claim such
amount or make his location known to the Company within three years, then,
except as otherwise required by law, the Company shall have the right to treat
the amount payable as a forfeiture.

8.9

Compliance with Section 409A – Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
all distributions hereunder are intended to be made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (to the extent
applicable) and to the extent that Section 409A applies to any provision of this
Plan and such provisions is subject to more than one interpretation or
construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of that interpretation
or construction which is consistent with the provision complying with the
applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

ARTICLE IX

9.1

Administrative Authority – Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
Company shall have the sole responsibility for and the sole control of the
operation and administration of the Plan, and shall have the power and authority
to take all action and to make all decisions and interpretations which may be
necessary or appropriate in order to administer and operate the Plan, including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the power, duty and
responsibility to: (i) resolve and determine all disputes or questions arising
under the Plan, including the power to determine the rights of Employees,
Participants and Beneficiaries, and their respective benefits, and to remedy any
ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions; (ii) adopt such rules of procedure
and regulations as in its opinion may be necessary for the proper and efficient
administration of the Plan and as are consistent with the Plan; (iii) implement
the Plan in accordance with its terms and such rules and regulations; (iv)
notify the Participants of any amendment or termination of, or of a change in
any benefits available under, the Plan; and (v) prescribe such forms as may be
required for Employees to make elections under, and otherwise participate in,
the Plan.  Subject to the power to delegate in the manner described in Section
9.2, the Company shall act through its Board of Managers.

9.2

Company Administration – The Plan shall be operated and administered on behalf
of the Company by an Administrator.  The Administrator shall be governed by the
following:

9.2.1

In the absence of any designation to the contrary by the Company, the
Administrator shall be the Administrative Committee established pursuant to
Section 9.3. Except as the Company shall otherwise expressly determine, the
Administrator shall have full authority to act for the Company before all
persons in any matter directly pertaining to the Plan, including the exercise of
any power or discretion otherwise granted to the Company pursuant to the terms
of the Plan, other than the power to amend or terminate the Plan, to determine
Company contributions, and to affect the employer-employee relationship between
the Company and any Employee, all of which powers are reserved to the Company
unless expressly granted to the Administrator.

9.2.2

The Administrator may appoint any persons or firms, or otherwise act to secure
specialized advice or assistance, as it deems necessary or desirable in
connection with the administration and operation of the Plan; the Administrator
shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in any
action or omission taken by it in good faith reliance upon, the advice or
opinion of such firms or persons.  The Administrator shall have the power and
authority to delegate from time to time by written instrument all or any part of
its duties, powers or responsibilities under the Plan, both ministerial and
discretionary, as it deems appropriate, to any person, and in the same manner to
revoke any such delegation of duties, powers or responsibilities.  Any action of
such person in the exercise of such delegated duties, powers or responsibilities
shall have the same force and effect for all purposes hereunder as if such
action had been taken by the Administrator.  

-16-

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

Further, the Administrator may authorize one or more persons to execute any
certificate or document on behalf of the Administrator, in which event any
person notified by the Administrator of such authorization shall be entitled to
accept and conclusively rely upon any such certificate or document executed by
such person as representing action by the Administrator until such third person
shall have been notified of the revocation of such authority.  The Administrator
shall not be liable for any act or omission of any person to whom the
Administrator’s duties, powers or responsibilities have been delegated, nor
shall any person to whom any duties, powers or responsibilities have been
delegated have any liabilities with respect to any duties, powers or
responsibilities not delegated to him.

9.2.3

All representatives of the Company, and/or members of the Administrative
Committee (as defined hereinafter) shall use ordinary care and diligence in the
performance of their duties pertaining to the Plan, but no such individual shall
incur any liability: (i) by virtue of any contract, agreement, bond or other
instrument made or executed by him or on his behalf in his official capacity
with respect to the Plan, (ii) for any act or failure to act, or any mistake or
judgment made, in his official capacity with respect to the Plan, unless
resulting from his gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) for the
neglect, omission or wrongdoing of any other person involved with the Plan.  The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each such individual who is an
Employee from the effects and consequences of his acts, omissions and conduct in
his official capacity with respect to the Plan, except to the extent that such
effects and consequences shall result from his own willful misconduct or gross
negligence. If any matter arises as to which an individual is entitled to
indemnity hereunder, the indemnitee shall give the Company prompt written notice
thereof.  The Company, at its own expense, shall then take charge of the
disposition of the asserted liability, including compromise or the conduct of
litigation.  The indemnitee may, at his own expense, retain his own counsel and
share in the conduct of any such litigation, but the failure to do so shall not
adversely affect his right to indemnity.

9.2.4

Nothing in the Plan shall be construed so as to prevent any person involved in
administration of the Plan from receiving any benefit to which he may be
entitled as a Participant.

9.2.5

Expenses incurred in the administration and operation of the Plan (including the
functioning of the Administrative Committee) shall be paid by the Company.

particular the authority contained in this ARTICLE IX, and, in acting pursuant
thereto, shall have full power and authority to deal with all persons in any
matter directly connected with the Plan, in accordance with the following
provisions:

-17-

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

9.3.1

The Committee shall consist of one or more individuals designated by the
Company.  Subject to his right to resign at any time, each member of the
Committee shall serve (without compensation, unless otherwise determined by the
Company) at the pleasure of the Company, and the Company may appoint, and may
revoke the appointment of, additional members to serve with the Committee as may
be determined to be necessary or desirable from time to time.  Each member of
the Committee, by accepting his appointment to the Committee, shall thereby be
deemed to have accepted all of the duties and responsibilities of such
appointment, and to have agreed to the faithful performance of his duties
thereunder.

9.3.2

The Committee shall adopt such formal organization and method of operation as it
shall deem desirable for the conduct of its affairs.  The Committee shall act as
a body, and the individual members of the Committee shall have no powers and
duties as such, except as provided herein; the Committee shall act by vote of a
majority of its members at the time in office, either at a meeting or in writing
without a meeting.

9.3.3

The determination of the Committee on any matter pertaining to the Plan within
the powers and discretion granted to it shall be final and conclusive on all
Participants and all other persons dealing in any way or capacity with the Plan.

9.4

Claims Procedure - In the event that any Participant or Beneficiary (hereinafter
referred to as the “Claimant”) believes that he is entitled to a benefit under
the Plan, and such benefit has not been paid, or if such benefit has been paid
under terms or in an amount with which the Claimant is not in agreement, said
Claimant shall have the right to file a written claim with the Administrator
setting forth the reason he believes he is entitled to the benefit, or setting
forth the nature of his dispute with the terms or amount of the benefit, as the
case may be.  Such claim shall be delivered or mailed to the Administrator.

Unless it is determined that the matter is to be resolved in accordance with the
wishes of the Claimant as set forth in the claim, the Administrator shall
provide the Claimant with a written notice setting forth the specific reason or
reasons for the denial, specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which
the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information
necessary for the Claimant to perfect his claim, an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the Plan’s claim
review procedure, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil
action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.  If such a notice has not been provided to
the Claimant within 90 days after the claim was received by the Administrator,
and the claim has not been granted within such period of time, the claim shall
be deemed denied and the Claimant shall be entitled to institute review
procedures as hereinafter set forth, except that the 90-day period may in
special circumstances be extended to 180 days provided that the Administrator so
notifies the Claimant, before expiration of the initial 90-day period, in a
written notice setting forth the reason for the extension and the estimated
decision date.

For a period of 60 days following the date on which a Claimant has been provided
with a notice of denial as aforesaid, the Claimant may appeal the denial by
submitting to the Administrator a written request for a review by the
Administrator of the

-18-

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

denial.  At any time prior to the filing of such an appeal, the Claimant shall
have a right to review all pertinent documents (which shall be made available to
the Claimant during normal business hours at such place as may be reasonably
designated by the Administrator).  The Claimant shall have the right to submit
to the Administrator, at any time during the pendency of the review procedure,
any written statement of issues and comments which the Claimant believes it
relevant for the Administrator to consider.  A decision by the Administrator
shall be made promptly, and not later than 60 days after the Administrator’s
receipt of the request for review unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing, and the Administrator so notifies the Claimant
in writing prior to the expiration of the initial 60-day period, in which case a
decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not later than 120 days after
such receipt of a request for review.  The Administrator’s decision shall be set
forth in writing and delivered to the Claimant and shall include specific
reasons for the decision, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions
on which the decision is based, a statement that the Claimant is entitled to
receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of,
all records, documents and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim of
benefits, and a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under
Section 502(a) of ERISA.  The Administrator’s decision shall be final and
binding on the Sponsor, the Company, the Claimant, and all other parties
claiming any interest under the Plan, and their heirs and assigns.

Any reference herein to the “Claimant” shall be deemed to include any person
named by the Claimant as his duly authorized representative, provided that such
representative delivers to the Administrator a written power of attorney or
otherwise satisfies the Administrator that he has been duly authorized to act
for the Claimant.

Provision may be made by which the Plan will be continued by the successor

of termination;

10.7.2

within thirty (30) days prior to, or twelve (12) months following, a Change In

occurs or during the first calendar year in which payment is administratively
practicable; or

10.7.4

in connection with such other event as may be prescribed by the Internal Revenue

be adopted by any Affiliate.  Such adoption and approval shall be evidenced by
the execution of an Adoption Agreement by the Sponsor and the adopting employer.

Separate Plans – It is intended that the provisions of the Plan shall apply
separately to each participating Company, if there be more than one, and to the
Participants of each such participating Company, and, unless the context
otherwise requires, the term “Company” as used throughout the Plan shall be so
construed, to the end that, except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE XI, the
Plan shall constitute a separate Plan for each participating Company.

11.3

Participation – The participation of any participating Company in the Plan shall
become effective as of the date the Adoption Agreement is executed and approved

of the Plan.

11.4

Combined Service – Except as otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement, the
term “service” or “employment” shall be deemed to refer equally to service with
any participating Company, so that, for any purpose under the Plan, service with
any participating Company shall be deemed to be the equivalent of service with
any other participating Company.  A Participant shall be deemed to have
Separation from Service only upon a separation from service with the
participating Company and all other employers who are required to be treated as
a single employer with the participating Company under Section 414(b) or (c) of
the Internal Revenue Code.

11.5

Administration – The term “Company” as used in ARTICLE IX, pertaining to
administration of the Plan, refers only to the Sponsor, and to the
Administrative Committee appointed by the Sponsor, although any other
participating Company may appoint its own separate committee, or otherwise act,
to administer the Plan with regard to those internal matters peculiar to that
participating Company and which do not conflict with the concept set forth in
this Section 11.5.

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

11.6

Amendment – The term “Company” as used in ARTICLE X, pertaining to amendment of
the Plan, refers only to the Sponsor, which shall be vested with the sole power
to amend the Plan in any manner, and such amendment will bind each participating
Company and its Participants.  However, with the consent of the Sponsor, any
other participating Company shall have the right to amend the Plan in any manner
(otherwise permitted by ARTICLE X) which affects the Plan only as to that
participating Company and, in the sole judgment of the Sponsor, in no
significant way affects the Plan as to any other participating Company.

11.7

Termination – A participating Company may terminate the Plan, pursuant to
ARTICLE X, at any time.  Any such action shall operate only as to the
Participants employed by that participating Company.

ARTICLE XII

Miscellaneous

12.1

Limitations on Liability of Company – Neither the establishment of the Plan nor
any modification thereof, nor the creation of any Account, nor the payment of
any benefits, shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other person
any legal or equitable right against the Company (or any person connected
therewith), except as provided by law or by any Plan provision.  Nothing
contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall
create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company
(or any person connected therewith) and any Participant, Beneficiary or other
person.  In no event shall the Company (or any person connected therewith) be
liable to any person for the failure of any Participant, Beneficiary or other
person to be entitled to any particular tax consequences with respect to the
Plan or any contribution thereto or distribution therefrom.

12.2

Construction – The Plan is intended to be exempt from ERISA (other than
reporting and disclosure requirements as to which no exemption is available)
and, if any provision of the Plan is subject to more than one interpretation or
construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of that interpretation
or construction which is consistent with the Plan being so exempted.  In case
any provision of the Plan shall be held to be illegal or void, such illegality
or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall
be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said
illegal or invalid provisions had never been inserted herein.  For all purposes
of the Plan, where the context admits, words in the masculine gender shall
include the feminine and neuter genders, the singular shall include the plural,
and the plural shall include the singular.  Headings of articles and sections
are inserted only for convenience of reference and are not to be considered in
the construction of the Plan.  Except to the extent preempted by the laws of the
United States of America, the laws of the state in which the Company is
domiciled shall govern, control and determine all questions arising with respect
to the Plan and the interpretation and validity of its respective provisions.
 Participation under the Plan will not give any Participant the right to be
retained in the service of the Company nor any right or claim to any benefit
under the Plan unless such right or claim has specifically accrued

hereunder.  The Plan shall be construed in such manner as to comply with Section
409A  of the Internal Revenue Code.

12.3

Spendthrift Provision – No amount payable under the Plan will, except as
otherwise specifically provided by law, be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, attachment, garnishment, sale, transfer, assignment
(either at law or in equity), levy, execution, pledge, encumbrance, charge or
any other legal or equitable process, and any attempt to do so will be void; nor
will any benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled thereto.  The foregoing
shall not preclude any arrangement for: (i) the withholding of taxes from Plan
benefit payments, (ii) the recovery by the Plan of overpayments of benefits
previously made to a Participant, or (iii) the direct deposit of benefit
payments to an account in a banking institution (if not part of an arrangement
constituting an assignment or alienation).

In the event that any Participant’s benefits are garnished or attached by order
of any court, the Company may bring an action for a declaratory judgment in a
court of competent jurisdiction to determine the proper recipient of the
benefits to be paid by the Plan.  During the pendency of said action, any
benefits that become payable shall be paid into the court as they become
payable, to be distributed by the court to the recipient it deems proper at the
close of said action.

12.4

Date Plan Effective; Termination Date – The Plan became effective as of the date
on which it was  approved by the stockholders of LMI.  The amendments to the
Plan contained in this amending restatement of the Plan became effective as of
January 1, 2008 (or such earlier date as may be required in order for the Plan
to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code).   No deferrals of
Compensation shall be permitted under the Plan after the close of business on
December 31, 2015.  Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all
Compensation deferrals made under the Plan (and the Accounts related thereto)
prior to such termination of the Plan shall remain subject to the terms of the
Plan (as in effect prior to such termination).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amending Restatement, as amended, is executed under
seal as of this 5th day of November, 2007.
