 PREAMBLE 
 The Tellabs 401(k) Plan (“Plan”) sponsored by Tellabs Operations, Inc., originally effective as of January 1, 1983 and previously known as the Tellabs Profit Sharing and Savings Plan, is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety. This amendment and restatement shall be effective as of January 1, 2007. The Plan, as amended and restated hereby, is intended to qualify as a profit-sharing plan under Code Section 401(a), and includes a cash or deferred
arrangement that is intended to qualify under Code Section 401(k). The Plan is maintained for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees and their beneficiaries. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant's vested interest in his Account under the Plan on and after the effective date of this amendment and restatement shall not be less than
his vested interest in his account on the day immediately preceding the effective date. Any provision of the Plan that restricted or limited withdrawals, loans, or other distributions, or otherwise required separate accounting with respect to any
portion of a Participant's Account immediately prior to the later of the effective date of this amendment and restatement or the date this amendment and restatement is adopted and the elimination of which would adversely affect the qualification of
the Plan under Code Section 401(a) shall continue in effect with respect to such portion of the Participant's Account as if fully set forth in this amendment and restatement. 
 Effective as of April 1, 2006 (the “spin-off date”), accounts under the Tellabs Retirement Plan (the “spin-off plan”) that were attributable to money purchase contributions made under the
spin-off plan were spun off from the spin-off plan and transferred to and made a part of the Plan. Unless otherwise noted herein, Addendum 1 shall govern the portion of Participants’ Accounts attributable to money purchase contributions.

allocated to his account for the Limitation Year.

 The “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time and regulations promulgated thereunder. Reference to a Code section

described in Code Section 104(a)(3), 105(a), or 105(h), but only to the extent that they are includible in the gross income of the Participant, and (ii) the amount includible in the gross income of the Participant upon making the election
described in Code Section 83(b) with respect to property transferred to the Participant by the Employer. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Compensation
shall not include the following: 
  

	(a)	contributions made by the Participant's Employer to a plan of deferred compensation to the extent that, before application of the limitations of Code Section 415 to such plan,
the contributions are not includible in the gross income of the Participant for the taxable year in which contributed 

  

	(b)	contributions made by the Employer to a simplified employee pension described in Code Section 408(k) 

  

	(c)	any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation (except amounts received pursuant to an unfunded non-qualified plan in the year such amounts are includible in the gross
income of the Participant) 

  

	(d)	amounts received from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or when restricted stock held by the Participant becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to
substantial risk of forfeiture 

  

	(e)	amounts received from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a qualified or incentive stock option

	(l)	education expenses 

  

	(m)	income from participation in any stock purchase plan 

  

	(n)	income from stock awards 

  

	(o)	income from the exercise of stock appreciation rights 

  

	(p)	dividends on restricted stock 

  

	(q)	adjustments to wages for temporary assignments 

  

	(r)	ex-pat assignment related expenses 

  

	(s)	any other extraordinary remuneration 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Compensation includes any amount that would have been included in the foregoing description, but for the Participant's election to defer payment of such amount under Code Section 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 403(b), or 457(b), certain
contributions described in Code Section 414(h)(2) that are picked up by the employing unit and treated as employer contributions, and any amount that is not included in the Participant's taxable gross income pursuant to Code
Section 132(f). 
 In no event, however, shall the Compensation of a Participant taken into account under the Plan for any Plan Year exceed $150,000
(subject to adjustment annually as provided in Code Sections 401(a)(17)(B) and 415(d); provided, however, that the dollar increase in effect on January 1 of any calendar year, if any, is effective for Plan Years beginning in such calendar year,
e.g., $225,000 for the 2007 Plan Year). If the Compensation of a Participant is determined over a period of time that contains fewer than 12 calendar months, then the annual compensation limitation described above shall be adjusted with respect to
that Participant by multiplying the annual compensation limitation in effect for the Plan Year by a fraction of the numerator of which is the number of full months in the period and the denominator of which is 12; provided, however, that no
proration is required for a Participant who is covered under the Plan for less than one full Plan Year if the formula for allocations is based on Compensation for a period of at least 12 months. 
 The “Contribution Percentage” with respect to an Eligible Participant for a particular Plan Year, as used in Article VII, means the ratio of the
Matching Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf for the Plan Year to his Test Compensation for such Plan Year. To the extent permitted by regulations issued under Code Section 401(m), the Sponsor may elect to include the Tax-Deferred


  

 4 








 
Contributions and/or Qualified Nonelective Contributions made to the Plan on an Eligible Participant's behalf for the Plan Year in computing the numerator of
such Eligible Participant's Contribution Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Qualified Nonelective Contributions that are included in determining the numerator of an Eligible Participant's Deferral
Percentage may not be included in determining the numerator of his Contribution Percentage. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following special rules
apply for any Plan Year in which the limitations on Tax-Deferred Contributions described in Section 7.4 are deemed satisfied, as provided in Section 7.13: 
  

	(a)	Tax-Deferred Contributions and Matching Contributions that are required to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12)(B) shall not be included in determining the
numerator of an Eligible Participant's Contribution Percentage for such Plan Year. 

  

	(b)	If the limitations on Matching Contributions described in Section 7.7 are also deemed satisfied for the Plan Year, as provided in Section 7.13, the Sponsor may elect to
exclude Matching Contributions made on an Eligible Participant's behalf for the Plan Year in determining the numerator of the Eligible Participant's Contribution Percentage for such Plan Year. 

  

	(c)	If the limitations on Matching Contributions described in Section 7.7 are not deemed satisfied for the Plan Year, the Sponsor may only elect to exclude Matching
Contributions made on an Eligible Participant's behalf for the Plan Year in an amount up to four percent of the Eligible Participant's Test Compensation for the Plan Year in determining the numerator of the Eligible Participant's Contribution
Percentage for such Plan Year. 

 Contributions made on an Eligible Participant's behalf for a Plan Year shall be included in determining his
Contribution Percentage for such Plan Year only if the contributions are allocated to the Eligible Participant's Account as of a date within such Plan Year and are made to the Plan before the end of the 12-month period immediately following the Plan
Year to which the contributions relate. For Plan Years in which the Testing Year means the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the limitation on Matching Contributions described in Section 7.7 is being determined, contributions included
for purposes of determining the Contribution Percentage for the Testing Year of an Eligible Participant who is not a Highly Compensated Employee must be made before the last day of the Plan Year for which the limitation is being determined. The
determination of an Eligible Participant's Contribution Percentage shall be made after any reduction required to satisfy the Code Section 415 limitations is made as provided in this Article VII and shall satisfy such other requirements as may
be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. 
  

 5

benefits for employees (other than Key Employees) to be determined under the accrual method uniformly used under all plans maintained by an Employer or, if no such method exists, under the slowest accrual method permitted under the fractional
accrual rate of Code Section 411(b)(1)(C) and including the present value of any part of any accrued benefits distributed in the five-year period ending on the Determination Date, and (iii) any plan (including any simplified employee
pension plan) included in a Required Aggregation Group that is a Top-heavy Group. For purposes of this paragraph, the accounts and accrued benefits of any employee who has not performed services for an Employer or a Related Company during the

performance of such person in carrying out such responsibility except as otherwise provided by ERISA. The term Trustee shall include any delegate of the Trustee as may be provided in the Trust Agreement. 
 A “Trust Fund” means any fund maintained under the Trust by the Trustee. 
 A “Valuation Date” means the date or dates the market is open designated by the Sponsor and communicated in writing to the Trustee for the purpose of valuing the General Fund and each Investment Fund
and adjusting Accounts and Sub-Accounts hereunder, 

  

 18 








 
which dates need not be uniform with respect to the General Fund, each Investment Fund, Account, or Sub-Account; provided, however, that the General Fund and
each Investment Fund shall be valued and each Account and Sub-Account shall be adjusted no less often than once quarterly. The “valuation date” with respect to any Determination Date as used in Article XXII means the most recent
Valuation Date occurring within the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date. 
 The “Vesting Service” of an employee means the
period or periods of service credited to him under the provisions of Article II for purposes of determining his vested interest in his Employer Contributions Sub-Account, if Employer Contributions are provided for under either Article VI or Article

business prior to January 6, 1975. 
  

	2.2	Eligibility Service 

 Because there are no Eligibility Service
requirements to participate in the Plan, there shall be no Eligibility Service credited under the Plan.

Service for each full week the employee is on a leave of absence, including, but not limited to a leave of absence required to be recognized under the provisions of the Retirement Equity Act of 1984 or the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, if he
is not otherwise credited with such Hours of Service, provided that other than with respect to a leave of absence for service in the United States armed forces, not more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited with respect to any continuous
period of leave of absence. Any leave of absence under this Section 3.6 must be granted in writing and pursuant to the Employer’s established leave policy, which shall be administered in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to similarly

 22 








 ARTICLE IV 
 TAX-DEFERRED CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

	4.1	Tax-Deferred Contributions 

 Effective as of the date he becomes an
Eligible Employee, each Eligible Employee may elect, in accordance with rules prescribed by the Administrator, to have Tax-Deferred Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf by his Employer as hereinafter provided on any Enrollment Date. An
Eligible Employee's election shall include his authorization for his Employer to reduce his Compensation and to make Tax-Deferred Contributions on his behalf to such Eligible Employee’s Tax-Deferred Contributions Sub-Account. An Eligible
Employee who elects to have Tax-Deferred Contributions made to the Plan may change his election by amending his reduction authorization as prescribed in Section 4.3 of this Article IV on any Enrollment Date. An Eligible Employee is responsible
for verifying the Tax Deferred Contributions made (or not made) by the Employer are consistent with his contribution election. 
 Tax-Deferred Contributions
on behalf of an Eligible Employee shall commence as soon as administratively practicable on or after the Enrollment Date on which his election is effective. 
  

	4.2	Amount of Tax-Deferred Contributions 

 The amount of Tax-Deferred
Contributions to be made to the Plan on behalf of an Eligible Employee by his Employer shall be an integral percentage of his Compensation of not less than 1 percent nor more than 50 percent. In the event an Eligible Employee elects to have his
Employer make Tax-Deferred Contributions on his behalf, his Compensation shall be reduced for each payroll period by the percentage he elects to have contributed on his behalf to the Plan in accordance with the terms of his currently effective
reduction authorization until he meets the compensation limit in Code Sections 401(a)(17)(B) and 415(d) ($225,000 for the 2007 Plan Year); or dollar limitation in effect under Code Section 402(g) for such Plan Year ($15,500 for the 2007 Plan
Year). If an Eligible Employee’s Tax-Deferred Contribution is stopped as a result of meeting such dollar limit, his Tax-Deferred Contributions will resume at the same elected percentage as of the first payroll period of the next Plan Year. In
no event shall an Eligible Employee’s Tax-Deferred Contributions during any Plan Year exceed the dollar limitation in effect under the Section 402(g) for such Plan Year as established at the beginning of such Plan Year. 
 Contributions made under Section 1.1 (Qualified Military Service) shall be subject to such limitation for the year to which they relate instead of the year they are
actually made 
  

 23 









	4.3	Amendments to Reduction Authorization 

 An Eligible Employee may
elect, in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to change the amount of his future Compensation that his Employer contributes on his behalf as Tax-Deferred Contributions on any Enrollment Date. An Eligible Employee may amend his reduction
authorization on any Enrollment Date. An Eligible Employee who amends his reduction authorization shall be limited to selecting an amount of his Compensation that is otherwise permitted under this Article IV. Tax-Deferred Contributions shall be made
on behalf of such Eligible Employee by his Employer pursuant to his properly amended reduction authorization commencing with Compensation paid to the Eligible Employee as soon as administratively practicable after the date such amendment is received
by Administrator, until otherwise altered or terminated in accordance with the Plan. 
  

	4.4	Suspension of Tax-Deferred Contributions 

 An Eligible Employee on
whose behalf Tax-Deferred Contributions are being made may elect, in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have such contributions suspended at any time by submitting a reduction authorization changing his contribution election to zero on
any Enrollment Date. Any such voluntary suspension shall take effect commencing with Compensation paid to such Eligible Employee as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator’s receipt of such reduction authorization and shall
remain in effect until Tax-Deferred Contributions are resumed as hereinafter set forth. 
  

	4.5	Resumption of Tax-Deferred Contributions 

 An Eligible Employee who
has voluntarily suspended his Tax-Deferred Contributions may elect to have such contributions resumed by submitting a reduction authorization changing his contribution election. An Eligible Employee may make such election on any Enrollment Date. Any
new election shall take effect commencing with Compensation paid to such Eligible Employee as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator’s receipt of such reduction authorization. 
  

	4.6	Delivery of Tax-Deferred Contributions 

 As soon after the date an
amount would otherwise be paid to an Eligible Employee as it can reasonably be separated from Employer assets, each Employer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee in cash all Tax-Deferred Contributions attributable to such amounts to such
Eligible Employee’s Tax-Deferred Contributions Sub-Account. 
 In no event shall an Employer deliver Tax-Deferred Contributions to the Trustee on behalf
of an Eligible Employee prior to the date the Eligible Employee performs the services with respect to which the Tax-Deferred Contribution is being made, unless such pre-funding is to accommodate a bona fide administrative concern and is not for the
principal purpose of accelerating deductions. 
  

 24 









	4.7	Vesting of Tax-Deferred Contributions 

 A Participant's vested
interest in his Tax-Deferred Contributions Sub-Account shall be at all times 100 percent. 
  

 25 








 ARTICLE V 
 AFTER-TAX AND ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

	5.1	After-Tax Contributions 

 Eligible Employees are not currently
permitted to make After-Tax Contributions to the Plan. However, the Plan includes assets attributable to After-Tax Contributions made to the Plan prior to January 1, 1994. Such past After-Tax Contributions will be in an Eligible Employee’s
After-Tax Contributions Sub-Account. 
  

	5.2	Rollover Contributions 

 An Employee who was a participant in a plan
qualified under Code Section 401 and who receives (or is eligible to receive) a cash distribution from such plan that he elects to roll over immediately to a qualified retirement plan may elect to make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan if he
is entitled under Code Section 402(c) or 408(d)(3)(A) to roll over such distribution to another qualified retirement plan. The Administrator may require an Employee to provide it with such information as it deems necessary or desirable to show
that he is entitled to roll over such distribution to another qualified retirement plan. An Employee shall make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan by delivering, or causing to be delivered, to the Trustee the cash that constitutes the Rollover
Contribution amount. If the Employee received a cash distribution that he is rolling over, such delivery must be made within 60 days of receipt of the distribution from the plan in the manner prescribed by the Administrator. Any Rollover permitted
under the provisions of this Section will be held in an Eligible Employee’s Rollover Contributions Sub-Account. If the Administrator determines after a Rollover Contribution has been made that such Rollover Contribution did not in fact meet the
requirements for a Rollover set forth in the Plan, the amount of such Rollover Contribution and any earnings thereon shall be returned to the Employee. 
  

	5.3	Vesting of After-Tax Contributions and Rollover Contributions 

 A
Participant's vested interest in his After-Tax Contributions Sub-Account and his Rollover Contributions Sub-Account shall be at all times 100 percent. 
  

 26

	(b)	The Matching Contribution for each Eligible Employee who elects to defer; 

  

	(c)	The Discretionary Contribution (if approved by the Board of Directors) and 

  

	(d)	Qualified Nonelective Contributions (if necessary). 

  

	6.2	Contribution Period 

 The Contribution Periods for Employer

	(b)	The Contribution Period for Qualified Nonelective Contributions under the Plan is each Plan Year. 

  

	(c)	The Contribution Period for purposes of allocating Discretionary Contributions under the Plan is each Plan Year. 

  

	6.3	Discretionary Contributions 

 Each Plan Year an Employer may, in its
discretion, make a Discretionary Contribution to the Plan for the Contribution Period in a percentage of Compensation determined by the Board of Directors of the Sponsor, if any. 
  

	6.4	Allocation of Discretionary Contributions 

 Any Discretionary
Contribution made by an Employer for a Contribution Period shall be allocated among its Eligible Employees during the Contribution Period who have met the allocation requirements for Discretionary Contributions described in this Article. Each
Eligible Employee shall receive the designated percentage of Compensation approved by the Sponsor’s Board of Directors. 
  

 27 








 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Compensation earned by an Eligible Employee during a
Contribution Period, but prior to the date on which the Employee first became an Eligible Employee shall be excluded in determining the Eligible Employee's allocable share of any Discretionary Contribution made for the Contribution Period.

 An Employer may designate any portion or all of its Discretionary Contributions as a Qualified Nonelective Contribution; provided, however, that in no
event shall the amount designated as a Qualified Nonelective Contribution hereunder, when combined with any separate Qualified Nonelective Contribution made under the terms of the Plan, exceed the QNEC Limit defined in Section 1.1. Amounts that
are designated as Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be accounted for separately and may be withdrawn only as permitted under the Plan. 
  

	6.5	Qualified Nonelective Contributions 

 Each Employer may, in its
discretion, make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution to the Plan for the Contribution Period in an amount determined by the Administrator. 
  

	6.6	Allocation of Qualified Nonelective Contributions 

 Any
discretionary Qualified Nonelective Contribution made by an Employer for the Contribution Period shall be allocated among its Eligible Employees during the Contribution Period who have met the allocation requirements for Qualified Nonelective
Contributions described below. The allocable share of each such Eligible Employee in the Qualified Nonelective Contribution shall be a percentage, which need not be uniform with respect to each such Eligible Employee, of his Test Compensation for
the Contribution Period. The Employer may designate those Eligible Employees on whose behalf it will make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution. In no event shall the allocable share of an Eligible Employee in the Qualified Nonelective Contribution
exceed the QNEC Limit described in Section 1.1. 
 An individual shall be eligible to receive an allocation of Qualified Nonelective Contributions
hereunder if he is an Eligible Employee during the Plan Year and he is not a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year. 
  

	6.7	Amount and Allocation of Matching Contributions 

 Each Employer
shall make a Matching Contribution on behalf of each of its Eligible Employees during the Contribution Period who has made Tax-Deferred Contributions for such Contribution Period. The amount of the Matching Contribution shall be equal to 100 percent
of the first 4 percent of the Eligible Employee's Compensation that he contributes to the Plan as Tax-Deferred Contributions. 
  

 28 








 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Compensation earned by an Eligible Employee during the
Contribution Period, but prior to the date on which the Employee first became an Eligible Employee shall be excluded in determining the amount of the Matching Contribution made on behalf of such Eligible Employee. 
 Also, Matching Contributions shall be made with respect to an Eligible Employee's Catch-Up Contributions (as described in Code Section 414(v) and outlined in the
separate EGTRRA Compliance Amendment) to the Plan provided that such Catch-Up Contributions do not exceed the Compensation limitation on Tax-Deferred Contributions matched under the formula. 
  

	6.8	True Up Matching Contributions 

 At the end of a Plan Year, an
Employer shall make a True Up Matching Contribution on behalf of each of its Eligible Employees during such Plan Year who has met the allocation requirements for True Up Matching Contributions described in this Article. Such True Up Matching

Employee's Tax-Deferred Contributions and Compensation for the full Plan Year. 
  

	6.9	Verification of Amount of Employer Contributions by the Sponsor 

 The Administrator shall verify the amount of Employer Contributions to be made by each Employer in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator shall
determine the portion of the Employer Contribution to be made by each Employer with respect to an Employee who transfers from employment with one Employer as an Employee to employment with another Employer as an Employee. 
  

	6.10	Payment of Employer Contributions 

 Employer Contributions made for
a Contribution Period shall be paid in cash to the Trustee within the period of time required under the Code in order for the contribution to be deductible by the Employer in determining its Federal income taxes for the Plan Year. In no event,
however, shall the Matching Contribution with respect to Tax-Deferred Contributions made during a Plan Year quarter be contributed later than the last day of the immediately following Plan Year quarter. 
 In no event shall an Employer deliver Matching Contributions to the Trustee on behalf of an Eligible Employee prior to the date the Eligible Employee performs the
services with respect to which the Matching Contribution is being made, unless such pre-funding is to accommodate a bona fide administrative concern and is not for the principal purpose of accelerating deductions. 
  

 29 









	6.11	Allocation Requirements for Employer Contributions 

 A person who
was an Eligible Employee during a Contribution Period shall be eligible to receive an allocation of Discretionary Contributions for such Contribution Period only if he is employed as an Employee on the last day of the Contribution Period.

Contributions for such Contribution Period.

 ARTICLE VII 
 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

	7.1	Definitions 

 For purposes of this Article VII, the definitions of
terms used in this Article are found in Section 1.1. 
  

	7.2	Code Section 402(g) Limit 

 In no event shall the amount of the
Tax-Deferred Contributions made on behalf of an Eligible Employee for his taxable year, when aggregated with any Elective Contributions made on behalf of the Eligible Employee under any other plan of an Employer or a Related Company for his taxable
year, exceed the dollar limit imposed under Code Section 402(g), as in effect on January 1 of the calendar year in which such taxable year begins. In the event that the Administrator determines that the reduction percentage elected by an
Eligible Employee will result in his exceeding the Code Section 402(g) limit, the Administrator may adjust the reduction authorization of such Eligible Employee by reducing the percentage of his Tax-Deferred Contributions to such smaller
percentage that will result in the Code Section 402(g) limit not being exceeded. If the Administrator determines that the Tax-Deferred Contributions made on behalf of an Eligible Employee would exceed the Code Section 402(g) limit for his
taxable year, the Tax-Deferred Contributions for such Participant shall be automatically suspended for the remainder, if any, of such taxable year. 
 If an
Employer notifies the Administrator that the Code Section 402(g) limit has nevertheless been exceeded by an Eligible Employee for his taxable year, the Tax-Deferred Contributions that, when aggregated with Elective Contributions made on behalf
of the Eligible Employee under any other plan of an Employer or a Related Company, would exceed the Code Section 402(g) limit, plus any income and minus any losses attributable thereto, shall be distributed to the Eligible Employee no later
than the April 15 immediately following such taxable year. Any Tax-Deferred Contributions that are distributed to an Eligible Employee in accordance with this Section shall not be taken into account in determining the Eligible Employee's
Deferral Percentage for the Testing Year in which the Tax-Deferred Contributions were made, unless the Eligible Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee. 
 If an amount of Tax-Deferred Contributions is distributed to a Participant in accordance with this Section, Matching Contributions that are attributable solely to the distributed Tax-Deferred Contributions, plus any income and minus any
losses attributable thereto, shall be forfeited by the Participant no earlier than the date on which distribution of Tax-Deferred Contributions pursuant to this Section occurs and no later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year
for which the Matching Contributions were made. 
  

 31 









	7.3	Distribution of Excess Deferrals 

 Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant notifies the Administrator in writing no later than the March 1 following the close of the Participant's taxable year that Excess Deferrals have been made on his behalf under the Plan for
such taxable year, the Excess Deferrals, plus any income and minus any losses attributable thereto, shall be distributed to the Participant no later than the April 15 immediately following such taxable year. Any Tax-Deferred Contributions that
are distributed to a Participant in accordance with this Section shall nevertheless be taken into account in determining the Participant's Deferral Percentage for the Testing Year in which the Tax-Deferred Contributions were made. If an amount of
Tax-Deferred Contributions is distributed to a Participant in accordance with this Section, Matching Contributions that are attributable solely to the distributed Tax-Deferred Contributions, plus any income and minus any losses attributable thereto,
shall be forfeited by the Participant no earlier than the date on which distribution of Tax-Deferred Contributions pursuant to this Section occurs and no later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the Matching
Contributions were made. 
  

	7.4	Limitation on Tax-Deferred Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Tax-Deferred Contributions made with respect to a Plan Year on behalf of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees may not result in an average Deferral
Percentage for such Eligible Employees that exceeds the greater of: 
  

	(a)	a percentage that is equal to 125 percent of the average Deferral Percentage for all other Eligible Employees for the Testing Year; or 

  

	(b)	a percentage that is not more than 200 percent of the average Deferral Percentage for all other Eligible Employees for the Testing Year and that is not more than two percentage
points higher than the average Deferral Percentage for all other Eligible Employees for the Testing Year, unless the Excess Contributions, determined as provided in Section 7.5, are distributed as provided in Section 7.6.


 In order to assure that the limitation contained herein is not exceeded with respect to a Plan Year, the Administrator is authorized to
suspend completely further Tax-Deferred Contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for any remaining portion of a Plan Year or to adjust the projected Deferral Percentages of Highly Compensated Employees by reducing the percentage of
their deferral elections for any remaining portion of a Plan Year to such smaller percentage that will result in the limitation set forth above not being exceeded. In the event of any such suspension or reduction, Highly Compensated Employees
affected thereby shall be notified of the reduction or suspension as soon as possible and shall be given an opportunity to make a new deferral election to be 

  

 32 








 
effective the first day of the next following Plan Year. In the absence of such an election, the election in effect immediately prior to the suspension or
adjustment described above shall be reinstated as of the first day of the next following Plan Year. 
 In determining the Deferral Percentage for any
Eligible Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year, Elective Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions, (to the extent that Qualified Nonelective Contributions are taken into account in determining Deferral
Percentages) made to his accounts under any plan of an Employer or a Related Company that is not mandatorily disaggregated pursuant to IRS regulations Section 1.410(b)-7(c), as modified by Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4) (without regard to the
prohibition on aggregating plans with inconsistent testing methods contained in Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)((iii)(B) and the prohibition on aggregating plans with different plan years contained in Section 1.410(b)-7(d)(5)), shall be treated
as if all such contributions were made to the Plan; provided, however, that if such a plan has a plan year different from the Plan Year, any such contributions made to the Highly Compensated Employee's accounts under the other plan during the Plan
Year shall be treated as if such contributions were made to the Plan. 
 If one or more plans of an Employer or Related Company are aggregated with the Plan
for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b), then Deferral Percentages under the Plan shall be calculated as if the Plan and such one or more other plans were a single plan. Pursuant to Treasury regulations
Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(v), an Employer may elect to calculate Deferral Percentages aggregating ESOP and non-ESOP plans. In addition, an Employer may elect to calculate Deferral Percentages aggregating different bargaining units within a
bargained plan, provided that such aggregation is done on a reasonable basis and is reasonably consistent from year to year. Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph only if they have the same plan year and utilize the same testing method to
satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k). 
 The Administrator shall maintain records sufficient to show that the limitation contained in this
Section was not exceeded with respect to any Plan Year and the amount of the Qualified Nonelective Contributions taken into account in determining Deferral Percentages for any Plan Year. 
 Since the Plan provides that Employees are eligible to make Tax-Deferred Contributions before they have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1) and applies Code
Section 410(b)(4)(B) in determining whether the cash or deferred arrangement meets the requirements of Code Section 410(b)(1), the Administrator may apply the limitations on Tax-Deferred Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees
described in this Article VII either: 
  

	(a)	by comparing the average Deferral Percentage of all Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year to the average Deferral Percentage for the Testing Year
of those Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees and who have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1); or 

  

 33 









	(b)	separately with respect to Eligible Employees who have not satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1) and Eligible Employees who have
satisfied such minimum age and service requirements. 

 The Plan documentation includes ADP testing provisions that are applicable for any Plan
Year in which the notice requirements described in Code Section 401(k)(12)(D) are not satisfied. Under no circumstance do the ADP testing provisions relieve an Employer from its obligation to make Matching Contributions in accordance with the
terms of the Plan. If ADP testing applies because an Employer did not satisfy the notice requirements, as described in (1) above, the Employer is still obligated to make Matching Contributions in accordance with the Plan provisions. 

 

	7.5	Determination and Allocation of Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions Among Highly Compensated Employees 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the limitation on Tax-Deferred Contributions described in Section 7.4 is exceeded
in any Plan Year, the Administrator shall determine the dollar amount of the excess by reducing the dollar amount of the contributions included in determining the Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Deferral
Percentages as follows: 
  

	(a)	The highest Deferral Percentage(s) shall be reduced to the greater of (1) the maximum Deferral Percentage that satisfies the limitation on Tax-Deferred Contributions described
in Section 7.4 or (2) the next highest Deferral Percentage. 

  

	(b)	If the limitation on Tax-Deferred Contributions described in Section 7.4 would still be exceeded after application of the provisions of paragraph (a), the Administrator shall
continue reducing Deferral Percentages of Highly Compensated Employees, continuing with the next highest Deferral Percentage, in the manner provided in paragraph (a) until the limitation on Tax-Deferred Contributions described in
Section 7.4 is satisfied. 

 The determination of the amount of Excess Contributions hereunder shall be made after Tax-Deferred
Contributions and Excess Deferrals have been distributed pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3, if applicable. 
 After determining the dollar amount of the
Excess Contributions that have been made to the Plan, the Administrator shall then allocate such excess among Highly Compensated Employees in order of the dollar amount of their Deferral Percentages as follows: 
  

	(c)	The contributions included in the Deferral Percentage(s) of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the largest dollar amount of Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year shall be
reduced by the dollar amount of the excess (with such dollar amount being allocated equally among all such Highly Compensated Employees), but not below the dollar amount of the Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the next
highest dollar amount of Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year. 

  

 34 









	(d)	If the excess has not been fully allocated after application of the provisions of paragraph (c), the Administrator shall continue reducing the contributions made on behalf of Highly
Compensated Employees, continuing with the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest remaining dollar amount of such contributions allocated to their Accounts for the Plan Year, in the manner provided in paragraph (c) until the entire
excess determined above has been allocated. 

  

	7.6	Distribution of Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions 

 Excess Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee pursuant to the preceding Section, plus any income
and minus any losses attributable thereto, shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee prior to the end of the next succeeding Plan Year. If such excess amounts are distributed more than 2  1/2 months after the last day of the Plan Year for which the excess occurred, an excise tax may be imposed under Code Section 4979 on the Employer
maintaining the Plan with respect to such amounts. 
 If an amount of Tax-Deferred Contributions is distributed to a Participant in accordance with
this Section, Matching Contributions that are attributable solely to the distributed Tax-Deferred Contributions, plus any income and minus any losses attributable thereto, shall be forfeited by the Participant no earlier than the date on which
distribution of Tax-Deferred Contributions pursuant to this Section occurs and no later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the Matching Contributions were made. 
  

	7.7	Limitation on Matching Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Matching Contributions made with respect to a Plan Year on behalf of Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees may not result in an average Contribution
Percentage for such Eligible Participants that exceeds the greater of: 
  

	(a)	a percentage that is equal to 125 percent of the average Contribution Percentage for all other Eligible Participants for the Testing Year; or 

  

	(b)	a percentage that is not more than 200 percent of the average Contribution Percentage for all other Eligible Participants for the Testing Year and that is not more than two
percentage points higher than the average Contribution Percentage for all other Eligible Participants for the Testing Year, unless the Excess Contributions, determined as provided in Section 7.8, are distributed as provided in Section 7.9.


  

 35 








 In determining the Contribution Percentage for any Eligible Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan
Year, Matching Contributions, Employee Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions, and Elective Contributions (to the extent that Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Elective Contributions are taken into account in determining
Contribution Percentages) made to his accounts under any plan of an Employer or a Related Company that is not mandatorily disaggregated pursuant to IRS regulations Section 1.410(b)-7(c), as modified by Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(4) (without
regard to the prohibition on aggregating plans with inconsistent testing methods contained in Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(4)((iii)(B) and the prohibition on aggregating plans with different plan years contained in Section 1.410(b)-7(d)(5)),
shall be treated as if all such contributions were made to the Plan; provided, however, that if such a plan has a plan year different from the Plan Year, any such contributions made to the Highly Compensated Employee's accounts under the other plan
during the Plan Year shall be treated as if such contributions were made to the Plan. 
 If one or more plans of an Employer or Related Company are
aggregated with the Plan for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b), then Contribution Percentages under the Plan shall be calculated as if the Plan and such one or more other plans were a single plan.
Pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(4)(v), an Employer may elect to calculate Contribution Percentages aggregating ESOP and non-ESOP plans. In addition, an Employer may elect to calculate Contribution Percentages aggregating
different bargaining units within a bargained plan, provided that such aggregation is done on a reasonable basis and is reasonably consistent from year to year. Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph only if they have the same plan year and
utilize the same testing method to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m). 
 The Administrator shall maintain records sufficient to show that
the limitation contained in this Section was not exceeded with respect to any Plan Year and the amount of the Elective Contributions and/or Qualified Nonelective Contributions taken into account in determining Contribution Percentages for any Plan
Year. 
 Since the Plan provides for Matching Contributions, provides that Employees are eligible for Matching Contributions before they have satisfied the
minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1), and applies Code Section 410(b)(4)(B) in determining whether the portion of the Plan subject to Code Section 401(m) meets the requirements of Code
Section 410(b)(1), the Administrator may apply the limitations on After-Tax and Matching Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in this Article VII either: 
  

	(a)	by comparing the average Contribution Percentage of all Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year to the average Contribution Percentage for the
Testing Year of those Eligible Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees and who have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1); or 

  

 36 









	(b)	Separately with respect to Eligible Participants who have not satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1) and Eligible Participants who have
satisfied such minimum age and service requirements. 

  

	7.8	Determination and Allocation of Excess Matching Contributions Among Highly Compensated Employees 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the limitation on Matching Contributions described in Section 7.7 is exceeded in any Plan Year, the Administrator shall determine
the dollar amount of the excess by reducing the dollar amount of the contributions included in determining the Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Contribution Percentages as follows: 
  

	(a)	The highest Contribution Percentages shall be reduced to the greater of (1) the maximum Contribution Percentage that satisfies the limitation on Matching Contributions
described in Section 7.7 or (2) the next highest Contribution Percentage. 

  

	(b)	If the limitation on Matching Contributions described in Section 7.7 would still be exceeded after application of the provisions of paragraph (a), the Administrator shall
continue reducing Contribution Percentages of Highly Compensated Employees, continuing with the next highest Contribution Percentage, in the manner provided in paragraph (a) until the limitation on Matching Contributions described in
Section 7.7 is satisfied. 

 The determination of the amount of excess Matching Contributions shall be made after application of Sections
7.2, 7.3, and 7.6, if applicable. 
 After determining the dollar amount of the Excess Contributions that have been made to the Plan, the Administrator shall
allocate such excess among Highly Compensated Employees in order of the dollar amount of the Matching, Tax-Deferred, and Qualified Nonelective Contributions (to the extent such contributions are included in determining Contribution Percentages)
allocated to their Accounts as follows: 
  

	(c)	 The contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the largest dollar amount of Matching, Tax-Deferred, and Qualified Nonelective
Contributions allocated to his Account for the Plan Year shall be reduced by the dollar amount of the excess (with such dollar amount being allocated equally among all such Highly Compensated 



  

 37 









	 	 
Employees), but not below the dollar amount of such contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the next highest dollar amount of
such contributions allocated to his Account for the Plan Year. 


  

	(d)	If the excess has not been fully allocated after application of the provisions of paragraph (c), the Administrator shall continue reducing the contributions made on behalf of Highly
Compensated Employees, continuing with the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest remaining dollar amount of such contributions allocated to their Accounts for the Plan Year, in the manner provided in paragraph (c) until the entire
excess determined above has been allocated. 

  

	7.9	Distribution of Excess Contributions 

 Excess Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee pursuant to the preceding Section, plus any income and minus any losses attributable thereto, shall be distributed to the Participant prior to the end of
the next succeeding Plan Year as hereinafter provided. If such excess amounts are distributed more than 2  1/2
months after the last day of the Plan Year for which the excess occurred, an excise tax may be imposed under Code Section 4979 on the Employer maintaining the Plan with respect to such amounts. 
 The distribution requirement of this Section shall be satisfied by reducing contributions made by or on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee to the extent necessary
in the following order: 
  

	(a)	Matching Contributions included in determining the Highly Compensated Employee's Contribution Percentage shall be distributed. 

  

	(b)	Tax-Deferred Contributions included in determining the Highly Compensated Employee's Contribution Percentage shall be distributed. 

  

	7.10	Treatment of Forfeited Matching Contributions 

 Any Matching
Contributions that are forfeited pursuant to the provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article shall be applied against the Employer Contribution obligations for any subsequent Contribution Period of the Employer. 
  

	7.11	Determination of Income or Loss 

 The income or loss attributable to
Excess Contributions that are distributed pursuant to this Article shall be determined for the preceding Plan Year and the Gap Period under the method otherwise used for allocating income or loss to Participants' Accounts. 
  

 38 









	7.12	Deemed Satisfaction of the Limitations on Tax-Deferred Contributions and Matching Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, for Plan Years in which the Employers satisfy the safe harbor notice requirements described in the
following Section, and make the Matching Contribution described in Article VI, the Plan shall be deemed to have satisfied the limitations on Tax-Deferred Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in Section 7.4. If the Plan also
satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(11) and regulations issued thereunder, the Plan shall be deemed to have satisfied the limitations on Matching Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in Section 7.7. The
Plan shall not be deemed to have satisfied the limitations on Matching Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year if an Employer or a Related Company maintains a plan under which “matching contributions” on behalf of
Highly Compensated Employees are made at a rate greater than the rate provided under the Plan and such “matching contributions” must be aggregated with Matching Contributions made on behalf of any Highly Compensated Employee under the
Plan. 
  

	7.13	Notice Requirements for Matching Contributions 

 For each Plan Year
in which an Employer makes a Matching Contribution designated to be a safe harbor matching contribution, as provided under IRS Regulations, on behalf of its Eligible Employees, the Employer shall provide such Eligible Employees a notice describing
(i) the formula used for determining Matching Contributions; (ii) any other Employer Contributions available under the Plan and the requirements that must be satisfied to receive an allocation of such Employer Contributions; (iii) the
type and amount of Compensation that may be deferred under the Plan as Tax-Deferred Contributions; (iv) how to make a cash or deferred election under the Plan and the periods in which such elections may be made or changed; and (v) the
withdrawal and vesting provisions applicable to contributions under the Plan. The descriptions required in items (ii) through (v) may be provided by cross references to the relevant section(s) of an up to date summary plan description.

 The notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average Eligible Employee. The Employer shall provide such notice within one of
the following periods, whichever is applicable: 
  

	(a)	for an Employee who is an Eligible Employee 90 days before the beginning of the Plan Year, within the period beginning 90 days and ending 30 days before the beginning of the Plan
Year, or 

  

	(b)	for an Employee who becomes an Eligible Employee after that date, within the period beginning 90 days before the date he becomes an Eligible Employee and ending on the date such
Employee becomes an Eligible Employee. 

  

 39 








 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, an Eligible Employee shall have a reasonable period (not
fewer than 30 days) following receipt of such notice in which to make or amend his election to have his Employer make Tax-Deferred Contributions to the Plan on his behalf. 
  

	7.14	Code Section 415 Limitations on Crediting of Contributions and Forfeitures 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Annual Addition with respect to a Participant for a Limitation Year shall in no event exceed the lesser of (i) $30,000 (adjusted as provided in
Code Section 415(d)) or (ii) 25 percent of the Participant's compensation, as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) and regulations issued thereunder, for the Limitation Year; provided, however, that the limit in clause (i) shall be
pro-rated for any short Limitation Year. If the Annual Addition to the Account of a Participant in any Limitation Year would otherwise exceed the amount that may be applied for his benefit under the limitation contained in this Section, the
limitation shall be satisfied by reducing contributions made to the Participant's Account to the extent necessary in the following order: 
 Tax-Deferred Contributions made on behalf of the Participant for the Limitation Year that have not been matched, if any, shall be reduced. 
 Tax-Deferred Contributions made on behalf of the Participant for the Limitation Year that have been matched, if any, and the Matching Contributions attributable thereto shall be reduced pro rata. 
 Discretionary Contributions otherwise allocable to the Participant's Account for the Limitation Year, if any, shall be reduced. 
 Qualified Nonelective Contributions otherwise allocable to the Participant's Account for the Limitation Year, if any, shall be reduced. 
 The amount of any reduction of Tax-Deferred Contributions (plus any income attributable thereto) shall be returned to the Participant. The amount of any reduction of
Employer Contributions shall be deemed a forfeiture for the Limitation Year. 
 Amounts deemed to be forfeitures under this Section shall be held unallocated
in a suspense account established for the Limitation Year and shall be applied against the Employer's contribution obligation for the next following Limitation Year (and succeeding Limitation Years, as necessary). If a suspense account is in
existence at any time during a Limitation Year, all amounts in the suspense account must be applied against the Employer's contribution obligation before any further contributions that would constitute Annual Additions may be made to the Plan.

 For purposes of this Article, excesses shall result only from the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable error in estimating a Participant's annual
compensation (as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) and regulations issued thereunder), a reasonable error in 

  

 40 








 
determining the amount of Elective Contributions that may be made with respect to any Participant under the limits of Code Section 415, or other limited
facts and circumstances that justify the availability of the provisions set forth above. 
  

	7.15	Application of Code Section 415 Limitations Where Participant is Covered Under Other Qualified Defined Contribution Plan 

 If a Participant is covered by any other qualified defined contribution plan (whether or not terminated) maintained by an Employer or a Related Company concurrently with
the Plan, and if the Annual Addition for the Limitation Year would otherwise exceed the amount that may be applied for the Participant's benefit under the limitation contained in the preceding Section, such excess shall be reduced first by returning
or forfeiting, as provided under the applicable defined contribution plan, the contributions last allocated to the Participant's accounts for the Limitation Year under all such defined contribution plans, and, to the extent such contributions are
returned to the Participant, the income attributable thereto. If contributions are allocated to the defined contribution plans as of the same date, any excess shall be allocated pro rata among the defined contribution plans. For purposes of
determining the order of reduction hereunder, contributions to a simplified employee pension plan described in Code Section 408(k) shall be deemed to have been allocated first and contributions to a welfare benefit fund or individual medical
account shall be deemed to have been allocated next, regardless of the date such contributions were actually allocated. 
  

	7.16	Scope of Limitations 

 The Code Section 415 limitations
contained in the preceding Sections shall be applicable only with respect to benefits provided pursuant to defined contribution plans described in Code Section 415(k). For purposes of applying the Code Section 415 limitations contained in
the preceding Sections, the term “Related Company” shall be adjusted as provided in Code Section 415(h). 
  

 41 








 ARTICLE VIII 
 TRUST FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS 
  

	8.1	General Fund 

 The Trustee shall maintain a General Fund as required
to hold and administer any assets of the Trust that are not allocated among the Investment Funds as provided in the Plan or the Trust Agreement. The General Fund shall be held and administered as a separate common trust fund. The interest of each
Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan in the General Fund shall be an undivided interest. 
  

	8.2	Investment Funds 

 The Investment Committee shall determine the
number and type of Investment Funds and shall communicate the same and any changes therein in writing to the Administrator and the Trustee. Each Investment Fund shall be held and administered as a separate common trust fund. The interest of each
Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan in any Investment Fund shall be an undivided interest. 
 The Investment Committee will offer an Investment Fund
invested primarily in Company Stock that are publicly traded and are “qualifying employer securities” as defined in ERISA Section 407(d)(5). Any funds invested in Company Stock can be transferred into or out of Company Stock at any
time consistent with the Sponsor’s insider trading policy. In no event shall any amounts from a Participant’s Money Purchase Contribution Sub-Account be invested in Company Stock. 
  

	8.3	Loan Investment Fund 

 If a loan from the Plan to a Participant is
approved in accordance with the provisions of Article XII, the Sponsor shall direct the establishment and maintenance of a loan Investment Fund in the Participant's name. The assets of the loan Investment Fund shall be held as a separate trust fund.
A Participant's loan Investment Fund shall be invested in the note(s) reflecting the loan(s) made to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Article XII. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, income received
with respect to a Participant's loan Investment Fund shall be allocated and the loan Investment Fund shall be administered as provided in Article XII. 
  

	8.4	Income on Trust 

 Any dividends, interest, distributions, or other
income received by the Trustee with respect to any Trust Fund maintained hereunder shall be allocated by the Trustee to the Trust Fund for which the income was received. 
  


 42 









	8.5	Accounts 

 As of the first date a contribution is made by or on
behalf of an Employee there shall be established an Account in his name reflecting his interest in the Trust. Each Account shall be maintained and administered for each Participant and Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The
balance of each Account shall be the balance of the account after all credits and charges thereto, for and as of such date, have been made as provided herein and shall include all Sub-Accounts. 
  

	8.6	Sub-Accounts 

 A Participant's Account shall be divided into such
separate, individual Sub-Accounts as are necessary or appropriate to reflect the Participant's interest in the Trust. 
  

 43 








 ARTICLE IX 
 LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS 
  

	9.1	No Life Insurance Contracts 

 A Participant's Account may not be
invested in life insurance contracts on the life of the Participant. 
  

 44 








 ARTICLE X 
 DEPOSIT AND INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

	10.1	Future Contribution Investment Elections 

 Each Eligible Employee
shall make an investment election in the manner and form prescribed by the Administrator directing the manner in which the contributions made on his behalf shall be invested. An Eligible Employee's investment election shall specify the percentage in
whole numbers, of such contributions that shall be allocated to one or more of the Investment Funds with the sum of such percentages equaling 100 percent. The investment election by a Participant shall remain in effect until his entire interest
under the Plan is distributed or forfeited in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or until he records a change of investment election with the Administrator, in such form as the Administrator shall prescribe. If recorded in accordance with
any rules prescribed by the Administrator, a Participant's change of investment election may be implemented as soon as administratively practicable and be effective any day the New York Stock Exchange is open, provided the election is received in a
timely manner. 
  

	10.2	Deposit of Contributions 

 All contributions made on a Participant's
behalf shall be deposited in the Trust and allocated among the Investment Funds in accordance with the Participant's currently effective investment election. If no investment election is recorded with the Administrator at the time contributions are
to be deposited to a Participant's Account, his contributions shall be allocated among the Investment Funds as directed by the Administrator. 
  

	10.3	Election to Transfer Between Funds 

 A Participant may elect to
transfer investments from any Investment Fund to any other Investment Fund. The Participant's transfer election shall specify either (i) a whole number percentage, of the amount eligible for transfer, which percentage may not exceed 100
percent, or (ii) a dollar amount that is to be transferred. Any transfer election must be recorded with the Administrator, in such form as the Administrator shall prescribe. Subject to any restrictions pertaining to a particular Investment
Fund, if recorded in accordance with any rules prescribed by the Administrator, a Participant's transfer election may be implemented effective any day the New York Stock Exchange is open, provided the election is received in a timely manner.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, the following shall apply: 
  

	(a)	No portion of a Participant's Money Purchase Contributions Sub-Account may be transferred to the Company stock Investment Fund. 

  

 45 









	(b)	Transfer elections to or from the Company stock Investment Fund (including in-service withdrawals in accordance with Article XIII or liquidation of amounts to fund loans in
Accordance with Article XII) made by a Participant who is subject to the liability provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) or who is an “Insider” as designated under the Tellabs
Insider Trading Policy shall not be effective except in accordance with the Tellabs Insider Trading Policy unless such transfer election is made at least 6 months following the date of the most recent transfer election made by such Participant under
the Plan or any other plan maintained by an Employer that effected a “discretionary transaction” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of the 1934 Act that was an “opposite way” transaction. For this
purpose, a transfer into the Company stock Investment Fund (or similar fund under another plan) is an “opposite way” transaction from a transfer or distribution out of the Company stock Investment Fund (or similar fund under another plan),
and vice versa. 

  

	(c)	The Administrator may prescribe rules required by the Investment Funds or as it otherwise deems appropriate restricting Participants' transfer elections to preclude excessive or
abusive trading or market timing. 

  

	10.4	Voting and Tendering Company Stock 

 Each Participant who has an
interest in the Company Stock Investment Fund shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which voting and other rights will be exercised with respect to the number of shares of Company Stock credited to his Account. The Trustee,
or the Company upon written notice to the Trustee, shall furnish to each Participant who has Company Stock credited to his or her Account under the Company Stock Investment Fund the date and purpose of each meeting of the stockholders of the Company
at which Company Stock is entitled to be voted. The Trustee, or the Company if it has furnished the above information, shall request from each Participant instructions to be furnished to the Trustee (or to a tabulating agent appointed by the
Trustee) as to the voting at that meeting of Company Stock credited to the Participant’s Account, which instructions shall be kept confidential by the Trustee or tabulating agent and, except as may be required by law, shall not be disclosed to
the Sponsor, any subsidiary or any employee thereof. If the Participant furnishes such instructions to the Trustee or its agent within the time specified in the notification, the Trustee shall vote such Company Stock in accordance with the
Participant’s instructions. All Company Stock credited to Participant Accounts as to which the Trustee or its agent do not receive instructions as specified above and all unallocated Company Stock held in the Company Stock Investment Fund shall
be voted by the Trustee proportionately in the same manner as it votes Company Stock as to which the Trustee or its agents have received voting instructions as specified above. In the event of a tender offer for Company Stock, the Trustee shall not
tender any shares of Company Stock in the Company Stock Investment Fund for which it does not receive timely directions to tender such shares from Participants, except in the case where the Trustee determines that to do so would be inconsistent with
the provisions of Title I of ERISA. 
  

 46 








 All materials provided to other shareholders, including proxy solicitation materials and all tender materials, shall be
provided to each Participant with an interest in the Company stock Investment Fund. 
 A Participant's directions to the Trustee hereunder shall be
communicated in confidence and shall not be divulged to the Employers or to any officer, director, or employee of the Employers. The Sponsor shall establish procedures to provide and maintain such confidentiality and shall appoint a fiduciary with
the responsibility of overseeing such procedures. An independent fiduciary shall be appointed to the extent required under Department of Labor Regulations to maintain such confidentiality. 
  

 47 








 ARTICLE XI 
 CREDITING AND VALUING ACCOUNTS 
  

	11.1	Crediting Accounts 

 All contributions made under the provisions of
the Plan shall be credited to Accounts in the Trust Funds by the Trustee, in accordance with procedures established in writing by the Administrator, either when received or on the succeeding Valuation Date after valuation of the Trust Fund has been
completed for such Valuation Date as provided in Section 11.2, as shall be determined by the Administrator. 
  

	11.2	Valuing Accounts 

 Accounts in the Trust Funds shall be valued by
the Trustee on the Valuation Date, in accordance with procedures established in writing by the Administrator, either in the manner adopted by the Trustee and approved by the Administrator or in the manner set forth in Section 11.3 as Plan
valuation procedures, as determined by the Administrator. 
  

	11.3	Plan Valuation Procedures 

 With respect to the Trust Funds, the
Administrator may determine that the following valuation procedures shall be applied. As of each Valuation Date hereunder, the portion of any Accounts in a Trust Fund shall be adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in the value of the Trust
Fund for the period of time occurring since the immediately preceding Valuation Date for the Trust Fund (the “valuation period”) in the following manner: 
  

	(a)	First, the value of the Trust Fund shall be determined by valuing all of the assets of the Trust Fund at fair market value. 

  

	(b)	Next, the net increase or decrease in the value of the Trust Fund attributable to net income and all profits and losses, realized and unrealized, during the valuation period shall
be determined on the basis of the valuation under paragraph (a) taking into account appropriate adjustments for contributions, loan payments, and transfers to and distributions, withdrawals, loans, and transfers from such Trust Fund during the
valuation period. 

  

	(c)	 Finally, the net increase or decrease in the value of the Trust Fund shall be allocated among Accounts in the Trust Fund in the ratio of the balance of the portion
of such Account in the Trust Fund as of the preceding Valuation Date less any distributions, withdrawals, loans, and transfers from such Account balance in the Trust Fund since the Valuation Date to the aggregate balances of the portions of all
Accounts in the Trust Fund similarly adjusted, and each Account in the Trust Fund shall be credited or charged with the amount of its allocated share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may adopt such 



  

 48 









	 	 
accounting procedures as it considers appropriate and equitable to establish a proportionate crediting of net increase or decrease in the value of the Trust
Fund for contributions, loan payments, and transfers to and distributions, withdrawals, loans, and transfers from such Trust Fund made by or on behalf of a Participant during the valuation period. 


  

	(d)	Expenses, charges and fees will be assessed against each fund as appropriate, as outlined in the prospectus of each fund and/or as outlined any agreement with any fund manager


  

	11.4	Notification 

 Within a reasonable period of time after the end of
each Plan Year, the Administrator or its designee shall notify each Participant and Beneficiary of the value of his Account and Sub-Accounts as of a Valuation Date during the Plan Year. 
  

 49 








 ARTICLE XII 
 LOANS 
  

	12.1	Application for Loan 

 A Participant who is a party in interest as
defined in ERISA Section 3(14) may make application to the Administrator for a loan from his Tax-Deferred, Rollover, After-Tax and Prior Employer Contribution Sub-Accounts to the extent he has such Sub-Accounts. He may not take a loan from his
Money Purchase, Discretionary, Profit-Sharing and Matching Contributions Sub-Accounts. Loans shall be made to Participants in accordance with this Article XII which incorporates all loan guidelines and complies with the requirements of Code
Section 72(p). 
 As collateral for any loan granted hereunder, the Participant shall grant to the Plan a security interest in his vested interest under
the Plan equal to the amount of the loan; provided, however, that in no event may the security interest exceed 50 percent of his vested interest in his Tax-Deferred, Rollover, After-Tax and Prior Employer Contribution Sub-Accounts to the extent he
has such Sub-Accounts determined as of the date as of which the loan is originated in accordance with Plan provisions. The Committee may in its discretion require additional security if deemed appropriate. The Participant also shall enter into an
agreement to repay the loan by payroll withholding. No loan in excess of 50 percent of the Participant's vested interest of his vested interest in his Tax-Deferred, Rollover, After-Tax and Prior Employer Contribution Sub-Accounts to the extent he
has such Sub-Accounts under the Plan shall be made from the Plan. Loans shall not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to other employees. Loans shall bear the loan processing fee as
the Administrator shall from time to time approve. 
 A loan shall not be granted unless the Participant consents to the charging of his Account for unpaid
principal and interest amounts in the event the loan is declared to be in default. 
  

	12.2	Reduction of Account Upon Distribution 

 Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, the amount of a Participant's Account that is distributable to the Participant or his Beneficiary under Article XIII or XV shall be reduced by the portion of his vested interest that is held by the Plan as security for any
loan outstanding to the Participant, provided that the reduction is used to repay the loan. If distribution is made because of the Participant's death prior to the commencement of distribution of his Account and the Participant's vested interest in
his Account is payable to more than one individual as Beneficiary, then the balance of the Participant's vested interest in his Account shall be adjusted by reducing the vested account balance by the amount of the security used to repay the loan, as
provided in the preceding sentence, prior to determining the amount of the benefit payable to each such individual. 
  

 50 









	12.3	Requirements to Prevent a Taxable Distribution 

 Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any loan made to a Participant under this Article: 
  

	(a)	The interest rate on any loan to a Participant shall be a reasonable interest rate commensurate with current interest rates charged for loans made under similar circumstances by
persons in the business of lending money. 

 Unless the Sponsor directs otherwise, the interest rate will be the bank prime rate
plus 1% reported by the U.S. Federal Reserve on the last business day of a calendar quarter effective for loans made on and after the first business day of the subsequent quarter. The source for the interest rate will be www. federalreserve.
gov or other websites that may provide the same information. 
  

	 	(i)	The interest rate on Participant loans will be declared quarterly; however, the Sponsor reserves the right to change the basis for determining the interest rate prospectively with
thirty (30) days notice. 

  

	 	(ii)	These rights will only apply to a loan issued after the change(s) takes effect. 

  

	(b)	The amount of any loan to a Participant (when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans to the Participant from the Plan or any other plan maintained by an Employer or a
Related Company) shall not exceed the lesser of: 

  

	 	(i)	$50,000, reduced by the excess, if any, of the highest outstanding balance of any other loan to the Participant from the Plan or any other plan maintained by an Employer or a
Related Company during the preceding 12-month period over the outstanding balance of such loans on the date a loan is made hereunder; or 

  

	 	(ii)	50 percent of the vested portions of the Participant's of his Tax-Deferred, Rollover, After-Tax and Prior Employer Contribution Sub-Accounts to the extent he has such Sub-Accounts
and his vested interest under all other plans maintained by an Employer or a Related Company. 

  

	(c)	The term of any loan to a Participant shall be no greater than five years, except in the case of a loan used to acquire any dwelling unit which within a reasonable period of time is
to be used (determined at the time the loan is made) as a principal residence (as defined under Code Section 121) of the Participant. 

 Loan repayments will be made by a deduction from each payroll following issuance of the loan. Repayment will begin as soon as is administratively practicable following issuance of the loan, but no more than 2 months
from the date the loan is issued. The Plan Administrator intends to remit repayments by payroll deduction substantially on the 45th calendar day from the loan issuance date. 
  

 51 








 Should loan repayments not be possible from payroll, payments will be due directly from the Participant
by check or similar payment method. Should a Participant not be expected to be able to use payroll repayment or to return promptly to payroll payment, the Plan Administrator may authorize regular payment no less frequently than quarterly on a
revised schedule of amount and payment dates calculated to repay the loan with interest in full in substantially equal payments over the remaining original period of the loan. 
  

	(d)	Substantially level amortization shall be required over the term of the loan with payments made not less frequently than quarterly, except that the amortization schedule may be
waived and payments suspended while a Participant is on a leave of absence from employment with an Employer or any Related Company (for periods in which the Participant does not perform military service as described in paragraph (e)), provided that
all of the following requirements are met: 

  

	 	(i)	Such leave is either without pay or at a reduced rate of pay that, after withholding for employment and income taxes, is less than the amount required to be paid under the
amortization schedule; 

  

	 	(ii)	Payments resume after the earlier of (a) the date such leave of absence ends or (b) the one-year anniversary of the date such leave began; 

  

	 	(iii)	The period during which payments are suspended does not exceed one year; 

  

	 	(iv)	Payments resume in an amount not less than the amount required under the original amortization schedule; and 

  

	 	(v)	The waiver of the amortization schedule does not extend the period of the loan beyond the maximum period permitted under this Article. 

  

	(e)	If a Participant is absent from employment with any Employer or any Related Company for a period during which he performs services in the uniformed services (as defined in chapter
45 of title 38 of the United States Code), whether or not such services constitute qualified military service, the suspension of payments shall not be taken into account for purposes of applying either paragraph (c) or paragraph (d) of
this Section provided that all of the following requirements are met: 

  

	 	(i)	Payments resume upon completion of such military service; 

  

 52 









	 	(ii)	Payments resume in an amount not less than the amount required under the original amortization schedule and continue in such amount until the loan is repaid in full;


  

	 	(iii)	Upon resumption, payments are made no less frequently than required under the original amortization schedule and continue under such schedule until the loan is repaid in full; and


  

	 	(iv)	The loan is repaid in full, including interest accrued during the period of such military service, no later than (1) for loans made prior to January 1, 2004, the last
scheduled repayment date under the original amortization schedule extended by the period of such military service and (2) for loans made on or after January 1, 2004, the maximum period otherwise permitted under this Article extended by the
period of such military service. 

  

	(f)	The loan shall be evidenced by a legally enforceable agreement that demonstrates compliance with the provisions of this Section. 

  

	12.4	Administration of Loan Investment Fund 

 Upon approval of a loan to
a Participant, the Administrator shall direct the Trustee to transfer an amount equal to the loan amount from the Investment Funds in which it is invested, as directed by the Administrator, to the loan Investment Fund established in the
Participant's name. Any loan approved by the Administrator shall be made to the Participant out of the Participant's loan Investment Fund. All principal and interest paid by the Participant on a loan made under this Article shall be deposited to his
Account and shall be allocated upon receipt among the Investment Funds in accordance with the Participant's currently effective investment election. The balance of the Participant's loan Investment Fund shall be decreased by the amount of principal
payments and the loan Investment Fund shall be terminated when the loan has been repaid in full. 
  

	12.5	Default 

 If either (1) a Participant fails to make or cause to
be made, any payment required under the terms of the loan by the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the missed payment was due and the Participant has been provided notice of that payments are late, unless payment is
not made because the Participant is on a leave of absence and the amortization schedule is waived as provided in Section 12.3(d) or (e), or (2) there is an outstanding principal balance existing on a loan after the last scheduled repayment
date (extended as provided in Section 12.3(e), if applicable), the Administrator shall direct the Trustee to declare the loan to be in default, and the entire unpaid balance of such loan, together with accrued interest, shall be immediately due
and payable. In any such event, if such balance and interest thereon is not then paid, the Trustee shall charge the Account of the borrower with the amount of such balance and interest as of the earliest date a distribution may be made from the Plan
to the borrower without adversely affecting the tax qualification of the Plan or of the cash or deferred arrangement. 
  

 53 









	12.6	Deemed Distribution Under Code Section 72(p) 

 If a
Participant's loan is in default, as provided in Section 12.5, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a taxable distribution in the amount of the outstanding loan balance as required under Code Section 72(p), whether or not
distribution may actually be made from the Plan without adversely affecting the tax qualification of the Plan; provided, however, that the taxable portion of such deemed distribution shall be reduced in accordance with the provisions of Code
Section 72(e) to the extent the deemed distribution is attributable to the Participant's After-Tax Contributions. 
 If a Participant is deemed to have
received distribution of an outstanding loan balance hereunder, no further loans may be made to such Participant from his Account unless there is a legally enforceable arrangement among the Participant, the Plan, and the Participant's employer that
repayment of such loan shall be made by payroll withholding. 
  

	12.7	Treatment of Outstanding Balance of Loan Deemed Distributed Under Code Section 72(p) 

 With respect to any loan made on or after January 1, 2002, the balance of such loan that is deemed to have been distributed to a Participant hereunder shall cease to be an outstanding loan for purposes of Code
Section 72(p) and a Participant shall not be treated as having received a taxable distribution when his Account is offset by such outstanding loan balance as provided in Section 12.5. Any interest that accrues on a loan after it is deemed
to have been distributed shall not be treated as an additional loan to the Participant and shall not be included in the Participant's taxable income as a deemed distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, unless a Participant repays such
loan, with interest, the amount of such loan, with interest thereon calculated as provided in the original loan note, shall continue to be considered an outstanding loan for purposes of determining the maximum permissible amount of any subsequent
loan under Section 12.3(b). 
 If allowed by the Plan Administrator and if a Participant elects to make payments on a loan after it is deemed to have
been distributed hereunder, such payments shall be treated as After-Tax Contributions to the Plan solely for purposes of determining the taxable portion of the Participant's Account and shall not be treated as After-Tax Contributions for any other
Plan purpose, including application of the limitations on contributions applicable under Code Sections 401(m) and 415. 
 The provisions of this Section
shall apply with respect to any loan made prior to January 1, 2002, to the extent provided in IRS Regulations Section 1.72(p)-1, Q&A 22. 
  

 54 









	12.8	Special Rules Applicable to Loans 

 Any loan made hereunder shall be
subject to the following rules: 
  

	(a)	Minimum Loan Amount: A Participant may not request a loan for less than $1,000, unless the Administrator determines to permit a lesser loan amount due to the Participant's financial
hardship. 

  

	(b)	Maximum Number of Outstanding Loans: A Participant may not have more than 3 outstanding loans at any time. A Participant with 3 outstanding loans may not apply for another loan

(determined at the time the loan is made) as a principal residence (as defined under Code Section 121) of the Participant shall be no greater than 15 years. 

  

	(d)	Pre-Payment Without Penalty: A Participant may pre-pay the balance of any loan hereunder prior to the date it is due without penalty.

	(f)	An Employee is not eligible for a loan until he is eligible to participate in the Plan.

 ARTICLE XIV 
 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND SETTLEMENT DATE 
  

	14.1	Termination of Employment and Settlement Date 

 A Participant's
Settlement Date shall occur on the date he terminates employment with the Employers and all Related Companies because of death, disability, retirement, or other termination of employment. Written notice of a Participant's Settlement Date shall be
given by the Administrator to the record-keeper. 
  

 60 








 ARTICLE XV 
 DISTRIBUTIONS 
  

	15.1	Distributions to Participants 

 A Participant whose Settlement Date
occurs is entitled to receive a distribution of his vested interest in his Account, in the form provided under Article XVI or the Addendum as appropriate, beginning as soon as reasonably practicable following his Settlement Date or the date his
application for distribution is filed with the Administrator, if later, unless the Participant elects to defer such distribution. 
 A distribution of a
Participant's Money Purchase Contributions Sub-Account must commence by the later of his Normal Retirement Date or Settlement Date. In all events, distribution to a Participant during his lifetime must commence no later than his Required Beginning
Date in accordance with Section 15.4. 
  

	15.2	Distributions to Beneficiaries 

 If a Participant dies prior to his
Benefit Payment Date, his Beneficiary shall receive distribution of the Participant's vested interest in his Account in the form provided under Article XVI beginning as soon as reasonably practicable following the date the Beneficiary's application
for distribution is filed with the Administrator. Unless distribution is to be made over the life or over a period certain not greater than the life expectancy of the Beneficiary, distribution of the Participant's entire vested interest shall be
made to the Beneficiary no later than the end of the calendar year beginning after the Participant's death. If distribution is to be made over the life or over a period certain no greater than the life expectancy of the Beneficiary, distribution
shall commence no later than: 
  

	(a)	If the Beneficiary is not the Participant's spouse, the end of the first calendar year beginning after the Participant's death; or 

  

	 (b)
	 If the Beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, the later of (i) the end of the first calendar year beginning after
the Participant's death or (ii) the end of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70  1/2. 


 If distribution is to be made to a Participant's spouse, it shall be made available within a reasonable period
of time after the Participant's death that is no less favorable than the period of time applicable to other distributions. If a Participant dies after the date distribution of his vested interest in his Account begins under this Article, but before
his entire vested interest in his Account is distributed, his Beneficiary shall receive distribution of the remainder of the Participant's vested interest in his Account beginning as soon as reasonably practicable following the Participant's date of
death in a form that provides for distribution at least as rapidly as under the form in which the Participant was receiving distribution. 
  

 61 









	15.3	Cash Outs and Participant Consent 

 Except as allowed in Article
XIII, a Participant whose Settlement Date has not occurred will not be able to request a Cash Out until his Settlement Date, unless required under Section 15.4. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant's vested interest in his Account does not exceed $1,000, distribution of such vested interest shall be made to the Participant in a
single sum payment or through a direct rollover if Participant elects to have this paid as a direct rollover, as described in Article XVI, as soon as reasonably practicable following his Settlement Date. If a Participant has no vested interest in
his Account on his Settlement Date, he shall be deemed to have received distribution of such vested interest on his Settlement Date. 
 If a Participant's
vested interest in his Account exceeds $1,000 and his Settlement Date has occurred, distribution shall not commence to such Participant prior to the later of his Normal Retirement Date or the date he attains age 62 without the Participant's written
consent and, if the Participant is married and his Account is subject to the “automatic annuity” provisions of the Addendum, the written consent of his spouse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, spousal consent shall not be required if
distribution is made through the purchase of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or the spouse cannot be located or spousal consent cannot be obtained for other reasons set forth in Code Section 401(a)(11) and regulations issued thereunder.

 If a Participant's Account is subject to the “automatic annuity” provisions specified in the Addendum, the Participant's vested interest in his
Account shall be deemed to exceed $1,000 if the Participant's Benefit Payment Date has occurred with respect to amounts currently held in his Account and as of such Benefit Payment Date his vested interest in his Account exceeded $1,000. 

 

	15.4	Required Commencement of Distribution 

 Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, distribution of a Participant's vested interest in his Account shall commence to the Participant no later than his Required Beginning Date. 
 Distributions required to commence under this Section shall be made in the form provided under Article XVI and in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and regulations issued thereunder, including the minimum
distribution incidental benefit requirements. 
  

 62 









	15.5	Reemployment of a Participant 

 If a Participant whose Settlement
Date has occurred is reemployed by an Employer or a Related Company, he shall lose his right to any distribution or further distributions from the Trust arising from his prior Settlement Date and his interest in the Trust shall thereafter be treated
in the same manner as that of any other Participant whose Settlement Date has not occurred. 
  

	15.6	Restrictions on Alienation 

 Except as provided in Code
Section 401(a)(13) (relating to qualified domestic relations orders), Code Section 401(a)(13)(C) and (D) (relating to offsets ordered or required under a criminal conviction involving the Plan, a civil judgment in connection with a
violation or alleged violation of fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, or a settlement agreement between the Participant and the Department of Labor in connection with a violation or alleged violation of fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA),
Section 1.401(a)-13(b)(2) of Treasury regulations (relating to Federal tax levies and judgments), or as otherwise required by law, no benefit under the Plan at any time shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, assignment
(either at law or in equity), encumbrance, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process; and no person shall have power in any manner to anticipate, transfer, assign (either at law or in equity), alienate or subject to
attachment, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process, or in any way encumber his benefits under the Plan, or any part thereof, and any attempt to do so shall be void. 
  

	15.7	Facility of Payment 

 If the Administrator finds that any individual
to whom an amount is payable hereunder is incapable of attending to his financial affairs because of any legal, mental or physical condition, including the infirmities of advanced age, such amount (unless prior claim therefor shall have been made by
a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative) may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be paid to another person for the use or benefit of the individual found incapable of attending to his financial affairs or in satisfaction of
legal obligations incurred by or on behalf of such individual. The Trustee shall make such payment only upon receipt of written instructions to such effect from the Administrator. Any such payment shall be charged to the Account from which any such
payment would otherwise have been paid to the individual found incapable of attending to his financial affairs and shall be a complete discharge of any liability therefor under the Plan. 
  

	15.8	Inability to Locate Payee 

 If any benefit becomes payable to any
person, or to the executor or administrator of any deceased person, and if that person or his executor or administrator does not present himself to the Administrator within two years after the Administrator has received a 

  

 63 








 
request for distribution and the Administrator either (i) can not locate the Participant or, (ii) if applicable can not locate a Beneficiary that
benefit, in the discretion of the Administrator, can be forfeited. However, if the payee later files a claim for that benefit, the benefit will be restored. 
 Any amount forfeited under this Section shall reduce the Discretionary Contribution or reinstate the benefits of Eligible Employees who are entitled to have previous Service bridged in accordance with Section 1.1. 
  

	15.9	Distribution Pursuant to Qualified Domestic Relations Orders 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a qualified domestic relations order so provides, distribution may be made to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code
Section 414(p), regardless of whether the Participant's Settlement Date has occurred or whether the Participant is otherwise entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan. 
  

 64 








 ARTICLE XVI 
 FORM OF PAYMENT 
  

	16.1	Applicability 

 Subject to the provisions of the Addendum regarding
prior protected forms of payment, the provisions of this Article shall apply to all Participants and Beneficiaries eligible to receive a distribution under the Plan.

distribution of all Sub-Accounts other than a Participant’s Money Purchase Contribution Sub-Account, shall be made to a Participant, or his Beneficiary, if the Participant has died, in a single sum cash payment. 
  

	16.3	Direct Rollover 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to
the contrary, in lieu of receiving distribution in the form of payment provided under this Article, a “qualified distributee” may elect in writing, in accordance with rules prescribed by the Administrator, to have a portion or all of any
“eligible rollover distribution” paid directly by the Plan to the “eligible retirement plan” designated by the “qualified distributee”. Any such payment by the Plan to another “eligible retirement plan” shall
be a direct rollover. 
 For purposes of this Section, the following terms have the following meanings: 
  

	(a)	An “eligible retirement plan” means 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), or a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a) that accepts rollovers; provided, however, that, in the case of a direct rollover by a surviving spouse, an
eligible retirement plan does not include a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a). Also, with respect to any non-spouse “qualified distributee”, such “eligible retirement plan” shall mean an individual retirement
account treated as an inherited individual retirement account. 

  

	(b)	An “eligible rollover distribution” means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance of a Participant's Account; provided, however, that an eligible rollover
distribution does not include the following: 

  

	 	(i)	any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9). 

  

 65 









	 	(ii)	the portion of any distribution that consists of the Participant's After-Tax Contributions. 

  

	 	(iii)	any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payment made not less frequently than annually for the life or life expectancy of the “qualified
distributee” or the joint lives or life expectancies of the “qualified distributee” and the “qualified distributee's” designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more. 

  

	 	(iv)	any hardship withdrawal of Tax-Deferred Contributions made in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII. 

  

	 	(v)	outstanding loan balances. 

  

	(c)	A “qualified distributee” means a Participant, Beneficiary, his surviving spouse, or his spouse or former spouse who is an Alternate Payee under a qualified domestic
relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p). 

  

	16.4	Notice Regarding Form of Payment 

 Within the 60-day period ending
30 days before a Participant's Benefit Payment Date, the Administrator shall provide the Participant with a written explanation of his right to a distribution, his right to make a direct rollover, and the form of payment provided under the Plan.
Distribution of the Participant's Account may commence within a reasonable period after receiving a proper distribution request if the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects an early distribution. 
  

	16.5	Distribution in the Form of Company Stock 

 Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that his Account is invested in Company stock on the date distribution is to be made to a Participant, the Participant may elect to receive distribution of such Account in the form of
Company stock. 
  

 66 








 ARTICLE XVII 
 BENEFICIARIES 
  

	17.1	Designation of Beneficiary 

 An unmarried Participant's Beneficiary
shall be the person or persons designated by such Participant in accordance with rules prescribed by the Administrator. A married Participant's Beneficiary shall be his spouse, unless the Participant designates a person or persons other than his
spouse as Beneficiary with his spouse's written consent. For purposes of this Section, a Participant shall be treated as unmarried and spousal consent shall not be required if the Participant is not married on his Benefit Payment Date. 

A married Participant's designation of a Beneficiary shall be subject to the Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity provisions described in the Addendum.

 If no Beneficiary has been designated pursuant to the provisions of this Section, or if no Beneficiary survives the Participant and he has no surviving
spouse, then the Beneficiary under the Plan shall be the Participant's estate. If a Beneficiary dies after becoming entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan but before distribution is made to him in full, and if the Participant has not
designated another Beneficiary to receive the balance of the distribution in that event, the estate of the deceased Beneficiary shall be the Beneficiary as to the balance of the distribution. 
  

	17.2	Spousal Consent Requirements 

 Any written spousal consent given
pursuant to this Article must acknowledge the effect of the action taken and must be witnessed by a notary public. In addition, the spouse's written consent must either (i) specify any non-spouse Beneficiary designated by the Participant and
that such Beneficiary may not be changed without written spousal consent or (ii) acknowledge that the spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific Beneficiary, but permit the Participant to change the designated Beneficiary without the
spouse's further consent. A Participant's spouse will be deemed to have given written consent to the Participant's designation of Beneficiary if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of a Plan representative that such consent cannot be
obtained because the spouse cannot be located or because of other circumstances set forth in Section 401(a)(11) of the Code and regulations issued thereunder. Any written consent given or deemed to have been given by a Participant's spouse
hereunder shall be valid only with respect to the spouse who signs the consent. 
  

 67

he is entitled under the Plan.

	 	(i)	to establish investment guidelines and objectives for the investment of the Trust Fund and each investment Fund as a part thereof, including, but not by way of limitation, the
establishment of additional investment funds or the consolidation of one or more of the existing funds; 

  

	 	(ii)	to review the performance of and appoint and dismiss the Trustee;

	 	(iv)	to manage the investment of any assets for which the Investment Committee serves as investment advisor. 

  

	(c)	The Investment Committee may, subject to periodic review, (i) allocate or delegate among its members certain powers, (ii) authorize one or more of its members or an agent
to execute or deliver any instruments or make payment on the Investment Committee’s behalf, and (iii) utilize the services of agents and employ persons to perform ministerial, clerical, record-keeping, consulting or legal services to

 69 









	(d)	The Investment Committee shall maintain records and accounts showing the fiscal transactions and performance evaluations of the Trust Fund. At least annually, the Investment
Committee shall submit to the Board a report regarding the operation of the Trust during the past year and shall also submit such other reports as the Board shall request. 

  

	18.3	Discretionary Authority 

 In carrying out its duties under the Plan,
including making benefit determinations, interpreting or construing the provisions of the Plan, and resolving disputes, the Sponsor (or any individual to whom authority has been delegated in accordance with Section 18.1) shall have absolute
discretionary authority. 
  

	18.4	Action of the Sponsor 

 Any act authorized, permitted, or required
to be taken under the Plan by the Sponsor and which has not been delegated in accordance with Section 18.1, may be taken by a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Sponsor, either by vote at a meeting, or in writing without a
meeting, or by the employee or employees of the Sponsor designated by the board of directors to carry out such acts on behalf of the Sponsor. All notices, advice, directions, certifications, approvals, and instructions required or authorized to be
given by the Sponsor under the Plan shall be in writing and signed by either (i) a majority of the members of the Sponsor's board of directors or by such member or members as may be designated by an instrument in writing, signed by all the
members thereof, as having authority to execute such documents on its behalf, or (ii) the employee or employees authorized to act for the Sponsor in accordance with the provisions of this Section. 
  

	18.5	Claims Review Procedure 

  

	(a)	Any person who believes that he is then entitled to receive a benefit under the Plan, including one greater than that initially determined by the Administrative Committee, may file
a claim in writing with the Administrative Committee. 

  

	(b)	The Administrative Committee shall within 90 days of the receipt of a claim either allow or deny the claim in writing. A denial of a claim shall be written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include: 

  

	 	(i)	the specific reason or reasons for the denial; 

  

 70 









	 	(ii)	specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 

  

	 	(iii)	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and


  

	 	(iv)	an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure. 

  

	(c)	A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative) may, within 60 days after receipt of denial of his claim: 

  

	 	(i)	submit a written request for review to the Administrative Committee; 

  

	 	(ii)	review pertinent documents; and 

  

	 	(iii)	submit issues and comments in writing. 

  

	(d)	The Administrative Committee shall notify the claimant of its decision on review within 60 days of receipt of a request for review. The decision on review shall be written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. 

  

	(e)	The 90-day and 60-day periods described in subsections (b) and (d) above, respectively, may be extended at the discretion of the Administrative Committee for a second 90-
or 60-day period, as the case may be, provided that written notice of the extension is furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial period, indicating the special circumstances requiring such extension of time and the date by
which a final decision is expected. 

  

	(f)	Participants and beneficiaries shall not be entitled to challenge the Administrative Committee’s determinations in judicial or administrative proceedings without first
complying with the procedures in this Article. The Administrative Committee’s decisions made pursuant to this Section are intended to be final and binding on Participants, beneficiaries and others. Further, no legal actions may be
commenced with respect to a request by Participant or Participant’s beneficiary for benefits later than two (2) years after the Participant or Participant’s beneficiary originally filed his claim for benefits.


  

	18.6	Qualified Domestic Relations Orders 

 The Sponsor shall establish
reasonable procedures to determine the status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under domestic relations orders which are deemed to be qualified orders. Such procedures shall be in writing and shall comply with the
provisions of Code Section 414(p) and regulations issued thereunder. 
  

 71 









	18.7	Indemnification 

 In addition to whatever rights of indemnification
the members of the Sponsor's board of directors or any employee or employees of the Sponsor to whom any power, authority, or responsibility is delegated pursuant to Section 18.4, may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or
regulations of the Sponsor, under any provision of law, or under any other agreement, the Sponsor shall satisfy any liability actually and reasonably incurred by any such person or persons, including expenses, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and
amounts paid in settlement (other than amounts paid in settlement not approved by the Sponsor), in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding which is related to the exercising or failure to exercise by such
person or persons of any of the powers, authority, responsibilities, or discretion as provided under the Plan, or reasonably believed by such person or persons to be provided hereunder, and any action taken by such person or persons in connection
therewith, unless the same is judicially determined to be the result of such person or persons' gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  

	18.8	Actions Binding 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 18.5,
any action taken by the Sponsor which is authorized, permitted, or required under the Plan shall be final and binding upon the Employers, the Trustee, all persons who have or who claim an interest under the Plan, and all third parties dealing with
the Employers or the Trustee. 
  

 72 








 ARTICLE XIX 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  

	19.1	Amendment 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 19.2, the
Sponsor may at any time and from time to time, by action of its board of directors, or such officers of the Sponsor as are authorized by its board of directors, amend the Plan, either prospectively or retroactively. Any such amendment shall be by
written instrument executed by the Sponsor. 
  

	19.2	Limitation on Amendment 

 The Sponsor shall make no amendment to the
Plan which shall decrease the accrued benefit of any Participant or Beneficiary, except that nothing contained herein shall restrict the right to amend the provisions of the Plan relating to the administration of the Plan and Trust. Moreover, no
such amendment shall be made hereunder which shall permit any part of the Trust to revert to an Employer or any Related Company or be used or be diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries, unless all
distribution obligations Participants and Beneficiaries have been met. The Sponsor shall make no retroactive amendment to the Plan unless such amendment satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(b) and/or Section 1.401(a)(4)-11(g) of
the Treasury regulations, as applicable. 
  

	19.3	Termination 

 The Sponsor reserves the right, by action of its board
of directors, to terminate the Plan as to all Employers at any time (the effective date of such termination being hereinafter referred to as the “termination date”). Upon any such termination of the Plan, the following actions shall be
taken for the benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries: 
  

	(a)	As of the termination date, each Investment Fund shall be valued and all Accounts and Sub-Accounts shall be adjusted in the manner provided in Article XI, with any unallocated
contributions or forfeitures being allocated as of the termination date in the manner otherwise provided in the Plan. The termination date shall become a Valuation Date for purposes of Article XI. In determining the net worth of the Trust, there
shall be included as a liability such amounts as shall be necessary to pay all expenses in connection with the termination of the Trust and the liquidation and distribution of the property of the Trust, as well as other expenses, whether or not
accrued, and shall include as an asset all accrued income. 

  

	(b)	 All Accounts shall then be disposed of to or for the benefit of each Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Article XV as if the
termination date were his Settlement Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the 



  

 73 









	 	 
provisions of Article XV, if the Plan does not offer an annuity option and if neither his Employer nor a Related Company establishes or maintains another
defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(7)), the Participant's written consent to the commencement of distribution shall not be required regardless of the value of the vested
portions of his Account. 


  

	(c)	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, no distribution shall be made to a Participant of any portion of the balance of his Tax-Deferred Contributions
Sub-Account on account of Plan termination (other than a distribution made in accordance with Article XIII or required in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9)) unless (i) neither his Employer nor a Related Company establishes or
maintains another defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(7), a tax credit employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code Section 409, a simplified employee pension as
defined in Code Section 408(k), a SIMPLE IRA plan as defined in Code Section 408(p), a plan or contract that meets the requirements of Code Section 403(b), or a plan that is described in Code Section 457(b) or (f)) either at the
time the Plan is terminated or at any time during the period ending 12 months after distribution of all assets from the Plan; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply if fewer than 2% of the Eligible Employees under the Plan were
eligible to participate at any time in such other defined contribution plan during the 24 month period beginning 12 months before the Plan termination, and (ii) the distribution the Participant receives is a “lump sum distribution” as
defined in Code Section 402(e)(4), without regard to clauses (I), (II), (III), and (IV) of sub-paragraph (D)(i) thereof. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, upon any such Plan termination, the vested interest of each Participant and Beneficiary in his Employer Contributions Sub-Account shall be 100 percent; and, if there is a
partial termination of the Plan, the vested interest of each Participant and Beneficiary who is affected by the partial termination in his Employer Contributions Sub-Account shall be 100 percent. For purposes of the preceding sentence only, the Plan
shall be deemed to terminate automatically if there shall be a complete discontinuance of contributions hereunder by all Employers. 
  

	19.4	Reorganization 

 The merger, consolidation, or liquidation of any
Employer with or into any other Employer or a Related Company shall not constitute a termination of the Plan as to such Employer. If an Employer disposes of substantially all of the assets used by the Employer in a trade or business or disposes of a
subsidiary and in connection therewith one or more Participants terminates employment but continues in employment with the purchaser of the assets or with such subsidiary, no distribution from the Plan shall be made to any such Participant from his
Tax-Deferred Contributions Sub-Account prior to his separation from service (other than a distribution 

  

 74 








 
made in accordance with Article XIII or required in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9)), except that a distribution shall be permitted to be made in
such a case, subject to the Participant's consent (to the extent required by law), if (i) the distribution would constitute a “lump sum distribution” as defined in Code Section 402(e)(4), without regard to clauses (I), (II),
(III), or (IV) of sub-paragraph (D)(i) thereof, (ii) the Employer continues to maintain the Plan after the disposition, (iii) the purchaser does not maintain the Plan after the disposition, and (iv) the distribution is made by the end
of the second calendar year after the calendar year in which the disposition occurred. 
  

	19.5	Withdrawal of an Employer 

 An Employer other than the Sponsor may
withdraw from the Plan at any time upon notice in writing to the Administrator (the effective date of such withdrawal being hereinafter referred to as the “withdrawal date”), and shall thereupon cease to be an Employer for all purposes of
the Plan. An Employer shall be deemed automatically to withdraw from the Plan in the event of its complete discontinuance of contributions, or, subject to Section 19.4 and unless the Sponsor otherwise directs, it ceases to be a Related Company
of the Sponsor or any other Employer. Upon the withdrawal of an Employer, the withdrawing Employer shall determine whether a partial termination has occurred with respect to its Employees. In the event that the withdrawing Employer determines a
partial termination has occurred, the action specified in Section 19.3 shall be taken as of the withdrawal date, as on a termination of the Plan, but with respect only to Participants who are employed solely by the withdrawing Employer, and
who, upon such withdrawal, are neither transferred to nor continued in employment with any other Employer or a Related Company. The interest of any Participant employed by the withdrawing Employer who is transferred to or continues in employment
with any other Employer or a Related Company, and the interest of any Participant employed solely by an Employer or a Related Company other than the withdrawing Employer, shall remain unaffected by such withdrawal; no adjustment to his Accounts
shall be made by reason of the withdrawal; and he shall continue as a Participant hereunder subject to the remaining provisions of the Plan. 
  

 75 








 ARTICLE XX 
 ADOPTION BY OTHER ENTITIES 
  

	20.1	Adoption by Related Companies 

 A Related Company that is not an
Employer may, with the consent of the Sponsor, adopt the Plan and become an Employer hereunder by causing an appropriate written instrument evidencing such adoption to be executed in accordance with the requirements of its organizational authority.
Any such instrument shall specify the effective date of the adoption. 
  

	20.2	Effective Plan Provisions 

 An Employer who adopts the Plan shall be
bound by the provisions of the Plan in effect at the time of the adoption and as subsequently in effect because of any amendment to the Plan. 
  

 76 








 ARTICLE XXI 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  

	21.1	No Commitment as to Employment 

 Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as a commitment or agreement upon the part of any person to continue his employment with an Employer or Related Company, or as a commitment on the part of any Employer or Related Company to continue the employment, compensation, or
benefits of any person for any period. 
  

	21.2	Benefits 

 Nothing in the Plan nor the Trust Agreement shall be
construed to confer any right or claim upon any person, firm, or corporation other than the Employers, the Trustee, Participants, and Beneficiaries. 
  

	21.3	No Guarantees 

 The Employers, the Administrator, and the Trustee do
not guarantee the Trust from loss or depreciation, nor do they guarantee the payment of any amount which may become due to any person hereunder. 
  

	21.4	Expenses 

 The expenses of operation and administration of the Plan,
including the expenses of the Administrator and fees of the Trustee, shall be paid from the Trust, unless the Sponsor elects to make payment. To the extent paid from the Trust, administrative expenses shall be allocated among Participants' Accounts.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, administrative expenses that are incurred directly with respect to an individual Participant's Account will be allocated to
that Account. 
  

	21.5	Precedent 

 Except as otherwise specifically provided, no action
taken in accordance with the Plan shall be construed or relied upon as a precedent for similar action under similar circumstances. 
  

	21.6	Duty to Furnish Information 

 The Employers, the Administrator, and
the Trustee shall furnish to any of the others any documents, reports, returns, statements, or other information that the other reasonably deems necessary to perform its duties hereunder or otherwise imposed by law. 
  

 77 









	21.7	Merger, Consolidation, or Transfer of Plan Assets 

 The Plan shall
not be merged or consolidated with any other plan, nor shall any of its assets or liabilities be transferred to another plan, unless, immediately after such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets or liabilities, each Participant in the Plan
would receive a benefit under the Plan which is at least equal to the benefit he would have received immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets or liabilities (assuming in each instance that the Plan had then terminated).

  

	21.8	Back Pay Awards 

 The provisions of this Section shall apply only to
an Employee or former Employee who becomes entitled to back pay by an award or agreement of an Employer without regard to mitigation of damages. If a person to whom this Section applies was or would have become an Eligible Employee after such back
pay award or agreement has been effected, and if any such person who had not previously elected to make Tax-Deferred Contributions pursuant to Section 4.1 shall within 30 days of the date he receives notice of the provisions of this Section
make an election to make Tax-Deferred Contributions in accordance with such Section 4.1 (retroactive to any Enrollment Date as of which he was or has become eligible to do so), then such Participant may elect that any Tax-Deferred Contributions
not previously made on his behalf but which, after application of the foregoing provisions of this Section, would have been made under the provisions of Article IV shall be made out of the proceeds of such back pay award or agreement. In addition,
if any such Employee or former Employee would have been eligible to participate in the allocation of Employer Contributions under the provisions of Article VI or XXII for any prior Plan Year after such back pay award or agreement has been effected,
his Employer shall make an Employer Contribution equal to the amount of the Employer Contribution which would have been allocated to such Participant under the provisions of Article VI or XXII as in effect during each such Plan Year. The amounts of
such additional contributions shall be credited to the Account of such Participant. Any additional contributions made pursuant to this Section shall be made in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of the applicable provisions of the Plan.

  

	21.9	Condition on Employer Contributions 

 Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in the Plan or the Trust Agreement, any contribution of an Employer hereunder is conditioned upon the continued qualification of the Plan under Code Section 401(a), the exempt status of the Trust under Code
Section 501(a), and the deductibility of the contribution under Code Section 404. Except as otherwise provided in this Section and Section 21.10, however, in no event shall any portion of the property of the Trust ever revert to or
otherwise inure to the benefit of an Employer or any Related Company. 
  

 78 









	21.10	Return of Contributions to an Employer 

 Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or the Trust Agreement to the contrary, in the event any contribution of an Employer made hereunder: 
  

	(a)	is made under a mistake of fact, or 

  

	(b)	is disallowed as a deduction under Code Section 404, 

 such
contribution may be returned to the Employer within one year after the payment of the contribution or the disallowance of the deduction to the extent disallowed, whichever is applicable. In the event the Plan does not initially qualify under Code
Section 401(a), any contribution of an Employer made hereunder may be returned to the Employer within one year of the date of denial of the initial qualification of the Plan, but only if an application for determination was made within the
period of time prescribed under ERISA Section 403(c)(2)(B). 
  

	21.11	Validity of Plan 

 The validity of the Plan shall be determined and
the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Illinois, except as preempted by applicable Federal law. The invalidity or illegality of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the legality or validity of
any other part thereof. 
  

	21.12	Trust Agreement 

 A Trust has been established by the execution of
the Trust Agreement and is maintained for the purposes of this Plan. The assets of the Trust will be held, invested and disposed of by the Trustee, in accordance with the terms of the Trust, for the benefit of the Participants and their
beneficiaries. 
  

	21.13	Parties Bound 

 The Plan shall be binding upon the Employers, all
Participants and Beneficiaries hereunder, and, as the case may be, the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of each of them. 
  

	21.14	Application of Certain Plan Provisions 

 For purposes of the general
administrative provisions and limitations of the Plan, a Participant's Beneficiary or alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order shall be treated as any other person entitled to receive benefits under the Plan. Upon any termination
of the Plan, any such Beneficiary or alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order who has an interest under the Plan at the time of such termination, which does not cease by reason thereof, shall be deemed to be a Participant for all
purposes of the Plan. A Participant's Beneficiary, if the Participant has died, or alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order shall be treated as a Participant for purposes of directing investments as provided in Article X.

  

 79 









	21.15	Merged Plans 

 In the event another defined contribution plan (the
“merged plan”) is merged into and made a part of the Plan, each Employee who was eligible to participate in the “merged plan” immediately prior to the merger shall become an Eligible Employee on the date of the merger. In no
event shall a Participant's vested interest in his Sub-Account attributable to amounts transferred to the Plan from the “merged plan” (his “transferee Sub-Account”) on and after the merger be less than his vested interest in his
account under the “merged plan” immediately prior to the merger. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant's service credited for eligibility and vesting purposes under the “merged plan” as of
the merger, if any, shall be included as Eligibility and Vesting Service under the Plan to the extent Eligibility and Vesting Service are credited under the Plan. Special provisions applicable to a Participant's “transferee Sub-Account”,
if any, shall be specifically reflected in the Plan or in an Addendum to the Plan. 
  

	21.16	Transferred Funds 

 If funds from another qualified plan are
transferred or merged into the Plan, such funds shall be held and administered in accordance with any restrictions applicable to them under such other plan to the extent required by law and shall be accounted for separately to the extent necessary
to accomplish the foregoing. 
  

	21.17	Veterans Reemployment Rights 

 Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits, and service credit with respect to qualified military service shall be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u). The Administrator shall notify the Trustee of any Participant with
respect to whom additional contributions are made because of qualified military service. 
  

	21.18	Delivery of Cash Amounts 

 To the extent that the Plan requires the
Employers to deliver cash amounts to the Trustee, such delivery may be made through any means acceptable to the Trustee, including wire transfer. 
  

	21.19	Written Communications 

 Any communication among the Employers, the
Administrator, and the Trustee that is stipulated under the Plan to be made in writing may be made in any medium that is acceptable to the receiving party and permitted under applicable law. In addition, any 

  

 80 









	 	 
communication or disclosure to or from Participants and/or Beneficiaries that is required under the terms of the Plan to be made in writing may be provided
in any other medium (electronic, telephonic, or otherwise) that is acceptable to the Administrator and permitted under applicable law. 


  

	21.20	Notification of Addresses 

 Each Participant and each beneficiary
eligible for benefits under this Plan shall file with the Administrative Committee from time to time in writing his post office address and each change of post office address. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to the last post office
address filed with the Administrative Committee, or if no such address was filed with the Administrative Committee, then to the last post office address of the Participant or beneficiary as shown on an Employer’s records, will be binding on the
Participant and his beneficiary for all purposes of this Plan and neither the Administrative Committee nor the Employer shall be obliged to search for or ascertain the whereabouts of any Participant or beneficiary, nor shall any Employer, Committee,
director, officer, employee or agent of any of them be liable for any loss, cost or expense associated with any Participant’s or beneficiary’s failure to so file such Participant’s or beneficiary’s address with the Administrative
Committee. 
  

	21.21	Instructions and Elections 

 Any instructions or elections required
to be made by a Participant in writing under this Plan shall be made in such form and manner (which may include electronic format) as prescribed by the Committee. The Committee shall not be obligated to act with respect to any instructions or
elections until receipt thereof in the prescribed form and manner. The Committee shall take or cause to be taken appropriate action with respect to such instructions or elections as soon as administratively feasible after receipt thereof in the
prescribed form and manner. 
  

 81 








 ARTICLE XXII 
 TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS 
  

	22.1	Definitions 

 For purposes of this Article XXII, the definitions of
terms used in this Article are found in Section 1.1. 
  

	22.2	Applicability 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to
the contrary, the provisions of this Article shall be applicable during any Plan Year in which the Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan as hereinafter defined. 
  

	22.3	Minimum Employer Contribution 

 If the Plan is determined to be a
Top-Heavy Plan for a Plan Year, the Employer Contributions, other than Matching Contributions, allocated to the Account of each Non-key Employee who is an Eligible Employee and who is employed by an Employer or a Related Company on the last day of
such Top-heavy Plan Year shall be no less than the lesser of (i) three percent of his Top Heavy Compensation or (ii) the largest percentage of Top Heavy Compensation that is allocated as an Employer Contribution and/or Tax-Deferred
Contribution for such Plan Year to the Account of any Key Employee; except that, in the event the Plan is part of a Required Aggregation Group, and the Plan enables a defined benefit plan included in such group to meet the requirements of Code
Section 401(a)(4) or 410, the minimum allocation of Employer Contributions to each such Non-key Employee shall be three percent of the Top Heavy compensation of such Non-key Employee. Any minimum allocation to a Non-key Employee required by
this Section shall be made without regard to any social security contribution made on behalf of the non-key employee, his number of hours of service, his level of Top Heavy Compensation, or whether he declined to make elective or mandatory
contributions. 
 Employer Contributions allocated to a Participant's Account in accordance with this Section shall be considered Annual Additions under
Article VII for the Limitation Year for which they are made and shall be separately accounted for. Employer Contributions allocated to a Participant's Account shall be allocated upon receipt among the Investment Funds in accordance with the
Participant's currently effective investment election.

 ADDENDUM 
 TELLABS 401(K) PLAN 
 Re: Protected Prior Annuity Form of Payment 
  

	A.1	Applicability 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to
the contrary, the following provisions apply with respect to Participants who have accounts attributable to amounts transferred to the Plan from the Tellabs Retirement Plan (the “Spin-off Plan”) to the Plan. The term
“Participant” when used in this Addendum refers only to a Participant who satisfies the requirements described herein. The provisions of this Addendum apply only to that portion of a Participant's Account that is attributable to the
Participant's Money Purchase Contributions. The term “Account” when used in this Addendum refers only to that portion of a Participant's Account described in the preceding sentence. 
  

	A.2	Definitions 

 For purposes of this Article, the following terms have
the following meanings: 
 The “automatic annuity form” means the form of annuity that will be purchased on behalf of a Participant.

 A “qualified election” means an election that is made during the “qualified election period”. A “qualified election”
of a form of payment other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or designating a Beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse to receive amounts otherwise payable as a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity must include the notarized
written consent of the Participant's spouse, if any. A Participant's spouse will be deemed to have given written consent to the Participant's election if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of a Plan representative that spousal consent
cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located or because of other circumstances set forth in Code Section 401(a)(11) and regulations issued thereunder. The spouse's written consent must acknowledge the effect of the Participant's
election and must be witnessed by a notary public. In addition, the spouse's written consent must either (i) specify the form of payment selected instead of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, if applicable, and that such form may not be
changed (except to a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity) without written spousal consent and specify any non-spouse Beneficiary designated by the Participant, if applicable, and that such Beneficiary may not be changed without written spousal
consent or (ii) acknowledge that the spouse has the right to limit consent as provided in clause (i), but permit the Participant to change the form of payment selected or the designated Beneficiary without the spouse's further consent. Any
written consent given or deemed to have been given by a Participant's spouse hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only with respect to such spouse and not with respect to any subsequent spouse. 
  

 84 








 Notwithstanding the above, the consent of a Participant’s spouse to the waiver of a Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity shall not be required if the Participant was not married throughout the one-year period ending on his Benefit Payment Date. A Participant who marries within one year before his Benefit Payment Date and is married to such spouse for a
one-year period ending prior to his death shall be deemed to have been married throughout the one-year period ending on his Benefit Payment Date. 
 The
“qualified election period” with respect to the “automatic annuity form” means the 90-day period ending on a Participant's Benefit Payment Date. The “qualified election period” with respect to a Qualified
Preretirement Survivor Annuity means the period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35 or, if he terminates employment prior to such date, the day he terminates employment with his Employer and all
Related Companies. A Participant whose employment has not terminated may make a “qualified election” designating a Beneficiary other than his spouse prior to the Plan Year in which he attains age 35; provided, however, that such election
shall cease to be effective as of the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35. 
  

	A.3	Normal Form of Payment 

 Subject to A.5, unless a Participant, or
his Beneficiary, if the Participant has died, elects the form of payment provided under Article XVI, distribution shall be made to the Participant, or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, through the purchase of a single premium, nontransferable
annuity contract for such term as the Participant, or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, shall select, subject to the automatic annuity and Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity requirements described in this Article; provided, however, that a
Participant's Beneficiary may not elect to receive distribution of an annuity payable over the joint lives of the Beneficiary and any other individual. The terms of any annuity contract purchased hereunder and distributed to a Participant or his
Beneficiary shall comply with the requirements of the Plan. 
  

	A.4	Change of Election 

 Subject to the automatic annuity requirements
of this Addendum, a Participant or Beneficiary who has elected a form of payment provided under Article XVI may revoke or change his election at any time prior to his Benefit Payment Date by filing his election with the Administrator in the form
prescribed by the Administrator. 
  

	A.5	Automatic Annuity Requirements 

 Distribution shall be made to a
Participant through the purchase of an annuity contract that provides for payment in one of the following “automatic annuity forms”, unless the Participant elects the optional form of payment provided in Article XVI. 
  

 85 









	(a)	The “automatic annuity form” for a Participant who is married on his Benefit Payment Date is the 50 percent Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. 


 

	(b)	The “automatic annuity form” for a Participant who is not married on his Benefit Payment Date is the Single Life Annuity. 

 A Participant's election of an annuity other than the “automatic annuity form” or of the optional form of payment shall not be effective unless it is a
“qualified election”; provided, however, that spousal consent shall not be required if the form of payment elected by the Participant is a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. A Participant may only change his election of a form of
payment pursuant to a “qualified election”; provided, however, that spousal consent shall not be required if the form of payment elected by the Participant is a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. 
  

	A.6	Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity Requirements 

 If a married
Participant dies before his Benefit Payment Date, his spouse shall receive distribution of the value of the Participant's vested interest in his Account through the purchase of an annuity contract that provides for payment over the life of the
Participant's spouse. A Participant's spouse may elect to receive distribution under any one of the other forms of payment available under this Article instead of in the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity form. A married Participant may only
designate a non-spouse Beneficiary to receive distribution of his Account pursuant to a “qualified election”. 
  

	A.7	Notice Regarding Forms of Payment 

 The explanation provided to a
Participant pursuant to Article XVI, shall include a description of the annuity form of payment available under the Addendum, including a written explanation of (i) the terms and conditions of the “automatic annuity form”,
(ii) the Participant's right to choose a form of payment other than the “automatic annuity form” or to revoke such choice, and (iii) the rights of the Participant's spouse. 
 The Administrator shall provide such explanation within the 60-day period ending 30 days before the Participant's Benefit Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
distribution of the Participant's Account may commence fewer than 30 days after such explanation is provided to the Participant if (i) the Administrator clearly informs the Participant of his right to consider his election of whether or not to
make a direct rollover or to receive a distribution prior to his Normal Retirement Date and his election of a form of payment for a period of at least 30 days following his receipt of the explanation, (ii) the Participant, after receiving the
explanation, affirmatively elects an early distribution with his spouse's written consent, if necessary, (iii) the Participant may revoke his election at any time prior to the later of his Benefit Payment Date or the expiration of the seven-day
period beginning the day after the date the explanation is provided to him, and (iv) distribution does not commence to the Participant before such revocation period ends. 
  

 86 








 In addition, the Administrator shall provide a Participant with a written explanation of (i) the terms and
conditions of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, (ii) the Participant's right to designate a non-spouse Beneficiary to receive distribution of his Account otherwise payable as a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity or to revoke
such designation, and (iii) the rights of the Participant's spouse. The Administrator shall provide such explanation within one of the following periods, whichever ends last: 
  

	(a)	the period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 32 and ending on the last day of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the
Participant attains age 35; or 

  

	(b)	if an individual becomes a Participant after attaining age 32, no later than the end of the second Plan Year following the date such individual becomes a Participant;


 provided, however, that in the case of a Participant who separates from service prior to attaining age 35, the explanation shall be provided
to such Participant within the period beginning 12 calendar months before the Participant's separation from service and ending 12 calendar months after his separation from service.

 APPENDIX TO 
 TELLABS 401(K) PLAN 
 Re: Minimum Distribution Requirements 
 SECTION I 
 DEFINITIONS

  

	1.1	Definitions 

 For purposes of this Appendix the following terms have
the following meanings. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any term defined in Section 1.1 of the Plan has the meaning given such term in such Section. 
 A Participant's “designated beneficiary” means the individual who is designated as the Participant's Beneficiary under Article XVII of the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Code
Section 401(a)(9) and Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations. 
 A “distribution calendar year” means a
calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant's death, the first “distribution calendar year” is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the
Participant's Required Beginning Date. For distributions beginning after the Participant's death, the first “distribution calendar year” is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 3.2 of this
Appendix. The required minimum distribution for the Participant's first “distribution calendar year” will be made on or before the Participant's Required Beginning Date. The required minimum distribution for other “distribution
calendar years”, including the required minimum distribution for the “distribution calendar year” in which the Participant's Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that “distribution
calendar year”. 
 A Participant's or Beneficiary's “life expectancy” means his life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life
Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations. 
 A “Participant's account balance” means the Account balance as of the
last Valuation Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the “distribution calendar year” (the “valuation calendar year”) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the
Account balance as of dates in the “valuation calendar year” after the Valuation Date and decreased by distributions made in the “valuation calendar year” after the Valuation Date. The Account balance for the “valuation
calendar year” includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the “valuation calendar year” or in the “distribution calendar year” if distributed or transferred in the “valuation calendar
year”. 
  

 88 








 SECTION II 
 GENERAL RULES 
  

	2.1	Effective Date 

 The provisions of this Appendix will apply for
purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year. 
  

	2.2	Precedence 

 The requirements of this Appendix will take precedence
over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. 
  

	2.3	Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated 

 All
distributions required under this Appendix will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9). 
 SECTION III 
 TIME AND MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION 
  

	3.1	Required Beginning Date 

 A Participant's entire interest will be
distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant's Required Beginning Date. 
  

	3.2	Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin 

 If a Participant
dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows: 
  

	 (a)
	 If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole “designated beneficiary”, then distributions
to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70  1/2, if later. 


  

	(b)	If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole “designated beneficiary”, then distributions to the “designated beneficiary” will begin by
December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died. 

  

 89 









	(c)	If there is no “designated beneficiary” as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest will be
distributed by December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of containing the first anniversary of the Participant's death. 

  

	(d)	If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole “designated beneficiary” and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to
the surviving spouse begin, this Section 3.2, other than Section 3.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. 

 For purposes of this Section 3.2 and Section V, unless Section 3.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's Required Beginning Date. If Section 3.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to
begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 3.2(a). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant's Required
Beginning Date (or to the Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 3.2(a)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually
commence. 
  

	3.3	Forms of Distribution 

 Unless the Participant's interest is
distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first “distribution calendar year”, distributions will be made in accordance with Sections IV
and V of this Appendix. If the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the
Treasury regulations. 
 SECTION IV 
 REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS 
 DURING PARTICIPANT'S LIFETIME 
  

	4.1	Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year 

 During the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each “distribution calendar year” is the lesser of: 
  

	(a)	the quotient obtained by dividing the “Participant's account balance” by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of
the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's age as of the Participant's birthday in the “distribution calendar year”; or 

  

 90 









	(b)	if the Participant's sole “designated beneficiary” for the “distribution calendar year” is the Participant's spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the
“Participant's account balance” by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's and spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and spouse's
birthdays in the “distribution calendar year”. 

  

	4.2	Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant's Death 

 Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section IV beginning with the first “distribution calendar year” and up to and including the “distribution calendar year” that includes
the Participant's date of death. 
 SECTION V 
 REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS 
 AFTER PARTICIPANT'S DEATH 
  

	5.1	Death On or After Date Distributions Begin 

 If a Participant dies
on or after the date distributions begin, the following rules shall apply. 
  

	(a)	If there is a “designated beneficiary”, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each “distribution calendar year” after the year of the Participant's
death is the quotient obtained by dividing the “Participant's account balance” by the longer of the remaining “life expectancy” of the Participant or the remaining “life expectancy” of the Participant's “designated
beneficiary”, determined as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	The Participant's remaining “life expectancy” is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.


  

	 	(ii)	If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole “designated beneficiary”, the remaining “life expectancy” of the surviving spouse is calculated
for each “distribution calendar year” after the year of the Participant's death using the surviving spouse's age as of the spouse's birthday in that year. For “distribution calendar years” after the year of the surviving spouse's
death, the remaining “life expectancy” of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.


  

 91 









	 	(iii)	If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole “designated beneficiary”, the “designated beneficiary's” remaining “life
expectancy” is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 

  

	(b)	If there is no “designated beneficiary” as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant's death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
“distribution calendar year” after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the “Participant's account balance” by the Participant's remaining “life expectancy” calculated using the age
of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 

  

	5.2	Death Before Date Distributions Begin 

 If the Participant dies
before the date distributions begin, the following rules shall apply: 
  

	(a)	If there is a “designated beneficiary”, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each “distribution calendar year” after the year of the Participant's
death is the quotient obtained by dividing the “Participant's account balance” by the remaining “life expectancy” of the Participant's “designated beneficiary”, determined as provided in Section 5.1 of this
Appendix. 

  

	(b)	If there is no “designated beneficiary” as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, distribution of the Participant's entire
interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the first anniversary of the Participant's death. 

  

	(c)	If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole “designated beneficiary”, and the surviving
spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 3.2(a) of this Appendix, this Section 5.2 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
