 Article 2 
 Eligibility,
Participation and Deferrals 
  

	2.0	The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine whether an Employee will be offered the opportunity to become a Participant, as well as such Employee’s Covered Salary
and required Deferrals. 

  

	2.1	To commence participation, an Employee who is offered the opportunity to participate must elect to participate by executing a Plan Agreement which, among other things, will specify
such Employee’s Covered Salary and the amount of Deferrals, and will acknowledge that the Employer’s right to retain such Deferrals is complete and irrevocable, and that in lieu thereof such Employee shall be entitled solely to the
Benefits provided under this Plan. Such election to commence participation must be delivered to the Committee by the 30th day following such Participant’s Enrollment Date. 

  

	2.2	Subsequent to a Participant’s initial election to participate, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may offer such Participant the opportunity, by executing a new Plan
Agreement, to increase such Participant’s Deferrals (and such Participant’s Covered Salary) to the amount set forth in the new Plan Agreement, which executed new Plan Agreement will be irrevocable if not revoked in writing prior to the
last day of the year in which it is delivered to the Committee. Such new Plan Agreement must be signed and delivered to the Committee prior to the date it is to take effect and, after delivery, it will take effect on the earlier of (i) such
Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, and (ii) the first day of the year following delivery to the Committee. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Separation of Employment for any reason, whether by action of Employer or Participant,
shall immediately terminate a Participant’s right to make Deferrals and earn additional Benefits. 

  

	2.3	All Deferrals shall be and remain solely the property of a Participant’s Employer, and such Participant shall have no right thereto, nor shall such Employer be obligated to use
such amounts in any specific manner. 

  

 -5- 









	2.4	If a Participant Separates Employment either (i) before becoming Qualified, except as a result of death or Disability, or (ii) as a result of being terminated for Cause,
such Participant shall cease to be a Participant effective on the date of such Separation, and on and after the date of such Separation such former Participant shall not be entitled to any Benefits, such Participant’s Deferrals shall be
forfeited and no Employer shall have any obligation hereunder to such former Participant. 

 Article 3 
 Retirement Benefit and Benefit Upon 
 Separation of Employment 
  

	3.0	If a Participant Retires on or after his or her Normal Retirement Date, the Employer will pay the following Benefits to such Participant or his or her Beneficiary:


  

	 	(a)	Such Participant’s Monthly Normal Retirement Benefit is equal to forty-five percent (45%) of such Participant’s Covered Salary in effect on such Participant’s
Normal Retirement Date. Such Participant’s Monthly Normal Retirement Benefit will be payable each month for the lifetime of the Participant commencing on the first day of the month following the date of such Participant’s Retirement,
unless a later commencement date is required by Section 8.0. If such Participant shall die before receiving one hundred and eighty (180) monthly payments, the monthly payments will continue to be paid to Participant’s Beneficiary
until a total of one hundred and eighty (180) monthly payments, including those paid to Participant, have been paid. 

  

	 	(b)	Upon Participant’s death the Employer will pay to such Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum, as a Death Benefit, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of
such Participant’s Annual Covered Salary based on his or her Covered Salary in effect on such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. 

  

	3.1	A Participant who does not Retire on or prior to such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date will cease having Deferrals deducted from his Base Earnings as of the first day of
the month following his Normal Retirement Date. 

  

	3.2	If a Participant Retires on or after his or her 55th birthday for any reason other than death or Disability, but prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date, the Employer will pay the following Benefits to such Participant or his or her Beneficiary: 

  

	 	(a)	Such Participant’s Monthly Early Retirement Benefit is equal to the product of (x) and (y), where (x) is the product of (i) forty-five percent (45%) of the
such Participant’s Covered Salary as set forth in the Plan Agreement in effect on such Participant’s Early Retirement Date, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, which shall not exceed one, the numerator of which is the number of full months
between such 

  

 -6- 








 Participant’s Participation Date and Early Retirement Date, and the denominator of which is the
number of full months between such Participant’s Participation Date and Normal Retirement Date, and where (y) is the difference of one minus the product of .004166 multiplied by the number of full months between such Participant’s
Early Retirement Date and Normal Retirement Date. Such Participant’s Monthly Early Retirement Benefit will be payable each month for the lifetime of the Participant commencing on the first day of the month following such Participant’s
Early Retirement Date. If such Participant shall die before receiving one hundred and eighty (180) monthly payments, the monthly payments will continue to be paid to Participant’s Beneficiary until a total of one hundred and eighty
(180) monthly payments, including those paid to Participant, have been paid. 
  

	 	(b)	If such Participant elects under Section 3.5 to defer the date on which Benefits will be paid beyond such Participant’s Early Retirement Date, then in calculating such
Participant’s Monthly Early Retirement Benefit under Section 3.2(a) above, everything following the second reference to “(y)” shall be deleted, and the following substituted therefore, “is the difference of one minus the
product of .004166 multiplied by the number of full months between the date on which Benefits commence to be paid and such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.” 

  

	 	(c)	Upon Participant’s death the Employer will pay to such Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum, as a Death Benefit, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of
the Participant’s Annual Covered Salary based on his or her Covered Salary as set forth in the Plan Agreement in effect on such Participant’s date of Separation, multiplied by a fraction, which shall not exceed one (1), the numerator of
which is the number of full Months between such Participant’s Participation Date and date of Separation, and the denominator of which is the number of full months between such Participant’s Participation Date and Normal Retirement Date.


  

	3.3	If a Participant Separates Employment after Qualification but before attaining such Participant’s 55th birthday for any reason other than death or Disability, the Employer shall pay the following Benefits to such Participant or his or her Beneficiary:


  

	 	(a)	Such Participant’s Monthly Separation Benefit is equal to the product of (i) forty-five percent (45%) of such Participant’s Covered Salary as set forth in the
Plan Agreement in effect on such Participant’s date of Separation of Employment, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, which shall not exceed one (1), the numerator of which is the number of full months between such Participant’s
Participation Date and date of Separation of Employment, and the denominator of which is the number of full months between such Participant’s Participation Date and Normal Retirement Date. Such Participant’s Monthly Separation Benefit will
be payable each month for the lifetime of the Participant commencing on the first day of the month following the earlier of such Participant’s death or Normal Retirement Date. If such Participant dies before the commencement of monthly
payments, or 

  

 -7- 








 before receiving one hundred and eighty (180) monthly payments, the monthly payments will be paid to
Participant’s Beneficiary until a total of one hundred and eighty (180) monthly payments, including those paid to Participant (if any), have been paid. 
  

	 	(b)	Upon Participant’s death the Employer will pay to such Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum, as a Death Benefit, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of
the Participant’s Annual Covered Salary based on his or her Covered Salary as set forth in the Plan Agreement in effect on such Participant’s date of Separation, multiplied by a fraction, which shall not exceed one (1), the numerator of
which is the number of full months between such Participant’s Participation Date and date of Separation, and the denominator of which is the number of full months between such Participant’s Participation Date and Normal Retirement Date.


  

	3.4	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Plan Agreement, a Specified Employee shall not be entitled to receive the benefits described in Section 3.0 or 3.2 until
the sixth monthly anniversary of such Specified Employee’s date of Retirement, at which time all Benefits that, but for this Section 3.4, would have been paid to such Participant, will be paid to such Participant in a single, one time,
lump sum payment; and thereafter Benefits shall be paid as provided in Section 3.0 or 3.2, as applicable. A Specified Employee is a person defined as a “specified employee” in Treasury Regulations § 1.409-1(i) as in effect at the
time of reference. 

  

	3.5	A Participant may elect to defer the date on which such Participant’s Monthly Normal Retirement Benefit or Monthly Early Retirement Benefit payments provided in
Section 3.0 or 3.2 otherwise will commence. Such election must be in writing and delivered to the Committee on or before a final date that is exactly 12 months prior to such Participant’s date of Retirement; provided that such deferral
must be to a date no earlier than the fifth anniversary of such Participant’s date of Retirement. Such election can be changed at any time prior to the final date described above by delivering a new written election to the Committee, but the
last such election delivered on or before such final date will become irrevocable on such final date. 

 Article 4

	4.0	If a Participant dies and at the time of death such Participant was an Employee (including an Employee on an authorized leave of absence) or Disabled, then the Employer will pay the
following Death Benefit to such Participant’s Beneficiary: 

  

 -8- 









	 	(a)	If at the time of death such Participant had attained his or her Normal Retirement Date, then such Participant shall be deemed to have become Qualified (if not already Qualified)
and Retired on the date of death and the Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the Benefits provided in Section 3.0. 

  

	 	(b)	If at the time of death such Participant had attained age 55 and was Qualified and was not Disabled, then the Beneficiary may select, in a written election delivered to the

 (i) Option A: Participant shall be deemed to have Retired on the

(50%) of such Participant’s Covered Salary under the Plan Agreement as in effect on such Participant’s date of death, paid each month for the longer of (x) one hundred and eight (108) months following the date of such
Participant’s death, or (y) until such Participant would have attained age 65 had such Participant survived to that date. The monthly death benefits under Option B shall commence as of the first day of the month following the month in
which the Employer receives proof of Participant’s death in accordance with Section 4.1(d), and the first payment will include any monthly payments which would have been paid if the proof of death had been received on the day after such
Participant’s death. 
  

	 	(c)	If at the time of death such Participant had not attained age 55 or was not Qualified, then the Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the Benefits provided in Option B in
Section 4.0(b).

	 	(b)	such Participant’s death was not a result of suicide within two years after the date of the initial Plan Agreement, or within two years of the date of any subsequent Plan

 -9- 









	 	(c)	such Participant’s death was determined not to be from a bodily or mental cause or causes, the information about which was withheld, or knowingly concealed, or falsely provided
by such Participant when requested by Employer to furnish evidence of good health upon such Participant’s enrolling in the Plan or for any increments of such Participant’s Covered Salary, but the amount of the Death Benefit which Employer
shall not be obligated to pay shall be limited to Benefits granted within two years prior to the date of such last increment of Covered Salary; and 

  

	 	(d)	proof of death in such form as determined acceptable by the Committee is furnished. 

 Article 5 
 Disability 
  

	5.0	A Participant who, prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date, is Disabled and remains continuously Disabled for more than six (6) months shall remain a Participant in the Plan

	 	(b)	such Participant’s Plan Agreement is in force and effect at the time of such Disability, and 

  

	 	(c)	such Participant’s Deferrals as set forth in Article 2 are continued during the first six (6) months of the Disability. 

 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant Separates Employment but does not satisfy the conditions set forth in this
Section 5.0, then such Participant will not be considered Disabled for purposes of this Plan, and shall instead be deemed to have Separated Employment for reasons other than Disability, and such Participant’s Benefits (if any) shall be
determined on that basis. 
  

	5.1	If a Participant who is considered Disabled under Section 5.0 continues to be continuously Disabled after six (6) months, such Participant’s Deferrals as set forth in
Article 2 will thereafter be waived during the period of such Participant’s continuous Disability, but for all purposes under this Plan such waived Deferrals will be deemed to have been made. 

  

 -10- 









	5.2	If a Participant becomes Disabled after reaching age 65, or while remaining continuously Disabled attains age sixty-five (65), such Participant will be deemed to be Qualified and to
have Retired on such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. 

  

	5.3	If a Participant dies while continuously Disabled and prior to age 65, for all purposes of the Plan he or she will be considered to have Qualified, and such deceased
Participant’s Beneficiary will be entitled to the Death Benefits described in Section 4.0(d). 

  

	5.4	If a Participant recovers from a Disability and does not return to employment with an Employer within 30 days of such recovery, then such Participant will be deemed to have

	 	(c)	doing any other act which may be requested by the Committee.

	7.4	Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Plan or any Plan Agreement, if Employer makes application for life insurance on Participant’s life and Participant cannot provide
evidence of good health at standard rates or for the amounts contemplated in connection with an offer of initial enrollment in the Plan or any subsequent increase in Covered Salary and Deferral, Employer may, at its sole discretion, (i) permit
the Participant to participate herein for such Benefits and upon such Deferral as Employer may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate, or (ii) if in connection with Participant’s initial enrollment in the Plan, withdraw the offer to
participate or terminate Participant’s initial Plan Agreement, or (iii) if in connection with an increase in Participant’s Covered Salary and Deferral, withdraw the offer of such increase or terminate any new Plan Agreement providing

	7.5	If the Participant does not cooperate in complying with any requirements under Section 7.3, Employer shall have no further obligation to Participant under the Plan except as to
any Benefits previously earned.

	8.0	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, if a Change in Control occurs, and: 

  

	 	(a)	during the one (1) year period ending on the anniversary of the date of the Change in Control, a Participant gives his or her Employer thirty (30) days prior written
notice of such Participant’s decision to Separate Employment at the expiration of said thirty (30) day notice period; or 

  

	 	(b)	during the two (2) year period ending on the second anniversary of the date of the Change in Control,

Participant’s Monthly Separation Benefit, such Participant will be credited with an additional 60 full months in computing the numerator of the fraction described in Section 3.3(a)(ii); and (C) if such Participant is age 55 or older
on the date of such Termination Event, then such Participant will receive the Benefits provided under Section 3.0 (and in determining the amount of such Benefits, the date of such Termination Event will be deemed to be such Participant’s
Normal Retirement Date and date of Retirement). If such Termination Event results from a Separation of Employment, a Participant whose Benefits are calculated pursuant to clause (B) will begin to receive payments as provided in
Section 3.3, and a Participant whose Benefits are calculated pursuant to clause (C) will begin to receive payments on the first day of the 
  

 -13- 








 month after the date of such Termination Event. If such Termination Event results from the termination of
the Plan or such Participant’s Plan Agreement, (i) if the Termination Event is a Complete Termination of the Plan (as defined in Section 10.3), such Benefits shall be paid to such Participant in a lump sum cash payment (determined as
provided in Section 10.2) on the first anniversary of the date of such Termination Event, and (ii) if the Termination Event is not a Complete Termination, payment of such Benefits shall commence as provided under the terms of the Plan as
in effect on the date of the Termination Event and based on such Participant’s actual date of Separation of Employment, except that any payments which would have been made to such Participant during the period commencing on the date of such
Termination Event and ending on the date on which payments are commenced, if such Termination Event had resulted from a Separation of Employment, shall be paid to such Participant in a lump sum, in addition to the first payment otherwise payable to
such Participant, on the date on which the first payment is made to such Participant. 
 Article 9 
 Termination of Participation 
  

	9.0	A Participant may elect to cease such Participant’s Deferrals by giving the Committee written notice thereof prior to the year in which such cessation first will take effect.


  

	9.1	In the case of a Participant who elects to cease Deferrals, and who thereafter Separates from Employment after becoming Qualified but prior to age 55, in computing such
Participant’s Benefits under Section 3.3, the fraction under Section 3.3(a)(ii) will be determined by substituting the date of such Participant’s cessation of Deferrals for the such Participant’s “date of Separation of
Employment”; and in the case of a Participant who elects to cease Deferrals, and who thereafter Separates from Employment after the later of the date he becomes Qualified and the date he attains age 55, will receive his Benefits determined
under Section 3.2 (even if his date of Separation is after his Normal Retirement Date); and in computing such Participant’s Benefits under Section 3.2, the fraction determined under 3.2(a)(x) will be determined by substituting the
date of such Participant’s cessation of Deferrals for such Participant’s “Early Retirement Date”. 

  

	9.2	A Qualified Participant who Separates Employment, and who is later reemployed by an Employer may be offered the opportunity by the Committee to again become a Participant. Such
offer shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine, in addition to such Participant’s Covered Salary and required Deferrals, how such Participant’s Benefits will be
calculated taking into account such Participant’s vested Benefits; provided, however, in no event shall the total Benefits payable to such Participant, including any such vested Benefits, exceed the Benefits that would have been payable to such
Participant had there been no break in his or her employment.

 Article 10 
 Termination, Amendment, Modification or Supplement of Plan 
  

	10.0	Subject to the provisions of Article 8: 

  

	 	(a)	Each Employer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate its participation in this Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Employer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to totally or partially amend, modify or supplement this Plan or any one or more Plan Agreements with respect to its
Participants. 

  

	 	(c)	Each Employer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Plan Agreement(s) of one or more of its Participant(s). 

  

	 	(d)	Without limitation, the Committee has the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate, amend, modify or supplement the Plan or any one or more Plan Agreements.


  

	10.1	Each termination, amendment or modification of or supplement to the Plan or termination of any Plan Agreement shall be evidenced by a writing signed by the party taking the action,
and no such action shall be effective except upon delivery of written notice of such action to each affected Participant (for purposes of this Article 10, an “Affected Participant”) not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of such action. The effective date of any such termination shall, for all purposes of this Article 10, be referred to as the “Termination Date”. 

  

	10.2	Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date, each Affected Participant who thereafter Separates from Employment prior to age 55 shall be paid Benefits as provided in Section 3.3,
but in computing such Benefits, the fraction under Section 3.3(a)(ii) will be determined by substituting the Termination Date for the such Participant’s “date of Separation of Employment”; and each Affected Participant who
thereafter Separates from Employment after the date he attains age 55, shall be paid Benefits as provided in Section 3.2 (even if his date of Separation is after his Normal Retirement Date), and in computing such Benefits, the fraction
determined under 3.2(a)(x) will be determined by substituting the Termination Date for such Participant’s “Early Retirement Date”. The occurrence of a Termination Date will not affect the Benefits payable to Affected Participants who
have Retired or otherwise Separated Employment before such date. Notwithstanding the forgoing, upon the occurrence of a Termination Date, if such Termination Date results from the 

  

 -15- 








 Complete Termination of the Plan (as described in Section 10.3) with respect to an Employer, such
Employer shall have the right, at any time prior to the first anniversary of such Termination Date, (i) to determine, with respect to each Affected Participant, the lump sum present value of the Benefits otherwise payable to such Affected
Participant under the terms of this Section (for purposes of this Article 10, “Lump Sum Benefits”), and (ii) to pay such Lump Sum Benefits to such Affected Participant, in lieu of the Benefits which otherwise would be paid under the
terms of this Section, on the first day of the month following the first anniversary of such Termination Date; provided, further, that in determining the Lump Sum Benefits of each such Affected Participant, the Committee will base its calculations
on (x) the date on which the Lump Sum Payment will be made, and (y) the “applicable mortality table”, and the “applicable interest rate” (on the last day of the month preceding the first anniversary of the Termination
Date), as such terms are defined in Section 417(e)(3)(A) of the Code and applicable regulations. 
  

	10.3	The Company or any Employer may completely terminate the Plan (a “Complete Termination”), and make payment of the Benefits determined under Section 10.2, if
(i) the Company or Employer terminates all deferred compensation arrangements sponsored by the Company or Employer which would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A of the Code (and regulations), (ii) if payments not
otherwise payable under the terms of the Plan are not paid until the first anniversary of the date of the Complete Termination, (iii) if all payments from the Plan are made within 24 months following the date of the Complete Termination, and
(iv) if the Company or Employer does not adopt another arrangement which would be required to be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A of the Code (and regulations) for a period of 5 years from the date of the Complete Termination.
If a termination of the Plan by the Company or any Employer constitutes a Complete Termination, then the Company or such Employer will take no action in violation of any laws or regulations applicable to such Complete Termination.


  

	10.4	Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Committee reasonably determines that a date of payment, or a form of payment, to a Participant in accordance with
the terms of the Plan would violate a good faith interpretation of the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee will advise such Participant in writing of its determination and will take such actions as the Committee, in its sole
discretion, reasonably determines will comply with Section 409A while having the least adverse economic impact on such Participant; provided that such Participant shall be entitled to file a written directive to the Committee to follow the
terms of the Plan and, if such directive is accompanied by (i) a written opinion of counsel for such Participant that following the terms of the Plan is a reasonable good faith compliance with Section 409A, and (ii) Participant’s
written acknowledgement that such Participant may be subject to the excise tax and penalties imposed by Section 409A, and (iii) Participant’s written agreement that such Participant shall not hold the Employer responsible if such
Participant is required to pay excise taxes and/or interest penalties as a result of the Committee’s making payment of Benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan, then the Committee will follow the terms of the Plan. Without limiting the
generality of the forgoing, in no event will an Employer guarantee that a Participant will not be required to 

  

 -16- 








 pay excise taxes and/or interest penalties, nor shall an Employer be deemed responsible for any excise
taxes and/or interest penalties which are paid by a Participant and, by accepting Benefits, each such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to be solely responsible for such excise taxes and/or interest penalties. 
 Article 11 
 Other Benefits and
Agreements 
  

	11.1	A Participant who (i) was a participant in an Executive Financial Security Plan (or a plan with any similar name) of an Employer on December 31, 2004 (a “Prior
Plan”), and (ii) was Qualified under such Prior Plan on December 31, 2004, is referred to as a Prior Plan Participant. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, to prevent duplication of benefit payments under this Plan and
the Prior Plan, in determining Benefits payable to a Prior Plan Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) under this Plan the Committee, in its discretion, will (i) determine the amount of benefits provided under the Prior Plan, (ii) adjust
or coordinate the amount of Benefits provided under this Plan, and (iii) reflect such amounts in such Prior Plan Participant’s Plan Agreement; and such adjusted or coordinated amounts shown on such Plan Agreement will determine a Prior
Plan Participant’s Benefits under this Plan for all purposes. In addition, the Committee is authorized to take any other actions it reasonably determines to be required to insure that there is no duplication under this Plan of the benefits
payable under the Prior Plan. A Participant who was a participant in, but was not Qualified under, a Prior Plan on December 31, 2004, is not a Prior Plan Participant, is not entitled to any benefits under such Prior Plan, and will receive all
of such Participant’s Benefits (if any) under this Plan. 

  

	11.2	The Benefits provided to a Participant and Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan (reduced as provided in Section 11.1, if applicable) are in addition to any other
benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of Employer, and the Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided.
Benefits under the Plan shall not be considered compensation for the purpose of computing contributions or benefits under any plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is qualified under Section 401(a) and 501(a), of the
Code. 

 Article 12 
 Restrictions on Alienation of Benefits 
 No right or Benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation,
sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or Benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts,
contract, liabilities, or torts of the person entitled to such Benefit.

 Article 13 
 Administration of the Plan 
  

	13.0	The general administration of this Plan, as well as construction and interpretation thereof, shall be vested in the Committee, the number and members of which shall be designated

shall determine and may authorize one or more members of the Committee or any agent to execute or deliver any instrument or make any payment on behalf of the Committee. 

  

	13.2	All resolutions or other actions taken by the Committee shall be by the vote of a majority of those present at a meeting at which a majority of the members are present, or in

	13.3	Except as expressly limited by the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have full authority from time to time to establish, modify and rescind rules, forms and procedures for the
administration of the Plan, to interpret the Plan, to determine each Employee who shall participate in the Plan and to determine the terms and provisions of each Plan Agreement and the form of each Plan Agreement and to decide any and all matters
arising there under or in connection with the administration of the Plan. All decisions, actions and records of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon Employer, the Participants and all persons having or claiming to have any right or
interest in or under the Plan. 

  

	13.4	The members of the Committee and the officers and directors of the Company shall be entitled to rely on all certificates and reports made by any duly appointed accountants and on
all opinions given by any duly appointed legal counsel. Such legal counsel may be counsel for the Company. 

  

 -18- 









	13.5	No member of the Committee shall be liable for any act or omission of any other member of the Committee, nor for any act or omission on his or her own part, excepting only his or
her own willful misconduct. The Company shall indemnify and save harmless each member of the Committee against any and all expenses and liabilities arising out of his or her membership on the Committee, excepting only expenses and liabilities
arising out of his or her own willful misconduct. Expenses against which a member of the Committee shall be indemnified hereunder shall include, without limitation, the amount of any settlement or judgment, costs, counsel fees and related charges
reasonably incurred in connection with a claim asserted or a proceeding brought or settlement thereof. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which any such member may be entitled as a matter of law or
otherwise. 

  

	13.6	In addition to the powers hereinabove specified, the Committee shall have the power to compute and certify under the Plan the amount and kind of Benefits from time to time payable
to Participants and their Beneficiaries and to authorize all disbursements for such purposes. 

  

	13.7	To enable the Committee to perform its functions, the Company and Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Committee on all matters relating to the compensation of

 Non-Compete

(2) years after the date of such Separation, directly or indirectly, carry on or conduct, in competition with Employer, any business of the nature in which Employer is then engaged, and of the nature in which Participant was employed by
Employer for any portion of the period of two years immediately prior to such Separation, in any geographic area or territory in which Employer is then engaged in such business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Participant agrees
that the solicitation or acceptance of orders outside any such geographic area or territory for shipment or delivery into any such geographic area or territory shall constitute conducting or engaging in business in such geographic area or territory
within the meaning of this Article 14. Participant agrees that he or she will not so conduct or engage in any business, either as an individual on his or her own account or as a partner or joint venturer or as an employee, agent, consultant or
salesman for any other person or entity, or as an officer or director of a corporation or as a stockholder in a corporation of which Participant or Participant’s spouse or their descendants, parents or siblings shall then own in the aggregate
ten percent (10%) or more of any class of stock. Participant agrees that, in the event of a breach of the terms and conditions of this Article 14 by Participant, Employer shall be entitled, if it so elects, to institute

enjoin Participant from performing services for any competitor of Employer in violation hereof, or to suspend or terminate any and all Benefits which would otherwise be payable to Participant and his or her Beneficiaries under the provisions of the
Plan. The provisions of this Article 14 shall supersede any and all non-compete provisions contained in any and all other agreements which may have been entered into between Participant and Employer. The provisions of this Article 14 shall survive
the termination of this Plan.

deducted from my compensation until revoked by a written election to cease deducting such Deferral Amount that is delivered to the Committee, and that such election cannot take effect prior to the year following the year in which it is delivered to
the Committee. 
  

	6.	General: 

 I acknowledge and agree to the following:

  

	 	(a)	I have received a copy of the Plan and have reviewed and am familiar with the provisions of the Plan. I elect to be a Participant according to the Plan, and agree that all of its
terms, provisions and conditions are binding upon me, and my Beneficiary. I agree that the Employer’s right to retain all Deferrals is complete and irrevocable, and that in lieu thereof I am entitled solely to the Benefits provided under the
Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Any rights I or my Beneficiary has under the Plan shall be solely those of an unsecured creditor of Employer. If Employer shall purchase an insurance policy on me, or any other
asset, in connection with the Plan or any liability of the Employer under the Plan, such policy or other assets shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of me or my Beneficiary or to be collateral security for the performance
of the obligations of Employer, but shall be, and remain, a general, unpledged, unrestricted asset of Employer. 

  

	 	(c)	The Company, Employer, and their officers, employees and agents have no responsibility whatsoever for any changes made by me in other personal plans or programs as a result of my
decision to participate or not to participate in the Plan, and they are fully released to such extent. I further understand that the Plan or this Plan Agreement may be terminated at any time, in the sole discretion of Employer, in accordance with
the provisions and limitations of Article 10 of the Plan. 

  

 I-4 









	 	(d)	If my employment terminates, or this Plan Agreement is terminated, prior to becoming Qualified, I will forfeit the right to receive any Benefits under the Plan, and shall have no
right to a return of any Deferrals previously deducted from my compensation, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. 

  

	 	(e)	This Plan Agreement supercedes all of my prior Plan Agreements in their entirety. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Employer and Employee have executed this Plan Agreement as of

 ADDENDUM TO PLAN AGREEMENT

 2005 EXECUTIVE FINANCIAL SECURITY PLAN 
 (Annuity Formula) 
 OF 

TEXAS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES 
 This Addendum to Plan Agreement amends and modifies the Plan and the Plan Agreement of the undersigned Employee, who is a Participant in the Plan. 
  

	1.	I acknowledge and agree to the following: 

 (i) I am a
Prior Plan Participant (as defined in Section 11.1 of the Plan), (ii) benefits ceased to accrue under the Prior Plan after December 31, 2004, (iii) I received the [name of document] setting forth my accrued benefits under
the Prior Plan as of December 31, 2004, (iv) the accrued benefits set forth therein are accurate, and (v) the Committee may make additional adjustments to the Benefits provided under this Plan as authorized by Section 11.1 of the
Plan. 
  

	2.	Adjustments to Benefits payable under this Plan: 

  

	(a)	If Benefit payments under Sections 3.0, 3.3 or 4.0 of this Plan are made concurrently with accrued benefit payments under Sections 3.0, 3.5 or 4.0 of the Prior Plan, payments under
this Plan will be reduced by the payments under the Prior Plan so that the total of both payments does not exceed the Benefit payment otherwise due under this Plan. 

  

	(b)	Benefit payments under Section 3.2 of this Plan commencing before or concurrently with accrued benefit payments under Section 3.2 or 3.5 of the Prior Plan, will be reduced
to the benefit accrued under this Plan since January 1, 2005, which will be equal to the product of (i) the benefit payment otherwise due under this Plan multiplied by (ii) a fraction, which shall not exceed one (1), the numerator of
which is the number of full months between January 1, 2005 and such Participant’s date of Separation of Employment, and the denominator of which is the number of full months between such Participant’s Participation Date and date of
Separation of Employment. Accrued benefit payments under the Prior Plan will commence at the time provided in the Prior Plan. 

  

	(c)	If benefit payments become payable under Article 8 of this Plan, then the payments under this Plan will be reduced by any payments concurrently made under the Prior Plan.


 [Include the following if the Participant’s Prior Agreement provides for normal retirement at age 60: 
  

	3.	Adjustment of Normal Retirement Date: 

  

	(a)	The term “Normal Retirement Date” shall mean Participant’s 60th birthday for all purposes other than in Sections 2.2 and 3.1 of the Plan, where it shall continue to mean Participant’s 65th birthday. 

  

	(b)	All occurrences of “age 65” in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Plan and Section 4 of the Plan Agreement shall be replaced by “age 60”.]
