commencing on his Normal Retirement Date; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the monthly benefit (expressed as a single life annuity, but not including any
temporary supplements) payable to the Participant under the terms of the Qualified
Retirement Plan commencing on his Normal Retirement Date), assuming:






	 	(A)	 	for purposes of determining whether the Participant had a
vested benefit under the Qualified Retirement Plan and when the Participant
could elect commencement of his benefit under the Qualified Retirement Plan
(but not for purposes of determining the amount thereof), that the Participant
had sufficient service under the Qualified Retirement Plan to have a vested
benefit under the Qualified Retirement Plan and a right to commence receiving
such benefit at his Normal Retirement Date, and
	 
	 	(B)	 	that the Participant elected commencement of such benefit as of
such date; and






	 	(iii)	 	the monthly benefit (expressed as a single life annuity) payable to the
Participant under the terms of the Pension Restoration SERP commencing as of his Normal
Retirement Date; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the monthly benefit derived from the Company matching contribution under the
terms of the 401(k) Restoration SERP, assuming the Participant receives the full match
available in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of Annual Compensation (as such term
is defined in the 401(k) Restoration SERP) in excess of the IRC §401(a)(17) limit,
accumulated to his Normal Retirement Date with interest at a fixed rate of eight
percent (8%) and converted to a single life annuity using the mortality table
prescribed in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 and an interest rate of seven percent (7%).






The monthly benefit computed under this Section (b) shall be actuarially reduced using the
assumptions identified in Article III(a)(2) for each full month by which the date of
commencement precedes the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.



ARTICLE VIII




DISABILITY BENEFIT





	(a)	 	Qualification for Benefit. Subject to the provisions of Article IV, if a Participant
incurs a Termination of Employment after completing 15 years of Company Service but before he
reaches




10









 






	 	 	his Early Retirement Age by reason of his Total Disability, such Participant shall be
eligible to receive a Disability Benefit commencing at the time set forth in Article XI.






	(b)	 	Computation of Amount of Disability Benefit. A Participant who is eligible for a
Disability Benefit shall be entitled to receive a Disability Benefit equal to 50% of the
Participant’s Final Average Monthly Compensation multiplied by his Service Fraction, reduced
by the sum of:






	 	(i)	 	50% of the monthly Social Security Benefit that would be payable to the
Participant on account of his Total Disability if he were determined to be entitled to
receive a Social Security Benefit as a result of his Total Disability (whether or not
the Participant in fact qualifies for such Social Security Benefit); and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the monthly benefit (expressed as a single life annuity, but not including any
temporary supplements) that would be payable to the Participant under the terms of the
Qualified Retirement Plan on account of his Total Disability if he were determined to
be entitled to receive a monthly disability benefit under the Qualified Retirement Plan
as a result of his Total Disability (whether or not the Participant in fact qualifies
for such monthly disability benefit), assuming, for purposes of determining the
Participant’s eligibility for a disability pension under the Qualified Retirement Plan
(but not for purposes of determining the amount thereof), that the Participant had
sufficient service under the Qualified Retirement Plan to be eligible for a disability
pension thereunder; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the monthly benefit (expressed as a single life annuity) payable to the
Participant under the terms of the Pension Restoration SERP commencing on the first day
of the month coincident with or following his Termination of Employment due to Total
Disability; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the monthly benefit derived from the Company matching contribution under the
terms of the 401(k) Restoration SERP, assuming the Participant receives the full match
available in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of Annual Compensation (as such term
is defined in the 401(k) Restoration SERP) in excess of the IRC §401(a)(17) limit,
accumulated to the first day of the month coincident with or following his Termination
of Employment due to Total Disability with interest at a fixed rate of eight percent
(8%) and converted to a single life annuity using the mortality table prescribed in
Revenue Ruling 2001-62 and an interest rate of seven percent (7%).





ARTICLE IX




BENEFIT UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL





	(a)	 	Qualification for Benefit. A Participant who (1) has a Termination of Employment
with the Employer within 24 months following a Change in Control and (2) is not at the time of
such




11









 






	 	 	Termination of Employment eligible for a Normal Retirement Benefit, an Early Retirement
Benefit, a Vested Benefit or a Disability Benefit, shall be eligible for a Change in Control
Benefit commencing at the time set forth in Article XI.






	(b)	 	Change in Control shall mean that:






	 	(i)	 	The Company is merged or consolidated or reorganized into or with another
corporation or other legal person, and as a result of such merger, consolidation or
reorganization less than a majority of the combined voting power of the securities of
such corporation or person that are outstanding immediately following the consummation
of such transaction is held in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company immediately prior to such transaction.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The Company sells or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets
to any other corporation or other legal person, and as a result of such sale or
transfer less than a majority of the combined voting power of the securities of such
corporation or person that are outstanding immediately following the consummation of
such sale or transfer is held in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company immediately prior to such sale or transfer.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	There is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or any successor
schedule, form or report) thereto, each as promulgated pursuant to the Securities and
Exchange of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), disclosing that any person (as the
term “person” is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) has
become the beneficial owner (as the term “beneficial owner” is defined under Rule 13d-3
or any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities
representing 20 percent or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company (the
“Voting Stock”);
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The Company files a report or proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act disclosing in response to Form 8-K or Schedule
14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) that a change in
control of the Company has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future
pursuant to any then-existing contract or transaction; or
	 
	 	(v)	 	If during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning
of any such period constitute the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the members thereof, unless the election or the nomination for election by
the Company’s stockholders, of each member of the Board first elected during such
period was approved




12









 






	 	 	 	by a vote of at least two-thirds of the member of the Board then still in office who
were members of the Board at the beginning of any such period.






Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of subsection (iii) or (iv) hereof, a “Change in
Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Plan, either (1) solely
because the Company, a Subsidiary, or any Company-sponsored employee stock ownership plan or
other employee benefit plan of the Company, files or becomes obligated to file a report or a
proxy statement under or in response to Schedule 13D, Schedule 14D-1, Form 8-K or Schedule
14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) under the Exchange Act,
disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of Voting Stock, whether in excess of 20
percent or otherwise, or because the Company reports that a change in control of the Company
has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future by reason of such beneficiary
ownership or (2) solely because of a change in control of any Subsidiary by which any
Participant may be employed. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of subsections (i-iv)
hereof, if, prior to any event described in subsections (i-iv) hereof that may be instituted
by any person who is not an officer or director of the Company, or prior to any disclosed
proposal that may be instituted by any person who is not an officer or director of the
Company that could lead to any such event, management proposes any structuring of the
Company that ultimately leads to an event described in subsections (i-iv) hereof pursuant to
such management proposal, than a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred
for purposes of the Plan.




	(c)	 	Computation of Amount of Change in Control Benefit. A Participant who is eligible for
a Change in Control Benefit shall be entitled to receive a monthly Change in Control Benefit
equal to 50% of the Participant’s Final Average Monthly Compensation multiplied by his Service
Fraction, reduced by the sum of:






	 	(i)	 	50% of the monthly Social Security Benefit payable to the Participant
commencing on his Normal Retirement Date; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the monthly benefit (expressed as a single life annuity not including any
temporary supplements) payable to the Participant under the terms of the Qualified
Retirement Plan commencing on his Normal Retirement Date assuming:






	 	(A)	 	for purposes of determining whether the Participant had a
vested benefit under the Qualified Retirement Plan and when the Participant
could elect commencement of his benefit under the Qualified Retirement Plan
(but not for purposes of determining the amount thereof), that the Participant
had sufficient service under the Qualified Retirement Plan to have a vested
benefit under the




13









 






	 	 	 	Qualified Retirement Plan and a right to commence receiving such benefit at
his Normal Retirement Date, and






	 	(B)	 	that the Participant elected commencement of such benefit as of
such date; and






	 	(iii)	 	the monthly benefit (expressed as a single life annuity) payable to the
Participant under the terms of the Pension Restoration SERP commencing on his Normal
Retirement Date; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the monthly benefit derived from the Company matching contribution under the
terms of the 401(k) Restoration SERP, assuming the Participant receives the full match
available in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of Annual Compensation (as such term
is defined in the 401(k) Restoration SERP) in excess of the IRC §401(a)(17) limit,
commencing on his Normal Retirement Date with interest at a fixed rate of eight percent
(8%) and converted to a single life annuity using the mortality table prescribed in
Revenue Ruling 2001-62 and an interest rate of seven percent (7%).






The monthly benefit computed under the preceding sentence shall be actuarially reduced using
the assumptions identified in Article III(A)(2) for each full month by which the date of
commencement precedes the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.



ARTICLE X




DEATH BENEFIT





	(a)	 	Pre-Retirement.






	 	(i)	 	Qualification for Benefit. Subject to the provisions of Article IV, if
a Participant dies with ten (10) years of Company Service but before commencing to
receive payment of a Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefit, the surviving Spouse of
such deceased Participant shall be eligible for a Pre-Retirement Death benefit
commencing at the time set forth in Article XI.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Computation of Amount of Pre-Retirement Death Benefit. The amount of
the Pre-Retirement Death Benefit shall be equal to 50% of the reduced monthly amount
which would have been payable to the Participant. The reduced monthly amount which
would have been payable to the Participant is: the 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity to
which a Participant would have been entitled if he had a Separation from Service on the
date of his death; survived to the commencement date set forth in Article XI; and
retired on such date with a 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity. The monthly benefit
specified herein shall be actuarially reduced using the assumptions specified in
Article III for each full month by which the date of commencement precedes the
Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.




14









 












	 	(iii)	 	Form and Duration of Payment. The Pre-Retirement Death Benefit shall
be a monthly benefit payable from the date of commencement set forth in Article XI
until the first day of the month that includes the date of the death of the surviving
Spouse.






	(b)	 	Post-Retirement Death Benefit.






	 	(i)	 	Qualification for Benefit. The surviving Spouse of a deceased
Participant who has died while receiving Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits
(including Disability Benefits) under the Plan and whose optional form of payment
elected at retirement provides for a survivor benefit shall be eligible for the
Post-Retirement Death Benefit described in paragraph (ii) of this Section.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Computation of Amount of Annual Benefit. The Post-Retirement Death
Benefit shall be a monthly benefit in an amount equal to either:






	 	(A)	 	100%, or
	 
	 	(B)	 	50%






(as elected by the Participant) of the reduced Supplemental Executive Retirement
Benefit the deceased Participant was receiving at the time of his death.



ARTICLE XI




OPTIONAL FORMS AND TIMING OF BENEFITS





	(a)	 	Optional forms of Benefits. A Participant may elect to receive his Supplemental
Executive Retirement Benefits in any of the following optional forms of payment:






	 	(i)	 	a single life annuity;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	a 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity (available only if married); or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity (available only if married).






Such election shall be made within 30 days after the date the Participant first becomes
eligible to participate in the Plan. If the Participant fails to make an election under
this Article, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected a single life annuity form of
payment.




	(b)	 	Timing of Benefit Payments. Plan Benefits shall commence at the following times for
each of the identified Plan Benefits:






	 	(i)	 	Normal Retirement Benefits under Article V shall commence as of the
later of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or the first of the month coincident
with or next following his actual Separation from Service; provided, however, if such
Participant is a Specified Employee, payment shall commence on the first day of the
month which follows the expiration of a period of six months from the Participant’s
Separation from




15









 






	 	 	 	Service. Benefits payable during such six-month period shall be accumulated and
paid at the time of commencement of payments.






	 	(ii)	 	Early Retirement Benefits under Article VI shall commence on the first
day of the month following the later of the Participant’s attaining his Early
Retirement Age or his actual Separation from Service; provided, however, if such
Participant is a Specified Employee, payment shall commence on the first day of the
month which follows the expiration of a period of six months from the Participant’s
Separation from Service. Benefits payable during such six-month period shall be
accumulated and paid at the time of commencement of payments.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Vested Benefits under Article VII shall commence on the first day of
the month following the later of the month in which the Participant attains Early
Retirement Age or Participant’s actual Separation from Service; provided, however, if
such Participant is a Specified Employee, payment shall not commence prior to the first
day of the month which follows the expiration of a period of six months from the date
of Participant’s Separation from Service. Benefits payable during such six-month
period shall be accumulated and paid at the time of commencement of payments.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Disability Benefits under Article VIII shall commence on an unreduced
actuarial basis, on the first day of the month following the month of Participant’s
Separation from Service by reason of Total Disability. Payments shall continue until
the earlier of the first day of the month for which the Participant is determined to no
longer have a Total Disability or the first day of the month in which the Participant
dies (unless a survivor annuity option has been selected, in which case payments shall
continue to the Participant’s Surviving Spouse). The Committee may, in its discretion,
take such steps as it deems necessary to determine the continued existence of a
Participant’s Total Disability and may cease the Disability Benefit payable hereunder
if it is established to the Committee’s satisfaction (as determined under the same
standards recognized at the time Participant was determined as suffering a Total
Disability) that such Total Disability no longer exists or Social Security Disability
Benefits are no longer being paid. If a Participant’s Disability Benefit ceases
because the Participant has recovered from the Total Disability, the Participant may be
eligible for a benefit under the other provisions of the Plan.
	 
	 	(v)	 	Change in Control Benefits under Article IX shall commence on the first
day of the month following the later of the month in which the Participant attains
Early Retirement Age or Participant’s Separation from Service; provided, however, if
such Participant is a




16









 






	 	 	 	Specified Employee, payment shall not commence prior to the first day of the month
which follows the expiration of a period of six months from the Participant’s
Separation from Service. Benefits payable during such six-month period shall be
accumulated and paid at the time of commencement of payments.






	 	(vi)	 	Death Benefits under Article X shall be paid as follows:






	 	(A)	 	Pre-Retirement Death Benefits shall commence the later
of the date the Participant attains Early Retirement Age or his date of death.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Post-Retirement Death Benefits shall commence as of the
first day of the month immediately following the date of the Participant’s
death, and shall continue to be paid as of the first day of each month
thereafter until the first day of the month that includes the date of the death
of the surviving Spouse.






	 	(vii)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Plan Benefit payable hereunder will be
treated as made as stated herein if the payment is made at such time or a later date
within the same calendar year or, if later, by the 15th day of the third
calendar month following such date.
	 
	 	(viii)	 	Transitional Elections. During 2008, Participants were permitted to make new
elections regarding the form of payment of their Supplemental Executive Retirement
Benefit, subject to the following rules:






	 	(A)	 	such elections were required to be made no later than
December 31, 2008,
	 
	 	(B)	 	such elections could not change a payment that would otherwise
have become payable in 2008 or cause payments to be made in 2008 that would
otherwise be paid at a later date, and
	 
	 	(C)	 	such elections were made pursuant to such administrative rules
as the Committee prescribed.






Any Participant who failed to make a new payment election in 2008 was deemed to have
elected to have his Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits paid pursuant to his
election(s) on file with the Committee prior to the transitional election described
in this Section.




	 	(ix)	 	Withholding of Taxes. The benefits payable under the Plan shall be
subject to the deduction of any federal, state or local income taxes, Federal Insurance
Contributions Act (FICA), FUTA or other taxes that are required to be withheld from
such payments by applicable laws and regulations.
	 
	 	(x)	 	Acceleration of Payments. Notwithstanding this Article XI, each
Participant’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefit shall be paid to him upon
termination of the Plan to the extent provided in Article XIV.




17









 






	 	(xi)	 	Delay of Payment. Notwithstanding this Article XI, the Company may
delay the payment of all or any portion of the Participant’s Supplemental Executive
Retirement Benefit as follows:






	 	(A)	 	The Committee reasonably anticipates that if the Supplemental
Executive Retirement Benefits were made as scheduled, the Company’s deduction
with respect to such payments would not be permitted under Section 162(m) of
the Code; provided such payments are then made during the Participant’s first
taxable year in which the Committee reasonably anticipates that the Company’s
deduction would not be barred by application of Section 162(m) of the Code.
	 
	 	(B)	 	The Committee reasonably anticipates that making scheduled
payments would violate Federal Securities laws or applicable laws; provided
such payments are then made at the earliest date at which the Committee
reasonably contemplates that making the scheduled payments will not cause such
a violation.





ARTICLE XII




PLAN ADMINISTRATION AND CLAIMS





	(a)	 	Administration by Committee. The Committee shall be charged with the administration
of the Plan.
	 
	(b)	 	Powers of the Committee. The Committee shall have all such powers as may be
necessary to discharge its duties relative to the administration of the Plan, including, by

time deem advisable.
	 
	(c)	 	Committee Actions. The Committee shall not be liable to any person for any action
taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of the Plan unless
attributable to willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Committee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and reports furnished by
any actuary, accountant, controller, counsel or other person employed or engaged by the
Company with respect to the Plan. Participants who are members of the Committee shall not
participate in any action or determination regarding solely their own benefits payable
hereunder. All decisions of the Committee shall be by majority of the votes cast and, except
as provided in Section (d) of this




18









 






	 	 	Article XII, decisions of the Committee made in good faith shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties.






	(d)	 	Claims and Review Procedure. The Committee shall be responsible for the claims
procedure under the Plan. An application for benefits under the Plan shall be considered a
claim for purposes of this Section (d). Until modified by the Committee, the claims and
review procedure set forth in this Section shall be the mandatory claims and review procedure
for the resolution of disputes and disposition of claims filed under the Plan.






	 	(i)	 	Initial Claim. An individual may, subject to any applicable deadline,
file with the Committee a written claim for benefits under the Plan in a form and
manner prescribed by the Committee.






	 	(A)	 	If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Committee shall
notify the claimant of the adverse benefit determination within 90 days after
the receipt of the claim.
	 
	 	(B)	 	The 90-day period for making the claim determination may be
extended for 90 days if the Committee determines that special circumstances
require an extension of time for determination of the claim, provided that the
Committee notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 90-day
period, of the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by
which a claim determination is expected to be made.






	 	(ii)	 	Notice of Initial Adverse Determination. A notice of an adverse
determination shall be set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant.






	 	(A)	 	the specific reasons for the adverse determination;
	 
	 	(B)	 	references to the specific provisions of the Plan document (or
other applicable Plan document) on which the adverse determination is based;
	 
	 	(C)	 	a description of any additional material or information
necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or
information is necessary; and
	 
	 	(D)	 	a description of the claims review procedure, including the
time limits applicable to such procedure, and a statement of the claimant’s
right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse
determination on review.






	 	(iii)	 	Request for Review. Within 60 days after receipt of an initial
adverse benefit determination notice, the claimant may file with the Committee a
written request for a review of the adverse determination and may, in connection
therewith submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to
the claim benefits. Any request for review of the initial adverse determination not
filed within 60 days after receipt of the initial adverse determination notice shall be
untimely.




19









 












	 	(iv)	 	Claim on Review. If the claim, upon review, is denied in whole or in
part, the Committee shall notify the claimant of the adverse benefit determination
within 60 days after receipt of such a request for review.






	 	(A)	 	The 60-day period for deciding the claim on review may be
extended for 60 days if the Committee determines that special circumstances
require an extension of time for determination of the claim, provided that the
Committee notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 60-day
period, of the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by
which a claim determination is expected to be made.
	 
	 	(B)	 	In the event that the time period is extended due to a
claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim on review,
the claimant shall have 60 days within which to provide the necessary
information and the period for making the claim determination on review shall
be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to
the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for
additional information or, if earlier, the expiration of 60 days.
	 
	 	(C)	 	The Committee’s review of a denied claim shall take into
account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the
claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was
submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.






	 	(v)	 	Notice of Adverse Determination for Claim on Review. A notice of an
adverse determination for a claim on review shall set forth in a manner calculated to
be understood by the claimant:






	 	(A)	 	the specific reasons for the denial;
	 
	 	(B)	 	references to the specific provisions of the Plan document (or
other applicable Plan document) on which the adverse determination is based.
	 
	 	(C)	 	a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon
request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents,
records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits;
	 
	 	(D)	 	a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered
by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain information about such
procedures; and
	 
	 	(E)	 	a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under

20









 












	(e)	 	Deadline to File Claim. To be considered timely under the Plan’s claim and review
procedure, a claim must be filed with the Committee within 1 year after the claimant knew or
reasonably should have known of the principal facts upon which the claim is based.
	 
	(f)	 	Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies. The exhaustion of the claim and review
procedure is mandatory for resolving every claim and dispute arising under the Plan as to such
claims and disputes.






	 	(i)	 	No claimant shall be permitted to commence any legal action to recover Plan
benefits or to enforce or clarify rights under the Plan under Section 502 or Section
510 of ERISA or under any other provision of law, whether or not statutory, until the
claim and review procedure set forth herein have been exhausted in their entirety; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	In any such legal action all explicit and all implicit determinations by the
Committee (including, but not limited to, determinations as to whether the claim, or a
request for a review of a denied claim, was timely filed) shall be afforded the maximum
deference permitted by law.






	(g)	 	Deadline to File Legal Action. No legal action to recover Plan benefits or to
enforce or clarify rights under the Plan under Section 502 of ERISA or under any other
provision of law, whether or not statutory, may be brought by any claimant on any matter
pertaining to the Plan unless the legal action is commenced in the proper forum before the
earlier of:






	 	(i)	 	30 months after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the
principal facts on which the claim is based, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	6 months after the claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedure.






	(h)	 	Knowledge of Fact by Participant Imputed to Beneficiary. Knowledge of all facts that
a Participant knew or reasonably should have known shall be imputed to every claimant who is
or claims to be a Beneficiary of the Participant or otherwise claims to derive an entitlement
by reference to the Participant.
	 
	(i)	 	Information Furnished by Participants. Neither the Company nor the Committee shall
be liable or responsible for any error in the computation of the accrued benefit of a
Participant resulting from any misstatement of fact made by the Participant, directly or
indirectly, to the Company or the Committee, and used by it in determining the Participant’s
accrued benefit. The Company and the Committee shall not be obligated or required to increase
the accrued benefit of such Participant which, on discovery of the misstatement, is found to
be understated as a result of such misstatement of the Participant. However, the accrued
benefit of any Participant which is overstated by reason of any such misstatement shall be
reduced to the amount appropriate in view of accurate facts.




21









 












	(j)	 	Overpayments. If a payment or series of payments made from this Plan is found to be
greater than the accrued benefit to which a Participant or Beneficiary is entitled due to
factual errors, mathematical errors or otherwise, the Committee may, in its discretion and to
the extent consistent with Code §409A, and in addition to or in lieu of any other legal
remedies it may have, suspend or reduce future benefits to such Participant or Beneficiary as
it deems appropriate to correct the overpayment.





ARTICLE XIII




MISCELLANEOUS





	(a)	 	Funding. The obligation of the Employers to pay benefits under the Plan constitutes
the unsecured promise of the Employers to make payments from their general assets, and no
Participant or Spouse shall have any interest in, or a lien or prior claim upon, any property
of the Employers. With respect to the benefits under the Plan, each Participant or Spouse
shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Participant’s Employer. The
Company may establish a so-called “rabbi trust” to hold funds, stock or other securities to be
used in payment of the obligations of the Employers under the Plan, and may fund such trust;
provided, however, that any funds contained therein shall remain subject to the claims of the
general creditors of the Company or any other Employer for which the Participant performs
services. It is the intention of the Employers that the Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and
for purposes of Title I of ERISA. No liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan
shall be imposed upon any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Company or any
other Employer, or upon the Board, the Committee or any member thereof.
	 
	(b)	 	No Guaranty of Benefits. Nothing contained in this Plan shall constitute a guaranty
by any Employer, the Committee or the Board that the assets of any Employer will be sufficient
to pay any benefit hereunder.
	 
	(c)	 	Assignments and Restrictions. To the extent permitted by law, and except as
otherwise provided in this Section (c), no right or interest of a Participant or Spouse under
this Plan shall be transferable or assignable (either at law or in equity) nor shall any such
right or interest be subject to alienation, anticipation, encumbrance, attachment,
garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process of any kind, voluntary or
involuntary, or in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts of any Participant or
Spouse. If a Participant shall attempt to or shall transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate,
sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his benefits hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason
of his bankruptcy or other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon anyone
else or would not be enjoyed by him, then the Company, in its




22









 






	 	 	discretion, may terminate his interest in any such benefit to the extent the Company
considers necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the effects of such occurrence.
Termination shall be effected by filing a “termination declaration” with the Committee and
making reasonable efforts to deliver a copy to the Participant (the “Terminated
Participant”) whose interest is affected thereby. As long as the Terminated Participant is
alive, any benefits affected by the termination shall be retained by the Company and, in the
Company’s sole and absolute judgment, may be paid to or expended for the benefit of the
Terminated Participants, his spouse, his children or any other person or persons in fact
dependent upon him in such a manner as the Company shall deem proper. Upon the death of the
Terminated Participant, all benefits withheld from him and not paid to others in accordance
with the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Terminated Participant’s surviving Spouse
or, if none, to the Terminated Participant’s then living descendants, including adopted
children, per stripes.
	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts payable under this Plan may be withheld by the
Company as they become due to the extent necessary to cover any debts or other obligations
owed to the Company by the Participant, but only if such debts or other obligations are
acknowledged as such in writing by the Participant or are confirmed as such by a final,
nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.






	(d)	 	Headings. The various headings used in this Plan are for convenience only and shall
not be used in interpreting the test of the Article, Section, paragraph or subparagraph in
which they appear.
	 
	(e)	 	Employment. The establishment of this Plan shall not be construed to give any
Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer.
	 
	(f)	 	Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Plan shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without giving
effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.
	 
	(g)	 	Binding Effect on Employer, Participants, Spouses and Their Successors. This Plan
shall be binding and inure to the benefit of any Employer or its successors and assigns, and
the Participants, Spouses and their heirs, legatees, distributes, executors, administrators or
other legal representatives.
	 
	(h)	 	Participant Information. Each participant shall keep the Committee informed of his
current address and the current address of his Spouse, if applicable. The Participant shall
furnish to the Committee any and all information deemed by the Committee to be necessary or
desirable for the proper administration of the Plan.
	 
	(i)	 	Incapacity. In the event that a Participant or Spouse is declared incompetent and a
guardian, conservator or other person is appointed and legally charged with the care of the
person or the




23









 






	 	 	person’s estate, the payments under the Plan to which such Participant or Spouse is entitled
shall be paid to such guardian, conservator or other person legally charged with the care of
the person or the estate. Except as provided hereinabove, when the Company, in its sole
discretion, determines that the Participant or Spouse is unable to manage his or her
financial affairs, the Company may make distribution(s) of the amounts payable to such
Participant or Spouse to any one or more of the spouse, lineal ascendants or descendants or
other closest living relatives of such Participant or Spouse who demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Company the propriety of making such distribution(s). Any payment so
made shall not exceed such amount as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code and shall
be in complete discharge of any liability under this Agreement for such payment. The
Company shall not be required to see to the application of any such distribution made under
this Section.






	(j)	 	Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and the
benefits payable hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan
and the benefits payable hereunder shall be administered in a manner consistent with this
intent, and any provision that would cause the Plan or benefit payable hereunder to fail to
satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with
Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by
Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of Participants).





ARTICLE XIV




AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION





	(a)	 	Amendment. The Plan may be amended from time to time in any respect whatsoever by
the Company and by the Committee to the extent consistent with its delegated authority. Any
such amendment may be retroactive, prospective or both. No such amendment of the Plan
document or termination of the Plan, however, shall reduce a Participant’s accrued benefit
earned as of the date of such amendment unless the Participant so affected consents in writing
to the amendment or such amendment is deemed necessary by the Company to affect the intended
purposes of this Plan and/or to comply with applicable law.
	 
	(b)	 	Termination. The Company reserves the right to discontinue benefit accruals at any
time. The Company also reserves the right to cause an acceleration of the time and form of a
Plan payment where the acceleration of such payment is made in accordance with one of the
following provisions:






	 	(i)	 	Dissolution or Bankruptcy. At the discretion of the Company within 12
months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code §331 or with the approval of a
bankruptcy court




24









 






	 	 	 	pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that Plan benefits are included in the
Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of:






	 	(A)	 	the calendar year in which the Plan termination and liquidation
occurs;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture; or
	 
	 	(C)	 	the first calendar year in which payment is administratively
feasible.






	 	(ii)	 	Discretionary Termination. At the discretion of the Company, provided
that:






	 	(A)	 	the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a
downturn in the financial health of the Company;
	 
	 	(B)	 	all other arrangements sponsored by the Company that would be
aggregated with this arrangement under Code §409A are also terminated, to the
extent any Participant in this Plan also has a benefit under any such other
arrangement;
	 
	 	(C)	 	no payments in liquidation of the Plan, other than payments
that would have been made under this Plan had the termination not occurred, are
made from the Plan within 12 months of the termination;
	 
	 	(D)	 	all benefits are fully distributed within 24 months of such
termination; and
	 
	 	(E)	 	the Company does not adopt a new arrangement that would be
aggregated under Code §409A with this Plan for 3 years following the date the
Company has taken all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate
this Plan
