ARTICLE 2  Eligibility, Enrollment
 2.1
    
    Eligibility. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to Directors.2.2
    
    Enrollment Requirement. The Plan Administrator shall establish from time to time
such enrollment requirements as it determines in its sole discretion are necessary.2.3
    
    Commencement of Participation. Provided a Director has met all enrollment
requirements set forth by the Plan Administrator, the Director may commence participation in
the Plan on the Plan Entry Date that immediately follows the Directors election to
participate in the Plan.In the event that a Participant ceases to be a Director on account of becoming an employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary during a Plan Year, then any existing deferral elections
will continue in effect for such Plan Year and will apply exclusively to applicable amounts
paid to the Participant in his capacity as an inside director for the remainder of that
Plan Year, but not to any amounts paid to the Participant in his capacity as an employee.
Subsequently, the Participant will not be permitted to make any additional deferral
elections as a director with respect to this Plan until the January 1 following the date the
Participant is no longer an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, so long as the
Participant is a Director as of such date.
 ARTICLE 3  Distribution to Participant
 3.1
    
    Fixed Date Distribution.
 (a)
    
    In connection with each election to defer an Annual Deferral Amount, a

##### 



(b)
    
    If a Participant who has elected one or more Fixed Date Distributions has a
Termination of Service before the start of the Plan Year in which the Participants
Fixed Date Distribution is to be made or commenced, the Participants Account Balance
shall be paid at the time and in the form elected by the Participant in accordance with
Section 3.4 and not as the Fixed Date Distribution.
 3.2
    
    Withdrawal Payout/Suspensions for Unforeseeable Emergencies. If the Participant
experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may petition the Plan Administrator to
(i) suspend any deferrals required to be made by a Participant and/or (ii) receive a partial or full payout from the Plan. The Plan
Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accept or deny such petition. Any suspension or
payout shall not exceed the lesser of the Participants Account Balance, calculated as if
such Participant were receiving a Termination Benefit, or the amount necessary to satisfy
such Unforeseeable Emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a
result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is
or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by
liquidation of the Participants assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would
not itself cause severe financial hardship). If the petition for a suspension and/or payout
is approved, suspension shall take effect upon the date of approval and any payout shall be
made within 60 days of the date of approval.3.3
    
    Termination Benefit. Upon a Participants Termination of Service, the Participant
shall be entitled to receive a Termination Benefit, payable in accordance with the terms of
Section 3.4, which shall be equal to the Participants Account Balance determined as of the
date of the Termination of Service, plus returns credited to the Participants Account Balance
in accordance with the Plan.3.4
    
    Payment of Termination Benefit. A Participant may elect on the Election Form prior
to the beginning of each Plan Year to receive the Termination Benefit for such Plan Year in a
lump sum or in annual installments over a period of up to five (5) years. The lump sum
payment or the first installment shall be made in the month of January of the year following
the Plan Year in which the Termination of Service occurs. For purposes of payment, the
Participants Account Balance shall be divided into subaccounts, one for each year elected by
the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing 

##### 



(a)
    
    Payment shall be made in a lump sum as follows in lieu of any different form
provided on the Election Form then in effect:
 (i)
    
    If the Participant incurs a Termination of Service within one
(1) year after a Change in Control, the Termination Benefit shall be paid in a
lump sum within twenty (20) days of the Termination of Service; provided,
however, that solely for purposes of this subsection 3.4(a)(i), the date of
Termination of Service shall be deemed to be a Distribution Event and returns
shall cease to be credited to the Participants Account Balance in accordance
with the Plan.(ii)
    
    If the Participants Termination Benefit is less than $25,000
on the date of Termination of Service, such portion shall be paid in a lump sum
to the Participant in the month of January following the Plan Year of
Termination of Service.
 (b)
    
    If the Participant is a Specified Employee (as that term is defined in the
Con-way Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives and Key Employees, as amended
from time to time), the lump sum may not be paid, and installments may not commence
before the date which is six (6) months after the date of Separation from Service
(or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant). Any such lump sum or
installment payments that were scheduled to be paid during the six (6) months after
the Separation from Service but which were delayed pursuant to this subsection
3.4(b), shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the date
which is the first day of the seventh months following the Separation from Service
date. Any lump sum or installment payments that were originally scheduled to be
paid following the six (6) months after the Separation from Service shall continue
to be paid according to their pre-determined schedule.

5.2
    
    Amendment. The Board may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part,
provided, however, that no amendment or modification shall deprive a Participant or a
Beneficiary of a material right accrued hereunder prior to the date of the amendment or
materially and adversely affect the payment of benefits to any Participant or Beneficiary who
has become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment
or modification unless the Participant or Beneficiary so affected consents in writing to the
amendment or modification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may amend the Plan
retroactively to the extent the Board is of the opinion that such an amendment is required to avoid the imposition of
additional tax liabilities on a Participant under Code section 409A or to conform the Plan
to the provisions and requirements of any applicable law, provided that no such amendment
may reduce any Participants Account Balance. No such amendment shall be considered
prejudicial to any interest of a Participant or Beneficiary hereunder.
 5.3
    
    Effect of Payment. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Participant or
Participants Beneficiary under Articles 3 or 4, as applicable, shall fully and completely
discharge the Company and any Subsidiary from all obligations under this Plan with respect to
the Participant, Beneficiaries, and any others that may be entitled to such benefits.

Sections 5.1 and 5.2);(b)
    
    To determine the amount, timing, vesting, and other conditions applicable to
Plan contributions and benefits;(c)
    
    To set aside funds to assist the Company to meet its obligations under this
Plan, provided that the funds are set aside in a manner that does not result in
immediate taxation to Participants;(d)
    
    To establish investment policy guidelines applicable to funds (if any) set
aside under (c);(e)
    
    To establish one or more grantor trusts (as defined in Code Section 671 et
seq.) to facilitate the payment of benefits under the Plan;

the requirements of Section 409A. The Plan Administrator shall interpret the Plan in such a
way as to meet such requirements. The Plan Administrator has the following powers and
authority under the Plan:
 (a)
    
    In the exercise of its sole, absolute, and exclusive discretion, to construe

issues relating to eligibility for benefits;(b)
    
    To authorize withdrawals due to Unforeseeable Financial Emergency;(c)

    To establish administratively reasonable dates, times, and periods, to the
extent that the terms of the Plan provide for the Plan Administrator to do so;(e)
    
    To prepare forms necessary for the administration of the Plan, including
Election Forms, beneficiary designation forms, investment designation forms, and any
other form or document deemed necessary to the effective administration of the Plan;(f)
    
    To approve and adopt communications to be furnished to Participants explaining
the material provisions, terms, and conditions of the Plan;(g)

 6.3
    
    Binding Effect of Decisions. The finding, decision, determination or action of the
Plan Administrator or its delegate with respect to any question arising out of or in
connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules
and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon any and
all persons having any interest in the Plan unless determined, subject only to the Plans
claims rules. No findings, decisions or determinations of any kind made by the Plan
Administrator or its delegate shall be disturbed unless the Plan Administrator or its delegate
has acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner.
 6.4
    
    Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the named fiduciaries
and any officers or employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to which fiduciary
responsibilities have been delegated from and against any and all liabilities, claims,
demands, costs and expenses including attorneys fees, arising out of an alleged breach in the
performance of their fiduciary duties under the Plan and ERISA, other than such liabilities,
claims, demands, costs and expenses as may result from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such person. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
conduct the defense of such person in any proceeding to which this paragraph applies.
 6.5
    
    Stock Subject to the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, shares of Common
Stock utilized for purposes of distributions of Plan benefits shall consist of shares held in
the Companys treasury.

dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash or Common Stock or other
property), or recapitalization, Common Stock split, reverse split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar
corporate transaction or event affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate

ARTICLE 7  Miscellaneous
 7.1
    
    Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors
and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any property or
assets of the Company. Any and all of the Companys assets shall be, and remain, its general,
unpledged and unrestricted assets. The Companys obligation under the Plan shall be merely
that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.
 7.2
    
    Subsidiaries Liability. None of the Companys Subsidiaries shall bear any liability
to a Participant or a Participants Beneficiary for payment of any benefits under the Plan.
 7.3
    
    Companys Liability. Amounts payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan
shall be paid from the general assets of the Company (including without limitation the assets
of any trust established to fund payment of obligations hereunder) exclusively. A
Participants right to Plan distributions shall be no greater than the rights to payment of
general, unsecured creditors of the Company. The Company may establish one or more grantor
trusts (as defined in Code Section 671 et seq.) to facilitate the payment of benefits
hereunder; however, the Company shall not be obligated under any circumstances to fund its
financial obligations under the Plan. Any assets which the Company may acquire or set aside
to defray its financial liabilities shall be subject to the claims of its general creditors in
the event of the Companys insolvency. The assets of any such trust shall not, at any time,
be located outside of the United States or transferred outside of the United States.
 7.4
    
    Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have the right to

(b)
    
    Maximum. The annual retainer and all meeting fees, plus all chair fees
payable in the Plan Year, if any.
 B.2
    
    Election to Defer.  Each newly eligible Participant shall make a
deferral election by delivering to the Plan Administrator a completed
and signed Election Form prior to the Participants initial Plan Entry
Date. For each succeeding Plan Year, a new Election Form must be
delivered to the Plan Administrator before the end of the previous
Plan Year, in accordance with the rules set forth above. If the

    Annual Election of Phantom Stock Units.  If permitted by the Plan
Administrator, prior to or during the month of January of each Plan
Year prior to the commencement of installment payments, each currently
eligible Participant who has an Account Balance shall have the
opportunity to elect (an Investment Change) to transfer all or a
portion of such Participants Dollar-Denominated Account to such
Participants Phantom Stock Account; provided, however, that an
Investment Change may not be elected with respect to any portion of a
Participants Dollar-Denominated Account that has been designated for
a Fixed Date Distribution (the Excluded Portion). The amount to be
subject to an Investment Change may be determined as a dollar amount
or a percentage of the Participants Dollar-Denominated Account
(excluding the Excluded Portion); provided, however, that no less than
five thousand dollars ($5,000) may be made subject to an Investment
Change. The Participant may elect to convert amounts credited to one
or more Plan Year Account Balances, in any order selected by the
Participant. Each Investment Change election made by a Participant
pursuant to this Section B.3 shall be irrevocable when made and shall
be effective as of the February 1 following the date that the election
is made; provided, however, if the Companys General Counsel shall
have determined that the blackout period for trading in Company
securities shall be in effect as to that Participant on February 1,
then the Investment Change election shall be null and void. The number
of Phantom Stock Units to be credited to a Participants Phantom Stock
Account pursuant to an Investment Change shall be determined in

    The balance in each Participants Dollar-Denominated Account
shall be compounded quarterly, as of the last day of each calendar quarter,

Dollar-Denominated Account as though the portion of such Annual Deferral Amount
withheld during any calendar quarter was withheld on the first day of the
following calendar quarter (or such other administratively reasonable date as

2006 treated for purposes of subsection C.1(b)(iii) and Section C.3 as a
Dollar-Denominated Account for Plan Year Account Balances for Plan Years after 2006.
After any such election becomes effective, the performance of the investments selected

the Participants Phantom Stock Account, in each case as set forth below:

    The number of Phantom Stock Units to be credited to a
Participants Phantom Stock Account pursuant to an Investment Change shall be
determined by dividing (A) the dollar amount subject to the Investment Change
by (B) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of February 1 of the
Plan Year to which the Investment Change relates; and(ii)
    
    The number of Phantom Stock Units to be credited to a
Participants Phantom Stock Account in respect of Dividend Equivalents shall be
equal to (A) the per share dividend paid on a share of Common Stock, multiplied
by (B) the number of Phantom Stock Units credited to the Participants Phantom
Stock Account as of the record date for such dividend, divided by (C) the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the payment date for such

Stock Units credited to the Participants Phantom Stock Account immediately
prior to such installment by the remaining number of installments, with any
fractional Phantom Stock Units paid in cash, and(iii)
    
    if all or part of the balance is to be distributed in cash,
