EMPLOYER ELECTIONS



The Employer only needs to complete the questions in Sections 2.2 through 2.7 below in order to
override the default provisions set forth below. If the Plan will use all of the default

6-year graded schedule (20% after 2 years of vesting service and an additional 20% for each
year thereafter).

ARTICLE III

NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTION VESTING





	3.1	 	Applicability. This Article applies to Participants who complete an Hour of Service in a Plan
Year beginning after December 31, 2006, with respect to accrued benefits derived from employer
nonelective contributions made in Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2006. Unless
otherwise elected by the employer in Amendment Section 2.2 above, this Article also will apply
to all nonelective contributions subject to a vesting schedule, including nonelective
contributions allocated under the Plan terms as of a date in a Plan Year beginning before
January 1, 2007.
	 
	3.2	 	Vesting schedule. A Participant’s accrued benefit derived from employer nonelective
contributions vests as provided in Amendment Section 2.1.a, or if applicable, Amendment
Section 2.2.





ARTICLE IV

PARTICIPANT DISTRIBUTION NOTIFICATION





	4.1	 	180-day notification period. For any distribution notice issued in Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 2006, any reference to the 90-day maximum notice period prior to distribution in
applying the notice requirements of Code §§402(f) (the rollover notice), 411(a)(11)
(Participant’s consent to distribution), and 417 (notice under the joint and survivor annuity
rules) will become 180 days.
	 
	4.2	 	Notice of right to defer distribution. For any distribution notice issued in Plan Years
beginning after December 31, 2006, the description of a Participant’s right, if any, to defer
receipt of a distribution also will describe the consequences of failing to defer receipt of
the distribution. For notices issued before the 90th day after the issuance of Treasury
regulations (unless future Revenue Service guidance otherwise requires), the notice will
include: (i) a description indicating the investment options available under the Plan
(including fees) that will be available if the Participant defers distribution; and (ii) the
portion of the summary plan description that contains any special rules that might affect
materially a Participant’s decision to defer.





ARTICLE V

ROLLOVER OF AFTER-TAX/ROTH AMOUNTS





	5.1	 	Direct rollover to qualified plan/403(b) plan. For taxable years beginning after December 31,
2006, a Participant may elect to transfer employee (after-tax) or Roth elective deferral
contributions by means of a direct rollover to a qualified plan or to a 403(b) plan that
agrees to account separately for amounts so transferred, including accounting separately for
the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such
distribution which is not includible in gross income.





ARTICLE VI

DIVESTMENT OF EMPLOYER SECURITIES





	6.1	 	Rule applicable to elective deferrals and employee contributions. For Plan Years beginning
after December 31, 2006, if any portion of the account of a Participant (including, for
purposes of this Article VI, a beneficiary entitled to exercise the rights of a Participant)
attributable to elective deferrals or employee contributions is invested in publicly-traded
Employer securities, the Participant may elect to direct the Plan to divest any such
securities, and to reinvest an equivalent amount in other investment options which satisfy the
requirements of Section 6.3.
	 
	6.2	 	Rule applicable to Employer contributions. If any portion of a Participant’s account
attributable to nonelective or matching contributions is invested in publicly-traded Employer
securities, then a Participant who has completed at least 3 years of vesting service, or a
beneficiary of any deceased Participant entitled to exercise the right of a Participant, may
elect to direct the Plan to divest any such securities, and to reinvest an equivalent amount
in other investment options which satisfy the requirements of Section 6.3.






	 	a.	 	Three-year phase-in applicable to Employer contributions. For Employer securities
acquired with nonelective or matching contributions during a Plan Year beginning before
January 1, 2007, the rule described in this Section 6.2 only applies to the percentage of
the Employer securities (applied separately for each class of securities) as follows:





	 	 	 	 	 
	Plan Year	 	Percentage
	2007
	 	 	33	 
	2008
	 	 	66	 
	2009
	 	 	100	 







	 	b.	 	Exception to phase-in for certain age 55 Participants. The 3-year phase-in rule of
Section 6.2.a does not apply to a Participant who has attained age 55 and who has
completed at least 3 years of service before the first Plan Year beginning after December
31, 2005.






	6.3	 	Investment options. For purposes of this Article VI, other investment options must include
not less than 3 investment options, other than Employer securities, to which the Participant
may direct the proceeds of divestment of Employer securities required by this Article VI, each
of which options is diversified and has materially different risk and return characteristics.
The Plan must

	 	 	provide reasonable divestment and reinvestment opportunities at least quarterly.
Except as provided in regulations, the Plan may not impose restrictions or conditions on the
investment of Employer securities which the Plan does not impose on the investment of other
Plan assets, other than restrictions or conditions imposed by reason of the application of
securities laws or a condition permitted under IRS Notice 2006-107 or other applicable
guidance.
	 
	6.4	 	Exceptions for certain plans. This Article VI does not apply to a one-participant plan, as
defined in Code §401(a)(35)(E)(iv), or to an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) if: (i)
there are no contributions to the ESOP (or related earnings) attributable to elective
deferrals or matching contributions; and (ii) the ESOP is a separate plan, for purposes of
Code §414(l), from any other defined benefit plan or defined contribution plan maintained by
the same employer or employers.
	 
	6.5	 	Treatment as publicly traded Employer securities. Except as provided in Treasury regulations
or in Code §401(a)(35)(F)(ii) (relating to certain controlled groups), a plan holding Employer
securities which are not publicly traded Employer securities is treated as holding publicly
traded Employer securities if any Employer corporation, or any member of a controlled group of
corporations which includes such Employer corporation (as defined in Code §401(a)(35)(F)(iii))
has issued a class of stock which is a publicly traded Employer security.





ARTICLE VII

DIRECT ROLLOVER OF NON-SPOUSAL DISTRIBUTION





	7.1	 	Non-spouse beneficiary rollover right. For distributions after December 31, 2009, and unless
otherwise elected in Section 2.3 of this Amendment, for distributions after December 31, 2006,
a non-spouse beneficiary who is a “designated beneficiary” under Code §401(a)(9)(E) and the
regulations thereunder, by a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer (“direct rollover”), may roll
over all or any portion of his or her distribution to an individual retirement account the
beneficiary establishes for purposes of receiving the distribution. In order to be able to
roll over the distribution, the distribution otherwise must satisfy the definition of an
eligible rollover distribution.
	 
	7.2	 	Certain requirements not applicable. Although a non-spouse beneficiary may roll over directly
a distribution as provided in Section 7.1, any distribution made prior to January 1, 2010 is
not subject to the direct rollover requirements of Code §401(a)(31) (including Code
§401(a)(31)(B), the notice requirements of Code §402(f) or the mandatory withholding
requirements of Code §3405(c)). If a non-spouse beneficiary receives a distribution from the
Plan, the distribution is not eligible for a “60-day” rollover.
	 
	7.3	 	Trust beneficiary. If the Participant’s named beneficiary is a trust, the Plan may make a
direct rollover to an individual retirement account on behalf of the trust, provided the trust
satisfies the requirements to be a designated beneficiary within the meaning of Code
§401(a)(9)(E).
	 
	7.4	 	Required minimum distributions not eligible for rollover. A non-spouse beneficiary may not
roll over an amount which is a required minimum distribution, as determined under applicable
Treasury regulations and other Revenue Service guidance. If the Participant dies before his or
her required beginning date and the non-spouse beneficiary rolls over to an IRA the maximum
amount eligible for rollover, the beneficiary may elect to use either the 5-year rule or the
life expectancy rule, pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(9)-3, A-4(c), in determining the
required minimum distributions from the IRA that receives the non-spouse beneficiary’s
distribution.





ARTICLE VIII

DISTRIBUTION BASED ON BENEFICIARY HARDSHIP





	8.1	 	Beneficiary-based distribution. If elected in Amendment Section 2.4.a, then beginning as of
the date specified in such Section, a Participant’s hardship event, for purposes of the Plan’s
safe harbor hardship distribution provisions pursuant to Treas. Reg.
§1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iii)(B), includes an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant’s
primary beneficiary under the Plan, that would constitute a hardship event if it occurred with
respect to the Participant’s spouse or dependent as defined under Code §152 (such hardship
events being limited to educational expenses, funeral expenses and certain medical expenses).
For purposes of this Article, a Participant’s “primary beneficiary under the Plan” is an
individual who is named as a beneficiary under the Plan and has an unconditional right to all
or a portion of the Participant’s account balance under the Plan upon the Participant’s death.





ARTICLE IX

IN-SERVICE PENSION DISTRIBUTIONS





	9.1	 	Age 62 distributions. If elected in Amendment Section 2.5.a, then beginning as of the date
specified in such Section, if the Plan is a money purchase pension plan, a target benefit
plan, or any other defined contribution plan that has received a transfer of assets from a
pension plan, a Participant who has attained age 62 and who has not separated from employment
may elect to receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance (or in case of a
transferee plan, of the transferred account balance).

ARTICLE X

QUALIFIED RESERVIST DISTRIBUTION





	10.1	 	401(k) distribution restrictions. If elected in Amendment Section 2.6, then effective as of
the date specified in such Section, the Plan permits a Participant to elect a Qualified
Reservist Distribution, as defined in this Article X.
	 
	10.2	 	Qualified Reservist Distribution defined. A “Qualified Reservist Distribution” is any
distribution to an individual who is ordered or called to active duty after September 11,
2001, if: (i) the distribution is from amounts attributable to elective deferrals in a 401(k)
plan; (ii) the individual was (by reason of being a member of a reserve component, as defined
in section 101 of title 37, United States Code) ordered or called to active duty for a period
in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period; and (iii) the Plan makes the distribution
during the period beginning on the date of such order or call, and ending at the close of the
active duty period.





ARTICLE XI

OTHER 401(k)/401(m) PLAN PROVISIONS





	11.1	 	Gap period income on distributed excess contributions and excess aggregate contributions.
This Section applies to excess contributions (as defined in Code §401(k)(8)(B)) and excess
aggregate contributions (as defined in Code §401(m)(6)(B)) made with respect to Plan Years
beginning after December 31, 2007. The Plan administrator will not calculate and distribute
allocable income for the gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the Plan Year in
which the excess contribution or excess aggregate contribution occurred and prior to the
distribution).
	 
	11.2	 	Gap period income on distributed excess deferrals. With respect to 401(k) plan excess
deferrals (as defined in Code §402(g)) made in taxable year 2007, the Plan administrator must
calculate allocable income for the taxable year and also for the gap period (i.e., the period
after the close of the taxable year in which the excess deferral occurred and prior to the
distribution); provided that the Plan administrator will calculate and distribute the gap
period allocable income only if the Plan administrator in accordance with the Plan terms
otherwise would allocate the gap period allocable income to the Participant’s account. With
respect to 401(k) plan excess deferrals made in taxable years after 2007, gap period income
may not be distributed.
	 
	11.3	 	Plan termination distribution availability. For purposes of determining whether the Employer
maintains an alternative defined contribution plan (described in Treas. Reg.
§1.401(k)-1(d)(4)(i)) that would prevent the Employer from distributing elective deferrals
(and other amounts, such as QNECs, that are subject to the distribution restrictions that
apply to elective deferrals) from a terminating 401(k) plan, an alternative defined
contribution plan does not include an employee stock ownership plan defined in Code
§§4975(e)(7) or 409(a), a simplified employee pension as defined in Code §408(k), a SIMPLE IRA
plan as defined in Code §408(p), a plan or contract that satisfies the requirements of Code
§403(b), or a plan that is described in Code §§457(b) or (f).





ARTICLE XII

QUALIFIED OPTIONAL SURVIVOR ANNUITY





	12.1	 	Right to Elect Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity. Effective with respect to Plan Years
beginning after December 31, 2007, a participant who elects to waive the qualified joint and
survivor annuity form of benefit, if offered under the Plan, is entitled to elect the
“qualified optional survivor annuity” at any time during the applicable election period.
Furthermore, the written explanation of the joint and survivor annuity shall explain the terms
and conditions of the “qualified optional survivor annuity.”
	 
	12.2	 	Definition of Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity.






	 	a.	 	General. For purposes of this Article, the term “qualified optional survivor
annuity” means an annuity:






	 	(1)	 	For the life of the participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the
spouse which is equal to the “applicable percentage” of the amount of the annuity
which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the spouse, and
	 
	 	(2)	 	Which is the actuarial equivalent of a single annuity for the life of the
participant.






	 	 	 	Such term also includes any annuity in a form having the effect of an annuity described in
the preceding sentence.






	 	b.	 	Applicable percentage. For purposes of this Section, the “applicable percentage” is
based on the survivor annuity percentage (i.e., the percentage which the survivor annuity
under the Plan’s qualified joint and survivor annuity bears to the annuity payable during
the joint lives of the participant and the spouse). If the survivor annuity percentage is
less than 75 percent, then the “applicable percentage” is 75 percent; otherwise, the
“applicable percentage” is 50 percent.





ARTICLE XIII

DIRECT ROLLOVER TO ROTH IRA





	13.1	 	Roth IRA rollover. For distributions made after December 31, 2007, a participant may elect to
roll over directly an eligible rollover distribution to a Roth IRA described in Code §408A(b).

ARTICLE XIV

QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS





	14.1	 	Permissible QDROs. Effective April 6, 2007, a domestic relations order that otherwise
satisfies the requirements for a qualified domestic relations order (“QDRO”) will not fail to
be a QDRO: (i) solely because the order is issued after, or revises, another domestic
relations order or QDRO; or (ii) solely because of the time at which the order is issued,
including issuance after the annuity starting date or after the Participant’s death.
	 
	14.2	 	Other QDRO requirements apply. A domestic relations order described in Section 14.1 is
subject to the same requirements and protections that apply to QDROs.





ARTICLE XV

HEART ACT PROVISIONS





	15.1	 	Death benefits. In the case of a death occurring on or after January 1, 2007, if a
Participant dies while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code §414(u)), the
survivors of the Participant are entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit
accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) provided under the Plan as if
the Participant had resumed and then terminated employment on account of death.
	 
	15.2	 	Benefit accrual. If the Employer elects in Amendment Section 2.7 to apply this Section 15.2,
then for benefit accrual purposes, the Plan treats an individual who dies or becomes disabled
on or after January 1, 2007 (as defined under the terms of the Plan) while performing
qualified military service with respect to the Employer as if the individual had resumed
employment in accordance with the individual’s reemployment rights under USERRA, on the day
preceding death or disability (as the case may be) and terminated employment on the actual
date of death or disability.






	 	a.	 	Determination of benefits. The Plan will determine the amount of employee
contributions and the amount of elective deferrals of an individual treated as reemployed
under this Section 15.2 for purposes of applying paragraph Code §414(u)(8)(C) on the
basis of the individual’s average actual employee contributions or elective deferrals for
the lesser of: (i) the 12-month period of service with the Employer immediately prior to
qualified military service; or (ii) if service with the Employer is less than such
12-month period, the actual length of continuous service with the Employer.






	15.3	 	Differential wage payments. For years beginning after December 31, 2008, (i) an individual
receiving a differential wage payment, as defined by Code §3401(h)(2), is treated as an
