ARTICLE IV
PARTICIPATION - ELECTIONS TO DEFER


4.1    Participation.  Participation in the Plan shall be limited to officers, highly compensated or management employees selected by the Compensation Committee who elect to participate in the Plan by filing a Participation Agreement with the Administrator after being notified of such selection.  


4.2    Participation Agreements.  A Participation Agreement must be filed prior to the 31st day of December immediately preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant's participation will commence, or such earlier date as required by the Administrator.  The election to participate shall be effective on the first day of the Plan Year following receipt by the Administrator of a properly completed and executed Participation Agreement.  However, with respect to the first Plan Year of the Plan or with respect to an individual hired or promoted during the Plan Year who thereby becomes eligible to participate herein and who does not currently participate in another “account balance plan” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued in connection therewith), an initial Participation Agreement may be filed within 30 days of notification to the Participant of his or her eligibility to participate.  Such election to participate shall be effective on the first day of the month following the Administrator's receipt thereof, except that elections not received by the Administrator prior to the 15th day of any calendar month shall be effective no earlier than the first day of the second month following the month of receipt, and elections for any Compensation earned over a period longer than one month shall not be effective until the period subsequent to the one in which such election is filed.  Participation Agreements shall be effective for one Plan Year; a new Participation Agreement must be filed by the 31st day of December immediately preceding each Plan Year that the Participant intends to defer his or her Salary or Bonus, or such earlier date as required by the Administrator.  


4.3    Performance Based Pay.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, Participation Agreements allowing for the deferral of Performance Based Compensation based upon a performance period of twelve (12) months or more shall not be effective unless filed no later than 6 months before the end of the Performance Period, or such earlier date as selected by the Administrator.  




ARTICLE V
INVESTMENT ELECTIONS


5.1    Investment Designations.  Each Participant may designate, on an Investment Election Form, the Available Investments in which his or her Deferred Benefit Account will be deemed invested, and the percentage of his or her Deferred Benefit Account that will be invested in each Available Investment, for purposes of determining the amount of earnings or losses to be credited or debited to his or her Deferred Benefit Account.  Such form must be filed with the Administrator.  A Participant may change his or her investment designations by filing a new Investment Election Form with the Administrator.  The Compensation Committee may, at any time and for any reason, limit the frequency in which Participants may change their investment designations.  If no such limitations are imposed, investment designations may be changed daily.  If a Participant fails to designate an Available Investment for all or a portion of the Participant's Deferred Benefit Account, his or her Deferred Benefit Account will be deemed invested in the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund or similar fund selected by the Compensation Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.


5.2    Selection of Investment.  The Compensation Committee may, from time to time and in its sole and absolute discretion, select the investments in which a Participant's Deferred Benefit Account may be deemed invested (“Available Investments”).  If the Compensation Committee determines that an investment shall no longer be an Available Investment, it shall notify, in writing, all Participants that have all or a portion of their Deferred Benefit Account invested in such investment of the date that it will no longer be an Available Investment.  If a Participant fails to redesignate that portion of his Deferred Benefit Account deemed invested in such investment by the date designated by the Compensation Committee, such portion will be deemed invested in the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund or similar fund selected by the Compensation Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.


5.3.    Effect of Designation.  Although the Participants may designate the Available Investments in which his or her Deferred Benefit Account will be deemed invested, the Compensation Committee shall not be bound by such designation.  The Available Investments are to be used only for purposes of crediting and debiting each Participant's Deferred Benefit Account with earnings and losses thereon, and shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment in such item or items.


5.4    Statement of Accounts. The Administrator shall submit to each Participant, as soon as administratively possible after each calendar quarter end, a statement in such form as the Administrator deems appropriate, setting forth the balance of each Participant's Deferred Benefit Account as such Determination Date.


5.5    No Guaranteed Return.  Each Participant, by filing a Participation Agreement and/or an Investment Election 

4






Form, agrees and acknowledges that neither the Company, nor any agent of the Company vested with authority regarding the Plan or having responsibilities associated with the Plan has a duty to maximize or protect the Participant's deemed return on investment.  Each Participant further acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any agent of the Company vested with authority regarding the Plan or having responsibilities associated with the Plan shall be liable for any loss of Deferred Benefits by reason of their selection of investments.  


ARTICLE VI
DEFERRED BENEFIT ACCOUNT




6.1    Establishment of Account.  A separate Deferred Benefit Account shall be established and maintained for each Plan Year that a Participant participates in the Plan.  If so desired, the Compensation Committee may, at any time, establish subaccounts within each Participant's Deferred Benefit Account.  A Participant's Deferred Benefit Account and any subaccount thereof shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to the Participants pursuant to this Plan.  A Participant's Deferred Benefit Account and any subaccount thereof shall not constitute or be treated as a trust fund of any kind or require the segregation of any assets of the Company.


6.2    Determination of Account. A Participant's Deferred Benefit Account shall be valued as of each Determination Date. 


ARTICLE VII

7.1.2    Separation from Service; 


7.1.3    Disability;

	7.2.2
	A monthly payment of a fixed amount which shall amortize the Participant's Deferred Benefit in equal monthly payments over a period from 2 to 120 months (as selected by the Participant on his or her Participation Agreement). 


 
		
	7.2.3
	In the event of  a payment made pursuant to Sections 7.1.3, 7.1.4, or 7.1.5  of this Plan (i.e. upon death, Disability or  Change in Control), the Company shall pay to the Participant (or the Participant's Beneficiary) the total value of his or her Deferred Benefit in a lump sum payment.




In the absence of a Participant's election under this Section, a Participant's Deferred Benefit Account shall be paid over a 120 month period in the manner specified in subparagraph 7.2.2.


		
	7.2.4
	Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII or Article IV to the contrary, a Participant may delay the payment of a Deferred Benefit or change the form of payment of a Deferred Benefit by filing a Further Deferral Request with the Administrator.  Such request must be made not less than twelve (12) months prior to the date the payment is scheduled to be paid (or in the case of installment payments, twelve (12) months prior to the date the first payment was scheduled to be paid), and shall, if so filed, be effective twelve (12) months after the date on which it is filed with the Administrator.  In the case of a Deferred Benefit payable under Sections 7.1.1, 7.1.2 and 7.1.5  of this Agreement, the requested delay for payment must be for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date that such payment would have been otherwise made (or in the case of an installment payment, five (5) years from the date the first payment was scheduled to be paid).

8.2    Amendments.  A Participant may change his or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries at any time and for any reason by filing a new Beneficiary Designation Form with the Administrator.  The filing of a new Beneficiary Designation Form will cancel all Beneficiary Designations Forms previously filed.


8.3    No Beneficiary Designation.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS


10.1    Unsecured General Creditor Status. Participants and their Beneficiaries shall have no legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any property or assets of the Company, nor shall they be beneficiaries of, or have any rights, claims or interests in any life insurance policies, annuity contracts or the proceeds therefrom owned or which may be acquired by the Company.  Such policies or other assets of the Company shall not he held under any trust for the benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries or held in any way as collateral security for the satisfaction or discharge of the obligations of the Company under the Plan.  Any and all of the Company's assets and such policies shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged and unrestricted assets of the Company, whether held directly or in a trust.  The Company's obligation under the Plan is and shall be merely an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future.


10.2    Nonassignability. Except as expressly allowed herein, neither a Participant nor a Beneficiary nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey (in advance of actual payment) the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan.  No part of the amounts payable shall (in advance of actual payment) be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency.


10.3    Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and the Participant, and the Participant (or Participant's Beneficiary) shall have no rights against the Company except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein.  Moreover, nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right (i) to be retained in the employ or other service of the Company for any specific length of time, (ii) to interfere with the right of the Company to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time, (iii) to hold any particular position or responsibility with the Company, or (iv) to receive any particular Compensation from the Company.


10.4    Protective Provisions. Each Participant shall cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Company in order to facilitate the payment of benefits under the Plan, by taking such physical examinations as the Company may deem necessary, and by taking such other actions as reasonably may be requested by the Company.


10.5    Incompetent. If the Administrator reasonably determines that any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of an illness or accident, then any payment due such Participant or Beneficiary (unless prior claim therefore shall have been made by a duly authorized guardian or other legal representative) may be paid, upon appropriate indemnification of the Company, to the person deemed by the Administrator to have current responsibility for the handling of the affairs of such Participant or Beneficiary.  Any such payment shall be a payment for the account of the Participant or Beneficiary and shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Company therefore.


10.6    Governing Law. The provisions of this Plan shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Iowa. 


10.7    Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.
