|
| |     |  | A Participants contributions will be withheld at source by the
Corporation by way of scheduled payroll deductions based on the
percentage of Salary representing the Participants chosen level of
contribution and will be remitted to the Administrative Agent for
purchase of Shares pursuant to Section 6.

|
| |     |  | During a Participation Period, a Participant may modify his level

contribution may not be amended more than twice during the same
Year.

|
| |     |  | The Corporation shall make a contribution in Shares for the benefit
of the Participant under this Plan if (i) a Participant has made a
contribution under this Plan in a Year and is still an Employee on
the Calculation Date and (ii) if the Shares purchased with the
Participants contributions during the Year are still held by the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Participant-on the
Calculation Date.                                                                                                                                                          
|
| |     |  | If a Participants contribution was five percent (5%) or less of
his Salary, the Corporation shall make a contribution in Shares for
the benefit of the Participant equal to one-third (1/3) of the
number of Shares purchased with the Participants contribution
during the Year.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|
| |     |  | If a Participants contribution was more than five percent (5%) of
his Salary for the Year, the number of Shares purchased with the
Participants contribution used to calculate the Corporations
contribution will be reduced by multiplying it by five (5) and
dividing it by the number of his percentage of Salary contribution.
For example, if the Participants contribution is based on ten
percent (10%) of his Salary and if the number of Shares purchased
during the Year is ninety (90), the number of Shares used to
calculate the Corporations contribution will be:
|
| |     |  | 90 x 5 ÷ 10 = 45
and the Corporations contribution will be 45 ÷ 3 = 15.

|
| |     |  | The Corporation may choose to make its contribution in Shares from
treasury or to deposit with the Administrative Agent sufficient
funds to enable the Administrative Agent to purchase the
appropriate number of Shares in the market. In the latter case, the
Administrative Agent shall purchase the Shares through a broker
designated by the Corporation. If the Corporations contributions
are used to purchase Shares at difference prices, the Shares shall
be credited to each Participants account at their average purchase
price.
