ARTICLE II

ELIGIBILITY




     2.1 Selection of Participants.



     The Board, in its sole discretion, shall designate which Eligible Employees shall become
Participants in the Plan. The Administration Committee shall set forth the name of each Participant
on Schedule A hereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all aspects of the selection
of Participants shall be in the sole discretion of the Board and regardless of title, duties or any

ARTICLE III




BENEFITS




     3.1 Benefit Amount.



          (a) Normal Retirement Benefit. The Normal Retirement Benefit shall be the Accrued
Benefit of a Participant commencing at Normal Retirement Age provided that such Participant shall
have attained age 50 with at least ten (10) Years of Credited Service, five (5) years of which the
Participant has been as a Participant in the Plan.




          (b) Death or Disability. If a Participant experiences a Separation from Service due
to death or Disability, and is otherwise vested in his Accrued Benefit as set forth in Section
3.1(a), the Participant, or his Designated Beneficiary, as applicable, shall be entitled to a
Normal Retirement Benefit upon his Benefit Commencement Date in an amount equal the Actuarial
Equivalent of his Accrued Benefit determined as of the date his employment so terminates to reflect
commencement of the Accrued Benefit prior to his Normal Retirement Age. If a Participant who
separates from service as a result of a Disability and commences receipt of his Accrued Benefit and
is subsequently reemployed by the Company, such Participant shall be treated as newly eligible to
participate in the Plan and shall receive no credit for prior service under the Plan.




          (c) Termination Before Eligibility for Normal Retirement Benefit. Except as provided
in Section 3.3, upon a Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason before he has attained
age 50 with at least ten (10) Years of Credited Service, five (5) years of which the Participant
was a Participant in the Plan, neither the Participant nor his Designated Beneficiary shall be
entitled to any benefit or payment under the Plan.




6









 








     3.2 Payment of Benefit.



          (a) Commencement and Timing. A Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit determined
under Section 3.1 shall commence as of the beginning of the seventh (7th) month
following his Benefit Commencement Date, other than a Benefit Commencement Date by reason of the
Participant’s death. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, during the period
between the Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date and the date on which payments begin under this
Section 3.2, the payments to which the Participant would be entitled during the six month period
following the Participant’s Separation from Service shall be accumulated and paid to the
Participant with Interest in a lump sum as of the beginning of the seventh (7th) month.
Monthly payments, if any, due under the terms of the Plan shall be paid in the normal course after
such six month delay. A Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit determined under Section 3.1 shall
commence as soon as practicable following his Benefit Commencement Date if such Benefit
Commencement Date occurs by reason of the Participant’s death.




          (b) Form of Payment for Retirement Benefit.




     A Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit shall be an annual amount, payable in twelve (12)
monthly payments for fifteen (15) years certain.



     3.3 Change in Control.



     In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, every Participant shall become fully
vested in the total amount of his Accrued Benefit determined as of the date the Change in Control
occurs. Following a Change in Control, when a Participant terminates employment with the Company
and all Affiliates, he shall be entitled to a lump-sum payment that is the Actuarial Equivalent of
his Accrued Benefit, determined as of the date his employment so terminates, adjusted to reflect
the lump sum form of payment and commencement of the Participant’s benefit prior to his Normal
Retirement Age. Payments will commence as of the beginning of the seventh (7th) month
following the Participant’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, during the period between the Participant’s termination of employment and the date on
which payments begin under this Section 3.3, the payments to
which the Participant would be entitled during the six month period following the Participant’s
termination of employment shall be accumulated and paid to the Participant with Interest in a lump
sum as of the beginning of the seventh (7th) month. Monthly payments, if any, due under
the terms of the Plan shall be paid in the normal course after such six month delay.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is receiving a Normal
Retirement Benefit as of the date a Change in Control occurs, the remaining portion of his Normal
Retirement Benefit shall be distributed immediately in a lump sum payment adjusted to reflect the
conversion of a stream of payments for the remainder of the fifteen (15) years certain to a lump
sum form of payment.



     3.4 Death Benefit.



     In the event a Participant is entitled to a Normal Retirement Benefit under this Plan and dies
before he has received the entirety of his Normal Retirement Benefit under Section 3.2(b), then the
undistributed payments of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit as of the date of



7









 







the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary in the form the
Participant was or would have received.



ARTICLE IV

CLAIMS




     4.1 Claims Procedure. Claims for benefits under the Plan may be filed with the
Administrative Committee. Written or electronic notice of the disposition of a claim shall be
furnished to the claimant within 90 days after the claim is filed. If additional time (up to 90
days) is required by the Administrative Committee to process the claim, written notice shall be
provided to the claimant within the initial 90-day period. In such event, written notice of the
extension shall be furnished to the claimant within the initial 30-day extension period. Any
extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the
date by which the Administrative Committee expects to render a determination.



     In the event the claim is denied in whole or in part, the notice shall set forth in language
calculated to be understood by the claimant:




	 	(i)	 	the specific reason or reasons for the denial,
	 
	 	(ii)	 	specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
denial is based,
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a description of any additional material or information
necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary, and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time
limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s
right, if any, to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of the ERISA,
following an adverse benefit determination on review.





     4.2 Claims Review Procedure. Any Participant or beneficiary or beneficiaries who has
been denied a benefit by a decision of the Administrative Committee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall
be entitled to request the Administrative Committee, to give further consideration to his or her
claim by filing a written application for review with the Administrative Committee no later than 60
days after receipt of the written notification provided for in Section 4.1. The claimant may
submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for
benefits which will all be taken into account during the review of the claim, whether or not such
information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The claimant shall
be provided, 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.



     Upon receiving such written application for review, the Administrative Committee may schedule
a hearing for purposes of reviewing the claimant’s claim, which hearing shall take place not more
than 30 days from the date on which the Administrative Committee received such



8









 







written application
for review. All claimants requesting a review of the decision denying their claim for benefits may
employ counsel for purposes of the hearing.



     Written or electronic notice of the disposition of a claim shall be furnished to the claimant
within 60 days after the application for review is filed. If additional time (up to 60 days) is
required by the Administrative Committee to process the claim, written notice shall be provided to
the claimant within the initial 60-day period. The extension notice shall indicate the special
circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Administrative Committee
expects to render a determination.



     In the case of an adverse determination, the decision on review shall include specific reasons
for the decision, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and specific references
to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. The decision on review shall also
include:




	 	(i)	 	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,
and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered
by the Plan, and a statement of the claimant’s right, if any, to bring an
action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.





ARTICLE V

SOURCE OF FUNDS TRUST




     5.1 Source of Funds.



     Except as provided in this Section and Section 5.2, the Company shall provide the benefits
described in the Plan from the general assets of the Company. In any event, the Company ultimately
shall have the obligation to pay all benefits due to Participants and Designated Beneficiaries
under the Plan. The Company’s obligation to pay benefits under the
Plan constitutes a mere promise of the Company to pay such benefits, and a Participant or
Designated Beneficiary shall be and remain no more than an unsecured, general creditor of the
Company. As described in this Article, the Company may establish a Trust and pay over funds from
time to time to such Trust. To the extent that funds in such Trust allocable to the benefits
payable under the Plan are sufficient, the Trust assets shall be used to pay benefits under the
Plan. If such Trust assets are not sufficient to pay all benefits due under the Plan, then the
Company shall have the obligation, and the Participant or Designated Beneficiary, who is due such
benefits, shall look to the Company to provide such benefits. The Administrative Committee shall
allocate the total liability to pay benefits under the Plan among the Participating Companies in
such manner and amount as the Administrative Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate to
reflect the benefits accrued by each Participating Company’s employees.



     5.2 Trust.



     The Company may transfer all or any portion of the funds necessary to fund benefits accrued
hereunder to the Trustee to be held and administered by the Trustee pursuant to the



9









 







terms of the
Trust Agreement. To the extent provided in the Trust Agreement, each transfer into the Trust Fund
shall be irrevocable as long as the Company has any liability or obligations under the Plan to pay
benefits, such that the Trust property is in no way subject to use by the Company; provided, it is
the intent of the Company that the assets held by the Trust are and shall remain at all times
subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company. No Participant or Designated
Beneficiary shall have any interest in the assets held by the Trust or in the general assets of the
Company other than as a general, unsecured creditor. Accordingly, the Company shall not grant a
security interest in the assets held by the Trust in favor of the Participants, Designated
Beneficiaries or any creditor.



ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE




     6.1 Action.



     Action of the Administrative Committee may be taken with or without a meeting of committee
members; provided, action shall be taken only upon the vote or other affirmative expression of a
majority of the committee members qualified to vote with respect to such action. If a member of the
Administrative Committee is a Participant, he shall not participate in any decision which solely
affects his own benefit under the Plan. For purposes of administering the Plan, the Administrative
Committee shall choose a secretary who shall keep minutes of the Administrative Committee’s
proceedings and all records and documents pertaining to the administration of the Plan. The
secretary may execute any certificate or any other written direction on behalf of the
Administrative Committee.



     6.2 Rights and Duties.



     The Administrative Committee shall administer the Plan and shall have all powers necessary to
accomplish that purpose, including (but not limited to) the following:



          (a) To construe, interpret and administer the Plan;




          (b) To make determinations required by the Plan, and to maintain records regarding
Participants and Designated Beneficiaries’ benefits hereunder;




          (c) To compute and certify to the Company the amount and kinds of benefits payable to
Participants and Designated Beneficiaries and to determine the time and manner in which such
benefits are to be paid;




          (d) To authorize all disbursements by the Company pursuant to the Plan;




          (e) To maintain all the necessary records of the administration of the Plan;




          (f) To make and publish such rules for the regulation of the Plan as are not inconsistent with
the terms hereof




          (g) To delegate to other individuals or entities from time to time the performance of any of
its duties or responsibilities hereunder;




10
