BENEFITS

 

2.1                                 Eligibility for Benefits.  Upon the Participant’s termination of
employment by the Employer without Cause, subject to Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5
below, the Participant shall be entitled to a Severance Benefit under the Plan
equal to the Participant’s Base Pay multiplied by the Applicable Percentage;

Benefit shall be reduced by 35% of the Stay Bonus paid to such Participant
under the Superior TeleCom Inc. Key Employee Retention Plan prior to such
termination, but not below zero and (b) a Tier II Participant’s Severance
Benefit shall be reduced by 25% of the Stay Bonus paid to such Participant
under the Superior TeleCom Inc. Key Employee Retention Plan prior to such
termination, but not below zero.  A
Participant shall not be entitled to a Severance Benefit if the Participant’s
employment is terminated (i) by the Employer for Cause, (ii) by the Participant
for any reason, or (iii) on account of the Participant’s retirement, death or
Disability.  The maximum aggregate
amount of Severance Benefits paid under the Plan shall not exceed $1,349,000 to
all Participants in Tier I, $4,248,000 to all Participants in Tier II and
$5,500,000 to all Participants in Tiers III, IV and V.

 

2.2                                 Form of Benefit.  Any Participant entitled to a Severance
Benefit pursuant to Sections 2.1 shall receive such benefit in the form of a
lump sum payable in cash within ten (10) business days (or at such earlier time
as required by applicable law) following his or her termination of employment
by the Employer without Cause.

 

2.3                                 No Duty to Mitigate/Set-off.  No Participant entitled to receive a
Severance Benefit hereunder shall be required to seek other employment or to
attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to him or her pursuant to this
Plan.  Further, the amount of the
Severance Benefit payable hereunder shall not be reduced by any compensation
earned by the Participant as a result of employment by another employer or
otherwise.  Except as provided herein,
the amounts payable hereunder shall not be subject to setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which the Employer may have against the
Participant or others, including without limitation, any severance or
termination benefits provided under any other agreement, plan, program or
arrangement maintained or sponsored by the Employer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any termination payments made
to a Participant by the Employer are related to an actual or potential
liability under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) or
similar law, such amounts shall reduce (offset) the Participant’s Severance
Benefit under this Plan.  In the event
of the Participant’s breach of any provision hereunder, including without
limitation, Sections 2.4 and 2.5, the Company shall be entitled to recover any
payments previously made to the Participant hereunder to the maximum extent
permitted by law.

 

2.4                                 Release Required.  Any amounts payable pursuant to this Plan
shall only be payable if the Participant delivers to the Company a release of
all claims of any kind whatsoever that the Participant has or may have against
the Employer and its affiliates and their officers,

 

3

 

directors and
employees known or unknown as of the date of his or her termination of
employment (other than claims to payments specifically provided hereunder,
claims under COBRA, claims to vested accrued benefits under the Employer’s
tax-qualified employee benefit plans, claims for reimbursement under the
Company’s executive medical reimbursement program for any unreimbursed medical
expenses incurred on or before the Participant’s date of termination, claims
for unreimbursed business expenses in accordance with the Company’s policy or
rights of indemnification or contribution to which the Participant was entitled
under the Company’s By-laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or
otherwise with regard to the Participant’s service as an employee, officer or
director of the Company) occurring up to the release date in such form as
reasonably requested by the Company.

 

2.5                                 Restrictive Covenants.

 

(a)                                  Non-Competition.  As a condition of the receipt of any
Severance Benefit by any Tier I Participant or Tier II Participant, the
Participant agrees that so long as he or she is employed by the Employer and
for the one year period following his or her termination of employment for any
reason, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior
written consent of the Employer, enter into Competition with the Employer.  “Competition” means participating, directly
or indirectly, as an individual proprietor, partner, stockholder, officer,
employee, director, joint venturer, investor, lender, consultant or in any
capacity whatsoever with or for any business in competition with and in the
same geographic area as any business conducted by the Employer, with regard to
which the Participant had responsibilities or had access to confidential
information, while employed by the Employer; provided, however, that
Competition shall not include participating, directly or indirectly, in any
capacity whatsoever for any entity which has an agreement with the Company
permitting it to compete with the Company.

 

(b)                                 Confidentiality.  As a condition of the receipt of any
Severance Benefit, the Participant is deemed to agree and understand that he or
she will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Employer all
secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Employer,
and their respective businesses, which will have been obtained by the
Participant during his or her employment by the Employer and which will not be
or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Participant or his or her
representatives in violation of this Section 2.5(b)).  The Participant will not, except as may be required to perform
his or her duties for the Employer or as may otherwise be required by law or
legal process, without limitation in time or until such information will have
become public or known in the Employer’s industry (other than by acts by the
Participant or his or her representatives in violation of this Section 2.5(b)),
communicate or divulge to others or use, whether directly or indirectly, any
such information, knowledge or data regarding the Employer, and their
respective businesses.

 

(c)                                  Non-Solicitation of Customers.  The Participant further agrees that so long
as he or she is employed by the Employer and for the one year period following
his or her termination of employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”),
he or she will not, directly or indirectly, influence or attempt to influence
customers or suppliers of the Employer to divert their business to any competitor
of the Employer.

 

4

 

(d)                                 Non-Solicitation of Employees.  The Participant further agrees that during
the Restricted Period, he or she will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or
recruit any non-administrative or non-clerical employee of the Employer for the
purpose of being employed by the Participant or by any competitor of the
Employer on whose behalf the Participant is acting as an agent, representative
or employee and that the Participant will not convey any such confidential
information or trade secrets about other employees of the Employer to any other
person.

 

(e)                                  Injunctive Relief.  As a condition of the receipt of any
Severance Benefit, it is further expressly agreed that the Employer will or
would suffer irreparable injury if the Participant were to compete with the
Employer in violation of this Section 2.5 and that the Employer would by reason
of such Competition be entitled to injunctive relief in a court of appropriate
jurisdiction and the Participant further consents and stipulates to the entry
of such injunctive relief in such court prohibiting him or her from competing
with the Employer in violation of this Section 2.5.

 

(f)                                    Survival of Provisions.  The obligations contained in this Section 2.5
will survive the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer
and will be fully enforceable thereafter. 
If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state
that any restriction in these restrictive covenants is excessive in duration or
scope or extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of
activities or in too broad a geographic area or is unreasonable or
unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties
that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it
enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state or
jurisdiction.

 

ARTICLE III.

FUNDING

 

This Plan shall be funded out of the general assets of the Company as
and when benefits are payable under this Plan. 
All Participants shall be solely unsecured creditors of the Company and,
if a bankruptcy proceeding of the Company is pending, the Participants shall be
solely unsecured creditors of the Company with administrative priority.  If the Company decides in its sole discretion
to establish any advance accrued reserve on its books against the future
expense of benefits payable hereunder, or if the Company decides in its sole
discretion to fund a trust under this Plan, such reserve or trust shall not
under any circumstances be deemed to be an asset of this Plan.

 

ARTICLE IV.

4.1                                 Plan Administrator.  The general administration of the Plan on

4.2                                 Reimbursement of Expenses of Plan Committee.  The Company shall pay or reimburse the

with their duties hereunder.

 

4.3                                 Action by the Plan Committee.  Decisions of the Committee shall be made by
a majority of its members attending a meeting at which a quorum is present
(which meeting may be held telephonically), or by written action in accordance

Committee shall have the authority to determine a Participant’s participation
and benefits under the Plan and to interpret and construe the provisions of the
Plan.

 

4.4                                 Delegation of Authority.  The Committee may delegate any and all of
its powers and responsibilities hereunder to other persons by formal resolution
filed with and accepted by the Board. 
Any such delegation shall not be effective until it is accepted by the
Board and the persons designated and may be rescinded at any time by written
notice from the Committee to the person to whom the delegation is made.

 

4.5                                 Retention of Professional Assistance.  The Committee may employ such legal counsel,

4.7                                 Claims/Disputes Procedure.

 

(a)                                  Any
claim by a Participant or beneficiary (“Claimant”) with respect to eligibility,
participation, contributions, benefits or other aspects of the operation of the
Plan shall be made in writing to the Committee. The Committee shall provide the
Claimant with the necessary forms and make all determinations as to the right
of any person to a disputed benefit.  If
a Claimant is denied benefits under the Plan, the Committee or its designee
shall notify the Claimant in writing of the denial of the claim within 90 days
(such period may be extended to 180 days) after the Plan receives the claim,
provided that in the event of special circumstances such period may be
extended.

 

(b)                                 If
the initial 90 day period is extended, the Committee or its designee shall,
within 90 days of receipt of the claim, notify the Claimant in writing of such
extension.  The written notice of
extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of
time and provide the date by which the Committee expects to make a
determination with respect to the claim. 
If the extension is required due to the Claimant’s failure to submit
information necessary to decide the claim, the period for making the
determination will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is
sent to the Claimant until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Claimant
responds to the Plan’s request for information or (ii) expiration of the 45 day
period commencing on the date that the Claimant is notified that the requested
additional information must be

 

6

 

provided.  If notice of the denial
of a claim is not furnished within the required time period described herein,
the claim shall be deemed denied as of the last day of such period.

 

(c)                                  If
the claim is wholly or partially denied, the notice to the Claimant shall set
forth:

 

(i)                                     the specific
reason or reasons for the denial;

 

(ii)                                  specific reference to
pertinent Plan provisions upon 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;

 

(iv)                              appropriate information
as to the steps to be taken and the applicable time limits if the Claimant
wishes to submit the adverse determination for review; and

 

(v)                                 a statement of the
Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under            Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse
determination on review (collectively, the “Notice Requirements”).

 

(d)                                 If
the claim has been denied, the Claimant may submit the claim for review.  Any request for review of a claim must be
made in writing to the Committee no later than 60 days after the Claimant
receives notification of denial or, if no notification was provided, the date
the claim is deemed denied.  The claim
will then be reviewed by the Committee. 
The Claimant or his duly authorized representative may:

 

(i)                                     upon request and
free of charge, be provided with access to, and copies of, relevant documents,
records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim; and

 

(ii)                                  submit written
comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim.  The review of the claim determination shall
take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information
submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such
information was submitted or considered in the initial claim determination.

 

(e)                                  The
decision of the Committee shall be made within 60 days (such period may be
extended to 120 days)  after receipt of
the Claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances require an
extension.

 

(f)                                    If
the initial 60 day period is extended, the Committee or its designee shall,
within 60 days of receipt of the claim, notify the Claimant in writing of such

 

7

 

extension.  The written notice
of extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of
time and provide the date by which the Committee expects to make a
determination with respect to the claim. 
If the extension is required due to the Claimant’s failure to submit
information necessary to decide the claim, the period for making the
determination will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is
sent to the Claimant until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Claimant
responds to the Plan’s request for information or (ii) expiration of the 45 day
period commencing on the date that the Claimant is notified that the requested
additional information must be provided. If notice of the denial of a claim is
not furnished within the required time period described herein, the claim shall
be deemed denied as of the last day of such period.

 

(g)                                 If
an extension of time is required, the Claimant shall be notified in writing of
such extension.  The written notice of
extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of
time and the date by which the Committee expects to make a determination with
respect to the claim.  If the extension
is required due to the Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to
decide the claim on review, the period for making the determination will be
tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent to the Claimant
until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Claimant responds to the Plan’s
request for information or (ii) expiration of the 45-day period commencing on
the date that the Claimant is notified that the requested additional
information must be provided.  In any
event, a decision shall be rendered not later than 120 days after receipt of
the request for review.  If notice of
the decision upon review is not furnished within the required time period
described herein, the claim on review shall be deemed denied as of the last day
of such period.

 

(h)                                 The
Committee’s decision on the Claimant’s claim for review will be communicated to
the Claimant in writing.  If the claim
on review is denied, the notice to the Claimant shall provide 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 claim, and also set forth the Notice Requirements
(other than subsection (c)(iv)).

 

(i)                                     The
claims procedures set forth in this section are intended to comply with U.S.
Department of Labor Regulation § 2560.503-1 and should be construed in
accordance with such regulation.  In no
event shall it be interpreted as expanding the rights of Claimants beyond what
is required by U.S. Dept. of Labor § 2560.503-1.

 

(j)                                     A
Claimant shall not be required to exhaust all administrative remedies under
this Section 4.7 prior to commencing any action in Federal court.

 

4.8                                 Indemnification.  The Committee, its members and any person
designated pursuant to Section 4.4 above shall not be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan.  The Company shall, to the extent permitted
by law, by the purchase of insurance or otherwise, indemnify and hold harmless
each member of the Committee and each director, officer and employee of the
Company for liabilities or expenses they and each

 

8

 

of them incur
in carrying out their respective duties under this Plan, other than for any
liabilities or expenses arising out of such individual’s willful misconduct or
fraud.

 

ARTICLE V.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate, in whole or in

ARTICLE VI.

For purposes of this Plan, the Company shall include any and all
successors and assignees, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets

obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had
taken place.  In such event, the term
“Company”, as used in this Plan, shall mean the Company, as hereinbefore
defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason

ARTICLE II.

BENEFITS

 

2.1           Eligibility for Benefits.  Upon the Participant’s termination of
employment by the Employer without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason
during the period commencing on the date of the Change in Control and ending on
the first anniversary thereof then, subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 below, the
Participant shall be entitled to a Severance Benefit under the Plan equal to
the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the sum of the Participant’s Base Pay
and Target Performance Bonus.  The
Severance Benefit under the Plan shall be in lieu of any benefit under the
Superior TeleCom Inc. Severance Pay Plan and by accepting any payment hereunder,
a Participant forfeits all rights under the Superior TeleCom Inc. Severance Pay
Plan.  A Participant shall not be
entitled to a Severance Benefit if the Participant’s employment is terminated
(i) by the Employer for Cause, (ii) by the Participant without Good Reason, or
(iii) on account of the Participant’s retirement, death or Disability.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the maximum aggregate amount of Severance Benefits paid under the
Plan shall not exceed $4,340,000.

 

2.2           Form of Benefit.  Any Participant entitled to a Severance
Benefit pursuant to Sections 2.1 shall receive such benefit in the form of a
lump sum payable in cash, for payments arising pursuant to Section 2.1(a),
within 5 business days (or at such earlier time as required by applicable law)
following a termination of employment by the Employer without Cause or by the
Participant for Good Reason or, for payments arising pursuant Section 2.1(b),
on or before the consummation of the Change in Control.

 

2.3           Excise Tax.  In the event that the Participant becomes entitled to payments
and/or benefits which would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning
of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, the provisions of Appendix B shall apply.

 

2.4           No Duty to Mitigate/Set-off.  No Participant entitled to receive a Severance
Benefit hereunder shall be required to seek other employment or to attempt in
any way to reduce any amounts payable to him or her pursuant to this Plan.  Further, the amount of the Severance Benefit
payable hereunder shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Participant as a result of employment by another employer or otherwise.  Except as provided herein, the amounts
payable hereunder shall not be subject to setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which the Employer may have against the Participant or
others, including without limitation, any severance or termination benefits
provided under any other agreement, plan, program or arrangement maintained or
sponsored by the Employer.  Notwithstanding
the 

 

4

 

foregoing, if
any termination payments made to a Participant by the Employer are related to
an actual or potential liability under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act (WARN) or similar law, such amounts shall reduce (offset) the
Participant’s Severance Benefit under this Plan.  In the event of the Participant’s breach of any provision
hereunder, including without limitation, Sections 2.4 and 2.5, the Company
shall be entitled to recover any payments previously made to the Participant
hereunder.

 

2.5           Release Required.  Any amounts payable pursuant to this Plan
shall only be payable if the Participant delivers to the Company a release of
all claims of any kind whatsoever that the Participant has or may have against
the Employer and its affiliates and their officers, directors and employees
known or unknown as of the date of his or her termination of employment (other
than claims to payments specifically provided hereunder, claims under COBRA,
claims to vested accrued benefits under the Employer’s tax-qualified employee
benefit plans, claims for reimbursement under the Company’s executive medical
reimbursement program for any unreimbursed medical expenses incurred on or
before the Participant’s date of termination, claims for unreimbursed business
expenses in accordance with the Company’s policy or rights of indemnification
or contribution to which the Participant was entitled under the Company’s
By-laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise with regard to
the Participant’s service as an employee, officer or director of the Company)
occurring up to the release date in such form as reasonably requested by the
Company.

 

ARTICLE III.

FUNDING

 

This Plan shall be funded out of the general assets of the Company as
and when benefits are payable under this Plan. 
All Participants shall be solely unsecured creditors of the Company and,
if a bankruptcy proceeding of the Company is pending, the Participants shall be
solely unsecured creditors of the Company with administrative priority.  If the Company decides in its sole
discretion to establish any advance accrued reserve on its books against the
future expense of benefits payable hereunder, or if the Company decides in its
sole discretion to fund a trust under this Plan, such reserve or trust shall
not under any circumstances be deemed to be an asset of this Plan.

 

ARTICLE IV.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

4.1           Plan Administrator.  The general administration of the Plan on
behalf of the Company (as plan administrator under Section 3(16)(A) of ERISA)

(which meeting may

 

5

 

 

be held telephonically),
or by written action in accordance with applicable law.  Subject to the terms of this Plan and
provided that the Committee acts in good faith, the Committee shall have the
authority to determine a Participant’s participation and benefits under the
Plan and to interpret and construe the provisions of the Plan.

 

4.4           Delegation of Authority.  The Committee may delegate any and all of
its powers and responsibilities hereunder to other persons by formal resolution
filed with and accepted by the Board. 
Any such delegation shall not be effective until it is accepted by the
Board and the persons designated and may be rescinded at any time by written
notice from the Committee to the person to whom the delegation is made.

 

4.5           Retention of Professional Assistance.  The Committee may employ such legal counsel,
accountants and other persons as may be required in carrying out its work in

4.7           Claims/Disputes Procedure.

 

(a)           Any
claim by a Participant or beneficiary (“Claimant”) with respect to eligibility,
participation, contributions, benefits or other aspects of the operation of the
Plan shall be made in writing to the Committee. The Committee shall provide the
Claimant with the necessary forms and make all determinations as to the right
of any person to a disputed benefit.  If
a Claimant is denied benefits under the Plan, the Committee or its designee
shall notify the Claimant in writing of the denial of the claim within 90 days
(such period may be extended to 180 days) after the Plan receives the claim,
provided that in the event of special circumstances such period may be
extended.

 

(b)           If
the initial 90 day period is extended, the Committee or its designee shall,
within 90 days of receipt of the claim, notify the Claimant in writing of such
extension.  The written notice of
extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of
time and provide the date by which the Committee expects to make a
determination with respect to the claim. 
If the extension is required due to the Claimant’s failure to submit
information necessary to decide the claim, the period for making the
determination will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is
sent to the Claimant until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Claimant
responds to the Plan’s request for information or (ii) expiration of the 45 day
period commencing on the date that the Claimant is notified that the requested
additional information must be provided. 
If notice of the denial of a claim is not furnished within the required
time period described herein, the claim shall be deemed denied as of the last
day of such period.

 

(c)           If
the claim is wholly or partially denied, the notice to the Claimant shall set
forth:

 

6

 

(i)            the specific reason or reasons for the
denial;

 

(ii)           specific reference to pertinent Plan
provisions upon 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;

 

(iv)          appropriate information as to the steps to be
taken and the applicable time limits if the Claimant wishes to submit the
adverse determination for review; and

 

(v)           a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring
a civil action under            Section
502(a) of ERISA following an adverse determination on review (collectively, the
“Notice Requirements”).

 

(d)           If
the claim has been denied, the Claimant may submit the claim for review.  Any request for review of a claim must be
made in writing to the Committee no later than 60 days after the Claimant
receives notification of denial or, if no notification was provided, the date
the claim is deemed denied.  The claim
will then be reviewed by the Committee. 
The Claimant or his duly authorized representative may:

 

(i)            upon request and free of charge, be
provided with access to, and copies of, relevant documents, records, and other
information relevant to the Claimant’s claim; and

 

(ii)           submit written comments, documents, records,
and other information relating to the claim. 
The review of the claim determination shall take into account all
comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant
relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted
or considered in the initial claim determination.

 

(e)           The
decision of the Committee shall be made within 60 days (such period may be
extended to 120 days)  after receipt of
the Claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances require an
extension.

 

(f)            If
the initial 60 day period is extended, the Committee or its designee shall,
within 60 days of receipt of the claim, notify the Claimant in writing of such
extension.  The written notice of
extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of
time and provide the date by which the Committee expects to make a
determination with respect to the claim. 
If the extension is required due to the Claimant’s failure to submit
information necessary to decide the claim, the period for making the
determination will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is
sent to the Claimant until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Claimant
responds to the

 

7

 

Plan’s request for information or (ii) expiration of the 45 day period
commencing on the date that the Claimant is notified that the requested
additional information must be provided. If notice of the denial of a claim is
not furnished within the required time period described herein, the claim shall
be deemed denied as of the last day of such period.

 

(g)           If
an extension of time is required, the Claimant shall be notified in writing of
such extension.  The written notice of
extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of
time and the date by which the Committee expects to make a determination with
respect to the claim.  If the extension
is required due to the Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to
decide the claim on review, the period for making the determination will be
tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent to the Claimant
until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Claimant responds to the Plan’s request
for information or (ii) expiration of the 45-day period commencing on the date
that the Claimant is notified that the requested additional information must be
provided.  In any event, a decision
shall be rendered not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for
review.  If notice of the decision upon
review is not furnished within the required time period described herein, the
claim on review shall be deemed denied as of the last day of such period.

 

(h)           The
Committee’s decision on the Claimant’s claim for review will be communicated to
the Claimant in writing.  If the claim
on review is denied, the notice to the Claimant shall provide 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 claim, and also set forth the Notice Requirements
(other than subsection (c)(iv)).

 

(i)            The
claims procedures set forth in this section are intended to comply with U.S.
Department of Labor Regulation § 2560.503-1 and should be construed in
accordance with such regulation.  In no
event shall it be interpreted as expanding the rights of Claimants beyond what
is required by U.S. Dept. of Labor § 2560.503-1.

 

(j)            A
Claimant shall not be required to exhaust all administrative remedies under
this Section 4.7 prior to commencing any action in Federal court.

 

4.8           Indemnification.  The Committee, its members and any person
designated pursuant to Section 4.4 above shall not be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan.  The Company shall, to the extent permitted
by law, by the purchase of insurance or otherwise, indemnify and hold harmless
each member of the Committee and each director, officer and employee of the
Company for liabilities or expenses they and each of them incur in carrying out
their respective duties under this Plan, other than for any liabilities or
expenses arising out of such individual’s willful misconduct or fraud.

eighteen-month anniversary of the Plan Effective Date.

 

ARTICLE VI.

SUCCESSORS

 

For purposes of this Plan, the Company shall include any and all
successors and assignees, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets
of the Company and such successors and assignees shall perform the Company’s
obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had
taken place.  In such event, the term
“Company”, as used in this Plan, shall mean the Company, as hereinbefore
defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason
hereof becomes bound by the terms and provisions of this Plan.

(a)           In
the event any payment that is either received by the Participant or paid by the
Employer on his or her behalf or any property or any other benefit provided to
him or her under this Plan or under any other plan, arrangement or agreement
with the Employer or any other person whose payments or benefits are treated as
contingent on a change of ownership or control of the Company (or in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company) or any person
affiliated with the Company or such person (but only if such payment or other
benefit is in connection with the Participant’s employment by the Company)
(collectively the “Company Payments”), will be subject to the tax (the “Excise
Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may
hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority), then the Participant shall be
entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount
such that after payment by the Participant of all taxes (including any interest
or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without
limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with
respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the
Participant retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
imposed upon the Company Payments. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it shall be determined that the
Participant is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Company Payments do
not exceed 110% of the greatest amount (the “Reduced Amount”) that could be
paid to the Participant such that the receipt of Company Payments would not
give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the
Participant and the Company Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the
Reduced Amount.

 

(b)           For
purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments will be subject to
the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) the Company Payments
shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base
amount” (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated
as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the
opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior
to any Change in Control or tax counsel selected by such accountants or the
Company (the “Accountants”) such Company Payments (in whole or in part) either
do not constitute “parachute payments,” represent reasonable compensation for
services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code
in excess of the “base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax,
and (ii) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit
shall be determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles of
Section 280G of the Code.  In the event
that the Accountants are serving as accountant or auditor for the individual,
entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Participant may appoint
another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations
hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the “Accountants”
hereunder).  All determinations
hereunder shall be made by the Accountants which shall provide detailed
supporting calculations both to the Company and the Participant at such time as
it is requested by the Company or the Participant.  The determination of the Accountants shall be binding upon the
Company and the Participant.

 

 

(c)           The
Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountant.
