Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan and be granted an option for
the Offering Period commencing on such Offering Date.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any provisions of the

4.             Grant of Option;
Participation:  Price.

 

(a)           On each Offering Date, the Company
shall commence an offering by granting each eligible Employee an option to
purchase Shares, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(b) and 10
hereof.

 

(b)           Each eligible Employee may elect to
become a Participant in the Plan with respect to an Offering Period, by filing
an agreement with his or her Employer authorizing payroll deductions of 1 to 15 percent
in accordance with Section 5 hereof. 
Such authorization will remain in effect for subsequent Offering Periods,
until modified or terminated by the Participant by giving written notice to his
or her Employer prior to the next occurring Exercise Date.  Additionally, a Participant may participate
to a greater extent by making cash payments in accordance with Section 5
hereof.  Total payroll deduction and cash
contribution by a participant may not exceed $10,625.00 per Offering Period.

 

(c)           The option price per Share subject to
an offering shall be the lesser of eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the Offering Date and eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the Exercise Date.

 

5.             Payroll Deductions and Cash
Payments.  Subject to Section 4(b)
hereof, a Participant may, in accordance with rules and procedures adopted by
the Committee, authorize a payroll deduction of any whole percentage from 1
percent to 15 percent of such Participant’s Compensation each pay period (the
permissible range within such percentages to be determined by the Committee
from time to time).  A Participant may
increase or decrease such payroll deduction (including a cessation of payroll
deductions) at any time but not more frequently than once each Offering Period,
by filing a new authorization form with his or her Employer.  Additionally, a Participant may participate to a greater
extent by making a cash contribution.  All payroll deductions and cash contributions
made by a Participant shall be credited to such Participant’s account under the
Plan.  Total payroll deduction and cash contribution by a
Participant may not exceed $10,625.00 per Offering Period.

 

6.             Exercise of Option.

 

(a)           Unless a Participant withdraws from
the Plan as provided in Section 8 hereof, or unless the Committee otherwise
provides, such Participant’s election to purchase Shares shall be exercised
automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of Shares subject to
such option will be purchased for such Participant at the applicable option
price with accumulated payroll deductions and any additional cash payments made
by the Participant in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

 

5

 

(b)           Any cash balance remaining in a
Participant’s account after the termination of an Offering Period will be
carried forward to the Participant’s account for the purchase of Shares during
the next Offering Period if the Participant has elected to continue to
participate in the Plan.  Otherwise, the
Participant will receive a refund equal to the cash balance of his or her
account.

 

(c)           The Shares purchased upon exercise of
an option hereunder shall be credited to the Participant’s account under the
Plan as of the Exercise Date and shall be deemed to be transferred to the
Participant on such date.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Participant shall have all rights of a
shareholder with respect to such Shares upon their being credited to the
Participant’s account.

 

7.             Delivery of Shares.

 

(a)           As promptly as practicable after
receipt by the Company of a written request for Shares from any Participant,
the Company shall arrange the delivery to such Participant of a share
certificate representing the Shares to which the Participant is entitled and
which the Participant requests.  Subject
to Section 7(b) hereof, requests for Shares may be made no more frequently than
once each Offering Period.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in Section
7(a) hereof to the contrary, Shares may be requested by a Participant more than
once during an Offering Period upon the prior approval of the Committee, in its
sole discretion.

 

8.             Withdrawal, Termination of
Employment.

 

(a)           A Participant may request at any time
all, but not less than all, cash amounts withheld under the Plan that have not
been used to purchase Shares (including, without limitation, the payroll deductions
and cash payments made by such Participant pursuant to this Plan) by giving
written notice to the Company prior to the next occurring Exercise Date.  All such payroll deductions and cash
payments made by a Participant pursuant to this Plan shall be paid to such
Participant promptly after receipt of such Participant’s request, and such
Participant’s option for the Offering Period in which the request occurs shall
be automatically terminated.  No further
payroll deductions for the purchase of Shares will be made for such Participant
during such Offering Period.

 

(b)           Upon termination of a Participant’s
continuous status as an Employee during the Offering Period for any reason,
including voluntary termination or termination due to disability or retirement,
the payroll deductions and cash payments made by a Participant pursuant to this
Plan that have not been used to purchase Shares shall be returned to such
Participant or, in the case of such Participant’s death, to the person or
persons entitled thereto under Section 12 hereof, and such Participant’s option
will be automatically terminated.

 

(c)           A Participant’s withdrawal from an
offering will not have any effect upon such Participant’s eligibility to
participate in a succeeding offering or in any similar plan which may hereafter
be adopted by the Company.

 

6

 

9.             Dividends and Interest.

 

(a)           Cash dividends paid on Shares
purchased pursuant to this Plan shall be promptly paid to such Participant in
cash.  Dividends paid in property other
than cash, in Shares or in share splits of the Shares shall be distributed to
Participants as soon as practicable.

 

(b)           No interest shall accrue on or be
payable with respect to the payroll deductions or cash payments made by a
Participant pursuant to this Plan.

 

10.           Shares.

 

(a)           The maximum number of Shares which
shall be reserved for sale under the Plan shall be 200,000 Shares, which number
shall be subject to adjustment upon Changes in Capitalization of the Company as
provided in Section 16 hereof.  Such
Shares shall be either authorized and unissued Shares or Shares which have been
reacquired by the Company.  If the total
number of Shares which would otherwise be subject to options granted pursuant
to Section 4(a) hereof on an Offering Date exceeds the number of Shares then
available under the Plan (after deduction of all Shares for which options have
been exercised or are then outstanding), the Committee shall make a pro rata
allocation of the Shares remaining available for option grant in as uniform a
manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.  In such event, the Committee shall give
written notice to each Participant of such reduction of the number of option
Shares affected thereby and shall similarly reduce the rate of payroll
deductions, if necessary.

 

(b)           Shares to be delivered to a
Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant
or, at the election of the Participant, in the name of the Participant and
another person as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.

 

11.           Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee and the Committee may select administrator(s) to whom its duties and
responsibilities hereunder may be delegated. 
The Committee shall have full power and authority, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, to promulgate such rules and regulations as it deems
necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, to interpret the
provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan, and to take all action
in connection therewith or in relation thereto as it deems necessary or
advisable.  Any decision reduced to
writing and signed by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be fully
effective as if it had been made at a meeting duly held.  Except as otherwise provided by the
Committee, each Employer shall be charged with all expenses incurred in the
administration of the Plan with respect to such Employer’s Employees.  No member of the committee shall be
personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good
faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Committee shall be fully
indemnified by the Company with respect to any such action, determination or
interpretation.  All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding
on all persons, including the Company, the Participant (or any person claiming
any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant) and any shareholder.

 

7

 

12.           Designation of Beneficiary.

 

(a)           A Participant must file with the
Company, on forms supplied by the Company, a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and cash to which the Participant is
entitled under the Plan in the event of the Participant’s death.

 

(b)           Such designation of beneficiary may
be changed by the Participant at any time by giving written notice to the
Company, on forms supplied by the Company. 
In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a
beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such
Participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such Shares and/or cash to the
executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant or, if no such
executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company),
the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to the
spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant in
accordance with the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or if no
spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other
person as the Company may designate.

 

13.           Transferability.  Neither payroll deductions nor cash payments
made by a Participant pursuant to this Plan nor any rights with regard to the
exercise of an option or to receive Shares under the Plan may be assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant
(other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in
Section 12 hereof).  Any such attempt at
assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect,
except that the Company may treat such act as an election to request funds in
accordance with Section 8 hereof.

 

14.           Use of Funds.  All payroll deductions and additional cash
payments received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the
Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to
segregate such funds.

 

15.           Reports.  Individual reports will be generated for
each Participant in the Plan.  Such
reports will be given to Participants as soon as practicable following each
Offering Period, which reports will set forth the amounts of payroll
deductions, additional cash payments, the per Share purchase price, the number
of Shares purchased, the aggregate Shares in the Participant’s account and the
remaining cash balance, if any.

 

16.           Effect of Certain Changes.  In the event of a Change in Capitalization
or the distribution of an extraordinary dividend, the Committee shall
conclusively determine the appropriate equitable adjustments, if any, to be
made under the Plan, including without limitation, adjustments to the number of
Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but have not yet
been placed under option, as well as the price per Share covered by each option
under the Plan which has not yet been exercised.  In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, the Offering
Period shall terminate, unless otherwise provided by the Committee.

 

8

 

17.           Term of Plan.  Subject to the Board’s right to discontinue
the Plan (and thereby end its Term) pursuant to Section 18 hereof, the Term of
the Plan (and its last Offering Period) shall end on January 1, 2010.  Upon any discontinuance of the Plan, unless
the Committee shall determine otherwise, any assets remaining in the
Participants’ accounts under the Plan shall be delivered to the respective
Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative) as soon as practicable.

 

18.           Amendment to and Discontinuance of
Plan.  The Board may at any time
amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan. 
Except as provided in Section 16 hereof, no such suspension or
discontinuance may adversely affect options previously granted and no amendment
may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects
the rights of any Participant which accrued prior to the date of effectiveness
of such amendment without the consent of such Participant.  No amendment shall be effective unless it
receives the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company if such
shareholder approval of such amendment is required to comply with Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act, Section 423 of the Code or to comply with any other
applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule.

 

19.           Notices.  All notices or other communications by a
Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed
to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at
the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt
thereof.

 

20.           Regulations and Other Approvals;
Governing Law.

 

(a)           This Plan and the rights of all
persons claiming hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the choice of law
principles thereof, except to the extent that such law is preempted by federal
law.

 

(b)           The obligation of the Company to sell
or deliver Shares with respect to options granted under the Plan shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable
federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by
governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Committee.

 

(c)           To the extent applicable hereto, the
Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the
Committee shall interpret and administer the Plan in a manner consistent
therewith.  Any provisions inconsistent
with such Rule shall be inoperative and shall not affect the validity of the
Plan.

 

21.           Withholding of Taxes.  If the Participant makes a disposition,
within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code and regulations promulgated
thereunder, of any Share or Shares issued to such Participant pursuant to such
Participant’s exercise of an option, and such disposition occurs within the
two-year period commencing on the day after the Offering Date or within the
one-year period commencing on the day after the Exercise Date, such Participant
shall, within ten (10) days of such disposition, notify the Company thereof and

 

9

amounts which the Company informs the Participant the Company is required to
withhold.

1.                                       OTHER
QUALIFIED PLANS (Sections 7.3 and 7.4) 
If the Employer maintains or ever maintained another qualified plan in
which any Participant in this Plan is (or was) a Participant or could possibly
become a Participant, you must complete this section.  The Employer must also complete this Section if it maintains a
welfare benefit fund, as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code, or an
individual medical account, as defined in Section 415(1)(2) of the Code, under
which amounts are treated as annual additions with respect to any Participant
in this Plan.  (complete a and b):

 

(a)                                  The
Employer must complete this Section if a Participant is covered under another
qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, other than a
Master or Prototype Plan. (Complete 1, 2, or 3):

 

(1)                                             o        The provisions of Section 7.2 will
apply, as if the other plan was a Master or Prototype plan.

 

(2)                                              o        (Provide the method under which the
plans will limit total Annual Additions to the Maximum Permissible Amount, and
will properly reduce any Excess Amounts, in a manner that precludes Employer
discretion.)                                             .

 

(3)                                             ý        not applicable.

the Participant is or ever has been a Participant in a defined benefit plan
maintained by the Employer (complete 1, 2, or 3):

 

(1)                                             o        In any Limitation Year, the Annual
Additions credited to the participant under this Plan may not cause the sum of
the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction to
exceed 1.0. If the Participating Employer contributions that would otherwise be
allocated to the Participant’s Account during such year would cause the 1.0
limitations to be exceeded, the allocation will be reduced so that the sum of
the fractions equals 1.0.  Any contributions
not allocated because of the preceding sentence will be allocated to the
remaining Participants under the allocation formula under the plan.  If the 1.0 limitation is exceeded because of
an Excess Amount, such Excess Amount will be reduced in accordance with Section
7.1(d).

 

(2)                                             o        (Provide the method under which the plan
involved will satisfy the 1.0 limitation in a manner that precludes Employer
discretion.)                                      .

 

(3)                                             ý        not applicable.

consecutive 1 year Breaks In Service, the Plan Administrator shall maintain pre–break
and post–break subaccounts.

 

4.2  VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS:  On
each Valuation Date, the Plan Administrator shall determine the net increase or
decrease in the fair market value of the Trust Fund, excluding Insurance
Policies, individual Annuity Contracts, or allocated group Annuity Contracts,
and shall equitably allocate the result thereof to each Participant’s Account.  Such determination shall include realized
and unrealized gains and losses, investment income and losses, and applicable
expenses.  Subject to Sections 8.3 and
10.17, such realized and unrealized gains and losses shall be allocated on a
fair and equitable basis under a method specified by the Plan
Administrator.  A Participant’s interest
in an individual annuity contract or allocated group annuity contract shall be
determined at the annuity contract value and changes in such value shall be
allocated to the Account of such Participant. 
Such determinations, other than on the first Valuation Date, shall not
include contribution or forfeiture allocations.

Employee Contributions for any Plan Year shall be paid to the Trustee in one or
more installments as of the earliest date on which such contributions can
reasonably be segregated from the Participating Employer’s general assets, not

Participating Employer (in the case of amounts that a Participant or
beneficiary pays to an Employer) or the date on which such amounts would
otherwise have been payable to the Participant

withheld by the Participant’s wages), but in any event, not later than the end
of the twelve–month period immediately following the Plan Year to which
the contribution relates.  Employer
Matching, Qualified Non-Elective, and Employer Discretionary Contributions for
any Plan Year shall be paid to the Trustee in one or more installments not
later than the time prescribed by law (plus extensions) for tax deduction

VI – ALLOCATIONS

 

6.1    ALLOCATION OF PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND
FORFEITURES:  The Plan Administrator
shall allocate to the Employer Matching subaccount of each Participant eligible
for an allocation his portion (as specified in Exhibit 3) of the Employer’s
Matching Contribution.  Such allocation
shall be made for the period specified by the Plan Administrator.  Unless elected to reduce the next
Participating Employer contribution, forfeitures arising from Employer
Discretionary subaccounts shall be allocated to the remaining Participant’s
Employer Discretionary subaccount on the last day of the Plan Year, or more
frequently if permitted by the Plan Administrator, according to the allocation
formula specified in Exhibit 3. Employer Matching forfeitures shall be
allocated to all Participants who have an Employer Matching subaccount on the
last day of the Plan Year in which such amounts were forfeited and allocated to
such Participant’s subaccount based on the ratio the Participant’s Compensation
bears to the total compensation of all Participants.  Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Employer Discretionary
Contributions shall be allocated as of the last day of the Plan Year (or more
frequently if permitted by the Plan Administrator) in which attributable in
accordance with Exhibit 3.

 

6.2    ELIGIBILITY FOR ALLOCATION: 
Each Participant who meets the requirements of Exhibit 3 shall share in
any Qualified Non-Elective Contribution, the Employer Discretionary
Contribution, and any discretionary forfeiture allocation for such Plan
Year.  Unless otherwise stated in
Exhibit 3 of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant who is governed by a
Standardized Adoption Agreement must complete more than 500 Hours of Service
(1,000 Hours of Service prior to the first Plan Year beginning January 1, 1990,
or thereafter) in any applicable Plan Year in order to share in an allocation
for that year.  Unless otherwise stated
in Exhibit 3 of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant who is governed by a
Nonstandardized Adoption Agreement must complete 1,000 Hours of Service in any
applicable Plan Year in order to share in any allocation for that year.

 

6.3    ALLOCATION OF OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS:  Employee Contributions and Rollover Contributions shall be
allocated on the date received directly to the appropriate subaccount of the
Participant on whose behalf such contribution was made.  Salary Deferral Contributions are allocated
for the period specified by the Plan Administrator.

ARTICLE VII–LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS

 

7.1           LIMITATIONS ON PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS THAT DO NOT
MAINTAIN ANY OTHER QUALIFIED PLAN:

 

(a)           If
the Participant does not participate in, and has never participated in another
qualified plan, a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Section 419(e) of the
Code, or an individual medical account as defined in Section 415(1)(2) of the
Code, maintained by the Employer which provides an Annual Addition as defined
in Section 7.5, the amount of the Annual Addition which may be credited to the
Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year will not exceed the lesser of the
Maximum Permissible Amount or any other limitation contained In this Plan.  If the Employer contribution and the Salary
Deferral Contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the
Participant’s Account would cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year
to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the amount contributed or allocated
will be reduced so that the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year will equal
the Maximum Permissible Amount. 
Provided, however, an Annual Addition to a welfare benefit fund will be
deemed to have been allocated prior to any other allocation.

 

(b)           Prior
to determining the Participant’s actual Compensation and forfeitures for the
Limitation Year, the Employer may determine the Maximum Permissible Mount for a
Participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the Participant’s
Compensation or forfeitures for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for
all Participants similarly situated.

 

(c)           As
soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the
Maximum Permissible Mount for the Limitation Year will be determined on the
basis of actual forfeitures and the Participant’s actual Compensation and
forfeitures for the Limitation Year.

 

(d)           If
there is an Excess Amount due to paragraph (b), the excess will be disposed of
as follows:

 

(1)  Any Employee
Contributions, to the extent they would reduce the Excess Amount, will be
returned to the Participant;

 

(2)  If after the
application of (1) above an Excess Amount still exists, and the Participant is
covered by the Plan at the end of the Limitation Year, the Excess Amount in the
Participant’s Account will be used to reduce Employer contributions (including
any allocation of forfeitures) for such Participant in the next Limitation
Year, and each succeeding Limitation Year, if necessary;

 

(3)  If after the
application of (2) above an Excess Amount still exists, and the Participant is
not covered by the Plan at the end of the Limitation Year, the Excess Amount
will be held unallocated In a suspense account.  The suspense account will be applied to reduce future Employer
contributions (including allocation of any forfeitures) for all remaining
Participants in the next Limitation Year, and each succe­eding Limitation Year
if necessary;

 

(e)           If
a suspense account is in existence at any time during the Limitation Year
pursuant to this Section, it will not participate in the allocation of the
Trust’s investment gains and losses.

 

7.2           LIMITATIONS ON EMPLOYERS THAT MAINTAIN MORE THAN ONE
QUALIFIED PLAN ALL OF WHICH ARE QUALIFIED DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS:

 

(a)           This
Section applies if, in addition to this Plan, the Participant is covered under
another qualified Master or Prototype defined contribution plan or a welfare
fund, as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code, maintained by the Employer, or
an individual medical account, as defined in Section 415(1)(2) of the Code,
maintained by the Employer, which provides an Annual Addition as defined in
Section 7.5, during any Limitation Year. 
The Annual Additions which may be credited to a Participant’s Account
under this Plan for any such Limitation Year will not exceed the Maximum
Permissible Amount reduced by the Annual Additions credited to a participant’s
account under the other plans and welfare benefit funds for the same Limitation
Year.  If the Annual Additions with
respect to the Participant under other defined contribution plans maintained by
the Employer are less than the Maximum Permissible Amount and the Employer
contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the
Participant’s Account under this Plan would cause the Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year to exceed this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated
will be reduced so that the Annual Additions under all such plans and funds for
the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount.  If the Annual Additions with respect to the
Participant under such other defined contribution plans and welfare benefit
funds in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the Maximum Permissible
Amount, no amount will be contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account
under this Plan for the Limitation Year.

 

(b)           Prior
to determining the Participant’s actual Compensation and forfeitures for the
Limitation Year, the Employer may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for
a Participant in the manner described in Section 7.1(b).

 

(c)           As
soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the
Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year will be determined on the
basis of the Participant’s actual Compensation and forfeitures for the
Limitation Year.

 

13

 

(d)           If, pursuant to Section 7.2(c), a
Participant’s Annual Additions under this Plan and such other plans would
result in an Excess Amount for a Limitation Year, the Excess Amount will be
deemed to consist of the Annual Additions last allocated except that Annual
Additions attributable to a welfare benefit fund or individual medical account
will be deemed to have been allocated first regardless of the actual allocation
date.

 

(e)           If
an Excess Amount was allocated to a Participant on the last day of the Plan
Year of this Plan which coincides with the last day of the Plan Year of another
plan, the Excess Amount attributed to this Plan will be the product of,

 

(1)           the total Excess Amount allocated as
of such date, times

 

(2)           the ratio of (a) the Annual Additions
allocated to the Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date under this
Plan to (b) the total Annual Additions allocated to the Participant for the
Limitation Year as of such date under this and all the other qualified Master
or Prototype defined contribution plans.

 

(f)            Any
Excess Amounts attributed to this Plan shall be disposed in the manner
described in Section 7.1 (d).

 

7.3           LIMITATIONS ON PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS THAT MAINTAIN
QUALIFIED DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS OTHER THAN A MASTER OR PROTOTYPE PLAN: If the Participant is covered under another
qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer which is not a
Master or Prototype plan, Annual Additions which may be credited to the
Participant’s Account under this Plan for any Limitation Year will be limited
as specified in Exhibit 7 of the Adoption Agreement.

 

7.4           LIMITATIONS ON PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS THAT MAINTAIN A
QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN: If the Employer maintains, or at any time
maintained, a qualified defined benefit plan covering any Participant in this
Plan, the sum of the Participant’s Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and Defined
Contribution Plan Fraction will not exceed 1.0 in any Limitation Year.  The Annual Additions which may be credited
to the Participant’s Account under this Plan for any Limitation Year will be
limited in accordance with Exhibit 7 of the Adoption Agreement.

 

7.5           SPECIAL DEFINITIONS:

 

(a)           Annual
Additions:  The sum of the following
amounts credited to a Participant’s Account for the Limitation Year:

 

(1)  Salary Deferral Contributions including
excess contributions as defined in Section 401(k)(8)(B) of the Code, excess
aggregate contributions as defined in Section 401(m)(6)(B), and excess
deferrals as described in Section 402(g), regardless of whether such amounts
are distributed or forfeited;

 

(2)  All other Employer contributions;

 

(3)  forfeitures; and

 

(4)  the lesser of (i) one–half of the
Employee Contributions or (ii) the Employee Contributions in excess of 6% of
the Participant’s Compensation for the Limitation Year.  Effective the first Plan Year beginning in
1987, all Employee Contributions shall be considered.  However, the Annual Addition for any Limitation Year beginning
before January 1, 1987 shall not be recomputed to treat all Employee Contributions
as Annual Additions.

 

Amounts allocated after March 31, 1984 to an
individual medical account, as defined in Section 415(1)(1) of the Code, which
is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer, are treated as
Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan.  Also, amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after
December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending after such date, which are
attributable to post–retirement medical benefits allocated to the
separate account of a Key Employee, as defined in Section 419A(d)(3), under a
welfare benefit fund, as defined in Section 419(e), maintained by the Employer,
are treated as Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan.

 

For this purpose, any Excess Amount applied under
Section 7.1(d) or 7.2(f) in the Limitation Year to reduce Employer
contributions will be considered Annual Additions for such Limitation Year.

 

(b)           Compensation:  A Participant’s earned income, wages,
salaries, and fees for professional services and other amounts received for
personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the
Employer maintaining the Plan (including, but not limited to commissions,
compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions
on insurance premiums, tips and bonuses), and excluding the following:

 

(1)  Employer contributions to a plan of deferred
compensation which are not includible in the employee’s gross income for the
taxable year in which contributed, or Employer contributions under a simplified
employee pension plan to the extent such contributions are deductible by the
employee, or any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation:

 

14

 

(2)        Amounts realized from the exercise of a
non–qualified stock option, or when restricted stock (or property) held
by the employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture;

 

(3)        Amounts realized from the sale, exchange
or other disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock option; and

 

(4)        Other amounts which received special tax
benefits, or contributions made by the Employer (whether or not under a salary
reduction agreement) towards the purchase of an annuity described in Code
Section 403 (b) (whether or not the amounts are actually excludable from the
gross income of the employee).

 

For purposes of applying the limitations of this
Article.  Compensation for a Limitation
Year is the Compensation actually paid or includible in gross income during
such year.

 

(c)           Defined
Benefit Fraction: A fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
Participant’s Projected Annual Benefits under all the defined benefit plans
(whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer, and the denominator of
which is the lesser of 125% of the dollar limitation determined for the
Limitation Year under Sections 415(b) and (d) of the Code or 140% of the
Highest Average Compensation, including any adjustments under Section 415(b) of
the Code.

 

Notwithstanding the above, if the Participant was a
participant as of the first day of the first Limitation Year beginning after
December 31, 1986, in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by the
Employer which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the denominator of this fraction
will not be less than 125% of the sum of the annual benefits under such plans
which the Participant had accrued as of the close of the last Limitation Year
beginning before January 1, 1987, disregarding any changes in the terms and
conditions of the Plan after May 5, 1986. The preceding sentence applies only
if the defined benefit plans individually and in the aggregate satisfied the
requirements of Code Section 415 for all Limitation Years beginning before
January 1, 1987.

 

If the Plan satisfied the applicable requirements of
Section 415 of the Code as in effect for all Limitation Years beginning before
January 1, 1987, an amount shall be subtracted from the numerator of the
defined contribution plan fraction (not exceeding such numerator) as prescribed
by the Secretary of the Treasury so that the sum of the defined benefit plan
fraction and defined contribution plan fraction computed under Section
415(e)(1) of the Code does not exceed 1.0 for such Limitation Year.

 

(d)           Defined
Contribution Fraction:  A fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the Participant’s
Account under all the defined contribution plans (whether or not terminated)
maintained by the Employer for the current and all prior Limitation Years,
(including the Annual Additions attributable to the Participant’s non–deductible
employee contributions to all defined benefit plans, whether or not terminated,
maintained by the Employer, and the Annual Addition attributable to all welfare
benefit funds, as defined In Section 419(e) of the Code, and individual medical
accounts, as defined in Section 415(1)(2) of the Code, maintained by the
Employer), and the denominator of which is the sum of the Maximum Aggregate
Amounts for the current and all prior Limitation Years of service with the
Employer (regardless of whether a defined contribu­tion plan was maintained by
the Employer). The Maximum Aggregate Mount in any Limitation Year is the lesser
of 125% of the dollar limitation in effect under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) or
35% of the Participant’s Compensation for such year.

 

If the Employee was a Participant as of the end of the
first day of the first Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1986, in
one or more defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer which were in
existence on May 6, 1986, the numerator of this fraction will be adjusted if
the sum of this fraction and the defined benefit fraction would otherwise
exceed 1.0 under the terms of this Plan. 
Under the adjustment, an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess
of the sum of the fraction over 1.0 times (2) the denominator of this fraction,
will be permanently subtracted from the numerator of this fraction.  The adjustment is calculated using the
fractions as they would be computed as of the end of the last Limitation Year
beginning before January 1, 1987, and disregarding any changes in the terms and
conditions of the plan made after May 6, 1986, but using the Section 415
limitation applicable to the first Limitation Year beginning on or after January
1, 1987.

 

The Annual Addition for any limitation year beginning
before January 1, 1987, shall not be recomputed to treat all Employee
Contributions as Annual Additions.

 

(e)           Employer:    For purposes of this Article, Employer
shall mean the Employer that adopts this Plan, and all members of a controlled
group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code as modified by
Section 415(h), all commonly controlled trades or businesses (as defined in
Section 414(c) as modified by Section 415(h)) or affiliated service groups (as
defined in Section 414(m)) of which the adopting employer is a part, and any
other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to
regulations under Section 414(o) of the Code.

 

(f)            Excess
Mount:    The excess of the
Participant’s Annual Additions for the Limitation Year over the Maximum
Permissible Amount.

 

(g)           Highest
Average Compensation:    The Average
Compensation for the three consecutive years of service with the Participating
Employer that produces the highest average. 
A year of service with the Participating Employer is the 12–consecutive
month period defined in the Employer’s defined benefit plan.

 

15

 

(h)           Limitation
Year:    A Limitation Year shall be the
period selected in Exhibit 1. If the Employer has more than one qualified plan,
this Plan or the other plan shall be amended so that all qualified plans
maintained by the Employer must use the same Limitation Year.  If the Limitation Year is amended to a
different twelve-consecutive-month period, the new Limitation Year must begin
on a date within the Limitation Year in which the amendment is made.

 

(i)            Master
or Prototype Plan:    A plan the form of
which is the subject of a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue
Service.

 

(j)            Maximum
Permissible Amount:    The maximum
Annual Addition that may be contributed or allocated to a Partici­pant’s
Account under the Plan for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of:

 

(i)         the defined contribution dollar
limitation, or

(ii)        25% of the Participant’s compensation
for the Limitation Year.

 

The compensation limitation referred to in (ii) shall
not apply to any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of
Section 401(h) or Section 419A(f)(2) of the Code) which is otherwise treated as
an Annual Addition under Section 415(1)(1) or 419A(d)(2) of the Code.  The defined contribution dollar limitation
is the lesser of $30,000 (or if greater, one–fourth of the limitation in
Section 415(b)(1) of the Code). If a short Limitation Year is created because
of an amendment changing the Limitation Year to a different
twelve-consecutive-month period, the Maximum Permissible Amount will not exceed
the amount specified in Code Section 415(c)(1) multiplied by the following
fraction:

 

number of months in the short Limitation Year

12

 

(k)           Projected
Annual Benefit:  The annual retirement
benefit (adjusted to an actuarially equivalent straight life annuity if such
benefit is expressed in a form other than a straight life annuity or qualified
joint and survivor annuity) to which the Participant would be entitled under
the terms of the Plan assuming:

 

(1)           the Participant will continue
employment until Normal Retirement Age under the Plan (or current age, if later),
and

 

(2)           the Participant’s Compensation for
the current Limitation Year and all other relevant factors used to determine
benefits under the Plan will remain constant for all future Limitation Years.

ARTICLE
IX – INSURANCE POLICIES

 

9.1           PURCHASE OF INSURANCE POLICIES:  With the approval of the Plan Administrator, a Participant may
direct the Trustee to apply a portion of each contribution to the purchase of
an Insurance Policy.  The fact that any
Insurance Policy is issued on the life of a Participant shall not vest any
right, title, or interest in such Policy in the Participant except at the time
and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.  All Insurance Policies shall be issued and
all premiums shall be payable as of the Common Due Date.

 

The Plan Administrator may
direct the Trustee to invest a portion of the Trust Fund in an Insurance Policy
on the life of any Employee of a Participating Employer, in which case, the
investment shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the Trust Fund as a whole.

 

Each Insurance Policy shall be
issued by an Insurer selected by the Plan Administrator.  The Trustee shall be the applicant, owner,
and beneficiary of each Insurance Policy. 
As applicant, the Trustee shall execute any and all applications and
other documents required by the Insurer in connection with the issuance of any
Insurance Policy.  The Participating
Employer, Plan Administrator, and the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss
suffered by a Participant or a Beneficiary due to the Participant’s failure to
supply any information or perform any other act required by the Insurer in
connection with issuance or maintenance of an Insurance Policy.

 

However, the Trustee shall be
required to pay over all proceeds of any Insurance Policies to the
Participant’s designated beneficiary in accordance with the distribution
provisions of this Plan.  A
Participant’s Spouse will be the designated beneficiary of the proceeds in all
circumstances unless a waiver has been made in accordance with Section 10.13.
Under no circumstances shall the Trust retain any part of the proceeds.

 

Insurance Policies may be held
in the possession of the Trustee, Insurer, or Participating Employer.

 

9.2           LIMITATIONS ON INSURANCE POLICIES:  All Insurance Policy premiums shall be
payable from Salary Deferral Contributions or Participating Employer
contributions, except as provided below.

 

If ordinary life insurance is
purchased, aggregate premiums must be less than 50% of the aggregate Salary
Deferral Contributions, Participating Employer contributions, and forfeitures
allocated to the Participant.  If term
or universal life insurance is purchased, aggregate premiums may not exceed 25%
of aggregate Salary Deferral Contributions, Participating Employer
contributions, and forfeitures allocated to the Participant.  If both ordinary and term or universal life
insurance are purchased, aggregate premiums for the term insurance plus
one-half the aggregate premiums for the ordinary insurance may not exceed 25%
of the aggregate Salary Deferral Contributions.  Participating Employer contributions, and forfeitures allocated
to the Participant.  If retirement
income or endowment policies are purchased on behalf of a Participant, the
death benefit under the policy shall not be greater than 100 times the
anticipated monthly annuity provided under the policy.  Ordinary life insurance is a policy that
provides both non-decreasing death benefits and non–increasing premiums.

 

If the premium payable is more
than the amount of Salary Deferral or Participating Employer contribution
available for payment, the Trustee shall, unless the Participant elects
otherwise, convert other assets held on the Participant’s behalf into cash in
the amount of the insufficiency, to the extent that the limitations of this
section are not exceeded, and pay such amount to the Insurer.

 

If payment of the premium due
would cause the limitations of this section to be exceeded, the Trustee shall,
unless the Participant elects otherwise, convert other assets held on the
Participant’s behalf for two or more years into cash in the amount of the
excess and pay such amount to the Insurer.

 

Insurance Policy dividends and
credits will be allocated to the Participant for whose benefit the Policy is
held.

 

9.3           DISPOSITION OF INSURANCE POLICIES:  Upon the retirement, disability or other
termination of employment of a Participant, the Participant shall instruct the
Trustee as to the disposition of the Insurance Policies on his life, including
the surrender, conversion, or transfer of ownership of such policies to the
Participant, or placing then on a paid-up basis.  If an Insurance Policy is distributed to the Participant, such a
policy shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.13. The Trustee shall
dispose of the policies in accordance with these instructions and shall, in any
event, prior to commencement of benefits under the Plan, convert Insurance
Policies to cash or an annuity contract or distribute them to the Participant.

 

9.4           MINIMUM PURCHASE: 
If the amount available for the purchase of an Insurance Policy is
insufficient to provide the minimum purchase amount as specified by the
Insurer, no Insurance Policy shall be purchased until the Common Due Date on
which the amount available is sufficient.

 

9.5           VALIDITY OF INSURANCE POLICY:  Neither the Employer, the Plan Administrator, nor the Trustee
shall be responsible for the validity of any Insurance Policy, nor for the
failure on the part of the Insurer to make payments provided by such Policies,
nor for the action of any person which may render an Insurance Policy null or
void or unenforceable in whole or in part.

 

9.6           SUBORDINATION OF INSURANCE POLICY OR ANNUITY CONTRACT: In
the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the provisions of
any Insurance Policy or Annuity Contract. 
the terms of the Plan will control.

ARTICLE X – BENEFITS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

10.1         VESTING  Each
Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in amounts attributed to Salary
Deferral, Qualified Non-Elective, Employee, and Rollover contributions and
earnings thereunder.

 

Each Participant who is
employed by a Participating Employer shall be 100% vested in his Employer
Matching and Employer Discretionary subaccounts at his Normal Retirement Age,
and in the event of his Disability or death. 
The Participant’s vested interest in such subaccounts at any other time
shall be determined by the Vesting Schedule elected In Exhibit 5. Provided,
however, that if the Plan is top-heavy, for the top-heavy Plan Year and for all
subsequent years (regardless of whether the Plan is top-heavy for any
subsequent year) the vesting schedule in Exhibit 8, if different, shall be
used.

 

Each Participant shall be 100%
vested in his Insurance Policy if (1) his premiums originated from Salary
Deferral Contributions, (2) such Participant was previously 100% Vested in such
policy prior to contribution to the Plan, or (3) such policy was 100% Vested
prior to adoption of this Prototype Plan. 
Otherwise, the Participant’s vested Interest in his Insurance Policy
shall be determined according to the preceding paragraph.

 

If a Participant terminates
employment and is re–employed by a Participating Employer:

 

(a)           years
of Vesting Service credited after five or more consecutive one-year Breaks In
Service shall be disre­garded in determining the Participant’s vested interest
in the pre–break portion of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit; and

 

(b)           such
Participant’s pre–break Vesting Service will be disregarded in
determining the vested interest in any post-break portion of the Participant’s
Accrued Benefit if (1) the Participant was not vested in his Employer Matching
subaccount or Employer Discretionary subaccount at the time of his termination
of employment, and (2) his successive number of one-year Breaks In Service
exceeds the greater of either (1) five; or (2) the aggregate number of pre–break
years of Vesting Service.

 

10.2         FORFEITURES:  The
Employer shall elect in Exhibit 3 when to forfeit the nonvested portion of a
terminated Participant’s Accrued Benefit. 
If the Participant’s nonvested interest, pursuant to this Plan, is
forfeited immediately, and the Participant elects to have distributed less than
the entire vested portion of the Account derived from Employer contributions,
the part of the nonvested portion that will be treated as a forfeiture is the
total nonvested portion multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
amount of the distribution attributable to Employer contributions and the
denominator of which is the total value of the vested Employer derived
Account.  No forfeiture shall occur
solely as a result of a Participant’s withdrawal of his Salary Deferral or
Employee Contributions.  If a
Participant terminates employment without a vested interest in his Accrued
Benefit, the Participant shall be deemed to have received his interest in his
Accrued Benefit upon separation of service, and a forfeiture of the
Participant’s Account shall occur at the time specified in Exhibit 3.

 

Employer Discretionary and
matching forfeitures may be allocated to Participants’ Accounts or applied to
reduce the next Participating Employer contribution, as specified by Exhibit 3.
Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions (as defined in Article XVI) shall
be distributed as specified in Article XVI.

 

If, at termination of Plan,
forfeitures remain unallocated or unapplied, such forfeitures shall be
allocated to the Employer Matching subaccount or Employer Discretionary
subaccount, whichever is applicable, of each Participant in accordance with the
allocation formula in Exhibit 3.

 

10.3A      REPAYMENT AFTER IMMEDIATE FORFEITURE:  If the Plan Administrator elects in Exhibit 3 to forfeit all or a
portion of the nonvested portion of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit according
to Exhibit 3, Section 6(a), a former Participant who has resumed employment
with the Participating Employer may repay to the Plan the full amount of a vested
benefit distributed to him.  under
provision of Article X, provided that such Participant:

 

(a)           had
received a distribution of the present value of his non-forfeitable benefit
attributable to such service which he elected to receive;

 

(b)           was
not fully vested in the value of his Accrued Benefit at the time of the
distribution;

 

(c)           either
elected to receive the distribution, or was required to receive a distribution
whose value attributable to his entire non-forfeitable benefit did not exceed
$3,500; and

 

(d)           resumed
employment and repaid the full amount of the distribution, in the case of a
distribution on account of a Participant who separated from service before the
earlier of (1) five years after the first date on which the Participant is
subsequently re-employed by the Participating Employer; or (2) the close of the
first period of five consecutive one year Breaks In Service commencing after
the distribution.  However, in the case
of any other distribution, repayment must be made within five years after the
date of distribution.

 

In the event of such repayment,
the Participant’s forfeited Accrued Benefit (including all optional forms of
benefits and subsidies relating to such benefit) as of the most recent
Valuation Date prior to the date of termination shall be restored.  Such restoration shall first come from any
forfeitures allocated during the Plan Year, then from any Employer
contributions.

 

19

 

A nonvested former participant
who, pursuant to Section 10.2, shall have been deemed to forfeit his nonvested
interest in his Account upon termination of employment shall, upon rehire, be
considered to have repaid his nonvested interest in accordance with this
Section.

 

10.38       REHIRE PRIOR TO FORFEITURE: 
If the Plan Administrator elects in Exhibit 3 to forfeit the
Participant’s Accrued Benefit according to Exhibit 3. Section 6(b), a
distribution is made at a time when a Participant has a nonforfeitable right to
less than 100% of the Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions, and
the Participant may increase his nonforfeitable percentage, then:

 

(a)           A separate subaccount will be
established for the Participant’s interest in the Plan as of the time of the
distribution, and

 

(b)           At any relevant time the
Participant’s nonforfeitable portion of the separate subaccount will be equal
to an amount (“X’“) determined by the formula:

 

X=P(AB + D) — D

 

For purposes of applying the
formula; P is the nonforfeitable percentage at the relevant time.  AB is the Accrued Benefit at the relevant
time, and D is the amount of the distribution.

 

10.4         NORMAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT: 
Each Participant who retires on or after his Normal Retirement Date
shall be entitled to his Accrued Benefit. 
The form of such distribution shall be subject to Section 10.13.

 

10.5         EARLY RETIREMENT BENEFIT: 
If the Employer has elected in Exhibit 5 to permit early retirement, a
Participant who terminates employment after meeting the early retirement
requirements specified in Exhibit 5 shall be entitled to his vested Accrued
Benefit on his Early Retirement Date.  A
Participant who terminates employment after fulfilling all of the requirements
except the minimum age requirement, may elect early retirement at any time
after attaining such minimum age.  The
form of such distribution shall be subject to Section 10.13.

 

10.6         DEFERRED RETIREMENT BENEFIT:  If a Participant shall continue in active employment following
his Normal Retirement Date, payment of his benefits, subject to Section 10.12,
shall be postponed until his actual retirement.  The form of such distribution shall be subject to Section 10.13.

 

10.7         DISABILITY BENEFIT: 
A Participant whose employment is terminated prior to his Normal
Retirement Age as a result of Disability shall be immediately entitled to his
Accrued Benefit.  The form of such
distribution shall be subject to Section 10.13.

 

10.8         DEATH BENEFIT:  If a
Participant dies before his Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s
Beneficiary shall be entitled to a death benefit equal to the Participant’s
Accrued Benefit.  Such Accrued Benefit
shall not include the value of any security interest in the Participant’s
Account held by the Plan by reason of any loan under Section 10.17. If
married on the date of the Participant’s death, the Surviving Spouse shall be
the Beneficiary and shall be entitled to a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity unless a valid waiver (as described in Section 10.13) was
executed.  However, after the death of
the Participant, the Beneficiary may elect any other form of benefit offered
under the Plan.  The Participant’s
entire interest under this Section may be distributed as soon as
administratively practical, but in any event, no later than the December 31 of
the calendar year in which the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death
occurs unless the Designated Beneficiary or Spouse elects one of the following
forms of distributions:

 

(a)           If
any portion of the Participant’s interest is payable to a Designated
Beneficiary, distributions my be made in substantially equal installments over
the life or Life Expectancy of the Designated Beneficiary commencing no later
than the December 31 of the calendar year after the Participant’s death; or

 

(b)           If
the Designated Beneficiary is the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, the date
distributions are required to begin shall not be earlier than the later of the
December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained
age 70 1/2, or the December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year in which the Participant died. 
If the Spouse dies before payments begin, such Spouse shall be treated
as the Participant for the purpose of calculating future required
distributions.

 

If the Participant dies after
distribution of his interest has begun, the remaining portion of such interest
will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of
distribution being used prior to the Participant’s death.

 

If the Participant dies before
distribution of his interest begins, distribution of the Participant’s entire
interest shall be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the
fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death except to the extent that an
election is made to receive distributions in accordance with (a) or (b) above.

 

If the Participant has not made
an election by the time of his or her death, the Participant’s Designated
Beneficiary must elect the method of distribution no later than the earlier of
(a) December 31 of the calendar year in which distributions would be required
to begin under this Section, or (2) December 31 of the calendar year which
contains the fifth anniversary of the date of death of the Participant.  If the Participant has no Designated
Beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not elect a method of
distribution, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest must be
completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary
of the Participant’s death.

 

20

 

For purposes of this Section,
if the Surviving Spouse dies after the Participant, but before payments to such
Spouse begin, the provisions of this Section, with the exception of paragraph
(b) above, shall be applied as if the Surviving Spouse were the Participant.

 

For purposes of this Section,
any amount paid to a child of the Participant will be treated as if it has been
paid to the Surviving Spouse if the amount becomes payable to the Surviving
Spouse when the child reaches the age of majority.

 

For purposes of this Section,
distribution of a Participant’s interest is considered to begin on the
Participant’s Required Beginning Date (or the date distribution is required to
begin to the Surviving Spouse pursuant to paragraph (b) above). If distribution
in the form of an annuity irrevocably commences to the Participant before the
Required Beginning Date, the date the distribution is considered to begin is
the date distribution actually commences.

 

For purposes of this Section,
payments will be calculated by use of the return multiples specified in Tables
V and VI, of Section 1.72–9 of the regulations under the Code as of the
date the distribution commences.  Life
Expectancy of a Surviving Spouse may, at the Spouse’s election, be recalculated
annually.  In the absence of an election,
life expectancy of a Surviving Spouse may not be recalculated.  In the case of any other Designated
Beneficiary, Life Expectancy will not be recalculated.

 

“Life Expectancy” and
“Designated Beneficiary” shall have the meaning as defined in Section 10.22.

 

10.9         OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT:  Subject to Section 10.13, each Participant
whose service with the Participating Employer is terminated shall, if provided
by Exhibit 5, be entitled to his vested Accrued Benefit.

 

10.9A      OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS:  An
affected Participant’s Accrued Benefit may also be distributed in a lump sum
(1) if the Plan is terminated and a defined contribution plan is not
established within a reasonable period of time after termination.  Established within a reasonable time period
after termination means the existence of the time this Plan terminated or
within the period ending within 12 months after distribution of all assets from
this Plan of any other defined contribution plan (other than an ESOP); or (2)
upon the disposition to an unrelated corporation of substantially all the
assets (within the remaining of Section 409(d)(2) of the Code) of a corporation
which are used in the trade or business in which the Participant is employed,
but only with respect to employees who continue employment with the corporation
acquiring such assets, and the corporation continues to maintain the Plan after
disposition; or (3) after disposition to an unrelated entity of a corporation’s
interest in a subsidiary providing such corporation continues to maintain this
Plan, and the Participant continues in employment with the subsidiary.  In (2) and (3) above, the disposing
corporation must continue to maintain the Plan.

 

The form of such distributions
are subject to Section 10.13.

 

10.10       AGE 59 1/2:  If the
Employer has elected in Exhibit 5 to permit age 59 1/2 benefit distributions, a
Participant may elect payment of his vested Accrued Benefit, or any portion
thereof, at any time after attaining age 59 1/2. The form of such distribution
shall be subject to Section 10.13.

 

10.11       HARDSHIP:  If the
Employer has elected in Exhibit 5 to permit hardship distributions, such
distributions to a Participant shall be made if the distribution is necessary
in light of Immediate and Heavy Financial Needs of the Participant and where
such Participant lacks other available resources.  A distribution based upon financial hardship cannot exceed the
amount required to meet the immediate financial need created by the hardship
(or the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit, if less) and not reasonably
available from other resources of the Participant.  The determination of the existence of financial hardship and the
amount required to be distributed to meet the need created by the hardship
shall be made by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the standards set
forth below.  Such distribution must
comply with Section 10.18. Hardship distributions may only be made from the
Participant’s Salary Deferral, Employee Contribution, Non–100% Vested
Matching, 100% Vested Matching (not used under Section 16.3) and Employer
Discretionary Subaccounts.  Effective
for the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1989, a hardship
distribution from the Participant’s Salary Deferral Subaccount shall not exceed
the sum of the Participant’s subaccount as of December 31, 1988, and the
Participant’s Salary Deferral Contributions made during Plan Years after
December 31, 1988.

 

For the purpose of this
Section, Immediate and Heavy Financial Need means: (1) medical expenses described
in Code Section 213(d) incurred by the Participant, the Participant’s Spouse,
or dependents of the Participant (as defined In Code Section 152); (2) the
purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence of the
Participant; (3) pay­ment of tuition for the next semester or quarter of post
secondary education for the Participant, his spouse, children, or dependents;
(4) the need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal
residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s principal
residence; or (5) any other event which the Commissioner of the Internal
Revenue Service has deemed to be an Immediate and Heavy Need.  A Participant making an application under
this Section shall have the burden of presenting evidence of such need.

 

A distribution will be
considered as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need
providing: (1) the Participant withdraws and borrows (on a nontaxable basis)
all amounts available to the Participant under this plan and all plans of the
Employer (other than the mandatory employee portion of a defined benefit plan);
(2) all Plans main­tained by the Employer suspend for a period of 12 months
from the date of such distribution, the Participant’s ability to make Salary
Deferral Contributions or Employee Contributions; and (3) all Plans maintained
by the Employer limit such Participant’s ability to make Salary Deferral
Contributions for the Participant’s taxable year immediately fol­lowing the
taxable year of the hardship in excess of the limit specified in Code Section
402(g) for such taxable year less the amount of such Participant’s Salary
Deferral Contributions for the taxable year of the hardship distribution.

 

21

 

Each request for a hardship
distribution shall be made by written application on a forth acceptable to the
Plan Administrator.  The form of such
distribution shall be subject to Section 10.13.

 

10.12       COMMENCEMENT OF BENEFITS: 
A Participant may elect to commence distribution of his benefit at any
time on or after he meets the requirements for a distribution set forth in this
Article  However, subject to the
succeeding sentence, the Plan Administrator may elect to defer payment to a Participant
until all contributions and allocations have been made on behalf of any
Participant.  Unless the Participant
elects otherwise, distribution of benefits will begin no later than the 60th
day after the close of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains Normal
Retirement Age or the Participant terminates service with the Participating
Employer, whichever is later. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of a Participant and Spouse
to consent to a distribution while a benefit is immediately distributable,
within the meaning of Section 10.18. shall be deemed to be an election to defer
commencement of payment of any benefit sufficient to satisfy this Section.

 

Notwithstanding the other
requirements of this Article and subject to the requirements of Section 10.13,
distribution on behalf of any Employee, including a 5% owner, may be made in
accordance with all of the following requirements (regardless of when such
distribution commences):

 

(a)           The distribution by the trust is one
which would not have disqualified such trust under Section 401(a)(9) of
the Internal Revenue Code as in effect prior to amendment by the Deficit
Reduction Act of 1984;

 

(b)           The distribution is in accordance
with a method of distribution designated by the Employee whose interest in the
trust is being distributed or, if the Employee is deceased, by a beneficiary of
such Employee;

 

(c)           Such designation was in writing, was
signed by the Employee or the beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1983:

 

(d)           The Employee had accrued a benefit–under
the Plan as of December 31, 1983;

 

(e)           The method of distribution designated
by the Employee or the beneficiary specifies the time at which distributions
will be made, and in the case of any distribution upon the Employee’s death,
the beneficiaries of the Employee listed in order of priority.

 

A distribution upon death will
not be covered by this transitional rule unless the information in the
designation contains the required information described above with respect to
the distributions to be made upon the death of the Employee.

 

For any distribution which
commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after December 31, 1983, the
Employee or the beneficiary, to whoa such distribution is being made, will be
presumed to have designated the method of distribution under which the distribution
is being made if the method of distribution was specified in writing and the
distribution satisfies the requirements of this Section.

 

If a designation is revoked any
subsequent distribution must satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of
the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
If a designation is revoked subsequent to the date distributions are
required to begin, the trust must distribute by the end of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the revocation occurs the total amount not
yet distributed which would have been required to have been distributed to
satisfy Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, but for
the Section 242(6)(2) election.  For
calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988, such distributions must meet
the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements in Section 1.401(a)(9)–2
of the Income Tax Regulations.  Any
changes in the designation will be considered to be a revocation of the
designation.  However, the mere substitution
or addition of another beneficiary (one not named in the designation) under the
designation rill not be considered to be a revocation of the designation, so
long as such substitution or addition does not alter the period over which
distributions are to be made under the designation, directly or indirectly (for
example, by altering the relevant measuring life). In the case in which an
amount is transferred or rolled over from one plan to another plan, the rules
in Q&J J–2 and Q&A J–3 of such regulations shall apply.

 

10.13       FORM OF DISTRIBUTION:

 

(a)           Any
Participant who is credited with at least one Hour Of Service with the Employer
after August 23, 1984 shall receive a benefit at retirement in the form of a
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.  A
Participant may select a benefit other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity benefit during the 90 day period preceding the Annuity Starting Date
provided that an appropriate waiver, as described in subsection (c) of this
Section, is executed.  The Participant
may elect to have such annuity distributed upon attainment of his Early
Retirement Age.

 

(b)           The
Spouse of any Participant who dies prior to his Annuity Starting Date will
receive a benefit in the form of a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity.  The Surviving Spouse may elect
to have such annuity distributed within a reasonable period after the
Participant’s death.  A Participant may
select a benefit other than a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity or a
beneficiary other than the Participant’s Spouse if the Participant is unmarried
or if the Participant, during a period which begins on the first day of the
Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35 and ends on the earlier of
the date of the Participant’s death or his

 

22

Annuity Starting Date executes an appropriate waiver
as described in subsection (c) hereof. 
If a Participant terminates employment prior to the first day of the
Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35, with respect to the
Participant’s Account as of the date of termination, the selection period shall
begin upon termination of employment.

 

Notwithstanding the above paragraph, a Participant who
will not yet attain age 35 as of the end of any current Plan Year may make a
special qualified election to waive the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity for the period beginning on the date of such election and ending on the
first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant will attain age 35.  Such election shall not be valid unless the
Participant receives a written explanation of the Qualified Pre-Retirement
Survivor Annuity in such terms as are comparable to the explanation required
under paragraph (d) below.  Qualified
Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity coverage will be automatically reinstated as of
the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35. Any new
waiver on or after such date shall be subject to the full requirements of this
Article.

 

(c)           A
married Participant who selects a benefit other than a Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity, a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity, or designates a
beneficiary other than his Spouse, must execute a written waiver and must
obtain the consent of his Spouse, if any, pursuant to the terms of Section
10.18 hereof.  A Participant may revoke
any waiver during the periods described without the consent of his Spouse.  There is no limit on the number of
revocations or waivers that may be made under this Article.  However, after the death of the Participant,
the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, unless an Annuity Contract is purchased or
the Spouse has executed a written waiver pursuant to Section 10.18, may elect
any other form of benefit offered under the Plan.

 

(d)           The
Plan Administrator shall provide each Participant with an explanation of the
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity which meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  With respect to the Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity, such explanation shall be provided no less than 30 days and
no more than 90 days prior to his Annuity Start Date.  Such written explanation shall include: (i) the terms and
conditions of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; (ii) the Participant’s
right to make and the effect of an election to waive the Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity form of benefit; (iii) the rights of a Participant’s Spouse;
and (iv) the right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a previous
election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.

 

With respect to the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity, such explanation shall be provided within the later of (1) the period
beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains
age 32 and ending on the close of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in
which the Participant attains age 35; (2) a reasonable period after the
individual becomes a Participant; (3) a reasonable period ending after Code
Section 401(a)(11) applies to the Participant; (4) a reasonable period after
Section 10.20 ceases to apply to the Participant; (5) a reasonable period after
separation from service in case of a Participant who separates before attaining
age 35.  Such written explanation of the
Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity shall be provided in such terms and
in such manner as would be comparable to the explanation provided for meeting
the requirements applicable to a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.

 

For purposes of applying the preceding paragraph, a
reasonable period ending after the enumerated events described above is the end
of the two–year period beginning one year prior to the date the
applicable event occurs, and ending one year after that date.  In the case of a Participant who separates
from service before the Plan Year in which age 35 is attained, notice shall be
provided within the two-year period beginning one year prior to separation and
ending one year after separation.  If
such a Participant thereafter returns to employment with the Employer, the
applicable period for such Participant shall be redetermined.

 

Notwithstanding the other requirements of this
subsection (d), the respective notices prescribed in this subsection need not
be given to a Participant if (1) the Plan “fully subsidizes” the costs of a
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor
Annuity, and (2) the Plan does not allow the Participant to waive the Qualified
Joint and Survivor Annuity or Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity and
does not allow a married Participant to designate a non-spouse
beneficiary.  For purposes of this
subsection., a Plan fully subsidizes the costs of a benefit if no increase in
cost, or decrease in benefits to the Participant may result from the
Participant’s failure to elect another benefit.

 

10.13A    DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

 

(a)           Except
as otherwise provided in Section 10.13, the requirements of this Section shall
apply to any distribution of a Participant’s interest and will take precedence
over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan. 
Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this Section apply to
calendar years beginning after December 31, 1984.

 

(b)           All
distributions required under this Section shall be determined and made in
accordance with the Income Tax Regulations under Section 401(a)(9), including the
minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of
the regulations.

 

(c)           The
entire interest of a Participant must be distributed or begin to be distributed
no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.

 

23

 

 

(d)                              Limits
on Distribution Periods.  As of the
first Distribution Calendar Year, distributions, if not made in a single–sum,
may only be made over one of the following periods (or a combination thereof):

 

(1)  the life of the Participant,

(2)  the life of the Participant and a Designated
Beneficiary,

(3)  a period certain not extending beyond the
Life Expectancy of the Participant, or

(4)  a period certain not extending beyond the
joint and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and a Designated
Beneficiary.

 

(e)           If
the Participant’s interest is to be distributed in other than a single sum, the
following minimum distribution rules shall apply on or after the Required
Beginning Date:

 

(1)           Individual Account.

 

(i)            If a Participant’s benefit is to be
distributed over (1) a period not extending beyond the Life Expectancy of the
Participant or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant
and the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary or (2) a period not extending
beyond the Life Expectancy of the Designated Beneficiary, the amount required
to be distributed for each calendar year, beginning with distributions for the
first Distribution Calendar Year must at least equal the quotient obtained by dividing
the Participant’s benefit by the Applicable Life Expectancy.

 

(ii)           For calendar years beginning before
January 1, 1989, if the Participant’s Spouse is not the Designated Beneficiary,
the method of distribution selected must assure that at least 50% of the
present value of the amount available for distribution is paid within the Life
Expectancy of the Participant.

 

(iii)          For calendar years beginning after
December 31, 1988, the amount to be distributed each year, beginning with
distributions for the first Distribution Calendar Year shall not be less than
the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s benefit by the lesser of
(1) the applicable Life Expectancy or (2) if the Participant’s Spouse is not
the Designated Beneficiary, the applicable divisor determined from the table
set forth in Q&A–4 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Income Tax
Regulations.  Distributions after the
death of the Participant shall be distributed using the Applicable Life
Expectancy in (i) above as the relevant divisor without regard to regulations
Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.

 

(iv)          The minimum distribution required for
the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year must be made on or before
the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. 
The minimum distribution for other calendar years, including the minimum
distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Employee’s
Required Beginning Date occurs, must be made on or before December 31 of that
Distribution Calendar Year.

 

(2)           Other Forms.

 

(i)            If the Participant’s benefit is
distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company,
distributions thereunder shall be made in accordance with the requirements of
Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

 

(f)            Life
Expectancy, Designated Beneficiary, Distribution Calendar Year, and Applicable
Life Expectancy shall have the meanings as defined in Section 10.22.

 

10.14       METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION: 
For any distribution under this Article, the Participant or Beneficiary
may, providing such methods of distribution are offered under the Plan, elect
payment in (a) cash, (b) Mutual Fund Shares, (c) Annuity Contracts. (d) an
annuity under a group annuity contract, or (e) Insurance Policies.  Annuity Contracts used to fund a
Participant’s benefit must meet the requirements of Code Sections 411(a)(11)
and 417.

 

10.15       CASH-OUT DISTRIBUTION: 
If the value of the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit on the date he
terminates service does not exceed $3,500, the Plan Administrator shall, as
elected in Exhibit 5, either: (1) immediately distri­bute to such Participant
his Account in the form of a lump sum; or (2) permit the Participant to elect
to receive a distribution subject to the provisions of this Article.  The above sentence shall also apply to the
value of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or Qualified Pre-Retirement
Survivor Annuity which does not exceed $3,500. However, no distribution
(regardless of amount) shall be made pursuant to the preceding sentence after
the Annuity Starting Date unless the Participant and his Spouse (or the
Participant’s Surviving Spouse) consents, pursuant to Section 10.18.

 

10.16       WITHDRAWALS OF EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS:  Subject to the consent provisions of
Section 10.18, and disregarding any other provisions limiting withdrawals
from this Plan, a Participant may, upon written notice to the Plan
Administrator, withdraw from the Plan, in cash, all or a portion of the value
of his Employee Contribution subaccount.

 

If Employee Contributions
are made pursuant to a Thrift Contribution Agreement, then this Section shall
be inoperative and withdrawals of a Participant’s Employee Contribution
subaccount shall only be permitted as otherwise permitted by this Article.

 

24

 

10.17       LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS: 
If the Employer so elects in Exhibit 5, and the consent of the
Participant’s Spouse is obtained pursuant to Section 10.18, the Trustee may
make a loan to any Participant (except a Shareholder Employee or
Owner-Employee) or Benefifciary.  Each
loan shall be made upon the written application of the Participant on a form
acceptable to the Plan Administrator and shall be subject to the approval of
the Plan Administrator.  Loans shall:

 

(a)           be
made available to Participants and Beneficiaries on a reasonably equivalent
basis;

 

(b)           not
be available to highly compensated employees (within the meaning of 414(q)) in
an amount greater than the amount available to other employees;

 

(c)           be
secured by the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit and bear a reasonable rate
of interest;

 

(d)           by
its terms require that repayment (principal and interest) be amortized in level
payments, not less fre­quently than quarterly, over a period not extending
beyond five years from the date of the loan, unless the loan is for the sole
purpose of buying the principal residence of the Participant; and

 

(e)           not
exceed $50,000 (reduced by the excess, if any, of the highest outstanding
balance of loans made during the one year period ending on the day before the
loan is made, over the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date
the loan is made) or 50% of the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit (without
regard to a Participant’s Keogh transfer subaccount), whichever is less.  For these purposes, all loans from all plans
of the Participating Employer and other members of a group of employees
described in Code Sections 414(b), 414(c), and 414(m) are aggregated.  Provided however, if the Participant’s or
Beneficiary’s vested Accrued Benefit is less than $10,000, a loan of up to the
Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit may be made.  An assignment or pledge of any portion of a Participant’s
interest in the Plan and a loan, pledge, or assignment with respect to any
Annuity Contract purchased under this Plan will be treated as a loan under this
subsection.

 

All such loans shall be
considered either a general investment of the Trust Fund or an asset of the
Participant’s Account, as elected in Exhibit 5.

 

A Participant shall not have
more than one loan in effect at any time. 
The Plan Administrator, in a non-discriminatory manner, may create other
rules and regulations governing loans. 
Effective for any loan granted or renewed on or after January 1, 1990,
such rules and regulations must (if required by regulations issued by the
Department of Labor) include a written document which is to be made part of
this Plan which, at a minimum, specifies:

 

(a)           The
identity of the person or positions authorized to administer the participant
loan program;

(b)           A
procedure for applying for loans;

(c)           The
basis on which loans will be approved or denied;

(d)           Limitations
(if any) on the types and amounts of loans offered;

(e)           The
procedure under the program for determining a reasonable rate of interest;

(f)            The
types of collateral which may secure a participant loan; and

(g)           The
events constituting default and the steps that will be taken to preserve plan
assets in the event of such default.

 

If loans are permitted in
Exhibit 5, effective for any loan granted or renewed on or after the first Plan
Year beginning in 1989, the Trustee is specifically authorized to establish and
the Plan Administrator is authorized to maintain and administer a Participant
loan program.

 

An assignment or pledge of any
portion of a Participant’s interest in the Plan and a loan, pledge, or
assignment with respect to any Annuity Contract purchased under this Plan will
be treated as a loan under this Section.

 

If a Participant shall default
on any loan, the Plan Administrator shall deduct the unpaid principal and any
unpaid interest from the Participant’s Account at the time when the
Participant’s Account becomes distributable.

 

10.18       CONSENT:  If the value
of a Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit derived from Employer and Employee
Contributions exceeds (or at the time of any prior distribution exceeded)
$3,500, and his Accrued Benefit is immediately distributable, the Participant
and the Participant’s Spouse (or where either the Participant or the Spouse has
died, the survivor) must consent to any distribution.  The consent of the Participant and the Participant’s Spouse shall
be obtained in writing within the 90-day period ending on the Annuity Starting
Date.  The Plan Administrator shall
notify the Participant and the Participant’s Spouse of the right to defer any
distribution until the Participant’s Account is no longer immediately
distributable.  Such notification shall
include a general description of the material features, and an explanation of
the relative values of the optional forms of benefit available under the plan
in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Section 417(a)(3),
and shall be provided no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days prior to
the Annuity Starting Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
only the Participant need consent to the commencement of a distribution in the
form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity while his Accrued Benefit is
immediately distributable.  Furthermore,
if payment in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is not
required with respect to the Participant pursuant to Section 10.20 of the Plan,
only the Participant need consent to the distribution of his Accrued Benefit
that is immediately distributable. 
Neither the consent of the Participant nor the Participant’s Spouse
shall be required to the extent that a distribution is required to satisfy
Section 401(a)(9) or Section 415 of the Code. 
In addition, upon

 

25

 

termination of this Plan, if
the Plan does not offer an annuity option (purchased from a commercial
provider), the Participant’s Account may, without the Participant’s consent, be
distributed to the Participant or transferred to another defined contribution
plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Section
4975(e)(7) of the Code) within the same controlled group.

 

An Accrued Benefit is
immediately distributable if any part of the Account could be distributed to
the Participant (or Surviving Spouse) before the Participant attains or would
have attained if not deceased) the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62.

 

A waiver of a Qualified
Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity or Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity must
include the consent of the Spouse of the Participant.  Such consent must be in writing and must be witnessed by either a
plan representative or notary public. 
The Spouse’s waiver must be limited to a designation of a specific
alternate beneficiary including any class of beneficiaries or any contingent
beneficiaries.  Such alternate
beneficiary must not be changed without the Spouse’s consent (unless the
consent of the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without
any requirement of further consent by the Spouse). In addition, the Spouse’s
consent must acknowledge the effect of the election.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is established to the
satisfaction of the plan representative that such written consent may not be
obtained because there is no Spouse or the Spouse cannot be located, no such
consent will be required.

 

Any consent by a Spouse obtained
under this provision (or establishment that the consent of a Spouse may not be
obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such Spouse.  A consent that permits designations by the
Participant without any requirement of further consent by such Spouse must
acknowledge that the Spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific
beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the
Spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both of such rights.  A revocation of a prior waiver may be made
by a Participant without the consent of the Spouse at any time before the
commencement of benefits.  The number of
revocations shall not be limited.  No
consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless the Participant has
received notice as provided in Section 10.13 above.

 

A Participant must obtain the
consent of his Spouse, if any, the use of his Account as security for the
loan.  Spousal consent shall be obtained
no earlier than the beginning of the 90-day period that ends on the date on
which the loan is to be so secured.  The
consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of the loan, and must
be witnessed by a plan representative or notary public.  Such consent shall thereafter be binding
with respect to the consenting spouse or any subsequent spouse with respect to
that loan.  A new consent shall be
required if the Account is used for renegotiation, extension, renewal, or other
revision of the loan.

 

If a valid spousal consent has
been obtained in accordance with the above paragraph, then, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan, the portion of the Participant’s vested Account
used as a security interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to
the Participant shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the
amount of the Account payable at the time of death or distribution, but only if
the reduction is used as repayment of the loan.  If less than 100% of the Participant’s vested Account (determined
without regard to the preceding sentence) is payable to the Surviving Spouse,
then the Account shall be adjusted by first reducing the vested Account by the
amount of the security used as repayment of the loan, and then determining the
benefit payable to the Surviving Spouse.

 

10.19       OTHER PROVISIONS:  The
Plan Administrator, on a non-discriminatory basis, may promulgate other rules
and regulations governing distributions from the Plan including, if not
prohibited by Section 14.1, limiting the forms of benefits offered under this
Plan.

 

10.20       QUALIFIED SPECIAL RULE FOR PROFIT SHARING PLANS:  The above Qualified Joint and Survivor and
Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity notice, waiver, and consent
provisions (including, without limitation, spousal loan and beneficiary consent
requirements specified in Sections 10.17 and 2.6 respectively) shall not be
applicable to this Plan if the Plan Administrator administers a profit sharing
plan according to the following limitations:

 

(a)           the
Participant does not or cannot elect payments in the form of a life annuity:
and

 

(b)           on
the death of the Participant, the Participant’s vested Account will be paid to
the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, but if there is no Surviving Spouse, or if
the Surviving Spouse has consented in a manner conforming to a qualified
election, then to the Participant’s designated beneficiary.  The Surviving Spouse may elect to have
distribution of the vested Account commence within the 90-day period following
the date of the Participant’s death. 
The Account shall be adjusted for gains or losses occurring after the
Participant’s death in accordance with the provisions of the Plan governing the
adjustment of Account for other types of distributions.  This Section shall not be operative with
respect to a Participant in a profit sharing plan if the plan is a direct or
indirect transferee of a defined benefit plan, money purchase plan, a target
benefit plan, stock bonus, or profit sharing plan which is subject to the
survivor annuity requirements of Section 401(a)(11) and Section 417 of the
Code.

 

The Participant may waive the spousal death benefit
described in this Section at any time provided that no such waiver shall be
effective unless it satisfies the conditions of this Article (other than the
notification requirement referred to therein) that would apply to the
Participant’s waiver of the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity.

 

26

 

In addition, this Section shall
not apply unless the Participant’s Spouse is the designated beneficiary of any
insurance on the 

Participant’s life purchased by
Employer contributions or forfeitures allocated to the Participant’s Account.

 

10.21       SPECIAL RULE:  [Reserved]

 

10.22       DEFINITIONS:  For the purpose of Sections 10.8 and 10.13A,
the following definitions shall apply:

 

(a)            Applicable Life Expectancy.  The life expectancy (or joint and last
survivor expectancy) calculated using the attained age of the Participant (or
designated beneficiary) as of the Participant’s (or designated beneficiary’s)
birthday in the applicable calendar year reduced by one for each calendar year
which has elapsed since the date life expectancy was first calculated.  If life expectancy is being recalculated,
the applicable life expectancy shall be the life expectancy as so recalculated.  The applicable calendar year shall be the
first distribution calendar year, and if life expectancy is being recalculated
such succeeding calendar year.  If
annuity payments commence before the Required Beginning Date, the applicable
calendar year is the year payments commence. 
If distribution is in the form of an immediate annuity purchased after
the Participant’s death with the Participant’s remaining interest, the
applicable calendar year is the year of purchase.

 

(b)           Designated Beneficiary.  The individual who is designated as the
beneficiary under the Plan in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) and the
regulations thereunder.

 

(c)           Distribution
Calendar Year.  A calendar year for
which a minimum distribution is required. 
For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first
distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the
calendar year which contains the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.  For distributions beginning after the
Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year
in which distributions are required to begin pursuant to Section 10.18 above.

 

(d)           Life
Expectancy.  Life expectancy and joint
and last survivor expectancy are computed by use of the expected return multiples
in Tables V and VI of Section 1.72–9 of the Income Tax Regulations.

 

Unless otherwise elected by the Participant by the
time distributions are required to begin, life expectancies shall not be
recalculated annually.  Such election
shall be irrevocable as to the Participant (or Spouse) and shall apply to all
subsequent years.  The life expectancy
of a non-spouse beneficiary may not be recalculated.

 

(e)           Participant’s
Benefit.

 

(1)      The Participant’s Account as of the last
valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution
calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any
contributions or forfeitures allocated to the Account as of dates in the
valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions
made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date.

 

(2)      Exception for second distribution calendar
year.  For purposes of paragraph (1)
above.  if any portion of the minimum
distribution for the first distribution calendar year is made in the second
distribution calendar year on or before the Required Beginning Date, the amount
of the minimum distribution made in the second distribution calendar year shall
be treated as if it has been made in the immediately preceding distribution calendar
year.

 

10.23       FORMS OF
BENEFITS:  The normal form of benefit
under this Plan shall be a lump sum. 
The optional forms of benefits provided in this Plan shall be stated in
Exhibit 5.  However, if this Plan is an
amendment and restatement of a prior plan, all optional forms of benefits
provided in the prior plan, to the extent accrued, shall be provided in this
Plan.

 

27

 

ARTICLE
XI – TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

 

11.1         DETERMINATION OF TOP-HEAVY STATUS:  If this Plan is or becomes top-heavy in any Plan Year beginning
after December 31, 1983, the provisions of Article XI will supersede any
conflicting provisions in the Plan or Adoption Agreement.  For any Plan Year beginning after December
31, 1983, this Plan is top-heavy if any of the following conditions exist:

 

(a)           If
the Top-heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds 60% and this Plan is not part of any
Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group of plans.

 

(b)           If
this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of plans but not part of a
Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top-heavy Ratio for the group of plans
exceeds 60%.

 

(c)           If
this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group and part of a Permissive
Aggregation Group of plans and the Top-heavy Ratio for the Permissive
Aggregation Group exceeds 60%.

 

11.2         MINIMUM ALLOCATION FOR THIS PLAN:  Notwithstanding any allocation formula in Exhibit 3, if this Plan
provides for Employer Discretionary Contributions and this Plan is top-heavy
(as determined by Section 11.1), the Participating Employer discretionary
contributions and discretionary forfeitures (if any) shall be allocated to the
Employer discretionary subaccount of all participants eligible for an
allocation in the proportion that the Participant’s Compensation bears to the
total Compensation of all Participants. 
The maximum allocation to any Participant under this paragraph shall not
exceed 3% of the Participant’s Compensation. 
The remaining allocation shall be made according to the formula provided
in the adoption agreement.

 

11.3         MINIMUM REQUIRED ALLOCATION:  Except as provided in Section 11.4 below, if this Plan is
top-heavy as determined in Section 11.1, each Non-Key Employee who is a
Participant shall receive minimum allocation of three percent (3%) of his
Compensation.  However, in the case
where the Employer has no defined benefit plan which designates this Plan to
satisfy Section 401 of the Code, if the highest allocation provided a Key
Employee (including any Salary Deferral Contribution) is less than three
percent (3%) of the Key Employee’s Compensation not exceeding $200,000 (or any
increased amount, as permitted by the Secretary of the Treasury), each Non-Key
Employee shall receive such lesser allocation.

 

Such minimum allocation may be
satisfied from any Participating Employer contribution and forfeiture
(including, prior to the first Plan Year beginning on January 1, 1989, any
Salary Deferral Contribution) made for the benefit of any Non-Key
Employee.  To the extent that such
minimum allocation is satisfied by such contribution and forfeiture, or in the
case of two or more defined contribution plans which are part of a Required
Aggregation Group, by aggregating contributions for both plans, or if the
Non-Key Employee is covered by another plan of the Employer and the Employer
has provided in Exhibit 8 that such plan will provide the minimum required
allocation or benefit, no additional allocation or benefit shall be provided
under this Section.

 

The minimum allocation is
determined without regard to any Social Security contribution.  This minimum allocation shall be made even
though under other plan provisions the Non-Key Employee who is a Participant
would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation, or would have
received a lesser allocation for the year because of (i) the Non-Key Employee’s
failure to complete 1,000 Hours Of Service (or any equivalent provided in the
Plan), or (ii) the Non-Key Employee’s failure to make mandatory employee
contributions to the Plan, or (iii) compensation less than a stated
amount.  No minimum allocation shall be
made for any Non-Key Employee who has separated from service prior to the last
day of the Plan Year.

 

The minimum allocation required
(to the extent required to be nonforfeitable under Section 416(b)), may not be
forfeited under Section 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D).

 

11.4         PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER MAINTAINS ONE OR MORE DEFINED BENEFIT
PLAN-MINIMUM ALLOCATION OR BENEFIT:  If
an Employer maintains a defined benefit plan in addition to this Plan, and the
plans are top-heavy as determined by Section 11.1, the Employer shall elect in
Exhibit 8 as to whether the minimum allocation or benefit shall be satisfied in
this Plan or the defined benefit plan.

 

If this Plan is selected to
provide the maintain top-heavy benefit, each Non-Key Employee who is a
Participant in both plans shall receive the allocation stated in Exhibit 8. The
minimum allocation must be provided to all Non-Key Employees who are required
to receive an allocation under Section 11.3.

 

If the Employer selects in
Exhibit 8 for the defined benefit plan to provide the minimum top-heavy
benefit, the defined benefit plan shall provide for a Non-Key Employee who is a
participant in both plans shall receive the product of (i) an employees average
annual compensation for the period of consecutive years (not exceeding five)
when the Employee had the highest aggregate compensation from the employer, and
(ii) the lesser of 2% per year of service with the employer or 20%. 3 and 30%
shall be substituted in the preceding sentence for 2 and 20% respectively, if
designated in Exhibit 8.

 

If a Non-Key Employee of this
Plan is not a participant in the defined benefit plan, the Non-Key Employee
shall receive the allocation provided in Section 11.3.

 

28

 

11.5         MINIMUM VESTING REQUIREMENTS:  If the Plan is or becomes top-heavy, each Participant’s vested
percentage in his Employer Matching subaccount.  Employer Discretionary subaccount, and Insurance Policies will be
determined by the schedule specified in Exhibit 8. Provided, however, that such
percentage is not less than that which would otherwise apply under any other
provisions of this Plan.  Such vesting
schedule shall not apply to a Participant who did not complete an Hour of
Service after the Plan became top-heavy. 
Such vesting schedule shall apply for all subsequent years, regardless
of whether this Plan is top-heavy. 
Vesting Service shall be measured as provided by Section 2.50.

 

11.6         LIMITATION OF ALLOCATIONS: 
If, during any Limitation Year, the Participant is a Participant in both
this Plan and a defined benefit plan which are part of a top-heavy group,
“100%” shall be substituted for “125%” each place it appears in Section 7.5
unless otherwise provided in Exhibit 8, except that, such substitution shall
not have the effect of reducing any benefit accrued under a defined benefit
plan prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which this provision becomes
applicable.

 

This Section shall not apply if
the Plan provides for the additional contribution or benefit required in
Exhibit 8.

 

11.6A      COMPENSATION LIMITATION: 
For any Plan Year in which this Plan is top-heavy, a Participant’s
Compensation shall be      his top-heavy
Compensation.

 

11.7         SPECIAL DEFINITIONS: 
For the purposes of applying the provisions of Article XI:

 

(a)           “Top-Heavy
Compensation” shall mean the first $200,000 (or, beginning January 1, 1986,
such larger amount as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may prescribe) of
compensation as defined (without any exclusions specified in Exhibit 1) in
Exhibit 1. This Section shall not restrict a Participant’s deduction under Code
Section 404, or the amount of contribution or benefit accrued under Code
Section 415.

 

(b)           “Determination
Date” for any Plan Year is the last day of the preceding Plan Year or, in the
case of the first Plan Year, the last day of that Plan Year.

 

(c)           “Key
Employee” shall mean, as of any Determination Date, any Employee or former
Employee (and the beneficiaries thereof) who, at any time during the Plan Year
(which includes the Determination Date) or during the preceding four Plan
Years, is an officer of the Employer whose compensation is more than 50% of the
dollar limitation under Section 415(b)(1)(A), one of the Participants owning the
ten largest interests in the Employer if such Participant’s Compensation
exceeds the dollar limitation under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A), a 5% owner of
the Employer, or a 1% owner of the Employer who has annual Compensation of more
than $150,000. The constructive ownership rules of Code Section 318 (or the
principles of that section, in the case of an unincorporated Employer) will
apply to determine ownership in the Employer. 
Determination of which Employees are Key Employees will be made in
accordance with Code Section 416(1)(1) and the regulations thereunder.  Key-Employee shall not include any officer
or employee of a governmental employer. 
Annual compensation means compensation as defined in Section 415(c)(3)
of the Code, but including amounts contributed by the Employer pursuant to a
salary reduction agreement which are excludible from the Employee’s gross
income under Section 125, Section 402(a)(8), Section 402(h) or Section 403(b)
of the Code.  The determination period
is the Plan Year containing the determination date and the four preceding Plan
Years.

 

(d)           “Non-Key
Employee” is an Employee who does not meet the definition of Key Employee.

 

(e)           “Present
Value” means the amount determined solely on the basis of the interest rate and
mortality table set forth in Exhibit 8.

 

(f)            “Permissive
Aggregation Group” is the Required Aggregation Group plus any other qualified
plans maintained by the Employer, but only if such group would satisfy in the
aggregate the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) and Code Section 410.

 

(g)           “Required
Aggregation Group” means:

 

(1)      Each qualified plan of the Employer in
which at least one Key Employee participates or participated at the time during
the determination period (regardless of whether the Plan has terminated); and

 

(2)      Any other qualified plan of the Employer
which enables a plan described in (1) to meet the requirements of Code Section
401(a)(4) or Code Section 410.

 

(h)           “Top–heavy
Ratio” means:

 

(1)      If the Employer maintains one or more
defined contribution plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and
the Employer has not maintained any defined benefit plan which during the five
year period ending on the determination dates has or has had accrued benefits,
the Top-heavy Ratio for this plan alone or for the required or permissive
aggregation group as appropriate, is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
sum of the account balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination
Date(s) (including any part of any account balance distributed in the 5-year
period ending on the Determination Date(s)), and the denominator of which is
the sum of all account balances (including any part of any account balance

 

29

 

distributed in the 5–year period ending on the Determination
Date(s)) both computed in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the
regulations thereunder.  Both the
numerator and denominator of the Top–heavy Ratio are increased to reflect
any contribution not actually made as of the determination date, but which is
required to be taken into account on that date under Section 416 of the Code
and the regulations thereunder.

 

(2)           If the Employer maintains one or more
defined contribution plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and
the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans
which during the five year period ending on the determination date(s) has or
has had any accrued benefits, the Top-heavy Ratio for any required or
permissive aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of account balances under the defined contribution plans for
all Key Employees determined in accordance with (1) above and the Present Value
of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for all Key Employees as of
any determination date(s), and the denominator of which is the sun of the
account balances under the defined contribution plans for all Participants
determined in accordance with (1) above and the present value of accrued
benefits under the defined benefit plans for all Participants as of the
determination date(s), all determined in accordance with Code Section 416 and
the regulations.  Both the numerator and
denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are increased for any distribution of an
account balance of an accrued benefit made in the 5–year period ending on
the Determination Date and any contribution due but unpaid as of the
Determination Date.

 

(3)           For purposes of (1) and (2) above,
the value of account balances and the Present Value of accrued benefits will be
determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with
the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in
Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder for the first and second
plan years of a defined benefit plan. 
The account balances and accrued benefits of an individual who is not a
Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or who has not
performed services with any employer maintaining the Plan at any time during
the 5–year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken
into account.  The calculation of the
Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and
transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Code Section
416 and the regulations thereunder. 
Deductible employee contributions will not be taken into account for
purposes of computing the Top-heavy Ratio. 
When aggregating plans the value of account balances and accrued
benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates that fall
within the same calendar year.

 

11.8         KEY EMPLOYEE DETERMINATION: 
Solely for the purpose of determining if the Plan or any other plan
included in a Required Aggregation Group of which this Plan is a part, is top-heavy
(within the meaning of Section 11.1) the accrued benefit in a defined
benefit plan of an employee other than a Key Employee shall be determined under
(a) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all
plans maintained by the Employer, or (b) if there Is no such method, as if such
benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under
the fractional accrual rate of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.

 

11.9         PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER: 
To the extent not required to be aggregated by other provisions of this
Article, a Participating Employer shall be considered separately for the
purpose of this Article.

ARTICLE
XII – PLAN ADMINISTRATION

 

12.1         PLAN ADMINISTRATOR: 
The Employer shall appoint a Plan Administrator in Exhibit 6. The Plan
Administrator shall serve as the named fiduciary of the Plan.  If, at any time, there is no appointed Plan
Administrator, the Employer shall be the Plan Administrator.

 

12.2         DUTIES:  The Plan
Administrator shall have the general responsibility for the administration of
the Plan and carrying out its provisions, including, but not by way of
limitation, the power to interpret and construe the Plan, and to determine the
validity of any claim for benefits under the Plan, and may establish rules for
the administration of the Plan and the transaction of its business.  Determinations on all questions arising out
of or in conjunction with the provisions of the Plan, not herein required to be
determined by another party, shall be made by the Plan Administrator, and any
such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons having an
interest in or under this Plan.

 

The Plan Administrator shall
maintain accounts reflecting the fiscal transactions of the Plan.  The Plan Administrator shall prepare
annually a report showing in reasonable detail the assets and liabilities of
the Plan and setting forth a brief account of the operation of the Plan for the
preceding year.

 

The Plan Administrator shall
exercise its discretion in such a way as to avoid discrimination in favor of
officers, shareholder, or highly compensated Employees.

 

The Plan Administrator may
employ counsel and agents and such clerical, accounting and actuarial services
as it may require in carrying out the provisions of the Plan.

 

The Plan Administrator shall
have the power to delegate specific fiduciary responsibilities to Employees of
the Employer, or to other individuals, all of whom shall serve at the pleasure
of the Plan Administrator, and, if full time Employees of the Employer, without
compensation.  Any such person may
resign by delivering written notice of such resignation to the Plan
Administrator.  Vacancies created by
resignation, death, or other cause may be filled by the Plan Administrator or
the delegated responsibilities may be reabsorbed or redelegated by the Plan
Administrator.

 

12.3         CLAIMS PROCEDURE: 
Any person who believes that he is entitled to a benefit under the Plan
shall have the right to file with the Plan Administrator a written notice of
claim for such benefit.

 

Within 60 days after its
receipt of such written notice of claim, the Plan Administrator shall either
grant or deny such claim provided, however that any delay on the part of the
Plan Administrator in arriving at a decision shall not adversely affect
benefits payable under a granted claim. 
The Plan Administrator shall provide to each claimant whose claim for
benefits is denied a written notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant: the specific reasons for such denial; specific
reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 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 an explanation of the Plan’s claim review
procedure.

 

Each claimant shall have the
right to appeal the denial of his claim to the Plan Administrator for a full
and fair review at any time within 75 days after the claimant received written
notice of such denial.  The Plan
Administrator shall thereby afford the claimant or his duly authorized
representative the opportunity (i) to review documents pertinent to the claim,
(ii) to submit issues and comments in writing, and (iii) to discuss such
documents and issues with the Plan Administrator.

 

The final decision of the Plan
Administrator shall be made promptly, and not later than 60 days after its
receipt from the claimant of a request for review unless circumstances beyond
the control of the Plan Administrator require an extension of time for
processing, in which case a decision shall be made as soon as possible but not
later than 120 days after receipt of a request for review.  Such decision shall be made in writing and
shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated
to be understood by the claimant, and specific references to pertinent Plan
provisions on which the decision is based.

 

12.4         ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES:     All
expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining the Plan shall be paid from
the Trust Fund, unless the Employer or Participating Employer, in its
discretion, elects to pay all or part of such expenses.

a Trustee except for reimbursement of expenses properly and actually
incurred.  The Employer shall pay the
Trustee its fees and expenses.  If not
so paid, the Trustee shall withdraw its fees and expenses from the Trust Fund.

entitled to withhold making payments or giving directions to the Insurer with
respect to the payment of benefits until the identity and mailing addresses of
persons entitled to benefits are properly certified to it including the
certification as to amount, payee, and other terns of payments.  The Trustee or the Plan Administrator may
direct the Insurer to make distributions directly from Plan assets held by the
Insurer.

from any liability or accountability to anyone as respects its transactions,
except with respect to any transaction as to which the Plan Administrator
shall, within the sixty (60) day period, file its written disapproval, and
neither the Plan Administrator nor any other person shall have the right to

13.10       DEALING WITH THE INSURER: 
The Trustee is hereby authorized to execute all necessary applications,
receipts, and releases to the Insurer. 
The Insurer shall be fully discharged from any and all liability for any
action taken by it upon the written direction of any one Trustee.  The Trustee shall have no responsibility for
the form, genuineness, validity, sufficiency or effect of any Insurance Policy
or Annuity Contract at any time included in the Trust, or for any action of the
Participating Employer, Plan Administrator, Employee, or other person which may
render such Policy or Contract void, or for the failure of any Insurer to pay
the proceeds of any such policy or contract as and when the same shall became
payable, or for any delay occasioned by reason of any provisions contained in
any such Policy or Contract, or for the refusal of the Insurer to take any
action requested by the Trustee, or if for any reason whatsoever (save for the
misconduct or neglect of an employee of the Trustee) any policy or contract
shall lapse or otherwise become uncollectible.

 

13.11       LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: 
The Trustee shall use the care, skill, prudence and diligence in the
exercise of its powers and the performance of its duties hereunder that a
prudent person, who is familiar with such matters, would use in the conduct of
an enterprise of a like character and with like aims under the prevailing
circumstances.  The Trustee may at any
time request instruction of the Employer, the Plan Administrator, Participant
or the investment manager, if any, as to any action relating to the Trust.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted on the instruction of the Employer, Participant, the
Plan Administrator, or the investment manager or in the absence of such
instructions, for the omission of any actions to which the Employer,
Participant, the Plan Administrator, or the Investment Manager, are required or
authorized to instruct it; or for any failure of contributions to meet pension
or other liabilities under this Plan and Trust.  The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice,
resolution, order, certificate, opinion, telegram, or letter or other document
believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper
party or parties.

 

13.12       CO-TRUSTEES:  Any one
of the Trustees may sign any application, report, check, other instrument or
paper on behalf of all Trustees.  If one
or more Trustees die or resign, the remaining Trustee or Trustees shall
continue to administer this Trust until such time as the Employer appoints an
appropriate successor or successors; and the Plan Administrator shall resolve
any differences that may exist among an even number of Trustees in the interim
and its decision shall be binding on the Trustees.

 

33

 

13.13       TRUSTEE REMOVAL OR RESIGNATION:  The Trustee may resign at any time upon delivering to the
Employer a written notice of its intention to resign.  Such resignation shall be effective not less than 30 days after
the delivery thereof, unless such notice is waived by the Employer.

 

Any Trustee appointed hereunder
may be removed by the Employer.  Such
removal shall be effective at a date specified in the written notice to the
Trustee, which shall not be less than 30 days after the delivery of such
notice, unless such notice is waived by the Trustee.

 

In case of the resignation or
removal of the Trustee, the Trustee shall have the right to a settlement of its
accounts, which may be made at its option either: (1) by agreement of
settlement between the Trustee, the Employer and the Plan Administrator, or (2)
by judicial settlement in an action instituted by it in a court of competent
jurisdiction.

 

Upon such settlement, the
Trustee shall transfer to the successor trustee or to an Insurer the Trust Fund
as It may then be constituted and true copies of such of its records as relate
to the Trust; and shall execute all documents necessary for transferring the
assets of the Trust: and the Trustee shall thereupon be discharged from further
accountability for all matters embraced in its settlement.

 

The Employer agrees that it
will, upon its receipt or giving of notice of the resignation or removal of a
Trustee, forthwith appoint a successor Trustee.  Any successor Trustee so appointed may qualify as such by
executing, acknowledging, and delivering to the Employer and to the resigning
or removed Trustee any instrument accepting such appointment; and upon delivery
of the Trust assets, such successor, without further act, shall become vested
with all the estate, right, powers, discretion and duties of its predecessor
Trustee with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein.  If no Trustee is appointed, the individual
signing the most recent Adoption Agreement on behalf of the Employer shall be
the Trustee.

ARTICLE
XIV – AMENDMENT,
MERGER, AND TERMINATION

 

14.1      AMENDMENT:  The Employer may amend the Adoption Agreement to change the
choice of any option in the Adoption Agreement, add overriding language in the
Adoption Agreement when such language is necessary to satisfy Section 415 or
Section 416 of the Code because of the required aggregation of multiple plans,
and add certain model amendments published by the Internal Revenue Service
which specifically provide that their adoption will not cause the Plan to he
treated as individually designed.  The
Employer shall promptly submit copies of the amendment to the Trustee, Plan
Administrator, and Insurer.  The
Trustee, Plan Administrator or Insurer shall not be on notice of the contents
thereof until a copy is actually received. 
If the Employer amends this Plan for any other reason (including a
waiver of the minimum funding requirement under Section 412(d) of the Code, or
the Employer’s Plan does not attain or retain qualification, or the Employer
chooses to discontinue participation in this Plan and does not substitute an
approved Master or Prototype Plan, the Employer’s Plan shall cease to be a
prototype plan and shall thereafter be considered to be an individually
designed plan.

 

Nationwide may amend any part
of the Plan and Trust without prior notice to the Employer or any person having
an interest in the Plan.

 

No amendment shall (a) increase
the duties or liabilities of the Trustee or Plan Administrator without their
written consent; (b) deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any Accrued
Benefit or eliminate an optional form of benefit; (c) provide that Trust assets
be used for purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and
their Beneficiaries, or that Trust assets ever revert to or be used or enjoyed
by any Participating Employer; (d) retroactively deprive a Participant or a
Beneficiary of any Accrued Benefit; provided, however, that any amendment may
be made retroactive which is necessary to qualify this Plan and Trust as a
tax-exempt retirement plan. 
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant’s Accrued Benefit
may be reduced to the extent permitted under Code Section 412(c)(8).
Furthermore, no amendment to the Plan shall have the effect of decreasing a
Participant’s vested interest determined without regard to such amendment as of
the later of the date such amendment is adopted or the date it becomes
effective.

 

If the Plan’s vesting Schedule
is amended, or the Plan is amended in any way that directly or indirectly
affects the computation of a Participant’s vested interest in his Accrued
Benefit, each Participant with at least 5 (3, beginning on the first Plan Year
on or after January 1, 1989) years of service (as computed under Code
Regulation 1.411(a)­8(b)(3)) may elect, within a period after the adoption of
the amendment, to have his vested interest computed under the Plan without
regard to such amendment.  The period
during which the election may be made shall commence with the date the
amendment is adopted and shall end 60 days after the amendment is effective, is
adopted, or the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment,
whichever is latest.

 

If the adoption of this Plan
constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Plan of the Employer, such
amendment and restatement shall not eliminate, to the extent accrued, an
optional form of benefit previously provided under the prior plan.

 

14.2      MERGER:  No merger or consolidation of this Plan
with, or transfer of its assets or liabilities to, any other plan, shall be
effected unless each Participant would receive a benefit immediately after the
merger, consolidation., or transfer, if the Plan was then terminated, which is
at least equal to the benefit he would have been entitled to receive had the
Plan terminated immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer.

 

14.3      TERMINATION:  The Employer expects to continue the Plan
indefinitely but reserves the right to terminate or partially terminate the
Plan at any time.  In the event of
termination, partial termination, or the complete discontinuance of
contributions (in the case of a Plan in which Code Section 412 does not apply),
each Participant affected thereby shall automatically be 100% vested in his
Accrued Benefit.  The Plan Administrator
will direct the Trustee(s) to distribute all assets to Participants upon
termination of the Plan.

ARTICLE
XV – DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER

 

15.1        DEFINITIONS:  “Domestic Relations Order” or “DRO” means any judgment, decree,
or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement), issued by a
state court pursuant to a state domestic relations law, which provides for
child support, alimony, or marital property rights to an Alternate Payee.

 

“Alternate Payee” means a
Spouse, former Spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant who is recognized
by a DRO as having a right to receive a benefit under the Plan.

 

15.2        PROCEDURES:  The Plan Administrator shall provide written
notice to the Participant concerned and any Alternate Payee named that the DRO
was served on the Plan.  Such notices shall
be sent by mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses of the Participant and
Alternate Payee specified in the DRO (or the last known address of either if
the DRD does not include an address). A copy of this Procedure shall be
included with the notice, and any Alternate Payee shall be permitted to
designate a representative to receive copies of any additional notices to be
provided with respect to the DRO.

 

The Plan Administrator will
establish a separate interest bearing account in the Plan in which to segregate
all amounts which would be payable to the Alternate Payee pursuant to the DRO
during the period between the receipt of such order and a determination that
such order constitutes a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (“QDRO”). If it is
determined within 18 months that the DRO (including any modifications thereof)
is a QDRO, all sums held in the account shall be distributed to the Alternate
Payee according to the terms of the QDRO. 
If the DRO (including any modification thereof) is determined not to be
a QDRO, or no determination is made within 18 months from the date of receipt
of such DRO, the balance in the account shall be distributed pursuant to the
terms of the Plan or credited to the account of the Participant.

 

The Plan Administrator shall
determine whether the DRO constitutes a QDRO. 
Only an order which meets the following criteria shall constitute a
QDRO:

 

(a)            It specifies the name and last known
mailing address (if any) of the affected Participant and the name and mailing
address of each Alternate Payee;

 

(b)           It states the amount or percentage of
the Participant’s benefits to be paid by the Plan to each Alternate Payee, or
the manner in which such amount or percentage is to be determined;

 

(c)           It states the period for which it is
to apply (or the number of payments);

 

(d)           It specifies the Plan or Plans to
which it applies;

 

(e)           It does not provide a form of benefit
or options which are unavailable under the Plan, provided, however, that it may
require payments to an Alternate Payee prior to the Participant’s separation
from the service if:

 

(1)  the payment specified does not exceed that to
which the Participant would have been entitled had he retired on that date
taking into account only the present value of his Accrued Benefit (and not
considering any early retirement subsidy provided by the Plan); and

 

(2)  the payment form is a benefit option available
to the Participant under the Plan (other than a joint and survivor annuity for
the Alternate Payee and his or her subsequent spouse).

 

(f)                       It does not require the
Plan to provide an increased benefit; and

 

(g)           It does not provide for payment of
benefits to an Alternate Payee which are required, pursuant to a prior QDRO, to
be paid to another Alternate Payee.

 

Once the Plan Administrator has
made a determination pursuant to this procedure, notice shall be provided to
the Participant and Alternate Payee, or designated representative, in the
manner specified herein.  If the DRO is
determined to he a QDRO, the Plan Administrator shall comply with its terms in
making future distributions from the Plan.

ARTICLE XVI – DISCRIMINATION TESTING AND
OTHER ISSUES

 

16.1        MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF
SALARY DEFERRALS:  A Participant’s
Salary Deferral Contributions during any taxable year shall not exceed the
dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Code in effect at the
beginning of such taxable year.

 

16.2        DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS
SALARY DEFERRALS:  If an excess Salary
Deferral Contribution was made for any taxable year, such contribution will be
distributed no later than the April 15th after the taxable year in which
allocated.  Prior to such distribution,
the Participant must make a claim in writing for such contribution by March
30th of the year after allocation.  Such
claim must state that if such amounts are not distributed, such amounts when
added to amounts deferred under other plans described in 401(k), 408(k) or
403(b) of the Code will exceed the limit set forth in 402(g) of the Code.  Such amounts described in Section 16.1 or
this Section shall be referred to as an excess Salary Deferral
Contribution.  The amount of any
distribution under this Section or Section 16.1 shall be adjusted by the income
or loss attributed to such excess Salary Deferral Contribution.  The income or loss allocable to excess
Salary Deferral Contributions for a taxable year is determined by multiplying
the income or loss for the taxable year allocable to Salary Deferral
Contributions by a fraction.  The
numerator of the fraction is the Participant’s excess Salary Deferral
Contributions for the prior taxable year. 
The denominator is the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable
to Salary Deferral Contributions as of the end of the prior taxable year
(without regard to any income or loss occurring during such taxable year). Such
amount shall be determined by multiplying 10% of the income or loss determined
above by the calendar months between the end of the Participant’s taxable year
and the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if the
distribution occurs after the 15th of the month.

 

16.3         DISCRIMINATION TESTING FOR SALARY DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND
AMOUNTS TREATED AS SALARY DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS: The Average Actual Deferral
Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the Average
Actual Deferral Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the same
Plan Year must satisfy one of the following tests:

 

(a)     The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not
exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are
Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

 

(b)     The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not
exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are
Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided
that the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees does not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage
for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two
percentage points.

 

16.4         SPECIAL RULES:  The Actual Deferral Percentage for any Participant
who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who is eligible to
have Salary Deferral Contributions (and amounts treated as Salary Deferral
Contributions), allocated to his subaccounts under two or more arrangements
described in Section 401(k) of the Code that are maintained by the Employer
(other than Plans not required to be aggregated under regulation
1.401(k)-1(b)(5)(ii)) shall be determined as if such contributions were made
under a single arrangement.  If elected
in Exhibit 3, to the extent that Qualified Non-Elective and 100% Vested
Matching Contributions are treated under this Section as Salary Deferral
Contributions, all such contributions made during the Plan Year shall be
treated as Salary Deferral Contributions. 
If such arrangements have different Plan Years, all cash or deferred
arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a
single arrangement.

 

In the event that this Plan
satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(k), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) of the Code
only If aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans
satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with
this Plan, then this Section shall be applied by determining the Actual
Deferral Percentage of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan.  For Plan Years beginning after December 31,
1989, plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code
only if they have the same Plan Year.

 

For purposes of determining the
Actual Deferral Percentage of a Participant who is a 5% owner or one of the ten
most highly paid Highly Compensated Employees, Salary Deferral Contributions,
amounts treated as Salary Deferral Contributions, and Compensation of such
Participant shall include the Salary Deferral Contributions, amounts treated as
Salary Deferral Contributions, and Compensation for the Plan Year of Family
Members (regardless of whether such Family Members are Highly Compensated
Employees). For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, the Actual
Deferral Percentage of such Participant shall be the greater of the Actual
Deferral Percentage as calculated under the previous sentence or the Actual
Deferral Percentage calculated as combining the above amounts only for Highly Compensated
Employees who are Family Members. 
Family Members, with respect to such Highly Compensated Employees, shall
be disregarded as separate employees in determining the Actual Deferral
Percentage both for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees and
for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees.

 

For purposes of this Section,
all Salary Deferral Contributions (and amounts treated as Salary Deferral
Contributions) must be made before the last day of the 12-month period
immediately following the Plan Year to which contributions relate.

 

37

 

The Employer shall maintain
records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the test described in this
Section and the amount and source of contributions used in the test.

 

The determination and treatment
of contributions made above shall satisfy such other requirements as may be
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

 

16.5        DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS
CONTRIBUTIONS:  Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, Excess Contributions plus any income and minus any
loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed to the Participating Employer on
or before the 15th day of the third month following the end of each Plan Year
to which such contributions relate (without being subject to Section 16.11),
but in no event later than the last day of the Plan Year subsequent to the Plan
Year to which such excess relates.  Such
distributions shall be made to Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the
respective portions of the Excess Contributions attributable to each of such
employees.  Excess Contributions shall
be allocated to Participants who are subject to the family member aggregation
rules of Section 414(g)(6) of the Code in the manner prescribed by the regulations.  The income or loss allocable to Excess
Contributions for a Plan Year is determined by multiplying the income or loss
for the Plan Year which is allocable to the portion of the Participant’s
Account attributable to Salary Deferral Contributions (and amounts treated as
Salary Deferral Contributions) by a fraction. 
The numerator of the fraction is the Participant’s excess Salary
Deferral Contributions (and amounts treated as Salary Deferral Contributions)
for the prior Plan Year.  The denominator
is the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to Salary Deferral
Contributions (and amounts treated as Salary Deferral Contributions) as of the
end of the prior Plan Year (determined without regard to any income or loss
occurring during such Plan Year). Income or loss from the end of the Plan Year
to the date of distribution shall also be distributed.  Such amount shall be determined by
multiplying 10% of the income or loss determined above by the number of whole
calendar months between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution,
counting the month of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of
such month.  Such Excess Contributions
shall also be treated as Annual Additions under the Plan.  Such distributions are neither subject to
any tax on early withdrawals nor any spousal consent requirements set forth in
this Plan.

 

Amounts distributed under this
Section shall be made from the Participant’s Salary Deferral and 100% Vested
Matching subaccounts (to the extent such contributions were treated under
Section 16.3 for such Plan Year as Salary Deferral Contributions) in proportion
to the Participant’s Elective Deferrals and 100% Vested Matching Contributions
made for the Plan Year.  Excess
Contributions shall be distributed from the Participant’s Qualified
Non-Elective Contribution subaccount only to the extent that such Excess
Contributions exceed the balance in the Participant’s Salary Deferral and 100%
Vested Matching subaccounts.

 

For the purpose Section 16.3,
16.4, 16.5, and 16.9 the following definitions apply:

 

(a)     “Actual Deferral Percentage” or “ADP” shall
mean the ratio (expressed as a percentage, calculated separately, and effective
the first Plan Year beginning in 1989, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) of Salary
Deferral Contributions and amounts treated as Salary Deferral Contributions on
behalf of a Participant (whether or not the Participant was employed for the
entire Plan Year) for the Plan Year (including amounts returned to Highly
Compensated Employees pursuant to Section 15.2) to the Participant’s
Compensation for the Plan Year.  The
Actual Deferral Percentage of an Employee who is eligible to, but does not make
a Salary Deferral Contribution, and who does not receive an allocation of a
Salary Deferral Contribution, is zero.

 

(b)     “Average Actual Deferral Percentage” shall
mean the average (expressed as a percentage and, effective the first Plan Year
beginning in 1989, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) of the Actual Deferral
Percentages of the Participants in a group.

 

(c)     “Excess Contribution” shall mean, with
respect to any Plan Year for each Highly Compensated Employee, the excess of:

 

(1)    The amount of Salary Deferral Contributions
and amounts treated as Salary Deferral Contributions actually taken into
account with respect to a Highly Compensated Employee for such Plan Year in
computing the Average Actual Deferral Percentage, over;

 

(2)    The maximum amount of such contributions
permitted in computing the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for such Highly
Compensated Employees in order of the Actual Deferral Percentages, beginning
with the highest of such percentages until the Average Actual Deferral
Percentage test set forth in Section 16.3 is satisfied.

 

For the purpose of Sections
16.3. 16.4, and 16.5, 100% Vested Matching Contributions and Qualified
Non-Elective Contributions, if elected in Exhibit 3 of the Adoption Agreement,
will be treated as Salary Deferral Contributions.  If elected, all such contributions made during the Plan Year
shall be treated as Salary Deferral Contributions.  However, any contributions not considered under Section 16.3 must
be considered under Section 16.6. Salary Deferral Contributions may be excluded
under this Section and shall be applied in Section 16.6 providing the test set
forth in Section 16.3 is satisfied both with and without exclusion of these
contributions.

 

16.6         DISCRIMINATION
TESTING––MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. 
AMOUNTS TREATED AS MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS, AND EMPLOYEE
CONTRIBUTIONS:  The Average Contribution
Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the Average
Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the same Plan
Year must satisfy one of the following tests:

 

38

 

(a)     The Average Contribution Percentage for
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not
exceed, the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly
Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

 

(b)     The Average Contribution Percentage for
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not
exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly
Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two, provided that the
Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees does not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants
who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage points.

 

16.7         SPECIAL RULES:  For purposes of this Section, the
Contribution Percentage for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated
Employee and who is eligible to make Employee Contributions, or to have
Matching Contributions and amounts treated as Matching Contributions allocated
to his account under two or more plans described in Section 401(a) of the Code,
or arrangements described in Section 401(k) of the Code, that are maintained by
the Employer (other than Plans not required to be aggregated under regulation
1.401(m)–1(b)(4)(ii)), shall be determined as if the total of such
contributions were made under a single arrangement.  If elected in Exhibit 3, to the extent that 100% Vested Matching
Contribution or Qualified Non-Elective Contributions are treated as Matching
Contributions, all such contributions made for the Plan Year shall be treated
as Matching Contributions.

 

In the event that this Plan
satisfies the requirements of Section 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated
with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the
requirements of Section 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan,
then this Section shall be applied by determining the Contribution Percentages
of Participants as if all such plans were a single plan.

 

For purposes of determining the
Contribution Percentage of a Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee,
the Employee Contributions, Matching Contributions and amounts treated as
Matching Contributions, and Compensation of such Participant shall include the
Employee Contributions.  Matching
Contributions, amounts treated as Matching Contributions, and Compensation of
Family Members (regardless of whether such Family Members are Highly
Compensated Employees). For Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 1987,
the Contribution Percentage of such Participant shall be the greater of the
Contribution Percentage as calculated under the previous sentence or the
Contribution Percentage calculated as combining the above amounts only for
Highly Compensated Employees who are Family Members.  Family Members, with respect to Highly Compensated Employees,
shall be disregarded as separate employees in determining the Actual Deferral
Percentage both for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees and
for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees.

 

For purposes of this Section,
the Contribution Percentage for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated
Employee and who is eligible to have Contribution Percentage amounts allocated
to his Account under two or more plans described in Section 401(a) of the Code,
or arrangements described in Section 401(k) of the Code that are maintained by
the Employer, shall be determined as if the total of such Contribution
Percentage amounts was made under each plan. 
If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more cash or
deferral arrangements that have different plan years, all cash or deferred
arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a
single arrangement.

 

In the event that this Plan
satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(m), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code
only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans
satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with
this Plan, then this Section shall be applied by determining the Contribution
Percentage of employees as if all such plans were a single plan.  For Plan Years beginning after December 31,
1989, plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Section 401(m) of the Code
only if they have the same Plan Year.

 

For purposes of determining the
Contribution Percentage of a Participant who is a 5% owner or one of the ten
most highly–paid Highly Compensated Employees, the Contribution
Percentage amounts and Compensation of such Participant shall include the
Contribution Percentage amounts and Compensation for the Plan Year of family
members (as defined in Section 414(q)(6) of the Code). Family members, with
respect to Highly Compensated Employees, shall be disregarded as separate
Employees in determining the Contribution Percentage both for Participants who
are Non-Highly Compensated Employees and for Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees.

 

For purposes of determining the
Contribution Percentage test, Employee Contributions are considered to have
been made in the Plan Year in which contributed to the trust.  Matching Contributions and Qualified
Non-Elective Contributions will be considered made for a Plan Year if made no
later than the end of the 12–month period beginning on the day after the
close of the Plan Year.

 

The Employer shall maintain
records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the ACP test and the amount
of Qualified Non-Elective Contributions or 100% Vested Matching Contributions,
or both, used in such test.

 

The determination and treatment
of the Contribution Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other
requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

 

16.8         DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS:  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan.  Excess Aggregate Contributions,
plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall (if required) be
distributed on or before the 15th day of the third month following the end of
the Plan Year in which such contribution relates (without being subject to
Section 16.11). but in no event later than the last day of the Plan Year
subsequent to the Plan Year in which such contributions relate.  Such Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be
allocated to Participants who are

 

39

 

subject to the family member
aggregation rules of Section 414(g)(6) of the Code in the manner prescribed by
the regulations.  Prior to the
distribution or forfeiture of Excess Aggregate Contributions, Matching Contributions
for which the corresponding Salary Deferral Contribution has been returned
pursuant to Section 16.2, 16.3, or this Section, shall be treated as a
forfeiture and used to reduce the next Participating Employer Contribution.  Employee Contributions which are considered
Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Parti­cipant.  Remaining nonvested Excess Aggregate
Contributions shall be treated as a forfeiture and used to reduce the next
Participating Employer Contribution.  Remaining
Vested Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be distributed to affected Highly
Compensated Employees and Family Members. 
The income or loss allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions for a
Plan Year is determined by multiplying the income or loss for the Plan Year
which is allocable to the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to
Matching and Employee Contributions (and amounts treated as . Matching
Contributions) by a fraction.  The
numerator of the fraction is the Participant’s Excess Aggregate Contri­butions
for the Plan Year.  The denominator is
the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to Excess Aggregate
Contributions (and amounts treated as Matching Contributions) as of the end of
the Plan Year (without regard to any income or loss occurring during such Plan
Year). Income or loss from the end of the Plan Year to the date of distribution
shall also be distributed.  Such amount
shall be determined by multiplying by 10% the amount determined above by the
number of whole calendar months between the end of the Plan Year and the date
of distribution, counting the month of distribution if the distribution occurs
after the 15th of such month.  Excess
Aggregate Contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions under the Plan.

 

Amounts distributable under
this Section shall be made from the Participants subaccount attributable to
Employee Contributions, Non–100% Vested Matching Contributions, or if
considered under Section 16.6 for the Plan Year.  Qualified Non-Elective, 100% Vested Matching or Salary Deferral
Contributions, first from any unmatched Employee Contributions, and then in
proportion to such remaining contributions for the Plan Year.

 

The determination of the Excess
Aggregate Contributions shall be made after first determining the excess Salary
Deferral Contributions, and then determining the Excess Contributions.

 

For purposes of Section
16.6.16.7, 16.8, and 16.9 the following definitions shall apply:

 

(a)      “Average Contribution Percentage” or “ACP”
shall mean the average (expressed as a percentage and calculated separately far
each Participant, and effective the first Plan Year beginning in 1989, to the
nearest 1/100 of 1%) of the Contribution Percentages of the Participants in a
group.

 

(b)      “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the
ratio (expressed as a percentage, and effective the first Plan Year beginning
in 1989, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) of the sum of the Employee Contributions
and Non–100% Vested Matching Contributions under the Plan on behalf of
the Participant (whether or not he was employed for the entire Plan Year) for
the Plan Year to the Participant’s Compensation far the Plan Year.  Such Contribution Percentage amounts shall
include forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions or Matching Contributions
allocated to the Participant’s Account which shall be taken into account in the
year in which such forfeiture is allocated.

 

(c)      “Excess Aggregate Contributions” shall
mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of:

 

(1)    The aggregate Employee Contributions.  Non–100% Vested Matching
Contributions, and amounts treated as Non–100% Vested Matching
Contributions, taken into account in computing the numerator of the
Contribution Percentage of each Highly Compensated Employee for such Plan Year,
over

 

(2)    The maximum amount of such contributions
permitted by the Average Contribution Percentage test set forth in Section 16.6
for such Highly Compensated Employee (determined by reducing contributions made
on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Contribution
Percentages beginning with the highest of such percentages until the Average
Contribution Percentage test is set forth in Section 16.6 is satisfied).

 

For the purpose of Section
16.6, 16.7, and 16.8. Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and 100% Vested
Matching Contributions, provided such an election is made in Exhibit 3, will be
treated as Matching Contributions. 
However, any contributions considered under Section 16.3 may not be
considered under Section 16.6. The Employer also may elect to use Salary
Deferral Contributions in the Contribution Percentage amounts so long as the
ADP test is met before the deferrals are used in the ACP test and continues to
be met following the exclusion of those deferrals that are used to meet the ACP
test.

 

16.9        MULTIPLE USE
DISCRIMINATION TEST:  Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan, effective the first Plan Year beginning in
1989, this Plan shall comply with regulation 1.401(m)–2 of the Code.

 

For the purpose of the
discrimination test set forth in this Section. 
Salary Deferral Contributions may only be used to satisfy the
discrimination test set forth to Section 16.6 to the extent necessary to meet
the discrimination test set forth in Section 16.6, and only if such remaining
Salary Deferral Contributions meet the discrimination test set forth in Section
16.3. This test shall be performed after the return of contributions set forth
in Section 16.2, 16.5, and 16.8.

 

If one or more Highly
Compensated Employees participate in both a cash or deferred arrangement and a
plan subject to the ACP test maintained by the Employer and the sum of the ADP
and ACP of those Highly Compensated Employees subject to either or both tests
exceeds the Aggregate Limit, then the ACP of those Highly Compensated Employees
who also

 

40

 

participate in a cash or
deferred arrangement will be reduced (beginning with such Highly Compensated
Employee whose ACP is the highest) so that the limit is not exceeded.  The amount by which each Highly Compensated
Employee’s Contribution Percentage amounts is reduced shall be treated as an
Excess Aggregate Contribution.  The ADP
and ACP of the Highly Compensated Employees are determined after any corrections
required to meet the ADP and ACP tests. 
Multiple use does not occur if both the ADP and ACP of the Highly
Compensated Employees does not exceed 1.25 multiplied by the ADP and ACP of the
Non-Highly Compensated Employees.

 

16.10       DEFINITIONS:  For the
purpose of this Article, and as otherwise required under the terms of this
Plan:

 

“Adjustment Factor” shall mean
the cost of living factor prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under
Section 415(d) of the Code for years beginning after December 31, 1987, as
applied to such items and in such manner as the Secretary shall provide.

 

“Aggregate Limit” shall mean
the sum of (i) 125% of the greater of the ADP of the Non-Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year or the ACP of Non-Highly Compensated Employees
under the Plan subject to Code Section 401(m) for the Plan Year beginning with
or within the Plan Year in the cash or deferred arrangement and (ii) the lesser
of 200% or two plus the lesser of such ADP or ACP.

 

“Family Member” shall mean an
individual described in Section 414(q)(6)(B) of the Code.

 

“Highly Compensated Employee”
shall include highly compensated active employees and highly compensated former
employees.

 

A highly compensated active
employee includes any Employee who performs service for the Employer during the
determination year and who, during the look–back year: (i) received
compensation from the Employer in excess of $75,000 (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 415(d) of the Code); (ii) received compensation from the Employer in
excess of $50.000 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 415(d) of the Code) and was
a member of the top–paid group for such year; or (iii) was an officer of
the Employer and received compensation during such year that is greater than
50% of the dollar limitation in effect under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the
Code.  The term highly compensated
active employee also includes: (i) employees who are both described in the
preceding sentence if the term “determination year” is substituted for the term
“look–back year” and the Employee is one of the 100 employees who received
the most compensation from the Employer during the determination year; and (ii)
employees who are 5% owners at any time during the look–back year or
determination year.

 

If no officer has satisfied the
compensation requirement of (iii) above during either a determination year or
look–back year, the highest paid officer for such year shall be treated
as a Highly Compensated Employee.

 

For this purpose, the
determination year shall be the Plan Year. 
The look–back year shall be the 12–month period immediately
preceding the determination year.

 

A highly compensated former
employee includes any Employee who separated from service (or was deemed to
have separated) prior to the determination year, performs no service for the
Employer during the determination year, and was a highly compensated active
employee for either the separation year or any determination year ending on or
after the employee’s 55th birthday.

 

If an Employee is, during a
determination year or look–back year, a family member of either a 5% owner
who is an active or former employee or a highly compensated employee who is one
of the 10 most highly compensated employees ranked on the basis of compensation
paid by the Employer during such year, then the family meter and the 5% owner
or top–ten highly compensated employee shall be aggregated.  In such case, the family member and 5% owner
or top–ten highly compensated employee shall be treated as a single
employee receiving compensation and plan contributions or benefits equal to the
sum of such compensation and contributions or benefits of the family member and
5% owner or top–ten highly compensated employee.  For purposes of this Section, family member
includes the spouse, lineal ascendants and descendants of the employee or
former employee and the spouses of such lineal ascendants and descendants.

 

The determination of who is a
highly compensated employee, including the determinations of the number and
identity of employees in the top–paid group, the top 100 employees, the
number of employees treated as officers and the compensation that is
considered, will be made in accordance with Section 414(g) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder.

 

“Non-Highly Compensated
Employee” shall mean an Employee of the Employer who is neither a Highly
Compensated Employee nor a Family Meter.

 

16.11       EXCISE TAX:  The
Employer shall be liable for a 10% excise tax which is imposed on any Excess
Contributions or Excess Aggregate Contribution which is part of the Plan for a
Plan Year ending in a taxable year of the Employer.  No tax shall be imposed under this Section if the Excess
Contribution and the Excess Aggregate Contribution is distributed, or if
permitted by the Plan, forfeited, within two and one–half months of the
following Plan Year.

ARTICLE
XVII – MISCELLANEOUS

 

17.1         EMPLOYMENT
RIGHTS:  No provision of this Plan shall
be deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the service of his
Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge an
Employee at any time.

 

17.2         NOTICES:  Whenever provision is made in the Plan that
a Participant may exercise any option or election or designate any Beneficiary,
the action of such Participant shall be evidenced by a written notice signed by
the Participant and delivered to the Plan Administrator in person or by
mail.  If a form is furnished by the
Plan Administrator for such purpose, a Participant shall give written notice of
his exercise of any option or election or of his designation of any Beneficiary
on the form provided for such purpose. 
Written notice shall not be effective until received by the Plan
Administrator.

 

17.3         OWNER-EMPLOYEE
PROVISIONS:  If this Plan provides
contributions or benefits for one or more Owner-Employees who control both the
business for which this Plan is established and one or more other trades or
businesses, this Plan and the plan established for other trades or businesses
must, when looked at as a single plan, satisfy Code Sections 401(a) and (d) for
the employees of this and all other trades or businesses.

 

If the Plan provides
contributions or benefits for one or more Owner-Employees who control one or
more other trades or businesses, the employees of the other trades or
businesses must be included in a plan which satisfies Code Sections 401(a) and
(d) and which provides contributions and benefits not less favorable than
provided for Owner-Employees under this Plan.

 

If a Participant is covered as
an Owner-Employee under the plans of two or more trades or businesses which are
not con­trolled and the Participant controls a trade or business, then the
