   1   RSP - Art. I   ARTICLE I      PURPOSE    The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employee thrift, to create added employee   interest in the affairs of Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., to provide a means for becoming   a shareholder in Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., to supplement retirement and death   benefits, and to create a competitive compensation program for employees through the   establishment of a formal plan under which contributions by and on behalf of Participants are   supplemented by contributions of Employing Companies.  The Plan consists of two components,   one of which is designed to qualify as a profit sharing plan under Code Section 401(a) that   includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Code Section 401(k),   and the other of which is designed to qualify as a stock bonus plan under Code Section 401(a)   and as an employee stock ownership plan under Code Section 4975(e)(7).         The Plan originally was effective as of January 1, 1999, immediately following the   December 31, 1998 effective date of the merger of the Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc.   Hourly Employees Retirement Savings Plan with the Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc.   Salaried Employees Retirement Savings Plan.        The Company amended and restated the Plan effective as of January 1, 2007 and again   effective as of January 1, 2009, in order to meet the requirements of the 2008 Cumulative List in   Notice 2008-108 for Cycle D Plans and to comply with the requirements of the Pension Protection   Act of 2006, the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008 and the Worker, Retiree   and Employer Recovery Act of 2008.      The Company hereby amends and restates the Plan, generally effective as of January 1,   2015, in order to (i) meet the safe harbor requirements under Code Section 401(k)(12), (ii) add a   loan feature, and (iii) meet the requirements of the 2013 Cumulative List in Notice 2013-84 for   Cycle D Plans.        

 

   RSP - Art. II  2   ARTICLE II      DEFINITIONS    All references to articles, sections, subsections, and paragraphs shall be to articles, sections,   subsections, and paragraphs of this Plan unless another reference is expressly set forth in this Plan.    Any words used in the masculine shall be read and be construed in the feminine where they would   so apply.  Words in the singular shall be read and construed in the plural, and all words in the plural   shall be read and construed in the singular in all cases where they would so apply.        For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise required by the context or unless otherwise   defined in the Appendix B Schedules attached hereto, the following terms shall have the meanings   set forth opposite such terms:    2.1 “Account” shall mean the total amount credited to the account of a Participant, as   described in Section 9.1.  To the extent that all or part of an Account is invested in Common   Stock, the Account may consist of two components, one of which is attributable to the Profit   Sharing Component of the Plan (which includes that portion of the Account that is invested in   any Investment Fund other than the Company Stock Fund), and the other of which is attributable   to the ESOP Component of the Plan (which includes that portion of the Account that is invested   in the Company Stock Fund, and which shall be subject to the provisions of Article XVIII).   2.2 “Actual Contribution Percentage Test” shall mean the test described in Section   5.4(a).   2.3 “Actual Deferral Percentage” shall mean the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of   the Before-Tax Contributions (excluding Catch-Up Contributions) made on behalf of an Eligible   Participant for the Plan Year to the Eligible Participant’s compensation (within the meaning of   Code Section 414(s)) for the Plan Year.  For the purpose of determining an Eligible Participant’s   Actual Deferral Percentage for a Plan Year, the Plan Committee may elect to consider an   Eligible Participant’s compensation for (a) the entire Plan Year or (b) that portion of the Plan   Year in which the Eligible Participant was eligible to have Before-Tax Contributions made on   his behalf, provided that such election is applied uniformly to all Eligible Participants for the   Plan Year.  The Actual Deferral Percentage of an Eligible Participant who does not have Before-   Tax Contributions made on his behalf shall be zero.   2.4 “Actual Deferral Percentage Test” shall mean the test described in Section 4.5(a).   2.5 “Affiliated Employer” shall mean an Employing Company and (a) any   corporation which is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section   414(b) of the Code) which includes such Employing Company, (b) any trade or business   (whether or not incorporated) which is under common control (as defined in Section 414(c) of   the Code) with such Employing Company, (c) any organization (whether or not incorporated)   which is a member of an affiliated service group (as defined in Section 414(m) of the Code)   which includes such Employing Company, and (d) any other entity required to be aggregated   with such Employing Company pursuant to regulations under Section 414(o) of the Code.      

 

   RSP - Art. II  3   Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of applying the limitations of Article VI, the term   Affiliated Employer shall be adjusted as required by Code Section 415(h).   2.6 “After-Tax Contribution” shall mean a contribution made pursuant to Section 4.6   during the Plan Year.   2.7 “Aggregate Account” shall mean with respect to a Participant as of the   Determination Date, the sum of the following:   (a) the Account balance of such Participant as of the most recent valuation   occurring within a twelve-month period ending on the Determination Date;   (b) an adjustment for any contributions due as of the Determination Date;   (c) any Plan distributions, including unrelated rollovers and plan-to-plan   transfers (ones which are both initiated by the Employee and made from a plan   maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by another employer), but not related   rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers (ones either not initiated by the Employee or made to a   plan maintained by the same employer), made during the one-year period ending on the   Determination Date, including distributions made under a terminated plan which if it had   not been terminated would have been required to be included in an Aggregation Group.   In the case of any distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment,   death or disability, this subsection (c) shall be applied by substituting “five-year period”   for “one-year period;”   (d) any Employee contributions, whether voluntary or mandatory; and   (e) related rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers to this Plan.   2.8 “Aggregation Group” shall mean either a Required Aggregation Group or a   Permissive Aggregation Group as hereinafter determined.   (a) Required Aggregation Group:  In determining a Required Aggregation   Group hereunder, each plan of the Affiliated Employers in which a Key Employee is a   participant and each other plan of the Affiliated Employers which enables any plan in   which a Key Employee participates to meet requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or   410 will be required to be aggregated.  Such group shall be known as a Required   Aggregation Group.   (b) Permissive Aggregation Group:  The Affiliated Employers may also   include any other plan not required to be included in the Required Aggregation Group,   provided the resulting group, taken as a whole, would continue to satisfy the provisions   of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410.  Such group shall be known as a Permissive   Aggregation Group.   2.9 “Annual Addition” shall mean the amount allocated to a Participant’s Account   and accounts under all defined contribution plans maintained by the Affiliated Employers during   a Limitation Year that constitutes the following:     

 

   RSP - Art.

Contributions do not fail to be Annual Additions because they are Excess Deferral   Contributions or Excess Aggregate Contributions which are distributed. Notwithstanding anything   to the contrary herein, the following shall not be treated as Annual Additions for purposes hereof:    Catch-up Contributions made pursuant to this Plan (or similar contributions to other plans) under   Section 414(v) of the Code, the restoration of a Participant’s Account in accordance with Section   411(a)(3)(D) of the Code or Section 411(a)(7)(D) of the Code, restorative payments within the   meaning of Treas.

   RSP - Art. II  5   (a) the date on which an Employee’s employment with the Affiliated   Employers terminates because such Employee quits, is discharged, retires, or dies; or   (b) the first anniversary of the date such Employee is absent from service with   the Affiliated Employers for any other reason.    In the case of an individual who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons, such   individual shall not incur a Break-in-Service Date earlier than the expiration of the second   anniversary of the first date of such absence; provided, however, that the twelve-consecutive-month   period beginning on the first anniversary of the first date of such absence shall not constitute a Year   of Service.  For purposes of this paragraph, an absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons   means an absence (a) by reason of the pregnancy of the Employee, (b) by reason of a birth of a child   of the Employee, (c) by reason of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with   the adoption of such child by such Employee, or (d) for purposes of caring for such child for a   period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.       A Break-in-Service Date shall not be deemed to have occurred if (a) the Employee is absent   from employment by reason of service in the “uniformed services” (as that term is defined in the   Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment rights Act of 1994 (“USERRA”)) for a period   during which the Employee’s reemployment rights are guaranteed by USERRA, and the Employee   is reemployed by an Employing Company under the terms of Section 4312 of USERRA; or (b) the   Employee is absent on an approved leave of absence granted to the Employee pursuant to the   Family and Medical Leave Act, if the Employee returns to work for an Employing Company at the   end of such leave of absence.      2.17 “Catch-Up Contribution” shall mean contributions made pursuant to Section   4.2(a) during the Plan Year by an Employing Company, at the election of a Participant who   meets the requirements of Section 4.2(a), in lieu of cash compensation and shall include   contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement.   2.18 “Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any   successor statute, and the rulings and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Reg. 1.401(a)(35)-1(f)(5).   2.21 “Company” shall mean Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., and its successors.   2.22 “Company Stock Fund” shall mean the Investment Fund invested in Common   Stock, as described in Section 8.1.  The Company Stock Fund shall comprise the ESOP   Component of the Plan.     

 

   RSP - Art. II  6   2.23 “Compensation” shall mean the Basic Earnings of a Participant from an   Employing Company as determined by the Employing Company.  Compensation shall be   determined without regard to any adjustment in a Participant’s base salary or wages as a result of   foreign assignment.    Amounts earned but not paid during a Plan Year solely because of the timing of pay   periods and pay dates shall not be included in Compensation for the Plan Year earned, but shall   be included when paid.  Compensation shall include amounts paid to an individual who does not   currently perform services for the Employer by reason of qualified military service (within the   meaning of Code Section 414(u)(5)) (while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days) to   the extent these payments constitute “differential wage payments” within the meaning of Code   Section 3401(h)(2) and do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the   individual had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than performing qualified   military service.  Compensation shall not include amounts paid after severance from employment   unless such compensation is paid within the later of 2-1/2 months after severance from   employment or the last day of the Limitation Year in which severance from employment occurs   and such payment is regular compensation for services during the Employee’s regular working   hours, or compensation for services outside the Employee’s regular working hours (such as   overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments and such   payment would have been paid to the Employee in the absence of a severance from employment.        Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary and for all purposes under the Plan, the   Compensation of each Participant taken into account for purposes of this Plan shall not exceed   $260,000 for any Plan Year, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code   Section 401(a)(17)(B).  If a determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the applicable   compensation limit shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of   months in the determination period and the denominator of which is 12.        2.24 “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the ratio (expressed as a percentage), of the   sum of After-Tax Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions under the Plan on behalf   of the Eligible Participant for the Plan Year to the Eligible Participant’s compensation (within   the meaning of Code Section 414(s)) for the Plan Year.  For the purpose of determining an   Eligible Participant’s Contribution Percentage for a Plan Year, the Committee may elect to   consider an Eligible Participant’s compensation for (a) the entire Plan Year or (b) that portion of   the Plan Year in which the individual is an Eligible Participant, provided that such election is   applied uniformly to all Eligible Participants for the Plan Year.   2.25 “Determination Date” shall mean with respect to a Plan Year, the last day of the   preceding Plan Year.   2.26 “Determination Year” shall mean the Plan Year being tested.   2.27 “Distributee” shall include an Employee or former Employee.

   RSP - Art. II  7   or former spouse.

However, such after-tax portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or   annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified defined contribution plan   described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a) or to an annuity contract described in Code Section   403(b), that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately   accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the   portion of such distribution which is not so includible.     2.33 “Employee” shall mean each individual who is employed by an Affiliated   Employer under common law and each individual who is required to be treated as an employee   pursuant to the “leased employee” rules of Code Section 414(n) other than a leased employee   described in Code Section 414(n)(5).   2.34 “Employer Matching Contribution” shall mean a contribution made by an   Employing Company pursuant to Section 5.1.

The Hours of Service credited hereunder by   reason of such absence shall be credited with respect to the Plan Year in which such   absence begins, if such credit is necessary to prevent the Employee from incurring a   Break in Service Date in such Plan Year, and otherwise with respect to the Plan Year   immediately following the Plan Year in which such absence begins.  In addition, the   Hours of Service credited with respect to such absence shall not exceed 501, and shall be   credited only to the extent that the Employee substantiates to the satisfaction of the   Company that the Employee’s absence, and the length thereof, was for the reasons   described in paragraphs (I) - (IV) above.

A Participant is deemed to notify the Committee of   any Excess Deferral Amounts that arise by taking into account only those deferrals under   this Plan and any other plans of an Employing Company.   (c) Determination of Income or Loss.  The Excess Deferral Amount   distributed to a Participant with respect to a calendar year shall be adjusted for income or   loss, through the last day of the Plan Year to which the Excess Deferral Amount relates.    The Committee may designate any reasonable method for computing the income or loss   allocable to Excess Deferral Amounts, provided that the method does not violate Section   401(a)(4) or Section 401(k) of the Code, is used consistently for all Participants and for all   corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for   allocating income or loss to Participants’ Accounts.   (d) Maximum Distribution Amount.  The Excess Deferral Amount, which   would otherwise be distributed to the Participant, shall, if there is a loss allocable to such   Excess Deferral Amount, in no event be less than the lesser of the Participant’s Account   under the Plan attributable to Before-Tax Contributions or the Participant’s Before-Tax   Contributions for the Plan Year.   4.4 Additional Rules Regarding Before-Tax Contributions.    Salary reduction agreements shall be governed by the following:      (a) A salary reduction agreement shall apply to payroll periods during which   such salary reduction agreement is in effect.  The Committee, in its discretion, may   establish administrative procedures whereby the actual reduction in Compensation may   be made to coincide with each payroll period of the Employing Company, or at such   other times as the Committee may determine.   (b) The Employing Company may amend or revoke its salary reduction   agreement with any Participant at any time, if the Employing Company determines that   such revocation or amendment is necessary to ensure that a Participant’s additions for   any Plan Year will not exceed the limitations of Sections 4.2 and 6.1 of the Plan or to   ensure that the Actual Deferral Percentage Test is satisfied.   (c) Except as required under (b) above, and under Section 4.5(c) below, no   amounts attributable to Before-Tax Contributions may be distributed to a Participant or   his Beneficiary from his Account prior to the earlier of:   (1) the severance from employment, death or disability of the   Participant;   (2) the attainment of age 59-1/2 by the Participant;

(a) Actual Deferral Percentage Test.  For any Plan Year that the Plan does not   meet the requirements of Section 4.11 of the Plan, the Plan shall satisfy the   nondiscrimination test of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code, under which no Before-Tax   Contributions shall be made that would cause the Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible   Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees to exceed (1) or (2) as follows:   (1) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the Eligible   Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees in the   current Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral   Percentage of the prior Plan Year for Eligible Participants who   were Non-Highly Compensated Employees in the prior Plan Year   multiplied by 1.25; or   (2) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants   who are Highly Compensated Employees in the current Plan Year   shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage of the prior   Plan Year for Eligible Participants who were Non-Highly   Compensated Employees in the prior Plan Year multiplied by two   (2), provided that the Average Actual Deferral Percentage of the   current Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly   Compensated Employees in the current Plan Year does not exceed   the Average Actual Deferral Percentage of the prior Plan Year for   Eligible Participants who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees   in the prior Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage points.

   RSP - Art. IV  18   the Plan shall be treated as using the current year testing method pursuant to Treasury   Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(c)(1)(i) and such method may only be changed as   permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(c)(1)(ii).      (b) Amount of Excess Deferral Contributions.  The amount of Excess Deferral   Contributions for a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is to be determined   by the leveling method described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2), under   which the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the   highest Actual Deferral Percentage shall be reduced to the extent required to:   (1) enable the Plan to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test, or    (2) cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Deferral   Percentage to equal the ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee   with the next highest Actual Deferral Percentage.   This process must be repeated until the Plan satisfies the Actual Deferral Percentage Test.   The total amount of the reductions in Before-Tax Contributions at the point where the Plan   satisfies the Actual Deferral Percentage Test shall be the amount of the Excess Deferral   Contributions.      (c) Correction of Excess Deferral Contributions.    (1) Methods.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan,   Excess Deferral Contributions shall be corrected in accordance with one or a   combination (at the discretion of the Plan Administrator) of the methods set forth   in this Paragraph (1).  The correction of Excess Deferral Contributions shall be   made with respect to Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the   respective portions of the Excess Deferral Contributions attributable to each of   such employees.   (A) Distributions. The amount of Excess Deferral Contributions for a   Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year which are to be   distributed shall be distributed such that the Before-Tax   Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the   highest dollar amount of Before-Tax Contributions shall be   distributed until the first to occur of: (1) the total Excess Deferral   Contributions have been distributed; or (2) the dollar amount of   Before-Tax Contributions of such Highly Compensated Employee   equals the dollar amount of Before-Tax Contributions of the   Highly Compensated Employee with the second highest dollar   amount of Before-Tax Contributions. This process shall be   repeated until all Excess Deferral Contributions are distributed.    Excess Deferral Contributions plus any income and minus any loss   allocable thereto may be distributed to Participants (and any   corresponding Employer Matching Contributions shall be forfeited)   on whose behalf such Excess Deferral Contributions were made not     

 

   RSP - Art. IV  19   later than twelve (12) months following the close of the Plan Year   for which such contributions were made.  If such Excess Deferral   Contributions are distributed more than two and one-half (2-1/2)   months after the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess   amounts arose, a ten percent (10%) excise tax will be imposed on the   Employing Company maintaining the Plan with respect to such   Excess Deferral Contributions.  Any amounts forfeited pursuant to   this Paragraph (A) shall be applied, subject to Section 6.1, toward   funding the Employing Company contributions for the Plan Year   immediately following the Plan Year to which such Employer   Matching Contributions relate.   (B) Employer Contributions. Qualified nonelective deferral   contributions may be made, in the sole discretion of the Employing   Company, in the event that the Actual Deferral Percentage Test is   not satisfied.  Qualified nonelective deferral contributions shall   mean nonforfeitable contributions made by the Employing   Company and allocated to a Participant’s subaccount for Before-   Tax Contributions under the Plan that the Participant may not elect   to receive in cash until distributed from the Plan. Qualified   nonelective deferral contributions are not available for hardship   withdrawal and are subject to the distribution restrictions on   Before-Tax Contributions under this Plan.  Such contributions   shall be made on behalf of each Non-Highly Compensated   Employee Participant in the amount necessary to satisfy the   limitations of the Actual Deferral Percentage Test and shall be   allocated among the Before-Tax Contribution subaccounts of such   Participants in the proportion that each Non-Highly Compensated   Employee Participant’s Compensation bears to the Compensation   of all such Non-Highly Compensated Employee Participants.    Qualified nonelective deferral contributions shall be treated as   Participant Before-Tax Contributions for all purposes of this Plan   and taken into account under the Actual Deferral Percentage Test,   except that such contributions shall not be eligible for Employer   Matching Contributions.  In addition, such contributions shall meet   each of those conditions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section   1.401(k)-2(a)(6).   (C) Recharacterization.  Excess Deferral Contributions (plus any   income and minus any loss) with respect to a Participant may be   recharacterized as After-Tax Contributions (and any corresponding   Employer Matching Contributions shall be forfeited) in accordance   with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-   2(b)(3) and shall be included in the Actual Contribution Percentage   Test; however, such amounts shall be treated as Before-Tax   Contributions for all other purposes hereunder.  Any amounts   forfeited pursuant to this Paragraph (c) shall be applied subject to     

 

   RSP - Art. IV  20   Section 6.1 toward funding the Employing Company contributions   for the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year to which   such Employer Matching Contributions relate.   (2) Determination of Income or Loss.  Excess Deferral Contributions   shall be adjusted for any income or loss, through the last day of the Plan Year.    The Committee may designate any reasonable method for computing the income or   loss allocable to Excess Deferral Contributions, provided that the method does not   violate Section 401(a)(4) or Section 401(k) of the Code, is used consistently for all   Participants and for all corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year, and   is used by the Plan for allocating income or loss to Participants’ Accounts.   (3) Maximum Distribution Amount.  The Excess Deferral   Contributions which would otherwise be distributed to the Participant shall be   adjusted for income; shall be reduced, in accordance with regulations, by the   Excess Deferral Amount distributed to the Participant; and shall, if there is a loss   allocable to the Excess Deferral Contributions, in no event be less than the lesser   of the Participant’s Account under the Plan attributable to Before-Tax   Contributions or the Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year.   (d) Special Rules.   (1) For purposes of this Section 4.5, the Actual Deferral Percentage for   any Eligible Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan   Year and who is eligible to have deferral contributions allocated to his account   under two (2) or more plans or arrangements described in Section 401(k) of the   Code that are maintained by an Affiliated Employer shall be determined as if all   such deferral contributions were made under the cash or deferred arrangement   being tested. Regardless of the plan year of such cash or deferred arrangements,   they shall be treated as a single arrangement for the 12-month period that   corresponds to the plan year of the plan being tested.  The Highly Compensated   Employee’s compensation shall be determined for the same 12-month period   using the definition of compensation under the plan being tested.   (2) In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code   Section 401(k), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other   plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of Code Section   401(k), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if aggregated with this Plan, then the actual   deferral percentages shall be determined as if all such plans were a single plan.   The Plan may be combined with another plan in order to satisfy Code Section   401(k) only if they have the same plan year and apply the same test method as set   forth in this Section 4.5.   (3) The Profit Sharing component of the Plan and the ESOP   component of the Plan shall be aggregated for purposes of this Section 4.5   pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.40(k)-1(b)(4)(v).     

 

   RSP - Art. IV  21   (4) The determination and treatment of the Before-Tax Contributions   and Actual Deferral Percentage of any Eligible Participant shall satisfy such other   requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.   4.6 After-Tax Contributions.  An Eligible Employee who meets the participation   requirements of Article III may elect in accordance with the procedures established by the   Committee to contribute to his Account an After-Tax Contribution consisting of any whole   percentage of his Compensation, which percentage is not less than one percent (1%) nor more   than ten percent (10%) of his Compensation.     4.7 Manner and Time of Payment of Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax   Contributions.  Contributions made in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.6  will be rounded to the   next higher multiple of one cent for each payroll period.  They will be made only through payroll   deductions and will begin with the first payroll period (or as soon as practicable thereafter)   commencing after the Enrollment Date on which the Participant commences participation in the   Plan.  Contributions shall be remitted to the Trustee as of the earliest date on which such   contributions can reasonably be segregated from each Employing Company’s general assets, but in   any event not later than the fifteenth (15th) business day of the month following the month in which   such amounts would otherwise have been payable to the Participant in cash.   4.8 Change in Contribution Rate.  A Participant may prospectively change the   percentage of his Compensation that he has authorized as the Before-Tax Contribution to be   made on his behalf or his After-Tax Contribution to another permissible percentage in   accordance with the procedures established by the Committee to be effective as soon as   administratively feasible after such change has been requested.    4.9 Change in Contribution Amount.  In the event of a change in the Compensation of   a Participant, the percentage of the Before-Tax Contribution made on his behalf or his After-Tax   Contribution currently in effect shall be applied as soon as practicable with respect to such   changed Compensation without action by the Participant.   4.10 Rollover Contributions and Transfers from Other Plans.  The Plan will only   accept a Direct Rollover of an Eligible Rollover Distribution from a qualified plan described in   Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, excluding after-tax employee contributions, and Participant   Rollover Contributions of Eligible Rollover Distributions from a qualified plan described in   Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code.  The Plan will not accept rollovers from individual   retirement accounts or rollovers of amounts distributed from a designated Roth account (as   defined in Code Section 402(A) as amended) or from a Roth IRA (as defined in Code Section   408(A) as amended).     Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Employee who elects to rollover all or a portion   of his distribution from a K-C Plan may elect to make such rollover to this Plan in cash.  A   Participant Rollover Contribution may be made only within sixty (60) days following the date the   Eligible Employee receives the distribution.  The Trustee may also receive directly from the trustee   under the qualified plan of the former employer all or any portion (as designated by such Participant   in writing to the Plan Administrator) of an eligible rollover distribution that would otherwise be   distributable to the Participant by reason of his termination of employment with that employer.     

 

   RSP - Art. IV  22       The Plan Administrator may establish rules and procedures to implement this Section 4.10,   including without limitation, such procedures as may be appropriate to verify the tax qualified status   of the plan of the former employer and compliance with any applicable provisions of the Code   relating to such contributions and transfers.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this   Section 4.10, the Trustee shall not accept a transfer of an Eligible Employee’s interest in a   retirement plan of a former employer if it is determined that such acceptance would render this Plan   a direct or indirect transferee of a defined benefit plan, a money purchase pension plan (including a   target benefit plan), a stock bonus plan, or a profit sharing plan that provides for a life annuity form   of payment to the Participant unless the Trustee determines that such transfer constitutes a “direct   rollover” within the meaning of Code Section 401(a)(31) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.      4.11 Code Section 401(k)(12) Safe Harbor.     (a) Rules of Application.  The provisions of this Section 4.11 shall apply for   all Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2015 unless and until this Section 4.11 is   amended, and shall control over any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary.     (b) Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions.  Each Employing   Company shall contribute a Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contribution on behalf of   its Eligible Participants in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Plan, or as otherwise   specified in Section 5.1 of the Appendix B Schedules.  Such Safe Harbor Employer   Matching Contribution shall meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(k)(12) and   Treas. Reg. 1.401(k)-3.  The allocation period for purposes of calculating the amount of   Safe Harbor Matching Contributions is each payroll period.     (c) Vesting and Limitation.  The Safe Harbor Employer Matching   Contributions shall be 100% vested in accordance with Section 10.01, and are subject to   the applicable maximum limitations provided in Article VI.     (d) Nondiscrimination Testing.  For each Plan Year in which the Safe Harbor   Employer Matching Contributions are made in accordance with this Section 4.11, the   Actual Deferral Percentage test described under Section 4.5 shall be deemed satisfied.    The Actual Contribution Percentage Test described under Section 5.4 shall continue to   apply with respect to Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions and After-Tax   Contributions that are made during each Plan Year.  In conducting such Actual   Contribution Percentage Test, the rules described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(m)-   2(a)(5)(iv) may be used.    (e) Notice and Election Requirements.  At least 30 days, but not more than 90   days, before the beginning of the Plan Year, the Committee shall furnish each Eligible   Participant a notice of the Eligible Participant’s rights and obligations under the Plan with   respect to the Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contribution.  If an Employee becomes   eligible after the 90th day before the beginning of the Plan Year and does not receive the   notice for that reason, the notice must be provided no more than 90 days before the   Employee becomes eligible but not later than the date the Employee becomes eligible.  In   addition to any other election periods provided under the Plan, each Participant may     

 

   RSP - Art. IV  23   make or modify a deferral election during the 30-day period immediately following   receipt of the notice described in this subsection (e).   (f) Suspension or Revocation of Safe Harbor Employer Matching   Contribution.  The Company may reduce or suspend by Plan amendment the election to   make Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions during a Plan Year and be subject   to the Actual Deferral Percentage Test under Section 4.5 for the entire Plan Year,   provided, (A) either (i) the Company is operating at an economic loss or (ii) Participants   were notified of a potential reduction or suspension of the Safe Harbor Employer   Matching Contribution in the annual safe harbor notice; (B) a notice is given to all   Eligible Participants describing the consequences of the amendment to the Plan and   explaining that they have a reasonable opportunity (including a reasonable period) to   change their deferral election, and (C) such amendment to the Plan adopting the reduction   or elimination of the Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions is effective no   earlier than the later of:  (i) 30 days after Eligible Participants are given the required   notice or (ii) the date the amendment approving the reduction or elimination is adopted;   and (D) all other requirements of this Section 4.11 are satisfied through the effective date   of the amendment.        

 

   RSP - Art. V 24   ARTICLE V      EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS   5.1 Amount of Employer Matching Contributions.  Unless otherwise specified in the   Appendix B Schedules attached hereto, the Employer Matching Contribution made on behalf of   a Participant shall be made in accordance with this Section 5.1.  Effective for Plan Years   beginning on or after January 1, 2015, the Employing Companies shall contribute as an   Employer Matching Contribution on behalf of each Participant who has elected to make Before-   Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions an amount equal to the whole percentages of the   Participant’s aggregate Before-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions set forth below   that do not exceed the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) of the Participant’s Compensation for such   Plan Year, or (ii) the limitations set forth in Code Section 402(g) and Code Section 414(v).  If a   Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions are limited by Code Section 402(g) or, a Participant’s   Catch-Up Contributions are limited by Code Section 414(v), the Employing Company shall   contribute as an Employer Matching Contribution on behalf of each Participant who has elected   to make After-Tax Contributions an amount equal to the percentages of such After-Tax   Contributions set forth below.  Notwithstanding the preceding, in no event shall Employer   Matching Contributions, with respect to any Plan Year, be made on Before-Tax Contributions,   Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax Contributions which, in the aggregate, exceeds ten   percent (10%) of the Participant’s Compensation.        Employee Contribution Company Match       0 – 3% 100%   4 – 8% 50%   9 – 10% 25%      Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, contributions made pursuant   to this Section 5.1 shall be “Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions” and shall meet the   requirements set forth in Section 4.11 of the Plan.        5.2 Investment of Employer Matching Contributions.  Employer Matching   Contributions shall be made in cash and invested in accordance with the Participant’s Investment   Fund elections and allocations.   5.3 Payment of Employer Matching Contributions.  Except as provided herein,   Employer Matching Contributions shall be remitted to the Trustee as soon as practicable.     

 

   RSP - Art. V 25   5.4 Section 401(m) Nondiscrimination Tests.     (a) Actual Contribution Percentage Test.  The Plan shall satisfy the   nondiscrimination test of Section 401(m) of the Code, under which the Average   Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated   Employees shall not exceed (1) or (2) as follows:   (1) The Average Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who   are Highly Compensated Employees in the current Plan Year shall not exceed the   Average Contribution Percentage of the prior Plan Year for Eligible Participants   who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees in the prior Plan Year multiplied   by 1.25%; or    (2) The Average Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who   are Highly Compensated Employees in the current Plan Year shall not exceed the   Average Contribution Percentage of the prior Plan Year for Eligible Participants   who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees in the prior Plan Year multiplied by   two (2), provided that the Average Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants   who are Highly Compensated Employees in the current Plan Year does not exceed   the Average Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who were Non-Highly   Compensated Employees in the prior Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage   points.   (b) Amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions.  The amount of Excess   Aggregate Contributions for a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is to be   determined by the leveling method described in Treasury Regulation Section   1.401(m)-2(b)(2), under which the Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated   Employee with the highest Contribution Percentage shall be reduced to the extent   required to:   (1) enable the Plan to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test,   or    (2) cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s Contribution   Percentage to equal the ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next   highest Contribution Percentage.   This process must be repeated until the Plan satisfies the Actual Contribution Percentage   Test. The total amount of the reductions in After-Tax Contributions and Employer   Contributions at the point where the Plan satisfies the Actual Contribution Percentage Test   shall be the amount of the Excess Aggregate Contributions.      (c) Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions.   (1) In General.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan,   Excess Aggregate Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable   thereto, shall be distributed (or, if forfeitable, forfeited) no later than the last day     

 

   RSP - Art. V 26   of each Plan Year to Participants to whose Accounts such Excess Aggregate   Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year.     The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Highly Compensated   Employee for a Plan Year which are to be distributed shall be distributed (or if   forfeitable, forfeited) such that the After-Tax Contributions and Employer   Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest   dollar amount of After-Tax Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions   shall be distributed (or if forfeitable, forfeited) until the first to occur of: (1) the   total Excess Aggregate Contributions have been distributed; or (2) the dollar   amount of After-Tax Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions of such   Highly Compensated Employee equals the dollar amount of After-Tax   Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated   Employee with the second highest dollar amount of After-Tax Contributions and   Employer Matching Contributions. This process shall be repeated until all Excess   Aggregate Contributions are distributed.  Excess Aggregate Contributions plus any   income and minus any loss allocable thereto may be distributed to Participants (or if   forfeitable, forfeited) on whose behalf such Excess Aggregate Contributions were   made not later than twelve (12) months following the close of the Plan Year for   which such contributions were made.  If such Excess Aggregate Contributions are   distributed more than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the last day of the Plan   Year in which such excess amounts arose, a ten percent (10%) excise tax will be   imposed on the Employing Company maintaining the Plan with respect to such   Excess Aggregate Contributions.  Any amounts forfeited pursuant to this Paragraph   (1) shall be applied, subject to Section 6.1, toward funding the Employing Company   contributions for the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year to which such   forfeiture relates.  Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be treated as Annual   Additions.      (2) Determination of Income or Loss.  Excess Aggregate   Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss, through the last day of the   Plan Year.  The Committee may designate any reasonable method for computing   the income or loss allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions, provided that the   method does not violate Section 401(a)(4) or Section 401(m) of the Code, is used   consistently for all Participants and for all corrective distributions under the Plan for   the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating income or loss to Participants’   Accounts.   (3) Accounting for Excess Aggregate Contributions.  Excess   Aggregate Contributions shall be distributed first from After-Tax Contributions   allocated to the Participant’s Account and then, if necessary, distributed from the   remaining Employer Matching Contribution allocated to the Participant’s   Account.     

 

   RSP - Art. V 27   (4) Special Rules.   (A) For purposes of this Section 5.4, the Contribution   Percentage for any Eligible Participant who is a Highly Compensated   Employee for the Plan Year and who is eligible to make voluntary   participant contributions or to receive employer matching contributions   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 an Affiliated Employer shall be determined as if all such contributions   were made under the arrangement being tested.  Regardless of the plan   year of such arrangements, they shall be treated as a single arrangement   for the 12-month period that corresponds to the plan year of the plan being   tested.  The Highly Compensated Employee’s compensation shall be   determined for the same 12-month period using the definition of   compensation under the Plan being tested.   (B) In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of   Code Section 401(m), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or   more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of   Code Section 401(m), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if aggregated with this   Plan, then the contribution percentages shall be determined as if all such   plans were a single plan.  The Plan may be combined with another plan in   order to satisfy 401(m) only if they have the same plan year and apply the   same test method as set forth in this Section 5.4.   (C) The Profit Sharing component of the Plan and the ESOP   component of the Plan shall be aggregated for purposes of Section 5.4   pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(4)(v).   (D) The determination and treatment of the Contribution   Percentage of any Eligible Participant shall satisfy such other   requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.   (d) Testing Procedures.  In applying the limitations set forth in Sections 4.5 and   5.4, the Committee may, at its option, utilize such testing procedures as may be permitted   under Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k), 401(m) or 410(b) of the Code, subject to any applicable   limitations contained in the regulations, including, without limitation, (1) aggregation of this   Plan with one or more other qualified plans of the Company or the Affiliated Employers, (2)   inclusion of qualified matching contributions, qualified non-elective contributions or   elective deferrals described in, and meeting the requirements of, Treasury Regulations under   sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code made to any other qualified plan of the Company or   the Affiliated Employers, (3) exclusion of all Eligible Employees (other than Eligible   Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees) who have not met the minimum age   and service requirements of Section 410(a)(1)(A) of the Code, (4) exclusion of certain   contributions pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(iv), or (5) any   permissible combination thereof.     

 

   RSP - Art. V 28   5.5 Reversion of Employing Company Contributions.  Except as specifically provided   in this Plan, no amounts shall revert to the Employing Company.  Employing Company   contributions computed in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall revert to the   Employing Company under the following circumstances:   (a) In the case of an Employing Company contribution which is made by   reason of a mistake of fact, such contribution upon written direction of the Employing   Company shall be returned to the Employing Company within one year after the payment   of the contribution.   (b) If any Employing Company contribution is determined to be   nondeductible under Section 404 of the Code, then such Employing Company   contribution, to the extent that it is determined to be nondeductible, upon written   direction of the Employing Company shall be returned to the Employing Company within   one year after the disallowance of the deduction.  All contributions by any Employing   Company made to this Plan are hereby expressly conditioned on their deductibility for   federal income tax purposes under section 404 of the Code.   5.6 Correction of Prior Incorrect Allocations and Distributions.  Notwithstanding any   provisions contained herein to the contrary, in the event that, as of any Valuation Date,   adjustments are required in any Participants’ Accounts to correct any incorrect allocation of   contributions or investment earnings or losses, or such other discrepancies in Account balances   that may have occurred previously, the Employing Companies may make additional   contributions to the Plan to be applied to correct such incorrect allocations or discrepancies.  The   additional contributions shall be allocated by the Committee to adjust such Participants’   Accounts to the value which would have existed on said Valuation Date had there been no prior   incorrect allocation or discrepancies.  The Committee shall also be authorized to take such other   actions as it deems necessary to correct prior incorrect allocations or discrepancies in the   Accounts of Participants under the Plan.     

 

   RSP - Art. VI 29   ARTICLE VI      LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS   6.1 Section 415 Limitations.   (a) The total Annual Additions allocated to the Account (and the accounts   under all defined contribution plans maintained by an Affiliated Employer) of any   Participant for any Limitation Year in accordance with Code Section 415 and the   regulations thereunder, which are incorporated herein by this reference, except to the   extent permitted under Section 4.2(a) of the Plan and Section 414(v) of the Code , if   applicable, shall not exceed the lesser of the following amounts:   (1) one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s compensation   (within the meaning of Code Section 415 (c)(3) for the Limitation Year; or   (2) the dollar amount specified in Code Section 415(c)(1)(A).   (b) In the event of a short Limitation Year because of an amendment changing   the Limitation Year to a different 12-consecutive-month period, the maximum   permissible amount shall not exceed the defined contribution dollar limitation set forth in   Section 6.1(a)(2) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of   months in the short Limitation Year and the denominator of which is twelve (12).   (c) “Compensation” as used in this Section 6.1 shall mean all amounts paid to   an Employee which are treated as “compensation” under Treasury Regulation Section   1.415(c)-2(d)(4) and shall include amounts actually paid during a Limitation Year (as   provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(c)-2(e)).  Compensation paid after Break-   in-Service Date (including severance pay) is excluded from the definition of   compensation unless such compensation is paid within the later of 2-1/2 months after the   Break-in-Service Date or the last day of the Limitation Year in which Break-in-Service   Date occurs and such payment is regular compensation for services during the   Employee’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Employee’s   regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or   other similar payments and such payment would have been paid to the Employee in the   absence of a Break-in-Service Date.  Compensation shall include amounts paid to an   individual who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of   qualified military service (within the meaning of Code Section 414(u)(5)) (while on   active duty for a period of more than 30 days) to the extent these payments constitute   “differential wage payments” within the meaning of Code Section 3401(h)(2) and do not   exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to   perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service.     6.2 Correction of Contributions in Excess of Section 415 Limits.  If the Annual   Additions for a Participant exceed the limits of Section 6.1 as a result of the allocation of   Forfeitures, if any, a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s annual compensation for   purposes of the Plan, a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals (within

(b) Frequency of Loans.  A Participant is restricted to initiating only one loan   in a 12-month period and may have only one loan outstanding at any time.   (c) Loan Amount.  The minimum loan amount shall be $1,000.  The   maximum amount of a loan shall not exceed the lesser of:   (1) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of loans   during the one-year period ending on the day before the date the loan is made, or      (2) 50% of the nonforfeitable amount of the Participant’s or   Beneficiary’s entire balance under all Accounts.      (d) Term of a Loan.  The term of a loan shall be designated by the Participant   but shall not exceed (5) five years.  The term of a loan shall expire as of the Participant’s   Break-In-Service Date.   (e) Interest.

Notwithstanding the   preceding, no deduction shall be made with respect to the Participant’s Accounts until an   event occurs which would entitle the Participant to a distribution from such Accounts.        

 

   RSP - Art. XII 42   ARTICLE XII      DISTRIBUTION TO PARTICIPANTS   12.1 Distribution upon Retirement.  This Section 12.1 shall apply unless otherwise   specified in the Appendix B Schedules attached hereto.  If a Participant’s employment with the   Affiliated Employers is terminated as a result of his retirement after attaining age 55, the entire   balance credited to his Account shall be payable to him in a single lump sum in accordance with   Section 12.12 at such time requested by the Participant pursuant to Section 12.7 and in   accordance with the procedures established by the Committee.   12.2 Distribution upon Disability.  If a Participant’s employment with the Affiliated   Employers is terminated prior to his Normal Retirement Date by reason of his Total and   Permanent Disability, such disabled Participant shall be entitled to receive the entire value   credited to his Account at such time as requested by the Participant or his legal representative   pursuant to Section 12.7 and in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee.    Any distribution pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall be made in a single lump sum in accordance   with Section 12.12 as soon as practicable after the selected Valuation Date and shall be subject to   the consent and cash-out requirements described in Section 12.6(a).   12.3 Distribution upon Group Terminations.   (a) In the event that a Participant is a member of a group involved in a Group   Termination and the circumstances are such that in the opinion of the Committee all of   the involved Participant’s Accounts should be segregated from the Plan and Trust, and   transferred to or merged with a successor qualified plan and trust, the Committee shall   take such action as it may deem necessary to cause such segregation and transfer or   merger to occur.  For these purposes, the amounts to be transferred or merged shall be   determined as though all of the Participants involved in such group had terminated their   employment by reason of attainment of age 55.  In such event, those individuals in such   group shall not be entitled to receive any distribution hereunder and all liabilities of this   Plan and of the Trust with respect to such individuals shall be deemed fully discharged on   the date of such transfer or merger.   (b) In the event a Participant is a member of a group involved in a Group   Termination and the Committee does not elect to transfer or merge the Accounts of the   involved Participants with a successor plan, such Participant shall be fully vested in his   Account and entitled to a distribution in accordance with Section 12.6.   12.4 Distribution upon Death.  If a Participant’s employment with the Affiliated   Employers is terminated by reason of death, the entire balance credited to the Participant’s   Account shall be distributed as soon as practicable to the Participant’s surviving Beneficiary or   Beneficiaries in a lump sum in accordance with Section 12.12.   12.5 Designation of Beneficiary in the Event of Death.

   RSP - Art. XII 43   Plan, provided that the Beneficiary of a married Participant shall be the Participant’s Surviving   Spouse, unless such Surviving Spouse shall consent in a writing witnessed by a notary public or a   representative of the Committee, which writing acknowledges the effect of the Participant’s   designation of a Beneficiary other than such Surviving Spouse.  However, if such Participant   establishes to the satisfaction of the Committee that such written consent may not be obtained   because the Surviving Spouse cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as the   Secretary of the Treasury may by regulations prescribe, a designation by such Participant without   the consent of the Surviving Spouse shall be valid.    Any consent necessary under this Section 12.5 shall be valid and effective only with respect   to the Surviving Spouse who signs the consent or, in the event of a deemed consent, only with   respect to a designated Surviving Spouse.       A designation of Beneficiary (other than the Surviving Spouse) may be revoked by the   Participant without the consent of any Beneficiary (or the Participant’s Surviving Spouse) at any   time before the commencement of the distribution of benefits.  A Beneficiary designation or change   or revocation of a Beneficiary designation shall be made in accordance with the procedures   established by the Committee.       If no designated Beneficiary shall be living at the death of the Participant and/or such   Participant’s Beneficiary designation is not valid and enforceable under applicable law or the   procedures of the Committee, such Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be:      (a) the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, or   (b) if none, the Participant’s estate.   Payment to such person or estate shall completely discharge the Plan and the Trustee with respect to   the amount so paid.      12.6 Distribution upon Termination of Employment.   (a) If a Participant’s employment with the Affiliated Employer is terminated   for any reason other than in accordance with Sections 12.1, 12.2, 12.3(a) and 12.4, the   vested balance to the credit of the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in   accordance with Section 12.12.  Such distribution shall be made as soon as practicable   after the Participant’s termination of employment, as follows:    (1) in a single lump sum to such Participant if the balance of his   Account, including rollover contributions, is equal to or less than $1,000 in   accordance with the requirements of Code Section 411(a)(11);      (2) to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator   in a single lump sum if the Participant’s Account, including rollover contributions, is   greater than $1,000 but equal to or less than $5,000 and where the Participant has not   elected to have his Account distributed as a Direct Rollover or a distribution payable   to the Participant; or       

 

   RSP - Art. XII 44      (3) in accordance with Section 12.11,  if the Participant elects to receive   a distribution of the vested portion of his Account.  The Committee shall not have a   distribution to any Participant whose Account balance exceeds $5,000 without the   written consent of the Participant.      (b) A Participant who does not receive a distribution under Section 12.6(a)(1)   or (2) may elect to defer the commencement of the distribution of his Account following   the termination of his employment until a later Valuation Date, provided that such   distribution shall commence not later than the date required under Section 12.7 of the   Plan.  Any deferred distribution shall commence as soon as practicable after the   Valuation Date selected by the Participant.     If a Participant receives a distribution under this subsection at any time when   he is zero percent (0%) vested in any portion of his Account (including the portion of the   Account attributable to Before-Tax Contributions under Section 4.1), such Participant shall   be deemed to have received an immediate distribution of the entire nonvested portion of his   Account and shall cease to be a Participant hereunder.        Absent a buy-back by the Participant under Section 10.4, the actual payment   of benefits under this Section 12.6 shall satisfy all obligations of the Trust to such   Participant.      12.7 Commencement of Benefits.   (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, and except as further   provided in Section 12.7(b) below, if the Participant does not elect to defer   commencement of his benefit payments, the payment of his benefits shall begin at the   Participant’s election no later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year   in which the latest of the following events occurs:    (1) the Participant attains the earlier of age 65 or his Normal Retirement   Date,       (2) the Participant’s tenth (10th) anniversary of participation under the   Plan, or       (3) the Participant’s separation from service with the Affiliated   Employers.      (b) In no event shall the distribution of amounts in a Participant’s Account   commence later than the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in   which the Participant attains age 70-1/2, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the   Secretary of the Treasury.     

 

   RSP - Art. XII 45   Any distribution made under this Plan shall be made in accordance with the minimum   distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9), including the incidental death benefits   requirements under Code Section 401(a)(9)(G) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.      Any required minimum distribution for 2009 under this Section 12.7 shall be paid on the   scheduled date to the Participant or Beneficiary without regard to the enactment of Section   401(a)(9)(H) of the Code that allows waiver of such required minimum distributions for   2009.      12.8 Transfer between Employing Companies.  A transfer by a Participant from one   Employing Company to another Employing Company shall not affect his participation in the   Plan provided he remains an Eligible Employee.   12.9 Distributions to Alternate Payees.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the   contrary:   (a) Alternate Payee’s Accounts.  An alternate payee under a domestic   relations order determined by the Committee to be a qualified domestic relations order   (as defined in Code Section 414(p)) shall have established and maintained for him a   separate Account similar to the Account of the Participant specified in the qualified   domestic relations order.  The alternate payee’s Account shall be credited with his   interest in such Participant’s Account, as determined under the qualified domestic   relations order.  Except to the extent specifically provided by the qualified domestic   relations order, no amount of the nonvested portion of the Participant’s Account shall be   credited to the alternate payee’s Account.  Sections 14.3 and 14.4 shall apply to the   alternate payee’s Account as if the alternate payee were a Participant.   (b) Investment of Alternate Payee’s Accounts.  An alternate payee in   accordance with the procedures established by the Committee may elect to reallocate all   or any percentage portion of any of his Account subject to the same restrictions imposed   on investment directions of Participants by Article VIII.   (c) Alternate Payee’s Beneficiary.  Except to the extent otherwise provided by   the qualified domestic relations order relating to an alternate payee:    (4) the alternate payee may designate a beneficiary,       (5) if no such person is validly designated or if the designated person   predeceases the alternate payee, the beneficiary of the alternate payee shall be his   estate, and       (6) the beneficiary of the alternate payee shall be accorded under the   Plan all the rights and privileges of the Beneficiary of a Participant.      (d) Distribution to Alternate Payee.  An alternate payee shall be entitled to   receive a distribution from the Plan in accordance with the qualified domestic relations   order relating to the alternate payee.  Such distribution may be made only in a lump sum     

 

   RSP - Art. XII 46   and shall include only such amounts as have become vested; provided, however, that if a   qualified domestic relations order so provides, a lump sum distribution of the total vested   amount credited to the alternate payee’s Account may be made to the alternate payee   before the date that the Participant specified in the qualified domestic relations order   attains his earliest retirement age (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(4)(B)).  A qualified   domestic relations order may provide that until a distribution is made to the alternate   payee, the alternate payee may make withdrawals in accordance with Article XI as if the   alternate payee were an employed Participant; provided, however, that no withdrawal   suspension penalties shall be imposed on account of a withdrawal by an alternate payee.     (e) Vesting of Alternate Payee’s Account.  In the event that the qualified   domestic relations order provides for all or part of the nonvested portion of the Participant’s   Account to be credited to the Account of the alternate payee, such amount shall vest and/or   be forfeited at the same time and in the same manner as the Account of the Participant   specified in the qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that no forfeiture   shall result to the Account of the alternate payee due to any distribution to or withdrawal by   the Participant from his Account or any distribution to or withdrawal by the alternate payee   from the vested portion of the Account of the alternate payee.   12.10 Requirement for Direct Rollovers.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to   the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee’s election under this Article XII, a   Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any   portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified   by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.   12.11 Consent and Notice Requirements. If the value of the vested portion of a   Participant’s Account derived from Employing Company and Employee contributions (including   rollover contributions) exceeds $5,000 determined in accordance with the requirements of Code   Section 411(a)(11), the Participant must consent to any distribution of such vested account balance   prior to his Normal Retirement Date.  The consent of the Participant shall be obtained within the   ninety-day period ending on the first day of the first period for which an amount is payable as an   annuity or in any other form under this Plan.    The Committee shall notify the Participant of the (i) right to defer any distribution until the   Participant’s Account balance is no longer immediately distributable, and (ii) the consequences of   failing to delay or defer payment.  Such notification shall include a general description of the   material features and an explanation of the relative values of the operational forms of benefit   available under the Plan in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Section 417(a)(3)   of the Code; such notification shall be provided no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days prior   to the annuity starting date.       Distributions may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Section   1.411(a)-11(c) of the Treasury Regulations is given, provided that:      (a) the Committee informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a   period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or   not to elect a distribution and a particular distribution option, and     

 

   RSP - Art. XII 47   (b) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a   distribution.   12.12 Form of Payment.  All distributions under this Article XII shall be made in the   form of cash, provided that the person entitled to such distribution may request that all or a   portion of any distribution from the Company Stock Fund be distributed in the form of Common   Stock, with a cash adjustment for any fractional shares.  Such request must be made in   accordance with the procedures established by the Committee.  Alternatively, the Participant   may direct that the distribution be made in a single lump sum to an Eligible Retirement Plan.

   RSP - Art. XIII 49   desirable in connection with the administration of the Plan.  The Committee and any person to   whom it may delegate any duty or power in connection with the administration of the Plan, the   Company and the officers and directors thereof shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon and   shall be fully protected in any action omitted, taken, or suffered by them in good faith in reliance   upon any independent qualified public accountant, counsel, or other specialist, or other person   selected by the Committee, or in reliance upon any tables, evaluations, certificates, opinions, or   reports which shall be furnished by any of them or by the Trustee.   13.7 Co-Fiduciaries.  It is intended that to the maximum extent permitted by ERISA,   each person who is a fiduciary (as that term is defined in ERISA) with respect to the Plan shall   be responsible for the proper exercise of his own powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations   under the Plan and the Trust, as shall each person designated by any fiduciary to carry out any   fiduciary responsibilities with respect to the Plan or the Trust.  No fiduciary or other person to   whom fiduciary responsibilities are allocated shall be liable for any act or omission of any other   fiduciary or of any other person delegated to carry out any fiduciary or other responsibility under   the Plan or the Trust.   13.8 General Records.  The Committee shall maintain or cause to be maintained an   Account (and any separate subaccount) which accurately reflects the interest of each Participant,   as provided for in Section 9.1, and shall maintain or cause to be maintained all necessary books   of account and records with respect to the administration of the Plan.  The Committee shall mail   or cause to be mailed to Participants reports to be furnished to Participants in accordance with   the Plan or as may be required by ERISA.

In administering the Plan, except as may be   prohibited by ERISA, neither the Committee nor any person to whom it may delegate any duty   or power in connection with administering the Plan shall be liable for any action or failure to act   except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct; nor for the payment of any   amount under the Plan; nor for any mistake of judgment made by him or on his behalf as a   member of the Committee; nor for any action, failure to act, or loss unless resulting from his own   gross negligence or willful misconduct; nor for the neglect, omission, or wrongdoing of any   other member of the Committee.  No member of the Committee shall be personally liable under   any contract, agreement, bond, or other instrument made or executed by him or on his behalf as a   member of the Committee.   13.10 Reimbursement of Expenses and Compensation of Committee.  Members of the   Committee shall be reimbursed by the Company for expenses they may individually or   collectively incur in the performance of their duties.  Each member of the Committee who is a   full-time employee of the Company or of any Employing Company shall serve without   compensation for his services as such member; each other member of the Committee shall   receive such compensation, if any, for his services as the Board of Directors may fix from time   to time.     

 

   RSP - Art. XIII 50   13.11 Expenses of Plan and Trust Fund.  The expenses of establishment and   administration of the Plan and the Trust Fund, including all fees of auditors, and counsel, and   Trustee fees shall be paid by the Trust unless otherwise paid by the Company or the Employing   Companies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employing Companies may be reimbursed for   expenses paid on behalf of the Trust provided that a written request for reimbursement is   provided to the Trustee within six months of the payment of such expense.  Any expenses   directly related to the investments of the Trust Fund, such as stock transfer taxes, brokerage   commissions, or other charges incurred in the acquisition or disposition of such investments,   shall be paid from the Trust Fund (or from the particular Investment Fund to which such fees or   expenses relate) and shall be deemed to be part of the cost of such securities or deducted in   computing the proceeds therefrom, as the case may be.  Investment management fees for the   Investment Funds shall be paid from the particular Investment Fund to which they relate.  Any   expenses paid by the Company pursuant to Section 13.11 shall be subject to reimbursement by   other Employing Companies of their proportionate shares of such expenses as determined by the   Committee.   13.12 Responsibility for Funding Policy.

The Committee shall not have responsibility with respect   to the control or management of the assets of the Plan.  The Trustee shall have the sole   responsibility for the administration of the assets of the Plan as provided in the Trust Agreement,   except to the extent that an investment advisor (who qualifies as an Investment Manager as that   term is defined in ERISA) who may be appointed by the Committee shall have responsibility for   the management of the assets of the Plan, or some part thereof (including the powers to acquire   and dispose of the assets of the Plan, or some part thereof).   13.14 Notice and Claims Procedures.  Consistent with the requirements of ERISA and the   regulations thereunder of the Secretary of Labor from time to time in effect, the Committee shall   follow the procedures as set forth below:   (a) Deciding the Claim.  A claim is a request for a Plan benefit made by a   claimant on a form provided by the Committee.  The claimant must mail or deliver the   completed and executed form to the Committee for it to be considered.  The Committee   shall decide the claim.  Except in the case of a claim as a result of Total and Permanent   Disability (“disability claim” or “disability benefits”), if a claim is wholly or partially   denied, the Committee shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notification   of the adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but not later than   90 days after receipt of the claim by the Committee, unless the Committee determines   that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim.  If the   Committee determines that an extension of time for processing is required, written notice   of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial   90-day period.  In no event shall such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end   of such initial period.  The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances   requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render the   benefit determination.     

 

   RSP - Art. XIII 51   (b) Notification of the Decision.  The notification shall set forth, in a manner   calculated to be understood by the claimant:   (1) The specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination;   (2) Reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the   determination is based;   (3) 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;   (4) A description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits   applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the   claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of   ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on appeal; and   (5) In the case of an adverse benefit determination of a claim for a   disability benefit,   (A) If an internal rule, guideline, protocol or other similar   criterion was relied upon in making the adverse   determination, either the specific rule, guideline, protocol   or similar criterion; or a statement that such a rule,   guideline, protocol or other similar criterion was relied   upon in making the adverse determination and that a copy   of such rule, guideline, protocol or other criterion will be   provided free of charge to the claimant upon request; or   (B) If the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical   necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or   limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical   judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the   Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a   statement that such explanation will be provided free of   charge upon request.  Any electronic notification shall   comply with the standards imposed by regulations issued   by the Department of Labor under ERISA.   (c) Notification for Disability Claims.  In the case of a claim for disability   benefits, the Committee shall notify the claimant, as provided in the preceding paragraph,   of the Committee’s adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but   not later than 45 days after receipt of the claim by the Committee.  This period may be   extended by the Committee for up to 30 days, provided that the Committee both   determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the   Committee, and notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period,   of the circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee   expects to render a decision.  If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the     

 

   RSP - Art. XIII 52   Committee determines that, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, a decision   cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination   may be extended for up to an additional 30 days, provided that the Committee notifies the   claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances   requiring the extension and the date as of which the Committee expects to render a   decision.  The notice of extension shall specifically explain the standards on which   entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent the decision on the   claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues.  The claimant   should be afforded at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information.   (d) Time for Deciding Claims.  For purposes of subsection 13.14(a), the   period of time within which a benefit determination is required to be made shall begin at   the time a claim is filed in accordance with the procedures set forth in that subsection,   without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a benefit determination   accompanies the filing.  In the event a period of time is extended as permitted by   subsection 13.14(a) due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide   a claim, the period for making the benefit determination shall be tolled from the date on   which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the   claimant responds to the request for additional information.   (e) Authorized Representative.   An authorized representative of the claimant   may act on his or her behalf in pursuing a benefit claim or appeal of an adverse benefit   determination.  The Committee may require, as a prerequisite to dealing with a   representative, that the claimant verify in writing authority of the representative to act on   behalf of the claimant.   (f) Consistency.  The Committee shall conduct or have conducted on its   behalf periodic reviews to verify that benefit claim determinations are made in   accordance with governing Plan documents and that, where appropriate, the Plan’s   provisions have been applied consistently with respect to similarly-situated claimants.   (g) Deciding the Appeal.  A claimant may appeal an adverse benefit   determination to the Committee by mailing or delivering to the Committee a written   notice of appeal.  The claimant may submit written comments, documents, records, or   other information relating to the claim for benefits to the Committee.  The Committee   shall provide to the claimant, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and   copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim   for benefits.  Whether a document, record or other information is relevant to a claim for   benefits shall be determined in accordance with standards issued by the Department of   Labor.  The Committee shall decide the appeal.  The Committee’s decision shall take into   account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the   claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted   or considered in the initial benefit determination.  The Committee will not, however,   consider a claimant’s appeal unless the Committee receives it within 60 days following   receipt by the claimant of a notification of an adverse benefit determination.     

 

   RSP - Art. XIII 53   (h) Disability Appeals.  In the case of an appeal involving a disability benefit,   the Committee will not consider the appeal unless the Committee receives it within 180   days (rather than the generally applicable 60 days) after the claimant receives written   notification of the denial of his or her claim.  In deciding an appeal of any adverse benefit   determination involving a disability benefit where the determination is based in whole or   in part on a medical judgment, including determinations with regard to whether a   particular treatment, drug or other item is experimental, investigational, or not medically   necessary or appropriate, the Committee shall consult with a health care professional who   has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical   judgment.  In the case of an adverse benefit determination involving a disability claim,   the review on appeal shall provide for the identification of medical or vocational experts   whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse   benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making   the benefit determination.  Any health care professional engaged for purposes of a   consultation under this section shall be an individual who is neither an individual who   was consulted in connection with the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of   the appeal, nor the subordinate of any such individual.   (i) Time for Deciding Appeals.  The Committee will decide a claimant’s   appeal no later than 60 days following the Committee’s receipt of the appeal, unless the   Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for   processing the claim.  If the Committee determines that an extension of time for   processing the claim is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the   claimant prior to the termination of the initial 60-day period.  In no event shall such   extension exceed a period of 60 days from the end of the initial period.  The extension   notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date   by which the Committee expects to render its decision.   (j) Notification of the Decision on Appeal.  Except in the case of a disability   claim, the Committee shall provide a claimant as soon as possible, but not later than five   days after the benefit determination is made, with written or electronic notification of the   Committee’s decision on appeal.  Any electronic notification shall comply with the   standards imposed by the Department of Labor by regulations issued under ERISA.  In   the case of an adverse benefit determination, the notice shall set forth, in a manner   calculated to be understood by the claimant:   (1) The specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination;   (2) Reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the benefit   determination is based;   (3) A statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request   and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all   documents, records, and other information relevant to the   claimant’s claim for benefits (whether a document, record or other   information is relevant to a claim for benefit shall be determined     

 

   RSP - Art. XIII 54   by reference to regulations issued under ERISA by the Department   of Labor);   (4) A statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under section   502(a) of ERISA;   (5) In the case of claim involving a disability benefit:   (A) If an internal rule, guideline, protocol or other similar   criterion was relied upon in making the adverse   determination, either the specific rule, guideline, protocol   or similar criterion; or a statement that such rule, guideline,   protocol or other similar criterion was relied upon in   making the adverse determination and that a copy of the   rule, guideline, protocol or other criterion will be provided   free of charge to the claimant upon request; and   (B) If the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical   necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or   limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical   judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the   Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a   statement that such explanation will be provided free of   charge upon request.   (k) Notification of the Decision on Appeal; Disability Claims.  In the case of a   claim for disability benefits, the Committee shall notify the claimant, in accordance with   subsection 13.14(j), of the Committee’s benefit determination on review within a   reasonable period of time appropriate to the medical circumstances.  That notification   shall be provided not later than 45 days after receipt by the Committee of the claimant’s   request for review of an adverse benefit determination.  This period may be extended by   the Committee for up to 45 days, provided that the Committee both determines that such   an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Committee, and   notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period, of the   circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee   expects to render a decision.   13.15 Bonding.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or required by   law, no member of the Committee shall be required to give any bond or other security in any   jurisdiction.   13.16 Multiple Fiduciary Capacities.  Any person or group of persons may serve in   more than one fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan, and any fiduciary with respect to the   Plan may serve as a fiduciary with respect to the Plan in addition to being an officer, employee,   agent, or other representative of a party in interest, as that term is defined in ERISA.   13.17 Change in Administrative Procedures.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan   to the contrary, the Committee shall be authorized to take whatever actions it deems necessary or     

 

   RSP - Art. XIII 55   appropriate in its discretion to implement administrative procedures, including, but not limited   to, suspending plan participation (to the extent permitted by applicable law,) and suspending   changes in investment directions and fund transfers, even though otherwise permitted or required   under the Plan.   13.18 Contributions.  The Company and any Employing Company shall make such   contributions to the Trust Fund as are required by the provisions of the Plan, subject to the right   of the Company to terminate the Plan or the Employing Company to withdraw from the Plan.    The Trustee shall not be required to determine the amount of the Employing Company’s   contribution for any Plan Year or to enforce the duty of the Employing Company to make such   contributions; but the Trustee shall provide the Employing Company and the Committee with   such information as either of them may reasonably require in connection therewith.  Any   responsibility for pursuing or enforcing the duty of the Employing Company to make   contributions shall rest with the Committee.        

 

   RSP - Art. XIV 56   ARTICLE XIV      TRUSTEE OF THE PLAN   14.1 Trustee.  The Company has entered into a Trust Agreement with the Trustee to   hold the funds necessary to provide the benefits set forth in the Plan.  If the Board of Directors so   determines, the Company may enter into a Trust Agreement or Trust Agreements with additional   trustees.  Any Trust Agreement may be amended by the Company from time to time in   accordance with its terms.  Any Trust Agreement shall provide, among other things, that all   funds received by the Trustee thereunder will be held, administered, invested, and distributed by   the Trustee, and that no part of the corpus or income of the Trust held by the Trustee shall be   used for or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants or their   Beneficiaries, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.  Any Trust Agreement may also provide   that the investment and reinvestment of the Trust Fund, or any part thereof may be carried out in   accordance with directions given to the Trustee by any Investment Manager or Investment   Managers (as that term is defined in ERISA) who may be appointed by the Committee.  The   Board of Directors may remove any Trustee or any successor Trustee, and any Trustee or any   successor Trustee may resign.  Upon removal or resignation of a Trustee, the Board of Directors   shall appoint a successor Trustee.   14.2 Purchase of Common Stock.  As soon as practicable after receipt of funds   applicable to the purchase of Common Stock, the Trustee shall purchase Common Stock or cause   Common Stock to be purchased.  Such Common Stock may be purchased on the open market or   by private purchase (including private purchases directly from the Company); provided that (a)   no private purchase may be made at any price greater than the last sale price or highest current   independent bid price, whichever is higher, for Common Stock on the New York Stock   Exchange, plus an amount equal to the commission payable in a stock exchange transaction; and   (b) if such private purchase shall be a purchase of Common Stock directly from the Company, no   commission shall be paid with respect thereto.  The Trustee may hold in cash, and may   temporarily invest in short-term United States obligations, commercial paper, or certificates of   deposit, funds applicable to the purchase of Common Stock pending investment of such funds in   such Common Stock.   14.3 Voting of Common Stock.  Before each annual or special meeting of shareholders   of the Company, there shall be sent to each Participant a copy of the proxy soliciting material for   the meeting, together with a form requesting instructions to the Trustee on how to vote the shares   of Common Stock credited to such Participant’s Account as of the record date of the Common   Stock.  If a Participant does not provide the Trustee or its designated agent with timely voting   instructions for the Trustee, the Committee or its delegate may direct the Trustee how to vote   such Participant’s shares.  If the Committee or its delegate does not provide the Trustee or its   designated agent with timely voting instructions, the Trustee, if required to do so by applicable   law, may vote such Participant’s shares.  The Committee or its delegate may direct the Trustee   with respect to voting unallocated shares of Common Stock, if any.  If the Committee or its   delegate does not provide the Trustee or its designated agent with timely voting instructions, the   Trustee, if required to do so by applicable law, may vote such unallocated shares.  In the event of   a tender or exchange offer with respect to the Common Stock, the Trustee shall vote shares of     

 

   RSP - Art. XIV 57   Common Stock for which no direction is received and unallocated shares of Common Stock in   the same proportion as the vote of the Participants, unless otherwise required by applicable law.   14.4 Voting of Other Investment Fund Shares.  The Committee or its delegate may   direct the Trustee with respect to voting the shares in any Investment Fund other than the   Company Stock Fund.  To the extent an Investment Manager has been designated with respect to   an Investment Fund, such Investment Manager (and not the Committee) shall direct the Trustee   with respect to voting the shares in such Investment Fund.  If the Investment Manager does not   direct the Trustee with respect to voting such shares, the Committee may direct the Trustee with   respect to voting such shares.  If the Committee does not provide the Trustee or its designated   agent with timely voting instructions, the Trustee, if required to do so by applicable law, may   vote such shares.   14.5 Uninvested Amounts.  The Trustee may keep uninvested an amount of cash   sufficient in its opinion to enable it to carry out the purposes of the Plan.   14.6 Independent Accounting.  The Board of Directors shall select a firm of independent   public accountants to examine and report annually on the financial position and the results of   operation of the Trust forming a part of the Plan.        

 

   RSP - Art. XV 58   ARTICLE XV      AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN   15.1 Amendment of the Plan.  The Plan may be amended or modified by the Board of   Directors pursuant to its written resolutions at any time and from time to time; provided,   however, that no such amendment or modification shall make it possible for any part of the   corpus or income of the Trust Fund to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the   exclusive benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries under the Plan, including such part as is   required to pay taxes and administration expenses of the Plan.  The Plan may also be amended or   modified by the Committee (a) if such amendment or modification does not involve a substantial   increase in cost to any Employing Company, or (b) as may be necessary, proper, or desirable in   order to comply with laws or regulations enacted or promulgated by any federal or state   governmental authority and to maintain the qualification of the Plan under Sections 401(a) and   501(a) of the Code and the applicable provisions of ERISA.     No amendment to the Plan shall have the effect of decreasing a Participant’s vested interest   in his Account, determined without regard to such amendment, as of the later of the date such   amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective.  In addition, if the vesting schedule of the   Plan is amended, any Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service and whose   vested interest is at any time adversely affected by such amendment may elect to have his vested   interest determined without regard to such amendment during the election period defined under   Section 411(a)(10) of the Code.  Finally, no amendment shall eliminate an optional form of benefit   in violation of Code Section 411(d)(6).      15.2 Termination of the Plan.  It is the intention of the Employing Companies to   continue the Plan indefinitely.  However, the Board of Directors pursuant to its written   resolutions may at any time and for any reason suspend or terminate the Plan or suspend or   discontinue the making of contributions of all Participants and of contributions by all Employing   Companies.  Any Employing Company may, by action of its board of directors and approval of   the Board of Directors, suspend or terminate the making of contributions of Participants in the   employ of such Employing Company and of contributions by such Employing Company.    In the event of termination of the Plan or partial termination or upon complete   discontinuance of contributions under the Plan by all Employing Companies or by any one   Employing Company, the amount to the credit of the Account of each Participant whose Employing   Company shall be affected by such termination or discontinuance shall be nonforfeitable and   determined as of the next Valuation Date and shall be distributed to him or his Beneficiary   thereafter at such time or times and in such nondiscriminatory manner as is determined by the   Committee in compliance with the restrictions on distributions set forth in Code.        15.3 Merger or Consolidation of the Plan.  The Plan shall not be merged or   consolidated with nor shall any assets or liabilities thereof be transferred to any other plan unless   each Participant of the Plan would (if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately   after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would     

 

   RSP - Art. XV 59   have been entitled to receive immediately prior to the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the   Plan had then terminated).     

 

   RSP - Art. XVI 60   ARTICLE XVI      TOP-HEAVY REQUIREMENTS   16.1 Top-Heavy Plan Requirements.  For any Plan Year the Plan shall be determined   to be a top-heavy plan, the Plan shall provide the minimum allocation requirement of Section   16.3.   16.2 Determination of Top-Heavy Status.   (a) The Plan shall be determined to be a top-heavy plan for any Plan Year, if,   as of the Determination Date, the sum of the Aggregate Accounts of Key Employees   under this Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the Aggregate Accounts of all Employees   entitled to participate in this Plan.   (b) In the case of a Required Aggregation Group, each plan in the group will   be considered a top-heavy plan if the Required Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy   Group.  No plan in the Required Aggregation Group will be considered a top-heavy plan   if the Aggregation Group is not a Top-Heavy Group.   In the case of a Permissive Aggregation Group, only a plan that is part of the   Required Aggregation Group will be considered a top-heavy plan if the Permissive   Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group.  A plan that is not part of the Required   Aggregation Group but that has nonetheless been aggregated as part of the Permissive   Aggregation Group will not be considered a top-heavy plan even if the Permissive   Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group.      (c) For purposes of this Article XVI, if any Employee is a non-Key Employee   for any Plan Year, but such Employee was a Key Employee for any prior Plan Year, such   Employee’s Present Value of Accrued Retirement Income and/or Aggregate Account   balance shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether this Plan is a   top-heavy plan (or whether any Aggregation Group which includes this Plan is a Top-   Heavy Group).  In addition, if an Employee or former Employee has not performed any   services for any Employing Company maintaining the Plan at any time during the one-   year period ending on the Determination Date, the Aggregate Account and/or Present   Value of Accrued Retirement Income shall be excluded in determining whether this Plan   is a top-heavy plan.   (d) Only those plans of the Affiliated Employers in which the Determination   Dates fall within the same calendar year shall be aggregated in order to determine   whether such plans are top-heavy plans.   16.3 Minimum Allocation for Top-Heavy Plan Years.   (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for any top-heavy Plan   Year, the Employing Company contribution allocated to the Account of each non-Key   Employee Participant shall be an amount not less than the lesser of: (1) three percent     

 

   RSP - Art. XVI 61   (3%) of such Participant’s compensation for that Plan Year, or (2) a percentage of that   Participant’s compensation not to exceed the percentage at which contributions are made   under the Plan for the Key Employee for whom such percentage is highest for that Plan   Year. The Employer Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of   this Section 16.3.   (b) For purposes of the minimum allocation of Section 16.3(a), the percentage   allocated to the Account of any Key Employee shall be equal to the ratio of the   Employing Company contributions allocated on behalf of such Key Employee divided by   the compensation of such Key Employee for that Plan Year.   (c) For any top-heavy Plan Year, the minimum allocations of Section 16.3(a)   shall be allocated to the Accounts of all non-Key Employees who are Participants and   who are employed by the Affiliated Employers on the last day of the Plan Year.   (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Plan Year in which a non-Key   Employee is a Participant in both this Plan and a defined benefit plan, and both such   plans are top-heavy plans, the Affiliated Employers shall not be required to provide a   non-Key Employee with both the full separate minimum defined benefit and the full   separate defined contribution plan allocations.  Therefore, if a non-Key Employee is   participating in a defined benefit plan maintained by the Affiliated Employers and the   minimum benefit under Code Section 416(c)(1) is provided the non-Key Employee under   such defined benefit plan, the minimum allocation provided for above shall not be   applicable, and no minimum allocation shall be made on behalf of the non-Key   Employee.  Alternatively, the Employing Company may satisfy the minimum allocation   requirement of Code Section 416(c)(2) for the non-Key Employee by providing any   combination of benefits and/or contributions that satisfy the safe harbor rules of Treasury   Regulation Section 1.416-1(M-12).   16.4 Minimum Vesting for Top-Heavy Years.  Notwithstanding the provisions of   Section 10.1(a) hereof, if a Participant’s termination of employment occurs while the Plan is a   Top-Heavy Plan and such Participant is not fully vested in his Account, such Participant’s vested   percentage in his Account shall be fully vested if the Participant is credited with three (3) Years   of Service.     

 

   RSP - Art. XVII 62   ARTICLE XVII      GENERAL PROVISIONS   17.1 Plan Not an Employment Contract.  The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a   contract between an Employing Company and any Employee, nor shall anything herein   contained be deemed to give any Employee any right to be retained in the employ of an   Employing Company or to interfere with the right of an Employing Company to discharge any   Employee at any time and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might   have upon him as a Participant.   17.2 No Right of Assignment or Alienation.  Except as may be otherwise permitted or   required by law, no right or interest in the Plan of any Participant or Beneficiary and no distribution   or payment under the Plan to any Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject in any manner to   anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer (except by death), assignment (either at law or in equity),   pledge, encumbrance, charge, attachment, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable   process, whether voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer,   assign, pledge, encumber, charge, attach, garnish, levy, or execute or enforce any other legal or   equitable process against the same shall be void, nor shall any such right, interest, distribution, or   payment be in any way liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts   of any person entitled to such right, interest, distribution, or payment.  If any Participant or   Beneficiary is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge,   encumber, or charge any such right, interest, distribution, or payment, voluntarily or involuntarily,   or if any action shall be taken which is in violation of the provisions of the immediately preceding   sentence, the Committee may hold or apply or cause to be held or applied such right, interest,   distribution, or payment or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such Participant or Beneficiary in   such manner as is in accordance with applicable law.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s benefits may be offset (i.e., reduced) pursuant   to a judgment, order, decree issued or settlement agreement, if and to the extent that such offset is   permissible or required under Code § 401(a)(13).  The Committee shall establish procedures for (a)   notifying Participants and alternate payees who have or may have an interest in benefits which are   the subject of domestic relations orders, (b) determining whether such domestic relations orders are   qualified domestic relations orders under Section 414(p) of the Code, and (c) distributing benefits   which are subject to qualified domestic relations orders.      17.3 Payment to Minors and Others.  If the Committee determines that any person   entitled to a distribution or payment from the Trust Fund is a minor or incompetent or is unable   to care for his affairs by reason of physical or mental disability, it may cause all distributions or   payments thereafter becoming due to such person to be made to any other person for his benefit,   without responsibility to follow the application of payments so made.  Payments made pursuant   to this provision shall completely discharge the Company, the Trustee, and the Committee with   respect to the amounts so paid.  No person shall have any rights under the Plan with respect to   the Trust Fund, or against the Trustee or any Employing Company, except as specifically   provided herein.     

 

   RSP - Art. XVII 63   17.4 Source of Benefits.  The Trust Fund established under the Plan shall be the sole   source of the payments or distributions to be made in accordance with the Plan.  No person shall   have any rights under the Plan with respect to the Trust Fund, or against the Trustee or any   Employing Company, except as specifically provided herein.   17.5 Unclaimed Benefits.  If the Committee is unable, within five (5) years after any   distribution becomes payable to a Participant or Beneficiary, to make or direct payment to the   person entitled thereto because the identity or whereabouts of such person cannot be ascertained,   notwithstanding the mailing of due notice to such person at his last known address as indicated   by the records of either the Committee or his Employing Company, then such benefit or   distribution will be disposed of as follows:   (a) If the whereabouts of the Participant is unknown to the Committee,   distribution will be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.     Payment to such one or more persons shall completely discharge the Company, the   Trustee, and the Committee with respect to the amounts so paid.      (b) If none of the persons described in (a) above, can be located, then the   benefit payable under the Plan shall be forfeited and shall be applied to reduce future   Employer Matching Contributions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such benefit   shall be reinstated if a claim is made by the Participant or Beneficiary for the forfeited   benefit.   17.6 Military Leave.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary to the   extent required by Code Sections 401(a)(37) or 414(u):   (a) contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military   service will be provided in accordance with Code section 414(u) with respect to   employees who are reemployed with the Employer;   (b) in the event a Participant who ceases to be an Employee in order to   perform qualified military service dies on or after January 1, 2007 while performing   qualified military service, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to any additional   benefits provided under the Plan (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of   qualified military service) as if the Participant has resumed employment with the   Employer and then terminated employment on account of death;   (c) effective January 1, 2009, “Compensation” as defined under Article II   shall include any “differential wage payment” (as defined in section 3401(h)(2) of the   Code) received by a Participant performing qualified military service with respect to the   Employing Company; and   (d) effective January 1, 2009, a Participant who is performing service in the   uniformed services described in Code section 3401(h)(2)(A) while on active duty for a   period of more than 30 days may elect to receive a payment of his Before-Tax   Contribution Account determined as the Valuation Date immediately preceding the   distribution.  A Participant who makes such an election shall be suspended from making     

 

   RSP - Art. XVII 64   any Before-Tax Contributions or After-Tax Contributions to any plan maintained by an   Employing Company for a period of six months beginning on the date of distribution.   17.7 Governing Law.  The provisions of the Plan and the Trust shall be construed,   administered, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, except to the   extent such laws are preempted by the laws of the United States.        

 

   RSP - Art. XVIII 65   ARTICLE XVIII      ESOP COMPONENT   18.1 In General:   (a) On and after March 17, 2004, the Plan shall consist of two components,   one of which shall be the ESOP Component, and the other of which shall be the Profit   Sharing Component.  Effective on March 17, 2004, (i) any amounts under the Plan that   are invested in Common Stock, shall be invested in the Company Stock Fund, and (ii) the   portion of any Account that is invested in the Company Stock Fund shall be provided   under the ESOP Component of the Plan, and the portion of any Account that is invested   in any Investment Fund other than the Company Stock Fund shall be provided under the   Profit Sharing Component of the Plan.   (b) The ESOP Component of the Plan is intended to qualify as a stock bonus   plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and as an employee stock ownership plan under   Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code.  The ESOP Component is designed to invest primarily in   “qualifying employer securities,” as defined in Sections 4975(e)(8) and 409(l) of the   Code and Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA.  The ESOP Component is described in this   Article XVIII.  The provisions of this Article XVIII shall supersede any contrary   provisions of the Plan.   18.2 Acquisition and Disposition of Employer Securities.   (a) General.  Any purchase of Common Stock by the Trust Fund shall be   made at a price that is not in excess of its fair value market value.  The Committee shall   determine the fair market value of any nonpublicly traded Common Stock based upon the   value determined by an independent appraiser that has expertise in rendering such   evaluations and that satisfies requirements similar to those set forth in Treasury   Regulations promulgated under Code Section 170(a)(1).  The Committee may direct the   Trustee to buy Common Stock from, or sell Common Stock to, any person, subject to   Subsection (b) below.   (b) Transactions with Disqualified Persons.  In the case of any transaction   involving Common Stock between the Trust Fund and a Disqualified Person or any   transaction involving Common Stock that is subject to Section 406(b) of ERISA, no   commission shall be charged with respect to the transaction and the transaction shall be   for adequate consideration (as defined in Section 3(18) of ERISA) or, in the case of an   evidence of indebtedness of an Employing Company or an affiliate of an Employing   Company, at a price not less favorable to the Plan than the price determined under   Section 407(e)(1) of ERISA.   (c) For purposes of this Article XVIII, “Disqualified Person” shall mean:   (1) a fiduciary;     

 

   RSP - Art. XVIII 66   (2) a person providing services to the Plan;   (3) an Employing Company any of whose Employees are covered by   the Plan;   (4) an employee organization any of whose members are covered by   the Plan;   (5) an owner, direct or indirect, of fifty percent (50%)   or more of --   (A) the combined voting power of all classes of stock   entitled to vote or the total value of shares of all   classes of stock of a corporation,   (B) the capital interest or the profits interest of a   partnership, or   (C) the beneficial interest of a trust or unincorporated   enterprise,   which is an Employing Company or an employee organization described   in paragraph (3) or (4) above;   (6) a member of the family of any individual described in paragraph   (1), (2), (3), or (5) above;   (7) a corporation, partnership, or trust or estate of which (or in which)   fifty percent (50%) or more of --   (A) the combined voting power of all classes of stock   entitled to vote or the total value of shares of all   classes of stock of such corporation,   (B) the capital interest or profits interest of such   partnership, or   (C) the beneficial interest of such trust or estate,    is owned, directly or indirectly, or held by persons described in paragraph   (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) above;   (8) an officer, director (or an individual having powers or   responsibilities similar to those of officers or directors), a ten   percent (10%) or more shareholder, or a highly compensated   employee (earning ten percent (10%) or more of the yearly wages   of an employer) of a person described in paragraph (3), (4), (5), or   (7) above;     

 

   RSP - Art. XVIII 67   (9) a ten percent (10%) or more (in capital or profits) partner or joint   venture of a person described in paragraph (3), (4), (5), or (7)   above;   For purposes of this section the term “fiduciary” means any person who exercises any   discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting management of the Plan or exercises   any authority or control respecting management or disposition of its assets, renders investment   advice for a fee or other compensation, direct or indirect, with respect to any moneys or other   property of the Plan, or has any authority or responsibility to do so, or has any discretionary   authority or discretionary responsibility in the administration of the Plan.  The term “fiduciary”   includes any person designated under Section 405(c)(1)(B) of ERISA.  For purposes of this   section, the family of any individual shall include his or her spouse, ancestor, lineal descendant,   and the spouse of a lineal descendant.   18.3 Timing of Distributions.  If the Participant’s vested interest in the Plan exceeds   $5,000 then, with the consent of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse, if applicable, the   entire vested amount shall be distributed as follows:   (a) If the Participant terminates employment after his Normal Retirement   Date or because of death or Total and Permanent Disability, payments will commence no   later than the last day of the Plan Year which follows the Plan Year in which the   Participant’s employment was terminated.     (b) If the Participant terminates employment for any other reason, payments   will commence no later than the last day of the fifth Plan Year following the Plan Year in   which the Participant’s employment was terminated.     If a Participant does not consent to such a distribution, then the Participant’s vested   interest in the Plan shall be distributed pursuant to Section 12.7.   18.4 Put Option on Common Stock.   (a) When Put Required.  If a Participant receives a distribution of Common   Stock and the Common Stock is not readily tradable on an established market, then the   Common Stock distributed to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) must be subject   to a put option, as described in this Section 18.4.   (b) Holder of Put.  The put option shall be exercisable by the Participant, or if   deceased, by the Participant’s Beneficiary, by the donees of either or by a person   (including an estate or its distributee) to whom the Common Stock passes by reason of   the death of the Participant or the Beneficiary.   (c) Responsibility for Put.  The holder of the put option shall be entitled to put   the Common Stock to the Company.  The Committee shall have the authority to have the   Plan assume the rights and obligations of the Company at the time the put option is   exercised by directing the Trustee to repurchase the Common Stock; provided, however,   that under no circumstances may the put option bind the Plan.  If it is known that federal   or state law will be violated by the Company’s honoring the put option, the put option     

 

   RSP - Art. XVIII 68   must permit the Common Stock to be put, in a manner consistent with such law, to a third   party (for example, an affiliate of the Company or a shareholder of the Company other   than the Plan) that has substantial net worth that is reasonably expected to remain   substantial.   (d) Duration of Put.  The holder of the put option shall be entitled to exercise   the option at any time during two option periods.  The first option period shall be the 60-   day period commencing on the date of the distribution of the Common Stock, and if the   option is not exercised during that period, a second 60-day period shall commence in the   following Plan Year.  The period during which a put option is exercisable does not   include any time when a holder of the put option is unable to exercise it because the party   bound by the put option is prohibited from honoring it by applicable federal or state law.   (e) Manner of Exercise.  A put option is exercised by the holder notifying the   Company in writing that the option is being exercised.   (f) Price.  The exercise price for a put option shall be the value of the   Common Stock based upon all relevant factors for determining the fair market value of   the Common Stock, and shall be made in good faith.  In the case of a transaction between   the Plan and a Disqualified Person, value shall be determined as of the date of the   transaction.  For all other purposes, value shall be determined as of the most recent   Valuation Date under the Plan.  An independent appraisal will not, in and of itself, be a   good faith determination of value in the case of a transaction between the Plan and a   Disqualified Person.  However, in other cases, a determination of fair market value based   on at least an annual appraisal independently arrived at by a person who customarily   makes such appraisals and who is independent of any party to a transaction involving a   right of first refusal or a put option with respect to Common Stock distributed under this   Plan will be deemed to be a good faith determination of value.   (g) Payment Terms and Restrictions.  The terms of payment for the sale of   Common Stock pursuant to a put option shall be as provided in the put and shall be paid   in installments pursuant to an agreement that provides--   (1) adequate security, as determined by the Committee,   (2) a reasonable rate of interest, as determined by the Committee,   (3) for equal annual payments beginning not later than 30 days after   the date the put option is exercised, and   (4) a term of payment not extending beyond five years from the date   the put option is exercised.   18.5 Miscellaneous ESOP Component Provisions.   (a) Payment of Dividends.     

 

   RSP - Art. XVIII 69   (1) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide that any   dividends paid in cash during a Plan Year on shares of Common   Stock held in the Company Stock Fund shall be (A) paid in cash   directly to the Participant, (B) paid to the Plan and subsequently   distributed to the Participant in cash no later than 90 days after the   close of the Plan Year in which the dividends are paid to the Plan   or, (C) at the election of the Participant, either (i) paid to the   Participant as provided in clause (A) or (B) (as determined by the   Committee) or (ii) paid to the Participant’s ESOP Dividend   Account to be reinvested in the Company Stock Fund.  Such   dividends shall be paid in accordance with procedures established   by the Committee.     (2) If an election pursuant to paragraph (1)(C) is provided by the   Committee, each Participant may make the election, in the manner   and at the time specified by the Committee, with respect to   dividends received on shares of Common Stock comprising the   portion of the Company Stock Fund allocated to the Participant’s   Accounts under the Plan.  If an election pursuant to paragraph   (1)(C) is provided by the Committee and a Participant does not   make such an election, such dividends shall be paid to the   Participant’s ESOP Dividend Account to be reinvested in the   Company Stock Fund.   (3) The Beneficiary of a deceased Participant and a Participant’s   alternate payee shall have the same rights as a Participant has   under this Section 18.5(a).   (4) The provisions of this Section 18.5(a) are intended to implement   the provisions of Code Section 404(k), and shall be interpreted and   applied accordingly.   (b) Independent Appraiser.  Common Stock held in the Company Stock Fund   shall be valued as of each Valuation Date, or at the discretion of the Committee, more   frequently.  All valuations of Common Stock held in the Company Stock Fund that is not   readily tradable on an established securities market shall be made by an independent   appraiser that satisfies requirements similar to those set forth in Treasury Regulations   promulgated under Code Section 170(a)(1).   (c) Sale Under Code Section 1042. Common Stock that has been acquired by   the Plan in a sale to which Code section 1042 applies (and amounts allocable in lieu   thereof) shall not be allocated during the nonallocation period directly or indirectly under   the Plan (or any qualified plan of any Employing Company) to the Accounts of:     

 

   RSP - Art. XVIII 70   (1) The individual who makes the election under Code section 1042.   (2) Any individual who is related (within the meaning of Code section   267(b)) to the individual who makes the election under Code   section 1042. However, this paragraph shall not apply to lineal   descendents of the individual who makes the election under Code   section 1042, provided that the aggregate amount allocated to the   benefit of such lineal descendents during the non-allocation period   does not exceed more than five percent (5%) of the Common   Stock (or amounts allocated in lieu thereof) held by the Plan which   are attributable to a sale to the Plan by any person related to such   descendents (within the meaning of Code section 267(c)(4)) in a   transaction subject to Code section 1042.

   RSP - Schedule 4 15      ARTICLE II      APPLICATION OF APPENDIX      This Appendix A to Schedule 4 shall apply only to NIPA Eligible Participants who have   a NIPA maintained on their behalf under the Plan and only with respect to amounts held under   such NIPA.  The provisions of this Appendix A shall control over any other provisions of the   Plan inconsistent therewith with respect to amounts held under a NIPA.  In the event a NIPA   Eligible Participant elects to receive a STFA contribution in any Plan Year, the Policies and   Contracts for such Participant shall be converted to their cash value and transferred to a STFA   maintained for such Participant, and the provisions of this Appendix A to Schedule 4 shall no   longer apply to such Participant.      In addition, to have additional Policies or Contracts purchased on his behalf, an   Employee must execute Policy and Contract application forms as may be required.

   RSP - Schedule 4 17      ARTICLE IV      CONTRIBUTIONS      4.1 Amount and Time of Company’s Contribution.  During the continuance of the Appendix   A, for any NIPA Eligible Participant who elects to receive a NIPA Contribution, the annual   contribution with respect to such Participant shall be equal to the net premium payable during   that year under all Policies and Contracts on the life of such Participant required hereunder.  In   determining a Participant’s “Estimated Annual Compensation” the amount of a Participant’s   “bonus” shall be excluded.      For Participants age 65 and over, where no premium is due because the Participant’s   Policies or Contracts have “matured,” the annual contribution shall be five percent (5%) of such   Participant’s “Estimated Annual Compensation.”      For any year, a Participant’s Estimated Annual Compensation shall equal the product of   the number of payroll dates in such year and such Participant’s actual compensation for such   year as of the Computation Date divided by the number of payroll dates in such year as of the   Computation Date.  For purposes of this Section 4.1, the term Computation Date shall mean a   date, within five weeks of the end of the year, on which the Estimated Annual Compensation of a   Participant is determined.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, effective as of July 1, 2002 no additional   NIPA Contributions shall be made to the Plan.       4.2 Minimum Contributions.  Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, the   Company shall contribute for each Participant an amount sufficient to pay the premium or   premiums on Policies and/or Contracts which shall provide a guaranteed monthly life income of   $10 upon attaining Normal Retirement Age, or, if later, the maturity date of the Policy or   Contract.      4.3 Compensation Limit.

   RSP - Schedule 4 18      ARTICLE V      INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS      5.1 Policies and Contracts.  The Company’s contribution to the NIPA under this Appendix A   with respect to a NIPA Eligible Participant shall be invested as follows:      (a) In the case of each such Participant who is 55 years of age or younger at the time   he became a Participant in the Pension Trust, the Trustee shall purchase from the   Insurer a Special Retirement Endowment or similar policy at 65, on the life of   such Participant with the contribution made for such Participant’s account.  If   application for such policy on the life of such Participant should be rejected by   such Insurer, then the Company shall purchase a Retirement Annuity Contract   maturing at 65, on the life of such Participant.      (b) In the case of each such Participant who is 56 years of age but less than 65 years   of age at the time he became a Participant in the Pension Trust, the Trustee shall   purchase from the Insurer with funds of the pension trust, a Special Retirement   Endowment Policy maturing at the tenth (10th) Anniversary Date of the time he   becomes a Participant.      (c) In the case of each such Participant who is 65 years of age or older at the time he   became a Participant in the Pension Trust, the Trustee shall purchase from the   Insurer a Retirement Annuity Contract, maturing at the tenth (10th) anniversary of   the time he becomes a Participant.      5.2 Increases in Policy Amount.  During each election period during which a NIPA Eligible   Participant elects to receive a NIPA Contribution, there shall be computed the amount of the then   estimated annual compensation of each Participant; five percent (5%) of such compensation shall   then be computed; from such resulting figure shall be subtracted the gross premium payable on   the Policy or Policies and/or Contract or Contracts on such Participant’s life; and the figure   remaining after such subtraction shall determine what increase in the Policy amount, if any, shall   be provided for such Participant:      (a) If, after such subtraction, the remaining figure employed as a premium at such   participant’s then insurable age would result in an increase in the Policy amount   of less than $5 per month, then no increase in the Policy amount shall be made.      (b) If, after such subtraction, the remaining figure employed as a premium at such   Participant’s then insurable age would result in an increase in the Policy amount   of at least $5 per month and not more than $10 per month, then such the Policy   amount shall be increased by $10 per month by the purchase of the appropriate   Policy or Contract provided for in Section 5.1.        

 

   RSP - Schedule 4 19   (c) If, after such subtraction, the remaining figure employed as a premium at such   Participant’s then insurable age would result in an increase in the Policy amount   of more than $10 per month, then such increase in the Policy amount shall be   made by the purchase of the appropriate Policy or Contract.      5.3 Ownership of Policies and Contracts.  All Policies and Contracts, whether or not reduced,   divided, or converted into paid-up contracts, shall be owned and held by the Trustee subject to   the terms and provisions of this agreement.  The Trustee is further granted full right, power and   authority to execute applications for such Special Retirement Endowment or similar Policy   and/or Retirement Annuity or similar Contract on the life of each Participant pursuant to the   foregoing provisions of this agreement.  Retirement benefits under a Policy or Contract shall be   payable to the Participant and any death benefit thereunder shall be payable to a Beneficiary or   Beneficiaries in the application therefore in accordance with the provisions hereof.      5.4 Premium Notices.  The Trustee shall designate in such application that the usual premium   notice shall be sent by the Insurer to the Company and the Trustee.      5.5 Payment of Premiums.  The Trustee shall pay the premiums as they severally accrue on   all Policies and Contracts (except paid-up Policies and Contracts) held by the Trustee under and   pursuant to the Plan, but only to the extent that the Trustee shall have funds in the plan available   for the payment of such premiums, or as required by ERISA.      5.6 Unisex Policies and Contracts.  All Policies and Contracts purchased from the Insurer   shall be based on unisex, rather than sex-distinct, mortality tables.  All Policies and Contracts on   the lives of female Participants based on sex-distinct mortality tables shall be changed to paid-up   insurance, and Policies and Contracts based on unisex mortality tables shall be purchased on the   lives of such Participants; the gross premium on such Policies and Contracts shall be the same as   the gross premium that would have been due on the Policies and Contracts changed to paid-up   insurance had such Policies and Contracts not been so changed.        

 

   RSP - Schedule 4 20      ARTICLE VI      RETIREMENT BENEFITS         6.1 Normal Retirement Benefits.  Subject to the second paragraph of Section 12.1 of   Schedule 4, upon retirement on or after his NIPA Normal Retirement Date, a NIPA Eligible   Participant shall elect one of the following methods for the payment of his benefits attributable to   the NIPA maintained on his behalf:      (a) Assignment of the Policies or Contracts on his life to the Participant who may   continue to pay the premiums thereon and payment of the remainder of his   Accrued Benefit, if any, to the Participant;      (b) Surrender of the Policies and/or Contracts on his life for their cash surrender   values and the payment thereof along with the remainder, if any, of his Accrued   Benefit to the Participant; or      (c) Surrender of the Policies and/or Contracts on his life and purchase of an annuity   with the proceeds therefrom and the remainder, if any, of his Accrued Benefit,   provided, however, that if the Participant has been married for one year prior to   his termination and has not elected to receive benefits on other than a joint and   survivor basis with continuation of payments after his death to his spouse of at   least fifty percent (50%) of the amount of payments to him (“Qualified Joint and   Survivor Annuity”) payment of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be   made, and provided, further, however, that if payment is in the form of a life   annuity (other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity) such life annuity shall   not include a certain period longer than the life expectancy of the Participant   unless, at commencement of payment, the present value of payments to be made   to the Participant while living exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the present value of   the total payments to the Participant and his Beneficiaries.  Notwithstanding the   preceding, effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, a   Participant may choose, in lieu of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, a   75% joint and survivor annuity with continuation of payment after the   Participant’s death to his spouse of seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount of   the annuity payment made to the Participant (“Qualified Optional Survivor   Annuity”).      The above benefits shall be elected on forms prescribed by the Company.  The Company   shall furnish to each Participant at least 30, but not more than 90 days prior to his retirement, a   written explanation in nontechnical language of the terms and conditions of such Joint and   Survivor Annuity and the financial effect of making an election not to take the Joint and Survivor   Annuity.  An election not to take the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or the Qualified   Optional Survivor Annuity, or a change in or revocation of any such election, may be made at   any time during an election period prescribed by the Company of at least 90 days following the     

 

   RSP - Schedule 4 21   date the information referred to in the preceding sentence is furnished to such Participant and   ending when payment of the Participant’s benefit commences.      The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1 notwithstanding, in the case of any married   Participant who elects the method of payment described in subsection 6.1(c), no election to   receive benefits as an annuity on other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity basis or a   Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity shall be valid unless (i) such Participant’s spouse consents   in writing to the election of an annuity on such other basis and acknowledges the effect of such   election, and (ii) such consent is witnessed by a notary public.  No such spousal consent need be   furnished with respect to an election, however, if the Trustees are satisfied that such Participant’s   spouse cannot be located, or that such consent is unobtainable for any other reason provided   under the regulations of the Internal Revenue Service.      The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1 notwithstanding, no Participant may delay   the receipt of his Accrued Benefit hereunder to the extent that such delay would result in death   benefits which are more than incidental, within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Service   Regulation 1.401-1(b)(1)(i).      In the event the cash surrender value of the Policies and/or Contracts on the life of a   NIPA Eligible Participant exceeds $5,000 and such NIPA Eligible Participant fails to make an   election under this Article VI, any Policies and/or Contracts held in his NIPA shall be converted   to the cash value of such Policies and/or Contracts, and such cash shall be transferred to the   STFA to be maintained on his behalf and invested pursuant to Section 5.5.      6.2 Continuation of Contributions during Employment after Age 65      (a) On each Anniversary Date on which a NIPA Eligible Participant shall continue to   be actively employed and elects to receive a NIPA Contribution after age 65, the   Company shall contribute to his NIPA a sum equal to the net premium last paid   on the Policy or Contract on his life prior to his attaining age 65.      (b) Funds so received by the Trustee shall be applied to the maximum extent possible   to the Contracts and/or Policies on the life of the NIPA Eligible Participant which   have not yet matured.  Contracts and/or Policies which have matured shall be   placed under an optional maturity date so as to permit such policies to remain in   force.      6.3 Death Benefits.  If any Policy or Contract on the life of a NIPA Eligible Participant shall   mature by reason of his Death, its proceeds shall be paid to the Designated Beneficiary or   Beneficiaries of such Policy or Contract pursuant to written directions from the Designated   Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in a lump sum.      6.4 Designation of Beneficiary.  The Beneficiary or Beneficiaries of a Participant for   purposes of this Appendix A shall be his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated in accordance   with Section 12.5 of Schedule 4.        

 

   RSP - Schedule 4 22   6.5 Termination of Employment other than by Retirement or Death.  If any Policy or   Contract on the life of a Participant shall mature by reason of a Participant’s termination of   employment other than by Retirement or Death, the Participant’s Accrued Benefit, including the   values of the Policies and/or Contracts on his life shall become one hundred percent (100%)   nonforfeitable and shall thereupon be distributed under such option or combination of options   requested by the Participant as shall be available under Section 6.1 hereinabove.      6.6 Time of Benefit Payment Commencement      (a) Payment of benefits due under the provisions of this Article VI, unless a later date   is elected in writing, shall commence no later than 60 days after the close of the   Plan Year in which such benefits become payable.      (b) Required Beginning Date:  Any provision of this Appendix to the contrary   notwithstanding, the payment of benefits under this Appendix shall commence no   later than the date benefits are required to commence under the terms of the Plan.      (c) Any distribution to a NIPA Eligible Participant shall require such Participant’s   consent if such distribution commences prior to the later of his Normal   Retirement Date or age 62.  With regard to this required consent:      (i) No consent shall be valid unless the Participant has received a general   description of the material features and an explanation of the relative   values of the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan that would   satisfy the notice requirements of Section 417 of the Code.      (ii) The Participant must be informed of his right to defer receipt of the   distribution and for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2007, the   consequences of failing to delay or defer payment.  If a Participant fails to   consent, it shall be deemed an election to defer the commencement of   payment of any benefit.  However, any election to defer the receipt of   benefits shall not apply with respect to distributions which are required   under subdivision (b).      (iii) Notice of the rights specified under this paragraph shall be provided no   less than 30 days and no more than 90 days before the “annuity starting   date”.      (iv) Written consent of the Participant to the distribution must not be made   before the Participant receives the notice and must not be made more than   90 days before the “annuity starting date”.      (v) No consent shall be valid if a significant detriment is imposed under the   Plan on any Participant who does not consent to the distribution.      6.7 Distribution Period.  The foregoing provisions of this Article VI notwithstanding:     

 

   RSP - Schedule 4 23      (a) A distribution with respect to a NIPA Eligible Participant which is not made in a   lump sum and which commences prior to the death of the Participant shall be   distributed      (1) over the life of such Participant,      (2) over the life of such Participant and the life of such Participant’s   Beneficiary,      (3) over the life expectancy of such Participant, or      (4) over the joint life expectancy of such Participant and such participant’s   Beneficiary,      provided, however, that if such Participant dies before his entire Accrued Benefit   is distributed, the remaining portion of such Accrued Benefit will be distributed at   least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect as of the date of such   Participant’s death.      (b) A distribution with respect to a Participant which is not made in a lump sum and   which commences after the death of such Participant shall be distributed within   five years after the death of such Participant, or within such later period permitted   under Section 401(a)(9)(B)(iii) of the Code and any applicable regulations.     

 

   RSP - Schedule 4 24      ARTICLE VII      THE INSURER      7.1 No Insurer shall be deemed a party to this agreement or to be in any way responsible for   its validity.  The obligations and responsibilities of the Insurer shall be measured and   determined solely by the terms of its Contracts and Policies.      7.2 The Insurer shall not be required to look into the terms of the agreement or question any   action of the Trustees, nor shall it be responsible to see that any action of the Trustees is   authorized.      7.3 The Insurer may conclusively assume that each Trustee has full authority, and is acting   within that authority, in any transaction concerning the Contracts and/or Policies, and   shall be fully discharged from any and all liability for any action taken in accordance   with the direction of the Trustees or any one of them.  In accepting applications for   Contracts and/or Policies, the Insurer has no responsibility for determining whether the   Employee is eligible or qualified for participation under the Plan.  In all transactions with   the Trustees the Insurer shall deal with them as though they were the sole and absolute   owners of the Policies and/or Contracts.      7.4 The Insurer shall be fully protected from any liability for any action taken prior to   receiving notice of any amendment or termination of this agreement and Trust or for   dealing with any prior Trustee or Trustees prior to receiving notice of the appointment of   a successor Trustee or Trustees.          23922509v1
