CARDINAL HEALTH 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
Cardinal Health, Inc., an Ohio corporation, hereby amends and restates in its entirety the Cardinal Health 401(k) Savings Plan, generally effective as of January 1, 2020, unless otherwise stated herein.  The Plan, originally adopted effective as of March 25, 1987 and formerly known as the Cardinal Health Profit Sharing, Retirement and Savings Plan, was previously restated as of July 1, 1998, January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006, January 1, 2011, and January 1, 2016.  
Effective April 10, 2007, the domestic entities of the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services business segment ("PTS") were sold by Cardinal Health as provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between Cardinal Health and Phoenix Charter LLC, dated January 25, 2007 and ceased to be Related Employers that maintain the Plan.  Plan participants who were employees of PTS ("Divested PTS Participants") accordingly ceased active participation in the Plan as of that date and became Former Participants entitled to a distribution from the Plan.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Plan was amended to designate the Cardinal Health common stock investment option as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  In connection with the spinoff of CareFusion Corporation ("CareFusion") effective August 31, 2009, CareFusion employees ceased to be Employees eligible to participate under the terms of the Plan.  Plan participants who were employees of CareFusion accordingly ceased active participation in the Plan as of that date and became Former Participants entitled to a distribution from the Plan.
The provisions of this amended and restated Plan shall apply solely to an Employee whose employment with the Employer terminates on or after the Effective Date, except as provided below.  An Employee whose employment with the Employer terminates prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to a benefit, if any, as determined under the provisions of the Plan or appropriate plans that merged into the Plan (the "Merging Plans") in effect on the date his employment terminated, except that such persons shall be subject to (i) the general administrative provisions of the Plan, including, for example, the claims procedure, participant direction of investments, direct rollover provisions, and statute of limitations, (ii) any provision of the Plan required by the Code, ERISA or other legislative or regulatory pronouncements to be effective prior to the Effective Date (and only to the extent so required), and (iii) any provisions of the Plan as otherwise provided herein.
The Employer intends that the Plan be in good faith compliance with the requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 ("PPA"), Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008 ("HEART Act"), Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 ("WRERA"), the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 ("SBJA"), and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (collectively the "Legislation") and is to be construed in accordance with the Legislation and guidance issued thereunder.  Unless otherwise specifically provided by the terms of the Plan, this document is effective with respect to each change made to satisfy the provisions of (i) the Legislation, (ii) any other change in the Code or ERISA, or (iii) regulations, rulings, or other published guidance issued under the Code or ERISA, with respect to any plan directly or indirectly merged (including a transfer of assets and liabilities from any plan in accordance with Code Section 414(l)) into the Plan as of the first day of the first period with respect to which such change became required because of such provision (including any day that became such as a result of an election or waiver and including for periods prior to the merger to the extent so required).  Accordingly, the Plan is also an amendment to any plan directly or indirectly merged into the Plan but only with respect to such compliance amendments and shall not be construed to expand the definition of "Eligible Employee," change contribution amounts, or otherwise change any substantive provision of any plan merged into the Plan that is not directly affected by a compliance amendment prior to the merger date.
The Employer intends that the Plan be qualified under Code Section 401(a), with a cash or deferred arrangement qualified under Code Section 401(k) and a trust exempt from taxation 
1

under Code Section 501(a).  Pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(27), the Employer intends that the Plan be a profit sharing plan.  In addition, pursuant to Code Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11), the Employer intends that the Plan be a safe harbor 401(k) plan, and that the Employer Common Stock Fund shall continue to be designated as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e).  In this amendment and restatement, the Employer intends to continue the maintenance of a safe harbor 401(k) plan, and provision for the Merging Plans previously maintained as separate plans, effective as of the dates specified in Schedule I to the Plan.

A.    Compensation.  Except as otherwise provided on Schedule IV to the Plan, the Employee's Compensation is determined pursuant to Treas. Reg. 1.415(c)-2(d)(2) as follows:  Compensation means the Employee's wages, salaries, fees for professional services and other amounts received (whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the Employer maintaining the Plan, to the extent that the amounts are includible in gross income (or to the extent amounts would have been received and includible in gross income but for an election under Code Section 125(a) (relating to a cafeteria plan), including any amounts not available to a participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the participant is unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage as provided in Revenue Ruling 2002-27, Code Section 132(f)(4) (relating to a qualified transportation fringe benefit plan), Code Section 402(e)(3) (relating to Code Sections 401(k) and 403(b) arrangements), Code Section 402(h)(1)(B) (relating to a simplified employee pension), Code Section 402(k) (relating to simple retirement accounts), or Section 457(b) (relating to eligible deferred compensation plans).  These amounts include, but are not limited to, commissions paid salespersons, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits, and reimbursements or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.62-2(c)).  In the case of an Employee who is an Employee within the meaning of Code Section 
3

401(c)(1) and Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 401(c)(1), Compensation means the Employee's earned income (as described in Code Section 401(c)(2) and Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 401(c)(2)), plus amounts that would have been received and includible in gross income but for an election under Code Section 125(a) (relating to a cafeteria plan), including any amounts not available to a participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the participant is unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage as provided in Revenue Ruling 2002-27, Code Section 132(f)(4) (relating to a qualified transportation fringe benefit plan), Code Section 402(e)(3) (relating to Code Sections 401(k) and 403(b) arrangements), Code Section 402(h)(1)(B) (relating to a simplified employee pension), Code Section 402(k) (relating to simple retirement accounts), or Code Section 457(b) (relating to eligible deferred compensation plans).
In addition, Compensation includes compensation paid by the Employer to an Employee through another person under the common paymaster provisions of Code Sections 3121(s) and 3306(p).  Compensation shall also include any differential wage payments (as defined in Code Section 3401(h)(2)) from the Employer, as required by Code Section 414(u)(12), as amended by the Heart Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Compensation" does not include the following:
(i)Employer contributions (other than elective contributions described in Code Section 402(e)(3) (relating to Code Sections 401(k) and 403(b) arrangements), Code Section 408(k)(6) (relating to a simplified employee pension), Code Section 408(p)(2)(A)(i) (relating to simple retirement accounts) or Code Section 457(b) (relating to eligible deferred compensation plans)) made by an Employer to a plan of deferred compensation (including a simplified employee pension described in Code Section 408(k) or a simple retirement account described in Code Section 408(p), and whether or not qualified) to the extent the contributions are not included in the gross income of the Employee for the taxable year in which contributed, and any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation (whether or not qualified), regardless of whether such amounts are includible in the gross income of the Employee when distributed.
(ii)Amounts realized from the exercise of a nonstatutory option (which is an option other than a statutory option as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(b)), or when restricted stock or other property held by an Employee either become freely transferable or are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
(iii)Amounts realized from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of stock acquired under a statutory stock option (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(b)).
(iv)Other amounts that receive special tax benefits such as premiums for group-term life insurance (but only to the extent that the premiums are not includible in the gross income of the Employee and are not salary reduction amounts that are described in Code Section 125).
(v)Other items of remuneration that are similar to any of the items listed in paragraphs (i) through (iv).
4

(vi)    Amounts described in Code Section 104(a)(3), 105(a), or 105(h), but only to the extent that these amounts are includible in the gross income of the Employee.
(vii)    Amounts paid or reimbursed by the Employer for moving expenses incurred by the Employee, but only to the extent that at the time of the payment it is reasonable to believe that these amounts are not deductible by the Employee under Code Section 217.
(viii)    The value of a nonstatutory option (which is an option other than a statutory option as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(b)) granted to the Employee by the Employer, but only to the extent that the value of the option is includible in the gross income of the Employee for the taxable year in which granted.
(ix)    The amount includible in the gross income of the Employee upon making the election described in Code Section 83(b).
(x)    Amounts that are includible in the gross income of the Employee under the rules of Code Section 409A or Section 457(f)(1)(A) or because the amounts are constructively received by the Employee.
(xi)    Amounts that are characterized as imputed income (including any gross-up payments thereon), tax equalization settlements, non-sufficient funds reimbursements, or expatriate additions to earnings adjustments (including any gross-up payments thereon) on the Company's payroll records. 

Any reference in this Plan to Compensation is a reference to the definition in this Section 1.08, unless the Plan reference specifies a modification to this definition.  The Plan Administrator will take into account only Compensation actually paid for the relevant period.
B.Compensation Limit.  In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the annual Compensation of each Employee taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed the "Compensation Limitation" under Code Section 401(a)(17) in effect for the applicable Determination Period as defined herein.  Effective January 1, 2020, the Compensation Limitation is $285,000, and is subject to cost of living adjustments in future years in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B) and applicable statutory changes.  Any such cost of living adjustment or statutory change in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding 12 months, over which Compensation is determined (the "Determination Period") beginning in such calendar year.  For example, since the Compensation Determination Period for Employer Contributions as provided in Section 3.03 begins on July 1, the Compensation Limitation in effect for the calendar year in which such July 1 occurs is used for the Employer Contributions made for that Compensation Determination Period.  If a Determination Period consists of fewer than 12 months, the Compensation Limitation will 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.  Any reference in this Plan to the limitation under Code Section 401(a)(17) shall mean the Compensation Limitation set forth in this provision; provided, however, that no proration is required merely because the amount of elective contributions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-6), matching contributions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-5) or employee contributions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-5) 
5

that is contributed for each pay period during a plan year is determined separately using compensation for that pay period.
C.    Post-Severance Compensation. Compensation must be paid or treated as paid to the Employee before the Employee's Severance from Employment with the Employer.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Compensation shall include Post-Severance Compensation paid by the later of: (i) two and one-half (21⁄2) months after Severance from Employment with the Employer; or (ii) the end of the Plan Year that includes the date of the Employee's Severance from Employment with the Employer.  "Post-Severance Compensation" means payments that would have been included in the definition of Compensation if they were paid prior to the Employee's Severance from Employment and the payments are regular Compensation for Services during the Employee's regular working hours, or Compensation for Services outside the Participant's regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, but only if the payments would have been paid to the Employee if the Employee had continued in employment with the Employer.  Any payments not described in the preceding sentence are not considered Post-Severance Compensation if paid after Severance from Employment, except for payments (i) 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)(1)) to the extent these payments 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; or (ii) to any Participant who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)) if the Participant is not a Highly Compensated Employee immediately before becoming disabled.
Section 1.09Compensation Deferral Account.  That portion of a Participant's Account credited with Compensation Deferral Contributions under Section 3.04(A) and Catch-Up Contributions under Section 3.04(B), and adjustments relating thereto.
Section 1.10Effective Date.  January 1, 2020, the date on which the provisions of this amended and restated Plan become effective, except as otherwise provided herein.  In addition, some provisions of Schedule IV to the Plan may be subject to a different Effective Date, as specified therein.
Section 1.11Eligible Employee.  Any Employee of a participating Employer other than (a) an Employee who may be excluded from participation pursuant to Code Section 410(b)(3) as a nonresident alien or as an Employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement recognized as such under applicable federal labor law and that does not expressly provide for participation in the Plan by Employees covered thereunder; (b) an Employee who is (i) a resident of Puerto Rico, (ii) working in Puerto Rico, (iii) paid through the payroll of a Puerto Rico location of the Company or a Related Employer, and (iv) eligible to participate in the Cardinal Health 401(k) Savings Plan for Employees of Puerto Rico; (c) an Employee of an Employer (including, but not limited to, Cardinal Health 109, Inc.) classified as a non-regular "PRN" or on-call Employee; or (d) an Employee who is a student or recent graduate hired on a short-term basis as an intern who is undergoing supervised practical training.  An Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan pursuant to the requirements of Article II.  An ineligible Employee who becomes an Eligible Employee shall immediately become a Participant in the Plan as provided in Section 2.05 and his Period of Service while in an ineligible position shall count as Service under the Plan.
6

Section 1.12Employee.  Any person who, on or after the Effective Date, is receiving remuneration for personal services rendered to the Employer (or any other employer required to be aggregated with the Employer under Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o)) as a common law employee (or who would be receiving such remuneration except for an authorized leave of absence).  The term shall not include any individual providing services to an Employer as a consultant, independent contractor or Leased Employee deemed to be an employee of any employer described in the previous sentence, as provided in Code Sections 414(n) and (o), nor any person employed by the Employer solely as a Director.  An individual excluded from participation by reason of independent contractor or Leased Employee status, if determined by the Company or in accordance with law to be a common law employee, shall be recharacterized as an Employee under the Plan as of the date of such determination, unless an earlier date is necessary to preserve the tax qualified status of the Plan.  Notwithstanding such general recharacterization, such person shall not be considered an Eligible Employee for purposes of Plan participation, except to the extent necessary to preserve the tax qualified status of the Plan.
An Employee also includes any individual in Qualified Military Service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)) who is receiving differential wage payments (as defined in Code Section 3401(h)(2)) from the Employer solely for the purposes of providing contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to Qualified Military Service, as applicable.

A Related Employer shall become a participating Employer in the Plan upon written action of the Related Employer, effective as of the date provided in such action.  For purposes of clarity, no foreign subsidiary is a Related Employer.  A Related Employer shall cease to be an Employer on the date such entity ceases to qualify as a Related Employer to the Company, unless the Related Employer continues to maintain the Plan with the consent of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, CareFusion and its subsidiaries ceased to be classified as Employers under the terms of the Plan, effective as of August 31, 2009, one day prior to the day that CareFusion and its subsidiaries ceased to be classified as Related Employers under the terms of the Plan.  Whenever the terms of this Plan authorize the Employer or the Company to take any action, such action shall be considered properly authorized if taken by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, any committee of the Board, or any other person to whom authority has been delegated by the foregoing.

A.at any time during the current Plan Year or the preceding Plan Year was a five percent owner of the Employer as defined in Code Section 416(i); or
B.for the preceding Plan Year:

(ii)was in the top 20% of Employees when ranked on the basis of Compensation for the preceding Plan Year.
Highly Compensated Employees include highly compensated former Employees.  A former Employee will be treated as a Highly Compensated Employee for a determination year if such Employee had a separation year (i.e., the year in which the Employee separated from Service or was deemed to have separated) prior to the determination year, and was a Highly Compensated Employee for either the separation year or any Plan Year ending on or after the Employee's 55th birthday, in accordance with the rules for determining Highly Compensated Employee status in effect for that determination year and in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations and IRS Notice 97-45.
For purposes of this Section, "Compensation" means Compensation as defined in Section 1.08; and Related Employers to the Employer shall be treated as a single employer with the Employer.  The determination of who is Highly Compensated shall be made in accordance with Code Section 414(q) and applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 1.19Income.  The net gain or loss of the Trust Fund from investments, as reflected by interest payments, dividends, realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities, other investment transactions and expenses paid from the Trust Fund.

Contributions or benefits provided to a Leased Employee by the Leasing Organization that are attributable to services performed for the Employer shall be treated as provided by the Employer.  If applicable, Compensation under Section 1.08 includes compensation from the Leasing Organization that is attributable to services performed for the Employer.
A Leased Employee shall not be considered an Employee of the Employer if (a) such employee is covered by a money purchase pension plan providing: (i) a nonintegrated employer contribution rate of at least ten percent of compensation, as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3), but including amounts contributed pursuant to a salary reduction agreement that are excludible from the employee's gross income under Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h) or 403(b), (ii) immediate participation, and (iii) full and immediate vesting; and (b) leased employees do not constitute more than 20% of the Employer's nonhighly compensated workforce.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an absence due to an "Authorized Leave of Absence" or Qualified Military Service in accordance with Code Section 414(u) shall not constitute an Absence from Service.
B.Authorized Leave of Absence.  An Authorized Leave of Absence shall mean:
(i)a leave of absence, with or without pay, granted by the Employer in writing under a uniform, nondiscriminatory policy applicable to all Employees; however, such absence shall constitute an Authorized Leave of Absence only to the extent that applicable federal laws and regulations permit service credit to be given for such leave of absence;
(ii)a leave of absence due to service in the uniformed services of the United States to the extent required by Code Section 414(u); or
(iii)a leave of absence authorized under the Family and Medical Leave Act, but only to the extent that such Act requires that service credit be given for such period.
C.Break in Service.  Each 12 consecutive months in the period commencing on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Employee quits, is discharged, retires or dies, or (ii) the first anniversary of the first day of any Absence from Service, and ending on the date the Employee is again credited with an Hour of Service for the performance of duties for the Employer.  If an Employee is on maternity or paternity leave, and the absence continues beyond the first anniversary of such absence, the Employee's Break in Service will commence no earlier than the second anniversary of such absence.  The period between the first and second anniversaries of the first date of a maternity or paternity leave is not part of either a Period of Service or a Break in Service.  The Plan Administrator shall consider 
10

an Employee on maternity or paternity leave if the Employee's absence is due to the Employee's pregnancy, the birth of the Employee's child, the placement with the Employee of an adopted child, or the care of the Employee's child immediately following the child's birth or placement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such maternity or paternity leave constitutes an Authorized Leave of Absence, such leave shall not be considered part of a Break in Service.

E.Hour of Service.  Hour of Service shall mean:
(i)Each Hour of Service for which the Employer, either directly or indirectly, pays an Employee, or for which the Employee is entitled to payment, for the performance of duties during the Plan Year.  The Plan Administrator shall credit Hours of Service under this Subsection (i) to the Employee for the Plan Year in which the Employee performs the duties, irrespective of when paid;
(ii)Each Hour of Service for back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, to which the Employer has agreed or for which the Employee has received an award.  The Plan Administrator shall credit Hours of Service under this Subsection (ii) to the Employee for the Plan Year(s) to which the award or the agreement pertains rather than for the Plan Year in which the award, agreement or payment is made; and
(iii)Each Hour of Service for which the Employer, either directly or indirectly, pays an Employee, or for which the Employee is entitled to payment (irrespective of whether the employment relationship is terminated), for reasons other than for the performance of duties during a Plan Year, such as leave of absence, vacation, holiday, sick leave, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty or military duty. 
The Plan Administrator shall not credit more than 501 Hours of Service under this Subsection (iii) to an Employee on account of any single continuous period during which the Employee does not perform any duties (whether or not such period occurs during a single Plan Year).  The Plan Administrator shall credit Hours of Service under this Subsection (iii) in accordance with the rules of paragraphs (b) and (c) of Labor Reg.  Section 2530.200b-2, which the Plan by this reference specifically incorporates in full within this Subsection (iii).
The Plan Administrator shall not credit an Hour of Service under more than one of the above Subsections.  Furthermore, if the Plan Administrator is to credit Hours of Service to an Employee for the 12-month period beginning with the Employee's Employment Commencement Date or with an anniversary of such date, then the 12-month period shall be substituted for the term "Plan Year" wherever the latter term appears in this Section.
Hours of Service will be credited for employment with other members of an affiliated service group (under Code Section 414(m)), a controlled group of corporations (under Code Section 414(b)), or a group of trades or businesses under common control (under Code Section 414(c)) of which the adopting Employer is a member, and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to Code Section 414(o) and the regulations thereunder.  Hours 
11

of Service will also be credited for any individual considered an Employee for purposes of this Plan under Code Section 414(n) or Code Section 414(o) and the regulations thereunder.
F.Period of Service.  The period of Service commencing on an Employee's Employment Commencement Date or Re-employment Commencement Date, whichever is applicable, and ending on the Employee's Severance from Service Date.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, a Period of Service will include (i) any Period of Severance resulting from a quit, discharge, or retirement if within 12 months of his Severance from Service Date, the Employee is credited with an Hour of Service for the performance of duties for the Employer, (ii) any Period of Severance if the Employee quits, is discharged, or retires during an Absence from Service of less than 12 months and is then credited with an Hour of Service within 12 months of the date on which the Absence from Service began, and (iii) any other period of Service as defined in Section 1.36(I) below.
G.Period of Severance.  The period commencing on any Severance from Service Date and ending on the date an Employee is again credited with an Hour of Service for the performance of duties for the Employer.
H.Re-employment Commencement Date.  The date upon which an Employee first performs an Hour of Service for the Employer following a Break in Service.
I.Service.  Any period of time the Employee is in the employ of the Employer, whether before or after adoption of the Plan, determined in accordance with rules and procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.  An Employee's period of Service while employed in a position that is not as an Eligible Employee shall nevertheless count as Service under the Plan for eligibility and vesting if such Employee becomes an Eligible Employee without having incurred a Break in Service.  For purposes of counting an Employee's Service, the Plan shall treat an Employee's Service with employers who are part of a group of Related Employers of which the Employer is a member as Service with the Employer for the period during which the employers are Related Employers.  Service for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting may also be granted for an Employee's Period of Service prior to the date his employer became a Related Employer if (1) such employer became a Related Employer through a stock transaction with Cardinal Health, and (2) such Service is granted in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder.  For all Plan purposes, the Plan shall treat the following periods as Service:
(i)any Authorized Leave of Absence, subject to the service crediting limitations set forth in Section 1.36(B);
(ii)any Qualified Military Service in accordance with Code Section 414(u); and
(iii)any other absence during which the Participant continues to receive his regular Compensation.
Service also includes any period of time during which any individual in Qualified Military Service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)) receives differential wage payments (as defined in Code Section 3401(h)(2)) from the Employer solely for purposes of providing contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to Qualified Military Service, as applicable.
12

J.Severance from Employment.  A separation from Service with the Employer maintaining this Plan and any Related Employers such that the Employee no longer has an employment relationship with the Employer or any Related Employers that maintain the Plan.  In addition, a Severance from Employment shall be deemed to occur with respect to the Employees of a Related Employer effective as of the date such Related Employer ceases to qualify as a Related Employer to the Company, unless such employer continues to maintain the Plan with the consent of the Company.  This distributable event shall apply for distributions on and after January 1, 2002 regardless of when the Severance from Employment occurred.
K.Severance from Service Date.  The earlier of (i) the date on which an Employee quits, is discharged, retires, or dies, or (ii) the first anniversary of the first date of any Absence from Service.
L.Year of Service.  Each one-year Period of Service.

ARTICLE II
ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
Section 2.01    ELIGIBILITY.  Each Eligible Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant in the Plan upon becoming an Eligible Employee (which, generally, is date of hire).
Section 2.02    PARTICIPATION UPON RE-EMPLOYMENT.  An Eligible Employee who was a Participant shall again become a Participant on the date he is re-employed by the Employer as an Eligible Employee.
Section 2.03    ENROLLMENT.  As soon as administratively practicable, the Plan Administrator shall notify each Employee who is eligible to open a Compensation Deferral Account and provide enrollment materials to the Employee.  Each Eligible Employee may enroll as a Participant in the Compensation Deferral portion of the Plan at any time and as soon as administratively practicable on or after his date of hire, by properly completing the enrollment procedures established at the time by the Plan Administrator, or by following such other procedures as the Plan Administrator may implement.  The Plan Administrator may establish rules and procedures governing the time and manner in which enrollments shall be processed.
Section 2.04    TRANSFERS BETWEEN PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS.  For eligibility purposes, a Participant who transfers employment from one participating Employer to another participating Employer shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Plan if the Participant has previously met the requirements of Section 2.01.  In accordance with the Plan and the Code, an Employee who is an Eligible Employee shall continue to be an Eligible Employee following a transfer between participating Employers as if the Eligible Employee had performed all Service during the Plan Year for the participating Employer to which the Eligible Employee is transferred.
Section 2.05    TRANSFERS BETWEEN CLASSES OF EMPLOYEES.  For purposes of eligibility, in the case of an Employee who transfers from a class of Employees whose employment status is ineligible for participation in the Plan (e.g., On-demand and non-regular PRN employees) to an eligible class of employment, such Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate in the Plan upon becoming an Eligible Employee.  In the case of an Eligible Employee who transfers to an ineligible employment status, such Employee shall cease to be an Eligible Employee under this Plan but shall remain a Former Participant under the Plan until such time as participation is terminated, and Service earned while employed in an ineligible classification shall continue to count for vesting purposes.
16

ARTICLE III
CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 3.01    INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS.  An Account shall be maintained for each Participant and Former Participant having an amount to his credit in the Trust Fund in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.  Each Account may be divided into separate subaccounts as applicable, including but not limited to the following subaccounts as directed by the Plan Administrator: "Compensation Deferral Contributions" (including Catch-Up Contributions, if any), "Roth Contributions" (including Roth Catch-Up Contributions, if any), "Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contributions," "Safe Harbor Matching Contributions," "Employer Contributions," "Special Contributions," "Rollover Contributions," "Roth Rollover Contributions," "Transfer Contributions," "Qualified Non-elective Contributions," "Qualified Matching Contributions," and any other types of contributions under the Plan, including any identified in Schedule IV hereto.  Furthermore, if a Participant re-enters the Plan subsequent to a "Forfeiture Break in Service" (as defined in Section 4.02), separate Accounts shall be maintained for the Participant's pre-Forfeiture Break in Service Account and post-Forfeiture Break in Service Account, unless the Participant's entire Account under the Plan is 100% Nonforfeitable.  Allocations shall be made to the Accounts of the Participants in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07.  The Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to maintain a temporary segregated investment Account in the name of a Participant to prevent a distortion of income, gain, or loss allocations under Section 9.07.  The Plan Administrator shall ensure that records are maintained for all Account allocations and related recordkeeping activities.
Section 3.02    DISCRETIONARY CONTRIBUTIONS.  For each Plan Year, an Employer may make contributions to the Trust in such amounts as are determined in the discretion of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee, entity, or person authorized by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board for such purpose.  Such discretionary contributions will be in the form of "Employer Contributions" and/or "Special Contributions," as described in Section 3.03.  The amount contributed for any Plan Year may vary and may be zero for any given Plan Year.  An Employer shall not make a contribution to the Trust for any taxable year to the extent the contribution would exceed the maximum deduction limitations under Code Section 404 for such taxable year.  All contributions are conditioned on their deductibility under the Code.
Section 3.03    EMPLOYER AND SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION ALLOCATION AND ACCRUAL OF BENEFIT.
A.Method of Allocation.
(i)Employer Contributions.  Subject to Article X and any restoration allocation required under Section 4.05, a percentage or portion of the annual discretionary Employer Contribution made pursuant to Section 3.02 shall be allocated and credited to the Account of each Participant, in the group of Participants for whom the Employer Contribution was made, who satisfies the conditions of Section 3.03(B), as follows:
Step One:  Any Employer Contributions made for the Plan Year will be allocated among each eligible Participant's Account, in the group of Participants for whom the Employer Contribution was made, in the ratio that each eligible Participant's total Compensation and Excess Compensation (as hereinafter defined) for the Compensation Determination Period (as hereinafter defined) bears to the sum of all such Participants' total Compensation and Excess Compensation for the Compensation Determination Period.  However, if the amount allocated to 
17

Participants' Accounts under this Step One, as a percentage of the sum of their total Compensation and Excess Compensation, exceeds 5.7%, (or the percentage equal to the old-age insurance portion of the tax rate under Code Section 3111(a) in effect for the Plan Year, if greater), then the amount of contributions allocated under this Step One shall be reduced to an amount that results in an allocation, as a percentage of the sum of each Participant's total Compensation and Excess Compensation for the Plan Year, of no more than 5.7% (or the percentage equal to the old-age insurance portion of the tax rate under Code Section 3111(a) in effect for the Plan Year, if greater).
Step Two: Any Employer Contributions remaining after the allocation in Step One will be allocated among each eligible Participant's Account, in the group of Participants for whom the Employer Contribution was made, in the ratio that each such Participant's Compensation for the Compensation Determination Period bears to the total Compensation of all such Participants for that Compensation Determination Period.
For purposes of this Section, "Excess Compensation" means Compensation in excess of the taxable wage base, as determined under Section 230 of the Social Security Act, in effect on the first day of the Plan Year, and "Compensation Determination Period" means the payroll periods ending within the twelve month period that corresponds to the fiscal year of the Company (currently, July 1 through June 30) ending within the Plan Year for which an Employer Contribution or Special Contribution is made.  Compensation for the Compensation Determination Period is subject to the Compensation Limitation in effect for the calendar year in which the Compensation Determination Period begins.
(ii)Special Contributions.  As an alternative or in addition to making Employer Contributions and allocating them in the manner described above, and subject to Article X and any restoration allocation described in Section 4.05, a Special Contribution may be made pursuant to Section 3.02 and, if made, a percentage or portion thereof shall be allocated and credited to the Account of each Participant, in the group of Participants for whom the Employer Contribution was made, who satisfies the conditions of Section 3.03(B).  Special Contributions, if any, shall be allocated among the Accounts of the group of eligible Participants for whom the contribution was made in the ratio that each such Participant's Compensation bears to the total Compensation of all such Participants for the Compensation Determination Period.
B.Accrual of Benefit.  The Plan Administrator shall determine the accrual of a Participant's portion of any Employer Contribution or Special Contribution based on the Compensation Determination Period.  In allocating an Employer Contribution or a Special Contribution to a Participant's Account, the Plan Administrator, subject to Section 10.01, shall take into account only Compensation paid to the Employee during the portion of the Compensation Determination Period during which the Employee was a Participant.  In addition, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive an allocation of an Employer Contribution or a Special Contribution for a Plan Year unless the Participant was an Employee on the last day of the Compensation Determination Period ending within that Plan Year.  The requirement to be employed on the last day of the Compensation Determination Period shall not apply to any Participant who 
18

terminated employment during the Compensation Determination Period (1) as a result of death or Total Disability, or (2) after attaining either (a) Normal Retirement Age, (b) age 55 and at least 10 years of continuous Service as defined in Section 1.36, or (c) age 60 and at least 5 years of continuous Service as defined in Section 1.36; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any Participant whose employment was terminated for cause during such Compensation Determination Period.  In addition, if necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 410(b), the Plan shall suspend the accrual requirement described herein for the number of Non-highly Compensated Employees, beginning with the least highly compensated Non-highly Compensated Employee, necessary to meet such requirements.  Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, an Employer or Special Contribution shall not be allocated to a Participant's Account to the extent the contribution would exceed the Participant's "Maximum Permissible Amount" as described in Schedule III for the Plan Year in which the contribution is made.  For purposes of this Section 3.03, a Participant who dies or becomes Totally Disabled while performing Qualified Military Service (within the meaning of Code Section 414(u)) shall be treated as if he died or became Totally Disabled while actively employed.
Section 3.04    PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS.
A.Compensation Deferral Contributions.
(i)Contribution Limits.  For any Plan Year, each Participant may have allocated to his Account an amount of his Compensation for such Plan Year, which amount shall be a whole percentage or other fixed amount, rounded to the nearest dollar, of not less than one percent but not more than the lesser of $19,500 (for 2020) and thereafter as adjusted in accordance with Code Section 402(g)(4)) or 50% of his Compensation for such Plan Year.  Such amount shall be known as the Participant's "Compensation Deferral Contribution."
B.Catch-Up Contributions.  For any Plan Year, each Participant who has or will attain at least age 50 by the end of such Plan Year, and with respect to whom no other elective deferrals may otherwise be made for the Plan Year by reason of the application of the limits contained in Section 3.04(A) of the Plan or the limitations contained in Code Sections 401(a)(30), 402(h), 403(b), 408, 415(c) and 457(b)(2) (determined without regard to Code Section 457(b)(3)), may defer an additional amount of his Compensation for such Plan Year, which amount shall not exceed $6,500 in 2020 (or adjusted as prescribed in Code Section 414(v)).  Such amount shall be known as the Participant's "Catch-Up Contributions".  Such Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of Code Sections 402(g) and 415.
C.Automatic Contribution Arrangement.
(i)In General.  An Employer may elect to implement an "Automatic Contribution Arrangement" with respect to a group of Employees in accordance with rules or procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.  An "Automatic Contribution Arrangement" is an arrangement under which, in the absence of an affirmative election by a Covered Employee, a certain percentage of Compensation will be withheld from the Covered Employee's Compensation and contributed to the Plan as a Compensation Deferral Contribution.
19

(ii)Covered Employee.  A Covered Employee for purposes of this Section 3.04(C) is the following:
a.An Eligible Employee who is first hired (or re-hired) by the applicable Employer on or after the effective date of the Employer's adoption of an Automatic Contribution Arrangement described in this provision with respect to the Eligible Employee's Employer or work location and who has not made an affirmative election to make (or not to make) Compensation Deferral Contributions under the Plan at the time he becomes a Participant; and
b.An Eligible Employee who is first hired (or re-hired) by the Employer prior to the effective date of the Employer's adoption of an Automatic Contribution Arrangement described in this provision and who has not made an affirmative election to make (or not to make) Compensation Deferral Contributions under the Plan as of the day before the effective date of the Employer's adoption of the Automatic Contribution Arrangement by that Eligible Employee's Employer or for his work location (or, if later, the date the Eligible Employee becomes a Participant).
An Employer may elect to include additional Eligible Employees as Covered Employees for purposes of this Section 3.04(C).  An Employer may also elect to exclude the Eligible Employees in (b), above, from being Covered Employees.  An individual will cease to be a Covered Employee if he makes an affirmative election regarding Compensation Deferral Contributions (including an affirmative election to make no Compensation Deferral Contributions) in accordance with this Section 3.04.
(iii)Amount and Timing of Automatic Compensation Deferral Contributions.  A Covered Employee shall automatically begin making Compensation Deferral Contributions to the Plan as soon as administratively practicable following the later of (a) the date he becomes a Participant, or (b) the date the Employer adopts the Automatic Contribution Arrangement with respect to that Eligible Employee's work location (the "Automatic Enrollment Date").  Subject to the limits set forth in this Section 3.04 and Schedule III, a Covered Employee will be deemed to have elected to make Compensation Deferral Contributions equal to 3% of his Compensation for each payroll period commencing on and after the Automatic Enrollment Date during which he is a Participant.  Automatic Compensation Deferral Contributions will be reduced or stopped to the extent necessary to satisfy the limitations under Code Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g), and 415.  Compensation Deferral Contributions made pursuant to this Section 3.04(C) shall be treated as Compensation Deferral Contributions made pursuant to Section 3.04(A) for all purposes under the Plan.  A Participant's automatic Compensation Deferral Contributions will cease as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant makes an affirmative election regarding Compensation Deferral Contributions (including an affirmative election to make no Compensation Deferral Contributions) in accordance with this Section 3.04 or, if earlier, when the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee of the Employer.
20

(iv)Recommencement of Automatic Compensation Deferral Contributions.  If a Participant is making Compensation Deferral Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.04(C) and the Participant's Contributions are suspended due to an Authorized Leave of Absence, the Participant will recommence making automatic Compensation Deferral Contributions to the Plan in the amount set forth in Section 3.04(C)(iii) beginning with the first payroll period following the end of the Authorized Leave of Absence, unless he affirmatively elects otherwise in accordance with Section 3.04(A) prior to such date.
(v)Notice.  As soon as practicable (but not earlier than 90 days before an Employee becomes a Covered Employee and not later than the first pay date for which the Covered Employee is permitted to make a Compensation Deferral Contribution election), and within a reasonable period of time (generally at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days) before the beginning of each Plan Year thereafter, the Plan Administrator will provide each Covered Employee a notice of the Covered Employee's rights and obligations under the Automatic Contribution Arrangement described in this Section 3.04(C), written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average Covered Employee.  The notice will accurately describe:
a.The default Compensation Deferral Contribution percentage that will be made on the Covered Employee's behalf in the absence of an affirmative election;
b.The Covered Employee's right to elect to make no Compensation Deferral Contributions or to make Compensation Deferral Contributions in an amount that is different than the default Compensation Deferral Contribution percentage; and
c.How default Compensation Deferral Contributions will be invested in the absence of the Covered Employee's investment instructions.
The content of the notice and procedures related to the implementation of the Automatic Contribution Arrangement shall be consistent with applicable Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service.
A Covered Employee will have a reasonable opportunity after receipt of the notice described in this Section 3.04(C)(v) to make an affirmative election regarding Compensation Deferral Contributions (either to make no Compensation Deferral Contributions or to make Compensation Deferral Contributions in an amount other than the default percentage specified in Section 3.04(C)(iii)) before default Compensation Deferral Contributions are made on the Covered Employee's behalf.
(vi)Applicability of Other Plan Provisions.  Compensation Deferral Contributions made pursuant to this Section 3.04(C) shall be treated as Compensation Deferral Contributions made pursuant to Section 3.04(A) for all purposes under the Plan.
21

Section 3.05    ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS.
A.Definitions.  For all purposes under the Plan, "Roth Contributions" and "Roth Catch-Up Contributions" mean a Compensation Deferral Contribution and Catch-Up Contribution, respectively, that are made from Compensation by a Participant in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Code Section 402A and the relevant Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, and which are:
(i)designated irrevocably by the Participant as a Roth Contribution or Roth Catch-Up Contribution that is being made in lieu of all or a portion of any Compensation Deferral Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions the Participant is otherwise eligible to make under the Plan; and
(ii)treated by the Employer as includible in the Participant's taxable income for the taxable year in which the Participant would have received that amount in cash if the Participant had not made such Roth Contribution election.
B.In General.  Effective January 1, 2012, the Plan will accept Roth Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions made on behalf of a Participant.  Roth Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions shall be subject to the same rules and limits as Compensation Deferral Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions, respectively, under the Plan, including but not limited to the same Employer Matching Contribution allocations and requirements, unless specifically stated otherwise herein.
C.Separate Accounting.  Contributions and withdrawals of Roth Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions shall be credited and debited to a separate "Roth Account" maintained for each Participant in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Plan.  The Plan shall maintain a record of the amount of Roth Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions in each Participant's Roth Account.  Gains, losses and other credits or charges will be separately allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each Participant's Roth Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions within the Roth Account and the Participant's other Accounts under the Plan.
D.Rollovers.  A Participant may also make a rollover contribution to his Roth Account in accordance with Section 3.13 of the Plan (a "Roth Rollover").  No contributions other than Roth Contributions, Roth Catch-Up Contributions, Roth Rollover contributions and properly attributable earnings will be credited to each Participant's Roth Account.
Section 3.06    CHANGES AND SUSPENSIONS OF COMPENSATION DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS, ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS, CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS AND ROTH CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS.  A Participant may change the rate of Compensation Deferral Contributions, Roth Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions, and/or Roth Catch-Up Contributions to his Account at any time during each Plan Year, effective for the first payroll period for which it is administratively feasible to change the rate of such Participant's Compensation Deferral Contributions, Roth Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions, and/or Catch-Up Contributions, by communicating such rate change in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator regarding the timing and manner of making such elections.  In addition, a Participant may at any time elect to suspend all contributions to his Account by giving advance notice in any manner specified by the Plan Administrator in accordance with its rules and procedures.  An election to recommence contributions shall be effective for the first payroll 
22

period in which it is administratively feasible to begin deferral withholdings.  All suspensions and recommencements of Compensation Deferral Contributions, Roth Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions, and/or Roth Catch-Up Contributions shall be made in the manner and at the times specified in rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, which rules and procedures may be changed from time to time.
Section 3.07    MATCHING AND QUALIFIED MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS.
A.In General.  For each Plan Year, the Employer may contribute to each eligible Participant's Account a "Matching Contribution" in an amount determined by the Employer from time to time in its discretion.  The amount or rate of the Matching Contribution shall be announced to Participants and other Eligible Employees, and suspended or changed on a prospective basis only.  The Employer shall not make a Matching Contribution to the Trust for any Participant to the extent that the contribution would exceed the Participant's "Maximum Permissible Amount" as described in Schedule III or violate the limitations on discretionary Matching Contributions of Section 3.07(B) below.
B.Safe Harbor Matching Contributions.
(i)Amount.  Matching Contributions sufficient to meet the "safe harbor" requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12) shall be made to each eligible Participant's Account and shall be referred to as "Safe Harbor Matching Contributions."  Specifically, on and after January 1, 2020, the Employer shall match 200% of each Participant's Compensation Deferral Contributions that do not exceed 1% of the Participant's Compensation, 100% of each Participant's Compensation Deferral Contributions that exceed 1% of the Participant's Compensation but that do not exceed 3% of the Participant's Compensation, and 50% of each Participant's Compensation Deferral Contributions that exceed 3% of the Participant's Compensation but that do not exceed 5% of the Participant's Compensation.  In addition, Safe Harbor Matching Contributions may not be made in an amount that would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(11).  The limitation on Matching Contributions on behalf of a Participant requires that Matching Contributions not be made on Compensation Deferral Contributions in excess of six percent (6%) of the Participant's Compensation and that Matching Contributions that are discretionary not exceed four percent (4%) of Compensation.  This limitation shall be observed only to the extent required by law to meet the requirements for the safe harbors under Code Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11).
(ii)Notice Requirements.  Within a reasonable period before the beginning of the Plan Year (generally at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days), the Employer will provide each Eligible Employee a notice in compliance with the notice requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-3(d).  In the case of an Eligible Employee who does not receive the notice prior to the beginning of the Plan Year because the Employee becomes eligible after the notice has been provided for that Plan Year, such Eligible Employee shall be provided the notice no more than a reasonable period (generally 90 days) before the Employee becomes eligible and no later than the date the Employee becomes eligible, or, if not practicable to be provided by that date, as soon as practicable thereafter.
23

(iii)Election Periods.  In addition to any other election periods provided under the Plan, each Eligible Employee may make or modify a Compensation Deferral Contribution election during the 30-day period immediately following the receipt of the notice described in Subsection (ii) above.
C.Qualified Matching Contributions.  If the Employer so elects, the Employer may also make Matching Contributions to the Plan that are "Qualified Matching Contributions."  Qualified Matching Contributions shall mean Matching Contributions that are at all times Nonforfeitable and subject to the distribution requirements of Code Section 401(k) when allocated to Participants' Accounts.  Additional contributions subject to these rules may be made by the Employer, or some or all of the existing Matching Contributions can be designated as fully vested and subject to the distribution restrictions, in order to satisfy these rules.
D.Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contributions.  Matching Contributions made before January 1, 2005, and Matching Contributions made after such date in excess of Safe Harbor Matching Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions, if any, are referred to herein as "Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contributions."
Section 3.08    MATCHING CONTRIBUTION ALLOCATION AND ACCRUAL OF BENEFIT.  Only Participants who have made Compensation Deferral Contributions during the Plan Year shall be eligible to share in the allocation of the Matching Contribution as set forth in Section 3.07.  Catch-Up Contributions under this Plan shall not be eligible for Matching Contributions unless the Participant is a Non-Highly Compensated Employee and such contributions must be matched to achieve the required level of Safe Harbor Matching Contributions.  In all cases, the allocation of Matching Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions shall be based on the amount or rate established in advance for such contributions relative to the Compensation Deferral Contributions being matched.  Although Matching Contributions may be contributed periodically throughout the Plan Year, the allocation applicable to any Participant shall be adjusted, at such times and in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, as necessary to attain the appropriate allocation rate for the Plan Year as a whole.  
Matching Contributions that are designated as Safe Harbor Matching Contributions shall be 100% vested at all times.  Other Matching Contributions shall become Nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 4.01 of the Plan.  In any event, Matching Contributions shall be fully vested and Nonforfeitable at Normal Retirement Age, upon the complete or partial termination of the Plan, or upon the complete discontinuance of Employer contributions.  Forfeitures of Matching Contributions, other than Excess Aggregate Contributions, shall be made in accordance with Section 4.03 of the Plan.  In addition, for purposes of this Section 3.08, a Participant who dies or becomes Totally Disabled on or after January 1, 2010, while performing Qualified Military Service (within the meaning of Code Section 414(u)) shall be treated as if he died or became Totally Disabled while actively employed.
Section 3.09    VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEE NONDEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS.  Participants shall not be permitted to make voluntary employee nondeductible contributions.
Section 3.10    QUALIFIED NON-ELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS.  If it so elects, the Employer may make "Qualified Non-elective Contributions" under the Plan on behalf of all Participants or all Participants who are Non-highly Compensated Employees in order to satisfy either the Actual Deferral Percentage test or the Actual Contribution Percentage test.  For purposes of this Article III, Qualified Non-elective Contributions shall mean contributions (other than Matching Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions) made by the Employer and allocated to Participants' Accounts that the Participants may not elect to receive in cash until 
24

distributed from the Plan; that are Nonforfeitable when allocated to such Participants' Accounts; and that are distributable only in accordance with the distribution provisions that are applicable to Compensation Deferral Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions.  Qualified Non-elective Contributions shall be allocated to Participants' Accounts in the same proportion that each Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year for which the Employer makes the contribution bears to the total Compensation of all Participants for the Plan Year (or of all Non-highly Compensated Participants, as applicable).
Section 3.11TIME OF PAYMENT OF CONTRIBUTION.  The Employer may pay its contribution for each Plan Year in one or more installments of cash without interest.  The Employer must make its contribution that Participants have elected to defer under Section 3.04 and/or Section 3.05 as soon as such amounts may reasonably be segregated from the Employer's general assets, but in no event later than 15 business days after the end of the calendar month in which such amounts were withheld from the Participant's Compensation, or such later time as may be permitted by regulations under ERISA and Code Section 401(k).  The Employer must make the balance, if any, of its contribution to the Trustee within the time prescribed (including extensions) for filing its tax return for the taxable year for which it claims a deduction for its contribution, in accordance with Code Section 404(a)(6).
Section 3.12ALLOCATION OF FORFEITURES.  Subject to any restoration allocation required under Section 4.05, the Plan Administrator shall allocate and use the amount of a Participant's benefit forfeited under the Plan to reduce the Employer Contributions, Special Contributions, Matching Contributions and/or other contributions payable under the Plan, for the Plan Year in which the forfeiture occurs or any prior or future Plan Year or, to the extent forfeitures remain after such reduction(s), to pay reasonable expenses of the Plan (to the extent not paid by the Employer).
Section 3.13ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS.  The Trustee is authorized to accept a "rollover" on behalf of an Employee, and hold as part of the Trust Fund, assets from (A) another plan qualified under Code Sections 401(a), 403(a), 403(b) or 457(b), including after-tax contributions or (B) an individual retirement account, provided that such rollover satisfies such rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, including rules designed to assure the Plan Administrator that the funds so contributed qualify as a Rollover Contribution under the Code.  Subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, such rollover amounts may also include any outstanding participant loans from another plan qualified under either Code Section 401(a) or 403(a) rolled over to the Plan in kind, provided such other qualified plan permits rollover of loans in kind.  All amounts so transferred to the Trust Fund shall be held in segregated subaccounts and shall be referred to as "Rollover Contributions".  Effective January 1, 2012, direct rollovers from a Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code Section 402A(e)(1) to the extent permitted by Code Section 402(c) ("Roth Rollover Contributions") may be rolled over to the Plan.
Section 3.14RETURN OF CONTRIBUTIONS.   All contributions to the Plan are conditioned upon their deductibility under the Code.  The Trustee, upon written request from the Employer, shall return to the Employer any amount contributed by the Employer by mistake of fact or disallowed as a deduction under Code Section 404.  The Trustee shall not return any contributions under this provision more than one year after:
A.The Employer made the contribution by mistake of fact; or
B.The disallowance of the contribution as a deduction, and then, only to the extent of the disallowance.
25

The Trustee shall not increase the amount of the Employer contribution returnable under this Section 3.14 for any earnings attributable to the contribution, but the Trustee shall decrease the Employer contribution returnable for any losses attributable to it.  The Trustee may require the Employer to furnish it whatever evidence the Trustee deems necessary to enable the Trustee to confirm the amount the Employer has requested be returned is properly returnable under ERISA. 
Section 3.15FURTHER REDUCTIONS OF CONTRIBUTIONS.  In addition to the reductions and recharacterizations provided for under Schedule III, in any Plan Year in which the Plan Administrator deems it necessary to do so to meet the requirements of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the Plan Administrator may further reduce the amount of Compensation Deferral Contributions and/or Roth Contributions that may be made to a Participant's Account, or refund such amounts previously contributed.
26

ARTICLE IV
TERMINATION OF SERVICE; PARTICIPANT VESTING
Section 4.01    VESTING.
A.Vesting — In General.  A Participant's interest in his Compensation Deferral Account, Catch-Up Account, Safe Harbor Matching Account, Roth Account, Rollover Account, Transfer Account, and his Qualified Matching Contribution Account or Qualified Non-elective Contribution Account, if any, shall at all times be fully vested and Nonforfeitable.  A Participant's interest in his Employer Contribution Account, Special Contribution Account and Non-Safe Harbor Matching Account shall be fully vested and Nonforfeitable upon and after his attaining Normal Retirement Age (if employed by the Employer on or after that date), or if his employment terminates as a result of death or Total Disability.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(B) or Schedule IV, if a Participant's employment terminates prior to Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than death or Total Disability, then the Nonforfeitable percentage of his Employer Contribution Account, Special Contribution Account and Non-Safe Harbor Matching Account (forfeiting the balance) shall be determined as follows:
						
	Years of Service	Percent Nonforfeitable
		
	Less than three (3)	0%

	At least three (3) or more	100%

Effective January 1, 2007, for purposes of this Section 4.01, a Participant who dies or becomes Totally Disabled while performing Qualified Military Service (within the meaning of Code Section 414(u)) shall be treated as if he died or became Totally Disabled while actively employed.
B.Non-Highly Compensated Employees Subject to Job Elimination.  A Non-highly Compensated Employee who has completed one full year of Service but less than three years of Service and is terminated from employment under the terms of a designated reduction in force, a divestiture or designated layoff, shall be vested in accordance with this paragraph instead of the vesting percentage provided in Section 4.01(A) above.  The Participant's vested Account balance shall be calculated by multiplying the portion of his Account balance that is subject to the vesting provisions of Section 4.01 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant's calendar months of Service calculated from his date of hire and the denominator of which is 36, and by rounding the product up to the next whole percentage.  A month of Service shall be included in the calculation of vesting service under this Section 4.01(B) if the Participant has performed at least one Hour of Service during the calendar month.  In no event shall a Participant be more than 100% vested in any amounts in his Account.
Section 4.02    INCLUDED YEARS OF SERVICE – VESTING.  For purposes of determining Years of Service under Section 4.01, the Plan shall take into account all Years of Service an Employee completes except any Year of Service after the Participant first incurs a "Forfeiture Break in Service."  The Participant incurs a Forfeiture Break in Service when he incurs five consecutive Breaks in Service.  This exception excluding Years of Service after a Forfeiture Break in Service shall apply for the sole purpose of determining the nonforfeitable percentage of a Participant's Employer Contribution Account, Special Contribution Account, and 
27

Non-Safe Harbor Matching Account that accrued for his benefit prior to the Forfeiture Break in Service.  Service performed by an Employee prior to the date he became an Eligible Employee shall also count as Service for vesting purposes provided the Employee did not have a Break in Service prior to becoming an Eligible Employee.  If an Employee incurred a Break in Service prior to becoming an Eligible Employee, only Service performed as an Employee after such Break in Service shall be counted.
Section 4.03    FORFEITURE OCCURS.  A Participant's forfeiture, if any, of his Employer Contribution Account, Special Contribution Account, and Non-Safe Harbor Matching Account, if any, shall occur under the Plan:
A.As soon as administratively practicable after the Participant first incurs a Forfeiture Break in Service, or, if earlier and if applicable,
B.On the date the Participant receives (or is deemed to receive) a "Cash-out Distribution" in accordance with Section 4.04.
The Plan Administrator shall determine the percentage of Participant's Employer Contribution Account, Special Contribution Account, and Non-Safe Harbor Matching Account forfeiture, if any, under this Section 4.03 solely by reference to the vesting schedule of Section 4.01 or as provided in Schedule IV, if applicable.  A Participant shall not forfeit any portion of his Employer Contribution Account, Special Contribution Account or Non-Safe Harbor Matching Account for any other reason or cause except as expressly provided by this Section 4.03 or as otherwise permitted by law.
Section 4.04    CASH-OUT DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTIALLY-VESTED PARTICIPANTS.  If, pursuant to Article V, a partially-vested Participant receives a Cash-out Distribution before he incurs a Forfeiture Break in Service, the Cash-out Distribution will result in an immediate forfeiture of the nonvested portion of the Participant's Account balance. A partially-vested Participant is a Participant whose Nonforfeitable Percentage determined under Section 4.01 is less than 100%.  A "Cash-out Distribution" is a distribution of the entire present value of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance following such Participant's Severance from Employment.
If a Participant's Account does not include any nonforfeitable amounts at the time of his Severance from Employment, the Plan Administrator will apply a "deemed" Cash-out Distribution rule as if the Participant received a Cash-out Distribution on the date of the Participant's Severance from Employment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's Account is entitled to an allocation of Employer contributions or Participant forfeitures for the Plan Year in which he has a Severance from Employment, the Plan Administrator will apply the deemed Cash-out Distribution rule as if the 0% vested Participant received a Cash-out Distribution on the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after his Severance from Employment, provided the Participant's Account does not include any nonforfeitable amounts as of such date.  For purposes of applying the restoration provisions of Section 4.05, the Plan Administrator will a Participant as having repaid his deemed Cash-out Distribution on the first date of his re-employment with the Employer.
Section 4.05    RESTORATION OF FORFEITED PORTION OF ACCOUNT.  A Participant who is re-employed after receiving a Cash-out Distribution (or deemed Cash-out Distribution) of the Nonforfeitable percentage of his Account shall have the right to repay the Trustee in cash the entire amount of the Cash-out Distribution he received and to have his Account restored pursuant to this Section 4.05.
28

A.Restoration and Conditions upon Restoration.  Subject to the conditions of this Section 4.05(A), if the Participant repays (or is deemed to repay) the Cash-out Distribution, the Plan Administrator shall restore forfeited amounts to his Account.  The amount of forfeitures restored shall be unadjusted for any gains or losses occurring subsequent to the forfeiture.  Notwithstanding such repayment, the Plan Administrator shall not restore a re-employed Participant's Account under the immediately preceding sentence if:
(i)The Participant's Account was 100% Nonforfeitable at the time of the Cash-out Distribution; or
(ii)The Participant incurred a Forfeiture Break in Service.  This condition shall apply only if repayment is not made before the earlier of five years after the first date on which the Participant is re-employed by the Employer, or the close of the first period of five consecutive Breaks in Service commencing after the Cash-out Distribution.
B.Time and Method of Restoration.  If neither of the two conditions preventing restoration of the Participant's Account applies, the Plan Administrator shall restore the Participant's Account as of the Plan Year Accounting Date coincident with or immediately following the repayment.  To restore the Participant's Account, the Plan Administrator, to the extent necessary, shall allocate to the Participant's Account:
(i)First, the amount, if any, of Participant forfeitures the Plan Administrator would otherwise allocate under Section 3.12; and 
(ii)Second, the Employer contribution for the Plan Year to the extent made under a discretionary formula.
To the extent the amounts available for restoration for a particular Plan Year are insufficient to enable the Plan Administrator to make the required restoration, the Employer shall contribute, without regard to any requirement or condition of Section 3.03, such additional amount as is necessary to enable the Plan Administrator to make the required restoration.  If, for a particular Plan Year, the Plan Administrator must restore the Account of more than one re-employed Participant, then the Plan Administrator shall make the restoration allocation(s) to each such Participant's Account in the same proportion that a Participant's restored amount for the Plan Year bears to the restored amount for the Plan Year of all re-employed Participants.  The Plan Administrator shall not take into account the allocation(s) under this Section 4.05 in applying the limitation on allocations described in Schedule III.
C.Segregated Account for Repaid Amount.  Until the Plan Administrator restores the Participant's Account, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Plan Administrator, invest the amount the Participant has repaid in a segregated Account maintained solely for that Participant.  The Trustee shall invest the amount in the Participant's segregated Account in federally insured interest-bearing savings account(s), time deposit(s), or similar investments, including a money market or similar fund currently offered as an investment option under the Trust.  Until commingled with the balance of the Trust Fund on the date the Plan Administrator restores the Participant's Account, the Participant's segregated Account shall remain a part of the Trust, but it alone shall share in any income it earns and it alone shall bear any expense or loss it incurs.  The Plan Administrator 
29

shall direct the Trustee to repay to the Participant, as soon as is administratively practicable, the full amount of the Participant's segregated Account, if the Plan Administrator determines that one or more of the conditions of Section 4.05(A) prevents restoration as of the applicable Accounting Date, notwithstanding the Participant's repayment.

ARTICLE V
TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Section 5.01    RETIREMENT.  Subject to Sections 5.02(C) and 5.05, upon a Participant's Severance from Employment on or after attaining Normal Retirement Age (for any reason other than death), payment of the Participant's Account shall commence to him as soon as administratively practicable after he files a claim for benefits in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, as the same may be amended from time to time. If the Participant (or his Beneficiary) does not file a claim for benefits, payment shall in any event be made no later than the time required under Section 5.05. A Participant who remains in the employ of the Employer after attaining Normal Retirement Age may elect to defer distribution of his Account to any later date permitted under Section 5.05. The form of payment shall be the same as for other Severance from Employment distributions, as set forth in Sections 5.02 and 5.04 and Schedule II, as applicable.
Section 5.02    DISTRIBUTION UPON SEVERANCE FROM EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE.  Upon a Participant's Severance from Employment prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age (for any reason other than death), payment shall commence to the Participant of the value of his Nonforfeitable Account Balance as provided in this Section 5.02.  The following rules and definitions shall apply to any such distribution:
A."Cash-out Distribution."  A Cash-out Distribution has the meaning described in Section 4.04.
B.Consent.  The Participant must consent in writing to a distribution (including the form of the distribution) if: (i) the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance on the date the distribution commences exceeds $5,000, and (ii) the Plan Administrator directs the Trustee to make a distribution to the Participant prior to his attaining the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62.  Furthermore, the Participant's Spouse must consent in writing to the extent required under the terms of Schedule II of the Plan, if applicable.
If a lump sum is payable under this Section 5.02 to a Participant and the distribution exceeds $1,000 but does not exceed $5,000, and the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan (as described in Code Section 401(a)(31)(E)) specified by the Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly, then the Plan Administrator shall pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator.  For purposes of clarity, in the event a lump sum is payable under this Section 5.02 to a Participant where the distribution is $1,000 or less, and the Participant does not make an election, then the Plan Administrator shall pay the distribution directly to the Participant.
The consent of the Participant, and the Participant's Spouse, if applicable, shall be obtained in writing within the 180-day period ending on the "Annuity Starting Date."  The Annuity Starting Date is the first day of the first period for which an amount is paid as an annuity or in any other form.  The Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant and the Participant's Spouse of the right to defer any distribution until the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance is no longer immediately distributable.  Such notification shall include a general description of the material features of the optional forms of benefit, if any, available under the Plan in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Code Section 411(a)(11) and its applicable Treasury Regulations (including a description of the consequences of failing to defer receipt of a distribution).  Further, such notice 
31

shall be provided not less than 30 days and no more than 180 days prior to the Annuity Starting Date.  However, the Participant, after having received this notice, may elect to commence a distribution sooner than 30 days after the notice was provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the Participant need consent to the commencement of a distribution in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity while the Account balance is immediately distributable. (Furthermore, if payment in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity is not required with respect to the Participant pursuant to Code Section 417, only the Participant need consent to the distribution of an Account balance that is immediately distributable.)  Neither the consent of the Participant nor the Participant's Spouse shall be required to the extent that a distribution is required to satisfy Code Sections 401(a)(9) or 415.  An Account balance is immediately distributable if any part of the Account balance could be distributed to the Participant (or the surviving Spouse) before the Participant attains, or would have attained if not deceased, the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62.
C.Time of Distribution of Account Balance.  Upon Severance from Employment, other than for death, before Normal Retirement Age, and subject to the consent requirements set forth in Schedule II to the Plan, if applicable, the Participant's Account balance shall be distributed as follows:
(i)If the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance on the date the distribution commences is $1,000 or less, the Trustee shall pay such Nonforfeitable Account Balance to the Participant in the form of a single, lump sum Cash-out Distribution as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant's Severance from Employment.
(ii)If the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance on the date the distribution commences is greater than $1,000, the Trustee shall pay such Nonforfeitable Account Balance in a form of payment described in Section 5.04 as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant's Severance from Employment unless the Participant (and his Spouse, if applicable) does not consent to such immediate distribution.
D.Deferral of Distribution of Account Balance.  If the Participant (and, if applicable, the Participant's Spouse) does not file a claim for benefits in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, as the same may be amended from time to time, and consent to the distribution in accordance with Section 5.02(B), to the extent applicable, the Participant's Account shall be held in trust until the earlier to occur of (1) the date that is as soon as administratively practicable following the date that the Participant files a claim for benefits in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, as the same may be amended from time to time, or (2) the Participant's Required Beginning Date, as defined in Section 1.33. At that time, the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Article V; provided, however, if the Participant dies after his Severance from Employment but prior to commencing receipt of his Plan Account, then, upon notice of the death and application for benefits to the Plan Administrator filed by the Participant's Beneficiary, the Nonforfeitable value of the Participant's Account shall be paid to his Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.05 and 5.06 of the Plan.
32

A Participant who has elected (or who is deemed to have elected) to delay receiving a distribution of his Account may elect to receive a distribution of his Nonforfeitable Account Balance as soon as administratively practicable by properly completing the appropriate distribution election forms or procedures. If no such election is made, the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance shall be paid as provided in Section 5.01 and 5.05.
Section 5.03    OTHER RULES GOVERNING THE TIME OF PAYMENT OF BENEFITS.
A.Minimum Legal Distribution Requirements.  Unless a Participant elects otherwise in writing, distribution of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance shall commence no later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following occurs:
(i)    the date the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age;
(ii)    the 10th anniversary of the date on which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or
(iii)    the date of the Participant's Severance from Employment with the Employer.
Notwithstanding the above, except as provided in Sections 5.02(C)(i) or (ii) and 5.05, a Participant must file a claim for benefits before payment of his Nonforfeitable Account Balance will commence.
B.In no event shall the payment commence later than the time prescribed by or in a form not permitted under this Article V.  The Participant (and, if applicable, the Participant's Spouse) shall be provided with the appropriate form to consent to the distribution direction, if required.
Section 5.04    FORM OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS.  Subject to Schedule II, if applicable, and Section 5.05(C), a Participant shall receive payment of his Nonforfeitable Account Balance based upon the value of the Account on the Valuation Date coinciding with or immediately preceding the date the distribution is processed in the following forms:
A.A single lump sum in cash (or, where applicable, in Shares).
B.In monthly, quarterly, annual or semi-annual installments in cash over a specified period not longer than 15 years, subject to Section 5.05.  Each installment shall be equal in amount except as necessary to adjust for any changes in the value of the Participant's Account.  A Participant receiving installments may elect, in accordance with rules and procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator, to receive the balance of his Account in a single lump sum in cash.
C.A qualified joint and survivor annuity, but only for Participants who previously participated in the Packaging Coordinators, Inc.  Money Purchase Pension Plan, if any.
Section 5.05    REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS.
A.Definitions.  For purposes of this Section 5.05, the following definitions shall apply:
33

(i)"Designated Beneficiary" is the individual who is designated as the beneficiary under Section 1.03 and is the Designated Beneficiary under Code Section 401(a)(9) and Section 1.401(a)(9)-4, Q&A-4 of the Treasury Regulations.
(ii)"Distribution Calendar Year" is a calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required.  For distributions beginning before the Participant's death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year that contains the Participant's Required Beginning Date.  For distributions beginning after the Participant's death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in which the distributions are required to begin.  The required minimum distribution for the Participant's first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Participant's Required Beginning Date.  The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant's Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.
(iii)"Life Expectancy" is a beneficiary's life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations.
(iv)"RMD Account Balance" is the account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year (the "Valuation Calendar Year") increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of dates in the Valuation Calendar Year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the Valuation Calendar Year after the valuation date.  The account balance for the Valuation Calendar Year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the Valuation Calendar Year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the Valuation Calendar Year.
B.Time and Manner of Distribution.
(i)Required Beginning Date.  The Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant's Required Beginning Date.
(ii)Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin.  If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:
a.If the Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, then, except as provided herein, distributions to the surviving Spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 701⁄2, if later.
b.If the Participant's surviving Spouse is not the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, then, except as provided herein, distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by 
34

December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.
c.If there is no Designated Beneficiary, or the Designated Beneficiary has not been located, as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.
d.If the Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving Spouse begin, this Subsection (ii), other than subparagraph (a), will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.
For purposes of this Section 5.05(B) and Sections 5.05(F) and (G), unless subparagraph (d) above applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's Required Beginning Date.  If subparagraph (d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under subparagraph (a).  If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant's Required Beginning Date (or to the Participant's surviving Spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under subparagraph (a)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.
C.Forms of Distribution.  Subject to the annuity provisions of Schedule II, if the Participant's interest is not distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company (if applicable) or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year, distributions will be made in installments sufficient to satisfy applicable Code requirements and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.05(D), 5.05(E), 5.05(F), and 5.05(G), as necessary.  If the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
D.Amount of Required Minimum Distributions for Each Distribution Calendar Year.  During the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:
(i)the quotient obtained by dividing the RMD Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's age as of the Participant's birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or
(ii)if the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant's Spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the RMD Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's and the Spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and Spouse's birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.
35

E.Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant's Death.  Required minimum distributions will be determined under Section 5.05(D) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant's date of death.
F.Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.
(i)Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the RMD Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant's Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:
a.The Participant's remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
b.If the Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving Spouse is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death using the surviving Spouse's age as of the Spouse's birthday in that year.  For Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving Spouse's death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving Spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving Spouse as of the Spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the Spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.
c.If the Participant's surviving Spouse is not the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary's remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
(ii)No Designated Beneficiary.  If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant's death, or the Designated Beneficiary cannot be located, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the RMD Account Balance by the Participant's remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
G.Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
(i)Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  Except as provided herein, if the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's 
36

death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's RMD Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant's Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in Section 5.05(F).
(ii)No Designated Beneficiary.  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary, or the Designated Beneficiary cannot be located, as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, distribution of the Participant's entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.
(iii)Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse are Required to Begin.  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving Spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 5.05(B)(ii)(a), this Section will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.
(iv)In addition to the foregoing, in the case of a Participant who dies on or after January 1, 2007 while performing Qualified Military Service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)), the survivors of the Participant are entitled to any additional benefits that are provided under the Plan assuming the Participant resumed and then terminated employment on account of death.  However, the deemed resumption of employment of the Participant shall be applied only to determine eligibility of a Beneficiary for any pre-retirement death benefits, and only to the extent required by published guidance, as incorporated herein.
H.General Rules.
(i)Precedence.  The requirements of this Section 5.05 will supersede any contrary provisions of the Plan to the extent required to comply with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(ii)TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.05, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act ("TEFRA") and the provisions of the Plan that relate to TEFRA Section 242(b)(2).
I.Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.05 to the contrary, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 but for the enactment of Code Section 401(a)(9)(H) ("2009 RMDs"), and who would have satisfied that requirement by receiving distributions that are (1) equal to the 2009 RMDs or (2) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2009 RMDs) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Participant's designated Beneficiary, or for a period of at least 10 years ("Extended 2009 RMDs"), will not receive those distributions for 2009 unless the Participant or Beneficiary affirmatively elects to receive such distributions.
Section 5.06    DESIGNATION OF AND DISTRIBUTION TO BENEFICIARY.  A Participant may, from time to time, designate in writing a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in 
37

accordance with rules and procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.  A married Participant's designation of a Beneficiary other than the Participant's Spouse shall not be valid unless the Participant's Spouse consents (in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 417) to the Beneficiary designation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant's Spouse is not required to consent to the designation of a Beneficiary other than such Spouse to the extent provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)-20, Q&A-27, or other applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service.  The Plan Administrator's receipt of a valid Beneficiary designation shall effectively revoke all prior Beneficiary designations filed by the same Participant.
The termination of a Participant's marriage shall not automatically result in a revocation or change of the Participant's Beneficiary designation.  Further, no provision in any court order, judgment, decree, or similar document shall be effective to revoke or change a Participant's Beneficiary designation, except to the extent that such order, judgment or decree is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order that must be honored by the Plan.  Any new Beneficiary designation, change or revocation by a Participant shall be effective only if it is received by the Plan Administrator before the Participant's death.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant marries or remarries after making a Beneficiary designation, the Beneficiary designation shall automatically be revoked.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Beneficiary designation filed prior to October 16, 2012 shall no longer be valid after such date, and a Participant who fails to file a Beneficiary designation after such date shall be treated as having no designation of Beneficiary on file.
Section 5.07    FAILURE OF BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.  If a Participant has not filed a valid Beneficiary designation in accordance with Section 5.06, or if the Beneficiary named by a Participant predeceases him, then the Trustee shall pay the Participant's Account in a single lump sum to the Participant's surviving Spouse, or if there is no surviving Spouse, to the Participant's estate.
If the Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before complete distribution of the Participant's Account, the remaining portion of the Participant's Account shall be paid in a lump sum to any contingent Beneficiaries named by the Participant in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator or, if there are no contingent Beneficiaries, to the legal representative of the estate of such deceased Beneficiary.  The Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee as to the method and to whom the Trustee shall make payment under this Section 5.07.
Section 5.08    SPECIAL RULES FOR TRANSFER ACCOUNTS.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Article V to the contrary, with respect to any Participant who has one or more Transfer Accounts consisting in whole or in part of Transfer Contributions which, by operation of relevant law and regulation (including, but not limited to, ERISA and the Code), must be distributed or made available under the same terms and conditions under which amounts held thereunder were previously held (prior to their becoming Transfer Contributions), to the extent that such terms and conditions must be preserved in order to comply with Code Section 411(d)(6), the Plan Administrator shall, upon the written request of the Participant (in the case of optional forms of benefit), cause the Trustee to distribute or make available such Transfer Contributions at such times and in such manner as may be so required.
Section 5.09    DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Trustee from complying with the provisions of a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(A)).  This Plan specifically permits distribution to an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order at any time, irrespective of whether the Participant has attained his earliest retirement age (as defined under Code Section 414(p)(4)(B)) under the Plan.  A distribution to an alternate payee 
38

prior to the Participant's attainment of the earliest retirement age is available only if the order specifies or permits such an earlier distribution.  Nothing in this Section 5.09 gives a Participant the right to receive a distribution at a time not permitted under the Plan, nor does this Section 5.09 give the alternate payee the right to receive a form of payment not permitted under the Plan.
The Plan Administrator shall establish procedures to determine the qualified status of a domestic relations order.
Section 5.10FORM OF PAYMENTS.  Lump sum payments may be made in cash or in Shares, if applicable.  A Participant (or Beneficiary or personal representative, as applicable) making application for distribution of his Account shall be entitled to elect, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator, to have all those Shares then held in or thereafter credited to his Account distributed to him in kind.  If such an election is made, any Plan distribution made under this Article V shall consist (in part) of the number of whole Shares (provided that any fractional share interests shall be paid in cash) credited to the Participant's Account, but only as part of any lump sum distribution payable hereunder which includes all such Participant's Shares then being held in the Trust Fund (fractional interests excepted).  If a Participant or Beneficiary elects an annuity form of distribution pursuant to Schedule II, a nontransferable annuity contract shall be purchased from a commercial insurer with the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance and distributed to the Participant or Beneficiary.
Section 5.11LOST PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY.  The Account of a Participant or Beneficiary may be forfeited in accordance with rules and procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator if the Plan Administrator, after reasonable effort, is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom payment is due.  The amount forfeited shall be treated as a forfeiture subject to Section 3.12 of the Plan.  If the Participant or Beneficiary later files a claim for the forfeited benefit, the benefit will be restored without earnings or interest.
Section 5.12FACILITY OF PAYMENT.  If any person entitled to receive any amount under the provisions of this Plan is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be incapable of receiving or disbursing the same by reason of minority, illness or infirmity, mental incompetency, or incapacity of any kind, the Plan Administrator shall comply with such court order, and shall have no duty to investigate whether or not such person is competent.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, direct the Trustee to take any one or more of the following actions:
A.To apply such amount directly for the comfort, support and maintenance of such person;
B.To reimburse any person for any such support theretofore supplied to the person entitled to receive any such payment;
C.To pay such amount to any person selected by the Plan Administrator to disburse it for such comfort, support and maintenance, including without limitation, any relative who has undertaken, wholly or partially, the expense of such person's comfort, care and maintenance, or any institution in whose care or custody the person entitled to the amount may be.  The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, deposit any amount due to a minor to his credit in any savings or commercial bank of the Plan Administrator's choice.
Section 5.13NO DISTRIBUTION PRIOR TO SEVERANCE FROM EMPLOYMENT, DEATH OR TOTAL DISABILITY.  Except as provided below, Compensation Deferrals, Safe Harbor Matching Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions, Qualified Non-elective Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions, and income allocable 
39

to each, are not distributable to a Participant or his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, in accordance with such Participant's or Beneficiary's election, earlier than upon Severance from Employment, death or Total Disability.
Such amounts may also be distributed upon:
A.Termination of the Plan without the establishment of another defined contribution plan, as defined in the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.
B.The hardship of the Participant, as described in Section 6.01 herein.
C.The attainment by the Participant of age 591⁄2, as described in Section 6.04 herein.
D.With respect to Compensation Deferral and Catch-Up Contributions, effective January 1, 2009, pursuant to Code Section 414(u)(12)(B), a Participant performing services in the uniformed services (as defined in chapter 43 of title 38 of the United State Code) while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days shall be treated as having incurred a Severance from Employment for purposes of eligibility to receive a distribution from his Account attributable to Compensation Deferral and Catch-Up Contributions during any period the Participant is performing services in the uniformed services while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days. However, if a Participant obtains a distribution according to the foregoing provision, such Participant's Compensation Deferral, Roth, Catch-Up, and Roth Catch-Up Contributions to this Plan shall be suspended for six months following the date of distribution; and
E.With respect to Compensation Deferral and Catch-Up Contributions, effective January 1, 2010, a Participant who is a Qualified Reservist (by reason of being a member of a reserve component (as defined in Section 101 of Title 37 of the United States Code)) who was ordered or called to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period is eligible for a Qualified Reservist Distribution, as described in Section 6.07 of the Plan.
F.    See Sections 6.02 and 6.03 regarding withdrawals from Rollover Accounts, Roth Rollover Accounts, and/or Transfer Accounts.
All distributions that may be made pursuant to one or more of the foregoing distributable events are subject to the spousal and Participant consent requirements (if applicable) contained in Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417.
Section 5.14DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS TRANSFERRED FROM MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLAN.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that any optional form of benefit under the Plan permits a distribution prior to the employee's retirement, death, Total Disability, or Severance from Employment, and prior to Plan termination, the optional form of benefit is not available with respect to benefits attributable to assets (including the post-transfer earnings thereon) and liabilities that are transferred, within the meaning of Code Section 414(l), to this Plan from a money purchase pension plan qualified under Code Section 401(a) (other than any portion of those assets and liabilities attributable to voluntary employee contributions).  The conversion of a plan from a money purchase pension plan to a profit sharing plan shall be treated as a transfer subject to Code Section 414(l) for the purpose of this Section 5.14.
Section 5.15WRITTEN INSTRUCTION NOT REQUIRED.  Any elections made or distributions processed under this Article V may be accomplished through telephonic, electronic 
40

or similar instructions in accordance with rules and procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator, to the extent consistent with the requirements of the Code and ERISA.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, spousal consents and waivers, to the extent required, must be in writing.
41

ARTICLE VI
WITHDRAWALS, DIRECT ROLLOVERS AND WITHHOLDING, LOANS
Section 6.01    HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS.  Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 5.13, upon the application of any Participant (but not a Former Participant), the Plan Administrator, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, may permit such Participant to withdraw all or a portion of the vested amounts then credited to his Compensation Deferral Account and Catch-Up Account and, effective January 1, 2012, Roth Account (in each case, excluding all trust earnings credited thereto), if the withdrawal is necessary due to the immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant.
A.Only distributions made on account of the following circumstances shall be considered to be made on account of immediate and heavy financial need:
(i)Expenses previously incurred by or necessary to obtain for the Participant, the Participant's Spouse, or his dependents (which for this purpose means an individual defined in Code Section 152 without regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)) medical care deductible under Code Section 213(d), determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed any applicable income limit;
(ii)Costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;
(iii)Expenditures necessary to prevent eviction from the Participant's principal residence or foreclosure of a mortgage on the same;
(iv)Payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, his Spouse, his children or other dependents (which for this purpose means an individual defined in Code Section 152 without regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(b)); or
(v)Payments for funeral or burial expenses for the Participant's deceased parent, Spouse, child or dependent (which for this purpose means an individual defined in Code Section 152 without regard to Code Section (d)(1)(b));
(vi)Expenses to repair damage to the Participant's principal residence that would qualify for a casualty loss under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss (i) exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income within the meaning of Code Section 165(h)(2) or (ii) is attributable to a federally declared disaster within the meaning of Code Section 165(h)(5)); or
(vii)Any other reason deemed to be an immediate and heavy financial need by the Secretary of the Treasury.
For purposes of clarity, the Participant's Beneficiary is not treated like the Participant's Spouse or dependents for purposes of determining immediate and heavy financial need.
42

B.A distribution will be considered to be necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant only if:
(i)The Participant has obtained all distributions other than hardship distributions, and all nontaxable loans, currently available under all plans maintained by the Employer;
(ii)All plans maintained by the Employer provide that the Participant's Compensation Deferrals or other Participant contributions will be suspended for 6 months after the receipt of the hardship distribution (which this Plan hereby so provides); and
(iii)The distribution is not in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need, including any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.
Section 6.02    SPECIAL WITHDRAWAL RULES APPLICABLE TO ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS.  A Participant (but not a Former Participant) who maintains a Rollover Account or Roth Rollover Account in the Plan may elect to make withdrawals (in cash or, if applicable, in Shares) from his Rollover Account or Roth Rollover Account.  Any election to begin, change or cease withdrawals shall be made in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator or in such other manner as permitted by the Plan Administrator.  Payment of amounts so requested shall be made within an administratively reasonable period of time after the withdrawal has been requested.
Section 6.03    SPECIAL WITHDRAWAL RULES APPLICABLE TO TRANSFER ACCOUNTS.  Notwithstanding any other Plan provision to the contrary, if the Internal Revenue Service requires distribution to be made (or offered) with respect to any or all amounts held on behalf of a Participant with respect to a predecessor or transferor plan, as a condition of preserving the tax-qualified status of this Plan or of said predecessor or transferor plan, or if a court of competent jurisdiction issues an order or decree in respect of the Plan or its fiduciaries that is determined under relevant federal law to be enforceable, and that compels the distribution of a Participant's Plan interest, the Plan Administrator will be entitled to direct the prompt distribution (or offer of distribution) of such amounts.
Section 6.04    WITHDRAWALS UPON ATTAINMENT OF AGE 591⁄2; PROCEDURES.  Subject to the consent requirements of Schedule II, if applicable, a Participant (but not a Former Participant) who has attained age 591⁄2 may elect to make withdrawals (in cash or, if applicable, in Shares) from the Nonforfeitable portion of his Account in the Plan that is not subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 5.13.  Any election to begin, change or cease withdrawals shall be made in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator or in such other manner as permitted by the Plan Administrator.  Payment of amounts so requested shall be made within an administratively reasonable period of time after the withdrawal has been requested.
Section 6.05    DIRECT ROLLOVER AND WITHHOLDING RULES.
A.In General.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee's election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.  The Plan Administrator may establish rules and procedures governing the processing of 
43

Direct Rollovers and limiting the amount or number of such Direct Rollovers in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations.  Distributions not transferred to an Eligible Retirement Plan in a Direct Rollover shall be subject to income tax withholding as provided under the Code and applicable state and local laws, if any.
B.Definitions. 
(i)"Eligible Rollover Distribution."  An Eligible Rollover Distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: (a) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years of more; (b) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); (c) a hardship distribution; (d) any loan that is treated as a distribution under Code Section 72(p) and not excepted by Code Section 72(p)(2), or a loan that is a deemed distribution; and (e) any corrective distribution provided under Schedule III of the Plan, if applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of a distribution that consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross income may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Sections 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution that is not so includible.  In addition, the portion of any distribution on and after January 1, 2007 that consists of after-tax contributions which are not includible in gross income may be transferred (in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer) to a qualified defined benefit plan or a Code Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred (and the earnings thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.  Further, for distributions after January 1, 2012, any portion of a distribution from a Roth Account (including earnings or losses thereon) may constitute an Eligible Rollover Distribution, but only if such distribution is transferred to a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A, or to a designated Roth Account of the Participant in a plan that is exempt from tax under Code Section 401(a) or 403(b).  In addition, 2009 RMDs and Extended 2009 RMDs, as defined in Section 5.05.I of the Plan, will be treated as Eligible Rollover Distributions in 2009.
(ii)"Eligible Retirement Plan."  An Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a), an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) and an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and that agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, and, effective January 1, 2008, a Roth individual retirement arrangement within the meaning of 
44

Code Section 408A, that accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover Distribution.  Effective January 1, 2012, an Eligible Retirement Plan also includes the Participant's designated Roth account under a plan that is exempt from tax under Code Section 401(a) or 403(b) with respect to amounts held in a Roth Account in this Plan.  This definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving Spouse, or to a Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p).  Effective July 1, 2007, subject to the provisions of Code Section 402(c)(11), Eligible Retirement Plan shall include an individual retirement plan described in Code Section 402(c)(8)(B)(i) or (ii) that is established for the purpose of receiving a distribution on behalf of an individual who is a designated Beneficiary of a deceased Employee or former Employee and who is not the surviving Spouse of such deceased Employee or former Employee, provided that the distribution is made in the form of a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to such individual retirement plan.
(iii)"Distributee."  A Distributee includes an Employee or former Employee.  In addition, the Employee's or former Employee's surviving Spouse and the Employee's or former Employee's Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), are Distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse or former Spouse.  Effective July 1, 2007, a Beneficiary of a deceased Employee or former Employee other than the Employee's or former Employee's surviving Spouse is a Distributee for the limited purposes identified in Section 6.05(B)(ii) above.
(iv)"Direct Rollover."  A Direct Rollover is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.  In the case of a non-spouse Beneficiary, a Direct Rollover may be made only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Sections 408(a) or 408(b) that is established on behalf of the designated Beneficiary and that will be treated as an inherited individual retirement account within the meaning of Code Section 408(d)(3)(C) pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 402(c)(11).  Also, in this case, the determination of any required minimum distribution under Code Section 401(a)(9) that is ineligible for rollover shall be made in accordance with Notice 2007-7, Q&A 17 and 18, 2007-5 I.R.B. 395, or with any subsequent published guidance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Direct Rollover of a distribution from a Participant's Roth Account under the Plan will only be made to another Roth contribution account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code Section 402(e)(1) or to a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section 402(c).
C.In Kind Rollovers of Loans.  If a Participant has a Severance from Employment as a result of a divestiture of his Employer from the Company and the Participant's Employer no longer maintains the Plan, the Participant shall be eligible to elect a distribution of his Nonforfeitable Account Balance.  Provided that such Participant elects to make a direct rollover of the full amount of his Nonforfeitable Account Balance to another tax-qualified retirement plan that permits participant loans, any outstanding loans of the Participant may be rolled over in kind to any other tax-qualified retirement plan that will accept such rollover of loans in kind.
45

Section 6.06    LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS.  Loans may be granted to any Participant under the Plan in accordance with applicable rules under the Code and ERISA, and the provisions of this Section 6.06.
A.General Rules.  A Participant may request a loan from his Nonforfeitable Account Balance under the Plan pursuant to rules and procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.  Loans shall be made available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis; provided, however, that loans will not be made available to a Former Participant unless such Former Participant remains an active employee on an Employer's payroll.
In no event will the total of any outstanding loan balances made to any Participant, including any interest accrued thereon, when aggregated with corresponding loan balances of the Participant under any other plans of the Employer or any Affiliate, exceed the lesser of (i) or (ii), below:
(i)$50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of the highest outstanding balance of such loans during the one-year period ending on the day before the date any such loan is made over the outstanding balance of such loans on the date any such loan is made; or
(ii)One-half of the value of the vested portion of the Participant's Account.  For purposes of this Section, the value of a Participant's Account shall be determined as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or next preceding the date on which a properly completed loan request is received by the Plan Administrator (or its delegate) or the Trustee, as applicable.
The minimum amount of any loan shall be $1,000.
B.Term of Loan.  The term of any loan shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Plan Administrator or Trustee and the Participant, but shall, at a minimum, be 12 months in duration.  The term of any loan shall not exceed five years, except with respect to any loan that within a reasonable time (determined at the time the loan is made) is to be used as the principal residence of the Participant, in which case the term of such loan shall not exceed 15 years.  All loans shall be amortized in level payments made not less frequently than quarterly over the term of the loan, or in accordance with other rules and procedures established by the Employer or the Plan Administrator.
C.Security.  Each loan made hereunder shall be evidenced by a credit agreement with, or a note payable to the order of, the Trustee, and shall be secured by adequate collateral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no more than one-half of the vested portion of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance (determined as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or next preceding the date on which the loan is made) shall be used to secure any loan.
D.Interest.  Each Participant loan shall be considered an investment of the Trust, and interest shall be charged thereon at a reasonable rate commensurate with the interest rates then being charged by persons in the business of lending money under similar circumstances, in accordance with rules and procedures approved by the Plan Administrator.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if necessary, the Plan Administrator will reduce the interest rate of an outstanding Participant loan to 6% during a period of qualified military leave as defined in Code Section 414(u)(5), to the extent required by the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 
46

1940.  Participant loans under this Section will be considered the directed investment of the Participant requesting such loan, and interest paid on such loan will be allocated to the Account of the Participant-borrower.
E.Repayment Terms.
(i)Generally.  The terms and conditions of each loan shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Plan Administrator or Trustee and the Participant.  The Plan Administrator shall take all necessary actions to ensure that each loan is repaid on schedule by its maturity date, including requiring repayment of the loan by payroll deduction whenever possible.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.06(E), if a Participant is terminated from employment under the terms of a designated reduction in force, the Participant may continue to make loan payments on any loan balance outstanding at the time of such termination according to the rules and procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.
(ii)Suspension of Loan Payments during Qualified Military Leave.  Loan payments shall be suspended during a period of Qualified Military Service, as defined in Code Section 414(u)(5).  The duration of such period of service shall not be taken into account in determining the maximum permissible term of the loan under Code Section 72(p) and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  Following the Participant's timely reemployment after a period of Qualified Military Service, loan payments shall resume at an amount no less than required by the terms of the original loan, and at a frequency such that the loan will be repaid in full during a period that is no longer than the "latest permissible term of the loan" (defined as latest date permitted under Code Section 72(p)(2)(B) plus the period of suspension due to such military service).
F.Spousal Consent.  Any Participant whose Account is subject to the annuity provisions set forth in Schedule II must obtain the consent of his Spouse, if any, within the 90-day period before the time the Participant's vested Account is used as collateral security for the loan, to the extent required by law.  Such consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of the loan, and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public.  A new consent is required if the Account balance is used for any increase in the amount of security.
G.Restrictions on Loans.  No Participant shall have more than two loans under this Section 6.06 outstanding at the same time.  However, if a Participant who previously participated in one of the Merging Plans that permitted multiple loans has more than two loans outstanding, or if a Participant in a plan that subsequently merges into this Plan has more than two loans outstanding under such merging plan at the date of merger, such Participant may, in accordance with the terms of such loans, continue to repay such existing loans without violating this provision.
H.Nondiscrimination.  Loans will not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to other Employees.
I.Default.  Failure to make a payment by the end of the applicable cure period set forth in loan procedures adopted pursuant to Section 6.06(J) of the Plan will generally constitute a default, unless otherwise provided in such loan procedures.  
47

Such loan procedures may include additional rules and procedures for handling loan defaults, including, but not limited to, restrictions on future borrowing.
J.Procedure.  The Plan Administrator will establish rules and procedures to administer Participant loans.
Section 6.07    QUALIFIED RESERVIST DISTRIBUTIONS.  Effective as of January 1, 2010, any Participant who is a Qualified Reservist may withdraw the portion of his Account balance attributable to his own Compensation Deferral and Catch-Up Contributions regardless of age or employment status to the extent that such distribution is a "Qualified Reservist Distribution."  For purposes of this Section, a "Qualified Reservist Distribution" is a distribution of Compensation Deferral and Catch-Up Contributions that is (i) made to a Participant who is a Qualified Reservist who was ordered or called to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period, and (ii) made during the period beginning on the date of such order or call and ending at the close of the active duty period.  For purposes of this Section, a "Qualified Reservist" is an individual who is a member of a reserve component (as defined in Section 101 of Title 37 of the United States Code) ordered or called to active duty after September 11, 2001.

The following special rules apply to a Qualified Reservist Distribution:

A.    Exception from the 10% Excise Tax for Early Withdrawals.  A Qualified Reservist Distribution shall be exempt from the 10% excise tax under Code Section 72(t) for early withdrawals.

B.    Qualified Reservist Distributions May be Contributed to an IRA.  The Participant who receives a Qualified Reservist Distribution may, at any time during the two-year period beginning on the date after the end of the active duty period, make one or more contributions to an individual retirement account of such individual in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Qualified Reservist Distribution. The dollar limitations otherwise applicable to contributions to individual retirement accounts shall not apply to any contribution made pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided, however, that no deduction shall be allowed for any such contribution. In no event shall the Participant be permitted to re-contribute a Qualified Reservist Distribution to this Plan.

C.    Tie-Breaker Rule. If a Participant receives a distribution that satisfies the requirements to be a Qualified Reservist Distribution and a distribution described in Section 5.13(D), the distribution will be treated as a Qualified Reservist Distribution.

ARTICLE VII
EMPLOYER ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Section 7.01    ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST.  The Plan Administrator shall execute an agreement with one or more persons who shall serve as the Trustee (such agreement the "Trust Agreement").  The Trustee so selected shall serve as the Trustee until otherwise replaced or until such Trust Agreement is terminated.  The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, enter into such further agreements with the Trustee or other parties and make such amendments to the Trust Agreement as it may deem necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan.  Any and all rights or benefits that may accrue to a person under this Plan shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement.
Section 7.02    INFORMATION TO PLAN ADMINISTRATOR.  Each Employer shall supply current information to the Plan Administrator, including the name, date of birth, beginning date of employment, annual compensation, leaves of absence, Years of Service, date of termination of employment, and any such other information requested by the Plan Administrator with respect to each Employee who is, or who will be eligible to become, a Participant under the Plan.
Section 7.03    NO LIABILITY.  Each Employer assumes no obligation or responsibility to any of its Employees, Participants or Beneficiaries for any act of, or failure to act by, the Plan Administrator or the Trustee.
Section 7.04    INDEMNITY BY EMPLOYER.  Each Employer indemnifies and saves harmless the Plan Administrator, any committee of the Board, and each individual member thereof, from and against any and all loss (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs of defense) resulting from liability to which the Plan Administrator, such committee, or such individual member thereof may be subjected by reason of any act or conduct in their official capacities in the administration of the Trust or this Plan or both, including expenses reasonably incurred in their defense, in case the Employer fails to provide such defense.  The indemnification provisions of this Section 7.04 shall not relieve the Plan Administrator or member of a committee from any liability he may have under ERISA for breach of a fiduciary duty to the extent such indemnification is prohibited by ERISA.  Furthermore, the Plan Administrator and any committee members and the Employer may execute a letter agreement further delineating the indemnification agreement of this Section 7.04, provided the letter agreement must be consistent with and shall not violate ERISA.
Section 7.05    INVESTMENT FUNDS.  The Plan Administrator shall select certain investment funds for the Plan (the "Investment Funds"), rules and procedures governing the administration of the Investment Funds, and rules and procedures for directing the investment of Participant Accounts among the Investment Funds.  The Trustee shall invest and reinvest the principal and income of each Account in the Trust Fund as required by ERISA and as directed by Participants.  The Plan Administrator reserves the right to add, remove, or change any Investment Fund (other than the Employer Common Stock Fund) and the rules and procedures governing investment directions at any time and from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan shall have an "Employer Common Stock Fund" as one of the Investment Funds available to Participants under the Plan.  The Employer Common Stock Fund shall consist of stock of the Company and cash or cash equivalents needed to meet obligations of such fund or for the purchase of stock of the Company.  One of the purposes of the Plan is to provide Participants with the opportunity to hold directly or indirectly ownership interests in the Company.  To the extent practicable, all available assets of the Employer Common Stock Fund shall be used to purchase Shares, which shall be held by the Trustee and allocated to Participant Accounts until distribution in kind or sale for distribution of cash to 
49

Participants or Beneficiaries or until disposition is required to implement changes in investment designations.  In addition to the Employer Common Stock Fund, all or any portion of the remaining Trust Fund may consist of Shares.  The Trustee may acquire or dispose of Shares as necessary to implement Participant directions and may net transactions within the Trust Fund.  In addition, when acquiring Shares, the Trustee may acquire Shares directly from the Company or on the open market as necessary to effect Participant directions.  In either case, the price paid for such Shares shall not exceed the fair market value of the Shares.  The fair market value of the Shares acquired directly from the Company shall mean the mean between the high and low bid and ask prices as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the date of such transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may establish limitations on the amount or portion of a Participant's Account that may be invested in any single Investment Fund.
Investment Funds (other than the Employer Common Stock Fund) may consist of preferred and common stocks, bonds, debentures, negotiable instruments and evidences of indebtedness of every kind and form, or securities and units of participation issued by companies registered under the Investment Companies Act of 1940, master limited partnerships or real estate investment trusts, or any common or collective fund established or maintained for the collective investment and reinvestment of assets of pension and profit sharing trusts that are exempt from federal income taxation under the Code, or any combination of the foregoing.  The Trustee shall hold, manage, administer, invest, reinvest, account for and otherwise deal with the Trust Fund and each separate Investment Fund as provided in the Trust Agreement.
Anything in the Plan or Trust Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall not sell, alienate, encumber, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or tender or withdraw, any Shares held by it under the Trust Agreement, except (i) as specifically provided for in the Plan or (ii) in the case of a "Tender Offer" as directed in writing by a Participant (or Beneficiary, where applicable) on a form provided or approved by the Plan Administrator and delivered to the Trustee.  For the purposes hereof, a Tender Offer shall mean any offer for, or request for or invitation for tenders of, or offer to purchase or acquire, any Shares that is directed generally to shareholders of the Company or any transaction that may be defined as a Tender Offer under rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  To the extent that any money or other property is received by the Trustee as a result of a tender of Shares not prohibited by the preceding sentence, such money or property shall be allocated to such other Investment Fund(s) as directed by the Participants in whose Account the Shares so tendered were held.
Section 7.06    EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN.  Effective as of January 1, 2009, the Employer Common Stock Fund shall be designated an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e).  The ESOP portion of the Plan, consisting of the Employer Common Stock Fund, shall be maintained and offered as an Investment Fund under the Plan notwithstanding any contrary provision herein.  All dividends paid with respect to shares of Company common stock held in the Trust shall (i) be retained by the Trustee and added to the corpus of the Trust and the Employer Common Stock Fund, (ii) be paid in cash directly to Plan Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries, or (iii) be paid to the Trustee and distributed in cash to Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the Plan Year in which the dividend was paid.  The Plan Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether dividends will be paid directly to Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries or will be paid to the Trustee for distribution within ninety (90) days after the close of the Plan Year in which the dividend was paid.  In the event of a distribution or payment of dividends to Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries, each Participant, Former Participant and Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall receive the dividends paid on the shares of Company common stock allocated to his Account in the Plan on the dividend record date.  Each Participant, Former Participant and Beneficiary with an account in the ESOP portion of the Plan shall be permitted to elect whether 
50

to have the dividends allocable to the shares of Company common stock held in his Account payable in cash or deposited to his Account in the ESOP portion of the Plan and reinvested in shares of the Company's common stock.  In the event a Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary fails to make an election, dividends will be reinvested in the ESOP portion of the Plan.  The Plan Administrator shall establish rules and procedures for the election to be offered to Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries that satisfy the following requirements:
A.Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries shall be given a reasonable opportunity in which to make the election before the dividends are paid or distributed to them;
B.Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries shall be given a reasonable opportunity to change their elections at least annually; and
C.If there is a change in the Plan terms governing the manner in which the dividends are paid or distributed, Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries shall be given a reasonable opportunity to make elections under the new Plan terms before the first dividends subject to such new Plan terms are paid or distributed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant receives a hardship withdrawal under Section 6.01 of the Plan, such Participant must receive any dividends payable with respect to his interest in the ESOP portion of the Plan in cash.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.01 of the Plan, a Participant shall always be treated as fully vested in dividends payable with respect to his interest in the ESOP portion of the Plan without regard to whether or not such Participant is fully vested in his Account in the Plan and the shares of Company common stock allocable to the Participant's Account and on which such dividends are paid.  The provisions of this Section 7.06 are intended to satisfy the requirements in Code Section 404(k)(2)(A)(iii) regarding the deductibility of dividends paid with respect to employer securities held by an employee stock ownership plan.  Any modification or amendment of the Plan may be made retroactively, as necessary or appropriate, to meet any requirement of Code Section 404(k).  The election provided under this Section 7.06 is available only to the extent that the Company may deduct dividends paid with respect to employer securities held by the Employer Common Stock Fund under Code Section 404(k).

ARTICLE VIII
PARTICIPANT ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Section 8.01    PERSONAL DATA TO PLAN ADMINISTRATOR.  Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant must furnish to the Plan Administrator such evidence, data or information as the Plan Administrator considers necessary or desirable for the purpose of administering the Plan.  The provisions of this Plan are effective for the benefit of each Participant upon the condition precedent that each Participant will furnish promptly full, true and complete evidence, data and information when requested by the Plan Administrator, provided the Plan Administrator shall advise each Participant of the effect of his failure to comply with its request.  
Section 8.02    ADDRESS FOR NOTIFICATION.    Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall file with the Plan Administrator, from time to time, in writing, or otherwise notify the Plan Administrator (in accordance with its rules and procedures) of, his post office address and any change of post office address.  To the extent permitted by law, any communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant, or Beneficiary, at his last post office address filed with the Plan Administrator, or as shown on the records of the Employer, shall bind the Participant, or Beneficiary, for all purposes of this Plan.
Section 8.03    ASSIGNMENT OR ALIENATION.  Subject to Code Section 414(p) relating to qualified domestic relations orders or as otherwise permitted or required by law (e.g., certain Federal tax levies, Plan overpayments), (i) neither a Participant nor a Beneficiary shall anticipate, assign or alienate (either at law or in equity) any benefit provided under the Plan, and the Trustee shall not recognize any such anticipation, assignment or alienation and (ii) a benefit under the Plan shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.
Section 8.04    NOTICE OF CHANGE IN TERMS.  The Plan Administrator, within the time prescribed by ERISA and the applicable regulations, shall furnish all Participants and Beneficiaries a summary of any material modification to the Plan or notice of discontinuance of the Plan and all other information required by ERISA to be furnished without charge.
Section 8.05    PARTICIPANT DIRECTION OF INVESTMENT.  The Plan Administrator shall establish rules governing the administration of Investment Funds and procedures for Participant direction of investment, including rules governing the timing, frequency and manner of making investment elections.  The Plan Administrator reserves the right to change the investment options available under the Plan (other than the Employer Common Stock Fund) and rules governing investment designations from time to time.  Nothing in this or any other provision of the Plan shall require the Trustee or the Plan Administrator to implement Participant investment directions or changes in such directions, or to establish any rules and procedures, other than on an administratively practicable basis.
Each Participant shall, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, direct that his Account and contributions thereto be invested and reinvested in any one or more of the Investment Funds.  The investment of any such monies shall be subject to such restrictions as the Plan Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, to be advisable or necessary under the circumstances.  Moreover, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, Participants may be permitted to change their current and prospective investment designations by phone or electronically.
The exercise of investment discretion by a Participant will not cause the Participant to be a fiduciary solely by reason of such exercise, and neither the Trustee nor any other fiduciary of this Plan will be liable for any loss or any breach that results from the exercise of investment 
52

discretion by the Participant.  The investment designation rules and procedures established under the Plan shall be and are intended to be in compliance with the requirements of ERISA Section 404(c) and the regulations thereunder.
In no event shall Participants be permitted to direct that any portion of their Accounts and/or any additional contributions be invested in the Employer Common Stock Fund until Cardinal Health, Inc., the Plan, the Trustee and all other relevant parties have fully complied with such requirements as the Plan Administrator has determined to be applicable, including, but not limited to, federal and state securities laws.  The Plan Administrator may restrict the ability of any person covered under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other corporate insider of the Employer to direct the investment of his Account in the Employer Common Stock Fund.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion and where required by the terms of any relevant investment contracts, regulated investment companies or pooled or group trusts, impose special terms, conditions and restrictions upon a Participant's right to direct the investment in, or transfer into or out of, such contracts, companies or trusts, or the timing or terms applicable to such transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries under the Plan shall be permitted to change their investment direction both as to future contributions to the Plan, if any, and with respect to existing Account balances, at any time.  Accordingly, there are no restrictions on the rights of a Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary to diversify any amounts credited to his or Account within the Employer Common Stock Fund.
Section 8.06    CHANGE OF INVESTMENT DESIGNATIONS.  Each Participant who is entitled to direct the investment of additional contributions to be allocated to his Account in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof may select how such additional contributions are to be invested.  Such investment directions shall be made in accordance with applicable rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator.
Each Participant may elect how amounts then held in his Account are to be reinvested in the various Investment Funds until otherwise changed or modified.  Such investment directions shall be made in accordance with applicable rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion and where required by the terms of any relevant investment contract, regulated investment companies or pooled or group trusts, or where ERISA fiduciary obligations and considerations so merit, impose special terms, conditions and restrictions upon a Participant's right to direct the investment in, or transfer into or out of, such contracts, companies or trusts.
Section 8.07    LITIGATION AGAINST THE TRUST.  If any legal action filed against the Trustee or the Plan Administrator, by or on behalf of any Participant or Beneficiary, results adversely to the Participant or to the Beneficiary, the Trustee shall reimburse itself and the Plan Administrator, all costs and fees expended by it or them by surcharging all costs and fees against the sums payable under the Plan to the Participant or to the Beneficiary, but only to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction specifically authorizes and directs any such surcharges and only to the extent Code Section 401(a)(13) does not prohibit any such surcharges.
Section 8.08    INFORMATION AVAILABLE.  Any Participant in the Plan or any Beneficiary may examine copies of the Plan, the Trust, the Plan's summary plan description, the latest annual report, any bargaining agreement, contract or any other instrument under which the Plan was established or is operated.  The Plan Administrator will maintain all of the items listed in this Section 8.08, as applicable, in its offices or in such other place or places as it may 
53

designate from time to time in order to comply with the regulations issued under ERISA, for examination during reasonable business hours.  Upon the written request of a Participant or Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator shall furnish him with a copy of any item listed in this Section 8.08.  The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge to the requesting person for the copy so furnished.

B.    APPEAL OF DENIED CLAIM.  If a claimant requests a review of a claim that was wholly or partially denied by the claims fiduciary, such review shall be conducted by the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator's decision upon review shall be made no later than 60 days following receipt of the written request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case the claimant shall be notified of the need for such extension of time prior to the expiration of such 60-day period.  In no event shall the Plan Administrator's decision upon review be made later than 120 days following receipt of the written request for review.  If a claim is wholly or

Section 8.11USE OF ALTERNATIVE MEDIA.  The Plan Administrator may include in any process or procedure for administering the Plan, the use of alternative media, including, but not limited to, telephonic, facsimile, computer or other such electronic means as available.  Use of such alternative media shall be deemed to satisfy any Plan provision requiring a "written" document or an instrument to be signed "in writing" to the extent permissible under the Code, ERISA and applicable regulations.

Amounts credited to such subaccounts shall be allocated among the Participant's designated investments on a reasonable pro rata basis, in accordance with the valuation procedures of the Trustee and the Investment Funds.  The Trustee and the Plan Administrator shall also establish rules and procedures that they may change from time to time, for the purpose of adjusting the subaccounts of a Participant's Account for withdrawals, loans, distributions and contributions.

58

therefor, together with a form requesting confidential instructions to the Trustee on how to vote the Shares credited to his Account.  Upon receipt of such instructions the Trustee shall vote the Shares as instructed.

A Participant or Beneficiary shall notify the Plan Administrator or the Trustee in writing if he believes there is any error in the statement of his Account in the Plan no more than one year after the date the statement was issued.  Each statement of a Participant's Account shall be deemed to be final and binding on the Participant or Beneficiary to whom it was issued upon the expiration of the one year period following the date the statement was issued.

ARTICLE X
TOP HEAVY RULES
Section 10.01    MINIMUM EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION.  If this Plan is "Top Heavy," as defined below, in any Plan Year, the Plan guarantees a minimum contribution (subject to the provisions of this Article X) of three percent of Compensation for each "Non-Key Employee," as defined below, who is a Participant employed by the Employer on the Accounting Date of the Plan Year without regard to Hours of Service completed during the Plan Year or to whether he has elected to make Compensation Deferral Contributions under Section 3.04, and who is not a Participant in a Top Heavy defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer.  Participants who also participate in a Top Heavy defined benefit plan of the Employer shall receive the required minimum benefit in the defined benefit plan rather than in this Plan.  The Plan satisfies the guaranteed minimum contribution for the Non-Key Employee if the Non-Key Employee's contribution rate is at least equal to the minimum contribution.  For purposes of this paragraph, a Non-Key Employee Participant includes any Employee otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan but who is not a Participant because his Compensation does not exceed a specified level.
If the contribution rate for the "Key Employee," as defined below, with the highest contribution rate is less than three percent, the guaranteed minimum contribution for Non-Key Employees shall equal the highest contribution rate received by a Key Employee.  The contribution rate is the sum of Employer contributions (not including Employer contributions to Social Security) and forfeitures allocated to the Participant's Account for the Plan Year divided by his "Compensation," as defined below, not in excess of the compensation limitation under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the Plan Year.  For purposes of determining the minimum contribution for a Plan Year, the Plan Administrator shall consider contributions made to any plan pursuant to a compensation reduction agreement or similar arrangement as Employer contributions.  To determine the contribution rate, the Plan Administrator shall consider all qualified Top Heavy defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer as a single plan.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 10.01, if a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer that benefits a Key Employee depends on this Plan to satisfy the anti-discrimination rules of Code Section 401(a)(4) or the coverage rules of Code Section 410 (or another plan benefiting the Key Employee so depends on such defined benefit plan), the guaranteed minimum contribution for a Non-Key Employee is three percent of his Compensation regardless of the contribution rate for the Key Employees.
The minimum Employer contribution required (to the extent required to be Nonforfeitable under Code Section 416(b)) may not be forfeited under Code Sections 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D).
Section 10.02    ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTION.  If the contribution rate (excluding Compensation Deferral Contributions) for the Plan Year with respect to a Non-Key Employee described in Section 10.01 is less than the minimum contribution, the Employer will increase its contribution for such Employee to the extent necessary so his contribution rate for the Plan Year will equal the guaranteed minimum contribution.  Matching Contributions will be taken into account to satisfy the minimum contribution requirement under the Plan, or if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan.  Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Code Section 401(m).  The additional contribution shall be allocated to the Account of a Non-Key Employee for whom the Employer makes the contribution.
Section 10.03    DETERMINATION OF TOP HEAVY STATUS.  The Plan is "Top  Heavy" for a Plan Year if the  Top Heavy ratio as of the "Determination Date" exceeds sixty 
60

percent (60%).  The Top Heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the present value of the Accounts of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date, and the denominator of which is a similar sum determined for all Employees.  For purposes of determining the present value of the Accounts for the foregoing fraction, contributions due as of the Determination Date and distributions made for any purpose within the one-year period ending on the Determination Date shall be included.  In addition, distributions made within the five-year period ending on the Determination Date shall be included if such distributions were made for reasons other than upon Severance from Employment, death or Total Disability (e.g., in-service withdrawals); provided, however, that no distribution shall be counted more than once.  In addition, the Top Heavy ratio shall be calculated by disregarding the Account (including distributions, if any, of the Account balance) of an individual who has not received credit for at least one Hour of Service with the Employer during the one-year period ending on the Determination Date in such calculation.  The Top Heavy ratio, including the extent to which it must take into account distributions, rollovers, and transfers, shall be calculated in accordance with Code Section 416 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
If the Employer maintains other qualified plans (including a simplified employee pension plan), this Plan is Top Heavy only if it is part of the Required Aggregation Group, and the Top Heavy ratio for both the Required Aggregation Group and the Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60%.  The Top Heavy ratio shall be calculated in the same manner as required by the first paragraph of this Section 10.03, taking into account all plans within the Aggregation Group.  To the extent distributions to a Participant must be taken into account, the Plan Administrator shall include distributions from a terminated plan that would have been part of the Required Aggregation Group if it were in existence on the Determination Date.  The present value of accrued benefits and the other amounts the Plan Administrator must take into account, under defined benefit plans or simplified employee pension plans included within the group, shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of those plans, Code Section 416 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  If an aggregated plan does not have a valuation date coinciding with the Determination Date, the accrued benefits or Accounts in the aggregated plan shall be valued as of the most recent valuation date falling within the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date.  The Top Heavy ratio shall be valued with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.
The accrued benefit of a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (a) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer, or (b) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).
Section 10.04    TOP HEAVY VESTING SCHEDULE.  For any Plan Year for which the Plan is Top Heavy, as determined in accordance with this Article X, the Participant's Nonforfeitable percentage of his Employer Contributions, Special Contributions and Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contributions shall be calculated by applying the following schedule, to the extent that such schedule provides for vesting at a rate that is more rapid than the rate otherwise applicable to the Participant's benefit:
						
	Years of Service	Percent Nonforfeitable
		
	Less than three (3)	0%

	At least three (3) or more	100%

61

Section 10.05    DEFINITIONS.  For purposes of applying the provisions of this Article X.
A."Key Employee" means any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was an officer of the Employer having annual Compensation greater than $185,000 (for 2020) and thereafter as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1)), a five-percent owner of the Employer, or a one-percent owner of the Employer having annual Compensation of more than $150,000.  The constructive ownership rules of Code Section 318 (or the principles of that section, in the case of an unincorporated Employer) will apply to determine ownership in the Employer.  The determination of who is a Key Employee shall be made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1) and the Treasury Regulations under that Code Section.
B."Non-Key Employee" is an Employee who does not meet the definition of Key Employee.
C."Compensation" shall mean the first $285,000 (for 2020) and thereafter as adjusted in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)) of Compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3), but including amounts contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement that are excludible from the Employee's gross income under Code Section 125, "deemed compensation" under Code Sections 125 pursuant to Revenue Ruling 2002-27, 132(f)(4), 402(a)(8), 402(h) or 403(b).
D."Required Aggregation Group" means:
(i)Each qualified plan of the Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates at any time during the five Plan Year period ending on the Determination Date; and
(ii)Any other qualified plan of the Employer that enables a plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or Code Section 410.
The Required Aggregation Group includes any plan of the Employer that was maintained within the last five years ending on the Determination Date on which a top heaviness determination is being made if such plan would otherwise be part of the Required Aggregation Group for the Plan Year but for the fact it has been terminated.
E."Permissive Aggregation Group" is the Required Aggregation Group plus any other qualified plans maintained by the Employer, but only if such group would satisfy in the aggregate the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) and Code Section 410.  The Plan Administrator shall determine which plans to take into account in determining the Permissive Aggregation Group.
F."Employer" shall mean all the members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code Section 414(b)), of a commonly controlled group of trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) (as defined in Code Section 414(c)), or an affiliated service group (as defined in Code Section 414(m)), of which the Employer is a part.  However, ownership interests in more than one member of a related group shall not be aggregated to determine whether an individual is a Key Employee because of his ownership interest in the Employer.
62

G."Determination Date" for any Plan Year is the Accounting Date of the preceding Plan Year or, in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan, the Accounting Date of that Plan Year.

ARTICLE XII
EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT, AMENDMENT, TERMINATION
Section 12.01    EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT.  Except as provided under Article III, the Employer shall have no beneficial interest in any asset of the Trust and no part of any asset in the Trust shall ever revert to or be repaid to the Employer, either directly or indirectly; nor prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to the Participants and their Beneficiaries under the Plan, shall any part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund, or any asset of the Trust, be (at any time) used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries.
Section 12.02    PLAN AMENDMENTS.  The Company may amend the Plan at any time and in any respect through a written resolution adopted or approved by the Board, or by: 

A.    the FBPC, with respect to any amendment that: (i) is required by law to maintain the tax-qualified status of the Plan, or (ii) when aggregated with any other amendment or amendments approved on the same date, is reasonably expected to have an annual financial impact on the Company of $5 million or less;

B.    the CHRO of the Company, with respect to any amendment that, when aggregated with any other amendment or amendments approved on the same date, is reasonably expected to have an annual financial impact on the Company of $20 million or less; or

C.    the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

However, no amendment shall authorize or permit any part of the Trust Fund (other than the part required to pay taxes and administrative expenses) to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries or estates.  No amendment shall cause or permit any portion of the Trust Fund to revert to or become a property of an Employer.  Furthermore, no amendment shall decrease a Participant's Account balance or accrued benefit or reduce or eliminate any benefits protected under Code Section 411(d)(6) with respect to a Participant with an Account balance or accrued benefit at the date of the amendment, except to the extent permitted under Code Section 412(d)(2) or other applicable law or regulation.
Section 12.03    AMENDMENT TO VESTING PROVISIONS.  Although the Company reserves the right to amend the vesting provisions at any time, an amended vesting schedule shall not be applied to reduce the Nonforfeitable percentage of any Participant's Account derived from Employer contributions (determined as of the later of the date the Company adopts the amendment, or the date the amendment becomes effective) to a percentage less than the Nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to the amendment.  An amended vesting schedule will apply to a Participant only if the Participant receives credit for at least one Hour of Service after the new schedule becomes effective.
If the Company makes a permissible amendment to the vesting provisions, each Participant having at least three Years of Service for vesting purposes with the Employer may elect to have the percentage of his Nonforfeitable Account Balance computed under the Plan without regard to the amendment.  The Participant must file his election with the Employer within 60 days of the latest of (a) the Company's adoption of the amendment; (b) the effective date of the amendment; or (c) his receipt of a copy of the amendment.  The Plan Administrator, as soon as practicable, shall forward a true copy of any amendment to the vesting schedule to each affected Participant, together with an explanation of the effect of the amendment, the appropriate form upon which the Participant may make an election to remain under the vesting 
65

schedule provided under the Plan prior to the amendment and notice of the time within which the Participant must make an election to remain under the prior vesting schedule.  The election described in this Section 12.03 does not apply to a Participant if the amended vesting schedule provides for vesting that is at least as rapid at all times as the vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment.  For purposes of this Section 12.03, an amendment to the vesting schedule includes any amendment that directly or indirectly affects the computation of the Nonforfeitable percentage of an Employee's rights to his Employer-derived Account.
Section 12.04    DISCONTINUANCE.  To the extent permitted by law, the Employer shall have the right, at any time, to suspend or discontinue its contributions under the Plan.  The Company (acting through the Human Resources and Compensation Committee or other designated committee of the Board) shall have the right to terminate, at any time, this Plan and the Trust Agreement described in Section 7.01 of the Plan.
Section 12.05    FULL VESTING ON TERMINATION.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, upon either full or partial termination of the Plan, or, if applicable, upon the date of complete discontinuance of contributions to the Plan, an affected Participant's right to his Account shall be 100% Nonforfeitable.
Section 12.06    MERGER AND DIRECT TRANSFER.  The Plan shall not be a party to any merger or consolidation with another plan, or to a transfer of assets or liabilities to another plan, unless immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, the surviving plan provides each Participant a benefit equal to or greater than the benefit each Participant would have received had the Plan terminated immediately before the merger or consolidation or transfer.
If the Plan receives a direct transfer (by merger or otherwise) of elective contributions (or amounts treated as elective contributions) under a plan with a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, the distribution restrictions of Code Sections 401(k)(2) and (10) continue to apply to those transferred elective contributions.  See Schedule II for restrictions for amount received (by merger or otherwise) from a money purchase pension plan.
Section 12.07    TERMINATION.  Upon termination of the Plan, the distribution provisions of Article IV and Article V shall remain operative, except that:
A.If the present value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account does not exceed $1,000, the Plan Administrator will direct the Trustee to distribute to the Participant the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account to him in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the Plan terminates; and
B.If the present value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account exceeds $1,000, the Participant or the Beneficiary, in addition to the distribution events permitted under Articles IV and V, may elect to have the Trustee commence distribution of his Nonforfeitable Account as soon as administratively practicable after the Plan terminates.
The Trust shall continue until the Trustee, after written direction from the Plan Administrator, has distributed all of the benefits under the Plan.  To liquidate the Trust, the Plan Administrator will, to the extent required, purchase a deferred annuity contract for each Participant that protects the Participant's distribution rights under the Plan, if the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account exceeds $1,000 ($5,000 prior to March 28, 2005), and the Participant does not elect an immediate distribution pursuant to this Section 12.07.  Upon termination of the Plan, the amount, if any, in a suspense account under Article IV shall revert to the Employer, subject to the conditions of the Treasury Regulations permitting such a reversion.

SCHEDULE II
ANNUITY DISTRIBUTIONS TO CERTAIN PARTICIPANTS
A.    APPLICATION OF QUALIFIED JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY PROVISIONS.  The provisions of Schedule II shall apply only to those Participants who (a) participated in the Packaging Coordinators, Inc. Money Purchase Pension Plan and have a portion of their Account derived from said plan, or (b) certain other individuals as may be identified in this Schedule II.  The Trustee shall distribute the Nonforfeitable Account balance of a Participant to whom this Section applies in the form of a "Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity," unless the Participant makes a valid waiver election (described in Section II.B below) within the 180-day period ending on the "Annuity Starting Date."  The Annuity Starting Date means the first day of the first period for which an amount is payable as an annuity or, in the case of a benefit not payable in the form of an annuity, the first day on which all events have occurred that entitle the Participant to such benefit.  A Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is an immediate annuity that is purchasable from a commercial insurer with the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance and which is payable for the life of the Participant with, if the Participant is married on the Annuity Starting Date, a survivor annuity for the life of the Participant's surviving Spouse equal to 50% of the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the Participant and his Spouse.  A "Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity" may also be elected by the Participant, which is an immediate annuity that is purchasable from a commercial insurer with the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance and which is payable for the life of the Participant with, if the Participant is married on the Annuity Starting Date, a survivor annuity for the life of the Participant's surviving Spouse equal to 75% of the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the Participant and his Spouse.  The Trustee shall pay the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance in a lump sum, in lieu of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, if the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance at the time distribution commences is not greater than $1,000.
If the Participant has in effect a valid waiver election regarding the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, the Trustee shall distribute the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Plan.  For purposes of applying this Schedule II, a former Spouse shall be treated as the Participant's Spouse or surviving Spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)).
B.    WAIVER ELECTION - QUALIFIED JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY.  With respect only to a Participant subject to this Schedule II, no less than 30 days (or seven days, if the 30-day period is waived by the Participant and the Participant's Spouse, if applicable), nor more than 180 days before the Participant's Annuity Starting Date, such Participant shall be provided with a written explanation of the terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, the Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity form of benefit, the rights of the Participant's Spouse regarding the waiver election, and the Participant's right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a waiver election.
A married Participant's waiver election is not valid unless:
(i)    The Participant's Spouse (to whom the survivor annuity is payable under the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity) has consented in 
71

writing to the waiver election, the Spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of the election, and a notary public or a Plan representative has witnessed the Spouse's consent; and
(ii)    If the Spouse is not the Participant's sole primary Beneficiary, the Spouse consents to the Participant's Beneficiary designation or to any change in the Participant's Beneficiary designation, or the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a married Participant's Spouse is not required to consent to a waiver election to the extent spousal consent is not required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)-20, Q&A-27, or other applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service.  A married Participant's waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity form of benefit shall not be effective unless the election designates a form of benefit payment that may not be changed without spousal consent (or the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent).  Any consent by a Spouse obtained under this provision shall be effective only with respect to such Spouse.  A consent that permits designations by a married Participant without any requirement of further consent by such Spouse must acknowledge that the Spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the Spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both of such rights.  A revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a married Participant without the consent of the Spouse at any time before the commencement of benefits.  The number of revocations shall not be limited.  No consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless the Participant has received notice as provided in this Schedule II.  The Spouse's consent to a waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is irrevocable unless the Participant revokes the waiver election.
C.    DISTRIBUTION BEGINNING AFTER DEATH OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATING PRIOR TO JULY 1, 1998.  If a married Participant dies prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Trustee shall distribute the married Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance to the Participant's surviving Spouse as a "Preretirement Survivor Annuity," unless the Participant has made a valid waiver election pursuant to Section II.D.  An unmarried Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance shall be payable to his designated Beneficiary.
The Preretirement Survivor Annuity is an annuity payable to the Participant's surviving Spouse for life.  The Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance shall be applied to the purchase of an annuity for the surviving Spouse's life.  The surviving Spouse may elect to have such annuity distributed within a reasonable period after the Participant's death.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance at the time the distribution commences is not greater than $1,000, the Participant's Nonforfeitable Account Balance shall be paid in a single lump sum to the Participant's surviving Spouse or other Beneficiary in lieu of a Preretirement Survivor Annuity as soon as administratively practicable after his death.
If the Participant is unmarried or has waived the Preretirement Survivor Annuity in accordance with Section II.D, and dies before distribution of his Nonforfeitable 
72

Account Balance begins, distribution of the Participant's entire Nonforfeitable Account Balance shall be made in a single lump sum payment in cash by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.
If the designated Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving Spouse, the date such distributions are required to begin shall not be earlier than the later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or (ii) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age MA.  If the Beneficiary is not the Participant's surviving Spouse, distribution of the entire amount payable must be completed on or before the last day of the calendar year that contains the fifth anniversary of the date of the Participant's death.
A Participant may also elect the form and timing of payment of his Nonforfeitable Account Balance to his Beneficiaries.  If the Participant has not made an election concerning the manner of payment to his Beneficiary by the time of his death, the Participant's surviving Spouse or designated Beneficiary must elect the method of distribution no later than the time when distributions would be required to begin under this Section II.C.  If the Participant has no surviving Spouse or designated Beneficiary, or if the designated Beneficiary does not elect a method of distribution, distribution of the Participant's entire Nonforfeitable Account Balance must be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.
D.    WAIVER ELECTION FOR MARRIED PARTICIPANTS.  A written explanation of the Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be provided to each married Participant to whom this Section II.D applies, within whichever of the following periods ends last: (i) the period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 32 and ending on the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 34; (ii) a reasonable period after an Employee becomes a Participant; (iii) a reasonable period after the joint and survivor rules become applicable to the Participant; or (iv) a reasonable period after a fully subsidized Preretirement Survivor Annuity no longer satisfies the requirements for a fully subsidized benefit.  A reasonable period described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) is the period beginning one year before and ending one year after the applicable event.  If the Participant separates from Service before attaining age 35, clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) do not apply, and the written explanation shall be provided within the period beginning one year before and ending one year after the Severance from Employment.  The written explanation shall describe, in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulations, the terms and conditions of the Preretirement Survivor Annuity in a manner that is comparable to the explanation of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity required under this Schedule II.  The Plan does not limit the number of times the Participant may revoke a waiver of the Preretirement Survivor Annuity or make a new waiver during the election period.
A Participant's waiver election of the Preretirement Survivor Annuity is not valid unless (a) the Participant makes the waiver election no earlier than the first day of the Plan Year in which he attains age 35, and (b) the Participant's Spouse (to whom the Preretirement Survivor Annuity is payable) satisfies the consent requirements described in this Schedule II, except the Spouse need not consent to the form of benefit payable to the designated Beneficiary.  The Spouse's consent to the waiver of the Preretirement Survivor Annuity is irrevocable, unless the Participant revokes the waiver election.
73

Notwithstanding the time of election requirement of clause (a) above, a Participant who will not yet attain age 35 as of the end of any current Plan Year may make a special qualified election to waive the Preretirement Survivor Annuity for the period beginning on the date of such election and ending on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant will attain age 35.  Such election will not be valid unless the Participant receives a written explanation of the Preretirement Survivor Annuity in a manner that is comparable to the explanation required under Section II.B.  Preretirement Survivor Annuity coverage will be automatically reinstated as of the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35.  Any new waiver on or after such date shall be subject to the full requirements of this Section II.D.
E.    For purposes of this Section II.E, any amount paid to a child of the Participant will be treated as if it had been paid to the surviving Spouse if the amount becomes payable to the surviving Spouse when the child reaches the age of majority.
F.    The life expectancy multiples under Treasury Regulation Section 1.72-9 shall be used for purposes of applying this Section.  The life expectancy of the Participant's surviving Spouse may be recalculated not more frequently than annually, but the life expectancy of a nonspouse designated Beneficiary may not be recalculated after the Trustee commences payment to the designated Beneficiary.
G.    The provisions of this Schedule II shall be administered in conformance with the requirements of Section 5.05 of the Plan.
74

SCHEDULE III
LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS
Section III.01     DOLLAR LIMITATIONS ON ELECTIVE DEFERRALS.
A.    Definitions:
(i)    "Elective Deferrals" means any Employer contributions made to the Plan at the election of the Participant, in lieu of cash compensation, and shall include contributions made pursuant to a compensation reduction agreement or other deferral mechanism.  With respect to any taxable year, a Participant's Elective Deferral is the sum of all employer contributions made on behalf of such Participant pursuant to an election to defer under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement as described in Code Section 401(k), including Roth contributions, any simplified employee pension cash or deferred arrangement as described in Code Section 402(h)(1)(B), any SIMPLE IRA described in Code Section 408(p), any eligible deferred compensation plan under Code Section 457, any plan as described under Code Section 501(c)(18), and any employer contributions made on the behalf of a Participant for the purchase of an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b) pursuant to a compensation reduction agreement.
(ii)    "Excess Elective Deferrals" means those Elective Deferrals for a taxable year that exceed the dollar limitation under such Code section.  Excess Elective Deferrals shall be treated as Annual Additions under the Plan, except to the extent they are distributed pursuant to Section III.01.C below.  To the extent that any Excess Elective Deferrals result from a combination of pre-tax Compensation Deferral Contributions and Roth Contributions under this Plan, the Participant shall have the option of designating whether pre-tax Compensation Deferral Contributions or Roth Contributions shall be first reduced to eliminate such Excess Elective Deferrals.  If the Participant does not so designate, Excess Elective Deferrals shall be distributed first from pre-tax Compensation Deferral Contributions.
B.    Prohibition of Deferrals in Excess of Code Section 402(g) Dollar Limitations.  No Participant shall be permitted to have Elective Deferrals made under this Plan, or any other qualified plan, during any taxable year, in excess of the dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g) (as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living) in effect at the beginning of such taxable year, except to the extent Catch-Up Contributions are permitted to be made to the Plan, as described in Code Section 414(v), or, effective for Plan Years on or after January 1, 2006, such Elective Deferrals are made by reason of a Participant's Qualified Military Service under Code Section 414(u).
C.    Distribution of Excess Elective Deferrals.  A Participant may assign to this Plan any Excess Elective Deferrals made during a taxable year of the 
75

Participant by notifying the Plan Administrator on or before March 15 of the following taxable year of the amount of the Excess Elective Deferrals to be assigned to the Plan.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Excess Elective Deferrals, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than April 15 to any Participant to whose Account Excess Elective Deferrals were assigned for the preceding year and who claims Excess Elective Deferrals for such taxable year.
D.    Determination of Income or Loss.  Excess Elective Deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or loss.  Such adjustments shall include any income or loss through the end of the Plan Year in which the excess arose.  For corrective distributions that are made for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2007, such adjustments shall also include any income or loss for the period from the end of the taxable year in which the excess arose up to the date of distribution (the "Gap Period").  Gap Period adjustments shall not be made for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2008.  For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2007, Gap Period adjustments are made only in the discretion of the Plan Administrator.  The income or loss allocable to Excess Elective Deferrals is the sum of (i) income or loss allocable to the Participant's Elective Deferral Account for the taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant's Excess Elective Deferrals for the year and the denominator of which is the Participant's Account balance attributable to Elective Deferrals without regard to any income or loss occurring during such taxable year; and (ii) if the distribution is to be adjusted for income or loss during the Gap Period, ten percent of the amount determined under (i) multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the end of the Participant's taxable year and the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th day of such month.  Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may determine the income or loss allocable to Excess Elective Deferrals under any reasonable method that does not violate the general nondiscrimination rules of Code Section 401(a)(4), is used consistently for all Participants and for all such corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating income to Participants' Accounts.
Participants who claim Excess Elective Deferrals for the preceding taxable year must submit their claims in writing to the Plan Administrator by March 15 of the calendar year following the Plan Year in which such Excess Elective Deferrals are claimed to have been made.
Section III.02     ANNUAL ADDITIONS - DEFINITIONS.  For purposes of Section III.03 of this Schedule III, the following definitions and rules of interpretation shall apply:
A.    "Annual Additions" are the sum of the following amounts credited to a Participant's Account for any Limitation Year:
(i)    Compensation Deferral Contributions (including Roth Contributions), Safe Harbor Matching Contributions, Non-Safe 
76

Harbor Matching Contributions, and Qualified Matching Contributions;
(ii)    Employer Contributions, Special Contributions, any contributions provided in an applicable Appendix and Qualified Non-elective Contributions, if any;
(iii)    Forfeitures, if any; and
(iv)    Excess amounts reapplied to reduce Employer contributions under Section III.03.
Except to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, Annual Additions include any excess contributions described in Code Section 401(k), excess aggregate contributions described in Code Section 401(m), and excess deferrals described in Code Section 402(g), irrespective of whether the Plan distributes or forfeits such excess amounts.  Annual Additions also include amounts allocated to an individual medical account (as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2)) included as part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer.  Furthermore, Annual Additions include contributions attributable to post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a Key Employee (as defined in Code Section 419(A)(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit fund (Code Section 419(e)) maintained by the Employer.  However, Annual Additions do not include Restorative Payments allocated to a Participant's Account. "Restorative Payments" are payments made to restore some or all of the Plan's losses due to an action (or failure to act) by a Plan fiduciary that creates a reasonable risk of liability for a breach of fiduciary duty (other than a breach of fiduciary duty arising from failure to remit contributions to the Plan) under Title I of ERISA or under other applicable federal or state law so long as Participants who are similarly situated are treated similarly with respect to the payments.  Restorative Payments include, but are not limited to payments to the Plan made pursuant to a Department of Labor order, the Department of Labor's Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program, or a court-approved settlement, to restore losses to the Plan on account of a breach of fiduciary duty (other than a breach of fiduciary duty arising from failure to remit contributions to the Plan).  In addition, dividends paid by an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) and reinvested in the ESOP under Code Section 404(k)(2)(A)(iii)(II) are not Annual Additions.
An Annual Addition is credited to a Participant's Account for a Limitation Year if it is allocated to the Participant's Account under the terms of the Plan as of any date within that Limitation year.  Similarly, an Annual Addition that is made pursuant to a corrective amendment that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(4)-11(g) is credited to a Participant's Account for a Limitation Year if it is allocated to the Participant's Account under the terms of the corrective amendment as of any date within that Limitation Year.  However, if the allocation of an Annual Addition is dependent upon the satisfaction of a condition (such as continued employment or the occurrence of an event) that has not been satisfied by the date as of which the Annual Addition is allocated under 
77

the terms of the Plan, the Annual Addition is considered allocated as of the date the condition is satisfied.
Compensation Deferral Contributions, Matching Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions, Profit Sharing Contributions, Special Contributions provided in an applicable appendix and Qualified Non-elective Contributions, if any, are not treated as credited to a Participant's Account for a Limitation Year unless the contributions are actually made to the Plan no later than 30 days after the end of the period described in Code Section 404(a)(6) applicable to the taxable year with or within which the Limitation Year ends.  If contributions are made to the Plan after the end of the period during which contributions can be made and treated as credited to a Participant's Account for a Limitation Year, allocations attributable to those contributions are treated as credited to the Participant's Account for the Limitation Year during which those contributions are made.  A forfeiture is treated as an Annual Addition for the Limitation Year that contains the date as of which it is allocated to a Participant's Account as a forfeiture.  If the Employer contributes an amount to a Participant's Account with respect to a prior Limitation Year and such contribution is required by reason of such Participant's rights under Code Section 414(u)(1), then such contribution is considered an Annual Addition for the Limitation Year to which the contribution relates instead of the Limitation Year in which the contribution is made.
If an amount is allocated to a Participant's Account in a Limitation Year because of an erroneous forfeiture in a prior Limitation Year or because of an erroneous failure to allocate amounts in a prior Limitation Year, the corrective allocation will not be considered an Annual Addition with respect to the Participant for the Limitation Year in which the correction occurs, but will be considered an Annual Addition for the Limitation Year to which it relates.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, if the amount so contributed in the Limitation Year takes into account actual investment gains attributable to the period subsequent to the year to which the contribution relates, the portion of the total contribution that consists of such gains is not considered an Annual Addition for any Limitation Year.
B.    "Company."  Any corporation that is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code Section 414(b) as modified by Code Section 415(h)) that includes Cardinal Health, Inc., or any trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common control (as defined in Code Section 414(c) as modified by Code Section 415(h)) with Cardinal Health, Inc., or a member of an affiliated service group (as defined in Code Section 414(m)) that includes Cardinal Health, Inc., or any other entity required to be aggregated with Cardinal Health, Inc., pursuant to regulations under Code Section 414(o).
C.    "Compensation."  For Limitation Years on and after January 1, 2016:  With respect to the Limitation Year means Compensation as defined in Section 1.08 of the Plan.  For purposes of applying the limitations of this Schedule III, Compensation for a Limitation Year is the Compensation actually paid or includible in gross income during such Limitation Year.  
78

Payments awarded by an administrative agency or court or pursuant to a bona fide agreement by the Employer to compensate an Employee for lost wages are Compensation for the Limitation Year to which the back pay relates, but only to the extent such payments represent Compensation that would otherwise be Compensation under this Section III.02.C.
If a Participant is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)), the Participant's Compensation means the Compensation the Participant would have received for the year if the Participant were paid at the rate of Compensation paid immediately before becoming permanently and totally disabled, if such Compensation is greater than the Participant's Compensation determined without regard to this paragraph.  However, this paragraph applies only if the Participant is not a Highly Compensated Employee immediately before becoming disabled and contributions made with respect to amounts treated as Compensation under this paragraph are Nonforfeitable when made.
D.    "Defined Benefit Plan."  A retirement plan that does not provide for individual accounts for Employer contributions.  The Plan Administrator shall treat all Defined Benefit Plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer as a single plan.
E.    "Defined Contribution Plan."  A retirement plan that provides for an individual account for each participant and for benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the participant's account, and any income, expenses, gains and losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other participants that the Plan Administrator may allocate to such Participant's account.  The Plan Administrator shall treat as a Defined Contribution Plan an individual medical account (as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2)) included as part of a Defined Benefit Plan maintained by the Employer and a welfare benefit fund under Code Section 419(e) maintained by the Employer to the extent there are post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3)).  The Plan Administrator shall treat all Defined Contribution Plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer as a single plan.
F.    "Limitation Year."  The Plan Year.
G.    "Maximum Permissible Amount."  For a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2002, the maximum permissible amount with respect to any Participant shall be the lesser of:
(i)    $40,000 (as adjusted in accordance with Code Section 415(d)), or
(ii)    100% of the Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year.
The Compensation limit set forth in (ii) above shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after Severance from Employment (within the meaning of Code Section 401(h) or Code Section 419(f)(2)), which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition.  If there is a short Limitation Year because of a change in Limitation Year, the Plan 
79

Administrator will multiply the $40,000 limitation (or larger limitation) by the following fraction: number of months in the short Limitation Year/12.
H.    "Projected Annual Benefit."  The annual retirement benefit (adjusted to an actuarially equivalent straight life annuity if the plan expresses such benefit in a form other than a straight life annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity) to which a Participant would be entitled under a Defined Benefit Plan on the assumptions that he continues employment until normal retirement age (or current age, if that is later) thereunder, that his Compensation continues at the same rate as in effect for the Limitation Year under consideration until such age, and that all other relevant factors used to determine benefits under the Defined Benefit Plan remain constant as of the current Limitation Year for all future Limitation Years.
I.    Required Plan Aggregation.  For purposes of applying the limitations of Code Section 415(b), (c) and (e) applicable to a Participant for a particular Limitation Year, all qualified Defined Benefit Plans (without regard to whether a plan has been terminated) ever maintained by the Company will be treated as one Defined Benefit Plan and all qualified Defined Contribution Plans (without regard to whether a plan has been terminated) ever maintained by the Company will be treated as part of this Plan.
Section III.03     ANNUAL ADDITION – LIMITATIONS.  The amount of the Annual Addition that may be credited under this Plan to any Participant's Account as of any allocation date shall not exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount reduced by the sum of any credits of Annual Additions made to the Participant's Account under all Defined Contribution Plans as of any preceding allocation date within the Limitation Year.
If an allocation date of this Plan coincides with an allocation date of any other qualified Defined Contribution Plan maintained by the Company, the amount of the Annual Additions that may be credited under this Plan to any Participant's Account as of such date shall be an amount equal to the product of the amount to be credited under this Plan without regard to this Schedule III multiplied by the lesser of one or a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount described in this Section III.03 during the Limitation Year and the denominator of which is the amount that would otherwise be credited on this allocation date under all Defined Contribution Plans without regard to this Schedule III.
If contributions to this Plan on behalf of a Participant are to be reduced prior to their contribution to the Plan as a result of this Schedule III, such reduction shall be effected by first reducing the amount of any Compensation Deferral Contributions (along with any corresponding Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contributions) on behalf of such Participant, and then, if necessary, by reducing the Employer Contributions that would otherwise have been allocated to a Participant's Account.  If, as a result of either (a) the allocation of forfeitures, (b) a reasonable error in estimating a Participant's Compensation, (c) a reasonable error in determining the amount of Compensation Deferral Contributions that may be made for the Participant under Code Section 415, or (d) under the limited facts and circumstances that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue finds justify the availability of the rules set forth in Sections III.03.A – D, the allocation of Annual Additions under the terms of the Plan for a particular Participant would cause 
80

the limitations of Code Section 415 applicable to that Participant for the Limitation Year to be exceeded, the excess amounts shall not be deemed to be Annual Additions in that Limitation Year if they are treated as follows:
A.    The excess amounts in the Participant's Account consisting of Compensation Deferral Contributions and any gains attributable thereto shall be paid to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible.  Any amount so distributed shall be disregarded for purposes of complying with the requirements of Code Section 402(g), the Actual Deferral Percentage test of Code Section 401(k)(3) and the Actual Contribution Percentage test of Code Section 401(m)(2).
B.    The excess amounts in the Participant's Account consisting of Employer Contributions and Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contributions provided in Schedule IV shall be used to reduce Employer Contributions and Matching Contributions provided in an applicable Appendix respectively for the next Limitation Year (and succeeding Limitation Years, as necessary) for that Participant if that Participant is covered by the Plan as of the end of the Limitation Year.  However, if that Participant is not covered by the Plan as of the end of the Limitation Year, then the excess amounts must be held unallocated in a suspense account for the Limitation Year and allocated and reallocated in the next Limitation Year to all of the remaining Participants in the Plan.  If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a particular Limitation Year, other than the first Limitation Year described in the preceding sentence, all amounts in the suspense account must be allocated and reallocated to Participants' Accounts (subject to the limitations of Code Section 415) before any contributions that would constitute Annual Additions may be made to the Plan for that Limitation Year.  Furthermore, the excess amounts must be used to reduce Employer Contributions and Matching Contributions provided in Schedule IV for the next Limitation Year (and succeeding Limitation Years, as necessary) for all of the remaining Participants in the Plan.  For purposes of this Section III.03.B, except as provided in Section III.03.A, excess amounts may not be distributed to Participants or Former Participants.
C.    In the event of termination of the Plan, the suspense account described above shall revert to the Company to the extent it may not then be allocated to any Participant's Account.
D.    Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Schedule III, the Company shall not contribute any amount that would cause an allocation to the suspense account as of the date the contribution is allocated.  If the contribution is made prior to the date as of which it is to be allocated, then such contribution shall not exceed an amount that would cause an allocation to the suspense account if the date of contribution were an allocation date.
E.    If a Participant's Annual Additions would result in an excess amount for a Limitation Year, the excess amount will be deemed to consist of the Annual Additions last allocated except that Annual Additions attributable 
81

to a welfare benefit fund will be deemed to have been allocated first regardless of the actual allocation date.
The correction methods set forth in Sections III.03.A – E above are not available for Limitation Years beginning on and after January 1, 2008.  For Limitation Years beginning on and after January 1, 2008, corrections for excess Annual Additions shall be made in a manner consistent with the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System ("EPCRS") issued by the Internal Revenue Service, as in effect from time to time.
In any Plan Year in which the Plan Administrator deems it necessary to do so to meet the requirements of this Section or the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the Plan Administrator may further reduce the amount of Compensation Deferral Contributions that may be made to a Participant's Account.  The rules under Code Section 415(j) shall apply as appropriate for Limitation Years that begin on or after January 1, 2008.  In no event shall a Participant's benefit be double counted in the application of these aggregation rules.  The limitations of this Section III.03 shall be determined and applied taking into account the aggregation rules provided herein, and the aggregation rules not otherwise provided in the Section, as incorporated by reference from Treasury Regulations Section 1.415(f)-1.  However, any increase in benefits resulting from the application of such rules in effect as of a Limitation Year beginning on or after January 1, 2008, shall apply only to Participants who have completed at least one (1) Hour of Service with the Employer after December 31, 2007.

86

SCHEDULE V
ADDITIONAL ESOP REQUIREMENTS

1.01.    Diversification Requirements.

(a)    Not An Applicable Defined Contribution Plan.  For periods during which the Plan is not an applicable defined contribution plan within the meaning of Code Section 401(a)(35), each "qualified participant" may elect within 90 days after the close of each Plan Year in the "qualified election period" to direct in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator the investment of at least 25 percent of the Participant's Account in the Plan (to the extent such portion exceeds the amount to which a prior election under this Section 1.01(a) of Schedule V applies) to one or more of at least three Investment Funds.  In the case of the election year in which the Participant can make his last election, the preceding sentence shall be applied by substituting "50 percent" for "25 percent."  "Qualified participant" means any Employee who has completed at least 10 years of participation under the Plan and has attained age 55.  "Qualified election period" means the six-Plan Year period beginning with the first Plan Year in which individual first became a "qualified participant".

The Plan shall offer at least three Investment Fund options as alternatives to the Employer Common Stock Fund.  Each such alternative Investment Fund shall be diversified and shall have materially different risk and return characteristics.

(b)    Applicable Defined Contribution Plan.  The provisions of this Section 1.01(b) of Schedule V shall apply to any investment in Shares if such stock is publicly-traded or treated as publicly-traded under Code Section 401(a)(35).  Shares that are not publicly-traded shall be treated as publicly-traded securities if the Company or any member of its controlled group (determined as provided in Code Section 414(b), but substituting 50 percent for 80 percent) has issued publicly-traded securities, unless neither the Company nor its parent company has issued either (i) publicly-traded securities or (ii) a special class of stock that grants particular rights to or bears particular risks for the holder or issuer with respect to any member of the controlled group.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant (or Beneficiary or alternate payee) whose Account is invested, in whole or in part, in the Employer Common Stock Fund shall be permitted to divest such investments and reinvest such Account in other Investment Funds provided under the Plan.

The Plan shall offer at least three Investment Fund options as alternatives to the Employer Common Stock Fund.  Each such alternative Investment Fund shall be diversified and shall have materially different risk and return characteristics.

87

The Plan shall not be treated as meeting the requirements of this Section 1.01(b) of Schedule V if the Plan imposes any restrictions or conditions on investment in the Employer Common Stock Fund that do not also apply to investment in the other Investment Funds (other than any restrictions or conditions imposed by reason of the application of securities laws or as otherwise provided in applicable guidance).

1.02    Special Provisions if Shares are Not Readily Tradable on an Established Market. The following provisions apply only if the Shares are not readily tradable on an established market (within the meaning of Code Section 409(h)).

(a)    Trustee's Right of First Refusal on Distributed Company Stock

If the Shares are not readily tradable on an established market, Shares distributed by the Trustee shall be subject to a "right of first refusal."  The right of first refusal shall provide that, prior to any transfer of Shares by a Participant receiving a distribution, the Shares must first be offered for purchase in writing to the Company, and then, if refused by the Company, to the Trustee, at the Share's then fair market value.  A bona fide written offer from an independent and unrelated buyer shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the Shares.  The Company and the Trustee shall have fourteen (14) days to exercise their rights of first refusal on the same terms offered by an independent and unrelated buyer.  In no event shall the Company or the Trustee pay less than the greater of the price offered by an unrelated party or the fair market value of the Shares determined in the most recent appraisal obtained by the Trustee.  The Company may require that a Participant (or Beneficiary or alternate payee) entitled to a distribution of Shares under the Plan execute an appropriate stock transfer agreement which recognizes and includes the terms of the right of first refusal prior to receiving Shares.

Shares held or distributed by the Trustee may include such legend restrictions on transferability as the Company may reasonably require in order to assure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and legend restrictions reflecting the right of first refusal described in this Section 1.02(a) of Schedule V.  Aside from the restrictions described herein, no Shares may be subject to restrictions on transferability or call options, except to the extent that a Participant may agree to place restrictions upon any Shares that he is entitled to receive from the Trust.

The provisions of this Section 1.02(a) of Schedule V shall apply only to Shares held or distributed by the Trustee during any period when such Shares are not readily tradable on an established market and shall continue to apply even if the Plan ceases to be an employee stock ownership plan under Code Section 4975(e)(7).

88

(b)    Put Option on Distributed Shares

If the Shares are not readily tradable on an established market, the Company shall issue a put option to any Participant who receives a distribution of Shares from the Trust.  The put option shall permit the Participant to sell distributed Shares to the Company at any time during two option periods, at the fair market value at the date of exercise of the option.  The first put option period shall be a period of at least sixty (60) days beginning on the date of distribution of the Shares to the Participant.  The second put option period shall be a period of at least sixty (60) days beginning after the next determination of the fair market value of the Shares by the Trustee through independent appraisal (and notice to the Participant) in the Plan Year following the distribution.

The Employer may permit the Trustee to purchase Shares tendered to the Company under a put option.  The payment for Shares sold pursuant to a put option shall be made in a lump sum within 30 days of exercise of the put option or in substantially equal, annual installments over a period not exceeding five (5) years, with interest payable at a reasonable rate on any unpaid installment balance and with the provision of adequate security for the installment payments.  Installment payments made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall commence within 30 days of exercise of the put option.

For the purposes of this Section 1.02(b) of Schedule V, fair market value shall mean the value of the Shares as determined by independent appraisal on the Valuation Date preceding or coinciding with the date of exercise of the put option.

The Employer or the Trustee may offer to purchase any Shares (which are not sold pursuant to a put option) from any Former Participant at any time.

The provisions of this Section 1.02(b) of Schedule V shall apply only to Shares held or distributed by the Trustee during any period when the Shares are not readily tradable on an established market and shall continue to apply even if the Plan ceases to be an employee stock ownership plan under Code Section 4975(e)(7).

1.03    Independent Appraiser.  If the Shares are not readily tradable on an established securities market, all valuations of the Shares shall be made by an independent appraiser meeting the requirements similar to the requirements of the regulations under Code Section 170(a)(1).

89

1.04    No Purchase Obligation.  The Plan shall not obligate itself to acquire Shares from a particular security holder at an indefinite time determined upon the happening of an event such as the death of the holder.

1.05    Transaction Valuation Date.  The valuation date for any transaction between the Plan and a disqualified person (within the meaning of Code Section 4975) shall be the date of the transaction.
