Emergency. The distribution shall be limited to the amount necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable
Emergency (including any applicable federal, state or local taxes attributable to such
distribution), and shall not exceed the current value of the Participants vested Account balance.
The determination of the existence of an Unforeseeable Emergency and the approval of an
Unforeseeable Emergency distribution shall be made by the Committee. Approval shall be given only
if, taking into account all of the facts and circumstances, failure to grant such request would
result in a severe financial hardship to the Participant or Beneficiary. Approval shall not be
granted if such hardship is or may be relieved through insurance, by liquidation of his or her
assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship). The
amount of payment permitted hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount permitted under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(3)(ii), or its successor.

10. Investments.

     10.01 On each Valuation Date, for each Participant, the Corporation shall determine in which
of the Investment Funds under Article 9 of the RSP the accounts of the Participant under the RSP
were invested for that Valuation Date. The Corporation shall then credit the Participant
Supplementary Company Retirement Account and Supplementary Savings Account to reflect (i) earnings
or expenses and recognized gains or losses of the Investment Funds since the preceding Valuation
Date and (ii) any adjustments reflecting a revaluation in the total fair market value of the
Investment Funds that have been made by the Trustee under the RSP, as if the Participant’s
Supplementary Company Retirement Account had been invested in the same proportion and manner as his
Company Retirement Account under the RSP, and as if his Supplementary Savings Account had been
invested in the same proportion and manner as his Savings Account under the RSP. The Committee may
instead offer Participants different investment funds options than the Investment Funds offered
under the RSP or allow Participants to invest their Accounts under the Plan in a different manner
than then manner in which the Participants invest their accounts under the RSP.

11. Unfunded Status.

     11.01 All benefits payable under this Excess Plan to or on behalf of Participants who were
employed by the Corporation shall be paid from the general assets of the Corporation and all
benefits payable to or on behalf of Participants who were employed by any Company which has adopted
this Excess Plan shall be paid from the general assets of such Company. If the Corporation or any
Company which has adopted this Excess Plan, in its sole discretion, establishes a fund or account
for the payment of benefits hereunder, the Participant, his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or any
other person shall not have, under any circumstances, any interest whatever in such fund or account
or in any particular property or assets of the Corporation or of such Company by virtue of this
Excess Plan, and the rights of the Participant, his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries or any other
person who may claim a right to receive benefits under this Excess Plan shall at all times be no
greater than the rights of a general unsecured

6

 

creditor of the Corporation or of such Company. The Participant shall not be entitled to any
payments from the trust fund maintained under the RSP on the basis of any benefits to which he may
be entitled under this Excess Plan.

     11.02 If the Committee shall find that a Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary is
unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, the
Committee may direct that any payment due him, unless claim therefor shall have been made by a duly
appointed legal representative, shall be paid to his spouse, a child, a parent or other blood
relative or to a person with whom he resides, and any such payment so made shall be in complete
discharge of the liabilities of Excess Plan therefor.

     11.03 Subject to all applicable laws relating to unclaimed property, if the Committee mails by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the last known address of a Participant or
Beneficiary, a notification that he is entitled to a distribution hereunder, and if the
notification is returned by the United States Postal Service as being undeliverable because the
addressee cannot be located at the address indicated and if the Committee has no knowledge of such
Participant’s or Beneficiary’s whereabouts within 3 years from the date the notification was
mailed, or if within 3 years from the date the notification was mailed to such Participant or
Beneficiary he does not respond thereto by informing the Committee of his whereabouts, then, and in
either of said events, upon the December 31 coincident with or next succeeding the third
anniversary of the mailing of such notification, the undistributed amount in the Supplementary
Company Retirement Account of such Participant or Beneficiary shall be paid to the person or
persons who would have been entitled to take such share in the event of the death of the
Participant or Beneficiary whose whereabouts are unknown, assuming that such death occurred as of
the December 31 coincident with or next succeeding the third anniversary of the mailing of such
notification.

     11.04 No Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary or any other person shall have any
interest in or right under the Excess Plan in any part of the assets or earnings held in the RSP
Trust or in any other trust established by the Corporation.

     11.05 Whenever in the administration of the Excess Plan action is required, such action shall
be uniform in nature as applied to all persons similarly situated, and no such action shall be
taken which shall discriminate in favor of Employees who are officers, shareholders or highly
compensated Employees.

     11.06 Any action by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Excess Plan may be
evidenced by written instrument executed by any person authorized by the Committee to take such
action, and any fiduciaries shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any such written
instrument received by them.

12. Claims Procedures.

     12.01 Filing A Claim. It is intended that the benefits under the Excess Plan to which a
Participant is entitled be paid at the time provided for their distribution without the Participant
being required to make a claim for such benefits. If, however, a Participant or Beneficiary
(“Claimant”) does not receive the benefits which the Claimant believes he or she is entitled to

7

 

receive under the Excess Plan, the Claimant may file a claim for benefits with the Committee.
A claim shall be made by filing a written request with the Committee on a form provided by the
Committee, which shall be delivered to the Committee and, in the case of a request for a
distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency, be accompanied by such substantiation of the
claim as the Committee considers necessary and reasonable. If the claims procedure form made
available by the Committee does not contain information on where to file the claim, the claim may
be submitted to the human resources office at the site where the Claimant is employed.

     12.02 Denied Claims. If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the Claimant shall receive a
written or electronic notice explaining the denial of the claim within ninety (90) days after the
Committee’s receipt of the claim. The Committee may appoint one or more persons or a committee of
one or more persons to act as the claims administrator for the Excess Plan. If the Committee (or
its delegate) determines that for reasons beyond its control, a ninety (90) day extension of time
is necessary to process the claim, the Claimant shall be notified in writing of the extension and
reason for the extension within ninety (90) days after the Committee (or its delegate)’s receipt of
the claim. The written extension notification shall also indicate the date by which the Committee
(or its delegate) expects to render a final decision. A notice of denial of claim shall contain
the following: the specific reason or reasons for the denial; reference to the specific provisions
of the Excess Plan on which the denial is based; a description of any additional materials or
information necessary for such Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary; and a description of the Excess Plan’s review procedures and
the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to
bring a civil action under Section 502(c) of ERISA following an adverse determination on review.

     12.03 Review of Denied Claims. To request a review of a denied claim, a Claimant must file a
written request for review within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice of the denial.
The Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other relevant information in
support of the claim. A Claimant shall be provided, upon request and without charge, reasonable
access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s
claim. A document, record, or other information shall be considered relevant if it: (i) was
relied upon in denying the claim; (ii) was submitted, considered or generated in the course of
processing the claim, regardless of whether it was relied upon; (iii) demonstrates compliance with
the claims procedures process; or (iv) constitutes a statement of policy for the Excess Plan or
guidance concerning the denied claim.

     12.04 Decisions on Reviewed Claims. The Committee (or its delegate) will notify the Claimant
in writing of its decision on the appeal. Such notification will be in a form designed to be
understood by the Claimant. If the claim is denied in whole or in part on appeal, the notification
will also contain: the specific reason or reasons for the denial; reference to the specific
provisions of the Excess Plan on which the determination is based; a statement that the Claimant is
entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits; and a
statement that the Claimant has a right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. A
document, record, or other information shall be considered relevant if it: (i) was relied upon in
denying the claim; (ii) was submitted, considered or generated in the course of processing the

8

 

claim, regardless of whether it was relied upon; (iii) demonstrates compliance with the claims
procedures process; or (iv) constitutes a statement of policy for the Excess Plan or guidance
concerning the denied claim. Such notification will be given by the Committee (or its delegate)
within sixty (60) days after the complete appeal is received by the Committee (or its delegate) (or
within one hundred twenty (120) days if the Committee (or its delegate) determines special
circumstances require an extension of time for considering the appeal, and if written notice of
such extension and circumstances is given to the Claimant within the initial sixty (60) day
period). Such written extension notice shall also indicate the date by which the Committee (or its
delegate) expects to render a decision.

     12.05 Review Procedures. In reviewing a denied claim, the reviewer shall take into
consideration all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant in
support of the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the
initial determination.

     12.06 Exhaustion of Remedies; Filing of Legal Actions. A claimant may not bring any legal
action relating to a claim for benefits under the Excess Plan unless and until the claimant has
followed the claims procedures under the Excess Plan and exhausted his or her administrative
remedies under such claims procedures. A claimant may not bring a legal action seeking payment of
benefits under the Excess Plan more than one year after the claimant has received written notice of
the decision on the review of his or her claim.

13. Amendment and Discontinuance.

     The Committee may at any time amend or discontinue this Excess Plan. However, if this Excess
Plan should be amended and discontinued, the Corporation and any Company which has adopted this
Excess Plan, as the case may be, shall be liable for any benefits accrued under this Excess Plan as
of the date of such action for Participants who are or have been employed by the Corporation or any
such Company. Such accrued benefits shall be the undistributed vested portion of the Participant’s
Supplementary Company Retirement Account balance as of such date of amendment or discontinuance.
Upon a termination of the Excess Plan, a Participant’s Post-2004 Account Balance shall not be
distributed prior to the date on which it would be otherwise distributable as provided by Section 9
of the Excess Plan except to the extent and in accordance with Treas. Regs. Section
1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

14. Restriction on Assignment.

     The benefits provided hereunder are intended for the personal security of persons entitled to
payment under this Excess Plan and are not subject in any manner to the debts or other obligations
of the persons to whom they are payable. The interest of any Participant or his Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or encumbered in any manner, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign,
pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be null and void; neither shall the benefits hereunder
be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person
to whom such benefits or funds are payable, nor shall they be subject to garnishment, attachment,
or other legal or equitable process, nor shall they be an asset in bankruptcy. However, the
restrictions herein shall not prevent the Committee from satisfying the

9

 

requirements of a “qualified domestic relations order” as defined in Section 441(1)(B) of the
Code.

15. Continued Employment.

     Nothing contained in this Excess Plan shall be construed as conferring upon a Participant the
right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or any Company in any capacity or as
otherwise affecting the employment relationship.

16. Liability of the Committee.

     No member of the Committee shall be liable for any loss unless resulting from his own fraud or
willful misconduct, and no member shall be personally liable upon or with respect to any agreement,
act, transaction or omission executed, committed or suffered to be committed by himself as a member
of the Committee or by any other member, agent, representative or employee of the Committee. The
Committee and any individual member of the Committee and any agent thereof shall be fully protected
in relying upon the advice of the following professional consultants or advisors employed by the
Corporation or the Committee: any attorney insofar as legal matters are concerned, any accountant
insofar as accounting matters are concerned, and any actuary insofar as actuarial matters are
concerned.

17. Indemnification.

     The Corporation and any Company which has adopted this Excess Plan hereby indemnifies and
agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the members of the Committee and all directors, officers, and
employees of the Corporation and of any Company which has adopted this Excess Plan against any and
all parties whomsoever, and all losses therefrom, including without limitation, costs or defense
and attorneys’ fees, based upon or arising out of any act or omission relating to, or in connection
with this Excess Plan other than losses resulting from such person’s fraud or willful misconduct.

18. Termination of Service for Dishonesty.

     If a Participant’s service with the Corporation or with any Company which has adopted this
Excess Plan, is terminated because of dishonest conduct injurious to the Corporation or such
Company, or if dishonest conduct injurious to the Corporation or such Company committed by a
Participant is determined by the Corporation within one year after his service with the Corporation
or such Company is terminated, the Committee may terminate such Participant’s remaining interest
and benefits under this Excess Plan.

     The dishonest conduct committed by a Participant that is injurious to the Corporation or to
any Company which has adopted this Excess Plan shall be determined and decided by the Committee
only after a full investigation of such alleged dishonest conduct and an opportunity has been given
the Participant to appear before the Committee to present his case. The decision made by the
Committee in such cases shall be final and binding on all Participants and other persons affected
by such decision.

10

 

19. Binding on the Corporation, Company, Participants and Their Successors.

     This Excess Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Corporation and to the
benefit of any Company which has adopted this Excess Plan, their successors and assigns and the
Participants and their heirs, executors, administrators, and duly appointed legal representatives.

20. Rights of Affiliates to Participate.

     Any Company participating in the RSP may, in the future, adopt this Excess Plan provided the
proper action is taken by the board of directors of such Company. The administrative powers and
control of the Corporation, as provided in this Excess Plan, shall not be deemed diminished under
this Excess Plan by reason of the participation of any Company and the administrative powers and
control granted hereunder to the Committee shall be binding upon any Company adopting this Excess
Plan. Each Company adopting this Excess Plan shall have the obligation to pay the benefits to its
Participants who were in its employment hereunder and no other Company shall have such obligation
and any failure by a particular employer to live up to its obligations under this Excess Plan shall
have no effect on any other Company. Any Company may discontinue this Excess Plan at any time by
proper action of its board of directors subject to the provisions of Section 13.

21. Withholdings.

     The Company shall withhold from any amount distributable to a Participant under the Excess
Plan any applicable federal, state or local income or employment taxes or any other amounts
required to be withheld by law. In addition, the Company may withhold from a Participant’s
currently payable salary, bonus or other compensation any applicable federal, state or local income
or employment taxes that may be due upon the crediting of an amount to the Participant’s Account.

22. Construction.

     The headings in this Excess Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are
to be ignored in any construction of the provision. Except when otherwise clearly indicated by the
context, when used in the Excess Plan words in any gender shall include any other gender, and words
in the singular shall include the plural, and words in the plural shall include the singular.

23. Severability.

     In the event any provision of the Excess Plan shall be held invalid or illegal for any reason,
any illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Excess Plan, but the
Excess Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been
inserted, and the Committee shall have the right to correct and remedy such questions of illegality
or invalidity by amendment as provided by the Excess Plan.

11

 

24. Law Governing.

     This Excess Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State

25. No Offets Permitted.

     The Company shall not offset a distribution to a Participant or otherwise reduce the Account
balance of a Participant to satisfy any debt or other obligation owed by the Participant to the
Company.

26. No Postponement of Distributions.

          A Participant shall not be entitled to postpone the distribution of his of her Account beyond
the date on which it is distributable to him or her under the terms of the Excess Plan.

27. Code Section 409A.

          The Excess Plan is intended to constitute a plan of deferred compensation that meets the
requirements for the deferral of income taxation under Code Section 409A. It is intended that the
provisions of the Excess Plan comply with Code Section 409A and all provisions of the Excess Plan
shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties
under Code Section 409A.

     27.01 A Participant’s Separation from Service shall not be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of any provision of the Excess Plan providing for the payment of amounts upon or following
a Separation from Service unless such termination is also a “Separation from Service” within the
meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of the Excess Plan, references
to a “resignation,” “termination,” “termination of service” or like terms shall mean Separation
from Service.

     27.02 The Excess Plan satisfies the requirement under Code Section 409A with respect to
Post-2004 Account Balances that any distribution of deferred compensation to a Participant who is
a “specified employee” of the Company (within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(2)(A) of
the Code) on account of his or Separation from Service not be made or provided prior to the earlier
of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Participant’s
Separation from Service or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death by providing that all
distributions of Post-2004 Account Balances be distributed in a single sum in the seventh month
following the month in which the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs.

     27.03 No payment or distribution of Post-2005 Account Balances shall be accelerated, except as
permitted under Code Section 409A. Nothing contained herein shall enable the Committee to
accelerate payments because of the financial condition of the Corporation.

     27.04 To the extent that any provision of this amendment is considered to have changed the
time or form of payment of deferred compensation, for a payment that is payable in 2009 or later,
it is intended that the Code Section 409A transition rules permitting such changes apply..
