Article 1. Intent and Effective Date of the Plan

	1.1	 	History of the Plan

	 	(a)	 	Originally the Plan was known as the “Castle & Cooke, Inc. Supplementary Executive
Retirement Plan.” Subsequently, a second restatement of the Plan was adopted, effective
as of January 1, 1989 (the “1989 Restatement”). Among other changes, the 1989
Restatement renamed the plan as the “Dole Food Company Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan.” Subsequently, the Company adopted Amendments 1994-1, 1996-1, and 2001-1 to the
1989 Restatement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Effective as of January 1, 2002, the Plan was amended and restated (the “2002
Restatement”) to incorporate the three amendments to the 1989 Restatement, to provide
for accruals of transition benefits with respect to certain participants in Plan 29, and
to make certain other changes.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Effective as of January 1, 2009, the Plan was amended and restated (the “2009
Restatement”) to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A with respect to
Nongrandfathered Benefits, and to ensure that Grandfathered Benefits will not become
subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Effective as of February 24, 2011, the Company hereby amends and restates the
2009 Restatement to incorporate one prior amendment to the 2009 Restatement and also
modify the definition of a “Change in Control.”

	1.2	 	Status of the Plan

	 	(a)	 	The Plan is intended to provide a supplemental retirement allowance, in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan contained herein, to those Retirees and their
Beneficiaries

	 	(1)	 	Whose benefits from Plan 29 are reduced by reason of the maximum
annual limitations on benefits imposed by Section 415 of the Code or the
limitation on compensation imposed by Section 401(a) (17) of the Code, or
	 
	 	(2)	 	Who are entitled to certain transition benefits with respect to their
Plan 29 benefits.

	 	(b)	 	The portion of the Plan relating to Section 415 is intended to constitute an
“excess benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(36) of ERISA.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The remaining portion of the Plan is intended to constitute a plan which is
unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to
a select group of management or highly compensated employees and is intended to meet the
exemptions provided in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA as well as the
requirements of Department of Labor Regulation Section 2520.104-23.

1

 

	 	 	 	The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so as to meet the requirements of these
exemptions and the regulation.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Plan is not qualified within the meaning of Code Section 401(a). The Plan is
intended to provide an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future and
thus not to involve, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(e), the transfer of
“property” for purposes of Code Section 83. Likewise, the accrual of benefits by an
Employee is not intended to confer an economic benefit upon the Employee nor is the
right to the receipt of future benefits under the Plan intended to result in the
Employee, Retiree, or Beneficiary being in constructive receipt of any amount so as to
result in any benefit due under the Plan being includible in the gross income of any
Employee, Retiree, or Beneficiary in advance of the date on which payment of any benefit
due under the Plan is actually made. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so
as to satisfy the requirements for this intended tax treatment under the Code. However,
the treatment of benefits accrued under and benefits received under this Plan, for
purposes of the Code and other applicable tax laws (such as state income and employment
tax laws) shall be determined under the Code and other applicable tax laws and no
guarantee or commitment is made to any Employee, Retiree, or Beneficiary with respect to
the treatment of accruals under or benefits payable under the Plan for purposes of the
Code and other applicable tax laws.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Plan is subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A with respect to
Nongrandfathered Benefits. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so as to avoid
a “plan failure” within the meaning of Code Section 409A with respect to
Nongrandfathered Benefits. The Company does not intend that this restatement shall
constitute a material modification, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-6(a)(4), of the Plan provisions governing Grandfathered Benefits. The Plan shall
be administered and interpreted so as to avoid any material modification with respect to
Grandfathered Benefits that would make those benefits subject to the provisions of Code
Section 409A. However, no guarantee or commitment is made that the Plan shall be
administered in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, with respect to
Nongrandfathered Benefits, or that it shall be administered, with respect to
Nongrandfathered Benefits, in a manner that avoids the application of Code Section 409A
to those Nongrandfathered Benefits.

	1.3	 	Applicability of the Restatement of the Plan

	 	(a)	 	The Plan, as herein amended and restated, is effective February 24, 2011 except as
otherwise provided.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The provisions of the 2002 Restatement shall determine all benefits accrued with
respect to periods before January 1, 2009 and shall govern all distribution elections
and distributions made before January 1, 2009, except insofar as pertinent provisions

2

 

	 	 	 	of this restatement are retroactively effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
distribution elections and distributions (and other actions subject to Code Section
409A) made before January 1, 2009 with respect to Nongrandfathered Benefits were and
continue to be governed by provisions identical to those under the 2002 Restatement,
but modified administratively to the extent necessary to avoid any “plan failures”
within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(1) based on the Plan Administrator’s good
faith interpretation of that Section and associated Internal Revenue Service guidance.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The provisions of this restatement of the Plan, as amended from time to time,
shall determine all benefits accrued with respect to periods on or after January 1,
2009, and shall govern all distributions and distribution elections made on or after
January 1, 2009.

entitled, at the time the Employee first receives benefit payments under this Plan,
determined under the terms of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, due solely to the
passage of time and without regard to any further services rendered by the Employee after
December 31, 2004, or any other events affecting the amount of or the entitlement to benefits
(other than an election with respect to the time or form of an available benefit), using the

(except as provided in Section 8.2(h)) is fully vested in his or her retirement benefit under

Article 4. Amount of Benefits

	4.1	 	Overview of Retirement Benefits

	 	(a)	 	Subject to the other provisions of the Plan, a Retiree’s benefit under the Plan
shall be equal to the sum of whichever of the benefits provided under Sections 4.2 and
4.3 are applicable, but reduced as provided in Section 4.4.
	 
	 	(b)	 	A Retiree who satisfies both the conditions for a benefit under Section 4.2 and
the conditions for a benefit under Section 4.3 may accrue the benefits provided under
both of those sections, provided that there is no double payment of benefits provided
under those sections, such as those benefits attributable to disregarding the limits of
Code Section 415 and 401(a)(17).

	4.2	 	Excess Benefit

	 	(a)	 	An Employee who is eligible under Section 3.1 shall accrue a benefit under this Plan
equal to the Retiree’s Excess Benefit.
	 
	 	(b)	 	A Retiree’s “Excess Benefit” shall be equal to the amount by which the Retiree’s
Plan 29 normal retirement benefit (or late retirement benefit, if payment of the
Retiree’s SERP benefit will start after the Plan 29 normal retirement date) is reduced
as a result of the application of Code Section 415 or Code Section 401(a)(17). Excess
Benefits shall be determined only with respect to the benefit accrued under Plan 29, as
frozen effective December 31, 2001.

	4.3	 	Plan 29 Transition Benefit

	4.4	 	Assumption of Certain Liabilities by Castle & Cooke
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, no benefit under any
section of this Plan shall be paid to the extent that such benefit was required to have been
assumed by Castle & Cooke, Inc. (“Castle”) pursuant to Section 3(a) of the Employee Benefits
and Compensation Allocation Agreement in connection with the spin-off of Castle from the
Corporation on December 28, 1995, irrespective of whether or not such benefit is ever
actually paid by Castle.

8

 

Article 5. Payment of Benefits to Retiree

	5.1	 	Grandfathered Benefits
	 
	 	 	A Retiree’s Grandfathered Benefits shall be paid to the Retiree at the same time and in
the same form as the Retiree’s retirement benefit under Plan 29. The amount payable to the
Retiree (and any Beneficiary) in the applicable payment form under this Plan shall be
determined using the same actuarial conversion factors that apply for calculation of the
Retiree’s retirement benefit under Plan 29. A Retiree’s designation of a joint annuitant or
beneficiary made under Plan 29 will also be applicable under this Plan.
	 
	5.2	 	Nongrandfathered Benefits

	 	(a)	 	A Retiree’s Nongrandfathered Benefits shall be paid to the Retiree in the form of a
single lump sum payment during the calendar year immediately following the calendar year
in which the Retiree has a Separation from Service. The lump sum amount payable to the
Retiree under this Section shall be determined using the same actuarial conversion
factors that would apply for the calculation of a lump sum payment under Plan 29 as of
the payment date.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If a Retiree is reemployed by the Company or a Commonly Controlled Entity
following a Separation from Service that occurs on or after January 1, 2009,
Nongrandfathered Benefits accrued by the Retiree prior to the initial Separation from
Service shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.2(a), without regard to such
reemployment. Nongrandfathered Benefits (if any) accrued by the Retiree during the
period of reemployment shall be paid to the Retiree in the form of a single lump sum
payment during the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the
Retiree subsequently has a Separation from Service.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If a Retiree had a Separation from Service prior to January 1, 2009, has not been
reemployed by the Company or a Commonly Controlled Entity as of January 1, 2009, and has
not yet commenced benefit payments under this Plan as of January 1, 2009, the Retiree’s
Nongrandfathered Benefits shall be paid to the Retiree in the form of a single lump sum
payment in 2009, calculated in the manner described in Section 5.2(a).

	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if any Retiree is a “specified
employee,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(i), as of the date of his or
her Separation From Service, then, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-3(i)(2), payment of the Retiree’s Nongrandfathered Benefit to the Retiree on account
of his or her Separation From Service shall not be made before a date that is six months
after the date of his or her Separation From Service. The Plan Administrator may elect any of
the methods of applying this rule that are permitted under Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(2)(ii).

9

 

	5.3	 	Special Distribution Following a Change in Taxation
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Plan, the Corporation may (but shall not be
required to) distribute to an Employee, Retiree or his or her Beneficiary all Grandfathered
Benefits due under the terms of the Plan in a single lump sum if the Company obtains an
opinion from legal counsel that Grandfathered Benefits due under the Plan would be included
(if the payment under this Section 5.3 was not made) in the Retiree’s or Beneficiary’s gross
income, for federal income tax purposes, for the year in which the lump sum amount is
distributed. The amount of the lump sum shall be determined using the actuarial assumptions
that would apply for payment of a lump sum under Section 5.3.

10

 

Article 6. Death Benefits

	6.1	 	Death Before Commencement of Benefits to Retiree

	 	(a)	 	No death benefit shall be payable under the Plan in the event of death of the
Employee or Retiree before the dates benefits are scheduled to be paid to the Employee
or Retiree under Article 5 except as provided in this Section 6.1.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The portion of any death benefit payable to a Beneficiary that is attributable to
the Employee’s Grandfathered Benefits will be paid starting at the same time and in the
same payment form as the death benefit under Plan 29 is paid to the Beneficiary and will
cease at the same time that the death benefit to the Beneficiary terminates under Plan
29. The amount payable to the Beneficiary shall be determined using the same actuarial
conversion factors that apply for calculation of the death benefit under Plan 29.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the sole discretion of the Corporation, the death
benefit under this Section 6.1(b) may be paid in the form of a lump sum payment.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Except as provided in Section 6.2(c), the portion of any death benefit payable to
a Beneficiary that is attributable to the Employee’s Nongrandfathered Benefits will be
paid in the form of a single lump sum payment during the calendar year immediately
following the calendar year in which the Employee’s death occurs.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The amount of any lump sum payable under this Section 6.1 shall be determined
using the actuarial assumptions that would apply, at the time the payment is made under
this Plan, for payment of a death benefit under the applicable sections of Plan 29 as a
lump sum (or if no death benefit under Plan 29 is payable as a lump sum, for payment of
the Retiree’s benefit accrued under the applicable sections of Plan 29 as a lump sum).
	 
	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 6.1, if a Retiree dies after
the annuity starting date for the payment of Grandfathered Benefits but before the
Retiree’s Nongrandfathered Benefits have been paid pursuant to Section 5.2, the
Retiree’s Nongrandfathered Benefits shall be paid to the Beneficiary in accordance with
Section 5.2 as if the Retiree had remained alive.

	6.2	 	Death After Commencement of Benefits to Retiree

	 	(a)	 	No death benefit shall be payable under the Plan in the event of a Retiree’s death
with respect to the Retiree’s Grandfathered Benefits after the annuity starting date for
the payment of Grandfathered Benefits under this Plan to the Retiree except to the
extent provided under the payment form (e.g., a joint and survivor annuity) elected by
the Retiree. Any payments due to a Beneficiary under the payment form elected by the
Retiree shall be distributed to the Retiree’s Beneficiary as provided under that payment
form. The Beneficiary for any death benefit payable under this Section 6.2 shall be
determined under Section 5.1.

11

 

	 	(b)	 	At the sole discretion of the Retirement Plan Committee, any death benefit due
under Section 6.2(a) may be paid in the form of a lump sum payment. The amount of the
lump sum under this Section 6.2(b) shall be determined using the actuarial assumptions
that would apply, at the time the payment is made under this Plan, for payment of a
death benefit under the applicable sections of Plan 29 as a lump sum (or if no death
benefit under Plan 29 is payable as a lump sum, for payment of the Retiree’s benefit
accrued under the applicable sections of Plan 29 as a lump sum).
	 
	 	(c)	 	No death benefit shall be payable under the Plan in the event of a Retiree’s
death with respect to the Retiree’s Nongrandfathered Benefits if such benefits have
already been paid pursuant to Section 5.2.

12

 

Article 7. Cost of the Plan

	7.1	 	Plan Costs
	 
	 	 	All costs of the Plan, including the administration thereof, shall be borne by the
Corporation and no contributions from Employees shall be required or permitted.
	 
	 	 	Nothing in the establishment of this Plan is to be construed as requiring the Corporation to
create or maintain any separate fund, account or reserve to provide for the payment of the
Corporation’s liability to an Employee under the Plan. All benefits under the Plan shall be
paid from the general assets of the Corporation, or from a grant or trust established for the
purpose of making such payments.
	 
	7.2	 	Authorization for Trust
	 
	 	 	The Corporation may, but except as required in
Section 8.2(c)–(d), shall not be
required to, establish one or more trusts, with such trustee as the Plan Administrator may
approve, for the purpose of providing for the payment of amounts provided under this Plan.
Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the
claims of the Corporation’s creditors to the extent required to prevent the Plan from being
funded, for purposes of the Code and ERISA, and to preserve the status of the Plan as a
nonqualified plan. To the extent any amounts contributed under the Plan are actually paid
from any such trust, the Company shall have no further obligation with respect thereto, but,
to the extent not so paid, such amounts shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by,
the Company.

Article 8. Administration

	8.1	 	Charter of the Committee
	 
	 	 	This Plan shall be administered according to the Revised Charter of the Corporate
Compensation & Benefits Committee or such rules as are adopted to replace the Revised Charter
or are adopted by the body that replaces the Corporate Compensation and Benefits Committee.
The provisions of the Revised Charter of the Corporate Compensation & Benefits Committee (or
such document that replaces the Revised Charter), including any amendments thereto
subsequently adopted, are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth fully herein.
	 
	8.2	 	Special Rules Following a Change in Control

	 	(a)	 	This Section 8.2 provides special rules that go into effect after there has been a
Change in Control.

	 	(1)	 	For purposes of this Section 8.2, a “Change in Control” occurs if and
as of the first day that any one or more of the following conditions are
satisfied, whether accomplished directly or indirectly, or in one or a series of
related transactions:

	 	(A)	 	Any Person becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Corporation representing 20 percent or more of the
combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities,
other than

	 	(i)	 	David H. Murdock, a California resident (who is, at the time of
this restatement, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and
Chairman of the Board of Directors), or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Following the death of David H. Murdock, the
trustee or trustees of a trust created by David H. Murdock.

	 	(B)	 	Individuals who, as of March 23, 2001, constitute the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation;
provided, however, that any individual who becomes a director after March
23, 2001, and whose election, or nomination for election, by the
Corporation’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board, shall be considered as
though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, unless the
individual’s initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an
actual or threatened election contest or other actual or threatened tender
offer, solicitation of

14

 

	 	 	 	proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.
	 
	 	(C)	 	A reorganization, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other extraordinary
transaction involving the Corporation (a “Fundamental Transaction”) becomes
effective or is consummated, unless

	 	(i)	 	More than 50 percent of the outstanding voting securities of the
surviving or resulting entity (including, without limitation, an
entity (“Parent”) which as a result of such transaction owns the
Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets
either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (“Resulting
Entity”) are, or are to be, Beneficially Owned, directly or
indirectly, by all or substantially all of the Persons who were the
Beneficial Owners of the outstanding voting securities of the
Corporation immediately before the Fundamental Transaction (excluding,
for such purposes, any Person who is or, within two years prior to the
consummation date of such Fundamental Transaction, was, an Affiliate
or Associate (other than an Affiliate of Dole Food Company, Inc.
immediately prior to such consummation date) (as each of Affiliate and
Associate are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange
Act) of a party to the Fundamental Transaction) in substantially the
same proportions as their Beneficial Ownership, immediately before the
Fundamental Transaction, of the outstanding voting securities of the
Corporation; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	More than half of the members of the board of
directors or similar body of the Resulting Entity (or its Parent) were
members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the
initial agreement providing for the Fundamental Transaction.

	 	(D)	 	A sale, transfer or any other disposition (including, without
limitation, by way of spin-off, distribution, complete liquidation or
dissolution) of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s business or
assets (an “Asset Sale”) is consummated, unless, immediately following such
consummation, all of the requirements of
Section 8.2(a)(1)(C)(i)–(ii) are
satisfied, both with respect to the Corporation and with respect to the
entity to which such business or assets have been sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of or its parent (a “Transferee Entity”).
	 
	 	(E)	 	The consummation of any other significant corporate
transaction determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors of the
Corporation to be a Change in Control.

15

 

	 	(F)	 	For purposes of Sections 8(a) (1) (C) and 8 (a) (1) (D),
the consummation or effectiveness of a Fundamental Transaction or an Asset
Sale shall not constitute a Change in Control if more than 50 percent of the
outstanding voting securities of the Resulting Entity or the Transferee
Entity, as appropriate, are, or are to be, Beneficially Owned by David H.
Murdock.
	 
	 	(G)	 	For the avoidance of doubt, the consummation of the
Initial Public Offering shall not be considered a Change of Control or
Fundamental Transaction for any purpose under this Plan. If, in the Initial
Public Offering, any Person (other than David H. Murdock) becomes the
Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation
representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s
then outstanding securities, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have
then occurred, and no Change of Control shall be deemed to occur thereafter
solely as a result of such Person’s Beneficial Ownership of the
Corporation’s securities unless and until (if ever) such Person becomes the
Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation
representing at least 1% more of the combined voting power of the
Corporation’s then outstanding securities than the percentage of the
Corporation’s outstanding securities Beneficially Owned by such Person upon
the consummation of the Initial Public Offering.

	 	(2)	 	The following terms shall means as follows, for purposes of this Section 8.2:

	 	(A)	 	“Affiliate” means the same as the meaning ascribed in Rule 12b-2
promulgated under the Exchange Act.
	 
	 	(B)	 	“Associate” means the same as the meaning ascribed in
Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
	 
	 	(C)	 	“Beneficial Owner” means a “beneficial owner” as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. A person “Beneficially Owns” or has
“Beneficial Ownership” of another if the person is the Beneficial Owner of
the other.
	 
	 	(D)	 	“Change in Control Plan Year” means the Plan Year in
which a Change in Control occurs.
	 
	 	(E)	 	“Corporation” means Dole Food Company, Inc. and its
successors. For purposes of this Section 8.2, after the consummation of a
Fundamental Transaction or an Asset Sale, the term “successor” shall

16

 

	 	 	 	include, without limitation, the Resulting Entity or Transferee Entity,
respectively.
	 
	 	(F)	 	“Dole” means the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.
	 
	 	(G)	 	“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.

up to, and including, the initial sale by the Underwriters of the shares of
the Corporation’s common stock pursuant to the Corporation’s Registration
Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 14, 2009, as amended (the “Form S-1”). For purposes of this
definition, the term “Underwriters” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto
in that certain Underwriting Agreement attached as Exhibit 1.1 to the Form
S-1, as amended.
	 
	 	(I)	 	“Person” means a “person,” as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act.
	 
	 	(J)	 	“Post-CIC Plan Year” means the Plan Year immediately
following the Change in Control Plan Year.
	 
	 	(K)	 	“Protected Benefits” means, with respect to a Retiree who
became a participant in the Plan before the Change in Control, the benefits
that accrue under the Plan with respect to compensation paid and service
credited up to the last day of the Change in Control Plan Year.
	 
	 	(L)	 	“Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity, a
majority or more of the outstanding voting stock or voting power of which is

	 	(M)	 	“Trust” means a trust created pursuant to Section 7.2.
	 
	 	(N)	 	“Trustee” means the trustee of a Trust.

	 	(b)	 	After a Change in Control, benefits under the Plan shall accrue with respect to
compensation paid in and service credited for the remainder of the Change in Control
Plan Year at an accrual rate not less than that in effect, before the Change in Control,
for the Change in Control Plan Year.
	 
	 	(c)	 	After the Change in Control, if it has not already done so, the Company shall
establish a Trust that satisfies the requirements of Section 7.2 Within 30 days after
the date of the Change in Control, the Company shall make such additional contributions
to the Trust as are required to ensure that the collective assets of all Trusts are, as
of the 30th day after the date of the Change in Control, equal to the sum

17

 

	 	 	 	of the present value of the benefits accrued under the Plan with respect to
compensation paid and service credited up to the date of the Change in Control, except
to the extent such contributions would result in a “plan failure” within the meaning of
Code Section 409A.
	 
	 	(d)	 	In addition to the contributions made pursuant to Section 8.2(c), within 30 days
after the last day of the Change in Control Plan Year the Company shall make such
additional contributions to a Trust as are required to ensure that the collective assets
of all Trusts are, as of the last day of the Change in Control Plan Year, equal to the
sum of the present value of all Protected Benefits, except to the extent such
contributions would result in a “plan failure” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
	 
	 	(e)	 	After a Change in Control, the Plan may not be terminated as of a date within the
Change in Control Plan Year.
	 
	 	(f)	 	After a Change in Control, any provisions of this Plan or of the Charter that
allow or purport to allow the Plan Administrator or another person discretionary
authority or power to construe or interpret the terms of the Plan, shall be void as
applied to any dispute involving Protected Benefits. Instead, after a Change in Control,
the Trustee shall have discretionary authority to interpret the terms of the Plan, as
applied to Protected Benefits. After a Change in Control, the Plan Administrator (or the
person exercising that authority for the Plan Administrator) shall continue to have the
authority to interpret the terms of the Plan as applied to any dispute involving
benefits other than Protected Benefits and there shall be no change in the Plan
Administrator.
	 
	 	(g)	 	After a Change in Control, all powers of the Plan Administrator prescribed in
Section 8.3 (relating to the claims procedure) shall be exercised by the Trustee insofar
as the claim for benefits relates to Protected Benefits. If more than one Trust is
established to fund benefits provided under the Plan, then the powers described in
Sections 8.2(f)–(g) shall be exercised by the Trustee of the Trust holding, at the time
the claim is filed, the most assets intended as a source of financing for benefits
payable under the Plan.

	8.3	 	Claims Procedure

	 	(a)	 	All claims for benefits under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the
procedures in this Section 8.3. All decisions made under the procedure set out in this
Section 8.3 shall be final, and there shall be no further right of appeal except as
provided under applicable law. No lawsuit may be initiated by any person before fully
pursuing the procedures set out in this Section 8.3, including the appeal permitted
pursuant to Section 8.3(d).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Except to the extent provided in Section 8.2(g) (relating to a trustee deciding
claims with respect to certain benefits after a Change in Control), the right of a
Retiree,

18

 

	 	 	 	Beneficiary, or any other person entitled to claim a benefit under the Plan
(collectively “Claimants”) to a benefit shall be determined by the Plan Administrator.
If a Claimant has a claim for benefits that include benefits other than Protected
Benefits and his or her claim for benefits with respect to the Protected Benefits is
decided in accordance with Section 8.2(g), then the Claimant’s claim with respect to
the rest of his benefits shall be decided by the Plan Administrator. The Claimant (or
an authorized representative of the Claimant) may file a claim for benefits by written
notice to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall establish procedures for
determining whether a person is authorized to represent a Claimant.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If a claim for benefits is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator
shall, within a reasonable period of time, but no later than 90 days after receipt of
the claim, notify the Claimant of the denial of benefits. If special circumstances
justify extending the period up to an additional 90 days, the Claimant shall be given
written notice of this extension within the initial 90-day period, and such notice shall
set forth the special circumstances and the date a decision is expected. A notice of
denial

	 	(1)	 	Shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
Claimant, and
	 
	 	(2)	 	Shall contain

	 	(A)	 	The specific reasons for denial of the claim,
	 
	 	(B)	 	Specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the
denial is based,
	 
	 	(C)	 	A description of any additional material or information
necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, along with an explanation
as to why such material or information is necessary, and
	 
	 	(D)	 	An explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedures and
the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the
Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a)
following an adverse determination on review.

	 	(d)	 	Within 60 days of the receipt by the Claimant of the written denial of his or her
claim or, if the claim has not been granted, within a reasonable period of time (which
shall not be less than the 90 or 180 days described in Section 8.3(c)), the Claimant (or
an authorized representative of the Claimant) may file a written request with the Plan
Administrator that it conduct a full review of the denial of the claim. In connection
with the Claimant’s appeal, upon request, the Claimant may review and obtain copies of
all pertinent documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim
for benefits (but not including any document, record, or information that is subject to
any attorney-client or work-product privilege) and may submit issues and comments in
writing. The Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records, and other
information relating to the claim for benefits. All comments,

19

 

	 	 	 	documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant shall be taken into
account in the appeal without regard to whether such information was submitted or
considered in the initial benefit determination.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Plan Administrator shall deliver to the Claimant a written decision on the
claim promptly, but no later than 60 days after the receipt of the Claimant’s request
for such review, unless special circumstances exist, such as the need to hold a hearing,
that justify extending this period up to an additional 60 days. If the period is
extended, the Claimant shall be given written notice of this extension during the
initial 60-day period and such notice shall set forth the special circumstances and the
date a decision is expected. The decision on review of the denial of the claim

	 	(1)	 	Shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
Claimant,
	 
	 	(2)	 	Shall contain

	 	(A)	 	The specific reasons for the denial of the appeal,
	 
	 	(B)	 	Specific references to the Plan provisions on which the
denial is based,
	 
	 	(C)	 	A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive,
upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and other information
relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits. Whether a document, record,
or other information is relevant to a claim for benefits shall be determined
by reference to Department of Labor Regulation Section 2560, and
	 
	 	(D)	 	A statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil
action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse determination on
review.

	 	(f)	 	No lawsuit may be initiated by any person before fully pursuing the procedures set
out in this Section 8.3, including the appeal permitted pursuant to Section 8.3(d).
	 
	 	(g)	 	If a Claimant is entitled to a payment of Nongrandfathered Benefits following the
resolution of a claim described in this Section 8.3, such payment shall be made no later
than end of the calendar year in which the claim is finally and conclusively resolved,
or, if later, the applicable payment date set forth in Article 5 or 6.

	8.4	 	Reimbursement of Attorneys Fees

	 	(a)	 	If a Claimant (as defined in Section 8.3(b)) substantially prevails in his or her
claim for benefits pursued in accordance with Section 8.3, then the Company shall
reimburse the Claimant for any reasonable attorneys fees that the Claimant incurred in
connection with the claim for benefits.

20

 

	 	(b)	 	If, after fully pursuing the procedures in Section 8.3 (including the appeal
permitted under Section 8.3(d)), a Claimant brings a legal action contesting any adverse
determination with respect to the benefits due to him or her under the Plan and the
Claimant substantially prevails in that legal action, then the Company shall reimburse
the Claimant for his or her reasonable attorneys fees and court costs in connection with
the legal action.
	 
	 	(c)	 	In order to be eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 8.4, fees and
expenses must be incurred before the closing of the Claimant’s estate. The amount of
fees and expenses eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 8.4 during a given
year will not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any other year. Any
payment to which a Claimant is entitled pursuant to this Section must be made no later
than the last day of the Claimant’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the
related fee or expense is incurred.

	8.5	 	Corrections
	 
	 	 	If the Plan inadvertently is not administered in accordance with its terms, then the
Plan Administrator may take any corrective action that it deems reasonable to rectify the
error, to the extent consistent with applicable law.

21

 

Article 9. Facility of Payment and Lapse of Benefits

	9.1	 	Lack of Valid Beneficiary Designation
	 
	 	 	If the Beneficiary under this Plan is determined by reference to the beneficiary
designated under another plan and no valid designation of a beneficiary is on file with the
applicable plan or, if applicable, the designated beneficiary under the other plan is not
alive on the date of the Retiree’s death, then any death benefit payments under this Plan
shall be made in accordance with the default beneficiary rules under the other plan.
	 
	9.2	 	Payments of Deposits
	 
	 	 	Payments or deposits made pursuant to any provision of this Section 9 shall be a
complete discharge, to the extent thereof, of all liability under the provision of the Plan,
or otherwise, of the Plan Administrator, the Company and the Plan, and the receipt by the
person or persons receiving any such payment, distribution or deposit shall be a complete
acquittance therefore, and there shall be no obligation to see to the application of any
payments, distributions or deposits so made.

22

 

Article 10. General Provisions

	10.1	 	Payments and Benefits Not Assignable

	 	(a)	 	Payments to and benefits under the Plan are not assignable or subject to alienation
since they are primarily for the support and maintenance of the Employees and their
Beneficiaries after retirement. Likewise, such payments shall not be subject to
attachment by creditors of or through legal process against, the Company, the Plan
Administrator, any Employee or Retiree, or any Beneficiary.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), benefits may be paid from this Plan in
accordance with a “qualified domestic relations order,” within the meaning of ERISA
Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i).
	 
	 	(c)	 	However, deductions may be made from payments made under this Plan in accordance
with Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)-13(e) and in other circumstances in which the
Plan Administrator determines that Section 10.1(a) is not violated.

	10.2	 	No Right of Employment
	 
	 	 	The provisions of the Plan shall not give an Employee the right to be retained in the
service of the Company.
	 
	10.3	 	Adjustments
	 
	 	 	The Plan Administrator may, with respect to a Retiree (or Beneficiary), adjust such
Retiree’s (or Beneficiary’s benefit) under the Plan or make such other adjustments with
respect to such Retiree (or Beneficiary) as are required to correct administrative errors or
provide uniform treatment of Retirees (or Beneficiaries) in a manner consistent with the
intent and purposes of the Plan, including but not limited to Section 1.2(e).
	 
	10.4	 	Indemnification

	 	(a)	 	The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the following persons
(“Indemnified Persons”) under the terms and conditions of Section 10.4(b):

	 	(1)	 	The Committee and each of its members.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Each Employee, the Board of Directors and each member of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation and any Commonly Controlled Entity who has
responsibility (whether by delegation from another person, an allocation of
responsibilities under the terms of this Plan document, or otherwise) for a
fiduciary duty, a nonfiduciary settlor function (such as deciding whether to
approve a plan amendment), or a nonfiduciary administrative task relating to the
Plan.

23

 

	 	(b)	 	The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any
and all claims, losses, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and
court costs, incurred by that person on account of his or her good faith actions or
failures to act with respect to his or her responsibilities relating to the Plan. The
Company’s indemnification shall include payment of any amounts due under a settlement of
any lawsuit or investigation, but only if the Corporation agrees to the settlement.

	 	(1)	 	An Indemnified Person shall be indemnified under this Section 10.4
only if he or she notifies an Appropriate Person at the Corporation of any claim
asserted against or any investigation of the Indemnified Person that relates to
the Indemnified Person’s responsibilities with respect to the Plan.

	 	(A)	 	A person is an “Appropriate Person” to receive notice of the claim or
investigation if a reasonable person would believe that the person notified
would initiate action to protect the interests of the Corporation in
response to the Indemnified Person’s notice.
	 
	 	(B)	 	The notice may be provided orally or in writing. The
notice must be provided to the Appropriate Person promptly after the
Indemnified Person becomes aware of the claim or investigation. No
indemnification shall be provided under this Section 10.4 to the extent that
the Company is materially prejudiced by the unreasonable delay of the
Indemnified Person in notifying an Appropriate Person of the claim or
investigation.

	 	(2)	 	An Indemnified Person shall be indemnified under this Section 10.4 with
respect to attorney’s fees, court costs or other litigation expenses or any
settlement of such litigation only if the Indemnified Person agrees to permit the
Corporation to select counsel and to conduct the defense of the lawsuit.
	 
	 	(3)	 	No Indemnified Person shall be indemnified under this Section 10.4
with respect to any action or failure to act that is judicially determined to
constitute or be attributable to the willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person.
	 
	 	(4)	 	Payments of any indemnity under this Section 10.4 shall be made only
from the assets of the Company and shall not be made directly or indirectly from
the Plan. The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall not preclude such further
indemnities as may be available under insurance purchased by the Company or as may
be provided by the Company under any by-law, agreement or otherwise, provided that
no expense shall be indemnified under this Section 10.4 that is otherwise
indemnified by the Company or by an insurance contract purchased by the Company.

24

 

	10.5	 	Withholding of Taxes
	 
	 	 	The Corporation shall have the right to require Retirees to remit to the Corporation an
amount sufficient to satisfy any tax withholding required with respect to amounts credited
under or payments made in accordance with the Plan or to deduct such tax withholding amounts
from any payments of Grandfathered Benefits or Nongrandfathered Benefits made pursuant to the
Plan or any other payments made by the Corporation to the Participant.

25

Revised Charter of the Committee. However, as to Protected Benefits (as defined in Section
8.2(a)(2)(J)), Section 8.2 may not be amended following such a Change in Control to limit the
protections contained therein.
	 
	11.2	 	Assignment of Plan
	 
	 	 	In the event of a Change in Control, with respect to the Employees of any Company or
portion of a Company which is subject to such a Change in Control, the Corporation agrees to
take good faith efforts to obligate any successor organization to assume and agree to
discharge all of the obligations under the Plan of the Corporation to the Employees of such
Company or such portion of a Company and its applicable Retirees under the terms and
conditions of the Plan. Upon such assumption and agreement, the term “Corporation,” and where
applicable “Company,” as used in the Plan shall be deemed to refer to the successor
corporation.
	 
	11.3	 	Termination
	 
	 	 	The Corporation intends to continue the Plan indefinitely but, subject to Section 8.2(e)
(relating to a restriction on terminating the Plan within the Plan Year in which a Change in
Control occurs), reserves the right to terminate it at any time in accordance with the
procedures in the Revised Charter of the Committee. If the Revised Charter does not provide
any such procedures, the Plan may be terminated by action of the Committee.
	 
	11.4	 	Effect of Amendment or Termination
	 
	 	 	No amendment or termination of the Plan may adversely affect the following benefits
payable to any of the following:

	 	(a)	 	All benefits under the Plan, if a Retiree or Beneficiary is receiving benefit
payments under the Plan before the later of the effective date or the adoption date of
the amendment.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Excess Benefits or Plan 29 Transition Benefits (as applicable) accrued through
the later of the effective or adoption date of the amendment or termination, if an
Employee or Retiree was fully vested in his or her benefit under Plan 29 before the
later of the effective date or the adoption date of the amendment.

Article 1. Restatement of the Plan

1.1 Restatement of the Plan

	(a)	 	On February 2, 1995, Dole Food Company, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Dole Food
Company, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“EDCP”), effective as of March 1, 1995.
For Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2002, certain participants elected to defer
portions of their annual salary and annual bonuses under EDCP and made Distribution Elections
(i.e., elected payment starting dates and payment forms) with respect to those deferrals. No
amounts were credited to accounts under the EDCP other than the amount of participants’ annual
salary and bonuses deferred under the EDCP and interest credits on those deferrals.
	 
	(b)	 	Effective as of January 1, 2002, the Company amended and restated the EDCP (the “2002
Restatement”) to change the eligibility conditions for the plan, thereby making additional
employees participants in the plan, and to provide the additional Company credits described in
Article 5. The 2002 Restatement renamed the plan as the Dole Food Company, Inc. Excess Savings
Plan (the “Plan”).
	 
	(c)	 	In response to the enactment of Code Section 409A, the Company adopted Amendment 2004-1 to
the 2002 Restatement. The amendment provided that the Plan would be administered in accordance
with a good-faith, reasonable interpretation of Code Section 409A with respect to
Nongrandfathered Benefits, as defined in Section 2.1(w), that were subject to the provisions
of Code
Section 409A. With respect to Grandfathered Benefits, as defined in Code Section 2.1(s),
the Company continued to administer the Plan in accordance with the terms of the 2002
Restatement.
	 
	(d)	 	Effective as of January 1, 2009, the Plan was amended and restated (the “2009 Restatement”)
to comply, for Plan Years beginning on or after
January 1, 2009, with the provisions of Code Section 409A with respect to Nongrandfathered
Benefits. On or after January 1, 2009, Grandfathered Benefits shall continue to be
administered in accordance with the terms of the 2002 Restatement.
	 
	(e)	 	Effective as of February 24, 2011, the Company hereby amends and restates the 2009
Restatement to incorporate three prior amendments to the 2009 Restatement and also modify the
definition of a “Change in Control.”

1.2 Status of the Plan

	(a)	 	The Plan is unfunded and is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management and highly compensated employees. The Plan
permits Participants the opportunity to defer compensation

1

 

	 	 	and provides Participants with additional retirement benefits, thus enhancing the ability
of the Participating Employers to retain the services of a select group of executives
through supplemental retirement benefits.
	 
	(b)	 	The Plan is intended to meet the exemptions provided in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and
401(a)(1) of ERISA as well as the requirements of Department of Labor Regulation Section
2520.104-23. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so as to meet the requirements of
these exemptions and the regulation.
	 
	(c)	 	The Plan is not qualified within the meaning of Code Section 401(a). The Plan is intended to
provide an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future and thus not to involve,
pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(e), the transfer of “property” for purposes of
Code Section 83. Likewise, the crediting of an amount to a Participant is not intended to
confer an economic benefit upon the Participant nor is the right to the receipt of future
benefits under the Plan intended to result in the Participant or Beneficiary being in
constructive receipt of any amount so as to result in any benefit due under the Plan being
includable in the gross income of any Participant or Beneficiary in advance of the date on
which payment of any benefit due under the Plan is actually made. The Plan shall be
administered and interpreted so as to satisfy the requirements for this intended tax treatment
under the Code. However, the treatment of deferrals made under and benefits received under
this Plan, for purposes of the Code and other applicable tax laws (such as state income and
employment tax laws) shall be determined under the Code and other applicable tax laws and no
guarantee or commitment is made to any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to the
treatment of deferrals under or benefits payable under the Plan for purposes of the Code and
other applicable tax laws.
	 
	(d)	 	The Plan is subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A with respect to Nongrandfathered
Benefits. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so as to meet the requirements of
Code Section 409A with respect to Nongrandfathered Benefits. The Company does not intend that
this restatement shall constitute a material modification, within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-6(a)(4), of the Plan provisions governing Grandfathered Benefits.
The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so as to avoid any material modification with
respect to Grandfathered Benefits that would make those benefits subject to the provisions of
Code Section 409A. However, no guarantee or commitment is made that the Plan shall be
administered in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, with respect to
Nongrandfathered Benefits, or that it shall be administered, with respect to Nongrandfathered
Benefits, in a manner that avoids the application of Code Section 409A to those
Nongrandfathered Benefits.

1.3 Applicability of the Restatement of the Plan

This
amendment and restatement of the 2002 Restatement is effective as of February 24, 2011, except where otherwise specifically provided herein. The provisions of the 2002
Restatement, as in effect before this restatement and as modified for the good-faith, reasonable
interpretation of Code Section 409A with respect to Nongrandfathered Benefits, shall govern all
deferral elections made with respect to Nongrandfathered Benefits for Plan Years beginning before
January 1, 2009, and all payments made under the Plan before January 1, 2009. The provisions of
this restatement of the Plan, as amended from time to time, shall govern the following: whether an
Employee becomes or remains a Participant in the Plan on or after January 1, 2009; whether a
Participant is eligible to defer amounts under the Plan with respect to Plan Years beginning on or
after January 1, 2009; deferral elections made with respect to Plan Years beginning on or after
January 1, 2009; and all payments made under the Plan on or after January 1, 2009.

Member that is not a Participating Employer shall not be part of a Participant’s Base
Pay.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Base Pay shall include the following:

	 	(A)	 	Any 13th month pay or 14th month pay (i.e.,
additional compensation required under foreign law).
	 
	 	(B)	 	Any increase in a Participant’s base pay due to the selling of
vacation under the Dole Food Company, Inc. Welfare Benefits Plan.
	 
	 	(C)	 	Any lump sum payments of merit increases or retroactive increases
to Base Pay.

	 	(3)	 	Base Pay shall include base pay paid while the Participant is on vacation or
on account of a floating holiday. Base Pay shall include base pay paid while on a paid
leave of absence (e.g., pay continuation during certain military leaves or pay
continuation during an FMLA leave due to use of accrued vacation). Base Pay shall
include base pay paid while on sick leave. However, pay continuation during a

	 	(4)	 	Base Pay shall not include any deceased pay paid to the survivors of the
Participant.
	 
	 	(5)	 	Amounts excluded from Plan Compensation shall not be considered to be Base
Pay.

amount would be paid, but for the Participant’s Deferral Election, in that Plan Year.

Group Member either as an employee or as an independent contractor shall be taken
into account. However, services that a Participant performs for a Participating
Employer or Controlled Group Member solely as a director of a Participating
Employer or other Controlled Group Member shall not be taken into account.

	 	(2)	 	The rules in this Section 2.1(mm)(2) apply if a Participant is absent from
employment due to a military leave of absence, a sick leave, or any other bona fide
leave of absence (each of which is a “Leave”) authorized by his or her Participating
Employer, even if before or during the Leave the Participant terminates employment
with his or her Participating Employer. In the case of an Employee who is on a Leave,
a Separation from Service shall not occur until the earlier of the following dates:

	 	(A)	 	The first day immediately following the later of the following
dates:

	 	(i)	 	The six-month anniversary of the first day of the
Participant’s Leave.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The date on which the Participant no longer retains a
right to reemployment with his or her Participating Employer or another
Controlled Group Member pursuant to an applicable statute or contract.

	 	(B)	 	The first date on which there is no longer a reasonable expectation
that the Participant will return to perform services for his or her Participating
Employer or another Controlled Group Member.

11

 

	 	(3)	 	No Participant shall have a Separation From Service unless he or she is
treated as having a “separation from service” under Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-1(h).

	(nn)	 	“Special Credit” means an amount credited to a Participant’s Account under Section 5.5.
	 
	(oo)	 	“SVPHR” means the Company’s most senior human resources officer.

other reason.
	 
	(qq)	 	“2002 Restatement” means prior restatement of the Plan that was adopted effective January 1,
2002.

2.2 Construction

Article 3. Eligibility and Participation

3.1 Eligible Employees

	(a)	 	An Employee who meets all of the following requirements shall be an Eligible Employee
for a Plan Year:

	 	(1)	 	The Employee is employed by a Participating Employer.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Employee is classified by his or her Participating Employer as salaried.
Whether an Employee is classified as salaried shall be conclusively determined
according to the Participating Employer’s classification.
	 
	 	(3)	 	The Employee is a participant in the Salaried 401(k) Plan.
	 
	 	(4)	 	The Employee is either

	 	(A)	 	Classified by his or her Participating Employer as being in pay
grade 6 or 7; or
	 
	 	(B)	 	Designated by the SVPHR as eligible to participate in this Plan for
a particular Plan Year, taking into account the status of this Plan, as described
in Section 1.2. Unless the SVPHR determines otherwise, an Employee designated
under this Section 3.1(a)(4)(B) as an Eligible Employee for a particular Plan
Year shall not thereby become an Eligible Employee for any later Plan Year,
unless the SVPHR designates the Employee as an Eligible Employee for that later
Plan Year. The SVPHR shall determine the manner in which he or she shall
designate Employees under this Section 3.1(a)(4)(B).

	 	(5)	 	Designated by the SVPHR as being eligible to participate in this Plan.

	(b)	 	Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), none of the following shall be an Eligible Employee:

	 	(1)	 	An Employee who does not satisfy all requirements of Section 3.1(a).
	 
	 	(2)	 	An Employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement in which retirement
benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between the Participant’s
Participating Employer and a union.
	 
	 	(3)	 	An individual who is a “Leased Employee,” as defined in the Salaried 401(k)
Plan.
	 
	 	(4)	 	An individual who is not classified by his or her Participating Employer, in
its discretion, as an employee of the Participating Employer under

13

 

	 	 	 	Code Section 3121(d) (including, but not limited to, an individual classified by
his or her Participating Employer as an independent contractor and a non-employee
consultant) and an individual who is classified by his or her Participating Employer,
in its discretion, as an employee of any other entity other than the Participating
Employer, even if the classification by the Participating Employer is determined to be
erroneous, or is retroactively revised. In the event the classification of an
individual who is excluded from participation under the preceding sentence is
determined to be erroneous or is retroactively revised, the individual shall
nonetheless continue to be excluded from participation in this Plan and shall be
ineligible for benefits for all periods before the date the Participating Employer
determines that its classification of the individual is erroneous or should be
revised, all requirements of Section 3.1(a) are satisfied, and the SVPHR designates
the individual as eligible to participate in this Plan. If the SVPHR designates the
reclassified individual as being an Eligible Employee, then the individual shall
become a Participant, effective as of the first day of the Plan Year immediately
following the Plan Year in which the individual becomes an Eligible Employee.

3.2 Date of Initial Participation

	(a)	 	If an Employee was a participant in the Plan on December 31, 2008 and continues to be an
Eligible Employee on January 1, 2009, then the Employee shall continue to be a Participant in
this Plan on January 1, 2009.
	 
	(b)	 	If an Eligible Employee was not a Participant in the Plan on December 31, 2008, then the
Eligible Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan effective as of January 1 of the Plan
Year (the “Initial Participation Plan Year”) immediately following the Plan Year in which the
Employee is notified by the SVPHR that the Employee has become an Eligible Employee, if the
Employee continues to be an Eligible Employee on that January 1.
	 
	(c)	 	If an Eligible Employee becomes a Participant in accordance with Section 3.2(b), then the
Participant shall not be eligible to make a Deferral Election with respect to any Base Pay for
or any Bonus attributable to any Plan Year beginning before the Initial Participation Plan
Year. Similarly, no Matching Credits, Profit Sharing Credits or QNEC Credits shall be credited
with respect to any Plan Year before the Initial Participation Plan Year. The Participant
shall make a deferral election with respect to the Initial Participation Plan Year in
accordance with Section 4.1.

3.3 Effect of Ineligibility

	(a)	 	The rules in this Section 3.3 apply if a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee,
but has not yet had a Separation From Service (an “Inactive
Participant”).

14

 

	(b)	 	The Inactive Participant may not elect to defer any Base Pay for or any Bonus attributable to
a Plan Year beginning after the Plan Year in which the Inactive Participant ceased to be an
Eligible Employee. The Inactive Participant’s Deferral Election shall continue to apply to any
Base Pay for and any Bonus attributable to the Plan Year in which the Participant becomes
ineligible, as provided in
Section 4.2(j).
	 
	(c)	 	Any amounts credited to the Inactive Participant’s Account shall continue to be credited with
Interest Credits, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, until payment is made in
accordance with Article 6.
	 
	(d)	 	The following rules shall apply with respect to the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit:

	 	(1)	 	Until the Inactive Participant has a Termination of Employment, the Inactive
Participant may elect a withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.2
(relating to hardship withdrawals of Grandfathered Benefits) or Section 6.4 (relating
to early benefit payments with respect to Grandfathered Benefits). After Termination
of Employment, an Inactive Participant may not elect a withdrawal of his or her
Grandfathered Benefit in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 (relating to
hardship benefit payments) or
Section 6.4 (relating to early benefit payments).
	 
	 	(2)	 	Until the Inactive Participant has a Termination of Employment, the Inactive
Participant may change his or her Distribution Election with respect to Grandfathered
Benefits, in accordance with Section 6.5(f). However, after Termination of Employment,
the Participant may not change his or her prior Distribution Election with respect to
his or her Grandfathered Benefit.

	(e)	 	The following rules shall apply with respect to the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit:

	 	(1)	 	Until the earlier of the dates on which an Inactive Participant has a
Termination of Employment or a Separation From Service, the Inactive Participant may
elect a withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.3 (relating to
hardship withdrawals of Nongrandfathered Benefits). After the earlier of the
Participant’s Termination of Employment or Separation From Service, an Inactive
Participant may not elect a withdrawal of his or her Grandfathered Benefit in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3.
	 
	 	(2)	 	A Participant may not change his or her prior Distribution Election with
respect to his or her Nongrandfathered Benefit.

15

 

3.4 Resumption of Eligibility

If a Participant has a Separation From Service or otherwise ceases to be an Eligible
Employee and later again becomes an Eligible Employee of a Participating Employer, then he or she
shall again become a Participant, effective as of January 1 of the Plan Year immediately following
the Plan Year in which the Participant again becomes an Eligible Employee.

16

 

Article 4. Participant Deferrals

4.1 Deferral Elections

	(a)	 	A Participant may elect to defer all or a portion of his or her Base Pay for or Bonus
attributable to a Plan Year.

	 	(1)	 	A Deferral Election for a Plan Year shall apply to Base Pay for that Plan
Year and any Bonus attributable to that Plan Year. For example, a Deferral Election
for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2011, would apply to Base Pay paid in 2011 and
any Bonus attributable to 2011, even if that Bonus is paid in 2012.
	 
	 	(2)	 	In his or her Deferral Election for a Plan Year, the Participant may elect

	 	(A)	 	To defer from 0 percent to 100 percent, in any whole increment of 1
percent, of his or her Base Pay payments that are paid in the Plan Year,
	 
	 	(B)	 	To defer from 0 percent to 100 percent, in any whole increment of 1
percent, of his or her Bonus that is attributable to that Plan Year, and
	 
	 	(C)	 	Different deferral percentages for the deferrals of Base Pay paid
in a Plan Year and the deferral of any Bonus attributable to that Plan Year. For
example, a Participant might elect to defer 10 percent of his or her Base Pay
paid in the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2011, and
100 percent of his or her Bonus that is attributable to that Plan Year.

	 	(b)	 	When the SVPHR determines that an Eligible Employee is a Participant, the SVPHR (or a person
to whom the SVPHR may delegate that responsibility) shall notify the Participant that the
Participant may make a Deferral Election for the first Plan Year in which the Eligible
Employee becomes a Participant. The Deferral Election for the initial Plan Year of
Participation must be made before the beginning of that Plan Year in which the Eligible
Employee will become a Participant and during such election period for that Plan Year as the
Plan Administrator may specify. The Deferral Election shall apply to all Base Pay for and any
Bonus attributable to the initial Plan Year of participation.
	 
	 	(c)	 	For all Plan Years after the Plan Year in which the Eligible Employee becomes a Participant,
the Participant may make an affirmative Deferral Election before the beginning of that Plan
Year and during such election period as the Plan Administrator may specify. If the Participant
fails to make an affirmative Deferral Election for a Plan Year before the deadline specified
for a Deferral Election for that Plan Year, then no Base Pay paid in that Plan Year and no
Bonus attributable to that Plan Year shall be deferred under this Plan. In the Deferral
Election for a Plan Year, the Participant may specify different deferral percentages than
applied

17

 

	 	 	 	for the prior Plan Year. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 4.2, a Deferral Election for a Plan Year beginning
after the Plan Year in which the Eligible Employee becomes
a Participant shall apply to all Base Pay for and any Bonus
attributable to that Plan Year.

4.2 Other Rules for Deferral Elections

	(a)	 	A Deferral Election is an election by a Participant to have his or her Base Pay or Bonus
reduced, in accordance with the election, and to have the same amount credited to the
Participant’s Account under this Plan.
	 
	(b)	 	All Deferral Elections shall be made in such manner, at such times, using such forms, and in
accordance with such rules, as the Plan Administrator shall prescribe, in its discretion.
	 
	(c)	 	An Eligible Employee shall not be provided an opportunity to make a Deferral Election until
the SVPHR has determined that the Employee has satisfied the requirements for initial Plan
Participation, pursuant to Sections 3.1—3.2.
	 
	(d)	 	Once the deadline for making a Deferral Election for a Plan Year has passed, a Participant
may not elect any changes in his or her Deferral Election for that Plan Year. However, a
Participant’s deferrals for that Plan Year may be cancelled under the provisions of Section
6.2(f) (relating to deferrals cancelled after a hardship withdrawal from a Participant’s
Grandfathered Benefit), Section 6.3(g) (relating to deferrals cancelled after a hardship
withdrawal from a Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit), and Section 4.2(g) (relating to
hardship withdrawals under the Salaried 401(k) Plan).
	 
	(e)	 	In no event shall a Deferral Election apply to Base Pay or a Bonus that the Participant could
have received in cash before the Deferral Election was made.
	 
	(f)	 	The Plan Administrator may specify the order in which deferrals elected under this Plan are
deducted from the Participant’s Base Pay and Bonus, relative to other deductions elected by
the Participant (e.g., contributions for health and welfare benefits) and other withholdings
from the Participant’s Base Pay and Bonus (e.g., for income and employment taxes). For
example, the full amount that the Participant elected to have deferred may not be deducted
because less than that amount remains after other payroll deductions that are higher in the
payroll withholding hierarchy.
	 
	(g)	 	If a Participant elects a hardship withdrawal under Section 7.4 of the Salaried 401(k) Plan,
then the Participant’s Deferral Election shall automatically be cancelled during the six-month
period starting on the date that the Participant receives the hardship withdrawal. However, a
Participant’s Deferral Election may be cancelled for a longer period if the provisions of
Section 6.2(f) (relating to

18

 

	 	 	hardship withdrawals of Grandfathered Benefits) or Section 6.3(g) (relating to hardship
withdrawals of Nongrandfathered Benefits) also apply.

	 	(1)	 	If the six-month cancellation period ends during the same Plan Year in which
it began, then the Participant’s Deferral Election for that Plan Year shall not be
reinstated for the remainder of the Plan Year.
	 
	 	(2)	 	If the six-month cancellation period ends during the Plan Year (the
“Following Plan Year”) after the Plan Year in which it began, then any Deferral
Election that the Participant made for the Following Plan Year shall not go into
effect until immediately after the cancellation period ends. Any Deferral Election
made for the Following Plan Year shall be made before the beginning of that Plan Year
and during the election period for the Following Plan Year that is specified under
Section 4.1(c).

	(h)	 	If a Participant goes on a paid leave of absence (e.g., certain military leaves) that is
authorized by his or her Participating Employer and continues to receive Base Pay from the
Participating Employer’s payroll (as opposed to receiving income continuation paid by another
person, such as under a disability insurance contract), then the Participant’s Deferral
Election for that Plan Year shall continue to apply to all Base Pay for that Plan Year that is
paid during the leave.
	 
	(i)	 	If a Participant goes on an unpaid leave of absence (including a leave of absence on account
of disability), then the Participant’s Deferral Election shall be suspended. When the
Participant resumes paid employment, the Participant’s Deferral Election for the Plan Year in
which the leave began shall continue to apply to Base Pay paid in that Plan Year after the
return from the unpaid leave of absence. If the Participant resumes paid employment in a Plan
Year after the Plan Year in which the unpaid leave began, then the Participant’s Deferral
Election for the Plan Year in which the Participant resumes paid employment shall apply to
Base Pay for and any Bonus attributable to that Plan Year. Any Deferral Election made for the
Plan Year in which paid employment resumes shall be made before the beginning of that Plan
Year and during the election period for that Plan Year that is specified under Section 4.1(c).
	 
	(j)	 	If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee, but has not yet had a Separation From
Service, then the inactive Participant’s Deferral Election for the Plan Year in which he or
she ceases to be an Eligible Employee shall continue to apply to any Base Pay for that Plan
Year (including Base Pay paid after the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee) and any
Bonus paid by his or her Participating Employer that is attributable to that Plan Year.

19

 

	(k)	 	If a Participant transfers to employment with a Controlled Group Member, then the Deferral
Election for the year in which his or her employment transfers shall apply as follows:

	 	(1)	 	The Deferral Election shall apply to any Base Pay for or Bonus attributable
to that Plan Year that is paid by a Participating Employer.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Deferral Election shall not apply to any compensation paid by a
Controlled Group Member that is not a Participating Employer.

	(l)	 	The rules in this Section 4.2(l) apply with respect to payments of Base Pay for or a Bonus
attributable to the Plan Year within which the Participant has a Separation From Service, if
those payments are made after the Participant’s Separation From Service. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 4.2(n), these Base Pay and Bonus payments shall be deferred, pursuant to
the Participant’s Deferral Election for the Plan Year in which the Participant has a
Separation From Service, only as follows:

	 	(1)	 	The Participant’s Deferral Election shall apply to Base Pay for the payroll
period that includes the Participant’s Separation From Service date. The Participant’s
Deferral Election shall not apply to any other payments of Base Pay for later payroll
periods in the Plan Year that includes the Participant’s Separation From Service.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Participant’s Deferral Election shall apply to any Bonus that is
scheduled to be paid in the payroll period that includes the Participant’s Separation
From Service date. The Participant’s Deferral Election shall not apply to any Bonus
that is scheduled to be paid after the end of that payroll period.

	(m)	 	If a Participant has a Separation From Service and later is reemployed by a Participating
Employer and again becomes a Participant in a Plan Year after the Plan Year in which the
Participant had the Separation From Service, then the Participant must make a new Deferral
Election for any Base Pay for and any Bonus attributable to the Plan Year in which he or she
again becomes a Participant.
	 
	(n)	 	The rules in this Section 4.2(n) apply if a Participant has a Separation From Service and
later is reemployed by a Participating Employer within the same Plan Year as the Plan Year in
which he or she had a Separation From Service, whether or not the individual is designated,
within this Plan Year, as again being eligible to participate in the Plan. In this situation,
in addition to applying to the compensation described in Section 4.2(l), the Deferral Election
made before the Separation From Service shall apply to the following compensation:

20

 

	 	(1)	 	Any remaining Base Pay for that Plan Year, beginning with Base Pay for the
payroll period that includes the date on which the Participant is reemployed by a
Participating Employer.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Any Bonus attributable to that Plan Year.

4.3 Deferral Credits

	(a)	 	As of each pay period, a Base Pay Deferral Credit shall be credited to a Participant’s
Account in an amount equal to the amount by which the Participant’s Base Pay for that pay
period was reduced on account of the Participant’s Deferral Election under this Plan.
	 
	(b)	 	As of each date on which a Bonus would be paid but for a Deferral Election, a Bonus Deferral
Credit shall be credited to the Participant’s Account in an amount equal to the amount by
which the Participant’s Bonus was reduced on account of the Participant’s Deferral Election
under this Plan.

21

 

Article 5. Company Credits

5.1 Eligibility for Company Credits

	(a)	 	A Participant’s Account shall be credited with the amounts specified in this Article 5
beginning with the Plan Year in which he or she becomes a Participant in the Plan and for each
subsequent Plan Year in which he or she continues to be an Eligible Employee.
	 
	(b)	 	A Matching Credit for a Plan Year shall be credited to a Participant’s Account for a Plan
Year only if the Participant satisfies either the requirements of Section 5.1(b)(1) or the
requirements of Section 5.1(b)(2) for that Plan Year. The requirements of this Section 5.1(b)
are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(e)(6)(iii)
(relating to the anti-conditioning rule) and shall be construed in such a way as to ensure
that the requirements of that regulation are satisfied.

	 	(1)	 	A Participant satisfies the requirements of this Section 5.1(b)(1) for a Plan
Year if the Participant elects the maximum Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions
and the maximum Salaried 401(k) Plan Catch-Up Contributions permitted for that Plan
Year under the terms of the Salaried 401(k) Plan.

	 	(A)	 	For example, if for a Plan Year the maximum deferral percentage for
Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions deferred under the Salaried 401(k)
Plan is 50 percent, a Participant is not eligible to make Salaried 401(k) Plan
Catch-up Contributions under Code Section 414(v) for the Plan Year, and the
Participant elects Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions at a deferral rate
of 50 percent for the entire portion of that Plan Year during which the
Participant is eligible to elect such deferrals, then the Participant would
satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.1(b)(1), even if the Participant did
not make the maximum Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions permitted under
Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) (relating to the annual dollar limit on 401(k)
deferrals) for that Plan Year.
	 
	 	(B)	 	If a Participant is eligible to make Salaried 401(k) Plan Catch-Up
Contributions, then the Salaried 401(k) Plan permits the Participant to defer,
each pay period, any amount up to the annual limit on catch-up contributions
under Code Section 402(g)(1)(C). Accordingly, if a Participant is eligible to
make Salaried 401(k) Plan Catch-up Contributions under Code Section 414(v) for a
Plan Year, then to satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.1(b)(1) for that
Plan Year with respect to catch-up contributions, the Participant must elect,
during the portion

22

 

	 	 	 	of the Plan Year in which he or she is eligible to contribute to the Salaried
401(k) Plan, the lesser of the following amounts:

	 	(i)	 	The maximum annual contribution amount for Salaried
401(k) Plan Catch-up Contributions permitted under Code Section 402(g)(1)(C)
for that Plan Year.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	All compensation that is deferrable under the Salaried
401(k) Plan for the pay period, after taking into account 401(k) Plan
Pre-Tax Contributions and other deductions from wages that are taken before
Salaried 401(k) Plan deferrals.

	 	(2)	 	A Participant satisfies the requirements of this Section 5.1(b)(2) for a Plan
Year if the Participant elects the maximum Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions
under the Salaried 401(k) Plan that are permitted for that Plan Year under Code Section
402(g)(1)(B), along with the maximum Salaried 401(k) Plan Catch-up Contributions for
that Plan Year permitted under Code Section 402(g)(1)(C). In determining whether a
Participant has made the maximum Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions and the
maximum Salaried 401(k) Plan Catch-up Contributions permitted under Code Section
402(g), the rules in Treasury Regulations Section 1.402(g)-1(b), that take into account
elective deferrals under plans other than the Salaried 401(k) Plan, shall be applied.
For example, if for a Plan Year, the Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) limit is $16,500 and the
Participant is not eligible to make catch-up contributions under Code Section 414(v),
and the Participant makes $5,000 in “elective deferrals,” as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3), to a prior
employer’s 401(k) plan, and later in that Plan Year makes $11,500 in Salaried 401(k)
Plan Pre-Tax Contributions to the Salaried 401(k) Plan, then the Participant could not
make more than $11,500 in Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions to the Salaried
401(k) Plan without violating the limit under Code Section 402(g). In this case, the
Participant would satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.1(b)(2), even if the
Participant did not elect to make Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions to the
Salaried 401(k) Plan at the maximum deferral rate permitted under the terms of the
Salaried 401(k) Plan. If the Participant also were eligible to make Salaried 401(k)
Plan Catch-up Contributions and had not made any such catch-up contributions to the
prior employer’s plan, then the Participant also would need to make the maximum
possible Salaried 401(k) Plan Catch-up Contributions permitted under Code Section
402(g)(1)(C) for that Plan Year in order to satisfy the requirements of this Section
5.1(b)(2).

	(c)	 	A Profit Sharing Credit for a Plan Year shall be credited to a Participant’s Account only if
the Participant is employed by a Participating Employer on December 31 of

23

 

	 	 	that Plan Year. A Participant who is employed by a Participating Employer on December 31 of
a Plan Year shall receive a Profit Sharing Credit for that Plan Year even if the
Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee at some point after January 1 of that Plan
Year and even if the Participant is on an authorized leave of absence from the Company on
December 31.
	 
	(d)	 	A QNEC Credit for a Plan Year shall be credited to a Participant’s Account only if a Salaried
401(k) Plan QNEC Contribution is allocated to that Participant, under the Salaried 401(k)
Plan, with respect to that Plan Year.
	 
	(e)	 	A Special Credit shall be credited to a Participant’s Account for a Plan Year only if the
Participant satisfies such conditions as the Company may specify in its discretion. The
Company shall inform the Plan Administrator when the Participant has satisfied the conditions
for a Special Credit and the amount of such Special Credit.

5.2 Matching Credits

	(a)	 	Except for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2009, and the Plan Year beginning January
1, 2010, Matching Credits for each Plan Year shall be determined under this Section 5.2(a). If
a Participant is eligible, under Section 5.1(b), to be credited with Matching Credits for a
Plan Year, then Matching Credits shall be credited for that Plan Year to the Participant’s
Account equal to the amount in Section 5.2(a)(1) minus the amount in Section 5.2(a)(2) where
the amounts in Section 5.2(a)(1) and Section 5.2(a)(2) are as follows:

	 	(1)	 	The amount in this Section 5.2(a)(1) is equal to the sum of the amounts in
Section 5.2(a)(1)(A), Section 5.2(a)(1)(B) and Section 5.2(a)(1)(C), but only to the
extent that this sum does not exceed 6 percent of the Participant’s Plan Compensation
for the Plan Year. The amounts in Section 5.2(a)(1)(A)–(C) are as follows:

	 	(A)	 	The total of the Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions that
the Participant makes to the Salaried 401(k) Plan for the Plan Year. However,
Salaried 401(k) Plan Catch-Up Contributions are not taken into account in this
Section 5.2(a)(1).
	 
	 	(B)	 	The total of the Base Pay Deferral Credits that were credited to
the Participant for the Plan Year with respect to Base Pay that would have been
payable in that Plan Year.
	 
	 	(C)	 	The total of the Bonus Deferral Credits that were credited to the
Participant with respect to any Bonus that would have been payable in that Plan
Year, even if the Deferral Election with respect to that Bonus was made in a
prior Plan Year.

Section 5.2(b). If a Participant is eligible, under Section 5.1(b), to be credited with
Matching Credits for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2009, then Matching Credits shall be
credited for that Plan Year to the Participant’s Account equal to the amount in Section
5.2(b)(1) plus the amount in Section 5.2(b)(2).

	 	(A)	 	The amount in this Section 5.2(b)(1)(A) is equal to 100 percent of
the amount of the First Half of 2009 Matched Deferrals. For purposes of this
Section 5.2(b)(1)(A), the amount of the “First Half of 2009 Matched Deferrals”
equals the sum of the amounts in Section 5.2(b)(1)(A)(i), Section
5.2(b)(1)(A)(ii) and Section 5.2(b)(1)(A)(iii) that are contributed with respect
to elective deferrals deducted from compensation otherwise payable during the

Pre-Tax Contributions that the Participant makes to the Salaried
401(k) Plan with respect to compensation otherwise payable during
the period January 1 to June 30, 2009. However, Salaried 401(k) Plan
Catch-Up Contributions are not taken into account in this Section

5.2(b)(2)(A)(ii) and Section 5.2(b)(2)(A)(iii) that are contributed with respect
to elective deferrals deducted from compensation otherwise payable during the

	 	(i)	 	The total of the Salaried 401(k) Plan
Pre-Tax Contributions that the Participant makes to the Salaried
401(k) Plan with respect to compensation otherwise payable during

the Salaried 401(k) Plan Matching Contributions allocated to the Participant with
respect to elective deferrals made with respect to compensation otherwise payable
during the period July 1 to December 31, 2009.

	(c)	 	Matching Credits for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2010, shall be determined under this
Section 5.2(c). If a Participant is eligible under Section

26

 

	 	 	5.1(b) to be credited with Matching Credits for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2010,
then Matching Credits shall be credited for that Plan Year to the Participant’s Account
equal to the amount in Section 5.2(c)(1) plus the amount in Section 5.2(c)(2).

	 	(1)	 	The amount in this Section 5.2(c)(1) is equal to the amount in Section
5.2(c)(1)(A) minus the amount in 5.2(c)(1)(B) where the amounts in Section

27

 

	(2)	 	The amount in this Section 5.2(c)(2) is equal to the amount in Section

Account as soon as is practicable after December 31 of that Plan Year and after all

28

 

5.3 Profit Sharing Credits

	(a)	 	If a Participant is eligible under Section 5.1(c) to be credited with Profit Sharing
Credits for a Plan Year, then a Profit Sharing Credit shall be credited for that Plan Year to
the Participant’s Account in an amount equal to the amount in Section 5.3(a)(1) minus the
amount in 5.3(a)(2) (but not in an amount less than $0), where the amounts in Section
5.3(a)(1) and Section 5.3(a)(2) are as follows:

	 	(1)	 	The amount in this Section 5.3(a)(1) is equal to the product of the
Participant’s Plan Compensation for the Plan Year and the Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit
Sharing Percentage for that Plan Year. For example, if the Participant’s Plan
Compensation for 2010 were $300,000 and the Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit Sharing
Percentage for 2010 were 5 percent, then the amount in this Section 5.3(a)(1) for the
Plan Year ending December 31, 2010, would be $15,000 (i.e., $300,000 × 5 percent). The
Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit Sharing Percentage for a Plan Year may be zero.
	 
	 	 	 	The “Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit Sharing Percentage” for a Participant for a Plan Year
shall be equal to the amount of the Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit Sharing Contributions
allocated to the Participant for that Plan Year, divided by the amount of Salaried
401(k) Plan Deferrable Compensation taken into account under the Salaried 401(k) Plan
for purposes of determining the amount of the Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit Sharing
Contribution that is allocated to the Participant for that Plan Year, reflecting any
limitation on the amount of Salaried 401(k) Plan Deferrable Compensation used under
the Salaried 401(k) Plan for this purpose (such as any limitation on account of
	 
	 	 	 	Code Section 401(a)(17)). For example, if a Participant were allocated $12,250 as his
or her Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit Sharing Contribution for the Plan Year ending
December 31, 2009, and, because of Code Section 401(a)(17), the amount of Salaried
401(k) Plan Deferrable Compensation taken into account under the Salaried 401(k) Plan
to determine that allocation were $245,000 (notwithstanding the fact that the
Participant’s total Plan Compensation was $300,000), then the Participant’s Salaried
401(k) Plan Profit Sharing Percentage for that Plan Year would be 5 percent (i.e.,
$12,250 ÷ $245,000).
	 
	 	(2)	 	The amount in this Section 5.3(a)(2) is equal to the amount of the Salaried
401(k) Plan Profit Sharing Contributions allocated to the Participant with respect to
the Plan Year.

	(b)	 	Any Profit Sharing Credits with respect to a Plan Year shall be credited to the Participant’s
Account as soon as is practicable after December 31 of that Plan Year and after all
information required to compute the amount of the Profit Sharing Credits is available.

29

 

5.4 QNEC Credits

	(a)	 	If a Participant is eligible under Section 5.1(d) to be credited with QNEC Credits for a Plan
Year, then a QNEC Credit shall be credited for that Plan Year to the Participant’s Account in
an amount equal to the amount in Section 5.4(a)(1) minus the amount in Section 5.4(a)(2) (but
not in an amount less than $0), where the amounts in Section 5.4(a)(1) and Section 5.4(a)(2)
are as follows:

	 	(1)	 	The amount in this Section 5.4(a)(1) is equal to the product of the
Participant’s Plan Compensation for the Plan Year and the Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC
Percentage for that Plan Year. For example, if the Participant’s Plan Compensation for
2010 were $300,000 and the Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC Percentage for 2010 were 2
percent, then the amount in this Section 5.4(a)(1) for the Plan Year ending December
31, 2010, would be $6,000 (i.e., $300,000 × 2 percent). The Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC
Percentage for a Plan Year may be zero.
	 
	 	 	 	The “Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC Percentage” for a Participant for a Plan Year shall be
equal to the amount of the Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC Contributions allocated to the
Participant for that Plan Year, divided by the total amount of Salaried 401(k) Plan
Deferrable Compensation taken into account under the Salaried 401(k) Plan for purposes
of determining the amount of any Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC Contribution that is
allocated to the Participant for that Plan Year, reflecting any limitation on the
amount of Salaried 401(k) Plan Deferrable Compensation used under the Salaried 401(k)
Plan for this purpose (such as any limitation on account of Code Section 401(a)(17)).
For example, if a Participant were allocated $4,900 as his or her Salaried 401(k) Plan
QNEC Contribution for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2010, and, because of Code
Section 401(a)(17), the amount of Salaried 401(k) Plan Deferrable Compensation taken
into account under the Salaried 401(k) Plan to determine that allocation were $245,000
(notwithstanding the fact that the Participant’s total Plan Compensation was
$300,000), then the Participant’s Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC Percentage for that Plan
Year would be 2 percent (i.e., $4,900 ÷ $245,000).
	 
	 	(2)	 	The amount in this Section 5.4(a)(2) is equal to the amount of the Salaried
401(k) Plan QNEC Contributions allocated to the Participant with respect to the Plan
Year.

	(b)	 	Any QNEC Credits with respect to a Plan Year shall be credited to the Participant’s Account
as soon as is practicable after December 31 of that Plan Year and after all information
required to compute the amount of the QNEC Credits is available.

30

 

	5.5	 	Special Credits
	 

	The Company may, in its discretion, specify that Special Credits shall be allocated to a
Participant under conditions established by the Company, which shall comply with the requirements
of Code Section 409A. The Company shall document the conditions under which Special Credits shall
be credited and the amount of such credits. Any such documentation is hereby incorporated by
reference into the terms of this Plan. The Company shall determine, in its discretion, whether a
Participant has satisfied the requirements for a Special Credit. If the Company determines that a
Participant satisfies all conditions specified by the Company for a Special Credit for a Plan Year,
then Special Credits in the amount specified by the Company shall be credited to the Account of a
Participant at such time as the Company may specify in its discretion.
	 

	5.6	 	Special Rules for Allocation of Company Credits

	(a)	 	If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee after the first day of a Plan Year
for a reason other than Separation From Service, then the following rules shall apply for
purposes of determining the amount of any Matching Credits, Profit Sharing Credits and QNEC
Credits for that Plan Year:
	 
	(b)	 	The requirements of Section 5.1(b) (relating to the anti-conditioning rule) must be
satisfied, taking into account Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions and Salaried 401(k)
Plan Catch-up Contributions for the entire Plan Year.
	 
	(c)	 	Plan Compensation taken into account under the first sentence of Section 5.2(a)(1) (relating
to the 6 percent cap on Matching Credits) shall include all Plan Compensation for the Plan
Year, including Plan Compensation paid after the date on which the Participant ceased to be an
Eligible Employee. Plan Compensation taken into account under the first sentence of Section
5.3(a)(1) (relating to the Plan Compensation used to determine the Participant’s Profit
Sharing Credit) and the first sentence of Section 5.4(a)(1) (relating to the Plan Compensation
used to determine the Participant’s QNEC Credit) shall include all Plan Compensation for any
payroll period in the Plan Year during which the Participant is an Eligible Employee, but
shall not include including Plan Compensation for any payroll period during which the
Participant is not an Eligible Employee. Plan Compensation taken into account under the first
sentences of Sections 5.2(b)(1)(A), 5.2(b)(2)(B), 5.2(c)(1)(A), and 5.2(c)(2)(A),
respectively, (relating to the percentage caps on Matching Credits) shall include all Plan
Compensation for the period stated therein, including Plan Compensation paid after the date on
which the Participant ceased to be an Eligible Employee.
	 
	(d)	 	Salaried 401(k) Plan Pre-Tax Contributions for the entire Plan Year shall be taken into
account for purposes of Section 5.2.

31

 

	(e)	 	Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit Sharing Contributions for the entire Plan Year shall be taken
into account for purposes of Section 5.3.
	 
	(f)	 	Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC Contributions for the entire Plan Year shall be taken into account
for purposes of Section 5.4.

5.7 Interest Credits

	(a)	 	If amounts were credited to a Participant’s Account before January 1, 2002, under the
EDCP, then the amount of the Interest Credits due for periods before January 1, 2002, shall be
determined under the terms of the EDCP.
	 
	(b)	 	For periods on or after January 1, 2002, Interest Credits shall be credited to a
Participant’s Account in the following amounts and starting at the following times:

	 	(1)	 	Interest Credits shall start to be credited with respect to a Base Pay
Deferral Credit, effective starting as of the date on which the Base Pay, from which
the deferral was elected, would have been paid in cash to the Participant, but for the
Deferral Election.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Interest Credits shall start to be credited with respect to a Bonus Deferral
Credit, effective starting as of the date on which the Bonus, from which the deferral
was elected, would have been paid in cash to the Participant, but for the Deferral
Election.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Interest Credits shall start to be credited on the Matching Credits credited
with respect to a Plan Year (the “First Plan Year”) starting effective in the Plan
Year immediately following the First Plan Year (the “Second
Plan Year”). Interest
Credits on the Matching Credits for the First Plan Year shall be credited in the
Second Plan Year, starting effective as of the first day of the first month beginning
after the last day of the payroll period in the Second Plan Year in which the final
portions of the Matching Credits for the First Plan Year are taken into account for
all Participants who continue to be Employees for purposes of determining their
Federal FICA taxes due, under the rules in Code Section 3121(v) (relating to FICA due on deferred compensation), on account of
their Matching Credits for the First Plan Year. For example, if the exact amount of
the Matching Credit for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2010, were determined on
January 5, 2011, and the remaining amount of that Matching Credit were taken into
account during the payroll period ending January 17, 2011, for purposes of determining
the FICA taxes due under Code Section 3121(v), then Interest Credits on the Matching
Credit for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2010, would be credited starting as of
February 1, 2011.

32

 

	 	(A)	 	The amount of the Interest Credit credited to a Participant on the
first day of the applicable month in the Second Plan Year shall be equal to the
total amount of the Interest Credits that would have been credited if

	 	(i)	 	One-twenty-sixth (i.e., 1/26) of the Participant’s
total Matching Credits for the First Plan Year had been credited to the
Participant’s Account each bi-weekly payroll period in the First Plan Year
(regardless of when Base Pay Deferral Credits were actually credited to
the Participant’s Account during the First Plan Year) and Interest Credits
started to be credited on each bi-weekly portion of the Matching Credit on
that bi-weekly payroll date, as determined in accordance with the Interest
Rate in effect for the First Plan Year, and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Starting January 1 of the Second Plan Year, Interest
Credits had been credited on the Matching Credits for the First Plan Year
(along with the initial Interest Credits described in Section
5.7(b)(3)(A)(i)) as determined in accordance with the Interest Rate for
the Second Plan Year.

	 	(B)	 	Starting after the first day of the applicable month in the Second
Plan Year, Interest Credits shall be credited for the rest of the Second Plan
Year on the amount described in Section 5.7(b)(3)(A) as determined in accordance
with the Interest Rate for the Second Plan Year.

	 	(4)	 	Interest Credits shall start to be credited on the Profit Sharing Credits
credited for a Plan Year (the “First Plan Year”) starting effective in the Plan Year
immediately following the First Plan Year (the “Second Plan
Year”). Interest Credits
on the Profit Sharing Credit for the First Plan Year shall be credited in the Second
Plan Year, starting effective as of the first day of the first month beginning after
the last day of the payroll period in the Second Plan Year in which the Profit Sharing
Credits for the First Plan Year are taken into account for all Participants who
continue to be Employees for purposes of determining their Federal FICA taxes due,
under the rules in Code Section 3121(v) (relating to FICA due on deferred
compensation), on account of their Profit Sharing Credits for the First Plan Year. For
example, if the amount of the Profit Sharing Credit for the Plan Year ending December
31, 2010, were determined on March 13, 2011, and the amount of that Profit Sharing
Credit were taken into account during the payroll period ending March 28, 2011, for
purposes of determining the FICA taxes due under Code Section 3121(v), then Interest
Credits on the Profit Sharing Credit for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2010, would
be credited starting as of April 1, 2011.

33

 

	 	(A)	 	The amount of the Interest Credit credited to a Participant on the
first day of the applicable month in the Second Plan Year shall be equal to the
total amount of the Interest Credits that would have been credited if the Profit
Sharing Credit had been credited to the Participant’s Account on December 31 of
the First Plan Year and Interest Credits had started to be credited on the First
Plan Year’s Profit Sharing Credit starting on January 1 of the Second Plan Year,
as determined in accordance with the Interest Rate in effect for the Second Plan
Year.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Starting after the first day of the applicable month in the Second
Plan Year, Interest Credits shall be credited for the rest of the Second Plan
Year, on the amount described in Section 5.7(b)(4)(A), as determined in
accordance with the Interest Rate for the Second Plan Year.

	 	(5)	 	Interest Credits shall be credited with respect to QNEC Credits in the same
manner as Interest Credits are credited to Profit-Sharing Credits in accordance with
Section 5.7(b)(4).
	 
	 	(6)	 	Interest Credits shall start to be credited on any Special Credits credited
to a Participant for a Plan Year, starting effective as of the first day of the first
month beginning after the last day of the payroll period in which the Special Credit
is taken into account for that Participant for purposes of determining his or her
Federal FICA taxes due, under the rules in Code Section 3121(v) (relating to FICA due
on deferred compensation), on account of the Special Credit.

	(c)	 	Before the beginning of each Plan Year, the Committee (not acting as the Plan Administrator)
shall determine, in its complete discretion, the Interest Rate for that Plan Year.

	 	(1)	 	The Committee may specify that a different rate shall be used for different
portions of a particular Plan Year (e.g., a different rate may be used for each
calendar quarter in the Plan Year).
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Committee may specify that a different rate shall be used for different
contributions credited for a Plan Year (e.g., a specified rate shall be used each
calendar quarter for Base Pay Deferral Credits and that an arithmetic average of the
quarterly specified rates shall be used for the Matching Credits).
	 
	 	(3)	 	After specifying a Interest Rate for a Plan Year, the Committee may later
specify that a different Interest Rate shall apply for purposes of determining the
Interest Credit for periods in that Plan Year after the date on which the Committee
specifies the new rate. For example, if a particular rate was

34

 

	 	 	 	specified for Base Pay Deferral Credits credited during the first quarter of the Plan
Year, in the middle of the first quarter the Committee may specify that a different
rate shall apply for Base Pay Deferral Credits credited with respect to Base Pay paid
later in the first quarter.
	 
	 	(4)	 	The Committee may determine different Interest Rates for different Plan
Years.
	 
	 	(5)	 	Except as provided in Section 5.7(b), Interest Credits shall be credited
during a Plan Year, both on amounts credited during a Plan Year and amounts credited
in previous Plan Years, at the Interest Rate in effect for that Plan Year. The
Committee shall establish rules for crediting Interest Credits.

5.8 Valuation of Accounts

	(a)	 	The value of a Participant’s Account on a particular date shall be equal to the sum of
any amounts credited to the Account on or before that date (i.e., deferrals under the EDCP,
Base Pay Deferral Credits, Bonus Deferral Credits, Matching Credits, Profit Sharing Credits,
QNEC Credits, and Special Credits), plus any Interest Credits credited through that date on
such amounts, minus any amounts previously debited from the Account (e.g., on account of a
benefit payment, or for the payment of taxes).
	 
	(b)	 	Whenever a benefit payment is made to a Participant or Beneficiary (or an amount is deducted
from a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Account to satisfy tax withholding amounts paid by the
Participating Employer or for other purposes permitted under the terms of the Plan), then a
corresponding amount shall be deducted from the Participant’s Account.

5.9 Vesting

Except as provided in Section 6.4 (relating to the 10 percent penalty for early payment
benefits), the interest of a Participant in his or her Account shall be 100 percent vested and
nonforfeitable at all times.

connection with Termination of Employment), and Section 6.9 (relating to payments made
on account of premature taxation).
	 
	 	(2)	 	After the death of a Participant, any remaining balance of the Participant’s

any other retirement plan, including amounts that the Participant could withdraw on
account of hardship.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Amounts that the Participant could receive as a nontaxable (at the time made)
loan from the Salaried 401(k) Plan, or any other retirement plan, unless assumption of
the obligation to repay the loan would exacerbate the financial emergency.

reduce or stop

emergency, and that no other resources are

37

 

	 	 	reasonably available to the Participant to meet the unforeseeable financial emergency.

or her Nongrandfathered Benefits under the rules in this Section 6.3.
	 
	(b)	 	A Participant may elect a withdrawal under this Section 6.3 only if the Plan Administrator

Benefits, pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Participant shall first satisfy his or her
financial need from the amounts available for withdrawal under this Section 6.3.
	 
	(e)	 	A Participant shall submit an application, in accordance with procedures specified by the
Plan Administrator, requesting a withdrawal under this Section 6.3 and shall submit written
proof satisfactory to the Plan Administrator of the following: that the Participant has an
unforeseeable emergency, the amount reasonably needed to meet the financial emergency, and
that no other resources are reasonably available to the Participant to meet the unforeseeable
financial emergency.
	 
	(f)	 	Upon determination by the Plan Administrator that a Participant has suffered an unforeseeable

funds would be withdrawn from the Participant’s account pursuant to this Section 6.3.

	(g)	 	Notwithstanding the Participant’s prior Deferral Election, if a Participant receives a

6.3, no amounts shall be deferred from any Base Pay for or any Bonus attributable to the Plan
Year in which the amount is paid to the Participant, pursuant to this Section 6.3, or the
immediately succeeding Plan Year.

6.4 Early Benefit Payments to Participants from Grandfathered Benefits

	(a)	 	At any time before Termination of Employment, a Participant may elect to receive an
amount equal to all or a portion of the balance of his or her Grandfathered Benefit under the
rules in this Section 6.4.

	(b)	 	If a Participant wishes to receive a payment in an amount less than $5,000, then the
Participant may elect a payment only from the portion of his or her Grandfathered Benefit that
is attributable to deferrals elected before January 1, 2002 under the EDCP, plus any Interest
Credits that are credited with respect to such deferrals. A Participant electing a withdrawal
under this Section 6.4(b) shall specify an amount and that amount shall be debited from the
Participant’s Account, effective as of the date payment is made to the Participant. An amount
equal to 90 percent of the amount specified shall be paid in cash to the Participant,
resulting in 10 percent of the amount specified being forfeited on account of the payment.

	(c)	 	If a Participant elects a payment that includes any portion of his or her Grandfathered
Benefit credited to his or her Account with respect to periods on or after January 1, 2002
(i.e., amounts other than deferrals under the EDCP and Interest Credits on those EDCP
deferrals), then the payment must be elected under this Section 6.4(c) and the minimum amount
that may be designated for payment under this Section 6.4(c) is $5,000. A Participant electing
a withdrawal under this Section 6.4(c) shall specify an amount of $5,000 or more and that
amount shall be debited from the Grandfathered Benefit in the Participant’s Account, effective
as of the date on which that payment is made to the Participant. An amount equal to 90 percent
of the amount specified shall be paid in cash to the Participant, resulting in 10 percent of
the amount specified being forfeited on account of the payment.

6.5 Payment of Grandfathered Benefits at Termination of Employment or Another Specified Date

	(a)	 	Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 6.5, the rules in this Section
6.5 only apply to payments of Grandfathered Benefits.

40

 

	(b)	 	Before 2009, Participants made an affirmative or default election, as follows, with respect
to the payment starting date and payment form for their Grandfathered Benefits:

	 	(1)	 	The election was made as follows:

	 	(A)	 	If a Participant elected to defer an amount under EDCP for a Plan
Year beginning before January 1, 2002, then the Participant elected, at that
time, a payment starting date and a form of payment for the EDCP benefit. While
the 2002 Restatement permitted the Participant to make a different Distribution
Election with respect to amounts credited to his or her Account for Plan Years
beginning on or after January 1, 2002, no Participant who elected to defer an
amount under EDCP actually made a separate Distribution Election with respect to
amounts credited to his or her Account for Plan Years beginning on or after
January 1, 2002. For these Participants, except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6.5 or another provision of this Plan, their Grandfathered Benefits shall
be paid in accordance with the Distribution Elections that they made with respect
to their EDCP benefits.

	 	(B)	 	If Section 6.5(b)(1)(A) does not apply and a Participant elected to
defer all or a portion of his or her Base Pay or Bonus for a year beginning on or
after January 1, 2002, and before January 1, 2009, then the Participant made a
Distribution Election, at the time of his or her initial deferral election under
this Plan, specifying the payment starting date and the payment form for his or
her Plan benefit.

	 	(C)	 	If Sections 6.5(b)(1)(A)-(B) do not apply and the first amount
credited to the Participant’s Account was a Matching Credit or a Profit Sharing
Credit for a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, and before January
1, 2008, then the Participant had an opportunity to make an affirmative election
as to payment starting date and the payment form for his or her Plan benefit. The
Participant was permitted to make an affirmative Distribution Election within 30
days after the date on which the first Matching Credit or Profit Sharing Credit
was credited to his or her Account with respect to a Plan Year beginning on or
after January 1, 2002 and before January 1, 2008. If a Participant described in this
Section 6.5(b)(1)(C) did not make an affirmative Distribution Election within
this 30-day election period, then he or she was deemed to have elected that his
or her Plan benefit be paid in a lump sum in January after Termination of
Employment.

	 	(2)	 	When a Participant was offered the opportunity, as described in Section
6.5(b)(1), to make an affirmative Distribution Election, the Participant was

41

 

	 	 	 	permitted to make the following choices with respect to the payment starting date and
payment form for his or her Plan benefit:

	 	(A)	 	The Participant could elect that payment of his or her Plan benefit
start as soon as is practicable after either of the following dates:

	 	(i)	 	January 1 of a specified Plan Year beginning after
the Plan Year in which the affirmative Distribution Election was made.
However, if the Participant elected this payment starting date and the
payment starting date in Section 6.5(b)(2)(A)(ii) would be earlier, then
payment of the Participant’s benefit starts at the time specified in
Section 6.5(b)(2)(A)(ii).

	 	(ii)	 	January 1 of the Plan Year immediately following the
Plan Year in which the Participant has a Termination of Employment.

	 	(B)	 	The Participant could elect that the amount distributed be paid in
any of the following forms of payment:

	 	(i)	 	A lump sum in an amount equal to the balance, as of
the payment starting date, of the benefit to be distributed.

	 	(ii)	 	Annual installments payable, as soon as is
practicable after January 1 of each Plan Year, over a period of five, 10,
or 15 years, as elected by the Participant. The amount of each annual
installment payment shall be determined by commuting the balance, as of
the payment starting date, of the amount that is to be distributed, into
an annuity with guaranteed annual payments for the specified number of
years, using the Interest Rate, as of December 31 of the Plan Year before
the Plan Year in which the payments begin. At the time that payment of
installments starts, the entire balance that is to be distributed,
starting as of the payment starting date, shall be debited from the
Participant’s Account.

	 	(3)	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Sections 6.5 or in other provisions of
the Plan, a Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the
Distribution Election described in this Section 6.5(b).

	(c)	 	The following rules apply if a Participant elected to have payments start as soon as is
practicable after January 1 of a specific Plan Year (the “Specified Distribution Year”).

	 	(1)	 	The rules in this Section 6.5(c)(1) apply if the Specified Distribution Year
starts before January 1, 2009.

42

 

	 	(A)	 	The Participant’s Distribution Election electing that payments
start in the Specified Distribution Year applied to all amounts, credited with
respect to Plan Years before the Specified Distribution Year, that were allocated
to the Participant’s Account before the distribution began.

	 	(B)	 	The rules in this Section 6.5(c)(1)(B) apply with respect to the
following amounts (“Later Allocations”): amounts credited to the Participant’s
Account for the Specified Distribution Year and later Plan Years; amounts
attributable to Plan Years before the Specified Plan Year that were credited to
the Participant’s Account after the distribution began; and Interest Credits
allocated with respect to such allocations. Later Allocations shall be
distributed as follows:

	 	(i)	 	The Participant had an opportunity to make an election
to have payment of the Later Allocations begin on one of the following
dates:

	 	(I)	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Section
6.5(c)(1)(B)(i)(I), as soon as is practicable after January 1 of any
Plan Year beginning after the Specified Plan Year. Notwithstanding the
first sentence of this Section 6.5(c)(1)(B)(i)(I), payment of
Grandfathered Benefits that are Later Allocations shall start as soon
as is practicable after the Participant’s Termination of Employment,
if the Participant has a Termination of Employment before the Plan
Year selected for the start of payment of Later Allocations.
Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6.5(c)(1)(B)(i)(I),
payment of Nongrandfathered Benefits that are Later Allocations shall
start as soon as is practicable after the Participant’s Separation
From Service, if the Participant has a Separation From Service before
the Plan Year selected for the start of payment of Later Allocations.

	 	(II)	 	As soon as is practicable after January 1 of
the Plan Year immediately following the applicable Plan Year: in the
case of Later Allocations that are Grandfathered Benefits, the Plan
Year in which the Participant has a Termination of Employment; and, in
the case of Later Allocations that are Nongrandfathered Benefits, the
Plan Year in which the Participant has a Separation From Service.

	 	(ii)	 	The Participant had an opportunity to make an election
to have the Later Allocations be paid in any of the payment forms described
in Section 6.5(b)(2)(B).

43

 

	 	(iii)	 	A Participant had an opportunity to make an
affirmative Distribution Election with respect to the choices available
under Section 6.5(c)(1)(B)(i)-(ii) with respect to Later Allocations no
later than the earlier of the following dates:

	 	(I)	 	The deadline for making the first
Deferral Election that the Participant made with respect to Base Pay
that is payable in, or a Bonus attributable to, the Specified Plan
Year or any later Plan Year beginning before January 1, 2009. The
Plan Administrator required that a Participant make a Distribution
Election as a condition of making the Deferral Election with respect
to that Plan Year.

	 	(II)	 	Thirty days after the first Matching
Credit or Profit Sharing Credit is credited to the Participant’s
Account for the Specified Plan Year or any later Plan Year beginning
before January 1, 2008.

	 	(iv)	 	If a Participant made an affirmative Distribution
Election by the deadline specified in Section 6.5(c)(1)(B)(iii), then
payment made under this Section 6.5(c) with respect to Later Allocations
shall be made as elected in accordance with the choices available under
Section 6.5(c)(1)(B)(i)-(ii), subject to the other provisions of this
Section 6.5 and other provisions of the Plan.

	 	(v)	 	If a Participant did not make an affirmative
Distribution Election with respect to Later Allocations by the deadline
specified in Section 6.5(c)(1)(B)(iii), then Later Allocations shall be
paid, under this Section 6.5, at the following times:

	 	(I)	 	In the case of Later Allocations that are
Grandfathered Benefits, as soon as is practicable after January 1 of
the Plan Year beginning after the Plan Year in which the Participant
has a Termination of Employment.

	 	(II)	 	In the case of Later Allocations that are
Nongrandfathered Benefits, in the Plan Year after the Plan Year in
which the Participant has a Separation From Service.

	 	(2)	 	The rules in this Section 6.5(c)(2) apply if the Specified Distribution Year
starts on or after January 1, 2009.

	 	(A)	 	The Distribution Election electing that payments start in the
Specified Distribution Year applies to all Grandfathered and Nongrandfathered
Benefits attributable to Plan Years before the Specified Distribution

44

 

	 	 	 	Year, including Nongrandfathered Benefits that are credited to the Participant’s
Account after the distribution began. If payment of the Participant’s benefit
has begun in the Specified Plan Year and, subsequently, amounts are credited to
the Participant’s Account for a Plan Year before the Specified Plan Year, then
those additional amounts shall be paid as follows:

	 	(i)	 	If the Participant elected a lump sum payment in the
Specified Distribution Year, then the additional amounts credited shall be
paid in a lump sum by the last day of the Specified Distribution Year.

	 	(ii)	 	If the Participant elected installment payments
starting in the Specified Distribution Year, then the amount of the annual
installments shall be recalculated based on the sum of the Account balance
taken into account when calculating the amount of the initial installment
payment that was made earlier in the Specified Distribution Year and the
additional amounts credited after that initial installment payment was
made. The difference between the amount of the initial installment for the
Specified Distribution Year, as calculated without taking into account the
Later Allocations, and the amount of the initial installment for the
Specified Distribution Year, taking into account the Later Allocations
credited for Plan Years before the Specified Distribution Year, shall be
paid in a lump sum by the last day of the Specified Distribution Year.
Installment payments for Plan Years beginning after the Specified
Distribution Year shall be paid in the recalculated amount that takes into
account the Later Allocations allocated for Plan Years before the
Specified Distribution Year.

	 	(B)	 	Nongrandfathered Benefits credited to the Participant’s Account for
the Specified Distribution Year and later Plan Years shall be paid in a lump sum
in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the Participant has
a Separation From Service. The Participant may not elect a different payment
starting date or payment form for this Nongrandfathered Benefit.

	(d)	 	The following rules apply if a Participant elected to have payments of his or her Plan
benefit start as soon as is practicable after January 1 of the Plan Year (the “Distribution
Year”) immediately following the Plan Year in which the Participant had a Termination of
Employment and amounts (“Later Allocations”) attributable to the Plan Year in which the
Participant had a Termination of Employment are

45

 

	 	 	allocated to the Participant’s Account after payment of the Participant’s benefit had
started under this Section 6.5.

	 	(1)	 	Later Allocations that are part of the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit
shall be paid as follows:

	 	(A)	 	If the Participant elected a lump sum payment at Termination of
Employment, then the additional amounts credited shall be paid in a lump sum by
the last day of the Distribution Year.

	 	(B)	 	If the Participant elected installment payments at Termination of
Employment, then the amount of the annual installments shall be recalculated
based on the sum of the Grandfathered Benefit taken into account when calculating
the amount of the initial installment payment that was made earlier in the
Distribution Year and the additional Grandfathered Benefit credited after that
initial installment payment was made. The difference between the amount of the
initial installment for the Distribution Year, as calculated without taking into
account the Later Allocations, and the amount of the initial installment for the
Distribution Year, taking into account the Later Allocations credited for the
Plan Year before the Distribution Year, shall be paid in a lump sum by the last
day of the Distribution Year. Installment payments for Plan Years beginning after
the Distribution Year shall be paid in the recalculated amount that takes into
account the Later Allocations allocated for the Plan Year before the Distribution
Year.

	 	(2)	 	Later Allocations that are part of the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit
shall be paid as follows:

	 	(A)	 	If the Participant has a Separation From Service in the same Plan
Year as the Plan Year in which he or she had a Termination of Employment, then
Later Allocations that are part of the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit
shall be paid as provided in Section 6.5(d)(1).

	 	(B)	 	If the Participant has a Separation From Service in a Plan Year
after the Plan Year in which he or she had a Termination of Employment, then
Later Allocations that are part of the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit
shall be paid in accordance with Section 6.6.

	(e)	 	If a Participant has a Termination of Employment and is reemployed by a Participating
Employer, then the following rules shall apply with respect to payment of his or her
Grandfathered Benefit:

	 	(1)	 	If a Participant has a Termination of Employment and is reemployed by a
Participating Employer after distribution of his or her Grandfathered Benefit

46

 

	 	 	 	under this Section 6.5 has begun, but before payment of his or her Grandfathered
Benefit is completed, then his or her Grandfathered Benefit shall continue to be
distributed at the times and in the payment form elected.

	 	(2)	 	If a Participant has a Termination of Employment and is reemployed by a
Participating Employer before distribution of his or her Grandfathered Benefit under
this Section 6.5 has begun, then no payment of the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit
shall be made on account of the Participant’s initial Termination of Employment.
Subject to Section 6.5(f) (relating to changes in Distribution Elections), the
Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit shall be distributed as follows:

	 	(A)	 	Payment of the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit shall start as
soon as is practicable after January 1 of the earlier of the following Plan
Years:

	 	(i)	 	The Plan Year, if any, specified in the Distribution
Election in effect when the Participant had his or her initial Termination
of Employment.

	 	(ii)	 	The Plan Year immediately following the Participant’s
next Termination of Employment.

	 	(B)	 	Payment of the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit shall be made in
the payment form previously elected by the Participant in that Distribution
Election.

	(f)	 	A Participant may change his or her prior Distribution Election, as described in Section
6.5(b), with respect to his or her Plan benefits as follows:

	 	(1)	 	A Participant may change the Distribution Election that he or she previously
made, as described in Section 6.5(b), with respect to his or her Grandfathered
Benefits as follows:

	 	(A)	 	If a Participant elected a specific Plan Year as the payment
starting date, then the Participant may change the payment starting date to as
soon as is practicable after either of the following dates:

	 	(i)	 	January 1 of a later specified Plan Year. However, if
the Participant chooses as soon as it practicable after January 1 of a
later specified Plan Year as the new payment starting date, then payment
to the Participant shall start no later than as soon as is practicable
after January 1 following the Participant’s Termination of Employment, if
that date precedes the newly selected payment starting date,

47

 

	 	(ii)	 	January 1 of the Plan Year immediately following the
Plan Year in which the Participant has a Termination of Employment.

	 	(B)	 	If a Participant elected as his or her payment starting date as
soon as is practicable after January 1 of the Plan Year immediately following the
Plan Year in which the Participant has a Termination of Employment, then the
Participant may not change that payment starting date.

	 	(C)	 	Regardless of the original payment starting date, a Participant may
change the form of payment previously elected to one of the other permitted forms
of payment.

	 	(D)	 	A Participant may elect a change permitted under Section
6.5(f)(1)(A) in conjunction with a change permitted under Section 6.5(f)(1)(C),
but only one election change under this Section 6.5(f) is permitted with respect
to the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit. If the Participant previously
changed, under the terms of the EDCP or the 2002 Restatement, his or her initial
Distribution Election, as described in Section 6.5(b), then no further changes
may be made, under this Section 6.5(f), with respect to the distribution of his
or her Grandfathered Benefit.

	 	(E)	 	Any change in the Participant’s prior Distribution Election made
under this Section 6.5(f)(1) must be made before the Participant has a
Termination of Employment and at least 12 months before the previously elected
payment starting date. If the previously elected payment starting date was as
soon as is practicable after January 1 of the year immediately following the year
in which the Participant has a Termination of Employment, then the Participant’s
attempt to change the payment form elected in his or her prior Distribution
Election shall take effect only if January 1 of the year after the year in which
the Participant has a Termination of Employment is at least 12 months after the
date on which the Distribution Election change was received by the Plan
Administrator.

	 	(2)	 	A Participant may not change the Distribution Election that he or she
previously made, as described in Section 6.5(b), with respect to his or her
Nongrandfathered Benefit.

	 	(3)	 	If a Participant changes his or her prior Distribution Election, as described
in Section 6.5(b), then his or her Plan benefit shall be paid as follows:

	 	(A)	 	A Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit shall be paid in accordance
with the changed Distribution Election.

48

 

	 	(B)	 	The Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be paid in
accordance with the prior Distribution Election, except as otherwise provided in
the Plan.

	(g)	 	If the balance of a Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit, on the applicable payment starting
date under this Section 6.5, does not exceed $25,000, then notwithstanding the Participant’s
election of an installment form of payment, the balance of the Participant’s Grandfathered
Benefit shall be distributed in a lump sum on the applicable payment starting date. No payment
of a Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be made on account of this Section 6.5(g).

6.6 Payment of Nongrandfathered Benefits at Separation from Service or Another Specified
Date

	(a)	 	Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 6.6, the rules in this Section
6.6 only apply to payments of Nongrandfathered Benefits.

	(b)	 	The rules in this Section 6.6(b) apply to Participants who made, before 2008, an affirmative
or default Distribution Election, as described in Section 6.5(b), and who have
Nongrandfathered Benefits.

	 	(1)	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.6 or other provisions of the
Plan, a Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be paid, in the payment form
elected in the Distribution Election described in Section 6.5(b), starting in the
following year:

	 	(A)	 	If the Participant elected to have his or her Plan benefit paid as
soon as is practicable after Termination of Employment, then, subject to the
other provisions of this Section 6.6 and the Plan, the Participant’s
Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be paid starting in the Plan Year immediately
following the Plan Year in which the Participant has a Separation From Service.
If the Plan Year in which the Participant has a Separation From Service is
different from the Plan Year in which the Participant has a Termination of
Employment, then the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be paid
starting in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the
Participant has a Separation From Service and the Participant’s Grandfathered
Benefit shall be paid starting in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan
Year in which the Participant has a Termination of Employment, even if payment of
the Participant’s Grandfathered and Nongrandfathered Benefits start in different
Plan Years.

	 	(B)	 	If the Participant elected to have his or her Plan benefit paid as
soon as is practicable after January 1 of a specified Plan Year and the
Participant has a Separation From Service before the specified Plan

49

 

	 	 	 	Year, then the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be paid starting in
the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the Participant has a
Separation From Service.

	 	(2)	 	The rules in this Section 6.6(b)(2) apply if a Participant made a
Distribution Election, as described in Section 6.5(b), that applies, under the terms
of Section 6.5 and this Section 6.6, to his or her Nongrandfathered Benefit and that
Distribution Election included either of the following payment terms: the payment
starting date for the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit is a specified Plan Year
(as opposed to the Plan Year beginning immediately after the Plan Year in which the
Participant has a Separation From Service) that starts after 2008; or the payment form
is installments (as opposed to a lump sum). During an election period established by
the Plan Administrator that begins and ends in December 2008, the Participant was
permitted to change his or her prior Distribution Election so that the Participant’s
entire Nongrandfathered Benefit would be paid in a lump sum in the Plan Year after the
Plan Year in which the Participant has a Separation From Service. If the Participant
makes such an election, then that revised Distribution Election shall apply to the
Participant’s entire Nongrandfathered Benefit. The election made by the Participant
under this Section 6.6(b)(2) shall not apply to payment of the Participant’s
Grandfathered Benefit.

	 	(3)	 	If a Participant has a Separation From Service and is reemployed by a
Participating Employer, then the following rules apply with respect to payment of his
or her Nongrandfathered Benefit:

	 	(A)	 	If a Participant has a Separation From Service and is reemployed by
a Participating Employer after distribution, under this Section 6.6, of his or
her Nongrandfathered Benefit has begun, but before payment of his or her
Nongrandfathered Benefit is completed, then his or her Nongrandfathered Benefit
shall continue to be distributed at the times and in the payment form elected.

	 	(B)	 	If a Participant has a Separation From Service and is reemployed by
a Participating Employer before distribution, under this Section 6.6, of his or
her Nongrandfathered Benefit has begun, then payment of the Participant’s
Nongrandfathered Benefit that is attributable to the Plan Year in which the
Participant has a Separation From Service and earlier Plan Years shall be made in
accordance with the Participant’s prior Distribution Election.

	 	(i)	 	If the Participant is reemployed and resumes
participation in the Plan before January 1, 2009, then any Nongrandfathered
Benefit credited with respect to Plan Years beginning after the Plan Year
in

50

 

	 	 	 	which the Participant has a Separation From Service shall be paid as
follows:

	 	(I)	 	If the Participant makes an affirmative
Distribution Election before the Plan Year in which the Participant
again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, then the
Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be paid in accordance with that
Distribution Election. In the Participant’s Distribution Election
upon regaining eligibility for the Plan, the Participant may choose
among the distribution options described in Section 6.5(b)(2),
applying the rules in Section 6.5(b)(2) by substituting “Separation
From Service” for “Termination of Employment.”

	 	(II)	 	Otherwise, the Nongrandfathered Benefit
shall be paid in a lump sum in the Plan Year immediately following
the Plan Year in which the Participant has a Separation From Service.

	 	(ii)	 	If the Participant resumes participation in the Plan,
following reemployment, on or after January 1, 2009, then any
Nongrandfathered Benefit credited with respect to Plan Years after the Plan
Year in which the Participant has a Separation From Service shall be paid
in a lump sum in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which
the Participant has a Separation From Service.

	 	(4)	 	A Participant may not change his or her Distribution Election, as described
in Section 6.5(b), with respect to payment of his or her Nongrandfathered Benefit, as
is permitted, under Section 6.5(f), with respect to his or her Nongrandfathered
Benefit.

	 	(5)	 	Notwithstanding the Participant’s election of an installment form of payment
If, at the time that the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit would be distributed,
in accordance with this Section 6.6(b), the balance of a Participant’s
Nongrandfathered Benefit does not exceed $25,000, then the balance of the
Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be distributed in a lump sum on the
applicable payment starting date. No payment of a Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit
shall be made on account of this Section 6.6(b)(5).

	(c)	 	The rules in this Section 6.6(c) shall apply to a Participant for whom the first amount
credited to his or her account is either a Base Pay Deferral Credit or a Bonus Deferral Credit
for a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2009, or a Matching Credit, a Profit Sharing
Credit, or a QNEC Credit for a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2008. Except as
otherwise provided in this

51

 

	 	 	Section 6.6 or elsewhere in the Plan, the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit shall be
distributed in a lump sum in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the
Participant has a Separation From Service.

	(d)	 	Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Plan, if any Participant is a “specified
employee,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(i), as of the date of his or
her Separation From Service, then, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-3(i)(2), payment of the Participant’s Nongrandfathered Benefit to the Participant on
account of his or her Separation From Service shall not be made before a date that is six
months after the date of his or her Separation From Service. The Plan Administrator may elect
any of the methods of applying this rule that are permitted under Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(2)(ii).

6.7 Death Benefits

	(a)	 	If a Participant dies after starting payment of his or her benefits under Section 6.5 or
Section 6.6 (as applicable), then the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive the remaining
payments of the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit and Nongrandfathered Benefit (as
applicable) that are due under the form of payment in which that benefit was being paid to the
Participant. The Beneficiary shall receive these payments at the same time and in the same
amount that those payments would have been made to the Participant.

	(b)	 	If a Participant dies before starting payment under Section 6.5 or Section 6.6 (as
applicable) of his or her Grandfathered Benefit or Nongrandfathered Benefit, then the
remaining balance of the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit or Nongrandfathered Benefit (as
applicable) shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary starting in January of the
Plan Year beginning after the Plan Year in which the Participant died. The Beneficiary shall
receive these payments in the payment form that the Participant would have received those
benefits under Section 6.5 or Section 6.6 (as applicable).

6.8 Beneficiary

	(a)	 	A Participant shall designate a Beneficiary to receive any and all death benefit
payments due under Section 6.7. A Participant may designate any individual or trust as his or
her Beneficiary. A Participant may designate multiple beneficiaries to receive specified
percentages of the death benefit payments due under Section 6.7. A Participant may designate
contingent Beneficiaries who shall receive any benefits due under Section 6.7 if none of the
primary Beneficiaries survives the deceased Participant by at least 60 days. No consent of the
Participant’s spouse is required for any Beneficiary designation under this Plan.

52

 

	(b)	 	The Beneficiary designated by the Participant shall receive all of the Participant’s
Grandfathered Benefit or Nongrandfathered Benefit (as applicable) which is due under Section
6.5 or Section 6.6 (as applicable).

	(c)	 	A Participant may designate a Beneficiary in writing on such forms and in such manner as the
Plan Administrator shall specify. A Beneficiary designation shall be effective only upon
receipt by the Plan Administrator of a properly completed form. A Beneficiary designated under
the EDCP or the 2002 Restatement shall continue to be the Participant’s Beneficiary until the
Participant changes that Beneficiary designation. A Participant may change a prior Beneficiary
designation at any time, but the changed Beneficiary designation shall become effective only
if the properly completed form is received by the Plan Administrator. Upon receipt by the Plan
Administrator, a properly completed form signed by the Participant before the Participant’s
death shall take effect, notwithstanding the fact that it is received by the Plan
Administrator after the Participant’s death.

	(d)	 	If a Participant has not properly designated a Beneficiary or if no properly designated
primary or contingent Beneficiary is alive at the time of the Participant’s death, then any
benefit payable under Section 6.7 shall be paid to

	 	 (1)	 	The Participant’s spouse (unless the spouse was legally separated from the
Participant at the time of his or her death), if the spouse is then living at the time
of the Participant’s death, or

	 	 (2)	 	If the spouse is not living or is legally separated from the Participant at
the time of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s estate.

	(e)	 	If the Plan Administrator has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments
pursuant to Section 6.7, then the Plan Administrator shall have the right, exercisable in its
discretion, to cause any payments to the Beneficiary to be delayed until the matter is
resolved to the Plan Administrator’s satisfaction.

6.9 Other Payments of Grandfathered Benefits

Notwithstanding a Participant’s Deferral Election, the Company may (but shall not be
required to) distribute to a Participant or Beneficiary all of his or her Grandfathered Benefit due
under the terms of the Plan in a single lump sum if the Company obtains an opinion from legal
counsel that benefits due under the Plan would be included (if the payment under this Section 6.9
was not made) in the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s gross income, for federal income tax purposes,
for the year in which the lump sum amount is distributed.

6.10
Other Payments of Nongrandfathered Benefits

Notwithstanding a Participant’s Distribution Election and other provisions of this Plan, the
Company may (but shall not be required to) distribute to a Participant or Beneficiary all or

53

provisions of Treasury Regulations:

	(a)	 	Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (relating to domestic relations orders).

Elections on account of disability).

Benefit because of a debt owed to an Employer).

	(i)	 	Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(xiv) (relating to settling certain bona fide

Benefit).

Article 7. Administration

7.1 The Plan Administrator

	(a)	 	The Committee shall be the Plan Administrator of the Plan within the meaning of ERISA
Section 3(16). Except to the extent provided in Section 7.3(h) (relating to a trustee having
the power to interpret the plan after a Change in Control), the Committee shall have the
authority to construe, administer, and interpret the Plan. The Committee may designate a
person or persons to be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Plan and to
perform other responsibilities of the Plan Administrator.

	(b)	 	The Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan in accordance with the Charter. The
provisions of the Charter include any amendments subsequently adopted thereto, and any
amendments to the Charter are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth fully herein.

	(c)	 	Except as prohibited in the Charter, any person, such as the SVPHR, with responsibilities
under this Plan may delegate any responsibilities that he or she has under the Plan to any
other person.

7.2 Benefit Determination

The Plan Administrator shall determine the amount of any benefit paid under the Plan. The
Plan Administrator shall rely on the records of the Participating Employers in determining any
Participant’s eligibility for and amount of benefit due under the Plan. In the event that the Plan
Administrator’s reliance on the records of the Participating Employers causes a benefit to be over
or under paid, the Plan Administrator shall cause future payments of Grandfathered Benefits to be
increased or decreased as required to ensure that the correct total benefit amount is paid and may
cause future payments of Nongrandfathered Benefits to be increased or decreased for the same
purpose, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. If such future payments are insufficient
to recover any overpayment to a Participant, the Company may withhold from any other payments due
to the Participant and take any action deemed appropriate to recover the balance of the
overpayment.

7.3 Special Rules Following a Change in Control

	(a)	 	This Section 7.3 provides special rules that go into effect after there has been a
Change in Control.

the first day that any one or more of the following conditions are satisfied, whether
accomplished directly or indirectly, or in one or a series of related transactions:

trustees of a trust created by David H. Murdock.

Directors of the Corporation (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation;
provided, however, that any individual who becomes a director after March 23,
2001, and whose election, or nomination for election, by the Corporation’s
shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then
comprising the Incumbent Board, shall be considered as though such individual
were a member of the Incumbent Board, unless the individual’s initial assumption
of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest
or other actual or threatened tender offer, solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

	 	(C)	 	A reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, tender
offer, exchange offer or other extraordinary transaction involving Dole (a
“Fundamental Transaction”) becomes effective or is consummated, unless

	 	(i)	 	More than 50 percent of the outstanding voting
securities of the surviving or resulting entity (including, without
limitation, an entity (“parent”) which as a result of such transaction owns
the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets
either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (“Resulting Entity”)
are, or are to be, Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly, by all or
substantially all of the Persons who were the Beneficial Owners of the
outstanding voting securities of the Corporation immediately before the
Fundamental Transaction (excluding, for such purposes, any Person who is
or, within two years prior to the consummation date of such Fundamental
Transaction, was, an Affiliate or Associate (other than an Affiliate of
Dole Food Company, Inc. immediately prior to such consummation date) (as

56

 

	 	 	 	each of Affiliate and Associate are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated

or similar body of the Resulting Entity (or its parent) were members of the
Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement
providing for the Fundamental Transaction.

	 	(D)	 	A sale, transfer or any other disposition (including, without
limitation, by way of spin-off, distribution, complete liquidation or
dissolution) of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s business and/or
assets (an “Asset Sale”) is consummated, unless, immediately following such
consummation, all of the requirements of Section 7.3(a)(1)(C)(i)—(ii) are
satisfied, both with respect to the Corporation and with respect to the entity to
which such business and/or assets have been sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of or its parent (a “Transferee Entity”).

	 	(E)	 	The consummation of any other significant corporate transaction
determined by the Board of Directors or the Corporate Compensation and Benefits

outstanding voting securities of the Resulting Entity or the Transferee Entity,
as appropriate, are, or are to be, Beneficially Owned by David H. Murdock.

	 	(G)	 	For the avoidance of doubt, the consummation of the Initial Public
Offering shall not be considered a Change of Control or Fundamental Transaction
for any purpose under this Plan. If, in the Initial Public Offering, any Person
(other than David H. Murdock) becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 20% or more of the
combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities, no Change
of Control shall be deemed to have then occurred, and no Change of Control shall
be deemed to occur thereafter solely as a result of such Person’s

57

 

	 	 	 	Beneficial Ownership of the Corporation’s securities unless and until (if ever)
such Person becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities
of the Corporation representing at least 1% more of the combined voting power of

as amended (the “Form S-1”). For purposes of this definition, the term

Change in Control Plan Year.

	 	(K)	 	“Protected Credits” means, with respect to a Participant, the sum

	(f)	 	In addition to the contributions made pursuant to Section 7.3(e), by the following deadlines
the Participating Employers shall make such additional contributions to a Trust as are
required to ensure that the collective assets of all Trusts are, as of the applicable date,
equal to the sum of the credits described in Section 7.3(e) and the following credits
allocated to Participants under the Plan:

	 	(1)	 	Within 30 days after each payroll date that occurs on or after the date of
the Change in Control and before the first day of the Post-CIC Plan Year, the Base Pay
Deferral Credits attributable to the Base Pay that would have been paid on that
payroll date.

	 	(2)	 	Within 30 days after each date on or after the date of the Change in Control
on which any Bonus attributable to the Change in Control Plan Year or an earlier Plan
Year is paid, the Bonus Deferral Credits attributable to the Bonus that would have
been paid on that date.

61

 

	 	(3)	 	Within 30 days after each payroll date or Bonus payment date on or after the
Change in Control date, the Matching Credits due with respect to the Base Pay Deferral
Credits and Bonus Deferral Credits described in Section 7.3(f)(1)-(3) that are
attributable to the Base Pay or Bonus that would be paid on that date. In addition,
within 30 days of the last day of the Change in Control Plan Year and the Post-CIC
Plan Year, the additional true-up Matching Credits due under Section 5.2 with respect
to the aggregate Base Pay Deferral Credits and Bonus Deferral Credits described in
Section 7.3(f)(1)-(3) for that Plan Year.

	 	(4)	 	Within 30 days after the Salaried 401(k) Plan Profit Sharing Percentage, as
defined in Section 5.3(a)(1), is determined for the Change in Control Plan Year, the
Profit Sharing Credits due with respect to the Change in Control Plan Year.

	 	(5)	 	Within 30 days after the Salaried 401(k) Plan QNEC Percentage, as defined in
Section 5.4(a)(1), is determined for the Change in Control Plan Year, the QNEC Credits
due with respect to the Change in Control Plan Year.

	(g)	 	After a Change in Control, the Board may not terminate the Plan as of a date within the
Change in Control Plan Year.

	(h)	 	After a Change in Control, any provisions of this Plan or of the Charter that allows or
purport to allow the Committee discretionary authority or power to construe or interpret the
terms of the Plan, shall be void as applied to any dispute involving Protected Benefits.
Instead, after a Change in Control, the Trustee shall have discretionary authority to
interpret the terms of the Plan, as applied to Protected Benefits. After a Change in Control,
the Committee shall continue to have the authority to interpret the terms of the Plan as
applied to any dispute involving benefits other than Protected Benefits and the Committee
shall continue to be the Plan Administrator.

	(i)	 	After a Change in Control, all powers of the Plan Administrator prescribed in Article 9
(relating to the claims procedure) shall be exercised by the Trustee insofar as the claim for
benefits relates to Protected Benefits. If more than one Trust is established to fund benefits
provided under the Plan, then the powers described in Sections 7.3(h)-(i) shall be exercised
by the Trustee of the Trust holding, at the time the claim is filed, the most assets intended
to fund benefits paid under the Plan.

	(j)	 	The provisions of Section 7.3(e)-(f) shall apply only to the extent that these provisions
would not result in amounts being treated as transferred on account of Code Section
409A(b)(1)-(3) (relating to funding restrictions on account of an at-

62

 

	 	 	risk pension plan, offshore trust restrictions, and restrictions on trust assets on account
of an employer’s financial health).

63

 

Article 8. Rights of Participants

8.1 Contractual Obligation

The Plan shall create a contractual obligation on the part of the Participating Employers to
make payments of the amounts recorded in the Participants’ Accounts when due. Payments of amounts
recorded as Account balances shall be made out of the general funds of the Participating Employers.

8.2 Unsecured Interest

	(a)	 	No Participant or party claiming an interest in amounts credited to a Participant’s
Account, including Interest Credits thereon, shall have any interest whatsoever in any
specific assets of the Participating Employers. To the extent that any party acquires a right
to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be equivalent to that of an unsecured
general creditor of the applicable Participating Employers.

	(b)	 	Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or
equitable rights, claims, or interests in any specific property or assets of the Participating
Employers or any affiliate of the Participating Employers, nor shall they be, as a result of
the Plan, beneficiaries of or have any rights. claims, or interest in any life insurance
policies, annuity contracts, or the proceeds therefrom that may hereafter be owned or acquired
by the Participating Employers or any affiliate of the Participating Employers (“Policies”).
Such Policies or assets of the Participating Employers or any affiliate of the Participating
Employers shall not be held under any trust for the benefit of Participants, their
Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, or assigns, or held in any way as collateral security for
the fulfilling of the obligations of the Participating Employers under the Plan. Any and all
of the assets and Policies of the Participating Employers shall be, and remain, the general,
unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Participating Employers. The Participating Employers
obligations under the Plan shall be merely that of any unfunded and unsecured promise of the
Participating Employers to pay money in the future.

8.3 Authorization for Trust

The Company may, but except as required in Section 7.3 shall not be required to, establish
one or more trusts, with such trustee as the Plan Administrator may approve, for the purpose of
providing for the payment of amounts recorded in Participants’ Accounts. Such trust or trusts may
be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors.
To the extent any amounts contributed under the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, the
Company shall have no further obligation with respect thereto, but, to the extent not so paid, such
amounts shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Company.

64

 

8.4 Employment

Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with, nor limit in any way, the right of a Participating
Employer to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any
right to continue in the employ of a Participating Employer.

65

 

Article 9. Claims Procedure

9.1 Claims Procedure

	(a)	 	All claims for benefits under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the procedures
in this Section 9.1. All decisions made under the procedure set out in this Section 9.1 shall
be final, and there shall be no further right of appeal except as provided under applicable
law. No lawsuit may be initiated by any person before fully pursuing the procedures set out in
this Section 9.1, including the appeal permitted pursuant to Section 9.1(d).

	(b)	 	Except to the extent provided in Section 7.3(i) (relating to a trustee deciding claims with
respect to certain benefits after a Change in Control), the right of a Participant,
Beneficiary, or any other person entitled to claim a benefit under the Plan (collectively
“Claimants”) to a benefit shall be determined by the Plan Administrator. The Claimant (or an
authorized representative of the Claimant) may file a claim for benefits by written notice to
the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall establish procedures for determining
whether a person is authorized to represent a Claimant.

	(c)	 	If a claim for benefits is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator shall, within a
reasonable period of time, but no later than 90 days after receipt of the claim, notify the
Claimant of the denial of benefits. If special circumstances justify extending the period up
to an additional 90 days, the Claimant shall be given written notice of this extension within
the initial 90-day period, and such notice shall set forth the special circumstances and the
date a decision is expected. A notice of denial

	 	(1)	 	Shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and

	 	(2)	 	Shall contain

	 	(A)	 	The specific reasons for denial of the claim,

	 	(B)	 	Specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is
based,

	 	(C)	 	A description of any additional material or information necessary
for the Claimant to perfect the claim, along with an explanation as to why such
material or information is necessary, and

	 	(D)	 	An explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedures and the time
limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s
right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse
determination on review.

66

 

	(d)	 	Within 60 days of the receipt by the Claimant of the written denial of his or her claim or,
if the claim has not been granted, within a reasonable period of time (which shall not be less
than the 90 or 180 days described in Section 9.1(c)), the Claimant (or an authorized
representative of the Claimant) may file a written request with the Plan Administrator that it
conduct a full review of the denial of the claim. In connection with the Claimant’s appeal,
upon request, the Claimant may review and obtain copies of all pertinent documents, records
and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits (but not including any
document, record, or information that is subject to any attorney-client or work-product
privilege) and may submit issues and comments in writing. The Claimant may submit written
comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. All
comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant shall be taken
into account in the appeal without regard to whether such information was submitted or
considered in the initial benefit determination.

	(e)	 	The Plan Administrator shall deliver to the Claimant a written decision on the claim
promptly, but no later than 60 days after the receipt of the Claimant’s request for such
review, unless special circumstances exist, such as the need to hold a hearing, that justify
extending this period up to an additional 60 days. If the period is extended, the Claimant
shall be given written notice of this extension during the initial 60-day period and such
notice shall set forth the special circumstances and the date a decision is expected. The
decision on review of the denial of the claim

	 	(1)	 	Shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant,

	 	(2)	 	Shall contain

	 	(A)	 	The specific reasons for the denial of the appeal,

	 	(B)	 	Specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is
based,

	 	(C)	 	A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request
and free of charge, reasonable access to, and other information relevant to the
Claimant’s claim for benefits. Whether a document, record, or other information
is relevant to a claim for benefits shall be determined by reference to
Department of Labor Regulation Section 2560, and

	 	(D)	 	A statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under
ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse determination on review.

	(f)	 	Any payment made following a claim or appeal shall be made by the deadline prescribed in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(g) (relating to payment deadlines following disputes over
payment).

67

 

	(g)	 	No lawsuit may be initiated by any person before fully pursuing the procedures set out in
this Section 9.1, including the appeal permitted pursuant to Section 9.1(d).

9.2 Reimbursement of Attorneys Fees

	(a)	 	If a Claimant (as defined in Section 9.1(b) substantially prevails in his or her claim
for benefits pursued in accordance with Section 9.1, then the Company shall reimburse the
Claimant for any reasonable attorneys fees that the Claimant incurred in connection with the
claim for benefits.

	(b)	 	If, after fully pursuing the procedures in Section 9.1 (including the appeal permitted under
Section 9.1(d)), a Claimant brings a legal action contesting any adverse determination with
respect to the benefits due him or her under the Plan and the Claimant substantially prevails
in that legal action, then the Company shall reimburse the Claimant for his or her reasonable
attorneys fees and court costs in connection with the legal action.

	(c)	 	Reimbursements of attorneys’ fees and court costs shall be made only to the extent permitted
under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(iv). Attorneys’ fees and court costs shall be
reimbursed under this Section 9.2 only to the extent that those fees and costs were incurred
during the lifetime of the Participant or within five years after the death of the
Participant. The amount of the attorneys’ fees and court costs reimbursed during a Plan Year
shall not affect the amount of such expenses that may be reimbursed in any other Plan Year.
Attorneys’ fees and court costs shall be reimbursed by the
deadline prescribed in Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)((A)(4) (relating to reimbursement not later than the last day of
the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the expense was incurred.)

68

 

Article 10. Amendment and Termination

10.1 Plan Amendments

The Company reserves the right to amend the Plan from time to time by action of the
Committee. However, except as required by applicable law, no amendment shall do any of the
following:

	(b)	 	Delay the date on which payment of the Participant’s benefits is to be made, without the
written consent of a Participant.

	(c)	 	Modify the procedure set forth under Section 10.2(b) unless the Participant consents in
writing to such amendment. Written notice of any amendment shall be given to each Participant
in the Plan.

10.2 Plan Termination

	(a)	 	Subject to Section 7.3(g) (relating to restricting the Board’s right to terminate the
Plan for the remainder of the year in which there is a Change in Control) and the requirements
of Code Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time by
action of the Board.

	(b)	 	Subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A, on any termination of the Plan under this
Section 10.2, the Participants shall be deemed to have voluntarily terminated their
participation under the Plan as of the date of such termination. No Base Pay or Bonuses paid
after the termination date shall be deferred under this Plan. The Participating Employers
shall pay to each Participant the value of the remaining balance of his or her Account,
determined as if each had reached a payment start date on the January 1 following the date of
the termination of the Plan.

69

 

Article 11. Miscellaneous

11.1 Severability

In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason,
the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall
be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

11.2 Obligations to the Company

If a Participant becomes entitled to a benefit payment under the Plan, and if at that time
the Participant has outstanding any debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount
owing to the Participating Employer, then the Participating Employer may offset the amount owned to
it against the amount of the Grandfathered Benefit otherwise payable from the Plan. The Plan
Administrator shall make such determination.

11.3 Withholding of Taxes

The Participating Employers shall have the right to require Participants to remit to the
Participating Employers an amount sufficient to satisfy any tax withholding required with respect
to amounts credited under or payments made in accordance with the Plan or to deduct such tax
withholding amounts from any payments of Grandfathered Benefits made pursuant to the Plan or any
other payments made by the Participating Employer to the Participant.

11.4 Successors

All obligations of a Participating Employer under the Plan with respect to credits under
Article 5 shall be binding on any successor to the Participating Employer, whether the existence of
such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise,
of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Participating Employer.

11.5 Costs of the Plan

All costs of implementing and administering the Plan shall be borne by the Participating
Employers.

11.6 Protective Provisions

Each Participant and Beneficiary shall cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all
information required by the Company to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder.

11.7 Nontransferability

	(a)	 	Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell,
assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage, or otherwise encumber, hypothecate, or convey
in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, or
interest therein that are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be unassignable
and nontransferable. No part of the

70

 

	 	 	amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for
the payment of any debts, judgements, alimony, or separate maintenance owed by a
Participant or any other person, or be transferable by operation of law in the event of a
Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

	(b)	 	In the event that a court or other binding authority disregards Section 11.7(a), the
Participant, Beneficiary, or other person entitled to payment will not be made whole with
additional benefits.

11.8 Governing Law

All questions pertaining to the construction, validity, and effect of the Plan will be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

11.9 Notice

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Plan Administrator under the
Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail,
to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the SVPHR. Such notice shall
be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on
the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

11.10 Indemnification

	(a)	 	The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the following persons
(“Indemnified Persons”) under the terms and conditions of Section 11.10(b):

	 	(1)	 	The Committee and each of its members.

	 	(2)	 	The SVPHR.

	 	(3)	 	Each Employee, the Board of Directors and each member of the Board of
Directors, and each employee or member of the board of directors of any affiliate of
the Company who has responsibility (whether by delegation from another person, an
allocation of responsibilities under the terms of this Plan document, or otherwise)
for a fiduciary duty, a nonfiduciary settlor function (such as deciding whether to
approve a plan amendment), or a nonfiduciary administrative task relating to the Plan.

	(b)	 	The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any and all
claims, losses, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs,
incurred by that person on account of his or her good faith actions or failures to act with
respect to his or her responsibilities relating to the Plan. The Company’s indemnification
shall include payment of any amounts due under a settlement of any lawsuit or investigation,
but only if the Company agrees to the settlement.

71

 

	 	(1)	 	An Indemnified Person shall be indemnified under this Section 11.10 only if
he or she notifies an Appropriate Person at the Company of any claim asserted against
or any investigation of the Indemnified Person that relates to the Indemnified
Person’s responsibilities with respect to the Plan.

	 	(A)	 	A person is an “Appropriate Person” to receive notice of the claim
or investigation if a reasonable person would believe that the person notified
would initiate action to protect the interests of the Company in response to the
Indemnified Person’s notice.

	 	(B)	 	The notice may be provided orally or in writing. The notice must be
provided to the Appropriate Person promptly after the Indemnified Person becomes
aware of the claim or investigation. No indemnification shall be provided under
this Section 11.10 to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by the
unreasonable delay of the Indemnified Person in notifying an Appropriate Person
of the claim or investigation.

	 	(2)	 	An Indemnified Person shall be indemnified under this Section 11.10 with
respect to attorney’s fees, court costs or other litigation expenses or any settlement
of such litigation only if the Indemnified Person agrees to permit the Company to
select counsel and to conduct the defense of the lawsuit.

	 	(3)	 	No Indemnified Person shall be indemnified under this Section 11.10 with
respect to any action or failure to act that is judicially determined to constitute or
be attributable to the willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person.

	 	(4)	 	Payments of any indemnity under this Section 11.10 shall be made only from
the assets of the Company and shall not be made directly or indirectly from the Plan.
The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall not preclude such further indemnities as
may be available under insurance purchased by the Company or as may be provided by the
Company under any by-law, agreement or otherwise, provided that no expense shall be
indemnified under this Section 11.10 that is otherwise indemnified by the Company or
by an insurance contract purchased by the Company.

11.11 Corrections

If the Plan inadvertently is not administered in accordance with its terms, or applicable
law (e.g., Code Section 409A), then the Plan Administrator may take any corrective action that it
deems reasonable to rectify the error, to the extent consistent with applicable law.

11.12 USERRA Rights

A Participant shall be entitled, under this Plan. to any rights or benefits required under
the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act of 1994, as amended.
