located in the leased premises listed in Exhibit "B-2" attached hereto and made a part hereof which in combination with the "leased premises" are referred to herein as the "leased property". Wherever reference is made to the "leased property" in this lease, as amended, such reference shall mean the "leased property" as defined herein, subject to the following:

                              1.1.1          The Lessee represents that the leased property, the title thereto, the possession and occupancy thereof, the buildings and improvements thereon, the adjoining sidewalks and structures, any surface and any subsurface thereof, and the present uses thereof, have been examined by it and that it accepts the same in the condition or state in which they now are, without representation, covenant, or warranty, express or implied, in fact or in law, by the Lessor, and without recourse to the Lessor as to the title thereto, possession or occupancy thereto, possession or occupancy thereof, encumbrances thereon, appurtenances, nature, condition, or usability thereof, or uses to which the leased property may be put.

                              1.1.2          Rights, if any, of others relating to streets, water, gas, electric and other utility lines, wires, pipes and conduits and maintenance thereof, easements of record and the agreement between Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company and Lessee dated September 5, 1967, involving side tracks.

                              1.1.5          If, by law, or in consequence of the action of any authority or by title paramount, the possession or use of any easement or appurtenance to any buildings now or hereafter erected on the leased premises outside the boundaries of the land owned by the Lessor shall be discontinued, such discontinuance shall in no way affect the liability of the Lessee to pay the full rent and perform all of the covenants contained in this Lease.

                    3.1          Lessee shall use and occupy the leased premises as and for a warehouse and office and shall not use the leased premises for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                    3.2          Lessee shall not use or allow the property or any part thereof to be used or occupied for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any certificate of occupancy or certificate of compliance covering or affecting the use of the leased premises or any part thereof. Lessee shall not suffer any act to be done or any condition to exist on the leased premises or any part thereof which may in law constitute a nuisance, public or private, or which may make void or voidable any insurance with respect thereto. Lessee shall not use, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous or toxic materials in the leased premises except: (a) the storage of inventory; (b) the use and storage of customary quantities of routine cleaning, maintenance, and repair supplies; (c) the use and storage of vehicle fuels, lubricants, and supplies; (d) the use and storage of lift truck batteries and other equipment or supplies used in the ordinary course of Lessee's business; and (e) as otherwise disclosed to Lessor in writing; provided, however, that Lessee shall comply with applicable law with respect to items (a) through (e) above.

Lessor and Lessee stipulate and agree that for the purpose of annual fixed rent, the buildings and other improvements contain 414,700 square feet. Should the term of this Lease commence on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or end on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the fixed rent for such partial month shall be prorated on a daily basis based upon a thirty (30) day calendar month and shall be payable upon the date hereof or thereof.

                    4.2          It is intended that the rent provided for in this Lease shall be an absolute net return to Lessor for the term of this Lease, free from any loss, expenses or charges with respect to the leased property, including maintenance, repairs, cost of replacement of buildings or improvements, insurance, taxes and assessments now imposed upon or related to the leased property, or with respect to any easements or rights appurtenant thereto, except Lessor's income taxes and except the mortgage payments under any First Mortgage or subordinate mortgage.

                    4.3          All taxes, charges, costs and expenses which the Lessee is required to pay hereunder, together with all interest and penalties that may accrue thereon in the event of the Lessee's failure to pay such amounts, and all damages, costs and expenses which the Lessor may incur by reason of any default of the Lessee or failure on the Lessee's part to comply with the terms of this lease shall be deemed to be "additional rent" and in the event of nonpayment by the Lessee the Lessor shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect thereto as the Lessor has for the nonpayment of the fixed rent. "Fixed rent" and "additional rent" are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "rent".

                    4.4          If Lessee shall fail to pay any rent or other sums or charges payable by Lessee under this Lease when and as the same become due and payable, and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days thereafter, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two (2%) percent in excess of the announced base rate of interest of American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago in effect on the due date of such payment, from the date when the same is payable under the terms of this Lease until the same shall be paid.

Article 5 - TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS

                    5.1          Lessee will pay when due, before any penalties or interest accrue, all taxes, assessments and other charges of any kind levied or assessed prior to or during the continuance of this Lease against the leased property or any part thereof, including any and all taxes imposed by the United States of America, any state or municipality or any political subdivision thereof.

4

Should the State of Michigan or any political subdivision thereof or any governmental authority having any jurisdiction there over impose a tax and/or assessment (other than an income or franchise tax) upon or against the rentals payable hereunder by Lessee to Lessor, either by way of substitution for the taxes and assessments levied or assessed against such land and such buildings, or in addition thereto, such tax and/or assessments shall be deemed to constitute a tax and/or assessment against such land and improvements for the purpose of this Section.

                    5.2          Lessee will pay when due all of Lessee's franchise and other corporate taxes, and within thirty (30) days after request therefor by Lessor, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor official receipts or other satisfactory proof of payment thereof.

                    5.3          Lessee shall have the right upon the prior written approval of the First Mortgagee, at Lessee's own expense, to contest by legal proceedings, or otherwise, the validity of any such tax, assessment or other charge payable by it which it deems to have been unlawfully or excessively levied, and for such purpose shall have the right to institute such contest or proceedings in its own name, or in the name of Lessor, or in both names, as Lessee shall deem necessary, provided however that Lessee must still either make timely payment of such contested taxes and/or assessments and seek a refund thereof, or Lessee, at its election may postpone or defer payment of the same if Lessee, shall deposit with Lessor the amount so contested and unpaid, together with all interest and penalties in connection therewith and all charges that may or might be assessed but become a charge on the leased property or any part thereof, or in lieu thereof, shall have furnished security reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

                    5.4          If by law any such taxes or assessments may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments, Lessee may, provided no event of default shall then exist, exercise the option to pay the same in installments, and in such event shall pay such installments as may become due during the term before any fine, penalty, further interest or cost may be added thereto, so long as Lessee is not in default under this Lease, but if Lessee does default under this Lease, then Lessor shall have the right to thereupon demand that Lessee shall pay in full any or all outstanding taxes and/or assessments. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Lessee shall be required to pay such taxes and/or assessments in full at least one (1) year before the expiration of the term or in the event of earlier termination hereof Lessee shall pay such taxes and/or assessments in full prior to such termination.

                    5.5          Any taxes or assessments (except those which have been converted into installment payments by Lessee) relating to a fiscal period of a taxing authority, a part of which is included in a period of time after the expiration of the term, shall (whether or not such tax shall be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon or in respect of or become a lien upon the property or shall become due and payable during the term) be pro-rated between Lessor and Lessee as of the expiration of the term, based upon the taxable year. This clause shall not apply in the event of an early termination of this Lease due to default by Lessee.

                    5.6          The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor official receipts or other satisfactory proof of payment upon receipt thereof by Lessee.

5

                    5.7          In the event of any of the following:

                              5.7.1.          The Lessee defaults under any of the terms of this Lease and fails to cure such default within the period after notice is herein provided; or

                              5.7.2          Lessee defaults under any of the terms of this Lease and as a result thereof the Lessor gives written notice of such defaults to the Lessee twice within any period of twelve (12) consecutive months during the term of this Lease (notwithstanding that such defaults shall have been cured within the period after notice as herein provided); or

                              5.7.3          Lessee fails to pay any taxes or assessments levied against the leased property within thirty (30) days after the due date for payment; or

                              5.7.4          In accordance with the provisions of the First Mortgage, in the event that the First Mortgagee requests that the Lessee make the following payments;

then Lessor shall have the right to thereupon demand that Lessee shall pay in addition to each monthly payment of rent to be paid hereunder, a sum equivalent to one-twelfth of the amount estimated by Lessor to be sufficient to enable Lessor to pay at least thirty (30) days before they become due, all such taxes, assessments and other charges. Such additional payments may be commingled with the general funds of Lessor and no interest shall be payable in respect thereof. Upon demand by Lessor, Lessee will deliver and pay over to Lessor such additional sums as are necessary to make up any deficiency in the amount necessary to enable Lessor to fully pay such taxes, assessments and other charges.

Article 6 - RISK ALLOCATION AND INSURANCE

                    6.1          Allocation of Risks. The parties desire, to the extent permitted by law, to allocate certain risks of personal injury, bodily injury and property damage, and risks of loss of real or personal property by reason of fire, explosion or other casualty, and to provide for the responsibility for insuring those risks. It is the intent of the parties that, to the extent any event is insured for or required herein to be insured for, any loss, cost, damage or expense arising from such event, including, without limitation, the expense of defense against claims or suits, be covered by insurance, without regard to the fault of Lessee, its officers, employees or agents ('Lessee Protected Parties'), and without regard to the fault of Lessor, its respective partners, shareholders, members, agents, directors, officers and employees ('Lessor Protected Parties'). As between Lessor Protected Parties and Lessee Protected Parties, such risks are allocated as follows:

                                        (a)          Lessee shall bear the risk of bodily injury, personal injury or death, or damage to the property, of third persons, occasioned by events occurring on or about the leased premises, regardless of the party at fault. Said risks shall be insured as provided in Section 6.2(a); and

6

                                        (b)          Lessee shall bear the risk of damage to the improvements on the leased premises and to Lessee's contents, trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture and furnishings in the leased premises arising out of loss by the events required to be insured against pursuant to Sections 6.2(b), (d) and (e).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Lessee does not default in its obligation to carry insurance under Section 6.2(a), if and to the extent that any loss occasioned by any event of the type described in Section 6.1(a) exceeds the coverage or the amount of insurance required to be carried under said Section or such greater coverage or amount of insurance as is actually carried, or results from an event not required to be insured against or not actually insured against, the party at fault shall pay the amount not actually covered.

                    6.2          Lessee's Insurance. Lessee shall procure and maintain policies of insurance, at its own cost and expense, insuring:

                                        (a)          The Lessor Protected Parties (as "named insureds"), and the First Mortgagee, and Lessee Protected Parties, from all claims, demands or actions made by or on behalf of any person or persons, firm or corporation and arising from, related to or connected with the leased premises, for bodily injury to or personal injury to or death of any person, or more than one (1) person, or for damage to property in an amount of not less than $2,000,000.00 combined single limit per occurrence/aggregate. Said insurance shall be written on an "occurrence" basis and not on a "claims made" basis. If at any time during the term of this Lease, Lessee owns or rents more than one location, the policy shall provide that the aggregate limit in the policy shall apply separately to each location owned or rented by Lessee. Lessor shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, to require Lessee to increase such limit if, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, the amount thereof is insufficient to protect the Lessor Protected Parties and Lessee Protected Parties from judgments which might result from such claims, demands or actions;

                                        (b)          The Improvements at any time situated upon the leased premises ("Improvements") against loss or damage by fire, lightning, wind, storm, hail storm, aircraft, vehicles, smoke, explosion, sewer back-up, riot or civil commotion as provided by the Standard Fire and Extended Coverage Policy and all other risks of direct physical loss as insured against under Special Form ('all risk" coverage). Such coverage shall be provided under the blanket policy maintained by Lessee. The insurance coverage shall be for not less than 100% of the full replacement cost of such Improvements and will include building ordinance coverage to include demolition and increased loss of construction, which building ordinance coverage endorsement shall be in an amount as Lessor shall reasonably require, all subject only to such deductibles as Lessor shall reasonably approve in writing. If, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, the amount thereof is insufficient to protect the Improvements, by an agreed amount endorsement covering the Improvements, the full replacement cost of the Improvements shall be designated annually by Lessor, in the good faith exercise of Lessor's judgment. In the event that Lessee does not agree with Lessor's designation, Lessee shall have the right to submit the matter to an insurance appraiser reasonably selected by Lessor and paid for by Lessee. The insurance appraiser shall submit a written report of his appraisal and if said report discloses that the

7

Improvements are not insured as therein required, Lessee shall promptly obtain the insurance required. Lessor shall be named as an additional insured and Lessee shall direct its insurer to pay all proceeds for loss or damage to the Improvements only to Lessor. Said insurance shall contain a policy provision waiving the insurer's right of subrogation against any Lessor Protected Party or any Lessee Protected party, provided that such waiver of the right of subrogation shall not be operative in any case where the effect thereof is to invalidate such insurance coverage or increase the cost thereof (except that either party shall have the right, within thirty (30) days following written notice, to pay such increased cost, thereby keeping such waiver in full force and effect);

                                        (c)          Lessor's business income, protecting Lessor from loss of rents and other charges during the period while the leased premises are unleaseable due to fire or other casualty (for a twelve (12) month period);

                                        (d)          Intentionally Omitted;

                                        (e)          All contents and Lessee's trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture and furnishings in the leased premises to the extent of at least ninety percent (90%) of their replacement cost under Standard Fire and Extended Coverage Policy and all other risks of direct physical loss as insured against under Special Form ("all risk" coverage). Said insurance shall contain an endorsement waiving the insurer's right of subrogation against any Lessor Protected Party, provided that such waiver of the right of subrogation shall not be operative in any case where the effect thereof is to invalidate such insurance coverage or increase the cost thereof (except that Lessor shall have the right, within thirty (30) days following written notice, to pay such increased cost, thereby keeping such waiver in full force and effect);

                                        (f)          Lessee Protected Parties from all worker's compensation claims; 

                                        (g)          Intentionally Omitted; and

                                        (h)          Insurance against loss or damage to the Improvements from external explosion of boilers, air conditioning equipment and miscellaneous electrical apparatus, if any, in the leased premises. Lessor shall be named as an additional insured and Lessee shall direct its insurer to pay all proceeds for loss or damage to the Improvements only to Lessor. Said insurance shall contain an endorsement waiving the insurer's right of subrogation against any Lessor Protected Party or any Lessee Protected Party, provided that such waiver or right of subrogation shall not be operative in any case where the effect thereof is to invalidate such insurance coverage or increase the cost thereof (except that either party shall have the right, within thirty (30) days following written notice, to pay such increased costs, thereby keeping such waiver in full force and effect.

                    6.3          Form of Insurance. All of the aforesaid insurance shall be in responsible companies. The insurer and the form, substance and amount (where not stated above) shall be satisfactory from time to time to Lessor and the First Mortgagee, and shall unconditionally provide that it is not subject to cancellation or non-renewal except after at least thirty (30) days

8

prior written notice to Lessor and the First Mortgagee (except that such period shall be reduced to ten (10) days in the event of cancellation for nonpayment of premiums). The insurance specified in Section 6.2(b) shall contain a mortgage clause satisfactory to the First Mortgagee and the insurance specified in Sections 6.2(c), (d) and (h) shall also insure the First Mortgagee as required by the First Mortgagee. Originals of Lessee's insurance policies (or certificates thereof satisfactory to Lessor), together with satisfactory evidence of payment of the premiums thereon, shall be deposited with Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the term of such coverage.

                    6.4          Fire Protection. Lessee shall conform with all applicable fire codes of any governmental authority, and with the rules and regulations of Lessor's fire underwriters and their fire protection engineers, including, without limitation, the installation of adequate fire extinguishers. In the event that the leased premises are served by a sprinkler system, Lessee will, at all times during the entire Lease term, cause the same to be served by a sprinkler monitoring system connected to the local Fire department or to a qualified monitoring service approved by Lessor; provided, however, that Lessee may self monitor such systems if it certifies to Lessor that its systems meet NFPA 72 Standard for Proprietary Protective Signaling System.

Article 7 - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

                    7.1          Lessee will, in its use and occupancy of the leased premises, at its sole cost and expense, comply with, and shall cause all subtenants and other occupants of the leased property to comply with, all Federal, State, county, municipal and other governmental statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations and ordinances affecting the leased premises or any part thereof or the use thereof. This shall include without limitation obtaining and paying for any and all permits in connection with the use and occupation of the property and shall also pertain to any required structural changes, subject however to Article 10, "Alterations and Additions".

                    7.2          After first having obtained the Lessors' prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and also first having obtained the First Mortgagee's prior written approval, and also having first provided the Lessor with whatever security Lessor may deem necessary under the circumstances, Lessee may thereafter have the right, at its own expense, to contest or review by legal proceedings, or otherwise, any such statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations, or ordinances, in its own name, or in the name of Lessor or in both names as Lessee shall deem necessary. During the period of any such contest or review, Lessee shall not be deemed in default under this lease for noncompliance with any such statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations or ordinances.

Article 8 - MECHANIC'S LIENS

                    8.1          Lessee will not create or permit to be created, or to remain, and will promptly discharge, at its sole cost and expense, any lien, encumbrance or charge upon the leased property or any part thereof, or upon Lessee's leasehold interest therein, except such as are created by the Lessor or the First Mortgagee. Provided however that, after first having obtained First Mortgagee's prior written approval, Lessee shall have the right, at its own expense, to

9

contest by legal proceedings or otherwise, any such lien, encumbrance or charge upon the leased premises, or the underlying claim giving rise to any such lien, encumbrance or charge, in its own name, or in the name of Lessor or in both names, as Lessee shall deem necessary. During the period of any such contest or proceedings, Lessee shall not be deemed in default under this Lease solely because of the existence of any such lien, encumbrance or charge upon the leased premises. Nothing in this lease contained shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to or for the performance of any labor or construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the leased premises or any part thereof. Notice is hereby given that Lessor will not be liable for any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Lessee, or to anyone holding the leased premises or any part thereof through or under Lessee, and that no mechanic's or other liens for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Lessor or the First Mortgagee in and to the leased premises. Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee to remove any mechanic's lien, on twenty (20) days notice, by providing a bond at Lessee's expense.

Article 9 - REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

                    9.1          Lessee shall keep the leased property, including pipes, heating systems, plumbing systems, sprinkler systems, window glass, fixtures and all other appliances and appurtenances, all equipment and other property located thereon, and all alleyways, passageways, sidewalks, curbs and vaults adjoining the leased property in good and clean order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, shall not make or suffer any waste or damage thereto, and shall make all necessary repairs, replacements and renewals thereof, interior and exterior, structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary and foreseen and unforseen. The Lessee shall also maintain all portions of the leased property and adjoining areas, in a clean and orderly condition, free of dirt, rubbish, snow, ice and unlawful obstructions. The necessity for and adequacy of the maintenance, repairs and replacements to the property made or required to be made pursuant to this Section shall be measured by the standards which are appropriate for first-class buildings of similar construction containing similar facilities and which are necessary to maintain the property at all times as a first-class project in a good state of repair.

Article 10 - ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

                    10.1          Lessee, may, at any time, at its sole cost and expense, make all alterations and additions to existing structures and may make other improvements to the leased property, provided that Lessee is not in default under any of the terms or provisions of this Lease, subject to the further provisions of this Article and to all other applicable provisions of this Lease.

                    10.2          No alteration or addition shall be made without Lessor's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if:

                              10.2.1          The proposed alteration or addition would change the type or character of the Improvements; or

10

                              10.2.2          The proposed alteration or addition would reduce the size of the Improvements or diminish the area thereof; or

                              10.2.3          If, in any single instance, the estimated cost of any proposed alteration or addition is $50,000.00 or more.

                    10.3          In the event the Lessee should at any time intend to make an addition to the Improvements and if the Lessee intends to obtain a loan to finance the same, then the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor a written notice to that effect including: (i) plans and specifications; (ii) an itemization of all costs involving such construction; (iii) a copy of the construction contract, if any; and (iv) a copy of any bona fide loan commitment which Lessee has received, and/or a copy of any offer of proposed financing which Lessee has received, if any. The Lessor shall have the right and option for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice and data to elect to finance such construction upon the same terms as were stated in such prior loan commitment, if any, or in such offer of proposed financing (iv above) by written notice by Lessor to Lessee, or upon any other mutually agreeable terms. If Lessor does not elect to exercise such option and if such proposed loan is effected within ninety (90) days after the termination of such option in the manner and upon the terms set forth in said prior loan commitment, or said prior offer or proposed financing, as the case may be, then the said loan may be consummated, provided however the terms of this Section shall have equal application to any new such lender. If the Lessor does not elect to exercise such option and if the proposed loan is not effected within ninety (90) days after the termination of such option, then such construction may not be financed by a party other than Lessor without again giving the notice to Lessor and the Lessor again shall have the option to loan as herein provided.

                    10.4          Except for alterations and additions not requiring Lessor's prior consent, each alteration or addition shall be made under the supervision of an architect or engineer selected by Lessee and approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and shall be made in accordance with detailed plans and specifications prepared by such architect or engineer. Copies of all such plans and specifications shall be delivered by Lessee to Lessor, and shall be subject to Lessor's prior approval.

                    10.5          No alteration or addition shall be made except in compliance by Lessee with each of the following provisions:

                              10.5.1          All alterations and additions shall be made with reasonable diligence and dispatch (subject to unavoidable delays) in a first-class manner and with first-class workmanship and materials comparable to or better than those existing.

                              10.5.2          Before any changes or alterations are begun, Lessee shall procure, at its expense, all necessary licenses, permits, approvals and authorizations from all governmental authorities and shall upon demand deliver photocopies thereof to Lessor. Upon Lessee's request, Lessor shall join in the application for such license, permits, approvals and authorizations whenever such action is necessary and Lessee covenants that Lessor will not suffer, sustain or incur any cost, expense or liability by reason thereof.

11

                              10.5.3          Promptly after the completion of any change or alteration, Lessee shall procure at Lessee's expense all such approvals by governmental authorities, if any, of the completed change or alteration as may be required by any applicable law or ordinance or any applicable rule or regulation of governmental authorities and all such insurance organizations' approvals, if any, as may be required or customary in connection therewith, and on written demand shall promptly deliver photocopies thereof to Lessor.

                              10.5.4          No alteration or addition shall create any encroachment upon any street or upon any adjacent premises.

                              10.5.5          Unless performed entirely within the enclosure walls of any building then existing on the premises, Lessee shall on written demand promptly deliver to Lessor a copy of a final survey of the premises showing the completed alteration or addition.

                              10.5.6          No alteration or addition shall be made which would render title to the leased premises or any part thereof unmarketable or objectionable to Lessor.

                              10.5.7          No alteration or addition shall be made which would tie-in or connect any building or structure on the premises with any other building or structure located outside of the boundary lines of the premises without the written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                              10.5.8          At all times when any alteration or addition is in progress there shall be maintained, at the Lessee's expense, workmen's compensation insurance in accordance with the law covering all persons employed in connection with the alteration or addition and general liability insurance for the mutual benefit of and insuring the Lessee, Lessor and First Mortgagee, expressly covering the additional hazards due to the addition or alteration, and the Lessee shall provide the Lessor with a copy of such insurance policies upon demand.

                    10.6          The Lessor shall in no event be required to maintain or make any alteration, rebuilding, replacement, change, addition, improvement or repair upon the leased property during the term.

                    10.7          All buildings, alterations, rebuildings, replacements, changes, additions, improvements, equipment and appurtenances on or in the leased property which were placed thereon after December 31, 1975 or which may hereafter be placed thereon shall immediately become the sole and absolute property of the Lessor and shall be deemed to be part of the leased property except that all moveable equipment and trade fixtures installed by the Lessee or others holding under or through the Lessee, shall be and remain the property of the Lessee or such other parties. The Lessor may designate by written notice to Lessee those alterations and additions which shall be removed by Lessee at the expiration or termination of the Lease and Lessee shall promptly remove the same and repair any damage to the leased premises caused by such removal, except as to such alterations and/or additions to which the Lessor (or the Original Lessor) has previously given the Lessee its written consent that the same need not be removed by Lessee at the expiration or termination of this Lease.

12

Article 11 - INDEMNITY

                    11.1          Indemnity. Lessee will protect, indemnify and save harmless Lessor (for the purpose of this Article 11 only, the term "Lessor" shall also include the First Mortgagee and the agents of the First Mortgagee and any purchaser of the leased property) Protected Parties (as defined in Section 6.1) from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the Lessor Protected Parties or any of them of which Lessee is given written notice by reason of (i) any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease; or (ii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the leased premises or any part thereof. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Lessor Protected Parties, of which Lessee is given written notice by reason of any occurrence described in this Section 11.1, Lessee will, at Lessee's expense, by counsel approved by Lessor, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended. The obligations of Lessee under this Section 11.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Lessee warrants, covenants and represents to Lessor that Lessee will perform, in a timely and proper manner, all of Lessee's obligations under the agreement between Buckeye Pipeline Company and Lessee recorded in Liber 16467, page 203 and under the agreement between Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company and Lessee dated September 5, 1967, involving side tracks.

Article 12 - UTILITIES

                    12.1          Charges for utilities, including without limitation gas, electricity, light, heat, power, water, sewage and telephone or other communication services, shall be paid by Lessee as they are incurred. The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor receipts or other satisfactory proof of payment of such premiums within a reasonable time after demand by the Lessor.

                    12.2          Lessee shall have the right to use the utility facilities which are presently existing on the leased premises, however, Lessor shall not be required to furnish any service to the leased premises, including, but not limited to, heat, water and power. The Lessor shall not be liable for any failure of water supply or electric current or any service by any utility, for injury to persons (including death) or damage to property resulting from steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or snow which may flow or leak from any part of the leased property or from any pipes, appliances or plumbing works from the street or subsurface or from any other place, or for interference with light or other easements, however caused, except if due to the affirmative negligence of the Lessor.

                    12.3          If the existing facilities are required to be modified or replaced for any reason by any utility company or authorized agency, governmental or otherwise, then Lessee shall comply with the same at its own cost and shall save Lessor harmless therefrom, all subject to Article 10, "Alterations and additions".

13

Article 13 - RESTORATION

                    13.1          In case of any damage to or destruction of the leased property or any part thereof, Lessee shall give immediate notice thereof to Lessor and First Mortgagee, and Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, repair, restore, or rebuild the leased premises or the part thereof so damaged, as nearly as possible to the value, condition and character the same was in immediately prior to such damage or destruction, with such changes or alterations as may be made at Lessee's election pursuant to and subject to the conditions of Article 10, Alterations and Additions, (such repair, restoration, rebuilding, changes and alterations, together with any temporary repairs and property protecting pending completion of the work being herein called "restoration") all in accordance with plans and specifications therefor first approved by Lessor, unless Lessor shall have waived its right of approval in writing.

                    13.2          If, by reason of any damage or destruction mentioned in Sec. 13.1, any sums are to be paid under any insurance policy mentioned in Article 6 hereof, after receiving First Mortgagee's prior written approval, such sum shall be paid as follows:

                              13.2.1          Such sums, other than rent insurance proceeds paid pursuant to Section 6.2(c), shall be paid as provided in Sec. 13.3 except that if the aggregate insurance proceeds received by reason of any single instance of damage or destruction shall be less than $50,000 Dollars, such insurance proceeds (all of Lessor's right, title and interest to which proceeds are hereby assigned to Lessee) shall be paid over to Lessee, and Lessee shall hold the same as a trust fund to be used first for the payment of the entire cost of restoration before using the same for any other purpose; provided however, that if any event of default by Lessee shall exist hereunder at the time such proceeds are so to be paid over to Lessee, such proceeds shall be held and applied as provided for in Sec. 13.3.

                              13.2.2          Rent insurance proceeds paid pursuant to Section 6.2(c), if payable, shall be applied to the payment of, when and as due and payable, the installments of rent and other payments due under this Lease until restoration has been completed. The balance, if any, of such proceeds shall be paid to Lessee or as Lessee may direct. Furthermore, if Lessee shall have escrowed funds with Lessor to be used for the payment of future taxes (under Sec. 5.6 hereof) and/or to be used for the payment of future insurance premiums (under Sec. 6.5 hereof) such insurance proceeds pertaining to taxes and/or insurance shall belong to the Lessee to the extent of such prepaid escrowed funds.

                    13.3          If the aggregate insurance proceeds (other than rent insurance proceeds paid pursuant to Section 6.2(c)) received by reason of any single instance of damage or destruction shall be $50,000 Dollars or more, such insurance proceeds shall be paid over to the Lessor or the First Mortgagee as a Depositary, which shall hold the same as a trust fund to be used for the payment of the cost of restoration as hereinafter provided. Upon receipt by the Depositary of:

                              13.3.1          A certificate of Lessee dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such receipt (i) requesting the payment of a specified amount of such money; (ii)

14

describing in reasonable detail the work and materials applied to the restoration since the date of the last certificate of Lessee; (iii) stating that such specified amount does not exceed the cost of such work and material; (iv) stating that such work and materials have not previously been made the basis of any request for any withdrawal of money;

                              13.3.2          A certificate of an independent engineer or independent architect designated by Lessee, who shall be approved by Lessor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) stating (i) that the work and materials described in the accompanying certificate of Lessee were satisfactorily performed and furnished and were necessary, appropriate and desirable to the restoration in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor approved by Lessor, unless Lessor shall have waived its right of approval in writing; (ii) that the amount specified in such certificate of Lessee is not in excess of the cost of such work and materials; (iii) the additional amount, if any, required to complete the restoration;

                              13.3.3          Evidence satisfactory to the First Mortgagee, and Lessor, that the cost of such work and materials have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of such advance; and

                              13.3.4          Either (i) a written opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lessor, or (ii) the certification of a title company satisfactory to Lessor, in either case that as of a date not more than two (2) days prior to the date of payment described below there exists no filed or recorded lien, encumbrance or change prior to or on a parity with the estate, rights and interest of Lessor (except for the First Mortgage and permitted exceptions); that the leased premises are not subject to any filed or recorded mechanic's, laborer's, materialmen's or other similar lien, encumbrance or charge, and that the fixtures and equipment are not subject to any title retention agreement, security agreement, lien or other encumbrance except those permitted herein; and

                              13.3.5          First Mortgagee's prior written consent to make the following payments in the manner and sums as provided for herein;

Then the Depositary shall pay to the Lessee the amount of such insurance monies specified in such certificate of Lessee, provided that the balance of funds then held by the Depositary will be sufficient for the completion of the restoration as determined by the certificate required by Subsection 13.3.2. Any balance of insurance proceeds after the completion of restoration, as evidenced by a certificate of such independent engineer or independent architect shall be paid to Lessee.

                    13.4          Except in the event of a default by Lessee hereunder, upon the completion of the term of this Lease as specified by Sec. 2.1, or sooner termination of this Lease by condemnation, and so long as Lessee is not in default hereunder, after receiving First Mortgagee's prior written approval, any insurance proceeds not theretofore applied to the cost of restoration, but required therefor, shall be paid to Lessor, and any excess insurance proceeds shall be paid to Lessee; provided however, that if such termination occurs pursuant to Article 14, "Condemnation", such insurance proceeds shall be deemed to be part of the condemnation award and shall be disposed of as provided in said Article.

15

                    13.5          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 13, if, within eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the term, the Improvements shall be damaged or destroyed to any extent greater than fifty (50%) percent of then full replacement cost thereof (as determined pursuant to Section 6.2(b) hereof), either party shall have the option within sixty (60) days from the date of said damage or destruction to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other party, which termination shall be effective not less than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice and thereupon this Lease shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice, and Lessee shall thereupon make payment of all net rent and other sums and charges payable by Lessee hereunder as justly apportioned to the date of such termination, except for any then unpaid installments of the assessments which Lessee has elected to pay in installments pursuant to Subsection 5.3 hereof, all of which installments shall forthwith be paid in full by Lessee to Lessor or the taxing authority. In the event of such termination Lessee shall not be required to repair the damage and all insurance monies payable as a result of such damage or destruction shall belong and be paid to Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise its aforesaid "option to terminate" (and any purported exercise thereof shall be void) if at the time:

                              13.5.1          Lessee shall then be in default hereunder; or

                              13.5.2          Any First Mortgage is in effect. In the event all conditions precedent to Lessee's right to exercise its option are satisfied, except the condition in this Subsection 13.5.2, Lessee may exercise its option, provided the hazard insurance proceeds are sufficient to pay off the First Mortgage in full.

                    13.6          Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 13.5 hereof, no destruction of or damage to the leased premises or any part thereof, whether such damage or destruction be partial or total or otherwise, shall entitle or permit Lessee to surrender or terminate this Lease or shall relieve Lessee from its liability to pay in full the rent and other sums and charges payable by Lessee hereunder or from any of its other obligations under this Lease and Lessee waives any rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by statute or otherwise to surrender this Lease or quit or surrender the leased premises or any part thereof or to receive any suspension, diminution, abatement or reduction of the rent or other sums and charges payable by Lessee hereunder on account of any such destruction or damage except that to the extent to which the Lessor shall have received and retained a sum as proceeds of any rent insurance pursuant to Subsection 13.2.2 hereof, Lessee shall be entitled to a credit therefor against its obligations under this Lease to pay the rent and such other sums and charges.

Article 14 - CONDEMNATION

                    14.1          Taking of Whole. If the whole of the leased premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi public use or purpose by a competent authority, or if such a portion of the leased premises shall be so taken that as a result thereof the balance cannot be used for the same purpose and with substantially the same utility to Lessee as immediately prior to such taking (including a taking of any portion of the parking area such that the remaining land will not reasonably permit a relocation and reconstruction of the parking area which will permit

16

the building located on the leased premises to be used as a warehouse), and Lessee elects to terminate this Lease, which election shall be made by giving written notice thereof to Lessor within thirty (30) days after Lessee receives notice of such taking from Lessor or the condemning authority, then in such event, this Lease shall terminate upon delivery of possession to the condemning authority, and any award, compensation or damages hereinafter sometimes called the "Award") shall be paid to and be the sole property of Lessor whether the Award shall be made as compensation for diminution of the value of the leasehold estate or the fee of the leased premises or otherwise and Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to any and all of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall be entitled to participate in such proceedings at Lessee's expense, and shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Lessor, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Lessee in Lessee's own right on account of any and all damage to Lessee's business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss to which Lessee might be put in removing Lessee's merchandise, furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property, but in no event shall Lessee be entitled to any claim or payment based upon the value of any expired term of this Lease. Lessee shall continue to pay rent until the Lease is terminated and any impositions under Article 5 (Taxes and Assessments) and insurance premiums prepaid by Lessee or any unpaid impositions or other charges which accrue prior to the termination, shall be adjusted between the parties.

                    14.2          Partial Taking. If only a part of the leased premises shall be so taken or condemned, but the Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense (subject to Lessee's right to use the Award for such purpose as described below), shall repair and restore the leased premises and all Improvements thereon. Should the building which forms a part of the leased premises be reduced, then the annual fixed rent to be paid by Lessee to Lessor in accordance with Article 4 of this Lease shall be reduced by an amount equal to 10.875% percent of the "Net Award" actually received by Lessor (after payment of reasonable expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees, and deducting therefrom any other amounts paid by Lessor to Lessee in accordance with this Article and further deducting any amount the First Mortgagee requires to be paid against the mortgage indebtedness), provided, however, that the annual fixed rent shall not be reduced as herein provided unless the "Net Award" as herein defined exceeds the sum of $25,000.00. Lessee shall promptly and diligently proceed to make a complete architectural unit of the remainder of the improvements, complying with the procedure set forth in Article 13 for such purpose, and provided Lessee is not then in default hereunder, the amount of the Award relating to the improvements shall be deposited with the Depositary (as defined in Article 13 hereof) which shall disburse the Award to apply on the cost of said repairing or restoration in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 13.3. If Lessee does not make a complete architectural unit of the remainder of the improvements within a reasonable period after such taking or condemnation, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, then, in addition to whatever other remedies Lessor may have either under this Lease, at law or in equity, the money received by and then remaining in the custody of the Depositary shall, at Lessor's election be paid to and retained by Lessor, as liquidated damages resulting from failure of Lessee to comply with the provisions of this Section. Any portion of the Award as may not have to be expended for such repairing or restoration shall be paid to Lessor."

17

Article 15 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

                    15.1          Consent Required

                                        (a)          Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent, (i) assign or convey this Lease or any interest under it; (ii) sublet the leased premises or any part thereof; (iii) amend a sublease previously consented to by Lessor; or (iv) permit the use or occupancy of the leased premises or any part thereof by anyone other than Lessee. If Lessee proposes to assign the Lease or enter into any sublease of the leased premises, Lessee shall deliver written notice thereof to Lessor, together with a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment, or the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease. Any proposed assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease. Any proposed assignment shall contain an express written assumption by assignee of all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. Any proposed sublease shall (i) provide that the sublessee shall procure and maintain policies of insurance as required of Lessee under the terms of Section 6.2 hereof, (ii) provide for a copy to Lessor of notice of default by either party, and (iii) otherwise be reasonably acceptable in form to Lessor.

                                        (b)          Lessor's consent to any assignment or subletting shall not unreasonably be withheld. In making its determination as to whether to consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Lessor may consider, among other things, the creditworthiness and business reputation of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the intended manner of use of the leased premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee, the estimated vehicular traffic on or about the leased premises which would be generated by the proposed assignee or sublessee or by its manner of use of the leased premises, and any other factors which Lessor may reasonably deem relevant. Lessee's remedy, in the event that Lessor shall unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting, shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment and in no event shall Lessor be liable for damages resulting therefrom. Lessor agrees to promptly stipulate to the facts in any such proceedings for injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. No consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall be deemed to be a consent to any further assignment or subletting or to any sub-subletting.

                                        (c)          In the event that Lessee proposes to assign the Lease or to enter into a sublease of all or substantially all of the leased premises, Lessor shall have the right, so long as the First Mortgagee shall consent in writing thereof, in lieu of consenting thereto, to terminate this Lease, effective as of the effective date of the proposed assignment or the commencement date of the proposed sublease, as the case may be. Lessor may exercise said right by giving Lessee written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after receipt by Lessor of Lessee's notice, given in compliance with Article 20 hereof, of the proposed assignment or sublease. In the event that Lessor exercises such right, Lessee shall surrender the leased premises on the effective date of the termination and this Lease shall thereupon terminate. Lessor may, in the event of such termination, enter into a lease with any proposed assignee or sublessee for the leased premises.

18

                                        (d)          In the event that Lessee subleases only a portion of the leased premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor monthly, as additional rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of the amount calculated by subtracting from the rent and other charges and consideration payable from time to time by the sublessee to Lessee for said space, the amount of rent payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, allocated (based on the relative rentable square foot area of the total leased premises and of that portion of the leased premises so subleased by Lessee) to the subleased portion of the leased premises.

                                        (e)          No permitted assignment shall be effective and no permitted sublease shall commence unless and until any default by Lessee hereunder shall have been cured. No permitted assignment or subletting shall relieve Lessee from Lessee's obligations and agreements hereunder and Lessee shall continue to be liable as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety to the same extent as though no assignment or subletting had been made.

                    15.2          Permitted Assignments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee may, without Lessor's consent, grant a mortgage or security interest in this Lease, provided that such mortgage or security interest shall apply only to Lessee's leasehold interest in the leased premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee may, without Lessor's consent, assign this Lease to any corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation of the Lessee or to any corporation or other entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee upon the following conditions: (a) that the tangible net worth of such assignee after such consolidation or merger shall be equal to or more than that of Lessee immediately prior to such consolidation or merger; (b) that Lessee is not at such time in default hereunder; and (c) that such assignee or successor shall execute an instrument in writing fully assuming all of the obligations and liabilities imposed upon Lessee hereunder and deliver the same to Lessor prior to the effective date of such assignment. Lessor's right to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 15.1(c) above shall not apply to any permitted assignment under this Section 15.2.

                    15.3          Other Transfer of Lease. Lessee shall not allow or permit any transfer of this Lease, or any interest hereunder, by operation of law, or mortgage, pledge, encumber or permit a lien on this Lease or any interest herein.

                    15.4          Lessor's Rights. The Lessor may assign, mortgage, sell or otherwise transfer its right, title and interest in the leased property without Lessee's consent.

                    15.5          Assignment of Rents. Should Lessee sublet all or any portion of the leased premises, the interest of the Lessee in any such subleases and all rents from any such sublessees and all other rents and profits of and from the leased premises are hereby collaterally assigned to Lessor effective upon default by Lessee hereunder and shall be payable under such assignment to Lessor. Each sublease hereinafter executed by Lessee will include provisions and forms satisfactory to Lessor, (a) in which the sublessee acknowledges the superior rights of Lessor under the terms of this Lease and (b) the sublessee, upon request of Lessor, shall agree that in the event of the termination of the leasehold estate created by this Lease, its sublease shall

19

continue in full force and effect and the sublessee shall upon request from Lessor attorn to and acknowledge Lessor, its successors and assigns, as Lessor under the sublease."

Article 16 - CURING OF LESSEE'S DEFAULT

                    16.1          If Lessee shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any act on its part to be made or performed hereunder, then Lessor, after ten (10) days' notice to Lessee, except when other notice is expressly provided for in this Lease (or upon such shorter or immediate notice as may be reasonable in case of an emergency situation which physically threatens the leased property), and without waiving or releasing Lessee from the obligations of Lessee contained in this Lease, may (but shall be under no obligation to) make such payment or perform such act, and may enter upon the leased premises for any such purpose, and take all such action thereon as may be necessary therefor.

                    16.2          All sums paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the performance of any such act, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to two (2%) percent in excess of the announced base rate of interest of American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago in effect on the respective dates of Lessor's making of such payment or incurring of such cost and expense until the same shall be paid, together with any consequential damages Lessor may suffer by reason of the failure of Lessee to make such payment or perform such act, and counsel fees incurred by Lessor in connection therewith or in enforcing its rights hereunder, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand as addition rent hereunder.

                    16.3          Lessee agrees to hold Lessor harmless from any inconvenience or interference with Lessee's operation of its business as a result of Lessor having to cure a default of Lessee hereunder. 

Article 17 - REMEDIES

                    17.1          Defaults. Lessee agrees that any one or more of the following events shall be considered Events of Default as said term is used herein:

                              (a)          Lessee shall be adjudged an involuntary bankrupt, or a decree or order approving, as properly filed, a petition or answer filed against Lessee asking reorganization of Lessee under the Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter amended, or under the laws of any state, shall be entered, and any such decree or judgment or order shall not have been vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days from the date of the entry or granting thereof; or

                              (b)          Lessee shall file or admit the jurisdiction of the court and the material allegations contained in any petition in bankruptcy or any petition pursuant or purporting to be pursuant to the Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter amended, or Lessee shall institute any proceeding or shall give its consent to the institution of any proceedings for any relief of Lessee under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws or any laws relating to the relief of

20

debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangements, composition or extension; or

                              (c)          Lessee shall make any assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver for Lessee or any of the property of Lessee; or

                              (d)          The leased premises are levied upon by any revenue officer or similar officer; or

                              (e)          A decree or order appointing a receiver of the property of Lessee shall be made and such decree or order shall not have been vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days from the date of entry or granting thereof; or

                              (f)          Lessee shall abandon the leased premises during the term hereof; or

                              (g)          Lessee shall default in any payment of Rent or in any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder when due as herein provided (all of which other payments shall be deemed 'additional rent' payable hereunder), or shall default under Section 6.2 hereof, and any such default shall continue for five (5) days after notice thereof in writing to Lessee; or

                              (h)          Lessee shall fail to contest the validity of any lien or claimed lien and give security to Lessor to assure payment thereof, or, having commenced to contest the same and having given such security, shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or shall fail to have the same released and satisfy any judgment rendered thereon, and such default continues for ten (10) days after notice thereof in writing to Lessee; or

                              (i)          Lessee shall default in keeping, observing or performing any of the other covenants or agreements herein contained to be kept, observed and performed by Lessee, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof in writing to Lessee or shall exist at the expiration of the Lease term; or

                              (j)          Lessee shall default in keeping, observing or performing any covenant or agreement herein contained to be kept, observed and performed by Lessee, which default may result in an imminent risk of damage to property (including without limitation the leased premises or the Improvements thereon) or injury to or death of persons, and such default shall not be cured immediately upon notice thereof to Lessee (which notice may be oral); or

                              (k)          Intentionally Omitted; or

                              (l)          Lessee shall repeatedly be late in the payment of rent or other charges required to be paid hereunder or shall repeatedly default in the keeping, observing, or performing of any other covenants or agreements herein contained to be kept, observed or

21

performed by Lessee (provided notice of such payment or other defaults shall have been given to Lessee, but whether or not Lessee shall have timely cured any such payment or other defaults of which notice was given). For purposes of this subsection, the term "repeatedly" shall mean that a late payment or default occurs at least three (3) times during a twelve (12) month period.

                    17.2          Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default, Lessor may at its election terminate this Lease or terminate Lessee's right to possession only, without terminating the Lease. Upon termination of the Lease, or upon any termination of Lessee's right to possession without termination of the Lease, Lessee shall surrender possession and vacate the leased property immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Lessor, and hereby grants to Lessor the full and free right, without demand or notice of any kind to Lessee (except as hereinabove expressly provided for), to enter into and upon the leased property in such event with process of law and to repossess the leased property as Lessor's former estate and to expel or remove Lessee and any others who may be occupying or within the leased property without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction, or forcible entry or detainer, without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom and without relinquishing Lessor's rights to rent or any other right given to Lessor hereunder or by operation of law. Upon termination of the Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to recover as damages all rent and other sums due and payable by Lessee on the date of termination, plus (a) an amount equal to the value, on an annual basis, of the excess (discounted to present value at eight percent (8%) annually) of (i) the rent and other sums provided herein to be paid by Lessee for the residue of the stated term hereof over (ii) the fair rental value of the leased property for the residue of the stated term taking into account the time and expenses necessary to obtain a replacement lessee or lessees, including expenses hereinafter described relating to recovery of the leased property, preparation for reletting and for reletting itself), and (b) the cost of performing any other covenants to be performed by Lessee. If Lessor elects to terminate Lessee's right to possession only without terminating the Lease, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, enter on to the leased property, remove Lessee's signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as hereinafter provided, without such entry and possession terminating the Lease or releasing Lessee, in whole or in part, from Lessee's obligations to pay the rent and other sums provided herein to be paid by Lessee for the full term or from any other of its obligations under this Lease. Lessor may relet all or any part of the leased property for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Lessor (including the right to relet the leased property as a part of a larger area the right to change the character or use made of the leased property). For the purpose of such reletting, Lessor may decorate or make any repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the leased property that may be necessary or convenient. If Lessor does not relet the leased property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand damages equal to the amount of the rent, and other sums provided herein to be paid by Lessee for the remainder of the Lease term. If the leased property is relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting after paying all of the expenses of such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations, additions, the expenses of such reletting and the collection of the rent accruing therefrom (including, but not by way of limitation, attorneys' fees and brokers' commissions), to satisfy the rent and other sums herein provided to be paid for the remainder of the Lease term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand any deficiency and Lessee agrees that Lessor may file suit to recover any rent or other sums falling due under the terms of this Section from time to time. Lessor shall use reasonable efforts

22

to mitigate defaults; Lessor shall not be deemed to have failed to use such reasonable efforts by reason of the fact that Lessor has sought to relet the leased property at a rental rate higher than that payable by Lessee under this Lease (but not in excess of the then current market rental rate).

                    17.3          Lessee's Opportunity to Cure. If Lessee defaults under Section 19.1(i), and such default cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, and if notice thereof in writing shall have been given to Lessee, and if Lessee, prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days from and after the giving of such notice, commences to eliminate the cause of such default and proceeds diligently and with reasonable dispatch to take all steps and do all work required to cure such default and does so cure such default, then an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred; provided, however, that Lessee's right to cure hereunder shall not extend beyond the expiration of the Lease term, and provided further that the curing of any default in such manner shall not be construed to limit or restrict Lessor's remedies for any other default which becomes an Event of Default.

                    17.4          Intentionally Omitted.

                    17.5          Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Lessor shall be considered to exclude or suspend any other remedy but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Lessor may be exercised from time to time and so often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient.

                    17.6          No Waiver. No delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants of this Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other breach, or as a waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant. The acceptance by Lessor of any payment of Rent after the termination by Lessor of this Lease or of Lessee's right to possession hereunder shall not, in the absence of agreement in writing to the contrary by Lessor, be deemed to restore this Lease or Lessee's right to possession hereunder, as the case may be, but shall be construed as a payment on account, and not in satisfaction of damages due from Lessee to Lessor.

Article 18 - SUBORDINATION OR SUPERIORITY

                    18.1          Subordination or Superiority. If any First Mortgagee shall agree that, if it becomes the owner of the leased premises by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, it will recognize the rights and interest of Lessee under the Lease and not disturb Lessee's use and occupancy of the leased premises if and so long as no Event of Default of Lessee has occurred (which agreement may, at such mortgagee's option, require attornment by Lessee), then all or a portion of the rights and interests of Lessee under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the First Mortgage and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof. Any First Mortgagee may elect that,

23

instead of making this Lease subject and subordinate to its first mortgage or first trust deed, the rights and interest of Lessee under this Lease shall have priority over the lien of the First Mortgage. Lessee agrees that it will, within ten (10) days after demand in writing, execute and deliver whatever instruments may be reasonably required, either to make this Lease subject and subordinate to the First Mortgage, or to give the Lease priority over the lien of the First Mortgage, whichever alternative may be elected by the First Mortgagee. Should Lessor request that Lessee execute any document in accordance with this Section 18.1 more than one time during a twelve (12) month period, Lessor shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of Lessee resulting therefrom.

Article 19 - QUIET ENJOYMENT & RIGHT OF ENTRY

                    19.1          Lessee, upon performing the covenants herein on Lessee's part to be performed, shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the leased premises during the term hereof free of any claim or other action by Lessor or First Mortgagee or anyone claiming by, through, or under Lessor or First Mortgagee. Lessor warrants that Lessor has the full right to lease the leased premises for the term and in the manner herein provided.

                    19.2          Upon twenty-four (24) hour prior written notice to Lessee (or upon such shorter or immediate notice as may be reasonable in case of an emergency situation which physically threatens the leased property), Lessor or its agents shall have the right to enter the leased premises at all reasonable times to examine the same and to show them to prospective purchasers.

Article 20 - NOTICES

                    20.1          All notices and communications by either party to the other shall be in writing. All notices shall be sent by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Lessee at the address of the leased premises or at such other place as Lessee may from time-to-time designate in a written notice to Lessor; and addressed to Lessor at c/o Cohen Financial, 2 North LaSalle Street, Suite 800, Chicago, Illinois 60602 Attention: Legal Department, or at such other place that may from time-to-time be designated in a written notice to Lessee. In addition, Lessee shall be required to furnish the First Mortgagee with a copy of any notice to Lessor which specifies a default by Lessor of any of its obligations hereunder, which notice shall be addressed to First Mortgagee at Bank One, 200 S. Wacker Dr., 6th Floor, Mail Code IL-1-0950, Chicago, IL 60606, or at such other place as may from time-to-time be designated in a written notice to Lessee. Notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in United States mail, with postage fully prepaid.

Article 21 - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

                    21.1          Each party agrees that from time-to-time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior notice from the other to execute, acknowledge and deliver without charge to the other party or to any person designated by the other party a statement (but not more than one in any thirty (30) day period) in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications identifying the same by the date thereof and specifying the

24

nature thereof), that to the knowledge of such party no uncured event of default exists hereunder (or if any such uncured event of default does exist, specifying the same), the dates to which the rent and other sums and charges payable hereunder have been paid, and with respect to Lessee that Lessee to its knowledge has no claims against Lessor hereunder (or if Lessee has any such claims, specifying the same). Should Lessor request that Lessee execute any document in accordance with this Section 21.1 more than one time during a twelve (12) month period, Lessor shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of Lessee resulting therefrom.

Article 22 - SURRENDER OF THE PROPERTY

                    22.1          Upon the termination of this Lease, Lessee shall quit and surrender the leased premises, broom-clean, to Lessor without delay and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, free and clear of all lettings and occupancies, and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except that part of the premises which have been taken through eminent domain, if any, after the delivery hereof, without any payment therefor by Lessor. Upon such termination, title to (1) all the "leased property" as defined in Sec. 1.1 hereof, and (2) title to all buildings, alterations, rebuildings, replacements, changes, additions, improvements, fixtures, equipment and appurtenances which have been erected, installed or fixed on or in the leased property during the term of this Lease (not including moveable equipment and trade fixtures owned by Lessee), shall automatically vest in Lessor without the execution of any further instrument and this instrument shall be a conveyance of Lessee's interest in said properties as of such date of termination. Lessee shall, however, on demand execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor any further assurances of title to said improvements and properties as Lessor may request, and Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instrument in the name and on behalf of Lessee in the event Lessee shall for any reason fail to execute, acknowledge and deliver the same promptly after demand is made therefore by Lessor. Any personal property owned by Lessee or other occupant of the property which shall remain on the property after the termination of this Lease, and the removal of Lessee or other occupant from the property, may at the option of Lessor, be deemed to have been abandoned and may be disposed of without accountability, as Lessor may see fit, without prejudice to the rights of any such other occupant as against the Lessee.

          Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee to remove any alterations or additions constructed under Article 10 hereof that were constructed after 1978, subject to the terms of Section 10.7 above. Said rights shall be exercised by Lessor giving written notice to Lessee on or before ninety (90) days' after such termination. If Lessor requires removal of any such alterations or additions, and Lessee does not make such removal in accordance with this section at the time of such termination, or within ten (10) days after such request, whichever is later, Lessor may remove the same (and repair any damage occasioned thereby), and dispose thereof or, at its election, deliver the same to any other place of business of Lessee or warehouse the same. Lessee shall pay the costs of such removal, repair, delivery and warehousing to Lessor on demand. Upon termination of this Lease, whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or upon termination of Lessee's right to possession of the leased premises, Lessee shall remove articles of personal property incident to its business; "Trade Fixtures"; provided, however, that

25

Lessee shall repair any injury or damage to the leased premises which may result from such removal. If Lessee does not remove Lessee's Trade Fixtures from the leased premises prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the lease term, Landlord may, at its option, remove the same (and repair any damage occasioned thereby) and dispose thereof or deliver the same to any other place of business of Lessee or warehouse the same and Lessee shall pay the cost of such removal, repair, delivery and warehousing to Lessor on demand or Lessor may treat such Trade Fixtures as having been conveyed to Lessor with this Lease being a bill of sale, without further payment or credit by Lessor to Lessee.

                    22.2          Holding Over. Lessee shall have no right to occupy the leased premises or any portion thereof after the expiration of the Lease or after termination of the Lease or of Lessee's right to possession pursuant to Section 17.2 hereof. In the event Lessee or any party claiming by, through or under Lessee holds over, Lessor may exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity to recover possession of the leased premises, and for damages. For each and every month or partial month that Lessee or any party claiming by, through or under Lessee remains in occupancy of all or any portion of the leased premises after the expiration of the Lease or after termination of the Lease or Lessee's right to possession, Lessee shall pay, as minimum damages and not as a penalty, monthly rental at a rate equal to 150% the rate of rent payable by Lessee hereunder immediately prior to the expiration or other termination of the Lease or of Lessee's right to possession. The acceptance by Lessor of any lesser sum shall be construed as a payment on account and not in satisfaction of damages for such holding over. If the holding over occurs at the expiration of the Lease term or by reason of a termination by mutual agreement of the parties, Lessor may, as an alternative remedy, elect that such holding over shall constitute a renewal of this Lease on a month-to-month basis at a rental equal to 150% of the rate of annual fixed rent payable hereunder immediately prior to the expiration of the Lease, and upon all of the other covenants and agreements contained in this Lease.

Article 23 - INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

Article 24 - ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

                    24.1          "Environmental Condition" Defined. As used in this Lease, the phrase "Environmental Condition" shall mean: (a) the presence of any substance in soil, groundwater, surface water, or other environmental medium in excess of applicable, legally binding criteria, and includes, without limitation, air, land and water pollution, noise, vibration, and odors, or (b) any condition which affords a basis for a claim of liability under the Comprehensive Environment Response Compensation and Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA"), or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), or any claim of violation of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act ("TSCA"), or any claim of liability or of violation under any federal statute hereafter enacted dealing with the protection of the environment or with the health and safety of employees or members of the general public, or under any rule, regulation, or permit under any of the foregoing, or under any law, rule or regulation now or hereafter promulgated by the state in which the leased premises are located, or any political subdivision thereof, relating to such matters (collectively "Environmental Laws").

26

                    24.2          Compliance by Lessee. Lessee shall, at all times during the Lease term, comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to its use of the leased premises and shall not, in the use and occupancy of the leased premises, cause or contribute to any Environmental Condition on or about the leased premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee shall not, without first notifying Lessor in writing, receive, keep, maintain or use on or about the leased premises any substance in a quantity as to which a filing with a local emergency planning committee, the State Emergency Response Commission or the fire department having jurisdiction over the leased premises is required pursuant to § 311 and/or § 312 of CERCLA, as amended by the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("SARA") (which latter Act includes the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986).

                    24.3          Environmental Indemnity. Lessee will protect, indemnify and save harmless the Lessor Protected Parties (as defined in Article 6), and all of their respective agents, members, directors, officers and employees, and First Mortgagee, from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, incurred or imposed, based upon Lessee's noncompliance with any Environmental Laws or resulting from any Environmental Condition on or about the leased premises which is caused by Lessee prior to or during the Lease term, or which is contributed to by Lessee prior to or during the Lease term, but only to the extent of such contribution. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any of the parties indemnified herein by reason of Lessee's noncompliance with any Environmental Laws or any Environmental Condition on or about the leased premises which is caused by Lessee prior to or during the Lease term, Lessee will, at Lessee's expense, by counsel approved by Lessor, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended. The obligations of Lessee under this Section 24.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

                    24.4          Testing and Remedial Work. In the event that Lessee experiences a spill or release of any hazardous substance or otherwise causes an Environmental Condition or about the leased premises, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of the event or condition and shall promptly and at its sole cost and expense, take any and all steps necessary to remedy the same, complying with all provisions of applicable law.

                    27.1          No waiver by either party of any breach or default by the other party of any covenant or condition of this Lease shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the parties so waiving and any such waiver shall not constitute a waiver as to any future breach of default.

Article 28 - SEVERABILITY AND SAVINGS

                    28.1          Each covenant, term and condition of this Lease shall be severable from the remainder. If any provision shall be held illegal or unenforceable, the remainder shall be enforced according to its terms.

It is mutually agreed that Lessor may deliver a copy of such statement to any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee of Lessor, or any prospective purchaser of the leased premises, but otherwise Lessor shall treat such statements and information contained therein as confidential.

Article 34 - OPTION TO EXTEND

                              Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred which remains uncured and provided that Lessee shall be in possession of the leased property, Lessee shall have the right, exercisable by given written notice ("First Renewal Notice") thereof to Lessor at least nine (9) months but not before twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the original term of this Lease, to extend the term of this Lease for an additional term of thirty-six (36) calendar months ("First Renewal Period") upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that the annual fixed rent shall be Market Rent.

                              Market Rent for the First Renewal Period shall be determined as follows:

                                        (i)          After timely receipt by Lessor of the First Renewal Notice, Lessor and Lessee shall have a period which will end sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the original term of this Lease ("Initial Rent Determination Period") in which to agree on Market Rent for the First Renewal Period. If Lessor and Lessee agree on Market Rent for the First Renewal Period, then they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating and incorporating such agreed upon Market Rent. 

                                        (ii)          If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on Market Rent for the First Renewal Period, subject to the limitation set forth in subsection (iv) below, Lessor and Lessee shall proceed as follows:

                                                  (1)          Not later than ten (10) days after the expiration of the Initial Rent Determination Period, each party shall appoint an appraiser ("Appraiser") and notify the other party of such appointment by identifying the appointee; provided, however, that if either party fails to give notice of its designation of an Appraiser within such ten (10) day period, the appraiser designated by the other party shall act as the sole Appraiser and shall

29

determine Market Rent for the First Renewal Period. For purposes of this Lease, an "Appraiser" means a Michigan licensed MAI appraiser who (i) shall be an independent, disinterested party (i.e. the appraiser shall not be an affiliate of any party and the total fees paid to the appraiser by any party and affiliates of any party during the preceding five (5) years shall not exceed one (1%) percent of the appraiser's gross income for such period), and (ii) shall have not less than five (5) years experience in appraising properties comparable to the leased premises.

                                                  (2)          Not later than twenty (20) days after both Appraisers are appointed, the two appraisers shall determine, in accordance with standard appraisal practices and procedures and the requirement of this Lease, the Market Rent for the First Renewal Period, and their decision shall be final and binding upon the parties.

                                                  (3)          If the two Appraisers are unable to agree on Market Rent for the First Renewal Period within twenty (20) days after appointment, then the Appraisers shall inform the parties. Unless the parties shall both otherwise then direct, the appraisers shall select a third Appraiser, not later than ten (10) days after the expiration of said twenty(20) day period. If no third Appraiser is selected within such ten (10) day period, then either party may request the then president of the board of realtors for the Plymouth, Michigan, area (or any similar organization) to appoint the third appraiser. The third Appraiser shall have the qualifications set forth in subsection (ii) (1) above. Within twenty (20) days after appointment, the third appraiser shall determine Market Rent for the First Renewal Period in accordance with standard appraisal practices and procedures and the requirements of this Lease and the Market Rent shall be the average of the two closest appraisals.

                                                  (4)          Each party shall be responsible for the costs, charges and/or fees of its Appraiser and the parties shall share equally in the costs, charges and/or fees of the third Appraiser. The decision of the Appraiser(s) shall be stated and incorporated into an amendment to this Lease, which shall be executed by both parties.

                                        (iii)          The term "Market Rent" shall mean the annual amount of fixed rent that a willing, comparable, non-equity, non-expansion tenant would pay and a willing, comparable owner of an warehouse facility in Plymouth, Michigan comparable to the leased premises would accept, at arm's length, on a "net lease" basis, giving appropriate consideration to brokerage commissions, if any, length of lease term, size and location of the leased premises, and any other generally applicably terms and conditions for tenancy of industrial facilities similar to the leased premises.

                                        (iv)          The parties agree that the Market Rent for the First Renewal Period shall not be less than $1,571,096.16 per year.

                              Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred which remains uncured provided that the term hereof has been extended for the First Renewal Period and provided that Lessee shall be in possession of the leased property, Lessee shall have the right, exercisable by given written notice ("Second Renewal Notice") thereof to Lessor at least nine (9) months but not before twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the First Renewal Period, to

30

extend the term of this Lease for an additional term of twenty-four (24) calendar months ("Second Renewal Period") upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that the annual fixed rent shall be Market Rent.

                              Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period shall be determined as follows:

                                        (i)          After timely receipt by Lessor of the Second Renewal Notice, Lessor and Lessee shall have a period which will end sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the First Renewal Period ("Initial Rent Determination Period") in which to agree on Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period. If Lessor and Lessee agree on Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period, then they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating and incorporating such agreed upon Market Rent. 

                                        (ii)          If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period, subject to the limitation set forth in subsection (iv) below, Lessor and Lessee shall proceed as follows:

                                                  (1)          Not later than ten (10) days after the expiration of the Initial Rent Determination Period, each party shall appoint an appraiser ("Appraiser") and notify the other party of such appointment by identifying the appointee; provided, however, that if either party fails to give notice of its designation of an Appraiser within such ten (10) day period, the appraiser designated by the other party shall act as the sole Appraiser and shall determine Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period. For purposes of this Lease, an "Appraiser" means a Michigan licensed MAI appraiser who (i) shall be an independent, disinterested party (i.e. the appraiser shall not be an affiliate of any party and the total fees paid to the appraiser by any party and affiliates of any party during the preceding five (5) years shall not exceed one (1%) percent of the appraiser's gross income for such period), and (ii) shall have not less than five (5) years experience in appraising properties comparable to the leased premises.

                                                  (2)          Not later than twenty (20) days after both Appraisers are appointed, the two appraisers shall determine, in accordance with standard appraisal practices and procedures and the requirement of this Lease, the Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period, and their decision shall be final and binding upon the parties.

                                                  (3)          If the two Appraisers are unable to agree on Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period within twenty (20) days after appointment, then the Appraisers shall inform the parties. Unless the parties shall both otherwise then direct, the appraisers shall select a third Appraiser, not later than ten (10) days after the expiration of said twenty(20) day period. If no third Appraiser is selected within such ten (10) day period, then either party may request the then president of the board of realtors for the Plymouth, Michigan, area (or any similar organization) to appoint the third appraiser. The third Appraiser shall have the qualifications set forth in subsection (ii) (1) above. Within twenty (20) days after appointment, the third appraiser shall determine Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period in

31

accordance with standard appraisal practices and procedures and the requirements of this Lease and the Market Rent shall be the average of the two closest appraisals.

                                                  (4)          Each party shall be responsible for the costs, charges and/or fees of its Appraiser and the parties shall share equally in the costs, charges and/or fees of the third Appraiser. The decision of the Appraiser(s) shall be stated and incorporated into an amendment to this Lease, which shall be executed by both parties.

                                        (iii)          The term "Market Rent" shall mean the annual amount of fixed rent that a willing, comparable, non-equity, non-expansion tenant would pay and a willing, comparable owner of an warehouse facility in Plymouth, Michigan comparable to the leased premises would accept, at arm's length, on a "net lease" basis, giving appropriate consideration to brokerage commissions, if any, length of lease term, size and location of the leased premises, and any other generally applicably terms and conditions for tenancy of industrial facilities similar to the leased premises.

                                        (iv)          The parties agree that the Market Rent for the Second Renewal Period shall not be less than the Market Rent for the First Renewal Period.

                  Change in Employment Status/Transfers.
 

      

       (a)       A Participant whose employment status changes so that he no longer satisfies the definition of Eligible Employee, but who remains an Employee (such as a Participant who transfers employment to an Affiliated Employer that is not a Participating Employer), shall become a limited Participant hereunder as of the date of the change in employment status.  Such limited Participant shall cease to share in contributions hereunder as of the date of such change in employment status, but he shall continue to accrue Years of Service for Vesting purposes while employed at an Affiliated Employer.  If such limited Participant does not again become an Eligible Employee prior to Retirement or Termination of Employment, the Vested Accounts of the limited Participant, if any, shall be paid as provided in Article VII.

      (b)       A limited Participant who again has a change in employment status, and becomes an Eligible Employee (such as a limited Participant who transfers employment from an Affiliated Employer that is not a Participating Employer to a Participating Employer) shall become a full Participant as of such change in employment status.  Thereafter, such Participant shall be entitled to accrue benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan as in effect as of the subsequent date of change in employment status.  In no event, however, shall such a Participant receive a greater benefit under the Plan than that which the Participant would have received had the Participant not had a change in employment status.

Such Employee shall accrue and be credited with Years of Service for Vesting purposes for his employment with the Affiliated Employer.

      Section 3.05.      Completion of Forms by Participants and Beneficiaries.  Each Participant and any beneficiary eligible to receive, or claiming a right to receive, any benefits under the Plan shall complete such Applicable Form and furnish such proofs and information as may be required at any time by the Trustee or the Administrator.

      CONTRIBUTIONS

      Section 4.01.      Contributions.  Contributions shall be made to the Plan in accordance with this Article and subject to the limitations under Article V.

       

      

      	
                   
 	
                  Section 4.02.
 	
                  Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions.
 

      

       (a)       A Participant who is an Eligible Employee may make Pre-Tax Contributions as provided in this Section.  An Eligible Employee may enter into a salary reduction agreement with his Participating Employer agreeing to contribute Pre-Tax Contributions to the Plan of a specified whole percentage, from one percent (1%) to one hundred percent (100%) of his Plan Compensation each pay period; provided, however, Pre-Tax Contributions made on behalf of a Participant under the Plan for any calendar year shall not exceed the applicable dollar limit provided under Code Section 402(g), except to the extent permitted under Section 4.02(b) and Code Section 414(v), if applicable, for Catch-Up Contributions described in paragraph (b).  If an Eligible Employee who becomes an Eligible Employee on or after April 1, 2007 fails to make a Pre-Tax
      Contribution election within the first forty-five (45) days of becoming an Eligible 

       

      
      

      - 21 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      Employee, such Eligible Employee shall be deemed to have elected to contribute four percent (4%) of his Plan Compensation per pay period to the Plan, effective with the first payroll period beginning at least sixty (60) days after the Eligible Employee becomes a Participant.  If an Eligible Employee who becomes an Eligible Employee prior to April 1, 2007 fails to make a Pre-Tax Contribution election within the first forty-five (45) days of becoming an Eligible Employee, such Eligible Employee shall be deemed to have elected to contribute two percent (2%) of his Plan Compensation per pay period to the Plan, effective with the first payroll period beginning at least sixty (60) days after the Eligible Employee becomes a Participant.  Such election shall remain in effect until the Eligible Employee affirmatively elects a different percentage or elects not to make Pre-Tax Contributions.

      (b)       Employees who are eligible to make Pre-Tax Contributions under the Plan and who have attained age fifty (50) before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code Section 414(v).  Such Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415.  The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of the making of such Catch-Up Contributions.  Such Catch-Up Contributions shall not be treated as Pre-Tax Contributions for purposes of calculating a Participant's Matching Contributions
under Section 4.03.

      (c)       Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions shall reduce the cash compensation otherwise payable to a Participant and shall be paid in cash to the Trustee by the 

       

      
      

      - 22 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      Participating Employer on a basis consistent with its payroll practices within a reasonable period after being withheld from the cash compensation of a Participant.

      (d)       A Participant may elect to make or change an election to make Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions at any time on the Applicable Form within such period before the effective date of the change as the Administrator may establish.  A Participant may suspend his Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions at any time on an Applicable Form submitted to the Administrator or its designee within such period before the effective date of the suspension as the Administrator may establish.  Except as provided in Section 4.02(a) or Section 8.03(c)(3), the election of a Participant to make, change, or suspend Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions shall remain continuously in effect until changed by the Participant.

      (e)       An election to make Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions shall not be valid with respect to any period during which the Participant is not an Eligible Employee.  No election to make, change, or discontinue Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions shall be given retroactive effect.

      (f)        Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions made on behalf of a Participant for a Plan Year shall be allocated to the Pre-Tax Contribution Account of the Participant effective as of the date established by the Administrator but not later than the last day of the Plan Year.

      (g)       The Administrator may establish additional nondiscriminatory rules and procedures governing the manner and timing of elections by Employees to make, change, or discontinue Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions.  In no event will such rules and

      procedures prohibit Employees from making or changing Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contribution less frequently than one time per Plan Year.

       

      

      	
                   
 	
                  Section 4.03.
 	
                  Matching Contributions.
 

      

       (a)       Unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise before the beginning of a Plan Year, each Participating Employer shall contribute for the Plan Year on behalf of each Participant a Matching Contribution equal to sixty percent (60%) of the first five percent (5%) of the Pre-Tax Contributions of the Participant each payroll period.  Matching Contributions made on behalf of a Participant for a Plan Year shall be allocated to his Matching Account as of each payroll period.  Provided, however, for each Participant whose Pre-Tax Contributions under Section 4.02(a) meet the applicable dollar limit provided under Code Section 402(g) for the Plan Year, the Participating Employer shall make a year-end reconciliation or "true-up" Matching Contribution, effective as of the last day of the Plan Year, to assure each eligible Participant
      receives a Matching Contribution for the Plan Year that is equal to the lesser of (i) sixty percent (60%) of the Participant's actual Pre-Tax Contributions (excluding any Catch-Up Contributions) for the Plan Year, or (ii) sixty percent (60%) of the Participant's actual Pre-Tax Contributions (excluding any Catch-Up Contributions) for the Plan Year, up to five percent (5%) of the Participant's Plan Compensation for that portion of the Plan Year in which the Participant was eligible to participate in the Plan.  Provided further, however, that no such "true-up" contributions shall be made if making such contributions would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 5.05.  Any such reconciliation, or "true-up," shall be made once annually and paid in accordance with Section 4.07(a), and resulting Matching Contributions shall be made to only to Participants with Account balances as of the last day of the Plan Year for which the year-end 

       

      
      

      - 24 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      reconciliation Matching Contributions are made.  The Plan Administrator may establish reasonable administrative procedures designed to implement this provision.

      (b)       For each Plan Year, the Board of Directors shall determine the amount of additional Matching Contributions, if any, that shall be made.  Contributions made pursuant to this paragraph for a Plan Year shall be allocated among the Matching Accounts of the Participants as of the last day of the Plan Year in proportion to the Matching Contributions received under paragraph (a) for the Plan Year.

      (c)       If a Participant is employed by more than one (1) Participating Employer during a Plan Year, the portion of the total Matching Contribution of the Participant for the Plan Year that is paid by each Participating Employer shall be based on the percentage of the Pre-Tax Contributions of the Participant for the Plan Year paid by the Participating Employer.

      Section 4.04.      Employer Qualified Nonelective Contributions (QNECs).  For each Plan Year, the Board of Directors shall determine the amount of Qualified Nonelective Contributions, if any, that each Participating Employer shall contribute.  Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated among the Qualified Nonelective Contribution Accounts of Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees as of the last day of the Plan Year.  For each such Plan Year, the Board of Directors shall determine whether the Qualified Nonelective Contributions are allocated (i) as a uniform percentage of Compensation, as defined in Section 5.02(d), for the Plan Year, or (ii) first to the eligible Participant with the lowest Compensation, as defined in Section 5.02(d) for the Plan Year,
      then to the eligible Participant with the next lowest Compensation for the Plan Year, etc. until one of the tests in Section 5.04(a) is satisfied, with the allocation to each eligible Participant limited to the amount permitted under Code Section 415.  If Qualified Nonelective Contributions are allocated as described in (ii) 

       

      
      

      - 25 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      above, any individual Participant's Qualified Nonelective Contribution, determined as a percent of Compensation may not exceed the greater of five percent (5%) or two times the "applicable contribution rate."  The "applicable contribution rate" equals the lowest Qualified Nonelective Contribution of any eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee in the group of eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees that consists of half of all eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year.

      Section 4.05.      Qualified Matching Contributions (QMACs).  For each Plan Year, the Board of Directors shall determine the amount of Qualified Matching Contributions, if any, that each Participating Employer shall contribute.  Qualified Matching Contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated among the Qualified Matching Contribution Accounts of Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees as of the last day of the Plan Year in proportion to the Matching Contributions of each eligible Participant.  In no event will the Qualified Matching Contributions exceed the greatest of (i) five percent (5%) of the Participant's Compensation, (ii) the Participant's Pre-Tax Contribution, or (iii) two times the "representative matching rate."  The "representative matching rate" equals the lowest
      "matching rate" for any eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee among a group of Non-Highly Compensated Employees that consists of half of all eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees in the Plan for the Plan Year who make Pre-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year.  The "matching rate" for a Participant generally is the Matching Contributions made for such Participant divided by the Participant's Pre-Tax Contributions for the year.  If the matching rate is not the same for all levels of Pre-Tax Contributions for a Participant, the Participant's matching rate is determined assuming that a Participant's Pre-Tax Contributions are equal to six percent (6%) of Compensation.

       (a)       The Employer Contributions under Sections 4.03, 4.04, and 4.05 shall be made effective as of the last day of the Plan Year and shall actually be paid within such time period as permitted by law.

      (b)       If a Participating Employer is unable to make any contribution provided under Sections 4.03, 4.04, or 4.05, any other Participating Employer may make such contributions on behalf of such Participating Employer, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

      (c)       The total contributions of a Participating Employer for any Plan Year under the Plan shall not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction from the income of the Participating Employer for purposes of income tax under the Code, and any such contributions are conditioned on such deductibility.

      Section 4.08.      Expenses of Plan.  All reasonable expenses of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Trustee and shall be charged against and paid from the Trust Fund, unless a Participating Employer pays such expenses.

      Section 4.09.      Rollover Contributions.  At any time during a Plan Year, an Eligible Employee may contribute a Rollover Contribution to the Plan, provided that the Administrator, in its discretion, determines that the contribution satisfies all applicable requirements of the Code.  The Plan shall accept direct rollovers of eligible rollover distributions from (i) a qualified

      plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a), including after-tax employee contributions; (ii) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), excluding after-tax employee contributions; and (iii) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.  The Plan shall accept a Participant contribution of an eligible rollover distribution from (i) a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a), (ii) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), and (iii) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.  The Plan shall accept a Participant rollover contribution of the
      portion of a distribution from an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or 408(b) that is eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in gross income.  Before a Rollover Contribution is made, the Eligible Employee shall direct the investment of the Rollover Contribution by designating the Fund or Funds in which he wishes his Rollover Contribution to be invested.  If a Participant fails to direct the investment of his Rollover Contribution, the Participant shall be deemed to have directed that his Rollover Contribution be invested in the default Fund or Funds designated by the Administrator from time to time.  A Rollover Contribution shall be allocated to the Rollover Account of the Eligible Employee as of the date of the contribution.

                  Transfer of Contributions from the Irwin Mortgage Plan to this Plan.  
 

      

       (a)       For any Transferred Employee, the Trustee shall accept cash or other property (which is not a collectible within the meaning of Code Section 408(m)) acceptable to the Trustee, representing the transfer of amounts in the Transferred Employee's accounts in the Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan.  Such amounts shall be transferred

      automatically to this Plan and credited in accordance with Section 2.01(a) to the appropriate Accounts of the Participant within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the Transferred Employee's participation in this Plan, except as provided in paragraph (b).

      (b)       In the event that the Transferred Employee is entitled to a final profit sharing contribution under Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan, the Transferred Employee's accounts in the Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan shall not be transferred to this Plan until that final profit sharing contribution has been made to the Transferred Employee's accounts in the Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan.

      Section 4.11.      Transfer of Contributions from this Plan to the Irwin Mortgage Plan.  To the extent any former Eligible Employee transfers employment to Irwin Mortgage Corporation or any participating employer in the Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan (as defined by the terms of such plan) and becomes a participant in the Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan, this Plan shall transfer automatically that former Eligible Employee's accounts in this Plan to the Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan.  Such transfer shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date that the former Eligible Employee commences participation in the Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan.

      LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER ADDITIONS

      Section 5.01.      Applicability of Article.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, contributions to the Plan and additions to Accounts of Participants shall be limited as provided in Code Sections 401(k), 401(m), and 415 as provided in this Article.

      Section 5.02.      Definitions.  As used in this Article, the following terms, when capitalized, shall have the following meanings, unless otherwise expressly provided:

      (a)       "Allocable Income" means the sum of the allocable gains or loss for the year or partial year, determined in accordance with Code Section 401(k), 401(m), or 402(g), and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  For Plan Years after December 31, 2005 and before December 31, 2007, Allocable Income, determined in accordance with Code Section 401(k) or 401(m), shall include gains or losses for the period from the end of the year to the date of the distribution or correction but only to the extent the excess amounts are or will be credited with gains or losses for the period.

      (b)       "Average Contribution Percentage" means the average (expressed as a percentage to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) of the Contribution Percentages of the Eligible Participants in a group.

      (c)       "Average Deferral Percentage" means the average (expressed as a percentage to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) of the Deferral Percentages of the Eligible Participants in a group.

      (d)       "Compensation" means, for purposes of Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m), compensation as defined in Code Section 414(s); provided, however, to the extent permitted by the Code, Compensation for any period during which an individual is not a Participant may be disregarded.  Elective deferrals described in Code Section 414(s)(2) shall be included in Compensation unless the Company elects to exclude such elective deferrals.  In general, Code Section 414(s) defines compensation as having the meaning given such term by Section 5.06(g).  In general, elective deferrals described in Code Section 414(s)(2) include any amount which is contributed by an Affiliated Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement and which is not 

       

      
      

      - 30 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      includible in the gross income of an Employee under Code Section 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b).

      (e)       "Contribution Percentage" means the ratio (expressed as a percentage to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) of the Matching Contributions (excluding Matching Contributions that are forfeited because the contribution to which they relate are Excess Deferral Amounts, Excess Contributions, or Excess Aggregate Contributions) of an Eligible Participant for the Plan Year to the extent not used to satisfy one (1) of the tests under Section 5.04(a) to the Compensation of the Participant for the Plan Year.  As may be necessary to satisfy one (1) of the tests under Section 5.05(a), and in the sole discretion of the Administrator, the Pre-Tax Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions of a Participant which are not necessary to meet one (1) of the tests under Section 5.04(a) for the Plan Year may be included in the
      determination of such Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year. The Contribution Percentage for Participants shall be determined in accordance with the following:

      (1)       The Contribution Percentage for any Highly Compensated Participant for the Plan Year who is eligible to make employee contributions, or to receive matching contributions, qualified nonelective contributions, or Elective Deferrals allocated to his accounts under two (2) or more plans described in Code Section 401(a) or arrangements described in Code Section 401(m), and that are maintained by an Affiliated Employer, shall be determined as if all such contributions and deferrals were made under each plan.  If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two (2) or more such plans that have different plan years, then all such contributions made during the Plan Year being tested under all such plans shall be aggregated, without regard to the plan years of the other 

       

      
      

      - 31 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      plans.  For Plan Years beginning before the January 1, 2006, all such plans ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single plan.

      (2)       In the event that the Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b) only if aggregated with one (1) or more other plans, or if one (1) or more other plans satisfy the requirements of Code Section 410(b) only if aggregated with the Plan, the Contribution Percentages of Eligible Participants shall be determined as if all such plans were a single plan.

      (f)        "Current Plan Year" means the Plan Year for which tests given in Section 5.04 or 5.05 are being performed.

      (g)       "Deferral Percentage" means for an Eligible Participant the ratio (expressed as a percentage to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent) of Pre-Tax Contributions (excluding Pre-Tax Contributions treated as Catch-Up Contributions because they exceed a statutory limit or employer provided limit but including Excess Deferrals of Highly Compensated Employees) and Qualified Nonelective Contributions of the Participant for the Plan Year to the Compensation of the Eligible Participant for the Plan Year.  The Deferral Percentage for Participants shall be determined in accordance with the following:

      (1)       The Deferral Percentage for any Highly Compensated Participant for the Plan Year who is eligible to make Elective Deferrals, or to receive matching contributions or qualified nonelective contributions allocated to his accounts under two (2) or more plans described in Code Section 401(a) or arrangements described in Code Section 401(k), and that are maintained by an Affiliated Employer, shall be determined as if all such contributions and deferrals were made under each plan.  If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two (2) or more such plans that have different 

       

      
      

      - 32 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      plan years, then all such contributions made during the Plan Year being tested under all such plans shall be aggregated, without regard to the plan years of the other plans.  For Plan Years beginning before the January 1, 2006, all such plans ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single plan.

      (2)       In the event that the Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b) only if aggregated with one (1) or more other plans, or if one (1) or more other plans satisfy the requirements of Code Section 410(b) only if aggregated with the Plan, the Deferral Percentages of Eligible Participants shall be determined as if all such plans were a single plan.

      (h)       "Elective Deferrals" means elective deferrals as defined by Code Section 402(g)(3).

      (i)        "Eligible Participant" means for a Plan Year any Eligible Employee who is eligible, in accordance with Code Section 401(k), to make Pre-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year; provided, however, if so elected by the Administrator for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1998, any Non-Highly Compensated Employee who has not attained age twenty-one (21) or has not completed one (1) Year of Service shall not be an "Eligible Participant" for purposes of determining the Average Deferral Percentage and/or Average Contribution Percentage.

      (j)        "Excess Aggregate Contributions" means the total amount of Matching Contributions with respect to Highly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year which, if reduced, would result in the Plan satisfying one (1) of the tests under Section 5.05(a).  The Excess Aggregate Contributions are determined for the group of Highly Compensated Participants under a leveling method, starting with the Participant with the highest Contribution 

       

      
      

      - 33 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      Percentage.  The first amount of excess attributable to that Participant is the amount of said Matching Contributions which, if reduced, would result in the Contribution Percentage of the Participant being equal to the greater of (i) the Contribution Percentage of the Participant with the next highest Contribution Percentage, or (ii) the Contribution Percentage for the Participant which would result in the Plan satisfying one (1) of the tests under Section 5.05(a).  If one (1) of the tests under Section 5.05(a) is not then satisfied, the same process is repeated with the Highly Compensated Participant with the next highest Contribution Percentages until one (1) of such tests is satisfied.  The total amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions is equal to the total of such reductions in Matching Contributions of all affected Participants after application of this Section.

      (k)       "Excess Contributions" means the total amount of Pre-Tax Contributions with respect to Highly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year which, if reduced, would result in the Plan satisfying one (1) of the tests under Section 5.04(a).  Excess Contributions are determined for the group of Participants who are Highly Compensated Participants under a leveling method, starting with the Participant with the highest Deferral Percentage.  The first amount of excess attributable to that Participant is the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions which, if reduced, would result in the Deferral Percentage of the Participant being equal to the greater of (i) the Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Participant with the next highest Deferral Percentage or (ii) the Deferral Percentage which would result in the Plan satisfying one
      (1) of the tests under Section 5.04(a).  If one (1) of the tests under Section 5.04(a) is not then satisfied, the same process is repeated with the Highly Compensated Participant with the next highest Deferral Percentage until one (1) of such tests is satisfied.  The total amount of Excess Contributions is 

       

      
      

      - 34 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      equal to the total of such reductions in Pre-Tax Contributions of all affected Participants after application of this Section.

      (l)        "Excess Deferral Amount" means the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions, for a calendar year that the Participant timely claims pursuant to the following procedure:

      (1)       A Participant may submit a claim on the Applicable Form to the Administrator not later than the March 1 following the close of the calendar year for which the claim for an Excess Deferral Amount is made, specifying the Excess Deferral Amount claimed by the Participant for the preceding calendar year for the Plan.

      (2)       Said claim shall be accompanied by the written statement of such Participant that if such amounts are not distributed, such claimed Excess Deferral Amount, when added to amounts deferred under other plans, contracts, or arrangements described in Code Sections 401(k), 403(b), or 408(k), exceeds the limit imposed on the Participant by Code Section 402(g) (including, if applicable, the limitation on Catch-Up Contributions under Code Section 414(v)) for the calendar year in which the deferral occurred.

      (m)      "Highly Compensated Participant" means any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee and who is an "eligible employee" within the meaning of Code Section 401(k) or 401(m), as the case may be.

      (n)       "Non-Highly Compensated Participant" means any Participant who is not a Highly Compensated Participant and who is an "eligible employee" within the meaning of Code Section 401(k) or 401(m), as the case may be.

      (o)       "Prior Plan Year" means the Plan Year immediately preceding the Current Plan Year.

      (p)       "Qualified Nonelective Contributions" means, for a Participant for a Plan Year, the amount of Qualified Nonelective Contributions designated under Section 4.04(b); provided, however, Matching Contributions may be treated as Qualified Nonelective Contributions to the extent used to satisfy one (1) of the tests under Section 5.04.

      Section 5.03.      Distribution of Excess Deferral Amounts.  Excess Deferral Amounts, adjusted for Allocable Income, may be distributed in the discretion of the Administrator not later than each April 15 to Participants who claim such Excess Deferral Amounts for the preceding calendar year.

      Section 5.04.      Limits on Contributions Under Code Section 401(k) and Distribution of Excess Contributions.  

      (a)       The Plan shall be administered to satisfy the test under either paragraph (1) or paragraph (2) below in each Plan Year:

      (1)       The Average Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Participants for the Current Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Deferral Percentage for the group of Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the Current Plan Year multiplied by one and twenty-five one-hundredths (1.25).

      (2)       The Average Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Participants for the Current Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Deferral Percentage for the group of Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the Current Plan Year multiplied by two (2.0), provided the Average Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Participants does not exceed the Average Deferral Percentage for the group of Non-Highly Compensated Participants by (i) more than two (2) percentage points, or (ii) such lesser amount as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe to 

       

      
      

      - 36 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      prevent the multiple use of this alternative limitation with respect to any Highly Compensated Participant.

      (b)       In the event there are Excess Contributions for a Plan Year, the Excess Contributions, plus Allocable Income, shall be distributed to the affected Participants no later than the last day of the succeeding Plan Year.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no Matching Contributions shall be made with respect to any such Excess Contributions.  The Excess Contributions for a Plan Year shall be distributed to the group of Highly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year under a leveling method, starting with the Participant with the highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year.  

      (1)       The first amount of excess distributed to that Participant is the amount of said Pre-Tax Contributions which, if reduced, would result in the dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions of the Participant being equal to the greater of:

      (A)      the dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions of the Participant with the next highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions, or

      (B)      the dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions for the Participant less the total of the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year.  

      (2)       If the total of the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year are not distributed under the first step, the same process is repeated with the Highly Compensated Participant with the next highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions until all of the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year are distributed.

      (c)       The Administrator may adjust the Pre-Tax Contributions of any Highly Compensated Participant to the extent it anticipates that such adjustment is necessary to satisfy the test under Section 5.04(a).

      (d)       To the extent a Highly Compensated Employee has not reached the Catch-Up Contribution limit, Excess Contributions allocated to such Highly Compensated Employee are Catch-Up Contributions and will not be treated as Excess Contributions.

      Section 5.05.      Limits on Contributions under Code Section 401(m) and the Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions.  

      (a)       The Plan shall be administered to satisfy the test under either paragraph (1) or paragraph (2) below in each Plan Year:

      (1)       The Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Participants for the Current Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the Current Plan Year multiplied by one and twenty-five one-hundredths (1.25).

      (2)       The Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Participants for the Current Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the Current Plan Year multiplied by two (2.0), provided that the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Participants does not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Non-Highly Compensated Participants by (i) more than two (2) percentage points, or (ii) such lesser amount as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe to prevent the multiple use of this alternative limitation with respect to any Highly Compensated Participant.

      (b)       In the event there are Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year, such Excess Aggregate Contributions, plus Allocable Income, shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or distributed to the affected Participants no later than the last day of the succeeding Plan Year.  

       

      
      

      - 38 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      The Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year shall be forfeited if forfeitable, or distributed to the group of Highly Compensated Participants under a leveling method, starting with the Participant with the highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions for the Plan Year.

      (1)       The first amount of excess distributed to that Participant is the amount of said Matching Contributions which, if reduced, would result in the dollar amount of Matching Contributions of the Participant being equal to the greater of:

      (A)      the dollar amount of Matching Contributions of the Participant with the next highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions, or

      (B)      the dollar amount of Matching Contributions of the Participant less all of the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year.

      (2)       If the total of the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year are not distributed under the first step, the same process is repeated with the Highly Compensated Participant with the next highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions until the total of the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year are distributed.

      (c)       The determination of the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year shall be made after application of the provisions of Section 5.04 for the Plan Year.

      (d)       Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be applied pursuant to Section 10.02 except they cannot be used as a Qualified Nonelective Contribution, Qualified Matching Contribution, or an Elective Deferral.

      Section 5.06.      Limitation Under Code Section 415.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the following limitations shall apply:

       

      
      

      - 39 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      (a)       Except to the extent permitted under Section 4.02(b) and Code Section 414(v), if applicable, the annual addition that may be contributed or allocated to a Participant's Account under the Plan for any limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of:

      (1)       Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000), as increased by the Cost of Living Adjustment for the year, pursuant to Code Section 415(d); or

      (2)       one hundred percent (100%) of the "compensation," as defined in paragraph (g), of such Participant received from an Affiliated Employer during the Plan Year.

      The compensation limit referred to in Section 5.06(a)(2) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code Section 401(h) or Code Section 419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an annual addition.

      (b)       The Plan shall be administered so as to comply with the limitations of Code Section 415.  Notwithstanding anything in Article IV, the Contributions on behalf of any Participant shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with such limitations.

      (c)       Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a) to the contrary, to the extent permitted under Code Section 415, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, the Tax Reform Act of 1986, or the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988, the annual additions and annual benefit of a Participant shall be adjusted so as to produce the maximum annual benefit and maximum annual additions for such Participant under Code Section 415.

      (d)       For purposes of this Section and subject to Code Section 415(h), all defined benefit plans of an Affiliated Employer, whether or not terminated, are to be treated as a single defined benefit plan, and all defined contribution plans of an Affiliated Employer are to be 

       

      
      

      - 40 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      treated as a single defined contribution plan, and all Affiliated Employers shall be considered as a single employer.

      (e)       If the annual addition for a Participant under the Plan, determined without regard to the limitation of paragraph (a), would have been greater than the annual addition for such Participant as limited by paragraph (a), then the excess, if due to a reasonable error in estimating compensation or such other circumstances as found by the Secretary of the Treasury to justify application of this paragraph, shall be reduced, to the extent necessary to satisfy such limitation by distributing to the Participant any Pre-Tax Contributions of the Participant for the Plan Year, as adjusted for any gains or losses allocated thereto.  Provided, however, if such reallocations would result in the annual addition for all eligible Participants exceeding the limitations of paragraph (a), the excess shall be held unallocated in a suspense account
      and used to reduce Participating Employer Contributions in subsequent Plan Years.

      (f)        For purposes of this Section, "annual addition" means the annual addition as defined in Code Section 415(c) and as modified in Code Section 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2).  In general, Code Section 415(c) defines the annual addition as the sum of the following amounts credited to a Participant's accounts for the limitation year under this Plan and any other plan maintained by an Affiliated Employer:

      

      	
                   
 	
                  (1)
 	
                  employer contributions;
 

      

      

      	
                   
 	
                  (2)
 	
                  employee contributions; and
 

      

      

      	
                   
 	
                  (3)
 	
                  forfeitures.
 

      

      Excess Aggregate Contributions and Excess Contributions shall be treated as annual additions under the Plan even if distributed.  Amounts allocated, after March 31, 1984, to an individual medical account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), which is part of a pension or annuity plan

      maintained by an Affiliated Employer are treated as annual additions to a defined contribution plan.  Also, amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending after such date, which are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits, allocated to the separate account of a key employee, as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3), under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e), maintained by an Affiliated Employer are treated as annual additions to a defined contribution plan.

      (g)       For purposes of this Section, "compensation" means compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3).  In general, Code Section 415(c)(3) defines compensation as all of a Participant's wages as defined in Code Section 3401(a) for the purposes of income tax withholding at the source but determined without regard to any rules that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code Section 3401(a)(2)); provided, however, compensation shall also include the amount of any elective deferrals, as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3), and any amount contributed or deferred by the employer at election of the Employee and which is not includible in the gross income of the Employee by reason of Code Section 125, 132(f)(4),
      or 457.  For purposes of applying the limitations of this Section, compensation for a limitation year is the compensation actually paid or includable in gross income during such limitation year; provided, however, amounts earned during that limitation year but paid after the limitation year solely because of the timing of pay periods and pay dates shall be included if the amounts are paid during the first few weeks of the next limitation year, the amounts are included on a uniform and consistent basis with respect to all similarly situated Employees, and no such compensation is included in more than one limitation year.

      Payments made within two and one-half (2-1/2) months after severance from employment will be compensation if they are payments that, absent a severance from employment, would have been paid to the Participant while the Participant continued in employment with the Employer and are:

      (1)       regular compensation for services during the Participant's regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Participant's regular work hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, and the compensation would have been paid to the Participant prior to a severance from employment if the Participant had continued employment with the Employer; or

      (2)       payments for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave, but only if the Participant would have been able to use the leave if employment had continued; or

      (3)       payments pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payments would have been paid to the Participant at the same time if the Participant had continued employment with the Employer and only to the extent that the payment is includible in the Participant's gross income.

      Any payments not described above are not considered compensation if paid after severance from employment, even if they are paid within two and one-half (2-1/2) months following severance from employment, except for payments to the individual who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of qualified military service (within the meaning of Code Section 414(u)(1)) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service.

      In no event will the compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining allocations for any Plan Year exceed the applicable limit established by Code Section 401(a)(17) as of the first day of the Plan Year, as increased for the Cost of Living Adjustment ($225,000 for 2007 and $230,000 for 2008).  The Cost of Living Adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to compensation for the Plan Year that begins with or within such calendar year.

      Section 5.07.      Priority of Limitations.  The provisions of Sections 5.03, 5.04, 5.05, and 5.06 shall be applied in the following order:  (i) Section 5.03; (ii) Section 5.04; (iii) Section 5.05; and (iv) Section 5.06.

      ACCOUNTING

      Section 6.01.      Participant Accounts.  The Administrator shall establish and maintain adequate records to reflect the Accounts of each Participant and beneficiary.  Credits and charges shall be made to such Accounts pursuant to the Plan to reflect additions, distributions, and withdrawals and the following provisions of this Article to reflect gains or losses.  Each Participant shall have a separate Pre-Tax Contribution Account, Matching Account, Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account, Qualified Matching Contribution Account, Rollover Account, Profit Sharing Match Transfer Account, and After-Tax Contribution Account.  The maintenance of individual accounts is for accounting purposes only, and a segregation of Plan assets to each Account shall not be required.

      the Trust Fund or any separate Fund, as the Trustee deems appropriate.  Based on such valuation, the Administrator shall determine the value of the Accounts of each Participant.

      (b)       The value of an Account as of any date shall be the value of the Account as of the most recent Valuation Date after all adjustments and allocations as of such Valuation Date, increased by the amount of any Contributions allocated to the Account after such Valuation Date and reduced by the amount of any payments or withdrawals made from the Account after such Valuation Date.

      BENEFITS

      Section 7.01.      Retirement and Termination Benefits.  If a Participant Retires or Terminates Employment for a reason other than death, he is entitled to receive his Vested Accounts as provided in Section 7.02.

       (a)       Subject to Section 7.08, if the present value of the Vested Accounts, excluding any Rollover Account, of a Participant at the time of distribution does not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), his Vested Accounts shall be paid to him in a lump sum as soon as administratively possible on or after his Retirement date or Termination of Employment; provided, however, that, effective for distributions made on or after March 28, 2005, as required by and consistent with Code Section 401(a)(31)(B), regulations issued thereunder, and 29 CFR 2550.404a-2, if the present value of the Participant's Vested Accounts, including any Rollover Accounts, exceeds One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), but does not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), such Vested Accounts shall be transferred in a lump sum payment to an individual retirement plan under
      Code Section 408 of a trustee or issuer selected by the Company.

      (b)       If the present value of the Vested Accounts, excluding any Rollover Account, of a Participant at the time of distribution exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), his Vested Accounts shall be distributed, as elected by the Participant on the Applicable Form, either (i) in a lump sum payment, (ii) in systematic monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual installments over a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Participant, or (iii) in partial payments, as elected by the Participant.  If a Participant elects for his Vested Accounts to be distributed in installments, the amount distributed each Plan Year shall be the value of the Vested Accounts of the Participant as of the end of the preceding Plan Year, divided by the number of remaining years over which installments shall be paid, and installments paid
      during any Plan Year shall be substantially equal in amount.  Distributions pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be made or shall begin as of the following dates:

      (1)       If a Participant Terminates Employment or Retires before his Normal Retirement Date, distribution of his Vested Accounts shall be made or shall begin as soon as administratively possible on or after his Normal Retirement Date, unless the Participant elects on an Applicable Form for distribution of his Vested Accounts to begin as of an earlier date on or following his Termination of Employment or Retirement date, in which case distribution of his Vested Accounts shall begin pursuant to his election.

      (2)       If a Participant Retires on or after his Normal Retirement Date, distribution of his Vested Accounts shall begin as soon as administratively possible on or after his Retirement date, unless the Participant elects on an Applicable Form to delay distribution of his Vested Accounts, in which case distribution of his Vested Accounts shall be delayed in accordance with his election, subject to the requirements of Section 7.05.

      (3)       If a Participant Terminates Employment or Retires before his Normal Retirement Date, he shall notify the Administrator of the date as of which he wishes for distribution of his Vested Accounts to begin pursuant to paragraph (1) above.  Such notice shall be given to the Administrator within sixty (60) days before the designated distribution date.  After receipt of the notice from the Participant and at least thirty (30) days before the distribution date designated by the Participant, the Administrator shall provide the Participant with a description of the material features of, and an explanation of the relative values of, the optional forms of benefit under the Plan and the right of the Participant to defer receipt of the distribution.  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) above, distribution of
      the Vested Accounts of a Participant shall not begin before his Normal Retirement Date, unless the Participant elects an earlier distribution date pursuant to paragraph (1), which election must be made on the Applicable Form after receipt of the notice from the Administrator described in the preceding sentence and within one-hundred-eighty (180) days before the designated distribution date.

      (c)       Notwithstanding the above, if a Participant elects to receive installment payments following his Termination of Employment or Retirement, he may subsequently:

      (1)       elect to change the frequency or dollar amount of his remaining installment payments effective as soon as administratively feasible following receipt of his election on the Applicable Form by the Administrator; provided, however, a Participant may make only one election under this paragraph (1) in any Plan Year; or

      (2)       elect to receive his remaining Vested Account balance in a lump sum payment as soon as administratively possible following receipt of his election on the Applicable Form by the Administrator.

      (d)       If the distribution of an Account to the Participant under paragraph (a) or (b) is less than his entire Account, and it occurs before the Account is one hundred percent (100%) Vested, then until the Participant incurs a five (5) year Break in Service, the Vested portion of the Account shall be the amount ("X") determined by the formula:  X=P(AB+(RxD))-(RxD), where P is the Vested percentage at any relevant time; AB is the balance of the Account at the relevant time (which is the time, under the Plan, at which the Vested percentage of the Account cannot increase); D is the amount of the distribution; R is the ratio of the balance of the Account at the relevant time over the balance of the Account after the distribution.

      (e)       A Participant's Pre-Tax Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions, and earnings attributable to these contributions shall be distributed on account of the Participant's severance from employment.  However, such a distribution shall be subject to the other provisions of the Plan regarding distributions, other than provisions that require a separation from service before such amounts may be distributed.

      (f)        Distributions payable as of any date shall be made on or as soon as administratively feasible after that date.

       (a)       The primary beneficiary of a married Participant shall be his spouse, unless he designates a different primary beneficiary under paragraph (b).

      (b)       Each Participant may designate on the Applicable Form one (1) or more primary and contingent beneficiaries to receive any death benefits payable under the Plan on his death.  Each such designation may be revoked, amended, or changed by the Participant by notice in writing on the Applicable Form to the Administrator.  The designation of a beneficiary other than the spouse of such Participant shall not be effective unless:

      (1)       the consent of the spouse of the Participant (i) is obtained on the Applicable Form, (ii) acknowledges the effect of the election, (iii) applies only to a specific beneficiary designation which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the consent of the spouse expressly permits future elections by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the spouse), and (iv) is witnessed by an authorized representative of the Administrator, or by a notary public; or

      (2)       the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Administrator, in its sole discretion, that the consent under paragraph (1) cannot be obtained because (i) the Participant has no spouse, (ii) the spouse of the Participant cannot be located, or (iii) of such other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury by regulation may prescribe.

      Any consent by a spouse of a Participant, or establishment that consent of such spouse cannot be obtained, shall be effective only with respect to such spouse.

      (c)       In the absence of a designation by the Participant pursuant to paragraph (b), or if all designated beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the benefits, if any, shall be paid to the spouse of the Participant, if living at the time of the death of the Participant, or if no such spouse is then living, to the estate of the Participant.

      Section 7.05.      Other Distribution Rules Imposed by Federal Law.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, any distribution under the Plan shall be made in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations promulgated thereunder and shall comply with the following rules:

      (a)       Minimum Required Distributions.  To the extent required by Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, payment of the Accounts of a Participant shall begin not later than the Required Beginning Date.

      (b)       Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin.  If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest shall be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

      (1)       If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, distributions to the surviving spouse shall begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70-1/2 if later.

       

      
      

      - 50 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      (2)       If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, distributions to the Designated Beneficiary shall begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

      (3)       If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest shall be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.

      (4)       If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this paragraph (b), other than paragraph (b)(1), shall apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

      For purposes of this paragraph (b) and paragraph (e), unless paragraph (b)(4) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's Required Beginning Date.  If paragraph (b)(4) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph (b)(1).

      (c)       Forms of Distribution.  Unless the Participant's interest is distributed in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year distributions shall be made in accordance with paragraphs (d) and (e).

                  Required Minimum Distributions During Participant's Lifetime.
 

      

       (1)       Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year.  During the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that shall be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:

      (A)      the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's age as of the Participant's birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

      (B)      if the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant's spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's and spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and spouse's birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.

      (2)       Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant's Death.  Required minimum distributions shall be determined under this paragraph (d)(2) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant's date of death.

                  Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.
 

      

       (A)      Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that shall be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant's Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:

       

      
      

      - 52 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      (i)        The Participant's remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

      (ii)       If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death using the surviving spouse's age as of the spouse's birthday in that year.  For Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving spouse's death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

      (iii)      If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary's remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Designated Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

      (B)      No Designated Beneficiary.  If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant's death, the minimum amount that shall be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the Participant's remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age

      of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

      

      	
                   
 	
                  (2)
 	
                  Death Before Date Distributions Begin.  
 

      

       (A)      Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that shall be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant's Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in paragraph (e)(1).

      (B)      No Designated Beneficiary.  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, distribution of the Participant's entire interest shall be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.

      (C)      Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin.  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph (b)(1), this paragraph (e)(2) shall apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

      (2)       Distribution Calendar Year.  A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required.  For distributions beginning before the Participant's death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant's Required Beginning Date.  For distributions beginning after the Participant's death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under paragraph (b).  The required minimum distribution for the Participant's first Distribution Calendar Year shall be made on or before the Participant's Required Beginning Date.  The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for
      the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant's Required Beginning Date occurs, shall be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

      (3)       Life Expectancy.  Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

The Account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any Contributions made and allocated to the Account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date.  The Account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any

      amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

      (5)       Required Beginning Date.  Required Beginning Date means April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age seventy and one-half (70-1/2), or (ii) the calendar year in which the Participant Retires; provided, however, for a Participant who is a five percent (5%) owner, as defined in Code Section 416, Required Beginning Date means April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age seventy and one-half (70-1/2), regardless of whether he has Retired.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant who (i) has not Retired or Terminated Employment, (ii) reached age 70-1/2 prior to January 1, 1997, and (iii) began receiving distributions from the Plan
      pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) as in effect on December 31, 1996, may elect to discontinue such distributions at any time by submitting the Applicable Form to the Administrator or its designee.  Upon recommencement of distributions by a Participant who elects to discontinue distributions in accordance with the preceding sentence, there shall be a new annuity starting date.

      Section 7.06.      Charge or Discount.  If any charge or discount is incurred by the Trustee as an incident to the payment of any benefits hereunder, such charge or discount shall be charged against the benefits of the Participant or beneficiary to which the same relates.

      Section 7.07.      Persons Under Legal Disability.  If the Administrator is advised in writing that any benefit is payable to a minor or other person under a legal disability, the Administrator may direct that such payments be made to the legal guardian of such person or to 

       

      
      

      - 56 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      such other person or organization as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct in full satisfaction of any payment due under the Plan.

      Section 7.08.      Plan Distributions and Withholding Requirements.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee's election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.  Such distribution may commence less than thirty (30) days after the notice required under section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given, provided that (i) the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least thirty (30) days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of
      whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and (ii) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution.  The following definitions shall apply to this Section:

      (a)       An "Eligible Rollover Distribution" is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include:  (i) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten (10) years or more; (ii) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); or (iii) the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer
      securities).  Any amount that is distributed on account of 

       

      
      

      - 57 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      hardship shall not be an Eligible Rollover Distribution and the Distributee may not elect to have any portion of such a distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan.

      (b)       An "Eligible Retirement Plan" is an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a), or, if the taxpayer's adjusted gross income does not exceed $100,000 or the taxpayer is not a married individual filing a separate return, a Roth individual annuity described in Code Section 408A(e) for distributions made after December 31, 2007, that accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover Distribution.  An Eligible Retirement Plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) and an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or
      political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan.  The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in Code Section 414(p).  The definition of an Eligible Retirement Plan for a nonspouse designated beneficiary of a deceased participant means an individual retirement annuity account established for the purpose of receiving a distribution from this Plan and treated as an inherited individual retirement account or annuity (within the meaning of Code Section 408(d)(3)(C)).

      (c)       A "Distributee" includes an employee, former employee, or the nonspouse designated beneficiary (as defined Code Section 401(a)(9)(E)) of a deceased Participant.  In addition, the employee's or former employee's surviving spouse and the employee's or former employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic 

       

      
      

      - 58 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), are Distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

      (d)       A "Direct Rollover" is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

      (e)       Notwithstanding paragraph (a), if an Eligible Rollover Distribution is expected to total less than Two Hundred Dollars ($200) during a year, such payment may not be directly rolled over.

      Section 7.09.      Code Section 401(a)(14) Distribution Requirements.  Unless a Participant elects otherwise, the payment of his benefits under the Plan must begin not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the end of the Plan Year in which occurs the latest of (i) the Participant's sixty-fifth (65th) birthday, (ii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Plan Year in which the Participant began participation in the Plan, or (iii) the Participant's Termination of Employment or Retirement.

      (1)       The distribution may not be in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant.  The amount of the immediate and heavy financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.

       

      
      

      - 61 -

                  A Participant may apply for a loan by completing the Applicable Forms.
 

      

       (c)       Each loan shall be amortized on a substantially level basis with payments not less frequently than quarterly.  The period of repayment shall not exceed five (5) years (fifteen (15) years in the event the loan is for purchase or construction of the Participant's principal residence); provided, however, the term of the loan shall not extend beyond the earlier of (i) in the case of a distribution which begins after the date of the loan, the date such distribution of the Accounts under Article VII begins; provided, however, a withdrawal for reason of financial hardship pursuant to Section 8.03 shall not be taken into account under this paragraph unless the amount withdrawn from the Accounts of the Participant affects the security of the loan, (ii) the date of distribution or separation of the Accounts pursuant to a
      qualified domestic relations order under Code Section 414(p) or any portion of the Accounts if the amount distributed or separated from the Accounts of the Participant pursuant to such order affects the security of the loan, (iii) the date a Participant Terminates Employment or Retires, unless the Participant is a party in interest immediately after such Termination of Employment or Retirement, or (iv) the date of a default on the loan.

In any event, a Participant may elect to suspend loan repayments under the Plan as permitted under Code Section 414(u).

      (e)       Rates of interest shall be determined by the Administrator or its designee in accordance with ERISA and the loan rules established by the Administrator.

      (f)        Each loan shall be adequately secured.  The Plan shall have a security interest in the Accounts of the Participant; provided however, such security interest of the Plan shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the value of such Accounts at the inception of the loan, or from time to time thereafter, whichever is greater.

      (g)       The Administrator or its designee may declare a loan in default at any time after a Participant fails to make a payment if the Administrator or its designee, in good faith, deems the Plan insecure with respect to the repayment of the loan and notifies the Participant of this deemed insecurity.  The Administrator or its designee shall declare such loan in default no later than the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the Participant fails to make a payment, unless the Participant pays the amount due plus accrued interest prior to such date.

      (h)       If the Participant is in default, the Rollover Account, After-Tax Contribution Account, Profit Sharing Transfer Account, and Matching Account of the Participant shall be applied against the outstanding loan to the extent necessary to fully repay the same.

      (j)        No distributions to a Participant shall be made prior to repayment of all outstanding loans, except as provided in paragraph (c); provided, however, if there is a distributable event with respect to the Participant, the Vested Accounts of the Participant shall be applied against such outstanding loans to the extent necessary to fully repay the same.  A default is a distributable event, to the extent permitted by the Code.

      (k)       The Participant may repay in a form acceptable to the Administrator or its designee and without penalty, the entire outstanding principal balance of the loan and accrued interest to date of repayment.

      (l)        Outstanding loans which (i) are not in default, and (ii) were obtained by a Transferred Employee who makes a transfer of his accounts from the Irwin Mortgage Corporation Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan to this Plan in accordance with Section 4.10, shall be transferred automatically to this Plan and shall comply with Article IX of the Plan and the loan rules established by the Plan Administrator.

Each Participant having not less than three (3) Years of Service shall be permitted to elect on an Applicable Form, within a reasonable period after the adoption of such amendment, to have his Vested Accounts computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment.  The reasonable period shall end no earlier than the latest of the following dates (i) the date that is sixty (60) days after the day the amendment is adopted, (ii) the date that is sixty (60) days after the day the amendment becomes effective, or (iii) the date that is sixty (60) days after the day
      the Participant is notified of the amendment by the Participating Employer or Administrator.

Amounts restored shall come from forfeitures.  If forfeitures are insufficient to restore the forfeited amounts, the Participating Employer shall make an additional contribution sufficient to restore the forfeited amount.  This additional contribution shall not constitute an annual addition under Code Section 415.

      (c)       Amounts forfeited during a Plan Year shall be held unallocated until they are used as provided in the following sentence.  Forfeited amounts may be applied to pay recordkeeping administrative expenses of the Plan if so directed by the Plan Administrator.  Any amounts not used to pay administrative expenses shall be used to reduce Participating Employer Contributions required under Sections 4.03, 4.04, and 4.05 as of the earliest possible date such contributions are required to be made to the Plan.

      ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

       

      

      	
                   
 	
                  Section 11.01.
 	
                  Administrator.
 

      

       (a)       The Administrator shall serve as the administrator of the Plan within the meaning of ERISA.  The Administrator shall have the authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan and shall be the named fiduciary of the Plan.  The Administrator is authorized to accept service of legal process.

      (b)       The Administrator shall have such power and authority (including discretion with respect to the exercise of that power and authority) as may be necessary, advisable, desirable, or 

       

      
      

      - 70 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      convenient to enable the Administrator to carry out its duties under the Plan.  By way of illustration and not limitation, the Administrator is empowered and authorized:

      (1)       to make rules and regulations with respect to the Plan not inconsistent with the Plan, the Code, or ERISA and to amend or rescind such rules and regulations;

      (2)       to determine, consistently therewith, all questions of law or fact that may arise as to the eligibility, benefits, status, and rights of any person claiming benefits or rights under the Plan, including without limitation, Participants, former Participants, surviving spouses of Participants, beneficiaries, Employees, and former Employees;

      (3)       to direct the Trustee to make payments from the Trust Fund to Participants, their beneficiaries, and other persons as the Administrator may determine; and

      (4)       subject to and consistent with the Code and ERISA, to construe and interpret the Plan and to correct any defects, supply any omissions, or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan.

      (c)       Any action by the Administrator, which is not found to be an abuse of discretion, shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all individuals affected thereby.  The Administrator may take any such action in such manner and to such extent as the Administrator in its sole discretion may deem expedient and the Administrator shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.

      (d)       The Administrator shall act directly by action of its Board of Directors.  Benefits under the Plan shall be paid only if the Administrator decides, in its sole discretion, that the applicant is entitled to such benefits.

      Section 11.02.    Claims Procedure.  The procedures in this Section shall apply to all benefit claims.

      (a)       Any person who believes that he is entitled to any benefits under the Plan shall present such claim in writing to the Administrator.  The Administrator shall within ninety (90) days provide notice in writing to any claimant as to the decision on any such claim.  This determination shall be made without regard to whether all information that is needed accompanies the claim filing.  If the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time to process any claim, the Administrator shall give the claimant written notice of the extension within the initial ninety (90) day period under this paragraph (a).  Any extension under the preceding sentence shall not be longer than an additional ninety (90) days after the initial ninety (90) day period.  The extension notice shall indicate the special
      circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render a determination on the claim.

      (b)       If such claim has been denied, in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth (i) the specific reasons for such denial, (ii) specific reference to any pertinent provisions of the Plan on which denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) an explanation of the review procedure and time limits for the Plan, including the right to bring action under ERISA Code Section 502(a) in specific circumstances as set forth in (f) below.  Such notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant.

      (c)       If the Administrator's determination to deny a claim is not acceptable to the claimant, an appeal for benefits may be filed with the Administrator.  Within sixty (60) days after 

       

      
      

      - 72 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      receipt by the claimant of notification of denial, the claimant shall have the right to present a written appeal to the Administrator.  If such appeal is not filed within said sixty (60) day period, the decision of the Administrator shall be final and binding.  The claimant or his duly authorized representative may review any Plan documents which are pertinent to the claim and may submit issues and comments to the Administrator in writing.  The claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of documents and information relevant to the claim.  When reviewing an appeal, the Administrator shall consider all comments, documents, and other information submitted by the claimant, regardless of whether the information was submitted in the initial determination.  The Administrator shall act as a fiduciary in making a full and fair review of such denial.

      (d)       If the claimant does appeal the claim denial, a decision by the Administrator shall be made promptly and, in any event, not later than sixty (60) days after its receipt of the appeal, without regard to whether all information needed to make a determination is included with the appeal.  If the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time to process any claim, such as a hearing at which the claimant or his duly authorized representative may be present is necessary, the Administrator may extend the decision, but not later than an additional sixty (60) days after the initial sixty (60) day period following receipt of the appeal.  The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render a determination on the
      claim.  If the period for reviewing the appeal is extended because of the failure to submit information needed to decide the claim, the sixty (60) day extension period within which the Administrator must make a determination shall be tolled until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information.

      (e)       If the Administrator denies the claimant's appeal as to any claim, the Administrator's decision shall be in writing and provide adequate notice to the claimant (i) setting forth the specific reasons for any denial, (ii) identifying the Plan sections on which the denial is based, (iii) notifying the claimant of entitlement to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits, and (iv) stating the claimant's right to bring an action under ERISA Section 502(a) as set forth in (f) below.  Any such decision by the Administrator shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall be final and binding.

      (f)        If the claimant disagrees with the Administrator's decision and has followed the claims procedures in this Section 11.02, the claimant shall have the right to bring a civil action in a court of law under ERISA Section 502(a).  Any such civil action shall be filed by the claimant within one (1) year of the date of the Administrator's final denial of the claim under paragraph (e), or such civil action shall be barred.  Failure to follow the claim's procedures described in this Section 11.02 shall indicate acceptance of any benefit denial, and the claimant shall no longer have the right to appeal or dispute the denial.

      (g)       All claims procedures shall be governed by the regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Labor.

      Section 11.03.    Employment of Consultants.  The Administrator or a fiduciary named by the Administrator may employ one (1) or more persons to render advice with regard to their respective responsibilities under the Plan.

      Section 11.04.    Delegation by Administrator.  The Administrator may from time to time delegate to an individual, committee, or organization certain of its fiduciary responsibilities 

       

      
      

      - 74 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      under the Plan.  Any such individual, committee, or organization shall remain a fiduciary until such delegation is revoked by the Administrator, which revocation may be without cause and without advance notice.  To the extent permitted under ERISA, such individual, committee, or organization shall have such power and authority with respect to such delegated fiduciary responsibilities as the Administrator has under the Plan.  The Administrator shall not be liable for any act or omission of such fiduciary in carrying out such responsibility, except as may be otherwise provided in ERISA.

      Section 11.05.    Qualified Public Accountant.  If required under ERISA, the Administrator shall engage on behalf of all Participants an independent qualified public accountant who is qualified to act as such under ERISA and who shall conduct such an examination of any financial statements of the Plan, and of other books and records of the Plan, as the qualified public accountant may deem necessary to enable him to form an opinion as to whether the financial statements and schedules required to be included in the annual report of the Plan under ERISA are presented fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding Plan Year and who shall perform such other services for the Plan as the Administrator may require.

      Section 11.06.    Fiduciary Insurance.  The Plan or the Company may purchase fiduciary liability insurance for any of its fiduciaries, or for itself, to cover liability or losses occurring by reason of the act or omission of a fiduciary, provided that such insurance permits recourse by the insurer against the fiduciary in the case of a breach of a fiduciary obligation under ERISA by such fiduciary.

      Section 11.07.    Allocation of Fiduciary Responsibilities.  To the extent permitted under ERISA, each fiduciary under the Plan shall be responsible only for the specific duties assigned 

       

      
      

      - 75 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      under the Plan and shall not be directly or indirectly responsible for the duties assigned to another fiduciary.  Any person or a group of persons may serve in more than one (1) fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan.

                  Trust Funds.  
 

      

       (a)       All contributions under the Plan shall be transferred to the Trust to be held, managed, invested, and distributed as part of the Trust Fund by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.  All benefits under the Plan shall be distributed solely from the Trust Fund, and the Participating Employers shall have no liability therefore other than the obligation to make contributions to the Trust Fund as provided in the Plan.

      (b)       The Accounts of Participants shall be invested in one (1) or more Funds selected by the Administrator, or its designee.  The Administrator or its designee may add additional Funds or delete Funds.  Any such Funds may invest through the medium of any common, collective, or commingled fund maintained by the Trustee which is invested principally in property of the kind specified for such Fund.  The Administrator or its designee shall establish investment guidelines or policies applicable to each such Fund.  A portion of each Fund may be maintained in cash or cash equivalents.  Income or losses from investments in each Fund shall be credited or debited to the same Fund.

      (c)       Contributions shall be invested as elected by the Participant, or as subsequently changed, on the Applicable Form submitted to the Administrator or its designee, subject to such conditions as it may prescribe.

      (d)       Any amounts resulting from a failure to operate the Plan in accordance with its written terms that are not attributable directly to Participants shall be contributed or transferred to

      a suspense account held unallocated under the Trust.  Such amounts shall be held, managed, invested, and distributed as part of the Trust Fund by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.  Upon Internal Revenue Service approval of the Plan as herein amended, amounts held in the suspense account may be applied to pay recordkeeping administrative expenses of the Plan if so directed by the Plan Administrator, and any amounts not used to pay administrative expenses shall be used to reduce Participating Employer Contributions required under Sections 4.03, 4.04, and 4.05 as of the earliest possible date such contributions are required to be made to the Plan.  Furthermore, upon Internal Revenue Service approval of the Plan as herein amended, the provision for use of amounts held in the suspense account under this subsection (d) shall take precedence over the provisions for use of
      any forfeiture amounts under Section 10.02(c).  Until used as provided in this subsection (d), amounts held in the suspense account shall be invested as designated by the Administrator, from time to time.

       (a)       Each Participant shall have the right to direct the investment of his Accounts in accordance with this Section.  Contributions shall be invested as elected by the Participant on the Applicable Form submitted to the Administrator, or its designee, or by such other means as may be provided for the Funds, subject to such conditions as the Administrator, or its designee, may prescribe.  A Participant may change his investment election as often as determined by the Administrator, provided that the Administrator must permit investment election changes at least once per calendar year quarter.  A Participant may change his investment election with respect to contributions to be made thereafter and may elect to transfer all or any portion of the Accounts of the Participant which may be invested in any one (1) Fund to another Fund,
      subject to the limitations of the Funds, by filing a request on the Applicable Form with the Administrator, or its

      designee, or by such other means as may be provided for the Funds.  Investments in a Fund must be elected in a minimum of one percent (1%) increments, and such investments shall also be subject to any reasonable administrative limits established by the Administrator or its designee.

      (b)       Where excessive trading can undermine any of the Funds or exceed the available liquidity for any such Fund, the Company reserves the right to modify or suspend transfer and withdrawal privileges on any of the Funds, at any time, upon notice to Participants.  

      (c)       If a Participant fails to direct the investment of his Accounts, the Participant shall be deemed to have directed that his Accounts be invested in the Fund or Funds designated by the Administrator, from time to time.

      (d)       From time to time, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that all Participants be permitted to direct the Trust to invest their Accounts in specific assets including Employer Stock or real property that constitutes a Qualifying Employer Security.

       (a)       Participants may direct the investment of their Accounts into Employer Stock as provided in Section 12.02; however, a Participant's investment in Employer Stock shall be limited to fifty percent (50%) of new Contributions.

      (b)       Effective as soon as administratively feasible following any request of a Participant, any Accounts or any portions of any Account that are invested in Employer Stock may be transferred among designated investment funds as directed by the Participant and as provided in Section 12.02; provided however, that the value of such Accounts transferred shall be based upon the number of shares allocated to such Accounts as of the Allocation Date

      (c)       Elections with respect to investments in Employer Stock by Participants who are members of the Board of Directors of the Company or who are officers of the Company within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 16a-1(f), shall be given effect only if one of the following conditions is met:

      (1)       if the election is made in connection with the death, Disability, Retirement or Termination of Employment of the Participant; or

      (2)       the election is required to be made available to the Participant pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code; or

      (3)       if the election involves a transfer of existing Account balances into Employer Stock, it is not made within six (6) months following the most recent election, with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company, that effected a transaction that was a disposition of Employer Stock; or, if the election involves a transfer of Account balances out of the Employer Stock, it is not made within six (6) months following the most recent election, with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company, that effected a transaction that was an acquisition of Employer Stock; or

      (4)       if the election results in the investment of future contributions (e.g., new money) into Employer Stock; or

      (5)       the election is determined by the Trustee, based upon the advice of counsel to the Company, to be otherwise exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934.

       (a)       Except as provided in this Section, all shares of Employer Stock shall be voted by the Trustee as directed by the Company pursuant to paragraph (b), or upon the resignation or removal of the Trustee, by the Company, until a successor trustee is designated.

      (b)       Each Participant shall have the right to direct the manner in which the voting rights of Employer Stock (including any fractional shares) allocated to the Accounts of such Participant under the Plan are to be voted on any matter put to the vote of shareholders.  Each Participant shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Employer Stock allocated to his Accounts and a fractional vote based upon any fractional shares allocated to such Accounts.  The Trustee shall vote the combined shares and fractional shares of Employer Stock that are allocated to Participants' Accounts, in accordance with the direction of such Participants (the "Directed Shares").  If any Participant fails to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which to vote his allocated Employer Stock, the Trustee shall vote the shares or fractional shares of such
      Participant's allocated Employer Stock in the same proportion as the Directed Shares.  With respect to any shares of Employer Stock that are held in a suspense account under the Plan, the Trustee shall vote such shares in the same proportion as the Directed Shares.

      (c)       The Company shall furnish the Trustee and all Participants, entitled to direct voting of any Employer Stock, with notices and information statements when voting rights are to be exercised.  The time and manner for furnishing such Participants with a notice or information

      statement must comply with the corporate law of the State of Indiana and the Articles of Incorporation and by-laws of the Company as generally applicable to security holders.  The content of the information statements must be the same for such Participants as for other security holders.  The Company may establish a deadline in advance of any meeting of shareholders by which such voting instructions must be received to be effective.  The officers of the Company may solicit and exercise the voting rights of such Participants under any proxy provision applicable to all security holders of the Company.

      (d)       If Participants direct the manner in which Employer Stock is voted, they shall be deemed named fiduciaries of the Plan with respect to the voting of such Employer Stock.  The Company shall hold their individual direction in confidence, except as required by law.

      (e)       A Participant shall not be permitted to direct the hold, sale, tender, or exchange of Employer Stock credited to his Accounts in any corporate transaction.

      Section 12.06.    ERISA Section 404(c).  The Plan is intended to comply with ERISA Section 404(c), and such compliance shall limit the liability of Plan fiduciaries with regard to Participant directed investments.  In accordance with the provisions of ERISA Section 404(c), each Participant shall have the right to direct the investment of his Accounts in one (1) or more Funds in accordance with this Article, the Trust Agreement, and any rules promulgated and adopted by the Administrator.

      certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors taking such action shall be delivered to the Administrator and Trustee, and the Plan shall be amended or terminated in the manner and effective as of the date set forth in such resolution, and the Participating Employers, Employees, Participants, beneficiaries, Trustee, Administrator, and all other persons having any interest under the Plan shall be bound thereby.  Provided, however, that no such Board of Directors action shall operate to recapture for a Participating Employer any contributions or payments previously made to the Plan, nor to adversely affect any benefits otherwise payable to Participants and their beneficiaries.

      Section 13.02.    Amendment for Qualification of Plan.  It is the intent of the Company that the Plan shall be and remain qualified for tax purposes under the Code.  The Company shall promptly submit the Plan for approval under the Code and all expenses incident thereto shall be borne by the Company.  The Company may make any modifications, alterations, or amendments to the Plan necessary to obtain and retain approval of the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate as may be necessary to establish and maintain the status of the Plan as qualified and the deductibility for income tax purposes of Participating Employer Contributions thereto under the provisions of the Code or other federal legislation, as now in effect or hereafter enacted, and the regulations issued thereunder.  Any modification,
      alteration, or amendment of the Plan, made in accordance with this Section, may be made retroactively, if necessary or appropriate.  A certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors making such amendment shall be delivered to the Administrator and Trustee, and the Plan shall be amended in the manner and effective as of the date set forth in such resolution, and the Participating Employers, Employees, Participants, beneficiaries, Trustee, Administrator, and all others having any interest under the Plan shall be bound thereby.

      Section 13.03.    Restrictions on Amendments.  Any amendment may be made to the Plan which is not contrary to ERISA or the Code.  No amendment may be made to the Plan that violates Code Section 411(d)(6).

      Section 13.04.    Discontinuance or Suspension of Contributions.  A Participating Employer may discontinue completely or suspend temporarily for a definite or indefinite period its contributions under the Plan, or terminate the Plan, at any time or from time to time without any liability whatsoever, as contributions by the Participating Employers are completely voluntary and the Participating Employers are under no contractual obligation to continue contributions.  Temporary suspension of contributions by a Participating Employer shall not result in any Accounts becoming Vested.

      Section 13.05.    Allocation of Assets on Termination.  In the case of the complete or partial termination of the Plan, as to one (1) or more Participating Employers, including a termination arising from the complete discontinuance of contributions, the Accounts of each affected Participant shall become irrevocably Vested.  On such complete or partial termination, the affected portion of the Trust Fund shall be liquidated pursuant to the direction of the Board of Directors.  The Plan shall remain in full effect with respect to each Participating Employer, and Participants who are Employees of such Participating Employer, which does not terminate its participation in the Plan on behalf of its Employees; provided, however, the termination of participation by less than all of the Participating Employers shall
      not affect the Plan as it applies to Participants who are not, at the time of termination, Employees of a terminating Participating Employer.

      ENTRY AND WITHDRAWAL OF PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS

      Section 14.01.    Entry of Participating Employers.  Any organization classified by the Board of Directors as a Participating Employer may become a party to the Plan as of the first day of any Plan Year, or such other date specified by the Board of Directors, by delivering to the Administrator an appropriate resolution by the board of directors of such organization.  With the consent of the Board of Directors, such organization shall become a Participating Employer hereunder, as of the specified date, and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan as then in effect and thereafter amended.

      Section 14.02.    Withdrawal from Plan.  A Participating Employer may withdraw from the Plan if authorized by the Board of Directors upon written notice together with a resolution of the Participating Employer's board of directors, or with respect to a limited partnership its general partner, authorizing its withdrawal as a Participating Employer hereunder.  Any Participating Employer hereunder which elects to withdraw from the Plan shall deliver such notice to the Board of Directors at least thirty (30) days prior to the date withdrawal is to be effective, unless such requirement is waived by joint action of such Board of Directors.  Provided, however, the Board of Directors shall have complete authority, in its discretion, to determine the actual date of withdrawal and the terms and conditions of such
      withdrawal, subject to any applicable provisions of the Code and ERISA.

      TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

      Section 15.01.    Definitions.  For purposes of this Article, the following definitions shall apply:

       

      
      

      - 84 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      (a)       "Aggregation Group" means each qualified plan of the Participating Employers (including any terminated plan if it was maintained in the last five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date) in which at least one (1) Key Employee participates in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years and each other plan of the Participating Employers which, during such period, enables any plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410.  "Aggregation Group" also includes each other qualified plan of the Participating Employers designated by the Participating Employers as part of such group, if such group, taking into account such plan, would continue to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410.

      (b)       "Determination Date" means, for the first Plan Year, the last day of the first Plan Year, and for any other Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year.

      (c)       "Key Employee" any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was an officer of an Affiliated Employer having annual compensation greater than One Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($130,000) (as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a five percent (5%) owner of an Affiliated Employer, or a one percent (1%) owner of an Affiliated Employer having annual compensation of more than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000).  For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3).  The determination of who is a Key Employee shall be made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general
      applicability issued thereunder.

      (d)       "Non-Key Employee" means any Employee or former Employee, and the beneficiaries of such Employee, who is not a Key Employee.

       

      
      

      - 85 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      (e)       "Top-Heavy Allocation Date" means, for any Plan Year, the date of the most recent valuation immediately preceding or coincident with the Determination Date for the Plan Year.

      (f)        "Top-Heavy Plan" means, for any Plan Year the Plan if the "top-heavy ratio" for the Aggregation Group as of the Determination Date exceeds sixty percent (60%).  The top-heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits as of the Top-Heavy Allocation Date under the defined benefit plans for all Key Employees plus the sum of account balances as of the Determination Date under the defined contribution plans for all Key Employees, and the denominator of which is the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits as of the Top-Heavy Allocation Date under the defined benefit plans plus the sum of account balances as of the Determination Date under the defined contribution plans for all Participants, including Key-Employees, former Participants, and the beneficiaries of
      such Participants.  Provided, however, in the calculation of the top-heavy ratio (i) if any Participant has not performed any services for an Affiliated Employer during the one (1) year period ending on the Determination Date, the accounts of such Participant shall not be taken in account; (ii) the value of account balances and cumulative accrued benefits of a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year shall be disregarded; (iii) the value of account balances and cumulative accrued benefits for the Aggregation Group shall be calculated with reference to the Determination Date of each plan which falls within the same calendar year; (iv) the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account shall be made in accordance with Code Section 416 and the regulations thereunder; (v) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an Employee as of the Determination Date
      shall be increased by (A) the 

       

      
      

      - 86 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 416(g)(2) during the one (1) year period (or, in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, the five (5) year period) ending on the Determination Date, and (B) the distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i).  The accrued benefit of a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under:  (i) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Participating Employers, or (ii) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).

      

      	
                   
 	
                  (g)
 	
                  "Top-Heavy Year" means any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan.
 

      

      Section 15.02.    Top-Heavy Plan Provisions.  If the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan in any one (1) or more Plan Years, and notwithstanding Article V, in each Top-Heavy Year the following provisions shall apply:

      (a)       The minimum accrued benefit derived from Participating Employer Contributions for each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee, shall equal a percent of the compensation of each such Participant from a Participating Employer for the Top-Heavy Year which is the lesser of (i) three percent (3%), or (ii) the percent of compensation for the Top-Heavy Year allocated to the Accounts of the Key Employee with the highest percentage allocation for the Top-Heavy Year.  Provided, however, the minimum allocation may not be less than three percent (3%) if the Plan is required to be included in an Aggregation Group and the Plan enables a defined benefit plan required to be included in such group to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410.  This minimum allocation shall include all amounts allocated to the Accounts of such 

       

      
      

      - 87 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      Participant for the Top-Heavy Year pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.04, and 4.05 but not 4.02.  This minimum allocation shall include amounts allocated to the Accounts of a Participant who is a Key Employee for the Top-Heavy Year pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, and 4.05.  Participating Employer Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as Matching Contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage and other requirements of Code Section 401(m).

      (b)       Notwithstanding paragraph (a), if a Participating Employer maintains another Top-Heavy Plan, which is a defined contribution plan, and the other plan satisfies paragraph (a) with respect to a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee in both plans, then paragraph (a) shall not apply to this Plan with respect to such Participant.

      (c)       Notwithstanding paragraph (a), if a Participating Employer maintains another Top-Heavy Plan, which is a defined benefit plan, then either (i) this other plan must satisfy the defined benefit minimum provisions of Code Section 416(c)(1) with respect to a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee in both plans, or (ii) this Plan must provide a minimum accrued benefit derived from Participating Employer Contributions for such Participant equal to five percent (5%) of the compensation of such Participant from the Participating Employer for the Top-Heavy Year.

                  Nonalienation of Benefits.  
 

      

       (a)       Except as provided in paragraph (b) or (c), no benefit under the Plan, prior to actual receipt thereof by a Participant or a beneficiary, shall be subject to any debt, liability, contract, engagement, or tort of any Participant or his beneficiary, nor subject to anticipation, sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance, pledge, charge, attachment, garnishment, execution,

      alienation, or other voluntary or involuntary alienation or other legal or equitable process, nor transferable by operation of law.

      (b)       The benefits of a Participant shall be paid to an "Alternate Payee" as defined in Code Section 414(p) pursuant to the applicable requirements of any "Qualified Domestic Relations Order" under Code Sections 401(a)(13) and 414(p).

      (c)       The benefits of a Participant under the Plan may be reduced to the extent permitted under Code Section 401(a)(13), which, in general, provides a reduction to satisfy the Participant's liability to the Plan due to (i) the Participant's conviction of a crime involving the Plan, (ii) a judgment, consent order, or decree in an action for violation of fiduciary standards, or (iii) a settlement involving the Department of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

      (d)       Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any benefit payable to a Participant or a beneficiary of a Participant shall be reduced by any benefit paid or payable  from the benefits of the Participant under the Plan pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c).  The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may direct the Trustee to separately account for any benefit payable pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c).

      (e)       Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan may make a distribution to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order prior to the date the Participant attains his earliest retirement age, as defined in Code Section 414(p)(4)(B), only if the domestic relations order specifically requires the Plan to make a distribution prior to such date.

                  Procedures Regarding Domestic Relations Orders.  
 

      

       (a)       If the Plan receives any order which may be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the Administrator shall:

       

      
      

      - 89 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      (1)       promptly notify the Participant and any prospective Alternate Payee of (i) the receipt of such order, and (ii) the procedures under the Plan for determining whether such order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order; and

      (2)       within a reasonable period after receipt of such order, and in accordance with regulations which the Secretary of Labor may prescribe, determine whether such order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of such decision.

      (b)       The Administrator shall establish reasonable procedures to determine whether any order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and to administer the distribution of benefits with respect to such orders.  The procedures shall (i) be in writing, (ii) provide prompt notice of such procedures to each person specified in the order as entitled to the payment of benefits, at the address specified in the order, and (iii) permit an Alternate Payee to designate a representative for receipt of copies of notices that are sent to Alternate Payees with respect to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

      (c)       During any period of time in which the issue of whether an order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being determined by the Administrator, a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise, the Administrator shall provide the Trustee with written direction to separately account under the Trust for the amounts, if any, which would be payable to an Alternate Payee during such period if such order is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  If within the eighteen (18) month period beginning on the date on which the first payment would be required to be made under the order, the order, or modification thereof, is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the Administrator shall pay such separately accounted amounts, plus any interest thereon, to the Alternate Payee or Payees 

       

      
      

      - 90 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      entitled thereto.  If within the eighteen (18) month period the order is determined to not be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or if such issue has not been resolved, the Administrator shall direct the Trustee to pay such separately accounted amounts, plus any interest thereon, to the Participant or beneficiary entitled to such amounts as if there had been no order.  Any determination that an order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order after the close of the eighteen (18) month period shall have only prospective application.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, and in accordance with such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe, the Administrator, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, may delay payment of any amounts payable under the Plan to a Participant (i) to the end of said eighteen (18) month period, if an order is found to be defective
      within said eighteen (18) month period and the Administrator has notice that the parties with respect to the order are attempting to rectify any defects in the order, or (ii) for a reasonable period of time, if the Administrator receives notice that an order which may be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being sought with respect to the Participant; provided, however, for these purposes, a court stay to the Administrator during the time an appeal is pending is notice that the parties with respect to an order are attempting to cure any defects in an order, and the Administrator shall honor a restraining order prohibiting the disposition of any amounts with respect to a Participant pending resolution of a dispute with respect to an order which may be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

      Section 16.03.    Surviving Spouse.  To the extent so provided in any Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the former spouse of a Participant shall be treated as the surviving spouse of the Participant under the Plan for purposes of Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 and the spouse of the Participant shall not be treated as a spouse of the Participant for such purposes.

      Section 16.04.    Death of Alternate Payee Prior to Payment of Accounts.  In the event of the death of the Alternate Payee prior to the date the Alternate Payee's interest under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is paid to such Alternate Payee, the Alternate Payee's interest shall become immediately payable (i) to the Alternate Payee's designated beneficiary, or (ii) if no beneficiary has been designated, to the estate of the Alternate Payee.

      ARTICLE XVII.

       

      MISCELLANEOUS

      Section 17.01.    Non-Diversion.  The assets of the Plan shall never inure to the benefit of a Participating Employer and shall be held for the exclusive purposes of providing benefits to Participants in the Plan and their beneficiaries and defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan, except as follows:

      (a)       In the case of a contribution which is made by a Participating Employer under a mistake of fact, such contribution shall be returned to the Participating Employer, upon demand, within one (1) year after the payment of the contribution and shall be reduced for any loss incurred but unadjusted for any gains earned during the time the mistaken contribution was part of the Trust.

      (b)       Contributions by a Participating Employer are conditioned on the deductibility of the contribution under the Code.  To the extent the deduction is disallowed, such contributions to the extent disallowed shall be returned to the Participating Employer, upon demand, within one (1) year after the disallowance of such deduction.  Any amount not returned to the Participating Employer shall be deductible in subsequent taxable periods as provided in the Code.

      Section 17.02.    Military Service.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, any Participant who is entitled to the rights, protections, and privileges afforded by USERRA and is reemployed with an Affiliated Employer as provided in USERRA, shall (i) as 

       

      
      

      - 92 -

However, any make-up contributions shall not exceed the amount the Participant would have been permitted to contribute to the Plan had the Participant remained continuously employed by a Participating Employer throughout the period of his or her military service.  Any make-up contributions to the Plan described in this Section shall be made during the period beginning with
      the date of reemployment and ending on the date that occurs on the earliest of (i) three (3) times the period of the Participant's military service, or (ii) five (5) years.

      Section 17.03.    Merger, Consolidation of Plans, or Transfer of Plan Assets.  In the case of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other plan, each Participant in the Plan shall be entitled to a benefit (as if the Plan had been terminated) immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (as if the Plan had been terminated).

      Section 17.04.    Limitation of Rights and Obligations.  Neither the establishment nor maintenance of the Plan nor any amendment thereof, nor any act or omission under the Plan or resulting from the operation of the Plan shall be construed:

      (a)       as conferring upon any Participant, beneficiary, or any other person a right or claim against the Trust, Trustee, Company, Participating Employer, or Administrator, except to 

       

      
      

      - 93 -
      

       

      

      

       

      

      

      

      the extent that such right or claim shall be specifically expressed and provided in the Plan or provided under ERISA;

      (b)       as creating any responsibility or liability of the Company for the validity or effect of the Plan;

      (c)       as a contract or agreement between the Company and any Participant or other person;

      (d)       as being consideration for, or an inducement or condition of, employment of any Participant or other person, or as affecting or restricting in any manner or to any extent whatsoever the rights or obligations of any Participating Employer or any Participant or other person to continue or terminate the employment relationship at any time; or

      (e)       as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Participating Employer or to interfere with the right of the Participating Employer to discharge any Participant or other person at any time.

      Section 17.05.    Notice.  Any notice given under the Plan shall be sufficient if given to the Administrator, when addressed to its office, or if given to a Participant, when addressed to the Participant at his or her address as it appears in the records of the Administrator.

      Section 17.06.    Right of Recovery.  If the Trustee makes any payment that according to the terms of the Plan and the benefits provided hereunder should not have been made, the Trustee may recover that incorrect payment, whether or not it was made due to the error of the Trustee, from the person to whom it was made, or from any other appropriate party.  If any such incorrect payment is made directly to a Participant, the Trustee may deduct it when making future payments directly to that Participant.

      Section 17.07.    Legal Counsel.  The Administrator and/or its designee, may from time to time consult with counsel, who may be counsel for the Company, and shall be fully protected in acting upon the advice of such counsel.

      Section 17.08.    Evidence of Action.  Any action by any Participating Employer pursuant to any of the provisions of the Plan shall be evidenced by resolution of its governing body, and the Administrator shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such resolution so certified to it.  All orders, requests, and instructions to the Administrator by a Participating Employer or by any duly authorized representative, shall be in writing and the Administrator shall act and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such orders, requests, and instructions.

      Section 17.09.    Audit.  If an audit of the Plan and Trust is required under ERISA for any Plan Year, the Administrator shall engage an independent qualified public accountant.  Such audit shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of ERISA Section 103.

      Section 17.10.    Bonding.  Each fiduciary of the Plan, unless exempted under ERISA, shall be bonded in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the amounts of assets of the Plan handled by such fiduciary; provided, however, such bond shall not be less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and need not be for more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).  The expense of such bond shall be paid from the assets of the Plan unless paid by the Company.

      Section 17.11.    Receipt and Release.  Any payments to any Participant shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of the claim of such Participant being paid thereby and the Trustee or Administrator may condition payment thereof on the delivery by the Participant of the duly executed receipt and release in such form as may be determined by the Trustee or Administrator.

      Section 17.12.    Legal Actions.  If the Administrator is made a party to any legal action regarding the Trust or the Plan, except for a breach of fiduciary responsibility of such person or persons, any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the Administrator in connection with such proceeding shall be paid from the assets of the Trust Fund unless paid by the Company.

      Section 17.13.    Reliance.  The Administrator shall not incur any liability in acting upon any notice, request, signed letter, telegram, or other paper or document believed by the Administrator to be genuine or to be executed or sent by an authorized person.

      Section 17.14.    Entire Plan.  The Plan document and the documents incorporated by reference herein shall constitute the only legally governing documents for the Plan.  No statement by the Company, Trustees, Participating Employers, or Administrator shall be used in any claim unless in writing, signed by the party against whom the claim is being made.

      Section 17.15.    Counterparts.  The Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original.  All the counterparts shall constitute but one (1) and the same instrument and shall be sufficiently evidenced by any one (1) counterpart.

      AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO THE

      IRWIN FINANCIAL CORPORATION

      EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN 

      THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO is hereby executed on behalf of Irwin Financial Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Company”), effective as of March 1, 2009.

      WHEREAS, effective as of July 1, 1978, the Company established the Irwin Financial Corporation Employees’ Savings Plan (the “Plan”), which was most recently amended and restated in its entirety, effective as of January 1, 2008, and has been amended from time to time.

      WHEREAS, the Company reserved the right to amend the Plan pursuant to Sections 13.01 and 13.02 of the Plan; and

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to implement an automatic deferral percentage increase for certain participants, effective as of March 1, 2009, and to make certain other changes determined by the Company to be necessary or desirable. 

      NOW THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended, effective as of March 1, 2009, as follows:

      1.     Section 4.02(a) of the Plan, regarding pre-tax contributions and catch-up contributions, shall be amended to be and read as follows:

       “(a)     A Participant who is an Eligible Employee may make Pre-Tax Contributions as provided in this Section.  An Eligible Employee may enter into a salary reduction agreement with his Participating Employer agreeing to contribute Pre-Tax Contributions to the Plan of a specified whole percentage, from one percent (1%) to one hundred percent (100%) of his Plan Compensation each pay period; provided, however, Pre-Tax Contributions made on behalf of a Participant under the Plan for any calendar year shall not exceed the applicable dollar limit provided under Code Section 402(g), except to the extent permitted under Section 4.02(b) and Code Section 414(v), if applicable, for Catch-Up Contributions described in paragraph (b).  The following automatic enrollment provisions shall apply with respect to Eligible Employees who fail to make a
      Pre-Tax Contribution election:

       (1)       If an Eligible Employee who becomes an Eligible Employee on or after April 1, 2007 fails to make a Pre-Tax Contribution election within the first forty-five (45) days of becoming an Eligible 

       

      

      

      

      Employee, such Eligible Employee shall be deemed to have elected to contribute four percent (4%) of his Plan Compensation per pay period to the Plan, effective with the first payroll period beginning at least sixty (60) days after the Eligible Employee becomes a Participant.  Effective as of each March 1st occurring on or after March 1, 2009, the automatic enrollment percentage of a Participant who (i) was automatically enrolled pursuant to this paragraph (1) on or after March 1 and no later than September 1 of the preceding Plan Year, and (ii) has not made an affirmative election since such automatic enrollment, shall be increased from four percent (4%) to five percent (5%).  Such increased election shall remain in effect until the Eligible Employee affirmatively elects a different percentage or elects not to make Pre-Tax Contributions.

       (2)       If an Eligible Employee who becomes an Eligible Employee prior to April 1, 2007 fails to make a Pre-Tax Contribution election within the first forty-five (45) days of becoming an Eligible Employee, such Eligible Employee shall be deemed to have elected to contribute two percent (2%) of his Plan Compensation per pay period to the Plan, effective with the first payroll period beginning at least sixty (60) days after the Eligible Employee becomes a Participant.  Such election shall remain in effect until the Eligible Employee affirmatively elects a different percentage or elects not to make Pre-Tax Contributions.

       (3)       The Administrator may from time to time establish procedures to govern the administration of such automatic enrollment provisions.”

      

      	
                   
  	
                  2.
 	
                  In all other respects, the Plan shall be and remain unchanged.
 

      

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment Number Two is executed this 26 day of February, 2009.
