PREAMBLE

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (“the Company”) has established the Curtiss-Wright Corporation
Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) to assist eligible employees in saving
for retirement. The Plan is a continuation of the Curtiss-Wright
Corporation Employee Savings Plan and the Curtiss-Wright Corporation Deferred
Compensation Plan, which plans were merged effective September 1, 1994 and, as
so merged, were renamed the Curtiss-Wright Corporation Savings and Investment
Plan. The Plan has since been amended from
time to time. 

The Plan is intended to be a qualified plan
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) that
includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Code. 

The Plan was most recently amended and
restated in its entirety as of January 1, 2001 (“the January 1, 2001
Restatement”), which restatement also reflected provisions that became
effective on dates later than the initial effective date thereof. Subsequent to
the January 1, 2001 Restatement, the Plan has been amended to maintain
compliance with applicable law and regulations and for other purposes. This
Amendment and Restatement of the Plan as of January 1, 2010 incorporates
amendments heretofore made to the Plan and makes additional amendments to the
Plan. The amendments hereby made to the January 1, 2001 Restatement, as
heretofore amended, are effective as of January 1, 2010, except as
otherwise specified herein, provided, however, that the effective date of any
provision or provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent required by specific
provisions of the Plan, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act
of 2001, (with technical corrections made by the Job Creation and Worker
Assistance Act of 2002), the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Katrina
Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005, the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the
Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008 and the Worker, Retiree,
and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 or other law, be any such earlier or other effective
date required by the Plan, such acts, or such law.

 amount contributed to the Plan by the Employer as Deferred Cash
 Contributions. Deferred Cash Contributions shall be further limited as
 provided below and in Sections 3.11, 3.13 and 3.14. Any Deferred Cash
 Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as practicable. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 In no event shall the Member’s Deferred Cash Contributions and
 similar contributions made on his behalf by the Employer or an Affiliated
 Employer to all plans, contracts or arrangements subject to the provisions of
 Section 401(a)(30) of the Code in any calendar year exceed: the amount in
 effect for such calendar year under Section 402(g)(1) of the Code, as
 adjusted, if applicable, in accordance with Section 402(g)(4) of the Code. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 If a Member’s Deferred Cash Contributions in a calendar year reach
 the dollar limitation applicable for that year, his election of Deferred Cash
 Contributions for the remainder of the calendar year will be canceled. Each
 Member affected by this paragraph (b) may elect to change or suspend the rate
 at which he makes After-Tax Contributions. As of the first pay period of the
 calendar year following such cancellation, the Member’s election of Deferred
 Cash Contributions shall again become effective in accordance with his
 previous election, unless the Member elects otherwise in accordance with
 Section 3.09.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 In the event that the sum of the Deferred Cash Contributions and
 similar contributions to any other qualified defined contribution plan
 maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer exceeds the dollar
 limitation in Section 3.01(b) for any calendar year, the Member shall be
 deemed to have elected a return of Deferred Cash Contributions in excess of
 such limit (“excess deferrals”) from this Plan. The excess deferrals,
 together with Earnings, shall be returned to the Member no later than the
 April 15 following the end of the calendar year in which the excess deferrals
 were made. The amount of excess deferrals to be returned for any calendar
 year shall be reduced by any Deferred Cash Contributions previously returned
 to the Member under Section 3.11 for that calendar year. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (d)

 	
 If a Member makes tax-deferred contributions under another qualified
 defined contribution plan maintained by an employer other than the Employer
 or an Affiliated Employer for any calendar year and those contributions when
 added to his Deferred Cash Contributions exceed the dollar limitation under
 Section 3.01(b) for that calendar year, the Member may allocate all or a portion
 of such excess deferrals to this Plan. In that event, such excess deferrals,
 together with Earnings, shall be returned to the Member no later than the
 April 15 following the 

 

15

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 end of the calendar year in which such excess deferrals were made.
 However, the Plan shall not be required to return excess deferrals unless the
 Member notifies the Administrative Committee, in writing, by March 1 of that
 following calendar year of the amount of the excess deferrals allocated to
 this Plan. The amount of any such excess deferrals to be returned for any
 calendar year shall be reduced by any Deferred Cash Contributions previously
 returned to the Member under Section 3.11 for that calendar year.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.02

 	
 Catch-Up Contributions

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 A Member who satisfies the requirements of subsection (a) for a Plan
 Year may elect, in accordance with subsection (b), to reduce his Compensation
 and to have the amount by which his Compensation is so reduced contributed to
 the Plan by his Employer as a Catch-Up Contribution, provided, however, that
 such Catch-Up Contributions shall be subject to the conditions set forth in
 subsections (c) and (d).

 
	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 A Member satisfies the requirements of this paragraph for a Plan Year
 if:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 his 50th birthday is coincident with or prior to the last
 day of the Plan Year; and 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 either (A) the Deferred Cash Contributions made on his behalf for the
 Plan Year have reached the applicable dollar limitation for the calendar year
 coincident with such Plan Year, as set forth in Section 3.01(b) or (B) his
 percentage election, as in effect in accordance with Section 3.01(a) is equal
 to any percentage limitation imposed on such election by the Plan.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 A Member described in subsection (a) may elect to make Catch-Up
 Contributions in any percentage from 1% to 25% of his Compensation.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 Any Catch-Up Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as
 practicable and shall be allocated to the Member’s Catch-Up Account. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (d)

 	
 Catch-Up Contributions made on a Member’s behalf shall be limited to
 $5,500, as adjusted in accordance with Section 414(v)(2)(C) of the Code. In
 no event shall the Member’s Catch-Up Contributions for a Plan Year exceed the
 excess of his Deferred Cash Contributions for such Plan Year over his Statutory
 Compensation for such Plan Year.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (e)

 	
 The provisions of this Section shall be subject to the requirements
 of Section 414(v) of the Code and Regulations thereunder. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.03

 	
 Automatic Contribution Arrangement.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 Effective January 1, 2009, Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions will
 be made on behalf of Covered Members who do not have an affirmative election
 in effect regarding Deferred Cash Contributions. The amount of Automatic
 Deferred Cash Contributions made for a Covered Member each pay period is
 equal to 3% multiplied by the Covered Member’s Compensation for that pay
 period.

 

16

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 A Covered Member will have a reasonable opportunity after receipt of
 the notice required described in (d) below to make an affirmative election
 regarding Deferred Cash Contributions (either to have no Deferred Cash
 Contributions made or to have a different amount of Deferred Cash
 Contributions made) before Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions are made on
 the Covered Member’s behalf. Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions being made
 on behalf of a Covered Member will cease as soon as administratively feasible
 after the Covered Member makes an affirmative election.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions will be reduced or stopped to
 meet the limitations under Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) and 415 of the Code
 and to satisfy any suspension period required after a hardship distribution.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (d)

 	
 At least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the beginning of
 the Plan Year, the Employer will provide each Covered Member a comprehensive
 notice of the Member’s rights and obligations under this Automatic
 Contribution Arrangement, written in a manner calculated to be understood by
 the average Covered Member. If an eligible Employee becomes a Covered Member
 after the 90th day before the beginning of the Plan Year and does not receive
 the notice for that reason, the notice will be provided within a reasonable
 period of time and in accordance with Section 1.414(w)-1 of the Income Tax
 Regulations. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 The notice must accurately describe:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 The amount of Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions that will be made
 on the Covered Member’s behalf in the absence of an affirmative election;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 The Covered Member’s right to elect to have no Deferred Cash
 Contributions made on his behalf or to have a different amount of Deferred
 Cash Contributions made;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (iii)

 	
 How Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions will be invested in the
 absence of the investment instructions; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (iv)

 	
 The Covered Member’s right to make a withdrawal of Automatic Deferred
 Cash Contributions and the procedures for making such a withdrawal. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (e)

 	
 No later than 75 days after the recordkeeper first receives a Covered
 Member’s Automatic Deferred Cash Contribution, the Covered Member may request
 a distribution of his Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions. In no event may
 a Covered Member request a distribution of his Automatic Deferred Cash
 Contributions later than 90 days after Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions
 are first withheld from a Covered Member’s pay. No spousal consent is
 required for such a withdrawal. The amount to be distributed from the Plan
 upon the Covered Member’s request is equal to the amount of Automatic
 Deferred Cash Contributions made through the earlier of (i) the pay date for
 the second payroll period that begins after the Covered Member’s withdrawal
 request and (ii) the first pay date that occurs after 30 days after the
 Covered Member’s request, adjusted to reflect any investment gains or losses
 attributable to those 

 

17

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 contributions through the date of distribution. Any fee charged to
 the Covered Member for the withdrawal may not be greater than any other fee
 charged for a cash distribution. Unless the Covered Member affirmatively
 elects otherwise, any withdrawal request will be treated as an affirmative
 election to stop having Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions made on the
 Covered Member’s behalf as of the date specified above.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions distributed pursuant to this
 paragraph (e) are not counted towards the dollar limitation on Deferred Cash
 Contributions contained in Section 402(g) of the Code, nor for the Actual
 Deferral Percentage test.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.04

 	
 Roth Deferred Cash Contributions

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 Effective January 1, 2010, a Member may elect on his application
 filed under Section 2.02 to irrevocably designate Deferred Cash Contributions
 (under Section 3.01) and Catch-Up Contributions (under Section 3.02) as Roth
 Deferred Cash Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions, respectively.
 Any Roth Deferred Cash Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions shall be
 invested in one or more Investment Funds, as authorized by the Chairman of
 the Board of Directors or its designees, subject to (b) below. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 The Plan will maintain a separate record of the amount of Roth
 Deferred Cash Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions in each Member’s
 account. Contributions and withdrawals of Roth Deferred Cash Contributions
 and Roth Catch-Up Contributions will be credited and debited to the Roth
 Deferred Cash Contribution Account and the Roth Catch-Up Contribution Account
 maintained for each Member. Gains, losses, and other credits or charges must
 be separately allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each Member’s
 Roth Deferred Cash Contribution Account, the Roth Catch-Up Contribution
 Account and the Member’s other accounts under the Plan.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 No contributions other than Roth Deferred Cash Contributions and
 properly attributable earnings will be credited to each Member’s Roth
 Deferred Cash Contributions Account. No contributions other than Roth
 Catch-Up Contributions and properly attributable earnings will be credited to
 each Member’s Roth Catch-Up Account.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (d)

 	
 Unless specifically stated otherwise, Roth Deferred Cash
 Contributions will be treated as Deferred Cash Contributions for all purposes
 under the Plan, including hardship distributions under Section 7.04 and loans
 under Article 8. Unless specifically stated otherwise, Roth Catch-Up
 Contributions will be treated as Catch-Up Contributions for all purposes
 under the Plan.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (e)

 	
 In the case of a distribution of excess contributions under Section
 3.11, a Highly Compensated Employee may designate the extent to which the
 excess contribution is composed of Deferred Cash Contributions and Roth
 Deferred Cash Contributions but only to the extent such types of
 contributions were made for the year. If the Highly Compensated Employee does
 not designate which 

 

18

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 type of contributions are to be distributed, the Plan will distribute
 Deferred Cash Contributions first.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.05

 	
 After-Tax Contributions 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 Any Member may make After-Tax Contributions under this Section
 whether or not he has elected to have Deferred Cash Contributions made on his
 behalf pursuant to Section 3.01. The amount of After-Tax Contributions shall
 be at least 0.5% of his Compensation, while a Member, in multiples of 0.5%,
 to the maximum contribution permitted by law.

 
	
  

 
	
 The After-Tax Contributions of a Member shall be made through payroll
 deductions and shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as practicable.

 
	
  

 
	
 3.06

 	
 Limitation on Deferred Cash and After-Tax
 Contributions

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 The sum of a Member’s Deferred Cash Contribution election, his Roth
 Deferred Cash Contribution election and his After-Tax Contribution election,
 as in effect for any payroll period, shall not exceed 75% of his
 Compensation, provided, however, that such Deferred Cash Contributions, Roth
 Deferred Cash Contributions and After-Tax Contributions may be further
 limited by the Administrative Committee pursuant to Sections 3.11 and 3.12.

 
	
  

 
	
 3.07

 	
 Employer Matching Contributions prior to
 September 1, 1994 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 The Employer contributed, until August 31, 1994, on behalf of each of
 its Members who elected to make After-Tax Contributions, Matching
 Contributions in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of the After-Tax
 Contributions made by the Member to the Plan during each payroll period.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 From and after September 1, 1994, no Matching Contributions shall be
 made to the Plan. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.08

 	
 Rollover Contributions 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 Without regard to any limitations on contributions set forth in this
 Article 3, the Plan may accept from or on behalf of a Member who is then an
 Employee, a Rollover Contribution in cash, consisting of any amount,
 excluding after-tax amounts and amounts received as a spousal beneficiary,
 previously received (or deemed to be received) by him from an “eligible
 retirement plan.” Such Rollover Contributions shall be subject to the
 following:

 
	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 For purposes of this Section, “eligible retirement plan” means:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 a qualified plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (iii)

 	
 an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity of
 the Member described in Section 408(a) or 408(b) of the Code which contains
 only amounts that were originally distributed from a qualified 

 

19

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code (i.e., a “conduit
 IRA”);

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (iv)

 	
 an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (v)

 	
 an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained
 by a state, a political subdivision of a state, or an agency or
 instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (vi)

 	
 an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity of
 the Employee described in Section 408(a) or 408(b) of the Code that may
 contain amounts other than amounts that were originally distributed from a
 qualified plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code (i.e., a
 “traditional IRA”).

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 Such Rollover Contribution may be received in either of the following
 ways:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 The Plan may accept such amount as a direct rollover of an eligible
 rollover distribution from an eligible retirement plan; or

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 The Plan may accept such amount directly from the Member provided
 such amount:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 (A)

 	
 was distributed to the Member by an eligible retirement plan; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 (B)

 	
 is received by the Plan on or before the 60th day after
 the day it was received by the Member; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 (C)

 	
 would otherwise be includible in gross income.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 Notwithstanding subparagraph (B) above, the Administrative Committee
 may accept a Rollover Contribution more than 60 days after the amount was
 received by the Member provided the Member has received from the Secretary of
 the Treasury a waiver of the 60-day requirement, pursuant to Section
 402(c)(3)(B) of the Code.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan shall
not accept any amount unless such amount is eligible to be rolled over to a
qualified trust in accordance with applicable law and the Member provides
evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Committee that such amount qualified
for rollover treatment.

Notwithstanding any provision of this section
3.08 to the contrary and subject to the terms of Article 8, in the event an
individual who becomes an Employee of an Employer (as defined in Section 1.23)
on or after April 17, 2006 and who immediately prior to that date was employed
by a business entity acquired by the Company or one of its affiliates (an
“Acquired Employee”), and has no more than two loans outstanding under the
former 401(k) Plan, the Plan shall accept a direct loan rollover of such
outstanding loan notes, provided the loans are not in default as of the date of
transfer. Further, in accordance with the rules set forth by the Committee,
such individual may not receive a new loan or increase the outstanding loan(s) under
the terms of the 

20

Plan until such individual’s rolled over
loans have been repaid in full or otherwise distributed to the individual.
Under the terms of the Plan, Members may have a maximum of one outstanding
loan, unless and only if a Member is an Acquired Employee involved in a trust
to trust transfer or a direct loan rollover as mentioned above in which case
the Acquired Employee may have a maximum of two outstanding loans until such
rolled over loans are repaid in full or distributed to the individual.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Plan will also
accept a rollover contribution to a Roth Deferred Cash Contribution Account
only if it is a direct rollover from another Roth Deferred Cash Contribution
Account under an applicable retirement plan described in Section 402A(e)(1) of
the Code and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of
Section 402(c) of the Code.

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.09

 	
 Change
 in Contributions 

 

The percentages of Compensation designated by
a Member under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 and 3.05 shall automatically apply to
increases and decreases in his Compensation. A Member may change his election
under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 and 3.05 by giving notice to the Administrative
Committee or its designee. The changed percentage shall become effective as
soon as administratively practicable following the delivery of such notice.

In addition to the election opportunity for
Automatic Contributions under Section 3.03(b), a Covered Member may make a
subsequent election to increase or decrease the percentage of Compensation,
subject to the terms and conditions provided in the above paragraph.

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.10

 	
 Suspension of Contributions 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 A Member may suspend his contributions under Section 3.05 and/or
 revoke his election under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04 at any time by giving
 notice to the Administrative Committee or its designee. The suspension or
 revocation shall become effective as soon as administratively practicable
 following the delivery of such notice. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 A Member who has suspended his contributions under Section 3.05 may
 elect to have them resumed in accordance with Section 3.05 by giving notice
 to the Administrative Committee or its designee. A Member who has revoked his
 election under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04 may elect to resume having his
 Compensation reduced in accordance with Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04 by giving
 notice to the Administrative Committee or its designee.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 In addition to the election opportunity for Automatic Contributions
 under Section 3.03(b), a Covered Member may make a subsequent election to
 revoke the Automatic Contribution Arrangement at any time by giving notice to
 the Administrative Committee or its designee. Such revocation shall become
 effective as soon as administratively practicable following the delivery of
 such notice. 

 

21

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.11

 	
 Actual Deferral Percentage Test 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 With respect to each Plan Year, the Actual Deferral Percentage for
 that Plan Year for Highly Compensated Employees who are Members or eligible
 to become Members for that Plan Year shall not exceed the Actual Deferral
 Percentage for the preceding Plan Year for all Non-Highly Compensated
 Employees for the preceding Plan Year who were Members or eligible to become
 Members during the preceding Plan Year multiplied by 1.25. If the Actual
 Deferral Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees does not meet the
 foregoing test, the Actual Deferral Percentage for such Highly Compensated
 Employees for that Plan Year may not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage
 for the preceding Plan Year for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the
 preceding Plan Year who were Members or eligible to become Members during the
 preceding Plan Year by more than two percentage points (2%), and such Actual
 Deferral Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year
 may not be more than 2.0 times the Actual Deferral Percentage for the
 preceding Plan Year for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the
 preceding Plan Year who were Members or eligible to become Members during the
 preceding Plan Year (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Committee
 shall determine to satisfy the provisions of Section 3.13).

 
	
  

 
	
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may elect to use the
 Actual Deferral Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the
 current Plan Year being tested rather than the preceding Plan Year, provided
 that such election must be evidenced by a Plan amendment that complies with
 regulations under Section 401(k) of the Code. 

 
	
  

 
	
 The Administrative Committee may implement rules limiting the
 Deferred Cash Contributions (including Roth Deferred Cash Contributions)
 which may be made on behalf of some or all Highly Compensated Employees so
 that this limitation is satisfied. If the Administrative Committee determines
 that the limitation under this Section has been exceeded in any Plan Year,
 the following provisions shall apply:

 
	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 The actual deferral ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the
 highest actual deferral ratio shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet
 the actual deferral percentage test or to cause such ratio to equal the
 actual deferral ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next
 highest ratio. This process will be repeated until the actual deferral
 percentage test is passed. Each ratio shall be rounded to the nearest one
 one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%) of the Member’s Statutory
 Compensation. The amount of Deferred Cash Contributions (and Roth Deferred
 Cash Contributions) made by each Highly Compensated Employee in excess of the
 amount permitted under his revised deferral ratio shall be
 added together. This total dollar amount of excess contributions (“excess
 contributions”) shall then be allocated to some or all Highly Compensated
 Employees in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) below.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 The Deferred Cash Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee
 with the highest dollar amount of Deferred Cash Contributions shall be
 reduced by the lesser of (i) the amount required to cause that Employee’s
 Deferred Cash Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Deferred Cash
 Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar
 amount of Deferred Cash Contributions or (ii) an amount equal to the total
 excess contributions. This procedure is repeated until all excess
 contributions are 

 

22

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 allocated. The amount of excess contributions allocated to a Highly
 Compensated Employee, together with Earnings thereon, shall be distributed to
 him in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c). In the event a
 Member has made both Deferred Cash Contributions and Roth Deferred Cash
 Contributions for the applicable calendar year, the excess deferrals shall be
 first attributed to the Member’s Deferred Cash Contributions.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 The excess contributions shall first be treated as Catch-Up
 Contributions, to the extent possible under Section 3.02, or as Roth Catch-Up
 Contributions, to the extent possible under Section 3.04. Any remaining
 excess contributions, together with Earnings thereon, allocated to a Member
 shall be paid to the Member before the close of the Plan Year following the
 Plan Year in which the excess contributions were made, and to the extent
 practicable, within 21⁄2 months of the close of the Plan Year in which the
 excess contributions were made. However, any excess contributions for any
 Plan Year shall be reduced by any Deferred Cash Contributions and Roth
 Deferred Cash Contributions previously returned to the Member under
 Section 3.01 for that Plan Year.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.12

 	
 Contribution Percentage Test 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 With respect to each Plan Year, the Contribution Percentage for that
 Plan Year for Highly Compensated Employees who are Members or eligible to
 become Members for that Plan Year shall not exceed the Contribution
 Percentage for the preceding Plan Year for all Non-Highly Compensated
 Employees for the preceding Plan Year who were Members or eligible to become
 Members during the preceding Plan Year multiplied by 1.25. If the
 Contribution Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees does not meet the
 foregoing test, the Contribution Percentage for such Highly Compensated
 Employees for that Plan Year may not exceed the Contribution Percentage for
 the preceding Plan Year for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the
 preceding Plan Year who were Members or eligible to become Members during the
 preceding Plan Year by more than two percentage points (2%), and such
 Contribution Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan
 Year may not be more than 2.0 times the Contribution Percentage for the
 preceding Plan Year for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the
 preceding Plan Year who were Members or eligible to become Members during the
 preceding Plan Year (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Committee
 shall determine to satisfy the provisions of Section 3.13).

 
	
  

 
	
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may elect to use the
 Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current
 Plan Year being tested rather than the preceding Plan Year, provided that
 such election must be evidenced by a Plan amendment that complies with
 regulations under Section 401(m) of the Code.

 
	
  

 
	
 The Administrative Committee may implement rules limiting the
 After-Tax Contributions which may be made by some or all Highly Compensated
 Employees so that this limitation is satisfied. If the Administrative
 Committee determines that the limitation under this Section 3.12 has
 been exceeded in any Plan Year, the following provisions shall apply:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 The actual contribution ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with
 the highest actual contribution ratio shall be reduced to the extent
 necessary to meet 

 

23

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 the test or to cause such ratio to equal the actual contribution
 ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest actual
 contribution ratio. This process will be repeated until the actual
 contribution percentage test is passed. Each ratio shall be rounded to the
 nearest one one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%) of a Member’s Statutory
 Compensation. The amount of After-Tax Contributions made by or on behalf of
 each Highly Compensated Employee in excess of the amount permitted under his
 revised actual contribution ratio shall be added together. This total dollar
 amount of excess contributions (“excess aggregate contributions”) shall then
 be allocated to some or all Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with
 the provisions of paragraph (b) below.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 The After-Tax Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with
 the highest dollar amount of such contributions shall be reduced by the
 lesser of (i) the amount required to cause that Employee’s After-Tax
 Contributions to equal the dollar amount of such contributions of the Highly
 Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of such
 contributions, or (ii) an amount equal to the total excess aggregate
 contributions. This procedure is repeated until all excess aggregate
 contributions are allocated. The amount of excess aggregate contributions
 allocated to each Highly Compensated Employee, together with Earnings
 thereon, shall be distributed to the Member.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 Any payment of excess aggregate contributions shall be made before
 the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the excess
 aggregate contributions were made, and to the extent practicable, any payment
 shall be made within 21⁄2 months of the close of the Plan Year in which the
 excess aggregate contributions were made.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.13

 	
 Additional Discrimination Testing
 Provisions 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 If any Highly Compensated Employee is a member of another qualified
 plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, including an employee stock
 ownership plan described in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code but excluding any
 other qualified plan which must be mandatorily disaggregated under Section 410(b)
 of the Code, under which deferred cash contributions or matching
 contributions are made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee or under
 which the Highly Compensated Employee makes after-tax contributions, the
 Administrative Committee shall implement rules, which shall be uniformly
 applicable to all employees similarly situated, to take into account all such
 contributions for the Highly Compensated Employee made for the applicable
 Plan Year under all such plans in applying the limitations of Sections 3.11
 and 3.12.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 In the event that this Plan is aggregated with one or more other
 plans to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the
 Code (other than for purposes of the average benefit percentage test) or if
 one or more other plans is aggregated with this Plan to satisfy the
 requirements of such sections of the Code, then the provisions of Sections
 3.11 and 3.12 shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentage
 and Contribution Percentage of 

 

24

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 employees as if all such plans were a single plan. If this Plan is
 permissively aggregated with any other plan or plans for purposes of
 satisfying the provisions of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code, the aggregated
 plans must also satisfy the provisions of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of
 the Code as though they were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated under
 this paragraph (b) only if they have the same plan year.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 The Employer may elect to use Deferred Cash Contributions or Roth
 Deferred Cash Contributions to satisfy the tests described in Section 3.12,
 provided that the test described in Section 3.11 is met prior to such
 election and continues to be met following the Employer’s election to shift
 the application of those Deferred Cash Contributions or Roth Deferred Cash
 Contributions from Section 3.11 to Section 3.12 and provided further that the
 tests described in Sections 3.11 and 3.12 are both performed on either a
 prior year testing method or a current year testing method.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (d)

 	
 The Employer may authorize that special “qualified nonelective
 contributions” shall be made for a Plan Year, which shall be allocated in
 such amounts and to such Members, who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees,
 as the Administrative Committee shall determine, provided such allocation
 procedure complies with the applicable provisions of Treasury Regulation
 Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6). The Administrative Committee shall establish such
 separate accounts as may be necessary. Qualified nonelective contributions
 shall be 100% nonforfeitable when made. Qualified nonelective contributions
 made before January 1, 1989 and earnings credited thereon as of that date may
 be withdrawn by a Member while in service only under the provisions of
 Section 7.03. Any qualified nonelective contributions made on or after
 January 1, 1989 and any earnings credited on any qualified nonelective
 contributions after such date shall only be available for withdrawal under
 the provisions of Section 7.03. Qualified nonelective contributions made for
 the Plan Year may be used to satisfy the tests described in Sections 3.11 and
 3.12 where necessary. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (e)

 	
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if
 employees included in a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining
 agreement are participating in the Plan and not more than 2 percent of such
 employees are Highly Compensated Employees and professionals, then such
 employees shall be disregarded in applying the provisions of Section 3.11 and
 3.12. However, a separate actual deferral percentage test must be performed
 for the group of collective bargaining employees on the basis that those
 employees are included in a separate cash-or-deferred arrangement, provided
 such group contains at least one Highly Compensated Employee.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (f)

 	
 If the Employer elects to apply the provisions of Section
 410(b)(4)(B) to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k)(3)(A)(i) of the
 Code, the Employer may apply the provisions of Sections 3.11 and 3.12 by
 excluding from consideration all eligible employees (other than Highly
 Compensated Employees) who have not met the minimum age and service
 requirements of Section 410(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

 Maximum Annual Additions 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 The annual addition to a Member’s Accounts for any Plan Year, which shall
 be considered the “limitation year” for purposes of Section 415 of the Code,
 when added to the Member’s annual addition for that Plan Year under any other
 qualified defined contribution plan of the Employer or an Affiliated
 Employer, shall not exceed an amount that is equal to the lesser of (i) 100%
 of his aggregate remuneration for the Plan Year, or (ii) $49,000, as adjusted
 in accordance with Section 415(d) of the Code.

 (i)

 	
 The annual addition shall include all of the following amounts that
 have been allocated to the Member’s Accounts under this Plan or any other
 qualified defined contribution plan (including a deemed qualified defined
 contribution plan under a qualified defined benefit plan) maintained by the
 Employer or an Affiliated Employer:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 (A)

 	
 the total Employer contributions made on the Member’s behalf by the
 Employer and all Affiliated Employers;

 (D)

 	
 solely for purposes of the dollar limit under clause (ii) of
 paragraph (a) above, amounts described in Sections 415(1)(1) and
 419A(d)(2) allocated to the Member.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 The annual addition shall not include:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 (A)

 	
 Rollover Contributions;

 (C)

 	
 amounts required to be repaid under Section 6.03 as a condition of
 the restoration of a Member’s forfeited Employer Account balance;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 (D)

 	
 excess deferrals timely distributed from the Plan under Section

 Catch-Up Contributions (including Roth Catch-Up Contributions).

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 For purposes of this paragraph (b), any Deferred Cash Contributions
 or Roth Deferred Cash Contributions distributed under Section 3.11 and any
 After-Tax Contributions distributed under the provisions of Section 3.01,
 3.11 or 3.12 shall be included in the annual addition for the year allocated.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 For purposes of this Section, the term “remuneration” with respect to
 any Member shall mean the wages, salaries, and other amounts paid in respect
 of such Member by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer for personal
 services actually rendered, and shall include amounts contributed by the
 Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement which are not includible in
 the gross income of the employee under Section 125, 132(f), 402(g), 414(v) or
 457 of the Code but shall exclude other deferred compensation, stock options,
 and other distributions which receive special tax benefits under the Code.
 Effective January 1, 2008, remuneration shall also include amounts required
 to be recognized under the provisions of Section 1.415(c)-2(e) of the
 Treasury regulations. Remuneration shall not exceed the Annual Dollar Limit.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (d)

 	
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective for Plan Years beginning on and
 after January 1, 2008, to the extent that the annual additions to a Member’s
 Accounts exceed the limitation set forth in paragraph (a), corrections shall
 be made in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Employee Plans
 Compliance Resolution System as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2008-50 or any
 subsequent guidance.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.15

 	
 Return of Contributions

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 If all or part of the Employer’s deductions for contributions to the
 Plan are disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service, the portion of the
 contributions to which that disallowance applies shall be returned to the
 Employer without interest but reduced by any investment loss attributable to
 those contributions, provided that the contribution is returned within one
 year after the disallowance of deduction. For this purpose, all contributions
 made by the Employer are expressly declared to be conditioned upon their
 deductibility under Section 404 of the Code. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 The Employer may recover without interest the amount of its
 contributions to the Plan made on account of a mistake of fact, reduced by
 any investment loss attributable to those contributions, if recovery is made
 within one year after the date of those contributions. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 In the event that Deferred Cash Contributions made under Section 3.01
 (or Roth Deferred Cash Contributions made under Section 3.04) are returned to
 the Employer in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the elections
 to reduce Compensation which were made by Members on whose behalf those
 contributions were made shall be void retroactively to the beginning of the
 period for which those contributions were made. The Deferred Cash
 Contributions and 

 

27

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 Roth Deferred Cash Contributions so returned shall be distributed in
 cash to those Members for whom those contributions were made, provided,
 however, that if the contributions are returned under the provisions of
 paragraph (a) above, the amount of Deferred Cash Contributions and Roth
 Deferred Cash Contributions to be distributed to Members shall be adjusted to
 reflect any investment gains or losses attributable to those contributions.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.16

 	
 Contributions during Periods of Military
 Leave

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary,
 contributions, benefits, and service credit with respect to qualified
 uniformed service duty will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of
 the Code. Without regard to any limitations on contributions set forth in
 this Article 3, a Member who is reemployed and is credited with Vesting Service
 under the provisions of Section 1.54(b) because of a period of service in the
 uniformed services of the United States may elect to contribute to the Plan
 the Deferred Cash Contributions (including Catch-Up Contributions) and/or
 After-Tax Contributions that could have been contributed to the Plan in
 accordance with the provisions of the Plan had he remained continuously
 employed by the Employer throughout such period of absence (“make-up
 contributions”). On and after January 1, 2010, a Member who elects to make
 Deferred Cash Contributions and/or Catch-Up Contributions under this
 paragraph may further elect, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.04(a),
 whether those amounts shall be designated as Deferred Cash Contributions or
 Roth Deferred Cash Contributions. For purposes of determining the amount of
 make-up contributions a Member may make, his Compensation for the period of
 absence shall be deemed to be the rate of Compensation he would have received
 had he remained employed as an Employee for that period or, if such rate is
 not reasonably certain, on the basis of the Member’s rate of compensation
 during the 12-month period immediately preceding such period of absence (or
 if shorter, the period of employment immediately preceding such period). Any
 Deferred Cash Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions, Roth Deferred Cash
 Contributions, Roth Catch-Up Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions so
 determined shall be limited as provided in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 3.05,
 3.11, and 3.12 with respect to the Plan Year or Years to which such
 contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which payment is made. The
 make-up contributions may be made over a period not to exceed three times the
 period of military leave or five years, if less, but in no event later than
 the Member’s termination of employment (unless he is subsequently rehired).
 The make-up period shall start on the later of: (i) the Member’s date of
 reemployment, or (ii) the date the Employer notifies the Employee of his
 rights under this Section. Earnings (or losses) on make-up contributions
 shall be credited commencing with the date the make-up contribution is made
 in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 All contributions under this Section, other than make-up Catch-Up
 Contributions and make-up Roth Catch-Up Contributions made pursuant to this
 Section and Sections 3.02 and 3.04 respectively, are considered “annual
 additions,” as defined in Section 415(c)(2) of the Code, and shall be
 limited in accordance with 

 

28

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 the provisions of Section 3.13 with respect to the Plan Year or
 Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which
 payment is made.

 (i)

 	
 the Member’s account balance in his Accounts as of the immediately

 Right to Change Procedures 

 

The Administrative Committee reserves the right to change from time to
time the procedures used in valuing the Accounts or crediting (or debiting) the
Accounts if it determines, after due deliberation and upon the advice of
counsel and/or the current recordkeeper, that such an action is justified in
that it results in a more accurate reflection of the fair market value of
assets. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Article and
such new administrative procedures, those new administrative procedures shall
prevail.

 succeeding December 31, prior to January 1, 1998 such Member shall become
 vested with respect to an additional 25% of the value of such Matching
 Contributions until, on December 31 of the third calendar year following the
 year for which the Matching Contributions were made, such Member shall become
 vested in 100% of the value of such Matching Contributions made on his
 behalf. For purposes of this paragraph, the “value of Matching Contributions”
 shall mean the amount of Matching Contributions adjusted for an allocable
 share of earnings, losses and expenses in accordance with section
 5.01(a)(iv), as of each December 31. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), a Member shall be
 100% vested in, and have a nonforfeitable right to, his Employer Account upon

 Disposition of Forfeitures

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 Upon termination of employment of a Member who was not fully vested
 in his Employer Account, the non-vested portion of his Employer Account shall
 not be forfeited until the Member receives a distribution of the Vested
 Portion of his Accounts. If the former Member is not reemployed by the
 Employer or an Affiliated Employer before he receives such a distribution,
 the non-vested portion of his Employer Account shall be forfeited. Any
 amounts forfeited pursuant to this subsection shall be applied to reduce
 Employer contributions or to pay the expenses of the Plan not paid directly
 by the Employer. If the amount of the Vested Portion of a Member’s Employer
 Account at the time of his termination of employment is zero and the Member
 had not at any time made Deferred Cash 

 

33

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 Contributions to the Plan, the Member shall be deemed to have
 received a distribution of such zero vested benefit.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 If an amount of a Member’s Employer Account has been forfeited in
 accordance with subsection (a) above, that amount shall be subsequently
 restored to the Member’s Employer Account provided that:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 he is reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer and

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 he repays to the Plan during his period of reemployment and within
 five years of his date of reemployment an amount in cash equal to the full
 amount distributed to him from the Plan on account of his termination of
 employment. Repayment shall be made in one lump sum.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 In the event that any amounts to be restored by the Employer to a
 Member’s Employer Account have been forfeited under paragraph (a) above,
 those amounts shall be taken first from any forfeitures which have not as yet
 been applied against Employer contributions or used to pay expenses of the
 Plan not paid directly by the Employer, and if any amounts remain to be
 restored, the Employer shall make a special Employer contribution equal to
 those amounts.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (d)

 	
 A repayment shall be invested in the available Investment Funds as
 the Member elects at the time of repayment.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (e)

 	
 To the extent there are any forfeitures in the Acquired Forfeiture
 Account, such forfeitures shall be applied to offset Plan expenses under
 Section 11.04.

 (ii)

 	
 The Administrative Committee may determine the existence of immediate
 and heavy financial need in situations other than those described in (i)

 reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 In evaluating the relevant facts and circumstances, the
 Administrative Committee shall act in a nondiscriminatory fashion and shall
 treat uniformly those Members who are similarly situated. The Member shall
 furnish to the Administrative Committee such supporting documents as the
 Administrative Committee may request in accordance with uniform and
 nondiscriminatory rules prescribed by the Administrative Committee.

 requested withdrawal is necessary to satisfy the financial need described in
 paragraph (b). To demonstrate such necessity, the Member who requests a
 hardship withdrawal to satisfy a financial need described in (b)(i) above
 must comply with either (i) or (ii) as follows. The Member who requests a
 hardship withdrawal to satisfy a financial need described in subsection
 (b)(ii) must comply with (i) as follows

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 The Member must certify to the Administrative Committee, on such form
 as the Administrative Committee may prescribe, that the financial need cannot
 be fully relieved 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 (A)

 (B)

 	
 by reasonable liquidation of the Member’s assets, 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 (C)

 	
 by cessation of Deferred Cash Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions,
 Roth Deferred Cash Contributions, Roth Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax

 sufficient to satisfy the need. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
 The actions listed are required to be taken to the extent necessary
 to relieve the hardship but any action which would have the effect of
 increasing the hardship need not be taken. For purposes of this clause (i)
 there shall be attributed to the Member those assets of the Member’s spouse
 and minor children which are reasonably available to the Member. The Member
 shall furnish to the Administrative Committee such supporting documents as
 the Administrative Committee may request in accordance with uniform and
 nondiscriminatory rules prescribed by the Administrative Committee. If, on
 the basis of the Member’s certification and the supporting documents, the
 Administrative Committee finds it can reasonably rely on the Member’s
 certification, then the Administrative Committee shall find that the
 requested withdrawal is necessary to meet the Member’s financial need.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 The Member must request, on such form as the Administrative Committee
 shall prescribe, that the Administrative Committee make its determination of
 the necessity for the withdrawal solely on the basis of his application. In
 that event, the Administrative Committee shall make such determination,
 provided all of the following requirements are met:

 (C)

 	
 the limitation described in Section 3.01(b) under all plans of the
 Employer and Affiliated Employers for the calendar year following the year in
 which the withdrawal is made must be reduced by the Member’s elective
 deferral made in the calendar year of the distribution for Hardship.

 8.01

 	
 Eligibility

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 Subject to the following provisions of this Article 8, a Member who
 is an Employee of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer may borrow, on
 written application to the Administrative Committee and on approval by the
 Administrative Committee under such uniform rules as it shall adopt, an
 amount not in excess of the maximum loan amount determined in accordance with
 Section 8.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee
 may, in its sole discretion, deny a loan to a Member who is a director or
 executive officer (or the equivalent thereof) of the Employer or an
 Affiliated Employer based on a reasonable concern regarding the legality of
 the loan under Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 8.02

 	
 Amount Available 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 A Member who is an employee of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer
 may borrow, on written application to the Administrative Committee and on
 approval by the Administrative Committee under such uniform rules as it shall
 adopt, an amount which does not exceed the lesser of:

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 50% of the Vested Portion of his Accounts, or 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of loans to the
 Member from the Plan during the one year period ending on the day before the
 day the loan is made. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 8.03

 	
 Interest

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 Loans from the Plan shall be repaid with interest. For each Plan
 Year, the interest rate to be charged on loans shall be determined by the
 Administrative Committee and shall be one percent (1%) percent above the
 prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal as of the first
 business day of the Plan Year. The interest rate so determined for
 purposes of the Plan shall be fixed for the duration of each loan. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 8.04

 	
 Security for Loan

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 The amount of the loan is to be transferred from the Investment Funds
 in which the Member’s Accounts are invested to a special “Loan Fund” for the
 Member under the Plan. The Loan Fund consists solely of the amount
 transferred to the Loan Fund and is invested solely in the loan made to the
 Member. The amount transferred to the Loan Fund shall be pledged as security
 for the loan. Payments of principal on the loan will reduce the amount held
 in the Member’s Loan Fund. Those payments, together with the attendant
 interest payment, will be reinvested in the Investment Funds in accordance
 with the Member’s then effective investment election.

 (a)

 	
 In addition to such rules and regulations as the Administrative
 Committee may adopt, all loans shall comply with the following terms and
 conditions: 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (i)

 	
 An application for a loan by a Member shall be made in writing to the
 Administrative Committee, whose action in approving or disapproving the
 application shall be final. The Member shall certify in such application as
 to the existence and amount of any outstanding loans (including any loans
 deemed distributed) from any qualified plans maintained by the Employer and
 all Affiliated Employers.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (ii)

 	
 Each loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the
 Plan. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (iii)

 	
 The period of repayment for any loan shall be arrived at by mutual
 agreement between the Administrative Committee and the Member, but that
 period shall not exceed five years unless the loan is to be used in
 conjunction with the purchase of the principal residence of the Member, in
 which case that period shall not exceed 15 years, or unless the provisions of
 subparagraph (iv) provide otherwise.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (iv)

 	
 If a Member with an outstanding loan takes an authorized leave of
 absence without pay or reduced pay that is less than the required loan
 payments, for reasons other than to enter the uniformed services of the
 United States, loan payments may be suspended at the request of the Member,
 for a period of up to 12 months or until the end of the term of the loan, if
 earlier. Upon a Member’s reemployment from the leave of absence, the Member
 shall resume payments either in the same amount as before the leave with the
 full balance due upon the expiration of the repayment period or by
 reamortizing the loan in substantially level installments over the remaining
 term of the loan.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 (v)

 	
 If a Member takes a leave of absence to enter the uniformed services
 of the United States, loan repayments shall be suspended during the period of
 leave, upon approval by the Administrative Committee or its designee. Upon
 the Member’s reemployment from the uniformed services, the period of
 repayment shall be extended by the number of months of the period of service
 in the uniformed services or, if greater, the number of months that would
 remain if the original loan term were five years plus the number of months in
 the period of absence; provided, however, if the Member incurs a termination
 of employment and requests a distribution pursuant to Article 9, the loan
 shall be canceled, and the outstanding loan balance shall be distributed
 pursuant to Article 9. If a Member enters the uniformed services of the
 United States, the interest rate applicable to the unpaid loan balance during
 the period of leave shall be reduced to 6%, in accordance with the
 Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003. Upon a Member’s reemployment from
 the leave of absence, the Member shall resume payments either in the same
 amount as before the leave with the full balance due upon the expiration of
 the repayment period or by

 Individual Accounts 

 

The Administrative Committee shall maintain,
or cause to be maintained, records showing the interests in the Trust Fund of
all Members, former Members or Beneficiaries, and the individual balances in

 10.04 

 	
 Meetings 

 

The Administrative Committee shall hold
meetings upon such notice, at such place or places, and at such time or times

office. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.06

interpret the Plan (including, but not limited to, determination of an
individual’s eligibility for Plan participation, the right and amount of any

be a Member). The determination of the Administrative Committee as to the
interpretation of the Plan or any disputed question shall be conclusive and
final to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

50

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.08 

 	
 Prudent Conduct 

 

The members of the Administrative Committee
shall use that degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence that a prudent man
acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in his
conduct of a similar situation. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.09

the Employer shall not incur any liability individually or on behalf of any
other individuals or on behalf of the Employer for any act or failure to act,

or duty under Part 4, Title I of ERISA. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 10.11

 12.01 

 	
 Amendment of Plan 

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 The Employer, by action of its Board of Directors taken at a meeting
 held either in person or by telephone or other electronic means, or by
 unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting, reserves the right at any
 time and from time to time, and retroactively if deemed necessary or
 appropriate, to amend in whole or in part any or all of the provisions of the
 Plan.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 Amendments to the Plan that are required because of statute or
 rulings of a judicial body or are necessitated for administrative purposes,
 unless such administrative amendments have a material effect on the cost or
 benefit level of the Plan, shall be made by the Administrative Committee.
 Effective as of January 1, 2007, amendments to the Plan that reflect
 acquisitions shall be adopted by the Administrative Committee. All such
 amendments shall be submitted to the Board of Directors at their meeting
 following the adoption of such amendments.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 Notwithstanding any provision hereof, no amendment shall make it
 possible for any part of the funds of the Plan to be used for, or diverted
 to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of persons entitled to benefits
 under the Plan. No amendment shall be made which has the effect of decreasing
 the balance of the Accounts of any Member or of reducing the nonforfeitable
 percentage of the balance of the Accounts of a Member below the
 nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan as in effect on the date on
 which the amendment is adopted or, if later, the date on which the amendment
 becomes effective. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
12.02

 	
Merger, Consolidation or Transfer

 

The Plan may not be merged or consolidated
with, and its assets or liabilities may not be transferred to, any other plan
unless each person entitled to benefits under the Plan would, if the resulting
plan were then terminated, receive a benefit 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 if the Plan had then terminated. 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
12.03

 	
Additional Participating Employers

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 If any company is or becomes a subsidiary of or associated with an
 Employer, the Board of Directors may include the employees of that subsidiary
 or associated company in the membership of the Plan upon appropriate action
 by that company necessary to adopt the Plan. In that event, or if any persons
 become Employees of an Employer as the result of merger or consolidation or
 as the result of acquisition of all or part of the assets or business of
 another 

 

54

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 company, the Board
 of Directors shall determine to what extent, if any, previous service with the
 subsidiary, associated or other company shall be recognized under the Plan,
 but subject to the continued qualification of the trust for the Plan as
 tax-exempt under the Code.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 Any subsidiary or associated company may terminate its participation in
 the Plan upon appropriate action by it. In that event the funds of the Plan
 held on account of Members in the employ of that company, and any unpaid
 balances of the Accounts of all Members who have separated from the employ of
 that company, shall be determined by the Administrative Committee. Those
 funds shall be distributed as provided in Section 12.04 if the Plan should be
 terminated, or shall be segregated by the Trustee as a separate trust,
 pursuant to certification to the Trustee by the Administrative Committee,
 continuing the Plan as a separate plan for the employees of that company
 under which the board of directors of that company shall succeed to all the
 powers and duties of the Board of Directors, including the appointment of the
 members of the Administrative Committee.

Termination of Plan

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 The Employer, by action of its Board of Directors, taken at a meeting
 described in Section 12.01 or by unanimous written consent, Board of
 Directors may terminate the Plan or completely discontinue contributions
 under the Plan for any reason at any time. In case of termination or partial
 termination of the Plan, or complete discontinuance of Employer contributions
 to the Plan, the rights of affected Members to their Accounts under the Plan
 as of the date of the termination or discontinuance shall be nonforfeitable.
 The total amount in each Member’s Accounts shall be distributed, as the
 Administrative Committee shall direct, to him or for his benefit or continued
 in trust for his benefit. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 Upon termination of the Plan, Deferred Cash Contributions, with
 earnings thereon, shall only be distributed to Members if (i) neither the
 Employer nor an Affiliated Employer establishes or maintains a successor
 defined contribution plan and (ii) payment is made to the Members in the form
 of a lump sum distribution (as defined in Section 402(e)(4)(D) of the Code,
 without regard to subclauses (I) through (IV) of clause (i) thereof). For
 purposes of this paragraph, a “successor defined contribution plan” is a
 defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as
 defined in Section 4975(e)(7) or 409(a) of the Code (“ESOP”), a simplified
 employee pension as defined in Section 408(k) of the Code (“SEP”), a SIMPLE
 IRA plan as defined in Section 408(p) of the Code, a plan or contract that
 satisfies the requirements of Section 403(b) of the Code, or a plan that is
 described in Section 457(b) or (f)) which exists at the time the Plan is
 terminated or within the 12-month period beginning on the date all assets are
 distributed that accepts salary deferrals. However, in no event shall a
 defined contribution plan be deemed a successor plan if fewer than 2 percent
 of the employees who are eligible to participate in the Plan at the time of
 its termination are or were eligible to participate under another defined
 contribution plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer (other than a
 plan excluded under 

 

55

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 the prior sentence) at any time during the period beginning 12 months
 before and ending 12 months after the date of the Plan’s termination.

 option, not otherwise provided under the Plan, and 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (iv)

 	
 otherwise meets the requirements of Section 206(d) of ERISA, as
 amended, as a “qualified domestic relations order”, as determined by the
 Administrative Committee. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the amount
 payable to the alternate payee under the qualified domestic relations order
 is less than the applicable cashout amount described in Section 9.03(c) such
 amount shall be paid in one lump sum as soon as practicable following the
 qualification of the order. If the amount exceeds such applicable cashout
 amount, it may be paid as soon as practicable following the qualification of
 the order if the alternate payee consents thereto; otherwise it may not be
 payable before the earliest of (i) the Member’s termination of employment,
 (ii) the time such amount could be withdrawn under Article 7 or (iii) the
 Member’s attainment of age 50.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 (b)

 	
 A Member’s benefit under the Plan shall be offset or reduced by the
 amount the Member is required to pay to the Plan under the circumstances set
 forth in Section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 (c)

 	
 A Member’s benefit under the Plan shall be distributed as required
 because of the enforcement of a federal tax levy made pursuant to Section

 resulting from an unpaid tax assessment.

 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
13.02

 	
Conditions of Employment Not Affected by Plan

 

The establishment of the Plan shall not
confer any legal rights upon any Employee or other person for a continuation of
employment, nor shall it interfere with the rights of the Employer to 

57

discharge any Employee and to treat him
without regard to the effect which that treatment might have upon him as a
Member or potential Member of the Plan. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
13.03

 	
Facility of Payment

 

If the Administrative Committee shall find
that a Member or other person entitled to a benefit is unable to care for his
affairs because of illness or accident or is a minor, the Administrative
Committee may direct that any benefit due him, unless claim shall have been
made for the benefit by a duly appointed legal representative, be paid to his
spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom he
resides. Any payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities
of the Plan for that benefit. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
13.04

 	
Information

 

Each Member, Beneficiary or other person
entitled to a benefit, before any benefit shall be payable to him or on his account
under the Plan, shall file with the Administrative Committee the information
that it shall require to establish his rights and benefits under the Plan.

all employees similarly situated. The Administrative Committee reserves the
right to change from time to time the time and manner for making notifications,
elections or designations by Members under the Plan if it determines after due
deliberation that such action is justified in that it improves the

Electronic Provision of Notices to Members

 

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, any notice required to be distributed to Members, Beneficiaries
and alternate payees pursuant to the terms of the Plan may, at the direction of

permitted by, and in accordance with any procedures set forth in, applicable

Prevention of Escheat

 

If the Administrative Committee cannot
ascertain the whereabouts of any person to whom a payment is due under the
Plan, the Administrative Committee may, no earlier than three years from the
date such payment is due, mail a notice of such due and owing payment to the
last known address of such person, as shown on the records of the
Administrative Committee or the Employer. If such person has not made written
claim therefore within three months of the date of the mailing, the
Administrative Committee may, if it so elects and upon receiving advice from
counsel to the Plan, direct that such payment and all remaining payments
otherwise due such person be canceled on the records of the Plan and the amount
thereof applied to reduce the contributions of the Employer. Upon such
cancellation, the Plan and the Trust shall have no further liability therefore
except that, in the event such person or his beneficiary later notifies the
Administrative Committee of his whereabouts and requests the payment or
payments due to him under the Plan, the amount so applied shall be paid to him
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

Beneficiaries or alternate payees (as applicable) to direct or diversify the
investment of some or all of their Accounts, to obtain loans from the Plan, and
to obtain distributions (including in-service withdrawals) from the Plan. The
number and length of such suspensions and the imposition of such limitations or
restrictions shall be limited to the greatest extent practicable. Any
suspension, limitation, or restriction of rights under this Section shall
comply with all applicable law and any guidance issued thereunder and may be
imposed only if the Administrative Committee timely provides notice of the
suspension, limitation, or restriction of such rights, as required by Section
101 of ERISA, any guidance issued thereunder, and any other applicable law.

 during the period beginning August 25, 2005 and ending on February 28, 2006,

 Recontributed amounts shall be treated as Rollover Contributions pursuant to
 Section 3.08 of the Plan. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 14.05

 	
 Loan Amount. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (a)

 	
 Notwithstanding
 the otherwise applicable provisions set forth in Section 8.05 of the Plan,
 Plan loans to Members who are Qualified Individuals that are made after September 23, 2005 and before January 1, 2007,
 shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the total vested accrued
 benefits of the Member under the Plan as of the date of the loan. Any such
 amount may be secured by up to 100% of the Member’s vested Account
 balance in the Trust Fund. In no
 event shall the amount of any loan to any such Member exceed $100,000
 (reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance during the one-year period
 ending on the day before the loan was made over the outstanding balance of
 loans from the Plan on the day the loan was made). The maximum number of
 loans outstanding that any Member is permitted to have in accordance with the
 Member Loan Procedures shall not be increased as a result of the
 provisions of this subsection.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (b)

 	
 Repayment
 of Loans. A Member who is a Qualified Individual who has
 outstanding loans on or after August 25, 2005 with respect to which any
 repayment due date falls during the period beginning August 25, 2005 through
 December 31, 2006, may have such due date (or dates) delayed for one year.
 The suspension period shall be disregarded in determining the original five
 (5) year repayment date (or fifteen (15) year repayment date for principal
 residence loans). Loan payments must resume as soon as practicable after the
 end of the suspension period, and the term of the loan shall be extended by
 the duration of such suspension period. Repayments shall be appropriately
 adjusted with accrued interest to reflect the delay in the due date(s).

 14.06

 	
 Documentation
 Requirements. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 The Plan
 will not be treated as failing to follow procedural requirements for Plan
 distributions or loans otherwise imposed by the terms of the Plan, when such
 requirements are disregarded for Katrina related purposes, provided, however,
 that the Plan Administrator makes a good-faith effort to
 comply with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan
 Administrator shall make a reasonable attempt to assemble supporting
 documentation as soon as practical.

 Section 12.01(b) authorizes the
 Administrative Committee to adopt Plan amendments on behalf of the Company if
 they are required for administrative purposes and do not have a material
 impact on costs or benefit levels.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 Amendments to
 the Plan:
