FORM STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

(Non-Qualified Stock Option Grant to Executive Officers)

     THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of                     , by and between DEVELOPERS
DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and                     , an individual
(the “Holder”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide the Holder with an option to purchase                     
(                    ) Common Shares, $0.10 par value per share, of the Company (“Shares”), pursuant to the
Company’s                      (the “Plan”); and

     WHEREAS, the Holder desires to accept such option.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set forth, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Option. The Company does hereby irrevocably grant to the Holder, and the
Holder does hereby accept, the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase, at the option of the
Holder,                      (                    ) Shares at the exercise price per Share of                      and upon and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof and the Plan.

     2. Term of the Option; Vesting. The Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, once
vested, in accordance with the following schedule. If the Holder is then employed by the Company,
the Option shall vest as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Date	 	No. of Shares Vesting	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

Shares for which the Option has become exercisable shall be referred to herein as “Vested Shares,”
and Shares for which the Option has not become exercisable shall be referred to herein as “Unvested
Shares.” The Option shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date hereof and must be
exercised, if at all and to the extent exercisable, on or before such date and shall not thereafter
be exercisable, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, it shall be a condition to the Holder’s right to exercise the
Option with respect to any Vested Shares that there shall have been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or such other form as the
Company shall deem necessary) with respect to the Shares to be received upon exercise.

     3. Exercise. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Option shall be
exercisable from time to time by written notice to the Company (in the form required by the
Company) which shall:

 

 

	 	(a)	 	state that the Option is thereby being exercised, the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, each person in
whose name any certificates for the Shares should be registered and such
person’s address and social security number;
	 
	 	(b)	 	be signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the
Option and, if the Option is being exercised by anyone other than the
Holder, be accompanied by proof satisfactory to counsel for the Company of
the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option under the Plan
and all applicable laws and regulations; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	be accompanied by such representations, warranties or agreements
with respect to the investment intent of such person or persons exercising
the Option as the Company may reasonably request, in form and substance
satisfactory to counsel for the Company.

     As conditions to the exercise of the Option and the obligation of the Company to issue Shares
upon the exercise thereof, the proposed recipient of the Shares shall make any representation or
warranty to comply with any applicable law or regulation or to confirm any factual matters
reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel.

     Upon exercise of the Option and the satisfaction of all conditions thereto, the Company shall
deliver a certificate or certificates for Shares to the specified person or persons at the
specified time upon receipt of the aggregate exercise price for such Shares by any method of
payment authorized by the Plan.

     4. Termination of Employment. Subject to the terms of a Holder’s Individual
Agreement, if any, upon termination of the Holder’s employment with the Company, the Option will be
governed as follows:

     (a) Termination by Death. If the Holder’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate terminates by reason of death, the Option shall become immediately and automatically
vested and exercisable. If termination of the Holder’s employment is due to death, then the Option
may thereafter be exercised by the estate of the Holder (acting through its fiduciary) at any time
after the date of the Holder’s death (or as the Committee may specify after grant).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Option be exercisable after the tenth
anniversary of the date hereof.

     (b) Termination by Reason of Disability. If the Holder’s employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates by reason of Disability, the Option shall become immediately and
automatically vested and exercisable. If termination of the Holder’s employment is due to
Disability, then the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Holder or by the Holder’s duly
authorized legal representative if the Holder is unable to exercise the Option as a result of the
Holder’s Disability, at any time after the date of such termination of employment (or such other
period as the Committee may specify after grant). If the Holder dies before the Option is
exercised, any unexercised Option held by the Holder shall thereafter be exercisable by the estate
of the Holder (acting through its fiduciary) at any time after the date of the Holder’s death (or
such other period as the Committee may specify after grant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event will the Option be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of the date hereof.

     (c) Termination Without Cause After a Change in Control or 409A Change in Control.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of Section 12(a) of the Plan shall
be applicable regarding the Option only if, within                      years following a Change in Control
(or

 

 

409A Change in Control, if defined in the Plan), the Holder’s employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate is terminated without Cause.

     (d) Termination for Cause. If the Holder’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate terminates for Cause, the Option will be governed by Section 5(b) of the Plan.

     (e) Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Holder’s
employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates other than in the
circumstances described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 4, any Vested Shares at
the time of termination must be exercised by the Holder within three (3) months after the date the
Holder’s employment terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Option be
exercisable after the tenth anniversary of the date hereof. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, any Unvested Shares under the Option shall be forfeited upon termination.

     (f) Leave of Absence. If the Holder is granted a leave of absence by the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate, his or her employment will not be considered terminated, and he or she
will continue to be deemed an employee of the Company or Subsidiary or Affiliate during such leave
of absence or any extension thereof granted by the Company, Subsidiary or Affiliate for purposes of
the Plan.

     5. Transferability. The Holder may transfer the Option, during his or her lifetime
(a) to one or more members of such Holder’s family, (b) to one or more trusts for the benefit of
one or more of such Holder’s family, (c) to a partnership or partnerships of members of such
Holder’s family, or (d) to a charitable organization as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code,
provided that no consideration is paid for the transfer and that the transfer would not result in
the loss of any exemption under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with
respect to any Option. The Option and the Holder’s rights therein are also transferable by will or
the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended). The transferee of any Option will be subject to all restrictions, terms and conditions
applicable to the Option prior to its transfer.

     6. Taxes. The Holder hereby agrees to pay to the Company, in accordance with the
terms of the Plan, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld and
remitted by the Company with respect to an exercise of the Option. The Holder may satisfy such tax
obligation, in whole or in part, by (a) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the
Shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) the
Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes, or (b) delivering to the Company
Shares other than Shares issuable upon exercise of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) the
Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. The election, if any, must be
made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. If the Holder does
not make such payment to the Company, the Company shall have the right to withhold from any payment
of any kind otherwise due to the Holder from the Company, any federal, state or local taxes of any
kind required by law to be withheld with respect to an exercise of the Option or the Shares which
are the subject of such Option.

     7. Subject to the Plan. This Agreement is made and the Option evidenced hereby is
granted under and pursuant to, and they are expressly made subject to all of the terms and
conditions of, the Plan, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary. The Holder hereby
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and that the Holder has read and understands the terms
and conditions of the Plan. Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the Plan.

 

 

     8. Intent. The Option is intended to be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option and
not as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Option shall be construed and exercised consistent with such intention.

     9. Securities Law Compliance.

     (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Option shall not be
exercisable unless, at the time the Holder attempts to exercise the Option, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations have been complied
with. The Holder agrees that the Company may impose such restrictions on the Shares as are deemed
advisable by the Company, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to listing or
trading requirements. The Holder further agrees that certificates representing the Shares may bear
such legends and statements as the Company shall deem appropriate or advisable to assure, among
other things, compliance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.

     (b) The Holder agrees that any Shares which the Holder may acquire by virtue of the Option may
not be transferred, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Holder
unless (i) a registration statement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such Shares has become effective so as to
permit the sale or other disposition of such Shares by the Holder, or (ii) there is presented to
the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the sale or other
proposed disposition of such Shares by the Holder may lawfully be made otherwise than pursuant to
an effective registration statement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement
relating to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     10. Rights of the Holder. The granting of the Option shall in and of itself not
confer any right on the Holder to continue in the employ of the Company and shall not interfere in
any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Holder’s employment at any time, subject to
the terms of any employment agreement between the Company and the Holder. The Holder shall have no
dividend, voting or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares which are subject to
the Option prior to the purchase of such Shares upon exercise of the Option and the execution and
delivery of all other documents and instruments deemed necessary or desirable by the Company.

     11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Ohio, except to the extent otherwise governed by Federal law.

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have subscribed their names hereto as of the date first above
written.

adopted and established the Retirement Savings Plan for First
National Bank & Trust Company of Treasure Coast (the “Plan”) for the
exclusive benefit of its Eligible Employees. The Plan was thereafter
amended, and amended and restated in its entirety, from time to time.
Effective as of April 28, 2006, the name of the Plan was changed to
the Retirement Savings Plan for Employees of Seacoast National Bank.
Effective as of January 1, 2009, sponsorship of the Plan was
transferred to Seacoast National Bank (the “Company”). The Plan has
at all times been maintained as a plan meeting the requirements of
qualification under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”).
	 
	1.02	 	Amended and Restated Plan.
	 
	 	 	Effective January 1, 2009, the Plan is continued in an amended and
restated form as set forth in its entirety in this document. Certain
provisions of this Plan may have effective dates prior to or later
than January 1, 2009, and are noted accordingly.
	 
	1.03	 	Plan Governs Distribution of Benefits.
	 
	 	 	The distribution of benefits for all Participants (whether employed
by the Employer before or after the Effective Date) shall be governed
by the provisions of this Plan. Nevertheless, early retirement
benefits, retirement-type subsidies, or optional forms of benefits
protected under Code Section 411(d)(6) shall not be reduced or
eliminated with respect to such benefits that have already accrued
unless such reduction or elimination is permitted under the Code,
Treasury Regulations, authority issued by the Internal Revenue
Service, or judicial authority.
	 
	1.04	 	Purpose.
	 
	 	 	The purpose of this Plan is to encourage savings on the part of
Participants by allowing them to accumulate tax-deferred savings
while providing an incentive through matching contributions made by
the Employer. Further, the benefits described in the Plan are
provided for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their
Beneficiaries and this Plan shall be administered and interpreted in
accordance with such purpose.

ARTICLE 2

DEFINITIONS

Certain terms of this Plan have defined meanings that are set forth in this Article and that shall
govern unless the context in which they are used clearly indicates that some other meaning is
intended.

A defined term, such as “Retirement,” will normally govern the definitions of derivatives
therefrom, such as “Retire,” even though such derivatives are not specifically defined and even if
they are or are not initially capitalized. The masculine gender, where appearing in the Plan,
shall be deemed to include the feminine gender, unless the context clearly indicates to the
contrary. Singular and plural nouns and pronouns shall be interchangeable as the factual context
may allow or require. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the
word “here” shall mean and refer to the entire Plan and not to any particular provision or Section.

Account shall mean the Account established and maintained by the Committee or Trustee for
each Participant or their Beneficiaries to which shall be allocated each Participant’s interest in
the Trust Fund. Each Account shall be comprised of the sub-accounts described in Section 6.01.

Adjustment shall mean for any Valuation Date the aggregate earnings, realized or unrealized
appreciation, losses, expenses, and realized or unrealized depreciation of the Trust Fund since the
immediately preceding Valuation Date. For purposes of such adjustment, all assets of the Trust
Fund shall be valued at their fair market value as of each Valuation Date. The determination of
the valuation of assets and the adjustment shall be made by the Trustee and shall be final and
binding.

Affiliate shall mean any corporation that is a member of a controlled group of corporations
(as defined in Code Section 414(b)) that includes the Company; any trade or business that is under
common control (as defined in Code Section 414(c)) with the Company; any organization that is a
member of an affiliated service group (as defined in Code Section 414(m)) that includes the
Company; and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Company pursuant to regulations
under Code Section 414(o).

Authorized Leave of Absence shall mean any temporary layoff or any absence authorized by
the Employer under the Employer’s standard personnel practices provided that all persons under
similar circumstances must be treated alike in the granting of such Authorized Leaves of Absence
and provided further that the Participant returns within the period of authorized absence. An
absence due to service in the Armed Forces of the United States shall be considered an Authorized
Leave of Absence to the extent required by federal law.

Beneficiary shall mean:

	 	(a)	 	Unmarried Participants. For unmarried Participants, any individual(s),
trust(s), estate(s), partnership(s), corporation(s) or other entity or entities
designated by the Participant in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee to receive any distribution to which the Participant is entitled under the
Plan in the event of the Participant’s death. The Committee may require certification
by a Participant in any form it deems appropriate of the Participant’s marital status
prior to accepting or honoring any Beneficiary designation. Any Beneficiary
designation shall be void if the Participant revokes the designation or marries. Any
Beneficiary designation shall be void to the
extent it conflicts with the terms of a “qualified domestic relations order,” as
defined in Code Section 414(p).

2

 

	 	 	 	If an unmarried Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or if the designated
Beneficiary fails to survive the Participant and the Participant has not designated
a contingent Beneficiary, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Married Participant. A married Participant’s Beneficiary shall be his
Spouse at the time of his death unless the Participant has designated a non-Spouse
Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) with the written consent of his Spouse given in the
presence of a notary public on a form provided by the Committee, or unless the terms of
a qualified domestic relations order require payment to a non-Spouse Beneficiary. A
married Participant’s designation of a non-Spouse Beneficiary in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall remain valid until revoked by the Participant or until the
Participant marries a Spouse who has not consented to a designation in accordance with
the preceding sentence. A Spouse’s consent to the Participant’s designation of a
non-Spouse Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) must state the specific non-spouse
Beneficiary (including any class of Beneficiaries or contingent Beneficiaries) and the
particular optional form of benefit. The Participant may not subsequently substitute
another non-spouse Beneficiary or select another optional form of benefit without the
Spouse’s consent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Spouse may execute a
general consent that allows the Participant to subsequently change the designated
Beneficiary or optional form of benefit without Spousal consent, provided the Spouse
acknowledges that (i) the Spouse may limit consent to a specific beneficiary or a
specific optional form of benefit, and (ii) the Spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish
such rights.

For the purposes of this Section, revocation of prior Beneficiary designations will occur when a
Participant (i) files a subsequent valid designation with the Committee; or (ii) files a signed
statement with the Committee evidencing his intent to revoke any prior designations.

maintained by the Employer, reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash and
non-cash), moving expenses, deferred compensation (and for this purpose, benefits under a stock
option plan are “deferred compensation”) and welfare benefits (and for this purpose, worker’s
compensation payments of any type and severance pay of any type shall be considered to be “welfare
benefits,” but sick pay, short term disability and vacation pay are not considered to be “welfare
benefits”); and (iii) disregard any income exclusions under Code Section 3401(a) based on the

The annual Compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining allocations for any
Plan Year shall not exceed $245,000 as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with
Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. Annual Compensation means Compensation during the Plan Year or

described in subsection (a) above shall become a Participant in the Plan on the
later of (i) the first Entry Date coincident with or next following the date
the Eligible Employee has completed 90 days of employment or (ii) the date the

Plan shall not be contingent upon completion of such enrollment process.

	3.02	 	Year of Eligibility Service.
	 
	 	 	A Year of Eligibility Service is determined under the 1,000 Hours of
Service method. Accordingly, an Employee shall receive one Year of
Eligibility Service upon completing a twelve (12) consecutive month
period of employment during which the Employee earns at least 1,000

employer, the Committee shall determine whether and to what extent
employment with such prior employer shall be treated as Years of
Eligibility Service, the applicable Entry Date (or special entry
date) for such acquired employees, and any other terms and conditions
that apply to eligibility to participate in this Plan. Such terms
and conditions shall be set forth in an appendix to this Plan.
Except to the extent required by law, employees of an acquired
business that is not identified in an appendix shall be treated as
having first accrued an Hour of Service as of the date of the
Employer’s acquisition of such business.
	 
	3.05	 	Not Contract for Employment.
	 
	 	 	Participation in the Plan shall not give any Employee the right to be
retained in the Employer’s employ, nor shall any Employee, upon

additional Voluntary After-Tax Contributions shall be permitted under this Plan. Any
Voluntary After-Tax Contributions allocated to a Participant’s Account for payroll
periods prior to April 1, 2001 shall remain in such Participant’s Account until such
time as the Account is distributed to the Participant.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Non-elective Contributions. A Participant may contribute as a
Non-elective Contribution any amount the Participant elects to contribute to the Plan
under the Section125 Plan maintained by the Employer. Such amounts shall be allocated
to a Participant’s Salary Savings Contributions Account under the Plan.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Catch-Up Contributions. All Employees who are eligible to make Salary
Savings Contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of
the calendar year shall be eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions in accordance with,
and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such Catch-Up
Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the
Plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The
Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing
the requirements of Section 401(a)(4), 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or
416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such Catch-Up Contributions.
Catch-Up Contributions shall be deemed to be Salary Savings Contributions and/or Roth
401(k) Contributions for purposes of the Employer Matching Contribution provided under
Section 5.01 of the Plan.
	 
	 	 	 	The Plan will mirror a Participant’s election of Salary Savings Contributions and
Roth 401(k) Contributions during the Plan Year in determining the allocation of his
Catch-Up Contributions for the Plan Year between Salary Savings Contributions and
Roth 401(k) Contributions.

12

 

	 	(e)	 	Roth 401(k) Contributions. Except during periods of suspension as set
forth in Section 4.03, effective for pay periods beginning on and after September 1,
2009, a Participant may enter into a Contribution Agreement and elect to make Roth
401(k) Contributions to the Plan by means of payroll deduction. A Participant may
contribute as a Roth 401(k)
Contribution any whole percentage from 1% to 75% of his Compensation during any Plan
Year. The contribution limit of 1% to 75% of Compensation applies to both Salary
Savings Contributions under Section 4.01(a) and Roth 401(k) Contributions under this
Section 4.01(e). Thus, if a Participant elects to contribute 25% of Compensation as
a Roth 401(k) Contribution, the maximum Salary Savings Contribution would be 50% of
Compensation. The Plan Administrator may establish guidelines and rules in order to
effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.01(e).

	4.02	 	Elections Regarding Employee Contributions.

	 	(a)	 	Procedure for Making Elections. A Participant may enter a Contribution
Agreement with the Employer authorizing the Employer to withhold a portion of such
Participant’s Compensation as a Salary Savings Contribution during each pay period
and/or, effective on and after September 1, 2009, to withhold a portion of such
Compensation as a Roth 401(k) Contribution during each pay period. The election to
make Salary Savings Contributions and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions shall be effective
as of the first day of the Participant’s normal pay period after the Employer (or its
designee) receives the Contribution Agreement or as soon as administratively feasible
thereafter. The Committee may prescribe additional rules and regulations regarding the
manner and timing of the Participant’s election including a shorter or longer period of
required notice.
	 
	 	 	 	The automatic enrollment provisions that were effective under the Plan during the
2008 Plan Year were suspended effective as of the close of the day on December 31,
2008. However, each Participant who, on December 31, 2008, was making Salary
Savings Contributions to the Plan at the rate of two percent (2%) of his
Compensation under those automatic enrollment provisions shall continue to have
Salary Savings Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf at the rate of two
percent (2%) of his Compensation on and after January 1, 2009 until such as the
Participant elects otherwise.
	 
	 	 	 	A Participant may elect to make Non-elective Contributions and/or Catch-Up
Contributions to the Plan in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the
Committee from time to time.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Treatment as 401(k) Contributions.

	 	(1)	 	Pre-Tax Contributions. It is expressly intended that,
to the extent allowable by law, Salary Savings Contributions, Non-elective
Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions shall not be included in the gross
income of the Employee for income tax purposes and shall be deemed
contributions under a cash or deferred arrangement pursuant to Code Section
401(k).
	 
	 	(2)	 	Roth 401(k) Contributions. It is expressly intended
that, to the extent allowable by law, Roth 401(k) Contributions shall be
included in the Participant’s gross income for income tax purposes at the time
the Participant would have received the amount of the Roth 401(k) Contribution
in cash if the Employee had not made the election described in Section 4.02(a).

	 	(c)	 	Additional Limitations of Salary Savings Contributions, Non-elective
Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions. Salary Savings Contributions,
Non-elective Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions (but not Catch-Up
Contributions) shall be subject to the
limitations described in Section 12.01 (maximum dollar contribution limit), Section
12.03 (ADP nondiscrimination test), and Article 14 (Code Section 415 limit).

13

 

	4.03	 	Changes in Employee Contribution Percentage or Suspension of Contributions.

	 	(a)	 	Change of Contribution Percentage. A Participant may increase or
decrease the percentage of his Compensation contributed as an Employee Contribution at
any time by delivery of a new written notice to the Committee (or to its designee)
using such forms and/or procedures approved by the Committee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Suspension of Contributions. A Participant may suspend his Employee
Contributions at any time by properly completing a form using such procedures as
prescribed by the Committee. The suspension of Employee Contributions will be
effective on the first day of the Participant’s normal payroll period that begins after
the Participant submits his request to the Committee or its designee. A Participant
may resume making Salary Savings Contributions effective as of the first day of the
payroll period after the Participant submits his request to the Committee or its
designee. Employee Contributions automatically shall be suspended beginning on the
first payroll period that commences after the Participant is not in receipt of
Compensation, the Participant’s layoff, or the Participant’s Authorized Leave of
Absence without pay.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Other Rules.

	 	(1)	 	Section 9.03 describes the circumstances under which a
Participant’s Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions will
be suspended for a period of at least 6 months after the Participant receives a
hardship distribution.
	 
	 	(2)	 	In order to satisfy the provisions of Article 12 and Article
14, the Committee may from time to time either temporarily suspend the Employee
Contributions of certain Participants or reduce the maximum permissible
Employee Contribution that may be made to the Plan by those Participants.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Any reduction, increase, or suspension of Employee
Contributions described in this Section 4.03 shall be made in such manner as
the Committee may prescribe from time to time consistent with the provisions of
this Section.

	4.04	 	Deadline for Contribution and Allocation of Salary Savings Contributions.
	 
	 	 	Employee Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as such assets can be reasonably
segregated from the Employer’s general assets at the end of each regular pay period, but in
no event later than such deadline prescribed in Department of Labor Regulation
2510.3-102(b)-1 or any successor regulations.
	 
	4.05	 	Rollover Contributions.

	 	(a)	 	Without regard to any limitation on contributions set forth in this Article 4,
an Eligible Employee (even if such person has not yet become a Participant in the Plan)
shall be permitted, if the Committee consents (based on non-discriminatory criteria),
to transfer to
the Trustee during any Plan Year additional property acceptable to the Trustee,
provided such property was received by the Eligible Employee from:

14

 

	 	(1)	 	a qualified plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the
Code, including after-tax employee contributions,
	 
	 	(2)	 	an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code,
excluding after-tax employee contributions,
	 
	 	(3)	 	an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code that is
maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state or any agency or
instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state, or
	 
	 	(4)	 	an individual retirement account or annuity described in
Section 408(a) or 408(b) of the Code that is eligible to be rolled over and
would otherwise be includible in gross income.

	 	(b)	 	Such property described in subparagraph (a) shall be held by the Trustee in the
Eligible Employee’s Rollover Contribution Account, and the Eligible Employee’s Rollover
Account shall share in any Adjustment as provided in Section 6.02.
	 
	 	(c)	 	All such amounts so held shall at all times be fully vested and nonforfeitable.
Such amounts shall be distributed to the Eligible Employee upon Termination of
Employment in the manner provided in Article 8.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The fact that an Eligible Employee may make a Rollover Contribution pursuant to
this Section 4.05 shall not operate to make such person a Participant in this Plan for
any other purpose.

	4.06	 	Transfer Contribution.

	 	(a)	 	If the Committee consents (based on nondiscriminatory criteria), a trustee of
another Qualified Plan may transfer the account balance of a Participant held in such
other Qualified Plan to the Trustee of this Plan. After such transfer, the Trustee of
this Plan shall hold such transferred account balance in an account designated by the
Committee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Transfers from another Qualified Plan directly to this Plan shall be permitted
only if the transferred assets are acceptable to the Trustee and only if the transfer
will not adversely affect the tax qualified status of this Plan. On a
nondiscriminatory basis, the Trustee may refuse to accept a transfer if the transfer
will increase the administrative burdens of the Plan (including the addition of new
optional forms of benefit).
	 
	 	(c)	 	Information about the transferred assets and any limitations or conditions
imposed on sub-accounts held under the Plan shall be specified in an appendix to this
Plan. The Committee may amend such appendix without the consent of the Board or the
Employer.

ARTICLE 5

EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

	5.01	 	Employer Matching Contribution.

	 	(a)	 	Eligibility to Receive Matching Contributions with respect to Salary
Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions. Each Plan Year, the Employer
shall, or for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2009, may make an Employer
Matching Contribution on behalf of each Participant who has completed a Year of
Eligibility Service and who made Salary Savings Contributions and/or Roth 401(k)
Contributions during the Plan Year following his Matching Contribution Eligibility
Date. A Participant’s “Matching Contribution Eligibility Date” shall mean the Entry
Date coincident with or next following the later of (i) the date on which the Eligible
Employee completes one Year of Eligibility Service, or (ii) the date on which the
Eligible Employee becomes a member of the class of Eligible Employees. A Participant
shall not receive any Employer Matching Contributions on any Salary Savings
Contributions and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions made before his Matching Contribution
Eligibility Date or on any Salary Savings Contributions and/or Roth 401(k)
Contributions attributable to Compensation earned before his Matching Contribution
Eligibility Date.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Eligibility to Receive Matching Contribution with respect to Elective
Profit Sharing Contributions. Each Plan Year, the Employer shall, or for Plan
Years beginning after December 31, 2009, may make an Employer Matching Contribution on
behalf of each Participant who has completed a Year of Eligibility Service and who
elected to contribute his Elective Profit Sharing Contribution to the Plan for the Plan
Year.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Amount of Match.

	 	(1)	 	Match on Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k)
Contributions for 2009. Effective as of January 1, 2009, the rate of the
Employer Matching Contribution will be 25% of a Participant’s Salary Savings
Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year to the extent
those Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions do not exceed
4% of the Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year. This means that if a
Participant contributes 4% of his Compensation to the Plan during the Plan Year
as Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions, the amount of
his Employer Matching Contributions on those Salary Savings Contributions and
Roth 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year will be 1% of his Compensation for
the Plan Year. A Participant’s Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k)
Contributions for the Plan Year in excess of 4% of his Compensation for the
Plan Year will not be matched.
	 
	 	 	 	For a Participant whose Matching Contribution Eligibility Date (as defined
in Section 5.01(a) above) occurs during the Plan Year, the rate of the
Employer Matching Contribution on the Participant’s Salary Savings
Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year will be 25% of
the Participant’s Salary Savings Contribution and Roth 401(k) Contributions
for the Plan Year made after his Matching Contribution Eligibility Date to
the extent those Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions
do not exceed 4% of the
Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year earned after his Matching
Contribution Eligibility Date.

16

 

	 	(2)	 	Discretionary Match on Salary Savings Contributions and
Roth 401(k) Contributions for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2009.
Prior to the first day of each Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2009,
the Company may declare (but is not required to declare) a discretionary
Employer Matching Contribution for the following Plan Year. Such Employer
Matching Contribution shall be a percentage of the Salary Savings Contributions
and Roth 401(k) Contributions made by a Participant for such Plan Year, subject
to such overall limit as the Company may declare with respect to the Plan Year.
For a Participant whose Matching Contribution Eligibility Date (as defined in
Section 5.01(a) above) occurs during the Plan Year, the rate of the
discretionary Employer Matching Contribution, if any, on the Participant’s
Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year
will be determined based on the Participant’s Salary Savings Contribution and
Roth 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year made after his Matching
Contribution Eligibility Date. Such discretionary Employer Matching
Contribution, if any, shall be made in cash and allocated to the Account of
each eligible Participant during the payroll period or such other period
selected by the Company.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Match on Elective Profit Sharing Contribution. For the
2009 Plan Year, the Employer Matching Contribution made by the Employer with
respect to Elective Profit Sharing Contributions shall equal 100% of the
Participant’s Elective Profit Sharing Contributions that the Participant elects
to contribute to the Plan for such Plan Year. For Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 2009, if the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to make an
Employer Matching Contribution with respect to Elective Profit Sharing
Contribution, such Employer Matching Contribution shall be equal to a
percentage, as declared by the Company, of the Participant’s Elective Profit
Sharing Contributions that the Participant elects to contribute to the Plan for
the Plan Year. The matching contribution percentage shall be declared by the
Company if and when the Company decides to make a discretionary Profit Sharing
Contribution to the Plan. The Employer Matching Contribution shall be
allocated to the Participant’s Employer Matching Contribution Account within a
reasonable time after the end of the Plan Year or such other period determined
by the Company.

	5.02	 	Profit Sharing Contributions.

	 	(a)	 	Eligibility to Receive Profit Sharing Contributions. Each year, the
Company may elect to make a discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution to the Plan.

	 	(1)	 	A Participant shall not be eligible to receive an initial
Profit Sharing Contribution until he completes a Year of Eligibility Service
and satisfies the allocation requirements of subparagraph (2).
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Profit Sharing Contribution shall be allocated to the
Profit Sharing Account of each Participant who (A) has satisfied the
requirement of subparagraph (1) (if applicable), (B) has completed at least
1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year, and (C) is employed on the last
day of the Plan Year or who had a
Termination of Employment during the Plan Year on account of death,
Disability or Retirement.

17

 

	 	(b)	 	Non-Elective and Elective Profit Sharing Contribution. Fifty percent
(50%) of the Profit Sharing Contribution (the “Non-Elective Profit Sharing
Contribution”) shall be allocated to each eligible Participant’s Profit Sharing
Contribution Account in the same proportion that each such Participant’s Eligible
Compensation (as defined below) for the Plan Year bears to the total Eligible
Compensation of all such Participants for the Plan Year. The remaining fifty percent
(50%) may, at the election of the Participant, be distributed immediately to the
Participant in cash or be contributed to the Plan (the “Elective Profit Sharing
Contribution”). However, as is further described in Section 9.03(b)(1) of the Plan, a
Participant who has received a hardship withdrawal from the Plan within 6 months of the
date of Profit Sharing Contribution to the Plan cannot elect an Elective Profit Sharing
Contribution but instead must receive the remaining fifty percent (50%) in a cash
distribution. See Section 5.01(c)(2) regarding a matching contribution with respect to
Elective Profit Sharing Contributions.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Eligible Compensation. For purposes of this Section 5.02, “Eligible
Compensation” shall mean a Participant’s base wages (including commissions, but
excluding overtime, bonuses and incentives) received while a Participant in the Plan.
Eligible Compensation received during a Plan Year but prior to the time an Eligible
Employee completes a Year of Eligibility Service shall be excluded.

	5.03	 	Retirement Contribution.
	 
	 	 	Each year the Company may (but shall not be required to) make an
additional contribution annually to the Plan each Plan Year on behalf
of each eligible Participant. Such contribution shall be no more
than 2% (or such other percentage or amount as determined by the
Committee) of a Participant’s Eligible Compensation (as defined in
Section 5.02(c) above). Eligible Compensation received during a Plan
Year but prior to the time an Eligible Employee completes a Year of
Eligibility Service shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the
Retirement Contribution.

	 	(1)	 	A Participant shall not be eligible to receive an initial
Retirement Contribution until he completes a Year of Eligibility Service and
satisfies the allocation requirements of subparagraph (2).
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Retirement Contribution shall be allocated to the
Retirement Contribution Account of each Participant who (A) has satisfied the
requirement of subparagraph (1) (if applicable), (B) has completed at least
1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year, and (C) is employed on the last
day of the Plan Year or who had a Termination of Employment during the Plan
Year on account of death, Disability or Retirement.

	5.04	 	Qualified Non-Elective Contributions.
	 
	 	 	In the sole discretion of the Employer, an additional Employer
Contribution may be made to the Plan which shall be known as a
“Qualified Non-Elective Contribution.” Such contribution shall be
made in order to satisfy the requirements of Article 12, and shall be
allocated to the Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Accounts of
those Non-Highly Compensated Employees selected by
the Committee at the time such Qualified Non-Elective Contribution is made, or as soon
thereafter as possible.

18

 

	5.05	 	Form and Timing of Contributions.

	 	(a)	 	Employer Contributions shall be made in cash or in property acceptable to the
Trustee valued at the property’s fair market value on the date the property is
delivered to the Trustee. Employer Matching Contributions, Profit Sharing
Contributions and Retirement Contributions shall be delivered to the Trustee on or
before the date prescribed by the Code for filing the Company’s federal income tax
return, including authorized extensions.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Except as provided in this Section 5.04, all Employer Contributions shall be
irrevocable, shall never inure to the benefit of any Employer, shall be held for the
exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries (and
contingently for defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan), and shall be
held and distributed by the Trustees only in accordance with this Plan.
	 
	 	(c)	 	A contribution that was made by a mistake in fact or conditioned upon the
deductibility of the contribution under Section 404 of the Code shall be returned to
the Employer within one year after the payment of the contribution or the disallowance
of the deduction (to the extent disallowed) whichever is applicable. All contributions
made to this Plan are conditional upon the deductibility of such contribution under
Code Section 404.

	5.06	 	Forfeitures.

	 	(a)	 	Forfeitures shall first be applied to restore amounts previously forfeited
pursuant to Section 7.06(c). See Section 7.06 to determine when a forfeiture of a
Participant’s Account occurs.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If any forfeitures remain after the restoration of forfeitures described in
Section 5.06(a), such remaining forfeitures shall be applied to reduce Plan
administrative expenses and/or reduce Employer Contributions.

	5.07	 	Employment on Last Day of Plan Year.
	 
	 	 	To the extent necessary to comply with Code Sections 410(b),
401(a)(4) or any other applicable requirement, Employees who were not
otherwise eligible to receive an Employer Contribution shall be
deemed to be eligible. The Committee (in a nondiscriminatory manner)
shall determine which Employees may participate in the Plan, the
extent of such participation and the allocation of any Employer
Contribution.

19

 

ARTICLE 6

ACCOUNTS AND ALLOCATIONS

	6.01	 	Participant Accounts.

	 	(a)	 	Individual Account Plan. This Plan is an “individual account plan,” as
that term is used in ERISA. A separate Account shall be maintained for each
Participant, Separated Participant or Beneficiary, so long as he has an interest in the
Trust Fund.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Sub-Accounts. Each Account shall be divided (as appropriate) into the
following parts and sub-parts:

	 	(1)	 	The Salary Savings Contribution Account;
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Roth 401(k) Contribution Account;
	 
	 	(3)	 	The Employer Matching Contribution Account (which Account shall
be divided into two subparts — one subpart tracking Employer Matching
Contributions on Salary Savings Contributions and the second subpart tracking
Matching Contributions on Elective Profit Sharing Contributions);
	 
	 	(4)	 	The Profit Sharing Contribution Account (which Account shall be
divided into two subparts — one subpart tracking Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions and the second subpart tracking Non-Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions);
	 
	 	(5)	 	The Qualified Non-Elective Contribution Account;
	 
	 	(6)	 	The Rollover Contribution Account;
	 
	 	(7)	 	The Voluntary After-Tax Contribution Account;
	 
	 	(8)	 	The Retirement Contribution Account; and
	 
	 	(9)	 	The Transfer Contribution Account.

	 	 	 	In addition, the Committee may divide such sub-accounts into such additional
sub-portions as the Committee deems to be necessary or advisable under the
circumstances or to establish other accounts or sub-accounts as needed.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Value of Account as of Valuation Date. As of each Valuation Date, each
Participant’s Account shall equal:

	 	(1)	 	his total Account as determined on the immediately preceding
Valuation Date, plus
	 
	 	(2)	 	his Employee Contributions added to his Account since the
immediately preceding Valuation Date, plus

20

 

	 	(3)	 	his Employer Contributions added to his Account since the
immediately preceding Valuation Date, plus
	 
	 	(4)	 	his Rollover Contributions and Transfer Contributions since the
immediately preceding Valuation Date, minus
	 
	 	(5)	 	his distributions, if any, since the immediately preceding
Valuation Date, plus or minus
	 
	 	(6)	 	his allocable share of Adjustments.

	6.02	 	Allocation of Adjustments.

	 	(a)	 	The Adjustment for each Investment Fund shall be calculated as of each
Valuation Date. The Adjustment for a given Investment Fund shall be allocated to each
Account invested in such Investment Fund in the proportion that each such Account bears
to the total of all such Accounts. Such Valuation shall occur prior to the allocation
of Employer Contributions but after taking into account all distributions and all
Employee Contributions since the prior Valuation Date. Any Rollover Contribution or
Transfer Contribution made during the Plan Year shall be weighted to reflect the number
of full months such Rollover Contribution or Transfer Contribution was held in the
Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Committee may direct that expenses attributable to general Plan
administration be allocated among the Accounts of all Participants in proportion to
their Account balances.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Adjustment that is allocable to the Participant’s directed investment of
his loan shall be the interest payments made by the Participant with respect to such
loan since the immediately preceding Valuation Date.

	6.03	 	Investment Funds and Elections.

	 	(a)	 	Election of Investment Funds. Each Participant shall direct the
investment of his Account, following such procedures as may be specified by the
Committee (or its designee), to have his Account allocated or reallocated among the
Investment Funds.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Initial Investment Direction. A Participant’s initial investment
election must allocate his entire Account, together with all subsequent contributions,
for so long as the election remains in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
Eligible Employee who fails to make a proper investment election by the deadline
established by the Committee or its designee for such purpose shall be deemed to have
elected to allocate 100% of his Account in the default fund designated by the Committee
for such purpose from time to time. Each such default fund shall comply with the
requirements to be a “qualified default investment fund” under Section 404(c)(5) of
ERISA and the applicable regulations thereunder.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Subsequent Elections. Investment elections will remain in effect until
changed by a new election. New elections may be made by a Participant at any time in
the same manner as set forth in Section 6.03(a), and shall be effective as of the
Valuation Date immediately following delivery of the new election to the Committee (or
its designee). New elections may change future allocations to the Participant’s
Account, may reallocate between the Investment Funds any amounts previously credited to
the Participant’s Account, or may
leave the allocation of such prior amounts unchanged. Trust transactions reflecting
investment elections among the Investment Funds will occur as of the Valuation Date
that immediately follows the timely receipt of such investment election when such
allocation or re-allocation can be made and all Investment Fund values shall be
determined as of such dates.

21

 

	 	(d)	 	Investment Options. The Committee is authorized to select new
Investment Funds or to eliminate any Investment Fund as the Committee shall deem
appropriate from time to time. Any change in Investment Funds shall be noted in the
minutes of the Committee. The creation of an Investment Fund shall not be effective
until the Trustee has consented in writing to the creation of such new Investment Fund.
Any creation or deletion of an Investment Fund shall not be effective until such
change is communicated to Participants and new investment elections are solicited from
Participants, if appropriate.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Investment in the Company Stock Fund. Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Section 6.03, effective as of April 1, 2007, a Participant may not
allocate more than thirty percent (30%) of any new contributions to be made by him or
on his behalf under the Plan for investment in the Company Stock Fund. In addition, at
any time, a Participant may not elect to reallocate the investment of his Account in
such a manner that after the reallocation, more than thirty percent (30%) of his
Account is invested in the Company Stock Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

	 	(i)	 	If more than thirty percent (30%) of a Participant’s Account
was invested in the Company Stock Fund on March 31, 2007, such Participant will
not be able to direct any subsequent contributions into the Company Stock Fund
or reallocate any amounts previously credited to his Account into the Company
Stock Fund until the percentage of his Account invested in the Company Stock
Fund is less than thirty percent (30%).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If more than thirty percent (30%) of a Participant’s Account
was invested in the Company Stock Fund on March 31, 2007 and the Participant
fails to change his investment elections to reallocate any subsequent
contributions into an alternative Investment Fund for payroll periods beginning
on and after April 1, 2007, until the Participant’s Account satisfies the
requirements of subparagraph (i) above, or the Participant changes his
elections, whichever occurs earlier, such amounts will be invested in the
Investment Fund that, in the opinion of the Committee, best preserves the
principal amount of the Participant’s Account.

	6.04	 	Errors.
	 
	 	 	Where an error or omission is discovered in any Participant’s
Account, the Committee shall make appropriate corrective adjustments
as of the end of the Plan Year in which the error or omission is
discovered. If it is not practical to correct the error
retroactively, then the Committee shall take such action in its sole
discretion as may be necessary to make such corrective adjustments,
provided that any such actions shall treat similarly situated
Participants alike and shall not discriminate in favor of Highly
Compensated Employees.

22

 

	6.05	 	Valuation For Purposes of Distributions.

	 	(a)	 	For the purposes of Article 8, each Participant’s Account shall be valued as of

include any period of Authorized Leave of Absence or service in the military except to
the extent such service is required to be credited under applicable federal law.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Employment with Non-Affiliates or Predecessor Businesses. A
Participant shall not receive a Year of Vesting Service for any employment with an
Affiliate before it becomes an Affiliate including any period of employment with a
predecessor business prior to its acquisition by the Employer except to the extent
specifically set forth in an appendix to this Plan.

	7.06	 	Forfeitures.

	 	(a)	 	No Distribution of Account Prior to Break In Service. A Participant
who incurs a Termination of Employment but who does not receive a distribution of his
vested Account prior to incurring a Break in Service shall, upon incurring the Break in
Service, forfeit the non-vested portion of his Account. If the terminated Participant
resumes employment with the Employer prior to incurring a Break in Service, then the
Participant’s entire Account, unreduced by any forfeiture, shall become his beginning
Account on the date he resumes participation in the Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Distribution of Vested Account Prior to Break in Service. A
Participant who incurs a Termination of Employment and receives a distribution of his
entire vested Account prior to incurring a Break in Service, shall, upon such
distribution, forfeit the non-vested portion of his Account. A Participant who is not
vested in any portion of his Account shall be deemed to have received a distribution of
his entire vested account upon his Termination of Employment and the Participant’s
non-vested Account shall be immediately forfeited.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Repayment of Account; Restoration of Non-Vested Account. Except as
provided below, a Participant who is re-hired by the Employer shall have the right to
repay to the Plan the portion of the Participant’s Account that was previously
distributed to him. In the event the Participant repays the entire distribution he
received from the Plan, the Employer shall restore the non-vested portion of the
Participant’s Account. A Participant’s Account shall first be restored, to the extent
possible, out of forfeitures under the Plan in the Plan Year in which the distribution
was restored. To the extent such forfeitures are insufficient to restore the
Participant’s Account, restoration shall be made from Employer Contributions. A
Participant who was deemed to have received a distribution of his vested Account (see
subsection (b) above) shall be deemed to have repaid such vested Account if such
Participant is rehired before incurring a Break in Service.

25

 

	 	(d)	 	Restrictions on Repayment of Account. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Plan, a Participant shall not have the right to repay to the Plan the
portion of his Account
that was previously distributed to him after any of the following events: (i) the
Participant incurs a Break in Service before returning to employment, (ii) the
Participant fails to repay the prior distribution within five (5) years after the
Participant is re-employed by the Employer, or (iii) the Participant received a
distribution of his entire Account balance at the time of such earlier distribution.

	 	 	If the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, or the Plan is
amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the
computation of any Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage, or if the
Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a Top-Heavy
vesting schedule, each Participant with at least three (3) Years of
Vesting Service with the Employer may elect, within a reasonable
period after the adoption of the amendment, to have his
nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to
such amendment. The period during which the election may be made
shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted and shall end
on the later of:

	 	(a)	 	60 days after the amendment is adopted;
	 
	 	(b)	 	60 days after the amendment becomes effective; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the
Employer or Trustee.

DISTRIBUTIONS

	8.01	 	Commencement of Distribution.

	 	(a)	 	Distribution Following Termination of
Employment. A Participant’s Account shall be
distributed as soon as administratively feasible
following the Participant’s Termination of
Employment and the date the Committee receives
the Participant’s (or, if applicable, his
Beneficiary’s) written request for a
distribution. All distributions shall be made
on a pro-rata basis from a Participant’s
Account, to the extent applicable. Except as
provided in Section 8.01(b), the Participant’s
Account shall not be distributed without the
Participant’s (or, if applicable, his
Beneficiary’s) consent. This means that, unless
the rule set forth in Section 8.01(b)(i) below
applies ( in the case of a Participant whose
vested Account balance does not exceed $1,000),
a Participant who has a Termination of
Employment may elect (i) to commence
distributions from the Plan as soon as
administratively feasible following his
Termination of Employment in one of the forms
permitted under Section 8.3 of the Plan or (ii)
to defer his distributions to a date not later
than his Required Beginning Date (as defined in
Section 8.03(e)(5) of the Plan). Such a
Participant will be deemed to have elected to
defer his distributions to a date not later than
his Required Beginning Date if he does not elect
an earlier commencement of his distributions.

26

 

	 	(b)	 	Consent of Participant. A Participant’s (or, if applicable, his
Beneficiary’s) consent to a distribution of the Participant’s Account shall not be
required in the circumstances
described below, and the Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute the
Participant’s Account as provided below:

	 	(i)	 	Account does not exceed $1,000. If a Participant has a
Termination of Employment and the value of his vested Account balance does not
exceed $1,000, such Account shall be distributed to the Participant (or, if
applicable, to his Beneficiary) in a lump sum no later than ninety (90) days
after the end of the Plan Year in which such Termination of Employment
occurred. Solely for purposes of determining whether the Participant’s vested
Account balance does not exceed $1,000, the value of the Participant’s vested
Account balance shall include the portion of the Account balance that is
attributable to Rollover Contributions (and earnings allocable thereto).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Required Distributions. If a distribution is required
under Section 8.03 of the Plan (relating to required distributions under
Section 401(a)(9) of the Code), the Participant’s Account shall be distributed
as provided in Section 8.03of the Plan regardless of whether the Participant
(or, if applicable, his Beneficiary) consents to such distributions.

	 	(c)	 	Hardship Withdrawals; In-Service Distributions. A hardship withdrawal
will be paid to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible after the
Participant’s request is approved by the Committee. An in-service distribution will be
paid to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible after the Participant’s
request is approved by the Company.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Distribution upon Severance from Employment. A Participant’s Account
shall be distributed on account of the Participant’s severance from employment.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Direction to Trustee. The Committee shall issue directions to the
Trustee concerning the recipient and the distribution date of benefits that are to be
paid from the Trust pursuant to the Plan.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Establishment of Guidelines. The Committee may establish for
administrative purposes, uniform and nondiscriminatory guidelines concerning the
commencement of benefits.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Value of Account. See Section 6.06 for the method of determining the
value of a Participant’s Account prior to its distribution pursuant to this Article 8.

	8.02	 	Method of Distribution.
	 
	 	 	The Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant in
accordance with one of the following forms of payment selected by the
Participant. If a Participant elects to receive either a lump sum
distribution or installment payments pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or
8.02(b), and if any portion of the Participant’s Account is invested
in the Company Stock Fund, then the Participant may elect to receive
any or all of such portion invested in the Company Stock Fund in
whole shares of Company Stock, with cash paid for any fractional shares.

	 	(a)	 	Lump Sum Payment is a single lump sum payment of the Participant’s
entire vested Account. This is the normal form of payment under the Plan. If the
Participant does not elect otherwise, his Account shall be distributed in a single lump
sum.

27

 

	 	(b)	 	Installment Payment is a form of distribution where equal installments
are made over the Participant’s life expectancy, the Participant’s and his
Beneficiary’s joint life expectancy, or another period that does not exceed the joint
life expectancy of the Participant and his Beneficiary. Installment payments will be
made, at the Participant’s election, in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual
payments. A Participant who elects the installment form of payment will have the
following options:

	 	(i)	 	A Participant may, upon application to the Committee, request
that his entire Account be distributed in a lump sum payment subsequent to the
commencement of installment payments.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	A Participant who has elected to have installments paid over
his life expectancy or over his and his Spouse’s joint life expectancy may,
upon application to the Committee, and not more than once in any 12-month
period, request to have his and/or his and his Spouse’s joint life expectancy
re-calculated for purposes of determining the amount of his installment
payments, provided that such recalculation shall be made in a manner consistent
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-9. An election under this
paragraph shall not constitute an election to have the Participant’s life
expectancy recalculated for purposes of the minimum distribution rules in
Sections 8.03, and if the amount required to be distributed for the year under
Sections 8.03 exceeds the amount actually paid to the Participant or his
Beneficiary in installment payments under this Section 8.02(d), the difference
shall be paid to the Participant or Beneficiary in a single lump sum before the
date on which such payment is due.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	A Participant may, upon application to the Committee, request
a one-time withdrawal in a minimum of $10,000 from his Account balance.

	 	 	 	Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.03(b)(2), 8.03(d) and 8.03(f) of the Plan, a
Beneficiary shall have the same payment options as are available to the Participant
(as described above) with respect to the portion of the Participant’s vested Account
payable to the Beneficiary.

	8.03	 	Minimum Distribution Requirements.

	 	(a)	 	General Rules.

	 	(1)	 	Precedence. The requirements of this Section 8.03 will
take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All
distributions required under this Section 8.03 will be determined and made in
accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.
	 
	 	(3)	 	TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the
other provisions of this Section 8.03, distributions may be made under a
designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2)
of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of
the Plan that related to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

	 	(b)	 	Time and Manner of Distribution

28

 

	 	(1)	 	Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire
interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no
later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. All distributions shall
be made on a pro-rata basis from a Participant’s Account.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If
the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire
interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as
follows:

	 	(A)	 	If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the
Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, distributions to the
surviving Spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which the participant died,
or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would
have attained age 701/2, if later.
	 
	 	(B)	 	If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not
the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then except as provided
in Section 8.03(f), distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will
begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year in which the Participant died.
	 
	 	(C)	 	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 will be distributed by December 31 of
the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s
death.
	 
	 	(D)	 	If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the
Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies
after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving Spouse
begin, this Section 8.03(b), other than Section 8.03(b)(2)(A), will
apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

	 	 	 	For purposes of this Section 8.03(b)(2) and Section 8.03(d), unless Section
8.03(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the
Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If Section 8.03(b)(2)(D) applies,
distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required
to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 8.03(b)(2)(A).
	 
	 	(3)	 	Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s
interest is distributed in the form of a single sum on or before the Required
Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year distributions will
be made in accordance with Sections 8.03(c) and 8.03(d).

	 	(c)	 	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 will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the
lesser of:

29

 

	 	(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 will be
determined under this Section 8.03(c) beginning with the first Distribution
Calendar Year and up to an including the Distribution Calendar Year that
includes the Participant’s date of death.

	 	(d)	 	Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.

	 	(1)	 	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 will 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:

	 	(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 Beneficiary in
the year following the year of the Participant’s death,
reduced by one for each subsequent year.

30

 

	 	(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 will 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. Except as provided in Section 8.03(f), if the
Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a
Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for
each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s
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 Section 8.03(a).
	 
	 	(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 will 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 Section 8.03(b)(2)(A), this Section
8.03(d)(2)will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

	 	(e)	 	Definitions.

	 	(1)	 	Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is
designated as the Beneficiary under the Plan and is the designated beneficiary
under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-4, Q&A-1 of the

	 	(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

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 Section 8.03(b)(2). The Required
Minimum Distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year
will be made on or before the
Participant’s Required Beginning Date. The required minimum distribution
for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum

Distribution Calendar Year (the “Valuation Calendar Year) increased by the
amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the
account balance as of the 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. April 1 following the later
of the calendar year in which the Participant (i) attains age 701/2 or (ii)
incurs a Termination of Employment; provided however that for a Participant who
is a 5% owner (as defined in Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder), the “Required Beginning Date” shall mean April 1
following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 701/2.

	 	(f)	 	Election to Allow Participants or Beneficiaries to Elect 5-Year Rule.
	 
	 	 	 	Participants or Beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-year
rule or the Life Expectancy rule in Sections 8.03(b)(2) and 8.03(d)(1)(B) of the
Plan applies to distributions after the death of a Participant who has a Designated
Beneficiary. The election must be made no later than the earlier of September 30 of
the calendar year in which distribution would be required to begin under Section
8.03(b)(2) of the Plan or by September 30 of the calendar year that contains the
fifth anniversary of the Participant’s (or if applicable, surviving spouse’s) death.
If neither the Participant nor the Beneficiary makes an election under this
paragraph, distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 8.03(b)(2) and
8.03(d)(1)(B) of the Plan.

	8.04	 	Required Minimum Distributions for 2009.

Participant or Beneficiary for the 2009 calendar year shall be treated as follows:

	 	(a)	 	If the Participant or Beneficiary is scheduled to receive an annual minimum
required distribution payment for 2009 , no payment will be made unless the
Participant or Beneficiary elects to receive such payment for 2009.

32

 

	 	(b)	 	If the Participant or Beneficiary has no scheduled receive minimum required
distribution payments for 2009, but would have been required to receive a required
minimum payment for 2009, no payments will be made to the Participant or Beneficiary
with respect to these 2009 required minimum distributions unless the Participant or
Beneficiary elects to receive such payments.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the Participant or Beneficiary is scheduled to receive minimum required
distributions for 2009 on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis, such payments will

	8.05	 	Application for Benefits.
	 
	 	 	The Committee or its designee may require a Participant or Beneficiary to complete and file
with the Committee certain forms as a condition precedent to the payment of benefits. The
Committee may rely upon all such information given to it, including the Participant’s
current mailing address. It is the responsibility of all persons interested in
distributions from the Trust Fund to keep the Committee informed of their current mailing
addresses.
	 
	8.06	 	Distributions Pursuant to Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, a “qualified domestic relations
order,” as defined in Code Section 414(p), may provide that any amount to be distributed to
an alternate payee may be distributed immediately even though the Participant is not yet
entitled to a distribution under the Plan. The intent of this Section is to provide for the
distribution of benefits to an alternate payee as permitted by Treasury Regulation
1.401(a)-13(g)(3). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the
total amount payable to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order does
not exceed $1,000, the only payment option available to the alternate payee shall be a lump
sum payment.
	 
	8.07	 	Direct Transfer of Account to an Eligible Retirement Plan.

	 	(a)	 	In General. If a Participant is entitled to a distribution of his
Account, the Participant may elect to have all or part of such Distribution paid
directly to an “Eligible Retirement Plan” in the form of a direct rollover.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Election. The Participant must make the election described in
paragraph (a) above within ninety (90) but no later than thirty (30) days (7 if the
Participant executes the appropriate waiver) prior to his benefit commencement date in
the manner and on the form provided by the Committee. The Participant must provide all
information requested by the Committee for the Trustee to make the transfer. Failure
to provide such information will void the Participant’s election.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Definition of Eligible Retirement Plan. The term “Eligible Retirement
Plan” shall mean:

	 	(i)	 	an eligible retirement account described in Section 408(a) of
the Code;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an eligible retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of
the Code (other than an endowment contract);
	 
	 	(iii)	 	an employees’ trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code
that is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code;

33

 

	 	(v)	 	an eligible deferred compensation plan under Section 457(b) of
the Code that is maintained by a state, political subdivision or a state or any
agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state; or
	 
	 	(vi)	 	an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code.

	 	 	 	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 relations order, as defined in Section
414(p) of the Code.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Exceptions. The Committee is not required to offer a direct transfer
of a Participant’s Account if:

	 	(i)	 	The distribution is a series of substantially equal periodic
payments made at least annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the
Participant or for the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Participant and his Beneficiary;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The distribution is a series of substantially equal periodic
payments made at least annually for a period of at least ten years;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The distribution is required under Section 409(a) of the Code
(a required minimum distribution);
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The distribution is made upon the hardship of the Employee; or
	 
	 	(v)	 	The distribution is less than $200 in a lump sum form (or any
higher amount as established by the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable
authority) and withholding is therefore not required.

	 	(e)	 	Income Tax Withholding. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the Committee
is generally required to withhold for federal income taxes on a distribution made
directly to a Participant. Federal income tax withholding is not required for any
direct transfer of a Participant’s Account to an Eligible Retirement Plan or for any
distribution described in paragraph (d) above.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Rollovers of After-Tax Employee Contributions. For purposes of the
direct rollover provisions in this Section 8.07 of the Plan, a portion of the
distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the
portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross
income. However, such portion may be transferred only to (i) an individual retirement
account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or (ii) a qualified
defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code or an annuity
described in Section 403(b) of the Code, and such plan or trust agrees to separately
account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of
such distribution that is not so includable.

34

 

	 	(g)	 	Rollovers of Roth 401(k) Contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 8.07, a direct rollover of a distribution from a
Participant’s Roth 401(k) Contribution Account under the Plan will only be made to
another Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in
Section 402A(e)(1) of the Code or to a Roth IRA described in Section 408A of the Code,
and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Section 402(c) of
the Code.

	8.08	 	Direct Trust-to-Trust Transfers by Non-Spouse Beneficiaries.
	 
	 	 	Effective January 1, 2009, a non-spouse Beneficiary may elect, at the time and in the manner
prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of a distribution from the Plan paid
directly to an “Individual Retirement Plan” specified by the non-spouse Beneficiary in a
direct trustee-to-trustee transfer. For this purpose, the term “Individual Retirement Plan”
shall mean an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code or an
individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code (other than an
endowment contract) that is established for the purpose of receiving the distribution on
behalf of an individual who is designated as a Beneficiary and who is not the surviving
spouse of the Participant. This transfer shall be treated as an “eligible rollover
distribution” for purposes of Section 402(c) of the Code and, for Plan Years beginning on
and after January 1, 2010, for all purposes of the Code.

ARTICLE 9

	 	(ii)	 	Roth 401(k) Contribution Account
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Elective Profit Sharing Contribution portion of his Profit
Sharing Contribution Account, provided the Participant is 100% vested in this

	 	(vii)	 	Rollover Contribution Account; and
	 
	 	(viii)	 	Employer Matching Contributions on Elective Profit Sharing Contributions,
provided the Participant is 100% vested in this sub-account.

	 	 	 	Such Account shall be valued in accordance with Section 9.05. Distributions shall
be made on a pro-rata basis from each of the Participant’s sub-accounts listed
above.

35

 

	 	(b)	 	No Distribution of Earnings. Notwithstanding the above, income or gain
that is allocated to a Participant’s Salary Savings Contribution Account, his Roth
401(k) Contribution Account and to the Participant’s Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions held in his Profit Sharing Contribution Account may not be distributed in
a hardship withdrawal.

	9.02	 	Definition of Hardship.
	 
	 	 	Hardship shall mean an immediate and heavy financial need experienced by reason of:

	 	(a)	 	Expenses of any accident or sickness of such Participant, his Spouse or any
individual (including non-custodial children of the Participant) claimed as a dependent

and (d)(1)(B) of the Code) by the Participant for federal income tax purposes;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Purchase of a primary residence of such Participant;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next twelve months of
post-secondary education for the Participant, for the Spouse, a child of the
Participant or for an individual claimed as a dependent (as defined in Section 152 of
the Code, without regard to Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) of the Code) by
the Participant for federal income tax purposes;
	 
	 	(d)	 	The need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his primary residence
or foreclosure on the Participant’s primary residence;
	 
	 	(e)	 	Payment of funeral expenses for a deceased parent, Spouse, or child of the
Participant or individual claimed as a dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the
Code, without regard to Section 152(d)(1)(B) of the Code) by the Participant for
federal income tax purposes;
	 
	 	(f)	 	Payment of expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s primary
residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Section 165 of the Code
(determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of the Participant’s
adjusted gross income); or
	 
	 	(g)	 	Other financial hardships as permitted by Treasury Regulations or other
regulatory or judicial authority and approved by the Committee.

	9.03	 	Maximum Hardship Distribution.
	 
	 	 	A hardship distribution cannot exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial
need created by the hardship (after taking into account applicable federal, state, or local
income taxes and penalties) and not reasonably available from other resources of the
Participant. In order to ensure compliance with this requirement, the Committee may require
the Participant to satisfy any or all of the provisions described below in (1), (2), or (3)
below as a condition precedent to the Participant receiving a hardship distribution:

36

 

	 	(a)	 	No Other Sources Available. Certification by the Participant on a form
provided by the Committee for such purpose that the financial need cannot be relieved
(1) through reimbursement or payment by insurance; (2) by reasonable liquidation of the
Participant’s assets; (3) by ceasing Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 40(k)
Contributions under the Plan; (4) by other in-service distributions (including loans)
under the Plan and under any other plan maintained by the Employer; or (5) by borrowing
from commercial lenders on reasonable commercial terms.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Receipt of All Distributions Available; Suspension of Future
Contributions. Receipt by the Participant of all distributions that he is eligible
to receive under this Plan and under any other plan maintained by the Employer.
	 
	 	 	 	In addition, the Participant must agree to the following limitations and
restrictions:

	 	(1)	 	The Participant’s Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k)
Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions shall automatically be
suspended beginning on the first payroll period that commences after such
Participant requests and receives a hardship distribution. Such Participant
may resume making Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and
Elective Profit Sharing Contributions to the Plan at any time after 6 months
have expired since the effective date of such suspension.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Participant shall be prohibited under a legally enforceable
agreement from making an Employee contribution to any other plan maintained by
the Employer for at least 6 months after the receipt of the hardship
distribution. For this purpose, the phrase “any other plan” includes all

and stock purchase plans. It does not include a health or welfare plan
including one that is part of a Section 125 cafeteria plan.

	 	(c)	 	Other. Any other condition or method approved by the Internal Revenue
Service.

	9.04	 	Procedure to Request Hardship.
	 
	 	 	The request to receive a hardship distribution shall be made in

repay to the Plan the amount of any hardship withdrawal by a
Participant under this Section.
	 
	9.05	 	Valuation for Purposes of Withdrawals.
	 
	 	 	The Participant’s Account for purposes of determining the amount of a
hardship withdrawal or in-service distribution shall be determined as
of the Valuation Date preceding (i) the date on which the Committee
approves the hardship withdrawal or (ii) the date on which the
Company approves the in-service distribution.
	 
	9.06	 	Age 591/2 In-Service Distributions.

	 	(a)	 	A Participant who has not terminated employment may, at any time after
attaining age 591/2, elect to withdraw all or part of his vested Account (including any
earnings thereon).
A distribution shall be made no earlier than the month following the calendar month
in which the Participant attains age 591/2. Distributions shall be made on a pro-rata
basis from each of the Participant’s vested sub-accounts listed in Section 6.01.

37

 

	 	(b)	 	A Participant who receives an age 591/2 withdrawal shall not be suspended from
continuing or commencing to make (in accordance with the Plan) Salary Savings
contributions to the Plan.
	 
	 	(c)	 	No in-service withdrawal will be permitted unless the amount to be withdrawn is
at least $1,000 (or the entire amount available for withdrawal, if less).
	 
	 	(d)	 	In no event shall a Participant be permitted to repay the amount of his
in-service withdrawal.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Committee may establish additional uniform and nondiscriminatory
administrative procedures concerning requests for in-service withdrawals.

ARTICLE 10

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

	10.01	 	Named Fiduciaries.
	 
	 	 	The following parties are named as Fiduciaries of the Plan and shall

	 	(b)	 	The Board;
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Trustee; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Committee.

	 	 	The Fiduciaries named above shall have only the powers and duties expressly allocated to
them in the Plan and in the Trust Agreement and shall have no other powers and duties in
respect of the Plan; provided, however, that if a power or responsibility is not expressly
allocated to a specific named fiduciary, the power or responsibility shall be that of the

acts and omissions of any other Fiduciary in the exercise of powers or the discharge of
responsibilities assigned to such other Fiduciary under this Plan or the Trust Agreement.
	 
	10.02	 	Board of Directors.
	 
	 	 	The Board shall have the following powers and duties with respect to the Plan:

	 	(a)	 	The Board shall have the power to appoint and remove the Trustee and the

	 	(a)	 	A committee of one or more individuals may be appointed by and serve at the
discretion of the Board to administer the Plan. Any Participant, officer, or director
of the Employer shall be eligible to be appointed a member of the Committee and all
members shall serve as such without compensation. Upon termination of his employment
with the Employer, or upon ceasing to be an officer or director, if not an employee, a
member of the Committee automatically shall cease to be a member of the Committee. The
Board shall have the right to remove any member of the Committee at any time, with or
without cause. A member may resign at any time by giving written notice to the
Committee and the Board. If a vacancy in the Committee should occur, a successor may
be appointed by the Board. The Committee shall by written notice keep the Trustee
notified of current membership of the Committee, its officers and agents. The
Committee shall furnish the Trustee a certified signature card for each member of the
Committee and for all purposes hereunder the Trustee shall be conclusively entitled to
rely upon such certified signatures. If there are no members of the Committee, the
Company shall assume the authority, powers, duties and privileges of the Committee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Board or the Chief Executive Officer shall appoint a Chairman and a
Secretary from among the members of the Committee. All resolutions, determinations and
other actions shall be by a majority vote of all members of the Committee. The
Committee may appoint such agents, who need not be members of the Committee, as it
deems necessary for the effective performance of its duties, and may delegate to such
agents such powers and duties, whether ministerial or discretionary, as the Committee
deems expedient or appropriate. The compensation of such agents shall be fixed by the
Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall compensation be paid if such
payment violates the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and is not exempted from such
prohibitions by Section 408 of ERISA.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Committee shall have complete control of the administration of the Plan
with all powers necessary to enable it to properly carry out the provisions of the
Plan. In addition to all implied powers and responsibilities necessary to carry out
the objectives of the Plan and to comply with the requirements of ERISA, the Committee
shall have the following specific powers and responsibilities:

	 	(1)	 	To construe the Plan and Trust Agreement and to determine all
questions arising in the administration, interpretation and operation of the
Plan;
	 
	 	(2)	 	To decide all questions relating to the eligibility of
Employees to participate in the benefits of the Plan and Trust Agreement;
	 
	 	(3)	 	To determine the benefits of the Plan to which any Participant,
Beneficiary or other person may be entitled;
	 
	 	(4)	 	To keep records of all acts and determinations of the
Committee, and to keep all such records, books of accounts, data and other
documents as may be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan;

39

 

	 	(5)	 	To prepare and distribute to all Plan Participants and
Beneficiaries information concerning the Plan and their rights under the Plan,
including, but not limited to, all information that is required to be
distributed by ERISA, the regulations thereunder, or by any other applicable
law;
	 
	 	(6)	 	To file with the Secretary of Labor such reports and additional
documents as may be required by ERISA and regulations issued thereunder,
including, but not limited to, summary plan description, modifications and
changes, annual reports, terminal reports and supplementary reports;
	 
	 	(7)	 	To file with the Secretary of the Treasury all reports and
information required to be filed by the Code, ERISA and regulations issued
under each; and
	 
	 	(8)	 	To do all things necessary to operate and administer the Plan
in accordance with its provisions and in compliance with applicable provisions
of federal law.

	 	(d)	 	To enable the Committee to perform its functions, the Employer shall supply
full and timely information of all matters relating to the compensation and length of
service of all Participants, their Retirement, death or other cause of termination of
employment, and such other pertinent facts as the Committee may require. The Committee
shall advise the Trustee of such facts and issue to the Trustee such instructions as
may be required by the Trustee in the administration of the Plan. The Committee and
the Employer shall be entitled to rely upon all certificates and reports made by a
Certified Public Accountant selected or approved by the Employer. The Committee, the
Employer and its officers shall be fully protected in respect of any action suffered by
them in good faith in reliance upon the advice or opinion of any accountant or
attorney, and all action so taken or suffered shall be conclusive upon each of them and
upon all other persons interested in the Plan.

	10.05	 	Standard of Fiduciary Duty.
	 
	 	 	Any Fiduciary, or any person designated by a Fiduciary to carry out
fiduciary responsibilities with respect to the Plan, shall discharge
his duties solely in the interests of the Participants and
Beneficiaries for the exclusive purpose of providing them with
benefits and defraying the reasonable expenses of administering the
Plan. Any Fiduciary shall discharge his duties with the care,
skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar
with such matter would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like
character and with like aims. Any Fiduciary shall discharge his
duties in accordance with the documents and instruments governing
the Plan insofar as such documents and instruments are consistent
with the provisions of ERISA. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of the Plan, no Fiduciary shall be authorized to engage in any
transaction that is prohibited by Sections 406 and 2003(a) of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code in the performance of its duties
hereunder.
	 
	10.06	 	Claims Procedure.

40

 

	 	(a)	 	Claims. If a Participant has any grievance, complaint, or claim
concerning any aspect of the operation or administration of the Plan or Trust,
including but not limited to claims for benefits and complaints concerning the
performance or administration of the investments of Plan assets (collectively referred
to herein as “claim” or “claims”), the Participant shall submit the claim to the
Committee, which shall have the initial responsibility for deciding the claim. All
such claims shall be submitted in writing and shall set forth the relief requested and
the reasons the relief should be granted. All such claims must be submitted within the
“applicable limitations period.” The “applicable limitations period” shall be two
years, beginning on:

	 	(i)	 	in the case of any lump-sum payment, the date on which the
payment was made,
	 
	 	(ii)	 	in the case of an installment payment, the date of the first in
the series of payments, or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	for all other claims, the date on which the action complained
or grieved of occurred.

	 	 	 	To the extent that documentary or other evidence is relevant to the relief sought,
the Participant shall submit such evidence or, if the evidence is in the possession
of the Committee, the Participant shall refer to such evidence in a manner
sufficient to allow the Committee to identify and locate such evidence.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Denial of Claims. If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the
Committee shall give the claimant written notice of the decision within ninety (90)
days of the date the claim was submitted. Such written notice shall set forth in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

	 	(1)	 	the specific reason or reasons for the denial;
	 
	 	(2)	 	specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
denial is based;
	 
	 	(3)	 	a description of any additional material or information
necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim, along with an explanation of
why such material or information is necessary; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	appropriate information about the steps to be taken if the
claimant wishes to submit the claim for review of the denial. The ninety-day
period for review of a claim for benefits may be extended for an additional
ninety (90) days by a written notice to the claimant setting forth the reason
for the extension. If the Committee fails to respond to a claim within the
time limits set forth above, the claim shall be deemed denied and the
Participant may request review by the Committee as set forth in Section
10.06(c).

	 	(c)	 	Appeals Procedure. If a claim is denied in whole or in part or if the
claimant has no response to such claim within ninety (90) days of its submission (in
which case the claim for benefits shall be deemed to be denied), the claimant or his
duly authorized representative may appeal the denial to the Committee within sixty (60)
days of receipt of written notice of denial or within sixty (60) days of the expiration
of the ninety-day period. In pursuing his appeal, the claimant or his duly authorized
representative:

	 	(i)	 	shall request in writing that the Committee review the denial;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	shall review pertinent documents; and

41

 

	 	(iii)	 	shall submit evidence as well as written issues, comments or
arguments.

	 	 	 	The decision on review shall be made within sixty (60) days of receipt of the
request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not
later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. If such an extension
of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the
claimant before the end of the original sixty-day period. The decision on review
shall be made in writing, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood
by the claimant, and shall include specific references to the provision of the plan
on which the denial is based. If the decision on review is not furnished within the
time specified above, the claim shall be deemed denied on review. The decision
shall be final and conclusive and a Participant shall not be permitted to bring suit
at law or in equity on a claim without first exhausting the remedies available
hereunder. No action at law or in equity to recover under this Plan shall be
commenced later than one year from the date of the decision on review (or if no
decision is furnished within 120 days of receipt of the request for review, the
120th day after receipt of the request for review).

	10.07	 	Indemnification of Committee; Board.
	 
	 	 	To the extent permitted under ERISA, the Plan shall indemnify the
Board and the Committee against any cost or liability that they may
incur in the course of administering the Plan and executing the
duties assigned pursuant to the Plan. The Employer shall indemnify
the Committee against any personal liability or cost not provided
for in the preceding sentence that they may incur as a result of any
act or omission in relation to the Plan or its Participants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no person shall be
indemnified for any act or omission that results from that person’s
intentional or willful misconduct, or illegal activity. The
Employer may purchase fiduciary liability insurance to insure its
obligation under this Section. The Company shall have the right to
select counsel to defend the Board or Committee in connection with
any litigation arising from the execution of their duties under the
Plan.

ARTICLE 11

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	11.01	 	Right to Amend.
	 
	 	 	The Company intends for the Plan to be permanent so long as the
corporation exists; however, it reserves the right (through action
of the Board) to modify, alter, or amend this Plan or the Trust
Agreement, from time to time, to any extent that it may deem
advisable, including, but not limited to any amendment deemed
necessary to insure the continued qualification of the Plan under
Sections 40l(a) and 401(k) of the Code or to insure compliance with
ERISA; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the
authority to amend this Plan in any manner that will:

	 	(a)	 	Permit any part of the Fund (other than such part as is required to pay taxes
and administrative expenses) to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the
exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Cause or permit any portion of the funds to revert to or become the property of
the Employer;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Change the duties, liabilities, or responsibilities of the Trustee without its
prior written consent.

42

 

	11.02	 	Termination and Discontinuance of Contributions.
	 
	 	 	The Company shall have the right at any time to terminate this Plan
or to discontinue permanently its contributions hereunder
(hereinafter referred to as “Plan Termination”). Upon termination
of the Plan, the Committee shall direct the Trustee with reference
to the disposition of the Fund, after payment of any expenses
properly chargeable against the Fund. The Trustee shall distribute
all amounts held in Trust to the Participants and others entitled to
distributions in proportion to the Accounts of such Participants and
other distributees as of the date of such Plan Termination. In the
event that this Plan is partially terminated, the provisions of this
Section 11.02 shall apply solely with respect to the Employees
affected by the partial termination. If the Plan is terminated or
partially terminated, or if the Employer permanently discontinues
its contributions to the Plan, then all Participants (in the case of
complete plan termination or permanent discontinuance of
contributions) or the affected Participants (in the event of partial
Plan termination), shall become 100% vested in all of their Accounts
under the Plan immediately upon such event.
	 
	11.03	 	IRS Approval of Termination.
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding Section 11.02, the Trustee shall not be required to
make any distribution from this Plan in the event of complete or
partial termination until the Internal Revenue Service has issued a
favorable determination with respect to the Plan’s termination.

ARTICLE 12

SPECIAL DISCRIMINATION RULES

401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions contributed to the Plan on behalf of a Participant for the Plan Year
(excluding any Excess Deferrals by a Non-Highly Compensated Employee) and, to the extent
permitted in Treasury Regulations and elected by the Employer, the Participant’s Qualified
Non-Elective Contributions to (ii) the Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year. The
Employer, on an annual basis, may elect to include or not to include Qualified Non-Elective
Contributions in computing the ADP for a Plan Year. In the case of a Participant (as
defined below) who does not make a Salary Savings Contribution or Roth 401(k) Contribution
for a Plan Year and is not allocated a Qualified Non-Elective Contribution for such Plan
Year, such Participant’s ADP for the Plan Year shall be zero.

43

 

	 	 	Average Actual Contribution Percentage shall mean the average (expressed as a
percentage) of the Actual Contribution Percentages of the Participants in a group. The
percentage shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent (four decimal
places).
	 
	 	 	Average Actual Deferral Percentage shall mean the average (expressed as a
percentage) of the Actual Deferral Percentages of the Participants in a group. The
percentage shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent (four decimal
places).
	 
	 	 	Compensation for purposes of this Article 12 shall be that definition selected by
the Committee that satisfies the requirements of Code Sections 414(s) and 401(a)(17). Such
definition may change from year to year but must apply uniformly among all Eligible
Employees being tested under the Plan for a given Plan Year and among all Employees being
tested under any other plan that is aggregated with this Plan during the Plan Year. If the
Committee fails to select a definition of Compensation for purposes of this Article 12,
Compensation (for purposes of Article 12) shall have the same meaning as defined in Article
2.
	 
	 	 	Employer Matching Contributions. For purposes of this Article 12, an Employer
Matching Contribution for a particular Plan Year includes only those contributions that are
(i) allocated to the Participant’s Account under the Plan as of any date within such Plan
Year, (ii) contributed to the Trust no later than the end of the 12-month period following
the close of such Plan Year, and (iii) made on account of such Participant’s Salary Savings
Contributions and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year.
	 
	 	 	Excess Deferrals shall have that meaning as defined in Section 12.02.
	 
	 	 	Excess ACP Contributions shall have that meaning as defined in Section 12.08.
	 
	 	 	Excess ADP Deferrals shall have that meaning as defined in Section 12.05.
	 
	 	 	Highly Compensated Employee. See Article 13.
	 
	 	 	Non-elective Contributions. For purposes of this Article 12, a Non-elective
Contribution is taken into account only if the contribution is (i) allocated to the
Participant’s Account under the terms of the Plan as of any date within the Plan Year, and
(ii) would have been received by the Participant as cash, but for the deferral election
during the Plan Year. Any Non-elective Contribution taken into account under this Article
12 shall be deemed to be a Salary Savings Contribution for purposes of the limits set forth
in Article 12.
	 
	 	 	Non-Highly Compensated Employee. See Article 13.
	 
	 	 	Participant. For purposes of this Article 12, a Participant shall mean any Employee
who (i) is eligible to receive an allocation of an Employer Matching Contribution, even if
no Employer Matching Contribution is allocated due to the Employee’s failure to make a
required Salary Savings Contribution, (ii) is eligible to make a Salary Savings Contribution
or Roth 401(k) Contribution, including an Employee whose right to make Salary Savings
Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions has been suspended because of an election not to
participate or a hardship distribution, and (iii) is unable to receive an Employer Matching
Contribution or make a Salary Savings Contribution or a Roth 401(k) Contribution because his
Compensation is less than a stated amount.

44

 

	 	 	Salary Savings Contributions or Roth 401(k) Contributions. For purposes of
this Article 12, a Salary Savings Contribution or Roth 401(k) Contribution is taken into
account only if the contribution (i) is allocated to the Participant’s Account under the
terms of the Plan as of any date within the Plan Year, and (ii) relates to Compensation that
would have been received by the Participant during the Plan Year or within 21/2 months after
the Plan Year but for the deferral election. A Salary Savings Contribution or Roth 401(k)
Contribution is considered to be allocated as of a date within a Plan Year only if the
allocation is not contingent on participation in the Plan or performance of service after
the Plan Year to which the Salary Savings Contribution or Roth 401(k) Contribution relates.
In addition, for purposes of this Article 12, unless otherwise stated, Salary Savings
Contributions or Roth 401(k) Contributions shall include Non-elective Contributions taken
into account under this Plan.
	 
	 	 	Qualified Elective Deferral shall mean Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k)
Contributions or Elective Profit Sharing Contributions designated by the Committee as
Qualified Elective Deferrals in order to meet the ACP testing requirements of Section 12.06.
In addition, the following requirements must be satisfied:

	 	(1)	 	The aggregate of all Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions
and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions for the Plan Year (including the Qualified
Elective Deferrals) must satisfy the ADP testing requirements set forth in Section
12.03(a).
	 
	 	(2)	 	The aggregate of all Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions
and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions for the Plan Year (excluding the Qualified
Elective Deferrals) must satisfy the ADP testing requirements set forth in Section
12.03(a).
	 
	 	(3)	 	Qualified Elective Deferrals must satisfy all other provisions of this Plan
applicable to Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective
Profit Sharing Contributions and shall remain part of the Participant’s Salary Savings
Contribution Account, Roth 401(k) Contribution Account or the Elective Profit Sharing
Contribution portion of the Participant’s Profit Sharing Contribution Account.
	 
	 	(4)	 	Except as provided by this definition, Qualified Elective Deferrals shall be
excluded in determining whether any other contribution or benefit satisfies the
nondiscrimination requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 401(k)(3).

	 	 	Qualified Non-Elective Contribution shall mean an Employer contribution designated
by the Committee as a Qualified Non-Elective Contribution in order to meet the ADP testing
requirements of Section 12.03 or the ACP testing requirements of Section 12.06. In
addition, the following requirements must be satisfied:

	 	(1)	 	The Qualified Non-Elective Contribution, whether or not used to satisfy the
requirements of Sections 12.03 or 12.06, must meet the requirements of Code Section
401(a)(4).
	 
	 	(2)	 	Qualified Non-Elective Contributions which are taken into account in order to
meet the requirements of Section 12.03 or 12.06 (as applicable) shall not be counted in
determining whether the testing requirements of any of such other Sections are met.

45

 

	 	(3)	 	The Qualified Non-Elective Contributions shall be subject to all provisions of
this Plan applicable to Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions
(except that Qualified Non-Elective Contributions cannot be distributed in a hardship
distribution).
	 
	 	(4)	 	Except as provided in this paragraph, the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions
shall be excluded in determining whether any other contribution or benefit satisfies
the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 401(k)(3).

	12.02	 	Limit on Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions.

	 	(a)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the aggregate
of a Participant’s Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective
Profit Sharing Contributions actually contributed to the Plan during a calendar year
may not exceed the dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Code in effect
for such taxable year, except to the extent permitted under Section 4.01(d) of the Plan
and Section 414(v) if applicable. Any Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k)
Contributions or Elective Profit Sharing Contributions in excess of the foregoing limit
(“Excess Deferral”), plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, will be
distributed to the applicable Participant no later than April 15 following the calendar
year in which such contributions were made.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any Participant who has an Excess Deferral during a calendar year may receive a
distribution of the Excess Deferral during such calendar year plus any income or minus
any loss allocable thereto, provided (1) the Participant requests (or is deemed to
request) the distribution of the Excess Deferral, (2) the distribution occurs after the
date the Excess Deferral arose, and (3) the Committee designates the distribution as a
distribution of an Excess Deferral. If a Participant who has an Excess Deferral has
made Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit
Sharing Contributions during the calendar year in which the Excess Deferral arose,
the Excess Deferral shall be distributed to the Participant on a pro-rata basis from
the Participant’s Salary Savings Contributions (if any), his Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions (if any), and his Roth 401(k) Contributions (if any). The distribution
of the Excess Deferral shall be adjusted for income or loss during the Plan Year only,
and not for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the
distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the 2007 Plan Year only, the income
or loss allocable to an Excess Deferral shall include income or loss during the “gap
period” (that is, the period between the end of the Plan Year and date of distribution)
to the extent required under the applicable Treasury Regulations.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If a Participant makes a Salary Savings Contribution, Roth 401(k) Contribution
or Elective Profit Sharing Contribution under this Plan and in the same calendar year
makes a contribution to a Code Section 401(k) plan containing a cash or deferred
arrangement (other than this Plan), a Code Section 408(k) plan (simplified employee
pension plan) or
a Code Section 403(b) plan (tax sheltered annuity) and, after the return of any
Excess Deferral pursuant to Section 12.02(a) and (b) the aggregate of all such
contributions exceed the limitations contained in Code Section 402(g), then such
Participant may request that the Committee return all or a portion of the
Participant’s Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions or Elective
Profit Sharing Contributions (as elected by the Participant) for the calendar year
plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto. The amount by which such
contributions exceed the Code Section 402(g) limitations will also be known as an
Excess Deferral.

46

 

	 	(d)	 	Any request for a return of Excess Deferrals arising out of contributions to a
plan described in Section 12.02(c) above which is maintained by an entity other than
the Employer must:

	 	(1)	 	be made in writing;
	 
	 	(2)	 	be submitted to the Committee not later than the March 1
following the Plan Year in which the Excess Deferral arose;
	 
	 	(3)	 	specify the amount of the Excess Deferral;
	 
	 	(4)	 	contain a statement that if the Excess Deferral is not
distributed, it will, when added to amounts deferred under other plans or
arrangements described in Sections 401(k), 408(k),or 403(b) of the Code, exceed
the limit imposed on the Participant by Section 402(g) of the Code for the year
in which the Excess Deferral occurred; and
	 
	 	(5)	 	acknowledge that the Salary Savings Contributions (if any),
Roth 401(k) Contributions (if any) or Elective Profit Sharing Contributions (if
any) shall be returned to the Participant on a pro-rata basis from his Account.

	 	 	 	In the event an Excess Deferral arises out of contributions to a plan (including
this Plan) described in Section 12.02(c) above which is maintained by the Employer,
the Participant making the Excess Deferral shall be deemed to have requested a
return of the Excess Deferral.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit
Sharing Contributions may only be returned to the extent necessary to eliminate a
Participant’s Excess Deferral. Excess Deferrals shall be treated as Annual Additions
under the Plan. In no event shall the returned Excess Deferrals for a particular
calendar year exceed the Participant’s aggregate Salary Savings Contributions, Roth
401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions for such calendar year.
	 
	 	 	 	To the extent a return of Excess Deferrals represent a return of the Participant’s
Roth 401(k) Contributions, such returned Excess Deferrals shall not be includible in
the Participant’s gross income for income tax purposes. However, any income
allocable to such returned Excess Deferrals shall be includible in the Participant’s
gross income for tax purposes.

47

 

	 	(f)	 	The income or loss allocable to a Salary Savings Contribution, Roth 401(k)
Contribution or Elective Profit Sharing Contribution that is returned to a Participant
pursuant to this Section 12.02 shall be determined by multiplying the income or loss
allocable to the
Participant’s Account for the calendar year in which the Excess Deferral arose by a
fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the Excess Deferral. The denominator of
the fraction is the value of the Participant’s Account balance on the last day of
the calendar year in which the Excess Deferral arose reduced by any income allocated
to the Participant’s Account for such calendar year and increased by any loss
allocated to the Participant’s Account for such calendar year. Alternatively, the
income or loss allocable to a Salary Savings Contribution, Roth 401(k) Contribution
or Elective Profit Sharing Contribution may be calculated using any reasonable
method for computing such income or loss, provided the method does not discriminate
in favor of Highly Compensated Employees, is used consistently for all participants
and for all corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year, and is used
by the Plan for allocating income to Participants’ Accounts. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for the 2007 Plan Year only, the income or loss allocable to an Excess
Deferral shall include income or loss during the “gap period” (that is, the period
between the end of the Plan Year and date of distribution) to the extent required
under the applicable Treasury Regulations.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Any Employer Matching Contribution allocable to an Excess Deferral that is
returned to a Participant pursuant to this Section 12.02 shall be forfeited
notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7 (vesting). For this purpose, however, the
Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions that are returned to the
Participant as an Excess Deferral shall be deemed to be first those Salary Savings
Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions for which no Employer Matching Contribution
was made and second those Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions
for which an Employer Matching Contribution was made. Accordingly, if the Salary
Savings Contributions or Roth 401(k) Contributions that are returned to the Participant
as Excess Deferrals were not matched, no Employer Matching Contribution will be
forfeited. Non-elective Contributions shall be returned as an Excess Deferral before
Salary Savings Contributions, Salary Savings Contributions shall be returned as an
Excess Deferral before Roth 401(k) Contributions, and Roth 401(k) Contributions shall
be returned as an Excess Deferral before Elective Profit Sharing Contributions.

	12.03	 	Average Actual Deferral Percentage.

	 	(a)	 	The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees for
each Plan Year and the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated
Employees for the preceding Plan Year must satisfy one of the following tests:

	 	(1)	 	The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are
Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average
Actual Deferral Percentage for the preceding Plan Year for Participants who
were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	The excess of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the
Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the preceding Plan Year for Participants
who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such preceding Plan Year is not
more than two percentage points, and the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees is not more than the Average
Actual Deferral Percentage for the preceding Plan Year for Participants who
were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year multiplied by two.

	 	(b)	 	If at the end of the Plan Year, the Plan does not comply with the provisions of
Section 12.03(a), the Employer may do any or all of the following, except as otherwise
provided in the Code or Treasury Regulations:

	 	(1)	 	Distribute Salary Savings Contributions or Roth 401(k)
Contributions to certain Highly Compensated Employees as provided in Section
12.05; or

48

 

	 	(2)	 	Make a Qualified Non-Elective Contribution on behalf of any or
all of the Non-Highly Compensated Employees and aggregate such contributions
with the Non-Highly Compensated Employees’ Salary Savings Contributions, Roth
401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions as provided in
Section 12.01 (definition of ADP).

	12.04	 	Special Rules For Determining Average Actual Deferral Percentage.

	 	(a)	 	The Actual Deferral Percentage for any Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan
Year who is eligible to have Salary Savings Contributions and/or Roth 401(k)
Contributions allocated to his account under two or more arrangements described in
Section 401(k) of the Code that are maintained by the Employer shall be determined as
if such Salary Savings Contributions and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions were made under a
single arrangement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If two or more plans maintained by the Employer are treated as one plan for
purposes of the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or the
coverage requirements of Code Section 410(b) (other than for purposes of the average
benefits test), all Salary Savings Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions that are
made pursuant to those plans shall be treated as having been made pursuant to one plan.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The determination and treatment of the Salary Savings Contributions, Roth
401(k) Contributions, Elective Profit Sharing Contribution and Actual Deferral
Percentage of any Participant shall be in accordance with such other requirements as
may be prescribed from time to time in Treasury Regulations.

	12.05	 	Distribution of Excess ADP Deferrals.

	 	(a)	 	Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit
Sharing Contributions exceeding the limitations of Section 12.03(a) (“Excess ADP
Deferrals”) and any income or loss allocable to such Excess ADP Deferral shall be
designated by the Committee as Excess ADP Deferrals and shall be distributed to Highly
Compensated Employees whose Accounts were credited with Excess ADP Deferrals in the
preceding Plan Year. The Committee shall determine the amount of Excess ADP Deferrals
to be distributed to each Highly Compensated Employee by first determining the
aggregate dollar amount of the distribution as follows:

	 	(1)	 	Determine the dollar amount by which the Salary Savings
Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and/or Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the highest ADP must
be reduced to equal the second highest ADP(s) under the Plan; then
	 
	 	(2)	 	Determine the dollar amount by which the Salary Savings
Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and/or and Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions for the two (or more) Highly Compensated Employees with the
highest ADPs under the Plan must be reduced to equal the third highest ADP(s)
under the Plan; then
	 
	 	(3)	 	Repeat the steps described in (1) and (2) above with respect to
the third and successive highest ADP levels under the Plan until the Average
Actual Deferral Percentage does not exceed the amount allowable under Section
12.03(a); then

49

 

	 	(4)	 	Add the dollar amounts determined in each of steps (1), (2) and
(3) above.

	 	 	 	The aggregate dollar amount of Excess ADP Deferrals determined under steps (1)
through (4) above shall be distributed as follows:

	 	(1)	 	First to those Highly Compensated Employees with the highest
amount of Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective
Profit Sharing Contributions until each such Employee’s Salary Savings
Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions equal the second highest amount of the Salary Savings
Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing
Contributions under the Plan;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Second, to the two (or more) Highly Compensated Employees with
the next highest dollar amount of Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k)
Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions under the Plan, until
each such Employee’s Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions
and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions equal the third highest amount of
Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit
Sharing Contributions under the Plan; and
	 
	 	(3)	 	Then the steps described in (1) and (2) shall be repeated for
the third and successive Highly Compensated Employees with the highest amount
of Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and Elective Profit
Sharing Contributions under the Plan until all Excess ADP Deferrals have been
returned.
	 
	 	(4)	 	If a Highly Compensated Employee is eligible to make Catch-Up
Contributions under Section 4.01(d) of the Plan, any Excess ADP Deferrals
allocated to such Highly Compensated Employee in steps (1) through (3) above
must be retained by the Plan and treated as Catch-Up Contributions for the Plan
Year in which the Excess ADP Deferral was made, to the extent permitted under
Section 4.01(d) of the Plan and Section 414(v) of the Code. Any remaining
Excess ADP Deferral shall then be distributed to such Highly Compensated
Employee. Any Excess ADP Deferrals that are retained by the Plan as Catch-Up
Contributions under this paragraph shall be treated as Catch-Up Contributions
under Section 4.01(d) of the Plan. Any Employer Matching Contributions on a
Participant’s Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions or
Elective Profit Sharing Contributions that are recharacterized as Catch-Up
Contributions shall be forfeited.

	 	(b)	 	To the extent administratively possible, the Committee shall distribute all
Excess ADP Deferrals and any income or loss allocable thereto prior to 21/2 months
following the end of the Plan Year in which the Excess ADP Deferrals arose. In any
event, however, the
Excess ADP Deferrals and any income or loss allocable thereto shall be distributed
prior to the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Excess ADP
Deferrals arose. Excess ADP Deferrals shall be treated as Annual Additions under
the Plan. The distribution of the Excess ADP Deferrals shall be adjusted for income
or loss during the Plan Year only, and not for the period between the end of the
Plan Year and the date of the distribution.

50

 

	 	(c)	 	The income or loss allocable to Excess ADP Deferrals shall be determined by
multiplying the income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Account for the Plan Year
in which the Excess ADP Deferrals arose by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction
is the Excess ADP Deferral. The denominator of the fraction is the value of the
Participant’s Account balance on the last day of the Plan Year in which the Excess ADP
Deferrals arose reduced by any income allocated to the Participant’s Account for such
Plan Year and increased by any loss allocated to the Participant’s Account for the Plan
Year. Alternatively, the income or loss allocable to Excess ADP Deferrals may be
calculated using any reasonable method for computing such income or loss, provided the
method does not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees, is used
consistently for all participants and for all corrective distributions under the Plan
for the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating income to Participants’
Accounts.
	 
	 	(d)	 	If an Excess Deferral has been distributed to the Participant pursuant to
Section 12.02 for any taxable year of a Participant, then any Excess ADP Deferral
allocable to such Participant for the same Plan Year in which such taxable year ends
shall be reduced by the amount of such Excess Deferral.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Any Employer Matching Contribution allocable to an Excess ADP Deferral that is
returned to the Participant pursuant to this Section 12.05 shall be forfeited
notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7 (vesting). In this regard, any
distributions made to a Highly Compensation Employee to correct Excess ADP Deferrals
for a Plan Year shall be made in the following order:

	 	(1)	 	First on a pro-rata basis from his unmatched Salary Savings
Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Then, on a pro-rata basis from his matched Salary Savings
Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year; and
	 
	 	(3)	 	Then from his Elective Profit Sharing Contributions for the
Plan Year.

	12.06	 	Average Actual Contribution Percentage.

	 	(a)	 	The Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees for
each Plan Year and the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly
Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year must satisfy one of the following
tests:

	 	(1)	 	The Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Participants who
are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average
Actual Contribution Percentage for the preceding Plan Year for Participants who
were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	The excess of the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the
Average Actual Contribution Percentage for the preceding Plan Year for
Participants who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year is
not more than two percentage points, and the Average Actual Contribution
Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan
Year is not more than the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for the
preceding Plan Year for Participants who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees
for such Plan Year multiplied by two.

51

 

	 	(b)	 	If at the end of the Plan Year, the Plan does not comply with the provisions of
Section 12.06(a), the Employer may do any or all of the following in order to comply
with such provision as applicable (except as otherwise provided in the Code or in
Treasury Regulations):

	 	(1)	 	Aggregate Qualified Elective Deferrals with the Employer
Matching Contributions or, for Plan Years beginning prior to April 1, 2001,
Voluntary After-Tax Contributions of Non-Highly Compensated Employees as
provided in Section 12.01 (definition of ACP).
	 
	 	(2)	 	Distribute vested Employer Matching Contributions to certain
Highly Compensated Employees as provided in Section 12.08.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Make a Qualified Non-Elective Contribution on behalf of any or
all of the Non-Highly Compensated Employees and aggregate such contributions
with the Non-Highly Compensated Employees’ Employer Matching Contributions as
provided in Section 12.01 (definition of ACP).
	 
	 	(4)	 	Forfeit non-vested Employer Matching Contributions of certain
Highly Compensated Employees as provided in Section 12.09.

	12.07	 	Special Rules For Determining Average Actual Contribution Percentages.

	 	(a)	 	The Actual Contribution Percentage for any Highly Compensated Employee for the
Plan Year who is eligible to have Employer Matching Contributions allocated to his
account under two or more arrangements described in Sections 401(a) or 401(m) of the
Code that are maintained by the Employer shall be determined as if such contributions
were made under a single arrangement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If two or more plans maintained by the Employer are treated as one plan for
purposes of the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or the
coverage requirements of Code Section 410(b) (other than for purposes of the average
benefits test), all Employer Matching Contributions that are made pursuant to those
plans shall be treated as having been made pursuant to one plan.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The determination and treatment of the Actual Contribution Percentage of any
Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary
of the Treasury.

	12.08	 	Distribution of Employer Matching Contributions.

	 	(a)	 	Employer Matching Contributions exceeding the limitations of Section 12.06(a)
(“Excess ACP Contributions”) and any income or loss allocable to such Excess ACP
Contribution may be designated by the Committee as Excess ACP Contributions and may be
distributed in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Excess ACP
Contributions arose to those Highly Compensated Employees whose Accounts were credited
with the largest amounts of Employer Matching Contributions during the preceding Plan
Year. The amount of Excess ACP Contributions to be distributed to a Highly Compensated
Employee shall be determined using the procedure described in Section 12.05(a).

52

 

	 	(b)	 	To the extent administratively possible, the Committee shall distribute all
Excess ACP Contributions and any income or loss allocable thereto prior to 21/2 months
following the end of the Plan Year in which the Excess ACP Contributions arose. In any
event, however, the Excess ACP Contributions and any income or loss allocable thereto
shall be distributed prior to the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which
the Excess ACP Contributions arose. The distribution of the Excess ACP Contributions
shall be adjusted for income or loss during the Plan Year only, and not for the period
between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the distribution.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The income or loss allocable to Excess ACP Contributions shall be determined by
multiplying the income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Account for the Plan Year
in which the Excess ACP Contribution arose by a fraction. The numerator of the
fraction is the Excess ACP Contributions. The denominator of the fraction is the value
of the Participant’s Account on the last day of the Plan Year reduced by any income
allocated to the Participant’s Account by such Plan Year and increased by any loss
allocated to the Participant’s Account for the Plan Year. The income or loss allocable
to Excess ACP Contributions may be calculated using any reasonable method for computing
such income or loss, provided the method does not discriminate in favor of Highly
Compensated Employees, is used consistently for all participants and for all corrective
distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating
income to Participants’ Accounts.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Amounts distributed to Highly Compensated Employees under this Section 12.08
shall be treated as annual additions with respect to the Employee who received such
amount.
	 
	 	(e)	 	No unvested Employer Matching Contributions shall be distributed pursuant to
this Section 12.08. Such amounts may, however, be forfeited pursuant to Section 12.09.

	12.09	 	Forfeiture of Excess ACP Contributions.

	 	(a)	 	A nonvested Employer Matching Contribution and any income or loss allocable to
such nonvested Employer Matching Contribution for the Plan Year may be forfeited and
used to reduce an Excess ACP Contribution. Such forfeited Employer Matching
Contribution shall be allocated as a forfeiture in accordance with Section 5.06.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The amount of any Employer Matching Contribution to be forfeited by a
particular Highly Compensated Employee shall be determined pursuant to the procedure
described in Section 12.05(a).
	 
	 	(c)	 	The income or loss allocable to Excess ACP Contributions shall be determined
pursuant to the formula described in Section 12.08(c).
	 
	 	(d)	 	Amounts forfeited by Highly Compensated Employees under this Section shall be
treated as Annual Additions with respect to the Participant who forfeited such amount
and with respect to any Participant to whose account the forfeiture was allocated.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Vested Employer Matching Contributions may not be forfeited to correct an
Excess ACP Contribution.

53

 

	12.10	 	Order of Applying Certain Sections of Article.

distribution of Excess Deferrals shall be made first, the
determination and elimination of Excess ADP Deferrals shall be made
second and the determination and elimination of Excess ACP
Contributions shall be made last.

ARTICLE 13

HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES

	13.01	 	In General.
	 
	 	 	For the purposes of this Plan, the term “Highly Compensated
Employee” is any active Employee described in Section 13.02 below
and any Former Employee described in Section 13.03 below. Various
definitions used in this Article are contained in Section 13.04. A
“Non-Highly Compensated Employee” is an Employee who is not a Highly
Compensated Employee.
	 
	13.02	 	Highly Compensated Employees.
	 
	 	 	An Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee if the Employee:

	 	(1)	 	is a 5 Percent Owner at any time during the Determination Year
or the year preceding the Determination Year; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	during the year preceding the Determination Year, receives
Compensation in excess of $105,000 (as adjusted for increases in the cost of
living as provided in Section 414(q)(1) of the Code).

	13.03	 	Former Highly Compensated Employee.
	 
	 	 	A Former Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee if (applying the
rules of Section 13.02) the Former Employee was a Highly Compensated
Employee during a Separation Year or during any Determination Year
ending on or after the Former Employee’s 55th birthday.
	 
	13.04	 	Definitions.
	 
	 	 	The following special definitions shall apply to this Article 13:
	 
	 	 	Determination Year shall mean the Plan Year for which an
individual’s status as a Highly Compensated Employee is determined.
	 
		 	5 Percent Owner shall mean any Employee who owns or is deemed to own
(within the meaning of Code Section 318), more than five percent of
the value of the outstanding stock of the Employer or stock
possessing more than five percent of the total combined voting power
of the Employer.
	 
	 	 	Former Employee shall mean an Employee (i) who has incurred a
Termination of Employment or (ii) who remains employed by the
Employer but who has not performed services for the Employer during
the Determination Year (e.g., an Employee on Authorized Leave of
Absence).

54

 

	      	 	Separation Year shall mean any of the following years:

	 	(1)	 	An Employee who incurs a Termination of Employment shall have a Separation Year
in the Determination Year in which such Termination of Employment occurs;
	 
	 	(2)	 	An Employee who remains employed by the Employer but who temporarily ceases to
perform services for the Employer (e.g., an Employee on Authorized Leave of Absence)
shall have a Separation Year in the calendar year in which he last performs services
for the Employer;
	 
	 	(3)	 	An Employee who remains employed by the Employer but whose Compensation for a
calendar year is less than 50% of the Employee’s average annual Compensation for the
immediately preceding three calendar years (or the Employee’s total years of
employment, if less) shall have a Separation Year in such calendar year. However, such
Separation Year shall be ignored if the Employee remains employed by the Employer and
the Employee’s Compensation returns to a level comparable to the Employee’s
Compensation immediately prior to such Separation Year.

	13.05	 	Other Methods Permissible.
	 
	 	 	To the extent permitted by the Code, judicial decisions, Treasury
Regulations and IRS pronouncements, the Committee may (without
further amendment to this Plan) take such other steps and actions or
adopt such other methods or procedures (in addition to those methods
and procedures described in this Article 13) to determine and
identify Highly Compensated Employees (including adopting
alternative definitions of Compensation that satisfy Code Section
414(q)(7) and are uniformly applied).

55

 

ARTICLE 14

MAXIMUM BENEFITS

	14.01	 	General Rule.

	 	(a)	 	Except to the extent permitted by Section 4.01(d) of the Plan and Section
414(v) of the Code, 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:

	 	(i)	 	$49,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under
Section 415(d) of the Code, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	100 percent (100%) of the Participant’s Compensation for the
Limitation Year. The compensation limit referred to in this paragraph (ii)
shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from
service (within the meaning of 401(h) or Section 419A(f)(2) of the Code that is
otherwise treated as an Annual Addition.

	 	(b)	 	The Employer hereby elects that the Limitation Year for purposes of Code
Section 415 shall be the Plan Year.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the amount to be allocated to a Participant’s Account exceeds the maximum
permissible amount (and for this purpose Employer Contributions shall be deemed to be
allocated after Employee Contributions), the excess will be disposed of as follows.
First, if the Participant’s Annual Additions exceed the maximum permissible amount as a
result of (i) a reasonable error in estimating the Participant’s Compensation, (ii) a
reasonable error in estimating the amount of Employee Contributions that the
Participant could make under Code Section 415, (iii) the allocation of forfeitures or
(iv) other facts and circumstances that the Internal Revenue Service finds justifiable,
the Committee may direct the Trustee to return to the Participant his Employee
Contributions (and any income allocable to such Employee Contributions) for such Plan
Year to the extent necessary to reduce the excess amount. Such returned Employee
Contributions shall be ignored in performing the discrimination tests of Article 12.
Second, any excess Annual Additions still remaining after the return of Employee
Contributions shall be reallocated as determined by the Committee among the
Participants whose accounts have not exceeded the limit in the same proportion that the
Compensation of each such Participant bears to the Compensation of all such
Participants. If such reallocation would result in an addition to another
Participant’s Account which exceeds the permitted limit, that excess shall likewise be
reallocated among the Participants whose Accounts do not exceed the limit. However, if
the allocation or reallocation of the excess amounts pursuant to these provisions
causes the limitations of Section 415 of the Code to be exceeded with respect to each
Participant for the Limitation Year, then any such excess shall be held unallocated in
a 415 Suspense Account. If the 415 Suspense Account is in existence at any time during
a Limitation Year, other than the Limitation Year described in the preceding sentence,
all amounts in the 415 Suspense Account shall be allocated and reallocated to
Participants’ Accounts (subject to the limitations of Code Section 415) before any
Contributions that would constitute Annual Additions may be made to the Plan for that
Limitation Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Section 14.01(c) shall not apply during any Limitation Year beginning on or after
January 1, 2008.

56

 

	 	(d)	 	If the Participant is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan
maintained by the Employer during any Limitation Year, the Annual Additions that may be
credited to a Participant’s Account under this Plan for any such Limitation Year shall
not exceed the maximum permissible amount described above reduced by the Annual
Additions credited to the Participant’s accounts under all such other plans for the
same Limitation Year. If a Participant’s Annual Additions under this Plan and such
other plans would result in an excess amount for a Limitation Year, the excess amount
will be deemed to consist of the Annual Additions last allocated (and for this purpose,
Employer Contributions shall be deemed to be allocated after Employee Contributions).
If an excess amount is allocated to a Participant on an allocation date of this Plan
that coincides with an allocation date of another plan, the excess amount attributed to
this Plan will be the product of

	 	(i)	 	the total excess amount as of such date, times
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the ratio of (A) the Annual Additions allocated to the
Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date under this Plan to (B) the
total Annual Additions allocated to the Participant for the Limitation Year as
of such date under this and all the other qualified defined contribution plans
maintained by the Employer.

	14.02	 	Definitions.
	 
	 	 	For the purposes of this Article 14, the following definitions shall apply:
	 
	 	 	Annual Addition shall mean the sum of:

	 	(1)	 	Employer Contributions;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Salary Savings Contributions, Roth 401(k) Contributions and
Elective Profit Sharing Contributions;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Forfeitures; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	Amounts described in Code Sections 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2).

	 	 	Annual Additions shall not include any amounts credited to the Participant’s Account
resulting from Catch-Up Contributions or Rollover Contributions.
	 
	 	 	Affiliates shall have that meaning contained in Article 2 except that for purposes
of determining who is an Affiliate, the phrase “more than 50 percent” shall be substituted
for the phrase “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Code Section 1563(a)(1).
	 
	 	 	Compensation for purposes of this Article 14 shall mean the gross annual earnings
required to be reported on a Participant’s Form W-2 (box 1) under Code Sections 6041(d),
6051(a)(3) and 6052. Compensation shall also include Salary Savings Contributions, Elective
Profit Sharing Contributions, Non-elective Contributions, salary reduction contributions to
any Section 125 Plan maintained by the Employer, and amounts applied at the election of the
Participant to purchase benefits under an arrangement described in Code Section 132(f).

57

 

	 	 	For Limitation Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, except as otherwise provided
below, the term Compensation for purposes of this Article 14 shall not include any amounts
paid by the Company or an Affiliate to an Employee after such Employee severs employment
with the Company and the Affiliates. However, such Compensation shall include regular
compensation for services during the Employee’s regular working hours, or compensation for
services outside the Employee’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift
differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, that are paid after the
Employee severs employment with the Company and the Affiliates, provided that (i) the
amounts are paid by the later of 21/2 months after such severance from employment or the end
of the limitation year that includes the date of the severance from employment, and (ii)
those amounts would have been included as Compensation for purposes of this Article 14 if
they were paid prior to the Employee’s severance from employment.
	 
	 	 	Other post-severance payments (such as severance pay, parachute payments within the meaning
of Code Section 280G(b)(2), or post-severance payments under a nonqualified unfunded
deferred compensation plan that would not had been paid if the Employee had continued in
employment) are not included in this definition of Compensation even if such amounts are
paid within the time period described in the preceding paragraph.

ARTICLE 15

TOP HEAVY RULES

	15.01	 	General.
	 
	 	 	The provisions of this Article of the Plan shall become effective in any Plan Year in which
the Plan is determined to be Top Heavy and shall supersede any conflicting provision of this
Plan.
	 
	15.02	 	Definitions.

	 	(a)	 	Top Heavy. The Plan shall be Top Heavy for the Plan Year if, as of the
Valuation Date that coincides with or immediately precedes the Determination Date, the
value of the Accounts of Key Employees exceeds 60% of the value of the Accounts of all
Participants.
	 
	 	 	 	If the Employer maintains more than one plan, all plans in which any Key Employee
participates and all plans that enable this Plan to satisfy the nondiscrimination
requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code must be combined with this Plan
(a “Required Aggregation Group”) for the purposes of applying the 60% test described
above. Plans maintained by the Employer that are not in the Required Aggregation
Group may be combined, at the Employer’s election, with this Plan for the purposes
of determining Top Heavy status if the combined group (the “Permissive Aggregation
Group”) satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

58

 

	 	 	 	In determining the value of the Participants’ Accounts, all distributions made with
respect to the Employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under
Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one-year period ending on the Determination
Date shall be included and any unallocated Employer Contributions or forfeitures
attributable to the Plan Year in which the Determination Date falls shall also be
included. The preceding
sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not
been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section
416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other
than severance from employment, death or disability, this provision shall be applied
by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year period”. The Account of (i) any
Employee who at one time was a Key Employee but who is not a Key Employee for any of
the five Plan Years ending on the Determination Date, and (ii) any Employee who has
not performed services for the Employer or a related employer maintaining a plan in
the aggregation group for the one-year period ending on the Determination Date,
shall be disregarded in determining Top Heavy status.
	 
	 	 	 	If the Employer maintains a defined benefit plan during the Plan Year that is
subject to aggregation with this Plan, the 60% test shall be applied after
calculating the present value of the Participants’ accrued benefits under the
defined benefit plan in accordance with the rules set forth in that plan and
combining the present value of such accrued benefits with the Participant’s’ Account
balances under this Plan.
	 
	 	 	 	Solely for the purpose of determining if the Plan, or any other plan included in the
Required Aggregation Group, is Top-Heavy, a Non-Key Employee’s accrued benefit in a
defined benefit plan shall be determined under (i) the method, if any, that uniformly
applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Employer, 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 accrual rate of Code Section
411(b)(1)(C).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Key Employee. Any employee or former employee (including any deceased
employee) of the Employer who, at any time during the Plan Year that includes the
Determination Date, was an officer of the Employer having annual compensation greater
than $150,000 (as adjusted under section 416(i)(1) of the Code), a 5-percent owner or
the Employer, or a 1-percent owner of the Employer having annual compensation of more
than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the
meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The determination of who is a Key Employee
shall be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable
regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Determination Date. The last day of the Plan Year immediately
preceding the Plan Year for which Top Heavy status is determined. For the first Plan
Year, the Determination Date shall be the last day of the first Plan Year.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Non-Key Employee. Any Employee who is not a Key Employee.

	15.03	 	Minimum Benefit.

	 	(a)	 	Except as provided below, the Employer Contributions allocated on behalf of any
Non-Key Employee who is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Top Heavy Plan
Year shall not be less than the lesser of (i) 3% of such Non-Key Employee’s
Compensation or (ii) the largest percentage of Employer Contributions, Salary Savings
Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions, as a percentage of the Key
Employee’s Compensation, allocated on behalf of any Key Employee for such Plan Year.
Salary Savings Contributions and Elective Profit Sharing Contributions allocated to the
Accounts of Non-Key Employees shall not be considered in determining whether a Non-Key
Employee has received the minimum contribution required by this Section 15.03, but
Employer Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of
satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code Section 416(c)(2) and the
Plan.

59

 

	 	(b)	 	The minimum allocation is determined without regard to any Social Security
contribution and shall be made even though, under other Plan provisions, the Non-Key
Employee would have received a lesser allocation or no allocation for the Plan Year
because of the Non-Key Employee’s failure to complete 1,000 Hours of Service, his
failure to make mandatory employee contributions, or his earning compensation less than
a stated amount.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the Employer maintains a defined benefit plan in addition to this Plan, the
minimum contribution and benefit requirements for both plans in a Top Heavy Plan Year
may be satisfied by an allocation of Employer Contributions to the Account of each
Non-Key Employee in the amount of 5% of the Non-Key Employee’s compensation.

the form of lump sum distributions as soon as administratively

term “alternative defined contribution plan” shall be governed by
Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(4)(i) or any successor
Treasury Regulation thereto.

60

 

	16.05	 	Discrimination.
	 
	 	 	The Employer, the Committee, the Trustee and all other persons
involved in the administration and operation of the Plan shall
administer and operate the Plan and Trust in a uniform and
consistent manner with respect to all Participants similarly
situated and shall not permit discrimination in favor of Highly
Compensated Employees.
	 
	16.06	 	Release.
	 
	 	 	Any payment to a Participant or Beneficiary, or to their legal
representatives, in accordance with the provisions of this Plan,
shall to the extent thereof be in full satisfaction of all claims
hereunder against the Trustee, Committee, Committee and the
Employer, any of whom may require such Participant, Beneficiary, or

the Plan in such manner that the Plan and Trust shall remain in
compliance with the Code, with ERISA, and all other applicable laws,
regulations, and rulings.
	 
	16.08	 	Merger.
	 
	 	 	In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with any
other Plan, or the transfer of assets or liabilities by the Plan to
another Plan, each Participant must receive (assuming that the Plan
would terminate) the benefit immediately after the merger,
consolidation, or transfer that is equal to or greater than the
benefit such Participant would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (assuming
that the Plan had then terminated), provided such merger,
consolidation, or transfer took place after the date of enactment of

the judgment of the Committee is otherwise legally incapable of
personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for any payment due
him hereunder, the Committee may, unless and until a claim shall
have been made by a duly appointed guardian or committee of such
person, direct that such payment or any part thereof be made to such
person’s Spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, or such other
person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for or
assumed responsibility for the expense of such person. Such payment
shall fully discharge the Trustee, Employer, Committee and Committee
from further liability on account thereof.

61

 

	16.11	 	Location of Participant or Beneficiary Unknown.
	 
	 	 	In the event that all or any portion of the distribution payable to
a Participant or his Beneficiary shall remain unpaid solely by
reason of the Committee’s inability to ascertain the whereabouts of
such Participant or Beneficiary, the amount unpaid shall be
forfeited. However, such forfeiture shall not occur until five (5)
years after the amount first became payable. The Committee shall
make a diligent effort to locate the Participant or Beneficiary
including the mailing of a registered letter, return receipt
requested, to the last known address of such Participant or
Beneficiary. In the event a Participant or Beneficiary is located
subsequent to his benefit being forfeited, such benefit shall be
restored and distributed.
	 
	16.12	 	Protected Benefits.
	 
	 	 	Early retirement benefits, retirement-type subsidies, or optional
