EQUIFAX

2005 EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

(Effective As Of January 1, 2005, Except Where Otherwise Noted)

 

Effective as of January 1, 2003, Equifax Inc. (the “Company”)
established the Equifax Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“Prior Plan”) for
the benefit of eligible management and highly compensated employees of the
Company and its Subsidiaries.  The Plan
was designed to assist and encourage eligible employees to accumulate capital
and to supplement their retirement income.

 

Because the laws applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation plans
were significantly changed effective January 1, 2005, the Company has
decided to adopt a new deferred compensation plan, the Equifax 2005 Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for deferrals by eligible employees
occurring on or after January 1, 2005. 
The vested amounts credited to participants as of December 31, 2004
under the Prior Plan (and any earnings on such amounts) will remain credited
under the Prior Plan and subject to the terms and conditions of the Prior Plan.

percentage or dollar amount of Bonus, or whole percentage or dollar amount of
Bonus above a certain level (as determined by the Administrator prior to the

Plan Year to have contributed to this Plan any deferral contributions which the
Participant has elected as of the beginning of the Plan Year to be made to the
Qualified Plan for such Plan Year which, for any reason, may not be contributed

limits shall be interpreted and applied by the Administrator and the

months prior to the end of the applicable performance period for the Bonus,
provided, further, that at the time of such election the amount of the Bonus is
not readily ascertainable.  The
Administrator may establish a special enrollment period for Eligible Executives
hired during a Plan Year to allow deferrals of Base Salary, Commissions and/or
Bonus earned during the balance of such Plan Year after such enrollment
period.  The Participant shall be
required to submit a new Participant Election Form on a timely basis in
order to change the Participant’s deferral election for a subsequent Plan
Year.  If no Participant Election Form is
filed during the prescribed enrollment period, the Participant’s election for
the prior Plan Year shall continue in force for the next Plan Year.

 

2.3                                 Election Irrevocable.  The election to defer Base Salary,
Commissions or Bonus shall be irrevocable once the enrollment period as
provided in Section 2.2 has expired, except as provided in Article 6 in the event of Disability or Section 4.5

ARTICLE III

 

Accounts

 

3.1                                 Participant Accounts.  Solely for recordkeeping purposes, up to
three (3) Accounts (a Retirement Account and two Scheduled Withdrawal
Accounts) shall be maintained for each Participant and shall be credited with
the Participant’s deferrals directed by the Participant to each Account at the
time such amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.  The Participant will designate for each Plan
Year which portion of the Participant’s deferrals for such Plan Year shall be
credited to the Participant’s Retirement Account and any Scheduled Withdrawal
Account the Participant has elected to establish.  Accounts shall be deemed to be credited with
notional gains or losses as provided in Section 3.2 from the date the
deferral is credited to the Account through the Valuation Date.  Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account
shall be fully vested at all times.

 

With respect to Eligible Executives who participated in the Prior Plan
prior to January 1, 2005, and who have made deferral elections under the
Prior Plan for 2005, 2006, and 2007 with respect to Base Salary, Commissions
and Bonuses which were earned and became payable on or after January 1,
2005, the Company hereby transfers all rights with respect to such deferral
elections to the Plan and the Plan hereby assumes all obligations with respect
to such deferral elections.  Such
deferral elections shall be maintained and administered in accordance with the
Plan, including the payment rules of the Plan.  The Administrator may permit changes to such
deferral elections and payment elections in accordance with Section 409A.

 

The Administrator shall provide such additional payment elections to

otherwise do not actively participate in the Plan) with respect to amounts
credited to the Plan pursuant to this Section 3.1 as are consistent with Section 409A,

3.2                                 Crediting
Rate.  Unless the Administrator
elects to establish a different method of determining the Crediting Rate, the
Crediting Rate on amounts in a Participant’s Account shall be based on the
Participant’s choice among the investment alternatives made available from time
to time by the Administrator.  The
Administrator shall establish a procedure by which a Participant may elect to
have the Crediting Rate based on one or more investment alternatives and by
which the Participant may change investment elections periodically.  The Administrator may permit Participants to
elect different investment alternatives for different types of accounts.  The Participant’s Account balance shall
reflect the investments selected by the Participant.  If an investment selected by a Participant
sustains a loss, the Participant’s Account shall be reduced to reflect such
loss.  The Participant’s choice among
investments shall be solely for purposes of calculation of the Crediting
Rate.  If the Participant fails to elect
an investment alternative the Crediting Rate shall be based on the investment
alternative selected for this purpose by the Administrator.  The Company shall have no obligation to set
aside or invest funds as directed by the Participant and, if the Company elects
to invest funds as directed by the Participant, the Participant shall have no
more right to such investments than any other unsecured general creditor.  During payout, the Participant’s Account
shall continue to be credited at the Crediting Rate selected by the Participant
from among the investment alternatives or rates made available by the
Administrator for such purpose. 
Installment payments shall be recalculated annually by dividing the
account balance by the number of payments remaining without regard to
anticipated earnings or in any other reasonable manner as may be determined
from time to time by the Administrator.

 

3.3                                 Statement
of Accounts.  The Administrator shall
provide each Participant with a statement at least quarterly setting forth the
Participant’s Account balance as of the end of each quarter.

 

3.4                                 TALX
Plan Transfer Accounts.  The TALX
Plan Transfer Accounts of Participants are hereby transferred to the Plan
effective as of December 31, 2007 (or as soon thereafter as practical) and
the Plan hereby assumes all obligations with respect to the amounts credited to
the TALX Plan Transfer Accounts.  The
amounts credited to the TALX Plan Transfer Accounts shall be maintained and
administered in accordance with the Plan, including the distribution rules and
the deemed investment rules.  The
Administrator may permit changes to the payment rules for amounts credited
to the TALX Plan Transfer Accounts in accordance with Articles IV and VII and Section 409A,
including the transition rules.

unpaid amounts in any Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts) credited with notional

reason of Retirement, Disability or death, the Company shall pay to the
Participant a termination benefit equal to the balance on Termination of

months after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment (or, if

otherwise be payable before the 6-month anniversary shall be delayed and shall
be paid within 30 days following such 6-month anniversary.

 

4.5                                 Financial Hardship Distribution.  Upon a finding by the Administrator that the
Participant (or, after the Participant’s death, a Beneficiary) has suffered a
Financial Hardship, the Administrator may authorize a distributions of benefits
under the Plan in the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate such Financial
Hardship.  Such distribution shall not
exceed the dollar amount necessary to satisfy the Financial Hardship plus
amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the
distribution, after taking into account the extent to which the Financial
Hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by
insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the
extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause Financial
Hardship).  In the event of a
distribution from the Plan based on Financial Hardship, a Participant’s
deferrals shall cease and the Participant shall not be allowed to make a new
deferral election until the enrollment period next following one full calendar
year from the date of such distribution.

provisions and the Participant’s elections as to the time and method of payment
(subject to the Company’s rights to amend or to terminate the Plan).

Withdrawal

 

7.1                                 Election.  The Participant may make an election on the
Participant Election Form at the time of making a deferral to establish a
Scheduled Withdrawal Account.  The
Participant may elect to receive a Scheduled Withdrawal in any Plan Year on or
after the third Plan Year following the enrollment period in which such
Scheduled Withdrawal Account is first established and may elect to have the
Scheduled Withdrawal distributed in a single lump sum or in annual installments
over a period of up to five (5) years. 
The Participant may elect to make additional deferrals into such
Scheduled Withdrawal Account on subsequent Participant Election Forms, provided
that any subsequent deferrals into such Scheduled Withdrawal Account must be
made not later than the end of the Plan Year ending at least 2 years prior to
the date the Scheduled Withdrawal is to commence.  The Participant may not elect another
Scheduled Withdrawal date for such Account until all of the amounts in the
original Scheduled Withdrawal Account have been paid out.  The Participant may establish up to two (2) separate
Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts with different Scheduled Withdrawal dates but
shall not establish a third such Account until all of the funds in one of the
first two Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts have been paid out.  A Participant may, not less than twelve (12)
months prior to the payment dates of any Scheduled Withdrawal accounts he has
established under this Section 7.1, elect to defer the date on which
payment of any Scheduled Withdrawal account shall commence and/or change the
method of payment of such Scheduled Withdrawal account, provided that, (i) after
the initial election under this Section 7.1, a Participant may only make
one election change with respect to a particular Scheduled Withdrawal account
(after such election change, the election shall become irrevocable); (ii) except
as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the first in-service payment with
respect to such changed election must be deferred at least 5 years from the
date such

payment would otherwise have been made, (iii) except
as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the election shall not become
effective for 12 months.

 

7.2                                 Timing of Scheduled Withdrawal.  The Scheduled Withdrawal payment shall be
paid by the Company to the Participant no later than the last day of January of
the Plan Year elected by the Participant in the Participant Election Form unless
preceded by Termination of Employment. 
In the event of Termination of Employment prior to the date elected for
the Scheduled Withdrawal, the amounts in the Scheduled Withdrawal accounts
shall be paid at the same time and in the form provided in Sections 4.1 or 4.2
of the Plan (whichever is applicable). 
In the event such Termination of Employment is as a result of the
Participant’s death, the Scheduled Withdrawal shall be paid as provided in Section 5.1
of the Plan.

Amendment and
Termination of Plan

 

8.1                                 Amendment.  The Company may at any time or from time to
time modify or amend any or all of the provisions of the Plan, or stop future
deferrals to the Plan, provided that no such amendment shall reduce a
Participant’s Account balance or change existing elections with respect to the
time and method of payment of a Participant’s Account.

 

8.2                                 Termination of Plan.  The Company expects to continue this Plan,
but does not obligate itself to do so. 
The Company reserves the right to discontinue and terminate the Plan at
any time, in whole or in part, for any reason (including a change, or an
impending change, in the tax laws of the United States or any State).  Termination of the Plan shall be binding on
all Participants and Employers, but in no event may such termination reduce the
amounts credited at that time to any Participant’s Account.  If this Plan is terminated, subject to Section 4.4,
amounts credited to Participants’ Accounts shall be paid in a lump sum,
provided that (A) the Company terminates at the same time any other
arrangement that is subject to Section 409A and that would be aggregated
with the Plan under Section 409A; (B) the Company does not adopt any
other arrangement that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A
for three years; (C) the payments upon such termination shall not commence
until 12 months after the date of termination and all such payments must be
completed within 24 months after the date of termination; and (D) such
other requirements as may be imposed by Section 409A are satisfied.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

Beneficiaries

 

9.1                                 Beneficiary Designation.  The Participant shall have the right, at any
time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and
contingent) to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the event of the
Participant’s death.  The designation by
a married Participant of a primary Beneficiary other than the Participant’s
spouse shall require consent of such spouse. 
The Beneficiary designation shall be effective when it is submitted in
writing to and acknowledged by the Administrator during the Participant’s
lifetime on a form prescribed by the Administrator.  The Beneficiary designation in effect for the
Participant under the Prior Plan as of December 1, 2007 shall be deemed
the Beneficiary designation under this Plan until a new Beneficiary designation
is filed in accordance with the procedures under this Plan.

 

10

 

9.2           Revision
of Designation.  The submission of a
new Beneficiary designation shall cancel all prior Beneficiary
designations.  Any marriage (other than a
common law marriage) or finalized divorce of a Participant subsequent to the
date of a Beneficiary designation shall revoke such designation, unless in the
case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as a Beneficiary and
unless in the case of marriage the Participant’s new spouse has previously been
designated as the sole primary Beneficiary.

 

9.3           Successor
Beneficiary.  If all primary
Beneficiaries die prior to complete distribution of the benefits provided in Article 5,
the remaining Account balance shall be paid to the contingent Beneficiary
elected by the Participant in the form of a lump sum payable no later than the
last day of the month following the month in which the last remaining primary
Beneficiary’s death is established.

 

9.4           Absence
of Valid Designation.  If a
Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the
Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without
execution of a new designation, or if every person designated as Beneficiary
predeceases the Participant or dies prior to complete distribution of the
Participant’s benefits, then the Administrator shall direct the distribution of
such benefits to the Participant’s spouse, if the Participant was married on
the date of death, or, if the Participant was not married on death, to the
Participant’s estate.

2.1         Elective Deferral. For each Plan Year a
Participant may elect to defer any whole percentage between five percent (5%)
and one hundred percent (100%) of Compensation earned by the Participant during
the Plan Year. The foregoing limits shall be interpreted and applied by the
Administrator and the Administrator may prior to the commencement of the Plan
Year provide for a different method for the determination of allowable
deferrals for the Plan Year, further limit the minimum or maximum amount
deferred by any Participant or group of Participants, or waive the foregoing
limits for any Participant or group of Participants, for any reason.

 

2.2         Participant Election Form. In order to make a deferral,
an Eligible Director must submit a Participant Election Form to the
Administrator during the enrollment period established by the Administrator
prior to the beginning of the Plan Year during which the Compensation is earned.
The Administrator may establish
a special enrollment period for Eligible Directors hired during a Plan Year to
allow deferrals of Compensation earned during the balance of such Plan Year
after such enrollment period. The Participant shall be required to submit a new
Participant Election Form on a timely basis in order to change the
Participant’s deferral election for a subsequent Plan 

 

4

 

Year. If no Participant Election Form is
filed during the prescribed enrollment period, the Participant’s election for
the prior Plan Year shall continue in force for the next Plan Year.

 

2.3         Election Irrevocable.  The election to defer Compensation shall be
irrevocable except as provided in Article 6 in the event of disability or Section 4.4
in the case of a Financial Hardship. If the Participant’s deferrals are
discontinued under the Plan, the Participant shall forfeit the right to make
deferrals for the balance of the Plan Year in which such election occurs and
for the entire next following Plan Year.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Accounts

 

3.1         Participant Accounts. Solely for recordkeeping
purposes, up to three (3) Accounts (a Retirement Account and two Scheduled
Withdrawal Accounts) shall be maintained for each Participant and shall be
credited with the Participant’s deferrals directed by the Participant to each
Account at the time such amounts would otherwise have been paid to the
Participant.  The Participant will
designate for each Plan Year which portion of the Participant’s deferrals for
such Plan Year shall be credited to the Participant’s Retirement Account and
any Scheduled Withdrawal Account the Participant has elected to establish.  Accounts shall be deemed to be credited with
notional gains or losses as provided in Section 3.2 from the date the
deferral is credited to the Account through the Valuation Date. Amounts
credited to a Participant’s Account shall be fully vested at all times.

 

With respect to Eligible Directors who participated in the Prior Plan
prior to January 1, 2005, and who have made deferral elections under the
Prior Plan for 2005, 2006, and 2007 with respect to compensation which was
earned and became payable on or after January 1, 2005, the Company hereby
transfers all rights with respect to such deferral elections to the Plan and
the Plan hereby assumes all obligations with respect to such deferral
elections.  Such deferral elections shall
be maintained and administered in accordance with the Plan, including the
payment rules of the Plan.  The
Administrator may permit changes to such deferral elections and payment
elections in accordance with Section 409A.

 

3.2         Crediting Rate. The Crediting Rate on amounts
in a Participant’s Account shall be based on the hypothetical investment of
such amounts in the Equifax Common Stock Fund. If the Equifax Common Stock Fund
reflects a gain, the Participant’s Account shall be increased to reflect such
gain. If the Equifax Common Stock Fund sustains a loss, the Participant’s
Account shall be reduced to reflect such loss. The Company shall have no
obligation to set aside or invest funds in the Equifax Common Stock Fund on
behalf of the Participant and, if the Company elects to invest funds in such
manner, the Participant shall have no more right to such investments than any
other unsecured general creditor. During payout, the Participant’s Account
shall continue to be credited at the Crediting Rate through the Valuation Date.
Installment payments shall be recalculated annually by dividing the account
balance by the number of payments remaining without regard to anticipated
earnings or in any other reasonable manner as may be determined from time to
time by the Administrator.

 

5

 

3.3         Statement of Accounts. The Administrator shall provide
each Participant with a statement at least quarterly setting forth the
Participant’s Account balance as of the end of each quarter.

 

ARTICLE 4

 

Retirement
Benefits

 

4.1         Retirement Benefits. In the event of the
Participant’s Retirement, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an
amount equal to the total balance of the Participant’s Account credited with
notional earnings as provided in Article 3 through the Valuation Date. The
benefits shall be paid in a single lump sum unless the Participant has elected
at the time of deferral (or in accordance with the transition rules of Section 409A)
to have the benefit paid in substantially level annual installments over a
specified period of not more than fifteen (15) years. Payments shall begin on
the Settlement Date following Retirement. 
A Participant may, not less than twelve (12) months prior to Retirement,
elect to change the method of payment of the Participant’s Account at
Retirement, provided that (i) only one such change is permitted and after
such election change, the election is irrevocable; (ii) the payment date
for the Participant’s Account will be deferred for 5 years after Retirement,
and (iii) the election shall not become effective for 12 months.  The change of election shall be made through
a method established by the Plan Administrator.

 

4.2         Small Benefit Exception. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 4.1, in the event the amount of the Participant’s Account is
less than or equal to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), the Company shall pay such
benefits in a single lump sum payable on the last day of the month in which
such benefits first become payable.

 

4.3         Special Rule for Specified
Employees.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan, if the Participant is or could likely be considered a Specified Employee
(as determined by the Administrator or its designee in accordance with
procedures established by the Administrator that are consistent with Section 409A),
distributions to such Participant may not be made before the date which is 6
months after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment (or, if
earlier, the date of death of the Participant), and any distribution that would
otherwise be payable before the 6-month anniversary shall be delayed and shall
be paid within 30 days following such 6-month anniversary.

 

4.4         Financial Hardship Distribution.  Upon a finding by the Administrator that the
Participant (or, after the Participant’s death, a Beneficiary) has suffered a
Financial Hardship, the Administrator may authorize a distributions of benefits
under the Plan in the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate such Financial
Hardship.  Such distribution shall not
exceed the dollar amount necessary to satisfy the Financial Hardship plus
amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the
distribution, after taking into account the extent to which the Financial
Hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by
insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the
extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause Financial
Hardship).  In the event of a
distribution from the Plan based on Financial Hardship, a Participant’s
deferrals shall cease and the Participant shall not be allowed to make a new
deferral election until the enrollment period next following one full calendar
year from the date of such distribution.

 

6

 

4.5         Consequences of a Change in
Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each
Participant’s Account shall remain subject to the Plan’s payment provisions and
the Participant’s elections as to the time and method of payment (subject to
the Company’s rights to amend or to terminate the Plan).

 

ARTICLE 5

 

Death Benefits

 

5.1         Survivor Benefit Before Benefits
Commence. If
the Participant dies prior to commencement of benefits under Article 4,
the Company shall pay to the Participant’s Beneficiary a death benefit equal to
the total balance on death of the Participant’s Account credited with notional
earnings as provided in Article 3 through the Valuation Date. The death
benefit shall be paid in the same form elected by the Participant for
Retirement benefits under Article 4.1 (except for Financial Hardship)
beginning on the Settlement Date following the date the Participant’s death is
established by reasonable documentation.

 

5.2         Survivor Benefit After Benefits
Commence. If
the Participant dies after benefits have commenced under Article 4, the
Company shall pay to the Participant’s Beneficiary an amount equal to the
remaining benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan over the same
period such benefits would have been paid to the Participant (except for
Financial Hardship).

 

5.3         Small Benefit Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event the sum of all benefits payable to a Beneficiary is less than or
equal to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), the Company shall pay such benefits
in a single lump sum payable on the last day of the month in which such
benefits first become payable.

 

ARTICLE 6

 

Disability
Benefits

 

6.1         Disability. In the event of the
Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of a physical or mental
disability which prevents the Participant from performing the normal duties of
a member of the Board of Directors of the Company for a period of at least one
hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, deferral elections shall cease and for
purposes of the calculation and payment of benefits under the Plan, such
disability shall be treated as a Retirement entitling the Participant to
receive the benefits provided under Article 4 of the Plan. The
determination of disability shall be made by the Administrator in a manner
consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.

 

ARTICLE 7

 

Scheduled
Withdrawal

 

7.1         Election. The Participant may make an
election on the Participant Election Form at the time of making a deferral
to establish a Scheduled Withdrawal Account. The Participant may elect to
receive a Scheduled Withdrawal in any Plan Year on or after the third Plan Year
following the enrollment period in which such Scheduled Withdrawal Account is
first established and may 

 

7

 

elect to have the Scheduled Withdrawal
distributed in a single lump sum or in annual installments over a period of up
to five (5) years. The Participant may elect to make additional deferrals
into such Scheduled Withdrawal Account on subsequent Participant Election Forms
provided that any subsequent deferrals into such Scheduled Withdrawal Account
must be made not later than the end of the Plan Year ending at least 2 years
prior to the date the Scheduled Withdrawal is to commence.  The Participant may not elect another
Scheduled Withdrawal date for such Account until all of the amounts in the
original Scheduled Withdrawal Account have been paid out.  The Participant may establish up to two (2) separate
Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts with different Scheduled Withdrawal dates but
shall not establish a third such Account until all of the funds in one of the first
two Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts have been paid out.  A Participant may, not less than twelve (12)
months prior to the payment dates of any Scheduled Withdrawal Account he has
established under this Section 7.1, elect to defer the date on which payment
of any Scheduled Withdrawal Account shall commence and/or change the method of
payment of such Scheduled Withdrawal Account, provided that, (i) after the
initial election under this Section 7.1, a Participant may only make one
election change with respect to a particular Scheduled Withdrawal Account
(after such election change, the election shall become irrevocable); (ii) except
as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the first in-service payment with
respect to such changed election must be deferred at least 5 years from the
date such payment would otherwise have been made, (iii) except as
otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the election shall not become
effective for 12 months.

 

7.2         Timing of Scheduled Withdrawal.  The Scheduled Withdrawal payment shall be
paid by the Company to the Participant no later than the last day of January of
the Plan Year elected by the Participant in the Participant Election Form unless
preceded by Termination of Service. In the event of Termination of Service
prior to the date elected for the Scheduled Withdrawal, the amounts in the
Scheduled Withdrawal Accounts shall be paid in the form provided in Article 4
of the Plan. In the event such Termination of Service is as a result of the
Participant’s death, the Scheduled Withdrawal shall be paid as provided in Section 5.1
of the Plan.

 

ARTICLE 8

 

Amendment and
Termination of Plan

 

8.1         Amendment.  The Company may at any time or from time to
time modify or amend any or all of the provisions of the Plan, or stop future
deferrals to the Plan, provided that no such amendment shall reduce a
Participant’s Account balance or change existing elections with respect to the
time and method of payment of a Participant’s Account.

 

8.2         Termination of Plan.  The Company expects to continue this Plan,
but does not obligate itself to do so. 
The Company reserves the right to discontinue and terminate the Plan at
any time, in whole or in part, for any reason (including a change, or an
impending change, in the tax laws of the United States or any State).  Termination of the Plan shall be binding on
all Participants, but in no event may such termination reduce the amounts
credited at that time to any Participant’s Account.  If this Plan is terminated, subject to Section 4.3,
amounts credited to Participants’ Accounts shall be paid in a lump sum,
provided that (a) the Company terminates at the same time any other
arrangement that is subject to Section 409A and that would be aggregated
with the Plan under Section 409A; (b) the Company does not adopt any
other arrangement that 

 

8

 

would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A
for three years; (c) the payments upon such termination shall not commence
until 12 months after the date of termination and all such payments must be
completed within 24 months after the date of termination; and (d) such
other requirements as may be imposed by Section 409A are satisfied.

 

ARTICLE 9

 

Beneficiaries

 

9.1         Beneficiary Designation. The Participant shall have the
right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both
primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the
event of the Participant’s death. The designation by a married Participant of a
primary Beneficiary other than the Participant’s spouse shall require consent
of such spouse. The Beneficiary designation shall be effective when it is
submitted in writing to and acknowledged by the Administrator during the
Participant’s lifetime on a form prescribed by the Administrator.  The Beneficiary designation in effect for the
Participant under the Prior Plan as of December 1, 2007 shall be deemed
the Beneficiary designation under this Plan until a new Beneficiary designation
is filed in accordance with the procedures under this Plan.

 

9.2         Revision of Designation. The submission of a new
Beneficiary designation shall cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. Any
marriage (other than a common law marriage) or finalized divorce of a
Participant subsequent to the date of a Beneficiary designation shall revoke
such designation, unless in the case of divorce the previous spouse was not
designated as a Beneficiary and unless in the case of marriage the
Participant’s new spouse has previously been designated as the sole primary
Beneficiary.

 

9.3         Successor Beneficiary. If all primary Beneficiaries
die prior to complete distribution of the benefits provided in Article 5,
the remaining Account balance shall be paid to the contingent Beneficiary
elected by the Participant in the form of a lump sum payable no later than the
last day of the month following the month in which the last remaining primary
Beneficiary’s death is established.

 

9.4         Absence of Valid  Designation. If a
Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the
Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without
execution of a new designation, or if every person designated as Beneficiary
predeceases the Participant or dies prior to complete distribution of the
Participant’s benefits, then the Administrator shall direct the distribution of
such benefits to the Participant’s spouse, if the Participant was married on
the date of death, or, if the Participant was not married on death, to the
Participant’s estate.

 

ARTICLE 10

 

Administration/Claims
Procedures

 

10.1       Administration.
The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator, which shall have the
exclusive right and full discretion (i) to interpret the Plan, (ii) to
decide any and all matters arising hereunder (including the right to remedy
possible ambiguities, inconsistencies, or 

 

9

 

admissions), (iii) to make, amend and
rescind such rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of
the Plan and (iv) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan, including determinations regarding
eligibility for benefits payable under the Plan. All interpretations of the
Administrator with respect to any matter hereunder shall be final, conclusive
and binding on all persons affected thereby. No member of the Administrator
shall be liable for any determination, decision, or action made in good faith
with respect to the Plan. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the
members of the Administrator from and against any and all liabilities, costs,
and expenses incurred by such persons as a result of any act, or omission, in
connection with the performance of such persons’ duties, responsibilities, and
obligations under the Plan, other than such liabilities, costs, and expenses as
may result from the bad faith, willful misconduct, or criminal acts of such
persons.

 

10.2       Claims
Procedure. Any Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary may file a
written claim with the Administrator setting forth the nature of the benefit
claimed, the amount thereof, and the basis for claiming entitlement to such
benefit. The Administrator shall determine the validity of the claim and
communicate a decision to the claimant promptly. Every claim for benefits which
is denied shall be denied by written notice setting forth the specific reason
or reasons for the denial, an explanation of the procedure for further
reviewing the denial of the claim.

 

ARTICLE 11

 

Conditions Related
to Benefits

 

11.1       Nonassignability.  The Participant’s Account balance and the
benefits provided under the Plan shall not be subject to sale, alienation,
assignment, transfer, pledge or hypothecation by the Participant or any
Beneficiary and any attempt to sale, alienate, assign, transfer, pledge or
hypothecate an Account balance or Plan benefits including, without limitation,
any assignment or alienation in connection with a separation, divorce, child
support or similar arrangement, shall be null and void and not binding upon the
Company or the Plan.  The Participant’s
Account balance and benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors or
other claimants of the Participant or Beneficiary and from all orders, decrees,
levies, garnishment or executions to the fullest extent allowed by law.

 

11.2       No
Right to Comply Assets.  The benefits
paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, and
the Participant and any Beneficiary shall be no more than unsecured general
creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any assets of the
Company for payment of any obligations hereunder.  At its discretion, the Company may establish
one or more grantor trusts for the purpose of providing for payment of benefits
under the Plan.  Such trust or trusts may
be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the
Company’s creditors in accordance with the terms of the trusts.  Benefits paid to the Participant from any
such trust or trusts shall be considered paid by the Company for purposes of
meeting the obligations of the Company under the Plan.

 

11.3       Protective
Provisions.  The Participant shall
cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by
the Administrator, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder,
taking such physical examinations as the Administrator may deem 

 

10

 

necessary and taking such other actions as
may be requested by the Administrator. 
If the Participant refuses to so cooperate, the Company shall have no
further obligation to the Participant under the Plan.  In the event of the Participant’s suicide
during the first two (2) years in the Plan, or if the Participant makes
any material misstatement of information or non-disclosure of medical history,
then no benefits shall be payable to the Participant under the Plan, except
that benefits may be payable in a reduced amount in the sole discretion of the
Administrator.

 

11.4       Assumptions
and Methodology.  To the extent required,
the Administrator shall establish the actuarial assumptions and method of
calculation used in determining the present or future value of benefits,
earnings, payments, fees, expenses or any other amounts required to be
calculated under the terms of the Plan. 
The Administrator shall also establish reasonable procedures regarding
the form and timing of installment payments.

obligations of the Company under the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and
shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Company.

 

12.2       Continued

giving any Participant any right to continued service with the Company, nor as
a limitation on the right of the Company to terminate the service of any
Participant at any time.

held invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect
whatsoever, the validity of any other provisions of the Plan.

discovery of such error, be adjusted to reflect such under or over payment and,
if possible, the next distribution shall be adjusted upward or downward to
correct such prior error.  If the
remaining balance of a Participant’s Account is insufficient to cover an
erroneous overpayment, the Company may, at its discretion, offset other amounts
payable to the Participant from the Company (including but not limited to
salary, bonuses, expense reimbursements, severance benefits or other
compensation or benefit arrangements, to the extent allowed by law) to recoup
the amount of such overpayment(s).
